The Real Pod trio are finally reunited in the studio this week for a true chaos pod of popular culture and reality television. In the Real News, the Cornies have come through with beautiful IRL interactions and beautiful gifts, we’ve spotted some very good celebrities across the motu and the ratio of sheep to humans has dropped below 5:1 for first time in 170 years. Want to feel old? Paris Hilton’s chihuahua is dead at 23, Honey Boo Boo has finished high school and Sophia Grace is 20 and has had a baby.

In reality TV news, we look at the new bonkers season of Selling Sunset and Duncan gets embarrassed again about his Lou Ferrigno flub. Three have premiered their big new rugged reality show Tracked, where there’s a lot to be learned about footprints. Also, Real Pod favourite Mike Puru has a new weekly shopping show on the NZ Herald and it is essential viewing. All that, plus a look at a really great segment from a mid-2000s Rip It Up issue.
