Jolenta is joined by author Laura Mayer (Tryhard) to talk about a moment from Real Housewives of New York City that flew under the radar - the time Tinsley did a multi-layered product placement and then got surprised by her boyfriend. There’s surprising depth in this commercial moment and even though it’s fleeting it gives us great insight into the complicated, childlike mind of Tinsley Mortimer.
