As the host of Reality Life, a podcast that delves into television’s newest unscripted offerings three times a week, Kate Casey knows reality TV. And this week, she brought the, well, receipts to We Have the Receipts. 

In this episode, Lauren, Chris and Kate dive into everything Bling Empire Season 2, from Kevin and Kim’s tumultuous romance to whether or not Baby G — now a toddler — has outgrown his nickname. And throughout it, Kate gives the answers to the question we’re all pondering: How, exactly, can this friend group afford those designer fanny packs and Swarovski crystal toilets? 

“Her father created the first VPN, so basically they sleep on piles of cash,” Kate says of cast member Jaime Xie. Perennial queen bee Anna Shay, she says, got her money from the sale of her father’s weapons company. And Kelly’s relationship woes allegedly go way further back than Season 1 ex-boyfriend Andrew — Kate explains that Kelly actually used to be married to a wealthy scammer who went to prison for ripping off wireless consumers. 

Chris and Lauren also discuss the other reality television news of the week, including the wild Selling Sunset reunion and the newest addition to The Ultimatum’s messy family.
