VPR S11EP12 Ether Opal Returns!

A lovely chat with the lovely Jasmine Goode. Currently of The Valley and a veteran of Bachelor In Paradise, Jasmine chats with me about her long and storied career in the show business, being the only queer Black women on Bravo, representation and - of course - the Jax of it all.

Christina Cocca AKA Cocca Macocca returns for a long'n'lusty discussion of the latest episodes, the manic mystery of Jo, dropping the parent card. Lala's Ariana envy, production desperately trying to gaffer-tape the fourth wall (that was smashed into dust a long long time ago) back together, uncomfortable conversations, JamesMae, our dream cast for Bravo's Christmas House, Jonathan Antin's "Blow Out" and much much more.

Christina Cocca AKA Cocca Macocca joins me to talk the season so far, Episode 12, Sandoval's Tier Of Tears, the seeming obsession of production to pull all of us behind the fourth wall again, semi-sober curiosity, Lisa's collusion in these farcical initiatives, CHICAGO, and more. We taped for at least 3 hours, so look forward to and equally lengthy part two with my absolutely delightful guest Christina.

A bonus from the Craig & Friends Movie Club series Released in 1990 TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES was a blockbuster smash and no one burned with the fever of Turtle Power more than my guest, Tom Schwartz (Vanderpump Rules). Get a nice cheese pizza, stay out of the sewer and enjoy our chat about this cultural phenomenon. Craig & Friends On Apple Podcasts On Spotify Follow the show on ⁠Instagram⁠ & ⁠Twitter

The Queen Of The Vanderpump Valley Of The Dolls AKA Lauren Dawson Of Ether & Opal joins me to battle her fear and loathing of personal public experiences -especially appearing on podcasts - with some Exposure Therapy (in honour of Scheana). We also get deep into the 2nd half of Sandoval's birthday "party", Billie Lee's glee a being back on TV, Lauren's VanderTour, her dolls in display case at Schwartz'n'Sandy's, turning her passion into creation, puzzling over Schwartz, reveling in the everything that is Katie's everything, Lauren's displeasure with Ariana & her repulsion/curiosity with Sandoval, Scheana coping with OCD & our mental health "journeys", the return to the back alley, Thanksgiving K-Holes, signs of growth and signs of grim stagnation. On a technical note: We suffered some audio lag on the satellite hookup, which always causes some crosstalk. Alas...
