    This week the multifaceted Tania Raymonde, renowned for her roles in Lost, The Lincoln Lawyer, Malcolm in the Middle, and many more is our special guest. We kick off with Tania’s French ancestry, where she reveals the proper way to pronounce her name and shares stories from her upbringing at a strict French school in Los Angeles. We practice French and dive into the quirks of Tania’s family history, playfully teasing; her about “owning the beach.” Tania reflects on her journey into acting, which started serendipitously when she was discovered during a school play. From there, she recounts her early years navigating Hollywood with the same agent for over a decade, her childhood crush on the cast member on Malcolm in the Middle, and memorable roles on shows like Criminal Minds and Cold Case Files. We probe into her favorite acting gigs, with Tania fondly recalling the Jody Arias TV movie where she portrayed a killer, sharing how she embodied the mindset of such a dark character, even noting how the killer had a Twitter account. This leads to humorous discussions about sex scenes, murder mysteries, and the curious challenges of filming. The conversation takes a turn into the glamorous (and sometimes outrageous) side of Hollywood life, and we chat about private jets, fashion, and the current influence of platforms like TikTok and OnlyFans on careers. Pol’ shares a hilarious story about almost stealing a teacup in Monaco, and the group dives into the ever-changing rules of fame, debating whether OnlyFans helps or hinders an acting career. She opens about her experiences filming Texas Chainsaw Massacre in Louisiana, leading to a lively discussion about the state’s unique energy, history, and culture. We share our own dramatic stories of property ownership in Louisiana, complete with mafia-hit contractors and eerie vibes that sound straight out of a movie. Maybe we will turn that adventure into one. Wrapping up, Tania teases her new time-travel movie and discusses her passion project script, offering a glimpse into her future as a writer and storyteller. This episode blends Hollywood anecdotes, personal insights, and mystical revelations, making it an engaging and entertaining listen from start to finish. The episode’s highlight is Pol’s coffee reading for Tania, which leaves everyone stunned by its accuracy.

  • Cassandra Cass Part 2: Zoe Saldana and Sabrina Carpenter Wore What?!? Unfortunate Trans are TRUMPed, Reality TV Began with Anna Nicole Smith and I was Jessica Rabbit on Botched!
    Nov 13 2024
    In Part 2, Cassandra Cass returns with an unfiltered look into her life, perspectives, and personal journey. Kicking off with a conversation about the allure and varying standards of plastic surgery in Beverly Hills compared to other regions worldwide, she clarifies misconceptions, explaining that her transformation was less about becoming Jessica Rabbit and more about embracing her authentic self. Eager to expand her horizons, Cassandra shares her desire to join reality TV shows like The Amazing Race and Big Brother, believing that fashion isn’t just about style but reflects one’s intelligence and identity. Transitioning into “Hot Topics,” we delve into recent news, including a controversial bathroom ban for trans individuals in Odessa, Texas. Cassandra’s response is sharp and unapologetic; if she were asked to use the men’s restroom, she warns, husbands might need guarding. With a mix of humor and insight, she touches on the phobias and prejudices trans people often face, leading into a broader discussion on the fairness of trans athletes competing in women’s sports, acknowledging the backlash and complexity of the topic. In “Runway Rundown,” we critique celebrity fashion. First up is Zoe Saldana in a velvet dress; while none of them love the look, they agree that Zoe’s confidence makes it work. The conversation then shifts to Sabrina Carpenter, which receives unanimous disapproval, before closing with Cassandra’s own striking look in a Pol’ Atteu couture gown—a piece she recalls almost swapping with another model’s dress. Cassandra’s admiration for fashion and self-expression shines as she reflects on her own style evolution and the confidence she’s gained in her journey. In a powerful moment, Cassandra opens about her family and the decades it took for her father to accept her as transgender. Patrik and Pol prompt her to share the story behind her drag name and the impact of her drag mother. As they discuss loss and friendship, and she reveals her hard-earned boundary of walking away from relationships that don’t reciprocate and emphasizes the importance of valuing oneself and only keeping friends who bring positive energy. Cassandra humorously admits she spends more on achieving her “Jessica Rabbit” look than on her education, reminiscing about her journey and reflecting on the wisdom she’s gained. This intimate, empowering, and raw emotions captures Cassandra’s unwavering spirit and her dedication to authenticity, making it a must-listen for fans and newcomers alike. We end with the second half of Pol’ reading Cassandra’s coffee cup grounds and —a unique, insightful ritual that reveals Cassandra’s ongoing journey for acceptance, both with others and within herself. The reading brings out Cassandra’s vulnerability and growth, as she reflects on her abstinence, the joy of adopting a new cat, and her commitment to self-love.

With humor and raw honesty, Cassandra takes us on a journey through her past, from growing up in Des Moines, Iowa, to becoming a fixture in the Los Angeles scene. She shares the emotional and physical challenges of her transition, reflecting on her relationship with her family, especially her late mother, and the trials of being a transgender woman in the 90s. In between humorous anecdotes about her burlesque performances, Thanksgiving parties with celebrity guests, and even joking about facelifts and “Armenian coffee,” Cassandra dives deep into more serious topics like dating as a trans woman, gender identity, and society’s evolving understanding of the LGBTQ+ community. The conversation is as heartfelt as it is hilarious, revealing Cassandra’s resilience and unique perspective on love, identity, and self-acceptance. She also sheds light on her health challenges, including a vocal cord issue that has shaped her experience, while maintaining her signature wit and grace. We discuss boundaries in friendships, shedding negativity, and the importance of intimate circles in our lives and reminisce about pivotal career moments, fashion shows, and the importance of authentic connections. Cassandra’s recounting of personal traumas—ranging from family struggles, including her mother’s addiction and strained relationships with her brothers, to being a survivor of transphobic violence—reveals a raw and tender side of her life story. It's a deep dive into her thoughts on family, potential motherhood, and her nurturing instincts. Though she shares her hesitations about raising children, she expresses her passion for helping those in need, especially young people who come from difficult backgrounds, hinting at a possible future of fostering and giving back. Cassandra reflects on her journey from performing in clubs to landing a role on Strut, a groundbreaking show about a trans modeling agency produced by Whoopi Goldberg. We learn about her firsthand experience with the fashion world, from working with the Slay Model Agency to the complexities of navigating fame and authenticity in a media-driven industry, including her complicated relationship with America’s Next Top Model star Isis King, addressing a public fallout that brought tensions to light, particularly during a controversial incident involving Caitlyn Jenner and her tribute to the late Alexis Arquette. We wrap up our first half with Pol’ reading her Armenian coffee cup grounds and he offers a vulnerable look at the relationship with the love of her life and family, particularly the evolving bond with her father and upcoming trip and shares the importance of seizing every opportunity that leaves Cassandra speechless, and she professes her shock at the accuracy of what Pol’ sees in her cup.

Amy expresses her belief that while many think of heaven as a far-off reward, she prefers to focus on creating heaven on earth through meaningful connections with others. She reveals that she feels John’s presence guiding her through life and that she has learned to embrace those signs rather than ignore them. We reveal our bucket lists. What do you think they are, and do they match up with yours? Amy lightens the mood further by sharing a hilarious story about her experience flying with the Blue Angels during her time on Wings, and her fantasy of racing through the empty streets of Los Angeles.

    Oct 17 2024
    This week we are with beloved actress, advocate and friend, Amy Yasbeck, known for her iconic roles in Wings, The Mask, Splash Too and the widow of legendary actor John Ritter. She takes us on an emotional journey through her life, career, and personal challenges and shares touching stories, laughs, and moments of deep introspection. We begin with the history of her necklace, which once belonged to John Ritter’s mother and she reminisces about his parents and their Hollywood roots, weaving family history with personal anecdotes. We discuss travel, their time in Ohio, and the quirky realities of air travel back when smoking was allowed on planes. Amy reflects on her parents’ early deaths from smoking, candidly revealing that she is now 62 years old and has overcome breast cancer herself, thanks to early detection. She emphasizes how crucial early detection has become in her advocacy work. Amy opens about John Ritter’s tragic death in 2003 from an undiagnosed aortic dissection. She explains the medical complexities of the condition—how it can mimic a heart attack and why proper diagnostics, like a CT scan, are critical. With clarity and precision, Amy describes the mechanics of the aorta. The John Ritter Foundation, emerged from the heartbreak of John’s passing, aiming to spread awareness about aortic dissection and discusses the life-saving efforts that her foundation has inspired, including her brother-in-law’s diagnosis. She expresses the bittersweet reality of how awareness often comes too late reflecting on with empathy and insight. Amy’s passion for standardizing medical care has led to the development of the “Ritter Rules,” a set of guidelines now implemented in hospitals to improve diagnostics for aortic dissection. She stresses the importance of genetic testing for those with family histories of the condition and shares stories of how the foundation’s work has already saved lives. She shares lighthearted moments of learning French—only to remember commands like “shut your mouth and sit down”—and laughs about jewelry, coffee, and experiences on set as an actress. Touching on the importance of mental health, reflecting on the loss of her longtime therapist and how therapy has helped her navigate life’s challenges.

Amy feels a renewed sense of purpose, recognizing that she needs to balance her advocacy work with a return to her acting career. We end on a profound note as she reflects on her love for John Ritter, describing him as the love of her life and the source of her “heaven on earth” and we touch on the afterlife, skepticism, and the importance of living life authentically. Amy reveals that she’s ready to move forward while honoring who she has become through life’s trials.

  • Frenchy Morgan PT 2: Unfiltered & Unleashed: Frenchy’s Wild Confessions and Hidden Talents
    Oct 2 2024
    It’s part two of our unfiltered and wildly entertaining conversation with Frenchy Morgan. Kicking off with the always scandalous Haute Topics, we dive straight into Frenchy’s opinions on influencers, and she doesn’t hold back, stating that being an influencer is “too much work” for her, leading her to proudly share how she’s been banned from entire countries and social media for her unapologetic personality. From there, the conversation takes a hilarious turn when Frenchy explains how, if she were an influencer, she would monetize it in her unique way—likely involving her outrageous persona. We don’t stop at influencers, as we discuss her hidden talents and that she gets naked and goes on to reveal her love of dancing live, where anything can happen including a dance in a champagne glass—one of her lesser-known hidden talents and she surprisingly responds that she’s a skilled horse rider and surfer. As the conversation heats up, Frenchy shocks us by exposing her breasts showing us a trick she can do with a dollar bill and Pol’s scream echoes through the room as he’s caught off guard and compares the experience to a “shark attack,” while Frenchy revels in her ability to surprise and entertain. On a more serious turn we bring up the tragic story of an Olympic athlete set on fire by her ex-boyfriend and later died. It’s a collective horror of the incident, leading to a deeper discussion about domestic violence. Frenchy shares that she’s never personally been involved in domestic violence but heartbreakingly reveals that one of her friends was recently a victim, sparking a raw and emotional conversation about why some women stay in abusive relationships. Shifting gears, the group transitions into their Runway Rundown, where Pol, Patrik, and Frenchy critique celebrity fashion moments. From Lady Gaga’s velvet top with a cat mask to Taylor Swift’s floral gown and Frenchy’s iconic pink look, which she reveals is her bare skin exposed, with only pasties covering her breasts. It’s a no-holds barred Runway Rundown with a lot of laughs and playful roasting, but it’s clear the group is having fun and appreciating Frenchy’s boldness. As the episode progresses, the conversation turns to Frenchy’s past as a stripper and the story of a $25,000 tip and the wild tale that came with it. In contrast, she also shares the story of her lowest tip and the memorable circumstances surrounding that encounter. The energy stays high as the group plays a lightning round of questions. Frenchy shares her positive view on platforms like OnlyFans and non-gendered bathrooms, admitting that attending college wasn’t for her but standing firm that abortions should be legal in every state. Toward the end of the episode, Pol leads Frenchy through the second part of her emotional coffee reading, revealing that she’s been holding onto something buried deep in her heart. Frenchy listens intently and he gives her a method to bring it to the surface, urging her to contact him once the realization comes to her. Frenchy, moved by the reading, agrees with Pol’s insights, and the moment takes a profound turn when she shares how her late dog has been communicating with her from beyond the grave.

    This week we welcome our friend and fellow Jeff Lewis Radio Host, Doug Budin and he charms us as with a jar of his homemade tomato sauce, and Pol’ recalls cooking with his mother, leading to a deeper dive into Armenian cuisine, culinary roots and recipes and favorite spots in Los Angeles to find authentic ingredients. Doug shares some of his favorite dishes he learned to cook while in Sweden, which segues into his popular cooking show, Cook & Kibbitz, merging his love for food with his signature charm of conversation. He reveals the book Like Water for Chocolate inspires him in the kitchen and food holds emotional and cultural significance in his life. Teasing an exciting upcoming episode with a professional chef and looking forward to the collaboration and Doug announces a major milestone—he’s just signed a brand partnership for his cooking show! Shifting gears to the evolution of Cook & Kibbitz during the pandemic to pass the time. What started as a fun experiment turned into something much bigger after a personal betrayal from someone, which led him to take the show more seriously. He recounts the hilarious details of the original episode, cooking live, complete with mistakes and improvised moments. Jeff Lewis saw the episode online and inadvertently helped Doug’s show go viral by cyber-bullying him in jest, creating a buzz that Doug is surprisingly thankful for. As they continue a trip down memory lane, Doug reflects on cooking adventures and we see a different side of him when we learn he was a photographer’s assistant in his early years traveling the world and collecting different salts from every place he visited beginning his love of salt. He even shares a terrifying memory of being at the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, one of the most frightening moments of his life, and how it pushed him to his limits. Doug’s acting career and his time on Two Broke Girls, working closely with the iconic Jennifer Coolidge and delightful memories of doing stunts on set and playing a straight man takes center stage. His love for acting shines through as he reminisces about his first big break in Hollywood on Frasier, and we all share some behind-the-scenes stories about the ever-changing entertainment industry. We discuss working in the industry post-COVID and how the landscape of casting has dramatically shifted from in-person to self-taped auditions becoming the new norm. Doug stays optimistic, crediting his agents for helping him navigate his career and relishes in humorous stories of awkward auditions, including a time when he accidentally splashed water all over himself just before an important audition at Warner Brothers. The episode ends with a fascinating detour with the first half of his Armenian coffee reading, and Pol’ hints at unresolved issues that he faces each year, predicting that a major, unexpected project is on its way. Pol’ further reveals that Doug’s path has been cleared for new opportunities, but he still has work to do to fully open the door to these blessings. The reading ends on a hopeful note, with Doug feeling encouraged and ready for what’s to come, involving a wishbone, the next full moon and symbolically sealing his wishes and intentions for the future.
