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...

LA drag sensation JUDY joins me to thank Ann & talk Sandoval's "good friends", birthday blues, white noise machines, Scheana's struggles with OCD, production squeezing in a few old tricks, soundproofing, non-apologies, Schwartz'n'Sandy's, watch parties, Jax's Studio City, restorative walks on Lankershim Boulevard and more.

PUMP RULES PODCAST Returns! We are BACK after a 3 season hiatus.

Scandoval has blown all of our minds - none more than mine. What brought me back? It wasn?t Scandoval alone. Charlie & our friend Madeline were essential (or culpable, depending on how you look at it) for my restarting this. As we reset and move forward, this episode serves as an introduction to new listeners. For longtime listeners, this is a way to refresh memories, learn why the show took a long break - and get to know Charlie.

As co-founder of PUMPED - the very first Vanderpump Rules podcast ever - I have a long personal and professional history with the cast. This revived version of PRP will dive into all of that as we traipse along the primrose path of reviewing and analyzing all seasons of Vanderpump Rules.

Interviews, breakdowns, bull$%2t, special event reportage...we've got so much in store for you.

Enjoy! Look for my 2-part Craig & Friends chat with Katie Maloney and the Season 10 Wrap-up episode with Madeline very soon.
