For this Espresso shot episode, I take to the mic solo for a February catch-up to rant and bitch about Bravo. I lost my voice for most of January, so I start out bitching about that, followed by some talk on Joan Crawford. Then onto Bravo where I get into the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 premiere, where I talk about what I want out of VPR this season. Then onto The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills where I spill a strange synchronicity I had with Khalil Gabron’s poem The Prophet, mentioned on this most recent episode while they are in Spain. Followed by my confessing my love for The Real Housewives of Miami and how it is the best franchise on Bravo as they are playing by the early 2010’s Real Housewives rule book that legacy Bravo fans click with, along with some Bravo history with Being Bobby Brown, Hey Paula!, and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Then I end it with chatter about Wendy Williams and her upcoming docuseries on Lifetime. Enjoy!!
I talked about Suicide during the Beverly Hills portion so trigger warning, also I talked about my friend’s non-profit, The Doc Perry Foundation, specializing in preventing Veteran Suicide.
