    About this Episode

    For today's Coffee Break, I beam down to Gallery 220 in Havre de Grace, MD, to have a coffee chat with Lexi Hauck. Lexi is a local creative, photographer, filmmaker, theater kid, and art administrator in my friend circle in Havre de Grace. I had Lexi watch one of my favorite movies from 2000, Erin Brockovich, starring Julia Roberts and we talked about Erin being such a Baltimore woman who has a John Waters vibe. We dish about the paranormal activities of Gallery 220 and The State Theater of Havre de Grace, Haven, John Waters, the magic of Baltimore, the new creative scene popping up in Havre de Grace, Street photography, filming the paparazzi scene of #RockStarLife: The Art Film, photography done on an iPhone vs an actual camera,  the ethics of mid 2000’s paparazzi, and so much more! Also, towards the end... I go into a rant about Erin Brockovich's connection to Erika Jayne from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules!! This was such a fun coffee break, and we dish out everything that makes Baltimore the best for young, punk creatives.

    Winter Catch Up with Stoney Williams!!!!

    For this coffee break, I chat with my best friend and legendary comic Stoney Williams for a winter catch-up, where we were drinking beer and shooting the shit with this hot mess of an episode being the result. We chat about messy sexual escapades and intimacy choreography and then go into a mental health episode I had in January where we run that experience through our comedy filter, followed by some pop culture chat about P!nk, Iggy Azealia, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B., Kat Williams, Rihanna, and others. The beers kick in about halfway through the recording, so we go off the rails towards the end with some wild and wonderful chatter... ENJOY!!

     Also, trigger warning as we talk openly about suicide and eating disorders.

    February Bravo Bitching Espresso Shot!!

    February Bravo Bitching Espresso Shot!!

    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.

    Paris in Love and Madonna... New Years Espresso Shot!!!!

    For this Espresso shot coffee break, I take to the UFO's mic solo to go into Paris Hilton and her second season of Paris in Love on Peacock. This show delivered but before I took it down, I went on a rant about seeing the DC stop of Madonna’s Celebration concert tour which was amazing. I go into the high theater of this show with Madonna’s 1991 documentary Truth or Dare, and the AIDS crisis of that period with my PSA on safe queer sex. Then the main event, Paris in Love which is just ripe for a comedic taken down, like her dog-cloning storyline, Paris’s Surrogate journey, and the Kathy Hilton of it all. Enjoy and make sure you subscribe and leave a 5-star review as I have a lot of great coffee breaks with aspirationally fabulous guests coming your way in 2024.
