    ANNA NICOLE GOES TO SIX FLAGS....and The Dentist! Plus my Dipthyque candle review from my Kitchen!
    Nov 24 2025
    “My Fake Tooth Fell Out in Front of a TV Exec… + Ex-Six Flags Employee Explains Why Humans Love Roller Coasters + Anna Nicole Episode 4 Recap” If you love Bravo, gay chaos, early-2000s reality TV, and expensive candles… you’re home. Welcome back to SHOW PONY, broadcasting live from my kitchen for a cozy, chaotic solo episode. Today I’m unboxing and reviewing two Diptyque candles (yes, two), sharing a deeply humbling story about the moment my fake tooth fell out in front of a very famous TV executive, and diving into Episode 4 of The Anna Nicole Show — one of the most unhinged and iconic episodes of early 2000s reality TV. In this episode, Anna gets extensive dental work, Bobby Trendy delivers her now-legendary couch, they plan her absurdly glam bedroom, Anna and the crew head to Magic Mountain, and Anna shares moments of same-sex attraction with her assistant Kimmee. As a former Six Flags employee, I also break down the science, psychology, and cultural obsession behind why humans love roller coasters… and why Anna Nicole absolutely should not have been on one. If you’re into Bravo energy, gay pop culture, vintage 2000s nostalgia, celebrity chaos, luxury candles, or just want to hear my dog make an adorable cameo—this is the episode for you.
