    Fires, Funerals, and Full Disclosure: I dated a scammer! The Anna Nicole Rewatch continues
    Dec 22 2025
    “This episode has grief, fire damage, a secret hooker, and Vegas trauma.”

    I took a two-week hiatus from Show Pony—and came back with what might be my most personal (and unhinged) episode yet. This is Episode 6, Part 2 of Vegas from The Anna Nicole Show, but the rewatch quickly turns into a full life update:
    – Saying goodbye to my best friend at his funeral
    – An update on the fire damage that left my apartment unlivable
    – A first date I went on yesterday
    – And two absolutely insane stories from my past Including:
    • The man I dated in 2016 before discovering he was a secret hooker
    • A chaotic 2005 Vegas trip with Michael Arden that feels like a fever dream
    • Grief, oversharing, gay dating red flags, Broadway lore, and Vegas regret This episode is raw, funny, uncomfortable, possibly TMI—and exactly what Show Pony is supposed to be. If you love Bravo chaos, reality-TV nostalgia, Broadway stories, celebrity proximity, dating scams, and emotional whiplash… welcome back to the circus. 🎧 New episodes weekly

  • Anna Nicole Goes to Vegas…and MY APARTMENT Caught Fire?! Raw Hotel Episode - Heated Rivalry Review!

    Anna Nicole Goes to Vegas…and MY APARTMENT Caught Fire?! Raw Hotel Episode - Heated Rivalry Review!
    Dec 1 2025
    “This Thanksgiving took a turn I never saw coming—LA, tragic news about a friend, and then a fire back home. This recap is brought to you by smoke damage, hotel lighting, and my rapidly declining mental stability.” This might be the most chaotic episode of SHOW PONY ever. Anna Nicole goes to Vegas (Season 1, Episode 5)… and I go to a hotel because the building next to mine caught fire and filled my entire apartment with smoke. In this raw, unedited hotel-room episode, I break down: 🔥 My Thanksgiving disaster 🔥 The smoke damage that displaced me from my NYC apartment 🔥 How my building handled it 🔥 My trip to LA 🔥 Heartbreaking news about one of my best friends from high school 🔥 And a light review of Heated Rivalry (the book AND a metaphor for my building management) Plus: Anna Nicole Smith dancing, drinking, and spiraling her way through Las Vegas—one of the campiest episodes of the series. If you love NYC chaos, Bravo-era nostalgia, gay storytelling, LGBTQ mental health conversations, and unfiltered behind-the-scenes life updates, this episode is for you.

    NYC fire, smoke damage, renter drama, Anna Nicole Vegas recap, LA travel, LGBTQ mental health, queer commentary, and a Heated Rivalry book review—all in one RAW hotel episode. Literally no cuts. No edits. Just me trying to survive Thanksgiving weekend.

  • ANNA NICOLE GOES TO SIX FLAGS....and The Dentist! Plus my Dipthyque candle review from my Kitchen!

    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. LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for more deep dives, recaps, candle reviews, and chaotic gay energy. 0:00 – Cold Open: The Tooth That Betrayed Me 1:12 – Welcome to the Kitchen Episode + Show Overview 3:08 – Diptyque Candle #1 Unboxing & First Impressions 6:40 – Diptyque Candle #2 Unboxing + Scent Review 10:22 – My Fake Tooth FELL OUT in Front of a Major TV Executive 15:19 – Personal Dental History + Future of My Teeth 18:52 – Episode 4 Recap Begins: Anna’s Dental Work Saga 23:33 – Bobby Trendy Delivers the Infamous Couch 28:04 – Designing Anna’s Bedroom (and the Drama) 31:45 – Magic Mountain Trip + Former Six Flags Employee Secrets 36:58 – Why Humans Love Roller Coasters (Actual Breakdown) 41:12 – Anna’s Same-Sex Attraction Moments With Kimmee 45:44 – 2000s Reality TV Nostalgia Rant 48:55 – Dog Cameo: The Real Star of the Episode 50:10 – Final Thoughts + Candle Verdict 52:40 – Outro: What’s Coming Next on Show Pony
