The INGALLS have been cast! Well, at least our "core four." Lee and Brett talk about the actors playing Pa & Ma, Laura, and Mary. This is the Netflix reboot of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, and we're running with the information we know so far.

Vincent Victoria is a playwright, filmmaker, director, actor, and a total fashion icon. He runs a theatrical company called VINCENT VICTORIA PRESENTS, and they put on plays aimed at recreating history with the Black community as a focus (most of the time). He has a particular love of divas like Diana Ross, Lena Horne, Eartha Kitt, and Hattie McDaniel. But he also branches out and does plays and films about people like Prince and Trump supporter Ashley Babbitt, who died in the riots on January 6th. For Vincent, no topic is taboo. He's one of my favorite people in Houston, and this is an interview I have always wanted to do.

In a very special episode, Brett and Lee end up on a couch with their bestie, Greg Decuire. Lee has known Greg for over forty years, and Brett has had two decades with this powerhouse of love and snide comments. We couldn't think of anyone better to discuss how much friends matter. Even if we did record this after a champagne brunch with bottomless mimosas!

D. Jerome is a Broadway actor who is coming to Houston with the touring production of THE WIZ, which is celebrating 50 years since its Broadway debut. D. Jerome is an accomplished triple threat who was in the Broadway show about Michael Jackson, and has toured with HAMILTON. He's a hoot to talk to, and this is a great episode for fans of THE WIZ!

Chicken talkin.... or rather about why we don't eat at one specific chicken place. You probably know what it is, and we just thought we'd let you know why we do that. We're not telling anyone else not to, but certainly if a company is actively working against our marriage... well, what would you do? For the record, Lee is about the KFC original recipe, and Brett is more spicy and Popeye's or Jollibee when he can get that! But neither of us eats a lot of fast food anyway, so maybe our boycott is one of convenience. Hope you enjoy!

Jenny Lee Stern is a Broadway actress who has spent fifteen years working with FORBIDDEN BROADWAY. It's a spoof show, like SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE for theater types. They are coming to Houston on a tour at the Hobby Center from April 24th through the 27th. Jenny and Brett talk about acting, Patti LuPone, and her juggling three kids and a wife while doing this gig.

Brett and Lee talk about a recent book club assignment and the movie based on the book. Is Conversion therapy still a thing?
