Finding Sobriety, Community & A Hero’s Name: Meet Lord Hammer!

This week on Meet My Friends, I’m joined by someone who truly embodies the spirit of Pride: the one and only Lord Hammer.
In this powerful conversation, Lord Hammer opens up about his journey through addiction, finding sobriety, and discovering a deep sense of purpose through the LGBTQ+ West Hollywood Dodgeball League. What began as a community rec sport became the foundation for a personal transformation — one that led him to embrace his inner hero and share that power with others.
We talk about identity, queer joy, survival, and the lifesaving impact of chosen family. Lord Hammer doesn’t just represent Pride — he represents community, connection, and courage.
Whether you're in recovery, finding your place in the LGBTQ+ world, or just need a reminder that it's never too late to step into your power, this episode is for you.

Our Summer Starts with Pride, Exes, and Bad Movies! Nick Estrada is Back!

This week on Meet My Friends, I’m joined by my friend Nick Estrada to kick off Pride season and spiral into some truly chaotic territory. We’re talking WeHo Pride highlights, drama with exes (his, don’t worry), and why flying is officially canceled — bring back trains.
Nick just got back from Miami, where he hit the Versace Mansion (spoiler: tacky, but the cheesy pasta slapped). Meanwhile, I spent the weekend at Cinespia watching Blue Velvet with my sister and… let’s just say it was a lot. David Lynch fans, please don’t come for us.
We also get into summer plans, concerts, weird weekend energy, and why some films should never be watched in a cemetery. It’s the first taste of summer chaos — and it’s giving everything.

Natalie’s Birthday, But Make It Disney! (Field Trip Episode)

This week on Meet My Friends, I took my sister Natalie to the happiest place on earth to celebrate her birthday—and it was iconic. We hit all our favorite rides (yes, even the ones that hurt your back a little), sipped cocktails in New Orleans Square, and got two characters in one photo. That’s right. Goofy and Pluto. Together. Legendary.
Natalie dipped her toe into the world of pin trading for the first time... and now we might have a problem. Plus, we get into our constructive (but passionate) notes on the new Haunted Mansion queue. Spoiler: we're protective of our spooky real estate.
🎈 Magic. Mayhem. Mild foot pain. It’s all in here.

Bravoholics Anonymous #9: I Went to Dave & Buster’s and All I Got Was Betrayed (The Valley S2 E2 & E3)

🎧 This week on Bravoholics Anonymous we’re breaking down the messiest week in The Valley yet—starting with Jax Taylor’s “intervention”, and the mixed messages he’s putting out across Bravo’s Hot Mic, When Reality Hits, and on camera. Lindsay shares juicy audio clips from both sources to show the cracks in the carefully curated comeback.
 
🎬 Subscribe now and don’t forget to leave a rating & review if you love the drama as much as we do!🎙️ Follow Lindsay on Instagram & TikTok @filmakeher🎧 New episodes every week—because Bravo never sleeps, and neither do we.
We dive into Brittany’s growing honesty, and her reveal of what’s actually going on behind the scenes. Then, it’s time for Jesse and Michelle’s divorce drama, Aaron’s drug-coded honey business (Kilo Honey?!), and Janet’s dream birthday gone wild at Dave & Buster’s—because nothing says “I love you” like friendship fights in front of prize counters.
✨ New segment alert:We debut “Demonic Behavior”, inspired by Janet’s iconic shade and our favorite moments of unhinged Bravo villainy. Plus, Thomas is back from tonsil surgery and bravely tests his new gag reflex (yes, really) while delivering another round of his fan-favorite segment: Bravo Wisdom—aka the most unserious life advice from your favorite reality stars.
We also investigate the mysterious 20-man group chat at the center of The Valley drama and ask the hard-hitting question: Who is the mole?
🕵️‍♀️ Topics this episode include:
Jax Taylor’s rehab storyline vs. real-life podcast contradictions
Brittany’s subtle (and not-so-subtle) truth bombs

Lavender Vows, Threesomes and Other Unholy Acts

On this week’s Meet My Friends Podcast, I'm joined by the fabulous Nick Estrada—my future lavender marriage partner, pending his acceptance of my totally romantic proposal. We dive into everything from Pride month celebrations and summer concerts lighting up Los Angeles, to Nick's surprisingly wholesome past hosting a daycare radio show called "All My Grandchildren." Things heat up as we sip (and critique) Mom Water—spoiler alert: it’s not my jam—and spill the tea on experiences with threesomes.
In our recurring segment, "Doomscroll Diaries," we gleefully dissect TikTok tales of women serving up sweet revenge. Nick shares scandalous stories from his journey of being a Lutheran school altar boy who later became a fabulous go-go boy, while I recall the relatable chaos of Catholic school days. To top it off, we spontaneously develop a (brilliant?) documentary concept about joining a Catholic church purely to seduce a priest out of the priesthood—what could go wrong?
Tune in for laughs, gossip, and the kind of stories that only best friends dare to share.

Close Encounters of the Bigfoot Kind with Phillip James Latham

This week on Meet My Friends, my friend (and movie producer) Phillip James Latham joins me fresh from completing his new documentary, "American Sasquatch: Man, Myth or Monster." Buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into the deep end of Bigfoot territory—and it's way stranger than you think.
We explore two wildly different perspectives on Bigfoot, from curious cryptid to ancient ally of indigenous tribes. Phillip shares first-hand stories from his production, including a genuinely eerie encounter alone in a tree post deep in the woods, and a tale from an interviewee involving an overly affectionate female Sasquatch. Plus, we've got audio from Ron Morehead’s legendary Bigfoot recordings from the 1970s.
But it doesn't end there—we also talk mysterious ancient columns discovered beneath the Egyptian pyramids, secret moon meetings involving the Intergalactic Federation, and the elusive Solar Warden program. And yes, we even unpack what happens when you return home from Costa Rica, enthusiastically sharing the good word of cannabis with your parents (thanks, Phil).
Whether you're a Bigfoot believer, alien enthusiast, or just love a good paranormal story, this episode is packed with humor, mystery, and unforgettable moments. Don't miss it!
✨ Topics Covered:
Bigfoot theories, history, and fascinating stories from production
Bigfoot audio evidence from Ron Morehead’s archives
Breaking news in Egypt! Discovered ancient columns beneath the pyramids
Secret Moon Meetings and the Intergalactic Federation
The Solar Warden: who's patrolling our solar system?
Phillip's experience preaching marijuana to his parents after a trip to Costa Rica; open mindedness is a spectrum
