Poolside to Penthouse: A Chateau Marmont Story

From lazy poolside afternoons to golden-hour views in a penthouse suite, join Lindsay St. Laurent and guest Doug Kramon as we explore the glamour, history, and secrets of Hollywood’s most iconic hotel, the Chateau Marmont. 
This week on Meet My Friends, we’re taking you inside one of Hollywood’s most legendary landmarks. From wandering past lush bungalows to settling in for conversation overlooking Sunset Boulevard and the Hollywood Hills, we unpack why the Chateau has been the backdrop for Hollywood legends, timeless stories, and star-studded secrets since 1929.
And yes—dinner after the mics went off included oysters, yellowtail crudo, a shared lobster roll, and desserts that weren’t complimentary but were absolutely worth it.
If you’re a fan of historic hotels, hidden Hollywood history, and unfiltered conversations with fascinating friends, this episode is for you.

The Buga Sphere & Other Signs We’re Not Alone!

This week on Meet My Friends, I’m joined by my brilliant, curious, and always thoughtful friend Phillip Latham — a film producer and walking vault of theories, questions, and intergalactic vibes. And today, we’re going full alien mode.
We kick things off from the hills of Buga, Colombia, where a mysterious floating silver sphere was recently discovered — and then let our minds spiral outward through some of the biggest, weirdest questions we’ve ever asked on the pod.
Are we alone? Are the aliens just hovering silently… waiting? Or are we the drama?
🛸 In this episode:
The Buga Sphere and the wild footage out of Colombia
The Simpsons: time travelers? Or just good at pattern recognition?
Tridactyl beings and “non-human biologics” with baby eggs
Lindsay’s Ancient Egypt childhood obsession
The Nazca Lines in Peru 
Crop circles 
“Humans need a daddy being” — a quote by Phil, a theory we now can’t un-hear
👽 It’s aliens. It’s humanity. It’s TikTok brain meets History Channel brain. And somehow, it all makes sense.

Surviving a dark gay influencer friend group (like emo YouTube meets WeHo)
Rules vs. rebellion, and the millennial fear of “what if”

The Pixar Theory (YES, every movie is connected and I had no idea)
Theater snack horror stories
Alien panic, fast food rankings, and universal truths we maybe weren’t ready to say out loud

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.

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.
