EP. 264 — The Bridgerton Ball Fiasco w/ Hillary Anne Matthews & Ali Ghandour
Dearest Gentle Listener, today Lady Hillary Anne Matthews (Modern Family) & Lord Ali Ghandour (Superstore) join the Con-gregation to help Laci cover last month’s “Bridgerton Ball” experience in Detroit—the royal mess of an event that went from Cinderella to Salmonella. They dish on the one pole dancer hired as entertainment, the awful decor, the lack of chairs, the name “Uncle N Me”, and so much more. Plus, Hillary inspires Laci to bring back the sexual tension of finger-to-finger hand dancing at her next 4th of JuLaci party. Stay schemin’!
