It’s a sunny Hollywood backyard chat with Too Niche? host and vintage Bravo expert Elizabeth Kott — the woman who convinced me to start Show Pony in the first place. Elizabeth worked with Rachel Zoe back in the day (yes, she shares what it was like to work for her), and she knows the Bravo era, LA culture, and reality TV from the inside out. This episode is a double-header:
  • Workout Season 3, Episode 2 Recap – Jackie Warner, Sky ...

S.U.P's Lara Marie Schoenhals and I unpack vintage Bravo mess, tats I got while high on pills, and our dogs wage squeaky toy warfare all in honor of Workout season 3! Show Pony tackles the Season 3 premiere of WORKOUT with a Sexy Unique Podcast crossover event: Lara Marie Schoenhals joins me to break down the vintage reality TV chaos of Workout Season 3 — and create some new drama of our own. We cover Jackie Warner’s new hair, her ...

After last week’s confrontation with Andy Cohen, I found out the Workout reunion was available to stream after all. So this episode is me walking that back—recapping the reunion, eating shit, and trying to make it right. The original plan was to do this with Justin Martindale while we got a spray tan from Sugared and Bronzed. But he overslept, so I ended up doing the recap in my living room with the spray tan girlies. It ended up b...

It’s the Workout Season 2 finale recap... but things get messy real fast.
First, John corners Andy Cohen in New York after their SiriusXM show to ask about the missing reunion episode — and it turns into a heated moment caught on camera. Then back in LA, H. ALAN SCOTT (Newsweek, Parting Shot) joins for a deep dive into the finale, but the conversation quickly spirals into a glorious sideshow covering:
  • public cruising in a West Ho...

In this supersized episode of Show Pony, I’m still technically on vacation—but when pop culture wizard Louis Peitzman (BuzzFeed, Vulture, NY Mag) agrees to sit down, you clear your damn schedule. Louis is a walking Bravo encyclopedia and a Beverly Hills local with real reality tea. We go deep—from lesbian chaos in the Jackieverse to gay porn subplots, graveyard visits, the Iraq War, and whether stressful pregnancies cause gayness (...

This is what commitment looks like, people. I flew, ferried, cabbed, collapsed—and still crawled into my Provincetown hotel bed to deliver this emergency episode of Show Pony with my BFF and towel-clad co-host, Eric Maxwell. Yes, we’re sweaty. Yes, we’re possibly hungover. Yes, we do recap Episode 6, Season 2 of Bravo’s Workout (Jackie loses it, Doug is DONE, and the emotional violence is at an all-time high). And somehow, despite ...

One of Workout’s original breakout stars, Jesse joins John for his first in-depth, on-the-record conversation about the show — and it’s not what anyone expected. John thought this would be a light, campy reunion. Instead? Tears were shed. Spiritual truths were dropped. And what unfolded was one of the most surprising, moving, and human interviews Show Pony has ever done. Jesse opens up about fatherhood, marriage, and how his time o...

John grabs Jeff Lewis after their SiriusXM shift and locks him down for a long-overdue Show Pony sit-down. What was supposed to be a recap of Workout S1E4 becomes something better: a no-bullshit Bravo download with one of the few people who lived it in real time. Jeff talks early Bravo, Jackie Warner, what the network used to be, and how reality TV warps everything — including your relationships, sense of self, and yes, your spray ...

This episode of Show Pony was barely supposed to happen. I flew out of town for a wedding, missed my production window, had no guest, and decided to record the episode as soon as I landed—delirious at midnight—with Show Pony fave Eric Maxwell. What starts as a late-night mess spirals into gay chaos: relationship drama, Bravo memories, and yes, a live trial of a blowjob throat spray. Then things take a turn: I realize a real-life Br...

After a whirlwind week of post-Jackie Warner interview fame, I escape into the shade of a WeHo park with one of my best friends and Fire Island housemate, Carey O'Donnell (SUP podcast), to regroup. In the shadow of SUR and the ghost of Sky Sport & Spa, we unpack Workout Season 2, Episode 2 while getting distracted by jacked strangers on the jungle gym. Topics include:
  • Post-Bravo fame burnout
  • The shifting sands of gay status s...

Jackie Warner. Bravo icon. Fitness pioneer. Reality TV legend. This is the conversation I never thought I’d get. After weeks of planning, last-minute chaos nearly derailed everything — first a parade ruined the audio, then Jackie got COVID, mercury was in retrograde and the mics we sent to Jackie refused to work. 
So I did what I had to: I mic’d my laptop speaker. And myself. What you’re about to hear is raw, imperfect, and complete...

John Hill swore he'd stop at Season 1... but the Jackie Warner obsession has fully taken over. In this explosive kickoff to Season 2 of Show Pony, John spirals deeper into Bravo madness, wandering NYC like a Sky Sport & Spa-possessed zombie—and yes, he even gets naked for the YouTube fans. Joining him is Andy's Girls host and Bravo authority Sarah Galli, who’s been decoding reality TV for a decade. Together, they unpack the cul...

It’s the Workout Season 1 finale, and everything goes off the rails. Jackie Warner was scheduled to appear on the podcast. Instead, she sent a shocking text (which we reenact in full). Then a parade outside destroyed our audio setup. Somehow, John Hill and Eric Maxwell powered through—spiraling live, trying to recap the finale and stay emotionally upright. Enter Broadway star and Bravo legend Natalie Joy Johnson, who shows up to de...

This was supposed to be our Show Pony season finale with Jackie Warner. Instead… chaos. In this bonus full-length episode, John Hill and Eric Maxwell recap the behind-the-scenes disaster of the finale recording: Jackie drops out last minute (via a text we dramatically reenact), a parade destroys our audio, and we try to keep it together while recapping the final episode of Workout. This is the extended cut of a shorter conversation...

John Arthur Hill takes his obsession with Bravo's Workout to a new level — by inviting a blind date to cohost this week’s Show Pony. Yes, this is their actual first date. On mic. No script. No safety net. Together they unpack Jackie Warner’s romantic storyline in Episode 5 of Workout, while navigating their own on-air chemistry. What starts as a recap turns into a meta reality show moment — equal parts awkward, hilarious, and unexp...

Fueled by a Bravo fitness obsession 20 years in the making, he impulsively travels cross-country just to loiter outside Sky Sport & Spa — the hallowed ground of Workout. Overwhelmed by his own madness, he calls Andy Cohen’s assistant (also a trusted lifelong lesbian) to emotionally process this very public, very personal spiral. �...
