Welcome Lara Marie Schoenhals! Lara is a legendary podcaster, best-selling writer, and gorgeous funny girl. She created the world’s first Vanderpump Rules podcast and offers an unrivaled anthropological analysis of the cast. But first we delve into our friendship! From its sweetly erotic origins on a West Hollywood rooftop to our era working together at a media startup in Venice, we giggle our way through memories of pranks, parties, puking, and piercings. If you love listening to Lara, you’ll adore this cute and candid conversation!

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
