We finally got Miss September '98, Vanessa Gleason, on the show. The self-proclaimed "recluse" was definitely worth the wait. We had no idea where this conversation was headed but, this being Halloween Week, we couldn't have picked a better guest.
Vanessa fills us in on what she's been doing the past few years and most would be surprised at her new passion. Vanessa has found Dungeons & Dragons and has jumped in with both feet. As she says, "she's all or nothing". Vanessa, or her character Obsidian, and Victoria share a wild story about a night they had one of a D&D campaign. Who knew Dungeons and Dragons could elicit that type of story?
As you'll hear, Dungeons & Dragons isn't Vanessa's only passion. Vanessa is extremely spiritual. Brian asks Vanessa about her psychic ability and she explains and shares a few stories of helping people cross over. Speaking of spirituality, Vanessa has an interesting way of collecting feathers for her Aztec headdress.
We missed Jenn this week but Jenn was able to ask Vanessa a great Playboy question which leads Vanessa to talk about her centerfold theme or lack thereof. Vanessa and Brian then get on the topic of drumming, another one of Vanessa's passions. She mentions who influenced her and how drumming became therapeutic for her.
Until we get Vanessa back to share more amazing stories, find her D&D character "Obsidian" or in a drum circle with Brian...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟
