Kathleen opens the show drinking a DC Brau wheat beer from the DC Brewing Company. She shares the value of traveling with mini hot sauces since one of her favorite treats to collect on the road is hot sauce. Kathleen talks about the shows in DC at the Warner Theatre and New York City at Town Hall, and shares her excitement after attending DC’s African American Museum and then taking Amtrak to NYC.

“GOOD BAD FOOD”: In her quest for new and delicious not-so-nutritious junk food AND in continuing her search for the best Ranch, Kathleen samples Pennsylvania’s Middleswarth potato chips, which she likes but prefers original Lay’s. She moves on to try Heinz Creamy Ranch Mayonnaise from Australia, which is a lot thicker than US Ranch dressing and she LOVES the tang.

QUEEN’S COURT: Kathleen is thrilled to report that she will be going to Red Rocks to see Queen Stevie Nicks, and she LOVED Queen Tanya Tucker’s concert at The Ryman in Nashville, which celebrated the 50th year of the release of “Delta Dawn.”

NYC GILDED AGE MANSION FOR SALE: Kathleen loves the HBO series “The Gilded Age,” and is excited to read that a mansion on the Upper East Side’s “Millionaire’s Row” is being prepped for sale for only the 3rd time since it was built in 1903. The 20K square foot home once belonged to baron Cornelius Vanderbilt’s family.

BOMBSHELL PENTAGON UFO DOCS RELEASED: Kathleen is a massive believer in UFOs and is fascinated to read the details in a recent Pentagon report that discloses the health effects of paranormal experiences on humans.
