Ugh, what an ordeal. Yadvina got stuck in Boca because of the East Coast snowstorm and couldn't back to Marblehead. Ronna is furious, but while it might mean The Carriage House (and, God help us, The Main House) goes a few extra days without being cleaned, it also means you get an extra week of access behind the Patreon paywall!
This week we go to Patreon 269 from September 12...
There you are! After some hiding and seeking, Ronna (& Bryan) are back with another fabulous show in The Patreon Carriage House. This week we have the deepest dive you'd ever want into the history of Carl's Jr., and then Ronna (& Bryan) answer a cliffhanger about wedding shower gifting etiquette.

From August 8, 2025 - Hi, Rhonda! We've got a great show this week, especially for the many, many Brian Dennehy fans we no doubt have in The Carriage House.
