Hearing about others peoples lives and from their perspective is so fascinating...and you cover their stories so well! Everytime I come back to your channel...it is just growing more and more - so happy for you and as always you are a fabulous interviewer! Love hearing how much she cares about her fans - she just seems completely humble and appreciative!

    I listened to this interview while working on my rc cars, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't grow up with TV so I am not familiar with anything Rhonda had done- but I could still appreciate her stories. I loved how she was always able to find something new to reinvent her self when she was placed with obstacles in her life/ career. She is a very creative smart person. Great interview. I will have to check her You Tube channel out.

She seems very down to earth with her lingerie business and her other projects from home. Too bad about the show Happy Days and Henry Winkler. I wonder why he was so hard on her? That wasn't nice of him to do that and it wasn't a big deal. Oh well, she went on to better things. You did a Superb interview as always Chris!! Like 😚👍🍁🍂🍃🍁🍂🍃⚘🍁🍃⚘⚘🍂🍁🍃

    That was great! Wonderful interview, bro. Yeah, the old movies are great. Some guys, like Ti West make slow burn horrors these days. I dig the new fast stuff too. But, it's nice to watch a slower 80's style horror. That stinks about the Happy Days experience. Really terrible. That's cool that her interviews with wrestlers were great. I'm a big Stern fan! His You Tube channel is awesome. Even the new clips. He can be brutal lol! Jackie screwed things up by himself. And the Artie Lange years are my favorite Stern years. Benjy took over passing jokes to Stern, and Benjy is awesome. Great job, Chris! Have a super night :))
