Summary

Jess welcomes Vanderpump Rules OG Peter Madrigal to chat about the trials & tribulations of perhaps the only man truly working at SUR. Peter reminisces about dating Stassi, watching the RHOBH crew film at SUR, and the fateful day when the employees were approached about a Housewives spinoff that would become VPR. We discuss the recent editor/Scheana scandal as well as his reaction to the racist tweets that surfaced from Max & Brett. We also chat about the increased frequency of scenes that feel fake or heavily produced and Peter has a lot to say!
