The Lo Show
Join host Lo VonRumpf, stylist to the stars and everyone's dream BFF, as he explores whatever's on his mind - relationships, dating, sex, fashion, and everything in-between. Every Thursday, Lo sits down with a celebrity guest or an awesome human being to share something old, learn something new, or just spill the tea on the hot mess express. Kings and Kweens, grab a beverage and sit down with everyone's favorite fashion-forward friend as he takes over the mic. Cover artwork by Terry Wong - agoodson.com
Today, your host Lo is opening up the pod by discussing the season finale of America, AKA the not so United States of America, AKA the first couple weeks of 2021. As always, he’s sharing his honest and real thoughts no matter the topic, and this topic is one that can’t be ignored. Not so different from the current state of American politics is another topic... cults! It’s only fitting that a sex cult scholar and reality TV and documentary Queen, Kate Casey, is joining Lo for this episode to dive into all things NXIVM. You might know Kate from her podcast Reality Life where she interviews reality stars, producers, and directors from all the shows and docs you love, including those centered on the NXIVM cult.
Kate and Lo discuss the differences between East and West Coast living as well as the current state of Orange County influencers before diving into the topic we’re all curious about: NXIVM, its members, and the leader himself, Keith Raniere. Kate describes how Keith was able to influence the rich and powerful, why she couldn’t have been recruited herself, and how the world of reality TV often mimics the always interesting world of cults. Plus, Lo shares his personal experiences with cults including Scientology and NXIVM and gets into what he thinks about the many NXIVM documentaries out there. Aren’t we glad Lo turned to podcasts instead of sex cults?

Welcome to 2021, Lo Lifers! On today’s solo episode, Lo is giving a recap of his family time in the OC during the break, life lessons learned in 2020, and sharing his favorite binge-worthy shows with you. As always, The Lo Show is a judgment-free zone where your host is always keeping it real, raw, and authentic when it comes to his life and his thoughts on the world around him, and today’s episode is no different.

Happy Holidays, Lo Lifers! On this week’s episode actress, comedian, and Love Island host Arielle Vandenberg, joins Lo on the podcast for a lighthearted and hilariously festive episode. Lo cohosted The Only Child podcast with Arielle and a reunion episode has been a popular request from our listeners. We are giving the people what they want. The two longtime friends talk all about holiday traditions, odd Christmas gifts and favorite family memories of years past.
Lo and Arielle discuss their love of tamales, his mama - the Queen’s secret family recipe, and the intensive preparation that goes into making 960 tamales (yes, that’s the correct number) every year. We hear about Arielle’s impressive talents in the kitchen (she’s the next Chrissy Teigen) and her favorite recipes which may or may not include tarts. Plus, we get a solo dive into your host’s favorite Love Actually scene that instantly brings him to tears. We find out about a potential third season of Love Island, and we learn what was on Arielle and Lo’s childhood Christmas List to Santa from giant snow leopards to dolls with hidden secrets.
We wish all of our listeners a wonderful holiday, no matter how you’re celebrating this year. We hope today’s podcast brings you the holiday joy you need even if you can’t be with your loved ones!

Lo sits down for an intimate conversation with his mentor, confidant and best friend-his mama. Affectionately known as The Queen, the two open up at the family dinner table where deep convos & words of advice have been the staple since his childhood.
His mama, The Queen is a badass businesswoman and at the core of her being is a selfless mother. She opens up about her experience with abuse, true forgiveness and how trauma shaped her parenting style. She also gives humorous insight on her personal challenge to bond with baby Lo and remaining sane during his teenage rebellion (it includes burning sensations and pubic hair)
There’s definitely laughter throughout the episode and some tears as the mother-son duo grow closer than ever before. The two reminisce about Lo’s late grandmother, AKA the Hispanic Dolly Parton, as well as breaking societal norms and gender roles through Lo’s childhood.
You can expect more conversations as this may be the first of more appearances from the shy Queen on life lessons. This personal invite to the family table will definitely be a motherly dose of insight, advice and laughter.

What better way to spend your quarantine Thanksgiving than with J-LO? Financial wizard, friend of the podcast, and “Buffalo banker guy” Jason Tartick joins Lo for a special holiday episode to talk all things sex, finance, relationships and mental health. Lo- Lifers submitted questions and now you will get your answers. They’re giving their best advice on everything from creative gifts on a strict budget to Lo’s secret recipe to help with insomnia. Jason gives us tips and tricks (a beginners guide) to investing in the stock market and tells us what apps and websites are game changers to make your money grow.
They chat financial goals, how to make money as an influencer and how to save for retirement as a small business owner. And, on a very unrelated note, they talk about Kaitlyn and Jason’s forthcoming engagement, desert island hypotheticals, and masturbation because, well, everyone does it. Hope you enjoy this beautiful bromance because while Jason may be heading back to Nashville, you better believe that this friendship is not going anywhere.
