Mark "Skip" Buccola Part 2: "Acting", Monkeys & Mental Health Awareness

Do you want to find out how the three topics in the title go together? They really don’t but you’ll hear about all of them when you listen to Part 2 of our conversation with Mark “Skip” Buccola.
Skip, Jennifer Pershing and Brian Olea  talk very candidly about the importance of mental health and mental health awareness. But before that, Skip talks about his “acting” career. As Skip tells us, “it would be a disservice to actors to call anything that I have done acting”. Skip explains the role of a stand-in actor and talks about a recent job where he got to work on the set of Only Murders In The Building. We know it’s a hit Hulu show but wait until you hear who was in one scene. Of course Skip stayed to watch the filming of it. Jenn also asks Skip if he ever got to visit the Playboy Mansion. Skip compares The Mansion to a famous National Park and it’s dead on.
If you listen to this podcast regularly, you know that we like to have fun but there are certain issues that we have to address. Mental health is one of those issues and we couldn’t think of a better guest to discuss it with. Skip tells us, in great detail, about checking himself into a mental hospital because he had run out of options. By doing so, it saved his life and now he’s trying to help others who suffer from that disorder. His story is so powerful and courageous. We can’t thank him enough for being so open and honest about it. If you or someone you know is suffering, pick up the phone and dial 9-8-8. There are counselors available 24/7 every day. It’s a heavy subject but we need to pay more attention. We’re just thankful that Skip had the wherewithal to ask for help. If it affects you, we hope you do too. ...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Back To The Sunset Strip With Mark "Skip" Buccola

He's an actor and a producer but we know Mark "Skip" Buccola for managing the legendary Key Club, on the Sunset Strip, which in turn helped Jennifer Pershing don the pages of Playboy, as Miss March 2009. 
The Key Club sat on one of the most famous stretches of music clubs in the world, right there on the Sunset Strip. Heard of the Roxy or the Whiskey? Maybe the Viper Room? Well, the Key Club was right in that mix, from the 1960's (when it was Gazzarri's) until 2013. Skip was there from the start and recalls the rise and fall of the legendary joint. You've heard Steel Panther mentioned on more than one occasion and Skip played a part in getting the glam metal band to perform there every Monday Night. As Jenn admits, if it weren't for those Monday night shows, she may never have graced the Playboy gatefold.
Speaking of those Monday night shows, Skip tells the story of when he first saw Jenn and all about the "stage right steps". Another band that played at the Key Club was Petty Cash, a band made-up of all-star musicians. Recently, front man Jason Womack has been battling some very serious health issues. Brian, Jenn and Skip talk about the Go Fund Me that's been set-up. If you'd like to know more or help out: (https://www.gofundme.com/f/go-for-wo-jason-womacks-fight-against-cancer)
Skip will be back for another episode where we get to chat about his acting career and an important issue to Skip, mental health. Family helps family!...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Inside The Playboy Mansion Kitchen With Matt Chin

Matt Chin started out as a Playboy Mansion Event Server, eventually making his way up to Floor Manager. What does all that mean? Take a listen and find out.
Matt joins the show, along with Dr. Butler Bryant Horowitz and hosts Brian Olea and Jennifer Pershing, Miss March 2009. As you continue to listen, you'll hear how Matt played a big part in Jenn getting that title. But first, what was life like inside the Playboy Mansion Kitchen? Matt remembers all the hard work that went into the HMH Sunday Brunch but what a dream job it was. As Matt says, "it's pretty hard to focus on work when there's a beautiful woman walking by every few seconds".
If you listen regularly, you've heard a lot about Steel Panther on this show. Well, Jenn says she owes her centerfold to manifesting, Steel Panther and Matt Chin. (not necessarily in that order) Matt, Jenn, Brian and Bryant talk about the good old days at the Key Club in Hollywood. For many a Monday night, you would find a lot of Mansion staff taking in the action. You'll hear the story of how Matt "discovered" Jenn, for Playboy. There's also a great story about a New Year's kiss between the two.
What's Matt doing now? He's got a great job but not like the one he had in his 20's. He's forever family and we can't wait to have him back...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

First Guest of '25 Has To Be Our Favorite Playboy Butler & Doctor

Happy New Year everyone. We hope everyone had a great Holiday Season!
We couldn't think of a better way to start the new year off than with one of our favorite guests, Dr. Butler Bryant Horowitz. Bryant joins Miss March 2009, Jennifer Pershing and, of course, Brian Olea, for some festive discussions.
If you know anything about Bryant or Jennifer, you know they are avid fans of the Dave Matthews Band. The show begins with some stories from the Madison Square Garden Show that Jenn and Bryant went to back in November. Fear not, it's not all DMB talk. The gang then shifts the topic to recapping the Holidays which pivots to personal opinions about New Year's Resolutions. Does anyone have any? You'll have to tune in to find out.
Brian and Bryant then remember the month where the Playboy Mansion Butler staff switched shifts. It just so happens it was in September of 2001 and Bryant was working the morning shift. One of the reasons we love having Bryant on is his amazing memory. He is a Doctor of Psychology with a study of Behavioral Neuroscience after all. Bryant has two great stories about our favorite Baywatch actress and a morning jaunt in the Playboy limo. We might just have to make Bryant an honorary co-host since his episodes are so good!...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟
 

It's A Family Affair With The Bunny Chronicles

It's been a long time in the making but Rogue Bunnies Mayhem and The Bunny Chronicles have finally gotten together for an hour of great Playboy memories!
Happy Thanksgiving week! We couldn't think of a better way to get the Holiday Season started than getting four members of the Playboy Family together to talk about life at The Mansion for the Holidays. The Bunny Chronicles two amazing hosts; Corinna Harney, Playmate of the Year for1992, and Echo Johnson, Miss January '93, finally join Victoria and Brian to talk about the good ole' days. Echo and Brian talk about their conversations that led to Echo starting The Bunny Chronicles. It took quite a bit of coaxing but Echo finally got Corinna on board, and the rest is history.
The four Playboy family members also discuss life at The Mansion during the Holiday Season. What was served, how was it decorated and who was there. Victoria remembers that holidays at The Mansion always came first. She didn't miss one for almost 20 years. Corinna also chares a great story about how she found out she was Playmate of the Year for 1992. There's a great line delivered by Miss April '91, Christina Leardini. Echo has an equally great story about some Happy Days at her first Playboy party. Find out who their favorite Playmate is of all-time too.
There are so many stories and still so many stories to get to so this collaboration will become a regular occurrence. We can't wait to add Jennifer Pershing to this mix. Our Holiday break is coming up but we're always here. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Holiday Season and Happy New Year. We'll be back in 2025. You know the slogan...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Sheena Reynolds's Incredible Journey

She's a Motivational Speaker and a Wellness Coach. But before all of that, Sheena (Shina Ray) Reynolds tells us all about her struggles and triumphs to get to that point.
Growing up in Israel, Sheena had quite a few obstacles to overcome before settling in the United States. She started acting and modeling at an early age, but fame in Israel is much different than the US, as Sheena explains. Sheena tells Brian and Victoria that she always wanted to be known for something more than just her looks but it’s not that easy in Tel Aviv. 
She's survived multiple terror attacks, a divorce that led her to pack up and move to the US with her son with nothing but a few dollars, multiple times being broke and living out of her car and a shocking ordeal involving a stalker but somehow she's risen above all of that and persevered. Sheena shares all of those stories and tells us about an upcoming "Ted Talks" that she will be speaking at. For more information about Sheena and to continue to follow her inspirational journey, visit https://shinareynoldsofficial.com/ We can't wait for someone to make a movie about her life...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

The Uber Talented Gia Ray

Musician, songwriter, model, Playboy's Cybergirl of the Year for 2016 (as Gia Ramey-Gay) and now future Series 4 Rogue Bunny, Gia Ray can do it all!
We, mostly Victoria, were very lucky that Gia Ray was in LA last month and was able to attend the "End Of Summer Fling" Party. It didn't hurt that she and Brian Olea's friendship goes back several years, back to the time when Gia would help Brian co-host "Mansion Mayhem" on Playboy Radio. 
Gia tells us that her dream of being in Playboy started early for her, around the same time that she picked up a guitar. Unfortunately, her timing was a little off and Playboy was going through a major transition in 2016, so Gia never got to the Gatefold. She did get the next best thing, the title of "Cybergirl of the Year" for 2016. Gia shares that story along with what it was like at her first Playboy Mansion party and she and Victoria share their experiences of posing naked for the first time.
Gia's not only a gorgeous model, she also has the "Gia Ray Band". The self-proclaimed "writer first, singer second" is working on her third album. Be patient. She's producing it herself so it'll come out when she's ready to release it. In the meantime, listen to her first two albums, Bottom Of The Barrel and Marks On The Wall at thegiaray.com or stream her music on every major service.
We can't wait for her Series 4 NFT's to drop. Victoria and the rest of the Rogue Bunnies crew are making sure that they are as beautiful as she is, inside and out...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Get "Spooky" With Vanessa Gleason

We finally got Miss September '98, Vanessa Gleason, on the show. The self-proclaimed "recluse" was definitely worth the wait. We had no idea where this conversation was headed but, this being Halloween Week, we couldn't have picked a better guest.
Vanessa fills us in on what she's been doing the past few years and most would be surprised at her new passion. Vanessa has found Dungeons & Dragons and has jumped in with both feet. As she says, "she's all or nothing". Vanessa, or her character Obsidian, and Victoria share a wild story about a night they had one of a D&D campaign. Who knew Dungeons and Dragons could elicit that type of story? 
As you'll hear, Dungeons & Dragons isn't Vanessa's only passion. Vanessa is extremely spiritual. Brian asks Vanessa about her psychic ability and she explains and shares a few stories of helping people cross over. Speaking of spirituality, Vanessa has an interesting way of collecting feathers for her Aztec headdress. 
We missed Jenn this week but Jenn was able to ask Vanessa a great Playboy question which leads Vanessa to talk about her centerfold theme or lack thereof. Vanessa and Brian then get on the topic of drumming, another one of Vanessa's passions. She mentions who influenced her and how drumming became therapeutic for her.
Until we get Vanessa back to share more amazing stories, find her D&D character "Obsidian" or in a drum circle with Brian...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟

Barbara Is Moore Than Miss December '92

Barbara Moore knew she wanted to be a Playboy Playmate at the age of 12. Those wishes came true in December of 1992 but a lot has happened to one of Playboy's most popular centerfolds before and after that.
We open the show talking about Rogue Bunnies "End of Summer Fling" and Barbara becoming one of Rogue Bunnies Series Four models. Be on the lookout for that drop! Brian then asks Barbara about some of the more unique "pickup lines" she's encountered, which leads to a chat about astrological signs. Did you know there’s possibly a 13th star sign? 
Before gracing the pages of Playboy, the stunning blonde became a flight attendant, at the young age of 18. Victoria, not a huge fan of flying, then asks Barb to tell her about some of the more harrowing experiences aboard her American Eagle flights. Speaking of flying, Victoria has a great story about a certain magazine that got her, and her ex, in some trouble on a flight. 
You must stay to hear a few of Barbara's Mansion stories and there are a lot of them. She's got a good one about some extracurricular activities in the Blue Room and getting in trouble with a former President of Playboy Media. (that one was much more innocent than the first). Miss Moore is not done entertaining. She hosts a weekly radio show Life Laughter Happiness. You can find it here: https://www.blogtalkradio.com/lifelaughterhappiness. Barbara is not done entertaining us either, we plan to have her back very soon. We barely scratched the surface of her Playboy stories...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟
 

More Red Carpet Mayhem From The "End Of Summer Fling"

We're back on the Red Carpet from last month's Rogue Bunnies "End Of Summer Fling", at Skybar Los Angeles, and more interviews from the vast Playboy Family. This week we have 4 decades of Playmates. 
Brian and Victoria give a little more of a recap of the evening's festivities then it's back to the Red Carpet. First up is the stunning Summer Altice (Miss August 2000). Summer gives us the scoop on the Playboy brand reboot that's happening now. Brian is shocked to see the former President of Playboy TV, Gary Rosenson. The two share a few stories about Hef's channel and talk about what Gary's doing now. After Gary, it's back to the Playmates and we've got three decades covered; Angel Boris (July '96), Kayla Collins (August '08) and Victoria Valentino (September '63). 
After a brief interruption from the "Behind the Scenes" gang (Michael & Bret), Brian catches up with another Playmate. This time it's Miss July '84 herself, Miss Liz Stewart, who will be featured in Rogue Bunnies Series 4. Capping the night off is some Mansion Butler talk with Brian and Anthony Gonzales. 
It was an amazing night for Rogue Bunnies and the Playboy Family. Become a VIP Member at Rogue Bunnies and join us at the next party. You will not be disappointed and you all know why...And the Mayhem continues! 🤟
