Early Ad Free: Dagmar of Denmark 2
Before we start this episode we chat pop culture a little bit, so use the timestamps to jump ahead if you don't care about Beyonce or the Superbowl Halftime show!
In this episode we spend time getting to know Dagmar of Denmark in her new home... Motha Russia Motha F*cka. We see her good side, her great side and her petty side. This episode is full of love, loss and so much gold. Cheers!

Yay for a 3 part episode!! Love her so far!
When you got to Sasha's death and talked about Dagmar having her children around her I literally said out loud, "don't google it!" Our poor girl.
eek! can’t wait until the next episode
As a southern girl myself, i FELT that part about Garth Brooks in the 90s.
I am from Iowa, dislike country music, and never lived anywhere near the south and I still started in with "blame it all on my roots. . ." before Katy did. You could NOT escape Garth in the 90s anywhere! LOL
