On this episode of Chewing on Pearls, we listen and respond to 23 voice memos sent to us by friends, fans, and monsters that attended one of Lady Gaga’s three sold-out shows in Chicago earlier this month. These “Voices of MAYHEM” detail their myriad experiences at The MAYHEM Ball with thoughts, feelings, analyses, praise, and messages for Mother Monster that perfectly capture this triumphant chapter of Gaga’s legacy. 

Thank you to all who lent their wonderful words to this episode: Halli, Eddie, Jackson, Will, Maria, David, Kate, Omar, Jake, Natalie, Jamie, Chase, Michael, Declan, AP, Jax, Pat, Gemma, Chaz, Chelsea, Rachel, JoElle, and Sarah.
