you jealous of you feeling all the feelings for you I'm so sorry that you are not able to join us um I'm very excited I don't want to like you know I feel like about on a Friday's episodes a lot of the times I'm like headed somewhere whether it's like a weekend away and most of the time like you like couldn't care less you couldn't pay me to go right right but this is definitely a tough pill for you to swallow and i'm really sorry yeah well i just hope that luke gets laryngitis and he has to cancel both shows when you're already at the hotel jackie is wishing negative energy towards me i reject reject. I reject your energy. I hope that your ball gets hit into the lake. My ball?

Wow, I'm quoting you and you don't even realize. Oh, oh yeah. Your golf video. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm excited. You know, let's not dwell on it too much. How about that? Like, I'm just going away for the weekend.

I'll see you on Monday. Okay, maybe you will. Maybe you won't. Where are you going to go? This could be the thing that breaks me. Oh. She's, she'll be broken. Yeah. No, it's going to be hard.

But I'll push through. I keep waiting. I keep waiting for you to be like, no, I'm kidding. I hope you have an amazing time. No, no, no, no. Like, honestly, I don't feel that way. You don't wish I have an amazing time. Honestly? No. I by the way I'm an extremely like vindictive jealous person. Like I understand where you're coming from. I can't even be mad. No and like I never said that before. Like when you went

to when you guys were going to ERAs and I couldn't go like of course I wanted to go. Stage coach. I hope you had an amazing time. Like it's's okay. But, like, this is just a hair too far. It's hitting different. Yeah. Okay, well, my offer still stands to take you next weekend in Philly. Thank you for the offer. Just think about it. Okay, I'll think about it.

Actually, I don't think I'm going to drive with you for a while. Okay, well, speaking of, Jackie and I yesterday as promised filmed our kind of critically acclaimed long-awaited second mukbang video ever. It was uploaded to Patreon this morning so it is an hour-long mukbang and that's because it was not what we expected. Like it kind of turned into this absolutely miserable journey. We routed poorly. We planned poorly all we like had high hopes in the beginning and then like the second thing started to go wrong Jackie and I were both just in like foul moods everything was going wrong yeah starting with the outer rail like the GPS just took us the worst way

every single time the we did plan a nice route but apparently when you search like drive-thru fast food on google and they give you a place like it's you search like drive-thru fast food on google and they give you a place like it's not actually a drive-thru so that's google's fault we drove like so far for nothing and you know but we did get food we mukbanged but not in the way that we were hoping to no and we tried to really like find the positives in in the journey and the positive was there the positive was sonic yeah and i don to spoil, you know, the amazing work that we did. But I highly encourage you to go over to Patreon because Sonic is everything. And it was Jackie and I's both first time at Sonic.

Yeah, it was. The video is up now. You can watch it now. Patreon.com slash the toast. It is so long because there was just like so much journey. Yeah. So many unexpected turns. The ratio of like eating to driving, to talking and driving and singing, it's probably like a fifth.

100%. I was gonna say like 70-30. 70 driving? Yeah. Okay, so you're saying 30% eating. I'm saying 20%. Okay, we're so in line mathematically. Let's call it 25. I hope not sporadically of course. Let's call it 25. Well I hope everybody enjoys that. A nice you know extra treat on this Friday. Friday. Gotta get down on Friday.

And get your ass to a Sonic if there's one near you. That's the moral of the story. Get your ass to a Sonic. Maybe when you're on your road trip this weekend, you guys could stop at Sonic. And you could tell Margo and Emily, like, you're kind of a connoisseur on the menu. Make some recommendations. We actually have routed our journey to Boston already. We will be stopping at Cheesecake Factory on the way, which I'm happy with.

Mookbang part three. Mookbang part three. What are we going to eat in the car? You could eat. Oh, does a mo mukbang have to be in a car? Not historically, especially where mukbang originates in Asia. It's, I think, mostly done at home. American mukbang. I don't know what it is about American culture that we all just like sit in our car and eat. It's fast food. But yeah, we, mukbang, America's version, is definitely giving, you know, auto energy. What do you get from Cheesecake Factory? Depends on the day. Depends on like

where I'm at in my health journey. If you're splurging. I love the orange chicken. Okay. I love a grilled chicken sandwich. I love, that's pretty much it. If you're being skinny? Like grilled chicken and rice. Oh, okay. Cool. No bread. Yeah. Well, I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks. And then I hope you get food poisoning. And then I hope your car crashes. No, no. No, no, you don't. Nothing crazy. Who are you wearing rollers for? Oh, I got a blowout this morning just because I don't want to be, you know, doing my hair all weekend.

We're going to the concert tonight and tomorrow night. And I want my hair just to be like taken care of for me. So I figured while we were podcasting, I'll let my front pieces set and wear my rollers. That's so nice. You could drive with them too. I was thinking that, but they are annoying me. Are they? Yeah.

The Velcro rollers like are good because you don't need clips, but they're not like the most sturdy. But you could just put a clip in and it would become sturdy. Turdy is not feeling sturdy. You could be turdy sturdy with a clip. I could, but then I find when you put a clip in with your roller, like it leaves a little indentation, you know? Got to get the right clip. Which I certainly don't have here.

No. I'm limited. Yeah, agreed. You got to invest in a clip. So before I head out on my journey, which, you know, we're hoping here is going to be terrible, we've got some business to attend to. We've got Fast Five Stories. We've got, you know, some dog business. Oh my god, wait. I spoke on a panel last night. It was fabulous. And then,

you know, before and after there was like a little schmooze with people who work at the company. And of course, you know, the toasters found their way to me. And one of the toasters, who was fabulous, introduced me to her co-worker. Guess what his name was? I don't know. Guess. Harry? No, no, no. Something really toasty.

I don't know. Come on. I really, I can't, my brain can't expand that far. Bryson. Streisand. I said Bryson as, Bryson of the Bryson Streisands? And what did he say? He didn't know what I was talking about because he was just the co-worker of the Toaster.

He was just the co-worker. Wow. Nice fella. Bryson is here at my feet, catching up on his Zs because he and I and the whole family had a horrible night's sleep thanks to the little angel baby Harry who woke up at 1130 and didn't go back to sleep until 330. Little angel baby Harry. It was really brutal. Like, he wakes up a lot in the night and he's been falling back asleep like a little faster

because he just sleeps with us. But he was just up. Like, what do you do when they're just up at 11 30? Did Harry like have some caffeine or something? No that's that's what it was he was just like ready to play he was singing like it was we tried everything and honestly I know it's like torture but it sounds like heaven. No I know for a while it was but then I was really starting to fall asleep and like he really, he wasn't. Yeah. And then he kept me up and then when he eventually falls asleep, then you have to start falling asleep. I didn't fall asleep until like four last night.

Oh my God. And I hadn't slept before, like when he woke up at 1130, I was still reading. So. Well, the weekend couldn't be coming at a better time for you. Alarm-free living. I'm so sorry. Yeah, no, it's so if I'm crabby today, just please forgive me. Oh, okay. See, that's why I always tell everyone when I'm on my period. Because if I'm crabby, I think context is important.

So thank you for sharing that. And I know you actually want me to have an amazing time this weekend. It's just the exhaustion getting to you. No, that part I meant. I'm kind of living for Krabby Jackie. I know. I hate to be her, but like, and then, and then of course. But Jackie, I hate to be her, but she lives inside me.

She does. And of course when it's like 3.30, then I'm like so stressed about, you know, what time I have to wake up and then, then I have to do the toes and I'm so tired and I'm so angry and it's just, it was stressful. I'm so sorry. Your Krabby energy is 100% earned. I will not take it personally. And I'm kind of looking forward to the crabby energy

you're going to be giving these really turnt stories. Oh, okay. I can't wait to do so. Also, I just wanted to share something so funny because last night before I exported the vlog, like we did something so technologically savvy. Claudia watched the vlog. we facetimed and I shared my screen and so we watched it together through screen sharing yeah and I told

Zach like because he what he was like watching clips of the vlog while I was editing it and I'm like by the way we're about to watch it so if you want to like sit down and watch with us and literally halfway through I was like trying to take pictures like for three minutes of my chip which like just being stupid and he was like are are we being filmed and I was like what do you mean he's like this is a live viewing oh my god Jackie okay he thought that we Jackie where we were record like that people were watching us watch the vlog watch and I'm like have you been sitting here the whole time thinking that you're on camera? Okay.

Because, you know, I was really thinking, because I kept looking at you guys while we were watching. I'm like, it's literally so sweet. Like Zach thinks we're so funny and interesting. Because like, no matter what, whenever I'm showing Ben something, the vlog is 54 minutes. So I'm like, okay, after 10 minutes, even, you know, somebody who loves us dearly is going to get like, all right, can I go home now? I was like, Zach is so so attentive he is such a doll I really don't give him enough credit for

being so supportive of our work and now I know he just thought he was being filmed yeah he thought that he was on camera I'm like you think I would sit here on camera like this like just taking pictures of my chip witch I'm like in dying that's the cutest like thing ever but i am crushed like i thought he was really supporting us i need to try and think eventually he did like go to the other side of the couch and like stop watching the vlog but i don't know if it was right when he realized he wasn't being recorded wait that's truly like the funniest thing ever it was so funny and i wanted to tell you but i was on mute because we were screen sharing. Yeah. So I didn't. Oh my god that's so precious. I can't. That's literally the most precious thing. Yeah. Oh I just thought of today's title. I just feel like I want to say it because like we always forget. Okay. Sturdy Turdy and

Crabby Jackie. Something along those lines. Just giving like our energies. Okay. Pending nothing better comes along. She hates it. No, sometimes like when we put our names in the title, we can't do it that often. And we do it. I don't really feel like we do. We don't do it like every day. Sound off in the comments. What do you think about the title Sturdy Turdy and Krabby Jackie?

It's just when you think of, you have to think about it in the context of the charts and like what people will gravitate towards. Listen, fuck the think, you have to think about it in the context of the charts and like what people will gravitate towards. fuck the charts. Like, I can't keep living for the charts. The charts like,

really, I think it's becoming like a toxic platform for me. I have to stop living for the charts. Like, I'm sacrificing my own happiness and creativity

for the charts. I don't think that you are. I don't think that. No, I believe, I truly genuinely believe that I am. I don't think that anybody

could get you to do something that you didn't want to do. The charts could. The charts could, but they don't think that. No, I believe that. I truly, genuinely believe that I am. I don't think that anybody could get you to do something that you didn't want to do. The charts could. The charts could. But they don't because they're a reflection of Turdy's will. Turdy's will. Okay, that could be a title. A reflection of Turdy's will. Yeah.

But we can't have our names in the title. I'll make an exception. Now I'm Krabby Jackie. Totally. And I'm Sturdy Turkey. All right, should we dive in? Yeah, let's dive in. The stories we need to round out the week with these stories.

Yeah, it's literally everything. Our first story, Ariana Grande is dating her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater after Dalton Gomez split. So apparently Ari's dating Broadway alum Ethan Slaterater who is her co-star in the upcoming film adaptation of Wicked sources confirmed to People one source says Ariana and Dalton separated in January she and Ethan recently began dating and he is separated from his wife reps for both stars have not returned multiple requests for comment she's set to play glinda in wicked uh movie and he's playing bach the

love interest of elphaba's sister nessa so i think everyone went on a collective journey when they heard this like oh my god ari has a new man it's ethan slater who and then going to look him up and being like oh and then doing further research and finding out this man is in fact married so then everybody went on like Instagram stalk rampage trying to figure out you know the last time he posted a photo the last time he posted a photo was I believe Mother's Day which you know you can post for the mother of your child without being you know that's the sign of a good parent you know I'm excuse me a good co-parent is that like you can wish you know the father or mother of your child a happy mother or father's day so it doesn't it's not necessarily incriminating then you know Dumois came out and was like no

they're fully married Ariana's hung out with them a bunch of times and you know the wife was completely blindsided by this affair and then you know everybody then again did some research and Ari kind of has like a track record of being like a feeling you know unfaithful queen you know there was Big Sean who you know Naithful queen you know there was big Sean who you know Naya Rivera there was some overlap there was of course Pete Davidson who I believe broke up with uh Cassie David like four minutes before he went on a date with Ariana Grande like she kind of you know and you know I do not in any way approve of you know stealing other people's men but having said that you, what we said earlier this week,

how like Ari's just kind of this like, you know, the seven husbands of Ariana Grande vibe. Like I'm also here for her like kind of just like not giving a fuck. She's the usurper. Yeah, literally. And like if she leans into it, like whatever, you know, just keep your man away from Ari. Yeah, I think this time is the most messed up just because he's married

and they have a kid. But people are responsible for their own actions. And if this man's going to step out on his wife for Ari, then, like, he needs to be held accountable for that. A hundred percent. And, like, you really can't. What's that? I think it's from, I forget what it's from.

You can't lose something you never had. Like, this man was going to leave. Or he was going to cheat. cheat like he was so easily persuaded you know yeah I'm not sure that directly applies here it doesn't it doesn't but it's a good quote a beautiful quote what movie is that from because you can't lose something you never had she says it just like that breaking up but they like weren't in a good relationship. I'm finding it. Something you never had.

Movie. I think his name was like Chad or something. Oh, yeah, of course. I'm sorry. How to lose a guy in 10 days when they're like fighting outside in the yellow dress. Well, you can't lose something you never had then. Because they never were in a real relationship. Right.

This is kind of giving that sort of vibe. I feel like I've been saying not just in today's episode but today's episode especially but like all week like saying vibe and energy so much and I absolutely have to stop. Like those are not real words. They have no real meaning. They have no substance and I just keep saying like that's the kind of energy we're giving. I sound like such like a stereotypical moron. I need to stop saying it. I 100% agree. I feel that way about myself all the time. And the question I always ask is like what word did we use before vibe or energy were introduced into the vernacular like five years ago? Like when –

Maybe we didn't. Maybe we were just speaking differently. Maybe we were saying different things and maybe we were saying something. But like if I went to a party and I didn't like – and the vibe was off, like what would I have said? Okay. How was – let's – okay. Ask't like the vibe was off, like what would I have said? Okay. How was, let's, okay. Ask me how the party was. How was the party?

Not so great. Why? I don't know. I just didn't feel like the. It's impossible. The ambiance was really my vibe. Right. No, it's.

It's hard. I always think about that, especially as it pertains to the word vibe because sometimes it's the only word for the job but it was only really introduced yeah like colloquially a few years ago so what the fuck did we say before I'm not entirely sure also I feel like on this podcast we are always trying to update our vernacular and like our vocabulary we're always learning new words acrimonious so you know at least we're doing both while we're also you know being dumb and saying vibe every other word we're also learning new words what's the word of the day let's let's go to Miriam Webster I got it okay also in the meantime maybe we could find a synonym

for vibe that we could introduce I just want to start like oh my god you're kidding me. Oh my god I'm by the way we're living in a simulation. We're living in a simulation. What's the word of the day? Acrimonious or Bryson? No. Okay tell me if you know why we're living in this emulation. Okay. The word of the day is ameliorate. We love the word ameliorate. I'm always talking about how the only SAT word that ever really penetrated my vocabulary was ameliorate. And that was because I had this app that gave you clues and ameliorate was about this girl Amelia who was I think like you know really unhappy in her life and she needed to ameliorate that and make it better. Ameliorate means to make something such as a problem better or more tolerable. So it sounds like you don't need the word of the day. You're kind of like

already on top of it. No this is like the most fruitless endeavor. I't need the word of the day. You're kind of like already on top of it. No, this is like the most fruitless endeavor. I came to the word of the day to learn a new word and it was the only word I actually know. It's the word you know. Well, then maybe that means you know like all the words. Don't you feel like that's crazy? Yeah, but that's – I've told the Amelia Rates story on the podcast before, I feel. I've heard it before and I don't think that's something we would talk about like offline.

No, we talk shit offline. Literally. We don't talk about the English language. We don't talk about SAT prep. Oh my God, I'm freaking. Okay, what were we talking about before we got here? Ariana. Ari.

So she has this new man. And you know what? I'm never going to, you know, defy. I can't fucking talk today. Defy gravity? I'm never going to defy. I can't fucking talk today. Defy gravity? I'm never going to justify or defend. I was going to say defy. I was going to say defend or justify, and I came out defy.

You know, unfaithfulness. Now, I know there are certain situations where people truly can't help themselves and love is blinding. I saw a picture of this man, and I just feel like she could have controlled herself yeah he's not that you know like tantalizing I just feel like it's when you're on a movie set especially away from home it's kind of like camp it's camp goggles and this is so true this is the hottest guy at camp that summer I'm sure you know it is a musical theater production there are limited straight men be that many heterosexual men oh my god I saw the funniest tweet it was like well good job guys we made

nepo baby such a big deal we could have had Ben Platt playing Bach and he's gay so like this never would have happened oh is that why he's not playing Bach I didn't feel like that's a good tweet Jackie it was like a joke and I definitely misquoted it, but like, okay. No, but he still could have played Bach. And why don't I remember Bach? I think he's the one who says, can I wear this hat to the party tonight? No, that's Fiero. Fiero, yeah, shit. Yeah, I don't remember a lot of like the male characters in Wicked,

because to me there's only Elphaba and Glinda. Yeah, but she does have the sister. The Wicked one. No, no, Elphaba has a sister, Nessa. El- oh, yeah. Oh, wait, Glinda's sister's the wicked witch? No. No.

No, wait, Glinda's- no, sorry, Elphaba is the wicked witch. Yeah, yeah. This is her origin story. Sorry, that was, like, so dumb of me. And so her sister is Nessa, and they're just, like, sissies. Oh, yeah, and her sister, like, doesn't have green skin. And, like, that's where she learns she's different. Yeah.

Sounds like he's kind of an irrelevant character. I can't believe he even had any scenes with Glinda. Yeah, I don't think this is going to be... The one. The one, by any means. Like, I think when filming wraps this wraps yeah except now filming's not going to wrap for a while because of the strike right right right whereas they were almost done filming yeah I read somewhere that they were 10 days away from being done yeah so

now they're probably like holed up together waiting out the strike so true the strike is another okay this is another rom-com coming out of the strike like it's like love affair she was able to ward off temptation like the whole time they're filming the movie and she's like 10 more days like and then and same for him like he's like I'm not gonna look at Ari and my head's not gonna turn for Ari I have 10 more days and then the strike goes into effect and then they like maybe maybe for some reason they have to get to like closer quarters you know because like budgets are cutting so they have to get to like closer quarters, you know, because like budgets are cutting. So they have to like share.

Yeah, yeah. Hotels are being slashed. Yeah. So they have to like share a room or like they have an enjoyment, something. Okay. I just want to say back to like actual real life. I don't think that this news could have come at a worse time for Ethan Slater because like he can't, you know, escape at work. He has to be home all the time.

He's not allowed to work. And his wife just found out about this affair and like presumably they were living together. You don't think he's still in London? I'm sure she came with him. It's a long time and like they're a family. That's true. And they're not like that famous. Like when you're such a major celebrity and like your partner goes abroad for a few weeks like you're used to it and you have your own projects. But I feel like she probably came with him. I don't know. It depends. Maybe she has stuff going on at home. projects but I feel like she probably came with him I don't know it depends maybe she has stuff going on at home maybe maybe she can't take off work maybe I don't think I don't think she's there I don't think Ari would do it under her nose oh but Dumas sorry Dumas had said that she that Ari

had spent time with them so meaning she was there maybe she might have visited set maybe maybe when she heard about the strike she was was like, oh, you're in London? We can get some time off in London together. Wimbledon. Right. Wimbledon. Okay, well, we'll keep you posted, but Ari's got a new man. And I feel like, you know, on the heels of Jonah Hill and Ariana Grande,

this is not a good month for normies. For normies. Yeah yeah two failed celebrity normie relationships yeah but we also could cite two failed celebrity celebrity relationships like our next story but we know that but we know that you know I think it's just relationships you know the statistic 50 of marriages don't work out so true so 50 of your ships are gonna sink so true and that's just a risk you take when you're a shipbuilder. It's such it's such a kind of high risk job. Our next story is a report that apparently Joe Manganiello's intense desire to have kids led to his divorce from Sofia

Vergara. So page six is reporting that Joe Manganiello chose to end his seven-year marriage because they disagreed on the topic of children. A source close to Joe tells us he's always wanted to be a dad and that those feelings have only intensified in recent years. He's 46, Sofia's 51. It's unclear where she stood on the subject when the two said I do in November 2015, but we're told she may have been open to it at the time she already is a mom to her 31 year old son manolo who she shares with her ex-husband joe gonzalez and as we know she was dragged into a lengthy court battle over custody of two frozen embryos from her 2013 ivf treatments with then fiance nick lobe who sought to bring them to term

and though the judge ultimately ruled in Sophia's favor, the experience might have had an effect on her views about having kids. I don't know if I like 100% believe this because I really feel before you enter into a marriage, especially after dating for a long time, you're really on the same page when it comes to kids. And of course people can change their minds. I don't know.

I don't know either. This doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. Oh, I'm sorry. Also, this is going to sound mean, but I think it's just facts. Like, I also don't think you can really change your mind when you've decided to marry someone who's 51. Like, biology is real. You know, at some point women stop, you know, being fertile. Right.

Well, when they got married, I guess she was like 44. Which is still, like, at the very end of a biological clock. It's like if you do want to have kids when you get married, that's something you should say. Because maybe like then you would start something. But to be with someone who's 51 and then be disappointed that you're not having kids, like that just seems kind of unfair. And I agree with you that I don't necessarily believe that this is the reason. But I mean it's possible that when they got married he was like fine not having kids. Yeah.

Because he's like, you you know 46 now too. But maybe one day you wake up and you're like I want kids. Of course. No and by the way we'll know if this ends up being true if Joe Manganiello's next girlfriend's really young. Like if having kids is so important to him he'll date someone in like late 20s early 30s because those are your prime years. Yeah. And if he winds up having a kid kid oh excuse me prime fertility years I'm not who was Don Lemon literally said women are in their prime when they're in their 30s sorry that's not what I meant not me getting

canceled because I literally just said what Don Lemon said I meant childbearing prime excuse me yeah yeah oh my god I'm literally burying myself. Change the subject. Okay, our next story. A little update on Gram Gate. TMZ reports that Raquel gave up her dog to a shelter before the dog went to James. So James had posted some photos with Gram that we reported yesterday. The dog he once shared with Raquel,

claiming he's back with the pup for good. Sources with direct knowledge told TMZ that James found out through a mutual friend that Raquel was trying to find a new home for Graham. She didn't connect with him directly. By the way, oh, sorry. Then it was a source said that Graham was recently dropped off at a shelter and was having behavioral issues, mostly a biting problem. The Vanderpump Dog Foundation got alerted to Graham's situation and worked out the reunion with James and his pooch. The source says James has took the dog in training classes and they've seen to work. They're told James is very happy to have Graham back.

Yeah, I heard that like Lisa, well heard, I mean I read, Lisa was really integral in facilitating the reunion. The reunion, which is great that Vanderpump Dogs like got alerted to it and people are really mad at Raquel for just you know it should be your absolute like last lap like you are dying and there's no like shelters really supposed to be a last resort especially for a dog that's like domesticated that's been in a you know in a family for so long to just be dropped off at a shelter. It's like so scary. People are really mad at Raquel,

especially because I am sure if she just, even she didn't have to reach out to James, have somebody reach out to James and be like, I can't do this anymore. I'm sure Raquel's mental health is a huge factor in this. I don't know if I necessarily believe the biting thing. I think that's just what people say to be like, to take, oh, I can't have him in my house, he's biting.

And there are dogs who bite, of course, but I don't feel like that was this sort of situation um people are really mad at Raquel because she could have just had you know I don't know who's on her side but like literally anyone just take the dog and be like James please I feel like sadness for Raquel and initially I was like I don't blame her for not being able to take care of the dog she probably can't even take care of herself um so I don't want to like judge her so too harshly because I feel like what she's going through is unimaginable especially given the fact that she's had you know weeks of treatment I just really like you know I'm glad James got the dog but damn I'm glad James got the dog I don't

know that this is the whole story it's not making sense to me and I want to reserve judgment until I don't know if we'll ever get the whole story I think she would have to like be on the show you know no one on the Vanderpump camp is gonna like take the time to vouch to share you know what really happened but it's like reminding me obviously of Lucy Lucy apple juice where it's like you first heard like Dorit's dog wound up at a shelter and you're like oh my god but then when you hear what actually happened how she like rehomed it to a person and did everything that she could because she couldn't keep the dog in her home with her kids in the biting well that's the other thing Dorit had kids so I think people were a little bit you know less quick to judge because when you do have a dog who bites it's more of a big deal when you have tiny kids running around who can't

you know critically think and defend themselves. Right, but you don't know that, like, Raquel didn't give Graham to her sister who has kids. Right. Like, I just feel like there's more to the story. Fair, fair. It doesn't make sense. It just doesn't make enough sense to me. I feel like there's pieces missing.

So I am not going to judge based on just this. That is completely fair. And you know what? Probably a good point and it's not fair it's not fair to be like I'm gonna believe this story and I actually don't believe the biting part oh my god so true you know not me being selective right right so I I'm gonna wait and see but I don't know when like does she even have you go on Instagram anymore like where she ever will share her truths. If she gets on the show I'm sure it'll be a plot line.

Yeah. I'm sure they'll talk about it even if she's not on the show. James will you know there's a huge update on his life. And Graham has been you know my puppy party. Like Graham has been a character on the show. So I'm sure it'll be a storyline. Whether or not we get Raquel's side remains to be seen. Yeah. And I just wonder how they knew it was Graham.

Yes., Chip. The Chip has, like, Graham Levis on it? I don't know what the Chip, you know, most dogs who are, like, domesticated and live as pets are Chipped. I don't know what information exactly the Chip gives. Actually, yes, I do, because I filled it out. It gives, like, contact info, owners. Yeah, it does.

Oh, okay, cool. Well, that's great that the Vanderpump Dog Foundation was able to liaise. Yes. And find... Not a single dog in the West Hollywood area gets rehomed without Vanderpump Dogs being alerted. Literally. It's good. Yeah, they're doing good work over there.

same person but once you get to know them they're so different yeah so personal that and also we were saying the other day that you are actually really similar to Bruno in personality wise and I am very similar to Theo yes kind of wise um you know more soft-spoken like doesn't say everything but when he speaks it's real nuggets and Bruno and I we just say whatever we think every now and then we're right about something but mostly it's just a bunch of crap just a bunch of barking no and like that Bruno needs to be the center of attention like he yes what was that what's that like song or movie or maybe it's just like a myth where like that person who doesn't get enough attention like will die boy you cried wolf no person who doesn't get enough attention will die.

I have literally no idea. Maybe it's like an SNL skit. That's what it sounds like. No, it sounds like, you know, like a myth, like a folklore. Urban legend. I know what you're saying. Urban legend, yeah. Are you sure it's not The Boy Who Cried Wolf?

No, no. Oh, my God. I have no idea. This is not a good Google search. I'm going to get no. Oh my God. I have no idea. This is, um, this is not a good Google search. I'm going to get away. Oh, no. Literally the government monitoring you. Yeah. Um, so anyways, that's just some fun facts about us, which I think makes sense.

Like that's why you're always with like your canine me and I'm always with canine you. So true. Are you ready for our next story? You could say that me and Bruno have the same energy and you and Theo have the same vibe. And that all together we have a great ambiance. You could. And that we're constantly ameliorating each other's lives. Bad vibes.

Yep. Ameliorate bad vibes. Make them good. make them good make them good our next story is some sad news Tony Bennett has died at the age of 96 in his hometown of New York the legendary pop jazz and big band vocalist has died after a seven-year battle with Alzheimer's he was 96 his publicist confirmed his death revealing that he passed away in his hometown of New York his official cause of death has not been announced yet I don't think you need an official cause of death when somebody's 96 um it's you know this Alzheimer's is such a sad thing for your family

to to watch but to have made it to 96 and to have such an illustrious career and like honestly like huge peaks in your career in your 80s is so impressive and while this is such a sad way for someone to go out he really leaves behind like such an amazing career and amazing legacy so I think you know his life is worth celebrating yes totally he's won 20 Grammys I feel like recently he's been introduced younger audiences he like collabed with Lady Gaga very often um and he's just a supreme talent it was just so crazy you know when he was with Lady Gaga and everything because he's from like the Dean Martin era like really Frank Sinatra and those are people who feel like so long ago and who haven't been

alive for a while so he really was this like bridge of many generations yeah he made history as one of the only artists to chart new albums in the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s 2000s 2010s and 20s. That's so crazy. That is so crazy. Um I think so. Let me look. But also I didn't really realize like how far back he went. I didn't know. Yes he has four kids. I didn't know he was 96 either. Like he was such a p-john. Like so cute. He has four kids. I'm sure you know it's a very tough time for them. but I'm wishing them well. Wishing them well. That's so crazy. Are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Yes. Someone's living Turdy's dream. Who? They just won. Who? Who? They just won $1 billion Powerball jackpot in the heart of downtown LA in the shadow of poverty

and despair of Skid Row someone has just won a billion dollars um yeah I think this is um of course big news because you know the Powerball every time it reaches the bills is always a big deal but for the ticket to a bought been bought like right on the edges of skid row is so what's the word I'm looking for it's like a dichotomy dichotomous you love dichotomy I do love dichotomy but it's such a stark stark and really highlights the poverty issue in this country yeah has the person come forward to claim the ticket I don't I don't believe yet and I want to say something because I am happy of course if it can't be me and let it be someone, you know, who deserves it. But I'm happy that, you know, this particular community is where the Powerball ticket was purchased. But

don't you feel like it's always in California? Yeah, I do feel that way. And is that because California is technically the biggest state population wise? believe it is yeah like so their odds are higher but still it is it does beg the question now maybe California just has like a culture of people who love lottery tickets you know by the way California is the biggest state ranked by population they have 39 million people as of I believe 2023 Texas is next with 30 million Florida 22 million New York 19 million yeah but still it does feel like it's always California it does right and yes population wise it would make sense for them to be you know having them like the most Powerball winners but not every time yeah it's giving kind of like that Monopoly documentary vibe. Oh, should we look into this?

What was that called? McMillions. That was a good documentary. Yeah, it was. Frustrating. Frustrating, but good. It was really unbelievable. It was unbelievable.

And it also felt like a victimless crime because McDonald's was the one who. But then there was a lot of like inter inter crime between all the different criminals the actual victims were the people they were setting up to win oh yeah they like they literally were paying money for the rest of their lives like it yeah put them in debt and not in the same way that like a lot of lottery winners go into debt like from overspending but because like you know the big guys upstairs like no no no the people who just like chose them to win they the the corrupt people at mcdonald's or mcdonald's third party agency they said you'll win this money but you need to pay us every single like we want our cut yeah and they and like after everything they there was no money to be given

got it well I can't wait to hear the story of the person who won this I hope it wasn't like you know uh you know a California businessman just driving through town you know yeah I want to know who won it oh what's also really funny is recently someone won I think a billion dollars and he's been like in the news a lot like we reported the house that he bought in LA like you become like a star yeah he's living the life yeah he like bought a house like in a really celebrity like I think he bought the house next to the weekend like a very star-studded neighborhood yeah and I think if I recall correctly we commended him for spending his money exactly how we would spend it yeah he's been living well I think he told everyone like don't call me't text me. I don't know you guys anymore.

If you're from my former life, we don't see each other. I won't be picking up the phone. Hilarious. He needs a reality show. I am sure he's, you know, producing his own. Yeah. So I don't believe they have to release the identity of the person who wins. I think more often than not people want to because with that kind of attention comes, you know, fame and opportunity and interviews

and that's exciting for someone. It's entirely possible we won't find out who this is, but I would love to hear their story. Yeah, me too. And I'm happy for them. I really am. I'm also happy for the IRS who just made $400 million. More, no?

I think I read on Twitter today it was like $450. Oh, cool. Spend it wisely. Yeah yeah don't spend it all in one place well those are the fast five stories and I feel so you need to know them before you embark on your fabulous weekend other people and for Claudia before you embark on what I hope to be an extremely treacherous and enjoyable weekend I'll do my absolute best to have the absolute worst time just for you I can't like should I watch your guys's stories honestly no like maybe you should you want me to block you no that hurts more because now it's like oh you're mad at me okay you want to block me no I have I can exercise my free will restraint and yes I'm a very restrained person I'm just I need to decide what's going to be like best for my mental health maybe watching a Luke Holmes concert like vicariously on Instagram is

going to be good for me so I am going to two shows and I feel like one of them I'm going to post so everyone can see like what's going on and the other I'm just going to truly enjoy I feel like that's such a luxury to be able to go to two I feel like that actually hurts more if you're like not posting oh because she's having too much fun. She's not even posting. That's so true. Yeah, actually. I'll post a lot so you think I'm having a bad time. Yeah, because I could be like, she's not even present.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll be so not present. You have to laugh or you'll cry. I know. I'm not really a FOMO person, but this hurts. It's tough. This is tough. But you know what?

I'll look at the bright side. I don't have to make the road trip. I don't have to drive with you. Oh, and Ben can't come. So, like, I'm driving. I hate driving long distances. Like, it's my least favorite thing. But you're going to split it with Emily.
