Good morning, Millennials!
Welcome back to The Toast, and happy Monday!
I know it's dreadful, but there's so much that needs to be discussed.
Like, don't even worry about it, okay?
It takes the dread out of Monday, because I just, there's so much to say.
So much has been unfolding over the weekend.
Aside from all the drama, the Vanity Promenade rules drama,
like, so much content this weekend.
Like, I feel like I'm all caught up on pop culture,
which is not a feeling I feel very often these days.
So I just have a lot to say.
Yeah, there's so much to discuss.
Of course, Pump Rules, major bombshell on a Friday afternoon.
And you know, like the way, you know, this is a big deal because it was a Friday afternoon.
Like people don't care about stuff.
If you're looking to bury a piece of news,
you release it on a Friday afternoon.
The way it has carried through, it is everywhere.
Twitter, like people who don't know.
It's kind of like, remember when like two months ago,
the Try Guys had the like big drama
and everyone was talking about it.
And we're like, what the fuck is the Try Guys?
That's happening for people who don't know
about Vanderpump Rules.
Yeah, because this is one of the craziest things
that could have happened in the Vanderpump Rules universe.
In reality TV period, honestly.
Yeah.
And things keep coming out.
So like even this morning, there's like new news.
And there's just so many layers to this.
And everybody has an opinion.
There's so many cast members.
It's just you could go on and on and on.
And everyone's getting involved.
Nobody's staying silent except for Raquel.
Yeah. We'll talk about everyone's getting involved. Nobody's staying silent except for Raquel. Yeah. We'll talk about everyone's getting involved. Nobody's staying silent.
Sure. We'll talk. I'm also all just caught up on Vanderpump Rules. I figured, you know,
I need to get back on track because shit's about to pop off. Apparently they were filming.
Yeah. So Zach and I watched Vanderpump Rules Friday night after the news dropped and we've
been keeping up and I should have watched that episode last week but I didn't and the way I literally could not even
watch the show I was so blinded by what had happened like everything Raquel did I was like
how dare she like literally it was so crazy to watch it knowing what we know it's almost
frustrating because everything we're seeing yeah it's like cool to like look for now what we know it's almost frustrating because everything we're seeing yeah it's like
cool to like look for now that we know look for clues but it's annoying like what's going on no
I need a live stream right now what's so crazy is I was looking at the dates so they said they've
been having an affair for seven months which would mean it started in July 2022 the Schwartz and
Sandy's daily mail party was in July of 2022 so like the affair is starting to happen and Sandy's Daily Mail Party was in July of 2022. So like the affair is starting to happen
and it's crazy to watch people lying.
This whole like Schwartz kissing thing
is complete decoy.
And you're just like watching everyone lie.
And so if it was completely irrelevant
and they didn't even have started anything,
like I would say, yeah, like let's catch up.
But I find this fascinating. I thought we were like a few months out honestly so that's super interesting thank you for sharing Jackie and I are going to be breaking down the
entire saga um as one of the stories we're also going to be talking about Chris Rock's new special
which live streamed on Netflix which was pretty cool I watched it not live um I watched it live
I was a part of something no that's exciting I was a part
of something we waited we turned on early Leslie Jones was doing stand I saw and then we watched
live and it was there was so much to discuss it's a story we're going to talk about the biggest
bombshells and our overall thoughts great um SNL was also on it was a big weekend for the Kelsey's Travis Jason and Kelsey um I have to say
it was a really really really like atrocious episode like maybe one of the worst in terms
of writing I Travis there was like a few funny moments like Travis um as an American girl dad
like single doll dad like that was funny and cute and he had some good lines I thought Heidi Gardner did a really actually hysterical job in the sketch where she runs into her boyfriend in the bar and
then Jason Kelsey saved that sketch the show was positively dreadful and I only watch SNL when
there's someone that I want to see and every single time I come away with the same thought like
this is the greatest comedic minds in America. Like, aren't we embarrassed?
Like I found that to be embarrassing that that's what passes for comedy.
Yeah.
There were a few sketches that like,
didn't make me clench my butt cheeks and cringe straight male,
straight male friend.
Hilarious.
I don't know about hilarious,
but it was,
it was,
it was executed well.
And I have to say,
Travis Kelsey did a really good job of being like an actor and the lines and and the delivery and
and not losing focus like I was very impressed by him as a host I thought he did a really good
job in the sketches that were terrible same and in his opening monologue he did say this wasn't
his first time hosting a show I love that he referenced Catching Kelsey and they like showed
us a clip I can't believe they showed us a clip I know no and it makes sense because NBC is Peacock
whatever um obsessed like obsessed beyond belief we're all thinking it and now he finally said it
and it's just it's a joy to to be to be seen like that no I I just can't believe that like
Catching Kelsey was referenced on SNL. Cause it's such,
even when he said like,
it's owned by NBC universal.
So it should be on Peacock,
but they said,
they said,
nah,
I wish they're missing out.
They're missing out.
I wish they did a little bit more with his family.
Like Jason and his mom were in the opening monologue.
And then Jason had a one second thing in the,
in the sketch.
I wish they kind of leaned on them more.
I don't know whose choice that was,
but okay, like give us more.
I feel like maybe it was because Jason
like couldn't get up to New York
until maybe the last minute.
So they weren't gonna like give him lines and stuff.
And he was a pro.
Honestly, when he went in that sketch,
I was like, he's a good actor.
Like I felt like I was watching, you know, a sketch.
It was a real sketch.
Yeah.
It was so good when that moment happened.
The rest was so terrible.
Yeah.
I can't, like, it was really horrible television.
Yeah.
I was in shock.
Yeah.
Me and Ben were like shocked.
And I was so ready.
Like I have a low bar.
If I'm excited, I'm so excited about Kelsey Ballerini.
I was so excited about Travis Kelsey.
Like my bar was low for me to like it and so for me to me and Ben both walk
away be like wow that was really not funny it was it must have been really bad no it was painful
and embarrassing and we got so much behind the scenes content of Chase and Kelsey like Chase
was there the whole time and they were hanging out with Travis and it was Stokes oh I didn't see anything oh he
was posting like a ton of photos where on his Instagram yeah like so proud of you my love
on his stories yes damn I don't follow him and I actually just was on his Instagram
in the feed checking stuff out and it probably was in the stories and I missed it stories and
Kelsey posted some pics of them and she made some TikToks because he was like there the whole
weekend like for rehearsals and stuff it was really cute that's insane that they're so I missed it. Stories. And Kelsey posted some pics of them. And she made some TikToks. Because he was like there the whole weekend.
Like for rehearsals and stuff.
It was really cute.
That's insane that they're so serious and public.
No.
It's crazy.
Also we were wrong. She performed two songs from Rolling Up the Welcome Mat.
She did Blindsided and Penthouse.
She sounded really good vocally on Penthouse.
Like she.
Because she has been playing that song live.
That's not the first time she's played it live.
On her tour in the UK this last week,
she played it at every single show.
So she's had like good practice
and she's worked on like some new,
some new runs and some new riffs
and it sounded really good.
And then Blindsided was the first time she had ever played it.
She added that new verse at the end,
which was clearly like direct to organ.
You said you would have searched the whole world over yeah right okay
and that line in his song is when we talked about his song on the show like two weeks ago I said I
was saying how I thought his song was sweet like I would have searched the whole world over for you
and I'd be a shoulder for you and you said yeah sure okay yeah like well we just found out that
you didn't know and I, but you didn't.
But you didn't.
And that was the message from her verse.
And I enjoyed that very much.
I did too.
She sounded amazing.
She looked amazing.
I like that she tried to do Blindsided as like a pop moment
and then have her like serious piano ballad.
I Stand By Those Are Not The Songs I Would Have Chosen.
I really wish she did something from Heart First.
Like the world will, like, I get it. Like I get heart first. Like the world will, like I get it.
Like I get the choice.
Like the EP is having this moment.
You're right.
It's like this very grassroots Olivia Rodrigo thing.
So people are tuning in for the EP,
but those people who are tuning in are just bandwagoners.
Like they don't even know the magic.
Those people who are tuning in for Kelsey love Kelsey.
Like I love Kelsey.
I'll listen to any song she performs and I'm going to love it.
But I just feel like.
No, I disagree.
Like all the hoopla, people who didn't know who she was like they're here for the EP like the EP is
connecting with so many people they don't even know yeah like they don't even know the great hits
prior to this has the EP really won her that many new fans musically I think so I think so especially
then with call her daddy yeah yeah no I understand like publicly like in
the like as a personality that with the Call Her Daddy and the drama and the divorce like people
now are talking more about her but musically I think so I really do especially like from what
I've seen on TikTok like people who have never really ventured into country and certainly people
who might not have known who she was but who resonate with you know either divorce or breaking
up or whatever it's speaking to a lot of people so I get the decision it was a good strategy no and I would have been happy with
two songs off of rolling up the welcome mat that were a different two like even well uh what's the
first one mountain with a view mountain with a view and the last one lose me again yeah no penthouse
oh oh okay yeah I just like I am so I'm still so in my subject to change era. Like I feel it's so good.
Like it's, and for people to have really heard that,
like I feel like that's so Kelsey and that's really her general genre.
This EP is, it's not really always what she,
the type of stuff she puts out.
So I would have loved to have seen like Heart First,
Little Things, If You Go Down, something.
Just like a bigger song.
I wanted a bigger song. Yeah, I yeah I agree like and a really Kelsey song but she she sounded amazing
you could tell she was singing live like she hit like every note she has a beautiful voice
I loved her look that's what you get when you dive into country like you're not going to get
some flop who doesn't know how to sing and is going to like have background vocals that you
can't even hear their voice because like they're not as good live you're never going to get that with country and
that's why I stand country music like they never they never disappoint and turdy Lou it's not
surface lyrics certainly not surface lyrics and I think Ben would say the same I think he would
say the same I think he has said the same I can tell you for a fact that he has. So it was just like a big content weekend.
Yeah.
Other than that, how was your weekend on a personal, social level?
It was great.
I read a lot.
I did.
What are you reading?
I finished yesterday in just a matter of hours that thriller that's all over my Goodreads,
The Perfect Marriage.
You've probably seen the cover.
Two rings and a lot of blood.
Excellent. Really, I tore through it. Gave it four the cover, Two Rings and A Lot of Blood. Excellent.
Really, I tore through it, gave it four out of five stars.
I'll add it to my list.
Kept me on the edge of my seat.
They did not tell you what you wanted to know
to literally the bitter end.
That's annoying.
I would have given it five stars, but the ending, I don't know.
I wouldn't have chosen that person to be the murderer, you know?
Ooh.
It felt like a little me little um but it was a great
book and it really it held my attention all day I couldn't put it down so that was great I also
read Mile High which is like a series of books that everyone said I would really like and I
didn't really like it so I'm not going to read the second series but then that always happens
people are like the second is so much better so then you're like all right then you get sucked
in but I I read it it wasn't my favorite and I'm moving on when is the second so much better so then you're like all right then you get sucked in but I I read it it
wasn't my favorite and I'm moving on when is the second so much better that's a good question
Ted 2 is a real contender not oh no no no but it's but Ted 2 is just as good no not just as good
it's good it's really really really good Ted 1 is masterful masterpiece yeah no the next on my list
Descendants 2 is really good I would say
hmm wait I got one High School Musical 3 3 always 1 and 3 are good except in Descendants
it's 1 and 2 and 3 is horrible Twilight New Moon second is probably my least favorite Hangover 1
and 3 are good it's the curse of the second film
but there was something perfect there was something recently where like the second
was kind of better than the first that we were just talking about I don't know if we'll be able to
grasp it was it pitch perfect no I don't even know oh my god two was so bad they were like at camp and
like it was horrible at camp yeah I think they were at like acapella camp i
just remember like rebel wilson on a lake make it stop oh and then they went to the international
three we bring it back that was three oh okay okay because that one was excellent with the
hailey steinfeld um just saying if anyone can remember a two that was almost better than the
one we were just saying yeah well no your theory stands correct even with
bring it on bring it on sequel what was the second one because the third one was Solange and Hayden
Panettiere which is no that wasn't I don't think that was the third one I think there were a lot
but the second one was with it was in college it was some girl named like Winifred.
It's always a Winifred.
Okay, so you're saying Solange is not the second.
No.
Because that one's so good.
But those aren't sequels.
Those are just like remakes.
Spin-offs.
You're right.
Bring It On is kind of its own caliber of film trilogy.
Yeah, you can't compare.
All right.
Well, I guess we'll never know.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Yes. Yes, the second is excellent you know what the second is really it's not just as good but it's excellent yeah yeah okay well that's also like they didn't run into a sequel there was this like
this grassroots organic movement begging for 10 years give give us a sequel. So it really, I feel like sometimes they give a sequel and it's like, well, nobody really asked.
Yeah.
But not with Greek Wedding.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I feel like we have so much business to handle today that we should really dive.
Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry.
How was your weekend?
Thank you, Turdy Lou.
It was great.
It was low key.
Lots of family time.
I sliced my fingers open, trying to cut up some cheese.
And it was really nice other than the slicing.
Just great times with Harry, Liz.
And Harry was like what?
Saying what about me?
Like, don't hold back.
Just tell me everything.
Oh, he was just saying like, Antiquaia would love this.
Antiquaia should be here.
Where's Antiquaia?
And I just kind of had to redirect him because I didn't want him to focus on what's not here you know right he was probably like wow I could really
use a song right now yeah he he needed he needs a lot of songs to get through the day and what
about Preggio how you feeling I'm feeling good thank you so much better like in this trimester
in this season like still fatigued but way like night and day so just trying to do everything
I can in the hours where I have energy and um what was my follow-up question it was kind of a good
one oh does it also just feel so much better like now that people know like like you can like wear
a shirt that's like whatever you know yeah yeah not so much for wear a shirt but um just so
that like I can just be honest about like how I'm feeling like if I were to say if you were saying

Thank you, Claudia.
You're welcome, Jackie.
Our first story, we'll start from the beginning of the news.
Friday afternoon, TMZ reported that Tom Sandoval and Ariana Maddox
called it quits amid allegations that he cheated with co-star Raquel Levis.
Show sources told TMZ Ariana found out about the alleged cheating
in the last couple of days to last week and ended things with Tom shortly thereafter.
They're told producers got word of what went down and made the decision to fire up the cameras with
the entire cast to document the fallout in the coming days and the hope is they'll be able to
get it into the season currently airing yes so they weren't filming anymore because the season's
airing but they got cameras in there so I'm sure the season will end and then it will be like
four months later everyone's doing interviews they're filming people's conversations what's interesting TMZ says is that Ariana was
with Tom as recently as Wednesday to celebrate the release of his new single and perform with
his band however sources close to Tom tell TMZ the two of them have been on the outs for some
time now so I think there was rockiness in their relationship but to have a seven month affair with someone's best friend is you know beyond rockiness yeah uh so the way it went down
from what I understand and like literally I feel like because there are so many cast members who
actually know what happened like they're just telling every anyone who will listen so after
Tom's show Wednesday night he had a Tom than the most extra show which I have to talk about yeah uh
Raquel saw a text pop up I mean Ariana saw a text pop up from Raquel on Tom's phone and it was a
video of Raquel very sexual in nature and then she started scrolling through text and saw more
inappropriate things and confronted Tom and found out they've been having a seven month affair um Raquel had just done
watch what happens live with Sheena Sheena found out about it and apparently slapped Raquel in the
face and is no longer speaking with Raquel well I have to say one of my initial thoughts when
catching up on the season was like my god did Sheena plant her flag in the wrong friend
yeah like she's really writing like making enemies out of everyone just to like support Raquel Sheena is horrible this season but this episode
like that's a separate conversation this episode is not about Sheena um but she's horrible so
I feel like for me this would have blown up anyway but the second the TMZ article came out
James Kennedy posted a screenshot of the article which made it on his because when I first saw this I was like there's no way that's true like
or no way no but when James posted it it said this is true and then everyone else started getting in
so for me like James really blew it up um and I I felt so many emotions I mean first like I not to
make everything about me like I felt so vindicated because I mean, first, like, not to make everything about me, like, I felt so vindicated because
I feel like for years, like, there have been, like, you know, a decent amount of people
who are obsessed with Tom Sandoval.
And, like, I've just known from, like, I just know, like, I can fucking read people.
Like, I knew this man was fucking horrendous.
And to watch his, like, midlife crisis with his stupid band like sorry you can't sing to watch
this and just watch how over the last years he has really been horrible to Katie to Tom to Stassi
to Jax and I know like nobody feels bad for Stassi and Jax but it's important in the context of like
the history here um I hate this man I know this man is evil and I now have motherfucking proven everybody sees what I've been seeing
for years.
I mean, we've been saying this and I think a lot of people feel vindicated.
Like I know a lot of people feel vindicated like, cause they have said like not trusted
Tom over the years.
You know, Lala feels very vindicated that she never really liked Raquel.
Um, I always thought Tom was like extremely cringe and self-centered and narcissistic and.
Like obsessed with the show and the fame, like to an end to a point of delusion, like starting a band.
This cheating on your girlfriend of 10 years with one of her best friends and have not just like we were drunk and we hooked up.
A seven month affair is fucking diabolical.
It is.
But when you really look into it it's really not
Tom Sandoval was with Kristen for eight years and I know they claim that everything they did was like
you know kosher but like I think we all know it wasn't I'm not convinced it wasn't I kind of am
I think like everyone is like just kind of come to terms with it and it was like okay whatever but
they're together and in love now and they're like not married but they're in this partnership they have a house like you know what
we all move on like even Kristen yeah I don't but even if there were some moments of like
impropriety I Kristen and Ariana were not friends like this is I think the same group there were a
couple moments of like maybe kissing or something but not no I mean this is next level like Ariana and Raquel being best best friends and it being a full-on affair yeah I honestly it's so crazy but I do think like how
you get them is how you lose them sort of thing and I'm not in any way like blaming Ariana by any
means but I wasn't like once I sat down and thought about it like I wasn't that shocked
honestly the real shocking part is the Raquel of it all. Not only would Tom choose a girl who's so close with his girlfriend,
but how Raquel could go the last seven months,
being so up Ariana's ass, going to all these things with Tom and Ariana.
We thought she was going for Ariana, but she was going for Tom.
That's a diabolical level, especially because what we've seen
over the last few years with Raquel on the show is like she's kind of this like spineless mute.
Like she doesn't really defend herself.
She's kind of quiet.
She remember she cried last year because she couldn't even make a toast in front of a bunch
of people.
Like it's just she's not the type of girl you would expect this behavior from.
No, I don't know who she is.
Like one, the Raquel we're seeing this season is different from Raquel's of the past, but
we just
you know attributed it to her like coming out of her shell maybe making some mistakes along the way
she's obviously drinking a lot so maybe having you know a rough night here or there but like
a seven month affair is beyond you know getting a little too drunk I don't understand this person
I don't know this person how could you't know this person. How could you do something like this?
How could anyone do something like this to a friend,
let alone someone who's like brand,
for lack of a better word,
is like being nice and shy and sweet.
Yeah, it's so crazy.
All the castmates have spoken out.
I said this to you like two weeks ago,
like Raquel is going to save the show.
And when I said it,
I didn't even know what she was up to. But she has become the to save the show. And when I said it, I didn't even know what she was up to.
But she has become the center of the show.
And now in a huge way.
And I know that these are people's lives.
But in terms of the show, like this is,
people said the show would never be the same without like Jax and Stassi.
All the drama from season one, the smacking, Kristen and Jax.
This is pump 2.0 like I never expected it
for me the show was on its way out like it would even though the season is good and their stuff
the show was slowly dying this has breathed a new life into the franchise like everyone
really should be thanking Tom and Raquel because so many people have started watching Vanderpump
Rules this weekend like we've never even watched
a single episode. And people who watched for years but took time off know who Raquel and Tom
Sandville and Ariana are they're back in and they're watching this season now and the people
who have been watching like me who I I've I've just associated like I don't need all the drama
in order for me to like it I just like some of the people but now I'm like oh my god it's top
of mind so in that
from an entertainment value perspective like they have saved the show 100% and also like for all the
cast members who are so mad at Tom and Raquel like they can't stop talking about it and they're you
know going on Instagram stories and they're popping off and everyone it's so weird how everyone feels
the need to post team Ariana it's like there's no other team to be on no literally and I feel like
I actually have had like a unique relationship with Ariana in terms of my I really have never
fully like loved her just because she's with Tom Sandoval like I have a deep hatred and I don't
really understand how anyone could like him but now that not only is she not with him she probably
fucking hates him I feel like I'm about to build this ship so big
for just Ariana like I feel I feel ready to stand like I've never stand before I think that's how
everyone feels both in the cast and outside of the cast and she's always been like a really great
level-headed character within the show always weird to us that she was with Tom and could be
with Tom but and defend Tom that's always like her fatal flaw yeah but she
also then in private is like Tom yeah yeah which I always respect she's not like up his butt so
yes so true I think this people are like those sorts of like feelings of loyalty towards someone
and just like riding for them that's what engenders no but like a really good show to have such strong
like feelings of you want to see this person succeed.
So now everyone's like buying up her ready to make cocktails and everyone's trying to like, you know, throw their money in support of Ariana boycotting Tom Tom and Schwartz and Sandy's.
Well, so that brings me to Tom Sandoval.
I have it right here.
Oh, Tom Sandoval was silent on the matter
for, you know, 24, 48 hours.
And then he put out a note that he wrote saying,
hey, I fully understand and deserve your anger
and disappointment towards me,
but please leave Schwartz, my friends and family
out of this situation.
Schwartz specifically only found out
about this very recently
and most definitely did not condone my actions.
This was a very personal thing.
Also Schwartz and Sandy's might have my name on it but also there are three other partners and 20 employees
who especially rely on the restaurant for income from them and their families. Just like Tom Tom
I'm a small part of a much bigger thing. Please direct your anger towards me and not them. They
did nothing wrong. I'm so sorry that my partners Greg, Brett and Schwartz and our employees have
to suffer for my actions. I will be taking a step back in a hiatus out of respect for my employees and partners. I need some time to address everything else. Sorry
for everything. Okay. So like, tell me all you care about his money without telling me all you
care about his money. Like he didn't apologize to Ariana, to his friends. Like he just apologized
and was like, but please like, don't take it out on my stupid fucking restaurant with the terrible
name. Yeah. It's weird that this statement's not going to change anything for the people who are
insistent on boycotting his businesses.
But it's like when you're a public figure, you get the success of your business because of your public persona.
Like and they're all there for you when times are good.
Like if they're in your boat, they're in your boat when it sinks too.
Yeah, no, it's kind of delusional.
I do feel bad for that guy, Greg, who's clearly like an actual businessman with experience and knowledge because he was on the Schwartz and Sandy's Instagram responding to comments fighting
for his life. Like, I feel bad for him because he put, you know, so much of his time, money and
energy into two fucking morons. And this, you know, when the pendulum swings high, it swings
high. You know, Daily Mail Party, everyone wants to be at our thing. We don't need to run any ads
and people will be lining out the door. But when the pendulum swings the other way, you know, when your whole brand is, like you said,
build off your public persona, you have to be able to withstand that too, because that's
the business you're in. Right. And when you make decisions in your personal life, like you have to
know that they can affect your business because when your business is your personal life. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. The statement was trash. And like, trust me, I get it.
Like, I'm a business person too.
Like, one of my major concerns at this time would be this business I just launched.
But for, you know, public perception, like, my God, at least pretend to give a shit about Ariana or like the people you just stompled over in your affair.
dumb fucking restaurant is he's so he's so calculated and so kind of um what's the word I'm looking for uh he's like he just his intentions are so obvious and the fact
that he didn't even try and cover it up and be subtle in his statement really just proves what
kind of like low life he is.
Well, there's nothing he could say right now, especially right now.
So then don't say anything.
About Ariana, there's no apology that like anybody wants to hear.
Like this is going to be like a long road to rehabilitation for his image.
And, you know, an apology on Instagram is not is not gonna nobody wants to hear it right now
but I think he thought that reminding people that there are people who work for the business that
have families like would touch people's hearts yeah but again that's really not the responsibility
of Bravo fans yeah it's not so that's all we have from this Raquel is Lala quiet Raquel like there have been rumors
about Raquel and her crisis PR team on Dumois and what sort of route they're taking they say
that she's actually going to break up with Tom Sandoval which I think she should not do
the only way out of this is to be together forever. Yep.
If she breaks up with Tom.
It really reminds me of Ariana.
No, it doesn't remind me at all, honestly.
Like it does. It was so like, and then remember Vegas Girl?
Like Kristen just really wanted to prove to everyone that like,
yes, she's crazy, but like Tom made her crazy.
Like she thinks he cheated with Ariana.
He's also cheated with this Vegas Girl like he is a cheater and I feel as though she's been
enormously vindicated oh she has been but I feel like she was for a while and also in the fact that
Tom and Kristen had a horrible relationship and we saw that in every episode every single day and
by the time they broke up it was it was like hallelujah and the fact that there was someone
there for that Tom could move on with, it was like, please go.
We would love to see two people that shouldn't be together
not be together.
But even though there are rumors that they were going through
a hard time, which I do believe, you know, after 10 years,
he also has these two restaurants.
He's put all of his money into it.
He's also annoying as fuck.
I do believe that relationship wasn't peaking, but didn't have that like toxic quality like Tom and Kristen
no no it's something that you work through not like you go and have an affair with the girl's
best friend I cannot get over this honestly like and you know what everyone was like oh what's
wrong with Ariana she didn't want to get married bitch she better she's probably so fucking happy yeah that she could just walk out yeah they share a house together so it'll be like
a little you know paperwork they don't have to go through a divorce like she's a queen she's so
smart yeah and I feel like Tom's Annabelle if he's smart but he's not and he's so egotistical
like you would think he would just like whatever Ariana wants to do is like what we'll do because
any pushback she gets from him she just all she needs to do is put on social media Tom's taking the house no totally and and Ariana has been on the show for a really
long time she I'm assuming does really well financially because she didn't do anything
crazy you know she didn't start her and Katie are being so smart about this sandwich shop like
looking for investors not doing anything too hasty they don't want it to be this huge space like
they're taking it on slowly I feel like she's been really responsible financially and Tom when he was
talking about Venmo-ing his bandmates and renting studio space I didn't realize like he had to pay
all the thousand dollars a day to play to pay for Schwartz and Sandy's right so I feel like he's in
a hole like he flew his family out and and he couldn't cancel the flights like he I feel like
he's actually really not doing well financially and the fact that they're not married is a huge blessing
for Ariana who I feel like has been really smart with her Vanderpump money and she's been on for
a long time so at this rate she can't be making less than $30,000 an episode like she's doing
really well she's definitely making way more than that yeah and she's not she's more flashy
no she started this little side hustle. Nothing crazy.
Yeah.
And even if she just cashed her Vanderpump checks,
like she's doing really well.
And it doesn't seem like she has spending problems
that we know about.
So I believe she has a podcast.
Does she?
I think.
Oh my God.
I could just, all I see right now is like Sheena.
I know.
We need to talk about Sheena's podcast. Trying to ariana on her podcast let me just look up ariana maddox
no she doesn't sorry oh earth to ariana but it hasn't been updated since november okay so like
she doesn't do it anymore yeah um sheena's trying to get the exclusive for shenanigans
please i was i was obsessed with that whole saga on the most recent episodes.
Like Sheena's so obvious.
Like, my God, walking over.
By the way, I forget that they keep saying Sheena lives far.
Sheena like doesn't live in LA.
She lives by like the marina, like literally 45 minutes away.
So the fact that literally in the span of a week,
she made like three trips to Tom Schwartz's apartment.
One for the pregame, one to hang out with Sandoval,
and then one to record the podcast. loser loser like I cannot get over it I
thought like honestly I know we all treat Tom Schwartz like this village idiot but like the way
he's so easily manipulated by people like you didn't know what Sheena was doing and you didn't
tell her hey Sheena cut that part out like he's so like dumb yeah he's so dumb he just like doesn't have a spine enough to say
sheena cut that out um but i did actually have some respect for him when he turned raquel down
at the same and he knew he didn't even think he was filming he turned her down before yeah he's
like wait are we still filming of course eventually they do kiss at sheena's wedding but that is
nothing like whenever they will kiss i'm just gonna be you know what
I'm gonna feel worse for Schwartz because I'm gonna be like Raquel was playing him this whole
time as a cover for her affair with Sandoval when she kisses Schwartz she's having an affair with
Sandoval already so it's like yeah she's manipulating him and it's like we are supposed
to be mad at Schwartz but I'm actually gonna feel sorry for him the whole Schwartz and Raquel thing
started because some rumor got released that at Coachella,
Tom was kissing Raquel.
Now, a lot of people say like,
maybe the rumor got twisted
and like Tom Sandoval was kissing Raquel.
And like Schwartz just like went with it.
Like, oh, there's a silly rumor about me.
Maybe, but the timeline like doesn't really add up.
I know.
I know because Coachella's in April.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But my God, Sheena like has actually, and this is saying a lot,
because I feel like she's looked really bad for many seasons.
This might be the worst she's ever looked.
And now knowing what we know,
knowing that she's really isolating herself from everyone just to support Raquel,
and now Raquel is this, like, radioactive villain, she looks really stupid.
She still has Ariana. Like, Ariana is her first friend on the show.
Yeah.
And so for her to now throw her support behind Ariana,
like that is a life raft she can cling to.
But it's like when they're all hanging out at Ariana's house,
like Katie's not talking to her.
Lala.
Lala.
No, Lala and her are like best friends.
Sorry.
Their kids, their daughters are together every single day. Oh. They're so, so close. Well, she just looks stupid. So it's just Katie, really.
Yeah, by the way, I'm obsessed with Katie. Like, she's been so funny, and I love her friendship
with Lala. Like, I know they're like the last two of that group who are still on the show. Like,
Brittany's out, and Stassi's out, and Kristen's out. So they like really only have each other,
but I feel like their friendship is really genuine, they're like really they're in like a similar place but
they're also in really different places in their lives like sobriety and motherhood but I feel like
they have a really good friendship and Katie's just being so funny and honestly I do agree with
pretty much everything Katie has said thus far like yeah we had this agreement fine you want to
fuck Raquel I'll run train through your restaurant like that was so funny um and I
feel like she's justified I know a lot of people are like you're divorced but like asking just not
to dip in the friends group like it's really not asking a lot unless it's the love of your life
it's not asking a lot and especially it's definitely not the like even if it is the love
of your life you don't go around to love if you're like hey want to make out let's make out I feel
like no it's high school it's high school it's so disrespectful the fact that a friend of hers would be the one to come up with the idea and sort of
force them together and do all these like nefarious behind the scenes things and act like no I just
want to have a pregame so she didn't have to go alone like shut up yeah no shut up and like I guess
Katie did say that thing in Vegas because Katie didn't deny it she just said like I said it but
like I don't feel that way anymore.
Like, honestly, respect.
That's like the most relatable fucking thing.
Like, yeah, I said that and I don't mean it because I was like pretending to be mature
or whatever, but like, I'm not.
Yeah.
When I was watching this most recent episode and like Katie eventually like brings Christina
Kelly along, I was thinking like how miserable filming the show must be for Katie.
She doesn't have any of her friends that she started with.
It's now all about these new people and the new people are just like now going after Schwartz like
what the fuck what am I doing here because if she just didn't have to hang out with this group of
people anymore like she wouldn't have if Schwartz goes and makes out with Raquel it's not her
problem but she's one of three original cast members on the show still she's making more
money than all those other people.
That's not a check you just walk away from. So she has to keep showing up and keep being miserable
and keep watching Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras and keep hearing DJ James Kennedy
spinning on the ones and twos. No, but you know what? Say what you want about DJ James Kennedy.
I love him. Yeah. Like, first of all, he's so unapologetically himself that like you actually have to respect
it.
He's an amazing reality star.
Like he really is.
And he's done and said some horrible, unforgivable things.
But there's something about him like you just keep coming back to.
And with his DJ career, like everyone made fun of him when he first started.
But you know what?
Like he turned that see you next Tuesday thing into a legitimate affair at Sur he does like a really good job and you know what when Tom Sandoval was
like we're so lucky to have DJ James Kennedy opening for us like he was right like your band
is a fucking joke you can't fucking sing and you know what I've actually seen DJ James Kennedy
DJ and he's pretty fucking great no and it's a great time it's a great idea like I feel like a
few people from the show have made like uh IRL things
happen for themselves like Stassi and her and her podcast and her book and like she had so much
success and like James did that with his DJ career not only does he DJ within the restaurants
beautiful but he could go DJ at a club and like all these Vanderpump fans are going to come to
want to see him like it's so smart everybody keeps trying to do stuff like that even the restaurants
like Tom Tom like that was a success but it's not a shoo-in and i was just saying to zach because zach just started watching banner
pump again like this season i don't know why and we were talking about james and i was like yeah
but i love him he was like what i was like there's just something so funny about him like so real
even when when he's wrong he's so wrong and it's annoying but when he's right he's so right and he doesn't back down it's like yes thank you go off no and he's like funny like he's like funny and just like he's
himself now I would never want to date him in my whole life could never be his girlfriend I don't
think he should be drinking but there's like a lovable affable side to him that I appreciate and he's a great person on a reality show who has
more than you would expect right moments yeah yeah no he just gets like we're so blinded by his like
dumb shit like when he just says things about with like Katie's body like you were just blinded by
that but every now and then like he does he does have uh he has his
moments yeah and he's just funny he's like i don't want to say the s word or the d word
but it's stupid and dumb he's so funny um and now this james and katie are an alliance and i'm sorry
i ship it's an un it's an unstoppable force i don't think they should be together. But like the two of them, I would not want them as my enemies.
No.
I am obsessed.
Like this stuff that has been coming out, like the memes, like it's so,
it has actually reinvigorated my love for this show.
Yeah.
I was feeling so fatigued by these characters and these storylines and these plots
but now i'm actually i thought i thought raquel and schwartz just making out was fucking crazy
right and that was okay we have a season right they're gonna kiss right this we have a franchise
we have a decade it's too much i mean you could have said the same thing about jen shaw so let's
not oh that's true but these kids before these kids before the horse, these kids are pros.
These kids are pros.
They won't fumble.
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are all rookies.
They don't know.
Like they were ill-equipped.
These kids are not.
They know.
They've seen what the power of this show can do.
Yeah.
And honestly, a lot of it, a lot of them are in so deep with their restaurants and their
businesses.
They are not about to let this ship go down without a fight no and now they have they literally got a life raft
literally yeah they're not gonna fuck this up I have literally the utmost faith in them but to be
honest I would love in this very moment to hear from some of our former disgraced cast members
Jax Kristen of course and you know people are saying like some of our former disgraced cast members, Jax, Kristen, Stassi.
Of course, and people are saying, out of everyone on the cast,
Jax turned out to be the upstanding guy, the good husband.
The father.
The father.
Who to thunk.
Who to thunk.
He would have really kind of nestled into his life after Pump Rules
in such a respectable way.
He doesn't thirst out live tweeting the episodes like he's
totally out of it him and Brittany look so happy they both look really good I would love to hear
from them yep Stassi too how dare you because she hated him the most yeah and you know what
she was right she was right and of course Kristen of course I mean and Kristen being the bigger person you know
going over to Ariana's and being there for her posting team Ariana like a lot of girls wouldn't
do that like a lot of girls would still be holding on to a lot of the anger and resentment they have
for their their ex's new girl but they've been friends for a while I think Kristen you know
moved on especially season now like dodged a bullet.
Thanks, Ariana.
I mean, how anyone, not to be mean, but like how anyone could even be remotely attracted to Tom Sandoval.
And I don't mean that in a physical sense.
I mean, his personality, his midlife crisis, his band.
Like, I don't know how you could see someone on stage and then be like, yeah, I want to
have sex with that.
Like, he's so cringe.
Like the Schwartz's mom.
He's so like the Schwartz's mom he's so like the Schwartz's mom you know who he
reminds me of with like the Bravo fans like these older women who like love him it reminds me of
Hugh Grant in um music and lyrics like before he blows back up again he like plays county fairs
and there's like five like 50 year old women who were obsessed with his band back in the 80s like
it's it's really it's it's pathetic yeah but people
like that's the show and people really do like did like him and like go to his shows and like
oh my god he's singing about Schwartz's mom that's so funny it's it's not though and so we need to as
a society discuss why we ever thought that was funny because I didn't no no I didn't no but
like people did like there was an audience for that and that's actually the real problem here.
I want to interview the audience members.
I know.
Were you genuinely laughing?
Were you laughing because you felt bad?
Because that I understand.
Were you an extra for the show?
Did you buy a ticket?
No, and the way he named his band,
Tom Sandoval's in the most extra because somebody called him extra
two seasons ago
when he's trying to make a moment out of it.
There are ways to take things people have said about you on the show
and like turn it into your own brand.
And I think people have done it really successfully.
But when you try and it like doesn't catch on
and like it's like a flop and you're trying so hard,
there's honestly nothing more embarrassing.
And just like Ariana was so good to him.
Even if they weren't, you know, physically like together anymore.
But like when she's trying on all those outfits I know I thought
the same thing she's taking him seriously being like no well he's good but like what else and
then be like yes that's it like could never be me no I would literally sit there and be like
I'm gonna be real with you you look like a fucking clown like no but she was blindly supportive and
he so did not deserve that and I really feel bad for Ariana but I also am
excited we're gonna get like this genesis this rebirth of Ariana where like the fans are 100%
behind her she's single she looks great like I'm ready yeah this is so crazy and honestly I feel
like she's gonna keep the house I feel like she can I feel like she can too but does she want to does she want a big house she doesn't seem like the type I feel like she's going to keep the house. I feel like she can. I feel like she can too. But does she want to?
Does she want a big house?
She doesn't seem like the type.
I feel like she's kind of like.
A penthouse girl.
Yeah.
Like a downtown condo.
She doesn't want to be in the suburbs alone.
We're literally reverting to like the Vanderpump of yore.
Like they were all in these apartments that had like, you know, no furniture.
And they were just like these young kids with no money.
And then they all got like a little too rich they bought houses whatever but then they all started
going through divorce and restaurants and honestly a lot of them have no money no they have money but
you don't need a house when you don't have a like a family have a home right right but like a
something to come home to Tom Schwartz is in an apartment now. I think Sheena lives in an apartment. I think Lala does. I think Katie does. Because it's not a financial thing. Katie yeah
now maybe Ariana but it's not a financial thing. It's like you don't need a a home when you're a
single person like that who wants that. Right no it's also just like way easier not to have to
be in like a residential family neighborhood when like now you want to go out all the time.
You want to be closer to bars and restaurants. Right. Want to be able to Uber like you don't need to go all the
like 30 minutes. Yeah. No, honestly, like when they all moved into houses and like Brittany and
Jax were talking about how it's like it's not as great as it looks like Jax was mowing the yard.
Like that was funny. Yeah. But Brittany and Jax are still there. Well, and they should be like
they have a kid and they're settled like they're not going out. They're just like keeping their heads down and like growing their family.
Yeah.
So they need a house.
Right.
No,
but we're reverting to the Vanderpump of your,
yeah.
Everyone in these apartments that are like gross.
They don't have to be gross.
No,
but like,
that's what it was.
That's what it was,
but they're not going to be gross.
Like Katie doesn't live in a gross apartment.
not Katie.
No,
no,
no.
Not Ariana.
No, not Ariana. I wonder if she no. Not Ariana. No, not Ariana.
I wonder if she'll keep the house.
We'll have to wait and see.
Yeah.
It's just been, it's been a time.
Yeah, they're going to have to speed up these episodes.
And also if I'm the editors, I'm combing through this footage
to see if there's moments that I missed.
Yep, yep.
And that's what everyone's doing now.
Like they're going through Sheena's vlogs and people's old stories
like just to see, you know,
if there was something we missed.
I feel like the editors could maybe find something
that they didn't care about
and just maybe shift the focus a little bit
of the rest of the season.
Otherwise it's going to be dreadful to watch
until we get to this part,
but it will be worth it because cameras are up.
Yep.
And then there's a reunion.
Yep.
And everyone will be answering it because cameras are up yep and then there's a reunion yep and everyone will be
answering yeah the reunion is like my my next super bowl yeah but I think it's also important
to remember like this is a television show and yet you don't know these people and we can talk
about it for entertainment value and but then like I don't need to go and leave mean comments
on anyone's page like I like I don't know you. You didn't betray me.
Like, we are just fans and spectators.
Like, calm the fuck down.
Yeah, I agree.
You know?
Yep.
Because it's like, people are not meant to.
Deal with it.
Yeah.
Receive and see and deal with this much criticism about themselves.
No matter what their crime is.
Agreed.
Unless it's murder and you're Alex Murdoch.
Yeah. So, just keep that in mind. and you're Alex Murdoch. Yeah.
So just keep that in mind.
Keep a level head, you guys.

Our next story, Chris Rock did his live Netflix comedy special,
Selective Outrage, and he's mentioning it all. He shredded Will Smith with Oscar slap jokes,
said, quote, everyone calls him a bitch, and who does he hit?
Me.
Almost a year after the infamous Oscar slap,
comedian Chris Rock finally addressed
what happened in his live Netflix special.
After an hour of new material
that only alluded to Slapgate,
he said in the beginning,
he said, quote,
they say words hurt.
Anybody who says words hurt
has never been punched in the face.
So that was at the top of the show.
He didn't get back into the slap or anything.
I thought that was kind of gonna be it.
But no, he did like a whole five
to ten minutes going in on what happened he said quote you all know what happened to me getting
smacked by Suge Smith everybody knows everybody fucking knows I got smacked like a year ago
and people are like did it hurt it still hurts I got summertime ringing in my ears despite the
pressure from the press to open up about what happened he's
adamant that he won't be dissecting it on a talk show he said quote I'm not a victim baby you will
never see me on Oprah or Gayle crying you will never see it it's never going to happen fuck that
shit I took that shit like Pacquiao you know I thought that was a really good response one because
it harked back to like a big segment he did in his special about how everyone
is a victim these days.
We're always saying that, like searching for victimhood.
Everyone wants to be a victim.
But also it was a nice little dig at Will Smith because like Will Smith got up there
and slapped fucking Chris Rock.
And then Will Smith went on TED Table Talk 400 times and cried, like making himself the
victim.
So I like how Chris Rock not only like harked back to previous material, but he was also like,
I'm not a victim.
Even though technically like in this saga,
like he was the victim of a slap.
Like you're going to go and cry.
Okay, bitch.
Like I'm going to stand up here and make jokes about it.
Yeah.
I love Ted table talk, but.
By the way, he really went hard.
I honestly thought he like wouldn't want to be
associated with this anymore.
And like, he was kind of using it for clickbait
for his special. Like I honestly didn't know if he was still like angry or if he was ever
really angry, but he's fucking mad. And you know what? He called Will Smith a bitch. He called Jada
Pinkett Smith a predator, which honestly it's pretty decent call because I didn't really put
together that that dumb entanglement thing was with one of her son's friends. Like that's fucking
weird. And I also didn't know that
like beyond the slap like beyond the surface there's actually history with Jada Will and Chris
as it pertains to the Oscars like Jada was really upset when Chris Rock agreed to host it all those
years ago because Will wasn't nominated and so I didn't realize that it was layered beyond that so he was like he was
digging yeah at Jada like he was you know he was starting stuff with that joke G.I. Jane
but because there was history there yeah and and now but no but he was slapped hosts and
presenters like make lots of little jokes at people like yeah a slap for a joke it doesn't even matter like Chris could
have said the most disgusting joke of all time and it still wouldn't have warranted a slap like
you don't fucking slap people right and so now he's going in on them and what happened and how
I guess Chris even called him when everything like went down with the entanglement like
and to like be there for him and instead he slaps him and it's like everybody was talking shit about Will Smith and like clowning
on him and he slaps and Chris wasn't and but that's who he slaps and also he talks about how
Will Smith is so much bigger than him like they're not the same size they're it's not a fair fight
like he's a big guy and his slap fucking hurts yeah honestly like I I was almost prepared to be disappointed
because I feel like Chris I just thought Chris Rock would have been like moved on from it and
like he's like we're just like above it yeah and I'm so glad he wasn't because you know what you
got fucking slapped and sometimes you just need to go for the jugular yeah I don't know why I
thought he would like not be as mad as he is yeah no me too like i don't know why i kind of i just perceive him
maybe it's because he's like this comedy legend as someone who's just like above shit like this
but you know what like will smith dragged him down to the trenches and chris rock is joining him
and i respect that like i hate that shit like rise above no couldn't be me but especially if
somebody slaps me is above it because he's not getting physical. He's using his words. Right, right, right.
Like a grown up.
I was actually really pleased with the response.
Like he's mad.
And you know what?
That's a human response.
Yeah.
And like he took a year to figure out what he wanted to say,
when he wanted to say it, how he wanted to say it.
And like there's nothing rash about this.
And I also appreciate that he's saying it all.
He's mentioning it all.
And he's mentioning ent all and he's mentioning
entanglement and all the things I could have said about Will Smith but I didn't but I will now
no it's true like him and Jada really like for many years like dragged their relationship in
the public sphere it's not like they were being dragged they put themselves there they kind of
like embarrass themselves and their families over and over so when you think of the birth of not birth is it breadth breadth breadth of material that you
could write about these two really G.I. Jane is is harmless and I know like she has alopecia so I
get why it's layered but to be honest the rationale for why the joke might have been
insensitive is irrelevant now because you got up and slapped someone like to me I don't give a
shit what you have to say I don't care about your victimhood you are wrong in perpetuity because you
slap someone yeah and I feel like for the last year like Will Smith has been dipping his toe in his PR cycle you know and now Will uh
Chris Rock it's just like back down again start again because start from the beginning honestly
I had forgotten and whatever I thought like Chris was over it so I'm over it right now we're reliving
it like Chris is like such a cutie you know he came that special. He's like this family man talking about his kids.
He's so cute.
He was so funny.
He made some really good points.
I was enjoying the special.
And I'm like, you know what?
Now I'm feeling protective again of Chris Rock.
And he's mad.
So I'm mad.
It's like it's all it's starting all over again, which must be really infuriating for
Will Smith.
Anything he did in the last year to try and overcome it.
Totally.
We're back at square one.
A hundred percent.
And you know what I love
that Chris like didn't give an interview and he saved this moment for himself I'm sure he sold
the shit out of this special not only because it was you know the first time he was talking about
Will Smith but it was also this technological marvel of live streaming on Netflix I love that
he kept it for himself it's like you know us doing it on the Patreon hundred percent plus he's Chris
I love that and they invest in comedy on Netflix.
Like he probably got paid so much.
I can't imagine he got paid less than $20 million.
For one special, one live?
Yeah.
It's possible that this was a part of like a three special deal.
Yeah, they like to do that.
Like Jerry Seinfeld did three specials for 60.
So, but this is different.
You know, it's live.
Live television people.
Chris Rock. It's Chris Rock live show. It's Chris Rock live do do do do do do chrissy rock would be better because it's 30 rock chrissy rock
chrissy no too many syllables somehow no 30 chrissy i know but it's they don't say 30 rock they say
live show it's 30 rock it's 30 rock live show it's chrissy rock live it's chr Live show. It's Crazy Rock Live. It's Crazy Rock Live show.
Yeah, it's totally perfect.
It felt just as good the way I was singing it.
The special otherwise,
the special,
the special otherwise was good.
It wasn't like amazing,
but it was really good and funny. Oh, I thought it was really strong.
I thought he made some really good points,
some really good jokes.
Oh my God, I was telling you how I was,
I can't remember the
last time i laughed so hard at a joke from a comedy special is when he was talking about the
difference between dating financially the difference financially between dating older
women and younger women and when he said really funny for an older woman you have to pay to fix
for a younger woman it's like shoes she'll be like I want shoes give me one pair of shoes shoes shoes shoes and then for an older woman she's like can you fix my roof it was really funny oh my god
honestly I couldn't even hear the next five minutes because I literally if I was further
along my pregnancy I think I would have given birth Zach and I were tears tears laughing I
thought it was funny I didn't think it was like tears funny. I don't know why.
It was funny.
I was just waiting to see what he was going to say.
Like what does an older woman
want a house?
Like I didn't know.
Right.
And she wants you
to fix her roof.
Like it was so funny.
He's also making headlines
for his bit about Meghan Markle
which I thought
was really interesting.
So let's talk about that
and then that's actually
going to lead into
our next story.
So he had a bit
about the ways that people
It was the same it was the same bit we
were talking about earlier like just victimhood yes everyone wants to be a victim of something
that america we're addicted to attention there's four ways to get attention you know uh you could
put your ass on instagram out you could be infamous you could be excellent or you could be a victim.
Right.
And he said, and speaking of, you know,
Meghan Markle and her journey to victimhood and everything that she shared.
And he's talked about, you know, how she,
like the things that she said on Oprah
and how, you know, you didn't know the royal family was racist.
Like they invented racism.
And then he started talking about a few of the things
that she said to, you know, exhibit how they were racist and he was like that's not racism that's like in-law
shit right right so it was just really funny and she doesn't get a really any negative negative
press in the U.S. aside from that South Park thing that was a few weeks ago which we heard
that they didn't like and that they were upset about,
but then we heard the,
no,
they didn't care.
So I feel like to go from like being,
you know,
so celebrated and not,
and no one will say a bad word to that South Park episode.
And then this,
which is like the,
one of the biggest comedy moments this year.
And he's like really going in on them.
There must not be happy.
To be honest, it was, it it was refreshing because I feel like what comedy is really supposed to do is be the thing you think
but don't say and we exist in a culture in the and I think it's it's out of a protectiveness for
Megan which I appreciate I think it started from a good place. But you really can't criticize Harry and Meghan without being, you know, labeled as something.
And so for Chris Rock to get on here and just kind of say the thing we were all thinking,
like, I don't know, some of the stuff they described, like, is it evil?
No.
Is it like, do I deal with the same shit with my in-laws?
Kind of.
Like, it was refreshing to hear.
And that's really what comedy
is supposed to be and so to hear someone who probably has a lot to lose by saying that I'm
sure he could hobnob with Harry and Meghan at Ellen's house whenever he wants I don't know
that that's a lot to lose though not getting the invite no but I'm saying like he could run into
Harry and Meghan tomorrow like honestly like him saying that is brave it's not like some nobody comic on a podcast saying it. I don't think he there's a lot to lose by not being able to run into them and it being awkward
you know what I mean like I think it's worth it. No I think he puts himself in a bad position
like he's he's on the same level of fame. Yeah. So he puts himself kind of
perhaps as a target or or putting himself in a bad spot and for him to say it means
he really believes it and I think a lot of people in the audience agreed with it and I think people
watching at home it's like well yeah like I mean we all think that but yeah no one's gonna say it
yeah and that's what comedy that's the purpose of comedy yeah but I feel like the more time that
they spend in Hollywood I'm constantly shocked by how few friends it seems that they have.
Well, Rebel Wilson.
Rebel Wilson is our next story.
But how few things that they should be at that they're not at.
When you zoom out, it's like,
why aren't they spotted at dinner with this and that and them and them?
Like we never hear that.
The only really things that we see
one the Ellen party which we reference every single time we say where you could see them
and in the documentary the people who called her after the opening Beyonce called her
yeah does she text with Beyonce today right no they it's almost like well why do they even live
in LA yeah but like they're not at the Met Gala they are not at like the some of these big birthday parties for some of the really big stars like I don't know if Hollywood's going how
they thought it was gonna go that's a good point and a good segue to our next rate because I would
say I found really interesting I don't know why they wouldn't be embraced by Hollywood um because
it seems like right after they left the family they were they Oprah went well
and everything but Rebel Wilson was on Watch What Happens Live talking about meeting Harry and Megan
and while she said really sweet things about Harry she said Megan was not naturally warm so
that's so funny because that's what Megan said about Kate oh that is funny that is and I feel like Megan's brand that she posts forth is just like
this warm person the warm American hugger you know right right right Rebel Wilson says she did
not get a warm reception from Megan when she first met the Duchess of Sussex she said Megan was not
as cool she wasn't as naturally warm however she noted that Marco could have been standoffish due to her mom her Australian mom asking slightly rude questions like where are your kids
rebel said mom that is fucking rude don't ask her that they said they met because they had a mutual
friend um and Harry was really warm and sweet and that Megan was not the way that Harry was and she
didn't mince words no I was surprised
for her I was surprised for her to be like so direct and like shady and I feel like actually
like Rebel has more to lose saying just this about Megan and Harry because she's not on the same
level as Chris Rock where it's like Chris Rock is a legend period doesn't matter who he offends
yeah I was really surprised yes me too but I also feel like
we're always saying here like okay one referencing one time meeting someone like isn't a fair
assessment of their character like maybe she had a long day maybe she was in a bad mood maybe she
felt awkward maybe she doesn't like Rebel Wilson like maybe she heard Rebel Wilson say something
about her you know what I mean like I don't feel like it's actually an accurate but I'm adding it just it's it's noted but I'm not gonna make a general uh observe not observation general I'm having a
hard time with the words today general like judgment statement judgment sure on one person's
one time it's not like Megan said I can't talk rebel said oh every time I've met Megan she's been a
bitch like it was one time and you know what um it's noted but I'm not making any big any big
statements yeah I'll say two things about that one we say this all the time I hate when people
on TikTok are like so-and-so was rude and they like have these anecdotal reasons as to why they're
rude and they don't even tell you who it is but I feel like the fact that she said this and it seemed like she said in the commercial break and
then repeated it yes because she said we were just talking about this in the break so she repeated it
again on television the fact that she would say it was her not just like oh I hobnob with someone
who you would think was so warm but really wasn't it wasn't anonymous she would say it was her she
would not be like but
maybe well actually did she did say maybe she was put off she did my mom asking rude questions
I don't think it's so rude to say where are your kids if I'm out and some like someone said where's
Harry I would just think that not rude just dumb like he's home what do you think no it depends
like who you are like if you're easily offended and you're like are you judging my motherhood
depends on what the um context where we are like if we're in the and you're like are you judging my motherhood depends on what the
um context where we are like if we're in the park having a picnic like where are your kids like they
could they be here but if we're are we at a cocktail party dinner party where are my kids
like they're asleep when she lou right they're with they're with the setter so yeah like so
it depends on the context i don't think it's like like overall the rudest question um the fact that she like just didn't
mince words I I'm no I find it I I found the whole thing extremely interesting yeah especially
since that's like Harry's supposed to be like the British stiff upper lip and she's like right warm
warm American and we got the opposite So I thought that was interesting.
No, I just also appreciate
when people share their anecdotes.
Like I'm always wondering
what's going on behind closed doors.
Yeah.
No one,
no one's like shared stuff like this.
So about anyone.
No, I know.
Like very,
very just direct and honest
how you felt in the moment.
I feel like Rebel must have had
like a really nasty experience with her
to then just say.
It must have been worse.
To then just say not naturally warm. It wasn't just like a really nasty experience with her to then just say worse to then just say not naturally warm it wasn't just like a natural warmth that she felt the need to share it must
have been worse yeah it's not a good month for harry and megan i feel like actually it's been a
good few months i don't think the reception to the book and the documentary was really what they
thought the book reception was better but the documentary reception was not great. But the book sales were great.
So they have like a lot of money,
but he already got paid the 20 million for three books.
So they already cashed those checks, I think.
I think they care just about public perception
and image as they do about money.
Yes, but they have to care about both.
Yeah.
Like you can't have,
long-term you can't have one without the other
and they need both.
It's not like they're part of
the family anymore the family just gets to worry about public perception so true but they have to
worry in its own way about those things while also trying to make money yeah and like parallel to the
money yeah and people like you know when you do stuff for money they judge you as like what did
you sell for that you sold your family right I'm gonna fucking judge you as like, what did you sell for that? You sold your family.
Right, right.
I'm going to fucking judge you.
Yeah, yeah.
No, it hasn't been a great like six months, honestly.
Yeah.
They need to lay low.
Nobody ever regretted.
They've been laying low.
Except they went to dinner the other night.
No, dinner doesn't count.
I mean, Harry just did another sit down interview, mental health.
Oh my God, the trauma expert.
Like that was a disaster.
They need to stop opening up their legs for us like it's enough
they need nobody ever regretted laying low agreed aside from that interview which he I feel like he
does all these interviews and like does anybody fucking watch them because I only like see them
the excerpts yeah but anyways they went to dinner of course they're allowed to go to dinner but it
was like you know yeah paparazzi were there. They were all dressed.
That doesn't bother me.
Honestly, I feel like those moments actually are in the plus column for me
because they look really happy.
She always looks stunning.
I actually love seeing paparazzi photos of them.
Why?
No, you're allowed to go to dinner.
I'm talking about months and months.
No, there's a difference between going to dinner to eat a meal
and going to dinner.
We're going to Sam, the Chente bungalalows and the paparazzi have been called.
That stuff doesn't bother me.
For me, it was like the weeks and months of promo for the documentary, promo for the book,
sit down interviews, 60 minutes, BBC, everything.
Now this trauma expert.
Like that for people who really left for their mental health and for privacy.
Stop.
Close your legs to married men.
Like, stop.
That shit bothers me.
Actually, the paparazzi sandwich and a Bunkalo.
It's like, that's what I expected.
That's what I was like, oh, yes, they're coming to Hollywood.
Let's see the glamour.
Get out of the car.
What are you wearing?
She loves a good coat.
Like, that is exciting.
Yeah.
That is what I want to see.
And they don't do a lot of that.
Not even, they could go to dinner and call the paparazzi whenever they want.
But like, they're not at these a lot parties they're not at these big
events they could be at the Oscars presenting they're not and and by the way that type of thirst
would actually be good for them because that's an elevated thirst glamour that's Hollywood what I'm
saying is like what's surprising about their role in Hollywood is it's not the role I would have thought that they would have leaving the royal family and being like the A-listers that they are.
Right and it appears as though it's not a choice because if they were choosing not to be Hollywood
glamour then they wouldn't be doing all these sit-down interviews so it's not that they don't
want to be in the spotlight because they do but they're choosing the most bizarre spotlights.
No and the ones that are the big spotlights are seemingly not available to them like i don't know you know yeah i don't know because they would do
it like why aren't they going to they should be going to the vanity fair oscar party this year
yeah they should be going to the oscars they could be presenting at the oscars and it could
be like a you know a charitable award something even the sure yes same for the grammys and all the
other crap we just watch and the right where they bring like elected officials yeah in the same way
that like they're just like humanitarians okay you know what they've been like out and about like
very public i would be very interested if they do anything at the oscars okay maybe not presenting
but showing up at that vanity fair party for a photo that would be interesting but then to me the idea that they couldn't get invited to the vanity fair oscar party it sounds absurd
of course they could right so is it a choice i don't know but there's like i don't know i don't
know we'll see so are you ready for our next story what number is this? Four? Four. All right.
Pete Davidson and his girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders crashed their car into Beverly Hills home.
I saw this is a very nefarious smell and story.
Pete Davidson and his girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders
crashed their car into a Beverly Hills home Saturday night.
Please confirm to the post.
The SNL alum had been driving a Mercedes Benz
at a high rate of speed around 11 p.m. when he jumped a curb in the flats neighborhood he reportedly
also hit a fire hydrant and skidded across the front lawn before slamming into the corner of
the house the siding on one corner of the home was broken and pushed inward according to photos
of the damage obtained by TMZ Beverly Hills police confirmed to the post that the car crash had
occurred and damaged city property.
The fire hydrant.
And that it was in fact Pete behind the wheel.
A police spokesperson refused to provide further details.
As the department's investigation is ongoing.
Both of them walked away unharmed.
And what about the people in the house?
People in the house are fine.
No injuries or anything.
Late night. Driving fast. Residential neighborhood. This doesn't smell good to me. people in the house are fine no no no injuries or anything late night driving fast residential
neighborhood this doesn't smell good to me no this is no bueno and you know what
bad decision making and it bad the preliminary view according to tmc is that drugs and alcohol
were not involved here but an investigation is currently underway i mean a perfect preliminary view like they can do a blood alcohol test on him when they
show arrive um as far as weed how do you test for that you test like a drug test like normal
okay so maybe i don't know but by the way like he's gonna have weed in his system
can't be can you you can't be high and drive.
That's a really good question.
I feel like you can.
No way.
I mean, I feel that people do, but like, I don't know what the levels of fucked upness are.
Right.
But like weed stays in your system, I think for 30 days.
You take a drug test.
It's like, yeah, well, I smoked weed a week ago.
No, but it's like, if you take it on site, there's got to be a way.
Like literally we're sending people to the Mars.
Like you can find out how high someone is.
How do you though seriously like jump a curb, hit a fire hydrant,
and drive into someone's house if you're not even the slightest bit impaired?
Yeah.
Unless you have like a medical, unless you have a heart stroke.
Right, but they were fine at the scene.
Right.
Or like the car, you know, tweaked out wrong this is fishy for sure nefarious behavior and
I don't want to make any judgments until it's judgment day but this is terrible yeah I'm glad
they're both okay I'm glad everyone in the house is okay but now we need to get down to the bottom
of it because it sounds like sounds like Pete is making some bad decisions yeah and that worries me because he's a good boy
maybe spending too much time in la he's got to go back to staten island you know those
hedonistic los angelinos yeah los angelinos los angelinos so we'll keep you posted on that because
i do want to know what happened here because it's very concerning. 100%. Are you ready for our next story?

Miley Cyrus is teaming up with Disney again for Endless Summer Vacation concert special.
Miley Cyrus announced on Friday that she is re-teaming with Disney for a new concert special.
The former Hannah Montana star will perform her number one single, Flowers,
plus seven other songs from her upcoming album, Endless Summer Vacation,
for the latest installment of her Backyard Sessions.
Additionally, the set list will include
one of her chart-topping classics, The Climb,
as well as a collaboration with Rufus Wainwright,
according to a press release obtained by Page Six.
The special, which is interspersed
with new interview footage,
premieres March 10th at 1 p.m. Eastern time on Disney+,
the same day that her LP drops.
Okay, like Miley giving us backyard sessions.
If you remember the OG backyard sessions,
like it was kind of this like transitional period for Miley.
It was like before her solo career really took off,
after she like left Hannah Montana forever,
she was just like this, you know, down home country, all American girl.
And she like was just posting these YouTube videos of her singing in her backyard with like an accompaniment, maybe like a drummer and a guitarist.
And it was like these really high quality videos.
Her, I think most popular one is Jolene.
She, that was like her iconic long brown hair era and like boho outfits.
Bun.
She wore a bun on that one.
It was so, like we were so obsessed with Miley at that point
and Hannah Montana ended and like we really didn't know what the future held I believe maybe she had
released Party in the USA but we were like we were literally desperate for anything Miley could give
us and what she gave us was the backyard sessions and they became so iconic and she didn't even do
that many because then her solo career really took off And she didn't have to slum it in her backyard for YouTube anymore.
And her sound changed a little bit.
Then she was with bangers.
And like that's not like an acoustic backyard vibe.
Because she's constantly changing.
Evolving.
But the way that she knows how much those meant to us.
And she's bringing.
Like I'm deeply moved.
This is so thoughtful.
It is.
They were a cultural reset for sure.
And they continue to have impact.
Like people are still watching them.
People are still talking about them.
You know, I'm sure they're on TikTok clipped all the time.
And she's bringing it back.
And the fact that she's bringing it back with Disney Plus just shows like all's well.
And that's good.
It's really full circle, you know, because she could have gone to any any streamer and if she had such negative feelings about Disney it would not be Disney
yeah but this like just goes to show like we're okay everything was okay Hannah was good I'm okay
with everything here's the backyard sessions no you're right I'm actually getting like choked up
this is really beautiful yeah she's going back to her roots and she's singing the climb 2023 edition I'm so excited
she sings the climb quite frequently and she never does a bad job and she always adds like
something new a little twang a new note a new pitch she really always does that song justice
and the way she like protects that song for us is actually really sweet does that song justice. And the way she protects that song for us is actually really sweet.
That song means so much to so many of her fans.
And I think a lot of people were always talking about how they kind of shy away from the thing.
And no matter how big Miley gets, people will always want to go to her concerts and hear
the climb.
She always leaves that opportunity, that potential possibility for climb. And she always leaves that opportunity, like that potential possibility for us.
And she always does the song justice.
And like, I really want to thank her for that
because she loves the song and she knows that we love it.
And like the fact that she loves it makes us love it more.
No, and I think that we love the song so much,
but there are so many things from like, you know,
back in the day that you would love
just because of the nostalgia.
But I think coincidentally,
like the climb is an absolutely beautiful song
and the lyrics and the message are eternal.
And so she's not like embarrassed by it.
It's not like the Jonas Brothers
going and singing year 3000,
which is just a gimmick.
Like this is a song.
Peace to girl.
Yeah, this is a song that like means something.
It's a beautiful song.
It's something that could be released today.
And it's just like a gorgeous song. It's not just because we're not asking her to perform best of both worlds
you know right no it's a song that feels like a real song the fact that she can even see through
all the hannah stuff to be like oh that is a real beautiful song that just happened to fall into my
lap as hannah just it shows a maturity on her part not to shun everything
from Hannah as like corny bad Disney nonsense no you're right the message is really evergreen
evergreen life's a climb there's always gonna be another mountain that's not even the lyrics
no I know but that's like the message of the song I was what's inspired the message is
there's always gonna to be another mountain.
Period.
I'm always going to want to make it move.
Always going to be an uphill battle.
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose.
Ain't about how fast I get there.
Damn straight.
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side.
Facts.
It's the climb.
Facts.
Straight facts. No lies were told.
Zero. Straight facts. No lies were told. Zero.
Absolutely none.
And that's a message we could all use every day in every way.
Jackie, that's beautiful.
Thank you, Dirty Lou.
It's the climb.
So good. I won't spiral, but like i could you could when those violins come in
she better have a full string orchestra orchestra in the backyard session
or else we're gonna have problems sometimes you're gonna have problems. Sometimes you're gonna have to lose.
And about how fast,
such a good song.
And about what's waiting on the other side.
It's the climb.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Keep on moving.
Keep climbing.
Keep the faith, baby.
Doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon, doon.
