Sunglasses On: Monday, January 20th, 2026

26:29You're signing away your name. It's your family's name. It's not just yours. It means something bigger, especially in like the business landscape. So I'm actually not with Brooklyn on this one. Yeah, I think that's a good way to explain it because the way that he said it makes no sense. Your parents aren't asking you to sign away your name as they walk you down the aisle like they love you. It's clearly just legalese. I know. And like I could see people like thinking that this is so, you know. I haven't seen anyone thinking this is so. This is just like what high profile people. You have to protect your assets.

26:59Yes, it would be nice to believe that this is a marriage that's going to last 100 years. More often than not, it doesn't. And you're a dumbass if you don't, like, protect your assets. You protect your name. You could go. Let's say they get divorced and she was Nicola Beckham. And, you know, she's not a part of the family. And she's going on starting businesses, Nicola Beckham. And she would be well within her legal right. I don't think this is crazy. My holdout affected the payday. And they have never treated me the same since. Well, it also sounds like. Sounds like his inheritance. No, or there was like a deal that they were going to do with like the whole family.

27:30They needed his name and he didn't sign it. And so it affected the payday. What payday? What deal do they need Brooklyn for? Have you ever read Brooklyn's photography book? You know that they don't need Brooklyn for any deal. Okay. I like this picture. It's out of focus, but you could tell there's a lot going on. The great Brooklyn Beckham. Just say like there was a family deal on the table and he wouldn't sign his name away for the deal. Like maybe someone wanted the rights to all of their names. Maybe something like that. I don't know. I don't even think. I just feel like there was a prenup.

28:01His parents. This happens a lot. Like where wealthy parents want their kids, spouses to sign prenups. And it gets really awkward. And it's just like, that's just what happens. Like. During the wedding planning, my mom went so far as to call me, quote, evil because Nicola and I chose to include my nanny, Sandra, and Nicola's nonny at our table because they both didn't have their husbands. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours. So is this like grandmother or nanny? Nanny. Is nanny a nanny or a nonna? But some people call their grandmas like nanny too. But she's the American one.

28:32So why does she have a nonny? I don't know. Well, it sounds like, you know, the parents each had their own tables. But then at Brooklyn and Nicholas table, they had these two figures who like weren't their parents. Now, this is I'm chalking up to like true wedding stuff. A lot of this is like wedding planning where you see the worst in people. I actually imagine planning a wedding with Victoria Beckham as your mother-in-law is horrible. Like I'm going to take, I'm going to, I'm going to see Nicola's side there. Like I think when you have endless resources of your own and you don't need to ask Victoria Beckham for anything and it's your wedding, like what is, do what you want.

29:02Yeah. I think that like a lot of the statement had to do with wedding planning, Meshuggah, and a nonsense. And like, I have planned a wedding. It is horrible. You see the worst in people, you hate people. And then you get over it. These people never got over it. So we're still, they had a year of like, but the whole statement is about the, I know, but they were together for a year going to the premieres, being together, trying to make it work, but it seems like they weren't able to make it work. And they're still holding onto all the wedding Mishigas. No, but also like the reasons for the wedding Mishigas, it seems like Nicola and Victoria are strong personalities.

29:35They're both clashing heads. So they clashed at the wedding. They got over it. They're clashed again. Now they can't get over it. Yeah. And so they're bringing up everything from the wedding where it's like, at some point when I was reading this statement, this is so in the weeds. We're talking about like a wedding planning, like girl get over it. Like that is a part of marriage. It's horrible, but planning the wedding, you hate your family and then the wedding's over and it goes back to normal. So he said the night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was quote not blood and quote not family.

30:02Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly that were sent to the press on their orders. I have not seen an attack on Brooklyn that came from anyone other than like haters on the internet. Me. even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere last summer okay so this is where things start to bother me because at the end of the day it's very much he said she said like I said I actually think both people would agree that this one thing happened but their perceptions on it are totally different whereas like being blocked or blocking someone is sort of like it's much more binary like did you do it or did you not Cruz has alleged that Brooklyn blocked his family now Brooklyn is alleging that his family blocked him Like, which one is it?

30:45Last summer, though. So maybe someone unblocked. Now someone blocked again. Now everyone's telling the truth. Got it. That they blocked him last summer and he blocked them now. And this is so like minutia. We're blocking each other. Like, we've lost the plot. My mom hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 wedding guests, Mark Anthony called me to the stage wherein this schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife. But instead, my mom was waiting to dance with me instead. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone.

31:14I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that brings us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment. That they renewed their vows. So it's clear that like this wedding was a clusterfuck and they like don't acknowledge it, even though they never stopped posing pictures from it. I want to say one thing about this Marc Anthony thing. So it turns out this Marc Anthony thing is true. Obsessed, like obsessed. This is so Victoria, like this is so toxic mother-in-law thing to do. But just, you know, as a future toxic mother-in-law, I have one just question.

31:49Was there not a mother-son dance? Or was there two? Do you know what I mean? Because it sounds like there wasn't one. And so Victoria has just sort of made one, which she shouldn't have done. It's not her wedding. And Mark Anthony made one. I want to talk to Mark Anthony. Of course. Who put Mark up to this? We need Mark on the pot. Did someone put Mark up to this or did Mark feel compelled to sing something? He's at a wedding. Everybody loves him. I'm sure Mark has no idea. I'm sure Victoria asked him, assuming it was like all good. And then according to Denoir, this isn't in what Brooklyn said, but Brooklyn's not pulling punches.

32:23I mean, him saying his mother danced inappropriately. Like, seriously, what did she do? She wasn't like hugging him like my boy, my sweet boy. Now a video of Victoria dancing with her father has resurfaced. And like, it appears as though like she's a sexy dancer, no matter who she's dancing with. She's just a shoulder dancer. her no like she was you know um like you know show me are you gonna get up because it's like a two-person thing no no show me the video i don't want to dance with you why not yeah sure okay hold on it's just like she dances like a mom from the videos i've seen i i'm sorry i thought this was like such a low blow but anyways dumois had said that mark anthony also introduced her as Like the most beautiful woman in the room, Victoria Beckham, not, you know, the bride.

33:06So she just like sways her hips and, you know, is close. Like, I wouldn't say that that's inappropriate, but I could see someone saying it's inappropriate. I'm like, OK, I guess like again, I think it's like so. It's just a single person dance that she's doing. Like that's a solo dance that she's doing with a partner. So it's more so like just not jiving. But I'm sorry to call that inappropriate. It brings up like the worst connotations. Of course. And it's such and that's it's an unforgivable thing to say. Like, obviously, that's the takeaway. I mean, when I saw it, I was like, that's what I was like.

33:39Seriously, I got it from my chair. Like, I'm like, yeah, because regardless of what's in the statement, the fact that he put out eight pages, like talking about why he's not reconciling with his family, like keep it to yourself. Agreed. That he's speaking on it publicly and so obviously and in such detail is wrong. Period. It's spare behavior. It's giving spare. It's giving spare the memoir. Of course it is. And this is oldest son. Oldest. And I feel like I can acknowledge that probably during the wedding planning and the wedding itself, Victoria definitely took opportunities to make it. We're forgetting.

34:17This is fucking posh spice. It's always been about her. She is this larger than life figure. I could see her being like a nightmare to plan a wedding with. and I could see her I could also see Nicola wanting to give her nothing and I feel like they didn't give her a mother-son dance which is crazy so she just created the mother-son dance she wished to see in the world and made it like this big spectacle and then you know now in hindsight he could be like and she was dancing inappropriately like all of these things I am never and I feel like yes we acknowledge our bias I am really almost never going to take the side of someone who's publicly dragging their own family.

34:57Who's gathering out the dirty laundry. Unless your family is a ring of pedophiles or criminals. Like, for the most part, it's like interpersonal family things. And I'm just really, and if the family's intact, like you said, seems like Cruz and Romeo and they love Harper. They love their dad. They love their mom. They seem to be this really strong family unit. And again, maybe it's the Beckham machine, you know, winning me over. I just, but also, like, I'm also a wife. And if I feel disrespected by my mother-in-law, I want my husband to ride for me. So, like, it is very complicated. I'm trying to look at it.

35:31And I don't know. I just, Team Beckham. I'm like, sorry, Team Beckham. Not Peltz Beckham? No. Continuing on, so then he said. Wait, now it makes a lot of sense why they did that freaky Peltz Beckham thing. The name, the name, the name. My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family no matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. my mom has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both uncomfortable. This is so Queen Elizabeth. Despite this, we still travel to London for my dad's birthday. So this is where everything deteriorated most recently, the birthday party.

36:01We traveled to London for my dad's birthday and we were rejected for a week as we waited in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all of our attempts unless it was at this big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner. When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later when my family traveled to LA. They refused to see me at all. Okay, so obviously something happened between when everyone was harmonious and the 50th birthday party, and he's just leaving that out. He didn't say they come to London, I only see Brooklyn, and nothing happened before that.

36:31Obviously, I don't know David Beckham personally. I just have a really hard time believing he was in the same country as his son and refused to see him, barring something crazy having already happened. Yeah, and refused to see Nicola. Something crazy happened. You left that out. Yeah, you can hate her, but you still have to see her. She's your daughter-in-law. Like, refuse. Or this is his version of events. But Brooklyn and Nicola were at the premiere of Beckham. Yeah. Something happened between that and London where he refuses to see his children. Duh. If he refuses. No, I think he refused to see.

37:06I think what we keep saying is like what Brooklyn is saying is true. He's just leaving out key things. Right, right. And painting everything in like the worst possible light. Yeah. anyways he says my family values public promotion and endorsements above all else brand beckham comes first family quote love so love is in quotes as if the love is not real is decided by how much you post on social media or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op so he's saying they're the family that poses yes even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations what professional obligations oh wait was it you making your girl cheese or you taking a picture on a blurry camera we've got out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show every party and every press activity to show our quote perfect family you know what i hate it's like him and nicola acting like they are doing a favor by lending their big names to going to a victoria secret the best thing that could have ever happened to you was sitting front row at a victoria beckham fashion show like acting like they are holier and better like than you know showing up for your mom is them doing her a favor like she's this fabulous when you have accomplishment no but also when you have a major accomplishment like your family shows up for you if you want your family to show up to your major accomplishments like have some correct then he says but the one time my wife asked for my mom's support to save displaced dogs during the la fires my mom refused okay well now the dogs i'm sorry that's just that can't be the whole truth i agree and also like

38:33yeah sorry yeah hold on hold on and also

38:40and I am an animal lover of all the things like that happened during the LA wildfires of such destruction such tragedy and the dogs of course being one of them you're going to reach out to this woman who you literally hate like it's like a last like you know no matter what like we're fighting the dogs again dogs are so important dogs are worth saving of course but not before people so i just i feel like that he but he just he wants like everyone to now cancel her because she hates dogs yeah she wouldn't save the dogs right dogs dogs dogs fuck them dogs fuck them raggedy old dogs i'm just telling you i'm not buying it like that's such a low blow like such a low blow it's so harry and megan the narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards i've been controlled by my parents for most of my life right that's that's their job sort of like what parents do.

39:35I grew up with overwhelming anxiety for the first time in my life since stepping away from my family. That anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. I'm sorry. This is Harry and Megan. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family. That is why we'll be moving to Canada. It's so Harry and Megan because the overlying thing is like all these, you said she said but all we want is peace and privacy and there aren't two people who want to be famous more than harry and megan except for brooklyn and nicola like and we we know nicola now but you guys forget because i remember back in the day like all she she was always like running around la hollywood being like an actress director whatever like coming from a very wealthy family you can just fund that sort of lifestyle so the this is sort of the life that she wanted and i'm sure when you She's famously exclusively dated Nepo families in an attempt.

40:32Remember the Anwar Hadid days? No, I don't. Oh, they dated for a very long time. That was her model era, of course. So please, elephants don't forget, okay? We know this is the life she's always wanted. And it's a life that being rich is amazing. And some people who are rich, it's not enough for them. They do also always want to be famous. So she is now. And it is what she's wanted, I think. So, well, what I always say is like, let's see what they do next. If they sail off into the sunset into a life of privacy and toxicity free, anxiety free, then like, you know what? Then what they said was true.

41:07They didn't want to be in the, they don't want to be on Netflix. They don't want to be at the red carpets. They just wanted their piece. And I will say the proof is in the pudding. Yes. We have to see what they do next. That's true. It just makes me really sad because like there's no winning for Victoria and David here because Because even if everyone takes their side, like even us, we're taking their side and we're laughing at this. Like, but it's her child. No, it's horrible. It's horrible. It's a nightmare. Like, it made me sick to read it. And to put out something like that is just wrong. Like, if you want to cut ties with your family, go ahead.

41:41You don't have to tell the whole world. And I just want them. They might have felt like the Beckhams were putting out all this stuff about them. We have been covering this, talking about this for years. And we have nothing. It's so mysterious. We had nothing concrete to go on and you just took a big shit in the middle of the room. And it was you, not them. No, it was you. And I think a lot of people are like, well, Nicola's controlling him. And Nicola wrote this. You know what? You were responsible as a grown man for your own actions. This is your, no, sorry, blood family. And I don't know. Like I said, I'm really never going, I'm always going to be biased when a situation like this because the person who's like, you know, spreading their legs, telling everybody what's going on inside their family home.

42:20I just find icky unless of course you have something really nefarious but this sounds like a lot of just interpersonal family wedding planning drama based on what he's told me clashing personalities hurt feelings and to take it this far I I actually find it deplorable and I don't know what the general like consensus is of people online like I think a lot of people are like good for Brooklyn you know you got to protect your wife wife priority and yes actually as a wife of course like your man should always but it feels like these two are so hell bent on being victims that they see everything through this like perspective perspective of victimhood when they're really not it sounds like he came from a family that gave him I mean if you've literally you have to see his photography book like it is an exercise in parental love because you know they funded that whole project like it's absurd his cooking shows like it's absurd it's a joke and so these are two people who I think found themselves like you know as a couple and I think they started to get like you know people were really into their courtship before the wedding Like, and I think they kind of got high on their own supply and like thinking that like, you know, they're this great power couple like Victoria and David and they're sort of like equals and peers with one another.

43:24So, yeah, we'll come to your show, but you better be grateful. It's like, well, no, you better be grateful. Yeah, that's the vibe I get. Yeah. And all those things like that you just said when you just take out the names and replace them with Harry and Meghan. Yeah. Stand true. So I'm glad that they've all found each other in this mean, cold world. That might be a good segue into our next story. You know what? It can be. We'll push number two. But there are so many parallels to Harry and Meghan. Our next story is that Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan, won't return for a third season on Netflix.

43:51And I just want to say it's actually a second season. It's not returning for it because the first season was shot. One and two were shot all at once. So they put out the first half and then they saved the second half and called it season two. But really, it was one season that they shot. And why would they not put out the second half? They already filmed it, no matter how season one performed. Now, I know all we do is talk about like projects that Meghan and Harry start and don't finish. So like this shouldn't be shocking. I am floored. I'm always floored when there's an admission of failure. Yeah.

44:16Even though like while the show was heavily criticized, it was heavily watched. Like it did chart on Netflix. Like the second season. Definitely less. Which debuted last August did not even make the list of the streamers top 10 shows in the U.S. the week it debuted. Oh, everything makes it. Everything makes it. Yeah. I think maybe like the intrigue only held people so because of course we're curious. And then we found out like it wasn't filmed at her house. And like it really was so surface level. And like we were just eating edible flowers. Very surface level. And I feel like I was a target demo.

44:46I'm always saying like, I want more cooking shows. I enjoyed bits and bobs of the first season, but at the end of the day, like there wasn't real value in the show and things takeaways for me. Like I, you know, you're not learning something cause she's not an educator and we're not learning with her. You know, someone come, there was just like not enough value to be taken from the show. You got to entertain, you got to educate, educate, like shows like that. You really have to either educate or, you know, it's outrageous and entertaining. And there wasn't any of that. Right. Like she was really trying to trick us into thinking like she was a professional and a lot of it was like very elemental.

45:19But even that, like these days, like aesthetic content does so well. It doesn't need to be. But there was just really like a like a serious sense of genuineness missing. Like, yeah, it was so scripted. It was so performative. You know, you could tell all of her guests. That was the first time she was meeting all of them, except for Daniel, the makeup artist. And like that was really just very uninteresting. But I'm shocked. I'm shocked at the admission but at a certain point like people like companies have to make money you can't just have this like house of cards so Meghan Markle's show We Love Megan won't be returning to Netflix multiple sources have told page six after the Duchess called the show quote a lot of work one insider said it's not she said that?

45:59I'm sure she said it in the context of a much larger thing how it's more it's a lot more work than I thought you know it's not returning as a series there have been conversations about holiday specials but there's nothing in the works yet said the insider crossing my fingers for a holiday special she did a holiday special this year right it was season two no was it it wasn't just a separate as ever with love holiday loving the holidays with in an as ever type of way i don't know um okay we do need to start a list of megan's failed projects only because there are so many confessions of a teenage founder yeah with love Megan now archetypes wasn't there um like a Disney plus initiative well there was an initiative was it an animated series and was it not Netflix how are they doing Netflix and Disney plus and also did she do a children's book yes she did uh or did Harry can you give me a list of all of Megan Markle's um projects in the last five years I think she did a children's book called The Bench The Bench yes that came and went quite quickly Harry still owes Random House two books two books so Netflix and TV okay they did the docu-series which I do feel like to this day is their most successful venture with Love Megan Heart of Invictus which is a documentary about Harry's involvement in the Invictus games oh and they're also making the polo documentary for Netflix polo is next Live to Lead which was a docu-series featuring leaders and influencers produced by Megan oh also known as Live to Lead in 2022 holiday specials and short form content including holiday episodes of With Love Megan and a short social media video content.

47:38Megan teased as a part of bigger content plans. Archwell. Oh, Meet Me at the Lake. Okay, we're waiting for that. Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, which is a documentary short. I'm not sure if it's come out yet. Let me just check. I just don't think documentary short is like where it's gonna... Product launches, of course, are Shelf Stable Food. Right, right. A Sether. Podcast. Female founder. and archetypes and then of course arch well okay so a sever is still going a sever is still going and let's see what happens with that i also saw somewhere in this article that like now she's going to focus more on like social content for her uh cooking and stuff more like bite-sized content but her social is a disaster un disaster like it's insane yeah i can't believe yeah so i I don't have hope for that.

48:34Yeah. I wonder how much money they have. Like, for real, for real. I'm sure they have many millions. But, like, they spend many millions. And they want more millions, you know? Yeah. They don't have as many millions as the people that they are hanging out with. The life post-royalty, like, once you're officially cut off, like, no matter how high you start, it's almost impossible to survive. Like, what was her name? Fergie. you eventually end up becoming like just a tabloid sort of rundown and these are two people who started with everything especially in America, like the adoration of America and it's just sort of like this tale as old as time no matter who you are, you could start out strong but it's not looking good No, it's not good and not even to make it for a third season a second shoot is rough are you ready for our next story if it's the heartbreaking devastating love is dead news that's brought to you by little spoon it is you know that moment when it's almost six o 'clock the kids are hungry and you're staring into the fridge holding a snack pouch two grapes and you have zero plan for dinner well turns out parenthood does not come with a meal plan so stop stressing over last minute meals and start using little spoon today's sponsor they deliver real food for babies toddlers and big kids straight to your door so meal time actually feels easy and i was just chatting with some moms that went to a music class and they were raving.

53:55Thanks, Koji. You're welcome. Our next story, Summer House stars Amanda Petula and Kyle Cook split after four years of marriage. Now, if you know anything about the marriage or the relationship that preceded it, quite literally nothing about this is shocking. There were also rumors. The shock to me is like the admission. That they did it. She did it. Yeah, that like so many seasons of like they have a it seems like not a flourishing relationship, but they're then at the reunion. No, we're good. We're strong. They love each other. We're happy. And then to be like, actually, no. Yeah, I do. Like, there's just this celebration happening for anyone that's found this out like Amanda's free.

54:34But like, I don't know. I really started to change my tune on it a couple like I feel like when I watch the most recent season, because the gas Kyle is this 40 year old man child. He's DJing. He's acting like he wants to be a serious person. He's not. He cheated on her. He's awful. He does inappropriate things. He fell asleep at a fan's house. But like that's her low life, you know? And she clearly loved him so much to put up with like an iota of the stuff that she put up with. I think anyone else would have walked away. But like she really loved him so much. I don't know. After all the things that they've been through, they had been through worse.

55:01Falling asleep at a fan's house is bad. But they had been through worse. And I don't know. At a certain point, I just started rooting for them because like she really loved him. Yeah, the love must be so strong that these things don't really register. I think falling asleep at a fan's house is bad. Falling asleep at a fan's house when you're married for four years, I think is worse than cheating in the early stage of your relationship. Yeah. Drunk, blackout, like whatever happened. It was like obviously a mistake. You know, it wasn't like he was carrying on an affair. Like I think falling asleep at a fan's house four years into your marriage is worse.

55:33I mean, it's all bad. You know, I think we're all mad. Yeah. But I just think that that is bonkers. It is. And I think it's a real like it just makes me sad. Like I'm not celebrating this like everybody else because like what I see is like a girl who just wasted so much time on this like real low life. Like, you know, I don't know how they were married for four years. They dated for many years before that. And she did get a lot out of the marriage, I think. But at the end of the day, like, I don't know. It's like, thank God they didn't have kids. Like for real. Yeah. Because a divorce when you don't have kids is such a low life.

56:07I wonder what was it for her. because the fan house thing happened months ago enough that it's in the preview for the coming season that hasn't even aired yet. So it happened over the summer, say. Right. A lot of people think it's like his newfound DJ career, but he like has been doing that on the low for a long time. Almost like we've seen two seasons of it. And it seems absurd, of course, but like this is a person whose job it is to party. It's like not that crazy. Yeah, it's like good for his alcohol brand. It's good for his reality TV career. But now it's six months after, more or less, falling asleep at a fan's house.

56:35Like, why now? Why now? Why this fan? what changed in their relationship that was different than a year ago or two years ago, or maybe it just compounds and it's like, I can't take this anymore. Yeah, and I'm curious because this was a marriage. Like, are we going to get the very sort of stereotypical, you know, call her daddy episode? He was texting other bitches, you know, and you find out like really what color their underwear was. Or that doesn't happen. Like, I don't feel like that happens a lot with people who are married. When you are kind of like, yeah. To me, it's completely like comparable to Tom and Katie.

57:07Oh great You're all about the great analogies today Oh well thank you so much Like two people who were married for what felt like Like longer and by the end Like they're so different How were they ever together Where it's going to feel like But like also the whole time people knew this was a bad marriage But they told us that their best friend's Bubba Rubba Shubba Bubba Rubba Shubba And so we're like okay Bubba Rubba You're right We're obviously like TV's not showing us something in the edit We're wrong Bubba Rubba Bubba Rubba And in a year from now It's going to feel like how were these two people ever married?

57:37Like Tom and Katie, how were those two people ever married? It's an amazing comparison. It's so true. So I'm curious, like if... And they never really turned around and were like, they did this. They were so terrible. No, they hate each other and they like leave mean comments on each other's Instagrams and stuff. But we never got a full expose because at the end of the day, it was a marriage. And even if you hate that person, like you should want to protect them publicly. But also because they were on reality TV, I think we saw what happened. Right. Nothing needed to be said. With Kyle and Amanda.

58:05One, whatever they want to share with us, they'll share on their show, like in their time. And two, we've seen it all play out. I don't think there's a lot of stuff that we don't know. I think, I don't think there's going to be like a sit down, tell all about things that happen in the marriage that we don't know. Maybe a sit down, tell all about how I'm feeling about it. Of course, of course. Now, where does this leave Summer House? Because like, yes, people break up Carl and Lindsay, but this was a marriage and like an eight year relationship. Does one of them have to go? I don't think so. I mean it's fucking crazy If they continue to spend the summer together Like I just want to say Especially because I really feel like A part of Amanda hates Kyle Like I mean how can you not He's so awful So it's not like Some people get divorced And it's like wrong It's Lindsay and Carl Lindsay hates Carl Right But they just weren't married They did not share a life For a year they did But they were very close Like this is like a more extreme version of that But when they ended their engagement It was like how could they be In the same house together and then they did it.

59:03Well, because I don't know if that would have been the case if she didn't end up getting pregnant and like literally new life, who dis? Like Carl is so yesterday's news. Like she literally had a baby like a year later. I think it would have been different. I don't know. Like, is she going to start dating? I mean, I feel like, and also I had seen something that like he had a cousin's wedding and she was at the wedding. Like, and even at BravoCon, people were like, they were living separately. They just finished filming the city. I feel like they've been broken up for a while. Yeah. And even before that, they were unhappy.

59:32So I feel like her being with someone else starting now would be fair to say. Yeah. I also think like, will it be Jesse Solomon? You're going to have to like pull Summerhouse from Kyle's cold dead hands. Like he's not going quietly. No. And I'm so curious, of course, about where this leaves, you know, the stock for lover boy. I do feel like at one time, like, you know, I forget who owns like what percentage, but they did not sign a prenup. So Amanda is entitled to half of whatever Kyle owns. Like, and I do feel like at one point it was like a really very valuable I do feel like it's kind of changed like I feel like Amanda would have been like you can have it like it's like it's yours and whatever like I think at one point like they were on track to like actually be a really successful beverage company and like maybe get acquired by like a but I don't feel like that's the case anymore so I could see Amanda being like listen I hate this marriage and if this is what's holding us together like just have it yeah I wonder how it will go I could imagine her and And also he's so wrapped up in it.

1:00:27Like it is his whole entire self. Like I think she might just be like, just have it and I'll take the dogs. I'm taking the dogs, dumbass. Yeah. This feels a little bit like Megan. Like I'm not surprised by it, but I'm surprised that it actually was admitted. Yeah. Like that we're doing it. Yeah. And I just like, I don't know. I'm not like, you know, everybody, the collective joy and celebration. Like it's sad. Like this is a girl who like literally wasted so much of her life. They probably been together 10 years. That's terrible. Like, what does she walk away from this marriage with? Just terrible memories.

1:01:01Yeah. It's sad. I feel bad for her. Yeah. But we'll see what happens in terms of the show. Yeah, I'm curious. And, you know, I do feel like this breathes, like, a little bit of an interesting life into Summer House. I feel like they kind of needed it. Well, I feel like this season looks to be good based on the preview, but it hasn't even come out yet. So this. Was there a trailer? Yeah. And then the end fan. That was just a trailer. Oh, right. Right, right, right, right. So I also think if they've been separated for months. We'll see the dissolution. It will happen on the show. Yeah. Because I do think that that's true.

1:01:28It's been reported for kind of months now, but everyone just sort of let them come to it in their own time. So it's not like they broke up yesterday. But there was also the announcement of like a spinoff-ish type of show of Summer House. So maybe like Kyle gets Summer House and Amanda gets the city. Oh, true. That would be good. That would be nice. But yeah, they finished filming the city right before BravoCon and they came in like literally right off set and they were like, oh, it's crazy. I think that's when the marriage ended. Oh, and that's actually a good platform for a new show to launch off of.

1:01:52Yeah. Love that. Very Sheena Shea, Eddie Cibrian. Our next story, some drama with the GlamBot director. Oh my God. I'm fucking obsessed with this. And I'm also confused because I was not entirely sure what, so I don't know if you know the guy. He goes really viral on TikTok. I've seen him before, but I didn't realize he was such a personality for like owning the GlamBot. So I don't know if he owns, that's my thing. So years ago, this guy who clearly like was the guy who would go to award shows with the GlamBot and like tell people, okay you have to stand here it's a three second camera turn it two seconds he gives them directions he started filming a lot of behind the scenes and you would see like celebrities come up you would see them do the glam bot and you would see like if they were friendly or not and an element of it not to be like well now that he's getting canceled i always knew he was bad but like there was an element of nefariousness to it because you're filming people they don't know and like these are people at a work event they're not always like because there's like a video of j-lo going viral now like she walks up to the glam but she's not rude or anything she's not like super chatty now people know they're being filmed they'll be like how are you how's your son he's eight right like you know they use it as an opportunity to be like i'm a good celebrity you know because at first he was filming and they were going so viral because it felt like this kind of like behind the scenes they don't know they're being filmed what are celebrities really like to the cast and crew but an element of it always felt like a little icky to me because like you're filming people without their consent he knew what he was doing when he would post videos like sometimes people would come up and so this jayla one's going viral recently she doesn't say a lot she's obviously done the glam about 1000 times she walks up she's like hi he's like it's a three second camera she's like she does her pose and he's like thanks so much and she like waves like she literally maybe says one word she's not rude but you know she's already having like a tough time and so it went super fast j-lo's rude to the cast and crew he ended up taking the video down so i just like i don't know his thing always like kind of bothered me also because just does he own the glam bot a fun fact that not a lot of people know is that the glam bot was actually created for the e-network by joseph khan the guy who directed a lot of taylor swift's music videos so in terms of who owns it I don't know maybe he like copycatted it and like brings it to award shows I don't know what his relationship with the intellectual property technology is but he's the guy and he's also made himself a celebrity like he gets he's like an influencer now so something about it always felt like a little icky to me I just want to say and now it turns out he's quite an icky individual because this exchange is getting leaked and I never even thought about it it's like a photo booth yeah you could book it for your own event and this woman reached out to him directly being like, I would like to be an email.

1:04:14I'm having a wedding. I would like to book the glam bot. What is the cost associated and how do I book? And what follows is the nastiest fucking exchange ever. Yes. So in a series of messages from 2019 that are surfacing now, she reached out to the book, the his search, she reached out to him to book the services of the glam bot, apparently for a wedding, but she was met with resistance from the filmmaker, the glam bot guy, who stressed that hiring him and the glam bot would be expensive. He said, quote, just so you were aware, the glam bot is a camera system and personnel, used by a network television station for one of the biggest red carpets of the year.

1:04:46Okay, can I read the whole exchange? Sure. She reached out, put in an inquiry, and he goes, hi, Yinka, thanks for reaching out. Just so you are aware, the Glambot is a camera system and personnel used by a network television station for one of the biggest red carpets of the year. It is not cheap. If you feel like this is something that might be within your budget range, I am happy to discuss further. So the girl was pretty much unfazed. The girl is very wealthy. She goes, yeah. She said, hi, Cole. Yeah, it's something in my budget range. Smiley face. Thanks. He responds, hi, Yinka. Copy. I don't see how you could be since I didn't say how much it was.

1:05:25And it could be between$10 ,000 and a million. Okay. But to her, it could be a million. It doesn't matter to this woman. He says. She says. Sorry. Yeah. She says. Yeah, I just assumed it was very pricey since it's featured. at the Oscars. So what are the steps to book? Would you be the person that comes? Do you just work with them for carpets? What's the rundown? All very good questions that I myself am also wondering. It's a crew of about 15 people plus network setups, rehearsals, gear drop off, camera rental, lighting rentals, insurance permits, et cetera, et cetera. He's saying that's what happens at an award show.

1:05:59We really don't give a fuck. We're trying to book it for our wedding. For some drunk friends. He's just like trying to be impressive to this random woman. She said, okay, so where would I begin? through you or through a website. He says, this is where it really gets crazy. Okay, it's$300 ,000 and I'll take a 10 % deposit to secure the gear and once I have the deposit, I can do a contract. Ready to get started, question mark? She said, thanks, Cole, I'll reach out by Monday. He says, if you wanted to know how much it costs, you needed to ask, you just needed to ask. You don't need to pretend you're gonna book it.

1:06:35She said, I did, that's why I asked. I want to book it. That's the end of the exchange. What an asshole. Yeah, a lot of thoughts. So his defense is that, like, you know, someone could just, like, reach out. And I'm sure it happens a lot. No, like, inquire and just sort of, like, put him on blast. Like, this is what it costs. But I don't think anyone would expect for it to be cheap. If it got leaked that, like, the glam bot costs$300 ,000 for you to be at your wedding, like, I think people would be like, okay, so don't have the$300 ,000 glam bot at your wedding. And to be clear, I thought it was, like, so expensive that you couldn't even get it for a private event.

1:07:04Like, it never even occurred to me. So, yeah, I would have found that fact interesting. and I imagine he does get like a lot of annoying inquiries from like fans like Stan Twitter. So don't run an internet business like this is what you wanted and this is what you got. However, I would like to see just to like know where this all landed like did any her wedding. Oh, yeah. Could she have afforded the glam bot? Oh, yes, yes. Very much so. Okay. And then of course, like, you know, the picture that shows he's now being accused of racism because she's like a black woman. And so it's like, well, what?

1:07:33You didn't think a black woman could afford it? Is that why you were being so nasty? so nasty and so rude and condescending yeah and apparently she's like you know a Nigerian princess like she could have afforded it and then some oh my god I'm crying that's what I read on Twitter so just like you know that's the wedding like you can swear yeah it was a lovely affair glam botless of course she had three beautiful ceremonies of her yeah like it wasn't a budget thing that's why like she reached out and she was just like whatever it's gonna be like it's gonna be he's like an asshole someone said Mind you, Yinka had been keeping that email thread since 2019.

1:08:08Oh, is it from 2019? Yeah. Committed to seeing the downfall of an enemy. But why did she just post this now? I don't know. Oh, that's funny. I didn't know it was from 2019, but it's literally going so viral. Yeah, that's really crazy. Like, just when someone wants your service, just send the, send the, how much it costs. Also, it also felt like he was pulling$300 ,000 out of thin air to be like, oh. Yes. No, he made it up. Yeah. Okay. Unprofessional. Unprofessional. It's funny that this happened in 2019 because when I think about the trajectory of the glam bot career, that was his heyday, 2019.

1:08:42Oh, no, wait. Because 2020 was COVID. So he was acting like this before he really popped off. In the beginning of the glam bot. No, but I'm talking about him and his personal. Because it sounds like maybe he got famous and got to be an asshole. But in 2019. And I imagine 2019, before he got famous, he wasn't getting rogue emails from people reaching out. It would have been a real customer. Yeah, so he was an asshole before the fame, which is frightening. yeah but having a glam bud at your wedding would be sick such a slay such a slay never even thought about it i need to get married again and get three hundred thousand dollars and the thing about the i don't even think it's 300 i don't even think it's 300 000 because actually what i saw was somebody was like and again i have to stop falling for ai because i saw somebody going on the website being like it's actually five thousand dollars like it's not even that crazy because it's just a video with slow-mo yeah what are we talking about maybe the network one is like a bigger deal but like it's just a video on a neck a camera on a neck that swivels and then you slow it down i feel like any that's a good business idea someone should do an at-home glam bot and then like bring it to wedding okay a glam bot rental for an event for according to google gemini typically costs around three to six thousand dollars for the setup for the standard package including setup and attendant and then unlimited videos with instant sharing yeah it's not that proprietary actually for large activations corporate events costs can jump to like 13 ,000.

1:10:02Yeah. And like the one that's like 360 where everyone's like, damn. Exactly. Like, yeah. Like Gerald. Yeah. Right. Photo booth, event photo booths, like a really sophisticated. It's not what it once was. It used to be like the biggest, get any of them for any event. Like for, I didn't even question 300 ,000. Me neither. And now that I'm thinking about it, it's one camera and on like a fancy. On a neck. Yeah. And then you slow it down. Like what you could do in your phone. Yeah. You could do a homemade glam. Not that crazy. You could do a homemade glam bot. And I don't know. I just feel like the, like, I always felt like his intentions with the behind the scenes celebrity videos, like, always rubs me the wrong way.

1:10:41Now celebrities know. So, like, they know when it's glam bot time, their publicists are like, the whole thing's filmed. Be nice. Whereas before, you were walking on a carpet, you're at a work event, you smile for the glam bot, and then you go on about your day. You're not, you're schmoozing. And so him, like, filming everyone and setting it up, and at first, like, for the first, like, year or two, people didn't, like, know that they were being filmed. It just felt icky to me. so I just want to say I was praying for his downfall especially if the crime like J-Lo is just being quiet like short and quiet you know no one's like barking orders correct I don't know I didn't like it our fifth and final story Traders recap let me get a stretch you know what I might need my sunglasses too so two episodes were released Traders spoilers incoming this is pretty much the end of the show so if you haven't caught up have a great day we'll see you tomorrow Okay, so the first episode The second episode is where like the big things happened And where I really have a lot to say about Colton V.

1:11:36Michael Rappaport, and I have been like a staunch Defender of Michael Rappaport because I just felt like This entire time like he's been himself He is just like loud mouth, housewives obsessed And like that's who they cast and that's what they wanted And that's what they got, and then I do feel like A lot of people were, you know, unfairly Coming for Michael, and then this episode Like if you hated Michael Yeah, put him on

1:12:00it was michael v colton and i just i i have no problem with what michael said i hate colton okay so let's just talk about let's get right to the meat and then we'll talk about other stuff because they were all accusing one another um of and i just want to say up until now everyone's been hating that colton's on the show they've been saying you know the cassie and he's really crazy like people in this sphere we're always talking about cancel culture you know like you know somebody says a popular an opinion that's unpopular they get canceled brands whatever they're never allowed to leave their house again but i feel like when we talk about cancel culture a lot of times we like loop in like you know criminals like kevin spacey i'm not talking about kevin spacey okay i'm talking about like camilla cabello and her old tweets like you know what i mean yeah there are levels like i actually like cancel culture for men who stalk women and put gps trackers on their car like call me crazy i don't feel like that's the same as like having tweets from high school like I don't when I'm talking about cancel culture I ain't talking about Colton Underwood because you know what I want him to be canceled like he's a crazy person okay so you are never gonna find me defending Colton Underwood and I feel like this has been like you know he thought he was real this is show is so big and it really makes he thought it was this renaissance of the very like Dylan Efron edit like I think he thought like this is my time and he came in with his sweater vests and his fun oh are you gay did you play football for 17 years Say it again.

1:13:20We don't give a fuck. Okay. He's so bothering me so much. And then the comment. Yeah. And I think he wants to like glaze over his time on reality TV because like it is murky, you know, questionable. Not like, first of all, the fact that he was on the show, The Bachelor dated 33 women. He says both. He kind of talked about it because he said at the breakfast that he didn't know he was gay when he was on The Bachelor. Because some people don't know him there. He's like not really famous, like in this new reality TV world. Everyone's like older. They didn't watch Colton Caesar. So someone's like, oh, you were the bachelor?

1:13:52Or they're younger, like, and they didn't watch Colton Caesar. So they know he's gay, but they're like, oh, wait, you were the bachelor? And he was like, yeah, but I didn't know I was gay. So he says it that morning. Yeah. He dated 33 women on national television, like in pursuit of marriage, and he didn't know he was gay. That's what he said. Right. And then at the roundtable, when his, you know, coming out timeline is being discussed, he's saying, well, are you saying that I'm going to keep being a secret because I kept a secret for 29 years? Well, I thought you didn't know for 29 years. He said, you think it was fun for 29 years of my life, like keeping that secret.

1:14:20So did you know or didn't you know? We can talk about that. But also, I think he wants to glaze over that whole era because it ended with him stalking his ex-fiance. She had a protective order against him. She had a restraining order against him. He put a tracker on her car. There were like harassing text messages. Her whole family. And so that's actually, I don't think anybody like really takes umbrage with the fact that Colton was the bachelor and now he's gay because like. Who cares? Shit happens. No, and it's like, it's TV. Okay. And it's like he's living. I'm sure, you know, he played football in the NFL.

1:14:47I'm sure he had like a very long journey to like, of course, an uneasy one. Right. So like no one is like was mad that Colton was a bad guy. But that chapter of like stalking his ex is if you like you could take issue with Colton for that. Oh, and I do. Mind you. Right. Justice for Cassie Randolph. So he kind of wants to glaze over the whole thing and just be like Colton on Traders. And I will say for the first few episodes, I was enjoying his arc on Traders. I felt like he was really playing the game hard. But then he started playing too hard. And this to me was like the demise of his arc on the show when he came after Tiffany, like all of a sudden, really sort of baseless.

1:15:23She's sitting there crying like the whole room sort of devastating. And he's like whipping up votes and he can just like decide who is going to be the traitor. And then he's a very compelling, charismatic guy. People really listen to him. Yeah. And in the first few episodes, I was enjoying it, too. Like he's he's putting together things. And it's a shame because he's overplayed his hand at this point. And his next theory, he's actually on to something with Lisa Rinna. Yeah, but it's too bad. But so with Tiffany, like that was really sad to see. And I could also imagine like this game is like sort of a mindfuck.

1:15:50You think someone's a traitor. You're going to go hard for them. So he goes so hard for Tiffany. She's sitting there crying. Like Michael Appelfort said, she felt crazy, alone and isolated and she gets sent home. So the next day he's back at it again. Wait, mind you, like what he just did is the crime. They will not let Ron off the hook for. And Ron actually had evidence. The whole point of this game is like you have to accuse someone. It's not a crime to accuse someone. It's not a crime to be wrong, especially if you came to he convinced me. And like he really she did flub her work multiple times.

1:16:20It wasn't like he pulled this thing out of thin air. Literally, Colton went off of vibes like so baseless that like his crime to me is more egregious. He should have been sent home immediately. And also it's like it's not a crime to get it wrong. It's the point. But like Michael Rapoport said the next day, like you have egg on your face. Maybe take a backseat. you know your sniffer is off and he's like well if i miss a shot i'm shooting again let's take a sip of water before your next shot let me rethink yep we strategize you know work on your shot so then comes the comment like so they're going back and forth michael is now his new target he's going to try to get everyone like i just want to say leading up to that i felt like colton was going too hard and and knowing that michael's obviously not the traitor like he's wrong like he does need to reassess the things that he thinks make someone a traitor because you went so hard and you were so wrong.

1:17:08He also was taking credit for calling out Donna as the traitor when he was not the one with that original idea. Like he thinks he like that is a win in Colton's pocket. He did not vote for Donna in the first round table. He was a bandwagon Donna. Yeah. So they're having the conversation and Michael, you know, is being accused of being a traitor. So his sort of strategy is like, you're the traitor. Actually, you're the one pointing fingers at everyone. And, you know, if anyone here is going to keep a secret, it's you. Yeah. He said, I'm he said, just like Tiffany last night, I'm angry. I'm pissed off and I'm isolated because of him.

1:17:38And nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you. Which is, so now immediately Colton took it as like, oh, homophobic. You're saying because I held in a secret for 29 years, even though this morning I said I didn't. Because I held in a secret for 29 years that I'm gay, that I would be a good traitor. And everybody's clutching their pearls. Johnny Weir is going to pass out. Like, and they immediately sent him home because they literally just decided in that moment he's a homophobe. Nobody wants to be like touching the homophobe. and it's like Michael, rip Michael Rappaport. Here lies Michael.

1:18:06In that moment, Michael Rappaport was banished. And it's funny. And I do believe that Michael Rappaport did not mean that because he has no idea at first why everyone's like so, I guess. He's like... He doesn't even know to apologize. He has no idea what's going on. Because he didn't know that he said something that could be perceived as so wrong. And immediately once it's made clear to him what they think he said. Because Johnny Weir said the closet and Michael's like the closet I'm not talking about that right he's like and I don't even know if Michael knows about all the Cassie stuff but like yes oh and by the way he does not it is a deceitful person who would do something like that Michael's like no you just are and I think his vibe Colton like coming into the show he's so amped up on like the show and playing the game and I think he really wanted to be the traitor and that's what Michael's saying it's like no and Michael's also accusing him of being able to hold a secret not because he's was closeted but because Michael believes him to be a traitor like right so So the crew, like the vibe shifts immediately.

1:19:03Michael is sent home in that moment. Everybody ends up voting for him. Even Johnny Ware was like, I don't care who you are. I want you out of my castle. Girl, I didn't even forget you were here. Like, I want you out of my castle. That was not it. Now, the reason I'm wearing my glasses is I just want to say one thing. I do not believe that Michael Rappaport meant that. I really, really don't. Also, because Michael Rappaport seriously can't help himself. And if he meant that, he would say, yeah, I meant that. He thrives off of moments like that. So yeah, he would have gone down in a blaze of glory.

1:19:33He doesn't care. He would have gone hard. He would have doubled down and been like, yes. And I meant it. As far as Michael knows, given the conversation that was had that morning, Colton didn't hold a secret for 29 years. He was just a late in life gay guy. The thing is, Colton is always talking about his sexuality. And I'm telling you, nobody gives a fuck. Nobody cares. He's always talking about how he's gay and he played football for 17 years. Nobody cares. Like he's just one of those people who thinks that everybody's always thinking about him. And so when he's sitting there like so victim.

1:20:01And there it is. Yeah. And he just went from being like the biggest baddest in the house. And that's what's bothering me about this show. It's like everybody came on first episode like trash talk. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to murder. I'm going to taste your blood. And I'm going to like it. Yeah. And Michael framed something in a way that they found offensive. Everyone's like oh. Fletcher. And all of a sudden stop the game. They know he's a faithful. Send him home even though he's a faithful. I can't believe he said that. And it's like you guys are talking about killing each other, how you're going to be like the baddest, nastiest person in the house, lying to people.

1:20:31They're telling you they're these traitors. They're opening up opening up to you and you're going to use it against them. And because Michael framed something in a way that felt unwoke to you. Oh, stop the game. And I just want to say shout out to like the very few people at that table who did not vote for Michael. Because the people that voted for Michael did not actually at that point even think that he was a traitor. They just wanted to be marked safe as like woke from cancellation. But I actually think and they just wanted that. I think they also want to do what they think the fans are going to want them to do.

1:20:59And from what I've seen, like people do not feel the way they thought they were going to feel about this. For the most part, nobody thought Michael meant that. It would have been a crazy thing to say. Despite the fact that everybody does dislike Michael. Like he's not popular online, but I actually think Colton's less popular. Yeah. And in this moment, they're like, no, that's he was actually saying like true things about Colton. And all of that was missed. and everybody like with their backs up, like pearls clutching. Like it was so loser. It was so phony. Yeah. I feel like there's like an SNL sketch that like mimics what this was because it was just like the most performative.

1:21:36I want you out of my castle. Meanwhile, hasn't impacted the show in the smallest way. Like shout out to Stephen Coletti for still voting for Ron. And Candace. Candace and Lisa both voted for Ron, but like they have ulterior motives. So like it was just like a real exercise in group thing, right? Like it was so like herd mentality. It really like I now believe that this group of people to be the biggest losers on the planet. Like I thought it was so lame. And if they don't like Michael, like they found the show be like filming with him unpleasant like that. I understand. But under the guise like framing him as a homophobe, which really I do not believe that he is like was so fucking lame.

1:22:12It was just the lamest group of people doing the lamest thing. Like the theme was lame. Yeah. I do not think he meant that. I cannot stand Colton. It was like the best thing to happen to him in that moment. Yeah. And also the heats off of him. They're not going to vote him out at the next round table. That would be homophobic. Yep. As well. However, will the traitor send him home now that he's on to Lisa Rinna? He did say that in front of a group of people. So I do think that that would be curious if they sent him home. But I also think he might have picked up a shield. I think he might have picked up a shield too.

1:22:40And yes, it was unfortunate that he said it in such a big group of people because it, one, makes him suspicious of everyone in that group, Rob. And two, it kind of confirms Lisa as a traitor. Yeah. But when Lisa found out, that was so funny. Fucking Colton, fuck. But she actually is sort of playing it wrong because she has been really quiet. And even though Candace, you know, I'm team Monique, Candace is playing it really well. And the sunglasses is a great call by Colton. And the over-the-top reactions when they come in and then not really putting her neck out there at the round table. Which like regular Lisa Rinno would.

1:23:11Right. So Candace is like speaking enough that you think that she's so safe. I mean, Johnny and Tara trust her so much they're about to let her in on their big secret. I can't wait for them to just reveal like, we're best friends for life and everybody's like okay um like seriously nobody cares like they are just I think they really think they're doing something yeah and I think Rob's also playing a really good game but also because people don't know him that much so they don't know what to expect but what bothers me is like Michael was so entertaining on the show he had so many good one-liners like I will miss his presence and then like when Maura's really bothering me she's like stop talking you talk too much it's like girl you don't talk enough yeah anyone want to say something at this round table does anyone want to bring something forward everyone is so scared of me Like, yes, when you put something out there, you now have a target on your back.

1:23:53But like what? You're just going to hide your way through the show? No, the show rewards like pacifism. Like hiding and being forgotten about will get you far. And that I just think is the flaw in this show. Because the more interesting you are and the more vocal you are, the more likeliness that you won't last very long. Yeah, but also it protects you because the traders don't want to eliminate distractions. Yeah. But your fellow faithfuls will eliminate you because they're dumb as fuck. No, the roundtables are actually a sociological. sociological they are the stanford prison experiment like it is so fascinating to see how like in a group different personalities mesh and how like easy it is for people to just become so caught up in like actual like fantasy yeah it was really interesting and i agree more is giving nothing except for you know being carried around by rob which i ship wholeheartedly if more and rob fall in love then it will all have been worth it you're a traitor what is she gonna do when she out Rob is a traitor.

1:24:46I wonder if Rob will like sell out one of his own for his love, Maura. I also read something that I about Candace and Rob. Yes. That they're like not on good terms right now from like what happened. Because I was also thinking it would be who of a traitor to put up the name of a fellow traitor at the roundtable and get them eliminated. They're seen as a traitor. You know, so traitors will have to turn on each other at some point. And I think Rob is ready to run from these two. Not only that, but Rob is going to help his fellow traitor to a certain point and again he sees these like two cackling hags who are not taking it seriously and so he told her he did his due diligence it didn't sound like he wanted to fight that hard for lisa rin no and if he's been in the colton voting block this whole time he can't change his stance yeah yeah yeah i can't wait but every night bang gets into bed we have more traitors it's the best show yeah i know and it's like when i'm watching it i'm like oh these people there's a stupid this or the stupidity but then like when it ends I'm like I I feel a withdrawal yeah I really are the best part I would love to like binge it well you could binge last season I could but I don't want to get confused and it would be interesting to know are the people who are always the loudest never the traitors you know I just feel like also it's very different every year I think they choose different types of people and then also like different personalities mesh and like some seasons rewards the quiet people and some seasons don't yeah and I feel like for the faithfuls they can't really just go on what happened last season oh there was two gamers as traitors last season which means we got to get rid of the gamers like yeah you need a tabular asset it's almost better if you haven't watched because you don't have these preconceived notions of what it should be right and like rob watched and studied and knew a murder in plain sight was happening and he got his ass out like knowledge is not power right right justice for michael rapaport yeah and for the viewers because his presence will be missed conniving colluding commiserating colton and justice for tiffany oh that was devastating and like canis is like such an empath i actually like also felt really like i could see why she got so choked up was also just good for her image you know as a traitor yes but also i don't understand why tiffany voted for jam jam that night because the vote was between her and ron so why wouldn't you put more votes in the ron like she's a gamer That's like 101.

1:26:58You don't vote for the third party that has no chance. Well, first, oh, sorry. Your things are written down before you see anyone else's vote. Oh, I guess also there must be so much more roundtable discussion. I don't think they knew in that moment that she was going home. No, no, no. But it's like the people were targeting her and Ron. Why vote for someone that no one's really talking about? Maybe there was like a convo about Jam Jam. Unless there was extensive conversation about Jam Jam. Maybe there was and they cut it because it's uninteresting. Yeah. Okay, well, that's our show. Tomorrow has, we pushed your toasters to tomorrow because we've got to get this episode up.
