Good morning. It's the It's Jackson Claude and we're your host. It's your favorite show. The best five things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's the toast. They sound amazing.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Oh, that's right. confusing because we got so much [ __ ] [ __ ] to do today. We had to push Dear Toaster. Sorry to the DTQ. Don't want to be rushed. Today's episode feels different. It feels like we are on the precipice of something huge.

Why? Okay. And I feel like everybody's tuning in today for different reasons. Like of course Brooklyn's eight-page statement like needs to be dissected. And I can't I can't be rushed through that. Like he took his time with the statement. It's only right that we take time.

And also it's been a long time coming. Like years of speculation. And we've talked about this story over and over again and like now we have concrete answers.

Like today would have been a big day like for any one of these things. First of all, we need to talk about like just our weekends. Like we are important people.

Like we played majong. How did that We played Maan twice since you last saw us.

Correct. So like we are important people. The traitors. I have so much to say about the traitors. And actually I know I said that I was going to try and bring like my sunglass Robbie Hoffman energy to this episode like to this show this year like without having to wear my sunglasses. I have so many things to say today that I feel like I'm going to get cancelled for that I might just like be wearing my sunglasses the entire time.

I agree. And my feelings on Traders like haven't changed since I watched it a few days ago. So, I feel prepared to share.

I have to share my unpopular opinions on Traders. I have to share my unpopular, extremely biased opinions on Brooklyn and Nicola. I have to share my extremely um kind of like years in the making hot take about the guy who runs the Glambot. And now I'm like so excited that he's in the news. Um what else we discussing today?

Kyle and Amanda. Kyle and Amanda. Kyle and Amanda. And for some reason, like when Kyle and Amanda got divorced, so many people thought of us, which I'm not sure whether to be flattered or offended.

I thought of us, too. Well, of course, like K like if I have I have two enemies.

Not to make it about us. Of course not. I have two enemies like on this earth. And of course, Kyle Cook, the low life, is one of them. So, you know, a bad day for Kyle is a good day for coaches. Welcome to Cojer's Corner. Um, I do have like mixed feelings on Amanda because like she's my up until recently like was my greatest enemy's partner. Like, so I don't really know how to feel about her. Um,

now she may be the enemy of your enemy air. Correct. I'm looking forward to the DM.

Your friend. So, I just have like a lot of feelings, a lot of unpopular opinions, and I feel like I might need my glasses even though I got new glasses. Yeah. Oh, we also went shopping.

She has a tortoiselle glass. You have a tortois shell glass. They're from real Florida. Okay. So, I have now two.

You're not a tortois shell glass sort of girl. That's not true. This is my second pair like that I have in my purse right now. So,

what are the others? Versace. Oh, Versace. Well, this is I just want to give like a shout out to Ralph cuz this is now the second time where I've done like a big purchase at Ralph. It's such an underrated store and I realized that both times so the last

Ralph Lauren. Well, the last time I I shopped, she's not at the ice cream shop.

Ralph Lauren or Ralph Lauren? Depends. I say Ralph Lauren. The last time I did a haul at Ralph Lauren was over the summer in the Hamptons when we were shopping um in Southampton. And then

over the weekend we took a trip to Palm Beach and we went walking around Worth Avenue like the fanciest and like honestly it was kind of discouraging like walking into those stores. So I just want to give a shout out to Ralph for like always being at those fancy stores. And of course it's still expensive but it's a much more um palatable price range I think. And so that's why I have now found myself like buying stuff twice at Ralph Lauren just cuz it was like cheaper than the other stores. And I love everything that I get.

Yeah. It's also just cute. These sunglasses $130. Love them. M which is like a lot for sunglasses.

I think it you've never worn a tortois shell on the show before. So Oh, on the show. No, I haven't.

So I I do feel like Oh, you're taking them off. Well, I don't have anything scary to say yet.

Okay. I feel like Yeah, I feel like my opinions are like I kind of have the craziest thing to say like when it comes to traders. So like we'll get there.

Okay. I'm really excited for Traiers. Me too. It was so good. It was really fun to watch and I have a lot of strong feelings. So that's always my favorite. We'll recap it. Fifth and final story at the end.

Let's chat about our weekends. Yeah. Before we get into the stories, let's talk. We had such a great weekend. We had a long weekend, a strong weekend.

We did have a great weekend. Although, I will say I had three like sort of medical episodes this weekend, which sort of like soured the great weekend. At first, I had my Is your blood sugar low? I had a blood sugar like crash when we were in Palm Beach. So, like I was kind of in medical distress for about 30 minutes. That was really scary. Um and then I got hit with a a 1-hour migraine the next day. And then um last night just sort of like an episode um with my stomach and then this morning I got my period. So like I'm just not feeling like 100% you know.

Well I think the last thing that you said the other ones I'm sorry like a 30-minute episode a 1hour migraine like fabulous

Jackie when it comes to migraines but what you've just shared with us your truth co-jourer's truth. And what's funny is like the thing about periods is like at least when they're like the way they're supposed to be. It's like

I just want you to know if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known. Thank you.

Maybe it's because of all the news and like there's so many distractions, but it's not written all over your face. Like it's not oozing out of you in a metaphorical sense,

but in a medical sense it is. Yes. So I want you to know you're putting on a brave face. We would have and you're wearing white. Yeah.

Which really throws us off. The funny thing about period not 50 shades of red. The funny thing is like, you know, when they're done, right? They're supposed to be like really predictable, right? Like you're supposed to know. But let me tell you, there isn't a time that I don't get my period and I'm like,

what? What is this? Like when I tell you, I could have like seen a rat on the toilet paper and I would have been less shocked. Like it is Why is it so shocking? I know it happens every month. It's been happening every month since you're regular again.

I'm right on schedule. I have like a 30 31day cycle. I'm day 30. Like it could not have been more timely. And when I tell you I've never been more shocked, surprised in my life, like what do you mean?

Yeah. Especially after you have such a long hiatus, you sort of like forget that this is a part of your womanly your womanly wild.

Uh and it can be staggering. The cost of a boot is staggering, you guys. My jaw hit the floor.

Okay. It was shocking. I'm I am sorry that you're going through. I know how much it it it takes from you.

And like I was going to go to the beach today. Like it's just I don't think we're going to the beach today, by the way.

Oh, it's like cold. Oh, you're not like a water sign, so that's kind of stuff bothers you.

It's just like it doesn't scream beach. We'll chat. We'll chat later. I do want to say that I feel like in the past whenever um I've seen like people from New York or Florida like wearing puffer coats when it turns like under 70 degrees, I'm like these people are so dramatic, they could never. But I do feel like your body just sort of adjusts. Like it is a little It's like 66° today and like I put my heated steering wheel on. I used to think it was like a person thing, but I do think like when you just move to a warmer weather like you become a weaker individual.

It's just all relative. Yeah. Like 66 is your 30, right? Whereas like if it was 66° in your I'd be sweating my ass off and I'd be complaining like I hate this [ __ ] weather.

Yeah. So it's a it's a situation. It's situational. Well, I didn't wear a puffer. It's going to It's going to warm up, but I don't think warm enough for the beach.

We played a ton of ma jang since we seen you guys last. We're getting really good.

Yeah, that like I said, like my New Year's resolution is to get good. And I feel like I feel like I'm getting good. I'm also playing with people who are like worse than me. So, it's hard to It's like it's a good practice, but I need to start playing with like an elite crew, you know?

Yeah. Well, we've got some games lined up. We do have games lined up. And it's just like So, I love the activities where you just sit and like actually don't move, but you're still being stimulated. Yeah. Um, and that's that is ma jang to the team.

It's definitely for us because Ben was like, "Why did you have such a good time when you played on Wednesday?" And I was like, "Because we literally sat. We did not move." And I didn't even realize first of all we played for three hours. And like I had snacks, I had great conversation, I had stimulating gameplay and it's but I also never moved. So everything kind of came to me and that's my favorite.

Mhm. My favorite type of game. Yeah. What else did we do this weekend? Oh, the kids saw a new movie yesterday at the movie theater.

Not mine. We don't do screen time. So I got They saw David. You know, Zach's always dying to go to the movies and he

did he use his his pass? Oh, I don't know. I got to tell you. I bet it's fire now. Like,

but they they said it was amazing. Well, last secret Santa, I got like one of the most thoughtful amazing gifts and it was for your husband cuz he loves going to the movies. Um, so I got him like the AMC annual pass where you get one ticket a month, you get 50% off a companion ticket, you get 50% off concessions. And I had a feeling,

wasn't it a one-year thing, though? Yeah, but one every month. Okay. But the year is over.

Oh. And I don't know if there is rollover. I feel like we've had this conversation. And if there was rollover to be had, like my husband would be using it

and he would have 12 tickets and he literally took 12 people including all the kids to the movies yesterday. So

yeah. Interesting. And you can confirm that during the year-long period that the subscription was active, he did not go to the movies once.

We definitely went maybe once. Do you think he used it? I think he used it like once, but you bought it for him in like the year of no movies for like now the kids are at an age where like if there's something good out like it could be a special thing to go to the movies and he might use it more now. But all to say, they had a great time at the movies yesterday. They Olivia and Zach said the movie was amazing. I actually want to see it. It's about King David.

That's my king right there. You know, right? That's my king right there. I've heard really good things, so that's always nice to see. They said the music was amazing. They said it was like greatest showman,

you know. I'm sorry. That's that's big words. No, that's big like praise. Yeah. No, like if you're saying it's like the music is like greatest showman level, like this is the greatest movie of all time.

Here you want to go see it with the exception of that one scene. The bearded lady and her friends acting.

No, but that scene is really good. I'm sorry. You know what scene like is kind of boring to me.

Let me think. Let me think. Scene. Don't say rewrite the stars. Rewrite the stars. I do feel like that's an original thought. It doesn't bother me, but it's not my favorite by any means.

Yeah, there are a couple scenes with like Charity, you know, Charity so over her. Cancel Charity. Charity is over party.

Charity Barnum. Yeah, I can't like Yeah, you know how I feel about Charity. And of course, Jenny Lind. And like I know I keep criticizing so

I know I keep criticizing the movie, but it's important to remember it is the best movie made ever.

Yeah, but nothing is immune to my criticism. I just want to say yeah. No, greatness is not without nothing's perfect.

I forgot to tell you something. You're being talked about on the talk. What did I do?

So, I saw this like viral video and it was like about, you know, three products disrupting their respective industries. I know you're going to

my wipes. My pets. Three products disrupting their respective industries. Camera counselor.

No. And one of them was Dazzler Dry. And this video went like mega viral. Just people talking about like and the girl was like, you know, and shout out cuz I've been hearing about Dazzler Dry for years from Jackie O. And I was like, "Okay, not Jackie O mentioned."

Jackie mentioned and the video the video wasn't wasn't like about you. No, no, no. But like I'm disrupting the industry. It I'm part of the disruption.

Um, you are a factor in the disruption. Yeah. That is so exciting. And I'm being that I'm talked about in a positive way.

Correct. As if you could talk about Jackie in any other. I wish I had stock in the Daz. Yeah. You really were like very much ahead of your time with the Daz.

Yeah. Did I talk on this podcast how I got a regular manicure by accident? like Essie.

No, it's insane that Essie and OPI like aren't in financial ruin. What a piece of [ __ ] product. Like regular manicures. And I made a Tik Tok about this and like there was a lot of discourse cuz like I haven't gotten a regular age-old manicure. I I can't even remember.

Well, at least OPI now does gel, right? I used to be like a gelaholic and then when I got pregnant, Jackie turned me on to Dazzlin. I actually liked it so much I didn't need to go back. Um and I can't believe there are people out here paying. And let me tell you, it was $21. It's not like, oh, when we were kids, it was a $7 manicure. You know, maybe 3, four, five extra for tip. $21 for a manicure that literally shipped before I left the place. Like, it was insane. First of all, drying is archaic. And maybe I've been out of the game for so long cuz I don't dry.

Dazzle, you just sit there for they say 5 minutes and then you can go. I put my hands under. I'm like, "Ma'am, it's not on." And she was like, "It's a light. It's not a fan."

Light. Okay. I'm sorry. There was no way that it was dry. Even when it's a fan, there's nothing on. And they have their little fans at their desks. It's like, can I have a little fan, please? You got to use your stroller fan.

Getting an OG manicure is seriously not worth the price of admission. It was so I and like I get a manicure every week at home with my best friend Marggo and she always gets regular polish. She's just like weird like that.

That's why she's going every week. And I tried to put her on to Dazzle and she like wasn't dazzled by it. And I can't believe like that's the [ __ ] she's paying for. It's such crap. Like

I don't remember when this manicure is from. It's from Dazzle. It is more than 10 days old. Look at it.

Dazzle is dazzling. These are gold. Exactly. What else is disrupting the industry?

A couple products I haven't heard of like some uh noise uh what earplugs. Okay.

Um and then I can't lie, like after um I heard Jackie, I was like so excited I like left a comment and then I stopped watching like I was like not Jackieo visibility. Okay.

Jackieo visibility so important. Well, I guess we could get into the story. I actually have a big day today. I'm doing something today that I need to do that I haven't done yet that I'm like a little delayed but

Oh, is it a postpartum checkup? Postpartum checkup. my six week checkup. I'm doing it at 10 weeks. I just couldn't be bothered. Like towards the end of my pregnancy, I was going to the doctor two to three times a week. Like I'm not running back to the doctor. Give me my piece.

The thing is like if there was something going on like you would know. No. And also it's like you want the clear to be able to like take a bath, you know?

Oh, that is why I went to the doctor around in the sack. I went five out of five and a half weeks cuz I was like, can I

take a bath, work out? And it's like I'm not Well, it'd be nice to take a bath, but who's that time? It's like I'm not ready to do those things. So, it's like I'm not in any rush, but

I'm not in any rush to get weighed. Yeah, that too. Yeah, I remember at my six week, not to make your thing about me, I was told that I was obese. And I just feel like we need to cancel doctors for that. Not by Dr. Fox, of course.

Like, unless you have a breastfeeding safe GLP1 for me at my six week appointment.

We have nothing to discuss. We have nothing to discuss. Although, I was curious like I never like really look at my scar. I'm like, it could be oozing pus like and I wouldn't know just cuz like

Oh, yeah. You got to check the scar. It freaks me out like to look at it. It's so like thin and like so I it was important for me to like just make sure it wasn't like infected or anything like maggots coming out of it

and maggots. You tested negative. You only found one and he said it's a really beautiful small qu like skinny little maggot so you don't need to come.

Were you maggot alladine? I know I was actually maggot alladine. I'm sorry. It's okay. These things happen.

Our first story, Brooklyn Beckham launches an astonishing attack on his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, in bombshell statements on Instagram, saying that he does not want to reconcile. I do feel like we need to read the whole statement like

the whole statement. Yeah, if you don't mind. Okay, here we go. And but while she's searching for that, I'm going to give my takes and everything. And I do feel like it's important to acknowledge your bias, right? And I do have a couple of biases here, which I do feel like color my my thoughts. Although I think if there Okay, let me say this. I think Brooklyn and Nicola like I could see them being an insufferable duo. Um like Nepo's who's never had to work it for anything and like I do I have heard and I remember we heard we say this every time we talk about Brooklyn and Nicola. We heard that like she's the meanest girl in Hollywood. Bella Thorne once said that about her and I was actually chatting with someone um like who would know um and I was like you know I also heard she's like the nastiest [ __ ] alive and they were like

yeah um allegedly. So that's just what I've heard. Um so that's my bias. I think I also think it's important to mention as a boy mom I

I'm sick over this. This is sickening to me. As a boy mom, I find it sickening. And also somebody who would love to like, you know, lay with David Beckham. That is also a bias of mine.

Okay. Yeah. And I think like we know David and Victoria better than we know Brooklyn and just because they've given us more of them over the years. They've been famous longer. They both documentaries. You feel like you have a sense of them as a person. You can't know someone completely, but they seem like just like good, decent people who love their children and their family. They have a big family. They obviously care about family. the rest of the family's intact. Like it's not like they're

this broken home, right? So that's just the information we're going in with. Yes.

Anyways, Brooklyn took to his Instagram stories. I'm not going to read all of it, but I will read the highlights.

He said, "I've been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and the team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed. I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled. I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. Well, like I would hope that they would endeavor to do that. So, I This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I feel like it happens a lot with Taylor Swift where like a a criticism of of a person or a thing is like, well, they're so meticulous about their image. All they care about is like, you know, they're very, you know, like they have publicists and teams where it's like that's such a normal human thing. Like,

and if you were at that level, you would do too. Like, we care on a small level like what people, you know, in your close personal friendship think about you. Like it's okay to care. That's such an invalid criticism, especially when you've been as famous as they are for as long as they are and then their kids become famous. I hate that too.

No. And like you would want to have some control over the narrative about your family that's out there in the world because you want to protect your family. Like I don't think there's really anything negative about that.

No. Especially when you think about like how they went through like major media tabloid drama. So they know they've been on the other side of it.

Back to Brooklyn. Quote, "The performative social media posts, family events, and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into. Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go to to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out. Back to me now. This reminds me so much of Harry and Megan. The way that they're talking, the way that they're talking about the family, like the entity, lies, and the media. And don't forget that Brooklyn and Nicola had dinner with Harry and Megan.

Oh, yeah. Four losers. Um, yes. And also, I find it so interesting that the media plays such a big part in why Brooklyn like hates his family because one of my takeaways and I saw people on Twitter pointing this out too is like a lot of the examples that he continues talking about the wedding is stuff that was like lowkey leaked. We had heard about this Mark Anthony thing. There was a thing on Duma. So, it kind of makes it look like they're the ones planning stories cuz like all their gripes, there was nothing in here like his spin on it was shocking, but there was nothing in here that felt brand new.

Two things. The Mark Anthony story that we all heard from Dumo years ago did not put Victoria in a favorable light. So why would that come from the Beckham camp? The other thing he keeps saying they put lies in the media. We've been talking about this story for years and nothing about it is concrete. We always end with we'll never know. Nobody put anything firm out there. And if they did, it was unsuccessful.

Well, Brooklyn and Nicola did because now a lot of people are rereading their Vogue wedding piece where they talked all about the planning, yada yada. And there's a lot of inconsistencies, especially when it comes to her talking about the design process with Valentino for her dress. Um, and him now, you know, alleging that

and then Valentino just passes, right? And Brooklyn alleges that Victoria actually was supposed to be making the dress for him and for her and at the 11th hour she pulled out yada yada. Whereas in the Vogue article, it was a yearslong process. We went to Milan, they came to LA. So actually the only proof that someone is lying in the media is that Vogue article cuz half of it doesn't align with this statement.

Then my parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding and it hasn't stopped. My mom canled making Nicola's dress in the 11th hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. So custom Valentino isn't like an urgent need.

Correct. And in the Vogue article, they said it took over a year and there were six fittings like over the course of that time all over the world. So, someone's lying.

And if he they wanted to end the relationship the whole time, why would she initially make the dress like do all the thing only to pull out like right I think she's busier than all of that,

right? I heard theories people thinking that like, you know, maybe Victoria was making a dress and then, you know,

maybe Nicola didn't like it or, you know, Nicola had like, you know, reached out to have other designers make her other dresses and like, you know, Victoria felt some type of way about like being one of several. I don't know.

Okay. Yeah. I just think that's a bad idea. Period. Even if you have like a athetic relationship, don't have the mother-in-law make the bride's dress. Agreed.

Feels like a good rule of thumb. Weeks before, unless she's Vera Wang. Okay. Yeah. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated.

Okay, so the word you're looking for is prenup. Thank you. Um, that's signing away the rights to his name.

Well, like, so this is I feel like a real manipulation of language because, and this is so Sussex. You're right. Like the last name, the kids. Um, I feel like this is where two people are saying the same thing in different languages. Like I think if you were asking Victoria and David like what they what he's referring to, it's like, well, we asked him to sign a prenup and yes, like the name Beckham, which does not belong really to Brooklyn, it belongs to his parents, is this billion dollar company, Victoria Beckham. So what if Nicola wanted to start a makeup line called Nicola Beckham. Like I think it was more so about business. And you know what?

Like it's not romantic for sure, but this is what is involved when you're at this level of wealth and fame and you are merging. And let's not forget Nicola's not some popper, okay? She's Yeah. more money than them.

Billionaires like And I've heard that, by the way, her family is amazing. Like wonderful people. That's what I've heard. Um, so I feel like this is like, you know, really how someone can see a situation so differently than the others. I think if we were to like hear from a lawyer, it would be like really kind of standard stuff. you. It's you'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 cuz 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 uh legal ease.

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.

Yeah. This is just like what high-profile people, you have to protect your assets. Yes, it would nice to believe that this is a marriage that's going to last a hundred 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 at well within her legal right. I don't think this is crazy.

My hold out affected the payday and they have never treated me the same since. Well, it also sounds like

inheritance. No. Or there was like a deal that they were going to do with like the whole family. They needed his name and he didn't sign it and so it affected the payday.

What payday? What deal do they need Brooklyn for? If you've ever read Brooklyn's photography book, you know that they don't need Brooklyn for any deal. Okay.

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 I just feel like there was a prenup. His 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 nanie 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? Nani. Is Nani a nanny or or a nona? But some people call their grandma's like nanny, too.

But she's the American one, so why does she have a non? 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 talking 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 Nicholas aside 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.

Yeah. I think that like a lot of the statement had to do with wedding planning musha 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

But they had a year of like but the whole statement is about the wedding. I know. But they were together for a year going to the premieres being together.

They're trying to make it work. But it seems like they weren't able to make it work and they're still holding on to all the wedding mishadas. No, but also like the reasons for the wedding mission she got. It seems like Nicola and

Victoria and Victoria are strong personalities. They'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 the statement, this is so in the weeds. We're talking about like 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. Since 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, um, 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? Last 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 were 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 where in the 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. I'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 cluster [ __ ] and they like don't acknowledge it even though they never stopped posting pictures from it. I want to say one thing about this Mark Anthony thing. So, it turns out this Mark 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. Was there not a mother son dance

or was there two? You know what I mean? Because it sounds like there wasn't one and so Victoria 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 who put Mark up to this.

We need Mark on the pot. Like did someone put Mark up to this or did Mark feel compelled to sing something? He's at a wedding. Everybody loves him. You know,

I'm sure Mark has no idea. Yeah, I'm sure Victoria asked him assuming it was like all good. But

and then according to Denois, this isn't in what Brooklyn said, but Brooklyn's not pulling punches. I mean, him saying his mother danced inappropriately. Like seriously, what did she do? She 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. 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, you know,

she dances like a mom from the videos I've seen. Victoria, I I'm sorry. I thought this was like such a lobo, but anyways, Duma had said that Mark Anthony also introduced her as like the most beautiful woman in the room, Victoria Beckham, not you know, the bride.

So, 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, "Okay, I guess like again I think it's like so

it's just a single person dance that she's doing with like she that's a solo dance that she's doing with a partner." So it's it's more so like just not jing. But I'm sorry to call that inappropriate. It brings up like the worst connotations

of course and it's such and that's inappropriate. It's an unforgivable thing to say like cuz obviously that's the takeaway ever. I mean, when I saw it, I was like, "Are you

That's when I was like, seriously?" I got up from my chair like, "I'm done." Like, 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. The the fact that he's speaking on it publicly and so obviously and in such detail is wrong. Period. It's spare behavior.

It's It's giving spare. It's giving spare the memoir. Of course, it is. I um and this is oldest son

and oldest and I feel like I can acknowledge that like probably during the wedding planning and the wedding itself like Victoria definitely took opportunities to make it about she's we're forgetting this is [ __ ] Posh Spice like she it's always all always been about her you know she is this larger than life figure. I could see her being like a nightmare to plan a wedding with. Um, and I could see her I could also see Nicola like wanting to give her nothing and I feel like they didn't give her a mother sunund dance which is crazy. Um, so she just created the mother sunund 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

scattering 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 is 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 Becca 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's it is very complicated. I'm trying to look at it and I don't know. I just team Team Beckham. Like sorry team Beckham.

Not Pelt Beckham. No. Continuing on. So then to be clear, 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. Like despite this, we still traveled to London for my dad's birthday. So this is where everything deteriorated. Most recently, the birthday party. We 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 when and nothing happened before that. I

obviously I don't know David Beckham personally. I just like have a really hard time believing like 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 or this is his version of events and

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. I 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 a girl cheese or you taking a picture on a blurry camera? We've gone out of our way for years to show up in 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 is 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 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 I agree. And also like Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Hold on. Hold on. And also, and 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 raising, we're fighting the dogs. Like, there again, dogs are so important.

What about people? Dogs are worth saving, of course. What about people? But not before people. So I just I feel like that needs

he but he just he wants like everyone to now cancel her because but she hates dogs.

Yeah. She wouldn't save the dogs, right? Dogs. Dogs. Dogs. [ __ ] them dogs. [ __ ] 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. I 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. Good. 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 know, he 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 cuz 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 know she's famously like you know exclusively dated Nepo families like in an attempt remember the Anoir Hadid days like

no I don't oh they dated for a very long time that was like her model era of course so please we elephants don't forget okay like we know this is this is the life she's always wanted and it's a life that like being rich is amazing and some people who are rich like it's not enough for them like they do also always want to be famous. So, she is now. And so, 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 toxic be anxietyfree, then like, you know what, then what they said was true. They 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, but 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 even if everyone No, 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. You 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. We had nothing concrete to go on and you just took a big [ __ ] 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 fa No, sorry, blood family. And I don't know, like I said, I'm really never going my 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, I 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.

Clashing personalities, hurt feelings. And to take it this far, I I actually find it deplorable.

Mhm. 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 hellbent on being victims that they see everything through this like perspect perspect perspective of victimhood when they're really not. It sounds like he came from a family that gave him I mean if you've read 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 it 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. So yeah, we'll come to your show but you better be grateful. It was 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 Megan. Yeah. Stand true. So I I'm glad 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. And we we'll push number two. But there are so many parallels to Harry and Megan. Our next story is that Meghan Markle's With Love Megan won't return for a third season on Netflix. And I just want to say it's actually a second season it's not returning for 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 Megan 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. Even 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 US the week it debuted.

Oh, everything makes it. Everything makes it. Yeah. I think maybe like the the intrigue only held people so because of course we're curious and then we found out like it wasn't filmed at our house and like it really was so surface level and like we were just eating edible flowers. Um

very surface level and I feel like I was a target demo. I'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 and things takeaways for me. Like I, you know, you're not learning something because 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 you're entertaining. Um, 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. Um, but 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 genuiness missing. Like 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 them except for Daniel the makeup artist. And like that was really just very uninteresting. Um, 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 Megan Markle's show with 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 I'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.

I'm 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 on Netflix? How are they doing Netflix and Disney Plus?

And also, did you 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. Um,

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 social and a short social media video content Megan teased is a part of bigger content plans. Um Archwell oh meet me at the lake.

Okay, we're waiting for that. Msaka kids a rhythm within which is a documentary short. Um 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 going to

product launches of course are shelf stable food as ever right a sever podcast female founder and archetypes and then of course archwell

okay so a sever is still going a 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.

Like, it's insane. Yeah. I can't believe Yeah. So, I don't have hope for that. Yeah. I wonder how much money they have. Like, for real, for real.

Thanks, Cooji. You're welcome. Our next story, Summerhouse stars Amanda Patula 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 for the last

The shock to me is like, you know, she did it. Yeah. That like so many seasons of like they have a it seems like a 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 from for anyone that's found this out. Like Amanda's free, but like I don't know. I really started to change my tune on it a couple like I feel like when I watched the most recent season cuz it's like yes, Kyle is this 40-year-old manchild. 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. The falling at a fan's house is bad, but they had been through worse. And I don't know, at at a certain point, I just started rooting for them cuz like she really loved him. Like

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 his fans house four years into your marriage is worse.

I 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 cuz 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. They were married for 4 years. They dated for many years before that and I she did get a lot out of the marriage I think. Um 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 cuz the divorce when we don't have kids is such a low lift.

I 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 new found 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. Like but now it's it's 6 months after more or less falling asleep at a fan's house. Like why now? Like what

now? Why this fan? What changed in their relationship that was different than a year ago or two years ago where she 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 [ __ ] you know and you find out like really what color their underwear was or but that doesn't happen like I don't feel like that happens a lot with people who are married when you are h like kind of like yeah

to me it's completely like comparable to Tom and Katie. Oh great exa 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

also the whole time people knew this was a bad marriage, but they told us that they're best friends. Bubba rubba shaba

bubba rubba shaba. And so we're like okay Bubba Rubba. You're right. We're obviously like TV is not showing us something to edit. Like

we're wrong. Bubba rubba. Bubba rubba. Um and in a year from now it's going to feel like how were these two people ever married? like 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 and they never really turned around and were like, "They did this, they were

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. with Kyle and Amanda. One, 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 happened 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 Summerhouse? Cuz 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 [ __ ] crazy if they continue to spend the summer together. Like, I just want to say,

yeah. Um, 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 Lindsay hates Carl, right? But they just weren't married. They did not share a life for for a year. They did,

but they were very close. Like this is an 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.

Well, 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 this? 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

I feel like and also I had seen something that like he had a cousin's wedding and he she wasn't at the wedding like and even at Bravo Con people were like they were living separately. They just filmed filming this finished filming the city. I feel like they've been broken up for a while.

Yeah. And even before that they were unhappy. So 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 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 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 also he's so wrapped up in it. Like 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 dumb ass. Yeah. This is where my like 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 her life.

They've probably been together 10 years. That's terrible. Mhm. Like what does she walk away from this marriage with?

Just terrible memories. Yeah. It's sad. I feel bad for her. Yeah. But we'll see what happens in terms of the show. And

yeah, I'm curious. And you know, I do feel like this breathes like a little bit of an interesting life into Summers. 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, then we'll see the dissolution.

It will happen on the show. Yeah, because I do think that that's true. It'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. Okay. But there was also the announcement of like a spin-offish type of show of summer house. So maybe like Kyle gets Summerhouse and Amanda gets the city.

Oh, true. That would be good. That would be nice. But yeah, they finished filming the city right before Bravo 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, you and that's actually a good platform for a new show to launch off of. Yeah.

Love that. Very Sheena Shay Eddie Crian. Mhm. Our next story, some drama with the Glamot director.

Oh my god, I'm [ __ ] 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 Tik Tok.

I've seen him before, but I didn't realize he was such a personality for like owning the Glamot.

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 Glamot and like tell people, "Okay, you have to stand here. It's a 3se secondond camera. Turn it 2 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 Glambot 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 cancelceled, 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 cuz there's like a video of JLo 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 what I mean? They use it as an opportunity to be like, "I'm a good celebrity." You know, cuz at first he was film and they were going so viral cuz it felt like this sort 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 of it always felt like a little icky to me cuz 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 recently. She doesn't say a lot. She's obviously done the glamot 10,000 times. She walks up. She's like hi. He's like it's a 360 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. JLo'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 does he own the Glamat? A fun fact that not a lot of people know is that the Glamot 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 via email. I'm get having a wedding. I would like to book the Glamot. What is the cost associated and how do I book? And what follows is the nastiest [ __ ] exchange ever.

Yes. Yes. So, in a series of messages from 2019 that are surfacing now, she reached out to the book the um his ser she reached out to him to book the services of the Glamot apparently for a wedding, but she was met with resistance from the filmmaker, the Glambot guy, who stressed that hiring him and the Glamot would be expensive. He said, quote, "Just so you were aware, the Glamot is a camera system and personnel used by a network television station for one of the biggest red carpets of the year."

Okay. Can I 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 Glamot 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 unfased. 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. And it could be between 10,000 and a million.

Okay. But to her, it 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 I'm also wondering. It's a crew of about 15 people plus network setups, rehearsals, gear drop off, camera rental, lighting rentals, insurance permits etc.

He's saying that's what happens at an award show. We really don't give a [ __ ] We're trying to book it for our wedding

for some drunk friends. He's like trying to be impressive to this random woman. She said, "Okay, so where would I begin?"

Mhm. Is though you 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?" She said, "Thanks, Cole. I'll reach out by Monday." He says, "If you wanted to know how much it cost, you needed to ask. You just needed to ask. You don't need to pretend you're going to book it." She said, "I did. That's why I asked. I want to book it." That's the end of the exchange. What an [ __ ]

Yeah. A lot of thoughts. So his defense is that like you know someone could just like reach out

requires a lot 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 glamot 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. Like I 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. Um, 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. Did should 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 um he's now being accused of racism because she's like a black woman.

Oh. And so it's like well what? You 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

Oh my god, I'm That's what I read on Twitter. So just like you know that's the wedding.

Yeah. It was a lovely affair. Glam botless of course. She had three beautiful ceremonies apparently.

Yeah. Like it wasn't a budget thing. That's why like she reached out and she was just like whatever it's going to be like it's going to be. He's like an [ __ ]

Someone said mind you Yanka had been keeping that email thread since 2019. Oh is it from 2019? 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 cost. Also, it also felt like he was pulling $300,000 out of thin air to be like, "Okay."

Yes. No, he made it up. Yeah. Okay. Unprofessional. Unprofessional. It's funny that that this happened in 2019 cuz like when you think about when I think about like the trajectory of the Glambot like career um like that was his heyday 2019. Oh no wait cuz 2020 was co so he was acting like this

before he of the glam bot. No no but I'm talking about like him and his personal cuz it sounds like maybe he got famous and got like to be an [ __ ] but in 2019

and like I imagine in 2019 before he got famous like he wasn't getting rogue emails from people reaching out like it would have been a real customer.

Yeah. So, he was an [ __ ] before the fame, which is frightening. Yeah, but having a glamot at your wedding would be sick.

Such a sle. Such a sleigh. Never even thought about it. I need to get married again.

And get $300,000. 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 $5,000. It's like it's not even that crazy cuz it's just a

video with slow-mo talking about maybe the network one is like a bigger deal. Sure. But it's just a 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 $300 to $6,000 for the set 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. Yeah. And like the one that's like 360 where everyone's like dancing.

Yes. Exactly. Like Yeah. Like Gerald photo. Yeah. Right. Photo booth. Event photo booths like are really sophisticated these days. 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 a fancy neck.

Yeah. And then you slow it down like which you could do on in your phone. Yeah,

you could do a homemade glam. 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. Now celebrities know. So like they know when it's glamot 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 like smoozing. 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 it makes I just want to say I was praying for his downfall. Like I

Yeah, especially if like the crime like JLo it's just being quiet like 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, Traers recap. Let me get a stretch.

Let me also You know what? I might need I might need my sunglasses, too. So, two episodes were released.

Traitor 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. Um, 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. Michael Rapaort. And I have been like a staunch defender of Michael Rapaort because I just felt like this entire time like he's been himself. He is this like loudmouth 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 um were, you know, unfairly coming for Michael and then this episode like if you hated Michael. Yeah. Put him on.

It 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 grand

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 doesn't deserve a

really crazy like people in this sphere, we're always talking about cancel culture, you know, like, you know, somebody says a a popular an opinion that's unpopular, they get cancelled. 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 Spy. I'm not talking about Kevin Spacy, okay? I'm talking about like Camila Cabo and her old tweets. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, there's 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 cuz you know what? I want him to be cancelled. Like he's a crazy person.

Okay, so you are never going to find me defending Colton Underwood. And I feel like this has been like, you know, he thought he was real. This show is so big and it really makes

he thought it was the 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. We don't give a [ __ ] 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 talks out of two sides of him 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

and everyone's like older. They didn't watch Colton Caesar. So someone's like, "Oh, you were the Bachelor."

Or they're younger like and they didn't watch Colton Caesar. So they know he's gay, but they're, "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 round table 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, "No, he didn't even say. He said, "You think it was fun for 29 years of my life?" Like keeping that secret. So just a little, you know,

did you know or didn't 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.

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? [ __ ] happens, you know? 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. I'm sure he had like a very long journey to like understanding himself and Right. So like no one is like was mad that Colton was about 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 justice for Cassie Randle. So he kind of wants to glaze over the whole thing and just be like and I will say for the first few episodes I was enjoying his arc on traitors. 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. She's sitting there crying. Like the whole room sort of and he's like whipping up votes and he can just like decide who is going to be the traitor and then

he's 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 right now.

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 mind [ __ ] You 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. She like Michael Rapor said, she felt crazy, alone, and isolated. And she gets sent home. So the next day, he's back at it again. Really? And wait, mind you, like what he just did is the crime. They will not let Ron off the hook for and Ron actually bad 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 word multiple times. It 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 Rapaort said the next day, like you have egg on your face. Maybe take a back seat. You know, your sniffer is off.

And he's like, "Well, if I miss a shot, I'm shooting again. Listen, take a sip of water before your next shot. Maybe rethink the 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 makes someone a traitor cuz you went so hard and you were so wrong. He 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. And nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you.

Which is I 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. Um 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 ser 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 Rapaort in your lives Michael.

In that moment Michael Rapaort. It's funny. And I do believe that Michael Rapaort did not mean that because he has no idea at first why everyone's like so I guess.

He's like so 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. Oh 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.

And by the way he does not. Is this 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 is like

no and Michael's also accusing him of being able to hold a secret not because he's clos was closeted but because Michael believes him to be a traitor like so the crew like the vibe shifts immediately. Michael is sent home in that moment. Everybody ends up voting for him.

Even Johnny Wear was like I don't care who you are. I want you out of my my castle girl. I even forgot 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.

Mhm. I do not believe that Michael Rapaort meant that. Right. I really really don't.

Also because Michael Rapaort seriously can't help himself. And if he meant that he would say, "Yeah, I meant that." He doesn't like

He thrives off of moments like that. So like, yeah, he would have gone down in a blaze of glory. Like he doesn't care.

Um he would have gone hard. He would have doubled down and been like, "Yes." Right. 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 like a late in life gay guy. Like, like the thing is, Colton is always talking about his sexuality. And I'm telling you, like, nobody gives a [ __ ] Nobody cares. He's always talking about how he's gay and he played football for 17 years. Like,

nobody cares. Like, he's just one of those people who thinks that everybody's always thinking about him. So, when he's sitting there like so victim and there it is.

Yeah. And he just went from being like the biggest baddest in the house. That's what boing me about this show is like everybody came on the 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. And Michael frames something in a way that they found offensive. Everyone's like

and all of a sudden stop the game. Send they know he's a faithful. Send him home even though he's a faithful. I can't believe he said that. 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. They're telling you they're these traitors, their people are opening up to you and you were going to use it against them. And because Michael framed something in a in a way that felt unwoke to you, 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 I think they also want to do what they think the fans are going to want them to do. And I 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 like does dislike Michael like he's not popular online, but I I actually think Coulson's less popular. 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 pearls clutching like it was so loory. It was so phony.

Yeah. I feel like there's like an SNL sketch that like mimics what this was cuz it was just like the most performative. I want you out of my castle. Meanwhile, hasn't impacted the show in the smallest way. Like, shout out to Steven Kleti for still voting for Ron. Um,

and Candace, but Candace and Lisa both voted for Ron, but like they have alter motives. So, like it was just like a real exercise in group think, right? Like it was so like heard 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 being like filming with him unpleasant like that I understand but under the guys like framing him as a homophobe which really I do not believe that he is like was so [ __ ] lame. It was just the lamest group of people doing the lamest thing and 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 heat's off of him. They're not going to vote him out at the next round table less the

that would be homophobic as well. However, will the traitors send him home now that he's on to Lisa Serena? 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. And yes, it was unfortunate that he said it in such a good 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. Yes. But Lisa when Lisa found out that was still funny. [ __ ] Colton [ __ ]

But she actually is sort of playing it wrong cuz she has been really quiet and I even though Candace, you know, I'm team Moique, Candace is playing it really well. She's

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 Rena would, right? 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 oneliners. Like I will miss his presence. And then like when Mora is really bothering me. She's like stop talking. You talk too much. It's like girl you don't talk enough. Does anyone want to say something at this round table? Does anyone want to bring something forward? Everyone is so scared of being like, yes, when you put something out there, you now have a target on your back, but like what?

You're just going to show your way of pacifism. Like hiding and being forgotten about will get you far. And that I just think is the flaw in the 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 traitors don't want to eliminate distractions, but your fellow tra your fellow faithful will eliminate you because they're dumb as [ __ ]

No. The roundts are actually a 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. Mora's giving nothing except for, you know, being carried around by Rob of which I ship wholeheartedly.

If Mo and Rob fall in love, then it will all have been worth it. You're a traitor. What is she going to do when she finds out Rob is a traitor? I wonder if Rob will like sell out one of his own for his love Mora. I also read something that about Candace and Rob that they're like not on good terms right now

from like what happened because I was also thinking it would behoove a traitor to put up the name of a fellow traitor at the round table and get them eliminated. They're seen as a traitor, you know. So, traders 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 had did his due diligence. It didn't sound like he wanted to fight that hard for Lisa Ren.

No. And if he's been in the Coulson voting block this whole time, he can't change his stance.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't wait. But every night Ben gets into bed. We have more traitors. It's the best show.

Yeah. And No. And it's like when I'm watching it, I'm like gh these people. There's so this stupidity. Then like when it ends I'm like I I feel a withdrawal.

Yeah. The round tables are the best part. I would love to like binge it. Yeah. 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 season rewards the quiet people and some seasons don't.

I think and I feel like for the faithfuls they can't really just go on what happened last season. Oh, there was two gamers as traders last season, which means we got to get rid of the gamers. Like,

yeah, you need a tabular assa. 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 Rapaort. Yeah. And for the viewers, because his presence will be missed. Conniving, colluding, commiserating Colton. And justice for Tiffany.

That was devastating. And like Candace is like such an empath. I actually like also felt really sad. 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. You 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 roundable discussion.

I don't think they know in 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 a convo about conversation about Jam Jam. Maybe there was and they cut it because it's uninteresting.

Yeah. Okay. Well, that's our show. Tomorrow has uh we pushed your toaster tomorrow because we got to get this episode out. People are waiting.
