That's A Wrap On Scandoval: Thursday, June 8th, 2023

Good morning, Millennials.

Welcome back to the toast and happy Thursday.

Hope everyone's having a good day.

It is a Jackson Claude OG original recipe.

Finally, the girlies are back together.

Audio only extravagaganza.

Hey, Jacks, how you dern?

I'm dern good.

How are you doing on your week without me so far?

How have things been?

So terrible.

So terrible.

Not worth living.

Not worth living.

Not worth pursuing.

Just

why do what I do when I can't do dadoo it with a you, you know?

With a you.

Yeah, I agree.

I do agree.

It looks like the episodes have been really fun, though.

They have.

Yesterday was like one of my favorite episodes of all time.

Joey Camasta is just so funny.

And he's like,

he's on my level when it comes to like speed talking, shit talking, and also like niche pop culture references.

It was just a joy to podcast with him.

Everyone loved it.

So it's, things are going great, actually, but I just miss you.

Yeah, I miss you too.

Well, we're back together today, and it's like no time has passed.

How was your day off?

Days off.

Did you get some much-needed relaxation?

Did you go to the doctor?

Like, what's up?

Yes.

So I rested in the bed, as you do on bed rest.

But it's not like, I wouldn't say it's relaxing.

You know?

Yeah, because you're also still a mother.

Yeah, there's still so much going on.

Like, I'm still, there's just always something going on.

I've been like watching Real House Eyes of New Jersey, but I weirdly only get through like four episodes a day, which is a lot for a lay person, but like not a lot for a person on bedrest.

No, it's not.

Like I just finished and got all caught up with the second part of the reunion, but like I've been on bedrest for a week and like all I've accomplished was like one season of Real House Rise of New Jersey.

It's a show.

Yeah.

Yeah.

By the way, that reunion was very good.

Yeah.

These reunions are getting infuriating.

The cast members need to calm down.

Everyone was at, yeah, by the way, the Jersey reunion was giving Vannerpump vibes where like everyone was like trying to have a sound bite in a moment, specifically Jennifer Aiden.

I just expect more from Melissa like because she is so

aware, you know, like Teresa's not self-aware.

She doesn't know how she comes off.

She really thinks like everybody wants to hear what she has to say all the time.

But like Melissa, like continuing to like get on that level with her, like while Andy's literally screaming at them, like I just expected more from her because like she's better than that.

She is better than that, but like acting, you know, like better than that has really gotten her nowhere.

So now she's stooping down to Tree's level.

But she doesn't need to act act better than that for like to take the high road with teresa it's like for the viewers yeah it was painful it was semi-painful yeah and then i'm gonna probably do summer house next i guess i did summer house because people are talking about the reunion and i was halfway through the season so i think i'll do that that's exciting yeah so not super restful but i've gotten some good content in i've weirdly had like

a lot of work stuff like on my computer, you know, like I've been working on my computer a lot that's so good to be on your computer working

running computing computing working like there's just always something going on on my computer so that's the thing about computers man they are crazy speaking of crazy we haven't even been able to podcast i meant to talk about it yesterday with joey but i forgot what's going on in new york is literally the craziest thing it's the craziest thing i called you the other day like two days ago oh my god get over

your air quality talk was cool and i was tuesday morning tuesday morning Tuesday morning because I saw that the air quality on my weather app they were like telling me like there's bad air quality and you know I was like feeling a little short of breath I really was

and I thought the two things were related so I was just like mentioning the air quality everyone was like you're so dramatic

I had no idea what you were talking about and then yesterday

It was apocalyptic in the city.

On Tuesday morning, you were talking to me about it and I was like, okay, whatever.

And then Tuesday night, I left my house to go to dinner and it really was so crazy.

Like my Uber driver was like in pain and I was like, what is going on?

He was like, it's 150.

When it gets to the 3400s, it's really bad.

I'm like, oh, okay.

Yesterday, Wednesday was so crazy when Jax, I recorded with Jax Taylor yesterday.

When he got to the studio, he was like dripping, like snot, tears coming out of his eyes.

And then when I left to walk home, I was deeply unwell.

I put on a mask and I was like wearing sunglasses.

I really felt like a celebrity.

I was like, nobody knows that it's the girl from the toast.

Yeah,

sure.

You know, everyone was like, looking, is that the girl from the toast?

But they couldn't tell because I was so covered up.

Yeah, that was sad for them that they didn't get to see you in all your glory.

I have to say, actually, when I was walking around in like my sunglasses and mask, I did actually meet a toaster and she was so nice.

And she was listening to the Joey Camasta episode.

And it's because I was wearing a toast mask, like not me trying to be incognito with my brand on my mask.

Stop.

Yeah.

And that helped you with the smog?

It did, by the way, because Ben wasn't wearing one and he was like hawking up loo gies and like I was okay.

Got it.

They they can't get me to put a mask back on.

Like, it's just not gonna happen.

It's not gonna happen.

I'd rather smell the campfire.

Well, I will say I'd rather have a little s'mores by the fire.

This smell, I'm not bothered by, even though my clothes now stink like ash and like burning charcoal, which is not great because I wore a cashmere sweater yesterday.

But the smell is actually, I love that smell of like campfire wood burning.

It smells like cute.

But the the the throat nose and eyes are a real problem, and of course the cause, you know, Canada is burning is it's not worth the smell.

Yeah, no, no, it's out.

We're not asking for the smell.

I'm just like trying to like be positive

with like a weird situation.

And I think

so bizarre.

It's so bizarre, but I think what's also really weird is like it feels really scary to have like your whole city like shrouded in orange and smoke.

But the worst that I've seen, it's like if you're exposed to it for 24 hours, it's like you smoke six cigarettes, which like is bad.

But yeah, no, I know you're not.

But it's six cigarettes.

So it's like, it's, it's, where it's like a little fearful of the smug, but what is there to be fearful of like tangibly?

No, it's just uncomfortable.

It's uncomfortable.

And it's weird and it's freaky looking.

Today looks a lot better.

But yesterday morning looked better too.

I walked to work completely fine.

Yeah, it didn't get like orange.

It didn't get sepia toned till the afternoon.

Till like two, three o'clock.

So we'll see what happens today, but it's happening all over like the northeast.

And I've heard that there's now air warnings in Virginia and Ohio, like it's spreading.

It's so crazy.

And this is just something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.

Yeah, it's weird to be part of like a phenomenal moment.

And I think this happens like much more commonly on the West Coast because California experiences wildfires a lot.

So like the surrounding states have experienced this sort of, you know, over

spillover smog.

But this is not really, you know, we're more of like a hurricane coast than a wildfire coast.

Yeah, we have our own issues.

And also I just think seeing like these iconic buildings and bridges like shrouded in smoke, it's like these are really crazy images to see that we've never seen before.

But in California, they see them once a year.

And so it's not as jarring.

So it's just like, it's about us.

Well, it's actually not about us.

It's our choice.

It's not even about us because the whole thing is like it's happening in Canada, but just wishing Canadians well.

Like, no, but I feel like there's two things happening.

Like there's the Canada wildfires wishing them well.

Yes.

And then there's everyone who's like getting secondhand smoke who's never experienced such a thing.

And like we're allowed to have our moment too.

For sure.

The two are extrinsically linked.

Yeah.

But I feel I agree.

Like this is, I know it's connected to Canada, but we're all just like walking around being like, what's going on?

Yeah.

No, we're making it about us.

But I think we have every right to because of how

it affected the city.

Look at that.

And you know what?

Again, not to, even though I did hear tomorrow, it's supposed to like this weekend actually rain a ton, which might clear it, clear it out.

And that's just, again, to make everything about me.

God works mysterious ways because we actually were supposed to be away this weekend.

We were going to take a family trip, and then your bed rest came and we had to cancel, which was totally fine.

But like, we were going to, you know, be sad about our trip.

But if we were out on our trip in this region, we were going to take a road trip.

Um, smoke, rain, it's for the best that we weren't there.

Yeah, is it bad in the suburbs?

Like, is it just I've looked at the map, it looks pretty bad, like, everywhere, but I'm only seeing pictures of New York City.

Is that just because I'm here?

Or because, you know, no one's taking a picture of their backyard.

Right.

I am also only seeing things about New York City, but I have to imagine like an hour or two outside the suburbs are still experiencing something.

Yeah.

So just crazy times.

That's like your kind of air pollution update

area.

Air pollution update.

Try and stay indoors if you can.

Oh, yeah.

I canceled everything.

I did not go to that concert last night, mostly because Margo like couldn't find tickets.

And then at the last minute, they were so expensive.

And I didn't even really want to go.

So she found, she went with Jazz.

Like, it was fine.

And like, going there would have been like one cigarette.

Right, right.

When I could just like vape at home, you know?

It's such a weird comparison.

The cigarettes.

Like measuring it by cigarettes.

Also, it's like, where are we getting this information?

Because last night I was talking to Zach about it and he was like, he was like, do you know if you spend 15 minutes exposed to this, it's like smoking half a pack of cigarettes?

I'm like, I read that 24 hours is six cigarettes.

So, like, Zach's statistic seems wrong.

Yeah.

No, and I found my tweet, but tweeted by who?

Yeah, no, like, who?

Well, that's just, that's a thing in life.

Like, I read this tweet.

Who is the tweeter?

Right.

And how can we measure?

Just how can we measure?

But I do appreciate them trying to like measure your life in love.

I do appreciate someone trying to show us using like science fair tools

what the air air quality means.

It's giving a cardboard tripod like science fair project.

Yeah, but that's how we understand science.

So true hypothesis, conclusion.

Conclusion.

So I think it's six cigarettes 24 hours, but I read that from someone who I don't know.

Who's probably uneducated.

And someone who I wouldn't go to bat for.

I don't know their name.

Right.

Right.

You don't even know their name.

Yeah.

And I don't even know their name.

But it's sounding.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So today's episode is obviously going to be all about the fog, but it's also really all going to be about Vanderpump.

Last night was the

finale, part three of the reunion.

We got like the five-minute spoiler.

We're going to get into it.

It's our first story.

And tomorrow's episode, which has already been recorded because Jax Taylor was leaving town in a rush.

And I was like, just get to the studio.

And he showed up.

Britney did not come.

They had to cut their trip short.

So Britney went to go work.

And Jax is like, I have an hour if you have an hour.

And he really made time for me.

And I'm so grateful.

And he was amazing.

And you know what?

I love Brittany and I would interview her separately too.

But I think Jax and Brittany together, I wouldn't have been able to get a word in.

So I'm actually glad it was like a one-on-one combo with Jax.

And I just love Jax.

Are you going to call it Jax and Claude?

Well, I was literally being like, it's Jax and Claude, but not the one you're used to.

Yeah, that's confusing, considering when you first started saying Jax and Claude, people thought you were talking about Jax Taylor.

I titled it, Jax Taylor Mentions It All because he just fucking went there.

He actually, there was like some big revelations.

I, of course, just wanted to like get an update on him and Brittany.

So many questions about him coming back to Vanderpump.

It's clear he's very much like back in the Bravo fold.

He hosted an event, you know, for the finale last night for Bravo.

But there was a lot of really interesting tidbits he shared from Schwartz.

He actually just had Schwartz on his podcast and a lot of the business goings-ons when it comes to Schwartz and Sandy's.

And we just talked about Vanderpump like from start to finish.

OG seasons, update on his marriage.

He's so happy and he's like such a good dad.

And I honestly, at the end, when he was talking about, I said, I'm like, I never would have expected, you know, we know you from TV.

You're the most involved, like devout dad.

And I could just tell you, like, love being a dad.

And he was talking so much about fatherhood at the end.

Like, I think he got a little choked up.

It was really sweet.

I've always been like a Jax stan, honestly.

He's always genuinely been so nice to me in person.

Like, and I feel like I met him for the first time like.

eight years ago, maybe seven years ago.

And he's, and I know he's like crazy on TV, but I feel like we got to see a nice side of Jax on the podcast.

And I'm excited for people to, to hear it and watch it.

We filmed it too.

Yeah, I feel like Jax is one of those people who, when he's on TV, like he is playing a part.

It's not completely divorced from like who he is as a person.

Like there are parts of him.

It's not two separate people, but like when you meet him in person, you realize that he's like a real person, that he also knows what he's doing in terms of entertainment value.

Like it's not like you're sitting down with the guy in the chunky sweater all the time.

No, no.

And that's what he said.

And I think that's what like a lot of his

resentment towards Sandoval is.

It's like Sandoval's been in this eight-year relationship and they've had problems.

And Sandoval has made sure that those problems do not make air.

And it's like Jax is sitting here.

He had to deal with, you know, his infidelity on his fiancé.

Like Jax and all these, Kristen, everyone like really bled out for the show and was so honest.

And he said, you know, of course there's so many benefits.

You know, we were able to buy a house and like we got famous, but it's not without putting in some work.

And so for all this to be blowing up in Sandoval's face, I think it's like really gratifying for a lot of the people who have been there and got to watch him become the owner of Tom Tom and do all these things without doing that.

Yeah, but but also, I think Sandoval now, in hindsight, is extremely regretful.

And you saw he tried to change course this season by airing their issues.

Because if he had well-documented all of the issues over the years, their breakup eight years later wouldn't have been so destabilizing for the fans.

But because they put on this perfect relationship that we never had to worry about and then the crime was so egregious, he made it even worse for himself.

100%.

And then this season, he's like, well, Ariana doesn't like me sometimes.

And it's like, right, bro.

What?

You're like trying to like climb up a mountain of like chipping away at your relationship and that's just not going to cut it.

Yeah.

Like he was trying to retroactively like plant seeds.

Yeah.

And it wasn't working.

We're not buying it.

Yeah.

So just be authentic next time.

So I'm very excited for tomorrow's episode to come out.

Like there's

some stuff.

There's some stuff about Tom Sandoval like being on tour in Kentucky and what that meant like for Brittany.

It was really interesting.

I don't want to spoil it.

It's like hard for me to sit here and not just tell you guys everything he said, but it comes out tomorrow.

Sorry.

Okay, cool.

Drop it early in the AM.

Yeah, no, it's already edited and stuff.

I love doing, this is what like other podcasters do.

Like they get to record on a Tuesday and upload it on a Friday so they get time to like edit.

With us, like it's, you know, once we finish recording, it's a race to get it up so people can get it as soon as possible.

You don't have time to do it in the bathroom.

Right.

So I'm experiencing like real podcasting like as other people do it.

And so recording on a Wednesday for a Friday release, oh my God, I'm so relaxed.

Yeah.

Well, it's just not in the cards for us.

No, no, that's because we're so authentic and that's kind of our cross to bear.

We're so authentic.

We're so timely.

Also, imagine talking about the air pollution on a Tuesday and dropping it on Friday.

Right.

Air quality changes.

Our authenticity is our Achilles here.

You know what the air quality reminds me of?

That episode of The Crown with the London fog?

Yes.

Just feeling like I'm in the London fog.

Well, the fog is reminding me of chili.

And last night, I was like, this is such a chilly night.

Like, there's this kind of apocalyptic vibe.

Everyone's staying indoors.

It's giving like snowstorm, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Ben was so anti-chili.

It was like actually really jarring.

It was probably the first time in our relationship.

He was like, I'll make a chili, like, for you.

I hate when he does that.

Like, actually, the other day, Ben did the rudest fucking thing.

He made a chili for you.

No, no.

Worse.

So we're out to lunch.

We're out to lunch.

And Ben, I know, like, in the last two weeks, he's been like grinding on his, you know, keto season.

He's been like really healthy.

And I never want to be a bad influence.

So we sit down at lunch and we both are getting salads.

And when you're getting a salad, like you also need like a side of fries or like something, no?

Yeah, a starter, maybe even like a tuna tartare if you're really healthy.

No, so like I wanted like a margarita pizza for like an appetizer, like one of those, you know, little ones.

And then we both have salads.

Like I thought that was like a good balance.

And he's like, no, I don't want pizza.

I'm like, oh, he's like, but get it.

And I was like, no, because it's so big.

And then I'll just literally eat the whole thing.

There's no need for me to eat a whole pizza when I have a full entree coming.

He's like, okay, actually, you know what?

Get the pizza.

Like, I'll do pizza.

I was like, oh, amazing.

The pizza arrives and he like had pulled one over on me.

He's like, no, I'm not eating the pizza.

I just wanted you to have it.

So I literally ate the whole pizza.

And it was so, it was actually, it was upsetting.

I don't know, Turdy.

I don't know if I am on Turdy.

I think it's like really sweet that he pretended that he wanted it so that you would order it because he knew that you wanted it, but that you wouldn't have ordered it without him.

no but like i didn't like the person i was when i had the pizza to myself and that's what i didn't want to happen but he made sure that it did

i think he was just trying to make you happy

not in the way that i wanted it to damn this is like some serious mental gymnastics i know like i couldn't tell if he was being really sweet or just trying to like set me up to eat a whole pizza like that okay well that's wrong if you really think that was his intention no of course not he just like ben's for me ben knows like food equals love and like food equals I'm being taken care of and food equals like my wife is happy and being nice to me.

Oh, yeah.

If my wife only eats a salad, she's not going to be nice to me.

No, but like we went to this one place.

You know I don't like salads, but there's about three salads in the city that I actually love.

And we literally trekked uptown

20 blocks to go to this place because I wanted to be healthy.

And I'm like, okay, well, if I'm going to be healthy, I can only go to two or three spots that I can stomach the lettuce at.

And so by the time my salad came, I like wasn't even into it because I ate a whole ass pizza.

Like it was so backwards.

I'm sorry that this happened to you.

And I'm not saying the name of the place because it's always so busy and I can never get a table.

So sorry, I'm keeping this one to myself.

What if you said the name and then all of a sudden like you're a celebrity there and they're like sending you merch and giving you reservations?

Sometimes that happens.

It's so true.

But I'm not risking it.

Okay.

I have it good now.

Like it's good.

It's a neighborhood spa.

Like I'm good.

Okay.

Well, I don't think Ben did something wrong.

Also, sometimes it's like if I'm not eating for, you know, unhealthy, like I'm really trying to be good, like I still want other people to eat.

Like you get kind of like joy from other people eating good.

Do you know what I mean?

No, if I'm miserable, we're all in this together.

I kind of like can eat vicariously through you.

No, I can't just sit.

Like if there's a pizza on the table, there's no way I'm not having a bite.

That's why it's like ordering it is such a big deal because if it's here, I'm eating it.

If it's not here, I will move on.

Got it.

And like, you know, I'm trying to get my summer bod in check and Ben was just basically setting me up is what I'm trying to say.

So then he didn't make a chili.

Oh, yeah, that's what I was saying.

He was like, I'll make you a chili, but like, I don't want it.

So we didn't make, we didn't have chili.

It just felt like such a waste of a, of a smoky afternoon.

You should have made the chili and then brought me the other half.

100%.

Harry loves chili.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And you can tell that to Ben.

Yeah.

Harry loves chili.

And how is Harry faring?

I'm assuming, you know, all of his activities have been canceled.

yeah his outdoor activities have been canceled he's staying home mostly um so that's like you know annoying to be all cooped up but yeah this air quality man no i would never subject harry to this you know

apocalyptic vibe yeah yeah plus for me with the like i'm already short of what is it with pregnancy like you are

Short of breath?

Yeah, like it's harder to breathe already.

But I did have to go out yesterday and

it was okay it was

went out like a little early kind of no i was in the after i was like dead afternoon oh it's it's so crazy you guys like i can't yeah so crazy

so speaking of crazy i think we should dive in because our first story is the banner pump reunion that really like i waited around all day i was so excited it was like I got showered, like I did everything before.

Me and Ben had dinner in bed.

It was like, it was really just a very exciting night.

Oh, we were excited too.

Obviously, my husband is is number one scan of all obsessor, but he was like falling asleep.

Like he kind of like,

I was like, you're going to miss it.

He's like, I'm kind of over it.

I was like, I know he's not used to this.

This is your drawing out.

He's a new night.

Yeah.

He's not used to like Bravo's like signature drawing out of shit.

They took too much from him.

He couldn't give anything more.

Ben was like disinterested until James came on.

And like literally every time he came on, Ben would be like, ha,

like scream, laugh, and like scare the shit out of me.

He loves James.

That's so funny.

Zach also didn't know about the last five minutes thing.

And I was like, apparently something happens at the last five minutes.

So that like, he held on to that.

And when they were like taking the group picture at the end, he's like, what's got, what happened?

I was like.

The group picture was so weird.

So weird.

I was like, just keep waiting.

And then the last five minutes happened.

Let's get into it.

Let's get into it.

The fast five stories that you need to know.

And the fast five stories that you need to know are brought to you by modern fertility.

For a lot of us, the start of the new year feels like the right time to schedule doctor's appointments, check in with where you're at health-wise, but what about your reproductive health?

our first story van der Pump rules recap the van der Pump rules bombshell revealed in the explosive final reunion episode so we sat down with Raquel we went through the story the affair the this the that only to then find out that a lot of everything they said was a lie was a lie Raquel did her final interview and what's so interesting is when that when the finale aired and Raquel had done like an interview

they only put one clip from what she said.

And we said, like, where is the rest of that interview?

Like, what else is this girl saying?

Yeah, she had no like sidebar commentary.

She really just had like one.

And it's like, but you got her to sit down.

Like, where is this stuff?

Here it was, where she unraveled everything that Sandoval had told her to say, pretty much, you know, debunking this whole thing that it was a one-night stand and then an affair a few months later.

It was more linear.

It was linear.

Unlike short,

it was linear.

But like, it was linear.

And I I guess the thing that they really wanted to keep from coming out was that not only did they have sex in, in Tom and Ariana's house, but it was the weekend that Ariana was away burying her fucking grandfather, which like takes it to another even more, sorry, grandmother, even more depraved level.

And that was like the thing that Tom just really wanted to keep from getting out.

It was such a bizarre roller coaster of emotions.

And she seemed

truly manic.

And

the fact that we know for the last couple of weeks she's been in a mental health facility is not surprising given what she's been going through.

And then also that last shred of footage from her, like that's clearly a person going through something.

And it was actually a little scary.

And it definitely made me sympathetic towards her.

I think, I don't think she meant it to, but I do think that last set of interview was.

A, like the first time we saw her feel any remorse, like at the reunion, she was so robotic.

And Tom was really emotional, but nothing he says, nobody's buying his mind.

No, and first of all, now we know he was lying through his teeth.

So how are you so emotional?

And two, like he's just acting.

Like he's just just doing and saying, like, whatever he thinks will help him get to the other side of this.

So, at least when she, like, wasn't emotional, it's like, well, at least she's not pretending to be something that she's not.

Like, I'd rather hear from her and just like, she's very matter of fact than him and his lies and like his dramatic overtures.

It's so crazy that they went to these lengths to hide that they had sex in the house on the grandma's funeral.

Like, after the whole hearing the entire story and just the whole relationship, like, nothing even shocks me about these two.

And the only thing that actually shocks me now is that they were still lying.

Like I had chosen to believe like what

they said at the reunion, I was taking at face value because like the lie was out.

So no, and like the reunion is the place to like bear it all and there was, you know, nothing left unsaid.

Everything and like there's all these rumors coming out.

So like now is the time to like set the record straight and the least that you could give us and that you could give Ariana is the truth.

So I really just gave them the benefit of the doubt that, like, when he said something, that

it was more or less the truth, because literally, what's the point of lying?

Like, you're already fucked.

No, and now Raquel's like five-minute thing at the end really undid everything Sandoval said about everything, not just the timeline, but the fact that there wasn't a girl in Chicago.

And then what about the girl after the bar?

Like,

everything now is, there's like a seed of doubt.

And he's

a liar and everything.

And that he tried to break up with Ariana.

Like, I kind of believed that just because that's what a person should have been wanting to do, you know?

So I'm just like, well, that makes sense.

Yeah, he tried, but it just like it never, it's hard to break up with someone that you actually care for.

I just believed him, like, because that's what I do.

I believe.

He's a liar, liar, pants on fire.

Now I can't, it undoes everything that he said at the reunion.

He's even further back than when he started.

And for Raquel, I do think that this has made people a little more sympathetic towards her.

One, because we just like appreciate her telling the truth.

Yeah.

But two, like, she clearly had been very coached and

she looks like a victim.

She does look like a victim.

A victim of like a mass manipulator, like borderline abuser.

And I think that last five minutes left the door slightly ajar for Raquel to be a part of the future of the show and slammed the door in Sandoval's face because if no one will film with you, then you're not you can't be a part of the show and i feel like at that point the last person who would have filmed with sandoval is is Schwartz.

But I know Schwartz was just on Jax's podcast, and Schwartz is like definitely changing his tune.

Like finally, after years and years of being thrown under the bus because of his friendship with Sandoval and everything in his life going to shit because of his relationship with Sandoval, I do think he's starting to maybe see the light now.

Well, I think for Schwartz, this is pivotal because one, Schwartz was the one who said the affair wasn't linear.

And

Schwartz has a little more credibility than Sandoval.

So when he says, yes, there was an affair and I knew about it, but it was only, I only found out at this time and it it happened in this way, we all kind of believe Schwartz.

He made Schwartz look like such

an asshole.

Also, the fact that they were hooking up in Mexico when he was encouraging Schwartz to hook up with Raquel, like that would just make me question my friendship in general.

But also, like, Schwartz put himself out there as like a spokesperson for Sandoval and he wasn't even working with true information.

That's not like that's goodbye.

Yeah, I mean, I just don't know what has to happen in the Schwartz and Sandoval relationship for Schwartz to like be mad at me.

I think this.

I think this.

This is a betrayal of Schwartz.

Whereas him making mistakes in his personal life, like true friendship, I guess, you know, if he's closest with Sandoval,

you stand by, some people stand by their friends.

So

it's not what I would do if I were Schwartz, but I understand like he's going to support his friend in his hard time.

But he betrayed Schwartz with these lies.

Even on WhatsApp and Live last night, Lawa wasn't like going so hard after Raquel.

When they were talking about that like last five minutes, she was like, I was confused.

I felt bad for her.

I think like this definitely, and I don't think she's not a master manipulator of her own PR, Raquel.

She's been handling this whole thing incredibly poorly.

So I think it was completely authentic.

And in turn, her authenticity like actually helped her.

Yeah.

And also like in exposing Sandoval further.

Like, okay, so we can bury him deeper in the ground, but we'll, you know, we'll allow it.

There's an equal elevation for Raquel.

And honestly, I think if you really want to want an example of how clearly

delusional and nuts Sandoval made Raquel,

then you can look to the conversation, the statement Raquel made to the producer when she said at one point, you know, I thought about asking them if we could be in a thruple.

And she said it completely seriously.

Yeah.

Like, I think Sandoval was really leading, like, manipulating her to believe that, like, he loved her, he was ending things with Ariana, that, like, what they were doing was on some way had a path to being kosher, like, even if it meant being an athropo, like, she's also very naive and she was acting selfishly and stupidly.

He targeted her.

She's like a perfect person for him.

She's very young.

She's very vulnerable.

She's very easily manipulated.

And she was clearly having some sort of like

crisis.

Yes, exactly.

And he, like, pounced on her at the perfect time.

Like, that's what a true, and that's what Lala Lala was saying Everyone thought she was being dramatic when she was comparing him to Randall and saying he's a dangerous person But like no look at literally look at Raquel like shaking being manic literally spewing nonsense in that last five minutes like that's what a crazy person did to her Yeah

And I'm not like removing all

there are so many red flags and I I hate when everyone like diagnoses her and it's like throwing out all these like labels for her and Sandoval like, you know,

like

whatever.

We don't know.

We don't know.

Like, she needs to

get help.

And I do think that if she were to get the right kind of help, she shouldn't be on the show anymore.

Cause, like, look what this show did to her.

Like, look how this show and the fame and getting caught up in it allowed her to act in her life.

Like, if she really wants to prioritize, like, leading a good life,

this is not the venue for her.

So, I don't need her to go get mental health, health, so that she can start filming again.

Yeah.

You know, like if she really cares about the quality of her life, she should not be on the show.

She started out at what seemed to be like just a sweet, quiet, shy pageant girl, and it just like led her down this path of sin.

Yeah.

And you don't need to go back to that.

Yeah.

And I think her, and I know she's really close with her family.

And I believe her family like.

hates the show, does not want her to be on it, is doing everything they can to like keep her away from it.

So I do think there actually is a path for her on the show now, like seeing everything fully and completely but i don't think it would be the right thing for her yeah not in a me not in a real way

but also we didn't get any clarity on um

la not la la uh tom and raquel's like relationship status they said they were in love so i think they were together when that filmed yeah i don't know when she obviously had a crisis of course

she said all the truths like I'm sure he was mad at her.

And then she bounced to she's been away for a while.

You know,

this third part obviously was the best part.

I still was getting annoyed, especially and James had said something.

He was like, why are we keeping talking about like, okay, yeah, and there's a conversation to be had about like James and Lala fucking and, you know, is that hypocritical and all that.

That's part one and part two fodder.

By the time, and it was the end of the day for them.

And James, like, why are we still talking about this?

Raquel's finally here.

Like, can we talk about Raquel?

Yeah, I...

I don't know.

I feel like they wound up taking up more time complaining about the fact that they were asked about these things where like in the whole cycle of the group, like in the ecosystem, like, Lala hates Raquel because of, like, uh, Scandival and James, but Lala hate James.

I mean, Raquel hates Lala.

Like, she did sleep with her boyfriend.

Like, it's, it's not completely irrelevant.

And instead of saying, I mean, it should have been addressed earlier.

Sure, but like, instead of just like complaining, just answer the question and move on.

Like, I feel like with any question that was asked about something that had to not do with Scandival, it wasn't a conversation.

It was a question and an answer.

Yeah.

So just answer it and let's move on and we'll get back to the task task at hand.

Don't like, you don't all, all of you get a pass for poor behavior because scandal happens.

You know what I mean?

And I feel like there was probably a lot of that this season.

Like I think that there was a whole season of storylines that

went nowhere because they started to prioritize this.

So maybe someone had a bad season and we didn't even know.

And they got a pass.

Like, I think you can answer for like, you did sleep together when you guys were together.

It's not totally irrelevant to this storyline just explain yourself and also because a lot of the fans say that like people will say Lala can't say anything she slept with James so Lala what do you say to that another major bombshell that I think everyone is talking about is Tom's like incredibly disgusting and rude comment about Ariana when Tom Andy basically asked you know have you slept with anyone besides Raquel and Ariana was like yeah he slept with me and he goes I mean you didn't even take your t-shirt off it was really hot I literally could vomit.

So fuck.

And I feel like that's like where his mask slipped.

It was a long day.

He had his whole act on crying, yada yada, victim, victim.

And for a second, he just got like pissed and the real him came out and he put the mask back on

right afterwards.

But for a second, we like really saw the disgusting person he is who he tries to hide from us.

I thought, not that the mask slipped, but again, he was trying to sow the seed of like this bad relationship.

And in some because he's like a fucked up person he thought that he would get sympathy by saying like he thought that like people would be like oh i guess it wasn't that hot because she had her t-shirt on like because he doesn't know what's right and what's wrong Something about her, they must have seen the screener because they had a t-shirt up for sale before the episode was even over.

It's like a cool cartoon of Ariana and it says, fuck me in this t-shirt.

Yeah.

Well, no, not that they saw the episode, but I think everyone knew that comment would be like central.

Right, right, right.

They experienced it, it, I forgot.

Yeah.

So everyone's really like making merch with everything

going on.

Especially big conversation that Jax and I had about how like, you know, this whole thing obviously is terrible, but it's been so good for business for everyone in podcasts,

like in all sectors.

Yeah.

And I think in so many organic ways, like, of course, podcasts, it's good for the show, the ratings, like, you know, before this, like, where was the show even going?

Like, that's really good.

But then it also feels like there are these huge cash grabs that are a little more far-fetched.

Um, and as I mean, Ariana's on the cover of Glamour magazine.

Did you see that?

Yeah, that was, I just pulled that up to talk about that, that she's on the cover of Glamour magazine.

And she talked about how she

will continue to capitalize on the scandal because she never wants to worry about money.

This is Ariana's thing to like, she should capitalize and laugh all the way to the bank.

And by the way, that was an interesting conversation that Schwartz brought up.

And I didn't think he was bringing it up in a malicious way, but I think the question came off rude.

He was like, you know, obviously this is terrible but like the world is behind you and like brands and everything like does it help and it came off rude because he doesn't know how to

talk but it was a good question and i think she was offended by it and she said it's literally been the only thing like that's been getting me through this betrayal but i i was actually pretty pleased that he brought it up yeah and we talked about that when she was on watch what happens live because Andy said, like, you're talking about going on watch Dancing with the Stars.

Like, your whole life has changed.

She's in all these commercials for these huge brands.

I do think it is a silver lining.

At the time, I had said, like, I don't know, would you rather have like this

security of like having a boyfriend and a best friend and like a whole village

versus like, okay, you have all these endorsements, but you don't have that anymore.

But the thing is, she never had that to begin with.

Like, those people

were not real people.

So I'd rather know the truth and have the money.

You know, what's so interesting is, you know, we see the commercial every time Vanner Pump is on.

The Bick Razors, she did one yesterday with Duracell because because he was like when was the last time you bought batteries and so she did and she's been doing all these commercials like really big brands and whatever and she films them all in her house which i find so interesting like not one of them has been at like a studio or anything oh well i think one they're like home brands

yeah and two her house is iconic from the show like we know her house yeah

i don't think that's weird I do.

Also, because if they own the house together, when you like use your house as a set, like you get paid by like the location manager, because they would be be paying for like any so like just tell me are you positive it's her house or just yes a set house oh maybe it's a set house yeah that has like the vibe of her value you know it literally looked like her house well I think then maybe they did a good job getting you to think she's in her home maybe

that's a good call that's a good call I there's no no red flags go up for me I'm just curious about it

what else

I mean there is another episode next week and they're like really hyping it up.

I'm like, Secrets Revealed.

Well, I think next episode is all the footage from the season that we would have seen if not for Scandinav.

So, just like people

being, you know,

reality stars.

Reality.

Right.

It probably will actually be one of the good versions of Secrets Revealed just because it's like...

things they didn't have enough time.

There's not enough time in the day for all the footage they have.

So it'll probably just be like good drama.

I don't know that I'll watch it, but

yeah.

Yeah, so I mean, this is technically like the end of the season, but they do pick up filming like pretty soon.

And if Bravo's smart, they'll get cameras rolling as soon as possible.

And I don't think this is the end of like, you know, things that'll come out and people talking about it because it's really, it's a fluid situation.

It's like still going on.

We don't even know if they're together.

Even though Lala said on Watch Rapids Live, like she doesn't believe them to be together and she believes Tom has already moved on.

Yeah, who would go out with him?

That's an amazing question.

One girl was accused of being his girlfriend and she literally deleted her Instagram.

Like that's how ashamed she was of even being associated with him.

Yeah.

I'm starting to feel like they're not together.

She, if she really is, is

serious about her mental health and like just getting to a place of like feeling like a good person again and like after if she really feels the way that she said that she did, she can't be with Tom.

No, and I really couldn't fathom them not being together before I saw those last five minutes because she did betray him technically.

Like they had an agreement and

you don't do that to someone you're like aligned with.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's a big betrayal in a relationship, even if we're grateful for it.

Right.

So I don't think they're together.

Interesting.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, that's a wrap on Scandival, really.

Sounds so sad.

Until next time.

Yeah, until next time.

But I do think now people are going to do more podcasts.

Like

the embargoes have stopped.

So there'll probably be like more things trickling out.

But again, it's impossible to weed through as just a fan.

Like all the rumors versus like, there's so many rumors, and there are things that cast members actually said that sound like rumors.

And I don't know what's what.

I can't listen to every podcast, and I can't, like, follow every Bravo account or even one of them.

So, yep, yep, yep, yep.

So, I'm out.

Scandoval out.

Deuces.

Okay, ready for our next story?

I guess, even though there's nothing else worth talking about.

No, there really, really isn't.

But

Adam Devine was on a podcast saying him and his wife witnessed a man get gunned down outside his $2.6 million house.

I fucking love Adam Devine and his wife.

Like, so random.

They're like a celebrity couple I always check in on.

They're like so stable and so cute and both so good looking.

Well, like they've been through something recently because he revealed the chilling moment he and his wife, Chloe Bridges, saw a man gunned down outside their Hollywood mansion.

Appearing at a live taping of the This Is Important podcast, the pitch perfect star recalled seeing a man shot to death from across the road.

He said, this is a true scary thing that just happened.

So, across the street, they were running this like crazy poker game.

People were rolling up in Lamborghinis and Bentleys and Rolls-Royce's and shit, and like old guys who for sure fuck prostitutes and play cards.

And I see these dudes, and it's like fun to sit and watch.

So, me and my wife were sitting up on our balcony, and like, this looks crazy.

He said to the audience, this is where it gets sad.

He recalled

when a man was suffered multiple gunshot wounds at 2 a.m.

He said someone was murdered there.

Jesus.

Yeah.

The podcast hosts were taken aback with his recollection, calling the situation sad, before adding, you know, a real person no longer with us.

But this was like a story that was in the news of like someone who was shot in Hollywood.

That's so crazy.

They witnessed it.

Oh, man.

Well, I'm glad every, well, not the guy, but I'm glad, you know, Adam and his wife were unharmed.

That's so scary.

That's like

when you become like so invested in your snooping and then you see something you don't want to say.

yeah

his wife is so pretty you know she's donna la donna from the carrie diaries like most iconic bully in high school history no i know you're obsessed with her i never watched carrie diaries what it was like a you and snitch thing you guys kind of like wouldn't let me watch with you that's austin butler's like claim to fame no i know you have to watch it by the way there's only one season and it's so good and you're on bed rest add it to your list i'm my list is getting long i am also gonna watch love and death zach and i watched a trailer we we thought it looked really good and then we went to sleep you will absolutely hate carrie but it tracks because carrie's the worst yeah carrie's still carrie right right technically you'll hate her but i love anna sophia robb so i think i might like her i'm so glad you just brought that up where's anna sophia robb

i think she's doing living her best life as the kids say You know, when I was a student at the University of New York, New York University, she was one of my classmates.

I did know that.

Actually, she wasn't like a classmate because we didn't have any classes together, but I would always see her in like the lecture buildings.

She was a student while you were a student.

Yeah.

I guess that makes her a classmate, actually.

Does it?

Yeah.

She was a co-ed.

She was a co-ed.

Yeah, I don't think you actually have to have class.

Because we didn't.

I think she was studying something like really random and niche.

Cole and Dylan Sprouse were also my classmates, but they were also studying.

Like he was, Cole was studying archaeology, I remember.

and everybody knew like everything about them.

And Dylan was

who, what was he studying, like video games or something, like really weird and like electric.

Damn.

Maybe photography, actually.

I don't know.

For sure, photography.

For sure.

I had a lot of celebrity.

No, Cole was archaeology.

Like, I remember there was a girl in one of my recitations who was in a class and they did a dig together.

And what did they find?

Not much.

I'm searching Cole Sprouse's college major.

Geographic information systems in archaeology.

Like I said, now Google Dylan.

Okay.

It was

like one of the perks of going video game design.

Oh my God.

I am.

You're a loser.

A freak.

I am a loser.

Anna Sophia Ross.

Let me think.

Let me think.

Hold on.

Let me see if I can remember.

I feel like it was like English or like literature or something.

It's not coming up like it did for the Sprouse brothers.

What about the Strice brothers?

The Strice brothers have majored in cuteness and minored

and minored in scratchies.

And Sophia Robb is married.

She got married in the Cat Skills last year.

Yes, I did know that and she wore like a beautiful like scarf around her neck.

It was so different.

She's so like old English, you know?

Yeah.

And she was genuinely born in the wrong time period.

She has like a face of like, like a woman from the 50s.

Yes and no.

No, I think just yes.

You know,

okay, I'll let I'll

you let it slide?

I'll let it slide.

She gives like, you know,

like like a 50s vibe.

Yeah, no, not wrong.

Yeah, no, I would say right.

Right.

Correct.

True that.

I can't believe I was right on two out of two Sprouse brothers.

Like I'm genuinely, I'm actually embarrassed out of it.

Like, it would be cool if it wasn't so losery.

I knew that I was right about Cole Sprouse, but I really felt like I was just guessing with Dylan.

Video games, like, I can't.

Oh, my God.

Like,

that's really creepy, honestly.

That was one of like the very few perks at NYU.

Like, yeah, there were rats in your dorms, but there were celebs in your classrooms.

Yeah.

I believe Carly Kloss was also a student at the grad school while I was there.

Oh, no, Emma Watson.

And Claudia Ashre was a student there.

Yeah, but like, nobody cared and that's why I hated it there.

So true toxic environment for you.

I had like 500,000 followers on Instagram at the time and like not one person gave a shred of a shit and I would walk around and be like, do you guys know who I am?

And they were like, no, actually we don't.

And we don't want to.

Quite literally.

That hurts.

Deeply.

Are you ready for our next story?

No.

No.

Is it the next story that's brought to you by BetterHelp, perchance?

Yes, it is.

It is so easy to get caught up in what everyone else needs from you and never take a moment to think about what you need from yourself.

You know, we are wives, we are mothers, we are friends and sisters.

So we're always looking out for those in our lives.

But it's so important to look out for number one.

When we spend all of our time giving, it can leave us feeling stretched, thin, and burned out.

Therapy can give you the tools that you need to find a more balanced life so you can keep supporting others without leaving yourself behind.

So if you've been thinking about starting therapy, why don't you give BetterHelp a try?

It's therapy done entirely online.

It's designed to be convenient, to be flexible, and suited to your schedule.

Just fill out a brief questionnaire.

You'll get matched with a licensed therapist and you can switch therapists at any time for no additional charge.

So it's done entirely online, which means once you get matched with a therapist, you can communicate with them.

via text message, phone call, video chat, whatever you're most comfortable with.

And I think what's great about it because it's done online, A, it's accessible, it's affordable.

But also, you know, a lot of people who have been in therapy know that when you get matched with a therapist for the first time, it's not always a perfect match.

So sometimes you have to switch it up.

And in person, that can be awkward, you know, the waiting rooms, a lot of like awkward social interactions.

BetterHelp gets rid of all that.

Our next story, Megan Maroney is talking about the Morgan Wallen dating rumors.

She says, Quote, I won't hint at who my songs are about again.

So Megan Maroney is Brooks and Busy.

She won her first CMT award in April, released her debut album Lucky in May, and is on the road with Brooks and Dunn before headlining her own tour.

But when she first released her now smash hit Tennessee Orange, fans were clicked to link her to the country singer Morgan Wallen after the two started commenting on each other's posts.

And he then released a song called Tennessee Fan,

which is so like mirrors, mirrors so many of her lyrics.

I like, I'm obsessed with both songs, with both artists, and with this story.

And, like, I'm just trying to, like, every time I listen to each of their albums, I'm like trying to figure out ways that it's about each other.

Yeah, but ultimately, I don't actually think it is.

Well, in an interview with Sirius XM in November, she did confirm that the t-shirt that she was wearing for the promotional art for the song belonged to Morgan Wallen.

Okay.

So she said, the highway interview, everyone, I think, saw it as me trying to be sly, but I'm like, I'm actually just having a panic attack.

I was honestly shocked that I even said it was his shirt.

But I guess since he had already confirmed it with another poster thing that he did, I was like, yeah, shirt's his shirt.

So

she said that's all there is to the story.

But now

she will not be talking about any of what her songs are about or who they're about because she was just like so shook up by it.

But like, how do you end up with someone's shirt?

Okay, here's what I think in a

platonic way.

So

I think that like they, Morgan Wallen was like being generous and like helping hype her up and like letting people think that and like leaving comments.

I think they're friends.

Like maybe they're on the same record label.

They have some sort of connection.

Maybe they have the same manager or something.

And I think he was like more than happy to lend his celebrity to like lift up this new female artist.

Like, yeah, sure, let people think I'm dating this hot young thing.

It's a good rising tides, rise all shades, you know?

And I do think maybe it was his shirt, not like in a sexy way.

It was his shirt.

No, I'm saying, but like not in a sexy way.

Not like she, you know, they fucked and she needed needed something to wear.

You think like he was like, wear my shirt for the album, like it was like calculated?

No, like, maybe they were like hanging out and she wanted like, you know, with a big group and they all went swimming.

And he's like, you know, here, take a shirt, and she has it at her house.

Like, I don't know.

Okay, even if that's what happened, like, that's the start of like a little romance.

But also, based on some of my research, his song Tennessee Fan has been written for a few years and is not like a direct response to her song that went viral called Tennessee Orange.

Got it.

Well, I was listening to her album.

There's a song on it called.

Let me pull it up because I really think it's about Morgan Wallen and I want you guys to let me know why or why not.

It's called Why Johnny.

And it's like about, it's her like basically asking June Carter Cash, like why Johnny Cash, like with all of his issues and stuff.

And I feel like...

She feels that way about Morgan Wallen, that like he's her Johnny Cash.

And like, and so she's asking June for like guidance, like, how can you choose this person when they're like really so troubled okay that could be but it also like I could see it you know she's a girl who grew up in the south who grew up listening to country music probably idolized june and johnny um and maybe she's like you know fanfic role-playing in her head like i don't know if yeah it could be

that's also feasible it could be nothing but i do feel like she it was analogous June and Johnny, Megan and Morgan, and like, how did you make it work?

Why him?

Like, even when he was making it so hard for you, where I imagine Morgan's not an easy person to love.

Sure.

No, I could definitely see it.

But I could also see somebody, you know, watching Walk the Line and then writing that song, you know?

It's a, it's kind of a, it's not a crazy question, you know, June, why?

Yeah.

Why Johnny?

It just, it hits different when it's like someone else who's falling in love with like an a troubled country music star.

Yeah, and not like really like the biggest.

He's like, you know, so popular.

Yeah.

No, I see it, but I could also not see it, you know?

For sure.

Well, now she's saying she won't tell us who anything is about anymore.

Her new song, Sleep on My Side, she said it's not a nice song, so she certainly won't be saying who that's about.

I sleep on my side,

and you sleep with everyone.

Facts.

Facts.

Facts.

Facts.

I don't know.

I just

submit facts.

I really should.

I actually don't ship.

Why?

I love this speculation for Megan.

Things like this are so good for a young country starlet's career.

So I love the speculation, the conversations being had about it.

I think it's all good for business.

But as an actual couple, I just don't chip.

Think of the music.

No, I'm thinking.

Think about a duet.

They could still do a duet, even if they're not.

They could be George and Tammy.

They could.

June and Johnny.

Trisha and Gerth.

They could.

Gerth?

Tim and Faith.

Tim and Faith.

Kelsey and Morgan.

Rip.

Rip.

We need to do it.

They could.

But I'm just saying, I'm due.

We're due.

If you think about the history of country music couples, we're due

for a new.

Yeah, because I guess

the most recent is like Tim and Faith, right?

Yeah.

They're like the youngest.

Miranda and Blake would have been.

But they're not anymore.

Yeah, I know.

But neither were June.

By the way, George and Tammy were literally together for six minutes.

Oh.

Six years, but still, then she literally married someone for 20.

So.

Oh, bye.

Yeah, but it was not good.

You should watch the show.

You should watch the show.

She needs more, more matriarch, patriarchs of country music.

Latriarch.

Latrix.

So I'll just keep shipping over here.

And in the meantime, are you ready for our fifth and final story?

Wow, that like just really crept up on me.

Yeah.

Apple will stop auto-correcting the swear word to ducking on your iPhone.

So I think that's great.

I think that is so great.

And thank you so much for doing that 10 years later.

I couldn't have asked for it any since.

It's more than 10 years.

It's literally like

when did the iPhone come out?

Yeah, I guess I've had an iPhone like since

like high school.

Yeah, so in all those years, if you want to say fucking, you're going to say ducking until your phone gets used to you.

But now finally, Apple will let us curse in peace.

They announced a ton of new stuff at their Apple Expo that they do every year.

And usually it's just like a new pair of AirPods and like a bigger or smaller iPad.

But there's a lot that they announced.

I know you guys talked about the FaceTime voicemail, which for me is the future.

I'm obsessed.

Obsessed.

We've needed it for so long.

Like it's, it's annoying that like we had to wait for it, but but I'm happy that it's here.

No, and I'm legitimately like frightened of the person I'm going to become when that feature comes out.

Like I will abuse the absolute shit of it, especially like if I've had a cocktail.

Oh my God, same.

But it was going to be so good for you because you always FaceTime me and when I don't pick up, you forget what you were going to say.

So

you could just drop a word and then I'll call you back and I'll be like, you said this.

And I'll be like, oh, yeah, here's a piece of tea I found out.

Right.

So I'm excited about that.

They also dropped their VR headset.

And we were just talking about like, how do you get into the metaverse?

How do you participate?

And I feel like Apple dropping the headgear is going to

bring a lot of more people into the metaverse, unfortunately.

I mean, people are really shook by the price.

It's $3,500, which I don't know VR, so I don't know if that's like a market fair price.

Well, I don't know what other goggles cost, but like think about what a phone costs.

And now you're like,

and also if you're in the metaverse, like, isn't the goggles then like your apartment too?

Yeah, so it's rent.

Your toilet, like.

And your car, yeah.

It's kind of a bargain for a whole new world.

I always find these like Apple Summits really interesting, but I just know that once that summit comes out, because they always announce like a new iPhone and stuff, all of my Apple products will start to become defunct.

So, like, the second they got off that stage, like, all my apps started not working.

All my products that are not like the most up-to-date versions have started to spark and just completely shut down.

So, that's kind of annoying.

That is annoying, but did they announce new iPhone stuff, or like, maybe the iPhone is safe for now?

I don't know because I was thinking about, I need a new phone.

It's just like started

the second you don't have the most recent version, they start to like crap out on you so that you get it.

It's like they press a button at Apple HQ.

Oh, we have a new iPhone available.

Break all the former versions.

And it's like they literally give you no choice.

So I was thinking, I'm like, there must be a new iPhone because that whole Apple thing happened.

So I'm not going to get a new phone until that one actually comes out.

Yeah.

And it's not going to be a good idea.

There's nothing worse than getting a new phone.

Right.

There's nothing worse than getting a new phone.

And then Apple like just launches their new version, like, you know, 15F.

But these days, the new version is not, there's nothing new about it.

You know, there were some, there were some like tangible differences, like when we went from like two camera lenses to three, and it's like, oh, shit, I just bought a two and there's a three on the market.

But right now, like the new phones, they haven't actually really made a change in a while, so you're fine.

Another feature that got people really talking was like this new accessibility feature where it's a really modified home screen.

It just says like calling, text messages, and camera.

So really good for, you know, older older people.

And all the icons are huge.

And I actually thought that was really smart.

That's cool.

Yeah.

It doesn't sound

like groundbreaking technology.

No, it's just, it's nice.

No, it's nice, but like, I feel like an app could have provided, you know what I mean?

You could like organize your children to look like that.

For sure.

You get to change your app sizes and stuff.

I'm just, I'm happy for Gran.

Is that okay?

Yeah, no, that's okay.

I'm just saying, I feel like that wasn't very innovative of them.

And I'm trying to get them to innovate.

But I do think that this was the most innovative expo in a while with those VR headsets, FaceTime, voicemail.

They're really trying to cater to the people.

Yeah.

But you saw, have you seen the zoom on the Samsung galaxy?

I have.

I saw the moon.

I didn't see the moon.

Oh, somebody was like showing you the difference between zooming in on the moon on an iPhone and zooming on the food on the moon, zooming in on the moon with a Samsung.

And like the Samsung, it actually looks like a telescope.

It's the craziest thing.

No, I sent you a video a few weeks ago of it was a picture of a truck license plate.

Yes.

And then it zooms out all the way and it literally is taken from like 50 miles away Samsung Galaxy.

You should get one.

Why don't we

as

a people

get Samsung Galaxies?

Yeah, no, it's like a known fact that Samsung Galaxies and Androids in general have better features, are better phones, have all these things that Apple comes out with and everybody like shits their pants.

They're like, you know, we've been able to do this on an Android for six months.

Right.

Like, they are like Apple, Android is living in the future, but there is a cool factor of it's a status symbol, Apple, and they're just cooler.

That's plain and simple.

And that's why everybody spends insane amounts of money.

Androids are also cheaper.

Like, there's literally no reason we shouldn't all be walking around with Androids.

Yeah, no, we're all a bunch of fools.

Fools who got played by like marketing.

Yeah.

Or maybe someone can tell me, like, what are the pros?

I'm sure there are things that Apple has that Android doesn't.

Right?

The blue tech iMessage.

That's literally it.

What if I started texting you and I was green?

I wouldn't text you.

Like, that's the thing.

It's so beyond introduction.

We couldn't FaceTime.

We would need WhatsApp.

Oh, is that true?

Is FaceTime only Apple to Apple?

Yeah, I guess.

Yeah.

That's reasonable.

That's all I use my phone for.

I'm on FaceTime right now.

I'm on FaceTime right now.

If my phone stopped making regular phone calls, I probably wouldn't notice until I had to call 911.

Yeah, because you also can make Wi-Fi calls like anywhere.

I will say the person who came up with the FaceTime voicemail feature is obviously the same person that came up with the, we're sending a code to your phone, and then it automatically populates and you don't even have to open the text message.

That person is the same person as the FaceTime voicemail.

If the person who came up with the code thing, like, isn't a billionaire living in a mansion on a hill by the sea, then I don't want it.

Like, that person

deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.

Same for the person who created the unsubscribed button in Apple, in Mail.

Yeah.

That's a pretty genius one, Jack.

That is a civil servant.

No, that's quite literally what we're technically paying for.

Like that sort of ingenuity.

Literally.

Ease of use.

Ease of use.

Ease of use.

So those were the fast five.

True.

Correct.

True.

Correct.

Tomorrow's episode is Jax Taylor.
