Hulu's vander Pump Villa 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 2: is caught up and the Taylor Frankie Paul drama as 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: Dakota Mortensen is cut from season three. 15 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go out on a lemon say you've 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 3: probably never seen vander pump Villa. 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, but. 18 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 4: I'll I'll tell you about it. 19 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: Okay, So obviously, Lisa vander Pump is famous from being 20 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is a restaurant 21 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 3: tour with her husband. They have been for over twenty years. 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 3: Then she got her first spin off on Bravo that 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 3: was vander Pump Rules. That was all about the waiters 24 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 3: and waitresses that worked at one of her restaurants in 25 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: West Hollywood called Sir. 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 4: That ran for a very long time on Bravo. 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: And since then they've now created another iteration that's airing. 28 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: But I want to say two years ago Lisa went 29 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 3: to Hulu and launched this new show that is called 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 3: vander Pump Villa. It takes place, I believe in a 31 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 3: chateau villa in. 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 4: France, Italy. 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 3: Now the comments are going to come for me that 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: I didn't look this up, but it's definitely overseas. And 35 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 3: what it is is it follows the staff that works 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 3: at that villa as they cater to different reality stars 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: or celebs. It's it's kind of like Below Deck, but 38 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: on land. And so this show has brought quite a 39 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: bit of drama to the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 3: this crossover because they have had the Secret Lives women 41 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 3: go film at vander Pump Villa. This is where some 42 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: like inappropriate action happened between a cast member of vander 43 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: Pump Villa and some of the Secret Lives Wives that 44 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: carried into their show was very dramatic. So anyways, in 45 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 3: this last season of Secret Lives, we saw Dad talk 46 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: all the dads on the show, including Dakota, say, we're 47 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: all going to go to vander Pump Villa now that 48 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 3: you ladies have all gone and filmed, and we're going 49 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 3: to go and we're going to have a good time. 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 3: And you know, it was a kind of a questionable 51 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: act for some of the husbands, especially ones that had 52 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: issues with their wives doing things on the show in 53 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: previous seasons. So it was kind of like, are we 54 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: doing this as a tit for tat kind of thing. So, anyways, 55 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: this was filmed a while ago, it was promoted on 56 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 3: this recent season, and they don't show the filming of it. 57 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 3: We just know that the men went and filmed, and 58 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: then you're supposed to then tune into vander Pump Villa 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 3: when it premieres to kind of get the full scope 60 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 3: of what happened. We kind of heard bits and pieces 61 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: that Dakota hooked up with somebody on the cast. We 62 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: kind of heard bits and pieces that also cast members 63 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: from the Alex Cooper show Love Overboard that we've been 64 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 3: recapping here on the podcast. Some of those girls from 65 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 3: that show also went to vander Pump Villa at the 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: same time that the Dad Tak guys were filming there, 67 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 3: so we heard that Dakota might have hooked up with 68 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: somebody from that cast as well. Hulu loves the crossover. 69 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 3: That's kind of the plane and simple of it. So 70 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: after the Bachelorette was pulled, immediately people were going to 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: the comments and saying, well, if you're going to pull 72 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 3: the Bachelorette, you need to pull Dakota from being on 73 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: vander Pump Villa. So it's been now two weeks of 74 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: us covering this and we're finally getting some headlines about 75 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: this exact thing. 76 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: Okay, there's a lot there.

Yesterday, 116 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: I was talking to a few friends and they were like, 117 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 2: what's your show about? Almost famous? I'm like, okay, here's 118 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: the stick. It's a real stick. Like mostly it's Bachelor, 119 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 2: but it's also like the Bachelor world has invaded other worlds, 120 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: and so we're going to talk about other shows that 121 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 2: Bachelor contestants are now on. I know nothing about any 122 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: other world outside of the Bachelor. And I only know 123 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: about the Bachelor because I was like deep in it 124 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: and participated in it. And so my job historically is 125 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: to know so little and learn and ask the questions 126 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: that maybe somebody might be asking who has not watched 127 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: these shows. Yeah, which is fantastic. And I have incredible 128 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: people like Ashley and now yourself and Ashley's sister Lauren, 129 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: who can fill me in and educate me on what's 130 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 2: happening in these worlds. So I'm trying to think of 131 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: some of the questions that maybe somebody more naive to 132 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 2: the situation would want to know. But I think I'll 133 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 2: start with Obviously, this headline the coda was cut from 134 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: this season. Do we know if it's the whole Dad 135 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: Talk crew, because there's other drama that I've cut. We've 136 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: covered when it comes to other Dad Talkers right right now, Yeah. 137 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: We've covered other stuff for sure, and right now, not 138 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: to get two into the weeds, but you know, one 139 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: of the Secret Lives wives, Jesse's husband recently filed for divorce. 140 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: Like all in the midst of the Taylor Frankie Paul 141 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: Bachelorette cancelation stuff coming to light or sorry, not cancelation, 142 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,239 Speaker 3: they're saying pause or whatever the word that they're using 143 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 3: this week is so yeah, we have covered some of this. 144 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: I take away from this that the Dad Talk group 145 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 3: is not being cut because that means them potentially losing 146 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: several episodes. When I read this, it makes me think 147 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: that he is just being cut from the episodes and 148 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 3: his storyline whatever that might have been. Because they again 149 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: they love the crossover, So I don't think that they're 150 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,679 Speaker 3: going to remove the entire group. 151 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: How big of a character in Dad Dot Dad Talk 152 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: is he? Is he the main guy? 153 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 4: I mean, he's. 154 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: Out of all the men on the show, he is 155 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: by far the most prominent because of his volatile relationship 156 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: with Taylor. I would say Jesse's estranged husband who just 157 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: filed for divorce, has also come up in getting a 158 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: lot of camera time in the last two seasons. 159 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a big deal for Dakota to be 160 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: cut from this. It's not like he's a side character 161 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: who was at the villa and they're like, yeah, he 162 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: might be shown. No, he was gonna be a prominent 163 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: figure on this episode. 164 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and when he came back from filming, him and 165 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: Taylor got into a fight about rumored two of what 166 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: had happened at the villa. 167 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: Okay, let's dig into there then, because I think I'm curious, 168 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: and I'm assuming others would be too. She went on 169 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 2: to be the bachelorette and they're not together, and so 170 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: why would it be a big deal if he, you know, canoodled, 171 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: was somebody different. 172 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: I totally agree. And this was before she left for filming. 173 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 3: This was before she left for filming the bachel announced, 174 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: but she had been announced and she did agreed to it, 175 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: so I totally understand. Yeah, I can't tell you why. 176 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: I think you'd have to ask Taylor that question as 177 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: to why she'd be upset by that. But I think 178 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: that's valid. It's like, you're not together. If you're about 179 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 3: to go date twenty five guys, why can't he hook 180 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 3: up with somebody from another show. 181 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's valid, Okay. 182 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 2: I was just wondering if maybe they were together at 183 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: this point, if that. 184 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 3: Was, like I mean, it's very hard to follow, to 185 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 3: be honest, Like they always kind of are like one 186 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: foot in, one foot out. I mean they after they 187 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: got into that fight about what happened at Vanda pum Villa, 188 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: we know that they hooked up the night before she 189 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 3: left for filming. 190 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, what I'm learning is this is not like 191 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 2: a linear path. There's a lot of. 192 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 3: Curg It's a lot of gray area when it comes 193 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 3: to that relationship. It is not black and white. 194 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: It is not black and white. So he's obviously cut. 195 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 2: That's been announced in the vander Pump Villa. They have 196 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 2: reacted to obviously the situation that is going on with Taylor, Frankie, Paul, 197 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: and Dakota. We covered last week a show that will 198 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 2: be on YouTube that we'll be covering here because we 199 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: want to support Joe and Serena. They're good friends of ours. 200 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: They're obviously from Bachelor Nation, so we will be breaking 201 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: down those episodes. But we also talked about how Dakota 202 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: is cast on that show, and we have not heard 203 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: anything in response from I mean, I know this. Our 204 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: little episode breaking it down got a lot of press 205 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: and we were wondering, you know, why he would be 206 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: cast on a show while at the same time, the 207 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: you know, Taylor is being her whole season The Bachelorette 208 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: is not airing because of the situation. We haven't heard 209 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: anything on if they're going to cut him from the 210 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: episodes or not. 211 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 4: Do we know no? 212 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 3: And can I tell you just my opinion on that is, 213 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: he's not going to be able to be cut out 214 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: of that show. It's a competition show, and we know 215 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 3: that they're competing in teams and there's a cash prize 216 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 3: up for grabs. 217 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 4: It's a little bit different. 218 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 3: I don't think you can cut somebody out of a 219 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 3: competition show and still be authentically showing how the competition 220 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: plays out on camera. Let's say he wins something or 221 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: wins a challenge, you can't remove him from that. So 222 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: Alex Cooper's either going to have to scrap the show 223 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: or just move forward with it, like there's no in 224 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 3: between with that. Now, with this vander pump Villa thing, 225 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: it's not competition, it's docu. They're just hanging out, mingling whatever. 226 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: So that's why they're probably able to make the cut 227 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 3: around him. 228 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: Did you feel like the response this week following kind 229 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: of our conversation and it was one of you know, 230 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: it happened so early on after the announcement of the cast. 231 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: Did the reaction from I guess listeners of this show 232 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 2: and then people who follow these types of shows and 233 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 2: would watch it. Was it loud enough or did you 234 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: get an idea of kind of where it was tilting, 235 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: where people like, hey, I want to watch it and 236 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 2: let it happen, or people like, no, this is not good. 237 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 3: I think the majority of the comments I saw, not 238 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: only on our page but on the unwell page were 239 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 3: fairly negative, not only about his casting but about the 240 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 3: others that we mentioned. Too about Houdah from Love Island, 241 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: who has an active restraining order out against her right now. 242 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: And Demi who is currently in a defamation lawsuit with 243 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: Marciano from vander pump Hilla. That's the other crossover that 244 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 3: has happened in Secret Lives. So I think it's it's 245 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: a culmination. Plus you know Anadelvi, which Annadelvi actually. 246 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 4: Isn't mentioned so much in the comments. 247 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 3: I think people have like they're kind of like over 248 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: her in her scammy ways. But I think that overall 249 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 3: the comments were like whoa not good? Or Hey, I'm 250 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: not interested in this, or Dakota you so yeah. I 251 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 3: didn't see an overwhelmingly positive amount of comments or people 252 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: saying that they were going to watch. It was people 253 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 3: giving kind of a pause or thought on that. 254 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: Okay, well we do see. Let's just say another chip 255 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: fall in the uh kind of aftermath of and not 256 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 2: really aftermath. We're kind of in the middle of the 257 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: conversation of what exactly is happening with Dakota and Taylor. 258 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 2: Where does this lead? What are they going to find out? 259 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: Where does the evidence point to? Is there more videos? 260 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 2: Is there not more videos? Is this going to head 261 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 2: to court, like kind of there's so much that's still 262 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: yet unknown that we're kind of sitting in the middle of. 263 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: But it does seem like, you know, vander pum Villa 264 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: has said, Hey, no, we're not going to get in 265 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 2: the middle of this. This is not what we want 266 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: to do. 267 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 3: Well. I also think because it's on Hulu and he's 268 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: not currently filming Secret Lives, and we also still haven't 269 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: gotten confirmation if that show has picked cameras back up, 270 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 3: but my assumption is that he is not going to 271 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: be on that show anymore, and as a network, they 272 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: probably have to be aligned on that. Whereas Alex Cooper, 273 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 3: because this show is on YouTube, can it's up to her, 274 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 3: you know, and YouTube what they do. So the other 275 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: thing I do want to point out is I believe 276 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: it's on April seventh, Dakota and Taylor do you have 277 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: their day in court, which is about the custody situation 278 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: of their son. So we will obviously be keeping an 279 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: eye on that As to how things play out. 280 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 2: I'm assuming we will be breaking it down and talking 281 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: about everything that comes out here at the Almost Famous podcast. Yes, okay, perfect, Well, 282 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: we'll be back in just a few days talking about 283 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: the court case between Taylor and Dakota. But they are 284 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 2: filling up our headlines right now. We could do multiple 285 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 2: headline episodes on all the stuff that's happening. And I mean, 286 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: I guess one of my takeaways from this right now 287 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: is both these people were so busy. How are they 288 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 2: on so many different shows at once? I mean, it 289 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: blows my mind. They travel the world and get a 290 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 2: camera put up and there the two of them were everywhere, 291 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: and so there's a lot of things that are affected 292 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: by you know, the incidents that happened in twenty twenty 293 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: three and then obviously most recently. So that's shocking of 294 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: how many shows they're on, and then how many people 295 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: are now having to edit, scrap and move on from 296 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: them being on their shows.
