4. Main Story: Brooklyn Beckham’s Public Statement Against His Parents ([19:22]–[41:39])
Context
- Brooklyn Beckham published an “eight page” Instagram statement attacking parents David & Victoria Beckham, stating he doesn’t want to reconcile and airing family grievances.
- The hosts set the stage by recalling long-rumored family drama, and their own biases: “As a boy mom, I find it sickening.” – Jackie ([20:24])
Deep Dive
- Key excerpts & their breakdown: Claudia reads the highlights, noting the statement’s “performative, Harry & Meghan”-like tone ([22:06–23:06]).
- Brooklyn claims his parents “controlled narratives” and “prioritized image over family.”
- “All this is wedding planning nonsense dragged out for years. At some point, girl, get over it—it’s part of marriage. It’s horrible. Then the wedding’s over and it goes back to normal.” – Jackie ([29:41])
- Brooklyn describes:
- The infamous “wedding dress debacle” (Victoria backing out as dress designer, conflicting accounts in Vogue vs. current statement, [23:43])
- Pressure to “sign away the rights to my name” (host consensus: sounds like a conventional prenup, not the sinister move Brooklyn paints it as, [25:08])
- Mom “hijacking” the mother–son dance at the wedding (hosts roast Victoria for potential attention-seeking but criticize Brooklyn’s public airing of grievances, [31:23])
- Family social media drama and allegations about exclusion from family events
- “My wife and I want peace and privacy”—hosts call out irony; “No two people want to be famous more than Harry & Meghan. Except Brooklyn and Nicola.” – Jackie ([39:56])
- "The person airing their dirty laundry is almost never going to have my sympathies unless the family's truly criminal. This just sounds like wedding drama." – Jackie ([41:57])
- Consensus: The hosts are resolutely Team Beckham, seeing Brooklyn & Nicola as entitled and self-victimizing.
5. Meghan Markle’s Netflix Show Cancelled ([43:41]–[49:22])
- With Love, Meghan will not get a third/second season; even Netflix admits failure.
- The show “wasn’t entertaining or educational, just aesthetic and scripted… the admission of failure is shocking.”
- Jackie and Claudia run down Meghan’s long trail of “failed projects” and question the couple’s financial longevity post-royalty.
- “It’s the tale as old as time—you could start strong, but you’re only as good as your next deal.” – Jackie ([48:50])
6. Kyle & Amanda of Summer House Divorce ([53:56]–[61:16])
- Amanda Batula and Kyle Cook split after four years of marriage—hosts mark it as sad but unsurprising, given their toxic dynamic.
- Jackie rebuffs celebration: “She wasted so much time on this lowlife… Thank god they didn’t have kids.”
- “It’s Tom and Katie all over again. In a year we’ll wonder how they were ever married!” – Claudia ([57:07])
- Hosts predict Amanda may walk away from Loverboy business and ponder future show dynamics.
7. Glambot Director Called Out ([61:56]–[71:10])
- Viral email thread from 2019 resurfaces: Glambot director is “shockingly rude” to a prospective client (later revealed to be a Nigerian princess who could very much afford it), dissuading her from booking by quoting $300,000+ fees.
- Hosts take issue with his condescending tone and examine the ethics of his behind-the-scenes celebrity TikToks: “He always filmed celebs without consent to catch ‘real’ moments… something about it always felt icky.” – Jackie ([62:10])
- New info reveals actual Glambot event rental is $3,000–$13,000—accuse the director of inflating price to brush her off.
8. Traitors Recap: Michael Rapaport vs. Colton Underwood Drama ([71:13]–[86:48])
- Colton Underwood’s aggressive gameplay and personal history of stalking are scrutinized. Hosts strongly prefer Michael Rapaport, who is accused of homophobia after a controversial comment about Colton’s ability to “keep a secret.”
- “There are levels. Cancel culture is appropriate for people who stalk women and put GPS on cars! Call me crazy.” – Jackie ([72:41])
- The hosts believe Michael Rappaport’s intent was not homophobic; groupthink led to his ouster as everyone “tried to be marked safe from cancellation.”
- “Everyone acts tough the first episode, then the second someone’s called unwoke, stop the game!” – Claudia ([80:14])
- They also analyze gameplay (“The round tables are the Stanford Prison Experiment!” – Jackie, [84:16]) and predict the next moves.
