Starting point is 00:00:00 Real quick, and then I'll be quiet so you can listen to the episode, but I wanted to tell you guys about an exciting new update this season, and I promise you, you're gonna want to hear this one.

Being a Cam Girl isn't the worst job in the world. Hi guys! Thanks for being so patient while I got warmed up for you all. Hello, I'm Callum Royale. I was, a friend of your father's.
Starting point is 00:01:13 I'm so sorry, Ella, but I'm here because you're done passed away recently. I want to fulfill my promise to your father. I'd like you to move into my home and remain under my guardianship. Each month you stay in the house and refrain from sex work of any kind, that will give you another $10,000. You'll stay with me and my kids in Los Angeles. Malibu technically. I'm not going to be a kid. Meet the boys.
Starting point is 00:01:36 This is my oldest read. He's a senior. Ella, I am so crazy for you. And this is Eastern. He's a junior, same as you. Maybe it's my mommy issues, but you're kind of sexy when you're mad. The Kova Academy is the most elite prep school on the West Coast. Literally nothing about me screams elite prep school, but sure.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Are you Ella? Savannah Gonzalez. So nice to meet you. Matt, at least I'm not a horror! You are an evil, miserable bitch! Seriously, who hurt you? I just wanted to let you know that whatever happened with David, I believe you. He probably did to you exactly what he did to me.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Holy shit, Savannah! I'm Valerie, by the way. I'm Savannah's cousin from the wrong side of the tracks. How would I survive without you? I know. Malibu actually kind of feels like home now. I don't want to lead you on, Ella. The royals hurt people.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Read hurts people. I'm so glad you came. I guess I wanted to see you work for it a little. I'll do whatever you want, Ella. Happy birthday to you. Read is shirtless on his bed with a girl in her underwear straddling his lap. Hey babe. Brooke, I told you these royals would never really love you.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Rita, I trusted you! I look at the address Lucy gave me and I start to picture a new life for myself in San Francisco. I can see the ocean and the cliffs in my rearview mirror. Goodbye Malibu and goodbye redroyal. Everyone always says that you have to forgive in order to forget. People will be like, drama response this, self-care that. Blah, blah, blah. Just meditate, go to therapy,
Starting point is 00:03:55 and let go of your past if it's holding you back. Well, I bet you those forgiveness freaks have never walked a mile in my shoes. Two months ago, my pseudo boyfriend cheated on me with a pseudo stepmom. Yep! You try to have that kind of morning, huh? Oh, my God, Isaac. Oh, yeah, this is Isaac, by the way. This is Isaac's apartment, Isaac's bed, and Isaac's um... you know.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Okay, I seriously have to go. Hmm, sorry. Too much? No, it was great. Really great. You pushed me away because I'm really great. I need to get ready for work. Sorry. You know I'd rather stay in bed all day. Hey, this is the Ella Show. What you say goes. Hey, this is the L.A. show. What you say goes. Hmm, I like the sound of that.
Starting point is 00:05:08 You're the boss, Ella. Do I get a kiss every time I say that? Try it. You're the boss. Okay, I'm gonna go get ready for work now. Please, too. I met Isaac at the library. I know. So old school, but it took me a couple paychecks to buy a laptop. And Isaac's just old school like that.
Starting point is 00:05:41 He's an 18 year old college grad paying his bills with a job in tech while he works on his own app. Honestly, I've never met someone who hustles as hard as me. That's probably what I like best about him. Also, I honestly love that he is not a douchey mega millionaire. You trying to learn how to do winged liner? I have no idea what that is. It would probably look really hot on you actually.
Starting point is 00:06:11 So emo. Do you have time before you leave for breakfast, Burrito? Good morning. Go ahead, I'll be right here. Mmm. I don't know if this burrito is worth $1,3 but it is very, very good. Do you pull this off? Oh my God, yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Hey, I wanted to talk to you about what we're doing. We're having fun, right? You're busy. I'm busy. We're casual. I didn't know if you wanted to, I guess, pre-defined the relationship. Can we talk about this later? If I don't make it to the 655 train, I'm gonna be late. Let me call you an over.
Starting point is 00:07:08 I'm fine. I like Bart. Are you gonna let me help you someday? I don't need anyone to take care of me. That's not what I asked. But I'll drop it. We can take things at your pace. Boss. He's looking at me like he wants to kiss me. Like, rom-com style kiss me.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Like a love actually to me, you are perfect, kind of kiss me. But I am ordering you an Uber for our dinner tonight. Fine. We'll have our super serious conversation at dinner. That sounds horrible. But okay. Last thing, and you don't even have to respond, but I want to put all my cards out there so you can really think it over. I don't want to be just a rebound, Ella.
Starting point is 00:07:56 You're not a rebound. I like you. For real, I... I wasn't expecting to like you this much. Kind of a backhanded compliment? Hey, I didn't mean it like that. I just wasn't looking for anything and... poof! There you were. Like magic.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Ugh, so many notifications. Instagram? I thought you weren't on social media. I'm not. It's just a burner account I used to check in on people back home in Malibu. Home. You said you only lived in Malibu for a few months. Oh yeah. I don't even know why I called it that. I guess it felt longer and it felt like I had a home when I was there for the first time in a long time. Whatever never mind. You're very mysterious Ella. Yeah it's part of my charm.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Do I taste like Chipotle sauce? In the best way. You're gonna be late. I have a few more minutes. None of you are allowed to judge me or my deeply flawed interpersonal relationships. Okay? Getting over the read royal situation was not easy. I know it's not ideal to be leading on a guy who is funny, confident, and has this shit together more than anyone else I know. A guy who I spend basically all my time with and who I'm starting to... Oh God. Really like? Maybe I should stop being so scared and avoidant and see if Isaac is the right guy for me. Reed Royal never seemed to know what he wanted.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Isaac is the total opposite. No way. Not again. Hey, sorry. You work here, right, for Bart? Do you see that black car parked across the street? The sketchy one with the tinted windows?
Starting point is 00:10:08 Do you happen to know how long it's been sitting there? I think it was here when I started my shift at 5am. OK, it's just that the same car was there last night too when I was getting off the train just sitting there. Oh, shit, I'm late. Okay, thank you for your help. I'm late. I'm late.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. I'm late. I'm late.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I'm late. I'm late. All right. Let's see what these cove kids have been up to, shall we? I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you all for your support during this challenging journey. I'm finally a certified yoga instructor! Alright, go off Savannah.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Cheers! Fake! Oh my god, how are you drunk off of two approach Rose. Oh man. Oh man. Oh my god. So fake. I'm about to jump out of a plane, man. Oh! This is the best year of my life. Woo! Maybe that means Eastern sobered up?
Starting point is 00:11:19 Hopefully. No one ever tells you that high school can be really lonely. I'm surrounded by classmates, by people, every day. But I feel so alone, you know? Ugh. That looks like she hasn't slept in days. Like, everything is totally pointless. Come on, Instagram, play video! Oh my God, why won't this stupid app work?
Starting point is 00:11:44 Video deleted! Fuck! That's a bad sign. After I left, I didn't want to talk to anyone from Malibu. I threw my old phone away. I feel bad about ghosting Val. And it's not like I'm never going to reach out. Maybe I'm just scared.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Come on, buddy, come on, Reed, let's go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, god, really. Well, if I record you, I can look at you whenever I want. I really try not to watch old clips of me and read together. I know it's bad for my stupid healing journey or whatever. No new posts, no stories. Where are you read? Not that he ever really posts anything anyway, at least nothing since I moved So I just watched the same 10 videos over and over again. So cringe, I know Oh no! What the fuck? What the fuck? The car I noticed outside of Isaac's apartment?
Starting point is 00:13:10 It's here. It followed me. Once again, I've tried to run away from my problems, but they seem to find me no matter where I go. Music Planting for a jam packed fall, get every play and take back your time with fewer trips to the grocery store and meals ready in six simple steps. They plan the meals and deliver pre-portion ingredients right to your door so you can spend less time meal prepping and more time taking a breather from your busy schedule. I don't know about you, but I used to have an addiction to food delivery, and it was putting a dent in my bank account. Every plate's meals are 50% cheaper than your average fast casual meal. They're the easiest way to eat affordably. Put the money you save towards making fun fall plans.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Oh, and another great thing I love about every plate is how sustainable it is. Every plate offsets 100% of their delivery emissions, and their meals have a 31% lower carbon footprint on average than supermarket meals of the same portion. Plus, nearly all packaging materials are curbside recyclable in most areas in the US. I'll admit it, I thought there had to be a catch or that every plate must be pretty pricey. But nope, I'm actually saving money by not eating fast casual meals and I'm eating healthier. And it's super quick. All I do is put on my favorite podcast while cooking, the Royals Amalibu. And voila, I have a delicious meal in no time.

Listen and follow on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. I've been thinking a lot about my mom lately. I know sad, orphan stuff, but she was my best friend.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Mom, are you sure about this? I'm sure Ella. Help me with all these boxes. This is all of Jim's stuff. Do we ring the doorbell or something? I don't know, Mom. He's your boyfriend. That's boyfriend. Well, you're not an ex boyfriend until you break up with him. I've broken up with him in my mind.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Let's just toss this stuff on the lawn. Are you sure about this? When someone is your person, you just know it. And if they're not your person, their stuff goes on the lawn. How are you supposed to know if a guy not your person, their stuff goes on a lot. How are you supposed to know if a guy is your person? I only knew your father for a short period of time, and then he was gone. Both disappeared, and I was heart-secked for him.
Starting point is 00:16:58 It's so cliche, but it's true. And you know, you know. So not like Sharon Josh from Clueless. No. Life is not like the movie Clueless. Your father and I could laugh together. They even smell it good. Like a fair amount.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I don't really know. Mom, please stop talking about fair amounts. I need you to promise me that you'll never try to make a relationship work with a man out of obligation or for money or Whatever mom or a woman. I don't know if you figured out your sexual orientation out yet. You're only 13. I hate this Promise me you won't get stuck in a relationship. That isn't good for you. I promise mom. Okay Life is too short to live any other way My life is definitely too short now.
Starting point is 00:17:46 You have to stop talking like that. They say you have a chance even if the odds are no good. You're going to beat this. Ella, you don't know that. Everything is going to be okay. I'm going to make sure everything is okay. I know. I love you.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I love you too, Mom. Are you gonna go talk to Jim now or Fox is on the lawn? I think I'll get the idea. Let's get out of here, get out. After two months in the bay, I managed to find an apartment, find a job, sell the Lexus Calombot me because I didn't need it, or any of the royals' money, sign up for classes to get my GED and put a new life together. Doing, apparently, what pays best. Hey, Melanie. Sorry, apparently, what pays best. Hey, Melanie. Sorry, I'm running behind.
Starting point is 00:18:48 But I can work the register today if you want to make drinks and not have to toss anyone. Oh, you're the best. But you're not wearing that, right? No, no, no. I'm going to go get dressed real quick in the back. When I saw an opening for a bikini barista at Sugar and Spice, a coffee hut downtown, it was like fate.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Sex work meets barista meets huge tips. New life? Same bikini. Cute body suit. Thanks! It's Forever 21. Your man isn't buying you Fenty. I don't need a man to buy me anything.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Is that why you got rid of your fancy, shmancy car last month? Ugh. So Lexus was a gift I don't need a man to buy me anything. Is that why you got rid of your fancy shmancy car last month? Ugh. The Lexus was a gift I didn't want. So I sold it and mailed a check back to the guy who gave it to me. Lowkey, weird thing to do. I would've kept the car. It's a freaking Lexus. Hey handsome.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Are you sugar or spice today? What can I get started for you? Sean, I'm so happy I got to see you this morning! Here's your Americana with extra ice. Oh fuck! I have an assignment to do at two! You're in school? I'm getting my GAD. Entrepreneurial coin! You're so funny! Thanks for the tip, sugar! You were so funny! Thanks for the tip, sugar. You were so sweet.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Hey, girly. Yeah? Is your boyfriend coming to pick you up or something? Uh, he better not pick you up. I'm not picking you up. I'm not picking you up. I'm not picking you up. I'm not picking you up.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I'm not picking you up. Hey, girly. Yeah? Is your boyfriend coming to pick you up or something? Uh, he better not be. That car has been parked outside all morning. Ah, yeah, he's been following me. Following you?
Starting point is 00:20:37 It's fine. Stalker shit is definitely not fine, girl. Want me to call the cops? They can't really do anything unless he touches you, but they could scare him a little. No, no, no, no, no, do not do that. No police, please do not call the police, please. Damn, okay.
Starting point is 00:20:54 It was just a suggestion. No need to panic. No, don't leave. I know, not panicking. I just like to handle things on my own. These sickos think that just because we're in bikinis, they cannot creep and shit. Fuck that. Take this.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Pepper spray. Thanks. Aim for the eyes. They can't stalk you if they can't see you. Even with the long hours and expensive ass rent, I feel more comfortable here in Oakland taking care of myself than I ever did with the royals. In a way, I missed being the only person I could depend on. But it also means I have to somehow handle a stalker all on my own. Thank you!
Starting point is 00:21:42 Thank you. When I get back to my apartment, I immediately clock the stalker guy's car. Alison, Claire? Oh, God. Hey! Alison, Claire! Oh, my God, oh, my God! Stop! Alison, Claire!
Starting point is 00:21:59 Get the fuck away from me! Fuck the way for me! What the fuck do I do? Oh my god, oh my god! Ella, wow, you never call. Hi, Isaac. Um, I... What's going on? Is everything okay? Ella, wow, you never call. Hi, Isaac. What's going on? Is everything okay? But something stops me.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yeah, I just... I'm gonna be running a few minutes late for dinner. I hope that doesn't mess up the reservation. I'll push the reservation. It's totally cool. Great. Thank you. You sure everything's all right? You don't sound okay. Yes! Yes! Everything's fine.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Um, can't wait! See you soon. I don't know why I can't tell Isaac what's going on. It just feels like too much too soon. I don't want to drag someone else into my chaos. Chaos. No sign of the stalker guy. Is he gone? Or is he just around the corner waiting?
Starting point is 00:23:21 Reed Royal has gone live? Yeah, I turned on notifications for read socials. And yes, I'm gonna tune in while running away from a stalker. I'm not obsessed, okay, you're obsessed. Yo, read your sweat, still bro. Look at him. Jesus, read looks rough. It's like 5 p.m. dude, what are you doing?
Starting point is 00:23:41 Fucked up, man. I'm fucked up. Buh! Bro, what? What'd you fuck up up man, I'm fucked up! Buh! By what? What'd you fuck up? Fuck is failure man! I tried to be a good guy but I failed at that and I don't deserve to be forgiven you know? I for real do not know. I fucked it up.
Starting point is 00:23:58 I fucked it all up. Oh shit. I fucked it all up. Hey yo yo yo yo yo yo yo! What are you doing man? He's in? I fucked him recording, give me your phone. I fucked it all up man. I fucked it all up. Hey, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, what are you doing, man? He's still? I'm fucking recording. Give me your phone.
Starting point is 00:24:07 I did all of, man. I fucked it all up! Isn't that what every girl wants to see from her ex? Drunken depressed, acting like a total disaster now that he doesn't have you? I guess I'm winning this break up. Another part of me feels heart sick. But that will go away.
Starting point is 00:24:32 I will make that feeling go away. I have to get ready for my dinner with Isaac anyway. And what the hell am I going to do about the potential serial killer I have staking out my apartment? If I can't call the cops and I can't ask anyone for help, what the hell am I supposed to do?

I'm a-p-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i I don't know. I knew Callum would be upset, but I didn't realize I actually hurt him, which sucks. I don't know. But I did expect him to issue an ultimatum, so I kinda don't feel that bad for him now. Tell him I'm not going back to Malibu.
Starting point is 00:30:40 You can't outrun the royals. I outrun you. Now I have plans. First read went live, now Valerie. What is going on? I mean like really what is the point? What is the point? We get up, we do all this stuff for what?
Starting point is 00:31:00 To find people that care about us, but really do they? Do they? No, no, All of it. It's pointless. It's totally pointless. Every day I wake up and I just want to go back to sleep. Oh, don't say shit like that, Val. She cheated on me. The love of my life cheated on me with some composting as, oh, at UC Berkeley. Oh, no way. And I don't even have anybody buying me ice cream, telling me I don't deserve that mess, because my so-called best friend ghosted me.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Tam and Ella were the only parts of my life I actually liked, and both of them completely abandoned me. I feel like they stabbed me in the back. Oh my God, oh my God. Ella, Sank Claire, I hope whatever revenge you were trying to get on all of us in Malibu was worth it. If you meant to hurt me, you fucking did. Since I guess I'm dead to you, you're dead to me. I never meant to hurt Val.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I didn't want to abandon her and I've never seen her like that. What's up, it's Val. Don't leave me a voicemail. I'm not gonna listen to it. What's up, it's Val. Turn your fucking phone on, Val! I'm so, so sorry, Isaac, but I can't talk to you right now. Val, it's Ella, please call me. I'm so sorry. I knew number is Message not delivered what Account disabled
Starting point is 00:32:40 Fuck she disabled everything I Never thought that by protecting myself. I'd be hurting the people I care about most. That thinks I abandoned her! I guess I did. I definitely know what it feels like to be abandoned by someone you love and it's brutal. Everything okay? Not really. Any chance I could get her ride to the airport?
Starting point is 00:33:16 I don't know if Val will forgive me, but I'm worried about her. It's not about the royals. For Val, for a day or two, I'm going back of Malibu, Valerie, Ella, what are you doing here? Ethan? Oh my god! Oh my god, is he dead?
Starting point is 00:34:12 If you haven't picked up on it yet, everyone in Malibu is losing their shit currently. It literally all started around the time that you left. Maybe it is time for me to come home. I can't lose you.
