What's the issue? 40% off Cyber Monday vacation deals? Yes, why do you keep repeating me? 40% off? Huh, just think about what you could do with all those savings. I know. In fact, it's in the script. When you save more, you can do more.

For daily door crashing deals, visit your local travel agent, or... Hey, I'm Chris Cafferro. And I'm Nick Cafferro. We are real-life brothers who play fake-life brothers read and east and royal on the hit podcast The Royals of Malibu. On this companion podcast, we'll be doing a deep dive in each episode, given behind the scenes, insights, talking to some special guests, and maybe even having some laughs along the way.

Welcome to The Royal Boys. What's up, Nicky Boy? Hey, Chris. How you doing? I'm good, how are you? Good. Podcast number four. I know.

Can you believe it? I can't. Quite literally believe it? I can't. Quite literally. Cannot. I can't believe it. How you been? I'm doing alright. This has been a lot more fun than I thought it would.

I didn't think it wouldn't be fun, but it's more than I anticipated. What do you like most about it? Honestly, I think we work well together. Oh, Nick. Go on. No, I want more. No, I think we work well together. I think it's fun. I like the way we do all this the listeners, you know, we record together

We edit this thing together right now we're recording episode four, but our very first episode went live this week How was that for you? I was cool. It was cool to hear it. It sounded great The response at least like on Instagram and the internet so far has been very positive. Our parents love listening to it. Hi mom, hi dad. Hey guys, are you still listening? Well, I want the answer. They're not answering. They're not picking up. You had an exciting week this week? I did. I did have an exciting week, you want to share? Well, I started as a member of the Ground-learned Sunday company, which is a sketch group that performs at the ground-learns theater in Hollywood.

It's a lot of fun, a lot of work, a lot of writing, a lot of performing, but it's just so much fun. I love it. It's really cool. I got to see you in your very first show on Sunday Company. The Groundlings Theater, if you don't know, is one of the most prestigious comedy theaters in the country. And the Sunday Company is their second highest level. It's as high as you can go without becoming an official groundling member, which is extremely difficult. So it's a really prestigious position and Nick did a great job. And he's going to be performing every Sunday for the next six months at the Grandlings Theater in Los Angeles. So if you're nearby, get your tickets to the Sunday company show to see my Nikki Boy. Thank you, man. It's going to be every Sunday for the next six

months. And I'll tell you what I need to do is learn how to fall on stage because I had a sketch this week where I was supposed to choke on food and die and I fell on the stage and I fell so hard and I have a giant bruise on my hip. You got to fall on your butt on your tukus where all the meat is. I don't have that much meat on my tukus. The tukus is all meat. Not mine. It's more meat than your hip bone.

You don't know that. I don't have an inspected your Tukas lately. But you do have experience with choking. I do. I do have experience with choking. I have, well, yeah. I have a swollen esophagus because of allergies, humble brag. And so sometimes when I get really excited and I'm like with family or I'm happy and I talk a lot

and I'm not chewing my food as much as it should be chewed, it will get stuck in there. And kind of scary, it had to go go in and get that checked out, take medicine for it now. I was referring to you climbing up in high-stake situations, choking, not actually physically choking, but that's good to know, too. Just like, you know, when it's like the pressure's on and you have a big audition, you choked

it. That's not true at all. I know. But I do, but the real life choking is true. So for some period of time, you hear me go silent. Oh my God. Nick, is it? Are you choking right now? No, I'm not. No choke jokes. No choke jokes. Okay. Nick, actually, it is serious. And our sister is so worried about it that she bought you a food sucker outer... It's called the D-Choker.

A D-Choker. Yeah, it's a device that you kind of put around your mouth. It almost looks like an oxygen mask, and it has a suction tube that you pull out, almost like a syringe, like you would a syringe. And the idea is that the tube, once inserted in your mouth with all that pressure will pull out whatever is lodged in your throat. Luckily I've never had to use it, but I always have it in my back pocket. It's massive too. It must be giving you lower back problems. Yeah. But you know, one step forward, two steps back problem. Chris obviously you know diversion the producers of our

podcast posted the announcement about our show on Instagram. Do you see that? Of course. Do you see the sum of the comments? I haven't. I tried not to I tried to avoid public comments because sometimes they hurt my feelings. Oh this one wouldn't it. From Dana J004. Dana? She said, why am I so obsessed with Eastern Royal and even more obsessed with Nicophero? Thanks for a great podcast from South Africa. Wow. Does that hurt your feelings? It does. Not even like a nod to you. What, maybe she's like, what would she not, what would she not about? Maybe she genuinely wants to know, like she thinks it's some sort of weird affliction, like why? Why am I so obsessed? I shouldn't be.

I don't know. But okay, like, Denge fever. I'll give you, I'll give you some love then. Reese Kitty put in all caps. I'm rooting for Ella and Reed and Ella and Reed only. Oh, Reese with her fingers crossed. We also got a birthday, a happy birthday. So we wish we had a birthday? Yeah.

It's Jenny Darling, wish you a happy birthday. Little late, but still. Jenny, you are darling. Thank you so much. Isn't that nice? That's so nice. And then, hmm, okay then, that's their Instagram that's their, that's their, yeah, HMM okay, then with two ends.

Wait, no, that's H&M, the retailer. That's their official handle. Well, that's great because then I just got a sponsor because they said, listen, I'm going to need Ella to take back what she said about Eason being her quote brother because I'm high key rooting for them as end game. I'm talking to you. Make this happen and Gavaro. I think, I mean, it's not clear, but I think they're talking to me. It's very clear. They actually say your name. That's the clearest sign that someone's

speaking to you. All right. Well, I'm going to have to talk to the writers. Then see if we can make this happen because I think it would allow me to speak more in the podcast. But listen folks, thank you for engaging with us. We love it. We're seeing what you're writing and if you have any questions, leave them for us. We'll try to get to them. But what do you say for now? We get to the episode. I love that idea. Episode four. Just sleep on the floor. Would you just sleep on the floor just sleep on the floor? Where do you need a bed for sleep on the floor? Hey? Just sleep on the floor

Just sleep on the floor. Don't do anything else on the floor. You just sleep Just sleep on the floor. That's the name of the episode. Yep. How's this episode starting? This episode starts with a phone call This episode starts with a phone call from Val. So Ella finally tells Val why she left Malibu and she does it over text, which Val doesn't love so she gives her a call. By the way, that's me. I'm a little bit surprised. Are you a Texture caller?

No, no, no, I'm a big caller. In fact, a lot of people hate me because of it. I'm one of those people. I don't even know I had to ask because I already knew you're a caller. I'm a Texture. I hate me because of it. I'm one of those people. I don't even know I had to ask because I already knew you're a caller. I'm a textor. I hate texting. It texting is good for short little spurs of information,

but for a big download, like Ella is dropping on Val to do it via text. Yeah, at like 6am. That's crazy. You know my girlfriend does a lot with her sister? No, I don't. If she does voice memos. Yeah, no, I can't do those.

I'm very insecure about those, which is going to sound crazy because I'm currently recording a podcast where I speak. This is just one long voice memo. But I hate the sound of my voice. Well, you know, the voice memos you send as someone else, you don't actually listen to them, right? Yeah, but it makes me insecure knowing that they hear them. But that's what phone calls are.

That's why I don't do either. Oh. I'm a texture. But you're right. With a lot of information like this, I mean, she's telling her everything that happened. She goes into full detective element. And she's starting to put together a case against Reed, starting with obviously her walking in on him and Brooke,

the way that he reacted when he found out Brooke was pregnant and ran out of the restaurant, the way he he reacted when he found out Brooke was pregnant and ran out of the restaurant, the way he gave her a sweater that smelled like a woman's high-end perfume. She's got a pretty good case. Yeah. Ella in this phone call is going detective mode. Have you ever gone detective mode on like past X or like had to like look into things or not not for me. No, not not for any relationship. I was in I mean, you know, obviously you like you check in on people. You know via social media nothing nothing like detective. I don't go through people's phones. That's no, no, I never done that's I don't like that. I think that's the idea. I mean obviously I think everyone's brain works this way where.

I mean, obviously, I think everyone's brain works this way where you'll like create stories of what's possibly going on that doesn't necessarily mean detective mode, like if somebody doesn't respond, you're like, oh, I bet you they're doing this, or I bet you know, there's a whole like subculture of memes about it. Like, it's like me, I bet you he's cheating on me and then it's like a picture of him like dancing with his friends or something. Yeah, that's called anxiety mode. Yeah, I used to, I used to, with my ex girlfriend, we shared each other's location with each other.

And I never like stalked. I think that's weird by it. But the reason we did it is because there was one time I was at work and I was there later than I should have been in my phone died and I didn't respond. And I think it's spooked her out. So we started sharing locations as I was there later than I should have been in my phone died and I didn't respond and I think it spooked her out. So we started sharing locations as I was fine with, but any time that situation came up again where she didn't respond or something or her phone died and I couldn't get a hold

and I looked it up, I totally felt like a stalker. I felt like a detective mode. I didn't like that feeling, so I unshared my location with everyone. I don't like the sharing of the location thing. That creeps me out. Yeah. Actually, that happens in this episode. That's how Savannah and Eastern find Ella at the Treasure Cafe.

Cause she geo-tagged her Instagram. Okay, but that's different. Geo-tagging your Instagram is very different than sharing your location, meaning someone can track you whenever they want. Well then I'm gonna have to go ahead and on behalf of Savannah hit that old man alarm. You're so fucking old.

What is it? Because she says that it's a millennial thing to do geotagging your Instagram. Okay, that's fine. I'll take that old man, but I will, I'm just declaring that they're different. Okay, that's fair. That's fair. Uh, I've never gotten into detective mode, but there was one time and I hope she doesn't mind me telling the story that, uh,

I was going to college with our sisters ex boyfriend. Well, now ex boyfriend, boyfriend at the time. And I found out through a friend that he had, uh, been less than faithful to her. And so I asked him out the lunch and I sat him down and asked him if it was true. And I told him and he denied it and I didn't believe him. And I said he had 24 hours to tell our sister or I was going to tell him and he called her and told her that well he lied about it. But anyway, the truth eventually came out. Great. Now I'm upset. Why are you upset? Because that makes me mad. I don't like when people are me and do our sister. Yeah, or you, but mostly her. Me either. That's why I sat him down. I was like, dude, I wish I was there. Be truthful. Are you truthful?

So Ella's now in detective mode. And the first thing she does, well, she wakes up there doing construction in the house. She wakes up on a Saturday morning to like crazy jackhammering in the living room. She runs downstairs And it's like what the hell is going on? Easton's glad he doesn't drink anymore because If he had to hang over it would stink and also this was interesting to me He said she goes Easton even sober for two days and read goes you're sober. He didn't know

Don't like that. I don't like that. I didn't know What do you think he didn't know because he wasn't paying attention? Do you think he asked that because he knows it's not true? Oh, that's what I didn't think about that. I thought it was indication that their relationship was distancing itself. And maybe that's just because I know what happens next, right? But giving us a fresh listen, it made me sad. It's like, oh, they're not communicating. The way I've been doing it. Well, it's only been two days.

Yeah, but that's a long time in days. That's true. But, you know, when you're in high school, you got a lot going on. Yeah, like the waterfall being built in your living room by your dad's new wife. Which is, what would that even look like? I don't know. Why would you want that? Wouldn't that like a water feature in your living room?

I guess the humidity that it like caused ruin your furniture. I mean it might not be like a full like waterfall like you know with mist and stuff. It might just be like a like a gentle water feature. I that would make me have to go to the bathroom constantly the noise. Yeah, you go right there right in the water feature. That would make me have to go to the bathroom constantly, the noise. Yeah, you go right there, right in the water feature. I don't wanna pee all over my coins. You don't throw your coins in your own, you know, coins are really bad for fountains.

And I wish that people would treat fountains better and I constantly throw coins in them to make that wish reality. It hasn't come true yet. This summer, they were renovating the frame of my apartment for like two months, starting at like 7 a.m. And there was jackhammering. And let me tell you, when you do have a hangover

and you are awakened by a jackhammer, it is a very, very tough day. Yeah. Now, not a fun day. No. And this day for elegance even worse because why? She decides it's time to question Brooke. Yeah. And she does a nice little acting job. Pretends like she's girly, girly with her and asked her to go on a little hot girl walk Yeah, and they go to the beach and they they get into it Well, it's so funny because in the episode she's like hey girl. It's gonna hook her walk Then there's a commercial break and then you come back and she's like what the fuck did you do like no chill?

What so ever yeah, that's some serious mood swings there? I Thought that was funny though. It was very funny. And Alyssa, of course, did a great job in the scene. But Brooke says, I did not sleep with Reed. Yeah, she says it straight up. So now she said she would if she had to, but she just is using raid to get back with

Calum and actually, you know, Brooke gets a lot of crap and rightfully so, but the reason she gives is understandable. Yeah. I mean, she's brutally honest. Yeah. And she has no reason at this point to lie to Ella, but Ella's, I mean, Ella can't trust her, of course, because she's like a conniving backstabbing piece of garbage.

Yeah. And she's leaving out a ton of information. Yes, obviously. Yeah, well, but her reasoning, if I was Ella and I was listening to that reasoning, I would understand. You don't want your kid to grow up as an outsider with a father that's not present? Yeah, well what's interesting about this is that in this moment, Brooke reveals her backstory for the first time

and it's remarkably similar to Ella's backstory. That's true. And so maybe we'll dive into that a little more as the season goes on, but maybe Ella starts to see and broke like, oh wait, yeah. I mean, I grew up without a dad. I grew up, you know, running from place to place with my mom and, you know, not having a good, you know, a strong, supportive financial network.

And so maybe she's like, okay, I see. Absolutely. And I think that's why it really hits her when Brooke says, can you even trust her? Because I think she can relate to Brooke. And for a second there, she's actually kind of listening with her and saying, no, I can't trust him. Brooke is right. Yeah. But do you trust someone you don't trust asking if you can trust someone that you have trusted in the past? Trust me when I say I don't understand what you just said. I trust you. I will say you know there's a lot going on here with Ella and I have to give her a lot of props I think she handles it in a very healthy way that I actually can relate to. She has all this stuff going on.

And so what does she do? She goes to the treasure cafe and she asks Lucy if she can have a job back. And the way I interpreted that, and I think she says this is because she just needs that distraction. She needs that work. You know, I talked to my therapist about this a lot.

He says, when you're not busy, you start to rumin ruminate about things think about things think about what's not going well But when your busy your mind doesn't have time to do that I was a friend that always says work begins work. So when you're working the more you work The more work you get and even though you're like well, I'm never gonna have time for all these things It's funny how when your schedule is filled up, you end up finding time for things. Yeah, it's true. I will say I've been very blessed to be a full-time actor for almost six straight years now, and prior to that, I was waiting tables full-time while I was trying to act, and I remember

being like, oh, God, I can't wait to not be waiting tables anymore. And I'm, you know, grateful that I don't have to do that to support myself right now. But there is a part of me that misses that routine and structure and stability. And even beyond that, there's a pride you take in it and a sense of accomplishment you feel. Like I did this, it gives you self worth.

What's that? I know, I don't know. Hopefully we'll figure that out by episode 13, if we get there. But it also is a core tenant of Ella and she doesn't want to be a spoiled Malibu kid. She wants to earn whatever she has. Cause when you earn what you have,

people can't take it away. I love that. And when it's just giving to you, people like Dyna could come in and take it away. Having said all this, Lucy does not give her her job back. Ha, ha. Ha.

Ha, ha, ha. What is up the royals of Malibu listeners? It's jingle season. So I want to talk to you about Etsy.

Book with your travel agent or... We owe real quick going back to Ella's competition with Brooke, you, Brooke says, you can't trust those royal boys. And when I was re-listening to it, I was like, hey, that's the name of this podcast now.

That's crazy. It made me excited. Okay, sorry. Yeah, Lucy doesn't give Ella her job back. She's like, no, no, no, girl. No, but she has, she has good reason. And Lucy, who is voiced by our friend Stephanie Sherry, does a fantastic job reason. And Lucy, who is voiced by our friend Stephanie Sherry,

does a fantastic job as not only Lucy, but also she plays Ella's mom. Yeah, which I think is a really cool casting choice to have the two maternal characters in Ella's life be voiced by the same actor. That's really neat. Absolutely, although I will say Lucy is a better mother figure even though she's not biological.

But we all know I hate Ellen's mom. So Lucy says, no, you can't do this. You got to be a kid. And that kind of reminds me of our parents because as you know, I'm somebody that stresses about literally everything. I put a lot of pressure on myself. And I find that our parents usually take the role that is not often associated with parents.

You know, parents are usually seen as the ones that are hard asses and push their kids and put pressure on them. And my parents are the opposite. They're like, hey, relax, have some fun, go out. Remember my dad said once, you know, it's okay to get a C every once in a while in school. I was like, are you nuts?

Yeah, he did not say that in front of our mother. I can guarantee you that. I think he said it knowing that I was never going to do that. Right. Intentionally. Well, but also our parents were like, yeah, you be a kid, but you get a job and you earn your keep. I mean, I started working when I was

15 years old. Yeah, for sure. I mean, we all had to have service jobs. Yeah. And I think I'm going to use that with my kids too. What you learn, working in a restaurant, I'll never convince a woman to bury her children. You know that. There's other ways. That's true. That's a rule I think I'm going to put in place with my own kids if I ever have one one day. You'll be a great dad. Thank you. And even better Danny. Wow. Can't wait to hear that. Repeated in my ear again. Yeah, I think you learn some really invaluable stuff working in the restaurant.

You learn a lot about humans and behavior and how to treat people, how to work hard. Hardest people I've ever met working restaurants. The hardest people you've ever met? Yep, the hardest working people you've ever met. That too. Both. Yeah, there's some people in really good shape, really strong, low body fat percentage people in restaurants.

Yeah, now it's a great, great place to learn about life and tip your weighters and be nice to people. If I ever go on a date with somebody in their mean of the waiter, you're done, bye. Yeah, that's a big old red flag. I know it's not an original thought, but no. What you've ever had one of those. So why start now?

So, Savannah and Easton show up, and they're like, we stalked you, and we are going to tutor you, you know, Savannah's. She's kinda doing it as a resume builder. Yeah. So I mean, she has an amazing resume. So it's like, why are you doing, have you ever done anything that you pretty much just did

to get it on your resume? Because there's so much pressure to have good resumes now to get into colleges. I'm hoping that They're starting to relook those things and like put more weight on somebody's life experience and not just the boxes they ticked off Well, but like yeah, where do you draw the line? I mean she's doing community service As she's doing it like whether she's doing it. Like, whether it's because it was, you know, altruistic and truly like from her heart or because it made her look good, like she's still doing it, that's nice.

Yeah, that's true. I mean, she's doing it so she can maintain her role as honor society president. Yeah. And guess what? You are talking to a former national honor society president, right? They reelected it. They elected another one.

You're not still it. I'm no longer it. I had to pass it, yeah. Why are you wearing the pin? Well, they gave this to me. It's worth several dollars. I'm not going to just give it back. Speaking of which,

Eastern calls himself a natural-born genius who doesn't take notes. Can you relate to this? I can relate to being a natural born genius of course, but no, I do take notes. Although I will say in college, I went to the University of Virginia shout out. I happen to be friends with a lot of athletes there. And one of the perks of that, which was unbeknownst to me, this is not why I was friends with them, but a lot of athletes got access to study guides

for classes that people had just made and stayed within the organization. I think this also happens with fraternities where somebody will have made a really detailed study guide for a certain class and it just gets passed down generation, generation, and people use that when they take the class and it allows them to maybe not take their own notes or maybe dose off in class or not show up at all. And so- So very bad for the academic health of the institution. Yeah, but great for your box score.

And great for Nikki Boy, who is who is me that's me I don't know why I just call myself that I hate that and I will not edit it out because I want to live with the repercussions you have to you have to face your your demons dude but anyway I did get to peek at a few of those study guys are very helpful when you're starting for finals and you're a little overwhelmed so but no I always I always took notes. I, I'm a hand right in no person. I need to write it by hand. Otherwise, I will not remember it. Interesting. And then there's always times, especially now when I'm like writing sketches or something, an idea will pop in my head and I'll be like, I'll remember that. I don't need to write it down. I'll remember it.

Never once do I remember it. Never, ever, ever. Okay. You know know you need to write down right now is remember to write things down Because then you'll remember that and then you'll write things down. That's true. I don't have pen right now But I'll remember to do that later Then we have my favorite moment in Rosalindu history We have our very first montage It's fun. It is fun and kudos to. Who knew you could do a montage in an audio medium? Yeah. It was great. It reminded me of like Rocky. Yeah. You're the best. Do we have

the rights of that song? You do know. Yeah, it is pretty cool. And I did feel a little stupid because I didn't understand any of the stuff she was saying. Yeah, a lot of physics, a lot of chemistry. Some Shakespeare I think was in there. Uh-huh. US history. I did not do an AP US history. I literally had a meltdown when I was in that class in high school.

Yeah, not a cute. It wasn't cute. But Ella is clearly ready to rock these tests in a couple of weeks. Yeah, she's a smart gal. So, so is Alissa, you know, art imitates life, she's a smart gal too. I mean, I'm sure.

I'll start to get her on the pot. That'd be neat. Yeah, well just quiz her. We should have, we should have her take the tests on the pot. The actual tests. Yeah, Ella has to ask her questions. Like who is the prime minister of

Sri Lanka? Yeah, or what's the treaty of Versailles? Or how did World War I start? Yeah, which we all know was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Alsace and Lorraine. The shot heard around the world. Well, the shot heard around the world was the first shot at Lexington Concord and that started the Revolutionary War. Rita, goddamn book, you really? No, I think they both are called the shot heard around the world. Also.

I am not throwing away my shot. I am not throwing away my shot because I'm just like my... Do the whole album, okay? Yeah, just do the whole album. And we on the right, so that's all? We do now. So Ella's work hard play hard. So she studies, she studies, and then what she's going to do, she's going to pop off at

the club. I have a question. And that, listen, I don't care. I'll hit the old man alarm on myself right now. How do all these high schoolers get into a club? You're so fucking old. Well, there are some clubs that are 18 to enter 21 to drink, but I wasn't even 18 when I was in high school. Well, I don't wanna upset you and your little naive ideologies,

but some people create identifications that are fake. That cannot be legal. I don't know the legality of it. I do know it's wildly popular. I Do know that I partook in that I can't condone it, but I did I had one from New Hampshire It was so bad. You never lived in New Hampshire though. I know, but that's where I vote No, it's fake IDs people get in with fake IDs also Hampshire though. I know, but that's where I vote. No, it's fake IDs. People get in with fake IDs. Also, if you're, you're a cute girl, which I am, you always have been a cute young women usually don't get asked for identification. In my experience, at, at 18 and under clubs, or like, you know, 18 plus clubs, they're not ID and you unless you're trying to drink. Well, when I am the president of the National

Honor Society, that is the first rule I'm changing. No fake IDs. Yep. You're fun. I agree. Don't use fake IDs. Don't drink. You'd be responsible. Yeah, just crazy to me that. And I wonder if that's just maybe the lifestyle in Malibu. Who knows. But maybe I'll take a drive down to Malibu's high school and see what's going on. But you know, you have something that I didn't have, which is an older brother who looks like you, whose identification you conceivably could have taken and used to.

I would never do that. No, we didn't do that. Tell them we didn't do that. We didn't do that. You didn't do that. I didn't do that. It didn't do that. Us didn't do that. We didn't do that. You didn't do that. I didn't do that. It didn't do that.

Us didn't do that. We didn't do it guilty of it. We did it. So they're in the club. They're in their whole phase, which I was under the impression that meant that they were just into farming equipment and killing the land with a hoe. But I came to learn that in fact meant something.

There were more precocious and risky. Yeah, they were looking to have fun and not have feelings. Yeah. Which is got, listen, good work. Go live your life girl, do you? I can't do that. I wish I could. You can't what, do you?

Yeah, I can't do me. Who, if you can't do you I can't do that. I wish I could you can't what do you? Yeah, I can't do me who if you can't do you who does you Well, I know no one's doing you right now It's funny because it's true What is up the royals of Malibu listeners?

more. Book with your travel agent or... So Reed shows up. They start dancing. They're dancing and Reed shows up. And one of the worst things that could possibly happen to me happens. What are you in? You use your sexy voice. I know. This scene gets sexy. And you know, these are some of my favorite scenes because.

Well, that makes one of us because I hate it. I hate it. I don't hate it. And you know how I'll say it's it, our sister. Yeah, when I'm in America. Yeah, my girlfriend doesn't like listening back to those things either but But that's man. That's the juice of this whole thing. It's sexy and If I may it sounds really good and authentic and like

Like you're listening to it and it's like oh Wait, so that's actually your sexy voice This what not this is my sexy voice. I'm like, hey girl, what's she doing? I'm wearing a whisper in her ear. I get louder the closer I get to the ear, which I'm told is not whispering. In fact, it's yelling.

Yeah, you should have a podcast. Okay. I was a whisper in the mic. Yeah, so I hate everything about that. It was a good sexy scene in the club. They're rubbing up on each other. They're wanting each other. The passion is there.

The music, everything. The sound design was great out. You're in the moment and then read drops the bomb that nobody wants to hear, which is can we talk? Yeah, but they. Malibu. Mal which is, uh, can we talk? Yeah, but they, Malibu. Malibu. No, we cannot talk. We can just dance and talk with our eyes.

And then he has to carry her out because she's had a few too many drinks. Yes. And he's a gentleman, um, and he's carrying her out. And she's like, I don't need your help. He's like, all right, I'm sorry. And then we have the fight, the big fight. The big fight that went a little bit viral on Alyssa's TikTok. Once you uploaded this. Really?

Yeah, I think it has like 18 million views or something. I don't even know that many people. You don't know 18 million people? No, not yet. Who's coming to your first Holy Communion? So they get in the big fight and Ella and Ella is like, what were you talking about with Brooke? What could you do? And Reed is like, I have to help her with something. And Ella's like, what could you, why would you help her? You hate her.

Do you have a gun to your head? Do you have a gun ahead? And I say, yes. No. It's why I can't, why can't he just admit it to her? Well, I think that maybe we'll find out in a couple episodes, but clearly, there is something preventing read from telling Ella the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God. Hey.

What is it? I'm not gonna tell, it's a spoiler. But I'm your brother. All right, I'll tell you, okay, Rene. I'm not gonna tell, it's a spoiler, but I'm your brother. All right, I'll tell you, okay, ready? I'm gonna tell you, okay, ready? Okay, ready. But anyway, he drives her home. A lot of the reason they can't have this conversation

is because she's drunk, but there's also some really great acting here. Big shouts to both you and Alyssa here, great fight. And then it has a lot of layers It's not just anger. There's a lot of emotion of how hurt she's been how everything makes her angry and upset and When I was listening to it, I was just so grateful that I've never been treated on at least not to my knowledge

and It really made me feel how painful that might be and that I've never been treated on, at least not to my knowledge. And it really made me feel how painful that might be. And baby, oh baby, that's the beauty of acting, making people feel things they might not have experienced. Yeah, that's why we tell stories. And sadly, a lot of people can relate to that story, being treated on whether it's physically, emotionally, and that's like the biggest betrayal, you know? Don't cheat.

Don't cheat. Look, I know. Just watch your thinking. My thing, and I see this when I'm watching reality shows, where it's like, listen, if you want to break up with someone, break up with them. You want to sleep with other people, break up with the person you're with, or tell them,

or have an agreement or whatever. But like, don't cheat on people. But then again, that's why people do it. They don't do it. They do it because they're not supposed to. Yeah. I think it's like a human. It's, yeah. Humans want what they can't have, or what they're not supposed to do. But man, cheating on someone's like taking a chainsaw to their whole self-worth. And then you got to rebuild.

And who has the time? I will say if you gave me a chainsaw right now or can you chop down a tree with this, I wouldn't be able to do it. Yeah, that's why I would never give you a chainsaw and ask you to chop down a tree. But what would I do with a chainsaw? I would be very inefficient with it.

Okay, so then we get home. Yeah, drives our home, they have this emotional moment, this. Not just an emotional moment. I'll say this. So there's lots of scenes in this show and in this series where there's like sexy scenes and you know, physical touch.

And this scene where Reed takes off Ella's makeup in my opinion is the most intimate scene of the whole series. Because there is no sex, there's no... It's just like this very tender, caring moment, but it's very close. And I remember recording this scene in the booth, and they really let us sort it and provides a lot because you know it's one thing to have text on the page but when you're trying to like fill the space and like make it seem to the listener like you're sitting across from somebody rubbing a wet makeup cloth across their face it can be tough and so they they give us some free reign to improvise and stuff and I was really happy with how it turned out.

Yeah it sounded great and you're totally right it isn't intimate scene I mean to improvise and stuff, and I was really happy with how it turned out. It's very great. And you're totally right. It isn't intimacy. I mean, anybody who has a tick-tock knows how important facial skincare is. So the fact that anybody would allow someone's hand near their face when they're prone to acne or anything like myself,

that's like the ultimate form of trust. It is, and also, and I think a women will appreciate this, props to, and I'll speak for them. I won't, I said I think props to Ella for having the wherewithal to take her makeup off before she went to bed, even though she was drunk, because some people forget they'll fall asleep and they their makeup, they'll fall asleep in their contacts. I fell asleep in my makeup this past weekend.

Did you really? Yeah, I was wearing makeup because of the sketch show. It actually wasn't makeup, it was spirit glue, which is what you used to put a mustache, a fake mustache on. And I am not used to taking makeup off my face or any sort of substance off my face, other than my masks that I wear to get through the day. And I got a little blemish.

Oh yeah? Yeah. That's not good. You looking at it right now? No, I'm looking for it. I don't see it. Oh my god, there it is. Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh. Oh, it went. It went to me. Yeah, it's a seductive blemish. Oh, I see it. Oh my God, there it is. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh, it winked. It winked to me. Yeah, it's a seductive blanche. Oh, I hate it. It's okay. Yeah, fall asleep with makeup on. I always laugh in like TV shows when, ha ha ha ha.

Yeah, like that. When like women will wake up in the middle of the night or like movies and they're like, oh, and it's like, you have a full face of makeup girl. Like, who are you kidding? This is not real life. Nobody wakes up looking like that except for Beyonce. I woke up like this.

Yeah, that's true. Do we have the right size on? We do now. Speaking of waking up, like something, they fall asleep together. Well, together? No, she makes them sleep on the floor, which I think is really nice, because you know,

we don't want to have like this, they have a lot to rebuild. I mean, Reed even says that, says, I will teach you how to trust me again. And I teach you how to trust me. Teach you how to trust me. Teach you how to trust me. Deng, messing with Mandagi. We're the right to that. We didn't know. So he sleeps on the floor, which is, it's just all, it's a really great ending. It's a really nice moving piece and hopefully a good foundation for their relationship. And you think it's going to end, you know, nicey, nice and cutesy, cutes.

But what happens? Daddy comes in. In the morning, knock, knock, knock, calum, which is, oh my God, so scary to think of like, like the fear that read must feel of like, even though they weren't doing anything, they were, he was literally sleeping on her floor, but then he has to scramble to make it look like he,

because nobody's gonna believe that. He's too like beautiful young people young people sleeping in the same room. Who is gonna believe that they were sleeping on the floor? I would, I like to believe people, but. So, Kalimnox on the door, and Reed asked the scramble, and he hides under the bed. That's not the kind of scramble I like in the morning. I like my eggs scrambled, not my words like you just did.

Yeah. Yeah. And calms like I'm going to bring you an assay bowl, but we got to... Which he says are great for hangovers, and I have to say, I'm going to second that. Yeah, because they're basically just sugar bombs. Very high sugar. Oh, I don't like that. Yeah, they are tasty. Yeah, they they're basically just sugar bombs, very high in sugar. Oh, I don't like that. Yeah, they are tasty.

Yeah, they're great. I think it's the cold. That's what, you know, the cold never bothered me anyway. Really? Yeah. You should, you should travel to Arondale. I don't know who Arondale is. Arondale.

I don't know who that is. I don't know, Arondale. Or know Chippendale. Oh, no, Aaron Dell's it's this place. They make really good ice. Oh cool. I'll take a boat there. What could go wrong? Thor Shadowing. Is it for Shadowing if it happened in a movie 18 years ago? What the Titanic or the fact that else's parents died. Elson and his parents died in a car accident. I mean, they died in the ship accident. In the ship accident. But it sounded like you were alluding to Titanic,

which hit a iceberg. No. Well, Frozen didn't happen 18 years ago. Frozen came out a long time ago. Not 18 years ago. There's no chance. Not 18, but wait a second. How long do you think?

Don't look, don't look. I would say... 10 years. I'm gonna say 12. You're saying 12 years? $1 Bob. 13 years. 2013, 10 years. Damn, what did you say? I said 10 years.

I don't believe you, and there's no way to check that. So let's just keep recording. So Reed goes, he hides, Kalim, blah, blah, blah, and in our episode ends with Reed saying, I'm going to make it up to you. You think he will? I can make you love me if you don't.

Hello? Yes, okay great, thank you. We know on the right, so that's all, perfect. Oh man, that was a journey. Hey, Nick, what? We finished wrapping up the episode, so you know what time it is? I think so.

It's time for Royal Decree's. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A Royal Decree. Do you have a Royal Decree? You wanna start? Yeah, go. Here, 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, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, if you will. There's always that little skip intro button. And I have to be honest, I use it a lot. But I decree that everyone should watch the intro to the show they are watching at least one time.

Okay. At least one time. And then the rest of the time you could skip it. But somebody put a lot of work into that. There are usually Easter eggs associated with what's gonna happen in the show in there. A lot of it is really beautiful art. Yes, it's boring. Yes, it adds three minutes to your watch time, but you have to watch it at least once before you can then skip it on every other subsequent viewing.

I do respect that decree, but the length of those introductions has gotten out of hand. I mean, it's crazy. Yeah, like Game of Thrones ones, like... The game of all of them, every HBO show, it's like a minute and forty seconds. Yeah, just watch it once as I'm asking. And I agree with you, but the thing is, they change. They change season to season.

They'll change even, like, succession, the names change. The names change, I'm not sure. Yeah, that's true even like succession the names change the names change I'm not yeah, that's true based on the cast and who gets promoted to series regularly and I never see our names But yeah, we we are not gonna be on that show. It's over what yeah, I'm sorry spoiler. Yeah, sorry to break it to you Well, who's gonna? Who's gonna succeed? not us succeed. Not us. Um, what's your royal decree? My royal decree is going to be old and frumpy and boring. But I decree that you should register to vote today's election day. It's

an off cycle year. It's not a no house of representatives, no national elections. It's an off cycle year. It's not a no house of representatives, no national elections. It's not Glitzrey, Glammy elections, but it's an important one. It's so important. All politics is local. I am a huge believer that you should absolutely register to vote. Make sure you know where your polling place is.

Pick a news source, watch it, listen to it. I know this sounds like preaching stuff, but it's so important, especially local municipal state elections have an impact on every single aspect of your life, more than the stuff that gets all the attention on social media and cable news. So register to vote, do your research, and go vote because it does matter, it really does.

Taylor Swift even said it. And if Taylor Swift said it, then it must be true. That's, that's law. That's decree. Hey, thanks for listening, gang. Thanks, guys. We're gonna have some special guests coming up. Yeah, we do, we have a nice lineup of guests coming up.
