Chapter 2: What are the latest updates on Tom Sandoval?
Yes, we did. But it was our first time we have ever left River. It was a very like.
That part sucked.
Yeah. We've traveled with her everywhere. We've gone everywhere. We've been like, let's fly my mom in to help us. Like we've, you know, we figured out a way to have River with us everywhere. Now we had just gotten back from Thanksgiving. She had been struggling with like getting over a double ear infection over Thanksgiving. So we were like, you know, let's make this trip in and out.
Let's fly my mom out to L.A. We left River at home with my mom for 36 hours, maybe.
We brought Derek.
We brought Derek with us. So instead of River, we had Derek. So Derek was sitting on your lap. Equally as good.
He fit really nice into the strap-on carry-on. I just had Derek right on me. Just kind of carried him through. It was great to have. Do you know what I found out about Derek? Did you guys not know this? I hope I can share this. We can kick it out.
He'll be editing this, I'm sure.
Tell us all of Derek's secrets. If you don't want this in your... Derek's dad is a 9-11 survivor. Derek's dad was working in the World Trade Tower.

Chapter 3: Who are the guests joining the episode?
Natalie thought of some good questions.
Of course I did.
Yep. On the plane. We took some edibles on the plane there. And Natalie popped up. She was like, I have a great question for this person. And this person, when she asked that question, you could tell.
They were like.
They were like, that is a great question. And this is a very thoughtful person.
But no, I'm definitely proud of us for, I think that's a huge moment.
We put this under dream guest category.

Chapter 4: What is Zaina from 'The Ultimatum' talking about?
A witness saw Kennedy and the woman arguing with the reality TV star allegedly grabbing her at one point, though were told officers did not see any visible injuries on her. After investigating the situation, police say they determined it was a domestic incident, leading to James being arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence. Sources say Kennedy was released after posting a $20,000 bail.
And then the arrest log came out. And in that arrest log, it says that James was arrested December 10th in a home in Burbank on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery upon a spouse or cohabitant after a unidentified woman inside stated her boyfriend lifted her up and threw her to the ground.
I don't know much about the law when it comes to this stuff, but how is the word battery and misdemeanor in the same sentence when it comes to domestic violence?
That is a great question. I feel like a lot of it, unfortunately, probably has to do to injuries and what the- Physical injuries.
Yeah, physical injuries and what the victim is willing to- So you have to be successful in your being a piece of shit and beating your partner?
in order for it or the victim has to be like you know my life was threatened yeah which anyways i mean fuck james uh i just i don't know i mean and then we talked obviously we ran into kristin doty maybe i guess i've been living under a rock but i guess james has a history of this uh it seems to really have been brought to light since his arrest i think we've all kind of watched james have a bit of a reactive temper on tv you know we never want to jump to conclusions but
I think it's sad because I think Kristen tried to talk about this, but I think everyone called her crazy. So no one believed her.
And when did Sierra, you've been obviously watching Vanderpump and following the franchise for a long time. How long is this? Like James is like, I mean, so ever since his arrest, what, you know, paying attention to it, it seems like this there, my understanding after the arrest, there's been like whispers of this type of behavior with James for a long time.
Now, can you elaborate on what, what on that?

It's plural. Best friends.

Kyle Chan's one of the best friends.
Sarah's right, because they were called vampires. Yeah. That they just stay inside.
Don't you ever want to grow up, guys? That's rhetorical.
