Oprah’s Reputation Rehab, Meghan Markle’s Media Mayhem, and Ryan Reynolds’ Comeback Desperation

[LAUGH] That is video number two.

“Done by trouble maker Jessica Cardosa of Ted,”

making his way through the Mean Streets of Manhattan into the nerve studio taken my chair. Welcome to the nerve. Hello and welcome to your Friday edition of Good Earth. I'm your host, Moringe Callan, and as we decompress and gather from

the earthquake, the bombshell after bombshell dropped by none other than lady C, regarding Harry's reported alleged extramarital affair. And apparently it's not just any affair. No, no, no, no, lady C's reporting. Harry is in love and the other woman is in love with him.

If you didn't see the nerve at night, run, don't walk, run.

“As I said before, you will leave a different person than when you entered that episode.”

Trust. We have so much to get to our Friday edition of the week in celebrity wrap up,

bang up wood shedding, wood shippering first Oprah Oprah,

thinks that she has successfully explained away, her sit down with Harry and Megan from years ago. And that goes to show you just how toxic brand Sussex is. Oprah is dragging this back into the news cycle. She could have left it alone.

But she clearly feels that she needs to explain herself. Teddy will not be taking this under consideration, Oprah. OK, and I just also, I have to make the announcement that Teddy is safely on route. He is in the air to Montesito, Stedman.

“We've had to downgrade that a little bit.”

Don't think for a second, Oprah and Gale that we're allowing this case to go cold.

We're not that the hunt for Stedman remains active. But Teddy right now, top priority is on masking this mystery woman in Montesito. And he just went to the groomer, so he's undercover. OK, it's not the same hair. Not the same Teddy used on the cold open.

OK, then we've got some updates regarding at one Andrew Cohen, Bravo Andy. He still has the nerf locked. Guess what, you trick? We can still see what you're up to on social media.

Now, before we show and talk about this most damning clip, it's a trick of the diaphragm, that's it, Lady C, the inimitable Lady C, posted this to X on July 22nd, and I have to

share it with you guys, it's too good, Lady C wrote, it's intriguing to see how the warm turns and riggles when it's been caught out and is intent on pretending that it's

Oprah Winfrey is trying to salvage the wreckage of her journalistic reputation which

“she is responsible for when she sat by an allowed Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to”

brazenly lie in that infamous interview when the con artist par excellence asserted that the palace wouldn't be granting Archie the title of Prince because of concerns over the darkness of his skin color. A total lie, they would have been thrilled if there had been a little more cafe to counter balance the lay of his complexion.

Now Oprah Winfrey is trying to pretend that the soft ride she gave the con artist par excellence

was journalistic integrity instead of the racist solidarity that it in fact was. Lady C continues, "I've had a very low opinion of Ms. Winfrey since 1993 when her people wanted me to appear on her show. I was already committed to doing another show in California and told them that a woman of her word doesn't chuck a lesser show for a greater one just because the offer arises.

The response and I quote, "If you don't do this, will blacklist you," closed quote. Lady C continues, "I told them to do precisely that as I would not be succumbing to black male nor could I be induced to behave dishonorably just because her show was bigger." I need to pause here and tell you guys a side note. Lady C is indeed the real deal and everything she wrote landed with me squarely.

I'm going to say a month or so ago, the nerve hit a little speed bump, we got some

“blow back in the culture. I, in particular, found myself, how would I put this?”

There were friends of mine and friends of the nerve. I thought they were my friends. I thought they were my friends and the minute this happened, I quickly realized who my real friends were. It was discombobulating enough, I think that's the word, discombobulating. When something happens and you kind of can't believe it, you're like, "I have to get over

my disbelief really quickly because this is a thing that's happening." I reached out to Lady C, I texted her because she had invited me to this gala, she has every year for military veterans. I said, "Lady C, I don't know if you're aware but I've

“hit something of a speed bump and apparently I'm a little bit controversial right now."”

So, if my presence at your gala would in any way be a distraction, I completely understand. She wrote me back immediately and do you know what she said to me? Some in substance, I won't read the text itself, that's a private communication. Some in substance, Lady C, said to me, "My dear, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't know what's going on." Nor does it matter to me. What you're talking about is not the done thing in our world.

I would never, nor would anybody associate with, ever consider disinviting somebody because

they've stirred up a little bit of controversy. In fact, she said, "I'm even more excited to welcome you. I cannot wait to see you." That's a real person. That's a genuine, good, decent person. And so, Lady C is, was, and always will be beloved here at the nerve and with me personally. Continuing from Lady C's post, that interview also laid the ground for the vitriol, which the late queen had to contend with for the last years of her life. As Winfrey, Pary, and

Meghan, racistly played the race card, it made out that Queen Elizabeth II, knowingly and cynically headed a racist organization called Empire 2.0, despite her contribution for decades to racial harmony. And now Winfrey hopes that we'll have forgotten how she joined forces with two of the greatest race beters of our time to discredit a monarch and a monarchy, just so the three of them could make a shed load of money. The vicious, ruthless, vindictive woman,

ruined her reputation, but there's no injustice there. She did it because she's anything but

“the woman she presents herself as being she's ghastly and all the money and explanations in the”

world can't change that fact. Wow, just Lady C have a way with words. Let's take a look at what Oprah's trying to do this week in terms of her reputational crisis management, rewriting her own history. She, again, she did not have to do this. She did not, this is someone of Oprah's magnitude. I mean, she is hurt, listen, the nerve, we're a very young show. But, you know, by the time we're in year three to four, Oprah, Oprah will be a shell reputationaly of what she's still scamming

most people, you know, that she is. This was posted on July 21st, 2026. She's reviewing, like she's watching the game tape, her interview with Harry and Megan from March 7th, 2021, and she's going to explain that what we're seeing and hearing isn't what we're seeing and hearing. Here we go. I need to do this for my family. This is not a surprise to anybody. It's really sad that it's got to this point. But I've got to do something for my own mental health, for my wife's.

I'm furped for all, she's as well, because I could see where this was headed. They didn't want him to be a prince or princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol and that he wasn't going to receive security. What? It was really hard. Well, first of all, this is in Montesito. It's just right down the street from them. It's right down the street from me. This had been postponed probably three times, because this was 2021.

I was still in my crazy, I can't leave the house period. So, I didn't leave the house for three

“or two or two days. By the time we finally sat down, I think they were both ready.”

They didn't know, obviously, anything that I was going to ask them. But I had said to them ahead of time, I'm going to have to cover everything. This interview took three and a half hours.

And as there's always a case for me, I want it to be a win-win for you. So, I was just trying to

carefully go through everything that had come up in the past. I've always valued independence. I've always been outspoken, especially about women's rights. I mean, that's the sad irony of the last four years. As I've advocated for so long for women to use their voice. And then I was silent. Were you silent or were you silenced? The latter. Okay, very nice. I don't think I've done it since. I don't know where the heck of that came from.

Whoops, okay. I wanted to be clear because was she silenced? Were people telling her not to talk?

“Were people? That's why I said that. I said it for clarification because I didn't want later”

to hear, well, it wasn't that. It really was that I was silenced. They wouldn't let me talk.

So, it was all for clarification. Oh, thanks, Oprah. Okay, several things. First, she says,

you know, this interview was postponed three times because I was crazy. I wouldn't leave the house. I don't believe for a second that these wealthy celebrities on their enormous estates. Oprah probably has like hundreds and hundreds of of the feet of acreage. You know, like, hundreds, you know what I mean? Her acreage is like enormous. So she's going outside. They're all going outside and wants to see, you know, it's rules for the not for me. I think it was the Sussexes

who probably postponed it multiple times. I think Harry was probably like, do I do this? Like, there's no coming back if we do this. Secondly, she says, I said to them, listen, I want this interview to be a win-win. I do this all the time. I want this interview to be a win-win. Excuse me. Now you're now you are in the business of propagandizing. That's propaganda. I want your version of events, whether it's factual or not fair or not, whether you're

attempting to blow up the monarchy because you're upset that you're not getting everything you want. The Queen said no half in and half out. Now you're having the rage explosion of all rage explosions. I want this to be a win for you. How about, okay, then she glides over, Megan, saying, yeah, they're not going to give this child the title of Prince of Princess and they're not going

isn't 100% white. And Oprah goes, what? Oprah doesn't push back. Oprah doesn't say,

“do you have proof of this? Did anybody over here this? See this? This is a bombshell. You're saying”

that Queen Elizabeth, who had a decade's long deep friendship with Nelson Mandela, you're saying Queen Elizabeth is a racist? Really? Do you understand that you're leveling these charges while Prince Philip is on his deathbed? Harry, are you okay with this? Are you fine with this? Then she says, if that were the live wire in the piece, wait, were you silent or were you silenced, that she asked that for clarification as if that is not baked into that

follow-up question? We're not idiots, Oprah. We understand when a follow-up is to clarify an answer

that is either vague or has not been properly enunciated. So we can't hear it. This is not

“what this controversy was about. This controversy was about you, positing yourself as a journalist,”

you know, Oprah used to roll around in the mud with the rest of the daytime talk show host. It was satanic, panic, you know, it was who's the father? It was all this bullshit, you know, and then she got high on her own supply. And she became all about like, you know, lifting yourself up and living your best life and all this shit. That's who she is at her court. She is a tabloid creature. And when she heard Meghan Markle, you know, say that, you know, there were conversations

about how dark the baby's skin would or wouldn't be and Oprah paused for effect. And she went, what? And you saw her eyes widen. You can see the whites of her eyes. And it was it was it was barely disguised glee on her face because she knew she had the fucking money quote of all money quotes. And that was going to go viral. And she was fine with it. She was fine with it. Now, it's no longer fashionable. Now, everybody's come to realize what two pieces of shit,

Harry and Meghan really are. They're disgusting. They're disgusting. And Oprah's trying to to get their stink off of her good luck, sister. Good luck. You know, now for nothing, Teddy's going to be in Montesito. And he is undercover. We've got security with him, by the way. Okay. He can handle himself. But, you know, he's he's he's like going into like the celebrity remunit triangle of darkness. You know, Harry, Meghan, the other woman, Oprah,

Gales probably up there. Who knows what's going on? Okay. Now moving on to Andy,

Cohen, one Andrew Cohen. Okay. This was amazing. The timing of this stuff impeccable.

The nerves mini dropped like almost two weeks ago now. Okay. One week and one day after our mini aired in which we opened it by saying, guess what, Andy Cohen has blocked the nerve on social media along with me personally, Marlena personally. And one of our producers personally, he went Instagram official with his new boyfriend. Instagram official. We're no longer sex party Andy. We're no longer drug-taking sex party Andy who's making lots of money off of the

human carnage that we cultivate, promote, promulgate, no, no, no, no, no. We're wholesamanding now. You know, yeah, of course there's like this major lawsuit coming up in September that's accusing him of all manner of degradation. This has nothing to do with that whatsoever. No. Don't be silly. Now, Bravo officially announced this on their official website, just to hammer it home. Okay.

“And then before their report, they put some key takeaways on top of the report. So it's like a”

little cliff notes version for everybody in case they in case reading the full report, it proves to to challenging. So the key takeaways are per the official Bravo report. Number one, Andy Cohen made his relationship with boyfriend Instagram official by sharing a date night photo on July 18th, 0.2 Bravo personalities, including Kyle Cook, Kate Chastain and aside Kate Chastain being the Bravo celebrity who was next to Andy in that video that was sent allegedly to Brandy Glandville,

in which Andy's eyes were better than usual. Like they were blacker than usual. He looked

Andy and Kate Chastain saying to Brandy and this is graphic. I'm just going to warn you. Hey,

“Brandy, guess what? Guess what? We're fucking tonight. And you know what we're going to do. We're”

going to talk about you the whole time. So it's almost like you're here. It's like we're having a three-sum. Do you want to join? Do you want to join us on FaceTime? That was Brandy's boss. Other Bravo personalities, including Tamara Judge and Captain Sandy Yon publicly celebrated the couple in the comments. Point number three, Andy Cohen revealed. One on pins and needles. The couple met at a Hampton's party in the summer of 2025. Definitely not a sex party. Definitely not.

And said his boyfriend has formed a strong bond with his children after a slow and intentional

introduction into family life. Here's the photo. Again, we're domesticated Andy now. Okay. Posted this pick on July 18th, five days later, a summer Friday, the caption date night, Heart emoji star emoji rainbow emoji sun emoji thunder emoji. Days after that. Andy posted this video. Now this video wound up in my feed because it went out to page six and other news outlets. I guess Andy does want to make sure that we at the nerve

can see what he's up to even if he's he visually, patchulantly, childishly blocked us. I guess like on principles of Andy Cohen as principles, moral ethical or otherwise, get the fuck out. Because I mean, this thing, again, the the fates fortune, what have you smiles upon the nerve? They want the nerve to continue growing and winning. And it was it was 12 minutes after when I checked Instagram. And here this was top in my feed. You know how we talked in the mini.

We we buttoned up Andy's sad life and career of just degradation and grossness.

An a lack of talent really because he's stuck at bravo. He'll never get out of bravo.

Despite, you know, openly lusting for like that chair next to Kelly Rippa. Like one of his friends, one of his friends from the mountains. Kelly knows. She's she's no dummy. Andy, we we buttoned that whole segment up by reminding

“everybody that and that the possibly the worst thing Andy has ever done was dumping his dog.”

His dog of like seven years named Waka who he went on and on and on about on that sad late night talk show. He hosts in any number of books that he's published on social media. Waka had changed his life. Waka had made him a different man, a better man. What's better than a dog? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Seven years later he dumps the dog. Any blames it on having a baby. Let's roll this video of Andy on July 22nd. It was posted on

Andy's Instagram on July 22nd. Guess what are you doing now? He's definitely not reacting to the nerve. He's definitely not reacting to the nerve. He's simply reuniting with the dog he dumped. Here we go.

“I am happy to report that I am with an old old friend. Have you seen him over? Why the sun glasses?”

The dog is thoroughly disinterested in him. He's like, yeah, I smell it. I don't I don't change my life. Open me up to everything and I'm so lucky and I'm so much better for it. This dog is like getting out of here. Sure, Andy. Okay, that's it. Here's you want my impression of Andy. Just based on things that most of everyone in the media has heard low these many years. This this would be a more accurate depiction of what Andy's up to on a sunny summer day.

Now, on to Andy's major crush slash pal John Hamm. Okay, for those of you of a certain vintage, but I'm speaking to my fellow gen Xers. If you worked in media at any point or like a huge fan of what would I call it? Like cool Britannia, you know, the 90s. You were an R a subscriber to Poppitch, which is this amazingly. Like it started out as a very what I call it. It was like such an it was almost analog for the digital age and it still comes in and this very elemental

always got this great bitchy like, you know, the real stories behind the scenes at like,

you know, television studios, film, night clubs, like they're everywhere. They've got people everywhere. So this wound up in my inbox. I still subscribe to Poppitch. The July 23rd edition, they had an item, which I have to share about John Hamm at the World Cup in New Jersey. I'm going to read from the report. It was a star studded affair, obviously. Over a lot, over a less than exciting football match. Again, this is written from a British perspective. American broad casters

reached peak America with cameras pivoting to celebrities in the stands almost as often as they showed. John, I don't know who that is. Okay. Among the coft and perfectly camera ready, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Timote, Shyamalama Ding-Dong and Kylie Jenner, Ania Taylor Joy, Ferrell, Williams. Oh, my god, confidently misidentified as Asap Rocky by a BBC commentator. It's not good. Mr. Beast, the entire Beckham family minus Brooklyn, Poppitch, Poppitch reports, just Poppitch's report,

making a less than media safe appearance on the jumbo tron. John Hamm, who was spotted by fans,

“quote, absolutely shit-faced in the stands. Ms. Guy, you know, he used rehab. I think he used rehab.”

He claimed he had a really heavy alcohol problem, possibly drugs. I believe it. I something I don't believe it, but I do believe that first, if there have been subsequent ones, I think there may be, but I could be wrong. The first major announced rehab visit. I do believe the timeline was very close to him dumping his girlfriend of like 20 years Jennifer Westfelt, who really helped him get a leg up in Hollywood and who supported him during all those years that he struggled and who accepted

his, you know, position that marriage was just a piece of paper and they didn't need that, and he definitely didn't want kids. And then he goes and he dumps her and he marries a woman half of his age. He was like, you know, an extra madman. You know how we feel about John Hamm over here.

He nearly killed a flat pledge in college and got away with it and we will never at the nerve

let him get away with it. Now on to two dubious decisions by the Hollywood reporter number one, Ted Lasso is returning soon for its final season. And Jason Sudekis is on their cover and Jason Sudekis also has a coming. Just he's going to be, we're going to cover him on the nerve. Okay. And here he is like joking around with his fellow cast members, you know, like how to wanting him basically said like, he makes life on set of living hell. But you know, there they are

happy, happy family and the headline is better off Ted. And I saw that I was talking to Marlene about it and I was like, wait, what the Hollywood written there's only one Ted who matters. I think

in mainstream media at this point in the media at large the nerve is not mainstream. We always

want to be on the outside. We want to be on the fringes. We want to be, we want to be the outside

“or that's what we want. But you know what I'm saying? Like, Teddy deserves more. And I think there's”

only one Ted who should be on the cover with that headline, Teddy Van Halen, Teddy Van Halen, take a look at this. Oh my god, we have got to get this framed. We've got to get this framed and ready for our Emmy livestream. This is a work of art. Now to the second, and that by the way, that's Paul from New Zealand's depiction of Teddy Van Halen. The Hollywood Reporter also named John Mer, their philanthropist of the year. And that showed up also in my feet like he was on the red carpet. He's

all cleaned nice looking, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The nerve also has a John Mer segment planned. And it's going to be a juicy Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds, look at this line up of offenders. We, you know, we have moved Ryan into a fire retardant segment of the wood shed. We will see how that goes.

“He, now he, he's been keeping a low profile. Remember, we showed, we talked about this on the”

nerve at night with Rob Blake lively with like now her, her, her, like much degraded, like girl Posse, like nobody really famous to hang out with her anymore. You know, they've all dumped her

Psycho arsonist Ryan Reynolds is attempting to get his movie career going again with two projects.

One, it's been announced by Variety that Ryan Reynolds's maximum effort company is among the producers or the executive producer. I don't know. They're producing spy school and that's in the works at Disney Plus. I would like to ask Bob Eiger and the executives at Disney Plus. How it is that a psycho arsonist who is caught on his own bonus commentary for Deadpool V Wolverine, joking with his director about his small daughter who is then seven years old, begging him,

begging him, dad, I don't want to say this piece of dialogue. Please don't make me say it, said piece of dialogue being, hey, when I want your opinion, I'll take Wolverine's dick out of your mouth and Ryan and his director then went on to joke about how funny it was that she was so desperate not to say it. And so what did they do? They made her repeat that line of dialogue 50 to 500 times. How is Ryan Reynolds fit to produce anything for children? Anything. He's also a psycho arsonist.

What do you guys fucking thinking over there? Hollywood reporter Ryan Reynolds confirms another Deadpool movie which he did recently at Fanatics Fest, 2026. And I've got a piece planned on Fanatics, on Michael Rubin, that sad runt of a millionaire who pays all of these famous people to come out to the Hampton's once a year and pretend to be like Tom Brady is among them and he's destroying

destroying his legacy. So anyway, Ryan was there and here's what he had to say about the

cultural need. We need Ryan thinks yet another Deadpool film. Here we go.

“It's the the audio's bad, but Ryan sitting there saying, you know, I think there's some really deep”

cuts from the comics that need to be brought to the big screen. I mean, these like studios are out of their minds. If they think most people have any interest in putting money in Ryan Reynolds's pocket, we've seen behind the curtain. We understand that he and his wife are monsters. That's the cultural jury verdict. They're fucking monsters. We don't like them. We don't want them. We're not going to see their movies. Go ahead, bankroll it. Bankroll it. Now, as discussed in our intro, you know, there

is a new, sprightly 900-year-old heroin in downtown New York City, giving Sarah Jessica Parker a run for her money and the connective tissue here is of course Andrew Cohen. As we know, Andrew Cohen is one of SJPs BFFs, which I mean, the more we learn about Andrew, really makes you wonder about

“Sarah, doesn't that? And Carol Radzwell. Now, Carol, infamously, was fired from the show. She I think”

she says she quit, but she was definitely fired. My supposition, based on many years, watching this and understanding how the machinery works. Carol got into spectacular feud with Bethany Frankel and at a three-part reunion, Bethany Frankel demolished demolished Carol Radzwell and Anthony Andrew sat there with Glee and watched it happen and was

like, you know, his eyes were going like this. You know, he's never more alive than when women

are really tearing each other apart. And, you know, Carol huffed off and she was like, listen, I'm serious journalist. I worked at ABC 50 years ago. I covered the Ted offensive. Maybe you know that. Maybe you're familiar. Oh, and by the way, John of Kennedy's Junior in Carolina in Biscet, Kennedy, where my best friends, in fact, they were family. They were really, they were family. You know, I did, I married some guy with cancer and he died, but, you know, really, the

“important people here, J.F. K. Junior in Carolina in Biscet, okay. So, Carol has come back”

crawling on her hand's knees. She's back on the real housewives of New York, which she wants, you know, again, said she was way too good for. And then when she got fired from Roney, she was really at loose ends and like she was selling her used underwear on the posh mark. Couldn't make it up. Couldn't, but she's classy. She's a Kennedy, you know, she thinks Kennedy's in class like co-exist, you know, she's still living in 1962. But, but the point being Carol is back and this is how

as a friend of, which means you're in a supporting role. You're not in every episode. You don't drive story and you get paid less. But she was bumped up to a full-time cast member because of her association with Galane Maxwell. They were like, "This, don't you know, allegedly reportedly," Galane took the author photo for Carol's memoir about JFK Jr. Carolyn Bissette Kennedy and some guy she married, who died of cancer. But she's like, I barely knew her, man. Barely knew her. So, it was the

Epstein connection that gets Carol an apple and gets Carol sent her stage in that, you know, the photos, the promotional photos with the cast lined up horizontally, whoever's in the center is the star of the season. Don't you know, and Carol's the fucking star. Oh, and Andy also gets his humiliations in

“by, you know, the the mean stuff about Carol's looks, which, you know, I think his fair game because”

Carol presents herself as a raving beauty. Raving beauty. She really, she really has a self regard for the ages. You know, the the meaner corners of the internet, and I'm only raising this now because it's in the fucking trailer. So, it's fair game. Have compared Carol Rods will, they say that her doppelganger is aerosmith Steven Tyler. And once you see it, you really can't unsee it. Here's a little mashup of Carol's appearances in the Roni trailer, which was just released this week.

Here we go. Carol, the winner of the Steven Tyler. Look, the like contest. I can't believe I'm back.

I think we never went to this island. No, you think I'm part of an international

“sex trafficking, or everyone's American love story is my American heart story.”

But don't ask her about it. Do not ask her about JFK's junior and Carol and beset Kennedy. That is uncouth. Leave her to her privacy and her dignity. Do not be starfuckers and ask Carol Rads who will about those two, even though she just dropped in Ryan Murphy's American love story. Love story. Actually, it was just love story. Carol got ahead of herself there because back then, when they were filming, it was called American love story.

Then they just shortened it to love story. Then she made a play. Like, it's my American heart story. Can't wait. Can't fucking wait. Here's Carol on her Instagram. Announcing, I'm back. Oh, how original. She prides herself on being a writer. Look at her. She's

“wearing latex, head to toe, glossy burgundy latex with her hair up in a high pony and she's”

tugging at it and she's making a sextal face. Like, she's posing like a sextal, like a Kardashian. Does your makeup routine feel way too complicated?

And so the nerve will continue to rise because AI is verboten here unless we are turning 1080 or any number of power aliens into doing human stuff. Then AI is fine. Otherwise, it's verboten here at the

nerve. Okay, consider this paragraph. Vivian, who is born alongside her twin brother knocks. Born alongside her twin brother. Yeah, you fucking doops. Twins are born together. They're

“born together. But they're not born alongside. Okay, one comes out first. That's why there's”

always one twin who's older. They don't come outside by side. It's not like picking up a two

for one at the drug store. Okay, now this joke has been going around online and I thought it was so funny that it's becoming so fashionable in Hollywood to drop the name pit that HBO Max's the pit is now just going to be known as the... I love it. I honestly think that ultimately this will all round to Brad Pitt's benefit and that, you know, as discussed with Rob, like many of us had very difficult parents, very difficult parents, to drop your legal surname is a very drastic

measure that I don't think really naturally occurs to most people. And if you do decide you

“really do want to change that name, you either do it through marriage or you just do it privately,”

like you don't make a big, you don't, you don't, you press releases about it every five fucking minutes. You know, this is like really fucking sick. It's really sick. Another Nepo, another Nepo to discuss one Tracy Ellis Ross who is out doing a ton of press, really almost too much press for us to keep track of here at the nerve because, you know,

her second season of solo traveling has dropped on Roku and you know the first season of solo

traveling. It was one of our very first minis. It really resonated with the troublemakers and it inspired the nervey traveler and now that there's season two of solo traveling,

“of course there's season two of the nervey traveler and in fact later today,”

Belinda and I are having a zoom with team nerve regarding logistics and, you know, it's happening. So Tracy, we're watching what you're up to over on your travel special. Anyway, so Tracy showed up at the today's show on Wednesday. This is July 22nd. And by the way, by the way, her show was such a piece of shit. Like the takeaway was, number one, she engaged in the Holy Disgusting Act of dry brushing her entire body on an airplane and

treating that airplane like her personal bathroom and having her dead skin flakes sucked up into the circular ventilation system of said aircraft and so everybody else could inhale them. And number two, she went to three foreign destinations and barely left her hotel room. And her self-talk and her talk to the camera, her talk to her ostensible audience, moronic. I'd like so many people who are kind of like, you know, I mean, she's, she's, she's brain dead adjacent to me, you know,

what, what she does to compensate for her lack of intellect, curiosity, her ability to articulate a single thought is she just laughs at everything, everything's fucking hysterically funny, hysterically funny. Anyway, Tracy is making Chanel Jones over at the today's show. Look good by comparison. That is a heavy fucking lift. It's a heavy lift. She's doing a show on Broadway and I got a

introduction on today. Here we go. We are back with the one and only Tracy Ellis Ross from her

breakout role on Girl Friends to the laugh out loud, blackish and her recent Broadway debut in every brilliant thing. She has done it all. And now, Tracy is taking us along for more epic adventures in season two now of her documentaries. It's called solo traveling where she discovers incredible places around the world and the joy of her own company hotel rooms. All right, let's just say a little bit more important. Enjoy. Okay, thank you. God, do you have me? Oh boy, see if we remember

how to do this. Oh boy. We make a nice, sexy turn. Woo! I'm just like Sylvan. Woo-wah. Oh boy. Oh boy.

Now where are we going? We're going to go down to the forest. Okay. Oh Jesus. Hey, never mind. I always

have like, self-talk, but I think you're undefeated. The inner dialogue. Oh boy. Oh boy. Woo.

“That's, that's what she has to offer. Like, she's skiing in Guestad.”

Real housewives of New York all back. It's like, mascara, eyeliner, John John cocaine, something like that. Um, but I think that was Bethany's description of Sony Morgan. Um, she's going, oh my God. Oh Jesus. Oh, help me. Oh, look, I'm doing sexy pose. Like, this is a woman in her mid 50s who grew up as the daughter of Diana Ross and went to boarding school there. That's the education she came out with. Now she's calling her show's premise,

wander, ponder, and be. I think she thinks it sounds clever or like, some team at Roku came up with that and thought it sounded clever. Now, did Chanel ask Tracy about her disgusting habit of dry brushing on airplanes and if she has stopped that yet. No, no. She did not, but baby steps

here. First, we're going to begin with Chanel mentioning for those out in in the audience who may

not be aware of who Tracy's legendary mother is. Chanel is going to mention it and Tracy is going to be in sufferably smugg about it. Here we go. So I read a quote somewhere that your your mom Diana Ross taught you exciting excitement of the same things. Who who's that you know, Diana Ross is a legend and without Diana Ross, Tracy would be, and I mean, no disrespect because honest work is honest work, but Tracy would be like, stack in the shelves at Costco. You wouldn't even let Tracy

run a reception desk and be like the first point of customer interaction. She would be somewhere where like you just out of sight, out of sight. Now, Tracy is going to talk about her belief and she says her mother told her this, I have theories that anxiety and excitement are the exact

“same thing. They are not. Here we go. That's what my mom always used to say when I was younger. So”

they are the same. They feel the same in your body. They just have a different label. But the thing for me, no, they don't got an older that I've changed it to, is that anxiety and excitement are the same thing, but one doesn't have breath. Chanel is making a face there. She's saying, oh, like that's interesting, but she's kind of making a face like what anxiety and excitement are not the same thing at all. Anxiety comes with an accompanying feeling of dread. Anxiety can come with an anxiety attack,

a panic attack where you feel like your body is out of your own control, which only like increases the anxiety attack. Okay. Excitement is just pure excitement and joy and it just gets you going and it's like they are absolutely two different fucking emotions. How is she an actress? She doesn't even understand the basic physiological reactions of the human body and I just think her mother told her that to just calmer the fuck down. You know, she's probably a very needy, demanding child,

“and I think her mother just figured out a way to manage that problem down. I really do. Here is how”

here's Tracy describing how her career has made her comfortable with her anxiety. Here we go. My career, I've had to get very comfortable with anxiety. It's part of what I do. And so it's

into it anyway. And I trust that the work and the discipline and all that I worked to prepare

is there underneath me and that my feet will know where to go and I have the story to tell and I will be able to kind of deliver and be of service to the material. Because you know, that's the other thing is that when you're doing something like this, my job is not to be there to be about me. Chanel's face. That is a Craig Melvin like special. Like that is a what the fuck are you talking about special. Tracy's gammoring on just honoring on, you know my job is to be like in service

to the material. It sounds very make and mark away. My job is to be in service to the material. Your job is to act. You're a fucking actress. Your job is to memorize your lines, hit your marks, project to the back of the theater and your job is to just do your fucking job act. You know, these people act like they're performing open heart surgery every night. She says I say to the team every night, are you sure I can do this? A team that is certainly like a union theater team that's

making like 15 75 an hour. They don't give a shit about Tracy and whether she can do this or not. Jesus, she is a piece of effing work. She is so impressed with herself and she did something very rude in that interview. We're not showing the whole thing, obviously. But in talking about the

“one woman show, she's doing the one person show, I should say, she's doing on Broadway. I think”

it's called every brilliant thing. She goes, yeah, you know, other actors have done it before me. So,

you know, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever. She doesn't name those actors. The first I believe

was Daniel Radcliffe. Big deal. Big deal. The second, the one she inherited it from Mariska Hargitay. I thought it was really beyond classless, not to mention either one of those actors. And I think that's Tracy for you. I think she's an insecure piece of work. On to Megan Markle, who as ladies see exclusively reported on the nerve at night, allegedly knows about Harry's reported alleged relationship with this other woman because she found text messages on his phone.

And I think this is why we are seeing less of Megan Markle. And what we're hearing of Megan Markle is nothing but sunshine, rainbows, reconciliation, and letting her husband take the lead

“when it comes to making up with his family. I think we have lost all of our leverage to she”

think that this appearance to which she reportedly allegedly invited herself. She invited herself onto Master Chef Australia reportedly. When she and Harry were doing their last foe royal tour of that poor continent. And they said yes because I guess you know eyeballs or eyeballs, clicks and likes or clicks and likes. Now it's airing this Sunday. So it's airing two days from now and of course the nerve will be all over this of course of course. But until then let's

wet our appetite as it were. Shall we? We've got some advanced clips posted to Instagram by News 10 Australia or 10 News Australia on July 22nd. Okay now here's Megan standing there like the fucking idiot she is. Oh they're asking me for advice on how they should do in this reality show competition like how should they execute to the the best of their abilities. You know what? There's nothing. I don't know. I'm Megan fucking Markle. Here we go. There is a lot of pressure in this kitchen.

I don't like to cook that way. I like to cook in a really relaxed fashion so all I could say to the competitors was to just remember to have fun to keep a sense of humor about it and to cook from the heart. During a tour of the pantry she spotted a Megan signature on her. Oh one is contested might include this Megan off a date on her show. Flower sprinkles. If we must. It doesn't need to be big for a party. It's how you do incorporate these practices every day. Food and cooking to me is

“really a love language. I think it's such a great way to connect. It's something that can feel”

sentimental and meaningful and it's how I show my nurturing and love for my friends, family, my kids.

Oh is it? Is it? It's first of all. She's like my advice to them is to just have fun and you know

cook from a place of love and joy. Like what does that even mean? Like they're competing to be like

ship with Anthony Bourdain's kitchen confidential? Does she have any idea what goes on when you are

“a chef at that level? How's she watched the bear have fun? I don't want to develop an active”

drug habit. Don't get third degree burns. How about that when she says it's my way of showing

what? I love to cook in a relaxed fashion. That is some rich woman bullshit right there. Okay, most people do not have a kitchen that's the size of the average house in America in which they can roam around. Pick their organic produce that they got from their garden outside. Or dip in some honey that came from their beehive and the backyard shut the fog up lady shut up. Anyway, here's Megan showing some of her alleged love through food. The making of the serving

of the partaking of on her epically unwatchable Netflix show with love Megan. We've got three bangers for you. Here we go. This we're just going to put into it. She's opening it back. A store bought peanut butter products and I love these and much my mom does too. Again, she's got the self-talk of like a crazy Ellis Ross. He's pouring them into another

plastic bag. I know that Daniel loves peanut butter. I'm still going to label this. You always want to be

conscious if someone has a nut allergy. Which she could just text him. And in the world knows that Megan Michael has eaten shack in the box. It's a love funny too that you keep saying Megan Markle, you know I'm Sussex now is literally your favorite salad of all time. Beats, black olives, fennel, and chovies. Oh wow, that's like the, that's like the, everything, everything, everything, and pickles. So we begin. And again, we we recreated this incredible moment on with love Megan

with a Y in which Megan Kelly played the Megan Markle role. And I played the role of the quote unquote friend slash hostage active hostage situation. And we we spoofed the uh and there was no, there was no real spoofing. I mean, we literally did open a bag of store bought peanut butter pretzels and then decanted those into another plastic bag and and call that a hack. Call that elevating, elevating for, you know, your guest. And then the infamous, it's a funny, you keep calling

me Megan Markle. You know, Sussex now. You know, Sussex now. You know, Sussex now, got damn, Sussex now. Let's see for how much longer sister. And then her husband comes in again, another active hostage situation, her final episode, uh before the, or no, I think that was the holiday episode who cares, doesn't matter. And he comes in and he's like, oh, so what are you making? You know, not at all rehearsed or whatever. And she goes on to um list the ingredients of this salad and his eyes continue

“widening and disbelief as he says that's every ingredient that I hate and that's what you're”

making for me. This recalls, uh, I think she's a sadist, by the way. I think there are, you know, people speculate and I, it's fine. Let's speculate. What's wrong with Megan Markle? Is she a malignant narcissist alone? Just my opinion or also my opinion could she be what is known as a cluster B, which is like three distinct personality disorders all combined into a heavy stew that one that Megan might want to mix on her, you know, $8,000, softop or, or, um, she just evil.

She just evil and sadistic. I think I think everything's up for, like, possible a possible diagnosis as it were. Again, just my opinion. And the, um, sadistic Glee with which she is relaying to Harry. I'm making you the salad full of everything that you hate. Harry calls it the anti-Sala there.

“And you must have known I was coming. Um, reminded me of nothing so much as the report that, um,”

you know, it is always phrased very delicately, but reportedly allegedly when Megan was a working

royal, um, she, on, on, on toward Australia, no less. Okay. If I'm, if I'm the producers of Master Chef Australia, we're doing a challenge with some hot tea. Because she allegedly threw hot tea

from the UK mirror that was published on August 10th, 2025. It was not picked up by very many other

“media outlets, the Irish Times, Yahoo. We're among the very few that picked up this bombshell.”

And, and when you go to look it up, it's, it's, it's, it's kind of hard to assess really what went on here because it's gotten sanded down because these two are so litigious, but anyway, I'm reading from the UK mirror report in his explosive book titled Revenge Tom Bauer alleges that Megan was accused of, quote, abrasive behavior towards staff members and diplomats looking

back at the Sussexes visit to Sydney, Australia where they received an amazing reception. He writes,

quote, Megan was allegedly abrasive towards her four female staff and even towards the local British diplomats, according to one report, Megan allegedly threw a cup of tea into the air. I'm going to stop here for a moment. I, that does not track to me. Okay, I don't know of anyone who becomes, first of all, I don't know if anyone who had ever throw a hot beverage anywhere,

“I really don't, but I think she was so enraged and it was, it was raged directed at someone”

not the ether, which is hard to grab hold of. Why would you throw hot tea into the air? It just doesn't make any sense, right? Lady C and I have discussed this on the nerve continuing from the UK mirror report. Megan's anger may have been partly fueled by Harry, that fuck quit my side, quoting from Tom Bowers book every night. Harry, trolled social media searching for snide comments on the internet every morning. He and Megan turned on their phones to serve the

internet close quote to basically look for just come to me. Just come to me. I'll give you all of that.

I'll give you all of that to just to rage yourselves. Light you up with self-righteous fury. I'm here to serve. I mean, how dumb can you be? These are people who love to marinate,

“in rage, regret, recrimination. That's what lights them up.”

Lawyers on behalf of Megan, the mayor continues, have repeatedly denied that she bullied palace staff. My aside, even though Buckingham Palace allegedly reportedly has a file like this thick on that trick bullying people, allegedly reportedly even Prince William had to intervene and say to Megan directly, we don't talk to people like that in this family. And or the late Queen, even, and you know, you would think that would humble her, humiliate her, cause her to take a look at

herself. No, no. Again, just just from what I'm hearing, just well-founded reports, low the far too many years that Megan Markle has been in our lives. But you know, it looks like it looks like I was going to say Teddy looks like Harry's getting out and I will I will be eagerly awaiting Teddy's report from the field as discussed, texting is not his strong suit. He does not have a possible thumbs. It makes even dialing me difficult, but he will figure it out now. Finally, to our troublemaker of the week,

as discussed, you know, those troublemakers who exist in the celebrity cohort have been making themselves known. The latest Shaquille O'Neill interview with page six is Lauren Sarner published the July 23rd, 2026. So Thursday, here is Shaq, not wanting to be called a celebrity, because this is what he really thinks of celebrities. Shaq, we give it to you. Here's my phrase, celebrity's assholes. Thank you. The thing that I'm celebrity, but I'm just a regular person. Listen to his mommy and

daddy and follow my dream and his daddy trouble, but celebrities are weird. It really,

they're not just, I never want to be in that category. Shaq, welcome to the nerve. We think you will

trouble maker, and that the nerve sent you. We are back. Now before we get into trouble maker, art, dogs, and feedback, we must address more criminal activity over at the view. As we all know, the nerves eyes have been trained over at studio one a the today show for all the nefarious cultural goings on over there. And the view has thus far really escaped the nerves wrath, and we're coming. Just know that we're coming. Sunny Austin, she's going to be getting it

for who knows how long. You know, that trial. Her son is appearing in court on July 31st, and she is reportedly representing him in court. I personally feel like for the prosecution, it should be the nerve. We'll get to it in a minute, but joy be a hard. Joy be a hard. Who is one of the biggest loud mouths when it comes to bad men and sexual predation and sexual harassment and assault. Now that only holds, by the way, if you're a bad man, man, who is of a political

stripe that she does not agree with, then watch out that mouth. But you know, now joy, joy,

“committed what I think is like sexual assault. I would say in my opinion, this is sexual assault,”

Anson, Anson Mount, the very handsome, seemingly very affable actor, Anson Mount. I mean, I don't know him from Adam. You could be a nightmare in real life, but whatever, he doesn't deserve this. Okay, he was a guest on the view this week, and he walked out. And you know, joy, you know, her age is showing, you know, I'm not criticizing her for that age comes for us all, but she is often helped out onto that set. Like somebody is walking either very closely,

near her or is holding her by the arm. Somebody is always pulling out her chair, making sure she's

getting down into that chair. You know, it seems as though we are becoming a little more frail.

“She's well into her 80s, I believe. Sharp is attack, well into her 80s, and so she doesn't really”

rise anymore to meet the guests. So Anson Mount comes on. Now he's known for his role as Captain Christopher on the star trek trek franchise. By the way, Wippie Goldberg moderator of the view was part of the star trek franchise. And so she should be looking out for this guy. She should be looking out for this guy who is about to get molested by joy Bay Har on the view. This happened on July 22nd. If you are only listening to this show, this segment, I would implore you to go find the real

or watch this part of the show on YouTube. Here we go. It pulls him in and kisses him for several seconds. That his red lipstick all over his mouth

I can't, I can't with this. She's 83. He's 53. She is old enough to be his mother.

“You know, when Adrian Brody did that to Holly Barry, when she presented him with the best”

actor Oscar, you know, after me to everybody went back and looked at that through completely different lens and they were like, he grabbed her, he forcibly kissed her and dipped her. I was just like, hey, just when the Oscar, I felt like it. These women are beyond hypocritical, they're beyond loads. They are, they are a negative. They contribute, it's not that they contribute nothing to the culture what they contribute is a negative. We'll get to sonny and her darling son in a moment. Okay.

First, New Art from Paul from New Zealand, this came in hot on Thursday. He sent Megan

“Markle on Australian Master Chef. He writes, this artwork was drawn when the Sussexes were on their”

non-royal Aussie tour. I've resented as the Duchess goes on Aussie Master Chef episode dropping soon Paul directs our eyes to the plate of shit in Markle's hand and shit cooking in the pan. Shit was a running theme on the trip, Paul writes, her other hand is holding the tongues upside down exactly as she did in with love. Megan, Paul doesn't miss a trick. He has renamed Master Chef

Master Grift. Cheers, Paul, Paul, cheers to you and hello to Pam. Pam, I owe you an email. You wrote

me a really smart email. I'm going to reply. Hi, Marine. I too, again, that Howard Stern mini, it's still flying around. I too was a fan of the Howard Stern show once upon a time. I remember, though, during COVID, Howard was into painting and drawing and mentioned that he had purchased pens, colored markers and pencils from Amazon, but when they arrived, Howard was terrified of tearing open the plastic wrapping that the pens and the markers were in because he was so afraid that he would

“I believe this. He was so afraid that he would breathe in the air of the packaging because they”

came from China. So what did he do? He threw them all an open in the garbage, making sure to seal the bag securely. You can't make this stuff up. This is from someone, oh, your loving fit. This is so lovely, Laura. Laura, formerly of Long Island, another Long Islander, who writes, I would watch my back as far as Teddy is concerned. I think he's gunning for your job. You and me both sister. Laura includes a beautiful photo. Here is my sweet baby girl, Penny,

a hovenies. Penny is adorable. Morey, and I'll get to it. It's a mobero. I'm 54. Was successful enough, then wrote a book. Now, I'm separated, living on a ranch and driving in Uber, which is wildly enjoyable. Good for you. Without question, I'm seeking answers to life. Books, music, the good book, but was reminded by you, reporting on Jim Curtis in a plus hustler, if ever there was one, that redemption might be a few flaps away by seeing a stupid little yellow butterfly,

behold, deer mooring. I cannot believe how Jennifer Garner speaks about work. This is a trouble maker who had a personal interaction with Ms. Garner. Many years ago, Hollywood made a movie in local Massachusetts. Her ex has been home state where I worked as an RN registered nurse in a local hospital. The hospital was starting to close down. They were filming a movie in part of this hospital, and the stars of said movie were Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman. We were all pretty excited that

this was happening. Of course, exciting. Anyway, the crew was very nice and down to Earth. One day, I was standing outside of the hospital entrance with a colleague and Jennifer and Jason, Jennifer Garner and Jason Bateman walked right by us. So close, I could have touched them.

close enough that they would potentially feel that eye contact, and they would not even look

“our way. All I really wanted was a nod for a hello, but no such luck, trouble maker C.”

Not surprised, not surprised. Dear mooring, you deserve a purple heart for watching this lot for the troublemakers. Wow. Obviously, that is hyperbole, but sometimes I do feel as though I deserve hazard pay. It can be difficult. She is speaking of solo traveling with Tracy less Ross. I love that. By the way, I meant to mention in the earlier segment that Tracy Ellis Ross, while going to Chanel Jones, sorry, you named drop my mother, who's that Diana Ross.

Tracy Ellis Ross was born Tracy Joy Silverstein. Do you think she was getting in high-level auditions with the surname Silverstein? She was not. At some point, she decided to trade in the

“Joy Silverstein for Ellis Ross, and thus a career was born, and this nepo has been foisted upon us.”

She had to turn off solo traveling season two five minutes into the first episode, because it is

like watching someone, particularly a nepo, who has been told she is an attractive rank on tour for decades. Yes, trouble maker Tiffany. Yes. When really, she's a basic bitch, and you the watcher don't want to be the one to break it to her. She obviously has been listening to the nerve, because at least she didn't drive rush her way down under. I watched episode one too. We'll be covering it. We'll be covering it. And I noticed the same thing, Tiffany. Same thing. I was like,

she watched the nerve, and she's not drive rushing anymore. Hey, the nerve moves the culture, and does some actual contributing to it. Okay. Founding listener and Mowbro from Michigan here, trouble maker Jim, one thing to know about Howard Stern is he is a hack. We know Howard's listening.

“We know. That's why we're continuing on with this. Also, we know he was in the comments section”

making fun of my appearance. And for those of you trouble makers who wrote in and were very upset by that, don't be. I very much appreciate it, but it doesn't upset me. Again, Howard Stern, making fun of someone else's appearance. Okay. So Jim continues. I grew up in the Chicago area listening to radio legend Steve Dahl, one of the original shock shocks responsible for the infamous disco demolition. Howard Stern Jim writes lifted so much material from Steve going so far

as to do the exact bits Dahl had pioneered. That is plagiarism, my friends. Okay. That's sad. That's sad. Howard admits that he respected Steve, but outright denies. He stole anything from him. Even though Steve had aired certain bits several times and sometimes years before Howard had done them on the air, Steve's self-destructive tendencies held him back from going national, but he was huge in Chicago for decades and still has a very successful podcast. Had Steve got national,

Howard's theft of Steve's material would be far. Well, more well known and another one who remarks that Howard's cowardice during COVID is where I lost all respect for him. You are so not alone

with that. Okay. Now, we have two incredible emails, one including art that you're going to die

when you see it. And this, these troublemakers, troublemaker, Rick and troublemaker V, just know that you inspired everything to follow, which had everyone on team nerve cracking up as we were putting it together. Like in the moment, in the, like this was not originally part of the show. Like we paused for a moment and pulled this all together. It's too epic. Good. Okay. Now, Rick, troublemaker, Rick sent this image in, in honor of Gabriel Hauston, son of televisions,

Sonny Hauston, don't you know who I am, former federal prosecutor, can't you just let him off with a warning? My grown 24-year-old son who comes from a very wealthy privileged background.

it's like definitely not looking for anonymous sex or drugs. Definitely not. Definitely not. I mean,

definitely not saying he was up to anything weird, but like he said he was over there, working out. Okay. Okay. Sure. Anyway, Rick sent this sign, which we are throwing up now. No trespassing unless you're a geometry tutor and you know how to drive the factory and theorem at or calculate areas, violators will be prosecuted laughed out loud from trouble maker V. Please look up Sonny Hauston's son Gabriel Kai Hauston. His work history is very

strange and Sonny lied again. Sonny lied again. We stopped and we went to Gabriel's LinkedIn page.

First of all, look at this insufferability. Okay. The insufferability, the banner art is a latte in a

beautiful cup and saucer. Like it looks glazed and he's got, you know, the leaf has just been so delicately, delicately drawn on top with the foamy milk and then off to the side is Gabriel's head

“in a circle and underneath that it says hashtag open to work. I think based on Gabriel hanging out”

down by the tracks near the port of parties, he may be open to a lot. Again, just my guess, just my supposition, just my supposition. So Gabriel's linked in, oh, he's a, he identifies by a

pronouncing him interesting. Okay. Harvard grad, you know, again, Sonny hurts rets. He went to Harvard.

He's a Harvard grad. He's a Harvard grad. Like the whole, the gesturing she was doing like this, like, what are you, what are you doing with him? He's fine. He's a Harvard graduate. You know, he just, I'm just going to say this off handedly, like 800 fucking times. He teaches geometry to fourth graders in the Bronx. Sorry. South Bronx really poor. Really poor. Not that I'm using

“poor people to get my kid out of trouble. Let's look at Gabriel's work history. Shall we?”

This Harvard grad, who's otherwise so impressive, experience. Founder and lead, tutor, Gabriel, host in tutoring from self-employed from July, 2026 to present. So he says that's one month. Maybe LinkedIn only lets you go by months and not weeks, but this is weeks long. Because we're not through with July yet. We got collared by the cops in July. And, you know, our mothers hactoring and lecturing got it knocked down to a citation and not a misdemeanor.

So that was the other momentous event that happened in July, 2026. Next, teacher, New York City Department of Education, PS27 Bronx, to the New Rochelle PD and the MTA PD, who refused the nerves requests to answer why it is that Sunny's name was redacted in the body cam, cop, footage, and why her saying he teaches geometry to fourth graders in the South Bronx, why fourth graders in South Bronx was redacted even though these are public people. And this is

all public information. And they refused to answer us. Thanks. We found out on our own.

“Okay. So remember, Sunny, we're going to show the clip. We're going to show the clip.”

Or he's a Harvard grad, who teaches fourth grade geometry to his kids, double up. He teaches four, he teaches, hmm, he teaches geometry to fourth graders in the South Bronx. That tenure was from March 2026 to June 2026. This is Gabriel on his own LinkedIn page four months. So he no longer teaches geometry to fourth graders in the South Bronx. Well, you look at that. Would you look at that? Sunny lied. Just like she lied to the cops when they got her on the phone

initially, or Gabriel handed their iPhone talk to my mother. And she can be, she can be heard saying, tell them your mother is a federal prosecutor. Another lie. When Sunny arrived on the scene,

fucking minutes on the view. So she lied that Gabriel is actively teaching

“to kids in the South Bronx. He's not. He's not. He finished in June.”

Please, I could prosecute this case till kingdom come. I really could move on. So we quit that in June, which makes sense. Whatever real estate data analyst partnership overseer and CEO Shadow at Conservatory. CEO Shadow means his mother called in a favor. Most interns do not. This is listed as an internship. Do not start out with one shadowing the CEO.

Gabriel did that for one month. Growth and digital marketing lead. Sunny

hostile wines full time even though we were in college full time. July 2024 to December 2025,

“one year and six months. Look at that. Founder up divana dot shop self-employed March 2025 to”

July 2025. Five months. I tried to find that website. It does not exist anymore. It would seem. He said he designed and tested three natural supplement prototypes and then discontinued them. Co-founder and CEO of Ivy League mentoring June 2022 to January 2025 to years and eight months. We looked up Ivy League mentoring on Instagram. That page has 270 followers. And not very many posts. And so it was not difficult to find their appearance as seen on GMA,

as seen on Good Morning America. Guess what? At his mother's network, a fellow morning show that just happens to be into America nationwide. And here we see a photo of Gabriel. I guess with his co-founders and he's got his mother's smug fucking face. He's that same fucking smug in sufferable expression with his nose literally in the air. Just puffed out. Look at me. I'm a co-founder. So his main markals of founder. I mean Jack shit. Ivy League mentoring. We were excited to share

that we were featured on Good Morning America solely through their own merits. Don't you know? Of course. Back to Gabriel's impressive LinkedIn page. Host of the award winning podcast on text book. He did this from June 2020 to December 2024, which makes me believe this was a Harvard project that he got credit for because it is by far his longest tenure. AI implementation consultant and another CEO shadow. Hey, come on down. You're shadowing yet another

CEO. This was from July 2024 to August 2024. So two months, two months. And then finally,

a marketing consultant at a concern called Hush in Greenwich Connecticut again June 2024 to July 2024 to months. Now all of this and the open-to-work hashtag. You know, this really unimpressive employment history. One would think that someone with that much access and privilege, you know, who's getting off to a running start, worn on third would have you, would have a much more impressive

“story to tell on LinkedIn. And I think when I thought of that, plus Gabriel just, you know,”

rocket and roll and down at the train tracks near the gravel and the filth and the portapoddies and ignoring no trespassing sign after no trespassing sign that there is an industriousness there, but it just might need to be channeled correctly. If we could only channel that determination to hang out down by the train tracks and the portapoddies. And I had a conversation with Billy Bush on his hot mic's podcast, which dropped yesterday and it all just coalesced in my mind as this legendary

of troubled suburban teens. Here we go. Watch it the whole way through because you're not going to

“believe the symmetry here. The fates smile upon the nerve. Here we go. When I've heard,”

you're using your paper not for writing, but for rolling doobies. You're going to be doing a lot of

dooby rolling when you're living in a van down by the river.

Young lady, what do you want to do with your line? I want to live in a van down by the river. Well you left plenty of time living a van down by the river when you're living in a van down by the river.

“Now you kids are probably asking yourselves, hey ma'am, how can we get back on the right track?”

The right track. How can we get back on the right track Gabriel? Get yourself back on the right track. Sunny, attend to your troubled son just by opinion. That's it. That does it. That does it.
