Speaker 3 (0:00) Come on. I'm fine with the way everything is. If we keep going, I just start drinking, and I'll start picking everyone apart. You want to go there? Who gives a fuck? You all know who I am. It's a joke. So it's almost like you sleep better at night by just being like, you do this, you do this, you do this. So what? So your lives are so perfect? Hey, what does that mean? What are you talking about? Hey, so what did you just Speaker 2 (0:23) say? Speaker 3 (0:25) I am the devil, and don't you forget it. Girl, Speaker 2 (0:27) what up with the mustache? I take sketch comics very seriously. The floor is bare. I'm not sure what I've done to you, but I'll take a peanut creachy. The only thing I have holding me back is that I have self-respect and dignity. Pumpcast. Speaker 3 (0:43) What's up, you guys, and welcome back to the Pumpcast. I'm Maddie Drospec. And I'm Meg Ruoco. And I have some devastating news about Peter Madrigal. What? He's AI generating himself signing with the Rams. No. Peter. It's Speaker 1 (1:00) like a hundred people DM'd the podcast account this today. No Speaker 3 (1:04) way. Peter, for seemingly no reason at all, is on Twitter, AI generating himself fake signing with the NFL. Hashtag LA Rams. Hashtag NFL. At Rams NFL. Prayer emoji. Prayer emoji. Prayer emoji. Speaker 2 (1:27) Do you think he did that to make fun of Jax's smart water campaign? Speaker 3 (1:32) I Speaker 2 (1:32) just, I feel that he's had a, such an incredible fall from grace. Speaker 3 (1:36) Yes. Well, like the fact that he used to be the guy with his head screwed on the most, which doesn't necessarily say a lot when we're looking at these people. Like he, a lot of times just looks great in comparison, but Speaker 2 (1:49) like he Speaker 3 (1:50) does have Speaker 2 (1:50) moments of Speaker 3 (1:51) clarity Speaker 2 (1:51) throughout the show. Yeah. Speaker 3 (1:52) And now he is. Speaker 3 (1:56) shilling bitcoin and making ai for no fucking reason at all i Speaker 2 (2:02) mean i guess that's like what happens when the smartest one of these people do business like the smartest they can possibly get is doing ai shit peter you're pissing me off peter don't pmo for Speaker 3 (2:15) real and then when i look at his page his header is all about pm coin why the fuck does peter magical need his own fucking coin Speaker 2 (2:25) Fuck. This is really tough because I do have to tell you that I've invested all of my money into PM coin. Everything we've made. Everything. Every single cent we've earned. Funneled every last dime of it into PM coin. Every single one. There's nothing left. I'm 500k in the hole. We're 500k in the hole. Speaker 3 (2:45) Yeah, Speaker 2 (2:45) I put your money in there Speaker 3 (2:47) too. Speaker 1 (2:48) I took Speaker 2 (2:49) the Speaker 1 (2:49) liberty. I Speaker 2 (2:50) took Speaker 1 (2:50) your money. I thought it was a sound investment. Speaker 2 (2:53) I thought it was a sound investment. I thought I was investing in the show. I thought I was investing in the show. Who Speaker 3 (2:59) on God's green earth bought PM coin? Nobody did. There's no shot that anybody did except for him. It has 135 followers. PM coin XYZ. PM Coin is a next generation cryptocurrency founded by Peter Madrigal. I can't keep hearing about this. Speaker 2 (3:18) Why did he do that? Speaker 3 (3:20) This is supposed Speaker 2 (3:20) to Speaker 3 (3:20) be Speaker 2 (3:20) a safe space. We're not supposed to talk about cryptocurrency on this podcast. Why? Why would Speaker 3 (3:26) Peter Madrigal make us talk about cryptocurrency? Peter. Oh, Peter. Why would you do this? Oh, Peter. Here we were wanting to throw you a palooza. We wanted to palooza you, Peter. And Speaker 2 (3:36) it Speaker 3 (3:36) turns Speaker 2 (3:36) out Speaker 3 (3:36) you are the loser. Speaker 2 (3:37) Yeah. Turns out you're just a petalooza. That is tragic. Peter, answer for your crimes. Yeah. You're... Okay, Speaker 3 (3:46) well, going back to the AI of it all, like, what is the reason? It's not even like he's like, oh, look at this. He's like being booming out on Twitter being like, oh, it's so cool. It looks like I'm Speaker 2 (4:00) a football player. He's pretending that it's real. He's like Speaker 3 (4:02) cosplaying in the tweet itself. Not only is he attaching the AI generated pictures, but he's like, do you remember when people literally used to make fake accounts to like cosplay as random people online? Someone used to do it to me. I was in like. high school and somebody made a fake account of me to like cosplay as me. Oh God. That's what Peter's doing to himself. Yes. On his main account. That's bizarre. Like this has to be some Speaker 2 (4:29) form of psychosis. I feel like a hundred percent. This is AI psychosis. He's experiencing Peter. Speaker 2 (4:38) If we throw you a Peter Palooza, you have to promise never to use AI again. And to get rid of your cryptocurrency. You know what? Fuck it. Let's let Peter play for the Rams. Yeah, put him on the Rams. Speaker 3 (4:50) He can dream it. Fuck it. Let's do it. What Speaker 2 (4:52) would he be, do you think? Offensive line? Is that like the... Speaker 2 (4:56) boofiest position? There's no way of knowing. Just put him in there. He can play all of them. Let me look it up. Football position. What is the Speaker 3 (5:06) boofiest football position? The Speaker 2 (5:08) linemen's Speaker 3 (5:09) offensive and defensive. Speaker 2 (5:10) Quarterback. Running back slash Speaker 3 (5:13) fullback. Wide Speaker 2 (5:14) receiver. Tight end. Hybrid player who blocks like a lineman or catches passes like a receiver. A center. The guards and the tackles. And then on defense, you have defensive linemen, players on the front line who rush the quarterback and stop plays. You have linebackers, versatile players behind the line who tackle runners. My brain is shutting the fuck off. Cornerbacks, fast defensive backs who cover receivers, and safeties. And they act as the last line of defense. Peter's the safety. He could also be a kicker or a punter, a long snapper, that's the person who snaps the ball. Or a returner. I have no idea what that is. He's a safety. And a punter. I think he's a kicker. They just bring him out for the one thing that the guy does. Speaker 3 (6:08) Peter, you've Speaker 2 (6:09) disappointed me enough. Speaker 3 (6:10) Peter, Speaker 2 (6:11) we are in mourning now because of Speaker 3 (6:13) you. Speaker 2 (6:15) Think about that. We're Speaker 3 (6:16) pissed. Speaker 2 (6:16) Think about what you've Speaker 3 (6:17) done. And what you've done to our community. And we have no money because we put it all into PM coins. Speaker 2 (6:22) Yeah, you've drained us financially. You've ruined us. We're no longer in good financial standing because of you. We have nothing left to give, Peter. Speaker 3 (6:32) Stop Speaker 2 (6:33) taking from us, Speaker 3 (6:34) Peter. Hashtag let's go Rams. Prayer emoji. Prayer hands emoji. I'm going to start writing that in Peter's comments. Speaker 2 (6:43) Not the actual emoji, just saying prayer hands emoji. Prayer hands emoji. Typing out prayer hands emoji. Prayer hands emoji, Speaker 3 (6:49) let's go Rams. Speaker 2 (6:53) Let's go Rams. Well, that wasn't my topic of conversation that I was going to bring to the table today. And honestly, I'm a little pissed that you did tell me about that. Speaker 2 (7:05) Blame PETA. Because now I was living in bliss. I was living in ignorance. Just happy as a Speaker 3 (7:11) clam. Speaker 2 (7:11) I Speaker 3 (7:11) understand. Speaker 2 (7:12) As Speaker 3 (7:12) the co-chairs of Peter Palooza, though, we have to remain informed. I understand. And vigilant. Yeah. Speaker 2 (7:17) And impartial. And impartial. Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 3 (7:20) Despite our growing Speaker 2 (7:21) amounts of debt. Again, every single day I'm looking, I'm opening up the accounts. It's going down. They're telling me the numbers, they might be going up, but so far it's, it's bull down. No, wait. Bear down, bowl up. Well, those are words I've never heard before. This is the first and only time in history we will be talking about cryptocurrency, AI, the stock market, and football within the first 12 minutes of the podcast. That is until Peter Palooza happens, and Speaker 3 (7:52) I will beat him up. Speaker 2 (7:55) We will... Never do this again. I'm going to beat it out of him. I'm going Speaker 3 (7:58) to say all of his favorite words like a fucking dog. Like you dog hears the word. I'm going to be like football, crypto, Rams, AI. And Peter's going to go. And I'm going to go. He's fixed now, guys. We saved him. We got Speaker 2 (8:12) him. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. Okay, what were you going to bring to the function? I was going to ask what makes a good bachelorette party. Finally, some shit we know about. Jesus Christ. You're Speaker 3 (8:25) talking to me so much about defensive, offensive, linebacking, fucking kicker, cracker, whatever Speaker 2 (8:31) the hell. Speaker 3 (8:31) You're reminding me that we're 500K Speaker 2 (8:32) in debt, dude. We're absolutely Speaker 3 (8:35) in the toilet in the freaking Speaker 2 (8:37) dog house over here. I Speaker 3 (8:38) have to say, I went on a really good bachelorette recently. Okay. And what made this bachelorette great was two things. One was that each day had like a different theme and we only had one day where we went hard. So first day we went hard. Yeah. Second day was like our slumber party relax day. Yeah. Like the... itinerary was very catered to those vibes yeah the second thing that made it good Speaker 2 (9:07) was Speaker 3 (9:08) a stripper Speaker 2 (9:08) i've never been to a bachelorette party with a stripper i Speaker 3 (9:12) am like really after experiencing a stripper at a bachelorette i think everyone should do it because it was so funny i Speaker 2 (9:18) really i i there's part of me that's like i just think that i would feel so viscerally like I'm in a room with eight of my friends and someone's naked. I Speaker 3 (9:28) mean, it was crazy. And also like, imagine we're doing this in a dining room under like bright fluorescent lights. Right. There was nothing sexy about it. I mean, he himself Speaker 2 (9:36) was Speaker 3 (9:37) not good at what he was doing. Speaker 2 (9:39) That, so that's the thing. Maybe like everyone needs a stripper that is kind of bad. Speaker 3 (9:43) Everyone needs a stripper who they got off Depop. Yeah. Speaker 2 (9:47) Yeah. Book a stripper on Depop. Don't know how you do that, but, but he's here. He's here. And he's wearing a speedo. And he is gyrating. Yeah. Speaker 3 (9:57) You Speaker 2 (9:57) know, as the day is long. Speaker 3 (9:58) Funny enough, right before you got here, I was looking at the stripper's Instagram because I was just talking. Speaker 1 (10:05) The Speaker 3 (10:05) stripper doesn't love you. That's his job. It's his job to be nice to you. I was talking to someone on the phone and I was telling him about this story and they were like, you need to send me this guy's Instagram. Like I have to lay eyes on him. So I was like, okay, let me find his Instagram. So I found him on IMDB. Speaker 3 (10:21) because like he told us he Speaker 2 (10:23) told us pause what he Speaker 3 (10:26) told he told us some movies that he was an extra in oh my god so i was like okay Speaker 2 (10:31) i knew exactly Speaker 3 (10:31) where to find him because i only remembered his stripper name and not his real name uh-huh found him found his instagram was looking through his page he posts crazy things strippers love ai yeah yeah he's like Speaker 2 (10:45) ai generating Speaker 3 (10:47) He's like AI generating himself, ripping his shirt off and he's holding two fucking stones in either hand and he kind of looks like Jesus being nailed to the cross. And Speaker 1 (10:57) he's like, what is it? It's like, tackle expectations, defeat your purpose or whatever Speaker 3 (11:05) the fuck. I was just scrolling through for like 30 minutes like this guy's crazy. And he has big titties. Oh, Speaker 2 (11:11) well Speaker 3 (11:11) that's nice. Yeah. It's nice to see that. I appreciate that. Yeah. Speaker 2 (11:15) Yeah, it sounds like that guy would make any bachelor or bachelorette party fun. Speaker 3 (11:21) Yeah, just a little jackhammering. Speaker 2 (11:24) Yeah, that video you sent was crazy. Brightens up any day. Mm-hmm. Speaker 2 (11:31) I think that's fair. I think, yeah, I do think that there needs to be a rhythm. Like you need to go hard at first and then kind of like have a rest day and then go back, get back to it. But I also do love like a one night only bachelorette thing. I do think we've kind of lost the art of that. And I would like to bring that back. I feel like it's coming more in vogue in the city, but I'd like to see more of it. Ideally. I don't Speaker 3 (11:57) think I would ever do a traditional bachelorette if I got married. But for other people who like that vibe, I love giving my opinions. Speaker 3 (12:09) I Speaker 2 (12:09) love being a bitch. I'm like, listen, not for me. But I love it for you. And I love Speaker 3 (12:14) giving my two cents. Speaker 2 (12:15) That's awesome for you. But I'll let you know if I'm having a bad time. And I'll come. I'll be there. I'll Speaker 3 (12:20) come and I'll enjoy myself with the stripper. Yeah, of course. I'm always going to be there for a good time. And he Speaker 2 (12:25) has to strip to Dynamite by Tayo Cruz. Well, why wouldn't he? What other song is there? None to my knowledge. Speaker 3 (12:32) Your stripper's doing Pony? Who gives a fuck? Speaker 2 (12:36) Overdone. Let me see what he does with dynamite. Boring. Dynamite is such a fast song. That's Speaker 3 (12:42) why he was jackhammering. That is so crazy. He said, because I told you once, now I told you twice. He was doing like eighth note humping. Yeah, he was doing incredible things. And then he made us take body shots off of him. Speaker 2 (13:11) Are they supposed to do that? I don't know. I don't know. Speaker 3 (13:15) We did, though. Did we, like, lie down on a table? He lied down on the floor and made us get on all fours. Where'd you take it from? The butt or the belly button? He's the butt! Speaker 3 (13:29) Like, did he put a shot glass between his cheeks? No, he put loose alcohol in his belly button. Oh, Speaker 2 (13:35) God. Speaker 3 (13:35) Do you think he cleaned it beforehand? Just the alcohol kind of cleaned Speaker 2 (13:40) it, maybe. I don't know. Oh, my God. Let's have him on the pod. I call Speaker 3 (13:46) him up. You know what? He was on Cameo for, like, two weeks. Speaker 2 (13:51) Our season four Cameo is just that guy. Speaker 3 (13:55) Anyways. Speaker 2 (13:57) Anyways. Speaker 2 (14:05) We are in for a humdinger of an episode, everybody. Yeah, baby. We are starting in kind of a montage of everyone's apartments as they are getting ready to go on Sheena and Shay's bachelorette trip to Miami. The joint bachelorette Speaker 3 (14:22) trip of the century. Yeah. Speaker 2 (14:24) everyone's getting ready. Everyone's packing their bag. Sheena puts a little skimpy white negligee in her bag and she's like to Shay, she's like, in case they sneak into your room and Shay's like, I wouldn't mind that. Every time he speaks, he sounds like he's being fed a line. Speaker 3 (14:39) Doesn't it? Like literally every time he talks, it sounds like someone was like, okay, Shay, Shay, say this. And he's Speaker 2 (14:45) like, Speaker 3 (14:47) I wouldn't mind that. Like he's speaking for the first time right now. It Speaker 2 (14:50) sounds like he's in a hostage video. It does sound like he's Speaker 3 (14:53) in a hostage video. Like it sounds like someone Speaker 2 (14:54) is like pointing a gun to his head and is like, say this. He's like hyper aware of the cameras and it's season three. Speaker 3 (15:01) Yeah. Speaker 2 (15:03) And Sheena in a talking head is basically like, I'm really excited for this party if everyone can play nice with each other. Speaker 3 (15:10) But Speaker 2 (15:10) that's a big if. And if they do, then it's going to be a super awesome time. Kind of awesome. We boof over to Jax's apartment. Jax is also getting ready for the trip and he has a crazy looking bandage on his forehead. Yeah, Speaker 3 (15:25) it's like strapped around his entire head. What the Speaker 2 (15:30) hell is he doing? Speaker 3 (15:31) What the hell is he up to? Peter walks in the apartment and he's like, now what the hell is happening? And he Speaker 2 (15:37) asks him like kind of sincerely. He's like, do you genuinely not like your face? He's like just checking in. He's Speaker 3 (15:45) like, hey, first it was the nose. Now there's something else going on. Do Speaker 2 (15:48) you want to talk about something? Yeah. What's on your mind? Listen, dude, you're a good looking guy. Stop hating on yourself. And Jackson's like, oh, no, no, no, no. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Speaker 2 (16:00) I ran into closed glass doors at full speed. Speaker 3 (16:04) And he says that he woke up early in the morning to go shopping. So I'm picturing in my head he's out at the local Ralph's grocery shopping and a whole mob of grandmothers watch Jax Taylor run into glass at full speed because he saw his car getting ticketed from the parking lot outside. That's exactly what happened. And he's gushing blood from his forehead. Speaker 2 (16:25) Again, these are niche experiences that I would have paid to have. Jax Taylor running full speed at anything is horrifying. Jax Taylor running full speed into glass doors like he's Wile E. Coyote is one of the funniest things I've ever heard of in my entire life. Speaker 3 (16:40) Vanderpump Rules themed Halloween horror nights. One of the things is like a fun house with the mirrors and you can't really tell which way the path is. And in front of you through the mirrors you see Jax and he's running towards you but you don't know which direction he's coming from. Speaker 2 (17:00) That is actually horrifying. And Speaker 3 (17:02) if Speaker 2 (17:02) he gets you, you're done. You never exit the funhouse. You're donezo. You're stuck there. Absolutely. You're stuck there. So he had to get 10 stitches in his forehead because he ran into glass doors like he was a cartoon idiot. And he also still got the parking ticket. He then reveals to Peter that Tiffany, his girlfriend du jour, is not coming to Miami. Speaker 3 (17:27) Shocker. And Peter's Speaker 2 (17:28) like, What you talking about? He's like, what do you mean? She already had her ticket. She was going to come. What's going on? And Jax is like, listen, like she doesn't know any of the girls. I don't want to have to babysit her. And like I told her we should just do vacations on our own. Like plus Tom's fighting with James. And like, what are we going to do about that? Speaker 3 (17:53) Peter obviously isn't buying any of it because he has a brain. Yeah. Speaker 2 (17:57) No matter how small he does have one. Yeah. I know. I'm like, we can't ride too hard for Peter in this episode knowing the information that we now currently know. Knowing PM Speaker 3 (18:06) coin has drained us of all of our resources. Speaker 2 (18:09) Peter's thinking, as Jax is telling him that Tiffany isn't coming, he's thinking in his head, I can't wait to one day launch PM coin. Speaker 3 (18:16) Meanwhile, Kristen is telling James that Jax said he canceled Tiffany's flight to Miami because he needed space. So Jax is telling Kristen a totally different story. And then Katie's talking to Swartz about the same topic. saying that it's really convenient that Jax doesn't want Tiffany there anymore because Vale is going on the Miami trip. So Katie thinks that all of this is because Vale is there and Jax just wants an opportunity to flirt with Vale without having
