Breaking news are happening now.

Hi everybody and welcome to the reality flash. My name is Mike Bloom and I am here to bring you the flashiest breaking news in the wild world of reality TV. And well, so a rather infamous fellow Michael in the world of reality TV once said you either

watch the news or you make the news. And of course, here on the reality flash, I'm here to

report to you on all the latest stuff that pops up in the world of reality TV, including any major social media drama.

But never in my wildest dreams would I ever think that, no less on our third episode ever, I would go from

merely reporting on the news to becoming the center of it. It has been a wild 18 hours to say

the least. So for the uninitiated, let me give you the timeline of how a lot of stuff has gone down, what has sort of prompted the title of the very podcast you're listening to right now. So whether you want to call it Twitter or X, it's become a bit of a breeding ground for some drama on Sunday afternoon.

For context, just overall, really setting the stage for the chaos that's about to occur.

If you know how I usually talk about reality TV on social media, especially live tweeting,

I like to sometimes pull video clips of some of the best or most outrageous moments and then post about it.

The way I look at it, it serves as both a way for people who have already seen those moments to rally around how good it was or how wild the shows we watch are.

But sometimes it also serves as a really nice way to get people interested in watching a show based on a viral moment.

Like, oh my God, you have to check this out because of this one particular thing.

Such is the case here.

On January 9th, the first three episodes of The Traders Season 3 aired. It was so much fun.

We had the titular traders being an absolutely delightful mess. Unfortunately, the housewives

are becoming an endangered species. It is a fantastic time, if you haven't seen it yet,

in Peacock. But one of the final moments of the first batch of episodes had a traitor Bob the

drag queen under fire at the roundtable.

And the one pointing the finger happens to be none other than Nicholas Dillon Harrison Efron, a behind the scene staple, a producer,

and a social media influencer who just so happens to have been born 1,572 days after his brother,

Zach Efron, who's been in like, I don't know, a couple movies or something.
