And welcome to an emergency broadcast a Vanderpump Rules party. I'm Holly Bork as

yes and first I want to apologize to you Sarah who you're on a lovely vacation and

um actually Chad should apologize to you because he just got home at 8.42 at night

Thanks a lot Chad. It's better than tomorrow morning because this is an emergency and yeah, you know, if you got a kick some boys out of the

room, that's what you got to do. Yeah, that's right. It's an emergency. It's an emergency. And also, by the way, yes, everyone, we have not left you in the dust. We are not

Patreon only. Sorry. We were last week out a little crazy. I know you had a big dance competition. I was traveling. And we will be back with OC and New Jersey this week, like literally this week, promise and birthday shadows and all of that. But we just had to get in this. Yeah, birthday podcast. And we're all sacrificing for you and for ourselves. Of course, because we need to talk about this. We need to dissect it. Okay. So, um, you know, we have mentioned

this for weeks on our pod that, you know, we have a theory, you know, of an angle they could take on the new season of the show to get some attention going some, you know, drum up some interest. And, um, so rumors have been swirling now for weeks about Tom and Katie. She's been photographed without her ring on. And just like the whispering through the Vanderpump land has been on. So, um, we

did not say anything official until we saw that it was official and that happened today. Okay, well, I want to say, welcome to season 10 folks, because here we go. Yeah, and, you know, I have to say, I mean, I think you and I both said this would be like our absolute favorite storyline. So, love this. I think this is exactly what needed to happen. It breaks up the monotony of

so awful. Okay, well, let's let's talk about what they said first, because, um, nothing awful has happened yet other than them separating.

Okay, first of all, whatever you just did in the last like 10 seconds, you saw clear as a whistle. The first 10 seconds, you were a little scratchy. So don't move. Okay.

Do not move. No, it could be me do. Anyways, um, it's a lot to chew on chew on to bite off on. You know, like you said, we've been hearing the rumblings. Okay, you can't read into someone not wearing the ring.

There's so many people that don't wear their rings because they either take it off when they're showering and they forget it or it's just cumbersome or

you just can't go on that alone, right? Right. Right. But there have been, you know, even since back when watch what happens, live Tom and Kitty were supposed to be on and he didn't, but

and I'll do fairness. His father was sick and I don't think he would have used that as an excuse. I do think yes, he's been going, you know, and spending time with his father and, um,

uh, hopefully learned a lesson from someone we will not name right now, um, that do not squander any moment. So I, I, I believe that Schwartz, that was his thing and I hope his dad's doing better, but we have that, that, you know, we've seen now, you went to the sand of the show in what was that December, and then we went January and Schwartz is there solo, both times. Yes, like,

we know the second time they went and celebrated birthday without Schwartz, but the first time why wasn't she there? Does she need to handle all that much? Or it's more of like, yes, like they said, they've had these conversations, which we'll get into in a minute. So I guess you really can see the signs and.

Oh boy, I mean, I feel like there's like a couple of ways, like, first of like, if I am just like a straight-up fan, I would say I'm sad. You know, like, this is sad. Like, it's taught me, you know, we've watched them through the years. Like, this is like totally a bummer. Um, and then on the other hand, it's like, I'm happy for Katie.

And Tom, both to, you know, possibly find happy, you know, you know, continue on their journey and find happiness, you know, like, cool. Um, so I don't know, I guess, I guess we'll have to wait to see like how it plays out. Hopefully we get to see it on our television.

But yeah, because Chad was like, what if they did all this and they don't get another season, and it's just like they're, they're split up, you know, and it's like, yeah, that could happen.

I think it would be, um, hold on.

Okay. Um, I missed up. And if you noticed, if you looked at the comments, even Andy did, like, you know, heart, hash, egg, blah, blah.

And it was interesting looking at some of the comments, like Randall commented on shorts, but not Katie's post saying, love you, love you buddy.
