Diddy Case Takes HUGE Turn As Jennifer Lopez Speaks
Today is election day all over the country, but for us in particular, mayor of Los Angeles, we have millions and millions of people, and we are now choosing between a mayor who has had significant problems during her tenure, a socialist Democrat who many people think is problematic and many people think is fantastic, and a reality star. So those are our choices, folks. If you think I am cynical, I am saying that with all the people in L.A., we have people with no administrative experience with hopes and dreams and not much to show for it so far. That is what we are left with.
I want you to tamp down the positivity, and we are going to get to why this election, which is just for the mayor of Los Angeles—there are millions of people in Los Angeles County who are not going to vote on this because it does not affect them—yet nationally, people are looking at this election, let us face it, because of Spencer Pratt and the rise of a reality star to potentially be the mayor of the second largest city in America.
So how did we end up here? That is what Mayor Bass is saying herself. We got her out yesterday. She was out doing some campaigning, stopped in at a restaurant, and we had a chat with her about her opponent, one of her opponents, the one that people are talking about the most, Spencer Pratt. This is her take on his venture into politics.
“What do you have to say to voters who are still deciding between you and Spencer Pratt?”
“Well, I think that voters have a decision to make between somebody who has been bringing change in our city or a reality TV star villain. And I think we know how reality stars make it when they are in government. So a reality star with no track record, I am not sure he has ever had a job other than reality TV. I don’t know if he worked at a regular job. I know he has no idea how the city government is run. I think that he doesn’t know the issues. He is operating out of anger. And what our city needs is to move forward to make a city that is affordable, a city that is safe, and a city where people can live their lives without the fear of crime.”
Well, the problem is Karen Bass does not check any of those boxes, because at least in my experience, this is not a safe city anymore.
So this is the issue. I know what you are saying about your experience. I just want to say—we are going to get to Spencer, but look, she did not have any administrative experience because she was a congresswoman, and then she ran the city of L.A., and there are a lot of people who live in the city of L.A. who just do not think it has been good for the last three years. I know what you are going to say about your experience in walking around L.A. However, there are also some stats to back up part of what she is saying. Now, you may not be impressed by those stats, but there are things that have improved in the city, and that is what she wants people to focus on.
Spencer Pratt wants people to focus on money—the amount of money that he says Mayor Bass has blown through without really making an impact in Los Angeles. And he also talked about this in the context of knowing what it means to blow through a lot of money, as he admits he did when he was younger.
“Everything I ever spent money on, they act like I didn’t have it. So yes, I spent all this money. I was also twenty-two, twenty-three years old. I was planning on being Kim Kardashian, rich and famous. Again, that is my money. It wasn’t tax money. So if we are going to say he spent ten million of his own money when he was twenty-three, this lady Karen Bass just spent four hundred million dollars last year of our money to house allegedly fourteen hundred people. We are going to do the who-spends-more-reckless-money comparison. And mine wasn’t reckless. I had great dinners. I treated a lot of friends. I have so many people I was taken care of with that money. I will run it back right now. This is what is going to stop me from being mayor? Like those decisions? I wouldn’t have done all those decisions again.”
So they both blew millions of dollars. That is great.
But it is only now we have to choose which one we like more. It is Spencer’s personal money. Who cares what he did with his own personal money? No. Who owes you responsibility?
Bottom line, if you are the mayor, if you are Karen Bass and the best thing that you have got is that he was on a reality show and you do not like how he behaved, you are in deep doo-doo.
Hold on. You are trying to skip over what you said. Let us talk about what you said that he has—he had an actual job aside from being on reality TV.
No, I do not think so. Not to my knowledge.
And so you think what—again, I have made this before and you are talking about administrative experience. I think you could make a strong case that that is actually a positive thing. We have had politician after politician after politician in this city, and I am sorry, it is a hellhole. I do not care what the stats say, Charles. It does not matter. It is about what it feels like. Numbers can be manipulated.
How long have you been here? Thirteen years since I worked here?
We had a mayor by the name of—Tom Bradley, rather, who was a great mayor. He was a city councilman for a long time. He became a really, really good mayor. We have had other mayors who have done a good job, and then we have had some that have not. But to say we do not want somebody with experience is absurd.
We have had politician after politician. There are a lot of cities, most in America, that have had politician after politician after politician, and they are doing fine.
So watch this. Watch this. I am going to run for mayor right now. I am going to end homelessness. I am going to make sure that homeless people are not on the streets. I am going to end crime. Let the candidate run. Excuse me, I am on a run. Let the candidate run. I am on a run. And I know that people have probably tried to get you to run before. If you have got bold ideas, yeah, who cares?
That is not an idea. That is stupid. He has got ideas. I am going to end crime, everybody. I am more than an idea. You are more than an idea. By the way, his position, you know that—
You are mistaking what I am saying.
He is not saying it about Spencer. He is saying about any—
I am talking about the lot. I am just saying—
This is what we are ending up with.
He is a guy who lives here who has very bold ideas. And maybe that is—
He lives here. He lives here, everybody. I live in Los Angeles. I am going to run Los Angeles.
Apologies to Nithya Raman.
“Hi, it’s Briana from St. Louis. You guys are cracking me up. Harvey, I totally feel what you are saying because it is kind of giving elementary school student body election where there is promising things. But I have to agree with Karen Bass. Having a vision is great. Being motivated by anger can be valid, but without a skill set or the experience of even being a regular citizen, the fuse may burn out or it can burn wildly. I just think that we have learned—we should have learned something from the situation.”
I mean, speaking of burning, Pacific Palisades burned. You know, it is like—I love your metaphor because burning applies to a bunch of them. It just does.
Do you know that our guys in Washington, D.C., may have partially cracked the Taylor Swift wedding mystery?
I do know. I think they not possibly—I think they definitely nailed down one piece of the puzzle, which is where are Taylor and Travis going to get married.
And only everybody is trying to figure it out. In twenty-six seconds, our team got the answer. Charlie ran into Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. He is the senator from Rhode Island. Rhode Island—that is where Taylor Swift has a mansion. She has a mansion in Westerly, Rhode Island. And there has been a lot of talk that the wedding would go down in Rhode Island at a particular country club near Taylor’s home. It is called the Ocean House. And there have been some other celebrity weddings there, which we will get to. But Charlie was on the case, and he was in D.C., runs into Senator Whitehouse, and gets some Taylor scoop.
“Firstly, great name. Did you ever consider getting into anything else but politics?”
“I originally tried to be an architect, but I wasn’t good at it.”
“You found your calling. Hey, Taylor Swift reportedly is about to get married in Rhode Island.”
“I don’t know about that. I think that she gave Rhode Island a pass, but I hope so. I would love to have her in Rhode Island.”
Oh, so there you go. As he was on his way into the building, he put the kibosh on Rhode Island.
He sounds a little upset about it. Kind of bitter that she is not going to choose Rhode Island.
All roads now are leading to New York City. It certainly seems like that is what a lot of people have been saying—that it is going to be over the Fourth of July weekend. And look, it makes sense because if you remember, Jay-Z and Beyoncé famously got married in New York. There were so few photos that actually came out from their wedding, and I believe it was in the Tribeca area, and the only photo we even have of Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s wedding is of a limo. So it makes sense if Taylor Swift and Travis are going for privacy that they would have it in New York. She has always talked about New York. She loves it there. And when you look at Rhode Island, it does not make sense over there because it is all along the ocean, and there is too much easy access—too much access for paparazzi, for photos to get out.
There is actually a conspiracy theory. There are people kind of in the know on this—they either work for somebody who is going or they are going, right? And the other theory is that New York is a staging area and that they are going to fly them somewhere. So everybody gets in a plane, and then they go to somewhere where nobody knows until they land.
I mean, that is kind of conspiratorial, but not crazy. And it is not crazy, depending on how big the guest list is. Right. Well, if you have two hundred people, they could do it. She can rent a 747.
By the way, speaking of the guest list, we just broke a story of who is going to be attending. One of the many people that will be attending is Benson Boone. He opened for her on some of her stuff. He became super famous and super popular from opening for her at the Eras Tour, and we are told he got the invite. He is going. Unclear if he is bringing a plus one. But yeah, hope he will do some backflips.
Do not know how many people are going to go. I mean, this could be—my guess is it is going to be hundreds and hundreds of people. Is it two hundred something people, or is it five hundred something people?
I think it is five hundred people.
You think it is five hundred? She did say it was going to be a big wedding when she did an interview. I think it is going to be a lot. How are they keeping this such a secret?
“Hey, I’m Hannah from Texas, and I do think it hasn’t been ruled out her wedding in Rhode Island. And why wouldn’t she? He said he would love to have her wedding in Rhode Island, and why wouldn’t he? It would do great things for the city and the economy. I think it would be a beautiful wedding venue.”
No, do not question the Whitehouse. Oh, forget it. Oops.
Coming up, Cassie’s involvement in Diddy’s freak-offs have led to an accusation against her now by one of the men who was involved in those freak-offs. His claim has been that Cassie actually drugged him during one of the freak-offs, and he is actually trying to sue her for that.
So Cassie’s involvement in Diddy’s freak-offs have led to an accusation against her now by one of the men who was involved in those freak-offs. A guy said his name is Edmund Laurant. He is a male model, and his claim has been that Cassie actually drugged him during one of the freak-offs, and he is actually trying to sue her for that. Well, Cassie says this guy is completely full of it. And she has some receipts to show that Edmund Laurant was actually on her side of the battle with Diddy when she initially filed her lawsuit against him, when she went public with all the allegations of the things she says Diddy did to her.
But let me ask you something. Can both things be true?
They could be. But her point is this: once she filed that lawsuit and everybody—the whole world read that lawsuit, which we know of course was settled a day later—but when it initially came out that day, she says Edmund reached out to her, texted her to say, “Hi, hope you are okay. I am sorry. I did not know he was doing that to you. I will definitely be a witness for you.” Okay, so let us take that at face value. He absolutely supported what she alleged in the lawsuit, which were really horrendous conduct. And you could also have a situation where—because drugs were involved in this—he got drugged. I do not even know that she is disputing the fact that maybe he was drugged, but her point was she was a victim. If he was a victim, so was she. And she says it is pretty clear to her when Edmund’s story changed.
Yeah. She says it was an about-face very quickly after there were reports that Cassie settled for twenty or thirty million dollars with Diddy. She settled that lawsuit quickly. He switched gears. But it was not when she initially settled it because we did not know how much it was then. It is when the number came out. He learned about how fat the check was that she got from Diddy and sort of turned against her.
What?
Say it again.
And said that the things she alleged did not happen to her.
No, no. He is now alleging that he was a victim of both of them.
But that is what I am saying. Can that—can both things be true? Both her being abused by Diddy and him being drugged?
Yes. But how do you—yes, that can be true. But it is strange in light of that text where he said, “I will be a witness for you,” treating her as a victim. He said, “I am sorry you went through that. I did not know what was going on. I would be a witness for you.” That is different than now suddenly suing her and saying she was in on it with both—with drugs.
I think you are right. Both things could be true.
It is strange to reconcile them, though. Well, after saying you will be a witness for her, that word—”I will be a witness for you”—makes it sound like, “We were both victims of Diddy.”
Here is the thing. Well, he could say, “I am a victim of Diddy’s too, and I am on your side, and I saw what he did to you.” But after, he is suing Cassie. He sued Cassie and said both of them drugged me during these freak-offs and you are to blame as much.
I get it, and he could be making that up. And I guess you are right. Maybe he is saying now she has got a lot of money, and now the implication is there are two deep pockets to go after—Cassie and Diddy.
“Alicia from London. Ultimately, I think Cassie was, we know from testimony, she was orchestrating a lot of the activities, but she was under coercive control. I just think ultimately these guys want a piece of the pie. They know she has got this money.”
Well, that motivates people. It does. It just absolutely motivates people. That is truth.
I know you are really excited about the new J.Lo movie on Netflix, Office Romance. Romcoms are what she does best, right? So keep going to that. Well, what has come out of this movie though is a rumor about her and her co-star, Brett Goldstein. Oh, he was in—he was in the—the soccer. What was it called? Ted Lasso. He was great in that. That parenting is working. Anyway, so J.Lo addressed some rumors about their romance—and not the office romance—I think he is married.
An offscreen romance, and he is not. Oh, so fair game. I am getting close. Getting warm here. Here is what she said on the Today Show about whether or not she and Brett have gotten close off set.
“Let me see if I can channel my best Andy.”
“Oh no.”
“Cause you know what everyone is saying?”
“What are they saying?”
“That it might be real. That you might actually be dating in real life.”
“There is never a time when I am seen with somebody or working with somebody where they do not try to put me with the person.”
“That is true.”
“But I think if you stand near her—”
“That is what happened. That is what you wish would happen.”
“Yeah. That is why I have been standing so close.”
“Okay. But I will just say, cause I am me and you know me—yes.”
“That was not an answer. That was not an answer. You did not say yes or no.”
“Because all these people that they put me—I think I was with Kevin Costner this year. I was with a lot of people. It happens all the time.”
That is what happens when you are a hot, eligible single person. Okay, so you are not dating. We just—okay. Not dating in real life.
“Not dating.”
“Okay.”
“Going for it.”
“All right. She answered.”
“She is going for it.”
“She answered.”
But to Savannah’s credit, the reason she was asking that is J.Lo in one of the interviews said that Brett was the best on-screen kiss she has ever had. Really? Yes. And she has dated—well, and remember she did movies with Ben Affleck where they kissed. So that is why that fueled the rumors. But also I think J.Lo is a veteran at this now, and she knows how to promote a romantic comedy.
Wait, those are not real kisses.
Yes, they are.
No, they are not. But it does not matter. I mean, they actually do kiss. I know, but—
I do not believe that. Oh, the best on-screen kiss. You think someone purposely—no, no, no. But that could be—she could mean technically good at it.
No, that is exactly right.
But let me tell you this too, Jennifer. Even if Ben was the best on-screen kiss, there is no way in hell she is going to say that because then guess what is going to happen? People are going to be like, “Oh, she still wants him. Oh, she is still in love with him.” There is no way she can say that, even if it is the best on-screen.
I do not understand.
The people that are always dragging her for always being in a relationship and not being able to be single—that is probably also—
I am satisfied we got the story. Next.
“Hey, Candace from Dallas. I honestly agree. She is kind of a serial dater, and she just is always with someone. So of course people are going to always link her to someone that she is all hugged up on. Yeah, it makes sense.”
She is not a serial dater. She is a serial marrier.
Is that a word? Marrier? Marrier? Serial bride.
No, she does not date for a long time. She gets—the last person she—she dated like A-Rod. They did not get engaged? They were not—they did not get married.
They were engaged. They were engaged.
Okay, but it is still dating. They are not married.
Who has she just dated? A lot of people. Casper Smart. Chris Judd. And she dated those people for years.
Yeah, but that does not mean she is married.
Did she marry Chris Judd? Yes. She married Chris Judd. And Casper, she just dated. But for a long time.
Argument is over. We win.
We win. Yeah.
Coming up, Mackenzie Shirilla is the young woman who is serving a life sentence for the murder of her boyfriend and friend. Mackenzie’s parents ran to the police station after her arrest.
“She is a dumb eighteen-year-old that just turned eighteen.”
Mackenzie Shirilla is the young woman who is serving a life sentence for the murder of her boyfriend and friend. Both of them were in the car with her when she was driving one hundred miles an hour and smashed into a building. This is the subject of the Netflix documentary The Crash. Well, Mackenzie’s parents—moments after she was arrested. Now, remember, the crash happened in 2022. She was not arrested until much later in the year. This is late November of 2022. She gets arrested, and her parents—we have spoken to her father, Steve—well, Steve and his wife ran to the police station after her arrest, and they were desperate to make sure that Mackenzie did not say anything to the police. In fact, you are going to see her father here on body cam basically accusing the police of trying to get their daughter to speak, and he does not want that to happen until they have a lawyer there.
“How you guys did this on the weekends. Just all you do is go, ‘Hey, there is a warrant for her.’ We would have brought it right down here with no problem, but you hit it. It is just unbelievable. I mean, eighteen.”
“The warrant was issued today, so we executed it today. The warrant was not issued earlier.”
“Well, you could have made a phone call, couldn’t you? You had your creeper out in front of my yard watching.”
“She was just brought in. They are going to process her. As soon as they have the time for her to make a phone call, she will be able to make a phone call.”
“You just need to advise her. She has—she is a lawyer. She does have—”
“She is eighteen years old, and she could speak. Yeah, she is a dumb eighteen-year-old that just turned eighteen, and you guys are dumb. All the kids nowadays are dumb, and these guys are going to take advantage of her. She is not allowed to speak to you guys. I am telling you that her attorney can call us. Do not ask her any questions. She is not allowed to speak to you.”
So what is really interesting about this is she is an adult, and as an adult, even though her parents say, “You cannot speak to our daughter without a lawyer,” it is not their call. It is her call, Mackenzie’s call. And it is interesting that what he is saying is, “You guys sandbagged us. We would have brought her in voluntarily.” And you remember that they made a whole big show of arresting her while she was out driving over the weekend, right? And they pulled her over and ended up arresting her. So what they are saying is she is dumb because she is young and dumb, and young people are dumb, right? And you are going to take advantage of her by basically setting it up, doing it on the weekend, asking her questions when a lawyer is not available. I think that was what the fight is about.
Yeah. And I feel like this cannot be really good for her case, too, especially if her own father is calling her a dummy. I think that is something—
I do not know you can hold that against him. He is trying to make the point to the police that she is an eighteen-year-old who does not really understand what she should and should not do when she is arrested. And whether she is smart or dumb does not align with whether she is a murderer or not. So you can have a murderer—Steve saying that—I know it does not sound great, but the sentiment of what he is feeling in that moment that she has been arrested—remember they do not believe that she did this on purpose. So they want to make sure that she is not going to—and as it turned out, I mean, she was convicted, but at that moment, they had—what is interesting is they had not processed this. They did not have any power to stop. If Mackenzie wanted to talk, their protestations are irrelevant. She was eighteen years old. She was an adult.
They knew that, and that is why they were so worried.
Oh, I think they felt this was a setup so they could do exactly that.
Well, of course. I mean, they pulled her over on her way home from physical therapy with like eight or nine cop cars. I mean, that was always the spectacle—for saying that it was meant to be a Luján moment. Exactly.
“My name is Brianna. I am from Canada. For her dad to sit there and call her stupid, I believe that he was just defending her because there were no lawyers and stuff available that day. It was the weekend. She would have been stuck there throughout the weekend into the following week, and she is just a kid. So I believe him calling her stupid was just trying to protect her in that way.”
Yeah. It did not incriminate her in any way. It had nothing—that was just a passionate parent. That was the least of their problems at that point.
Yes. And I think they—he definitely knew that.
Coming up, here we are in June, which we know is Pride Month. But not everybody is on board with Pride Month still being a thing. In fact, maybe the most shocking one came from a congressman.
Welcome back to TMZ Live. Here we are in June, which we know is Pride Month. But not everybody is on board with Pride Month still being a thing. In fact, I have seen a few things on social media today where people are basically saying Pride Month is canceled. Maybe the most shocking one came from a U.S. congressman from Tennessee, Representative Andy Ogles, who posted this on X: “Homosexuality has no place in America. Happy nuclear family month.”
So it is an interesting comment, and it kind of aligns with other things he has said in the past. Right? We know that he is very much against same-sex marriage, but this goes beyond that. Yes. So I think it is safe to say he is not for gay marriage. He is saying essentially that homosexuality has no place in America, and that the nuclear family—the traditional family—is where everybody’s head should be at. Now, how that works—you can also have a nuclear family and—well, not according to—so I guess this month in Tennessee, where he is from, is nuclear family month. It is Pride Month in most of the country. It is nuclear family month in Tennessee.
So they actually do not have a Pride—
My research only goes so far as state.
Yeah, I would think in Nashville they probably—
Oh, I think there is plenty of pride in Nashville. But it is really interesting.
Now here was the other thing I saw on social media. Do we have the Sean Strickland, the UFC fighter? He posted a video that is clearly AI, but it is him fighting someone I think is Dylan Mulvaney or someone who is supposed to be Dylan Mulvaney. And there is the video of the fight. Obviously, Sean beats this person and knocks them out. But his caption was really interesting. It said, “I have yet to see one pride flag. We are back.” Sean also on Twitter, he did not post a video there, but he simply posted, “Say what you want about Trump, but June has got far less gay.”
So, you know, meaning the U.S. is back now. We do not celebrate Pride anymore.
I got a feeling about this that the culture wars worked for President Trump in 2024. They just did. And there are a lot of people, myself included, who think that the left went too far in a lot of ideas—that there were good ideas they made crazy. And that it worked then. Now with the economy struggling, which for many people it is, and the polling is showing that, and gas prices and the war and some of the things that Trump is doing, the initiatives for the border and all the other stuff—he is not doing well with the issues, and I think he is reverting back to culture wars. But I do not think culture wars work when all those other things are on his watch. I think there are two points. Number one, all these other things are happening. So I agree with you. Also, the points that he is staking out, the positions, are just not as popular as they were. Like there was a serious anti-trans-women-in-sports movement that was deeply unpopular—for better or for worse. These issues—homosexuality—no, that is not where America is. We know America is vastly in favor of gay marriage, for example. The polling shows that. He is just staking out—and I think this goes to the failing economy and his poll numbers. He is taking out a more extreme position.
It is the old kind of tried-and-true stuff that worked for him before, but before is not now.
Yeah.
“Hi, I am Shai from Brooklyn, and I actually think that this is directly related to where we are in America as a culture. I think that there has been a large call back to a myth of the nuclear family, like we have been seeing online. And I think that it is just reflective of us allowing for politicians to use their platform to push hate instead of serve us as people. And yeah, it is really unfortunate.”
I wonder if you did a poll of, you know, twenty-year-olds and said, “What is a nuclear family?” that half would say “the atomic bomb.”
Yes. Most people do not understand the term. They would get it painfully wrong.
So, look, we just got a video in from our D.C. guys. Jacob got Senator Ted Cruz, and we asked him about what Congressman Ogles said about homosexuality having no place in America. I think his answer is interesting. I am not going to say surprising, but it really is interesting.
“Senator Jacob with TMZ. Really quick, Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee. He says that homosexuality has no place in America. Agree or disagree?”
“Well, I think for all of recorded history, homosexuals have been part of humanity. And you know, I got to say I am quite libertarian by nature. I think the behavior of consenting adults is their business.”
“But what do you think about a member of your party saying that they just have no place in America? Like, forget marriage, just no place—”
“I gave you my view.”
So he did not answer that question, but I found it really interesting that Ted Cruz said that he is a libertarian by nature and believes that what consenting adults do—
Well, that goes to what we were just saying as we were talking about Andy Ogles. That is where we are—or at least—it seems that that is where most of America is, what Ted Cruz just said. Cruz is a very conservative guy, and the concept of being a libertarian I thought was really interesting. I thought what he said was really, really interesting.
You look at the center, which is what—the center, nobody pays any attention to. We only hear from the extremes. But I think that is the center. Even if you do not know gay people or you do not agree with that lifestyle, you kind of were at the point where you go, “Hey, if you are consenting adults, you do what you want. That is fine.”
I agree with you, but I think you see Strickland, and I think what they are doing is they are saying this is MAGA, and I think Ted Cruz is saying, “No, slow down here.” And I just find that interesting. Will there be MAGA people who look at Ted Cruz, who I am sure they view and call him a RINO.
Exactly. Calling him a RINO.
Coming up, Tom Holland does not drink, and he started a non-alcoholic beer company. We got him out at LAX. Problem is Zendaya does not like the taste of beer. So what did Tom do? Maybe this is what you call too much love.
You know what? I think Tom Holland and Zendaya are too much in love.
I do not know. What does that mean? They are too much in love?
I can prove my point in a minute.
Okay. Well, Tom Holland was on Amy Poehler’s podcast, Good Hang, and was talking about his fiancée or wife—we do not know if they are actually married yet. But he was talking about something that has to do with business and their relationship. So Tom does not drink, and he started a non-alcoholic beer company. We got him out at LAX talking about—he talked to us about starting it, and it has been very successful. Yep.
Problem is Zendaya does not like the taste of beer. So what did Tom do? Maybe this is what you call too much love.
“The truth behind the shandies, which we are bringing out this summer, is that Z has never drank. She has never been a drinker. She is incredible. She is the best. She is the best. She is the best. She is never off her game. And which means she never found the taste for beer. She is incredibly proud of Bero. It is just there is a missing link of like she does not enjoy the stuff that I am trying to sell, right? So the shandy is essentially half a beer and then half a lemonade. And it was a ploy to create something at the company that she could enjoy.”
Wow. Half beer, half lemonade. That sounds weird. Also, why would you—if she does not like beer, why make something—
Crazy thing about what he said—I had never realized that. So she has never drank before and never done any drugs, but then played a drug addict completely well on Euphoria. So incredible. Well, I know. I know. But that was my first segue. But the second thing, this is obviously something he is very passionate about because he had a drinking problem. He stopped drinking in 2022, and he credits this—obviously it is a big business for him as well—but he credits this with keeping him sober when he is out at these social settings.
That is all very good. Let us get to the love part. Why are you—you have a very successful company. Why are you creating a beverage purely because your bride-to-be does not enjoy beer?
But you do not think there are also other people—probably other—I am a confession. I have never really liked the taste of beer.
Mhm.
Okay.
Yeah. I do not think really anyone does.
Actually, I love beer. That is all I drink.
Do you know what it tastes like when you put lemonade in it? It is a shandy. Have you guys—no, it is literally—you guys have never had a summer shandy? It is delicious. Actually, I am like—watch out—as a beer drinker. I only drink beer and wine since December 17th, 2023.
You guys, summer shandies are really good. People actually thoroughly enjoy them. It is a very refreshing drink.
Are you working for Tom Holland?
Okay, let us say—summer shandy.
She wants hers with alcohol. She wants hers with all the alcohol. I am pretty sure.
I want to get back to the love part. So I think it is great. I mean, I like both of them a lot, but it is so—
It is also marketing, Harvey. That is what it really is.
No, but I am not talking—it is going to eventually market. I am not talking about the beer so much. I am talking about when Amy Poehler said, “Oh, I love her.” And he is like, “Oh my god, I just love her. She is the best.”
You hate love.
No, I do not hate love. It is like sometimes if you experience highs that are too high, you experience lows that are way too low. They have been together for a while. I understand that. And they are still clearly very in love.
You feel like he is doing too much, is what you are saying.
I think a little—maybe too much. You just said she is great. No, it is fine that he said she is great, but they are so joined at the hip.
What do you want them—how do you want them to be? How do you want couples to act that are in love?
Kind of normal.
What is normal? To you, what is normal? What is a normal couple?
Can I be really honest? As long as we are talking—
Oh boy.
I never understood holding hands in public.
Oh, I hate holding hands in public.
I never understood holding hands in public. It is like, why are you doing that? It feels like—and it is so uncomfortable. It feels like it is a possession—like nobody touches that person. It is like—
Is it comfortable to you?
Oh, no. This is the first time. You got it. You got it. You got it.
Yeah.
“Hey, Jerry, here from Palm Springs, California. Holding hands—I am with you on that one. It is kind of weird. But I love beer, and I love the taste of beer, especially wheat beer. And the shandy thing is a British thing, and I actually like that as well.”
Oh, that is—I did not know that was a British thing. That sounds like something—yeah, that sounds very British. That tracks.
Coming up, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back. When they said they were going to do it at a later date, I thought this is President Trump’s excuse for “I am not going to actually do it.” He is going to attend.
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is back. They are going to follow through and actually have the event, which of course was last month derailed by the shooter. And this is the biggest part of it, because when they said they were going to do it at a later date, I thought this is President Trump’s excuse for “I am not going to actually do it.” He is going to attend. Yeah. They are going to have it in July—July 24th, not at the Hilton. Not at the Hilton. Well, according to Trump, the White House Correspondents’ Committee has not said. He says it is going to be at the Waldorf. And the interesting thing about the Waldorf is that ten years ago it was the Trump Hotel. That is—and they sold it, I guess, to the Waldorf, but it was the hotel Trump built. And it is kind of weird because—I have been inside that place, and it is a big hotel. I am not sure what the difference is security-wise from the Hilton. I am assuming it is more secure, but it is a big hotel. Yeah. And they have lots of rooms.
Sounds like it is going to be fewer people than that. They described it as being a more scaled-down event. But the president will be there. So that is going to make it big, and I am sure that he will be there with a lot of his supporters from the cabinet.
And what is going to be interesting is that he had kind of gone scorched earth in his speech on the reporters in the room. So can he tone it down after? Because after the shooting, he said we have got to tone things down, even though that has not happened since then. But will he do that? That is going to be the big question.
I do not think he will.
“Hi, my name is Tina Rogers, and I am from Memphis, Tennessee. And I think Donald Trump is very excited to redo the Correspondents’ Dinner. I think he is bringing in media from all platforms to ask questions, answer, be honest, and vulnerable. And given the fact that he is opening up this platform for everybody to join in, regardless of the political spectrum you stand on, it is going to be a great day and a great opportunity for President Trump to answer questions with everybody involved.”
We will see. It is going to be July 24th. It is going to be interesting.
What else do you guys want to talk about?
“Hey guys, my name is Stacy and I am in Nashville, Tennessee. And I wanted to talk a little bit about Karen Bass slamming Spencer Pratt. So we know we have got these elections coming up. And as someone who grew up watching The Hills, I am very familiar with Spencer Pratt and his hygiene. What we need to understand is the United States government is not a reality show. He is eerily similar to the orange stain that we have in the White House right now. I can guarantee that Spencer does not have any solutions or the intellectual wherewithal.”
So let me stop you here for a second and ask you a question. What if you do not like Karen Bass? What do you do? If you were living in L.A. and you do not like Karen Bass because you think she messed up the fires—she went out of town, she knew there were winds and other problems—what would you do?
Vote Karen Bass instead of having someone that is similar to Donald Trump.
Even if you feel—and I am not saying I do or do not—but even if you feel she failed, do we feel like she actually failed? Oh, some people do. There are people in L.A. who believe that.
And I am not a resident there, so I mean, I understand.
This has been a wonderful hypothetical. We really appreciate it. But shout-out to you for watching The Hills. You needed—
“Hi, I am Celia from Florida. I do not know why we have collectively decided that the best source of information on Taylor Swift’s wedding is an old white senator man, but hey, I will take whatever I can get, and I will hear him out. So I think Rhode Island is not necessarily where Taylor Swift thinks of romance. I think it is where she thinks of her errors in friendship in her life. So I think Rhode Island does not necessarily mean love stories, but New York—that is where Taylor Swift has fallen in love. I think New York shows her heart.”
This is very interesting that Swifties—they apply a certain personality to each of her homes. Each house—that house looks awesome to me. You could fall in love with that house. Yeah. What is not romantic about that Rhode Island house? But okay, that is for friendship.
Coming up, where we are with marijuana laws across the country. The cast of Scary Movie 6 out doing some promotion. It is coming out this week on Friday, and they were in New York City, and they decided the best thing to do to promote was a little hotboxing in Times Square.
Well, this is a different kind of promotion, and maybe this is a good sign of the times where we are with marijuana laws across the country. The cast of Scary Movie 6 out doing some promotion. It is coming out this week on Friday, and they were in New York City, and they decided the best thing to do to promote was a little hotboxing in Times Square.
So they got all the fans around. They are in this crowd. Of course, the crowd is there, and yes, marijuana is legal in New York City, in New York State. In the open—clearly. God, look at that. Whoa.
Maybe that is because they are not out in the open. They are hotboxing, right? So they are just letting everybody see them smoke. Is that post-hotbox right there? Yes. And then they just walked around Times Square, just looking around. I am sure it got real—the lights.
Yeah. So this is what we do now to promote. That is a good promotion. Definitely in Times Square. That will get—and you have got to do something in Times Square. You have to do something.
Do not they call farting hotboxing too? Because they could do that. Nick, you are the worst man.
Scary Movie set.
What is that going to promote?
See you tomorrow.
