Uh oh, are the Guthrie ransom notes real? Are they fake? The FBI saying one thing, Sheriff Harvey saying another? I don't know. But we're going to get into it. I have Taylor Swift's wedding menu. And then we're going to get into why Kate Golin really institutionalized her son Colin. Lots to dive into. I hope you're ready for it. Let's get it baby, get it. This is no filter with Zack Peter your go to source for all the latest pop culture and reality TVT Surf fresh all week long. Now let's dive in and dive in we shall. Welcome on in everybody in the club. What's up, what's up? What's up? What's up? Oh, I'm tired a tired tard but I'm here. We add it. We alive. It is Thursday, July 2, which is the day before Taylor Swift gets married. Taylor Swift is getting married tomorrow, July 3rd. This weekend we have the 4th of July and then yesterday. I know you love when I talk about the World's Cup. Well, the World cup we won. The US Is progressing, is proceeding. It'll be the US versus, as I predicted, Belgium. Carol Baskin. So my predictions came true. I said that the US was going to beat Bosnia and Belgium was going to beat Senegal. And here we are, USA versus Belgium happening on Monday, Monday, July 6th at 5pm So I hope you're at 5am Pacific. So I hope you're ready for it. I don't think bell where I think we can beat Belgium. I'm pretty confident that we can take out Belgium. Should we progress past the round of 16 and get into the quarterfinals? I don't know because we would essentially be going up against. Let's see, what are the options we would be going up against either Spain or Portugal. So. Oh, is that also Monday? Well, that's lame. Okay, so Monday, July. Oh, yeah. Monday, July 6th is the next game. And. Oh, today. Sorry. So today is Spain versus Austria and Portugal versus Croatia. And this is the crucial one. Because of these four teams, it'll be narrowed down to two teams, and of those two teams, those two teams will battle it out with the US next Friday, July 10th. So next week will be a big week. I'm. Like I said, I'm confident that the US can probably beat Belgium. I'm not so confident because I'm predicting Spain's going to be Austria and Portugal is going to be Croatia. Therefore, it's going to be Spain versus Portugal. And from what I'm hearing about Spain and Portugal, they're both very good. And. And Portugal is where Cristiano Ronaldo is. And so. I don't know. It's not. I have faith in us, but again, I'm just saying the faith in the. I think I have my faith in the other two teams, Spain and Portugal. I feel like Portugal's gonna take it. I think Portugal is probably going to beat Spain and move forward, and then it'll be the US Versus Portugal, and then I think that's where we lose is the. I think Portugal might kick us out, but at least we make it to the quarterfinals, and I'm happy about that. Canada's still in it and Mexico is still in it. So all three hosts, as of right now, are still in it. We'll see if Mexico beats England to move forward to the next round. Presumably, they're going to end up going up against Brazil. Mexico versus Brazil. Well, I don't know. I hear England was good, too. Right, England? Well, England got two, Mexico got two, Norway got two. Brazil got two. So it's. It's been a two to one, two to zero. Well, Ecuador got zero, so Ecuador sucks. Bosnia got zero, so the US Was like, well, oh, Belgium got three and Senegal got two. That. That may give us a little run for our money, but, wow, here we are. We'll see what happens. How are we feeling about this in the live chat? Zach has done his soccer homework. I've done a bit more soccer homework since yesterday. Okay. We also won't have our star player playing on Monday. Why won't we have our. What is David Beckham not playing on Monday? Why is David Beckham not playing on Monday? Go, usa. Yes. Tiffany says Argentina. My kids say your kid. Okay. You think Argentina. Where's Argentina? Where the. Oh, Argentina's. Tomorrow. Argentina Wasn't even brought up in any of this. Why are you bringing up Argentina? They don't even have a game until tomorrow at 3. And Argentina is going up against Cabo Verde. Okay, your kids just fell out of a coconut tree. Unless you're saying that they're going to go all the way. But they don't even have a chance of going up against the U.S. anytime soon, because the U.S. we're focused on the U.S. right now. Okay? The U.S. only has a chance of they have to beat Belgium and then they have to beat whoever is in the quad today, right? Spain, Austria, Portugal, Croatia. But none of those are Argentina. Argentina will be battling it out against Switzerland, Algeria, Colombia or Ghana. I doubt Ghana is going to win. I don't think Algeria is going to win. I think it's going to be Switzerland and Colombia. I think it's going to be Australia and Argentina. They're going to move forward and then, Oof. I don't know. It's coming down to the wire. It's coming down to the wire. Prayers for the men's team. I need to see Cristiano Ronaldo play. Is there a woman's team? Women aren't allowed in the World Cup. Come on. What are you talking about? Women belong in the kitchen, not in the World Cup. Kidding. Jokes, guys, jokes. Women have cups at the dinner table with coffee in them. And men fight for the World cup without shirts on on the field. Zach, predicting the World cup was not in my 2026 being Marley. Do you not know me? Hello. Molly says, can we take polls and bets like Taylor's wedding? Oh, okay. Do you want? We want. We can do that. Is Karen Bass going to be at the Ghana game? I hope so. Karen Bass can be like, go, Ghana. She's gonna be like, burn that team down, baby. Burn it down. Burn that field down. You know, Karen Batts is gonna be out there. She's gonna be lighting her her lighter. She's like, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Hey, hey. Palisades. Palisade. Shout out to the lovely mods. Yes. Shout out to the lovely mods.

I'm just hopeful that we can win one more game. But if we don't even have our star player and Belgium seems to be pretty good. Okay, so these are our. So this is Adams. What is his name? No, he news.

Why is our team all from England? Most of our team is made up of England. Okay, well, here he is. He's our star player. Damn. And we're not going to have him on Monday. Why is he out? Is he taking a break? Is he on maternity leave? Felorium to miss USMNT World Cup Clue. Oh, Clash due to red card. The red card. Got him. What is the red card? Okay. Falarin Baligun. Often mistakenly spelled Bellagon. Okay. Received a highly controversial red card in the 64th minute of the USA's World cup round of 32 match against Bosnia. Despite the ejection, the US won the game 2 to 1 to advance. While the while tracking the ball, Bull again fell awkwardly and inadvertently stepped on the back of Bosnian defender Tarek Maharimic. Calf on his calf, dragging his cleats down onto his ankle. Brazilian referee Rafael Claus. I already don't like him. Originally whistled the play as a standard foul, but was prompted by by the video assistant referee to review the challenge at the pitch side. Monitor the red card. After the review, Klaus ruled the challenge as a serious foul play and ejected Baligan from the match. Wow. He ejected him. Baligan scored his third goal of the tournament in the first half, but became the first US player to score and be sent off in a World cup knockout game since. Since Zen. Since Zinedine Zind Zidane. In 2006. He will serve an automatic one match suspension and will miss the USA's round of 16 match against Belgium. He will be eligible to return if the US advances to the quarterfinals. The red card drew widespread frustration with many pundits, fans and coaches arguing that the step was accidental. Former referee Mark Clatterberg noted on the broadcast that it did not reach the criteria of a red card and it was just an accident. Do we have to watch this? We have to watch this like we're invested now. Hold on. We have to watch this together. He did okay. Molly. Dare. Do you think he deserved the red card or he did not deserve the red card? Sorry. I know we're going deep into the sports today, 12 years ago even, and.
C
But it's doable and yeah, I think they can take so many positives away from this game.
B
That was huge. Yeah, it's going to be a tough one for Flo Balagun to sit down and swallow sitting out the next. That's how you pronounce it. Balagun Game. Herc. This red card obviously has come at the worst time, considering he was just definitely growing into this tournament and being the top striker for the U.S. leading
C
goal scorer for the U.S. men's national team was the last time you had a striker who scored three goals in a World Cup. One that is this dynamic, this dangerous that can create for himself and for others. And with the circumstantial action, you put it into slow motion, you put it into freeze frame, you take it into Var and it looks terrible. It looks like he comes across the Achilles tendon of his opponent and it's an easy red to dissect. But I'm with Jurgen. The. The problem here is, is that Var is so inconsistent. FIFA is so inconsistent. What excuse for the what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander. Messi does this and I'm. It's low hanging fruit. Messi's one of a few players that have done this action.
A
Yeah.
C
And it doesn't get called. It's not even a foul. There's no card faller. And Baligan does this and it does. Messi's one of a few players that have done this action.
A
Yeah.
C
And it doesn't get called. It's not even a foul. There's no card faller. And Baligan does this. It gets reviewed. And when you put it under review, when you slow it down, when you go picture by picture, obviously there's contact. He comes across the Achilles and you're going to red card him. The problem isn't that this is a red card. It's that it's so inconsistent that it leaves fans and us pundits frustrated. How can you not call that one and call this one? How can you not impact that Play that person and impact this play this person? That's what would frustrate me if I was playing in the VAR era, period.
B
What he said. Rigged. Who set this up? Nithya Ramen. I bet you Nithya Raman was behind the red card. Watch, that's going to be a headline tomorrow. Zach Peter accuses Nithya Ramen of rigging the World Cup. Okay, here it is. Let's watch it. Let's watch it. There we go. The ball's kicking balls. Let's go. Balls, balls, balls. Boom. Oh, okay. Was that an accident or was it on purpose? It didn't look very good. Let's watch it again. Let's zoom in. Oof. Okay, that kind of looked like an accident, right? Oh, he does kind of push him, though. But it kind of looks like he tripped. I don't think he intentionally stepped on him. Right. We're all in agreement on that. Oof. Did he kick him? I don't know, guys look too good. No, he didn't do it on purpose. There's no way he did that on purpose. And then he's being dramatic. Look at him. Drama. Oh, my God. Drama. I mean, I don't know. It does look a little rough.
C
Oof.
B
I don't think he intentional. Oh, was that intentional? No, that wasn't intentional. That was a total like we tripped, right? That wasn't intentional. I've seen worse from girls basketball. Here we go. Look at that. Slow motion. Oof. Slow motion. For me, slow motion. Okay, well, if. When you do it from that angle. Yeah, it's already. Okay. That wasn't intentional. He's trying to gab, like, gather his footing. He's not even looking. Look at. Look at his head. Look at his head. His head is looking the other way. His head is literally looking the other way as he's trying to step down, and he just happens to step on the guy's ankle. That was not intentional. He didn't even land. Like, that was. Look, See, he's not even looking down. He doesn't even realize he's stepping on his ankle. There's no way that. I mean, it looks fucking bad. I get it. But, like, also, there's no way. There's no way he was robbed. That's cheating. Cheating. Historically, FIFA refs have been cheaters. Some have been killed in the past. Oh, my God. Okay, I think we're all in agreement that that was not. Not cool. No way, Jose. I'm sorry. Falerin Bell, again, that was not. That was wrong. Well, maybe we won't make it any further in the game. Got tangled up. Not intentional. Absolutely. Love. So Sophie Pointer. We love Sophie Pointer. She, like that, like, Wingardium Leviosa. She was doing. She was doing Lord Voldemort. She didn't even need a wand. She was doing, like, her fingers, like, what? What? I don't know why everyone's so big on Sophie right now. Sophie Cunningham. I feel like that's such an old story, but everyone's, like, hooked on Sophie right now. It's like that happened, like, a long time ago. He's just going to ball aggressively, as you do in the World Cup. Yeah, the. They were counting red cards way after the play. Yeah, that's what I mean. They called it. And they're like, oh, it was a foul. And then they're like, years later, I'm cackling with Zach, reviewing bad calls. Why are you cackling, Mary? That was a bad call. I hope we beat Belgium despite this. I hope so, too. It's not looking too. It's not looking too. Too positive for us. The USA had to play one down. Had play one play down the rest of the game. Listen, fingers crossed, we're still in it to bring out Sophie. Sophie doesn't play. Sophie. Sophie would be out there on the fields getting red cards all day. Sophie don't play. Oh, man, I want to see you in that soccer crowd with the Marlboro shirt and a cowboy hat. Zach, could you imagine a little cigarette? Got a beer in my hand. Cigarette, Little Siggy, Siggy, Siggy, can you see? See, sometimes your words just hypnotize me. Okay, let's move on to Guthrie. Fake ransom. Now what? Okay, so the FBI and the missing case of Nancy Bin a Ramsey. So Nancy Guthrie, as we know, was kidnapped by the old lady snatchers. And now there are all these questions about all these different ransom notes and what's real and what's not real. So there's a report that came out. The FBI determined that the. That they weren't certain that the ransom notes were real. Okay? And then the FBI issued this statement, and it reads, the FBI and its task force and its task force partners have received several ransom notes over the course of this investigation. Some have been deemed to be extortion attempts without legitimacy. Other ransom demands may potentially be legitimate and are being investigated as such. This case continues to be investigated as a kidnapping for ransom. The FBI has and will continue to offer all assistance possible in the investigation. However, local authorities remain the lead. So they're like, listen, it's Sheriff Nana. Nana Nano's deal with him. Don't be mad at us. I don't know. And then Sheriff Harvey Levin came out, and Harvey was saying over at tmz, Harvey was saying that he has multiple sources over at the FBI. And according to Harvey, they believe that the two ransom notes that I believe Savannah believes are real and not written by Annie or Tommaso. That there are two ransom notes that they believe that they're real, but they haven't been able to verify that they're real. I'm like, how do you not verify a fucking letter in 2026? Like, what? How have we not verified that these are real or not real? Like, that's crazy to me. I don't understand. I really just don't understand. I don't get it. But, okay, maybe they're real, maybe they're not real. Maybe it's Maybelline. I don't know. But at this point, Harvey says that they believe the two ransom notes that they thought were real. They believe that they're more likely real than not real. So, again, it's kind of like when they were like, oh, the person may be a woman, but it also may be a man. So we're still trying to figure it out. It's like, so you have nothing again? I'm so tired about this entire investigation. None of it makes sense. It's all fucking stupid. Laura says, why don't I believe anyone connected with this? It just doesn't make any sense. Nana. Nana Nanos needs to be removed from office. How do you butch this investigation this badly? I don't know, but it's just. Every update is no update. It's like, we think they might be fake, but we also aren't sure. So maybe they're real. Are they or aren't they? You've been on the case for four or five months now, and you still don't know if it's real or not. I mean, come on, get a brain.
C
Do.
B
Get a brain, Luann. So that's. That's where we're at with Nancy Bonnet, Ramsey. Nothing and nowhere. But, yeah, we'll see. A reported third note recently claimed to know the identity of the kid. Okay, so the FBI, this is according to People. It says the FBI ruled out three ransom notes in Nancy Guthrie's abduction case to be fake communications. A source told Reuters. Savannah Guthrie emotionally addressed the situation on Today, urging anyone with information to come forward. I mean, she doesn't really address the situation at all, other than call the FBI, and that's the most that we get out of her. Investigators reportedly determined the first two notes were from the same sender and involved cryptocurrency demands. The three ransom notes and messages surrounding the Nancy Guthrie abduction case have reportedly been ran. Ruled fake. An FBI official told Reuters. I don't think that's true. And like I said, Harvey Levin came out and he says that according to his sources at the FBI, that's not true. They haven't determined it to be one. Determined it to be one way or the other. But at this point, they're leaning more on the fact that they're more likely true than likely untrue. Federal investigators have ruled the messages related to Nancy's disappearance to be fake communications. This includes the two ransom notes received in February shortly after Nancy's disappearance. Disappearance. As well as a note received recently claiming to know the identities of Nancy's kidnappers. Well, if they're fake, then why not just actually, like, explore them and see? Like, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. I'm so sick and tired of the stupid. Yeah, this is just too much incompetence. I agree. Laura. I'm with you. I agree. Ms. Squishy says, is it that TMZ won't give up the info from the people who left the notes? Because then people won't leave anonymous tips anymore if they can be identified. Smells like a tmz. Cya. I don't know. Yes, guys, hit the like button. Hit it, hit it, hit it. Smack it. Smack. It in the air. Smack it, Smack it in the air. Hit the like button. Hit the subscribe button. If you have not done so yet, like, and subscribe here on YouTube. You can also listen on Apple podcasts, Spotify, you can watch full episodes. YouTube X stream. It's all the things. If they think it's true, just pay the Bitcoin. It's one Bitcoin. It's 60 grand. I feel like TMZ at this point should just pay it to determine. Okay, it was real or it was not real. Right. Like, they have a budget to follow leads. Use that budget to follow leads and then exploit the shit out of it. And if you get the exclusive, like, then all eyeballs are on you. All eyes on me in the center of the ring. Just like the circus. If they're fake, those people should get in trouble. Yeah, and I'm sure they will also. How can you not track these people down? You can literally track anybody down for anything and suddenly all of a sudden you can't track down these people that allegedly stole Nancy Guthrie. Come on. They make that much in ads. Yeah, I mean, I think probably one ad could make that much. So moving on, let's talk about Taylor Swift's wedding. Omg. So Taylor Swift, almost wedding time. She's getting married tomorrow. Friday, July 3rd. Tonight, however, is the rehearsal dinner with the reported 100 guests. It's going to be held tonight from 6 to 10:30pm Eastern time. So that's what, 3pm Our time here in Los Angeles. So we're just a few hours away. It's 10, 11, 12. One. Oh, yeah. Wow. They're getting ready. Taylor's getting ready right now. But it's tonight, 6:00pm Eastern in the Madison Square Garden. The arena, they have a theater called the Emphasis Theater. That's where tonight's rehearsal dinner will be held with a hundred guests. According to Page Six, workers were seen carrying boxes containing lobster meat, blackened chicken, packaged chicken, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and chicken legs into the venue. They were also seen transporting french fries, thick cut onion rings, red and orange peppers, romaine and other produce, eggs, heavy whipping cream and whole milk. So uncertain if those are just staples that they have for the restaurants at Madison Square Garden or if these are specifically brought in for Taylor Swift's wedding. However, there was also seen where was a truck from Sartiano's, which is a famous members only restaurant in New York. Apparently it's one of Taylor's favorites because she's spotted there quite often and it looks like they may be the Ones catering tonight's rehearsal dinner. So Sartiano's in New York City. In New York Concrete jungle Where dreams are made of there's nothing you can do do now we're in New York these streams will make you. Okay, so here is the Sartiano's menu. I would imagine she's not going to go with the brunch or the breakfast menu or the prefixed menu. I'm assuming she eats the dinner off of the dinner menu. So let's see, what do they have? They have caviar. I'm sure Taylor's going to have caviar at her wedding. They have. What is that? Kudo crudo. Yum. Love some tart, some tuna tartar. We love a good crudo. They have two different crudo options. They have yellowfin and montauk fluke. Oh, it's some jalapeno. So I would imagine there's going to be some tartar. Let's see, we have salad, we have chicory salad, Caesar salad, tuscan kale salad. And they also have the house made focaccia. Ooh, that sounds yummy too. I. Do you think Taylor will have all of these available? Do you think it'll be a preset menu? And so these are some of the items on the menu. Here's the antipasti. So they have meatballs, burrata. So it's Italian. So tonight's word, assuming tonight's dinner is going to be Italian, baked clams, octopus, steak tartare, frito misto, burrata. Then they have all sorts of other fun dishes. Pastas, lasagna, fossili, potato gnocchi. Yummy. So I would imagine there's going to be maybe some fish, some meat, some pasta. I mean the menu seems kind of basic if you ask me. Like a pretty standard Italian. Just like an oversized Italian menu. Oh wait. I'm so sorry guys. I just realized this whole time I never switched over to the menu to show you all the fun things. I was just reading them for you. But yeah, here they are. Meatballs, burrata, steak tartare, clams, lasagna, gnocchi, steak tomahawk.

Oof.

You know, Travis is. Travis loves himself a 40 ounce prime tomahawk ribeye. You know, Travy loves him some steak. Give him the steak. How does Taylor now have some Nashville hot chicken? Does she? Molly says I can only ever get 5pm reservations because it's always booked up. What is it, 5pm or 10pm? That's how you know you're not in It. Because if you can only do 5pm or you can only do 10pm Then you're kind of screwed. No octopus. Ugh, that makes me sad. I love octopus. But I. I know that there's not a good story behind octopi, so I'm reserving my rights. The Dover Soul is my all time favorite. They're insanely good restaurant. Ooh, Molly Dare is a frequenter. So Molly Dare, what is it like at this restaurant? Like, is it Uber exclusive? Number 20 is our star player. Oh yeah, we're. You're still on the game. Robin says I'm elderly, so I'm going to dinner early. Five o'. Clock. Not bad. I'm the same. I actually love a five o' clock dinner. Six o' clock dinner, if there's dinner. First of all, eight and beyond is a hard no for me. Seven is like pushing it. Seven to 7:30 is like maybe. Eight and beyond is a hard no. Hard, hard no. I love a 5pm dinner or a 5:36pm dinner. I truly love that because you can get your little drink on, you can have dinner, you can enjoy yourself and then you can still go home and have like a full nighttime routine. Right? Like that's the best vibe. Anchovy11 says my boyfriend just came in to see who the highly entertaining, quick witted voice belonged to. And then he's seen your shirt and a new fan was born. A star is born. You love, love my, my Siggy. Siggy, Siggy, Siggy. You know, I'm going to tell you, after we taped DMZ last week, I actually felt so bad. So I'm not a frequent. I don't smoke often, like at all. My rule is funerals and weddings. That's where I'll sneak a little Siggy. But last week after we taped dmz, we went out to dinner and apparently there was like a really cute waiter. And like, I was apparently really bad at flirting with him. When I didn't think that I was bad at flirting with him, I thought I was just. First of all, I actually thought that I was a little flirty. But like, I also just didn't really. I don't know, I don't go out to dinner to be like, oh yeah, let me bang the cute waiter. Anyway, long story short, I think I had like three martinis. And afterwards when we were walking out, Donna always craves a cigarette after dinner. And so love, love this story from Donna imitating you, Zach K. They were saying, Molly and Donna were saying that I had my sunglasses on which they were not sunglasses. They're very lovely, very cute Tom Ford glasses. They have blue lenses. So, yes, they do have some UV protection, but they're. They're transition glasses. Right? They're fashion glasses. So you can wear them indoors and you can wear them outdoors. Right? Like, there's not a. There's not a point where you can take. You take them off. Like, you wear it for the vibe. You wear it for the fit. Like the yellow lens glasses. People wear the yellow lens glasses all the time, right? They're fashion glasses. They go with the outfit. So first of all, Donna made me take my glasses off. Cause I wasn't allowed to wear them during dmz, whatever. But then I wore them at dinner. Cause I was like, well, fine, if I'm not allowed to wear them on camera, I'm at least going to wear them at dinner because I love these glasses and I'm feeling the vibe. And so apparently that was rude. And then apparently they said that I was on my phone the entire time. And I was like, well, well, was I supposed to do. Like, I wasn't on a date with the waiter. He would come, he would take our order. There'd be little small talk. But, like, for the most part, you're not trying to bang the waiter, right? You're not just like, hey, waiter, so tell me about your whole life story. What are your hobbies? What do you do for work? You know, what do your weekends look like? Like, the poor guy is going around from other table to table to take their orders. And, like, I didn't want to stand. Steal him. The glasses were part of your outfit. Thank you, Robin. Thank you. Yes, they have some UV protection. Yeah, they have some UV protection. Don't blame the cigarettes on Donna. Nobody peer pressured you. No, I didn't blame the cigarettes on Donna. So we were leaving the restaurant, and then Donna was craving a cigarette, as she does after dinner, and there were these two lovely ladies, and they were smoking. And. And. But at that point, we had already called our cars, and, like, our. I think her car was valet, so they were gonna bring her car. And Donna was. My car was like, literally about to pull up. And so they gave. Donna bummed a cigarette off of them. And she was smoking it. And I was like, oh, I don't have time for a full cigarette. And I also. I already had three martinis. I don't even know if I want a full cigarette. But I was like, donna, let me have a puff. And so I went and I. I stole a puff from Donna's. Cigarette. And. And then I gave it back to her. And then the girls were like, do you want your own cigarette? And I was like, no, it's okay. And they're like, you sure we have extras? And then I was like, ah, fuck. Okay, fine. So then I get my own, and I take, like, two puffs. And then my car pulls up, and I'm like, well, shit, I'm not gonna be that person. Let me finish my cigarette while you're right here waiting for me. So I like, try to do a few more quick puffs. And then I put it out. I couldn't finish. There was, like, at least a good half a cigarette left, and I was sad about that, and I had to leave it. So, yeah, we. It's not often, but we do on occasion have. Molly says we will give the full story today on dmz. That was the full story. I didn't leave anything out. I even left in my half a cigarette. That was the full story. There was. There was no part of that full story. Do you actually smoke Marlboros or. Which sex. No, I do. I love a Marlboro Light. Yeah, I mean, I love a full too. Give me red, silver, gold. But usually if I am. If I buy one, I'll do a light just to keep it light. And then you can, you know, if you want an extra, you can have an extra. Like, I'm not like, dorit smoking all day every day. I'm not a big smoker, but I will occasionally, you know, catch a siggy. Usually. Weddings and funerals. Those are my. That's my rule. Weddings, funerals. And now, after dinner with Donna RNXplorer, 253 with the Super Chat says this may be an unpopular opinion, but a wedding at Madison Square Garden is tacky. That's not unpopular. That's a very popular opinion. The one thing more tacky is having the Rockettes come out. All of this for a marriage that will last no more than five years. Sorry, not sorry. Are the Rockettes performing at Taylor's wedding? I don't think the Rockettes are performing. I think it's tacky that it's at Madison Square Garden. I think it's tacky that you have a thousand people. I think it's tacky that you're building your own castle. I think it's tacky. Tacky that it's on Fourth of July weekend. I think it's tacky that's on a Friday. I think it's tacky overall all around. There was A guy last night that was on tmz. I'm not sure who he was, but he was, like, trying to throw people off and act like the wedding was not at Madison Square Garden. So, I don't know. Tacky that she is having a concert. I mean, it seems kind of like a concert vibe, right? Molly says, and let the record show, I did not partake in smoking of any kind. Yeah, Spin Velocity. Molly did not. She was a good girl. And she only had two martinis. Oh, no. She only had one martini and then switched. Spin Velocity says I still crave, but can't smoke socially. Can't drink socially without. So no booze, no cigarettes. But I do miss a good Marlboro. What do you do for fun? You don't drink, you don't smoke. What are you, a Gen Z? Sober. Where did you get your shirt, Zach? Online, I think. On, like, TikTok shop or something. You guys are dropping some. Some banger super chats. We have a $20 and a $30 banger. A cigarette once in a blue moon is nice, right? Worst and worst astrology as well. Mars, Uranus conjunction. What does that have to do with it? It's tacky that she wants more attention than the fourth of July. I know, I know. Donna said Zach hides in his phone. I was on my phone at dinner. Yes, I was on my phone. Give in, not give him. Robin, who are you giving? I quit smoking over 23 years. Now go. And I can't even have just one. But I hate being around it. That being said, I do crave them from time to time, but I can't give in. Why? Tanya says I'm bad girly. I smoke and I drink. My neck, my back, my puss, and my crack. She did reenact your flirting. What was my flirting? What did my flirting look like? I. I would ask him. I would be. What was his name? Molly, what was his name? Teddy. See? I even remembered his name. And I'm terrible at remembering names. I was like, Teddy. I asked Teddy where he was from. His family originated from Greece. I asked Teddy if he was an actor. He is an actor, but he's an actor, producer, writer. So I took some interest, you know, but, like, also, I'm not on a date when I'm going to dinner with my friends. I believe Donna. Wow. Believe all women. NSYNC had their first iconic concert at Madison Square Garden. Taylor, how dare you stand where they stood? I mean, honestly. $20 million is the estimated budget for the wedding. That's crazy. That is crazy. $20 million? Well, I mean, if she's building a whole castle and she's out here paying for other people's Rhode island weddings, I get it. Oh, I get it. I heard Zach flirts like a mannequin. Okay, hold on. Just because I had one bad night where I was not in the headspace to flirt doesn't mean that I'm a bad flirt. I actually think I'm a great flirt. I actually think I'm great with my words. Okay. However, that night probably wasn't my best night of flirting. And yes, maybe I was on my phone a lot. And yes, I did have sunglasses. Or they weren't sunglasses, they were glasses. And yes, I was wearing glasses. However, Donna was not impressed. Donna's rarely impressed. Is she calling the castle Buckingham Palace? No, that was Blake. You were out with your friends for dinner, not out to get with the waiter. Thank you, Robin. Somebody has my back. Thank you, Robin. Exactly. I was out to dinner. And I was enjoying. I was in love. They had these. They were fried olives. I've never had a fried olive in my life. But when I tell you I was with those olives. Those were some good olives. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Like, fully appreciated and enjoyed a fried olive. And I was in love. I could not stop eating the fried. I was so. I would have made love to the fried olives. Teddy was cute. Teddy was adorable. Cute, sweet. But, yeah, if Teddy were flirting back, maybe I would have flirted a little more. But Teddy, he was working. We. I don't think either of us were in the headspace to be like, oh, hi. Oh, hi. Like, it's not like we were out and he was the bartender or anything. You do use that. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Donna said you really liked him. I didn't. He was cute. Oh, the olives. Oh, yeah. I loved the olive. A fried olive. Oh, I have to try. They were delicious. See? Even Robin was like fried olives. I've never had fried olives before, and I was thoroughly in love. I was more interested in the fried olives than I was in Teddy. And I stand on that. I stand on that. 10 toes down on business. Oh, I forgot about the fried olives. Donna reenacted that part too. Why? Because I was just like, I was eating all the fried. They were delicious. Molly and Donna weren't eating the fried olives, so I was gonna live my life. We had a whole platter of fried olives. Why would I not sit there and enjoy my fried olives? So, Teddy, ain't no fried olive. No, he ain't. No, he ain't. If Teddy were in my mouth and he tasted that good, maybe I would have flirted a little harder. Maybe I would have given a little more interest. You need to put your phone away and engage in the company. Zach, please demonstrate your flirting skills will be the judge. I can't. I need to demonstrate. I need a subject to demonstrate on. But I actually am very good at flirting when I'm interested, you know, like blowjobs. When I'm interested, I can. I'm stellar. When I'm not interested, I might bite a little. Just, again, just to wrap things up. The chef in me has so many questions. Take photos next time of fried olives. You need to know. You need a photo of fried olives to know what fried olives look like? They were olives that were fried. You. You really just batter them and fry them. This is a witch hunt. Yes. Thank you. This is a witch hunt. Speed up the process. Which process? Dot BO says, well, you never know if Teddy tasted as good as those olives. It's true. I'll never know. I'll have to live with that. Are the fried olives crispy? Are fried things typically crispy? Yes, the fried olives were crispy. It's like those texts you read between Blake and Justin. Oh, yeah. That was epic. Thank you. See, I know how to be flirty. I just don't do it very often. I just always have the mindset of, like, nobody's, like, looking at me or hitting on. I'm actually really bad at catching when people are flirting with me because I just am always under the assumption that people are not flirting with me because I always, like, think of the world around me as, like, where my headspace is. Maybe that's a little self absorbed. Oh, I didn't know. Normal breading or tempura. Not tempura. No, it's not like a fried zucchini. It was, like, in panko. Right? It was very crispy. Is fried olives a sexual thing? Yes. It's like ear stuff. I'm telling you, Zach, go back for the olives and wait for Teddy, Samantha Jones style. No. What? I bet Teddy eats fried olives all the time. He probably tastes just like one. You know? I'll never know. I will never know. Okay. Kate Goslin. John. Yeah, John and Kate plus eight. So Kate Goslin. There's a new interview or a newly resurfaced interview from last year. Colin Gosling did an interview with the sun, and S u n the sun, he is the Son of Kate Gosling, though, and he talks about his mother institutionalizing him, obviously. He has his new book that's coming out in The Shadow of Eight, comes out October 13th. Very excited to read it. But. So in this interview, which came out last September, Colin Gosling opened up about why he believed his mother locked him up, won't let him out, and institutionalized him. He claims that he didn't really want to be on camera and obviously, like, her whole thing was like, exploiting her family. And he says that he would often question her. So he seemed pretty rebellious, like a kid questioning or testing his boundaries. Right. And listen, out of eight kids, one being rebellious seems kind of inevitable. Inevitable, right. Like at some point, one of them is going to test their boundaries. They're not all going to be good little, you know, good little slaves to their master, Kate. And as we know, Kate happened to be very strict. She's. She was very controlling mother. We watched that on television. She was terrible to Jon Goslin. So I can understand her frustration with one of her kids challenging her because she does not like to be challenged. She's controlling, and she likes to be the force to be reckoned with. And he says that she ended up getting him put on multiple medications. And he said that made him sick and it made him gain a lot of weight. And he didn't like that. He didn't like how he felt. He didn't like how the way he looked. He remembers she visited him one time at the facility, and he claims it was for only about 20 minutes. And he says that she blamed him for everything and said that his siblings didn't want to be around him. And I guess he was there because it was his own fault, because he didn't want to listen. And for me, like, I couldn't imagine being a kid being locked away and then told that there's something wrong with you and that that's why you have to be put away and you have to be kept away from your other siblings is because there's something wrong with you. Your behavior is bad, you're bad, you're not listening. And. And like, you know, just having that instilled in your kids that they're bad when it kind of just sounds like maybe he was a bit rebellious. Right. Tested his boundaries, was not afraid to question Kate about things, was not afraid to be his own person. And even to this day, like, Kate really seems to have no regrets. And based off of Colin's interviews, he doesn't seem to be mentally unstable. He actually seems to be Pretty grounded. And I would imagine that he. In the care of his father. Things are very different and the way that they approach him is very different. So I would say not mentally unstable at best. I'm sure he was a little defiant, probably rebellious, which for a kid his age is totally normal. For a boy his age, a young boy testing his boundaries, totally normal. Not all kids can be good little servants, Kate. But he. Here's a direct quote from Colin. He says, I don't know what the reason is, whether it was her reputation she was saving by sending me away from home or whether it was the fact that maybe it's easier to sign a work permit for seven children that are voluntary instead of seven children that are voluntary and one that's involuntary. But he says that there's a lot of things to question there in terms of why she did what she did, which is just sad, you know, it's sad, it's unfortunate. Mary says, this story really breaks my heart, but I'm glad he's surviving, Surviving, thriving, moving past it, healing through it. RN Explorer says Kate locked him up and wouldn't let him out. Truly locked up, won't let me out. She would put him in the basement. Nobody puts Colin and nobody puts Beldonia in the basement. She does seem very cold and controlling. Yeah. But also. Not that I'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but also, at the same time, it's like, I'm sure there was an immense amount of stress that she was under. Right. She didn't have a partner. She had eight kids that she was trying to provide for. Like, that's a lot. So I get why she may have been uptight, but also, like, why would you have eight children? It's. That in and of itself is crazy. But, yeah, she definitely did not seem. I think she would be this crazy if she had two children and only two children, let alone all of these kids. And I'm, you know, Good, good comparison. Cosmic Mochi. Mochi says, I compare my mother to Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter or Annie Wilkie from Misery. Yeah, I would say Umbridge is a good. I just finished watching here. I did a rewatch of all the movies a couple of weeks ago, and I remember Umbridge, and Umbridge was just like, ugh, awful. I would say Kate Gosling is like Umbridge. For sure. She did have a partner, but he can never do anything right. So he checked out, in my opinion. Yeah, she started with the partner and then eventually she ended up on her own and doing it all on her own, but I also think she's the type of person that's like, she wants to do it all on her own so that then she could say, I did it all on my own, you know? But, yeah. All right, well, that's what I got for you for today. I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your Thursday. I hope we all celebrate Taylor Swift's reception tonight. Her rehearsal dinner. Sorry. Which is happening tonight at Madison Square Garden before the big wedding tomorrow. Get ready is the big day. We also have 4th of July this weekend. But don't worry, I'll still be here tomorrow. So be sure to like and subscribe and do all the things. Leave an Apple podcast review, send all the lurve in the club and I will talk to you guys tomorrow. Get ready for Daily Dose of Donna and DMZ Live. New DMZ Live is going to be coming at you soon. All right, let's get it. All right, guys, have a good one. Talk to you later. Bye.

Host: Zack Peter
In this lively episode, Zack Peter serves unfiltered commentary on the hottest recent pop culture and reality TV news. The main topics include:
[00:49 – 16:09]
“I think we can beat Belgium. I’m pretty confident that we can take out Belgium. Should we progress past the round of 16 and get into the quarterfinals? I don’t know…” [01:27]
“We also won’t have our star player playing on Monday...Who is our star player?”
“Florian Balogun. Who the hell is that?” [09:20 – 13:30]
“That one really old man who was 38…oh, I’m worried about his hips, you know?” [14:34]
“The problem isn’t that this is a red card. It’s that it’s so inconsistent that it leaves fans and us pundits frustrated. How can you not call that one and call this one?” – Guest commentator [20:40]
“There’s no way he did that on purpose … He was robbed. That’s cheating. Historically, FIFA refs have been cheaters.” [23:23]
“Rooting for the cute guys. Yeah. You know Balloon. Who's Balloon?” [14:57]
[23:38 – 33:30]
“The FBI saying one thing, Sheriff Harvey saying another? I don’t know. But we’re going to get into it.” [00:49 & 23:38]
“How do you not verify a fucking letter in 2026?...Every update is no update.” [27:23]
“None of it makes sense. It’s all fucking stupid.”
“Get a brain, Luann!” [28:45]
“If they think it’s true, just pay the Bitcoin. It’s one Bitcoin. It’s $60 grand. I feel like TMZ at this point should just pay it to determine.” [30:28]
[33:30 – 40:40]
“So I would imagine there’s going to be maybe some fish, some meat, some pasta. I mean, the menu seems kind of basic if you ask me. Like a pretty standard Italian, just like an oversized Italian menu.” [34:55]
“A wedding at Madison Square Garden is tacky. That’s not unpopular. That’s a very popular opinion. The one thing more tacky is having the Rockettes come out. All of this for a marriage that will last no more than five years. Sorry, not sorry.” [37:26]
“It’s tacky that it’s on Fourth of July weekend. I think it’s tacky overall all around.” [38:00]
[40:40 – 46:55]
“I don’t know what the reason is, whether it was her reputation she was saving by sending me away from home or whether it was the fact that maybe it’s easier to sign a work permit for seven children that are voluntary…and one that's involuntary.” [42:57]

On US Soccer’s star player debate:
“I just learned we had a team, now I have to learn who the players are.” – Zack [10:01]
On FIFA officiating:
“The problem here is…VAR is so inconsistent…What’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander. Messi does this…and it doesn’t get called. Folarin Balogun does this and it does.” – Guest commentator [20:40]
