That's what I got.

Zach Peter (4:32)

Blake's a cunt, man. Is this. Oh, this is flashback. Did you just get. Did I just get subpoenaed on stage? What? I'm like, holy shit. What the fuck is happening? Is this right real? Did I just get served on stage? What? Are you kidding me? Is this real right now?

All right, catch a new episode of the Toy Tapes this Sunday on Spotify and on YouTube. What a time. It was definitely a journey and an adventure, but. Okay, without further ado, shall we bring in today's special guest? He's here every Friday. Please welcome back Chef Stu. Stu, welcome to the number three podcast on Apple. On Apple.

Chef Stu (6:11)

I know, I just was looking. Congratulations. That's amazing. Thank you for. It's so hard. That's hard to do. Like, that's amazing.

Zach Peter (6:21)

What a time.

Chef Stu (6:22)

You're eating two teas in a pod like some other people.

Zach Peter (6:27)

Two teas in a teapot.

Chef Stu (6:32)

No, it's okay.

Zach Peter (6:33)

Awesome.

Chef Stu (6:33)

Three watchables. Like, what is that?

Zach Peter (6:37)

It's a pod. You know what I love about it, just to like, give myself a little flexor, is. I mean, people knew that I had a two year contract with the Ringer and I cleared my first year and I was halfway into my second year because the rewatchables is. It's on the ringer. And so the Ringer has a number of different shows. They. And I was on the Ringer reality TV podcast. That was the one that I was on. And I was like a regular host. I came in weekly. We would recap different shows. That was outside of no filter. And I used to do that. I did it for a year. My contract got renewed for a second year. I was halfway into that contract, and then they abruptly, like, took me off and just like, basically fired me without officially firing me is what it felt like. And they wouldn't give me a ro. Like, they just one week I was on the schedule, the next week they're just like, oh, we don't need you this week. And I was like, oh, like, you don't need me ever. And they're like, well, we'll let you know. And I was like, you let me know, but like, can you let me? Like, what? And then like, I was in. There were. There were like non compete agreements in it. Like, it was just like it was a whole thing. And like, for months, for a whole year I was begging them, practically begging them to be like, hey, guys, like, can I please finish my contract? Because, like, that was money. I wouldn't get paid if I didn't fulfill the second, you know, the next however many months of my contract or however many episodes were left in my contract. I didn't get paid for those episodes because I had to deliver on them in order to get paid for them. And I was like, yeah, okay, can I fill, like, can I just finish those episodes out? Like, I get it. If you don't wanna, if you wanna like fire me or not renew my contract for a third year, it's totally fine, I get it. But like, can you just let me finish these episodes? And they wouldn't, they just, for whatever. Like I kept asking and they're like, well, we don't need you right now. But like, if you have ideas then like you can pitch us on ideas. And I was like, okay, well what if I did this? What if I did that? What if I did this show and every single idea that I pitched to them was like immediately like, no, no, no. Like there was not even a conversation about it. There wasn't any feedback on any of the pitches. It was just like, no, no, no. And so for a full year I just sat and was just like begging them to work me. And they never worked me my contract, just like never. They never picked it back up again. But the annoying part was then I would see that they would have like Ryan Bailey come in or Gibson Johns come in and they're great guys. I have no shade or any, anything towards Gibson or towards Ryan. But I was like, clearly you, you, you don't have a lack of need for that type of pop culture Bravo, you know, commentary. But for whatever reason, and I assume Gibson and Ryan did not get paid for their appearances on the Ringer reality TV podcast. I was under contract and they had to pay me for every episode. So I don't know if it was a money thing, which if that was the case then just tell me. And it's a, it's a money thing, we have to let you go. And I would be like, cool, I'm totally fine. But like, let me know because keeping me on ice for all these months, I'm just like, I need to know, do, am I going to have a job or not? Do I have this paycheck or not? Are you going to pick my contract up again in 3, 4, 5, 6 weeks, 2 months? 5 months? Like is that ever going. That was the worst part was they were jerking me around. I was under a non compete, so I couldn't go to another network and do similar commentary. Shitty.

Chef Stu (9:59)

They're letting you go? Yeah, that's the thing. It's like the contract, not you exactly

Zach Peter (10:05)

let me go, pay me my money and let me go or whatever the case is. But like, I just thought it was so cruel to Keep me in that contract and then to outsource the role that I could have been filling with Gibson and Ryan, like, every time I saw somebody new sitting in that seat, I was just like, this is shitty. Because it's like. And again, I assume they did not get paid, and if they did get paid, then that's even more fucked up to do that, you know, I doubt that they got paid. I doubt they had a contract. I did have a contract, though. And I mean, listen, if you want cheap labor, if you want to just have people come in and not have to pay them, that's fine, but it was just shitty that, like, I was dependent on that money. I was relying on that money. Like, that was money that was helping to cover my overhead every month. So when you have a job that you think, okay, at least have this for the next couple of months or whatever, especially in this world, in entertainment, when you have a contract and you at least have a timeframe of like, okay, I have this much coming in under this contract, and you, like, budget yourself accordingly. Like, when that gets abruptly taken away and then not even fully taken away, but it gets like, we're just going to put it on the shelf. And then I'm like, well, I need that money. Like, can you. Can I get that money, please? Like, I'll work. I will do it. I will clean the janitor's closet if you need me to clean the janitor's closet, but just let me work. Don't take my money away from me and then, like, punish me and not give me a real reason, you know?

Chef Stu (11:34)

Yeah. Oh, my God. Jesus.

Zach Peter (11:36)

Yeah. So that was my. That's why when you're like, what's the rewatchables? I was like, oh, that's from the ringer. And I know. I remember the ringer very well. Harboring my money. Allegedly. Yeah. So, so much to get into. Have you been following Nancy Bennet Ramsey?

Chef Stu (11:58)

It's just like, in and out. Yeah.

Zach Peter (12:01)

Like.

Chef Stu (12:02)

Like, who do I think? I had Giorgio on this week on my podcast, and he kind of. We ran over it a bit and stuff, but, like, it just. Nothing makes sense, you know? And what.

Zach Peter (12:12)

What did he say?

Chef Stu (12:14)

I can't even remember. It just changes all the time. Well, just all, like, the burglary thing, like, who's gonna take a woman like that? Like, you know what I mean? Like, was it a family?

Zach Peter (12:23)

What's your take? I.

Chef Stu (12:28)

Well, I thought it would be a family altercation, and maybe she kind of fell down or maybe she got a stroke or a Heart attack or something. And they were like, oh, fuck. And then they're like trying to move her or hide her or something like that. Then the other side of it then is. Which is like, I'm seeing this all over the place now, is that Trump took her or something like that. Like, so I'm just like. And then he's going to save the day. And like, she's like, oh, I found her or something. I don't know.

Zach Peter (12:54)

Like.

Chef Stu (12:54)

Because the story from all.

Zach Peter (12:57)

It's day 20. Trump is not going to save Nancy Guthrie. It's day 20. I don't think Trump took her. I don't think. Yeah, yeah, it would have been on day five. I don't think Trump took her. I don't think this is an Epstein file. I think it's similar. Listen, there's a reason we're not seeing the family. When have you ever seen a family so disengaged from a missing person's case? A person that they believe is still alive and out there, per their owner

Chef Stu (13:27)

does the posts every so often. Savannah is right on Instagram.

Zach Peter (13:30)

Stuart, if your mother went missing, are you going to tell me you're just going to, what, do an Instagram story every other eight days? And that's when you are literally on NBC on the Today show. That's. You're just going to be like, hey, guys, I just think. But, like.

Chef Stu (13:47)

But the whole country is looking for her. So, like, what else can she do?

Zach Peter (13:51)

Go find her mom, go on a search crew, go on NBC every day and keep the story alive. If you're gonna do little Instagram stories, then do a story every day giving people an update and thanking the public.

Chef Stu (14:05)

Do you think, then. But basically, like, so where does. So where does that leave you then? Because they're not doing what you would like them to.

Zach Peter (14:13)

No prayer. It's not about what I would like them to do. I'm saying it's weird that they're not doing anything.

Chef Stu (14:20)

No matter what.

Zach Peter (14:21)

There's no. Look at that. They're not. They're not going. And even Casey Anthony was trying to find her daughters, too. Come on. Like, there's no search party. They don't have Nancy's face on their T shirts. They're not doing a single. They did that. The family. The family did not participate in a search party. The family has not done a single press conference. The family at best gives us these.

Chef Stu (14:45)

They're very good at doing those on camera.

Zach Peter (14:47)

Things like, Savannah's a news anchor.

Chef Stu (14:50)

Stuart, it could be Savannah, not the whole Family. Do you know what I mean? Because the brother looked really like guilty when he went.

Zach Peter (14:57)

Would you not be doing everything in your power to be trying to make your mother a national? She became a joke and she became a joke. It became a meme. Because the sheriff is clearly incompetent. And the family's not showing us their grief or their distraught. Not that they're entitled. Not that we're entitled to their grief or they're distraught. But you would just think that they would want to like show how badly. Stuart. They haven't even given a single penny to this investigation. They haven't donated a penny. Savannah makes $8 million a year on the Today show and she is not offered a single penny. The Internet had to put together a GoFundMe account to raise money to help pay for the tip hotline. Jesus. But like, yeah, see as. Look, as they said Katie of Arc said even Scott Peterson pretended to search for Lacy.

Chef Stu (15:52)

Record sales have not exactly been stellar. Look, I need this tour.

Zach Peter (15:56)

It's the only place I feel like

Chef Stu (15:57)

I can breathe again. Based on the incredible true story I'm Tim. I'm Marks one up. It's my first tour. Now I just want to write something that helps people. You will never understand what I'm going through.

Zach Peter (16:10)

Imagine what God can do again.

Chef Stu (16:12)

Whatever you're going through, you're never alone. God is ending fire and it is beautiful. I can only imagine too now playing only in theaters. Rated PG.

Zach Peter (16:23)

Support is available 247 with Verbo Care. We're here day or night, ready whenever you need help. Because a great trip starts with the right support.

Chef Stu (16:41)

I don't. I. Well, like or. Where are you at it now? Where are you at on the fucking case? Like, what do you think you're talking to everybody about it? Like everybody?

Zach Peter (16:51)

Yeah, I cover it every day. I think that there was.

Chef Stu (16:54)

What about the. Did you know that murder mystery people.

Zach Peter (16:58)

I think that the kidnapping is faking gay. I think it's not real. I think that it was either a cover up or a setup. It was either a fake kidnapping or it was a staged kidnapping. It's one of the two. I don't believe that the kidnapping is real. There's nothing about this kidnapping that fits the profile or the statistics of a regular kid. You don't. You don't snatch up an old lady. Where's this old lady snatcher that's keeping her in a warehouse for 20 days? Come on. They think we fell out of a coconut tree. The ransom notes didn't come until way after the news started reporting about her being missing. Like, none of the story makes sense. Elizabeth says, is Stu afraid to have an opinion? I don't know. He. This is the one time he's come on the show with no opinions.

Chef Stu (17:47)

No, I'm just like, I don't fucking. Like, I don't know where to go from it. Like, I told you, two little things. Two. Two things that, like, the story doesn't make sense. Now people on TikTok are saying it's Trump, like, took her or something, but I don't believe that either. I think that's dumb. I don't over, like, what the Epstein files because, like, Savannah interviewed women, like, years ago. I think that's bullshit. I don't think that's it at all. But it's like, I've. Like, I'm literally lost in my head. I have no idea. Like, then I was thinking, like, oh, was the mom's money being mishandled? And they confronted her and she was going to speak out, so then they killed her.

Zach Peter (18:19)

That was one of my theories. Listen, I think there's something the family's not telling us. It's fucking mental. You know, there's something the family is not disclosing. And there's a reason and there's a reason that the sheriff is botching this case. Like, it's just too bad. Like, it's so bad. Wait, no, hold on. Then hate. Haters gonna hate.

Chef Stu (18:42)

Oh, my God.

Zach Peter (18:44)

When he said that in his interview that haters gonna hate, I was like,

Chef Stu (18:50)

haters gonna hate her.

Zach Peter (18:53)

Like, that was wild. Haters gonna hate is crazy.

Chef Stu (18:59)

He's at the casino in Vegas. Just plenty slots.

Zach Peter (19:03)

I hope so. Sheriff got paid. I don't know if it's the sheriff got paid off or if the sheriff is just so enamored with the celebrity profile of this case that he's willing to do whatever the family wants, you know, like, come on, his. His statement, clearing the family. When in any missing person's investigation this early on where you have no arrests, no leads, nothing. When do you just like, oh, yeah, the whole family. Don't. Don't look at them. Don't. We haven't seen them. They're not coming out publicly. Their behavior is a little sus. But you know what? Don't even look at the family. This has nothing to do with them. We're not blaming the family at all. Now I'm looking at the family even more now. It's even more fucking weird. Oh, maybe the sheriff is worried about ratings on his show. Did you See that? The sheriff's team has a reality show.

Chef Stu (19:53)

Oh, my God. I heard that. That's fucking. That's it. That's like, come on. This country is insane. Like, you guys are just like. Just like, there's an opportunity.

Zach Peter (20:03)

Reality show.

Chef Stu (20:04)

Let's go.

Zach Peter (20:05)

Right. Don't pay attention to the man behind. Behind the curtain. Yeah. Pool cleaner showed up again today. The pool cleaners keep coming to clean up what you would think would be a crime scene. You have the gardeners and the pool cleaner. Like, they're. Annie's getting ready to move in. I don't. Like, I don't even know what's going on here. Like, it's so. And people got mad at me because I called them out. I'm like, why is this your priority? Like, again, if you were making $8 million a year, you're gonna tell me you wouldn't at least offer up 50k for tips on finding your mother?

Chef Stu (20:37)

I thought she did. No, but there was a thing. I saw like 5,000 or something like that a while back, like on TMZ. But, yeah, she should. She should be offering, like, 100K. But I thought, like, there was some kind of offering maybe from the FBI or something, and people were calling.

Zach Peter (20:53)

Yeah, you know where that. You know where that. You know where that came from? Me and you, our tax paying dollars pay for that FBI pot. So, yeah, I definitely want some damn answers. If it's the taxpayers that are funding this investigation. And the Guthrie family seems to have zero participation. Like, every day I become more and more critical of the Guthrie family because I don't understand. I. I, Like, I'm. I just. I don't get it.

Chef Stu (21:18)

Someone said, am I related to Chef Nanos?

Zach Peter (21:21)

Sheriff, are you. Can't get a single answer out of you today.

Chef Stu (21:28)

I mean. No, I just don't know where to go with it. Like, I'm just like, my mind's blown. Like, I just. I'm waiting for the shoot to drop. I'm waiting for, like, a notification on my phone, like, oh, we found her. She's dead. Or like, I. I just. I don't know. I think it's just going to be the wildest thing whenever this is solved. Like, it's gonna be like, really? Like, it's gonna be one of those.

Zach Peter (21:47)

We're not gonna solve it. I'm. Trust me, this is. The case has been botched too much at this point. And it's growing cold. I don't think they're gonna. If they do find her at this point, and I hate to say this, but I think if they do find her, her body's gonna be so decomposed that they're not gonna know what happened to her. And we're never gonna know what happened to Nancy. I just don't think, like, it's going to be another JonBenet Ramsey. It's going to be another cold case that never gets solved. And what was the theory in JonBenet Ramsey? That it was a family cover up.

Chef Stu (22:18)

Yeah, I didn't ever find that out either.

Zach Peter (22:22)

Carol says I completely. We know what happened. The brother did it. Allegedly. That's the theory, is that the brother did it and then the parents covered it up to protect the brother. Which would make sense in this case, too, if the sister and the brother in law did it. Like, you know, it would make sense.

Chef Stu (22:39)

I don't know. I don't know. I have nothing else to say about it because I just. I can't. Like, it's. It's.

Zach Peter (22:46)

Well, here. Oh, wait, here. Here are the latest updates. So per Michael Ruiz on X, he says Pima. Pima county authorities tell Fox News that their tip line has been flooded in the wake of Nancy Guthrie's suspected abduction. And they're asking callers to take a moment and weigh whether their tip is viable before they pick up the phone. So now they're basically saying, please stop sending us tips about this elderly woman that we lost and haven't been able to find for 20 days. Is that where we're at? We're tired of tips. We're getting so many tips that we don't want any more tips.

Chef Stu (23:18)

And I. What happened with the ransom? Like, did that go away?

Zach Peter (23:21)

Like, what?

Chef Stu (23:22)

Like. And why?

Zach Peter (23:23)

Like, well, I don't know. Savannah was like, we're going to pay the ransom. Let's do it. And then. And then she. And then she never addressed the ransom again.

Chef Stu (23:31)

And then, like, I just don't understand, like, the letters going to like, TMZ

Zach Peter (23:34)

and stuff like that.

Chef Stu (23:35)

Like, that's like, that's not how that happens, right?

Zach Peter (23:37)

No. The letters are fake and gay. The kidnapping fake and gay. All of this, like, it's just getting more and more suspicious. And the more every road you try to go down. And I've tried to break down all of the theories. Robbery gone wrong, abduction, family abduction. Like, I've tried to go down all the theories and all the theories just lead back to Annie and Tommaso. They were the last ones to see this woman alive.

Chef Stu (24:01)

Yeah.

Zach Peter (24:03)

And suddenly they know nothing. I don't think that this is some Illegal alien that took her over the border. Like, nobody takes an old lady to sex traffic her. Come on. No. Come on.

Chef Stu (24:14)

That's fucking not happening. No way.

Zach Peter (24:15)

She's 84. She can't even walk on her own. It's crazy. It's bonkers. Banana. I think it's Savannah stalker theory. I've thought of that theory, but you would think if it's Savannah stalker, they would have some leads, and you would be like, okay, this is the stalker. We know where to go. Yeah, a stalker. Again, a stalker is not going to take an old lady and keep her where. Where do they have her? In a bunker? In a warehouse, in a basement? Oh, my God. Some of the theories I heard. I was listening to a thing the other night, and this one lady was like, oh, you know, there's tribal land in Arizona. It's very likely that they could have taken Nancy to tribal land. And. And those people need money, so they probably paid a family to harbor her. I'm like, nancy's in some family's basement. You know what I mean?

Chef Stu (25:07)

It's just like, this is just. We could just go around in circles and circles and circles of interviews. It's just. It's.

Zach Peter (25:15)

It's crazy. Family staying quiet. I just. I don't understand the family staying quiet part. I like that, to me, just is. So you see the family in an. In a press conference every other day. You see them wearing shirts with their loved one's face on it. You see them participating in the search party. You see them doing everything that they can to try and keep this story alive. We're in California. We're in Los Angeles. That's ridiculous and kind of offensive. Which part? I think it's more offensive that they haven't found the lady yet. Y' all would be sick of seeing my face, right, Debbie? Like you would. I would be on TMZ day after day. The press is leaving, so. Oh, yeah. So now the press is leaving. The press is leaving, and the sheriff's department's like, don't send us any more tips. You sent too many tips. It's been 20 days, and we don't know anything about anything. But it's too many tips. Stop sending us so many tips. But then it gets better, Stu. Well. Oh, well, first of all, Savannah Guthrie. There's a new report in Page Six that she is leaving the Today Show. She's not coming back. Hoda cop has been filling in for her. Do you think she's. I don't think she's coming back. I think if anything, we get a sit down with Hoda.

Chef Stu (26:29)

I would think she'd take six months off and go come back. Well, I like.

Zach Peter (26:33)

Well, you think?

Chef Stu (26:34)

I think whatever happens, whatever the result is from that six months on, and then she'll come back.

Zach Peter (26:43)

So you think she'll come back?

Chef Stu (26:45)

I do, yeah.

Zach Peter (26:47)

It's saying she's done that. She's quitting. She doesn't want to come. I mean, maybe that's just the sentiment right now.

Chef Stu (26:53)

I don't know.

Zach Peter (26:56)

Oh, yeah, that's the other thing. Savannah asked the public for help, remember, so. That's right. She asked the public to help. Like this. This was like a Netflix's Don't F with Cats documentary.

Chef Stu (27:07)

Yeah.

Zach Peter (27:07)

They asked for help.

Chef Stu (27:09)

Yeah.

Zach Peter (27:09)

Which, hello, the Internet did great of that. Love. Love you, Zach. Has Annie's car been released? If not, why not? Is it being saved for evidence? I don't know. I don't know what this update on Annie's car is because. Hello? I mean, we're not getting any updates from Sheriff Nana. Nana Nanos. It's crazy. CNN is questioning the cartel guys. The cartel, like, that's just stupid. This was not a cartel. The cartel doesn't break into some random old lady's home and. And snatch her up for what? They don't need the money. They don't need the attention that this has gotten them. Like, what would the cartel want with an old. They're going to use her to smuggle drugs. She has a pacemaker. It's. That's not going to work.

Chef Stu (27:48)

And is that. Has the pacemaker stopped pinging?

Zach Peter (27:52)

It stopped pinging that night that she went missing.

Chef Stu (27:55)

Well, I thought that. No, because then, like a week later, I heard that the doctor's office was still getting a bit of information from us. See this thing?

Zach Peter (28:01)

So, no, they didn't get any new information. It stopped pinging that night.

Chef Stu (28:08)

But it keeps. We talked about this. But it keeps working. But it just stops pinging.

Zach Peter (28:11)

Right? It can keep working after you die, but in this case, we don't know when she actually. If or when she actually died.

Chef Stu (28:22)

I'm just getting mad now.

Zach Peter (28:23)

Well, actually. Well, speaking of. Oops. Speaking of people that are mad, we have this lady. Apparently, I'm in a fight with her right now. Her name is Alma Hernandez, and she's the representative in Arizona. And look at. Look at this. I'm going to read you her statement because her and I shared some words this morning. She said, followers aren't facts. Snap likes aren't credentials. Snap. And your favorite streamer. Having a ring light and a fan club doesn't magically make their takes useful or helpful in our city. That's what she said. Our city. She said social media isn't real life. So now look at her just. Mic drop, sister. It's a highlight reel with wifi. So for those of you who are spiraling because I told you to go home, that's your problem. I said what I said. Your hurt feelings aren't a group project, and your threats or commentary about my appearance and telling me I will be deported are not going to silence me. You go, sister. Loud and proud. This isn't some cute little cage match between legacy media and influencers. Well, you're damn right, because you're not in the legacy or influencer game.

Chef Stu (29:39)

Who is she?

Zach Peter (29:40)

It's she, like, exactly.

Chef Stu (29:41)

Is she, like, exactly from. Like, is she a representative in Congress?

Zach Peter (29:46)

Yes, she's. She's the representative from. From Arizona.

Chef Stu (29:50)

Okay.

Zach Peter (29:50)

Okay. This isn't some cute little cage match. It's not old versus new. It's not cable versus camera phone. It's about truth. It's about facts. And yet, what does she think she's doing a. A monologue in the Barbie movie

Chef Stu (30:06)

from. From what you're hearing on the news and all that kind of stuff, like,

Zach Peter (30:09)

everybody is she said. And yes, it's about having a moral standard when you decide to blast the breaking news out to the world when someone is missing. This is not content. It's not engagement bait. It's not race. It's not a race to be first. Every reckless post and unverified rumor, every dramatic source says fantasy wastes time, diverts attention and strains the very resources that are trying to actually find Ms. Guthrie. If you genuinely want her found, you verify before you amplify. Oof. Look at her with her drop in rhymes. You don't flood timelines with nonsense for clicks. You don't send people chasing ghosts. Accurate? Are we saying that she's a ghost now? Accuracy isn't optional in moments like this. It's the bare minimum. This isn't about platforms. It's about responsibility. You go, sister. Sister. You go, girlfriend. Look at that snap.

Chef Stu (31:07)

I wouldn't. Like I'd read the first line. I'm like. I'm.

Zach Peter (31:09)

Stop.

Chef Stu (31:09)

It's like I'm not even. It's too late.

Zach Peter (31:11)

Oh, wait, it gets better. Because then I decided to chime in. I said, representative, with all due respect, if you want to talk about responsibility, you should take some responsibility for this disastrous investigation. Because she did say my city, right? Streamers are doing nothing that. Nothing that the media hasn't done for decades. Cover the story in real time, like OJ Simpson. What a circus of a media storm that was. But that's just what the media does, right? I said, I fear you're not upset with them, but more upset with the fact that they're exploiting the sheer incompetence of the Pima county sheriff and his efforts. 20 days in and an elderly woman, an elderly 84 year old woman is still missing with no leads, no arrests, and no clear direction of where this case is going. I get it. If I were in your position, I too would probably want people to stop talking about what a disaster all of this is all under your watch. She didn't like that because then she decided to clap back at me and I was like, girlfriend. And then, well, apparently other people. Other people liked it. Where's her wrist? And then she said, oh, with all due respect, maybe do some research before blaming me for how an investigation is being handled. I'm not a city official. I'm not a county official. I don't run the department. She did say, this is my city. I don't run the department, the task force, and I am not a law enforcement agent. Jurisdiction is a thing. Look it up. Oh, she brought out the dictionary. Okay, I've been crystal clear. I think that this. I don't think this has been handled well. And I am not and have not been a supporter of the sheriff, which again, y' all would know if you took some time to. Look, it's really not that hard. I've been crystal clear that my issue is not with the people covering this responsibly, nor with the coverage of Ms. Guthrie. Reporting facts and string up conspiracy theories for likes are two very different hobbies. But it's fascinating, truly, that some of you are more outraged that I call it the nonsense. Yeah, she's a big talker. If accountability feels like an attack, then that's probably something to unpack. But if you're all going. If you're all looking for an apology or me to say thank you to those who are spreading their nonsense, you will not get that. And I said I didn't blame you. I just said your attack on creators is clearly a deflection. Maybe hold the investigative team led by Nanos accountable with that same level of vigor. 20 days and not a single lead. That's embarrassing. You're not the victim here, Alma. Nancy is. Find her. And then she said, yes, you did. You want to talk about she. And we've just been going back and forth, back and forth. Yeah. So we've. We've just been going back and forth. And she's. Listen, she's loving it here. Let's give everybody. Let's give her some attention. Alma Hernandez for Arizona Senate. She wants some followers, so she's out here cloud chasing. So go look at. She's even asking for donations. Give me donations. She wants you to follow Alma for Arizona. I'm not following her back. Sorry. I'm not following her back.

Chef Stu (34:00)

Why would she. Why is she following you if she's mad with you?

Zach Peter (34:03)

She probably likes my content. She was probably. I mean, I feel bad. She was probably, like, you know, enjoying my content, and then here I am calling her out. But what. What I don't like is when people call out content creators and making it seem like we are the problem here. We are not the problem in any of this. And I know her criticism was not directed to me personally, but I just don't like when people call out content creators like that, you know?

Chef Stu (34:24)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Zach Peter (34:25)

It's just. Yeah. Michelle's laughing. You can only donate to her, but not to YouTube journalists. Exactly. She gets mad. She called them out for asking for donations. Like these streamers are asking for donations when she literally has a donation link in her own bio. Don't come for the contest.

Chef Stu (34:42)

And sometimes, like, a lot of the streamers and, like, tick tockers and all that stuff talk about things that are not spoken in the news that need to be spoken in the news, which I really like, you know, I mean, or else we'd never hear about it.

Zach Peter (34:54)

Exactly. I mean, people aren't watching legacy media anymore. So the reason this story has gone viral is because, you know, is because people are talking about it online. Donna says, why do you hate women? Not all women, Donna. Just certain ones. Dude, did you ever. Stu, did you ever get mad at anything?

Chef Stu (35:18)

Oh, yeah. Lots of things you can ask.

Zach Peter (35:24)

Molly's here, too. Oh, yeah.

Chef Stu (35:26)

No. Stu has a little temper sometimes. Yes. Oh, God. It's just. Oh, the Nancy thing is just exhausting to me. And I just, like. I wish there was just more answers than there's not. And I feel like we're all getting on the. The merry go round, like, every day.

Zach Peter (35:43)

We are. Every day. It's another circus every day. What?

Chef Stu (35:47)

Donna? Yes.

Zach Peter (35:48)

What did she say?

Chef Stu (35:49)

She said Jeff. I was like, yeah, exactly.

Zach Peter (35:52)

Oh, yeah. That's your favorite topic.

Chef Stu (35:55)

Oh, yeah.

Zach Peter (35:56)

God.

Chef Stu (35:57)

Love.

Zach Peter (35:59)

Wait, the. They sent me this. Okay, so there was this woman. Her name. Oh, man. Stu, you're gonna die because this was just. It was so. It was so good. I loved this story. Here's some. Some positive, like, good. Good news. How do I pull this on the screen? Okay, this is some good news that we can, like, look at. And. And while we don't have Nancy, what we do have is Annie. So Donna sent me this originally, and she was like, did you see Annie Tisdale went missing? And I said, who's that? Is that Ashley Tisdale's mother? Are we still in the mom. The mom talk feud? And so we found there was this woman, her name was Miss Annie, and she went missing for two days, and they thought it was another Nancy Guthrie. And people are like, oh, my God. Why don't people give attention to, like, the other old ladies that are going missing? And so I wanted to report that they found Ms. Annie. Ms. Annie just ran out of gas, and so she was just chilling in her car for the last two days. Could you imagine? She was just chilling in her car for two days. I was like, wait, what, girl? Did you not think to get out of the car and hitchhike? Someone get a cell phone charge then.

Chef Stu (37:16)

Hub, where's Nancy?

Zach Peter (37:19)

With the Lord. I'm sorry. Nancy is just.

Chef Stu (37:25)

I don't. It's terrible. I shouldn't be laughing. That's awful.

Zach Peter (37:29)

But, God, it is awful. Well, that's why. Here's a good, good story is Miss Annie was found. She was only gone for two days. It was in South Carolina. She was found two days just before her birthday. She ran out of gas and says she was just chilling. Miss Nancy. She was just sitting in her car waiting for them to come find her, and they. But they found her like crazy.

Chef Stu (37:56)

There she is. Of course.

Zach Peter (37:59)

Check Annie's trunk.

Chef Stu (38:00)

Oh, my God. That's so funny.

Zach Peter (38:04)

Poor thing. I'm glad that she's back. I'm glad that they found her. This was her way of getting away from her family.

Chef Stu (38:12)

We've all been there.

Zach Peter (38:13)

She's like, I'm sick of you. Every mom sits in the car, she's like, I'm sick of these kids. I'm sick of these grandbabies. I am done. Zach says, Zach, love what you said yesterday. Agree with what you said. Families not holding press and search party. Yeah, everybody but Stu thinks it's. It's strange, but Stu, I just.

Chef Stu (38:40)

Here's the thing. I feel like they think the whole world is looking at. Like, why do we need to go on, like, press tours? Because, like, I feel like the whole country is looking for my mom. Like, is that overkill? I don't know.

Zach Peter (38:51)

Maybe the FBI. So it's the world's responsibility to find your mom?

Chef Stu (38:55)

Well, it seems that way. If they're not going in the press tour, maybe they don't want.

Zach Peter (39:00)

Exactly.

Chef Stu (39:01)

It's exhausting.

Zach Peter (39:02)

They don't want to talk about finding their mom.

Chef Stu (39:05)

We're 37 minutes in, and we're still talking about this. My God.

Zach Peter (39:09)

Okay, okay, let's move on. Did you see Eric Dane passed away of ALS? He was McSteamy. He was McSteemy.

Chef Stu (39:17)

Yes.

Zach Peter (39:18)

That was sad because he was so hot. He was just on Euphoria, too. Wasn't that the last show he did?

Chef Stu (39:22)

Yes, and he shot season three before he died, so he's gonna be in the new season, I believe.

Zach Peter (39:29)

Oh, that's awful.

Chef Stu (39:31)

So, like, is he in a wheelchair?

Zach Peter (39:32)

Did you ever watch Euphoria?

Chef Stu (39:34)

Yeah, it's good. It's crazy. You know, it gives me anxiety, but it's good.

Zach Peter (39:40)

Speaking of Euphoria, I actually just watched the Housemaid. I watched the Housemaid with Sydney Sweeney. And have you seen it? No.

Chef Stu (39:56)

I like. It's. It's too kind of hard thriller for me. Like, I need to, like, watch it. Like, those kind of movies I need to watch with, like, somebody.

Zach Peter (40:04)

It's so good. It's so good. I read the book a couple weeks ago, and the book was really good. Like, I was hooked on the book. The book was riveting. But. But the. The. What do you call it? The. The movie was just as good. I mean, there's obviously some creative liberties that they take with changing certain things, but the. I bring it up because Sydney Sweeney's in Euphoria, and she's in the house made. And can I say she looks incredible. Like, her body. You see her boobs and everything. Brandon Skinnar. I know what this is, like, a. We don't like anybody that supports Blake Lively, but Brandon Skinnar, he's so hot. So hot. My God. Like, you. You have to put respect on his name. Like, you just. You have to, because he's hot, and you can't. You can't deny that.

Chef Stu (40:56)

Beautiful.

Zach Peter (40:59)

He's a very attractive man. Look at this. I mean, come on, stop. He's just. He's beefy. He's attractive. Like, he's so hot. Like, I'm sorry. You can't tell me that Brandon Skinnar is not a hottie. Here was the. The Internet's latest poll. Who do you think, Glenn Powell or Brandon Sklinar?

Chef Stu (41:23)

I don't get the Glenn Powell.

Zach Peter (41:24)

Thing.

Chef Stu (41:24)

He doesn't have any lips.

Zach Peter (41:27)

So you're full Skinner.

Chef Stu (41:30)

Yeah, I don't get the whole thing.

Zach Peter (41:35)

So you see him naked? You see his ass. Sydney Sweeney's body and her boobs look incredible. Incredible.

Chef Stu (41:45)

Dana.

Zach Peter (41:46)

Donna. Donna's gonna get a. She's testing. She's testing your. Your patience today. She's like you. You've never seen Stu mad. I'll show you Stu mad. Yeah.

Chef Stu (42:00)

Oh, God.

Zach Peter (42:01)

Michelle says if you're gonna. You can't respect Brandon's Glenar, but you can respect his parents, at least for the DNA.

Chef Stu (42:08)

He's so dreamy.

Zach Peter (42:12)

Oh, Isaac says you have bad taste in men, Glenn. Well, we know Stu has bad taste in men. Glen Powell all the way after the house made Brandon made my top five hall pass list. Right. Like you can't deny. I know. Again, I know we're hating on him because he supports Blake Lively, but, you know, we just. You have to put some respect on that ass. It's very much like. What was it? The. What's the one? The.

Chef Stu (42:41)

The ends with us.

Zach Peter (42:43)

No, he arrived there, but yeah, the butts and heated rivalry are crazy. That crazy. Okay, let's see that. And Sydney Sweeney, her boobs and everything looks insane. Okay, Traders, let's talk Traders. Did you watch this week's episode of Z Traitors? I did.

Chef Stu (43:09)

I just finished it this morning.

Zach Peter (43:11)

Thoughts?

Chef Stu (43:12)

Okay, answer me this question.

Zach Peter (43:14)

Spoilers ahead, guys. Spoilers ahead. We're just gonna get right into it. Spoilers at.

Chef Stu (43:17)

I'm confused with the situation, what it is now, and we'll go back and we'll talk about it.

Zach Peter (43:21)

But what?

Chef Stu (43:24)

So since they're going to murder one more person, they're going to get into the coffin, wherever that is.

Zach Peter (43:28)

Right. But like.

Chef Stu (43:31)

But do the traitors win now?

Zach Peter (43:35)

What do you mean? Like how?

Chef Stu (43:36)

Like, there's no more votes off or roundtables or anything like that. Right?

Zach Peter (43:41)

There's no more roundtables. But there's the final banishment.

Chef Stu (43:44)

What's the final banishment?

Zach Peter (43:46)

So the final is where they all come together. I think there's one more challenge, and then they all.

Chef Stu (43:52)

Okay. Yes.

Zach Peter (43:53)

Yeah. So. So they all have to line up and they have two colors, green or red. So if they throw the green fire in, then they agree that they want to end the game. And if they throw the red fire in, then that means they believe that there's still a traitor in the group.

Chef Stu (44:15)

Oh, okay.

Zach Peter (44:17)

And so it has to be a unanimous vote where everybody does green, and if nobody else does green, then they keep trying to eliminate Somebody.

Chef Stu (44:27)

Okay, so obviously they're. Obviously they're. They're not. They know that there's traders amongst them still, right?

Zach Peter (44:35)

Correct. So in that final. Yeah. So in the final fire is where they have to try and get out who they believe is the last trader.

Chef Stu (44:44)

Okay, but then. Okay, so then do they do elimination again, then?

Zach Peter (44:48)

And no. Yeah, that's the final. So they have to decide then and there who they think the trainer.

Chef Stu (44:56)

Okay. So I said to make it very clear for me, they're all gonna vote. Hey, guys, there's still traders amongst us. Okay, great. Let's write names down and get rid of the next person, whoever that is. And then you do. And then you cut one person. One person goes. Then you'll do it again or something. Until you get. Until you find the traders or you may not find the traders. And then they. Yeah. Do they know that there's two traders or did you only think there's one still?

Zach Peter (45:22)

They don't know. So they may only think there's one left. And there are two. It says unlike regular episodes, the final banishment often occurs at the fire pit. Players vote to either banish again or end the game. If a single person votes banish again, the game continues. Typically, if a traitor is banished in the final four, the game does not allow for a new recruitment, leaving the remaining players to decide if they trust each other. So that's what we saw in season two with Chris Shell and CT and mj. And remember, they ended up banishing MJ together. Yeah, that poor thing. That sucked. That was mean. But that was hilarious. So they have to keep going until eventually they get out all the traitors. I think the traitors are going to win.

Chef Stu (46:11)

I mean, I think so too.

Zach Peter (46:13)

I think the trader. I mean, there's no way the traders, like, you know, nobody's.

Chef Stu (46:17)

It would be fucked up, though, if Rob gets banished and then the other one wins. What's his name? The Asian guy?

Zach Peter (46:25)

Oh, Eric.

Chef Stu (46:26)

Yeah, like, Eric. Just like the worst game player ever. Said nothing all season and then he wins.

Zach Peter (46:30)

Like, would you imagine that would be so wrong? I would be so mad.

Chef Stu (46:35)

Yeah.

Zach Peter (46:35)

I think Rob will turn on Eric and Rob will. He's going to turn on Eric. Because here's the thing. They don't know that there are two traders left in the game. So they're just going to assume now that they've gotten to. That there's likely only one. Maybe two, but likely only one. I guess. No. Every season usually brings. Someone always gets recruited by the end of it. So I kind of feel like they have to know that there's a fourth trader. So there are two amongst them. The crazy part is going to be who is the. Like, the traders won the game. Like, they're not going to get both of them. They're just.

Chef Stu (47:12)

I don't think they are.

Zach Peter (47:14)

And at this point, the traders deserve to win. Like, the faithful deserve to lose because they played such a bad game. Especially after last season. Like, the faithful were so boring and the traders were so bad that it was just like I did not like last season at all.

Chef Stu (47:31)

Yeah. I mean, and then the reunion. Then it's like next week as well.

Zach Peter (47:37)

After. Wait, so who do you think? Okay, so this week we had. Who got killed last week was Dorinda. Oh, it was Kristen, the Asian girl, the chef. She got murdered by the traders. And then the banishment was of Natalie. That was a fucked up banishment because the way Tara convinced Natalie that Rob was the traitor. And then at the table, she's like, I. I don't think it's Rob. I was like, that was up because Tara is the one that planted that. See? And she was right. She was on the money. She was right. And then she completely backstabbed Natalie in the end. Only for Natalie to be a faithful. I'm like, you guys are so stupid. Like, this is the one time Tara actually did something right and was smart. And then she backpedaled on it. But I think she backpedaled because Johnny convinced her that, like, maybe we shouldn't go after Rob tonight.

Chef Stu (48:32)

It's so hard because so many people say different things and you have to like. And then you kind of. Then she's. She's backpedaling. She doesn't want Rob to know that she was talking about him. And that's like, oh, now he. Now she has like a, you know, an hour on her back.

Zach Peter (48:46)

Yeah, I just don't know. Like, it was the. The smartest, like, a thing to put those piece. Like, Candace gave it to them on a silver platter. She voted for Rob twice. The throwaway. Throwaway, as Mara says,

Chef Stu (49:04)

that makes.

Zach Peter (49:06)

Are you a try? Are you a try?

Chef Stu (49:10)

What?

Zach Peter (49:10)

The troll. I vote.

Chef Stu (49:12)

It's just like. Yeah, no, I only.

Zach Peter (49:15)

Wait, what did Johnny say?

Chef Stu (49:17)

I think.

Zach Peter (49:21)

What about what Johnny say? What did Johnny say? Lynn? But like, the Troy vote was. She did it twice. Candace first did the Troy vote and then she did the correct vote the next night, also gunning for Rob. And the thing is, she did the Troy vote after Lisa Rinna, who's a traitor, got kicked Out. So if you really think about it, Candace would be pissed if a traitor turned on Lisa. So who would she be pissed at? She would be pissed at Rob. And then the next night, you come back and she votes for Rob again. Yeah. That kind of sounds like there was some traitor on traitor fighting right there. And these faithful are so stupid. They don't see it.

Chef Stu (50:00)

No, no, it's. And because I think it could have been Rob last night, and Maura saved his ass.

Zach Peter (50:12)

She did.

Chef Stu (50:13)

She changed everybody's mind and stuff like that. And then kind of went for Natalie, and then it kind of, like, shifted slightly, and then Rob was just, like, staying quiet, like, hoping to God.

Zach Peter (50:21)

Yeah. And he had the dagger. He used the dagger. Yeah. I'm glad that Natalie kind of had

Chef Stu (50:28)

to use it, didn't. He was the last one.

Zach Peter (50:30)

This was the last chance he had to use it. And at this point, he had to. I mean, Natalie was obviously gonna go home. It was just so fucked up that Tara completely through Natalie. Like, that's why when Tara cried at the end, like, I got it, you know, and then they're all hugging her. They're like, no, it's just a game. It's just. She's like, but I feel so bad. But it's because, you know, she felt guilty.

Chef Stu (50:50)

Then she was like, look, just. Just murder me. Like, I just want to go home. Like, I'm shit at this game.

Zach Peter (50:55)

Glenn said, where's Nancy? With the Lord, my love. Johnny said he believes it was Rob and Eric. Oh, yes. He said them together. I didn't catch them together.

Chef Stu (51:10)

Yes, he did.

Zach Peter (51:11)

At the end. Or at the beginning.

Chef Stu (51:13)

I think kind of towards the end, maybe he did.

Zach Peter (51:15)

Maybe he did say it, and I just don't remember. Like, I. I caught it, and I just let it slip. But, yeah, I mean, hello, I'm. Tara and Johnny are actually the only smart ones in the game, but they've been duped so many times, but now they're actually, like, putting the pieces together when they put their brains together and they're, like, working as a team that,

Chef Stu (51:35)

like, it would be incredible. I don't think it's going to happen, but it would be incredible if the Faithfuls won, if they were able to figure that out and get rid of.

Zach Peter (51:42)

Wait. If the Faithfuls won and it was Johnny and Tara, I would root for that faithful.

Chef Stu (51:51)

I would love that.

Zach Peter (51:53)

If they make. Well, we have to see. One of them has to survive the next murder, the final murder from the traitors. Who do you think it's going to. I Think maybe it's Maura.

Chef Stu (52:03)

But then again, they kept putting the camera on her, but she kept holding.

Zach Peter (52:07)

They were making it kind of the only one talking.

Chef Stu (52:09)

She's like, oh, it's me, it's me. It's definitely me. Like, you know,

Zach Peter (52:15)

because I can see a repeat of season two where it was CT and Trishell, and in this case it would be Johnny and Tara, and they're just like, listen, we're gonna keep voting until we're the final two standing.

Chef Stu (52:29)

Yeah. Maybe because they just want to win it together, like. Yeah, for sure.

Zach Peter (52:35)

How did that. I forget how that happens.

Chef Stu (52:37)

I guess it is a good season, though.

Zach Peter (52:40)

Like, it's a very good season. This is a great cast. A good season.

Chef Stu (52:44)

Yes.

Zach Peter (52:45)

Good. I'm happy with it for sure. Yeah. All right. Any other. Anything else?

Chef Stu (52:56)

Anything else? I guess. I guess if anybody wants to come to Ireland with me.

Zach Peter (53:01)

Come to Ireland.

Chef Stu (53:03)

We're doing a trip in September, Eight days in Ireland, and Chef Stew's going along with you. Tickets go on sale or the sale goes on next Thursday. So DM me if you want any information or I'll send you the link. Oh, yeah. Thanks, Zach. This company is called trovatrip, and they do these influencer trips and.

And you arrive in Dublin and we'll do a pub crawl in Dublin, and then you're going to do a birthday crawl with me because it's my birthday while I'm there too, with you. And I will do that in.

You know what's great? It's like, there's a lot of places on that trip that I've not been to.

Zach Peter (54:20)

Yeah.

Chef Stu (54:20)

So. Which is cool.

Zach Peter (54:21)

Yeah. So, all right. That's it. Ireland would. Chef Stew.

Chef Stu (54:26)

I'm trying to think. Anything else Going on anything kind of fun or anything kind of weird?

Zach Peter (54:32)

No.

Chef Stu (54:32)

And they. They still. They still have never responded to any of my emails. So I email the car company, the car dealership in Minneapolis, Indianapolis. Crazy, right?

Zach Peter (54:45)

So what, so that's it? You just have a up car?

Chef Stu (54:48)

No, no, the car's fixed. I paid for it, so I think

Zach Peter (54:51)

it had to be.

Chef Stu (54:51)

I mean, Landover was very good. They did discount it for me, which was great. They did. It was really, really sweet of them. And they didn't have to do that because that's not their responsibility. But it was very, very good. Yeah. So, yeah, it was great. No, all good. The car is perfect now and loving it so much. And it's fun. I have to take you for a ride now. We have to go for a ride.
