Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Wedding Recap & Drama

Leaked Details and Documentary Rumors

• The Swift-Kelce wedding was allegedly filmed, possibly for a documentary or for guests. Zack questions the logic:

  “If I go to somebody’s wedding, the last thing I want is, like, a video of the wedding... That doesn’t make any sense to me.” (04:35)

• Speculation that the footage might be released on Disney+, similar to Swift's past concert docs.

Guest List, Beef, and The Lesbian Rumors

• High-profile attendees: Mariska Hargitay, Eric Stonestreet (“A lot of people were there. People are shocked that Miles Teller wasn’t at the wedding.” (05:53))
• Zack details the drama about Carly Kloss attending over Blake Lively—Carly is labeled a “Judas” by Swifties due to her ties with Scooter Braun, but “Taylor was able to squash the beef and move forward.”
• Odd fact: Taylor Swift’s cat is named “Olivia Benson” after Hargitay’s SVU character.
• Zack jokes about invitees possibly being from Travis Kelce’s list and not just Taylor’s.

The Wedding Speech “Disaster”: Lena Dunham

• Lena Dunham gave a raucous, NSFW speech:

  “American football is just like straight guys reenacting gay porn.” (08:09)

• Zack reacts:

  “Oh, my goodness. My pearls.”

• Concludes, “Of all the jokes she could have made, I wasn’t that shocked.”

More Wedding Gossip

• CEO of AMC (Adam Aron) “spilled the tea” in a since-deleted post:
  • Madison Square Garden converted into a lush, “secret garden” theme with 1,000+ guests.
  • Wedding officiated by Adam Sandler, though Aron calls him only “the officiant.” (*25:20+)
  • Decor details and the emotional, personal vows:

    “What was clear above all was simply this. Their profound love. This is no small love… Each obviously head over heels…” (28:06)

  • $26 million was donated to “broad-based charities” the weekend of the wedding.

Blake Lively’s Exclusion & Fallout

• Zack gleefully notes the significance of Lively’s absence, tying it back to failed legal claims and celebrity “mean girl” drama involving Taylor, Ryan Reynolds, and others:

  “Taylor Swift was a mean girl, and that was exposed… Along with Ryan Reynolds, who I think is also a mean girl.” (30:41)

• Details the defamation suit between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni—Zack sides against Blake, saying Taylor cut her off when things escalated.

---

2. Listener/Chat Interactions and Meta-Moments

Zack’s Own Online Drama

• Listeners tip off Zack about criticism from "The Dad Challenge Podcast."
• He plays a snippet live, providing both context and his take:
  • The Dad Challenge criticized Zack’s nuanced stance on airing controversial reality stars:

    “Zack seems like a nice guy, but if you’re out there enabling this [abusers]… you wouldn’t say that if it was a man.” (18:02)

  • Zack’s response:

    “We’ve seen bad people on television before. I don’t watch my reality stars to be upstanding citizens.” (18:28)
    “My whole point was, already filmed, already been produced… might as well just watch it.”

  • Acknowledges double standards in reality casting: “Show everyone’s bad behavior.”
• Community engagement: friendly banter over “viral” wedding videos and fan milestones (congrats to Amy on a new apartment, 15:28).

3. “Watch or Skip?” – ‘Elle’ on Amazon Prime

• Quick review of the “Legally Blonde” prequel:

  “It’s actually really good. It’s a lot better than I was expecting… a fun weekend binge.” (38:04)

• Noted for being less fluffy than expected, enjoyable for summer binging but not “appointment TV.”

---

4. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Arrest Scandal

• Marcellus Wiley (husband of ex-RHOBH’s Anna Marie Wiley) arrested in Florida for domestic battery and threats toward Anna Marie.
• Anna Marie claims ongoing unreported abuse; Marcellus faces additional historical sexual assault allegations from multiple women (including minors groomed into adulthood).
• Zack sums up:

  “It’s not looking too good for them, but we’ll see what happens. Crazy, crazy, crazy…” (47:06)

• Chat reflects on the complexities of defending abusers and the disturbing court details.

---

5. World Cup 2026: USA, Belgium, and the Balogun Suspension Drama

• Setup: Canada and Mexico (co-hosts) already out; US team entering final 16.
• The focus: Folarin Balogun (star striker) received a red card (i.e., suspension).
• Allegedly, Donald Trump intervened, contacting FIFA and getting the suspension overturned (“Daddy Trump made the phone call and he said, hold up, wait a minute, you gotta let this man play.” (48:26)
• Belgium challenges the decision, but FIFA denies their appeal (“They don’t even have a skin in this game…” (56:19)).
• Zack’s comedic, self-aware soccer commentary—“fake it till you make it” (57:19), drawing 12,000+ live viewers.

Memorable Sports Commentary:

• “Balogun got red carded and then he got unread carded… but he’s allowed to play.”
• “Men say women are dramatic… that other player was dramatic. That’s how the soccer players are.”

Live Commentary from Recent Matches:

• Includes play-by-play reactions to Mexico vs. England (“England came to play… All that Mexico had, they were playing around the coochie the whole time. All they had to do was hit the damn G spot.” (59:41))
• Zack switches allegiances mid-commentary—“I’m switching teams; I’m rooting for England… No, I’m back, Mexico.”

Notable Quotes & Moments

• On Lena Dunham’s Speech:

  “Lena Dunham joked… American football is just like straight guys reenacting gay porn.” (08:10)

• On Taylor Swift’s Wedding Guest List & Exclusions:

  “People are shocked that Miles Teller wasn’t at the wedding… I was very happy to know that Blake Lively wasn’t there.” (05:53+ 29:10)

• On Blake Lively’s Legal Loss:

  “She blew up her entire life… despite how many red carpets she walks, the fact that she wasn’t at Taylor Swift’s wedding that fed 1,000 people—crazy!” (29:53)

• On RHOBH Scandal:

  “How would you feel if your husband ranked you an eight and a half on a scale of one to ten? Like, that to me is crazy.” (39:33)

Overall Tone & Takeaways

• Tone: Irreverent, rapid-fire, unfiltered, with plenty of humor and “inside baseball” on reality TV and sports. Zack’s signature blend of pop culture knowledge, snarky takes, and openness about his own “outsider” status (in sports particularly) makes for a dynamic, relatable listen—even for non-fans.
• Takeaways:
  • Taylor Swift’s wedding was the epicenter of celebrity intrigue, both for its high-wattage drama (a Lena Dunham joke, missing guests like Blake Lively) and the spectacle itself (1,000 attendees, Adam Sandler officiating).
  • The Real Housewives’ world continues to be intertwined with real legal danger—with Marcellus Wiley’s arrest and old allegations resurfacing.
  • Sports drama can be as juicy (and, in Zack’s hands, as ridiculous and entertaining) as any reality TV feud—as illustrated by the Balogun saga and Zack’s “fake it till you make it” enthusiasm for the World Cup.

Company and affiliates, Taylor Swift's wedding. The details have been leaked. We got all the tea on what went down, plus the wedding guest that ruined the speeches. We've got a new Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Arrest. Say what? And plus, you know, I gotta give you all the World cup tea. So we're gonna get into that as well. I hope you're ready for it. Let's dive in. 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. Let's dive in and dive in we shall. Welcome on in everybody in the club. I hope you guys are having a great day. Hope you guys are enjoying your Monday. Fresh off of the what is this? The fresh off of the holiday weekend we had Fourth of July. Did you guys light some fireworks? Did you get lit like a firework, baby? Well, hopefully you did. I love you guys and I'm so excited to have you here today on the 5th of July. Lots to dive into. Taylor Swift. We have all the tea on the wedding. It has been quite the adventure with this Taylor Swift wedding. Am I right? I know I'm right. You know I'm right. All right, let's see. Where should we begin? So few rumors that have come out from the T. Swift wedding number one is that it was filmed and that there's apparently a documentary that's gonna be produced about it. So there's nothing certain about whether or not there is a doc, a forthcoming documentary or not. I don't know. It kind of seems like maybe they're doing something. There's also a report that I Guess they filmed everything and they're gonna edit it to give it to all of their wedding guests as, like, a gift. One sounds like it may be leaked, number one. Number two, why, like, do we really care to get the Taylor Swift wedding video? Like, if. I mean, I guess, like, sure, it would be cool, but, like, if I go to somebody's wedding, the last thing I want is, like, a video of the wedding. Like, I went to the wedding already. Why would I want you to send me the video? So that I can rewatch it. That doesn't make any sense to me. But whatever. I guess it was filmed. It will be produced into something I would imagine. I don't know. Is that tacky? I mean, I guess at this point, like, we already had it at Madison Square Garden. We had a thousand guests at the wedding. So is it tacky to release it on, like, Disney plus, like, she did her. What was it?

[Lauren and Chandler (Pop Apologist podcast hosts)]

The.

[Zack Peter]

It was the Heiress tour. Right. She did, like, a docu series, and she released the full Heiress tour, like, concert. I don't know. I really don't know. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Oh, Elizabeth. Yes. We have the Tyler Robinson trial. That is start. Do you guys want me to cover that? I know it began. I saw that the Kirk family and Erica Kirk issued a statement of, like, saying that they respect the judicial system and they are not going to be commenting any further until there is a verdict. I guess that gets reached. I don't know. Let me know if you guys even care about the Tyler Robinson trial. I kind of like covering trials. I feel like maybe this one might be one we may consider. I just also know there are, like, political themes to it, and I want people to get all, like, triggered and. Oh, so let me know. But when it comes to Taylor Swift and Travis's wedding, it was recorded. We'll see what they do with that footage. Number of guests were there. Mariska Hargitay, Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family. He was Cam L. Or I almost said Elle Woods, Reese Witherspoon, Carly Clouse, who I guess Taylor was, like, rumored to have been a lesbian with. I don't know. What if the room. If the lesbian rumors are true, but the lesbian rumors are saying that it's there. So people were shocked that Carly was there over Blake Lively because they're every. The Swifties are calling Carly a Judas because I guess there was some sort of relationship that she kept up or some connection that she kept up with Scooter Braun. And obviously Taylor had her fallout with Scooter Braun. But whatever the issue was, whatever the beef was, Taylor was able to squash the beef and move forward because now we're moving. Were turning the page and now Carly was invited to the wedding. So a lot of people were there. People are shocked that Miles Teller wasn't at the wedding. Yeah, I don't know. There's a lot. A lot going on with that wedding and a lot of very interesting. Apparently I learned that I guess Taylor Swift named her pussy after Marisha Hargitay. Her cat's name is Olivia Benson. So. And apparently they're friends. I was like, what does like. Is Taylor just a big fan of a law and Order svu? I didn't know all the. The Taylor history. I'm not a big Swift fan, so I don't know all the intricate details of all of her friends. Apparently Eric Stonestre is a big Chiefs fan. And so people are assuming that Eric was a. An invite of Travis Kelce, not Taylor Swift, because we have to remember there was another person at this wedding. It wasn't just Taylor Swift marrying herself. She's getting married to Travis Kelce. So I guess he's allowed to, like, invite people to the wedding too. So whatever. Maybe he wanted to invite Carly Clouse. Maybe it wasn't even on Taylor's list. But it was on Travis's list. Wouldn't that be funny? But the biggest wedding. Well, sorry, I didn't mean to say that, but you'll get the joke in a second. The biggest wedding guest that made the biggest ruckus was none other than Lena Dunham. And so obviously I didn't mean to say the biggest wedding guest, but it just came to mind when I was thinking of Lena Dunham. But she made the biggest ruckus at the wedding because I guess she made a really crass joke during her wedding speech, which. Interesting. So it was a not safe for work joke. And so according to the Daily Mail, Lena Dunham, who I guess gave a speech in honor of Mr. Oh, who wrote this, this. This note. It says in to honor Mr. And Mrs. Swift, which is hilarious because they're saying that Travis is now Mr. Swift, even though he's not Travis Swift. He's Travis. Kelsey. So is Taylor now Taylor? Kelsey? Is she Taylor Swift? Kelsey? Is that a thing? Yeah. Ed Sheeran was at the wedding as well. He wore his finest sneakers. But anyway, according to the Daily Mail, Lena Dunham joked and she made this joke that I guess, like, sent shockwaves through the room. And the joke was that American football is Just like straight guys reenacting gay porn.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Wow.

[Zack Peter]

Oh, my goodness. My pearls. Deanna says, shocking that Lena Dunham would say something inappropriate. Yeah, that's kind of Lena. You know, that's kind of Lena. So I'm not really shocked. I don't know. But I don't think the joke was that offensive. I would imagine how maybe, like, Donna Kelsey was like, oh, my goodness. Which, by the way, we never got an update on Donna Kelsey's renovations, and I'm kind of offended. Can somebody at TMZ give us an update on what went down with Donna Kelsey's renovations to her home? How are the windows? How is the paneling? Does she get another new door put in? I have questions. I need updates. Tmz, get on it. But shocking that Lena Dunham has officially pissed or not pissed off, but she. She got some panties in a bunch at the wedding. Kind of seems like Lena Dunham. And of all of the. Of all of the jokes that she could have made or all the things that could have been said, I wasn't that shocked. Marisha Hargitay was in the Bad Blood music video. Yes, Elsie, I heard that as well, because Marisha got bad blood. Mad love. Jazzy Wizzy says I'm behind. But, Zach, did you see that? The dad Challenge podcast? He mentioned you. I don't think it was nice, but it wasn't too bad. What somebody else. You know, sometimes I don't need to know when people don't say nice things about me on their podcast and on their. Trust me enough people make enough content about me. I'm glad that I can. I can continue to push engagement for other people's content because they tend to use me a lot for their content. They tend to do their Dunk videos, their Dunkaroo videos. What did they say? I've never even heard of the dad Challenge. The dad Challenge? I didn't even know that was a podcast. What is the dad Challenge podcast? Oh, with Joshua Barber. Oh, wait. I actually really like him. He's very funny. Does he not like me? Oh, man. I actually enjoy his videos. What did he say about me? Joshua Barbour? Yeah, he's. He does like the funny, like, reenactments and stuff. What did he say about me? Anything? Probably not something nice. It's usually not something nice, but that's okay. Well, can we fact check that and see what. What they said about me? Oh, he was talking about Taylor, Frankie, Paul. Oh, but what about Taylor, Frankie, Paul? What did he say about Taylor, Frankie? Pa. Is he, like, pro Taylor and he's like mad at me because I was like, she should be held accountable for her actions. Question. Right. You know, I like, I kind of like people to be held accountable for their actions. It wasn't nice, but not too bad.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Yeah.

[Zack Peter]

Now I need to know what they said. I need a clip. I need a sound. A sound bite. Okay. That is the message of the Zach pack is to do is to listen to the podcast and give me a timestamp or maybe a recording of what was actually said. This took a bummer turn. Deanna said, no, it's fine. Well, what kind did you expect it to take a nice turn when we brought up Lena Dunham.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

You know what?

[Zack Peter]

I think I maybe am giving Lena Dunham too harsh of a time. I actually, I think I should probably cut Dina or, sorry, cut Lena a little bit of slack.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Okay.

[Zack Peter]

Let's pull it up so we can watch together. Let's see the shade. I'm nervous. I'm nervous too, but I have a feeling it's not that bad.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Let's watch.

[Hotel/Travel Advertiser]

We've got to look at this. This comes from what's his name? Just plain Zach.

[Zack Peter]

Look at this. Season of the Bachelorette may be coming

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

to ABC after all. And it could be here as soon as mid July. According to tmz, ABC is actually gearing up for a mid summer premiere and they're doing audience testing right now to

[Zack Peter]

see how people feel about Taylor.

[Hotel/Travel Advertiser]

We all know how everybody feels about. Except for her White nighters, who are assholes. And we're gonna see a bunch of

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

those in the the second Frankie Paul.

[Zack Peter]

And apparently they never stopped editing or

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

cutting episodes of the upcoming season. I assume most of the edits were probably already done.

[Zack Peter]

So I would imagine all of the edits, for the most part, for each of the episodes up to the finale, have already been cut in our final. But I don't know. Do you care to see Taylor?

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

I. No, I kind of want to see it like at this.

[Zack Peter]

No.

[Hotel/Travel Advertiser]

Don't enable this behavior. If you. If you're out there and I don't know, Zach seems like a nice guy, but if you're out there enabling this. You're enabling abusive behavior. Now, if it was a man who abused a woman, would you be like, let's air his episode? Would you say that? I just want to know if you'd say it because you wouldn't say it. And he shouldn't have his aired either. Anybody is an abusive person towards someone else, then we should forget about them. They should not be rewarded. I don't understand this culture of rewarding women who are abusers.

[Zack Peter]

I don't think we. Okay, so thank you. That was probably the most what he said. I don't think that we should reward abusers, but I think people that are compelling television are compelling television. And we've seen bad people on television before. I don't watch my reality stars to be upstanding citizens.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

I agree.

[Zack Peter]

We shouldn't reward people for their bad behavior. However, ABC had already rewarded Taylor. They had already filmed the season. This was already something that was produced and mass like, promoted and ready to be put out there. So my whole point was, at this point, just released the damn footage. She's already been paid for it. We already know that the reports have claimed that she already received her full payment for this for this season of the Bachelorette. So my whole point was already been filmed, already been produced, already been edited. All the masters for each of the episodes are already done. Taylor's already been paid that at this point. Might as well just watch it, because now I'm curious to see what it brings. I'm just curious to see, like, what. What the season actually put together, but actually whether to me, I don't do the man versus woman thing. You know, I like to call out those double standards as well. Just to respond to the dad Pod. The dad challenge podcast. Yeah, Actually, I would still say the same thing if it was a man or a woman. And if he actually was familiar with any of my content, he would know how hard I went in on Taylor Frankie Paul, and have continued to go in on Taylor Frankie Paul. Okay, Robin says it's already done. We might as well see it just like Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Morocco. Exactly my point. Already done. Taylor's already been paid for it. They've already rewarded her. They already did a whole campaign before they decided to pull the season. They put her on the red carpet at the Oscars. They gave her the season to begin with, all. Well, knowing her history, she's already been rewarded. She got her award. Now at least reward us so that we could at least see the element of television that we didn't get to see RN Explores that. Zach would want to see it, even if it was a man against a woman. Show everyone's bad behavior. Yeah. I mean, listen. But not. Not too shabby. I've heard worse about me. Ms. Kayla says that wasn't too bad. He had a strong opinion, just like Zach. Strong opinions.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Yeah.

[Zack Peter]

I don't think it was that bad. Amy says thank you in the Zach pack. Thank you for the super chat, Amy. We love you. We love you, Amy. Best of luck on this new chapter, my dear. So, yeah, okay. Taylor Swift's wedding. Sorry. So the CEO of AMC decided to spill all of the tea. He didn't even. He wasn't holding anything back. He was like, let me just give it to you straight. And I was kind of like, you know what, Adam? Aaron. I ain't mad at that. Adam. Aaron. He decided he was gonna give us the full Taylor about what went down at Taylor Swift's wedding, and I guess he was like, NDA. What? It seems like he may have taken it down since then, because if you go on back onto his. His feed, it looks like he doesn't have this post anymore. He has a post from July 1 and then a post from July 4, but nothing from July 3, which is when he posted this lengthy message about Taylor Swift's wedding. So it looks like T. Swift may have gotten mad at him or been like, nuh, Adam, you weren't supposed to say any thing. Adam says it was such a privilege to be there, having been in Taylor Swift's orbit since AMC first took her ERAS tour to movie theaters globally in 2023, and with AMC's headquarters ironically located. Wait, what? How did he first take the Heiress tour to movie theaters globally in 2023 when the heiress tour wasn't around in 2023, the eras tour was 2024, and it came out in theaters. I think that's a typo. I think he meant to say 2025 because that's when it came out in theaters. Am I tripping? I'm not tripping. Right. That this number is right is off because Taylor didn't do. Yeah, her eras tour wasn't in 2023. Wasn't it all of 2024? I don't remember there being. I think if there are any Swifties in the live chat, please stand up. I think he meant to say 2025 because it was last fall when Life of a show. Oh, no. Life of a Showgirl. That was what happened in theaters. She didn't release ERAS in theater. Maybe there was something for eras that came into theaters in 2023. It was the life of a showgirl. Remember where she brought everybody to the theater to like do the viewing party for Life of a Showgirl? Interesting. So maybe, okay, maybe he is right. Anyway, he said with AMC's headquarters. AMC's headquarters located in Kansas City, the home of the chiefs. I saw early on that true romance was at hand. Tonight, a new era in that Roman history commenced. It did not look like Madison Square Garden immediately upon entry. Everything, floors, wall, ceiling was draped in peach and white. Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year, from one year old to late teenagehood, were on display. He's just spilling all the tea. He's giving us the full decor. A small portion of Madison Square Garden was cordoned off, Devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space. Somehow, magically, everyone, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off, this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think artificial trees welcomed 15 rows of maybe 75 or so chairs. Damn, 75 rows of chairs. They also, they say There were around 1,000 attendees, but surprisingly it felt intimate and small. Everything was close. After some relaxing and mellow romantic songs played to settle the house, a few violins and cello ushered in the wedding party. So there was a wedding party headlined by handsome Travis in a white tux and a. And jaw dropping Taylor in a stunning white dress with a long veiled train. He's giving all the tea. An officiant talked and sang and talked some. That's who we now know of to be as Adam Sandler because he was the one that married them. He said an officiate talked and sang and talked. Sounds like Adam Sandler was all the way out there doing the Most. Elle says 75 rows of chairs and Blake Lively was not given a chair. They fat. They fed a thousand people at that wedding. And Blake Lively had to eat her own crow piece. Zach, can you confirm or deny the rumor that Wes cheated on Amanda? Curious minds wanted to. I can't confirm or deny it because we don't know if it's true or not. But that's Wes Wilson and Amanda Petula from Summer House. There is a rumor going around that he cheated on Amanda. I don't know if it's true. I don't know. Why didn't Benny Blanco go? Well, obviously Benny Blanco didn't go because there weren't enough seats in the house. You know, it was the. It was overbooked. Kidding. I don't know why Benny. Do we know for sure that Benny Blanco didn't go? Maybe Taylor was like, actually, you have to wear shoes and you have to clean your feet. And he was just like, well, damn, I guess I can't go. And then Selena's like, stay home and wash your feet. And he was like, nah. Who knows? I love the gossipy AMC man, right? He's just like, let me give me all. Let me give you all the tea. And he didn't even wait like a full 24 hours. Like, it was literally right afterwards.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Words.

[Zack Peter]

Okay. An efficient Adam Sandler talked and sang and talked. He was warm and welcoming, funny and eloquent. I love that. He clearly doesn't know who Adam Sandler is. Otherwise he would say, Adam Sandler talked and sang and talked. He was warm and welcoming, funny and eloquent. Clearly he has no. I don't know how. You're the CEO of AMC and yet you don't know who Adam Sandler is. That's crazy. Oh, someone says Benny Blanco was there.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Why are you guys giving me bad

[Zack Peter]

tea in the live chat? Benny Blanco was there. Oh, okay. He sees he cleaned his feet for the night. Let that man be. Okay, then the AMC dude says. Then the vows. Long, entertaining, personal, charming, emotional, irreverent and endearing explorations by each as to how they met, why they want to be with each other for all of eternity. The promises they made in joining their much beloved two whole families, the Kelsey's and the Swifts, as one, and committing to their new mutual life together. What was clear above all was simply this. Their profound love. Oh. Apparently Benny Blanco was not at the dinner, the. The rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. But he was at the actual wedding. Okay, there you go. He says what was clear above all was simply this. Their profound love. This is no small love. Each at the absolute pinnacle of their words. Each obviously head over heels about having found their soulmate. Rings exchanged. I now pronounce you husband and wife. A sweep you off your feet, kiss. Then the party. An even larger stage set of a secret garden that was just exquisite. See, I didn't I say Secret Garden was going to be the theme on Friday? I was like, I would imagine. Or what did I say? I said Garden Meadows. I said something, but I was thinking in my mind, Secret Garden style is what I. You know, I guess the after party was the Secret Garden themed. He says this was just exquisite. With five story tall lit trees, superb food and drinks, and an A list audience to feed the young Couple the music and music, music, music. This wedding was not inexpensive. But their enormous credit. But to their enormous credit, Taylor And Travis donated $26 million this very weekend to broad based charities. I love. They said broad based charities. Nothing specific, nothing controversial. To broad based charities sharing their joy by helping in a superstar way. Those are truly. To those who are truly in need. I wish you all could have been there with me to witness real, pure, true joy in a world that is troubled with war and conflict, problems and polarization. Tonight was the night where one story shined brightly. That love conquers all.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Wow,

[Zack Peter]

Zach, you're viral. With the wedding videos roasting our girl Blake. Am I? I mean, I stand on business. What does that mean? I'm viral. I never really understand what that means. I try to have my Molly, my friend Molly dare explain it to me. I guess me and Donna, I was like, what is. What does viral mean? Like, what is. So, Isaac, I want to know what you consider viral. Fifi says, a secret garden traditionally was a witch's garden of her magic herbs and spices. Ah, interesting. Josh says, what is love? Tomi says, you know, it had to be bad if they had to give that much to charity. Yeah, you know, they spent some ridiculous amount of money. But it sounds like despite Lena Dunham and her crass wedding speech or. I mean, I didn't even think the joke was that bad, to be honest with you. I don't think the. The joke was that bad. And honestly, that was the worst that we heard about it. Nobody talked about how the chicken was. Was dry or, you know, the crab legs were. Were not very flavorful. Like, nothing. I'm sure the caviar was delicious. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed this wedding. The only disaster was Lena Dunham. And I don't even think her speech was that bad. I thought the joke about the gay porn was actually not. So, you know, good for them. Good for them. I was just so happy. I was very, very happy to know that Blake Lively wasn't there. Like, despite losing epically in court. Right. Because her case was just completely decimated. I mean, obviously Beldoni's defamation case did not prevail. But remember, it did not prevail before we got into the evidence, before we got into discovery. But Blake Lively for. Fought and pushed her case forward. And not only does she have to cut back some of her. Her claims originally, remember with her. What was it? Her emotional distress claims because she didn't want to show her medical records. But then a judge finally went through everything and published and ruled in a 150 plus page ruling detailed why her claims did not stand and why they should not move to trial. Completely gutting and throwing out her sexual harassment claims because he said that there should. You should be allowed creative liberties in an environment like this. So therefore, it did not rise to the level of sexual harassment as she claimed, even though she had issues with Jamie Heath. But like, again, none of her claims stuck. They did not move forward. And then when it was time for her to prove this alleged smear campaign and she had to prove it before a jury, remember she said it was untraceable. She begged for a settlement and walked away penniless. Neither one of them got any, any penny in that settlement. Not Baldoni, not Lively. They both settled. It was a total wash. So she didn't get anything. And now she's begging for some crumbs to pay a portion of her attorney's fees. And she'll probably get some crumbs from that. But it sounds like she's going to piss off the judge in the process of it. But out of all of it, despite, I mean, it doesn't matter how many headlines she tries to buy and how many headlines they tried to get Leslie Sloan to promote in her favor or how many red carpets she walks from here on out. The fact that she wasn't at Taylor Swift's wedding, that fed a thousand people crazy. Like, truly whack a doodle crazy. Like she fully blew up her entire life all damn. And a lot of Swifties are like, oh, but, you know, we don't know. She may have been there. She wasn't there. Let's not pretend. And I also want to say this in defense of Taylor Swift, and I never thought I would hear those words, but in defense of Taylor Swift, those words come out of my mouth. Here's the thing. Taylor Swift, yes, was complicit. And we saw that by the text messages. She was involved. She was. She was complicit. She helps Blake Lively try to take over this movie. Now, to be fair, and I heard some of the Swifties try to make this argument when we first saw the text messages. Oh, but Taylor Swift didn't know. She was just believing Blake. She was believing that Blake was sexually harassed. And I pushed back at that and I said, no, this was before any of the allegations of sexual harassment. Taylor Swift jumped in before the wed. Or, sorry, before the movie even went into production. It was pre production because, remember, Blake was trying to hijack the script. And so Taylor came in like one of the mean Girl posse besties. One of the dragons, she came in, she knew all well that Blake was using her as a dragon and that, you know, Blake was trying to use Taylor Swift and Ryan Reynolds influence to get what she wanted. And Blake said that this wouldn't be the first time that Taylor would have to step in and save her from another project with this doofus director. I'm not taking that away. Taylor Swift was a mean girl, and that was exposed. We saw that in the text messages of her laughing and trolling Justin Baldoni. Now, it does show that there is a power dynamic and that Taylor Swift is a mean girl, along with Ryan Reynolds, who I think is also a mean girl. I think they all just sit there and paint each other's fingernails and braid each other's pussy hair while they gas each other up and, you know, make each other feel so important and special while they bully the little. The little guys, the underdogs, Right? However, when you fast forward to when this whole thing blew up and it did seem like Taylor Swift helped, or at least that kind of, you know, that's the speculation that the pieces we can kind of put together is, it looks like Taylor Swift helped orchestrate the New York Times piece. She was at least aware of it, at minimum, right now, to be fair, it may not necessarily be that Taylor Swift helped Blake Lively concoct these false claims, but if Blake did come to Taylor and be like, he was such a pig. He was so gross. He. He would do this and he would do that. Like, I do see Taylor being like, well, yeah, fuck him. Let's really take him down if he wants to be a troll, if he wants to do this. Like, I can see Taylor gassing Blake up because she believes that Blake was bothered by this behavior. Same thing with Ryan Reynolds. I think Ryan Reynolds believed. I think Blake Lively probably didn't mean it when she was saying it in the moment of like, oh, can you believe him? And can you believe he did this? And blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm sure people believed her, right? Same thing. Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, all the people that she was emailing to help her hijack the movie. Everybody helped Blake Lively because they knew that she wanted to take over this project, and so they were helping her. All the. All her celebrity friends helped her. But the second she was exposed, everybody pulled back, right? Including Taylor. Taylor never co signed the New York Times article. I think Taylor probably knew something was up, but I think once Taylor got wind of, like, what the situation really was, that's when Taylor was Like, yeah, no, I'm not doing this. And. And then, obviously, Blake was threatening to release their text messages. She's like, you need her attorneys. Went to Taylor's attorneys. And we're like, listen, you need to issue a statement and explain why Blake Lively wasn't at the Super Bowl. You need to issue a statement of support. Otherwise, your text messages. The 10 years are going to be coming out. And that's where I think it went. It turned south. That's where I think it all went bad. And I think that's when Taylor was like, you know what? Nah. I can be a mean girl and I can bully somebody, but when I see how you're doing it and how far you're taking it, you all know that when your friend takes it too far, you have to dip out. And Taylor said, peace. Taylor was like, this is too much. Whether she did it to save her own image or she did it because she believed that Blake was doing the wrong thing. She backed out. And I have to give that to Taylor. She backed out, and she stood by that by not inviting Blake to the wedding, which I think was the ultimate loss for Blake Lively, because Blake Lively didn't just lose Taylor. She lost Gigi Hadid. She lost all of those friends. Bradley Cooper. I don't even know who is left in Taylor in Blake's court at this point other than Ryan Reynolds. And I think now that Taylor has publicly distanced herself from Blake Lively, it will give other people permission to also distance themselves from Blake Lively. Right? Emily Blunt, Salma Hayek, all these other people that, like, continued to be friends with, like, maybe even Anna Wintour. Listen, when it comes down to Blake Lively or Taylor Swift, you're going to tell me Anna Wintour would not prefer Taylor Swift over Blake Lively. You think we just fell out of a coconut tree? I think now that Taylor Swift. Well, I think Hugh Jackman is going to stick around. Him and Ryan Reynolds are still going to, you know, do a lot in the. In the garage together. But I think, I mean, Travis Kelce unfollowing Ryan Reynolds. Remember when that happened? Like, I think this is, like, the full cuz everyone was like, are they friends? Aren't they friends? Then Taylor release canceled. Good thing I like my friends canceled. Everyone's like, oh, my God, that's about Blake. That's about Blake. Well, now, like, it's been made clear that Taylor has drawn a line in the sand and she wants nothing to do with Blake. So there we go. I think that's. That's the real the real loss for Blake Lively. And now Taylor's made that a standard that everybody else, well, if Taylor's not friends with everyone else, can like dip out and not have to be fake friends with Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds. They fucked around and find out that's the true fafo. Taylor Swift, hit them with the FAFO card. Fuck around, find out, period. Okay, moving on. Ooh, watch or skip. Okay, this is here. Let's do a little boya. Watch or skip. I watched Elle on Amazon prime over the weekend. It's the prequel to Legally Blonde. I was a little skeptical. Reese Witherspoon has been really trying to push it hard. They were doing a whole, what was it, 25 year anniversary of Legally Blonde. Has it really been 25 years? No way. No. Has it? Yeah, because it came out, what, in 2001. So, yeah, it's been 25 years since legally Blonde first came out. Crazy. Anyway, Legally Blonde prequel is now, you know, Elle woods in high school. And you know what? I have to say, I watched all. I binged all eight episodes over the weekend. I'm gonna say watch. I thought it was. It was a lot better than I expected. I didn't even. I forgot that it came out. Obviously. I knew that there was promotion for it. But like a lot of the times they do like these promotional campaigns for like two weeks. You never know exactly like when it's actually going to be dropping. But I watched it over the weekend and basically the premise is Elle woods is in high school. Her parents, her dad's a plastic surgeon, he botches this like famous actress's nose and they have to move to Seattle because they need to lay low and they need to leave LA and go to Seattle for a while. And Seattle's very punk, grunge, you know, super liberal, like anti establishment, you know, very different from la. And so Elle woods, this LA girl, quintessential Beverly Hills Barbie, has to go to this high school and like get acquainted with all of these students that are nothing like her and that judge her and hate her because they're just, you know, they think that she's everything that they rebel against. And so you find her trying to, like, fit in and her like, wanting to leave and then her becoming friends with them. And it's actually really good. It's a lot better than I was expecting. It wasn't super fluffy like Legally Blonde was. Like, it has the fluff, but it also has, you know, some really good shots, really good depth, good story to it. And I mean, is it something that I would watch week after week and be like, oh, my God, there's a new episode of Elle out today. No, but being that Amazon prime released all eight episodes at once, I was able to binge it over the weekend. It's a good binge. I watched it over the course of two days, so it's a good binge. It's not something that I would watch as a weekly series though. But like, in order to get me hooked for a weekly series, like that needs to be a good series with, like, good, you know, cliffhangers and good storytelling that keeps me hooked week after week. This was not, I mean, it was good. It's a good weekend, fun summer weekend binge, I'll tell you that. So highly recommend it as a fun weekend binge. And they're all on now. Okay, moving on. We will do Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and then we'll do the World Cup. Okay, so. Yikes. Former NFL player Marcellus Wiley, who is the husband of former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Anna Marie Wiley. Remember Anna Marie? She was one for one season. She was always fighting with Crystal. So Marcellus, her husband, remember, didn't he say she's a 7.5 or an 8.5? Remember like on a scale of 1 to 10, he called her, I think an 8, 8 and a half. Which is wild for your husband to be. Like, on a scale of one to ten, I'm going to call you a one and a half. Like, how would you feel if your husband ranked you an eight and a half on a scale of one to ten? Like, that to me is crazy. But anyway, he was arrested for domestic battery. Arrested and charged with domestic battery. And he was arrested on 4th of July, so on Saturday in Orange County, Florida for allegedly threatening to kill Anna Marie before he was arrested. So crazy. Anna Marie claims that Marcellus used one finger to sternly and intentionally poke her in the cheek the day before in front of their seven year old daughter. And she's alleging that Marcellus had engaged in an unreported history of violence towards her in the past. He's denying that. This comes after. Back in May, there were four women that accused him of sexual assault spanning over the course of multiple years. But yeah, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. Copper Mountain says, ouch. This one, this one and a half and stick it up. Oh, yeah. Could you imagine? Like, that's crazy. A punch in the gut. That's horrible. It's like such a mean thing to say about your own wife. But she defended it and she defended him. And now here we are. So she was clearly protecting him or defending him against something, but unfortunately, it did not bode well for the two of them. And he was arrested, he was charged. We'll see what happens. She. I don't see them lasting after this, but they were spending the weekend in Florida. I believe they were there for a tournament and did not end well. But she's claiming that there was a history of violence and this time she was afraid that he was actually going to follow through on his threat and he was going to kill her, which is crazy and sad. And I hope Anna Marie is safe. I hope their kids are safe. I hope that this gets resolved in a way that is just, but also in a way that, you know, continues to protect Anna Marie and their children. Just crazy. Copper Mama says, Copper Mountain says. Or protecting herself because he knows something, maybe. I mean. And also, abusers spouses usually defend them. Yeah, you know, we're seeing that. And if these allegations from these other women are true about sexual assault, I don't know. We'll see. Wasn't there. That was something that came up when she was on Real Houses Beverly Hills, is that there was an allegation against her husband from, like, years ago, back in, like, his college days. And they were, like, trying to brush that under the rug and move past that. Well, it's not looking too good for them, but we'll see what happens. So it says in May. This is according to Us Weekly. It says in May. Marcel has faced allegations of essay by four women, including a former ESPN production assistant. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the woman claimed Marcellus lured her into his hotel room in 2009 under the guise of a work meeting. When we went into his room, Wiley excused himself to go to the bathroom, the woman alleges, per court filings obtained by us. He emerged from the bathroom naked. He pushed me up against the windows of the room so hard I thought they would have shattered. I was petrified and I believed I was going to be killed. I repeatedly pleaded with him to stop and let me go. He would not. He pushed me face down onto the bed and kept me there with my face pressed into the mattress in such a way that I had difficulty breathing, which made me fear for my life. Wiley held me down and masturbated over me until he finished. Only then did he allow me to leave the room. Another woman claimed that she met Marcellus when she was 13 and accused him of essaying her when she turned 18. Marcellus essayed me on my 18th birthday after grooming me from the age of 13. Ooh, this is a big one. If Columbia University, where widely attended college, had properly pursued the complaints, I would have never been groomed and assaulted. Obviously she uses the R word and I'm. Which I don't know if YouTube prefers assaulted, but I know they definitely don't like the R word at this time. Marcellus denied the allegations against him in a YouTube video. I'm going to continue to challenge all of these false allegations. I'm exposed to inconsistencies. I break down and film and confront what I believe to be attempts and at causing harm to my reputation through legal coercion and legal extortion. They're trying to leverage lies for personal gain. As they say, assassination by accusation, that's their goal. They're trying by line. They don't want justice, they just want ice money. Bling, bling things.

Okay, Bling, bling, bling. All right, well, I guess we'll have to see how that plays out. But none of this is looking good for any of them. Like, truly crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. Okay, let's talk World cup news. Okay, so as we know, the FIFA World cup is being hosted by Canada, Mexico and the usa. Okay, well, the games are going on. We have a big game today. Today's the big day, okay? The big day for the US which is why I'm wearing a red shirt. I have my blue jeans. I'm going to wear my white sneakers. And that's red, white and blue, okay? Because I'm rooting for my team. Usa.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

Usa.

[Zack Peter]

Usa. But so Canada and Mexico have already embarrassed us because Canada got tossed out. Mexico yesterday got tossed out. It was Mexico versus England, which was a highly anticipated game, but a good game. And it was like people were going strong, right? The US Won. What was it they played on Friday? Right. They played in advanced to the. It's the final 16. And then after this last batch of games, we go into the semi quarterfinals. So we're getting there. We're getting close. Okay, we have next week is, I believe, the fine. So we have. We close the next two brackets this week, and then next week are the final two brackets. So as the final four teams play, and that takes us down to the final two, which I believe if that showdown goes down at the end of next week, so mid July, we're getting there. So as I said, Mexico, Canada, US they're the ones that are hosting. First we had Canada lose. Then yesterday, we had Mexico lose against England. That was actually a really good game. It was. It was intense. It was like back and forth, back and forth, back and forth for the first 30 minutes. And then finally, finally England scores. And then they got two, and then Mexico finally got one, and then England got three, and then England ultimately ended up winning, and they will be advancing to the semi quarterfinals. Hi, buddy. You're okay. You're okay, buddy. Sally's had a little bit of a cough. Sky had a little cough. And now Sally's got a little bit of a cough, and so. Sorry. Okay. That's okay. So, yes, now we have the US and this is their last chance to keep one of the hosts still in the game moving forward, which, by the way, is, if you're watching this right now, hit the like button. Hit the subscribe button if you haven't done so. Get it, get it, get it, do it, do it, do it. Oh, no, not my fur babies. I'm not my fur nephews. I know. Praying for Sally's. Well, Sully's also very dramatic. Like, let's be clear. Sky's like, you know, a tank. Even when he's sick or something's wrong. Like, sky will power through, and Sully's like, oh, oh, the drama. So don't let him fool you. He's very dramatic. Okay, so today is the big day. It's Belgium versus the U.S. but this is where the T is. So on Friday's game, when it was the US Right, there was our star player. His name. His name is Falerin Balogun. Okay. And so Baligun is, you know, one of the top players on the US Team. I just learned about him. I just learned about the US and so Baligun, remember, we watched. I think we watched it on Friday where there was the incident where he fell on the guy's leg and then he ended up getting red carded. And so because he got this, it's like a super foul. So there's like a regular foul where it's like, oh, you did bad. And then there's like the super foul. And so apparently the red card is the super foul. And because he got the super foul, they were going to suspend him and he wasn't going to be able to play in today's game. But then Daddy Trump made the phone call and he said, hold up, wait a minute, you got to let this man play. And so then now, I guess the FIFA committee, they said, okay, fine, we're going to allow Faleren to play or, sorry, we're going to allow. We don't call him Falarin, we call him Baligun. We're going to allow Baligan to play in the match against Belgium. So obviously things didn't go well with Bosnia on Friday, but we beat them. But we were afraid that Baligan wasn't going to be able to play. And then Trump said, nah, make it happen. And then he's like, it's handled. He, Olivia poked them. Well, now Belgium is trying to appeal that decision to let Baligan play. And it's like, why do you care? And it's like, obviously they care because they want to win. And they don't think that. They think that it's. They're going to have a tougher time winning if Baligan is out. Right? Which is kind of crazy, though, because he was the star, he was the striker, and so he was, you know, one of the prized players. Didn't, you know, we'll see. But. So it was Sunday that FIFA had reversed the decision to suspend Baligan because Trump called and, you know, appealed on the team's behalf. FIFA agreed. So here's. This is from People magazine. It says Belgium will have the right to appeal the controversial decision that saw FIFA reverse the US striker Falerian Belligan's one game suspension, making him eligible to play in the round of 16 clash between countries on Monday, July 6. The Royal Belgian Football association said in a statement obtained by the Athletic that it is no. That it has no alternative but to challenge Beligan's eligibility for the upcoming match. And independent member of the FIFA appeals committee has been selected to hear the case. The ruling is possible before the game is set to begin Monday at 8pm Eastern. That's 5pm Pacific. So we still got a few hours to see. The news comes one day after the World's Cup. World Cups disciplinary committee overturned Baligan's red card suspension, which came during the round 36 match against Bosnia on Wednesday. Oh, it was Wednesday, not Friday. Why did I think it was Friday? Trump, who was among those who intervened? Oh, so he Was one of those. Intervened on the team's behalf and called the FIFA president Gianni Infantino last week. Infantio. Gianni Infantio Infantino last week to ask the FIFA review. To ask that FIFA review. Baligan's red card. Baligan was ejected from the game during the 64th minute. Yep, that's right. Because he like, he stepped on the other guy. What is his name? Tarek Maharmovic. He was drama. Like, let's be real. He was like, oh, oh. He's like Sully. Like, if Sullivan were ever to be playing soccer, that's what he would look like. He'd be like, oh, oh, oh. Wait, did we get an answer? Somebody saying there's. There was a ruling 31 minutes ago. Oh, here we go. This just came in 31 minutes ago. FIFA dismisses Belgium's appeal over Baligan's ban decision. So will he play? Okay, According to the athletic from the New York Times, FIFA's dismissed Bell Gan's Belgium's challenge over the eligibility of Bell again after world soccer governing body decided to suspend him his one game ban ahead of the World cup round of 16 match. I mean, to be fair, that red card was bullshit, right? We watched it, okay? We watched it and we saw that. That was a total accident. He didn't intentionally step on the man. Right. And men's. And men say that women are dramatic. I mean, the other. He was dramatic. That's how the soccer players are. Yes. He should be eligible to play. I think he should absolutely be eligible to play. Right? Oh, Zach. That's how the food bowlers are. That's what I heard. That's how the food bowlers are. Okay. Valerie says Zach talking about soccer is the definition of fake it till you make it. You know what? Period. But anyway, I'm glad. So he got red carded and then he got unread card. Or I guess he's still red carded, but he's allowed to play. It's wild that we have 12,000 people watching this live stream right now. We have 12,000 people that tuned in to watch me talk about. Pretend to talk about Baligan watching. I need to send this to my manager and be like, so, by the way, 12,000 people. Which, by the way, if you're watching this right now, hit that like button12,000 people are watching me talk about the World cup, which is just crazy. So anyway, long story short, he's playing in the game. So that's happening. Okay. Baligan is in, which means we have a fighting chance. They okay, Sullivan yes, my love. You're gonna be okay. You're gonna survive. I promise. You will live. Sky had a little bit of cough the other day, and he was not nearly this dramatic, but so, okay, so Belgium formally objected the decision, or Belgium originally objected the decision, saying that there was no alternative but to trust his eligibility in the upcoming match. FIFA's appeal committee, however, has rendered the request submitted by the Royal Belgian Football association as inadmissible. They did so on the grounds that the rbfa, which is the Royal Belgium Football association, is not a party to the proceedings and as such, has no standing to appeal its decision. Wait a minute.

[E (Zack Peter's co-host or guest)]

So.

[Zack Peter]

Oh, sorry, Sully. So it's the Royal Belgian Football association that has nothing to do with the Belgian football team. Are you kidding me? So they don't even have. They don't even have a skin in this game. I mean, obviously, that's like if. You know, I had my own, like, go, USA Team. And I was like, you know what? I'm gonna. I'm gonna bat for the U.S. i'm gonna. I'm gonna put in an appeal. I'm gonna write a strongly worded letter to the FIFA committee, and I'm going to tell the people that they're wrong. I mean, come on. RN Explorer says. Who would have thought I would be getting World cup news from Zach? Peter. Exactly. Glad you are getting into sports, Zach. It's fun. Guys, I've been into sports. I don't understand them very well when it's world. Hello. Did you not see me down for the World Series? World Series, Super Bowl. When it's the big ones, I'm in it, right? Or Ray Gun at the Olympics. Remember Rae Gunn? She was the breakdancing queen. I am the dancing queen.

[Zack Peter]

Come on. When it's time for, like, the big games to come on, I'm in it to win. And, you know, when I'm locked in, I lock in. And when I ride for a team, that's my team. You know, I pretended to ride for Mexico, but I'm not really like a Mexico. Go Mexico. Like, I'm Go U. S. I'm a. I'm a member of the United States of America. I'm a citizen of usa. So that's my team. Those are my people, right? Just like the Los Angeles Dodgers. That's my team. I'm a Los Angeles Dodger through and through. You know, FIFA knows that call was so bad. See, that's why everybody's like, oh, it's Trump. Trump, Trump. First of all, I don't Think it was Trump. It was a bad call. It was a bad call. It was not a good call. Everybody knows it was a bad call. Especially because at the beginning, they didn't rule it as a red card suspension foul. Okay? That wasn't the original call. And then they went back and they're like, oh, actually, we changed our mind. It was a red card suspension call. Okay? And I'm glad that they came to their senses and that they, you know, came back around. Copper Mountain says, oh, the breakdancing on the Olympics was a joke. Listen, it's real, okay? Breakdancing is a real sport. But where is the lady? Hell if I know. Hell if I know. Zach, is that a new tattoo? No, it's my same tattoo. Same one I've always had, or. Well, same one I got last year.
