... that's just that.

Well, yes, and we have to understand that this trial specifically was not about whether she did it or didn't do it.

It was about her mental, uh, competency, and was she aware of what she was doing or not.

So all of the evidence that was collected during the investigation did not need to be presented at trial because it wasn't being litigated whether or not she did it.

It was already understood in the courtroom with the prosecution, the defense, the jury, and the judge.

Everybody was already under the understanding that she did it, because she did admit to it.

We had multiple witnesses in court that claimed that she told them she did it, described it.

Well, that's what you think

... that's just that.

Well, yes, and we have to understand that this trial specifically was not about whether she did it or didn't do it.

Well, that's what you think

Do you agree?

They were the ones that were really... causing the entire smear campaign against Justin.

Like, I still don't know what Justin or Melissa or Jen Abel or even Stephanie Jones at the time did that was so damaging to Blake Lively's reputation other than because so many of these organic moments.

And I mean, you know the story better.

You made a whole docuseries about it.

But like so many of these moments online during the August premiere were like these moments that were going viral based off of Blake's own behavior and her own words.

Like there was no, and the only reason there was speculation about tension on set was because of the fact that she wouldn't do press with him and wouldn't pose for photos with him, which again was laying down that foundation for the fact that there was issues on set.

But do you get what I'm saying? Do you think the backlash is finally officially there?

What are prosecutors actually alleging happened here? What evidence do they

say they have? So it is, I mean, it is a he said, she said, and as of right now, Kim Zolciak is defending her son very strongly.

She's saying that he has taken a lie detector test.

She is claiming that he is proclaiming his innocence, but there are different, there are, I believe as of right now, seven different charges of different aggravated assault and sodomy.

I believe the young woman or actually teenage girl, one of his classmates is accusing him of, being inappropriate and taking advances while I believe they were in like a gym locker room.

There were no cameras that saw what happened.

I believe the cameras just saw them going into the changing room.

documentary though about Hannah Montana together?

of what Dolly's manager claims went down with him and the nephew.

Yeah, there's this big dispute right now.

So her manager, Danny Nozzle, he runs this LLC.

She's a live LLC, a little ironic of a name, but so he runs that and that's to preserve the legacy of her business, right? And the legacy of Dolly Parton.

But then we have her nephew and her head of security, Brian Seaver.

And there seems to be a dispute.

Brian and his security team were fired recently.

This turned into a thing this week.

But what do you make of her response?

I mean, I'm glad that she's standing firm in that, right? Like Pink is somebody that we've seen has always been very outspoken, been very vocal about issues that have mattered to her, that I'm glad that she's standing up and she's not, you know, letting the backlash that I'm sure she's been getting online really weigh on her.

And she's like, no, I'm standing by this.

This is how I feel.

I'm a proud Jewish woman.

And the difficult part is it's like, Macklemore made a mockery of Jewish people on stage, right? It wasn't just a statement supporting the people of Palestine.

He really mocked the Jewish community.

Again, why is she brainwashing the next generation with this sort of rhetoric online?

We're all on pins and needles right now.

Uh, I, I don't...

I have it unmuted, but there's no...

You guys wanted Boston T- 25, so I put on Boston 25, so there's no commentary on Boston 25.

All right? And with that-

I don't think I've ever seen this before.

Days into the, the deliberations, I'm sure it's happened, he rereads reasonable doubt and the presumption of innocence to the jury.

Now, if this was flipped, i- you know, this is the biggest appellate b- issue in the world, because it seems like, it seems like he's telling them, "Find some reasonable doubt." Why would he have to pull the jury, or not pull, but come and swear in and talk to the jury before reading this instruction to them, and he sees that he must reinstruct them and tell them they have to follow the law? "You have to follow my instruction." We're gonna listen to this through, and then I'm gonna go back to the beginning and hear what he says again, just because, uh, does this mean there's one person that maybe with the Tuohy instruction, it's like they're holding out and saying, "Uh, guilty, guilty, guilty.

I'm very confused by the like sort of societal reaction to this case.

Yeah, I think, I mean, there are so many layers to it, right? And to your point, I can have sympathy or empathy for the fact that she was struggling mentally and she didn't get adequate care.

I can hold that sympathy and that empathy for her there while also knowing This insanity defense, I don't know if I agree with.

After watching everything and looking at what the options are, I personally think I would maybe go second-degree murder to factor in that she was trying to seek help.

But ultimately, she did do it.

And I make this argument, and I take heat for it.

I'm like, are you going to give Nick Reiner the same level of sympathy? Interesting.

Yes.

What would have caused this, do you think? What's going on in his life that we know of?

His ex-wife, I mean, my gosh, dealing with Angelina Jolie is probably not the easiest thing.

I mean, and then we're seeing all of his kids now.

They're kind of starting to separate themselves from him.

They're starting to drop the Pitt last name, which I think is probably hurtful for any father.

I'm glad that he's being honest about it.

I know that that's that was like a really big trend of like people going completely sober.

So what a hypocrite.

... know who she was, because it's sort of a specific thing.

They said a white Apple Watch and a broken, uh, light, like a headlight, in the backyard.

Um, and those are the two details that they noted to, uh, indicate that they were at least there or present that night.

But there were the two notes, and they were very bizarre, the shift in tone.

The first letter was like, "We have your mother, Savannah.

Um, her life is in your hands.

If you don't pay us this Bitcoin within this deadline, we're going to kill her." And then a couple of days later, they sent the sec- or a couple days later they sent the second letter, and the second letter had a drastically different tone of, like, we, she perished, like a, a carton of milk.

Yeah.

Deanna says that maybe you're gay and bi Yeah, like, like-

I also don't like gay shit.

Like, I don't like musicals, and like I've never had the desire to do like the theater or like, um...

I don't know, I've never like wanted to paint my nails or like wanna dress up in drag and wear wigs.

[laughs]

... and he was like so fun, and he does something...

I don't remember what he does.

But like he's in town and he has a wife at home, and like we became friends, and we were chatting and drinking, and I was like, "Wow, look at...

Why stop now? [laughs]

[laughs] I ju- I just think it's time to stop playing nice guy.

Like, I get it.

I'm with you on the Baha'i fai- Like, I'm, I'm with you, and I'm trying to, like, also, you know, channel that inner, that, that inner good part of me that's like, "Be the better guy.

Be the better person," but she is just such a vile human being.

The fact that she has continued to, to drag out this litigation when she knows that her sexual harassment claims are total, utter bullshit, and she keeps pushing this forward.

She's making a mockery out of our court system.

... absolutely everybody except those who are editors or, uh, deputy editors at traditional magazines.

Okay.

I think...

So according to Dave, he came across, I think, Alex's teaser for Call Her Daddy, and he saw, like, a clip of, or something that she was doing to promote it, and he reached out to her 'cause his thing is it's like, "I'm...

I find talent." He's like, "I don't care if the talent, you know, uses Bar Stool as a launching pad and goes and becomes uber successful after us.

I just like to find and foster talent." And he's like, "When I saw Alex Cooper," he's like, "I knew she was gonna be a star, and so I wanted to bring her into Bar Stool.

I told her we had all these resources.

We had this built-in audience, and I just..." He said he had a gut feeling about her, so he offered her a deal to come in for $75,000 for a year to sign Call Her Daddy to Bar Stool.

You're, go ahead

Interesting.

She also, she also, like, just doesn't even know who she is.

Like, of all of the women on that cast, she's the one that's so, like, fish out of water, so awkward, doesn't, like, know her identity, doesn't know who she's supposed to be.

So I think this is just another one of her attention-seeking behaviors.

But I think Kyle actually is, uh, like, a, a gay woman, or at least bi.

Uh, yeah.

I think she's...

I don't know if she's fully lesbian.

Now I'm on board with this is strange.

Yeah.

I mean, listen, Sarah, my track record, Erica Jane, everybody, everybody beat me up about Erica Jane when I said nothing ever happened.

And what just happened a few weeks ago, the bankruptcy trustees lawsuit against her completely collapsed and they had, they got nothing.

Erica Jane has been completely cleared at this point.

Blake Lively.

That was another big one.

What's we can expect for season two.

[laughs]

I have no idea what his ass looks like I barely even wanna see his face, let alone a fucking ass

Apparently people get ass pimples.

I, I've heard that people do get ass pimples, but I didn't realize it was, like, this big of an epidemic that we need to start having a whole facial regimen.

Yeah.

I think an affair you can't recover from.

But, like, if somebody gets drunk and kisses somebody or makes out with somebody, you know, I think that can...

You know, I guess it depends on the relationship.

I remember there was a guy that I was dating, and we'd gone out, and we went out to a bar afterwards.

And I mean, there were so many red flags with him.

[laughs]

... with this new guy, I can say that.

Hey, authenticity, right? Zach, the endorsements, the non-endorsements, do celebrities really have a sway on voters? And I actually kind of wonder, do influencers, online influencers have more of a sway today?

I mean, I think if celebrities had any sort of power in influencing elections, Kamala would have won.

We would have had Hillary as president.

There are so many.

We've seen this decline.

People are tired of celebrities lecturing to us from their ivory towers.

I mean, I was getting into a few spars on Twitter the other night with some well-known celebrities and reality stars that were upset that I was endorsing Spencer Pratt.

But talk to me about why perhaps Rahman is not the choice.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you.

Why stop now?

[laughs] I j- I just think it's time to stop playing nice guy.

Like, I get it.

I'm with you on the high fa- like, I'm, I'm with you, and I'm trying to, like, also, you know, channel that inner, that, that, that inner good part of me that's like, "Be the better guy.

Be the better person." But she is just such a vile human being.

The fact that she has continued to, to drag out this litigation when she knows that her sexual harassment claims are total, utter bullshit, and she keeps pushing this forward.

She's making a mockery out of our court system.

... absolutely everybody except those who are editors or, uh, deputy editors at traditional magazines.

... really m- the stupidest choice.

And, and listen, she took over production and did all of that.

Okay, fine, I'll even give her those, those crumbs that she can take.

You screwed it up during production, but now we're seeing the success of the film, and now there's a sequel on the line, and now there's your, your future on the line.

Like, and even when you, you start to have tone deaf marketing, and you start to take the feedback and be like, "Okay, let's correct course to save the franchise so that we can do a sequel, so that we can have more opportunities.

Like, let's figure out a way to workshop this and get, and course correct." But instead, she decided she was going to bulldoze this guy even further-

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that's, that's natural and understanding, and understandable to have empathy for them considering it's, you know, they're going through a really difficult time, and I can't even imagine the grief or the pain that they're feeling.

Oh, I don't remember that

... always kind of had that plan, and then the Valley came along, and they started filming The Valley, and I was like, "Mm." And then I started to see that Luke started to like it, because then he was getting a little fame.

He was getting a little attention.

He was starting to see his, his, at the time, girlfriend getting attention.

And so I think he liked it, and then they had the baby.

But, like, LA's a really hard town to raise a family in, um, especially-

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm

... that we can cost her in this alleged smear campaign that I guess we're all part of, even though I've repeatedly told the internet and Blake Lively that my disdain for her is purely organic, USDA certified organic disdain for Blake Lively.

And it goes back years before this, because I used to know people that used to work at her preserve company, and they've never had stellar stories to share about their experience working from her, for, uh, work- working for her.

And even her career in Hollywood was never stellar.

She was always known as somebody that was difficult to work with.

Those rumors were always following her.

She was lucky to find someone like Ryan Reynolds, who was so likable and charismatic and funny.

It's stomach-churning.

Like we need to hear Blake say those words.

I'm hoping we get clips from her deposition.

I'm hoping Bryan Freedman is smart and savvy enough to work in some of the clips because if it gets admitted into evidence, then it is able to get accessible from the public.

So I'm hoping we at least get clips of her deposition 'cause then if they play that for the jury, then those are clips that can be shared.

Um, Kay says Emily D. Baker is biased.

Um, I d- uh, listen, Emily is somebody that was a, a good fr- like we were, we were friends.

We haven't really talked in a minute.

Oh my God

Like, I mean,

come on.

Well, that's the so that's what's going forward to trial now is that retaliation piece.

So there are two or sorry, three claims that are moving forward.

It's the retaliation in part.

it's breach of contract and it's breach of implied covenant.

So the last, the case has really been reduced to a contract dispute and whether or not the studio violated their contract by retaliating against her.

That's where it was like it was deceptive.
