I just feel like we are surrounded in this world by bullshit. So, how can you know what's real and what's not? Science Buses. That's how. We answer questions like, does anti-aging skincare actually work? And what is your true personality type? And to answer these questions, we don't use opinions. We dive into the scientific studies, talk to the experts, and put it in a podcast that I know you are gonna love. Listen to Science Buses on Spotify. Welcome to TMZ live, Harvey Levin here. Hello sir. So, the Taylor Swift concert that was supposed to go down tonight in Vienna could have been an absolute cataclysmic event. We now know details of what was planned and it wasn't just planned inside the arena, it was planned outside as well. Yeah, a very elaborate plan that would have resulted in hundreds, thousands of casualties. If it went off as the three people have been arrested, had planned. And this plot was something that was thwarted not only by local police there, but actually with authorities here in the US. Well, they're the ones that actually tipped off, they tipped off the local authorities in Vienna. By the way, we're talking about three people, all of whom are teenagers. A 19-year-old, a 17-year-old, and a 15-year-old. The 17-year-old, and this is what is so shocking. The 17-year-old got a job inside the venue working for a vendor. So, the 17-year-old would have been inside that stadium. Right. And now we're talking about explosives that were found at the 19-year-old's house. Right, at the 19-year-old's house, police raided his home and found him. This is a photo of that suspect. And by the way, you see him holding machete and knives. They believe that was part of the plan. That was going to be enacted outside. But the most probably the first part of this, the more alarming part, was the bomb that the materials to make a bomb that were found inside his home. And they believe that the plan was to set off a bomb at least one inside the stadium. And then at the same time outside the stadium, there was going to be a vehicle that authorities believe would have been driven into the crowd to kill as many people as possible. And as a matter of fact, when they raided the 19-year-old's house, they found a blue light that you put in the trombone. A strobe light that you put in the top of a car to make it look like it's an authority car that would have more access to inside that venue. By the way, thousands and thousands of people are outside trying to just listen. Because at Taylor Swift concerts, there's obviously the packed stadium always, but then there are always hundreds, if not thousands of people outside the stadium who couldn't get tickets, but they all gather outside and sing along to the songs. And they had a plan to actually attack those people as well. What's even more chilling here, Harvey and Charles, is that, you know, police are saying that the suspects wanted to blow themselves up. They would have gone there with vests, laden with explosives. That's a telltale sign that they were radicalized via ISIS. Because that's what many of the original members of ISIS back years ago-- That's why they would carry out a terrorist attack. Yeah, yeah. So now the big issue is what happens going forward. They have canceled the three Vienna concerts, obviously. But now she's set to perform in London next. And England has had its share of problems. If you remember back to 2017, there was a bomb placed and that exploded at Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester, killing 22 people. So this is top of mind in England. And England and the tour is going to continue for several more months. So it's almost like the baton gets passed on to the next city. The pressure is going to be on. And there are no borders with terrorism like this. So now the question, what is going on? You know, how widespread is this? You know, what we heard today is that in Europe, almost all of these terrorist plots have been hatched by teenagers or young adults and mostly young males. And this has become a huge thing. By the way, the 19-year-old and the other two, they were radicalized in the last month. This is not something that kind of ruminant for years. They became radicalized recently. How is it happening and happening at that speed is what we're going to talk to our guest about. So joining us now to talk about that is Rita Katz. She is an international terrorism analyst and author of several books. This one called Saints and Soldiers Inside the Internet Age Terrorism from Syria to the capital siege. So this certainly seems to be right up her alley. Rita, welcome to TMZ Live. Hi, nice to see you guys. Rita, we're going to talk about the scope of this problem. But the first thing I want to understand is there have been numerous reports that at least one, and maybe all of these teenagers that were plotting in Vienna, that they were recruited in the last month. And I always thought of this as something that would take a long, long time, not just to get somebody to embrace ISIS, but then to act on it. And to plan something, right? And we're being told July is when this happened. That just seems unbelievable to me that it could go from nothing to planning an attack like this in a month or so. Yeah, that's not surprising at all. And that's one of the things that I really detail in my book, how quickly a young man, young person can be radicalized on the internet. This is an issue that I have been dealing with, or I would say more than a decade when we saw the shift from moving from real terrorist entities on the ground where you need membership. You need to join the group to move into the internet. The internet, when we talk about the internet, we're talking here, not just the regular www.co.com, but we're talking here about applications. Most of this recruitment is done on application. Application that sometimes you never heard of, for instance, things like Telegram or riots. I will have almost no doubt that these individuals were recruited on Telegram, which is their main platform for ISIS and many other terrorist organizations. You're mentioning Telegram, and I know about that app, but I'm wondering how these young people are when they go on Telegram, are groups like ISIS or ISIS specifically seeking these people? And what are they looking for when they try to recruit someone to start looking at their material? Yes, so what happens is once you join Telegram, you will be able sooner or later to find ISIS messages. And one way is magazines that they publish. For instance, taking the most important ISIS group, which is ISIS-Horesan, many calls it ISIS-K, this group has English magazine that is widely disseminated. In the English magazine, they publish their accounts online on various platforms. From there, all you need to do is to contact them. You contact them, and they start the indoctrination. You're probably at that stage already have some information about ISIS. You want to join the group, and you will start the communication. That's an interesting point. You say by the time they join, they already want to become part of it. So what is the profile of these people? I mean, you've got people, some of them grow up in these middle-class families, I mean, what is the draw to ISIS that makes them want to go on Telegram, that then makes them a recruit and makes them give up their own lives for that cause? What is that draw that is creating this huge problem around the world? One of the reasons they join the groups is that they feel they don't belong anywhere else. And extremist communities like the incel, neo-Nazis, accelerations, ISIS, they all open the doors for you. They make you feel important, you become part of the community. And this problem is growing as more as people rely on the internet. People live on the internet, young generations. I had to kick out my kids from the internet spending so many times, and I think many parents have the same problem. Taylor is supposed to perform in London. And there are no borders when it comes to these terrorists. So what do you do going forward? What do authorities do to thwart it the way they thwarted Vienna? Or are we just praying that it doesn't happen again? So first of all, the nice thing that you signed in Vienna was the sharing of intelligence information between agencies because the Austrian received it from another intelligence agencies. And we are seeing more and more of that happening all over the world. In addition to all of that, I mean, I think security companies and the government will need to be able to try to do whatever in their power. But I think that knowing about the threat is already a huge preparation. You will get to the right preparation to try to stop any other attack. Knowing about it, fighting the problem is one of the most important elements. And sharing of the information. You said no borders as far as the terrorist concern and the people fighting them have to look at it the same way. Right. Rita, thank you so much for joining us. We really appreciate your insight on this very serious issue. We're all face now. Thank you, Rita. My pleasure. Thank you. Wow, it is frightening. Yeah. Kanye West has a problem, a very serious problem with addiction. According to, and we should say, the person who is saying this is the definition of disgruntled ex-employee, but his former chief of staff Milo Yiannopoulos says that Kanye is addicted to nitrous and that he has been using this nitrous gas and that he's getting it from different places. At least the way Milo is describing it, it's not unlike what we learned about Michael Jackson getting Dr. Shopping, eventually. Yeah. And the only difference is, and I'm not saying it's right, Michael Jackson was getting propable because he was an insomniac and this does not seem to be curing anything. It's more about the rush, the high that you get from using nitrous gas. But Milo and Kanye have had a long, long and controversial relationship. Milo recently quit his staff, but has had a lot of things to say about what happened while he was working with Kanye. Now, these are, again, his claims. We don't know that it's, we haven't seen any proof that this is actually happening, but he is making this claim and this kind of aligns with an interview that Kanye did with Candice Owens back in 2022 because if the issue was addiction, she was talking about Kanye's propensity for Hennessy and how Hennessy somehow made him anti-Semitic or brought the anti-Semitism out and that there was some connection. This sounds bizarre, but welcome to Kanye West's world. This is what happened. I definitely was drinking when I put up the Deaf Con tree. I had, you know, who's, I want to say alcohol I had inside me, but I don't know, Hennessy. Oh, what the heck? As usual, it's hard to, it seems like he's saying one thing, but then he says the opposite, so which is true. I don't know, but that also played more, to me, played more like a conspiracy theory because he was blaming Hennessy's own by LVMH and so he's blaming the head of LVMH. Yet he's saying, wait a minute, but he's saying that the Hennessy brought out the truth. Right. I mean, he said that at one point. But if you say that, that it can, he said it can bring out the truth, but it's also people will discredit you and say, oh, you're, you're drunk. I got to get it. I got to say something that this guy went on this abhorrent anti-Semitic rant. He's smiling when he's talking about it here, acknowledging it, and it's like an etch-a-sketch in this country. Nobody even talks about this anymore. Now we're talking about Kanye's wife. So we're guilty of that too. We're talking about the fact that she walks around almost naked and nobody's mentioned, I mean, if this were any other group that anybody did this to, the way he has spoken, I mean, we're not going to be talking about their wives going into the cheesecake factory, but we can with Jews. I mean, I'm sorry, but as a Jew, this really offends me. Well, you understand that it's, I get why you feel that way, but Kanye has, no matter what he has said, it seems like it's always, you're right, there's an etch-a-sketch with whatever he says, and it's always been that way with him. For some reason, I don't, I don't, I don't, well, is it Kanye or is it the fact that it's easy to be anti-Semitic in America these days? Till from Utah, this is becoming an all too familiar story with famous celebrities, having access to endless prescription drugs. And because the celebrities will pay the doctor so much money, it's not going to stop soon. I wonder if this could explain Kanye's erratic behavior. I also think Dr. Connolly's response does not sound like a denial, but more like, it's not what you think response. Yeah, by the way, I don't know that he's getting this from doctors only. Well, there's a dentist, according to Milo, the dentist, by the way, we reached out the dentist, he completely denies this. I just don't know what Milo's point is in bringing this up. Well, it's our grapes, that he's pissed at. So he just wants to, he wants to torch him because he's pissed at him. I mean, Kanye does not end relationships well. Yeah. He does not end relationships well. Okay, we are going to move on. Yes, to Kamala Harris, the vice president and presidential candidate, is out on the campaign trail, as you know, with her new running mate. They were in Detroit last night when the presidential hopeful ran into something that she's going to encounter for the next few months. So it was very interesting to see how she handled it there. And we've been talking about this, even outside of politics, that pro-Palestinian protesters have been showing up at lots of events, entertainment events, at concerts. They're going to be in Chicago next week, definitely in Chicago. And school opens very soon, and the college campuses are going to be filled in. We go back to that. So how does Kamala Harris handle it? This, we got a little view into how she may be handling it in the coming months, based on what she did last night in Detroit. I'm here because we believe in democracy. Everyone's voice matters, but I am speaking now. I am speaking now. I intend to end the Affordable Care Act. You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking. That tactic is not going to work. It's not going to work. It's not the proper approach, right? But you do have to be able to get a speech out without being interrupted. It's going to be a difficult thing for her to do. She has incredible enthusiasm among the vast majority of people who are willing, for now, to shout down the protesters. But that's not always going to work. It's not going to be an effective long term. Well, and also, do you just ignore it? Because if you started addressing them, now you're down that road. She's got a problem with this. I mean, she's got a problem with this. I mean, look, it reminds me, and I'm sorry for going way back in time, but I was alive then. It reminds me of 1968, when Lyndon Johnson withdrew, but Hubert Humphrey was stuck with LBJ's policy in the Vietnam War, and he couldn't get through that campaign without this. So I've actually seen this movie before, and you can't just say, "I'm speaking now," and they're going to shut up. It's not going to affect. It may actually make them say even more. Absolutely. The old TV show "Lost in Space." Yes, totally. You're going to say it. I wanted to go, "Lost in Space." Which is easy for us to make jokes, but-- Name the lead actress. Oh, I cannot remember that. June Lockhart. June Lockhart? Who was the mother in Lassie? Yes. Oh, I know. Okay, we've gotten a little bit off the topic, and if you're the astronauts, two astronauts, in particular, aboard the International Space Station, you're not joking about what is going on with Boeing, because now these two astronauts may be on the space station until next year. This was supposed to be an eight-day mission. Now I feel like Gilligan's Island. It was an eight-day mission. An eight-day mission that started in June, and now best-case scenario ends in February, and these guys planned on being there for about a week. I mean, this is unbelievable. And-- So this is the Boeing Starship that-- It's the first Boeing ship that went up and problems. Yeah, hydraulic problems, all these problems that are preventing it from coming back down. I don't know. If you're Boeing, this is the last thing that Boeing wants to hear. This is the worst thing for Boeing, in addition to all the problems they've been having with their planes with the doors flying off and the windows coming out and everything. Now this, they're probably going to lose their NASA contract, I imagine. It's a great look for SpaceX, though, because that's how the astronauts are maybe going to get back in February, so-- So Elon Musk saves the day. Yeah, honestly. Otherwise, they would just live there forever, I guess. So, Eric Steyer, because I forgot, now we talked about this in the morning meeting today, that they didn't have enough food, obviously, for months and months and months. I mean, they could be up 9-10 months. So they're getting food from the space station, where they're able to kind of shuttle that back and forth. Yeah, we were saying it's kind of like space door dash or postmates or something. They're sending food to them, because they do have, obviously, food on the space station, but it's allotted for a certain number of people for a certain amount of time, and adding two extra people is clearly a huge drain to go from eight days to maybe five or six months. So, yeah, they got to send food. They're sending astronauts up to the space station soon, so I'm assuming they're going to be sending a dish supply. That's the next astronauts to come up, we'll have. But those transport ships don't have enough space to take them back, so that doesn't help in that sense. They're still going to be there till probably next year. This is such a mess. You know when they always say when a new car comes out, you should never use it. Never buy the first year. But you would hope that exactly as if it'd been going up for 60 years. Right, and also by the time they're actually using it, they've tested it several times, so you would think that doesn't apply, but I have a feeling that's what those two astronauts are thinking. I mean, can you imagine we have to be on the first stage? Can you imagine, though, the phone call that the CEO of Boeing got saying, you know the thing we have with the planes? We got it in space, too, and it's like, "Oh, God." Hi, this is Dami while calling it in from Brooklyn. And about those two astronauts stranded in space, I mean, I've got anxiety for them. I'm absolutely terrified. Can you just imagine what you'll be thinking psychologically? Because you obviously know as an astronaut what that means to your body, what that means for your mind, all of those different things. So, you know, it's almost like it's a space cosm of what's happening right now on Earth, where we're all going through this kind of anxiety. But imagine going through that off-world on, like, a different planet. That's crazy. By the way, it's eight months, and they had to break it to them yesterday. They literally had to break it to them, and they did it where you could actually hear it. Can you imagine hearing, and you know that this is, like, other people are going to see this, and so your reaction has to be sort of like, "Oh, it's okay. No problem." Oh, we're working out. And as soon as that communication goes down, I don't know what you, you don't want to break anything. Yes, who worked something out. Travis Scott? Yes, worked out a little bit of a break for himself, or at least his lawyers did. The authorities in Miami have dropped one of the charges from that Miami yacht incident, which showed you where he ended up getting into a shouting match, getting into an argument with some members of the crew of a yacht. I mean, he got arrested, but one of the charges has been dropped, and that is the public intoxication. And actually, we talked about that. We did talk about it, and remember I said it didn't make sense to me? Right. And so what had happened, he got into this argument, and then the police came. They told Travis, they separated them. Travis left, but then he came back and tried to get on the yacht, and the police stopped him. He said, "I have to go get something that I left." They stopped him, and then when things got heated again, that's when he got arrested. And it didn't feel like the typical public intoxication that we've seen in the past. There wasn't a breathalyzer, and they were like, "Why did they think he was drunk?" So they've dropped that charge, however they are proceeding, prosecutors are, with a trespassing charge. It's a misdemeanor. There's a trial set for September. I can't imagine that he's going to go stand trial for trespassing. Welcome back to TMZ Live. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon will have at least, I'm sure they'll have more than this, but at least one person very, very interested in a new movie that they're producing. It is a movie about Gawker and the lawsuit that Hulk Hogan filed against the now defunct website. So you may remember this lawsuit where there was a sex tape involving a Hulk and the wife of a friend of his, and there were some epithets mentioned during the in the tape. One in particular. And somehow Gawker got hold of it, and they published it, and he sued for invasion of privacy and won over $100 million. It was reduced. They settled it for $31 million, but it was enough to tank Gawker. So a book was written and now Matt and Ben are going to produce a movie based on the book, which you get why they would do this. It's kind of actually, it seems like a good formula that they found. Now things related to sports. We know they're both big sports fans. They made the Nike Air Jordan movie, and now they found this story, and they're going to make a film out of it. But Hulk Hogan, how does he feel about this? Yeah, because I would imagine I actually heard Hulk Hogan describe this as the darkest period of his life, and now it's going to be brought to the big screen. And just one thing that the word we were given that describes how he feels about this right now, the word is indifferent. But if this movie gets into the territory of things that made him win the lawsuit, he is going to pursue legal action. I've got to imagine that Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and everyone else who may be associated with this project, they've got to be very well aware of that because we know Hulk has, he's got a track record, he will sue, and he can win, and we saw what happened last time. Like, how's Gawker doing right now? So I think that Ben and Matt here, they have got to tread very carefully. But how do you do it without it's the core of that story? It seems like a minefield to me, and it's a really interesting story. It goes without saying. I just don't know how they're going to, if they are going to make this movie, how do they do it in a way that doesn't upset Hulk Hogan, I don't think it's possible. And I get why Hulk would be upset about it. But if it's truthful, if the movie tells the story, and it is accurate to what came out in court, and all of that, and what happened actually on the tape, how, what, I don't know what legal standing has to go after that. You're right. But here's the argument. You're right. If it's a defamation case that he's looking at, truth is a defense. You're right. But this is not about truth. This is about privacy. And what he sued Gawker for was not that the tape was inauthentic. They sued him for invasion of privacy. So now the issue, it was a public trial. It was introduced into evidence. So now the question, can Matt and Ben basically recreate it saying we're doing this based on public record, or does this simply double down on a violation of a right to privacy? They can also do it without showing if the only issue is really showing how do you do it or reenact it? How do you do it? How do you do that? It's bizarre. I don't know, maybe they can, but it seems like that is the core of the whole story. They made the Air Jordan story and you never saw Michael Jordan. That's fair. And maybe that's what they're getting at. Right. One of the reasons we know that Hulk is kind of over all of this is that he has apologized for what he did. He's got a new wife. He's become very spiritual. And he has moved on with his life. And although the word we got back was indifferent, you got to think that this bugs him, right? Yeah, it's not something that he wants to do. Like you said, and especially if he feels he's put it behind him, have it brought up on the big screen. Yeah, I get why he wouldn't be happy about it. I really do feel for Hulk. It's a similar situation that Pamela Anderson had when Netflix brought out Pam and Tommy. Like he does not need this to be unearthed. And we've got a similar situation in the UK as well with baby reindeer. Like, there's just not something that needs to be brought back up. And I think that they should respect that his privacy remains his. And if he doesn't want it out, then it should leave it there. Sounds like they're making the movie. Yeah. Sounds like they're making the movie. Okay, we're going to move on. Yes, to Kate Blanche. Yeah, speaking of movies, speaking of really big blockbuster movies, and how much they pay sometimes. What do you think she got? 10 million dollars for Lord of the Rings, you think? I mean, Lord of the Rings is a huge franchise. Money? Well, Kate Blanche was talking about her time making the Lord of the Rings movies when she was on Watch What Happens Live last night. Now, Andy Cohen is the one who sort of assumed that that's where she got her biggest payday. The exact opposite, according to Kate. What film that you've done has gave you the biggest paycheck? I think it's probably Lord of the Rings. Are you kidding me? Oh, really? No, no, I got paid anything to do that. Oh, did you get a piece in the back end? No! What? That was way before any of that, you know, no, nothing. What was the movie that was your voice? I wanted to work the guy who made brain dead. I mean, I basically got free sandwiches. And I got to keep using them. Which is something they fed me. Yours are huge. No, it's all trying to feed it. What would you think it would be? No, well, very not very often. I mean, women don't get paid as much as you think they did. This is insane, you guys, because these movies brought in so much money. So the first Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring, earned more than 800 million dollars in the box office. And then the follow-ups, the two towers and Return of the King, each brought in about one billion dollars. However, I did some digging on this. So they actually filmed these three movies all together. So when the cast originally made their deal, you know, they weren't sure if this movie was going to be a big thing. So maybe that's why they didn't get a whole lot of money. But then, I mean, how sucky is that when you realize on the back ends, like, wow, I'm, I missed out on a lot of money there. Hi, my name is Sebastian Soto and I'm in Los Angeles. And girl, what is the my precious is going on here? How are you going to tell me one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood gave you free sandwiches? Well, listen, girl, I hope at least they were really good sandwiches. You know, the bougie kind. And now the Jennifer Lopez ham and cheese, my bag of chips and orange drink, if you know, you know, okay, listen, it is so unfair, the difference in pay. That's what I've got to say. Well, I'd like you to talk for about another five minutes of time because I'm really entertained. Very entertained. Well, our next guest has found a way to combine some things that you probably wouldn't put together, starting with rock and roll, board games, or even fantasy games. And fame. And fame. Because Jackie Fox is famed as the bassist for the Runaways. And she is now found a way to take her life in that band and all the wild things that happened while she was in the Runaways and now put it into a board game. It's called rock hard 1977. And it is all about how you make it into the business. And with all the pitfalls, as well as all of the, you know, the stuff you know, sex drugs and rock and roll. We should all there. This game is caught fire. I mean, people are buying this thing. Like lining up at a recent convention, a gaming convention, sold out in like 20 minutes. People were lined up around the corner trying to get their hands on one. So joining us right now, the author, what do you call it, when you're the creator? The creator of a very, very unique game, Jackie Fox. Welcome back to TMZ Live. Hi, guys. It's good to be here. It's great seeing you again. So why don't you kind of give us the reader's digest version, how this works? Because as I understand it, it's a very complicated, the rule book is like 23 pages. Well, because it's very specific so that you don't have to stop and Google the answer to things. So I'm one of the people that likes a longer rule book. I'm probably in the minority, but it's pretty cohesive. And you are in a band in 1977 trying to make the big time and become the best new artist of the year. So over nine months, you're going to rehearse to improve your chops. You are going to do interviews to get a better reputation. You're going to play gigs. You're going to write some original songs. And after hours, you're going to hang out and try to meet people who can help your career. And at the end of those very rounds, whoever is the most famous wins. There are things while you're hanging out trying to meet people who are going to help you make it in the biz. There are a lot of pitfalls along the way. Managers who steal from you, addiction to drugs and alcohol, does all that play in there as well? Yeah, it does. I mean, there is candy in the game, which is a way of getting extra actions at the risk of long-term consequences. So it can be drugs if you want it to be. It might not be. It's basically anything that you use to lean on when times get a little tough. So it doesn't have to be drugs. But we should just explain. So it's not like you're putting drugs on the board. It's candy, Harvey. Candy. Candy. And you might get a sugar crash if you don't satisfy your credit. Exactly. Exactly. So Jackie, when I was reading about the game, it seems to me, and then for folks who don't know, and if they're Japanese fans, they know that you are a four-time champ or so you definitely have your trivia down. But you didn't, interestingly, didn't put trivia into this. And it feels more like the game of life combined with maybe like Dungeons and Dragons, which I didn't play. But from what I've heard, there's a bit of fantasy that's involved in it as well. And then there are actual real-life experiences mixed in there because you've based some of the characters on people you know in rock and roll, correct? Yeah, I kind of mashed up a lot of people that I knew and made these people that were very real to me. So I can look at them and go, yeah, there were people like that around when I was playing music. And some of them might have gotten famous. So you may not be able to think of an Asian-American rock star from that era, but they were there. There were people of all types in the music scene. So I wanted to pay a little homage to them and put them in the game and make it a little less. It's white dudes going rock and roll. Hi, Jack, it's Derek. How are you? Hi, Derek. He heard us say "Jeopardy!" and he came running out. He's totally fending out. I knew you were here and I want to know when am I getting invited over for Game Night? I want to play this thing with you. We'll bring over a couple of the trivia gang. We'll all get together when you're over COVID, of course, yeah. Yeah, I think he would like me not to have COVID when you come from over. Yeah, oh, by the way, we should mention that Jackie is being an incredible trooper sticking coming in to do this when you are under the weather with COVID, which is interesting because I know you were developing this game a long time ago and then the pandemic ended up derailing that. So sort of full circle? Yeah, well, I got ready to start play testing this game right when the Delta wave hit and I couldn't really go out and do it. So I just played it myself, like a hundred times, and I got to really know how the ins and outs of this game. So it was fine, but this convention was the first time I've been out without a mask. Well, congratulations on the game and get better. By the way, I just thought that you were doing a story on Kanye about... Oh, yeah, we talked about it. Yeah. With nitrous. And I will tell you, I have nitrous does absolutely nothing to me. I mean, nothing. Like, I had a dentist try using him. He's like, okay, let me know when you feel something. Like, do you have it on? Is it even on? And he's like, yeah, I'm turning it more. It's like, I don't feel anything. He's like, I got it all the way up as high as it will go. Jackie, that's the most rockstar thing you've ever said. Is that nitrous has no effect on you? That makes you. Right. I gotta say, Jackie, that's amazing. I rock in the 70s. Nitrous ain't gonna do it for me. Hey, Jackie, thanks so much. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me on. Kim, can you, I'm not feeling up to tormenting Derek today, but if you can... Oh, don't worry. We'll handle it. We've got that. We got that. Thank you, Jackie. Nelly had a big windfall and a gambling establishment, I like to call them casinos. But he was gambling at Hollywood Casino in St. Charles, Missouri. Of course, you know, Nelly's from St. Louis. This is outside of St. Louis. Hit the jackpot. He had a big jackpot and went to go collect his money when a police officer came over and said, "Well, we gotta run a background check." And they ran that background check and found... Oh, this is a heinous crime, by the way you're about to hear. Wow. Lain it on thick there. Outstanding warrant for driving without... Proof of insurance. So he didn't have a proof of insurance card. Right. He didn't have proof of insurance. Apparently, he just forgot about it when he had been stopped for whatever and they issued an arrest warrant. So they arrest him in the casino. Now, this is where things... And then they search him. They search him because you know when you don't have insurance. Well, the problem is, once you're arrested, you're going to get searched and the officers say that they found, I believe, four... Ecstasy capital. Ecstasy tolls on him and he was arrested. For drug possession. He wins in addition to the warrant. He wins a jackpot and gets arrested for drug possession because of an insurance card. His attorney thinks that this was just a rogue cop who had it out for Nelly. So he has not been charged yet. He was just booked for the drug possession and also... The warrant for driving without proof of insurance. And I'm not saying it's right to drive without insurance, but it's just weird to me that you win at a casino. I mean, if you want to check tax records, fine. But why are you doing arrest records on somebody who legally wins a jackpot? It just makes no sense to me. My name is Kyla. I'm in Atlanta. And of course, I'm on Nelly's side. I love the fact that he's back with a shaunty, but that's another point. So if you're going to run a background check on someone and it comes back for a ticket, a traffic ticket, that's ridiculous to me that you would arrest him. It's not like he's on a warrant for murder or something like that. And it's just ridiculous. You don't go to this casino to get arrested. You go to win big just like Nelly did. So I'm rooting for him. Yeah, I... Or you just go to make a donation like when I go. Right. All right. Or what you know when I go to the casino. Okay, we're at that time of the week. Yes, your favorite time of the week. Tim is here with his rejects. Please, nothing about casinos, Tim. No casinos here. So dogs want to have just as much fun as humans, right? This is true. True. And they tend to have more fun. More fun. So this is pretty cool. So here's a dog here wants to go down a slide with its owner. What do you mean it wants to go down? You don't know it wants to go down. Well, I'm sure this isn't the first time after the end. I'm having fun shaking the tail. Next. Okay. Sometimes your phone falls out of your pocket. So luckily for this person, they were at an amusement park. The phone fell off on the platform, which is great. The employee was there with the handle there. Looks good. And it drops it. Of course, drops it right into the gap there. Tim, if the roller coaster hit it, that would be really interesting. A phone dropped into a ditch or something. Why are we doing this? Well, the phone, it was funny. It was almost saved. And then it did not get saved. And then it fell through the gap. And they lost the phone. I don't call. So you heard that once and didn't like it. I don't call it. Tim's rejects for nothing. Okay. Big, big, big thing. Huge finish. Okay. So parkour can be dangerous, as you know, but it also can be fun. If you're really good at it, check this guy out. He's running and going to jump and then onto the little box there. He clips his back, but seems like he is okay. So holding his head. Yeah, but you see there. Oh, he's got a man's bun, though. Can you workshop this for next week? Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. I thought it was pretty good, but all right. Sure, Tim. Thanks. Great to disagree. Thanks, Tim. He's the nerve to pump his fist after the night. I know, that's unbelievable. As if you want a medal or something. Wow, I'm going to throw my phone into a ditch. Next week. I think Selena Gomez got exactly what she wanted. And I'm not talking about an engagement ring, although I'm not sure that you're not talking about an engagement ring. What I think she got is she got people talking about the fact that she and Benny Blanco might be engaged because she posted a photo, which on its face, there's not much here, you know, taking a selfie in the mirror, Benny's behind her in maybe their bathroom. Look at her, look at her finger. It's the emojis, those heart emojis that she put right over her hand where a wedding ring engagement ring. So now everyone thinks that she is covering up the engagement ring intentionally. Does Bieber get invited to the wedding? What? Where did that come from? I don't know. And obviously the answer is no. Wow. It's laughing gas. Great. Welcome back. I will see you tomorrow.
