Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance in the Hilton Honors app the other day, and yeah, I've got about a billion, which feels excessive, even for me. Just kidding, you can never have too many Hilton Honors points. And I wanna do something iconic this summer, so I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton Honors member, and I might be sending you Paris points, because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

Welcome to The TMZ Podcast. Deven here with Courtney, as always. Hello. Were you, like everyone else, it seemed, had a World Cup fever or no?

**Courtney Doucette** (0:47)
Yeah, it was so much fun.

**Deven Rall** (0:48)
You were into it?

**Courtney Doucette** (0:48)
Yes.

**Deven Rall** (0:49)
So now we can all just go back as Americans and act?

**Courtney Doucette** (0:53)
Until the Euro Cup happens.

**Deven Rall** (0:54)
Well, no, now we can go back to not liking soccer anymore.

**Courtney Doucette** (0:57)
I enjoy it.

**Deven Rall** (0:57)
Oh, do you?

**Courtney Doucette** (0:58)
Yeah, it's fun.

**Deven Rall** (0:59)
There's so many fake soccer fans, though. Half the people don't even know what's going on.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:04)
I mean, I don't really know what's going on, but they're super hot and it's fun to watch.

**Deven Rall** (1:08)
Yeah, fun to watch.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:09)
Any story is fun to watch, though.

**Deven Rall** (1:10)
So the first story we'll talk about today, the FIFA World Cup final was last night, obviously, or yesterday. And obviously, Trump was front and center. So we will talk all about that.
Big arrest over the weekend. The Tate brothers arrested again.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:31)
Not very shocking, but still like, oh my.

**Deven Rall** (1:34)
So, I mean, it's like, I feel like I was having deja vu. I feel like these guys are always getting arrested and extradited, but we'll get in to all the details. And then on Friday, late, I think we broke the story that Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll finalized their divorce.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:49)
Yes.

**Deven Rall** (1:49)
So over the weekend, she showed off what she got in the divorce.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:53)
It is nice.

**Deven Rall** (1:54)
It is awesome.

**Courtney Doucette** (1:55)
I know, very jealous.

**Deven Rall** (1:57)
Okay. So for starters, so the FIFA World Cup was yesterday afternoon, as you corrected me.
It was at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Obviously, it was a big deal because the US was hosting. We flamed out as we always do, unfortunately, so we were not in it.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:13)
No one in North, oh my God, it's Monday.

**Deven Rall** (2:15)
Yeah, it is.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:16)
The American team was in it.

**Deven Rall** (2:17)
No, I know. So it was Spain versus Argentina. The game was kind of uneventful, in my opinion, until the end. Spain scored an extra time.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:26)
On their 20th shot, they finally scored.

**Deven Rall** (2:29)
So yeah, but the one American aspect was Donald J. Trump went to the game.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:36)
He did.

**Deven Rall** (2:36)
President Trump.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:37)
It was announced on Thursday that he was going.

**Deven Rall** (2:39)
Yeah, so I know it's kind of made sense. It was in New Jersey, and obviously, I don't know who at his interest level is in soccer, but I know his son, Baron, like loves soccer.

**Courtney Doucette** (2:49)
Yes, well, he just wants to be a part of it. It's like the biggest thing on like the world stage. So of course he's gonna make it.

**Deven Rall** (2:54)
So they showed him, appeared to show him on the stadium's video boards before they kicked the game off, and he was with Melania Trump, the first lady. Yep, and the president of FIFA. Correct, who he's friends with. And like when any president, I kind of feel like this gets overblown. He got booed or you hear some people booing. I mean, no president is gonna have 100% of people that are behind them. So when they're showed, the people who don't like them are obviously gonna boo.

**Courtney Doucette** (3:23)
Yeah, he was booed when he went to the next game three.

**Deven Rall** (3:26)
Yeah, he got booed pretty bad there. And so, you know, obviously the television, apparently the broadcast switched from a close up to like an aerial shot of the stadium once that started happening.
But you know, it'll always be the spin zone if he even addresses it. Do we wanna play it? Yeah, let's play it.
