Hey, welcome to The TMZ Podcast. You are in for a treat today. We have Netta Rhymes with Fedda in the building.

**Netta Anvar** (0:34)
That's right. Thank you, Branson, for having me on. It's always a pleasure.

**Branson** (0:37)
It's so funny because I never say your last name, so automatically it's Rhymes with Fedda.

**Netta Anvar** (0:43)
Or you could say Netta World Peace.

**Branson** (0:45)
Netta World Peace. Like full world, like World Peace is your full last name?

**Netta Anvar** (0:49)
Yeah, like Metta World Peace.

**Branson** (0:50)
Got you.

**Netta Anvar** (0:52)
The basketball player?

**Branson** (0:52)
It's actually Anvar.

**Netta Anvar** (0:54)
Yeah.

**Branson** (0:55)
Yeah.

**Netta Anvar** (0:55)
Netta Anvar.

**Branson** (0:56)
That's her government name.

**Netta Anvar** (0:57)
Yes.

**Branson** (0:57)
You know, we got to give our government names. Yeah, of course. Well, welcome. I hope everybody had a great 4th of July weekend. We're going to get right into it because what's everyone talking about this weekend other than the 4th of July?

**Netta Anvar** (1:10)
Two words, Newport and Beach.

**Branson** (1:12)
Yes. Well, Newport Beach. But we're going to get to that, which was just anarchy.

**Netta Anvar** (1:18)
Oh, I know what you're talking about. Two words.

**Branson** (1:20)
You're like Newport.

**Netta Anvar** (1:21)
Three words.

**Branson** (1:22)
Not the World Cup.

**Netta Anvar** (1:23)
Taylor and Travis.

**Branson** (1:24)
Taylor and Travis. What internationally is going on that everyone is talking about 24-7? You're like.
The World Cup.

**Netta Anvar** (1:34)
Oh, yes, yes, yes.

**Branson** (1:35)
The World Cup. You're like two words. I'm like World Cup. You're like Newport Beach, which someone in Korea is like, what? What is Newport Beach? We'll get to that though, because you may have actually heard about it because it was all over the internet.
Her and I, Neda, we live near Newport Beach, so we have a lot to say about it.

**Netta Anvar** (1:55)
Yeah, I was born in there. You pretend like you're from there.

**Branson** (1:58)
I live near there right now, so I can talk about it.

**Netta Anvar** (2:01)
You're kind of a fraud, but we'll talk about that later.

**Branson** (2:02)
I am definitely a fraud. Okay.

**Netta Anvar** (2:04)
You're a county fraud.

**Branson** (2:05)
Yes, yes. Well, okay, so the World Cup, Donald Trump is now getting involved.

**Netta Anvar** (2:11)
Yeah, so this is very interesting. I don't know how I feel about it as an American that, well, wants my team to win, wants our country to win, but also, I care about justice and fairness. And so, what do you think? Do you think that what he did was interference, inappropriate interference into maybe like a sphere that isn't his?

**Branson** (2:34)
Well, to give you some context, so Folarin Balogun, he was playing during a game recently, and there was a moment that drew a red card. Now, it is one of the most debated moments in sports history on whether or not this was intentional. Red card is like in basketball, like a foul or where they go foul, like you're out of the game, whatever it is, like that's what this is. So he was suspended for one game after this. We're showing the photo right now of what exactly happened.
If you watch the play though, you'll see our player, by the way, one of our best players, which is what makes it so crazier, top scorer.
Are we playing this video right now? We cannot play the video, but you know, copyright and all. And they step on, he steps on his ankle. Oh, look at that. So he steps on his ankle and in slow motion, it looks like it could be intentional. But in my opinion, I don't think this is intentional. And Donald Trump doesn't either. So let's go to what Donald Trump had to say about this. We're gonna play, Donald Trump got involved. Here you go.

**Donald Trump** (3:45)
And that wasn't a foul, that wasn't even an infraction. That was two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other. You can't take your foot and properly place it on somebody else's foot when you're going. No, these were two great athletes that got tangled up. And this referee, who is a little bit suspect.
If you check his past, I don't want to say that because I don't like to create controversy, but very suspect.
