Hey, welcome to the TMZ Podcast. I'm Branson Quirk.

**Neda Anvar** (1:11)
I'm Neda Anvar.

**Branson Quirk** (1:12)
Welcome, Neda. Happy Friday.

**Neda Anvar** (1:13)
Thank you for having me on again.

**Branson Quirk** (1:14)
Of course, absolutely. I love when you have me on. I love when you come on, but you're never around. You're always running around. If you don't know, Neda, you're very busy here. She's in the office. She's outside. She's in Hollywood. She's doing the tours. You do everything.

**Neda Anvar** (1:26)
On the Boulevard, on the bus.

**Branson Quirk** (1:27)
On the TV show. Yeah. You're very good on the TV show, by the way.

**Neda Anvar** (1:31)
You're crazy on the TV show.

**Branson Quirk** (1:32)
I'm a big fan of you on the show.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:33)
Me? You think I'm crazy?

**Neda Anvar** (1:34)
I'm a big hater of you on the show.

**Branson Quirk** (1:35)
I say a lot of things that most probably, you know, people that lean a little more.

**Neda Anvar** (1:41)
You're a professional rage baiter, and I love it.

**Branson Quirk** (1:43)
I wouldn't say it's all rage bait. I'd say these are real thoughts. Stop!

**Neda Anvar** (1:46)
Please don't be real thoughts.

**Branson Quirk** (1:48)
No, I'm just kidding around. Anyways, we have a variety of stories today.
As we've been reporting on, we've been following this Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton case, this story. I mean, it's not a case because he's never been arrested. He's never been charged. Did you see some of this?

**Neda Anvar** (2:03)
I read them all yesterday.

**Branson Quirk** (2:05)
Very disturbing, by the way.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:07)
It was hard to read.

**Neda Anvar** (2:08)
And it's so weird how normal the conversation is. And it's a conversation between friends, almost, that you would have with your friends. But the topic is so horrible.

**Branson Quirk** (2:17)
Well, we now have photos from this passenger that accused him of doing some things on this plane. She saw some disturbing details in those chat rooms that he was in.
And we'll show you those photos in a minute here, once we get back to that. And we also have his defense as well, what he's arguing as to why he was on those chat rooms.

**Neda Anvar** (2:37)
How did she see, by the way? How did she see the texts?

**Branson Quirk** (2:40)
We'll get into it. We'll get into it in just a minute. And then we're also gonna talk about what everybody is reporting on. Lindsay Clancy, it's been a lot. It's been a long case. Again, very disturbing how this has gone. Have you been paying attention a little bit?

**Neda Anvar** (2:54)
Super controversial.

**Branson Quirk** (2:55)
Cause everyone's kind of split.

**Neda Anvar** (2:57)
A lot of people believe, it's kind of shocking.

**Branson Quirk** (2:59)
That maybe she did it. Maybe her husband had something to do with it. That's been a big argument. And at first, you're like, that doesn't make sense. He's not on trial. But then you look deep into it and you go, maybe that has some legs. Maybe that has some legs. But jury deliberation is continuing on and a verdict is expected today. Keyword expected. So we're gonna talk about exactly why things are deadlocked right now and how that could be today, maybe. And then we'll finish it off with Hayden Panettiere.
As we had reported, she passed away and now the focus has been on her boyfriend and kind of that past and his dark past. And he's been arrested a few times. Domestic violence back in 2020 with her. And then there's a few times later where he was arrested for, you know, being intoxicated. As of more recent, 2025, he was at a bar in West Hollywood. Hollywood. What is it called again? Barneys. Barneys? Have you never been to Barneys? No, I've never been to Barneys. I don't get out much. But he was under a table, and we have the video.
