Welcome to the TMZ Podcast. Deven here with Courtney.

**Courtney** (0:33)
Hi.

**Deven** (0:34)
I'm glad you're on my right because I think I'm getting old, but I woke up and I almost had to call out today. Because I can't turn to the left. I don't know if I slept wrong.

**Courtney** (0:45)
Oh, so it wasn't-

**Deven** (0:45)
No, I think it might have just been sleeping. I mean, I have been trying to work out, but it literally might just be, I got injured in my sleep.

**Courtney** (0:52)
I get that. If I don't have the right pillow, if it's too, like-

**Deven** (0:54)
Oh, I literally yelped in pain. Yeah, it was embarrassing.
So anyways, if I look, yeah, exactly. So if I look stiff, that is why.
So Mitch McConnell, a new video came out, images of him being stretchered into the ambulance when he was taken from his home. So obviously that's been the biggest story in the world. Yes, it has been. Everyone wants to know, how's he doing? Yep. And it didn't look like well. Bunnie XO, of course, like I knew this was coming. I think I said this, that she was going to go on her podcast. Yep. And talk all about her little hook up in on the 4th of July. So we will play that and discuss.

**Courtney** (1:37)
She's something.

**Deven** (1:39)
Sorry. And then finally, a real housewife of Orange County's kid started a major fire and definitely not good.

**Courtney** (1:49)
No.

**Deven** (1:50)
And we'll get into that at the end of the show.

**Courtney** (1:52)
Yeah.

**Deven** (1:52)
Okay. So for starters, Mitch McConnell. So obviously this has been the biggest story in the United States. He's been hospitalized. Everyone's like, hey, how's this guy doing?
Certain people are saying he's on, you know, there's rumors, right? That he's on life support. Then there's, you know, other politicians coming out being like, oh, I just talked to him for 30 minutes. He's doing great.

**Courtney** (2:15)
Multiple politicians said that they talked to him for 30 minutes. And I'm like, there's not that much time in a day to talk to someone for that long.

**Deven** (2:21)
Right. Right. Yeah. Because I think they compiled it and it would have been like he would have been talking for like 15 hours yesterday.

**Courtney** (2:26)
Marjorie Taylor Greene called his wife a communist spy.

**Deven** (2:29)
Yeah, she's crazy. Yeah, but yeah, that's Marjorie Taylor Greene.

**Courtney** (2:32)
Everyone has their theories on this.

**Deven** (2:34)
Yeah, so the stuff we do know is that he was transported to the hospital. There was a call, Lauren has told me five times, I already forgot, what was the call for?

**Courtney** (2:44)
Unconscious person.

**Deven** (2:45)
For an unconscious person from his home in Washington, DC., and then now we have an image of, you can't really see his face, but I think those are his feet.

**Courtney** (2:56)
We have the video online.

**Deven** (2:57)
Okay, so there is video.

**Courtney** (2:58)
Yeah.

**Deven** (2:59)
So there's video of him being stretchered away, obviously didn't look good.

**Courtney** (3:03)
No. The whole thing is very sad. I know that everyone's like, why is he still not retired? They're blaming his family, be like, he should step down, people need to do something.
Yes, I feel like he should have stepped down. I feel like there's a lot of politicians that stay in their position too long and they may be retired. But regardless, this is very sad.

**Deven** (3:19)
Yeah. I mean, it's obviously super sad. When he was talking and obviously, I don't really know the ins and outs of the political aspect of it, of why people are saying, obviously, he doesn't want to step down because you lose a seat for the Republican Party. And so it's become a whole political thing.

**Courtney** (3:46)
Of course.

**Deven** (3:48)
But I will say, and I don't want to speculate on his health because obviously, his office, who if you want to trust what they're saying, are saying he's receiving excellent care and he's doing okay, but it's like-

**Courtney** (4:00)
They're not giving that much information. They're not saying his current medical condition. They're not saying what caused the medical emergency. They're not saying that much.

**Deven** (4:09)
Totally, and it's very easy to dispel all the rumors and speculation by putting up a little video on social media of McConnell and just being like, hey, I'm doing okay, I'm just recovering or even a photo, nothing.
