Hey, welcome to The TMZ Podcast. How you doing, Eric?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:40)
Hey, Branson, how's it going?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:41)
Hey, how you doing, Eric?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:42)
Happy Wednesday.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:45)
You know what song I always think of?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:47)
Not even, just go ahead.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:49)
Nevermind, let's just move on.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:50)
No, go ahead. No, you started it.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:51)
I've been thinking about the song for the last two days, and I need to play it to get it out of my system.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:54)
Okay, what's that have to do with this or me?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:57)
Nothing to do with you.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:58)
All right.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:59)
You know, Cotton Eye Joe?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:00)
Sure.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:00)
If I had been for Cotton Eye Joe.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:02)
No, you don't have to sing it.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:03)
I'd be doing it a long time ago. It's been stuck in my head, dude, for like three days.
That's all.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:08)
Okay.
I mean, sure. I've had a lot of songs stuck in my head over the last few days. I'm a very-

**SPEAKER_2** (1:14)
What song? Like Ariana Grande or something?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:15)
I did have Ariana. Every time we do a story about an artist, or like there's a clip I have to keep watching or something, that song is automatically stuck in my head.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:22)
We can be friends.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:24)
No.
I forget what it was now. Anyway, this is a terrible intro to this podcast, but that's- Branson's back, so you know we got terrible intros now.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:34)
No, no, no. It's when you and I-

**SPEAKER_3** (1:35)
Sorry, Talia's not here, guys, or Netta.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:38)
We are good friends, so our friendship comes out. We're like oil and water.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:41)
We're friends, but you get too close here.
They don't know how close we are. They just think it's just an awkward interaction, when really, this is, I mean, magic's going with this all day. This comes over to your desk and you turn around, and you're just shucking and jiving behind it.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:58)
Hey, that's what I say.
All right, well, let's get to the stories of today. So, The Bachelorette...

**SPEAKER_3** (2:03)
Well, I could already hear the comments, oh, this is, I'm not even talking about news.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:07)
Engagement is important. Okay, so The Bachelorette might be coming back.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:11)
Crazy story.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:12)
Crazy, and people are upset. I just went through some of the comments. Are they? People are upset, yes. There's two sides to this.
We're also going to talk about Taron Egerton.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:22)
Edgerton?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:23)
Edgerton, who played Elton John, if you don't know that name, Elton John. He's on his way up. What do you mean? What's so funny?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:29)
I mean, yeah, no, no, you're good.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:31)
Dude, everybody, you think Elton John when you think Taron Egerton.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:35)
Sure. Yeah, I probably know.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:37)
Like Austin Butler is Elvis.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:38)
Siobhan thinks of the gorilla from the movie Sing.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:42)
Okay. Well, I love that movie.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:43)
Which also, in that, he sings an Elton John song. So again, bringing it back to Elton John.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:48)
Great movie, Sing, Sing 2

**SPEAKER_3** (2:50)
Oh, you would.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:51)
Come on, you don't hate on Sing.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:53)
Yeah. So The Bachelorette possibly coming.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:55)
I'm still promoing.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:56)
Oh, sorry. This is the longest promo.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:59)
And then we're going to get to the end and we're going to talk about an Amazon driver who was fired for not doing the right thing.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:08)
I mean, arguably doing the opposite of any right thing ever.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:12)
They took the shortcut, like, you think about doing something like this.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:14)
That's why you don't take shortcuts, kids.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:15)
But then you don't want to actually do it.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:16)
Never take shortcuts at work.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:18)
All right. So The Bachelorette, starring Taylor, Frankie, Paul, which was canceled a couple months ago, pulled the network because of we did release the video exclusively of Taylor, Frankie Paul attacking her ex Dakota Mortenson, which in that video, the chair hit the child as well.
