This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Hello, hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the naughty but nice show. I'm Rob Schueter with a little bit of a sore voice today, so I'm going to be lying on my friend Mark Lupo from Us Weekly today. Hello, Mark, thank you for joining us. Hey, Rob. I have a sore throat. I know. I know. I wasn't out dancing or singing or shouting or talking.

Your hair's not done today. I know. I checked the show. I looked like a muppet.

Meanwhile, I have a bit of gossip I need from you. I saw you were on the set, the new set of the Today Show. What was that like?

I was. NBC had me on this week to talk with Hoda and Jenna. It was a beautiful set.

And also a beautiful conversation. I talked to Hoda and Jenna. It was a beautiful set and also a beautiful conversation.

I talked to Hoda and Jenna about all things that are going on.

And I asked Hoda about her life in her 50s and if this is the best time of her life.

And she burst into tears.

And she said that sometimes dreams don't come true, but they have come true for her.

I adore this. And then we can reveal, I think, tomorrow, the big guest on the show to reveal the set. Oprah went for a... Oprah. Didn't hear it here. Also, yesterday, I was lucky enough to go up to page six at the New York Post and do their podcast. We hear, I think I was a little too full on. Like, that's probably why I can't speak today. I went in like I was Liza Minnelli. Like, it was full Lady Gaga. And it's a little bit more reserved than our podcast. They have very good information. But thank you for having me. I think Ian or Maggie from Page 6 are going to be joining us here on this show next week or sometime soon. You're all welcome.

What's that I hear? It's the chimes of Big Ben, which can mean only one thing. It means it is tea time.

I need a tea today for my sore throat. So Mark, while I sip my tea, you can spill yours. What's this big cover coming out tomorrow of Us Weekly? What you got?

Okay, Rob, so we have been working around the clock on this story. It is so juicy. Scientology is

back in the headlines, but not for good reasons. Is it ever in the headlines for a good reason?

Not really. Not really. So what have you got brewing? Okay, So Valerie Haney, she is a former member of the church. She is suing the organization and its leader, David Mischavage. And she is accusing them of some really, really, really serious things, which include kidnapping, stalking, human trafficking, false imprisonment libel, and invasion of privacy.

Wow.

Yeah, this is major stuff.

This is major stuff.

Now, I do want to point out the church has denied these charges, and they say that her lawsuit

is totally baseless.
