00:00:12.191 --> 00:00:43.048
Hello, homies, and welcome to Easily Entertained with your host, your pop culture sherpa, Maddy McClain, here to guide you through the latest in pop culture, from entertainment news and Hollywood to internet convos, and my latest findings from my doom scrolling adventures that I've been known to dive into here and there, along with a sprinkle of pop psychology, just for good measure, but unlicensed, of course, just unlicensed pop psychology.
00:00:43.048 --> 00:00:47.353
Anyways, we are back from somewhat of a mini hiatus.
00:00:47.353 --> 00:00:50.006
It's been a few weeks and I missed you guys.
00:00:50.006 --> 00:01:02.383
There's been so much going on, not only in the pop culture universe and world at large my favorite phrase to make things sound just a wee bit more intelligent but also in my personal life.
00:01:02.383 --> 00:01:27.150
So today we are talking how I am quietly losing my shit across an array of topics, including Bill Bilicek and his delightfully young girlfriend and the latest ripples and waves that they've made in the media, as well as Lady Gaga's recent concert scare in her record-breaking concert in Brazil.
00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:28.703
We'll get into that in a minute.
00:01:28.703 --> 00:01:44.153
And our biggest topic today, or this week, is Sean P Diddy Combs, because the notorious, the infamous trial that we've been leading into for a while now started this week.
00:01:44.153 --> 00:01:53.412
It began on Cinco de Mayo as well as Met Gala Monday, so the irony has not missed me there and I hope it hasn't missed you either.
00:01:53.412 --> 00:01:54.134
Who knows?
00:01:54.134 --> 00:01:58.912
We're going to talk all about it, so I hope you stick around and enjoy this week's episode.
00:01:58.912 --> 00:02:01.323
Let's get right into it Now.
00:02:01.584 --> 00:02:11.206
We started this new season introducing somewhat of a new topic, or new segment, really, that I like to call Quietly Losing my Shit.
00:02:11.206 --> 00:02:22.323
It's very gracefully named, so we can all hold space a la Ariana Grande and Cynthia from Wicked, and get a little Brene Brown vulnerable together, if you will.
00:02:22.323 --> 00:02:25.510
You can't tell by my immediate use of humor.
00:02:25.510 --> 00:02:29.007
It's like my default setting, really, so it annoys some people.
00:02:29.007 --> 00:02:32.282
So if you don't like that, we probably won't get along.
00:02:32.282 --> 00:02:34.626
All that to say, this is a step nonetheless.
00:02:34.626 --> 00:02:39.322
I'll start off with just like a light seasoning of vulnerability.
00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:43.173
The most recent time that I feel as though I was exposed for the world.
00:02:43.173 --> 00:02:48.403
It was a rainy Wednesday evening and it was about 8pm.
00:02:48.403 --> 00:02:51.588
I have no groceries, nothing in my fridge.
00:02:51.588 --> 00:03:00.210
I mean, if the gun to my head, I'm sure I could have put something together, but I didn't have the brain power for that.
00:03:00.210 --> 00:03:04.783
So I decided to go across the way to God's favorite grocery store.
00:03:04.783 --> 00:03:07.586
That would be H-E-B Howard Edward Butt.
00:03:07.586 --> 00:03:17.697
So I took my little self over to H-E-B and I also didn't have brainpower to think of like something healthy and fun and unique to whip together.
00:03:17.697 --> 00:03:24.174
So I just went to the frozen food aisle, as one does, got myself a Rao's frozen pizza.
00:03:24.174 --> 00:03:33.443
Okay, so it's like not, you know, we're not going to DiGiorno's level, although I love me a good DiGiorno's but we got Rao's so frozen pizza.
00:03:33.443 --> 00:03:35.707
Grab myself a bottle of wine, cause why not?
00:03:35.707 --> 00:03:40.305
It was a long week, okay, and remembered that I needed toilet paper too.
00:03:40.305 --> 00:03:41.306
So might as well grab that.
00:03:41.306 --> 00:03:46.802
Something about that combo toilet paper, frozen pizza and a bottle of wine.
00:03:46.802 --> 00:03:50.171
And I also was raw dogging it Like I didn't have a grocery cart or anything.
00:03:51.721 --> 00:03:59.680
Um, was extremely, extremely humiliating, like it was horrifying already for some reason.
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.503
Like walking into your house or whatever in public.
00:04:02.503 --> 00:04:06.129
Like carrying toilet paper, call me whatever.
00:04:06.129 --> 00:04:06.971
I hate it.
00:04:06.971 --> 00:04:09.435
I feel so uncomfortable, I feel so self-conscious.
00:04:09.435 --> 00:04:10.477
Like walking into your house or whatever in public.
00:04:10.477 --> 00:04:11.377
Like carrying toilet paper, call me whatever.
00:04:11.377 --> 00:04:11.598
I hate it.
00:04:11.598 --> 00:04:12.580
I feel so uncomfortable, I feel so self-conscious.
00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:16.923
But that's on social anxiety Anyways.
00:04:16.942 --> 00:04:17.444
So that was really that.
00:04:17.444 --> 00:04:17.786
Felt vulnerable.
00:04:17.786 --> 00:04:18.267
It felt like a big deal.
00:04:18.267 --> 00:04:21.403
I was trying not to pay to make eye contact with anybody, although I could feel it.
00:04:21.403 --> 00:04:30.252
You know what I mean, I could just sense it and of course I was like, okay, perfect, we'll go to self-checkout then to avoid human interaction as much as possible.
00:04:30.252 --> 00:04:32.447
They need to ID you for that bottle of wine.
00:04:32.447 --> 00:04:57.526
So I had to not only you know, have said human interaction, I had to draw more attention to myself and pressing that little button or please remove your ID, and you have to stand there and, anyways, my fault, my fault, but yeah, kind of felt a little bit like vulnerability exposure therapy, if that's a thing I don't know.
00:04:57.545 --> 00:05:03.886
Um, it's pretty evolved and you may ask yourself, wow, how is Maddie McLean so evolved?
00:05:03.886 --> 00:05:04.968
And I'll tell you why.
00:05:04.968 --> 00:05:08.386
Maybe it's because I've entered my thirties, ladies and gentlemen.
00:05:08.386 --> 00:05:14.120
Yes, and they say my frontal lobe is fully developed, allegedly.
00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.047
So that is great and you'd be right for the most part.
00:05:17.047 --> 00:05:27.242
So leads me to say I am, I have to admit I'm quietly I guess not in this case I'm quietly losing my shit over turning 30.
00:05:27.762 --> 00:05:30.267
And I never thought I would be that person.
00:05:30.267 --> 00:05:39.440
I also made it a point to never be that person and I haven't, like, been scared of getting older or hating their birthdays or anything like that.
00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:50.487
And trust me, if you ask anybody who's been around me longer than I don't know a year will tell you that that part I do have down pat.
00:05:50.487 --> 00:05:51.730
I love a good birthday.
00:05:51.730 --> 00:05:55.185
I'm one of those birthday bitches that loves their birthday.
00:05:55.185 --> 00:05:58.153
It's a month Only to those you know really close to me.
00:05:58.153 --> 00:05:59.622
It's a month Kidding Sort of.
00:05:59.622 --> 00:06:01.285
I won't lie to you.
00:06:01.285 --> 00:06:04.230
We're all about honesty here and vulnerability.
00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:05.531
I won't lie to you.
00:06:05.531 --> 00:06:14.721
We're all about honesty here and vulnerability, right, but I have to say it's really a lifestyle.
00:06:14.721 --> 00:06:15.423
Okay, just ask Drake, he knows.
00:06:15.423 --> 00:06:17.045
But I have to say the big 3-0 lore kind of got to me.
00:06:17.065 --> 00:06:22.668
So this time around already, birthdays get you uber reflective and just like thinking about everything in your life.
00:06:22.668 --> 00:06:26.944
For me, like my inner monologue, tends to go quite negative.
00:06:26.944 --> 00:06:33.408
At first we're working on that frontal lobe developing, but yeah, I found myself thinking about that.
00:06:33.408 --> 00:06:37.911
And birthdays, they already tend to force the reflection right.
00:06:37.911 --> 00:06:43.807
But this one, this one feels like a timestamp, like a red flag, like a marker.
00:06:43.807 --> 00:06:51.490
You know a pretty obvious one and you know it had me Carrie Bradshaw, all Carrie Bradshaw-like thinking.
00:06:51.552 --> 00:06:57.009
We always talk about how comparison is the thief of joy, and that's very accurate.
00:06:57.009 --> 00:07:04.557
In fact, that is a large part of most of where the negativity I feel like when it comes to birthdays comes from.
00:07:04.557 --> 00:07:06.785
Is this whole comparing ourselves to others?
00:07:06.785 --> 00:07:11.461
But we always talk about it in terms of comparing ourselves to other people.
00:07:11.461 --> 00:07:12.964
Right, but what about?
00:07:12.964 --> 00:07:13.745
Okay?
00:07:13.745 --> 00:07:22.358
What about when we compare ourselves to ourselves, our past version, our past selves, who we were in the like I don't know?
00:07:22.358 --> 00:07:26.949
For example, you look at a 10th grade picture of yourself and you're like damn, I looked so good.
00:07:26.949 --> 00:07:27.831
What happened?
00:07:27.831 --> 00:07:32.170
That's like a very light, low key version of what I'm talking about, but you get me.
00:07:32.170 --> 00:07:38.874
Or maybe it's the version of ourselves that doesn't really exist yet, but we know we want to be or want to do eventually.
00:07:40.278 --> 00:07:45.730
I find myself doing that these days far more often than comparing myself to other people.
00:07:45.730 --> 00:07:46.552
I still do it.
00:07:46.552 --> 00:07:51.932
I'm not perfect and I'm human, but that can get like very tricky.
00:07:51.932 --> 00:07:54.045
It can be almost just as damaging.
00:07:54.045 --> 00:08:00.464
I feel like if you have a critical inner monologue, like you know myself, I feel like we all do.
00:08:00.464 --> 00:08:02.807
It's all about kind of managing it a little bit.
00:08:02.807 --> 00:08:09.850
You know that was a bit of a past, the blunt past, the thought there but I figured, why not?
00:08:09.850 --> 00:08:11.553
We're easily entertained over here.
00:08:11.553 --> 00:08:16.576
I'm still trying to figure out where to look in the camera, so work with me here.
00:08:16.576 --> 00:08:21.348
So this birthday is we're approaching and my birthday is in April, late April.
00:08:21.348 --> 00:08:23.983
I'm a tourist what up, what up Like myself.
00:08:24.163 --> 00:08:34.428
When I look back on the past few years, I've found myself on somewhat of a roller coaster, taking me in directions that I didn't necessarily want to or plan to go, as life does.
00:08:34.428 --> 00:08:39.147
And there's always that saying, a man or human you make plans and God laughs.
00:08:39.147 --> 00:08:44.384
I used to fully believe that and say that to other people out loud, kind of in a jokey way.
00:08:44.384 --> 00:08:48.111
But the more I think about it, the more I don't like it and disagree with it.
00:08:48.111 --> 00:08:55.360
First of all, I don't think that's God's nature, but it's just the nature of life and I don't think that anybody's, that God's laughing at us.
00:08:55.360 --> 00:09:09.255
I do think if you put too much weight into your plans and hold on to them really tightly and you only want it to go the version you see it going yeah, maybe God will giggle, because that's us just trying to be him a little bit.
00:09:09.255 --> 00:09:10.277
You know what I mean.
00:09:10.277 --> 00:09:42.625
And nobody wants me, nobody wants me to play that role and nobody asked either, fully aware, in particular, if I could take you down briefly in the last, this five-year cycle of the beginning of COVID, let's go 2020, right, I made plans and in that moment of time and I believed that God was laughing at me, because I was fresh out of semi fresh out of college, I'd been working in an ad agency for three years and I was already feeling burnt out.
00:09:43.647 --> 00:09:45.309
So, number one.
00:09:45.309 --> 00:09:51.914
But I immediately jumped into that corporate game and I was so down to will just be competitive.
00:09:51.914 --> 00:09:52.977
We're taught that too.
00:09:52.977 --> 00:10:00.381
It's natural for all of us to then compete and, you know, be the whole first one in, last one out of the office, toxic bullshit.
00:10:00.381 --> 00:10:06.844
That whole thing led to a quick burnout, and so I was planning just a mini few month long sabbatical.
00:10:06.844 --> 00:10:11.332
I yes, I am lucky to be able to do so, but I had made the plans.
00:10:11.332 --> 00:10:16.673
I was going to go to Southeast Asia, yada, yada, and the day came for me to quit my job.
00:10:16.673 --> 00:10:27.456
So I quit my job at the agency and the very next day I shit you not was when COVID shut offices down for the next foreseeable future.
00:10:27.456 --> 00:10:32.369
But at the time, remember, we thought we'll just wait it out.
00:10:32.369 --> 00:10:45.441
It's only a matter of time, yeah, but the beautiful part of that is that it did come all around and I did make my Southeast Asia sabbatical trip, and it always happens in the right timing, you know, it just takes.
00:10:45.441 --> 00:10:56.812
It takes more time to look back and be able to see why maybe not why, but how that thing that didn't go your way led you to the thing that was supposed to go your way.
00:10:56.812 --> 00:10:58.216
You dig.
00:10:58.477 --> 00:11:05.774
Then I moved back home to Austin and then found myself another job and it was perfect on paper and I really did learn a lot.
00:11:05.774 --> 00:11:13.706
I'm so grateful for that job, but I use the same habits and lifestyle that just put me right back down the path to burnout again.
00:11:13.706 --> 00:11:21.940
So we left and we're trying freelancing in this podcast and we're trying something new, and I think I was kind of having my quarter life crisis.
00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:30.783
So if you're in a place in your life where you don't know what's next or you're not sure, but what you are sure of is that it's something different, I'm with you.
00:11:30.783 --> 00:11:34.351
I'm with you and something fun I think I might add on.
00:11:34.351 --> 00:11:37.307
And if you follow me on TikTok, maddie is easily entertained.
00:11:37.307 --> 00:11:46.543
I'll be putting more stuff on there, but I was thinking about sharing some of the things I'm learning from the career coach and it's almost like a life coach therapist.
00:11:46.543 --> 00:11:48.187
I mean, I've gone to therapy for like seven years.
00:11:48.187 --> 00:11:50.272
Believe it or not, it uses all of that.
00:11:50.272 --> 00:11:53.966
So she was recommended by my therapist.
00:11:53.966 --> 00:11:56.870
So you were really getting vulnerable, yeah.
00:11:56.870 --> 00:12:13.610
So I just really wanted to get real with you and let you know that I'm in that place right now where I'm not entirely sure what to do, and right on the heels of a birthday when you're like thinking about oh my God, what did 16 year old me picture as 30 year old version of me?
00:12:13.610 --> 00:12:17.547
And I can tell you it was a little bit different than from what's happening now.
00:12:17.547 --> 00:12:27.211
But that's also the beauty of growing older and maturing is frontal lobe developing and I now have the ability to see that.
00:12:27.211 --> 00:12:46.082
You know, get a little wiser and see that maybe things aren't happening to us, but they're happening for us and whether you believe that because of a higher power or the universe or ourselves or whatever it is, once you shifted to that thinking, it's made shit a whole lot easier for me.
00:12:46.182 --> 00:12:50.672
I spent in between I mean really leading up to launching this podcast.
00:12:50.672 --> 00:12:58.426
I was terrified of putting myself out there and this has always been something I want to do, like I was that kid that had her, I had like a comp.
00:12:58.426 --> 00:13:00.951
Whatever my model shots, I wanted to be an actress.
00:13:00.951 --> 00:13:03.403
Okay, that's where I was getting at.
00:13:03.403 --> 00:13:10.663
And then life kind of just scared me away from putting myself out there, which is not uncommon.
00:13:10.663 --> 00:13:47.695
After coming out of a really painful time of my life, after I moved back like 2022, I fell into a very toxic, emotionally abusive relationship and now I can say and as crazy as this may sound, I am so grateful for that experience and for how I learned so much about myself, and it's all about how you then use that to react and alchemize that kind of thing.
00:13:47.695 --> 00:13:56.818
Anyways, I'm getting way outside of the topic of easily entertained, so we're going to bring it right back.
00:13:56.999 --> 00:14:08.062
But after getting through that really reflective in my thoughts, in my feels, time period leading into turning 30, I had so much fun with a bunch of my girlfriends.
00:14:08.062 --> 00:14:17.778
We went out to Fredericksburg some wineries out there that's in Texas for those that don't know, and so we're not really known for wine or wine making by any means.
00:14:17.778 --> 00:14:21.735
I think they get some imported, but it's still not until you try it.
00:14:21.735 --> 00:14:23.594
I was quite surprised.
00:14:23.594 --> 00:14:25.779
It'd been a long time since I'd gone to these wineries.
00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:28.674
Quite good and it's always refreshing.
00:14:28.674 --> 00:14:31.120
Well, I don't know about refreshing or relaxing, but it's.
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:36.881
It is refreshing for your soul and a ton of fun to go on a girl's trip.
00:14:36.881 --> 00:14:39.072
Girl's trips are the best and girls are the best.
00:14:39.072 --> 00:14:44.469
Yay, woo, woo, woo, rah, raw, raw, shish goomba, something else that's pop culture.
00:14:44.509 --> 00:14:52.985
Adjacent that's been making me quietly lose my shit lately is one of the latest of Trump's tariffs.
00:14:52.985 --> 00:15:01.417
While this is not at all not at all the most important like probably the least important this is a pop culture podcast after all.
00:15:01.417 --> 00:15:04.350
So he's now coming for our movies.
00:15:04.350 --> 00:15:14.554
Hollywood is in a panic after Trump proposed 100% tariffs on all films US films that are produced outside of the US.
00:15:14.554 --> 00:15:17.260
Now, this is exactly what he said.
00:15:17.260 --> 00:15:29.381
Mr Trump said he had authorized Jameson Greer, the United States trade representative, to begin the process of taxing any and all movies coming into our country that are produced in foreign lands.
00:15:29.381 --> 00:15:35.879
Mr Trump added this is a concerted effort by other nations and therefore a national security threat.
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:51.059
Okay, the Motion Picture Association, which represents the biggest hollywood studios in washington, declined to comment, as is often the case with mr trump's declarations on social media, it was not entirely clear what he was talking about.
00:15:51.059 --> 00:15:59.442
Did he mean any movie, including independent foreign language films, art house cinemas or movies playing exclusively on streaming services?
00:15:59.442 --> 00:16:00.413
Time will tell.
00:16:00.975 --> 00:16:03.812
This is is from a New York Times article I just read from.
00:16:03.812 --> 00:16:12.033
Now, majority of American films are actually made outside of the US Produced that is.
00:16:12.033 --> 00:16:14.197
So it gets a little bit.
00:16:14.197 --> 00:16:25.436
I guess the way they're slicing and dicing it is a little bit of like word salad Everything outside of the cameras rolling, filming, you know, on location, on set part.
00:16:25.436 --> 00:16:34.402
So like the scripting, casting, you know, things like that pre production that usually, at least for American films, does happen in the States.
00:16:34.402 --> 00:16:45.245
But it's the filming part that most people will choose, or major companies will choose, to film outside of the US for well, one big reason really money.
00:16:45.245 --> 00:16:56.885
But some countries like UK, hungary, australia, new Zealand and Canada and among others, will also offer tax incentives.
00:16:56.885 --> 00:16:59.238
So major incentive to do so.
00:16:59.551 --> 00:17:01.866
And there is this is taking away jobs.
00:17:01.866 --> 00:17:17.193
Obviously, if you're moving something to another country, that's a way generally from American jobs, but it is taking away middle, the middle class portion essentially of those jobs, like camera operators, onset designers, makeup artists.
00:17:17.193 --> 00:17:19.438
They called it middle class in this article.
00:17:19.438 --> 00:17:30.450
I don't really know about that, but basically not the super majorly you know absorbently paid producers, directors or actors.
00:17:30.450 --> 00:17:31.211
Outside of that.
00:17:31.211 --> 00:17:35.310
Their jobs are of course safe, but you know people that aren't getting paid so much.
00:17:35.310 --> 00:17:36.653
Their jobs are in jeopardy.
00:17:36.653 --> 00:17:46.237
But when I looked into the numbers we've lost, we've lost Hollywood's lost around 15,000 jobs like those in the last.
00:17:46.237 --> 00:17:53.257
It said three years, so like 5,000 a year, comparatively not a ton.
00:17:53.257 --> 00:18:10.499
Hollywood's kind of scrambling and freaking out Budgeting is already a crazy thing, because if you are the movies that are only choosing to film in the U S, usually it's a budget thing and then even still filming here and like in places like LA or wherever, it still does cost a lot here.
00:18:10.499 --> 00:18:18.057
We'll see what happens like that and hopefully we're not seeing the white Lotus filmed at like the Lubbock motel five next season.
00:18:18.057 --> 00:18:22.711
So cross your fingers on that one, although there's like a lot bigger fish to fry.
00:18:22.711 --> 00:18:25.096
Um, just saying.
00:18:25.537 --> 00:18:52.332
Next, in our pop culture news nuggets we have sorry, I just got really into it for a moment over this last weekend Lady Gaga broke records for the highest attended concert by a female artist woo woo women by bringing over 2.5 million fans to a free God bless her free concert at Rio's Copacabana Beach, and this was this last Saturday.
00:18:52.332 --> 00:18:56.098
It was the previous record holder was Madonna.
00:18:56.098 --> 00:19:13.317
It was also a free concert, but Lady Gaga called it mayhem on the beach after her latest album and she, I guess, hadn't performed in Brazil for some time now five, somewhere like five to 10 years and she's got a big Brazilian fan base, obviously.
00:19:13.317 --> 00:19:17.490
I for one, by the way, dying to go to Brazil.
00:19:17.490 --> 00:19:26.240
I had the pleasure of working with a bunch of Brazilians, as in my last job the last corporate job, that is and they were the nicest, funniest people.
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:33.040
I always loved meetings with them, and that's like crazy, who likes meetings?
00:19:33.040 --> 00:19:36.491
Anyways, I'll show you some of the videos of the concert.
00:19:36.491 --> 00:19:45.786
I mean, wow, massive, probably a nightmare if you have a fear of large crowds or like claustrophobia.
00:19:45.786 --> 00:19:49.321
Luckily, everything, everybody was fine, everyone was safe.
00:19:49.321 --> 00:19:53.296
However, it wasn't until the following day, on Sunday morning.
00:19:53.698 --> 00:20:00.358
We learned the next morning from Brazilian police and authorities that they had actually foiled an alleged bomb threat.
00:20:00.358 --> 00:20:21.001
There was a group of people that were planning to set off a bomb at the concert, but the police were able to arrest the suspects and keep things really under wraps because the arrest happened the day before or the day of the concert and they decided not to tell people in order to make sure everyone remained calm and to avoid panic.
00:20:21.001 --> 00:20:22.250
I don't, I don't know.
00:20:22.250 --> 00:20:29.873
I definitely don't have to make those kinds of major decisions like that, but I don't know if I knew about that.
00:20:29.873 --> 00:20:34.751
I feel like I'd want to know about that, because what if they didn't get everybody, but they did?
00:20:34.751 --> 00:20:37.576
They did Hallelujah and I'm like mean that.
00:20:37.757 --> 00:20:48.730
Unfortunately, this is something that us in the United States are not foreign to and, unfortunately, same for around the world in terms of concerts.
00:20:48.730 --> 00:20:54.230
For example, just last year, taylor Swift, a similar thing happened to her concert in Vienna.
00:20:54.230 --> 00:20:57.681
That was foiled, but they canceled the concert and that didn't move forward.
00:20:57.681 --> 00:20:59.990
Different circumstances, different situation.
00:20:59.990 --> 00:21:07.435
I suppose At the show they had like over 5000 military and police officer presence at the Brazilian show for Lady Gaga.
00:21:07.435 --> 00:21:10.638
So keeping everybody safe and thank God.
00:21:10.638 --> 00:21:32.420
Really scary and allegedly it was a group of people motivated by hate speech and anti LGBTQ, homophobic beliefs, whatever you want to call them, and luckily everyone was safe and Gaga made a statement that she's very glad and she learned too that the following day about the plot.
00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:37.653
So it's kind of crazy and also, in terms of another concert, almost like mishap.
00:21:38.095 --> 00:21:47.837
I saw some videos on TikTok and Beyonce nearly missed getting literally like bitch slapped by these robotic arms that are part of her show.
00:21:47.837 --> 00:21:51.353
If you look it up it's for the song Ego, I think it is.
00:21:51.353 --> 00:22:01.281
I guess in this particular venue the stage managers or whatever didn't mark her place and luckily she has muscle memory so knew exactly where to stand.
00:22:01.281 --> 00:22:08.037
But where she's standing, cause like these robotic arms of three different robots that were moving around her and like close to her face.
00:22:08.037 --> 00:22:17.412
Um, it's like in this drag portion where it's basically like picture frames surrounding her face moving around, scary, scary and you can actually see the fear in her face.
00:22:17.412 --> 00:22:25.644
And for a performer like Beyonce has done that every day, every day, and can put on like a fake face that you could like see the fear, that was pretty scary.
00:22:25.644 --> 00:22:26.731
You should totally look it up.
00:22:26.731 --> 00:22:31.136
Like nothing obviously happens, but you can kind of tell she's like looking around her frantically.
00:22:31.136 --> 00:22:38.057
Anyways, if I can figure out how to put it on this video, by the time this podcast is out you'll see it on the video.
00:22:38.459 --> 00:22:45.933
All right, now let's talk about one of the strangest celebrity adjacent pairings I've seen in some time.
00:22:45.933 --> 00:22:52.032
Um, that's really dominating the gossip circle right now and that is Bill Belichick.
00:22:52.032 --> 00:22:54.217
Yes, that, bill Belichick.
00:22:54.217 --> 00:23:01.076
And if you're lost again, not a sports podcast, pop culture podcast, but stick with me here.
00:23:01.076 --> 00:23:07.980
Bill Bilicek, if you don't follow sports, has a new girlfriend, by the way, and her name is Jordan Hudson.
00:23:07.980 --> 00:23:23.652
Bill Bilicek is the former coach, head coach of the New England Patriots, best known for his hoodies, his complete lack of facial expressions and, as well as coaching, the one, the only I don't know like.
00:23:23.652 --> 00:23:24.994
Is he like a dinosaur?
00:23:24.994 --> 00:23:27.740
He's like not real Tom Brady.
00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:30.692
That's who to six Super Bowl wins.
00:23:30.692 --> 00:23:37.554
He's basically the NFL's answer to a grumpy grandpa, who also happens to be a football genius.
00:23:37.554 --> 00:23:40.602
He's also 72 years old.
00:23:40.602 --> 00:23:46.776
He is newly single after somewhat of a long-term relationship that ended, I guess, in 2023.
00:23:47.336 --> 00:23:51.744
Enter 24-year-old pageant girl who reads Jordan Hudson.
00:23:51.744 --> 00:24:18.863
So apparently the story goes these two met on a flight back in 2021 and bonded over Jordan Hudson's book that she was reading, a philosophy book, as One Does midair, and he signed her book for her, and they kept in touch via email for a few years and eventually turned into a full-on relationship and potentially also like a workplace relationship as well.
00:24:18.863 --> 00:24:21.999
So Jordan Hudson is now reportedly his new girlfriend.
00:24:21.999 --> 00:24:35.221
She's now posting photos on Instagram, particularly the Halloween costume outfit with 72 year old Bill Belichick as like, like fishermen catching a mermaid fish, which is his girlfriend.
00:24:35.221 --> 00:24:38.213
Yeah, he's doing things, I'll tell you what.
00:24:38.213 --> 00:24:56.451
And now she may be also as unofficial publicist, because when you think who will lead the strategic PR for an NFL team, you think a recently graduated I guess not that recently, but semi some 30, a 24 year old who has most experience in the pageant world.
00:24:56.451 --> 00:25:06.499
I'm sure she's smart and that's great, but it seems like a strange fit for, you know, an ex for a major NFL Titan coach like Bill Belichick.
00:25:07.401 --> 00:25:15.550
Now they started popping up in the scene because of the super awkward, cringy CBS Sunday morning interview that started making the rounds.
00:25:15.550 --> 00:25:16.752
So they were going on.
00:25:16.752 --> 00:25:30.592
They Bill was being interviewed by a CBS morning host, mostly just promote his book, and he's a very private person for the most part, so it's not rare that he doesn't want to share all these details.
00:25:30.592 --> 00:25:34.481
But it's like CBS morning news, which is basically like a layup to a.
00:25:34.481 --> 00:25:37.998
Really, you know, it's a puff piece, they're going to be sweet to you.
00:25:37.998 --> 00:25:39.121
So they asked him.
00:25:39.121 --> 00:25:42.295
You know, here's Jordan Hudson here with you at this interview.
00:25:42.295 --> 00:25:46.001
Like you tell us, you know how did you guys meet?
