Summer is coming quicker for me than it is you. Because I'm going to Australia. That's right. If you are in New Zealand or Australia. I can't even believe I'm saying that. But I, it is a weird thing to say because here's another thing. The audience for this podcast is growing, which, you know, I do everything to have the audience grow. Everything I do is, here's my delusion. Everything I put out there, I think is the thing I'll put out there that someone says, let's make this into a TV show. Let's make this into a movie. Let's make this. I gotta come to your show. I really do have that feeling. That's why I like everything I put out there. I don't put out anything that I don't like that I'm like, afterwards sometimes I watch it after I go, oh, what was I doing at the time? There is dreams being had. So it is cool to see that the daily version of this show is speaking to you. It is my pleasure. So I want to thank you for being a listener of this podcast, this thing I do that I'm sure my neighbors on other side of me are like, does he just Talk to himself every day for an hour. Yeah, I guess I do. Or you know, yeah, it's a little crazy. So Pop Culture Thursday. I'm happy you're enjoying the show. And also, so, yeah, so to get back to where I was rambling. Jared. You're rambling. Rambling Jared Freed. Yeah, go. If you want to know who to bet on in the super bowl, go listen to Ramblin Gamblin Dan, who came on Chit Chat Wednesday yesterday. Great episode. Fun to catch up with an old friend. So I'm coming to New Zealand and Australia. And before I get to New Zealand, Australia, Alpharetta, Georgia, that's gonna be like a workout show. That's gonna be new material that is like kind of the direction I'm going. Since taping the special in December, I would say I have like a, a hot 20. I said it could be a fun 30. Applauding 45. That's what I would call it for my material wise. So I, you know, I put in here and there old jokes that do well to like, keep, keep the air under, you know, under the tent, so to speak. So Alpharetta, Georgia, New Zealand, Australia, and then here's some other dates that are coming. Rochester, Nashville, Tennessee, I'm gonna do a week there. And then Morristown, New Jersey, we're doing a one night thing there in a smaller room. So. Jaredfreed.com for tickets. And here's my other ask of you. I ask a lot of you. That's why I don't, that's why, like, I never really, I tried, but I never really put a lot of effort into the merch stuff. I'm always like, I'm always asking for shit. So I do understand. And we're going to get to the stories. This week's stories as I this week's Pop Culture Thursday is one of those weeks where you understand that we live. You might live in a different pop culture world than the person you're sitting next to. You might live in a different planet socially. What you're worried about, what you're nervous about, because. And again, I do think this is an example for life. You know, how could someone politically disagree with me so much? I think they're living in a different atmosphere than you. I really do believe that because I opened up Page Six and every article has to do with Kanye West's girlfriend being naked on the red carpet. And I didn't at the Grammys, and I didn't even know that was a story. And now that I look at it, Bianca Censori will not face legal consequences for completely see through dress on Grammys 2025 red carpet. I watched the Grammys. I was watching the Grammys and I watched it with the TV sound off. And I am someone who's in the world. I'm. I'm online, I'm reading articles, I'm seeing Twitter. I'm on Instagram. It is Wednesday, February 5th at 2:00pm I had no idea that this was a story. Now I understand. Now let's, let's take a look. Let's look in the mirror. This is page six. This is Kanye West. This is a naked story. That is a clickable headline. I'm here clicking on it. But it was literally the whole, the whole website was all about Bianca Sensory, who all I know is that she's met, is she married, that she's with Kanye west and she looks a lot like Kim Kardashian. That's all I really know about her. I'll read this article again. We'll get into what this. I mean, this is the show. This is the show. Bianca Sensory will not. And I don't even know if I'm saying her last name right, but that's how I would pronounce Sensory with a C Will not face league. I mean, the fact that you were naked on the red carpet of the Grammys, you would think that would be like MTV for a week, like a month. That would be like the top story on I love the 90s. And there would be like some woman in kooky glasses who's like works at Harper's Bazaar. Remember that show? I am now friendly with people who were on that show. It's so weird. Me, I used to love that show. They'd be like, they'd be like, sup? Bianca Sunsori just walks down the. Walks down the red carpet. That was like the. I love the 90s voice. Michael Ian Black. She would. And we're all like thinking like, is she naked? But then it's like a sheer top. But is that naked? Is it not naked? And she got taken away by the police. Like I. That is a story we would have like grown up with known of. And it's like I was in the dark. I had no idea that even happened. Here's. I watched the. The. I was in LA for a, For a. Something's coming. The filming. That's all I can say about it. It's. I'm already sounding like it's too much. But you up podcast. We did a fun branded thing that brought Us out to la. So we go to la and then we do our thing. And then Jordana and I are staying at the same hotel. We go to the bar and, like, let's have. Let's eat some dinner, have some drinks. And what I love about being at the bar, the bar is an American thing to me. It is. It's social. It is. So we're sitting there, some guy starts talking to us. They got the Grammys on tv. They're on mute. But then at one point, Shakira comes up on the tv, and Jordana and I are like, look at Shakira. Like, we are both zoned into Shakira in a way that we're like, how she looks? She looked amazing in a way that you're like. You start counting on your fingers, like, wait, haven't I known Shakira for, like, at least two decades? She's not 20, and she looks 25 here. So we start Googling, how old is Shakira? And I look to my right, and then I hear the people that are next to us, and they're like, how old is she? Is she. And it's like. It's so funny. All 10 people at the bar literally Googling at the same time, how old is Shakira? And I said to the other people, I go, are you guys Googling how old is Shakira as well? And they're like, yes, look at her. And I'm. And we're all. And it's like, all backgrounds, race, religion, you know, you know, sexual, you know, you know, gay, straight, bi. This bar was a waste. Was the. Was America. You sure were in Beverly Hills. So it's a. It's a version, okay? Socioeconomically, we're all able to have a $30 martini. So. But it was like, we're all asking the same question. And I just thought it was one of those things that was just so funny. We all came together to wonder, how the fuck does this woman look so good? So. But that's what's so strange is that. And that's why I don't buy that we're so divided as a country, because we all felt and looked at the same thing and went, what? And it's like, if you were ever to see, like, an Internet commenter, be like, how could you? Who cares how old she is? She's a great artist. That person sucks. That's the beauty. That's when you have to remember. And I don't think our brains are made to understand. I don't think our brains are made to understand that the person going, well, Shakira looks great no matter how old she is. That's. No, no, no, no. That's not human. That's, that's taking a morality. That is. Nah, we don't want to talk to you. The real people are at the bar going, how the fuck does Shakira look that good? And it's so weird to be so close shoulder to shoulder with people that are sitting there wondering the same thing as you and then have no idea that the main story from the event we're watching is that Bianca Censori is naked on the front, on the, on the red carpet. Los Angeles Police Department source told TMZ Monday that no one who that no one who was at crypto.com arena on Sunday evening made any formal complaints about Kanye West's wife. So it's his wife outfit or lack thereof. The source also pointed out that the annual award show is a private event. They show the picture of her. She is as naked as you could be publicly. She looks amazing. I'm not, I mean, I mean, my God, Kanye, you, you are live. I mean this is unbelievable. She looks un. This is like, I mean, I'm sorry, you're, you're, you're catching me live. Lose my breath. While Ms. Sensori's outfit undoubtedly pushed the envelope, a charge of indecent exposure in California requires willful public exposure of one's genitals and with the specific intent to offend or sexually arouse. If this isn't intending to sexually arouse, I don't know what is I I. But okay. LA based lawyer Angela Andrea Guntula explained to Page Six. It's theoretic. Theoretically possible, but unlikely she'll face any criminal prosecution for this incident. A gun, Tola added, noting that the district Attorney's office would make would have to make that call. Both Anschultz Entertainment Group and the Recording Academy had security personnel on site when west and Sori arrived for the music's biggest night. Per TMZ sources connected to the event, organizers went on to insist that the outlet that to the outlet that the rapper turned fashion designer was invited was an invited guest who made it clear he wanted to walk the red walk the carpet. The Easy founder wore his go to all black ensemble with sunglasses and a diamond chain, while Sensory, who went from being his employee to his muse to his spouse. What a sentence employed amused espouse that is a song lyric showed up in a black floor floor length fur coat while posing for photographers. However, the 30 year old turned around and dropped her coat, exposing her entire button. Sheer. In a sheer mini dress. It is. She is wearing something. A lip reader told the Daily Mail that West encouraged sensory to make a scene. Drop it behind you and then turn. He supposedly demanded before she disrobed. She then turned back around and put everything on display. She was not wearing any undergarments. This is. And they show her wild. It is. You know him, I will say this. Kanye is an artist and him walking with her and going from the big fur coat to nothing. It does feel like an artistic display. Like it does feel like he's in on this. I could see it. I. This is a quite an empath. This is a lot of empathy. Page Six was told the couple was attempting to recreate Wes Vulture's one album cover artwork. Again, like there is art. You could see it does look like art the way they're walking together. Which shows the Australian natives standing in nothing but boots while a piece of fabric partially covers her backside. After the jaw dropping display on the Grammys red carpet. We were told, we were told cops escorted them out of the event. Sincerely. Later showed up to an after party in a black see through thong bodysuit. So again, this is one of those stories that would have been like on I love the 90s. We would have talked about it to death. And to the fact that I had no idea. And now look at. I'm going through other headlines. Kanye west and Bianca San story escorted out of the red carpets 2025 by cops after shocking red carpet appearance via source. So then here's an article about them and the article and what was going on. And the other. Again, this is what Page Six does. They go, here's the, here's the title. You know, celebrity naked on red carpet. You're going to click on that and then we're going to just go up from every angle. The angle is they went to a lawyer. Will they get charged? No, they were. So the story is we got to score it out by police. Will they get charged? So that's, that's the article here. Bianca Sensori is covered from head to toe during first outing with Kanye west since Grammys 2025. Which is a whole. This is a hilarious headline too because they're like, okay, don't worry this time. Don't worry. She went to her JetBlue flight. She's wearing clothing now. It's like, of course she is. Bianca censori did a 180 after her and Kanye west shocking red carpet debut two days after posing. And of course. What do you think? This is her thing now. She's going to go everywhere in a sheer dress. She's going to be an era one walking naked. She's going to go pick her up, pick up the kids at school naked. You think this is like, oh, this is that. You think the statement goes on. This is. This is a crazy article. Two days after posing in a see through dress at the 2025 Grammys and wearing a sheer thong bodysuit to an after party, the 30 year old stepped out with her husband in Hollywood, California. Sincerely kept, kept covered in a white jacket. Zipped all the way up Tuesday. Pairing the outwear, pairing the outerwear with leggings and heels. Yeah, she looks amazing. You didn't have to. Why would she be naked otherwise? The red carpet is where you get naked if you're gonna make a statement. So they go through her whole look. The rapper, for his part, sported his go to all black. So he wear, I guess his. He's always wearing all black. I didn't know we beat the grammys. The Yeezy creator 47 told TMZ while sensory laugh. Okay, this is where you get. He becomes annoying to me. You didn't beat anybody. We weren't there to be beaten. There was no game being played. No one was sitting with a sign outside of the Grammys being like no naked people allowed. And then you guys came in and you know, beat the system like that. This is where he's annoying to me. No one. There was no plot against you. The record producer posted the same thing to his Instagram story, repeatedly calling his wife the most googled person on earth. Well, he is so annoying. West has been slammed by Jimmy Kimmel, Megan McCain and more celebs since Sunday's award show. What's to SL. I mean, like to me, crazy person does crazy thing. I don't know what there is to slam the Jimmy Kimmel Live host, 57, joked in a scathing monologue Monday that Will Smith should have slapped West. Labeling. Labeling him a rodent. I kind of don't get that. I mean, I get why you make fun of him for doing this. It is to be made fun of. Is it with ill intent? McCain for her part. I mean, Meghan McCain is going to take. I haven't read this. Let's see what her quote is. I bet you it's kind of right wing and motherly. Who McCain is my age too, so let's not get crazy here. She's my age. The idea that she would go, what will the Mothers tell the kids, let's see. I don't know, maybe I'm surprised. McCain, for her part, called the Grammy winner a repugnant, vile piece of garbage. She really went out there. I mean, I'm Jewish and that, that seems, you know, harsh on Kanye and speculated his he is holding his partner hostage. Like, to Megan, stop it. I mean, the former View, the former the View Co host, 40, added, I just want and will have, have wanted for years for Kanye west to leave us all the hell alone. He, I mean, honestly, like, I'm not a Kanye fan. I think this guy, again, what he did is annoying. The naked part, not as annoying to me as the we beat the, the Grammys thing. Like, I don't know what statement was made. You didn't do anything, but, you know, in incite the people you knew you would incite in normal, you know, Meghan McCain. This is what she does. Similarly, Armie Hammer's ex wife, I think Elizabeth Chambers, I'm sure she just wants to go by Elizabeth Chambers at this point, shared an Instagram story referring to Sensori's appearance as a humiliation ritual. I mean, we have gone what Meghan McCain and what Elizabeth Chambers are doing is like, that isn't conspiracy land. Like, they're, they're basically saying, this woman has no. Which again, like, let me, let me just say as like a, as an opinion opinionator, as a podcaster sitting here right now, I have to do the math in my head. Like, how much is it worth to like, deny that that could be a possibility? Because, like, if it, if, if that to be true, this is why these like, conspiracy theories and like, when people speak in extremes, it becomes not worth it for us normals to go, well, I that's kind of crazy because then let's say it is true. Now I'm the guy who's like, you know, that's not railing against, you know, this man who has this, like, you know, power over this woman. Like, I in which if that's the case, oh, my God, this is fucking crazy. A lip reader alleged to the Daily Mail that Monday that west told the model to make a scene and drop her coat, which she did twice after shake. Twice did after twice shaking her head again. We are into theory land. But she shakes her head. What do you. How else could it look? No, I don't want to. No, I don't want to drop the thing. He's in control. I I this is where it gets icky. The Stronger singer also appeared to tell red carpet staff to push that person out of the way before their step and repeat another expert claim. Yeah, he came to make a scene. Again, from my perspective, having not known about this until 2:00 on Wednesday, they came to make a scene. She's also married to him. So, like, I have to like, do they. This is kind of like brings me back to like Kim Kardashian. Like, everyone's like, oh, she's just like us. This whole family's like us. But it's like you were married to a guy that was like, on this, like anti Semitic rant. Like, it didn't happen at all. It just started. And for us, we all found at the same time. I find that hard to believe as well. What a day. What a pop culture. What a pop culture. Thursday. Okay, we have one sponsor. We're done with Kanye again. To me, Kanye is crazy person, does crazy thing. Who cares? It's, it's. And he's the one that makes it a societal thing. To me. He is. No, you know, this turns into like the mothers saying the kids are playing video games and it's going to make them all murderers. Like, I'm like, I don't know. I don't slide down that slippery slope so quickly. If you're tired of fad diets, we have one sponsor. It is in the description of this episode. Use it if it can help you.

So use the promo and the sponsor if it can help you. We love Green Chef. I gave you all the reasons that I would get it. Let's go to this article. I don't think this was a big season of Real Housewives of New York. I think they tried to revamp it and because I went on a podcast with another real, like, they, they tried to revamp it and I went on a. Something in the land of something's coming. I'm going to be on, like, a ringer podcast with a Real Housewives of New York. And she did one season. I'm not sure if she's coming back either, but R.E.M. rebecca Minkoff now. Rebecca Minkoff. Here's how I know her, and this is kind of crazy. I know her because I, like, know the name from, like, people wearing her dresses like that. Just from, like, being aware of red carpets. I'd be like, you hear Rebecca Minkoff dress. And I'm like, like, so that name has, like, some Q score with me. Like, I'm just like, oh, that's a fancy dress when I hear that name. And then it's weird because I'll go on Instagram and do you know how many times she has come up on my, like, you know, my for you page or, like, my explore page? And I'm like, who's this girl that I looks like someone I would have matched with on Hinge? Like, she. No one has ever looked more my type than this woman. And so my. Which is weird because then I go, oh, that's the famous dressmaker. And then you find out she's on Real Housewives. Rebecca Minkoff won't be back for season 16 of Real Housewives of New York City. The friend of the cast. So I guess these are roles where you could be a friend of the cast and you end up in a lot of scenes. Confirmed her ex because they write in quotes. The friend quote confirmed her exit. This must have been a bad season because they revamped it, tried to bring in a new crew, and maybe it just didn't connect. From the Bravo show via Instagram Tuesday amid speculation she was on her way out. 2025 is a new beginning for me with current events in the world. I'm reminded the importance of family, friends, and community now more than ever. The fashion designer, 44, began her lengthy statement. That means there was nothing else there. Yeah, they show her at dinner with, like, a bunch of Real Housewives looking people. Minkoff went on to share her intention to focus on her supportive husband. Okay, so I've been looking at her going, who is this woman? And then you see, like, I'm like, oh, like, she's like. And her husband, Gavin Bellore, and their four kids. Like, when did she start having kids? Like, at 18. But I guess I'm the weird one. She's 44. You have four kids. That's what happens. Jared, you're crazy. Daughter Bowie and sons Luca, Nico and Leonardo in her career. As much as I have learned along the way with this friend, with this franchise and fans, I want to re prioritize what it means, what means the most to me, Designing, giving back, supporting women and raising my family. She added. The entrepreneur this is such a bullshit statement. I mean, what hey, I'm leaving the show. Not for me. The entrepreneur called herself truly grateful for the experience, the friendships and the fans that have been part of her Real Housewives of New York chapter since joining the cast last year as a close friend. So that means she was like kind of involved and she's a big name. Time to turn the page. Minkoff concluded. She for me to know her other than chick I check out on Instagram, for me to know that she makes dresses is like, yes, she's a big name. She captioned the social media upload with hashtag with a hashtag highlighting her new chapter. A rep for the network has yet to respond to Page Six. His request for comment? Yes. In April 2024, Page Six revealed that Minkoff had been filming the series in Manhattan. The businesswoman had a recurring role in the show alongside Jenna Lyons, Bryn Whitfield. That's who I that's the podcast I went on. She has a new I I hope people know that she she has a new podcast where we talked about dating Uber Hassan, Aaron, Aaron Leakey, Leachy, just Raquel Chevremont and say de Silva. It's fun, funny, with a little bit of drama. Minkoff told the post in October 24th. She probably just had enough. It's a lot of work to go on that show. And you go, what work? They go to dinner and they fight. You got to be at a dinner. She sparked controversy during a brief spin on the show for faking a pregnancy and what in a she already has four. In a November 2024 episode with Lychee's help, Minkoff admitted during Page Six's virtual reality live show the following month that the hoax was a big mistake on her part. I think this is one of those again, to go back to what I mentioned before, like fake a pregnancy fun with your friends. Not as fun when you invite in the larger audience where you have an audience of women who may or may not be having issues with pregnancy and that affects them in a certain way. And again, no one is going to defend you. They're gonna, they're gonna go, I'm backing away. I'm not gonna like, you know, again, it's not fair for you guys. I don't know how the Pregnancy in December 2024 interview, she noted, you know what? In hindsight, terrible subject matter. I own it. Like, bad idea. I don't know the subject. I don't need you to DM me. Well, this is what happened. I don't care. I'm just saying from the perspective of hearing that they faked a pregnancy on a TV show where it's mostly women watching, I can understand that someone's gonna come back and go, what the fuck is this? Like when people are having. And again in their intent at your, at your brunch table, if you say, yeah, I'm pregnant, then at the end you go, no, I'm not. You know all the people who could see that and who would be affected by it. When you do one on a TV show and someone says, how could you do this? I have issues with my pregnancy journey. No one's there to defend you. No one's gonna go, well, they were doing it on a TV show and it was, you know, in good fun. You know, you, everyone backs away because who wants to be that person that's defending in good fun versus someone really going through it? It's, it's an interesting topic to me. Let's do Barron Trump. Let's get to baby boy Baron. Baron Trump returns to NYU with security detail following dad's inauguration. I mean, this is the, this is the, the premise of the movie First Kid. So why is this an article? It is interesting. You are a college kid. This is out of a, this is a, this is a TGIF TV show, the Sun. And again, it's gotta be weird to go to the, go to NYU with a security detail. But your whole life has been weird. Like, there's no bone in my body. That's like, poor Baron Trump. He's dealt with this since birth. His Baron Trump is back to hitting the books. The 18 year old was spotted walking to class at an NYU on Tuesday, two weeks after attending his dad's President Trump's inauguration. Barron looked dapper for his first day back on campus. I feel bad for Baron because he cannot leave the house. He's got to, like, he's got to get dressed wherever he goes, he's got to be followed everywhere he goes. Wearing black trousers, a cream colored sweater atop a white polo shirt, A seat in photos exclusively obtained by Page Six. So he's got some sort of deal with Page Six, which wouldn't be a surprise. His dad was a big Page Six guy before, you know, when he was, you know, when he was just Donald Trump guy, billionaire from New York. Him and Page Six held hands. A security detail ushered the teen from Trump Tower where he and his, where he and his mom Melania Priory resided. So he doesn't got his own apartment down to Greenwich Village in a motorcade of five SUVs. Five SUVs to leave the house. Different life, you wonder, you know, I mean, we're gonna be talking to this kid until we die. We're gonna be seeing articles about him. It's gotta be. I mean, again, I just said I don't feel bad, but I get it. He kicked off his college career in September 2024 following his graduation from the prestigious Oxbridge Academy in Florida. While Barron has not had a normal college experience due to his dad political position, according to his mom, he has repeatedly reportedly become quite the ladies man. This is something that gets reported a lot that this kid is killing it with the ladies. He's really popular with the ladies. A source told this is all you hear about to me if I'm him. He's got Page Six take a picture. You know they're exclusively getting pictures just put out there. Like I would put out like normal. I'd be like, hey, Page Six, just say that. I'm like, not like if I were him, I'd put out like he's a great first date. Like I would put out like just normal stuff. He's the best cuddler in town. Like something like that.

Even people with who hate his dad completely will even admit he's got a good look. I mean, he is tall, you got height, you're okay. In my opinion. Baron had to take a break from his studies and flirting last month. Like Page Six is basically setting him up to get late. Let's move on now. Let's do this one. Chelsea Handler details steamy affair with complete stranger while abroad for the Olympics. I mean, this is the most Chelsea Handler story. Chelsea Handler's best one night stand lasted an entire week. The comedian detailed her steamy affair in Wednesday's episode of Call Her Daddy Staying. It stood out as extra sexy among the many fun One night stands she has had. I mean, Chelsea Handler. She is a fun person. I will say this a J Train exclusive. I was at the Comedy Cellar and she showed up with like, a bunch of comedians that were like, opening for her at her big show. She was drinking, she was hanging. She was like. And she was like, talking with people and really, like, having a time. And you're like, this is to me. She was living. And I remember she ordered like. She was like, I'll have a tequila on the rocks. And she was already. That wasn't her first tequila, by. By my account. And I was like, hey. And she, like, looked over. She's like, hey. And I'm like, you can just tell she goes out. Handler, 49, explained that she was in London for the 20, 2012 Olympics at the time. Let's see. I was walking home late one night, and this really sexy British guy, we just locked eyes, she recalled. And it was like sex. It was like something you could see in a movie. After walking past him, the former Chelsea Lately host turned around and saw the stranger whose name she no longer remembers. Tequilas had also stopped in his tracks. Of course he did. You make eye contact with a beautiful woman, he said, would you like to come back to my place? Well, this guy's the man. She continued. This was. That was the first thing he said. The eye look that we had was so intense that I was like, yeah. Yes. What a shot in the dark. This is one of those things. It's all risk for him. It's risk for her. Just being a woman. I do understand that. Just be walking in London and some guy says to you, would you like to go back to any place? You say no. He becomes like a irate. And that is that. Play fair. But when he turns, would you like, what a shot in the dark. And then she's like, yes. Can you. If I was like, ever to say that someone. They're like, yes. I'd be like. And I come my pants immediately. And the night would be over. Hey, would you like to come back to my place? Actually, I would. Well, thank you for that. Got to go. I'm done. Hope you got got off to acknowledging that the situation could have been dangerous. Again, you have to acknowledge that. Handler went on to say that she and the individual barely spoke during their time together. I went over there every night after the Olympics for a week. For a week. This guy's. And she's from America. She's going home. This is like this guy. I got to know who he is. This guy Got to teach a class. She said, I had a full on affair with this guy. We had this incredible chemistry. The actress clarified that the bond was purely sexual, noting, we had a couple of drinks, then crazy sex and then I go back, listen, that's called heaven on earth for any man. Handler never told her friends because it was, it felt so steamy and sexy that she just wanted to keep it to herself. Oh, I'm getting turned on by this. She had made more hookup confessions throughout the episode. From sleeping with several of her ski instructors to being in months long romance with a hot mystery man. I mean this is the thing you kind of heard about Chelsea Handler. That she was like partying and like, and that, you know, she, she was like hooking up with like there was like accusations that she, like that this was part of her. I, I never bought that. I never saw her as like sleeping her way to the top. It just felt like she was at the top and sleeping around, which is what it sounds like here. Todd Chrisley. So this guy is in jail. This guy Chrisley knows best. My, my dad loved Chris Lee Knows Best. I, I don't know why. I don't know how. I do know why. Because they would do. If you watch this show, it was like a, it was a reality show on like TBS where somehow they followed this like southern family and they got the kids and they got the husband and the husband was like, you know, he was, you know, to me he was feminine in, in you. You'd be like, he doesn't seem like he'd have a family. And you'd be like, what is his deal? You know, he was almost. It was again, like, I don't mean to make a accusation. I don't, I hope that doesn't sound like an accusation. You just say this guy on the spectrum leaned a different way than I had assumed his life to be. But then he had this wife and the kids and the grandma and honestly, the show was horrible. The show is horrible, but it is what it was was Leave it to Beaver. They would just redo old sitcom tropes. Grandma can't believe the new boyfriend. They, oh, the son is talking back. It was all Leave it to Beaver. And that's why my dad, like, my dad loves shows like that. He knew every episode of Leave it to Beaver and F Troop. He knew he had seen every episode. Every time. We would watch like growing up, we would watch Nick at night, which I like. You know, I like Nick at night. I am a fan of these shows as well. Just because that's how I grew up, I guess. But anytime I go, did you see this episode? He'd go, yeah. And he would tell me the whole episode. He, it was like pay, you know, he was like a Wikipedia page for like stupid sitcoms. Todd Chrisley. Well then Todd Chrisley gets a. I think there was a tax evasion thing. Todd Chrisley is calling on President Trump for a pardon. The Chrisley Knows Best alum's lawyer Jay Surgeon told TMZ Wednesday that the 55 year old and his wife Julie Chrisley would like to be considered for a part. Yeah, would they? I, I, that makes some sense. They're in jail. The attorney stated it would be up to President Trump to review their cases. Todd has faith he will be given due, due consideration because he feels that he never received constitutional protections and a fair criminal justice system. I mean, I think these two are grifters. And again, you kind of have to be a grifter because to get that show, like the idea that this unknown family, we need to have them on TBS and then they like to get there, like you have to really like go after it. Surgeon also shared Todd's support of Trump 78, claiming that the former reality stars Make America great again sticker was removed from his prison cell by a guard. Todd did not speak up when the sticker was allegedly removed due to fear, sir. Surgeon claimed that to the outlet that Todd's cell is frequently shaken down, allegedly alleging he has had his mattress flipped, his clothes searched and his books thrown. I isn't that what prison is? I don't know. The real estate entrepreneur, is that what he is? Is also claiming to have had a Pepsi poured onto his bed. Todd and Julie have been behind bars in Florida since January 2023. They've already been in jail for two years. Seven months after the couple were convicted. Convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion, Julie was sentenced to seven years while her husband received a 12 year sentence. It is wild that these two are in jail to me again. It's also wild that they would have a TV show. It's wild that he's married and has kids. The whole thing, their whole story is wild. During his time behind bars, Todd made headlines for serving as an administrative assistant to the chaplain at the federal prison Camp Pensacola's chapel and getting fired from the position. The growing up Chrisley alum was seemingly let go for being chatty with his fellow inmates. Todd and Julie have three children together with their 27 year old daughter, often speaking their defense on her Unlocked podcast. So she's got a podcast. Yeah, they set up the kids pretty good. Let's do. We'll do one more while we're here. I think this one's funny. Funny, interesting, whatever. You don't hear much. You know, when you hear about the Kardashians and the Jenners, the one guy that you lost touch with is Brody. Brody Jenner. I don't get to go on Sister Kylie's 73 million private jet. Oh, and then they show a sad picture of him. So Brody Jenner revealed he doesn't get to go on sister Kylie Jenner's 73 million private jet. Despite their family ties. Kendall and Kylie are my sisters. We have the same last name, but we don't share a bank account. The Hills alum for. You know, it's one of those things that you're like, all the girls got set up and he didn't get in any of these business things. Well, and then you go, I guess there's nothing for him to sell. You know, a lot of the Kardashians is this dream thing of like, look how they dress, look what they wear. Look at the makeup they have. They look amazing. The skin is great. I want to use their goods. So, like the nail polish, the, you know, the creams, the. All these things, you know, Kim Kardashian doing skims. Like, I don't think any, you know, what does Brody sell? I'm, you know, what guy is like needing to dress like Brody. I don't get to go on the pink jet, though. I would love to. Hey, that's kind of sad. I don't know. I'm sure he's doing okay. Brody, who's currently competing on Fox's Special Forces World's toughest test. Listen, Brody's doing fine. But when you're going on Special Forces world stuff, assess and you're sister is the world's first billionaire when you were like a celeb in your own right. It's gotta be weird. Also made it clear that even though here he and her and her brother Brandon Jenner are related, the billionaire Kardashians clan through their dad, Caitlyn Jenner, 75. He. He rejects the assumption that he's a trust fund kid who doesn't have to work, this guy's got to work to keep up his lifestyle. That's the difference. Your lifestyle and his lifestyle, very different things. But like, if I'm this guy, like, he's gonna, he'll be fine the rest of his life, but he'll again, it's flying private and then having to go back to first class. That's a, that's kind of hell in its own way. It's funny that people think that. Also the idea that you're compared to your sister, that there's really no comparison, like, this sucks for him. It's funny that people think that because first off, my dad never gave any child support. It wasn't like that we were getting any money from the Kardashians ever. According to the outlet, Caitlin's representative claim Brody's mother, Linda Thompson, turned down the possibility of child support and alimony during her divorce from the Olymp from the former Olympian. Why would anyone do that? How was that even possible? So her. So the dad never paid child. So Caitlin never paid child support. Instead, she accepted an upfront payment to reflect 100% of their marital assets, which was millions of dollars. Following Caitlyn's split from Linda, she married Kris Jenner. During their marriage, Caitlyn and Chris welcomed Kendall and Kylie, Brody's half sisters. Right. I guess it's, it's, it's a w, it's a T. I have empathy for Brody. Kylie's personal airliner, which measures at an impressive 8ft wide and 59 tells how big the plane is, is decorated with colored lighting across the ceiling that can be programmed to shine in different hues. The plane also features customized beige seats that have the initials K.J. written on them. Kylie Air also has multiple rooms, including an entertainment suite, a primary suite, two bathrooms, a gallery, crew rest area, clock. I mean, she's Tony Stark. While his relationship with dad Caitlin has been a sore spot for Brody in the past, things appear to be on the mend. Caitlin recently apologized to Brody for his feelings of abandonment during his childhood. Ah, I don't envy Brody. It was the first. Even though this guy is gorgeous, he's a great looking dude. He was on the hills. He seemingly had it all. It was the first time in my life that I've ever gotten an apology, you know, I'm sorry for not being there. Brody revealed last month, adding the. The note honestly meant a lot. Ah, this is like one of those, like, this is like a genie's wish gone bad. I think for Brody. I wish that I could be the biggest heartthrob in Hollywood and then you get dropped into like, oh, my half sister is a billionaire. I get looked at as a loser. My, you know, my dad doesn't acknowledge me. You know, he's happy with an apology and he says it meant a lot. That's well, pop culture Thursday back next week, boom.
