I love Page Six. I just love what they do. I think it's funny. Their articles are, you know, the headlines are written to make you want to click. And a lot of this is dissecting why I clicked and why I thought this was interesting or, you know, And I don't read the articles. I read the headlines. I make a little note, and then we get into them together. So that's the show. And if you want. So I'm asking you to subscribe. I'd love for you to check out the YouTube where I'm putting up, stand up every Saturday. There's something for me every day. I never shut the fuck up. I'm always there waving, hey, please come hang with me. Listen, I'm not there for your serious subjects. I'm here for your light. Put your brain on the shelf. That's what this podcast is about. Put your brain on the shelf. Let your papa J.T. take the wheel. Now you might be here listening, wondering if there's a recap of the Golden Bachelor, which I was. I think this is the week. I'm pretty positive, you know, you'd be like, jared, you don't know. They don't tell you a lot. I. So if you're here to hear about the Golden Bachelor, my experience on the show, which. Which I think happened last night, you got to go to my YouTube. I'm putting up at noon on Thursdays Eastern time. I'm putting up the whole live stream, and at the end, I do a little recap of the episode. So all of that is on YouTube. Go to my YouTube YouTube.com Jared Freed. Or just search Jared Freed. Uh, it is called My Rose Rehash. It's there waiting for you, along with the live stream that I do on Instagram. Stories. Again, I'm saying this, and I'm like, man, if most. You don't give a shit about me, you. You. I. I think you care about me in a. In a certain way. But I'm saying, like, all of this could just be noise. I'm directing you in seven different directions. This is a bad. Jared, you're already fucking up. John Madden says you can give three directions that said that's all people remember. I'm fucking up John Madden. I'm sorry, John Madden. So you can go on YouTube and check out the rosary hash for my recap of the episode of the Golden Bachelor. And I mean, I think I'm on this week's episode, so I am a part of it. I will tell that whole story on Coffee with J Train. He says, jared, you idiot, stop giving directions. Gives another direction. Okay, Coffee with J. Drain. We'll have all of my Golden Bachelor experience, especially, I mean, if the episode airs this week, which I think it does. So. Okay, so I'm sitting in front of a bunch of links. Let's get to it. Oh, one last direction that you won't listen to. Oh, and we have ads. You know, you got to get involved. I almost forgot about the ads. Well, we'll get into it, and then I'll go to the ads, because I. Man, I can't start this over. Now, here's our first article. Keith Urban admitted he nearly blew up Nicole Kidman marriage in emotional speech last year. Now, here's what I. When it comes to Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, I know she's a great actress. I know he is a huge country star who I think is from Australia. But having been to Australia, there is a certain cowboy culture there. So it wouldn't surprise me that, like, country western music made its way there easily. So that's beside the point though. But like Keith Urban and Nick Cole Kidman, to me, I know it's like one of those couples that I know are big, but I have no care about them. I don't care about their personalities. I'm sure I have danced to a Keith Urban song and thought it was wonderful without even knowing it was a Keith Urban song. I know I've enjoyed Nicole Kidman on the big screen, but I don't care about either of their personalities. Nothing about them rings warm to me. But I also. This is kind of, you know, where opinions go. To me, they're like, I have to acknowledge they are huge. Like, but to me it's. And for me to go, they don't matter. That's stupid. That's stupid. That's like saying ketchup sucks. No, no, no. Ketchup is a thing that some people like. Some people love you. You don't like, catch up, that's fine. But you don't matter in the conversation. Catch up has gotten way bigger than you can control. I see this all the time in comments and I'm like, they must be a bot because it's a comment that I. Again, the difference between saying the comment's stupid doesn't matter. No. Well, the comment is the comment. I don't respect the person who makes the comment. So if you say who even cares about Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, I think that's a stupid person making that comment. Again, that's my opinion of the person based on the comment they made. We are all judging. Everyone's judging. So cuz I think of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, I have to respect the bigness of the star couple because they are both stars but who have merged to make somewhat of a superstar couple. It's like big brother. Like, I know people watch big brother. I know people love big brother. I know people are like, into big brother in a way that, like, I can't understand. It's not a show I enjoy, but I respect that it's a huge show. People do that with the Bachelor. Who would watch the Bachelor? That's a stupid opinion. People. People watch the Bachelor. So when it comes to Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, the big brother of couples, I understand their breakup is a big story. I also think that this headline has to be fraudulent. And it's either Keith Urban is a crazy person or it's page six doing what page six does. Keith Urban admitted he nearly blew up Nicole Kidman marriage in an emotional speech last year. Do I think that Keith Urban went on stage and like, was like contemplating, like doing a breakup on stage with one of the biggest celebrities alive? No. I think that would be absolutely batshit insane. And if he is saying that I'm on Team Nicole when it comes to the breakup. Keith Urban detailed a dark period in his marriage to Nicole Kidman during an emotional speech one year before the their bombshell separation. Like, that's not a bombshell to me. I go, oh, I guess they broke up. Like, I don't have any personal relationship with them. I like their art is so separated from who they are as people to me that it kind of makes me think that they don't have a lot of personality at all, the country singer told AFI Life Achievement Award gala attendees in 2024 about the time he nearly blew up their relationship. So this was the American Idol judge. I didn't even know he was an American Idol judge who wed Kidman in 2006, explained that his substance abuse struggles came to head barely four months into their union. Okay, my addictions that I done really nothing about blew our marriage to smithereens, Urban, 57, recalled. He's gotta be Australian. No country Western American is using the word smithereens. Four months into our marriage, I'm in rehab for three months. I had no idea what was going to happen to us, he continued at the time. And if you want to see what love in action really looks like, give that a whirl. Okay? I don't think they say a whirl either. Urban praised the actress, 58, for sticking by him during the tough period. I think they got married pretty quick. Nick pushed through every negative voice, I'm sure even some of her own, and she chose love, he continued as Kidman teared up in the audience. And here we are tonight, 18 years later. The duo's daughter, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, 17, and 14, were present at the event. Urban told audience members that the teen girls were very lucky to be learning from Kidman. I mean, this is a puff piece. When do we get to their breakup? I've actually never met anyone who has such a passion for being alive, he added. Like this is again, none of this to me, they are AI holograms created by PR people. They're huge, but like, I don't know them. Urban has yet to speak out since news broke Monday that he and Kidman are calling it quits after nearly 20 years of marriage. The pair's last joint appearance was at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 game. I mean, they show them together. They're glossy. They are, like, pretty. They are botoxed. It is that same month Kidman acknowledged their 19th anniversary in a touching Instagram tribute. And Urban, notably, did not post one of his own. Oh. Instead, the Grammy winner commented on his partner's post with a heart emoji. That's not enough. Kidman was previously married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001. She did a lot of time with Cruz, with whom she adopted daughter Isabella, 32, and son Connor, 30. Okay, well, that was a nothing article. I mean, this is a very misleading title. Admitted he nearly blew up the marriage. None of this was admitting that you blew up the marriage. And that's why we do the. That's why we play the game. That's why we, you know, again, again, to me, that proves my point. They are the big brother. They are a plastic thing that I go, yeah, it's big. Okay. I like this headline because if you click on it, if this headline interests you, you can never say that you're not into drama ever again. Like, honestly, this, this article, you should click on it and it should just pop up a big red sign that says, you are the drama. Because this is written in such a way that you are salivating at hearing two women that are being mean to one another. Here's the article. Here's the title. Lauren Sanchez 1 ups Sydney Sweeney's birthday look with her own metallic micro mini dress. Like that is page six being like, hey, do you want to see a cat fight? Come on this way. And me the loser, dramatic tea loving asshole is like, oh, this way, this way. To the one upped mini dress. Like, the idea, the way they're painting this is Lauren Sanchez showed up to whatever her name is to. They're painting this as Lauren Sanchez showed up to Sydney Sweeney's birthday. Like, oh, I see you wore a mini dress. We'll take this. And then posed and strutted on a. On a Runway. Like, that's the way it plays in my head. And to me, you're 10% away from me. You're hearing that article going, ooh, well, who wore it better? That's really what you're thinking. Sydney sweetie celebrated her 28th birthday this past weekend with a star studded space themed party. While Sweeney was definitely the belle of her own ball in a Britney Spears 2008 dress by the Blondes. Guest, Lauren Sanchez, who is Jeff Bezos, his wife certainly drew some attention with her look as well. Posing for a photo, posing for a Photo alongside the birthday girl. Sanchez, 55, wore a similar metallic micro mini dress with a neckline so low it seemed like a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen. Now I am looking at the picture. My God, good for both of them. I mean, that I. If you look at the picture, I mean, the title is so horrible. The, the, the, the article title. One woman one upped another. Go see who wore it better. To me, these are different dresses. They are not the same. Sydney Sweeney's definitely wearing the birthday version because she's got stars on it. Lauren Sanchez is definitely wearing a metallic dress, but it is in no way made to make Sydney Sweeney, you know, go, oh, I guess I should leave my own party. While her dress was not supposed. I mean, it is. There is like a I. To me, the dumb response to this is like, she's 55. What is she wearing? Her body's made to wear this dress. I mean, the dress is crazy for no matter what the age, you have to really be a certain type of person. While her dress was not specific, specifically space themed. Yeah, I guess Sydney's is more involved with the theme with the stars. Lawrence is just. I wore a metallic dress. The metallic nature of the look gave a nod towards the futuristic aspect of the party's wardrobe inspiration. Like when it's space themed, Lauren Sanchez can just wear one of the. I mean, I guess she's not gonna rewear. She's not gonna wear like her space suit that she wore into space. When it comes to her style, Sanchez is known for her hourglass silhouettes and low cut necklines. This dress was no exception. The designer of Sanchez's dress has yet to be confirmed. I mean, and then there's a picture of Sydney Sweeney with a wookie. So she's a Star wars person. There's a NASA rocket in the background. She's got friends wearing alien, you know, ears. It seems like it's a fun theme for a party space. Now that she's in a picture with a guy who. I don't know what the men do for space. I would wear the jumpsuit like I was going to space. That could be hot with the helmet under your arm. But there's a picture of her with one with a guy. And he didn't really do much. He went with a jean jacket and jeans. And I'm like, I don't know what planet jean jacket represents. Yeah. So happy birthday, Sydney Sweeney. We are sponsored people. Listen, I want you to go.

I think Barron Trump shut down a whole floor of Trump Tower for a date. If I'm Barron Trump, I think I could do better than that. Shutting down. And I get it. Let me take Barron's side. Barron can't leave the house. He's a college kid who's trying to be. I think he goes to nyu. He's trying to be a college kid. He can't leave the house. There's paparazzi everywhere. There's people who hate him. Like, hate him. Which this is the world we live in now. And I'm sure he understands what it is to be not just the president's son, but Donald Trump son. So I do get. He's like, I want to go on a date with this girl. Where can we do it? Oh, I have a whole building where I can shut down a floor floor, But I think an office floor. But I'm sure it's like a, you know, Trump Tower. A floor. We don't know what the floors there are. Like, I just imagine, like, an empty office building. And he's like, look, we got the whole floor. Like, bigness isn't romantic. I always say this about Vegas hotels. Sometimes you'll be in an older Vegas hotel. The Rio's like this. The Rio is an older Vegas hotel. It's called the All Suites hotel. And that was a big marketing ploy back in the day, because people were like, I can stay in a suite. They're all suites. And then you're like, well, I don't need this living room. You know, Like, I kind of just want more outlets. Can you have better outlets and a better mattress instead of, like, a living room? And so Barron Trump, if I were him, I would have shut down a park. I would have shut down a toy store. You go, you know, you go big. You know, like the movie Big. Shut down a story store. If I'm him, I'm living. I. If I'm Baron Trump, turn on the movie Blank Check or Richie Rich and do whatever they did. Even though you're in college, I know you're older than they were in that movie. Do those things. I think from an outsider's perspective, I would applaud that. I'd be like, oh, he's doing Blank Check. He's doing Richie Rich. Yes. That's what we would all do. So everyone would have to respect it. But when you do, yeah, I shut down a whole floor for a date. It's a little scary. It feels like you're, like, bringing a woman that sounds like you're having a date with a woman where, like, she was forced to be there, or else you're gonna bankrupt her whole family. Sit in this chair. Have dinner with me, or your papa's gonna lose the mortgage. A source tells us that Donald and Melania Trump's son Barron recently had a date at Trump Tower. While bringing a crush to a building with your name on it seems like the ultimate flex. We hear the choice to have a date at home was strictly for security reasons. Again, I. That I get the article headline isn't really telling you that. In fact, the son scion is that I'm an idiot. 19 is so well guarded. That entire floor was shut down for him to have the romantic meet up set us. I mean, you. I mean, that sucks for him as far as, like, there is no romance. There's no, like, will they. Won't they. Like, she has to be, like, in for the date. He has to really like her. Like, you can. He can't look at that girl and go, hey, I just want to get to know you. I don't know if this is, like, he. He has to really like the girl. The young Trump lives in D.C. the New York Post exclusively reported that Barron is residing at the White House while he attends classes at the D.C. campus of NYU. Oh, elite schools offer courses in politics, public policy. Okay, I don't care about his school, but, I mean, it's just. That's a high pressure date. You're, like, in for, like, the. The. What, are they gonna, like, hook up? And then he'll be like, ah, I don't know if I'm ready for a relationship. You shut down a floor like, you. You must like me. Okay, here's a great headline. Lionel Richie fans revolt over concert. That turned out to be a book talk based on that headline. I agree with the revolting audience. That audience, if you. And listen, I would have to see the ticket. If you went to the local library expecting Lionel Richie to pull out a microphone and start singing and dancing, you're an idiot. If you went to a concert hall and it was a night with Lionel Richie and then he sits in a chair while a woman looks at him and says, tell us about the book, then I am on your side. I would be annoyed. I would think, I'm going to get the Lionel Richie hits I deserve. Lionel, tell us about third grade. I'd be like, oh, no, we're not going to get Lionel Richie singing Eat the Richie. Lionel Richie fans revolted. I mean, what is. What is a Lionel Richie fan? What does a Lionel Richie fan revolt look like? What they do, like, raise their canes. I'll get you, Lionel. That's crazy. What would that be? They. They. We. They. What they do. Throw their pills at them. Take that, Lionel. My baby aspirin is going to hit you in the eye. Lionel Richie vans revolted Monday night, we're told, when they showed up at a Times Square concert venue. Okay, I'm on their side, expecting to see the icon give an intimate performance, only to hear him rattle on about his new book for an hour instead. Page six. Really not helping Lionel with the words rattle on. Spies say some fans paid as much as $600 a pop for stubs on ticket resale sites for the event. I, as someone who sells tickets for their own shows, the ticket resell sites, if you're not going through the artist website, it's on you a little bit, I gotta say. Like I, I understand you really want to see Lionel Richie. The minute you go to a resale site, you're taking chances. If you missed out on the, on the artist's site. Because I get these messages all the time. I'll get messages from people. Your tickets are $7,000. And I'm like, are you out of your mind? Did you, what did you go to ticket jaredfree.com blogspot like you go to my website and you start there, I'll have like half a room empty. And it'll be like, your tickets are like $7,000. I'll be like, I, I, I don't have the energy to walk you through this. So like listen, $600 a pop on ticket resell sites. That's not Lionel's fault. I want to know what it is on his website. If it's a hundred dollar ticket that says on his website and the resale sites are going to say a night with Lionel Richie, maybe on his site it says book talk with Lionel Richie. Like some of this is beyond him. And you know, I would say to defend the artist, which no one is, you have to like, is it your responsibility to police how these resale sites work? I don't know. I don't think so. Spies say some fans paid as much as $600 a pop for stubs on ticket resale sites for the event. Build on sites including Ticketmaster and Stubhub as truly an evening of Lionel Richie and friends. Yeah, that's not, I need to see what it was set, what it was billed as on his website. If that's on a resale site. Everyone got fucked. Lionel got fucked, the fans got fucked and they all got screwed by the resale site. Because I, I don't know if that's really his responsibility. And the book is called Lionel Richie. They're showing the book title. It's called Truly. So one person was overheard saying they shelled out twelve hundred dollars for the evening and even had special T shirts made for the night. Okay, can we not go to the person who made T shirts for the Lionel Richie event for the quotes? Look, that's not a reasonable person. But when the hello Superstar. When, but when the hello Superstar took the stage only to settle in for a thought provoking interview with ABC's Robin Roberts about his new memoir, Truly. I can't believe he doesn't already have a memoir out. It became chillingly. It became chillingly became. They fucked up it chilling. The chillingly. You don't need that. Word became clear that nobody would be dancing on the ceiling that night or indeed anywhere else. We're not gonna get. Hello. We're not gonna dance on the ceiling. Lionel, you piece of shit. According to a source, the 1500 person auditorium at Town Hall. I've performed at Town Hall. It's an intimate place. It would be a cool place to see Lyle Richie perform. The crowd began to jeer and heckle the Rock and Roll hall of Famer. Ay. They show a picture of Town Hall. I've done that theater. I'm doing that theater. My shows in New York are at Town Hall. They were said the spy people walked out. Some yelled, shut up and sing. I mean, come on. Another person was escorted out screaming, I want my money back. This got tense. At one point he told a story about being robbed and someone called back. So were we. They added, it's gotta really be. I mean, I guess people aren't gonna be interested in his book. Like, you're. You wrote a book. You're like, ah, man, people gonna hear about the real Lionel Richie. And then you realize they don't give a fuck about you. They want their music. They want to be brought back to their own memories that your music was the soundtrack for. They don't want to hear about why you wrote hello. Well, I kept saying hello to my doorman on the way to my apartment. Shut the fuck up. Play the song. We're told. Richie did seem to acknowledge the issue, saying at one point, if you're looking for a concert, you came to the wrong place. I mean, did it. I need to know what was on his site. They do show him sitting at a piano singing, if I'm him, bring out the piano. Let's just give him one song. After the show, a snarl of concert, er, Q and A goers, some still clutching Twizzlers, descended on the box office demanding refunds. It was craziness, said an onlooker. But Richie's camp pointed the finger at fans. His flack, his flack, Jeff Raymond flack told Page Six it was always advertised as a moderated Q and A, no musical performance. And it seems some customers did not read the language I would need to see. I mean, here's the thing. I don't think this is what Lionel Richie wanted. I. I don't Think he was like, got them, got their tickets, got that cash. Like, I would hope that Lionel Richie has enough money, but he is writing a book and selling a book. Also. $600 was not the cost as the number came secondary. As that number came secondary market sites. Not from Ticketmaster. He said Average cost was $77, which included a copy of the book. Okay, I don't. I think this is not anyone's fault other than the resellers. To me, this is my. Perhaps adding to the confusion, Richie is also in the midst of a residency as a musical act. A similar thing happened to Miley Cyrus earlier this year during the Tribeca Film Festival. Cyrus did a screening of her movie Something Beautiful at the Beacon Theater, followed by a Q and A. People who bought tickets on third party websites seem to also have misunderstood. It's the third party websites. This is. And now everyone looks bad. The crowd looks bad for being like monsters and yelling out at a moderated book talk. The Lionel Richie and his people, they. I mean, they're disputing the fans, which you should never do. Town hall didn't get back to us. I mean, you. To me, it's town hall's responsibility to like police the third. The secondary market. A bad day for everyone. Lionel, the fans, the Richies. Okay, do this one newly engaged Taylor Swift joked about Selena Gomez beating her to the altar in a wedding speech report. Okay, I will say this. You know what's nice to know? It's nice to know that Taylor is gonna do a hacky wedding speech thing too. Stars are just like us. Like, when a woman gets up, who's going to get married? Like, I would eye roll. I would be a cat clock in the crowd of that wedding if I was at a wedding and the woman who's engaged gives a speech to the woman getting married and then makes a joke about like, oh, my God, I guess you beat me here by a few days. It's a little annoying. It's. It's. To me. 1. You're like, up your own ass. Like, oh, I'm still the bride to. I mean, how are the husbands supposed to feel? They're just an object to get you to where you've been trying to go. Like, I think if you give this anyone. This isn't Taylor. This is. Anyone gives a speech like this, I go as the husband or the. One of the husbands. I go, oh, I guess I was just like a device to get you. Like, it could have been anyone. Like, that doesn't really make me feel special. I get the Joke. But I would eye roll the male version. Oh, you're gonna one woman the rest of your life, huh? Like that's like a version of that to me. So it is nice to know that Taylor Swift, like, you know, this is one of the greatest lyricists of our time, didn't have the ability to go and be a little bit more depthy when it came to her friend getting married at some point during the ceremony, the pop superstar who got engaged to Travis Kelsey last month joked in the speech that Selena beat her to the altar. But at least they both have found the loves of their life, right? But at least we got the loves of our. No, no, no. You first said. Yeah, got me. If only I found some other idiot to do this earlier with me. Like, I'm happy they. I'm happy to hear that they're real friends. Like to speak at someone's wedding. That's like a real friend. Unless they're just like star hungry, you know, people who. The more. The more famous you are, the more you get time at your wedding. While at some points humorous, the speech was overall so beautiful that it left the bride and several guests crying. Per the outlet. Swift 35 reportedly talked about always having Selena's back and how they are sisters and that while Selena may see Taylor as the big sister, Taylor sees Selena as teaching her so much. There we go. That's a nice speech. Beat me. I guess he got me this time. I'll have the baby first. You know, with, you know, now the guy just becomes a device to get you a baby. I don't know, I just. It would. I'd eye roll that no matter what wedding I was at. Okay, let's do this. Okay. So then we get into the Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco surprisingly simple wedding details revealed. I think simple but expensive is like the way to go. That's how I want things. I want really simple things that are like. I want like a cheeseburger. That's amazing. Everything is not what it seems. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco star studded wedding ceremony and reception were surprisingly simple. According to Us Weekly, the outlet claimed the nuptials attended by 170 loved ones were not your typical celebrity lavish event. Okay, well, what does that mean? They both just wanted to dance and have fun. You could feel so much love from them. Instead, the venue was littered with cocktail tables with guests enjoying Nobu catering and an elaborate ice cream bar that is, again, simple but expensive. We're gonna have sushi, but it's gonna be Nobu and we're gonna Have a bunch of options. And it's gonna be, listen, I'm into it. Elaborate ice cream bar. We're doing ice cream. All the flavors, all the toppings. Go get your own. The bride, 33, and the groom, 37, did their first dance without shoes on. Setting the stage for a night. Everyone dancing barefoot to Mark Ronson's DJ set and having the best time. The shoes off thing is a little bit of a marketing ploy. I just want our shoes. Take your shoes off. I'd be like, oh, I kind of, like, want to wear my shoes. I don't want to, you know, I'm not looking to get blisters. I had a whole plan here. I'm not into that. To me, you want to do your fun no shoes thing. You guys go ahead. As for the wedding's very eclectic decor, Blanco himself styled it himself with a lot of velvet elements. And then they showed the outlets. Insider claimed it was very much similar to their Beverly Hills home. He is very into design and loved doing it. I believe that he's. I mean, he's written a ton of songs. They had rugs and carpets everywhere because Benny does not like to wear shoes. This is. This is one of those things that, like, oh, you are, you know, it. It shows what type of a king you'd be when you have a wedding. When you have a wedding, it shows what type of royalty would you be. Would you be a king that your subjects loved, or would you be a weirdo king that has a bunch of rugs and everyone has to go barefoot because that's how you see the world? Would you be a mean king who forces his attendees to show up, dress the way he wants, and if anyone gets out of line, he'll kick you out of their wedding. Like, I really do think we see what type of dictator you would be. As for the pair's heartfelt and sweet vows, guests were left in tears over Blanco's reported nod to Gomez's 12 year old sibling, Gracie. Okay. The songwriter presented his new sister in law with a coupon book for whatever she needs from the couple, including a day to hang out and shopping. Homemade coupon book still working. Still. Still doing it. Homemade coupons for the win. You could be the richest guy. Like, if I'm the 12 year old sister, I'm like, okay, well, how about you write a song for me to sing? How about that? How about you make me the biggest celebrity alive? Last story. This one, I bring this up, you know, you don't want to dance on the grave. Kristen Cavallari's ex husband. I mean to call Jay Cutler, Kristen Cavallari's ex husband jailed in Tennessee following dui. This is kind of like a. And they show his DUI photo, which not great. Uh, Kristen Cavallari's ex husband Jay Cutler began his four day sentence for DUI at a Tennessee jail. The former Chicago. You get a sentence there for former Chicago Bears quarterback arrived at Williamson. So this happened county jail in Franklin, Tennessee around 8am Pacific time Monday, according. Oh, so he did the Monday through Thursday out on Friday, ready for the weekend. Color will remain behind bars until Friday. When did he get the DUI? Last month the former NFL star, 42, was sentenced to jail after striking a plea deal in his DUI and gun possession case from 10-20-24. I will say when you're a rich guy like Jay Cutler and you get a dui, that's really a tough one to forgive. That's one of those. You're like, dude, get a driver. You. You can afford an Uber X. Like, it is so crazy for you to even risk that. And this is a lot of the Jay Cutler stories. Every Jay Cutler story, I'm like, dude, just be a fun dad who used to play in the NFL and, and has nothing but dough. Like, why be a front facing public figure? He's got a podcast. He comes out with like, his opinions. I would be in my garage doing stupid shit. Like, in addition to his jail time, he was fine. I would. No social media. I just think he's doing it wrong. You're doing it in a way. Like, if I'm Jay Cutler. And again, like, this isn't even like getting into a dui, which is like, horrible. He had his license revoked. He's also required to be one year of supervised probation and submit regular random drug tests. I don't know what his deal with alcohol is, but I know he has a podcast and he's like out there every now and again with like, like an annoying opinion. And I would just say, like, if I. It's just funny to me. Like, there's this group of people that, like, they have it right in their hands so good, and then they're just like doing everything they can to make themselves angry and horrific. So like, like, if I'm Jay, I get a big ranch in Tennessee, I have my kids playing. I'm like wearing costumes all the time. I'm doing fun shit. Yeah, that's my dream, to get rich and wear costumes. Yeah. So I Pop culture Thursday back next week, boom.
