And I'm that type. I like to have a cup of coffee. I try, I'm trying to cut back on coffee and this is a good way to do it because I need the hand to mouth of a coffee, you know, so I'm drinking a lot of iced coffee, I'm chewing on ice.

I like a continuation of a story. Tom Brady's quote, fun fling with Alex Earl is more than just a random hookup. This is a fun headline to me. We already talked about how Tom Brady obviously is going through something to, you know, hook up with Alex Earl and have this in the news. You know, you can blame whoever you want. The, the, the, you know, this is. We live in a patriarchal society. I do feel smarter when I say that as a man, especially as a straight man. But I, I'll say the, the rush to she wants to be seen with him is evident with this story. Everyone's kind of rushed to the, the same old tired, you know. And listen, that might be true, but I'm here to say we also have many stories since Tom Brady's retirement of older man moving into the next phase of life, acting out. So let's not say that Alex Earl, because she's a hot blonde and on social media. So she is, you know, anyone who gets big on social media is kind of given that unfair assessment that they are just climbing their way to the top of the I have no talent mountain. And that may be true with Alex Earl, but let's not make it 100% an Alex Earl thing, because Tom Brady, as I discussed last time, is a guy who was allegedly left, I don't know, cheated on. I don't think that I don't know the story well enough to speak about it that way, but I will say his ex wife is with the trainer and has a kid with him. So you're also like, all of this is Shakespearean to me. He's called the goat, the greatest of all time. Who wouldn't want to be with him? Oh, wait, he's dating, married to, has kids with one of the greatest supermodels of all time as well, in their own right, the goat, on their own terms. And now he's left for the jiu jitsu instructor and they have a kid together. So what was it all for? Why climb to the top of your industry as a man if it doesn't get you the woman? These are all tropes and societal things that we all deal with. But to say, you know, you know, where the story's been that Tom Brady has been somehow. Oh, yeah, I guess I'm hooking up. No, he's acting out. He's hooking up with way younger woman who is famous for being hot on TikTok. So I think Tom Brady's Quote, fun fling with Alex Earl is more than just a random hookup to me when I read that, that is Tom Brady's publicist joining forces with Alex Earl's publicist to say, we have lost the narrative. Alex Earl doesn't want to be known as climbing woman. Tom Brady doesn't want to be known as creepy old man. So let's get control of this by going to our people at Page Six and say, hey, we're gonna put a little cap on this. We're gonna put a theme to this. It's a fun fling, but it's not just random. He's not just leaving her place and being like, sia, what's your name? He's not being asked, hey, Tom, what do you think of Alex? Oh, oh, that chick. That chick I banged. They want to control the narrative. This is. Because how would anyone know this is more than a random hookup. Are we going to find out that, you know, they know each other's favorite color? What's the. What's the. What are we going to find out from this article that we go, oh, my God, this might be for real. Woman who just ended things because she wants to move to Hollywood and is 24 years old, really seems to like Tom Brady in his 40. Is he 50? 50 year old Tom Brady who has nothing in common with her. Wow. Tom actually thinks she's cool. She's seen movies he's seen. Like, what is the. What are we going to get real, you think? Listen, I'm coming in as a cynical as I can be. As one could be. Tom Brady's fling with new. See, they're calling it a fling. It's not called a hookup. This is two brands, Tom Brady Enterprises and Alex Earl Incorporated, coming together to say, hey, we lost control of the narrative. Tom Brady's fling with new flame. New flame. Flame. That's not what you call chick. I banged once in the islands when I was on winter break. Tom Brady's fling with new flame Alex Earl is more than just a random hookup. Page Six can confirm that Brady and Earl are both having, quote, fun amid their budding, albeit not that serious, fling. See, not that serious is in quotes. So they have, quote, fun, budding, albeit not that serious fling. That is Tom Brady and Alex Earl saying, him saying, I don't want to be known as creepy. Her saying, I don't want to be known as, you know, a. A temptress. As a climbing woman using her body to get ahead. I both of them want this to be a different story. I don't know about you. I am not dumb enough to think of this as creepy old man and seductress young woman who wants to climb her way to the top. I am thinking these are two people that both get something out of this. But the idea that they're, you know, that they have to tell me that, you know, I'm not sitting there calling her a. And him, you know, a grandpa. Grandpa cuddles, you know, and. And being a dick either that. However, we're told that the retired football star is very particular, intentional and perfectionist. I mean, this is. I'm so right. However, we're told that the retired football star is, quote, very particular, quote, intentional, quote, perfectionist who, quote, hook up with just anyone. See, propping her up. Propping him up so he wouldn't be entertaining the social media personality if he wasn't genuinely interested in her right now, based on that line, this is more from Tom Brady's PR people than it is hers. This is Tom Brady cleaning this up because that was just a hero's sentence. Reps for the former NFL star and influencer did not immediately respond to Page Six requests for comment. Yeah, because they already gave their comment via the line that I just read. Brady 48, Earl 25, first sparked romance rumors over New Year's holiday as they Both rang into 2026 in St. Barts. Yeah. Then they repeat the story. See, there's no story here. There's Brady's publicist wants everyone to know that this is totally appropriate. He's not Bill Belichick. That is every older man's thing right now. Every older man is trying to get right behind the Bill Belichick Pace car. I used to call it the drunk pace car when it came to drinking at a party, you wanted to find the drunkest person in the room. Find them, and if you could, now you are sober enough where you can see a drunker person. Okay? Stay behind that person. That's the drunkest person in the party. Now, I'm not everyone else. Faceless, nameless. That's the drunk pace car. Bill Belichick is the creepy old man dating younger woman. Pace car. He's the guy that all the older men are looking at going, okay, all eyes on him being weird with his girlfriend. That's too young for him. Cool. I'm not him. I'm just dating this other woman who happens to be younger. But we know the same movie quotes, so it's more than just something about sex. I'm not Bill Belichick. That's what all the older men are doing. It's a. It's a. It is a tale as old as time. Let's do another story. I this story again. This brings me to Detective J Train. This. This makes me. I side eye this story. Inside Jennifer Aniston's low key 57th birthday celebration with boyfriend Jim Curtis. Jim Curtis the magician. I think. I think he's a magician, which is crazy. I don't understand why this story needs to happen unless Jennifer Aniston has a movie or something to push. Because inside Jennifer Aniston's low key 57th birthday celebration with boyfriend Jim Curtis is. Did they sit on the couch and watch movies? Did they watch Friends? What did they do? Because this is not an interesting enough story for Jennifer and it just shows the power of Jen Aniston. We all care way more about Jen Aniston's love life than we should. We have. Since she's notoriously unmarried. Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend Jim Curtis reportedly celebrated her 57th birthday with an intimate date night. They had a low key dinner a night and. And they had a low key dinner a night in for her birthday. Where's the story? What are we pushing? Jennifer Aniston just must. Must be a capitalist pig because I don't know what she's pushing here, but she's pushing something to have to have a story about getting dinner and staying in with her boyfriend for her birthday. It's not even her 60th. It's a 57th birthday. That's a nothing birthday. The friends alum whose special day was on February 11, quote, didn't want to do anything huge for her birthday and only wanted quality time with him to celebrate. Nothing crazy. Okay? They show them laughing. They show them dressed up as someone who has everything. Right? As someone who has everything. Okay, if this is in quotes as someone who has everything, then why is she in page six? Why are we reporting on her? What is if she has it all? What other mountains are there for her to climb? She especially cherishes Jim's handwritten cards. Was this all to just make us think that Jennifer Aniston is like a nice person? His thoughtful and sentimental gifts, the insider noted, saying that the little things go far with Jen. We've gotten nothing from this article. Aniston, however, did plan a special weekend with her close friend group. The insider also divulge details about the actress and Curtis Curtis's personal relationship, claiming that they have been inseparable since they were first romantically linked last summer. This is the most comfortable she has felt in a long time. It's still going well. Explaining that the morning show star is really happy. The Hypnotherapist okay, so the hypnotist, hypnotherapist. The hypnotist that was on a cruise ship two years ago now dating Jennifer Aniston, 50, reportedly gives Aniston a sense of stability and peace in her life. Did he hypnotize her? Is that how he's with her? According to the source, the couple has also been spending more time in Montecito recently being low key. He's a good looking dude. He looks good in a black and white photo. A rep for Aniston wasn't immediately available to page 6 for common Curtis public publicly honored the Just Go with it stars birthday with a sweet photo of them kissing via Instagram last week and hbd to my heart he captioned the tribute. What is this article for Curtis and Aniston, who an Instagram official in November 2025 were first rumored to be dating. The businessman shared on the Today show in January that he and Harba boss star were introduced by friends and chatted for a long time before becoming close. While he didn't share when when they started dating, Curtis explained that it took almost close to a year. I gotta say here's, here's my theory on this. Is it Curtis that hired a PR agent that is now placing the story out there? Because I'm like who has anything to gain Jennifer Aniston either? It's one of two things. The hypnotist got a PR agent and is pushing a tour that's coming in the in the next few weeks and months. That's one. Oh, I want to go see Jennifer Aniston's hypnotist boyfriend. That's what people would say. 2. Jennifer Aniston has so much money that she's forgotten that she's paying PR agents and they're just doing this as normal business. That's all that I can think of that that's a story we'll be tracking here on the jcu. That is a story we will be I'm putting that in my pocket for later down the road. I have a feeling this isn't the last we'll hear from Jennifer Aniston. If you have a story that you want me to talk about, I I think this is interesting. If I I would love feedback. I love hearing about this show. If you have feedback on this page, on this pop culture Thursday, I want to hear what you liked, what you didn't like. If you enjoy these stories, comment on the Instagram clip that we're going to put up on J Train podcast. At J Train Podcast on Instagram, we put up clips every episode Monday through Thursday, not Friday, because we don't have video for coffee with J Train. I like this headline because it goes under the, it kind of goes in the, you know, the phylum of what how much will they actually tell us? Jason Bateman breaks down his decision to get sober over tension, quote, tension, quote, tension with wife Amanda Anka. Now, that means way more than they had some tension. He's saying, I drank too much. My wife was. To me, he, he gets sober over tension with his wife. If anyone said, yeah, I had to get sober, I had a lot of tension with my wife, I'd be my first thought on the brink of divorce. That's my first thought. This isn't, you know, we had a little, we had a tiff about, you know, I had, I had a couple beers and she got mad at me because I, you know, I, I dropped one on the floor and it crashed everywhere. We had to clean up the glass. That's not what this is. This is a major issue. Jason Bateman decided to get sober because he it could be. Jason Bateman decided to get sober because his drinking cause, quote, tension with wife Amanda Anka. Anka, 57, called the drip, drip, drip of her partner's partying decades ago. Called the drip. I don't understand that. When annoyingly un. Okay. Anka called the, quote, drip, drip, drip of her partner's partying decades ago, quote, annoyingly unpredictable. The actor told the Hollywood Reporter interview published Wednesday. She asked The Ozark star, 57, when the spigot was going to completely turn off. This is a very coded way to say, hey, you're drinking too much. Can I say Bateman gets a lot of feedback for looking amazing at his age. His wife, at 57 as well, looks unbelievable, too. They both look like they're both 45. That in the looks. Bateman recalled they had a few negotiations about his drinking. She didn't demand that I completely absolve, but that was sort of the back and forth. I was like, well, I feel like my sobriety eta is six months away, but I could land this plane now. It would alleviate a lot of tension. So let's just do it. That sounds like someone who's coming. Yeah, let's just do it. Like, I, I would want. That wouldn't be what how I'd want my partner to get off of Alcohol. Hey, it feels like you're drinking a little too much. Yeah, let's just do it. Yeah, we'll do it. I'll get off it. No problem. Well, this seems to be a big. Okay. If you really. You think it's that. That's like that to me is brushing aside a lot. The smartless podcast co hosts continue. Yeah, yeah. We all know him for his podcasting that drives as a podcaster who's doing this alone and begging you to go check out the Instagram handle. That's right. That. That sentence just drove me crazy. The Jason Bateman is not the podcast co host. He's Jason Bateman, the actor whose name got him a big audience for his podcast. That's just okay. And gets great guests because it's Jason Bateman. So, yeah, that's my quote. Bateman clarified that he has abstained from alcohol and cocaine, which he dubbed the Scarface stuff since. But smoke. But does smoke marijuana. So is California sober. I mean, cocaine marijuana. To put those in the same bucket. Quite a. I mean, thoughts and prayers to your weed smoking friends. Reputations. I've got friends who had bottoms that were pretty chilling, but I was lucky enough to recognize this is probably as far as I should go if I still want to accomplish the things I want to get to. That's the most reasonable thing he said so far. I was conscious the whole time of wanting to get a lot of these boxes checked before I became a father and a guy with a career that I not only wanted, but had a feeling I might be able to get if I just got the right job. The Emmy winner said, okay, well, this is enough. Yeah, he's the Emmy winner who also has a podcast that people listen to because he's an Emmy winner. Let's not. Let's get things straight now. I'm going to go to this story. This story we've read before. We've. We read a version of it. This Brandy Glanville story, which is a black mirror episode. Brandi Glanville finally reveals what caused facial parasite that aged her, quote, 20 years overnight. So that's a quote from her that she got aged 20 years overnight. The story of beautiful, conventionally beautiful woman. She was in the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and she's like a blonde that you would turn your head to look at. She is blonde in the Barbie Beverly Hills way. And she gets a face parasite. That is a black mirror episode. That is a Aesop's fable. That is a teachable tale where beauty in the eye of the beholder and a beautiful person who's conventionally beautiful. Societal standards. Then gets a face parasite and becomes a different looking person and learns along the way what it's like to be on the other side. This is like a old tale that's been done many ways. So it is interesting. It starts with finally some answers. Yeah, we've all been waiting to hear what happened to Brandy Glanville. No, Come on. Brandi Glanville revealed her breast implants are to blame for her facial. Facial disfiguration. Again. That goes into the black mirror. Someone who's so obsessed with beauty, they need breast implants even though they are the most. One of the more beautiful people in the world. Like, she is gorgeous. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told TMZ on Tuesday that her breast implants from 20 years ago had ruptured, leaking silicone into her lymph nodes, clogging them and ultimately causing the facial infection. That's crazy. Even with the facial infection, they show a picture of her. She looks good like it. It is. But I'm sure, you know, again, she's been beautiful her whole life. I'm sure they show a picture of her before in 2013, and you're like, she is the Barbie look. You know, it's so. I definitely had a parasite. I was shocked because I've had my implants for 20 years almost. She told the outlet. They looked fine, they felt fine. The mammogram said they were fine. It wasn't until I had a sonogram, I was just feeling like, you should check that too. Why not? I've checked everything else. She continued, before adding that she has gone to 21 doctors and spent so much money to get the root. To get to the root of her health issues. There's such a thing as breast implant illness. You really should change your implants every 10 years. I just didn't do it. If it's not broke, don't fix it. I learned a really, really hard lesson, she reflected. I mean, this is one of those stories that if you do have implants, it does sit with you, I'm sure. Or you know someone and. And they've had them a long time. You should get them changed. Every 10 years you go, okay, good to know. Look at. And. And now she like. And honestly, she becomes a little bit of a hero. Per the Cleveland Clinic, breast implant illness refers to the wide range of symptoms that develop after getting breast implants. These symptoms could develop sooner after years later. They show her now. I mean, she still looks great I just think this is a. It sucks to age. Like, here's her quote. It sucks to age like 20 years overnight. I mean, someone out there younger than her, who looks older than her after her face parasite is a little bit annoyed. Like, Brandy still needs to like check herself a little bit. Like, it sucks to age like 20 years overnight while still looking model esque, like from a face parasite. All of us non face parasite. Having people, all of us agos with our normal face that haven't had a face parasite that are still uglier than you are a little annoyed. Noting she's been undergoing laser treatments for her face and recently had breast implants changed. All right, we're done with this story. I've done enough. I, I'm, I've had enough of her. I'm, I, I love this story because it is such a, a lie. This is a lie. This is an absolute lie. Because when you get offended and then say, you know what, I was a little sensitive. You do it within the first month of being offended. Because here's the headline. Hilaria Baldwin finally seems able to laugh over her fake accent controversy. No, no, I'm not allowing this. She's not cool and chill. Now. It's been years since we all came to the conclusion that she grew up in Weston, Massachusetts, and is my age and suddenly has a Barcelona accent because some cousins were there on a cruise. So now the idea that, like this article is someone looking at a lot, looking at Hillary and saying, hey, you know, if you really want to change your look to this, you know, to everyone, since, you know, she goes on Dancing the Stars. So she hears from social media again, they repeat the same jokes about the accent. Anna Roisman is doing the impression of her and does it to perfection. And she's probably sitting here now going, okay, I've heard enough. How do I, I gotta change the rep and the brand. And the PR person goes, you can say something about the accent. Say you get it now. And it's like, no, it's too late. You had, you could have been like, oh, I guess I do do that. That is stupid of me. And we're. It would have been over. You didn't do that. It is, how you say, hilarious. A spy tells us the Hilaria Baldwin who once blamed a coordinated mob for questioning. Oh, she said it was a coordinated mob for questioning. Her ever evolving accent showed she can laugh at the controversy during a Valentine's themed lunch for Gurus magazine. What is Gurus magazine? Is. That's a yoga magazine. She was a yoga teacher. That's the most honest magazine she's been on. She was yoga teacher Hillary from Weston, Massachusetts, who then slept with Alec Baldwin and then, for whatever reason, decided to have 13,000 kids. That is the story. The spy tells us that when the mag's founder stylist Derek Warburton stood up to thank guests for coming, he couldn't resist a playful jab at the former Dancing with the Stars contestants. Hilarious. Said thank you and her signature faux Spanish accent. And Derek joke backed, I love you whatever accent they think you use, which had about 50 people breaking out in laughter. Says the spy. Okay, that. So this. Wait a minute. That old scene. So hilarious. On the COVID of this guy's magazine. Alaria said thank you in her signature faux Spanish accent. So she goes. And Derek joked back, I love you whatever accent they think you use. Wow, what a dig. And then everyone laughs at her. We hear the designer Nicole Miller, Sutton Strack from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills publicist Anna Rothschild and former America's Next Top Model judge no Lay Marin attended the event at Maison Close. Okay, then it goes back to the story. So I don't think this is her getting it now. I. This sounds like it's. This should be titled Hilaria Baldwin gets made fun of at an event where it's celebrating her on the COVID How do you say in English the mom who grew up as I mean to go back in 2020, social media began noticing some inconsistencies in Alec Baldwin's wife's personal story and her accent. Video circulated online of her speaking with a thick accent, like during a Today show cooking segment where she appeared to forget how to say the word cucumber. How do you say it? English. The mom who grew up as Hillary Hayward Thomas. The mom, Hillary Hayward Thomas in Boston asked the host, how do you say it? English is crazy. In her book Manual not included. She has a book. I mean, I have a book and people might say that about me, but, like, I don't. What's the expertise? Baldwin claimed blame the accent. Mix up on code switching. Hey, she learned that phrase two days ago. That's to me. To me, there's no worse person. I'm sorry. My opinion is. I mean, it would take quite a meeting with me and her to change my opinion. When you say that your accent that you suddenly picked up when you say when you grew up in Weston, Massachusetts, one of the richest areas in the Massachusetts suburban Boston area. When you grow up in one of the richest areas of. Of Massachusetts and Then you say you don't know how to say cucumber because of code switching. I just think you're horrific. I think you're absolutely like the problem. I think you're, you're net negative. Is it? Am I made my opinion clear so I got sent. Some of you may know my good friend the baby who does the movie. We should do another movie review podcast. He does movie reviews here, the baby. And he sent me this Shia labof article earlier today and he nailed it. Because I think Shia labof got kicked off of Bourbon street and the baby nailed it. He goes, how bad do you have to be to get kicked off of Bourbon Street? Like how? And then here's the article. Shia LaBeouf Le Buff LaBeouf tomato, tomato. Read receipt, read receipt. Shia LaBeouf headbutts man during heated confrontation and distressing video before Arresting I will say of the confrontations, of the moves you could do during a confrontation, headbutting is the most crazy to headbutt someone. You just do not care about your own well being. You are like, if I heard someone headbutted someone, I'm immediately like walking around them. When it comes to social situations, I'm crossing the street from them. I'm going to the other sidewalk because that's crazy. Shia LaBeouf headbutted a man during a heated confrontation outside a New Orleans bar Tuesday shortly before his arrest. Per footage obtained by tmz, the Transformers star got into a brawl with multiple people after several days of non stop partying during the city's Mardi Gras festival. In Tuesday's video, the actor spoke to an older gentleman before lunging forward and smashing his head against the other man's face. Like, it is such a crazy move to headbutt someone and you can really hurt them. The individual did not retaliate against laboof, who had his arms tucked into his shirt during the interaction. Yeah, he looks like he's wearing his T shirt as a straight jacket, which is what you headbutt when you're wearing a straight jacket. The outlet also contained a clip of the Even Stevens alum shirtless and missing a shoe. If you're missing a shoe, this kid's in trouble. Kid. I think we're the he's probably older than me. This is a Shia LaBeouf. It does seem like he enjoys the angle of torture. Genius. He was, he was great as a child star. Great. No, there is no doubt. And then he was great as a child star becoming like a serious actor. I think he's, he's they have there. I think there's like video of out there of him doing stand up at like, like 9 years old. Like to have the ability to put a joke together like that age, there is genius there. But he also reminds me of the. The kid who was told he was a genius enough times to believe it, and then they just became annoying. Like, there's a point in your life where you go from, oh my God, isn't he smart? To now you have to produce. And it seems like Shia produced and then was like, I'm out. I've done enough. They show him with. I mean, he doesn't look well. Yeah. The shirt off picture, that is a. That's where you don't want to be. You don't shirt off on Bourbon street after an argument is a picture I never want taken. As for what led to his arrest, LaBeouf allegedly punched a staff matter a staff member at our bar in the French Quarter and left the hot spot, only to return hours later and allegedly continued to act aggressively. Oh, so he hour. Here's when you know someone is doing something more than alcohol. This is my opinion, is if it goes hours. Alcohol puts you to bed, you're done, it's over. You can only go for so long if you're coming back hours later to avenge the argument you had earlier. We got other substances at play. So this guy is on a bad. This ain't, you know, pregame too hard. No, that's a bad story. That's a tough one. We'll do one more story. I gotta say this to me, Heidi Klum stories are always like, showing you how far away she is from society. Like, when I see a Heidi Klum story, I go, yeah, this is someone living on Elysium. This is someone who's trying to relate to the everyday Jim and Joe who has no idea how he lived. Because here's the title, why Heidi Klum waited, quote, a whole year to wear her naked Grammy's dress. So she has a Grammy. Like, as if we're all wondering, oh, my God, what took her so long to wear the dress. Heidi, are you okay? Like, the idea that we're all sitting here in 2026 with all the ills in the world that I don't need to list off or remind you of. And the idea that she could ever say I waited a whole year. You'll never guess why. It's such a crazy reason. Like, this title is her. Is someone saying that this is like a crazy reason she's in the dress. She Looks unbelievable. And I. And naked. Yeah, I guess I would call it a naked dress, but not like, you're not. It doesn't have, like, nips on it. Or does might. She looks unbelievable. Heidi Klums bearing new details about her barely there, 2026 Grammys look when the supermodel hit the red carpet earlier this month wearing a nude leather dress by German designer Marina Horman Sader that had been custom modeled to her, that had been custom molded to her curves. It looks like that. It's an unbelievable dress. The naked look instantly went viral, but Klum, 52, recently revealed that she originally planned to wear the head turning outfit to last year's show instead. Oh, my God. Really? You were gonna wear last year? Then what happened? Like, as. As this is a story that if told at like a dinner party, we'd go, can you believe she took over the whole dinner party with her stupid fucking dress story? Like it. It is to me. Heidi Klum just wants to be this. It's a good PR agent. Let's get her in the news. Oh, yeah, we got this story. The stupid story about her dress. A different dress came in. She told people. And I changed my mind again last minute. Oh, my God. Really? But Klum, who Baklum was set on the look getting it, but Clum was set on the look getting its Grammy moment. So she waited another 12 months to bring it out. I thought, this is a true Grammy dress because people are a little bit more expressive there with their fashion. The style star said, okay, they show the back. The butt on the back is like an actual butt, like you. The crack is in the dress. Oh, it was. It was molded to her body. So it is her body. While the dress was made endless headlines. Well, it didn't make endless headlines. This is the first time hearing about it, and I'm as. I do a pop culture show every week. It wasn't the easiest to wear. It was very hard to walk in because it's very hard material. Clum admitted this is such a boring story. This is a story that I just need one quote of Clum going. I know nobody cares about this. I know there's bigger problems. There's some things that when you talk to the press, you have to say, I know my dress to the Grammys that was molded to my body and shows my ass crack is like the dumbest thing in the world. But it was hard to walk in. Like, that's how you have to say it. It's kind of like an armor piece front and back. There's no slit and there's just, and there is just no give. You can only do baby steps. Tiny little baby steps. She added, that's where there's a lot of fun memes going around now of me running around on the red carpet. Okay, okay, she saw the memes. Where's the dress now, you might wonder. Probably in a museum. Klum got to keep the iconic look and now it's in this gorgeous box and back in the basement. She must have quite a basement. I mean this dress, that's a human sized dress that is hard. So you can't like throw it in the closet. You can't hang it up. It's got to be put, it has to be put in the basement like where you put a bicycle. I j train podcast gmail.com if you have any stories you want to send in Pop culture Thursday back next week. Boom.
