So. So just back to the Brianna Zach breakup that I wanted to discuss a little bit more.
And that’s the crazy thing about this is, like I said, I understand why celebs and athletes want to do it, but it would, to me, it only makes sense if you had a relationship that just didn’t work out. But any sort of abuse, I don’t even know how that’s even legal. Why should that be legal for you to abuse whoever your partner is, whether it’s mentally, physically, emotionally.
And then say at the end of the relationship, Hey, I don’t want you talking about this. So here’s 5 million. Here’s 10 million. Sign this contract and you’re never allowed to talk about it. It just, there’s something inherently wrong with that, right? I’m not crazy here. Am I? That doesn’t make any sense because basically you’re getting away with criminal activity, you’re not allowed to beat somebody, you’re not allowed to physically assault your partner, but if you ha but if they agree to sign a paper and collect money, And shut up.
That doesn’t make them a gold digger. It makes you number one, a horrible person makes you even doubly horrible for paying them off to shut up. So they won’t tell your awful secrets, but it just seems like those shouldn’t be enforceable or after a while, even if the paperwork says this is in perpetuity after a while, you should be able to come forward.
I just, I don’t know. I, I, I guess I need to speak more on the legal side, someone on the legal side of this. Maybe I’ll email Rachel Juarez. And just kind of go back and forth with her on this and just be like, explain this to me because I know they happen all the time in Hollywood, all the time that people sign NDAs.
I mean, we, on a smaller scale, we’ve all heard the Derek Jeter story about when he was single and in, you know, New York and the most popular bachelor in New York, and he would have women come over and essentially the women that he did sleep with would Basically sign a contract that said you can never share your experience with anybody.
Now, this was a, and basically saying they agreed to a consensual night with him. They had to put their phones away, stuff like that. And then the, the, the urban legend that he would send them home in an Uber with a gift basket that had a signed baseball in it. Who knows if that’s true. Some people have said it is.
Some people have said it isn’t, but the whole point being, those are just that, like I said, it’s on a smaller scale because that’s a one night thing. Relationships, uh, with people. I mean, look, I don’t know if she ever signed anything, but the fact that Katie Holmes was married to Tom Cruise for five years, and we’ve never heard her talk about her marriage once, and we know how weird he is.
She clearly signed something, you know, but is she bound to that forever? You know, it just. It’s just a very, I guarantee of all the NDAs that have been signed in Hollywood, she’s probably top five of somebody we want to hear from and somebody we want to know what exactly went on in that marriage, because you’ve literally said nothing about it.
Hell, when you were married with him, you didn’t do any interviews. Really sitting by his side or talking about your married life with him. It just the whole thing is bizarre We know he doesn’t even have any contact with Suri. It’s just that’s one of the ones I think we all want to know But she’s clearly signed something how long they’ve been divorced over 10 years, right?
I mean She would have said something by now if she could, but my guess is she has signed something and it’s just unfortunate because I guarantee that relationship was not all daffodils and flowers, no way in hell, but probably not really going to hear anything from her, you know? So I don’t know. I, again, I, I don’t know how these NDAs are written up and I would be curious to know more, but they seem just ridiculous and they seem like they shouldn’t even be enforceable.
Like, Hey, I abused you, but as long as you signed this paper and I paid you, you can’t talk about the fact that I abused you. Does it make any sense? You’re committing a criminal activity. I don’t get it. Okay. I literally just spent 20 minutes on that, but it’s, it’s, it’s a very big topic. And you know, all the entertainment sites, the top story on the site right now is Brianna chicken fries podcast from last night.
So if you want to spend 90 minutes listening to it, you can probably get more details of what he did to her during that relationship. I’ve seen clips here and there, but I just played those three. Cause I thought those were relevant. So I want to move on to survivor real quick. Yesterday I screwed up when I said Rachel played her idol at the tribal council.
She didn’t, she played her shot in the dark, but when I was following Stephen fishback on Twitter last night, I, this didn’t even cross my mind. Cause I don’t really do deep dives on survivor when I’m watching it. I’m just like, Oh, that was a good move or that wasn’t a good move. But I never, I never take it a step further of wait, why did they do that?
And with Rachel, I didn’t, I, when I saw her player shot in the dark, I was like, Oh, She played her shot in the dark, which means she still has her idol. So she made it through the tribal council and she still has an idol and nobody knows about it. So Steven Fishback puts this on Twitter yesterday and he says, do we think Rachel knew where the votes were going and played the shot in the dark to avoid voting?
I think that, and also to get a read on the other players to see if they were sweating. So then he followed that up with by not voting at all, because she played her shot in the dark, she couldn’t vote. Rachel gets to number one, not betray her ally. Sierra first juror, a decisive role to not betray her ally.
Sam still in the game. And number three, not be on the wrong side of votes and alienate potential new ally, Gabe still in the game. So that’s what I mean when I say I don’t, I never, that would never have crossed my mind watching. I just looked at it. It was like, Oh, she played her shot in the dark. I guess that was smart.
She kept her idol and nobody knows she has it. So, but it goes a lot deeper than that, that she clearly had a strategy behind. Let me play my shot in the dark and let me read the reaction of everybody here. And if they’re like, Oh shit, then she would have realized, Oh my gosh, my name’s getting written down.
I might as well play my idol. So thank you to Steven Fishback for explaining survivor to me and helping me dive a little bit deeper, because that’s just not stuff I would even think about. I finally got around to watching the challenge and Johnny bananas, uh, beats Theo in, I thought it was a really good arena battle.
Because it lasted long. This wasn’t, you know, here’s a ball and try and, you know, you have to tackle each other. Don’t, you know, prevent them from putting the ball in the trash can or whatever. You know, it’s just like, we’ve seen that numerous times. I don’t know if this arena one has ever been used before.
It looked fairly new to me. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen one like this before. And I, and I really like it because it did take strategy. Now the whole card game thing is just strictly luck playing high low. It’s like, yeah, if you see a four, you’re going to guess high, but there is a possibility in a 52 deck.
52 card deck that eight cards could beat you to you know, four twos and four threes could beat you But yes, you play the odds and it’s just like oh you drew a four. Of course, I’m gonna go higher Yeah, if you get stuck with six seven or eight, it’s you’re just like at the mercy of it’s just a complete guess you have Yes, there might be some slight advantage, but it’s all math when it comes to that but the actual Building of the course like Johnny had to put those poles into Theo’s You Entrapment that he had to get through and vice versa, Theo to put his into bananas.
So I really liked that arena battle. I thought it was a really good one. And I know there were probably some diehard challenge conspiracy theorists out there and people who don’t like bananas that might have and might be in the mindset right now of, Oh, what a surprise in the arena. They didn’t put bananas in a challenge where he had to go up against Theo in any sort of physical competition.
You know, he’s taller than him, weighs more than him, and he’s quicker than him. If they go into hall brawl, Theo absolutely wipes the mat with bananas. We know the show likes bananas. We know they like to keep him on the show as long as they can. Is there something to it? Maybe, maybe they did say, yeah, it’s bananas against Theo.
We want to keep bananas here. Yes. Theo still could have won. For that particular challenge and the entrapment that they had to work their way through, it does seem to me that it would have been a lot harder to navigate your way through that thing, regardless of how many polls, because it seemed like both of them had the same amount of polls in each person’s entrapment.
It does seem like it would be harder for a 6’7 guy with long limbs to navigate his way through that versus bananas. That’s all I’m saying. I’m not saying it was rigged for bananas, but I’m sure people out there and in the challenge world who follow this show and dissect the show way more than I do are probably saying that arena challenge favored bananas and they did it on purpose.
It’s possible. Who knows? And one final thing I want to talk about, not ergonomic pillows, which dominated my for you page for the longest time. I still get them on occasion, but you know what is now on my for you page on tick tock probably every fifth video. And it’s because every time I see it, I stop and watch.
So it knows what I’m watching. It’s great. And maybe I will play some of them for you next week. So many old school clips. Of Bob Eubanks hosting the newlywed game and I’m talking clips from the, I mean, these are all old clips, like from the seventies and these couples. By the way, how come people in the 70s when they were in their 20s look like they were in their 50s?
It’s so bizarre. I mean, it’s the whole the Wilford Brimley thing, you know Wilford Brimley in cocoon was 50 years old Paul Rudd is what 52 53 now You could pair those two and you’re like, what? But yes, people in the seventies and eighties when they were in their twenties and thirties looked way older than we do now, or we, I’m not in my twenties and thirties, but people in their twenties and thirties look now.
But the whole point is watching these old clips and the answers that they gave, and watching these couples get mad at each other and how revealing they were nowadays, if this happened, I would think every couple that would go on a newly wood game. Would be told give as risque as an answer as you can ham it up for the cameras I don’t know.
There was no social media back in the 70s I think these people were actually being real and legit. I could be way off. Maybe they were told I’m sure they were told by producers like hey, make it fun. Make it funny. Give funny answers and stuff like that maybe even risque but I don’t think it would have been as produced as it would be if the Newlywed Game was happening today.
Because I just wouldn’t buy anything if they brought back the Newlywed Game now. I wouldn’t buy anything these couples were saying because they’re just going to do whatever they can to try and make a viral moment. In the 70s you weren’t looking to make a viral moment because there was no social media.
So I’m walking, watching, listening to these clips and they’re hilarious. And I, I want, I almost feel like I want to get in touch with any of these couples, but I don’t know. Are they alive still? They’re probably not even married because this was in the, I mean, it’s 50 years ago. So. It’s just hilarious to watch some of these clips.
And I swear, I stop and watch every single one and I listen to these answers, but man, old school newlywed game was so funny. And we all remember the all time clip. The all time game show clip is from newlywed game. And I played it for you on this podcast. I don’t know, earlier this summer, maybe I’ll play it again on Monday, but the woman was asked, what is the weirdest place you and your husband have made?
I, I might be phrasing the question wrong, but essentially it was, what is the weirdest place you and your husband have made whoopee? And the woman said in the ass, and there was an urban legend for going on for the longest time of that didn’t really happen. She, a woman never said that on television in the seventies.
Did she? I came across that clip, uh, on TikTok, so it’s, it’s definitely out there. I played it for you this summer, too. It definitely, it definitely was said. Her name was Olga, and she said it. So, if I can find that clip again, I’ll, maybe I’ll play it. And I’ll play you some of the other ones that I’m hearing.
Because they’re just so funny, and I really don’t think. Because there was no reason to try and get famous. You couldn’t get famous for going on the Newlywed Game back then. There was no social media. There were no viral videos back then. So, it makes me, Think that these people were actually just being honest with their answers and they weren’t trying to make stuff up just for television moments.
So I don’t know, but somehow type in newly wood game on Tik TOK and watch some of these clips because they’re very, very funny anyway. Thank you all for listening. I really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple podcasts, also rate and review, but you got to hit play. It’s the only way it counts as a download.
Sports daily is up in an hour from now. My picks for the weekend. I’m already wanting to know, had the bangles last night. Plus the six. Easy, easy winner, right? trailing by seven, twice in the last seven minutes of the game. No, um, but I’m already one and oh for the week in NFL, so that’s good. Anyway, thank you all for listening.
I really appreciate it, and I will talk to you on Monday.
See.
