You know, I love when US Weekly tries to get into the sports world, and ever since Travis, Kelsey and Taylor Swift got engaged, they can be walking down the street, chewing gum, and US Weekly will have a headline story. Well, yesterday yet, another one that was just kind of laughable, this was the headline story.
It was the first story down the left hand column on US weekly. Travis Kelsey, hugs Mom, Donna Kelsey. Ahead of Chiefs versus Texans game. That was it. So you click on the story and like, okay, what happened in an Instagram video shared by the Chief’s official account. So it’s not like US Weekly had some exclusive where they caught him hugging his mom.
No, the Chiefs posted it on their account. Travis was filmed walking up to his mother, Donna Kelsey, ahead of Sunday Night’s game. He said, Hey mama. The athlete could be saying, seen, seen, saying to Donna before he broadened his arms to give her a warm embrace. That’s the fucking story. What the hell? Look, I understand.
Anytime us weekly posts any story that has the words, Travis Kel, I Taylor Swift in it. I’m guessing it gets one gazillion clicks, but that’s why I, I, I kind of. It’s laughable, but I also kinda love it because this isn’t a story. I’m sorry, it’s not because if maybe they would’ve caught what he said to her or she said to him, it was like, yeah, he’s walking in.
The sad he saw his parents. Okay, like, come on, people, if you catch him and Taylor walking outta the game, arm in arm or hand in hand and they wave and they say something or whatever. Well, Travis probably has anything to say considering what a horse shit game he played last night with two drops at the end of the game.
One essentially sealing the victory for the Texans. And by the way, the Chief’s dynasty run is gonna be over this year because they’re probably not making the playoffs may the Super Bowl three years in a row, and they’re not even gonna make the playoffs this year. So why are we talking about Travis Kelsey walking into the game and hugging his mother?
Speaking of his mother. We know that Donna Kelsey is on this season of the Traders, and I don’t know any spoilers for the traders. It starts next month on Peacock, but I thought I might have heard something and I have no idea how true this is ’cause I don’t know how far she lasts. But this makes sense to me that people on the traders were afraid to vote Donna Kelsey out because they knew they would feel the wrath of the Swifties once the episodes aired.
Yeah, probably like you do her future mother-in-law. Wrong. They’re coming after you. So that doesn’t surprise me in the least bit. Actually, I don’t know if Donna Kelsey wins. I have no idea how far she gets, but I certainly don’t think she’s the first one out, just because that just doesn’t seem like she doesn’t seem like this giant threat and yeah.
But it is also kind of funny when you think about it like, yeah, you know what? If everyone gangs up on Donna Kelsey, oh my gosh. Social media will absolutely crucify these people. News from the Dancing With the Stars world. Last week there was a story on E Online where Alex Earl came to the defense of her boyfriend because somebody said.
And was a little worried that Braxton wasn’t at the Dancing With the Stars finale. Braxton Barrios. Alex Earl’s boyfriend didn’t come to the Dance with the Stars finale and someone said, I hope you’re okay. Hope you guys are still together. And Alex Earl underneath that comment wrote He had football to attend to.
Basically, well find out over the weekend. A week later, Alex Earl and Braxton Barrios have broken up. Which I can’t say is remotely surprising. If you heard Susanna Summers on the podcast, the weekly podcast last Thursday, I don’t think she knew anything, but she basically said, Alex Earls star is on the rise, and Braxton Barrios is kind of a nobody in the NFL.
And I’m not saying that somebody uber famous can be with somebody who isn’t famous, but we know that also puts a strain on things. Alex Earl is really starting to take off. Not that she wasn’t popular before, but yeah, I can’t say I’m too surprised that these two broke up. Did you see what happened this weekend?
Somebody made a fake Jackson Dart quarterback of the New York Giants, made a fake Jackson Dart, I guess, account and posted it of him hitting up Alex Earl. Saying, are you single now? And she’s like, what is this all about? That was never sent to me. So I mean, every day we’re seeing more and more stuff online that, I guess the best thing I can tell everybody is every single thing you see online, whether it’s on TikTok, whether it’s on Instagram, whether it’s on Twitter, whether it’s on Facebook, the first time you see it, you cannot automatically believe it.
I don’t even care if it sounds realistic. You can’t believe what you see on the internet at first glance. Always look at the story, see if there’s a link to it, but if it’s just a headline that’s got no link to where the story is from, you immediately can’t believe that. If it does include a link. Be careful about clicking on a link ’cause you have no idea where it’s gonna send you.
And if it brings you to a website that nobody’s really ever heard of before and it’s not one of the major entertainment sites, and this looks like a major headline, but US Weekly People Entertainment Weekly or Eon Online doesn’t have it on their page, assume it’s also made up. It is the best advice I can give anybody.
Most stuff you see on the internet now, especially with ai. Is just not true. It’s made up. It’s clickbait. These accounts are trying to get eyeballs, so they’re doing whatever they can and saying whatever they can to attract eyeballs. It’s just something you’ve gotta watch out for. Be careful. Don’t click on any shady links, and if you do see a story that has a major headline where you’re like, whoa, you can’t immediately go, yeah, that’s true.
You have to have to look into it. Where did it come from? Who posted this? Is this just somebody else posting somebody else’s story? Is it just being, quote, tweeted? What’s the original source of the story that I’m looking at? You have to do this for everything. I know people don’t wanna do that. You just wanna believe everything you read on the internet, but I’m telling you, most of the stuff you read on the internet just is not true, especially on the social media sites like Instagram and Twitter and TikTok.
You just have to be careful. This podcast brought to you by Zocdoc.

Because since last Thursday, I binged two shows that came out within the last month that were eight episodes long, and I’m gonna give you my reviews of them.
Spoiler free reviews of them. A lot of you may have already seen these shows. I’m a little late to the party. I believe they all, they both came out within a week of each other. The first one, it was on Netflix and it’s called The Beast In Me. It’s with Claire Danes and Matthew Reese. Matthew Reese from the Americans.
He’s Kerry Russell’s partner. Apparently they’ve never been officially married, but as I’m watching this show, I’m like, good god, Matthew Reese looks familiar. I never watched the Americans. I’m, I’m aware that he’s, this, him and Kerry Russell were the stars that, but I never watched Americans. But I was like, Matthew Reese looks so familiar to me, and I looked him up on Wikipedia.
I went through his filmography on TV and movies and I was like. I literally haven’t seen anything. This guy’s been in nothing. But he is an excellent, excellent actor and just doing a mini dive on the beast in me as I was watching it, trying to avoid spoilers. I just wanted to see where it was. I like finding out where it was shot and you know, who was the showrunner behind it and who’s the director, and stuff like that.
And. The reason I like Beast in me, this added to it, but the same creator who created 24 who also created Homeland that had. Claire Danes in it, which I absolutely loved. Also the same show runner did The Beast in Me. It’s eight episodes long. It’s really good. The plot is K Claire Danes is an author and she’s writing a book and a new neighbor moves into her neighborhood and he has gotten away with, his wife had died, I believe five years earlier, and everybody assumed he killed his wife.
He got off and he was not convicted of killing his wife. So he moves in the same neighborhood as Claire Danes and he says, I think you should write a book about me. Everybody has this opinion that I killed my wife. I want you to write a book about me, and then all hell breaks loose. I’ll leave it at that.
And you’re kind of going back and forth. It’s very homeland. I’m watching and I’m like. This has like the same beats, the same music and Oh yeah. By the way, the music composer for 24 and the music composer for Homeland also is the music composer for the Beast in me. So check it out. It’s on Netflix. I’d never do you wrong with a show.
It is very, very intense. A little slow moving in the beginning, but it is super intense and you’re like, whoa. Reveals probably starting episode three or four. You’re getting reveals every episode of like, oh wow. Okay. Got this really, really good show. It’s called The Beast in Me, and it’s on Netflix. The other recommendation I have, again, a one season eight episode show.
It’s on Peacock and it’s called All Her Fault. I watched two episodes on Saturday night and six episodes yesterday before football started and. It was really, really good. Another one where it’s kind of a, who done it, but it’s also a who done it where you can’t really figure it out because it’s revealing stuff every episode that, oh, okay, now that we know this, but it’s got so many twists and turns in it.
Just be prepared, but it’s really good. Literally the very first scene of the first episode sets up the whole story. You don’t have to wait more than two minutes into the first episode, the first scene of the first episode to know what the plot is, and that is a woman who has a five-year-old child goes to pick up her child after a play date at another woman’s house, and the woman who answers the door says, I don’t know who your son is, and I don’t know who you are.
There was no play date and. Chaos ensues from there. This woman doesn’t understand why she got a text saying, go to this house to pick up your son, but every episode more and more and more and more is revealed, and then it just gets bonkers. The last two or three episodes, you’re never going to figure it out because they don’t really allow you to figure it out.
It’s once they reveal everything, you can look back on certain things, but the certain things were like really, really small. You would never have picked up on that and said, oh, remember when this little thing happened and see in episode three, oh, that’s why. Oh, I can see you were able to piece it together after the fact.
But yeah, it’s about a kidnapped five-year-old, and the mother and the father have no idea where their kid is who took him. And then slowly but surely, things start get piecing together. But it’s one season, it’s eight episodes. It’s called All Her Fault. And it is, I, I just say the best way to describe it.
It’s a wild ride. It is just twists and turns that you just did not see coming, but really, really good. So these are very simple. Eight episodes each. Go check it out. Netflix. A Beast In the Beast in Me and on Peacock eight eight episodes. It’s called All Her Fault. Go check ’em out. You won’t be disappointed.
