00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Hey, it's people in tech.
00:05 Starting with the burning question everyone is asking,
00:08 even this guy, who definitely didn't have
00:10 Travis Kelce dating Taylor Swift on his 2023 bingo card.
00:14 Honestly, same.
00:15 I gotta get to the bottom of this and I know who to call.
00:18 Let's bleep and go.
00:20 (phone ringing)
00:22 - Hey, Mako, I think I know all too well
00:25 what you're calling.
00:26 - All right, Janine, everyone's going crazy
00:28 over seeing Taylor Swift at Travis Kelce's game.
00:31 What's going on with these two?
00:32 Are they dating?
00:33 - Girl, well, it's early stages, okay?
00:36 But we do know that she met his mom and dad
00:39 and that she had a great time at that game
00:42 that we were all watching.
00:43 I mean, he had a touchdown right in front of her
00:46 and they beat the Bears, I think 41 to 10.
00:49 So it was a good day all around.
00:50 And they left together and get this girl,
00:53 he rented out a whole restaurant
00:55 so he could party with her and his team.
00:57 It was a time.
00:59 - And it's such a new romance,
01:00 but there's so much happening.
01:01 Like his jerseys are just flying off the shelves
01:04 and he actually talked about her in his podcast.
01:07 - Shout out to Taylor for pulling up.
01:09 That was pretty ballsy.
01:10 - He said that it was just really sweet
01:12 to have her there rooting for him
01:15 and that all of his family had really nice things
01:17 to say about her, which is cool.
01:19 And he also said that it was a game to remember,
01:21 but he stopped short of going into details
01:24 because he said, you know, I'm on a podcast.
01:27 I talk about my life,
01:28 but she's not necessarily talking to the media every day.
01:31 So I want to protect what we got going on.
01:34 - And you know, Taylor talks through her music.
01:36 You think we'll get a song about Travis?
01:38 - Ooh, I would love that,
01:40 but I hope it's not a breakup song.
01:42 Let's keep it going.
01:43 - I wish I could keep this conversation going.
01:45 Thank you for breaking it down, Janine.
01:47 - No problem. Talk to you later.
01:48 - All right, bye.
01:50 So listen, Ariana Maddix is getting her revenge.
01:53 Oh, you thought we were done talking about Scandaval?
01:56 Nope, not yet.
01:57 Sorry.
01:58 Remember the Vanderpump reunion, the revenge dress?
02:01 She wore a similar version
02:02 on the premiere of Dancing with the Stars.
02:04 - Dancing the tango with her partner, Pasha Pashkov.
02:07 It's Ariana Maddix.
02:09 - A serve then, a serve now.
02:11 Get it, girl.
02:13 Y'all ready for a little tennis lesson?
02:15 Okay, let's get into it.
02:16 Do work hard like little Olympia Ohanian.
02:19 Do focus on proper form
02:21 and do recruit your papa as your ball boy.
02:24 Serena, you're teaching her well.
02:26 And here's what not to do.
02:28 Don't go barefoot like Kim Kardashian.
02:30 And definitely don't hold your racket like this.
02:33 Serena, help this girl out, please.
02:36 All thirst traps have a common goal.
02:39 Most of the time, it's attention.
02:41 But cooking tips?
02:41 Now that's a new one.
02:42 Kevin Bacon posed with a massive zucchini,
02:45 we assume from his and Kira's farm.
02:47 And in his caption,
02:48 he innocently asked what he should do with it.
02:50 The comments actually came to his rescue with ideas,
02:53 but I'm sorry.
02:54 The tank top, the muscles, the tasseled hair,
02:57 Kev, you do know what you're doing and I like it.
03:00 Ooh, this next one makes me wanna have a night
03:03 out on the town.
03:05 Okay, stay with me.
03:05 Jessica Chastain and Jeremy Strong went together
03:08 to an event at Milan Fashion Week,
03:09 but it's the after party,
03:11 or should we say parties, that we care about.
03:14 First, they linked up with Paul Metzger
03:16 and Julia Garner on the dance floor
03:17 at the Gucci after party.
03:18 Wait, was that a kiss?
03:23 (crickets chirping)
03:24 Ah, it's just a little peck on the cheek.
03:26 They're both married to other people,
03:28 but you know, once you get Madonna in your head,
03:30 she stays there.
03:31 Now back at the hotel,
03:32 they kept dancing till four in the morning.
03:36 (dramatic music)
03:37 (laughing)
03:39 Strong use of props, Jeremy.
03:41 These two clearly know how to have fun.
03:43 We're going back to summer camp
03:46 for the wedding of the week.
03:47 Now these two pretty famously lived together
03:50 in a van after "Bachelor in Paradise."
03:52 So all the rustic vibes are exactly what we'd expect.
03:54 And y'all, they went all in on their camp-out theme.
03:58 Yes, slept in cabins the whole weekend.
04:00 There were canoes, a field day competition,
04:03 but this, this is not quite the dining hall experience
04:06 I remember.
04:07 We also never got tattoos at summer camp.
04:09 I guess we never dressed like that either, huh?
04:11 But we're happy for them, so it's all good.
04:14 The baby bump of the week comes to us
04:17 from the happiest shower on earth.
04:19 I feel like the Kardashians spend more on parties
04:22 than some people spend on their weddings.
04:24 This one to celebrate Kourtney was no exception.
04:26 Nicki was everywhere in one form or another.
04:29 And they had singing dapper dance, like in the actual park.
04:33 ♪ Go baby, telephone, hello ♪
04:35 ♪ And tell me, tell me ♪
04:37 Some say a note hanging in this photo
04:39 proves Kourt and Trav are naming their baby Rocky.
04:42 Now Travis did joke about using this name back in July,
04:46 but we just don't know for sure.
04:48 But luckily for us, I think we'll find out pretty soon.
04:50 Princess Kate is in her suit era.
04:55 - Nobody likes a show off.
04:56 - No, not that suit, power suits.
04:59 Although, maybe she has watched.
05:01 It is on Netflix now.
05:03 Hmm, anyway, we've seen Kate rocking
05:06 every color suit this month,
05:07 from red and beige to blue, black, and bright white.
05:10 But our pick for the power suit of the week
05:12 is this green one, which she also wore
05:14 with a different blouse back in March.
05:16 We love a queen, well, a future queen recycles.
05:19 So Kerry Washington's whole life changed in 2018
05:24 when she found out at 41 years old
05:27 that her parents used a sperm donor to conceive her,
05:29 meaning her dad isn't her biological father.
05:32 She says it turned her whole life upside down,
05:35 but our quote of the week is how she came out
05:37 the other side.
05:38 - I was not being given the full truth,
05:40 being born into a lie.
05:43 And a lie that came from a very loving place,
05:46 like a desire to protect me and love me and shield me.
05:51 In the absence of that knowing,
05:53 I get to do this deep dive into me
05:56 and into the gratitude for the extraordinary parents
06:01 that I was born to.
06:03 I got really lucky.
06:04 I really, really, really believe
06:07 that my parents did the best they could.
06:10 - It's time for the sit down
06:11 with three-time Grammy winner Darius Rucker.
06:14 Hi, Darius.
06:15 Are you ready to get started?
06:16 - Yes.
06:17 - You're releasing your first studio album in six years,
06:20 "Carolyn's Boy."
06:21 It's coming out on October 6th.
06:23 Why is this the right time in your life
06:25 to release this album?
06:26 - Oh, it's been so long since I had an album out.
06:28 And it was just, you know,
06:30 we took our time with this record.
06:31 We wanted to make a great record,
06:33 get a bunch of great songs.
06:34 And so it just feels like now it's time for me
06:37 to have another chapter of my career.
06:39 And, you know, let's put this record out
06:41 and see what happens.
06:42 I've been on the big scene of music for 30 years now.
06:46 It just feels, you know,
06:47 like it just feels like this record's
06:48 just exactly where I am right now.
06:51 - Your new album is named after your mom, Carolyn.
06:53 What would you like the world to know about your mom?
06:56 - That she was really special.
06:57 She was my biggest champion.
06:58 She was my biggest supporter.
07:00 You know, the way she raised me
07:01 and the way she treated me,
07:03 I think allowed me to go out and do things
07:06 that people tell me I'm not supposed to do.
07:08 I think one of the great things she taught me
07:10 that I'm so proud of,
07:11 I'm so happy she taught me was to always be back.
07:13 You know, we grew up with very little,
07:16 but my mom was always helping people
07:18 and telling us to help people
07:20 and telling us always to help somebody less fortunate.
07:22 Not even less fortunate,
07:23 just help somebody that needs help.
07:25 And that's something that's stuck with me
07:28 ever since I was a little kid.
07:29 And I live by that.
07:31 - What do you think your mom would make of your success?
07:34 - Oh, she would have been amazingly proud.
07:35 You know, that's the saddest part of my life
07:38 is that she never got to see any of my success.
07:40 And she would have been just proud.
07:43 I always tell people,
07:44 her house would have been bigger than mine,
07:45 I tell you that much.
07:46 (laughs)
07:48 - I love seeing you on TikTok.
07:50 It seems like you're having so much fun.
07:52 - Three claps and a ring flair, woo!
07:55 - What do your kids make of you being on the app?
07:58 - Oh, they hate it.
07:59 You know, they're like,
08:00 "Dad, you're too old to be on TikTok."
08:02 But they make fun of me and they laugh.
08:04 But that's, you know, I love my kids.
08:06 They're funny people.
08:07 And every time I do stuff on TikTok,
08:09 I get on text and stuff,
08:10 "What are you doing?"
08:11 Oh, that was awesome.
08:12 But, you know, I love it.
08:14 - I grew up listening to you,
08:16 which feels like such a long time.
08:17 So can you name a moment from the '90s or the 2000s
08:20 that stuck with you as much as it stuck with us?
08:23 - Oh goodness, doing the Letterman Show for the first time,
08:25 Sticks Out.
08:26 ♪ I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can ♪
08:31 - Meeting the REM guys.
08:35 Wow, that was, I'll never forget that.
08:37 That blew my mind.
08:38 Meeting, the one time I got to meet Notorious B.I.G.,
08:41 you know, that sticks out.
08:42 It's, meeting, you know, meeting Al Green.
08:46 Getting to meet Al Green,
08:47 getting to meet the people who I idolized
08:50 and made me wanna sing music was just amazing.
08:53 - "Sarah" is one of my favorite songs on the album.
08:56 And I noticed that it was also co-written
08:58 by Ed Sheeran, love him.
08:59 Can you talk to me about that process?
09:01 What was the vibe like in the studio?
09:03 - It was definitely collaborative.
09:04 I went over to England for a day and we wrote,
09:06 and we just wrote a bunch of songs.
09:08 And I remember when we first started, you know,
09:11 I've known Ed since he did the Taylor tour,
09:13 like 12 years ago, whatever.
09:14 I've known him a long time.
09:15 And he was just great to work with.
09:18 And he asked me, when we were writing the first song,
09:20 he asked me who my first love was.
09:22 And I told him it was my fifth grade girlfriend, Sarah.
09:24 And we wrote a few more songs,
09:27 and then he said, "Man, I got this idea."
09:29 And I was like, "All right, let's hear it."
09:30 And he started, had a little part of it.
09:32 And I was like, "Man, yeah, we're writing that."
09:34 And that's one of my favorite songs on the record too.
09:36 I just think it's awesome.
09:37 I love that song.
09:38 - What's one way he surprised you?
09:40 - I think it wasn't a surprise,
09:42 but his songwriting ability.
09:44 I write songs with a lot of people.
09:46 He's one of the best I've ever come across.
09:48 He's just an amazing, amazing songwriter.
09:51 The way he sees the world is so different
09:53 than everybody else.
09:53 And like, he's just some, he's a special artist.
09:56 He's one of my favorites.
09:57 He's just, he's amazing.
09:58 - And finally, pick any project that you're working on
10:01 and plug it for the next 10 seconds.
10:03 Go.
10:04 - I have a new clothing line with Fanatics
10:07 and NFL MLB and select colleges.
10:10 Go get it.
10:11 (bell dings)
10:11 - Darius, thank you so much for being here today.
