Speaker 1: Folks.
Speaker 2: It is Thursday, August twentieth, and Robock recently showed me
Speaker 2: a clip of a woman who dubbed a couple the
Speaker 2: most annoying couple in the world after she saw what
Speaker 2: is now a viral video.
Speaker 3: Do you know what couple we're already talking about? And
Speaker 3: with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and DJ.
Speaker 3: I don't know, if you stop and think the most
Speaker 3: annoying couple in the world, you stop thinking about some
Speaker 3: celebrity couples and couples that do some weird stuff or
Speaker 3: in your face all the time with something on social media,
Speaker 3: that kind of a thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this couple would have risen to
Speaker 1: the top.
Speaker 4: No, And I think depending on what you think about
Speaker 4: how much people share with their lives, you could possibly
Speaker 4: put Megan and Harry on the list. People might put
Speaker 4: Taylor and Travis on the list. And I can see
Speaker 4: in that vain Katie and Justin maybe inching their way
Speaker 4: up to the of that list. I mean, I don't
Speaker 4: know who else people would consider. It's just basically they're
Speaker 4: in love and they're just throwing it out there for
Speaker 4: everybody to see. And at a certain point it's like enough,
Speaker 4: we get it. You love each other?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
Speaker 3: Okay, folks, Yes, we're talking about Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau,
Speaker 3: the former Prime Minister of Canada and one of the
Speaker 3: biggest pop stars the world has ever known. They've been dating.
Speaker 3: How long has it been now, baby, that they've least
Speaker 3: been going out?
Speaker 4: So I actually have a timeline that I was going
Speaker 4: to get into a bit later, but I can go
Speaker 4: down and look there, I actually have their first date,
Speaker 4: which is kind of crazy. Remember that picture July twenty
Speaker 4: twenty five and in fact July very sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, this is it. Why do I feel like
Speaker 1: they've been dating much longer?
Speaker 4: No, July because you see them all the time everywhere.
Speaker 4: Wait over, So yes, they were spotted on a dinner
Speaker 4: date in Canada in Montreal at the end of July
Speaker 4: last year, and then one day later they had another
Speaker 4: outing where they had cocktails and lobster at a swanky restaurant.
Speaker 5: July twenty ninth.
Speaker 1: This has been a year.
Speaker 5: It's been one year.
Speaker 1: Wait, I am You've blown my mind right now.
Speaker 3: It feels like they've I was going to sweetheart, I
Speaker 3: was actually going to say, what about three years?
Speaker 4: So no one year and that might speak to what
Speaker 4: this Australian broadcaster was referring to.
Speaker 3: Okay, so, folks, many of you have probably seen the
Speaker 3: video by now. I have been hearing about it and
Speaker 3: reading about it robes for the past couple of days.
Speaker 3: But what I had read, what I had heard, and
Speaker 3: from the stills that I saw were what that Justin
Speaker 3: Trudeau and his girlfriend Katy Perry are in a hardware store.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 3: They're shopping around for whatever like normal people do. That's
Speaker 3: cool as well. They took a video and he is
Speaker 3: dancing holding stuff. The stuff they're buying, including a plunger
Speaker 3: of ropes. The plunger is very important to the story.
Speaker 3: He's holding a plunger and he's dancing around because his
Speaker 3: son would I didn't know as a sum pop artist
Speaker 3: of some kind.
Speaker 1: His song is playing on the on the.
Speaker 4: Radio on the radio in the store speakers of the
Speaker 4: hardware store.
Speaker 3: And he's dancing and they put out a video. That's
Speaker 3: what I read now I heard. Folks thought it was goofy,
Speaker 3: it was silly, it was whatever, and some people criticize
Speaker 3: some politics came into it, but I didn't think that
Speaker 3: much of it.
Speaker 1: But then I just saw it, wrote yes, and then.
Speaker 4: So I had told you that they were getting lambasted online,
Speaker 4: made fun of, called cringe, you name it. They're the
Speaker 4: world's most annoying couple, and you had I didn't realize
Speaker 4: you hadn't seen the video yet.
Speaker 5: This all took place.
Speaker 4: We've been in Montreal for the past couple of days,
Speaker 4: so funny enough, they were just down the street from
Speaker 4: us at this hardware store, so it's it's everywhere when
Speaker 4: we would pull up our uh any kind of news
Speaker 4: outlet in Canada. There it was the trending story that
Speaker 4: everybody was talking about here in Canada, and that makes sense.
Speaker 4: But now you just watched the video, and I have
Speaker 4: to say I was shocked at how shocked you were.
Speaker 5: You were laughing. I think you watched it five times at.
Speaker 1: Least, Sweetheart.
Speaker 3: It's not I mean, it's whatever. He's being goofy. It's very, very,
Speaker 3: very goofy. I didn't know this level of goof could
Speaker 3: come out of a guy who ran the country because
Speaker 3: most of the time I have seen him, in all
Speaker 3: the years i've seen him, he has on a suit,
Speaker 3: a crisp white shirt and a tie. Now being casual
Speaker 3: is one thing, and hanging being jeans and a T
Speaker 3: shirt and being with your girlfriend, this was other level.
Speaker 3: This guy has no game, he has no rhythm.
Speaker 5: He's dorky, he is, and that's okay.
Speaker 1: Well, you were so surprised by.
Speaker 4: That because he seems suave and all the pictures and
Speaker 4: how he dresses. But I was like, that's pretty much
Speaker 4: every white man I've ever seen try to dance.
Speaker 5: I mean, so I'm not that shock.
Speaker 4: That looks like that could have been anyone I'm related to,
Speaker 4: anyone I've ever dated before.
Speaker 3: Yeah, dancers on on Seinfeld, the Lady Helene the dance
Speaker 3: lane and dance.
Speaker 5: It was very similar to that. He with a plunger
Speaker 5: in his hand.
Speaker 3: He's in that lane like, you can't believe someone is
Speaker 3: this rhythmless.
Speaker 1: You can't believe somebody is.
Speaker 3: Listening to a hip hop song and R and B
Speaker 3: song and this is the movement that his body calls for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so Justin's doing that.
Speaker 4: And then Katie is banging like head banging and jumping
Speaker 4: like a kangaroo everywhere.
Speaker 5: She's got a little hat on.
Speaker 4: But look a lot of people there were There were
Speaker 4: a a wide range of comments from folks, and it
Speaker 4: was interesting because, yes, some people get their easy targets
Speaker 4: right now to make fun of because they did look dorky.
Speaker 3: That Mabe, that is like an independent and that is
Speaker 3: a very objective way of looking at it and not
Speaker 3: making fun of, right, that just is.
Speaker 5: What it is steering to some people.
Speaker 3: I am telling you it is hilarious. I think it's cool.
Speaker 3: I've always found her to be a little quirky. This
Speaker 3: went in line with it I and Robes the video
Speaker 3: was just funny. I have nothing to say to go, oh,
Speaker 3: you dorks, you losers a way, I can't believe you
Speaker 3: looked like that. And the idea even Robes that he
Speaker 3: is willing to be goofy and dorky for the sake
Speaker 3: of promoting his son's song one or Robes, can you
Speaker 3: imagine how that feels to be going through a store
Speaker 3: and your kid's songs come comes on the radio.
Speaker 4: I think it's relatable and I do cool and I
Speaker 4: do think I am on the side of it being
Speaker 4: more endearing that they're not too cool for school, that
Speaker 4: they're acknowledging that. Yeah, like it's just kind of a sweet, vulnerable,
Speaker 4: relatable moment. But yes, Justin's son, Zav Zavi or Trudeau,
Speaker 4: but he goes by Zav. This is his song Downtown
Speaker 4: that's playing in the background. But he just began his
Speaker 4: music career last year and so look, some of the
Speaker 4: criticism is like, oh, okay, Justin Trudeau's son's trying to
Speaker 4: become a musician, and oh, he just so happens to
Speaker 4: be dating one of the world's biggest pop stars who
Speaker 4: could probably give him a few tips, which they've talked about.
Speaker 4: And look, it's just this whole idea of nepotism and
Speaker 4: Nepo babies having Nepo babies. I think was one of
Speaker 4: the jokes that this Australian broadcaster, Look, a Nepo baby
Speaker 4: gave birth to another Nepo baby and then this is
Speaker 4: the video that's the result of it. It's they're easy targets.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I don't need to defend the kid. Whatever opportunity, Yes,
Speaker 3: he has more opportunity than Sabine has because of the
Speaker 3: last name he has. That's okay, that's fine. Let's own that.
Speaker 3: It's tough for the kid. He will never can he
Speaker 3: ever make it on his own his own talent.
Speaker 1: This is a kid. It needs a change. Does what
Speaker 1: did with the Obama girl.
Speaker 5: That change your last name or just use the middle name.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're going to be in the industry, this
Speaker 3: is your name. If you really don't want people to
Speaker 3: look at you as a nemo baby.
Speaker 4: It was interesting because I was looking at how to
Speaker 4: pronounce his name, and he had been on a podcast
Speaker 4: recently and he was talking about how he gets so
Speaker 4: much hate on his social media because his dad is
Speaker 4: who his dad is.
Speaker 5: I looked at him in the.
Speaker 4: Comments because he posted this video of his dad and
Speaker 4: Katy Perry on his Instagram and has like ten thousand
Speaker 4: likes as of this recording.
Speaker 5: But the comments run the.
Speaker 3: Gamut from I didn't know that detail. I assume he
Speaker 3: would have had the gutten his dad. Okay, oh absolutely,
Speaker 3: well yeah yeah. I stopped for a second a minute, and.
Speaker 4: Then he encouraged other people to do the same. When
Speaker 4: they hear the song playing, send me a video of
Speaker 4: you dancing to my song and I'll post it too.
Speaker 4: So he was kind of using it as bait basically
Speaker 4: for folks to interact or engage with him. But some
Speaker 4: of the comments, some people said adorable Proud Papa two
Speaker 4: complete morons, amazing, living his best life. I thought you
Speaker 4: wanted to make it on your own, and now this shit.
Speaker 4: Dad's only dating Perry to get a record deal for son.
Speaker 4: Sad to see the person who ran this country to
Speaker 4: the ground enjoying himself while others struggle.
Speaker 5: I mean, so, look, you.
Speaker 4: Get it, and he's probably very used to it at
Speaker 4: this point, but it was remarkable just how much those
Speaker 4: comments swung in either direction.
Speaker 5: And look, this is the deal.
Speaker 4: When you make your relationship public like this, they obviously
Speaker 4: have to understand that, and I'm sure they're very aware
Speaker 4: that with that comes criticism. And it's just a curious
Speaker 4: each couple in Hollywood that we've watched, they take different tactics,
Speaker 4: and some swear by just being vulnerable and being transparent,
Speaker 4: and others say, yeah, keep that shit private and lock
Speaker 4: it down.
Speaker 1: A few do that.
Speaker 3: Ryan Gosling and his wife coming to mind, with their kids,
Speaker 3: they're very very private. What was her name slipped my mind?
Speaker 5: Please help me, Oh, Ryan Gosling and Eva, Yes, they have.
Speaker 1: Very very private absolutely.
Speaker 4: Matt Damon and his wife and his kids, they were
Speaker 4: all very private. Yes, George Clooney and them all. I've
Speaker 4: never seen a picture of their kids ever once a
Speaker 4: lot of times that's when people have kids, but sometimes
Speaker 4: their relationships themselves become public fodder.
Speaker 5: And public spectacle.
Speaker 4: And look, when you put these types of videos, you
Speaker 4: do get incoming.
Speaker 5: There's just no question.
Speaker 1: I just I get it.
Speaker 3: But I don't actually to be discussed, to be laughed at,
Speaker 3: to be enjoyed as entertainment that it is. I don't
Speaker 3: know why it needs to go a step further criticism
Speaker 3: like knock yourselves out, do your thing. People don't want
Speaker 3: to consume it, don't consume it. I just they have
Speaker 3: chosen to be this out there with their relationship. I
Speaker 3: don't mind. Bro, if somebody, if you're excited about who
Speaker 3: you're with now, you want to shout it out from
Speaker 3: the mountaintop, I just I'm okay with that if that's
Speaker 3: what you want to do.
Speaker 4: Look, Katie had just come out of a long relationship
Speaker 4: with her baby daddy, Orlando Bloom. He had just come
Speaker 4: out of an eighteen year marriage. He had two years
Speaker 4: in between the marriage and dating Katie, so it was
Speaker 4: all very respectable. But I went back and looked at
Speaker 4: their timeline, and it is interesting because they were seen
Speaker 4: as I mentioned in July a year ago, and then
Speaker 4: they went and found them on a yacht. I'm sure
Speaker 4: you remember this a few months later off the coast
Speaker 4: of Santa Barbara, pictures of them on a yacht together,
Speaker 4: and so then I think they just finally decided, let's
Speaker 4: just put this out there.
Speaker 5: So at the end of that.
Speaker 4: Month in October, remember that photo of Katie on her
Speaker 4: forty ft sorry, her forty first birthday in Paris, with
Speaker 4: Justin in the red dress, walking hand in hand. It
Speaker 4: looked like they called the paparazzi there to kind of
Speaker 4: just be like, yep, we're dating.
Speaker 3: I thought, I don't know why I thought that. I
Speaker 3: didn't realize I was in Paris. I know exactly the
Speaker 3: shot you're talking about, because we it looked perfect.
Speaker 5: It was perfect.
Speaker 1: So they were walking out of the abandonam.
Speaker 4: Yes, looking gorgeous, her lipstick perfectly reapplied after dinner on
Speaker 4: her birthday, and it seemed as though they just made
Speaker 4: a choice at that moment, and.
Speaker 1: They were holding hands but still didn't say anything.
Speaker 4: I think in the day after and then I actually
Speaker 4: it was there's obviously a pretty well documented history of
Speaker 4: just this past year, but from that point on, they
Speaker 4: just decided to own it. And if you go through Katie's,
Speaker 4: if you go through Justin's instagrams, every single month they
Speaker 4: have photo dumps of them showing up for each other Halloween,
Speaker 4: he dres dresses as left Shark, them kissing, from Coachella
Speaker 4: to beach photos, to the Tribeca Film Festival to.
Speaker 5: Red carpets, and I think it's just a tactic.
Speaker 4: You know, they figured they were being surveilled, they were
Speaker 4: being followed and chased by paparazzi, and so now it's
Speaker 4: a strategy. You just start putting out a bunch of
Speaker 4: photos and videos of your relationship, and therefore any photo
Speaker 4: a photographer might get, isn't that worth It isn't worth
Speaker 4: that much that you aren't hounded as much.
Speaker 3: You actually think this has more to do with strategy
Speaker 3: than love.
Speaker 5: I think it might be a mix of both.
Speaker 1: How much Which way do you lean?
Speaker 3: Because I hadn't thought about what you just said, yeah
Speaker 3: until this exact moment.
Speaker 4: And obviously they think this relationship is working for both
Speaker 4: of I don't know what his career is at this point,
Speaker 4: but with her career, obviously they think it's beneficial.
Speaker 1: You're dumping on love.
Speaker 3: Now, now you're saying they're doing all this because it's
Speaker 3: strateg and it's beneficial to them both.
Speaker 1: I do believe.
Speaker 4: I do believe they're in love. I do believe they're
Speaker 4: relationships genuine. I just think they're doing something that they
Speaker 4: feel like is working for them, and they're taking the
Speaker 4: power away from anyone who's trying to get something on them.
Speaker 5: And I do understand.
Speaker 3: That approach, but the risk there is pissing off a
Speaker 3: a an audience that feels like you're shoving your relationship
Speaker 3: down their throats. Because even people who aren't following you
Speaker 3: Robes and I had you just reeled off all these
Speaker 3: things they've been I had no idea they were doing this.
Speaker 4: Yes, Oh, if you go through their Instagram, it's just
Speaker 4: them kissing them.
Speaker 5: There's videos and dancing.
Speaker 4: They they basically give all content to anyone who wants it,
Speaker 4: and so there is zero chance anyone's going to get
Speaker 4: anything that they haven't already put out there.
Speaker 3: I had no idea of that. So in doing all
Speaker 3: of that Robes, that means all the tabloids and whatnot,
Speaker 3: you're giving them stuff to cover. So now there are
Speaker 3: more stories and more content more real, So that means
Speaker 3: your Instagram account is going to more likely find its
Speaker 3: way to me just in my regular everyday searches, that
Speaker 3: will get here they go again. Oh it's another picture
Speaker 3: of them that Okay, that might.
Speaker 4: And that is why sometimes at least it feels some
Speaker 4: people are calling them the most annoying couple in the world,
Speaker 4: which got us talking about probably what most people will
Speaker 4: consider the most adorable couple in the world, and they
Speaker 4: have chosen to take a completely opposite way of dealing
Speaker 4: with their relationship in the spotlight.
Speaker 5: Hey there, everybody.
Speaker 4: So we were just talking about Katie Perry and Justin
Speaker 4: Trudeau annoying a lot of folks with their constant content,
Speaker 4: perhaps just laughing or enjoying the most recent video we got,
Speaker 4: which you could describe as either cringe or sweet. And
Speaker 4: you got a proud papa and an excited girlfriend.
Speaker 3: As a plunger and he's holding a a tray, like
Speaker 3: a tray that you put all your cleaning supplies in
Speaker 3: his under his arm.
Speaker 5: Oh is that what it was?
Speaker 4: I thought it was a paint tray maybe even, but
Speaker 4: who knows it is?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but they look like their shop. Why do
Speaker 1: they need a plunger.
Speaker 3: Are they in the store looking for a plunger?
Speaker 1: Did they get a new place?
Speaker 4: Did he just grab the plunger to use it as
Speaker 4: a microphone. I'm thinking maybe it felt like very Tom
Speaker 4: Cruise at Risky Business when he like slides in and
Speaker 4: he's like, you know, kind of dancing really awkwardly. That
Speaker 4: reminded me, h of completely of that scene.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that scene in a long time. Tom
Speaker 3: Cruise looked like Michael Jackson compared to Justin Trudeau dancing.
Speaker 4: So yes, again, highly recommend checking that out if you
Speaker 4: haven't already seen it or if it isn't already all
Speaker 4: over your feed. But we really started thinking about the
Speaker 4: other couple that is couldn't be more in the headlines
Speaker 4: this summer with three Blockbus movies, and we're talking about
Speaker 4: Zendia and Tom Holland they have done the exact opposite.
Speaker 4: They don't promote their relationship at all. We actually had
Speaker 4: to guess that they were a boyfriend and girlfriend, then
Speaker 4: we had to guess that they were engaged, and then
Speaker 4: we had to guess that they were married.
Speaker 5: And I actually have.
Speaker 4: A timeline of just how long we had to wait
Speaker 4: for any of these things to be confirmed. They have
Speaker 4: definitely take taken the approach that it a lot less goes.
Speaker 5: A long way.
Speaker 1: Did they have a confirm they're marriage?
Speaker 4: Yes, I can actually get well in a way in
Speaker 4: their way. So no, here's here's what the this is
Speaker 4: the this is where June. This was in June, he
Speaker 4: was asked by Esquire magazine about many of the AI
Speaker 4: generated images of their supposed wedding, and he said, you know,
Speaker 4: did that confuse any of your family members by these
Speaker 4: images they saw? And Tom said no, because they were
Speaker 4: all there, So he confirmed that there.
Speaker 5: Was a wedding.
Speaker 4: But really that is the only way we actually can
Speaker 4: possibly confirm them No area.
Speaker 3: No, that was I don't know, There's no way he
Speaker 3: came up with that on the fly. He gave the
Speaker 3: perfect line to confirm something you still confused.
Speaker 5: About because they were all there.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait where So there was a wedding and
Speaker 3: there's nothing more right for clarity, I get exactly.
Speaker 1: That was so well done.
Speaker 3: Everything in this relationship has been so keeps you guessing.
Speaker 5: But you believe in the authenticity.
Speaker 3: But they've done something ropes that doesn't make me nosy.
Speaker 3: I don't want to invade their privacy. I am now
Speaker 3: here for whatever you all want to share, and I
Speaker 3: support you.
Speaker 4: I agree and look, that was in June. In March
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty six that's when Zendia's stylist basically accidentally
Speaker 4: or maybe purposefully.
Speaker 1: I'm not a stylist.
Speaker 5: No, he's still her stylist.
Speaker 1: So he was part of the plan.
Speaker 4: He revealed that they were already married by joking and laughing.
Speaker 5: You all didn't even know it.
Speaker 4: It's already happened because in February that's when they saw
Speaker 4: her with the wedding ring on the red carpet. So
Speaker 4: that but from February when we saw the wedding ring
Speaker 4: until June when he kind of sort of confirmed it,
Speaker 4: that's how closed lip they've been. But if you go
Speaker 4: back they started dating. I guess we don't know when
Speaker 4: they started dating, but they were first Instagram official in
Speaker 4: July of twenty sixteen, just in a pool with the friend,
Speaker 4: and they kept saying they were friends. They were on
Speaker 4: the Hollywood Reporter covered together as friends. They did the
Speaker 4: lip sync battle together in July of twenty seventeen as
Speaker 4: friends on the premiere of Spider Man Homecoming. They said
Speaker 4: they were just friends, but then the rumors began. They
Speaker 4: shot down the rumors. It took them until twenty eighteen. Nope,
Speaker 4: I'm wrong. Twenty eighteen, they were still rumors. It took
Speaker 4: until twenty twenty one before zen Zendia and Tom actually
Speaker 4: were seen making out.
Speaker 5: In a car in la That's from arkable.
Speaker 4: From twenty sixteen to twenty twenty one, they kept everyone
Speaker 4: guessing as to whether or not they were dating.
Speaker 5: That's impressive.
Speaker 3: It's impressive, and it works for them. That's fine. It
Speaker 3: just people have different ways of going about. Nobody can
Speaker 3: be mad at these two. Don't get me wrong. The
Speaker 3: two with most adored people in the world at this point.
Speaker 3: But Robes, nobody can be mad at them. I love
Speaker 3: that for them and Robes. That's gotta be good for
Speaker 3: the relationship. Yeah, and you have to remember for these
Speaker 3: are very young folks. These are young folks who have
Speaker 3: been through fires together. They have been side by side
Speaker 3: and some of the biggest movies with some of the
Speaker 3: biggest pressures, some of the biggest stars and the biggest
Speaker 3: directors and Robes. They have managed Robes, you said twenty sixteen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: these two have a foundation.
Speaker 4: They do and it was started in friendship, and they've
Speaker 4: both said that they were absolutely friends for quite some
Speaker 4: time before they ended up becoming romantic. We don't know
Speaker 4: when that happened, and we don't need to know, but
Speaker 4: I do appreciate that once they became official in the
Speaker 4: fall of twenty two twenty one, if you go on
Speaker 4: their instagrams on hers, they will show a few sweet
Speaker 4: posts here and there.
Speaker 5: It's not a lot.
Speaker 4: They give you just enough so that you are saying,
Speaker 4: oh wow, good for them, I'm so glad they're still
Speaker 4: happy together. But you root for them because it's not
Speaker 4: too much. There's just a fine line and each couple
Speaker 4: gets to decide how they navigate fame. But then each
Speaker 4: couple obviously has to deal with some of the polarizing
Speaker 4: reactions that you get when you do constantly put out content.
Speaker 5: And good for them if it works for.
Speaker 1: Them, Michaie Silva.
Speaker 4: That's where we fall on all of this, and with that, everyone,
Speaker 4: we always appreciate you listening to us.
Speaker 5: I'm Amy roback alongside TJ. Holmes full Ti
