1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Justin Bieber is shrinking a circle, and some who have 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: been cut out say he's being isolated from longtime friends 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: because he's in a cult and his church pastor is 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: wielding a ton of influence over him. And we've heard 5 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: this about some of those megachurches. But Justin is no 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: longer friends with Ryan Good, the best man at his 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: wedding and creative director at his fashion brand, Drew House, 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: which he most recently broke ties with. And word is 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: that it has to do with Ryan leaving church home 10 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 1: that's the church where Justin goes because he thought it 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: was a cult. Bieber's pastor, though, Judah Smith, is speaking 12 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: and he says, nah, we're not a call, But what 13 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 1: else is he going to say? He said, what kind 14 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: of cult only meets once a month? So he didn't 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: really say no. But Justin and this pastor also apparently 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: confronted his former manager, Scooter Braun, who is Jewish, about 17 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: not believing in Jesus, which is wild if true. And 18 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,639 Speaker 1: they were also badgering Ryan Good about his sex life. Now, 19 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: speaking of a sex life, the Jacksonville Jaguars came up 20 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: with a short and sweet way to reveal their twenty 21 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: twenty five five schedule by utilizing Sabrina Carpenter's famous juno 22 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: sex positions that she does on her tour. If you 23 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: didn't know, all thirty two teams tried to get all 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: cute with videos for their announcements, but the Jag shared 25 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: the Sabrina viral tour positions, placing other teams' logos on 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: each one. And if you somehow miss this or have 27 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: not seen one of her show, show, Sabrina ents her 28 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: juno song with a slew of different sex positions, which 29 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: has gone viral. You know in Paris, she may have 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: done a nod to the Eiffel Tower, you know. Sometimes 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: they have meetings, sometimes they don't, And so that's how 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: the Jags decided to announce it. I like the AI 33 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: one as well. I forget what team did it, the 34 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: Alan Iverson. They used him the bills. 35 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: They could have done better with him, They could have 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: used him better. 37 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: He thought, yeah, but I thought it was. 38 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 2: It was funny that they said use Ai and then 39 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: it was him. Yeah, it was Allen Iverson, But I 40 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: think they could have used him better. 41 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, And then they're like, go bills and he's 42 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: like not saying that just giving a nod to the quarterback, 43 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: and after announcing this week that they're done being called 44 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: Max and going back to their old iconic name, HBO 45 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: used their own social media accounts to poke fun at 46 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: the change, using content from their own library library. Wow, 47 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: I got like British or something for a second. For instance, 48 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: the official Max account updated its bio on the platform 49 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: with a reference to Jennifer Coolidge's White Lotus one lighter 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: liner writing, these rebrands are trying to murder me in 51 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: the og it's these gays are trying to murder me. 52 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: And another user tolled the name change reversal by using 53 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: a screenshot of Alison Williams on Girls, where her character says, 54 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: let's make fun of the girl who took a risk 55 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: and put herself out there creatively, and HBO retweeted that. 56 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: So they're getting in on the joke of how silly 57 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: this is, which is probably best because it was very, 58 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: very silly. 59 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: I guess you the boardroom now it's like, guys, I 60 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: don't know, we got this app, We got more stuff 61 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: on there than just HBO.
