It's Been a Minute · This summer's hottest trend? Monoculture. · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

Thank God for the cyclospora because now I can talk to my coworkers about things that I probably wouldn't talk about them about.

Yeah.

If the lettuce is taken away from us, we can all talk about how much we love Caesar salad.

It's Been a Minute · Age gaps & wage gaps: unpacking our Belichick-Hudson obsession · 30 May 2025 podcast

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. My love language is when anyone says, can I be a bitch for a second? And I'm like, yes.

How did you guys meet?

No? No.

I think like a lot of the questions and a lot of the fascination between Bill Belichick and Jordan are like, what do they talk about? What does that relationship look like behind closed doors? And we all have this idealized view of like what marriage is supposed to look like and what love is supposed to look like. And it's just like that doesn't match up with what we see on paper.

That doesn't match up with what we see on photos with this coupling.

again, with the moves that you mentioned, it's hit upon this trope of like, oh yes, a woman maybe taking advantage of an older man for his money. And that is what he has to provide for. And I think it makes us face these questions of like, is this okay? If they're both consenting adults and he's in it for dating a younger, attractive woman and she's in it for his money, is that okay?

If they're okay with each other. And I think a lot of us have our own opinions whether that's okay or not.

Mm-hmm.

Well, you can't like take Jordan in a vacuum because I think as what Char said, like there's this whole manosphere, right? But at the same time, there's like this championing of trad wives that is happening all around social media, all around Instagram and TikTok. And I think like an extension of that is also wives and girlfriends at like football games, right?

And it's just like, well, trad wives are now like making millions of dollars on the internet being like, oh yeah, I love like not being a nine to five. And I love being a trophy wife. She is in her own like lane making a career out of being a girlfriend, a very visible girlfriend to a very successful NFL coach.

I mean, it seems like a nice life, though.

But I also think when we talk about Jordan Hudson, there is a misogyny there, right? No one really cares when you're an older man going for a younger woman. People think it's normal. But it's like the moment that a woman tries to flip that dynamic into her favor... That's when the negativity comes. That's when the speculation comes and the scrutiny comes, right?

Okay.

Oh, I don't think anything would satisfy us. Absolutely not. I think, like, every celebrity relationship always, like, reflects our own values and, like, what we want from relationships and what we want to see our heroes or, like, our villains or...

are like kardashians or our trad wives or our sports stars like kind of embody right so i think like this one especially that's like the age gap is it the money is it the system like it's it's it speaks to like our bigger ideas about like how love and relationships work

Thank you.
