Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm Pablo Torre, and this episode of Pablo Torre finds out is brought to you by Remy Martin 1738, Accord Royale. Exceptionally smooth cognac for all your game day festivities, please drink responsibly. Because today, we're going to find out what this sound is. 28,000-year-old Dildo, that's what she calls Bill. Right after this ad. You're listening to Draft Kings Network. We got to get going here. Let me take these sunglasses off so I don't seem flippant about the subject matter.
Starting point is 00:00:48 That's right. Your hair's voluminous today. Okay. Thank you for noticing. Well, I took a shower yesterday. Shout out. Second day is the best day. Shout out to showers.
Starting point is 00:00:57 We don't have time for this. Start us cleanly. Are we starting cleanly? Are we rolling? Pointing to the thing. We have been rolling. Very good. Which one.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Action. We don't have time to banter. Sorry. Why did you invite me? I made a terrible mistake. I now realized by inviting you two specifically. But in front of you, are papers with words on them that are warnings.
Starting point is 00:01:19 Words that are warnings. Yours has more warnings than mine. Yeah, mine also says, can I say the embargoed? Because you can't be trusted. Exclusive with two underlines, embargoed with stars. That's, I think, probably because I have a podcast. We have a timeline of exclusive information that is new, breaking. No one else has broken it yet.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I've been sitting on it for a long time. Okay. Right? You guys were here the last time when we broke this story that, in fact, Jordan Hudson, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, age 24, had insinuated herself into a Super Bowl commercial with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. This was a very conspicuous thing to us. And now maybe to everybody who was watching this again.
Starting point is 00:01:57 As Matt Damon and Tom Brady don't have the heart of a champion. We got a new squad, Dun King's sequel. Afflecks and Belichick. Dunkin's! A little more spirit on the charge next time. So Jordan, right there, right next to Bill, next to Coach Balochek. To recap, she was the one.
Starting point is 00:02:16 one who represented herself as Bill Belichick's agent. Katie Nolan, I believe, branded her accurately on the last episode. As a momager? Yeah. Yeah. Prussian. I have been thinking about that, haunted by that, because in the months since then, I've also been making more calls. And so, when
Starting point is 00:02:32 this stuff happened recently, I was at the bottom of the rabbit hole already and everything I have found out from personally talking to 11 sources who have directly dealt with her. Yes. First hand. I am here to say a couple of things to you guys. Number one is that I need to change the foremost
Starting point is 00:02:49 policy of talking about Jordan Hudson. And that is. I'm going to start calling her Jordan Hudson. Which is funny because I've noticed people in lines have started calling her Jordan and I said Pablo led the charge. Yeah. It's just now a real story. Yes. Fair. Totally fair. Agree with. And when you talk to 11 people, I do want to demonstrate some, some open-mindedness to the quest. That's that many herbs and spices as there are, if I'm not mistaken. Right. And so that's the herbs and spice line. Once you hit that, you really end on the story. That's right. And so, too, there are questions about how original is this recipe.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Wow. Beautifully done. It's like you guys had worked on that, and I'm here to say they hadn't. We absolutely haven't. But the recipe for this story is there is some succession. There is some Dawson's Creek. There is certainly some lifetime movie. The story of arguably the greatest coach in the history of not just football, but everything.
Starting point is 00:03:46 And a couple of breaking news updates since what has happened publicly since we last gathered. Number one, okay? Two sources at the University of North Carolina tell me that there has been a decision was made last week by the higher-ups inside the athletic department that had hired Bill Ballichick to be the highest paid public employee, not just coach, in the state of North Carolina, at $10 million a year. And that decision was that Jordan Hudson is no longer allowed in the football building. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:14 She is not allowed on the football field. Quote, don't think you'll be hearing much from Jordan moving forward. Dang, not in the building. It's a little flippant. I feel like that is what is done with a distraction and a team is within its rights to do that when it comes to external distractions. Now, do we think maybe we know, I don't know if we know,
Starting point is 00:04:36 do we think this is like the athletic director at UNC being like, this is a problem? Or do you think it's Bill going to the athletic director and being like, I would really love it if you said this was a problem. Oh, of like, oh, they said you can't come. Yeah, I would love to have you there. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:04:52 You're my cheerleader. Who's got tarrier heels than you? You're my cheerleader. You got to be there, babe. But they are saying. Bobby's on my back. Bubba Cunningham. New job.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Bubba's, you know how Bubba can be. Listen, Bubba's, it's, he's tough. I think Bubba's jealous. I think Bubba's jealous. Yeah. That's my Bill Belichick impression. That's really good. That's ours.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Yeah, the most animated he's ever been. So the theory of why any of this happening is a relevant conversation that I'm going to ask you to put a pin in that. Okay. Because the second update is that Bill Belichick's family... Uh-oh. He's extraordinarily concerned about what has transpired. One Belichick family source told me, quote, there is deep worry for how detrimental Jordan can be for not just North Carolina, but Bill's legacy, reputation, everything he has built in work.
Starting point is 00:05:43 worked for over decades. End quote. In fact, the family has been digging into Jordan Hudson as well in a parallel way. So they are conducting research. They are also in a rabbit hole. They're chucking into 11 herbs and spices. I mean, might be understating the spiciness, honestly, at this point, in terms of how this has gone behind the scenes.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Because number three, what I've been told is that Bill Belichick entrusted Jordan Hudson with the power to run his new media empire. Quote, Jordan was my boss. To quote another, the level of cockiness to go along with the absence of resume is stunning. And the idea that Bill Belichick may not realize exactly the damage he's done to himself and certainly his legacy and also to his reputation as a coach.
Starting point is 00:06:36 And so, yes, this will be a story about leadership and genius and privacy and discipline. and also, crucially, the illegal sale of injectable erectile dysfunction drugs. Sorry? Wait, what did you say? I'm sorry, what? After the break. Oh, my God. Monetization is killing everything.
Starting point is 00:06:54 So how the fuck did we get here, guys? How did we? Fuck, Pablo. We started this off joking about Jordan, and late last month, Bill Belichick put on a tattered navy sweatshirt and showed up to what I am told is his old high school in Annapolis, Maryland, alongside his girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, who was, not coincidentally, wearing her own Navy sweatshirt. No holes.
Starting point is 00:07:34 She also has been telling people that she picks out all of Bill's clothes for him. Odd choice, then. But the goal, as they show up together, wearing Navy sweatshirts, is to promote Bill's new book titled The Art of Winning, Lessons from a Life in Football. And are you familiar with CBS Sunday morning? Mm-hmm. Coach, thank you for doing this.
Starting point is 00:07:53 You're probably thinking the same thing I was, when I sat down with Bill Belichick. What's going on with this sweatshirt? Well, you can see, I've worn this one for a while. Do you remember how you got the cut here? No. Tattered, and yes, often sleeveless, Belichick's signature look
Starting point is 00:08:11 is part of his singular focus. To be clear, CBS Sunday morning, I am told, was trying to tell an extraordinarily positive story about how this coach's decision-making could be a model, actually, for non-football people, too. The clip that kind of well, went out and got the most attention was a clip of Jordan, um, interrupting and seemingly inserting herself into the interview.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Jordan was a constant presence during our interview. You have Jordan right over there. And, uh, the question she took the most issue with from that clip was they asked him. Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship. They've got an opinion about your private life. It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested in it. How do you deal with that? I've never been too worried about what everybody else thinks.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what's right. It was very softball. Like you are in a new relationship. We're seeing a different side of you. How did the two of you meet? Not talking about this. We're not talking about that. In addition to inserting herself, there also is an element of asserting herself.
Starting point is 00:09:17 It feels like it's not just like I'm in here to protect. It's also like the big dog is barking over here. Just so you know, and the big dog's got her eyes on you. That's how it felt. If you're a savvy PR person, a guard dog even, like, you're not trying to be on tape. And what I have told is that, yeah, the reports are true that there is like a half hour more of Jordan Hudson giving hand signals to him during the interview, kind of like a spy gate thing, honestly. A good PR person is not going, excuse me, hello, it's me, and inserting themselves. They're trying their best to smooth from afar.
Starting point is 00:09:51 And they had an answer for that question. But instead, what is happening is that there are lots of theories all over the internet that, In fact, Jordan Hudson is an only-fans model, a call girl, something along those lines, because why else would you not want to reveal the truth? What I can tell you is that from all of the people I've talked to, they just think that Jordan Hudson, like her cover-up, was worse than the non-crime that happened. And in fact, to verify all of this, what I can tell you is that, yeah, that flight, Boston to Palm Beach, 2021, a jet blue flight.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Pellechek does fly commercial. He goes to hang out at the Golf Club of Jupiter. That's why he got to Palm Beach. At the time, he was still with Linda Holiday, who was his 15-year girlfriend, thereabouts, who was in her late 50s at the time. And Jordan was a philosophy major at Bridgewater State who was dating a much older man whom we will meet later.
Starting point is 00:10:46 But the date in question... The date in question was February 11, 2021. And we know this, of course, because Bill Ballachek signed what? the inside of her philosophy textbook or a psychology textbook. Which one was it? It was deductive logic by Harvard professor Warren Goldfarb. And there is the inscription, Fab 11, 2021. I will just call to your attention, of course, the Jordan. And if you just punch in even more on that second O, you might notice that it doesn't feel like on encounter number one, Bill Belichick knew that Jordan is spelled with two O's.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Because why would you? Does the extra circle around what felt like clearly an A. And I believe that February 11, 2021 is also incredibly important here. Because in the attempt to like match all the timelines, because there's been lots of erroneous reporting, lots of seemingly very confusing timelines, February 11th, 2021 is very important because of this other video that we found. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:12:03 If I may, beautiful. That was the first runner-up of the Miss Maine pageant last year. That was 2024. First runner-up is second place, yes? That is. Just confirming from my brain. Second place. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Correct. Hancock, Maine is her hometown. That's population 2466. But the detail that I wanted to call your attention to just for the timeline here, right, is how old she says she is. So this pageant, I can tell you, was March 2024. Okay. So deductive logic time.
Starting point is 00:12:33 She is 22. in March, 2024. So in February, 2021, when they met on that flight using the powers of deductive logic, Jordan Hudson would then need to be how old? Michael Cruz-Kane, he used to teach math to kids. 19? Did you get math right?
Starting point is 00:12:50 Jordan Hudson, 19 years old. Getting close. Bill Belichick was about to turn 69, I believe. Nice. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that. You taught math to kids. You're the one who taught kids. I'm sorry, I didn't want to do it. Something that I did, I came from the center of the earth.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Sorry, Pablo, please continue. I, I, can we take it out? We all fall. No, we're going to leave it then. But Jordan Hudson's age frequently has been, oh man, miscalculated, misreported. The LA Times last week had her at 21 years old at the time of their meeting. And one reason, by the way, again, 19 as legal, right?
Starting point is 00:13:32 I'm just trying to clarify the timelines. Sure, by the law, it's fine. By the law, it's fine. But there are other, man has other laws than those that are writ. That I believe is also a philosophy textbook somewhere. Yeah, absolutely. Signed by Bill Cower. The reason I have been wondering, though,
Starting point is 00:13:52 why does this keep happening? Why does no one know? Does connect to another question I've been pondering that I want to ask you guys. Have you ever mistyped your own? birth year. Well, certain. Not that I remember specifically, but certainly I've mistyped everything. The reason I ask that question is because this is a question that has been asked around the North Carolina football program. And it has been asked because I've learned of an internal document that has been circulating around said program. And you may be familiar, like sometimes,
Starting point is 00:14:22 whether it's a school directory or, let's say, the wives and girlfriends of football coaches working at the University of North Carolina, you fill out a directory. There's your address, There's an email, phone number, number of kids, their names, and your birthday so that people can say happy birthday when it's time for your birthday. And Jordan Hudson put down her birthday on this document, I am told, as April 2000. April 2000. So now we're getting a little older. Or she did not put her accurate birthday in the file. Okay. So back where we started. We don't really know. Well, we know, based on a preponderance of evidence that her actual birthday is April 2001.
Starting point is 00:15:04 So it seems like the reason she's so sensitive about the book thing is because they didn't think through the fact that he was clearly talking to a 19-year-old. And now they're trying to cover that up. That is a lot closer to what might be the Occam's razor of why. There's another thing about it. Wait, can I say the same thing I was going to say it because I'm going to forget it? Yeah. I'm trying to picture either you're typing it or you're writing it, right? If you're writing it, there's no way you write.
Starting point is 00:15:28 This was... This was typed. Yeah. So if you're typing it... Yeah, it's just the same. But on your phone, the zero is not where the one is. It's not close to the one. And that is literally the argument that one of the sources that I spoke to at UNC pointed out.
Starting point is 00:15:44 How the fuck could you mistake a zero for a one? Yeah, you'd have to go out of your way. On a phone, on a keyboard. Yeah. And it's like you'd hit the same thing. Right. Yeah. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:15:56 So this specific mistake, quote-unquote, feels instructive. But what, you could put zero, maybe you could put zero twice. Okay. Generously, maybe you could, maybe you double-tapped it. Anyway, this is just pointing out the presentation, the theater of what it is to allegedly be the first lady of UNC football. It's a real puzzle, admittedly. It's a puzzle, including for someone I would have to imagine, like Harvard professor
Starting point is 00:16:22 Warren Goldfarb. Warren G. I'm the Walter Beverly Pierce Professor of Modern Mathematics and Mathematical Logic. And now you should add Emeritus, because I've retired. Despite the title, I'm actually in the philosophy department, not the mathematics department. Warren G did tell us that he is not familiar with deductive logic, his book, raising libidos in this way. But he did tell us. Is this one of our 11?
Starting point is 00:16:49 He really asked him that. He's not one of the 11 for the record. Hey, sir, does your book tend to make people horny? Now, of course, I don't know the details of exactly what happened, but presumably Bill Belichick had a seat on an airplane next to Jordan Hudson, and she was reading the logic book. She was taking the class that my friend teaches at Bridgewater State. Oh, I see. Using your friend's book in your class?
Starting point is 00:17:15 He said philosophers mount up. Of course, yes. Doing strategy in football is just complete. with all kinds of truth-function logic. If this happens, then we should do that. If that happens, we should do this. If this happens, but that doesn't happen, then we do this. That's all truth-function logic.
Starting point is 00:17:33 So either, Belichick was interested to see that what he did more on intuition, and he was obviously very good at it, right? What he did in the intuition was actually could be formalized. Or it was just all old hat to him when he was just making conversation because she was a very beautiful young woman. Logic is too often deride it as a dry subject, I'm glad to see its romantic potential has finally been recognized. The illogic of this whole thing, though, right?
Starting point is 00:17:59 Why is she so protective of this question? Why is she doing this? There is, I think, in our reporting, as Katie deduced, the whole, like, let's not draw attention to the fact that I was 19. He was almost 69. Legal though it may be. Legal though it may be. But there's another theory, according to people who have dealt with her directly on matters of business,
Starting point is 00:18:21 which is that she seems to be of a belief as she carves up Bill Belichick's brand, his life into different buckets of monetization. And by the way, she is the person who inspired in a real way the book that is at the heart of that CBS non-promo. She had read, I'm told, Ray Dalio's book principles.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Like, as an idea mill, as she's credited in the acknowledgments, she does come up with ideas like that book. But what the source has has deduced is that she may be saving exclusively any and all talk about
Starting point is 00:18:58 their origin story, their relationship for a potential reality show. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So you're saying that she's protecting that information because it's in fact embargoed? She is somebody who believes that an exclusive means exclusive. Like, you can't talk about it anywhere else. This story is for a future,
Starting point is 00:19:18 theoretical project. That is the theory from people who have had to deal with her. And the dealing with her, right, when did this happen? When did she get control over Bill Belichick's new media empire?
Starting point is 00:19:31 So, you may recall the time that Bill Belichick got defenestrated from Katie Nolan's New England Patriots. That's thrown out the window. Do you think I need you to tell me what defenestrated is?
Starting point is 00:19:45 I was doing it for them. Finestra, Latin, window, Feminine noun, let's go. That window of time that Belichick had. A finestra of time, if you will. A finestra of time that he didn't have football to fill. He had, I'm going to count him down, a podcast for Underdog Fantasy called Coach.
Starting point is 00:20:05 He had inside the NFL for the CW. He had appearances of the Peyton Manning and various kinds. He had appearances on the Pat McAfee show. And all of this was kind of conspicuous, given that, again, no one hated media more than that guy and also, as you told multiple people, he never listened to a podcast before. But who among us?
Starting point is 00:20:24 Not surprising. Who among us makes him doesn't listen to him, you know? So he shows up at NFL film studios in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. All of these things I've mentioned are filmed there. At the one place that he trusts as a media entity, it's the company that he grew up adoring and trusting NFL films, right? Like his dad was a coach, he is a football nerd.
Starting point is 00:20:45 He has friends who've worked there for a very long time. The Hard Knocks thing, which is, for those not familiar, the reality show where you get cameras all over a football building, typically an NFL team, was going to be for the first time a college team. It was going to be Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It was going to be this program. And it was going to be produced by NFL films. So this is, again, the organization where all of these shows had been taped. This was Belichick's sort of like comfort zone. And so when you get the news that Jordan Hudson, and this is a moment of the news. and this is something that I've confirmed myself
Starting point is 00:21:19 was instrumental in that deal blowing up because she was trying to assert control over the negotiations. This is now how we arrive at a point at which Bill Belichick's insulation from these media things has absolutely just become a thing he has to deal with. And I think if the other thing about it is if UNC struggles, this is only going to get way, way, way, way, way.
Starting point is 00:21:46 way worse. And at the beginning of this, as of the summer of 2024, Jordan Hudson was not in charge of everything. But there was one famous story that was witnessed by, I am told, dozens of people, including freelance contractors who were hired to work on the set for a seven-figure scripted commercial. And yes, we're talking about another expensive commercial shoot here. This is Belichick. Talk to me. That will be. Tyrese. What's good with these wide outs?
Starting point is 00:22:12 He's going to get into end, so no doubt about that. My man. William, answer the phone. Billy V, my man. Cam. How's QB1 looking? It's looking more like QB3. My body rejects that.
Starting point is 00:22:24 What I am told by multiple people among the dozens who witnessed the shooting of this is that what happened that day on set was, quote, highly unusual. Jordan Hudson, who was at the time a person they kind of heard about, but again, this is last summer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:39 Not quite the entity that we know now, nothing close, had arrived on set and started immediately pitching herself for a role that had not been discussed in this scripted seven-figure commercial shoot that would also serve as, quote, the hard launch of their relationship. And she told everybody to hold on, actually, as this idea developed in her head, because what she did was she left set, came back sometime later, and she was wearing a yellow polka dot bikini and a sun hat.
Starting point is 00:23:10 She would just be by the pool with him. That was the idea. Are you? I pitched this to her. She left. In the room. She called me. She was like, what do you think it would be a good?
Starting point is 00:23:19 And I was like, get that, get that keeny on, girl. Said, hey, you were in severance for 30 seconds. I was just wondering. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Oh. Think about the scene, though.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Right? So she shows up. She's wearing a bikini. She's walking around. Bill Belichick, if you were wondering, betrays no emotional change as this is happening. Sure. And everybody around is like, again,
Starting point is 00:23:45 this is like, as she called him on set multiple times, this is a star. She kept on calling him a star. That's why you're allowed to be here. We're even pretending to listen to you because of the star, how much he's a star in our eyes. So that part, right, the how do they manage this question? Because she's insisting the hard launch,
Starting point is 00:24:07 be good for the commercial. And Belichick was going along with it. He's like, of course, I, yeah, this seems totally normal like a thing you would do. and the crew had to figure out what the fuck do you do now? Oh, no. So the premise of the ad, according to my sources,
Starting point is 00:24:22 was Jordan Hudson, by the pool, sunning herself in a lounge chair, trying to get Bill's attention, that kind of a thing. Oh, she added, like, script idea. It wasn't just she'd be in the background of the shot we saw. She had motivation.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Okay. Taping for the actual commercial was done by then. And so what they did was they filmed something. No, no. Oh, my God. That one source told me This is embarrassing. It may have involved a camera
Starting point is 00:24:47 that may not have even been on. Oh my God, this is so embarrassing. It's like when you give a kid a controller for a video game and you play it and you go, you're doing great. Oh, my God. You're driving the car, really? Look at you go.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Yeah. Oh, my God. They had zero intention of using it. I got goosebumps. That is my, that's a real nightmare. That hurts me. I'm embarrassed. I feel, it makes me feel for her.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yes, yes. Unfortunately, I know feel bad. I think the villain up to this point in this particular story, I am like, oh gosh. I agree. I hope that footage is destroyed. I hope that there was any. I hope there isn't any.
Starting point is 00:25:19 And if it is, I hope it was destroyed. I, that's... Please don't have that footage right now. Please, Pablo. And... No. No, I don't have this footage. Oh, thank God.
Starting point is 00:25:28 I believed him. I looked. Oh, of course you did. I wouldn't be able to look. It'd be like the salt bath, whatever that scene was that. You don't do it. Do not to give. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:25:41 How do that? How did you do that? So not understanding how sets work, how cameras work, how microphones work, that's a through line so far from CBS to this. And what happens, though, as everybody on set is watching this, and the people who work on these shows are watching this in this one central location where the mountain has come to Muhammad and everybody goes and like film stuff with Bill Balichick, the newly crowned media king of football who cannot get a job in the NFL. fell. One source told me this, quote, I watched her power grow. Inch by inch, I can take this, I can take this, I can take this. And the question then is like, why wasn't anyone in the way? Like, why was the power vacuum so empty? And the inner circle of Bill Belichick is a fascinating thing. So it used to be managed, his PR used to be managed by this guy, Berges Nigerian.
Starting point is 00:26:50 He was handling all of his personal PR. He was the guy who, as Bill Belichick, was very hard to deal with. He was very easy to work with, but ultimately they said nothing. And that was a good relationship. That was a safe relationship. He's now, however, the chief of staff at Boston College, leaving behind a group with whom Bill Belichick still has a standing pre-dawn phone call every single day. You got Matt Patricia, the former defensive coordinator of the Patriots, and also briefly the offensive coordinator.
Starting point is 00:27:18 That did not go any better. It's not. We can also mention that Josh McDaniels is also in this group. Also, Mike Lombardi, longtime friend of Bill Belichick, former Patriots assistant, now GM at UNC. And these are yes men. So I just want you to imagine being Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick is somebody who has been for decades incredibly insulated from having to live anything resembling a normal life.
Starting point is 00:27:43 He has been a coach. He has been in charge. And Matt Patricia, as was described to me, like, this is, quote, a doormat. that's mean as well and I kind of feel bad about that but these guys like are watching Jordan come in and they're like eye rolling
Starting point is 00:28:02 they're kind of like nudging each other is the description but they're not telling Bill they're not telling coach this is a bad idea so she comes in and out alpha's everybody and that's how in a very short amount of time in a period of months they watch her take power and so
Starting point is 00:28:21 simultaneous to this, Bill Belichick, to the people he's doing these media projects with, is repeatedly calling Jordan brilliant. He is telling them, you need to hire Jordan. He told one of these media companies, I am told, that they should hire her for a six-figure salary
Starting point is 00:28:36 as part of their deal with him to make the show in question. But you can imagine what that work environment was like, where she was on every single call, every single email, they had to go through her. She ran his life. Media partners had to go to her
Starting point is 00:28:51 to get to him. They commuted together all the time from Boston to New Jersey. She was calling people into meetings. And connecting back
Starting point is 00:29:00 to the CBS interview, she again didn't seem clear on how cameras and hot mics worked. And I say that because in another infamous story
Starting point is 00:29:12 that circulated among dozens of people on set at the NFL film studio, Bill Balichick, Katie Nolan, you can imagine this, right?
Starting point is 00:29:19 He's wearing a mic, she is whispering to him. Oh, no. Off camera somewhere? Oh, God. The problem is that there are these things in television called control rooms. And at NFL films headquarters, as Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson are miced up, they proceed to hear them talking shi about all sorts of people.
Starting point is 00:29:44 They are talking shit about graphics. They're talking so much about the graphics people. They are not aware that dozens of people can hear them talk. How? Jordan. How are you not aware? You need just, everybody knows this trick. How are you not aware?
Starting point is 00:30:05 Let me also, okay, here's what I'm going to say, I think this is a principle of my life. Talking sh** behind people's back is totally fine. I encourage it. I think it's great. I actually believe there's studies that have shown it's like important for human. in society to have that. Okay. So now there's, now there's, now there's that. So I think that's total, I think you should talk to shit about every, talk to all the people. But everything goes out the window if they hear you. If they hear you, it's a whole different, it's a whole different ballgame.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Yeah. They heard them. That's pretty tough. That's really tough. And that, and you're saying that's all, and that didn't get out. Even though they're mad. That has not gotten out. Yeah. Are we ever going to go back to the part where, um, nobody around Bill spoke up? because I do feel that's a neglected part of this story in that we do seem to love, especially as an online public, we love a woman to put everything on. And while I'm not in any way saying that Jordan is innocent or anything in all of this, it does seem like a number of people were in a position that could have gone, hey, this isn't cool, but they were so much more interested in their access to this power,
Starting point is 00:31:10 that they let it get really bad and are now like crazy, right? She's nuts. And you're like, yeah, you could. said something a long time ago and helped your supposed friend by telling him the truth of what was going on here. And now you're leaving it to us to do. I would say that is, it's tricky because even like, have you ever had a friend who had a significant other that you were like, oh boy. Yes. This person is trash. Yeah. I'm not good at this. I'm not good at this. I'm like, I'm just going to wait until they break up. And that's what I'm going to say. And I'm,
Starting point is 00:31:39 and I will say self-awareness, I am on the other end of the spectrum. I have made people very mad at me. Maybe it's not good. Yes, by the other end of the spectrum being. And they're here today. Bring them out. No, it's, I have a tendency to be a little honest in ways I don't notice our uncouth until they've been said. It happens.
Starting point is 00:31:58 So I think it's a good friend is to say, I don't know how to tell you this, and I might not tell it to you're right, but I don't think what's going on here is on the up and up. I would say at least that. I will safely say that Bill Belichick's inner circle could have used the Katie Nolan. Well, and I've been saying that for years. It's true. The parallel here that I imagine is like in succession, you know, the council of just like people who are just like sucking up to Logan Roy who are there because they're looking
Starting point is 00:32:26 for like the scraps of power that fall off of his plate. That is a lot of what I've what I've had described to me. And I am trying always to like balance how I don't have Jordan Hudson's perspective because she wouldn't talk to us. But the quotes that you hear from the people who work with her, and again, I think look, I just, I don't know how to diplomatically convey the following quote from one of the people who worked on these shows. Quote, she is the worst person I've ever met on Earth
Starting point is 00:32:57 and I've worked with multiple sociopaths. Oh, boy. Am I allowed to know the gender? I can't, of course, know the gender of who said that, but it doesn't form. But I do wonder if there are any of the gender of the people of our 11 spices, if any of those spices is a woman spice. A spice girl. I can tell you that an unquantifiable number among the 11 are in fact.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Ginger or cinnamon or... Or even baby. Baby. Even baby. Can you read that quote one more time? I started laughing at the word worst. You did. Didn't hear the rest of it.
Starting point is 00:33:39 She is the worst person I've ever met. And I've worked with multiple sociopaths. I mean, that's pretty bad. They still fear her today. Oh, my gosh. Fear. This is a lot of, there's so much fear in this story. What are you so afraid of?
Starting point is 00:33:56 I suppose a question, if you are in the family of one bill ballot check or somebody who was invested in what's going on here would be, okay, who else has Jordan Hudson sort have been with recently. What's her type? What's her deal romantically? And look, I don't, I don't know all the answers to that. I just know that there is this guy. Joshua L. Zuckerman, dude's in his mid-60s. According to his LinkedIn, he is the CEO of, wait for it, a geriatrics facility in Cape Cod. Huh. It's relevant because Joshua L. Zuckerman told TMZ the following, quote, she is wise beyond her years, much more than any 20-something I've ever met in my life. The narrative about her character is not fair to her, end quote. And then also separately, I wish these internet trolls and
Starting point is 00:34:53 paparazzi would leave her alone and everyone else alone and let them live their lives, end quote. On Twitter, he, under the name Joshua L. Zuckerman, not a ton of tweets, but one of them is a reply to Ann Coulter, and it is from November 7th, 2017, and it's simply you go girl. I was just going to say you go girl as a joke. That's what it says. It is literally that. I almost jumped in and went, you go girl. That's crazy. That's very funny. I'm so sorry. The place where he is very active, though, is vivino.com. What is that? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I'm so glad you asked. Is it like a... Is it for Old Souls? Million users. Vivino. 65 million? 65 million? My gosh.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I'm now only appreciating the claim that you're spotlighting. That's a lot of people. But it is the world's largest wine app and marketplace, empowering people everywhere to enjoy wine to the fullest. Not what I thought it was. He is written. 1,208 wine reviews. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:51 The man likes his wine. And good for him. And... He's of age. Plenty. Yeah. And I would like Michael to turn over his packet and help the audience understand what some of these reviews are. This producing.
Starting point is 00:36:04 Okay, here we go. Joshua rated this wine five stars. This review says, Where are you, my love? Big hugs. Big full-body fruit forward. But complex. Earthy flavor.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Blackberries, big expressions of mushroom, Blackberry, Black Pepper Earth, young but showing its strength. Yikes. Okay, but wait, this actually sounds even more like Talk to Text. Talk to Text. Because where are you, my love, big hugs?
Starting point is 00:36:32 Almost sounds like he's talk to texting someone else. And then talk to text this. This is an extraordinarily generous read of what this guy's deal is. What's his deal? Well, let's find out. So keep going. Oh, no. Okay, this is the Terrace Gallup.
Starting point is 00:36:47 A 20-20 Rias Baik sauce, Espania, sorry, absolutely delicious, complex light citrus, lemon, lemon flour, lemon grass citrus. Oh my God, what a beautiful complex flavor. It's really special, fresh, and expressive. Citrus pear, grapefruit, green apple, lemon, honey, honeydew, honey, honey, suckle.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Oh, my God, this is so lovely. Oh, my God, some mineral tones. Lovely. Is he all right? How many stars do you give that one? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. This one here is, oh.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Can this point out, it felt like he was. Oh, my God. Drinking it while he was saying. It felt like he was fucking that wine. Okay, Pablo. Okay. I don't think he was. That's alleged.
Starting point is 00:37:34 This one, the vintner of this, I believe, is Trump. Trump Meritage, 2019. Oh, my God. I'm surprised by the 4.0 ratings. He himself gave it. This is a good table. wine, a good value wine, not overly complex, blah fruit, blackberry, black cherry, pepper. Flavors are flat, non-expressive. As I said, a good table wine. Love Trump, though. Enjoy.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Just in case. No offense to my guy. I mean, absolutely. Why is everybody, including me, giving it four stars. I don't think we needed to pull the, uh... Big hugs. So Joshua L. Zuckerman, her ex, one part of the political spectrum, as very clearly self-perferferferferfer. The other part of the political spectrum, though, is where you might find Lee Hudson. Okay. Lee Hudson is Jordan's mom.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Lee Hudson has a job in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Okay. P-Town. Yep. What is P-Town known for? Gay. Very LGBTQ-friendly. What is you known for?
Starting point is 00:38:37 Uh, gay. Very LGBTQ-plus friendly. This is where I would like Katie Nolan to flip over her packet. We sent a reporter to Provincetown, Massachusetts. Susits. Lee Hudson professionally help run a place called Toys of Eros. Hell yeah, Lee. Play safe, exclamation point, free condoms. Our reporter tells us that Jordan's mom mostly works remotely.
Starting point is 00:39:01 He isn't around a lot. She has been declining to comment on any of this. But our reporter did take a tour of this store and its museum. Okay. And Katie Nolan, I would like you to reveal the exclusive reporting that we have handed you for this episode. Wow. So what I'm looking at here is it says there's a sign on the entrance door. I'm looking at a photo of the entrance door, and it appears to have a sign on it.
Starting point is 00:39:23 And the sign reads, quote, In June, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that any business may openly discriminate against their patrons. In response, Toys of Eros will no longer sell K-K rings to humans who feel entitled to make choices for bodies other than their own. Toys of Eros will no longer sell anal plugs to people who support the burning of books. Toys of Eros will no longer sell dildos to actual dildos wearing maga hats. Please note, drag queens, daddy bears, cock suckers, bull dykes. I don't want to say that one. F slurs?
Starting point is 00:40:00 Trans folks, muff divers, non-binary gender f***ers, and in general, queers of any and all sort and their enlightened allies, both capitalized, E, A, will always and forever be welcome at Toys of Eros. Hell yeah. I love that. Yeah. Oh, wait, I flipped the head. Sorry, I'm not supposed to flip the head.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Welcome to Toys of Eros. That's the sign on the fucking door. That's right. Okay. So we walk in and what do you see? In what room? Informative plaques about penis sheaths made of gourds and worn by the tribesmen of New Guinea. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:40:38 The museum also contains historical artifacts, such as the electric cage, which you can see here. My God. So just to... That feels very rudimentary. A couple of the visuals on this. Kind of feels like it's some medical tape and a slinky and a can. And I would describe that as a borderline loose battery. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Just dangling. And like a cage, a slinky. Mm-hmm. In the frame, there appears to be a little more higher quality version of whatever this is. Yeah. But the one that's on the disembling. embodied person is troubling to look at. This is from around 1945, just to place this in time for you.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Okay, so we're in World War II era. That's right. That's important. It used electric shocks to prevent masturbation and wet dreams. I would say we weren't at a place with electricity by then that I'd be ready to do this. You know, I'd be like, you know what? We basically haven't figured it out. Also, it just feels like at this point,
Starting point is 00:41:46 You know it's not going to work. Whatever it says. It might work in that you might lose your dick and then you can't jerk it. Oh, no, guys. Those wires seem pretty professional. It just feels like the second you're like, you know, look, David's been masturbating so much. We need to create a device. It doesn't, there's nothing's going to stop David.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Right. Just let David. David's doing it. The slinky. Last but not least, a prehistoric 28,000-year-old dildo made from Camel Dung. We had to put shit in our p-sies. That's crazy. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:42:22 The fellas are using these things, too. Okay. Thank you. Actually, that does make a lot more sense. I am so, so sorry. After saying I was an ally, how dare I? How dare you disrespect one of the hundreds of fallacies made of stone, leather, bone, and dung that have been found during excavations. A dung-dong, dung-dong, if you will.
Starting point is 00:42:42 A dung-dung-dong. Dung-dong-dong. Well, that's something. I mean, honestly. And that's just sort of where it belongs anyway. So you're kind of just putting it back. Exactly. If you think about it.
Starting point is 00:42:53 Honestly, this was a much-needed relief. I'm so glad we're not talking about the other stuff for just a second. Now, you mention the technological evolution of such devices. I guess it's now time for us to talk about the aforementioned injectable erectile dysfunction drugs. Oh, really? Wait, can I make a quick joke? 28,000-year-old dildo. That's what she calls Bill.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Nice. Really nice. For the YouTube audience, we are high-fiving that. They heard it. They knew. They felt it. Jordan's mom in 2017, I guess I have to describe this as a legitimate local scandal. Well... In where? Where are we again? P-Town? P-Town.
Starting point is 00:43:35 We're in P-Town. We're on Cape Cod. And we're talking about free unlicensed demonstrations of the erectile dysfunction drug, which I'm reliably informed, is pronounced trimix. Oh. Trimix. Problem with try and trimix. in this unlicensed way is that it's not exactly legal and Jordan's mom
Starting point is 00:43:53 was the business manager for the store at the time. You will not be surprised to learn at this point in our episode that this led to an emergency meeting of the Board of Health. And one of the board members, according to a readout of the meeting,
Starting point is 00:44:03 expressing outrage that the store owner has made no attempt to address the board and its total disregard for the Board of Health. She thinks the store should be shut down. You shouldn't be injecting anything
Starting point is 00:44:12 in anybody without a license, I think. I would think in general, yeah. Yes. The house position of Pablo Tori finds out for the record is that we are not judging. We are just presenting information. That's all we are. Absolutely neutral reporter. We're like the Walter Cronkites of this. The Walter Cronkites of injectable erectile dysfunction drugs. What did we find out, guys, as we try to figure out what all of this means, who is responsible, what do we feel for? I would say that I found out that Jordan Hudson is a full person with a backstory and that it brings to mind that ancient saying, be kind
Starting point is 00:44:59 for everyone is fighting a hard battle. And I don't know, I didn't really think about her deal. There's another quote, another quote actually brought to mind by this, which is every marriage, every relationship is a foreign country. Diane Sawyer said that on the O network. And it really stuck with me. And so like there is a part of me that looks at this and is like, look, man, if I were watching it in a movie or reading it in a book and I knew that these were like fictional characters,
Starting point is 00:45:28 I'd be like, something is f*** up here. But they're two real people. He's an exceptionally smart guy. Maybe not in every aspect of his life, but at least in some part of his life, he's brilliant. Maybe two people are getting what they want, and who cares? They're both getting what they want.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Do we believe, for instance, what Bob Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, said, as quoted in Seth Wickersham's really good book about the Patriots, he's an idiot, savant, which is to say, you can be a savant, you can be a genius in football, but outside of it, we're sort of testing for the first time what that genius gets you when you are not surrounded by things that you know
Starting point is 00:46:05 and have known for decades. I learned and I probably already knew, so I guess I feel like I had confirmed for me just how many people are willing to turn the other way on anything and be completely emotionally dishonest with their friend if their friend is powerful and can in some way provide something for them. Or at least like keep them close to power. My take at the end of this is mostly that every disaster you've chronicled seems extraordinarily self-inflicted.
Starting point is 00:46:43 It seems like a series of cell phones and also cell phones. I was going to say cell phones? Both. Cell phones chronicling self-ones. Whoa. That's real eyes, real eyes, real lies. Damn. And I say that because I think there's a lot of a very young person.
Starting point is 00:47:05 And by the way, Silicon Valley is full of such people, right? Very ambitious people with no sense of unintended consequences. None. This is a very familiar prodigy when it comes to the study of power. The real estate she took, she grabbed. And the thing that Jordan Hudson consider is one of the worst cases. scenarios here as a result of the CBS disaster, which again felt entirely preventable if one were more strategic or knowledgeable about the industry, a parallel through line through so many
Starting point is 00:47:35 of the anecdotes that we have reported, is that she has been very concerned to the point of explicitly telling Bill Belichick and others that this whole disaster, this whole episode at this point, honestly, is actively undermining her chances to win the Miss Main competition. And if you win Ms. Maine, what do you get? Well, she was a runner-up last year. Surely a sash. She's trying to win that sash this year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Okay. The thing starts tomorrow. And if you want to twist in the next development in this script, I just want to point out that one of the contestants she is competing against, happens to be a trans woman, and I think they have more votes than Jordan Hudson. I assume you're jumping ahead to the next step, whereas if she doesn't win, this could turn into some sort of political stance.
Starting point is 00:48:31 I'm just saying. I don't have the patience for that chapter, if that's where we're going. Same way I feel about Stephen A. Smith, potentially running for president. I'm jumping off the roof of my building before we get to this. You're not looking forward to future defense secretary, Jordan Hudson.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Oh, God. In the words of a very wise man on social media. Oh, boy. Something bad's about to happen. This could be anything. This could really go anyway. You go, girl. Oh, my God.
