good morning. We're just before nineo'clock and right around nine oh five ishes

We're going to kick it off withwhat I believe to be maybe one

(00:24):
of the best Valentine's Day dates ever. So at this point, Benny Blanco
and Selena Gomez are about a yearinto their relationship, and he sat down
with Howard Stern yesterday for this interview, and I mean talked a lot,
like some really really really cool things. But first we're going to touch base
on his Valentine's date with Selena Gomez. Okay, So I said, I

(00:44):
want to do something that she loves. She loves movies, so I rented
out a movie theater and she loveslike she loves a comfortable couch. So
I took out the seats and weput like a huge couch in the front.
And I had I was like,what are all her favorite foods?
So I thought of you know,I hit, I spoke with her grandma,
I spoke with her mom or bestfriend, and this is what this

(01:07):
is what I came up with.I made her fried pickles. There.
I brought the fryer, everything,made her fried pickles. I got her
all her favorite taco bell I gother. She loves hot cheetos, I
got her hot cheetos. And thenshe loves movie theater nachos, so I
brought in a nacho machine. Andthen we watched you know, her favorite
movie like Growing Up was Almost Famous, So we watched Almost Famous. What

(01:30):
well thought out Valentine's date. Maybeit just stuck with me because I also
loved the movies, but I thoughtthat that was an interesting take. By
the way, Selena Gomes is showMurders Only in the Building, which comes
out on Hula, one of myfavorites. The season four trailer just dropped
yesterday. Okay, So then lateron in the interview, I don't know
if you know this about Benny Blanco, but he has producer and writer credits

(01:51):
on so many big songs, includingLove Yourself written by him and Ed Saron,
which they ended up giving to Youto Go him as his ex Justin
Bieber, and no, I don'tknow if there are really any ties there,
but here he is talking about itand we just got back from a
party and we're like drunk, andthere's that weird point where they're going to
wake you up at the border intwo hours, so it doesn't make sense

(02:14):
to go to sleep. So wewere like, let's just write a song.
So we're sitting there in the back, we're writing it, and it
just doesn't feel genuine, and Iwas like, well, what's going on
in your life? He was like, ah, I don't want to write
what's going on in my life?And I said, well, why don't
we write a song about not wantingto write what's going on in your life?
And then that's where we came withthe line that I don't want to

(02:35):
write a song. I don't wantanyone thinking I still care. I don't
because then basically he was like,I don't want to give the satisfaction to
this girl that's on my mind rightnow. Amazing and me fuget where I
came from such a good song,and I didn't want to write a song
because I didn't want anyone thinking Istill care or don't. But you still

(02:58):
get my phone and baby moving on, and I think it should be something
that I don't want to hold back. Maybe you should know that my mama
shit like everyone. I went toofar with playing that, but you get
what I'm picking up, picking upwhath I'm putting down right. I'll share
more on that interview, maybe lateron tomorrow, because he did talk about

(03:21):
clips with Billie Eilish and we aregonna world premiere her entire album with her
tomorrow night at midnight. Okay,where are we in our number of three
things? I guess we'll just filteron over here to Tom Brady. Now,
this clip is going viral because hehas addressed the Tom Brady roast.

(03:44):
I'm gonna play it in the woldjab. I loved when the jokes were
about me. I thought they wereso fun. I didn't like the way
that affected my kids. So it'sthe hardest part about like the bittersweet aspect
of when you do something that youthink is one way and then all of
a sudden you realize I wouldn't dothat again. You and I are on
the same page about this, right. You knew Tom going into a roast

(04:08):
that pretty much nothing was off limits. That's what a big roast like this
is. For now, we hadalready played audio from Nicki Glacier, who
had said we kind of collectively agreedto leave the kids out of it,
but unfortunately they were a byproduct ofthis. Well, you sign up for
it, you knew you were gettingpaid millions for it. I'm sitting here
thinking like, what did you expect? Speaking of the NFL, etc.

(04:30):
NFL adjacent the Bengals official schedule getsreleased tonight. I'll have that for you
tomorrow. And then just very quickly, for my Bachelorette fans in the back,
they just announced that the new GoldenBachelorette is gonna be Joan And I
don't know if that means a lotto you or not. It doesn't mean
much to me because I've never reallywatched or loved the show, but that
was big news this morning. Thatis three things you need to know for

(04:53):
the fifteenth of May. Your chanceto win that thousand bucks coming up not
long from now, around nine ohfive ish. So the best way to
