Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Canwen's entertainer report he's on the Bread Show. Marshall Mathers
aka Eminem opens up about years of prescription pill abuse
from Vicoing and Valume to Ambien and Xanax from the
late nineties until two thousand and eight in his new documentary,
and in it, he explains, I got into this vicious
cycle of under pressed, so I need more pills than

(00:21):
your tolerance gets high, so you end up overdosing. I
woke up in the hospital with tubes in me and
I couldn't get up. The turning point came when he
realized that he had a personal cost of his addiction.
He missed his daughter, Hayley's birthday. That's when he vowed
he would never do that again, and he didn't. He's
maintained his sobriety since April of two thousand and eight,

(00:42):
marking nearly seventeen years of recovery, and credits that moment
as a spark for his transformation. By the way, fun fact,
Elton John is Eminem sponsor. I don't know if a
lot of people know that, and it's like one of
my favorite facts. So I think they're just doing this
weekend for the documentary in certain theaters and then I'm
sure will come out after that. Cassie Ventura made her

(01:02):
first social media post since giving birth and testifying against
Ditty in his federal trials. She posted a meme of
this dude dancing slowly on our Instagram story about the
ups and downs of postpartum, with the caption when your
old self slowly starts coming out of postpartum little by
little lol. Remember. She gave birth to her third child,
a son, in late May, shortly after her court testimony

(01:26):
when she shared really disturbing accounts of I have to say,
alleged abuse, but I very much believe her during her
relationship with Ditty. He was later convicted on two counts
related to transportation of prostitution, but acquitted on those sex
trafficking and racketeering charges. He is now waiting his sentence,
which I believe is coming in October. And like I

(01:47):
told you yesterday or was it earlier this morning, you guys,
the days are blending together either way. I told you
that he says he's going to perform at Madison Square Garden,
so I'd be interested to see. I'm gonna stand outside
and see who's going into that That's all I'm going
to say about that. Lastly, Selena Gomez said that the
best thing that came out of dating a Jonah's brother
was meeting Taylor Swift. She was on the Therapust podcast

(02:10):
with Jake Shane and yes that is the real name.
He loves to eat octopus, so get your head out
of the gutter. But I love him so much. I'm
so happy he keeps getting these big interviews. But Selena
spoke about how she and Taylor mett and if you
didn't know, back in two thousand and eight, Selena was
dating Nick Jonas and Taylor was dating Joe Jonas, which
is how they first met and sparked that friendship that

(02:30):
I mean, it's lasted for over sixteen years. Selena has
been really open about saying that Taylor is one of
the only friends she has in the industry because she
feels like a lot of people are kind of fake.
And she says that she's also heard some of Taylor's
most iconic songs like love Story before they ever have
gotten released, so it pays to be her bestie. But
they both say that they are happy. That's the best

(02:50):
thing that came out of dating those two brothers. By
