We're back talking about music again this week, catching up on some of the biggest stories we missed since the last podcast including cancelled tours, three unremarkable Drake albums, and more overpriced ticket discourse.Hosted by Stephen Williams and Zack Miller

On this episode we discuss "Blue Dot Fever" which has taken over the concert industry as more artists cancel tours due to low ticket sales. We discuss increasing ticket costs, reasonings behind them, LiveNation/Ticketmaster, and where this seems to be heading.Host/Produced by: https://instagram.com/poppincurbs

Host Dave Schlom is joined by nature and wildlife photographer Tom Murphy for an in-depth conversation about his life and career.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we're breaking down Blue Dot Fever, the new phrase haunting the concert industry — and no, it's not a disease, but for some artists and promoters, it might feel like one.The “blue dots” are the unsold seats staring back from online ticket maps, and lately, there have been a lot of them. We'll talk about why some tours are struggling to sell: sky-high ticket prices, dynamic pricing, expensive fees, post-pandemic “funflation” cooling off, and artists being booked into venues that may be bigger than their current audience can fill. We'll also get into what Blue Dot Fever says about the state of live music: Are fans finally pushing back? Are nostalgia tours losing steam? Have ticket prices gone too far? Or is this just a market correction after a few wild years of sold-out shows?Support the showBrowse the 33/24 Archives: Check out the backroom!Follow us:InstagramFacebookWatch us on YouTube!

Following on from last week's piece about the extent to which I use AI, I've had a surprising number of messages asking which AI I actually use and what for.I should immediately stress that I am not some sort of AI guru. I know people use Claude to write code, automate businesses and build entire internal operating systems. That is beyond me. I can't code. I'm a one-man band, who occasionally hires freelancers. I'm self-taught. But here's what I actually use and what for.I stress the best method of all is trial and error. You get results quickly. If you don't get what you're looking for, adjust the prompt, or try a different app.Let's start with the visual stuff.Pretty much every image accompanying my articles, such as the one above, is generated on Midjourney. I've experimented with ChatGPT, Grok and other image generators, but I like Midjourney's images the most. My prompt is often just the article title plus the aspect ratio. Four options appear. I pick the best one.That alone would have seemed miraculous ten years ago.I also use Midjourney extensively for music videos. For example, in this video about the lighter side of hyperinflationary collapse, almost every visual was AI-generated from the lyrics. My editor, Goat, then used Runway to animate the images. We filmed my face against a green screen and plonked it on top afterwards.If Midjourney didn't produce what I had in mind, I simply kept adjusting the prompt until it did, or I tried another image generator as a last resortEven as recently as five years ago, let alone twenty, to make a video like this would have cost hundreds of thousands, millions even, and taken many months. We would have needed teams of animators, post production specialists, Soho studio space and lord knows what else. That, to my mind, is the genuinely revolutionary part of AI. Democratisation of media and all of that.But on top of it all you still need someone - in this case my editor Goat - who knows what they're doing.People often argue that AI ia replacing creativity. What it is actually doing, at least in my case, is dramatically lowering the cost of production and making creativity available to all. The possibilities for creative littlemen like me are enormous. I made this video using Grok and Neural FramesAnd this one was generated entirely in Neural FramesIronically, we used no AI in the music itself. We edited the videos either in Capcut or FinalCut.By the way, if you enjoy these videos, the first place I upload them is at my comedy Substack, so sign up to that. It's free.Writing, research, advice and moreThis next video, about the most prolific slaving civilisations in history, generated millions of views across social media, and became the most viewed page on this Substack. It is an interesting case.Not because of the images themselves, which were generated with Midjourney, but because of the research. AI couldn't and in some cases wouldn't do it. Claude flat out refused because of the subject matter. It would not engage. (IN other words it is biased). ChatGPT couldn't get its head round what I was trying to do. Grok came closest but in the end I worked with a human researcher, Sam, who I knew from my book, who turned out to be much better.I have paid subscriptions to Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Venice. I cooled somewhat on Claude after the slavery episode. Around the same time I was in a nasty dispute with three former business colleagues and needed some help. Claude kept getting hysterical and calling on me to speak to a lawyer, which I didn't have the time or budget to do, whereas ChatGPT gave the me the help I was looking for. So between the two episodes Claude has been rather demoted in my office, though I still use it as a sounding board for anything to do with writing - where it is strong - if I want a second or third opinion. I get that the experts think Claude is the boss, but for me it is too captured. ChatGPT has replaced it as my primary all-rounder.In general terms, ChatGPT is the most user-friendly though you have to go into the settings and tell it to stop being sycophantic, as that just gets annoying. (They are all as bad as each other for sycophancy).I'll use them all for brainstorming, proofreading, titles, summarising transcripts, challenging arguments, evaluating, drafting legal docs and agreements, advice, helping with negotiating. But I tend to go to ChatGPT ahead of the others, especially for anything to do with diet, health, personal development, mentoring, problem solving, advice and so on. It is basically having an extremely fast, but not always reliable assistant. You cannot blindly delegate to it, you have to oversee, because it is not always right, even if it behaves like it is. Grok is the best for anything current. If I am writing a satirical song, for example, and I need an overview of a politician or a news story, Grok is best by far. I think it's because Grok has X to mine from. Regarding investments, Grok beats most hedge fund managers, apparently. I use it to gauge sentiment around companies and themes: it can quickly tell me whether people are already talking about it or whether almost nobody is. That is very useful. If thousands of people are discussing a company, the hype cycle is probably already fairly advanced. If nobody is discussing it, that is more interesting.For ongoing projects, however, I still prefer ChatGPT and Claude. I find their their folder systems are more user-friendly and easier to organise, particularly for themes I want to keep coming back to. Grok - or is it me - seems to lose conversations between the app and when I use it via X.Grok could quickly become my go-to allrounder, though I have some shares in SpaceX, so I am probably biased. Broadly speaking I have greater faith in Elon Musk's integrity than I do Sam Altman's, even if for now I have voted with my usage for Sam Altman.Claude may be the most capable technically, particularly for coding and analysis, but I also found it the most censorious. Venice, by contrast, is the least filtered. And it gives you access to Seedance 2.0 (which is the best of the video generators), but it has other technological shortcomings. None of them are neutral, and you still need to judge what they tell you - which requires a functioning brain. I find AI really suits a one-man band like me, who has some experience, knowledge and who still retains a modicum of cognitive ability. It makes me so much more productive. But you still need a functioning brain.At the same time, I would argue that people who refuse to engage with AI at all - while I admire them - are putting themselves at a disadvantage. The productivity gains are simply too large. AI has not made me less creative. If anything, it has made me more productive creatively. Ideas that were once stuck in my head can now be realised.

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."

Send us Fan MailThis episode, we're discussing why regular Dr. Pepper is the worst Dr. Pepper, AI glasses and smart watches, a mysterious new disease called Blue Dot Fever that musicians are catching, apps targeting sad people targeting people who are desperate to talk to Jesus and their dead pets, a controversial new slush fund, loud white people at concerts, and much more! It's a good time as always!

De concerten van Harry Styles in de Johan Cruijff ArenA zijn niet uitverkocht, en dat terwijl er wegens grote belangstelling tien concerten op rij waren ingepland.

Our guest for Chapter 1 is John McMurray, chair of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR)'s Deadball Era Research Committee. His essay, "September 1, 1906: A Pivotal Game Early in the Deadball Era," appeared in the Committee's newsletter, "The Inside Game," earlier this year. The game between the Philadelphia A's and the home team Boston Americans (now Red Sox) lasted 24 innings with the A's winning 4-1. The game featured many deadball era baseball features including speed, defense, strategy, moving the runners, crowd participation and heroic pitching with each starter pitching complete games in this marathon contest. McMurray paints a vivid picture of deadball era baseball at the turn of the last century by walking us through this amazing ballgame. In Chapter 2, Craig and Rex discuss blue dot fever that is causing artists in the pop music business to cancel shows and entire tours this summer.Join the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) here:https://sabr.org/communityThis is a cbc.com story on the Live Nation Lawsuit discussed in Chapter Two:https://www.cbc.ca/news/investigates/live-nation-executive-exclusive-9.7191295Episodes featured: 220 - In an Instant It Was All Gone: The Ray Chapman Story w/ Scott H.

The A's won 4 AL pennants and 3 World Series titles from 1910 to 1914. Vic Willis, a Hall of Famer, lost 29 games pitching for the 51-103 Boston Nationals in 1905, not 26 games.Consider supporting Hooks & Runs by purchasing books, including those featured in this episode (if any were), through our store at Bookshop.org.

"Blue dot fever" is the new phrase floating around for artists whose tours have seat maps full of unsold blue dots for concerts, especially in arenas and stadiums. It's said to be a precursor to a cancelled tours. The term is catchy, it captures headlines, but is the “problem” a bit exaggerated? To break it down, I'm with CAA music touring agent Akin Aliu. We last sat down for Arena Tours: The Art and Science Behind Sold Out Shows. With blue dot fever now part of the discourse, we dive deep into the latest in the business, how agents anticipate demand, and what usually leads to a successful or unsuccessful tour.

A hat that could read your mind is being tested in the Silicon Valley.

Has social media changed what it means to be famous, or have things like Ticketmaster finally made concerts too expensive to attend? Or are we, the audience, to blame?

From Mamma Mia. 00:01Speaker 2 Welcome to the Spill your daily pop culture fects. My name is manishaus Warren, producer of The Spell, but filling in today, and I'm joined by Pena provis And today We've got so much to get into. We're unpacking the blue dot phenomenon that's kind of destroying the music industry. Plus one of Hollywood's cutest couples has some exciting news, and we're bringing you on a bit of a walk down memory lane, a bit of a history lesson on how they met and fell in love. But first, a new trailer has dropped for a movie that I really couldn't be more excited about, and I think a lot of people feel the same way. Tina, Are you excited about the Odyssey? 00:36Speaker 3 I'm so excited because the cast looks insane and it just looks like it's going to be the biggest blockbuster. 00:43Speaker 2 Tell me where you remember my wife? As sorry, n. 00:51Speaker 1 Want more? 00:53Speaker 2 Help me go? 00:55Speaker 1 What do you do if he came back here and find all these shoots in his house. 00:59Speaker 2 Were plying you didn't even know? 01:02Speaker 1 Like I'm snaggling past looking after your wife, and so. 01:08Speaker 2 Do you see my dad is coming out when I watched it, I got a similar vibe to watching Dune, which I know you hadn't watched until recently. 01:20Speaker 1 I watched it now. 01:21Speaker 2 Yes, everyone, roll Across said, so, this is the first full length trailer that we've gotten the huge Christopher Nolan adaptation that's dropping in July. And it's based on the Odyssey, which is a classic Greek poem by Homer. It's one of the oldest surviving works of literature and one of the sort of foundational texts of Western literature. But there's been different variations along the way, like there's a retelling that's been done by Stephen Fry and now this big movie is coming out in July. How much do you know about the plot of the Odyssey. I don't know a lot about the plot. Okay, well I learned a lot about it today the trailer. I was like, I feel like I get a picture of what it is. So it's the story of Ody, who is the hero of this plot, and he is a legendary king of Ithaca and a war hero in Greek mythology, and he's trying to get back home after the Trojan War. 02:11Speaker 1 He's sort of like the original road Trip protagonist back home. 02:15Speaker 2 He's in a race against time to get home to his family, and the reason for that is basically because while he was away, a lot of new suitors have popped up who are trying to get with his wife, who's played by Anne Hathaway. 02:27Speaker 1 I love how you're describing it. Yeah, like, here's at a road troop. Everyone's trying to get with his wife. Think about it, Tina, It's a lot like LOI. 02:33Speaker 2 Yeah, the crazy way there's all these men, she's got to couple up with someone. She's got to get home before she couples up with someone else. And watching the trailer, it just really dawned on me how epic this is going to be, because, as you said, the cast is amazing. 02:46Speaker 1 It's that typical Christopher. 02:47Speaker 2 Nolan film where he loves to put a whole bunch of high profile people, even in the supporting roles, to really bring those to life. 02:54Speaker 1 Who are you most excited about in the cast? Liner Browert Patterson. Yeah, I'm just obsessed with him. 02:59Speaker 3 I feel like he's making such a comeback and I love seeing him back on our screens. And I'm excited for like the press run that they'll do because I just love him in all the interviews that he's been doing over the past year. 03:09Speaker 1 He also got a lot of airtime in the trailer. 03:12Speaker 3 Yeah, which I'm surprised because his character isn't the key lead, so I was surprised to see so. 03:17Speaker 1 Much of him in it. Yeah. 03:18Speaker 2 So he plays Antons, who's one of the main suitors who is competing for Penelope's affections, who's played by Anne Hathaway, And Yeah, I. 03:27Speaker 1 Just I thought I felt like I saw more of him than Matt Day. 03:29Speaker 3 Same same when I was kind of reading over like what had come out on the news, I was surprised, like and then getting a little bit of the gist of the plot, I actually thought. 03:37Speaker 1 Rob was going to be the lead. 03:39Speaker 2 Also, what to think of the kind of accent he was doing because he was giving Edward Collin. 03:43Speaker 1 Do you think it was a bit of a nix? I was like, is it a marriage? Do we just see him like that forever? He's just always going to be Edward Collin. 03:49Speaker 2 He can't break out of it. Zendaya is also in it. She plays Athena, but she wasn't in the trailer, but she's going to play the goddess of Wisdom and War who protects and guides Matt Damon on his journey home. I think the main thing I thought watching the trailer was they captured the urgency and the high stakes really well, like I was stressed. I was like, is he going to get back? Is he going to get back to his wife and son? They're going to be okay. So Tom Holland plays Telemachus, who is the son of the main character who's played by Matt Damon. So it'll be quite cute to see Tom Holland and Zendea both in this film. 04:20Speaker 1 I mean, what do you think of his name? 04:22Speaker 2 I think it sounds like a techno festival, but I just can't imagine someone saying that conversationally. 04:28Speaker 1 No, what's his nickname going to be? Telly? Kelly? Yeah, Kelly. 04:32Speaker 2 But he is also quite under threat in this because all the suitors who are going after his mum trying to get Penelope's affections just sort of kind of want him out of the picture. They want to clean slate to get in there enough. So of course the half of haters can't be stopped. So there's a scene of Anne Hathaway in the trailer and everyone's talking about this one second where she's doing really great acting. She's in the fields of it, but her facial expressions are rather which people are attributing to work being done. So there's just been a lot of common treas no one in Hollywood gets work done. I know, everyone's so unfairly mean to her. There's all these comments saying, you know, her eyebrows and her forehead aren't moving. They didn't have, you know, botox in twelve hundred BCE, so she's getting a little bit of flack for that. But it does look like she's going to be amazing in this movie, and she's having a huge year. So the movie is out July seventeenth. It's going to be a huge theatrical event. And if you want to watch the trailer, it looks visually stunning. So if you want to watch the full thing, there's a link to that in our show notes. 05:28Speaker 1 And yeah, just a few months to go. 05:30Speaker 3 So The Pussycat Dolls are the latest musical app to be struck down by Blue Dot Fever. Now I hadn't heard about this before, but it's basically like when you go on a ticket Master website and you have a look at like the seating map and all of the blue dots are all of the unsold seats. 05:46Speaker 1 So they've actually just had to cancel their tour. 05:49Speaker 3 They've come out with a statement saying that they've had to have a really honest look at the North American run and because of that, they've made the heartbreaking decision to cancel all the tour dates. Now, when I saw they announce their tour from Australia, I was excited for I was like, what a throwback. 06:03Speaker 1 I was excited too. 06:04Speaker 2 I just associate all their songs with you know when I grow up. Yes, like I'm eight years old and I'm like shaking my ass to this song that I don't appropriate. 06:14Speaker 3 Yeah, So it's really disappointing to hear that it has been called off. But they're not the only musical act in the past couple of weeks that have had to pause or you know, cancel their shows. So this follows post Malone. He's had to shift the dates to his tour. Megan Trainer has also canceled, and Zane Now, they all have various reasons for why they've had to cancel their top At the end of the day, they weren't really sold out, and the Pussycat Dolls are the only ones who've kind of acknowledged this. 06:42Speaker 1 In their statements. 06:43Speaker 3 But it really shows a little bit of a shift in how these concerts are coming to life and where people are choosing to spend their money. And it just seems like it's no longer viable to have these big stadium shows because these aren't like small acts. 06:56Speaker 2 These are like big headliners. They should be selling out these stadiums. Yeah, and it's interesting to see which of them acknowledge that as the reason that they're canceling and which don't, because I guess it is a bit of taking a piece of humble pie to be like, we're calling it off because we couldn't fill the seeds. 07:11Speaker 3 I've really making up some other reasons. And in China was like, I've got to look after my kid. I'm like, that's not a new thing. Yeah, you already had. 07:17Speaker 1 You the kid was there. You already had your kid. 07:19Speaker 2 And didn't post Malone say he needed to release more music. 07:22Speaker 1 He needs taking time. 07:23Speaker 3 See he's only shifted his by like three weeks. But I'm assuming that leg of the tour. I was just like, wasn't doing that well, so, I guess it's an interesting look at people's willingness when it comes to investing in these big shows and festivals and things like that, alongside these like surging ticket prices, like how many acts can you go to in one year? So your favorite artist is coming that year, are you going to be able to go to three shows? 07:48Speaker 1 Probably? Not, Like the cost of tickets is so expensive now. Yeah, And I don't know. 07:52Speaker 2 If you've sort of found this in your group chats and in your circles that it used to be someone's coming, when are we going? That was more the vibe, whereas I think now people are really realpliers. 08:02Speaker 1 It wants to go. 08:05Speaker 2 Yeah, but you just kind of now have to save that for when you know your top few favorite artists come, and you know, most people are only probably going to one or two a year totally. 08:16Speaker 3 And I guess in Australia we get so many less acts coming over because of the supply and demand and like the physical logistics to make it all the way over here, it just isn't viable to do those big stadium shows. So for us, when acts do come over, we're met with those really high costs. And again, yeah, for the group chat. No, not everybody can go. 08:36Speaker 1 You're just picturing. 08:37Speaker 2 When they're sitting around planning out their tour dates, they must be like do we do Australia? 08:40Speaker 1 Like it's just so far away? 08:42Speaker 2 And when you think about something like the Ears tour or those huge sets that they then have to transport everywhere, that's a huge cost for them. 08:49Speaker 3 So in Australia it really impacts how artists are touring locally. For a lot of those major international tours, you know, they are higher logistic costs involved, and you know when you come out of a concert you see those trucks outside they're packing up the stage. They're getting everything from production into those trucks and then going from Sydney to Melbourne and there's a huge cost involved. So they're often putting a lot of attention into the places that they're going to be able to quickly roll out when they're in Australia. So you can understand if you were going to add you know, an Adelaide and a Perth leg on top of Sydney and Melbourne, you would be driving, you'd be on the road for days. So it's not like in the States we can kind of pack up and like, do your shows. Australia has so much ground to cover, so it does make sense that, you know, they do focus their time on a Sydney or a Melbourne, but it's such a shame because so many other states and so many people are missing out. 09:42Speaker 2 I know, and the other states do really get up in arms about it, Like if you speak to someone from Perple, Britain during. 09:48Speaker 1 The ears to it, oh my god, because they have to factor in so much more to be able to come to something like that. Yeah, totally. 09:53Speaker 3 And there obviously are exceptions the rule of food fighters who have historically loved coming to Australia. You know, they've done one noto shows in Tasmania, they've done Geelong. 10:02Speaker 1 Before, but that is like not the noll. 10:04Speaker 2 I know. I was living in Melbourne when they did the Geelong tour and I still remember everyone being like, oh, I'm going to the few Fighters this weekend hour and a half drive there. 10:11Speaker 1 I was like what, Yeah, where are they doing it? And there are obviously acts. 10:15Speaker 3 That come over, like Bad Bunny came over and he did two Sydney shows and they were obviously massive sellout shows, but because he was only in Sydney. You've obviously got people flying in from all over the country just in order to be there and see him. So it's kind of the people at the top. You know, you have Taylor Swift, people are fighting for those tickets, like there are like hundreds of thousands of people waiting in a queue to buy those tickets when she announces a tour. But there's like that middle ground where your acts, like the Pussycat Dolls are just like not able to get it across the line anymore. 10:45Speaker 2 I know. It is interesting to think about because when we were initially chatting about them, we were both like, Oh, it's so exciting that they're coming here. And then you were like, would you actually get a ticket to go and see the pussy Cat Dolls, And. 10:55Speaker 1 I was like, I don't know. 10:56Speaker 2 I do like some of their old songs, but also the reunion isn't all of the area original members as well? 11:01Speaker 1 I believe it's three of the original band, and isn't there like twenty four of them? Yeah? True, they can't get them all. Yeah, it goes on tour. 11:08Speaker 3 I don't know if I would actually be putting money into seeing the Pussycat Dolls. 11:11Speaker 2 I know, it is sort of the girl math of you know, do I put it into this year's budget even though it's so far away. And I think the problem is these days, the cost of living is so high, so you're really focusing what you can spend on a few key performers that maybe you're really passionate about. And we sort of saw the knock on effect of someone like Adele coming to Australia a while ago, and how people are such big fans of hers that they spent so much money didn't they on going to their concerts. 11:36Speaker 1 Which left less for other smaller artists coming. Yeah. 11:38Speaker 3 So she last toured Australia in twenty seventeen, and she notoriously hates flying. So I think a lot of people knew like, if we're going to see Adele, this is going to be when we see her. She played in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne. She sold over six hundred thousand tickets, so it doesn't really free up much like disposable income for other artists who may be touring in that time. Yeah, you've really either got to be in that a group category where your fans are so hardcore but also so widespread, like you have such wide appeal or it's really hard to make a dent at the moment. 12:08Speaker 2 And I think we see that in a lot of like Australian festivals as well, like we've lost so many we lost falls festivals, splendor in the Grass and like I think you and I were having a conversation earlier about like that's how we found so many artists. 12:19Speaker 1 Like smaller artists, and. 12:20Speaker 3 That's where you would first like get a taste of them before they get big enough. 12:24Speaker 1 To sell their own stadium shows. 12:25Speaker 2 Yes, I remember seeing Billie Eilish at twenty eighteen. 12:29Speaker 1 She's crazy, even the move which is really now. She headlined groove in Them. 12:33Speaker 2 I believe it was twenty nineteen, which doesn't even feel that long ago, and it is. I know, it really is a bad reality, but it's crazy to think now there are so few of those platforms that people can make that real headway in terms of gathering fans and getting momentum going that it is hard to imagine someone now going from a festival stage two sold out stadium tours, even though I'm sure it will happen on occasion. 12:55Speaker 3 That actually reminds me of when I saw Taylor Swift and she had Sabrina Carpter as her supporting artists. Now, at this time, I actually didn't know a whole lot about Saprina Carpenter and actually rained so much on the night we went, so we didn't see the opening act and I didn't actually think twice about it because I hadn't really known much about her. And then Taylor actually ended up bringing her out later and they did a song together. It was really cute, and then lo and behold six months later, she's one of the biggest names in the music industry. 13:22Speaker 1 That's one of the few. 13:22Speaker 2 Inns we have left, Like one of the biggest artists in a world has to give a formal introduction from world Yeah, to put you on the map. 13:29Speaker 1 It's hard to see the impact on the music industry. 13:31Speaker 3 And I am such a big advocate for like live music and gigs, like I'm still out here shelling. 13:36Speaker 1 Out my Dallas. So I just think it'd be really. 13:39Speaker 3 Great if you know, it's hard out here and maybe you don't have money for like those bigger ticket acts, but there are so many more smaller artists, you know in Australia who were touring and it's live music. 13:49Speaker 1 Let's get out there and go see them. 13:51Speaker 2 Guys, and you can save money pre at home and then you know, have a really good night out of it. It's so much expensive than going to the stadium two a half the time. Ok So earlier this week there were some exciting baby news from one of the biggest stars. Cameron Diaz Her and Benji Madden announced on Instagram that they've welcomed their third child, Nortus. 14:10Speaker 1 Madden thoughts on the name, I don't know about that one. 14:14Speaker 2 It feels a little ship themes like nautical, doesn't it it does they already have they should be in the Odyssey. 14:21Speaker 1 Maybe this is how they're out there. 14:22Speaker 2 So they already have a six year old daughter called Radix and a two year old son called Cardinal. 14:28Speaker 1 So oh, I think there's not even really a theme. No, I think the theme is out there. Maybe. Well they're nailing that. 14:36Speaker 2 So in their Instagram caption they said, well, actually, Benji post it and said Cameron and I are happy, excited and feeling so blessed. Blessed is in capitals to announce the birth of our third child, Naughtous Madden. Welcome to the world, son and Cameron is fifty three years old, and she's spoken before about sort of her long journey to motherhood and feeling super lucky to be able to become a mum later in life. So I think the blessed in capital letters just look a little bit of a nod to that. But it did make me go on a bit of a journey down memory lane because I don't know about you, but I didn't actually know a lot about Cameron and met you. 15:11Speaker 1 No, So I'm ready for this deep dive. I'm ready to learn. 15:13Speaker 2 Yeah, it turns out they had quite a cute little meet you, which I'm going to tell you all about. But before Cameron met Benji, she had a little bit of a type when it came to who she was dating. So she definitely loved her Hollywood bad boys and pop stars. 15:28Speaker 1 So fair So do you think can why not? I mean, we'd all love it if the option was presented to us. 15:34Speaker 2 So from nineteen ninety six to nineteen ninety eight, she dated Matt Dillon. They were co stars together in There Something About Mary, and apparently they broke up. 15:43Speaker 1 Because of long distance. He was in New York, she. 15:45Speaker 2 Was in La Then a couple years later, she was with Jared Leto for about four years. There was a rumored engagement, and then that didn't work out, apparently because you know, both very busy careers, scheduling conflicts. 15:57Speaker 1 He's got to focus on thirty seconds commas. He's working on himself. He's working on himself. You know, we all we've all heard that light. 16:05Speaker 2 Then of course she was with Justin Timberlake as well in the early two thousands. That was really high profile and it ended amid cheating rumors from a Playboy bunny. 16:14Speaker 1 So oh, a bit of a scandal there. 16:16Speaker 2 There was a former Playboy model called Zoe Gregory and she was out there claiming her and Justin Timberlake had a fling while he was dating Cameron and that they quote unquote fooled around at the Playboy mansion. 16:26Speaker 1 Interesting, maybe it was the world tour. This is going to ruin the door. 16:31Speaker 2 So she had this real pattern of high profile actors and musicians and these quite intense public relationships that then didn't work out, which I think makes it all the sweeter when it does work out right in the end. So getting to her and Benji, they met in May twenty fourteen at Well I think inflicting reports of a dinner party or a house party. But it was a gathering of sorts that Cameron was hosting, and they met via Nicole Ritchie, who is Benji's sister in law. She's married to his twin, Joel Madden, and so they were invited to this party, and I guess he was invited by association. They actually hadn't met before, despite running in quite stiless me cute, I know, I love her, meet cute, And what Cameron has said about it is she said, well, firstly, speaking about whether or not Nicole Ritchie specifically set them up, she said, I met them first, them being Nicole and Joel, and they didn't set us up, but we were in the same room because of them, and then we found each other. But Nicole Ritchie is taking credit for setting them up, because she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live this was right after they met. I'm going to take responsibility for everything I approve of anything that's going to make Benji happy. 17:35Speaker 3 She's probably working behind the scenes to make it happen. Cameron didn't even know. 17:39Speaker 2 I know. And also, if I'm even in the room where a couple meets and then they hit it off. 17:43Speaker 1 I'm taking responsibility for this as you should. Yeah, if I made that invite happen. 17:47Speaker 2 So in terms of first impressions, Cameron said she recalled her first reaction to seeing Benji at the party as he's hot and I was surprised that they hadn't cross paths sooner, and basically very much like you know you're the one. 17:58Speaker 1 They obviously hit it off the beginning. We're all about each other. 18:02Speaker 2 They started dating in secret over that summer in twenty fourteen, and then they went public after these yacht vacation photos were leaked, and that's how everyone found out about it. I mean that that's how you want people to find out, right, Yeah on a yacht, Like imagine all your other exes. You're like, well, I'm on a yacht now with this guy. 18:17Speaker 1 So yeah. 18:17Speaker 2 Snucky and one of Benji's friends sort of spoke to the press and was like, Benji always falls in love easily, but this time it's for real. They make each other incredibly happy. 18:27Speaker 1 Which I thought. 18:28Speaker 2 I think if I was getting my friend to the press, I don't know, if he signed off with this, I'd be like, could you drop the always falls in love easily. 18:34Speaker 1 Bit I'd feel like, why did you add that? Who says that? Who is the source? Like this one's real. They're like, we're not friends anymore. 18:39Speaker 2 Yeah. So later that year, Benji spoke to people about it and he confirmed the relationship and he talked about how much being with Cameron was impacting his music and he was feeling so driven and they had this whole whirlwind romance throughout that year, and then after just seven months they got engaged. 18:53Speaker 1 My god, that's fuss well they say, like when you're older. Yeah, that's so fair. I love that for them. 18:59Speaker 2 You and then planned the wedding insanely fast. So they got engaged December twenty fourteen and then had the wedding January twenty fifteen. 19:07Speaker 1 Oh my god, that's a quick turnaround for a wedding. I know, I don't know how they pulled it together. 19:10Speaker 2 I mean they did throw it at they had some help, probably probably, yeah, probably. 19:14Speaker 1 A forty plant. Yeah. 19:16Speaker 2 So they had a very intimate wedding, was a backyard wedding at their house in Beverly Hills. I mean, I imagine it's not a little shack. It's probably yeah, I don't think Sotly probably got some space and Drew Barrymore was there in Gwyneth Paltrow and they got married in this giant backyard tent with all these beautiful flowers and candles, and then all sounded amazing. 19:34Speaker 1 But I think what's really lovely about them. 19:36Speaker 2 Is obviously they've been married now for about eleven years, but they've said really cute things about each other along the way. I don't know if you've ever seen any of the quotes where they talk about each other. 19:45Speaker 1 What do they say? So I hope they're saying nice things about each other. They're just airing what they find out. 19:51Speaker 2 So in twenty seventeen, so this is like a few years after Cameron gave this interview where she sort of explained why she waited until she was forty two. 19:58Speaker 1 To get married, and I thought, what a big she said? That was cute? 20:00Speaker 2 Was I think it's a matter of I just hadn't met my husband. I had boyfriends before, and there's a really really distinct difference between husbands and boyfriends. What do you think about, Teach, she's real for that. She gives me hope because I'm probably gonna be single time like forty, you're like, I'm currently seeing the boyfriends. I need to see the husband. Bring me the husband. And then She is also gushed about him on a few podcasts, even recently, like you Know twenty twenty one onwards, saying when I saw him from the get go, I knew he was special. 20:26Speaker 1 I was like, you're the guy, You're the hidden gem in my life. 20:28Speaker 2 Oh. 20:29Speaker 3 I love like share this insight into it because you just remember, like they're real people and there's like this real love between them. 20:35Speaker 2 I know. And as much as we all talk about, oh, it's so nice when you just meet someone and it's a slow burn, I think it's really cute when they. 20:41Speaker 1 Actually are saying it's love at first sight. 20:43Speaker 3 I know. And I feel like we hear so much about like the breakups and like the scandal, so it is nice to like hear like the success stories. 20:49Speaker 1 Worked out as aspirational. 20:51Speaker 2 She's also talked a lot about how Benji was the first person to really teach her to value herself and before that she just felt like she was always seeking validation in her partners. That she said, Oh my god, imagine being Cameron Diaz and you're seeking validation. 21:03Speaker 1 Oh, my god. 21:04Speaker 2 This is exactly how I felt when we covered on the podcast how Meryl Streep talked about, you know, feeling it'scure with roles and things like that, and hearing Cameron Diaz saying like, you know, not valuing herself. 21:13Speaker 3 You're like, so everyone's the second. Oh my god, I know, I cannot imagine that. I'm like, surely you're like the most confident person in the world. 21:19Speaker 1 I know you would think. I mean, you're a Charlie's Angel. I think some other cute fun things about them. Is they actually got I don't know. 21:25Speaker 2 Actually, I don't know if this is cutter if I disapprove of this, but I guess in their situation, it's cute. They got matching tattoos on their wedding day. Oh I don't mind that. 21:32Speaker 1 You don't mind that. 21:33Speaker 2 I mean, you're already starting a legally binding contract. 21:36Speaker 1 Is it a fun tattoo? 21:37Speaker 2 Cameron got Benji's name and Hebrew on her finger, and he got the same. I don't know if name I would like like maybe like something fun. I'd like something I could repurpose if it didn't work out, Like, oh, I got this turtle, not because it's our favorite animal. But I don't know if like turtle wedding day works, but like maybe we can workshop that with your wedding. 21:53Speaker 1 Just get apart. That can apply no matter what happens. 21:56Speaker 2 I think it's also cute how they're both talking about how they ran in the same celebrities circles for years, but they never crossed paths until Nicole Richie brought Benji to that event. 22:05Speaker 1 So I'm surprised by that. I know Cameron was too. 22:08Speaker 2 She said, how come I never saw this guy before. 22:10Speaker 1 It's kind of one of those things. 22:11Speaker 2 Where it feels like the universe waits till you're ready. Because if she met him when she was with Justin Timberlay, exactly why would we be Maybe she was manifested, is exactly ready. They're both really private as well, so they don't put out any photos of their kids. They've actually sued paparazzi before over releasing pics of Radix. I keep wanting to say Radish, but it's Radis, he says. 22:34Speaker 1 Child. 22:35Speaker 2 And after they sort of got together and settled down and had a family, Cameron went on quite a career pause. So in twenty eighteen, she quit acting to focus on the family. 22:44Speaker 1 She was quite open about it. 22:46Speaker 2 She said she was retiring, taking a step back, focusing on her marriage and kids, and she actually launched a wine brand. 22:51Speaker 1 In that time. 22:51Speaker 2 In twenty twenty, she released Avaline, her wine brand. Apparently he was very supportive in that process. And then now, obviously she has had a bit of a return to acting because in the life last couple of years she was in the Netflix film Back to Action with Jamie Fox that came out last year, and now she's filming a romantic comedy directed by Stephen Merchant, which we don't know. 23:08Speaker 1 The title of You I Love. That should be great, I know, So she's getting back into the swing of things. 23:13Speaker 2 But I think for that period had, you know, a lot of focus on family because they had their first kid twenty nineteen, and then they've now got a two year old and now the new baby. So yeah, that is a little bit of a you know, walk down memory lane history lesson on. I think one of Hollywood's cutest couples, but weirdly under the radar, like I knew nothing about their whole love story. 23:29Speaker 1 Maybe I was just living under a rock. So cute. I hope that kind of love finds me. 23:34Speaker 3 Thanks so much for listening to the Spill today, and if you want to watch as well as listen, you can now watch us on Apple Podcasts.

Why does chronic diarrhea continue even when testing is normal?In this episode, we walk through a case of microscopic colitis and how to approach persistent gut symptoms that don't respond to standard treatment. We break down what microscopic colitis is, why it's often missed on routine colonoscopy, and how it can present as long-standing, non-bloody diarrhea.We also explore how medications like PPIs, NSAIDs, and SSRIs may contribute, and how overlapping factors like dysbiosis, inflammation, and even constipation can complicate the clinical picture.In this episode, we discuss:- Chronic diarrhea and when to look beyond IBS- What microscopic colitis is and how it's diagnosed- Why colonoscopies can miss key findings- The role of medications in gut inflammation- Treatment approaches, including budesonide, bismuth, and bile acid binders- Functional medicine perspectives on persistent gut symptomsMusic provided by Blue Dot.
