00:00Bill Belichick, and this is, again, according to the New York Times, Bill Belichick and
00:07Jordan Hudson are reportedly engaged.
00:10She is my muse, my flame.
00:12Pretty good.
00:12Now, you're right.
00:13Update that acknowledgments in the book.
00:15Maybe your wife.
00:15Yeah.
00:16My fiance.
00:17Do you think he says fiance?
00:18You think he's a big fiance?
00:19Well, my fiance.
00:20I bet in that phase, you kind of have to be.
00:22Oh, here's my fiance.
00:23Well, because if she's ever in earshot and you don't call her the fiance, you can't be
00:27like, that's my girlfriend.
00:27Oh, that's bad news.
00:28That's like, get ready for an all-out war.
00:31I think I did that once.
00:32I did it as well.
00:33Yeah, that's not great.
00:34You're like, oh, that's my girlfriend.
00:35And then it's like, you can't be doing that.
00:36Meet my girlfriend.
00:36She's like, who now?
00:37I was like, huh?
00:39I swallowed a bug.
00:40I gotta go.
00:41Yeah, so I think if she's within earshot, you're contractually obligated to call her the
00:45fiance.
00:45Or she's almost like Daenerys Targaryen, where he has like 20 titles.
00:48She's like COO of Belichick Industries.
00:51My creative views.
00:52My IDA.
00:54Yeah.
00:54My fiance.
00:55You gotta do the whole thing with her.
00:56It's a laundry.
00:57The breaker of chains.
00:58The unburnt Daenerys Stormburn of the House Targaryen.
01:02That's her making her way to all these appearances.
01:04Nice.
01:05I'm excited.
01:06There's definitely no distractions for the North Carolina football team.
01:08Nobody's ready to go.
01:09You saw they sold out their whole allotment of season tickets though, right?
01:12They should.
01:12So there you go.
01:13I mean, I guess you could make the argument it's going very well for Bill at North Carolina
01:16in some ways.
01:17I personally wouldn't make that argument, but I guess there's some material for you to do
01:21it.
01:21So again, Jordan Hudson has told at least one person she and Bill Belichick are engaged
01:26to be married.
01:27You brought this up off the air, Keith.
01:29Yeah.
01:29How are Steve and Brian and Amanda feeling?
01:32Probably not great.
01:33Can't imagine they love this.
01:34I mean, I'm sure they're already aware of it, but can't imagine they love this news.
01:37Now, I don't know if there's like a prenuptial agreement, but my one concern would be the
01:41person that would probably tell Bill that he should get one would be Jordan Hudson.
01:48I think she's the only one that's advising him at this point.
01:50So she might feel like, we don't really need this.
01:52It's true love.
01:52You don't love me?
01:53Like, we don't need a prenup.
01:54He's like, yeah, you're right.
01:55We don't need a prenup.
01:56No.
01:56What's yours is mine.
01:57What's mine is yours.
01:59I don't really know what you're bringing to the table other than your business acumen.
02:03But yeah, that is quite a story.
02:05I think there have been rumors about this and people were like wondering if it was going to
02:08go down this road.
02:09But he was with his previous girl, like Linda, for a really long time, right?
02:14And they never got engaged, to my knowledge.
02:16Maybe they did.
02:17I don't know.
02:17Not to my knowledge either.
02:18I don't know.
02:19I don't know.
02:20It was less soap opera-y back then.
02:22They've kicked it up into high gear now.
02:24Well, it's funny because our pal Jake will call us about this from time to time.
02:27Yeah.
02:28And I mean, I guess for Bill at the time, it seemed soap opera-y.
02:32And there were little stories that would flare up here and there about him and Linda and whether
02:36they're on a trip doing this or doing that or the Nike thing that gets brought up all
02:40the time, the dog at the draft.
02:41Oh, that's true.
02:42We'd see like photos of Barbados.
02:43I would say there was nothing, but just it was nothing like this.
02:47Yeah.
02:47And it was age appropriate for Bill and everything else.
02:49So there's more updates, too, in the New York Times thing talking about the whole Hard
02:53Knocks deal.
02:53Okay, so I was just going to get to this.
02:54Yeah, I thought it was okay.
02:55So this is from the New York Times story.
02:58This winter, producers at NFL Films decided a new season of its sports docuseries, Hard
03:03Knocks, would focus on Mr. Belichick's efforts to build the UNC football program ahead of
03:07the 2025 season.
03:08HBO agreed to air it.
03:10And by the way, Bill was just arguing about this on Ryan Clark's podcast, being like,
03:15oh, it was just kind of an idea that never really got off the ground.
03:18No, no, no.
03:18No, this was pretty well in development.
03:20Way, way along the way to getting it done, Bill had crafted a statement that was going
03:26to be in a press release, and HBO, as the New York Times reporting, agreed to air it.
03:30But days before they were set to announce the series, Ms. Hudson demanded she be granted
03:34content approval and partial ownership of the show.
03:37She was going to own the show?
03:39It was going to own Hard Knocks?
03:40According to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
03:45That is a tough word.
03:46It is.
03:46Because they were not authorized by producers to speak to a reporter.
03:49However, okay?
03:51So she wanted content approval and partial ownership of the show.
03:55Like Caleb Williams joining the job.
03:56I'm going to own the team.
03:57Like, you're not going to own the team.
03:58Yeah, her and Caleb Williams' father, Spider-Man meme.
04:02That's exactly what's going on with this.
04:04This is what we want.
04:05That is so bizarre, because when we first heard they were doing Hard Knocks, North Carolina,
04:09I'm like, that's pretty cool.
04:10And I even thought, you know, a lot of the changes, she's clearly in his ear.
04:15He's not on Instagram.
04:16He's not on Twitter, all these things, until he meets her.
04:20He's not in commercials until he meets her.
04:22He never would have wanted to do Hard Knocks.
04:24But he's doing Hard Knocks.
04:25I'm like, all right, this could be interesting.
04:27And then when he got yanked away, my first thought was, isn't this a NFL owners being
04:32like, we don't want to shine the spotlight on Bill?
04:34I put it more on Kraft, Arthur Blank, guys like that being like, no, no, no, we don't
04:38want to have this NFL show, sour grapes.
04:42That's initially what I thought, too.
04:43Turns out, no.
04:44Turns out Jordan wanted to run the whole operation down there.
04:47Turns out, the same lady who was trying to force her way into underdog commercials in
04:53a yellow polka dot bikini, she's like, I want partial ownership of the show.
04:57They're like, how about we give you an HBO Max free for a year?
05:00How's that for a trade-off?
05:01Same person shouting down CBS interviewers in what should have been a benign interview
05:07a Sunday morning on CBS.
05:09That same person got in the way of this.
05:11NFL Films pulled the plug.
05:13The producers later learned that Ms. Hudson was also in negotiations with another production
05:17company, Everwonder, I don't know anything about them, to make a similar series.
05:22Pit them against each other.
05:23Smart.
05:24That's according to a person familiar with the situation, Ian Orifice.
05:27What?
05:28The chief executive officer of Everwonder.
05:31That must have been a tough middle school.
05:33O-R-E-F-I-C-E.
05:36Yeah.
05:36Orifice?
05:37Yeah, Orifice.
05:39Is it a doctor?
05:40The chief executive of Everwonder.
05:42Chief O.
05:42No, C-O-O.
05:43Decline to comment.
05:45It's an important line to get in there.
05:46So she got in the way of hard knocks as well.
05:49I do wonder if it's all a make good for Bill.
05:51It's like, hey, Jordan, you're not going to be running PR anymore.
05:55You're not going to dress me for these interviews.
05:57You're not going to be running PR anymore.
05:59I'm going to need you to take a step back.
06:00And she flew off the handle.
06:02She, you promised me we were going to do this.
06:04You promised me we were going to do that.
06:05Now you're taking that away from me.
06:06How could you, Bill?
06:07And he goes, fine, I'm just going to propose.
06:11Like that, that would make sense to me.
06:13Also in the story, it mentions how Jordan's father is 49 years old.
06:19So just to put it in perspective, Bill Belichick was 49 years old when Jordan's dad was born.
06:28No.
06:29Yeah.
06:30He's 49 years older than.
06:33No, no, no, no.
06:34Yeah, no, that's not right.
06:35No, no, no.
06:35Never mind.
06:36But what was Bill doing at 49?
06:38Oh, no, no, no.
06:38Jordan was born.
06:40There you go.
06:40Sorry.
06:40Now we're talking.
06:41I screwed that up.
06:42The math doesn't matter.
06:43No, it doesn't.
06:44You're right.
06:44My bad.
06:44My bad.
06:45Take it back.
06:45Dump that.
06:46Dump that, Nick.
06:46I can't have anybody hearing that.
06:47I was like, wait a minute.
06:48No, no, no.
06:49But so he was, so Bill was out of college when Jordan's dad was born.
06:54Oh, yeah, for sure.
06:55He might have had a job in the NFL.
06:56That's a good way of putting it.
06:57He might have been driving in the NFL.
06:58He might have been driving around Ted Marchabrota with the Baltimore Colts as he likes to talk about.
07:02It's true because they've said Belichick's had 50 plus years in the NFL and this dude's not even 50.
07:06So there you go.
07:06That's what I meant to say.
07:07That was, yeah.
07:08And I did say it perfectly the first time.
07:10You guys all heard it here first.
07:11Going the way back.
07:12Yeah.
07:13He was probably driving around Ted Marchabrota in the NFL before Jordan's dad was even born.
07:19Correct.
07:20There you go.
07:20Yep.
07:21Landed it.
07:22617-779-7937.
07:26You also mentioned this before, Keefe.
07:28Yeah.
07:28I mean, the people doubting Pablo Torre?
07:30Yeah, no, I think he's coming out all right.
07:31I would imagine Pablo Torre coming out pretty strong with this.
07:34Yeah, I would think so.
07:35But there were some saying, oh, well, see, she's a UNC.
07:38She's allowed at the facility.
07:40They haven't barred her from the facility.
07:42Everything he reported is nonsense.
07:44I would not feel that way.
07:46And I would be a little afraid if I were Bill and Jordan and others.
07:52I'd be a little afraid of what else Pablo Torre has up his sleeve.
07:56Yeah, I just, I wonder what Bill's kids, like we were saying, his daughter-in-laws, have
08:01like kind of spoken out.
08:02Remember there was a little Instagram flare-ups here and there.
08:05Yeah, like that's not how a PR person would operate, that kind of thing.
08:09So I would imagine that gets kicked up a notch in the coming days.
08:13One would think.
