The Kelces’ $100M podcast deal

NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce signed a $100 million podcast deal with Amazon. The WSJ says their “New Heights” show is a hit: the show's viewership jumped after Travis started dating Taylor Swift.

Read Amazon's announcement of the deal here. Wondery+ members will be able to listen to the “New Heights” podcast early and ad-free.

Outkick was shocked at the $$$: The Kelce's 3-year podcast deal nets the brothers more money annually than their NFL careers ever did.

Sports Illustrated was also amazed: Who's going to want to play football in the NFL when podcasting pays so well?

Mini mullet mania

The mini mullet is a trendy haircut with short sides and a longer back. Vogue says even attractive men like Harry Styles and Paul Mescal can't save it -- and worse, they're inspiring average looking men to try it.

New York Post disagrees: Gen Z guys are crazy about the mini mullet. It's got a 70's/80's rockstar vibe.

Man for Himself says it matters how you do it -- Zane Phillips' wavy mini mullet with a side part is a great modern twist.

The Guardian: It's also really popular in the queer community -- but yeah, it's pretty divisive. Can't please everybody!
