Kim & OBJ Are Over, Serial Puncher Roaming NYC, TV Host Cool With Being Fat & Ready For Alpha Male Boot Camp?
Can you believe it's already the last week of March?
It really feels like yesterday I was sitting in my father-in-law's living room and watching Anderson Cooper get live-TV drunk on New Year's Eve. Now here we are, a quarter of the way through 2024!
Also around the time I watched the ball drop, I saw a video where a woman explained how millionaires don't make New Year's Resolutions. They don't even set yearly goals, she said. Instead, they set quarterly goals. The idea is that these smaller, more achievable milestones keep you focused and motivated and ultimately allow you to accomplish more in the long run.
I'll buy that. So — whiskey glass in one hand and Sharpie pen in the other — a highly motivated me wrote down everything I wanted to achieve by March 31.
I'm now proud to say I have accomplished exactly none of those things.
Oh well, there's always next quarter. And at least my basketball team is in the Sweet 16.
But man, am I going to be pissed if I stay up until midnight on Friday just to watch the Tennessee Vols disappoint me, too.
Let's not think about that. Pour yourself a tasty beverage, and let's raise a toast to being better people by (checking calendar) …June 30! We got this, y'all. It's Nightcaps time!
Kim Kardashian & Odell Beckham Jr. Are Done
I know, I know. We're all devastated over this.
After just six-ish months of dating, the hottest power couple since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has called it quits.
The breakup comes just days after an "insider" (whatever that means) leaked to Life & Style that Kim wanted to make a baby with OBJ.
"He has such great genetics, and she can’t help imagining how beautiful their baby would be," the insider said.
You hear that Pete Davidson? She had no interest in your ugly genes.
The insider even went so far as to say: "She’d love to get this in motion because she wants to beat Bianca and Kanye to the punch!"
Making a baby (and I say "making," not "having" — because 43-year-old Kim will go the surrogacy route) just to beat your ex-husband and his wife to the punch is probably not the best reason to bring a whole human child into the world. But what do I know?
Apparently OBJ was weirded out by it, too. Because he's reportedly the one who called it off.
If that's true, what a boss move by Odell: cutting ties with your billionaire girlfriend because she's trying to use your sperm as a pawn in her weird family circus.
And fresh off the breakup with OBJ, Kim continues her obsession with Kanye's life. Yesterday, the SKIMS founder posted a picture of herself topless in sheer tights and an oversize fur coat — seemingly trolling Bianca Censori.
Yikes. It's time to move on, sis.
On the other hand, if you're a good-looking Black man looking to hit the lottery, now is the time to strike. Those frozen eggs are dying to be hatched.
Things Are Going Well In New York City
We all know that crime is exploding in NYC as illegal immigrants flood into the city, and no-cash-bail releases criminals back onto the streets without so much as a slap on the wrist.
Well now, according to numerous women on TikTok, someone is roaming around the Big Apple just punching random people in the face.
Another woman said she was punched while she was looking down at her phone, and she warned others to keep their heads on a swivel when they're out walking alone in the city.
While I'm certainly not here to victim blame, I would hope it's common knowledge that you should be aware of your surroundings while out in public.
This next girl is entirely too nonchalant about the whole thing.
And finally, this story is a little bit different. But still a blatant and unprovoked assault in broad daylight.
Not to get too serious here on Nightcaps, but a close family member of mine was also attacked (last year) in NYC. We'll call her Kathy.
Kathy was sitting in a café when a woman approached and asked her for money. Kathy said, "I'm sorry, I don't have any cash." After a brief back-and-forth where the woman continued to demand money, the woman dumped a full glass of water on Kathy's head. Kathy threw a plastic cup back at her.
The woman (who was roughly 30 years younger than Kathy) then pushed her to the ground, got on top of her and punched Kathy in the face several times. A man finally pulled the woman off of Kathy, dragged her out of the café, and they both hopped into a car and sped off.
Police arrived later and essentially said there was nothing they could do about it.
But, hey, at least they can entertain us with a little dancey dance!
Look, I know this sort of attack could happen anywhere. But it seems to be a regular, everyday occurrence in New York.
I live in a 2A-friendly state, which gives me peace of mind when I'm out and about by myself. But for the gun-free NYC ladies, I'm begging you: Get you a TASER or (at the very least) some pepper spray. Because if police do catch the demons who are out randomly assaulting women, they're just going to let them right back out on the street.
OK, end of serious time. Let's see how things are going on British TV.
Fat Doesn't Care About Your Feelings!
That's the message of '90s fitness guru Mr. Motivator, who said he thinks people now take criticism of their weight "too personally" despite levels of diabetes and obesity going "through the roof."
And so the crew of ITV's This Morning discussed: "Have we gone a bit too soft?" (No pun intended, of course.)
That's when host Nick Ferrari launched into an epic tirade about the reality of obesity.
"I'm fat! Of course I am — there's no point denying it," Ferrari said. "It's not because I was abused as a child, or I have gene problems or whatever it might be. I don't exercise enough, and I enjoy red wine, so I am fat. I am overweight. I don't care! And I accept that is my issue.
"Having said that, I probably should go down to the gym, but I don't get upset if anyone calls me that."
Side note: If you could pick ONE food or drink and make it have ZERO calories and no negative health effects for the rest of your life, what would it be? That means you could eat or drink it as much as you choose, and it wouldn't hurt you in any way.
My answer is, hands down, wine. From my years of competitive bodybuilding, I am a highly disciplined eater. Sure, I love pasta and burgers and all of those delicious things, but I have no problem eating those sparingly and in moderation.
A good Malbec or Cabernet, on the other hand, is my weakness. So when Ferrari said red wine is the reason he's fat, I LOL'd.
Curious to hear your answer, though. Email me at Amber.Harding@outkick.com.
Anyway, Ferrari's co-hosts and viewers weren't so thrilled with his idea that a person is responsible for his or her own weight.
Host Anushka Asthana was quick to point out that "it's not always someone's fault that they are fat" — something that Nick again disagreed with, arguing: "Of course it is! I should run up and down a hill!"
OK, obviously there are certain medical conditions that may cause a person to gain weight or have trouble losing weight. But according to the National Institutes of Health, around 42.4% of American adults are obese, while another 30.7% are overweight. And most people got that way by sitting still and eating garbage — plain and simple.
So that's not to say you should pull a Mr. Motivator and go around telling everyone they're fat. But man, if we all just had the self-awareness of Nick Ferrari, the world would be so much less soft.
Maybe not physically. But definitely mentally.
Would You Pay For An Alpha Male Boot Camp?
If you are feeling a little soft lately, boy do I have a deal for you: Alpha Male Boot Camp!
Some guys are paying $18,000 for a "75-hour personal growth experience" that claims to help "men who want to live a life filled with fulfillment, purpose, financial freedom, and have a deep loving relationship with their family."
It's like someone took a Twitter thread from one of those redpill man-fluencers and turned it into a three-day camp.
It's called The Modern Day Knight Project, and apparently you go there to get screamed at, belittled and sprayed down with a water hose.
I had no idea dudes were willing to spend thousands of dollars on that, but I now have a brilliant idea for a side hustle.
Let's check in with one of the instructors.
That might have been even more F-bombs than I counted in The Wolf of Wall Street.
But this ultra-mega male experience isn't just for anyone. You have to be super serious!
"The Modern Day Knight Project is only for Entrepreneurs, Executives & Leaders who are ready for a serious BREAKTHROUGH," the website reads.
"This exclusive experience ISN’T for anyone who’s just starting their self development journey. This in-depth experience is for men who are seriously ready and tired of making excuses."
The next session takes place October 15-18 in Chino Hills, Calif. But there are only 15 spots left, so hurry up and reserve your spot!
Or you could just, like …go to therapy.
