Mr. Jukebox, could you play something?

😄 Some things (behaviors, actions, traits) don't change. There may be a long lapse in time in between or maybe even a brief reprieve. But eventually? Here it comes again. #Same old thing.
Lately, Narnia has been seeing alot of the #SameOldThing.
* What at first looks like it could be an organic social media moment ...
but nope! Just another ploy to shoehorn in the bearding because it was allegedly "her" chair and that's the first thing Travis Kelce mentions, along with the ol' Easy Bake Oven sourdough slip-in. When you know, you know. #orchestrated #SameOldThing
* When this red carpet waltz was witnessed Thursday, Feb 5, for the NFL Honors, Narnia's minds were blown, but then it filled in so many blank puzzle pieces.
This is Kay Adams, formerly of Good Morning Football on NFL network (back when it was entertaining), and now hostess of the podcast, "Up and Adams". She's had her share of exclusive moments and high profile guests on the show. And who's walking alongside Adams? Well, that's Jacquelyn Dahl, Patrick Mahomes' marketer, whom Narnia has written about before, particularly in featured depth in our post "Winter/Spring Musings: Same as it Never Was - NFL Marketing in the Midwest, part 5A of 5", from April 13, 2020.
Kay began auditioning for her podcast along with its many high profile guests by showing that she would help play along with narratives, in January of 2022, when her playoff "game ball" went to Donna Kelce. The stated reason given for the publicized gesture was for Donna Kelce having attended both Jason and Travis' games on the same day. It was an elaborate, highly chronicled day for Donna Kelce, which seemed geared more for promoting Mrs. Kelce on commercial flights instead of opting for a much easier ride on Airshare, the private jet company which partners with Patrick Mahomes (and which Travis surely has ridden on plenty of times?? 👀)
Instead, the hectic day of public flights and transfers provided the opportunity to stage an elaborate social media play-by-play to chronicle how Donna Kelce was able to "logistically" attend both games. Coincidentally, captured by plenty of OTT media coverage to dramatize the carefully planned event.
The result was more manufactured headlines, instead of simply choosing to fly in one of her son's BF's company jets. The image of being one of the common folk was achieved, along with the elevation of the Kelce family name prior to the Shifty/Travis stunt which would follow that next year. 😏
More smoke and mirrors. And more playing along (by Kay Adams) in order to move upward and onward in the business (the reward). #SameOldThing
* If it's time for Jake Gyllenhaal to allegedly be working on a film, then it's time for ...
• Blurry or odd looking photos, GPS-placement of Jake wherever he really isn't 😄
• "Fan" photos involving Jake holding or entertaining a baby/toddler
• And then Austin will also begin posting on Instagram, usually placing himself in Austin, TX, far away from wherever Jake is
In this case, Jake was filming in Georgia for Roadhouse 2. Look at that guy. He's something else. 😊 He looked pretty darn good, that scamp! 😉
And then his better half Austin? He was busy posting a plethora of behind-the-scenes photos and Insta vids from his photoshoot and mag cover for Austin Lifestyle! That guy. Back in Austin, TX while HIS better half was in Georgia and then later, New York City.
Austy looking bettah than evah.
But alas! Got a project to promote? Then you can count on seeing Jake way over there.... and Austin way over here ... #SameOldThing
* And by the way, speaking of both these men Jake and Austin, Jake's publicist Mara Buxbaum is still trying to bury Austin as Jake's hubs on DataLounge threads since the beginning of time, this one coming in a recent James Van Der Beek post, allegedly by an "Anonymous":
"Jakey G's ex" - smh. Mara's social media team has a stubborn streak, you've got to give them that, we reckon. 😣 Count on it - always trying to bury Austin or put him in the rear view mirror.
Right up there with Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. #SameOldThing
* Well, it's NFL's off season and even though no one was really wondering what Patrick Mahomes was doing besides rehabbing his "injured"??? knee, TPTB felt it necessary to bring out the long-time-no-see meard, Gehrig Dieter. Imagine that, bringing Dieter out of mothballs like this. In this case, it was a 2-for-1! Need to make sure no one thinks Patrick and Travis are hanging out together, heaven forbid! Let's bring in TWO meards.
Hey "Chase Snyder" makes a valid point. Dieter is to Patrick what "Ross Travis" is to Travis.
They're both meards, Chase! #DoubleDuh 😉
A roll-out of Dieter? Another unnecessary mention of "Ross Travis"? Public separation? #SameOldThing
Complimentary editorial: Over the years, Narnia's faves or (guests of Narnia) have developed almost as long of a list of meards as beards.
They've become quite the thing: Gehrig Dieter, Ross Travis, Tyler Posey, NJ Devil hockey player Timo Meier, Misha Collins, trainer Brad Gould, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Blake Shelton, Tom Holland, Xander Ritz, Paul Dano, Nick Payne, Denis Villenueve, Nick Grimshaw, Anson Gordon, Tom Sturridge, and fictional "Emergency!" character, "Chet Kelly".
Maybe someday Narnia can write up a "Match the Meard to the Meard-ee" puzzle game and offer prizes. 😉
* And another day, another One Direction band member asked to talk about their publicly fallen band mate, Liam Payne. Time after time, pounded nail after pounded nail.
Typically, when the average person loses a sibling, parent, or close friend ...there is a grieving period and a first year anniversary. But people don't keep asking a person to relive the loss and continue to talk in depth about it. Again and again. Right? They don't. Usually there's a refrain from further inquiring which comes from sensitivity for something private and painful.
Don't. You. Have. To. Wonder.
Let's see. What is it that Narnia has learned about these time after time, pounded nail after pounded nail topics ... hmmm.... 🤔
THINK.
This time, it was Harry Styles. Hey, he hadn't been asked yet. So someone new to tap, tap, tap that nail. Let's work the fans up once more. Let's have a family member observe another anniversary. No doubt, there'll likely be time before contracts' end, Sony and Cowell will arrange a few more go-arounds. After all, we still have that planned Netflix "documentary" with Zayn and Louis for more "on the record" details. You know, just to keep pounding that nail. Isn't that why the beard Cassidy has been kept around? To keep pounding that nail? #SameOldThing
* Oh, and speaking of pounded nails. We hadn't seen "Leawood KS" mentioned lately. For whatever reason, TPTB wanted to remind everyone that hey, remember? Travis "lives in Leawood, KS".
"Leawood Man to Stay with Kansas City Chiefs, report says" - via the local Johnson County Post. Not "Travis Kelce". But, "Leawood Man". That Instagram headline was not the Johnson County Post's idea. No, it came from someone who needed to push that narrative and remind everyone that Travis "lives" in Leawood.
Remember, Narnia wrote about the "Leawood, KS residence" spin in the March 9, 2024 post, "Pothole Patch-Ups: Rewriting the Narratives of Travis Kelce" and as stated previously, we haven't seen a whole lot about 'Leawood' for awhile. Maybe what with the possibility (or not) of "nuptials" approaching, TPTB thought it wouldn't hurt to slip in a reminder. 😴 More spinning, more deception. Same false narrative. #SameOldThing
I don't know about anyone else, but I think Johnny Gage is tired of saying "Same old thing!" LOL! That screen cap is from Emergency! season 6, episode 9 and titled "Computer Terror".
There are a few more #SameOldThing 's that didn't make this cut, but hopefully they'll make the next post. This one has been in the hopper for too long.
Happy weekend, everyone!
