RFK Jr explains why he wears jeans during workout and the internet can't agree
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has finally spilled the beans on why he's been rocking jeans during workouts, and honestly, the more he talks, the stranger it gets. So, picture this: Bobby K gets called out for wearing denim to the gym and hiking in scorching Arizona heat. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Naturally, everyone's baffled. In a Fox News chat on Jesse Watters Primetime, he tries to clear things up with what seems like a perfectly normal explanation… sort of. 'Well, I just started doing that a long time ago because I would go hiking in the morning and then I'd go straight to the gym, and I found it was convenient, and now I'm used to it, so I just do it,' he told Watters. People immediately hit X (you know, Twitter's new identity) with reactions. Anthony LaMesa posted on X, "Secretary Kennedy says he works out in jeans because, after hiking, he would go straight to the gym — and now it's just a habit. Isn't it a bit unhygienic to wear jeans, especially those you've worn while hiking, in a gym?" "I always hike in jeans. Work out? It depends. Treadmill, cycling, or rowing in jeans is a no go for me, at least for any distance. But as a kid a never wore shorts unless PE made me, so, I guess I trained for this as a kid," writes Rice. "Jeans in the gym are like dissent in politics—unconventional, sometimes impractical, but they force everyone to ask why. And that's the point: authenticity makes people curious. Whether in denim or debate, substance outlasts style," writes Cody Christmas. So yeah, there you have it. Kennedy—who's 71, by the way—was pictured last month at Camelback Mountain in Arizona, sweating it out in a t-shirt and jeans. Then just this week he went viral again with the 'Pete and Bobby Challenge,' working out next to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth—doing pull-ups and push-ups while stuck in denim and a belt. Splashy, no doubt, but jeans? While he thinks it's just practical and normal, the internet is firmly divided. Some brush it off as quirky preference or rural sensibility; others say it's bizarre, cheap, and frankly uncomfortable. Is it lazy? Is it just rugged practicality? People are still trying to wrap their heads around it. In short, RFK Jr. 'coming clean' has only stirred more confusion—and plenty of side-eye. Denim at the gym? Jeans on a hike? To some, it's genius minimalism. To others, it's a hygiene hazard. Takeaway? If you ever want to stir up internet speculation, just swap your leggings or shorts for jeans next time you hit the gym—or head up a mountain. You'll become headline material, too.

Taylor Swift's fans are excited about all the sourdough Easter eggs

Next year's Super Bowl 60 will take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, home to the San Francisco 49ers. Their mascot? None other than Sourdough Sam, a miner character who also happens to share a name with Swift's latest obsession. 'I now talk about sourdough 60% of the time,' Swift joked on the podcast. The number instantly sent her followers into a frenzy Super Bowl 60, sourdough at Levi's Stadium, and now Swift's playful comment about '60%.' To Swifties, it was all but confirmation that their favorite superstar is already warming up to take the stage in February 2026. So if Swifties' theory proves true, the Grammy Award winner would be the first halftime show headliner outside the worlds of R&B and hip-hop since 2020, when Shakira and Jennifer Lopez performed together.
