Dax Shepard Explained The Super Awkward Conversation He Had With His 10-Year-Old Daughter About Sabrina Carpenter's Super Raunchy Song 'Juno'
It looks like Sabrina Carpenter 's Short N' Sweet album has been raising some awkward conversations between parents and kids — even in celebrity households.
In case you've missed it, Sabrina 's currently on the Europe leg of her tour, and her performances (along with her immaculate outfits) are going mega-viral. Not the least of which is one feature of her shows that changes every night — the famous 'Juno' pose.
For reference, the song 'Juno' features a moment in live performances when Sabrina acts out a sex position while singing, 'Have you ever tried this one?' While each pose on the tour has been pretty risqué, her recent few have definitely raised some eyebrows. Fans have spotted that Sabrina seems to be making references to cities she performs in, with a London Bridge pose in the UK and the recent Paris pose making a naughty reference to the Eiffel Tower.
While Sabrina has definitely faced lots of backlash from scandalized parents who deem her performances 'inappropriate' for a young audience, she also receives huge support online for her unapologetic nature when it comes to embracing her sexuality. Despite it all, there is still a huge debate online as to where the fault lies when parents criticize her provocative lyrics and dances — with many folks suggesting that it's up to the parents to police what their kids engage with.
Now, in a recent episode of The Armchair Expert podcast, Dax Shepard, his co-host Monica Padman, and guest Andrew Schulz chatted about his and his daughter's shared love of Sabrina — revealing that they wound up having a pretty awkward conversation when she asked about 'Juno.'
Talking about how he recently has become a Sabrina super fan, Dax shared that his favorite song of hers is 'Bed Chem,' and that he and his 10-year-old daughter, Delta, 'listen to it every morning' on the way to school.
'It's really fun now that I love her favorite artist. It's fun for her. Because now I'm on the Sabrina train,' Dax explained. Monica pointed out that Sabrina 'gets sexy,' saying that 'there's some real sexual stuff' in her music. 'Juno is sexual,' she added after Dax shared that Delta recommended the song to him.
Dax then recalled that he and Delta were, in fact, having a conversation about the meaning of 'Juno' recently. As the two were discussing the song, Delta apparently asked Dax if he knew what 'Juno' was, to which he hesitantly responded, 'No.'
Searchlight Pictures / Fox
For context, Sabrina's 'Juno' is in reference to the 2007 film of the same name starring Elliot Page and Michael Cera. The movie centers around a 16-year-old named Juno MacGuff dealing with an unexpected pregnancy, and Sabrina's lyrics 'If you love me right then who knows? / I might let you make me Juno,' are pretty clear in their implication. While there was speculation that 'Juno' also referred to the Roman goddess Juno, patron of marriage and childbirth, Sabrina confirmed in an interview with Spotify that she was only making reference to the movie.
Delta explained, 'Well, it's a movie,' to which Dax responded, 'Oh, the movie Juno? Yeah, I know.' Delta then confirmed that the movie is about a 'girl who gets pregnant,' before Dax said, 'Ooh, that's a little nasty.'
Delta apparently then asked, 'What's nasty about wanting to have a baby with somebody?' to which Dax had to explain that Juno was still in high school, which made the story a little 'racy' in their eyes. Recalling the conversation, Dax remembered: 'And the way she phrased it was like, 'Wait, what's nasty about wanting to have a baby with someone you love?' And I was like, 'Oh no, there's nothing nasty about that, I'm just saying, 'I wanna get pregnant in high school' is kind of a nasty, fun lyric. It's a positive nasty, I'm saying.''
Dax has shared that he and his wife, Kristen Bell, are pretty open with their kids when it comes to speaking about sex. The couple previously made headlines when opening up about their approach to discussing more mature topics with their daughters.
In a 2023 issue of Real Simple, Kristen shared that there are no 'taboo' topics in their household. 'I hate the word 'taboo.' I think it should be stricken from the dictionary. There should be no topic that's off the table for people to talk about,' she said. 'I know it's shocking, but I talk to my kids about drugs, and the fact that their daddy is an addict and he's in recovery. And we talk about sex.'

Michael Cera Claims Tom Cruise Publicly Called Him Out for Talking on Set ‘40 Feet Away' From Him
Michael Cera admitted he was once playfully told off by Tom Cruise during a Tuesday, June 24, installment of the Louis Theroux Podcast. Surprisingly, the Arrested Development alum, 37, initially forgot they'd even collaborated together. 'I haven't worked with Tom Cruise,' he said, before correcting himself to add, 'Oh, yes. I have. Crazy thing to forget.' Cera revealed that he was called out by the Top Gun actor, 62, while talking with a writer on set during the filming of a 2010 MTV Movie Awards clip. 'We were just kind of mumbling while they were shooting, but they could hear us,' he explained. 'It was just, like, 40 feet away.' According to Cera, Cruise suddenly said, 'Is that Michael Cera talking during a f**king take?'' Later, the American Made actor made a similar quip to him, but quickly told him that he was just 'kidding.' Despite calling Cruise 'very friendly' otherwise, Cera said it was still obvious the Hollywood legend had been asking him to 'shut up' at the time. Cera went on to describe Cruise as 'such a leader' throughout filming. 'I was there for, like, five minutes,' the Juno star recalled. 'But what I observed was, he was like the first [assistant director] on the set.' This isn't the first time that colleagues have recalled Cruise's intense leadership style. After audio was leaked of Cruise yelling at crew members for allegedly breaking COVID-19 pandemic rules on the set of Mission: Impossible 7, an industry insider told People that the actor 'is a perfectionist' and that he 'wants others to follow suit.' 'Tom's whole life is his work,' the insider continued. 'When he sees something less than professional, he wants to make it right.' New Girl alum Jake Johnson also once told a story about when the Cruise asked him to join him for a workout at his personal gym while preparing to film 2017's The Mummy together. As Johnson arrived, he was turned away by a member of production who told him not to bother Cruise. 'Let me make something crystal clear: I don't care what anybody on the crew says to you, they don't know what I'm saying to you,' Johnson remembered Cruise telling him at the time, according to Vulture. 'And I'm saying to you that you are always welcome. I don't care what I'm doing in there. You're not other. You're my castmate. Come in.'

Inside The Week That Split The Creator Economy In Two
CANNES, FRANCE - JUNE 17: Atmosphere at Spotify Beach during Cannes Lions 2025 on June 17, 2025 in ... More Cannes, France. (Photo byfor Spotify) Last week, the creator economy faced a pivotal moment, not because of a new algorithm, platform or monetization model, but because of a calendar clash. Cannes Lions and VidCon, now under the same parent company, unfolded during the same week for the second time in three years. And while they were meant to celebrate creativity in all forms, what they revealed instead was a growing split in the industry itself. As creators increasingly move from the margins to the center of brand strategy, this week underscored a truth that marketers and media can no longer ignore: creators are no longer the next big thing - they are the thing. A Split Screen for the Creator Economy Cannes Lions has long been the playground of legacy brands, creative agencies and media powerhouses. This year, it leaned further into its identity as the pinnacle of polished, brand-driven storytelling. VidCon, on the other hand, remained a grassroots, creator-first gathering defined by high energy, direct fan engagement and chaotic innovation. While both events celebrated creators, the paths they charted for the future of influence diverged significantly. Who Went Where and Why The overlapping schedule highlighted a strategic fork in the road. Creators and companies had to choose: high-concept panels and yacht-side brainstorms at Cannes, or poolside networking and creator-led activations at VidCon. Only a select few managed to brave the jet lag and bridge both worlds. For creators whose brand partnerships, agency ties, or corporate sponsors aligned more with global campaigns and marketing strategy, Cannes was the natural fit. These individuals were drawn by the opportunity to sit alongside CMOs, speak on main stages and get facetime with the biggest names in advertising and tech. Creators making waves on connected TV or pioneering AI integrations had a strong presence here. Meanwhile, creators focused on building community, testing new monetization tools, and cultivating their audience relationships were more likely to choose VidCon. The Anaheim event provided a space for emerging and mid-tier creators to engage deeply with fans, discover new tech platforms and make IRL connections that rarely happen online. VidCon also served as a proving ground for innovation at the grassroots level. This divide not only exposed the contrasting nature of the two events but also underscored the broader segmentation within the creator economy itself: scale vs. intimacy, polish vs. presence, spectacle vs. spontaneity. VidCon Demonstrated The Chaos of Creativity VidCon 2025 saw a shift in tone under new leadership. Gone was the Creator Hotel, and in its place, creators spilled across Anaheim's Marriott and surrounding venues. The unstructured setting led to organic conversations, spontaneous collaborations and authentic relationship building. One standout was Viewws' Dink + Smash pickleball activation, which perfectly captured the event's ethos: creator-first, participatory and wildly engaging. Among the creators making waves were Dhar Mann and VidCon co-founder Hank Green, both of whom exemplified the event's commitment to accessible, grassroots creativity. Creators engaged with fans, brands and each other on a human level. Yet, despite these strengths, there were murmurs that VidCon's influence may be waning in some circles, with fewer brand booths and less corporate luster. Cannes Was The Theatre of Brand Power Meanwhile, Cannes Lions delivered its usual spectacle. From AI-driven installations to glittering panels on future creativity, it was a showcase of brand investment and storytelling prowess. What stood out in 2025 was the increasing role of creators as core participants. Notable figures like Amelia Dimoldenberg, Steven Bartlett and Grace Beverly brought sharp cultural insight and strategic depth to panels and conversations, cementing their roles as vital players in brand storytelling. YouTube's 20th anniversary celebration exemplified this shift, with creators headlining discussions on format innovation, fandom culture and AI-powered content. AI was the buzzword of the week, but the most resonant message was about synergy: human creativity amplified by technology. Panels underscored that brands succeeding today are those embracing authenticity and building trust through creator-led narratives. Two Sides of the Same Coin Despite the differences, both events showcased the critical role creators now play. VidCon focused on the day-to-day realities of creators: monetization, burnout and business strategy. Cannes emphasized creators as cultural architects, capable of steering brand identity and global conversation. VidCon offered lessons in community and hustle; Cannes in vision and scale. Together, they painted a picture of an economy maturing into two distinct but complementary modes: one rooted in connection, the other in prestige. What This Means for the Industry Across both Cannes and VidCon, creators shaped the themes, challenged norms and drove engagement in ways no other stakeholder group could match. Their influence is no longer limited to follower counts or short-form content; they are shaping business models, cultural narratives and future media formats. The rise of creators as thought leaders, collaborators and innovators means that future industry conversations, whether they take place on yachts or in convention halls, will be incomplete without them.

Bluesfest adds Kardinal Offishall to July 17 bill
Ottawa Bluesfest organizers have added Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall to the program of this year's festival, which runs July 10-20 at LeBreton Flats Park. The Jamaican-Canadian artist known as Canada's hip-hop ambassador will fill the July 17 main-stage slot vacated by American rapper G-Eazy, who pulled out recently because of scheduling conflicts.

He's since won multiple Junos, become a judge on Canada's Got Talent and is still going strong. A new track called Let Em Out came out last month, the first single from his long-awaited upcoming EP, Everyday, Sometimes. The night of July 17 is shaping up to be an epic summer party on the RBC Stage, with Kardi's lyrical hip hop kicking things off for dancehall superstar Sean Paul, who also has Jamaican roots, plus a warm-up set by the groove-friendly local duo Dystoh, a new act made up of two members of the legendary Ottawa band, Souljazz Orchestra.
