‘You’ll be caught’: 19 years ago, Conan O’Brien predicted Danny Masterson going to prison

Danny Masterson, best known for playing Steven Hyde on “That ‘70s Show” from 1998 to 2006, was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Thursday, September 7, for raping two women during the height of his fame. Throughout the trial, prosecutors argued that the Church of Scientology helped cover up the assaults—an allegation the organization denied.

After Masterson’s sentencing, footage of an uncomfortable 2004 exchange with former late-night host Conan O’Brien went viral on X, formerly Twitter. During the exchange, O’Brien tells Masterson that he will pay for his behavior one day.


The eerie prediction came after Masterson used a strange example to show that his Long Island accent hadn’t disappeared. He noted that his friend, Bodhi Elfman, “always teases me, and he says, ‘Hi, my name is Danny Masterson, would you like to touch my balls?’” saying the last word with a New York accent.

Masterson’s reply didn’t help his case.

“I mean, you got ’em, you know what I mean? Everybody should grab,” he says.

O’Brien looks slightly perturbed by Masterson’s example, pauses, and in a serious tone, says, “I’ve heard about you. And you’ll be caught soon. I know you will.”

“I will,” Masterson replies.

​It’s unclear watching the exchange whether O’Brien knew of Masterson’s behavior, but interestingly, he pauses to show that he’s not joking before he tells Masterson that he will get caught. Watching the clip in 2023, it’s either an example of an incredible coincidence or the fact that even though television is a big industry, when someone is a predator, word gets around.

Chvrches Unveiled ‘Talking In My Sleep’ From The Upcoming Anniversary Edition Of Their Debut Album

A few weeks ago, Chvrches announced that they would be honoring the tenth anniversary of their 2013 debut album, The Bones Of What You Believe, with a special anniversary version. After sharing the previously-unreleased “Manhattan,” the band has returned to give fans another preview with “Talking In My Sleep.”

This song finds Iain Cook taking on vocals instead of the band’s regular lead singer Lauren Mayberry, according to Under The Radar. Overall, the track relies on robotic synths that it feel dark and moody — which is fitting, as they pulled inspiration from ’80s groups like Depeche Mode and other pop music of that era.

“There’s a reason why / You couldn’t share this hour of make believe / But I could come around / Stay a million days and never leave,” he sings.

“It feels quite strange that Bones is almost a decade old,” Mayberry previously shared in a statement. “In some ways, it’s like it just happened, but also like that era was a lifetime ago. We are very grateful to all the fans who gave that album a special place in their heart, and still show us so much kindness today.”

Listen to the new Chvrches song “Talking In My Sleep” above. View the rest of the complete anniversary tracklist here.

The Bones Of What You Believe (10th Anniversary Edition) is out 10/13 via Glassnote. Find more information here.

The 10 Sneaker Silhouettes You Need On Your Radar Right Now (And How To Style Them)

A fire pair of sneakers is an essential component of a great fit. But with so many different sneaker silhouettes and brands out there, and fashion always in flux, it can be tough to figure out which shoes are going to give you an edge and make an impression.

Don’t worry, we got you! As part of the Uproxx Style Hot List, we’re going to be naming the 10 sneaker designs you need on your radar right now. These sneaker silhouettes are modern streetwear’s finest — the shoes that are fetching high prices on the aftermarket, selling out fast on drop dates, and just generally looking great with today’s style trends.

For this list, we’ll be paying special focus to silhouettes and designs, rather than specific colorways or collaborations. We’re also going to be focusing on shoes that aren’t the more obvious timeless silhouettes — meaning no Jordan 1, 4, Adidas Stan Smith, Adidas All Stars, Converse All Stars, Reebok Club C, Nike Air Maxes, Nike SB Dunks, or Nike Air Force 1s.

Those sneakers are all classics, they’re still popular and look great with today’s trends, but we’re going to assume you already know that and you’re looking for something that’ll set you apart from the normies. Sound fly? Let’s dive in!

Nike — Zoom Vomero 5

STyle Hot List
Nike

Thoughts And How To Style

Make no mistake, Nike may not have a large presence on this list, but that’s due to the fact that most of the brand’s sneaker silhouettes enjoy evergreen status — so if you’re looking for something that will set you apart from the crowd you’re going to want to pick up a pair of Zoom Vomero 5s.

The sneaker made its debut in 2011 and was designed as a functional long-distance running sneaker. The build generally features lightweight mesh with leather overlays and reflective details for enhanced visibility.

The sneakers will look great paired with baggy pants or any other wide-legged jeans.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66

STyle Hot List
Onitsuka

Thoughts And How To Style

Yes, these are the same sneakers that Kill Bill’s The Bride rocked with a matching jumpsuit. And in 2023, they’re back! This classic unisex ‘60s era trainer features a lightweight leather build and works with so many different types of outfits it’s ridiculous.

Straight leg pants, check, long dresses, check, smart slacks, check, cargo pants, check, shorts — you get the point right? The Mexico 66 looks great with everything, which is why it’s beloved by everyone from celebrities to that cool kid in your neighborhood who always seems to be a step ahead of everyone else style-wise.

If you’re feeling a bit tired of other classic trainers like Adidas Sambas, the Onitsuka Tiger should be at the top of your list.

New Balance 1906R

STyle Hot List
New Balance

Thoughts And How To Style

This year New Balance has been paying special attention to the 1906R, giving us a lot of new colorways and linking up with some cool brands for collaborations on this throwback 2000s runner.

Generally, the sneaker sports a synthetic or breathable mesh upper with NB’s ABZROB midsole for a comfortable ride and enhanced stability.

The 1906R is going to look great with whatever you pair it with, but we’re going to go ahead and suggest going full Gorpcore on this one and dress them with cargo pants or anything Gore-Tex equipped.

Adidas Samba

STyle Hot List
Adidas

Thoughts And How To Style

A bit more premium and luxurious than the very similar Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, the Adidas Samba has exploded in popularity over the last couple of years. Things have been tough for Adidas ever since the brand dropped Yeezy, none of its modern silhouettes seem to hit which is why people are reaching deep into the brand’s archives and showing love to its more timeless sporty silhouettes.

The Samba features a lovely suede build (or leather if you go classic white) with a classic gum rubber outsole and generally drops in a vibrant palette of colorways. At just $100 a pair, this is one of the most stylish sneakers you can pick up right now without breaking the bank.

Like the Mexico 66, this sneaker is incredibly easy to style looking great with most fits, whether you’re rocking something incredibly casual or dressing up for a night out.

Track pants, baggy jeans, shorts, or chinos are a natural pair for this narrow soccer sneaker.

Salomon XT-6

STyle Hot List
Salomon

Thoughts And How To Style

The two trends that seem to be dominating streetwear right now are utilitarian-focused hiking sneakers and functional running sneakers. Salomon’s unisex XT-6 is the latter, so if the sneaker lacks flash in your eyes it’s very much designed that way on purpose.

This sneaker doesn’t feature a lot of visual details to charm you. Instead, it relies on functional EVA cushioning for a comfortable step, a lightweight TPU film and mesh build for durability, and a chassis designed for rough downhill travel. The people who love these sneakers swear by the fit and comfortability, so if you’re after a lightweight sneaker that is going to provide support while looking trendy in the process, the XT-6 is for you.

The XT-6 looks great with straight-legged pants, midi skirts, chino pants, and, true to the sneaker’s roots, shorts.

New Balance 9060

STyle Hot List
New Balance

Thoughts And How To Style

The New Balance 9060 takes all the best design elements from the 99X series and infuses it with a Y2K aesthetic. This silhouette features a mesh upper with pigskin suede overlays over a dual-density midsole with ABZORB or SBS cushioning.

The most iconic detail of the 9060 is the sculpted pod midsole. To me the sneaker has always resembled a hoof, take that as you will!

When it comes to styling the 9060 be sure to wear something that helps accentuate the shape. So put the baggy pants down and go for some tailored trousers or anything relatively tapered to help let this chunky design shine.

Asics Gel Kayano 14

STyle Hot List
Asics

Thoughts And How To Style

If you’re not feeling the whole Y2K resurgence and prefer a throwback to a more recent era, the Asics Gel Kayano 14 is your sneaker. First released in the late 2000s, the Gel Kayano features an upper composed of layers of synthetic material and mesh with Asics GEL technology for a comfortable ride.

Asics keeps this sneaker well stocked in both men’s and women’s sizes and a variety of colorways, making it a versatile choice that will fit in everybody’s wardrobe.

This is another sneaker that features a chunky shape that is best juxtaposed by some cuffed-up trousers or chinos, or shorts or anything that is going to show off the shape.

Hoka Clifton 9

STyle Hot List
Hoka

Thoughts And How To Style

While running shoes are dominating the streetwear scene right now, most of those sneakers are throwback designs to another era. Throwback designs look great, but they’re not often the most comfortable and cutting-edge, the Hoka Clifton 9 is the opposite.

Released in 2023, the Clifton 9 is the ninth iteration of Hoka’s Clifton line (hence the name) and features a compression-molded EVA foam midsole for ultimate comfort with a streamlined upper design composed of breathable knit with minimal overlays. It’s light, cushiony, and ultra-modern.

Cliftons will look great with everything from shorts to pants to dresses, but for best results reserve these sneakers for your more athletic-focused fits.

Saucony Pro Grid Triumph 4

STyle Hot List
Saucony

Thoughts And How To Style

Incredibly tech-focused and futuristic — despite dropping 16 years ago — the Saucony Pro Grid Triumph 4 is Saucony’s most popular silhouette. The sneaker features an open mesh base adorned with leather overlays, an Arch-lock, and a ProGrid-equipped midsole with a narrow heel and a bouncy comfortable fit.

While most runners focus on mesh and synthetic uppers, the Saucony still sports leather, giving it a sort of luxury look that sets it apart from other running shoes.

The Saucony is another GorpCore staple, so pair this sneaker with ultra-baggy cargo pants or midi dresses.

New Balance 990v3

STyle Hot List
New Balance

Thoughts And How To Style

In truth, you could pick any of the New Balance 990s and spark envy amongst fashion-forward onlookers. It is, without a doubt, New Balance’s best silhouette, but if we had to pick the best version, we’re going with the v3.

The v3 sports a premium pigskin upper with nylon and sits atop NB’s ENCAP midsole for a light step. The best version of this sneaker almost always comes out of NB’s Made in USA label which generally has the best colorways and collaborations.

If you come across a 990v3 Made in USA, pick it up and don’t give it too much thought, if you do it’ll likely sell out.

Styling this sneaker is incredibly easy, it looks great with anything. Skirts, washed-out jeans, trousers, shorts, hell, I’ve people around LA rocking a suit with a fresh pair of 990v3s and it still looked good.

Taylor Swift, Noted Cinema Lover, Is Forcing A Bunch Of Movies To Change Their Release Dates

Taylor Swift has been in many movies, though most of them are pretty bad: Cats, Amsterdam, Cats, The Giver, Cats, etc. She also really wanted an Oscar nom, but that didn’t happen. So instead of getting some acting lessons or giving up entirely, she has decided to single-handedly destroy the movie industry by messing up everyone’s fall release schedules. And honestly, you can’t really blame her for that.

Last week, Swift announced that her concert tour film will head to theaters on Friday, October 13th. Shortly after the announcement, Jason Blum announced that the upcoming Exorcist installment, The Exorcist: Believer would give up that coveted October 13th release date in order to give the Swifties more breathing/screaming room in the cinema. It was probably a good idea, as The Eras Tour racked up over $10 million in presale tickets.

But that’s not the only movie that has shifted release dates. Dumb Money, the movie about the infamous GameStop debacle, has been moved around multiple times over the past few months due to the ongoing strike, but will now open on September 29th instead of its previous release date of October 6th. Pete Davidson and Paul Dano surely don’t want to compete with The Exorcist.

Ordinary Angels, a film from the Christian film company Kingdom Story, has also disappeared from its October 6th release date, which could mean that they were actually too nervous that The Excorist releasing on the same day could scare off some of their moviegoers. A new date has not yet been released. A24’s release of Pricilla has also been delayed until November 3rd.

Finally, RomCom princess Meg Ryan is returning to the screen for What Happens Later, though it seems to be happening much later than its original release date, which was October 13th. It will now be released on November 3rd.

Do we think Taylor is happy that people are actually going to see her in theaters for once? Probably! Listen……at least it’s not Cats 2.

The Best New Hip-Hop This Week

The best new hip-hop this week includes albums, videos, and songs from Busta Rhymes, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and more.

Ladies and gentlemen, Cardi B is back. She kicked off her album rollout thisweek, once again teaming up with Megan Thee Stallion for “Bongos,” another left turn that expands her reach and is sure to get played OUT at just about every function for the next month or so. Meanwhile, Flyana Boss, the adorable duo of best friends that has been running through our offices and everybody’s timeline, dropped a remix to their breakout hit featuring none other than freaking Missy Elliott, without whom there might not have even been a lane for their quirky approach to “weird Black girl” rap.

Elsewhere, Young Nudy remixed his “Peaches & Eggplants” with the help of Sexyy Red and Latto, while Flo Milli continued the rollout for Fine Ho, Stay with “Chocolate Rain.” Women are clearly still running rap lately, a movement which Busta Rhymes acknowledges and advances with the video for “Luxury Life” featuring Coi Leray. Finally, Killer Mike paid homage to an Atlanta icon along with a few of his fellow ATLiens with “Maynard Vignette.”

Here is the best of hip-hop this week ending September 8, 2023.

Albums/EPs/Mixtapes

38 Spesh & Conway The Machine — Speshal Machinery

The Upstate New York invasion of hip-hop continues with yet another project from the exceedingly prolific offshoots of the Griselda crew. This time, it’s Rochester rapper/producer 38 Spesh once again teaming up with Buffalo native Conway The Machine to bring more gritty throwback street rap to the masses, with some assistance from Benny The Butcher, Che Noir, Elcamino, Lloyd Banks, and Pharoahe Monch(!).

Apollo Brown & Planet Asia — Sardines

Apollo Brown

The Detroit producer’s funk-girded sound has backed projects from some of the hardest wordsmiths in hip-hop, from Ghostface Killah and Guilty Simpson to Ras Kass and Skyzoo. This time, he re-teams with Bay Area backpack stalwart Planet Asia for a dank, murky excursion to evoking a cipher session in the basement of a record store that exclusively sells ’70s soul.

Haiti Babii — Nuthin 2 Krazy

Haiti Babii

Stockton, California rapper Haiti Babii drops off eight new tracks of shoulder leaning tough talk. There aren’t a lot of bells or whistles here, just thumping, thunderous beats and sneering boasts and jabs from a rapper who spits with the force of a blunt instrument to the sternum.

Mike & Keys — The Paris Tapes

Mike & Keys

Here’s a list of the names featured on The Futuristiks’ new compilation (recorded, as the title states, in Paris last month): Buddy, Dizzy Wright, Guapdad 4000, Huey Briss, Smoke DZA, Thurz, and more. A rap fan’s dream of a project, The Paris Tapes are the result of genuine chemistry between a group of folks who are actually friends in real life — some, for more than a decade — and share their talents as readily as they pass blunts in the smoke sessions that undoubtedly went down during the recording of this project.

Teezo Touchdown — How Do You Sleep At Night?

Teezo Touchdown

One of the most anticipated projects of the weekend, Teezo Touchdown’s debut album displays all the eclectic tendencies that have made him so beloved with his contemporaries, taking detours into pop punk, ska, new wave, R&B, dance funk, and mid-2000s radio alt-rock. If Lil Yachty’s Let’s Start Here or Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape perked up your ears, Teezo’s big bow is for you.

Singles/Videos

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie — “Her Birthday”

Coming from A Boogie’s new project B4 BOA — a three-song warm-up for his next full-length album — “Her Birthday” is vintage Artist, focusing on yet another toxic situationship. A Boogie examines the shortcomings of both parties, coming to the conclusion “it’s my fault, I never should have fell in love.”

Curren$y, Fendi P, Black Cobain & Fiend — “Who Let You In Here”

The second release from the forthcoming Jet Life compilation Season Opener, this one is a relatively straightforward posse cut, accompanied by a video that reflects the freestyle nature of the track itself.

GloRilla, Gloss Up & Slimeroni — “Wrong One” Feat. Aleza, K Carbon & Tay Keith

Speaking of posse cuts, this one might have the best hook ever. Tay Keith provides his usual bass-heavy trunk funk while Glo and her ratchet-ass friends break it down, cussing out some no-good dudes and reminding them that these ladies aren’t for play-play.

Knucks — “I Suppose” Feat. Larry June

Here is an unexpected but surprisingly fruitful combination. Knucks, who hails from Kilburn, London crosses continents to connect with Kenny Beats and Bay Area native Larry June, which kind of feels like what’s been happening with drill, but in reverse. More American mainstays producing for British rappers in the future, please — this is a movement I can get behind.

That Mexican OT — “Skelz”

Another single from Lonestar Luchador, “Skelz” is a bouncy opportunity for OT to flex, flow, and brush off a few haters. It’s hard not to like this guy; he blends the best of the intersecting Houston cultures that inform his style, while demonstrating enough mastery of the form to overcome any initial skepticism from hardcore hip-hop heads who might side-eye his vaquero style.

Wynne — “High Standards”

Another day, another fire Wynne single. She’s really found her lane with her recent projects; after spending a couple of years proving that she can be a true microphone menace, she’s redirected her acidic wit toward making fun, upbeat, dismissive party anthems for the girlies. She’s just as adept, rattling off a few quotables that may even have the dusty dudes she targets reaching for the rewind button.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

The Long-Threatened Disney+ And Hulu Price Increase Is Coming Soon (For Real This Time)

It’s that time of year again, a time when your favorite streamers actually begin following through on all of those promises made earlier in the season. Yes, when Hulu and Disney+ announced that they would increase their prices (again) we all thought maybe if we ignored it, it would go away, and we would continue to pay our little $10.99 forever. That is not the case, and it has never been the case. One of these days……we will learn. Today is not that day!

After months of preparing, Hulu and Disney+ have officially sent notifications to users that the price increase will start on Thursday, October 12th. Why didn’t they wait one more day and make the increase a fun little jump scare for Friday the 13th? Who knows!

As previously mentioned, Disney+ Premium will increase from $10.99 to $13.99 a month. Hulu without ads will increase from $14.99 to $17.99 a month. For those of us who don’t mind all of those fun shampoo ads, the price for Disney+ and Hulu’s ad-supported tiers will still be bundled at $9.99 per month. Hulu Live also gets a steep jump from $69.99 to $76.99 a month, with ad-free clocking at $89.99 a month.

Last month, Disney CEO Bob Iger Iger explained, “Later this year, we will begin to update our subscriber agreements with additional terms and our sharing policies. And we will roll out tactics to drive monetization sometime in 2024.” Now is the time to give out your password and see who your real friends are.

Flight attendant sits on the floor the entire flight to comfort distressed passenger

Not everyone enjoys flying. The level of non-enjoyment can range from mild discomfort to full blown Aerophobia, which is defined as an extreme fear of flying. While flying is the quickest way to get to far away destinations, for some people being that far off the ground is terrifying and they’d rather take their chances on the ground.

A passenger flying from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport in North Carolina to JFK International Airport in New York confronted that fear while flying with Delta. The woman, who is currently still unidentified expressed that she was nervous to fly according to Molly Simonson Lee, a passenger seated behind the woman who witnessed the encounter. Tight spaces don’t make for much privacy, but in this case, the world is better for knowing this took place.


According to Lee, who posted about the exchange on Facebook, the Delta flight attendant, Floyd Dean-Shannon, took his time to give the nervous traveler his undivided attention. Lee told Upworthy the unidentified passenger, “was very nervous and even before the plane took off, she was visibly shaken by each sound.”

Approximately 25 million people in the United States have Aerophobia according to the Clevland Clinic and most of them probably wish Dean-Shannon was on their flights. “He took notice and began explaining what each [sound] was, with the warmest, calmest tone,” Lee said. That wasn’t even the most amazingly sweet part of the story.

While the explanation of noises helped, Lee said about halfway through the flight the passenger was fighting back tears, which prompted Dean-Shannon to sit on the floor and hold the frightened passenger’s hand. He comforted her for the rest of the flight while sitting on the floor. “His tone was so kind and soothing,” according to Lee.

Dean-Shannon’s kindness didn’t stop there. Lee explained, “the woman next to me was celebrating a birthday and he sang to her and made her a ‘cake’ with all of the goodies he could round up.”

I’m not sure what Delta pays him but he needs a raise immediately and it seems the people of the interwebs agree.

Commenter, Miranda Anderson, tagged Delta Airlines and wrote, “I hope you see this! These are the types of people that deserve raises and make your company worth flying with. This is what pits [sic] you above the others so show these employees this is what you want and what you need.”

“I love this. This is what society is lacking. Empathy and kindness towards people in time[s] of need” wrote Diane Lawrence.

While Mary Beth Acker Ford, said, “I was on a flight with him today. He exudes joy and is intentional about making a connection with each person!”

This level of engagement with passengers is not a common experience but clearly people are happy to see this type of connection between humans. Flying anywhere can be stressful for any amount of reasons. From leaving the house late and having to participate in an involuntary 5k to catch your flight, to making your way through the devil’s backyard, also known as Atlanta International Airport…just for them to change your gate 10 minutes before boarding.

So having a flight attendant like Dean-Shannon is just the breath of fresh air people need. “The way he’s looking at her…letting her know she’s safe!!! This is just one of the many reasons I will always fly Delta Air Lines,” Liz Martin wrote in the comments.

“It was obvious he is just a good, kind soul who shares that generously with everyone he encounters. Such kindness is rare and a true gift when encountered,” Lee remarked. That level of kindness is rare indeed and we sure are happy someone thought to capture it.

George Clooney Is Reportedly Selling His Scenic Lake Como Estate For $107 Million If You Guys Wanna Pitch In And Scoop It Up

George Clooney’s very popular tequila brand, Casamigos (you’ve seen the ads all over the subway), quite literally translates to ‘House of Friends’ so you know that this man loves a good house. Unfortunately for his friends, he seems to be doing away with one of his more popular homes, the one in Lake Como, Italy. You know, the place where Anakin and Padme got married.

Clooney is selling his estate for a whopping $107 million, which is actually less than the amount of money that Clooney’s character steals in Ocean’s Eleven so it seems like a bargain. He bought the home in 2002 for about $10 million. This was right after he had a cameo in Spy Kids, so it makes sense that he was loaded back then. Now he just sells tequila.

Don’t feel too bad for him, though. Clooney still allegedly owns four other estates, most recently purchasing a nice little mansion in France, so he has many more Houses for Friends. If that’s what he chooses to do.

For now, Clooney seems to be laying low as he settles into his other homes. He is slated to star alongside Brad Pitt in AppleTV+’s hitman thriller Wolves, though production shut down in July due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Earlier this year he had a minor cameo in The Flash, but we don’t have to talk about that.

Conan O’Brien Invited A Fan Onto His Podcast So They Could Recount The Delightful Story Of The Time He Practically Begged Her To Take A Selfie With Him

Conan O’Brien is one of the good ones. And by that we mean he’s a late-night comedian turned podcast host who doesn’t behave like a total asshole to his employees and fans. Case in point: this story O’Brien shared on a recent episode of his show that proves he’s not above poking fun at himself to earn a few laughs.

O’Brien invited a woman named Kayla on his podcast to detail their meet-cute at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) (which is apparently where she works). O’Brien explained he was in New York for meetings and looking for a restaurant near/in the museum when Kayla caught him creeping after hours. The two had a chat — she’s obviously a fan — but things ended rather awkwardly when the comedian offered up a selfie to which Kayla basically replied, “No, I’m good.”

The two had a friendly back-and-forth about what actually happened after O’Brien told the story about the initial rejection with Kayla clearing up that she initially refused a photo because she didn’t want to impose. “You were so kind and generous to talk to me,” she said. “I felt at that point I was already such an imposition. So I guess what I said was, ‘I’m good. That’s not really my style.’”

But Kayla immediately changed her answer when she saw O’Brien’s reaction.

“Your face just totally fell,” she said as O’Brien’s co-hosts laughed along. “I felt really sad so I said, ‘Why, do you want a selfie?’ And then you said, ‘Yeah, I really do.’”

As funny as the whole story is, the best bit comes at the end when Kayla reveals that O’Brien misremembered the interaction so badly that he blacked out the part where she actually did take a selfie with him. So, let this be a lesson to all Conan fans: When he asks you if you want to take a selfie, just say yes. It’s really for him, not you.
