Great White Shark Surprises Paddleboarders, Justin Bieber Owes Scooter Braun and Mass Layoff at US State Department
In this week’s episode of The Next Take Podcast, hosts Mikel and Tanyka unpack a trio of stories making waves across news and entertainment. They begin with a dramatic encounter off the coast, where a white shark startled a group of unsuspecting paddleboarders, sparking renewed conversations about ocean safety and wildlife behavior. From there, the hosts shift gears to the music industry, exploring reports that Justin Bieber allegedly owes Scooter Braun, a development that raises fresh questions about contracts, loyalty, and the shifting dynamics of artist–manager relationships. Finally, they examine the political fallout of a mass layoff at the U.S. State Department, discussing what it signals about the future of American diplomacy and the broader implications for global affairs.
