Speaker 1: Everybody look great in the Danna, some'me in the spartlight.
Speaker 1: I don't know with to Becky, Oh, everyone's going off
Speaker 1: about Northwest. If you live under a rock or have
Speaker 1: a life, Northwest is the child of Kanye and Kim Kardashian.
Speaker 1: Don't worry. I don't have a life either, because I
Speaker 1: know who she is. She's the eldest kid of theirs.
Speaker 1: I think they've got a few anyway. She's made headlines
Speaker 1: this week for being a nepo baby. If you don't
Speaker 1: know what an epo baby is, it's a nepotism baby,
Speaker 1: the child of two famous people, and nepotism. It's not
Speaker 1: looked at happily. If you're an nepo baby, you know
Speaker 1: you have a lot of privilege in life. Things are
Speaker 1: handed to you. You know. I've said before I love
Speaker 1: the Beckhams. A lot of people didn't realize just how
Speaker 1: great the Beckhams were until David Beckham's documentary, and you
Speaker 1: could see I saw it years earlier, how good they
Speaker 1: were as parents. They just, you know, really great parents.
Speaker 1: They made their kids get jobs as soon as they
Speaker 1: were old enough legally too. They made them be waiters
Speaker 1: and stuff like and they had to wait on really
Speaker 1: snawty people. So, you know, people who were in the
Speaker 1: industry that they may one day think that they can
Speaker 1: just step into you know, because if you have a
Speaker 1: lot of money and you're raising children, but you come
Speaker 1: from nothing where you've had to struggle, how do you
Speaker 1: reconcile that, Oh, do we give them everything that we
Speaker 1: never had. No, we make them understand the value of everything.
Speaker 1: Just because you have money, you don't have to show
Speaker 1: that you have money. It's nice to live comfortably, but
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, I've had money and I've not had money,
Speaker 1: and I reckon the secret to happiness as far as
Speaker 1: money goes, is having a roof over your head and
Speaker 1: being able to pay a bill and if something goes wrong,
Speaker 1: having the money I mean, and that's why we're so
Speaker 1: incredibly lucky to live in a country where we have
Speaker 1: medicare you know, we can be taken care of in
Speaker 1: a public system. But to be able to not have
Speaker 1: to worry do I have enough money in my account
Speaker 1: to pay that bill that's just come in. That's happiness.
Speaker 1: I honestly believe you do not need more money than
Speaker 1: that money to go on a holiday, would be lovely,
Speaker 1: but you can save up for that. It's a lovely
Speaker 1: feeling to have to save and to spend your money
Speaker 1: on something that you've worked really hard for. It's lovely
Speaker 1: when you're just given things there's no value. You don't care.
Speaker 1: You will wreck that property. You know, material, nothing doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if it breaks, you haven't worked hard to get it.
Speaker 1: So anyway, back to Northwest. She just did a performance
Speaker 1: that was celebrating the Lion King and its legacy at
Speaker 1: the Hollywood Bowl. Yep, okay great. It was filmed for
Speaker 1: a release on Disney Plus. It features performances by artists
Speaker 1: who worked on various adaptations over the years. And then
Speaker 1: there was this particular performance by north singing, I just
Speaker 1: can't wait to be King. She was surrounded by professional
Speaker 1: Broadway artists. Here's a little listen. Okay, stop that now,
Speaker 1: stop stop stop. We don't need to listen to any
Speaker 1: more of that. It was a pretty mediocre performance, but
Speaker 1: this is something that I'd like to say about. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are saying, oh, the kids who
Speaker 1: auditioned for that, who really sing, and blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Right, this is all I've got to say
Speaker 1: about that. I'm quoting this from TikTok from Guided Inspiration,
Speaker 1: who I just adore. If you don't already follow her,
Speaker 1: she is just amazing. She reads faces and body language.
Speaker 1: She's absolutely incredible, not like in a spiritual way, in
Speaker 1: a studied like why like she's educated and all that stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: she had something really good to say, and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna basically because it's exactly what I think the fact
Speaker 1: that Northwest was the perfect casting for this song. She says,
Speaker 1: consider for a moment that the song is about the entitlement,
Speaker 1: the hoobree and nepotism. It's all right there in the lyrics.
Speaker 1: I'm brushing up on looking down, every buddy, look left, everybody,
Speaker 1: look right, everywhere you look standing in the spotlight. This
Speaker 1: is quite literally the quiet part said out loud. Simba's
Speaker 1: character is headstrong, unprepared, unskilled, and adventurous, experiencing the excitement
Speaker 1: that comes with discovery of birthright privilege. Also, we're used
Speaker 1: to hearing the song sung with the soulful intensity of
Speaker 1: you know, a child who is trying to rescue their
Speaker 1: family from their current circumstances. But this is what the
Speaker 1: song actually should sound like if sung by someone who
Speaker 1: had nothing to lose and truly nothing to gain. We're
Speaker 1: all sasu. He sings a bit in the song. This
Speaker 1: child is getting wildly out of wing. If there was
Speaker 1: a monarchy, we are headed count me out. But what
Speaker 1: remains true is she just can't wait to be king.
Speaker 1: And who do you think is going to be the
Speaker 1: king in about ten years time? That kid? So having
Speaker 1: her do it is quite poignant. Don't you think Simba
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been really able to sing it with any
Speaker 1: kind of confidence? Birthright, privileged people, nepotism people, other people
Speaker 1: working their asses off to get nowhere. That's the world
Speaker 1: we live in. How about a useless fact? Also? I
Speaker 1: watched on the weekend Back to Black, the Amy Winehouse biopic,
Speaker 1: biopic biopic, dreadful, abominable, My god, I shouldn't have watched
Speaker 1: it just before I went to sleep, because I couldn't
Speaker 1: sleep properly without just seeing this incredibly bad performance of
Speaker 1: this incredibly bad life. They've done absolutely nothing to cover
Speaker 1: how amazing she was. Nothing. They didn't show her coming
Speaker 1: from a family full of jazz musicians. They didn't show
Speaker 1: her going to music school, acting school. They did show
Speaker 1: a bit of her writing music, but they just showed
Speaker 1: her falling in love with a complete loser and ruining
Speaker 1: her life and not caring enough about anything but him
Speaker 1: enough to lose her life just oh far out. It
Speaker 1: was just so incredibly heartbreaking, heartbreaking that that happened to
Speaker 1: such a talent and she was her own worst enemy.
Speaker 1: That's the saddest part is when you get in your
Speaker 1: own way, and women do it. How do we get
Speaker 1: that involved, that in love with someone another human that
Speaker 1: everything else in our life falls to the wayside. And
Speaker 1: despite that, she went on to win Grammys and become
Speaker 1: one of the world's biggest I mean because of him.
Speaker 1: She wrote some amazing music, but she would have anyway,
Speaker 1: the fact that she started using because of him. Anyway,
Speaker 1: watch it if you will watch it at your own peril,
Speaker 1: That's what I say. Or just go and listen to
Speaker 1: her music and read some really great biographies about her
Speaker 1: and you know how good she really was. Okay to
Speaker 1: give the cold shoulder. The first recorded use of this
Speaker 1: phrase dates back to the early eighteen hundreds. It refers
Speaker 1: to an old custom of giving an unwelcome guest a
Speaker 1: cold piece of meat from the shoulder of mutton, pork
Speaker 1: or beef chop, as opposed to a welcome guest receiving
Speaker 1: a warm serving. This was a polite way to communicate.
Speaker 1: You may leave now. I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 1: Maybe it is. Who are we to know? I mean,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, who are we to know?
Speaker 1: I mean we I guess we could know. I like
Speaker 1: this the next one. I'm going to give you an
Speaker 1: out of extra because why not to butter someone up?
Speaker 1: Sounds sexual to me? Is it? Maybe? Here we go.
Speaker 1: This was a customary religious act in ancient India. The
Speaker 1: vout would throw butter butter balls at the statues of
Speaker 1: their gods to seek favor and forgiveness. Is it true?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Who knows at the end of the day, Well,
Speaker 1: the people do people? That's it? Anyway, He's wonderful. Today
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the day that they're gonna throw a
Speaker 1: vaccine And by now you should have somehow allowed us
Speaker 1: and gotta do you better put it in
