Speaker 1: You're listening to I'm Ama Mia podcast for context. The
Speaker 1: reason that we're talking about this today is the internet
Speaker 1: is a wash with people, in my opinion, concern trolling
Speaker 1: Ariana Grande saying she's really sick. She's clearly very unwell.
Speaker 1: We've seen this happen to celebrities before, Karen Carpenter. There's
