I 3 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: can't help it. 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: Why do you okay? Starting it?

Welcome everyone. 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: It's so hard to be natural, isn't it? 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: When it when it comes to an intro, Yes, you're 10 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: usually punching it with some energy. I don't know, almost 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: thirty years of broadcasting experience. You go into broadcasting mode. 12 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 1: So yes, again, it's okay. Proof is in the pudding. 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: All you're doing is making sure that you start every podcast. 14 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: You see how you just that just came out naturally? 15 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: Right?

When we were on GM A three, sitting 18 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: on the set and before we start the show and 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: there's counting out five four three, and I'm talking to you, 20 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: I'm like poking. Just as soon as the show starts, 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 2: the cameras come on and our MIC's come up, we're 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 2: in the middle of conversation, and that's when you are 23 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: nailing because you're at your best. You ain't thinking about it. 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: You're not looking at a prompter. You just boom and 25 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: you just go boom. But we Andy was the one here, 26 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: our producer in the room.

You know who was great today? 33 00:01:54,120 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 2: Homes Oh you all, yes, Beanie bean. Today was a 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 2: very big day. We are recording. We hustled here because Sabine, 35 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 2: eleven year old had her first ever track meet and 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: her first ever athletic competition in her young life. Was 37 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 2: today an official track meet that we have been working 38 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: on and training for for weeks, her for months, but 39 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: we've been going out really hard with her on the 40 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: track for the past couple of weeks and so. 41 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 1: It was awesome. It was it was. There are those 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: moments you're coaching your kids. You're hoping that they're joways, 43 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: just going to give it their all. You're hoping that 44 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: you don't want necessarily a victory. You just want them 45 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: to give it their all. Right, that's what you're trying 46 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: to do. 47 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 2: So we wanted to win though, don't get me wrong, yeah, 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. 49 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: But anyway, you're not telling them that, You're just saying 50 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: all I care about is that you give it your all. 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: And so it's been really sweet to watch TJ getting 52 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: up really early with Sabine pretty much every morning for 53 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: the last several days, going to a track with was 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: not easy to find in New York City, by the way, 55 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: in Manhattan, and getting her out onto a real track 56 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: and training for the two hundred meter and timing her 57 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: and her splits and helping her with her form, and 58 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: she was such a good student. Not every kid takes 59 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: direction well from a parent, especially, But I watched it 60 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: all happen. And today was the track meet. She was 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: in the two hundred and TJ tell us what happened. 62 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 2: She won her heat. 63 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, she's got legs for miles, she's got 64 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: your body. You call her. Your nickname for her is 65 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: so cute, stix. She just got these She's all legs. 66 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean, she was built to be a runner. I 67 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: mean it's just it's and it's so sweet. To see 68 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: her just look at you and look for your direction. 69 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: She knows her daddy knows how to run races now, 70 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: and so it's just it's so sweet to see it happen. 71 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: And how sweet is it that she actually won. That 72 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: is rare and cool and should be celebrated. 73 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: Every parent can relate to that. You want you look, 74 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: you do want your kid to win, of course, but 75 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: oftentimes that's for you, right, that's for the parents. I 76 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: want my child to win. I could be proud, but 77 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: I just wanted her to be able to feel good 78 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: about the race that she ran. And the last thing 79 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 2: is to run your race. Do not worry about where 80 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 2: any other kid is. Run your race and you're gonna 81 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: be okay. And sure enough, she ran her race. There 82 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 2: was a kid and you saw this. There was a 83 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: day that we went out to practice with her. The 84 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: one day I went and she was like she was dying, 85 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: like she's just gonna throw up, and she was hurting. 86 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 2: It was just pain, like running hurts, right, it does. Today. 87 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: I saw her as another kid was approaching in the 88 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: straightaway and that two hundred meter was catching up with 89 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: her and she was slowing down. You could tell she 90 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: was struggling, and she kicked into another gear when she 91 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 2: saw that other kid. And that was a great life 92 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: lesson for her to see that I can push through 93 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 2: something and to watch her do it. I didn't have 94 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: to encourage her or anything. She learned something about herself today. 95 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: That was That was the best part of the day. 96 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: I also agree that teaching your kids, if you put 97 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: in the practice, you put in the work. It doesn't 98 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: mean you're gonna win, but you have a better shot 99 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: than most when you put the work in. So she 100 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: did it. She got up early, she went in all 101 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: kinds of weather, and it paid off. And that's an 102 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: also very important lesson for folks to learn. She did 103 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: just wake up and yeah, she's got long legs and 104 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: she ran faster than everybody. No, she worked at it. 105 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: She she wanted on her form, and she got up 106 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: and did the hard thing. So I love those types 107 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: of lessons. Win or lose, there are great lessons to have, 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: but it's maybe even a little extra sweet when it's 109 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: a win. 110 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: It was fun to us and we were leaving here 111 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: immediately to go celebrate with her, to go party. She's 112 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: holding onto the champagne. She's not gonna pop it until 113 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 2: we get there. So that's Frue. You're standing by texting 114 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 2: as we speak. She's having a good time. But today, folks, 115 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: on this episode, we are gonna we're gonna quickly tick 116 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: through a few topics that have gotten us interested, worked up, sad, 117 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: even to a certain degree. But Robes has worked up 118 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: about new breast cancer screening guidelines. A former GMA colleague 119 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: of ours has now been fired. We have something in 120 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 2: common with Jelly Roll, and we want to give a 121 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: collective hug to Jlo Lopez. We're gonna hit those things 122 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: here in the next few minutes. So let's start at 123 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: the top here. Breast cancer screens. We've done a couple 124 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: of episodes. Everybody knows you're a breast cancer survivor and 125 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: you've talked about this for a long time. But now 126 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: this task force, they are the authority on breast cancer screenings. 127 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: They have now gone back on guidelines that they gave 128 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: us what ten years ago, Please tell forty year old 129 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 2: women now should be getting breat cancers. 130 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: They have flip flopped so many times, and that is 131 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: my biggest frustration because it is already confusing, and then 132 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: they just make it more confusing, and so when I 133 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: ended up getting my screening, my first mammogram at forty, 134 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: it was only because of my job Good Morning America. 135 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: They asked me to do that, just to show women 136 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: to start Breast Cancer Awareness Month that at forty you, 137 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Robin Roberts was the big impetus for this. 138 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: You should get your baseline mammogram. But that went against 139 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: what the US Preventive Services Task Force suggested, which was 140 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: fifty if you had no family history, if you were 141 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: of average risk. 142 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: And that's been the case for the past, that's been 143 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: in place with. 144 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: Ten years, yes, and there was a time where I 145 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: believe the American Cancer Society said forty five. So it 146 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: just you know, look, busy women, busy lives, and who 147 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: wants to go to the doctor and get a test 148 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: they might not need or probably don't need in their minds, right, 149 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: So if you tell me I can wait till I'm fifty, 150 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm waiting till I'm fifty. If it hadn't been for 151 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: my job, I would have waited until I was fifty 152 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: or until I had symptoms, which is usually when it's 153 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: too late. So I credit just knowing other breast cancer 154 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: survivors and how having a work assignment. That is the 155 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: only reason I found my cancer at the age of forty. 156 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: And just for the record, at the age of forty, 157 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: a seemingly healthy young woman with no family history, I 158 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: had it. I had two malignant tumors, it had already 159 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: spread to my limp notes. So that's just the reality 160 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: that so many other women are facing. So if you're 161 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: told you can wait to your fifty, you've got ten 162 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: years now, where that's not time you can spare if 163 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: you're already if you already have breast cancer. And the 164 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: only way the best test we have right now is 165 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: a mammogram. So anyway, they've now said, hey, ladies, whoops, 166 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: Now you should go at forty. And there is still 167 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: a sticking point that's angering a lot of medical professionals 168 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: who work with breast cancer patients. They're saying every other year, 169 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: not every year. And the problem is when this task 170 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: force makes these types of recommendations, it affects what doctors recommend, 171 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: it affects what insurance companies will cover, and it definitely 172 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: affects women living and dying. And they said, just by 173 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: this was some medical professional said, just by changing the 174 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: guidelines from fifty to forty. They believe that that could 175 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: have a significant impact on women surviving breast cancer. 176 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: Okay, you've changed the guidelines from fifty to forty, but 177 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 2: you're saying every other year at forty versus every year 178 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: at forty. Yeah, I mean, I mean what it isn't 179 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: somebody going to argue? And so in five years, this 180 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 2: task force are going to come back you say, you 181 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: know what, we should do it every year starting exactly exactly. 182 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: There was a doctor who was quoted saying, we can 183 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: save even more lives, up to nearly twenty percent more 184 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: lives with this updated strategy. There is no new information 185 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: out there. This is just a group of they're actually 186 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: a volunteer group of folks, most of whom do not 187 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: treat breast cancer patients at all, making these recommendations. And 188 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: it has a huge financial impact on the insurance companies, 189 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: on the doctors, on the medical professionals. So there's just 190 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: so much at play here, and the reality is the 191 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: most important thing that should be at play is a 192 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: woman's life. And that is what's frustrating to me that 193 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: the only only reason they claim, oh there's unnecessary testing, 194 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: there's unnecessary anxiety for younger women who have dense breast tissue. 195 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: That's why we're only saying every other year, because they'll 196 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: be unnecessary tests and unnecessary worry. You know what, all 197 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: take being worried, All take getting a false positive to 198 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: find out I don't have preast cancer versus not getting 199 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: the test at all and not knowing I have breast cancer. 200 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: Well, you're speaking again too, You're you're speaking from an 201 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: experience you have, and I understand obviously your passion, But 202 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 2: what do these folks again, I don't not familiar with 203 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 2: whose this group is, how they get on this task force? 204 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: But are they not to you talk about the money aspect. 205 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: There's a financial aspect and there is like some influence 206 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: possibly on this group. So you're taking a lot of 207 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: people can't see what you did. But I am on 208 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: the outside to a certain degree and not as entrenched 209 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 2: as you are to where I think, well, surely these 210 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 2: people are trying to do what's best. Surely they only 211 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 2: have the interest of women's health and lives in them 212 00:10:59,040 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: in their mind. 213 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: They are saying that with the cost of it as well, 214 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: without a doubt, And I would just argue, you can't 215 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: put a price on a mother, on a sister, on 216 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: a daughter, And this is breast cancer affects men as well. 217 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: The mammogram issue, though, is what we're talking about, and 218 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: that is for women. And so when I speak to that, 219 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: I just say, I don't think you can put a 220 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: cost on a woman's life. And of course I am 221 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: coming at it from a very subjective point of view, 222 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: knowing specifically that I would have waited until I was fifty, 223 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: and had I done that, I don't know that I 224 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: would be here today. 225 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: Okay, but that's from where you're your standpoint, and you 226 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,599 Speaker 2: say it that way, you count it that way. But 227 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 2: it is a very good chance if you followed the 228 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 2: guidelines that were in place previously, you would not be 229 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: alive today. 230 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: Correct. 231 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: Okay, so that's where the passion. 232 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: It's understandable. Yes, So anyway, I applaud them finally making 233 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: it forty. I don't applaud the fact that they're saying 234 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: every other year. I think that is cost saving. And 235 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: they can say it's about unnecessary test, which again is 236 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: cost but they're also claiming that they're saving women from 237 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: undo anxiety from a false positive. I say, save me that, 238 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: I'll handle my own anxiety, give me the test. 239 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: Well, So, I mean we're not the ones in the business. 240 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: We've had doctors on here, we had you're on colleges 241 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: on here, We've had doctor Coleman on here. Of course, 242 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: they are the ones the experts who can give you 243 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: the advice or whatever you should do with this, and 244 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: who you should We can't give that. All we can 245 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 2: do is tell you that they're now saying women, you 246 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: should go get mammograms starting at forty and you should 247 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: get it every other year. That's all we can do, 248 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: right tod. 249 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: And I would just say, as someone who's been through this, 250 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: I just want every woman out there to feel empowered 251 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: to push for the healthcare that they want to receive. 252 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: And I think anyone, any doctor worth anything, is going 253 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: to support that and understand that allowing women to have 254 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: access to mammograms is in a very important part of 255 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: our health care. 256 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: You say that thing about like women to be empowered. 257 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: This is I've didn't plan on doing this now, but 258 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: I will because you said that and it triggered it. 259 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: Empower women. I have seen what's the name of the 260 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 2: medicine you need to live sinthroid, synthroid all right, you 261 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: have to have You have been trying to get your 262 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 2: prescription of synthroid for. 263 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: How long it's been like two months? 264 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: Okay, And the reason you can't get it is because it's. 265 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: Just a frustrating medical system. I think a lot of 266 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: people can understand this. You've got doctors who are overworked 267 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: and they've got a big caseload and they don't keep 268 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: track of their patients to an extent. And so, yes, 269 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: I was out of my synthroid. This is for a 270 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: thyroid condition I have. And I got the blood work, 271 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: I did everything I was supposed to, and there's just 272 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: all of there's just constant red tape, and there's just it. 273 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: We're busy, and so if someone puts a hurdle in 274 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: front of me and says calls me back and says, hey, 275 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: you have to now have a physical and I said, well, 276 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: I just did my blood work. Well now she won't 277 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: renew the prescription because you have to come in again 278 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: for a physical when I just had one a few 279 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: months ago. It's just there's all this paperwork and all 280 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: this red tape, and then you think you get the 281 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: test you need and then they tell you we're not 282 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: giving you the prescription. Unless you come in and do that, 283 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: it's just it's just a non stop. 284 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: You you had a synthroid. 285 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: They wouldn't renew it again, even though I just got 286 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: my blood work last month. 287 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: Okay, what happens if you don't take synthroid? 288 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: Eventually? Yeah, my body would eventually shut down. It would 289 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: take a long time. 290 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 2: Well, but your brother was testing about it. 291 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: So during the pandemic, I yes, de point, this is 292 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: my only wake up call to it. So I've had 293 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: I've been taking synth rid since I was twenty nine. 294 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: After my first baby, my byroid completely depleted. So I 295 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: think it's called hashimotos or something like that, but anyway, 296 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: I have to have it, so I stopped taking it. No, 297 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: that's the name of the thyroid syndrome. My you're getting 298 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: nods from Emma and from Andy. I'm not making it up. 299 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: I didn't just make up a word. So during the pandemic, 300 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: I was just it was hard to get a hold 301 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: of a doctor, and so I thought, what would happen 302 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: if I just stopped taking it? Really dumb idea. No 303 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: one ever do this. And it took I think two months, 304 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, I was like weak and 305 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: shaking and almost fainting. I could barely function, and I realized, 306 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: oh my god, I stopped taking the synthroid. I called 307 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: my brother, who's a physician. He's like, you're a moron, 308 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: And I said, could I die if I never take 309 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: in throat again? He was like, yes, you eventually would. 310 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: Your thyroid regulates your entire body. It would take a 311 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: while and it wouldn't be fun. I didn't ask him, well, 312 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: tell me that. 313 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 2: No, really, what are we talking months? We're talking years, 314 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: talking decades? 315 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: No, not decades. I mean, I don't know how long 316 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: it would take. What I'm saying, end of the world, 317 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: I'd be in trouble. 318 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: But no, you you'll are saying this that you need 319 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: something to live, and you have doctors making it difficult 320 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: for you to get the thing you need to live. 321 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 2: That is a problem. And look, I know you are 322 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: sitting We're sitting here in a very privileged situation with 323 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 2: the best doctors in the world and access and healthcare 324 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: and all these things. That's great, But for you, you need 325 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: something to live. And I have heard you on all 326 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: these phone calls. I'm like, what the hell? 327 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: Why is this hard? 328 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: Why is this hard. 329 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think so many people out there though, 330 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: who have to have medicine to actually yes, as you 331 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: point out, live understand it can be a frustrating, arduous task. 332 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: Even if you do all the things you're supposed to do. 333 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: They lost the paperwork, you have to come back in again, 334 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: you have to come into somewhere else to get blood work. 335 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: It's just it's it's exhausting. But yes, I would like 336 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: to live, so I will get I will get the synthroid. 337 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: Trust me. It's just gonna take a few more steps. 338 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 2: Apparently, Yeah, apparently we're gonna have to plan a heist 339 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: to go get this stuff, all right, but any that's 340 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: one thing. But yes, the breastkinds of screening is if 341 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: you don't know, ladies, read up on it, look at it, 342 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: and please talk to your doctor. But because the guidelines 343 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 2: have changed once again. The other thing we mentioned want 344 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 2: to talk about today is it's getting around and making 345 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: some headlines. But it has to do with a former 346 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: colleague of ours who, according to the headlines at least, 347 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 2: has been let go from ABC News and Good Morning America, 348 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: where he worked as a meteorologist for the past ten years. 349 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: Talking about Rob Marciano. Now, the details of it you 350 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 2: can go read for yourself. Not going to repeat a 351 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: lot of that stuff, but we know he's not working 352 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 2: that any there anymore. We were with somebody just had 353 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: a breakfast the other morning where somebody reminded us, hey, 354 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 2: nobody leaves ABC News in a pretty fashion. That's exactly 355 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: what they said. 356 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: Word for word. And yes, it's it's a tough situation. Yes, 357 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: we have walked down that road and it's not an 358 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: easy one. And I know he also has and I 359 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,959 Speaker 1: think he might still be going through a divorce. So 360 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: we know what it's like to have your entire life 361 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: up ended, career and personal life. So and we both 362 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,239 Speaker 1: have known Rob for a long time. You've known him 363 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: longer than I have. 364 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 2: We were at starting CNN in two thousand and six. 365 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 2: He was there, and we spent all those years together 366 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: at CNN. A lot this his He could pull out 367 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: his phone now and his phone is flooded with messages 368 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 2: from me over the past decade of me complimenting him. 369 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: He is one of the best guys I've ever seen 370 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 2: in the field covering weather. He is just good. He 371 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 2: is good at it, and I've always marveled, and I 372 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: like people who can handle live like that too, So 373 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: we don't obviously we don't know all the details, and 374 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 2: some of them that are out there are a little 375 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 2: sketchy and sallacious and and tabloid type clickable headline stuff 376 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: that we are not going to get into. But whatever 377 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 2: it is, it's we hate to see somebody who's been 378 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: a friend and colleague for a long time end up 379 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 2: in this place's position to be talked about the way 380 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: he's being talked about to some degree. But like I said, 381 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 2: that was a weird statement to get just yesterday. 382 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's you know, and you said it best. 383 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 1: It's not our place and we would never make it 384 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: our place to comment specifically on any of the details, 385 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: but we do know what it's like to have those 386 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:20,199 Speaker 1: headlines to be the subject of clickbait, and that's a 387 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: tough position for anyone to be going through, especially someone 388 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: who is a father of two. I know how much 389 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: he loves his kids. He talks about them all the time, 390 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: so it's just tough to see those headlines almost for 391 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: the sake of his family, his kids, him, all of that, 392 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: So our heart goes out to him, and I agree 393 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: he is. There's no one, you know. I mean, he 394 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: can weather from a tornado to a hurricane to a snowstorm. 395 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: He's been through it all, Yes, and he happily jumps 396 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: on those planes and rolls up his sleeves and puts 397 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: on those rubber boots and reports on everything for so 398 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: many people at the expensive of time with his family. 399 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: So I do applaud all the work he has bravely 400 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: done over the last decade or so, and we wish 401 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: him the very best. 402 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: No matter what. We don't know all the details, so 403 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 2: it's not some defense of anything he has or hasn't done. 404 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: It's just a matter of you just you just hate 405 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: to see it in that way for somebody. But that's 406 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: something that's and of course people immediately start sending us 407 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: messages and hey did you see this? And you know 408 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: this is going on because of our connection to that place. 409 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: So that's there. The is this a happier note? Jelly roll? 410 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 2: Jellyroll is off social media? Well, he jumped off, so 411 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: he's he said he is in a better mental place 412 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: and healthier because he stopped looking at social media. Who 413 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: can relate to that? 414 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a year hiatus and I have to say, yeah, 415 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: I loved it. It took you know, you get into 416 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: it's almost like a muscle. You're flexing when you're posting, 417 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: and you're you're sharing and you're and then when it 418 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: bites you in the ass, there is a freedom to 419 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: walking away from it. I hate why and why he 420 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: had to do it, because you know, look, this is 421 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: a dude who I loved reading about the fact that 422 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: he's about to run a five k next month. I 423 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,719 Speaker 1: believe for charity, so it's for all the good reasons, 424 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: and he has been very public saying I think he's 425 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: already lost seventy pounds. I mean, we are always applauding 426 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: better health choices and taking it on and owning it 427 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: and being proud of it and inspiring other people and 428 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: doing so, but sadly, in doing so, people always have 429 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: to make comments, and the comments about his weight it 430 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: was counterproductive and I can only imagine what that must 431 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: feel like. I mean, Flavor Fight Flave just came out 432 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: and said, y'all just took a beautiful sweet man and 433 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: he fled social media because of y'all, Like, what are 434 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: you doing? 435 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 2: Why? 436 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 3: The hate? 437 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 2: Why? 438 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: And there's like not a nicer guy, and that's what 439 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: everyone is saying. I don't know him personally, but everyone 440 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: who has spoken of him speaks so highly of him 441 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: and what he's trying to accomplish. And it's just it's 442 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: sad and sick to me that people jump on that, Oh. 443 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: Look his struggle, his journey has been well documented and 444 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: applaud him for being out there about it and his 445 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 2: success right now, Oh, his talent, but his success, it's 446 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 2: just you you I don't know.

I 461 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: am shying away from it for those reasons. It's not 462 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 2: a matter of Korean public public eye. We expect criticism, 463 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 2: we get it. But there's a difference between criticizing I 464 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 2: didn't like how you did that interview, why didn't you 465 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 2: ask about this, versus you're an idiot, You're you should 466 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: go to You're going to burn in hell for how 467 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: you handle it.

I get that 501 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: you put yourself out there. You have to be you know, 502 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: ready to handle criticism. 503 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 2: I get that there's a difference between criticism and hate. 504 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 2: Seeing critique and bullying, there's a totally different thing, and 505 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 2: that different thing, that other thing is. I think what 506 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 2: has run jelly rolled off? It's run some people off. 507 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 2: But I don't know how much thicker skin. 508 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we don't post as much. I don't 509 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: post anywhere near as much. 510 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 2: I don't at all.

It's just I don't know. That's 516 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 2: that's too bad, And that's people people got on that 517 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 2: gown to me, but they saw all years prior. He's 518 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 2: not posting about his marriage. He's not posting about his wife. 519 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 2: There was a reason for that, right, and then because 520 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 2: something wasn't going well, because I wasn't trying to put 521 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 2: on a false impression that everything was cool. Now that 522 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 2: everything is great, I'm still holding back right because of that, 523 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 2: and that just that sucks. I'm embarrassed if that's the case, 524 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: but it is. Yes, they yes, you people out there 525 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: who pick up your phones, unlock them, click on an app, 526 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 2: then go find our page, then click the comment, write 527 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 2: something hateful, hit send, and then go back to whatever 528 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 2: you were doing. For that, you all actually are having 529 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: an impact on how we behave day and day out 530 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: of our lives. And that's that's too bad. It's the truth. 531 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I'm not proud of it. I wish 532 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,719 Speaker 1: I could and I'll be fine, but it's just I was. 533 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: I was mad at myself for caringpen. 534 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 2: You're human beings, You're humans. 535 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 3: It's time to hear her side of the story. 536 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: I love the show so much.

Of course, that's you know, 568 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: part of being a performer and entertainer. You know that 569 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: people are gonna either like or not like it, but 570 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: it's it's gotten to a point where it's just it's 571 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: it's just to say it's not kind is even an 572 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: under statement. It's bullying, as you pointed out, like you 573 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: can bully a celebrity. I actually really believe that. I 574 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: think some people think that that's not a thing, but 575 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: it is a. 576 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: Thing, because you know, a lot of people will disagree 577 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: with what you just said. That you are celebrity, you 578 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 2: are rich and famous, you got a burken bag on 579 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: your arm. What do you have to complain about? You 580 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: mad that I sent a nasty com You can't handle that, 581 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 2: I think. But what was important in what you said 582 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 2: was that you can bully a celebrity, And you can 583 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 2: bully a celebrity, but it's hard to bully a mother. 584 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: It's hard to bully a wife. It's hard to bully 585 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: a husband. It's hard to bully an uncle. It's hard 586 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 2: to be when you call people by what they really are, 587 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: which is a human being, you're not so quick to 588 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: do so. You have to dehumanize the person first. She's 589 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: just a celebrity, she's another she's a thing, she's a 590 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: That's the only way you can talk about people because 591 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: if you talk about people, if you see them as 592 00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 2: a human being, as a mother, who's who hurts or 593 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 2: you just wouldn't talk about people that way. So to 594 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 2: your yes, I agree with what you're saying, but people 595 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: are going to take issue with it because no, Bellie, 596 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: you can't bullieve celebrity. You're out there in the public. 597 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,719 Speaker 2: Of course, we can say anything you want to say 598 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 2: about you. 599 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: It's almost as if you become public property and public fodder, 600 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: and you almost not. I'm not going to say that 601 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,479 Speaker 1: people think you deserve it, but certainly they think you 602 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: should be able to handle it. But we're all you know. 603 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: I always tell the girls this too, and I when 604 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: stuff like this comes up, when we talk about it, 605 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: I say, it doesn't matter who you are. You have feelings, 606 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 1: you have a heart, you have you know you have, 607 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: no matter how thick your skin is. Just because you've 608 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: chosen a career to perform or to be in the 609 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,239 Speaker 1: public eye doesn't mean that you deserve to handle or 610 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: to deal with hatred. That's a whole other, a whole 611 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: other kind of worms that I don't think you can 612 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: equate to. As you point out a human being, it's 613 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: I think it's just easy to put people in a 614 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: box or up on a pedestal, and it's fun to 615 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: knock them down. It's fun to see them fall. But 616 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: having been in that position, I think, you know, I've 617 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: always we've known that as human beings, but the empathy 618 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: is even greater, and it doesn't matter who you are, 619 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how much money you make, it doesn't 620 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: matter where you live. I still think that it's important 621 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: for us all to remember that we're human beings, and 622 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: my god, I hope we can treat each other better 623 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,280 Speaker 1: than I've seen online. 624 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, on Analyse was the one who was talking 625 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: about this over the past few weeks, and then it 626 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 2: got us curious enough to where we finally watched This 627 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 2: Is Me Now her movie. It's promoting her album, promoting 628 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 2: her essentially her love story or her love story with 629 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 2: Ben Athletic, but also just her relationships. Her a love addict. 630 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: She is exploring, you know, and look, you know she's 631 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: had three husbands, and I guess she's had three divorces. 632 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: Excuse me. Ben is her fourth husband, and everyone her public, 633 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: her relationships, you know, her engagements, it's all been obviously 634 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: in the public, and I think she she wanted to explain, 635 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, her life and her goal and she said 636 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: when she was a little girl that when she grew up, 637 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: she wanted to be a woman in love and so 638 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: that was kind of what motivated her. And yes, she's 639 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, had issues along the way, haven't we all. 640 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: And she put it out there and people can comment, 641 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: and I get that, but I just think the level 642 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 1: to which they've commented that the ridicule has just gone 643 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: way above and beyond just an opinion about a movie 644 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: or an opinion about music. That's fine. Everyone can music, 645 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: that's fine. 646 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: But we like the movie that's great. 647 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: Agreed, and we all have opinions about that, but you 648 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: don't have to be cruel about it. 649 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: So, yeah, it was just something about it. In watching 650 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 2: that video, which you can see she can go that 651 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 2: means she's just a ridiculous entertainer. She's unbelievable. But to 652 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 2: go through it and see your heart, at least me, 653 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: heart kind of hurts for to see what maybe she 654 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 2: felt she was trying to accomplish completely backfired and now 655 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: here this thing is it just it is something about 656 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: it that was relatable to us to a certain degree. 657 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: But heart goes out to her. So with all that, folks, 658 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: all you can say there is it doesn't matter if 659 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 2: it's j Low, it doesn't matter, if that's the person 660 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 2: at the checkout counter. It doesn't matter if there's somebody 661 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 2: on the street, on the bus, wherever, somebody's everybody's going 662 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 2: through something. And I always say it, just give folks 663 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of a break. 664 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 1: And you know what, Mom said it best if you 665 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all. 666 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 2: Oh I didn't have anything nice, so I stopped
