To have a July 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: birthday Me and Mick Jagger, who I'm BFFs with, both 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: on the twenty sixth, and it's exactly half the year. 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: Well, happy birthday, Chris Harrison July twenty sixth, and we 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: do a full birthday. 27 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: Week before that though, we had a great event at 28 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: our house. As people probably know, both our kids go 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: to TCU. We have a senior and now a sophomore, 30 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: which is hard to believe, but we were asked by 31 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: the folks at TCU if we would host the local 32 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: Austin Welcome to TCU for all the incoming freshmen, and 33 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: so all the kids from around the Greater Austin round 34 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Rock Bernie area came to our house for a little 35 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: mixer and it was really cool. 36 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: It was wonderful. 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,639 Speaker 2: Look, we had sixty five seventy people at my house 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: our house. 39 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 3: Was I overwhelmed, No, not at all? Was it. 40 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 2: Everything was great. My mom came into help, which was awesome. 41 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: And you're so good with my mom because you are 42 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: like when my mom's great at parties, but she's very 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 2: the captain of the ship. And I got to give 44 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: Chris Harrison credit. You are so good at just being 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: first mate. You let her tell you what to do, 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: You let her organize an order, and even if you 47 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: know an ideas maybe not great, you kind of just 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: let it ride until she realizes it herself. And I 49 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 2: think that's a lesson that comes with maturity. Correct me 50 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, tell me if you were like that 51 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: years ago. 52 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: But I think it's there is a learned skill to 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: take second chair, even when you think, say it's your 54 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: house and you know you want it to be your 55 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: domain or whatever, learning that this is how she speaks 56 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: her love. This is her love language, taking care of us, cooking, 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: creating things and being in the kitchen and all that. 58 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: And so instead of, you know, maybe when you're younger, 59 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: taking a fence to how people act at your house. 60 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 1: And I know it's difficult when family comes into town 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: because they're in your space and all that, but maybe 62 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: just see try and take a step back. What are 63 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: they really saying? And your mom kind of like my mom, 64 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: that's their love language. And so it means a lot 65 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: to me that she loves you so much that she 66 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: wanted to come into town. But it definitely is something 67 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: that I had to learn from experience, and you know, 68 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: when you're younger, you're like, oh, my mom or my 69 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: dad or my brother drives me crazy because. 70 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 2: They're trying to control me always in my business. But 71 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 2: you're right if you can see what's really motivating them, 72 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: and they're not being motivated by control, they're being motivated 73 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: by a need to be needed. 74 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: By wanting to find space in your life. Yeah, that 75 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: they really don't have me. I can already see it 76 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: with my kids. I don't fill the same space that 77 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: I used to because they don't need me like that 78 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: because I did my job. So they grow, they become independent, 79 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: and then you long for that, so you have to 80 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: find different ways to get it. 81 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: Well, when you think about the longevity of that, I mean, 82 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: we always want people to bounce back quickly, but the 83 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: reality is you've been a parent for eighteen year years 84 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden they had to college 85 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: and you're supposed to not need to be needed anymore. 86 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: And it was great though, because everyone was so lovely. 87 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: I mean, neither of us nor my mom went to TCU, 88 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 2: but my mom even said, Wow, all those TCU parents 89 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: and kids were so great. The kids were awesome, and 90 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: it was really wonderful to see. Actually, one of the 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: other parents said to me, well, you know what's great 92 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: about this this kids can connect on social media now, 93 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 2: but events like this actually kind of make them hang 94 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: out in person. And it's so cool that the school 95 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: does different gathering so the kids can get to know 96 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: each other. 97 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: So it was awesome and it was good to see 98 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: the parents actually nervous. The parents are just as nervous 99 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: as the kids. But two hours after this party. 100 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: Ended, listen, we raged and I had Afternoon Suarez. 101 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: We had a wardrobe change, we went from purple to pink, 102 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: and we went to Barbie. 103 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 3: We should have started this podcast with Hi Barbie. 104 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: I ken, wait, no, that was me. We did a 105 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: pod about this last week about Oppenheimer coming out, the 106 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: three hour Christopher Nolan thriller and then the Greta Gerwig 107 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:11,239 Speaker 1: comedy very much the Barbie movie heartfelt comedy, and I 108 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: kind of made the proclamation that a rising tide will 109 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: lift all boats, and that is what happened at the 110 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 1: box office. They both were massive successes. 111 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: And I am so happy to see it because I 112 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: think I'd actually pulled back a little bit on reading 113 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: the headlines because when this whole Oppenheimer Barbie thing first happened. 114 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: The headlines were about the movies being pitted against each other, 115 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,559 Speaker 2: like there's this big history of Christopher Nolan always opens 116 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: his movies on the same weekend in July. But for Oppenheimer, 117 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: he switched studios and his old studios, Warner Brothers decides 118 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: they're going to open Barbie on Chris Nolan's weekend, and 119 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: it was sort of perceived as this slight and it 120 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: became a competitive thing, which movie is going to do better? 121 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 3: What was so great? 122 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: And I don't know if I sound crazy, but can 123 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: we all take a lesson from Barbenheimer when these two 124 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: movies came together, when the narrative became about, oh do 125 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: the double features. See Oppenheimer in the morning, Barbie in 126 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: the afternoon, We're black and pink. 127 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: They both did great. 128 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: Like I actually read that Oppenheimer benefited a little bit 129 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: because some Barbie showings were sold out. 130 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: Oh funny. 131 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 2: I think because people had heard about Barbenheimer and all 132 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: this press and they thought, oh, well, let's just go 133 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: see Oppenheimer and. 134 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: So but I think a lot of people, like myself, 135 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: I'm going to see both. I have not seen Oppenheimer 136 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: yet we didn't have time because we left on this trip, 137 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: but I will see both. We just chose because our 138 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: daughter was in town. We saw Barbie first. 139 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: Hsen, Babe, you were surrounded by the ladies, and I. 140 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: Got to give I had such a good dyey. I 141 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: went with four ladies and in four Barbies and four barbies, 142 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: and we all got dressed up. 143 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: Yep, Chris wore pink. He had a pink shirt that 144 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: had roses on it. So it was very apropos that, 145 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 3: very on brand. 146 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 2: I was seeing on on social media that some people, 147 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: like some younger people were saying, wow, so cool to 148 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 2: have like two big movies in one weekend, and then older. 149 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: People are like, this is how it used to be. 150 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: So I hope it was a resurgence to the eventizing 151 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 2: of movies. 152 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: Like our theater was packed packed, and people. 153 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: Were wearing pink, and people used to like I remember 154 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: when the Star Wars prequels came out, people dressed up 155 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: like they were wearing. 156 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: They brought lightsabers to the theater. 157 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: And even though it didn't do as good, but people 158 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: were there for Barbie, people were there for Oppenheimer. People 159 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: were still going to mission impossible. So it was packed 160 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: all around, which was great. It was just nice to 161 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: have so many great fun movies out. You had choices again. 162 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: And it was nice to do something together and to 163 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: realize that by these two movies kind of playing into 164 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: each other. And look, here's how Hollywood's gonna work. Studios 165 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: and pr people are going to try to recreate the 166 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: Barbenheimer effect in the marketing moment. And you can't like, 167 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: this was a viral happenstance thing, but what it was 168 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 2: born out of. This happenstance was born out of Tom Cruise, 169 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: Margot Robbie and other and the people. 170 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: Involved in these movies. 171 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: They would post on social media, Hey, I just bought 172 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: my ticket for Oppenheimer. I bought my ticket for Barbie. 173 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: And they literally did that because they want the box office. 174 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: To do well. 175 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 2: And so it is this good overall lesson of when 176 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: you operate from a place of supporting. 177 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: Each other, everybody does better. 178 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: And I think it's it's a good thing to note 179 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: in a very what continues to be a very tumultuous 180 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: time in our country. 181 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: I read something today that was really interesting that things 182 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: change with a surprising success. More so than they do 183 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: a big flop. And what I mean by that is 184 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: in the industry, if there's a big flop, it'll change 185 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: the industry, like, Okay, no more of those action movies, 186 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: or no more of those thrilled whatever and so. But 187 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: this person was saying that a surprise success is even 188 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: more of a game changer. And what that means, hopefully 189 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: is that. And I'm not poo pooing on these because 190 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: I do like them, but sequels too long running movies 191 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: like a Mission Impossible, like Indiana Jones, the Marvel, DC, 192 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: all the superhero movies, that is what everyone's been leaning 193 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: into for god ten years now. 194 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: I think we're burnt out. I do. 195 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 2: I mean, look, I love those movies to Iron Man 196 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: and some of the Avengers movies and all that. They're great, 197 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: they're funny, they're action packed. But I think we're burnt out. 198 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: I think we've reached the tipping point. 199 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: No longer do I feel like if I miss this 200 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: Marvel movie or DC movie, whatever, I'm really going to 201 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: be lost. 202 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 3: In fact, I feel like I can't watch all of them. 203 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: I can't keep up with it because they also started 204 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: doing you've got to see the TV shows that are 205 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 2: on the streamers to know what's happening in the next movie. 206 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: I can't consume all this. We've reached burnout, and I 207 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: think the quality of the movies is getting worse. I mean, 208 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: I'll be honest. I like taichoidt, I like Chris Hemsworth, 209 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: but I saw the most recent thour it wasn't as 210 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 2: good as the ones in the past. 211 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: There's a movie and again I don't I'm not trying 212 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: to dog it, but there's a movie coming out that 213 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: we saw Blue Beetle. We saw the ads for it, 214 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: the trailer, and I'm like, oh man. 215 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 2: It's just I'm like, I've never heard of this superhero 216 00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 2: we're at this point, but. 217 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: It's Spider Man. It's the story of Spider Man, except 218 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: it's a beatle. 219 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: I do hope that what studios take away from this 220 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: is that original, interesting movies do well. Because let's point 221 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: something out here. Now that the numbers are in, everybody's saying, oh, 222 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: this is for Greta Gerwig, for example, this is the 223 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 2: biggest opening ever for a female director, or for Chris Nolan, 224 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: this is his biggest opening ever. This is the reality 225 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: the box office amidst all the talk about how movies 226 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: are dying just powered to it's I'm quoting Variety here, 227 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 2: fourth biggest weekend in history, all of history. 228 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: So this was the foorth essentially two and a half, 229 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: well four decent films on the radar right now if 230 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: you include Mission Impossible and Sound of Freedom along with 231 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: Oppenheimer and Barbie. 232 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: But these weren't superhero movies. These weren't franchise movies. I 233 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: saw a quote from somebody at Warner Brothers who said, 234 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: this shows the power of Barbie. Yes, but please don't 235 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: start inundating us with movies based on every single toy 236 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: we ever grew up with. I think what it shows 237 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: is that people want to get back to that time 238 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: where movies touch them, where they laughed. I mean I 239 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 2: cried in Barbie. So many people say they cried at 240 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 2: the end where they walked away thinking about the movie 241 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: I miss. You know, I think about movies I grew 242 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 2: up with. I still quote those movies, movies of the 243 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: past decade or so. I can't think of many that 244 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: I walk around quoting or rewatching all the time. 245 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: And I know there is politics involved in everything we 246 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: do these days, and there are opinions that controversy. It's just, 247 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, with Oppenheimer, there's plenty of it. With Barbie, 248 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: I saw plenty of it. I'll tell you I went. 249 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: Not only was I not offended, I just I had 250 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: a great time. I laughed. Look, not everything hit the mark, 251 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: but this is her take on it. And I loved 252 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: historically how they brought in kind of the old canceled 253 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,319 Speaker 1: or discontinued Barbie's and they threw some historical moments from 254 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: mattel In. I liked it. I'm sorry, and I'm gonna 255 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: say the same thing probably about Oppenheimer. 256 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, for anybody who was saying I will give 257 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: my opinion. I think there were some people who said 258 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: Barbie is anti man, you know, and then that's played 259 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: up in the media because they need clickbait headlines. But 260 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 2: if you see it, no, I don't think it's anti 261 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: man at all. In fact, what it is is anti 262 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: putting people in a box. 263 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 3: It says that we are more than our gender whoever 264 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 3: we are. 265 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 2: We are human and we should know who we are 266 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: and what we want to make in this world. And 267 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 2: that shouldn't be defined by labels. It should be defined 268 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: by you as a human being and we all have 269 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: that same human experience. 270 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 3: So that's what I took away from the movie. 271 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: I agree, and I went into it going, oh, okay, 272 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 1: look out for this because I had heard about it. 273 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: Not only was I not offended, I was I laughed, 274 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: I was impressed. I enjoyed it. I love sharing it 275 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: with my daughter, who came out with her own opinions 276 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: of it and took a lot of different things away 277 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: from it, and it was a great family experience. Enjoy 278 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: the movie, go to the theater. 279 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 3: All right. With that, I will say bye. 280 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: Ken, Bye Barbie. Oh before you go. We do have 281 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: this very interesting story that we're going to continue on 282 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: the other side of the break. Miranda Lambert was hosting 283 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: a concert. She was giving a concert in Las Vegas. 284 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: Stop the show in the middle of it to really 285 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: kind of verbally undress these women who are taking selfies 286 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of her show. Now to paint a picture, 287 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: because this is a podcast and we're not watching, we're listening. 288 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: It's not your typical concert where everybody was standing in 289 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: a stadium. 290 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 3: Vegas has these intimate shows.

Then you have two rows of VIP benches 340 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 4: with tables, and those rows are more like cocktail tables. 341 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 4: They also give you complimentary champagne. And behind the two 342 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 4: rows of VIP then it's the main seating, which is 343 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 4: more like a regular concerts. 344 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: I actually hosted Miss America there for many years. I 345 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: remember that theater very well, but it looked like you 346 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: guys were in that VIP area. 347 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 4: Correct. 348 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: Yes, kudos by the way to forget those tickets and 349 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: the bottom service. 350 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 4: Very lucky. I believe I bought them right when the 351 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 4: concert dates were announced, and as soon as they went 352 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 4: on sale, I was on ticket Master buying the tickets. 353 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: Because you're so you're a Miranda Lambert fan. 354 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 4: I love for music. Also, my husband and I like 355 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 4: to go to almost virtually every concert. We can get 356 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 4: tickets too, because Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of 357 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 4: the world, so we enjoy going out on weekends. 358 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: So you're at the Miranda Lambert concert, you have the 359 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: VIP ticket, You're sitting there presumably your husband's there is 360 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: that who was taking the picture? 361 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 4: No, my husband happened to be out of town, so 362 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 4: I decided to invite some of my girlfriends and making 363 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 4: a girls' night. 364 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: So it's girls night, and that's who we see in 365 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: the picture with you that was put up on Instagram 366 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: and then taking around the world. Really, so tell me 367 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: from your perspective what happened. 368 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 4: The concert start is the typical Saturday night fun Las Vegas. 369 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: The energy is starting to get really high in the theater. 370 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 4: People all throughout the theater are standing up or sometimes dancing, 371 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 4: taking pictures and videos, and me and my other friends 372 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 4: are doing the exact same thing everybody else is doing everywhere. 373 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 4: We are having a great time. And suddenly, at some 374 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 4: point during the concert, as we are trying to take 375 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 4: a group picture and people are right next to us, 376 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 4: you're taking a selfie video. But suddenly the concert stops. 377 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 4: Me and my friends are being called out and we 378 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 4: are being told to set down. 379 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: It was so instead of a picture, what you thought 380 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: you were going to take a picture, the person pressed 381 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: video so instantly the light came on. Is that why 382 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: the light was on? 383 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 4: I believe we took the picture with a friend's phone, 384 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 4: and I believe she turned the flash on because the 385 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 4: concert started. We were trying to take a group picture 386 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 4: of all us ladies, but the lighting was not very good, 387 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 4: and I think she realized we had to use the 388 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 4: flash to take a good group picture. 389 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: So you're taking a picture, I think you, and you're 390 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: at four or five other girlfriends. The flash is on, 391 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, when did you realize Miranda 392 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: Lambert is on stage talking to you. 393 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 4: As we are turning and we're just about to sit down, 394 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 4: we realized, oh, the concert has stopped, and this is 395 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 4: because me and my friends did something. 396 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: And what was that moment of realization? 397 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 4: Like for you, anybody will get ready in the face. 398 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 4: You have to have very tough skin not to feel embarrassed. 399 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 4: And after a couple of seconds passed, I was trying 400 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 4: to clear my mind, and I thought, the last time 401 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 4: I was told to sit down is when I was 402 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 4: in school and the teacher told me to sit down 403 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 4: because me and my friends did something that annoyed her. 404 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: What was and I don't even know if you remember 405 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: this because it probably happened so quick, But what do 406 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: you remember as the reaction from the crowd when she 407 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: was saying that where because I've heard and seen different 408 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: videos and some people were applauding. Some people didn't like 409 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: it and left. So, in your mind, what was the 410 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: reaction when Miranda Lambert told you to sit down? 411 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 4: I think because everything happened pretty quickly, and the energy 412 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: was so high in the theater leading to that moment, 413 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,959 Speaker 4: and people were just cheering. I think people were cheering 414 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 4: just because Miranda Lambert was speaking. They're just trying to 415 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 4: have a good time. Some people were realizing what's happening, 416 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 4: and some people left after. Obviously, every the concert did stop. 417 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 4: I did try to look a little bit around everybody 418 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 4: that sat down. Everybody did stop taking pictures. I felt 419 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 4: that we were just singled out. I felt like she 420 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 4: was just bothered by everybody taking pictures and videos. Just 421 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 4: I couldn't understand why we were singled out. 422 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: Did she overreact in your opinion? Was it a bit much? 423 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 4: Yes, I've been I've been to so many concerts in 424 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 4: that very theater, and I mean there's thousands and thousands 425 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 4: of pictures and videos taken. I have never seen a 426 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 4: reaction like that. Ever. 427 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 1: Do you think it's because of your location of how 428 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 1: close you all were to the stage. You were in 429 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: her eyesight, I guess, and the flash was going off. 430 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: Do you think that was it? 431 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 4: I guess because we were writing the center and writing 432 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 4: the front was easier to make an example out of us. 433 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 4: That would be my guess. I don't know exactly what 434 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 4: she was thinking, and I know there's a lot of 435 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 4: talk about the flash. I have tried really hard for 436 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 4: the last week to see if there's truly no flash 437 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 4: palace in that theater. I've been to concerts before and 438 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 4: I've never heard the no flash policy being announced. I 439 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 4: also have tickets in the next couple of weeks to 440 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 4: Kelly Clarkson in that very theater, and I looked on 441 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 4: my tickets to see does he say no flash? And 442 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 4: I haven't found anywhere it says no flash. I even 443 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 4: googled the name of the theater no flash policy. I 444 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 4: couldn't find it anywhere. If there is, I have not 445 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 4: seen it. 446 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: Do you, as you look back on it, do you 447 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: regret it at all? Is there anything you would have 448 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: changed from your perspective? 449 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 4: If I was to regret something, everybody else in that 450 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 4: venue would have to regret taking pictures and videos, so 451 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 4: I don't see what there's to regret. 452 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: This was my take when I saw it. When I 453 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: saw Miranda Lambert speak out and there was instant applause, 454 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: and like you said, when you were at a concert 455 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: and the performer starts speaking, everyone just kind of starts yelling. 456 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: I think she was emboldened by that and like, I'm 457 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: going to keep going. And I think she probably, if 458 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: she would admit it now, may have gone a little 459 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: further than she even anticipated because she thought she was 460 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: riding this kind of wave of energy. But then people 461 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: started kind of turning on her, and that was the 462 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: interesting thing. And people left the show. I saw a 463 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: video of people leaving. I think your friends may have 464 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: even left, Is that right? 465 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 4: Yes, two of my friends got up and left. Two 466 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 4: of my other friends were nicer. They said we're going 467 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: to the ladies room. But me and one other friend 468 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 4: we stayed until the end. But the concert was about 469 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 4: to be over anyway, very. 470 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: You know one of the I think it would have 471 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: been great if Miranda had somehow sent security out to 472 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: you guys after the show and said, hey, stick around. 473 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: Miranda wanted to say hi to you, and you know, 474 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: I just think like, look, I know she did what 475 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: she felt was right, but I think it just would 476 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: have been a good pro move afterwards and said, hey, 477 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: you ladies, stick around, let's take a picture. I think 478 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: it would have fixed it would have solved everything. 479 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 4: It would have been nice. But I have learned that 480 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 4: she has done this in the past. She got annoyed 481 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 4: by audience members ticking pictures. So I think just something 482 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 4: in her she just doesn't like pictures and videos taken 483 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 4: during her concert. And that's okay. She doesn't like that. 484 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 4: Bruno Marsh doesn't like it. He made me and my 485 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 4: husband lack our phones in pouches. He makes everyone in 486 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 4: the audience lacks their phone in pouches, and the audience complies, 487 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 4: you're okay with that. As I said that before, nobody 488 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 4: goes to a concert wanting to annoy the performer. We 489 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 4: just want to have a great time. 490 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: You know, I did see one guy, and I'm sure 491 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: you are just as surprised as everybody of how this 492 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: is taken on a life of its own. I mean, 493 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: it's amazing how much this has really circled the globe 494 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: and become a thing. 495 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, And I ask myself exactly why maybe because 496 00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: there's this contrast between there's a celebrities performing on stage 497 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 4: and unfortunately fans through stuff at them. And then here's 498 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 4: the one instance when fans want to have a memory 499 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,479 Speaker 4: of this great concert. We have such amazing seats and 500 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 4: we want to have in the background in between us. 501 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 4: It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to do that. 502 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 4: And she gets upset by that when it's absolutely a 503 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 4: great compliment that we want to have a picture with her. 504 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: I saw someone, you know, some guy, and this is 505 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: what happened. Some guy goes I put it on TikTok. 506 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: Of course, I flew to Vegas just to take this 507 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: selfie at a Randa Lambert concert. And I'm like, guys, 508 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: come now, you just have these people copycat. They're trying 509 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: to go to her into stuff, and it's become a 510 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: whole thing. And so hopefully that part will stop for 511 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: you as you go to many more concerts and you 512 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: and your husband go to shows and stuff, will it 513 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: change you at all? Like WI, will you be more cautious? 514 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: Will you think twice before taking pictures from now on? No? 515 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 4: Again, I'm only what everybody else does in the whole audience, 516 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: taking I'll give you an example. One of the best 517 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 4: concerts I went to in that theater is the Backstreet 518 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 4: Boys concert and I believe in twenty nineteen, and I 519 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 4: have videos on my phone from that concert, and I 520 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 4: still watch those videos and I still look at those 521 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 4: pictures because they are such great memories. 522 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: If you could say something to Miranda Lambert, if she 523 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: was listening to this now, what would you want to 524 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: say to her? 525 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 4: She just has to decide if she likes pictures, if 526 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 4: she likes videos, or maybe she doesn't like pictures and 527 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 4: videos during one song. She just has to figure out 528 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 4: what's the policy she wants for her concerts and let 529 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 4: her fans know and we will comply. 530 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: Couldn't say it better myself, Adela, Thank you so much. 531 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: I really appreciate the time. 532 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 4: Oh thank you, having a great day. 533 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,959 Speaker 1: And enjoy all the shows coming up in Vegas. 534 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 4: Thank you. 535 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: So there you go. You know one of the women 536 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: that were at the center of this Miranda Lambert controversy, 537 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 1: and it was interesting to hear her take. She stands 538 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: behind everything she did and would do it again. Be 539 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: interesting to know where you fall in this is Miranda 540 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: Lambert in the right here to demand that respect at 541 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 1: her shows and to say what she said and do 542 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: what she did in that moment and call out fans 543 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: or was she out of line? And were these people 544 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: well within their right to sit there in those VIP seats, 545 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: get that bottle service and take the pictures. I think 546 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: the interesting thing about this and why it has created 547 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: such controversy is everybody has a very strong opinion, but 548 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 1: it's not all the same. Some people are team Miranda, 549 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: some are team Adela and her crew. So let us 550 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: know where you land.
