1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: Uh, did you have a shout out? You want to

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: take it? And I wanted to say hello, good morning,

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: whatever time it is to my girl Ronda, that's my mom.

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: My mom listens every episode and told me in chip

5
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: that last week it was way better that we were

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: in person. We're already like, it's nine thirty in the morning.

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: This is early for us, and it's not true, but

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: we're like giggling, maybe we should do it in the

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: morning tomorrow. I actually we were supposed to record last night,

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: and I was so brain dead by the end of

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: the day that I was really grateful. Why are you smiling?

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful that we did it. Decided to do

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: it this morning because I am also in a good mood.

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: You know what else happened today? Mars went out of retrograde.

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of aggressive energy with that, and so

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: we've been in a backwards pool, um, you know, just

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: going through different things like that, and so stepping in

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: today maybe that's why we feel a little bit lighter

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: mercury and I feel like it's always in retrograde. Well,

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm not actually an astrologer. I don't know if you

21
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: know that about me. I talked about it a lot,

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: but I'm not actually an astrologer and oh yeah yeah,

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: it's at least three or four I want to say, um,

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: but yeah, so anyway, what up, mom? Hi, I'm glad

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: you like a better in person, and I think most

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: of our responses actually are that the energy is just better.

27
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: Yeah it really is. Yeah yeah. Um. So we were

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: talking there's a little bit of like I was kind

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: of bumping up against I don't know how I want

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: to introduce this topic because this pop Culture Week here,

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: and there's one topic that I don't think that you

32
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: could live in this world right now and avoid, like

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: if you like you literally must live under the biggest

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: rock if you don't know about this. And we're talking

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: about Prince Harry and Megan um and so we really

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: felt like we can't not talk about this. But I

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: also I'm really tired of even contru beating to this

38
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: like divisive, opinionated nature that's happening in our world, and

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: it's exhausting to me, Like even researching for this, I

40
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: was very much like do we want to do this?

41
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: You know, like because it's just everyone giving their opinion

42
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: and that's so old, Like I'm so tired of that um,

43
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: but we were able to kind of come up with

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: this idea because everything we do within a month is

45
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: typically based off of our words of the month, our

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: themes of the month, and this month we have chosen

47
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: the words dare and purpose. The year. Well, I was

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: about to get to that, but because those are Chip

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: and Eye words for the year. So my word was

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: dare and we discussed that last week. If you guys

51
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: haven't listened to the podcast, each year I said an intention,

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: and Chip has started doing this as well for the year,

53
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: like an overall energy of the year that I want

54
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: to walk into. We talked about last month last year,

55
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: how our words really did play out in the way

56
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: that our lives went, and so I really believe in

57
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: this process. I think it's almost like a manifesting type

58
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: of thing. And my word is dare. Chip's word is purpose.

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: And regardless of where you stand with Harry and Megan,

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: I do not think that you could deny that there

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: is a lot of daring and there is a lot

62
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: of purpose going on behind what's happening right now. Would

63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: you agree with that? I mean, look, I have always

64
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 1: had friends that were obsessed with the royals, and I've

65
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: never gotten it. I literally could give two ships to me.

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: It's this big reality show. Well it's literally like the

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: Kardashians are ours. That's what I always say. Um. But

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: over Christmas, I did watch the Netflix special, just not

69
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: a curiosity like and not even because I wanted to

70
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: have an opinion on it, you know, like everyone was

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: talking about I'm gonna watch it, and I was like

72
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: really moved by their relationship, you know, like because I

73
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: felt like everything that I had seen up until that

74
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: point was literally just opinions of them and this. And

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: I know they produced it, they had their hand in

76
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: like the outcome of it, which you know I would

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: too if I were them, because that was they lost

78
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: control of that. I never not get the executive producers.

79
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: You've heard me say that before, but I'll say it again.

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, I finally sort of understood

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: them as people, not as public figures, just as two

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: people in love. And I kind of loved that, um

83
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: And it made me have UM And I like, again,

84
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I had no opinion, so but it like made me

85
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: had compassion for them that you know, I've never had

86
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: before because I didn't care, you know, I didn't I

87
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: didn't have vitriol. I didn't I just didn't have an opinion.

88
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: But I do think it's a really beautiful love story,

89
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: and I think it's like it's really sad and painful

90
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: to watch it be dissected by people that like, literally

91
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: I have nothing to do with it, don't you know?

92
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: Like everyone feels like they're owed something from these two people,

93
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: um and um, including just honesty and um. Yeah. And

94
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: from where I sit, it looks like they're being honest.

95
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: It sounds like they're being It feels like they're being

96
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: honest and um. And granted I also am not one

97
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: of those people that was like an Internet sloth that

98
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: has like done all the digging and tried to find

99
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: pull up old quotes and ship um. But to me,

100
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,239
Speaker 1: it feels like, um, you know, they are being honest,

101
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: and now that they are, people are like trying to

102
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: prove that they're not being honesty. UM. I don't want

103
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: to be part of that problem me either. And I mean,

104
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: I think the big thing to remember always is that

105
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: as much as we can have opinions on the information

106
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: we're being presented, no one knows except for those people

107
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: what's actually going on. And I just always feel like

108
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: I want to make that point because my brain even

109
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: gets sucked into it, and you think you know these people,

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 1: and especially people who live very public lives like them

111
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: to where we've been dissecting that, like Prince Harry. He

112
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: has been in the public eye since he was born,

113
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: literally the day after he was born or something exactly,

114
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: and so you feel you do feel like you know them,

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: and you do have this sense of entitlement over their life,

116
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: even if we don't want to say that we do.

117
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: I think there is some sort of subconscious programming to that.

118
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: It's the same as people feel about reality stars, like, oh,

119
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: we see their life play out on TV. Now you don't,

120
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: by the way, you just don't like And I've I'm

121
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: so guilty of this too. I'm not just saying this

122
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: like to every other everyone else. Um, I think I've

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: experienced another flip side now and so it kind of

124
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: jolts me into a different place with it is like

125
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: you just simply don't know. And so I've also been

126
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: very drawn to this. I've never been obsessed with the royals.

127
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: I do remember when Princess Diana died being very sad

128
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: and like knowing that that was a really big bad

129
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: deal kind of because of the way it went down,

130
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: in the way my parents were responding and just being

131
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: there witnessing it was sad. It was just a sad thing.

132
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: But that's about as far as the royal interest has

133
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: gone for me until now. I have become obsessed. Like

134
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: I think I've watched almost every interview that they have done,

135
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: specifically it's been Harry Right now, I'm reading the book,

136
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: which is great. Oh my god. I did the audio

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: book because I like the way he talks too, so

138
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: it's like perfect, perfect background. But it's just so fascinating.

139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, their life is fascinating. I have really become

140
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: very drawn to him because I can see how much

141
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: work that I think he's done, Like he talks openly

142
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: about therapy and psychedelics and similar stuff that I talk about,

143
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: but I see it translating into the way he's being

144
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: like giving interviews, and so I'm in awe. I'm just like,

145
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: to me, what drew me to both of them is

146
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: the word dare and daring, and I find what they're

147
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: doing to be so fascinating. But also I'm I can't

148
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: think of another word besides all, what's another word. I'm

149
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god. I mean, you can't really

150
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: replace it. Yeah, but I understand. I think how difficult

151
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: what they're doing is, and the way that they're able

152
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: to verbalize what happened, um, speak about it in a

153
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: way that you can tell they're angry, but they're not

154
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: being vicious, Like it doesn't feel dirty to me. I

155
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: think they feel like I think they're more hurt, yeah,

156
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: but but anger comes out because and I think that

157
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: like the anger is towards the British Press, the hurt

158
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: is towards the family. Maybe yeah, you know, but they're

159
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of one and the same. They call they call

160
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the British press the third leg of the the UK government. Um,

161
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: you know. I it's it's funny because I feel like

162
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 1: as a general, the public feels like particularly probably the

163
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: British public, but you know, anyone who's invested in the Royals,

164
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: like they probably feel the same way. But like, because

165
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: they are public servants, they feel like they're owed something

166
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: and so um and obviously incredibly wealthy and privileged and

167
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: all interesting that you just call them servants though well,

168
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean they are a public servant, like they It's

169
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: weird because you would call the presidents a public servant

170
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: to you know, it's like, yeah, I just don't think

171
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: we're any human in that capacity. Yet we confuse that

172
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: right and you know they live they live an incredibly

173
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: privileged life off of tax pair dollars all that stuff. UM,

174
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: And so seemingly that should translate to um, he has

175
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: a lot to lose, and he's choosing on purpose to

176
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: walk away from it because of his truth. And I

177
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: think that anyone who can't see that is choosing not

178
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: to it is UM. I just can't understand why anyone

179
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: would think that he is lying about this, like and

180
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 1: still think that like he's privileged because it's like he

181
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: is giving up a lot of I mean, and granted

182
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: he is still more wealthy than people will ever be UM.

183
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: Because the story is really interesting. So Netflix paid them

184
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars for this all the content they're

185
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: going to get, and I think you got twenty million

186
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: for the book. But I think what you made a

187
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: really good point before we started recording. Do you want

188
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: to talk about that a little bit about just I

189
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: think when people hear those numbers specifically even or you know,

190
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: maybe the fact that people are just interested in him,

191
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: and people get jealous of that, Like people are fascinated

192
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: with him, and so they're always going to want to

193
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: know about his life. And then there's other people in

194
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: this world who are working so hard to make people care.

195
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: So there is some sort of sense of jealousy. Maybe, Yeah,

196
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: I look. I thought about that this morning, and my

197
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: only explanation that I can come up with is that

198
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: the general populace puts rich and famous sort of at

199
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: the pinel pinnacle of success, fame even over rich, because

200
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people assume that if you're famous,

201
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: you are rich, and that could not be further for

202
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: them exactly. Um so um. If you are rich and famous,

203
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 1: you literally are the pinnacle of success. And most people

204
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: don't even know what that means. They just see it

205
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: and they see people talking about and they see people

206
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: on magazines and on TV, and so they have an

207
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: idea of what they think it is. And I think

208
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: because we look at it as the pinnacle of success,

209
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 1: those of us who don't have it, there's some jealousy,

210
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: and that's where the expectations of it. Even if you

211
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: don't know there's jealousy, there is something because it looks

212
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: really fun. Who doesn't want to be rich, who doesn't

213
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: want to be famous? Let me tell you you don't

214
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: want to be famous? It is not all that it's

215
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: cracked up to. There are perks like you can't deny that,

216
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: and getting to go to cool events or backstage places

217
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: and all these things that does. That is a part

218
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: of it, but there's a lot that comes with it

219
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: that I don't think. I mean, these two are a

220
00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: perfect example, like the exact opposite of what can happen um,

221
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: and there is zero controlling that zero controlling. Like I

222
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: was as I was telling you, I was watching the

223
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert interview this morning, and if you guys haven't

224
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: watched that with Prince Harry, it's a really good interview

225
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 1: because he gets to the bottom of some stuff and

226
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: talks about the book a lot. But he also is

227
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: like obviously really funny because it's Stephen Colbert and Harry

228
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: is really funny. So he's just very likable, Like I

229
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: just really like him, um from what I'm seeing in interviews,

230
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: but he's nice to look out to. He is so cute.

231
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: It's so interesting because when I was a kid, I

232
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: had a crush on William Like also William was my

233
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: age be whore. That hair went bye bye, yeah, and

234
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: then things shifted. He's changed well. He does also scowl

235
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: a lot, like he just looks and Harry, he seems

236
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: light and happy. I think you're right, Um, But I

237
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: was watching that interview and and then I was kind

238
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: of reading some articles about it, and they were talking

239
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: about how Harry has had two really up security since

240
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: the book came out because of that one thing he's

241
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: mentioned about killing Taliban member of the Taliban, and Um,

242
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: it's taken completely out of context and a lot of

243
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: the stories that were written about it before the book

244
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: came out, but it puts a target on his back,

245
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: and so they've had to like really up security and

246
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: he has armed guards walking around with him everywhere. And

247
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: that's the stuff people don't think about. Being scared to

248
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: leave your house or like getting death threats like that

249
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: is something that I've never You cannot explain what it

250
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: feels like, but it feels it is. It's like being

251
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: trapped in your own body, like and and then like

252
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: constantly living in fear, not being able to be comfortable

253
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: in any capacity, like literally, it's just a crazy person

254
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: on the internet doesn't your nervous system doesn't translate that,

255
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: like there is some sort of sense of like I'm

256
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: not okay to where you can't fully relax no matter

257
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: what you're doing, and that is weird, Like being in

258
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: your own house not being able to relax is a

259
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: weird fucking feeling. But you know what it takes. It

260
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: takes being daring and purpose totally actually get up and

261
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: leave the house to go do what you have to

262
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: do well. And this is where, right, this is where

263
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm at all because I'm like they, you know, they're

264
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: the day the word dare whenever we were talking about

265
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: last week, one of the definitions I don't know if

266
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: you remember this was like, um, being scared but walking

267
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: forward anyway. And to me, I'm like, that is exactly

268
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: what they're doing. And a lot of the negative feedback

269
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: people are getting, especially Megan, like people go after her

270
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: so hard, which I don't fully understand, um, but they're

271
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: saying like, oh, they're chasing fame. Oh you you wanted

272
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: your privacy, but now you're going to go out and

273
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: write this book or you're gonna go do all these interviews.

274
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: One I've never heard them say they want privacy I've

275
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: heard them say they don't want to be abused, and

276
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: like the amount of um threat or negative comments or

277
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: articles is insane. I was telling you last night, there's

278
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: there's something I read that said the Prince Andrew who

279
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: was accused of pedophilia, had let's say, seven thousand articles

280
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: written about that. In the same it was maybe let's

281
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: let's call it a day just for ships and giggles.

282
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember if it was a day or just

283
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: like incapacity of like this little storyline. Yes, um, but

284
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: seven thousand that same news cycle or day or whatever

285
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: you want to say. Megan Markle, who hadn't done anything,

286
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: had twenty four thousands something articles written about her, mostly negative.

287
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: So it's like, I don't think people are really processing

288
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: the amount of abuse and negativity that they were receiving,

289
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: which is it's far more than anyone in that royal

290
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: family has and anyone famous. This isn't normal for fame either.

291
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: This is like next level kind of ship. Um. But okay,

292
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: So the daring like they're walking forward anyway, And I

293
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: think it's so interesting because people are like thinking they're

294
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: chasing more fame, and I'm like, I'm confused. They were famous,

295
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: like doing public jobs before this went down. So you're

296
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: asking them now to completely change who they are because

297
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: they got attacked. Like, I actually don't think that that logic, No,

298
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't, but people forget that. It's like Harry, it

299
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: was like, look, Megan grew up a normal girl. You know,

300
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: this was the path she was on that she chose.

301
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: Harry did not get to choose his life. He has

302
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: been famous since he was in the womb. He can't

303
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: not be famous, Like, he has no choice in the matter.

304
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: His life will be public unless he decides to live

305
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: in his house as a fucking hermit, and people will

306
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: still write about it and write about him. I was

307
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: so there was a sixteen interview that I watched last

308
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: night with and there was a moment um in it

309
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: where they showed him and William at Diana's funeral in

310
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: this like receipt. I had to go down. He's twelve

311
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: years old, by the way, the whole thing was so

312
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: he's twelve years old, and he said, like he's walking

313
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: down this line, shaking hands with adoring fans and citizens

314
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: of his mother um, and he's emotionally he actually looks happy,

315
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: And he said he I mean, he like it took

316
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: him to adulthood to cry about his mother's death, and

317
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 1: he said the weirdest thing for him was realizing that

318
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,199
Speaker 1: these people were grieving harder than he was, and he

319
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: remembered their hands being wet from wiping away their tears,

320
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: and which you know, obviously that sounds fucking traumatic for

321
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: a twelve year old, but let's not forget that family

322
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: put him out there to do that, Like that is

323
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: the level of public life this kid has led to

324
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 1: be asked to do that after your mother died. Is

325
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: so I could barely talked to my sister if my

326
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: mother died, you know what I mean, Like more or less,

327
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands they were taking flowers from fans and

328
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: moving them. It's like servant. Yeah, you know, he starts

329
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: the book talking about I mean, the book basically starts

330
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: with Diana's death and just even the whole like him

331
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: being told by his dad and the whole thing of that. Yeah,

332
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: it's just so the whole thing to me is so sad,

333
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: and that to me is one of the biggest like

334
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: I have felt sad watching this unfold, um, and I

335
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: can I can get behind this part of maybe the

336
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: negative feedback they're getting of like this is a family

337
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: and it's being torn apart in front of our eyes,

338
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: and like the contribution their contributing to that now, even

339
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, telling all these stories, I also will say,

340
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what choice they had to be able

341
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: to move forward in their own lives because it was

342
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: happening anyway. Like the part people are forgetting when you

343
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: say that, like this is all on Harry and Megan. No,

344
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: it's not like the family was leaking stories. They were

345
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: having private conversations trying to work this, work this through

346
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, and that story would get leaked to

347
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: the press and so and to make that the part

348
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: of the family look better or you know what. Right now,

349
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: it's like I will have whatever conversations you all want to. Yeah,

350
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, And I think people are like railing him

351
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: over that, but it's like, but you can't do it

352
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: in private, then let's do it publicly and you'll see

353
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: who's telling the truth. I was gonna say, the saddest

354
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: part about that is how little he can trust his

355
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: own family, And like that's one of the things they

356
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 1: talked about this in Colbert. But he said, um that

357
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: when he started doing therapy was when his relationships with

358
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: the family started getting really strained because they were no

359
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: longer speaking the same language. Like and that's any dysfunctional

360
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: family system. You go along with the system for as

361
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: long as you do, and when someone says, hey, wait,

362
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: this isn't right, this is toxic, this isn't like that

363
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: narrative that you're pitching or that um narrative we're all

364
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: operating under is unhealthy for me. And you raise your

365
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: hand and say that you're the black sheep immediately. And

366
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: so that's what's happening, and we're just watching it play out.

367
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: But I don't think that they can be put to

368
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: blame because the narrative was already public anyway, and people

369
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: are forgetting that point. I also think it's interesting that,

370
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: like anyone is surprised that it's Harry. I mean, this

371
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: is a kid who enlisted in the British Army and

372
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he said in the interview in sixty minutes,

373
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: he said it wasn't until his military service in Afghanistan

374
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: that he found purpose in a sense of normalcy. He

375
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: said it saved him because it got him out of

376
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: the spotlight of the UK press and allowed him to

377
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: focus on a on having a purpose. UM. And I

378
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: think that's really important because it shows that he was

379
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: seeking this kid until his adulthood. I thought that there

380
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: was a chance that his mother was still alive because

381
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: of what he saw his family and the British press

382
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: due just to weave stories. He thought that she was

383
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: in hiding, that this was all just a big story

384
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,959
Speaker 1: to get rid of the mom can, I imagine is insane.

385
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: So it time to Um to get to a point where,

386
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, he said something like he's now at peace

387
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: with his mother's death. Um, but he wants to turn

388
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: all that pain that he feels into purpose. So it's

389
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: not Um, it's not a surprise to me that he's

390
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: the one bucking the system. Like I feel like we

391
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: we we've been watching this unfold for a lot longer.

392
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 1: Megan is just the piece that like, UM, I think

393
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: she's the ingredient because she's bi racial, she's American, she

394
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: was a famous actress. There's all these reasons for people

395
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: to hate her that the press dug into. I mean,

396
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: they're tip of the press they dug into. But now

397
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: they can paint. It's easy to make the other like

398
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: the all the clues kind of go away because all

399
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: the focus can be on her and the marriage, and

400
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: he was working towards anyway. And I think, like the

401
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: empires have fallen throughout history, you know, like this empirical

402
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: sort of bullshit, like the fact that this queen had

403
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: any rain over Caribbean nations, Canada and Australia still is

404
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: absurd to me. It's absurd, um And so I think

405
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: we're starting to see this empire crumble a little bit. Yeah,

406
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean I have two points to that. I think

407
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: you're totally right. You said something about him being on

408
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: his own journey for a long time, and that's starting,

409
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, back when he joined the military, And I

410
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think that he's been in his

411
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: own process of healing for a much longer time than

412
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: he's even been with Megan. Also believe that you wouldn't

413
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: pick a person like Megan and like someone who there

414
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: was all this divisiveness around or whatever if you weren't

415
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: already on your own hath Like they seem to be

416
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 1: very aligned at a soul level. And um, as far

417
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: as I can tell, all the charity work and stuff

418
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: like exactly, and I think people I want to put

419
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: that on her that she came in and wanted to

420
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 1: change everything. You can't change someone who doesn't want to

421
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: be a part of that process. He already wanted to

422
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: be a part of the change, Like he was saying,

423
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 1: this isn't right too, He's like waving his hands. It

424
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: just wasn't as public maybe, And then she got made

425
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: into the villain, and so everyone put the focus on

426
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: her wanting to do that. She couldn't go walk in

427
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, Harry, let's be together and let's

428
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: change the royal family, and it just happened if he wasn't.

429
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: In fact, I feel like she tried. She sort of

430
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: leaned into her duties and tried to She did everything

431
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: they asked her to do, is what I can tell,

432
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: like stay quiet and all the things. But the other

433
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: thing you brought up was that, like this empire falling,

434
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: is that not what we have experienced as a world

435
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. Like that to me,

436
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 1: like Marv talked about this all the time, All of

437
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: the systemic stuff that needs to be changed is coming

438
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: to the surface right now. So we're seeing this happen

439
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: on so many levels. Like you call the me to moment.

440
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: A part of that, you could call Black lives matter

441
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: a part of that, Like it's happening in our world

442
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: on such a bigger level than this. This is just

443
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: one of the same. Then the royal family like or

444
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: whatever the dynamic is, like the with the Commonwealth and

445
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: all the things, maybe there is something that needs to change.

446
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: Like I had a friend say to me, um, what

447
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: did Meg and Marco just think that she was going

448
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: to walk in and like change the Royal family. I

449
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: don't think that that was her intention. But if you

450
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 1: walk into a system and the system is broken, why

451
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: would you just go along with the broken system? And

452
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: if like you feel called to do something else, like

453
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: speaking up is what we do now? Well and and

454
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: so you know that there was also all the women

455
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: were like, well that happened to us too, and that's

456
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: believe it was different. That's not healthy exactly, It's not

457
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: like that is not a solution. And the thing is

458
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: is like you can say, Megan is trying to change

459
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: the thing. She no, She's like, peace out, I'm not.

460
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: This isn't for me. She did, she leaned in, she

461
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: tried to do her duties. I actually feel like that

462
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: was more and Harry and now she's like yeah, but

463
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: I think like she was staying for him because she

464
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: felt like he didn't have a choice. Um, you know

465
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: some back to the Harry like finding his own journey.

466
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: I when I saw the book announced, I was like, spare,

467
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: that's weird. I didn't know what it meant. UM for

468
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: those who are unaware, um or won't read it. And

469
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: this isn't a spoiler. He has been called spare since

470
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: he was a young boy, and William was called the air,

471
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: the air and the spare. And apparently his father used

472
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: to make a joke like I've given you an air

473
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: and a spare of my work is done, or you've

474
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: get you've given me You've given me an aaron a spare,

475
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: your work has done. Like if anything happens to William,

476
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: the country is safe because Harry steps up and does

477
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: his duties. And Harry said in the sixty Minutes interview,

478
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: he was like William's life was set up, was laid

479
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: out for him. Mine wasn't like his purpose wasn't clear

480
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: because he was just the spare. Like William was always

481
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: going to be king and so from a very young

482
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: age he was kind of told that he was his

483
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: value was less than his brother's, so I can see why,

484
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: like they caused this, they the family. Did you call

485
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: a kid a spare? That's a very common in Britain.

486
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: It's just like no one even bats and I and

487
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: to Us were like what you're saying? And I'm like,

488
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: if if you're because obviously you never know what if

489
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: your kid's going to grow up to like have have

490
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: fortitude and be smart or like, but if that is

491
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: the path that your kid is going to be on,

492
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of that is predetermined, I think, and

493
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: obviously it takes work. But if if you have a

494
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: really resolute child that's being called spare and he's like,

495
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: fuck you, I'll show you spare. And I think that's

496
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: what Harry grew in to be, and we're seeing it

497
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: play out now. He's like, I don't need to be

498
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: to spare. I'm a own person, Like I'm going to

499
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 1: forge my own path. Do you know that I feel

500
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: more sorry for William in the scenario than Harry in

501
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: that in the air in the Spare he has no choice.

502
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: Harry says that he's like he can't escape the system,

503
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: Like he can't just leave Like me, I can leave,

504
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: you know, like he has a lot more freedom and

505
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: he has the ability to go carve his own path.

506
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: William doesn't. Like what if William doesn't want to be king?

507
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: Do you ever think about that? Like, but you just are.

508
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: That's the way that system is set up, and that

509
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: to me is not at all healthy either, right, Like

510
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: you don't get to choose, Like here you get to

511
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: choose if you want to run for president, right, but

512
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: there it's like, no, you're born into this symbol. But seriously,

513
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: to help um make change? So well, William? You know,

514
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: obviously the whole system is much bigger than the one person.

515
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: But if you have the king saying something needs to

516
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: change and saying it publicly, things happen faster. I would think, Yeah, sure,

517
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: it comes with a lot of power. I mean I

518
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: think Queen Elizabeth leaned into that and like leaned into

519
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: that role in a positive way, I think. But I

520
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: do think that pressure and like just not even really

521
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: being able to define who you are because of it,

522
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: like you're literally just born into that position. I just

523
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: think that's really messed up. Yeah, it's tough. Like again

524
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: another reason why, like our opinions don't matter, because we

525
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: can never wrap our heads around that, like you know,

526
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: it's like I think the most baseline example is of

527
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: like you know, you're you're born into a family that

528
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: your for generations have owned, like an age fact company

529
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: or something, and you're like, funk, I don't want to

530
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: do a fact but like my grandfather, my great grandfather,

531
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: my dad did, like give me. I don't know what

532
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: made me think of it. It seems like something that

533
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: like in a small town, like the plumbing company, what

534
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: are you gonna like the plumber is going to go

535
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: out of business because you don't want to be a plumber, right,

536
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? And you're like, goddamn it,

537
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: I want to be a musician, right, But then you

538
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: break your family apart and then you're the weirdo, you're

539
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: the blood sheep, And it's like that's obviously a funny. Yeah,

540
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: but that happens every day and no one has anything

541
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: to say about it other than chase your dreams versus

542
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: like this is sound such a public scale and they're

543
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: getting like death threats because of it. Either way, I

544
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: think that what's happening right now is very daring, and

545
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: they do seem to have a purpose, and I guess

546
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: you can look at that in a negative or positive way,

547
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: whatever your opinion about them is. I always lean into

548
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: like what we said, we don't know what's actually going

549
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: on behind closed doors, and the human peace of like

550
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: just giving them the grace to go through this process,

551
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: and like, I don't know, just not hate because we

552
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: read one headline like we don't know, and it's such

553
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: a programming thing for all of us. I think to

554
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: see a headline in form an opinion, but maybe like

555
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: take a pause and really digest what's going on. Try

556
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: to like we are such a lacking and empathy world

557
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: at this point, and it makes me so sad, but

558
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: like try to put yourself in that position and like

559
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: under try to understand maybe more than just some headline

560
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: of you know, Megan being some I don't know, tyrant

561
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: running around trying to change the world. Like did anyone

562
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: walk into that situation with the wrong expectations? Absolutely? But

563
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: like how could you know? How could you know? I

564
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: don't think that we can fault her for being naive

565
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: enough to walk in and be like, oh, I'm gonna

566
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: make some changes for the positive. Like I do believe

567
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: that that was their thing, and so now if you

568
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: can turn pain into purpose. I support that too. You know.

569
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: It's like to me, I don't think there's anything that

570
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: could be more purposeful than like sharing your truth with

571
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: the world like it is and daring truth and daring

572
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: and um. You know, right now, the only people who

573
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: were talking directly to me or Harry and Megan, you know,

574
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: everything else is through a press person through the press,

575
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: like a statement whatever. Like if someone else has some

576
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: truth they want to share with the world, fucking share

577
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: it and then maybe my opinion or my thoughts on

578
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: it would change. But like I believe that they were

579
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: telling the truth. I don't understand why they wouldn't at

580
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: this point. Also for you know, the people that like

581
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: question why he would throw all of this away? For Megan,

582
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: like this is a woman that he fell deeply in

583
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: love with. There were lots of lines that he could

584
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: draw that reminded him of his mother, like her charity,

585
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: the way that she cared about children, the way that

586
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: she cared about women, the way that she cared about

587
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: um making the world a better place for people minorities

588
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: are you know? Um? And why would he not look

589
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: at her and think when he starts seeing the way

590
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: that the world is reacting to her, that her story

591
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: might not end the same way that his mother and

592
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: want to do something different because as a kid he

593
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: couldn't like as a kid were helpless in so many capacities,

594
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: and so then to see it playing out again in

595
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: your adult life when you can take an action step

596
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: and do something different, I totally agree with you. Also,

597
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: like to me, if nothing else comes from this publicly, like,

598
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: of course, I wish them the best in their family,

599
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: and I do hope they find some resolve and peace

600
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: and all of those things. I don't know if that's

601
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: in the cards. They're not, Like you know, no one

602
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: knows that. But if nothing else exposing the press and

603
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: this fucking terrible dynamic that we all have. I mean,

604
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: I think the British press is an extreme, but this

605
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: happens in America, I mean, and they don't read further

606
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: than a headline. And also there are people who are professionals,

607
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: just like the royal family, at feeding the press the

608
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: right thing and controlling the narrative, and that is disgusting.

609
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 1: It ruins people's lives. Um Like, I've been on the

610
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: receiving end of the negative parts of that, and it

611
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: it did deeply affect me and it still is and

612
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: it still affects my work, and like the character assassination,

613
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: like it will affect the rest of my life. It's

614
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: just a part of the story now and I didn't

615
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: have anything to do with it. It's wild and it's

616
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: just to me. I always thought like, oh, there's certain

617
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, like you could look at like the Sun

618
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: or Life and Style or whatever those stupid ones are

619
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, those are fake tabloids. You can't believe.

620
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: But it happens on like good more in America too.

621
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: It's not. It's like I was with a journalist yesterday

622
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: who's from a very reputable and a famous guitar player died.

623
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: His name Jeff Beck. Yes. I have a text thread

624
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: with a couple of friends that like, whenever someone famous dies,

625
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: like we try to beat each other to like the

626
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: scoop to tell so we didn't like the example would

627
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: be Jeff Beck is dead, Like that's all we text.

628
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: So and so I was dead and um, I know

629
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: it's insensitive, Please don't come at me. I've done a point. Um.

630
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: And so I was telling him because he was like,

631
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: oh Jeff Beck died blah, and I was like, oh, yeah,

632
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: I saw that, and I told him about the text

633
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: thread and he was like, oh, I mean you think

634
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: we don't do that in the press, Like that's he

635
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: was like, our whole organization gets an email and the

636
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: subject is Jeff Beck is dead, you know, and it's

637
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: like we have them all, like do we have an

638
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: obituary written? Like and he was telling me like, at

639
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: the top of the year, they sit and make a

640
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: list of people they think might die and they start

641
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: working on the obituaries because get the clicks. It's about

642
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: the clicks. Yeah, Then they go back and soften the

643
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 1: story later, you know, like Betty White's dead, that gets

644
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: a click, But then you go back and you write

645
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 1: the stories about like how wonderful she was. But in

646
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: the beginning, it's about the click. And the problem is

647
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 1: people don't read articles. They read a headline and we're

648
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: so lazy and we're so like busy and oversaturated and

649
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: all the things. You read the headline, you form an opinion,

650
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: You move on to the next You don't even realize

651
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: you formed an opinion, but you formed an opinion. So

652
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: with the headline is false, or if the article actually

653
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: says something different than the headline. It doesn't matter. And

654
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: so that's the part, Like if nothing else, I feel

655
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: like Harry and Megan are exposing the dark side of

656
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: that that people don't understand or know or realize is

657
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: happening to their brain at all times because we're constantly

658
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 1: being fed this ship and I'm like, go for it,

659
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 1: please somebody like they have the platform to do it,

660
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: and do it like it's it needs to happen. That

661
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: is a system that needs to change. I don't know

662
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,800
Speaker 1: how it changes. It seems like that's like a business,

663
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: but but it's a business, and never forget that is

664
