1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: So I've never been acutely aware of Britney spears, her career,

2
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: what's going on with her, the free Britney stuff, any

3
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: more than just a person who just sees headlines, like

4
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: some of you really are rabbit and know it. And

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: it's funny the different stories at different people pick up on.

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: It might have to do with the time in their

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: lives that that person was famous. I might have to

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: do with age or style of music or movies or

9
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: whatever someone does. For example, Gwen Stefani, like, she's not

10
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: on my radar. She's around my age, I think, but

11
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: I've never really clicked with what she's doing or done.

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: I she's beautiful and it seems very talented, but it's

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: just never been something that's been on my radar. And

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: while I think Beyonce is an absolute queen beyond, I

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: think I'm more aware of what goes on with Rihanna

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: and I. It's not an age thing. I just I

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: don't know why. So it's interesting how we just certain

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: people just intrigue us. Maria I don't know a lot about,

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: but I'm just always thinking about her and find her fascinating.

20
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm not always thinking about her, I don't know why

21
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: I said that. I just mean, like, I'll read something

22
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: about her. I find her interesting and fascinating. Um, okay,

23
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: So Britney Spear has never really been a person that

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: knows any more than anyone reading the headlines. But we

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: don't know what goes on with someone because we're just

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: reading headlines. So she has the incident with the shaved

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: head and the drink and the paparazzi, and you know,

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: my opinion at the time was like, that must be

29
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: so crazy, the paparazzi and living a life uh in

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: front of the cameras, And I mean, it could drive

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: anyone crazy. So it either young fame could drive someone crazy.

32
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: Think about Michael Jackson. I think about Justin bieber when

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: he had a crazy phase, in a destructive phase. I

34
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: just think that young fame is something that is extremely

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: dangerous and impossible for someone to imagine, and for a

36
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: young kid who can't process logic about how to handle it,

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: much less an adult who could handle that, which many can't.

38
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: I just think it's a laugh for for young kids.

39
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: So Brittany grew up in the Mickey Mouse Club and

40
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: in a relationship with Justin timber Lake, and she's been

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: famous most of her life. So she goes through this

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: divorcedness custody battle, and then you know, it becomes very

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: public for all of us, this conservatorship, and people are

44
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: listening to messages she's sending and thinking that she's sending

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: cries for help and team her and not her father,

46
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: and we're thinking about stage dads and people that steal

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: kids money and um. Then she's got a sister who

48
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: was really famous for a time but kind of dissolved

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: into the background a little bit, and what does she think?

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: And she sometimes seems team parents, and it all seems like,

51
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: how could we possibly know? But everybody got very free Brittany.

52
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: And you know it's funny because if you had said

53
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: something terrible at Harvey Weinstein years ago, you would have

54
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: been slow. And then Harvey Weinstein became a criminal and

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Matt Lower was beloved and then what happened to him,

56
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: And then you know, Ellen went through a ship storm,

57
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: and because Fatiguan went through shipp storm, and everybody has

58
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: ebbs and flows where if you said something about somebody

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: that wasn't popular at the wrong time, you know you'd

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: get killed. So it's just it's very very trendy and

61
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: fluid when you're allowed to think something and say something.

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: And I remember when this whole free Brittany thing was

63
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: coming out, me thinking this sounds very cult like and

64
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: very extreme, that she would be in this conservator ship

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: that is so extreme, and that the public is now

66
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: saying free Brittany. She's an adult and someone's controlled her

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: money and she's doing all this publicly and talking about it,

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: and everyone's feeling compassion, And I actually did, because it

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: seems suffocating and debilitating and like she was in some

70
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: sort of a prison and trapped. But I also and

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: I also when she yelled at her kids, like who cared?

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: And he was trying to leak that, And I've been

73
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: through things like that myself, so I was thinking, big deal,

74
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: she got crazy with her kids. And listen, a lot

75
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: of celebrities are a little bit you know cookie, let's

76
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: just say um. But I do remember thinking, I do

77
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: really really remember thinking like, how many shades of great

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: is this? Like? If she was that extreme at she

79
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: had a conservatorship that a judge put on her, there

80
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: must be some pretty compelling evidence to have that happen.

81
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: And by no means do I know or sit in

82
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: any kind of judgment. I just remember thinking that and

83
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: then recently, and it's truthfully, people like Perez Hilton and

84
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: to report on it, you know, just in my periphery

85
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: on social media, I'll see these these these posts that

86
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: she does with these free association of thought, and in

87
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: looking at her wedding and some of those videos with

88
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: Drew Barrymore and Paris and everybody else, it seemed a

89
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: little chaotic, a little messy. It just seems little disorganized

90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: over there. It seems a little messy, and you never know.

91
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: I mean, there are people that are so you don't

92
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: even know how messy it is privately. I mean I've

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: heard so many assistance and publicists and things like say,

94
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: it's it's it's insane what goes on over there, not

95
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: there there, but I mean in general, so who can

96
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: possibly know? But it definitely seems like if you put

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: all the ingredients together, something's off overall. Like something's definitely

98
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: very very off overall. And you know, celebrities are beloved

99
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 1: and famous. Think about Amanda bind She was like America's

100
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: Girl and all those young movies, and then she went

101
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: nuts like and I don't mean that I'm not. I'm

102
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: not making fun of mental illness, or so maybe I

103
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: said that in to cross Away, like she had severe

104
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: mental and emotional problems. And when you're a famous person

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: and you have a lot of money and people are

106
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: owing anything you want at you, you can kind of

107
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: act out. And I heard Whitney use Houston on an

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: interview recently saying that she wasn't thinking about if she

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: was doing too much drugs or if she was saying

110
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: if she was okay. She had everything thrown at her

111
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: and she just had money and there's nothing to worry about.

112
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: You could do whatever you want. There's no there are

113
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: no guardrails, and it seems like Britney doesn't have any

114
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: guard rails and a lot of these people are living

115
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: every thought and emotion through captions and it must be

116
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: maddening because if everybody likes it, then they're happy, and

117
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: if everybody doesn't like it's like another cousin of fame.

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Social media is fame, but in a different vehicle. It's

119
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: a different You're not a concert pianist, you're not on

120
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: you're not you're not in the theater on Broadway, you're

121
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: not in a movie, you're not in a television show.

122
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: You're not a stand up comedian now. Your your stage

123
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: is social media, and so you could say this crazy

124
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't get this attention immediately, Like you have to wagh

125
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: for a movie to be edited or a TV show

126
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: to air, and you have to wait live plus three

127
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: et cetera of the DVR and everything to get the ratings.

128
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: With social media, you get the ratings immediately. So you

129
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: could post fifty things a day and get the ratings immediately.

130
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: And that's psychotic and addictive and all kinds of fucking crazy,

131
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, the case have built the whole

132
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: life and business on it. You know, let's put this

133
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: add up right now, and we know exactly five minutes

134
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: later how much product were we sold or an hour

135
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: later if we sold out. Like, it's just a different

136
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,559
Speaker 1: world now. So Britney Spears was the vehicle through which

137
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: to make me think that, because she posts some crazy

138
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: stuff and then she deletes it and people laugh at it.

139
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: But it's it is it funny? I mean if she

140
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: said that stuff in an interview, it wouldn't be okay.

141
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it's just a crazy, crazy, crazy world.

142
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: And it's also immediate and it's instant gratification, and there's

143
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: there's no control. Someone can control when the TV show

144
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: goes up and when the movie goes up, and when

145
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: the persons on stage and did they hydrate enough and

146
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: did they put the honey in their throat and all

147
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: of that stuff. But just to be going on stage

148
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: every ten, ten times a day if you want, or

149
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: every day saying something, taking it down, putting it up,

150
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: like do they like me? Did they not answering in

151
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: the comments. It's immediate gratification. It's crazy. Think about it.

152
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: Let's talk about click bait and cloud chasing. These are

153
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: terms that are thrown around, particularly on places like TikTok,

154
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: where people are talking about that you tag someone or

155
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: you do something trendy because you're looking for views. What

156
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: are people doing on TikTok or people on TikTok because

157
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: it's a charitable action, it's it's philanthropy. People are opening

158
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: air as boxes and showing you what they got at

159
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: Zara and and and doing their makeup tutorials and get

160
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: readies with me and dances because there it's for charity.

161
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a work project. Or they're trying to

162
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: get people to view their videos. So anyone who says

163
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: or accuses somebody else of talking about something in particular

164
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: because they're chasing cloud or click baiting is an insecure loser.

165
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: Is someone who's jealous because they're just annoyed that it

166
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: may be working for you and it's not working for them.

167
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: So if you're not a monk living in a monastery

168
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't have social media, uh, then then then really

169
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,119
Speaker 1: you're not in a position to be talking about clickbait

170
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: or cloud chasing. I just find that so funny. Um.

171
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: I love when people sort of jealousy shines right through
