1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Hi ship. Um, I don't even know how to process

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: all this stuff happening in the world right now. Yeah,

3
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: it's there's some weird ship going on. You know what's

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: so interesting? I was just saying this to you. But

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: I keep saying to Marv, who's the master astrologer? I

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: have on the podcast once a month with the new

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: me and stuff, so people know him. But like he,

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: I have said over and over a few at least

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: twenties over and you know, the pandemic seems to be

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: winding down, and he's just like laughs every time, and

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, what He's like, this clearing out that our

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: universe is doing, or this huge change that our world

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: is going through is not over. It's not even close

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: to over. And everyone keeps saying that the same planets

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: that were in line during the Capitol riot are back

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: I think in line. I mean, I can't fully speak

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: to that right now. That is something you would have

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: to talk to an astrologer about. But I was listening

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: to something and uh, it's this Chahnny app that I

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: listened to c h A and I anyone's interested in that,

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, they she said, We're not done experiencing major

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: world happenings, and like no one ever knows what that's

23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: going to look like when it happens, but sh it

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: just goes down. Yeah, I mean, look, I guess in

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: some ways, it's it's good to feel that things are happening,

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: even though like not some of the things we might

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: talk about today aren't necessarily good things. But like, um,

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: it's maybe being stagnant, is I don't know, it's like

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: it's so easy, and I'm guilty of it too, being

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: like God, thank God behind us. But it's like that

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: just because we moved to another year doesn't mean that

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: life is suddenly just going to be peachy. Like now

33
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm drinking out of a fucking fire hydrant,

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: like because the whole world has turned on again and

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: I've kind of forgotten how to exist this way. I

36
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: don't know that I wanted to, you know, I know,

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: I think that's the point, right, Like I think saying oh,

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: thank God, ever, which again I'm guilty of, and I'm like,

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm so back in my job and love my job.

40
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: I forgot about my job and I'm like finding you know,

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: somewhat of my worth again again Like again, we've talked

42
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: about that multiple times. But finding a purpose again feels

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: really nice, and having something to get up in every

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: day and get up every day to go to feels amazing. Um,

45
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: but I think that we would be idiots essentially to

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: say or to not pay attention to what we're being

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 1: asked to do, which I believe is level up as

48
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: human beings, as souls, as creatures in this universe. Like

49
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: we are being invited right now to pay the fuck like,

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: pay fucking attention what's happening and to change well. And

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: I also think it's like there's something that's telling me,

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: like it's about like really focusing on the present because

53
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: we don't know what the future holds, and we can't

54
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: hang on the past either, you know, it's like so

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: all we're guaranteed as this moment right now, one day

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: at a time. But like who I mean I somehow missed.

57
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: I mean, it's we're recording right now. It's what five

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: o'clock on Thursday, sut the time, and an hour before

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: I came to your place, like I got, I get

60
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: this alert about the building in Miami that has fallen,

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: and I mean I kind of assumed it had just

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: happened and the video footage that I've seen look made

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: it look like it was kind of in the early evening,

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: But I'm reading is at one thirty last night, and

65
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: I'm just like, who, how the whole day go by

66
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: without me even noticing that? Um? And god, it's kind

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: of feel for these people. There's like, as of right now,

68
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: there's ninety nine people on accounted for, and like, how

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: does the building just fall out of nowhere? Like I hope,

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: I hope those numbers don't go up, But I after

71
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: watching that video, I'm like, how could those numbers go up?

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: Pile of rubble? It's insanity, I said to you, it

73
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: looks it was reminiscent to me of nine eleven watching

74
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: those two buildings fall, and just I mean, I can't

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: understand why that happened, and I don't. I guess that's

76
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the part of the story we don't know yet, right,

77
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: But it's so scary even could you imagine you're sleeping

78
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: in your fucking condo complex and it just YEA, most

79
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: people are worried about like someone coming in the door,

80
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: not the building falling down around don't just collect. I

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: think there's something bigger at play here. I mean It's

82
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: what I've read is the building is built in the eighties,

83
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: half of it still standing. It's just odd, Like for

84
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: those of you who haven't seen any video or I

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: haven't been following it, like it looks like a demolition,

86
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, like I just saw. I can't wrap my

87
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: head around up. I mean, excuse us for being a

88
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: little bit like we're kind of in shocked. I'm shocked

89
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: reading articles for the past thirty minutes, just like, oh

90
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: my god, watching videos, like it's so much to digest,

91
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: And we always have topics prepared ahead of time, and

92
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: so we have topics to talk about today. But when

93
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: something like this happens, it feels almost it would just

94
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: feel really ridiculous and not responsible to mention it and

95
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: just send our hearts and our hearts and love out

96
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: to mine. That. Yeah, I mean it is sort of

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: a non sequitor to like the other stuff that we're

98
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: going to talk about today. So I mean, I guess

99
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: I'll just preface it by saying, like, I don't you know,

100
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: when we move on to our topic, I don't want

101
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: it to seem insensitive because I'm just like, how do

102
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: how do how does anyone cope with something like this.

103
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, it's not a natural disaster there.

104
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't like there was an earthquake like buildings are

105
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: supposed to stand. I don't understand it, right, So well,

106
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: I hopefully get more information. I really hope that number

107
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: doesn't rise, and there's there are I did read one

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: like there are a hundred and two people who are

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: accounted for, so that's good. Great, Yeah, I hope that

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: number does rise. I hope that number rises. Okay, Well,

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: moving on into some of the topics that I mean,

112
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: we didn't even feel like we usually do weekly updates

113
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: from our lives, and I was like, that feels stupid,

114
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna sit here and talk about I

115
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: wasn't a shoot yesterday. Who cares? Um. One of the

116
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: other big things that did happen this week, which isn't

117
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: necessarily in line with a building falling obviously as far

118
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: as you know, um major traumatic things, but is still

119
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: a traumatic thing, is poor Britney Spears, dude, I mean

120
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: talk about she is shaking her walls, like shaking good

121
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: stand up? Yeah, I don't. I am so baffled again

122
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: by this topic as well. And I have been a

123
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: huge Britney Spears fan since high school. I mean, or

124
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: maybe it was college. I'm a Slave for You was

125
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: like really my day, Like it was just like all

126
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: about some Brittany that was back in the day when

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: awards shows were like, Oh my god, what's gonna happen?

128
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: Who's going to do that? The best performance and all

129
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: of this stuff, and I usually she always killed it.

130
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: She although I don't know if she ever really sang them,

131
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: but the performances were like it wasn't really ever about

132
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: Brittie Spears's voice. It was like what is she going

133
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: to do performance wise or like taking it to the

134
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: next level? Like you say, that was just exciting, and

135
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: like the anticipation of that was so fun back in

136
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: the day with the m A s. I mean, gosh,

137
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: those are the good ad But and then it's like,

138
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: you know, we've all watched Britney's demise and I just

139
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: remember feeling so sad when that was happening in real time,

140
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: like and also feeling like, yeah, I would probably do

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: the same. I Mean, everyone acts like Britney Spears just

142
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: lost her ship, but like any child star that gets

143
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: that famous that early has deep seated issues. They are

144
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: like the people like the justin timber Lakes who have

145
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: like really good teams that manage them. But let's not

146
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: all get act like we fucking know what's going on

147
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: and pretend like he has it all figured out. He's

148
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: got some ship too, Okay, Like it's just some people, right,

149
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: They're all human beings. That amount of money and fame

150
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: and anything at the pressure, yeah, and pressure and work,

151
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: like having to work all the time. It's inhumane, I

152
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: do believe, and lack of privacy and expectation. And that

153
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: was when the paparazzi was so bad, and like, you know,

154
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: I think it'd be hard for anyone, Like not hard

155
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: isn't the right because people are gonna be like, oh,

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: there's so many perks that come with it, but there

157
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: is a lot of stuff that comes with it that's negative,

158
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: and so that can be hard for any age to

159
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: don't know that. But I don't. I just don't know

160
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: that there's any way to prepare for it, Like I

161
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: think there are, like you know, we can all sit

162
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: in our houses and be like God, I wish I

163
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: was rich and famous, But I don't think there's any

164
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: way should prepare for what that actually is. No matter

165
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: how bad you want it, Well, you can't go to

166
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: the grocery like there's you can't be a normal human being.

167
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: And like it's not like everything is positive, right, Like

168
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: if everything you got from being rich and famous was positive,

169
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: everybody would want it, and every I think a lot

170
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: of people do want it because they associate it with

171
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: that part of part of it. But what people don't

172
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: consider and like they go, well that just as a

173
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: piece of it is the negative aspect of it, and

174
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: being followed all the time, like you said, absolutely no privacy,

175
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: feeling like eyes are on you all the fucking time,

176
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: having stuff written about you that's not true, like all

177
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: of those things, even the small I always say this,

178
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: but even the small amount that I got of that,

179
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: I never expected it would feel the way that it

180
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: felt like. Literally could not have prepared myself even if

181
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: I tried, And if I had known what it would

182
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: have feel, it felt like I wouldn't have taken the

183
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: benefits of it. I'll tell you that much like it's

184
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: not worth it to me. Um to some people it

185
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: might be, but it wasn't to me. So anyway, all

186
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: that to say, I think that getting famous at an

187
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: early age is very difficult, and as we've seen so

188
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: many child actors die or commit suicide, or have addiction

189
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: issues or all of the things because it is just

190
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: not normal. It also most times ends, you know, like

191
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't last forever for these young people. So she's

192
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: actually sustained along. Yeah, I mean, but then you have

193
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: to grapple with that with like the of fits going

194
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: away too. So there, I mean, there's so many highs

195
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: and lows in their lives, but the Britney cases, I

196
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: feel like it's a really extreme one, right, And so

197
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: if you live under a rock and you have no

198
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: idea what we're talking about. This week, Britney Spears showed

199
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: up in court to finally speak against the conservatorship that

200
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: she has been under for thirteen years that her dad

201
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: and is it a lawyer managed now together. Yeah, but

202
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: the lawyer, the lawyer is fairly I think that's within

203
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: the last two years she was able to, you know,

204
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: get someone who wasn't her father involved. Um. But um.

205
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: The point that I was going to make was, oh,

206
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: she for the for this hearing. She actually wasn't there.

207
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: She called, but she insisted on it being public because

208
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: she felt like she wasn't heard the last time, so

209
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: and it was I guess a private hearing at that point.

210
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: So this time she wanted it to be public. So

211
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: it was like very on record that what she said

212
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: was heard. Well. Actually, when I was just reading the

213
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: whole statement or whatever, I think she kept saying thank

214
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: you to the judge because I'm not sure she knew

215
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: she cleared it, signed off on it for sure to

216
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: be public. But I don't know there's somehow the press

217
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: was involved that the judge got whatever. Uh. I don't

218
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: know that that matters. But anyway, people know about it

219
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,599
Speaker 1: and you can go read it or watch her. I

220
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: haven't listened to it yet, but I hear it's on YouTube.

221
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: You can look. Okay, so you can listen to it

222
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: on YouTube. Some of the things that were shocking to

223
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: me from her statement. Okay, first of all, let's go back.

224
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: We did another podcast called about the Framing Brittany documentary,

225
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: and so if you guys want to know the back

226
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: story behind what's been happening this past year in her

227
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: life as far as things coming out in public about

228
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: this conservatorship, I actually think that documentary was very well done. Um,

229
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: you can go listen to that episode two, if you

230
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: want our just brief cliff notes about what was happening

231
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: in her life. But she didn't speak out against that

232
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: for a really long time, and then she finally was

233
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: just like, I couldn't actually watch it. You know, it's

234
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: really barrassing to me that the stuff is going public

235
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: and she didn't speak to what was true and what

236
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: was not. Although there have been campaigns to quote unquote

237
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: free Brittany for a while now, there's groups that have

238
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: formed that go right like protests in her defense, and um,

239
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: what basically what's happening now is that she finally is

240
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: accepting that maybe this is the truth and she's ready

241
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: to speak out about it. And what she says in

242
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: the statement a lot is that she was in denial

243
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: because all of the abuse was too traumatizing to her

244
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: to even like except that it was really happening. Yeah,

245
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: I didn't. So she mentioned there was a you know,

246
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: a lot going on with obviously her family, um, and

247
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: they all get paid by the conservatorship. So this is

248
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: very spotty for me. In the documentary, handsome, yeah, I

249
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: mean in the documentary there are people from her initial

250
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: record label that's say, you know, kind of how gross

251
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: he was, and how much he didn't really seem to

252
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: care about her but about the money that she could

253
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: make him and like the fame that she could produce

254
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: for the family and all of that. And he was

255
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: very as wasn't around, very absentee. It was really that's

256
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: exactly right. And you know he has a history of

257
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: alcohol abuse, and not to say like, oh he's an alcoholic,

258
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: he can't do stuff, but I don't know that he

259
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: was necessarily the best dad growing up from what we

260
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: can determine. Um. And so anyway, that all that to

261
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: say is she's saying now that like him in this

262
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: conservatorship role is basically self serving and no wonder he

263
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: doesn't want to fucking end. She was abused by therapists.

264
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: She was put on all kinds of medication. She was said,

265
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: it was said that she wasn't doing her rehearsals for

266
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: a tour, that she didn't actually want to do what

267
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: was told she had to do. Um, that the medicine

268
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: she would take every morning, and the people around her

269
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: so that she wasn't taking it. Then they put her

270
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: on a very high dose of lithium, which is a

271
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: super strong drug and made her feel like she was

272
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: drunk all the time. She didn't want to be on it,

273
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: but she and no control over it. They basically would

274
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: force her to take it. She would have to go

275
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: to these programs um as a part of her deal

276
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: that she was going ten hours a day to do

277
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: this work in these programs and for seven days a week, um,

278
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: doing all sources of stuff. And if you've ever done

279
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: any sort of intensive therapy, that is a lot, Like

280
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: it is so much for your body and your system

281
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. Um. She has an I U

282
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: D that she doesn't want, Like she's like, I want

283
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: to have a baby and get married. She cannot do

284
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: that in her current arrangement. She wants to go to

285
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: therapy once a week and have someone come to her house,

286
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: but instead she has to go three times a week

287
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: to this specific therapist in a very public area where

288
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: paparazzi consistently. Is Like, it's very bizarre and obviously, like

289
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, in most situations, you hear like in every relationship,

290
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: there's two sads to every story, and that's sort of

291
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: what you wanted to speak. Yeah, well, I mean, look,

292
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: it's it's very be rare for a mother to lose

293
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: um custody of her children for the court to side

294
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: with the father, Like, there have to be extreme things

295
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: that are happening. So and I'm obviously this is complete speculation.

296
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: I don't know shit about it, but like there must

297
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: have been something that went down that involved her in

298
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: the kids, because otherwise why would she have lost those children? Well,

299
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: in my opion, because Kevin Terline is not the like

300
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: shining example of the father at that point, he was

301
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: not the shining example of a great father. He might

302
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: be a great dad now, I don't you know, I've

303
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: heard of Kevin Veterline forever. So I hope, I hope

304
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: you're growing to a great dad. But I'm just saying

305
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: for the court to uphold that, Like there must be

306
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: something that we just don't know or do we because

307
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: the truth is is when she lost custody of those

308
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: kids was when everything was so public. She was taking

309
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: an umbrella to the paparazzi that where they were chasing

310
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: around to permanently lose those kids for this long, Like

311
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: I just don't, like, I feel like there was something worse. Well,

312
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: I definitely think that she um probably I think there

313
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: was like drug use. I mean, she went to a

314
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: for two years. I'm pretty sure there was like alcohol abuse.

315
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if there was like an overdose with with

316
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: the kids present that we didn't learn about. But why,

317
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: I feel like there has to be something big that

318
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: we just don't know. I hear that, actually, I mean

319
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: they're they're probably is, and there's definitely size of this

320
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: story we don't know. I just can't imagine that thirteen

321
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: years later, with all of the stuff she's done, I'm

322
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: just confused. I just feel confused about all of it.

323
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: Which I feel like you're right. When we're confused, there's

324
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: usually something we don't know, and like for that reason, Yeah,

325
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know. I don't know. I mean

326
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: I think she's she bipolar, she diagnosed. I don't, I

327
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: have I don't, I'm not sure. But look, I will

328
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: tell you this, like I am a team Brittany. She's

329
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: an adult, and if you're going to go make her

330
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: do tours and make millions of dollars, give her the

331
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: fucking rights to that. Give her the benefit of the doubt.

332
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: Like I love I read a quote somewhere like one

333
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: of the lines that she said she was like quite honestly,

334
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: I want the ability to sue my family. That's sad

335
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: she can't even sue her family who are abusing her.

336
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, she's like, at this point, almost forty

337
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: years old. If not for she's like right at my age,

338
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: she's like almost forty years old and has no rights

339
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: to any of her stuff, no rights to her schedule,

340
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: no rights to her own body. That's the part that

341
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: I get really lost on, Like I don't want to

342
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: have an I U D And I have one? What yeah?

343
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: And like the funny thing of like, look, we work

344
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: with people that have a lot of money to you know,

345
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: like they have business managers. Business managers jobs are to

346
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: make sure that these people don't recklessly spend money like

347
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: Hammer on this show, that does not need to be

348
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 1: handled by a conservator, especially maybe your parents, right you know,

349
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: yeah people that I mean, look, business managers benefit from

350
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: their clients having a lot of money, but they're working

351
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: for a specific percentage, right um. And in fact, it

352
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: is beneficial to them to like for you to make

353
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: more money, so it would be wise for them to

354
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: not let you spend it all, you know, Like so anyway,

355
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: I you know, I just it's I have heard stories

356
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: of people that are connected to Brittany that she was

357
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: incredibly frivolous, like with how she spent her money. And

358
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: I think that probably comes with the fact that, like

359
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: she she probably has in high school education, was never

360
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: taught to really manage money and had a lot of it.

361
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: So it's like she never thought also in her twenties

362
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: totally like with my money that with my money still

363
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: like and I don't have Britney Spears money. I was

364
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: going to say, I was frivolous with my money in

365
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: my twenties and still can be sometimes every now and again,

366
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: and like right we are not if I had Britney

367
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: Spears money, I would think it like I would feel

368
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: like it would never run out, you know. So I

369
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: get like how easy it is to not be responsible

370
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: with money. But there are people, there are professionals don't

371
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: need to be court appointed, that can help her handle

372
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, you know, and put her on

373
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: an allowance, Like if all she has as a debit card,

374
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: then what can she spend? You know, they can put

375
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: a certain amount on it every week and this is

376
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: what she's allowed to spend. If she wants to spend

377
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: twenty at Starbucks every morning, and have at a girl right,

378
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: like she doesn't need her dad helping her with that anymore.

379
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: It just sounds insane to me. Yeah, and I mean

380
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: it is hard, Like I don't want to say that

381
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: we know everything about her mental illness or mental wellness

382
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, and so I'm sure there are

383
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: reasons these things happened. I find it very sad though,

384
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: for people in her kind of position, with a lot

385
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: of money at a young age that they would be

386
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: exploited and taking advantage of because of naivety, Like how

387
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: would you not I mean, how would you fucking know

388
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: how to handle that? How? Like nobody would? And so

389
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: you're lucky if you get the right people around you

390
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: and that kind of circumstance. And it just feel to

391
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: me like maybe she got some bad eggs. Well. I

392
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: also think too, it's like, you know, the ship. One

393
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: of the shames of the whole situation is is like

394
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: where were you when she needed you before it got

395
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: so bad that you feel like the only answer is

396
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: that she needs you, you know what I mean? Like,

397
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: because as a father, where were you in the moments

398
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: leading up to her like really fucking needing you when

399
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: you could have been there when she still needed you,

400
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's point is that he

401
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: really wasn't and she's exploiting her for his own benefit

402
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: and he is the only one who really benefits from this.

403
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: The fact that she would even say I want to

404
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: see my own family breaks my heart. But when we

405
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: see this all the time, that didn't like why do this?

406
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 1: So why wasn't he protecting her in the moments that

407
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: like led up to all of this to be like

408
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: the wellness check in, like, hey, Brittany, you're fucking killing it?

409
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: How are you? What can I do to make your

410
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: life more calm um? You know, like you don't wait

411
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: till your kid loses their mind to be like here

412
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: I come to save the day. You make sure that

413
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: your kid doesn't lose their mind, right, you know that's

414
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: in a healthy family. So that's what I'm saying. It's like,

415
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: so now he suddenly has all the fucking answers. I

416
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: don't get it now. I don't think he does. And

417
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: I think that's the whole point. And the fact that

418
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: it's gone thirteen years is it's it. But there is

419
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: something that we don't know because like the court is

420
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: involved in the court is allowing it to happen. Well,

421
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: that's what she said about the first go around with

422
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: all this. She was like, I do want this to

423
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,959
Speaker 1: be public because I do feel like I said a

424
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff last time that just got unheard, Like

425
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't or it just went unheard, like nobody paid

426
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: attention to what I was saying because she was ruled

427
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: as quote unquote crazy and mentally unstable. And like, when

428
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: I really take a second and I look at her

429
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: life and all of the stuff that was going on

430
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: during that time, during you know, her younger years, I'm like,

431
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: I can't say that I would have acted or reacted

432
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: any differently, right, I truly feel that way, Like, especially

433
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: without the dynamic of a very supportive family system or

434
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: a group of people that you could trust at all costs,

435
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: that weren't going to take advantage of you, that weren't

436
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: just using you for your money and your fame. And

437
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: it breaks my heart that she can say that her

438
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: family is And I wonder who that. When I was

439
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: reading all of that stuff, she said, I want to

440
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: sue my family. Does that include her mom too? I

441
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: mean her mother did write a book, Like at one

442
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: point they were really close. Yeah, and but like where

443
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: has her mom been in this whole free Britney move.

444
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, like, look, there's obviously everything

445
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: is tied up in the court, so there's probably limitations

446
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: on what her mother can say publicly. And I mean,

447
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: I haven't listened the whole thing yet, but I heard

448
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: somebody talking about it today, like apparently like Jamie Lynn

449
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: is even in hot water over something. Yeah, like what,

450
00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't, I don't know the details. But

451
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: like it's weird because like in one way, it's like

452
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: if you damned if you do, damned if you don't, like,

453
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: because no one can speak for no one should be

454
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: able to speak for Brittany but Brittany. So it's like,

455
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: but silence is you're complicit with something by not speaking

456
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: out on her back, like for her or for her benefit.

457
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'm just I'm thankful that I'm

458
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: not in this position with my family to have to

459
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: deal with this. But like the other thing that breaks

460
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: my heart is like thirteen years of Britney Spears created,

461
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: like creative life is gone. She was at the height

462
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: of her career when all this ship, Like you know

463
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: what I mean it's like pop stars. It's hard when

464
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: you're forty years old to retain a pop star career

465
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: because the world moves on, trends change, you know, like

466
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: the fact that she's had a career the length that

467
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: she has is a one in a million chance anyway,

468
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: and like the like, think about what Brittany could have

469
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: delivered in the last thirteen years if she'd been cared

470
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: for proper well. And that's what she was being forced

471
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: to work, which is also extremely sad to me. Like

472
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: she's been working since she was seventeen, So it's like,

473
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: at what point did she get to take a year

474
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: or two long before that? I mean she didn't, that's right,

475
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: So she's been doing it forever. And I mean so

476
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: much of that I'm sure was like she wanted to

477
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: and then it got to the place where she didn't

478
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: and they told her she still had to. And like

479
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: talking about mental health like that job. I mean, I

480
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: think we understand this in a different capacity because we

481
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: see it. But it is so taxing. It is a

482
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: NonStop It is so much pressure. It is not like

483
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: you walk onto a stage and do a show and

484
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: it's done. It is all day, every day, you have

485
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: to be on and there are requirements of you that

486
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 1: other normal humans don't ever have to face. And that's

487
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: not to say that they're heavy expectation. There's a lot

488
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: of weight that comes with these positions, Like they don't

489
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: pay them millions of dollars for no reason. I'm just

490
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: saying that, um And anyway, again, I can hear the listeners,

491
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: some of them being like, oh wow, wow, Like I

492
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: don't even know how I'm gonna pay my bills next month,

493
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Like I would so much rather be in that position.

494
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: And yes, I mean it's like grass is always greener

495
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: kind of situation. But it's not as easy as maybe

496
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: they make it seem, even like a Britney Spears for

497
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: years has probably made it seem by showing up and

498
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: putting on a good face like it's a performance. It's

499
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: a business like everything else, and they don't call it

500
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: entertainment for no reason. Anyway, I hope for her that

501
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: she gets to control of her money, and I don't

502
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: know what that means necessarily, and I just I hope

503
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 1: she gets the help she needs, and I hope she

504
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: gets love around her that's genuine, and that she wanted

505
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: to have a sense of freedom, that fact there needs

506
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: to be like, look, there's always control that needs to

507
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: happen in any sort of chaos, But you know, I

508
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: wanted to feel like a human being again. And it's like, look,

509
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that the answer is like, here's free rain,

510
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: here's all your money. Like, I don't think that that's

511
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: going to solve her problems, but I do think she

512
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: deserves to wake up and feel a sense of freedom, well,

513
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: to have a choice in her day and then like

514
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: or to have a choice with her wife and her body.

515
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 1: And I mean, she's a fucking Sagittarius. They are made that,

516
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: like their main need in life is freedom. So it's like,

517
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, I am literally baffled by the fact that

518
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: she hasn't melted down more. She must be on some

519
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: really strong medications because as it like wired, the way

520
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: that she probably is what I would expect. This is

521
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: the absolute worst nightmare scenario. I mean, she talked about

522
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: the trauma that she's She's like, I don't even want

523
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: to be in a small room anymore because I'm so

524
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: scared of getting locked in there. Like she's like, I

525
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: have a major phobia around being in small places because

526
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: I've had to continuously go in these group groups, sessions

527
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: or sessions with the therapist that I didn't want to you,

528
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: that I didn't want to talk to, that I didn't trust. Like,

529
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine that, because when I go to therapy,

530
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: it's the safest place for me to be me sometimes,

531
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: you know, and to say all of the things that

532
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: I feel in that moment and know that even if

533
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way in an hour, that was

534
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: a safe space for me. And to to go to

535
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: something like that and not have that ability that is

536
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: not healing. That's even more traumatizing. How the funk could

537
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: she trust anybody? Right? And then imagine the um what

538
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: do you call the diagnosis of the therapist who's having

539
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 1: to like read between the lines of this terrified person

540
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: who feels trapped. Well, that's she's She's like, I don't

541
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: want to be evaluated to have to get out of

542
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 1: this because I don't trust anyone to give me a

543
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: fair evaluation. I just want out of this. And like,

544
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: because that's like a stipulation of a conservatorship sometimes is

545
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: that you have to go through an evaluation for them

546
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: to approve you getting out of it. And I think

547
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: she's to the point now where she can't trust in anybody,

548
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: even fucking therapists, Like, don't understand how this is legal.

549
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: That's what she's saying. She's like, I have been abused

550
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: and that they should all be in jail, All of

551
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: these people, including her own father, should be in jail

552
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: for how they treated her. I just like it makes me.

553
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: I can't even say it out loud without feeling so

554
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: sad that this is like a thing that she has.

555
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 1: Literally this is the price of fame to me, A

556
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: fame at that that yeah level level, Thank you God, Wow,

557
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: what'd happen to me? Her hand away in the air,

558
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: like I knew she was going to Like Forbig he

559
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: literally had a stroke. Was also stressed out of Brandy

560
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: for Brittany, like this is my attachment to her. I

561
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: mean we grew up together. Goddamnit. Louisiana girls, y'all. My

562
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: my high school used to play her high school in basketball.

563
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: Just stay in port. I mean, it'll be seriously free. Brandy.

564
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: You think about how many fucked up people are out

565
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: in the world allowed to do the ship they want

566
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: to do, and this is like a human being that's saying,

567
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to be cared for. I want to

568
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: care for myself. I have the means to do it.

569
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Get the funk out of my way, and they're not

570
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: letting her. Also, not only does she have the means

571
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: to do it, she mentions, and he's just like I

572
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: have many thousands of people on my payroll, Like I'm

573
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: not only supporting myself, I am putting a roof over

574
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: multiple people's heads, feeding them, like all of these things,

575
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: and like she's been doing that since she was literally seventeen.

576
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: Like I just can't process yet she can't have a

577
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: kid yet yet, she can't have a child and get married.

578
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Why can't she get married? Let the girl get married.

579
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: How many crazy celebrities do we see too? That's the

580
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: other thing is I'm just like, how is she under this?

581
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: Like why didn't Charlie she can get put under this?

582
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: Like why does this? Why did this happen to her?

583
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: That just to me, just speaks to the toxic people

584
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: she has around her. Yeah, something seems like all wrapped

585
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: up and caring, you know, Like I've literally said toxic

586
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: so many times and that was not meant to be. Yeah,

587
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: that's okay. Anyway, Okay, so the topic we had prepared.

588
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: I want to do. I want to do a little

589
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: like trans I bet you do me. That was No,

590
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean like I just want to say, like, is

591
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: there any irony in the fact that Brittany fucking went

592
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: public with this during Pride Month? No, of course, not

593
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: good for her. She's like like'll be rolled up, you know.

594
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: She's like like I'm gonna drop a ball. She's like,

595
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: here's my gift to you guys. This happy Pride queens

596
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: are fucking dancing right now. I'll tell you what their

597
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: their monarch like just like spread her wings? Oh my god?

598
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Well is that that was? That was my That was

599
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: my transition. Basically, it is Pride Month is the last?

600
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: Is this the last Friday of Pride Month that the

601
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: people are going to listen to this? I don't even

602
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: know Next week will be July. Yeah, So it's Pride Month,

603
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: and Ship and I have sort of been talking about

604
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: how funny it is sometimes like you know, there's like

605
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: Women Empowerment Day and like, um, you know, there's Black

606
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: History Month. There's all these months which I think are

607
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: beneficial and they have a good intention, but it gets

608
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: kind of funny when you're like really thinking about it,

609
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: You're like, why is this the one month we celebrate that, right?

610
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's for me, like Pride Month is every

611
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: fucking day, Black History Month is every fucking day, International

612
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: Women's Day is every fucking day. And I do think

613
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: it's it is important for these things to be recognized

614
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: because sadly, because we're everything that I just listed has

615
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: been pushed down by the white male throughout history. Of

616
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: course it has. At least there is some recognition, but like,

617
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's funny because like the Internet

618
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: always wins, like and this this is the first year

619
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 1: that what do you mean by that? Always? Well, the

620
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: Internet like always finds the humor, like we in like

621
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: the meme culture. Um, it just wins. It knows how

622
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: to sing, take something that is very obvious and bring

623
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: the humor out in it and just own the moment.

624
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: And you know, like, how long have we been celebrating

625
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: Pride months that we I mean my whole life, Like

626
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: I feel like the June has been Pride months. But

627
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: it's just it feels like every year, like corporations dive

628
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,719
Speaker 1: deeper into it, and this year the Internet just slated it.

629
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: It was just like all the memes that are like

630
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: corporations during Pride month, like kind of memes killed me

631
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: because they're going so far. What the point of these

632
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: memes is that? And I think this is a hangover

633
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: in a way of everyone. No one wants to get canceled.

634
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: One um to everyone is a little more sensitives. Oh, equality,

635
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: we need to be whatever, And like again, I want

636
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: to try to take a step back out of myself

637
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: and being like, oh, this is fucking ridiculous and go, okay, wait, wait,

638
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: maybe intentions are there and just because we don't like

639
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: exactly how people are doing it, we shouldn't, like, you know,

640
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: go after it and like, and I also have to

641
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: ask myself what am I doing any different, like because

642
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: maybe I need to be thinking about that on a

643
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: bigger perspective level and all of those things. But I

644
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: do think it's kind of annoying. It's really annoying. Like, Okay,

645
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give an example. Today, I drove by a bar.

646
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to name the bar, but it had

647
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: a pride flag out and it's not a gay bar,

648
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: but there was a pride flag hang out that said

649
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: y'all means all and it was like there was a

650
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: there was a it was a liquor brand was in

651
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: the center of this pride flag. And I'm like, which

652
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 1: is cool, and I think it's a cute message, But

653
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: why not fucking leave it up all year? Why not

654
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: all year have that flag hanging that says we welcome

655
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: gay people three d and sixty five days a year here, Yeah, Like,

656
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: because otherwise it's like it's stupid, it's bad business. Yeah.

657
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: I have a question though, So do you feel like

658
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: like if you had that flag up and that that

659
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: message up all year, is that inviting to you or? Like,

660
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: I guess my question is like, aren't we supposed to

661
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: look at everyone like I don't really look at sexuality

662
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: anymore as like you're different from me whatever, like, and

663
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: so is that in some way working against No? I

664
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: think it's I think it would say this is a

665
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: safe place for everybody, Okay. To me, When you hang

666
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: it for the month of June, it looks like you

667
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: are trying to capitalize on the moment to get some

668
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: gay people to come spend some money. And you're should

669
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: you should want gay people to spend money in your

670
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 1: establishment twelve months a year? Yeah, And by doing that

671
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: and being welcoming all year, it's better business. Yeah. And

672
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: you know what if homophobes don't want to come into

673
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: your restaurant because you have a rainbow flag hanging up,

674
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: fuck you, I don't want your money. Yeah, that's if

675
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: I'm a business owner. And I know I'm coming from

676
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: the gay perspective, but if I'm a business owner, I

677
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: want my business to be welcome to everyone. Sure too,

678
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, like I unless you've got dirty money, then

679
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't want your Like I don't need your money,

680
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: like I would much rather have good people coming in

681
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: my door. Yeah. No matter who you fuck, who you kiss,

682
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: who you marry, I don't care. Just be a good person.

683
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: So it's to me, it's funny like I kind of

684
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: don't want to go in the places that only hang

685
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 1: up the rainbow flags for for June. I'm like, yeah,

686
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: I kind of want to boycott them, Like it isn't

687
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: that a hanging up all year? Like yeah, isn't that

688
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: a damned if you do? Damned if you don't think though, Right,

689
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: So it's like, I don't know, it's like it feels

690
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:43,720
Speaker 1: like it's very opportunistic. Well, I'll tell you what feels

691
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: opportunistic to me? Is like these fashion websites that I follow,

692
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: I mean, these are some of my favorite brands, and

693
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: they will have these, uh these pride edits and so

694
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: like you'll go in and you can shop and it's

695
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: all these rainbow colors, and I'm like, first of all,

696
00:35:58,320 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: do we even ask a people if they want to

697
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: be represented by a rainbow? Like? Is that really the

698
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: Like I think we as a community took that. Okay,

699
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: that is okay. I'm just like, is that really Like

700
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 1: all the clothes that they put in this edit our

701
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: rainbow and so it's like go shop the Pride at

702
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: It this month and it's like all this rainbow gear

703
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: and I just like this. It feels opportunistic to me.

704
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: It feels a little bit like putting everybody in some

705
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: sort of box that I don't like. Like, I just

706
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: don't like that box of Like if you want to

707
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: support gay people, go put on a rainbow sweatshirt. Like

708
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: I just think that's so silly. I don't know. Look,

709
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: I do think there is, um there is some benefit

710
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: to having allies or gay people or whatever just like

711
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: fucking wear it loud and proud. But does it only

712
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: have to happen in June. That's right, that's my meaning.

713
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: And it's like, how many apps on your phone right

714
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: now have changed their logo to to be rainbow? Oh

715
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even notice so many. I think it's rainbow

716
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: right now? Like come on, yeah, come on, like get

717
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: that's like I understand that there is a level of

718
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: support there. Well, I mean it's like, but don't co

719
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: opt it for the month your benefit, like figure out

720
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: away to be more inclusive all year. I wonder what

721
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 1: the answer to that is, because Okay, for instance, like

722
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: I because I knew we were doing this topic, my

723
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: assistant and I have been working and I'm like, how

724
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: do we actually support pride and like give back? And

725
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: so we've been just like researching different organizations that will

726
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: be up on Velvet Sade dot com on Monday. But

727
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: that I feel like you want to learn more, or

728
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: you want to donate something, or you want to go

729
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: do something. To me, that's like the only way I

730
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: know at this point to really try to spread love

731
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: or spread education or whatever and then educate myself, you know.

732
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: But again, like I said, I have gotten to a

733
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: place where I don't I literally don't think about it,

734
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: and I think that is something that people get mad about. Two. Um,

735
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 1: but like I have so many gay friends. I have

736
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: so many gay people around me all the time, and

737
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't think like, oh, I need just for you

738
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: just in the same way that I'm sure people don't go,

739
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: you know what, you're a woman. I need to like

740
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: give you woman empowerment every day? Am I supposed to

741
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: wear a dress on like international way? You know? That's ridiculous,

742
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: it seems to me. Well, and like you know, there's

743
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: things like Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I have the

744
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: same issue with that. I'm like, if we're really dedicated

745
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: to this cause, why are we only doing it for

746
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: a month. Like, if that is my thing that I

747
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: really want to support, shouldn't I be supporting it twelve

748
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: months a year? Like all of it? I don't know.

749
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: It's a very but you don't want to say don't

750
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: do it, right, But here's the thing, Like you support

751
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: me as a human being. Yeah, So that like is

752
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: a real world way of doing Like you don't have

753
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: to wear the rainbow. You don't have to Yeah, you

754
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: don't have to like let everyone know that you're doing

755
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 1: you just do it. So it's like okay, but you

756
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: also don't hang up the Pride flag in June just

757
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: because you know what I mean. That would be so

758
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: ridiculous to me. Could be like, hey, I want everyone

759
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: to know. So that's and it's weird because obviously, like

760
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: I am by the random I'm on, I want the

761
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: support like I welcome it, but I also think, like

762
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: you can, it cannot be about opportunists. I'm going I

763
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: represent a client wide door. She's a black woman and

764
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: I don't even know this the runner's name, but um,

765
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: there's a runner that has like long long nails and

766
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: like an orange wig and she's just like one a

767
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: bunch of ship and I've seen like people are like

768
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: going crazy for her, so black woman, and um, people

769
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: are going crazy for her and being really supportive. And

770
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 1: my client posted to me the other day that was like,

771
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: um uh. Basically I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember exactly

772
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: what it was said, but it hit me. It said

773
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: something like you all need to support the black women

774
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: with orange hair and long nails every day, not just

775
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: when they're winning races. Sure, yeah know, because it's it's

776
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: like there is something that's really eccentric about her and

777
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: it like makes her really visible too. But like and

778
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: this girl, like I've seen interviews with her, like she

779
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 1: is like she's unrefined, there's something like just special about her.

780
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: And but it's like they're making this like moment to

781
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: make it feel like we're supportive of black people, you

782
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,719
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And it's like, no support these

783
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: people every fucking day, that's right, not just because they

784
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: want to race. I think our culture and this is

785
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 1: maybe something we could leave behind. Maybe this is something

786
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: that universus asking us to do, and it's something I'm

787
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: like trying to contemplate for myself. But our culture is

788
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: very big on focusing on when people are winning and

789
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: when it's cool to support stuff, to to actually make

790
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: the decision to support it. And it's like, why don't

791
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: we like take a second and pause as human beings

792
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: and go, how can I support the next human next

793
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: to me, or the the person maybe not even winning

794
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: in their maybe the person struggling, or maybe the person

795
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: just living life as normal? And like why do we

796
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: have to like when someone has a terrible tragedy or

797
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: an awesome victory that be the only times we're showing support,

798
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: And especially like publicly like we have a really good

799
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,280
Speaker 1: friend who is really good at that, in my opinion,

800
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: just supporting a person because she loves them, and like

801
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: on a day when maybe it's not you know, like

802
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: the coolest thing to do, but just because like this

803
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: person is beautiful on the inside and out and I'm

804
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: going to fucking like wave the flag for them on

805
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: a Tuesday like that to me is the best support

806
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: as humans that we can give each other in ourselves. Well,

807
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: because she's doing it for them and not ourselves, that's right.

808
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: And um, Like the example that I'm giving of the

809
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: bar hanging the flag, I'm like, it feels like it's

810
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: false support. They're just hoping that like they're going to

811
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: win some gay business. That's what it feels like to me.

812
00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:00,440
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong. Um. Whereas when I into a

813
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: store that I don't expect and they've got the rainbow

814
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: like sticker flag on their door that's there every fucking day,

815
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, good on you, man, Like thank you, yeah. Um,

816
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: And it's it's it's just a symbol that says this

817
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: is a safe place that welcomes everybody. And that's what

818
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: I want to see, you know. And I don't know,

819
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying that, like everyone needs to fucking

820
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: hang of their flag, but don't just do it on

821
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,839
Speaker 1: Pride months. If you're gonna do it, be supportive every year,

822
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean every month. Yeah, I think that's our point,

823
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 1: because there's been times that I know I've done that,

824
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: like when I was first building Velvet's Edge. Just like

825
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: you base your content essentially on what's the trading, the

826
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: trend or the holiday or you know, I'm posting about

827
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: fourth of July too, so why I'm gonna post you

828
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: know whatever. And so I could totally have seen myself

829
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: even like a year ago or pre COVID, I think

830
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: before I like just started to be like what what

831
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: matters in life? Right? But like I could see myself

832
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: being like, oh, let me buy one of these rapists

833
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: whatch from one of these cute Pride edits and posting

834
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: a picture and selling that. You know. But now, like

835
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: that does feel a little gross to me in the

836
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 1: capacity of just like, yeah, if I'm gonna do it, like,

837
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: let's figure out a way to make it a bigger

838
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: thing of support, versus like let me go sell some

839
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: sweatshirts I sent I sent you, which was actually a

840
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 1: really cute little series that bud Light did. It was

841
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 1: like interviewing old gay or old gays drink bud or something.

842
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: And and look, I think Budweiser they do a lot

843
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: of work that, you know, advertising support of the l

844
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 1: g B t Q I A plus community, and um

845
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: so I'm not calling them out as a brand, but like,

846
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: why why did they feel like they needed to launch

847
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: that campaign this month? Think outside the fucking box? Launch

848
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 1: it in March, you know, like it just feels like

849
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 1: so stacked. And if I were the brand manager, why

850
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: would I to be just a small piece of all

851
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: that noise in June when I could make a fucking

852
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: statement in February or March. You know? Yeah, I guess

853
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: I just don't know if it sticks or lands on people.

854
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: Like that's how advertising works, right, But it can also

855
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: be subtle. Don't advertising to be really subtle? I notice

856
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: it as a gay person, Like when I'm flipping through

857
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: a magazine and I see an ad for like a

858
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: home store and it's a two woman family, like to

859
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: mother family or a two father family, Like, it can

860
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: be subtle and it doesn't have to be a big

861
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 1: rainbow flag, like it just has to feel inclusive and

862
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: that people are being seen um or an interracial family,

863
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: or if it's a brand that has, you know, historically

864
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 1: been like very white driven, like seeing a family of color.

865
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: Like I think there it's just about like visibility and

866
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: these things, and when it starts to feel really inauthentic,

867
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: that's when it bugs me because it's counterproductive. I think, yeah, well,

868
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: on a bigger scale than what we're even um addressing.

869
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: There's a lot of celebrities kind of undergoing this, like

870
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 1: they're getting a lot of heat for this. Billie Eilish

871
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: has been like the main one lately. And there's a

872
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: term now that's being passed around called queer baiting, and

873
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: I think it falls right in line with what we're saying,

874
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 1: is like we don't want to feel you wanted to

875
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: feel authentic, and you don't want it to feel like

876
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 1: you're just doing something to try to get a certain

877
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: amount of followers or a certain fan base. And she's

878
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: under a lot of heat because she put out a

879
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: new video and um and it talks a little bit

880
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: about I think being bisexual, and then she was posting

881
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: on Instagram with a bunch of girls and she's like,

882
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,959
Speaker 1: I love girls, and so you know, I could read

883
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: that and be like, oh, she's just like, well, one,

884
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: she just loves girls like I love girls, like I

885
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 1: have so many amazing girlfriends. I think women are fucking amazing. Um.

886
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think I would ever get underheat for

887
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: people being like, you're queer baiting if I said something

888
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: like that. But for some reason, people really took to that.

889
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: I think because she's spoken about her dating life and

890
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: maybe her past dating girls and being interested in girls,

891
00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: although now she is in a relationship with a boy,

892
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:09,720
Speaker 1: and so people are like, you are literally using queer

893
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: like content or posting about how much you love girls

894
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: to only get the attention of our community and try

895
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: to build this fan base. But like, why is this genuine?

896
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: Are you just using it? Yeah? It feels exploited, It

897
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: spills exploited. Um. There was this article in Slate on

898
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: slate dot com about it, but the part about her,

899
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: because I mean it was like this photo of her

900
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: with all these girls she's got to I guess a

901
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: song called girls coming Out and there's a photo with

902
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 1: all their tongues out. She just said I love girls, Um,

903
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: I love girls. Um. But then it goes on to

904
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: talk about a song that I've never heard called um,

905
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: but a song called Girls by Rita Aura featuring Cardi B,

906
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: B b Rex and Charlie x X and apparently like

907
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: there was a big hoopla around it, And I think

908
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: it's because is what I'm reading. I didn't listen to

909
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: the song, Like I literally read this right before we

910
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: started recording. It sounds like it like leaned into like

911
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: the stereotypical stuff about being queer. And I mean after

912
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: after the ship hit the fan, like Rita or it

913
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: came out and said that she's had relationships with women

914
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: above Cardi B and bb rex I have said that

915
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: they've fluid to But um, this is what I thought

916
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: was interesting. It was like, um, it says, but do

917
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: l G B t Q folks get to deploy cliches

918
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: if that's how they want to represent their experiences, if

919
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: that's how they want to make art or hell, just

920
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: make money, Okay, then go ahead, but you can, of

921
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: course be critical of those representations. What queer people can't

922
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 1: do is just take off their queerness whenever they want to.

923
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: The many are forced to do just that or face

924
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: mortal consequences. Straight people putting it on for profit is exploitative.

925
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: So I mean that's that I think is the crux

926
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: of the whole thing. It's like gay gay people have

927
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: to live in their gay bodies every day, so you know,

928
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: I it's I can't exploit being straight, Like I can't

929
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,439
Speaker 1: put that on and be believable, you know what I mean,

930
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,800
Speaker 1: Like except when you worked it out back straight, I

931
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: mean I still was CONDI strate them, but you know,

932
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: like I mean whenever I like trying to act straight

933
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: to you guys, you fucking lose it. Like it's not believable, literally,

934
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: like will do this thing where we'll be out somewhere.

935
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: Who's like, look at those tits And I'm like, stop,

936
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: I cannot ever here you say something like never be

937
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: able to get away, like because it's not believable, look

938
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 1: at those tits. So it's like, why should why should

939
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: we like why should we have to like, um, you know,

940
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: endure straight people trying to make us believe that they

941
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: might be gay. Like it is tough because I do

942
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are starting to identify with

943
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: the fluidity of sexuality, which I'm actually in full supportive

944
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: because I think it takes away to stigma both ways,

945
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: Like it's kind of like there is no right or wrong.

946
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 1: We're all all just the sexual things, and like it's

947
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: more about the person you're attracted to versus the body

948
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: parts or the sexuality of it um. And I think

949
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: that's a beautiful thing personally, So I hope that it

950
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: keeps moving in that direction. But yes, like the exploitation

951
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,879
Speaker 1: piece is I think exactly what the problem is here

952
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: from corporations, from celebrities. I mean, that could be the

953
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: theme of this podcast because corporating spears is being exploited.

954
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 1: I'm also like, maybe we should have talked about this

955
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: not drink bride mother. Are we being exploited? Like are

956
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:35,919
Speaker 1: we queer bathing right now? Oh my god? Are we?

957
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 1: Maybe we should save this for July. We're like, let's

958
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: talk after the fact. I mean, I think we're just

959
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,439
Speaker 1: trying to bring I'm I'm literally just trying to bring

960
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: the conversation to the chick. And actually, I'm sure we'll

961
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: receive feedback on both ways, like well, what do you

962
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: want people to do? Like you can't, it's the thing

963
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: you said, it's your damn if you do, damned if

964
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: you don't. I think that's right and like right now,

965
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: everyone is looking for something to be pissed about or

966
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 1: have some sort of opinion, and I'm just like curious about,

967
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: like what is your intention behind it? And then maybe

968
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: I feel like things are more authentic. I mean, this

969
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 1: was I think the reason why I wanted to talk

970
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: about it was because this is the first year that

971
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: I feel like I've actually seen it called out and

972
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: it continues. Because as a gay person, of course, I

973
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: want representation and celebration, Like I want to feel that,

974
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: and it feels great in June, like when everyone's like

975
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: like the Pride and a lot of them. This will

976
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: be an interesting year because a lot of them have

977
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: been pushed it later in the year because of COVID.

978
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: We'll see. That's great. Maybe it spreads out for September

979
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, well maybe that can maintain and we

980
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: don't have to do everything in one month and it

981
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: can be celebrated in different times of the year. I

982
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 1: don't know I want that for everyone though, because I don't.

983
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about it in reference to Pride

984
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 1: right now, but it can be anything from women empowerment

985
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: to Black Lives Matter movements to breast cancer. I mean,

986
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: like all the things like, let's just figure out what

987
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: we do stand behind as human beings and the humans

988
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: that we want to really support. And I hope that

989
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: that's everyone at this point, and um, we keep learning

990
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: how to do that better. I agree. UM, let's move

991
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: on to listen to emails. We're almost out of time here.

992
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: I just have a couple that I wanted to drop

993

999
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: for you. I think you're going to be more upset

1000
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 1: than any other topic I could have brought up. She says, Hey, hey,

Speaker 1: I love the podcast. I just listened to the latest

1004
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: they were transporting it from one place to another through Nashville. Anyways,

Speaker 1: I love you. Where where did it go? I know, Christie?

1006
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,239

1007
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: need a road trip. We need to like if it's

Speaker 1: and Chip. I love listening to the Edge on my

1011
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: way to work on Friday's. I honestly look forward to

1012
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 1: listening every week. I went away this past weekend, so

1013
00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: I saved the episode to listen to on my way

1014
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: to work. I really helped for the serious case of

1015
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,400
Speaker 1: the mondays I was having. Anyway, I just had to

1016
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: take in a sip of my coffee only to spit

1017
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: it out all over my steering wheel. When Chip explained

1018
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: that the girl in the tight robbers pussy was eating

1019
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: her pants. I laughed so hard and kept laughing all

1020
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: day thinking about it. Thank you both for at the

1021
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: laughs every week. Listening to the Edge is always such

1022
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: a great end to the week or start of the weekend.

1023
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: Still juggling to myself, I mean, do you know that

1024
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 1: anytime I see a girl in a robber now, I'm like, wait,

1025
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: pants eating your pussy? We said you pussy eating your pants? Right,

1026
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: because it gets sucked up in there. You're welcome for that.

1027
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: I need to That is a song lyric that I

1028
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,279

1033
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,080

Speaker 1: the best lines. I'm going to try and figure it out,
