1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Goldilocks. What a criminal for real bears. Absolutely, the bears

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: were just for some reason leaving their breakfast on the table.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't Papa's too hot and Mama's was too cold.

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: So really, Papa's a dick because he was like, let's

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: go take a walk. Mine's too hot, and Mama was

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: like yeah. So when they get back, Mom is like, well,

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: mine's gonna cold. Whatever. That's just I'm just used to that.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: Guess I'll just start cleaning. And then baby bear, you know,

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: his was fine and now it's going to be too cold. Well,

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: and it's gone, well, Okay. Papa could not have predicted that,

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: but he could. He should have known mine will be

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: perfect when we get back and everyone else's will be garbage.

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: He should have thought about it. He should just blow

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: on his spoon. He could just blow on his I

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: think about that, Papa. Although who cooked? Who made this porridge?

16
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm assuming the mama didn't.

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: That is just because of how sexist of you of

18
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: the time. I'm assuming. I'm assuming that they had a housekeeper. Wow,

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: you think these are making their breakfast for them and

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: I think they're made? Is a male a male bear

21
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: because I'm built different, you know, I just I'm a

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: little more open minded, I guess than some. That's where

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: my brain immediately went. They have a staff. I would

24
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: love I would love you to pen a children's tail.

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: From the perspective of the Three Bears, male made, Yeah,

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: is like I keep making porrid and it just keeps disappearing.

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: The beds are unmade suddenly. His name is Gregory Gregory,

28
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: and he's always trying to keep up the bear butler

29
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: or is he a made? Uh? He kind of does everything. Honestly,

30
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: they could probably use a second set of hands, but

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Gregory's holding it together, sort of an Alfred Um the Bears. Yeah,

32
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. Terrible cook because he can't get

33
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: all the meals the same temperature. True, he's making three plates.

34
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: It's not hard to have them all in the same temperature.

35
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: How did he spoon mama bears porridge and then just

36
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: like walk away for twenty minutes and come back and

37
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: get You have to make them all separate portions. Seriously,

38
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Like while mamas is cooling, he has to make the

39
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: babies and then he makes the Papa's last. I guess

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm confused about this household, how they run their households.

41
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Welcome and goodbye, new listeners, That's not what the show

42
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: is about. Hey, everybody, like, I'm Diana. We're so excited

43
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: to have you today as always. Oh yeah, I guess

44
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: it is as always. I didn't. I didn't mean to

45
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: imply that I wasn't excited at other times. Well, we're

46
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: super excited today for very fun episode Royal Rumble, if

47
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: you will, just a bunch of princesses and princes tripping

48
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: over each other to try and get the hell out

49
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: of royal life right. And honestly, I don't think I

50
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: could blame him. I'm just thinking about like nights where

51
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: we stay up till three am watching dumb YouTube videos

52
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: and then sleep in until eleven and then get up

53
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, ship, we're gonna be pretty late

54
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: for work today and it doesn't matter, and obviously, like

55
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: that is our own special little princess schedule that we have.

56
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: But ain't nobody in the royal family doing that? I doubt,

57
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: I doubt, I doubt. I mean, I don't know what

58
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: they do do, but they do do their duty. They

59
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: do do their duty, their duty, that's right. They do

60
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: love charity for from what I can see, which makes sense, no,

61
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: but it has been an interesting trend, like a lot

62
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: of royals have kind of quit their duties, and a

63
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: lot of them have done it for love, specifically um

64
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: in the past couple of years, royal families of course,

65
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: the British royal family, the royal family in Japan, and

66
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: just recently a princess in Norway gave up her royal

67
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: duties because people were criticizing her American fiancee. So just

68
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of got a little curious about like what happened here?

69
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: Why do you have to quit your royal duties and

70
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: make this whole you know, seen about it? And also

71
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: like what exactly was given up? And what do they

72
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: keep and how does it work now? Also what do

73
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,119
Speaker 1: you do after life in a palace? You go from here,

74
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: let's find out? Hey there, French, come listen. Well, Elia

75
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: and Diana got some stories to tell. There's no match making,

76
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: no romantic tips. It's just about ridiculous relationships. I love.

77
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: It might be any type of person at all, and

78
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: abstract cons a don't a concrete wall. But if there's

79
00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: a story, were a second clinch, Ridiculous roles production of

80
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. All right, if you were a teenager

81
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,239
Speaker 1: or like a little older in the early two thousand,

82
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: you probably were like me and saw a lot of

83
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: pictures of Prince Harry Heartthrob in the teens scenes. Definitely

84
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: pictures had a scotch taped all over my wall. I

85
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: knew it. Prince Harry everyone, Yeah, I know. He was

86
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: like a hot ginger and he had like a sweetness

87
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: of manner and reminded every one of his mother, Princess Diana,

88
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: the people's princess whom you were named after. I'll throw

89
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: out there, that's true, very true. Um. Yeah, he had

90
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: royal blood, royal bank account. He was like principled enough

91
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: dude to serve in Afghanistan instead of just letting the

92
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: norms do it, so he was like, let me do

93
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: that too. I mean, he had freckles. What more do

94
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: you want? This guy is a total package, checking all

95
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: the boxes, all the boxes. Maybe that's a personal box.

96
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I bet I'm not the only one. Now.

97
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Prince William was really hot stuff too at this time.

98
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: I mean he had all the same similar qualities. But

99
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: also he's going to be king one day, so it's

100
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, pretty compelling. Oh yeah, the reason to throughout

101
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: yourself at it. Mother, he's got freckles, and there was

102
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: something else I thought you'd like about him? What was it?

103
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: What was it? What was it? Oh? Oh, he's going

104
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: to be the King of England. Oh mine, mine, but

105
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: Kenny Cook, I'm gonna guess no, yeah he can. He

106
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: snaps his fingers and food appears. Oh well, hey, I

107
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: didn't think about that. I didn't think about that. Smart.

108
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: He's like, I've got a great trick. I always sounds

109
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: like I've got a great trick. What does he sound

110
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: like that? Go ahead? Thought King George was here, He's like, oh,

111
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: I've got a Oh, I've got a great trick. You

112
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: just still taste some onions and everybody thinks you made

113
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: it well. Eventually, Prince William delighted the world by getting

114
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: engaged to a woman named Katherine Middle And I don't,

115
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: at least from over here on this side of the pond,

116
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: it really felt like the Brits were thrilled by this decision.

117
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: They were plenty of articles talking about you know, she's

118
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: got it all. You know, she's she's beautiful, skinny, pretty

119
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: well dressed, lovely, rich and nice to look at all

120
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: of those different things. Why are we looking at skinny

121
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: and no, but it was a lot about how pretty

122
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: she was and elegance and her fashion sense and all

123
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff like that. Anyway, so people just seemed

124
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: really thrilled about it, and Willie made this fantastic choice

125
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: and they're like, awesome, the queen is secure. We're gonna

126
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: be happy with this. Now all eyes turned to Harry.

127
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: They're like, who is the haughty second son going to

128
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: bring home to Gussie up the family tree. Well, Harry

129
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: made his choice soon after that. Of course, it was

130
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: suits actress Megan Markele. Now, poor Megan didn't get the

131
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: same love as William's choice for a bride. No, okay,

132
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: let's break it down here. Maybe it's because Megan Markel

133
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: is an American. Of course, long history of British royalty

134
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: marrying Americans and it just totally blows everything up, bloody colonial,

135
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: So it could be that. Or maybe it's because she's

136
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: an actress, you know, not necessarily the most respected profession

137
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: to all uh oft, equated with prostitution in some higher circles.

138
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: Or maybe it's because she's actually previously divorced. That's scandalous.

139
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: There have been problems in the past when a royal

140
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: member liked a divorce lady, famously the guy who abdicated,

141
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: So it could have been any number of these things.

142
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: Or maybe, I don't know, maybe it's because she's a

143
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: biracial woman. I mean, if you read the papers kind

144
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: of kind of really starts to feel like because she's biracial,

145
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: Or if you listen to any of the comments that

146
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: the royal family made about her, it starts to really

147
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: feel like it's because she's biracial. But if you listen

148
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: to Megan and Harry talk about some of the ship

149
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: that the royal family said to and about Meg and Markle,

150
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: it really really really feels like it's because she's biracial.

151
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: But you know, who knows. Maybe it's the other stuff.

152
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Hard to say, right, I mean, people will come out

153
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: of the woodwork to say, no, actually it's cattle, she's

154
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: stuck up bar like how she's mean or whatever. They

155
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: have some opinion, but these two were like whatever, in

156
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: the face of all the hatred and the face of

157
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: all that, they were going to still give it a

158
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: whirl and give it the old College dry and they

159
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: started dating in ten And actually, when Harry went on

160
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: the Late Late Show James Gordon, he was telling him

161
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: that to date him was kind of a flipped experience.

162
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: It was sort of backwards because you started out coming

163
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: round to his place for a quiet dinner and then

164
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: when things got serious, that's when you started to go

165
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: out to rest and get coffee together and that sort

166
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: of thing. So backwards. Yeah, it's like fully fully different

167
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: than the proletariat. The proletariat day she calls up her

168
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: best friend, She's like, oh, well, yes, of course. Obviously

169
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 1: I met his mother on the first date. But last

170
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: night he would be to the Olive Garden. Could you

171
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: believe that things are really getting serious? Now? You're going

172
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: to get a ring any day now. Imagine imagining Harry

173
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: and Megan at the olive Garden. There's no way. Hey,

174
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I challenged them not to enjoy unlimited

175
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: salad and bread sticks. You know who. Maybe after they

176
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: left the Royal Family they started going to Olive Garden

177
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: because they were like, we need a new family. When

178
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: you're here, you're the Royal family. He's like, thank you.

179
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: They never said that to me at the palace. Buckingham

180
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: Palace should have just made that their house words when

181
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: you're they were dating, and things did start to heat up,

182
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: and they did start to visit a Starbucks together here

183
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: and there and come out and hold hands in a

184
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: park and all that kind of stuff, and so the

185
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: paparazzi activity around them got so intense and so invasive

186
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: that Harry had to put out an official statement to

187
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: the press asking them to please lay the funk off

188
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: his girlfriend. And then in seventeen they got engaged. Media

189
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: went ballistic over all the details and who she was

190
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: and who her family was and what's going on, and

191
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: Harry had to put out an official statement asking the

192
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: press to please lay the funk off his fiancee. Then

193
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: they got married, beautiful royal wedding. Megan retired from acting

194
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: to become royalty like Grace freaking Kelly before her. The

195
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: media was going wild again, and Harry had to release

196
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: an official statement to the press asking them to please,

197
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: for God's sake, lay the funk off my wife quote

198
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: he probably wished. That's probably his draft, and then you

199
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: know they guessed it up for him. My Lord's are

200
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: just a couple of edit spoil we cut of put

201
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: the coat of arms on this. You dropped the f bomb,

202
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: as they say, is seventeen times bringing the royal de fucco.

203
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: That's a busy man, all of the proclamations and just

204
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: takes the f's out and beautiful click. We'll be back

205
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: in a week, Thank you now. Kate and William, of course,

206
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: they had to ask the press to back off several

207
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: times throughout their relationship to Kate and Megan, each of

208
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: them had to take several news outlets to court for

209
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: violations of privacy. But well, both of these women were

210
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: constantly getting just besieged and harassed for photos and comments,

211
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: like every time they walked out the door. Megan's coverage

212
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: was noticeably nastier than Kate Middleton's. Friggs example, Actually, BuzzFeed

213
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: put together this amazing collection of some headlines that compared

214
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: coverage of the two of them, and we're gonna look

215
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: at some of those now. From Daily Mail, not Long

216
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: to Go Pregnant, Kate tenderly cradles her baby bump while

217
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: wrapping up her royal duties ahead of maternity leave. Who

218
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: I can't Megan Markle keep her hands on the bump?

219
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: Is it pride, vanity acting or a new age bonding technique. Personally,

220
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: I find cradling a bit like those signs in the

221
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: backs of cars baby on board virtue signaling, as are

222
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: the rest of us baron Harridans deserved to burn alive

223
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: in our cars. Oh my god, O rageous. That is

224
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 1: so crazy to say that if you're holding your baby bump,

225
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: you're telling every woman out there that she may as

226
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: well burn alive. Such a stretch. I mean, you got

227
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: take this picture of a woman holding her belly who's

228
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: like eight months pregnant and make it horrible. Tell me

229
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: why it sucks? What kind of evil do you have

230
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: to have in your heart? How about this one from

231
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: the Express Kate's Morning Sickness Cure, Prince William gifted with

232
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: an avocado for pregnant Duchess. Prince William was given one

233
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: of the green fruit wrapped up in a bow by

234
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: a little boy whose mother is suffering during her pregnancy.

235
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: Too adorable. Megan Markle's beloved avocado linked to human rights

236
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: abuse and drought, millennial shame, the pregnant Duchess of Sussex

237
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: and so called avocado on toast Whisperer is wolfing down

238
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: a fruit links to water shortages, illegal deforestation and all

239
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: round general environmental devastation. Enough Megan Marcos singlehandedly causing climate change.

240
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: She's she's taking water directly from the cupped hands of

241
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: a child. Her specifically, everybody else's avocados are fine. I

242
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: also love the idea of an avocado on toast whisperer, Like,

243
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: who needs to whisper to that? That's not a thing

244
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: that needs to be whisperer. If she likes avocado to

245
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: her toast, it says we should all be eating more

246
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: of it. It loves deforestation, it's laughing about the water

247
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: it's stole from the thirsty children. Man. Avocados are diabolic avocados,

248
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: pure evil. That's what makes them so delicious. Okay, here's

249
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: another one from the Daily Mail. Kate and Wills Incorporated.

250
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: Do can duchess secretly set up companies to protect their brand?

251
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: Just like the Beckham's. Creating their own companies will allow

252
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: William and Kate to bring out should they have a

253
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: choose to mariad items of officially endorsed merchandise, from tea

254
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: towels to coffee cups. Kensington Palace officials said they were

255
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: doing the sensible thing in protecting the couple's rights. Alright,

256
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: Royal cash in the Sussexes what to stab their name

257
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: on dozens of products, including T shirts, hoodies, journals and

258
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: gloves for their newly created foundations. Sussex Royal experts said

259
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Harry and Megan were actively preparing to quit the Royal

260
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Family months ago by filing trademark applications to commercially protect

261
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: their brand. So again, what Kate and William can do? Yeah,

262
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: Megan and what's his name? Harry totally trash talked for

263
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: it now rule for me, but not for the type ships. Yeah. Absolutely,

264
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: It's very weird, and I'm like, I can kind of

265
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: say that the time that this came out might have

266
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: affected the emotion around it, because they did announced their

267
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: departures shortly after that, so they're like, oh, they're trying

268
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: to cash in, they're trying to find nance their move,

269
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: whereas Kate and William or not. But it's still the

270
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: exact same action, and I kind of feel like Harry

271
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: and Megan would have done it even without leaving the

272
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: Royal family. Like everyone trademarks there stuff today, That's what

273
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: I mean. So it's like into a kind of have

274
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: to or someone else will get a website in your

275
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: name and put really crazy shit on it, so you

276
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: have to be careful about that. So I don't know

277
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: if somebody verify themselves as you on Twitter, okay, and

278
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: god knows what will happen. You could lose a lot

279
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: of money on the stocking. Now, other headlines show that,

280
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: like Kate and William missed Christmas with the Queen, but

281
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: everybody understood and it was totally fine. Then Harry and

282
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Megan missed Christmas with the Queen and it caused sadness

283
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: and frustration. Kate requested her favorite candles and cents in

284
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: the abbey for her wedding, and they just like described

285
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: all the lovely candles she was getting. Then Megan's similar

286
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: requests to spray scent on the abbey was declined because

287
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: quote a request of that nature had never been made before,

288
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: which obviously it had just we just made it. So now,

289
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: even in the safety of the palace, comments were made

290
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: that Megan and Harry just could not stand. After Megan

291
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: got pregnant, people within the palace had quote several conversations

292
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: with Harry concerned about quote how dark his son's skin

293
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: might be when he was born. Megan told Oprah in

294
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: the now famous interview that they all had together. I

295
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: guess it was then famous too. It was famous from

296
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: the get yeah uh. And now Harry clarified that neither

297
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: the Queen or Prince Philip were the ones who asked that.

298
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: But with all the paparazzi stuff and the nasty press coverage,

299
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: and Megan's estranged family also stirring up shit as much

300
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: as they could, it's maybe not surprising that in the

301
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: couple announced that they would be renouncing their royal titles,

302
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: stepping away from royal duties and moving to the colonies

303
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: to I'm America. Escape to America, where they would live

304
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: like you know, normal extremely rich and famous people instead

305
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: of royal extremely rich and famous people would like to

306
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: be American aristocracy. It's a lot less rule, I know.

307
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: Right when the American paparazzi is less aggressive, you know

308
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: you've got a problem. I wonder if it's different since

309
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: their public figures like celebrities, are still private citizens, so

310
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: they have different protections. I I that's the only thing

311
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: I can think. But it's got to be something weird,

312
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: like or Megan and Harry aside do they kind of

313
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: like it? They love it. They don't take my picture please,

314
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: that's me as as a snobby prince. No, leave me alone.

315
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: Don't get my good side over here. I'd love to

316
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: see your prince run around. He's a bit of attendee.

317
00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: He's a macaroni, a maccaroni like Yankee doodle. It's just

318
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: been a dandy, you know that. I didn't know that

319
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: he stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.

320
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: But apparently macaroni just meant you were a dandy. You

321
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 1: liked fashion, stuck a feather in his hat and they

322
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: called him a macaroni. Oh well, call me a macaroni then,

323
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: because I like to look good. So they're living in

324
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They're fancy rich famous people, but they're not

325
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 1: royal rich famous people. And basically this means you don't

326
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: have to call him Prince Harry anymore. Just Harry is fine.

327
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I think i'd call him Mr Windsor. I mean what,

328
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, what do you what is your last name? England?

329
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: Mr England. Now he is still in the line of succession.

330
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: This is interesting. They're still styled your Royal highness. But

331
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: you don't have to say that when you talk to

332
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: them anymore. The beefeaters aren't going to come up and

333
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: haul you away if you accidentally forget um unlike me,

334
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: doubt you, Dad refers to me as anything but your

335
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: Royal Highness, or I'll have those beef it is, hold

336
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: you away to the dungeons, goodness, take you up to

337
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: the tower. Well, you're a real terror. This is no good.

338
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: He's definitely going to get his head taken at some point.

339
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: Bring back that Gietta. And then the other thing with

340
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: Harry and Megan is they are not getting any more

341
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: money to support themselves from the Royal Family or the

342
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: British people. Tax sellars, no tax sellars. However, will they survive?

343
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Who knows now. Of course, the press liked the fact

344
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: that they left the Royal family even less than they

345
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: liked that she entered it. Megan was accused of being

346
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: like a manipulative bully, brainwashing Harry, you know, making him

347
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 1: do this, dragging him out. But Harry's explanation makes a

348
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: lot more sense to me. He was just a kid

349
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: when his own mother, Princess Diana, was constantly hounded by

350
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: the press when she married into it. She was being

351
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: chased by a paparazzo and her car crashed and she died.

352
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: So Harry has spoken out several times in the past

353
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: about how traumatic it was to witnessed the treatment of

354
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: his mother in the press while she was alive, and

355
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: of course it was very traumatic to have her die

356
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: and when he was just a young boy as a

357
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 1: result of that, and William publicly has agreed with those

358
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: sentiments as well. Both men brought it up when they

359
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: were officially asking the press to please leave their ladies alone,

360
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: and Harry said, quote, my father and brother are stuck.

361
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: They don't have a choice. But as the second son,

362
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: he does have a choice. So he straight up sat

363
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: down with Megan and was like, what kind of life

364
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: do we want to lead? And they decided it should

365
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: not be in the palace and they dipped. So the

366
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: couple moved to Los Angeles, as you said. Now they

367
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: run an organization called arch Well and that encompasses a

368
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: charitable foundation as well as their creative projects with Spotify

369
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: and Netflix, and they've come out with books. His his

370
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: his book just came out called Spare Everyone freaked out

371
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: about that title because of their spright old name. I

372
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: would I would push back on Harry and say that

373
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: William could do something about it once he ascends the throne.

374
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: He could simply dissolve the monarchy, just saying, if anybody

375
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: can as the king, I would simply dissolve, simply dissolve

376
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: the monarchy if I was that's it. Monarchy. Your prince

377
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: would never do that. No, he wouldn't. Mind wouldn't, Which

378
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: is why someone needs to step up and do it.

379
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 1: You know, we're all eyes on you, William. Yeah, be

380
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: noble and have sir. But look, Megan and Harry were

381
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: not the first nor the last royals to give up

382
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 1: their titles and privileges for love. Only a year after

383
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 1: these two quit, the quality Princess Mako in Japan did

384
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: the same thing, and we're going to hear more about

385
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: that right after this break. Welcome back to the Shoe.

386
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: Princess Mako of Akashino, who was the niece the Emperor

387
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: of Japan, was born in nineteen and she became an

388
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: Internet icon in two thousand four, and then in two

389
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: thousand and eleven she came of age and started serving

390
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: her royal duties, which included official visits to several countries,

391
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: charitable appearances, you know, royal stuff. We can all relate.

392
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: After the tsunami in two thousand eleven, she volunteered with

393
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: affected communities without revealing her royal status. Imagine she wore

394
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: a little mask. She wore the little the jasmine marketplace,

395
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: rode shroud over her head. No one who me. And

396
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: of course she went to school. She went to Tokyo's

397
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 1: International Christian University and during a study abroad event at

398
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: a Tokyo restaurant, she met a fellow classmate named k. Komoro,

399
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: who was studying to be a lawyer. She said she

400
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: was quote first attracted by his right smile. They started

401
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: dating and in December of Kay proposed over dinner. But

402
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: first their relationship went long distance because Marco studied for

403
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: her master's degree in Edinburgh and England. Ultimately, she graduated

404
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: with a degree in Art, Museum and Gallery Studies in

405
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 1: January of they've been together for a long time already, um,

406
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: and it seems to me that they're like, we just

407
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: want to get out of school, you know, graduately, be

408
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: adult age and then be married. But they're pretty devoted.

409
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: So with her degree in hand. She and Kay announced

410
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: their engagement, and they met with the press in September

411
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: to talk about their wedding plans. They said the ceremony

412
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: would be in November. But Kay is a commoner, and

413
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: any women in the Imperial family who married commoners are

414
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: required to abdicate and leave the royal family. They are

415
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: given a one point three million dollar payments on their

416
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: marriage to help them start a new life outside the palace.

417
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's just not much I wouldn't quit for

418
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: a million dollars. I've quit things for free before, so

419
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: I've lost money in quitting things. And yeah, it's not

420
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: like Marco would be the first Japanese royal member to

421
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: do this kind of thing. Her grandmother and her aunt

422
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: did this, and in Japan only a man can inherit

423
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: the throne, so it's not like she'd ever be in charge,

424
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: you know. So it's not like that threw any any

425
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: succession plans and to disarray or something like that. But

426
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: of course, the media is not that different in Japan

427
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: than it is anywhere else, and these two ended up

428
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: running quite an obstacle course to get to the altar.

429
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: Yes scandal hit when ka Comero's mother got embroiled in

430
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: some dispute with her former fiance. He had given her

431
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: around thirty thousand dollars. Some of this went towards Kay's

432
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: tuition at the university. Now, the press took this little

433
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: dispute and they just ran with it. They heaped piles

434
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 1: of disapproval on the couple, said Marco's marriage would bring

435
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: dishonor to the royal family or sully their image. They

436
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: said a commoner son of a single mom was no

437
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: match for a princess. They even called k An untrustworthy,

438
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: gold digger damn and the royal family not exactly rushing

439
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: into their defense here, they also had doubts. So their

440
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: marriage got postponed from a three year postponem is crazy,

441
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: that's so much. And this is probably in the hope

442
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: that the scandal would just die down and they could

443
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: just have a regular royal wedding like they intended. Everybody

444
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: would have forgotten all about Kay's mom fighting with her

445
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: old buddy or whatever. Right. But yeah, this scandal, however

446
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: little it seems to us, was big enough to them

447
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: that it just did not die down. The Guardian spoke

448
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: with a professor at Tokyo University who specializes in media

449
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: and journalism studies named Kaoi Hayashi, who told them quote,

450
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: weekly magazines and daytime TV shows are reporting frantically on

451
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: this because it helps their sales and viewing figures. They

452
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: are particularly critical of the Comodos because they are not

453
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: fully protected by Imperial Household Agency. So, first of all,

454
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: to the first point, it's the media everywhere. They got

455
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: to make money and get them clicks. To the second point,

456
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: he ain't royal, so it's open season on him. I

457
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: guess what they're saying like that, you can say whatever

458
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: you want about this guy and his mom Marco. You

459
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: had to be a little more careful, I guess, because

460
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: she is in the family and they might come after you.

461
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: But this guy, we could say anything, but Marco was

462
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: not immune. Don't don't take that to say that she

463
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: left they left her out or anything. Because the speculation

464
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: and opinions were just constant. Their wedding got postponed again

465
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: and that just riled the press up even more. Oh

466
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: my God, true love. Indeed, I guess he's going through

467
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: a gauntlet. Finally, the announcement came in September that they

468
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: were gonna do it. They were gonna get married for real.

469
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: Wedding was happening for real real. Kay lived in New York,

470
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: where he earned his law degree, and according to the Guardian,

471
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: he was chased through the streets of New York City

472
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: by Japanese reporters and as soon as his plane touchdown

473
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: in Tokyo, he was just completely overrun over a hundred

474
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: and fifty reporters at the airport and they all snapping

475
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: pictures and shouting questions, and they're writing stuff down in

476
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: their papers. They complained about everything from his body language

477
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: to his hair. Kay had grown his hair out. He's

478
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: wearing it in this like cool little short ponytail. And

479
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: apparently they ran pictures with every possible angle of his ponytail.

480
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't know who's drone, Like did a three sixty

481
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: shot at this guy's, Like go to our website and

482
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: you can see a three D rendering of ponytail clipping

483
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: out for this interactive map of his head. Probably they're

484
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: like examining all the dents in it, like that means

485
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: he's a hunter's Some of them compared his ponytail to

486
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: a samuraized not but others said, no, princess's groom should

487
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: ever have a ponytail. Disgraceful long haired hippies coming up

488
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: in here. This guy ended up having to chop off

489
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: his offending ponytail before the wedding. He also released a

490
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: twenty eight page explanation of the financial dispute between his

491
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: mom and her former fiance, where he said that his

492
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: mom had mistakenly thought that the money was a gift,

493
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: not alone, so that's where all the discrepancies came from.

494
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: And Kay even offered to pay it back himself. I mean,

495
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty eight pages. I would have been like, buddy, write

496
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: a page and a half and then just like Laura,

497
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: ips some the rest of it because I'm going to

498
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: get bored and stop very early. Glad it happen whatever. Yeah,

499
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's probably accurate. Like if they

500
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: were engaged and he gave her some money, right, I

501
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: feel like she would have thought that's a gift, and

502
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 1: then after they were no longer engaged, the former fiance

503
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: was like, well, now it's alone, and there was like

504
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: a misunderstanding there about what gets kept and what gets

505
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: not kept after the breakup. But that feels again like

506
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: a very small personal issue that has nothing to do

507
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: with k I'm coming for all the money I ever

508
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: gave you at the end of this Oh no, five

509
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: dollars tops. Yeah, but yeah. Even his offered to pay

510
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: back the money, his letter, his explanation, whatever. None of

511
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: that worked, The scrutiny continued. They did have some support

512
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: from the general population, but lots of people even took

513
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: to the streets to protest their marriage. They were carrying

514
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: signs that said stop cursed marriage. The Guardian reported that

515
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: one poll was conducted by a Japanese newspaper that found

516
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: that thirty eight percent of respondents supported the marriage, opposed it,

517
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: and twenty expressed no interest. Another weekly magazine poll found

518
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: that just five percent of respondents felt like celebrating the marriage,

519
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 1: while said quote they were in no mood to share

520
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: in the couple's joy. Rude, unbelievably, and all this took

521
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: its toll. The Palace announced that Maco was diagnosed with

522
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: complex PTSD. After the years of slurs and speculation and

523
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: the doubts about whether or not she'd be able to

524
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: marry Kay, the man she loved. Her psychiatrist told the

525
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: media that she quote feels pessimistic and finds it difficult

526
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 1: to be happy due to the persistent fear of her

527
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: life being destroyed, which I get. Your wedding has been

528
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: put off for three years already over the most dumb

529
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: ship I ever heard of, And she's not the only

530
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: one that this has happened to. Ap News notes that

531
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: her grandmother, Empress Emerita Michiko, was the first commoner to

532
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: marry a monarch in modern history, and she quote collapsed

533
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: and temporarily lost her voice in following persistent negative coverage.

534
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: An Empress Masako, who is a Harvard educated former diplomat,

535
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: has had quote a stress induced mental condition for nearly

536
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: twenty years, in part because of criticism over not producing

537
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: a male air. Some critics say Marco's marriage highlights the

538
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: difficulties faced by women in the Japanese Imperial household. Ladies

539
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 1: gained control over your chromosomes? Please okay? So In October

540
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: of one, Maco and Kay held a press conference where

541
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: they apologized for the strife their engagement was causing the

542
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: country and said they were quote horrified that all this

543
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: misinformation about them was out there and being taken as fact.

544
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: In Marco's statement, which we found on CNN, she explained,

545
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: quote to me, Kay is a very important, indispensable existence.

546
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: She even announced that she would be declining the one

547
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: point three million dollar payment that she was entitled to

548
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: since that money comes from taxpayers, so hopefully that would

549
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: appease people anyone critical of her choice. At least they

550
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: couldn't say, like, and you're taking my money to go

551
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: berry this asshole or whatever, which I mean, you know,

552
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: I don't. I've never lived in a monarchy, but yeah,

553
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: it's kind of feel weird that they're just like getting

554
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: all this cash. It feels weird when all our politicians

555
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 1: get cash after they started be done with their jobs.

556
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 1: So I get it. I kind of get it. But

557
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: also giving up that one plus million dollars hopefully would

558
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: lay to rest those gold digging allegations about k too

559
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: write like he's not doing it for that money. Yeah,

560
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: this makes her the first Imperial Family member to not

561
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: get the payments since World War Two. For his part,

562
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: ka Comro said quote, I love miss Marco. This is

563
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: a life lived only once, and I would like to

564
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: spend my life but the person I love in happiness Maco,

565
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: and I would like to build a warm, nice family.

566
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: At the same time, I would like to do the

567
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: best I can to support Maco. Happy times unhappy times,

568
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: We would like to be together and we will be

569
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: indispensable to each other, which is like the sweetest thing

570
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: you could say about right now. And I guess like

571
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: the years they've been together, the years they've been waiting

572
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: to get married, and just let them have it. Good ward,

573
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: poor kids. Shortly after this press conference, Maco and Kay

574
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:32,879
Speaker 1: were finally married on October. They had no royal pomp

575
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: or circumstance with their marriage at all um, but she

576
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: was seen bowing to her parents and hugging her sister,

577
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: so everything cool between them, at least at home UM,

578
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: and then she left with Kay. The couple moved to

579
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: New York City, and Kay works as a paralegal for

580
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: a pretty prestigious law firm. Maco is working as an

581
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: unpaid volunteer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art UM in

582
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: their Asian art collection. According to People magazine, Quote specifically

583
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: been involved in preparing an exhibition of paintings inspired by

584
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: the life of a thirteenth century monk who traveled through

585
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: Japan as he introduced Buddhism, just putting that degree to

586
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: some great use. The article also says that The couple's

587
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: luxury apartment is only a ten minute drive from the

588
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: METS iconic Fifth Avenue location, so they definitely got some

589
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: money to live on. I don't know where it's coming

590
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: from or who's given it to him, but they are

591
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: doing okay. I mean, you know, you don't leave a

592
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: royal family and and up slumming it. But okay. The

593
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: real reason that we want to do this episode today

594
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: is because our last and most recent story about Norway's

595
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: Princess Marta Louise, and she's got the most ridiculous story

596
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: of all. So we will get back to that right

597
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: after these words. Welcome back, y'all. Just last week on November,

598
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: Princess Marta Louise of Norway announced that she would be

599
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: giving up her royal duties because of criticism of her

600
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: relationship with her you guessed it, American fiance Derek Verett.

601
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: Now these two have a bit of a different story

602
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: than our other couples because Marta Louise was already a

603
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: bit notorious in the Norwegian press because she believes that

604
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: she has clairvoyant abilities. If you remember from our d

605
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: and Lorraine Warren episode, clairvoyance is the ability to see

606
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: things that other people can't, kind of piercing the veil

607
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: and seeing through space and time in ways the rest

608
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: of us aren't able to. They call her the Princess

609
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: of the Paranormal New York Times Rights quote. Since she

610
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: was a child, she had seen people's feelings, and through

611
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: her communication with horses and other animals, she said she

612
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: had started talking to angels too. Oh okay now. She

613
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: co founded a spiritual center in Away fifteen years ago

614
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: which was called Angel School and it is now called

615
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: Soul Spring, where she tells her students to make contact

616
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: quote with the angels and the divine universe. I don't

617
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: know if this is a Norwegian um. She once instructed

618
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: her students to quote, ask your guardian angel if there's

619
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: anything it wants to tell you, which I wonder if

620
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: we've all got a guardian angel that at the end

621
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: of our life is going to be like, well, you

622
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: never asked? Well what he said? I saw you floundering,

623
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: struggling your way through life, but you never asked. Or

624
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: they show you like a video of your life where

625
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: you can see them and they're like, hello, there's a

626
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 1: car coming. How frustrating to your guardian angel. But no

627
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 1: one can hear you. It feels like me and you sometimes, Yeah,

628
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,359
Speaker 1: I'm always telling you, like, here's what you should be doing,

629
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: and you're just like, blah blah blah. Is that you

630
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: hate a minute? Well, I don't feel that. You don't

631
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: listen to me. Maybe what I'm saying isn't quote useful

632
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: or helpful. He still don't listen to a word of it. Well,

633
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: I know that's so true. Well, these beliefs about clairvoyance

634
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: and speaking to angels and stuff like that, so some

635
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: people believe that too, um, but they're not for everyone.

636
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: But Norway on the most for the most part, seems

637
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: to have been pretty ambivalent about it. They're like, sure,

638
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: Princess Martha, go for it, whatever you want. Before meeting

639
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: her boyfriend Derek. Kind of the biggest scandal around her

640
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: seems to have happened in Soul Spring. Let a woman

641
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: named Lisa Williams do a lecture there, and Lisa Williams

642
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: claim to fame is that she can talk to dead people,

643
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,919
Speaker 1: and people in Norway were like, Nah, that is not real.

644
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: You can't talk to dead people. I don't think you

645
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: should be telling people could do that. A bishop came

646
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 1: out and was like, well, talking to angels is one thing,

647
00:39:53,480 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: but dead people, that's crazy somewhere for real. So Martha

648
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: had to come out and like quickly distance soul Spring

649
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: from Lisa Williams. She's like, we have different practices, and

650
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: she wasn't talking about that, and we had soul Spring.

651
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: Don't even know why you talk to dead people when

652
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: you can be talking to angels, so well, I don't know.

653
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,359
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of saying not me. Uh. And then

654
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: she made headlines again in ten when she and her

655
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: then husband announced that they were divorcing. But other than that,

656
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 1: they kind of didn't really care about this paranormal stuff.

657
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: They're like, be be yourself, girl, a little bit of

658
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: Shirley McLean, just like do your thing whatever. Why not.

659
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: But then she met Derek in Los Angeles. They were

660
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 1: immediately drawn to each other. She calls him her twin flame.

661
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: But then he and Martha started doing a touring act

662
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 1: called The Princess and the Shaman, and that got to

663
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: be a little too much for the people of Norway.

664
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: This guy, Direk Verett was born Derek Verrett and he

665
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: claims to be a shaman, which I us is what

666
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 1: mystically changed the e to a you in his name. Yes,

667
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: which a shaman, by the way, is like a magical

668
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: kind of healer character. But I suppose it's that's sort

669
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: of its old meaning, whereas today you have shamans at

670
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: like hotels. They have shamans some hotels and stuff, and

671
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: it's just like we do meditation. Okay. And Derek has

672
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of claims to be honest, but we'll start

673
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: with what can be verified about this guy. He was

674
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: born in nineteen seventy four. That's undisputed, and it seems

675
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: like a concrete fact. He grew up in the San

676
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: Francisco Bay area. Now. Not long ago, he told a

677
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: Norwegian podcast that when he was sixteen years old, he

678
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: threw a party in an abandoned house and some older

679
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: teenagers showed up and they poured alcohol all over the

680
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: stuff in the house and lit it on fire, which

681
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: spread and engulf the entire house, which burned out, and

682
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,960
Speaker 1: that led to Direct being arrested and serving a year

683
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: in prison. Oh, to me, sounds like a story you

684
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: would tell. It's like, oh, no, some random teenagers came up,

685
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: Oh why do I smell like booze? While they dumped

686
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: alcohol everywhere, and we were just sitting around playing part cheesy.

687
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: You know, we were eating popcorn and just have a

688
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: normal teenager times, right, just regular yahsi over here. But yeah,

689
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. It also sounds like something older teenagers

690
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: would do, seniors crashing the junior's party or yeah. Well,

691
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: in two thousand five, he married a twenty one year

692
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 1: old woman of Czech nationality, and three years later he

693
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: reported her to immigration authorities as an illegal resident, so

694
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: she was then jailed and then deported. They divorced in

695
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: two thousand nine, and he told Norwegian press that he

696
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: did it because well, she exploited him for a green card,

697
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: so naturally, you know it's time to take action and

698
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,959
Speaker 1: get this arrested and deported. A little confused about this story,

699
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: because once you're married, don't you get it anyway. I

700
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I couldn't speak that because I don't really

701
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: know about it. But I was a little confused by that. Still,

702
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty harsh. That's a cold, cold treatment. While he

703
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: was married, he was also in a relationship with a

704
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,479
Speaker 1: mes sur named Hank Greenberg. Starting in two thousand seven.

705
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: They had a company called Heaven on Earth where they

706
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 1: did wellness sessions. They hosted a radio show together and

707
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: they were engaged, but they broke it off, and now

708
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: Hank is giving interviews saying that Derek was manipulative, that

709
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: he brainwashes his followers. He told a Norwegian paper called

710
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: Netavisen quote, I was completely brainwashed. It was so bad

711
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: that my parents told me several times that they didn't recognize.

712
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: He also said Derek once quote strangled me and threw

713
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: me across the room. And Derek has had nothing but

714
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: nice things to say. For his part, he told a

715
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: Norwegian paper called doug Ladette quote, it was a wonderful

716
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: experience and I will always love him. But he only

717
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 1: wanted to be with men. That's fine, But for me,

718
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: it's the unconditional love that's important. So it didn't work.

719
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: I do not define myself as gay or bisexual. I

720
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: only relate to one thing, and that is love. But

721
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: then in the net of Eastern article, Hank says that

722
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,760
Speaker 1: he has a new girlfriend and they're planning their wedding,

723
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: So I'm not That seems confusing. It could be a

724
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: translation issue, though, so I will throw that out there.

725
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: I had to Google translate the whole article. Who knows now.

726
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: At some point Direc was living with his former manager,

727
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: Tiana Grigo for six years. She has since come out

728
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,879
Speaker 1: and told a celebrity magazine called say Here or something

729
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: like that in Norwegian, uh quote, Direc controlled my whole life.

730
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: It was as if he became jealous of anything that

731
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: stole his attention. I was not allowed to start a

732
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,439
Speaker 1: serious romantic relationship or raise my son. It was all

733
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: about Derek. As far as we can tell, Derek hasn't

734
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 1: responded to those allegations at all. So no, yeah, nothing

735
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: to to say on his part for that now. Apparently

736
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: early on in his career directed some modeling work and

737
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: he appeared on several TV shows, which is how he

738
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 1: got in with all these like celebrities, And according to

739
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: New York Times, he's worked with and endorsed by all

740
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 1: kinds of names like Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosario Dawson, Salma Blair,

741
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: Billy Corgan, Nina Dobrev, Chris Pine, and a guy named

742
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: Dave Astbury who's clean coffee brand Bulletproof, is the only

743
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: coffee direct will drink. Otherwise he doesn't do caffeine well.

744
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 1: When you got names like Gwyneth Paltrow and Billy Corgan

745
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: backing you up. You know, it just screams trustworthy to me.

746
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: I will say that there are some articles that kind

747
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: of described some of like they witnessed some of his

748
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: treatments I guess or whatever, and they saw people like

749
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: shaking and vomiting and drumming their feet and had like

750
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: having really crazy experience. I know. I was like, Oh,

751
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: it sounds great, you know, but I guess he's supposed

752
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: to be pulling negative energy from you or something. So

753
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: that's all coming out and then you feel amazing afterward.

754
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 1: Maybe is ayahuascar? Because I know that will make you puke.

755
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 1: Now this is my question. I was like, what's you

756
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: given him to drink or eat that's making them like

757
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: project out vomit and stuff. This is last week's chili.

758
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: It will really clear the evil out of your hearts

759
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 1: and stomachs and bowels. So that's what we can verify.

760
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: That's why it seems to be pretty clear and present fact.

761
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: But now we must welcome you to Derek Vere. It's

762
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: unverifiable tidbits because as we said, he has a lot

763
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: of claims and they're all amazing. Let us so let

764
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 1: us look at them. These are including, but not limited to,

765
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: He is a sixth generation shaman, born to a lineage

766
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: of both Haitian voodoo magic and indigenous Norwegian medicine. His

767
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: mother was a psychic who foresaw his marriage to Norwegian royalty,

768
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: and his dad trained as a shaman but ran a

769
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 1: construction business. Derek also claims that he is a reincarnated

770
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 1: pharaoh from Egypt, and that he and Martha actually lived

771
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 1: together at that time. So it's like a hawkman hawk

772
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: girl kind of thing where you just keep reincarnating and

773
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: finding each other. He told People Magazine, quote, I have

774
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: memories of us in Egypt, and she was my queen.

775
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: This is why when they met, they felt like they

776
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: remembered each other, as they said, that's why they were

777
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: immediately drawn, Which I mean, you know, I don't know

778
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:37,399
Speaker 1: how things work. Maybe maybe they shared a past limit

779
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, you haven't watched The Fountain yet. We've

780
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: been talking about watching that. Or I think it's Cloud

781
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: Atlas is similar where it's like the same people living

782
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: in different timelines. Look, all I'm saying is who knows.

783
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: But when it's stacked up with some of these other claims,

784
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: that's when it really becomes kind of kooky. Another one

785
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: is he says he was spiritually initiated by one of

786
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: his grandmother and an American woman who calls herself Princess

787
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: Susannah Vondis of Croatia, but a Norwegian fact checking website

788
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: called van True said that his grandmother died before Derek

789
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: was born, and that Susannah is quote a fraud who

790
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: claims to be a princess, because apparently Croatia has not

791
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: had a native king since the twelfth century, So if

792
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: she's claiming Croatian royal heritage somewhere in her line, They're like,

793
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: there's no way it is impossible to trace that anyone

794
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: could say they were descended from Croatian royalty. If actually,

795
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: now that you mentioned that, I've been meaning to tell you,

796
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: Prince Ivo is that. He also claims that he worked

797
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: at a hospital in Israel healing children sick with cancer,

798
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: but the hospital told that publication that as he had

799
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: never worked there. How weird to make claims that are

800
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 1: so obviously and they're so quickly. He might do some

801
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 1: research first, seriously, make up hospital at least make it

802
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: hard to track. In his twenty eighteen book Spirit Hacking,

803
00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: Derek claims that when he was twenty seven, he died

804
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: for four minutes and twenty five seconds from hypertension. His

805
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: organs shut down. The hospital wanted to take him off

806
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: a life support, but his sister donated a kidney to him,

807
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,440
Speaker 1: and he woke up after a month in a coma.

808
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 1: He told The New York Times, quote, I flatlined. I

809
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 1: went to the other side. I got all the information

810
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: on the other side. I came back. During this time,

811
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: he says he foresaw the attacks on nine eleven, but

812
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: said that quote, everyone must accept their destiny and it

813
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: wasn't his role to intervene. Okay, now, okay, a couple

814
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: of things. I got a few things to say, oddly enough.

815
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: Um one of them. Sure, I mean, if his sister

816
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: gave him a kidney, great, good for them. Glad he's better. Uh.

817
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: Number two, Damn, he was dead for four minutes and

818
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven seconds, and he got all the formation on

819
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: the other side during that time. There's not that much information.

820
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: Very If I died for four minutes and then at

821
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: the end, you know, some angel was like and that's

822
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 1: all there is to know, I'd be like, damn, y'all

823
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: got have written that down. This is not that complex.

824
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: You can leave a voicemail everything I need. You finished

825
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:21,800
Speaker 1: up with God about all the answers of the universe,

826
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, this could have been an email. Third

827
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: of all, wow, you knew about nine eleven and did

828
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: nothing to prevent it. Nothing, because well, who am I

829
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: to say something? Which also, had he said something, obviously

830
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: everyone would have said he was crazy. But then if

831
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 1: it happened, and then he's got some credibility, you would

832
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: have had. I feel like he should have done it,

833
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: but I don't know he's like or he would have

834
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: looked like a suspect. Well, okay, that's a good point.

835
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. How did you know this was going to happen? Well,

836
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: I died for four minutes and God told me, all right,

837
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: and you're going to Guantanama back all right. Derek also

838
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: believes that cancer is a choice. He wrote in his

839
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 1: book that he went to hospitals and asked cancer patients,

840
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:16,240
Speaker 1: including young children, quote, why do you want this cancer?

841
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 1: And he said that relationship problems could be a potential

842
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: cause for cancer. He said, you don't like your mom

843
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: and dad, or you don't have a good relationship with

844
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: your husband. Do you chose to have cancer? About it?

845
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: Good God. He also wrote that doctors only prescribed chemotherapy

846
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: because they want to get a big pay up for it.

847
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: And what it sounds to me is like this guy

848
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: doesn't know anyone who's suffered from cancer. Yeah, I mean yeah,

849
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm having a lot of members of my family suffered

850
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: from cancer. Yeah. I have to say this one really

851
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: pissed me off. And as you see, they're getting a

852
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 1: little weirder everywhere you go. I'm like, you can say

853
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: all day you're descended from Haitian voodoo magic or whatever.

854
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: If you're doing meditation and wellness and making people feel good,

855
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: I really don't care. But now we're getting to a

856
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: point where you're telling people not to trust science about

857
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: their cancer and that they can just not want it

858
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: anymore and it will go away. Like that's not that's

859
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: a little far uh. And then also to like mistreat

860
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: their chemo there like mistrust and chemotherapy is like no.

861
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: In on his podcast Ancient Wisdom Today, Derek and his

862
00:52:23,200 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: guest Dave Asbury, who's the Bulletproof Coffee guy, they talk

863
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: about how they don't ejaculate because it robs men of

864
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: their spiritual energy and give them a quote ejaculation hangover.

865
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: He's one of those. You would have been making that silverware.

866
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: We did an episode if you haven't heard about the

867
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: Oneida Compound, which was this whole cult way back in

868
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: the day that that basically thought that that men should

869
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 1: never ejaculate except to impregnated woman, and even then only

870
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: with approval of the cult leader. That's right, so go

871
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: back and check that out. In a previous interview with

872
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:00,840
Speaker 1: an Irish outlet, Derek said, quote, there are certain marks

873
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: that women get on the inside of the vagina when

874
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,359
Speaker 1: they've had too many sex partners. They need to get

875
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: that cleaned out, and I offer exercises for that which

876
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,280
Speaker 1: let me get in there and clean out the marks

877
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 1: and your vagina, ma'am. It's for your spiritual health. They

878
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: might be like key goals or something. Another outlet expands

879
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: on this claim, saying he wrote in his book that

880
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: casual sex attracts subterranean spirits that make impressions inside women.

881
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 1: So that's that's what it's all about, what these demons about.

882
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: It just sounds like split shaming to me because he's like, yes,

883
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: you're having too much sex, so now you have you

884
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: let the demons in now. This claim caused a Norwegian

885
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 1: sexologist to say that he was quote well into fantasy

886
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: land more politely, and The Times writes, quote what he

887
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 1: actually said about the vagina. Mr Verrett said is that

888
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: him in our absorbers meaning of negative energy after a

889
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 1: trauma doesn't explain it. No, it doesn't. First of all,

890
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: you talk about spirits, not trauma and energy. Secondly, why

891
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: do you think sex isn't requires trauma? I don't know

892
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: where that comes from. In an Instagram post recently, Derik

893
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: shared a quote picture that read quote the reptiles are

894
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: here to help humanity find true liberation, and in the

895
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: caption wrote quote, I'm a hybrid species of reptilian and Andromeda,

896
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,320
Speaker 1: and I also hold the energies of the ancient spirits

897
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: from the old world. There have been lies told about

898
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: our species that I want to address. We are a

899
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: cluster of beings. That means that we've come here to

900
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 1: create structures that help people come into liberation. Reptilians are

901
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: here to shake up the system in a big way. Look,

902
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: this is not too far off from David huggins experience

903
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: with aliens and from even more specifically our episode about

904
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: Simon Parks who had sex with aliens and knew all

905
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: about their hierarchies and all the different species and the

906
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: reptilians that we're here to kind of miss everything up

907
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 1: in the and it's like, you know, there's enough of

908
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: them that sometimes I'm like, maybe maybe maybe all the

909
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 1: aliens are gonna show up and be like, yeah, we've

910
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: been manipulating you all along, to which point I'm gonna say, Okay,

911
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you want me to say? Great,

912
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 1: you fooled me. This post was later deleted according to

913
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: the but screenshots were published in the Norwegian press. Yeah,

914
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't can't anything from the internet. Yeah,

915
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: speaking of he did go on to say that there

916
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: were malevolent entities called the Gray Ones who actually run

917
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 1: the world, and the enslaved people by disrupting our frequencies

918
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 1: with five g guy, Oh my god. And I'll tell

919
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: you what. The Gray Ones here do differentiate from Simon

920
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 1: Parks and David Huggins because those guys both said the

921
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,399
Speaker 1: Grays were pretty hands off and chill. Oh that's right, Yeah,

922
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: that's right. So this is a different alien story or

923
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: I guess it's not even aliens, like a reptilian he's

924
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: talking about. I don't either, But people were like really

925
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: hated this post because of course it's a little it

926
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 1: was really out there, but also the reptilian theory, especially

927
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 1: when you combine it with five G conspiracy um, comes

928
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 1: from David I. It's very anti Semitic. He has tried

929
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: very hard to align himself with far right groups and stuff,

930
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: and so it's like, all right, you know, this is

931
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: a little we're getting to be hostile. We're getting to

932
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 1: be in some territory that's really upsetting. In another Instagram video,

933
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: he said that when he got COVID he realized it

934
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: was because he was a workaholic and that he quote

935
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: needed to take time to do his breathwork and listen

936
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: to the ancestors. Which I'm like, that sounds like a

937
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: great way to say, stay home from work and like

938
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: don't do anything, which is what you're supposed to do

939
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: when you get covid um. But then he said that

940
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: his White light Bringer amulets healed his COVID and got

941
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: quote the poisons out of my system. He has several

942
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: amulets and Netta Vic and commissioned scientists to examine these

943
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: amulets that he sells. The results say they were mainly

944
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: plastic quote with only one die separating the light Bringer

945
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: and the Ancient Truth amulets. And by the way, his

946
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: spirit optimized. Our amulet is for sale on his website

947
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 1: for two hundred and twenty two dollars. So these are

948
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: not cheap little chokes. No, well they heal you like you, hey,

949
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: where this if you have COVID and within seven to

950
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:50,200
Speaker 1: fourteen days you'll feel all better. I betact it works well.

951
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 1: And you know that if you ask like Gwyneth Paltrow

952
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: about this, she'd be like, it's not about what the

953
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: amulets made up. It's the energy that he puts in

954
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: it or some ship. And it's like, all right, you

955
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: can't be saved people. You throw them a million preservers you. Honestly,

956
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: I for one invite Gwyneth Paltrow to come on the

957
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 1: show and talk to us about how that's different. You know,

958
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: please do we would love to hear story. Honestly, Her

959
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: conscious uncoupling with Chris Martin is on the list there somewhere,

960
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: so talk about them well. In June two, Martha announced

961
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: her engagement to Direct, which is really what kicked off

962
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: the media storm of articles looking into his past and

963
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 1: all his various claims. For their part, Marta and Direct

964
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: think that most of the backlash is due to, first off,

965
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 1: how the media always reacts for a royal engagement, which

966
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: we've seen many examples of course, and also racism. Now

967
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: Direct tells a news outlet VG that many in Norway

968
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: quote don't want a black man in the royal family,

969
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: and that quote I never experienced so much racism as

970
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: when I came to Norway, you know, a great point,

971
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: perfectly fair. Yeah, yeah, we're we already talked about Megan

972
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: Markle experiencing him pretty insane racism in in a country

973
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: that's more diverse than Norway. So I imagine, you know,

974
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: he might actually feel like very out of place and

975
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 1: get all kinds of weird comments and stuff. Who knows well,

976
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously he's got some people saying some

977
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: pretty bad things about him in his past right, that

978
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: he was manipulative and controlling and violent. Um, there can

979
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: be people who are worthy of criticism that you know,

980
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: either overtly racist or just systemically racist. News agencies and

981
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: people in general will also treat racistly, you know, like

982
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,800
Speaker 1: they will be racist about their commentary. Even if he's

983
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: got valid things about him that are worthy of criticism,

984
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: they're also going to get racist about it. And that's

985
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 1: of course, that's very true. But Derek also compared himself

986
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: to quote geniuses like Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and the

987
00:59:55,640 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: Wright Brothers and Helen Keller. Notably none of them are black.

988
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: I have to say, it's weird to be like talking

989
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,480
Speaker 1: about racism and then compare yourself to a lot of

990
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 1: white folks. That Some people have pushed back on the

991
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: claims of racism, saying that he's just trying to distract

992
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: people from his weird conspiracy theories, including a black comedian

993
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:17,760
Speaker 1: from Norway called Yonah's Dome who told nedavis In that

994
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: people don't like direc because quote, he is a con

995
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: man who says horrible things. So again, he's the guy

996
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: is worthy of criticism clearly, and it could be both that.

997
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: I think it's probably both. It could be both. Like

998
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: if Derek was like a normal, quiet dude and he

999
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 1: was getting similar treatment, it would be easier to believe.

1000
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: But he does have a lot of reasons to criticize him,

1001
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: and a lot of reasons why people would be like,

1002
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: maybe I don't want this guy in the royal family.

1003
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 1: Seems like he's going to tell people not to believe

1004
01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: in medical science and to take an amulet for every

1005
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: cold or whatever. Well, and racism is tricky because you know,

1006
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:57,960
Speaker 1: people often don't know that they're being racists. They don't

1007
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: know the things they're saying are rooted in racism. And

1008
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: oftentimes people in reasons where there are no people of color, Uh,

1009
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: it is, it's very easy for them to unknowingly be

1010
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: racist because they just don't have, you know, the experience

1011
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: of the education and the prize. You see someone that

1012
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: looks different, you know, so yeah, but it is, it is.

1013
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: You know. I don't like to discount his claims of

1014
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: that because that's his that's his personal experience. I could

1015
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: never say one way or the other. If he walks

1016
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:31,479
Speaker 1: around feeling uncomfortable, that's that's that's his personal life or whatever.

1017
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: But I did have a friend um who went to

1018
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Amsterdam and he said, He's like, we were walking around

1019
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 1: the red light district and the prostitutes wouldn't even talk

1020
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: to me. They were like, not you anyone but you

1021
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: he was like, it was really crazy. So I don't know,

1022
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 1: and the Amsterdam is a different place in Norway, but

1023
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, I was just thinking about his experience when

1024
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: I was looking into this, and I was like, well,

1025
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: maybe he's got a point. So with all this rigamarole

1026
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: around direct and and march Uh and all their pseudoscience

1027
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:07,800
Speaker 1: and alternative medicine stuff. On November, the Royal Family announced

1028
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: that Marta and Derrek quote are seeking to distinguish more

1029
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 1: clearly between their activities and the Royal House of Norway.

1030
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 1: So that's why she chose to do this. Basically, it

1031
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,160
Speaker 1: was just they were like, let us just separate what

1032
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: you're doing with what we're doing. People won't feel like

1033
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: you're influencing policy or something. So Marta will retain her

1034
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: title of Princess, but the couple quote will not indicate

1035
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: an association with the Royal House of Norway in their

1036
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 1: social media channels. So no more like Princess and the

1037
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Shaman Wellness Tours. According to The New York Times, Marta

1038
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: also said in an Instagram video that she quote believed

1039
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: in scientifically proven healthcare, but quote acupuncture, yoga, meditation crystals

1040
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: could also help that makes me feel like they were like,

1041
01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: can you also just say that you believe in chemo

1042
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: or something? Can you just throw in there like you

1043
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: don't think that you could cut your COVID with an amulet?

1044
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: And that's reasonable? I think so. I think you could

1045
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 1: totally look to other forms of healthcare that are healthful

1046
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 1: without discounting like proven medicines. Yeah, that's it's It's just

1047
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: as bad for western medicine, for lack of a better word,

1048
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: to discount traditionally, you know, alternative holistic medicine as it

1049
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 1: is for holistic medicine to say we don't have any

1050
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 1: use for that, because I'm like, yeah, we had St.

1051
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 1: John's work a long time ago, and guess what, we

1052
01:03:28,800 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: developed something else as well for a reason. So, now

1053
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 1: that she has backed off her royal duties and they've

1054
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: announced their engagement and they're planning their wedding, my big

1055
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:45,560
Speaker 1: question are they going to move to America like everybody else? Well,

1056
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. You've got Harry and Megan are in

1057
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: l a and Maco and k are in New York.

1058
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: So these two are gonna have to go to Chicago.

1059
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I guess I'm going to say, come to Atlanta put

1060
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: them in Nebraska. Wouldn't it be funny if they just

1061
01:03:57,160 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: like went just again, not to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Baby. Actually,

1062
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: I will say that their plan was to move to America.

1063
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: So at some point we're America. We're just going to

1064
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: be chuck full of news. To be right, former you

1065
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: don't have to call him that. Thanks lord, my lord,

1066
01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: thank you, my lord. Wow. A bunch of crazy stories here. Yeah,

1067
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: so that's Those are our royals that have dipped in

1068
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and said, you know what,

1069
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: I keep it. That's pretty exciting, you know, good for them,

1070
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 1: you know. And at the end of this episode, it's

1071
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: kind of funny hearing about all these royals and their

1072
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 1: strife and they're changing up, getting out of the royal families,

1073
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I shouldn't say this, I don't care.

1074
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:00,520
Speaker 1: I shouldn't send one of our episodes. Damn well, you

1075
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: know they're all fine, right. It is incredibly rich people problems,

1076
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: it is. I do find it an interesting thread the

1077
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: press all throughout um and how and how crazy it

1078
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:16,040
Speaker 1: is with your lack of privacy and how much people

1079
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: like you said, we don't have a monarch here. We've

1080
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,240
Speaker 1: never grown up in a monarchy, but how much people feel,

1081
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: um some ownership over that royal family. I think it's

1082
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: just something I'll never really be able to understand, but

1083
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: it's clearly a big deal. And it's like a weird,

1084
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: heavy weighted blanket over all these royals, and you're like,

1085
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm suffocating your love and also hate, right, And I mean,

1086
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, more sympathetically. I remember kind of coming to

1087
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 1: the realization here, you know, as a younger person that

1088
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: celebrities are human beings that have day to day lives

1089
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: and cook their own dinners and have children they care about,

1090
01:05:56,240 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, like that there it's easy to dehumanize uh,

1091
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: wealthy famous people yea. And in some ways obviously, of

1092
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: course they they're not real people in the same way,

1093
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, very different problems, but in a lot of

1094
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: ways they are. You know, having worked on set in

1095
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 1: TV and movies and stuff, and I met a few people,

1096
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 1: uh that are just like lovely normal people that probably have,

1097
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, partly a heinous existence of just constant attention

1098
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: and cameras on them at all times. Everything they do

1099
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 1: is judged, and that sucks for anyone, like it sucks.

1100
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: I never had a princess poll. I was like, I'm

1101
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: not I don't want it. That seems like a lot

1102
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 1: people want to tell you who to who to get

1103
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: married to, but also they have just everything you do

1104
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: is so scrutinized. I'm like, when I go to the

1105
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: grocery store and I see someone that I know, I'm

1106
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: afraid they're gonna see me, like duck behind that, you know,

1107
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: an impulse shell for something like don't see me. I

1108
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:01,479
Speaker 1: can't imagine every time you step out of house, it's

1109
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: just cameras constantly. It would be really hard. Another interesting

1110
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: thing here with the attacks, it's like, obviously if we

1111
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: look at Harry Megan for just the most prime example,

1112
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: racism massively at play right, but also a huge part

1113
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: of it. I think it's classism too, because it's you're

1114
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 1: literally in the highest class of people there is if

1115
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: you're a royal person, and literally you grew up with

1116
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: generations before you believing and teaching you you are better

1117
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: than everyone else. Everyone else is a step down um

1118
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: and the people average every day non royal people believe

1119
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,560
Speaker 1: that too. And I think in a lot of monarchies, Uh,

1120
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: it's just so embedded in the culture and the right.

1121
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,440
Speaker 1: So there is this sort of like, wait, you're not

1122
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 1: as special as I thought you were. If you're just

1123
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: dating a regular person. That makes me feel like everything's

1124
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,040
Speaker 1: a lie and now I don't understand my exists and

1125
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 1: so my brain is melting. Well, yeah, when when marco

1126
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 1: was Uh found out that she was working as an

1127
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: unpaid volunteer, there were a lot of headlines about that

1128
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: and not that was, you know, a dignified position for

1129
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:15,720
Speaker 1: her to be in and all this stuff, and I

1130
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: was like, well, you know again, it's really hard to

1131
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: grasp it because I don't have I'm like these I

1132
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 1: have the sense of these are people who live their

1133
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: lives and they need to be able to live their lives.

1134
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: That's my opinion. And also the country that we live

1135
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: in is opinion as little as we practice it. That

1136
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: is how we grow up. That's the mindset we're in.

1137
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 1: So to me, I'm like, you should be able to

1138
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: snap your fingers and say I'd do what I was

1139
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: my life. You know. Um, I don't feel that burden

1140
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,639
Speaker 1: of responsibility that they must feel. It must be really

1141
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: hard to step away in this way, and I feel

1142
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,800
Speaker 1: like a disappointment or feel like you're not living up

1143
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: for people or whatever. So I kind of admire it,

1144
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:54,679
Speaker 1: I guess I'll say I admire all these folks for saying,

1145
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: you know what you get one life? You know, this

1146
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: is how I want to live it. I I want

1147
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: to make my own way. Well, my message to all

1148
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: the monarchs out there, all the royals, as you come

1149
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:09,479
Speaker 1: into power, as you as you succeed the throne, uh,

1150
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 1: go ahead and dissolve your monarchy. I really think that's

1151
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 1: just the that's the simple solution here. Get rid of

1152
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 1: it no more. Everyone will love it, Yeah, I will.

1153
