With that, welcome to this 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: episode of Amy and TJ. Rohopes. 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: This is an important update we got. We just wanted 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: to hop on and let everybody know. But this was 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: a scary situation. Megan the Stallion, Grammy winning rapper, Hollywood 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: excuse me, Broadway star Robes, this was scary to hear. 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: She stopped a performance. She had to leave mid performance 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 1: of Mulan Rouge, and we didn't know what was going on. 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you knew it had to be something serious 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 3: because this is a big deal. 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 4: This is her Broadway debut in Mulan Rouge. 14 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 3: She has a crucial role and is the first female 15 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 3: to ever play the role of Zidler. So you know, 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: she wasn't just going to walk away mid performance. She's 17 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: a performer, she's a professional, sure, regardless, but she obviously 18 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: was pushed to a point where she was afraid she 19 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: could not continue. So in the middle of the show, Yeah, 20 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: they had to tell the audience, hold up for a second, 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 3: we're taking a pause here, and then they had to 22 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 3: get her understudy on stage while she was rushed to 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 3: the hospital. 24 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 4: And we're now hearing what happened. 25 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, and again folks, we are just this is as 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: we're recording, This is just after lunchtime. But really from 27 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: last night until this morning, we didn't have any indication 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: of exactly what was going on with her. But like 29 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: you said, Robes, that's very serious to stop a performance 30 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,919 Speaker 1: and she had to leave. So all we were told 31 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: initially is that she fell very ill, very ill, or 32 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: even the words, but I know she was taken to 33 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: the hospital, but they were using words like. 34 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 4: Rushed, rushed to the hospital. 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: It sounded scary. 36 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, it certainly did. And look, she's on a limited 37 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 4: eight week series. 38 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 3: You know she's pushing it. She wants to she wants 39 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: to bring it home, she wants to kill it. And 40 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: this show is a showstopper and you know she was 41 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: given it her all. This is a big deal. So 42 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 3: we heard now from her, we got a statement and 43 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: we got her actually going on to x herself. So 44 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 3: we are hearing from her reps and from Megan thee 45 00:01:58,960 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: stelling in herself. 46 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: Can you give me contexts you've seen Mulan RuSHA. Oh yes, 47 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: this character is what. 48 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: So this is the nightclub owner Ziddler and basically is 49 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: the narrator, is the storyteller of the entire show. 50 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: Oh, she's present throughout the show. 51 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: She is basically like basically if you were thinking of 52 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: watching a circus. 53 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 4: She's the ringleader. Yes, and it's always been played by 54 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 4: a male. 55 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: This is a critically important role. 56 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 3: It's a huge part of the show. It's a big 57 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: deal that she got this. 58 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 4: And I, honestly, you know how much I love this musical, 59 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 4: Mula Ruth. 60 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: I have seen it three times. I want to see 61 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 3: it again to see her in this role. That's how 62 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 3: much I love this musical and how phenomenal I know 63 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: she is in this musical. 64 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: Now, of course, we're absolutely going to see it when 65 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: she comes back, and we are told that she will. 66 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: So let's tell you from her own words what exactly happened. 67 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: The most we had gotten robes but from Reps, who 68 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: simply said, she fell ill, was taken to the hospital. 69 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: You'll hear from us later. She's being evaluated. We heard 70 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: from some people in her circle. The stylist, the hairstylist is. 71 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 3: The hairstylist actually went on onto X while they were 72 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: in the hospital and said pray for Megan. So again 73 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: it was deeply, deeply concerning. So that was really scary 74 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: and especially not hearing anything until just now. But we 75 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: did hear from her reps explaining what she was treated, 76 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: how she was treated, and what she was diagnosed with. 77 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 4: They said. 78 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: On Tuesday evening, Megan was transported to a local hospital 79 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 3: to undergo a medical evaluation. After experiencing concerning symptoms. Doctors 80 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vaso constriction, and low metabolic 81 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: levels as the cause of her symptoms. Megan has been 82 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: since treated, discharged and is now resting. And go back 83 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: for a second, Yeah, what is that vaso constriction? So 84 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: I know that when I get severe migraines, I actually 85 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: have to take a vasoconstrictor because my veins are like 86 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: bursting with blood. 87 00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: So she had the. 88 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: Opposite, and when I took medicine to stop the migraine, 89 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: I would take a baso constrictor. 90 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 4: That's the only reason why I know what this is. 91 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: And when you are taking something that is constricting your veins, 92 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: and if this was happening to her because she was 93 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: so dehydrated, basically you actually feel like you can't breathe. 94 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 3: There are It's like a pressure against your chest, your neck. 95 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: So if you're singing, you're performing, you feel faint, you 96 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: feel like you can't breathe your chest dehydration massive, Yes, absolutely, gotcha? 97 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: Gotcha. 98 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so that was the official word we got from 99 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: our camp, and then we had kind of a long 100 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: ride up and a detailed one from her in Robes. 101 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 2: This one hit home. 102 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, because you know, babe, I look at you pushing 103 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: yourself to the brink.

Right, You're not giving yourself enough. 137 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: This is not a criticism of her. Please be clear. 138 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: She knows her bodies, our doctors are talking to it, 139 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: you know what's going on. But robes to hear her 140 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: say that my body told me I didn't make a decision. 141 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: My body made it for me. That's a little scary boat. 142 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: Even though she put how many, she's not even a week. 143 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 3: Ind this, Oh yes, she just debuted last week. If 144 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 3: this is an eight week short run. But anyone who's 145 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: on roddy will tell you how. 146 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 4: Grueling this is. 147 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 3: You are doing eight shows a week, and today, by 148 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 3: the way, is the day she's taking a rest. 149 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 4: This is a double day. 150 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: So you've got a matinee on Wednesday and then an 151 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 3: evening performance. And on Saturdays you have a double performance 152 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 3: a matinee, and so. 153 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: You do eight a week. 154 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 3: You get Mondays off and so they're dark on Mondays. 155 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 3: It sometimes it depends show to show, but that's typically 156 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 3: what it is. 157 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 4: And then, yeah, you do eight shows a. 158 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: Week, and every show is just as important as the 159 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: one before it because people have paid a lot of money. 160 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 3: And she knows so many people have come to this show, 161 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: which has been on Broadway for a while, specifically to 162 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: see her, So she knows she's letting down fans who 163 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: have chosen to come see this show specifically to watch 164 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: her sing and perform. 165 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: You know, that's a good point. 166 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: She's bringing in a type of audience that maybe wouldn't 167 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: even consider a Broadway show. She knows how big of 168 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: a deal and how important it is, and because she 169 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: does robes, this had to be incredibly serious. This had 170 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: to be really, really serious. And we didn't get any 171 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: reports necessarily that anyone in the audience saw her fall ill. 172 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 1: She didn't get sick necessarily on stage. 173 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: I have that right, No, but she said she thought 174 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: she was gonna faint at any moment. So if you're thinking, 175 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: I'm in front of a live audience, and again, the 176 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 3: amount of singing and dancing and performing that she's on 177 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: through the entire show. She is in so many scenes. 178 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: It's not like she had time to rest. Sometimes different 179 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: roles require, you know, different types of presence on the stage. 180 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: She's on the stage for so much of this performance. 181 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: And if you've ever seen Mulan Rouge, they give it 182 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: there all. This isn't just about acting. This is about dancing, singing, 183 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: and the whole audience is involved. I mean, this is 184 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: a hell of a show. I mean it is incredible 185 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: and it requires a lot of energy. 186 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: You know, I have to you your point about how 187 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: much this particular show requires. I have the utmost respect 188 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: for Broadway performers, because robes if I paid three hundred 189 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: dollars for my ticket and I just traveled here from Texas, 190 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: this is the biggest night of my life to be 191 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: able to be on Broadway. For those people on stage, 192 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: this is the seventh time they've done this exact same show, 193 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: and they have to treat it as if it's the 194 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: most important thing in the world eight. 195 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: Times a week. 196 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 4: Yep, so hard. 197 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 3: That is. 198 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: I am blown away that they're able to do this 199 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: because there's never been a Broadway show I went to. 200 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, they just kind of phoned it in. 201 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: Oh god, no, God know, And because they know why 202 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: Broadway is what it is, why people will travel from 203 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: all over the world to see the best of the best. 204 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 3: And it's interesting as I'm listening to what she said 205 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: she was experiencing on stage, she thought she was gonna faint. 206 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: Her reps actually got specific and said the reason why 207 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: she left in the middle of the show is because 208 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: she was having trouble breathing, and that is that's the 209 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: base of construction. You actually feel like your breath has 210 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 3: been taken away from you, and if you have to sing, 211 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 3: those two things do not go together at all. 212 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 1: How active is this character? At least some singing is involved, 213 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: but how much singing is this particular character doing. 214 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 4: I'm trying to remember. But they've got plenty of songs. 215 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: And this is and they're on the corner of the 216 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 3: stage telling the story of Satine and and and it's 217 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 3: it really is basically like the narrator. And so, yes, 218 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 3: there is singing, there is projecting, there is uh, there 219 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: are a lot of lines. There are even some numbers 220 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 3: where there is dancing. And yes, this is look and 221 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 3: this is a big deal. As we mentioned, she she's 222 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 3: the first female, but she's she's a woman of color too, 223 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 3: representing that show is it's it's the first, and to 224 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 3: be the first, you always feel that extra pressure. And 225 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 3: so I can't imagine what she must have been feeling 226 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: to actually have to say, damn, y'all, I have to leave. 227 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 3: I have to leave in the middle of the show. 228 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 3: It had to be We knew it had to be serious. 229 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 3: But thank goodness, it's just maybe something that she can 230 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 3: reverse by taking better care of herself. But I'm guessing 231 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 3: she's a perfectionist, much like you are, much like anybody 232 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 3: who gets to a certain level of success and she 233 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 3: probably doesn't want to do anything half ass. 234 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 2: We know she does it. 235 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: Of course, you don't become a Grammy winning rapper now 236 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: by doing anything half ass. However, Robes we have seen 237 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: her up close and personal not do anything half ass. 238 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: Stay here we'll explain our experience with Megan the Stallion 239 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: and also explain why what she said in her Instagram 240 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: post about her health was absolutely a wake up call 241 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: for the Robot Holmes House. 242 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 3: Stare and welcome back everyone to this episode of Amy 243 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 3: and TJ, where we are finally getting word that Megan d. 244 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: Stallion thankfully has been released from the hospital after she 245 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 3: was rushed there in the middle of her performance on 246 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 3: Moulain Rouge in the middle of a Broadway show last night. 247 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 3: We were all worried about what had happened to her, 248 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 3: but turns out yes, she was suffering from extreme exhaustion, 249 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 3: dehydration ASO constriction. She thought she was gonna faint, She 250 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 3: felt like she couldn't breathe, and she said that this 251 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 3: was a massive wake up call. She was scared she 252 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 3: had to be at that point for her to leave 253 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: mid show and know that she had just made her 254 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: debut the week before. This was a big deal that 255 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: she talked a lot about online on Instagram. So excited, 256 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: so honored to be a part of this show in particular, 257 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: but also. 258 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 4: Just making her Broadway debut. That is such a big 259 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: deal for any artist, even Grammy winners. It's a big deal. 260 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: I'm not familiar with the character, but seeing her in 261 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: the outfit worked. 262 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 3: I loved I've never seen a female do it. I've 263 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 3: never seen a female do it, so this was so cool. 264 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: And look, she said, I've always believed in pushing myself creatively, 265 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 3: and theater is definitely a new opportunity that I'm excited 266 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,359 Speaker 3: to embrace. Broadway demands a different level of discipline, preparation, 267 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: and storytelling. But I'm up for the challenge and I 268 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 3: can't wait for everyone to see a new side of me. 269 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: So you know she was gonna she did everything she 270 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: could not to have to go to the hospital. 271 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: All you're saying is lending to just how serious this 272 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: had to have been. Our experience with her had to 273 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: do in the park. We used to do the GMA 274 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: concert series in the summer, and she did come perform once. 275 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: I had the honor of introducing her, and I got 276 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: a few minutes with her on age in the commercial break, 277 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: and I was taken by and Rob, you know how 278 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: I am. I'm always chopping it up and being loose 279 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: and hanging out. It struck me that she ain't want 280 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: to hear anything from me because she was in her lane. 281 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: She was in a zone getting ready to do something 282 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: that where she wasn't being rude at all, but I 283 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: recognize immediately where she was, where her head was, what 284 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: she was trying to do. To the point, I appreciated 285 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: her focus at the time, and she put on a 286 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: hell of a performance. That is our experience in seeing 287 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 1: her being a professional and a perfectionist to a certain deday. 288 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 4: Yes, I remember that morning in the park very well. 289 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: I watched you go up on the stage, you came 290 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: back down afterwards, and we watched her perform, and she 291 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 3: was amazing, So might say Morning Television and and some 292 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 3: of her moves that was the new song necessarily jibe, 293 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 3: but it works right. 294 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 4: She was provocative. She has a way of expressing herself 295 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 4: entertaining as hell. 296 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: Yes, and obviously Good Morning America knew exactly what they 297 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: were getting when they asked her to be a performer. 298 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 3: But even for us, We're like, whoa, okay you? And 299 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 3: look she was being her authentic self. She put on 300 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 3: amazing The crowd loved her in Central Park and it 301 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 3: was early in the morning, and you saw her up 302 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: there doing her thing. Because we got to see a 303 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 3: lot of different performers how they are early in the 304 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: morning after traveling. Look a lot of guys, a lot 305 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 3: of these folks like to sing at night, and liked 306 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 3: there's a reason why singers don't like singing in the morning. 307 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: She was ready to go, fully charged. It didn't matter 308 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 3: what stage she was on. 309 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 4: She gave it her all as if she was on 310 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 4: the biggest stage in the world. 311 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: Well, Rose, what a wake up call.

And guess what that was my wake 362 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 4: up call. 363 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: I hope that being dehydrated or feeling like crap is 364 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 3: a good enough wake up call where someone can actually 365 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: start changing their habits and prioritizing health and rest over 366 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 3: any sort of performance or success, because it doesn't matter 367 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: if you're dead, it doesn't matter if you're fighting a 368 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 3: terminal illness, because all that time and effort you put 369 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 3: into it, now you got to quit to fighting for 370 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: your life. I don't want to see you, or Megandie 371 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 3: Stallion or anyone else put themselves in that situation, because 372 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 3: once it's happened to you, you realize, holy hell, nothing 373 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 3: else matters if I don't have my health. 374 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: You know, I'm so worried that I nothing's going to 375 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: change because I haven't had the wake up call. I 376 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: feel like crap. But I haven't had a major health 377 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 1: issue that has been connected directly to my lifestyle, my 378 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: lack of sleep. I had a doctor several years ago 379 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: tell me you need to quit your literally told me 380 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: you need to quit ABC. Literally told me you need 381 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: to quit that job because it's killing you. I've never 382 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: had a major I haven't had a hard attack, I 383 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: haven't had any major anything. So in my mind, I'm 384 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: being honest ropes. In my mind, I'm good. What I 385 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: can do. This is how I roll. Sometimes you even say, man, 386 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: you're superhuman. Say that I shouldn't say that, but seen 387 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: this happen. And what my issue ends up being is 388 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: mental versus physical. I have mental issues and struggles because 389 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: I don't have enough sleep, and I'm punchy, and I'm 390 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: not in a good mood and I'm not loving enough, 391 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: and I got an attitude that stuff happens. But physically, 392 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: you could take me outside right now I'll run a 393 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: half marathon. 394 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 4: I know you will. 395 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 3: But mental ends up affecting the physical and you know that. 396 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 3: And look, I used to be that person. 397 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 4: People used to joke and say, who do you think 398 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 4: I am? Amy? They called me dormat. 399 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 3: I had lots of names because I always said yes 400 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 3: and I never said no. Once I went through what 401 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 3: I went through, that changed. And please, please, babe, please 402 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,719 Speaker 3: hear Megan's words. Take them to heart seriously, because I 403 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 3: know sometimes it just takes the right message at the 404 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 3: right time, on the right day for it to. 405 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 4: Land and to hit. And maybe maybe maybe you. 406 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: Can start making some choices of prioritizing you. You You're 407 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 3: the most important thing in this relationship. We have the 408 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 3: fact that you are here, and I don't care what 409 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 3: mood you're in. I need you here and I want you. 410 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 3: I want you to get the sleep you need and 411 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: the rest you need. 412 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: I'll ignore you, I don't listen to you for years, 413 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: but I'll listen to making the stallion. That's stupid as well. No, 414 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: I'm not saying she's not the right messenger. I'm saying, 415 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: why does it take something like this? It could take 416 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: something worse for not somebody else outside but before me. 417 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 2: It's a shame. I'm Megan the Stallion. God. 418 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: We just hope she takes care and she's getting the 419 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: wake up call before something awful happens. I ain't got 420 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: the message yet. I admit I'm sucking at this and 421 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I apologize, babe. This wasn't what the episode no, 422 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: but I'll stay on. 423 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 4: You because I do think that is. 424 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 3: But even what's happened to her, I do think part 425 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 3: of what would make her feel good is knowing that 426 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 3: someone else saw what happened to her and it prevented 427 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 3: them from going through the same thing. That is a 428 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 3: big part of being public about and she didn't have 429 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 3: any choice but to be public with what happened on 430 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 3: Tuesday night. But sometimes it's those moments when I can 431 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 3: tell you, having lived through something really really scary and awful, 432 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: to know that someone else might be able to make 433 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 3: a change before they end up in the same place 434 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 3: is actually such a huge reward. So you'd be actually, yes, 435 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 3: it would actually be an honor to her to know 436 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 3: where to hear that she had an impact on. 437 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: So Megan the Stallion, thank you and I love you, 438 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: and Robes I am sorry. Like I apologize, I know 439 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: my behavior and my attitude is not good, it's not loving, 440 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 1: and you're suffering because I am making choices having to 441 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: do with my health and my sleep. It's not just 442 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: about me, it's about other people around me. So I 443 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: will I'll say, I apologize, I'm sorry. I've been trying 444 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: to do better on this, and Megan the stallion is 445 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: just highlighted on a day that I am having maybe 446 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: one of the worst days I've had. 447 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: All year when it comes to myself.
