Let's take 201 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 2: a listen to Dolly party She says, I'm dead yet, honey, 202 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: stop playing with me. 203 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 3: I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than 204 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: I am, do look sick than you. I'm working hard 205 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 3: here anyway. I wanted to put everybody's mind at ease. 206 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 3: Those zobies that seemed to be real concern, which I appreciate, 207 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 3: And I appreciate your prayers because I'm a person of faith, 208 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,479 Speaker 3: I can always use the prayers for anything and everything. 209 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 3: But I want you to know that I'm okay. I've 210 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: got some problems. As I mentioned back when my husband 211 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 3: Carl was very sick. That was for a long time, 212 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 3: and then when he passed, I didn't take care of myself, 213 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 3: so I let a lot of things go that I 214 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: should have been taken care of. So Anyway, when I 215 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: got around to it, the doctor said, we need to 216 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 3: take care of this, we need to take care of that. 217 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things 218 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: so I could be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt, 219 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 3: you know where I'm kind of having a few treatments 220 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: here and there.

But now, I thought, my lord, but if 225 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: I was really dying, I don't think Rebba would be 226 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: the one at my death man. She would not come 227 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 3: visit me earlier. But anyway, there are just a lot 228 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 3: of rumors flying around.

Their lives depended on these people like Kobe 335 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: Bryant's daughters and his wife who's who you know, Vanessa 336 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: who no longer have him, doctor Bernice A King and 337 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: you know her brother Martin Luther King the third, and 338 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 2: just so many other people, Robin Williams's daughter and their 339 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: family that I have to look at this and be like, 340 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 2: we didn't ask for this. 341 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: Though now and people. 342 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 2: Talk about AI and everything that it will do and 343 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: how it will help. I think these are the moments 344 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: where you're able to have the conversation that a lot 345 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 2: of people who don't think that AI is helpful try 346 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: and have where they're like, but AI and anything tech 347 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: like that that just goes that is just trained to 348 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 2: do something because of a push of a button or 349 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: HTML code or whatever it is that you do the 350 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 2: program AI is to sensitized like a human being, I 351 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: would hope. I mean, because you got to think about it, right, 352 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 2: Like there is a human behind the AI at some point. 353 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: But it's easier to stand behind an AI release of 354 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: something versus having to stand next to something that you've 355 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 2: said or done yourself as a human. And I think 356 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 2: a human being would be more sensitized to things like 357 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: this like okay, does their family want to see this? 358 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 2: And when I say a human being, because again, like 359 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 2: I said, when you talk about AI, there is a 360 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 2: human there, Like someone has to create the idea that 361 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 2: is then executed into an AI version. So there's someone 362 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: somewhere that is like, oh, this would be a good 363 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: idea and then they make it into AI, and AI 364 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 2: is what the world gets. But it's completely different if 365 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: you're a person that is standing on the platform or 366 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: more you know, if you were if you're taunting a 367 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 2: person's legacy in any way as a real human and 368 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 2: not an AI or a bot or whatever. It's so 369 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 2: different than if you're able to hide behind technology, is 370 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 2: my point. And I think that's the scare that a 371 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 2: lot of people have when it comes to AI in 372 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 2: every genre, in every. 373 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: Facet, in every facet of life. 374 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 2: It's like, if you're able to hide behind technology of 375 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 2: this sort, where does a human factor come in? And 376 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 2: do we consider the human factor? And that's a little 377 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: bit scary that you have to think about. 378 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. 379 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 2: I think this is one of the things where you 380 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: take it to the streets and the tweets, and I mean, 381 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: I want to know how you guys feel outside, we outside, 382 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 2: we outside, outside every page I think. I mean, I 383 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: can't imagine if it was me. I can't imagine if 384 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: it was me. And I'm getting on my timeline and 385 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: I'm reliving someone's being in their existence and I didn't 386 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 2: actually do it. And you know, like I think too, 387 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 2: like with family of celebrities, they have it, they have 388 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: it rough. And I think for me in the space 389 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 2: that I sit in, because I remember all of the 390 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: flat that and you know, I'm talking about just human 391 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: error now, not AI era. 392 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: Human error are human. 393 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: Actions that can be perceived as insensitive or error. I 394 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 2: remember being at TMZ when we did the Kobe Bryant 395 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 2: death story, and there were a lot of people who 396 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 2: were upset that the story was even covered because the 397 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 2: way that it came out in news other places, you 398 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 2: know later was that Kobe Bryant's family had not been 399 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: given a heads up or just had the time to 400 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: deal with the news of Kobe Bryant and his daughter 401 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 2: GG crashing and not making it, you know, and dying 402 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: in that helicopter crash. 403 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: But TMC had posted the story, and I remember. 404 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,479 Speaker 2: Everywhere that I went for about two months, that's all 405 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 2: everybody wanted to ask about it, is like, is it 406 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 2: true that you guys didn't give his family a heads up? 407 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: How do you feel about like stuff like that? 408 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 2: And when you're working there and you're a part of 409 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 2: a brand, it's kind of like, you know, I don't 410 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: even think it's just because of where you work. I 411 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 2: think in this world of content, in being able to 412 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: post and upload and update or control someone's emotions from 413 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: a piece of content that you're doing, whether it's a story, 414 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 2: an exclusive, a report, or an AI version of video 415 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: that now family members asking you to take down. 416 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: I think what I learned in that. 417 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 2: Moment from the Kobe Bryant situation was that the covering 418 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 2: of the story. And you know, that's a lot different 419 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: because I also know how the newsroom works, so I 420 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: know that there is no story that doesn't go unalerted. 421 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: Typically that's the rule of thumb like something like that. 422 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: Especially because of who it was, you of course have 423 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: to reach out, you know, work with you know his team, 424 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: and you know all the things right. And I think 425 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: at the same time, in a situation like that, it's 426 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 2: like people are so caught up in celebrity and you know, 427 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 2: things being mundane and things just becoming a job that 428 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: the human factor sometimes it just like it disappears. And 429 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: I think when you live in that world where that's 430 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: what you're doing every single day, it's kind of tough. 431 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 2: It's like, you know, you're in a space where it's 432 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 2: like you have a job. But at the same time, 433 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 2: now removed from the situation, and you know, outside of 434 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 2: that outlet, number one, if I'm being honest, I don't 435 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 2: know a news outlet that would have held that story. 436 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: But number two, now that I'm where I'm at and 437 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: I'm able to like kind of look from the outside end. 438 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if me personally right now, like if 439 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: I had gotten that story first right now on the 440 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: Latest with Laura the Rosa, whether we were here on 441 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: the podcast or at the breakfast club, I don't know 442 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: if I would have done that story not first anyway, 443 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 2: not until I was able to, like you know, like 444 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: speak to I would have to be in a okay 445 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 2: place about being a person to talk about that, and 446 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: I just don't know where I'm at now I. 447 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: Could have done that. And I'm not saying this to 448 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 1: like say that. 449 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 2: You know, I feel like TMZ did anything maliciously or 450 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: like you know, it was just like f his family. 451 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: I know in that situation that wasn't the case, even 452 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: though it's not. It hasn't ever been presented that way. 453 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 2: But I do know even if you call and you 454 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: give a family a heads up or or whatever was done, 455 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 2: because I you know, heard that the proper measures were taken, 456 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 2: which is giving heads up to like. 457 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: You know, different people on his team or whatever. 458 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 2: And then of course you got people on the outside 459 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 2: saying that is not what happened. 460 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: I wasn't my story. I can say that, right, but 461 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: what I will say is. 462 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: We're getting to a place now and content in reporting 463 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: and just so many other things that I feel like 464 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 2: being human again is kind of leading a bit like people, 465 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: because there's so much of the other stuff out there, 466 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: like AI videos and people who are not even with 467 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: us anymore, that people make just to get views on 468 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: a YouTube channel to be able to monetize something. 469 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: Things like that. 470 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: Like I think, because you're seeing stuff like that, people 471 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: want things that make them feel human. And I don't 472 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: know what that balance is between the things that made 473 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 2: people feel human, it made people feel good and all 474 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 2: the other stuff that sometimes happen when you're working for 475 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 2: a media outlet, like when you get a story, you 476 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 2: have to follow that story and you have to put 477 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 2: that story out. 478 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: The balance between that. 479 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 2: And I think the AI situation and conversation is a 480 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 2: bit different too, because as a you know, like as 481 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: a as a RANDO person who just creates an AI 482 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 2: video because you're a fan, that's one thing, especially like 483 00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: I see a lot of these things on like TikTok too, 484 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: or like they're using these videos to like sell product, 485 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: Like you'll create an AI version of like a random 486 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: celebrity dead or live to just like sell a product 487 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 2: and get someone's attention. 488 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: I think that is a bit different because as. 489 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 2: A journalist there's supposed to be a responsibility of like 490 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 2: a why are you telling this story? 491 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: And sometimes it is just to inform. But I don't know. 492 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: I just. 493 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 2: I think that the tide is changing. I think that 494 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: there are more people who want to wait and not 495 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 2: be first, but be a person, be factu at the 496 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 2: same time, and yeah, like everybody and what I do 497 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 2: want to lead conversation. I want to lead conversation, right, 498 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: That's the tagline for this podcast is exclusives. But in 499 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 2: where I sit now, a lot of times I'm thinking, 500 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 2: like when things are like when you just you run 501 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 2: and you put things out, whether you've proven it to 502 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 2: be true or not. At the end of the day, 503 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 2: there's other people on the side of that content, is 504 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 2: what I'm trying to get to. So when you think 505 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 2: about Dolly Parton and her sister, even though her sister 506 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: did not mean no harm, Dolly Parton's on the other 507 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 2: side of that content, and her fans are going crazy 508 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 2: thinking something happened to her when she talked about that 509 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 2: AI photo of her and Riba McIntire, Reba McIntyre is 510 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 2: like at her bedside and she's dying. There's other people 511 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 2: on the side of that content, Dolly Parton's family who 512 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 2: was probably already super protective over her because of her age, 513 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 2: and just you know, things just are sensitive as you 514 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 2: get up there and you know you're a big superstar 515 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 2: who doesn't get the time to take care of yourself 516 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: the way you need to. There's other people on the 517 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: side of that, so or other side of that, I 518 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: don't know. I just think I feel like the tide 519 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: is changing, but it could also be me and my 520 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 2: mental and what I want to take changing as well too. 521 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: I still follow all the brands and this is not again, 522 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 2: this is not a not the TMZ because like I said, 523 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: I don't know any outlet that would have had that 524 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: story and wouldn't have and had it factual and you know, 525 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 2: one hundred percent ready to go and wouldn't have broke 526 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: that story. But I think that's always the question for 527 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: me now in the space that I'm in, and it 528 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,719 Speaker 2: should be the question for anybody online because at this point, 529 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 2: you don't even got to be in a certain position 530 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: to be able to affect people with your content. You 531 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: could just turn on your phone and create a TikTok account. 532 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 2: So what are we really getting out of this? What's 533 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: the you know, what does that look like to the 534 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 2: other person on the side of that content? Is what 535 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: I ask myself a lot now. It's a tough space 536 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 2: to be in. I don't know if there's ever really 537 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 2: answer to that, especially what I do as far as journalism. 538 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: And you know, even if shoot interviews, y'ash, what's on 539 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: the other side of it and isn't worth it? 540 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: Is the question. 541 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 2: I'll see you guys in the streets and the tweets 542 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: because I want to hear from y'all. You know, do 543 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: you guys, you know, at any point in time do 544 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: you think creators, whether it's media outlets, people on social whatever, 545 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 2: do you think we'll ever get to a point where 546 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: people fully stop in their tracks and say, but who 547 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: do I affect on the other side of this? 548 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: And are they okay? Before I do this? Y'all think 549 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 1: we'll get there. I don't know if we'll get there. 550 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 2: I feel like we salacious cells too much like how 551 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 2: sex sells. Salacious things sell too much for us to 552 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 2: ever do that. But let me know what y'all think 553 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 2: I'm learning, I'm growing. I'm here with y'all, and I 554 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 2: don't know how we got to the roundabout. We just 555 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 2: got to and closing out this show. But it made 556 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 2: me think of that and how I felt having to 557 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: answer those questions about yeah, you know, being at the 558 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 2: TMZ at that time, and feeling as a person like 559 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 2: man his family has to deal with that, and but 560 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: then feeling like, I mean, but what outlet would have 561 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 2: held that story? And then looking at you know, doctor 562 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: Bernice King and seeing her response to all of these things, 563 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: and things about the torture that Robin Williams's daughter must 564 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 2: be going through. We didn't make Dolly Parton get online 565 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 2: and post a video. She is Dolly Parton. She you know, 566 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: she got other things to worry about. 567 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure. 568 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: But now we're here, let me know what y'all think. 569 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: Will we ever get there? It's the Ladies with Laura 570 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 2: l Rosa.
