1 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody. It is Friday, March sixth. You've probably 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: seen the headlines by now Britney Spears has been arrested 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: for in suspicion of Dui. With that, we want to 4 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: welcome you to this episode of Amy and TJ that 5 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: frankly we were reluctant to do for a number of reasons, 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: but rogue. She's a big star. This is a big deal. 7 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: But man it sucks because, yes, you can argue she 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: brought on herself, but this is going to be another 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: round of headlines and everybody talking about her, what she 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: should do, and so on and so forth. 11 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 2: Yes, I think, look, we hesitated because we don't want 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: to pile on. This is clearly a woman who is 13 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 2: celebrated and loved. Hell I listened to her music all 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: the time, especially when I'm running. She has been a 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: part of our lives for as long as most of 16 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: us can remember, and we have watched her decline, spiral, 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: have problems, and I feel like most people are rooting 18 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: for her. We want the best for her, We want 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: her to make more music, to feel her own strength 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: and her own power. She's been through so much, and 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: to me, the one thing that really stood out that 22 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: could be a positive note in all of these negative 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: headlines she has suffered through for the past two decades. 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 2: I loved this line. We'll read her full statement, but 25 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 2: I loved this line. Hopefully this can be the first 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 2: step in long overdue change that needs to occur in 27 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: Britney's life. And I do feel like from what I've 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 2: seen online, she has a huge fan base that is 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: hoping for the best and rooting her on. But this 30 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: is a tough, tough situation and thankfully no one got hurt. 31 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: You again, if you haven't gone beyond the headlines, we 32 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: will tell you what happened. This is reportedly on Wednesday 33 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: evening out in Los Angeles in southern California, of course, 34 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: not too far from where she has a home in 35 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: Thousand Oaks. It's out there, people are aware of this. 36 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: But the report was of a black BMW driving erradically 37 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: and at high speeds. Police were able to catch up 38 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: with his vehicle. She did pull over. She was given 39 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: a field sobriety test that apparently the officer thought she failed. 40 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: She was taken to jail. She was booked at three am. 41 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: She was out by six am, but that is the story. 42 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: We have not heard directly from her short of at 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: least we see a move she has made. And I 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: don't keep up with it rogues, but a lot of 45 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: people are familiar with their Instagram account. 46 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: Yes I am among her millions and millions of followers, 47 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 2: but yes, she has deactivated her Instagram account. She did 48 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: that on Thursday, and look, I think that's also a 49 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: positive sign. A lot of people have only been keeping 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: tabs on Britney Spears over these past few years since 51 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: she was when since that conservatorship was removed by a 52 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: judge in twenty twenty one, So for the past five 53 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: years or so, we have been watching her basically through 54 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: her Instagram feed, and frankly, a lot of what we 55 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: see on that Instagram feed has been concerning, deeply concerning, 56 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 2: not just in the videos she's posted, but even in 57 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: some of the captions where she's gone after family members 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: and friends and had kind of a stream of consciousness 59 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: type of caption. She's gone through a messy divorce online, 60 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: so we've only really been able to gauge how she's 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: doing based on her Instagram account, and frankly, she's it's 62 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: been tough to watch at times. 63 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: I think. But then I have other people coming to 64 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: me and said, oh my goodness, you've got to follow Brittany, 65 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: and I think robes and again we want to say 66 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: she's an adult, and she's responsible for her action. She's 67 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: a mother, all right, to two boys. We hope so 68 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: many people are point if over the years, pointed to 69 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: you should check it out, not because it's entertaining, not 70 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: because it's fun, but because they think it's so disturbing 71 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: that you'll be entertained by how ridiculous it is. It's 72 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: almost making fun of her, is how I have been 73 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 1: told to follow her. It's not described as like it's 74 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: our entertainment. We are watching this play out, and I 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: think a lot of folks have used it as their entertainment. 76 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: It's over the years, I'm not suggesting you, but you 77 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Everybody who has suggested I follow her, 78 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: we're not doing it for a positive reason. They oh, 79 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: you got to check this out. It's crazy, it's wild, 80 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: you gotta see it. It wasn't in a positive light, 81 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. Exactly. 82 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: I would say I would liken it to people watching 83 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 2: a train wreck. People would say that that has been 84 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: what they have seen over the past several years. Because 85 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: this is Brittany, it's her, it's her Instagram. She can 86 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: do what she wants. But if you haven't followed her. Basically, 87 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: she has a series or she had because again that 88 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 2: account has been dia debated, but she's had a series 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 2: of of she is dancing by herself a lot of times. 90 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 2: She's barely clothed. Sometimes she's rolling around the beach with 91 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: no clothing and she has her nipples exposed, and she 92 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: puts stars or hearts to cover anything so it won't 93 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: be indecent. But she looks out of control, her makeup lodged, 94 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 2: et cetera. Like she just looks like a wreck. 95 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how much. I don't follow it, 96 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: so I can't speak on it. It sounds like a 97 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: lot of stuff I see on social media. It sounds 98 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: performative by some artists. Again, I understand that some people 99 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: are saying this is different, but I don't know. We 100 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: don't hear her explain her actions. We don't hear any 101 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: of that. So all of this stuff and we don't 102 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: hear from Britain. Whend was the memoir two three years 103 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. 104 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: I believe she put out her memoir, so. 105 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: She's I don't remember her doing necessarily rounds of interviews. 106 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: She did not know, she did not no, not at all, 107 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 2: so we. 108 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: Don't hear from her at all. And then the time 109 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: we hear from her and she's in the headline has 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: to do with the DUI. Yes, people are going to 111 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: speak and speculate and try to put things together, but 112 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Robes this I hate she's going through it again. I 113 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: am a huge Britney Spears fan, and I am just 114 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: I'm devastated at the life. I have seen her live 115 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: from the moment I saw that first video of her 116 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: dancing around bad past high school lockers. Right, That's how 117 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: we got interested. I did it again, and she has that. 118 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 1: The moments of victory of us celebrating her in the 119 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: past several years have been just few and far between. 120 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: She should be at every Grammy Award. She should be 121 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: at every ward. She is a a an icon an, 122 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 1: iconic royalty type figure there and she's just forty four. 123 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: I know she. 124 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: I mean, she came up on the Disney Channel with 125 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. She was a part of 126 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: that group and she was wildly talent. My god. I 127 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: mean to the fact that her music still still lands, 128 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 2: still works, still gets me moving, gets me smiling. How 129 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: you know what her music You can poo poo it 130 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: all you want and say she sounds auto tuned and 131 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: her voice isn't that great whatever. That girl could dance, 132 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: that girl could perform, that girl could entertain, And every 133 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: time I hear her music, I feel joy. 134 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: She's one of the best we've ever seen in our lifetimes. 135 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: She absolutely is like it, love it. She was a 136 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: whole part of that new poppy. I guess that that 137 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: that pop got a little cuter, right, It was the 138 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: whole era of pop, yes, is that yeah? 139 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: I mean that's what I've always heard it referred to. 140 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: And you know what, I am on abashedly a huge 141 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: fan of it. 142 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: The thing is, we all are put on a Britney 143 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: Spears song today, it works, put on a Backstreet Boy song, 144 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: it works today. That was that era, yep, and she 145 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: was the queen of it. Emerald. It just devastating that 146 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: we continue to watch this person who played a role 147 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,119 Speaker 1: in all of our lives with her music. In Romese, 148 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: we want to root We're always rooting for, but we don't. 149 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: We rarely have something to celebrate for. We're always pulling 150 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: for we are, but there's not It doesn't seem to 151 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: be victories. The conservatorship, that of course, was a big deal. 152 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: She got out of what the Free Britney movement. 153 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: The Free Britney movement, she actually yes, I didn't realize 154 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: how long it had lasted, but her father sought that 155 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: out in two thousand and six and it ended in 156 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, so thirteen years she was under a conservatorship. 157 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: And look, she has just sold I believe, rights to 158 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: her music. But she has hinted, certainly in her memoir 159 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: that she was going to start creating more music. I 160 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: think there would be nothing better than to see her 161 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 2: put Look, she is a creative force, and to see 162 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: her be able to put that energy and to put 163 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: some of that genius into new music, into art, that 164 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: would be the best case scenario. But I think a 165 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: lot of folks just realized from the outside looking in, look, 166 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: we don't have any sort of internal knowledge, but from 167 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 2: the outside looking in, just from what we've been given 168 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: a window into her world that she's put out there 169 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: on social media, it does look deeply concerning, and then 170 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: couple that with the fact that you know she's estranged 171 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: from her father, from her mother, from her sister. You know, 172 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: you wonder when you don't have family, people who are 173 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: supposed to love you no matter what, around you, because 174 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: you don't trust them. And whether they earned that or not, 175 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 2: that's not for me to say, but that also just 176 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: makes your heart go out to her because who is 177 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: there for her? Who is her safe space? Who is 178 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: her cushion? Everyone needs one? 179 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: Well, we are being told that family is on the way. 180 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: Stay here. We'll let you hear the statement from her 181 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: own people that seems to suggest a change is coming. 182 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: Stay here. 183 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: Welcome back, everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ. 184 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 2: We're talking about the latest unfortunate headline for pop superstar 185 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: Britney Spears. She has been arrested, booked, and released on 186 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 2: suspicion of d UI after police pulled her over. They 187 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: say she was erratic in her driving, She was driving 188 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: at a high speed, they pulled her over. They say 189 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: she failed US a field sobriety test and so charges 190 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 2: are pending. But we did get a statement from her 191 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: people that actually provides a glimmer of hope. I think 192 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: for people, and I do believe more people are rooting 193 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: for her than are celebrating her continued downward spiral. 194 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: Was this the our manager? Was this the manager? 195 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, and so we'll read it for you. 196 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: And I got a lot of hope out of the statement. 197 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: You know how, you go ahead and read it. I'm 198 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: not sure how I felt about it. 199 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, This is the official statement from the 200 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: Britney Spears camp. This was an unfortunate incident that is 201 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps 202 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be 203 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: the first step in long overdue change that needs to 204 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 2: occur in Britney's life. Hopefully she can get the help 205 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys 206 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 2: are going to be spending time with her, Her loved 207 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: ones are going to come up with an overdue needed 208 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: plan to set her up for success for well being. 209 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: Again, it sounds like it's coming from somebody outside of 210 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: her telling her once again what's going to happen, is 211 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: getting on to her about her actions. I understand that 212 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: it didn't seem collaborative, It didn't seem like she was 213 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: a part necessarily of that. You just continue to wonder 214 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: what is going on. Look, all of that sounded good. 215 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: I hope families around. I'm hoping her dear friends are around. 216 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: I hope she's okay. I quite frankly, she hasn't been 217 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: charged with anything. We don't know for sure what this 218 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: was about, what was going on with her at the time, 219 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: so we have to leave room for that at the 220 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: same time. But the headlines are there, and it's just 221 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: I hate her having to go through another round of 222 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: this stuff in her life and roads the part we 223 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: talked about it right, if we were back in our 224 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: own mainstream news, big broadcast network newsrooms, how this story 225 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: would be covered and the way we feel about it 226 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: now is much different. In this coverage, we like, the 227 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: last thing I want to do is go back and 228 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: rehash and say, yeah, she did this and then she 229 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: did this thing bad and remember back then, and to 230 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: stack all this stuff up. I know, I guess robe 231 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: that's a part of the story and you're supposed to do, 232 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: but it something about piling on or reminding people of 233 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: her troubles feels awful, and I don't know want to 234 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: look forward, want to be forward thinking and forward looking 235 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: and future and hope for this young lady. But man, 236 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: I just I hate it forbe. 237 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: That makes a lot of sense, because I think if 238 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 2: you can't outlive your past, if every time you do 239 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: anything good or bad or neutral, they're always going to 240 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 2: bring up that thing you did that made the headline, 241 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: so people will click, so people ears will perk up, 242 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 2: so people will feel like, Hey, at least my life 243 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: isn't as bad as hers, you know. I really do 244 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: think there's some psychology to that, and I do think 245 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 2: it's important that we do recognize that and remember that 246 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: as we choose not just what to cover, but how 247 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: to cover it, and to cover this with compassion and empathy, 248 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 2: and not to bring up only I would say only 249 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: in the context of the fact that this woman this 250 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: forty I want to say, young lady. Look, she's forty 251 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: four years old, but in some way she'll always be sixteen. 252 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: It's just how we remember her. But ever since two 253 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 2: thousand and six, and even probably a little bit before then, 254 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: you're talking twenty years of this of this woman who 255 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 2: has I feel like, been crying for help and I 256 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 2: am just hoping look to it brings tears to my 257 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 2: eyes to hear reports that her sons, who are now 258 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: twenty and nineteen, are going to now be spending time 259 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: with her, because some of what she put on on 260 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 2: social media was just this eight of not being able 261 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 2: to see her sons, not having a relationship with her sons, 262 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: being angry about not having a closeness with her sons, 263 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: her mom. You know, there are reports that they're reaching 264 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: out if this could bring Sometimes it does take tough 265 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: times to bring people together, to re center people's agendas 266 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: and to recognize that I I this is my daughter, 267 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 2: this is my mother's let's figure this. 268 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: Out, okay, And again that's fine, and I hope, I 269 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: just I know it's her responsibility. She is an adult. 270 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: An adult is not supposed to get behind the wheel impaired. 271 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: Somebody could have been hurt, somebody could have been killed. Yes, 272 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: you should be held responsible for those things.
