WEBVTT - Britney Spears Arrested, “First Step In Long Overdue Change” 

0:00:02.200 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, everybody. It is Friday, March sixth. You've probably

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>seen the headlines by now Britney Spears has been arrested

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.360
<v Speaker 1>for in suspicion of Dui. With that, we want to

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>welcome you to this episode of Amy and TJ that

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>frankly we were reluctant to do for a number of reasons,

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.240
<v Speaker 1>but rogue. She's a big star. This is a big deal.

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>But man it sucks because, yes, you can argue she

0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>brought on herself, but this is going to be another

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>round of headlines and everybody talking about her, what she

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 1>should do, and so on and so forth.

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think, look, we hesitated because we don't want

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>to pile on. This is clearly a woman who is

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:51.160
<v Speaker 2>celebrated and loved. Hell I listened to her music all

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the time, especially when I'm running. She has been a

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 2>part of our lives for as long as most of

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>us can remember, and we have watched her decline, spiral,

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>have problems, and I feel like most people are rooting

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>for her. We want the best for her, We want

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 2>her to make more music, to feel her own strength

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>and her own power. She's been through so much, and

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 2>to me, the one thing that really stood out that

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>could be a positive note in all of these negative

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.320
<v Speaker 2>headlines she has suffered through for the past two decades.

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>I loved this line. We'll read her full statement, but

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I loved this line. Hopefully this can be the first

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 2>step in long overdue change that needs to occur in

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Britney's life. And I do feel like from what I've

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>seen online, she has a huge fan base that is

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 2>hoping for the best and rooting her on. But this

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 2>is a tough, tough situation and thankfully no one got hurt.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>You again, if you haven't gone beyond the headlines, we

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 1>will tell you what happened. This is reportedly on Wednesday

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>evening out in Los Angeles in southern California, of course,

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>not too far from where she has a home in

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Thousand Oaks. It's out there, people are aware of this.

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>But the report was of a black BMW driving erradically

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>and at high speeds. Police were able to catch up

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>with his vehicle. She did pull over. She was given

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a field sobriety test that apparently the officer thought she failed.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 1>She was taken to jail. She was booked at three am.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>She was out by six am, but that is the story.

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>We have not heard directly from her short of at

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>least we see a move she has made. And I

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>don't keep up with it rogues, but a lot of

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>people are familiar with their Instagram account.

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes I am among her millions and millions of followers,

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 2>but yes, she has deactivated her Instagram account. She did

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 2>that on Thursday, and look, I think that's also a

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>positive sign. A lot of people have only been keeping

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>tabs on Britney Spears over these past few years since

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>she was when since that conservatorship was removed by a

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>judge in twenty twenty one, So for the past five

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 2>years or so, we have been watching her basically through

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 2>her Instagram feed, and frankly, a lot of what we

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>see on that Instagram feed has been concerning, deeply concerning,

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>not just in the videos she's posted, but even in

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 2>some of the captions where she's gone after family members

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 2>and friends and had kind of a stream of consciousness

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>type of caption. She's gone through a messy divorce online,

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>so we've only really been able to gauge how she's

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 2>doing based on her Instagram account, and frankly, she's it's

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 2>been tough to watch at times.

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I think. But then I have other people coming to

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 1>me and said, oh my goodness, you've got to follow Brittany,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think robes and again we want to say

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>she's an adult, and she's responsible for her action. She's

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a mother, all right, to two boys. We hope so

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>many people are point if over the years, pointed to

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>you should check it out, not because it's entertaining, not

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>because it's fun, but because they think it's so disturbing

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that you'll be entertained by how ridiculous it is. It's

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>almost making fun of her, is how I have been

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>told to follow her. It's not described as like it's

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>our entertainment. We are watching this play out, and I

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>think a lot of folks have used it as their entertainment.

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>It's over the years, I'm not suggesting you, but you

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Everybody who has suggested I follow her,

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>we're not doing it for a positive reason. They oh,

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.839
<v Speaker 1>you got to check this out. It's crazy, it's wild,

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>you gotta see it. It wasn't in a positive light,

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm saying. Exactly.

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I would say I would liken it to people watching

0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 2>a train wreck. People would say that that has been

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>what they have seen over the past several years. Because

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>this is Brittany, it's her, it's her Instagram. She can

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 2>do what she wants. But if you haven't followed her. Basically,

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>she has a series or she had because again that

0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 2>account has been dia debated, but she's had a series

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 2>of of she is dancing by herself a lot of times.

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>She's barely clothed. Sometimes she's rolling around the beach with

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>no clothing and she has her nipples exposed, and she

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>puts stars or hearts to cover anything so it won't

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 2>be indecent. But she looks out of control, her makeup lodged,

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. Like she just looks like a wreck.

0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't know how much. I don't follow it,

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>so I can't speak on it. It sounds like a

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of stuff I see on social media. It sounds

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:33.520
<v Speaker 1>performative by some artists. Again, I understand that some people

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>are saying this is different, but I don't know. We

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>don't hear her explain her actions. We don't hear any

0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>of that. So all of this stuff and we don't

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>hear from Britain. Whend was the memoir two three years

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three.

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I believe she put out her memoir, so.

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 1>She's I don't remember her doing necessarily rounds of interviews.

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 2>She did not know, she did not no, not at all,

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 2>so we.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't hear from her at all. And then the time

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>we hear from her and she's in the headline has

0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.760
<v Speaker 1>to do with the DUI. Yes, people are going to

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>speak and speculate and try to put things together, but

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Robes this I hate she's going through it again. I

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 1>am a huge Britney Spears fan, and I am just

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm devastated at the life. I have seen her live

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 1>from the moment I saw that first video of her

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>dancing around bad past high school lockers. Right, That's how

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>we got interested. I did it again, and she has that.

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 1>The moments of victory of us celebrating her in the

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 1>past several years have been just few and far between.

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>She should be at every Grammy Award. She should be

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>at every ward. She is a a an icon an,

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:51.239
<v Speaker 1>iconic royalty type figure there and she's just forty four.

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I know she.

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she came up on the Disney Channel with

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. She was a part of

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 2>that group and she was wildly talent. My god. I

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:04.359
<v Speaker 2>mean to the fact that her music still still lands,

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>still works, still gets me moving, gets me smiling. How

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 2>you know what her music You can poo poo it

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 2>all you want and say she sounds auto tuned and

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 2>her voice isn't that great whatever. That girl could dance,

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 2>that girl could perform, that girl could entertain, And every

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 2>time I hear her music, I feel joy.

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>She's one of the best we've ever seen in our lifetimes.

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>She absolutely is like it, love it. She was a

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>whole part of that new poppy. I guess that that

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>that pop got a little cuter, right, It was the

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>whole era of pop, yes, is that yeah?

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's what I've always heard it referred to.

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 2>And you know what, I am on abashedly a huge

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 2>fan of it.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>The thing is, we all are put on a Britney

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Spears song today, it works, put on a Backstreet Boy song,

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>it works today. That was that era, yep, and she

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>was the queen of it. Emerald. It just devastating that

0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>we continue to watch this person who played a role

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.119
<v Speaker 1>in all of our lives with her music. In Romese,

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>we want to root We're always rooting for, but we don't.

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>We rarely have something to celebrate for. We're always pulling

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>for we are, but there's not It doesn't seem to

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 1>be victories. The conservatorship, that of course, was a big deal.

0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 1>She got out of what the Free Britney movement.

0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 2>The Free Britney movement, she actually yes, I didn't realize

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 2>how long it had lasted, but her father sought that

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 2>out in two thousand and six and it ended in

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one, so thirteen years she was under a conservatorship.

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 2>And look, she has just sold I believe, rights to

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>her music. But she has hinted, certainly in her memoir

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 2>that she was going to start creating more music. I

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 2>think there would be nothing better than to see her

0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 2>put Look, she is a creative force, and to see

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.880
<v Speaker 2>her be able to put that energy and to put

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>some of that genius into new music, into art, that

0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>would be the best case scenario. But I think a

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of folks just realized from the outside looking in, look,

0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>we don't have any sort of internal knowledge, but from

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the outside looking in, just from what we've been given

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a window into her world that she's put out there

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>on social media, it does look deeply concerning, and then

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.440
<v Speaker 2>couple that with the fact that you know she's estranged

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.199
<v Speaker 2>from her father, from her mother, from her sister. You know,

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>you wonder when you don't have family, people who are

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 2>supposed to love you no matter what, around you, because

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 2>you don't trust them. And whether they earned that or not,

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.200
<v Speaker 2>that's not for me to say, but that also just

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>makes your heart go out to her because who is

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 2>there for her? Who is her safe space? Who is

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 2>her cushion? Everyone needs one?

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, we are being told that family is on the way.

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Stay here. We'll let you hear the statement from her

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>own people that seems to suggest a change is coming.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Stay here.

0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back, everyone to this episode of Amy and TJ.

0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:59.400
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about the latest unfortunate headline for pop superstar

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Britney Spears. She has been arrested, booked, and released on

0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 2>suspicion of d UI after police pulled her over. They

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 2>say she was erratic in her driving, She was driving

0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.600
<v Speaker 2>at a high speed, they pulled her over. They say

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>she failed US a field sobriety test and so charges

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.719
<v Speaker 2>are pending. But we did get a statement from her

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:26.320
<v Speaker 2>people that actually provides a glimmer of hope. I think

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 2>for people, and I do believe more people are rooting

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>for her than are celebrating her continued downward spiral.

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Was this the our manager? Was this the manager?

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes, and so we'll read it for you.

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>And I got a lot of hope out of the statement.

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>You know how, you go ahead and read it. I'm

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>not sure how I felt about it.

0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, This is the official statement from the

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Britney Spears camp. This was an unfortunate incident that is

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 2>completely inexcusable. Britney is going to take the right steps

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be

0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the first step in long overdue change that needs to

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>occur in Britney's life. Hopefully she can get the help

0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 2>and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 2>are going to be spending time with her, Her loved

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 2>ones are going to come up with an overdue needed

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 2>plan to set her up for success for well being.

0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Again, it sounds like it's coming from somebody outside of

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:30.200
<v Speaker 1>her telling her once again what's going to happen, is

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:32.760
<v Speaker 1>getting on to her about her actions. I understand that

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>it didn't seem collaborative, It didn't seem like she was

0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a part necessarily of that. You just continue to wonder

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 1>what is going on. Look, all of that sounded good.

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 1>I hope families around. I'm hoping her dear friends are around.

0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I hope she's okay. I quite frankly, she hasn't been

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.680
<v Speaker 1>charged with anything. We don't know for sure what this

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>was about, what was going on with her at the time,

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 1>so we have to leave room for that at the

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>same time. But the headlines are there, and it's just

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I hate her having to go through another round of

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>this stuff in her life and roads the part we

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>talked about it right, if we were back in our

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:14.200
<v Speaker 1>own mainstream news, big broadcast network newsrooms, how this story

0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>would be covered and the way we feel about it

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>now is much different. In this coverage, we like, the

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 1>last thing I want to do is go back and

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>rehash and say, yeah, she did this and then she

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 1>did this thing bad and remember back then, and to

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>stack all this stuff up. I know, I guess robe

0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a part of the story and you're supposed to do,

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 1>but it something about piling on or reminding people of

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.920
<v Speaker 1>her troubles feels awful, and I don't know want to

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 1>look forward, want to be forward thinking and forward looking

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and future and hope for this young lady. But man,

0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I just I hate it forbe.

0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 2>That makes a lot of sense, because I think if

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 2>you can't outlive your past, if every time you do

0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:00.880
<v Speaker 2>anything good or bad or neutral, they're always going to

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 2>bring up that thing you did that made the headline,

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 2>so people will click, so people ears will perk up,

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 2>so people will feel like, Hey, at least my life

0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 2>isn't as bad as hers, you know. I really do

0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.120
<v Speaker 2>think there's some psychology to that, and I do think

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.719
<v Speaker 2>it's important that we do recognize that and remember that

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 2>as we choose not just what to cover, but how

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 2>to cover it, and to cover this with compassion and empathy,

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and not to bring up only I would say only

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 2>in the context of the fact that this woman this

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 2>forty I want to say, young lady. Look, she's forty

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 2>four years old, but in some way she'll always be sixteen.

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just how we remember her. But ever since two

0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.439
<v Speaker 2>thousand and six, and even probably a little bit before then,

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>you're talking twenty years of this of this woman who

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 2>has I feel like, been crying for help and I

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>am just hoping look to it brings tears to my

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 2>eyes to hear reports that her sons, who are now

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty and nineteen, are going to now be spending time

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.080
<v Speaker 2>with her, because some of what she put on on

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 2>social media was just this eight of not being able

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.559
<v Speaker 2>to see her sons, not having a relationship with her sons,

0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 2>being angry about not having a closeness with her sons,

0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>her mom. You know, there are reports that they're reaching

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 2>out if this could bring Sometimes it does take tough

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.520
<v Speaker 2>times to bring people together, to re center people's agendas

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.920
<v Speaker 2>and to recognize that I I this is my daughter,

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.880
<v Speaker 2>this is my mother's let's figure this.

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Out, okay, And again that's fine, and I hope, I

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:33.120
<v Speaker 1>just I know it's her responsibility. She is an adult.

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 1>An adult is not supposed to get behind the wheel impaired.

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Somebody could have been hurt, somebody could have been killed. Yes,

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you should be held responsible for those things. I just robes,

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>how do you in a situation like this, Well, yes,

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:53.200
<v Speaker 1>she possibly is the person who did wrong, But Robes,

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a way to still look at somebody as a

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:00.600
<v Speaker 1>human being and not throw them away because of mistakes

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 1>they make or even continue to make. And to I

0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>think you're right that, yes, there are some so stupid

0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.240
<v Speaker 1>headlines that people trying to be cute about some song

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of hers and incorporate that into this DUI. Yep, that

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of crap is going to happen. But how do

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you just be a human being to this woman who

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>is struggling? Once again? It appears, and I just I

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't She's not on a playlist of mine,

0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.680
<v Speaker 1>but I love every single song she's I'm a fan

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>of hers, I'm a fan of her music, and I

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>just how did we let this treasure of ours, which

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I will say she is and we almost do feel

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>like she belongs to all of us. She's just such

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.240
<v Speaker 1>a part of our lives. And I'm only real I'm

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>forty eight, she's forty four. Yeah, I feel like she's

0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years younger than I am because she was a

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>kid when I first saw her, and I didn't realize,

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I was kind of a kid, Toode you

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>were at that time. It just oh, I can't say.

0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the right words ropes for how to

0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>do and how to handle and how to view and

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 1>how to cover and how to reach out and how

0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.640
<v Speaker 1>to be compassionate not just to her, but to other

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>people that we are so quick to take their worst

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 1>moment and turn it into our punchline or our opportunity

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>to get followers.

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I just hate it, Yeah, because no matter if you're

0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Britney Spears or if you're Joe Smith next door, when

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 2>people say negative, horrible, awful things about you, it hurts,

0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:31.200
<v Speaker 2>It matters, it affects you. It impacts you, period. So

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>I would say, maybe we take this, we root for her,

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 2>we send her positive energy and love, and if you're

0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 2>going to make a comment online, say we're with you,

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 2>we support you.

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>We hope you find the help you need.

0:16:42.440 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 2>That's the spirit in which to look at this story,

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 2>and I hope we can all maybe do that and

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>remember that when we see not just this story about

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Britney Spears, but other folks in the headlines who maybe

0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.760
<v Speaker 2>are now having their worst moments displayed for the world

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>to tear apart, dissect and have a comment on. So anyway,

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>we do wish Britney Spears the best and we hope

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 2>that this is a turning point for her. We absolutely

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 2>thank you all for listening to us. As always, we

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.440
