Hey, he's clean now.

What did you think, Emily?

Well, I did not watch it for that reason.

I didn't want to be part of the Nielsen ratings, frankly.

And I also don't like to watch great music sort of destroyed by the production and the theater, which is what it is.

It's kabuki to me.

Today in the elevator, I was riding in a different bank, one of the other corporations.

Or the other one.

And there was sort of like a very young person there that was obviously getting a tour by someone.

And they were talking about, couldn't help it over here because we were in the same elevator.

He was like, oh, yes, I did X, Y, Z. And it was, oh, it was just one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

It was like the only experience of your life.

You're 12.

And that is exactly the same sort of like flip response that I have to all of these celebrities on stage.

When you contrast the sentiment and the experience and the credibility behind, for example, Jelly Roll versus Billie Eilish, I think about how Jelly Roll has been incarcerated for many years.

In and out, he was a drug addict.

He speaks openly about his criminal history, about his issues with drug addiction.

And then he is there telling us about his testimony and about being saved by Jesus Christ and what faith does and how his heart has turned because of faith and worshiping the Lord and encouraging others to find that same freedom.

And then you have someone that had a number one...

album in the whole world by the age of 16, who has so many billions that she can give $12 million to climate change, a project alone, who lectures me about stolen land but lives comfortably behind gates and a double-digit million-dollar security bill per year and tells me about what the law looks like or how I feel safe or how I support law enforcement or where I'm going to put my money and my safety and my family.
