Full Episode
Welcome back to another episode of the Red Cooper Show. I am so excited to be here with you guys again. We have made some adjustments since episode one and two. We got these very, very cool vintage headphones officially working, so I am back with the headphones. We are experimenting with desk today, which I don't really think you guys can see in the shot, but I got some comments like,
Brett, where's your desk? Which I also did want one. So we're trying some things out. So I'm just reminding you guys that there might be things that change. Try different lighting. The set might evolve. But I'm here. We're talking about important things that I enjoy talking about. And that is all that matters. And do not worry, guys. I am reading the comments.
I know that we need a pop filter on this very, very beautiful mic. We have one. It was supposed to arrive by today. And because Amazon has really lost its mojo, it has been delayed. We actually ordered three of them and none of them arrived. So maybe by next episode, you will have a pop filter on here. But I'm going to be extra careful with my P's and my articulation. Do not worry. To
get into it, the Grammys were this week. They were on Sunday night and I did not watch. I honestly didn't even know that they were happening until I logged onto social media and saw people posting pictures of the red carpet and all of the weird outfits that celebrities were wearing. I then just followed along on X and TikTok because that is where I get all of my breaking news.
But I do feel like I noticed something interesting because the Grammys and all of these award shows, they have gained back significant viewership since the days of COVID when it all dropped and basically no one was watching. But it does feel like the sentiment has changed. Like now we are watching purely for entertainment, not because we revere these people.
It's like, oh my God, the celebrities want to see what the celebrities are doing. Like, I feel like when I am watching clips from the red carpet or seeing who won album of the year or whatnot, I feel like I'm somebody in the Hunger Games watching all the people at the Capitol put on a spectacle. Not that I'm actually watching a bunch of people that I respect be honored for their art. Like it is
totally, totally been flipped, especially with the award shows for film and TV. Like I don't even know anybody who takes the Oscars seriously anymore, which is definitely unfortunate, but it wasn't this way five to 10 years ago. Like I remember growing up in Hollywood and maybe this is me just being biased because I was a child actor and I had that whole part of my life.
Awards season was what I looked forward to every single year. Like my friends and I would get together. We would have parties for every single award show. We would have listened to all the albums. We would have watched all the shows. I was in the actors union. So I voted on all these things. We cared. so deeply.
Like, I would wait all year long to catch a glimpse of these artists and these stars that I respected that had created such amazing art, and I don't feel that way at all anymore. Like, at this point, again, I don't even know the events are happening. I'm like, okay. And compared to five years ago, I literally don't know who any of these people are.
