| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Salser Squad, the podcast about staying sober in the city with your host, Kate Sander and Jess Valentine. |
| 0:25.8 | Hi, Kate. Hi, Jess. We're going to talk about one of your favorite things today. |
| 0:35.0 | Celebrities. Celebrities. I'm so excited. I want to talk about celebrities, pop culture, and how drinking and doing drugs and partying is part of that. |
| 0:42.2 | Very much a part of that. Yeah. I think that the media glamorizes partying, and that's one of the reasons why getting sober and being in recovery feels shameful because you're watching all these extravagant parties, |
| 0:47.1 | you're looking at the Oscars, you know, everybody's fancy, everybody feels high class, |
| 0:51.1 | and that's not always the case. |
| 0:53.3 | And there are a lot more celebrities in recovery |
| 0:55.6 | that I even realized until I started making this list that I'm excited to talk about. Yeah, there were |

| 1:11.7 | Me too. So finding out, I think that he was sober made me kind of like do a quick little |

| 1:38.8 | It's like when they get a little out of control, then like it's almost like we're watching a car |
| 1:42.4 | crash in slow motion that we can't look away. And like they get more media attention because they're kind of spiraling when in reality, |
| 1:49.1 | like it's a really sad thing. Yeah. And then it's like comical. You know, you'll, I don't know if |
| 1:53.6 | SNL does it, but you'll have skits making fun of these celebrities who are struggling and |
| 1:58.4 | fucking killing themselves. Yeah. And there's like the Britney meme of like the 2005, you know, when she like went nuts and |
| 2:03.8 | shaved her head. |
| 2:04.7 | And I think Brittany can survive 2007. |
