| 0:00.0 | It's just, it's attention grabby. It's wanting, it's wanting to be in the headlines. |
| 0:06.3 | You know, we're going to see all the outfits. It's good for our business. But I just think that since |
| 0:11.1 | they're clearly not that good at business, they should cool it a little. Like just be private. |
| 0:17.4 | Just be a family. Like take the money that you've made and invest it wisely and live in |
| 0:24.4 | privacy. Why invite all this, like, all this speculation and chatter? I don't think she wants to be a |
| 0:30.5 | normal girl. No, I mean, she doesn't. And he doesn't know how to be normal, obviously. |
| 0:40.4 | Well, well, well, we are back, Chandler, another episode of Pop Apologists. |
| 0:46.1 | Can I tell you, I'm so happy because we have a whole outline in front of us, a truly stunning outline of many celebrity topics I am like dying to discuss, none of it related to Jeffrey Epstein. |
