| 0:00.0 | Hey, these are our listeners. A week or two ago, I published a video analyzing the public apology from the public figure named Colleen Ballinger. |
| 0:12.0 | And sometimes when I make a video like this, I think that... Colleen |
| 0:13.9 | Like this I think that I should also publish to the audio feed. It doesn't have very often but |
| 0:19.3 | Occasionally it does and so I thought I would do that here if you don't know who |
| 0:24.6 | Colleen Ballinger is she is a an entertainer on YouTube and for in live shows like on stage and whatnot and on social media. |
| 0:37.0 | She is an entertainer for what seems to be her main audience is young people like you know middle school |
| 0:44.4 | age kids or high school age kids and she is kind of a clown if you just |
| 0:51.0 | Google her and look up and and I mean clown in, I suppose, the positive way where she will dress up in odd clothes. |
| 1:00.0 | She's kind of like a modern day clown like she puts on her her lipstick in this very |

| 1:40.0 | And these are figures that we loved, you know, Mr. Rogers and whatnot. |
| 1:47.0 | And the thing that is not necessarily the case anymore |
| 1:51.0 | is back then you would have a whole production team that would be the meaning that if Pee we Herman if the actor Paul Rubens if he decided that he wanted to do |
| 2:09.2 | something a little beyond the standard, well the standards of entertainment at the time for kids. |
| 2:19.4 | Then the producers, the directors, and maybe even the FCC the government would actually say no you can't |
| 2:26.7 | publish that. |
| 2:27.7 | Whereas today the vast majority of content providers for children are completely unregulated and the |
| 2:37.2 | What we're hoping is that YouTube will regulate these folks but they typically do not. |
| 2:43.2 | So my impression is that YouTube does not want to get into the business of having to |
