| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another episode of the Red Cooper Show. I am so excited to be here with you guys again. |
| 0:05.6 | We have made some adjustments since episode one and two. We got these very, very cool vintage headphones |
| 0:11.1 | officially working. So I am back with the headphones. We are experimenting with desk today, which I don't |
| 0:17.2 | really think you guys can see in the shop, but I got some comments. They're like, Brett, where's your |
| 0:20.1 | desk? Which I also did want one. So we're trying some things out. So I'm just |
| 0:23.8 | reminding you guys that there might be things that change, try different lighting. The set might |
| 0:27.8 | evolve. But I'm here. We're talking about important things that I enjoy talking about. And that is all |
| 0:33.2 | that matters. And do not worry, guys, I am reading the comments. |
| 0:39.6 | I know that we need a pop filter on this very, very beautiful mic. |
| 0:43.6 | We have one. |

| 0:59.6 | Do not worry. To get into it, the Grammys were this week. They were on Sunday night, and I did not |
| 1:05.7 | watch. I honestly didn't even know that they were happening until I logged on to social media |
| 1:09.4 | and saw people posting pictures of the red carpet and all of the weird outfits that celebrities were wearing. I then just |
| 1:14.6 | followed along on X and TikTok because that is where I get all of my breaking news. But I do feel |
| 1:19.4 | like I noticed something interesting because the Grammys and all of these award shows, they have |
| 1:23.9 | 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, |
| 1:48.1 | watching all the people at the Capitol put on a spectacle. Not that I'm actually watching a bunch of |
