Hey guys, welcome back to the show.

Today we're going to be talking about the collective temper tantrum that celebrities seem

0:14.4

to be throwing in the middle of this pandemic.

0:17.2

Now we all know that Hollywood celebrities thrive on attention.

0:21.5

Attention is how their careers survive and also just on a more personal

0:26.1

level I feel like most celebrities are the type of people who just need attention

0:32.2

you know they don't really do too well with being ignored.

0:35.6

But since things at the moment like show business, in addition to really all types of business

1:35.8

social media it kind of seems like more and more celebrities and I mean a shocking amount of them as we will see are also getting on board another tried and true approach to making headlines

1:47.4

and that's giving crazy progressive nonsensical political takes that the establishment media just eats up.

With all the talk about the Rona, people have stopped talking about the flu, which has still killed 16,000 people and hospitalized over a quarter million in the US alone, and the season isn't even over.
