| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:18.2 | Hello, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, hello, welcome to the naughty but nice show. I'm your host, Rob Shooter. It's Thursday morning here in New York City. Our friend, Mark, is off today, but don't worry, Nauties. We've got a ton of gossip, new celebrity reporting to get to. Let's jump in, shall we? What time isn't, my friends, it is. Tea time, big story at the top of the show. |
| 0:39.4 | So the world has exploded over the fact that Megan Markle is going down to Australia, going down under, |
| 0:45.8 | and now it has been revealed that the whole trip is being paid for. |
| 0:49.9 | And not only that, while Megan is there, she's going to make a ton of money doing meats and greets |
| 0:56.7 | and lots of other stuff. So let me explain here. Megan's upcoming trip to Australia comes with a |
| 1:05.0 | very modern royal twist, which is pay to powers. So the Duchess of Sussex is set to attend a three-day |
| 1:15.4 | wellness-style retreat, where guests are shelling out thousands, not hundreds, thousands of |
| 1:21.6 | dollars to get a chance to take a photograph with her. The commercial angle here has raised eyebrows, especially amongst Royal Watchers, |

| 1:48.4 | from Royal duties. |
| 1:50.0 | So Royals don't do this, but celebrities do. |
| 1:53.2 | You'll be surprised how many pop stars, how many celebrities will do meet and greets if you pay. |
| 1:59.0 | If you pay extra money when you go to see your |
| 2:01.5 | favourite singer, you can get backstage and take a picture. A lot of them hate doing it, but they |
| 2:07.1 | want the cash. And it's a real, real quick way to make a lot of money. And they charge thousands |
| 2:13.7 | of dollars. Not $10 that they give to a charity. It is thousands and thousands of dollars. |
| 2:19.6 | It is a whole business. I have worked with rock bands that literally after the show are making more money backstage, doing quick photographs, meets and greets with fans. |
| 2:31.1 | Also, too, at book signings. If you buy a book, you get a photo. People want photographs. |
