| 0:00.0 | Sup, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. You daily dive into the news. |
| 0:05.8 | It is Thursday. There is a lot to talk about today. So buckle up, hit that like button and let's just |
| 0:11.7 | jump into it. Y'all, first step today, let's talk about Ariana Grande's body, or I guess let's talk |
| 0:16.7 | about Ariana Grande's body because we shouldn't be talking about Ariana Grande's body. |
| 0:21.1 | And that, because you know, she's been absolutely everywhere for the past few weeks |
| 0:24.7 | promoting the Wicked Movie. And in just this past week, there's been an insane amount of viral |
| 0:28.3 | posts really dissecting her body. Right, the way it looks in certain photos and videos, |
| 0:32.5 | people speculating about her weight, with many saying, oh, I think she has an eating disorder, |

| 1:09.9 | commenting on that constantly is not particularly helpful and is not always coming from a place of concern. On one hand, |
| 1:15.4 | I get how pointing out behaviors you recognize from having an ED might be useful for people going |
| 1:20.0 | through it. But on the other hand, she is a person, and I doubt this is productive for her to see and is |
| 1:24.0 | probably spiraling her deeper. But then all of that prompting major outlets to publish articles in defense of Ariana |
| 1:28.3 | and her right to just exist in a body without people deciding to get to talk about it all the time. |
| 1:32.3 | L, for example, putting out a piece titled, |
