| 0:03.8 | Scandalous new report just dropped exposing how billionaires screw over everyday people. |
| 0:08.0 | An elected official had to crawl on stage for their debate. |
| 0:11.0 | We're going to talk about all that and so much more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco's show. |
| 0:15.0 | So buckle up, hit that like button and a quick update. |
| 0:17.0 | So I accidentally lied. |
| 0:18.0 | Yesterday, I announced all the good stuff that I've launched in, like, about the past week. |
| 0:21.4 | All that I Love Naps goodness on our usual comfiness, but also on crew necks and a champion hoodie, |
| 0:26.3 | emotionally exhausted on an obscene number of colorways, and the helpful reminder, that's the |
| 0:30.1 | go-easy on yourself gear. |
| 0:31.3 | But, this is really more your fault than it is mine. |
| 0:33.6 | I underestimated people's desire to buy our most expensive things. So the champion hoodie sold out. So it's no longer available. But I have a batch of specially tied-died champion |

This isn't a boo-hoo feel bad for Billy's story. So please understand the people that you're watching. They're people, like real people with feelings. |
| 1:47.0 | But any kind of negative content can make you feel less than, can hurt you. And we're seeing that especially in young people in teens. |
