We've got to talk about why this Billy Eilish problem is actually an everybody problem.

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

0:41.3

And so with that saying, you know, then she'll feel like the world's against her. Everyone hates her, even though it's really just a tiny fraction of reality of her family. But I'll tell you as someone that has like 1% of her fame. When you confront it with that kind of hate, it's hard to understand the tiny fraction. It can feel all encompassing. Here's the deal. 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.
