| 0:00.0 | So you beautiful bastards, hope you've got a fantastic Tuesday. Welcome back to the Philip |
| 0:04.1 | DeFranco Show and let's just jump into it. And the first thing we're going to talk about today |
| 0:07.6 | actually involves everyone's favorite game show. Who are a number of people angry at today |
| 0:12.4 | news with actually a return contestant, Nikita Dragon, who actually the last time we mentioned |
| 0:16.8 | on this show, uh, it was because she showed up to the VMAs with three collared men on leashes. |
| 0:21.6 | Although we didn't really dive into that backlash, we used that as a reason to talk about the water crisis in New Jersey. |
| 0:25.6 | But this week you may have seen her face in a number of places including the BBC, because she is being accused of cultural appropriation. |

| 1:20.6 | This is actually a wig. |
| 1:21.6 | I know. |
| 1:22.6 | I didn't actually get it braided, but I know a lot of times people get crazy in terms of like trying to rename a style or something that has such deep rooted culture and I would never want to obviously offend anybody. |
| 1:34.3 | You know, me being part Native American, we also have braids and stuff like that. |
| 1:39.3 | But I just wanted to take this moment to really just show my love because I feel like there is a double standard for people who wear styles that are predominantly obviously black or come from |
