| 0:00.0 | the bird show time to get buzzed on the hot goss from Hollywood with Abby. It's the |
| 0:06.0 | bird shows entertainment bus. Euphoria creator Sam Levinson and the weekend have teamed |
| 0:11.1 | up for a new show and it is getting terrible reviews like it's the worst HBO show ever |
| 0:19.3 | reviewed type bad. So the show is called the idol and it's about a cult leader that's |
| 0:23.4 | played by the weekend who becomes the love interest of a rising pop star who's played |
| 0:28.1 | by Lily Rose Depth. I'm not mistaken. I think there was a rumor going around that this |
| 0:32.5 | was actually loosely based on Britney Spears. That's just a rumor as of now, but it was |
| 0:38.9 | supposed to take the spot of succession as like the new big Sunday night show on HBO. |

| 1:35.6 | but whatever. So basically people are saying that it's just it's just unnecessary. |
