Meghan Markle's interview with Oprah is getting a lot of attention, and I can't help but wonder if she's just trying to get attention for the wrong reason. I mean, if you don't love the attention, why not just go live a normal life? And if you do, then maybe you should just go do what you want. I know I've dealt with some BS in my life, so I'm here to tell you that you're not the only one who's been there, and that's not always a bad thing. I also talk about my experience with meeting the royal family, and how great it was to meet Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry. I'm not a fan of starstruck people, but I can assure you that it's a rare thing to meet someone who has lived through so much, and has had so much in their life, that you have to be prepared for it. I'm sure you'll agree that it doesn't get any easier than that! . And I'll tell you why you shouldn't have to deal with it, and why it's not a good thing at all. I'll also tell you about the time I met the Queen and how awesome it was and why you should never have to go through that. And, of course, I have a story about meeting the Queen. . I'll be back in a minute, so stay tuned for that ! Thank you so much for listening to this episode of in the future episodes of the podcast! , I'll see you next week! -Podcast -Jon Sorrentino Jon -- Tom John Michael Sarah Evan Tim Chad Bill Ben Markle Matt Kevin Rachel Cheers, Jake Caitie Brian Mike Chris Amy Emily Jordan Thanks for listening Joe Matthew Love Island Justin Luke Kristy Don't Tell Me What You're Obsessed?

00:00:00.000All right, guys, you knew it was coming.
00:00:02.000We're talking Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and the Oprah interview.
00:00:06.000You know, I actually couldn't care less about this stuff, really, but since everyone's talking about it and every other tweet is coming up, I think we got to address some of this stuff because I have a feeling that I can relate a little bit.
00:00:23.000You know, it's... I've dealt a lot with press and high-profile families and a lot of BS and...
00:00:30.000Are we pretending that Meghan Markle isn't the kind of person that was like looking for all of this attention?
00:00:36.000Because it seems like literally all of her actions in life up until now were about getting that kind of attention for herself.
00:00:44.000She just wants it to be good attention.
00:00:46.000The problem is if you don't have the personality to do that, it doesn't always work out as much.
00:00:51.000One of the things I was a little bit shocked in the interview was that there was literally no questioning Of her, as far as I'm concerned, again, I'm following this on Twitter, so I'm not watching this thing.
00:01:01.000It's, you know, not worth the time, but I didn't see any of it.
00:01:03.000I would have thought there would have been.
00:01:05.000You know, her being asked about the allegations of verbal abuse to her staff because, you know, she was she was living in terrible conditions.
00:01:14.000It was brutal with a staff in a castle.
00:01:22.000Who are we kidding? Guys, imagine I went to you guys and said, it's terrible to have to live at Mar-a-Lago.
00:01:32.000You know, I'm not sure there's an equivalent to Buckingham Palace or one of the palaces over there in America, but like, if there is one, Mar-a-Lago is close.
00:01:40.000If I made that complaint with a straight face, you guys would laugh me off of this page, even my fans, and you'd be 100% right.
00:01:53.000Again, didn't seem like she was hiding from the press.
00:01:57.000Didn't seem like she wasn't buying with full disclosure.
00:02:00.000Meaning, if you're marrying into the British royal family, you probably understand that there is some stuff that comes along with that that isn't always going to be awesome.
00:02:10.000Right? This notion of those complaints and the victimhood around it.
00:02:14.000Obviously, racism is a terrible thing, but like, let's hear more about it.
00:02:21.000It seems like that's not the case, but it seems like you're trying to create a story for more of that attention that you're pretending you don't love.
00:02:30.000If you don't love the attention, if you want to be left alone and live a normal life, you don't go do!
00:02:35.000An interview with Oprah watched by 35 million people, right?
00:02:41.000I didn't understand the formality of meeting the queen.
00:02:45.000Ask your boyfriend. Ask your would-be husband.
00:02:48.000Guess what? I have some experience with this, guys.
00:02:52.000I had, you know, the awesome privilege, frankly, of meeting the royal family, you know, not this past summer, but the summer before that.
00:03:01.000Went to Buckingham Palace, and what was sort of interesting, you know, they talk about some of those things, and this is what you do when you meet the queen, and yada, yada, yada.
00:03:09.000And so I was waiting, and they had us in a room, and literally, we were behind some doors, and they opened, and there was the queen.
00:03:15.000I just happened to be the person standing literally right in front of the doors.
00:03:18.000And so I was there, and I'm three feet, Four feet away from the Queen of England, someone with this incredible story who's lived through so much, met with some of them.
00:03:30.000And I'm not a guy that gets starstruck.
00:03:32.000I could care less usually. That is not my thing.
00:03:35.000I'm sort of much more into regular people than I am to the BS Hollywood scene.
00:03:39.000It's never been my thing. It never will be.
00:03:41.000But the Queen of England was there with her life story just like, wow.
00:03:44.000I was like, I don't even know what to do.
00:03:46.000She literally grabbed me by the arm, gave me like a pat on the shoulders.
00:03:49.000Come on in. She was the coolest person ever for someone that age.
00:03:54.000She recognized it was sort of a, you know, I was unusually and uncharacteristically a little bit like a deer in the headlights, brought us in, was totally welcoming.
00:04:39.000But you would never hear that based on what Mannion was saying.
00:04:42.000If Don Trump Jr. came to me and- to you guys and said, you know guys, I'm in my late 30s or 40s and I was cut off financially from the family, all I have is, you know, 10 million pounds, you know, like, what, 13, 14 million dollars?
00:04:56.000You know, from my mother's estate or something like that to say, I don't know what to- you guys would- you guys would say I'm a joker!
00:05:12.000And again, if you're a Hollywood leftist, if you're an uber liberal, loved by those people, celebrity, you're getting 37 million people to watch, guess what?
00:05:20.000People are going to write you checks for doing virtually nothing.
00:05:36.000You see the home they're buying. They don't look like they're exactly impoverished or they've been cut off and they're running around destitute.
00:05:41.000I mean, I know people, you know, that are worried about making rent next month, not buying, you know, $15 million homes.
00:05:47.000There's a pretty significant difference.
00:05:49.000And again, them in Hollywood with that celebrity, They'll be just fine.
00:05:55.000They'll be making more money than God in a matter of nothing.
00:05:58.000But, like, are we really pretending that, like, she is a victim of all of this?
00:06:15.000Uh, you know, he actually seems like a dude that I'd want to have a beer with.
00:06:20.000Uh, I'm not sure what's happened to him over the last couple of years.
00:06:23.000And you know, guys, we've been in love before.
00:06:25.000That has changed us. We've seen this happen.
00:06:27.000It will not be the first time and it will not be the last time that that happened.
00:06:32.000Like, I feel like he's a dude in a hostage video, you know, playing along, and he's been, like, brainwashed into some sort of, you know, woke reality, you know, perhaps missing sort of the real reality of what's going on in the world and some of the hypocrisy of what's going on around that.
00:06:47.000So, actually, I feel bad for him, but, like, Her getting up there being the victim of all this when it seems like there's people that work for her that say she's no angel and honestly guys I don't know I don't know where from Adam but when I'm watching those videos when I'm watching this interview I can almost guarantee you that those people Probably were verbally abused and treated like crap, because she doesn't seem like the kind of person that treats other people all that well.
00:07:14.000You know, I get there's the woke image that she puts out there and all of that stuff, and so I'll get canceled for saying it, but, like, are we really pretending that this seems like this is a nice and humble, warm woman that had no idea what she was getting into, had no idea that there would be press when she was a princess of England?
00:07:37.000Give me a freaking break. I'm sure I'll have more commentary on this in time, but in the meantime, I'll just enjoy reading the commentary online.
