Transcript

00:00:00.000 Miranda Lambert recently has caught some hot water.
00:00:04.880 Miranda Lambert is the country singer of the decade.
00:00:07.420 I grew up listening to Miranda Lambert.
00:00:10.500 She is a fiery country singer with literally a beautiful voice.
00:00:15.580 I love her song, The House That Built Me.
00:00:18.220 She has had so many number one records.
00:00:20.800 If you listen to country music at all, you know who Miranda Lambert is.
00:00:24.480 Um, country music, I think that country music is one of the few genres we have left, but barely.
00:00:31.180 Anyways, Miranda Lambert was giving a concert and scolded a woman for taking a selfie at the concert.
00:00:38.900 Um, let's, let's watch.
00:00:44.300 Something bound to fall apart.
00:00:49.300 I'm gonna stop right here for a sec, Danny, I'm sorry.
00:00:54.480 These girls are worried about the selfie and not listening to the song.
00:00:58.300 It's pissing me off a little bit.
00:01:01.180 I don't like it. I don't know.
00:01:09.180 We're here to hear some country music tonight.
00:01:11.140 I'm singing from Country Day Music.
00:01:17.680 Shall we start again?
00:01:21.100 Oh, that wasn't even that bad.
00:01:40.080 Wow.
00:01:41.300 Okay, that was the first time I actually watched the clip.
00:01:43.980 I thought it was gonna be so much worse.
00:01:45.820 I mean, I'll see.
00:01:48.900 Okay.
00:01:49.960 So, there's a lot of people that said Miranda was wrong for this.
00:01:54.140 I mean, these girls spent over $1,000 on their tickets.
00:01:58.540 And, you know, in a way, I can understand where they're coming from.
00:02:04.280 But at the end of the day, Miranda Lambert has worked her whole career to build a show.
00:02:10.960 And we get these women coming in where they're not even watching the concert.
00:02:16.380 They're just taking selfies.
00:02:17.420 I recently went to a concert.
00:02:19.040 And it's actually crazy how little, like, women will watch the concert.
00:02:23.660 And the whole time, they'll just be, like, selfie, video, selfie.
00:02:27.740 I understand, like, one or two snapshots.
00:02:30.480 But I'm just thinking, if she had this reaction, how long were they doing this?
00:02:36.580 Like, I doubt it was one picture.
00:02:38.460 It was probably the whole time, selfie, selfie, video selfie.
00:02:43.840 These girls are worried about the selfie and not listening to the song.
00:02:46.440 It's pissing off a little bit.
00:02:47.780 Okay.
00:02:48.140 She said, I'm gonna stop here for a second.
00:02:51.580 These girls are worried about the selfie and not listening to the song.
00:02:55.580 Now, is this that crazy of a request?
00:02:58.900 Because I'm just thinking, like, if you're front row at a concert, like, you would think you would be there to watch it.
00:03:06.060 It's like, women, we just can't do anything.
00:03:08.800 We can't go anywhere without worrying about social media first.
00:03:12.840 And a lot of people were taking the girls' side and saying they paid for the tickets.
00:03:17.840 They have a right to do whatever they want.
00:03:19.680 But she also has a right to require whatever she wants at a concert.
00:03:24.180 I went to a Dave Chappelle show a couple months ago.
00:03:27.440 And it's gotten so bad that they take phones at concerts so people will listen.
00:03:32.480 And I didn't really think she came across rude.
00:03:35.300 I didn't think she really said anything that unreasonable.
00:03:39.300 And honestly, the way people were reacting and, like, the headlines I've seen, I totally thought she, like, yelled at them.
00:03:45.500 But all she really did was ask them to put their phones away and kept singing.
00:03:49.840 I don't really think that makes her a bitch.
00:03:51.460 I don't really think that makes her crazy.
00:03:52.940 And I think if the woman has worked for a decade to put on a show, she has a right to require that from her fans.
00:04:01.880 Now, what do the comments say?
00:04:04.000 By the way, the correct answer here is Miranda Lambert is a huge brat.
00:04:08.280 Imagine being such a diva that you scold fans who paid a premium for front row seats and demand how they must enjoy the music.
00:04:16.560 Such a brat.
00:04:17.500 I just really didn't think it was that bad.
00:04:21.500 Well, and the other thing to consider is, you know, I'm an entertainer.
00:04:26.180 I play guitar.
00:04:27.040 I'll do music.
00:04:28.480 It's really distracting as an entertainer when the people in the front row are on their phones the whole time.
00:04:35.580 Guys, I doubt this was one selfie.
00:04:39.560 I doubt that she was just, they took a couple pictures and she got mad.
00:04:45.100 I am sure it was like an hour straight of selfies.
00:04:48.020 And I'm telling you this because I watched it.
00:04:51.040 I watched it.
00:04:52.060 You know, me and the whole team went to the weekend, like, the other week.
00:04:56.260 They gave us, like, free, I don't know, these, like, seats and, like, a special box.
00:05:01.740 I don't even, I don't know.
00:05:02.760 But it was crazy, like, all of the girls were just on their phones the entire time.
00:05:09.020 We understand a picture or two here or there.
00:05:11.660 But at some point, it's just like, are you here to watch the concert?
00:05:15.460 And not only that, it's distracting to the other people at the concert.
00:05:21.160 Imagine being next to a group that the whole time is just talking, taking selfies.
00:05:26.260 You know, I think the artists have a right to demand that the people at their concert don't act like children.
00:05:35.720 You know, if people get too drunk at a concert, they get escorted out.
00:05:39.680 I have never seen people get mad at a man being escorted out because he was too drunk.
00:05:46.700 I have never seen anyone.
00:05:48.100 But whenever someone holds a woman accountable for bad behavior, we get mad.
00:05:54.500 And that's the thing.
00:05:55.520 It's like, you can't tell women to do anything without people saying, oh, the women are victims, the poor women, da-da-da-da-da.
00:06:04.620 When the truth of the matter is, when we see a man that's too drunk and he gets escorted out, nobody questions it.
00:06:11.860 No one says, well, he paid for those tickets.
00:06:14.800 Does he have a right to enjoy it how you want?
00:06:17.920 No.
00:06:18.700 You do not have the right to do whatever you want at a concert.
00:06:22.320 There are rules and there are social norms.
00:06:25.140 And if you break either of those, the artists have a right to tell you to leave.
00:06:29.640 So I'm team Miranda on this one.
00:06:32.900 All right.
00:06:33.460 It's so crazy.
00:06:34.560 They all take the women's side.
00:06:36.200 They paid to be there and want to post a selfie on their very own social media or a short clip to their TikTok, Instagram with her music in the background to say, yay, Miranda.
00:06:49.460 Concert so happy.
00:06:50.780 She has the nerve to call and shame them.
00:06:53.020 WTF.
00:06:55.020 They paid for her tickets and were not disrespecting or disruptive.
00:06:59.620 She thinks she's better than she is.
00:07:01.900 I think Karen Lambert was wrong.
00:07:03.840 This is how how people today commemorate milestones in their lives with selfies.
00:07:09.760 Just saying they bought the tickets.
00:07:12.440 I would have left.
00:07:13.060 I don't have time for self-righteous, entitled people.
00:07:16.220 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:07:18.380 It's just like, why do we guys, you know, at some point being front row at a concert and taking selfies with the flash on, not paying attention to the artist at all is disrespectful.
00:07:31.220 And we have a right to demand that women don't act like children at the concerts.
00:07:37.200 And my gut feeling is it wasn't one selfie.
00:07:41.660 It wasn't two selfies.
00:07:43.320 It was an hour full of selfies.
00:07:45.680 And she was sick of it.
00:07:47.980 Miranda Lambert has a right to escort drunk men out.
00:07:51.180 She also has a right to escort women out that are so addicted to their phones that they can't watch the concert.
00:07:57.300 If this happened to a man, I guarantee nobody would care.
00:08:02.400 But whenever it's a woman, it's, oh, the poor woman.
00:08:07.140 Even though genuinely all she did was stop the concert, tell them to put their phones away.
00:08:11.960 She didn't escort them out.
00:08:13.340 She didn't tell them to leave.
00:08:14.740 She just said it's disrespectful.
00:08:16.960 And my question is, let's not talk about how it makes us feel.
00:08:20.500 Was she right or was she wrong?
00:08:22.120 Is it disrespectful to be on your phone an entire concert?
00:08:26.180 Yes or no?
00:08:27.300 But so often in society, we focus on how the question makes us feel rather than the question.
00:08:34.040 And it doesn't make you a bad person to, like, check someone's behavior, even if they're fans paying for a ticket.
00:08:41.840 We go through life never having our behavior checked.
00:08:45.080 And honestly, as women, sometimes we need it.
00:08:47.660 Well, look at that apart.
00:09:06.960 We are talking, we are talking about how the question makes us feel.
