  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. Since
• 0:05
  Prince Andrew has been basically voted off of the island
• 0:09
  by the rest of the Royal family, according to reports,
• 0:13
  he's been spending his time watching TV. So my question is,
• 0:18
  what is this guy watching while he's sitting around hanging
• 0:21
  out watching the boob Tube. My guess is something like
• 0:24
  Ninety Day Fiance or Love After Lock Up. Maybe he's
• 0:28
  going back to watch some of the old classics such
• 0:30
  as Flavor of Love or perhaps Rock of Love with
• 0:34
  Brett Michaels. My guess is he's not watching anything of substance,
• 0:40
  because when you don't have any substance, well kind of
• 0:43
  hard to sit down and really dig in. But Prince
• 0:49
  Andrew is somebody who really has no place as far
• 0:52
  as in the royal family anymore. So when this was
• 0:56
  all going down, I suggested that he become the Royal
• 1:00
  stable cleaner. Right, he's well versed in dealing with bs,
• 1:04
  but in this instance he'd be dealing with horse maneuver
• 1:07
  a little different but same family, so he'd be totally
• 1:11
  fine doing that job. He shovels so much bullshit on
• 1:13
  a regular basis, he should be very proficient, but instead
• 1:17
  he ended up being the king of the Corgis. So
• 1:20
  these poor dogs are stuck with him and Sarah Lickmitoes Ferguson,
• 1:25
  and according to these reports, they all spend their time
• 1:27
  hanging out watching some TV. So pretty interesting to find
• 1:32
  out that mister Jets that are supreme, Mister I gotta
• 1:35
  be all around the world and involved in everything. Mister
• 1:38
  I can't stop drifting is now reduced to sitting around
• 1:41
  at home like a couch potato. Guess what, Joe Exotic
• 1:46
  of the Windsor Family Karma is an mfort and that
• 1:50
  train left the station coming to your destination quite some
• 1:54
  time ago. Thankfully it has arrived. Today's article is from
• 1:59
  the a Lely Beast, hosted over at Yahoo News. Headline
• 2:04
  Recluse Prince Andrew spends his days watching TV, report says.
• 2:09
  This article was authored by Tom Sykes. Prince Andrew is
• 2:13
  a recluse who spends his days watching TV in his
• 2:16
  thirty room home and rarely goes out except to ride
• 2:19
  a horse or walk the dogs. A new profile of
• 2:23
  the fallen Prince reveals, now we always have to be
• 2:25
  careful that they're not trying to pump some are in
• 2:28
  his tires, not trying to make you think, oh, poor
• 2:30
  Prince Andrew, because remember, he made his bed, and he's
• 2:34
  lucky he's sitting in his home, his thirty room home,
• 2:37
  and not sitting somewhere else, to be honest with you,
• 2:40
  so he should be happy about that. Andrew, who was
• 2:45
  kicked out of the Royal family after his disastrous Newsnight
• 2:48
  interview in November twenty nineteen, has, however, indulged in intense
• 2:53
  self reflection, and, having spent three years in his own
• 2:56
  form of lockdown, is more thoughtful and more mindful than
• 3:00
  he has ever been. Friends say, yeah, mindful enough to
• 3:05
  speak to the FBI, mindful enough to talk to the
• 3:07
  authorities about what went down, Mindful enough to come forward
• 3:11
  and help put some of these other co conspirators on
• 3:14
  the track to arrest. Oh no, not that kind of
• 3:17
  self reflection right, Oh okay, Well, until then he is
• 3:21
  still the Joe Exotic of the Windsor family aka the
• 3:26
  Prince of Punkasses more thoughtful. The Daily Telegraphs Royal reporter
• 3:33
  Camilla Tomminy says that his daughter, Princess Beatrice, now thirty four,
• 3:37
  warrened Andrew that the interview was all a very bad idea,
• 3:41
  but unfortunately nobody listened to her. According to what is
• 3:44
  described as a well placed source, I could see that
• 3:47
  look his daughter having more of a gauge of, you know,
• 3:50
  the optics of that interview, having her finger on the
• 3:53
  pulse of how the public's going to react when her
• 3:56
  bozo ass dad gets up there and looks like a
• 3:59
  brain dead moron. Because that's what he looked like. He
• 4:02
  looked like an idiot, a straight up idiot. You would
• 4:04
  think somebody who had all that money, all that schooling
• 4:07
  would be able to get up there and be a
• 4:09
  bit charismatic, be able to you know, commandeer the interview
• 4:13
  if you will. That certainly wasn't the case. One friend says,
• 4:19
  Andrew has been painted as the archetypal pantomime villain. But
• 4:24
  he adds he acknowledges privately that newsnight was by no
• 4:27
  means his finest hour. What he's also come to realize
• 4:31
  are the pitfalls of living in an Edwardian court where
• 4:35
  there's very little pushback. It's all yes, sir, no, sir,
• 4:38
  three bags full, sir. Isn't that Royal courts in general. Now,
• 4:42
  all of a sudden, he's having some self reflection. If
• 4:46
  I was the queen or the king, my kids wouldn't
• 4:48
  be going to these royal schools and shit, they'd be
• 4:51
  going to some private school with regular kids, and that
• 4:54
  would be the end of it. Now, obviously you have
• 4:56
  security concerns that other parents might not have, but there
• 5:00
  are other schools that your kids can go to, and
• 5:03
  I would be treating these kids royal or not, like
• 5:05
  just a kid. Meaning U f up, yup, that's right,
• 5:10
  we're about to talk. I remember one time when I
• 5:13
  was young. Now, my parents weren't the tight to hit me.
• 5:16
  They never really put their hands on me, no matter
• 5:18
  how much of a jerk off I was. But in
• 5:20
  seventh grade one time I forgot what I did. I
• 5:22
  think I changed a grade on one of my report cards,
• 5:25
  like a progress report, and I changed it from DE
• 5:29
  too a B. And my pops found out. So the
• 5:32
  punishment was he took everything out of my bedroom, my
• 5:35
  video game systems, radio, all of it. He went to
• 5:39
  the storage unit. He grabbed a box of books and
• 5:42
  dropped them in my room. Told me I was grounded
• 5:44
  for a month and all I could do was read books. Well,
• 5:47
  let me tell you what you want to talk about
• 5:49
  self reflection in seventh grade when you look out your
• 5:51
  window and all your friends are playing and everybody's out
• 5:54
  there having a good time and I'm stuck inside reading books. Yeah,
• 5:58
  that was some self reflect Now, Prince Andrew probably needed
• 6:02
  a couple of bouts of that growing up, and he
• 6:06
  never got it right. So what do we say here?
• 6:08
  All the time, uncoachable kids become unmanageable adults, And it's
• 6:15
  just a fitting and true statement. The friend says that
• 6:21
  Andrew hopes to now play a back seat role in
• 6:23
  the monarchy, saying all he wants to do is make
• 6:26
  things as smooth as possible and start contrast a day's
• 6:29
  gone by. Acting as that supportive brother figure, absolutely in
• 6:34
  the background, but for the benefit of the monarchy as
• 6:36
  a whole, is a future template for how he feels
• 6:39
  he can make some sort of contribution rather than being
• 6:42
  a distraction. He wants to become a stabilizing influence and
• 6:47
  sounding board within the family on a very private basis. Look,
• 6:51
  whatever you do privately within your family, fine, you know whatever,
• 6:56
  If your family wants to accept you in that role
• 6:58
  and they want to keep you locked in the basement
• 7:00
  and nobody has to see you in public, That's fine.
• 7:04
  I don't want to see this man in public. I
• 7:06
  don't want to see him trotted up there as a
• 7:08
  representative of the fantastic, incredible British people. Okay, this dude
• 7:14
  needs to be met with scorn and he needs to
• 7:17
  be looked at sideways anytime he's in public until he
• 7:20
  comes forward and does the right thing. At that point
• 7:23
  maybe we can reevaluate the conversation. But until this man
• 7:27
  has taken a responsibility for what he has done, then
• 7:31
  to hell with him, just like every last other person
• 7:33
  who's been involved in this. Before all this happened, there
• 7:40
  was a pretty widespread view that he was a difficult
• 7:42
  man to love. One of the main criticisms was that
• 7:45
  he ignored advice. But since Newsnight, he's listened to the
• 7:48
  people who have been telling him to keep his head
• 7:51
  down and that's what he's done. Well, he should have
• 7:53
  been listening to that for a long time. Instead, he
• 7:56
  wanted to be out here in the public. He wanted
• 7:58
  to be Joe Cool and he wanted to be part
• 8:01
  of it. He wanted to go run around in red
• 8:03
  light districts, wanted to hang out with arms dealers, wanted
• 8:06
  to take a stroll through Central Park with a convicted
• 8:09
  sex offender. You know, these are all things that are
• 8:12
  not huge pitfalls. They can be avoided. Nobody's set a
• 8:15
  trap for you. You walked into it willingly. Intriguingly, Tomminy
• 8:23
  writes that a proposal has been put to the Duke
• 8:25
  that would see him live out the rest of his
• 8:27
  years doing something that would give him personal fulfillment as
• 8:31
  well as being impactful and resonant, but does not say
• 8:34
  what it is. That's interesting. I'd like to see what
• 8:37
  that is. Tomminy also suggests that Andrew, who paid a
• 8:41
  multimillion dollar settlement to Virginia Roberts, the woman who accused
• 8:45
  him of sexually abusing her, may have been left a
• 8:48
  significant sum of money by his mother inner will. My
• 8:51
  guess is that's correct. We've heard this from several sources
• 8:54
  that Prince Andrew was broke off a nice little chunk
• 8:57
  of something something here, So maybe that will motivate him
• 9:01
  to sit in the background, play Twiddlesticks and watch Rock
• 9:05
  of Love. Tomminy pays Andrew as living a constrained life,
• 9:11
  saying that he has effectively been grounded, and quotes one
• 9:14
  source is saying he has been in his own form
• 9:17
  of lockdown for the past three years. The report says
• 9:21
  he is a virtual recluse, with a source saying these
• 9:24
  days he barely goes out at all. He rarely goes
• 9:27
  out socially in the evening. Where would he go. The
• 9:29
  only time he used to go out were to visit
• 9:32
  the Queen at the castle, and now he can't even
• 9:34
  do that. Oh, poor Andrew, you can't go out, poor guy.
• 9:38
  How many people in England right now are terrified that
• 9:41
  winter is coming and they're not going to be able
• 9:43
  to pay their bills. I just read an article about
• 9:46
  the UK and how people are starting to stock up
• 9:49
  on shit like spam and fishheads. I mean really As
• 9:56
  to how Andrew continues to pay for his still expensive existence,
• 9:59
  including a chef and the staff, a source says the
• 10:02
  Queen remained convinced of Andrew's innocence to the very end,
• 10:06
  so she would have looked after him. Keeping them financially
• 10:09
  secure actually protects the institution. It means they don't need
• 10:12
  to go looking for funding elsewhere, which has landed them
• 10:15
  in trouble in the past. A source dismisses rumors Andrew
• 10:19
  and Sarah will remarry, saying Sarah would not be dragged
• 10:22
  into the politics of the royal household, and another source
• 10:26
  added they have separate bedrooms. Nothing is changed on that score,
• 10:30
  but as the Duchess always puts it, they remain the
• 10:33
  happiest divorced couple in the world. All weird to me,
• 10:37
  but that's one thing I won't judge. Right people's personal
• 10:40
  living conditions and stuff like that. Hey whatever, it's not
• 10:44
  me to judge. It's not for me to judge how
• 10:46
  you want to live your life with your ex With
• 10:47
  five exes, I don't really care. My problem is with
• 10:51
  Prince Andrew not being an honorable man, not living up
• 10:54
  to his obligations, and being an absolute dunce or, as
• 10:58
  they say across the pond, a nonce. So there you
• 11:02
  have it, folks, Prince Andrew spending his days watching TV,
• 11:05
  walking dogs and being pretty much a non factor exactly
• 11:10
  what he deserves. If you'd like to contact me, you
