- 0:49Speaker 3: She gets very upset when I'm not on the show.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Well, you, Doris, we are back together. I missed you.
- 0:55Speaker 2: I missed you all. Back in the USA, we have
- 0:57Speaker 2: a ton of gossip to get to. What time is it,
- 1:00Speaker 2: my friends? It is tea time. This story is so interesting.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Mark and I were just chatting before the show. Going
- 1:06Speaker 2: back to Britain and seeing my friends and my family,
- 1:08Speaker 2: it's wonderful. But I also have something that many American
- 1:12Speaker 2: royal reporters don't have. I went to school in Britain.
- 1:17Speaker 2: I lived 20 years of my early life in Britain.
- 1:20Speaker 2: People that I went to university with, I went to
- 1:23Speaker 2: a fancy university. I don't know how I got in,
- 1:25Speaker 2: but I was like the Oliver Twist of this university, Mark.
- 1:27Speaker 2: They were all, we called them toffs, toffee nose. It
- 1:30Speaker 2: means they're quite posh. I was not posh spice. I
- 1:33Speaker 2: was definitely scary working class. spies but being around those
- 1:38Speaker 2: people when I was there for four years I got
- 1:39Speaker 2: a masters mark not just a bit of masters imagine
- 1:42Speaker 2: me I've got a masters in political science so I
- 1:46Speaker 2: know it's unbelievable I can barely believe it myself my
- 1:48Speaker 2: mum is horrified at what I'm doing for a living
- 1:50Speaker 2: after all that education no she secretly loves all this
- 1:53Speaker 2: but I met some really great people and I stay
- 1:56Speaker 2: in touch with people you can confirm this Mark if
- 1:58Speaker 2: I like you even if I don't like you but
- 2:00Speaker 2: you can help me I probably will stay in touch
- 2:03Speaker 2: so going back to Britain and Seeing all those friends,
- 2:05Speaker 2: all those sources, all those people I went to school
- 2:07Speaker 2: with really, really helped, which is why our royal reporting,
- 2:11Speaker 2: I've got to say it, it's better than anybody else's.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Let me actually get to the story instead of talking
- 2:15Speaker 2: about me, me, me, me, me. So Harry and Meghan's
- 2:18Speaker 2: marriage troubles have eased since they returned to the UK.
- 2:22Speaker 2: He's much happier. So we know there was problems in California.
- 2:26Speaker 2: It was difficult. He was having such a hard time adjusting.
- 2:29Speaker 2: You can't be in a happy marriage with an unhappy person.
- 2:32Speaker 2: People ask me all the time. I've been with Bruce forever.
- 2:35Speaker 2: He's sort of really my first boyfriend and we're still together.
- 2:38Speaker 2: What's the secret of a happy marriage? I answer it
- 2:41Speaker 2: so quickly, Mark. Marry someone who's happy. If you want
- 2:44Speaker 2: a happy marriage, don't marry a misery. Marry somebody who
- 2:47Speaker 2: is happy. Harry was not happy. He has returned to
- 2:50Speaker 2: the UK. He's much happier. You can see it in
- 2:52Speaker 2: his mood. You can see it in the way he walks.
- 2:54Speaker 2: He's got that old smile back on his face. And
- 2:57Speaker 2: so their marriage, which was in trouble, let's be clear
- 3:00Speaker 2: about that. There was issues there. Marriage is not easy.
- 3:03Speaker 2: I'm not dissing them here. It's tricky. But to be
- 3:06Speaker 2: married to somebody who's miserable, that ain't going to work.
- 3:09Speaker 2: And so much happier in the UK, which means their
- 3:11Speaker 2: marriage is much better. Do they still have issues? Yes.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Do they still have disagreements? Absolutely yes. Harry is not
- 3:17Speaker 2: an easy person. Can you imagine marrying somebody who expects
- 3:21Speaker 2: everybody to bow when they enter the room from the
- 3:24Speaker 2: earliest age mark? People have bowed to this little boy.
- 3:27Speaker 2: So there's a lot of entitlement there. Maybe not his fault,
- 3:30Speaker 2: but a lot going on with Harry. He certainly had
- 3:32Speaker 2: mental health struggles, too, which he's talked about. They are
- 3:35Speaker 2: much happier. I think this is a sweet story. What
- 3:37Speaker 2: do you think?
- 3:38Speaker 3: It is sweet. And, you know, listen, I'm reading Harry's
- 3:40Speaker 3: audio book from The Spare, the memoir. And it reminds
- 3:44Speaker 3: me of how important the press is in his life
- 3:47Speaker 3: and headlines and people talking about him. And when he
- 3:50Speaker 3: was in L.A., no one, it wasn't the same kind
- 3:52Speaker 3: of respect. He just was another person here. You don't
- 3:54Speaker 3: have that same kind of feeling about the royals. We care,
- 3:56Speaker 3: but we're not as invested as you are in London.
- 3:59Speaker 3: So I can imagine his life, you know, he's going
- 4:01Speaker 3: back to his roots where he was, you know, and
- 4:04Speaker 3: how he feels about himself and the perception. And also
- 4:07Speaker 3: I would imagine, you know, there's a lot of pressure
- 4:09Speaker 3: when people are talking about your marriage and making, you know,
- 4:11Speaker 3: constantly criticizing it. It's not going to be great for
- 4:14Speaker 3: you as a couple. So it makes sense they're in
- 4:17Speaker 3: a better place now.
- 4:18Speaker 2: It makes sense. The one thing that gives me pause,
- 4:20Speaker 2: that gives me a little bit of concern, is I'm
- 4:22Speaker 2: told that now they feel it's us versus the world.
- 4:26Speaker 2: They have something in common, which they didn't have in California,
- 4:28Speaker 2: but sort of stopped bothering about them, really. The amount
- 4:32Speaker 2: of attention, a lot of it not good, that is
- 4:34Speaker 2: focused on this couple has really brought them closer together.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I've seen this happen with friends of mine who are
- 4:40Speaker 2: in relationships and their whole relationship is based on who
- 4:44Speaker 2: they mutually dislike. If you have a common enemy, that
- 4:50Speaker 2: can keep you going a long time. You've bonded with
- 4:53Speaker 2: people over other folks that you don't like. And so
- 4:59Speaker 2: at the moment, Harry and Meghan are really thriving. They
- 5:02Speaker 2: love the chaos. That isn't mean. They love the circus.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Let's just say it. They are who they are. You
- 5:07Speaker 2: might love them, but even my friends that love this
- 5:09Speaker 2: couple will admit that They love the media attention. Well,
- 5:12Speaker 2: now they are getting it. They are on the cover
- 5:14Speaker 2: of the newspapers, of the headlines in the UK every
- 5:18Speaker 2: single day. And that is a place where they are very,
- 5:20Speaker 2: very comfortable. Meghan has always liked the spotlight. Harry has
- 5:24Speaker 2: never known life without the spotlight. And now they are
- 5:27Speaker 2: back as one of the most talked about couples in
- 5:30Speaker 2: the world. And this has made them happier. And thus...
- 5:33Speaker 2: Their marriage is happier too. The problem is, oh, I
- 5:36Speaker 2: don't want to rain on the parade here. That doesn't
- 5:38Speaker 2: last forever. Even the biggest stars in the world, even
- 5:41Speaker 2: the biggest story in the world, it does diminish over time.
- 5:46Speaker 2: We do move on to something new. And so happy
- 5:49Speaker 2: for the moment, but maybe not for the right reasons,
- 5:52Speaker 2: which brings us to our poll question of the day.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Harry and Meghan's marriage troubles have eased since their return
- 6:00Speaker 2: to the UK. Will it last? Are these two okay? Hey,
- 6:03Speaker 2: go vote on our X page, our Twitter page at
- 6:06Speaker 2: Naughty Nice Rob, our Facebook page is Naughty Gossip, and
- 6:11Speaker 2: be sure to check back tomorrow to hear your results. Hey, Loopy,
- 6:16Speaker 2: what are you working on?
- 6:17Speaker 3: All right, so we're taking a left turn here, Rob.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Hayden Penance here's parents. They're fighting over her earrings after
- 6:23Speaker 3: her death. Let me explain. Okay, so Hayden Penance here's
- 6:26Speaker 3: parents are fighting over the jewelry their daughter was wearing
- 6:29Speaker 3: when she died at just 36 years old. According to
- 6:31Speaker 3: the Greenville County Coroner's Report, stud earrings were removed from
- 6:35Speaker 3: Hayden's body during her autopsy and placed in safekeeping. One
- 6:39Speaker 3: of her parents requested the earrings to be mailed to
- 6:41Speaker 3: North Carolina, while the other wanted them sent to California.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Authorities say they refused to release the jewelry until her
- 6:48Speaker 3: parents could reach an agreement. This detail is heartbreaking, and
- 6:53Speaker 3: it revealed that she was in rehab just weeks before
- 6:55Speaker 3: her death. Her father said she had struggled with addiction
- 6:58Speaker 3: since her early 20s, and recently spent two to three
- 7:01Speaker 3: weeks in a Malibu treatment facility.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Heartbreaking. So sad. Yeah, she didn't stand a chance with
- 7:07Speaker 2: these parents. We've heard stories about them. Leslie, her mother,
- 7:11Speaker 2: was her manager, and so we knew her pretty, pretty well.
- 7:14Speaker 2: A source told me last night, and I'm doing this
- 7:17Speaker 2: story today on my Substack. If you follow me on Substack,
- 7:20Speaker 2: you'll get this email to you today. A source told
- 7:22Speaker 2: me her mom is already talking about writing a book,
- 7:26Speaker 2: pitching a book.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Wow.
- 7:27Speaker 2: She has the right to tell her story, her daughter's story,
- 7:30Speaker 2: but the timing, can we give her just a little
- 7:33Speaker 2: bit of grace, a moment? And this earring story is
- 7:37Speaker 2: so impactful because it tells you everything. That Hayden in
- 7:40Speaker 2: her life complained to friends that she felt as if
- 7:42Speaker 2: she was the cash cow, as if she was the
- 7:45Speaker 2: ATM machine for everybody around her, including that loser boyfriend,
- 7:49Speaker 2: let's be honest there. So in her life, she felt
- 7:52Speaker 2: like an ATM. And in her death, she continues to
- 7:54Speaker 2: be an ATM for all these hangers-on. It's earrings. They
- 7:59Speaker 2: weren't from Chopard. They weren't from Tiffany. They were earrings.
- 8:03Speaker 3: What?
- 8:03Speaker 2: They were worth $ 1, 000 to you. What is going on
- 8:06Speaker 2: in this family? It is such an insight into what
- 8:09Speaker 2: Hayden was born into. This wasn't something that just happened
- 8:13Speaker 2: to her once. Every day of her life, her mom
- 8:16Speaker 2: was there until she got to an age where she
- 8:19Speaker 2: could move out. And it impacts you so deeply, so,
- 8:23Speaker 2: so profoundly. I was just back in the UK with
- 8:25Speaker 2: my mom. And I have a great mom. And that's
- 8:28Speaker 2: why I'm a great guy. But you know, it does look,
- 8:31Speaker 2: I'm a happy guy. Maybe I'm not a great guy,
- 8:33Speaker 2: but I'm a happy guy because I had a happy childhood.
- 8:35Speaker 2: I was really, really lucky. You, Mark, have a lovely family.
- 8:38Speaker 2: You're really close to your family. We're not all that lucky.
- 8:40Speaker 2: We don't all get great parents. You did, Mark. I did.
- 8:43Speaker 2: I'm really lucky. Hayden didn't. But when you don't get
- 8:46Speaker 2: great parents, oh my goodness, is the deck stacked against you.
- 8:51Speaker 2: It is always an uphill battle. She tried her hardest. Ultimately,
- 8:56Speaker 2: let's hope she is resting in peace. Okay, let's move along.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran has lost nearly 500,000 Instagram followers after the
- 9:05Speaker 2: Macklemore backlash exploded. So Ed's nightmare is getting worse. The
- 9:11Speaker 2: superstar has lost nearly half a million Instagram followers. since
- 9:15Speaker 2: Macklemore announced that he would no longer be part of
- 9:19Speaker 2: the Ed Sheeran tour over his controversial remarks, his pro-Palestinian remarks.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Sheeran has already said, he's spoken about this, and he's
- 9:29Speaker 2: tried to make it better. He is a non-political person.
- 9:33Speaker 2: He just isn't that guy. He doesn't want to be
- 9:35Speaker 2: that guy. And he's sort of been forced into this.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Some would argue he forced himself into it by hiring Macklemore.
- 9:41Speaker 2: If you don't want to have politics on your stage,
- 9:44Speaker 2: on your show, don't hire Macklemore. It's not as if
- 9:48Speaker 2: we didn't know his views. We're not as if we
- 9:50Speaker 2: knew he was shy. I said on this show, Mark,
- 9:53Speaker 2: we don't do politics on this show. But if I
- 9:55Speaker 2: got Sarah Palin as a co-host for Tucker Carlson, I
- 9:58Speaker 2: know what I'm getting into. I know where they're going
- 10:01Speaker 2: to go. So I just don't get why this even
- 10:05Speaker 2: happened in the first place. Let's be honest about here.
- 10:07Speaker 2: Don't feel too. badly for ed he still has millions
- 10:12Speaker 2: and millions of followers he can still sell stadiums i
- 10:16Speaker 2: think 60 000 people turned it might not have been
- 10:18Speaker 2: 80 000 there were some empty seats but 60,000, that's
- 10:22Speaker 2: three times the size of Madison Square Garden. He's going
- 10:25Speaker 2: to be just fine through this. But I think you
- 10:27Speaker 2: do have a right to be silent, to have political views.
- 10:32Speaker 2: It's your decision. You're quite private about your life, Mark,
- 10:36Speaker 2: your political views. And I think it served you very well.
- 10:39Speaker 3: Well, I think you have to be, you know, listen,
- 10:40Speaker 3: you have the freedom to speak your mind, but there's
- 10:43Speaker 3: also consequences to anything that you say. And so, you know,
- 10:46Speaker 3: anything you put online is online forever. And if you have,
- 10:49Speaker 3: you know, depending on your employer, what kind of agreement
- 10:51Speaker 3: you sign with your employer, you have to be really
- 10:53Speaker 3: careful about the things that you say online and the
- 10:56Speaker 3: views that you've expressed. And for Ed Sheeran, you know,
- 10:58Speaker 3: I see him as like a golden retriever. He's always
- 11:00Speaker 3: been like a friendly, you know, redhead little dog in
- 11:03Speaker 3: the corner. And I think it's unfair for someone to
- 11:07Speaker 3: be put in a place where This is not a
- 11:09Speaker 3: political event. If I'm going to see Ed Sheeran, I
- 11:11Speaker 3: want to have fun. I want to just escape. We're
- 11:13Speaker 3: living in hard times. I don't want to be reminded
- 11:15Speaker 3: of that. And so I think he's been put in
- 11:17Speaker 3: a tough spot. And I just hope it blows over,
- 11:20Speaker 3: you know, regardless of your views. He's just a pleasant person.
- 11:23Speaker 2: He's just trying to have fun. He's a nice guy.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I've met him a few times. He's a nice guy.
- 11:27Speaker 2: And he didn't want to be in this position where
- 11:29Speaker 2: he does have some responsibility, though, is this was his stage.
- 11:32Speaker 2: This was his show. When you hire somebody to share
- 11:36Speaker 2: your platform, then you are responsible for that. Before we
- 11:40Speaker 2: get a break, Harvey Weinstein has had a new sentence
- 11:44Speaker 2: put down, 15 years in jail. What's going on?
- 11:47Speaker 3: Disgusting, yeah. He's been sentenced to 15 years in prison
- 11:50Speaker 3: following his conviction for sexually assaulting a former Project Runway
- 11:54Speaker 3: production assistant. The disgraced movie mogul appeared in Manhattan court
- 11:59Speaker 3: in a wheelchair, and asked for mercy while maintaining his innocence.
- 12:03Speaker 3: He said, I am not a perfect person. And he
- 12:06Speaker 3: told the court, adding he had remorse for the victim.
- 12:10Speaker 3: The victim delivered a powerful impact statement saying Weinstein abused
- 12:15Speaker 3: her and his position of power.
- 12:18Speaker 2: He's gross. We knew it, didn't we? We didn't know
- 12:21Speaker 2: the details, but everybody knew what a horrible person he was.
- 12:24Speaker 2: I met him a couple of times. I even had
- 12:26Speaker 2: dinner with him once. He's a really gross bully. And
- 12:29Speaker 2: I would argue you have had mercy. You have had
- 12:31Speaker 2: an extraordinary life for a really long time, getting away
- 12:35Speaker 2: with stuff that the rest of us would have gone
- 12:37Speaker 2: to jail for a long time ago. So don't give
- 12:40Speaker 2: me this mercy. You have had advantages through money and
- 12:45Speaker 2: power that the rest of us haven't had. And that's
- 12:47Speaker 2: why it took so long to get him. And now
- 12:50Speaker 2: I'm really grateful that they did. 15 years at his age,
- 12:54Speaker 2: that's a life sentence. Harvey Weinstein, we won't, hopefully. be
- 12:58Speaker 2: talking about or seeing ever again. Okay, we do have
- 13:01Speaker 2: time for one quick story before we get a break.
- 13:03Speaker 2: It's a big one. Dolly Parton's staff fled the office
- 13:06Speaker 2: over fears of her nephew. So this is getting really ugly.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Her nephew, Brian, he's the guy that put out the statement.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Dolly wanted him to announce her death. It was a
- 13:16Speaker 2: really slick produced video. And I really bought into it.
- 13:19Speaker 2: I was like, wow, this Brian who's been the head
- 13:21Speaker 2: of a security, what a caring, lovely guy. He said
- 13:23Speaker 2: the most beautiful things. Now it turns out he might
- 13:26Speaker 2: not be quite as nice as we thought. Staff have
- 13:28Speaker 2: complained about him. I'm working on a big story today
- 13:31Speaker 2: for my sub stack that Dolly knew he was trouble.
- 13:34Speaker 2: Everybody knew he was trouble, but Dolly liked him. This
- 13:37Speaker 2: is her nephew. And so Dolly is partially responsible here.
- 13:43Speaker 2: When you turn a blind eye to bad behavior... That
- 13:46Speaker 2: behavior gets rewarded. And what I'm told is going on
- 13:49Speaker 2: now is that a few months before Dolly's death, he
- 13:52Speaker 2: got empowered. He thought he was the rightful heir. He's
- 13:55Speaker 2: a very good security guy, but he's not a business manager.
- 13:58Speaker 2: He does not know how to run a multi-million dollar estate.
- 14:02Speaker 2: Dolly set that up with professionals. Professionals are handling the
- 14:05Speaker 2: estate like they are in the Michael Jackson estate. Paris
- 14:09Speaker 2: Jackson sued those because she wanted control. Had Paris taken
- 14:13Speaker 2: over the Michael estate, it would have no money because
- 14:15Speaker 2: she's not capable of doing that. I'm not putting her down.
- 14:18Speaker 2: She has no experience. You want really good people running
- 14:21Speaker 2: the estate. And if you have good people running the estate,
- 14:24Speaker 2: the money keeps flowing to the family. And so this
- 14:27Speaker 2: is going to be an ongoing war now. But Dolly,
- 14:31Speaker 2: this would break her heart. I've met Dolly a few times.
- 14:34Speaker 2: She loved her family. I get it, too. I've got
- 14:37Speaker 2: some stinkers in my family. And if I was Dolly Parton,
- 14:39Speaker 2: I'd hire them all. They'd all be on my payroll.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Every single one of them would be on my payroll.
- 14:44Speaker 2: And so it makes me sad, Mark, but I also
- 14:47Speaker 2: too can see where she's coming from. What do you think?
- 14:50Speaker 3: It is sad. And I think I said this on
- 14:51Speaker 3: the podcast before that, you know, when I've met Dolly
- 14:54Speaker 3: and worked with her, her whole family is employed. They
- 14:56Speaker 3: all come with her. They all travel with her, security
- 14:59Speaker 3: and everything. And, you know, it is a family operation.
- 15:01Speaker 3: And that's not uncommon for musicians to do this. And
- 15:04Speaker 3: sometimes people are not qualified to do the jobs they've
- 15:06Speaker 3: been given. And that's where mistakes happen and things get weird.
- 15:09Speaker 3: And it's really unfortunate that since her passing, this has happened.
- 15:12Speaker 2: I think. It's really unfortunate. I worked for Jessica Simpson.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Her dad was her manager. Talk about being unqualified. Nice
- 15:19Speaker 2: enough guy, a little bit creepy, but I mean, come on. Okay,
- 15:23Speaker 2: we're going to take a quick break and we will
- 15:25Speaker 2: be right back. Welcome back to the Naughty But Nice Show.
- 15:30Speaker 2: I'm your host, Rob Schroeter, with our dear friend, Mark Lupo. Hey, Lupe.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Let's get to the polls. Thank you very much. George
- 15:38Speaker 2: Clooney has rallied around a devastated Cindy Crawford and Randy
- 15:42Speaker 2: Gerber following the death of their son. Do you have
- 15:45Speaker 2: a best friend that shows up for you? This is
- 15:47Speaker 2: such a really touching story. I broke this story that
- 15:50Speaker 2: George dropped everything, jumped on a plane, got to California,
- 15:54Speaker 2: wanted to be with his friends. He can't help. He
- 15:56Speaker 2: can't change anything. He can't fix anything. What he can
- 15:59Speaker 2: do is show up. Do you have somebody in your life?
- 16:03Speaker 2: that when things go wrong, everybody wants to be my
- 16:05Speaker 2: friend when things are going well. When I have a
- 16:07Speaker 2: hit book, when I'm on a hit podcast, when my
- 16:10Speaker 2: column's getting read by millions of people, everybody suddenly loves me.
- 16:13Speaker 2: But I've had some down moments too, a lot of them.
- 16:15Speaker 2: And it's very interesting to see who will show up.
- 16:18Speaker 2: I'm lucky. I do. I have a few people who
- 16:20Speaker 2: will show up for me.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Do you?
- 16:22Speaker 2: 80% said yes. Oh, that makes me so, so happy. Hey,

- 16:43Speaker 3: Ow. So sweet. George Clooney's heartbreaking advice to Presley Kerber
- 16:49Speaker 3: before his tragic death has been revealed, Rob. George Clooney
- 16:52Speaker 3: spent years trying to guide Presley Kerber before his tragic
- 16:55Speaker 3: death at just 27. Presley and his sister Kaya affectionately
- 16:59Speaker 3: referred to their father, Randy Gerber's best friend, as Uncle George,
- 17:03Speaker 3: with sources claiming Looney would spend hours talking to Presley.
- 17:07Speaker 3: Even after his 2018 DUI, Looney reportedly warned him to
- 17:10Speaker 3: be careful and more recently told him to stay clean
- 17:15Speaker 3: and that I'm here for you.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Be there. Be there. Be there. This is not the
- 17:19Speaker 2: ending anybody wanted, but the action is still so, so...
- 17:23Speaker 2: So admirable. Something that we should all admire. And nice
- 17:26Speaker 2: is the day. Naughty, naughty, naughty. Prince Harry is in
- 17:29Speaker 2: the US doing a speech about technology. What happened? He
- 17:33Speaker 2: had technical issues. He was on stage talking about the
- 17:36Speaker 2: dangers of artificial intelligence here in New York. And a
- 17:40Speaker 2: few minutes, about six, seven minutes into the speech at
- 17:42Speaker 2: the Clinton Global Initiative, he had technical problems and had
- 17:45Speaker 2: to walk off stage. Now, 45 minutes later, he did
- 17:48Speaker 2: return with the joke, hello again. But the irony is
- 17:52Speaker 2: not lost on me to have a speech about technology.
- 17:56Speaker 2: And then the technology to fail did make me chuckle.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Let's end with a moment of rub. You get a rub,
- 18:02Speaker 2: you get a rub, you get a rub. So many
- 18:04Speaker 2: people did not want me to do this segment. When
- 18:06Speaker 2: we started this show, everybody advised me that they wanted
- 18:11Speaker 2: celebrity gossip from me, from Mark, from Delaina, from all
- 18:14Speaker 2: the co-hosts. And I insisted. I said, I want to
- 18:17Speaker 2: end the show on a really positive note. And if
- 18:19Speaker 2: the truth be told, I stole it from Jerry Springer.
- 18:23Speaker 2: Jerry Springer had 59 minutes of outrageousness, and then he
- 18:27Speaker 2: looked in the camera and told everyone to be nice
- 18:29Speaker 2: to one another. And I really liked that. Of our show,
- 18:33Speaker 2: I get more emails, comments, texts about this segment than
- 18:38Speaker 2: anything else today's Moment of Rub. Shame dies when stories
- 18:44Speaker 2: are told in a safe place. So shame only survives
- 18:48Speaker 2: in silence. It grows when we believe the worst thing
- 18:52Speaker 2: that happened to us or the worst thing we did
- 18:56Speaker 2: must remain hidden. But shame, it loses its power the
- 19:01Speaker 2: moment the story is told somewhere safe. Not everywhere deserves
- 19:06Speaker 2: your trust. Let's be clear here. Don't be telling your
- 19:08Speaker 2: secrets to everybody. Not everybody has earned it. Find a person,
- 19:13Speaker 2: find a place who will hear your story without judgment.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Speak in the truth. It doesn't erase the past, but
- 19:21Speaker 2: it will change your relationship with it. I've had secrets
- 19:25Speaker 2: over the years that I've been lucky enough to be
- 19:28Speaker 2: on this earth. One was my broken arm, which I
- 19:30Speaker 2: tried to hide for years. The other is that I'm
- 19:32Speaker 2: gay and I certainly was in the closet growing up.
- 19:36Speaker 2: I figured out that when I started to talk about both,
- 19:39Speaker 2: they were no longer shameful secrets. They were just part
- 19:43Speaker 2: of my story. If you've got a secret today, we
- 19:46Speaker 2: all have one. If you've got a secret, find a
- 19:48Speaker 2: safe place. find a safe friend and share it and
- 19:53Speaker 2: i promise you that secret will not feel quite as
- 19:58Speaker 2: dangerous hey that is it for today thank you so
