  Speaker 1: time now. He says, he has revealed that he has

  Speaker 1: a line disease. Now, Justin Timberlake has been on tour.

  Speaker 1: went under the post and he responded in the comments
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of his post as well. Justin Timberlake says, well, as
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: these two incredible years come to an end and I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: look forward to the future, I wanted to write something
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: from the heart. It's not an easy task to try
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and contextualize the world win of touring, but I will try.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: This has been the most fun, emotional, gratifying, physically demanding,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and at times gruelling experience. I've been doing this for
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: thirty plus years, which feels crazy to say, and have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: given all that I have to this. I could not
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: have done it without my family, my friends, the tea
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and kids, and all of your support. As many of
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a pretty private person, but as I'm
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: reflecting on the tour and festival tour, I want to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: tell you a little bit about what's been going on
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: with me. Among other things, I've been battling some health
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: issues and was diagnosed with Limee's disease, which I don't
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: say so that you feel bad for me, but to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: shed some light on what I've been up against behind
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the scenes.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has, then.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: You're aware that living with this can be relentlessly debilitating,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: both mentally and physically. When I first got the disease,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I was shocked, for sure, but at least I could
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: understand why I would be on stage and in a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: massive amount of nerve, pain, or just feeling crazy fatigue
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Do
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I stop touring or keep going and figure it out.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I decided that the joy that performing brings me far
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: out weighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: so glad I kept going. Not only did I prove
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: my mental tenacity to myself, but I now have so
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: many special moments with all of you that I will
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: never forget. I was reluctant to talk about this because
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I was always raised to keep something like this to yourself.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But I'm trying to be more transparent about my struggle
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: so that they aren't misinterpreted.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: And make sure you guys remember that line.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be more transparent about my struggles so
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that they are not misinterpreted. Sharing all of this with
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the hope that we can all find a way to
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: be more connected. I like to do my part to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: help others experiencing this disease too. And he says he's
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: going to continue in a comment, so in the comedy, says,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to every one of you came to see me on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the Forget Tomorrow tour or JT Live twenty five or
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: any other tour show throughout the years for that matter.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Your energy and love continue to humble me.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Your signs, messages and do yourself t shirts has made
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: me laugh and smile so many times, and hearing and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: watching you all sing these songs word for word at
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the top of your lungs will forever leave me in alle.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: You have made my dreams come true.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: To my crew being singers, dancers, tour life really is
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: like nothing else. It takes a special type of person
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to be able to do it, much less do it well.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: You all have been such a beautiful family away from
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: home For me, I will always so. He's talking to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: his team At this point. He says, if you've made
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it this far in the caption, which is crazy because
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't begin to skip some sentences. If you've made
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it this far in the caption, you deserve a medal.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: My heart is filled with gratitude. Love each other, be
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: good to each other. Don't take it for granted to
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: just Silace and Finn. Nothing is more powerful than your
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: unconditional love. You're my heart and my home. I'm on
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: my way. Those are his babies with love.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: JT.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Now the reason why I pointed out to you guys,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and I said, don't forget this line. Justin Timberlake says,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: but I am trying to be more transparent about my
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: struggles so that they are not misinterpreted. Because when I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: saw the headline of this story, I instantly thought about
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: just the last couple of things that we've heard of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: when it comes to Justin Timberlake in this last year.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: He's been in the headlines this past year for some things,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know that it had been pretty public. He got
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the DUI arrested in Hampton's was a video going viral
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of him on social where he was having you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: some sort of like verbal back and forth with one
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of It looked like a stage hen or like, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: something like that. You couldn't really tell what they were
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: talking about. So it's kind of it's kind of unfair
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to make it a verbal back and forth because I
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: couldn't tell what they were talking about, but it was
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you could tell it was a pretty tense, intense conversation.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But the Dui and you know, just you never know
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: what people are going through. I think what a person
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: like Justin Timberlake, who has been doing it for so
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: long and he says, you know, he was raised to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: keep things like this private, but also to Justin Temperlake
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: comes from that era of celebrity where you don't take
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: people along your journey for real. For real, celebrity is celebrity,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Your real life is your real life. The two are
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: typically separate, and they're typically very private, and fans are fans.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: There's three there's three elements too. Celebrities that come from
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the era that a Justin Timberlake comes from. When you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: look at like a jay Z, A Beyonce, I mean, shoot,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and she's younger, but even like a Rihanna, as much
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: as we feel like we know Rihanna right out of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: all the people I just named, as much as we
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: feel like we know Rihanna because she's on social with us,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: she get busy in the comments. She might shoot a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: couple clapbacks at you in the tweets or you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: in the shave room comments. You don't know her step
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: by step, you don't know her day by day. She's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: not taking you along. Celebrities like a Cardi B, however,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: are completely different and have been allowed to be completely
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: different because of the social media heavy based and vlog
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and streamer culture that our world now is in, but
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Justin Timberlake is completely different.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So for him to.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Open up like this, I say all that to say,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: huge deal for him, but it really did make me
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: think about how how much of a breath of fresh
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: air it must be to be a celeb like Justin Timberlake,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: come from that era of number one, you don't let
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: nothing outside your house, but also too, as a celebrity,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you keep those worlds separate of here's my life, here's
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: what I'm really dealing with, and here is the brand
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and the you know, the fairytale of Justin Timberlake. To
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: be able to like shed all that in front of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: your fans and the people that are coming to see you,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the people that are already reading these headlines about you and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: all the things, it has to be a very like
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like a very relaxing, you know, let it all out.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I can now breathe moment.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Because his career has not been like that for majority
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: of his big, huge career, and I don't think that,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you know, he definitely couldn't directly point to the DUI
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, I've been going through some things, because
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he said medical issues with in other things as well.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I've been going through some things, so you know, show
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: me some empathy. No one will do that because as
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we know, you know, driving under the influences, it hurts people,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it kills people.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: So there's never an excuse for that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But I think, you know, when things happen in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: public eye, when these people who are names and our
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: celebrities and you know, have all these the following and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you know, they do have that curtain up that we
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just talked about. I'm learning that when a lot of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: times when these things happen, it's like what else is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: going on?
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: What else is there?
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: And not making an excuse, but just wanting to understand
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the person and not that you know what I mean,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and trying to separate the person from the celebrity of
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the person. Now, speaking of this, there has been a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: lie a conversation about Haulk Hogan since his passing, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest conversations I keep seeing happen every
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: time a headline hits with him is can you separate
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the man from the celebrity and from the actions?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Right because of the N word being used?
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Right, So, today a story broke it was the cause
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of death for Hulk Hogan. So a heart attack, according
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: to several reports, is what caused the death of pro
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: wrestling icon Hawk Hogan. Now authority said this week, this
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: is a week after his passing. He passed away in Florida,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that his cause of death was formally listed as an
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: acute mile cardial in farction. I may be saying that wrong,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: but it's a technical term for a heart attack. That
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: is according to the District six Medical Examiner, who is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the medical examiner who did autopsy for Hawk Hogan. Now,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: his manner of death was listed as natural. But I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: knew when the story broke, so, you know, getting away
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: from separating the man from all the troubles, I knew
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: when the story broke. There was video of emergency responders
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: responding to his home.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: You saw the video the stretcher.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Being taken out of his home to an ambulance, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: there was about ten medical professionals actively attempting to get
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: his heart back going. And you could just tell by
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the way that the emergency responders responded that this was
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: something that was like sudden, that it came out of nowhere,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and then they kind of talked about how fast things escalated.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Later on when police they released a statement and they
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: mentioned that they got a call for cardiac arrest at
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: nine to fifty one, which you know cardiak arress Instantly,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: you're gonna think cart attack. And then at eleven seventeen am,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Hawk Hogan was pronounced dead at a hospital. Now, the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: reason why I tied these two ande together not that
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I think Justin ter Malake is racist or Sadian word
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and I'll leave my comments about what I think about
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Hawkogan personally out of this.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave it up to you guys.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: The reason why I tied this end though, is because
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: there has been a lot of conversation around do you
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: think of and look at hawk Hogan as the man,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the wrestling icon, the legend, or do you look at
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: him as a person who had a trouble past, who
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: did not get along with you know, his kids all
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the time. There's stories out right now about his daughter Brooke,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and you know, her wanting to be taken off of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the will at one point, and she received, you know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: according to an exclusive report, she received nothing after his
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: passing from his will because she had actually chosen to
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: take herself off of his will because she wanted to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: say all the way out of the legal proceedings. This
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: is something that she had done back in twenty twenty
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: three just because of how much issues they had in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: their relationship, and a lot of it too was she
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: felt like the people around him were taking advantage of him.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: But you know, she will receive some small amount of
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: money from like an assurance thing that hawk Holkt had
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: taken out. But it's I mean and not that it's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: all about money. And she's actually said she said in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: this report. It was an exclusive that TMZ did. She
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: said in this report that it's never been about the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: money for her because this was her dad. But I
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: do think that there's something to being the kid of
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: somebody who's worked so hard for their children to be
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: able to be okay after they leave this earth. And
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: she will be fine, she has been fine, but I
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: think that there's something too that. And I brought her
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: into this because it's very clear that at some point
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: she couldn't separate her father from the issues that they
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: had amongst themselves, right, and she decided to separate herself
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of times. But right now, the conversation every
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: single time a headline breaks is do we separate the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: man from the trouble past, and not even the past,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: but like the just the trouble lifestyle, because some people
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: would argue, you know, even if these things happened whenever ago,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that you know, actions are actions, and things recently, even
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: if it's not you screaming the N word right about
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: who your child is dating, but other things, political things
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and just you know, stances that people take will remind
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: you that this is not a past issue.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: This is a current issue. But the man is going right,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: and that is my point.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: So I would love to hear from you guys, because
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: this has been a conversation I've been watching online a
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: bit with most people feeling like you can do two
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: things at one time. When it comes to Halcogan, you
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: can say that he was a wrestling legend. At the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: same time, you can remove the troubled history, the racist remarks.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: To be able to do so, and a lot of times,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like we talked about with Justin Timberlake, there's.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: No separate anything. When you're celebrity.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: It's like whatever people deem as your real life, your
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: real story, you're real narrative.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: That's what it is.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You don't ever get the chance to kind of like
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: step away from that mask and be able to be
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a regular person.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't happen.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, because once people get to know you, they
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: know you, and when you're as famous as a Hall
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Cogan was or a Justin Timberlake is, it's impossible for
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you to be able to step away from me in
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that right, no matter where you go, what you do.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: But my point is, I think it's pretty interesting how
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: people deal with celebrities and death versus when they're here
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in real time. So, for instance, Justin Timberlake has had
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of conversation around him this year, and that
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you know, a lot of things have happened, and when they.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Happen, it sticks to you.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: In hal Kogan, there's been a lot of things that
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: have been conversation around him for years, but now in
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: his passing, people are really trying their their best and
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: their hardest to memorialize him in a way that removes
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: him from the things that Hawk Hogan, the celebrity, became
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: known for. Are we able to do that? Honest answers?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Only take it outside to the street. You call the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: dreeps outside outside in the tweets. I wanna know how
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: y'all feel. This is the latest with Laura l Rosa.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I am Laura l Rosa. I've been all up in
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the white man's business today, y'all. I wanna hear from y'all.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: I will see you in my next episode. Another daily
• 12:29
