  Speaker 2: Well, Natalie from the streets to the suites. This reminds
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: me of what's going on with the Hollywood trendoid Kelly Clarkson.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And these guys and gals who own this little shop,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: mom and pop shop on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. She
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: is relentless in terms of her pounding them on her
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: social media pages. What gives?
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, if you haven't heard about Kelly Clarkson fighting
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: with a Brooklyn store over a singing bird, let me
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: fill you in since you've been gone.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to be rolling.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Do you know Since You've Been Gone, the songs?
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: No?
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Okay, that's one of her songs.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I got it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: Good, Chris.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Good contribution there.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to buy a $ 15, 000 automated bird from From a store
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, apparently Kelly Clarkson's been waiting too. Are people
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: seeing this story?
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I've heard about it and I like Kelly Clarkson, so
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I tend to trust her.
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised that she would take that tactic. And it
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: was a back and forth. No one was giving up.
• 1:16
  Speaker 6: So hopefully they'll resolve it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Probably going to go down a whole rabbit hole now
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: because I saw people talking about Kelly Clarkson for a little,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: but I was like, oh, I kind of didn't think
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: anything of it.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: It's been days and the sparring on social media has
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: not stopped. The singer alleges she walked into the store
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and one of the employees cried. offered or allegedly insinuated
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: she couldn't afford the piece of art and then offered
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: her a cheaper option.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It was a bird that was affixed to the wall
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that we've seen pictures of it now that stuff comes
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: out of its mouth.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: I guess. Its beak.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Its beak.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: After taking to social media, the store said the bird...
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to explain it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Your description is so good, I can almost see it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's like, I actually sat on a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: bench the other day in New York City and looked
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: over and it looked like one of the birds that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: landed across.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: It looks like a real bird.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Like, it looks like a bird, but it's just sitting
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on a wall. And so.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The store said the bird is literally built into the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: wall and they wouldn't be able to sell it. But
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson's like, no, because of you, I can't have
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: this singing bird. And what do people think about how
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: social media comes into this?
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: I'm just surprised that she didn't go directly to the
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: owner and say, look, this is what happened. And instead
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: of going on social media, it doesn't seem like that's
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: something Kelly would do.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I think it's interesting just the, like, fighting over social media. Like,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: for me, I'm just like, that's, I feel like, something
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: we shouldn't do. Like, is that serious? Let's take it
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: out in person. You know, because I feel like it
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: just makes everyone look bad in the end, fighting it
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: out over social media.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: I think they wanted it handled on social media to
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: get their name out there so more people would come
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: to them.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: I love that you acted out Kelly Clarkson. We're going
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: to get cameras in here pretty soon. And people have
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: to watch just for your segment.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Because you were extremely animated.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, you would have won American Idol with that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Thank you. That was really good.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: American Idol.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So did she.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, well, the store has said they're receiving a ton
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of backlash. But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: They've now bumped the price up. from $ 15, 000, that's what
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: this bird had cost, to $ 15 million.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: She could afford it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: It could go to so many other things that would
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: be better for society. That's insane.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: There's just no words for that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh. Well, if somebody wants a $ 15 million bird,
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: then I guess they can have a $ 15 million bird.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: The consensus is that The store is sort of proving
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: its point that the bird is not for sale. In
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: a sense, that's what people were kind of saying on
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the street. But a video of the whole encounter was released.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And behind these hazel eyes, I see Miss Independent walking
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the store by herself. Wearing a pretty baggy outfit,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: she was in a bright yellow shirt, much like the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: other people in the crowded store. She's not dressed much
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: differently than the people in the store. It only lasts
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a few minutes, and by the time Clarkson makes her
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: way through the store, she's by the door, she has
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: her piece, and then she's already gone.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Right now, it's really difficult to be a happy customer.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: in a lot of places, but at the same time,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: the staff are trained to do what the staff are
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: trained to do, so it's hard to know.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with Kelly Clarkson
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: because you just get the impression when you walk into
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: certain places that they judge you by what you're wearing.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: You don't know what my tax return looks like. You
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: have no idea how much money I make, so I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: going with Kelly Clarkson. It depends on where you go.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I think you see it. You hope you don't see it,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: but yeah, if you don't look a certain way or
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: dress a certain way, people are going to look at
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: you down and that you're not worthy or something.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It speaks to the reputation she's built with the public.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: It speaks to this reputation that people trust her. She's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this Southern charm. You could see it.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: And people in Hollywood are standing up for her, too,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: saying she's the nicest person in the world.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, because they want to come on her show.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You know, every time they want to promote a song
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: or promote a movie.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure they're dying to get on the Kelly
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Clarkson show.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: She's supposed to be leaving the show.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Right, but... Yeah, they the owners and operators who are
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: like geeks, these guys and gals, you know, it's a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: very niche thing. They've said the woman makes these things
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: in Seattle. Yeah, they would put her in touch with
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the woman and she could customize it. But they weren't
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: going to sell the one they had. Hey, Kelly, doesn't
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: matter who the hell you are. It ain't for sale.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: Diva.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Here's how it's going to end. Kelly Clarkson's going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: go back there. They're going to take pictures together. Everything
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: is nice. She's going to give money to charity and
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: it'll all go away. It'll have a nice, happy ending.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: I'm sure her publicist is telling her that right now.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: She's going to support a bird sanctuary. Maybe something like that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: You know, no matter how this ends, I made seven
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson song references.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: I heard them.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I caught all seven, but yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: that was really good.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Yes. Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Leave us a talk back.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: If you caught all seven of the references.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Natalie Migliore will join us tomorrow, same time, same place.
