Speaker 1

It's time for Donkey of the Day.

Speaker 2

Donkey said, I'm a Democrat, so being Dounky of the day is a little bit of a mixed so like.

Speaker 3

A donkey Donky of the day.

Speaker 1

The club bitches.

Speaker 2

Now, I've been called a lot of my twenty three years.

Speaker 3

That donkey of the day is a new white.

Speaker 2

Yes, Donkey of to Day for Tuesday, July eighteenth goes to Miranda Lambert.

Speaker 1

Do any of the colors in the room know who Miranda Lambert is?

Speaker 3

Only because that's how the clip.

Speaker 1

I have no clue.

Speaker 2

Okay, Well, she's a country singer born in Longview, Texas. All right, She's a pretty big deal, sales millions of records, has a really solid fan base, and she has a residency in Las Vegas.

Speaker 1

Okay, she not no usher. Well, she has a residency in Las.

Speaker 2

Vegas, a right, And she started a little mayonnaise flavored kerfuffle over the weekend when she decided to shame some of her fans who paid their hard earned money to come to her residency. Now, I'm really interested to see what y'all think about this, because I see it both ways. First of all, the headline in the New York post reads Miranda Lambert walk out of her concert after she's shamed selfie takers.

Speaker 1

Let's listen to what happened.

Speaker 3

I'm gonna stay right here for I'm sorry the stuns are worried about selfie and not listening to the songs, testing off a little bit.

Speaker 1

Again. I think she was a little off kid and she just used that to get back on key. But that's just me.

Speaker 2

Now there's a part of me who goes to concert sometimes and performances, and all I could think to myself is why is everyone watching this through their phone? Why can't people just ever enjoyed the moment? It used to annoy me a lot until I realized me being annoyed at them is causing me not to enjoy the moment. See when we are at a live of being a live show and folks is choosing to watch that show through their phones.

Speaker 1

They choosing to go live the whole show.

Speaker 2

They want to sing their favorite songs with their friends for their ig stories.

Speaker 1

That's on them. I'm not about this.

Speaker 2

It's been the whole show complaining about what they doing, because then I personally won't be enjoying my moment. Now, let's look at that from the perspective of the performer. I'm Miranda Lambert. I'm performing. I notice a group of girls taking a selfie in the crowd. It's two thousand and three, mind you, everybody and their mother probably got their phones out. But you are gonna stop your whole show, interrupt the flow of everything. Never mind everybody else that's

actually engaged in joining you. You're gonna stop the flow to shame kids for taking selfies at your concert.

Speaker 1

Miranda, I know you only.

Speaker 2

Thirty nine, but relax, grandma, Okay, this is a very elderly annoyance.

Speaker 1

All right.

Speaker 2

I expect this type of behavior from Dolly Parton, But Miranda, you're thirty nine.

Speaker 1

Who's Dolly Pauton?

Speaker 2

You really acting like a color and I know you know better, all right, better cut it out. Man over there acting like a little canary canary color, the canary yellow colored over there?

Speaker 1

All right, all right, all right, Miranda, this is your error.

Speaker 2

You should be more than used to this by now, and to say it's pissing me off a little bit. Okay, Sorry, I don't like it at all. We're here to sing some country music and these girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song. Maybe they loved that song so much that they had to show their followers that they are all together watching their favorite artists singing their favorite song from that artist. That is nothing to stop a show over and shame the folks who

paid good money to come watch you perform. Now, is the customer always right? No, But the customer can always make their own decisions. The customer can always make their own choices. And guess what several fans chose to leave. They chose to chuck the damn deuces. They decided to exit the premisist because they came to a Miranda Lambert show to do a lot of things, but be shamed

by Miranda Lambert is not one of them. To be shamed by the person they paid money, good money to see is not one of them.

Speaker 1

Now.

Speaker 2

Of course, these young ladies put their exit on social media. Okay, they are consistent. Content is content?

Speaker 3

You know?

Speaker 1

You know you made them feel important, all right?

Speaker 2

They were important enough that you stopped your show to shame them. They think they really lick Now, let's listen.

Speaker 3

You don't.

Speaker 1

I'm so appalled, Latifa. Let's get down here, girl.

Speaker 3

I don't even know why I let you drag me out to this white anyway, because Beyonce would never I.

Speaker 1

Didn't know who was colored. I had no idea.

Speaker 2

Wow, Miranda, you didn't even make this a teachable moment. Okay, you're supposed to encourage your fans to put the phones down and just enjoy, all right, enjoy where they are. If they don't, that's on them. They paid tickets. They can choose to enjoy the show however they want. If they don't, who cares. You still got paid nowadays, taking self, he's going live, that's all part of the concert going experience. May not be for you what it is for the customer.

Please give them Randam Lambert, the sweet sown to the Hamiltons.

Speaker 3

Oh no, you are the doge, the dogee.

Speaker 1
