Why Does the Kelly Clarkson Story Feel Light?

at 1:39:44

From the episode: Malcolm Gladwell #4

Answer

Dax Shepard and Monica Padman turn to a Kelly Clarkson story that feels light because the world is so depressing right now. The algorithm needs a cleanse. Geopolitics and politics are a mess. Inflation is through the goddamn roof. Everything is bad. Personal stories feel heavy on the heart, including a horrible story about a man who fell off a roller coaster and was a dad.

Dax Shepard and Monica Padman have not both watched the video. The one who has been with Kelly Clarkson knows the details. The other saw there was a video, did not have time to watch it, and has only heard about what happened. That side still calls the Kelly Clarkson story light and inconsequential. The reply is that it could be consequences of the proprietor.
