00:02:14oh right that was more of a um inspiration
00:02:18you're as bad as lux you can't feel a bunch of ones and zeros it has no soul
00:02:23literally billions of people prove you wrong every day billions of people
00:02:27i could give two shits how many plugins you have we're tracking everything

00:03:35well raw emotion makes the best music
00:03:39why do you think lux is so popular

00:03:46front of them

00:03:54samantha broke my heart
00:03:55she used me for the fame
00:03:57and she called the paparazzi so we were never alone
00:04:00and she told me that if i had a more commercial approach that i would be more successful
00:04:04and i tried it
00:04:05and then when it flopped she um

00:37:47who the fuck is maddie bryce anyway you could drop that song tomorrow and no one would even care
00:37:58okay wait so luke rivers the same luke rivers who's just been trashing lux for months just had one of
00:38:03his
00:38:04songs posted on lux's page and fans are not taking it well people were talking grammy nomination for
00:38:09this guy after this yeah i think you can pretty much kiss that goodbye luke rivers has been talking
00:38:13trashed on lux since she became popular and now he wants a piece of her success what a hypocrite
00:38:19how the fuck did lux get my song i i just i really love the song and i wanted it
00:38:25to do well and i i can't
00:38:27and you and you and you did nothing you understand that the label could shut down everything what were
00:38:32you thinking what if she is what people think what if she really is ai no no luke she isn't
00:38:42you really think that
00:38:45it's okay does remember a strategy you guys have a strategy don't worry little girl i've got this all
00:38:53in control
00:38:57so it looks like the internet's already moved on from that whole lux controversy because
00:39:00all anyone wants to talk about is luke and samantha
00:39:19what am i supposed to do i don't know i just hate seeing all these photos of you with her
00:39:23it's okay baby it's for the cameras it's all fake i don't care about her they've been seen everywhere
00:39:30they're getting dinners holding hands and it's absolutely blowing up their socials
00:39:54the goal is to get back on everyone's for you page and back into the grammys conversation
00:39:58mission accomplished and then this got captured and yeah the internet is very much obsessed

00:44:32want to wake up to you every morning
00:44:33you
00:45:18I thought you wanted to wake up next to me every morning.
00:45:21I did.
00:45:22You just kept sleeping.
00:45:34Is this your mom?
00:45:39Every time I play one of these tapes, it distorts a little more.
00:45:42It's still clear in my memory, but that's fading too.
00:45:46You're giving her legacy a lie.
00:45:52I just wish you could hear how I remember her.
00:45:55I wish the world could hear how special she was.
00:46:00I wish you could give that to me.
00:46:03You give me so much already.
00:46:38There's no going back after this.
00:46:40He ditched me at the VMAs.
00:46:41Just do it.
00:46:48Chip, darling.
00:46:50Yes, I have the perfect act for Saturday night in India.
00:46:53Her name?
00:46:55Lux.
00:47:02Good news.
00:47:04You're playing Indio.
00:47:09Right after you've impressed the bookers at the showcase tonight.
00:47:14Oh my god, we've really got to work on your communication skills.
00:47:17Well, yes.
00:47:17One of the acts dropped out, so there is a spot to fill.
00:47:20Guys, this is one more song.
00:47:22One more performance.
00:47:24Your album's almost done.
00:47:25Can you taste it?
00:47:26It tastes like victory.
00:47:28Yes, let's go.
00:47:31Let's go.
00:47:35Ah.
00:47:35Oh, you're wasting so much time.
00:47:38Maybe I'll just tell the label Maddie's secret.
00:47:40Samantha, I know what the fuck I'm doing, okay?
00:47:42Why do we even need her?
00:47:43The label has resources.
00:47:45Just recreate Lux.
00:47:45Lux, are you literally an idiot?
00:47:49Do you really think that the label is anti-AI?
00:47:52We just can't do it as good as she does.
00:47:55Maddie made Lux who she is.
00:47:57I need access to that account.
00:47:59Well, when you get access to that account, I'm taking over as Lux.
00:48:05That social media, the songs are mine.
00:48:08When that day comes and I can send you on tour far, far, far away from me,
00:48:13trust me, it cannot come soon enough.
00:48:14That day cannot come soon enough.
00:48:16Oh, God.
00:48:24Hey, Mom.
00:48:27What happened to Dad?
00:48:31Mom!
00:48:33Mom!
00:48:38Where's Dad?
00:48:39He's resting upstairs.
00:48:41The doctor said that his heart is very weak.
00:48:44He should be in the hospital.
00:48:46We can't afford that.
00:48:47We can't afford anything.
00:48:49What about the business?
00:48:52You mean family business?
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:55Maddie, you are his family.
00:48:58Without you, there is no business.
00:49:00I'm sorry.
00:49:02But I'm here now.
00:49:04I was thinking of selling their business.
00:49:07But it's not enough.
00:49:12What's wrong?
00:49:14Nothing.
00:49:19I'm going to take care of this family from now on.
00:49:22Okay?
00:49:22Whatever it takes.
00:49:31You're making a smart choice.
00:49:34Is it the right one?
00:49:38Is this everything?
00:49:39Yeah, the computer, the project files, all the song masters, the account information, everything.
00:49:48Do you remember when we first met and I told you that you really had it?
00:49:55I am never wrong about that.
00:50:06Break a leg out there.
00:50:08Thanks.
00:50:12Just one more song and dance and then we're in Indio.
00:50:19There's no one else I would want to do this.
00:50:21I've been waiting to feel like this my whole life.
00:50:25Like what?
00:50:27Like me.
00:50:31Maddie, I, um...
00:50:35I love you.
00:50:43Let's do this.
00:50:45Let's do this.
00:51:10I'm so sorry.
00:51:11Can we take that back to one?
00:51:13Yeah.
00:51:14Sure, Luke.
00:51:15Go ahead.
00:51:17Okay.
00:51:20I can't ever seem to read your mind.
00:51:24And I think about it all the time.
00:51:28I want to be the one to let you in.
00:51:31You deserve to feel love again.
00:51:35But I'm drifting away.
00:51:42You know, we really want this to work.
00:51:45Sorry.
00:51:46Why don't you guys take five?
00:51:48Yeah.
00:51:49Yeah, we'll do that.
00:51:53It's okay.
00:51:54It's okay.
00:51:54We got this.
00:51:55No.
00:51:56I...
00:51:58Not what you think.
00:52:02I'm a fraud.
00:52:04What?
00:52:04I'm a phony.
00:52:06I'm a loser.
00:52:07Now everybody's going to see it.
00:52:09They already have.
00:52:11It's not true.
00:52:12That's not true.
00:52:15Actually...
00:52:18It is.
00:52:21You kept it up for a really long time, Maddie.
00:52:24You really did.
00:52:25But now...
00:52:26Everyone knows you're not capable.
00:52:29No, Sam.
00:52:30No, it's you.
00:52:31It's the way you fucking work.
00:52:33The way you make music.
00:52:34I can't fucking stand it.
00:52:36You're fake.
00:52:38Do you understand that?
00:52:39Now fuck off.
00:52:42Really, Luke?
00:52:43Why don't you ask your little girlfriend
00:52:45if there's anything she has to tell you?
00:52:47Hmm?
00:52:47Like maybe something she just sold to me?
00:52:51Something artificial about her?
00:52:54What is she talking about?
00:52:56What is she talking about?
00:52:57I wanted to tell you.
00:52:59I didn't want to hurt you, but...
00:53:01Maddie, what?
00:53:05I'm Lux.
00:53:11Why do you think Lux is so popular?
00:53:13What if she really is AI?
00:53:14No, no, Luke.
00:53:15She isn't.
00:53:16D-Lex.
00:53:18What the fuck was that?
00:53:19Oh, you'll find out later, but no one else knows.
00:53:21Who knows about what?
00:53:26No.
00:53:27No, please.
00:53:28No, no.
00:53:28Please let me explain.
00:53:29I trusted you.
00:53:31I thought that...
00:53:34Everybody wants something from me.
00:53:36And I thought that...
00:53:37Just stay away from me.
00:53:39I don't ever want to see you again.
00:53:52I don't ever want to see you again.
00:53:59It's not only one.
00:54:01It's not only one, but no one else knows.
00:54:08It's not only one.
00:54:09romantically, like, dun-dun.
00:54:11I'm so disappointed.
00:54:12Like, that was actually the most exciting part
00:54:13of the whole album rollout for me.
00:54:15What's happened?
00:54:15That album that everyone was waiting for?
00:54:17On holds.
00:54:18Indefinitely, which is just, man.
00:54:21Hey, Bella, it's Mads.
00:54:22Something happened with Luke,
00:54:23and there's something I need to tell you face-to-face.
00:54:28Hey, I'll crack you.
00:54:30Okay.
00:54:35I have to tell you something.
00:54:37Yeah, yeah, anything.
00:54:38What?
00:54:40I'm...
00:54:42I'm Lux.
00:54:45Okay.
00:54:49Oh, my God.
00:54:54So you hid this from me the whole time?
00:54:55I thought I was your best friend.
00:54:56You are my best friend.
00:54:57I didn't tell anybody.
00:54:59Oh.
00:54:59I just needed something to hide behind,
00:55:01and it got out of hand.
00:55:02Okay.
00:55:03But it's done now.
00:55:05What does that mean?
00:55:05It's done now.
00:55:06You are Lux.
00:55:07I sold Lux to the label
00:55:09to get the money I need for my parents.
00:55:10No.
00:55:11No, Maddie.
00:55:12You cannot do that.
00:55:14Girl, you are, like, this close
00:55:15to, like, actually making it, like, for real.
00:55:18Like, all of your dreams.
00:55:20You just have to, like, fill up.
00:55:21I don't know.
00:55:21Believe in yourself and all that.
00:55:22I'm already done.
00:55:30I'm going home.
00:55:34Mads, you don't have to leave.
00:55:36Yes, I do.
00:55:37You hate me.
00:55:38Everyone hates me.
00:55:39I hate myself.
00:55:40I do not hate you, okay?
00:55:41I am upset.
00:55:42There is a difference.
00:55:42Well, I have to go help my family,
00:55:44so this was all just a stupid dream.
00:55:47Well, if that's what you really believe,
00:55:48then fine.
00:55:56I'm not going to stop dreaming for you.
00:56:03I can't.
00:56:28And it just keeps getting worse for Luke Roots.
00:56:29We are hearing that his shows are half empty.
00:56:32People are walking out mid-set,
00:56:33and the performances themselves are just not there.
00:56:35This is someone who weeks ago
00:56:36looked like he was on his way back,
00:56:38and that's a brutal fall.
00:56:42Three days until Indio,
00:56:43and we just got some absolutely insane news.
00:56:45Lux is teasing on social media,
00:56:47that she's going to take the mask off,
00:56:49and she's going to reveal who she is
00:56:50on the main stage in front of everyone,
00:56:51and the internet is losing it,
00:56:53and honestly, so am I.
00:57:02Hey, Dad.
00:57:06They said it's good if I talk to you.
00:57:10We don't know if you can hear us or not,
00:57:12but if I have to watch you go
00:57:14without getting to say goodbye,
00:57:15I wanted you to hear this.
00:57:18I wanted you to hear this.
00:57:22Watching you drift far away
00:57:26I feel you slip on by
00:57:31Just wanted to make you proud
00:57:35Does it ever work?
00:57:37Does it ever hurt less than right now?
00:57:43Memories float like clouds
00:57:52Memories float like clouds
00:58:05I miss everything, Dad.
00:58:13That was so beautiful.
00:58:19Did you write it for him?
00:58:23I don't know.
00:58:25Do you really care?
00:58:27Do you remember those kids
00:58:29that were mean to you?
00:58:32I wish I could forget.
00:58:35That day I decided
00:58:36that I don't want the world to hurt you.
00:58:39So instead,
00:58:41I hurt you.
00:58:43I'm so sorry.
00:58:48But you have to go now.
00:58:51It's too late.
00:58:52The festival is up.
00:58:53No, I'm not talking about concerts.
00:58:54I'm talking about Luke.
00:58:55I'm talking about your heart.
00:58:58Take it from a mortician.
00:59:00While you're breathing,
00:59:02you can't give up.
00:59:26Hi, Sam.
00:59:27You at Indio?
00:59:28Yes, yes.
00:59:29But everyone is here except you.
00:59:31I'm not going.
00:59:32Come on.
00:59:33You need to be networking.
00:59:34And I have an artist pass
00:59:36with your name on it.
00:59:38There's going to be a big surprise
00:59:39at Lux's show tonight.
00:59:41So don't fuck this up, Luke Rivers.
00:59:51Please hear me out.
00:59:53No, no, no, no, no, Luke.
00:59:55I just want to say I'm sorry.
00:59:56I made a mistake.
00:59:58No, I don't have anything
00:59:58left to say, Luke.
00:59:59No, no, Luke.
01:00:00The music that we made together,
01:00:02that's real.
01:00:03You can't fake that in action.
01:00:04I don't know what's real anymore.
01:00:07I am real.
01:00:09I'm here and I'm real
01:00:11and I love you.
01:00:20I love you.
01:00:23I love you.
01:00:24I love you.
01:00:26I love you.
01:00:28I love you.
01:00:30Just go.
01:00:32Luke!
01:00:33I...
01:00:52Hey, Sam.
01:00:53Hey.
01:00:55Hey.
01:00:55Do you, uh,
01:00:55you still have that pass?
01:01:04Maddie Bryce?
01:01:05Hey, Clara.
01:01:06How's it going?
01:01:07I thought you were my astrologer.
01:01:09Um,
01:01:10I need your help.
01:01:11Can you get me an artist pass
01:01:13to Samantha's show?
01:01:14Are you joking?
01:01:15You burned this bridge
01:01:16when you burned Luke.
01:01:17I want absolutely nothing
01:01:18to do with you
01:01:19unless I am dead
01:01:20and you are embalming me.
01:01:29Restoring footage
01:01:30processing
01:01:33Restoration
01:01:34failed
01:01:43I want to share this quote
01:01:46that I found by David Bowie.
01:01:47It says
01:01:49Always remember
01:01:51that the reason
01:01:52that you initially
01:01:53started working
01:01:53is that there was
01:01:55something inside yourself
01:01:56that felt like
01:01:57if you could manifest it
01:01:59in some way
01:01:59you would understand
01:02:01more about yourself
01:02:02and how you coexist
01:02:03with the rest of society.
01:02:05And I think it's
01:02:06terribly dangerous
01:02:07for an artist
01:02:08to fulfill
01:02:08other people's expectations.
01:02:10I think they generally
01:02:11produce their worst work
01:02:13when they do that.
01:02:14Oh, and the other thing
01:02:15is that if you feel safe
01:02:16in the area
01:02:17that you're working in
01:02:18you're not working
01:02:19in the right area.
01:02:23Always go a little further
01:02:24into the water
01:02:25than you feel
01:02:25you're capable of being in.
01:02:27Go a little bit
01:02:28out of your depth
01:02:28and when you don't feel
01:02:30like your feet
01:02:30are quite touching the bottom
01:02:32you're just about
01:02:33in the right place
01:02:34to do something exciting.
01:02:43Hello?
01:02:43Hey, Bella.
01:02:45Um, I need your help
01:02:46with something.
01:02:47I want to do a live stream
01:02:49play some music
01:02:52as myself.
01:02:58I'm really glad you're here.
01:03:00I'm glad too.
01:03:02Now,
01:03:04you're sure
01:03:05you want to do this?
01:03:07No,
01:03:07but I'm going to do it anyway.
01:03:09Okay.
01:03:10Okay.
01:03:10All right.
01:03:15Feels kind of silly
01:03:16with no one watching.
01:03:18Oh, oh, oh.
01:03:19Hi.
01:03:20Welcome to my channel.
01:03:23Um,
01:03:26when I was a kid,
01:03:30I cared a lot about
01:03:32what other people
01:03:33thought about me
01:03:34and
01:03:36those people
01:03:37didn't think
01:03:37very highly of me.
01:03:39I wrote this song
01:03:40a long time ago
01:03:42and I used to think
01:03:44that
01:03:45it was to prove
01:03:46those kids wrong
01:03:48and then I thought
01:03:49that it was
01:03:49for my parents
01:03:52and then I thought
01:03:53that it was
01:03:53for a guy.
01:03:57but now I know
01:03:58it was for me
01:04:03and now it's
01:04:04for you.
01:04:08Heart is beating
01:04:10so loud
01:04:13I know
01:04:15what I want
01:04:19Everything's
01:04:20a mess now
01:04:23I've lost
01:04:24all that I've
01:04:53I'll pack the body glitter.
01:04:57Yeah?
01:04:59Indio starts tonight
01:05:00and people are literally
01:05:01fighting for spots
01:05:02at the main stage
01:05:03to see Lux reveal
01:05:03who she is
01:05:04and honestly,
01:05:05what a power move.
01:05:06You want to prove
01:05:07you're not AI?
01:05:07Take the mask off
01:05:08in front of 50,000 people.
01:05:10Everyone's eyes
01:05:10are going to be
01:05:11on that stage.
01:05:11Hi, yes.
01:05:12We saw that you are
01:05:14selling passes to Indio.
01:05:15We will take them
01:05:16whatever they cost.
01:05:16Yeah, they're 50 grand each.
01:05:18What?
01:05:18Dude, what the fuck?
01:05:19No, you are never
01:05:19going to get that.
01:05:20You dumb.
01:05:22Asshole.
01:05:23What are you up to?
01:05:23I got a bunch of followers
01:05:25off of that live stream
01:05:26so I just said
01:05:27I need to get into Indio tonight.
01:05:29Internet, do your thing.
01:05:30Yeah.
01:05:30Hey, this one person
01:05:31said that their cousin
01:05:32is a security guard
01:05:33and that one of the fence sectors
01:05:35is light on security.
01:05:36Sounds like old times.
01:05:39Let's do it.
01:05:40All right, how fast

01:07:17No, Clara.
01:07:18This is all because of me.
01:07:19So if I'm not happy,
01:07:20I'll make sure
01:07:21you're out of a fucking job.
01:07:30Maddie Bryce.
01:07:31I'm not legally allowed
01:07:33to say things like,
01:07:34damn, you look great.
01:07:35You look even better
01:07:36in my Airbnb,
01:07:37so I just say that
01:07:38for illustrative purposes.
01:07:39Well, it's so great
01:07:40to see you.
01:07:42Are you excited
01:07:43to see Lux?
01:07:44She's Clara's thing.
01:07:45All I know are the socials
01:07:46are freaking huge.
01:07:47Whatever makes that paper.
01:07:49Am I right?
01:07:49Dude, how old are you?
01:07:52How about you take us
01:07:54backstage for Lux's show
01:07:56and then we hit some afters?
01:07:58You read my mind,
01:07:58you telepathic smoke show.
01:08:01Come on.
01:08:19So what now?
01:08:20Once we get back there,
01:08:21we have to find a way
01:08:21to sabotage some
01:08:22endless show
01:08:23and then we play this video.
01:08:24I know, I know,
01:08:25but now I'll figure it out.
01:08:29Ah, Sebastian,
01:08:30your cheeks are flushed
01:08:31and you're grinding your teeth.
01:08:32You must be doing great.
01:08:33I am.
01:08:34I'm doing so great.
01:08:36I found Maddie Bryson,
01:08:38her friend.
01:08:38What was your name again?
01:08:41Fuck off, old man.
01:08:42You know what?
01:08:43I think I can hear
01:08:43the Saturday Night Headliner
01:08:44calling your name.
01:08:45Wait a minute.
01:08:46Oh, cool.
01:08:48See you later, Maddie.
01:08:50I can think of three reasons
01:08:51why you might be here
01:08:52and I don't like any of them.
01:08:53We were here
01:08:54because the origin of the other thing.
01:08:55Your lies might work
01:08:56on a coked-out Sebastian,
01:08:58but they are not going
01:08:58to work on this, Brit.
01:08:59You better tell me the truth.
01:09:01Or I'm going to ask security
01:09:02what list you are actually on.
01:09:06Clara, you're making a big mistake.
01:09:08More like a masterstroke.
01:09:09Smuts is going to make me
01:09:10a lot of money
01:09:11once she's taken Lux's audience.
01:09:12She won't make you shit.
01:09:15Yeah, sure.
01:09:16Have you been watching her socials?
01:09:20So here's an interesting development.
01:09:21Some fans are starting to notice
01:09:23something's off with Lux.
01:09:24Her last three songs have been,
01:09:26well, I don't know,
01:09:26but I don't like it.
01:09:27What?
01:09:28Lately, Lux's music sucks.
01:09:30If she doesn't turn it around
01:09:31to India tonight,
01:09:32I'm over it.
01:09:33Oh my God.
01:09:34I have a stage
01:09:34in front of 20,000 people.
01:09:36Put me up there.
01:09:38Yeah, right.
01:09:39I appreciate the chutzpah,
01:09:41but the last time
01:09:41I put you in front of an audience,
01:09:42you fell flat on your face.
01:09:47Clara,
01:09:49you told me a long time ago
01:09:50that I have it.
01:09:52I finally believe you.
01:09:55Let me share it with people.
01:09:58Right now,
01:09:59you have the chance
01:10:00to do the right thing.

01:10:40to take the stage
01:10:40any minute now
01:10:41and we're about to find out
01:10:42who she actually is.
01:10:44My friends and I
01:10:45have been camped out
01:10:45at the main stage all day
01:10:46because we want a good view
01:10:47for when Lux takes her mask off.
01:10:49Like, seriously,
01:10:49this is like a historical moment.
01:10:50Like, we can't wait.
01:10:51This is the moment.
01:10:52Okay, I'm accessing the program.
01:10:54Almost done.
01:10:56What is that?
01:10:57Warning,
01:10:57the following command will corrupt.
01:10:59This is going to break Lux.
01:11:00Are you okay with that?
01:11:04I have to be.
01:11:16I know you're here for a new artist.
01:11:19And I don't want to disappoint you.

01:18:06That's so great.
01:18:12I love you.
01:18:14I love you, too.
01:18:46It seems like one of the only things that people can actually agree on right now is that Maddie and
01:18:49Luke put out an incredible album.
01:18:51I love the new Luke and Maddie album.
01:18:53It is like best album of the year for sure.
01:18:55I need Maddie and Luke to make music together forever.
01:18:57Please.
01:18:58By the way, does anyone know what happened to Samantha Stern?
01:19:00Because I can genuinely not find any updates anywhere.
01:19:03Hey, gang.
01:19:03Quick life update.
01:19:05I've been doing a lot of inner work lately, which is why I'm launching my brand new manifestation course.
01:19:11Because you know what?
01:19:12It's all about inner work.
01:19:14And I have cracked the code.
01:19:16So courses start at only 20k a month.
01:19:19And you, too, can be as balanced as me.
01:19:22See you there.
01:19:24Oh, in another news, former Interlink exec Clara Vance just announced that she's starting her own management company.
01:19:28The name?
01:19:29Bad Bitch Management.
01:19:30And her first client, Maddie and Luke.
01:19:32Yes.
01:19:32I love everything about this.
01:19:34That's all I got for you today.
01:19:35And, of course, as always, I'm Philip DeFranco.
01:19:37You've just been filled in.
