Stop Making Stupid People Famous

Title: “Clash on Dr. Phil”

[Scene: The Dr. Phil stage. Nadya Riot sits with arms crossed, glaring at Danielle Bregoli, aka the “Cash Me Outside” girl. Dr. Phil sits between them, looking mildly amused but ready to mediate.]


Dr. Phil:

Alright, ladies, letโ€™s keep it civil. Nadya, you reached out because youโ€™ve got some strong feelings about Danielleโ€™s rise to fame. Whatโ€™s on your mind?

Nadya Riot:

Yeah, Dr. Phil, I just wanna knowโ€”why the hell are we making stupid people famous? This girl disrespected her mom on your show, acted like a fool, and now sheโ€™s rich? Thatโ€™s the message weโ€™re sending?

Danielle Bregoli:

Girl, you mad โ€˜cause I got a bag and you donโ€™t? Donโ€™t hate the player, hate the game.

Nadya Riot:

Oh, I hate the game. Trust me. But you played it by making disrespect cool. And now kids out here think acting like a brat will make them millionaires.

Danielle Bregoli:

And? If they dumb enough to follow, that ainโ€™t on me. I turned a meme into a career. Thatโ€™s called hustlinโ€™, sweetie.

Dr. Phil:

Now, hold on, Danielle. What Nadyaโ€™s saying is that society seems to reward bad behavior. Do you think thatโ€™s a problem?

Danielle Bregoli:

Nah, the real problem is people like her sittinโ€™ here, complaininโ€™ instead of gettinโ€™ theirs. I made somethinโ€™ outta nothinโ€™. Yโ€™all just mad it wasnโ€™t you.

Nadya Riot:

Nah, what Iโ€™m mad about is how easy it is for the worst behavior to go viral while talented people struggle. Imagine if scientists or teachers got this kind of attention. But no, we hype up people who throw tantrums on TV.

Danielle Bregoli:

Ainโ€™t my fault what people wanna watch. Maybe yโ€™all shoulda made science more entertaining.

Dr. Phil:

Alright, alright. I think weโ€™re at a crossroads here. Nadya, I see your frustration. Danielle, I see your perspective. But letโ€™s askโ€”where do we go from here?

Nadya Riot:

We stop feeding the machine. Stop sharing, stop clicking, stop making nonsense viral. We need to uplift people who actually make the world better, not just people who act out.

Danielle Bregoli:

Thatโ€™s cute. But lemme know how that works out. โ€˜Cause last I checked, yโ€™all still talkinโ€™ about me.

Dr. Phil:

Well, I think weโ€™ve all got something to think about. And on that note, weโ€™ll be right back after this commercial break.


[Fade to black. Nadya and Danielle glare at each other as the cameras cut.]
