Speaker 1: I think it's time to talk about the F one
Speaker 1: weekend in Miami. It was the same weekend as the Derby,
Speaker 1: and I was supposed to go to the Derby, and
Speaker 1: I am moving and I have a place in Miami.
Speaker 1: So it made it that like I don't have to
Speaker 1: come together with so many like calculated outfits that you know, curated,
Speaker 1: really meticulous outfits and styling and get on a plane
Speaker 1: and go to a hotel and have glam that you
Speaker 1: know people that I don't know, and go from one
Speaker 1: event to the other and it could be hot, it
Speaker 1: could be raining, and go.
Speaker 2: I was like, this is going to kill me, this
Speaker 2: is going to exhaust me.
Speaker 1: So I went to F one because it was at
Speaker 1: Carbone by the Beach, which is in Miami, and that
Speaker 1: made the lift low. And I don't have to go.
Speaker 1: I can go, I cannot go. I could go any
Speaker 1: night I want. It was wonderful. I just want to
Speaker 1: say it's rare that I'll say about a brand. They
Speaker 1: deserve all their STFs, like there's an alchemy. That's a
Speaker 1: word that was on this podcast by Ian Schrager. The
Speaker 1: ultimate creator of the modern lifestyle nightlife experience is Ian
Speaker 1: Schrager Delano Hotel, Studio fifty four, Like you name it,
Speaker 1: I mean another level. And he said that there's an alchemy.
Speaker 1: And the major food group carbone Zz's their dynamic. They
Speaker 1: create an alchemy and they did this on the beach.
Speaker 1: Whoever the visionary for all of their events and all
Speaker 1: their branded experiences is a chef's kiss. Literally, It's just
Speaker 1: there's something about it, and they handle it right, and
Speaker 1: it can feel casual and people can be dressed casual,
Speaker 1: even though it's very elite and very upscale, and you'll
Speaker 1: get an eclectic group of people. It's not like Palm
Speaker 1: Beach where every single person is a cookie cutter clone
Speaker 1: of one another, just dripping filthy, rich wealth billionaire hedge
Speaker 1: fund people with planes and sports teams. It's that, but
Speaker 1: also like cool people and music people and interesting people
Speaker 1: and every all shapes and size.
Speaker 2: Is a really really interesting alchemy.
Speaker 1: And you could just meet someone that's fun, you could
Speaker 1: meet someone that's hot and attractive.
Speaker 2: You could meet someone you could do business with.
Speaker 1: The food is excellent, the music is excellent, the entertainment
Speaker 1: is beyond chef's kiss.
Speaker 2: It was really really amazing.
Speaker 1: Lauren Hill shout out to Lauren Hill and Bust Rhymes
Speaker 1: and Wyclef because while Jelly Roll was amazing and Tea
Speaker 1: Pain was amazing, the last night is still all the
Speaker 1: high rollers and still elite, but they folded in pastry
Speaker 1: chefs and people who work in restaurants and like it's
Speaker 1: always that best night. It's almost like the billionaire employees night,
Speaker 1: like there was still everybody. There was still somebody, but
Speaker 1: there were mixed in people that were more like local vibes.
Speaker 1: And that night was the night that wy Clef and
Speaker 1: Lauren Hill and Buster Rhymes performed, and that was the
Speaker 1: best musical night. The DJ was the best that night,
Speaker 1: and that that was the best night because they were
Speaker 1: singing like they were in their own living room, like
Speaker 1: they were singing like they were home in the backyard
Speaker 1: and just decided to bust out with passion and with longevity,
Speaker 1: and they were not looking at the clock, and it
Speaker 1: didn't feel like a corporate appearance. It was just soulful
Speaker 1: and it was like, I can't believe this is happening.
Speaker 1: I'm smiling ear to ear. It was wonderful. When music
Speaker 1: is good and it clicks, it's another level. And all weekend,
Speaker 1: the entertainment was phenomenal. Jelly Roll was great because it
Speaker 1: was not on the nose, you know, with just like
Speaker 1: another hip hop artist, Latin American singer Tea Pain was amazing.
Speaker 1: The whole thing was wonderful. People are wonderful. Mario Carbone
Speaker 1: is wonderful. He's a handsome, young fit g chef. His
Speaker 1: fiance Kate Bailey, who represents a lot of publicists, she's
Speaker 1: amazing too. I just think they should have a production
Speaker 1: company called Chef's Kiss. I'd like to be her publicist.
Speaker 1: She's beautiful, she's friends with interesting people, They're engaged.
Speaker 2: They're just lovely, very very nice, not pretentious at all.
Speaker 1: So I really I like them, and I think they
Speaker 1: deserve the success. And I love when a brand and
Speaker 1: an individual deserves a success.
Speaker 2: And that was great.
Speaker 1: Don't be a flaky friend. It's a reflection of who
Speaker 1: you are at work. Who you are at business, who
Speaker 1: you are in work is who you are in personal
Speaker 1: and vice versa. And I have a friend that I
Speaker 1: hadn't spoken to in years, and since I'm down in Florida,
Speaker 1: I reconnected and I was like, I don't remember what
Speaker 1: the ultimate real reason I keep We've canceled planned so
Speaker 1: many times in the last years and why it didn't
Speaker 1: ultimately work. We went out to something really amazing and
Speaker 1: this person doesn't get out much at all, and you know,
Speaker 1: doesn't do that much. And I said, I'll bring you
Speaker 1: again tomorrow and they said yes, and then we confirmed
Speaker 1: it and they said they'd come, and the next night
Speaker 1: at nine o'clock, I hadn't heard from them, and I
Speaker 1: could have brought someone for this amazing coveted ticket, and like,
Speaker 1: after the event was off to the races, this person
Speaker 1: was like basically said that they kind of like spaced
Speaker 1: out or were tired or I don't want to get
Speaker 1: into specifics, but said something and it was like, wow,
Speaker 1: now I remember what it was. What it was was
Speaker 1: the flakiness. And I don't like to feel unsafe. You've
Speaker 1: made a plan. I don't like to feel like I've
Speaker 1: made a plan and now I'm gonna have to figure
Speaker 1: out who I'm going with because I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: a loser from alone or didn't want to go alone
Speaker 1: or could.
Speaker 2: Have brought someone else. I don't like it. I don't
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 1: And as a cousin to that, there have been these
Speaker 1: like private clubs that open up in Florida and New
Speaker 1: York and LA. And it's funny to me, the people
Speaker 1: who I've asked to recommend me. Shout out to Kevin Huvane,
Speaker 1: one of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry,
Speaker 1: who I asked to recommend me for one of these clubs,
Speaker 1: and in seconds he said, done, you're in. I don't
Speaker 1: believe I ultimately joined because I was moving, but he
Speaker 1: said done, you're in. And then people not at his
Speaker 1: success level that I've asked to recommend me for these
Speaker 1: private clubs like ghost me. Ignore it time and time again.
Speaker 1: It's always the same people that ignore and then the
Speaker 1: person that is going to end up recommending me to
Speaker 1: this bougie bougie club where someone just ghosts.
Speaker 2: Did the question.
Speaker 1: This multi billionaire who is so powerful is the one
Speaker 1: writing me the ultimate letter. So it's just interesting the
Speaker 1: people that like ice you out and ghost you when
Speaker 1: you're trying to do something, Like they'll call you when
Speaker 1: they need something or call you about other things, but
Speaker 1: like in this category, they just ignore you.
Speaker 2: And I just I'm not addressing that.
Speaker 1: Crowd anymore anymore. EH need more mark my words. These
Speaker 1: private clubs though. Everything is a private club now, and
Speaker 1: a lot of them are too private. They're so private
Speaker 1: that you're sitting there in your own room and like
Speaker 1: you picked a room and you're like alone, Like what
Speaker 1: are we doing?
Speaker 2: We went out? I don't.
Speaker 1: I've been to so many private clubs. I don't find
Speaker 1: them that fun. Like they're not fun. It's sort of
Speaker 1: like sometimes you're at a section of a concert or something,
Speaker 1: but it's like not the fun part.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you're in the skybox at the tennis match and.
Speaker 1: You're like, wait, but I want to be down there,
Speaker 1: like with the people watching the match, just seeing Like
Speaker 1: now I'm up. I could be in a penthouse suite
Speaker 1: in Des Moines. What does it matter where I am?
Speaker 1: If I'm up in a sweet I'm not near the thing,
Speaker 1: and listen. I love a swite, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: but I usually love a swee. When I don't even
Speaker 1: know what the sport is, I don't really care. Another
Speaker 1: thing I want to do and I think I'm in
Speaker 1: a position to do it is talk about different famous
Speaker 1: people who have ultimately gotten a rap for not being
Speaker 1: kind or things like that. And it's happened to Catherine
Speaker 1: Heiegel who I know, people who work with her. It's
Speaker 1: happened to Jennifer Lopez. It's happened to Ellen, And I
Speaker 1: just want to say something for these massively famous celebrities. Now,
Speaker 1: I am nowhere near their fame level, but I experience
Speaker 1: things that are extremely jarring that make you not want
Speaker 1: to go out, that make you not want to trust anyone,
Speaker 1: that make you not want to talk to anyone, that
Speaker 1: make you understand how someone could almost say to their assistant,
Speaker 1: tell them not to look me in the eye. What
Speaker 1: happens with fit people are their fans. They admire you,
Speaker 1: They want to be close to it. You're naive and
Speaker 1: you think they're just great and they have the best
Speaker 1: intentions and they just want part of it. And the
Speaker 1: minute something goes bad, they want to either sue. They
Speaker 1: want to either get attention. Everybody's a social media influenza now,
Speaker 1: so they want to get attention by talking about it.
Speaker 2: This is a way. It's a contact hie.
Speaker 1: If someone talks about someone way more famous than them,
Speaker 1: they can get something. And it makes you understand where
Speaker 1: as an adult, as you get older, because you didn't
Speaker 1: see these things happen to these women in their twenties.
Speaker 1: As you get older, you get more set in your
Speaker 1: ways and you want your circle to be tighter as
Speaker 1: anyone as a civilian. So now you're also a public person,
Speaker 1: you are ready or set in your ways.
Speaker 2: You really don't trust.
Speaker 1: You may have been through a bad divorce, You've been
Speaker 1: through life more. You know what can happen. You know,
Speaker 1: you know you see in a Lizzo get sued by assist,
Speaker 1: or Lady Gaga buy a dog walker, or Jennifer Lopez
Speaker 1: is walking up stairs and maybe said something the wrong
Speaker 1: way in that one moment. And you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: saying you need to feel for celebrities and their plight.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that as someone who gets pulled it
Speaker 1: and picked at, you kind of see how it could
Speaker 1: go sideways. Because just yesterday a person called me. I
Speaker 1: thought it was my business lawyer. He was like hi, Bethany.
Speaker 1: I'm like hi, and he's like, oh, X told me
Speaker 1: you're moving to Why I don't know this person. I've
Speaker 1: I've met this person over the years, but I haven't
Speaker 1: seen this person for thirty maybe twenty five years, easily,
Speaker 1: but I would not recognize them. I might say that
Speaker 1: looks familiar because I know them through another person, but
Speaker 1: like we've never spoken on the phone ever. Once it's
Speaker 1: the friend of the friend that you're with that may
Speaker 1: come out and meet everybody, Like, but like I'm not
Speaker 1: friends of this person. So they called me where are
Speaker 1: you moving exactly? And also I heard you're moving here?
Speaker 1: Where's your daughter going to school? Like I felt like
Speaker 1: I was getting a rectal exam. And I and here's
Speaker 1: what was going through my mind in the moment. I said,
Speaker 1: I feel very uncomfortable right now. It's almost like a
Speaker 1: telemarketer call, but you like didn't really I go, but
Speaker 1: more it was like a reporter.
Speaker 2: I feel very uncomfortable. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm just like kind of private. No, no, no, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna tell anybody.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 1: We don't gossip, but just like if you need anybody,
Speaker 1: we're here. I'm like, okay, thank you, But like I
Speaker 1: couldn't keep it together, and I was just like, I
Speaker 1: feel very uncomfortable. I think I'm gonna go. I was
Speaker 1: just very off guard and it was jarring. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a text, it was a phone call, and it kind
Speaker 1: of freaked me out. I just felt very like violated,
Speaker 1: because I don't know this person, and maybe like someone's
Speaker 1: calling someone to be nice, but like you're calling me
Speaker 1: as a public but we're not friends, Like so you
Speaker 1: didn't call me years ago as the twenty other times
Speaker 1: I moved to call me. And I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: a bad person at all. And then we got off
Speaker 1: and I was like paranoid and I called back. I go, hi,
Speaker 1: I was just caught off guard. I just didn't mean
Speaker 1: to be rude. So now I'm apologizing to this person
Speaker 1: who I don't know because I felt bad because I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: like I now feel bad and now I look like
Speaker 1: this bitch and now I'm living up if it's like
Speaker 1: bitchy celebrity like reputation. But I just did feel off guard,
Speaker 1: and a public person is not allowed to have that moment.
Speaker 1: They're just not You're not allowed to like complain, You're
Speaker 1: not allowed to have a normal response to something. And
Speaker 1: so I'm just saying I'm not saying you need to
Speaker 1: like celebrities or no celebrities are dead and no one
Speaker 1: likes celebrity and whatever. I was just giving a thought
Speaker 1: that I had that, like I don't blame megastars for
Speaker 1: keeping their head down, not wanting to talk to anybody,
Speaker 1: and not wanting to expose themselves to anything, not wanting
Speaker 1: anyone new, not wanting the new working for them, not wanting.
Speaker 2: Any of it. I'm just telling you that's what I
Speaker 2: feel like.
Speaker 1: Your body language changes, you change because if you've had
Speaker 1: enough people fuck with you and try to take from
Speaker 1: you and try to take you down and try to
Speaker 1: you know, and just fuck with you and grab then
Speaker 1: you know, because the stakes are high. They're very high
Speaker 1: for a person like a one of these famous people.
Speaker 1: Married men simply have to wear rings. If they don't,
Speaker 1: there has to be a very clear indication that they're married.
Speaker 1: And this message isn't really even for the men. I
Speaker 1: don't care what it's the women. They'll be a married
Speaker 1: man talking to me that's not wearing a ring. And
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying he's hitting on me. He's just
Speaker 1: a man. We're talking for an extended period of time.
Speaker 1: But I think he might be No, I think he
Speaker 1: is single because he's not wearing a fucking ring. I
Speaker 1: think he is single. But then the wife gets a
Speaker 1: little snippy or is around And I did one person
Speaker 1: I didn't even know how to wife. I didn't know,
Speaker 1: and I was talking to the wife but didn't know
Speaker 1: the wife was with the person.
Speaker 2: I didn't know. How would I know? Why would I know?
Speaker 2: I don't know who anybody is. I didn't know.
Speaker 1: And you get a little bit of an attitude from
Speaker 1: the wife and you're like, why don't you fucking step off?
Speaker 1: Your man needs to wear a ring, Like that's how
Speaker 1: you feel. I don't say that. I didn't say that,
Speaker 1: but like, don't give me any kind of subtle coldness
Speaker 1: or anything, because I did not know that your man
Speaker 1: was married. And let's pretend it was me totally flirting.
Speaker 1: Let's pretend I went over and gave the man a
Speaker 1: lap dance as a man with no ring. Don't give
Speaker 1: me an addict.
Speaker 2: I didn't do that.
Speaker 1: I would never do that. Don't give me an attitude
Speaker 1: because your man's not wearing a ring. I would have
Speaker 1: no way of knowing that he wasn't open for lap
Speaker 1: dance business. So make your man a ring, put him
Speaker 1: on a leash, keep him home. It's not my fucking problem.
Speaker 1: If your man does not have a ring on and
Speaker 1: I don't know you're married. Tough shit, tough actual shit.
Speaker 1: Can we not with the kids getting into college. Everything
Speaker 1: is a party for these coddled fucking kids. Everything is
Speaker 1: a shiny balloon and streamers and a sweatshirt and a
Speaker 1: sweatsuit down to Like the engagement is a full production.
Speaker 1: You get engaged, there's a camera crew there and everything
Speaker 1: has to be like and look who's talking, but like
Speaker 1: an engagement, and.
Speaker 2: Then there's an audience. Then you go to the wedding
Speaker 2: and you're.
Speaker 1: Wearing the outfit which I wore for the day before,
Speaker 1: but there's five outfits the day of people getting three
Speaker 1: wardrobe changes. I didn't have that when I got married,
Speaker 1: and that wasn't that long ago. And now it's getting
Speaker 1: into college. It's the bridal parties, it's people going broke.
Speaker 1: Everybody has to wear a different fucking bling do own
Speaker 1: outfit for everything. Like it's crazy nuts getting into college.
Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't do any of this stuff. You
Speaker 1: got into college, you were excited.
Speaker 2: That's it.
