Speaker 1: I want to know where the line is in bragging
Speaker 1: on social media. You know, the thing is if I
Speaker 1: only post me in pajamas looking like a wreck, that's
Speaker 1: the truth. That's nine of the time. And I guess
Speaker 1: that's relatable because people will realize that I don't live
Speaker 1: this fabulous lifestyle all the time. I just happened to
Speaker 1: go on nice vacations, which is contradicting what I've just said.
Speaker 1: But of the time, I'm a mom at home, like
Speaker 1: cleaning up pa and saying to Brin, please don't drink
Speaker 1: that smoothie on the couch because it's chocolate, and you know,
Speaker 1: like the bullshit that other people go through. But I
Speaker 1: watch people and because it was Valentine's Day and showing
Speaker 1: everything they have and they've gotten, and I watched the
Speaker 1: bragging on social media, and I just want to know
Speaker 1: the line between bragging and flexing and like humble bragging,
Speaker 1: you know, like the amana jet hashtag blessed and the
Speaker 1: being sensitive like it was Valentine's Day and my fiance
Speaker 1: got me very very nice gifts and you would have
Speaker 1: loved them if you follow me on social media. But
Speaker 1: I just I'm aware that that day now listen to this.
Speaker 1: That day Valentine's Day, I didn't realize I was getting
Speaker 1: my period. I had a lot going on at work.
Speaker 1: I was really not having a great day. It just
Speaker 1: was a ship day. You could have a bad day
Speaker 1: on Christmas. It may not be because you're alone or
Speaker 1: you're you could be single, you could be divorced, you
Speaker 1: could be getting a divorce, you could be depressed, you
Speaker 1: could be cheating, you could be being cheated on. Whatever
Speaker 1: it is. And this doesn't have to only mean about
Speaker 1: Valentine's age just reminded me. But someone's going through something,
Speaker 1: and the last thing you want to see is someone
Speaker 1: who's in a good relationship, who's you know, getting amazing gifts.
Speaker 1: But even though I'm in an amazing relationship, which is
Speaker 1: sort of connected to that j Lo Ben resting bitch
Speaker 1: face he had, and he may be happy, he may
Speaker 1: be miserable, like for that day or overall. You can't know.
Speaker 1: But like if I just post this amazing gift that
Speaker 1: Paul got me on Valentine's Day, what if it makes
Speaker 1: somebody else feel bad and it might be you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know how that could ever be good? Like,
Speaker 1: how is that aspirational. You're gonna work hard to try
Speaker 1: to meet someone who's gonna be prince charming, who's gonna
Speaker 1: get you a nice kid. Like it doesn't even track.
Speaker 1: And so these hashtag blessed or like the people do it,
Speaker 1: so you know, you see how hard they work. I
Speaker 1: don't know, like I've showed some of my belongings as
Speaker 1: it pertains to getting scammed on a site, or as
Speaker 1: it pertains to something else, or if something's like are
Speaker 1: adjacent where this is made, and it's very friend and
Speaker 1: unique because it's made this way and only this year,
Speaker 1: Like that feels a little bit more like history. You know.
Speaker 1: I showed this Fendi bag that was a collaboration with
Speaker 1: Fendi and Tiffany, and I think that's interesting because that's
Speaker 1: a business story too. It's a co branding collab story.
Speaker 1: So did Tiffany initiate it? Did Fendi initiate it? Somebody
Speaker 1: watching what I was saying um pointed at that they're
Speaker 1: owned by the same company. I guess they are. They
Speaker 1: owned by LVMH. I don't know, but then that makes
Speaker 1: some sense. So that's why it's a collaboration. It's at least,
Speaker 1: you know, showing something nice that has some sort of
Speaker 1: a backstory versus just being an asshole that's saying this
Speaker 1: is like what I got. So I posted some pictures
Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day which were just like, you know, just
Speaker 1: me and Paul, just like living a life. I am happy,
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, I didn't have the best day,
Speaker 1: and also was aware that in the world there are
Speaker 1: like shootings and bad natural disasters and things going on.
Speaker 1: So it's like just to be like, this is the gorgeous, rich,
Speaker 1: expensive thing that I got on this day. A. It's flexing. B.
Speaker 1: I wasn't having that grid of a day, because no
Speaker 1: gorgeous thing could make me have a good day if
Speaker 1: I'm just like having a feeling about my medical a
Speaker 1: medical situation or a parenting situation or whatever. So I
Speaker 1: just feel like social media could be so such a vacuum.
Speaker 1: And I was not in the best of spirits on
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. And while I'm in an amazing, healthy relationship
Speaker 1: with a beautiful human being, I didn't feel that that day,
Speaker 1: not because Paul did anything, because I was just in
Speaker 1: a fucking mood all day. And then I just leaned
Speaker 1: into just honestly and said let me do the Valentine
Speaker 1: picture and shovel and what I god or am or
Speaker 1: all the heart shaped fucking moments and pink sweaters I have.
Speaker 1: You know, I said, if you're alone or you're having
Speaker 1: a ship day or whatever, you are loved, you are
Speaker 1: not alone like you feel alone, you feel single. But
Speaker 1: it's like a Hallmark holiday, and we can't all muster
Speaker 1: it up to do what we're supposed to or feel great,
Speaker 1: whether in or out of a relationship, on a hallmark holiday.
Speaker 1: And I think it's important with all these holidays social media,
Speaker 1: National fucking Pancake Day and National Don't be an Asshole Day,
Speaker 1: and every day is a goddamn day. It's teacher day,
Speaker 1: daughter day, dog day, puppy day, cookie day, chocolate chip day,
Speaker 1: you know, lint on my sweater day. It's just endless days.
Speaker 1: So we have to be representing whatever that day is
Speaker 1: supposed to mean, you know. And I just don't think
Speaker 1: we should put so much pressure on ourselves. Some days
Speaker 1: you're just in a bad mood when I talk about
Speaker 1: something and it doesn't air that day on this podcast,
Speaker 1: it's because we're producing the podcast and we have certain
Speaker 1: days that things air, so it may seem like it's
Speaker 1: a little out of date, but it doesn't matter. I'm
Speaker 1: not like a news reporter of like you know, this
Speaker 1: broke this morning, like you know, fucking bunker was was
Speaker 1: attacked in a in a country. It's basically just talking
Speaker 1: about a dynamic anyway. So if I talk about Ben
Speaker 1: and Jen at the Grammys four days later, I'm talking
Speaker 1: about a dynamic. So I'm talking about Ben and Jen
Speaker 1: sitting and how you can't judge a couple by a
Speaker 1: moment at an event that neither of them may even
Speaker 1: want to be that night, or what if Jennifer was
Speaker 1: in a bad mood, or you know, they love each other,
Speaker 1: they hate each other. They just found out Mark Anthony
Speaker 1: had a baby, Like who knows so much going on?
Speaker 1: So the super Bowl, it's so funny the different ways
Speaker 1: that people watch the same thing. It's like a roor shack.
Speaker 1: So I started watching Rihanna and it was like she
Speaker 1: seems sort of like put up, not put upon, but
Speaker 1: like this really relaxed, like all right, I'm here, I'm chill,
Speaker 1: and you know that could be her vibe. And there
Speaker 1: are men who go up there in a T shirt
Speaker 1: and jeans that just seem really relaxed because they're really cool.
Speaker 1: Uh and that could be their vibe and she Rihanna
Speaker 1: has a cooler than vibe. So being pregnant to I mean,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go, but she they don't get paid. I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I'm making so much money, they don't
Speaker 1: get paid and it costs so much money, so they
Speaker 1: don't get paid. And I guess the spot is just
Speaker 1: seven million dollars right to have at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Imagine the production value, and I think they have to
Speaker 1: pay for that, Like who's paying for all that? Well?
Speaker 1: Guess what? So anyway, Rihanna performed and I enjoyed the performance,
Speaker 1: and I enjoy Rihanna. I don't know if like that
Speaker 1: outlandish electric performance is her number one skill set because
Speaker 1: when I saw her, it was around the same time
Speaker 1: as I saw Pink at the Barkley Center, and it
Speaker 1: was a different Pink was like so her guts were
Speaker 1: on the stage, like she left it all on the court,
Speaker 1: and Rihanna is not like that. But that's also a
Speaker 1: different style. And Rihanna's music is amazing. And I enjoyed
Speaker 1: the performance, which is is great and it's been so viral,
Speaker 1: but The thing that people don't understand is there's a
Speaker 1: world where Rihanna did not want to perform with the
Speaker 1: super Bowl. She's pregnant, she doesn't want to deal with it.
Speaker 1: But Rihanna is like, listen, fenty is going to perform
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl. So I'll go up there and
Speaker 1: be the Rihanna that you need me to be, and
Speaker 1: I'll go up there and perform, but I'm going to
Speaker 1: touch my face up with the fenty Compact. Oh and
Speaker 1: super Bowl you're going to fly, or fenty is going
Speaker 1: to fly, but super Bowl you're gonna get amazing tickets,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have experiences around the super Bowl for
Speaker 1: all of my influencers that have fifteen twenty million Instagram
Speaker 1: followers and who are going to go viral because they're
Speaker 1: all going to go into a room draped with fenty
Speaker 1: makeup and fenty everything and they're going to do videos.
Speaker 1: And they are young, so they don't realize how much
Speaker 1: money they would actually be paid to do something like this.
Speaker 1: But they don't need to be paid because they're twenty
Speaker 1: two years old. So they're twenty two to twenty four
Speaker 1: years old, and we're going to give them tickets to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and they get to see Rihanna at
Speaker 1: four years old, so sure they'll post videos. They don't
Speaker 1: give a ship. They get to get they get to flex,
Speaker 1: and they get to get other brandy us. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna bring them here, and those other people are gonna
Speaker 1: pay them when they do those branded sponsored posts. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna get hundreds of millions of dollars coming into
Speaker 1: this brand in an infotainment way because we somebody on
Speaker 1: our team, or somebody at Harvard, or somebody knows or
Speaker 1: Bethany Frankel knows that years ago when Michael Phelps was
Speaker 1: that the Olympics by the swimming pool wearing Beats headphones,
Speaker 1: which caught onto something before anybody else did because people
Speaker 1: can't wear branded clothing, and years ago at the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: jockeys and horses couldn't wear branded silks. But now Michael
Speaker 1: Phelps was at the Olympics and did hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars of free press for Beats, so we can
Speaker 1: find other ways into this thing. I'm going to perform
Speaker 1: with the Super Bowl for quote unquote free but fenty,
Speaker 1: which is where I really made my real money, and
Speaker 1: I think that's savage by fancy, that's I've made my
Speaker 1: real money. But this makeup thing is where I'm really
Speaker 1: That's where the bees, the billions, the bees, not m's
Speaker 1: are coming from. Sure, I'm going to do the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and if I'm a little casual, it doesn't really fucking
Speaker 1: matter because I don't make my music to make money anymore.
Speaker 1: My music is not the money maker, the dollar bill,
Speaker 1: dollar bills and throw it up, throw it up. Fenty
Speaker 1: makeup is throwing it up, not the music, So it
Speaker 1: doesn't really fucking matter. And not every musician has that
Speaker 1: kind of platform because j Lo just isn't going to
Speaker 1: have a world where influencers are coming to put some
Speaker 1: brown shimmered body glow on. It's just not the world
Speaker 1: that Rihanna created. So Rihanna created fenty and was tied
Speaker 1: up and Goga has performed at the super Bowl, and
Speaker 1: believe me, from Gaga to Selena Gomez to whoever, this
Speaker 1: is gonna become another thing where the super Bowl is
Speaker 1: this vehicle to use to promote the other ship. And
Speaker 1: that's what that's why the makeup ship has become massive.
Speaker 1: But not everybody can succeed at it more. Fae is
Speaker 1: a massive brand went out of business. Jacqueline Hills an
Speaker 1: amazing makeup artist I've found and has a good line
Speaker 1: that filed I guess chapter eleven or bankruptcy. And Addison
Speaker 1: Ray had a brand called Item and Sephora and it's
Speaker 1: no longer. And I think Scarlett Johansson has outset and
Speaker 1: I saw it and it's just fine, and now men
Speaker 1: are getting into it. I think like Pharrell hasn't make
Speaker 1: a beauty line or a skin Caroline and Brad Pitt weird,
Speaker 1: and god knows who else, but it's all awkward and weird,
Speaker 1: and just like celebrity liquor brands, which I started particularly
Speaker 1: for women. Dude, he was before me, Acaroid but was
Speaker 1: before me. Sammy Hagar was before me. Uh and Danny
Speaker 1: DeVito was before me. And that's pretty much about it.
Speaker 1: And after me, everybody came in. And then that is
Speaker 1: a flood too that will be stopped. So celebrity beauty
Speaker 1: brands will there'll be a stop. It's about to stop,
Speaker 1: like everybody who got in got in, and it will
Speaker 1: soon become crypto. It's just watch it's too much. And
Speaker 1: I have tried some fenty products it's totally totally fine.
Speaker 1: Some things are good, but you're watching these people sell
Speaker 1: and do these commercials and it's a very like glimmery,
Speaker 1: fun glitzy brand, which is so fun and exciting. Um
Speaker 1: Selena Gomez has a nice brand too, but drugstore will
Speaker 1: get you there. Uh. And I love I love Rihanna.
Speaker 1: I think she's very talented. She was doing and also
Speaker 1: there's so much bullshit and beauty. Rihanna was recently doing
Speaker 1: a video about wipes and as she used to use wipes,
Speaker 1: but like, we really have to help take care of
Speaker 1: the planet. Okay, fenty has so much plastic stuff coming
Speaker 1: out every single day and the little foam sponges that
Speaker 1: everybody just pretty much uses and then throws away, like,
Speaker 1: which is fine, all the beauty brands have it, but
Speaker 1: we can't start saying that we're going to take care
Speaker 1: of the planet when we have a brand that you
Speaker 1: just use it and throw it away. I don't think
Speaker 1: it has those pop out, refill recyclable like beauty brand
Speaker 1: things like you just pop the blush out and then
Speaker 1: you buy a little insert and put it back in.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Um, So that's a rant for sure.
Speaker 1: About the super Bowl and beauty and that the super
Speaker 1: Bowl was a massive Fenty commercial. So Fenty won the
Speaker 1: super Bowl because Fenty made more money than any of
Speaker 1: the players that won the super Bowl, and more money
Speaker 1: than Rihanna on music
