Speaker 1: Teen sports. I was having a business dinner in Texas,
Speaker 1: and this is with some liquor guys, Like liquor guys
Speaker 1: that make a nice living. They're not billionaires, you know,
Speaker 1: they're sales guys and they make a nice living. I'm
Speaker 1: sure they have nice cards, but like they're not flying
Speaker 1: private you know, they're not billionaires. And I hesitated to
Speaker 1: say how much this sports program that Brinn is in
Speaker 1: cost because I thought that's like crazy and only rich
Speaker 1: people could do something like this. But I had sticker stock,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is insane, Like people pay
Speaker 1: this for their kids to do sports, you know, And
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you the number, and then I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you what these guys in Texas said. So
Speaker 1: I was they had said something, and then I felt
Speaker 1: like I could share my story, and I said, no,
Speaker 1: this team sports stuff is crazy. Last year was seventh grade,
Speaker 1: and I think that was the first time I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: sports are like real at seventh grade, Like people are
Speaker 1: like competitive and some people play and some people don't play,
Speaker 1: and like people have like records and win and don't win,
Speaker 1: and like it's serious. And then we're going to sports
Speaker 1: camps and then we're doing sports leagues outside of school,
Speaker 1: which adds to pressure because the practices are like six
Speaker 1: to nine on a school night, on two school nights
Speaker 1: and then a weekend, like the whole day is a
Speaker 1: practice and then they go travel and do tournaments and
Speaker 1: like on the day that they have the six to nine,
Speaker 1: what the fuck are they supposed to do? Between three
Speaker 1: and six, they like hang out at the school. Like
Speaker 1: it's like, so they get home at ten o'clock, sweaty
Speaker 1: and with you know, teen acne, and then they have
Speaker 1: to start doing homework, Like they can do the homework
Speaker 1: between three and six, but it's more distracting. I think
Speaker 1: after school, I don't then being at home. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so like it's a lot of pressure. And the kids
Speaker 1: that I know are all decent at sports, but like
Speaker 1: none of them are going to the Olympics. It's like
Speaker 1: it's not at that level. None of us are raising
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods. You know when he was five years old,
Speaker 1: you knew he was like a wonder kind or like
Speaker 1: David Beckham. So I am my kid in this volleyball
Speaker 1: program because she wanted to do it, and other friends
Speaker 1: are doing it and they're going and they're traveling And
Speaker 1: this price I'm about to tell you doesn't include the
Speaker 1: tickets to travel any of that stuff. This is just
Speaker 1: like to do this volleyball program two nights a week
Speaker 1: and on the weekends. Eight thousand dollars. And I think
Speaker 1: it was like eighty six hundred and eighty four hundred,
Speaker 1: like more than eight. I'm just trying to round down
Speaker 1: because I'm embarrassed I wrote that check. I was like what,
Speaker 1: Like what, what is that not the price of someone's
Speaker 1: private school? Like what? And I was sitting with these
Speaker 1: guys from Texas and they were like, oh no, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: They said, I have a friend who has a kid
Speaker 1: in a baseball program. It's thirteen thousand dollars. And these
Speaker 1: guys don't roll have got it like I do. Thirteen
Speaker 1: thousand dollars if this fucking kid is not you know,
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter. And there's a certain point where you know
Speaker 1: if your kid's like it or not, Like you have
Speaker 1: an idea, like I see some kids at my kid's
Speaker 1: school and I'm like, that person's an amazing athlete. It
Speaker 1: seems compared to the kids that person's playing with at
Speaker 1: this school. I don't know if or some sort of
Speaker 1: freak alien sports player, but like, what are these thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars? This guy said to me that there's a
Speaker 1: bet that was like titanium or something that one of
Speaker 1: the kids wanted or got, like three thousand dollars. I
Speaker 1: was like, what for? Like a kid? A kid's beat Like,
Speaker 1: it's not like Alex Rodriguez his bat or his kid.
Speaker 1: That's just like a regular kid. Like how how do
Speaker 1: people afford anything? I find it to be like I
Speaker 1: would think, like I'm doing this program. I would honestly
Speaker 1: if you said to me brings enrolling in a volleyball
Speaker 1: program for a couple of months, how much would you
Speaker 1: think that would be? I would think it's a ball
Speaker 1: and a net somewhere, and I would think eight hundred
Speaker 1: dollars plus like a uniform and like snacks, Like that's
Speaker 1: what I would really think. I saw eight thousand. I
Speaker 1: was like, what in the fuck where's that money going?
Speaker 1: Like what are they spending? What's eight thousand dollars not
Speaker 1: including travel? Is it a scam? Like what's going on?
Speaker 1: Where's the Someone tell me is this what's going on?
Speaker 1: I want to understand the sports thing, because you gotta
Speaker 1: do it. The other kids doing it, they want to
Speaker 1: do it. It's competitive. I love kids sports. I think
Speaker 1: it's great we're doing it in school. Wonderful. I just thought,
Speaker 1: what is going on? Like I'd like Gabrielle Reese, who
Speaker 1: I had on this podcast, to like, come over and
Speaker 1: tell me if this kid has got it, because we're
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars. I mean, I'll buy you a goddamn
Speaker 1: Cardier Love bracelet. What the hell? I would not buy
Speaker 1: a Cardia Love bracelet for my child, nor would I
Speaker 1: think that would be a good use of the eight
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I'm just saying, like, let's put it. Let's
Speaker 1: start all the money on this stuff that's not going
Speaker 1: to be something you're doing in your adult life. Let's
Speaker 1: put it in an account. You can buy your own
Speaker 1: one bedroom apartment when you're twenty three. Eight thousand dollars. WHOA.
Speaker 1: I talked about this recently and talking about The Apprentice,
Speaker 1: but I think I want to go into it more.
Speaker 1: It's about what you do once you get in the door.
Speaker 1: And it was kind of in the reverse concept for
Speaker 1: The Apprentice because I was saying I came in second,
Speaker 1: nobody cares who came in second. But no matter how
Speaker 1: it happens, if you come in first, you just what
Speaker 1: when you get in that door, what do you do?
Speaker 1: So I say that because I got the MTV Lifetime
Speaker 1: Achievement Award, and I think it was really supposed to
Speaker 1: be Andy's award, and I didn't care. I wore my dress,
Speaker 1: I gave my speech. I was excited to be there.
Speaker 1: And Andy Cohen got a star on the Walk of
Speaker 1: Fame and like they say, it was purchased. Okay, who cares.
Speaker 1: Go get your star. Enjoy your life, take a picture
Speaker 1: and keep it moving, be excited, take the press day,
Speaker 1: live a life. And then tonight I was at a
Speaker 1: Carnegie Hall, sold out house in front of six thousand
Speaker 1: people for this NPR show that gets six million listeners,
Speaker 1: and I was an A plus plus list persons understudy.
Speaker 1: They canceled and they came to my publicist and I
Speaker 1: did it and I was like, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: give a shit. Yay, I'm here, I'm at Carnegie Hall.
Speaker 1: It's to sold that house. Let me make it what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make it. So I just there's this concept
Speaker 1: of people having the Emperor has no clothes or it's
Speaker 1: not real or I heard people criticizing thirty under thirty
Speaker 1: people who that you have to pay to be on
Speaker 1: the Forbes list, Like who actually does any who cares?
Speaker 1: You're there? You're there, Go in there and prove yourself.
Speaker 1: It does not matter. My speech was great at my
Speaker 1: Lifetime Achievement Award, my appearance was amazing at Carnegie Hall.
Speaker 1: That's all that matters. So I just think that's a
Speaker 1: concept overall. It's like, get yourself in that door. Life
Speaker 1: is hard enough. Figure out a way to get yourself
Speaker 1: in that door. I posted a bagel the other day
Speaker 1: with whipped cottage cheese and salmon row. You would have
Speaker 1: thought that I abducted someone's child. Okay, I got hate
Speaker 1: comments just about me, ugly ogre grim reaper. People are
Speaker 1: fucking sick, and I don't mind. I sort of is
Speaker 1: it weird that I like tingle a little? I go
Speaker 1: when people are hating, I'm like, ah, I'm doing something right,
Speaker 1: Like I'm fucking pissing people off and triggering them. I
Speaker 1: get a little like, Okay, we see each other. And
Speaker 1: I mean the comments were insane, like insane. The video
Speaker 1: is so viral and every time I do something and
Speaker 1: people get crazy. It rates, so your mind is like blown,
Speaker 1: like you're eating seafood in a hotel room. People are
Speaker 1: going crazy about it, but they they're hate watching. They
Speaker 1: can't help but watch. Well, okay, I'll take the views,
Speaker 1: I'll take it. So it's triggering them. But I did
Speaker 1: a video about the fact that for people who don't
Speaker 1: have thick skin like this, it would make me really
Speaker 1: sad thinking about them reading these comments. And you can't
Speaker 1: believe the love and you can't believe the hate. You
Speaker 1: have to just be in the middle and realize who's
Speaker 1: sending it and that it says more about them than you.
Speaker 1: It's like a little kid hitting a girl at school
Speaker 1: and her wondering why because they and it's just driving
Speaker 1: them nuts. And I think like success is the best revenge.
Speaker 1: So people are really hating you. I mean, I have
Speaker 1: hate pages against me. What does that tell me I'm
Speaker 1: doing something right? Like people sit around and do posts
Speaker 1: and have like lives and just to hate me. And
Speaker 1: you know what hate cells Now, it's really sad, like
Speaker 1: hate cells because you're shocked. I thought on TikTok I
Speaker 1: was being canceled at one point and I was being
Speaker 1: renewed because people are talking about you. So it's like
Speaker 1: the upside down. It's very very strange. Drew Barrymore had
Speaker 1: Oprah on her show and they were entangled, they were embraced,
Speaker 1: and I didn't couldn't remember who the first time I
Speaker 1: saw this happened with with Drew, but she had Dolly
Speaker 1: Parton on and it was like her legs were up
Speaker 1: on the couch and like grabbing and touching and embracing Dolly,
Speaker 1: and I was a little uncomfortable. You know, Drew, I've
Speaker 1: I mean, I know Drew. I've met Drew, I've done
Speaker 1: her show. I was not on the PDA program. She
Speaker 1: did not do the interpersonal, you know, touchy Philly program
Speaker 1: with me, and I was thinking a lot. I was thinking.
Speaker 1: My inside voice was saying, if Drew is embracing me
Speaker 1: even in the most emotional thing, like really tight, And
Speaker 1: the only request I have is that SNL do a
Speaker 1: skit on this. I need like what happens, Like first
Speaker 1: you have to Dolly on and we're like criscross apple
Speaker 1: sauce and embracing, and then we have Oprah on and
Speaker 1: we're like, you know, like arm wrestling, like you know
Speaker 1: that that yoga pose where like you're intertwining your arms
Speaker 1: and like we're like so deep in conversation that my
Speaker 1: eyeballs are like glued to yours. I'm not that girl.
Speaker 1: I'm not that like touchy peely bitch. I just need
Speaker 1: a little personal space, particularly at work, particularly in interviews,
Speaker 1: particularly anywhere, airplane, store, elevator, you name it. Like, I
Speaker 1: need a little personal space. And I'm not a close
Speaker 1: to and I'm not interested in a close soccer people
Speaker 1: are always like grabbing and touching. So I found that
Speaker 1: really interesting, and it's a style that's unique to Drew.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if Oprah and Soide was like, well, okay,
Speaker 1: we're like you're gonna fuck now.
