Speaker 1: Let's talk about Douchella. Okay, So there are these events
Speaker 1: that come and certain people self involved people. I think
Speaker 1: that it's the only thing going on in the world. Now,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Coachella is probably wonderful. I've
Speaker 1: been to I went to Lallapalooza years ago and I
Speaker 1: had v I P tickets and I saw good bands
Speaker 1: and I had a great time. And so I'm sure
Speaker 1: Coachella is amazing. The music that the origin of what
Speaker 1: it is and what it's supposed to be. Uh, Sun
Speaker 1: Dance when it started it was really amazing. It was
Speaker 1: a film festival. It became you know, douche Dance years
Speaker 1: later when it was just a hawking product festival and
Speaker 1: people didn't even realize that there were movies there. So
Speaker 1: things just do devolved, which we'll get into in a second. Um,
Speaker 1: it's fashion week, it's fashally, it's not the thing. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the fashion is amazing. I'm as you know, Anna Wintour
Speaker 1: pointed out in the devilwas product or the Meryl Streep character. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it has everything to do with me, even
Speaker 1: if I bought it at t J Max. As it
Speaker 1: turns out, my pants were cheapos, twenty dollar cheapos and
Speaker 1: my sweaters Isabel Marant. So I've got a high lo
Speaker 1: vibe going on today and it all has to do
Speaker 1: with us. And we all do appreciate fashion because we
Speaker 1: buy clothes. So fashion week is great and it's a
Speaker 1: place for artists slash designers to showcase their wares. But
Speaker 1: it becomes douche when the like people that it has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with are there and do it fashion week.
Speaker 1: They're so busy, it's it's not I mean, I know
Speaker 1: Fernando Garcia, he works some he runs, he's the head
Speaker 1: designer at oscar To Lorenta. He doesn't like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, he might say it's fashion week, but
Speaker 1: it's actually fashion week for him. Like when he says that,
Speaker 1: I'm not like oh god, I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: He's literally really busy. Uh. But when people who it
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with, well, I mean, of course
Speaker 1: I'm so busy. It's fashion week. You mean, for all
Speaker 1: the events that you're electing to go to, even though
Speaker 1: you're not in the fashion business, just because you want
Speaker 1: to be, like, make fashion week the most important thing
Speaker 1: to you. What's the thing our Bossile. Well it's Bossle. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's you know the Douche. The Douche Art Festival in Miami,
Speaker 1: which by the way, is not where people that are
Speaker 1: real art collectors now go to find things. It's a
Speaker 1: good schmooze fest for them. But evidently these billionaires that
Speaker 1: have major art collections know what everything already is before
Speaker 1: they go there. But listen, it's amazing for people mere mortals.
Speaker 1: I've been once to go walk through and see what's
Speaker 1: going on. But these things become these other things, and
Speaker 1: it's like a self involved vibe where everybody's just saying like, well,
Speaker 1: it's bussle, it's music, it's it becomes this sort of
Speaker 1: narcissistic thing that everybody else is listening to as if
Speaker 1: it's the only thing going on. So no, I'm not
Speaker 1: jealous because I can go to our bozz or you know,
Speaker 1: super Bowl or anything. In fact, my fiance's very close
Speaker 1: friends are in the sports team business, and we get
Speaker 1: invited to all these different things when they're in the
Speaker 1: you know, the final of that sport. Okay, whatever that
Speaker 1: sport is. I know owners of many teams. We choose
Speaker 1: to stay home and eat you know, wings and hang
Speaker 1: out with my daughter e pizza. We don't choose to
Speaker 1: go um because we feel like it's posy and we'd
Speaker 1: rather just support from a distance in many cases. So
Speaker 1: UM not to say that I'll never show up at
Speaker 1: a major sporting event in my life, although I did
Speaker 1: go to Super Bowl with my ex who is a
Speaker 1: big time photographer, and we would be on the field,
Speaker 1: and I didn't go. I stayed. We were in Miami
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl and it was I think it
Speaker 1: was the year that Reggie Bush was in with the
Speaker 1: Saints um and they won, and I was in the
Speaker 1: nearby hotel because I was like, that's so crazy. I
Speaker 1: don't want to go too hectics, so I don't go
Speaker 1: to a lot of things. So I'm doing all that.
Speaker 1: I've devolved this conversation to talk about Revolve Fest, which
Speaker 1: I thought was Coachell. I thought that it was like
Speaker 1: a sponsored part of Coachella. So maybe it's some like
Speaker 1: satellite event that Revolved puts on at the same time
Speaker 1: as Coachella is going on to sort of maximize that
Speaker 1: area of the world that everybody's going to. So there's
Speaker 1: all this stuff going on in social media about Revolve
Speaker 1: festival being like the fire Fest, which it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like it is, because first of all, model influencers would
Speaker 1: be thrilled with a piece of bread and cheese sandwich
Speaker 1: because it's something they're not going to eat anyway. So
Speaker 1: I don't think that the piece of bread and cheese
Speaker 1: would be a problem for them. Okay, Firefest it was
Speaker 1: a problem, So I think that that's a disparity. And
Speaker 1: also they weren't stranded on an island. It revolved for
Speaker 1: those of you who don't know, it's all these influencers
Speaker 1: that when and apparently we're feeling like they weren't treated
Speaker 1: right because people don't know who they are because they
Speaker 1: have millions of followers, which translates to them being sort
Speaker 1: of TikTok or Instagram famous, really TikTok famous. But that's
Speaker 1: this pocket that maybe not everybody else knows. So someone
Speaker 1: may have ten times the followers of j Lo on TikTok,
Speaker 1: but when there's a security guy at a music festival,
Speaker 1: he doesn't he knows who j Loo is, but he
Speaker 1: doesn't know who you know. Morty Schmeckelman, the the the
Speaker 1: aficionado on all bagel toppings in the world, he doesn't
Speaker 1: know who that fucking guy is. Who's you know, wearing
Speaker 1: floral curated dresses from stylists and their fit check and
Speaker 1: being snatched for fucking Revolve Fest. So there's a disparity
Speaker 1: in the fame and the treatment of and so I
Speaker 1: posted about the plight of the underprivileged influencer who's just
Speaker 1: not getting what they need. And it's a charity that's important,
Speaker 1: it's an effort that needs to be discussed. And the
Speaker 1: underprivileged influencer is a person too, And I posted about
Speaker 1: these people that are saying that like they would treat
Speaker 1: did poorly. It was terrible that, you know, earlier that day.
Speaker 1: I mean you saw on your feed every day like
Speaker 1: this is the fit check, and some of the girls
Speaker 1: were cute I liked. I mean not every person who's
Speaker 1: dressing in like flower little Borettes is not as an asshole.
Speaker 1: Obviously I like watching a lot of them, But it's
Speaker 1: the people that are taking it so seriously in every
Speaker 1: inch of the fashion and well the eyelashes of Balenciaga,
Speaker 1: my boobs are dr Diamond, my shoe like, okay, we're
Speaker 1: with the fit check. We're fucking good. We got it.
Speaker 1: You look cute, you got like Coachella chic. We got it,
Speaker 1: but like the whole thing, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: My vagina was the jazzled by the Jazzler of Beverly
Speaker 1: Hills were like, Okay, we get it. Your vagina will
Speaker 1: be seen, and we know it's important, but we're we're
Speaker 1: to be so fucking invested in this ship. So these
Speaker 1: people are so on another planet and so obsessed with
Speaker 1: themselves that it's crazy. And I guess other people are
Speaker 1: calling it out, and I just thought it was funny
Speaker 1: that people were saying that, you know, they weren't treated
Speaker 1: right and it was a ship show. But then they
Speaker 1: transitioned you uh or back day four. I don't know
Speaker 1: how long it goes, but they're going back for the
Speaker 1: next snatched fit. Check your you know you're snatch will
Speaker 1: be checked. Okay, your snatch will be in check by
Speaker 1: the time you go out to this fucking thing. Your
Speaker 1: snatches fit to go to Coachella, to Revolve Fest to
Speaker 1: whatever this whole ship show is. So anyway, that got
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't get a lot of flak everybody
Speaker 1: who A lot of people really liked what I said,
Speaker 1: but some of the influencers I think. Um, of course
Speaker 1: I had an opinion on Ducella and devolved fest and
Speaker 1: of course I feel terrible for the underprivileged influencer hashtag
Speaker 1: underprivileged influencer. Creator. People are creators and people are influencers.
Speaker 1: So some people are just creating. But does that mean
Speaker 1: they're not influencing anyone? If you're influencing, it means you're
Speaker 1: moving product. I guess you're fucking moving product. But if
Speaker 1: you're creating, maybe you're moving you're moving content. But I
Speaker 1: think in order to be an influencer, you have to
Speaker 1: be creating. And then the problem is I have more
Speaker 1: followers on TikTok than many of the influencers. But I'm
Speaker 1: not an influencer. What am I? I'm not a creator
Speaker 1: or an influencer. I'm just a ranter. I'm just a
Speaker 1: TikTok ranter. Uh. And so some of the people in
Speaker 1: the comments in my comments, you're not supporting women. I'd
Speaker 1: like to have a discussion about supporting women. Okay, First
Speaker 1: of all, can't we say supporting people like now, just
Speaker 1: because I have a vagina and breasts and was born
Speaker 1: a woman, I have to support and like every other
Speaker 1: fucking person with a vagina and breasts that was born
Speaker 1: a woman. I don't support women. Why because I think
Speaker 1: some people are fucking morons, Like I don't support some
Speaker 1: men neither. There are women I don't support. There are
Speaker 1: men I don't support. There are women, children, dog cats
Speaker 1: that I do support. I don't support all anything because
Speaker 1: I'm not a fucking weirdo robot you don't support. Shut
Speaker 1: the funk up with everybody who saying you don't support
Speaker 1: women to anybody anyway. Somebody doesn't like a girl doesn't
Speaker 1: like with enough. A girl's wearing a dress with her
Speaker 1: vagina showing and her tampon string is longer than her dress.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to support that. I have a fucking eleven
Speaker 1: year old daughter. I don't support that woman. I'm allowed
Speaker 1: to not support that woman. A girl is a trash
Speaker 1: can who fucking sleeps with her best friend's boyfriend. I
Speaker 1: don't support that woman. A girl lays on her back
Speaker 1: and is a goddamn gold digger who is superficial and
Speaker 1: hasn't contributed or made use of her life in any
Speaker 1: particular charitable way or anything that adds to the universe,
Speaker 1: and it's just withdrawing on the a T M of life.
Speaker 1: I don't support that woman. A man who's a nice man,
Speaker 1: who's a good person, I support that man. A man
Speaker 1: who fucking grabbed the ass of his assistant in an office.
Speaker 1: I don't support that man. Okay, So let's fucking stop
Speaker 1: with the black and the white of supporting women. There
Speaker 1: are many women I support, and just by the sheer
Speaker 1: nature of what I've accomplished and and what I've done
Speaker 1: uh speaking to women and trying to empower women, and
Speaker 1: the and the groundworks that I've laid in many male industries,
Speaker 1: I support women. I just don't support all women. And
Speaker 1: there are many women that I don't support, So cancel me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't have to support every woman, Okay. Not every
Speaker 1: woman is great, not all women are created equal. Some
Speaker 1: women are pieces of shit and other women are good people.
Speaker 1: So therefore I don't support the pieces of shit. If
Speaker 1: that's not gonna be okay, change the channel. Okay. But
Speaker 1: if you care what I think at all, and you
Speaker 1: probably don't, I'm giving you license to not support assholes.
Speaker 1: Douche baggery is not supported unless for the purpose of humor. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I watched the Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix,
Speaker 1: and Sienna Miller, who I think is beautiful, is in it.
Speaker 1: It's interesting about Sienna Miller. Sometimes I confuse her with
Speaker 1: the woman who was married to to to Do. She
Speaker 1: was married to ju La, the woman who was married
Speaker 1: to Ray Donovan. Um, who's Ray Donovan. Let's start with that.
Speaker 1: My assistant just said, it's a TV show character. I'm
Speaker 1: well aware of that. Thank you, Annie, my sarcastic assistant.
Speaker 1: We know it's a Mickey mouse isn't is not an
Speaker 1: actual mouse, It's a it's a it's an animated character.
Speaker 1: Thanks Annie for that commentary and shade at this time.
Speaker 1: Naomi Wats okay. So Naomi Wats is a really pretty
Speaker 1: blonde woman, natural, and I get her confused with Sienna
Speaker 1: Miller because there's that type of blonde that's like really
Speaker 1: sort of pretty and natural. Probably compete for the same rules,
Speaker 1: but I don't like remember exactly what they look like.
Speaker 1: So Sienna Miller, every time I see her, I'm like,
Speaker 1: she's so pretty, but I couldn't pick her out. If
Speaker 1: she was at my supermarket, I would not know that
Speaker 1: it was Sienna Miller. I would just think it was
Speaker 1: a pretty natural blonde woman. So what's interesting about Sienna
Speaker 1: Miller is that in watching her in Anatomy of a Scandal,
Speaker 1: which we can get into separately, Um, she's obviously had
Speaker 1: plastic surgery because she looks different, but she still looks
Speaker 1: so pretty. Like that's the plastic surgery I would like
Speaker 1: to have when I have plastic surgery. Like some people
Speaker 1: look too like very good, but it's like too good.
Speaker 1: They look good and you can't see anything, but they
Speaker 1: look older. And Sienna Miller probably still looks the same
Speaker 1: age that she probably like is, but she's had something
Speaker 1: done and she looks different, but like not like Jennifer
Speaker 1: Gray when she had plastic surgery. Different now when you're
Speaker 1: like whoa Naomi, Now, I mean, what the hell is
Speaker 1: wrong with me today? Kidman Nicole Kidman where it's like
Speaker 1: jarring like or or or uh meg Ryan, where it's
Speaker 1: the shocking, like this is a good this is plastic
Speaker 1: surgery that I can get behind, because she looks like
Speaker 1: she's had a plastic surgery, but like not freak zoid,
Speaker 1: just a little different and she still looks pretty. So
Speaker 1: when I do plastic surgery, I'd like to go to
Speaker 1: whoever Seana Miller's person was, because it's like some trickery.
Speaker 1: It's just like still pretty, but like a little off,
Speaker 1: but like you're not gonna look the same, just like
Speaker 1: people will say, wow, the way you're aging, I hate
Speaker 1: to I'm sorry to report I'm not actually Benjamin Button.
Speaker 1: I am aging. So have you've been watching me on
Speaker 1: television since I'm thirty seven, It's gonna be a little frightening.
Speaker 1: It's just the way it is because, particularly because I
Speaker 1: post without make a bud and also on TikTok, I
Speaker 1: didn't know everybody's using a filter? Am I using a filter?
Speaker 1: I'm just talking like a normal person. I'm like that
Speaker 1: person that's still that's like Fred Flintstone with my legs
Speaker 1: as the tires of the car, not realizing that everybody
Speaker 1: else is like has the wheels because everyone's like, you
Speaker 1: dumb bitch, we're filtering all of this. And you know
Speaker 1: we talked about this before, but I mean, I'll go
Speaker 1: down as the last one. But guess why you see
Speaker 1: me in a restaurant, You're gonna know what I fucking
Speaker 1: look like because I've seen these people and they don't
Speaker 1: even look like their goddamn neighbor. You want to see
Speaker 1: somebody on Instagram or TikTok and then see them in
Speaker 1: real life, you'll be shocked. I'm saying it again because
Speaker 1: I've been talking about beauty and what's a scam and
Speaker 1: what's not, and I need you to know it's okay
Speaker 1: to look natural. I just need you to know it's
Speaker 1: okay to just do makeup for what it was originally
Speaker 1: intended to do, which is just accentuate and and hide
Speaker 1: some of your flaws. You don't need to look like
Speaker 1: a rainbow i eyelid, circus clown to just go out
Speaker 1: every day. You don't need to contour your face. If
Speaker 1: you don't need to contour your face. You don't need
Speaker 1: to contour your face like if your face if you
Speaker 1: have a clown knows, okay contour. I guess maybe you
Speaker 1: don't want to clown knows if you have jowls that
Speaker 1: are like a fucking rott Wiler, figure out a way
Speaker 1: to contour. But everything doesn't need to be tricked out.
Speaker 1: Everybody's face does not need to have brown lines in
Speaker 1: every direction like a goddamn road map of the United
Speaker 1: States to contour because we all think Oh, this is
Speaker 1: the contour step. I gotta contour. Everybody doesn't need to contour.
Speaker 1: Everyone didn't need to highlight if you have a fehead
Speaker 1: besides of Pittsburgh, you don't need to highlight certain portions
Speaker 1: of that. And I know that's where the contour comes in.
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm just saying, it's just like, it's okay,
Speaker 1: we need to I need to contour. A contour vention.
Speaker 1: There needs to be a contour vention. Everybody doesn't need
Speaker 1: to contour their whole life. It's again back to the filtering.
Speaker 1: We're contouring and we're contouring too much. Too much contouring
Speaker 1: going on, but not everybody needs to contour themselves within
Speaker 1: an inch of the are like, it's okay to look
Speaker 1: like what we look like? Is it not okay to
Speaker 1: look like what we look like? Divorce kids work the program.
Speaker 1: I was just talking to someone about this. Oh, someone
Speaker 1: who works in my house was saying that their family,
Speaker 1: they have a family member and that's going through divorce
Speaker 1: and the kid's just has an attitude now and it's
Speaker 1: a little spoiled because they work that system. You can't
Speaker 1: fall prey to the divorce kid that works the system. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's the system. Parents are separated, they're getting divorce. And
Speaker 1: I know very people, very close to my life who've
Speaker 1: who've who've dealt with this exact thing and handled it wrong.
Speaker 1: And I don't know. There's no perfect parent, there's no
Speaker 1: perfect kid. But this is black and white. You're separated,
Speaker 1: you feel guilty, You're worried the kid's going to prefer
Speaker 1: the other parent. A B. You're worried just because of
Speaker 1: the trauma and the stress. And you want to throw
Speaker 1: money at the problem, or candy at the problem, or
Speaker 1: TV and games at the problem, or toys at the problem,
Speaker 1: or indulgence is in some regard and devices at the problem.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. It's a bad fucking plan. You create
Speaker 1: a monster. Okay, you create a monster kids going through
Speaker 1: the problems of a divorce or going to go through
Speaker 1: the problems of a divorce. More indulgence is not going
Speaker 1: to reduce that. It's not going to change it. It's
Speaker 1: just going to displace that. So it's just a very
Speaker 1: easy thing for people to do. In the meantime, just
Speaker 1: buy a lot of the dolls in the presence, etcetera.
Speaker 1: So they favor you. Guess what they won't favor you either,
Speaker 1: they won't respect you. I'll never forget my daughter when
Speaker 1: she went over to this kid's house and I said,
Speaker 1: who's the most favorite of your friend's moms? And I
Speaker 1: said who's the least favorite? And she said, x mom
Speaker 1: is the least favorite. And I said why and she
Speaker 1: said because she over indulges her kid for kids a
Speaker 1: tangent which just hands or whatever she wants. And I
Speaker 1: thought that was amazing because kids, and she was young.
Speaker 1: Then kids are aware of the whole program, and they
Speaker 1: don't respect parents that just are trying to buy their kids.
Speaker 1: They don't my daughter, I didn't my school to school,
Speaker 1: there's like a portally you have to go into to
Speaker 1: get the the report card and I didn't get it
Speaker 1: and I didn't know why it wasn't sent to me directly.
Speaker 1: And my daughter will be hurt not that, like I
Speaker 1: didn't buy her in a toys and candy that I
Speaker 1: didn't see the report card on time like that. That's
Speaker 1: that's how you know you're on the right path. But
Speaker 1: do not. These kids are working the system, they're working
Speaker 1: the program. Of course they're not going to control themselves.
Speaker 1: They're gonna take whatever they can get and they're gonna
Speaker 1: try to get it on both sides, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: say to you, I don't have this thing. They're gonna
Speaker 1: say to the other parents, I don't have that thing.
Speaker 1: To try to work it all out and get it
Speaker 1: all So just don't believe that hype and understand that
Speaker 1: you're being played. Getting COVID sucks, but I want you
Speaker 1: to know that you can turn it into a positive.
Speaker 1: And I know people say pivot and pivot, and we pivoted,
Speaker 1: but I mean even on the short term. I had
Speaker 1: COVID a couple of weeks ago, and I took it
Speaker 1: as an opportunity to really just go through everything and
Speaker 1: in my house, really cook a lot of recipes like
Speaker 1: people have been and that's obvious, but going through so
Speaker 1: many things, going through old photographs, going through expired sunscreen,
Speaker 1: going through beach towels, like, really, you can get your
Speaker 1: home tight and right. But more importantly business. I was
Speaker 1: home and I said to I used the time wisely
Speaker 1: and it took work on my part. I said to
Speaker 1: my assistant, now we're going to create these systems. Let's
Speaker 1: create all these systems for business systems, and you can
Speaker 1: you have your own systems you need. It could be
Speaker 1: literally for kids, activities, calendar, carpool, p t A. It
Speaker 1: could be for your own work. It could be for
Speaker 1: whatever you wanted to be. But for me, it was okay,
Speaker 1: when I go to a photo shoot, where's the list,
Speaker 1: a laminated sheet for everything that I need? Where's the checklist?
Speaker 1: If I'm traveling, where's the checklist? And you should do
Speaker 1: this for everything you need. Did you pack sunscreen? Did
Speaker 1: you pack a charge or did you pack your portable
Speaker 1: blow dry thing? Did you have your toiletries, did you
Speaker 1: pack fuzzy socks for the plane? Whatever it is you need.
Speaker 1: You can use this time any time that you're down,
Speaker 1: that you're sick, that you're depressed, whatever it is when
Speaker 1: you're home alone, to create these systems. My dogs, one
Speaker 1: of them needs medicine. So sometimes when the dogs traveling
Speaker 1: back and forth are going with someone else, or with Paul,
Speaker 1: or with a housekeeper or with the dog watcher, as
Speaker 1: a laminated sheet that just says this is how much
Speaker 1: medicine Smalls gets, you know, and it's together in a
Speaker 1: little zip bock bag. It's organized. The point is you
Speaker 1: can really take this time or any downtime to create
Speaker 1: systems that will if I said to my assistant, I'm
Speaker 1: teaching you how to fish, not just handing you the fish,
Speaker 1: meaning I also don't want to go every time I'm
Speaker 1: going away, do we pack this? And we packed that
Speaker 1: I wanted on a sheet? When is laundry done? When
Speaker 1: are windows done in your house? Is it twice a year?
Speaker 1: When do we have carpet steam? Do you do that
Speaker 1: once a year? When are you gonna, you know, shake
Speaker 1: out the rugs? It could be anything, but I'm big
Speaker 1: on these systems. Oh, let's go through all the expired
Speaker 1: food in the cabinet, or let's take all the food
Speaker 1: and put it into two containers and label them. Would
Speaker 1: be those organized people like you really can use this
Speaker 1: downtime to your advantage. So don't get stuck when something
Speaker 1: goes wrong. Let it propel you into something, into something good.
Speaker 1: I've had I've had COVID twice. The first time I
Speaker 1: had COVID was the worst experience of my life. I've
Speaker 1: had pneumonia in my life. I've had a hundred and
Speaker 1: five I've gone to the hospital aside from almost dying
Speaker 1: from anaplat going into anaphylactic shock. The first time I
Speaker 1: had COVID. It was a monster that gripped its hand
Speaker 1: and pulled your head under. Every time you thought you
Speaker 1: were getting a gasp of there, like the end of
Speaker 1: a horror film. It was a nightmare. The chills, the shivering,
Speaker 1: the teeth chatter and the teeth chipping, the excruciating headaches,
Speaker 1: the body pain, the dehydrat it was a nightmare. The
Speaker 1: second time I had COVID, I could function. I could function,
Speaker 1: I had been tripled backs, I could do all these things.
Speaker 1: I felt not. I kept saying I can't. I don't
Speaker 1: want to work. I'm not going anywhere. But I'm a five.
Speaker 1: Like at ten is you're dying, A zero is you're
Speaker 1: just prancing. I was a five. First time, it was
Speaker 1: a ten. Nichol was my only friend. It doesn't work
Speaker 1: every night. I had to because, like, after I use
Speaker 1: it a couple of nights, it won't work. So I
Speaker 1: had to just like rash in it and use it
Speaker 1: on some nights. Sleep was my only friend. I didn't
Speaker 1: get it every night. It was a fucking ship show.
Speaker 1: My heating blanket and sleep are my only friends. So
Speaker 1: I want to talk about natural food, being vegan, raw food,
Speaker 1: All this stuff, cleansing, all of this. So years ago,
Speaker 1: I lived in Chicago, and I have been allergic to fish,
Speaker 1: so I don't want to go to regular colinary school
Speaker 1: and have a whole section on fish. And I've always
Speaker 1: been interested in health, and I've always been interested in
Speaker 1: food and cooking. So I found a school in New
Speaker 1: York for Food and healing. This was two thousand. This
Speaker 1: was twenty two years ago. So I was a natural
Speaker 1: food chef before it was cool, before it was plant based,
Speaker 1: before it was all these other names, before local and seasonal,
Speaker 1: before all of the ship. I was a natural food chef.
Speaker 1: I was paid for it. I worked for it. I
Speaker 1: worked for nutritionists and cooked meals for them. I was
Speaker 1: that all healthy meals, low calorie meals, low fat meals,
Speaker 1: alternative meals, people with food intolerances, all that stuff. So
Speaker 1: I also a raw for almost a year, mostly raw.
Speaker 1: Going to school for Food and Healing leads you into
Speaker 1: that world of vegan and gluten free and celiac and
Speaker 1: what all these things meet and food intolerances. And that
Speaker 1: was long before it was cool too. There was no
Speaker 1: impossible meat, there was no beyond burger. There wasn't tofu
Speaker 1: sold everywhere. You know, oh milk, I'm in Macadamium milk.
Speaker 1: Every fucking milk in the world was not around. Nobody
Speaker 1: had almond milk. No one that soyed milk was the
Speaker 1: only one, and that was just not that common. Okay,
Speaker 1: so this is before all of this. I and raw food,
Speaker 1: which still now weird too many people. That was alien then.
Speaker 1: But I learned about eating raw, which is eating under
Speaker 1: a food under a certain temperature, not meat. It's vegetarian completely,
Speaker 1: but it means that after you cook food a certain temperature,
Speaker 1: it loses all of its being alive, and that's what
Speaker 1: keeps you alive, and your eyes are brighter. And it's
Speaker 1: this whole world. People are dehydrating food in these big
Speaker 1: contraptions at under a hundred and something degrees and it
Speaker 1: takes four hours to make a sprouted pizza. People using
Speaker 1: dates to make desserts. Like it gets really crazy. I
Speaker 1: could go on and on for days, but like it
Speaker 1: gets really crazy because things that you don't even realize
Speaker 1: are cooked are cooked. Meaning let me give you an example.
Speaker 1: You can't have you can't I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: about the cooked you can't have, like seaweed, toast sheets
Speaker 1: of seaweed. Some are toasted that's not raw nuts. Raw
Speaker 1: nuts are not like shiny and salty and roasted. They're
Speaker 1: like raw, so they're more blanched and they're just not
Speaker 1: as fun as like roast crispy nuts. So a lot
Speaker 1: of things to be raw. It's really extreme in one direction. Okay,
Speaker 1: So there's a world. Anytime you have these extreme ways
Speaker 1: of eating, there are these worlds. So there's this world
Speaker 1: of raw food. And Juliano is this guy that I
Speaker 1: met through this whole world, and he was famous in it.
Speaker 1: He was like this crazy chef with long blonde hair
Speaker 1: and he only ate ron, he only cooked rad. He's
Speaker 1: like a cult leader in that world. And it's just
Speaker 1: like in Bickram yoga how Burn Baptiste was like a
Speaker 1: cult leader in that world. Any extreme thing, extreme heat
Speaker 1: in the yoga, extreme eating is a world. So when
Speaker 1: the off food world, Juliana was a big deal. This
Speaker 1: woman Karen in Chicago that I learned for from, she
Speaker 1: was a big deal. And Wigmore was this was this
Speaker 1: person who started rejuvlac and wheat grass, which are these
Speaker 1: things that happened in Puerto Rico, and their books written
Speaker 1: by her and then um Anne Marie. I think Colbin
Speaker 1: was a big raw food person in natural food chefs.
Speaker 1: So there's all these people that are like famous in
Speaker 1: those little worlds. So it's weird to you and you
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm talking about, but just understand, I
Speaker 1: think you get the concept. So when I was in
Speaker 1: that world years ago and the natural food chef, I
Speaker 1: met Matthew Kenny, who was this raw food chef Delicious Food.
Speaker 1: I worked for him for a brief period of time,
Speaker 1: uh in Dumbo, Brooklyn, because he started these restaurants and
Speaker 1: he had a reputation for not paying people. I know
Speaker 1: that because he was like this artist chef that was
Speaker 1: not a great business person. He had this reputation back then.
Speaker 1: This is twenty years ago, and he was working with
Speaker 1: Russell Simmons jib Amook de Cafe and this guy was
Speaker 1: going to cook for him and all over the place.
Speaker 1: These people are creative types and they're all over the place.
Speaker 1: I'm getting somewhere because there's a show called Bad Vegan
Speaker 1: that's on and I'm gonna watch it for you guys.
Speaker 1: But Matthew Kenny's wife was had a brand called One
Speaker 1: Lucky duck with him and it ended in bad divorce
Speaker 1: and she ended up in this whole crazy illegal world
Speaker 1: within this raw space. And I'm gonna watch the whole thing.
Speaker 1: So this is sort of part one of it. But
Speaker 1: I just want you to know that these two own
Speaker 1: a place together, and I know that he was known
Speaker 1: for like not paying people, and he now has all
Speaker 1: these other restaurants. He kind of is like the pyramid skip.
Speaker 1: He keeps going and I have nothing against him. He's
Speaker 1: this totally nice guy. He's a good chef. I don't
Speaker 1: know about his business practices. I just know that he
Speaker 1: keeps moving through the system because these people that are
Speaker 1: known in different industries they kind of our artists and
Speaker 1: they're creative, and they moved through one business relationship then
Speaker 1: they move into another one. So he's always getting someone
Speaker 1: to partner with him and open a restaurant and then
Speaker 1: somehow it's closed down, Like he had a restaurant down
Speaker 1: in Miami and then it closed down. These raw food
Speaker 1: people are freaking weirdos and they're not business people, so
Speaker 1: they have these great, big ideas and they shut down
Speaker 1: all the time. So I'm gonna watch Bad Vegan because
Speaker 1: a lot of you been writing that you want to
Speaker 1: hear what I have to say about this, And it's
Speaker 1: the woman what's her name, Matthew Kenny's wife. She got
Speaker 1: Psarma Mangalas, So people want to know what she's shady?
Speaker 1: Was she in on it? Just telling you that I
Speaker 1: worked with her ex husband, And it's all sketchy. It's
Speaker 1: just sketchy. This world is a little sketchy. They're not
Speaker 1: really into following rules because they're like these cult leaders.
Speaker 1: Because anybody who's into raw that extreme, like people say,
Speaker 1: I'm two percent ROM, five percent ROB, four percent ROM
Speaker 1: eight percent raw. It's competitive. Oh it's not a D
Speaker 1: eighteen degrees a hundred eight degrees and you can't cook
Speaker 1: things over. I don't know the exact terminology. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you it's a bunch of fucking crazies because they're
Speaker 1: obsessed with some subculture, sub world that none of us understand,
Speaker 1: and they're all really uber competitive about it. And and
Speaker 1: oh that person is not real. Oh that person ate
Speaker 1: some roasted cash. She was a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: They're not real, you know. And I was like, touched
Speaker 1: this world by trying it, and I get it, but
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of fucking crazies. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: watch this movie, and I'm just telling you that I
Speaker 1: do have an opinion on this because I was in
Speaker 1: this world twenty years ago, bet dabbling. When I say
Speaker 1: that I was raw for a year, I wasn't strict
Speaker 1: strict strict. I was raw, I was vegan, I was in,
Speaker 1: I was out, but I understood what it was and
Speaker 1: all the crazy recipes because I was living in Chicago,
Speaker 1: engaged and board and could focus on the ship. So
Speaker 1: you have to be it's a time consuming. I know
Speaker 1: one person who can raw for years and she just
Speaker 1: fucking crazy. You can't go out to restaurants, she won't travel.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't imagine how alienating it can. Maybe
Speaker 1: you can only hang out with other people in this
Speaker 1: sub culture called world
