1
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk about who we build up and put on

2
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: pedestals and idolize, because this diddy thing, you know, this

3
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: is serious shit. This is a guy that people I

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: DA lize. And when I tell you, if you only

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,319
Speaker 1: knew the celebrities that used to kiss his ass to

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: get into that white party and the rich people and

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: the Hampton's a flutter to go to that white party

8
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: that I have never been to, by the way, but

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: and would have gone because you know, I was a nobody.

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: But I will tell you that there's so much bullshit

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. And someone on social media was talking about

12
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: how celebrity is canceled because people want real and people

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: are taking people to the bottom. And I think that

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: people have been burned so many times by these celebrities

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: and people that are I mean the fact that they

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: are these gods, these icons, these moguls that people worship.

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you spend more time thinking about what you're

18
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: going to order for dinner than you do thinking about

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: who the people really are that you decide are gods

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: and that you blindly follow and buy and worship and

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: build up and make rich buy planes. It's us we

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: have the power. And I think that that's been what

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: people have been talking about, saying the celebrity is done

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: because these people have so much power, and we've been

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: burned so many times by thinking that there's something that

26
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: they're not and why would they why would we know?

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: We don't know them. Someone like Diddy has been completely idolized,

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: but we have do not put people up on pedestals

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: who we don't know, because then when they become something

30
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: that is disappointed, we're shocked. We don't know Diddy from

31
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: anybody from a hole in the wall. We don't know

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: him any more than somebody walking past us on the street.

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: But you know, we're listening to his songs, we're believing

34
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: his bullshit, and now you know this is some serious shit.

35
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: So for me, the cautionary tale is we cannot keep

36
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: living this life where because someone you know can carry

37
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: a tune or dresses really slick, or looks really hot,

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: or filters themselves, we can't idolize them and put them

39
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: in these positions. Because I'm sure many of you have

40
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: spent money on his music, his clothing, his bullshit, watched

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: his show, whatever it is. So I guess the cautionary

42
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: tale is on us. These are just human beings that

43
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: we don't fucking know. Everyone travels differently, and you need

44
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: a baseline for the people that you're traveling with, or

45
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: who might be booking travel for you, or who you

46
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: might be getting recommendations from, so you can get on

47
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: the same page. So for someone to say, oh my god,

48
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: that place is amazing. So many people have recommendations, but

49
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: so many people disagree and think other people are wrong

50
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: about restaurants, hotels, spas, rooms, vacation spots. So let's get

51
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: a baseline, because it just means if you're talking to

52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: a tech travel agent, it'd be like going on a

53
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: dating app and and someone else thinks that someone with

54
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: dark hair and blue eyes who's five to nine is

55
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: for you, and you're like, wait, I like redheads that

56
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: have green hair, Like you have to have a baseline.

57
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: So for me, I was recently in Canada and I

58
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: first stayed at what I think is a five star

59
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: hotel and it was a little beat up, a little old.

60
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Stars are given out for different reasons. So stars are

61
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: given out if a hotel has like a full service

62
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: spa and a certain number of restaurants and X, Y

63
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: and z, and it's the same thing with apartment buildings.

64
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: I'm different with apartment buildings too. Some apartment buildings have

65
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: dry cleaners and a full service doorman and a gym

66
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: and a kids club and a TV room. And I

67
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: don't want any of that stuff. And at a hotel,

68
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't really need all that stuff. I don't need

69
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: a big hotel. I'm nine interested in transacting with people.

70
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't need ninety two restaurants and the most giant spot. Ever,

71
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: here's what I like at a hotel. I like a

72
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: bathtub in my room. An outdoor moment would be fine.

73
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: Looking at something is fine, it would not trump a bathtub.

74
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: Like if you shut the windows and I never looked outside,

75
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: I'd sooner take a bathtub. I would like one separate space,

76
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: Like we're not just sleep, you know, because there are

77
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: five star hotels that you could go to and everyone

78
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: says it's the best place, and you have a bed

79
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: and the bathroom there's no shower, but you're like the

80
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: lobby amazing and it's hipping cool people go there, Like

81
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit about that at all. I

82
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: give a shit about is there a microwave in there?

83
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: Is there a little fridge that's not jam packed with

84
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: like automatic magnetic fucking room service robots that the second

85
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: you look at something, you get charged. Like I'd like

86
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: my own refrigerator that's probably empty and I can put

87
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: my own things in there. A coffee maker is great,

88
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: it's a great thing. I'd like an ice machine, an

89
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: ice machine on my floor, like that's sort of looked

90
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: down upon. You know what I don't like being at

91
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: a six thousand dollars a night hotel which I've been

92
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: at and had to call and you're waiting twenty minutes

93
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: for ice, and that same ice comes in a normal

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: bucket and it's diluted and melted down in an hour

95
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: because you're in a hot climate. And then you got

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: to call again and wait another fifteen minutes either to

97
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: go get my own fucking ice or put it in

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: a nice little cooler and bring it to the room.

99
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: While we're complaining about stupid things that hotels do and

100
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: don't do. But I was just at a hotel in

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: Canada and everybody's like, oh my god, you're gonna hate

102
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: it there. Whatever, And here's what it was. It was,

103
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: like I said, probably like any other like Maria business

104
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: executive suites, whatever, it was clean, It had a little

105
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, you turn the switch fireplace on, and had

106
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: a couch in the living room with a TV and

107
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: a bedroom. So let's say you're there for extended period

108
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: of time as I was, you don't you don't feel

109
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: like your whole life is in the bedroom. You go

110
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: in that other little living room and maybe watch TV

111
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: in there. It had a washer dryer, Like washer dryer

112
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: trumps many things like that means you go away, you

113
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: don't feel like a gross pig, like you didn't bring

114
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: enough underwear, or you just you just want to go

115
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: home with clean laundry. Like laundry is a big deal

116
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: in life. I just think it's freedom. Laundry is freedom

117
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: going away and being able to bring one set of

118
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: clothes that you fly on the plane there and then

119
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: wash it and bring it back. That means like freedom

120
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: in your suitcase too, So that to me was huge.

121
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: And then we had a full kitchen. You had a microwave.

122
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: You could get some microwave popcorn, you can make some

123
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: raw and you don't have to be a prisoner to

124
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: other people and what they they you know, calling downstairs

125
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,239
Speaker 1: waiting like I don't like that. I want my own shit.

126
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: So I think that it's important to get a baseline. Okay,

127
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: do you want to be on a beach, you might

128
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: not be a beach person. I want to walk out

129
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: my room. I'd rather have a room that was a

130
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: little bit inferior, with less no view obviously, to not

131
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: have to go through a lobby and not have to

132
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: go on an elevator, to walk into my room on

133
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: the ground level and open the back door and walk

134
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: right onto the sand. I don't like a lot of transacting,

135
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: so to me that's killer, But other people same thing

136
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: in apartment buildings. I don't want to be on an

137
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: elevator and talk to Jane while she, you know, gets

138
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: her mail and is walking her dogs. I'd rather be

139
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: in a building. It's like a townhouse. We could just

140
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: walk right in, and I would. I'm not a person

141
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: that I like there to be like a little access

142
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: to a little town near the hotel, because I'm not

143
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: big on making a ton of plans, but like going

144
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: to walk into a town is like a little activity

145
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: or at night, deciding on the fly where you want

146
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: to have I don't like to feel like I'm on

147
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: an island, a prisoner of the hotel that's like a beautiful, private, gorgeous,

148
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: five star, romantic, amazing, well rated hotel that you have

149
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: to take golf carts everywhere on the property, and you

150
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: have to get a car twenty minutes to go into

151
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: a town to get a normal coffee that wasn't made

152
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: in your little like weird room coffee machine that doesn't

153
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: have milk, like and then you got to call down

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: and get the milk. Like. I like that. So everybody

155
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: has different preferences, is what I'm saying. I don't care

156
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: about the gym at a hotel, but I do care

157
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: if it's on the sand, because then I can take

158
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: a beach walk. And I don't mean just short sand

159
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: where you're just on the rocks and there's a little

160
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: sand and you get to swim in it. That's nice,

161
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: but I mean walkable sand beaches are like a mile

162
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: each way. These are things that people don't discuss enough.

163
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: Like there are hotels that are five star in Mexico.

164
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: They're gorgeous and they're on the beach and then there's

165
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: like tons of seaweed. It's not really it's beach and

166
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: it's beautiful, but like you're not really running in and

167
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: out swimming all day because you're going through like the

168
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: loch ness monster around your ankles every time you try

169
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: to take a swim. So I just think it's important

170
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: that you know what a hotel has. Some hotels have

171
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: a cute little like Barista coffee shop, or they have

172
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: a little deli we can go down and get something.

173
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: I like that, or like a little coffee cart, because

174
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't like everything I do at a hotel to

175
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: be like a massive transaction. You're like you're ordering in

176
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: from a Michelin star restaurant to get a cup of coffee.

177
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: I just it's too fancy and too precious. So the

178
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: hotel that I was at recently in Canada was perfect,

179
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: and people were shocked because it was easy and it

180
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: had what I wanted, what I needed. So when you travel,

181
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: or when you move into a building or however you roll,

182
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: figure out exactly what you like and convey that because

183
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: someone else will tell you that this amazing five star

184
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: hotel that's twenty minutes from civilization, that has no little

185
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: caf place, that you have a shower and a small room,

186
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: that you have no microwave, that you have no refrigerator,

187
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: that that is where you should stay because it's rated

188
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: high and may not have the things that you want,

189
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: and you may be spending money on the things you're

190
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: not even going to use. I may be paying for

191
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: a gym that I'm not going to use. I don't

192
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: need a full service, so on. But some people want

193
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: to get a blow dry every day. Everybody has different needs.

194
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: What are yours
