1
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the Kardashians and this disaster. They

2
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: have been getting a lot of heat because they donated

3
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: things from Costco and people are saying, you can buy Costco.

4
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: They donated meals from a restaurant to a fire station,

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: and that's a drop in the bucket.

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: You're all billionaires.

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: And then they donated money after no and then they

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: promoted Skims at the worst possible time and people were enraged.

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: And then they donated money from Skims, you know, to

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: frost it, which people are very smart. People caught on.

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying they're right about it. I'm

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: just saying people caught on. They said the devil works hard,

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: but Chris Janner works harder.

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 2: Okay. So they have.

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Gotten dragged not because they did anything so drastically wrong,

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: because they donated. You know, we don't get to count

17
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: other people's money and tell them what to do. They

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: got dragged for having private firefighters at their house. And

19
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: I saw someone at social media saying, what is money?

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Why did you make money and build this house so

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna protect it? You know, it doesn't they're

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: not firefighters that would be working on the big fires.

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 1: So you can split the difference. It's not a great look.

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that you might not do it if

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: you had the money. It doesn't mean that they're wrong.

26
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: It just means that it's like, all together, not a

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: great look. Now, I'm not against them. I have met Chloe,

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: she's lovely. I've met Cordy she was fine. I met Kylie,

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: she was We did not really, she didn't really say anything.

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: I've met Chris, she was fine. And I've met Kim

31
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: and she was nice. And I hear that, you know,

32
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: Kim is a very nice person and on time, and

33
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: like they're very hard workers. They are entrepreneurs. They are

34
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: very successful, they are very smart. They have really monetized it,

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: and everybody gave them their flowers and their money, fair

36
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: and square. But the age of elitism being over, it

37
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: is sticking out like it is glaring, the era of

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I'm up here, you're down there, the flaunting of wealth,

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: all of these things I said on this podcast when

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: I was just done and I was just full, I

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: just thought, we cannot support this flaunting. This I'm a

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: humble brag on a yacht, this lifestyle, These kids that

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: think that you have to be in full beat hair

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: and makeup twenty four hours a day, and your waist

45
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: has to be sinched it and you have to have

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: extensions on, and you need to all look exactly the

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: same and your clones and then everybody had got the

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: BBL butts. But then the Kardashians all presumably went on

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: something to lose weight at the same time, and then

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: their bodies are smaller, so everybody goes that way. And

51
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: then we lose sixteen pounds in a week from Marilyn

52
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: Monroe and like, you know, to wear that outfit. It's

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: just all seems so superficial at this time, which is

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: ironically hiding Montag's song that's gone viral and it's not

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: superficial at all, So I'll get into that too. But people,

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: not even me, I don't care. I don't know what

57
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: they're doing. People have been waterboarded with this flaunting of

58
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: luxury and with all of this tragedy, and with just

59
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: the social media being about being real and not authentic,

60
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: with them not fully translating, you know, on certain apps

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: to the same level that they have on the more

62
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: superficial look at me apps, or just the average person

63
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: just doesn't want to hear about and see it. It's

64
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: just too unrelatable and it's part of the elitism, the

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: age of elitism being over, celebrity being over. It's just shifted.

66
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: And they had an incredible decade long run. It was

67
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: an era. It's an entire era. What they've done is

68
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: will be studied in business books. But the audience has

69
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: just said enough. And I predicted this. I predicted this

70
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: on this very podcast in the Hamptons. I was in

71
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: my basement and I said, we need a Kardashian klened,

72
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: We need a Kardashian intervention. We don't need the humble

73
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: brags and listen. I was on a show that was

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: about the age of elitism. The housewives have jumped the shark.

75
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: The views are abysmal because the age of elitism is over.

76
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: Having the twelve thousand dollars Barkin is not relatable. Putting

77
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: it on television like a character, and you know, sitting

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: it in front of a camera and showing its price

79
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: underneath and might as well and naming it is not

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: and calling them her is not relatable. And it used

81
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: to be aspirational and now it's just pretty vile. And

82
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: I have a lot of luxury goods. I have a

83
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: watch collection. Okay, I have beautiful homes. I have had

84
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: all the bags. Like maybe out of insecurity, maybe out

85
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: of flexing, maybe out of the game, maybe out of competition,

86
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 1: maybe out of showing off on television, maybe out of

87
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: being on the Housewives. This is what I'm wearing competition.

88
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,239
Speaker 1: You know, Denise Richards went on The Housewives with shorts

89
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: and a tank to up and they looked at her

90
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,799
Speaker 1: like she was a fucking alien. Because people are wearing

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: ball gowns in their basements when no one's gonna see them,

92
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: when they're shooting scenes on vacation, like not their basements

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: but their balconies. Like it's just it's performative, and that's fine.

94
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: That's what it is. It's an art form. It's now

95
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: a different show. It's now theatrics great. It's just not

96
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: landing because people don't want to see a vile, vulgar

97
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: display of wealth anymore. They just don't want to. You know,

98
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: I sol fifty handbags. I have the receipts to prove it.

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: I am about to make a sizeable donation to be strong.

100
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: But I believe it's going to be North Carolina because

101
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into North Carolina. I'm not a hero.

102
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I am wealthy. I have a lot of things. I

103
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: fly first class. I'm not you know, moving into a box.

104
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: I didn't lose my house. I'm just saying that there's

105
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: a line of where people want to see the highs

106
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: and lows and what something costs and know what it is.

107
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: Because there are wealthy people that want to buy some

108
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: of the things that you have, and then there's the

109
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: affordable things and you don't have to perform any of that.

110
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying there's a line where it becomes vulgar

111
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: and it becomes flaunting, and it becomes I'm rich and

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: you're not. And the problem is that they're not going

113
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: to be able to win for losing because if they

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: then wear in expensive things, it's going to be a costplay.

115
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: You know, they're going into Target, it's a costplay. They

116
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: can't win for losing. So I guess that's why the

117
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: Kardashians have been quieter with a K than ever. They

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: have been quieter than ever. You know it, it's not

119
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: just because the media doesn't report on them as much,

120
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: which they've just been quieter than ever because they know

121
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: that they have to stay quiet and this time where

122
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: no one has the bandwidth for luxury and astronomical displays

123
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,239
Speaker 1: of wealth. And I'm not I don't hate the player

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: hate the game, you know, don't hate the player at

125
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: the game.

126
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: I'm not. I'm not criticizing them. I'm really not.

127
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to what people are digesting and what people

128
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: are talking about. Walmart Burkin broke the Internet. Okay, what

129
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 1: is the Walmart Burkin? The Walmart Burkin is a bag

130
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: that is a knockoff of an air mez bag that

131
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: does not have the logo, that has an additional strap,

132
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: that is made in China, that has just been put

133
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: on the Amazon website. A third party market plays just

134
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean a marketplace that sells third party merchandise. So

135
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: Walmart took the entire media blitz for this when Amazon

136
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: has been doing it for years, and they do it

137
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: wider and deeper. Amazon is Chinatown, just so you know.

138
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Amazon is Chinatown. It is knockoff central for any and everything.

139
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Walmart just it became a good sound to say that

140
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: there's a Walmart Burkin. And Amazon and Walmart do roughly

141
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: the same revenue, like six hundred and fifty million dollars

142
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: a year approximately, and there could be an intellectual property issue,

143
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: although there probably isn't because if Amazon has been doing

144
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: it so wide and deep for so long, then I

145
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: don't think there's an intellectual property issue with Walmart. Maybe

146
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: their supplier ran out of bags, which is why they

147
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: sold out. It's been everywhere. It literally broke the internet.

148
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: But here's the bigger picture, and here's what it means.

149
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: Here's what was happening as a residual effect. What was

150
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: happening was the wealthiest of women in a panic, are

151
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: in a panic, needing to tell on social media why

152
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: the Walmart? Why the air Mes burkin is so much

153
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: more elea, Why the craftsmanship, Why the stitching, Why the leather. Okay,

154
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: it's a twelve one hundred dollars bag compared to an

155
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: eighty five dollars bag, so it's fairly lost on people

156
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: when they're like, oh, this has strong saddle restitching. People like, right,

157
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm putting my shit in it. My tried end is

158
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: going to be at the bottom of the bag and

159
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to drop, you know, have a bottle of water.

160
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: It's going to open there.

161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: Like that's what people are actually saying, but what's more

162
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: important is the people that can afford it, that can't

163
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: afford a burkin, which is everyone went in and.

164
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: Stormed the castle.

165
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: There's a pride to this also, where they didn't want

166
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: to have a knockoff. They don't want to have a

167
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: bag that says Airmes on it. Then their friends are like,

168
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: what are you doing. You're wearing a fake bag that

169
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: you can't afford, because that's not dignified, and that's you know, shame,

170
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: and you feel like you don't belong. Walmart gave everyone

171
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: licensed belong Walmart set. It doesn't have a label on it,

172
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: and it has a strap. It's your bag, far and square.

173
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 1: It's eighty five dollars. You get to wear it. So

174
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: they have been storming the castle and saying to the

175
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: rich people, guess what, we're here too. It's absolutely a

176
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: problem for Aaron Mez no matter what they say, it

177
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: has to be and it's a marketing problem.

178
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: And the bigger.

179
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: Picture of that is that it's the age of elitism

180
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: is over, the age of celebrity is over, the age

181
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: of I'm up here, you're down here is over. The

182
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: age of luxury goods. In many cases as we knew

183
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: it is over. There's a pride in people having a dupe.

184
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: Now now, I believe in celebrating the original designer. I believe,

185
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: and I started this thing on social media called handbag University.

186
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: I believe that these people that can afford the eighty

187
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: five dollars bag should not be buying a knockoff because

188
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: they're sticking it to the man that they hate. So

189
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: it's a person you hate, you're maybe jealous of you

190
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: you can't afford to be with, you know, or the

191
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: item you can't afford to have, and now you're wearing it.

192
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 1: So it's like you hate it, but you're wearing it.

193
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: People could say that about me with Chanel, but I

194
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: I would take such a financial loss on the things

195
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: that I own and I get it. So I'm saying,

196
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: by the way, wear the knockoff if you want, don't

197
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: wear the knock off if you don't want. I'm not judging.

198
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying handbag University is about finding phenomenal bags that

199
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: are so affordable, like thirty dollars forty dollars, so we

200
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: could feel proud and not have a bag that just

201
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: has a triangle on it to make us feel secure

202
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: and ABCDEFGHI letter l V letter on it, just to

203
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: make us feel secure. Because I've seen tank tops of

204
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: triangles that people are paying hundreds of dollars for. It's

205
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: a tank top, it has a fifty cent triangle on it.

206
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: So everybody's lost their mind. And the age of elitism

207
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: is over in celebrity and in certainly in luxury goods.

208
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: And we'll get into that more later. I just want

209
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: to say, I don't want someone perfect, but I want

210
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: someone new with tags. Like if I see someone and

211
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: I see the pink flags, the red flags, and I

212
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: realize that they have a stain, have this damage, have

213
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: this problem, have this thing in the beginning when it's

214
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: the new car smell.

215
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: I don't want that. I want a relationship to be new.

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: With tags.

217
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: It will get stain, it will get dirty, it will

218
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: become damage. But if somebody comes in and I'm dating

219
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: them and they have they're already defective merchandise where someone's

220
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: going to sell it for twenty percent off put it back.

221
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: What do I mean?

222
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: You meet someone their texting communication is bizarre. They sort

223
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: of ghost for a while, they disappear, They have some sketch,

224
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: they have a background, there are red flags. People tell

225
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: you things, you find out things. They are not making

226
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: you feel good, they're not taking care of you, they're

227
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: not an equal partner. Whatever it is. You know, it's

228
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: different for everyone. You know, you make excuses for them,

229
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: You make excuses, you market it new with tags.

230
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: You do not need.

231
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: And I don't mean damaged goods like someone has is

232
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: divorced with children.

233
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: That's not damaged goods. That's beautiful.

234
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: I don't mean someone has suffers from anxiety. I don't

235
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: mean that. I mean someone is just not meeting you

236
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: where you're at. Okay, and it could be it could

237
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: be because of something they've been through. I suppose, you know,

238
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: timing is everything. You're not going to meet someone the

239
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: second after they get divorced or after they you know,

240
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: went bankrupt or something that's that's a trauma experience like

241
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: something like that, but new with.

242
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: Tags, especially for the young ones.

243
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to talk about gas lighting in relationships

244
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: because I think it's an overused word, but it's also

245
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: an under used word. It's an underused concept. I am

246
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: so grateful for that word that years ago. I think

247
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm housewives. Someone said it, or someone said it at

248
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: a reunion and I didn't really understand it. It's used

249
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: for like, wait, you know, you're pushing that on me,

250
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: and when it's really you, You're it's a turnaround whatever.

251
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: I have to tell you that, I think in relationships

252
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: it is so overused, not the term but the practice.

253
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: So I'm talking to ladies, I think men and women. No,

254
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm talking to everyone. So I'm talking to you guys,

255
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: men and women. When you're in a relationship and you

256
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: trust your gut, or you're dating someone and you trust

257
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: your gut and you know that what you're feeling is

258
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: correct and valid, and after you talk to someone or

259
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: convey that, somehow, the pile of shit is dumped on

260
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: you and you don't have clarity. You actually think you

261
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: did something wrong, or you start to understand, or you

262
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: reshift and you remarket the situation. You've been gas lit,

263
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: and it's very hard to have the self control to

264
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: not allow that, and it's very hard to not be

265
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: steamrolled and to not yourself feel guilty and start apologizing

266
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: for something you didn't even do.

267
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: It's the turnaround.

268
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: It's somebody cheats on you and then they tell you

269
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: that you haven't been there for them, that you haven't

270
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: been communicating, that you never dress sexy, that you let yourself.

271
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: Go something like that. That's gaslighting, right like.

272
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: It's the turnaround when someone does something that's not correct,

273
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: that's rude, that's ungrateful, and you express that it hurt

274
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: you or that you don't like it, and they tell you,

275
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: do you not realize what I'm going through? You're so

276
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: insensitive right now? Or justifies what they did and says,

277
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean that wasn't that bad. I mean, come on,

278
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: and then puts it on, dumps it on you. Don't

279
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: dump your pile of shit on me. So do not

280
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: let anyone dump their pile of shit on you what

281
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: you feel. If you're saying if you have a history

282
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: of you know, being irrational or flying off the handle,

283
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: or going half cocked or not thinking before you speak,

284
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: that's a different thing. Please be honest with yourself. If

285
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: you are a rational, sane person that is calm, cool

286
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: and collected, your feelings are valid. And if your gut

287
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: usually serves you right at work in other areas, then

288
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: your feelings are valid. And if someone makes you feel crazy,

289
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: they've likely gaslight you. So it's not a great term

290
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: right now because of the fires. But you put out

291
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: that fire and you don't tolerate that, and it's a

292
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: red it's a flaming red flag.
