Speaker 1: I don't like extra large and extra extra large? What
Speaker 1: the hell? Why do we have to have extra large
Speaker 1: for sizes for limit at this point? Like why is
Speaker 1: that still? Why can't it be uh lean or spelt
Speaker 1: and curvy and voluptuous or sexy or why can't we
Speaker 1: assign words to sizes we have? Makeup doesn't say beige,
Speaker 1: it's or or pink. It says you go girl, like
Speaker 1: whatever it is. It could be you go girl for
Speaker 1: a size twelve and you know, bad bitch for a
Speaker 1: size sixtyed? Like why do we still have the extra
Speaker 1: large that that's a good way to fund people up?
Speaker 1: Kids who are overweight don't want to have an extra
Speaker 1: large T shirt or a large? Can that? Like you'll
Speaker 1: cancel someone for saying something they do realize they said,
Speaker 1: Can we just cancel brands to have large and extra large?
Speaker 1: Myself included? Can we just like not have large and
Speaker 1: next shorge? I want to like buxom, bodacious, Like what
Speaker 1: do we need that we need to change their sizes?
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about it. If I launched more
Speaker 1: clothing lines, like if I launched the Bethany clothing line,
Speaker 1: we will not we will not say excel, maybe plus
Speaker 1: or heart. You have to find a way for people
Speaker 1: to know that it's larger. And I get that, but
Speaker 1: there's a way we can educate people. We've educated people
Speaker 1: in other ways. There's no reason that we should have
Speaker 1: extra large and large size. And people need to feel
Speaker 1: a certain way. Men may not want to feel small either,
Speaker 1: by the way, a man, a grown man doesn't need
Speaker 1: to feel like he's a small in underwear. Particularly, why
Speaker 1: is black China, Why is Black China's mother trying to
Speaker 1: raise four hundred thousand dollars that you can go back
Speaker 1: to court? What is rabbit hole? Like when you go
Speaker 1: into the casino and you fucking bet it all on
Speaker 1: red and you lose all your money, you walk the
Speaker 1: funk out. That's it. You do not press your bets.
Speaker 1: This is psychotic, it's crazy. It's almost stalking like. Court
Speaker 1: cases don't get thrown out of court that easily. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's not that easy to get a case thrown out.
Speaker 1: You have to be fucking delusional and not talking about
Speaker 1: anything it's based in reality, or you just have to
Speaker 1: have a really shitty case that's not going to succeed.
Speaker 1: So you've got to know one's in business and in life,
Speaker 1: you need to know when to hold them and when
Speaker 1: to fold them. I honestly cannot imagine unless it's just
Speaker 1: for pure publicity, for Black China to continue to embarrass
Speaker 1: herself and her family and keep trying to take the
Speaker 1: Kardashians to court. It's outrageous and ridiculous. And you lost
Speaker 1: it happened. Take your choys and go. Hey, guys, it's
Speaker 1: Cheryl Burke. You know me from Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1: But guess what. I have a new podcast called Burke
Speaker 1: in the Game. It may look like that my life
Speaker 1: is full of costumes and whatever, but at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, you probably don't know the Cheryl behind
Speaker 1: the Mirrorball trophy. I've been really curious about how and
Speaker 1: why a lot of my relationships or every single one
Speaker 1: really has not worked out, and I can only point
Speaker 1: the finger at myself. One of the things that I
Speaker 1: want to work on is not being so controlling, Like
Speaker 1: I'm so tired of thinking that I can control everything
Speaker 1: around me when there isn't enough hours in the day
Speaker 1: even if there were. In order for me to really
Speaker 1: practice what I'm preaching, I have to turn my life
Speaker 1: over to someone else. And what better way than to
Speaker 1: turn it over to you guys. I have to be
Speaker 1: able to take accountability, and that's what I'm doing here.
Speaker 1: Listen to Burke in the Game starting May tenth, the
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
Speaker 1: your podcasts. So I want to talk about workplace culture
Speaker 1: because because I want to talk about workplace culture because um,
Speaker 1: it's something that you really have to work at and
Speaker 1: you have to make choices in your life based on
Speaker 1: the things that you want to do, but you also
Speaker 1: have to make choices of the people around you. Just
Speaker 1: like someone takes a job, it affects their whole family.
Speaker 1: Like we're going on a ride. Now we're I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go be traveling a lot. It's gonna stress us all out.
Speaker 1: Or we're doing this. It's gonna be challenging for all
Speaker 1: of us. So we're all on board. And I think
Speaker 1: it's interesting too with workplace culture because I now have
Speaker 1: a more balanced workplace culture than I've ever had. People
Speaker 1: have time off on the weekends, free nights, like they
Speaker 1: can live a life. It used to be way more
Speaker 1: intense with my schedule and with the craziness with me,
Speaker 1: like the shift flows downwards. So I'd be on these
Speaker 1: crazy book tours which would go on forever, and you
Speaker 1: never knew how intense it was going to be, so
Speaker 1: you just sort of were in it and you couldn't
Speaker 1: get out. And there were people were because I came up,
Speaker 1: and if I came up in a culture where you
Speaker 1: just worked your ass off, and the Jeffrey Katzenberg saying
Speaker 1: if you don't come in on Saturday, don't bother coming
Speaker 1: in on Sunday, that's really how I came up. That's truly,
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's anything wrong with him having
Speaker 1: said that. People got mad at him for that. That
Speaker 1: was back then. That was the way that people, you know,
Speaker 1: didn't know that certain things were wrong to say. But
Speaker 1: so I've created this different culture now by really thinking
Speaker 1: about it. You have to plan the way that you
Speaker 1: organize anything else. You organize your closet, you organize your schedule, everything,
Speaker 1: you have to sort of be think about it. Just
Speaker 1: don't reach out all the time. Stack the things you say,
Speaker 1: prepare everybody so you don't just get jammed up. And
Speaker 1: you're in that twenty city book tour. Before and after
Speaker 1: there's downtime for people, so there's like a balance and
Speaker 1: it does work and keeping people happy it's effort, and
Speaker 1: it means you're establishing a culture. Like now I understand
Speaker 1: Google having private chefs there or nobody can be there
Speaker 1: past a certain hour or all these different things. You know,
Speaker 1: it's all designed for that reason. Well, you wanted one
Speaker 1: to be happy. Um, because someone's gonna be in a
Speaker 1: better mood, and just you just wanted one to be happy.
Speaker 1: It's great. Related to that, I'm just so proud of
Speaker 1: myself that I really can honestly say there is no
Speaker 1: amount of money to do something that you don't love.
Speaker 1: This has now become a theme. I'm now that person
Speaker 1: that can actually say I've really taken so many things
Speaker 1: off the board to focus on what makes me happy
Speaker 1: and not do the things that don't And in Housewives
Speaker 1: coming back and then reaching out to me and me
Speaker 1: just saying like no, you know, just no, I don't
Speaker 1: want to be on the Housewives. I don't want to
Speaker 1: go back to Housewives. I just don't want to do that.
Speaker 1: And when I left, I left millions of dollars on
Speaker 1: the table, millions of dollars, multiple millions, not to not
Speaker 1: multiple millions of dollars on the table to walk away
Speaker 1: for a better life for myself. And most people can't
Speaker 1: say that because the people who are doing it are
Speaker 1: not doing it because they just love it. Because everyone
Speaker 1: thinks in the meantime it's absolutely excruciating and stressful and
Speaker 1: massive anxiety. And people are doing it for either the
Speaker 1: money or the relevance or the fame or the street
Speaker 1: cred or what it can do for them. But most
Speaker 1: people aren't doing it just because it makes them feel that.
Speaker 1: No one's doing because it makes them feel good and
Speaker 1: it's healthy. No one's doing it because it's healthy, and
Speaker 1: I've chose to live a healthier life. I don't mean
Speaker 1: wheat grass, I mean just to be like I don't
Speaker 1: want to. You can't pay me enough money to do
Speaker 1: something that I don't think is healthy and that I
Speaker 1: don't want to do. And it happened with a production deal.
Speaker 1: I walked away, and with a production deal that was
Speaker 1: a lot of money, high six figures, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to do it. I've walked away recently from another deal
Speaker 1: that would be multiple millions of dollars to work with
Speaker 1: a partner that I didn't like working with. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm just getting stricter and stricter, so as I create
Speaker 1: a healthier workplace culture for myself. I'm just it's really
Speaker 1: liberating to just say, I mean, now I have the
Speaker 1: proof I've done all this philanthropy and I've turned down
Speaker 1: I mean, the whole what it would have equalled altogether easily.
Speaker 1: I've walked away from ten million dollars of money to
Speaker 1: not do something that I don't want to do that
Speaker 1: I don't feel as healthy for me mentally, physically, emotionally.
Speaker 1: And I'm proud of myself. I'm actually proud of myself.
Speaker 1: And to this day and housewives coming back and asking
Speaker 1: is there a chance and me saying no, I'm proud
Speaker 1: of myself. That means you're walking away. That means no
Speaker 1: means yes. Saying no means saying yes to yourself. So
Speaker 1: I am quite proud of myself. There's no amount of
Speaker 1: money to do what you don't love, if I have
Speaker 1: to say, there's no amount of money to do what
Speaker 1: you don't love if you don't have to. I have
Speaker 1: worked and had a five dollar car with a cracked
Speaker 1: windshield and worked twenty three hours out of twenty four days,
Speaker 1: being in disgusting buildings, shrink wrapping cookies, delivering them exhausted.
Speaker 1: I've killed myself. I have had bounced after bounce after bounce, checks,
Speaker 1: insufficient funds, Ikia Furniture, can't pay my rent. I've done
Speaker 1: it all. But when you don't have to, there is
Speaker 1: no price to do something that you don't love. So
Speaker 1: I want to talk to people. I want to talk
Speaker 1: to people about eggs and flows and relationships and also
Speaker 1: particularly like in the earlier stage, sometimes it's the honeymoon
Speaker 1: phase when it's amazing, you're in that Courtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, amazing,
Speaker 1: you know, Pete David, Sam Kim Kardashian, Megan Fox, the Stallion,
Speaker 1: Megan Fox, that what's his name? The machine Gun Kelly phase,
Speaker 1: the j back j lob up with Ben Faith. You
Speaker 1: know that that's the honeymoon phase. Then you get into
Speaker 1: the settling phase, like are we doing this and it's
Speaker 1: great and we're partners, and then you get into kind
Speaker 1: of it can be almost like a malaise, like we're
Speaker 1: in a relationship, we're not in the honeymoon phase. We
Speaker 1: love each other, it's solid, it's consistent, but sometimes there's
Speaker 1: sort of like they call it that seven year itch.
Speaker 1: I want to say, it's really nice these ebbs and flows.
Speaker 1: You something when you really calm down and you don't
Speaker 1: worry about what everything means, because in the beginning everything
Speaker 1: is amazing, and then if it's not amazing, you're worried
Speaker 1: that it's not amazing like it was, or and then
Speaker 1: if you're not having sex the same that you're comparing
Speaker 1: it to before, or then you get the high of
Speaker 1: a wedding, an engagement or a wedding, and then you
Speaker 1: get the afterwards and the honeymoon in the presence, and
Speaker 1: then what happens next, Then you move into a house,
Speaker 1: then you have a kid. These are all these highs,
Speaker 1: but when you're in just the regular day to day
Speaker 1: of a relationship, it can sometimes seem blah. And then
Speaker 1: that if not, if you don't get worked up about
Speaker 1: that and you don't read into that and you don't
Speaker 1: think about that and you don't like make meaning out
Speaker 1: of that, you get into like a really good, solid,
Speaker 1: peaceful phase. And I think it's really important because that's
Speaker 1: where the trust comes in and the comfort and the
Speaker 1: not questioning and they're not asking all the time, is
Speaker 1: it right? Is it wrong? Is it right? It was this,
Speaker 1: It was that, it's gonna be this, It's gonna be that.
Speaker 1: Am I doing this? You're just you're just you're just
Speaker 1: solid and you're sure, and you're in that phase. I
Speaker 1: just think that that's an incredible, amazing, amazing phase. So
Speaker 1: my daughter brought a report card and she did the
Speaker 1: best in science, and she told me she loves her
Speaker 1: teacher the most in that class, and the teachers so
Speaker 1: supportive and so kind to her and so nice to her.
Speaker 1: And it made me realize how important teachers are, how
Speaker 1: underpaid they are, are, how underpaid they are, how undervalue
Speaker 1: they are. My daughter is not interested in science. She's
Speaker 1: interested in art and dancing and being free, and you know,
Speaker 1: like she's like a she's like a Penny Lane character,
Speaker 1: and she's into science and doing all science because she
Speaker 1: loves her teacher and her teachers so nice to her.
Speaker 1: And you know, you've had dick bitchy teachers, right and
Speaker 1: they make you hate it. And she has one teacher
Speaker 1: she doesn't love and she's not doing that well on
Speaker 1: that subject. And it just makes me take a minute
Speaker 1: and say, we need to value and elevate these teachers.
Speaker 1: Because they're literally helping our children to thrive but also
Speaker 1: be open to areas of education that they might not
Speaker 1: even be open to thrive in, areas they might not
Speaker 1: even thrive in. My daughter is good at science. Like science,
Speaker 1: to me, it was torture and like it was just
Speaker 1: not a real subject. In high school, you were just
Speaker 1: taking science because you had to check the box. But
Speaker 1: you know, you just waited for the day you got
Speaker 1: to dissect the frog and that was it, you know.
Speaker 1: But she's loving science and I'm just so happy. But
Speaker 1: it's because of a teacher, which means we have to
Speaker 1: inspire these teachers, value them, appreciate them, treat them well
Speaker 1: because they're inspiring these kids. It just made me really
Speaker 1: want to like shout out to teachers.
