Speaker 1: Okay, I have to say something very positive about Andy Cohen,
Speaker 1: Bravo and Dorinda. There's something in page six about me
Speaker 1: and that Dorinda said, Um, and we don't speak all
Speaker 1: the time Direnda and I, but I have we have
Speaker 1: a mutual respect for each other as people who work
Speaker 1: together and know each other and mothers, etcetera. And she
Speaker 1: said in page six, not even she could drag me
Speaker 1: kicking and screaming to come back to the housewives. And um,
Speaker 1: many times Andy has said, you know, oh, we said
Speaker 1: at Bravo Con, this is all around Bravo Con. Andy
Speaker 1: Cohen said, you know, he doesn't believe that I'm interested
Speaker 1: in coming back all of this. I could tell you something.
Speaker 1: Bravo and Andy have a bigger microphone and credibility in
Speaker 1: that space than I do. And whilst I took the snarky,
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit road and saying there's a number but
Speaker 1: they and afford to pay that that's sort of snarky
Speaker 1: and almost negative. It's not something negative about Andy or Bravo,
Speaker 1: but it's it's true, but it's sort of a little snarky.
Speaker 1: And usually people Bravo liberties take the snark and usually
Speaker 1: Bravo and people like Andy want everyone you know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I I have a soft spot for the
Speaker 1: fact that and that Andy and Arenda are truthful and
Speaker 1: Bravo are truthful about the fact that I am always
Speaker 1: welcome back and then I choose to not come back.
Speaker 1: If anything, I've been the lesser person by letting everybody
Speaker 1: know that I'm not coming back and why I left
Speaker 1: and the reasons, and those reasons are true. I just
Speaker 1: it would be very easy for Andy to say I
Speaker 1: haven't said Bethany's welcome back, or Direnda to say who
Speaker 1: knows the shows are better with that, or she hasn't
Speaker 1: been here. That would be very easy to say, because
Speaker 1: look at Beverly Hills, it's doing fine without least Savanda props.
Speaker 1: Some would say maybe even better. You know, you could say, um,
Speaker 1: Bravo as a whole is thriving, and I didn't go
Speaker 1: to Bravo con and they didn't have any problem. There's
Speaker 1: a spot that I have for people like Dorenda and
Speaker 1: Andy and Bravo overall and being truthful and saying she's
Speaker 1: welcome back but doesn't seem to want to come back.
Speaker 1: There's just something about that that's honest. That never happens.
Speaker 1: It's like someone's saying, they broke up with me, they
Speaker 1: broke my heart. It never happened. Someone's always saying, well, now,
Speaker 1: I mean, I really wanted to break up, but they
Speaker 1: actually did. It just feels very mature. It sounds ridiculous
Speaker 1: that I'm bringing that up, but it just struck me
Speaker 1: well when given a page six moment, either Dorenda or
Speaker 1: Andy could have said we're doing fine without Bethany, and
Speaker 1: she doesn't miss an opportunity to say how much she
Speaker 1: doesn't need to be here. Like there's a thousand ways
Speaker 1: that could have been sliced, and everybody took the high road,
Speaker 1: in the mature road. And I appreciate that Andy Cohen
Speaker 1: and Dernda Medley. It does not go unnoticed. And they're
Speaker 1: not even doing it for attention at all. They're just
Speaker 1: doing it because they're being honest and being literal. And
Speaker 1: he knows that they would have me back, and that
Speaker 1: I don't. They don't feel that I want to do that,
Speaker 1: or that I'm ready to do that or want you know,
Speaker 1: And it's just very honest, and I just like that
Speaker 1: the guy who is There are different people on the
Speaker 1: com apps. There's a commapp, there's another one headspace. There
Speaker 1: are these apps and it's really funny. There are different
Speaker 1: voices that I like, a don't like what a job.
Speaker 1: Some of them are former monks. I mean they've they've
Speaker 1: got like real, real resumes from what they say. And
Speaker 1: this is how it will go if you do like
Speaker 1: a seven minute when they're like, hi, today, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about being accountable to your presence and spiritual. I'm
Speaker 1: making this up to your presence and spirituality. Sometimes we're
Speaker 1: not present and sometimes we're not spiritual, and you know,
Speaker 1: take a few deep breaths and then it goes silent
Speaker 1: for a really long time. There's a couple of like
Speaker 1: take a few in out deep breath and that's probably
Speaker 1: like forty five seconds, and then they're like all these
Speaker 1: minutes of quiet. Sometimes you're like that at my phone
Speaker 1: go off, you go look at it, you hit the things,
Speaker 1: so the light screen goes on and you don't know
Speaker 1: if it's gone pause, etcetera. And then somehow, after like
Speaker 1: all these minutes, they'll come back and they'll talk again
Speaker 1: about some greepe breaths and cleansing, and it's important to
Speaker 1: be present in me spiritual of and thank you very much,
Speaker 1: have a wonderful day. Like this guy's got the best
Speaker 1: fucking gig ever he has to He has to literally
Speaker 1: speak for like forty five seconds at the beginning and
Speaker 1: forty five seconds at the end of a seven minute comrade,
Speaker 1: and I'm drooling and passed out. So he should be
Speaker 1: getting paid the most of anybody all year than any job,
Speaker 1: because I'd pay anything to just drool in the middle
Speaker 1: of the day spontaneously. So I like your Picasso college.
Speaker 1: I've started to think the college is absolutely useless and
Speaker 1: worthless if you're not going to be a lawyer a doctor,
Speaker 1: or you don't need to just be put someplace by
Speaker 1: your parents for several years, or business school. My driver
Speaker 1: has a son who's a rock star at soccer, like
Speaker 1: going professional right out of high school, and he's not
Speaker 1: sending him to college. Um, and he's actually even getting paid.
Speaker 1: And you know, someone else on my staff was saying, well,
Speaker 1: he's young, and what if something happens, and you know,
Speaker 1: he didn't go to school, he doesn't have a diploma.
Speaker 1: I've never once been asked to see my diploma. I've
Speaker 1: never showed my diploma for a n y U. Ever,
Speaker 1: I talked to Paul, who's really smart, my fiance, who
Speaker 1: reads all day long, and he didn't learn a thing
Speaker 1: in college. I really didn't learn a thing in college.
Speaker 1: I learned in high school from my really good teachers,
Speaker 1: from my English teacher in particular, and I'm hour writer.
Speaker 1: I learned immaculate grammar, which is so important. If you
Speaker 1: teach your kids one thing, please make it be immaculate grammar.
Speaker 1: Kids can't write, they write an emojis, and they don't
Speaker 1: They just can't write sentences, they can't write emails. Nobody
Speaker 1: can write anything. But anyway, I really didn't learn a
Speaker 1: fucking thing. I was trying to get by. I took
Speaker 1: all my classes on Wednesdays so I could be done
Speaker 1: at nine thirty at night and go back to New
Speaker 1: York City. So I was just trying to get away
Speaker 1: with something. College was paid for for me, one of
Speaker 1: the very you know, few lucky college is paid for
Speaker 1: and I was just trying to jam it all and
Speaker 1: get the credits and get out, get back to New
Speaker 1: York City to go wait for the weekend and have fun,
Speaker 1: go see my boyfriend Being York. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Speaker 1: come back, take all my classes Wednesday. What a scan.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what you know, paying for the dorm
Speaker 1: was or any of that ship. What a spoiled asshole.
Speaker 1: But nobody then it wasn't in the way that like
Speaker 1: it's very in now to go to be to do
Speaker 1: online dating, and back then it was taboo. It wasn't
Speaker 1: in to not go to school. Everybody went to college.
Speaker 1: You'd be like a dope if you didn't go. And
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I think it's worthless if
Speaker 1: you weigh the debt, there's no way it's worth something.
Speaker 1: If you go to Harvard Fund, if you go to Warden,
Speaker 1: the people you're gonna meet. Great, if you go and
Speaker 1: you actually really study and really pay attention and rich
Speaker 1: your life, great. But if you know that you're not
Speaker 1: going to do that, and you know that your kids
Speaker 1: are the types, just go there to get by and
Speaker 1: have a social atmosphere for that many years. Write it
Speaker 1: down on a piece of paper, the amount of money
Speaker 1: and the amount of money you're gonna. Oh, I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's worth it. It wasn't worth it for Paul.
Speaker 1: It wasn't worth it for me. So while I was
Speaker 1: thinking my uh employed driver Alton his son, I was thinking,
Speaker 1: are you a dope? He's not gonna have an employed
Speaker 1: a college diploma? What if it doesn't work out? I thought,
Speaker 1: I've talked to Paul about I thought about it overnight.
Speaker 1: I thought about what I've talked to Mark Cuban about
Speaker 1: in different people. I woke up, I texted him. I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think, You're right, I said, but
Speaker 1: you don't want to have him be a dope. Make
Speaker 1: sure he's taking classes. Make sure he's taking community classes.
Speaker 1: You make sure he doesn't get any of that money
Speaker 1: from what he's being paid to go pro like as
Speaker 1: a young pro, like a New York League, you know,
Speaker 1: not like he's going off to play for you know,
Speaker 1: the World Cup soccer or whatever. I said, make sure
Speaker 1: he's taking classes and you hold him accountable that he's
Speaker 1: taking classes online. And it made me realize how valuable
Speaker 1: online learning is. Like you could go through why is
Speaker 1: an online learning? Go through college online if you can't
Speaker 1: afford it, do online classes, trade schools. If you know
Speaker 1: exactly what you want to do, or no, three things
Speaker 1: you want to do, go learn a couple of different trades.
Speaker 1: It just feels like going to college and spending all
Speaker 1: this money. It could be like up to hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars a year to learn. You know, I don't know
Speaker 1: about I've never seen the employee. I've never seen the
Speaker 1: diplomas for any of the girls at work for me,
Speaker 1: and I've never even read the resumes. And if they
Speaker 1: didn't have the where they went to school, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: even care. So, you know, I know assistance that are
Speaker 1: going on to make a lot of money, and I
Speaker 1: know people who just get in the kitchen. You want
Speaker 1: to be a chief, get in the kitchen Bobby Flay style.
Speaker 1: You don't even need to go to culinary school. I went.
Speaker 1: It gave me confidence. It was great. Get in the
Speaker 1: goddamn kitchen. If you want to work for someone, you
Speaker 1: want to work in a business, get in their kitchen.
Speaker 1: Learn how to trade stocks, learn how to you know,
Speaker 1: work in the media, learn how to do pr learn.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know what. I really am
Speaker 1: getting more and more strongly against this. Unless you are
Speaker 1: going to go to Wharton and you're gonna make incredible
Speaker 1: relationships like form great relationships, go to Harvard, gonna be
Speaker 1: a doctor, gonna be get your n b A. You
Speaker 1: need something that that college provides. Of course, otherwise, I
Speaker 1: just don't know. You're gonna be a psychologist. Great, I
Speaker 1: just don't know. Otherwise. TikTok is becoming the real wild,
Speaker 1: wild fucking West. Random people they're just put on pause
Speaker 1: for days. Their videos don't post because they're posting about
Speaker 1: some plastic surgery or something. Other people are doing hate
Speaker 1: speech and bullying. It's a fucking wild wild West. I'm
Speaker 1: doubling down on Facebook and Instagram. Okay, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you why. Viewser down and follows her down. And the
Speaker 1: value of TikTok followers is not as high as they
Speaker 1: are on Instagram. The actual views, followers, et cetera are
Speaker 1: way more valuable. I didn't know that Instagram came in
Speaker 1: and kicked snapchats, asked once it knew it had to
Speaker 1: go do stories. Instagram's coming in with reels. They're gonna
Speaker 1: kick TikTok's asked because now they know who they have
Speaker 1: to copy and be better. They've got more money. Facebook
Speaker 1: is for I know, dinosaurs. It still has millions of
Speaker 1: people on million and millions more than than TikTok. So,
Speaker 1: while we all like with the new kid in the
Speaker 1: new popular kid in school, just know that you have
Speaker 1: to pay attention to all these social media apps and
Speaker 1: that they have tremendous resources and money, and that Meta
Speaker 1: who owned Facebook and Instagram have way more money than
Speaker 1: TikTok so. Just think about that. Just think about that.
