Speaker 1: Okay, So the summer has started for me, and I
Speaker 1: bought a house on the beach in the Hamptons, and
Speaker 1: I'm feeling so grateful. I'm feeling so grateful. There aren't
Speaker 1: enough things that make me stop when I'm doing them
Speaker 1: and say thank you to myself, to universe, like in
Speaker 1: a very spiritual centered way. And yoga's like that. If
Speaker 1: I finish a yoga practice, I will say thank you.
Speaker 1: It's like the nam a stay of it all. And
Speaker 1: it sounds cheesy, but it's not even something I tell
Speaker 1: myself to do or something that is because of the
Speaker 1: end of a practice. It's because it's what I feel.
Speaker 1: So I finish yoga and I'm like grateful to myself
Speaker 1: in the universe. And it happens when I go on
Speaker 1: a nature walk, but it really happens when I go
Speaker 1: in to be So I really don't exercise, and it's
Speaker 1: not like phishing for compliments because I know that people
Speaker 1: think I exercise a lot because it's always this. It's
Speaker 1: always this, like you know, it's usually mad's men and women,
Speaker 1: but like, oh my god, you must work out all
Speaker 1: the time, Like you work out NonStop? What's your workout?
Speaker 1: I'm like I don't really work out, and then wait what,
Speaker 1: And then it's a whole conversation back and forth, and
Speaker 1: then I say, like I walk on the beach when
Speaker 1: I can, and I feel like I'm lying because it's
Speaker 1: such a I get that I look fairly in shape,
Speaker 1: you know, fit. I think that that's from years ago
Speaker 1: of maybe spinning and yoga, or maybe it's genetics. I
Speaker 1: mean people would say it's genetics, but I think it's
Speaker 1: a combination. And I have a good relationship with exercise,
Speaker 1: meaning if I don't do it every day, well that's
Speaker 1: a joke. Like some people have a bad relationship where
Speaker 1: they are counting. I was sitting with this guy yesterday,
Speaker 1: and I have a friend who's the same, Like they
Speaker 1: count their steps and they're obsessive about it, and then
Speaker 1: they count the calories they get with the steps, and
Speaker 1: of course you would eat five bites of cake and
Speaker 1: have the calories back. And I just feel like it's
Speaker 1: all a bad relationship with exercise and food and calories
Speaker 1: and all that. It's like super noisy, I call it.
Speaker 1: So for me, I like to have a good relationship
Speaker 1: with not only food but exercise also in that when
Speaker 1: it's like, do what you can when you can. And
Speaker 1: for me, my favorite thing to do is beach walk
Speaker 1: And during the summer, I make an effort and I
Speaker 1: drive to the beach and as much as I can,
Speaker 1: I do it. If it's chilly or windy, I don't,
Speaker 1: or sometimes you don't want to drag yourself to go.
Speaker 1: If I'm away on a vacation in summer warm, I'll
Speaker 1: make sure I walk on the beach every day. If
Speaker 1: I go snowboarding, I'll make sure I try to snowboard
Speaker 1: a couple of days. But I haven't had a really consistent,
Speaker 1: like all year round exercise regimen in years. And I
Speaker 1: also think the past couple of years, I think I've
Speaker 1: been not I haven't been unhappy, but I haven't been
Speaker 1: like fully happy. I've been in a little bit of
Speaker 1: like purgatory. And I feel like when you're not fully happy,
Speaker 1: you don't always realize it, because when you're miserable, you
Speaker 1: realize it, and when you're really happy, you realize it.
Speaker 1: But when you're kind of just like going through the motions,
Speaker 1: and you sometimes think is it your age, is it
Speaker 1: that we're boring, is it that you're married, or whatever?
Speaker 1: The thing is so I think it also always it
Speaker 1: affects exercise, and you're like, it's like almost like a
Speaker 1: low grade or middle grade depression. It's not clinically depressed.
Speaker 1: You're just a little blah. So I haven't had an
Speaker 1: exercise practice in kind of years besides these beach walks,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And so around the time my mother passed away,
Speaker 1: I started doing these nature walks in my in my
Speaker 1: neighborhood in Connecticut, and I've felt good about it, and
Speaker 1: I've been longing for the summer because that's when I
Speaker 1: do my beach walks. And I was on a beach
Speaker 1: walk with britt at the end of last summer or
Speaker 1: in the middle of last summer, and I said, one day,
Speaker 1: something's gonna happen in my business, or Mommy, I'll have
Speaker 1: something happen and we'll be able to get a beach house.
Speaker 1: Because some people want to be on the water, which
Speaker 1: is great. People are boat people, which is also great.
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily care about either of those. I care
Speaker 1: about sand, like a walkable beach that's obviously on the water,
Speaker 1: so you could walk on the beach and I'd have
Speaker 1: to drive. And that's like my therapy it's just a dream.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some people I've been in a
Speaker 1: relationships with people who don't even like their feet touching
Speaker 1: the sand. They don't like to walk on the sand,
Speaker 1: And to me, it's like what. Or people who live
Speaker 1: near the beach and then they walk on like a
Speaker 1: boardwalk or cement, I'm like what, because I just feel
Speaker 1: that your feet touching the earth like it's proven to
Speaker 1: be therapeutic. And I think there's like I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's called ions or something from the water in
Speaker 1: the ocean. So I said this to Brin in the summer,
Speaker 1: I said, I one of these days, meaning years to come.
Speaker 1: So I would look at the middle of the night
Speaker 1: and I would look up listings anywhere from Westhampton, which
Speaker 1: is like the closest to New York City, but not
Speaker 1: where all my friends and people I know live all
Speaker 1: the way out to Montalk, which I don't want to
Speaker 1: live in Montalk or Eastampton Ramagansta because it's so far
Speaker 1: from New York City. So it's like limited, and the
Speaker 1: Hampdens is a fortune beyond and being on the water
Speaker 1: and being on the beach isn't impossible. So for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'd said this. And days later
Speaker 1: a house came up with a couple that were getting divorced,
Speaker 1: and they like were firesale getting divorced, like wanted to
Speaker 1: get out of it. Real estate. It wasn't bad, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't good. It wasn't like the pandemic where everything
Speaker 1: was overpriced and crazy, but it wasn't like cheap. It
Speaker 1: was just because of interest rates, people weren't really buying,
Speaker 1: so things were just sitting. So I had that in
Speaker 1: my mind. And then you had this house that was
Speaker 1: being sold by this divorced couple and that they needed
Speaker 1: to get rid of it. And I walked into this
Speaker 1: house and it's on miles of sand on the water,
Speaker 1: and it's like it's right by the opening of the
Speaker 1: ocean and the water's moving and it's clean, and it's
Speaker 1: like a sand beach, like it's a real sand beach.
Speaker 1: And I went to the house and it had problems.
Speaker 1: And I love a house that has problems because I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not I love doing work. I'm not afraid
Speaker 1: to do work, and I have vision, so I immediately know,
Speaker 1: and that's when you can get a good deal, make
Speaker 1: a good investment. Like you go in and buy something
Speaker 1: that's like a you know, McMansion and perfect. Obviously there's
Speaker 1: no money to be made because they're charging top dollar.
Speaker 1: It's turnkey. So my house manager, Garrett, who found it,
Speaker 1: is also a real estate broker, and I looked him
Speaker 1: and I know he's gonna get a good commission. He's
Speaker 1: a young kid, he's like in his twenties. I go, listen,
Speaker 1: you want to do this. You promised me this thing
Speaker 1: I'll be done by by the spring. And it ended
Speaker 1: up being a gut renovation like plumbing and kitchen and everything.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, the last thing I love my house
Speaker 1: in the Hampton's. It's a great house in New Hampton.
Speaker 1: It's the last thing I needed. I just bought a
Speaker 1: place in New York City. I just bought a place
Speaker 1: in Florida. The last thing I needed was to buy
Speaker 1: another place in the Hampton's. But I was like, I'll
Speaker 1: never my whole life get on the beach. I'll never
Speaker 1: get on the beach. This is like a weird, magical
Speaker 1: unicorn house. And I was like, am I dreaming? I
Speaker 1: keep thinking there's like a dead body or like cocaine
Speaker 1: under the floorboards, like why and I'm in this house
Speaker 1: and I literally this morning was I woke up and
Speaker 1: I six o'clock in the morning, I was on the
Speaker 1: beach walking in pajamas because it's also private. There's no
Speaker 1: one there. I'm in such shock right now. My life
Speaker 1: has got made like I literally you could go take
Speaker 1: every watch, piece of jewelry, everything I own, leave myself
Speaker 1: and my daughter to paddleboards and some you know, some
Speaker 1: hydration packets and the freaking house in the Hampton's on
Speaker 1: the beach. It's all that I need in my life. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm in shock. So I have a house in the
Speaker 1: Hamplets on the sand. I'm freaking out every day. I
Speaker 1: need to talk to new people because I have to
Speaker 1: tell new people like I can't say. Every day I'm like,
Speaker 1: is this real? A mine of dream? What's happening? How
Speaker 1: is this real? And the house is stunning? Like this
Speaker 1: is I did it, and I nailed it. It was
Speaker 1: exactly all the problems I made into intentional. I love
Speaker 1: home design, but I'm just and I feel like resentful
Speaker 1: to have to leave there, like I just anybody wants
Speaker 1: me to do anything, I'm like, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: a violation canceled a trip to go to Belmont Steaks
Speaker 1: in Saratoga, felt like offensive to think about having to leave.
Speaker 1: Canceled a trip to Sanchrope find me on the beach. Honestly,
Speaker 1: it's all I want.
Speaker 2: My dream has come true.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about Chanel. Might If you're living
Speaker 1: under a rock, you might not have heard about it.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I don't know anybody who hasn't heard
Speaker 1: about it. Everyone comes up to me and stops.
Speaker 2: Very much Chanel.
Speaker 1: So I was in Chicago last week. It feels like
Speaker 1: ten years ago because it's been five hundred videos, but
Speaker 1: I was in Chicago last week and I was in
Speaker 1: playing clothes. I was I got to Chicago to do
Speaker 1: a speaking engagement the following day, and I was having
Speaker 1: dinner with a friend on the fight. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to get there early enough. And it's that thing where
Speaker 1: you check into the hotel but like, you're not you
Speaker 1: didn't bring a whole other outfit. It's not a full day,
Speaker 1: and what are you gonna do. You don't have a massage,
Speaker 1: you're not going down to the spa. I guess a
Speaker 1: lot of people would work out. I was like, I
Speaker 1: want to walk. I just want to see and we
Speaker 1: weren't staying right in the middle of the city, which
Speaker 1: we had changed at the last minute, and I was
Speaker 1: sort of like a little annoyed by that because we're
Speaker 1: out of the way. So I said, let me just
Speaker 1: see where we are. And I'm already gross from the plane,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna it's eighty degrees in Chicago's so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get gross. So I'm not gonna change. Not that
Speaker 1: I had anything to change into anyway I look like,
Speaker 1: but I didn't make myself look cute. I I was
Speaker 1: off the plane wearing a T shirt and Jean Cargo
Speaker 1: soft pants, and I had like a cashmere sweater that
Speaker 1: I'd had for the plane that was on my waist
Speaker 1: that had a water per like water bottle, and I
Speaker 1: had gone to do the lord's work at Garrett's Popcorn
Speaker 1: and so I was just walking, just walking, wanted to get,
Speaker 1: you know, some steps in and then passed the Chanel
Speaker 1: store and I saw something in the window that I
Speaker 1: had seen online, this like striped T shirt dress, and
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see what it looked like inside,
Speaker 1: and so I saw it right through the door, like
Speaker 1: there's a display right through the door. So I just
Speaker 1: wanted to go and he's like, look at it and
Speaker 1: then leave, and I there was just a dismissiveness by
Speaker 1: the man by the door. And now that I remember,
Speaker 1: I think he was a younger person. I'm not even
Speaker 1: gonna blame him. We'll get into that after, but I
Speaker 1: want to make sure because I don't know who that
Speaker 1: person is, and I didn't know this was going to be.
Speaker 1: You know, it's probably it's definitely over, like fifty million,
Speaker 1: could be one hundred million views on all the platforms.
Speaker 1: It's bananas. What went on? So I walk up to
Speaker 1: the front door and the guy doesn't fully you know,
Speaker 1: when like someone comes to answer the door, like it's
Speaker 1: girlscot cookies or they're selling encyclopedias or something, or like
Speaker 1: vacuums in the fifties and you open the door literally
Speaker 1: like hi, and you like bend over, lene over. So
Speaker 1: the guy was like, hi, do you have an appointment?
Speaker 1: Not a person outside online, not a person inside. I
Speaker 1: was looking there was I didn't see one person. Of course,
Speaker 1: there could have been people on the other floors, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I've seen when it's crazy. It was
Speaker 1: not so the guy goes, hey, do you have an appointment?
Speaker 1: I said no, and he said, yeah, you have to
Speaker 1: have an appointment. There's like I'm paraphrasing, but it was
Speaker 1: pretty much, yes, you have to have an appointment. Sorry,
Speaker 1: but like super dismissive. And there was just something about
Speaker 1: it that was demoralizing and degrading. And I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't like I don't care, but there was just
Speaker 1: something about the way that they think that they can
Speaker 1: speak to you because there's been this whole superiority complex
Speaker 1: with luxury brands. That's really the headline. Like luxury brands
Speaker 1: have become this like you I'm up here, you're down here.
Speaker 1: You're we're better than you. You have to be on
Speaker 1: a list, you have to go buy things to bait
Speaker 1: us and to you know, they call Burke and bit
Speaker 1: like there's a whole gamification of watches and bags and
Speaker 1: it's like, wait, my money's not good here. So I
Speaker 1: just ranted about it on the street. I look like
Speaker 1: a mess and I did not. I just was talking.
Speaker 1: I had no idea this would be like this, like
Speaker 1: but it was like, I look like the lighting wasn't good.
Speaker 1: I realized that I had a stupid filter on like
Speaker 1: why this went crazy? It just like hit nerve. It
Speaker 1: struck a chord. And this video of me talking about
Speaker 1: this guy and how he spoke to me, So this
Speaker 1: thing starts going viral. Okay, Wow, I've a viral video.
Speaker 1: I've had viral videos before, but it's flying. Okay. So
Speaker 1: the next day I do the appearance and I'm dressed decked,
Speaker 1: and it just so happens that I'm wearing a very
Speaker 1: Chanel centric outfit, Like it's just the black and the
Speaker 1: white and the gold and the whole thing. It's just
Speaker 1: what I packed. It's weird that I pack that. Very strange.
Speaker 1: So the next day I get glam and I'm going
Speaker 1: to this appearance, which is thirty minutes out away from Chanelle,
Speaker 1: away from a city closer to the airport. So we
Speaker 1: finished the appearance, and my assistants like, we have to
Speaker 1: double back if you want to go to Chanelle, because
Speaker 1: I told her earlier we should go back to Chanelle
Speaker 1: and I should see if I could get in dressed
Speaker 1: like this, if they're gonna be if it's gonna be different.
Speaker 1: So she's like, you have to double back. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't care. We're going to Chanel, so we double back.
Speaker 1: We don't have a ton of time, and I get
Speaker 1: out of the car and I just talk to my
Speaker 1: audience and say, like yesterday I was hearing this happened,
Speaker 1: and if they let me in because of what I
Speaker 1: look like, Christmas is canceled. So I come out, I
Speaker 1: tell my assistant to stand back, and I go walk
Speaker 1: up to the front. There are three security guys, which
Speaker 1: there weren't the day before, because I had done a
Speaker 1: summarization of the day before, clarifying for people that it
Speaker 1: wasn't because of crime per se. Maybe it's because of
Speaker 1: crime that they have appointments. But being rude and dismissive,
Speaker 1: you could say that three different ways. You could have
Speaker 1: said you have to have an appointment. I'm so sorry, Jane.
Speaker 1: You can talk to her at these hours, like there's
Speaker 1: a way to say something, which is a lesson in
Speaker 1: life anyway, by the way, and I've made that mistake myself.
Speaker 1: There are multiple ways to say something. I could think
Speaker 1: exactly of the example in my mind of me not
Speaker 1: saying something right and it being a disaster for me.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you could too. So we've all made this
Speaker 1: mistake but it was the way that it was set
Speaker 1: and the way that it made me feel, and it
Speaker 1: started a lot of people started talking about their perspective
Speaker 1: and how they feel. So the next day I go
Speaker 1: up and there are three security guards outside and they
Speaker 1: don't It doesn't seem like they know who I am,
Speaker 1: which is good. I'm not asking for special treatment. I
Speaker 1: don't think someone should know who I am. This is
Speaker 1: just me being a human being, so either way, so
Speaker 1: I guess they said something to somebody inside, and then
Speaker 1: they let me in. I walk in past them for
Speaker 1: a nanosecond, make a U turn, come right back out.
Speaker 1: I'm like a little different today. So that breaks the Internet.
Speaker 1: That goes viral, and then the press starts picking up
Speaker 1: all of it, and then I'm engaging with the audience
Speaker 1: and I'm in shock by what this is doing. This
Speaker 1: is crazy. So then I shoot with my assistant and
Speaker 1: some strangers in a parking lot, a scene recreating the
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts Big Mistake. Huge. Well, then I go off
Speaker 1: and it's now a series, and now we are peeing
Speaker 1: our pants, crying, and everything is making us think of this,
Speaker 1: and everything is a creative idea, and we start this
Speaker 1: like Chanelle skit series on Instagram and TikTok, and the
Speaker 1: thing has been so psychotic, it's been the views have
Speaker 1: been psychotic, like insane, and it's an inside joke and
Speaker 1: everyone except for a few people are laughing. But I
Speaker 1: mean people are crying. It's just so entirely unnecessary. It's
Speaker 1: there are no stakes, it's not hurting anybody, and and
Speaker 1: it's it's gone on and on and on for what's
Speaker 1: almost a week, and then some people are so mad.
Speaker 1: They're just so mad enough they're following me, they're taking
Speaker 1: the time to comment enough now okay, mom. Like people
Speaker 1: are so irritated by it, and it's because it's viral,
Speaker 1: so it's bothering them. Like people get really crazy on
Speaker 1: social media when someone else goes viral, particularly on TikTok,
Speaker 1: it makes them very upset. There's one girl on TikTok
Speaker 1: who like bought her own house in the Hamptons and
Speaker 1: she's young, and you never saw people more angry. They're
Speaker 1: just all angry at her because like why not me?
Speaker 1: Like pick me? And it's just people get mad and
Speaker 1: they're just so transparent, like let's do an investigative report,
Speaker 1: deep dive on Bethany and why she keeps talking about
Speaker 1: Chanelle You fucking crazy? Why because it's hysterical?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: Why because it's so hysterical, Like what else is there
Speaker 1: to do? What else is there to do but laugh,
Speaker 1: have fun, not take yourself seriously. And it's just creative.
Speaker 1: And I love creativity, and I love skits, and I
Speaker 1: love comedy, and I love satire and I love parody
Speaker 1: and I just love humor and I love comedians and
Speaker 1: I love just wackiness. So it's been amazing. That the
Speaker 1: best time ever. Like we're crying,
