1 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, guys, I was not expecting this 2 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: kind of response with Sports Illustrated. There are a couple 3 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: of things I really do want to flag about this experience. 4 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: One is I had peripherally seen different people do Sports 5 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: Illustrated in book, like I know that Gail King did 6 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: it and Martha and I'm aware of some of the 7 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: different people that have walked, and I don't understand the 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: brand fully. I just know that over the years they 9 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: pushed the envelope with people like Kathy Ireland, I think 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: Kate Upton, like I remember when it went curvier wasn't 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: as traditional and it's evolved. But with the exception of 12 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: Martha and Gail, I don't remember they're really being a 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: big age range. But you wouldn't see them walking in 14 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: a show. And I asked someone on my team multiple 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: times about Sports Illustrated and their response was, which we 16 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: have in writing, was that people see me all the 17 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: time in a bathing suit, and Sports Illustrated, you know, 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: isn't interested in me. They wouldn't want me, and I 19 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: later found out they hadn't even pitched me. And you know, 20 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: you can't hit a home run if you don't step 21 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: up to the plate. So someone on my team that 22 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: was a new person did pitch me and got me 23 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: to walk in the show. I showed up in Miami 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: not knowing what to expect. I didn't understand what it 25 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: meant to walk. I've only walked in one fashion show 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: in my life, in Paris Laurel Paris Fashion Week. I 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: walked in four inch platform giraffe shoes. 28 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: I owned it. I loved it. 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: I had fun, which is what I was told to do. 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm worth it, It's Lorel. But I was made fun 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: of by some people because of my walk, and I 32 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: felt self conscious because I chose those shoes. But I 33 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: just did what I wanted to do. And I also 34 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: like leaned into it, just that I did what I wanted. 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: But I was not in my head, but I thought, like, 36 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: what is my walk going to be this time? 37 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: It's no shoes, et cetera. 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: And I'm mentally prepared, I physically prepared, but I looked 39 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: pretty much the way that I always do in a 40 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: bathing suit. I'm overall healthy, I have a balance. I'll 41 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: talk in more detail about that next time we talk 42 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: and get into like more granular about eating and exercise 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: and all these things and really be like, how did 44 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: I prepare? I'll do that for you, but emotionally, how 45 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: did I prepare? I set myself up for success. I 46 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: wasn't really drinking. I was trying self care and I'm 47 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: in my era of wellness and of me and doing 48 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: saunas and taking walks and trying to be healthy more 49 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: than like the physical appearance, meaning that like calorie restriction, 50 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: person just be healthy. And when I walked down that runway, 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: I was just being me. I didn't even know that 52 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: I did well. I messaged somewhere for my team in 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: between walks to say any notes, because for all I knew, 54 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: I made a fool of myself. It's hard to figure 55 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: out what to do, like you're moving too much, you 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: dance it too much? Are you're doing too much? Do 57 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: you look thirsty and you awkward? Or you bore it? 58 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: Like so I just didn't care about any of it. 59 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: I just walked and I just danced. 60 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: I just had fun, like I had fun and I'm 61 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: happy in general, I'm happy. And the reason I know 62 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: I'm happy is because I'm flying on Spirit Airlines the 63 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: other day coach and blow whatever, and I'm happy. I'm 64 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: stuck in an airport and I'm happy. I'm like in 65 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: a car in a prolonged traffic drive and I'm happy. 66 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm generally speaking stressed out because I'm going through a 67 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: terrible move that is extraordinarily stressful, but I'm overall very settled, 68 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: very happy. I'm not looking or desperate about meeting anyone 69 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: because I'm happy, Like I'm not like hunting and looking. 70 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: I'm just happy. It just it feels different inside. And 71 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: my one of my close friends, Alex, I was on 72 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: the phone with her and she was one of the 73 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: few people that was like, I know, it's what you 74 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: looked like, but she's like, but it's what you were like. 75 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: It's that you were just you didn't give a shit. 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: You never give a shit when anyone thinks, but you 77 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: just were happy. You owned it. And that's what it is. 78 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't give a shit. I was happy. I do 79 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: end did things my way, and that's an age thing, 80 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: that's a liberating thing. I had no idea that this 81 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: walk was going to open up a world for girls 82 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: younger than I am to say like, we're not done, 83 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: we have not peaked yet, and to open up a 84 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: world for women older than I am to be like, 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: why are we like counted out, Like we're disregarded, like 86 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: we're washed up, we're old, we're over Like we get 87 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: to have fun, we get to be alive, we get 88 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: to Everyone doesn't have to look exactly the way that 89 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: I looked at my bathing suit. Everyone doesn't have to 90 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 1: wear a thong. I'm an extreme example on that runway 91 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: on that day with hair and makeup snatching and all 92 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: the stuff to set me up. 93 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: Well. 94 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I've seen the girls in person. They look 95 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: different when they're on the runway. We are all lit 96 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: to perfection. You've got to have that confidence. You got 97 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: your makeup done. You know you're spending money on the situation. 98 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: You got a bathing suit on, that's dramatic. I don't 99 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: normally wear a g stern. I've never wanted gestern in 100 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: my life. I've never won a thong to the beach. 101 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 1: I just went out there and just said, let's just 102 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: own this shit. I did not know that I was 103 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: thought of as old. I did not know that it 104 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: would break the internet that I walked the runway like myself, 105 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: like I dance in the bathroom. No oh, idea, that 106 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: cottage cheese would be sold out globally. What an absurd statement. 107 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: Globally there's a tomato shortage turkey. All these recipes I make, 108 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: I've been making recipes like this for years. I was 109 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: eating cottage cheese in the beginning of the pandemic. I 110 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: made cottage cheese famous. In the beginning of the pandemic. 111 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: I was offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to work 112 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: for this cottage cheese company to promote them, but I 113 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 1: couldn't because there was a conflict of interest. I had 114 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: a cottage cheese conflict because of an X of mine 115 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: whose family was in the dairy business. I mean, it's ridiculous, 116 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: but you know what, that just shows like life is 117 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: about living. 118 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: I lived it. 119 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: I did it my way, on my terms. I didn't 120 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: have any blueprint of what the Hella walk is supposed 121 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: to be. I didn't do it in the overly serious 122 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: way that Chris Appleton told me to in my like 123 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: give the fierce walk. I'm not a model. I just 124 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: walked down and said, Hi, this is me. I'm gonna 125 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: make this runway, may bitch. That's what someone told me 126 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: to do. So I had the best time. It was liberating. 127 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: I thanks where it's illustrated. I thank people, and it 128 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: just shows that the world h will meet you where 129 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: you're at, and you never know. And you never count 130 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: a woman out, not at seventy, not at eighty, and 131 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: out at ninety. 132 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: Do not count a woman out. 133 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: Everybody has their own clock, their own rules, their own looks, 134 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: their own journey, their own fitness revelations, their own food discoveries. 135 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: And you do you, you do you bo, So let's 136 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: fucking go. Whether you're nineteen or ninety, do you rock 137 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: the thong if you want to, if it's what you 138 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: want to do. No one's gonna tell you where your 139 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: boundaries are. Because if I listen to that person who 140 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: told me that it wasn't for me, or the person 141 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: who told me on my team that TikTok wasn't for 142 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: me it was for eight year olds, I would have 143 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: limited myself. And my life has changed drastically as a 144 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: result of both things. And guess what, don't let somebody 145 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: put guardrails and boundaries on you. You could put guardrails on you. 146 00:06:50,200 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: Don't let anybody else put boundaries on you. I have 147 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: bought and I'm almost moved into my house in Florida, 148 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: and it is such a cycle of change. Leaving Connecticut 149 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: was like leaving the wrong relationship for me. It was 150 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: something that on paper was good. It was something that 151 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: I intellectually thought that I should be happy about. It 152 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: is something that I fantasized about. It is something that 153 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: I wanted. It is something that looks so good on 154 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: the outside. It is something that was a flex. I 155 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: lived in a major compound that the governor lived in 156 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: this house in Greenwich, Connecticut, which is a flex. I 157 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: was in relationships that seem like a flex. But you 158 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: know when on the inside it feels wrong. It just 159 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: didn't feel right. And if you don't love it, you 160 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: don't like it. If it doesn't feel right, it's wrong. 161 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: If it's not yes, it's no. And not until I 162 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: was able to take an opening, find an opening, like 163 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: I moved so fast when something happened in my personal 164 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: life to be able to get britt into a school, 165 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: list my one house and sell it, buy another house 166 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: within a week, like I went onto the amazing race 167 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: of real estate. I fucking hauled ass and just got 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: in there and got it done. And I am a wreck. 169 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: I can't believe I have done so much. I can't 170 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: believe I did sports illustrated. I can't believe I'm going 171 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: to Europe next week for a work trip. I can't 172 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: believe the machine that I am and the things that 173 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: I've been able to get done, like getting myself out 174 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: of what ended up being like a ten thousand square 175 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: foot house, delegating that, working on that, getting the movers 176 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: moving everything. Now I'm basically virtually dealing with putting everything 177 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: away in the new house in Florida, got the new 178 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: house renovated, got the old house done, got my house 179 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: updated in the Hamptons to be able to get that 180 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: to sell. But like I do, real estate in bursts, 181 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: and it's insane. It's insane. It was March nineteenth. I 182 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: just I was moving. By the next week, I had 183 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: a house in Florida, in addition to my apartment. I 184 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: had sold my house in the Hamptons. I had not 185 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: even listed my house in the Connecticut, but told a 186 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: broker to find me a buyer, found a buyer, and 187 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: now three months later, I've closed on two house sales, 188 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: one purchase, and this week will be fully moved into 189 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: the new house. It's wild, and I now have a 190 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: place in New York City that I really leaned out 191 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: because I knew that I was gonna have a lot 192 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: of stuff coming from that property in Connecticut into it. 193 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: I have my place in the Hamptons, which I moved 194 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: into last year, which is now set and forget. It's 195 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: in the beach and it's like ready for the summer. 196 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: I have an apartment in Miami, same thing, streamlined, it 197 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: finalized the design. I've showed you guys on social media, 198 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: but now it's like crisp and clean because a lot 199 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: of stuff came from my house in Connecticut there too, 200 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: so it's been like a circular reference of stuff. 201 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: It's maddening. 202 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: This place in Florida is locked getting sorted and like 203 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: all of my systems are set to forget and to 204 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: have the healthy summer of a lifetime. The Sports Illustrated 205 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: Experience basically embarked me on a wellness era, like vitamins 206 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: and being healthy. And the thing is, everybody saw me 207 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: on that runway and it broke the internet because everyone thought, like, wow, 208 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: look at this body, which is the same body I've 209 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: had for years. 210 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 2: And I didn't know. 211 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: It was a big deal, and I didn't know my 212 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: age was going to be such a big deal, and 213 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know this was going to break the internet. 214 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 1: This has been crazy. People were buying tomatoes like it's 215 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: their job because of my supermodel snacks. But what's funny 216 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: is because everybody started speculating on everything I was doing 217 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: to be healthy, it perpetuated me actually being more healthy. 218 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: I was eating coconut cake and drinking alcohol and doing 219 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: all the things. But when everybody started to like look 220 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: at me and like make me this spokesperson for health 221 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: and body, it made me lean more into it and 222 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: like live in that be Like, Okay, I want to 223 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: be this.

And I've loved watching people not talk about 225 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: their weight but talk about health, Like people start eating 226 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: healthy snacks and doing meal plans and caring for what 227 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: they're eating and being intentional and making these supermodel snacks 228 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: look so gourmet and drizzling them with balsamic glaze and 229 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: hot honey and sea salt like pride and food. And 230 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: it's made me so inspired to make more interesting things 231 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: and post recipes every day and like it's a self 232 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: fulfilling prophecy. I'm loving watching people use my recipes and 233 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 1: be intentional and be healthy. 234 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: And I love that. 235 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: That's what I'm putting forward and not putting forward some 236 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: like diet hack tricks. I'm putting forward like spaghetti squash 237 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: with vegetable saute recipes, or it's interesting, it's not expensive, 238 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: it looks gourmet, and it gets people excited to be 239 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: in their kitchens and make these creations. It's really I'm 240 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: so excited to be that kind of influencer right now 241 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: because it's like so for good. 242 00:11:58,679 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: It's so for good. 243 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: So I want to discuss something that's getting insane. I 244 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: was talking to my friend. I said to her, like, 245 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: my kid needs an assistant at this point, like her activities, 246 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: her preseason sports, her middle of the summer tryouts. Like 247 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: we're moving down to Florida, for example, we have to 248 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: do like four trips down there during the summer in 249 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: preparation for the next year of like sports and activities 250 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: and testing and all this stuff. And like I was 251 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: talking to my friend, I go, what the fuck is 252 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: going on? So yesterday I was walking on the beach 253 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: and I was talking to my girlfriend and she goes, 254 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm on my way to Texas. I go, why She 255 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: goes because I have to go to for orientation. Last 256 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: week it was I have to do something for tryouts 257 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: for sports. I invited Brince Brent to come on a 258 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: boat in Europe, and she can't because lacrosse and the 259 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: summer schedule, and if she doesn't keep up with the 260 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 1: summer schedule of lacrosse, she'll fall behind in the fall 261 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: schedule of lacrosse. So the kid doesn't get to come 262 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 1: on a once in a lifetime trip in Europe on 263 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: a yacht because of some lacrosse schedule. So then my 264 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: friends are like, do you want to do something in August. 265 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, I can't. Why I have to go to 266 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: Florida in the dead of summer two weeks before August 267 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: twentieth when school starts. So now the beginning of August, 268 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: I have to go down there for tryouts for preseason. 269 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: You don't go there, you don't make it. 270 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: I also remember, like she has to go down another 271 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: time because of some placement testing. So what I'm getting 272 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: at is what the fuck is going on? It used 273 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: to be when I was growing up that like summer started, 274 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: when school was out. There's a song School's out for summer. 275 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: You got on a bicycle. You open the goddamn door. 276 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: It was free range parenting. You were in the sprinklers. 277 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: You were lucky enough if you got to go to 278 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: a pool. But we were playing and free all summer long. 279 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: Because what goes on during the year is insane. These 280 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: kids have breakdowns, they're all on adderall, they're all gonna 281 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: be on antidepressants, they're all on anxiety meds. Why because 282 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: they're overscheduled, overactivated, over stimulated. Because the competition is fierce. 283 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: My daughter had a friend wasn't allowed to do sports 284 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: because they didn't get straight a's what But don't worry. 285 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: The sports are more stressful than the school for straight 286 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: a's because the sports it's psychotic. You're not allowed to 287 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: miss more than two practices. You can't miss a game, 288 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: And don't worry, they'll be scheduled Thanksgiving weekend or President's 289 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: week holiday when the parents want to go away. And 290 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: if the parents dared to have more than one child, 291 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: they're fucked sideways. Because let's say you have three children 292 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: and let's say for whatever reason, they didn't all get 293 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: into the same school, or someone specializes in something and 294 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: is good at science, or someone's good at baseball, and 295 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: they go to different schools. Let's say they all go 296 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: to the same school. The parents have no life because 297 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: every weekend they're OCTOPI pulled in multiple different directions because 298 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: they have to take the kids in different practices and 299 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: different lessons, and it's gonna be ten thousand dollars. I 300 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: don't know how a person who's not rich gets to 301 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: have a child to participate in sports, because school sports 302 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: are no longer enough. Now we've got the side scam 303 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: of the clubs the leagues, which is great and the 304 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: parents love it for team building and discipline. But the 305 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: parents spend their weekends in other cities and shitty hotel rooms, 306 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: sitting and watching the sports. And that's fears and relentless too, 307 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: because you're like a loser if you're not at every one. 308 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: And I could tell you I don't go to every 309 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: single one. I'll go to a couple. I'll tell my 310 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: daughter to choose the ones that are really important to her. 311 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: And then there's one mom that I met who's a 312 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: single mom, and she doesn't get to go, so she 313 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: had to work it out through her community for the 314 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: other mom to take her. But then she pays the 315 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: mom back by making home cooked meals for that mom 316 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,479 Speaker 1: because she probably feels guilty because she's the fucking pariah, 317 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: deadbeat mom that doesn't take her kid every weekend on 318 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: a four hour car trip each way. They come back 319 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: exhaust they want to call on sick Monday because they're exhausted, 320 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: and they're exhausted because these things were obligated. So it 321 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: feels like they've done work, like they've gone to school, 322 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: but they haven't. They've been on a weekend club thing. 323 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: Their bodies are wrecked. They've eaten shit all weekend, and 324 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: they also got no homework done. So now they're trying 325 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: to put twenty five pounds of shit in a five 326 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: pound bag because they get back during the week and 327 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: they can't fucking finish whatever they need to finish for school. 328 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: They're exasperated, they're exhausted. There have been days that I've 329 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: had to take my daughter out on an emotional well 330 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: being day because she's cracking and it's non stop and 331 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: everything's urgent, and it's the snacks, and it's the uniforms, 332 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: and it's the schedules, and it's the banquets. Now they 333 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: have volleyball banquets and it's the team Dinners and we're 334 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: all gonna make hair clips together and we're gonna do 335 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: ten girls and we have to do this. So now 336 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: I have to have a party and they're all going 337 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: fucking broke. Everyone's going fucking broke over the shit and 338 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: the pressure is crazy. But don't worry. There's more if 339 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: they want to go to college. When we were growing up, 340 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: if you had money, you got to go to college. 341 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: If you didn't, you got a scholarship. If you didn't, 342 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: you went local. We just got through. You just went 343 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: to college to get the fuck through and get a 344 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: degree that you're never going to use. Because it's a 345 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: place for kids to park their ass and pretend it's 346 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: where they learn to be independent, which it's not. It's 347 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: a place where they party and sorority and it's another 348 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: status symbol at this point. The schools when I was 349 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: growing up and went to college that were fucking for morons. 350 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: Now because of marketing and endowment funds and boards and 351 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: marketing and marketing and boards and for profit now the dumb, 352 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: dumb schools have been marketed as good schools. And I'm like, wait, 353 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: that was the idiot school that's now a good school 354 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: because somebody decided along the way that's the good school, 355 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: when I'm not even sure that anyone should even go 356 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: to college anymore, because your diploma is to wipe your 357 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: fucking ass and to have a party, and no one 358 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: even learns anything at school unless they can't afford it. 359 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: And they really are grateful enough. And they're the ones 360 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: and the wrong ones, the ones who are in all 361 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: the debt. They're the ones who are actually paying attention. 362 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: The ones who pay and can afford it shouldn't even 363 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 1: be going because they're not even appreciating it, because it's 364 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: the white privileged club of going to college. 365 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: So it's all upside down. Okay, it's all upside down. 366 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: If you want to go to one of these colleges 367 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: to flex to your friends or to have a status 368 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: symbol that your parents can say at the country club 369 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: or the cul de sac where their kids went to school, 370 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: they have to have a curated brand. I'm not trusting 371 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: them to do a lot of things. I still am 372 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: making sure I know what time they get home and 373 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: if they're in my car, I'm not sleeping that night. 374 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: But those individuals have to have a personal brand because 375 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 1: to go to one of these bullshit colleges that used 376 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: to be for dummies but is now marketed for rich 377 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: people to be a good school to get a good job, 378 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: when it's all based on fluff and marshmallows and pomp 379 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 1: and circumstance. To get into that college, you have to 380 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: have a story, have a brand. So what do you 381 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: have to do. You have to do charity, You have 382 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: to check a charity box. You have to take an 383 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: art class. You have to go volunteer in your community 384 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons. You couldn't give a shit about 385 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 1: what you're volunteering for. You're doing it so you have 386 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: a personal brand, and you're taking the art class to 387 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: get into the college. And that art class is why 388 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: your mom has to cut her summer short because she 389 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: has to get you home and make sure you're situated 390 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: in doing all of the things that you need to 391 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: be doing because your mom has to pay to curate 392 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: your personal brand. She's the one telling you that you 393 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: need a personal brand because she needs you to get 394 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: into that college so she can brag to her friends, 395 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 1: or just to be at the baseline, so you're not 396 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: getting bullied for going to a loser school, which is 397 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,959 Speaker 1: in fact a loser school, because the only reason you 398 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: have to do all this shit is because it's like 399 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: buying a Shanell or Arimez bag. It's not based on 400 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: actually a real education for the most part. And there 401 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,719 Speaker 1: are so many douchebags that can pay their way in 402 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: or get to this level because they do have douchey 403 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: parents and therapists to tell them about the personal brand. 404 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 1: That now every rich, privileged white person in America goes 405 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: to these colleges and they don't even get the jobs 406 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: because now it's the land of the hustle and the 407 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: land of the tech billionaire and the internet garage hoodie 408 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: person who's inventing things. And they've overwatched Shark Tank. So 409 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: now that's swollen too, because every young person thinks they're 410 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: an entrepreneur. So then the other half of the douchey 411 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: group is basically not wanting to go to college. They 412 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,479 Speaker 1: want to be an influencer, they want to be on YouTube, 413 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: they want to be mister Beast, and they're all competing 414 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: for the other douchey jobs. That the douchey people that 415 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: had the personal brand and went to the art class 416 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: and took forty six. 417 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 2: Volleyball League entree tests. 418 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: These are all the assholes competing for other assholeism and 419 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 1: none of it's working. And I would like to get 420 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: back to opening the door, kids going outside, riding their 421 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: fucking bikes, relaxing during the summer, everyone taking it down 422 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: and notch parents not saying you don't get to play 423 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: sports because you didn't get straight a's. It's all upside down. 424 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,440 Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. This has now filtered into nobody 425 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: gets to be a poor person having a wedding because 426 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: a middle class, middle class person, the pressure is on. 427 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: They have to have a personal website for their wedding. 428 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: They have to wear multiple dresses, multiple blinged out sweatpants, 429 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: have ninety two bridesmaids. There have to be gifts. Your 430 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: wedding is a brand. Your wedding is a brand. Your 431 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: bridal shower is a brand. The bachelor party is a brand. 432 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: What you're buying everybody is a brand. You have to 433 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: have a before outfit and after out at a shower, 434 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 1: out at, a wedding, outfit, a sweat outfit.

When you get engaged, 437 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: it has to be a production. There has to be 438 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: a camera crew, you have to have friends documenting it. 439 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: Let the brand and website start. I know billionaires who 440 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: didn't have more than one wedding dress, and this wasn't 441 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: that long ago. Everything is a social media, fucking beach 442 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: front garden party, expensive moment that someone's parents are paying for. 443 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 1: My friend who's normal rich person NRP. They're not famous, 444 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,479 Speaker 1: they're not billionaires. I would not tell you what her 445 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: wedding is costing because you would never speak to me again, 446 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: and I almost don't want to speak to her again. 447 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: But it's a fierce hunger games throwing it down the toilet, 448 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: and these kids want these moments that last one night 449 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: long by the fucking house. Even I my wedding back then, 450 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,719 Speaker 1: it was not expensive, not even compared to what's going on. 451 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: It wasn't that expensive. And guess what if Brinn had 452 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 1: a wedding today, it wouldn't be that expensive. If you 453 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: think I would spend these crazy numbers on something going 454 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: down the toilet bowl, you're gravely mistaken. But wait, there's 455 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: more more people that can't afford it, going out and 456 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: spending thousands of dollars on balloon arches and the branded 457 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: kid's birthday party. He's two years old, three years old? 458 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: Are you in to your fucking mind? I didn't spend 459 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 1: that kind of money for my daughter's birthday parties, And 460 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: in fact, I marketed in this way. I'm like, I 461 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: would always lean her towards the pick a couple of friends, 462 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: and we're going to do an experience, so I would 463 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: take them for the cupcake making. Or I once took 464 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 1: them to go to like this denim place and like 465 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: tie die and do denim and got like I don't 466 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: remember if it was pizza or cupcakes. Or I took 467 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: them to not a ferris wheel, like a merry go 468 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: round downtown that has like all these lights and it's 469 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: like looks like you're in like a mermaid tail. It's 470 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: down by Battery Park, and they all got dressed up 471 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: as princesses, and I got them a limo or something 472 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: to take them all. But like that pales in comparison 473 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: to the four thousand dollars balloon arch. Like I got 474 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: them a pink limo. We took them in princess outfits 475 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: and it was like four friends. Another year it was 476 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: a bowling alley. I'm not crying poor or saying that 477 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: I slummed it, but it wasn't crazy. It wasn't as 478 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: expensive as I see people a lot less well to 479 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: do as I am spending money on this bullshit that 480 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 1: is going down the toilet. It's not an investment. It 481 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: goes nowhere. It's the flex one Instagram post. So go 482 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: the Hollywood way. You know what, Hollywood will have a 483 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: shit event in many cases, but if the pictures are 484 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,719 Speaker 1: good and they can blast them out, then it seems 485 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: like they have this big deal. So get your kid 486 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: and a couple of friends and a great floral that's 487 00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,120 Speaker 1: on a table. But to have these elaborate, crazy parties, 488 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: and the Kardashians are the ones who really made this famous, 489 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: like having these flex worthy, social media post worthy parties. 490 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: But they're billionaires.

Every easter is like literally the 492 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 1: fucking actual easter Bunny is real. They're billionaires. Not everyone's 493 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: a billionaire. Everything is over the top. Mack five go broke, 494 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: go into debt for every experience these days, and I'm 495 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: so fucking sick of it.
