Speaker 1 (00:11):
I am late to the mech Gala conversation because I
don't think I've recorded since the met Gala, and we
just have to have the conversation. And it's an evergreen
conversation because it doesn't matter whether it just happened. People
were probably still talking about it. So what is the
met Gala now? Like? What is good style and what
(00:31):
is not? I actually want to know. I mean, I've
said this before that Anna Wintre said someone should be
comfortable in their own style and not look like it's
sort of a costume that they're putting on. You know,
I'm paraphrasing, but it sounded like she thought that someone
should really be comfortable in their own style and what
they're wearing, and so like, what does that even mean?
(00:53):
At this point, Jared Letto was wearing a giant catsuit
like he looked like he was in the Main Day parade.
I've met him. He's so nice. But I don't understand
what is good and bad fashion anymore. I don't. I
don't understand it. Just it was. It was very confusing
(01:14):
to me, and I will say that people were asking
me was I invited? The answer is an emphatic no.
Never been invited. I don't think I ever would be invited,
Although I do think I'm a lot like Anna Wintour.
That doesn't mean she would invite someone much like herself.
But I've read about her and while there are many
(01:34):
negative things that people say about her and you may
say negative things about me, the woman is working before
and after everyone else, and h is unflappable. She is well,
I'm bothered, but she's unflappable. She is tough as nails,
and the work and the product and the perfection comes first.
(01:56):
And I relate to that, I really do. And it's busy,
it's all about the Benjamin's baby. It's just funny that
many of the people they've talked about have, you know,
for years wanted to go, like kind of beg to go,
asked to pay to go. The Kardashians apparently for years
wanted to go and they weren't invited, and they get invited.
It would be embarrassing for me, like to ask so
(02:19):
many times someone to say no and then they finally
invite me like it puts Anna Wintour in such control,
which is amazing. And she is the HBI C And
I wonder if she's just like Oz behind the curtain,
just watching everyone jump through these fucking rings, Like she's
like the circus master and she's watching everyone jump through
(02:40):
hoops for her, laughing at like the antics that like
someone will dress up as like a cat in the
Macy's Day parade or you know, one upping each other
and she's just sitting back dressing very simply to be honest,
And the way that Tom Ford always said he liked
it as a night of elegance. He doesn't like this
sort of pomp and circumstance. But they have to sell
(03:01):
magazines and make money, and it's become a different thing.
And I also think about social media stars. So years
ago reality stars were frowned upon and it was real
actors and real actors, and I know who the actors were,
and I'm thinking this one actress it annoyed her that
(03:23):
reality stars were making more money than many actors and
famous like for what. It bothered them. So now it's
bothering not only actors but also reality stars that influencers
are so famous like for what. It's the same type
of thing. They're not taken as seriously, but in many
(03:43):
ways their audiences are much more massive. In every way.
Their audiences are much more massive. So this year they
weren't invited because many of the actors were annoyed by it.
But he who makes the goal, she who makes the goal,
makes the rules. So TikTok influencers and instagram a g
Answers will be back on the met gala carpet, no question.
(04:04):
You can't argue with the Benjamins. And it was funny
too that, like you could tell that this year and
I didn't invite Chloe and Courtney, and they're like the
two Cinderella sisters that like have to like now sit
in the dusty attic where Kimderella used to sit. It's
just I would absolutely go. I'm not hating on it
(04:25):
because I actually think it's amazing, Like what she's built
and what she's done is really fascinating. And the only
thing that I would find interesting about it, I wouldn't.
I don't need to go. I don't need to sit
at a table, although I would like, you know, network whatever,
I would want to know if I could land the look,
like take a year, I wouldn't want to know. I
(04:48):
would one hundred million percent fucking not only land the look,
but nail the look, like to the fucking ground like
I would nail the look, because when I got to
do something, I nail it would I would nail it.
It would be daunting and nerve wracking and exhausting, but
I would fucking do it. I would land it. I
(05:21):
just want to say that I love the Megan Trainer
Chris Jenner collaboration. I think it's genius. You know it's
I am your mama, you listen to me. I love
Chris Jenner being in the videos. I love this collaboration.
I love everything about it. I think Chris Jenner's having
a glow up. I saw her coming out of some
place the other day and some white, gorgeous outfit that
(05:43):
was flowing, and I think she's having a glow up.
I really do. I think she's having her own fucking
moment and I like it. I have more people that
are on the not asshole list. Amy Schumer is not
an asshole. She is a supreme un asshole. Deborah Messing.
(06:08):
I don't know if I ever mentioned that to you guys.
Completely not an asshole. She is just not an asshole.
And I'm sometimes it's so funny when I file through
then asshole cabinet. When I filed through the non asshole cabinet,
some assholes come like right to my forefront. I don't
know if I've said Eric stone Street because he's my friend.
I hope I've told you he's the opposite of an asshole,
(06:28):
Like he's so the opposite of an asshole that I
recently it was my daughter's birthday and now think about
how many people come up to him. How many kids
are obsessed with Eric stone Street from Modern Family cam
for Modern Family, like Endless, like it's Disney, it's kids.
It's another level of an audience. How many people bother
him and want to get a picture with him. He's
really famous and like that show is just so iconic.
(06:50):
Four kids. I'm at the diner with my daughter for
the day after her birthday and they start talking about
cocaine bar and then I said I'm friends with Eric
stone Street and they're like, wait, can't Oh my god.
I texted him, I said, can we FaceTime cause my
daughter's here with her friends. Like one second later, Eric
stone Street is on FaceTime for a bunch of fucking
(07:11):
thirteen year old girls that are freaking out because like
I just call Eric and have him on speed dial
when Brim was I'm whispering because I don't want you
to tell her when Brim was little and she didn't
believe in Santa Claus or she said something of someone
in school ruined it. The Jewish kids ruined it for her.
On Eric stone Street like called her and he has
this most amazing Santa Claus voice. He'll come on the
show and I will do his Santa Claus voice and
(07:32):
it's like he's like who, Like, it's like, literally, Santa Claus.
He is the best. And then the kids are talking
to him and he's like, what show will you watch it?
Because I said I just watched. He was like which episode?
Like he's not just like hey, I'm famous, talk to me.
He's like which episode? And then he said, wait, put
Brin back on and let me say happy birthday. Like
he's I love Eric Stone Street. So I just want
you to know that he is the opposite of an asshole.
(07:57):
Emily Hampshire, who's been on here, is completely the opposite
of it. But you know that because I wouldn't have
her on here. Oh God, the assholes keep flying into
my mind. One day, I'll tell you who the assholes are.
So I told you guys that I lost Brin's baby blanket.
It was a traumatic thirty six hours in Florida that
(08:17):
I can't even put into wards. It was it drained me,
it was it was sad. It was her baby blanket
from when she was born. It was just traumatic. It
was me dum digging through dumpster like laundry dumpsters, seeing
like how gross hotel rooms really are. And when people
say they don't want to do airbnbs because it's people,
you're living in someone's home with the fuck in a hotel,
you're living in a million people's homes. But anyway, I
(08:38):
had her baby blank We lost her baby blanket. The
hotel had accidentally put it in one of those goddamn bins.
It ended up going to a laundry center. It was
a nightmare. It was traumatic. Crying, it was trauma. I
saw my daughter like nurturing herself, like rocking herself in
the bed, crying. I saw her crying in the shower,
like she tried to pull it together, tried to keep
it together. I was a mess an We thought it
(09:00):
was definitely gone. So what you have to do right now,
right now, whatever stuffed animal it is. Whatever blanket it is,
you gotta do it. I don't care. Take the fucking
time and do it. Whatever airlomit is, whatever shirt, your grandpa, whatever.
If it's gonna leave your goddamn house, get air techs,
put them in a I have a lowjack on my
daughter's baby blanket. Now, I will forever know where that
fucking thing is. And if you can cut a square
(09:22):
of it out, put another replacement square in and put
that somewhere else. It's just it's too important, it's too traumatic,
it's too easy to do. Just do it.
