Speaker 1 (00:12):
I think it's time to talk about the F one
weekend in Miami. It was the same weekend as the Derby,
and I was supposed to go to the Derby, and
I am moving and I have a place in Miami.
So it made it that like I don't have to
come together with so many like calculated outfits that you know, curated,
(00:33):
really meticulous outfits and styling and get on a plane
and go to a hotel and have glam that you
know people that I don't know, and go from one
event to the other and it could be hot, it
could be raining, and go.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I was like, this is going to kill me, this
is going to exhaust me.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
So I went to F one because it was at
Carbone by the Beach, which is in Miami, and that
made the lift low. And I don't have to go.
I can go, I cannot go. I could go any
night I want. It was wonderful. I just want to
say it's rare that I'll say about a brand. They
deserve all their STFs, like there's an alchemy. That's a
word that was on this podcast by Ian Schrager. The
(01:06):
ultimate creator of the modern lifestyle nightlife experience is Ian
Schrager Delano Hotel, Studio fifty four, Like you name it,
I mean another level. And he said that there's an alchemy.
And the major food group carbone Zz's their dynamic. They
create an alchemy and they did this on the beach.
(01:29):
Whoever the visionary for all of their events and all
their branded experiences is a chef's kiss. Literally, It's just
there's something about it, and they handle it right, and
it can feel casual and people can be dressed casual,
even though it's very elite and very upscale, and you'll
get an eclectic group of people. It's not like Palm
Beach where every single person is a cookie cutter clone
(01:51):
of one another, just dripping filthy, rich wealth billionaire hedge
fund people with planes and sports teams. It's that, but
also like cool people and music people and interesting people
and every all shapes and size.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Is a really really interesting alchemy.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
And you could just meet someone that's fun, you could
meet someone that's hot and attractive.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
You could meet someone you could do business with.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
The food is excellent, the music is excellent, the entertainment
is beyond chef's kiss.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It was really really amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Lauren Hill shout out to Lauren Hill and Bust Rhymes
and Wyclef because while Jelly Roll was amazing and Tea
Pain was amazing, the last night is still all the
high rollers and still elite, but they folded in pastry
chefs and people who work in restaurants and like it's
always that best night. It's almost like the billionaire employees night,
(02:43):
like there was still everybody. There was still somebody, but
there were mixed in people that were more like local vibes.
And that night was the night that wy Clef and
Lauren Hill and Buster Rhymes performed, and that was the
best musical night. The DJ was the best that night,
and that that was the best night because they were
singing like they were in their own living room, like
(03:05):
they were singing like they were home in the backyard
and just decided to bust out with passion and with longevity,
and they were not looking at the clock, and it
didn't feel like a corporate appearance. It was just soulful
and it was like, I can't believe this is happening.
I'm smiling ear to ear. It was wonderful. When music
is good and it clicks, it's another level. And all weekend,
the entertainment was phenomenal. Jelly Roll was great because it
(03:26):
was not on the nose, you know, with just like
another hip hop artist, Latin American singer Tea Pain was amazing.
The whole thing was wonderful. People are wonderful. Mario Carbone
is wonderful. He's a handsome, young fit g chef. His
fiance Kate Bailey, who represents a lot of publicists, she's
amazing too. I just think they should have a production
(03:47):
company called Chef's Kiss. I'd like to be her publicist.
She's beautiful, she's friends with interesting people, They're engaged.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
They're just lovely, very very nice, not pretentious at all.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So I really I like them, and I think they
deserve the success. And I love when a brand and
an individual deserves a success.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And that was great.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Don't be a flaky friend. It's a reflection of who
you are at work. Who you are at business, who
you are in work is who you are in personal
and vice versa. And I have a friend that I
hadn't spoken to in years, and since I'm down in Florida,
I reconnected and I was like, I don't remember what
the ultimate real reason I keep We've canceled planned so
many times in the last years and why it didn't
(04:31):
ultimately work. We went out to something really amazing and
this person doesn't get out much at all, and you know,
doesn't do that much. And I said, I'll bring you
again tomorrow and they said yes, and then we confirmed
it and they said they'd come, and the next night
at nine o'clock, I hadn't heard from them, and I
could have brought someone for this amazing coveted ticket, and like,
(04:51):
after the event was off to the races, this person
was like basically said that they kind of like spaced
out or were tired or I don't want to get
into specifics, but said something and it was like, wow,
now I remember what it was. What it was was
the flakiness. And I don't like to feel unsafe. You've
made a plan. I don't like to feel like I've
made a plan and now I'm gonna have to figure
out who I'm going with because I feel like I'm
a loser from alone or didn't want to go alone
(05:13):
or could.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Have brought someone else. I don't like it. I don't
like it.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
And as a cousin to that, there have been these
like private clubs that open up in Florida and New
York and LA. And it's funny to me, the people
who I've asked to recommend me. Shout out to Kevin Huvane,
one of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry,
who I asked to recommend me for one of these clubs,
(05:37):
and in seconds he said, done, you're in. I don't
believe I ultimately joined because I was moving, but he
said done, you're in. And then people not at his
success level that I've asked to recommend me for these
private clubs like ghost me. Ignore it time and time again.
It's always the same people that ignore and then the
person that is going to end up recommending me to
this bougie bougie club where someone just ghosts.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Did the question.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
This multi billionaire who is so powerful is the one
writing me the ultimate letter. So it's just interesting the
people that like ice you out and ghost you when
you're trying to do something, Like they'll call you when
they need something or call you about other things, but
like in this category, they just ignore you.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And I just I'm not addressing that.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Crowd anymore anymore. EH need more mark my words. These
private clubs though. Everything is a private club now, and
a lot of them are too private. They're so private
that you're sitting there in your own room and like
you picked a room and you're like alone, Like what
are we doing?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
We went out? I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I've been to so many private clubs. I don't find
them that fun. Like they're not fun. It's sort of
like sometimes you're at a section of a concert or something,
but it's like not the fun part.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Sometimes you're in the skybox at the tennis match and.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're like, wait, but I want to be down there,
like with the people watching the match, just seeing Like
now I'm up. I could be in a penthouse suite
in Des Moines. What does it matter where I am?
If I'm up in a sweet I'm not near the thing,
and listen. I love a swite, don't get me wrong,
but I usually love a swee. When I don't even
know what the sport is, I don't really care. Another
(07:24):
thing I want to do and I think I'm in
a position to do it is talk about different famous
people who have ultimately gotten a rap for not being
kind or things like that. And it's happened to Catherine
Heiegel who I know, people who work with her. It's
happened to Jennifer Lopez. It's happened to Ellen, And I
just want to say something for these massively famous celebrities. Now,
(07:47):
I am nowhere near their fame level, but I experience
things that are extremely jarring that make you not want
to go out, that make you not want to trust anyone,
that make you not want to talk to anyone, that
make you understand how someone could almost say to their assistant,
tell them not to look me in the eye. What
happens with fit people are their fans. They admire you,
(08:11):
They want to be close to it. You're naive and
you think they're just great and they have the best
intentions and they just want part of it. And the
minute something goes bad, they want to either sue. They
want to either get attention. Everybody's a social media influenza now,
so they want to get attention by talking about it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
This is a way. It's a contact hie.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
If someone talks about someone way more famous than them,
they can get something. And it makes you understand where
as an adult, as you get older, because you didn't
see these things happen to these women in their twenties.
As you get older, you get more set in your
ways and you want your circle to be tighter as
anyone as a civilian. So now you're also a public person,
you are ready or set in your ways.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You really don't trust.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You may have been through a bad divorce, You've been
through life more. You know what can happen. You know,
you know you see in a Lizzo get sued by assist,
or Lady Gaga buy a dog walker, or Jennifer Lopez
is walking up stairs and maybe said something the wrong
way in that one moment. And you know, I'm not
saying you need to feel for celebrities and their plight.
I'm just saying that as someone who gets pulled it
(09:14):
and picked at, you kind of see how it could
go sideways. Because just yesterday a person called me. I
thought it was my business lawyer. He was like hi, Bethany.
I'm like hi, and he's like, oh, X told me
you're moving to Why I don't know this person. I've
I've met this person over the years, but I haven't
(09:37):
seen this person for thirty maybe twenty five years, easily,
but I would not recognize them. I might say that
looks familiar because I know them through another person, but
like we've never spoken on the phone ever. Once it's
the friend of the friend that you're with that may
come out and meet everybody, Like, but like I'm not
friends of this person. So they called me where are
you moving exactly? And also I heard you're moving here?
(10:00):
Where's your daughter going to school? Like I felt like
I was getting a rectal exam. And I and here's
what was going through my mind in the moment. I said,
I feel very uncomfortable right now. It's almost like a
telemarketer call, but you like didn't really I go, but
more it was like a reporter.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I feel very uncomfortable. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I'm just like kind of private. No, no, no, I'm not
gonna tell anybody.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
We don't gossip, but just like if you need anybody,
we're here. I'm like, okay, thank you, But like I
couldn't keep it together, and I was just like, I
feel very uncomfortable. I think I'm gonna go. I was
just very off guard and it was jarring. It wasn't
a text, it was a phone call, and it kind
of freaked me out. I just felt very like violated,
because I don't know this person, and maybe like someone's
calling someone to be nice, but like you're calling me
as a public but we're not friends, Like so you
(10:43):
didn't call me years ago as the twenty other times
I moved to call me. And I'm not saying it's
a bad person at all. And then we got off
and I was like paranoid and I called back. I go, hi,
I was just caught off guard. I just didn't mean
to be rude. So now I'm apologizing to this person
who I don't know because I felt bad because I'm thinking,
like I now feel bad and now I look like
this bitch and now I'm living up if it's like
bitchy celebrity like reputation. But I just did feel off guard,
(11:05):
and a public person is not allowed to have that moment.
They're just not You're not allowed to like complain, You're
not allowed to have a normal response to something. And
so I'm just saying I'm not saying you need to
like celebrities or no celebrities are dead and no one
likes celebrity and whatever. I was just giving a thought
that I had that, like I don't blame megastars for
keeping their head down, not wanting to talk to anybody,
(11:27):
and not wanting to expose themselves to anything, not wanting
anyone new, not wanting the new working for them, not wanting.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Any of it. I'm just telling you that's what I
feel like.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Your body language changes, you change because if you've had
enough people fuck with you and try to take from
you and try to take you down and try to
you know, and just fuck with you and grab then
you know, because the stakes are high. They're very high
for a person like a one of these famous people.
(11:56):
Married men simply have to wear rings. If they don't,
there has to be a very clear indication that they're married.
And this message isn't really even for the men. I
don't care what it's the women. They'll be a married
man talking to me that's not wearing a ring. And
I'm not even saying he's hitting on me. He's just
a man. We're talking for an extended period of time.
But I think he might be No, I think he
is single because he's not wearing a fucking ring. I
(12:17):
think he is single. But then the wife gets a
little snippy or is around And I did one person
I didn't even know how to wife. I didn't know,
and I was talking to the wife but didn't know
the wife was with the person.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I didn't know. How would I know? Why would I know?
I don't know who anybody is. I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
And you get a little bit of an attitude from
the wife and you're like, why don't you fucking step off?
Your man needs to wear a ring, Like that's how
you feel. I don't say that. I didn't say that,
but like, don't give me any kind of subtle coldness
or anything, because I did not know that your man
was married. And let's pretend it was me totally flirting.
Let's pretend I went over and gave the man a
(12:55):
lap dance as a man with no ring. Don't give
me an addict.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I would never do that. Don't give me an attitude
because your man's not wearing a ring. I would have
no way of knowing that he wasn't open for lap
dance business. So make your man a ring, put him
on a leash, keep him home. It's not my fucking problem.
If your man does not have a ring on and
I don't know you're married. Tough shit, tough actual shit.
(13:19):
Can we not with the kids getting into college. Everything
is a party for these coddled fucking kids. Everything is
a shiny balloon and streamers and a sweatshirt and a
sweatsuit down to Like the engagement is a full production.
You get engaged, there's a camera crew there and everything
has to be like and look who's talking, but like
an engagement, and.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Then there's an audience. Then you go to the wedding
and you're.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Wearing the outfit which I wore for the day before,
but there's five outfits the day of people getting three
wardrobe changes. I didn't have that when I got married,
and that wasn't that long ago. And now it's getting
into college. It's the bridal parties, it's people going broke.
Everybody has to wear a different fucking bling do own
outfit for everything. Like it's crazy nuts getting into college.
I mean, we didn't do any of this stuff. You
(14:00):
got into college, you were excited.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That's it.
