Speaker 1

Dating is a mom. It's so funny because I was talking to someone who works with me and she was saying that she was worried to date and nervous today she has a new baby, and you know, et cetera. She has a child, a son. She's not a new baby. She has a very young son um and dating and it's gonna be weird because you know, how do people feel about that? I said, you have it so wrong. Dating with kids is the best. The reason dating with kids is the best is because you have an identity

a single woman. And this is why single women have to have their own job, their own charity, their own purpose, not fake purpose where you pretend to have purpose. So you show the guy or girl you're dating that you have purpose, like internal, actual purpose that really really is strong and really compelling and matters. And why I say this is I was going through a gnarly horrible divorce and I cherished every single second with my her. There was no negotiating that time, so when I was dating,

it was just black and white. These are the days I have, These are the days I don't. Paul makes a joke because the first day I met him, and Paul's a successful, handsome, wealthy, smart, funny guys. I'm a great family. And I told him I had I think it was between like two and four on a Monday afternoon or four and six. I didn't even think that was weird. It was the time that I had bright daughter was getting home or being transferred. I forget what. And I had wanted to be with her, but it

gave me definition. And also like, who the funk is this girl? She's given me a Monday four to six slot or three or whatever it was. The point is I told her, no, no, no, you don't get it. Like when you date and you have a child or a serious career too, which she has both because she's the president of my company. You now have purpose, you have other ship, you have to do, you have places you have to be and they're non negotiable. And someone

wants to date you, they have to understand that. But there's an energy within you that rises when this happens. And if you take your if you take your responsibilities seriously, you know, it's his biggest turn off. A woman who's like, oh, I could just cancel that, I could just get out of that, or I could just leave my kid with a babysitter, or I could his nanny up. Whatever, No, this is my this is I have a child and

my time is very important. Or I don't want them to meet you yet until it's very serious, or it just defines you. And in fact, I remember dating someone really really player, handsome, never really had a serious girlfriend, you know, a real player, And he said to me that he didn't want a serious relationship. Now I didn't know if I wanted a serious relationship either, but I'm not in my twenties. I'm not you know, you're not deem ng me and saying want to hook up like

I was an adult with a child. So I said, listen, I don't know that I want something serious either, but I will not participate in something that is not evolving. If I'm spending any time with you at all, it has to be evolving and moving forward. And so if that's not what you want, and he was like, well I don't want se se O great, so let's call it.

I kept saying, let's call the fight, let's call the fight, and I called his bluff because he was like no, no no, no, okay, And it got very serious and we were together for years, meaning draw the line, figure out whether we we pad is and where it's not. But these firm stances while being loving and fun and amazing, you don't want to be the nag with baby vomit on your shirt when you go on a date, and you don't want to

be talking about baby talk at all. Be present, be interesting, and be fun, and be yourself, but then go away and be the parent that you are, or be the you know employee that you are, or the career person that you are. It makes you more attractive, it makes you feel better about yourself, and it makes you understand

where you're supposed to be. I used to call it the burner method, having multiple people on the burners, which is adjacent to this, but basically, if you focus all your energy on one person when you're first dating, even if that's the person you like most. And of course there are exceptions to every role. There are people that sleep with someone on the first date and get married. There are a million exceptions to rules, but the burner method was, you don't want to let that thing boil over.

Meet someone it's amazing, you like them a lot. Take it down to medium, medium high. Put something on another burner. Put something on another burner. Maybe you like it, maybe you don't. Maybe it's on medium, maybe it's fine. Then maybe something else comes on. You meet somebody else you Once you get serious, the whole stove shuts down, So you might as well while you're dating, learn how to date and treat it like a Viking six burner stove.

And something just you don't like, it's not working at all, take it off the goddamn stove. Some things need to simmer for a minute. Someone's not acting the way that they're supposed to act. You put them on simmer. But I have multiple burners, and the reason is because that one burner that if you could, you put it on boil. But because you have the other burners going, it means you're watching that pot, but not too much, not too

not too hard. It means that that pot's cooking, that you've got other ship going on, and when you feel really safe and secure in that pot, that's your favorite pot, then you could turn everything off and go over there and get really serious. But it does work. It means the least interested party always wins. You have other ship going on. No one's better at getting a job than someone who has a good job. No one's better at meeting someone than someone who has someone. I mean, that's

how it goes like. So just know that the energy you put out there is very important, and the energy you put out there as a single mom is very very important and if channels properly great energy when dating. I have never met a man who doesn't want to date me because I had a child. And also weed it out. Nothing is better than a kid weeding it out. You don't want to date a lepre con. You want to date a person that wants to be in a relationship with a person who's a good parent and who

has a child. You know, you don't want to go date someone who's fucking in a garage band and you know a stoner like what? So at least you're shopping at the right store. So put out there exactly what it is and show you're crazy or show your story, earlie, and you'll attract what you're supposed to. So much bullshit and dating and know and literally I am excellent at dating, excellent to dating advice, but superb. I don't say that about myself about a lot of things. Excellent at the

dating game. Oh my god, A girl farted on the view. God, I was. It's almost like TikTok. Knew that my daughter was sitting next to me because she unfortunately likes this type of humor. And there was a sound and I thought it was like a joke or something, but it was like and it's on Google as woman farts on the view And I don't know who it was. And I don't want to start, you know, I don't want to talk about the person. I don't know the person is. I didn't even look for their name. I don't need

to know. I don't want to know. I just want you to know. Put me in the box, close the top, get the cheapest one you can get and fucking bury me. Or burn me in my fire pit in the backyard and throw me in the ocean, Okay, or no, just put the just keep me in the fire, but just just burn my ashes. I just want you to know. I don't think it's something I could recover from. I

really don't. If you gave me the choice of a tenure run Kelly Ripper, a good friend of mine, high paid power bitch and a little body, amazing job, coveted job in New York. I mean coveted job in this morning show, really great fun hosted it. Love it, love her. If you gave me Kelly Ripper's job for her whole tenure, for the amount of money that she's made, but you told me I had to fart on live television one time. I don't think I take the deal. I don't think

I take the deal. And I don't think you could sweeten up the deal. I don't what what okay, A hundred million dollars to fart on the view? I just I don't know what the number is. This is always a number. I just can't think of what the what's the number too fart in the view? Like? What's the number? A hundred million dollars, Bethany? But you have to fart on the view? Okay? Do I get to move my whole family to another planet? Like? What is what are

the terms? Like? Do you have a fucking spaceship? What are we gonna do? Now? I'm gonna fart some where and everyone's gonna know and then they're gonna pull up this video and Bethanie was talking about it. She tested the gods, she tested faith, getting all oldert. I don't know, maybe we we fart more when we get older. I have no idea because they would say old people fart. I don't know. I don't know, not like a big fart like some people are far I'm not like a

massive farner, you know what I mean? Like I don't really just not, thank God, But I just don't know how i'd recover. I don't know. There's this lottery scam where Kim Kardashian and Scott is Sick and other people. I've been asked to do this, by the way, and decline because it feels so gross to stand in front of luxury handbags and like talk about a luxury a

lottery giveaway. Chris Jenner I think has done them too. Um, But it came out to be a scam, and I commented on one of the posts that, um, the biggest crime was posting this when the Ukraine war are broke out, Like that was crazy, Like I just can't even imagine just posting that on that day. But if you get a million dollars in the deliverables or that day, you have to do it. But because of that a lot of people came out to me and said to me

that Kim Zulziac has had online scams like different. It's not a lottery. You're supposed to buy these things and enter this like world of hers where you get things, but people aren't getting the things that they bought. Do you know anything about this? Is it's true because a lot of people have reached out to me about there's always some new business that people pop up and say

this is a thing and enter this. I remember the Cardassians had a credit card that like when awry because people are joining the credit card and something went wrong. It happened with Russell Simmons years ago with a credit card. You join this credit card and it's like, really a scam. Um, you gotta be careful of all these online scams. Now, you gotta be careful of shop Now's because those a lot of those the products are scams. Um, the process is a scam, the payment is a scam, which you

know the product is a scam. But also they steal people's content. There was a whole shop now for days of me without boring you, I was wearing the sweater in some content that I did on my own page. And this overseas brand you cannot find out who they are, where they do it from it's like this fucking Ponzi scheme. They were posting for days me and this cardigan sweater hawking this sweater. The sweater I was wearing wasn't the sweater they were selling, and they were selling this other

cheap o sweater online all day every day. My fans were going crazy about it when I called it out to be a scam, with TikTok as the one profiting from this scam because TikTok, let's say, is the network, TikTok is the Bravo, and this company is the production company. So whoever this company is that stole this footage, they're pumping it through TikTok and selling to TikTok's customers that people watching the network, and TikTok's making the money. It

went on for five days. I had to get vigilante like on my own social media posting about it, and then I posted about it on Instagram, and then I did a TikTok in code uh where I did the voice of mommy dear is saying don't funk with me, fellas. But these shop now sites, they steal other people's comment content, They steal people's content, present a whole new product that they're making in China with a name that sounds similar to the product that the original person was promoting, and

then they just pump it through to your followers. So me like to my followers because it's me and the ad. So all my followers were getting this ad. They were being assaulted. It's terrible for me because it looks like I'm bombarding people with these ads when I don't do these ads. It looked terrible for me. It's terrible for my brand, damages my reputation. And it's terrible because people are buying this sweater thinking it's a sweater that I endorsed,

which I didn't. I've never seen this sweater and it's a scam company. So when I started talking about this, people were talking about the scam Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick luxury giveaways where Chris Jenner and I think they're standing in front of all these luxury bags and it's the sweepstakes, but the people never get the money. I guess, I don't know. I was asked to do it. I did not do it. It was like dollars from me, the like Hawk luxury goods. It's gross. I can't justify

it. It It sounds which just wrong. So now, but Kim probably got paid, you know, million dollars to do it, and she posted right around Ukraine war breaking out, so utterly toned death. Then people are sending me messages about Kim Zulziac that she sells people all these different things in these different clubs, like enter the hair club or this club or the be Powerful club, and people join and then they got scam because they said they never got whatever they paid for. So maybe it's a learning

thing or it's hair thing, whatever the thing is. People are writing to me saying that it's a scam. So I didn't know if any of you knew about that. But that's crazy too. This is one of the several d ms that I received about Kim. Kim starts businesses and she takes the money from the customer and they never received the product. That's not unlike the luxury good scam. You enter but you don't, but that's not really the same. But no one wins. This is they never received the product.

She started something called the b Box, which was supposed to be a subscription box. She has people pay in advance. They were supposed to receive the box. In May, no one has received their box and they can't get in contact with anyone for a refund. The website no longer exists. She started swim line, showed product that said coming soon, the product would never come out. That site is now closed down to uh wow, there was an influencer. We found out about it and ask people to contact her

with their personal stories. Now her daughter claim they're going to do alive and the stuff we don't know and they'll address. Okay, so let's not let's not know if Kim Zolsiac is she's innocent and proved to proven guilty. Another unrelated Housewives news, I think Lisa Rinna posted that she's the lebron of Housewives. Okay, you can't like you don't cover Barber strike Sam when you're singing and you

don't say things like that about yourself other people. You wait for other well to say that stuff about you. Years ago, the basketball player reference began because Michael Rapp report referred to me as the Michael Jordan of Housewives. I don't refer to myself as that. People watching the initial seasons of Housewives called me their Carrie Bradshaw. What's going to happen to her. I don't refer to myself like that. You don't refer to yourself as Carrie brad

Bradshaw or Lebron or Michael Jordan's. It's just let other people do that for you. It loses the luster, just a little piece of Housewives adjacent advice cringe and Michael Rappaport takes full credit for the initiation of the NBA basketball reference to housewives being me
