Speaker 1

Okay, I have to say something very positive about Andy Cohen, Bravo and Dorinda. There's something in page six about me and that Dorinda said, Um, and we don't speak all the time Direnda and I, but I have we have a mutual respect for each other as people who work together and know each other and mothers, etcetera. And she said in page six, not even she could drag me kicking and screaming to come back to the housewives. And um, many times Andy has said, you know, oh, we said

at Bravo Con, this is all around Bravo Con. Andy Cohen said, you know, he doesn't believe that I'm interested in coming back all of this. I could tell you something. Bravo and Andy have a bigger microphone and credibility in that space than I do. And whilst I took the snarky, low hanging fruit road and saying there's a number but they and afford to pay that that's sort of snarky

and almost negative. It's not something negative about Andy or Bravo, but it's it's true, but it's sort of a little snarky. And usually people Bravo liberties take the snark and usually Bravo and people like Andy want everyone you know, I don't know. I I have a soft spot for the fact that and that Andy and Arenda are truthful and Bravo are truthful about the fact that I am always welcome back and then I choose to not come back.

If anything, I've been the lesser person by letting everybody know that I'm not coming back and why I left and the reasons, and those reasons are true. I just it would be very easy for Andy to say I haven't said Bethany's welcome back, or Direnda to say who knows the shows are better with that, or she hasn't been here. That would be very easy to say, because look at Beverly Hills, it's doing fine without least Savanda props.

Some would say maybe even better. You know, you could say, um, Bravo as a whole is thriving, and I didn't go to Bravo con and they didn't have any problem. There's a spot that I have for people like Dorenda and Andy and Bravo overall and being truthful and saying she's welcome back but doesn't seem to want to come back. There's just something about that that's honest. That never happens. It's like someone's saying, they broke up with me, they

broke my heart. It never happened. Someone's always saying, well, now, I mean, I really wanted to break up, but they actually did. It just feels very mature. It sounds ridiculous that I'm bringing that up, but it just struck me well when given a page six moment, either Dorenda or Andy could have said we're doing fine without Bethany, and she doesn't miss an opportunity to say how much she

doesn't need to be here. Like there's a thousand ways that could have been sliced, and everybody took the high road, in the mature road. And I appreciate that Andy Cohen and Dernda Medley. It does not go unnoticed. And they're not even doing it for attention at all. They're just doing it because they're being honest and being literal. And he knows that they would have me back, and that

I don't. They don't feel that I want to do that, or that I'm ready to do that or want you know, And it's just very honest, and I just like that the guy who is There are different people on the com apps. There's a commapp, there's another one headspace. There are these apps and it's really funny. There are different voices that I like, a don't like what a job. Some of them are former monks. I mean they've they've

got like real, real resumes from what they say. And this is how it will go if you do like a seven minute when they're like, hi, today, we're gonna talk about being accountable to your presence and spiritual. I'm making this up to your presence and spirituality. Sometimes we're not present and sometimes we're not spiritual, and you know, take a few deep breaths and then it goes silent

for a really long time. There's a couple of like take a few in out deep breath and that's probably like forty five seconds, and then they're like all these minutes of quiet. Sometimes you're like that at my phone go off, you go look at it, you hit the things, so the light screen goes on and you don't know

if it's gone pause, etcetera. And then somehow, after like all these minutes, they'll come back and they'll talk again about some greepe breaths and cleansing, and it's important to be present in me spiritual of and thank you very much, have a wonderful day. Like this guy's got the best fucking gig ever he has to He has to literally speak for like forty five seconds at the beginning and forty five seconds at the end of a seven minute comrade,

and I'm drooling and passed out. So he should be getting paid the most of anybody all year than any job, because I'd pay anything to just drool in the middle of the day spontaneously. So I like your Picasso college. I've started to think the college is absolutely useless and worthless if you're not going to be a lawyer a doctor, or you don't need to just be put someplace by

your parents for several years, or business school. My driver has a son who's a rock star at soccer, like going professional right out of high school, and he's not sending him to college. Um, and he's actually even getting paid. And you know, someone else on my staff was saying, well, he's young, and what if something happens, and you know, he didn't go to school, he doesn't have a diploma.

I've never once been asked to see my diploma. I've never showed my diploma for a n y U. Ever, I talked to Paul, who's really smart, my fiance, who reads all day long, and he didn't learn a thing in college. I really didn't learn a thing in college. I learned in high school from my really good teachers, from my English teacher in particular, and I'm hour writer. I learned immaculate grammar, which is so important. If you teach your kids one thing, please make it be immaculate grammar.

Kids can't write, they write an emojis, and they don't They just can't write sentences, they can't write emails. Nobody can write anything. But anyway, I really didn't learn a fucking thing. I was trying to get by. I took all my classes on Wednesdays so I could be done at nine thirty at night and go back to New York City. So I was just trying to get away

with something. College was paid for for me, one of the very you know, few lucky college is paid for and I was just trying to jam it all and get the credits and get out, get back to New York City to go wait for the weekend and have fun, go see my boyfriend Being York. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, come back, take all my classes Wednesday. What a scan. I didn't know what you know, paying for the dorm was or any of that ship. What a spoiled asshole.

But nobody then it wasn't in the way that like it's very in now to go to be to do online dating, and back then it was taboo. It wasn't in to not go to school. Everybody went to college. You'd be like a dope if you didn't go. And I just don't know if I think it's worthless if you weigh the debt, there's no way it's worth something. If you go to Harvard Fund, if you go to Warden, the people you're gonna meet. Great, if you go and you actually really study and really pay attention and rich

your life, great. But if you know that you're not going to do that, and you know that your kids are the types, just go there to get by and have a social atmosphere for that many years. Write it down on a piece of paper, the amount of money and the amount of money you're gonna. Oh, I don't know if it's worth it. It wasn't worth it for Paul. It wasn't worth it for me. So while I was thinking my uh employed driver Alton his son, I was thinking, are you a dope? He's not gonna have an employed

a college diploma? What if it doesn't work out? I thought, I've talked to Paul about I thought about it overnight. I thought about what I've talked to Mark Cuban about in different people. I woke up, I texted him. I said, you know what, I think, You're right, I said, but you don't want to have him be a dope. Make sure he's taking classes. Make sure he's taking community classes.

You make sure he doesn't get any of that money from what he's being paid to go pro like as a young pro, like a New York League, you know, not like he's going off to play for you know, the World Cup soccer or whatever. I said, make sure he's taking classes and you hold him accountable that he's taking classes online. And it made me realize how valuable online learning is. Like you could go through why is an online learning? Go through college online if you can't

afford it, do online classes, trade schools. If you know exactly what you want to do, or no, three things you want to do, go learn a couple of different trades. It just feels like going to college and spending all this money. It could be like up to hundred thousand dollars a year to learn. You know, I don't know about I've never seen the employee. I've never seen the diplomas for any of the girls at work for me,

and I've never even read the resumes. And if they didn't have the where they went to school, I wouldn't even care. So, you know, I know assistance that are going on to make a lot of money, and I know people who just get in the kitchen. You want to be a chief, get in the kitchen Bobby Flay style. You don't even need to go to culinary school. I went. It gave me confidence. It was great. Get in the

goddamn kitchen. If you want to work for someone, you want to work in a business, get in their kitchen. Learn how to trade stocks, learn how to you know, work in the media, learn how to do pr learn. I don't know, I don't know what. I really am getting more and more strongly against this. Unless you are going to go to Wharton and you're gonna make incredible relationships like form great relationships, go to Harvard, gonna be a doctor, gonna be get your n b A. You

need something that that college provides. Of course, otherwise, I just don't know. You're gonna be a psychologist. Great, I just don't know. Otherwise. TikTok is becoming the real wild, wild fucking West. Random people they're just put on pause for days. Their videos don't post because they're posting about some plastic surgery or something. Other people are doing hate speech and bullying. It's a fucking wild wild West. I'm doubling down on Facebook and Instagram. Okay, I'm gonna tell

you why. Viewser down and follows her down. And the value of TikTok followers is not as high as they are on Instagram. The actual views, followers, et cetera are way more valuable. I didn't know that Instagram came in and kicked snapchats, asked once it knew it had to go do stories. Instagram's coming in with reels. They're gonna kick TikTok's asked because now they know who they have to copy and be better. They've got more money. Facebook is for I know, dinosaurs. It still has millions of

people on million and millions more than than TikTok. So, while we all like with the new kid in the new popular kid in school, just know that you have to pay attention to all these social media apps and that they have tremendous resources and money, and that Meta who owned Facebook and Instagram have way more money than TikTok so. Just think about that. Just think about that.
