Speaker 1

I talked about Kale every couple of months. I just want to know has Kale been canceled? We don't see it as much, we don't talk about it as much. We don't have Kale chips as much. I don't see Kale Caesar as much. It's just it's it's low down on the menu, like Kale Caesar is the new Caesar, like where Caesar is just sort of the loser in the corner, when like Mescalin and a Rugala are like shining bright and a rugal is even like a little canceled.

There's like other things probably like esk Roll and I don't know, but like, is Kale Caesar just is it? I mean, has has Kale been canceled? I just want someone to tell me and who is is Callie Flower the new Kale? I just want to know, let me know. I want to speak to Kale's agent. I want to talk about who your high school heart throbs were. My daughter is so she's obsessed with more of a concept and a person. She loves Rudy Panko from Outer Banks like she loves him and when that show comes on,

she'll be into it again. And she loves him she's obsessed with him. And that was my Matt Dylan, which we'll get back into. But Duran Durant as a whole, And yes, I did love Simon, I love John Taylor. I think it was Taylor, but loved but the whole of Duran Duran. Like just I was obsessed, like thought about it, just dreamt about it. I just I don't I like was obsessed with it, went to all the kind Really, my daughter is obsessed with stranger things. What obsessed?

I took her to the premiere, she met every single person. She's such a lovely child. She's such a good girl. You know, I was wondering, and I want to talk about this separately. What spoiled is because is spoiled, acting spoiled or spoiled being spoiled? Because my daughter, with experience, is definitely spoiled. I bring her to things, I introduced her to people. She doesn't really care, but I she's had wonderful experiences. She is the most delightful, sweet, amazing

child you could ever meet. So she doesn't have a spoiled bone in her body. The way she acts. She gets art supplies at school, Mama, they gave us three art supplies. I'm so excited of my own. She takes care of her things, she's kind, she's a good person. So is she spoiled, I don't know. But she gets to go to these experiences. So she's gone to uh stranger things premieer with me. Uh. And that's the where I like being That's where I do like being successful

because I don't go to things on my own. I don't go to red carpet things. I don't care I go when I'm going with her. You'll see a pattern. I went to the I Heart Media Awards because oh no, I didn't. I went to the Jingle Ball why because my daughter could come, and you know, it's good music. And then we got to meet Olivia Rodrigo and that is something brain will enjoy. Ah. We went to the MTV Awards. I was getting a Lifetime Achievement Award. Damilia's

were there. She really wanted to come. Actually, no, she's not spoiled, so she didn't want to come. She said she was like fine without coming. I then thought that we'd regret it because it was a lifetime I mean not a lifetime it was a Reality Royalty Award, and I thought I wanted to mention her and it was important, so I wanted her to have that experience, which she loved. But she got a beautiful dress and expensive and I dressed that I bought her. That's spoiled. But she's so

lovely that she couldn't have cared about coming. She only cared about supporting me. Um, But I'm digressing. I just wanted to talk about spoiled and we can do that separately. But she is obsessed with stranger things, like lives for it, and I just know how she feels like she yearns for it. She thinks about she wants to talk about it, Like what do you mom? Okay, So like, Max, do you think that song really helped her? Like we get out of the upside down? Do you think do you

think that was it? I was like, well, I think the lyrics in the song. You guys don't have to know what I'm talking about, I said, but some of you do. I said, I think the lyrics in the song motivated her to want to live and get out of the upside down. And so she's like, okay, but do you think but do you think that like Steve is gonna get back together with whoever and like for her name? Do you think and do you think they're gonna get back together? Do you think he likes her?

But do you think she's a good person? Because I don't think he's good. The other guy's smoking pot. I don't think I'm like, I think I think he's I think he had a rough year. I think he's been a dork and it was hard for him and he was misunderstood. He was called the murder And I think now Steve, now this other person, Eddie, I think they're gonna think he's the new you know. And I'm talking like we know, like we know these people where I live in this because she wants it. I'm in the

upside down. She wants to talk to me for two hours like that's we're having a conver I'm like, this isn't us speaking, This is not us connecting, like we're maybe connecting. I'm talking to you about like fictitious characters that we're creative for thirty million dollars in episode, like Max isn't real and the upside down isn't real. This I'm in the upside down now with you. We're talking like these people. But that was Duran durand like I lived for them. It just wasn't a world that they

lived in that I understood. I was gonna be like, do you think they're going back to London and gonna eat fish and chips? Like I all I do saw the concert in the music, these shows like we're living. I'm living in the stranger things with her, So she's obsessed with it. But the spoiled conversation I think is interesting because the reason I indulge my daughter, it's because she's not spoiled and I want her to. It's not nice things. It's not like I'm out buying her like

product or crap like that. Like she'll ask me. She calls me every day to say, can I get boba? It's been two years. Every day, can I get boba? And she never doesn't call because a normal person would say, like I asked momma yesterday and she said yes. And I asked her the last three seventy seven days and she said yes, So today she's gonna say yes. But she still asks every day. She's in a mall, she

wants to buy four dollars shorts. She calls me she has her ound fifty dollars and she brought them all and I give her extra. She calls me she's like the best girl. It's so she's so sweet, um, but so I indulge her because I want her enjoy her life. She's so nice. She gives me so much. I want her to enjoy these experiences. It's not about the stuff though,

It's about the experiences. It's about taking her to Paris, taking her if I go to Orlando to work and it becomes more work for me to then, you know, take her to the Lazy River and do those experiences, and go to Disney and go on water Slide. I just love that. I've always loved that. I've always loved that. So it's just where I don't. But I never had her watch a lot. I never had her watch TV.

She's not a device kid. I never like just fed her a bunch of junk food to make her like shut up, or just gave her TV as a babysitter. I've put in time. But she definitely is spoiled and experiences not in um material goods. I mean she has some nice things, don't get me wrong, but not in that way. And she's lovely. And it's funny because Um, I sent her this Stranger Things experience, and she's coming down to Florida with me to film show. Not for

the whole time, for a couple of days. Two of the days or free days, um, but some of them are work days. And of course we're gonna be on a beach and there's a pool. And I don't I've never had a nanny, So my assistant is gonna come and do fun things with her for some of the time as well. I because when I'm off, I'll be going with her to do kid activities, so I don't get any free time. You know, That's just the way it is. But I said to her, you're doing this experience,

and I expect perfection. Womer in Florida, not an ask, not a complain, not a sigh. If you are sitting in TV and it's snowing in Florida, you'll be happy because you did this experience. And now it's Mommy's sign going down for a work trip. You're coming with me. There's a pool, you have everything you could do, you know you want. You could go to see the alligators and do but you know, kids, they'll take a mile. I said, and I wanted him writing A texted her,

it's just twelve. I said, I want, this is a contract. We're going down to Florida'm shooting a show, and I just want you're gonna agree. That will be zero zero asking, zero complaining. You will be Here's what I expect perfect because it's a long story and this experience she's going to and how it almost didn't happen and Mommy saved the day and you know it took a minute, and I called up my people at Stranger Things and you know all of it. But I was like, so, I

I think this is gonna be a new tactic. Get it in writing. You could show them that they saw saying you said it. They forget we did that. I just did that for you. They forget. They're like they have who has short memories fucking like penguins or nats, I don't know whoever a short memories. They don't remember you said it, you bought something for them. Two minutes later, they're gonna be onto something else. And you know how

it is, it's like feeling a void. If I write to her, I expect perfection because this thing is happening right now. Then I'm gonna show it back to her. I'm writing like stupid things, like I need her to pack. She likes to pack herself, and she procrastinates, and I need her to pack now for Miami because I'm not going to see her in between. She doesn't understand calendar. She's a little kid. She has to understand that, Like she's not gonna be with me at my house near

her stuff to pack in time. Who cares, that's weeds, you don't care. I'm just saying she has to pack tonight, but she's not gonna be down in Florida for a week, so she doesn't understand that's has to pack now for the summer in the Hampton's. She doesn't understand that. You know why she's gonna understand it because I got a

name writing, because I got it him writing. I'm gonna see her, like you're gonna you know what you're I'm not gonna fucking because I don't curse my kid, but I'm thinking to myself, I'm telling you guys, you're gonna pack, and here's here are the receipts where we agreed and it's binding, and I'll take it to kid's court. I don't know where that is I'll start it myself. I'll do it as a show, but that's legally binding. You're gonna pack tonight, not tomorrow, not later. I have it,

I'm writing, I'll print it out. I'll make her sign it tonight too. I'll get a goddamn notary to my house, like you said you were gonna pack tonight. I have a notary Republic, and they'll come here with handcuffs and arrest you. It was notarized. You said it. You cannot reach this contract and you're going to be good and perfect in Florida. And you know why, because I got it. I'm writing, when does card again Age start? Start? When

does card again Age start? So? I am Cardi b I'm Cardi Bethany, Like I never leave the house without a card again. I am never on a vacation, on a plane, in a car. These people that will just walk out in summer in a sun dress and like that's it, Like what do you mean that's it? Like that's your whole thing, Like it's just what you're doing. So I just want to know if that means I'm old. I've been doing this game for at least fifteen years now, Um,

because when you're younger. It's like twin Setti card Agains when I was younger. I just want to know when it starts, because I'm telling I am that woman who will not go anywhere with that a card again, just a fact. So that means, let's just say I'm Cardi B because it's better than saying, how many days can you spend with another human being like you're on a

romantic occasion, how many days? Like I am not that person that wants to spend fourteen days with any other human being, including my daughter, and I am she is my codependent soul sister, ride or die. I don't want to be with another human being longer than six days. I really six nights. I really don't. I need a break. I need choice time. I need choice time. Choice time within that vacation still doesn't count because I have a

ready started to despise the person. So choice time just means that I have to get back to the person. It doesn't matter who it is, leave me the fuck alone after a certain number of days. Okay, we can do this. We can pretend we peeked. We peaked. It's like being at a club at four o'clock in the morning. Now I look seventy five years old. Now them scares down my face. Now my breath is not what it

was five hours ago. The perfume has worn off, the music is shitty now, and I'll tech now and they're digging to the bottom of the goddamn fucking playlist barrel to figure out what to play for like music to find out who to fuck buy at the end of the night, and like it's just all wrong. You could leave leave at Boston, does it right closing times, like before two o'clock liquor license is done. It's enough when you're my age, eleven thirty midnight. Okay, we don't need

to beat it to death. We don't need to do that with other individuals that you're away with either. I don't need roommates to be with for all the time. And when I was younger it was a little different. I could go longer. Now at this age and this stage, I do not need to be with another fucking human being more than six nights. And by the way, that's being generous. Okay, Like Paul, yes, because I love him and we have a good dynamic and it gets great.

But trust me, we're on that plane coming home when the wheels come off. I've heard about addicts when they're about to get to their fix, they start to get all like cheery and they're about to get you know what I mean, Like I want to be I'm a

loner at heart. I will start to look at somebody like I don't even know them and I've never met them in my life, and that why are they even in my personal space after a certain amount of time, like it will be and it's by the way, and once I get to a place, I have to defrost in the beginning to I'll get to a place and probably like I know you want to leave, I'll be like, no, I love you, but I have to defrast. Like I have to defrast another thing. When I take a nap.

If I take a daytime nap, I am such a cranky afterwards. There's no way to describe it. It is like I don't really sleep, so if I do, there's such a situation that gets worked out through that nap, Like it's like I'm working on my problems, my toxins, the alcohol from a trip, everything that's gone on all my working before the trip. Everything. I wake up and I said to Paul in the car on the way back into the city yesterday because we just got back

from being on a trip. I said to him, you know, I'm like really cranky when I wake up from uh a nap, And he said yeah, also when you wake up in the morning, I'm like right, and he's like, and also if you haven't sleep that night, like right. So it's not that easy, but yes, after a certain period of time, but I'll have a best friend, and you know I want to I don't want to see your fucking face again after a couple of days on

a vacation. Everything they do, forget it. Paul points it out that I should never share a room with a girlfriend because that's where the annoying really happens. To sleep, the wake, the chewing, snacking, the fucking pajamas get away from me.
