Speaker 1

By the way, I did something very very very very very smart on Father's Day. So you know how it's these holidays. People do it on the Jewish holiday, Happy New Year, Happy new people don't even know that, like have you in some list from years ago. It makes you feel good that you're like, wait, that guy like I got out a plane in my twenties. Okay, like that guy doesn't care, but wishing me a happy New Year Russia Shauna or yum kapor or whatever. No, you

don't wish happy yum Kapor. You do it after because that's the fast and that's a rant um or happy New Year. But then like there's the ones that are like Happy Mother's Day, and you're just like, you know, I don't BCC everybody. I don't have like a blast list. I don't even how to do that, So I just like individually, like like a Hunt and Peck person, just

say Happy Mother's Day to my good friends. And then I was sitting around and my fiance said that, oh no, somebody said Happy Mother's Day to me that like wouldn't be in my normal happy Mother's Day rotation. And then it became Father's Day and Paul got like a Happy Father's Day from sort of a semi rando. And then I was like, you know what be good to just like throw out some happy Father's Days, just two people that I'm not even not close with because you never know,

like just happy father What does it hurt me? Just like my jeweler, Happy Father's Day, or like somebody I used to work with, Happy Father's Day. Just like just someone who I just happened to text in the last forty people just look growing through. All right, fine, if you have a dog, it's a loophole. Happy Father's Day to your dog. Whatever. So I threw out a lot of them. And you know what, lately, like I needed a favor from someone. I had to ask someone something.

It was like a former accountant or someone or a former jewel That's why I brought up my jeweler. I was like, I can ask them. I wish them a fucking happy Father's Day. No, not even in my circle. So because of that extra like holiday text, you can like ask for a favor later or just like you know,

jump in and like mentioned something. Just like it's like why not just throwing the extra text on those days Happy fourth or July, Happy Memorial day, Labor Day, get groundhog Day, whatever you want to do, it's just it. It comes back to you. Let's talk at a camp. So I've talked before about the Hampton's and these like dynamics that a lot of people don't know. And um, many of you are not douchebags who live in the Hampton's or these, um you know places that have a

lot of douche bags in them. I mean everywhere has a douche bag ratio, of course in their society. But you know, granted, when you you spend time in a place that has hundred dollar lobster salad and assholes that were hats with private check companies on them, and the names of private yachts that they've been on as fucking humble, not so humble, brag name drop literally. And this doesn't

count in different parts of the Hampton's. This counts in like Mock five, like Bridge Hampton, Southamptons, wasp Ear so it's a little different. I don't know if the Wasps send their kids to camp. I don't think so, but they're not around either for different reasons. The Jews want to just eat all summer and the Wasps want to drink all summer, So I don't know where they send their kids. Parents are going to drinking camp. I'm not sure where they send up the kids. Let me think

about that. Yeah, maybe more like piecemeal camp. Maybe day the Jews, the second fucking Memorial Day hits, they set their alarm clock and they start packing. They sell the names into the clothes. By the way, I couldn't send my kids to camp, just for the anxiety of the stuff and the big trunk and then trunk coming home and MAYD be like burn it, throw it in the goddamn river. Could tend to belong to Rose in the Titanic. I don't want to see that thing because I'll have

an anxiety attack having a packet. Crazy about organization, Um, I will be now. I just I'm not a camp person. And while I am Jewish, I do go to Catholic school for a couple of years. I don't necessarily identify by any religion, but culturally more Jewish than Christian. But I've experienced both and had parents that are both, and I'm a total mutt of religious cultural affiliation. Christmas more than hanakkah bagels, more than what's a Christian food? Like

ham bagels more than ham. I mean, Jews would never put catchup on a goddamn hot dog, and I feel like the only people that would do that would be Christians. So anyway, I digress for the sixteenth time. Everywhere you go, the first question that the parents ask you is where are your kids a camp? Like, where's your kids? Your kid a kid? Where's your kid at camp? It's not even are, it's where. And my daughter is not a camp. She chose to not go to camp years ago. So

you get here and it's like a thing. And I almost feel self conscious in the other way that my daughter is not a camp because she goes to Camp Mommy, which is, you know, it's a lot more labor intensive Camp Mommy for me, because every day is a new adventure. She um, I can't say she's working because it's illegal, but she is working for my friend. Um, I won't say who is so so she doesn't get arrested. But my daughter wanted to work, and I said, you have to

have some structure. You're not gonna sit around all day. And just like she's not really a device person, but you know, I gotta she This kid is so great. I can't even tell you this. I walked, I walk into my kitchen. She's mincing shallots so finely that you can't even believe it. I can't. I went to Connory School. I don't mince them so fine. It's because she's an artist. She's so detailed. She makes penny all of vodka from scratch, like with the sauce. Like she's just amazing. But anyway,

so it's like a fucking renaissance woman. It's raising a twelve year old renaissance woman. And if you've ever seen my TikTok, like you know, I'm not just saying it like she's just a joy. So she's in her own renaissance woman's summer camp program. But when you run into people, they they look at you, probably like your codependent, which is true, or you know, you're too neaty with your kid and vice versa, which is probably true that your

kids not in camp. But I love it, and listen, it's annoying, like sometimes you know, a lot of the kids are at camp. But she never wanted to go, and she said she'd go for one week, but that's not how it works. And I really think if she went, and she'd want to she'd be like calling me to come get her, which I wouldn't but I just I don't know. But um, she she can get a little lonely sometimes because she doesn't want to go, but she wants just like a little bit of a fix of

having a friend. And I can be really super awkward because now is the age twelve. You can't say like nine, you're like, oh, Millicent is nine too, like who the fox says? Because you are both born in like Year of the Giraffe, that you're gonna be friends like in Arla. Oh really, Jonathan s fifth? You two, Jonathan s fifth? You want also, you guys should be friends. Put the funk away from me. I don't want to know, Jonathan.

I don't want to know. Anyway. My daughter doesn't necessarily want to just meet someone because I happened to be born the same year as her. So it becomes hard and she there's no way to do it at a nightclub. You have alcohol, you have music, there's something to say, you know. When they're twelve, it's like she's not gonna walk up to some I'm like, hey, come here often.

So it's really hard for them to meet other kids, particularly when you're in a place where all the kids are at camp um so I. But I ended up making her a really nice play date this weekend and we had to sleep over, and it was amazing. My daughter's like me. She loves people until she look like I always know we're not doing a two nights sleep over, Sunshine, because I know that little face of your asn't after you've been up all night high on life, having the

best time. In the morning. She's like a man with a young Instagram model he met at a goddamn bar at four in the morning in the meatpacking district. The morning, she's like, Yeah, I gotta go. I gotta go play golf. I gotta play. She loves the golf golf clubs by the front door. She went to fucking play dates out of here. Yo, she wants to go. She it's all

going good. They come over. We've got the pool, the trampoline and the zip line, the activities, the candy camp momy, do what you want, go on the floaties, have fun, put the dogs on the floaties, Yahoo doing o art activity, the whole nine yards. I'll buy you and your friend, you know, whatever you guys want. Because my dad is not spoiling, so lovely, but you never asked for anything. She bus three pieces of candy in the guy damned the store and everything's going good in the air. What

do you guys want your pizza? Yeah hoo hoo. Girl, don't do it as not worth that beat it. And then she's sleeping. And then I built this whole basement so I could do this podcast and do my my um my h sent. And she gets to come down here and it's got like a separate entrance, so she feels like she has her own apartment. They've got their own bathroom, their own thing. And then miss pac Man, so live your life. Oh and it's they're whooping it up.

Make up that couch, sleep, go ahead, Yes, it's amazing. It's got a fridge down here, candy popcorn machine. You go girl. Next morning, nine o'clock. I look at her. She looks like she just had a one night stand, scarrow running down her face, exhausted friends still here two hours later, she I know that look if there's a little bubble above her head, it's like, get the fuck. Okay, we had a fun and I'm not get the funk out. I'll call you for a booty call next summer. You

gotta get into your points. Can I just tell you you've got to get into these points. We all have points. We I have purchased things, I have then sold them. I have still had the points to show for it. Points. I think of the second largest currency unused points. You have to understand I invested in this company point dot me. I was up in the middle of the night, obsessed

with using the millions of points that I have. And you know there are like different transfer rates and two to one, and on this day there's a special and on these days as a hotel. And some people are savants. Okay, the points guys, and some My best friend is as good, maybe better than the points by she just understands that. She understands the difference between that the Mary. If you have marry at Bombvoydmans, you got to use those up first.

Those go first. Marry at points first. Chase card you buy um all hotels, all eating, all things like that. You book through Chase, luxury goods and electronics. I don't know why, but I think it's about like ensuring them or like replacing them. I don't understand. That's amex. Okay, you book all. You only use m X points for air travel. You only use Chase points for the hotel travel. But you do the marry up before the Chase points because you want to use those up and some are expiring.

And it's a fucking and that has nothing to do with the miles. And it's Delta and sometimes there's some finagle where if like, if you do it through AMEX, it's more, but if you do it through Delta, it's fewer points. So you got a finagle and you transfer your points from AMEX over to Delta first and then book it through Delta. I'm not kidding you. It's crazy. Point up me like gets you through the whole thing. It's the way to use your points. You've got to

get into this. Okay, the smarter I get, the dumber I become. Okay, you most people don't speak this language. Everybody speaks every language. Right, I know the best restaurant. Oh, I know the best hotel. I got the best massage. Guy, I got a diamond. Guy. You need to watch guy. Oh my god, they're on sale here. No, you've got to go to this website. Oh god, it gives you a code. Everybody knows fucking everything about everything. People know more about god damn cannabis and CBD than they do

about points. Nobody knows how to use them. Every single person I know is fucking confused and they just don't deal with it. Guess what they'd be like not using all your gift cards. I want to guy pointless. Okay, I want on a tombstone. She died with no points or credits. Okay, get on point dot me. You will not regret it. It's the best thing to do. You gotta do it.
