Bethenny sounds off on gift giving, the holiday rush and why Pete Davidson (and his diamond shooting p*nis) are the Bobby Fisher of dating.

Too many people are talking about Pete Davidson dating Emily Radakowski. I said in two thousand nineteen that he shoots diamonds out of his penis. I'm going to keep saying it until people give me the credit that I deserve. Um. I don't know what I'm gonna get a prize. I don't know, but you know what I'm gonna tell you about that if you people have done this with me, Once people have worked with me, then they can go try to, you know, dine out on that to get a better job. Once you go work somewhere that's hard, you can get a better job. Once you date someone, someone thinks, oh, they dated that person. I keep he just started off strong. Could have been accidental, could have been intentional. He started off strong, and then it was all up once you have well if Ariana Grande dated him, well, it started off with the person who started was Larry David's daughter, all right, David. Larry David's daughter Arianna on Day dated him. All right. Then you get Kate Puckinsale. Then you get the you know, you're just basically building blocks. It's like a role. Oh this person had an extra role and say by the bell. The next one is, oh they had they had a you know, main role on you know a line in Modern Family. The point is just keep building, Just keep building, one step at a time. It's like a marathon. Marathon one was Larry David's daughter Marathon too was Ariana Grande. Keep going, keep building, get stronger, hit your stride. Kim Kardashian, you think that's the biggest I got. No, Well, I'm gonna go with the hotter girl. I'm gonna go with Emily. You know what. He is not fucking around and be a professional dater. Do whatever you want, whatever works, whatever works. But he he kept raising that stock and it hasn't crashed, and I don't think it's going to crash. Who is this guy gonna marry? Who is this guy gonna marry? It's not gonna that's stock. That was a move. Going from Kim to Emily was a power move. Give it to him, Give it to him, bowed down. My motherfucker's playing chess. The chess. The Bobby Pete Davidson is the Bobby Fisher of dating. I'm addicted to gift giving. Addicted. You get in a whole you buy gifts and you think they're right, and you get ahead of time. You get ahead of it. And I did it all in November and I was done. And then it gets closer to season and there's sales, and then you start thinking about the people, and then you see other things, and then you spend so much more and you end up buying gift after gift, and it's it's an endless journey. And then sometimes and I have a gift closet, I'm like the I'm like a I'm a micro candy spelling of gifts. I really do. I have a gift system. I get storage, I have a gift closet. I'm a gifter, three hundred gifts, a gift system, the whole spe a little Elves Santa. It's a it's a situation like three gifts. But I and then I buy things when they're on sale and put them in my gift closet, really pretty candles and picture frames and soaps and whatever. And now I have a lot of beauty products that come in, so I elevate those with gift baskets and beauty beauty like pretty cosmetic bags, and elevate wine with you know, gorgeous chocolates, I order online, and then they're left over after Christmas, and then they're in the gift closet for next Christmas. And it's like a Ponzi scheme. It's like a pyramid scheme. I can't get out no matter what because I always want to have enough, and what if you forgot someone? You know? So I always have gifts just on standby. And now with this beauty stuff, I just I walk out the door with a makeup bag filled with beauty. Whoever is nice to me. Could be the dry cleaner, could be the tailor, could be the manicurist, could be a hostess at a restaurant, could be someone anywhere. Just hear some beauty. Just if you happen to see me, there's a chance that I would have some beauty in my car. So I love Christmas. I love giving gifts, but it is an addiction. It is an addiction. I can't stop. And if I go into one story to get one thing, I get so many and online and the sales it's crazy, it's really really crazy. Are we rushing the holidays? I like it. When I was a kid, Halloween had its own moment even in stores. Thanksgiving had its own moment. Christmas had its own moment, and people were getting trees still on December fift That escapes me because you're spending money on a tree, you're taking the time decorate, you don't get to enjoy it that long. I I am. You know, listen, we're in the Jiffy Lube, drive through coffee, Get it immediately, social media by it now generation. I like the rushing of the holidays. I this year sent my gifts out while there was still an end at the beginning of the month, where I used to feel embarrassed if gifts were coming in, you know, right at the end of November. Now I feel excited because I feel like we got it done. It doesn't get lost in the shovel of people's gifts. They're not away often when they received the gifts. Because I found that the thank you for gifts are way more abundant this year than years prior. Because we usually I usually I am waiting around until like it's the first week of December. It's harder to the little it's harder to deliver many of the gifts because of traffic. Shipping is more delayed because of the holidays. And I found that people don't thank you because it's delayed and they don't get it until January. They're caught up in everything and you don't even know if they received it. And you're getting a lot more oh, thank you and appreciation for gifts, So just think about that. Um. Also, if you get a gift, if you get a bonus, if you get anything, pick up a phone and thank someone because people don't thank people. I've given up bonuses and no one even thanks me. No one even says anything. And I don't know if they're uncomfortable about money or what it is, but it's weird. You give bonuses and you feel like you're generous, and some no one even says a word. You did you get that? So thank people for whatever you receive. I just I found this over the years. It's been absolutely shocking. Very very few people are appreciative and express it. But I don't mind the Russian. I like getting into Halloween. I love having Christmas last longer. Listen, you might be working, you might be traveling, and then you can't enjoy your Christmas tree that much. If you're putting up a Christmas tree or a manure or celebrating the holidays in any way, well let's get the party started. I I sometimes I look at my Christmas tree and say, I wish I just had a Christmas tree with you know, that was a f all year round. So it's such a joy. Um, I love it.
