Just B Rants: Famously Vile

Published Dec 6, 2022, 5:00 AM

From the Tinder Swindler to Meghan Markle and Andy Cohen. When is the drama good and when is it bad? And why can’t we just unsubscribe!? 

Plus, did Bethenny just come up with a million-dollar idea? 

I touched on the cleans that I wanted to do and not talk about certain people because I felt that whether I talked about them negatively, which some people really have embraced because they thought that it was time for me to say something negative about certain people, um and not have them just be applauded, or if I've talked about them positively, um, whether it's negative or positive. Talking about somebody or something gives it oxygen and air in a time now where being infamous it doesn't. It seems to not matter. I've always heard all press is good press, and I've never agreed with that because it feels like trashy press is really bad and that's a k A cancelation. I don't even know anymore, but I know that there are certain people like I was at the National Holocaust Museum event and they mentioned that person with a K that I stopped talking about, and I thought that they shouldn't have mentioned him by name. And I'm then thinking about the Casey Anthony documentary. I was fascinated by that trial. It was on Nancy Grace every day and the verdict was fascinating, and you know, there was an O. J. Simpson documentary too, And I don't know where the line is with that, because I just feel like these vile people become famous by us doing these documentaries on them and continuing to talk about them, the media talking about them, So maybe they'd rather be famous in any way than just be irrelevant. So we talked about Casey Anthony or the Tender Swindler, or that girl Anna that was a criminal impersonating a princess, or Armie Hammer that was really really disrespecting women, to say it, to put it lightly, if any of it's true, and you know, at the and a lot of these shows are really dissatisfying at the end. The Tinder Swindler at the m're like, oh yeah, and he's now on social media and nothing ever happened to him, And you know, yes, o j something did happen to and he's but he's out of jail. I'm just saying, Casey Anthony is a free person. And I just don't know where the line is in educating people on something like Charles Manson or something like that and glorifying it in some way. That's my problem. The end of Tinder Swindler, that guy is more famous, has more followers, the princess and a woman saying thing more famous more should I go do something really bad to do the time and then in eight years come out and be just so famous because of it. It's just it's a little fucked up. The Menendez brothers, you know, the Billionaire Boys Club, those kids who killed I think it was their parents. Also, it's just I don't know where that line is. Just one more thing on unsubscribing, because I talked about it a lot, and I talked about it on social media, and I just it's it's like, the reason I've talked about it before on this podcast and continue to do so in different iterations, is it keeps devolving into a worse vortex and abyss of unsubscribing. It's right now. Black Friday just passed. We're in Christmas holiday shopping. It's intense. It's intense, and what's not what's the most intense, it's the tiny letters on the bottom to find it. And then they get cute and don't have unsubscribed email preferences for your email preferences. Why don't you funk yourself. I never even got into a relationship with you. Now I have to like do this cryptic morse code brail to get to the bottom and figure out how to unsubscribe, and then I get to another way, what is the reason? And you have to fill in multiple dots to give your reason for what you get in too many emails? Are the emails and bright colors? Do you not like the font? Do you not like what signed? The person who sent the emails? Is like fun right off. I didn't ask for any of this to begin with. It's different. If you're like, hi, send emails, then Hi m send emails. That's a problem enough. Sometimes you order one of those food delivery services and you order one thing and it comes the rest your life and you're trying to break out of prison. It's like the Hotel California can never leave. That's annoying enough this situation. You ordered a lip cross online and you're like in a goddamn cult. You're in a cult with Katherine Oxen Grower's daughter and you can't get the funk out and it's a nightmare. I hate it. The unsubscribe is real. It's like breaking up with someone you were never even in a relationship. But to begin with, it's a silent contract. You you you saw someone on the street. You wave now that I think you're engaged. Why are we engaged? I waved at you. You're sick. Oh, I'm really pisted on subscribe. Half my day is spent on it. Also, sometimes you break up with someone you unsubscribe and they keep coming like it's not it's a fake. We didn't think you really meant it. You know what, you didn't mean that. Let's try it again. We're just gonna try it again. It's yeah, exactly, It's crazy. M hm. Have you guys seen that show Industry on HBO. I just feel like TV needs to push the envelope now so much. It's a show on HBO, which usually I love the every single HBO show, and I watched that show Industry just because once I get started, I kind of just feel invested. Even if I'm not really invested. It's just hard for me to stop a show. I've always been a person who could walk out of a movie, but shows are sort of just like background noise, and I want to have something to do because if I don't finish watching a show, that I have to go think about the next show that I'm going to watch, and that's such a big responsibility and such a massive, gargantuan decision, because if you get into a show, then you're gonna watch the whole show. So and I mean it could take years. I mean, I I started watching Madmen on a trip from Hong Kong and was on their system, so it wasn't on my own system where I know where I was, and I never went back to it again. It was too overwhelming to think about where I left off. I don't know, I'll never know. I never will know. Um and Brent and I forgot that. We're watching Handmaids tell and we love Hamlet's Down. We're in the LAS season. We just forgot because we're also in the middle of this is Us. So it's it's hard to go back. And then you have shows that I watched with Paul and we'll try to get through, like the whole show we were watching. I was watching the show Industry with Paul, and I was watching Red Dragon by myself. So you've got you're by self shows, your family shows, you're with your kids shows, maybe just one kid show, you're with your partners shows. I mean, it's insane. So I need a social For years, I've been saying there needs to be an app that is like your you have, like you have an organizer and assistant, like what am I? What the funk am I watching assistant? Because I know that on Netflix it tells you where you are on Hulu. But like I need that all together. I need that all in one spot. Okay um. Which is a great idea too, that they should have a shopping car. I just remember I have something in a shopping card online, and they should have like one app that has all your shopping cards that were left open and things that you didn't know if you forgot to buy. Because I went into Amazon yesterday and I was like, oh wait, I wanted to buy hair teen hair growth pills for Britain or like gummies, and I saw that there was nothing else left and so I bought that too. And that thing never showed up my house when you want to know why, because I never checked it out. So that's why. So we need that too. But anyway, the show industry, it's young British assholes working on whatever their version of Wall Street is, and everybody's just blowing cocaine at all times, like fucking and cocaine all It's just it's so aggressive and I'm so far in and I'm just like, how gross are people? And they really? I mean, it makes Wall Street look like something that you would watch with your toddler. Okay, so whatever that means to you. It's insane, like the Walls, what the Wolf of Wall Street? Got nothing on this, Like you're in someone's ass doing cocaine. That's what the show is. So I hope you enjoy that. In the financial industry, Andy Cohen went on Megan Markle's archetype podcast, which is interesting and a great get for him, and I had heard. I actually respected that she said. It was in a little bit of a gotcha way to Andy. There was a combination number one first and foremost. I want to say that I respected that Megan Markle said to Andy Cohen, we've met twice before. When he said, nice to meet you. We've met twice before, and then he was like, oh god, I'm being set up for failure now. God knows what I did what I said, And she said, I tried to go on your show and you wouldn't have me on. But it was a little bit of that thing that I can relate to, where like, now you're successful and you're thinking about the people that told you never make it, and you know, oh ha, look at me now. So there was a little bit of that. But also she's not stupid because she might have thought that he might bring up that she tried to get on his show and was declined and turned down, so she caught him off with the pass or she was just being genuinely authentic saying the truth, Hi, we met before, and I tried to get on your show and you got its blew me off. But it was interesting because Andy said, which is now one of the great blunders in thirteen years, that their their show didn't have her on, and I guess she was. She admitted that she was gushing when she met him because she was a Housewives family, which I also knew because I knew this story about Watch What Happens Live and her trying to get on UM. But I don't know why that would be a blunder for for Watch What Happens Live. It's it's like saying it's a big blunder that you know, I don't have a tarot card reader or I didn't have a crystal ball that was going to tell me that you would go from suits, you know, opening briefcases on deal or no deal, being on suits of relatively locally successful, meaning on a smaller network show at the time, it was smaller. I think USA is pretty big now. I don't know, but you know, not a massive show that you would then marry into the royal family and be this infamous person. So it's weird that he said that it was a blunder. I mean, it's just an accidental blunder. There are many people that told me that I wasn't going to either be on the Food Network ever or didn't want to represent me that are now say that whoop. See you know, I guess it's just a retrospect error, but you can't predict what's that's. I mean, I could have someone come over here to you know, give me a pedicure, and then they could become the Queen of England and I could regret that I didn't put them on the podcast. But as a you know, person who's doing my pedicure, I'm not sure that I would put them on the podcast. But who knows. So it's just funny. Um. But I you know, respect her for saying you blew me off, but I also think she's got a little gotcha vibe on there, like she wanted to say to Mariah, Yeah, you uh, you know you're a bit of a diva. You know you're you give off that diva energy. I don't give off that diva energy, but you do. And then Mariah called her out and she's saying to Andy, oh, well, you know, I met you and you kind of blew me off. And I tried to get on your show and you blew me off a little slight like look where I am now, and you know, it's just funny. It was just like slight. But those little slight things she she she does shade a little on her show, which I do respect. She's about a podcast. She's trying to, you know, get the numbers that we all are. But that I found out, No, I just found out to be like a funny little interaction. M
