Whole Drink Person w/ Tinx

- We are Aaron and Sarah Foster. - We have a podcast. We're here to basically ask you to listen to it. We're just trying to help you guys not make the same mistakes that we made in life. - Yeah, we made a lot. - Especially me, I really went to Sounds and Dark Roads, trying to save you guys from that. Our podcast is called The World's First Podcast. We are technically the sisters behind the nobody wants this podcast. It's inspired by us because you wrote it. - Yeah, that's true. But when I write, I am inspired by myself all the time. - Right, that would make sense. You inspire you. - We're gonna wrap this up. - Okay. - Guys, go check it out. It's The World's First Podcast. (upbeat music) - Hey everyone, I'm Morgan Stewart and welcome to The Morgan Stewart Show. I'm gonna be talking about pop culture, fashion, my personal life, and just a warning, I will be giving my opinions on everything. And those opinions are subject to change, okay? Now, let's get into it. - Oh my God, thanks. Hi, welcome. - I'm so honored to be here. I'm so excited for your show. - Thank you. - This is a long time coming. The people need you back. - I'm so appreciative of you saying that and can I say it feels more official that we are in New York. - I know, it does feel like we're down to business here. - And it feels like I was on your show earlier. But it's so fun that you get to live, I have lots of questions, but it's so fun you get to live in fucking New York City. - So fun. - Run your own life, pay your own bills, you get to hop over to Sirius XM, do your show, take a few calls. Like, how fucking cool is that? - I feel very lucky. Honestly, this morning, I woke up, I was a little hungover. I, and I, (laughing) and I, you know, I went on a fabulous state last night and I put on my outfit and I get to come talk to you today and I thought, not in a boastful way in a really grateful way. This is the life I always dreamed of. Like, I always wanted to have the closet and the friends and the parties and, you know, this exact kind of life. So I feel very lucky. I love it. - Is this the happiest you've ever been? - It is. - It is. - Really truly. - And what makes you the happiest right now? - I think when I feel like I am doing what I'm supposed to do and I'm trying hard at it, that makes me feel very good. Which is the most Virgo answer ever. - Oh my God, hello. I'm Virgo, well, can we just get that out of the way first? - Yes. - Your Virgo son. - Virgo Virgo cancer. - Okay, and what's your venison? - I don't know. - Yeah, did we talk about this the other night? You don't know your venison? - I know. - I know. - Guys, we need to figure that out. And I know that's become a chick of mine, but you have to know your whole-- - I know, I only know my big three, I know. But I feel very Virgo-y. I'm very Virgo-y. - Are you neat? - No, there's actually three types of Virgo. I know you know this. - No, no, no. Okay, no, tell the people, because I want you to explain it. - Well, there's three types of Virgos, 'cause everybody's always like, you're a Virgo. Why are you so messy? (laughs) And I'm the third type. And we are not really governed by neatness. It's more, we know where everything is. It's just, we almost are so busy doing our micro-managing and our world building that we don't go. Oh, there's a shirt on the floor. Who cares? I'm thinking up my next idea. I'm figuring out how to fix my friend's life. And you want me to worry about a shirt on the floor? - Do you feel zen when you're cleaning things up and organizing, though? - Not really. - Okay, so I'm the same type of Virgo, because I just realized we both share Virgo rising, which is a very serious type of Virgo. Like, I'm talking to you, and I have a million things going on in my head right now, right? I'm like, do we sound okay? Do we sound like we're underwater? Am I asking questions in English? Like, it is a lot to deal a lot. It's, we're very heavy. - We're very heavy. Not to mention, not to double dip in this. I'm Gemini's son, which is also ruled by Mercury. So I have like the double whammy with that, but to bring it around for you, I don't know, you're very excited to know this. My son is Virgo Moon, which that is like the most organized, right? Is that fair? - Yes, yes it is, it is. That's like the organizing, that's the neatness, that's the order, which is amazing. - Which is amazing. - Yeah, okay. We love him, yeah, but Virgo's intense. Okay, so you went out last night. Where was your date last night? We went to a steakhouse on the Upper East Side. How was the food? Oh, I guess it was more in Midtown, but it was fine, it was good, it was fun. But my point is, I just am very fulfilled by my life right now. I really, I want to be in love, you know that, but I'm very, very happy being single. And I always feel like single people sound defensive when we say that, but I truly, I'm very morbid, and then I think about my own mortality a lot. So I feel like - Same. Every day is a gift, and I'm not saying that in a corny way. It's because I'm so morbid, and I'm like, wow, I get to be here, and this is amazing. And I love this phase of my life, and I do feel like people vastly overlook singleness. I think they think, oh, it's just a waiting room to get to the part where your life begins. And I don't view it that way. I think it's an incredible time to get to know yourself and to have adventures and to have fun. And I'm just really enjoying myself right now. - I love to hear that. And can I say, I really agree. Do you think that also there's a groove when you're single? Like, you've hit that groove. I had that groove in between my first marriage separating, and then being with Jordan, there was a seven-month span of me being alone. I lived in my first apartment. And honestly, my only apartment I had ever had, paying my own rent, paying my own bills. I was working at E, doing all these shows. I was taking myself to dinner with my girlfriends. I was working out, and that I think was the most amount of time I had spent by myself learning about myself. And I was in that groove. I was so happy to be at the age I was, living my life. Not like following my life and following different people. And I really feel that same energy from you right now. I will tell you, this is the time before you jump off the cliff because you get to get to this point where you're like, I'm so happy I get to do what I want. I'm independent, I have family, I have friends, I know what I value, I know what I don't value. And then all of a sudden you look behind you and then your husband's there. So I'm just warning you on that. - I know. - And then you have babies and then your whole life begins. And that's a whole other set of beautifulness, but it's definitely very different. So really take the time. - You're enjoying it. - And enjoy it. Okay, I want to talk about you. I was going to ask you what your workout routine is and what you had for breakfast, but we're not even going to do that. I ripped the paper up. - I had two Brazil nuts and two coffees. Well, okay. - Wait, I'm sorry, the hold on. You open your eyes, we're awake. - I was hungover and I was like, okay, I have glam. And I need to get up. And so I just got this coffee machine. - What kind? - It's a Delongi and it's really fancy. And I'm obsessed with it. And I immediately made two flat whites. And I keep my Brazil nuts next to my coffee machine because I saw, I'm not even going to lie. I saw in TikTok that if you eat two Brazil nuts a day, it completely balances your thyroid. And I can't confirm what you're doing it for a week. I feel quite balanced, I will say. So I have started doing it every morning. And I just love it. I love my routine. - Do you have thyroid issues? - Yeah, honestly I do. I have a Hashimoto's. - So do I. - I went on Synthroid and it didn't do anything. - So do I. - I went for a year and a half, it did jack all. - Jack fucking all bitch. Okay, wait, can we get the nuts first of all? Let's make sure we order the nuts. - Seriously, it was a very convincing video. - So you've had tube nuts and coffee and that was it and to get you up and going out of the house. - Well, 'cause I didn't have time. Usually I have a breakfast taco every single morning. I have the skinny tortilla, it's 35 calories. You can get it at a Whole Foods is the best thing ever. And then I have an egg with a little cheese and hot sauce. And I have it every single morning and I have to have two coffees every single morning. - Two, okay. - Yeah, it has to be flat white whole milk organic. - Same, I'm all about whole milk. - All about it, what were we even doing? - By the way, I never, I never floundered. I always stuck with the whole milk. - I like that about you. - Yeah, I like that. I'm a bit more, I'm influenceable, is that a word? - Yes. - We'll go with it. And I drank that nasty, soggy ass water almond milk. - Oh no, fuck that. - For all those years. I was like, yeah, it's nice, I guess. It's fine. Taste disgusting. - Disgusting. - And it's all legislates in your coffee. - The coagulate, like I just see it curdling on the top. I had to get a spoonful of cottage cheese down this morning. I thought my intestines were gonna come up with it. It was so disgusting. I am a whole drink person. I like whole coke, I like whole milk. Anything with full fat, full calories, full bups. - Oh yeah, I know that about you, the coat. You like a full fat coke. - Love it, I've really had to part with it because it was making me really ugly and like greens. - Can I say that me and my best friend have a thing that unfortunately soda does make you kind of ugly? - It makes hideous. - How much prettier have I gotten now that I don't have coke as much? No, in the last week, there's, I'm illuminated. - I have this interview. It's burned in my mind from when I was in my teenage years. I can't remember if it was in a magazine, but it was Hillary Duff. - Okay. - And she said, I quit soda and it really made me look prettier. I cannot remember where. And that has stuck with me. Like, I can't remember my own fucking last name, but I can remember this Hillary Duff interview. And that has stuck with me and every time. I mean, I love soda, like I will never quit it, but I do think about that. - No, I do try to temper it a little bit. - I had a few steps today and I felt really naughty 'cause I haven't been drinking it. - It's okay as a treat. - It's okay as a treat, but I was literally having like two a day because my-- - Me too. - And I was like, oh no, I can't like the acne on the neck is not working on the television, or on the podcast again, YouTube star again. (laughing) Let's move on. Okay, so let's talk about you because as I was saying to you off mic off air, I don't know what to call it. You just came to be for me on the internet with the videos. And at first I told you, I was like, I wasn't sure if you were making fun of like the me's and the Dorothy's of the world, you were not. And I got clarification. Where did you grow? I mean, I knew you grew up in London. - I grew up in London. My parents are American. We moved when I was really little. I was a baby. - Where were you born? - DC. - Okay, you were born DC. Okay, so you moved to London. They are American. - Yeah, they're American. And we grew up there. I moved back to the States when I was 19 to go to college. And so you did high school and everything in London. - I'm British school. And I did have an accent when I was at school. - Can I tell you, sorry not to cut you off 'cause I need to get this out. I have noticed the accent come out in recent videos in the last two weeks. - I feel like, well, 'cause I was just home. - Okay. - I feel it and I hadn't been home in like a year almost. - Okay. - And I do feel it comes out sometimes. - It does. - Yeah, it comes out with certain. And if I go home it comes out a lot more. But I used to have a full British accent at school and a full, American went at home and not to make it sound like I'm obsessed with celebrities, but I am. There's a very good Gwyneth Paltrow interview where she was saying that her kids did that when they lived in London because they were, they have the two accent thing. Because you don't want to be different from your peers and you don't want to be different from your parents. Because you go home and I would be like, it would be embarrassing to speak in my British accent in front of my parents. I can't explain why, but. No, I totally get that. You know, I have some American British friends that also kind of do that back and forth. Okay. You do, you do London, a college in, or sorry, high school in London. Yeah. You go to college. Yes, Stanford. Stanford. You got in, let's pause on that. You got in right out of high school. Yes. What were your grades like in high school? They were mid, honestly. I love when people were like, I got into Stanford, but they were fucking mid. But I'm really, that's not how, that's not where I show my cleverness. Okay. I had amazing essays and I was, you know, it was all that really creative stuff. But I did quite badly on the SATs and I'm not a test taker. What was the SAT score of a fascinated with people's SAT scores? I don't even remember. But, well, so because I went to a British high school, I had to do like tutoring outside because it was a totally different way of learning. Right. In England, I went to private school, but it's very like show your work like, oh, if you, even if you get the answer wrong, if you have a good idea, we'll still give you points for it, which is the opposite SAT. The SAT is like right or wrong. Right. And so when I did the SAT, I did so badly that I had to go to this SAT camp in Berkeley. Happily. Yeah, I went for one summer. Okay. It was so intense. We would do SAT for like all day. It was like three weeks. It was hell. And then I still did quite shit. But I think I got it. See it quite shit. Yeah. It comes out of the fuck. I love it. Okay. But, you know, I think it was like the creative thing and I don't know. I mean, I think so because I had really like wacky essays and I'm very lucky. I absolutely loved it. I'm one of those annoying people who was like college was the best time in my life because it was. It was. So you had a great four years. And because I had come from a British all-girl school with a uniform, I was a virgin when I went to college. Oh, my God. And I was like, I want to get highlights. I want to hook up with a water polo player and I want to be present in my sorority. And I did all those things. In what order? What came first? Definitely the highlights. Fuck yes. I got it's California. I was like bleach me up, baby. Yeah. Oh, my God. Are you kidding? It's the best. There is no better feeling than that fresh bleach just scratching the scalp. It was amazing. I was really tan. And I loved it. I just, it was such a joyful, easy time in my life. And I didn't really work that hard with my grades in Stanford either because I was like, well, I'm here. I got it. And I got it. Who cares? So it was fabulous. And then after that, I moved to San Francisco for four years. And what did you do in San Francisco for four years? I worked at Gap. So I started my career in fashion. The Gap has a program called the retail management program. And it's a bootcamp for people who think they want to be retail execs, which I did at the time. And it's a really prestigious-- No, I'm-- Whatever. No, I'm obsessed with all the prestige happening, the Stanford, the mid grades, but getting in. No, I live for it. I'm eating it up. They call it the Harvard of retail. They really do. That's not me. That's not me. And it's a very rigorous selection process. And then for nine months, you rotate through their different brands and you through different positions. So being a buyer, being a whatever, whatever. Turns out I was actually bad at that because it's quite-- being in corporate America is kind of like the SATs. It's quite like-- Yeah. And I was like, I have this idea. And they were like, no, you know, they were like, we're not doing that. We are on a schedule. And so I was not the best at that job. OK. And finally, so I did the program that I worked at an inter-public in menswear. Oh, so you stated fast in fashion? Yeah, I did. I did fashion. I did that for like, I think three years. And then they were like, you need to leave or we will fire you. And I was like, understood. I got it. And at the time, I was obsessed with Poshmark. I was obsessed with like buying stuff on Poshmark and reselling my clothes on Poshmark. And I remember back in the day when H&M would do collabs with designer brands and it would like sell out. Aren't they still doing that? Yeah. But like back in the day, it was like a thing. So hot thing. And they did it. What's one you remember? What's one collab? The Balmain one. Oh, yeah. So I hired a-- what's it called like a-- I hired a-- not a door dash to like a taskrabbit. Taskrabbit. I hired a taskrabbit to hang a TV for me once. Okay. It's a sleep outside of H&M. Shut the fuck up. So that I could be first. And then I went and I bought like as much as they would let me buy. And then I sold all on Poshmark. And then I wrote an article for a finery 29. Oh my god. This is so-- Not niche, but niche, okay. And then Poshmark reached out and they were like, you're insane that you love Poshmark so much. Come and have a copy with us. And that's how I got to know Poshmark. And then I worked at Poshmark for a year after that. And I loved it. That was such a happy time in my life too. That was really good. I worked on marketing and special projects for Poshmark. And I love like vintage. I love thrifting. I love all that stuff. So it was an amazing year. Okay. And then I was like, okay, I love the base so much, but all my friends are going to business school. And I can't count. So I can't do that. So I should go to do something in fashion. So I moved to New York to do a master's in fashion journalism at Parsons. Okay. I'm obsessed with this journey. I'm glad I didn't ask you any of these questions the other night. Okay. It's long. Okay. It's me. I love people's journey like this. And then I was really lost in grad school because I knew in my heart, I was just kind of like biting time because I didn't really have like, how long was that program? Two years. Okay. It was two years. Yeah. Had you lived in the dorm? No, no. I lived at home. Yeah. And I was just like, God, I feel like I have so much passion and I want to be good at something. And I feel like I'm not fulfilling my purpose, which for anyone is hard, but for my personality is really hard. Yes. Oh my God. I was like, what am I going to do? And I went to Arizona to Sedona and I had this reading with this woman. She read my chart. Give it to me, baby. I talked to me about it. And she was like, she was like, you're not fulfilling your purpose. And I was like, I know. And she was like, you're not using any of the tools in your toolbox. You're not giving the world like what you need to be doing. And then she said, you're here on earth. She was like, you are queen in a past life, but you're here on earth to do things for women to help women. And I was like, I don't want to work in philanthropy. That was my honest reaction. I was such a bitch. So I was like, I was like, you don't see a magazine editor in there. And she was like, she's like, you're here to help women. And I was like, what the fuck? Like, I was like, no, I'm not. Oh my God. And I was freaking out. And then I was like, okay, well, I don't know what to do. So I guess I'll move to LA. So then I moved to LA. I was doing literally every, I could not get a job. I went back when I started like, when I was an influencer and I started like working with Goop or being friends with Goop. I went back and I looked at how many emails I had sent to Goop begging for a job back in the day. Literally hundreds. Why were you able to get what year was this? 2019, almost 2020. Oh my God. She's so good at years. I could not recount my whole life like this, okay? And I was begging every brand in LA for a job. No one could give me a job. So I was doing like literally this and that odd jobs. And then the pandemic and all of my little odd jobs dried up and I was like, oh my God, I'm 30. I'm a failure. I have nothing to show for all my friends from school have these amazing jobs and I have nothing. And I'm stupid and I'm an idiot. And I was in temporary. Like I was in, I lived like above a strip club on La Siena. Fabulous. Which one? No, I think I know where you want to. Yeah. Yeah. And I was like, I'm going to have to move home. I, this is terrible. Like as soon as I can fly, I have to move back to London. Like I don't have any money. I moved back in with my parents. And I was like, then I was watching the news and I'm very alarmist and I was like, oh my God, we're all going to die. We're all going to die. This is like, we're going to die soon. So I was like, fuck it. I'm going to make some videos because I don't care anymore. Because we're dying. Because we're dying. We're fucking dying, yeah. And then as soon as I started making videos, I was like, this is what I was supposed to be doing all along. And I just never thought, seriously, my self-esteem is rock hard. But I never thought that like I could be an influencer because I didn't feel like I was pretty enough or like that I had my life together enough. And it was right at the turning point. I was at the right place, the right time, not only with TikTok, but because people were like a little bit ready for a more realness, you know. And it was just the right place for a time. And now I'm here. So what gave you the ideas of the videos? Like because they were very specific and very well researched. Like you obviously have to be a very intelligent person to like be able to market those different areas as well as you did. And those niche, I mean, it's very specific. I'm very millennial and I think we love like a list. We love like a, like, oh, like this is what your favorite this says about you. And I just happen to know a lot about the major cities in America. I love, I love like the things that make a place a place. You know, I love the coffee in New York is this and the coffee in LA is that. And this is what people, I always love that kind of stuff. And I just had this idea like, you know, what if I kind of brought a meme to life in that way. And it's a very millennial humor and it really hit, you know, TikTok is a different place now. But it was really fun back then. I mean, yeah, I mean, I feel like it really worked out for you. Okay, so you're in LA for how much longer until you moved to New York? So then I was there for five years. Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. Yeah. I bought a house. I was really doing like the influencer thing for the first couple of years from TikTok money. Can someone pay me on TikTok with it is going, I have not made a single cent on TikTok, but that's for after. Okay. It's so crazy. And I was so like proud. I felt, oh, my God. This is my first home. And I'm buying it from it. Just your life can turn around so quickly. You really never know what's going to happen. And I went from being like thinking I was going to have to move back into my parents to like buying a house in two years and it was a really wonderful time. And I loved it. I obviously thought I was going to be an LA forever. Right. And then I don't know, you change. And I think, I think, did you change or did LA change? I think both. And I've been really critical of LA in the past. And I don't want to do that anymore. It's the worst. It's given me so much. And it's a wonderful city full of wonderful people for where I'm at in my life right now. We don't mesh. But I, you know, I kept my house. I love LA. It will always be home to me. It's just not. I agree. By the way, you know, Embryter has changed so much. It's hard to live there. It really is. I think that, you know, the entertainment industry is obviously the heartbeat and the pulse of the city. And I think that because it's in such flux and such disarray right now, I think the city feels off-kilter and disjointed. And then you layer on the strikes, the fires. It's gone through a lot. A lot. And it's just, it will recalibrate. Cities go through ups and downs. But right now it's having a tough time. It is stressful. And, you know, I, I love LA. And I, I want to see her to prosper right now. I feel like my kids are in fifth grade. It's going to be back. Totally. It totally. Because it's just a long time. But yeah, but when, when, think about LA, when I was in my 20s, LA was the center of the universe. It was golden. And you wanted to be in LA the fashion, the music, the food, the culture. Everything was from LA. And I remember visiting and just being like, this is the coolest place in the world. Like, I hope I get to live here one day. Yep. And it'll come back. It's, it's a historic city. It's a beautiful city. It's a textured, vibrant city. It just, it's like, it's just going through something right now. It's going, it's, we all do. We all do. Okay. So then you move to New York. And so, first of all, how long have you done your serious show? I don't even know that. Four years. Four years. I could have googled that, but I wanted to have this authentic conversation. No, no, no, yeah. I wasn't going to do that. I wanted to know. I think back to the first show, I can't believe they gave me the show because I didn't know what I was doing. How did that happen? Well, I was like, I want to do a podcast. And so, and they were like, well, what about? And I really had always loved radio. I took a radio class at Stanford. And I, like, love Howard. And I was like, if I could do that too, having zero experience, that would be great. And they were like, okay, we'll give you this show, whatever. I remember being so panicked the first morning of my radio show. I was like, oh my god. It was so scary. And I can't even bear to listen to those first episodes anymore because I was so, I didn't know anything. I didn't have any flow. And now I'm here. And I just, it's my favorite thing in the world. Like, I love radio. The most, the most, the most. It's so fun for me. And I just, I love, I love it. Yeah, I feel like it suits you really well. And I feel like the way, I mean, I was obviously on the show, but the way your ability to listen to those questions, take everything in and kind of answer from all different points of you. It's not just like a straight shoot. Like, I would be like, fuck him. But like, you really give a thoughtful answer. So your fans are very lucky to have you as an outlet for that. It's fun. I like it. Okay. Should we talk about your personal life? Yeah. Let's do it. Well, let's talk about what we have in common because, okay, so last year we hung out, was it last year or was September? It was like September. You came to a ranked dinner. Yeah. We were talking about you meeting my infamous medium. Through I, we have a mutual friend. I gave her the medium. I said, don't tell anyone about this fucking medium. She told you about the medium because obviously that's what best friends do. And she's even more wacky doodle than me about it, though. And I told I was like, this is going to be like change your life. Yeah. And so you met with him. How long? I feel like we had dinner my birthday, which was like a few days after. What's the date of your birthday? September 19th. And it was a few day. I think we had the dinner and then a few days later it was my birthday. And I wanted it to be very auspicious and speak to him on my birthday. This stuff. I want to know. I want, first of all, you get on the Zoom. Like, talk me through it. Are you in your apartment? You open the Zoom. Are you nervous? I'm lying on my bed. And I was like, oh, God, what's he going to say? And a lot of it hit then. But the stuff that has come to be since then is actually wild. It is actually insane. And everything I was like, oh, that's not going to make sense. It's all come to fruition. So I have every reason to believe that him saying in the next five years, I get married, which is crazy for me to think about. And he said it's all going to come together in the next five years. But my favorite thing about him is that he makes you feel like you're where you need to be. And that's like the best feeling is, you know, I think in life, we are so preoccupied with like the next thing. And oh, my God, what are we going to do? But just having the reassurance you are on the path is the best feeling. I mean, first of all, I think it's going to happen in less than five years. His personality is so calming and so wonderful. Oh, my God. Is there something specific that you'll share that he said that you're like, I didn't click for you on the call. But then after you were like, oh, my God, like he has given me actual names of people that come into my life after literally. Okay. What's the name? I can't say. Oh, my God. Is it a man? Yeah. Is it a man you're currently seeing? No, it's a guy that it's a guy who's in my life. And he said, is there an ex in your life? And I said, yes. And he said, I said, oh, is this going to, are we going to, is there going to be something romantic? And he said, no. And I was like kind of bummed. And he was like, but he's going to call you. And this thing is going to happen. And you're going to do this thing together. And it literally happened. Wait, is it, do I know what it is? I will not say what it is, but it didn't happen recently. I'll tell you after it's fucking insane. Did it happen recently? Yeah. Okay. That is insane. No, it's, it's legit insane. It's so crazy. And, and it really crazy stuff about my best friend about like my boob job, like he knew about my boob job. Okay. Can we talk about the boob job? Your boob job is amazing. Am I allowed to say that on the radio? Your boob job looks so fucking good. It's insane. Who did it? I'm not saying because I'm going to have them on my podcast and get them to use for myself. Okay. No, fair. Okay. So what did he say about the boob job? Because he, okay, I'll tell you something after two. He was like, well, that was the first thing he said. He was like, oh, you were having a conversation about something to do with breast this morning. And I was like, because I was talking to my friend, talking to my girlfriend, who was also getting a boob job. And she was going to get this special type of boob job because she had the breast cancer. And he, he was like, he was like saying about it. He was like, you were talking about some breast, something there's no breast cancer. Don't worry, but you were talking about it. And I was like, yeah, I was. And he was like, and there's something to do with that. And you, and you're, who you're talking about it with, you're both going to do, and I was like, oh my god. I was like, oh, my fucking god. And that was how he opened. Had you had already scheduled the appointment? Yeah. And did he mention about the where it was going to be? Like, did he say LA or anything like that? No, but he was like, and it's, you're going to like, yeah. And I was like, oh my god. And he was like, yeah, you're going to love it. He told me like two years ago, you're going to have something done with your eyes. And at that point, I was like, I'm not going to. I'm not going to. And lately, it is all I think about. And like, I feel like he just really, I mean, he predicted my nanny. I did not have a nanny. He said, I'm telling you right now, a woman named Liz is going to come into your life two weeks before a woman named Liz going to come into your life. And she's going to bring fresh beginnings. And it was like a turning point with nannies for the kids two weeks later, I was on the same with a woman named. And she's been with me now for like four years. That's insane. He knows every single thing. Everything. And I like will go back. Did you write notes? Oh, I recorded that. Of course, obviously. But he has told me things like I have notebooks of like different names and different, just random throwaway things. And I'm like, how did you know that? And how has this come true? Well, also the stuff that he's told our mutual friend is the most, it's that most batch of all. Okay, so I want to know, I feel like from this seat, you are so accomplished. She's basically accomplished everything that you have wanted to. I mean, books, what's happened? You've had how many books? Two books. They're both being turned into TV shows. That's really exciting. I know that. Let's talk about that. That's fucking crazy. It's amazing. It's that how does that even happen? God, it was honestly such a, that was a moment where I was like, okay, I have officially imposter syndrome. It just, I mean, I'm so lucky. And the process for making a TV show is really slow. So everyone's like, what's the update? I'm like, we're working on it. We're doing it. But it's amazing. And it's really fun to learn a new medium. Like, it's, you know, it's fun to work on something more long term. I've never written for TV before. So working with incredible writers and learning from them is really fun. And it's nice to kind of roll up my sleeves and work on something that's a bigger project. Do you have an air date for that show? Not yet. Okay. I'm like, that's the most of fucking, it's like impossible, right? Like getting that all done. We're chugging away. It's going great. Both of them are going really, really well. But it'll be a while. Is there one goal for yourself that you have not accomplished that you're like, this is the thing that I'm like, I've done all these amazing things. I'm so happy in my life. But if I could just accomplish this one thing or I would like this one thing. I mean, I guess to be in love, like I guess that I guess that you've been in love. Yeah, many times. Many times. Oh, would you say it was love every time? Not all, but a few. Yeah, I'm three times. I think no, probably more. I've had like 17,000 boyfriends. Like I love boyfriends. Okay. I love it. Like I've dated a lot of people. I love very easily. And I think that's maybe people don't know that about me because I can be a hard ass with my advice or I can feel like I have like high standards. But like I'm, I'm a lover girl. I really am. Okay. So to be in love and then you're going to have babies. If that's in the cards for me, it is. You're going to have a girl first. Did he say anything about that? I hope so. He didn't. But my other friend is a baby witch. She knows only about babies. And she said I'm going to have a daughter in three years. And I believe her. I agree. I just said that to you. I know. I know. I know. I believe you too. Okay. Good. But it's going to be less than five. And he always extends his time frames because he always says like I don't have any contact time. But he's always right. He's always right. Yeah. Okay. Can we talk about your life in New York? Please. It's so fun. It's so fun. But We have to just say this publicly. The food in New York, not to bash it, is terrible. - It's not good. - It's not good. - It's not good. And it took me a year to come to that realization and then it's stuck in and now I can't stop thinking about it and I'm having like a dinner crisis. I know this is gonna be like, oh, what fucking snob, whatever. - No, I'm, hello, you're at the right place. - It's just, when you come from LA, the food is so fresh and there's such good, every type of food, casual, fancy, whatever you want. It's just so good. - Every, and all categories, right? So we kill sushi, we kill Mexican food, we kill fucking oysters. I mean, everything, yeah, exactly. - It's just like, I feel like sometimes, New York, takes itself too seriously with the food scene. And I'm like, you guys, instead of just making such a big song and dance about it, just cook, just do the good stuff. - Just shut the fuck up and cook the food. - It's all right, like it's cool. And I don't know, I just, and it's also so expensive here. - Everything is so expensive. - What do you mean the dinner was $300? It wasn't even, like, it's, it's, anyway. I prefer the food in LA. - Okay, so what's your, I mean, I'm gonna ask you this, but what's, like, when you're, first of all, how are you meeting people? 'Cause I was gonna go into, like, your date, favorite date spot, but like, how are you even going out with people on dates? - So, okay, people, my big thing is to eat the apps. I've deleted all of them, but one, and I go on very sparsely. - What's the one, do you wanna say? - I don't wanna say. - Okay. - But people think there's no way to meet people in person, and I totally disagree. Every single boyfriend I've had in the wild, I've never dated anyone from an app. And all the people that I go on dates with, I meet out. And people are like, how do you meet them? And I'm like, you guys, people met before dating apps. - Yeah. - And that, those parts of life haven't gone away. There's still parties, there's still dinner parties, there's still bars and whatever restaurants, you go sit at the bar, you talk to people with a friend, whatever. It's just that people, I think, it does take effort. I'm out five nights a week. - But are people approaching you or are you approaching people? - I can't mix, but my point is if you wanna meet someone-- - You go out. - You go out, they're not gonna come knocking at your door and say, you know, oh, here I am, the love of your life. You have to put yourself in, not uncomfortable, but you have to push yourself sometimes. You have to say, if your friend says, oh, do you wanna come to this dinner party with me, and you're exhausted, and you're already here for jammas, and if you wanna meet someone, you say, yeah, let me throw on some makeup and I'll be there, and you go and you try to meet someone. - No, I think that's very valid because also, I meet so many girls who are single and they're like, but I'm in my 30s, I'm tired, I don't wanna go out. Well, then how the fuck do you think your life is changing? - I know, I know. - You need to get up. - I get that question all the time. People will be like, "Ting's, I don't drink, and I hate to go out, and I have social anxiety, and this and that, but I don't wanna go in the apps." And I'm like, I'm kinda shit out of luck then. Like, I don't know what to tell you, that's tough. - And also the nights that you're going out last minute, and you're scrambling to get ready, those are always the best nights. - 100%. - I have visions of myself back in the day when I was single and I was like, I'm so exhausted, and I had no kids, I had no reason to be tired, but I got myself together, and those were the nights, like I remember more than any other night. - Of course, you have to go out. I'm not saying you have to drink, but you have to go out. - You should drink, no, I'm kidding. - Well, I mean, I love to drink. I am like, I feel bad. - You're good at it. - You're good at it. - Such a bad rep and people, like, Gen Z, doesn't drink and all this stuff. It's like, we need to do away with all this clean girl aesthetic. It's, you can have balance. You can, I do it all. I get up in the morning and I work out. You can do it all, but this demonization of going out to drinks is literally terrible for us, and then everybody's complaining all I'm so lonely, and I'm like, yeah, because you don't leave your house. - 100%. I also don't know anyone who doesn't drink. - Okay, that's good. - No, one percent. I mean, my mom can take down an entire bottle of red wine and have two tequila's wake up at six o'clock in the morning, no fucking problem. My grandmother is going to be 101 next week, and she has a gin and tonic every day and two cigarettes. - And that's what I like to hear. - Okay, dies her hair, box, box die red, red. And that bitch has had a stroke three months ago and she's up and running. - Up and kicking. - You need to, I think alcohol relaxes you. It does, I will say my journey with alcohol is if I have any alcohol with no food, like I did the other night, it takes me four days to recover eight. It really, it really hurts. And I will say back to our friend. He said to me, the older I get, the harder, yeah, my substance is alcohol is going to be on me. - I hate that. - And he's right because even one drink, I'm like, oh my God, I'm tired. - I know. - I love alcohol so much. - It is about if you eat before. I have noticed these days if I don't eat and I have a martini. - Forget it. - I'm black out, like half a one. - Blackout and waking up the next morning and there's like a lash on you. - Yeah. - And you think it's a spider? - Yeah, it's a lot. But you know, there's this Winston Churchill quote, that's like-- - Oh my God. - Okay. Christina? - Don't talk dirty to me with your Winston Churchill quote. - Okay, what is it? - He said, I've gotten more out of alcohol than alcohol's gotten out of me. And I always, I live by that. - Are we dating? Are we going out? - What's happening? - It's just so like, and I think it's true. I think every, I have so many amazing stories. Like everything good has come from my life from like being crazy and wild. - Yeah. - And either because I'm on a night out and I meet someone and it leads to something or because I have so many fucking stories to tell that I have made a career out of telling people these stories that happened to me and whatever. And that's, so either way, it's a win. - Did you ever have your belly button pierced? - No. - Okay, I wasn't sure. - I would love that though. - I was thinking that I was like, you give me mixed vibes. I was like, she could or she couldn't and I didn't know if it happened when the highlights happened and I feel like that would have been fine. - I have so many piercings. I have like eight and eight years ago. - Do you really? - I'm trying to let them heal up 'cause it was a little much. 'Cause I went through a phase where every weekend I was like, let's go get one. - Were you sober or not sober? - No, no. - Who knows? - How many tattoos? - No. - But I love them on guys. Everyone of my ex-boyfriends has tattoos. - I mean, my husband is a tattoo. - It's so hot to me. - It's a lot. - It's a turn on for me. - I love it. - I will say before my husband, I was not like drawn to tattoos. I was like very into like the like, prepping, like, you know, you can tell the vibe. - No, no, no, no. - And now tattoos are hot. - It is this way, it is this way, it's this way, it's every, I'm like, why is Bart Simpson on your leg? He's like, I was drawn. I'm like, oh God, let's not show anybody that. - It's so hot. - It is hot. - I love it. - We went on a whole roundabout, but I do wanna go back to like, okay, people are going up to you and they're taking you out to, what's your favorite kind of date? Dinner date, coffee date, fuck coffee date. - I like a drink first. - I like a drink. - Drink, no, let's talk about that. - Well, I don't wanna just sit down and if they suck. Okay, another thing about me is if the date is bad, I'm leaving in 35 minutes. I don't care. - So what do you, okay, so we do? - I'm just like, you know, I think I'm gonna go. - Oh. - I don't care. - Okay, I'm not rude. I'm just like, you know, I'm gonna go. And it's okay to say that. - And they probably feel it too, right? Or maybe know it. - Maybe they don't, because one time I went on a date and I went on this date as burned in my memory. I went to Foucaix, amazing bar, by the way. - Oh, okay, good. Okay, I've stayed there a few times. - Sexiest bar to have a date. He didn't ask me a question and I timed it. He didn't ask me a question about myself till 38 minutes about and I was in, back in my bed and my apartment, I walked there, I walked back. I was in one hour. I went, I did the date and then I was like, I'm out and then I was in my bed in one hour. - Can I tell you something? My biggest fear is not talking about myself for 38 minutes. - I know. I was killed myself. - I was killed myself. - It's insane and it's just like, I think there's this weird epidemic which, me, I talk to my followers about all the time. Then don't ask questions on dates anymore. And I'm like, if you're not asking me a question, if you don't care, then I'm leaving because you don't, you're not interested in me. And I'm, I'm fucking Anderson Cooper over here. I'm like, and what about your child, whatever. So if you can't be bothered to volley the ball back and like, you know, just rattling on about your boring real estate job, like why would I stop there? How did you get set up on that date? - I think that wasn't app, honestly. And you know, the point of my story was, and I would have ranked it like a three out of 10 the next day. Hey, I had a great time. We'd love to see you again. I was like, sweetie, I left after 38 minutes, baby. - I was like, were we on the same? 'Cause it's like, if you, it's so easy to make people feel good about themselves, if you just ask them questions. So it's like kind of a hack. And I was like, well, yeah, obviously you felt good. You got 38 minutes of free therapy, you know? - A hundred percent. I feel that all the time. I feel like that, even with my friends, like no fence friends. But I do, I am the one that's constantly like, you know, it's, it's even like every conversation. I do feel like I have to really protect my peace and energy even now with going out in social settings or events because I end up having to do so much of the talking that I'm like, how much is this gonna deplete me the next day? - And your dinner was incredible because I was sat next to Jamie and we had the best conversation. But at a lot of those dinners, people actually don't know how to have a conversation. - I'm very aware. And I'm very specific about who I invite to those dinners. - People don't know how to, they don't, they can't talk about anything but themselves. - Right. - And I say, even if I low ball and I say, what are you watching on TV? They look at me like I have two heads. - I don't watch TV. - Yeah, or, you know, a lot of these influencers, they just kind of have a conversation. - And then that's an age thing? - I'm not sure, I mean, I'm quite a lot older than like a lot of these influencers. But I'm like, if you're sat next to someone in dinner, the polite thing to do is have a conversation with them. And it can be light, it can be whatever. But if you can't even be bothered to like, keep the conversation going, it's rude. - Well, I think what you're saying now is also, it's just a lack of manners. - Exactly. - And there's a lack of upbringing. My mom was so, and I feel like I know your mom via social media, she just seems like the sweetest lady. She was on top of me about shit. Like being polite, saying thank you, looking people in the eye, having a firm handshake, making sure you're asking them about themselves. Like, this is something that, like, I am very precious about with my kids. Like, I don't want them to be fucking freaks. - No. - I want them to be nice, normal, engaged people. And like, not just the whole night. I mean, I'm obsessed with myself, and I'm obsessed with taking photos and getting the shot 'cause it's a stressful thing for me. But I'm not like all night, like, yeah, no. Like, I'm only here for this. Oh, that's unprofessional. But I'm like, no, exactly. We're engaging in this moment. We are celebrating or spending this evening together. We need to be able to 100%. And what I would also say to people is they think, oh, it's like, you know, to go on the phone past this time, I actually think if you're at a dinner or a brand dinner or whatever it may be and you're on the phone, your phone the whole time, it makes it last longer. Just lock in, talk to the people around you, be present in the moment, and then go home. And if you don't have the social battery to do it, don't do it, don't, don't go then, you know? I think that's really good advice. I'm going to take that advice. It drives me insane and also like to go on to that, it also drives me insane when I'll be at a fashion event like a fashion, I'll never get over being invited to that stuff. I'm still the same way. I still pinch me like still crazy moment and I will see these, some, these influencers and they're like this and they have such a rude look on their face. I'm thinking about one in particular. And I know what. Lock it bitch. Okay. And I know what happened. Their public has made them go whatever, whatever. And they're sitting there. And I want to look at them and go, if you don't want to be here, if you don't respect the work that's walking down the runway, if you don't care about this designer, don't fucking come. Because to devil wears product, there's a million girls who would kill to sit in your chair. And you need a show respect to the people who created this show or this event or whatever. And you need to show respect for your position to be here because it is an honor to be invited to this stuff. And if you don't want to come, don't fucking come. And no one cares. All of you have social anxiety. Stay fucking home there. Stay home. Stay home. We will miss you. Being a great 100% wholeheartedly, and I really do think being like on the front end of that and the back end, and even like inviting people to dinner and the decorum of cancelling, cancelling is fucking rude. Yeah. If you say yes to coming to a dinner, you need to come to that fucking dinner. Agreed. Unless you are ill. Yeah. I love you. And you're great. No, everybody is too like. Cool. And takes themselves too seriously. I think also we've gotten into a really strange place of like everything everybody has become so voyeuristic of other people. Nobody is like as engaged in the human connection as we used to be. I feel like at the beginning of sort of Instagram or just more even pre-2020, like we were maybe it's a COVID thing, but we were way more engaged. Now it's like not to make this about cheesy stories, but like all the people that are on my stories, all the people that are watching me that do not communicate into any capacity. I am constantly responding and trying to like make this more of a human experience. Yeah. Like we have gotten fucking weird. It's weird. It's weird. I'm mindful of my I'm trying to be really more mindful. I'm obsessed with my phone too. I'm addicted. I know that. But I think to your point, it's like if I'm following someone, I'm supporting them. I'm like liking. I'm commenting. I'm writing back. And I'm like, if you don't like me, unfollow me. I really don't care. But it's just strange that the weird social construct, constructs we have now where people feel like, oh, like I have to follow this, but it's like if we don't fuck with each other, then let's not do it. You know, let's not even do this because if I'm following someone, I'm commenting. I'm liking. I'm, you know, gassing you up, reposting. You're doing all the things. All the things. I am very much the same way. I really think that I am. And my least favorite type of follow is the girl that you run into an event that you both know each other through per three and you have mutual friends. You know you're not really going to buy or you know that they're, I want to be very clear. You know that they're probably not going to engage with your story and think they're too cool for you. This has happened to me a few times. Could you imagine people think they're too cool for me? I'm sad. I know. I know. It happens. And I helped her out with some stuff. She followed me two hours later. And I was like, bitch. Why? Because now I have to follow you and guess what? Not one like each direction. I'm actually, that's not true. I have responded to stories. I have liked things. But I'm like, why are you putting me in a position to follow you now? Why? And we don't like each other and not even not like each other, but we're not going to support to your point. I want people on social media that support me. 100%. All day every day. And also it just makes people miserable. And I think, like I think that it's very strange to follow people that you hate and I'm talking more widely now. Like if you hate an influencer and you still follow them, that's odd because why would you want to make yourself? I love it. It's a ghost. It's a ghost. It's a ****. Leave it in. Leave it in. Leave it in. Stop talking. They're going to find him. No, I know. I'm going to tell people eventually. No. I know. I shouldn't. Well, I mean, I feel like-- We need him for eyes. I know. That's insane. I'm going to New York. Am I going to have fun in New York? It's like a girl. You know, my mother-in-law found him. Really? That is how I know him. She had somebody-- I'm going to-- I've met her. She's a hoot. She's met you. She's told me that. She loves him. You did her podcast. She loves you. She's like my fairy godmother. I went to her office and I was like-- Am I in heaven? No, it's-- It's so nice. It's just like cash lipstick and perfect. It's amazing. It's just wild. She's so sweet. I knew somebody, that knew somebody, and he basically-- maybe I told you this-- but it was somebody's mother had passed away. It was three sisters they had a vacation house. In the guest house, the one daughter that was going to have the hardest time, the mom left a letter for her. And she did not know this in the upstairs. They did not live there. It was like on Nan Tuckett. They lived in the city or something. And she met with Bill. And he said, your mom's here. She knows that you guys were the most connected. And you're going to have the hardest time with her passing. And I'm getting something about a letter or something. And you guys have a vacation house or something. And I would really-- and I'm doing this because he does-- I would really go upstairs and open that door. She found a letter from her mom to her. Oh, my God. It was like two years after the death. And that was like the closure she needed. And then I was like, I have to talk to this person. He's so gifted. He's very gifted. And he probably knows we're talking right now. I know. I just want to say-- I hate to schedule him right now. You should email him. I'm going to email him right now with Morgan. It's fine. Be like with Morgan, live so much. I'll get you in any time. This, I think, I agree with everything you've said on this podcast. You should be very proud of yourself. I know you are, but you have done such an amazing job being yourself. You're so well-spoken. You're so intelligent. I'm obsessed with intelligent women. I love people that are smarter than me. No, you are. You're smarter and you're more broadly smart. I'm like a very specific smart. Everyone's like, no, you're not. But I just want to say thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for having me. It was so much fun. Thank you. You'll have to come back in LA. We're better lighting. I know this show is going to be a roaring success because of you. I hope so. Congrats on everything. Thank you. The Morgan Stewart Show is produced by Sirius XM and me, Morgan Stewart.
