So I was talking to my friend about the college that her child wants to go to.

0:18.6

And I'm really close to my daughter. And I have one child, which I think

0:22.8

does make it different because it would be like playing favorites if you had four. But I have one child

0:27.9

and she's so connected to these babies. And the pandemic, we were our quarantine. The babies are

0:33.2

the babies, the furry babies. And she's not going to college somewhere that's not close to me.

0:38.9

So, like, judge me, don't judge me. I really don't care. But if, like, she goes to college

0:44.3

somewhere, I'm accessible. For a number of reasons I'm not going to get into because they're

0:48.9

personal, but, like, I'm not going to be far. So we are deciding where we're going to college. Now, the good news is

0:56.1

where she wants to go, I love, and I already am. Like, to be totally honest, her grades are

1:05.2

amazing. She's very diligent. She's very disciplined. And the truth is she's smart, but like, I didn't know she was this smart. Like, she's smarter than I am. And she retains information, has the patience more than I do. And she has amazing grades. And she can get into probably an Ivy League school. And I know you have to apply to, like, 10. But, like, she wants to go to University of Miami. Like, period, the end end. I live in Florida and you know what? Go with God. Like it's a great school. It's not only that, meaning I'm not one of these people that it's like, oh, if you can get into Harvard or Stanford, like you have to go. I'm into, where do you want to be to be happy? Like, she likes to be near the beach.

1:45.0

She likes to be near the beach. She likes to be near the babies. Now, if she wanted to go to Stanford and got in, I'd get a place in California. If she wanted to go to Pepperdine, we're not going to school. It's not near beach. So I love you guys so much and don't change. But sorry, not sorry. I'm part of this decision. You can hate me. I don't want to go somewhere

2:01.5

it's 110 degrees and I don't want to go somewhere

2:01.5

it's 110 degrees and I don't want to go somewhere. It's 25 degrees. I want her to go somewhere. Do you like I'm saying, I don't want to go? I would like her to go somewhere where I would like to spend time or be near so she has access to me if she needs me. But the point, the bigger point I'm making is I'm not one who cares that

2:18.9

deeply about where someone went to school. It's kind of like a flex. And like when I do meet men,

2:22.5

I'm like, oh, he went to Stanford. He went to Princeton. He went to, you know, and then there's the

2:27.3

dope schools that some people go to. And I do judge it a little bit, but happiness is paramount to me,

2:33.8

not the flex. So when they make an Ivy League

2:37.2

school on the ocean, we'll be applying there. So I'm going to have to build a school.

2:43.0

So I've been thinking a lot about people talking about how they don't drink and they're so much

2:47.0

healthier and they look better, et cetera. But I've also been thinking about the balance

2:51.6

of healthy and happy. Like if I'm going out and I want to have a drink and I'm not over

2:56.9

serving myself, I'm not pounding drinks and blacking out and I'm drinking water and there's some
