Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lauren Sanchez & Jeff Bezos’s Wedding: Decadence and Celebrity Spectacle

[01:02–16:50]

• Wedding Excess:
  Sanchez and Bezos’s Venice wedding is reported to cost upward of $50–70 million, which Link underscores with the refrain, “when you’re worth $200 billion, what’s a couple million?”
• Destination Weddings as “Slap in the Face”
  Link rails against the expectation of guests traveling long distances—except when it’s an event for the ultra-rich and famous.

  “I don’t do destination weddings. I think asking your guests to do a destination wedding is kind of a slap in the face.” [01:25]

• The Kardashian Contingent:
  Kris Jenner and her daughters are humorously described as being paraded to the wedding as if “pawned off to the highest bidder at this fancy, highfalutin wedding.”
  Kim Kardashian’s revealing after-party outfit sparked Link’s outrage:

  “Kim Kardashian, you are not a girl's girl for showing up to a woman's wedding in this outfit… This is abject insanity.” [04:15]

• Celebrity Guest Hypocrisy:
  Oprah Winfrey and Leonardo DiCaprio are called out for climate change double standards, arriving via private jet despite climate activism:

  “…preach and opine to all of us on how to live our lives, but then you’re flying private into this wedding with your 27 year old girlfriend…” [07:35]

• Plastic Surgery Commentary:
  Link describes an environment awash in “silicone and filler” and jokes:

  “It was like a Tupperware convention… If a boat went down in the Venetian canals, at least we had some flotation devices.” [09:50]

  • Oprah’s appearance attributed to Ozempic, and attendees are likened to keeping the “plastic surgery business in check.”
• Classiness Amongst Chaos:
  Link singles out Ivanka Trump as “classy and stunning,” praising her appearance.

2. Michelle Obama’s Polarizing Photoshoot

[16:51–28:00]

• Photo Shoot Critique:
  Michelle Obama’s new Annie Leibovitz photo shoot is skewered visually and for perceived self-absorption. Link brands the shoot “an utter calamity” and questions its inspirational intent.

  “Does this look like the face of oppression? It looks like the face of Ozempic, in my opinion.” [21:12]

• Celebrity vs. Humanitarian:
  Claims Michelle Obama wants to be a Kardashian more than a humanitarian, accusing her of prioritizing fashion, photos, and attention.

  “She wants you to think that she’s this, like, humanitarian… but she actually just wants to be a Kardashian.” [19:20]

• Fashion Roasts:
  Mocking of high-priced “ratty” designer clothes and trends:

  “I think that’s what Michelle Obama did… these Golden Goose shoes that girls buy, and they pay hundreds of dollars for them to look dirty.” [25:20]

• Glam Squad Irony:

  "She might want to get a refund on the glam squad, okay? Because this photo shoot is an utter calamity." [18:15]

3. Meghan Markle’s “As Ever” Brand: Brutal Review & Product Taste Test

[28:01–37:37]

• Hands-On Taste Test:
  Link samples jams/spreads, flower sprinkles, and a $64 “As Ever” candle, providing running commentary on quality and taste.
  • Packaging: “The packaging was cheap… wrapped in this cheap crinkly paper and thrown in a box.” [28:51]
  • Strawberry Spread: Surprisingly decent.
  • Orange Marmalade:

    “Literally the worst thing I’ve ever swallowed. Literally the worst thing I’ve probably ever put in my mouth.” [32:48]

  • Raspberry Spread & Flower Sprinkles: Both slammed as inedible.
  • Candle Catastrophe:

    “There’s literally nothing to light on the candle. This is like Meghan Markle’s career—failure to launch.” [34:45]

    • Candle review morphs into a metaphor for Markle’s celebrity projects.
• Comment on Oprah’s Endorsement:

  "Oprah has put this on her list of her favorite things, which used to be a huge deal...But then again, Oprah’s been eating Gayle for 40 years, so I'm not sure her taste buds are up to snuff." [31:54]

• Final Verdict:
  “All in all, I give the brand 2 out of 10. The candle did have some weight to it. Some of these things are remotely edible, but I don’t think it’s worth your money.” [36:35]

4. Royal Family Drama: Bowing Demands, Reconciliation & Hypocrisy

[37:38–47:00]

• Harry’s “Laundry List” of Demands:
  Security, press control, Meghan being treated as "Her Royal Highness" (with bows and curtsies) are described as over-the-top and delusional.

  “Imagine your real royalty, and you have to bow down to this ex-duchess who traipses around a kitchen doing flower arrangements on Netflix.” [40:43]

• Meghan’s Inconsistencies:
  Noted for once mocking royal curtsies on Netflix, now demanding them.
• Prince William & King Charles:
  Link doubts any real reconciliation or forgiveness, warning, “I don’t negotiate with terrorists,” in reference to “negotiations” with Harry and Meghan.

5. Meghan Markle’s Harper’s Bazaar Cover: A “Cautionary Tale”

[47:52–52:45]

• Critique of the Cover & Career Arc:
  Link describes Meghan’s Bazaar appearance as “a major downgrade” from British royalty to fringe celebrity circles.

  “You went from British royalty, okay, to the Krasians. That is who you are.” [38:32]

• Princess Diana Comparisons:
  Accuses Meghan of trying to “channel” Diana without Diana’s “respect for the monarchy.”
• Humanitarian Claims Challenged:
  Offers that Markle has done little actual philanthropy, more interested in the trappings of fame.
• Marriage Commentary:
  Picks apart Meghan’s quotes on love, noting,

  “Notice how she never says, ‘I love Prince Harry.’ Meghan Markle never says, ‘I’m obsessed with him.’ It’s always, ‘He loves me the most.’” [44:41]

• Final Takeaway:
  Markle’s career is a warning about knowing your place and staying humble; otherwise, “you’ll be hawking dog biscuits and candles that have no wicks.” [48:00]

6. U.S. Political Commentary: Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, and Hillary Clinton

[52:45–end]

• Jasmine Crockett (“Crocodile Crockett’s Corner”):
  • Lampooned for questioning Trump’s IQ while, “She can’t even use proper English.” [48:10]
  • Accused of political irrelevance and called “bottom of the barrel.”
• Kamala Harris (“Kamalamity Harris Is Drunk Again”):
  • Focused on viral videos from her book tour allegedly appearing inebriated:

  “She sounds like Anna Nicole Smith… Anna Nicole Kamala is on stage.” [53:09]

  • Harris’s campaign failings and book tour are lampooned.
  • Suit fitting and overall presentation critiques:

    “Go get suits that fit, that make you look flattering.”

  • Sarcastically encouraged to “please run” again in 2028.
• Hillary Clinton:
  • Briefly appears in a clip, with Link dismissing claims that she and Harris beat Trump in debates.
  • Asserts their unpopularity is about incompetence and poor connection with voters, not gender or race.
