That's the goal I achieve. So today's pop culture Thursday. It's gonna be a Brooklyn Beckham heavy episode. I'm just letting you know, if you're not familiar with the Brooklyn Beckham story, it has actually been hovering around this show for now, I would say close to six months. I'm gonna go to the Independent. I don't know what the Independent is, but it gave Brooklyn Beckham's bombshell statement in full as he hits out at quote, controlling parents. So let's get the background. In a statement shared in his Instagram story, he claimed his parents have been controlling narratives in the press. So let me just give some commentary. When you say Brooklyn Beckham son of, son of two celebrities that I'll just call his bank. So let's, let's be real here. I'm going to be real. I'm not saying nobody's being real, but we'll be real here. On the J Train podcast, Brooklyn Beckham is claiming that his parents who operate as his Chase account are controlling his only investors are, are controlling him. You know, if you think of this in a company CEO way. Yeah, okay. How would parents be if you have a kid who not a lawyer, not a teacher, not anything, but Brooklyn Beckham guy who in my world Listen, if he was, I think he has, he has cooking aspirations. He likes food in the, you know, it's like when your friend says they're a foodie, you go, well, okay, yeah, we all like food. Hard to tell whether you like food or know more about food than the next person. Do you have a qualification? So listen, you, you'd say, Jared, you're really going against, you're really going against, you know, Brooklyn here. And I, I would say, no, I'm not going against. I'm not taking aside, I'm just giving you facts. If it was Brooklyn Beckham, the attorney who has issues with his parents, who won't stay out of his life, it would be different to me. Yeah. So let's get the background. Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, the son of Sir David Beckham and Victoria Beckham. Again, two people successful on their own. You could give feedback saying Victoria Beckham comes from wealth, as was highlighted in the viral clip from their, you know, their self produced, you know, series. So let's. Again, a lot of this story is going to take nuance and context that most people don't have the ability to use. The 26 year old Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, the son of Sir David. So like again, to go back to the, the self produced nature of their reality show or whatever, the show, the docu series that Beckham and Victoria Beckham had, they made that they had creative control. So we know. So to give point Brooklyn, you go, oh, that does kind of show us a little bit that they like control. Right. Has said he does not want to reconcile with his family. The 26 year old has spoken out for the first time and acknowledged the feud between him and his family in a post on Instagram. In a statement shared in his Instagram story, he claimed his parents have been controlling narratives in the press about his family and tried to ruin his relationship with his wife Nicole. Nicola Peltz Beckham. Now, okay, is Peltz Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham, are they now, are they sharing a last name? Nicola, who is the daughter of American billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz. Okay, okay, new, new variable. We have to acknowledge the bank of Beckham. Brooklyn Beckham has found a new funder, has found a new investor, billionaire parent to his wife. So we have a Shakespearean power play going on here. This is Romeo and Juliet. This is the Montagues and the Capulets. The son has taken on the last name of his wife. So listen, you want to say Jared, whoa, the patriarchy. I I that I will accept that criticism. It's just not what normally happens. This is not. He has taken on the last name of the wife who isn't some. Some school teacher who is daughter of her own investors. Billionaire. What is the. The billionaire? Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Hefner Peltz. He is the eldest son of the former England player and fashion designer. That is not what I would call her. I mean, it's Sporty Spice to me. Brooklyn Beckham, or Brooklyn, has previously dabbled in photography and cooking. Right. See, there it is. There it is. Son with parent investors is mad at the investors for having an opinion on his life. Now has found new wife with her own investors that have way more billionaire. They were not introduced as billionaire mom and dad Beckham, you know, husband and wife, soccer player and fashion designer. They've done well. I'm not saying they're poor. I'm saying they're not a billionaire. Brooklyn has previously dabbled, I mean, dabbled in photography and cooking and have released a book of snapshots called what I see in 2017. He couldn't even write the book. He took a. It's a picture book he made in a hot sauce brand called Cloud 23. That's the funniest paragraph that has so much information that I have ever read. Like, no one is talking about this. I'm not. I'm not. Maybe they are. I mean, they are talking about this. It's written in the independence, the first paragraph. But you cannot talk about Brooklyn. Beckham has an issue with his parents until you break down what I just read to you. Eldest son of former England player and fashion designer wife, Brooklyn is guy who dabbled in photography and cooking, having released a book of snapshots called what I see in 2017 and a hot sauce brand called Cloud. Cloud 23. Okay, Nepo, rich kid who has started a few things is mad at his parents who funded all of those things for being controlling. Not to repeat myself, has now married and now has the gusto to call them out because his wife is daughter of billionaire. He went and got his own armada to have out his issues with his parents that he could never have out before because they controlled the money. Now they don't. Now he can speak up. It's not so brave. I'm not sitting. And this is the problem. People will say, well, my mom is. You know, people are going to take this to other places. They're going to go, well, I have issues with my mother in law. Well, your mother in law wasn't funding your. Your husband his whole life, probably. And your father is not a billionaire who's saying I'll fund you instead. Power, ego, it's all here. This is Shakespeare. That's why there's literally and I told you in the beginning, this is going to be a Brooklyn Beckham heavy episode. We have talked about this in the past, but every article on page six is about this. The couple known as Posh and Bex are also parents to sons Cruz, Romeo and Cruz and Romeo, daughter Harper. Okay, so here's the statement. It's a long statement to read in full, but I mean, it is juicy. People are going crazy. It is. Okay, let's read the whole thing. Okay, ready? I have been silent for years and made every effort to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go on the press. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed. I do not want to reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled. I'm he's not being controlled commentary because he's found a new investor. That's my opinion. I'm standing up for myself for the first time in my life. Oh, kind of the timing kind of works out where your wife is a billionaire. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. That is true. They have a docu series that they are the producers of. They have full editing control. The performative social media, post family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of my life. I was born into. Recently, I've been. Recently I've seen with my own eyes the length that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people to preserve their own facade. But I believe the truth always comes out. My parents have been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship since before my wedding. And it hasn't stopped. My mom canceled making Nicola's dress in the 11th hour, despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress. Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife and our future children. Yeah, well, it would have affected his ability to make money off of his name. Which only is worth something because they are both prominent figures who famous people. But. So that's a. That's one that lives in the gray that he can make sound pretty bad. But, I mean, they might say, well, we needed him to sign for these opportunities. I don't know. That is one that I'm, you know, that sounds worse than it. That I need more explanation as I need Jared freed from his. His living room needs more explanation. Okay. They were. But he is right. It does affect his future and his wife's future. They have to come to that decision together if they're going to get married. So I'll give. That's fair. That's fair of him to bring up. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding day because the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since. Those are gray details. During the wedding planning, my mom went as far to call me evil because Nicola and I chose to include my nanny, Sandra and Nicholas Nani at our table because they both didn't have their husbands. So I guess I don't know what a nanny and a nanny is. Some of this is a little bit English for me. Like, it's. He's. He's using the royal language. Both of our parents had their own tables equally adjacent to ours. The night before our wedding, members of my family told me that Nicola was not blood and not family. Since the moment I started standing up for myself with my family, I've received endless attacks from my parents, both privately and publicly, that were sent to the press on their orders. Even my brothers were sent to attack me on social media before they ultimately blocked me out of nowhere. Last summer, my mom hijacked my first dance with my wife, which had been planned weeks in advance, to a romantic love song. In front of our 500 guest wedding, Marc Anthony called me to the stage. I mean, this is the reason that every story is about. This is. I mean, this is where it gets like. I mean, watch someone read this. Watch. I'm just gonna say, watch your wife read this and just watch her foam at the mouth in front of our 500 wedding guests. In front of our 500 wedding guests. I'm foaming at the mouth. Mark Anthony, the famous musician, called me to the stage wherein the schedule was planned to be my romantic dance with my wife. But instead, my mom was. Was waiting to dance with me. Instead, she danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. Okay, where is Mark Anthony's statement? You gotta go to Mark Anthony. That's the first stop. If you're a good reporter, Mark, give us a statement. If it's no comment, I. He's going to no comment you. I just got to see his face. I just got to have a moment with Mark Anthony. I've never felt more. She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. That is for the son to say about his mom. He either has to mean it. It has. It either. Let's play this out. It either has to be true, which is weird and disgusting, or he has weaponized the media to get that, like so. And again, those are two extremes. The answer usually somewhere in the middle. Where's Marc Anthony? I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life. We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment. My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family. No matter how hard we've tried to come together as one, you know, we don't know. Here's the thing. Victoria Beckham. Beckham. Beckham. As revealed in that docu series that she produced in that viral video where he says, know your parents drove a Rolls Royce. She comes from wealth. Wealthy daughters of are not generally easy to deal with or understanding or have been told no. So you have a situation where wealthy daughter of a rich, you know, daughter of rich parent now facing off with new, younger, beautiful daughter of new rich parent. That's kind of the power play here. The way it's being fed to me right now that I don't like the daughter who is probably a lot like Victoria Beckham. And that's kind of generally the people we push away. There's only room for one hen in this coop. My mom has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives. Okay. My wife has been consistently disrespected by my family. No matter how hard we've tried to come together as one. My mom has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were clearly intended to make us both feel uncomfortable. Despite this, we still traveled to London for my dad's birthday and were rejected for a week as we wait in our hotel room trying to plan quality time with him. He refused all our attempts unless it was as at his big birthday party with a hundred guests and cameras at every corner. When he finally agreed to see me, it was under the condition that Nicola wasn't invited. It was a slap in the face. Later, when my family traveled to la, they refused to see me at all. My family values, public promotion and endorsements. Above all else, Brand Beckham comes first. All of this is easy to believe and might be true. Family love is decided Family love is decided by how much you post on social media or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo op, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations. We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party, every press activity to show our perfect family. But the one time my wife asked for my mom's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mom refused. I, Brooklyn Beckham has brought out the heavy artillery. My mom danced on me weirdly at our wedding. My mom is into me weirdly overbearing mom who hates dogs affected by the LA fires. He has made her like Persona non grata. He has literally taken a a grenade and pulled the pin. But the one time my wife asked for mom's support to save displaced dogs during the LA fires, my mom refused. The narrative that my wife controls me is completely backwards. I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. Well, we that it's not that backwards. He's replaced one controlling investor with a new investor. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. Oh, him. That. That's him trying to connect with the regulars. We all have anxiety. For the first time in my life since stepping away from family, that anxiety has disappeared. I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. All we want is peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family. Sir David and Lady Beckham have been contacted for comments. So that is the full. That is the full statement by Brooklyn Beckham. We can take it in. We'll think about it. Let's take a moment.

Very Brooklyn Beckham heavy. I gotta say after reading that statement, it is very much son of rich parents who and again, I'm sure the parents don't understand it because they go let's look at through the. Let's look at through the villain's eyes. Let's take a moment to look at through the villain's eyes. Us as parents make our money via using our brand, the Beckham brand to make money. That's how we make money. That is how you have gotten your livelihood. That is why you can dabble in cooking as your career. That's why you can talk to a billionaire's daughter and find some common ground and marry up economically. We have invested in you and set you up for future success in private jets. That is their view. So when we ask you to be at our event, that helps our name, which is the reason you have money in your pocket. You should say yes to whatever we ask you to do. That is probably their perspective. That would be my opinion of their perspective, which on the Internet probably not going to find a lot of people defending you. And Brooklyn knows that and says let's also toss in she's an overbearing mother in law and she hates dogs. That's Brooklyn's play. Let's the Internet hates rich people and doesn't really care for and loves a victim. The Internet hates rich people, loves a victim. So Brooklyn Beckham, 26. That's kind of the age of being aware of how to be an alpha victim. I'll use my victimhood to get ahead. That's what he's doing. That's me being not kind or sympathetic to Brooklyn if I'm kind to him. Yeah, I want to be an adult. I don't want the life that I was born into used against me forever. How do I get out of this? Sure, I took the the allowance you gave me my whole life because I was a kid. That's what you do. So I didn't know I was taking blood money to have to show up for your sponsored posts every single time you call me. So Victoria and David Beckham returned to social media after sun Brooklyn's brutal attack. So let's see what they did. Ain't no stopping them. Victoria and David Beckham returned to social media just days after their eldest son's scathing statement in which he broke his silence on the F family's feud. The couple, who have been married since 1999, each took to Instagram on Wednesday to celebrate their friends birthdays. Again. This is one of those where if I'm a PR person, I go, hey, yeah, Brooklyn kind of called you out on that. Like they're, they're ready for any photo shoot v Brooklyn. This is what he said. Victoria, 51, shared several throwback snaps with Emily Button, aka Baby Spice, to celebrate the latter's 50th birthday. So she's sharing her and Baby Spice in one snap. Posh Spice carried Baby Spice on her back. Captioning the photo Happy birthday. I love you so much. And there they are. And again, nostalgia. She's trying to, you know, Victoria, if you're her, you go, no, I'll put up some cutesy posts from the past. I'll play the nostalgia card. All my fans will love me no matter what. She also shared a video of her homer of her former Spice Girls bandmates singing the year 1996 hit say youy'll Be There, which she captured. Happy Birthday, baby kisses xxx she also promoted her son's Victoria also promoted her son Cruz's sold out show in the Courtyard Theater in London on March 27. She posts that Cruz Beckham's shows sold out. Which as I'm not trying to defend anyone or take a side, but if you're looking at Brooklyn's statement where I've been controlled by my family, this is what he's opting out of. This is exactly. Cruz has taken the money so that he could have a band so that he can sell out the show and keep his family. And Brooklyn's basically going, all right, I'm going to say I'm done. I've done this. I tried with my cooking career. I'm going to be the person who started a hot sauce company, which will probably fail because I'll lose my funding from my parents, but I'll take my name that I got from them and try and use that for whatever it's worth. But, you know, because for, for, you know, Posh Spice, for Victoria to post she the sold out show and then she puts, wow, wow, how big's the room? If you're son of the Beckhams in London, the Courtyard Theater in London. I think you can do 500 no matter what the music sounds like. Her husband, on the other hand, was celebrating two of his former Manchester United teammates, Nikki Butt and Phil Neville. The former soccer player, 50, shared several throwback photos of his days in the team. Celebrating the birthday boys. David and Victoria seemingly chose to take the High Road two days after their 26 year old son, Brooklyn shared a scathing Instagram post against them. Well, included in Brooklyn's Instagram post was these guys are shills for social media. And I would say the, you know, I would say David Beckham posting Instagram stories saying happy birthday for his old teammates would kind of prove Brooklyn's points. I don't know a lot of men who are doing multiple story posts for their buddies on their birthday. No one does that. No one who isn't looking to fashion a brand or market themselves. I don't know if you're acting like a 21 year old woman on social media, there might be some ulterior motives here. I just don't know a lot of men in their 50s posting Happy Birthday stories for other men. That is one of those things that people go, oh yeah, I do that. Well, you do that because you're paying back a friend who came to your, you know, rehearsal dinner and did. Was a bachelorette, was in your bachelorette party. You're doing your happy birthday post as a payback because this woman was in your bridal shower and she's still dating and hasn't gotten married yet. So you haven't gotten her pay her back by being in her wedding party. So yeah, it is weird. David Beckham comes back to social media to wish happy birthday to other men on his stories. That's weird. Let's go to another story. I mean, it gets. Now we go into. Now this is interesting because Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz own the only footage of Victoria dancing inappropriately at the wedding. Well, this is the smoking gun. This is where if I'm. Because it is understandable that they'd have the only footage. When you make the accusation that my mom danced inappropriately on me at my wedding, you have to now back it up with footage. Or we just believe that your mom unzipped your pants and started whacking you off in the middle of the dance floor, which is kind of what you're insinuating when you say she was inappropriate. Because if it's debatable, if it's a mother showing love for a son in a way that is in the gray, then You've lost your argument. Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz own the only footage of a wedding reception video that alleged that allegedly shows Victoria Beckham dancing inappropriately with her son. Two sources confirmed the existence of the video to Page Six on Tuesday following Brooklyn's explosive social media statement in which he accuses parents of alienating his wife and controlling the narrative surrounding their feud. The footage from April 2022 nuptials contains footage of Victoria dancing inappropriately with Brooklyn at his wedding. Our source says the couple does not plan to release the video per multiple reports you got. If I'm Victoria, I'm suing my son. I'm saying either release the video or we're going to court. This is defamation. The rules in London especially are way more serious with defamation. Stuff, stuff. According to tmz, the moment lasted several minutes and left guests unsure how to react. Insiders told the outlet that Victoria was allegedly right up against Brooklyn and showcasing her and showcasing behavior that was more fitting for romantic partners than a mother and a son. These are quite horrific accusations. The moment left Brooklyn feeling humiliated and he reportedly never wants to be the public to see it. The outlet sources said the ultra private event included a cell phone ban and non disclosure agreement. So this is where you get into the the world of like Brooklyn kind of owns the narrative. An exception was allegedly made for the fashion designer who said to have been allowed to keep her phone while other guests had theirs confiscated. Sources told the outlet that the footage is now only accessible to the bride and groom and that a contract required the videography company to sign their own NDA and wipe all copies. So to me, if you're Brooklyn Beckham and you hurl this accusation, you have literally taken that grenade and pulled the pin. A source told Page Six on Tuesday that Mark Anthony, who performed at the celebration, was meant to introduce the couple as they took a special was meant to. A source told Page Six on Tuesday that Mark Anthony, who performed at the celebration, was meant to introduce the couple as they took a specially built stage for their first dance. It was meant to be a big, romantic first dance, a wedding insider told us. It was predetermined specifically for Nicola and Brooklyn. But instead of Peltz taking the stage, Brooklyn's fashion designer mom allegedly got up on stage and wrapped her arms around Brooklyn and nuzzled into his neck. See, that's not enough for me. That is not enough. She was dancing with him very inappropriately, the guest told us. We don't know who the guest was. They might be Team Brooklyn. She took that moment from Nicola, that's the God's truth. That is true. If she got on this stage instead of Nicola when it was supposed to be Nicola's time, she took the moment. That's different than, hey, his mom looked like she was trying to fuck him. They added that the bride ran out crying. The Beckham side of the room was cheering and the Peltz side was quiet. They said Nicola's friends were saying, you have to go back down. Her face was swollen. Peltz was sad the entire evening following the event, which guests called heartbreaking. Yeah, this is heartbreaking. Other sources, however, said there was no hijack moment and that there was nothing inappropriate about the family's dance. I mean, when you have one side of the wedding cheering and the other side quiet, we have two sides of the debate already formed. The source claimed Nicola and Brooklyn had already danced together, as well as Nicola dancing with her father, and that David, Victoria and Harper joined Brooklyn on stage. It was a family dance, basically, they said. The couple's lavish Florida wedding sparked rumors of a family feud after the alleged incident, culminating in Brooklyn's scathing social media statement on Monday. In the in it the photographer we've seen this story. See, this is all in the world of he says, she says. I mean, they also go into the now inside the powerful Peltz family. Meet the Brooklyn Beckham's billionaire in laws. We don't need to meet them. We. We just know here's where the real crazies come out. Celebs pick sides in Beckham family feud, Bethany Frankel, Lily Allen and more. I gotta say, if you are a celebrity who's coming out and picking a side based on one side's Instagram story posts saying that their parents who paid all their bills were being controlling. You are the craziest person in the room. To me, it makes every other opinion you have emotionally fraudulent. Bethany Frankel. What is she gonna say? Brooklyn Beckham's feud with his famous family just took a dramatic turn with the photographer lashing out his family in a lengthy social media rant on January 19 and stars taking notice and a headline making bombshell statement. Brooklyn 26 blamed the family rift which he claimed began before they tied the knot in Florida in 2022. So let's see what people what the what these celebrity crazies say. So now, while some express sympathy for Brooklyn and his model wife, others have accused the chef of a ban Chef. They describe him with 7, 000 different jobs of abandoning his family loyalties and fumbling priorities. Others have simply encouraged all parties involved to mend the fences and reconcile. The only opinion is, wow, this is a tough one and you can like unpack it, but you can't take a side. Team David and Victoria Bethany Frankel so Bethany Frankel has taken the team of wouldn't you Right? Bethany Frankel of course she's going to take the side of rich parents who have funded their son. Real Housewives of New York alum Bethany Frankel she calls her kid Nepo baby. She has literally Bethany Frankel literally calls her kid the Nepo baby. What side do you think she's on? The I paid for your college so you'll do what I say Side or the kid who wants to pave his own way without his parents getting involved with his new wife whose parents are billionaires. Let's see. Real Housewives of New York alum Bethy Frankel questioned the wisdom in airing such personal information on social media upload shared hours after Brooklyn scathing screed. He adores his wife, the Bravo star said of Brooklyn via Instagram on January 20, noting that the family drama is not unique. The reality star sympathized with Brooklyn's need to get his side of the story out, but pointed out that his statement had further inflamed an already explosive situation. Now it's become everyone's business, frankel said. Yeah, we know if you don't have a ton of experience with the media, you don't realize that what you're saying, that just saying your piece and thinking it's going to land, it might not land. And there's usually no upside in taking bait, though sometimes it's really tempting. While Frankel acknowledged that the public feud provokes the questions of whether blood is thicker than water, she also wondered if the juice was worth the squeeze. Oh, everyone's bringing out their cliches. Frankel expressed sympathy for everyone involved, but ultimately concluded that to try and make things clean and nice is better than complete discord. Justin Anderson Peltz's former hairstylist what side is he gonna take? Peltz's former hairstylist side with Victoria and David and scathing so this hairstylist really must hate her. On a Best of Bravo Post On January 19, Brooklyn's wife was one of the worst celebs I've ever worked on. Worked with it's her, he wrote. Ah, this is guy.

When I saw Nicola and Brooklyn were getting married, I'm like, oh gosh, this is not going to be good for that family. Spooky energy. I don't feel even bad saying that. He added, when someone is not nice, it always comes out. You can't hide that. Wow. And then they have a bunch of unknown celebrities. You know, comedian Katherine Ryan. What does she have to say? Comedian Katherine Ryan, meanwhile, didn't miss words during a January 20 appearance on her Telling Everybody Everything podcast. I am on David and Victoria's side, she said. As a parent and as someone who has been shitty young person, I think Brooklyn him needs to grow up a little. Wow. She noted that Brooklyn comes from an absolute dynasty family, which in itself comes with many privileges. Well, I. That is, that's the thing he found a new dynasty to. To back him up. Well, this story is wonderful. It is juicy. We have been following this in the jcu, the J J Train cinematic universe for a long time. I mean, we dedicated a whole episode to this. We'll do. I don't know if we should do any other stories. I. I'll do a couple others just because. Why not? Kristen Cavallari talks Dating Kristen Cavallari regrets this wake up call dating moment as a single mom was it when you've dated the Montana boys in some sort of weird play for social media, you know, glamour. Kristen Cavallari was once caught discussing adult topics by friends of her high school age sons, and it made her rethink what she's willing to discuss on her podcast. They told me recently that like a year ago or something when I was dating that younger guy that their friends said that they saw he and I played a drinking game or something on the podcast and they saw some of the sexual stuff that we were talking about. Cavalier said of sons Camden, 13, and Jackson, 11. I mean, you're dating. This is the problem Tom Brady had with the Alex Earl thing. I think the minute your kids become aware of someone you're tr, you're dating, it becomes less fun. The minute your kids are like, wait a minute, I follow them on social media, you're seen with, you know, Alex Earl, you're seen with the Montana boys. I see them on my TikTok. Then you go, oh, I guess this might affect the kiddos. That's. This is. I mean. And now she's talking about her own podcast which has its own, you know, his own marketing department at Page Six for some reason. We'll do one more just because I'm in. I'm always interested in the Moxie Hotel. The Moxie Hotel has been very kind to me when I come to New York and they've helped me give me some deals and the Moxie in Chelsea, if you're going to stay at a hotel like I fully recommend, I mean they've given me deals whenever I come to New York to tape the podcast. It's a great hotel to like get you by. I'm not, it's not nothing fancy. It's for a hotel where you need a place to put your stuff and put your head when you sleep and then get out of there. It's also a more social place. They encourage socializing. The bar is busy. I just met some guy that like he's part of the marketing team at Doordash who was in the bar. He recognized me. He's like, yeah, I was part of the team that brought you into this DoorDash campaign. I was like, thank you. And then I. He came to the sell. So like these things happen at the Moxie. So if you're a single person, I think it's a great hotel for you to stay at because it kind of like keeps people out of the rooms. Turkish business mogul Baron Souzer levels up Moxie. Miami Wynwood In a bold expansion in the US hospitality scene, Istanbul Suzer Group, helmed by Vice chairman Brian Souzer has acquired a 52% controlling stake in the Moxie Miami Wynwood Hotel for 99 million. The eight story, 120 room boutique property located at 255 North Northwest 25th street features dining, nightlife concepts. Operated in partnership with leading hospitality brands. The rooftop space has been leased to CC Social Clubs which opened during Art Basel and hosted several high profile cultural events. Brooklyn Chop House also operates on site who's the owner of the Ritz Carlton Istanbul and the Kent Bay in Croatia is bringing a high end hospitality network. Well, I will say as a Moxy fan, one just well one because they've been very kind to me but also in the sense that I think it's a good idea for a stay. I would like to see what their prices are in Miami. Cause Miami's a tough place to stay. So if you're looking for the party and the scene of Miami, you're looking for a place to put your head, the Moxie's probably a good choice. But I don't know what this guy brings to the table other than making a more high end is which is not really what I'm there for. So we'll continue to monitor the story. This is a J Train. J Train podcast. Pop Culture Thursday. Back next week, boom.
