00:00:22.740
everybody knows me on to the amazing guest today we have the one the only the iconic the legendary
00:00:28.280
bobby burke hello everybody i'm so excited to have you thanks for having me it's an honor i'm a big
00:00:36.140
fan same same thing not of me but of you oh okay i was talking about me every since you put that
00:00:42.440
camera in my bathroom i was like we're meant to be that's unrelated to this bobby that is
00:00:47.420
unrelated to this okay what we talk about offline is no one's business anyways i am such a huge fan
00:00:53.520
of you i'm so uh honored to have you on the show how have you been i've been good i've been hot
00:00:58.060
like most of the world are you a sweaty girl i'm always a sweaty girl i can be 20 below zero and
00:01:03.560
i'll be sweating walking down the street with my iced coffee oh my gosh you and me both nobody sweats
00:01:08.200
how come nobody sweats but us in hollywood oh that's a lot of talks just oh yeah okay that's
00:01:14.280
the secret you know that can get rid of sweating yeah i do know that but then also like it'll make
00:01:17.960
you droopy sometimes if you do too much what well i'm also so curious if it's like placebo or if
00:01:24.420
it's for realsies because sometimes i hear people get it but then they say it comes back it does because
00:01:28.720
botox wears off so you have to keep getting yeah yeah my husband's a doctor and does it for people
00:01:32.360
oh yeah so it literally paralyzes your sweat glands and you haven't gotten it that seems like he
00:01:37.660
doesn't love you very much because i just try to not go to places that are hot i feel it yeah but
00:01:42.920
you're just like it's so funny you say that because like i just went to the streamies this past
00:01:47.100
weekend and it's like obviously a thousand degrees everywhere especially in la recently yeah but the
00:01:53.840
carpet was inside and i was like period i'm not gonna sweat for once in my life i won't be sweating
00:01:58.320
on a carpet love that for me and then i go into like the room and it's like 90 degrees like because
00:02:03.540
it's enclosed there's no fans there's no wind and there's thousands of lights and hundreds of people
00:02:09.320
and so i was like nightmare one of my favorite thing about hollywood's is the carpets because
00:02:13.900
the world just sees everybody on the carpet all glamorous and beautiful and all decked up
00:02:17.960
but they don't see like at the emmys emmys always seem to fall on the hottest weekend in la and the
00:02:23.500
red carpet's outside always what you don't see is if the cameras were to pan over you'd see a huge line
00:02:28.880
of every celebrity in the world dripping wet assistance with fans like dabbing their faces
00:02:33.720
terrified and then they go on the carpet and the moment they get off like layers start coming off and
00:02:39.160
it's just disgusting and so unglamorous i'm like an internet dickhead so i don't have that luxury of
00:02:45.080
someone fanning me um it's just kind of me it's just me like with my publicist my post is going
00:02:50.420
like i'll get you a napkin don't worry i'll get you a napkin it's all right we're trying you know
00:02:54.800
when you start sweating and then you realize you're sweating so you start panicking yeah and
00:02:57.880
you start sweating yes and you're like oh my god is it coming through my nine layers of clothes
00:03:02.260
literally and i was like in a sheer dress like it was like completely see-through see i find that
00:03:07.520
this might be one thing that women do have it easier at like on carpets you can wear dresses
00:03:12.580
that's true because there's ventilation you're wearing like pants i guess i mean i i could wear
00:03:16.600
a dress too that's true jonathan's always like i'm wearing a dress it's cooler he's like i'm actually
00:03:21.580
kind of chilly yeah i'm like you're right i should not have worn this three-piece suit stupid me my bad
00:03:27.160
jonathan's like oh it's cold i think the only time i didn't sweat on carpet was i uh covered the oscars
00:03:34.720
this year but that's because it was cold outside yeah and everyone was like oh it's freezing and i
00:03:39.160
was like it feels good to me you know this is one thing that might come out good from the strike
00:03:43.580
other than you know fair practices and business yeah but um the emmys will be in january this year
00:03:48.480
there you go burr so cold burr it's 60 cold no jacket completely nude i'm gonna go sleeveless just
00:03:56.160
like muscle tea paste three pasties three pasties there you go lady all three the same size
00:04:03.520
there you go huge huge in fact small it's all right yeah
00:04:08.880
anyway so my book yeah so your book speaking of pasties uh you are coming out with a book
00:04:19.620
which you can see right here right here and it's called right at home love that tell us about your
00:04:25.040
book so it's all about the intersection of mental health and design you know for years i've wanted
00:04:30.640
to do a design book i've been approached to do a few different ones but design books i love them all
00:04:36.680
they're all great everything has its place everyone's book is wonderful but for me i didn't want to just do
00:04:41.240
like this pretty coffee table book of these great homes that are perfectly edited and staged and gorgeous
00:04:45.160
because sometimes like they can actually make you feel bad about your own space like you're looking at
00:04:49.980
these beautiful spaces that you'll never be able to achieve because most of those spaces are like
00:04:54.740
perfectly styled for that shoe they don't look like that really yeah um and it makes people just
00:04:59.240
kind of feel bad about their space yeah i wanted to write a book that doesn't just teach you how to
00:05:04.440
set your space up it teaches you how to figure out what makes you tick and the things that you need to
00:05:08.480
put in your home based on what makes you happy i love that because to me design is about what makes
00:05:12.700
you happy yeah not about what a magazine tells you your home should look like yeah absolutely even
00:05:17.320
what i tell your home excuse me even though you are at celsius right before
00:05:21.160
even what i tell you what your home should look like even though you are an expert i would say
00:05:26.440
you are an expert at interior design i absolutely love your your style thank you i think that's so
00:05:31.260
great and i think too like that is something that people miss a lot with like the mental health
00:05:35.860
aspect of your space and how it like can play into your productivity your overall wellness and
00:05:41.600
happiness that's a really good point especially small things like for me i just moved recently into
00:05:46.560
like a new home and i didn't realize like how little natural lighting my other home got because
00:05:52.320
there were a lot of windows in my other home but like i was like the one story and there's a bunch
00:05:56.700
of two stories around me so it's blocking a lot of the light and so when i move into my new home there's
00:06:01.200
it's so bright like everywhere every morning you feel nice yeah i know i like feel i'm like why am i
00:06:05.680
like so much happier yeah wake up like snow white every morning exactly it's just my dog but i think
00:06:12.940
the natural lighting plays a huge factor plus like i love to decorate and stuff but it's hard like
00:06:17.960
especially when you're growing up and you move into new spaces you're kind of like learning
00:06:21.500
your new style and like what you like what you don't like like home decor is like a lot more
00:06:27.480
complicated than it seems well one of the grab this here one of the first things we talk about
00:06:33.200
is where to go um it's let the thing is it says let's normalize not asking people what their
00:06:44.580
aesthetic is yeah because like what i learned from the show that i'm on that i can't talk about right
00:06:50.820
now yep um you know i would ask people oh what's your design aesthetic and like i remember our very
00:06:55.400
first episode tom was like oh uh french industrial and i'm like you're like looking around i'm like
00:07:02.040
really i'm like do you know what french industrial is and he's like no i just heard it once i'm like
00:07:07.520
all right that's what i thought so i started learning to ask people what their favorite things
00:07:13.500
are in life you know what's your favorite show like there was another hero it's like what's your
00:07:18.160
favorite show and he's like mad men and i'm like oh cool mid-century yeah i'm like where's your dream
00:07:22.460
vacation he's like cuba i'm like also stuck in the 50s like mid-century you know so i i did all mid-century
00:07:28.500
furniture and i did this cool mural of a picture of havana and i did like uh banana leaf wallpaper in
00:07:33.520
the bathroom and he walked in he was like oh my god every single thing in here just like brightens
00:07:38.020
me up and makes me happy and like it feels like my home even though this i'm walking into this for
00:07:41.660
the first time he's like how did you get inside my head we didn't even talk about design like i talked
00:07:46.540
about the things that make you happy and those are the things you should put in your home because
00:07:51.080
your home is like your phone charger you know if you don't get your phone on that charger at night
00:07:54.940
and it doesn't get fully charged it's gonna die the next day it's not gonna make it through
00:07:58.500
the same with you your home should be fully recharging you and doing that by things that
00:08:03.440
make you happy that when you walk in you smile you know not you walk in and especially like
00:08:08.840
dysfunctional spaces if your home is adding stress it's not getting you fully charged
00:08:13.080
yeah i saw something too i think my mom told me this a while ago because obviously like i work
00:08:17.620
from home primarily so like when i was living in my old house i like worked a lot in my room like i
00:08:22.920
always had like my laptop in my room i always worked on my bed like and my mom told me like
00:08:27.740
it was really hard for me to like sleep and like yeah when especially when i'm stressed and my mom
00:08:32.420
was like well you can't work in your bedroom because like you're supposed to work in a different room
00:08:36.320
it like it separates it mentally so you know like this is for sleep this is for work i think the
00:08:41.880
pandemic forcing so many people to work from home kind of did a number on us because on one hand we're
00:08:46.660
like oh yay we get to work from home this is great such better quality of life yeah yes if you
00:08:53.620
know how to separate it but it got to actually where we were just always working yeah because
00:08:58.820
there was not that separation of space or just like okay i'm just working where when you go to
00:09:02.980
the office like hopefully yeah when you leave the office you're done yeah that's you time yeah there
00:09:09.700
was that lack of separation now that i think if we are going to continue to work from home which is great
00:09:14.160
if not but you need to figure out how to define that space like workspace versus relaxation yeah
00:09:20.360
even if it's just you know a tray that you keep your laptop on that you slide that tray under the
00:09:27.080
bed oh yeah to where that that little moment that was your work you don't see it anymore it's gone
00:09:32.020
and so it kind of prevents you from being like oh it's gonna work a little more yeah let me check
00:09:36.220
that email yeah no no this is home time like distinction yeah i love that so how long have you been
00:09:42.440
in like the world of interior design like like two and a half years when did you like really i was
00:09:47.720
gonna say no way but um in the world of design so before i had a design firm i owned my own furniture
00:09:56.340
stores around the u.s oh cool so i wasn't designing but i was curating you know i was yeah choosing all
00:10:02.520
the things that were sold in my stores i'd help customers design their houses um so since about
00:10:07.940
20 years okay and you're 25 so like yes he believed that since i was five yeah i have been
00:10:16.760
helping america decorate their homes working and what were you doing nothing nothing exactly yeah
00:10:22.400
you were just on the playground oh my god and he was building homes right exactly bob the builder
00:10:27.140
so when did you like kind of fall in love with like curating space or like still waiting design
00:10:34.600
yeah no i'm kidding um i was about five or six no seriously literally literally i just guessed
00:10:42.320
you're right you're right um and this is the story i talk about in the book yeah um my mom had
00:10:48.080
decorated my room with like all red like red curtains red bedspread red rug red pillows and
00:10:53.580
it didn't feel good to me like you're like this is yeah i mean i couldn't articulate that this color
00:11:00.500
gave me anxiety but i was just like this is not for me yeah this is not my journey yeah um so i saved
00:11:07.160
up all my little birthday checks i had gotten for my aunt and uncles and i got i went out and i bought
00:11:11.000
blue bedspread and blue curtains and blue pillows because i understood that blue just it made me feel
00:11:17.420
better like i liked it made me feel more relaxed and again i couldn't articulate these words when i was
00:11:21.720
a little five-year-old farm boy but i just i understood the power of color um and lighting
00:11:29.180
you know at five years old yeah yeah i again i couldn't articulate why i just i knew what i knew
00:11:35.720
the feeling yeah you know yeah you just knew the vibes were off yeah yeah the vibe girl mom the vibes
00:11:41.520
are off in here i have to fix it so at a young age like i i started thinking about those things
00:11:47.020
that's really cool yeah and then probably like around 14 or 15 i went walked into target and you
00:11:53.260
know how they do those amazing collaborations with designers yeah yeah this was their very first
00:11:57.140
collaboration they ever did and it was with the architect named michael graves okay and i don't
00:12:01.380
know if you've like this tea kettle and this toaster and these spatulas like very like modernist
00:12:07.540
designs okay and i remember walking in and seeing like a spoon from the collection yeah and before like
00:12:13.340
spoons were just very utilitarian you know you use it just to shovel food in your mouth
00:12:16.800
um but i looked at the spoon and it made me smile and i was like the design of this is cool like i i
00:12:25.640
want the spoon because i want to like have something in my kitchen that i also like love to look at not
00:12:30.940
just something that's functional and it was that moment that i really started to realize that there
00:12:35.860
were people out there that were not only building things to make the world function better but building
00:12:41.300
things to make you happy yeah you know and that kind of i think set me on the track of thinking
00:12:46.540
about design and what i wanted to do okay so you said 14 or 15 is like basically that's when you
00:12:52.760
like kind of made the the choice you were like i think this is like where i want to go i wouldn't
00:12:57.440
say i made a choice then because i mean i left home at 15 um there was no like choice of career
00:13:03.820
yeah it was just like i need to eat and pay rent um but it was something that was at that time where i
00:13:09.340
started thinking like design is something that i love oh and it wasn't until years later i fell into
00:13:15.540
it i mean i think it's so interesting because i'm like learning so much while you're talking i'm like
00:13:19.180
oh that's so true i'm like guys someone get him a book or something you should write a book
00:13:24.560
i think too i only recently have i been like getting into like interior design but probably because i have
00:13:30.680
like a bigger home so i have to like you know decorate it and so and it's expensive furniture is
00:13:36.600
expensive and decor is expensive but it's really nice when you like head to goodwill head to the
00:13:41.560
flea markets you know a lot of times people are like oh i don't want to get you stuff why you stuff
00:13:44.840
is great yeah you know use decor is great because with decor like people get bored with decor yeah so
00:13:50.540
they they donate it you can get some of the most amazing things for so cheap and it's less stuff
00:13:56.780
that's going to end up in a landfill yeah like offer up or a facebook marketplace or great places to
00:14:01.420
source even like my friend caleb when he was on the show he was saying like he sets his zip code to
00:14:07.640
like expensive neighborhoods and then goes there and buys from also i mean i used to what i was
00:14:12.580
really hard up for stuff i would go to the expensive neighborhoods on trash day i would look online and
00:14:17.180
i would figure out what day is trash day and you would find the best furniture on no literally i'm all
00:14:21.280
about reusing reduce reuse recycle you know what i mean especially when you're young too and you don't
00:14:25.900
have that much money but you want to like customize your own space and like decorate it to how you like it
00:14:31.320
great resources for that years ago my friends and i used to do decor swap parties it was an idea i
00:14:37.960
came up with but again you get bored with stuff in your house and instead of going out and buying new
00:14:42.500
because i definitely didn't have the money to back then my friends and i would you had to bring two
00:14:46.100
items with you and something that you were bored with in your house and we'd all bring the items and
00:14:50.400
we'd like swap like oh i like that picture that you brought i'm gonna get that and we'd be able to
00:14:54.740
judge up our place without spending a dime and we'd be drunk at the end of it that's so cute decor swap
00:15:00.960
party that's so cute and so gay yeah that's very gay so gay i love that i'm all about that that's
00:15:09.140
so fucking that's a genius idea actually because people don't realize how much like even especially
00:15:13.520
when you move you realize like how much shit you like hold on to yeah you're like oh my god i don't
00:15:18.680
even i didn't even remember i had this even when you swap out furniture and stuff you're like now i
00:15:23.220
have these like tables and chairs it was always sad for the people though that went back with the
00:15:26.580
exact things that they brought they're like your things are really fucking ugly love you forever
00:15:30.720
though maybe maybe step your game up next time bring better things bring the things you actually
00:15:37.060
want get better taste next time how about that they get kicked off the fucking island they don't get
00:15:42.960
invited to like you haven't done a decor swap party in a while i'm like yeah no i haven't in months
00:15:49.100
oh that's so crazy that's so funny when i first moved in with my uh boyfriend like when i moved
00:15:57.440
into his room he had like just one big bed like and then one lamp and that's it my husband just had
00:16:03.980
a mattress on the floor no furniture no furniture nothing it didn't have a headboard it just was
00:16:07.940
like on like one of those risers oh see that was far more than my husband had it was literally just a
00:16:12.260
mattress on the floor i don't even and it was in the corner like pushed into the corner and so when i
00:16:16.940
moved in i was like i really want to first of all hate it burn it let's start over but i want to like
00:16:22.080
put the bed in the middle and he was like why and i go because i'm in my 20s and i don't want to roll
00:16:27.580
off a bed when in the morning because that's my side of the bed is the one where i have to scoot to
00:16:31.580
the end and get off to crawl over and yeah at night no like if you're in a relationship you're an
00:16:37.080
asshole if you shove your bed up against the wall that's what i'm saying unless like space wise it's
00:16:40.920
absolutely necessary yeah but i was like i'm not a teenage boy so i want you to put it in the middle so i
00:16:46.120
can also get off the bed like a yeah like an adult yeah yeah and i was he's i told him i wanted to get
00:16:51.520
end tables and like a dresser and he was like what are end tables for and i'm like to put your things
00:16:57.800
on and he was like like what the fun things yeah he was like like what and i'm like like your phone
00:17:04.020
where do you put it when you charge it and he was like on the ground and i was like well see that
00:17:07.680
stops today he sounds like a winner he is a winner you're like i fixed him now don't worry yeah don't
00:17:12.800
worry same with my god i i workshopped it out it's out now the key to it is is to find them
00:17:18.080
really rough like that and you can shine them into what you want them to there you go yeah i'm all
00:17:22.000
my husband thinks he has style and opinions now but they were all just mine me literally me taking
00:17:28.380
credit everyone's like oh my god he's so stylish and cute i'm like yeah you're welcome literally me
00:17:33.480
20 years it took me like thank you so much i love you baby yeah i take that it's such a huge call
00:17:39.200
my baby so much that's what well the great thing too is when they're like open to it like they're
00:17:43.880
super open to like yeah i'm cool with that let's try it it's funny i think within the first six
00:17:48.700
months to a year i strategically got rid of every article of clothing my husband owned before he met me
00:17:53.880
just slowing they were just all so bad like what like oversized like cargo pants and oversized flannels
00:18:00.460
and like horrible just like oh i just don't know what happened to that i don't know how that fell
00:18:07.020
out the window i haven't seen it i mean i would replace it with cute things yeah yeah i kind of did
00:18:13.120
that too a little bit i was like at some point i was like how do we feel about throwing those in the
00:18:17.880
garbage see you were nicer than me i would just be like how do you feel about the fact that i threw
00:18:25.140
those in the garbage i know there was one article of clothing i can't remember what it was but i was
00:18:31.300
so like okay let's go ahead and throw this in the trash and then i eventually was like please don't
00:18:36.200
wear those please don't wear those please don't wear those i love you so much please don't wear
00:18:39.320
those there's a couple things that he's bought on his own well he's a big fan of like scissors like
00:18:44.380
he's like oh i'll just cut them and i'm like or or or we don't do that like how about that like or
00:18:51.560
we do something else because you're not a seamstress i'm not kidding like three days ago
00:18:55.960
we were going to the streamies we were buying an outfit he's like he has like a new like style he
00:19:01.060
wants to try which we love and so he like gets he buys these nice pants he gets them tailored i'm
00:19:06.560
like oh perfect and then he gets this shirt and he's like i really like this shirt but i really hate
00:19:10.600
the sleeves i'm like okay he's like it's fine i'll just cut them off huh huh no no in fact actually
00:19:17.940
no we won't be doing that i was like no no no funny thing is though were we talking about the
00:19:25.100
yeah the red carpet was like were we talking about the sweatiness on air yeah a few years ago on a
00:19:29.140
carpet i did wear a sleeveless white button-down shirt i had the designer cut the sleeves off because
00:19:35.640
i'm like at least i'll have one less layer of fabric to sweat because i will die yeah yeah so i was
00:19:42.480
wearing like a total white trash like sleeveless button-down i love that i just like you're not
00:19:47.880
cutting it yourself but like you're wrong he's like i'm really good with scissors are you like
00:19:53.300
as as are most people because if you just do this they cut i wouldn't say it's a skill necessarily
00:19:58.820
i don't know i think cutting a straight line is a skill that some people don't have and it was like
00:20:03.140
that um that like crochet and i'm like babe you think you can cut that and it's gonna look nice
00:20:07.700
it'll be all woven it'll be like unraveled by the end of the night yep yep it went from sleeveless to
00:20:12.780
just not there anymore it's just just people's off strings hanging out at the top of his pants
00:20:17.400
wait really speaking of sweating i went to a premiere recently and it was you know two billion
00:20:23.200
degrees and because i'm an internet dickhead they make me walk at 12 p.m peaks an hour love that
00:20:27.800
and then i wore a wig and i was like you know i'm gonna get my yetis and i'm gonna leave like i'm
00:20:33.520
gonna go into the air it'll be fine and i went and like my wig like i was sweating so bad
00:20:38.440
my wig was like sliding and like i have a widow's peak so it was hanging out and i was like girl
00:20:44.560
and i remember like i this is also the premiere i fell twice at which is horrible and then the second
00:20:49.180
time i fell i like stood up because i'm dripping sweat and my sister was with me and she was like
00:20:54.700

00:21:04.020
hot it's so hot under there i sweat that bitch off so fast it's because like my hair is so thick
00:21:09.420
too so like if it's under a wig and i start sweating it poofs and then it it lifts the wig up
00:21:15.340
and then it starts slowly going back and i kept like dragging it to the front like all night i was
00:21:21.580

okay so let's get to the topic for today talking about all right let's actually get to the interview
00:25:37.980
speaking of speaking of sweating just kidding we're not talking about sweating what we're talking about
00:25:42.400
today our topic is called setting a vibe right basically how curating a space can be an act of
00:25:48.420
self-care which goes perfectly with your book which i'm super excited about so we're gonna reference
00:25:54.560
some tiktoks that are in the right vein about design interior design whatever you're
00:26:00.720
not aesthetics necessarily just what you love it's funny you should say aesthetic because i
00:26:04.960
actually posted a thread today about the gen z's incorrect use of the word aesthetic it drives me
00:26:11.660
insane like oh my god that's so aesthetic no that's not how the words used it's oh my god i love your
00:26:17.740
aesthetic yeah yeah i see what you're saying or that aesthetic is really cool yeah oh that's so
00:26:22.380
aesthetic but my gen z social manager now just like taunts me with it and she'll put it in in you know
00:26:29.860
when something good happens descriptions that i supposedly wrote but she's writing it and she'll
00:26:34.980
just like forward it to me and wink and i'm like she's like love that so aesthetic yeah now i'm gonna
00:26:39.440
make i'm gonna make that the title of this episode watch me it's so that's so aesthetic that's what the
00:26:44.080
title's gonna be okay so so for those of you who are new to the comment section what we do is we bring
00:26:49.940
videos that i was tagged in that are applicable to our topic today and then we laugh kiki make
00:26:54.860
comments whatever is necessary so for this first video um it's kind of like a skit video and it's
00:27:02.600
just a guy he goes over to the house of a girl he likes and he gets turned off because she has like
00:27:07.400
things like artificial like ivy leaves like led lights on the wall of her bedroom as decor oh
00:27:14.600
definitely with him in the whole video is making fun of girls with this decor and says you have to
00:27:19.620
be careful of girls like that which like that part fuck you but also yeah i feel like that's very
00:27:25.800
young like i feel like that's very gen z the leaves and the led lights i feel like that's their their
00:27:31.420
thing right now i i don't know if i've ever been in a gen zers bedroom so i don't know i would hope not
00:27:37.040
yeah me either wait a minute what age does gen z start yeah i think it's well it's younger than me
00:27:43.920
i'm a millennial me too and are you i'm just kidding i'm just kidding i'm just kidding
00:27:49.620
if i had a mic on i would rip it off right now and i would throw it down i am the second year thank you
00:28:00.340
i'm sorry your face i'm totally kidding i told you he's 25 that's definitely millennial
00:28:09.580
who is you are oh yes yeah it's 25 millennial i think 25 is gen z no no no because i'm well
00:28:16.820
actually wait no i think 25 is the cutoff yeah yeah and i'm gonna be 28 80 is the cutoff for
00:28:23.420
millennial some calendars say 81 but i still make it you're like regardless of who you ask i might be
00:28:31.260
considered a geriatric millennial but i am still a millennial i believe you hey i believe you i'll
00:28:39.480
take your word for it but i also google you just to fact check i am a journalist okay so yeah i mean
00:28:46.800
i feel like because on tiktok i saw like the ivy leaf thing and the led lights they're very like young
00:28:51.500
i'm not a big fan of decorating with led lights i don't like lights that change color i feel you
00:28:56.700
not my thing not my thing i think if you're a teenager it's fine i think if you're older than
00:29:03.240
that it's not no no you don't think no the only place multicolor lights belong is a christmas tree
00:29:12.840
and even that i don't love me too but i'll be i'll accept it that's so funny i don't like colorful
00:29:18.380
lights on a tree either no yeah i like gold or white and like multicolor lights in a pool no
00:29:22.820
hey no even in a pool no he said no like i have an airbnb and sometimes i'll see from the camera
00:29:31.000
somebody switched it to the multi-light i'm like no i'll switch it remotely i'm like you are ruining
00:29:36.040
you are ruining the mood i have created in this space absolutely not like yeah no you're right
00:29:41.040
blue lighting does not go with this you're right in the guest book do not change like we'd love to
00:29:45.640
welcome judy back if she doesn't change our pool light color again fucking judy you respond to their
00:29:51.900
review and say i would give five stars but yeah but you use multicolor lights and damn even in the
00:29:58.160
pool what don't you like about it it's just like it just throws off vibes yeah i think like everything
00:30:03.540
is thoughtfully designed the way it should be and then when you throw in like strobing blue light
00:30:10.100
that's not desert vibes that's not desert getaway that's not desert that's not giving getaway at all
00:30:16.260
that's crazy there was something i i forget what it was i think oh something i hate like if i'm
00:30:23.200
thinking decor like i i really don't like like leather couches but it depends on the kind of
00:30:29.280
leather and like how it's shaped you don't like the leather couches because of the way they feel
00:30:33.320
both yeah like in the summer they're sticky yeah winter they're cold yeah i'm not a huge fan of that
00:30:40.320
and i just feel like i'm peeling my skin off of it you know you end up like maybe putting a throw on
00:30:45.060
it then so you don't stick to it but then you just slide off of it yeah i'm not i'm not a fan either
00:30:49.980
yeah i don't leather armchairs it's like an accent yeah but like a leather sofa yeah i agree yeah i think
00:30:57.640
and also those um couches that are like it's like a big l but they're all it's kind of tall and they're
00:31:04.300
like recliners oh yeah but it's like just the end recliner yeah yeah you don't like recliners either
00:31:10.540
it depends on them because some of them they they're cute now i feel like some of them now yes
00:31:16.740
but if it's a sofa i think they're called convertible sofas with it yeah so like a futon
00:31:22.260
no with the recliners and everything i don't know why okay um but yeah if your sofa and i'm sorry out
00:31:28.460
there if you do i know sometimes people just want comfy places and that's fine if that's who you are
00:31:32.680
um but i am not down with recliners built into the sofa i feel you yeah i don't like the the look
00:31:39.940
i think they're just too tall so i feel like i'm sitting up like too upright well that's why it
00:31:44.460
reclines so you can not sit up right you've ruined your whole theory i feel like when i'm in a recliner
00:31:54.940
i'm just sitting too upright well we're fine hey you got me back for that age comma you got me back
00:32:02.740
one one yeah you got me there that is true but i also think too i want to be able to like
00:32:10.480
just a little bit like move it back just a tiny because what if you don't want to lay all the way
00:32:14.560
down you know i'm saying most like you can adjust where you lay back but i i'm not all of a sudden
00:32:22.660
huh i mean i did grow up in a household of recliners i did my my parents bought some at one
00:32:29.020
point too but they all broke and i think it's just because like you open them too hard and close them
00:32:33.520
too hard knock that plant off i don't like how you have to close them there's just no dignity in it
00:32:39.040
you know you're like laying down and you sit up and then you're like you like have to like do it all in
00:32:43.100
one motion and then your calves back in the day yeah now they're just like yeah see i didn't have
00:32:47.700
those i had the ones you had to like you had to like really momentum like swing up you know what
00:32:52.300
i'm saying there's just no dignity in it it's just embarrassing when you're like trying to close
00:32:55.580
and talk at the same thing you're like yeah you know no dignity in that i wouldn't agree with that
00:32:59.940
at all but i think this kind of aesthetic this like led light and the way you said that was correct
00:33:08.640
well but you are a millennial so yeah you use that word correctly i'm sure as are you
00:33:15.020
okay so the comments on this video this one says leaves on the wall means you gotta leave her
00:33:23.720
okay huh it's not very punny is it no he tried he tried he tried and he failed
00:33:30.560
is there one about word art word art my sister's house like love you shauna um is just everything
00:33:40.320
in the house is word art and i make fun of her so bad and it's like a house not a home or a home
00:33:45.960
not a house kind of thing like those those and like a lot of scriptures oh yeah yeah as for me in my
00:33:52.440

00:36:11.960
celebrity edition okay the questions was about tom brady and the team he played for
00:36:17.460
and we were both like the patriots no or the buccaneers tom brady and we're like wait is that
00:36:23.080
jazelle's husband and jimmy kibble jimmy kibble was like you two are the only people that would
00:36:28.780
describe tom brady as jazelle's husband as you should honestly yes as you fucking should like i said
00:36:33.900
what i said ex-husband in fact well this was years ago yeah yeah that's so funny jazelle's

00:36:54.740
cut shirts in the past okay this one says or the rug on the ceiling above the bed i think they're
00:37:00.380
talking about a tapestry a rug he called it a rug above the bed he's talking about a tapestry but
00:37:06.840
you know they're fucking stupid so they don't know the word tapestry probably can't even spell it
00:37:11.640
that's a bummer you think they know that's not a rug that's crazy they think that's a rug or maybe
00:37:16.020
there's maybe they're thinking of macrame their brains aren't nearly big enough to conceptualize
00:37:21.760
macrame is there a question in here for me it's mostly just like what are your thoughts on that
00:37:28.160
comment um do better i can't believe you see that and you're like i didn't know there were ceiling
00:37:33.980
rugs i knew there weren't but i was like i know i'm saying this man when i was little we went to
00:37:40.060
look at this house and they had covered all the walls with like short shag carpet interesting the
00:37:48.900
same carpet that was on the floor too okay we walked in and like 30 seconds later we walked
00:37:53.560
out my mom was like no no no and now i now i look back at it and it's like those episodes of like
00:37:58.320
house hunters where the person's like the walls are blue though so i don't think this is the house
00:38:03.260
for me i'm like you can paint the walls bitch yeah that's true you can paint the walls my mom was
00:38:07.700
like no carpet i'm like you could take it off even in my in my new house that i moved into um the layout
00:38:13.840
is is a little different like than houses i've seen before but the walls like were like honestly
00:38:21.160
insane colors like it has a huge entryway with lots of like little pillars or columns kind of thing and
00:38:27.040
that whole thing was mint oh and then like a really minty green and then like a sane asylum green
00:38:33.880
yeah yeah a little bit yeah yeah or like a florida vacation home green you know what i mean like
00:38:40.580
yeah okay there you go one in the same and like there's like a formal living room a dining room and
00:38:45.620
those two rooms each had one dark gray wall like one dark gray wall then in the living room there was
00:38:53.460
like one dark gray wall and then the bedrooms like two of them were a mustard yellow and the other two
00:39:00.900
were like dark blue like super dark blue and so i was like wow that's so fucking ugly like the
00:39:07.980
colors are so ugly hate that hate that so much and so when i got approved for the house i was like
00:39:13.020
painting it immediately paint immediately painting your rooms different colors and like just doing
00:39:17.880
one accent wall especially like one accent wall very dark color when everything else is a light color
00:39:23.440
it makes your space feel smaller yeah absolutely it up visually all you're seeing is these little
00:39:28.100
slices instead of one big yeah absolutely so like accent walls are fine if it's a lighter color
00:39:34.280
yeah because it's not so harsh and drastic but yeah i'm not a fan and even like the owner like the
00:39:40.220
previous owner he had like met my boyfriend and i and he was talking to us and he was like
00:39:45.920
yeah like i built this house like from scratch and blah blah we were like oh cool and he was like
00:39:52.000
yeah i was an architect i'm an architect and i'm like by trade or like hobby you're like a
00:39:57.280
successful one just for like fun or and i i like genuinely i don't know if he like understands color
00:40:04.520
schemes or if he was just like throwing everything at the wall and seeing what what stuff you know
00:40:08.140
what some architects are architectures some architectures some architects understand like
00:40:13.500
structure and lines but not design yeah like not decor i've worked with some architects that
00:40:19.580
will like do a stab at what the interiors will look like when they render a space they've
00:40:23.980
designed yeah and i'm just like how are you in the design business like wow hate that so much but
00:40:30.740
the structure is really cool but you leave the design to us don't ruin your cool space by putting
00:40:36.660
that stuff in there well he told us he like could not sell it like he said like nobody would buy it
00:40:41.980
and i was like well yeah because it was fugly but it's okay because i fixed it like i saw the vision
00:40:47.940
i saw the vision once i i just painted all of it white like a really nice bright white uh and the
00:40:54.040
painter i hired was really great too because he was like oh like in windows where light comes in you
00:40:58.200
want like a shinier white like you wanted to have something on it that like reflects light and then
00:41:03.340
or maybe it's the opposite forget but like he was like in darker rooms you want ones that don't reflect
00:41:08.440
as much or something like that it was like there's like a whole science to it i forget so they did
00:41:13.920
multiple walls in different sheen no it's all yeah it's all white but it's just like certain parts
00:41:18.580
of the wall like some in eggshells some in mats it would yeah it was like a mat or a not mat kind
00:41:23.160
of thing he'd like used it interesting i've never yeah i've never heard that before can't tell the
00:41:27.800
difference if i'm being honest when he was telling me he could have been speaking mandarin and i
00:41:30.740
wouldn't have known like i was like he's like i only charge you 20 extra and you're like great i can't
00:41:34.820
tell the difference i was literally like honestly like sounds good sounds great to me and then when he
00:41:39.560
did it it looks great it looks wonderful and he he did a lot of extra shit too because he was like
00:41:44.780
he was like in shock of what the house looked like too and i was like he's like i'm gonna take all this
00:41:48.900
down i'm gonna repaint this like don't worry about it but i just like hate what it looks like i was
00:41:52.680
like same i'm with you honestly i was like love that for us just let me know when it's done
00:41:58.080
so i think paint plays a huge factor too absolutely and i love a nice a white but not too
00:42:05.760
white like not like asylum white uh people are always asking you know what's the quickest and
00:42:10.380
easiest and cheapest way i can transfer my space and i'm like it's it's paint yeah that's true and
00:42:15.500
renter friendly too do you have like a lot of questions about renter friendly design like
00:42:20.980
small spaces renter friendly and like there's articles on my site bobbyberg.com like the perfect
00:42:25.140
white like i share with you my favorite white paint colors because whites can be hard people are
00:42:30.040
like oh white's basic it's not hard actually no some whites have like pink undertones some have
00:42:33.940
like greens i'm at blue and like yeah it's really depending on how the light hits it is depending
00:42:38.340
on what color it's going to look like so yeah whites actually are one of the harder colors to
00:42:41.860
choose that's true even the painter i hired he was like did you buy multiple whites yet and i was like
00:42:46.620
no and he's like buy at least four or five and paint the wall and then let it dry and then decide
00:42:52.740
which one you want yep and make sure you see it in the daytime and it and yeah he told us the same
00:42:56.980
thing he was like every time i i tell them to do that like if someone hires me and wants to do white
00:43:01.180
they're like oh i don't care um and they're like he's like i'm not painting this room until you look
00:43:05.340
at it because then you're gonna tell me you hate it because some of them look they dry more like a
00:43:09.760
cream yep as opposed to a bright white so science women in stem uh oh also too like i want to share
00:43:19.440
this with you but like over the pandemic uh you know like everyone was in their home design phase they
00:43:24.880
were like oh i'm gonna finish project i'm gonna start a new one and like my dad's like brilliant idea
00:43:29.720
was to like redo the living room and he's like oh let's like get a new couch like for my mom on
00:43:34.480
mother's day because she had been saying like she wants to redo the space and like that's like my
00:43:38.620
childhood home like we've lived in there for a very long time and so my dad was like oh like let's
00:43:44.360
just do like an accent wall like that seems easy and we're like yeah but the the walls are so oddly
00:43:50.140
shaped and they have really high vaulted ceilings and so it's like literally me my sister my brother
00:43:56.280
my dad and my boyfriend like just we don't know what the fuck we're doing like we're just painting
00:44:01.040
and i was like let's do like a green and my dad's like okay and he picked like this dark green and so
00:44:06.200
we like painted the whole thing and we were like surprise she's like she was like wow i love it i love
00:44:15.520
this we did it like years ago and i know my mom wants my mom fucking hates it she wants to change
00:44:21.400
it so bad but we were i'm not kidding we watched like the show we can't talk about and we were like
00:44:26.980
my sister and i were like we saw them do a green and it looked so good like maybe we should try it
00:44:31.220
and it was not the same green literally at all it was way too fucking dark and so when you said it
00:44:36.320
makes the space feel smaller you're right yeah it does yeah it does make this big glorious high
00:44:40.580
vaulted room that now feels like a cave let's say they're like on a budget and they really want to
00:44:45.680
like maximize a space like a one bedroom apartment or something like where would you say they should
00:44:50.120
focus like their energies um i would say if you're on a budget you've got to do it a little by little i
00:44:55.740
would say focus your industries and your industries focus your industries focus your energies on the
00:45:00.840
items that are going to make the space function first oh okay because like oh i found this beautiful
00:45:05.600
piece of art i love i'm gonna spend some money on that well bitch you don't have a sofa
00:45:08.760
where will you sit yeah so focus on the things that will make the space first functional okay and
00:45:15.840
then when you can worry about decor wise making it pretty in the way you like it do that but first
00:45:20.700
like get the stuff that will make the home actually work for you oh okay that reminds me if you're
00:45:25.900
because you brought up a couch what are your thoughts on the cloud couch from resto yeah the like very
00:45:30.800
popular cloud couch um i think that anything for restoration hardware is extremely overpriced and
00:45:36.560
marked up for absolutely no reason period um and there's a lot of great other retailers
00:45:41.540
manufacturers out there that don't rip you off sorry you shouldn't have fired me
00:45:47.880
i'm all about that honestly in two they're always like i know i always see the white ones i don't know
00:45:54.980
if they come in other colors probably but i always see the white ones and i'm like i would destroy that
00:46:00.180
couch like i'm so bad with stains and spills like there's no way that house that that would
00:46:06.740
look disgusting in my house i can't get away we call our cloud couch the trash couch the stained
00:46:12.000
couch really is not a cloud that's why i'm like i see the white stuff and i'm like i don't know how
00:46:16.580
you do that and have pets like we have a i have a dog our house isn't like our sofa isn't white white
00:46:22.020
but it's like creamish off-white same yeah we have a pet but the key is like buy a sofa that has
00:46:27.080
removable cushion covers yeah you know to where you can't take it off and wash it don't buy a sofa
00:46:32.160
that the cushion like like this like this chair the cushion is part of the chair yeah you can't
00:46:38.140
wash it yeah literally i put my old couch in like my formal dining or my formal living room and those
00:46:45.340
ones have like removal it's kind of like a dupe of that cloud couch but it's a different brand and you
00:46:50.780
could take off the the covers and wash them and that worked out because my dog took a big old dump on it
00:46:56.580
like right when we moved in the new house why i don't fucking know it's never pooped on my couch
00:47:00.900
never like he i literally like we were walking past the living room and my boyfriend was like it
00:47:05.800
fucking smells bad over here like do you smell that i'm like no look a big giant dump he just left it on
00:47:11.400
that couch i'm like good thing i can remove those and wash the covers what did you do to him well we
00:47:16.880
just were like did you do that and he just like what did you do to him to make him act out like that oh
00:47:20.580
what did i i moved him into a big beautiful home apparently oh my god he was traumatized by the colors
00:47:25.520
before he's like get rid of this couch it's ugly it's not ugly but it is one of those couches that's
00:47:31.820
kind of low to the ground so it's hard to get out of yeah so yeah unless you're sitting really upright
00:47:37.840
and you're uncomfortable well that's what a formal living room is for
00:47:41.820
sitting upright being uncomfortable that's what i'm saying but yeah i guess that's his thoughts on my couch
00:47:47.540
he hates it what would you say is like a trend that you're really glad isn't a thing as much
00:47:54.820
anymore shiplap is that like that the wood the wood that's kind of like layered like yeah and
00:48:00.460
the kind of like slats uh-huh you see a lot of it from well i won't apparently i've talked too much
00:48:06.620
shit about this designer and i shouldn't do it anymore um about shiplap yeah shiplap makes you
00:48:12.300
i mean most fans at home will know exactly who i'm talking about when i say shiplap yeah damn i didn't
00:48:16.440
know you were talking that much shit on shiplap it's just i'm just over it just yeah i feel you
00:48:21.560
it's like led lights yeah no but those are new that's a new wave thing though and you're like
00:48:28.040
kill it immediately now yeah unless they're white yeah just like a one single color okay white you
00:48:34.640
really hate those multi-colored lights huh just nothing good comes from that nothing that's the devil's
00:48:40.360
word that's what you know yeah that's what you know the devil's real yeah because led lights exist
00:48:46.200
yeah do you remember the glam core aesthetic that was really big in like the 2010s
00:48:51.240
mirrored everything everything silver not for me me either yeah i've never been a glam girl me either
00:48:59.400
i feel like my taste is kind of like very neutral like i really like neutrals and like i don't like
00:49:05.100
a lot of color in my home especially not colored led lights hence the reason why led lights yeah i did
00:49:12.000
have those i will admit that too i didn't have a lot of them though but not with ivy right
00:49:16.440
no i never had the ivy i'm too old for that apparently i had no idea that was a thing until
00:49:20.860
i became a tiktoker like i had no idea that was a thing but i do remember like my boyfriend got some
00:49:26.900
of them i think just initially to put on the back of the tv which seems like such a teenage boy thing to
00:49:32.120
do were they synced with the tv though and they kind of changed based on what you were watching because
00:49:36.160
that i'm fine with they can yeah yeah yeah i'm down with that ours didn't but it was so funny
00:49:41.440
because when i first got them i thought they were for the wall so i like tried putting them up and
00:49:44.680
we didn't he didn't get enough of them so it's literally just one one wall that's it like half
00:49:49.620
a wall and that's it and if you like made them red or something it makes the whole room red yeah
00:49:54.140
which is kind of ominous yeah it's a little like funny like the bulbs that we the smart bulbs that
00:49:59.380
we have in our house they actually do change color oh yeah i was gonna ask how you felt about
00:50:03.320
those yeah you can i i mean i don't use them i only have them set for a nice warm white but the
00:50:08.920
other day we have a friend staying and she was like hey google turned to something and i i don't
00:50:14.480
know what she said but it just started turning everything in that like there's like i'm sorry
00:50:18.680
i can't turn the fridge off and this and that it's like and then all the lights started flashing
00:50:22.980
and changing colors and i'm like what is going on get google stop i have a google too yeah i love
00:50:29.600
google but i hate that you have to say girl oh i don't even want to say the name because our
00:50:33.840
listeners at home it'll start going off in their house i do hate that i always have to say okay
00:50:38.800
google or you have to greet it in order for it to listen i guess you could say google but you can
00:50:44.400
just say google now i think they eliminated having to say okay having to greet her yeah yeah sometimes
00:50:51.440
she listens to me oh she's always listening yeah like sometimes i'll like tell her to stop and i'll be
00:50:56.320
like google stop and then she doesn't stop so then i have to say it again and i'm like
00:51:00.080
uh i'm like girl stop you're pissing me off and then she's like i'm sorry i'm sorry that's not nice
00:51:06.240
yeah or i'll call her a name and she tells me that's not nice yeah so you're okay with smart
00:51:11.040
homes technology oh absolutely yeah okay cool i love that my sister my brother-in-law wants to get like
00:51:16.120
can't ring cameras and stuff and my sister's like no like people can watch us and i'm like who the
00:51:21.680
fuck wants to watch you like who who is like oh let me hack into these cameras in this like farmhouse
00:51:28.440
in the middle of nowhere that's it's probably going to be exciting i think all the time i'm like i'm
00:51:34.480
not living a life nearly interesting enough to watch yeah i mean i don't have cameras in my well i do
00:51:39.280
have one doggy camera in my house but like yeah i don't have cameras in my house because that i'm like
00:51:43.760
yeah somebody could hack that and we are kind of in the public eye yeah somebody might want to yeah um
00:51:48.480
but same i don't have them in the house i do have them all around my house though those are
00:51:52.440
really nice to have yeah as your team behind the camera pointed out which is why my watch
00:51:56.260
magically disappeared you kept seeing all of my ring notifications yeah our literally our cameraman
00:52:02.200
was watching he was reading all of your notifications he was like there's an animal in your front yard
00:52:06.880
i looked at a house once um to rent and i remember it was a beautiful home but like they had you know
00:52:16.220
the beauty of ring is that you can take it with you like when you leave you like uninstall and take
00:52:20.720
on like 80t or whatever and all his ring cameras were still there and they were all pointing in
00:52:25.980
and i remember asking like are you guys gonna take those like when you like if i were to get this house
00:52:31.580
and then they were like oh no the owner left those for you and i'm like they're all facing in it's like
00:52:36.780
and we could see in the windows yeah like they were facing inside you know typically if they're on the
00:52:40.880
outside of the house they'll point out it felt like they were pointing in towards like the doors so you
00:52:45.300
could like more so see inside and see in the backyard as opposed to watching the out you know
00:52:50.360
what i'm saying like oh my god that's so nice but yeah i just don't think i need those yeah i was like
00:52:55.260
well no like if i were to get this house i like would for sure need you to take those and she was
00:52:59.680
like well that's like a non-negotiable for the owner and i'm like weird yeah weird vibes yeah and the
00:53:05.020
backyard big beautiful backyard but the whole wall along the side like the back of it was all clear
00:53:10.480
like all see-through it was literally just plain glass and then there's like other houses over
00:53:15.780
there and i'm like so then you can see in the backyard that's strange landlord can watch me on
00:53:20.860
camera that's why i'm like he's trying to watch me that's weird she's like oh yeah they could like
00:53:24.720
he could give you a login and then like no no way no no way girl next thing i know they're like
00:53:30.600
pointing in the bathroom like mine and yours yeah that's fine but that was consensual
00:53:37.080
just to wrap up on that note what would you say is like your best piece of advice for people
00:53:52.900
trying to curate a space that really caters not only to like their design preference like what they
00:53:58.220
love to see like what they think is beautiful but also like that really helps the mental and really
00:54:02.900
helps like you know settle you or give you peace whatever it may be to me the first thing design
00:54:09.120
like function is the mother of design so make sure your space functions for you because if your space
00:54:13.300
is dysfunctional you're going to be dysfunctional in your mind yeah so i always say like the first
00:54:17.680
thing you should think about my biggest piece of advice is to make sure the space is functional
00:54:21.760
because that's what's going to be best for your mental health i love that what's your sign
00:54:25.840
very good i knew it i knew i'm never wrong the way that you were describing everything i was like
00:54:32.460
this bitch is a virgo early virgo or late virgo i'm a mid virgo so i'm august 25th virgo
00:54:37.640
yeah when's your birthday that's actually my anniversary so let's look at us great things
00:54:42.500
happen on the 25th of august on september 18th period look at us i knew you were especially you
00:54:49.980
prioritizing functionality over that that's me too i'm very like i needed to work and function as in
00:54:56.780
like a working space but also a sane person would but apparently and we're big fans and neutrals
00:55:01.500
hate multi-colored things organization and look at us we're both we're both mentally ill
00:55:07.600
runs a lot in virgos apparently my husband tells me that whatever that means we just found out
00:55:16.840
recently that if he had been born one day before he'd be a virgo i know that sounds crazy to have
00:55:21.380
just found out recently but we just found out recently that his mom lied about his birthday his whole
00:55:25.120
life oh shit so he yeah we thought he was a gemini his whole life but now he's a libra one day before
00:55:30.080
he would have been a virgo i'm with a libra too i pull off my face and it's your face underneath
