  everyone. Happy Monday.
• 0:50
  OK I'm really excited because we are embarking on a full mini
• 0:55
  scroll takeover by bumble for the next month.
• 0:58
  You guys know how much these longer form partnerships mean to
• 1:01
  me because it means that I can keep the business going and I
• 1:04
  can get some sleep and I don't have to stress all the time
• 1:07
  about keeping the lights on and growing and how the is going to
• 1:10
  get paid and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:12
  So I'm so grateful that we are going to have every single ad
• 1:16
  read for the next month taken because we have Britta, we have
• 1:19
  Bumble, we have Blackbird, like things are happening and it just
• 1:23
  makes me feel so good. We are ending this year in a
• 1:25
  good place. So I'm really excited for this.
• 1:28
  All right, before we get into it, Please remember to rate,
• 1:30
  review and subscribe. Please Spotify star rate US.
• 1:33
  We're trying to get to 1000 Spotify star ratings by the end
• 1:36

• 1:38
  You guys are pulling through. Oh, we did have a comment asking
• 1:41

• 1:43
  There's always just a link in the description.
• 1:45
  So if you just go to the description, you can click on

• 1:50
  All right, let's get into the stories for today.
• 1:53
  So the first rate that I have for you guys of course is that
• 1:57
  Selena Gomez and Benny Blanc are married.
• 2:00
  Selena Gomez and Betty Blanco got married over the weekend.
• 2:03
  Their wedding took place on a private estate around the Santa
• 2:06
  Barbara, CA area. Both bride and groom wore Ralph
• 2:09
  Lauren. Selena wore a custom silk halter
• 2:13
  neck gown and there were a lot of like floral details on her
• 2:16
  gown and on her veil. And then she seemingly changed
• 2:19
  into a second dress, which apparently was also Ralph
• 2:22
  Lauren, which looked pretty similar to her wedding dress,
• 2:24
  but instead of silk, it was like more Lacy and see through and
• 2:28
  like, sexy, you know, probably for reception.
• 2:30
  There were reportedly 170 guests at the wedding, including Taylor
• 2:33
  Swift, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Paul Rudd, Paris Hilton,
• 2:38
  Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park, Like a * studded.
• 2:42
  And on his Instagram, Benny Blanco said he married a quote.
• 2:45
  Real life Disney Princess. So cute.
• 2:49
  So the two have been together for as far as we know, around 2
• 2:52
  years. They confirm their relationship
• 2:54
  in December 2023 and then they got engaged about a year later
• 2:58
  in December 2024. We don't really know many other
• 3:01
  details yet, but I'm so excited to see all the official photos
• 3:05
  if they share anymore. They have shared a couple on
• 3:07
  their Instagram. But I'm really happy for her.
• 3:09
  I feel like Selena really needed this moment and and I mean of
• 3:13
  course there were people commenting apparently like all
• 3:15
  over Justin Biebers Instagram on the weekend being like you lost
• 3:19
  her. You officially lost her.
• 3:20
  Guys. Justin has been married to
• 3:23
  Hailey Bieber for literally years.
• 3:24
  They have a child together. Like, we need to let it go.
• 3:27
  Hopefully, this actually, like, ends the Jelena stand.
• 3:31
  And like, hopefully they can kind of just like, let this go
• 3:34
  now because it's been so long. They've been broken up for so
• 3:37
  long. And both of them now are married
• 3:39
  to completely other people. OK, The next story that I have
• 3:42
  for you guys, this is some more relationship news.
• 3:44
  Brooks Schofield had her engagement party this weekend.
• 3:47
  It seemed to be at like, an LA restaurant.
• 3:49
  And fans noticed that her bestie and collaborator Tana Mojo was
• 3:55
  noticeably absent from the event.
• 3:57
  So Brooke is engaged to Napo baby Miles Canton.
• 4:00
  Miles McFly, I think is his like, stage name or his, I
• 4:04
  don't, I don't know, can you call this stage name if he
• 4:07
  doesn't actually do like, acting or singing or anything?
• 4:10
  I don't know. That's like his public name is
• 4:12
  like Miles McFly, but his real name is Miles Canton.
• 4:14
  The two got engaged in late June after around a year of dating.
• 4:18
  And I mean, I don't need to go into detail about why their
• 4:21
  relationship is controversial because I've covered it many
• 4:24
  times in the past on this podcast.
• 4:25
  But in short, fans are not super supportive of their relationship
• 4:29
  because there are allegations across the Internet that Miles
• 4:32
  was in a relationship with a minor when he was in his like
• 4:35
  late mid to late 20s. Brooke has addressed these
• 4:39
  allegations. She's called them basically just
• 4:41
  like Reddit rumors and she denies them.
• 4:43
  So the two had their engagement party on the weekend.
• 4:46
  And like I said, fans noticed that Tana wasn't there.
• 4:48
  Instead, it seemed like Tana was in Hawaii with her friend
• 4:51
  Ashley. And you know, she's in Hawaii
• 4:54
  because she just bought a house there.
• 4:55
  Her boyfriend Makoa is from Hawaii, so she's been spending a
• 4:58
  lot of time there. And Tana actually addressed why
• 5:00
  she wasn't there. So it is confirmed she wasn't
• 5:03
  there and she addressed why she wasn't in a comment on a video
• 5:07
  by spillfesh. She wrote construction on my
• 5:10
  place got moved, brackets out of my control.
• 5:12
  I quite literally begged and pleaded and sobbed.
• 5:14
  I knew the Internet was going to do this all week and I refused
• 5:17
  to engage with that. No pun intended.
• 5:19
  I'm very happy for her and will be making it up.
• 5:22
  Brooke also commented on TikTok basically implying she was like
• 5:25
  OK with the reason why Tanna wasn't there.
• 5:27
  There was no hard feelings. I mean, to be fair, people
• 5:30
  online are like construction on your home.
• 5:33
  You couldn't have, I don't know, Ashley couldn't have just like
• 5:35
  stayed there to oversee the construction.
• 5:37
  There was no one else that could have helped you in this
• 5:39
  situation. You could have just like flown
• 5:40
  in and out, like back for the engagement party.
• 5:42
  This is a big deal. I don't know.
• 5:44
  I guess at the end of the day, like an engagement party, it's
• 5:46
  not like she missed her wedding. People didn't really love that
• 5:48
  excuse. But at the end of the day, I
• 5:49
  guess like if Brooke is OK with it, then Brooke's OK with it.
• 5:52
  However, fans also noted that Brooke's other bestie, BB, was
• 5:57
  not in attendance and Brooke has not addressed why BB wasn't
• 6:00
  there there. So I did cover Brooke and BB's
• 6:04
  possible falling out a couple of months ago on the pod.
• 6:07
  But Brooke hired BB as an assistant on the cancelled
• 6:10
  podcast tour for the European leg, I think it was.
• 6:13
  And Brooke talked on the podcast after the European Tour about
• 6:17
  how that was like really bad for their friendship because they
• 6:20
  got in some fights and stuff like that.
• 6:22
  So she was kind of like airing their dirty laundry out on the
• 6:24
  pod and it seemed to trigger a bit of a falling out between the
• 6:27
  two of them. At least that's how it appeared
• 6:29
  to fans. But Speaking of canceled, today,
• 6:33
  right now is actually the final episode of the podcast ever.
• 6:38
  So they've been pretty tight lipped on when the official
• 6:40
  final episode would be and then spill sash again.
• 6:44
  Christy, she posted about like, when is the end of canceled
• 6:47
  yesterday. And then Brooke actually
• 6:49
  commented being like, it's tomorrow.
• 6:51
  And then, yeah, right now, they've been posting over the
• 6:53
  past hour, like announcing that it's the final episode and
• 6:57
  they're wearing, like, full on funeral clothes for the final
• 7:01
  episode. And yeah, fans are going to be
• 7:03
  really upset. I know that, like, people think
• 7:05
  their final, I don't know. I guess these last like, 678
• 7:08
  episodes since they've announced they're officially ending have
• 7:11
  kind of been low effort, I suppose, in the scheme of
• 7:14
  things, and it's really turned people off.
• 7:17
  But I do think tons of people will TuneIn for this episode.
• 7:20
  And people will be very sad. Like, this was a very, very
• 7:23
  popular podcast. OK.
• 7:25
  And the last story that I have for you guys, I need to talk
• 7:28
  about how Michaela Naguera's luxury luxury hall is going
• 7:31
  viral all over the Internet for the wrong reasons.
• 7:35
  So beauty tik toker Michaela Naguera is under fire after
• 7:38
  posting a luxury shopping hall. So let's do my biggest luxury
• 7:42
  unboxing literally ever. Let's start with Prada.
• 7:45
  She posted 2 videos of her unboxing purses.
• 7:47
  Clothing, shoes from brands like Prada, Louis Vuitton, Mew Mew
• 7:52
  and users online have totaled all of this up.
• 7:56
  It was apparently over $200,000 U.S. dollars after tax.
• 8:02
  OK so we are no strangers to luxury halls from influencers,
• 8:05
  right? Like this type of content used
• 8:07
  to be such a staple from like 2014 to like 20-18 maybe 2019.
• 8:14
  But people are like in the year of 2025, everything that we've
• 8:19
  been through and the US specifically has been through
• 8:22
  over these past like 5 or almost six years, like read the room
• 8:25
  Diva is how people feel about this.
• 8:28
  Now I will say we look at people like Morgan Stewart or like
• 8:32
  Wisdom K or even Becca Bloom who do these like luxury halls and
• 8:37
  shopping content with designer items and they don't face that
• 8:41
  same level of backlash. Obviously seeing somebody drop,
• 8:45
  like I said, over $200,000 at once is a very different vibe
• 8:50
  than seeing people be like, Oh yeah, I bought this like one
• 8:52
  shirt at Chanel or whatever. But regardless, I am sure that I
• 8:56
  have watched a Morgan Stuart Hall that was over $200,000
• 8:58
  before. I think the difference here is
• 9:02
  that luxury fashion, luxury accessories, even kind of like
• 9:07
  wealth influencers like Becca Bloom, I wouldn't necessarily
• 9:10
  call her like a fashion creator, but she's like a luxury creator.
• 9:13
  They've been able to kind of brand themselves as having a
• 9:16
  different level of appreciation for like fashion, art, the
• 9:22
  design, the craft, you know, of a luxury good, whether it's
• 9:26
  authentic or not, whether they actually love that or not.
• 9:29
  That's what they've been able to convey to us.
• 9:31
  And therefore we see, I guess, their love of these brands,
• 9:34
  their love of luxury and the content that goes along with it
• 9:38
  as more serious than Michaela's because it's from the
• 9:42
  perspective of like appreciating art and fashion and textiles and
• 9:46
  design and craftsmanship. It's almost like they're able to
• 9:48
  position their consumption of luxury items as like
• 9:51
  collectibles, like the same as a collecting art or something like
• 9:55
  that. Whereas, you know, I think with
• 9:57
  Michaela, it just feels like she's obsessed with like
• 10:00
  overconsumption and labels. And I don't know if that's
• 10:03
  necessarily a fair judgement because I mean, we've been
• 10:05
  having the conversation that like buying designer in 2025 can
• 10:09
  very well mean that you are not getting high quality items and
• 10:12
  therefore why else are you buying it if not for the label?
• 10:15
  So I'm not necessarily saying that's like a fair assessment or
• 10:18
  a fair judgement, but I'm just trying to figure out what the
• 10:20
  difference is between Michaela buying all this stuff and
• 10:24
  showing it to us and the backlash she's getting versus
• 10:27
  other luxury creators. Because we see those luxury
• 10:29
  creators all over the Internet and people are like, yes, Oh my
• 10:31
  God, I love this. And they really like appreciate
• 10:33
  the content that they make in different ways.
• 10:35
  I'm not saying that they never get backlash like they
• 10:37
  definitely do, but yes, I think it's seen or perceived or
• 10:41
  received a little bit differently.
• 10:43
  So there are a lot of like hot takes about this.
• 10:46
  I think my favorite one is from fashion influencer Madeline
• 10:49
  White. She posted a video saying we'll
• 10:51
  never see a luxury hall like Michaela's from her because so
• 10:55
  many designer brands, basically what we were saying, are selling
• 10:58
  poor quality items. Now this.
• 10:59
  Is the reason that you will never see a Michaela style mass
• 11:02
  luxury unboxing from me ever again.
• 11:05
  But it's because of shit like this.
• 11:06
  Honey, I wore this one day on my wedding.
• 11:08
  I spent 10, $1000 on his bag. Michaela to me is so fascinating
• 11:12
  because she is like so 2015 coded and I just feel like in
• 11:16
  the era of like TikTok and Gen. Zed becoming the most culturally
• 11:20
  relevant generation online. I actually can't believe
• 11:24
  Michaela got so famous and successful because she is so
• 11:28
  like dated. And I don't mean that in a
• 11:30
  negative way. I'm not trying to be shady.
• 11:32
  I just feel like I look at the beauty gurus of like the the OG
• 11:36
  YouTube beauty gurus and all of them have had to adapt their
• 11:40
  style of makeup, their style of content, you know, despite
• 11:43
  having huge followings as culture shifted, they had to,
• 11:47
  you know, adapt and evolve with culture to maintain relevancy.
• 11:52
  And it's so funny because Michaela came out the gate, you
• 11:55
  know, 2020 on TikTok whenever she started and was just so like
• 11:59
  2015. And she's just been able to like
• 12:02
  fully build this like massively successful career off of that
• 12:06
  exact vibe that the beauty gurus who established that exact vibe
• 12:10
  have actually had to evolve out of of to maintain relevance.
• 12:14
  I find it so fascinating. And I don't think that
• 12:16
  Michaela's audience are Gen. Z like I do think that they are
• 12:19
  probably like elder millennials, maybe even Gen.
• 12:21
  X, but is so interesting to me. I don't know.
• 12:24
  Let me know what you guys think about that.
• 12:26
  Anyways, guys, that's it for mini scroll today.
• 12:28
  Thank you so much for listening. I love you guys.
