My wife works in the spirits industry and can confirm that the Macallan placement is highly likely. Look at shows like Emily in Paris for more aggressive examples of this: Lillet!
Most aggressive example was Michters placements on Billions. It's almost like they stopped the scene to have someone drop a bottle in the middle of the shot
I too was sucked into the 48 minute YouTube video last night, and my biggest takeaway is to always plan for the worst even if it’s a buzzkill!!! Just like how a prenup might seem unsexy but could protect you in the long run, backing up a collaborative creative venture with legal documentation from the jump is probably a good call. I felt so bad listening to Emma talk about how there was just an unspoken division of labor but minimal legal framework for their podcast. Could have saved her a lot of headache had that legal work been done at the beginning or at least once the podcast started taking off.
I’m so happy someone else watched. I actually think Emma went to college with me, which I’m putting together now.
The obvious thing is… when they started the show they might’ve not realized how good a business they were building, so the prenup thing didn’t even come to mind. It sucks bringing paperwork into friendships but I guess it will become more normalized
I love the Belvedere so much. I mean it’s a stage set basically instead of an actual building and it’s rotting but it rules. Once I checked in and they were shooting a porno in my room! It did not feel sanitary! They did not give me a different room!
Honestly the Hermes valuation eclipsing LVMH is somewhat mindblowing considering the number of brands under the LVMH umbrella in multiple industries. Incroyable...
On the yacht firings last year my friend and I met a yacht crew at a club in Greece and they told us a woman got fired that day for feeding the owner too close to his run. It’s tough out there!
my brother (gay man, not rich -2/3 isn't bad) says hard agree to reviews - adds that the decor looks like liberace's living room and suggests being careful with acid because of it.

Another example is the Netflix show "Running Point" (Kate Hudson). There was a ton of odd product mentions that seemed crowbarred into the dialog.
Also LOTs of restaurants were mentioned in the show; I'm assuming these places let Netflix film for free-ish in exchange for a plug
I was wondering about the Coca Cola bottle (full sugar) next to Khloe on call her daddy today….
Totally. These days, I'm assumming everything the Kardashians (and their kids) eat, drink or wear has a contract behind it.
Hugo Spritz economy was booming last summer

Women are socially conditioned to not talk about money. Break that Good Girl conditioning (Kasia Urbaniak)
The Happy Hour piece with Chuck and Hailee, you linked from The Cut, is so wholesome.
I loveeeee them so much.
I am amazed that every video of hers I have seen looks like it would be incredible. She doesn't miss
Mention of Hermes requires me to plug the Acquired episode on them, one of the show's best.

Agree!
Business and friendships don’t mix. Pretty sure that’s a crack commandment.
I wish it did, but you’re mostly right
Happy Hour is a recession indicator
agree, i miss it a lot though

So should we crowdfund
Emily have you been to the Maidstone? If not you need to. One of the strangest places around.
TAKE ME, I'll be out there all of July
You'd have to convince my grandmother lmao. But I'd bet there are at least a few Feed Me readers in the crowd.
SoCal girl here (in defense of Sun Life)- Billion Dollar Smoothie is overrated but Mint Chocolate Chip (~$18) is better than any Erewhon Smoothie
When I go to LA I really enjoy walking to the Sunlife on Sunset, spiritual activity
truly. love the founder's story too - like those smoothies literally saved his life lmao
and the crystals...
hmm... feed me on fire island event this summer? emily we need to bring you to Tea!!
EASY yes
The A24 job posting just solidified the decision I made to take Purdue University’s Data & AI storytelling Cert . 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Apply and then hire us to make a movie
My sentiments exactly.

Love that Sunlife Organics can exist outside of CA—they definitely made a splash in Austin with that 50g protein smoothie 😂
Wondering how much more cultural relevance $$$ smoothies in general will have considering even grocery stores are doing Erewhon dupe ones
Meanwhile they are basically 80g sugar bombs 💣
