== Wes Anderson Collaboration ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Can I actually go back? Sure. Because I just want to say, like, I saw this and I was so excited.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's just kind of how I want to start with this. I saw this in our notes and I was like, oh, my God, I'm so excited. Because I love Wes Anderson and I love the look of Wes Anderson's movies. Yep. So I was very excited about the potential of a Wes Anderson-Mont Blanc collaboration. I watched the film. I love the film. So we'll go back now. I won't talk about the products yet. Okay. Because I don't think you want to talk about them yet. The film, the ad that they made, adorable, fantastic, loved it. Like, I understand some people don't like Wes Anderson's stuff because it's a very particular vibe and he follows that vibe every time. But it's actually what I love about Wes Anderson. Like, it's kind of like you find a musician that you like and they have a style and they just keep doing that style. Like, that's what it's like. And so, yeah, I love it. I think it's great.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. So the film, I actually laughed out loud several times. Yeah. It's hilarious. I mean, I'm going to go, like, I think I might just have to go back and just write down, like, what they say. Mm-hmm. Like, the whole, like, just write the script myself. Because, I mean, they don't say a lot, but what they say and how they say it is brilliant, right? Like, which is what you're, the expectation here. But, like, the characters, I mean, are they playing themselves? I don't guess they're, I can't decide if they're playing themselves or not.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I think they're playing accentuated versions of themselves. Like, I don't think that they're playing characters, right? Because he's even referencing the fact, like, I am Wes Anderson. I made a pin. Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. Yeah. So, like, there's one point where they're going over the products. Like, all the stuff they say is hilarious. Yeah. And they're going over the products. And Schwarzman picks up the, like, they're each going over. And Wes is like, oh, and here's this, you know, the Meistersuk. And I forget the other guy's name. And he's like, oh, and here's these great leather products. And Schwarzman picks up the tray of pins. And, like, here's all these Montblancs. And he goes, this isn't a Montblanc. What the hell is this? And he's talking about Wes's pin because it's different looking than all the other ones. And I was like, it's hilarious.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know, I'm going to use this pin. And I think, like, Schwarzman was like, I'm going to use this one. Like, I don't want your one. It's kind of what he said. Like, I'm going to stick with this one. Thanks.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's really good. It's like they were just, like, kind of, like, dogging Wes's design on the pin. It's like, what the hell is this? He literally goes, what the hell is this?

'''Myke Hurley:''' And, like, I'm watching that part back right now. And he's, like, making faces at him. Oh, yeah. And then, so this is it. He says, Wes asks Rupert Friend, do you like this? And Friend's like, I, like, prefer the original.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And then, like, for the whole, like, second half. Like, this is only three minutes. But, like, for literally the second half of the film, and maybe even they might have even started in the beginning. They're actually dogging Mont Blanc that they have two quotes. Oh, like, three? Yeah.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Like, three taglines? Three taglines. It's really good. The whole commercial is just fantastic. Like, it'll be in the show notes. You have to go watch it. It's really good.

'''Myke Hurley:''' So, like, one of them is, like, Mont Blanc, inspire writing. And then they'll go, like, and also, leave your mark.

'''Myke Hurley:''' And it's just, like. So, it says, Mont Blanc, inspire writing. That's our slogan. Also, make your mark. There's two slogans. Leave your mark. Yes. Thank you. There's three slogans in total. Fantastic. I got the biggest kick out of this. I love it so much. I love it so much.
