- 0:46Speaker 1: said my boobs.

- 1:11Speaker 2: You love me as bloomers?
- 1:15Speaker 1: You don't love me?
- 1:17Speaker 2: You're wearing Bloomers today? You know? I love you?
- 1:20Speaker 1: Guys? Getting a compliment out of this guy is the
- 1:23Speaker 1: hardest thing I've ever tried to do in my life.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Okay, it's gotta be organic.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I've never gotten one compliment, you never said one nice thing.
- 1:34Speaker 1: But maybe in the next nine. We've known each other
- 1:36Speaker 1: for night, we've been working together for nine years.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Yeah, so maybe like the next nine.
- 1:46Speaker 1: Okay, So I am gonna do the Italy episode, so
- 1:49Speaker 1: it's your lucky day.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Oh great, Okay. I wasn't really confident in my top five.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Okay, well, well we don't have to like blow out
- 1:56Speaker 1: the top five.
- 1:57Speaker 3: We can still, we can still do that.
- 1:58Speaker 1: But people just ask me to talk about my trip
- 2:00Speaker 1: and like, I didn't know. Whatever, I'm sure you do,
- 2:04Speaker 1: Sure you do. So I went to Italy, as you
- 2:09Speaker 1: guys saw, and I got very, very lucky that my
- 2:14Speaker 1: aunt married a man and they built a home in Italy.
- 2:20Speaker 1: And so for my sister's graduation, we were like, Okay,
- 2:25Speaker 1: my mom has never been to Europe, my stepdad's never
- 2:27Speaker 1: been to Italy, my sister's never been to Europe, which
- 2:30Speaker 1: I know is a luxury, so it's not like a
- 2:31Speaker 1: big deal. But when you have somewhere to stay and
- 2:35Speaker 1: you can plan it like a year out, it's it's
- 2:37Speaker 1: doable for sure.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Do you refer to that man as your uncle?
- 2:41Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:41Speaker 1: So it's funny because so it is my technically my
- 2:46Speaker 1: step aunt or aunt as some people say my aunt Andrea,
- 2:50Speaker 1: but I've been in her life since I was six,
- 2:51Speaker 1: so I feel like it's just like she's my real
- 2:54Speaker 1: aunt at this point. I mean, my stepdad's been in
- 2:55Speaker 1: my life forever and she I've never called Mark uncle,
- 3:03Speaker 1: like shout out to Mark's he's dope as hell, but
- 3:06Speaker 1: he's her third husband and which no shade notes like that,
- 3:10Speaker 1: that's not the issue.
- 3:11Speaker 3: The issue is that like he came into my.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Life as when I was already like an adult. It
- 3:15Speaker 1: so there, I don't know, Like Belle and I were
- 3:19Speaker 1: talking about it, were like, should we like just try
- 3:21Speaker 1: calling him uncle? Did it?
- 3:22Speaker 3: Because like he is our uncle, you know what I mean?
- 3:25Speaker 1: But like I feel like my aunts or uncles that
- 3:28Speaker 1: I call like aunt Cindy, uncle Paul, like they've been
- 3:30Speaker 1: in my life.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Since I was like a baby.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So I guess I don't really know. I mean, we
- 3:35Speaker 1: call him like human encyclopedia. He's really smart, like in
- 3:37Speaker 1: a spare time, he'll like learn a language.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Just see Italian like born in Italy or.
- 3:41Speaker 1: No, so no, so this is really cool and shout
- 3:45Speaker 1: out to manifesting.
- 3:46Speaker 3: So he's lived a really cool life.
- 3:47Speaker 1: He's like adventurous, really successful in business, never had kids
- 3:52Speaker 1: of his own, but he's like one of the smartest
- 3:54Speaker 1: people I know. And he uh, he used to live
- 3:59Speaker 1: in Spain, I think for work. And I was like, oh,
- 4:02Speaker 1: did you you know? Did they decide that or did
- 4:04Speaker 1: you And he said, I begged them to transfer me.
- 4:06Speaker 1: So he wanted to like go live in an another country.
- 4:08Speaker 1: We love that and born here, born here American like
- 4:12Speaker 1: literally my aunt, which is actually really crazy. The Invisible
- 4:16Speaker 1: String knew his brother like in high school, so like
- 4:19Speaker 1: they have a ton of connections of people that they
- 4:21Speaker 1: both know from like when they were younger, which is crazy. Anyways,
- 4:24Speaker 1: he lived in Spain for a while and made friends
- 4:28Speaker 1: with a dude named Stefano whose family is in or
- 4:34Speaker 1: from the area that they have a house now.
- 4:38Speaker 3: And in nineteen ninety one, the year I was born,
- 4:40Speaker 3: he went.
- 4:40Speaker 1: There to that area and said, one day I'm going
- 4:43Speaker 1: to own a place there. And I mean that was
- 4:46Speaker 1: a long ass time ago, and like, even when we're
- 4:49Speaker 1: planning the trip, we kept saying, you know, she kept saying,
- 4:53Speaker 1: like there's so much to do, There's so much to do.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I'm like, how much can there be to Like when
- 4:56Speaker 1: someone visits Chicago, I'm like, all there is to do
- 4:59Speaker 1: is like.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Drink or eat, you know what I mean.
- 5:01Speaker 1: And if you're if it's summer, you like you drink
- 5:04Speaker 1: or eat outside and like maybe go to the lake
- 5:07Speaker 1: and then drink. I don't know whatever, something like, really,
- 5:09Speaker 1: how much is there to do? No, bitch, there's so
- 5:10Speaker 1: much to do. So they live. There are places in
- 5:13Speaker 1: the state of Austa is how it's pronounced. Yeah, there's
- 5:18Speaker 1: states in I think every.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Other country think that, you know.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they don't call them states, I don't
- 5:28Speaker 1: think because they've probably been Italian. But yeah, there's like
- 5:30Speaker 1: states and then like cities and areas within the states.
- 5:33Speaker 1: So yeah, Austa, and they are very very northern tips.
- 5:36Speaker 1: So like literally we turned around in France one day
- 5:41Speaker 1: or like we like yeah, like or Switzerland, like those
- 5:44Speaker 1: two are really close there.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Anyways, So.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Years later, there's like this little like really charming village
- 5:52Speaker 1: and it legit looks like it used to look I
- 5:54Speaker 1: think a long ass time ago, and it's all these
- 5:57Speaker 1: little barns that used to be obviously animals.
- 6:00Speaker 3: There are still animals there, but.
- 6:01Speaker 1: They bought a barn and redid it into like a
- 6:05Speaker 1: modern home. And because they were able to like build
- 6:07Speaker 1: it themselves, like in Italy, like the bathrooms are small
- 6:11Speaker 1: as hell, Like in Europe, bathrooms are really small like bedrooms,
- 6:14Speaker 1: so they were able to make like big bathrooms and
- 6:17Speaker 1: like things that you would want, you.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Know, in a house over there anyway.
- 6:20Speaker 1: So it's like some of the places are like still ruins,
- 6:23Speaker 1: like it's still like a barn, and then some of
- 6:24Speaker 1: the places are you know, like a super nice house.
- 6:27Speaker 3: It's really cool.
- 6:27Speaker 1: It's in a little village and literally you like walk
- 6:30Speaker 1: through the hills, like you park the car down at
- 6:32Speaker 1: the bottom and you like walk through the hills, and
- 6:34Speaker 1: there's like a watering thing where people like wash their
- 6:38Speaker 1: you know, do their laundry whatever.
- 6:39Speaker 3: And it's on a ton of vineyards.
- 6:41Speaker 1: So it's like right in the backyard Bell and I
- 6:44Speaker 1: excuse me a ssperptions the microphone, Bell and I would
- 6:46Speaker 1: go like for a walk in the fricking vineyard afterwards,
- 6:50Speaker 1: and it's just like what I think is amazing is
- 6:53Speaker 1: the fact that like none of this stuff needs to
- 6:56Speaker 1: be like regulated. There doesn't need to be security cameras.
- 6:59Speaker 1: There's no like in America. Kids would go through there,
- 7:01Speaker 1: trash the grapes, eat the grapes, yes, like spray paint them,
- 7:05Speaker 1: like do a dumb TikTok. It's just crazy how much
- 7:08Speaker 1: stuff is left like preserved and beautiful, because that's awesome
- 7:12Speaker 1: because like people care. Anyways, So stayed with them for
- 7:15Speaker 1: a week, And the reason that I was able to
- 7:18Speaker 1: stay time for more time after is because when that
- 7:21Speaker 1: first leg of the trip, you know, I had a
- 7:23Speaker 1: place to stay and they were paying for my parents
- 7:26Speaker 1: were paying for most of the meals. Now I paid
- 7:28Speaker 1: for some of my fight, but anyway, so I was
- 7:29Speaker 1: able to send the trip. Also because the timing of
- 7:32Speaker 1: that trip was right before the fourth of July here
- 7:35Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of listeners. So I was
- 7:36Speaker 1: just I've never taken that long of a vacation in
- 7:38Speaker 1: my life ever, and I was able to do it.
- 7:40Speaker 1: I felt really So it's my first ever solo trip,
- 7:43Speaker 1: and everyone told me, like, you should do it, you
- 7:44Speaker 1: should do it. I'm not like someone who really likes
- 7:46Speaker 1: to do things solo. I'm a yap er. I like
- 7:48Speaker 1: to share experiences, and I still do feel that way,
- 7:51Speaker 1: but it was something that at that time of my
- 7:52Speaker 1: life was very important for me to be able to
- 7:55Speaker 1: accomplish that. And like it was really cool to like
- 7:59Speaker 1: play a trip entirely myself, Like it's obviously nice to
- 8:03Speaker 1: have help, but I was I just felt very proud
- 8:06Speaker 1: of myself, Like I did the entire route, like throughout
- 8:09Speaker 1: the country, Like I did the entire and I was
- 8:11Speaker 1: traveling by trains, I was traveling by buses, I was,
- 8:14Speaker 1: I see it in different places, so like I was
- 8:16Speaker 1: just very proud of like, oh, you know, you picked
- 8:18Speaker 1: a good hotel, you picked a good area, you plan
- 8:21Speaker 1: this all out, you know in a good way. So
- 8:22Speaker 1: that was like a way that I felt really like
- 8:25Speaker 1: proud and fulfilled.
- 8:27Speaker 3: And then I have a United.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Credit card, So if you go through their system, you
- 8:33Speaker 1: can book things even if you don't have like enough
- 8:35Speaker 1: points through a cheaper like you have cheaper pricing just
- 8:39Speaker 1: for being a card member. So also like for anyone
- 8:44Speaker 1: who wants to go to Europe, like Italy specifically or Grease,
- 8:48Speaker 1: it may cost you a lot to get there, and
- 8:51Speaker 1: the euro and dollar might be similar However, things just
- 8:54Speaker 1: are cheaper there. The only thing that isn't cheaper as
- 8:57Speaker 1: far as I'm concerned is gas their guests is a
- 8:59Speaker 1: little bit higher, but like there's public transit, like food
- 9:03Speaker 1: is cheaper. It's just so it's doable if you want
- 9:07Speaker 1: to do it. And like I think I stayed four
- 9:10Speaker 1: days in Milan was one of my steps, and it
- 9:12Speaker 1: was four nights in a hotel there was under one
- 9:15Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I think it was under eight hundred dollars
- 9:17Speaker 1: and it was like a four star hotel.
- 9:18Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Wow, So the pricing is is pretty good as far
- 9:22Speaker 1: as like the route of my trip and things I did.
- 9:26Speaker 1: I know you have you have heard out, so I
- 9:28Speaker 1: will quickly tell you what I did. So we flew
- 9:33Speaker 1: into Milan as a family. Well I met them there.
- 9:36Speaker 1: I met them in Milan and met up with everyone.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Milan is a huge city. It's Milan is the fashion
- 9:45Speaker 1: capital of the world. Yeah, and like obviously there's a
- 9:48Speaker 1: lot of iconic designers Dulcia and Gabana, Gucci, Prada, those
- 9:53Speaker 1: are all Italian designers, so that were like you know,
- 9:57Speaker 1: they're flagship stores or whatever are in Milan. And yeah,
- 10:01Speaker 1: so big city you fly there. We tried desperately to
- 10:06Speaker 1: pack my big ass suitcase with the rest of the
- 10:08Speaker 1: suitcases in the tiny car. It's a little bit of
- 10:11Speaker 1: an issue. But anyways, yeah, I met there. We drove
- 10:13Speaker 1: two hours up to northern Italy to Aosta where they lived.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Mark uh Mark uncle Martha.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Uncle Mark drove two hours there to pick us up
- 10:25Speaker 1: and two hours back. We're very glad that Andrea didn't
- 10:28Speaker 1: come because we needed all the space that we had. Yes, yes,
- 10:32Speaker 1: And we were a little delayed. My flight was delayed.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Customs was a little crazy. But when we arrived, she
- 10:37Speaker 1: had like a hole. They call it like an appartivo,
- 10:39Speaker 1: so it's like an appetizer and drinks before dinner. Anyway,
- 10:42Speaker 1: she had this whole setup, but like beautiful place. She
- 10:44Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna take you down to your room.
- 10:46Speaker 3: You're gonna love. It's where they used to keep the cows.
- 10:49Speaker 3: And I'm like, hell yeah, and.
- 10:50Speaker 1: They were like we literally dug through cowshit to make this.
- 10:53Speaker 1: But I had this little apartment that could be like
- 10:55Speaker 1: separate from the rest and it was cool down there.
- 10:57Speaker 1: It was was the heat wave, and places in Europe
- 10:59Speaker 1: don't really have ac that often, so it was great
- 11:02Speaker 1: and cool, and as they were digging in my room
- 11:05Speaker 1: they found a sign that was from the Mussolini era,
- 11:08Speaker 1: which not a good dude towards the end, and so
- 11:11Speaker 1: you know, they decided to keep that there, which I
- 11:13Speaker 1: was like, are you sure? But you know, every night
- 11:15Speaker 1: I was like, is the ghost of like muscle? Because
- 11:17Speaker 1: everything's so old there, Like I just felt like ghosts
- 11:19Speaker 1: were like gonna like kill me or something. I don't know.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was really, it was. It's wild how
- 11:24Speaker 3: old shit is.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Anyways, so we did a week there and they were
- 11:28Speaker 1: that was very much a trip because my mom is
- 11:30Speaker 1: like an Almond mom and likes to say moving and
- 11:33Speaker 1: not relaxed for one second. It paired good with them
- 11:36Speaker 1: because Uncle Mark is very active, Like even before we'd
- 11:40Speaker 1: get up, he would ride like a twenty mile bike
- 11:42Speaker 1: ride and then he'd be like, are you guys ready
- 11:44Speaker 1: to hike? And like it was crazy. So we had
- 11:46Speaker 1: alarms that we were hiking, which you would have not
- 11:49Speaker 1: loved that part.
- 11:50Speaker 3: But some of the hikes were.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in
- 11:53Speaker 1: my life.
- 11:54Speaker 3: Like I I like almost died on this eight hour hike.
- 11:56Speaker 1: But when we got to a lake, like there were
- 12:00Speaker 1: Italian singing in Unison, just by the lake, Like I've
- 12:02Speaker 1: never seen something so beautiful in my life.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Like I was gonna like, why are you guys singing together?
- 12:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
- 12:08Speaker 1: They were just like singing on the most gorgeous like
- 12:10Speaker 1: I just it was just crazy. And let me tell you, Nona,
- 12:13Speaker 1: Nona is hiking, little kids are hiking, Like there's just
- 12:16Speaker 1: a lot more active. Oh yeah, oh yeah, so I
- 12:21Speaker 1: mean I'm thinking, yeah, oh yeah. So we did a
- 12:25Speaker 1: lot of that, and we did some nights at home,
- 12:27Speaker 1: which I loved because their house is so beautiful, and
- 12:31Speaker 1: that was the whole We we went to France for
- 12:34Speaker 1: a day, which was cool. Ken confirm the French hate
- 12:37Speaker 1: us for that, and it is true. I did go
- 12:40Speaker 1: into a French McDonald's just to like see what's going
- 12:42Speaker 1: on menu totally crazy, totally different. They had like kurry
- 12:45Speaker 1: on there, they'd hold vegetarian menu. And then we went
- 12:49Speaker 1: to the highest mountain in Europe, mont Blanc. You may
- 12:53Speaker 1: have heard of the pens Oh yeah, wait, you probably have,
- 13:00Speaker 1: but like maybe probably there's a sun Blanc which and
- 13:13Speaker 1: there's still like a freaking glacier up there and then
- 13:15Speaker 1: when you get to your so he did not climb
- 13:17Speaker 1: a mountain. This has like a little cable car and
- 13:20Speaker 1: every time, like there stops along the way and like
- 13:24Speaker 1: one stop there was like a creek and like a
- 13:27Speaker 1: babbling brook and flowers and was like so beautiful and
- 13:30Speaker 1: then I was like, oh, red Bull sponsorship, which was
- 13:32Speaker 1: fucking wild wild, but yeah, we got to the top
- 13:34Speaker 1: we could see Switzerland and it was just that was
- 13:37Speaker 1: a crazy thing to do. Anyways, first half adventurous, so
- 13:39Speaker 1: the second half I was like, Okay, this is going
- 13:42Speaker 1: to be for my chilling time. And so first stop
- 13:45Speaker 1: was my grandma's favorite place in the world. She always
- 13:48Speaker 1: wanted to take me there, Lake Como, and I can definitely.
- 13:51Speaker 3: See why it has the reputation it does.
- 13:53Speaker 1: George Clooney has a house on there, lots of celebrities,
- 13:59Speaker 1: and it was it's the most like the first time
- 14:01Speaker 1: I laid eyes on it, I was like, this is
- 14:02Speaker 1: the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen. It's just this
- 14:05Speaker 1: beautiful lake and like all these homes on mountains just.
- 14:09Speaker 3: You know, I love a lake.
- 14:10Speaker 1: I'm a So my first stop was it was on
- 14:14Speaker 1: a Friday. They Uncle Mark drove the whole squad back
- 14:18Speaker 1: to Milan to the airport, I said goodbye to my
- 14:22Speaker 1: family and then this was the part I was most
- 14:24Speaker 1: nervous for, was the training system. But they have a
- 14:27Speaker 1: really rapid, amazing, like nice train system, so you could
- 14:31Speaker 1: you could do like the whole country by train and
- 14:33Speaker 1: it would be so affordable. Like some of my tickets
- 14:35Speaker 1: were twelve dollars. Whoa yeah, like yeah, and that was
- 14:40Speaker 1: like for first class.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Like it's like a round trip downtown from the suburbs here.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Correct, and so like you could even go to Rome
- 14:46Speaker 1: and then do the anyways.
- 14:47Speaker 3: So got there, got the train. I was really nervous.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Made it to Lake Como and then I had to
- 14:54Speaker 1: take a ferry because a lot of people think it's
- 14:57Speaker 1: just like a small lake, but it's not. I got
- 15:00Speaker 1: to take a ferry or had to take a faery rather,
- 15:02Speaker 1: so I didn't want to pay million dollars to get
- 15:04Speaker 1: to the little area on.
- 15:05Speaker 3: Lake Como that I was staying.
- 15:07Speaker 1: And I have to say, I crushed that tube bitch
- 15:09Speaker 1: with my my research.
- 15:10Speaker 3: And I don't even use chin.
- 15:12Speaker 1: I used TikTok. There are areas like Bellagio, which.
- 15:16Speaker 2: I'm sure the Vega Hotel.
- 15:19Speaker 3: That is what it's named. Belagio Managio.
- 15:22Speaker 1: There's all these places that are Belagio and Menagio, which
- 15:27Speaker 1: is hysterical. And there's all these plists that are so
- 15:29Speaker 1: crowded and people are like, don't go to Koma CuO crowded.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Okay.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I stayed in Tremezzo, where one of the hotels that's
- 15:36Speaker 1: regarded as one of the most beautiful hotels in the
- 15:38Speaker 1: world is. Yes, it's a little city in the lake
- 15:41Speaker 1: on the lake, and it was just like less crowded.
- 15:45Speaker 1: You can get some other spots if you want, but
- 15:46Speaker 1: like it was all very local. And then this hotel,
- 15:51Speaker 1: the Grand Hotel Lake Como. You've definitely seen it. It's
- 15:54Speaker 1: like the one with the orange and white umbrellas on TikTok.
- 15:56Speaker 1: It's like this insanely like if I felt like it
- 15:59Speaker 1: was like Bridger Chain hotel. I could not afford to
- 16:01Speaker 1: stay there, but I love to go get like a
- 16:04Speaker 1: cocktail there at night and feel bougie. Like you could
- 16:07Speaker 1: either go on the water, yes, so you could even
- 16:10Speaker 1: you could go on the water or like they have
- 16:12Speaker 1: a floating pool, which is really cool. It's like floating
- 16:15Speaker 1: on the lake. Or you could go up to this
- 16:18Speaker 1: like terrace and have you know whatever.
- 16:21Speaker 3: It was very boogie.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Anyways, I stayed in a non boogie place, but Hotel
- 16:25Speaker 1: Villa Eddie will recommend. It was a three star, but
- 16:27Speaker 1: it should have been like five. There was ac there
- 16:30Speaker 1: was a TV. I didn't use either of them. I
- 16:32Speaker 1: had a balcony. Everyone was really nice. This sweet man
- 16:35Speaker 1: who had to help me get my suitcase up the hill,
- 16:37Speaker 1: who was smaller than me. They helped me book stuff.
- 16:41Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 16:41Speaker 1: It was a great experience. Yes, So I loved my
- 16:43Speaker 1: little town and like, by the end of it, I
- 16:48Speaker 1: knew my way around, I knew the spots. I felt
- 16:52Speaker 1: very independent. I went to George Clooney's favorite restaurant. The
- 16:55Speaker 1: chef yells at me, so what did you threw him? Well,
- 17:00Speaker 1: that's interesting that you ask, because I called this man
- 17:03Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, I see the sign for it.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Where are you guys?
- 17:07Speaker 1: I'm outside and he's like, it's up the stairs and
- 17:09Speaker 1: just get in here.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Like he yells at me and he hung up on me.
- 17:11Speaker 3: So I call him back. I'm like, hey, I.
- 17:13Speaker 1: See the side, I don't see the restaurant. He's like
- 17:14Speaker 1: it's in a house yelling at me, and I'm like, okay.
- 17:17Speaker 1: It turns out there's a literal apartment complex at the
- 17:19Speaker 1: bottom of a fucking hill.
- 17:21Speaker 3: There's also named the same thing, my guy.
- 17:23Speaker 1: So then I call him back, because in America, you're like,
- 17:25Speaker 1: you have to tell people when you're gonna be late.
- 17:26Speaker 1: He's like, we wait for you, and he hangs up
- 17:28Speaker 1: on me anyway, So I get there.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Great customers, we know it's.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I'm like, also, you're this famous chef. Why are you
- 17:33Speaker 1: answering the phone? So I get there chef, Yeah, he's
- 17:39Speaker 1: literally a famous chef, like fucking George Clooney's favorite restaurant,
- 17:42Speaker 1: and you were like yelling at me anyway. So I
- 17:44Speaker 1: get there late and we know who each other is obviously,
- 17:47Speaker 1: and then he's like he does a switch up. He's
- 17:49Speaker 1: very nice. He brings me a cocktail. He's like, hey,
- 17:51Speaker 1: you know what do you want to drink? And then
- 17:53Speaker 1: I'm going to curate the menual and he said like, okay,
- 17:55Speaker 1: I'm gonna send something over for you and then I'll
- 17:58Speaker 1: come back and we can kind of figure out what
- 17:59Speaker 1: you want, what you want to curate, Okay, So I
- 18:02Speaker 1: order an appetizer. One thing was from his garden. I
- 18:06Speaker 1: think he was defended. I didn't order it, but I
- 18:07Speaker 1: ordered the best ever like zucchini, like fried zucchini thing. Anyways,
- 18:13Speaker 1: and I had my cocktail, I had my wine. That
- 18:15Speaker 1: man never came back to me, never came back to me.
- 18:19Speaker 1: And maybe it's because this family of fucking American Italians
- 18:23Speaker 1: who were scoreaming at each other at this.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Big table, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
- 18:28Speaker 1: But then the man came back to me and he
- 18:30Speaker 1: yelled like, at the end.
- 18:32Speaker 3: Of the night, ma'am, what are you doing?
- 18:33Speaker 1: The kitchen is clothing. I'm sorry you can't eat. And
- 18:35Speaker 1: I was like, I've been literally trying to make my
- 18:39Speaker 1: little eyes at you this whole time. So then he
- 18:42Speaker 1: yells at me and he's like whatever I bring you
- 18:43Speaker 1: tira masou or like I'm like okay, like I'm starving.
- 18:49Speaker 3: So he walks away.
- 18:49Speaker 1: So then his sweet little waitress comes over to me
- 18:52Speaker 1: and she's like, ma'am, like what do you eat? You
- 18:54Speaker 1: eat anything? And I'm like, just a simple positive you
- 18:57Speaker 1: And she's like, okay, I'm gonna make you best or whatever.
- 19:00Speaker 1: So she goes to make me the pasta. Then she
- 19:03Speaker 1: walks by. Later, your pasta is almost done. Then he
- 19:06Speaker 1: comes to bring the dessert and he was like, you
- 19:09Speaker 1: have to pay, and I was like, oh, I think
- 19:10Speaker 1: she's like bringing my pasta over and he said no,
- 19:12Speaker 1: the kitchen is clothed. And I said, well, she just
- 19:14Speaker 1: said she was going to go make me something and
- 19:16Speaker 1: he said no, So he must have gone back there
- 19:17Speaker 1: and told her not.
- 19:18Speaker 2: To make me a fucking pasta problem.
- 19:20Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I'm like, you're getting too big
- 19:22Speaker 3: for your britches.
- 19:23Speaker 1: Anyway, So it's like a sad experience because I was
- 19:26Speaker 1: very excited and like that was the only reservation I
- 19:28Speaker 1: had planned ahead of time because I was like, oh,
- 19:29Speaker 1: I just want to see what this is. Anyways, that
- 19:31Speaker 1: artist took thing was amazing, but like, and it's interesting
- 19:35Speaker 1: because I wonder if I would have been treated that
- 19:37Speaker 1: way if I was like with a man or like
- 19:38Speaker 1: not a launch. Yeah, oh well definitely not. And let
- 19:41Speaker 1: me tell you, George is not walking up the hill
- 19:43Speaker 1: like I did. I saw it was only a couple
- 19:45Speaker 1: of miles, so I like walked a little bit. No,
- 19:47Speaker 1: George has a car service. Anyways, Loved where I stayed,
- 19:51Speaker 1: Loved that then so I did from Friday to Monday. Monday,
- 19:54Speaker 1: I left took the train to Milan. That became my
- 19:57Speaker 1: new home base. So then I booked a hotel for
- 19:59Speaker 1: four nights, but I was gonna do exploring Milan and
- 20:03Speaker 1: doing day trips as well. So got to Milan that night.
- 20:08Speaker 1: I had booked this Oh wait, let me go back.
- 20:11Speaker 1: My mom's sister and I went to an Italian orgy
- 20:13Speaker 1: on accident. My aunt was like, do you want to
- 20:16Speaker 1: go to these hot springs? And I was like yeah,
- 20:19Speaker 1: and then she was like it's a spawn. I'm like anyway,
- 20:22Speaker 1: So we go my mom, sister and I and it's
- 20:26Speaker 1: the coolest spot ever. It's like outdoors, indoors, but it's
- 20:30Speaker 1: at the bottom of mom bloc so you can like
- 20:32Speaker 1: see the mountains. It was a video anyways, so we
- 20:35Speaker 1: did that. But everyone, I think it's like a honeymoon place.
- 20:37Speaker 1: So everyone, when I tell you, everyone was banging r yes, yes,
- 20:43Speaker 1: because like they were outdoor there were like little hidden pools,
- 20:46Speaker 1: but then you go inside and like there's indoor hot
- 20:48Speaker 1: springs that you can swim through like dark rooms, and and.
- 20:51Speaker 3: There's people making up.
- 20:53Speaker 1: My mom and I are sitting in a pool I'll
- 20:55Speaker 1: never forget in broad daylight and she's there's some wonderful
- 20:59Speaker 1: lesbian left of us and she's like, oh my god,
- 21:01Speaker 1: they're doing Fingerstoff.
- 21:04Speaker 3: It's like oh and she's like yeah. The one girl's like,
- 21:07Speaker 3: oh you like that? Is it public? And like I'm like,
- 21:09Speaker 3: oh my god, not me with my mom.
- 21:11Speaker 1: Anyway, so I had I did. Unbeknownst to me, I
- 21:16Speaker 1: booked the same uh spa company in Milan because I
- 21:20Speaker 1: saw this viral spa that has this rain room and
- 21:23Speaker 1: it literally looks like it's a storm. Anyways, my night
- 21:25Speaker 1: one in Milan, I went to this place. You get drinks,
- 21:27Speaker 1: you get food, you can walk around. It was. It
- 21:30Speaker 1: was so cool these interactive like rooms for chilling with
- 21:33Speaker 1: like projector screens and music and face.
- 21:35Speaker 3: I don't know, it's really really cool.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Okay.
- 21:38Speaker 3: Then the next day I was like, okay, I'm gonna explore Milan.
- 21:41Speaker 1: I did the Duomo, which is I think it's a
- 21:44Speaker 1: word for church, but it's like famous in Milan just
- 21:46Speaker 1: because of how intricate it is and historical. H's it's
- 21:51Speaker 1: a church. I have a kink.
- 21:53Speaker 3: About old churches.
- 21:54Speaker 1: I love an old church, even if you know organized
- 21:57Speaker 1: religion and sometimes you know, it's a little tough. So oh,
- 22:00Speaker 1: I love an old church. I opted to do don't
- 22:03Speaker 1: ask me why because it was a heat wave.
- 22:05Speaker 3: To do the.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Stairs instead of the elevator. Very very many, very lot
- 22:14Speaker 1: upstairs to the top. But if you're gonna do it,
- 22:16Speaker 1: I recommend, yeah, I recommend doing going to the whole
- 22:20Speaker 1: part because you can either go to the middle, the top,
- 22:22Speaker 1: or the bottom. I'm glad I did the bottom because
- 22:25Speaker 1: there's like bodies and ship buried down there. But it
- 22:27Speaker 1: was cold, so that was nice. Anyways, I love the
- 22:30Speaker 1: old church. The next day, I did a day trip
- 22:34Speaker 1: to Verona. This is very chaotic where Romeo and Juliet
- 22:40Speaker 1: is set, and I met my second couple of the trip.
- 22:44Speaker 1: The first ones I met are a couple from Chicago
- 22:46Speaker 1: joined their honeymoon.
- 22:47Speaker 3: Hung out with them a little bit.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Then I met another couple in Verona and then we're like,
- 22:51Speaker 1: let's have another day trip. And then I went back
- 22:54Speaker 1: on another day trip with them the next day. And
- 22:58Speaker 1: that was crazy because I think I already told you
- 23:00Speaker 1: all of this, but the girlfriend didn't speak very good English,
- 23:03Speaker 1: but the boyfriend did, so like he would have to
- 23:07Speaker 1: translate between us, and then sometimes he would leave us alone.
- 23:12Speaker 3: O let me just tell you. But like girls are
- 23:15Speaker 3: just girls, you know.
- 23:16Speaker 1: We like point to stuff and like we can you know,
- 23:19Speaker 1: or she'll take she would even take fire.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Photos of me.
- 23:21Speaker 1: With that much communication. It's on girlhood. And the reason
- 23:24Speaker 1: I met them is because like they were trying to
- 23:26Speaker 1: take a photo. I offered to take one of them,
- 23:27Speaker 1: and then she offered to take one of me, and
- 23:29Speaker 1: she had this camera and she was like posing me
- 23:31Speaker 1: and telling me, like, no, you don't look good.
- 23:33Speaker 3: You look good. So it was it was great.
- 23:37Speaker 1: And yeah, and then I did like one more day
- 23:40Speaker 1: in Milan and went home. So that was like the
- 23:42Speaker 1: organization of the trip. And yeah, I'm trying to think.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Day one, my stepdad told a man, a crazy Italian man,
- 23:52Speaker 1: to kiss my mom. He was egging in on the
- 23:55Speaker 1: man did kiss my mom? She doesn't know that, like
- 24:01Speaker 1: what basso means and my Sunday. By the way, he
- 24:03Speaker 1: speaks Portuguese, so he was just speaking Portuguese all over
- 24:06Speaker 1: and like Spanish all over, like did not care. He's
- 24:08Speaker 1: someone who just will go into the language he knows
- 24:11Speaker 1: in a place where another language is Yeah, it's really
- 24:14Speaker 1: embarrassing for me, but shout out and so yeah, so
- 24:18Speaker 1: this man's like flirting with my sister and my mom.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Mom's like get over your bell, and I'm like, what
- 24:22Speaker 1: are you doing, Mom? And then he's like basso, basso,
- 24:24Speaker 1: and like you know, in Italy, like there's a lot
- 24:27Speaker 1: of touching, there's a lot of love, there's a lot
- 24:29Speaker 1: and he plopped a kiss right on my mom. So no,
- 24:35Speaker 1: and then later we found out he's like one of
- 24:36Speaker 1: the richest people in the town.
- 24:38Speaker 3: We thought he might have been drunk.
- 24:39Speaker 1: He's just a little like mentally a little bit, you know,
- 24:42Speaker 1: got some stuff going on. But I was like hot, No,
- 24:46Speaker 1: he was really old, but I would have kissed him
- 24:49Speaker 1: because apparently he's like one of the richest men in
- 24:51Speaker 1: the town. I'm trying to think of other highlights. I
- 24:53Speaker 1: accidentally I was so jet lagged, because that's a fucking
- 24:57Speaker 1: thing there obviously six hours six hours different. I know,
- 25:04Speaker 1: I actually do in a day when I was really tired. Yeah,
- 25:09Speaker 1: my aunt had a day.
- 25:12Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was just like I was so dehydrated.
- 25:14Speaker 1: It was like little rabbit pis. So it was okay,
- 25:17Speaker 1: but like that was really embarrassing. And then I didn't
- 25:19Speaker 1: go for like ten days, despite having fiber every morning,
- 25:24Speaker 1: going on like eight hour hikes and eating everything in.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Sight, was not growing toilet.
- 25:31Speaker 1: I yes, and my aunt had to give me a laxative,
- 25:35Speaker 1: which shout out to Pauline. I don't know how she
- 25:37Speaker 1: lives that life because you take that ship and then
- 25:40Speaker 1: in the middle of the night it hurts really bad
- 25:43Speaker 1: and then like you feel like you're gonna die. So
- 25:46Speaker 1: it was almost not worth it trying to think what else. Yeah,
- 25:49Speaker 1: meeting the couple was funny. We actually went to like
- 25:50Speaker 1: adult Cha and Gabata bar, like I didn't know. The
- 25:53Speaker 1: fries were like dng.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Oh wow.
- 25:55Speaker 1: The Last Supper is also in Milan. Nobody told me that,
- 25:59Speaker 1: so I I was outside of the church trying to
- 26:01Speaker 1: get in there and they were like, man, they book
- 26:03Speaker 1: tickets like a month out and I'm like, just let
- 26:05Speaker 1: me get a little peece of the of the Last
- 26:07Speaker 1: Supper because I'm all the way here and they're like,
- 26:09Speaker 1: we don't have any openings and I'm like can I
- 26:11Speaker 1: see it from the street and They're like no, and
- 26:13Speaker 1: I'm like, can you just give me one piece?
- 26:16Speaker 3: They did not allow me to do that.
- 26:18Speaker 2: What was going on in there, like a fake Jesus, Like, do.
- 26:21Speaker 3: You know what the Last Supper is?
- 26:22Speaker 2: Isn't that where like Jesus had supper with his apostles before.
- 26:26Speaker 1: They Yeah, but it's a literal painting. Oh, it is
- 26:29Speaker 1: a literal painting and it's on a.
- 26:31Speaker 2: Wall and so many people in like per day to
- 26:34Speaker 2: like look at it.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you have they like sell tickets or whatever.
- 26:37Speaker 1: But I did not know that's where it was located.
- 26:39Speaker 3: And I didn't know it was on the wall in.
- 26:40Speaker 1: A church because that's like one of the most famous paintings, right,
- 26:43Speaker 1: I think, like the.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Were the naked angels with the hands and their fingers
- 26:49Speaker 2: are touching. Oh yeah, is that Michael Angel?
- 26:52Speaker 1: Yeah I think I think so, And that's in I
- 26:55Speaker 1: think that's in Rome, right.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Basilica, Basilica.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, that was like the history was really cool,
- 27:04Speaker 1: the food was really cool.
- 27:06Speaker 3: I had a goal to smoke sig.
- 27:08Speaker 1: With an Italian man and then I smoked one with
- 27:11Speaker 1: a guy who worked on my ferry when I first
- 27:13Speaker 1: got to like como on the front of the boat.
- 27:15Speaker 3: But then I found out he was Albanian.
- 27:16Speaker 1: So I was like I have to try again. Yeah,
- 27:20Speaker 1: so then I smoked with another guy. I got on
- 27:23Speaker 1: a boat in Lake Como by myself, which was just
- 27:25Speaker 1: like me and this one guy, this old guy driving
- 27:28Speaker 1: and that was really funny. And then I was like, bro,
- 27:30Speaker 1: you can like smoke SIGs, you can swim, like this
- 27:32Speaker 1: is not formal. I just booked this like to honor
- 27:34Speaker 1: my grandma. And so he was like hell yeah. So
- 27:36Speaker 1: we both jumped in the water and had a day.
- 27:39Speaker 1: He was fun time. And I'm trying to think of
- 27:43Speaker 1: anything else. Obviously, Like the food was good. I will say,
- 27:45Speaker 1: like the Northern Italy food is like mountain food, so
- 27:48Speaker 1: it's not what you would think.
- 27:49Speaker 3: It's a lot of like heavy like fondue.
- 27:52Speaker 1: In casserole and like ok, like wild game oh yeah,
- 27:57Speaker 1: and like during a heat wave like bueno noa. Yeah,
- 28:04Speaker 1: it was really bad. I'm trying to think of anything
- 28:07Speaker 1: else if anything comes up.
- 28:08Speaker 2: So you enjoyed solo traveling and would you do it again?
- 28:12Speaker 1: Yes? I think that I would. And I had a
- 28:14Speaker 1: lot of friends who were like would have come if
- 28:17Speaker 1: they weren't like one of them was pregnant, one of
- 28:19Speaker 1: them had her daughter's birthday.
- 28:20Speaker 3: But like I have friends who would have met me,
- 28:22Speaker 3: I would solo travel again.
- 28:24Speaker 1: But I still do think that there are people that
- 28:26Speaker 1: I like to travel with and like share things with.
- 28:30Speaker 3: It's just how I prefer it.
- 28:31Speaker 1: I know a lot of people feel like they don't
- 28:34Speaker 1: they can decide what they want to do and whatever.
- 28:35Speaker 1: But I think the people that I would want to
- 28:38Speaker 1: travel with, I feel like I hope we'd both say
- 28:39Speaker 1: like things we wanted to do and just like do
- 28:41Speaker 1: them together. I don't know, but yeah, I really liked it.
- 28:43Speaker 1: I felt really accomplished. And also it's so easy to
- 28:46Speaker 1: meet people, especially if like even if someone's just like
- 28:49Speaker 1: speaking English, like the Brits and US are friends, like
- 28:52Speaker 1: just someone speaking English like. Also, the people in Italy
- 28:55Speaker 1: are so nice and so happy to have us there, and.
- 28:58Speaker 2: That's crazy that they're right next to France and they
- 29:00Speaker 2: hate us.
- 29:01Speaker 3: France hates us.
- 29:02Speaker 1: I was in this jewelry shop and she thought I
- 29:05Speaker 1: was French because I like said hi in French and
- 29:08Speaker 1: then she responded, and I was looking at things. Belle
- 29:11Speaker 1: and I were I was trying to buy Bella something.
- 29:13Speaker 1: I was like touching things because I was like, do
- 29:14Speaker 1: you want to try this? Do you want to try this?
- 29:15Speaker 1: You want me to buy this because Belle is a
- 29:16Speaker 1: weirdo and she's like, I want you to have to
- 29:17Speaker 1: buy me. I'm like, bitch, I'm offering anyways. Then I
- 29:22Speaker 1: asked a question in English, and when she found out
- 29:24Speaker 1: I was American, she said, you don't have to touch everything. Oh,
- 29:28Speaker 1: And I was like, I've been touching stuff this whole time.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Now you have a problem, and now you have a
- 29:32Speaker 1: problem with it. And I shouldn't have bought something from her.
- 29:35Speaker 1: But like they were very rare, like I don't know,
- 29:38Speaker 1: I've never seen the earrings like that, so catting hand room.
- 29:41Speaker 1: They don't like us, and nobody likes the French, like
- 29:43Speaker 1: when I was in Greece, like everyone was like laughing
- 29:45Speaker 1: about how much nobody likes the French and the French
- 29:47Speaker 1: isn't like us. But yeah, I would do it. I
- 29:48Speaker 1: felt really accomplished. It wasn't lonely at all. I never
- 29:52Speaker 1: really felt like, oh shit. I mean there were obviously
- 29:55Speaker 1: moments where it's like, oh, you know, I wonder what's
- 29:57Speaker 1: going on. But Italy's a very safe country. And they
- 30:02Speaker 1: say Milan is like the most unsafe city in Italy.
- 30:04Speaker 1: I think it's just a big city. I think that
- 30:06Speaker 1: people just need to know how to navigate any big city.
- 30:10Speaker 1: I felt like it was completely safe, and yeah, I
- 30:13Speaker 1: think it's a good place to solo travel.
- 30:16Speaker 3: That I was most.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Worried about the direction of it, all the directions, because
- 30:19Speaker 1: you know, I don't like subscribe to that. Yeah, so
- 30:23Speaker 1: I was nervous about like public transit and stuff. But yeah,
- 30:26Speaker 1: I would highly recommend. And like, the feeling I had
- 30:29Speaker 1: now was taken away very quickly when I came back.
- 30:32Speaker 3: But the feeling I had.
- 30:32Speaker 1: When I returned was like so like I just was
- 30:36Speaker 1: so happy and like felt so accomplished and just like
- 30:39Speaker 1: something that you planned from the beginning and then you
- 30:41Speaker 1: actually didn't fuck anything up and yeah, and then you
- 30:44Speaker 1: did it and I don't know, you saw a bunch
- 30:47Speaker 1: of shit. And like when I'm hungover in Italy, like
- 30:49Speaker 1: I get on a train and go to another city,
- 30:50Speaker 1: like when I'm hungover in Chicago, like I rat all
- 30:53Speaker 1: day and I'm like crying.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Yeah, So yeah, Italy Kalin was wild.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Maybe we can talk about something I almost got into
- 31:01Speaker 1: on the next episode.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'll.
- 31:06Speaker 1: Write it down right now, because I was a wild lord.
- 31:09Speaker 3: No, I'll forget it was a wild girl. Okay, you
- 31:11Speaker 3: can do like a quick top five.
- 31:15Speaker 1: I might just do things that they like do there
- 31:17Speaker 1: that I think are good or make sense or things
- 31:19Speaker 1: I liked for mine. Okay, and we can just alternate.
- 31:22Speaker 1: So you want to go first.
- 31:23Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I gotta get my list. I have to
- 31:27Speaker 2: find it.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Try to think of anything else. I did often think
- 31:30Speaker 3: like Jason would really like this, or I wonder So
- 31:33Speaker 3: that's when you're like, I hate everything. I hate traveling.
- 31:38Speaker 1: I'm like sad because sometimes I'm like you would think
- 31:40Speaker 1: this is hysterical.
- 31:41Speaker 2: Well I sort of like I like, like when we
- 31:45Speaker 2: went to Turks, like it was like exciting for me.
- 31:47Speaker 2: I know, I'd never been there and I had never
- 31:50Speaker 2: experienced it either, But I get excited when like people
- 31:53Speaker 2: i'm with get excited and yeah that, yeah, is like
- 31:58Speaker 2: cool for.
- 31:58Speaker 1: Me, you know, Like I don't know, because I like
- 32:01Speaker 1: to chill and I carved out time to chill for sure.
- 32:04Speaker 1: But there were some things like I don't just being
- 32:06Speaker 1: in a city that's so old that their royal family
- 32:09Speaker 1: is still buried like on still to the middle of
- 32:10Speaker 1: town square. I don't know. I just like, like we're
- 32:13Speaker 1: really in this bitch, you're in history, but yeah, okay,
- 32:16Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 32:17Speaker 2: So my first one is more of a feeling, I guess,
- 32:20Speaker 2: and I experienced the esjay. I experience it every Monday,
- 32:24Speaker 2: and it's looking at your lawn after you cut it.
- 32:28Speaker 2: It's a beautiful feeling of accomplishment and the beautiful lines
- 32:32Speaker 2: and like everything. I'm like, wow, I fucking did that. Yeah,
- 32:35Speaker 2: And I don't. I don't feel accomplished like that very much,
- 32:41Speaker 2: but like when I'm like, oh, like I love when
- 32:44Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, that's done. Yeah, you know, like cause
- 32:47Speaker 2: I I'm sure I'm sort of like shifting my thinking
- 32:50Speaker 2: in life to like, if I know I have to
- 32:52Speaker 2: do something, I'm like, oh, I keep like sort of
- 32:53Speaker 2: in my personal life, I sort of keep like pushing
- 32:56Speaker 2: it and like procrastinating. But now I like tend to
- 32:59Speaker 2: think like, oh, if I do it now, I'm gonna
- 33:01Speaker 2: feel so much better afterwards. And so that's why I'm like,
- 33:06Speaker 2: you know, Okay, it was gonna wait till three o'clock
- 33:07Speaker 2: yesterday to cut the grass, but you know what, I
- 33:09Speaker 2: have some time right now. It's one let me do it.
- 33:11Speaker 2: And then I had my afternoon like it was beautiful.
- 33:15Speaker 1: So I've never finished a task, like, but I did
- 33:20Speaker 1: shout out to our girl, missic Mikayla her know your
- 33:23Speaker 1: Aura podcast. She was doing like tips or like advice
- 33:27Speaker 1: from each of the Aura colors, and well, I am Indigo,
- 33:32Speaker 1: which is like one thing. I'm also yellow, and I
- 33:35Speaker 1: think you yellow would be one of your colors. And
- 33:38Speaker 1: like the way that A yellow or a put it
- 33:40Speaker 1: for me, which shifted my thinking is do yourself a
- 33:45Speaker 1: tomorrow favor?
- 33:46Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're doing something for yourself.
- 33:48Speaker 1: So like if I'm like I don't really getting up
- 33:50Speaker 1: and like getting my clothes out or whatever for work,
- 33:53Speaker 1: it's like no, like care for yourself and like dorrow.
- 33:56Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like you tomorrow be grateful that you did this.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I like a tomorrow favor.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I like how she put that. That's
- 34:06Speaker 2: that's that is so.
- 34:07Speaker 1: Real and like that changed my thinking because it's like yeah,
- 34:10Speaker 1: if someone's like get it, don't now or you don't
- 34:11Speaker 1: have to do it later, like that didn't land for me, you.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Know, no, but like yeah, it's more like I guess
- 34:15Speaker 2: you could call it like a selfish thing, but it's like, Okay,
- 34:17Speaker 2: I'm gonna feel so much better when this is done.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Yeah, And like scientifically completing a task is something that
- 34:25Speaker 1: is like it helps with your mental health. Oh yeah, okay,
- 34:32Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do things. They do differently in Italy
- 34:35Speaker 1: and like one.
- 34:36Speaker 5: Thing or place that I was obsessed with, Okay, okay.
- 34:47Speaker 1: So obviously my number one thing that this makes sense
- 34:51Speaker 1: there is they everything is real food. Uh No, I
- 34:56Speaker 1: mean I'm sure they have certain things, but a lot
- 34:58Speaker 1: of the things with preservative is conservatives are banned. Uh
- 35:02Speaker 1: They even have like real food at the gas stations there,
- 35:06Speaker 1: like a bomb ass sandwich, like a whole ass deli counter.
- 35:10Speaker 3: They don't even have diet coke there.
- 35:12Speaker 1: So for everyone in my life wants to argue with
- 35:14Speaker 1: me that it's better for you, the only thing that
- 35:17Speaker 1: it's better for you on is calories asport team is
- 35:19Speaker 1: bad for you, so bad that they don't even have it.
- 35:23Speaker 1: In Italy they have coke zero and they have regular
- 35:29Speaker 1: And want to know the first full sentence I learned
- 35:33Speaker 1: vorat unavikiata de coca cola cone giacho e lem.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Like that that's how you co with ice and a lemon.
- 35:47Speaker 1: And a lemon. Yeah, they always ask if you want
- 35:49Speaker 1: a lemon, but it's traditional or zero and ice isn't
- 35:53Speaker 1: like really a big thing there, so you have to
- 35:55Speaker 1: simplace don't have ice and you have to ask for it.
- 35:57Speaker 3: The George Cloudy man got like offended when I asked.
- 36:01Speaker 1: For giacho in my water and he said, you sure,
- 36:03Speaker 1: it's really cold and I was like, okay, I'll just
- 36:05Speaker 1: take it like that.
- 36:06Speaker 2: I'm scared of you.
- 36:07Speaker 1: I'm scared of you. And a place, oh, Lake Garda.
- 36:13Speaker 3: So that's gonna be a place that I pick.
- 36:14Speaker 1: A lot of people know Lake Como, but not a
- 36:17Speaker 1: lot of people know about Lake Garda. It's also northern
- 36:19Speaker 1: and they have really beautiful beaches, including one called Jamaican
- 36:22Speaker 1: Beach and I was like, why the hell is it
- 36:24Speaker 1: called that? And they were like, because it looks like
- 36:25Speaker 1: Jamaica And I'm like, but this is Italy, Like why
- 36:28Speaker 1: like you know what I mean? No, but like look
- 36:31Speaker 1: at how pretty like pretty the water is and stuff.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Oh wow, and wait let me, Oh here's my friends.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Oh what he's hot?
- 36:43Speaker 1: Oh you would you would think he's hot for sure,
- 36:46Speaker 1: but then look you're just like walking there's a fucking
- 36:50Speaker 1: but yeah, I will say the water is like way prettier.
- 36:55Speaker 1: I gotta show you this girl with her dog because like,
- 36:56Speaker 1: this was the cutest thing ever. I know a lot
- 37:01Speaker 1: of them don't have leashes, and kanie is how you
- 37:05Speaker 1: say dog dog kandie kannie. Oh, and people who are
- 37:11Speaker 1: gluten free there or have to be gluten free in
- 37:13Speaker 1: America can eat gluten there so that no sulfates in
- 37:16Speaker 1: the wine, so no hangovers anyways.
- 37:19Speaker 2: Okay, okay um, I guess I'll do food. It has
- 37:25Speaker 2: returned to Taco Bell. The case of Rito is back
- 37:27Speaker 2: and it is everything. The only thing is I don't
- 37:31Speaker 2: ever get it with beef. I always have to switch
- 37:33Speaker 2: out for chicken. And they used to have a different chicken,
- 37:36Speaker 2: a shredded chicken. They don't have that anymore. They don't
- 37:39Speaker 2: they have chicken or they have slow roasted chicken shredded chicken,
- 37:44Speaker 2: so I have to get the regular chicken. It's not
- 37:47Speaker 2: like as top tier as it was, but it'll do.
- 37:51Speaker 2: So I'm just happy that it's back and you can
- 37:53Speaker 2: order on the app.
- 37:55Speaker 1: I do love my Taco bellm Okay.
- 37:59Speaker 3: Things that just makes sense.
- 38:00Speaker 1: In Italy, caps are attached to water bottles because they
- 38:03Speaker 1: actually care about the environment, and it may be annoying
- 38:08Speaker 1: before you figure out why but you literally like it
- 38:13Speaker 1: stays attached, so you just like open a little bit
- 38:15Speaker 1: and it stays on your thing, and that minimizes the
- 38:17Speaker 1: amount of like the caps that are everywhere.
- 38:20Speaker 3: Now, I will say it is very weird.
- 38:21Speaker 1: That, like even though they have good water there, Like
- 38:25Speaker 1: if you order water at a restaurant, it's never tap
- 38:28Speaker 1: like bottles you'll always get charged for, like like water
- 38:31Speaker 1: sometimes isn't free. You're ordering a bottle and then you
- 38:33Speaker 1: can like take it home. So I don't understand, like
- 38:35Speaker 1: that's kind of counterintuitive to me. But the caps are
- 38:39Speaker 1: not falling off, yes, and they have and a lot
- 38:43Speaker 1: of people here would hate this. But they have recycling
- 38:46Speaker 1: systems and each day is like a different like a
- 38:50Speaker 1: plastic a paper.
- 38:53Speaker 3: Like food.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Well, we put your garbage out like like you do here.
- 38:57Speaker 1: Yes, on a certain day, but it'll be like, you know,
- 39:01Speaker 1: we have to put these gray bins out for tomorrow,
- 39:04Speaker 1: and so you do have to sort your your stuff,
- 39:07Speaker 1: but obviously it's you know, for the greater good, which
- 39:10Speaker 1: just seems like something they care about, even though.
- 39:15Speaker 5: A lot of other places don't like here.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and then another place I love. Let me see,
- 39:22Speaker 1: so I love the old churches, and I mean, yeah,
- 39:30Speaker 1: I'll just like recommend Verona. It wasn't on my radar
- 39:33Speaker 1: at all, but Tatiana's parents shout out told me, like,
- 39:35Speaker 1: I have to go there, do a day trip there.
- 39:37Speaker 1: I was looking at all the places I could go,
- 39:41Speaker 1: and they recommended it. And it's just like there's a
- 39:44Speaker 1: lot of history. I'm a Shakespeare nerd, so like Romeo
- 39:48Speaker 1: and Juliette was set there, even though like people think
- 39:50Speaker 1: it really happened. They go to the balcony and they
- 39:51Speaker 1: have to touch Juliet's left boob, but it's the whole thing.
- 39:54Speaker 1: And then I told my new friend, the guy and
- 39:55Speaker 1: the couple to touch the other boob because I was
- 39:57Speaker 1: talking about looking at it and he was talking about
- 40:00Speaker 1: Juliette's perspective and now he thinks he has bad luck
- 40:02Speaker 1: because he ride the wrong boom.
- 40:04Speaker 3: No, but yeah, shout out of Verona.
- 40:07Speaker 1: And there was a Michelin star restaurant that I ate
- 40:10Speaker 1: there for under one hundred dollars.
- 40:12Speaker 4: Wow, so exactly, Hell, yeah, that's that's hard to come by. Yeah,
- 40:21Speaker 4: I don't really have a segue for that.
- 40:23Speaker 2: I found a new show that I'm obsessed with. It's
- 40:26Speaker 2: called of course it's about jail. It's called one hundred
- 40:29Speaker 2: and twenty hours Behind Bars.
- 40:33Speaker 1: What's it about?
- 40:36Speaker 2: But what I like it. It's not one of those
- 40:37Speaker 2: where they put like fake people in the jail. It's
- 40:39Speaker 2: just literally they send a camera crew in to like
- 40:42Speaker 2: video for one hundred and twenty hours.
- 40:44Speaker 1: You're acting like, I know, what do you mean about
- 40:46Speaker 1: like fake people in the jail?
- 40:48Speaker 2: Like how they do like the not the first forty
- 40:50Speaker 2: eight I forget what show, what the name of the
- 40:53Speaker 2: show is, but they like put undercover prisoners in a
- 40:59Speaker 2: jail for like a certain amount of time. But like
- 41:02Speaker 2: those are the people that the cameras are following and
- 41:04Speaker 2: like whatever really recording and like that they're supposed to
- 41:07Speaker 2: like getting gray sheet graciated into like the prisoner group
- 41:12Speaker 2: to like report back about what they found or so
- 41:15Speaker 2: they're not actual criminals. They're like just real people off
- 41:17Speaker 2: the street. But they like whatever this is not that,
- 41:19Speaker 2: this is like they just video whatever, Like they just
- 41:24Speaker 2: whatever happened in the jail for these one hundred and
- 41:25Speaker 2: twenty hours, Like that's what they do when they compile
- 41:28Speaker 2: a show or whatever. But the one I watched last
- 41:31Speaker 2: night was this like really small town in Mississippi, and
- 41:35Speaker 2: like the guy was the guy was in there for
- 41:37Speaker 2: a while and his while he was in there, his
- 41:41Speaker 2: dad and his sister both got arrested and came to
- 41:44Speaker 2: the jail at the same time. And they're like trying
- 41:48Speaker 2: to talk in between like cellss stuff, and they were like,
- 41:51Speaker 2: I don't know, like big and jail is just kind
- 41:53Speaker 2: of like, oh well, like when do I get like
- 41:55Speaker 2: let out? You know, Like it wasn't like that big
- 41:57Speaker 2: of a dealer or whatever, but it was really fun.
- 42:00Speaker 2: It was on Discovery I think it is, but like
- 42:04Speaker 2: Discovery Life for one of those like weird channels, but
- 42:07Speaker 2: twenty hours behind bars if you like jail.
- 42:10Speaker 1: I was arrested when I was taken to jail in
- 42:14Speaker 1: college for a very dumb reason. We were drinking under age,
- 42:17Speaker 1: like in a cabin in our sweatpants, and like a
- 42:19Speaker 1: fucking idiot guy and a frat got arrested for something else,
- 42:22Speaker 1: and like said where we all were staying, like the
- 42:26Speaker 1: freaking cops and then the street the state troopers showed up.
- 42:29Speaker 1: It was like they had something to prove because it
- 42:30Speaker 1: was a small town in northern Michigan. Anyways, we get
- 42:33Speaker 1: to jail, it's all of my friends in a cell
- 42:35Speaker 1: except for shout out to who shall not be named,
- 42:38Speaker 1: who were like resisting arrest in a violent way.
- 42:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:42Speaker 1: One person through their tampon at a cop because they
- 42:46Speaker 1: asked to change it and like, yeah, well it got dropped.
- 42:50Speaker 1: And another one, my guy friend was pounding on like
- 42:54Speaker 1: the cell doors, like he was absolutely yeah, it was
- 42:56Speaker 1: just like and so he had to be they were
- 42:58Speaker 1: in their like own they they put him in the chair.
- 43:01Speaker 3: He was in a different No, yeah, he was in
- 43:02Speaker 3: a different cell. We could like hear him.
- 43:04Speaker 1: Anyways, So my friends and I were all in the
- 43:06Speaker 1: same cul except for like and it was a room
- 43:09Speaker 1: with like a toilet in there and everything, and there
- 43:11Speaker 1: was one lady that we didn't know. And when we
- 43:13Speaker 1: got in there, we were all hammer. We were having
- 43:14Speaker 1: a great time. Like I was like doing push ups.
- 43:16Speaker 1: I mooned the camera and I was having so much fun.
- 43:18Speaker 3: My friend and I were.
- 43:19Speaker 1: Cuddling on a mat. We got yelled at for that,
- 43:21Speaker 1: they said one girl per Matt. I was like, why
- 43:23Speaker 1: are you getting turned on? Anyways, this lady looks up
- 43:27Speaker 1: at us and she goes, my brother's gonna kill me,
- 43:29Speaker 1: And we're like why is that.
- 43:31Speaker 3: And she's like he's a cop at this.
- 43:32Speaker 1: Station, Like why in here? And she's like, well, they
- 43:36Speaker 1: thought I was drunk driving, but I wasn't. They found
- 43:38Speaker 1: my car on the side of the road and I'm like, girl,
- 43:42Speaker 1: I'm like, well your brother and have him get us out.
- 43:44Speaker 1: But my brother's going to kill me. And I'm like,
- 43:46Speaker 1: yeah he is. Okay, what did you say? What it
- 43:49Speaker 1: was on that show?
- 43:51Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like Discovery.
- 43:53Speaker 1: My god, you watched a lot of Discovery.
- 43:55Speaker 2: I know Discovery, Yeah, just regular Discovery. Okay, yeah.
- 44:05Speaker 1: Something else that I like In some instances, they like
- 44:09Speaker 1: you have to pay to use a bathroom, but it's
- 44:11Speaker 1: only like a quarter, And I think that it keeps
- 44:15Speaker 1: the public restrooms not to be smeared in ship because
- 44:18Speaker 1: again in America, like no one can be trusted. People
- 44:21Speaker 1: are doing drugs in there. People are like smearing poop
- 44:24Speaker 1: all over. I don't understand. People are pissing everywhere, And
- 44:27Speaker 1: I feel like that might be a step to like
- 44:29Speaker 1: keep things cleaner or something. I don't know, but maybe not.
- 44:32Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't want people to have to
- 44:34Speaker 1: pay to use the bathroom, but it's just sometimes they
- 44:36Speaker 1: were a lot cleaner was.
- 44:37Speaker 2: Actually talking about this with a coworker during Lallapalooza. Why
- 44:39Speaker 2: they don't have like bathroom just bathroom places like located
- 44:44Speaker 2: in busy areas where you swipe your card to get it.
- 44:49Speaker 1: I would pay to use and you get a lot
- 44:52Speaker 1: of money out of me.
- 44:53Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I would pay the subscription.
- 44:55Speaker 1: Yeah, and yeah my my next place I already mentioned,
- 45:00Speaker 1: but in like Como Tremezzo, just like my favorite thing
- 45:05Speaker 1: to do and I wish I could still do it
- 45:06Speaker 1: is like going to that hotel. It's like four stories
- 45:09Speaker 1: and that's where I went into the wrong bathroom because
- 45:11Speaker 1: I was wearing my Bloomers and like the guy and
- 45:13Speaker 1: the sign was wearing Bloomers.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Who is it?
- 45:20Speaker 3: But I just like, I don't know.
- 45:22Speaker 1: It's the coolest, most intricate, beautiful, like think of like
- 45:25Speaker 1: a palace. And then just like the outdoor era is
- 45:28Speaker 1: just so chic and cool and like sitting on the
- 45:30Speaker 1: water having a cocktail and then the floating pools there
- 45:35Speaker 1: and like Como's there and like people are so rich
- 45:39Speaker 1: around you and I'm like, oh, wow, you're rich. And
- 45:42Speaker 1: then I made other friends there when these American girls
- 45:44Speaker 1: were like do you speak English? Like next to me
- 45:46Speaker 1: and they're from California shout at them, but I was like, girls, please,
- 45:48Speaker 1: you're embarrassing me, right, But yeah, it was. It was
- 45:52Speaker 1: very cool to see the Grand Hotel there.
- 45:55Speaker 2: Very cool. My next one is a content creator that
- 45:58Speaker 2: I love his He's actually a live streamer. His name
- 46:02Speaker 2: is h T. Hayes h a Ze, but he is
- 46:07Speaker 2: like the super gifted musician and he does twitch live
- 46:11Speaker 2: streams reacting to music, and he started reacting to like
- 46:16Speaker 2: pop music, And what is so cool about him is
- 46:20Speaker 2: he will listen and he'll hear a vocal or he'll
- 46:22Speaker 2: hear he's really like instrumentally just like gifted. Like he'll
- 46:27Speaker 2: he was listening to I Forget what Taylor Swift song
- 46:34Speaker 2: and he the first time he listened to it and
- 46:37Speaker 2: he heard it the first time. Oh it was a
- 46:38Speaker 2: Liver Adrigo song and it was stupid song and he
- 46:41Speaker 2: like couldn't like get over this like guitar riffs, so
- 46:43Speaker 2: he literally like pull pushed his chair back, grabbed his
- 46:46Speaker 2: guitar and played that exact rift after hearing it one time,
- 46:49Speaker 2: like on his guitar like live. But like it's just
- 46:53Speaker 2: like it's so crazy when people like I am not
- 46:55Speaker 2: musically inclined or gifted at all, but I love music.
- 46:59Speaker 2: But I just love when people like share their talents
- 47:01Speaker 2: like that and are like that insanely talented that you
- 47:04Speaker 2: can hear song once and like know how to play it. Yeah,
- 47:06Speaker 2: like so dope, and his clips are all over there's
- 47:09Speaker 2: like tons of like fan pages for him that clip,
- 47:13Speaker 2: and like stuff goes super viral, but it's each t
- 47:16Speaker 2: Hayes is his name. He's so so cool.
- 47:19Speaker 3: Okay, so so cool, Okay.
- 47:22Speaker 1: Something that is interesting but also seems more efficient is
- 47:26Speaker 1: when a waiter comes up, everyone orders food and then
- 47:29Speaker 1: you order your.
- 47:30Speaker 3: Drinks directly after.
- 47:32Speaker 1: So the first time that that happened, I was tripping
- 47:34Speaker 1: out because I needed a cocktail and I was like, okay, Mark,
- 47:36Speaker 1: I didn't call himuncle Mark what. I was like, Mark,
- 47:38Speaker 1: they're not gonna ask us if we won't one, And
- 47:41Speaker 1: he's like after, oh, so everyone orders their food and
- 47:43Speaker 1: then everyone orders their drinks and then your drinks will
- 47:46Speaker 1: come first, but like there's not the lag time. I
- 47:50Speaker 1: don't know. Also, something interesting, which I don't know if
- 47:53Speaker 1: I love. Sometimes you can't really like walk in places
- 47:55Speaker 1: and if you do walk in somewhere because tip culture
- 47:59Speaker 1: is not necessarily a huge thing there. They act like
- 48:02Speaker 1: you're like an uninvited guest, like if you don't have
- 48:04Speaker 1: a reservation, which is really funny. Even if there's spots everywhere,
- 48:08Speaker 1: I don't even know if I feel like that's more
- 48:11Speaker 1: like that's a better idea or if it was just something.
- 48:14Speaker 3: I observed, right, and let me think the place.
- 48:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that spot, so that that like luxury spot is
- 48:23Speaker 1: like an immersive experience, and I guess they have them
- 48:26Speaker 1: all over. I think it's called like Spot of Wonders
- 48:28Speaker 1: and like each place has like a different vibe. But
- 48:32Speaker 1: you would think it was the coolest thing. I know,
- 48:34Speaker 1: you don't know how to relax, but like, look at
- 48:35Speaker 1: this room. This is like the rain room.
- 48:38Speaker 2: I would love a rain room. Yeah, that looks so cool.
- 48:42Speaker 2: Yeah it's like warm water.
- 48:43Speaker 3: Oh yeah warm.
- 48:45Speaker 1: And then like they'll do a storm and then like
- 48:46Speaker 1: when it storms, when it like so they play this
- 48:49Speaker 1: crazy video.
- 48:50Speaker 2: That's so cool and like wow.
- 48:52Speaker 3: Yeah that's cool.
- 48:54Speaker 1: And then my favorite room, because I think you're also
- 48:56Speaker 1: calm by water. There was a literal other rain room
- 48:58Speaker 1: where it was just like these tape and you just
- 49:01Speaker 1: press a button and like warm rainfalls.
- 49:03Speaker 2: And you knew just lay oh, I would love that, but.
- 49:06Speaker 1: I guess they have them in multiple locutations and having
- 49:09Speaker 1: gone to two, like they were both so different.
- 49:11Speaker 3: But I'm not like a spa person. It's really hard
- 49:14Speaker 3: for me to relax.
- 49:14Speaker 1: In fact, like wine and being underwater are like the
- 49:17Speaker 1: only two things, and it was just like it's a
- 49:20Speaker 1: spa but it's like an immersive experience, so there's so
- 49:22Speaker 1: much to do, see discover.
- 49:25Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, I would love I love like a rain
- 49:29Speaker 2: shower moment, so I feel like you would love it. Okay,
- 49:33Speaker 2: So my last one is music that I've been obsessed
- 49:36Speaker 2: with and I've been really deep dive into Julia michaels My.
- 49:42Speaker 2: I'm like literally like in it. She has made a
- 49:44Speaker 2: choke cald I had no idea like all the I
- 49:46Speaker 2: know that she wrote a lot of songs, but when
- 49:48Speaker 2: I started going through songs that she has written, I
- 49:50Speaker 2: was like, holy shit. So she's written Sorry by Justin Bieber,
- 49:54Speaker 2: Lose You to Love Me, Selena Gomez, hands to myself,
- 49:57Speaker 2: Selena Gomez. She did Taste and Bat with Sabrina Carpenter.
- 50:01Speaker 2: I'm like, these are huge songs. Yeah, but then also
- 50:04Speaker 2: like she's such a gifted right, Yeah, she's rich. She's
- 50:07Speaker 2: such a gift to writer for herself too, and her
- 50:09Speaker 2: songs are so good, and I just feel like she's
- 50:11Speaker 2: like super underappreciated, like in the music industry, and I
- 50:14Speaker 2: want her to have more hits and like on her
- 50:17Speaker 2: own right, because she's like so so talented. But I'm
- 50:20Speaker 2: really into Julian Michaels right now.
- 50:22Speaker 1: Shout out to her. Yeah, yeah, she's been working for
- 50:24Speaker 1: a long time. A lot of people don't know that,
- 50:25Speaker 1: but yes, she has a.
- 50:26Speaker 3: Lot of songs.
- 50:27Speaker 2: Yes.
- 50:27Speaker 1: It was like holy shit, Okay, another thing that just
- 50:30Speaker 1: makes sense and people still buy them. But the cigarettes
- 50:33Speaker 1: have like photos of cancer on them to try and
- 50:37Speaker 1: prevent people, like it'll be tongue cancer, throat, kid.
- 50:40Speaker 3: It's like very graphic.
- 50:42Speaker 1: They did that in Grease too, but like it doesn't
- 50:44Speaker 1: really stop people.
- 50:45Speaker 3: A lot more people are vaping over there.
- 50:47Speaker 1: But I will say I tried a new invention, and
- 50:50Speaker 1: they make these special cigarettes that you can smoke anywhere,
- 50:52Speaker 1: and like you put something on it and then it's
- 50:55Speaker 1: like a little.
- 50:56Speaker 3: Bit better for you.
- 50:56Speaker 1: So it's like probably so bad for you, but of
- 50:58Speaker 1: course they thought of that and just like overall, like
- 51:01Speaker 1: the prioritize, they prioritize like the work life balance like
- 51:07Speaker 1: think it's really not like the dying and being overworked
- 51:11Speaker 1: is like not really something to brag about. There. They're
- 51:15Speaker 1: never in a rush unless they're driving, which you know,
- 51:17Speaker 1: I love you will see a fucking no, not going
- 51:20Speaker 1: five hundred miles an hour around like a mountain. It's crazy.
- 51:25Speaker 1: And just yeah, like walkable cities like somehow like when
- 51:29Speaker 1: you give people more time to spend on their life,
- 51:31Speaker 1: they're spending it hiking, they're spending it walking, they're spending
- 51:34Speaker 1: it with family and friends, They're.
- 51:38Speaker 3: They have universal health care.
- 51:39Speaker 1: But just yeah, like the the culture of everything, the
- 51:42Speaker 1: appartivo of everything. It's just everything is very like we
- 51:45Speaker 1: care about each other, We want to preserve these beautiful ruins.
- 51:49Speaker 3: We want to work together to make this place better.
- 51:51Speaker 1: And you know, the communal felt like a group effort. Yeah,
- 51:57Speaker 1: it was really nice and like I don't give it
- 52:00Speaker 1: shp no, and like I just and like even if
- 52:03Speaker 1: you're on social media there like people aren't in the
- 52:05Speaker 1: comments like go kill yourself.
- 52:07Speaker 3: Like people are you know what I mean.
- 52:08Speaker 1: Like it's just it's really weird like coming back here
- 52:12Speaker 1: was like a trip because like that couple was on
- 52:14Speaker 1: the Empire ste building and like everyone was like I
- 52:17Speaker 1: read a comment about like Taylor Swift walking and her
- 52:20Speaker 1: her security trying to not get photographers to take a
- 52:22Speaker 1: picture up her dress, and then I saw a comment
- 52:24Speaker 1: that was like, well she shouldn't wear such a short dress,
- 52:26Speaker 1: and I was like, where am I? Like? I hate
- 52:29Speaker 1: it here. So that was a little chaotic and not
- 52:32Speaker 1: as concise as I wanted it to be. But if
- 52:34Speaker 1: anyone has questions or like needs a push to solo travel,
- 52:38Speaker 1: hit me up because I'm happy to help.
- 52:40Speaker 3: So let's do it.
- 52:41Speaker 2: Ball, Do you have a crash.
- 52:43Speaker 1: Out carash out? Yeah, Like you can't like really use
- 52:50Speaker 1: dryers there, which I do love hang drying everything, but
- 52:52Speaker 1: if you need something in a pinch, like it's it's
- 52:54Speaker 1: a it like sucks the water out if you do
- 52:58Speaker 1: have a dryer, and then like it takes for so
- 53:00Speaker 1: like usually hang dry, which I do prefer. And not
- 53:03Speaker 1: a lot of places have a c and a lot
- 53:07Speaker 1: of rooms and things are smaller. So I would say
- 53:10Speaker 1: getting back to America, I was ready to like crank
- 53:13Speaker 1: the ac dry things, and.
- 53:18Speaker 3: I don't know like turn on light switches.
- 53:20Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 53:23Speaker 2: My crashout has to be when your phone starts reaching
- 53:25Speaker 2: the end of its life. So I'm at that point
- 53:28Speaker 2: right now. My phone is usually now. I get up
- 53:30Speaker 2: at three thirty every morning, so my phone is usually
- 53:32Speaker 2: dead by eleven am or almost dead. So I'm recharging
- 53:36Speaker 2: it now. I'm at the point where if I have
- 53:40Speaker 2: a charge in my car, it will freeze and not work,
- 53:44Speaker 2: and I have so I have to unplug it in
- 53:46Speaker 2: order for it to like cool down. I guess to like,
- 53:49Speaker 2: and I just get mad because I don't want to.
- 53:52Speaker 2: I hate the idea of getting a new phone, but like,
- 53:54Speaker 2: it's time. I have an iPhone twelve, Like I need
- 53:55Speaker 2: to make the commitment. But I hate when technology doesn't
- 54:00Speaker 2: fucking work. It pisses me off.
- 54:02Speaker 1: Same. Oh yeah, I just got a new phone and
- 54:06Speaker 1: that's a whole other thing.
- 54:07Speaker 2: But do it yep, Okay, bye bye
