We're in Abu Dhabi, that's where we're filming the pod right now. We're kinda, I'm fully on Abu Dhabi time. You think you've adjusted? I've adjusted fully and we go back to New York tomorrow. What?
Starting point is 00:02:13 This is outrageous. If that got my eye, that was the corner, I would have been blind. I would have been blind in Abu Dhabi, I could never leave. Oh that's funny. We're in Abu Dhabi. Yes, we are and it's been a blast. We came from Dubai We'll talk about it in BFF's corner, but that's where we are in this beautiful background. Look at this. It does look nice I just asked Josh what sea it was the Arabian Sea the Arabian Sea in the Arabian night. It's pretty awesome BFF's International has been pretty awesome, but uh, we have it. We haven't talked headlines in a while. No, we haven't. Hopefully we're able to keep the headlines in our hands so we can hit them all.
Starting point is 00:02:52 But yeah, Super Bowl, 59. Eagles win. I had the Eagles. You know what? OK, the Eagles winning. We know why I didn't want the Eagles to win. And it kind of saddens me because I wanted to root for the Eagles because I do, okay, one, I was rooting for the Chiefs because Taylor Swift's boyfriend
Starting point is 00:03:10 is on the Chiefs, but Taylor Swift loves the Eagles. Travis Kelsey is his name, by the way. He's like- Oh, Travis Kelsey. He is his own person. I know he is, I know, but I'm not really into football. So I was basing it off of Taylor Swift. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:20 But Taylor Swift also is the biggest Eagles fan in the world. So it was hard for me to kind of root for the Chiefs one because I low key hate the Chiefs Oh my god, things are flying around over there Yeah, this is wild and so I was a little I was it was hard for me to root for the Chiefs And then when the Eagles won I wanted to be happy But I couldn't because I knew that one person was really happy and I you know, I'm spiteful. Yeah, but It's okay for people to be happy. I guess right? No. Yeah, you're right. Fuck happiness. No, no happiness. But you were pumped up. We left the day of the Super Bowl.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Yes, we did. I mean we didn't get to watch it besides like on the plane. But it's pretty cool to get to watch it on the plane. Like I went to the... On Emirates flights they have like bars. They have like a bar in the back. Did you go to the bar at all? I never left my seat. Ah, that's a mistake. You gotta do it on the way back. Okay. You gotta do it on the way back. Were you getting wasted? I had a couple drinks. Oh really? Yeah. I didn't know you were having fun on the flight. Oh yeah I probably had a good like five drinks on the flight. What? Yeah it was good it was good and they'd
Starting point is 00:04:16 make whatever you wanted like it was pretty sweet had a couple whiskey sours which is like my new drink. It is your new thing. Yeah I like them I like them. That's a very old man of you. Yeah you know I'm maturing. Yeah you're growing up. So you were on the flight watching it at the back of the bar getting wasted with the boys? Yeah me and Chris we were just back there watching the game. It was pretty cool. I mean the only thing that I did enjoy is that we didn't get to see any of the commercials. I know that's the best part of the Super Bowl for me. It is a great part of the Super Bowl. It is a great part of the Super Bowl. I didn't get to see any of
Starting point is 00:04:42 five Alex Earls Super Bowl commercials. Yeah, talk about getting paid. Talk about let's go Alex Earl. Five Super Bowl commercials? I wonder what the record is for the most appearances in Super Bowl commercials. That's gotta be the most from anyone. Like even like- That's what I'm thinking. Like, actor. Class A celebrities. Yeah, yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:05:03 Because I wonder also though, if like you're an actor, you're charging a little bit more for a Super Bowl commercial than she is. I don't know. Well, that's the thing with, well yeah. I guess I always think about the halftime show at the Super Bowl where they don't get paid at all. Yes. But obviously Super Bowl commercials they get paid.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah, it's like $8 million for a 30 second slot or like a minute slot. So they pay. So I wonder when they have talent come in if they even pay the talent or they just do it for exposure. I would do it for free. I think it depends on the level, but I'm sure they're getting paid. Yeah. They gotta have the fee at least.
Starting point is 00:05:34 At least, yeah, maybe like, I don't know. What would you think? People are always so curious about money. What would you think this like Alex Earl would be getting paid for one of those commercials? Like, are we talking like the Carl's Jr? The Poppy. Are we talking like the Carl's Jr.? Uh, the Poppy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:48 She was like a cameo, right? I could see it being like six figures. Like low six figure side. What does that mean? Like a hundred, two hundred in that area. Alright, yeah probably right? Alex, how much did you make? Let us know.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I'm really happy for her. That is Yeah, Alex. Your Super Bowl commercials. Let us know. Let us know. I'm really happy for her. That is friggin' awesome. She deserves it all. We didn't have any Super Bowl commercials this year. Not this year. No. Not this year.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Not this year. We just had people that didn't show up for our show this year really is what happened. Yeah. Frickin' Braxton. Barrios. Oh, Braxton. Okay, I actually want to say something. So I guess we'll talk about it a little bit on BFF's Corner, but we can bring it into
Starting point is 00:06:23 this because we're talking about Braxton. The last night of the Super Bowl where we stayed, I stayed out until, I'm going to say 6 a.m. and I ended up going to probably the craziest party I'd ever been to in my whole entire life. I kind of told you a little bit about it. And I ended up with Alex and Braxton and Sally and Zaza and Braxton, okay, I don't really see much of him on social
Starting point is 00:06:46 media he is the funniest he's awesome like I the nicest funniest him and Alex like I know they're cute on social media and stuff but you can't really like I don't know see that much into their relationship if they don't get married I'm jumping off this balcony and that's a pretty far draw I would die not if you hit the water. Oh, yeah true I was a diver imagine though your ass just hits that little yellow sharp thing down there Oh my you need to get a cam on that so people can understand that would that would split you right in half Yeah, that would split me right in half. So that would be me if they don't get married man
Starting point is 00:07:16 They are so friggin funny and adorable together I just couldn't it was very refreshing because I see a lot of relationships online and then I hang out with the partners in real life. They're superb. I would say they're you and Gabby level. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I wouldn't say anyone's being Gabby level, but Well, I'm you there. You guys are both adorable couples. No, no, they are they are each other couples. Yeah I like them a lot. I like Braxton a lot. I was just joking around I don't think I know Dave went hard. Did we talk about this? We talk okay, so we talked about this on the last episode but we then hung out
Starting point is 00:07:48 with Braxton after so it kind of seemed like we were actually had beef with Braxton we don't actually have no there's no beef with Braxton but people were clipping it and being like I went golfed with him like the next day Dave has beef with Braxton I mean I am upset that he cancelled I just don't think I just don't look at Braxton as a guy that's going to lie because I don't think he is that worried about his social media status. So I don't think he's like, Ooh, I can't have association, blah, blah, blah. You know what I'm saying? Like I feel like to me that's gotta be more of a PR move. Like he said,
Starting point is 00:08:19 like his PR agency or the brand that brought him out was not communicating. Cause the way he texted me, I'll even like screenshot it maybe throw up like one or two of the text I'm not gonna show you guys a message but the way he texted me he was like are you coming to Super Bowl who would ask somebody if they're coming to Super Bowl if they know you're gonna be on the podcast yeah so that's what I was like this guy would have had to be a genius that's like genius level oh my goodness let me like master manipulator master manipulator which I don't think you which I just't think he is.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Which I just don't, he just gives me good football guy vibes. Football guy like, I don't know about NFL because I don't, NFL guys I guess they're bad, but Braxton is not. He gives me football vibes from like, like I used to date football players in college. They're the nicest. I would always say college girls, stay away from lacrosse players. 100% stay away from lacrosse players. Basketball players are fun.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Not all bad. Football will be your husband. Baseball is OK, too. Stay away from lax players. I mean, I might be generalizing, but I feel like basketball is worse than football. I said they're fun, but they're not your husband. Yeah, yeah, OK.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I understand what you're saying. So I would always say that. And he reminds me of just a just like just a funny little football dude Yeah, so good for them. I guess I'm their biggest fan. No. Yeah, it seems like I have to Couple yeah, they're great. I love them But also talking about Super Bowl commercials, we got to talk about the most insane one of them all we kind of touched on Kanye On the last episode we didn't first of all his commercial didn't come out yet. Did you see it? I I didn't see it. Obviously, like I said, we weren't first of all his commercial didn't come out yet did you see it I I didn't see it obviously like I said we weren't able to watch
Starting point is 00:09:47 commercials I saw like a little like screenshot of him I don't know if that was the commercial but it was like him with like the nitrous oxide was the laughing gas that was the commercial yeah I don't know how that gets put on TV like whether or not my hair is going everywhere in my eyeballs is ridiculous the background looks great I feel like I have to yell through the wind right now I don't know if How do you as like the Super Bowl okay commercial with? Laughing gas in the background. That's the thing like alone
Starting point is 00:10:19 I obviously the worst part about it is the link goes to a t-shirt with that obviously wasn't known yet I think he must have switched it right 100% or cleared the website and just put that t-shirt as soon as the commercial came out yeah but how do you still approve that especially with the what what with all the allegation not allegations with all of it that he was high on nitrogen oxide all the time with the crazy dentist evil dentist we talked about on BFFs before so he was in that office. He's clearly high off his ass.
Starting point is 00:10:47 One I just don't understand why, no money. That's why I always say money is a crazy thing. He paid, I think he said $7 million for that commercial. So they let him do it because he paid the money, which is one crazy. We can't keep giving this man a space to talk. Like it's insane. Whoever approved that is equally, should be equally held as accountable as fucking Kanye for doing it.
Starting point is 00:11:09 But I just don't understand why they gave him the commercial to begin with. Second off, you have to know he's going to pull some crazy shit when it's that, and then it's just a QR code link to his website. Like, obviously. And then it's literally just a link to a Nazi shirt. And we talked about this last episode
Starting point is 00:11:24 where like this has to be the final Kanye. I just think, I just think it's like, he's got to go get admitted into like a mental health facility. Yeah. Like it's a, it's getting to the point where it's like throw him in a rubber room. It's just, it's just like, I don't even like get banish him. I just don't like he, all people always want to say separate the art from the artist and like separate things like that but
Starting point is 00:11:49 he doesn't even make art anymore the only time he's in headlines is for making his wife pussy be on the camera and for being a Nazi yeah it's not so it's like what are we even separating at this point okay drop a banger of an album and then I can say listen to his fucking album you're still piece of shit it's it's just terrible because there's so many kids that follow Kanye right there's so many like kids in grade seven and eight that are listening to this guy and it's just like we're raising this anti-semitic like thing to be like trendy yeah okay and even if kids like
Starting point is 00:12:21 think they're gonna be joking about it like you know how many kids are probably like drawing swastikas now like Which like Kanye did it that always happened in school You'd always see it on the desk or you'd always see it somewhere, but it's like now it's probably what a hundred X Yeah and I feel like we moved past that like the world kind of progressed a little and now Kanye is just bringing it back to Just it's just crazy. I think people forget how impressionable children are and how many kids follow Kanye yeah and like look up to him and like people are always like Kanye's the goat so like a seventh
Starting point is 00:12:50 graders gonna think Kanye's the goat oh he's a Nazi I want to be a Nazi yeah or they even if they don't mean it they don't understand how harmful it is to say those things it's just no it's just crazy yeah it's wild I don't even want to like platform it I don't even want to talk about it but somebody I mean How do you not how do you not and also now we talked about this? I don't even remember how long ago in BFFs that him and Bianca were getting a divorce Yeah, and now they're getting a divorce again. Are they again? She filed for divorce again. Oh At least that's what the headlines say gosh. There's also drama with them So Kim posted we can insert the picture. Kim posted a picture
Starting point is 00:13:26 where she has short hair and she looks like Bianca and she's like in like tiny little clothes and Bianca quote tweeted it and said she trying to be me. So now they're beefing too? Everyone's beefing. Man. It's crazy. The women need to like team up. I know. They got to be aligned. That's what I'm saying. They both were friggin Attacked by this man. They both had to live in the world of Kanye for who knows long which that's got to do I'd love to see like a a scan of the brain before and after being with Kanye Yeah, like that's probably does something It has to. I feel like we're going to fly away. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for real.
Starting point is 00:14:03 It's crazy. Wait, also while we're on the, I have some, I guess I've been scrolling TikTok so much here, but I have more stuff on the, I guess Kylie Jenner, she's in the Kardashian family. And it makes me happy because I'm on the right side of history with this one. So you know how on last episode we talked about, well, the last episode that came out, things that enrage us. And we talked a little bit about Kylie and Timothy. Yeah. And how everyone hates Kylie and Timothy together? Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I have seen before my eyes the internet start to transform and love them. Yeah, they're starting to switch over. They're like, oh they're growing on me, they're perfect together, they're so adorable. Yeah, I saw them in... Told ya. No, take it, get your flowers, keep hyping yourself up. No, but like, told ya. People were just so jealous in the beginning, people just couldn't stand their lover actor Timothy being with someone that isn't up
Starting point is 00:14:47 To their standard, but now they're like, oh my gosh, they're actually adorable together. He loves her Yeah, they're together because they love each other. Oh, yeah a hundred percent I mean I saw them at a Valentine's Day movie outing or something like that adorable I was like, that's like that's a cute little that's a cute little thing to do I think it's got to suck because it's I saw the video and and then like, you know, I don't know if it was exactly a premiere. It doesn't seem like it was like the thing that Timothy had on. Now they were wearing completely different fits. Kylie Jenner was like dressed to the nine and then Timothy was just in like a pink sweat suit I think, but that's Timmy's thing. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. But they like put a spotlight
Starting point is 00:15:21 on them. They're like shouting them out for being there. I wonder how hard it is to try to just go out on an outing with the two of you and then it's like, oh my gosh, it has to become a thing every single time. I know. Imagine every single time you and Gabby always getting videoed. How are you supposed to like never have a mo- you know, like sometimes you're at a dinner and like someone goes on their phone really quick. You could just get a video that's going to be like, oh, look at how unhappy they are. Look at how, you know what I mean? That's gonna suck. And then I also wonder when you're such a, I guess you can attest, I mean I can attest to this too, when you're such like a public couple, if it almost puts more
Starting point is 00:15:55 pressure on you to like always be perfect or like always look happy or always say good things like and not, I don't know, I feel like there's so much pressure when you're a public couple and they did a really good job at being private for a while yeah but now they're stepping out yeah there's time to step out a little bit more I feel like that's why I mean obviously it's hard to relate because they are superstars like the A's of the A-listers but like I feel like that's why me and Gabby are just homebodies now yeah we don't want to go out we don't want to like go to a dinner and then have to like, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:25 see somebody like vitting from across the way or whatever. And it's fine. Like I always say like, you know, chose this, chose this life. So you can't really complain about it. But that's why we just stay home. We order everything in now. Like if we want to do a fancy dinner,
Starting point is 00:16:38 we'll just have a chef or someone just come to the house. Yeah. It just changes things. That's kind of stinky. Yeah, it is. We have like a couple of our spots that are not very popular areas that will go for dinner that we like, or they're little mom and pop shops kind of thing
Starting point is 00:16:53 that not a lot of people go to. And we just never talk about it or never post them. But it is a little bit like, ugh, I want to be able to pop out. Yeah. I guess, well, you guys are at that point. And I feel like this is what Kylie and Timmy, Timmymy like you know I wish I knew I feel like I know him bro I've every I've watched every interview of him ever I I know him. Yeah, he doesn't know me. I know right right
Starting point is 00:17:15 He doesn't know me. I know him, but it's Kylie and Timmy I feel like they got to that point where their relationship is strong enough to step out Hmm, so like you and Gabby are strong enough where you can just go do stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's not like I'm worried about nothing. It just, it does get a little bit, you know. A little annoying. Yeah. I recall. I remember it all too well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:33 It's probably just as annoying going out and being single though, and then every single guy you ever hang out with becomes like a ship. It's so fucking... And everyone thinks like no matter what, you can just hang... Like, you know, there are like times you go out and it's just a platonic hangout. Yeah, well that, actually I wanted to talk about that because I saw a viral video saying
Starting point is 00:17:51 that I'm in love with you. Did you see that one? I didn't see that one. Yeah, you did? No, I don't think I did. Oh, you didn't? It's really pissing me off. And this happens every time I'm single
Starting point is 00:17:59 or every time I like, even with Dave, everyone shit me, everyone shit me with you, everyone shit me with Griffin, everyone shit me with Bryce me everyone shipped me with you everyone shipped me with Griffin everyone shipped me with Bryce everyone shipped me with West like every guy that I'm seen with is like has to be a thing it's like people don't understand that you can have friendships male and female yeah I think the the worst part about it though to me like as an observer isn't so much the like ship it's like the negativity that comes from it. Yeah, it's not just like oh positive comments like oh Griffin or like oh
Starting point is 00:18:31 Davin Brie would be a cute couple or whatever it becomes like a She wants to fuck every dude cheese. You know what I mean, and then that's like Image I'm like guys I literally only I only have our boyfriends like and everyone thinks I want to like I don't want you don't want that image. I'm like guys I literally only I only have our boyfriends like and everyone thinks I want to like I don't know it's really frustrating well I did say at the start of the year you wanted it to be a ho year I know but I it hasn't you know what it has turned into Jay it's turned into I'm celibate right it really has turned into I'm celibate because I made out with Wes one time I made it with one one time and it turned into a fucking nightmare. And I'm like, could you imagine if we actually hooked up
Starting point is 00:19:08 and how much of a nightmare it would be? So I'm gonna stay to myself unless I find a Middle Eastern presenting man and I'm just gonna stay here and become a princess. But that doesn't seem to be happening. Is that what they're called? I don't wanna pronounce it wrong, like a shike. You know what those are?
Starting point is 00:19:20 I, a shike. That's how you say it, right Peyton? They're like the Royalty down here. They'll have like seven wives or whatnot, but they like give you they're like black card You'll have like five hundred thousand dollars a week to spend. Oh, you'll have your own house like your own villa He sets you each up with your own thing. See I don't want that. I want love Oh, you want love for love. So maybe I will not say here. Well, I'm sure you could find love here I was just saying if you want to get a a sheik that's pretty cool. Yeah that's cool too but yeah it's really it's really annoying so my hope year has turned into celibate year. Well
Starting point is 00:19:52 the clothes are matching the statement. I know right. It's very like celibacy clothes. It's very celibacy clothes yeah I'm not getting laid in these that's for sure. There's no way little Bo Peep was getting laid dude dude. No, no, no, no way. Especially not with this hair. And there it goes. There it goes. But yeah, so I'm not in love with anyone. Still trying to love myself. Yeah. And you know.
Starting point is 00:20:13 That's going to take a while. That's going to take a long time. Actually, no, I actually do. And now I'm like, oh my gosh. Every guy that I've talked to, there's been a couple guys that have wanted to date. And I hate everyone, Jay. I'm hating everyone. Yeah, I mean, that's okay.
Starting point is 00:20:28 You don't need to like everyone you meet. No, I know, but I'm like, what the hell? It's probably better to be a little bit more reserved right now. You can't even date anyone anyways until, what is it, June? June 21st. So we got some time. I know. It's just frustrating.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I feel like after coming out such a bad relationship, I'm scared I'm I'm never gonna ever be in a relationship again you're like 25 dude I know but it's that's okay so now you're gonna call it young oh you know I'm just I was just trying to lie to you exactly feel good you are getting there dude all right guys quick commercial break so the Wendy and Wally are the original iconic hey dude styles that are the foundation of comfort so the Wendy is your new best friend in women's casual slip-on shoes. Step into the Wendy and let out a satisfying ah. I've actually been wearing heels so much
Starting point is 00:21:10 that when I put my Hey Dudes on, I feel a sense of relief. They also, they look really cute. I was kind of a hater on Hey Dudes like years ago, and now they're super fashionable, super cute. So the Wall-E is Hey Dudes go to guy shoes, the first of its kind. The Wall-E design invites breathable, chambery, tie-free elastic laces,owy arc support and ultra light weights so
Starting point is 00:21:28 that you can slip them right on so with the most cushion in so ever Wally and Wendy are ridiculously lightweight and bring a ton of fun with mix-and-match materials that complete any outfit so you can shop the Wally and Wendy for everyday casual shoe with so many fun and new bright colors this season it's the perfect shoe hey dudes are unlike anything slip into effortless style and try a pair of hey dudes the official comfort shoe of Arsenal Sports. Has been a little saddening watching you and Gabby be so adorable and me and Peyton are single on Valentine's Day. Yeah, must be tough out there. It actually wasn't that bad. This was my first
Starting point is 00:21:58 Valentine's Day single since I was 16. Wow. Isn't that wild? Yeah how many different Valentine's Day partners were there though? Um first one uh four. It's not that bad over nine years. Yeah those are my boyfriends over nine years. Four over nine? Yeah I would say if I do the math I'm sure I'm like doing it wrong and people are gonna call me out and do all my math on my boyfriends but I had a boyfriend in high school to my sophomore year of college then I had a boyfriend in college to New York and then I had another boyfriend and another boyfriend. That's four. That's four That's four. That's not that bad. That's not that bad. So yeah, I don't want to fuck everyone. I just want to be in love You listen to Drake's new album I did like seven times already do you like it? Yeah, I do is it love or boy shit It is very love or boy shit. Um, I mean, I like party next door as well. So I was excited for it. Give me a hugs a banger
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, where my hug at guy? Yeah, he is kind of a where my hug at guy, which is funny I feel like people you know those memes that's like Drake's the type of guy to say jeez Louise or like Drake's a type of Guy that a lot of those memes were like Drake's a type of guy to say where where's my hug at? So I'm wondering if he's he I know he sees those cuz that guy is tuned into social media yeah he has to be chronically online and I think the only thing for him at this point is to lean into that shit I think it's a good it's a good move for this album I think it's a good move I heard that there's a chance he could uh he could make like a rock type album well we did like an alt rock right from a reliable source it was it was pretty
Starting point is 00:23:28 reliable reliable source I don't know about that but it's just gonna be dependent if Beyonce makes it or not yeah really he if Beyonce does something he's like no I'm gonna beat her to the punch yeah like he heard she was gonna come out with like a club album he was like nah I'm gonna do it uh-huh that's why he did scary hours right wasn't that Wasn't that the, am I wrong? Is that the name of the album? I don't know Drake shit like you. I could just be talking out of my ass right now.
Starting point is 00:23:51 That's fine. What is it? What is it, Peyton? Scary Hours. Yeah, thank you. Good job, good job. So yeah, I mean, I think that would be, that'd be a little interesting.
Starting point is 00:24:02 I'd like to see a different flow from Drake. Yeah, I don't care about Drake. Oh, right. But you know what I did care about? That Super Bowl halftime show. What were your thoughts as a hater? Yeah, trying to be as unbiased as possible. I think that I just expected a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:24:23 OK, and what like? Now, I haven't I haven't sat down because again my timelines not gonna give it to me because I'm a Drake fan but like I didn't sit down and like look at like the symbolism or like little things that went on in the show that probably like added to it but to me I was like I was expecting a little bit more of a spectacle you know like I liked I thought it was funny how like he made no eye contact with the camera until he like talked about Drake you know what I'm saying like I liked I thought it was funny how like he made no eye contact with the camera until he like talked about
Starting point is 00:24:46 Drake you know what I'm saying like I hate like young like as soon as he looked at that was like Oh, that's it. That's a good moment. That's a good moment I just thought I was gonna see a little bit like Bigger I don't know I feel like the last couple Rihanna's was pretty cool. I liked Rihanna's and she was pregnant so it's hard to maybe be moving a bunch when you're pregnant. But I feel like where's like the Katy Perry roar coming in in a tiger? Yeah. Like where's that type of stuff?
Starting point is 00:25:13 Also like Rihanna played all of her hits. Drake, I'm not Drake. Kendrick, I loved Kendrick. I thought it was awesome. I thought it was sick. I thought it looked really visually pleasing and there were a lot of like messaging in it. But he should have played like his bangers too Yeah, I think it had to do with him owning the publishing of all those songs Oh, so like he owns all that stuff So that's why I believe that he played those because then you know those songs always get streamed what 400x they say after the My husband they calling you on This is... Does it just go through them?
Starting point is 00:25:50 That is awesome. It's just somebody singing right now. That's so beautiful. I feel like it's almost disrespectful to talk during this time. I think we got to do like a moment of silence These JBL speakers have gone crazy did Yeah, that's what I'm wondering too Yeah, I was wondering is this like the the anthem? Let me look it up. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Shut up. What? Shut up. Guess who just texted me while we're literally talking about I need to find my husband. No, my ex. Oh. Oh my gosh, that's so awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Should I answer? Yeah. I literally said, football players are your husbands. And then my ex football player boyfriend texted me. This is the best news of my life. It's got to be a sign. It's literally a sign from... and then the music starts playing. And there's a prayer going on. This is a lot. I want to find out what it is so we can say it so we don't sound stupid. What would I Google? What plays in the sky in Abu Dhabi? Yeah. Why does the voice of God come down at 1240 in Abu Dhabi?
Starting point is 00:27:07 What is the music playing around Abu Dhabi at 1240? That's over. It's not coming up. We can't find anything. That's interesting. We tried to google because I'm sure it's something it has to be something for a religious purpose. A hundred percent. A mosque? A mosque or a temple. That kind of looks like a mosque. Yeah, but they don't look like they got speakers attached to it. Where did that come from? I came from heaven, came from the sky. It was beautiful. That was cool. That was a cool experience. That was cool.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Alright. That played my ex texted me. Yeah life is perfect now love will be found love is in the air but Kendrick yeah that's actually interesting I didn't know that about the public yeah I think it had to do with his publishing like and then you know you get 400 X or whatever times the streams after the Super Bowls like what they say now record labels might inflate that who knows but if he's gonna get all the all the money from it yeah it kinda makes sense, right? Yeah, give him his bag. Give Kendrick his bag.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And, oh, are you gonna get some tight bootcut pants? I saw that people were freaking out about those jeans and being like, wow, Kendrick is bringing back the flared jeans. I don't know if it's my thing. Why? Now, I will say my roommate Anthony's been on that wave true He's been on that wave. Yep. He's always 70s Anthony always always got the the wide kind of bottoms a little tight like very Shaggy from Scooby-Doo vibes. You know what I'm saying? I don't even think I could I like your socks
Starting point is 00:28:38 Oh, thank you. I don't know if I could picture you in Wow Hearts and Those are adorable Did you wear them for Valentine's Day? I didn't actually which is probably a mistake. That was a mistake Yeah, yeah, but they were my only clean pair left. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I've run out of socks Yeah, I've run out we've actually all run out of clothes on this trip. I have I've worn this hoodie top three times Yeah, I mean Gabby and Peyton went to Zara yesterday and got
Starting point is 00:29:03 These crazy outfits. That's sweet. Yeah, that's sweet. Yeah, you guys are doing Ferrari world yesterday going fast We went on the fastest roller coaster in the world, which is pretty epic I'm glad Gabby did that because she is not a roller coaster gal I know okay So we went to we went to Ferrari world which there's a bunch of roller coasters and she went on a couple and then we Went to one and we sat in the front and this isn't the world's fastest one and we were in we're about to get buckled in Yeah, I'm like Gabby. You can do gabby you can do it you can do it she's bray i can't do it i can't do it i can't do it she's like no no no no i'm like gabby no you can't
Starting point is 00:29:33 no roller coaster no roller coaster and then she ran off i'm like no gabby you can do it you can do it she didn't do that one then we're leaving we're walking around i think she felt defeated by that and i was like gabby we're doing the world's fastest. She's like, I can't I'm like no you can't I can't do it She friggin did it. She didn't do the she didn't do the like easier one. She did the world's fast I go. Yeah my god right there. She felt unstoppable. I like that. It was awesome She had no choice because the lady that ran it like brought us and made it let us cut the line Oh, and I was like you're gonna cut the line you have you have to ride it she kept looking we have to hold on really tight and it was so funny cuz every time
Starting point is 00:30:11 we got into a roller coaster you know how they come over and they like they've like push your thing down she would just grab the guys is it safe yes it's safe but is it really safe it's like there's been a thousand people on this ride today this morning I'm sure it's all right it been a thousand people on this ride today this morning I'm sure it's all right it was cracking me up and Gabby screams on roller coasters and she doesn't know how to scream so she just goes oh I'm not joking like on every single ride she would just like it's just like her soul is leaving her body like I couldn't I thought I was gonna die because I was laughing so hard and then with
Starting point is 00:30:46 the wind I was choking because she was screaming so much that I was laughing so hard. You can't even catch your breath? Have you ever like stuck your head out the window before like when you're driving you can't like breathe? That's what it was. I was like trying so hard I I literally have never laughed so hard in my life. Then Gabby screaming on roller coasters. Oh, it was insane. You went golfing. I went golfing. I went to the Yas links of Abu Dhabi, which is pretty epic, man. Beautiful course. Hit a five iron 270 yards. Call me Bryson Deschamps. Hit the eagle putt too. It's whatever. If you told me you just spoke Arabic, I would have said yes. Like, I have no idea what you just said.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Yeah, now I will say it did not carry 270. It rolled. I definitely rolled the ball into the people in the green in front of me. Huge no-no in golf etiquette. Oh, bad? You do not hit into people that are in front of you. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's just not allowed. It's just like a dick move. But was an accident how in the world am I gonna know first of all I'm playing of course I've never played before I was below the green like the
Starting point is 00:31:53 elevation of the green was higher than where I was but if you get it over a hill it kind of has this like role to the like the course like I just played the concourse I did without even knowing I'd never played there I'm using clubs that I've never used before rental clubs so they're not the greatest clubs in the world and I'm taking the five I probably carried it like 190 sure pretty all right but it just rolled forever these like it was the nicest conditioned course like the the grass on it was like carpet so the ball would just roll I know I perfect here it is everything is perfect everything is clean don't you feel like you're safe living it's the safest city in the world it's crazy it
Starting point is 00:32:33 doesn't it feel like everything about Abu Dhabi we're in Abu Dhabi right now but also Dubai it feels like you're in the future it feels a little bit like a utopia yes you know what I'm saying like i'm waiting for the rug to be pulled on i know that's what i've been waiting for like what is what is being hidden from me right now truly or there zero homeless people the way the way i'd like i've i've felt very ignorant coming here and i think like
Starting point is 00:33:00 not american but as americans especially ones that group like kinda like blue collar where my parents are educated but you're not American but as Americans and especially ones that grew up like kind of like blue-collar where my parents Are educated, but they're not higher educated They didn't go to college or anything like right so they have like a tainted Image of the Middle East and I think a lot of people do everyone's got a taint and everyone does got a taint But coming here, I feel so stupid. I'm like, it's so safe. I mean, of course, we're in Abu Dhabi in Dubai It's not like we're fully everywhere, but these cities I've just been so enlightened and like the culture is so cool we've learned so much about like they're dating and like how they just like
Starting point is 00:33:31 present themselves. The coffee shops versus the bars. That's their bar that's their club going to a coffee shop their coffee shop stay open till midnight. Yep. You like if you want to talk to a girl you don't just go up and talk to her. I'm sure girls feel awesome here. I know. Right? Like you know how annoying it's got to be to go to a bar and just get hit on all the time. Right? Yeah. It's not fun. Like creeps. Sometimes you're just trying to be at the bar with your friends. You can't do that. Like here it's like you look at the girl you make eye contact eventually. You give them a smile. They smile back and then they get up and go to the bathroom. Then you exchange numbers. You go to the bathroom as
Starting point is 00:34:04 well and then it's like you get to talk kind of in the hallway in the bathroom, exchange Snapchat or Instagram. They say they do a lot of Snapchat down here. A lot of Snapchat, a lot of Instagram and then they'll end up dating for about four years. Never tell their parents. Nobody knows that they're dating. It's secret dating. It's a secret relationship for like three to four years. At least this is what we were told. Three to four years. We were hanging out with a girl that, born and raised in Dubai. Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:27 And then they go and tell their parents, or the guy will go and tell their parents like, oh, I want to marry this girl. I just met her like a week ago, and I just think she's the one. And they've actually been dating for like three to four years. Dating secretly for four years. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Which is so cool, because it's like, in their culture, it's like you get married, and you're not supposed to date for that much longer. So they've, like they've found like their ways, as all like younger people get married and you're not supposed to date for that much longer so they've like they found like their ways as all like younger people do they're like no I want to know if they're actually the one a hundred they were saying guys are sneaky as hell like they won't follow any girls on Instagram yeah so that like girls don't know who they're talking to
Starting point is 00:34:57 yeah like who they've talked to I guess or anything like that like they only follow guys like she was like they only follow guys and it's not because they're gay. It's because they don't want you to know who they're talking to, who they've DM'd in the past, which is they got their ways down here. They've got their ways and it's working but the girl was also like it's hard out here man these guys suck. She was so funny. She was awesome. She was our vibe. I'm glad she was our like tour guide because she was wicked. Yeah, it's so funny. Like, everyone in the world is like, we're all the same. We think the same ways. We just live different ways. Like, we all have the same ideals. Like, it was just, it was, it's been refreshing to be here. Or enlightening. Everyone's looking for love. Everyone's looking for love. And everyone's cracking up.

Josh, she was in, guys, okay, we've talked about, we didn't talk about, we talked about the Pakistan lady with Burt, but that episode didn't come out. Yeah.

She was staying in Pakistan she's just saying she's gonna take it over she's gonna build it from the ground up she needs land she needs 2,000 or more every week everyone's getting paid a hundred thousand every other week Shabana Shabana and it's against her religion to tell her business like that's so awesome is my, I know that she's skating, she's shady and there's like fraud shit.

And it was so, like we really wanted to get her on the pod. We really, or at least like interview her in some capacity, man on the street, or at least see her in person. A hundred.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And the craziest thing about Onizha is she doesn't have any of her own social media. Nope. She is just famous on the news and famous from every other video. So we were trying to contact her. Like we were reaching out to people. We were commenting back.
Starting point is 00:38:04 There's no way to find an Aja. We're gonna have to download a dating profile and whatever dating app she's been on. The Pakistan apps. Yeah whatever it is. Yeah I mean I was fully ready to go to Pakistan after this to find her but now have did you see what's up with her now? No. So she got on a flight from Dubai because it was just a layover here. She got on her flight to go back to New York. And I saw this last night, so by the time this comes out, I'm not sure if things have been updated.
Starting point is 00:38:29 But she got on the flight, and there were two flight attendants. The people say they might have been police officers like dressed up as flight attendants, but who knows? They might have just been security. Air marshals, you mean? Yeah, but they were waiting for her on the flight, and they escorted her off, and no one has seen her.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Her since? Or heard from her since.

Do you think that's gonna happen though?
Starting point is 00:39:29 I don't know if people have the balls like that woman from the Bronx. I know like she didn't want to be famous She doesn't even know that's what makes her famous. You know what I mean? Like that's what makes it work She don't want none of this $100,000 a week for me and my team Shabanaana, Shabana. Shabana, clear the way. It's against my religion to tell my business. And someone goes, wait, there was another video where someone was like, so where are you going? Like she goes, my business is private, but yes. And then she starts talking about her business. Yeah, she's awesome. She's all over the place. She's everything. I really hope, Onay Ija if you're out there

Starting point is 00:40:30 So Ghost Energy is fully transparent, fully loaded, feel good energy. I actually got in trouble because I tried to bring a Ghost Energy through TSA. And I thought that I was gonna get arrested in Abu Dhabi because they're really strict with things, but I just threw it away and it was okay. So StrawBango is here to stay permanently, now sold exclusively at Walmart.
Starting point is 00:40:47 It's a perfect duo of fresh strawberry paired with street sour mango for a crisp and refreshing flavor for any occasion. So the all new Ghost and Warheads Sour Black Cherry is now available nationwide. It's crazy. It's one of my favorites. My favorite flavor is probably the Blue Raspberry Sour Patch Kid, but this one kind of holds a close second. It's a hell of a flavor.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Bold, sour, and a touch of sweet cherry. The craziest thing about Ghost is it's all natural. It's natural caffeine. It's less than 200 milligrams and it's all like good stuff for you. There's no artificial flavoring. And I don't understand because it actually tastes like the candy.
Starting point is 00:41:16 So you have to check it out. Zero sugar, find Ghost Energy at your local grocery or convenience store for a full lineup in flavors. Visit Ghost, nope, visit drinkghost.com ghost.com but speaking of that wait what were we just talking about oh nice I had a good segue and I don't remember what I was gonna well talking about terrible relationship things that end up happening right can we go that way into Montana are we gonna go into Montana oh we could go into that, yeah. I think we should a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Wow. That would be the worst thing ever if you guys haven't seen it. Explain it. Montoya is on this show called Temptation Island. Temptation Island is essentially Love Island on what? Crack? Can I pause you for a second? Yeah. And just explain Temptation Island because it's the craziest show in the world.
Starting point is 00:42:04 It's just a sex show. I've watched the American version or the English version a second? Yeah. And just explain Temptation Island because it's the craziest show in the world. It's just a sex show. I've watched the American version or the English version of it and basically it's couples. They go to Temptation Island to see how strong their relationship is. Some of these people are engaged. They're about to get married. They've been dating for 10, 11 years. They go on. The men and the women get separated.
Starting point is 00:42:21 The woman is on one island with a bunch of hot, sexy singles that they're tempted with, vice versa. The guys with a bunch of sexy ones. And they're tempted to see if they will cheat. Majority of them do cheat, but they tell each other before it, we're never going to cheat, we're so strong. Then when one of them cheats on the other island, they show their partner cheating on them, make them sit down and watch it. And that's what happened with Montoya. Yeah. And he's running across the island. He's running across the beach and one of the most dramatic scenes in reality TV history. It's heartbreaking but this one was you show me this I didn't see it the craziest one I've ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 00:42:54 She is rabbit riding like this girl is is pure just like this. It wasn't a makeout. No not even a little bit wasn't even just handsy. Uh-uh. They were dogging. They were dogging. Did they fast forward it? I don't think so. Speed it up? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:43:11 That was Jack Hammer style. It was Jack Hammer style. They showed it. They were trying to get it in as quick as they could, so when he ran across the island, they'd already be done. Oh my god. Imagine watching your girlfriend Jack Hammer style. I'd probably kill myself.
Starting point is 00:43:24 On live television. Yup. But you would run across the beach too. You wanna see a show? Dead. I'm dead. Televise that. Hey police, we have an attempted suicide. Yeah, that's what would happen.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Yeah, awful. It's all- why? Here's my thing. You have to be a crazy son of a gun to sign up to go on that show. If you wanna go on that show, your marriage is already doomed. What are you freaks doing? You're already doomed. What are you freaks doing?
Starting point is 00:43:49 No, like if I ever was suggested by my partner in life, hey, do you want to go on Temptation Island? All right, we're off. See you later. Yeah, bye bye. It's done. It's over right there. Criminally insane.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Even if you don't cheat on each other and you're tempted, it's like, what's the point? Can't you just trust me that I'm not gonna cheat on you back home? Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I mean, if you have the trust issues with your partner to where you feel like you need to go on Temptation Island to see if they'd be a cheater, it's probably doomed from the get-go. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:44:21 I remember watching one season. I only watched one season season and this was years ago Jay they went on they were about to get married and one of the couples like he cheated on her with another girl He left the island dating the temptation And left his fiance broke off the engagement left her and then left with the other girl What does that girl think she's getting herself into? True love? I know. Like it's just going to happen again. Even I would know that's bad.
Starting point is 00:44:47 He probably wants to just get on the next season. Exactly. And bring her on the next season. And then do a little. It's like he's leasing a car. Yeah. He's like, I'll keep it for a year, and then I'm going to go upgrade.
Starting point is 00:44:58 It's his ticket back. It's brutal. Brutal. That show's creating diabolical producers. Diabolical. And you know they're in there just like licking their lips It's brutal. Brutal. That show's creating diabolical producers. Diabolical. And you know they're in there just like licking their lips when they see this girl jackrabbit-ing with the guy.
Starting point is 00:45:10 They're just like, oh, this is going to make for great TV. I bet they're so diabolical. They give them molly and they're like, oh, they're all sexed up. They're just going to have sex right now. They definitely get them drunk. 100%. And they probably don't give them a lot of food, so they're hella drunk. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:45:24 They're just getting wasted off of like one glass of champagne. Uh-huh. Oh Speaking of speaking of that Um, I guess we could we could go a little bit into bff's corner last night I tried to go to the nightclub in Abu Dhabi. Yeah, that was a wild move. Okay, that was a wild move See, I don't think that's wild. I think on every continent. You should go to a nightclub I feel like that way with a golf course. OK, yeah. And that's where we differentiate. So last night we're at dinner.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Everyone was really tired. Everyone's been really tired. We also haven't partied at all in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. We're not drinking. And we had a couple drinks at dinner. I'm sitting there. It's 9.30. I'm like, I want to go to the nightclub.
Starting point is 00:46:01 And I Google nearest nightclub to me. It's pretty close. It was 22 minutes away. Not that close. I look around. Gabby was falling asleep at dinner. At the table. At the table. So I walked her out. You stayed and finished your steak. Yeah yeah yeah me and Chris were chatting. We were finishing. We had a bottle of wine that we had to finish. Yeah. So we had to get through that. I had my first sip of gin last night. I loved it. And tonics. They're great drinks. I don't think I would that I know of. I loved gin.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Gin and tonics, they're great drinks. I don't think I would like it with tonic. I was like a strawberry gin thing. It was strawberry gin. Yeah, but you could just do a gin and tonic with like strawberry syrup. Tonic is like a sweet drink. Is that soda? Yeah, but it's like a very sugary club soda essentially.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Like it's sweet tasting. Oh, tonic isn't soda? I thought it was an interchangeable word. Like- You thought club soda and tonic were the same drink. Yeah, you just don't drink soda I don't like Kleenex soda. I don't drink unless I have to like um when we did Burt's show who's like one of vodka soda That's all I have. Yeah, sure fuck. It's good to hydrate I thought tonic and soda water were the same thing see tonic is not gonna It's not gonna hydrate you like a club soda is or like just
Starting point is 00:47:05 sparkling water is like because there's so much sugar so vodka soda is totally different than gin and tonic it's totally different there's probably 40 grams of sugar in a tonic oh yes so maybe I would like that I think you would like I like I like stuff that's bad for you but anyways I had it and I looked up googled Abu Dhabi nightclub, took the car there, went in. It was, it was horrific. Yeah, it was horrific. Only okay. So I did find out that Abu Dhabi does have good nightlife. Obviously, I just didn't go to the right one. I went to a hotel club where there was like the only place there are clubs. I know, like that's the thing because they,
Starting point is 00:47:41 it's a Muslim culture. They don't drink. They they don't they they can't drink with their their religion So it's like there's not gonna be you know an 11 out here. No, but they're in Dubai. Yeah, there's 11 in Dubai Like not 11, but essentially yeah, but it would be in a hotel still I don't know I think there's only places you can drink are typically what I thought I read was the only places there are drinking is in like resorts or like hotels because that's where they know tourists are gonna be yeah and now they upscale they also upscale the price of all the alcohol because one like they
Starting point is 00:48:13 don't make it here so it's got to get all you know imported in yeah it's kind of redundant to say imported in but uh it's it's like I was looking at a tiny little bottle of like Moe. It was like $150 USD. What the hell? Yeah. What the hell? What the heck? That's ridiculous. It was expensive.
Starting point is 00:48:35 And when we got, well, that's why I knew, I saw that it was in a hotel and I was on the same page. I was like, oh, it's going to be good then because that's where I'll, so we get there. It was, I think there were American people playing. They were the band and they had mohawks. They were singing songs from the 40s. It was a long time ago. Yeah. It was almost a hundred years ago. Yeah. It was, there was like four people in there. So I immediately, I'm like, I'm gonna go to the
Starting point is 00:49:01 bar. I'm gonna get a drink. So I go, I'm like, can I have a porn star martini? Nice. She starts, she starts, like she comes over, she's like, okay, let me let So I immediately I'm like I'm gonna go to the bar. I'm gonna get a drink So I go I'm like can I have a porn star martini nice? She starts she starts like she comes over. She's like, okay, let me let you pay for it I try to pay for it. It's my American Express all I brought I didn't bring a wallet Just brought my physical card and they didn't take American Express wicked You would have thought that I killed someone she and she's like you don't have another card I'm like no, but they didn't they didn't start making the drink yet. I'm like, no, we'll just get out of here. She's like, you're not going to get a drink. You don't have any other card. Making me feel so stupid. I was like, oh my God, we have to go. It was awful. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of on you. Bring another card. But why? I just like, wouldn't you think it would work?
Starting point is 00:49:39 You didn't bring like a wallet? You didn't bring like ID? I was in my pajamas. Yeah, see, that's maybe that's why they were looking at you funny. No, but there was no one in there. And then I found a cat that I wanted to bring on the way home. It was a great experience overall. I'm glad that I went. That's good. And I do want to move here.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Yeah, I mean, great tax benefits. Can we actually get a Dubai summer house? Yeah, and it would be like, you only have to spend like 90 days here and you get the taxes. Yeah, that's awesome. So awesome. People from the UK do that all the time. I know. But it's a quick flight. It's like five hours for them. Yeah it's really not that bad. I like the flight. 15 hours is kinda long. I like long flights. It's the only time I can think straight. That's a problem. I know it really is. That's really a problem.
Starting point is 00:50:21 It's the only time I feel at peace. You need to be like locked up in a tube? Yeah. Yeah see that's not that's really about the only time I feel at peace into being locked up in a tube. Yeah Yeah, see that's not that's not good, and I don't get Wi-Fi and I just stay I'm like this is awesome. Yeah I don't think that's like it's kind of nice for me And people are really confused why we're at the World Government Summit. Yeah, I know I saw that Yeah, we can talk about it. Yeah, I mean it was pretty cool. We got to go and we were pretty much just talking about how I guess what? Governments and social media can be more aligned and More on to like more than that. It was like the monetization Factors of social media ways that we can work on monetizing ways that we can be using like the the data
Starting point is 00:51:01 That is collected and like what is okay to collect and what is not okay to collect and all of those things so a lot of AI talk to a lot of AI talk I think now we weren't touching on AI much no no we were more talking about purely from like a social media aspect how there can be more conversations in an unbiased format between the government and social media influencers because clearly this is the way that people are getting their news now. You look at what happened with the election in the US and Joe Rogan pretty much being one of the big factors of Donald Trump being elected like if it
Starting point is 00:51:40 really that changed so many undecided voters to go and vote for Trump. So it is the way people are collecting their news now, is they're going and watching the person that they enjoy to watch on a daily basis. Like you made a comment that was like, the news, you don't really pick who your anchor is going to be. It's just whoever's hired by Fox or whoever's hired by CNN or whatever. So you don't get to pick who you're hearing it from. On podcasts, you do.
Starting point is 00:52:05 You feel more attached to the person talking about it, which does make it a little bit more personal. And now you're enjoying listening to this person talk about whatever politics are going on or just giving a platform to the politician to be able to talk about it. And I think that's where we were really honing in was like, we don't believe it's the influencer's jobs to sway the vote or to say, this is who you need to vote for or you're an idiot if you vote for this person. Like that's, that is not what it's about. It's about hopefully platforming both sides in a way
Starting point is 00:52:38 where you're able to ask questions. You're able to ask your audience, like me and you are able to ask our audience, what do you guys want to hear from the people that you're about to go vote for? And young voters do want to be educated on what they're doing, or they should want to be educated on what you're doing. And so I think a lot of times we've just said like, utilize your right to vote, utilize your right to vote. But if we are able to platform and put an unbiased opinion out there, or just allow the politicians to
Starting point is 00:53:04 do the speaking, I think that is, that is a cool thing. Yeah. And I think a lot of people underestimate how impressionable social media, and I'm not saying us, but just in general, like influencers or podcasters are in to the way that people vote or the way that people view politics. Like if you're being honest, or if we're being honest, a lot of people only get their news from social media. Like they get their news from TikTok, they get their news from X, they get their news from Instagram. Like a lot of people aren't, especially the younger generations, aren't turning on the news. So like we were there because we talked
Starting point is 00:53:38 about that and we talked about how influential, just like a simple, like we on Plan B, Kamala wanted to come on, but we didn't, we offered it to Donald Trump too, because I wanted to have both sides. I think I didn't want it to be like a completely like split down the middle. This is who side I'm taking. Even if that was the side I was taking, I wanted to hear from both, but like you underestimate how influential like all of my listeners, if we were to have her on, would just be like this is, okay this is who we have to vote. We have young, impressionable people, but if we were to have her on would just be like this is okay this is who we have to vote we have young impressionable people but if we have both sides on they can make their own decisions yeah so that's kind of just
Starting point is 00:54:10 the conversations and topics we talked about there we weren't there for like the future of sustainability like we were there for like our small section exactly exactly there were what 50 45 creators at the round table so there were a lot of different people talking. There were voices from all over the world, like people from the US, people from Canada, people from the UK, people from everywhere. So it's just like-
Starting point is 00:54:32 It was cool. It was a really cool experience. It was a really cool, really cool experience. Like, and also I don't think I ever would have came to Dubai or Abu Dhabi like anytime soon. No, yeah. So it gave us like a lot of cool insight on all of those creators. We
Starting point is 00:54:45 met so many people from London, from Ireland, from South Africa, like everywhere. And yeah, it's just been a really cool trip. I feel like we learned a lot. 100%. 100%. It was fun. I'm biting not to like move on from something cool. No, you're good. I am biting the crap out of my lips though on this trip. You are.
