Hello everyone, welcome back to a brand new edition of The Ten and the Seven. I am being told that I am The Ten, Ariel Helwani, that is the supposed seven. Luciana Andrade, it's been a while, it's been three or four weeks. She's been so busy traveling the world every week. I'm like, do you want a tape? Do you want to tape? Do you want to tape? I'm in Lake Como. I'm in Cabo.

I'm in Cuba. No, no, no, no. Wow. I even brought this microphone that you see here, you know, to my trip. It was inside my bag the entire time because I was like, okay, I'm not going to let Ariel down. Let me do this. Let me be professional. And then you, mister, kept being busy, busy, busy, busy.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you lugged it all the way to where? Where did you go? You went to Italy or something? Yes. What a pain in the butt. It was my birthday. It's been so long since we last spoke because now I am 37. Last time you talked to me, I was 36.

Wow, that is true. Yeah. How does it feel to be 37? Are you getting to me i was 36 so wow that is true yeah how does it feel to be 37 are you getting sad are you happy are you grateful i'm good i'm actually you know i feel good i'm i'm getting that age where i think i look better than i do you think you look better i think everybody goes through that phase what does that mean i think i look worse than i do no for the age i'm like oh maybe i don't look that bad for 37 but that's in my mind i think that maybe people are like oh lucena's really really letting herself go huh right no i don't think people are thinking that about you or anyone who's 37 it's not that old are they thinking that about you though uh i've been told yes wow uh 41 that is a crazy number today no it's okay are you nervous

what's going on what's happening i just i just haven't been on camera in a while it's been a while it's been a while um but the trip was good the birthday was good yeah so yeah last time we spoke yeah have i gone to my bachelorette party or not? Yes, because you didn't have a voice. Okay. Yeah, true. There were all kinds of candies involved. So then, look at all the things I've done. I worked in Kansas City. I found out I was in Kansas, but not Kansas, the state. That's right.

That was a big lesson for me. Then I went to Italy, you know, starting in Venice, my first time there was okay i thought you meant italy like the restaurant in new york you meant italy no okay just all right the place right right go ahead um so yeah went to venice for two nights very cool then lake did you take the boat the gondola with the guy with the stripes and everything i did that it was so fun i loved it um then after that we went to lake como did the tour in the villas that were getting married met the planners found out that they actually exist wow yes we were not getting scammed online which is good um so we stayed there for like two nights or three nights. And then we went to Switzerland, Zurich. Wow.

And then it was my birthday. I did a chocolate tour. Came back. Then what else did I do? Oh, and then I went to Coachella last weekend. And now I'm fully recovered. And then tomorrow I'm going to Vegas for UFC. So lots of chocolate.

Wait a second. What is the chocolate tour? Okay. So you know Lint? Lint, yes. They have their factory there. And they have a museum of chocolate. And it's my favorite chocolate, by the way, if anyone ever wants to give me something.

That's my chocolate. But yeah, so I did that. And it was the day before Easter, my birthday. And it was pretty cool. So, like eggs and bunnies and stuff like that there? They did have that for the kids, for the adults. They had the machines. I actually didn't know that much about chocolate.

It's crazy. They tell you the whole story, you know, that the beans originally came from, let's say, Central America, South America, blah, blah, blah. Of course, these people got explored, you know, the Europeans took advantage of them, blah, blah, blah. Eventually, Switzerland became the place to make chocolate. So, they tell the whole story how they are made, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, it was really cool. And then you get to try out the delicious stuff that they have. Did you go skiing?

No, I wanted to, but we only had realistically like Friday and Saturday because we were flying back Sunday. Okay. And I wanted to do that tour. They have the train, right? I think it's a Glacier Express, something like that. And it's like super fancy, seven hours. They treat you very well. You eat, blah, blah, blah.

But they didn't have that specific tour happening on those weeks so then they still have like the first class but getting to the locations to take the train the seven hour train ride is just not easy and then because we didn't have that much time i just said you know what let's just go to zurich and we did so you did that trip and you did something called coachella which i still don't really understand what it is it's like a music festival it's awesome now you were asking people if you were back yeah I'm sorry you were asking people on Twitter if uh if you were young enough to go to Coachella yeah because that's when you find out you're no longer as young when you don't know what is like when you don't know anybody in

the lineup besides what Blink-182? Oh, they were there. I love them. They were there, but I didn't watch it because it was Sunday and we decided that Friday and Saturday was enough party. Okay. But yeah, that's why. So all the kids are going, they do it every week year.

It's two weekends in April and then they have two weekends for Stagecoach. I believe it's the same group that organizes both. I never been to stage coach but it's stage coach is just country music uh but yeah coachella is awesome you have this huge area uh close to palm springs it's actually in the other city and then it's multiple stages intense playing music electronic music all sorts of music actually okay and people just just express themselves through their outfits, and they wear colorful stuff or whatever they want, and they go nuts, and it's fun. Now, you sleep in tents and stuff like that there?

No. No. So, you can if you want to. You wouldn't do that. Some people, I guess, because it, no. I never went camping, but I would go glamping maybe glamping okay maybe that's glamorous camping right i like hotels a lot yeah it was like are you sleeping in nice places or is it kind of dumpy yeah so it's a funny story actually so we went to a hotel that my fiancee kept listening to oh

this is the spot you have to always stay there when you go to Coachella and he's been to Coachella a million times but he always you know in the past would get a Airbnb house or last year we stayed at a hotel anyways and he never stayed at this particular hotel that you know this guy kept telling him it was super close to the venue it is very close to the venue but we get there and we don't really like the hotel so then we spend the night there and then we go to another hotel in palm springs which is 40 minutes 40 plus minutes away um it was much nicer but yeah we we made that decision wow you guys are bougie huh not bougie but we do like because because the way coachella works is like it starts let's say at 1 p.m and ends in one two in the morning okay i don't go to be in the sun all day so i want to be like in a nice pool

and have like a good service some cocktails and stuff so uh have you ever had an espresso martini this is something i had in la when i was there okay yes but i don't drink coffee so i can't relate but people love it people the coffee lovers loved it. It's incredible. It's one of the greatest things I've ever had in my life. And I'm not a big drinker, but I tried it when I was in LA, and I had two, and then I fell asleep right away. I fell asleep at the dinner that I was at.

If you don't drink anything, you're bad. Yeah, but it's supposed to be coffee. It's supposed to be coffee. I was at a dinner, and I fell asleep at the table after drinking too. Coffee with martini, yeah. It's a great time. Wow. Yeah, people love it.

I wish someone told me about this years ago. I would have been all over it. Now you know. Now I know. Tremendous. Imagine like you, too bad that they won't serve this anywhere, but imagine you were like at a soccer, I just thought about it. You at a sports event and thinking like, oh, let me just buy like something and then

they only have beers. Yeah, no, I can't do that. Would you have a coffee martini, by any chance? Not that, you know, I can have water or something like that. I mean, I'm not that boring. I can have a beer if needed. I'm a big Guinness fan. Have you ever had Guinness?

Yes. Yes. Not a fan? I mean, I no longer drink beer that much. So, do you drink guinness bougie drinks i actually i am like the champagne bubble oh excuse me no but i drink like one two glasses and that that's it i don't i don't need to get drunk anymore every night of course not no okay if i'm out when and if i'm out right right right but i don't need to get drunk anymore. Every night? Of course not. No. If I'm out, when and if I'm out. Right, right, right.

But I don't go out. By the way, I wanted to ask you about a tweet. April 16th, you tweeted, how do you politely ask someone to stop farting slash burping on the airplane?

I don't know. I'm about to ask the flight attendant to bring me a face mask. I can't take it anymore. Farting and burping, two very different things, by the way. Yeah,

but I couldn't, I just couldn't tell. It was like, so like so this mail was so bad it was coming from you know who was it coming from i think it was the guy next to me that's what it was so surprised i feel like i think he was sick i think that's what it was he was feeling sick i don't know if this was my flight in or out of i believe it was nancy city probably okay probably working for ufc and i believe it was Nielsen City probably. Okay. Probably working for UFC. And I think it was the guy next to me. And because right before the plane was, you know, was about to take off, he had to rush to the bathroom.

And then the entire flight, it was just like this show of smells, I guess. And so did you tell him to stop? I didn't have the heart to it, but I played that scenario a million times in my head until the time that we landed. And then after we landed, I was like, maybe I should have said something, but then I didn't. What are you going to say to the guy? Poor guy's not feeling well.

I mean, he's maybe, you know, he's sick. Yeah, but like, what do I, it's just so bad. What do you do? I do nothing. I feel, I say, you know, i don't put them on blast on twitter you were such a germaphobe i was actually thinking about this when i was traveling because you don't like you know giving hugs touching people but you have to travel and you end up touching everything and there's nothing dirtier than an airport and an airplane. And eventually you have to go to the bathroom. And what do you do? Yeah, these are all things that I think about a lot.

Hotels. Hotels can be pretty dirty, that carpet that they never wash. Oh man, I was in Las Vegas last week at the Vidara and then I went to bed. Vidara is nice. You know what? It's getting a little bit old. It's getting a little bit old, if I'm being honest. And then I saw what appeared to be a blood stain on my pillowcase and it's just what did you do i called them and i asked them to change it but i i feel i feel like you almost have to block it out at this point because you're going to drive yourself crazy if you just consume yourself that first hotel we stayed when we went to Coachella they cleaned so well that you know the nightstand right next to the bed they still had the context of a previous guest sitting there oh so that was kind of like okay this is the last straw yes oh

my gosh but I have a lot of allergies too so that hotel had carpet and you know that type of carpet it was saying it was like a four star but I would give it two maybe And you know that type of carpet, it was saying it was like a four star, but I would give it two maybe. Because you know that type of hotel that is like so freaking old that you can see like the AC dirty. It was bad. It was bad. That's why we changed hotels. We're not that picky. I mean, we are.

So was Coachella fun? Very fun. Yeah. Best band you saw? I really liked Sophie Tucker. So was Coachella fun? Very fun, yeah. Best band you saw? I really like Sophie Tucker. You're not going to know. But White Lotus had their song in the intro. Am I too old to go?

No, nobody's too old to go to Coachella. Well, you were asking people to. I know, but I like to hear. You were just trying to play. I just turned 37, so I knew that. You were fishing people to. I know, but I like to hear not at all. You were just trying to play. I just turned 37, so I need that validation. You're fishing for compliments. People are like, no, of course you're not too low. Okay.

Well, we have a president that is going to run again at 100 billion years old. Who's that? Maybe age. Who's that? Maybe it's just a number. That is true. Like Aaliyah once said. Do you remember Aaliyah, the late great Aaliyah who died in the plane crash?

Age ain't nothing but a number. I didn't grow up here. You don't remember her? Oh, it was a very sad day. She was a great R&B singer. She was in a private plane. What year was that? Before or after I was born? Before or after Christ? 2001.

I wasn't in the US. I wasn't even in college in 2001. It was actually my first week of college. wasn't in the US. I wasn't even in college in 2001. It was actually my first week of college. I was in high school. I was in the cafeteria. I was so, remember I told you that I used to eat in my room all the time because I was so like socially anxious? I went to Sbarro. So you used to or you still do that? No, well now I'm good. Now I'm, you know, limousine riding and jet plane flying. But I would go to Sbarro and eat every single night the same pizza.

And it came on the TV that she died in a plane crash. So I'll never forget it because I was lonely. And then I see that and it made me sad. And I started questioning life. I'll never forget it. You never stop questioning life since. Never. Never.

You can't. Shall we get to the questions? Sure. Sutcliffe. And we get to the questions? Sure. Sutcliffe. And thank you to everyone who sent in questions. We appreciate you all very much. By the way, next week, we're going to try to do this live, live. I actually wanted to do it live, live today, but we couldn't gather the troops.

But I want to do this like live, live on the chat. Okay. I would love that. There was some talk of like, people were like, oh, you know, is the show dead? This and that. You know, I got some comments. There was some talk of like, people were like, oh, you know, is the show dead? This and that. You know, I got some comments. I think you got some comments. Well, I just want the public to know, like, I was here ready to go.

No, no, no, no, no. Please send all your complaints over to that site. Because I always tell everything about my life here. I feel you never open up. You always answer questions with other questions. Where have you been? Because as far as I know, you've been to LA. Did not tell me.

No, no, no. Couldn't be bothered. A bit of Vegas. I was in Vegas. Where else have you been? I was in LA. I was in Vegas. How long in LA?

A week. A week? A whole week? A full week, yeah. But I was there for WrestleMania. You know, that was a big one. Yeah. Also, no invites.

No, but it was your birthday. You were going away. No invites to your birthday party, Bash. It's nice to invite people anyway. Just anyway? Even if you don't want them to go. Even if you don't want them to go. All right.

Token invite, we call that in the business. I invited you to my wedding. You did, yeah. You did. Did you get my Venmo, by the way, the gift? Yes. Thank you. Why the odd number? Oh, do you want to know why? You were wondering? So I, well, now I feel, well, now I don't want to talk about the number because people are going to be like, that's too cheap. That's, you know, who knows? But anyway, 18 is a good luck number in the Jewish religion. 18 means life.

When you spell life in Hebrew, it's chai. And in Hebrew, every letter has a numerical value attached to it. And so chai, which is life, which is obviously a great thing, is the number 18. And so when you give someone a gift for anything, any occasion, bar mitzvah, wedding, whatever, it's always like with a 1-8 in it or a multiple. So it's 180 or 360 or so. I like that. Did you have one of those emails like Ariel Huani? No. 180? No, no, no, no, no. Because people like you who I would interact with would think that it's a weird number. What was your MSN, MySpace, whatever you guys use that?

The MTL Franchise 33, because they used to call me the franchise because I was like the future. I'm from MTL Montreal and my favorite number was 33. What was yours? 180. I didn't have MySpace. We have orkut orkut o-r-k-u-t okay so famous uh internationally just like the backstreet boys yes just like the backstreet boys what a weird

analogy just like the backstreet boys because a lot of things were not you know the no the backstreet boys were domestically no but ensign was bigger no backstreet Boys. Because a lot of things were not, you know, the... No, the Backstreet Boys were... Domestically. No, but NSYNC was bigger. No, Backstreet Boys were the OGs. I hear that. No, I hear that NSYNC was the thing. No. I don't know who you're talking about. Did you like Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera?

I know they were both from here, but... Christina felt like the sort of knockoff Britney Spears. Like, Britney Spears was the OG. She seemed better. But Britney Spears had the, she came first, right? Yes. And she was iconic. You know, and she had the ups and downs.

Yeah, she was. She had the moves. She had the moves. And the body, goddamn. Yeah. She had everything. By the way, speaking of celebrities, Sutcliffe asks, Bonjour Ariel and Luciana, my question is,

what is the best way to interact with a celebrity you really like or are starstruck by, i.e., how to not be nervous or say something simple and common? But to have a special moment, you can look back thinking you didn't waste a big opportunity. Do you guys have any stories about meeting big celebrities? Sutcliffe. So, for example, like the first time you met me, were you, did you feel like you were? Yeah, I was so nervous. Oh, my God.

Starstruck. You meet celebrities at these fights, no? Yeah, but I don't. I'm not. I don't want to say grouper, but I never. A grouper? Not grouper, but I don't approach them. What?

Grouper is a fish. No, what is the word that I was looking for? Groupie. Groupie. Groupie. Well, English is my second language. Sure, sure, sure sure sure sure so anyways um no i don't approach now i only the only celebrity i ever approached i guess it was larry david

oh my gosh at a baseball game i remember you you when you met him yes i took a picture i asked for a picture what was that like because i feel like he's the kind of guy who would not want to take a picture and be bothered well if he didn't want it he took it feel like he's the kind of guy who would not want to take a picture and be bothered. Well, if he didn't want it, he took it anyways. But he had the same attitude of Larry David in the show. So he's basically playing himself 100%. I loved it. He didn't even move.

But he smiled. I like it. What did you say to him? So we, because I was like with a group and one of the people in the group worked for, was his agent or worked for the agency that he's represented by. And I was, I kept saying, oh my God, Larry Davis is there. And I was like, do you want, would you like to meet him? Would you like to take a picture with him? And I'm like, yes, please.

So then we went there and the person asked for it. So I did it. Yeah. That is amazing. But yeah, I would say, I would suggest never interrupt a person when they're eating or like in the middle of a serious conversation because there's nothing more annoying than that, I feel. And then it makes the person automatically hate you.

I agree with that. I would say more annoying than that is in the bathroom. Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know what's the worst? When they want to shake your hand in the bathroom. What do you do? I'm like, yo, we're in the bathroom. So I go. Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, it's the worst when they want to shake your hand in the bathroom. What do you do?

I I'm like, yo, we're in the bathroom. So I go like this, this, or I'm just like, like matrix move. We're in the bathroom.

We're in the bathroom. Salaam alaikum. Walaikum Salaam. Another thing to you, when you go to the bathroom, especially public bathroom, do you use the, the hand dry thing or the paper?

And if they don't have the paper and they only have the dry thing, what do you do? Do you do it in your pants? No. I do it in my pants. No. I wipe my hands on my clothes because if you put it here, it's like so thin, the whole, like you have to go, chances are you're going to touch it. The bacteria just go all over the place. So it's the worst day.

It's not very hygienic. More often than not, 99% of the time, I'm just drying it on my clothes. Yeah. Okay. Makes sense. I do the same. You want to know what's one of my biggest pet peeves? When the door to leave is like a handle as opposed to a push.

Yes. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Because I was about to say that. You get in and there's always a way of you pushing your body against the door to leave is like a handle as opposed to a push. Yes. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Because I was about to say that. You get in and there's always a way of you pushing your body against the door to open it. Right? Yes.

Fine. Then you're like not touching anything when you were washing stuff. And then when you leave, you've got to touch the door again that everybody touched it. And what about those people that don't wash their hands? So, like, it's all the bacteria sitting there all day long for years, you know? Oh, it's horrible. Yeah. Why are you so fascinated with this?

I feel like you're very fascinated by all this. By the way, something... I always think, I'm like, am I the only person thinking this? True or false? You're fascinated by... You love watching videos of people getting their pimples popped. I do like that. Why?

Well, I find it satisfying. It's the grossest thing ever. No, it's not satisfying. It's deranged. Why do you want to watch that? It's disgusting. Well, in my defense, my sister is like it too. So maybe it runs in the family.

It's in the blood. You guys just pass along videos to each other? You know, like the nail stuff, the nail videos when you have to pull the nail out of the skin. No. It's too far. Who wants to watch any of this? But I do like the pimple popper thing. Oh, pimple popper.

And the sister when it explodes. Why do you want to watch that? Seriously, what is the appeal? Why do people watch volcanoes explode? I don't know. Damn. So when you get a pimple, are you excited because you get to pop it? Yeah, but I don't get those.

Oh, excuse me. I would cultivate them until they get like so infected that I can finally have my moment. But no. Do you pop your fiancés or your friends? He doesn't have them either. Oh, excuse me. It must be nice to have perfect skin. Wow.

No, but it's disappointing. Like, I wish I could do it. Disappointing. You know, I wish. When I was a kid, I used to have, like, pimples. You know, you're an adolescent, you have pimples, and it was the worst feeling. Yeah. Yeah.

I got some marks, like, here. Oh, you used to get them, too? I mean, not all the time, but I did get some, and then I completely damaged my skin because of it. Yeah. David. I'm having a tough time with my hair here. Yeah, and I don't know what's going on. You're all out of sorts.

Now she's 37, not looking good. Yeah, you're falling off. Delighting. Salaam alaikum. Missed you both last week, and glad to have you back. Question for Ariel. With Luciana's wedding rapidly approaching, do you have any advice you can give her to calm any nerves

or help her prepare for the biggest day of her life? Luciana, where's your honeymoon going to be? And if you take three personal things with you on the trip and nothing else, what would those items be? Thank you and happy to have you back. Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim friends. Yes. Salaam Alaikum, my friend. Well, I don't know if I need to give you any advice because I don't think you have any nerves.

You're cool as a kid. No, I don't. And I was thinking like you have all the people you're mr nerves aren't you wow geez louise what makes you say that i'm pretty cool too just i'm just you know it's yes i am pretty nervous okay what was okay so no nerves um honeymoon your whole life is thinking we're thinking south of France, you know, to Saint-Tropez, blah, blah, blah. Joie-le-Pin? What?

Saint-Tropez. Joie-le-Pin is a part of, is next to like Cannes. I don't know that well. But yeah, I want to go to all those areas. French Riviera, I think that's what it is. Beautiful. We haven't booked the flights yet. I highly recommend it.

Although you are going to be in a great location already. So I would say like- True. I wanted to go to Maldives, but it's rainy season in July. And then to go back to the US, to go to like, let's say Bora Bora is too far. So we're going to stay in Europe and do that instead. What was the third? Oh, three items.

Oh, and by the way, 2002, I was in the south of France, Chouin-le-Pin, and I got a kidney stone. And it was the worst pain of my life. I was in the hospital for two weeks. So just make sure you drink a lot of water when you're over there, okay? Okay, so let me say this. My dad had issues with kidney stones for many years. Yeah. And that was one of my biggest fears.

Dad and having appendicitis i never had it but i just have this fear so whenever i feel a pain i'm like this is the left or the right side because supposedly it's the right side for appendicitis right uh but anyway so he my dad had like issues with that one time like he had to have a catheter is that catheter oh no looks like a straw you gotta put it inside and leave it there for a while because one of the stones was inside his kidney and the kidney stopped working so he had to push it to make it go back stay there for a year for for almost a year or whatever months it was horrible but he was working in africa right? Where was the country exactly?

Kenya. He was in Kenya working for a couple months. And I went to see a psychic before he left. And she said, oh, tell your dad to go to the doctor. My dad was like, this is bullshit. He goes to Kenya, has a massive issue with the kidney stones, has to get like a surgery there. Oh, no. Luckily for him, yeah, the company paid for it, blah, blah, blah.

But it was one of like the specialists in this issue in the world that they happened to be there at that time. So, yeah, it's one of my biggest fears. Oh, my gosh. It was a long story, I guess. You went to the psychic? I mean, I don't go anymore, but I used to go every now and again to a psychic. Why?

Because I'm curious. Why would you go to a psychic? Because you want to know more than you know now. Should I take that job offer? You do that? No, not all the time. But I'm saying people go to psychics because they either have issues with love. Sure. They want to know about the future do you're feeling lonely like there's always there's always a why why would you do it sure um so that's why you've never been i'm what i'm weird

no i said you that you i'm just kidding no i said you have your life figured. Oh, I mean, I could see the appeal. When's the last time you went? Oh, I think right after my dad passed away. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, it was interesting.

Have you ever like tried to speak to your dad via psychic? No, no. But it was a weird story. So I don't know if I told you this before, but when my dad passed away was obviously like very emotional for me you know we go to Brazil I take like the next flight blah blah blah the next day I had dreams I had like this whole experience etc my roommate at the time on a Friday the day after she said hey I'm just checking on you I just wanted to say that you know I guess when my dad passed away, she felt like she missed her grandma that already passed away and went to see the psychic. And while she was in the middle of her consultation and she recorded that, uh, and send me the video

that the audio later, uh, she said, Hey, there is this man here that he's been bothering me a lot. I think he's a brand new spirit. Probably died like, you know, recently. I don't know because he's having a tough time communicating. He doesn't know how to do that yet. But he's feeling like pain in the arm. Like is that someone that had a heart attack? And she was like, oh my God, my roommate, her dad just passed away of a heart attack.

So she recorded the whole thing. And it was like, I actually believed it because, you know, there's no way for this lady to know. She mentioned a couple of things that only my dad would say. So I was like, it has to be him. So then after two weeks or after a month that my dad was passed away, I talked with the same lady, didn't say it was me didn't say i knew the roommate nothing like that and again like she said hey there's a late there's a woman there's a man here who do you want to talk to and i was like the man and then she kind of like connected me with my dad said a couple things and i was like oh this this is definitely my dad yeah no way yeah way. Yeah. I don't know. People, people might not believe this, but I do.

That's freaky stuff. Yeah. Wow. Okay. It was crazy. Yeah. He even like mentioned a story. Cause my dad, I was, my dad had three girls and he always wanted a boy, but I was always

like a tomboy. So whenever my dad was playing soccer, I was playing soccer. I was always, you know, following my dad around. And then we, we took this trip. My dad used to do this whenever we're like, let's say at a pool, I would jump. He would catch me from the water, you know. So we had this trip to like this area in Brazil and there was a little lake. And I remember we would go, you know, higher and higher, like in the rocks to jump and

fall in the water. So, she described this situation where like he was down there, like in the water asking me to jump and I was kind of like hesitant, but then eventually I did. So, it's a very specific thing for someone to say, you know, so, yeah. Wow. That is freaky. I believe it. All right, we move along. Chris, hello, friends. I'm in my mid-30s and cannot imagine getting married. I know Luciana is getting married soon. Why? Like, I feel many people in college and high school got married because everyone else is, and now they're all divorced. Maybe I'm going too deep. Thanks, Chris. I feel like you used to be Chris. You used to have the same mentality as Chris, right?

Yeah, true, pretty much. I never really thought about getting married. I guess it depends on the environment you grow up with. I know friends that had parents that were married forever and had a great relationship, so they wanted the same. My parents had issues, so maybe that's the reason I was always hesitant about it. But I kept hearing people saying people saying oh because when you meet the one you know you know when you know blah blah and i was like oh that's bullshit people do it for other reasons you know they've been dating for too long they're like okay it's time whatever but i

don't feel that anxiety anymore it's it's funny right after we got engaged i had a moment of a freak out i'm like oh my god what if not ready you know because then you you go from like being single to being the girl that just got engaged so you got engaged and then i went out with a couple girlfriends and literally before i was i even thought about saying something they would say oh this luciana she just got engaged and then all my conversations were about like the engagement, which was like awesome. But I felt like a little weird for a while, a while, I mean a week. And now I don't, I don't have the anxiety. So why do people do it? I mean, if you're in a good, really good relationship, you, you might not, right? You're in a bad relationship. It's not going to fix things.

Right. No, definitely not. Neither will kids. And not everybody gets divorced. I know people that have really good relationships, long-term relationships. So, sure, it's not easy. You have challenges, but you're going to face challenges either way, even if you're single. Are you the kind of person who always says, oh, this is my fiancé. Say hello to my fiancé. I'd like you to meet my...

How would you say if you're not a fiancé? Just like their name? Why do you have to give him a title i definitely say my fiance there's a whole side episode about that weird i'm gonna say oh this is jeff who's jeff could be anyone and i can say oh this is my boyfriend because he upgraded he is now a fiance sure yeah he did upgrade how do you say say, don't you say my wife or you just say her name? I usually just say my wife. No, I'm kidding.

Yeah, it's the same thing. What's the thing? No, that was a Borat joke. When you were engaged, I know who he is, but I don't know. You didn't see the movie? I think I have,

but a long time ago, the one that he had that terrible underwear. Yes, yes. Fantastic. I avoided saying fiancé as much as possible. Really? What would you say?

My girlfriend? My soulmate. Partner? Partner, yes. My partner? This is my partner. This is my soulmate. Did she introduce you as her fiancé

or did she talk to you as her fiancé? I don't think so either. I mean, it's been a while. 2008 was a long time ago. That's before they invented engagement. 15 years coming up here, Luciana. That's a big deal. 15 years.

Wow. It's 15 years. 15 years. 15 years. Yeah. Almost getting to 18. Lucky number. You learned that today.

Almost. Almost. Wow. We move along. Cole, glad to see you guys back. question this week is for luciana my apologies if you've been asked this already but what are some of the things regarding the female fight kits that you would change we've seen some mishaps with the female fight gear recently and the last thing a fighter should have to worry about is their gear possibly falling or failing them excuse me during a fight do you

think there are any updates to the venom gear that would help the fighters no i think he means the fighter kit i guess i'm confused like what the what the what the female fighters wear would you change anything it's not the uniform i'm just like am i yes it is a uniform yes what they wear in the fight i mean i have you heard from any i don't know no i never i never heard any complaints about it but i think maybe a lot of people do i'm a fighter in life no uh i can say like from a workout perspective you know you always want something like if you're running that is not going to like show anything. And down there, you don't want to have like chemical or, you know. So, sure, you can definitely always improve it.

But I can't talk for the fighters because I'm not wearing the same. What about the outfits that you guys wear? Have those evolved? Yeah, we have a new design for the past couple months. We got it. Every couple of years, we have an update people don't necessarily notice because it's you know it's similar colors and it was the same we try to get different ones but um it's a whole process of like approval and blah blah there's the fabric

these last ones um i've been having a couple more issues with them because they took the measurements not ufc i mean whoever whoever was hired to, to make them. And I don't know, they got it so wrong. So it's, it's been a thing, but, but yeah, I wish we could do, we could do like pants sometimes, or, you know, if it's cold, maybe long sleeve. Yeah, I'm sure. That's the look that people would like the hoodies, maybe sweatpants. Oh yeah. Pajamas pajamas could you imagine incredible i don't think that's the look that they're going for and i don't think the fans would appreciate it as much but all they really need to know is

what round it is hey i was just wondering you say it's going to be 15 years that you're married or yes or the whole relationship no just. Okay, so anniversaries. What do you count? You count when you started dating, when you got engaged, when you got married? Just married now. Just married. Do you remember? You have tough time like, oh, shoot.

No, I remember when we started dating and I remember when we got engaged. But the only one that we really acknowledge is the wedding. When is your anniversary? What day? October 12th. October 12th. So every October 12th, you remember. So October 12th in Brazil is a holiday.

Oh, really? It's a Catholic holiday. That's why we picked it. And also a children's day. A children's day? Yeah, children's day. When you're a kid, you always get a gift on that day. Wow.

It's a great day. I know. It's lovely. If your parents have the money to buy them, you don't get any gifts. Everyone just gets a gift for no reason? Yeah. It's a children's day. That's amazing.

We don't have that here. And you see all the Brazilians posting pictures of them when they were little. That's October 12th. Wow. Okay. It's a great day. Yours is going to be July 8th right no July 5th the day after the 4th of July so I can push for a trip every year because it's right yes by the way are people annoyed that they have to travel on now they actually love so we ask our friends and family before we booked it because the reason it's not like I was like oh sure let's do it on the 4th of July week.

4th of July is a fun holiday to have fun. Right. It's because the two villas that I wanted to use only had those dates together in July on that week. If not, I would have to get married the next year or like in the fall. I didn't want to like do it in the cold. So that's why. And then we asked our friends and everybody was like oh no i love it because this year fourth of july is on a tuesday that way you can leave like friday you know you have all those days to choose you know where when do i want to get there and because it's a holiday use less pto's so it's it's actually perfect it's genius oh that's

yeah it is genius um but what does pto stand for personal time off personal time off yeah uh kai bom dia ariel and luciana my question follows on from luciana talking about coachella last week if you could book your own dream festivals one festival with only dead artists and one festival with only a live artist who would be your three headliners obrigado oh wow definitely for me tupac biggie they would be in the dead artists can do they do rap at coachella i think they had it but i I skipped those. Wow. Yeah. Tupac Biggie for sure. Maybe.

I'm more like Elvis Presley. Elvis would be sick. Yeah. I mean, you could go all the way back there. That would be sick. Elvis Presley. John Lennon. The Beatles, The Fool, all of them together.

Oh, my God. Yeah. Jimi Hendrix. That would be fun. I could also do George Michael. michael george michael's great simon and garfunkel simon and garfunkel no what's no uh michael jackson michael jackson yeah uh drake drake drake's alive yeah no he He said alive and. Oh, the alive. Okay, alive.

Then there's a whole new thing. If it's a fast flow, I want electronic, happy electronic music. So I'm getting Roof is a Soul. I'm doing. No words? No lyrics? No, they sing. They sing.

it's not too far but it'll be Monday Wednesday when do you New York, actually, right? How far is it? It's not too far, but it'll be Monday, Wednesday. When do you get in? I think it's Thursday night. Ah, now you can't make it. But I have the way. I can do it after the weigh-ins. No, no.

My show is Monday, Wednesday. Yeah, I'm definitely not there Monday, Wednesday. I say that I get there Thursday. When do you go back? Sunday. It's always that time for me. So you missed the whole thing. So I guess the answer to that question is no.

Whatever. Could have made it happen. You didn't want me there anyway. That would have been good. That would have been fun. We could have had Charles join us and get the scoop. I know. I know. Here's my other question. What is your go-to comfort meal when you're feeling down? Keep up the great work. Congrats on the wedding. Luciana and Kendra writes, I hope Ariel work. Congrats on the wedding. Luciana and Kendra writes, I hope Ariel

makes an appearance at the wedding. Bad news, Kendra. They didn't meet my demands. What's the comfort food? Burger. I can also add whatever Brazilian stuff that has cheese bread and coxinha.

Pasta. I go with pizza. Pizza, number one. Pizza. I used to do pizza every Sunday night. Oh, me too. From Domino's? True, yeah.

Yeah, for a while in Brazil, Domino's and pizza were big for some reason. They were big, yeah. Yeah. In Canada too. And here there's this place called Pizzana I like a lot. But I don't order pizza. So I live by Abikini, which is a famous street here in Venice. Yes, Abikini Fight Club.

Have you been there? Yes. You have? No, I mean, it's a bar. You see the sign. Oh, I thought it was something else. There's this bar. It's like literally two, three blocks from where I live now.

Anyway, so there are two places that have like decent pizza. One is Jelena. So, yeah, but I like getting just a slice. Like Jeff doesn't eat pizza, which like who doesn't like pizza? Why not? It's like not liking chocolate or ice cream. He's too worried about his physique. No, he's just not.

He said when he was younger in college, he would eat pizza. He would eat pizza. Now he's just like, it's empty carbs. What's the point? I like burgers better. Empty carbs? Who says empty carbs? What are you talking about?

It's like, it's God's gift to our taste buds. I know. I know. What is it that you don't like that everybody says? Why? How come you don't like that? That's a great question. To me, it's like coffee.

Yeah, you're anti-coffee. A rare steak. I hate, like, I like it well done. We would not like the food at my wedding then. Not perfect. One of the courses, one of the courses, we're actually worried. It tastes amazing. And the softness of the meat, that's the perfect cook for that type of meat um meat but i'm worried that people that that are picky they're gonna be like oh i can't eat that what is it like super raw yeah even for me i was like i don't know this is too raw but then i tried and i was like oh this is actually amazing if you could like just put like a you know cover your eyes right wow amazing um can i tell you what my go-to pizza topping was

when i would order every sunday green olives has to be green not black has to be green and pineapple oh why did you have to throw the pineapple so good the sweet and the salty i don't get it no ham no ham just pineapple and. Sweet and salty. I don't get the fruit. It's either savory, like sweet or, you know, salty for me. I can't mix stuff. The people that put like fruit in the salad, why? Oh, I love it. Mango.

No. No, strawberries. Do you actually eat your pizza with all the dressings and sauces and stuff, like ranch, whatever? No, no, that's. It's so weird. That's weirdo stuff. Okay, so my fiance loves all sorts of sauces and stuff like ranch whatever no no that's that's so weird that's weird okay so my fiance loves all sorts of sauces and dressing so he goes to a restaurant he's like do you have a yoli give me yoli ketchup and this and this and that no no no i don't like anything in my salad my food if i'm eating a salad it's just a little bit of olive oil if that you know like

lemon maybe yeah that's it no the people that dip their pizza and ranch and all that i mean psychos it's it's a it's an american thing i i don't know i blame tv dinners you know oh yeah yeah yeah do they do that with tv dinners i guess i feel like you're watching that and you see the oh yeah and you see people do that. Yeah, that's weirdo stuff. L. Sparks, hi, my friends. My question for both of you is what is a favorite quote you might reference when life is challenging? Mine is, be where your feet are. I like that. As a reminder to stay present in the moment and not stress about the future or the past.

I have a lot of these. This too shall pass. That is a good one. You can use it if it's a bad time. You can use it if pass that is a good one you can use it if it's a bad time you can use it if it's a good time so you can enjoy it

because it's gonna pass you that is true that is very true I like that I never really thought of it from a positive perspective but yes I agree with that

what about don't count the days make the days count true have a good day have a great day oh that's from a movie that just seems like something you say guy oh is it which video game mario super mario it's with ryan renis i think it's a nice guy

oh yes yes i think it says don't have a good day have a great day or a nice day something like that um i saw a nice quote yesterday why don't I have to stop doing this you know like I have a tough time focusing on something and then I see and I'm like oh I really like this and instead of like just copying it and I say this to myself copy it and save it no I'm like I'll do it later

and then I forget I don't know where it is it's gone forever one that I kind of like based my whole early life on was 80% of success is just showing up. You may not want to go, but just show up. Good things happen. You meet someone, you do something, you get inspired, just show up.

And so you always try to show up. Never say no to anything. If you're in the wrong place in the wrong time, then you would wish you haven't shown up. Sure, but it's more about like opportunities. That's very negative of me. Yes. I'm talking about like opportunities being presented to you you know things like that just say yes now you can say

no if you're older and true you're not gonna know unless you try it right didn't know i so someone said this to me didn't know you already have so you know what else can what worse can happen right let's say you want to get a job or you want to ask the girl out. You already have to know. Unless you go and ask, you will not get the confirmation. And if it's still a no, you're like, okay, nothing changed. But if it is a yes, you're like, oh, I'm glad I tried. I'm glad I asked.

That's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point. I like that. There was another one that i thought of just now but now i'm forgetting it i mean all these things you try i'm not a big like reader of self-help books and things like that and quotes i just kind of like to find things and oh there's one control you can control because if you can't control it like what's the point of trusting about controlling that's true yeah uh the only constant in life is change the road to success is always under construction

i mean we could go on and on we could go yeah yeah you know like those truck quotes do they do this in u.s in brazil if you're driving like you're traveling and driving you always see like those huge trucks and people like put something like oh like the bumper stickers yeah and people sometimes put like a motivation quotes or funny stuff by the way i wanted to say i'm sorry my condolences um i know it's a bit of a touchy subject, but I noticed that you lost your blue check. Oh, on Twitter, I did. Are you paying for it? No, no, I'm not.

Wait, you haven't lost it? Well, I lost it for a day, and then it came back. I think they went around and were like, okay, who are our most highest profile? Wait, who do I have to? Elon Musk? Oh, I mean. Who do I have to complain about this

I thought it was an even fair process everybody loses it and unless you're paying for it I did not pay it just came back and by the way can I tell you something the privileges of having it now are fantastic longer tweets editing

the tweets I mean it's a whole new world. I did think about that. I was like, I had a feeling that my tweets were longer. And I was trying to post them. No, not you, because you lost the blue check. And now here's the thing. Like, I see yesterday you tweeted me, never saw it, because you don't have the blue check.

I don't see it anymore. So it just went into the same pile as all the other riff-raff. The common folk. It's just ridiculous. I mean, I think you have to have a certain number. That's the thing. Okay. You're famous. It just, I think, has to be, I don't know what that number is. Let's see.

Whatever. I don't need it. I don't need all that attention. Well, if it makes you feel any better, Brittany doesn't have one either. know everybody lost what i feel like and no one wants to pay for that i'm like why what's the point of paying for the subscription it's not like it's netflix that i i get something from it i get in and i have access to like the tweets whatever sure by the way what is that thing for you and the other there's oh don't even get me started on this showing me stuff i am not following any of those people why do i hate it getting those and it's all about politics i mean and

it's like those controversial stuff that i don't necessarily disagree it's horrible but i'm like it's all day long by the way for me it's not even that for me it's all street fights all i see are like people getting sucker party at least no i don't it's it's all street fights all i see are like people getting entertaining at least no i don't it's it's like every time i go on it takes me to that feed mine is like go woke go broke stuff and yeah are you woke you're not woke right no no we're not going down that path we're not quite there yet uh are you are you uh Cancel me. Are you, when you introduce yourself, do you say, hi, my name is Luciana, she slash her? No. Are you?

Yes, I say, hello, everyone. My name is Ariel. A man of the people. Yes, I say him slash. Are you a human? He. A unicorn? I don't know.

I don't know. What are you? I just wasn't, I wasn't sure. A unicorn, I would you i just wasn't i wasn't sure a unicorn i would i would go with that i just wasn't sure like where you but yes uh the for you is something that uh it's not really for me honestly it's not it's for every it's what what what he said the twitter thinks that i like i always wonder like the algorithm is is reading me wrong maybe maybe not it is weird i'll tell you what i've been liking lately tiktok i've actually been liking it it's very wholesome that you created a yes are you

actually posting or you have someone making the content because you don't know how to edit the videos yes that is 100 because that's precisely why i don't use it thank you to my friend spencer who who makes it he makes the videos the the trailers for our show too and they're very good guy yes he's the best by the way don't don't whoever is doing the the main picture here get me like a you know i know help your girl like i know the problem is we're not using like we're not using like high-tech web cameras here so this quality but he actually suggested if we take a selfie of ourselves selfie selfie of yourself, maybe the quality will be better. So we could try that. My background here is I don't have a fake library.

Yeah. I need to do that, that Zoom background. No, don't do that. You also need a blue checkmark for that? There's certain qualifications. You're right. You're right. You're just in an empty room here. I can't believe they kept yours without charging you. Yeah, there's certain qualifications. You're right. You're right. You're just in an empty room here. But no, TikTok. I can't believe they kept yours without charging you. Unbelievable.

It went away and then it came back. And now I feel very special. Did you feel like a winner? I'm like, huh. Kind of, yeah. I didn't have to pay for it. Now, do you keep looking at people and like, oh, they also lost it. Oh, yeah.

That's the first thing I noticed. The UFC still has it? Dana still has it? They all have it? Well, I wouldn That's the first thing I noticed. The UFC still has it? Dana still has it? They all have it? Well, I wouldn't know about Dana because I'm blocked. But the other accounts maybe, yes, they do. Not a lot of the fighters, to be honest. And, you know, I'm not into like different classes.

Is that because I am foreigner? No, I think it's, you know, I think it's the number. I think it's the followers. Maybe on Instagram they have 70 something thousand listen you know it's not a competition

for years it's not a competition well you're more active on the other platforms it's not I'm not trying to make you feel bad I'm actually not that active

if you go to my my Instagram I post stories every now and again but it's been months since the last time I actually posted something on the timeline

do you need Spencer to help you with your social media i know spencer saved me you know yes i mean he's pretty expensive though is the problem is he he's pretty expensive spencer is expensive uh he's he's uh tremendous though so he's been posting i told him it's too much time for me all this stuff and he has been doing a fantastic job how do you find these people or they offer free services i mentioned it on my show and he sent me a message and he said he would love to help free services no not free what are you talking about i pay oh you're not paying for the blue check mark so i no longer expect you to no come on what are you talking about i pay everyone um and so i'm taking back so is this what happened i sent you the 180 thinking like you know i'm trying to get ahead of it this is that and you guys were

probably mocking me this no we were not we were not wow first of all it was a token invite we never thought i was coming no that is that is not true. That is crazy. You were invited, you know. You knew I wasn't coming. And then I sent you this gift. I still have room if you want to come. From the bottom of my heart. And then I'm mocked for it. Wow.

I didn't mock you. I was just curious because it's not like it's, you know. A common number? Even, yeah, 200 or like it's 180. Why? So you're saying it was it was 20 short of what no that is not what i'm saying but it makes you think why what's what's the the meaning behind this because i also said to like a month and a half or so ago so you've been waiting to ask

this question it's been bothering you no i was going to i knew i knew the moment was going to I knew the moment was going to come and you know it's just the destiny of the you know people deserve to know they deserve to know well they didn't have to know how much I gave ask the people let us know in the comments below was $182 cheap for a wedding that you weren't

really invited to but more of a token invite because I made a joke on the air should I have given more or did I go above and beyond? And you are all very impressed with how generous I am. Let us know in the comments. And by the way-

I don't think it was cheap. No, I'm just saying. The great thing about this conversation, next week, we're going to do this live on the channel and people are- Well, if you have the time, if you don't cancel yeah that is as far as i know it's like oh i'm busy monday to wednesday it's very busy and i
