[Ashton]

Presenting Nightbitch, starring Amy Adams and based on the best selling novel by Rachel Yoder.

[Alex Earl]

A woman pauses her career to be a stay at home mom.

[Ashton]

But soon her new domesticity takes a surreal turn. Critics rave Nightbitch is a daring smart film and a wickedly funny satire of modern motherhood. Amy Adams delivers a brilliant performance, her most fearless work yet in this endearing.

[Alex Earl]

Love letter to the journey of finding yourself again.

[Ashton]

And is now nominated for a Golden Globe award for best actress in a comedy. Nightbitch is streaming only on Hulu this Friday.

[Alex Earl]

Well, it's not actually my birthday yet. We're recording this intro right now during our Basel week and I baszled way too hard last night.

[Ashton]

You've been baszling way too hard all week.

[Alex Earl]

I don't know. I think it's because when you're running around from these events, you're not eating a proper dinner and that's the scary thing. And then you go to these events and it's social things and people are like, let's take shots. So now I'm turning 24. Okay. I'm getting really old and I feel like getting really. I really think shots are out for me. I don't think they suck. I don't like them. And my mom when we were growing up always was like, don't take shots, don't take shots. And I was always like, you're such a loser.

[Ashton]

I used to think shots were drugs just because of how she would talk.

[Alex Earl]

About my mom was like, they are poisonous. But they do because you don't realize. Oh, oh my God. This is a boring start to the episode.

[Ashton]

You're acting like we're not gonna be taking shots.

[Alex Earl]

I just had a little bit of bad.

[Ashton]

Alex is just a hungover.

[Alex Earl]

I'm just like, I'm never doing. I'm lying to all of you. But I am having this nice margarita right now to start this episode so that I can recover from last night. You know who else I saw last night? John.

[Ashton]

Oh, really? I didn't see him.

[Alex Earl]

Really? He was also looking like he was basiling too hard.

[Ashton]

I think everyone's baseline a little too hard.

[Alex Earl]

Everyone's baseline a little too hard this week. But I feel like. Well, honestly, just to be candid with you guys, I've tried to get Ashton to talk about the status of her relationship or non relationship. We have recorded this probably four or five times now. And we just keep cutting it out because Ashton's like, I'm too scared to talk about anything. Just because Ashton's all like, she doesn't want drama.

[Ashton]

Yeah. Which I still. I'm like, do you see me?

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, she's getting nervous. And I don't want drama either. But I also think at the end of the day, like, you have to tell people what's going on in your life. And I now see there's all this stuff on Tick tock.

[Ashton]

That's the thing, though. They're talking. There is no drama.

[Alex Earl]

It ended up ending amicably. But the thing is, I feel like people thought that you were dating and then they see stuff of him online or him, like, talking to girls, and then they're like, oh, my God, Ashton, you're being cheated on. Yeah, that. And then I get showed for you.

[Ashton]

And I'm like, yeah, I just hoping, like, not saying anything long enough. People get the hint.

[Alex Earl]

I feel like they have gotten. They have.

[Ashton]

I feel like.

[Alex Earl]

Nonetheless, I just feel like you needed. Well, yeah, I forced her. I was like, I just think you should say that because then at least it's out in the open so people can stop tagging you and stuff.

[Ashton]

Yeah. But there's like, no hate.

[Alex Earl]

No. And the Claire Bl Fam.

[Ashton]

But more importantly, my birthday. We're gonna be celebrating your birthday.

[Alex Earl]

I also want to do a vlog at the end of this of my birthday trip because you guys are not prepared. I'm turning 24. You know when, like, someone plans something for their birthday and it's like, such a force? Like, I feel like last year it was like, we went out to a club and it's a lot of fun. But then I'm like, I feel bad, like, forcing everyone See, I am getting old and mature. I'm like, I feel bad forcing everyone sometimes to, like, go out or do something or, like, you get invited to stuff and you're like, oh, I have to go to their birthday thing.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

You know, I never wanted to feel like that. So I was like, maybe we do something, like, more chill. So I was like, we should go to Key West. Key west is the most magical place on this earth. Have you ever been?

[Ashton]

I went for, like, when we were there for Mother's Day and, like, drove through, but that doesn't really count. I've never gone out in Key West.

[Alex Earl]

It literally is just like a place of its own. And it's the most fun place on earth. It's just very, like, chill beach town vibes, but just, like, funky. Like, everyone there, I just feel like, is just old and chilling and living life and, like, no one cares. I feel like there's no worries in the world there. And we've always had our most crazy, cryptic nights out in Key West. So I was like, maybe we do a little trip.

[Ashton]

Yeah, but you're like, I love how you're like, yeah, we're just gonna do something chill. We're just gonna go to Key West. And you're like, I have had the craziest.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, but we're only going out the one day. So my plan is we're all gonna drive from Miami to Key west, which is like a two or three hour drive. I might want to skydive on the way there. Could be fun.

[Ashton]

That's crazy. How are you gonna get the cars out there, though?

[Alex Earl]

What do you mean?

[Ashton]

Don't you, like, fly and then jump?

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, there's a right when you're driving to Key West. I did this with Kristen one time. You just pull over on the side of the road. There's like a little. We just walked in, we're like, hey, can we skydive? And they take you up and it's so fun.

[Ashton]

I love skydiving.

[Alex Earl]

I honestly didn't like it. I felt like I was choking the whole time.

[Ashton]

I.

[Alex Earl]

And I was so scared that I was like, this isn't worth it.

[Ashton]

Again, skydiving is really fun, but, like.

[Alex Earl]

You didn't feel like you were plummeting to your death the whole time?

[Ashton]

No, I like, you know when people are always like, talk about, like, natural adrenaline high.

[Alex Earl]

Like, I felt the adrenaline after is great, but during it, I was like, no, I'm going down.

[Ashton]

The guy, like, had, like, a GoPro, like, taking pictures the whole time, and Every picture I'm like cheesing from like ear to ear. I'm like, this is so awesome.

[Alex Earl]

That didn't happen for me. And they do like the photos where everyone's throwing up this little like shaka thing with their hands or like a peace sign and they're like, woohoo. Like love falling through the sky. It's my favorite thing on earth. My photos were literally me. I have to insert them right now. Choking on the air, choking on my hair. My shoe almost flew off. And then I'm like, what if this man that is strapped to me that I literally met five seconds ago just doesn't pull this little string? Then we die.

[Ashton]

I went first out of my whole group. It was really scary, but so fun.

[Alex Earl]

I think I went second or first, I don't know. But honestly, it was a lot of fun. Maybe we'll try it again if we're feeling like.

[Ashton]

Yeah, you're saying you're hating it but.

[Alex Earl]

You wanted to get it. I didn't like it, but it really sets the mood for like a good weekend. Like I'm a imagine just flying into your birthday party. Plummeting out of the sky into my birthday party. This year I really just want the vibes to be like summer house fun. Everyone mumble jumbled together. So I think we'll go out to like a chill dinner Friday night. I think we stay and we do something more wholesome. Maybe we'll play like Uno or something Friday night. And I love Uno, so I'm gonna force everyone to play Uno. Then Saturday, this is where things are getting crazy. I think we wake up breakfast. Oh, I didn't tell you guys my theme. My theme is 24 at the shore and I really want it to be like Jersey Shore trashy. So I want everyone to bring their trashiest, trashiest outfits. Neon tank tops, cheetah print bras. Yeah. Fur boots, like the rhinestone sunglasses and hats. And the reason that we ended up doing a theme was because I knew that we'd be going out in Key West. And I was like, well, I mean, I always love to dress up and I feel like it's my birthday. So I was like, I can't wear, I can't wear like a dress. And heels in Key west just wouldn't be the vibe. So then I was like, well, what's something else I can do? And I was trying to think of themes, like maybe glitter. And then I was like, wait, we can dress like so trashy.

[Ashton]

I need to go shopping though.

[Alex Earl]

I know. I still don't know what I'm wearing yet, but I did get these really fun, hot pink boots, so hopefully they come in time. And Saturday morning, I want us to wake up. We're gonna go on this. They're these little tiki boats.

[Ashton]

Are they, like, the circle ones?

[Alex Earl]

Yes. So they are literally like. Imagine like, a little tiki bar at, like, a tiki restaurant, and it just. It just floats in the water.

[Ashton]

And we're gonna get no one driving it, right?

[Alex Earl]

No, there is.

[Ashton]

I don't think so.

[Alex Earl]

They just float.

[Ashton]

I feel like I've seen them, and there's just, like, no one in it.

[Alex Earl]

That you can't just, like, let a boat with a full bar on it.

[Ashton]

Well, that's why I was always so, like, enamored by them. I was like, what is going on?

[Alex Earl]

No, but that's. It literally is just floating tiki bars in the ocean, so that we're gonna tie up with those, and I think we'll do, like, mimosas or something fun during the day, and then at night is we're gonna kick it into Jersey Shore trash mode. And I want to have, like, a ratchet pregame at the house where it's just, like, we're making a mess. Like, we're having so much fun. If you're my Airbnb owner, we're not making.

[Ashton]

She's like, no, it's gonna be super clean.

[Alex Earl]

No, but, like, I just want Alex.

[Ashton]

Misses, like, college pre games, like, house pre games with, like, red solo cups.

[Alex Earl]

And just like, yeah, I need that. Alex is like, that.

[Ashton]

Wouldn't that be so cool? I'm like, yeah, I do that every day.

[Alex Earl]

I need a little bit more of that in my life, and I think.

[Ashton]

Alex just wants to go back to college.

[Alex Earl]

The other good thing about this house is that it's walkable distance to the bars. So I feel like. I mean, what's better than, like, us being able to go walk together down the street, like, drink in hand with all my girls and our cheetah print and our fur, like, it's gonna be the best night ever. And the other good thing about Key west, they're probably. The bar is gonna have no one there besides, like, old, random people and, like, oh, my God. So it's just gonna be like, we can just do whatever we want.

[Ashton]

I'm really excited.

[Alex Earl]

I'm so excited. Excited. I need this in my life. I love birthdays.

[Ashton]

You really do. I love birthdays, too. But honestly, not really, because I just get so anxious, like, when it's like, all the attention's on me. I always get so worried that, like, everyone else is gonna have fun. And then I'm like, if I planned something, I'm always like, oh, God.

[Alex Earl]

You never plan your birthday, though. I know. That's why.

[Ashton]

That's why I've been making you plan my birthdays for the past, like, three years. Because I get so anxious and I'm like, I can't. Like, I just. It's too. I get too anxious.

[Alex Earl]

I love planning a birthday party. I did all the planning myself for this, and I love putting it together. I think she's really good at it.

[Ashton]

Be a party planner.

[Alex Earl]

Do you know I used to want to be a party planner?

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

When I was in high school, that's what I would draw up is like, when we had those classes, it's like, what do you want to be in 10 years? I wanted to be a party planner. And I'm kind of doing that.

[Ashton]

Remember when you threw me a surprise 16th birthday party? And, like, I really just, like, didn't want to go out that night. I was like, I'm not feeling it. And you're like, you're going out? And you told me we were going to this, like, guy from our high schools, like, basement party. And I was like, I'm just really not feeling it. You finally convinced me to go. And I remember I put on, like, jeans and, like a purple crop top. And you're like, you're not wearing that. Wear this. And you whip out, like, a black leather mini skirt and like a black lace bodysuit. I was like, alex, we're going to a basement party at this guy's house. Like, I am not wearing that. And you're like, put this on right now. And I think we got in a full blown fight to where you had to eventually.

[Alex Earl]

I was like, what are you wearing? Because I knew that there was people downstairs waiting for her. I was throwing her a surprise party and she wasn't dressing up. I was like, it's your birthday. We have to dress up.

[Ashton]

Yeah. But, like, it was. First of all, it was my 16th birthday.

[Alex Earl]

That's a big one.

[Ashton]

I was just like, no. And then eventually we were fighting so much, she was like, I'm throwing a surprise party for you downstairs. Get dressed right now. And I was like, alex, if you put me in that outfit for my surprise party, I would be so pissed. I was like, you know, I wanted to wear that one pink dress you've had in your closet that, like, I.

[Alex Earl]

Don'T know what you're talking about that.

[Ashton]

One that I wore, it was like the little like frilly, like romper dress with like the white lace overlay. I was obsessed with it. And I was like, I want to wear that on my 16th birthday. And you were trying to put me. It was a total opposite vibe of what you were trying to dress me in. And I was like, it just.

[Alex Earl]

I mean, what. You never go wrong with a little mini skirt.

[Ashton]

It was. No. And the lace body. No. We're just, we're different in that way.

[Alex Earl]

Sorry.

[Ashton]

But that's why I love you.

[Alex Earl]

I was trying.

[Ashton]

You did try. And you did great.

[Alex Earl]

To ru you a surprise.

[Ashton]

No. And it was really fun, but I just think it was really funny that you were trying to put me in this outfit that I would just.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah. And then she was like, if you actually put me in that, I would be so mad at you.

[Ashton]

I was like, alex, I would have been so upset. I would have been more upset than I would have if I wore the jeans.

[Alex Earl]

But I'm actually really excited to turn 24 because I feel like my other friends that are turning 24, like, I feel like that feels so old. I can't believe I'm turning 24. For some reason I have been or been like thinking that I'm 24 for the past like three months. When people ask me how old I am and I say 23, I'm like, wait, I'm so young.

[Ashton]

Yeah, 23 does sound really young because you seem like much more mature than 23.

[Alex Earl]

I just think it's because I'm like, put in a lot of situations with work, especially where, like, I'm not doing anything that a normal 23 year old is doing. So then when people ask me my age, I'm like, whoa. Like I'm. You're only 23.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

So we forget. We forget. Give me some grace.

[Ashton]

She's just a little girl.

[Alex Earl]

I'm just a little baby. But I'm so ready to be 24. And like, for some reason, 24, like.

[Ashton]

It sounds more mature.

[Alex Earl]

It sounds like sexy.

[Ashton]

It kind of.

[Alex Earl]

I think it's a sexy.

[Ashton]

It's the even numbers.

[Alex Earl]

That's why I like, like the way it looks.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

And I feel like I feel a certain way. And like, honestly, I don't think I liked 23 year old Alex. Like, she was fine, but I feel like she was very confused.

[Ashton]

I feel like she was great. I love 23 year old Alex.

[Alex Earl]

No, because. Oh, I mean, I. She was fine. No, she wasn't. I don't like her really?

[Ashton]

You know who I love? 21 year old.

[Alex Earl]

Ashton. How old are you now?

[Ashton]

21.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, I just feel like for me, 23 was a big, like, transition period and I was figuring a lot out. And I think I also just made some wrong choices, which is fine. I feel like it was like a big choices, but I feel like it was a big learning year. Like, this year I've learned so much. And I mean, do you believe in astrology?

[Ashton]

Yeah, I kind of do because I.

[Alex Earl]

Had this girl read my birth chart for my interview that I did with Cosmopolitan last year.

[Ashton]

I want to do that.

[Alex Earl]

No, no.

[Ashton]

So bad. I want my birth chart read. So.

[Alex Earl]

So no one told me that this was literally going to be a full blown psychic reading that would be accurate. Like, everything that this girl said has come true. She was like, you're going to be going through so many contracts this year. Like, she would tell me specific dates that I was gonna, like, sign different big deals that were gonna, like, change the trajectory of my life. And it would. She would say, like, oh, in June, you're gonna sign something. And I was like, I have no idea. I talked to her probably in, like, January, and in June, I ended up signing something. She was like, in the fall, something's going to happen with your boyfriend and his career, and you're going to really need to be there for him and the fall. Like, what's going to happen?

[Ashton]

Wait, yeah, she said that? Yes.

[Alex Earl]

Wait.

[Ashton]

I guess I never read this article, but that's crazy.

[Alex Earl]

I mean, that part wasn't in the article, but that was like, she told it to me offline and I think we should have her on the podcast. I do another one because I need to know how 25 is going to go.

[Ashton]

But I'm also like, do I want to know?

[Alex Earl]

I am a person that wants to know. Because then it makes more sense when I'm like, oh, at least it's like, written in the stars.

[Ashton]

Yeah, that's what I always think. Like, everything that's meant to happen is, like, already happening, you know?

[Alex Earl]

Yeah. So I don't know. I think everything does happen for a reason. And I'm a big believer in that. Oh, fuck. That's another thing I did this week at Art Basel is I was talking to someone and I just was over sharing. Oversharing way too much, got emotional. I'm crying to this person. I haven't even talked to this person in like a year and a half. And I'm trying to be nice. I don't know who Art, Basil, Alex, is, but she's been crazy and we're gonna channel that energy for Key West.

[Ashton]

I'm so excited.

[Alex Earl]

No Key west, like, and Jake's coming, so obviously we're gonna have to have him on the pod. But I think we should set up the podcast like confessionals in the Jersey Shore, don't you think?

[Ashton]

Yes.

[Alex Earl]

Right?

[Ashton]

Yes, absolutely. That would be so funny. And we're all like a little tipsy.

[Alex Earl]

So I think if anyone, if everyone is listening to the podcast from this point on, I think you should switch over to watch it because I'm gonna do a full birthday vlog for Key west and bring you guys along and I want to have a confessional and see how it goes. Should we go to Key West? Absolutely. Okay, let's do one more. Cheers. And we're signing off to Key West. Clink 24 at the shore, here we come. Be merry, be bright, be love.

Oh, this is beautiful. So cute.

[Jake]

Happy birthday.

[Alex Earl]

Happy birthday. I don't even know what happened last night. Things got a little crazy. But today is the big day. We have tiki boat at 12 to 4 and then we're going out and bar hopping after. So we're gonna get coffee right now. And Jake and Ashton are coming here today. So this is my coffee outfit of the day and I'm very excited. I met so many great people last night. I also got to go up on stage last night on the Dirt Bags, which I will insert the footage now. But that was the best thing ever. But my friends DM this band. I had no, it's our favorite band in Key west, but they DM this band to sing me happy birthday. They gave me a crown and a wand on stage and a sash, and it actually was the coolest thing I've ever done in my entire life. So we're on today too. Things are only gonna go more downhill from here. So welcome to our floating tiki bars. Is. Is actually the most perfect thing I've ever seen in my entire life.

[Jake]

Music is about to be blasted.

[Alex Earl]

Oh my God. I can't believe this is real. This is. I've always wanted to go on one of these. Wait, wait, we made it to qs. I'm sweating right now.

[Ashton]

I'm a little tipsy.

[Alex Earl]

I'm a little tipsy too.

[Jake]

Like, boy, I'm getting there.

[Alex Earl]

The key West. Okay, so Ash and Jake have really yet to experience Duvall street in Key West. It's the best place ever. It's the best place ever.

[Ashton]

I'm so excited.

[Jake]

Have you been there before? You've been there in college?

[Alex Earl]

Yes. We go for Fantasy Fest, so we're about to go bar hopping right now. We're all dressed to the theme for Jersey Shore, and I have never been more excited for anything in my life. We went on this tiki boat today, and Ashton didn't make it on the tiki Tiki boat.

[Jake]

You know what? God came down to you and gave you a little bit.

[Alex Earl]

Yes, God said. God said. Wait.

[Ashton]

No. Because I was so upset that I didn't make it on the team. I was, like, literally distraught.

[Alex Earl]

Well, first of all, Asha was supposed to come here Friday night. She changed her flight and then yells at me that she's missing this boat.

[Ashton]

I didn't yell at you. I was like, wait, you never sent the itinerary?

[Alex Earl]

And I did.

[Ashton]

And then I checked and she did, and I just never. I was like, you never sent it to me? But I realized I just never saw it because I didn't know it sent as a file, so it just looked like a random text. So I thought you sent, like, a picture earlier.

[Jake]

That the boat was gonna be something wrong was when we had to split up.

[Alex Earl]

So we had two different, like, tiki boats and ours. There was one that was, like, a physical bar with, like, bar seats, and then was one that just laid, like, a tiki hut on top with regular boat seating. So they were two. We get on. It's actually nice out. Yep, two different boats. I get on, and I'm like, oh, my God. Wow. Like, this is so nice out. So if the vibes were, like, on a thousand, like, everyone was freaking out. Like, it couldn't have been better. All of a sudden, we start, like, cruising off like you do on a boat, like, when they kind of, like, cruise off and go somewhere. We're, like, holding on, and it's kind of like. It's getting crazy. Like, this thing's going so fast.

[Ashton]

Can I tell you, though, like, I'm in the group chat with everyone in this house this weekend. So I'm not here, but I'm seeing these texts, and everyone's like, I said.

[Alex Earl]

Are we being kidnapped?

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

Because it got to a point where all of a sudden, we're holding onto this tiki bar for our dear life. Like, everyone. He didn't say, like, put your phones away. Like, put your bags away. Like, like, we're flinging. And the other boat sent a video of us, and I have to overlay it right now.

[Ashton]

Picture. It's a picture. It's a live photo. It's just like, a floating tiki in the water, and the water's, like, splashing on it, and you click the live.

[Alex Earl]

And it's, like, going 200 miles per hour.

[Jake]

No, I think it was also, we're, like, 20 minutes into. Yeah, no, no, how much longer? And he. And we think he's gonna be like, we're pulling up. He goes, 20, 30 minutes.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, no, he. We're on this thing for already, like, 20 minutes. And I was like, wait, how much longer? And he was like. I was like, how much longer is, like, this happening? And, like, majority 85% on this tiki boat was spent with us just holding on for our dear life.

[Ashton]

So did the tiki boat, like, take you to.

[Alex Earl]

No, just wait. Oh, just wait. Oh, just wait. Just wait for it. So we were flying on this tiki boat, and he says, like, 20 minutes. And I'm checking my time, and, like, all the other girls are texting us from the other boat, and they were like, hey, like, is everything okay? Like, are. Where are we going? Like, we got to a point where, like, you couldn't see land, like, at all.

[Jake]

Like, yeah, it was.

[Alex Earl]

And the cell service was going out. And I like, wait, where are we going? And I was like. I thought we just were, like, hopping on a tiki bar and, like, sitting right outside Key west on the water. But, like, on a little bar, we were blazing for, like, another country. And I was like, where are we going then? It's 20 minutes. So I'm like, okay. Like, are we close? Because I didn't see land, like, in sight. And he was like, I underestimated. Probably, like, 20 minutes more. Okay? So by the time we get there, I'm, first of all, shaking because I'm like, oh, my God, are we dying? Second of all, I'm frozen, like, to the core. Like, my hands are purple, my hair. Everything has flown off of me. I'm, like, zippered up in my little juicy couture sweatsuit.

[Jake]

And also the water, like, everyone's like, florida water is warm, okay? They're like, it's like a hot tub. Like, it's so warm. It's crystal clear. And I, like, jump in. It is in ice.

[Alex Earl]

It was. Okay. So we finally pull up, and it was just like, imagine, like, the Everglades in Florida. Just, like, kind of like, marsh. It wasn't like, land. There was this, like, marsh in the middle, like, that. We drove 45 minutes for him. We pull up, and I was like, oh, okay. Like, no one has cell service. I was like, okay. Like, so we drove here, and we meet up with this other boat that, like, they were friends with. And it was so obvious that they just, like, took us here because, like.

[Ashton]

They want to meet up with their friends.

[Jake]

They were all friends.

[Alex Earl]

We pull up, and there's a. A group of guys, like, hey, whatever.

[Jake]

They were all playing fingers.

[Ashton]

They were playing what?

[Jake]

And Alex looks at the boat and goes, they want to play fingers.

[Alex Earl]

I go, we can play. I go, we can play fingers, too. Like, what? We spent the day with these random men, and we were in this, like, water. So then we had no other choice. I was like, we just have to get drunk right now.

[Ashton]

Like.

[Alex Earl]

And I kept looking at Jake, and I was like, running on the beach. I was like, this is so.

[Jake]

Yeah. And I would. We were. We were. She was making, like, her iguana juice.

[Alex Earl]

So I have a new term, and it's called. And I'm gonna use it on here because it sounds a little bit more like, ladylike. I feel. Iguana. So iguana. We got these drinks at dinner last night and when neither of you were there, but they gave us these drinks, and it was, when I tell you, just, like, a full cup of tequila with, like, a splash of lime. And it was called the Night of the Iguana. And then I was like, oh, my God, we're gonna be, like, blacked out after this. And I was like, we're gonna be iguanas. Turned into, like, iguana turned into iguana juice. So, like, iguana is now a new word that we're gonna use for, like, if, say, someone's, like, blacked out in the corner, and they're like, yeah, I'll tell you also the other reasoning before this, but someone's blacked down the corner. Instead of being like, she's blacked out. Like, that sounds so judgy. You're gonna be like, oh, my God. She's like, iguana.

[Ashton]

Because that's the kind of.

[Alex Earl]

She's an I. And so this also comes into term because in Miami, there's iguanas. And when it turns winter in Miami, which is, like, 60 degrees, this is.

[Ashton]

Like, when I first learned about this, I actually lost my mind.

[Alex Earl]

So. So when it gets cold in Miami, it's like, 60 degrees. These iguanas freeze up and basically go into, like, a comatose so they look like this. They, like, fall out of trees. But they are alive. But they will stay frozen until the weather gets warmer. So, like, we would be walking to class and literally, boom. Iguana falls right next to you. Boom, boom, boom. And, like, iguanas are big. Yeah. It could be dangerous, but on cold days in Miami, it's a thing. You walk around. There's iguanas everywhere, laying like this. So that's also, like. It comes, like, it's full circle.

[Jake]

With that, should we say what we're most excited for for the night?

[Ashton]

Mm.

[Alex Earl]

I'm most excited for, like, you guys to experience Duval street for the first time. Like, you guys are gonna be like, whoa. That. You weren't expecting. Expecting that. It just. It. There's something in the air here that makes you have fun. Like, it's impossible not to have fun. Like, last night, I was like, we're not gonna go out. Let's not drink. I iguana'd so hard. Like, we had the best time ever. You just.

[Jake]

There's something in there I'm excited for. I do want Wendy's.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah.

[Ashton]

Jake's been thinking about this frosty.

[Jake]

I want this frosty. And I want French fries.

[Alex Earl]

Wait.

[Jake]

I was unhappy with the French fries at lunch. I'm just gonna be honest.

[Ashton]

I was unhappy with. Can we talk about it?

[Jake]

I wasn't happy with everything at lunch.

[Ashton]

Lunch, we were so excited. We're like, we're gonna go to this, like, Crab Shack. It's gonna be so good. Like, you know, good seafood.

[Jake]

This menu, like, couldn't be more perfect. They had gumbo.

[Ashton]

No.

[Jake]

For those that don't know, gumbo is my favorite food in the entire world.

[Ashton]

Which is why Jake needs to come to New Orleans right now.

[Jake]

I need to.

[Alex Earl]

Are you gonna come for the Super Bowl?

[Jake]

Oh, I want. I told you I wanted to.

[Alex Earl]

Wait.

[Ashton]

You should. You have to.

[Jake]

Okay. You heard it here first.

[Alex Earl]

Oh, no. Now I'm doing it.

[Ashton]

You're holding him accountable.

[Alex Earl]

Heard it here first. This.

[Ashton]

Wait. I also think you guys should come to Mardi Gras.

[Alex Earl]

Okay.

[Jake]

I've never been.

[Ashton]

I think we should, like, rent a home.

[Jake]

Wait. Do you want to go?

[Alex Earl]

Not really. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Jake]

I. I've never done tequila sunrise, and I really want to.

[Ashton]

You have to.

[Alex Earl]

Is that the day where you stay up?

[Ashton]

Yeah, it's from Monday night into Tuesday morning, which Tuesday is actual Mardi Gras, but, like, Tulane.

[Jake]

Is that Fat Tuesday?

[Ashton]

Yeah, and Tulane starts celebrating.

[Alex Earl]

We're going to fat Tuesdays tonight.

[Ashton]

Yeah, it's.

[Jake]

Is there a place called Fat Tuesdays?

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

You've never been to Fat Tuesdays?

[Jake]

Is that a bath?

[Ashton]

They're like. It's like a.

[Alex Earl]

Wait.

[Ashton]

New Orleans?

[Alex Earl]

Are you kidding me? You've never been to Fat Tuesdays? It's like a. Like a Margaritaville.

[Ashton]

It's like a Margaritaville, but it's like. Oh.

[Alex Earl]

The only thing in there is where you're gonna literally piss your pants. You walk in and it's only spinning machines of, like, big slushies, like, any.

[Ashton]

We bought, like, Stanley cups of slushies the last time we were there.

[Alex Earl]

Wait, Jake, you've never seen a Fat Tuesday?

[Jake]

Are you pranking me?

[Ashton]

Jake?

[Jake]

Is this like a bar or is it like.

[Alex Earl]

It's a bar.

[Jake]

It's a fast. It's a.

[Alex Earl]

No, there's no bar.

[Jake]

It's a bar.

[Ashton]

Yeah. Wait, Jake, it's like a Margaritaville. Like, you know they have Margaritaville.

[Alex Earl]

You know what? This is saying that you're too bougie.

[Jake]

That's not true.

[Alex Earl]

That is true. Because the fact you've never been in an area where there's a Fat Tuesdays is kind of crazy.

[Ashton]

Whoa.

[Jake]

Oh, I want to go there right now.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, this is actually Key West.

[Jake]

Take me there right now.

[Alex Earl]

We should go.

[Jake]

Okay. I. Great night.

[Alex Earl]

Good morning.

[Jake]

Good morning.

[Alex Earl]

No, I don't know. I don't know. Well, first we went to Fat Tuesdays. What did you think?

[Jake]

Oh, yeah, that place is awesome.

[Alex Earl]

So good, right?

[Jake]

Awesome.

[Alex Earl]

They gave us free jello shots. They gave us free jello shots. But I. So Fat Tuesday sent me merch and like a PR box, like this year. And there was like, there was like 12 gift cards in there. So me and my friends obviously saved them all for this moment. He, like, brought them all last night and I like, handed like six Fat Tuesdays gift cards. I saw that to the girl, which I already felt just like cheesy about. You know what I mean? Like, we have this big order of like 15 drinks and I give it an all gift cards. And then she goes, these don't work. And I was like, oh, my God. Were they just like, literally like in the box to, like, fill up the PR box, but not actually like gift cards? And me and my friends are like. So I was like, oh, that's so embarrassing. I don't even know where to begin. I don't know. It was kind of ravenous last night. There was like a frat formal here. So there was just like. There was a lot of people.

[Ashton]

There was a lot of people.

[Jake]

It was also. Okay, maybe we should start with the guy you dumped your drink on.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah. So I thought, like, the jersey hasn't come out of me in so long. Where, like, I've been. What do you mean?

[Ashton]

So long? Last weekend, you literally.

[Alex Earl]

Okay, so anyhow, just like, I'm just a type of person where like, you and this. We manifested this with that. Tick tock. Accidentally.

[Jake]

Which one?

[Alex Earl]

Where it's like, you talk about me. I don't care about.

[Ashton]

You did manifest this.

[Alex Earl]

You talk about my friends, my family, my boyfriend. I'm gonna you up.

[Jake]

Wow.

[Alex Earl]

I manifested it. So you did manifest it.

[Jake]

I didn't even think about that.

[Alex Earl]

It's true to who I am. So we're at the bar, I'm ordering these drinks, and this guy comes up behind me, like, pushes through all my friends. He's like, hi. Also, like, from Point Pleasant. My girlfriend loves you. And it's always like, Once they're like, my girlfriend, I'm like, love, like, tell her said hi.

[Jake]

Like, I don't watch that happen.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah. So I was like, oh yeah, it's so nice to meet you. Whatever.

[Ashton]

I wish all this.

[Alex Earl]

Then we leave the bar, we go back to like the by the dancing area of Fat Tuesdays and he comes up to me again and he was like, can I take a photo with you? And his friend also took a photo with me. And they weren't like selfies. They were like full body like photos, like standing next to each other. And I was like, so nice meeting you guys. Whatever. Like, I thought they were nice. And then he was like, oh, Braxton was on my fantasy team. And then he goes, but it's so sad that like he sucks. And I literally just turned my head and I said, okay, Alex. Like, remain calm. And I said, okay. And then he said like, sorry, like, whatever. And like walked away. So I was like. Because I just get like very heated. So I like turned to Kristen and I like, there's just no need to say that. Like, just shut your mouth. I turned to Kristen and I like, tell Kristen what just happened. And then Kristen is the sweetest person on the entire world. Like, Kristen's never raised her voice like, whatever. And she was like, I'm heated because like, obviously we all love Braxton and he's the best. So Kristen was like, can I go over and say something? And I was like, go get him, girl. Like, go. Kristen goes over and I think she likes flipped him off or something. So then. And Sally was like, back up, back up. And then at this point I thought he would just be like, sorry, like whatever and walk away. But he kept going. He was like, oh, like, I'm sorry. Like, it's true. He fucking sucks. And I said, what the fuck do you do with your life? And then he said, let me show you. Let me show you. And he starts pulling up the like, stats or whatever.

[Jake]

What's that?

[Ashton]

His stats.

[Alex Earl]

I literally spun the drink off my Fat Tuesdays cup so fast I went. And then it was full. 190 octane fresh. And I dump it. And it just like, it was like a movie. It was like the perfect like splash and pour over his head.

[Ashton]

And that stuff's so sticky.

[Alex Earl]

And then I got really scared because I was like, wait, I definitely shouldn't have done that. But then I was like, you? Yeah, so I don't care.

[Jake]

And the theme was Jersey Shore.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah.

[Ashton]

It was like, it was just on theme.

[Alex Earl]

I was on theme And. But just, like, I don't understand people like that. Like, just. Just keep it to yourself.

[Jake]

So then we left Fat Tuesdays and.

[Alex Earl]

No, we went to Irish Kevin's.

[Jake]

That's what. That's what I'm thinking.

[Alex Earl]

And that was a bad move.

[Jake]

Really bad scaries about being on that stage.

[Alex Earl]

So we get to Irish Kevin's, and of course the band goes, Alex, Earl is here. Like, come on stage. And, like, when they do that, I can't. Obviously, all I want to do in life ever is be on a stage, perform for people. So I gave Alex, no, no, I sprint. I sprint across the room, and I'm like, how do I get on stage? Like, let me know.

[Ashton]

About to order a drink at the bar.

[Alex Earl]

And she's like, I literally dropped everything. I said to Jake, hold my phone. And I ran to the stage, and they handed me a tambourine, which I knew I was having flashbacks to the hot mess boat party. I was like, don't be too annoying with the tambourine. I was smacking it like my life depended on it.

[Ashton]

No, she would, like, use it, but then she'd periodically just, like, stop. And then, like, look around. Wait, Alex was dancing on stage and she turns around in her whole ass.

[Alex Earl]

Was my ass out? Yes. Oh, no.

[Ashton]

I saw Bo Cheech.

[Jake]

I didn't see the ass.

[Ashton]

I saw Bo Cheeks.

[Alex Earl]

He's just lying.

[Jake]

No, I'm not.

[Alex Earl]

But the thing is, they were playing music that I didn't know either. So I was.

[Ashton]

Yeah, they played, like, random songs between.

[Alex Earl]

These two men that I don't know. They're singing a song, I don't know, and I'm with a tambourine, and I'm like, kind of not that drunk yet. And I'm, like, looking around like, oh, my God. Like, so then I said to Jake, like, like, get the up here. Because I was like, I can't do this alone. So then Jake came on stage with.

[Jake]

Me, and I looked like a tree stump that moved like. I looked like a tree stump that moved like. It was like.

[Alex Earl]

We were, like, in Beat for the first part, like, hitting our tambourines.

[Jake]

Why was I so stiff? Like, I'm looking at videos and I'm like. Like this.

[Alex Earl]

Wait, I haven't seen a video yet.

[Jake]

Oh, I have. And then. And then.

[Ashton]

So good, though.

[Jake]

We get back to the bar. I don't know what happens at Suddenly, like, I finally getting into it, and Alex looks at me and goes, we're getting. Get the fuck off the stage. Yeah.

[Ashton]

All of a sudden, like, mid Song.

[Alex Earl]

They just, like, sprint out. I was like, there's. I don't know how to do this, but we gotta get out.

[Jake]

Oh, and then there's this late. These women in front. And I tried to take the tambourine. I'm sorry. I tried to. I was drunk. I tried to take.

[Alex Earl]

Oh, wait, did they not let you steal it?

[Jake]

No, the women go, give that back. I go, oh, I'm sorry. Okay. And I gave them the tambourine.

[Ashton]

Oh, my God.

[Jake]

And then when I was cheering for you because, like, you were up, like, for a few minutes before me, and I was like. They were like, like. And they were like, front row for this band. I was like, you guys get to chill.

[Ashton]

They were really.

[Alex Earl]

I don't know what was happening. And then you ordered 300 worth of Wendy's, and we never got it.

[Jake]

I. The entire day, there's a Wendy's down the street from the house. And I was like, you know what? Like, I'm pumped for Wendy's, like, all day.

[Alex Earl]

Jake said, wendy's. Can't wait to go to Wendy's.

[Jake]

Yeah. Like, I'm so excited. They have Frosties, like, spicy nuggets, a chicken sandwich, like. And I was like, you know what? Like, so many of us. Let's order a bunch of food. I order three. I want to say it was. I'll tell you right now, I think it was 350 worth of Wendy's.

[Alex Earl]

No, it was 250.

[Jake]

No, no, no. I checked it last night and it was a tad more than that.

[Alex Earl]

Really?

[Jake]

Yeah. I think it. Hold on. I'll tell you right now. It was. Yep. It was 323 + 47.

[Ashton]

So.

[Jake]

What is that?

[Alex Earl]

How did you do that?

[Jake]

I don't know.

[Alex Earl]

Maybe they didn't have enough in stock. Oh, like, I. I don't.

[Jake]

Yeah, no, it's. It's Wendy's.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

Wendy, what are you doing?

[Jake]

I ordered $370 worth of Wendy's.

[Ashton]

That's insane.

[Jake]

They didn't run out because Wendy's doesn't run out of baconators like that. Like, I ordered a bunch of baconators and I ordered this Dave singles and I ordered.

[Alex Earl]

And we went there on our way home because I. You said I forgot sauces. And I said, omg, this is so crazy. We need sauces with all of our $400 worth. Wendy's.

[Jake]

Thank God Wendy's is down the street.

[Alex Earl]

I bought, like. Like, I bought all these sauces from Wendy's.

[Jake]

Photo of that.

[Alex Earl]

I said, give me 10 ketchup 10 honey mustard, 10 spicy ranch, 10, whatever. And then we bought the stuff, and then we left, and we never got all of the food.

[Ashton]

Oh, my God.

[Jake]

Wait, look at it. This is the photo of me getting. Because two Postmates orders came.

[Alex Earl]

Wait, you were so happy.

[Jake]

I was so excited because we have to put that.

[Alex Earl]

That photo up right now.

[Jake]

Like, this was the second order that came because, like, I ordered. I was like, oh, I forgot Frosty. So I ordered Frosty's. And then my Postmates was messaging me, like, call the restaurant. Like, I don't know what's good.

[Alex Earl]

She.

[Jake]

The Postmates was lovely.

[Ashton]

Yeah, I think it was the Wendy's.

[Jake]

I think it was the Wendy's. She was like, I. You can call the restaurant. I've.

[Ashton]

I felt bad for her. She was stressed because she was stressed.

[Jake]

I was like, you were so stressed.

[Ashton]

About the Wendy's, and you're like, where's my Wendy's? This isn't it. And she's like, I don't know. This is all they gave me.

[Alex Earl]

Like, Wendy's ran out from our order.

[Jake]

I don't want Wendy's anymore. Like, it was just that night, that moment, that.

[Ashton]

Yeah, I get it.

[Jake]

No, it's okay.

[Ashton]

Did you get your Frosty, though?

[Jake]

Yeah, the Frosty was great. And the fries were amazing.

[Alex Earl]

Oh, good.

[Jake]

What the.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Jake]

What did that hurt the most? It was good.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Jake]

What I did get was so good. Everything cheesy.

[Alex Earl]

Baked potato I got was really good.

[Jake]

Yeah. Like. Like. And then we had a gossip session for.

[Alex Earl]

Oh. We talked until the sun came up. Literally. We all sat in a circle, and I don't think I've ever talked that much in my life.

[Jake]

Whoops. Like, Alex looked at me and goes, I don't think. I don't think we've said a positive word in three hours.

[Ashton]

And I was like, damn, I'm sad.

[Alex Earl]

I missed. It was crazy. It was crazy. Anyone in, like, like, our realm of existence was just getting on.

[Jake]

It was just.

[Ashton]

Were you guys talking about me?

[Jake]

No.

[Ashton]

Okay.

[Alex Earl]

But yeah, that's a. If you weren't in the room, you were up for take also. Like, I went from, like, room to room because, like, all the bedrooms are connected, and I was in one room, and, like, people were talking, and I would go to another one. They're, like, talking another thing. And I was like, what?

[Ashton]

Why are we all, like, something in the end.

[Jake]

You know what?

[Ashton]

It started with shit talking, Wendy.

[Jake]

It started with shit talking. Wendy and I, like, went hard on Wendy.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah. We, like, went into the logistics of like, the Wendy's system.

[Jake]

Like, I was. I don't. Like, God. I was really upset.

[Alex Earl]

I feel like I need to go to church today because of how much we talked. But honestly was only about, like, a few things.

[Jake]

And can I say, it's all deserved. It was deserved.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah. Don't look at me.

[Jake]

I. I thought, you know, like, people.

[Alex Earl]

Have gone off the rails.

[Jake]

Like, people have gone off and we know.

[Alex Earl]

Too much information.

[Jake]

Yes. And, like, I thought it was deserved.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, me too. But whatever, you know, one day we're a fun time.

[Ashton]

Yeah, I do.

[Alex Earl]

So if you can't tell. Even now, I feel like all we've done is complain about our night.

[Jake]

Okay, let's. Let's all list something positive. Oh, I'll tell you something positive that happened. I loved when they played Charlie XCX at the club after I were screaming.

[Ashton]

That was so much.

[Alex Earl]

That was so good.

[Jake]

I also split a cigarette, which was great.

[Ashton]

Oh, yeah, that was. That was probably the highlight of my night.

[Alex Earl]

Rick's dancing at Ricks was the highlight of my life, too. Even I think there was, like, a Taylor Swift remix.

[Jake]

Yeah. Love Story came on.

[Alex Earl]

Yes. Yes. Love Story. Love Story came on so hard. And.

[Ashton]

Yeah, no, Rick's was fun.

[Alex Earl]

Rick's is just the best. And Rick's has four different bars in itself, so there's like, Rick's was sick. DJ upstairs, a band. It's. Rick's is the best.

[Ashton]

I had a great time.

[Jake]

I. I love Drex. Rick's was the best decision we made all night.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

Cool.

[Jake]

Oh, and. And second highlight when the band played Please, Please, Please. Oh, not to complain. Would have been awesome to play when.

[Alex Earl]

You were on the stage that I went up on stage, played Please, Please, Please. When I got off the music they were playing when I was up there was. I've never heard in my life.

[Ashton]

Yeah.

[Alex Earl]

And then when I got off, they played this beautiful rendition of Please, Please, Please by Sabrina Carpenter, which is my favorite song. And I almost, like, was. Me and Jake were, like, screaming at the top of our lungs. I almost flew off my bar stool. I was so happy.

[Jake]

That was it. That was a great moment. Oh, we had. We had a great night.

[Alex Earl]

We did.

[Jake]

It was a great night.

[Alex Earl]

I had the best time ever.

[Jake]

I had a lovely, lovely time for your birthday.

[Alex Earl]

Me too.

[Ashton]

I feel like this is such a fun birthday.

[Alex Earl]

This was the best birthday trip ever. It was so, like, low key. There was no, like, really rules. Like, I mean, it's not like you had, like, the tiki boat was great.

[Jake]

But, like, the thing is, there is beauty in complaining.

[Alex Earl]

Yeah, you complain a lot.

[Jake]

I know.

[Alex Earl]

I think we're getting kicked out.

[Jake]

Are we?

[Alex Earl]

Is there hangover hats? Yeah. More. Yeah. Do you want. Yeah. For my birthday present, my friend Emma got me these hangover hats that are all Jersey Shore themed. And it's these hangover hats that help you.

[Jake]

Oh, I'm gonna wear one in my car right back.

[Alex Earl]

Yep, you need it. And my friend's birthday gift to me was they made a. Because I always said to my friends, like, please do not get me anything for my birthday. I don't need anything. Like, I have more than I could ever ask for. And they made a donation to the animal shelter, and they got me dog toys because I'm going to volunteer there next week. Yeah.

[Ashton]

That was really sweet.

[Alex Earl]

That's the best gift ever. I can't wait to go hang with the doggies. So we need to get them all adopted.

[Ashton]

Okay.

[Alex Earl]

Really? No way. Oh, my God. I'm going to cry. Oh, my God. We made a $400 donation to the Miami Dade Animal Shelter. A. Oh, my God, you guys. That's actually the sweetest thing ever. I'm going there this week. Get. And I'm like, this. And you can bring those for you to bring. Like, this is so good. They're going to love these. Okay.

[Ashton]

The shrimp taco was my.

[Alex Earl]

I meant I'm keeping this one. Screw the dog. These are perfect. Oh, my gosh. This was the most thoughtful gift ever. I love you. I'm so glad. Look at this. This. Where's the beach?

[Jake]

What?

[Alex Earl]

I put it on.

[Jake]

These were here the whole time. Oh, wait. Why are they cold? You put them in the. Wait. What the.

[Ashton]

Wait, Jake, you've never. You've never used a hangover hat before.

[Jake]

Oh, this is a game changer. What?

[Alex Earl]

She like it, like, hugs your brain.

[Jake]

Oh, my God. Oh, sorry, Sorry.

[Alex Earl]

Isn't it good?

[Jake]

This is just exceptional. Whoa.

[Ashton]

You've never heard of these before?

[Alex Earl]

Dude, I don't even want to end this.

[Jake]

I know. I'm having a great time. I like you guys.

[Alex Earl]

I want to keep going. And Now I'm turning 24 tomorrow.

[Ashton]

She's so adult.

[Alex Earl]

I'm gonna be 24.

[Jake]

Do you finally feel like. Does it feel like I don't love turning.

[Alex Earl]

No, No. I feel so. She's so ready to be 24. Like, for some reason, 23 was the most, like. Like, disgusting year in my head. Like, I feel like I just went through so many changes, and, like, I was just such a different person in the beginning of last year, and I was in this weird phase of, like, everything moogly woogly and just not. I don't know, I feel like it was like a big, like, discovery year for me. And I, like, need to get out of 23. I need to be 24.

[Jake]

You know what?

[Alex Earl]

I feel like 24 is going to be my year.

[Jake]

23 is always. I feel like, at least for me as well, 23 was so confusing.

[Alex Earl]

It was. It was a confusing year.

[Jake]

It's confusing. And 24 is awesome. I had a great 24. I think you're gonna have an exceptional 24.

[Alex Earl]

How old are you?

[Jake]

25.

[Ashton]

What?

[Jake]

I know.

[Ashton]

Yeah. Jake just turned 20.

[Jake]

I just turned 25.

[Alex Earl]

And like, that feels like. That feels really old.

[Jake]

That's what I'm saying. It's not fun to turn that year anymore.

[Alex Earl]

That's crazy.

[Jake]

I hate saying my age. I've never hated saying my age before. And I hate saying that I'm 25. I hate it.

[Alex Earl]

That's crazy. Yeah. I mean, I can't be 25.

[Jake]

That's what I'm saying. I hate it.

[Alex Earl]

Happy birthday to me. Thank you. Wait, did I just turn that off? How do I get that back on? I'm a hot mess. Netcredit is here to say yes to a personal loan or line of credit.
