Not going to lie, not doing my best right now. Wait, did I just turn that off? How do I get that back on? I'm a hot mess. We have just took the journey of a lifetime. Oh, my God. Chili, get up here. We're fostering this cat right now. Jelly, come here. Come lay with me. Come here. She loves my bedroom because it's like a jungle in here. There's just stuff everywhere, as you can see. I usually podcast on the other side of my room where it looks a little bit more. Oh, my God, is she. Oh, my God. She's coming up. She's here. Oh, my God. If you're watching this right now, this is crazy. Chili. I've never had a cat before, so I've never known how to, like, be with cats. Like, Kristen told me you have to pet them. Just going in one direction usually, like, I don't know. When I pet dogs, I just get crazy. But when I tell you Chili is still, like, warming up to me, she loves my room. I find her in here at all times of the day because like, it is like an animal's dream in here. But back to what I was saying. We endeavored on a 24 hour party for Sally's birthday. And. And Sally and I go through. We actually podcasted in the middle of this party accidentally because I was running around like crazy trying to get things ready, also planning things for Sally's birthday. I decided that I wanted to make her this like sushi cake. So I got that last minute and basically this whole party came together just very last minute. It was a very. Well, we knew actually for months that Sally wanted to do this for her party. She said that Margot Robbie, I guess, had a 24 hour party for her birthday. So this is like something she's always wanted to do. So the whole year, anywhere we've gone, Sally has said to everyone, like, hey, I want to have a 24 hour birthday party. Like, come to Miami. So every event we've been to, every new place, every new person we've met, Sally has actually invited them to this 24 hour birthday party. So over the past year, we've accumulated a lot of people that wanted to come turned into really this like, event. I was like, I feel like we're throwing a festival at this point. And I knew that we were doing this and it's like the week before and we were trying to figure out like our plans. We knew we wanted to go to this club space in Miami. Which club space? I think I've talked to you guys about it before, but it's. There's like two different levels to it, and it's basically just like a 24. 7 club. It's so much fun. It is like, has openings in the ceiling, so when it turns daylight, it gets bright in there. People are having mimosas, they have food. Like, it's kind of a place where like, you never really have to leave. And it is very, very fun. So we knew we could like go and like spend a chunk of time there. At first she thought we were doing 24 hours at space. And I was like, okay. So we would actually end up in the hospital probably. So I don't think we can do that. But we knew we wanted to kill like a good amount of time at space. But then the rest of the time we were like, what are we gonna do to fill this 24 hours? Sally was like, I don't really know what to do for the rest of the the 24 hours besides, like, we go to space. And she wanted it to be a Party. Because everyone in my comments this past week looking at this party was like, you guys did this so wrong. Like, why would you not just go from 7:00am to 7:00am, which is basically like you just wake up a little earlier one day and like you go to bed, it's like you had a late fun night out. Like that would actually not be that bad and not be that hard. Because on top of the 24 hours of party, and we were also up for like 36 hours. Because think about it, we got up at like 9 or 10am on Saturday and we didn't go out like starting clocking the 24 hours until 7pm so we were already up all day. So it's not like we were just awake for 24 hours. We were awake for much more than 24 hours. We just wanted to party for 24 hours. But because Sally wanted to party for 24 hours, we couldn't really start at 7am because it would have just been. I mean we actually could have. And maybe we should have done that looking back on it, but we didn't because I just was like, where at 7am Are we getting up and getting everyone to like rally and go out? Like we wanted to start it with bang. We wanted to start it being fun. So we decided to start at 7pm and go to 7am Actually, I don't think Sally's ever been on the podcast before. So we're gonna sit down with Sally right now. And we filmed this part in the midst of after dinner before going to Braxton's to pre game. So if we sound like a little annoying, that's why, because we've had a few margaritas in at that point. Also, I'm pretty sure that the camera in this kept focusing between us and then this like cardboard cut out of me in the background. So the focus of this might also just not be the best. But this is a very like hot mess oriented episode. This is not. We're not looking cute. We don't have a lot of cute stories for this, but it's really a fun one. And I'm really excited for you guys to meet Sally because Sally is my longest friend. I met Sally in high school and I think it was like freshman year of high school. She was just like cool girl, wanted to be her friend. And Sally's just like the most loyal, genuine friend and just I could put her into any room with any person at any time. She's like gonna make a friend. She just has this like energy about her. Like she's just like this. I don't know how to explain it, but she's literally just the best and everyone loves her and she's just Sally. So I'm excited for you guys to meet Sally and I'm excited for you guys to hear because I'm recording this a little bit backwards right now because the party has already happened.

Sally
Hey guys.
Alex Earl
The one, the only, the infamous Sally. We forgot to record before we started getting ready. So weirdest a few margaritas deep right now.
Sally
We unfortunately always run a bit late and this was allotted into our time slot and it somehow everyone's pre gaming.
Alex Earl
In our apartment right now and it's like, okay, well we can just podcast really quick and talk to everyone. So we're sitting in my bedroom. This was not the setup we were originally gonna have. So please don't judge us if you're watching this on YouTube right now because it's a little bit scary. But I feel like. Should we explain the first time we met? I think you remember this. I have like kind of a bad memory.
Sally
Well, I don't know exactly the first time we met because obviously it was before this. But the first time Alex and I hung out, we literally got spray tans.
Alex Earl
Which is on, on par.
Sally
It makes so much sense. I'm so grateful that that was the first time that we hung out, but we just all got spray tans and she was like, oh my gosh, do you want to hang out after?
Alex Earl
Well, I remember Sally being really, really cool. Like Sally was the it girl. Sorry. And she still is. And she still is. And she still is. And her insta finsta, whatever. The thing was when that was cool was ball sack. And I was like, I want to be friends with her so bad. You would post with like Isabella riding bikes around Monmouth Beach. And I was like, I would do anything for those girls to ask me to hang out. And Sally has a Snapchat of me like sending her my address for us to go get spray tans.
Sally
Yeah, one thing about me is I have the receipts. So when Alex was like, wait, like when was the first time we hung out? I was like, well actually I have the screenshot of your address. So yeah, I have all of that. And it just makes so much sense that the first time we hung out we were literally getting spray tans. And then I went to your house and I was like, oh my God, this Girl's so cool.
Alex Earl
We had a tanning problem in high school.
Sally
It was bad.
Alex Earl
Like, very bad. We went to the. We went to the tanning beds every single day. And, like, it was to the point where I remember I would go to the tanning salon so much in the tanning beds that, like, they would be like, oh, this is, like, the maximum amount of times you're allowed to go per week. So then I would have to start going to, like, other tanning salons so that I could keep going every day.
Sally
Yeah, mine was so bad, my mom wanted to have an intervention. She was like, sally, it's kind of getting really bad. You're a little bit, like, too tan. It's really bad for your skin. You're really gonna regret this. And I was like, actually, no, I'm not. I look so good. And now I'm looking back on the pictures, and it's so scary. And now I have wrinkles.
Alex Earl
So guys, don't tan because we have wrinkles at 24.
Sally
Do not tan. It's not worth it. It's not worth it. For your prom photos. Just get a spray tan. It will look just as good, I promise.
Alex Earl
For prom, I actually was like, okay. So, like, I have to be the maximum level I could possibly be. I wish that someone. I just wish I knew. So I don't know any Jersey girls listening. If you're. If you're going through the tantoraxia right now, that we're really. We're really wishing you the best, honestly.
Sally
So many people did tell me is the thing everyone always told me, you're going to regret this. You're not going to like how you look.
Alex Earl
My mom let me keep going.
Sally
Yeah. Well, my issue was that I started going when I was, like, 16 because I had really bad skin, and my doctor was like, okay, like, you can go.
Alex Earl
I went for my acne, too, because I was like, it's clear. My acne. Bye.
Sally
Once every two weeks, and it'll help just, like, kind of clear up your skin. I was like, okay. But then I got my license, and my mom's signature was already on the thing, so I was able to go before I was 18. I went every single day.
Alex Earl
No, it was a thing. We all went every single day.
Sally
Like, and we look scary so good. And we just smelled, so.
Alex Earl
Remember when you would smell like burnt skin? Like, I would literally smell like.
Sally
I smell like when you put chicken nuggets in the air fryer.
Alex Earl
No, because worse. It was worse. It was like. I just remember you put me in the air fryer so distinctly. And it was really, really terrible. But whatever. I mean, it's just what happens growing up in Jersey. And we also. So, like, people might be concerned right now that we're having a 24 hour party for your birthday, but I do have to say I feel like growing up in Jersey didn't get us started on the right foot.
Sally
Yeah. Our high school experience was not really normal. We had themed parties every single weekend.
Alex Earl
Our high school parties were 110 crazier than like the frat parties I went to in college.
Sally
100.
Alex Earl
Like, they were abnormal. I remember we would all be standing on the counters swinging from the chandeliers and like, it was crazy. I remember Sally went face down a staircase on one Halloween party.
Sally
This was bad. I did a front flip down cement stairs. But to be fair, it wasn't me. It wasn't me. It wasn't from anything that I drank on purpose.
Alex Earl
And all of a sudden, I look to my right, we're at this party, and this goes down as like one of the most distinct memories I have from high school. We were partying in this, like, outdoor shed. And I look over and there's like, the shed was kind of like on these stilts. And there was a staircase to like, get out of the shed onto the grass. I look over and it's like cement stairs. I look over and Sally was a devil this night, right?
Sally
Yep. And I was wearing red contacts.
Alex Earl
Yep. I look over, Sally is face down, like, chin bonking on stair to stair. Like she just face slides down these stairs. And I was like, okay, so like, time. I was like, okay, something's not like, good with Sally. Whatever. We all get. Sally, like on all fours were like, trying to help her and she was. She. I have this photo of Sally and she was like, take this photo of me. Like, whatever. And she obviously was out of her mind. And she was like, posing. Her eyes were going in like eight different directions. She was like, send this to this guy. It was like this older guy that she had a crush on. And she was like, send this to him, Alex. And I was like, yeah, so I can't.
Sally
And I was posing with like a blue Gatorade bottle. I don't know in what world I thought that this looked good.
Alex Earl
And I was like, I don't think I should send this to him. She's like, send it. Whatever.
Sally
I don't have a lot of memories of that night, but I do remember. Like, I remember it was just total darkness, but just like going down the Stairs. And I woke up the next day, I'm just like my contacts. Because my one thing was like, oh, I need to remember to take these red contacts out. No contacts, but I had a gigantor scar or like gash on my arm from falling down the stairs. I don't have the scar anymore, surprisingly. But no, it was there for a hot minute and it was real bad.
Alex Earl
I. Yeah, no, you falling down the stairs was one of the craziest things I've ever seen. And then like, I don't know. What else would we do? In high school we had also trained to New York City because from us like the New Jersey transit, it was like a two hour train ride to go to New York City. It was only like an hour drive, but there was just like a lot of stops on the train. So it would take a while. But we would use the train to like pre game. So we'd pour like vodka and water bottles, get on the train and we would go to New York City. And obviously we couldn't like really get in anywhere with like art. So we'd fake IDs in high school, obviously, which I mean, maybe not obviously because maybe that's not what you should be doing in high school. But I would place orders for the fake IDs. I don't know why I would do it, but I remember like I still have photos in my phone of like pretty much everyone in our grade. Like I would take my grades orders for the fake IDs because I love organizing stuff. I really do. Like, I used to want to be a party Planner. Planning Sally's 24 hours party. Yep. So like I, I don't know, I like taking charge. Like I like when we go to a restaurant, I'm like, I'll just place the order, I'll get everything. And I would place the order on this like really sus website. But it was like the least sus out of all the fake ID websites online. And I would order these fake IDs for everyone in my grade and then everyone would like Venmo me. And basically we went to this place in the city and I don't know how we found it. I think it was one of our friends that found it. And it was called Space Karaoke.
Sally
Space Karaoke? Yup. It was the most time of my life. It was rented out. We were 16 years old. Not sure why they let us in or why they let us rent it out.
Alex Earl
No, no, we have to give like the backstory because it was. So when you get out of Penn Station in New York City. Walk out into the streets, like Madagascar. Like, literally. I don't know. We're in the middle of nowhere. I don't know. I'm thinking of, like, lonesome things in the streets of New York, but one of the first buildings you see in New York City, right after getting out of Penn Station, you walk into the door. It's not like. It's not like a sceny area right there. No, it's just like maybe some restaurants and like, building. I don't know. We walked into this building, we hit like the 11th or like 21st floor. We go up this elevator, it opens up into this, like, club bar called Space Karaoke. I think we found it online somewhere. Like, we must have found it on Instagram. We were the only people in there every time we went.
Sally
But it was like some of the most magical memories that I've ever had.
Alex Earl
It was the coolest place ever because they let us in with our fake IDs.
Sally
I don't even know if they looked at our fake IDs, which is the scare, actually. No, they definitely did.
Alex Earl
There was, like, private karaoke rooms you could rent out to go sing. They would bring us over, like, platters of shots. We would, like, have these. I have like, photo shoots of us, like, on the bar. And.
Sally
Yeah, I thought I was so cool.
Alex Earl
I've never seen another person in there.
Sally
No. But then the best part is, is that we kind of like passed through this tradition on. And I remember Ashton and her friends went too. Like, years later, after we were all.
Alex Earl
In college, we would, like, secretly tell people in our high school, like, hey, we have a bar that you can get into karaoke. It was the craziest place ever. And I don't know why they let us in.
Sally
I kind of think we should go back.
Alex Earl
I kind of feel like it's not a real establishment.
Sally
It might not be there.
Alex Earl
Cover up for something else. And we are the only thing that.
Sally
Was like, yeah, it's probably like a money laundering scheme, but we just funded it.
Alex Earl
We.
Sally
We laundered the money.
Alex Earl
We had the best time cutscene. But yeah, I don't know, we had. We had a lot of fun in high school. Right.
Sally
I think we had, like, it just.
Alex Earl
Like, really was our high school experience. Was like a college experience. Yeah.
Sally
Like, I feel like going to college.
Alex Earl
Everyone is kind of like drinking for the first time.
Sally
Yeah. But for some reason, we went out every single weekend. We had these crazy parties. And like, I wasn't kidding. Like, we had everything. You Couldn't think of. We had like the college teams. It was like, I remember we dressed it as nerds. We had all of our football games. Yeah, obviously, USA Hawaiian. And then there's like this one town near us called Ocean. And we were like, oh, obviously we have to be lifeguards. Ocean can't swim.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Sally
We thought that was the most creative thing in the world. And we all dress up as lifeguards. That was one of the craziest parties I feel like we had. It was really just the craziest time ever. And every time, like, all of my college friends heard about it. They were like, what?
Alex Earl
When I went to college and people were like, hearing about my high school stories, they were like, oh, like, I didn't have that.
Sally
Yeah.
Alex Earl
At all. Our. Our high school was. It was something else.
Sally
It was special.
Alex Earl
It was really special. It was like a college in of itself. But that's why we're crazy.
Sally
That's why we're here now having a 24 hour party.
Alex Earl
We had to take it to the next level somehow. We were like, how can we amp this up, do something we've never done before? But I will say, I don't know. Do you have any, like, first memories of me in high school? All I remember of you in high school is like, Sally was really, I don't want to say shy. I don't know, like, what your problem is.
Sally
Oh, I just.
Alex Earl
She like, couldn't go up to lunch. So we would sit together for like.
Sally
I have severe anxiety and social anxiety, which is crazy because I feel like I also. I'm like.
Alex Earl
She says, but like, she does, but she doesn't.
Sally
Yeah, it's like a weird thing that, like, I'm so outgoing, but I feel like maybe that's me. Like, I don't know. But in high school, I actually couldn't even like, walk. Maybe I did some exposure therapy.
Alex Earl
She couldn't walk up to like the food station in high school at the cafeteria and order like a sandwich for herself or go up and get a water for herself. Like, she'd be like, someone has to come with me. And I was like, what's your problem? Like, just go up there and get your sandwich.
Sally
Physically, I. My legs wouldn't walk me there unless somebody was with me. And like, I would need a water. I would need some turkey for my sandwich. And nope.
Alex Earl
So now, like, Sally will do things on her own. And I remember like a few years ago, it was like insane when you did things on your own for the first time. You were like, this is. Who is this?
Sally
I think it's because I. When I got to college, I had to do some exposure therapy. I was going to be on my own, and there was no way out of it. So in order for me to go to college, I had to go abroad and be by myself. And there was no one walking up to help me order a coffee there. So.
Alex Earl
Do you remember when we toured colleges?
Sally
Yeah. This is another thing. Alex and I decided to tour all the colleges in South Carolina together.
Alex Earl
We were like, let's just go on this road trip. Wait, you came with my family right when me and my family got in a big blowout fight?
Sally
No, I don't think so.
Alex Earl
Maybe that. That wasn't the Charleston trip.
Sally
No, no, no.
Alex Earl
That was a difference. That was a different concept.
Sally
USC and Charleston. And.
Alex Earl
Yeah, we.
Sally
A lot of people from our high school went to Charleston. So we.
Alex Earl
I remember it was like, my parents were like, okay, it was my mom and Sally's mom, and they were like, we're gonna take you to College of Charleston. We, like, rallied a few of our girlfriends, and I was like, okay, let's get the fake IDs ready. Like, we're going to college. And I don't think I've ever partied at college before because, like, I've never had older siblings or anything. Like, maybe I went to Rutgers once, but I've never really, like, been out to a college town before. And we went out, and it was the night before we had our college tour with Charleston, where, like, they take you around the whole school. They do the whole thing. You have a presentation. There's all the other, like, people that are potentially freshmen there. We blacked out.
Sally
We. Where did we started?
Alex Earl
We ended up at a karaoke bar.
Sally
Yeah, we ended up at a karaoke bar. And Alex was singing like, barbie girl. Oh, my gosh. Yes. And then we're on the street, and there was someone on the side of the street, and they see Alex, and he goes, it's a Barbie girl. And, like, to this day, I'll still coach Alex. Like, oh, my God, she's a Bobby girl.
Alex Earl
But, yeah, we were on the street after the karaoke bar, and this guy was carrying me. I was, like, on his back, and he, like, tripped and fell and got a gash.
Sally
Yeah, he face planted. His face was, like, gushing blood. And, like, for some reason there was an ambulance coming. And I was like, hey, can you come out? And then they pulled over and they were like, oh, my gosh. Like, is everything okay? And I was like, yeah, like, what do you mean? And they're like, well, you just flagged us down. I was like, huh? What do you mean? And they ended up going away, and everything was fine. But that was a really scary, well, night.
Alex Earl
We went out. I. I don't remember exactly, like, what we did this night, but basically, we all went out. It was like, a few of us, like, maybe you, me, and one or two more girls. Yeah, we went out. The guy who was carrying me fell, got a gash in his head. I think he had to go to the hospital and get stitches. Then we went back to the hotel. Sarah cut open, like, her foot was cut open. So there's blood throughout this whole hotel.
Sally
Like, we trailed it from the street into our hotel room. And we were getting, like, knocks on our door. They're like, hey, is everything okay? It looked like a crime scene.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Sally
So we, like, dragged.
Alex Earl
The police are calling the hotel. On this morning, my mom's like, what did you guys do? I'm like, I don't know. Whatever. They're like, get up. 8:00am the next day, we just had maybe one of the craziest, like, nights of my life. And we got on this college tour. I must insert the photos right now. And if you. We should call my mom, actually, and ask her right now about this college tour.
Sally
My mom to this day, like, we'll still talk about this. She's like, oh, my gosh. Alex was so hungover.
Alex Earl
It was the. I've never been more hungover in my entire life. I was in the back, and my, like, free people tank top, my Ray Ban sunglasses, my tanning bed tan in the back. I remember in the back, back, back of this presentation for the Charleston tour, and I was having to run to and from the bathroom back into this presentation, puking, and my mom was like, alex, like, pull it together. She was taking photos of me, though, because she was like, this is.
Sally
You're gonna.
Alex Earl
Hilarious.
Sally
It was so bad. And in that time in our lives, we couldn't really, like. Like, you don't really get hungover when you're that young.
Alex Earl
Yeah, I know.
Sally
So I'm not sure what happened.
Alex Earl
It must have been my first, like, lemon drop shots.
Sally
Yeah. And this was like, I really wanted to go to Charleston.
Alex Earl
Mom. Yes. Do you remember when I toured College of Charleston and I was so hungover? Yes. Her pictures. Can you, like, explain really quick what we're podcasting right now? Can you explain, like, the state of myself in that moment?
Sally
I've never seen anything quite like that.
Alex Earl
We were walking through the streets. And my tour guide is. And, you know, talking, and Alex is quietly turning around and puking in the bushes as we walk by.
Sally
You're green. I've never seen anything like you. I was taking.
Alex Earl
I was turning around, taking pictures of.
Sally
You while they were doing the.
Alex Earl
The presentation.
Sally
Presentation.
Alex Earl
And you were just.
Sally
I've just never seen anything like.
Alex Earl
You were like a piece of mush. Blue and green and every other color and. Do you remember when Sarah had blood all over the hotel?
Sally
Oh, my God.
Alex Earl
That. Who was that girl? Which Sarah was that? She, like, bled her ankle out through.
Sally
The hall, and I was down the.
Alex Earl
Hallway cleaning it up. That was horrible. And didn't you and Sally's mom go out and you were, like, crawling under a fence or something? What was that?
Sally
They went to, like, a tequila bar, and we're climbing fences, and my mom, like, doesn't go out of some engines.
Alex Earl
To the hotel, so we had to climb under, slide under, crawl under the fence.
Sally
Oh, my God.
Alex Earl
So there's something in the air in Charleston. It's not real. So it's not us. It's not us.
Sally
It wasn't us. It was Charleston. It was the ghost of Charleston's past.
Alex Earl
I love you. I'll call you tomorrow. Okay, well, you all be careful. Love you. Bye. This show is sponsored by Better Help. I think for me, green flags in a relationship would be the way that they treat other people and the little actions that they do. I always say actions speak louder than words. We often hear about red flags that we should avoid. But if we focused more on looking for green flags and friends and partners, would that be a little bit more beneficial? And if you're not sure what those look like, therapy can help you identify green flags. Actively practice them in your relationship, and embody green flag energy. Whether you're dating, married, or just working on yourself, it's time to form relationships that love you back. BetterHelp is entirely online, making therapy affordable and convenient.

Like throughout college, I feel like we did obviously long distance friendship because we went to different colleges and I think we visit each other like maybe once a year, if that right?
Sally
Yeah, I think we did a pretty good job. I definitely, we definitely visited each other like each once a year, sometimes twice. Like you definitely came to me twice. Maybe three times. Sophomore year, junior year.
Alex Earl
I feel like we were both lucky that we were both in places we wanted to visit. Like I road trip to Charleston with all my friends and you came. Obviously, like, Miami's fun to come to. So I feel like we were lucky that we like both wanted to go visit each other.
Sally
Yeah.
Alex Earl
But I feel like we did probably. Like, I would say we were definitely closer now than we were in college just because like we're together a lot more now.
Sally
Yeah, I actually feel like I remember from senior year of college you being like, yeah, like it's so great that now we're going to graduate and we can just like travel to go see each other all the time. And I was like, oh my God, so true. But like, little did we know it would be this one.
Alex Earl
Little did we know we would actually be living together. Like I, Sally and I see each other. I see Sally. Like, let me just preface it this way. I've slept with Sally in a bed this year more than I've slept alone. Like, I don't think I sleep in this bed literally ever without Sally in it. Like, I come home from like a month long vacation, I'm like, oh, my bed. Finally. Like, I'm sleeping alone somehow. Sally's here. She's like, hey, so I'm in Miami and I'm sleeping in your room.
Sally
Like, I moved to New York City November 1st. I think that I slept in my apartment. No, actually I was there like all of November, but after November, haven't been there. Like, I'm paying for no reason. I don't live there. Like it, it's there, but I live in my suitcase.
Alex Earl
So do I. And I'm so happy that I also have a friend that's like, Sally's just the type of friend that's down to do anything, wherever. I'm like, hey, so we're gonna go across the world tomorrow for like three months. And she's like, I'll come with you.
Sally
Yeah, she'll text me like two days before. She's like, hey, are you free to do this? And I'm like, yup, I'm free.
Alex Earl
But like, I feel like we definitely, like, I not drifted in college, but it's harder to just be as like close of a friend when you're not like, knowing the day to day details. Like, I would say, like, did we facetime in college? Yeah, like from time to time.
Sally
Yeah. I would say, like, it wasn't like everything.
Alex Earl
Like, not every day. A few times a month.
Sally
Yeah, probably a few times a month. So call your friends, make sure that you're keeping in contact with them because.
Alex Earl
And Sally one time told me that my boyfriend cheated on me and she knew and I didn't know.
Sally
Okay, so.
Alex Earl
And she told me on my birthday, it.
Sally
Okay, so let me like, set the scene. It was one of those situations where it's like, you guys broke up and.
Alex Earl
No, but the thing is, we didn't break.
Sally
Okay, but they were. Yeah, they didn't very on and off. So at the time, like, for some reason I thought that they just like, were broken up. And it was the kind of situation where it's like, okay, like, you don't need to know that. Like, it's just like gonna hurt you. It's gonna hurt your feelings. Like, I wouldn't want you to know that and just like, be sad on New Year's. And one of my friends called me. I wasn't there. My friend called me and they're like, wait, like, blah, blah, blah, and Alex aren't dating, right? And I was like, no, like, I don't think so. Because I feel like I had talked to you prior to that and you were like, no, we're not dating. They were. This was pro. I have short term memory loss. And they were like, oh, my God. Like, yeah, he was getting with a two. I was like, what? And I was like, okay, like, gonna keep that the back of my mind, not gonna repeat it.
Alex Earl
And then Sally came to visit me for my birthday that year and she was like, oh, my God, like when da da da was like making out with someone on New Year's and it was like my birthday, and I was like, wait, what? I was like, this New Year's and she was like, yeah, like, when he came to Charleston, I was like, oh. He's like, oh, we were dating then. And she was like, wait, what? No, you weren't. And I was like, yeah, no, we were dating, so. And she, like, called her friend because.
Sally
I was like, maybe I got this wrong. Maybe it was somebody else.
Alex Earl
Maybe it wasn't him. And they were like, oh, no, it was him. So then that was, like, my birthday present from sally for my 21st birthday that I found out I got cheated on by the one guy that I thought didn't cheat on me, which that guy also was Snapchatting this girl the whole time. Like, let me just rant for a second, talk about myself. He was Snapchatting this girl the whole time. And he was like, oh, this is, like, my cousin. Like, whatever. I was like, who's this girl who's, like, number one best friends on your Snapchat? He's like, oh, she's like, basically my cousin. Like, such a good family friend. Like, my cousin. Whatever. We break up. They've been dating ever since. So let me just tell you, not even the cousins are safe. Not even family members are safe, because they're probably still cheating on you with them.
Sally
Yeah, it's always the ones that they tell you not to worry about.
Alex Earl
Yeah. But we've had, like, a good track record of visiting each other for each other's birthdays. Like, I remember your 21st birthday. Is that your 21st birthday?
Sally
Yeah. Well, I came here for my 20th birthday, and actually, maybe it was my 19th birthday. It was right before COVID and me and Alex tried to go to live with our fake IDs.
Alex Earl
And they said, oh, that was so sad.
Sally
It was sad, but looking back, it's really funny. They were like, hey, guys, you can't come here.
Alex Earl
All right. Yeah.
Sally
So, like, and we sat in the bathroom at Liv, and we were like, oh, my gosh.
Alex Earl
My freshman year of college, Sally came to me for her birthday because obviously it was like, Miami. Like, here we go. And, like, Miami's not chill with fake IDs. It's, like, really strict. And unless you have some, like, type of, like, daddy or bouncer with you, you can't, like, really get in anywhere. And I was like, let's go to live. Like, I was trying to be cool and show off. And we go. And, like, they literally denied us so hard. They were like, don't. Like, if you come a step further, we're gonna arrest you. And I was like, okay. So we just, like, hid in the bathroom. All night long. And I was like.
Sally
I was like, this is the best night of my life. I might live. And then we went to Big Pink and I got the biggest pancake ever, and it was still the best night of my life.
Alex Earl
Yeah. So.
Sally
Yeah.
Alex Earl
But then your 21st birthday was great.
Sally
Yeah, my 21st birthday was so much fun.
Alex Earl
It was right after I got my boob job.
Sally
Yep.
Alex Earl
First party out since getting my boob job.
Sally
Alex got her boobs done maybe a week before my birthday, and she said, hey, I'm coming to Charleston. Still, don't you worry, don't you worry.
Alex Earl
I will be there. Post op right off the table. For your 21st birthday. It was my first time putting on an outfit. Had this, like, red latex bodysuit on. Whatever. I remember just being at the club and like, I'm pretty sure I just took my top off.
Sally
Oh, definitely. And I also was wearing one of those, like, chain mail dresses.
Alex Earl
It was off within seconds.
Sally
Yeah. Someone, like, hugged me. It broke off me and I was like, guess this is happening. Everyone's like picking up the bag, like, my whole butts out. But it was my 21st birthday and I feel like anything kind of flies. I remember the next day, my guy friend called me. He's like, hey, Sal, like, how are you feeling? And I was like, did you see my butt last night?
Alex Earl
Yeah, but, like, that's just how we are. We just want to be naked and have fun. Like tonight.
Sally
Tonight we're gonna be naked and we're.
Alex Earl
Gonna have fun, and we're gonna have fun. Yeah, that's exactly what we're here for. And we're going to the club. So right now we're like, talking. Right now we're talking for the podcast and then we're going to Braxton's to pre game. Right now we're gonna have a fun time there for like two hours. We're getting in a pink Hummer limo.
Sally
Phl. Don't you worry and don't you worry.
Alex Earl
Then we're going to space, which is this like four story, 24 hour seven club in Miami. It's like the best place on earth. And Sally's only been that one time.
Sally
No. So I went for the. I've been wanting to go forever. And then Alex, really being the true friend that she is, she made my dreams come true. Well, three points weekend.
Alex Earl
Because Sally doesn't stop talking about something until she wants it to happen. Like it will. Sally. If something's in Sally's mind, like, it, she won't let it go. So like, we were leaving to go to the airport at like 10am Well.
Sally
I wanted to go all weekend, but then we were just too tired.
Alex Earl
She was like, I want to go to space, I want to go to space. And our friends were going in the morning and we, we had a flight. We had a flight.
Sally
And this, it was Pasa. He had his set started at 10:00am and I was like, well, we could go for 30 minutes.
Alex Earl
And Sally's like, what if we just stopped, went to space for 30 minutes before the airport? And I was like, sally, like, I love you so much, but like, for what? Like, we will go to space so many more times in our life. Like today we're going to be there for 12 hours. Like, we don't need to go. And she's just like, I really want to go, I really want to go, Whatever.
Sally
But to be fair, we always say we're gonna go to space and we never do. And she's like, we have so many more times to go. And I'm like, okay, but when? Because we never go.
Alex Earl
So I knew that this was just one. And Sally was like, it's fine, we don't need to go. And I just knew because, like, I know Sally so well. We've been friends for 10 years. Like, I just knew this was something that was going to dawn on her until, like, we were gonna be like, grandma's in wheelchairs and she's gonna be like, remember that time you didn't let me go to space? And I was like, I actually, it was like, I actually just like, can't hear this from her anymore. So I was like, sally, fine, we're going to go for 30 minutes. So we put our suitcases in the car to go to the airport. We got an Uber. And I told my Uber. I was like, hey, can you wait like 30 minutes? We're going to go into the club right now. We'll be out in 30 minutes. Like, give you a big tip, whatever. He was like, okay, sure. So I'm also just like hoping that this guy doesn't like run off with our luggage and all of our bags. We went in our airport clothes to the club at 10am for 30 minutes and then left. And like, it, it was fun, but.
Sally
It changed my life. It was the best 30 minutes of my life. And I walked in and I said, this is exactly where I'm meant to be in this moment and this is going to be the venue for my 24 hour party. And that's where we are now.
Alex Earl
Should we tell them How? You're a witch.
Sally
Oh, I'm also a witch, and.
Alex Earl
Which is.
Sally
My crystal's in my other bag, but.
Alex Earl
Well, you'll have to bring it.
Sally
Oh, it's in the bag out there. I just need to switch everything to hear I'm a witch. Everything I say comes true.
Alex Earl
This is. No, no, this is real. Sally's a witch, and I'm not kidding. Like, she says stuff. Should we tell them about disco Shark?
Sally
Oh, oh, okay. So our thing is disco Shark. I don't know if you guys have seen, like, the video of me giving Alex the disco shark. And.
Alex Earl
Yeah, we love disco sharks. Yeah.
Sally
Okay. Well, let me tell you why we love disco Sharks. So we were at Coachella this year, and I don't know, like, how it started. I think we saw a video of something, and it was not of Coachella. People are like, oh, it was definitely of Coachella. It wasn't. It was of something totally random, and it was of, like, a disco shark or, like, a disco dolphin. Like, something, like, totally random. You're like, oh, my God. Like, that's so cool. And then we went to the set at Coachella. We're having the best time ever. We're leaving, and I'm just like, disco shark, disco shark. Like, I turned into a disco shark. It was. All I could talk about was disco shark, disco shark.
Alex Earl
Yeah. So the whole night, she's like, something was disco shark, disco shark, disco shark.
Sally
Like, someone asked me a question, I'd be like, disco shark. It's just my answer. We go into the Yuma tent, which is our favorite place on this planet.
Alex Earl
Yes.
Sally
Like, spread my ashes there. We walk in, we're having the best time ever. I'm still disco shark.
Alex Earl
We're dancing all of a sudden.
Sally
I kid you not. Like, we. I'm. I'm really not kidding at all.
Alex Earl
The ceiling opens.
Sally
The ceiling, ceiling. It opens up a disco shark. Like a disco ball, but it's shaped like a shark, comes from the ceiling down, and we're all like.
Alex Earl
I grabbed Sally, and I was like, it's disco shark.
Sally
But there's also. There's a video, and I'm taking a video of something. Like, I don't even know what. And Alex is like, you're a witch.
Alex Earl
You're a witch. I have a. I have a video. I'm like, you're a witch. You're a witch. You're a witch. Because Sally is a witch. Like, she. And for years, I thought she was crazy for years, and.
Sally
Because I'll say something, and we're like, okay, Sally, whatever.
Alex Earl
And now she has this crystal that, like, is from.
Sally
It's from Zion National Park.
Alex Earl
Okay.
Sally
My brother gave it to me.
Alex Earl
And, like, we'll bring this crystal out and, like, say, we're not having fun at a party. Sally brings this crystal out, we hold it. Somehow someone we know that's, like, very high up or something will, like, walk in the room and be like, hey, want to come over here and, like, we'll go to this exclusive thing and, like, get this trip over. Like, we. It literally works wonders. We. How many times have we used that crystal? We hold it and we wish for something, and it happens. I was in. I was in college. This guy wouldn't answer me. And I called Sally on FaceTime. She had her rose quartz. And I was like, sally, I'm so upset. This guy won't answer me. It's been like a week. He's been ghosting me. I'm so upset. And Sally goes, let me, like, hold my rose quartz right now. And, like, think about it. Whatever. She holds these Rose Quartz on FaceTime. While we are on FaceTime, this guy texts me she's a witch.
Sally
Yeah, but it doesn't work for myself. It's only for other people. So maybe my witchy powers will work in 2025.
Alex Earl
Witchy powers are happening today. See, you're a witch, though. Like, you say there you're not a witch. And, like, things are happening today where, like, witchy things are happening.
Sally
Yeah, like, somehow.
Alex Earl
Somehow her.
Sally
We're having a 24 hour party is the first one. It kind of really did start as a joke. And then all of a sudden, I was like, wow, I truly did create a monster. And now we have to have a 24 hour party. What have I done?
Alex Earl
Yeah, we, like, should get going to the party. And then I feel like we're going to vlog for you guys and bring you guys along, and then somehow we're going to podcast at the end of this 24 hour party, which.
Sally
Oh, gosh, it's midnight.
Alex Earl
Yeah, we have to go.
Sally
The P H L pink Hummer limo is going to be at Braxton's in 15 minutes. They probably texted me.
Alex Earl

Sally

Alex Earl
No.
Sally
And then we're doing.
Alex Earl
We're not doing a 48. We are not doing a 48 hour party.
Sally
No, I'm kidding. I'm happy that we did it and I feel super accomplished. However, I don't need to ever do it again.
Alex Earl
It was like kind of one of those things where like by the end, well actually by the end of it we were on the last hour, I was like, wait, we could keep going.
Sally
Yeah.
Alex Earl
Because we were so overtired at that point. But like there was points during this and I was like, hey Sally, like I want you to know once it hits 7pm like I'm done being a good friend and I'm going home. Yeah.
Sally
Our Ubers were called at seven.
Alex Earl
I it literally hit seven and I turned to ash and said, call the Uber, we need to get out of here.
Sally
But then they were like playing good music and we didn't want, we wanted to say.
Alex Earl
Then I was like probably not good for my mental health. Sally's an influencer now. She blew up overnight. Hey guys, how many followers? How many followers did you gain?
Sally
I doubled my following, which is crazy. I'm sorry that I don't post too often and. And that I'm a pe.
Alex Earl
But yeah, I mean, you have to start posing more for everyone. Yeah, we love your content.
Sally
I'll post.
Alex Earl
Sorry.
Sally
It's not good. If anyone was wondering why my username is what it is, I was hacked and you can't change your username for 30 days.
Alex Earl
So her username is I'm a prostitute.
Sally
Yes. I'm not. But that's my username and her hacker.
Alex Earl
Was posting P pornography on there. So she lost some of her followers.
Sally
I did. And I was sad. I was like, oh my gosh, everybody hates me and thinks I'm doing a really crazy rebrand. But I wasn't. It was just my hacker. But he's really.
Alex Earl
It is kind of your rebrand now though. Though. Because now we're kind of loving it.
Sally
No, we are loving. I don't know if I'm going to change my back. I'm just a pee.
Alex Earl
I feel like you kind of have to keep it cuz you're a pee.
Sally
I know. I definitely have to keep it.
Alex Earl
Okay, so starting off, I feel like we need to walk through everything. Starting off always good, always dandy to begin, right? Yeah. Nothing crazy happened like.
Sally
No, actually the night started off crazy. I don't know if anyone has the clip, but what the second. So we ran out there. We were like, it's seven because we were starting at seven. Ran out there.
Alex Earl
Oh yeah.
Sally
Blue everywhere. So I guess it did. It was our good omen. And then at seven we started. Champagne went everywhere.
Alex Earl
We finished getting ready, we had a little cocktail hour. Sally's brother and friends flew from Vegas to here for this.
Sally
And thank God they did.
Alex Earl
Thank God they did because there was only us and them left standing pretty much until the end. And then dinner was great. So I feel like a big part of this was like how did you get through the 24 hours? Was like we were very set on like this is a marathon, not a sprint. So like dinner, like normally if it was a birthday dinner, we'd be like shots, like we took no shots. I think everyone had maybe like two drinks at dinner.
Sally
Yeah, if that.
Alex Earl
So I was a good, like I was a good buzzed. I was feeling good after dinner is actually feeling great. And then we pre gamed, which I only took I think in the full 24 hours. I think I only took maybe three shots.
Sally
I definitely took more than three. But I was being so careful because I was like, I. I am making it this 24 hours.
Alex Earl
I really thought, like, because Sally, like, there's times when Sally's just Sally, she gets a little crazy. But, like, you were like, fine. Everyone was fine.
Sally
I was very, like, just smooth sailing the whole day. I just really wanted to do this.
Alex Earl
We pre gamed at Braxton's house and thank, like, Braxton's just the best because he always lets me, like, have pre games at his house because it's just, like, better than an apartment. It's easy with people coming in now. They don't have to go up the elevator. So we all went to Braxton's house and I got Sally this stripper because I just, like, wanted, like, a fun little surprise. And I know that Sally wouldn't like it because Sally just, like, doesn't like stuff like that. Like, I knew that that would be her worst nightmare. So I feel bad. No, I feel bad for the stripper.
Sally
I'm saying I feel bad for the stripper.
Alex Earl
Well, I, like, went outside before. I was like, hey, like, we only need your services for, like, maybe 10 minutes. He was like, well, like, I can't charge for less than an hour. I was like, it's okay. But, like, really, like, just, like five to 10 minutes. Like, we just want the fun, like, element of surprise. He, like, okay, like, whatever. So Sally, I knew I had to, like, because he was showing up as a policeman knocking on the door for a noise complaint, which I feel like is just very, like, that's the stripper or whatever. And I didn't want Sally to, like, be just knowing it was a stripper right away. So there was a hot pink limo parked outside of Braxton's house to take us to the club. So I was like, okay. So he came to the door and I was like, wait, turn the music off. Everyone shuts off the music. Everyone was in on the joke besides Ally. And oh, my God, it's so good. So I was like, yeah, like, turn the music off. And I was like, sally, like, they need you and, like, your id because your pink limo is like your name's on the limo in the street or something. So Sally, like, runs to the door.
Sally
I thought that the limo was, like, blocking the street or something was happening. I was like, oh, my gosh, such a nightmare. Whatever.
Alex Earl
She runs to the door and her little, like, feather booty shorts, and she's talking to this police which is a stripper. And the whole entire party is behind sally, like, all 30 of us with our cameras out. Like, this, like, flash was probably on Sally. She's having a two minute conversation with this man. And I was like, okay, so she doesn't realize that this is a stripper. And I knew she didn't realize because it was. It was like, so. And I could see her hands, like, kind of shaking. Like, I was like, oh, man, she's, like, nervous right now. And then she saw the speaker in his hand. I mean, he had ripped jeans on, a SWAT vest and, like, a speaker in his hand. And she thought it was a policeman for the first, like, two minutes he was there.
Sally
Okay, well, I wasn't looking down to see that he had ripped jeans on. I was just thinking in my head.
Alex Earl
Like, it was just the swap.
Sally
He was like, I need to inspect. And I was like, inspect what? Like, what do you mean? And then I looked down and I saw a speaker in rippjeans. I was like. I turned around and I looked at them. I go, this is my worst nightmare.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Sally
And then that's why I'm like, oh, so then.
Alex Earl
So then, like, she turns around, he figures out that it's a stripper. So he likes flicks on his, like, magic mic music. And he, like, comes in the house and, like, Sally was, like, in the corner, like, no, no, no, no, I don't want to. And I was like, okay, well, like, come on. Whatever. So, like, I had to, like, pull Sally over into this chair. And he was like, had his clothes on, whatever. But he was just, like. He was just, like, dancing, like, fun. And we all were, like, standing there just, like, smiling, laughing. Sally's brother was, like, holding his ears in the corner.
Sally
Poor James. I, like, embraced it by the end because I was like, oh, my gosh. Wait. I feel really bad for him. Like, like, he's just as uncomfortable as I am. Like, poor guy.
Alex Earl
Like, it must be hard for when, like, a stripper gets hired and the person doesn't want this. The service.
Sally
Yeah.
Alex Earl
Because Sally was literally like. She was like, no, no, no, no, no. And he was just trying to, like, dance.
Sally
I know. And then I, I then in the end was like, okay, yeah, like, I'm sorry. Like, I'll have fun.
Alex Earl
He was there for, like, five minutes.
Sally
And then we did a little.
Alex Earl
He did. He, like, brought in it, like, very obviously, like, like, whatever. Just, like, wasn't the vibes of, like, I'm sure, like, some parties, like, want it and they want it, like, Whatever. We just wanted, like, fun to dance. Whatever. So he starts, like, conga line. He, like, brings in everyone else. He was like, okay. He, like, pulled off his pants, and then we did, like, a conga line. And then we did a. What is that thing? A limbo. And then he was like, you got. You got the bottle. Like, we could get a bottle. I was like, I think we're good. I was like, Sally's, like, not enjoying her time.
Sally
Sweating and, like, so anxious. I believe this is happening. My brother is here. This man's, like, slapping a belt on my ass. Oh, sorry. Can I say ass? He didn't actually hit me with the belt, but, yeah, everyone thought that he did. He just hit it very close to me.
Alex Earl
Oh, my God. It was really. It was something. It was good. But my favorite part was that she really thought it was a policeman.
Sally
Yeah, I really did.
Alex Earl
So then after that, shortly after, we get into this hot pink limo. So I feel like we need to give the background on the hot pink limo.
Sally
Well, I've always wanted a hot pink limo. I don't know what.
Alex Earl
Sally knew nothing that she wanted to play in for this 24 hours, except.
Sally
That I wanted a hot pink limo.
Alex Earl
So she's, like, looking up, like, where can I get, like, a hot pink limo in, like, Miami? And she's like, I found this one website.
Sally
I was like, I found it. It's the one. And Alex goes, oh, like, what is it? The company is hotpinklimo.com. and Alex goes, sally, no, you need to.
Alex Earl
I was like, let's find a more, like, reputable site. Like, this just seems like it just can't be hot pinklimo.com. miami. Like, this just seems like, whatever. And she was like, so this is actually the only place that has a hot pink limo. So, like, we're gonna have to get this. And it was perfect. Beyond the inside was she to print, which we didn't know.
Sally
Yeah, I know. It pulled up and already I was like, wow. Like, this is so amazing. We walk in ice cream cheetah print. Obviously, we're from New Jersey. We love cheetah print. And I could not believe my eyes. And I only want to go everywhere in my life in this hot pink Cheetah limo.
Alex Earl
The hot pink Cheetah limo was, like, the peak of the night. Like, everyone was just like, yeah, just like, you know when you're, like, kind of freshly drunk, like, buzz, like, feel. Everyone was feeling good as we're, like, on the way to space and we're posting, like, in real time, trying to keep everyone involved like this 24 hour extravaganza. People are like, hey, so you're gonna be like gridlocked in to space in the morning because of the Miami Marathon. So we look up the Miami Marathon like track and then we look up where space is and it's literally like surrounding from like the ocean down and over. It's the race. And space is just like in the middle of that. So we were like, how are we gonna leave? How are we gonna get home? But like we're going to space, so we're just gonna like figure that out later. So we kind of knew that going into the night that that might be.
Sally
A little start line and the finish line were both like somehow in front of space. Like, we were like trapped.
Alex Earl
We were like actually in the race. So we get to space. Our one friend, like she's like worked there before, so she was able to like hook us up. And it was like so much fun. We were having the best time ever. We were having so much fun. The one thing though about space is it can be a little bit over stimulating. Like there's just like, like a lot of people in there and a lot going on and like the lights and the music and the whatever and like, I. I don't know, I guess it's just like a mix of. I have been all over the place the past month, so I've been just a little bit of everywhere. And I went like straight from like airport to trip. I was on a plane like every other day this past month. And like, I just. I probably wasn't getting enough sleep as it is. So it hit like, I think it was like 3:30 in the morning. I was a little bit overstimulated. It was a little bit like tired, a little bit anxious. And I would like try and like go and like stand by like the bathroom or like the hallway in space and just try and like I kept being like with Braxton because Braxton wasn't coming out for the whole 24 hours, but he was like, I'll come out with you guys for a little bit. And I was just trying to like, you know, breathe for a second and like, space. So much fun. Love you guys. So many people there. And I was just. I was running into a lot of girls and meeting a lot of girls and like, I don't know, it was just like one of those moments where I was like, I just need some like, fresh air and like, need a breather. And it was also the time that Braxton was going home because Braxton wasn't staying the whole night. So Braxton was like, well, I'm getting an Uber to my house if you want to come with me. And then you could just, like, circle and go back. Whatever. So I went to Braxton's house. We sat on the couch for a second, and I passed out. Like, it was one of those things where, like, I don't even remember falling asleep. And I woke up two hours later and was like, holy fuck, the sun had just risen. And I was like. And I was freaking out. I didn't know what time it was. Thank God it was so early. I. I had one shoe on, one shoe off. I literally was just, like, in my clothes, like, straight on the couch. So I slipped on my other boot and I grabbed a water bottle. I run out the house, and Braxton catches me, like, in the driveway. He was like, where are you going? It's like 6 in. I was like, I'm going back to space. And he was like, what? And I was like, yeah, I'm going back to space. So I. I mean, like, obviously I had to continue. I didn't even mean. It was like, an accidental thing, but I guess my body needed it. So, like, I'm not going to be mad at her. And then I get in this Uber to go back to space alone. And then I'm, like, on the way there, and I'm like, wait, can I even, like, get back in? Like, I don't know. Like, I was like, I have my bands on, but, like, I. Our friend, like, got us in the door before. I'm like, how do I even get in right now? So also on top of this, I'm realizing that the Miami marathon had just started. So I'm like, okay, am I even going to be able to get into space? And, like, my Uber, thankfully, like, went around this highway somehow and, like, dropped me off. But I did see people running, and I was like, this is great for you that you guys are running at 6 in the morning, this marathon. I'm going back to the club. So I came back, and I honestly think it was a blessing in disguise because it was right at the point where, like, I got there and, like, you guys all were kind of, like, sitting down at the table. Like, everyone was giving, like, a little bit tired.
Sally
Like, we were definitely tired.
Alex Earl
And I came in and I was a surprise because no one really knew I was coming back because I just, like, plopped out of nowhere. And so it was fun. And then we got, like, the space has These, like, coconut waters, they're so good. Like coconut waters in a coconut. And they say club space. So obviously, what could be better?
Sally
Yeah, Space just somehow knows exactly what you need and when you need it. Like, right before Alex came, they came around with these little tiny.
Alex Earl
I'm really mad I missed these.
Sally
And I was like. Like, I don't think I really want ice cream. Like, it's 7:00 in the morning. Like, I'm good. And then I was like, you know what? Like, why not have a lick?
Alex Earl
That was one before that because it was like, dark out.
Sally
I don't know what time it was. I lost track. We can check my time stamp. It was at hour 12. No, it was. It was at seven hour 12. Little tiny baby ice creams. That was my TikTok. Thank God we were updating in real time.
Alex Earl
Yeah.
Sally
But they brought them over and they were, for some reason, just like the best ice cream. And it was just the best thing I've ever had in my entire life. And then the grilled cheese lived up.
Alex Earl
So when I got there, the grilled cheese had just arrived as well. And something about, like, the food that they make at Space is so good. Like, how do you have an awesome club, awesome drinks, awesome music, awesome vibe and awesome food? Like, I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was so good.
Sally
Yeah.
Alex Earl
And was that your first space grilled cheese?
Sally
That was my first space grilled cheese. I've been waiting for it. And it absolutely lived up to the hype.
Alex Earl
We are at Space. We're dancing in the morning. And then we went back because we had IVs, but getting back for us was easy. But getting back for, like, the other half of our group was not so easy because the Miami Marathon, they got trapped and they had to run the Miami.
Sally
James, Jess, Alyssa.
Alex Earl
It was just them.
Sally
And.
Alex Earl
Oh, and Trent.
Sally
Trent, James, jessalissa and Trent all got stuck in the Miami Marathon. They were running through it, across it, everything you can imagine. Like. Like, I need to post these videos because it is so crazy. And I'm honestly, like, I am jealous, because that's really funny. And I wish that I could have experienced.
Alex Earl
No it.
Sally
However, I was in heels for 12 hours. Those big clunky gold heels, I had them on. And if I was wearing that through the Miami Marathon, I just. No, I know that I would have seen someone I knew and I would have been really.
Alex Earl
They said that they were running and they like. Like, I mean, they weren't running, but they were walking and they went Past one of the tables where they have, like, food and snacks and water. And they were like, like, that looks really good. But, like, we can't take that right now because that's for the runners. And they got to, like, the second or third table. And, like, someone, like, saw lys on her heels and was like, please take this water.
Sally
Oh, my God. We. I didn't even know that happened.
Alex Earl
So, yeah, they were trapped. So we went back to Braxton's house, and the only reason we didn't get trapped, which I don't know how my Uber just knew what to do, but he went through this, like, tunnel.
Sally
Oh, my gosh.
Alex Earl
I've actually never seen a tunnel in Miami before.
Sally
So I felt like I was back in New York City.
Alex Earl
I was like, hey, are we, like, in these, like, L. A underground tunnel right now? Because where are we going? We were through a tunnel, and then we got to Braxton's house and we got these IVs, which I'm so if we didn't get those IVs, I don't think we would have made it throughout the entire day.
Sally
No. At that point, I was. I could not do it. I put my head underneath.
Alex Earl
Ashton was non verbal, face down on the couch. She was like, I'm not getting an iv. And I was like, hey, you're gonna get an iv. And I, like, pulled her up and I just gave her arm to the guy. And then after she got the iv, she was literally bouncing off the wall.
Sally
She was like, the best one out of all.
Alex Earl
Yeah. She was like, let's go. Like, let's go. And I was like, ashton, what? Like, I knew you should have got.
Sally
I was underneath the blanket. My body was twitching. And then I was just like, just do it. And I was fine.
Alex Earl
I got McDonald's. So we got back to the room, and I got, like, the McDonald's like, hash browns that are just like. Like, they were so hot. So, like, greasy and crispy. So sitting on the couch, eating a hash brown and, like, getting hydrated in the iv and it was good. And they give, like, all the stuff in the IV besides hydration. It'll be, like, stuff that basically, that's, like, Advil or something. So it, like, helps a headache and helps, like, nausea. So that, like, really was a game changer for us. And I would say, like, if we didn't have those, I don't think we would. We all would have passed out on the couch. Like, we would not have made it it. So that was definitely, like, a really big hack. I would say, for getting this day going. And then we went to a boat.
Sally
So they surprised me with a boat?
Alex Earl
Yes, they surprised her with a boat. So we all knew this boat was happening, but she didn't. So we were trying to, like, lie to her about, like, what our plans were for the next day. And when she kept trying to, like, logically ask about it or timing, we were like, don't worry about it. Like, we'll figure it out, whatever.
Sally
And I don't plan anything, so I'm like, okay.
Alex Earl
She was like, okay, yeah, sure. So we got on. This boat was not a boat, was like a massive yacht that they booked, which was just like. It was insane also.
Sally
Yeah, I.
Alex Earl
There was like a mega bed on it. I've never seen a huge layout like this.
Sally
There was a huge megabyte. There was a hot tub, There was a jet ski.
Alex Earl
Like, they brought up champagne and fruit.
Sally
It was really the craziest boat I've ever seen. And I posted a TikTok. And right before I said it, just said it. And I was just, like, repeating it, like, as a joke. Obviously, I'm like, just. Unless I got a boat. Super small boat. Like, obviously I was kidding. And everyone in the comments like, you're so ungrateful calling this a small boat.
Alex Earl
Well, she's a big time influencer now and she's expecting, like, bigger yachts now.
Sally
This boat was bigger than my house. Like, it was gigantic.
Alex Earl
Yeah. And we were on. This boat was like, all good, but, like, I started drinking water at this point and I stopped drinking alcohol. So hour, like 18, which was like an hour or so into this boat ride, I hit a wall where I was like, oh, my God. Like, I don't feel good. Like, I was tired, I was nauseous, I wanted to go to bed. My head hurt. I was like. I literally kept looking over the side of the boat because I was like, if I, like, get sick, like, am I gonna. Like, is my aim good? Like, am I gonna make it off? And then I just kept drinking more margaritas. And I, like. It was one of those things where, like, once I had, like, another two drinks because everyone was like, what happened from hour, like, 18 to 19 in your vlog? I was just like, I just have to drink. And Ashton had, like, three mimosas and she was feeling great bouncing off the wall. So then, like, once I drank, I got back into it and I felt, like, good and fine and stable. So we were on the boat, and then we went from the boat to a club and Kygo was playing there and it was so much fun. It was Braxton's, like, best friend's birthday there too. So we meet all of them there and everyone. Like, when we showed up to this.
Sally
Club, like, everyone was like, oh, my God, what are you guys doing here?
Alex Earl
Like, also this club's like, it's like an outdoor day club type of vibe, but everyone's kind of like, dressy there. Nice. Ashton was showing up in slippers. I was in the clothes that I was wearing from the night before. Like, I've been in these clothes for, like, 24 hours. At this point.
Sally
I was in, like, a hat, sunglasses.
Alex Earl
Probably smell. I probably smelled. I don't know. Like, I felt, like, disgusting. Like, think of I had sunglasses and a hat on solely for the fact of, like, I didn't have any makeup left on my face at this point. Like, I felt so disgusting. And we're walking into this club and, like, people had seen us and, like, knew we were on this 24 hour bender. And they were like, no way. And all Braxton's friends were like, what the are you guys doing? Because we were like, this is our 24th hour. And they were like, what?
Sally
And we were walking in and everyone's like, you guys are insane. Yeah, like, I know, but just give us this last hour.
Alex Earl
Just give us this last hour. And then we did it. We made it. 701 Uber was called. We went back here and then we got food. The Grammys were on, and I was like five bites into my food and I was like, I have to go to bed. I was so tired. And then that was a wrap. And then we had photo shoots the last two days. So I have been having actually zero sleep sleep and was probably like, the worst timing for that, but it was actually so much fun.
Sally
Yeah, it went super well.
Alex Earl
Like, I can't imagine what you would have done for your birthday if we didn't do this.
Sally
I know. Like, what were we gonna do? Go to dinner? Go out? No. So next year, tune in for 25 hours. I'm kidding. I'm actually not celebrating my birthday for a really long time.
Alex Earl
Yeah, I mean, this was like a big. This was like, really. You used up, like, all the selfishness this that you could have for this.
Sally
Last year I spent my birthday just like my birthday last year I had the birthday blues, basically, and this year I didn't. So this was a double birthday.
Alex Earl
Yeah, she's been talking about this birthday all year too, but I don't think there's anyone else that would have requested a 24 hour birthday party that like all of our friends would have gone to. Granted, only four of us actually lasted until the last hour. But James, Justin, Alyssa just had to make their flight. They were blasted. They left it like hour 23.
Sally
They technically, they. They left at hour 23 and went to the airport. Like, they technically did make it the 24 hours. They made it 30 hours because they had to get on a plane to Las Vegas. So they. We're going to make. I'm going to make merch. And they definitely get some merch.
Alex Earl
You're making merch?
Sally
Yeah. Well, like for us. For like.
Alex Earl
Oh my God, guys, I told you her head is getting big. Okay, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
Sally
You didn't hear me and Ashley talking about this?
Alex Earl
No. What merch? Like, I made it 24 hours?
Sally
Yeah, something like that.
Alex Earl
What?
Sally
It's a surprise.
Alex Earl
Oh, God. Okay. Sally always has like surprises or something up her sleeve. But I'm so happy that you guys finally got to meet Sally. And maybe we'll have her back on now that she's like, like the next big thing.
Sally
They're gonna think scary things.
Alex Earl
No, I'm not. I'm. We're just. We're just like so proud of immap. And I'm a P. Is perfect. And I think the thing is like, Sally's so perfect. So we're happy now that everyone else is realizing how perfect Sally is.
Sally
Oh my gosh. Now my head's gonna get big.
