We are going to make a white bean verde chicken chili. And this is one of the first times I'm cooking in this apartment, which is really sad.

Asia
How long have you lived here?
- [01:35]
Alex
Well, I've been here since August, but Dancing with the Stars, I didn't really have time to cook. And then before that, it's always just in between travel that I'm here, but it's Sunday. We got nothing else to do. So me, Asia, and Tyler are gonna have some chili, and I got this big pot, and we don't have a lot of countertop space, so we're gonna be also using my dining room table. But here's all the ingredients. This is like, one of my favorite things to make. I feel like I have a few recipes and then I just rotate them. But this is just good because it's like, I don't know, it's fulfilling. It's delicious. It's a little spicy, and it's just like, I love soup, so it's like a comfort food for me. So we get a rotisserie chicken, cannelli, beans, green chilies, poblano peppers, onion, garlic, lime, jalapeno salt, pepper, like, onion, garlic powder, cilantro, bone broth, and then chips. If you also want to, like, scoop it with a chip if you're feeling crazy.
- [02:36]
Asia
So it's like a chunky soup.
- [02:37]
Alex
It's like a Chunky soup. It's not like a full blended thing. Like, there's still some broth in there. We also, like, blend it up at some point. It's really the perfect meal. We're just gonna chit chat and cook. Yay. Are you excited? Are you excited? He's just so excited. She's never seen this much food out on the counter. So we're gonna start by heating up. I don't. This might be, like, a little bit bigger than I need, but we can always save extra. Okay, so we're gonna put that on and then olive oil. I was like, do I have olive oil? Yeah, it's. Seriously, I don't know what's going. I think there's olive oil back there. Oh, yeah. This is the good stuff. I just like the way that this, like, pours out of this little thing. So we're gonna actually. I should probably chop the things first. Let's talk and chop. This is so exciting. Asia, are you proud of me? So we're gonna start by chopping up half of a white onion.
- [03:42]
Asia
What's happening?
- [03:45]
Alex
I feel like you're supposed to use this, but this is not that big for this, so I guess we'll use this. I don't know. I always cry when I chop onion as well, but I've been just crying a lot recently in general. Now we can blame it on the onion. I love cooking, and I wish that I had more recipes up my sleeves.
- [04:08]
Asia
Is there anything else that you cook, like, regularly that is, like, your favorite thing to cook?
- [04:16]
Alex
I wonder what that means. It's just getting hot, I guess. Anything else I cook regular that I like to cook. I haven't cooked in so long, which is terrible. I feel like I used to cook at least a few times a week. I love. What is it? It's like spaghetti squash. I would always like to make that. There was a few, like, steak, like, summer salads that I would make just, like, good, easy recipes, like zucchini. I want to learn how to make, like, a good tofu something.
- [04:52]
Asia
Tofu?
- [04:53]
Alex
Yeah. You don't like tofu?
- [04:55]
Asia
Yeah. I'm not a huge fan.
- [04:56]
Alex
I like the texture of it.
- [04:57]
Asia
What is it? Miso soup has tofu in it. When I was a little kid, I used to call it Jell o chicken because that's how it tasted.
- [05:04]
Alex
Yellow chicken. Jello.
- [05:05]
Asia
Jello chicken. You know how it's, like, kind of squishy?
- [05:08]
Alex
Yeah, I like that.
- [05:09]
Asia
So I have a bunch of what would Alex do? Questions.
- [05:12]
Alex
Oh, yeah.
- [05:13]
Asia
Would you wanna get into the first one.
- [05:15]
Alex
Yeah, we got some questions from you guys that we're gonna answer. I don't even know if I'm doing this right now. I always hate cooking online because everyone always has big opinions about what I'm doing wrong. And I'm like, at least like, it's gonna get there at some point. It's just taking a second.
- [05:34]
Asia
I mean, it looks good.
- [05:35]
Alex
Yeah. Let's do some questions while I start crying.
- [05:39]
Asia
The first one is about friendship breakups. How do you deal with friendship breakups? I recently went through one and it's hard sometimes to make new friends and find a new friend group. What is the best advice for me to grow as a person and also have fun?
- [05:54]
Alex
Well, I guess there's a lot of elements to that. Once someone shows their colors of like, you're not a good person or I can't trust you, pretty good at just like cutting them out. But it's hard when you lose a friend either way. Like, just maybe you grow apart. You're in different parts of your life. Like, it doesn't necessarily have to be something bad. Like, sometimes you just lose friends. Sometimes you move away from friends. Like here, I will say I have friends. I know people. But, like, I was even thinking about, I want to go see, like, Withering Heights. But, like, I know girls from, like, partying, but I feel scared to text them and be like, want to go see a movie with me? And like, what if they, like, they probably have their own plans and their own friends and they've probably already seen it with their friends. So I don't want to, like, bother people. So I think, like, reaching out to new people has been a goal of mine and something I want to work on. But there's also something nice about, like, spending some time with yourself. So I've also been trying to enjoy that recently. I always say, like, find people that are, like, doing the same things you like. Like, if I'm at my workout class, whatever. Just like chit chatting with people before or after. Like, finding people that like same hobbies, I guess as you do, I think is a good way to meet people. Just talking and introducing yourself, like, it seems a lot scarier in the moment. But even when you're in like big groups of people, I always used to, like, be scared, like if we're at like a party or something and there's like another like, big friend group there. Like, I always got scared to like, talk to them. But then I always feel like then you end up just looking like a bitch if you're not going up and introducing yourself. So that's been something I've been working on and doing as well recently. But think like friends come and go and I mean, some friends come and go. Put yourself out there. I don't want the fire alarm to go off. That seems like a little.
- [07:49]
Asia
A little hot.
- [07:50]
Alex
It's a little too hot. Wait, the fire alarm's like, gonna go off. Oh, yeah. I can't see you from the hunting. Okay, wait. It's like really steamy and I can't see what went wrong. It was too hot, you think?
- [08:13]
Asia
Yeah, it might have been too hot to put the oil in.
- [08:19]
Alex
Well, this is going great.
- [08:25]
Asia
It is burning.
- [08:27]
Alex
The oil's burning.
- [08:28]
Asia
Yeah.
- [08:28]
Alex
Okay, well, we're gonna have to start that over. It smells like a fire and I can't see from the onions. Asia, what did I do? What did I do, girl? Yeah, Smokey in here. I mean, seriously, something's wrong with the pot, I think, like, why does that just not look right? Yeah. Let's turn this down. So you're gonna start with a low simmer. Not a big flame. Much better low simmer. You're gonna put your onion in. So on a very low heat, we're gonna let that cook. Now onto garlic.
- [09:26]
Asia
Alright, so the next question is titled long distance. I've had a boyfriend for almost two years now, and we've been long distance the whole time. I recently have been feeling like I've been outgrowing him as a person. As we both are getting older. I also think there's someone who may be sparking my interest because we are more similar. I'm a chronic overthinker and I feel bad. What would Alex do?
- [09:49]
Alex
Alex would follow how you feel. I mean, like, that's really sad. And two years is a long time to be with someone. Ultimately, if you're not feeling it like, you, I think will know that in your gut. And I think it's important to go with your gut instincts. And like, I think like two years, if you're not with someone in person and you're doing long distance and you don't know, like, maybe when that will end. I think that could also be just really tricky. And I don't know. I think Alex would follow her gut and just go for that feeling, like, you shouldn't be having. You definitely should not be having feelings for someone else if you're in a relationship. So that's not a great sign. And I think the fact that you're even like asking is telling. So I think even Though it might be hard, I would say go with your gut and break up.
- [10:42]
Asia
Let's do a little more fun of a question, this next one.
- [10:46]
Alex
Yeah.
- [10:48]
Asia
Oh, it's about Netflix.
- [10:50]
Alex
Oh.
- [10:50]
Asia
How is shooting the reality show? How is it different than you expected? Is it different than shooting the vlogs? And what's been the most surprising thing since you've started?
- [11:00]
Alex
So shooting for my family's reality show's been really fun, but it's definitely been, like, a learning lesson. And there's been a lot of, like, I've been overthinking a lot just because it's something new. And I think the biggest thing is, like, I don't have really the control with it. One thing I've been thinking about, too, is, like, there's moments where, like, I'll say something and be like, well, you know, like, that really pissed me off, but, like, I see the side of that they're. They're coming from and whatever. And I'm like, definitely. Like, the parts where I'm, like, saying nice things or, like, retracting what I'm saying, I'm like, that's definitely probably not getting in the edit. So I think it's just scary, like, how things can be edited and portrayed. And, like, that's at least what I've heard from a lot of people. But it is really fun. And I was worried at first of, like, how much more can you guys even know about me? Like, I just feel like I share everything. And then once we really got into filming, I was like, oh, okay. Like, this is definitely a lot more than people are used to seeing. And it's really crazy because when there's an issue, like, you not even just, like, talking, like, ugh, this person pissed me off. Like, you have to, like, go up and, like, talk to them and figure out the issue, which, like, usually I feel like sometimes, like, we'll just sweep things under the rug and we're like, eh, you know, like, let's not disturb the peace of the family. But, like, it is good. Like, it's kind of like we're in family therapy. Like, you've really got to talk through all the issues and, like, have conversations face to face with people. But, like, it's also been scary. Like, it's kind of scary to confront people about how you're feeling. So it's been really fun, and I think it's so far been really good at just portraying, like, the behind the scenes of everything and, like, my life, my family, business, relationships. Like, it's been fun I guess to like capture all those moments that like sometimes I normally wouldn't share. Like things that happen in real time or like I'll receive a text or see something and like just the raw reactions to it. But it's just scary. I think like the more you share, the more room there is for like judgment and like I'm not perfect and I know that. So I think just like preparing myself just like that I know I'm going in and being honest and just gotta stay true to myself and hope people like it. Or they may think I'm crazy. I don't know. Just everything that's been going on in my life the past few months is obviously covered because we've been filming and I think certain like discussions with certain family members I would say too, like me and my stepmom have been having to have like a lot of conversations and like our relationship and it's been good, it's been scary. There's like also been drama with that. It's just, it's a lot. But I think everyone hopefully will like it. But it's just crazy. Like I can't imagine it, how it all comes together.
- [13:45]
Asia
Alright, I have another question. I've really been struggling with anxiety recently and I feel like it's impacting my day to day life. I have a lot of other things going on which is also making handling the anxiety even harder. I've tried therapy, journaling and breathing techniques but nothing seemed to work. I'm scared to ask my doctor to put me on medication, but I really feel like it would help and don't know what to do at this point. What would you do?
- [14:10]
Alex
I mean what I did do was go on medication and I think that was something that was suggested to me. And in the beginning I'm on Lexapro, been on like 10 milligrams of Lexapro since I've been 14, which is crazy. And I was so reluctant to do it at first and I was like, there's no way, I don't need that. But it really did help me. Like there's just sometimes like it's chemical imbalance in your brain. So it's hard. Like even if you're doing these other things to make the anxiety better, like sometimes there's just like something off internally. Different medications work for different people. There's different side effects people have. Like I have truly had like a very good pleasant experience. I didn't really have that many side effects. It's hard because I've been on it for so long. Long that I don't know, like, what it would be without it. But you can always get on medication. You can switch. You can get off of it. Like, just because you're doing it doesn't mean you have to commit to it for the rest of your life if you don't want to. So I think just knowing that. But it did really, really help me. And it can feel really scary, and there feels like there's, like, a stage stigma around it at times. But, like, honestly, a lot of my friends, a lot of people I know are also on medication for anxiety, depression, ocd, whatever it is, and I am in favor of it, but I'm also not a doctor, so I'm not gonna really tell you what to do. But that's just what Alex did. We are gonna put the poblano peppers on a separate pan to cook these and sear them so that we can peel the skin off, chop them, put them in the soup. Hey, Misija, gonna add in some jalapeno.
- [16:02]
Asia
Those look spicy too.
- [16:04]
Alex
Wait, really? Why? How do you know?
- [16:07]
Asia
I mean, I could be wrong, but I thought the more seeds. Jalapenos.
- [16:12]
Alex
Yeah.
- [16:12]
Asia
And that top looks like it has a lot of seeds.
- [16:14]
Alex
It does. Do you like spicy?
- [16:16]
Asia
I do.
- [16:17]
Alex
I love spicy. I need to do some research on how to properly peel the skin off the poblano peppers, because every time I've made this recipe, I don't think I'm doing it correctly because it kind of comes off, like, in chunks. So I'm gonna do some quick research on how to do that. Let's add in the jalapeno. Okay, so these. I just usually let these se. And then try and, like, pull the skin off. But I feel like there could be a better way. So we're gonna ask handy dandy copilot. So I'm pulling up Microsoft copilot. There's Mikko.
- [16:59]
Asia
Hey, there, Alex.
- [17:01]
Alex
Hey, copilot. I have a question.
- [17:03]
Asia
Of course. Ask away. What's on your mind today?
- [17:06]
Alex
So I'm cooking poblano peppers on the stove right now. I'm searing them, and I want the skin to peel off properly, but every time I try to take it off just with, like, a fork, it doesn't come off all the way. It comes off stringy. So do you have a better way to get the skin off of the poblano peppers?
- [17:25]
Asia
Oh, yeah, definitely. Got a tip for you. Once you've got those peppers nice and charred, pop them into a bowl and cover them up with some, like, plastic wrap or just a lid for a few minutes, let them steam a little. That steam helps the skins loosen up, and then they'll peel off way easier. So give that a shot, and, hey, let me know how it goes.
- [17:41]
Alex
Oh, okay. Thank you, copilot.
- [17:43]
Asia
Absolutely. You got it. And hey, if you run into any other kitchen puzzles, feel free to toss them my way.
- [17:49]
Alex
Thank you.
- [17:50]
Asia
You're welcome. Always happy to help out. If anything else comes up, just give me a shout. In the meantime, enjoy your cooking and have fun experimenting.
- [17:56]
Alex
Bye. Okay, wait. That was actually crazy. So put it into a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
- [18:03]
Asia
Yeah. And. Or just a container that has a lid. I don't have that.
- [18:08]
Alex
I'm going to let those cook, and then I guess we can put them in a bowl like this.
- [18:14]
Asia
Yeah.
- [18:14]
Alex
I'm going to do some seasoning in the pot while we wait. Oh, did not mean to do that.
- [18:23]
Asia
I have another question. This is a fun one. What are you most excited for in 2026? Personal and professional.
- [18:33]
Alex
From 2026. Professional. Something really fun and exciting coming that I've been working on for since I graduated college. So three years, two and a half years. And then I'm excited for my personal growth journey that I think I've been on. I've been in a really, like, uncomfortable. I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable right now because there's been, like, change, and I know that comes with just ups and downs, and I feel like I've just been, like, mentally, like, spiraling, but I feel like it's gonna be good for me, and it's a journey I wanted to embark on. So I'm looking forward towards the end of the year feeling a lot more mentally stable and just having, like, a clear mind and a clear vision. I'm looking forward to getting there, and I'm happy that I took this uncomfortable time for myself.
- [19:33]
Asia
I don't know if you're supposed to do that.
- [19:35]
Alex
I don't think I was. Don't do that. Don't try that at home. But you know what I do know what I'm supposed to do is cover these poblano peppers. Thank you, co pilot. So we're gonna let those sit. And now while we do that, I'm gonna check what in the world I did next. We're gonna open up all these beans, beans, beans. They're good for your heart. Okay, so first, these are these little, like, diced green chili jeans. Green chili beans. Green chili peppers. Diced. Holy hell. So that. Then we have canelli beans. We're also going to toss those in. Yay.
- [20:20]
Asia
Oh, just the whole thing?
- [20:21]
Alex
Yep. Okay. Are these, like, frozen?
- [20:33]
Asia
So the next question. I feel like you kind of already covered this. Who are you when no one is watching? And how do you protect that version of yourself?
- [20:41]
Alex
Oh, that's a great question. Who am I when no one's watching? This morning I was screaming, belting in the car, singing to music. But, like, who am I when no one's watching? I don't know. That's like, a big moment of self reflection. I don't know how to answer that. I would say that, like, this version of me is, like, the version you would get. Like, me hanging out with my friends and alone. Like, who am I when I'm alone? Sometimes I'm crying, sometimes I'm happy. I don't know how to answer that.
- [21:19]
Asia
I feel like. I mean, obviously I only see you when I'm with you, but I feel like when I'm rolling and when I'm not rolling, there's nothing that changes.
- [21:29]
Alex
Really?
- [21:30]
Asia
Yeah.
- [21:31]
Alex
That makes me very happy. Yeah. I mean, sometimes I would say, like, I have a little bit of, like, a rusty and, like, bitch face. Like, I'm like, so maybe that's me. But, like, when I'm not talking, I sometimes look miserable. And I wish I had, like, a resting, happier face, but that's just not always the case. Yeah, I would say, like, this version on the vlogs, like, is just nice and probably, like, how you guys would know me the best, because I think just, like, when you're just, like, sitting down chatting with me and let's say, like, the goofy moments are definitely, like, very true to me and just not, like, so serious. That was a good, like, question of self reflection. You want some chicken? You want some chicken? Yes. Let's show everyone how good you are. Sit. Paw. Yeah, that's a good girl. Yeah, it's a good girl. Okay, now we have to add. Do you think these are ready?
- [22:30]
Asia
It's been a few minutes.
- [22:31]
Alex
Let's see. I don't know, like, what's the best? Oh, wow. This coming off pretty nicely. I'll do the next one better.
- [22:39]
Asia
Why do you need to take off the skin?
- [22:41]
Alex
Just because it's, like, burnt and it's fine, you know, you don't need to. But just kind of, like, gets clumpy in the soup.
- [22:46]
Asia
So you take off the skin. Do you dice these up too, or are they bigger chunks?
- [22:51]
Alex
Yep. So we'll dice these up and then put them in the soup.
- [22:56]
Asia
Here's a fun question.
- [22:57]
Alex
Oh, wow. This is coming off a lot nicer.
- [23:01]
Asia
That was easy.
- [23:02]
Alex
That was good.
- [23:03]
Asia
At this moment, what is your current skincare routine?
- [23:07]
Alex
In the morning I use a cleanser, azelaic acid and then a moisturizer. And then at night I use a cleansing balm. I'll double cleanse at night so I use like a oil based cleansing balm and then I use a cleanser. I use this mandelic acid serum which is insane for my skin and then I use a moisturizer. So I have learned to like keep it more simple I think, like because I've always had very, very bad acne prone skin and did accutane three times and my skin got bad after doing it even the third time. I just like learned to take it a little bit more simple with my skincare and use ingredients that like were good for my skin and were going to work because before I would just try to use like a million different stripping harsh things and I thought that that's what would clear my skin, but it did not.
- [23:57]
Asia
Are there any specific products that you like? No, no, none.
- [24:03]
Alex
None. Let's chop these poblanos. I've been using the same products for over a year now. So I've like found the skincare routine and I've just been been sticking to it which has been nice cuz usually I'm a hopper. I would hop around all the time and try a bunch of different things and don't think that was the best for my skin either. Poblano peppers are going in and then we can really start to have fun here. Look at this. It's looking really good. Now that we have all these, this is like the base. I'm going to add in some bone broth. I mean the amount of bone broth you use I guess is like how much soup you want to make. I still feel like we can get more chicken out of here. Oh, whoops. Whoopsie daisies. Right? Did you. Here you go. Oops, sorry. We're gonna chop up some cilantro now, maybe get a little bit more chicken going and we'll raise the heat a little. We don't need anything to burn, but we definitely want it to cook. I'm gonna do like half of this as well. You know what, we're gonna add some spices while we're over here. Oh, it's gonna be so good.
- [25:22]
Asia
Who's the best cook in your family?
- [25:25]
Alex
Best cook in the family is. I don't know, they all have like their different like my mom, my dad and my stepmom. Ashley are all, all amazing cooks. And I feel like that's like a very big blessing to grow up with like a family that can cook well, but they all have different things they make that are better. Like, my mom makes linguine clams and the best Caesar salad ever. It's like I, I can't have any other linguini clams in the entire world because it's always a disappointment compared to, compared to my mom's. And like, that would be. My death row meal is my mom's linguinian clams. My dad is really good at, like, steak. He makes the best steak I've ever had. Like, I prefer his steak over going out to any restaurant then. Ashley is really good at lasagna. Like her lasagna and her meatballs. I never liked meatballs. I can't even describe, like, her lasagna and meatballs are so good. I remember when my dad and Ashley like first started dating, she made us meatballs or something to take home. Maybe it was lasagna. I don't know. And we like brought it home and my mom was like, like, whatever. And we were like, just try it. It's really good. And she was like, pissed. She was like, she makes really good lasagna. So yeah, they all have like their different niches of what they're really, really good at. So we're going to let that keep cooking. We're going to, to pull up some more chicken. Oh, we're also going to put lime in there too. Can't forget that. This is like the most important part. The lime, the hint of lime, it just really does something.
- [26:59]
Asia
Do you just squeeze it in or like, do you put the whole.
- [27:02]
Alex
I squeeze it in. I don't even know if I have one of those. I love the like, squeezers that tool. Cuz sometimes I feel like you can't really get everything we're going to try. Okay, so we're going to do four limes. Oh, God. Let me see if I have that tool. I don't. I definitely don't because I don't have anything here. So I don't know why I think I have that. I'm gonna get a fork.
- [27:25]
Asia
I don't know if I've ever seen someone do it that way.
- [27:27]
Alex
Really?
- [27:28]
Asia
Yeah.
- [27:28]
Alex
I feel like you just gotta get in there and twist it. Puncture and twist. These limes are like a little, A little hard.
- [27:38]
Asia
Okay, one down.

This is a workout. Let's do a taste test. Mmm. Wow. It's really good. But it definitely needs more lime. You can't taste the lime at all. So we gotta keep going. This is the worst part. Oh, that was bound up at some point. Asia, are you watching mama struggle? Last one. It better taste like lime after this.
- [28:15]
Asia
You okay?
- [28:17]
Alex
Yeah. I saw a hair on me and I was gonna get it off. Let's see. Perfect. That was delicious. And we're almost done.
- [28:29]
Asia
It's perfect because I have one more question from the wwad. Are you moving to la? Do you miss Miami? What's your home base? I'm trying to find a new city for myself.
- [28:41]
Alex
Well, I do actually love it in la. I feel like I've only really been here, like, in between traveling much. And I feel like it does get a really bad rep here of everyone's, like, it's an evil city. You're gonna, like, lose your mind there or something. And people think that's why I'm losing my mind, but I'm just losing my mind. Not because of la. I actually feel, like, very at peace when I'm here. Like, the weather's so beautiful. It's so nice. I feel like everything's, like, primarily healthy here. So I have loved it here. But with that being said, I did also just get a place in Miami because I wanted to get a house for Asia. Me and Asia are gonna go there maybe by April. April, hopefully. I don't know. I guess, like, Miami versus here, if you're looking for a place for yourself, they just, like, offer different things. I mean, Miami is definitely a little more fun. Like, if you want to go out, Miami is a little bit better than here. And you don't have to stop having drinks at one. Like, in Miami. That's just when you're going out. I would say there's always something going on in Miami. Like, it always feels very, very busy. I think it can feel a little bit more like, chill here. So I guess it just depends what you want.
- [29:57]
Asia
How are you going to split up the time?
- [29:59]
Alex
I don't know. I have not made up my mind on anything yet. So I'm not really sure. And I'm not really sure where I call home. And I'm not really sure. Monster Energy. Everybody knows White Monster, Zero Ultra, that's the OG it kicked off this whole zero sugar energy drink thing. But Ultra is a whole lineup now. You've got Strawberry Dreams, Blue Hawaiian Sunrise, and Vice Guava. And they all bring the Monster Energy punch. So if you've been living in the White can branch out. Ultra's got a flavor for every vibe and every single One is zero sugar. Tap the banner to learn more. I don't know what's going on. Stop it. Like, why does this keep happening? I always make soup. Stop.

Asia
It smells really good.
- [30:57]
Alex
It smells delicious. So now what we're gonna do, we're gonna take some of the broth with, like, you want to get a good amount of, like, the beans in there so that it'll get a little bit chunkier. Blend. Woo. Okay. And then we're gonna add our chicken in. Oh, it's gonna be so good. Okay, so as we're doing this, we're gonna add some seasoning, we're gonna taste test it, see what else we need to add, and then I think we're gonna be good. Oh, it's delicious. It's spectacular. Okay, so now I'm gonna put it on low heat and let that just, like, sit for a second. Like, let all the ingredients mix together. And while we do that, we're gonna clean a little bit because got a little crazy in here. Are you gonna have some Tyler?
- [32:05]
Asia
100%. Smells too good, right? Do you have anything fun coming up this month?
- [32:11]
Alex
This is going to be, like, a very good month, I hope. Lots of exciting stuff coming up. I'm nervous, but I'm excited. And then you have Coachella, and then we have Coachella. Oh, hell, I'm excited for that. I don't think I have a bad big amount for this.
- [32:30]
Asia
For Coachella. Do you have any, like, fun fashion things, things you're gonna do this year?
- [32:33]
Alex
I actually just made a mood board of the outfits I want to do. I mean, am I killing the cilantro if I do this?
- [32:40]
Asia
I don't think so.
- [32:42]
Alex
I have a mood board and I have an idea. I have a vision, and we'll see what we can make come to life and what we can find.
- [32:51]
Asia
When going to Coachella with your friends and like, picking out your outfits, do you guys ever, like, make sure you're the same vibe or anything like that, or. No, it's completely like.
- [33:00]
Alex
No, because I feel like we all kind of, like, have different vibes and different styles, so. Not really, but, like, usually before we'll, like, send our outfits, but so just to, like, see what each other's wearing. Not really. To, like, match to each other's vibes.
- [33:15]
Asia
If you were to describe that mood board you made, do you have any words that you would describe it by?
- [33:20]
Alex
Textures, grunge, fringe? I don't know. Just, like, fun. Honestly, I hate when people, like, everyone's like, let's just wear, like, A tank top and jeans or, like, whatever. That's what, like, the cool people are doing. Because it's, like, not cool to try, but I'm like, I feel like it is cool to try because it's Coachella. Like, why would we wear just something? Like, that's the point. That's not the point, but, like, that's what's fun. It's like, you get to experience, experiment, and, like, do something and wear stuff you wouldn't normally wear. But I feel like the chill girl people always hate on the people who, like, dressed up or they're like, they're wearing, like, a costume, and I'm like, well, I want to wear a costume. It's all starting to come together. Almost there. Gonna clean this. Asia, are you so excited? Are you so excited? Yeah, it looks real good.
- [34:16]
Asia
Is that a bedazzled sip marks?
- [34:18]
Alex
Uh huh. Isn't it cute? I want to take a photo of this. Feeling very proud.
- [34:31]
Asia
I feel like this. If you filled this whole pot up, it'd feel a large party or feed a large party.
- [34:37]
Alex
Oh, yeah. You, like, can't really tell because the pot's so big, like, how much is really in there, but I guess we'll see. It's gonna be so good. Here she is in all her glory. It's a little hot. It's a little hot. Official taste test. I wonder if it's, like, still too hot.
- [35:03]
Asia
Still too hot.
- [35:04]
Alex
The flavors are. It is a little hot, but I don't really have much paste. He's just like, can I get some of that? No, mamas. You could get the chicken, though. So.
- [35:15]
Asia
So you're the kind of person that will just eat hot food and burn the top of your mouth.
- [35:19]
Alex
I don't mean to, but, like, once the food's in front of me, I can't wait. Wow.
- [35:24]
Asia
Is it spicy at all?
- [35:25]
Alex
Yeah, but not, like spicy. It's gonna. You're gonna cry. But it definitely has a K. It's really good. This is one of the best ones I've made. I need you to try it and tell me how. How it is.
- [35:40]
Asia
All right, I'll do it. Oh, yeah.
- [35:43]
Alex
This is

Asia
