Hi, guys. Welcome back to Get Real with Mi. It is truly so fun for me to get to do this and feel like we are all just gabbing, hanging out, getting ready together. So grab maybe a drink, your makeup, and let's get ready. I am very excited for our guest today. She's one of my favorites, and she's the it girl. She's a podcast host. She's the queen of the summer, and you might know her from her vloggy. Vlogs. Come in, Get real with me. Please welcome stas.
B
Yay.
A
Welcome. Thank you. Do you like the dream House?
B
This is so cute.
A
And okay, so this is a new segment. I've never seen this before, and I've never done this before, but we're gonna start with our skincare. Okay. Welcome. Thank you. Stas. Karanikulao.
B
No, you can do better.
A
Karanikulao.
B
Good job.
A
Show me your skincare routine. What do you use? So we all want to. This is like, another thing with Stas is like, she's got all the products. She's got all the recommendations. She's got everything figured out in life. She's like, redoing my whole life right now. Actually, she's my life manager at the moment.
B
You know, it's just, like, years of practice. Well, I start with my real active's makeup melting balm. Makeup melting balm.
A
Yeah. That's good.
B
Okay.
A
But she does really use it.
B
I do. This is everything that I actually use in my daily skincare, and I just start melting.
A
I'm so happy you love this. This is really the best. For melting your makeup off.
B
Well, I didn't use a melter because I feel like. And tell me if this is something that you guys did.
A
You got blind. No.
B
Yes. I mean, I would get blind, and I just felt like I was moving the makeup all over my face, and when I use this one, I feel like it's, like, cleaning it off, if that makes sense.
A
Yes. I've used some makeup melting balms before that. It feels like more like a thick vaseline on your face, and then I can't see.
B
It's just not nice. This one melts.
A
It really does. Does a great job. Gets everything out, and even if you don't have makeup on, just like, removing sunscreen oils from the day. Okay, so this is actually a fake sink. So I came in here and I was like, wow. Like, we got plumbing. It's fake. So what I think we should do.
B
So we're gonna share this water. Are we sharing this water?
A
Of course. This Is like how we've been staying together for the past two months. Okay.
B
Or maybe.
A
Wait, wait, wait. I think actually what this was meant was that we were gonna, like, wet these towels, and then you said, yeah,
B
I mean, that seems like a lot a way better idea. B.
A
Have you always been very into skincare or self care? Cause you just have really, an answer for everything. I can't even get through a complaint without her having an answer at the end.
B
Stop. I feel like I actually haven't. I feel like I was more into makeup than skincare for a majority of my life. I feel like. I don't know how to say this without it coming across really annoying, but I have the type of skin where I kind of can use anything and I don't notice.
A
Yeah, that is really annoying.
B
How do I say that without sounding annoying?
A
Okay, so you're better than all of us. What next?
B
I'm gonna use yours, obviously. I used it today in shower.
A
That's so sweet. So you can use, like, your skin's not.
B
Yeah.
A
I never dealt with, like, acne.
B
No. I have, like, sensitive skin. We talk about this. I have dermatitis that's kind of recent, so I don't like to use things that have much fragrance and things like that. Just anything super gentle. But I've never really had issues besides recently with the dermatitis, which is pretty annoying.
A
What do you do to, like, control that?
B
My dermatologist put me on a prescription sulfur face wash and then this cream. But it, like, makes my face feel really hot, so I don't use it.
A
I am having, like, a little bit of a perioral dermatitis outbreak right now, and I haven't had that in, like, two years, so that's great.
B
What are you doing?
A
I'm taking some doxycycline. Okay.
B
He just gave that to me. I'm gonna go pick it up after.
A
Okay. Twin. Obviously, we had to switch our medications
B
to be the same as well have to be on the same meds.
A
Also, I've been using this secret sauce that I gave Stoss a sample of, and she posted about it, which is the nicest thing ever. And then also kind of gave me a heart attack because I haven't even launched. Teased this yet.
B
I know. Oopsies.
A
So our secret sauce.
B
Secret sauce.
A
And you really start to see the benefits of this, like, four weeks, but really like eight weeks. So like, the longer you use it and stay consistent.
B
Really? Or my second week, Am I supposed to use that morning and tonight or just.
A
Just morning.
B
Okay. That's what I've been doing. And then I've been doing this one at night.
A
Perfect. Yeah. I also use this, which we found out we had the same as well, this little Epicutis lipid serum. Honestly, I just kind of use it whenever.
B
Okay.
A
I feel like I need a little extra hydration.
B
Let's put this on.
A
Oh, you rub it.
B
Oh, yeah. Am I not supposed to?
A
I don't know. I always go like that.
B
Shit.
A
Welcome to cocktail hour. Okay, so first, before we get started, we're gonna make a Stassi special.
B
Obviously, this has been our drink of
A
the summer, and I ever since been introduced to a Stassi special. Never wanna go back. Okay, so tell us how you make it.
B
First, I muddled cucumbers in the shaker so that we didn't have to do that. All right, now. And now I'm gonna fill it with a little bit of ice.
A
These are great because they don't actually taste like alcohol and they're refreshing so good.
B
We're gonna put three shots of vodka. Cause it's a martini.
A
Oh, is it really?
B
Well, I'm gonna do a little splash of soda. Since it's noon.
A
We are screwed. We already are going out.
B
Yeah, we have to plans tonight.
A
I was like, we plan planned last night for a movie night tonight. We were together for five minutes and now we're going to a party and have to get gowns for it tonight. Lemon juice?
B
Just a little bit. That should be fine. I'm spilling a little. Okay. Do you want to shake it? No.
A
No.
B
Okay, then you shake.
A
Saucy special.
B
Saucy special.
A
Saucy. Saucy.
B
I hope it's good.
A
This feels like a lot of.
B
What? Well, I'm gonna put a splash of soda, babe. And then we're gonna pour it. It's a good color.
A
It smells good too. It smells like spa.
B
See, there's a little more in there.
A
Okay, perfect. Then we lemon.
B
A little lemon garnish. And we're gonna do a little splash of soda just to, like, dilute it a bit.
A
Perfect. Cheers. Juice. Okay. Can we tell people how we've met and become friends? Because I think that all of a sudden people think I've abducted you.
B
Well, we've known each other for a while.
A
Probably, like, don't remember the first time we met, but just, like, events. I've always seen you out.
B
Yeah, we never really had. Oh, are you, like, getting into it?
A
Oh, yeah. We're gonna start our makeup.
B
Starting makeup.
A
I do, like, a little light summer glam.
B
Light summer glam.
A
I think so.
B
We do our makeup in such different orders. It's so.
A
She starts with eyes, I start with eyebrows. Okay.
B
But what we were saying, we bonded the most at the Aloe Monaco trip.
A
Well, yeah, but before that, I feel like we had gone out sometimes together.
B
Yeah, but I didn't think you liked me.
A
Really? I didn't think you liked me, and I didn't. I knew you were fun, but I just didn't know you were.
B
I was like, damn, I thought you were so fun. And then I was like, damn, does she not like me?
A
Really?
B
And then we really bonded.
A
What about that night? We went out together after Chateau, and we went to the thing together. We were in the car. You didn't think we were.
B
Oh, no. That was the night. That was the first night.
A
That you thought I didn't like you?
B
No, that I thought you liked me.
A
Oh, okay.
B
I was like, oh, we just had such a fun night.
A
But anywho, we get put together on this alo Monaco trip forever. Me, you, Jake, and Stella, we had
B
the little group chat, and we were like, we're not gonna bring anyone with us. We're just gonna go us so that we could actually bond.
A
Which was fun because, like, it was a different. Like, we weren't with our normal friend groups, and I felt like it put
B
us out of our comfort zone to where we kind of needed to lean on each other, which made us open up to each other quicker, I guess. And then we just were inseparable.
A
The trip was just so fun. I feel like Jake was the middle man. Cause I feel like he was maybe the closest with everyone. Yeah. Going on this trip, I was coming out of a funk that I was in for three months and was just not happy. And I was like, you know what? We're gonna go on this trip and have fun. And even actually, right before the trip, I was like, I don't even know, like, why I said yes to this. So we went on this trip, and after everyone was going to leave, and we were like, maybe we should stay. It was her birthday. And we just got, like, super close super quick. And we're having so much fun.
B
I just think, you know, like, there's times in your life where you just meet people and you're like, I'm gonna have this person in my life forever. And you were one of those people.
A
Really?
B
Yes.
A
That's so sweet.
B
So you don't think that.
A
Well, me too. But I just, like. That was, like, so sweet of you to say. Well, it's true. I didn't know that you were so, like. And don't take this in the wrong place. So, like, nice and caring and such, like, a good.
B
Well, because everyone thinks I'm a bitch.
A
Well, everyone thinks I'm a bitch too, so. But I didn't really necessarily think you were a bitch. I just didn't know how, like, you are really like, a generous, sweet, kind, caring person.
B
Starts crying.
A
We, like, developed our conquering skills on this trip.
B
When it became just the two of us, nothing could stand in our way.
A
We had a witchy power that we discovered.
B
It was something crazy.
A
We could speak things into existence. What are you doing with your makeup?
B
I am. You're like, going so fast.
A
Oh, sorry.
B
No, it's okay. I just did my brows. I'm about to put a little eyeshadow on. I'm just gonna do a chill crease.
A
Do you prefer to get your makeup done or do it yourself?
B
If I have to choose getting my hair or makeup done, I like to get my hair done. Cause I feel like I can do my makeup better.
A
I would agree with that.
B
In particular with how I like my makeup.
A
When you're getting your makeup done, what do I say? What do you say? What do you show? What pictures do you show? Is it yourself?
B
Usually it depends. Like, if I'm doing a look for something specific, then I'll find an inspo of an eye or hair or anything that I think will go with my outfit. But if it's not, I normally just say, like a bronzy brown eye with like a baby wing. And I like for my skin to look like skin. I don't like when it's too heavy and it looks super cakey.
A
How do you go about finding new people to do hair and makeup for? I feel like when I'm showing references or you see someone's Instagram or their work, I think it's so hard to know how that is. Do you go out and venture to new people often or you have your people and you don't really.
B
I have my people and I don't really stray from that. I have people that I wanna try. I love to look at people's red carpet photos because I feel like when people just post.
A
Cause they're not very forgiving photos.
B
Well, yeah. And it's also. If you're posting just a photo from your camera, how do you know that they didn't edit that before they posted it?
A
Which a lot of them do.
B
Yeah, like so many times. Please don't edit my face.
A
I've had glam people post me, and I'm like, that's not me. That's not me. You really FaceApped me there, and I'm
B
like, FaceApp level five.
A
Do you think I'm ugly?
B
Do you think I need the face app? So, yeah, I think it's hard. That's why hair is easier to me. I feel like if I'm trying someone new for hair, I just do a blowout, and I feel like it's really hard to fuck up a blowout.
A
So what are we gonna do about this going out tonight?
B
Well, I've had, like, two sips of my martini, and I feel tipsy.
A
I know. We are having martinis for breakfast.
B
We need to gather ourselves.
A
I went to see my birth chart reader this morning.
B
Oh, you have to tell me what she said. Because we had to get off the phone earlier because we couldn't stop talking about things we wanted to talk about today. So I need to know what she said.
A
They said she just like. And I went back from a few months ago. So this Bertrat Ridges, she's not like a psychic, but she. They look at where the stars are aligned on certain days and, like, when things are happening or certain eclipses in your life or what planet is in what thing, that's gonna activate and basically activate. Do I sound crazy?
B
So what's activating for you?
A
I'll give you an example. I saw her in April was the last time she gave me a date in June, and she was like, this day is gonna be something of this change, whatever. And I went back to my camera roll this day and looked at what that date was and was like, whoa.
B
For the actual dates.
A
And basically. But she was saying next week is, like, I need to do this ritual of letting things go. And basically, by the time that we get to Ibiza, things are looking up.
B
Well, that's perfect for us. So perfect timing.
A
Yes, things are looking up.
B
I need to see her, but I
A
really think you should go to her. She's the best. She told me that my love life right now is manic. That's what she said. She said, I don't mean this to sound bad, but mania. And she said, like. She said I'm not stable enough for anything right now. And, like, I'm not gonna be stable enough to, like, see anything in anyone else so that nothing's gonna happen for me right now.
B
So we're on a.
A
Until she gave me a date where, like, things could start looking different.
B
So we're on a cute summer of just us.
A
Right. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm sick and tired of people being
B
like, I love being with my girls. Like, I've always just enjoyed going out with my friends and just being with my friends.
A
My friends always say, this is like, the nights we all go out together. None of us end up talking to guys. Cause we're having too much fun with each other. I feel like we've been doing a good job of, like, making friends with everyone this summer. Like, you're so.
B
I mean, I have so many guy friends.
A
Right.
B
I'm just having too much fun with my girls. And I don't have to, like, tell anyone what I'm doing.
A
I feel really. We've gotten really close really fast. Where, you know when you're, like, at the point with a friend where you can, like, just. We said this the other night, and I feel like sometimes, like, people don't, like, understand this online. And we're like, sometimes, like, we need to break apart for a second.
B
We sat there, and I can't even remember what she said or what I said to her. And I think it was. I said something to you, and you were like, oh, so we got that close.
A
When you don't have to, like, where.
B
You don't have to, like, you know,
A
I don't know how to explain. Right. You don't have to put on a facade.
B
But I think what's special when you, like, get to a place with someone where.
A
I feel like people online, like, don't understand it sometimes, like, well, that's joking around with a friend.
B
This is how we are, like, as friends, Like, I don't know, we're just, like, brutally honest, and we're comfortable with each other because we've been. We're just, like, at that place in our relationship where it's like, you don't feel like you have to. I don't know. Does that make sense?
A
It makes sense to me, but I feel like it's hard to put into words a little bit, but in my head, it's making sense. But when you're like, I don't know, almost how you are with a sister sometimes.
B
Yeah, exactly. Exactly that.
A
I also think, like, if you're real friends with someone, you don't have to be, like, you're allowed to joke around and have fun.
B
Yeah.
A
Any makeup hacks that have gone on that I've missed that I forgot to ask you about?
B
I feel like it's just standard. I don't do anything crazy.
A
You don't have, like, A certain way you apply anything that is.
B
Well, that's what I mean. We apply things so differently. Like, I do.
A
Am I hammered? I just was.
B
I think it's a mix of the heat stroke.
A
I'm dying in here.
B
And the agar.
A
Where'd you do my bronzer?
B
It's right there.
A
Guys, something happened to me in here. I'm not doing okay because we're wet.
B
Do you put eyeshadow under your eye ever?
A
No, because I feel like I have smaller eyes. So I like to do anything that's up and out. I always get insecure that my eyes are close together and I wanna burn cheek.
B
Really? I feel like you have big eyes.
A
Really?
B
Yeah. You have pretty.
A
No, thank you. That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said.
B
Yeah.
A
Do you ever let comments while. That just sparked me, but do you ever let comments and stuff about people, I don't know, putting yourself out online? People always have something to say. And I feel like personally I've been letting that get to me with my appearance and things going on and I am overthinking everything, but I think I really need to let that go.
B
Yeah, I think that I used to read comments and let it affect me and I've kind of gotten to the place where I'm so comfortable and so happy with my relationships and the people that I have surrounding me and, like my friendships and my family and I just. These people who are seeing one second of my life online, like, I just don't really care what they have to say. If that makes sense. Like, if they're gonna talk negative about me and they don't actually know who I am as human, then it doesn't affect me. I don't let it affect me. Well, that's good, but you just have to stop looking.
A
I know.
B
Like, I don't look anymore.
A
I know. I just like to take a gander. But I'm gonna stop.
B
No more gandering unless you know that it's gonna be nice.
A
I'm excited for tonight because I would like to, like, go to.
B
We haven't, like, really gone out in LA besides that one night together and
A
I don't know anything. All you. Like when you guys talk about LA and these spots, like, I'm not really knowing the cool things. So I'm excited for tonight and what's to come.
B
And we're going to our friend's birthday dinner.
A
Apparently we need gowns for this party that we're going to. So we have to go shopping now after this.
B
I think we literally have to figure out what to wear. Then we have Ibiza. We leave for.
A
Well, it seems like there's not that many, like, fun nights here, but.
B
Well, there's not. It's, like, very situational, so tonight is, like, situational. So tonight will be situationally fun. Did you tell them how you've been liking your lash lift?
A
I've been loving my lash lift because, well, I like it when I don't have to do mascara with mascara. I feel like you should try this. My eyes looked better prior.
B
This is like a. I don't know how to explain it. When I'm doing a no makeup. Makeup look. It's like a jelly almost. You'll see. It's like a serum Y mascara.
A
But I'm excited for our Ibiza trip because I've only been to Ibiza once, and I did not like it because I went with my friends in college and we just like. I love my friends in college and we have the best time together. But we, like, stayed in the house with, like, 20 girls, and we were, like, an hour away. We're just, like, not good at planning things. And, like, we did. We went out and we had fun, but I didn't experience anything that was, like, out. Like, we could have had that fun anywhere, I think. Although there was one really fun club that we went to that, like, have you been there? There was, like, a rave in the bathroom. Like, the bathroom, like, had a DJ in it. And everyone was like. Like, people were going to the bathroom, but there was also people partying. Like, imagine if there's a bar in the bathroom and, like, a stall right here. Like, we're partying here. This is the bar. In the bar.
B
And then.
A
So it was like you were just.
B
And then outside of the bathroom, there's, like, another part of the club.
A
Yes. So that I really. I enjoyed the bathroom rave. And it was. I want to go back there.
B
That was your favorite part, was the bathroom rave.
A
It's like I'm being in the party.
B
Well, I'm excited to take you to Formentera.
A
Formentera. What is it? A little island.
B
It's like, just the most beautiful part. Like, the most beautiful water ever. And have, like, a nice boat day. The thing about me and why I have a thing with Ibiza is I feel like Ibiza is the type of place where everyone likes to go out at night. And my favorite thing to do on vacation is to day drink. I like to be by the sea. I like to have cocktails, jump, be on a boat.
A
I want to be there for like two weeks. Because then we can go. We could do that. And then the other day, we could be like, hiking and whatever. Hiking.
B
I don't want to go.
A
There's beautiful hiking there.
B
Really?
A
I've heard we're not going to hike. We're not going to be hiking. Like, what the fuck? Hiking to the next club. But this is really like my last hiking to the next stop. We had our fun in Monaco. Pause work. Then we had our fun in, well, it's Tanzania. Then two weeks on, two weeks off, whatever. Now off. Now I'm gonna be here. We have I blocked off two weeks.
B
Cause we're not gonna. We're not gonna leave after Ibiza.
A
And I don't think we're gonna leave. I think that, like, we're gonna find new friends and go on another trip.
B
We're gonna go to Greece and my dad's there. We're gonna have some parent fun with our new friends that we're gonna meet.
A
I'm so excited. I'm gonna take some of this too. I think it's gonna be fun. Everyone that we know, I think is gonna be there at the same time.
B
We know probably like 30 people going at the same time as us, which is gonna be a little scary. But it's gonna be so fun.
A
And I'm ready to just have a good time. And we don't get hungover when we're together. When we're not together, I get, like the worst hangovers.
B
Do you get scaries?
A
Yeah. Wait, where was I just. Oh, my gosh. I just went out in New York this past weekend, and I woke up with the worst scaries. I woke up crying. I had to cancel everything the next day cause I couldn't speak to anyone. So it's only. It's like a special thing that we're witches when we're together. So I'm excited to witch again.
B
It's. Cause we're. Do you remember? Perfect positive. Perfect positive. Perfect positive princesses. Perfect. Are you. You're okay?
A
Yeah.
B
Perfect positive.
A
It's a tongue twister. Okay.
B
Perfect, perfect, positive, positive princesses.
A
So this is our final makeup look. Oh, I didn't see you there. I wish I could stay in this pink dream house all day long. And honestly, it's just such a pinch me moment to be able to create a show like this and a set that I love. And it just takes me back to when I was in college making my Get Ready With Me video, sitting at my vanity in my dorm room with Such a chaotic schedule in college, I was constantly packing last minute. I was doing my makeup last minute. And then I would realize that I was running out of products or something when I really needed it the most. But then I started to use Amazon to order beauty products. Makeup, brushes, vanity organizing systems. And it was the quickest way to get the things I needed in a short amount of time without overspending. It also made my get ready with me so much easier. Shop off to college at Amazon and save on college. Save the everyday. Okay, now back to the episode. Okay, next we are gonna play a little game answering our cake box. We're gonna answer the cake box. I can't do these other.
B
Well, I can't do it either. Cake box questions.
A
We're gonna play some cakes. It's time for our cake box questions.
B
Here we go.
A
Woo. Okay, so basically the name of the game is. We're gonna ask each other the questions and drink or answer.
B
Are you going first or am I going first?
A
I'll ask you first.
B
Okay.
A
Since you're the guest of honor today, what do you think your own biggest red flag is? Oh, answer or drink.
B
What?
A
If you answer for me, that seems a little messed up.
B
I could say yours.
A
Are you gonna call me messy?
B
Yeah.
A
Okay, well, that wasn't the game. The name of the game was.
B
Well, maybe I'm a control freak. I have, like, a really big problem letting go of control.
A
Okay.
B
I think that's my biggest red flag. Yeah. Cause I think it gets me in, like, sticky situations.
A
Like what?
B
Like, I just have an idea of how I want things to go.
A
Oh, I see.
B
And in, like, relationships or in life, and if it doesn't go that way and I like, it's like a weird control thing. I feel like everything's gone to shit and I have to have, like, an anxiety attack because it's not how I envisioned it in my brain.
A
Well, hopeful. A good counterbalance to that. And you're really helping me with this.
B
Thank you. Okay. Hmm. I wanna stump you. Oh, this is gonna stump you. Which one of your exes would you date again?
A
That question was supposed to be for you. Oh, well, we all know the answer to that. Please.
B
I don't know how that works.
A
There's not a lot of. Like, there really couldn't be many options.
B
So say it or drink.
A
I don't wanna say it out loud. That's so embarrassing. If I had to pick, it would have to be.
B
Okay, that's good.
A
Seriously, that was effed up. We made that question for you. Okay, well, now I hope this is how that works. You were trying to get me and
B
you ended up getting yourself something about
A
yourself you wished more people paid attention to.
B
Aw, that's cute.
A
Mm. Maybe like your kindness, that was really sweet.
B
My kindness?
A
Do you show your kindness?
B
I think I do, right?
A
Yeah. But I guess a lot of it's stuff like people you don't see. Like, you don't see that. You wouldn't see that online. You know, like a friend's like, gonna just be like a stand up friend of like, you're going home. I'm going home too. They're not gonna leave you. They're not gonna ditch you. Like, they're gonna, like, look up. Like that's stuff that it's not like you're filming and seeing.
B
I think that's true. What is one fashion trend that needs to stay in the past?
A
Stay in the past? Stay in the past. Like, something that would be old, that, like, I don't think should resurface. Yeah, my off white belt, please.
B
What is that?
A
Oh, you don't know? No, I used to have this off white belt. No, actually two. And it was like the one designer thing I had going into college. And so when I went to and we would go out and we would see these people at clubs or I wanted to look like I had money and whatever. I actually would fucking choke myself with this all wearing belt. I put it on everything. I had a purple dress, the yellow off white belt was going on it. If I could put on the outfits tied around my back, I was like, yep, I have money. I tied in. I need to see everything.
B
Can we just put a bunch of photos of the off white belt?
A
What's the craziest thing you've done for a beauty treatment this year?
B
Craziest thing I've done for a beauty treatment this year. I don't know. Like laughing gas. Wait, is that crazy?
A
It's not like what you've done to get the treatment.
B
Oh.
A
Who would you love to swap closets with right now?
B
I feel like my answer is always gonna be Kylie.
A
Yeah.
B
She has the best closet ever.
A
I would take it.
B
Like, the best closet. It's always gonna be her. Who would you switch?
A
I mean, if I could have Kylie's closet, I would take it. So.
B
So, yeah. What is the meanest thing you've read about yourself that kind of stuck with you?
A
Why am I getting all the zingers? I feel like it's always hard to, like, read stuff about, like, your character. I think that stuff Sticks with me. Like, those are things where it's like, you know, like, things like appearance or, like, whatever. Like, that's, like, superficial stuff that doesn't matter. But I think, like, when it comes to, like, your character is like, when
B
it's like, okay, yeah, but remember, these people are seeing, like, 10 seconds of your life. So, like, if anyone's gonna judge you on your character not knowing who you are as a human, that's someone that you don't wanna be surrounding yourself with anyways.
A
Right.
B
Because you're beautiful inside and out. Who were the last three people you looked up on Instagram?
A
Okay, let's see. And then let's determine if I. These questions are literally supposed to be for you. Okay. So I'm gonna have to take the.
B
Okay, here we go. Our first shot. Oh, I thought you were gonna take the whole thing. I got really scared.
A
Was gonna. But then I thought, I'm gonna go to the hospital. Oh, my God. Who's the most famous person who slid into your DMs? Thank God. Finally.
B
Cheers.
A
Cheers. Can I know, though?
B
Yeah. I almost did all of it. That was a fun one. I can, like, feel that shot working through my intestines.
A
I know it's gonna, like, help my constipation.
B
Keep that in.
A
Got that, got that. Tell us about the craziest night out you've had recently.
B
Well, Gabriette's wedding. Oh, for sure.
A
That was so fun.
B
It was so much fun. It was beautiful. We were, like, crying the whole time. And I saw the sun. And seeing the sun in LA is, like, different from seeing the sun in Europe.
A
In Europe, it's easy to stay up until the sun comes out because it's the time difference. It's like, yeah, midnight.
B
Go to dinner at. And you also go to dinner at 11pm yeah, you go to dinner at 11 o'. Clock. I started the party at 5pm and ended at 5am That's. But it was so much fun.
A
It was beautiful. I want to hear about it.
B
Yeah. Do you know how you want your wedding?
A
I think I would like. I want a smaller wedding.
B
Yeah.
A
Like I always say, I'm like. I don't want anyone to be there. Even, like, a plus one. No plus ones that I have to introduce myself to for the first time because I want it to be very, like, intimate and special. Special. But then I want to rage.
B
Rage. People can bring their plus ones to the after party.
A
When do you think we'll get married?
B
Let's ask each other this question. In one year from now. Okay, I saw this TikTok where you have to go on nine dates. Yeah.
A
What were you saying?
B
So this girl, she was like, her and her best friend did it and they're both engaged. Now. You have to go on nine dates with nine different kinds of people. So people who do different things, people who, like, just. They're all very different from each other. And she was like. By the fifth date, I knew that I was gonna marry that guy on the fifth date, but I told myself I needed to. To finish out the nine dates so that she finished. Like, she went on this one date and she was like, damn, this is my personal date.
A
So your husband just happens to be in these nine people, like, somehow, some way, and they have to be close together, these dates. Cause, like, finding nine people seems pretty awkward.
B
I haven't been on a date ever, so I don't know where I'm gonna find nine different people to take me out. But I think we should try it.
A
Okay, well, perfect.
B
And on that note, I got asked
A
on a date, so I'm gonna go.
B
Yes. And you should go. What's a reality show you think you could win?
A
Not fucking Dancing with the Stars, I guess. Traitors. We wanna go on Traitors. Please cast us together. We talked about this. Imagine us on Traitors.
B
Together on Traitors.
A
Wow.
B
Like, we need to go on Traitors. We wanna be faithfuls. We wanna be faithfuls.
A
But imagine us on there. Actually, we would conquer the whole castle.
B
So let's play mafia tonight, and I'm gonna see how you play.
A
Okay, so it's like you're gonna determine if you wanna be my friend on Traders or not. It's kind of like exactly where's. What's happening?
B
If you're gonna get me out because you're not good at playing, then we can.
A
If we go down, then we can.
B
We go down together.
A
Would you rather have your bank account drained or all of your texts from this summer released?
B

A
Should we just read them for everyone?
B
Like, read our texts?
A
Okay. Anywho. On that note.
B
Anywho. Do you say any who a lot in the show? I noticed.
A
I say a lot in life, Alex.
B
Anywho. So much. I've never heard anyone say Anywho. As much as she says, anywho.
A
What's the best transition word?
B
It is anywho. But I think mine's what's mine.
A
I don't know. You just don't. Shut the fuck up.
B
Okay, so Tequila is now speaking for her. Okay, this is when we're like, oh, we're that close.
