Let's get into the vlog. We're off to the Sports Illustrated beach party. I'm here for some sit marks.

[Sally]

Today.

[Alex]

And then we get to go into the ac.

[Braxton]

One more.

[Sally]

Yeah. Make sure y' all go get her drinks.

[Braxton]

They're very nice.

[Alex]

Y' all go shop it up real quick.

[Braxton]

Oh, my God.

[Sally]

Daddy long legs.

[Alex]

Wait, let me look. Why is the lighting so bad? Wait, it's my phone.

[Braxton]

Let me try.

[Alex]

All right, we're going into our room. That as I swim. Goddess. Let's see. Oh. Oh, my God. This is massive. This is nice.

[Braxton]

Okay, this.

[Alex]

Mushroom, mushroom, mushroom, mushroom. Who's smushing tomorrow night? Me, Sally, Bony, and who?

[Braxton]

No, this was in the last vlog in Alex's Coachella vlog. I'm in it and I'm saying I'm going to bone. I'm like, my mom watches this.

[Alex]

Someone's boning this week.

[Braxton]

I've been waiting. I've been waiting for my chance. And I'm serious. I think that is my soulmate.

[Alex]

Let's make a coffee and sit on the porch. Remember when I broke a $5,000 toilet last summer? We're not doing that again.

[Braxton]

I do remember that, but I want one so bad.

[Alex]

After the smoosh room.

[Braxton]

You having the best hair ever. It's a baby.

[Alex]

Now it's time for a show. I like it a lot better like that. I mean, I like it. I wore a teal, like, triangle bikin. I had a lot of her.

[Sally]

Oh, we found this. And I'll have a syrup.

[Alex]

So should I try it?

[Sally]

Yeah.

[Alex]

I'm so excited. Pretend it's not inside out. Going home now. We need spray tans, lymphatic drainage massage.

[Braxton]

Are you lymphatic?

[Alex]

I'm lymphatic, but I'm about to get my period, and I've been constipated all week. So I'm like, can she shove both out? I think I need, like, a juice, a coffee, sauna, and five layers of the Sprite tan. Let's go. There's a big spider. Holy shit. It's really big. Look at it.

[Braxton]

Where is it in the house? The bathroom.

[Alex]

Like, how did that get in here? Is it a jumper? It has those long legs. I don't know.

[Braxton]

It's like a jumper.

[Alex]

Get, like, a Tupperware. Okay, I know what to do. I'm scared. Is it dead? No, it just crawled over there. It's gonna get a dirty tampon on its head. Okay. It's okay.

[Braxton]

Oh, my God.

[Alex]

I don't know what to do about this spiders, so I'm going to ask co pilot because that's what I do for everything. There's this new feature.

[Co-Pilot AI]

Hey Alex, what's on your mind?

[Alex]

I need to know if this spider is dangerous or not.

[Co-Pilot AI]

If you can safely get a clear image of it, I might be able to help identify it or guide you on what to look for to determine if it's dangerous.

[Alex]

I'm setting my phone here cuz I'm scared. Okay, co pilot, you tell me what you see here.

[Braxton]

No.

[Co-Pilot AI]

I see a small green object on the floor. It's hard to tell if the spider's near it. Could you move the camera closer to the spider and keep an eye on it from a safe distance?

[Alex]

Do you see it?

[Co-Pilot AI]

Yes, I see it now. It looks like a common house spider. They're generally not dangerous to humans. The best approach is to gently guide you outdoors if you're comfortable doing that. Otherwise, leaving it be is an option too. They usually don't stick around for long.

[Alex]

Oh, okay. That makes me feel better. Thank you, co pilot.

[Co-Pilot AI]

I'm glad I could help.

[Alex]

Perfect. Braxton can take it outside. We're doing a lymphatic drainage. Basically get rid of all the bloating and make sure we're looking snatched.

[Braxton]

Worst case scenario, I would say.

[Alex]

Have you ever tried colonics? No. Don't get addicted. Don't do it. Like you don't include I personally get addicted.

[Braxton]

Yeah, that's the issue. I have an addicted personality. I'll get addicted to the colonic just because it's too invasive.

[Alex]

How you feeling for tomorrow? Feeling good. Good. Except I just feel like gassy and soda. I know you'll mix.

[Braxton]

So right now we're doing some R and R. I actually need to up these. Yep. I knew it wasn't on the highest setting. We need these eye bags to be gone because I'm walking in SI tomorrow.

[Alex]

Okay, now we're feeling snatched and it's time for spray tan. Look at me. Z. You look great.

[Braxton]

I know.

[Alex]

You're glowing. And we're so sorry. Yeah, we're pret.

[Braxton]

Oh my God.

[Alex]

Mine looks so yellow.

[Braxton]

But they're not.

[Alex]

Look who's home.

[Robson]

It's been so long since I've been back.

[Alex]

It has.

[Robson]

It's been like six weeks.

[Alex]

It's nice and clean. Look how clean it is.

[Robson]

It's so clean. Even like the sidewalk outstairs.

[Alex]

Yeah. Everything for you clean.

[Robson]

Thank you, baby.

[Alex]

You should see the bathroom near me. Sundress.

[Robson]

I cannot Wait.

[Sally]

He's like, I'm going to give you guys some abs.

[Braxton]

I was like, okay.

[Robson]

What are you doing back there?

[Alex]

I'm vlogging. You're all being recorded. We have a surprise for you. It's in the bathroom.

[Robson]

Is it a Christmas tree?

[Alex]

What?

[Braxton]

No.

[Alex]

A treat.

[Robson]

Oh, a treat.

[Alex]

No, a present. A Christmas tree.

[Robson]

I thought she said a tree.

[Alex]

Turn the lights on.

[Robson]

What do you have? What is it?

[Alex]

I know you need to get it.

[Robson]

I know what's in. I mean, what is in there, though?

[Alex]

A big spider.

[Robson]

Really? Get it. I'm kidding. How big?

[Alex]

I don't know. It's a house spider.

[Robson]

Oh, yeah.

[Alex]

It is pretty big, right?

[Robson]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Can you get it?

[Robson]

Oh, well, I'm covering him and then I'm.

[Alex]

Were you scared?

[Robson]

No.

[Alex]

Robson thought he was going to kill the spider. I said absolutely not.

[Robson]

Excited for 11, obviously.

[Alex]

I put it outside.

[Robson]

I am going to put it outside.

[Alex]

It needs to go back home.

[Robson]

Do you want to deal with the spider?

[Alex]

Hey. Hey, baby.

[Robson]

Look, he's out.

[Alex]

Okay, okay. Oh, my God.

[Robson]

Micromanager. Did you take the spider or do you want to come get it?

[Alex]

I don't think you can. That's why you need my help because.

[Robson]

This guy has a new life now.

[Alex]

Oh, my God. Bye, Peter. Good job. We're really excited to go to 11 tomorrow night.

[Braxton]

I'm so excited.

[Alex]

It's like Sally's never really had a proper 11 night.

[Braxton]

I haven't had a proper 11 night.

[Alex]

Surprisingly.

[Braxton]

I'm too busy at space.

[Alex]

Last year we got crazy after the sports illustrating show. Jaden Smith is performing and Sally thinks Justin Bieber's coming out. Oh, he's performing at 11? Yeah, yeah. Smoking, drinking. It's the night before as I swim. I'm ready. I haven't showed you guys, really, my glam room in here that I took over. So this was a bedroom before and then Braxton left and I said, we're gonna make this a little bit girlier and organized. I actually love putting away clothes now because I love this room. Look. Yup. Everything. It's so fun. I love being organized. Smoking, drinking, booking.

[Braxton]

I really like those sunnies.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Braxton]

Are you wearing press eye?

[Alex]

No.

[Braxton]

Okay. Can you come with me?

[Alex]

Yes. Good morning. Happy Saturday. We're going to brunch this morning. We're kind of matching in our navy. Look at us and our navy collars.

[Robson]

Good morning.

[Alex]

We're going to brunch and I think we're going to Sadell's and they're gonna have like a Sit Marks cocktail on the menu. So it's gonna be like something they're making with a marg and then you get like a can with your cocktail. So we're going and I'm gonna, like, sample out some flavors. We got some coffee. Disco Shark. I like your shoes. Thank you. No, no, they're not new.

[Robson]

You haven't worn them.

[Alex]

I have not. Around me they have. Oh, my God, heels. You look so pretty. Should I get, like, prettier? No.

[Braxton]

The only socks I have are aloe socks, so I can't wear sneakers.

[Alex]

Those are so cute. Polka dots. It's really a polka dot summer, eh? Right.

[Braxton]

But I feel weird that I have no necklaces on.

[Alex]

Well, you don't look weird. I need to swear. Yeah.

[Braxton]

I'm hungry.

[Alex]

Me too. Road trip. This is my car. Scary one and scary two.

[Sally]

I'm scary one.

[Braxton]

You're a scary one.

[Sally]

But actually, you're a scary one.

[Braxton]

Yeah.

[Sally]

Cheers.

[Alex]

So this is Simarg's mango. And we have Aperol Gramco, tequila and peach. And this is good because I found out that I'm allergic to champagne this year. So I can't have Aperol spritz this summer. So I'll be having a sip Spritz. That's really good.

[Robson]

Yeah, it's very good.

[Alex]

Even better than an Aperol Spritz, imo. Wait, this is really good.

[Braxton]

So good.

[Alex]

Whoa.

[Braxton]

Amazing.

[Alex]

We're all packed up. I have my two bags. We're gonna head over to the hotel now. And basically I'm gonna go into the room, drop my bags, and then we're going to do like a walk through of the show. So kind of just like practice the order and everything. And then I'm going to go back up to the room, start getting ready. Then we have red carpet show party and then 2:11. So we're in for a night. We're down at the pool. We're about to do the walk. We're running late, so I have to shower, shave, and then we have 30 minutes to get ready. Okay, minor problem. The shower is just not working. Oh.

[Alex]

This one or the other one?

[Robson]

What do you think?

[Alex]

I don't know. I don't know which one. I think this one. One. I don't know why I was freaking. The most important part is you have to put a lot of glow on so that you look shiny and oily. I hope that's a good job.

[Sally]

Okay, Kenzie's gonna walk you down to ballroom.

[Alex]

Perfect. So we're doing that one, and then we're doing the Patrick one on top because this one has a little tan.

[Alex]

Push it.

[Robson]

No, she's walking like this.

[Alex]

Now we get to party. I need a tissue. For the drama behind the scenes. We're making a music video because this is the closest I'll be to being a pop star.

[Braxton]

So, yeah, I think I'm gonna be a pop star after.

[Alex]

Can you be. You could be her stunt double.

[Braxton]

I know.

[Alex]

That's what we were saying.

[Braxton]

You playing the music?

[Alex]

I'm just going to sing, I think. Nailed it.

[Braxton]

I'm playing the music.

[Alex]

Club cheers. Oh, it's LXO on the vibe. The glasses are out because I get drunk. Guys, I can't control. And Jesse is performing. We're losing her 11 virginity, and I feel like I'm not a good influence. Grab a s and let's go. Sexy mamas. Sexy mamas in the crew. I definitely look like an anti because I have.

[Sally]

[Alex]

Can you add a BBL on me for that?

[Sally]

[Braxton]

I pulled a muscle. Get crazy, get wild.

[Alex]

Get party. Oh, my God. I'm getting deja vu. I'm getting deja vu. Oh, God. We just did this. We made it to 11. We were around the corner because there's so much traffic. I had to pee, but we made it to 11. This is the home. This is where we want to be. This is the strip club for the BB.

[Sally]

My first time out in Miami, I rated a 9.5 out of 10.

[Alex]

What? Show it. Show it away. Show it away. Okay, open the camera. And I'm so proud of myself that I did my skincare last night. I literally thought I had mascara on right now. Feeling terrible, actually. I'm actually weirdly feeling good, But I think that means I'm still drunk because we didn't get back until, like, 6:00am like, we got back, and it was light out.

[Braxton]

Why am I still eating the pizza rolls?

[Alex]

My head hurts a lot. We had such a fun night, but, like, you know what I said last night? This is the longest it's been where I had a day of nothing to do after going out. I'm not getting on a plane for, like, four days. I was like, I'm gonna have fun because I don't have to worry about anything. I was like, I can feel like today, like, I'm so excited to just be hungover and doing nothing. Like, truly, I don't know the last time that this happened.

[Braxton]

Do you feel like.

[Alex]

Yeah. Oh, you don't?

[Braxton]

No. Show them.

[Alex]

I can't show you guys what's in the fridge?

[Braxton]

No, I think you should.

[Alex]

No. There's a lot of food in there. I don't know why I was so anxious Last night, like, way more nervous than I was last year. I feel like there was just, like, other stuff stressing me out. You can see in the videos I'm walking. I keep, like, biting my lip. I don't think I've ever bit my lip before in my life.

[Braxton]

And I did it like 10 times.

[Alex]

I was like, shaking. Like, I couldn't even feel myself walking. Is there a coffee cup on top of that light post? What is that? Look at. There's like a coffee cup. Oh, hey, no switch. So real quick, I want to talk to you guys about Microsoft Copilot. And you guys have seen me use it throughout some of these vlogs. It is so, so helpful, you know, helping me with Memorial Day weekend, generating outfit ideas lists and organizing things. It helped me with true. It helped me tackle this spider in my house. It truly is a lifesaver. It's like an AI assistant. I cannot recommend it enough. You guys saw a new feature called Co Pilot Vision where it gives you, like, real time advice. You turn it on the camera, it can see what you're seeing. It helps you. Gives you real time feedback. It just makes everything so much easier. Like, I don't know, a time where something happens where I don't have to, like, turn on my co pilot and I'm like, hey, what's going on right now? What do I do? What do I order for dinner? I'm sad. Can you talk to me so you can scan the QR code here? And I'm gonna put a dink. A dink, A dink. So you can scan the QR code here. And I'm gonna put a link down below so you can download it, check it out, and tag me and your guys. Microsoft Copilot moments.

Go check Microsoft Copilot out. I love you all and I will see you next Wednesday. Bye.
