Welcome back to Hot Mess. This is just basically a little intro to Hot Mess. What's to come, what to expect. So this is no longer going to be a traditional podcast. It's going to be very video forward. I keep calling it a vlog cast. I'm not even sure if that's a thing. And then maybe it's just like Hot Mess, the show. So it's going to be under. Where the is it gonna be under? It's a little bit of a Hot Mess. Okay, so Hot Mess is going to be on my Alex Earl YouTube channel and it's also going to be on the Hot Mess channel on Spotify because I know that there's so many of you guys, my Earl girls, I love you guys dearly. Who come back and listen to Hot Mess every single week, or you did for the past year and a half. And putting a pause on the podcast was not an easy thing. Everything does happen for a reason. So while it was on pause, I stuck started vlogging on YouTube. Today we're going to see Sally's apartment in New York City. Hey, mtv. Welcome to my crib. Everyone's trying to decide if we're going to day three. Come with us on a family trip to Disney. Give a warm ladder welcome to our show, My special chicken. We're about to do our first shot together. It is officially time for our Coachella knitting. Lady Aga just went back on. In fact, I'm just, like secretly lying to another country right now and shooting for Sports Illustrated. I can't wait to go to Jamaica. I'm in disbelief that Ashton's graduating. There's nothing like Memorial Day weekend at the Jersey Shore. Ashton, Martine, we're leaving to now. Tomorrow we're going to turn some caicos. Get ready with me for the Kentucky Oak. I think you guys are really gonna look at my mom on the vlog red carpet show party. And then two. I knew I wanted to give you guys the weekly content, more behind the scenes of my life, just getting to connect with you guys. But I was like, you know what? I'll just try out something else right now. So I just started vlogging. And it's something I, like, wanted to test out for a while. And even in the past Hot Mess episodes, we did some that were like a little bit more vlog style focused. And I honestly just like, have been having a lot of fun with them. And I think even you guys have been telling me you're like, this just seems so much more your format, so much more your Style, like, you just feel, like, a little bit more comfortable, a little bit more yourself. I was like, oh, my gosh. And I think just like, going back and looking at the content and then looking at how I feel about the content that I'm putting out, I'm like, this is just so fun for me. And it feels so, like, positive in my vibe and just chaotic and a mess. And I think the one thing I have been missing with the vlogs is I want to get on and I want to do. What would Alex do? I want to talk to you guys. I love giving advice. I feel like I was in, like, a toxic kind of mental cycle with the podcast. And I think breaking out of that and, like, giving myself some time, I'm like, okay, what? Just going to focus on giving you guys the best experience possible. Get to know me a little bit better. And I'm so excited. Like, the stuff we have planned, I cannot wait for. I'm literally filming my girls trip right now. Let me go show you actually where I'm staying right now. If I don't trip, making it there on a cot in this room in Croatia. So, you know, this is our living room area that has been just completely taken over. Here's my bed. So, so basically I'm just bringing a camera everywhere with me. There's just no point in the day that I'm not filming. I know there's so many of you guys who've been. Excuse me, I'm recording for Hot Mess. Thank you. I know so many of you guys have watched the vlogs, and some of you guys who used to listen to the podcast didn't watch the vlog. So I want to give you guys a chance to, like, this week, go watch everything. YouTube, Spotify, follow us on socials for the updates. And at the end of the day, I have some so much to tell you guys because I have not been blabbing to you for an hour a week for the past however many months. I feel like I've just really been taking the time to listen to what you guys are saying. And you guys are just such a huge part of me and who I am. And I love you guys so much. I'm so excited for this. Hot Mess is back. Bye.
