A
Hi, guys. Welcome back to another episode of the Blondest podcast. I'm your host, Savannah.
- [00:12]
B
And I'm your co host, Tyler.
- [00:14]
A
Are we matching the same vibe?
- [00:16]
B
I just wanted to come in with your and Habibe.
- [00:19]
A
We're back from Dubai. It was the best experience I think I've had in my life and I honestly didn't think I would like Dubai at all.
- [00:27]
B
Yeah, like you, if you ask anyone in our lives, like anyone at the office, they're like, oh my gosh, are you so excited?
- [00:33]
A
I was like, no.
- [00:34]
B
And I was like. And like. Which is so crazy to think about. But I think it's also partially because we have been traveling nonstop for the past two months that like the thought of traveling 22 hours for a four day trip, I was like, I. I.
- [00:51]
A
Mean, I could do it. That seriously. When was the start of it?
- [00:54]
B
We went to Utah and then we.
- [00:56]
A
Went directly to Tampa. Before Utah?
- [01:01]
B
No, Hawaii.
- [01:02]
A
Like, but that was like, it was Hawaii. And then the next trip after Hawaii was Utah, I think.
- [01:06]
B
So I can't think of another trip in between. Okay, so we went to Utah, then from. Directly from Utah, we went to Tampa, came back, we were home for three days, then we went to Detroit, then we were back for like a week and then we went to la and then we were back for a week and then we went to. So it was just like non stop travel. And so much of it was like over the days we normally have off and then we were in office every day in between. So it was just like crazy non stop.
- [01:38]
A
And it was all work. Except Utah was for my birthday, which was fun. And I actually did really love that. Other than the fact that it's so expensive and the food is shit, like so bad. But okay, so we get to Dubai and okay, so I wanted to smuggle. Fun fact. Just so everyone knows, it's illegal to bring vibrators, cbd, marijuana, cross dress, pda.
- [02:05]
B
You can't stay in the same hotel room if you're not married.
- [02:08]
A
Which I hate the trips where Tyler doesn't sleep in my room, honestly, because then, like, he's less likely to do a skincare regimen with me in the morning. I want to put this bitch to work on work trips, but if he's in the other room, he's like, oh, like my phone's on do not disturb. Like, didn't see it. Already have my sunscreen on. So I like when he's in my room. Because then I'm like, no, you have to do it with me.
- [02:29]
B
Well, here's the thing that Savannah loves to do is she loves to make plans the night before. We all agree on something. And then the next morning, she's like, oh, I thought you would have known that. Like, I actually didn't want to go to breakfast. I didn't want to leave at this time.
- [02:46]
A
Why don't you go?
- [02:46]
B
I wanted to stay for two hours and just do our stuff.
- [02:49]
A
I send you telepathic signals and you're asleep and you miss them every time. Because I, like, try to get our brains. I'm like. I'm like, God, put this into Tyler's brain and then he'll know.
- [02:59]
B
Because, like, if she tells me, like, we're gonna do our skincare in the.
- [03:03]
A
Morning, you should know me better by now.
- [03:04]
B
No, because, like, we were there for so short. Like, if we're gonna do a break, if you wanna go to breakfast one morning, I'm gonna plan on going to breakfast.
- [03:10]
A
Okay, Fair. But yeah. So we couldn't stay in the same room, which is fine.
- [03:16]
B
Which is. It's okay. I, I, I like that.
- [03:19]
A
Do you miss me?
- [03:21]
B
We were together until, like, midnight every night. And then we were up and I.
- [03:26]
A
Went to bed every night at 3am and then I'd wake up at 6am so I'm like, still feel like I'm recovering. Like, I felt like I've been in a fever dream all week. Because we've only been back now for, like, five days. Yeah.
- [03:39]
B
Yeah.
- [03:40]
A
Isn't that crazy? And so, first of all, the time change, and I just never got adjusted. And I was ready to party in Dubai, but Tyler was, like, so sleepy. But I would have gone out. I just was worried about going out alone. So. But let's start from the beginning. Okay. So we were worried about bringing CBD mist. So I was like, whatever, I'll bring skin Recovery mist. Even though a lot of my followers were like, I've gone to Dubai so many times and I brought my CBD products. And, like, it's not been an issue.
- [04:07]
B
They were like, I didn't even think about that. Yeah, it was fine.
- [04:10]
A
Yeah. But you know me, I overthink everything. And I'm like, I would be the bitch that would go to prison and the Middle East.
- [04:16]
B
So for sure. And I did not want to deal with having to call the US Embassy to bust her out.
- [04:23]
A
Yeah, I feel like if I ever get arrested, it's going to be, I freed an animal that I wasn't supposed to. Like, a kept animal that I freed or something skincare related. Like, I Smuggled skincare somewhere. One of the two. So we get there and we're, like, ready. Like, we're a little anxious. We're like, we're about to get questioned. Like, Tyler's like, do not say we're here for business. Like, they think that you need, like, a work visa. And then we have to go to, like, this whole room. Like, blah, blah, blah. And so I go up first and he's just, like, really nice to me, the guy. And he's dressed in all of his, like, traditional stuff, which, honestly, the first, you get used to it once you are there longer. But, like, at first it's, like, a little intimidating because it's like a man in uniform, but it's like.
- [05:05]
B
It's like Emirati.
- [05:06]
A
Yeah. And so then it's like all of this white, which is honestly so stunning. And they fucking slay. But it's a little, like when you get off the plane, you know, and it's your first time, and the Middle east, you're like. You know, they look like they could fudge you up if they really wanted to, but they're actually the nicest people I've probably ever met my entire life. Like, I love Arab people. They are so nice. They're so sweet. Like, I bonded with one of the Emirati guys, Emoretti.
- [05:32]
B
Emirati.
- [05:32]
A
Emirati guys. Over perfume and one of the perfume shops, and we were just, like, kikiing it up, but I'm jumping ahead. So, anyways, I go talk to the guy, whatever, and then Tyler goes up. You can tell the story. It was just such an awkward exchange because I'm. We've. No one has ever asked me or anyone I've been with, like, our customs. Yeah.
- [05:55]
B
When we went to la, they did ask if we were brother or sister.
- [06:00]
A
Something about us together. They're like, are they fucking or are they friends? Like, people always want to know when I'm with my husband. Like, nobody asks, like, what our relation is with one another, but with Tyler, I feel like it's like 50, 50. Like, they either think we're besties. No, I think it's like, 25, 25, 25, 25. It's like besties, brother and sister, marriage. And then there needs to be a fourth, but I can't think of it.
- [06:24]
B
Mortal enemies. That's what we were going to la or coming home from la, whichever one it was.
- [06:31]
A
Yeah.
- [06:32]
B
But so, yeah, she goes through. Literally, like, took her two seconds, and I was like, oh, that was easy. And then I go up and he's looking at my stuff. And he's like, oh, are you traveling with anyone? And I was like, that girl that just went through. And he was like, oh, are you. What? Are you friends? And I was like, yeah. He was like, just friends. I was like, yeah. I don't know.
- [06:58]
A
The way you were just friends. That was so fucking weird.
- [07:02]
B
He was implying something, and I felt really uncomfortable. And mine did not take two seconds.
- [07:07]
A
No, he was like, just friends.
- [07:10]
B
I mean, granted, we just had traveled for 22 hours. I was wearing, like, a hat and a hoodie, and I probably looked sketchy.
- [07:17]
A
Yeah, you looked very straight.
- [07:19]
B
So I don't know. But that was, like, a weird start because I was like, well, she was.
- [07:25]
A
Like, giving me the eyes when I was going through. And I was like, okay, I see you. And then Tyler goes up and he's like, who. Who is she? Are y'all friends? Just friends.
- [07:34]
B
I know. He's, like, trying to find what hotel we were staying at so he could come. Maybe he's the one who left the card in your room.
- [07:40]
A
Maybe. And so then we get to the hotel, and it was like, a clusterfuck. Okay, I will talk shit about the people that work at the Conrad in Dubai. Y'all are fucking idiots. I don't know how you got the job. You guys honestly, like, are disgrace to the entire country. Idiots. Dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. And I can't. Okay, think about it. It's three fucking a.m. i'm exhausted. I want to get to my. And they're like, we don't see you on the reservation. And, like, this just happened. Which was not Skin Better's fault. It was the company they hired to put on the event's fault in Detroit. We get there and I have, like, my whole team with me, and we all have different rooms, and they didn't have us booked. And there was, like, a huge football game. And so there were, like, no rooms. And I'm like, are we just gonna be, like, homeless in downtown Detroit tonight? That's basically what's happening in Dubai. So I'm like, I'm exhausted. Tyler's trying to figure it out. Everyone's asleep. That, like, is our contact there, because.
- [08:33]
B
It'S 3am and the worst part is, is, like, I had gotten so many confirmations from the company that they had ensured that our rooms were all set to go because we were getting in at three in the morning that, like, no one would be available if we had any issues.
- [08:46]
A
We always have issues.
- [08:47]
B
They had checked in, like, they got in at 5pm that night. And I got a text from them saying, we reconfirmed with the hotel, all your names are down. You're going to have no issues when you get there.
- [08:58]
A
And we had nothing but issues. And then while we're standing there, this like, really unattractive older man is like right next to me. And then this like, young, young. Not young young. Like, she wasn't like 12, but probably like Ripley 19, definitely ripely 19 with big boobies, big booty, bleach, blonde hair, like decked out. And Van Cleef and Cartier with this like horrible ugly man. And I'm like, I want to rescue her. But she, she got her bag, she had shopping bags. She was like living her best life. And then they go upstairs and I'm like, damn, what a life that is. But good for her, honestly. Like, get your bag. But then finally, after Tyler deals with it for like an hour and I'm just like, basically pounding my head against the wall, we get up to the room, I go to sleep. The next morning I have a massage. So I, like, didn't sleep. I would probably stayed up till 6am and my massage was at 9 and I still had like sulfur spot treatment all over my forehead. So I looked fucking crusty. And I was like, I don't give a fuck. I don't care. Like, one thing about Savannah Bota is I either. There's two ends of the spectrum. I'm either like slaying or absolutely decaying, and there's no in between. Like, I'm either going all out or I'm gonna look like fucking shit. And so I go down in my robe and of course, like, I get in the elevator and there's just like a fuck ton of people. And everyone's like, all dressed like, to the nines. And I'm literally. My hair is like a rat's nest and I have sulfur dried on my forehead. And I'm like, this is humiliating. So I go in to get my massage and the lady was so sweet, but you guys, I was petted for 90 minutes. She did not even rub me. She was just caressing me the whole time. And she rubbed my titties, which I've never. Well, one other time at a Thai massage place, I had my titties rubbed and it felt great.
- [10:46]
B
I was about to say it was a nice.
- [10:47]
A
It was really nice actually. But it wasn't. It was just very like, I don't know. Anyway. And so then she's like, you're so dry, like an alligator. And I was like, oh, haha. Yeah, because I just. I don't know. I don't like people knowing I'm an esthetician when they don't know who I am. Like, I like to be incognito. One time when I was. This is kind of makes me. It's gonna make me sound like a pathological liar, but it's fine. I'm sure someone else has done this, and maybe you have. But, like, she asked me what I did, and, like, at the time, I wasn't, like, very successful in doing aesthetics. And, like, I didn't want to talk about skincare because it's, like, kind of the same vein, you know, like, hair, lashes, nails, skin massage. Just kind of like, all, like, we're all kind of in, like, the same community, and I just didn't want to talk about it. So I told her I was a neurosurgeon.
- [11:37]
B
Oh, no. I've done stuff like that, like, with Uber drivers.
- [11:41]
A
Every time she'd asked me about all these cases, so she gave the best massages ever. But I had to stop going to her because I was like, I can't keep up with, like, this elaborate lie. Like, every time she's asking me, like, how my surgeries are going and, like, my most difficult cases, and I'm like, I know nothing.
- [11:56]
B
You're, like, going home and watching Grey's Anatomy to, like, get a case from them to come and retell the episode.
- [12:01]
A
And as soon as I said it, like, I was like, why the fuck did I say that? I'm like, why did I say that? Like, for what reason? And then I was like, well, just go with it. And it just turned into me never seeing her again because I was just. Couldn't do it. So anyways, I didn't want to. I didn't lie to this lady. I just was like. Didn't tell her what I did for a living. And.
- [12:22]
B
But she was saying, your face was.
- [12:24]
A
So dry, like an alligator sulfur. And I just want to say anything. And then I was like, she'll drop it. She's like, you really need to come for a facial. She's like, you're so beautiful, but so dry, like an alligator. And she just kept comparing me to a fucking alligator. And I'm like, okay, got it, got it, got it. And then I get to the front to, like, pay for my massage. And first of all, I was very stressed at first because it said $800, but it was only 190. But it was because it was in Durhams, which is, like, their currency in the uae. And so I was like, what the fuck? I did not just pay $800 to get petted and roasted. But, you know, honestly, the titty rub was good. So then she's like, look at me, like, I'm 62 years old. And she actually looked so fudgeing bomb. And she was like, you try all this skincare. She's like, please come back for a facial. Like, you really need it. Like, it's going to help you so much, like, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay. Got it. Awesome. And she's like, you need this lotion. She's showing me all this stuff. And, like, I don't have the heart to be like, listen, babe. Like, I'm a big deal in the States. I'm like the esthetician. I don't even care about.
- [13:27]
B
I know what good skincare is.
- [13:28]
A
I know what good skincare is. So I'm just letting her give me her spiel. And, you know, I'm really proud of myself because I didn't buy anything. And typical Savannah, I would have bought everything because I feel bad saying no to people, which we'll get into. And so then I go upstairs, and Tyler and I just, like, I quickly get ready. I'm like, I don't give a what I look like right now. Like, let's just go adventure. And we go to the Dubai Mall, and I realized I hadn't ate a single morsel in 48 hours because we, like, lost an entire day. And I hate airplane food. And, like, I hate. I don't want to poop or pee on a plane. So I basically deprived my body of every liquid or substance when I travel, which is, like, not great. But I was like, I'm not gonna poop on this plane. Like, it's not gonna happen. I'm not gonna pee on this plane. And I didn't. I did not poop or pee on a plane or in an airport or in an airport. Not once. And so I was like, you know, that's. That's just how it's going to be. And so I didn't eat anything. So we're walking in the airport, and I get lightheaded and I almost pass.
- [14:26]
B
Out, and I'm like, like, grabbing the wall next to her. Like, we had to go off into a side hallway, and she almost collapsed.
- [14:33]
A
Yes.
- [14:34]
B
I was like, we need to eat.
- [14:35]
A
I was like, I have to eat. And then, you know when you get to a point where you're, like, in starvation mode, where you, like, can't eat because you feel so nauseous and like smelling or thinking about food makes you like even more sick. So I was like having this whole battle. I like know I need to put something in my body or I'm gonna like, probably have a heart attack, panic attack, die. And then also like if I eat, I might throw up. And so I like picked at some stuff and drank some Sprite and you know, got myself to a better place.
- [15:02]
B
She did.
- [15:03]
A
And then we went and smelled a ton of perfumes.
- [15:07]
B
Oh my gosh. Yeah, this was like.
- [15:09]
A
There's a whole. Okay, the Dubai mall is huge. There's an entire floor just of perfume.
- [15:14]
B
Yeah. Like a million shops.
- [15:16]
A
And it was so much fun.
- [15:18]
B
Yeah, that's like Savannah's favorite thing to do. And like cuz we went when we were in LA to Lucky Scent. What? The scent bar. Is that what it's called?
- [15:25]
A
And that's wearing one today. It's called Messy Sexy. Just rolled out of bed. And I really wanted to gatekeep this and I will not post it on my Instagram stories. So just the besties that listen to the podcast get to know.
- [15:35]
B
It smells really.
- [15:37]
A
It's so sexy. It is the sexiest perfume I've ever worn. I love it.
- [15:42]
B
But like this was like that store because it's basically a bunch of different brands all in one store. And this was a bunch of different brands but their own stores. And then there were some like, that had different. I don't know, there was a million stores of perfumes you could literally smell all day long and still have new fragrances to smell. And then even like I thought everything we saw was it. And then like the second time we go like you go back behind this little hallway and then there's more perfume stores and I was like, God damn.
- [16:14]
A
But honestly guys, I'm so proud of me because I really didn't shop that bad this trip.
- [16:18]
B
No, she. I mean, did we have to buy another suitcase? Yes. But it's because she got a lot of perfumes for gifts for family. And the boxes were so big.
- [16:27]
A
Yeah, they're huge boxes. Like it's. Everything is like a display. Like everything. Like, I just love. I love Dubai.
- [16:35]
B
No, the Dubai mall was insane. I think there's like 1800 stores or something like that. And like you can run a marathon in this mall.
- [16:42]
A
And guys, I honestly want to move to Dubai. They have zero income tax and like sales tax is 4% crazy.
- [16:48]
B
I think it's five.
- [16:49]
A
Five, maybe four.
- [16:50]
B
I don't know, crazy either way.
- [16:52]
A
Like insane. Like I would. And I was talking to a guy, and he was telling me that you can have four wives if you. If you're, like, fair with all of them. So, like, if you buy one of them a Van Cleef bracelet, you have to buy all four. Four of them a Van Cleef bracelet.
- [17:04]
B
Or if you buy a house.
- [17:05]
A
Yeah, I have to buy four houses.
- [17:06]
B
Yeah.
- [17:06]
A
And there's a lot of guys that have four wives. And honestly, I feel like that's the life I want to live.
- [17:12]
B
No, he literally said, you can have as many wives as you can afford.
- [17:15]
A
Yeah, that's.
- [17:16]
B
That's. That's the only role they have. And then she was like, how many wives do you have? And he was like, I can only afford one. That's what he said.
- [17:26]
A
I would love that. To not be annoyed. 24. 7. Love you, Lance. But if I could just, like, be.
- [17:33]
B
Like, no, no, I think that's.
- [17:36]
A
I would love it.
- [17:38]
B
I wouldn't.
- [17:39]
A
You wouldn't. I would be okay. Sharing is caring. I. I love it anyway, like, slay for them. Honestly, it's very different. I think I would want to be the wife that has five husbands.
- [17:52]
B
Okay.
- [17:53]
A
Because I'd have a handyman.
- [17:54]
B
It can't work like that.
- [17:55]
A
But in my own country, if I had, like, United States of Savannah, the USS United Savannah Emirates, I would have one man that was really good at cooking. Okay.
- [18:08]
B
Okay.
- [18:09]
A
I'd have one that was, like, handyman. Could fix anything. Fix my car, build me whatever the I wanted. Okay. I'd have one that's, like, very, like an inspirational speaker. Emotionally supportive. Amazing at that. Okay. Then my fourth one. Hmm. I'd want him to be rich, too. That one.
- [18:31]
B
That one.
- [18:31]
A
That one. So I could, like, switch the power dynamic. And then my fifth one, maybe, like, a doctor, so I could, like. Like a dermatologist. And that would be my family life. But I would only have one kid. They could all split.
- [18:48]
B
So chaotic. That sounds horrible.
- [18:50]
A
And then what happened then? Where are we at? Oh, so into the Dubai Mall.
- [18:54]
B
And then we went to the souk.
- [18:56]
A
Oh, my God. And I got haggled there. I got scarfed. It's our new term. Anytime someone haggles you. Anytime someone bamboozled.
- [19:04]
B
There was no haggling.
- [19:06]
A
There was haggling.
- [19:07]
B
There was zero haggling.
- [19:08]
A
There was so much haggling.
- [19:10]
B
Zero. They gave you a price. And you said, here's my card.
- [19:13]
A
That's haggling.
- [19:14]
B
It's not haggling. That's scamming.
- [19:17]
A
Okay, well, they scarfed me.
- [19:19]
B
Yeah.
- [19:19]
A
So I went and got this really pretty gold bracelet, and I love it. And I got one for my mom, too. And they were honest and nice men. And honestly, intuition's everything your body knows. I'm walking through there's, like, thousands of gold shops, and, like, all of them are pretty. All of them look really cool. And I was like, I'm just gonna, like, go with where my heart tells me to go. And I ended up going to a really good one. And then after that, we were walking and looking at all of these spices, and honestly. Okay, so I didn't know this before I went, but Dubai is actually very safe. It's, like, the safest place. Like, locals say you could, like, leave a Birkin bag in the middle of the street, and it would be there in the morning. I don't know how true that is, but it is very safe. Like, I never felt unsafe the entire time I was there. And, like, I feel like I could have gone by myself and been fine, except there was one restaurant I went to where I did not feel as safe.
- [20:14]
B
The American. Nice one. The one that was not giving.
- [20:17]
A
Yeah, the one that we went to with Candace.
- [20:20]
B
Yeah.
- [20:20]
A
Yeah. Because I got hit on, like, 17 times.
- [20:23]
B
That looked like a place you would get, like, date raped.
- [20:27]
A
Yeah, no, for sure. It was a record.
- [20:30]
B
Well, okay. It was. Okay, we'll get there in the story, because that's.
- [20:32]
A
I think that's a record for me.
- [20:34]
B
Yeah. Well, I wasn't with her when that.
- [20:36]
A
Happened, so I know. I never get hit on.
- [20:39]
B
Normally, I'm the cockpuck.
- [20:40]
A
He is. But it's all good because I'm married. But.
- [20:43]
B
No. Yeah, it's a good thing.
- [20:44]
A
But if I was single, we'd have to, like, yassify you a little bit more.
- [20:48]
B
No.
- [20:49]
A
Yeah. Okay. So where are we?
- [20:53]
B
We are the soup. Soup. Yeah.
- [20:55]
A
Okay. So I'm looking at, like, all these spices. Like, I'm being just like. I'm living out my little tourist dream. Okay. I'm, like, sniffing and smelling and seeing, and they have.
- [21:04]
B
They have it set up so beautifully outside of these shops. Like, it's, like, the colors.
- [21:09]
A
It's a static as well.
- [21:10]
B
And it really.
- [21:11]
A
And it smells so good. Like, it smelled amazing there. And that's one of the questions I got. If it was, like, stinky in Dubai. It actually smelled amazing. It smelled like spices and amazing perfume. Everyone smells so good there. It's crazy. So anyway, then what happened first?
- [21:27]
B
No. So we were looking outside.
- [21:29]
A
I need to get Lance to cook with that curry that I brought home.
- [21:33]
B
And get him to cook with the curry.
- [21:35]
A
I just was thinking, I forgot I got that.
- [21:38]
B
So we were looking at this very pretty display of spices. And then this guy comes up to Savannah and is like, I have a shop. I have a shop. And I'm still looking at the spices. And I turn around and she's like, halfway down the street with this man. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? And so I, like, by time, I catch up to them. They are in the shop and they are wrapping her with, like, one of those head wraps. And I was like, how? I was. I looked away for 10 seconds, and this girl is halfway across the street in another shop getting her head wrapped. And so, like, you know, he's talking about cashmere. Cashmere. These are made with cashmere from India. It's like the finest cashmere. Like, saying all this stuff, wrapping her head. And she's like, hehehe. And then what? And then he's like, oh, you need one too? To me. And I'm like, oh, no, no, thank you.
- [22:30]
A
And I was like, yes, okay.
- [22:31]
B
And Savannah's like, yes, he needs one.
- [22:33]
A
I'm like, if I'm getting scarfed, you're getting scarfed too, bitch.
- [22:38]
B
Well, really, you just scammed yourself out of more money. I was trying to say.
- [22:41]
A
No, you know what, Tyler? I. Here's the thing, and I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I don't like conflict. I try to live my life as peaceful as fucking possible. I really don't like drama. Like, I'm not gonna insert myself in situations that I don't need to be in. Like, the only time I'll tussle with a bitch, as if they tussle with me first and they talk about Cyrus or they talk about my fucking family. Like, I'll rip your heart out and eat it. But.
- [23:11]
B
But she also, like, she loves people who are very passionate.
- [23:15]
A
Yes. And hard workers. He was so fucking passionate about his shop, and he was very compelling. He was using very big words, and he was just, like, really, like, working hard. Like, he was just very enthusiastic. Like, he wanted to make that sale. Like. And I'm so used to, like, going into, like, stores here in America, and they're like, they don't give a fuck if you buy something or not. They, like, are on their phone. They don't care. This man cared. Cared so much. And I was like, you know what? He's just trying to hustle for his family. And, like, I fucking get it. Like, there was a time in a day where like, now my clients respect and know my opinion. I don't have to, like, work to get the sale. Like, they already trust me, and I'm just doing my job. But back then, like, it was. I had to, like, really convince people, like, that they need a retinol or need a vitamin C and, like.
- [23:56]
B
And that this one's different.
- [23:57]
A
Pulled my heartstrings, okay. That this man was really trying to sell it. And I was like, in my head, I'm like, it's probably 35. Like, I know these are worth, like, five bucks. It's probably, like, marked up to 35. Like, whatever. So then I'm like, okay, obviously I'm not gonna wear these, like, walking around the street, because that's definitely cultural appropriation and, like, just awkward and weird because no one wears that. The only time we did wear our heads wrapped was, like, when we were at the desert. Because you, like, need to. And it's like, a vibe. And, like, everyone's doing it, and it's part of the culture. And it's like, okay.
- [24:27]
B
And it's like.
- [24:28]
A
It's, like, dusty. Yeah, it's dusty. And it's like. It's.
- [24:31]
B
It serves a purpose.
- [24:32]
A
It serves a purpose. And, like, they want you to do it. Like, everyone's doing it, but, like, just, like, walking around, like, the streets of Dubai, it felt off. It just was nothing. It drew so much attention to us. Okay, so we wore it for, like, three seconds. And then I was like, take this shit off me. We look like idiots. Like, we look like fucking white tourists. Like, yeah. So embarrassing. But anyway, so I go up and he's like, $350. And I'm like, okay.
- [24:59]
B
No, actually, I don't think that's what happened. I think you were still confused on the conversion rate. And so he, like, typed out the price in Durhams on a calculator, showed you, and you were like, okay. And then you paid for it. And then, like, I didn't find my card.
- [25:14]
A
Yeah.
- [25:14]
B
After. And I was like, that.
- [25:16]
A
And I looked at Tyler. I was like, that was $355.
- [25:19]
B
I was like, no fucking way. Because, like. And the whole time they couldn't get her card to work, and they were running to, like, six different shops to get one that worked with Amex.
- [25:27]
A
Fun fact. You need a visa or a MasterCard.
- [25:29]
B
In my souk.
- [25:31]
A
Yeah, the souk. But, like, in the mall, you're fine with an Amex. But. Yeah. And so.
- [25:36]
B
So the whole time they were looking for a card machine, I was like, this is Our opportunity. Like, say we're late to dinner. Say we're like, we can go and.
- [25:42]
A
Like, take them off.
- [25:42]
B
No, I feel bad. No, I feel bad.
- [25:44]
A
Well, because I was worried. Like, they wrapped it around my head. Like, what if I had lice? Like, what if I got sunscreen on it? Like, what if? What if?
- [25:50]
B
Well, you didn't ask them to put it on your head.
- [25:53]
A
Yeah, that's my point. But I didn't say no.
- [25:56]
B
I did, and they still put it on my head, so.
- [25:59]
A
Well, I didn't explicitly say, like, no, don't. It was just my eyes of danger. There's a video, and you can just see my eyes. I'm, like, so uncomfortable. So that happens. And then we're walking, and I see another spice place. And there's this little boy. And of course, kids love kids. He wasn't little. He was, like, probably 13. And he was hustling for his dad. Dad. And so he's, like, showing me all these things. I'm smelling all of these spices, all these teas. Like, I'm having, like, a whole aromic experience. And then all of a sudden, he's like, close your eyes. I'm like, okay, why not? And so I close my eyes, and he lights something on fire, puts it under my nose, and I almost fall back. Like, it. Literally, I thought I had just done math, guys. Like, honestly, like, it. It was a whole experience, but it was just like this. It's called crystal menthol. Not crystal meth. Crystal menthol.
- [26:52]
B
And it, like, chopped up meth. Yeah.
- [26:55]
A
I mean, it's literally, like, white rock.
- [26:57]
B
Yeah.
- [26:58]
A
And so, yeah, that was fun, but it cleared my sinuses. He said, it's so good for, like, sinuses. It's good for, like, productivity. Like, wakes you up. Like, really invigorates your mind and soul and body. And it's like Vicks vapor rub times 3,000. I've never. I mean, I. Ever since. I have never smelled better.
- [27:15]
B
You were smelling colors.
- [27:16]
A
I was smelling colors. I was seeing colors. It was crazy. But just imagine being on the streets in a foreign country and someone being like, close your eyes. And you're like. Like, oh, they're gonna, like, put flour or something yummy like, up against your nose. And he's like, now take a deep breath. And you just literally inhale. Mint. Smoke. Smoky mint.
- [27:34]
B
Yeah. And I was. And I'm such a, like, sketched out person that I'm not smelling anything. I'm not drinking anything.
- [27:44]
A
He's the worst. Like, I was trying to get him to try my Bloody Mary on the flight. Won't try it. And then.
- [27:49]
B
Well, I just fucking hate tomato juice.
- [27:50]
A
Okay. And then I try to get him to, like, get hyaline X just for fun so he can feel it. Won't do it.
- [27:57]
B
I love how you're making me out to be a bad guy because I don't want dissolver when I don't have anything in my face to dissolve.
- [28:04]
A
It burns and I want you to feel it.
- [28:06]
B
I don't.
- [28:07]
A
I'll pay for it. Fuck.
- [28:09]
B
If you're going to pay for hyaline X, you should pay for filler too.
- [28:12]
A
Okay, deal.
- [28:13]
B
We'll do the hyaline X first, then the filler.
- [28:15]
A
Yeah. I wonder if it still burns if you don't have any filler there to dissolve though.
- [28:19]
B
Does it only dissolve filler? Do you think it dissolves fat? No, if it dissolves fat, it does not dissolve fat.
- [28:24]
A
Freak.
- [28:25]
B
No. I wished it would.
- [28:26]
A
No, that's like Kybella. Stomach acid is what's in Kybella. Does not work.
- [28:31]
B
No, you did it like 17 times.
- [28:33]
A
Still had to get necklace. Yeah, you just look like a bullfrog for three months and then you go.
- [28:39]
B
Back to what you were before.
- [28:40]
A
And I think that's what it is that you think you're like, have a smaller neck. Because, like, look, we're gonna make you look fat as fuck for three months and then your swelling will go down. Okay. So then that happens. And then he's like, come into my shop. And Tyler's like, fuck, Savannah, don't go into the shop. And before you know it, my bitch ass is in. This man is showing us all of his, like, seasoning. And honestly, I'm glad we went into this one. Like, they have such good saffron there, but it's so expensive. It's like $300 for, like a gram.
- [29:07]
B
I mean, saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. So, like, that. It wasn't that crazy to me. But, like, the other things that they had were definitely, like, way more expensive than they should have been.
- [29:18]
A
Yeah.
- [29:19]
B
But that's what we later found out when we were talking to someone from their. He was like, those scarves you bought for $350 should be like $15. Like, if I. If the man that we were talking to who lived there walked in.
- [29:31]
A
Yeah. They would have given it to him for 15.
- [29:33]
B
Yeah.
- [29:33]
A
But I just say dummy, idiot, blonde tourist. Well, actually, my hair was really brown when I went.
- [29:38]
B
It was.
- [29:40]
A
Yeah. What do we think, guys? I'm having an Identity crisis. I fucking hate it. I'm meant to be blonde. And you know what? I'm so glad I tried it out and I'm so glad. Why are we looking at me? I'm just glad I did it. And it's lighter now because I've done like a clarifying shampoo. Yeah. But she was like, brown. I've gone through like five hair colors this month. That if that tells you how my mental health is. And so then what happened after that? Oh, I got all this, like, curry. I got some chai tea. And again, this guy was very compelling. And like, you know, he put the time and effort. He took 45 minutes explaining every single spice that he had in his spice shop. And so I was like, I'm not going to leave empty handed. And so I ended up paying $150 for seasoning. Yes.
- [30:32]
B
And then he, like, he.
- [30:34]
A
Oh, my God, this story.
- [30:36]
B
When she was checking out, he, like, pulled me aside and was like showing me this. Yeah. This specialty blend. And he was like saying like all this stuff about it. And then he was like, yeah, Increases blood flow. It. It'll make you.
- [30:55]
A
It'll make your penis taller than the Burj Khalifa.
- [30:58]
B
Yeah, like stand up taller than the Burj Khalifa.
- [31:02]
A
Happy wife, happy life.
- [31:03]
B
And I was like, no, thank you. He was like, you sure? I was like, yeah, you should have got it. No, I don't like tea, but. And I don't need Viagra form of tea.
- [31:16]
A
Like, I'm 25.
- [31:17]
B
Yeah. I'm literally 25 years old. Like, why does he acting like I'm 72?
- [31:22]
A
I just love. It'll make your penis taller than the birch Khalil.
- [31:26]
B
Yeah, that's it.
- [31:26]
A
That eats. And I love analogies. I respect an analogy. And if I had heard it, I would have bought it.
- [31:32]
B
Well, no, I'm okay. Anyway, so that was very ridiculous. I will say, as a whole, I did not enjoy the souk. I. I'm not someone. Some people love that shit. They love going to haggle. They. I love going to a store. The prices are set. I know what I'm expecting. The people are going to not try to sell me on. Like, I don't know.
- [31:53]
A
I loved it.
- [31:53]
B
Markets like that stressed me out and.
- [31:56]
A
I had a good time.
- [31:57]
B
Yeah, no, it was cool. Like, no one would be that passionate in a mall.
- [32:03]
A
No, but I respected the hustle. I respected.
- [32:07]
B
So did I.
- [32:08]
A
All of. I mean, they were just eyes wide, bushy tailed, like, ready, like they were cracked out. And I appreciated it a lot. I Was like, I would hire these to come work for sba. Honestly, great salesman. And then went back to the hotel, and then we met with the distributors for Factor 5. And they basically told me how I got scammed everywhere except for my gold bracelet. And they were, like, really impressed because this is, what, 15 grams of gold?
- [32:39]
B
I don't know.
- [32:40]
A
It was like, 15 grams of gold, I think. It's so pretty. I love it. And I got one for my mommy. But anyway, so that.
- [32:48]
B
Did you give it to her?
- [32:49]
A
No, it's for Christmas.
- [32:50]
B
Oh, okay.
- [32:52]
A
And we'll see if she pisses me off between now and then. Just kidding. So then that happened, and then we're just, like, chit chatting and talking to them. And then, you know, I'm just, like, very gullible. And I believe everybody. I believe the best in people. And that's why I always get hurt, which I've been better lately. Like, I think maybe your guard is more up now. Yeah, definitely. Like, as of, like, the past three weeks, my guard has really been up. So we'll see how that goes. But I just hate being jaded. Like, I. One of my favorite things is that I see the world with a childlike view. And I feel like. I don't know. I don't like being a skeptic or cynical. Like, some days you might get scarfed. Some days, you know, you might have an employee take advantage of you. But most of the time, like, you open your heart to new experiences and.
- [33:40]
B
People, you know, it rewards you.
- [33:43]
A
Yeah. So I just. I like to be like that. And I just trust people because I would never do that shit to someone. So I'm like, why would they lie? Why would they be a bad person? But people just are awful.
- [33:57]
B
Yep. We're talking. They tell us that we're getting scammed, and then we start talking about camels.
- [34:03]
A
This is my favorite story in this guy. Maj is like, they have a camel beauty contest, and they do Botox and filler on these camels. And, like, John, the owner of Factor 5, and Tyler and a couple other people, the scientists and stuff, are like, no. Like, you're lying. Like, you're lying. And I'm like, no, he's for sure. Like, why would he lie? I love Maj. I just met him, but I love this man. Why would he lie to me? And so he starts telling us that you can win $11 million if your camel wins the camel pageant. So I was like, I believe it. And so they put lip filler in the camels. They'd use a Little bit of Botox in the camels and they use, like, kind of like an epidural sized syringe needle. And. Yeah, it's real. I googled it. And then everyone didn't believe him, but I believed him. And I. He was right. He wasn't lying.
- [34:57]
B
I was literally looking at him and being. I was like, you're fucking with me right now. Like, there's no. There's no way.
- [35:04]
A
Yeah.
- [35:04]
B
Because, like, the concept to me of, like, putting lip filler and doing Botox on a camel is so outside. But then. Yeah. I mean, if you can win $11 million.
- [35:14]
A
Yeah.
- [35:15]
B
By beautifying a camel a little bit.
- [35:17]
A
And people may say it's animal abuse. And you know what? Those camels are treated better than most Americans. So.
- [35:23]
B
Yeah. He was saying they get, like, flown to France.
- [35:26]
A
Yeah. Live out their days.
- [35:27]
B
Like. Yeah. Special beauty treatments and massages and all this stuff.
- [35:31]
A
And I was like, yeah, those camels.
- [35:32]
B
Are really good camel.
- [35:33]
A
I want to come back. It's a camel. Yeah. So then that happened. And then we went to bed. We woke up the next day, was at the show. The show was really cool. They do it bigger in Dubai. It was awesome. I mean, all of the, like, little booths. Booths were, like, very cool, and it was awesome. And I had some Dubai fans, which was pretty crazy. I didn't think that people would really, like, know me there, but, you know.
- [35:57]
B
People are like, I came to this just to see you. Like, I can't believe you're here. And it was like, whoa. And. But no, the booths were fucking insane. Like, they put money into this shit in Dubai.
- [36:09]
A
You go to the US Shows look like the podunk.
- [36:12]
B
No. Yeah. It looks like ghetto. Like, they. Like the US. The US Shows looks like they took, like, four sticks and a tarp and, like, built a booth.
- [36:21]
A
Yeah.
- [36:22]
B
And I've been to a lot where they look great, but Dubai was on another level.
- [36:25]
A
Like, they had, like, three playing the piano.
- [36:28]
B
Yeah. At one of the booths, like, full performance. The Lotus, which is the distributor for factor 5 in Dubai, had like this 3D projection thing. So it, like, it was like, super crazy. It looked like they were coming out of the screen with the box of Factor five. I was. It was definitely an experience. Savannah gave her little. My little speech and demonstration. She performed her technique with. To the best of her ability.
- [37:03]
A
Hard. They talk very fast, I will say that. And very hard to give direction. And so I. He was like, you're gonna hear this and then this and then da, da, da, da, da. And I'm like, okay. I was like. I was so confused. There's a picture of me. It's the funniest fucking picture I think I've ever seen. It's like two professional photos. And you. I. I've never looked more confused in my entire life. Like, I literally look like someone just told me the earth was flat.
- [37:28]
B
And it's so. Yeah, and it's so funny. Cause, like, in the photos, you can tell. It's like.
- [37:33]
A
I'm like.
- [37:33]
B
You can tell. It's like the foreign distributor on her right side. And then John, the American CEO, like, here, the founder of the company, and you can see her, like, looking between John and the guy, like, what is going on right now?
- [37:47]
A
Yeah. But I taught me and everyone there that Savannah motherfucking Bodak can perform without any direction because I had no fucking clue. Like, there was no PowerPoint. I know how many people are gonna be on stage with me. I didn't know what treatment I was performing. They had my model numbed, which she shouldn't have been numbed. It was just, like, so many, like, random little things. But, yeah. So then that happened. And then what happened after that?
- [38:12]
B
Then we went home.
- [38:18]
A
Oh, wait, we went to dinner with them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we went to dinner.
- [38:21]
B
That was our first time doing shisha.
- [38:24]
A
Yeah, smoking shisha. I love shisha. I'd smoke that every day. It was fun.
- [38:31]
B
It was. And it was so cool because I think a lot of the times when some. Someone from the States goes to Dubai, like, there are so many, like, really nice, touristy restaurants. Yeah. Like, super nice, gorgeous restaurants that are slay. Amazing pictures. Like, very, you know, America. I don't want to say Americanized, but y'all know the vibe I'm talking about. And it was cool because with these foreign distributors, like, they were bringing us to the really good, like, local, real culture, like, where the people of Dubai would go to eat. And so it was really cool. They had. What was the juice? It was like a watermelon juice or like pomegranate. Pomegranate. So good.
- [39:12]
A
And then I drink so much Moroccan tea, guys. I think I had, like, four to five different glasses.
- [39:18]
B
Yeah, they were small.
- [39:19]
A
They were small. But I drank so much, and I was, like, wired. And so then I didn't, like, sleep at all that night. And then the next day. What was the next day? Was that the second day of the trade show?
- [39:27]
B
We went. Yeah, we went for a little bit to the trade show. There wasn't. I mean, her. Her obligation was the one talk on Friday So on Saturday, we went and went in, and then. Yeah, we. We didn't have a strict itinerary going into it, which stressed us out a little bit. But that's just how they roll over there.
- [39:48]
A
We learned just. The plan is no plan. The plan is just to be on call, like a doctor or a flight attendant or like, a private jet flyer pilot, which, you know, is not how I like life.
- [39:58]
B
Not ideal.
- [39:59]
A
No. I hate that.
- [40:00]
B
Especially, like, when we're. We obviously were going to Dubai. Like, there's so many things to do. So we just kind of had to.
- [40:07]
A
Figure out, like, I want to know when I need to be, like, the Dallas esthetician, and then when I can be, like, Savannah, the tourist.
- [40:12]
B
The adventurer.
- [40:13]
A
Yeah. So we go to the desert, and it was so much fun. We start doing. What's it called? Sand bugging.
- [40:23]
B
Well, we need to back up a.
- [40:25]
A
Little bit, because what am I missing?
- [40:27]
B
This one was blustly. This was day one. So the first part. The first stop was the camels.
- [40:35]
A
Our private one was a little.
- [40:38]
B
Yeah, the camels.
- [40:41]
A
We were so sad, you guys. The camels were so sad. I felt so bad. It was so bad. I was, like, petting them and cuddling them, and I really, like, bonded with a little skinny white one.
- [40:53]
B
Yeah. And so we were just. I mean, like, I want to talk about this.
- [40:56]
A
This makes me so sad. I don't even want to bring it up. It was just sad. And, like, I was interrogating the guy, and I was like, are these camels happy? And he was like, yeah. And I'm like, I don't think you're telling the truth. I don't think they're happy.
- [41:09]
B
I won't go too much into the sad part about them and how sad they looked, but when you go to Dubai and you see so many pictures of people, they're riding camels, like, in the middle of the desert, and we pull up, like, literally this farm, and it's like a pin for these camels, and you just ride in a circle. It was like a kitty. Like a petting zoo. That's what it was for these camels. And so it was just very. Not what we were gonna be expecting.
- [41:33]
A
But it was gonna be like a trail ride.
- [41:35]
B
Yeah.
- [41:36]
A
With you do. With, like, horses. But camel style.
- [41:40]
B
But camel style. And so then. Yeah, then we went and drove to this place to go dune buggying and Savannah.
- [41:50]
A
No. What's the car thing? What's the car thing called?
- [41:54]
B
Oh, the dune bashing.
- [41:55]
A
Yes. And that.
- [41:57]
B
That was 10 out of 10.
- [41:58]
A
I think it fixed my herniated disc, honestly, because it has not been in pain since that moment. And I wasn't thinking about it. And then I was like, oh, fuck. Like, I'm getting, like, thrown around in this car going, like, I'm telling you guys, I have video, but it does not show how. Like, I'm telling you. Like, mountains that are full of sand and they're going up and around. Like, I was like, we're gonna flip and die. And fun fact. They go to school. Was it a month? One month they go to school for. To be able to do it.
- [42:25]
B
Like, you can't just be a driver.
- [42:27]
A
Yeah, it was so fucking fun. And then we get to where we're doing our ATV and I'm getting my head wrapped again, and I hear this meow. And if you know me, I'm like, I'm basically snow white cats just come to me. And so all these cats start surrounding me and I'm like, oh, fuck, I don't have any food. Like, I have pistachios, but they probably don't want pistachios. And then I was like, wait, we have Tyler's backpack. And I always sneakily hide a couple chomps in there.
- [42:58]
B
She does.
- [42:58]
A
I'll always have chomps in his backpack. And so then I go in his backpack and I'm like, oh, my God, there's chomps. Like, I am mother of cats. And so I start, like, biting off, like, little pieces for them because it's hard to rip a chomps. You really need your teeth, by the way. And so I'm biting a piece off and, you know, putting it on the ground for them. And, like, they're like smaller sized kittens because they were starving. They're not large, and so they have small little mouths and they're having a really hard time eating it. And these motherfuckers were pissing me off because they're, like, basically trying to rush me to get into this atv. And granted the sun was setting and it was time to go, but I don't give a fuck, okay?
- [43:35]
B
You're like, I paid for this.
- [43:36]
A
Like, I'm gonna do what I want to do.
- [43:37]
B
If I want to spend 45 minutes feeding these cats, like, that's what's gonna happen. Yeah.
- [43:41]
A
And so they're like, they don't like it. They don't like it. And I'm like, yes, they do. Did they tell you they don't like it? No, I don't think so. And so then I'm like, okay, maybe I need to, like, baby bird it and, like, chew it up a couple times and soften it for them. And they went crazy for that. That was a hit. It was a hit. And so then I started, like, picking up the ones that I had already bit off that weren't doing.
- [44:05]
B
Thrown on the ground.
- [44:06]
A
Okay, Tyler. Anyway, they. Yes, they were on the ground. Okay. Yes, yes. And I was picking up ones off the ground and chewing them up and giving them to the cats. And they thought I was, like. Like this crazy American woman. And I am. And I am.
- [44:19]
B
Who cares about animals?
- [44:20]
A
Yeah. And I'd do it again. And so I feed them approximately three chomp sticks. And they loved it. If you guys saw the video. It's so funny. And so I feed them all these chomps, and then we get on the atv, which was lame.
- [44:35]
B
Yeah. They literally went, like. I could have gone faster in one of those, like, children's electric Jeep things.
- [44:40]
A
That you buy them, like the one Cyrus has. Yeah.
- [44:42]
B
I swear to God, I would go faster in that than can. He was like, it's because it's night time. You can't go fast at night. I'm like. I can see, like, there are giant headlights on here. I'm not afraid.
- [44:51]
A
And then they had gazelles, and they said, the Prince of Dubai owns the gazelles, and if you, like, touch them, he'll, like, behead you.
- [44:57]
B
Yeah. And then we went sandboarding that night. But literally, it was so anticlimactic.
- [45:03]
A
It was so slow.
- [45:04]
B
It was like. And we could not make it go faster.
- [45:06]
A
Like, it was, like, slow, and I thought it was badass until the second day. And then I was like, oh, you guys. Fun fucking fact. Not only am I Cat Whisperer, I'm really good at sandboarding. Who would have thunk it? Like, who would have thunk it? And, like, that is the secret hidden talent. I thought I was gonna, like, eat, and I just. I don't know. Maybe I was a sandboarder in my past life.
- [45:34]
B
And then we go to bed.
- [45:36]
A
Oh, wait, we go that night, we have our little date. We had our little date. We constantly keep booking private dinners, and they end up being so romantic. And it's just.
- [45:48]
B
This one was less romantic.
- [45:50]
A
Two best friends in a hot tub sitting close together. But they're not gay.
- [45:54]
B
But they are. But our one is. But.
- [45:58]
A
And it's so romantic. It's so pretty. You see the moon, and, like, they're playing, like, all of this, like, Arabic traditional music. And then all of a sudden, like, the vibes change and they're playing, like, some, like, weird American, like, covers. It was just so funny. And we're smoking shisha, and this moon is shining. And then we go back to the hotel, and then we get kind of ready. I was, like, covered in dust. And then we go eat with Candace, and we had, like, three drinks. Okay, so first of all, we thought it was, like, alcohol was outlawed in Dubai because that's kind of what they told us, that you really can't get it at certain places unless you're in a western hotel. I don't know. A lot of people DM'd me and were like, that's not true. And I don't know. We were.
- [46:41]
B
Even though locals were telling us that.
- [46:43]
A
I don't know. That's just. That's just what I heard. And so anyways, we have three drinks with Candace. We eat a little bit of food. It was good. We ordered this, like, dessert platter. We could talk some tea, you know.
- [46:56]
B
Then halfway. Or like, we literally had eaten, like, 40% of this dessert thing platter. Oh, my God.
- [47:03]
A
I forgot about this.
- [47:04]
B
This random man comes up and is like. Like, oh, my gosh. Can I take a picture, you guys?
- [47:09]
A
It's, like, melted.
- [47:10]
B
It's like. It looks disgusting.
- [47:12]
A
Like, it's been sitting there for, like, 30 minutes untouched.
- [47:15]
B
I hope you're watching the video, because, like, he. For the next four minutes, he's sitting there, like, just taking. And we're sitting there looking like. We thought he was just gonna, like, grab a quick peg.
- [47:28]
A
It's something about being with Candace that men just come to our table.
- [47:31]
B
Yeah, that's true.
- [47:32]
A
I mean, I really don't know what it is. And so then we're like, okay, we have to pee. And I go down, and I'm, like, walking through. What?
- [47:41]
B
Wait. First of all, we felt like we were loitering at this place because, like, it is a ghost town. They closed at, like, midnight or something like that. And so we thought, like, no one else was. We were on the second story of this restaurant. No one was there. It was silent. And so we felt like, oh, my gosh. We're, like, really loitering here. Like, we should probably go now. Continue.
- [48:03]
A
So I'm like, candace has to pee so bad. I have to pee so bad. It's, like, empty. We go downstairs. It's a fucking club, okay? It's like sardines back to back. So many people, like, dancing, and, like, they have this guy on the drums, and, like, it's, like, fucking lit. Okay? So Candace and I are, like, God damn it. How are we gonna get to this bathroom? So, you know, we do the little hook our arms together and we start making our way through this crowd. And this first guy is like, what are you doing here so fine all alone. And then this other guy was like, I haven't seen someone as pretty as you in this place in a long time. And then another guy's like, what are you doing tonight? And another one. I mean, it's just like I literally got hit on 17 times in three minutes. And honestly, if my self esteem is ever bad, I will go back there and just take a little the walk through to the bathroom and I would feel better about myself. So then we go to the bathroom and then we go out and we go home. And then the next morning we go to brunch in the Burj Khalifa, which was so pretty, so beautiful. And like, this is when Tyler and I started getting, like really fucking sad. And we're like, we're leaving tomorrow. Like, fuck our lives.
- [49:09]
B
Like, because Candace had just gotten there. Like, she hopped off the flight and went to dinner with us. And so we were missing her. Yeah, we were like, she's there for.
- [49:18]
A
A different work thing. Which is just so random that we were there at the same time. But I love Candace. She's like just such a down, genuine person and she's an inspiration to all of us. I mean, she's just a bad bitch. And so then we go with Factor 5 team to do a second thing.
- [49:38]
B
Desert tour.
- [49:38]
A
Yes, we do everything again, but ten times better.
- [49:41]
B
Yeah, so like, we literally did the exact same itinerary. This one wasn't private, which honestly was cool. I think it. I think the non private one is fun to do in a big group because we had like our own table, you know what I mean? But if we had just done it with just the two of us. Yeah, but it was like every experience. The dune bugging, the sandboarding, the camels. No, the camels were better too.
- [50:03]
A
It was like a two second thing, but.
- [50:04]
B
Yeah, but like, it didn't feel as. Yeah, they were happy camels.
- [50:07]
A
They were happy.
- [50:08]
B
So, like, everything was like 400 times better. Like, we went probably like 40 miles, 50 miles per hour on these dune buggies. Like, I was gassing it and the guy was getting mad because, like, I would put like 200ft between me and them because you're supposed to stay in a line and stay close together.
- [50:25]
A
So much dust on me, guys. Like, I had literal dust in my vagina and I wore a skirt, which was not smart. I probably still have sand in my puss.
- [50:34]
B
But you looked slay.
- [50:35]
A
I did.
- [50:36]
B
And Savannah was the best sandboarder there.
- [50:41]
A
Out of all these men.
- [50:42]
B
Yeah, I tried to do it. Savannah went, like, four times.
- [50:46]
A
I loved it.
- [50:47]
B
And I did it the first time.
- [50:49]
A
Impressed with me.
- [50:50]
B
I did it the first time. I ate shit. I fell forward, my shirt went up. The sand hurt me. And I was like, I'm done. That was like, me. Like, when I was a kid, my parents were setting me up for karate. I got hit in the face one time, and I was like, no, this I'm never doing anyone.
- [51:03]
A
I love sandboarding. And then I, like, taught John, the CEO of Factor 5, how to sandboard. I was like, engage your core. Straighten your front leg. And he, like, finally got it. Cause he was like, we're not leaving until I can get, like, one good run. And so I felt pretty cool.
- [51:16]
B
Yeah, he does like, jujitsu.
- [51:18]
A
Well, the thing is. And the thing that I hate is, like, everyone sees me and they think I'm, like, this, like, bougie, prissy, prissy little bitch. You know, when it can't get, like, I'm like, this influencer. Like, you know, like, slay dressed to the nines, but, like, there is a different side of me that also is a down bitch. And so, you know, you lived in the wilderness. I lived in the wilderness. They were shooketh by that story, mom.
- [51:43]
B
As a ranch girly.
- [51:44]
A
My mom, honestly, is probably why I'm so, so cool. She grew up riding motorcycles, dirt bikes. Like, I am a down. And one thing about me is, like, I like to have a good time. I'm gonna try everything and do everything I can. And so I think everyone just. That's why it was so cool, is because nobody expected me to be the one to be awesome at this.
- [52:04]
B
Because everyone fell.
- [52:05]
A
Everyone fell.
- [52:05]
B
Besides Savannah. Savannah was, like, the only one.
- [52:08]
A
And then I told them the whole lore of wilderness, and he was like, I gained so much respect for you. Like, you're actually cool. His words, not mine. And then we just packed, packed up. And then I didn't have a going home outfit because somehow that didn't get packed. And then Tyler had to go to Zara because I'm, like, showered, naked, not getting up. Tyler is, like, fine. He has to go get me a new suitcase.
- [52:34]
B
Luckily.
- [52:35]
A
Where is my suitcase? Have you seen that?
- [52:37]
B
Yes. Luckily. Every store in Dubai. It does not matter what it is. Hermes, Van Cleef, Zara, anything. It closes at midnight, which is so awesome and weird. The amount of times I've like needed an outfit late at night and it's like, oh, they close it.
- [52:52]
A
How many times do you need an outfit late at night?
- [52:54]
B
Sometimes, you know.
- [52:55]
A
Okay.
- [52:56]
B
Because like, you know, like if your flight leaves the next morning at 7am.
- [53:02]
A
You don't do the Savannah Bota method where I buy, I just slowly buy things. Six months.
- [53:06]
B
No, no. I'm like packing for a trip the night before and I'm like, shit, I need like this color pants.
- [53:12]
A
Makes sense.
- [53:12]
B
If you live in Dubai, you're fine. You can go to the mall. They don't close for another two hours at 10pm that's true. So I go there, I get the sets, and then we figure out we need another suitcase because I could have fit everything. But I'm telling you, I probably would have broke her suitcases if like one little fall would have snapped open. Like I. She heard me. She was in the bathroom getting unready and I'm sitting there heaving from Jenny Coolas.
- [53:39]
A
I've never heard such. How heavy breathing. Like it literally sounded like you were doing weightlifting.
- [53:43]
B
Because I was like, like body slamming the suitcase. Like, like laying on it, pushing down. It was a struggle.
- [53:50]
A
It was a whole thing.
- [53:51]
B
And so we were like, we just need to get another suitcase. So I went. And the guy was like, oh, we get. Because I granted, it was like 11:45.
- [53:58]
A
You're one of those motherfuckers.
- [53:59]
B
Yeah. Who walked in 15 minutes before close. And he's like, oh no. We get our suitcase. Like we get our stock shipments daily so we'll have more tomorrow. I was like, dude, our flight leaves. Like we have to leave at 5:30 in the morning, please. He was like, I'm sorry. Like we sold out for the day. And I was like, you're a suitcase store. Like don't tell me that you don't have a single suitcase in the back. I was like, I don't care what color it is. I don't care what size it is. I was like, preferably it's a larger size, but. And what do you know? He comes out with the exact suitcase I was asking for. And it's like, was that that hard? Like I have a card in hand ready. Like I'm not trying to get you to sell me. Show me a bunch of things. Like I what I want and I do.
- [54:42]
A
So he ends up getting it coming back. And then I am like feasting in the room service.
- [54:48]
B
Yeah. I could walk in and there's like two meals.
- [54:52]
A
Yeah. And I had a really hard time sleeping too, because I couldn't garden. Garden. Yeah. So it was rough. And then we got up, we went to the airport. Everything went very smoothly. It was nothing much to write home about other than the fact that Tyler, we finally found the Dubai chocolate that everyone talks about. Finally.
- [55:13]
B
I need to check on that.
- [55:14]
A
Yeah. And Tyler fucking leaves it on our first flight. And then he ordered us new ones, so it's fine. And then what else?
- [55:22]
B
It's just really expensive here.
- [55:24]
A
I got two bags that I really like and love, and they were cheaper because Dubai. And then, yeah, we got home, and then the next morning, I had to fucking work. I got home at like, 9:00pm Mm. And then I had to work the next day because my boss is a fucking bitch. Didn't give me the day off. And then I've just been go, go, go since then. And that's the end of the Dubai story.
- [55:51]
B
We love you guys.
- [55:52]
A
We love you. And we'll see you next week. We're gonna have John, the CEO and founder of Factor 5, on, and we're really excited. Love you.
- [56:01]
B
Love you. Bye.
