B
We're on day three.
A
We're on day three.
B
That's right.
A
And we were like, today's our wellness day.
B
Yes. We. I mean, well, first of all, we had great flights and Bri and I, we were having a layover in Newark. So we were a little nervous to start the trip because we're like, oh, man, we're flying through Newark. It started off great. Then we got a little delayed and we were like, oh, no. But it all was great. And it was really cool because when we were boarding our flight Newark to Nice, all these incredible people were coming on and they were all. We were all sitting by each other, people with vibes. We all start chatting and everyone's like, yeah, we're headed to Cons and then to Monaco for F1. We're all in these conversations and then we all realize it's a group of like eight of us.
A
Eight of us. Yeah.
B
That we all are on. Headed to the Ritz Carlton yacht collection. And I mean, out of all the. It's a huge plane.
A
It was like a movie.
B
It was like a movie. And we picked our own seats. It wasn't through the Ritz Carlton collection. It. We all got our own flights and we booked our own seats. So we were just like, from the beginning, it just started off as like a new season of White Lotus. Brie and I were like, oh, my gosh, this is how it starts. And like, we already could like, tell all the different characters, but one of the. The people who are sitting by us, who I know you all probably know, I just got introduced to him and I did not realize how over he is. He is the number one food influencer in the United States on TikTok, incredible Instagram account. But his name's Jack Goldberg. He's known as.
A
His thing is Jack's dining room.
B
Yes. Which he does. He has the most incredible food videos. Because then I had to do my research. He wears that really cool hat that says yes Chef. And so we've, we got to know Jack really well on the flight and like since this trip. But so that's who was sitting with us and his business partner Liam. They were so cool.
A
But then what about the woman behind you who's also on the ship with us, but she does bodybuilding and wine.
B
Yeah. She literally just put out her first event which was bodybuilding and wine and she's in incredible shape. She used to be a bodybuilder. Now she just teaches you how to sculpt your body. And I was watching her videos and I was like, well, now I don't want to drink on this trip. But she was amazing. So we chatted forever and it was just like all these cool people, like literally White Lotus, the French Riviera edition.
A
That's what every time we all see each other, we keep saying that.
B
We do keep saying that because we'll be more and more people. Like this is just would be insane.
A
We really need to think of a good social reel. Like with White Lotus we can show all the characters we're talking about.
B
Yes.
A
So everyone can put like a face to the names that we'll be talking about.
B
I agree. So this experience though, so far, I mean, first of all, walking up to the yacht. I've never been on a yacht before either. This is my first time walking up to this yacht. It was just incredible. I was already like, oh, okay. I could turn around and go home. Now just looking at it and just the check in process, you just feel so cool and special and it's really neat because on this specific yacht there's just a lot of different things that have been curated for this trip. And it's just a dream. Like you have Nikki's beach doing something. You have Delilah's doing something. All these incredible brands, Imperial Motos, like doing all of the coffee, which is incredible coffee.
A
I mean people's fashion, I mean everywhere.
B
You look, the fashion is just iconic. So you check in and you can have some macaroons if you want the greet you with. Now it's going to be one of my favorite drinks.
A
What Spritz It's a lemon cello spritz.
B
Lemon cello spritz. I'm not a big lemon cello fan. Like, I'll do it when I'm in Italy. You know, they. It's good for your tummy after. Right? But I'm. I'm not big with limoncello, but let me tell you, the lemon cello spritz and I think they had a little.
A
Lavender thrown in there. Like a nice, real lavender thrown in there.
B
Yeah, it was just gorgeous. I was trying to take so much footage for you guys. But like, I'm also, as you know, we just like live in the moment. So I'm just was like, bre, we need to get more so we could share this. But it was just so incredible. And then we get to our rooms and it's just the gifts, the, the decor, the detail to everything, the spa, the decks. I. I've just been blown away. All the restaurants, our personal concierge year.
A
I mean, Guy, I mean, it's crazy. He does everything for us. It was today. I literally asked him, I go, are you like, do you do stuff? And he's like, yes. He's like. Cuz I was going to go walk up my stuff to get pressed and he's like, no, I do that. And I go, so I just call you and you just do this. And he's like, I do everything. And I just kind of like, I'm.
B
Just like, what this? It's been to the nights. Like, I'm honestly living in my Princess Grace Kelly era right now because we're totally being treated like queens. You feel like a royal. I'm like, this is what it must feel like. And I, you know me, I'm scared of heights, so. Oh, do you guys hear them? Well, look at. Oh, shoot.
A
I mean, that looks like one of Buddy's cars he plays with at home.
B
I mean, I was showing Mateo when the race was in Miami and he couldn't believe they were real life. What is that? Is that a McLaren?
A
Looks like it, yeah. Wow.
B
I mean, it. It's so wild to see these in person, you guys. Brie and I have so many pinch me moments. This just does not feel like real life. Let's do just a little cheers.
A
Cheers to that. That was pretty.
B

A
Well, we're talking about the boat. And you know, it's interesting, Nikki, because.
B
I don't think they like you referring to it as a boat.
A
A yacht. I know. I always.
B
Thank you, girl. They don't like. You know, you don't call it a ship. You don't call it a boat. It's a. Yeah.
A
And I've called it all of it.
B
Yeah.
A
But what's incredible to me is the last time we were. We did some. We were. We did a cruise when we were 18. So what is that, 23 years ago?
B
Yeah.
A
So I've never been on a yacht. And so I was really interested to see, like, what is it like? I don't know. I had something different. But you do feel like you're in a hotel.
B
It's totally. You forget you're on water. So it rocks a bit.
A
So rocks a bit.
B
But when we were docked. When we were docked, I just felt like I was in a very fancy hotel.
A
Right.
B
Yes. It was incredible with the best backdrops. Because you're on the water. Right.
A
And now I guess I. I get it.
B
Yeah.
A
I get why people love going on cruises, why they love being on yachts. The feeling is pretty spectacular.
B
And the service.
A
Service.
B
And the chefs. I mean, there's so much now, the one thing. Night one, Everyone understood the assignment of the mood board.
A
Yeah.
B
Night one, it was the gold party to kick off us being in the French Riviera. And let me tell you, people were rocking their gold outfits. We were dancing, like, we were just back in the club. And it was just magical. And you'd go on the deck and you just be underneath the stars. But all the gold outfits, and I got to say, Bri, you were up there, girl.
A
Oh, my God.
B
If they were going to rank, you would be up in the top five for sure. I mean, the gold you brought.
A
Wait, you wouldn't put me at number one.
B
I'm sorry. That one woman in that gorgeous gold dress that, like, opened up and as she walked, it just, like, flowed behind her. She's number one.
A
Oh, my gosh. So the number two.
B
Yeah. You know, I put you number two. There was one woman who had, like, four full gold sparkles. Did you see that long one?
A
Yeah. But you don't, like, maybe put her at three. You gotta put your.
B
Okay, fine. You're a two. She'd be at three.
A
Thank you. Mine really set it off.
B
You're. No. Okay, so I'll put you at number two. I. Everyone was coming up and telling you how great you look.
A
I felt really great that night.
B
Mine was great. But I thought it. The gold would have popped a little more. It was. It was a beautiful, gorgeous self portrait dress that had, like, lace in the middle. It may. It was just really nice.
A
Gold buttons. Yeah.
B
Very French vibes. But the back of it was black with, like, gold dots everywhere and gold buttons. And the gold just didn't pop as much as when you're around Everyone else who was wearing a lot of gold.
A
I mean, I look like a Golden Globe.
B
You did, But I loved it. I loved how everyone was, like, just in their gold. And we're all excited because, you know, night one, anywhere you go, whether it's a wedding weekend, it's. What? Starting a girls trip, a guy's trip, night one, is always just epic. Right? And you always usually go a little too big because you're just excited. We didn't. We are, actually.
A
We should do mood boards for our girls trip now.
B
I agree. Because it sets a tone, and everyone's so excited. And they have live music on the yacht. And so the live music has just been so incredible and a variety of music. And, I mean, there's a saxophone player on there that, like, all the women are loving.
A
I been.
B
I mean, they all were, like, on the dance floor, like, saxophone, man.
A
I mean, he was playing that saxophone like he was making love to a woman.
B
I felt so bad, though. He came over by the. One of the tables that everyone had their drinks on. He came over and was, like, in, like, doing his thing. And as he did, like, this turn. You know how saxophone players will kind of, like, turn, like, left to right. He knocked over every single drink on the table. And I was like, I almost wish I was filming, because it would have been epic and slow. Slow mo. But I felt bad for him. I know, right? Like. And just, like, glass goes flying.
A
Oh, my gosh.
B
And I felt bad for him because the one thing I will give him is he didn't stop playing. And he's like, oh. And you could see on his face, but he's still blowing. And it was, like, good for you. But I could see in his face that he's, like, dying. And I was dying for him, because I go, that sucks. You know what I mean?
A
We get really embarrassed when people are embarrassed.
B
I get embarrassed. I feel their embarrassment.
A
Yeah.
B
You know? Oh, my gosh. We're gonna have another.
A
Is there another?
B
We might have to pause again, you guys, for incredible.
A

A
Oh, look it.
B
Oh, yes. Look at that.

A
Yeah, we have to. Cheers again.
B
This feels like a dream.
A
Who thinks Nikki's gonna be drunk at the end of this podcast?
B
Probably, but that's fun. So I will say back to the Yacht. Back to the yacht. Back to night one. A lot of gorgeous people. I know that I told you all I wanted a fling. Now I've met people that it's just more fun, like nothing more than there.
A
Is a guy I want her to kind of have a fling with, but she won't.
B
No, it's. I like the friend stuff. I like to just hang out. We're all having. I don't want things to get weird.
A
I should do a poll in our Instagram stories and see if people agree that you should add a fling with this guy.
B
There's. I will say again, there's a few really good looking men. There's a lot of great looking men, actually. But yeah, there's, you know, a single one that's very handsome.
A
She's just in my bed every night.
B
Okay. I was in your bed night one.
A
I know.
B
So let's move to day two. And we woke up feeling great. Day two, actually.
A
But you and I, because, you know, we slept really hard for a very long time.
B
Yes, we saw. And yes, I did sleep in Bree's bed. Whatever.
A
She always gets scared the first night.
B
I don't. I was just. I sleep better when she's right there. Yeah, I don't even. I wasn't even scared. I just knew I'd sleep better.
A
Well, it was funny because when we were napping, which we were in our own rooms.
B
Yeah.
A
And you know, you have to watch this nine minute video that preps you on, like, safety of the boat, but when I heard the beep, beep, beep, I, like, jumped out of my bed. Oh, let's see. What's the other? Oh, those are motorcycles. I jumped out of the bed. And you remember, I text you. I go, is that for employee or is that emergency? Because I kind of forgot and I was in such a deep sleep. And I was, like sleeping naked too, so I jumped and I threw on my clothes because I'm like, do I have to run to the fourth floor?
B
I feel bad. They peek their head in. I go, just. Just bring them in when they come. And he's like, oh, my gosh. Yeah, luggage. Sorry. I'm like, just bring in the luggage when they come. Because I'm like, I can't get out of bed. And I was naked in bed sleeping. But I go, I even said to him, I go, I trust you.
A
Oh, gosh.
B
I know. But when I woke up, all through, all my luggage was right there. Three pieces that Bre's been making fun of me for.
A
But you had the Most luggage out of anybody.
B
Okay, you guys, if you're gonna count the carry on, sure.
A
You had three, Everyone had two, and some people won.
B
Okay, well, if you googled the weather, I'm like, we're either gonna hit rain or it's gonna be super sunny, and I need to have my layers packed. And it said bring layers, so I don't know how people packed layers with only two bags with shoes and. And also, one of my bags was strictly for, like, cosmetics and stuff, stuff like that. And I don't like it mixing with my clothes in case something breaks, which a foundation broke and got everywhere. So anyways, she's been giving me a lot of.
A
I can't wait to see all the outfits you don't wear.
B
Oh, I did bring backups because, you know, sometimes I get, like, super bloated. So then I'm like, well, then that option's off the table. Or sometimes I'm feeling really good, so then the options back on the table. Always have to have options. I've been bloated this whole SO day. It feels so good to be back outside and to have these long days with the out.

B
Day two. Bri and I, we were so excited because we've been dying to go to this place place for so long. Lagarit. It's an iconic restaurant that's on an island off of Cons. And it's. It's where you will see all the videos that go viral where people are, like, standing on chairs, dancing and, like, waving like white napkins. Or one went viral because someone ordered how many bottles of Dom and they brought it out. You have to see this video. 20 bottles of Dom Pee. And then certain countries, if you're from a country, you'll order a big bottle. Like, you have to get a Magnum or even bigger. Some of them look bigger than Magnums. I don't even know what size that's called, but they come out and it's really cool because the. The service people there, they get into, like, jerseys or, like, wave your flag and they'll play, like, music. It is. It is such a moment. And you are like, I'm for sure on an island. I'm. And you're just with all these different people partying, dancing, and then also eating incredible food. They brought, like, the fish to the table, and they were like, yeah, this was just caught this morning.
A
I know.
B
Of course they want to breeze side.
A
I was like, why did they bring them in the head? So I, like, was glancing over my shoulder and, like, we were making eye contact. The fish.
B
And I know.
A
I mean, I could not stop looking at the eyes because I was like.
B
And it was a beautiful fish.
A
I know a sea bass.
B
Wow. You could just tell it, like, lives in great water. It had a really pretty color, too.
A
It. It did. And I was, like, plump looking at the fish, and I'm like, you were alive early this morning having a nice swim.
B
I know. When they brought it right to Bria, I was like, wrong girl.
A
Like, wrong girl to bring it. Fine. I get it.
B
Literally, they put a truffle pizza down onto the table, and the wind, like, there was a Breeze. And I was just getting with fresh truffle. My nose truffle. I was just like, this is so incredible. We've made it. That's the vibe it gives me. I know.
A
But you know what was sad for me a little bit is how strict I have.
B
You bring sad.
A
Because I have to be so strict right now with gluten and dairy because of all my testing.
B
Yeah.
A
That I didn't even get to eat the pizza. You know how I was just staring at it, like, visualizing.
B
Oh, yeah.
A
What it would taste like in my mouth?
B
Oh, yeah. Well, it tasted good, so I had some for you. I definitely had some gluten and a tiny bit of dairy. But you know me with dairy. But that truffle pizza was probably the best pizza I've ever had.
A
I mean, it looked it.
B
It was insane.
A
Everything, like, was perfectly melted and dripping.
B
Everything was so good. And of course, we had to start with Aperol spritz, and then we moved to Rose, because that's what you do when you're in France.
A
That whispering angel.
B
The whispering angel.
A
Can't get anything else better.
B
No. But then when things started to get wild, we were, like, doing tequila shots with the whispering angel. And I'm like, in the moment, you think it's an amazing idea, and I'm the worst shot taker. And I was, like, taking so much full ones.
A
I only.
B
No, I always.
A
I would only do a sip. I know, but you get pretty insulted. I was like, then stop handing me shots.
B
I saw you throw a shot over your shoulder that landed right on my phone. And I'm like, awesome. My phone's sitting in tequila. And I wanted to tell you. Everyone just saw you do that.
A
I know, but I was drawing you.
B
Didn'T even make it obvious. You're like, oh. And then you just go like that. And I look down, and I'm like, she just tossed that on my phone.
A
But how great for me that I didn't consume the calories or that. I mean, I already had a hangover this morning, so that would have just.
B
Made it worse to have more tequila.
A
And I.
B
You know what?
A
After that, because I noticed everyone did see me do that. No one handed me a shot after that. So I was like, perfect. Good for me.
B
Good for you.
A
Yay for me.
B
Well, I could have been. You know, I could have said no, but I was. I was having so much fun. Like, why not? Like, when am I ever going to be here? Just going to live it up. So then, you guys, a storm is about to hit. By the way, I mean, I don't know if, like, because we're farmer girls or wet, but I. I felt fine. Yeah. Like, there's Don Pee in the back and a chef. We're good.
A
And, like, a rule, like, kind of castle.
B
Yeah. Like, yeah, we're good. A lot of strong men around. Like, they know the sea or the ocean, right? Strong women. Like, we're gonna be okay. People started running to the docks. It was like Hunger Game moments. Like, survival of the fittest. And I'm like, what is happening? And everyone's like, the storm is coming. I'm like, what?
A
But what was so weird to me is it all happened at once. Everyone just ran.
B
Talk about being on the height of your buzz and then going, what? Why are.
A
And we're watching the waiters going, like, to some people, like, pay your bill.
B
Pay your.
A
And I'm like, what? Like, I'm looking. I'm like, it's raining. Yeah, there's lightning. But, like.
B
But it never felt bad. No, like, but then there were so many people on this historic dock that they were like, you guys have to get off the dock. Like, you're going, it's gonna break.
A
And that's when I went back up, because I go, I'm not about.
B
No Brie. And I ended up going to the bathroom. We were the last people actually to walk over to the other dock. They actually came to us, and they go, oh, you too. Like, you guys need to move over. And I go, I felt bad. The door's open. I'm literally looking at the guy, and I go, I can't stop peeing. And he goes, can she stop? And I go, I'm sorry. I've held it for so long. I. I forgot about that for a moment till now. Do you remember that?
A
It's like, girls. Yeah.
B
And you're like, she's still going. And I'm like, and you have the door open. I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm still going. And that's when I left my sunglasses.
A
I mean, but I love my sunglasses.
B
But don't worry. I washed my hands. And then a knight in shining armor from Great Britain just walks up and is like, oh. I mean, I can't do the voice, but, like, voice. Gladiator voice. Like, oh, take. I can't even do it. I want to try, but I. I'll take you. No, not at all. That sounds like Peewee Herman. No, but anyways, he comes out, like, the gladiator, pretty much. Or like, someone from Game of Thrones. Super cute. That deep, strong British accent. You know what I mean? Where they're supposed to be in movies when they talk like that.
A
Yeah.
B
And he's like, I'll get you across to the other dock. Because I was, of course, showed up in tall wedges when everyone else is in sandals.
A
I was in big wedges, too.
B
I mean, I fell so many times. He caught me every time. My feet still hurt, but he held my hand, and it was like, to.
A
The other side of the. The mountain.
B
I did those in those wedges.
A
I know. Me too. The whole way, I had the deepest conversation. I mean, this is the best about drunk people. Like, yeah, you never know where your conversations go. And I literally was in a therapy session having the deepest talk with someone in the storm, trying to get to a boat. Like, it was wild.
B
It was wild.
A
But my hair.
B
Oh, you guys. By the way, did you peek and see their gardens that were, like, in the crevice of the mountains?
A
Were those not gorgeous?
B
Those were gorgeous. So I want to know who lives there, because those gardens, like, looked fresh.
A
Well, yeah, but no one has to live there, I think. I mean, the restaurant's open, like, every day, right? So they probably take care of it. That's probably where they get their food.
B
Oh, that's probably where they get their food. I didn't think. That's what I thought.
A
I mean, but you know what I mean?
B
Kind of castle in there, but someone lives there.
A
I didn't get to dye my gray hair before it came. Oh, but you know, like, the powder. The wow. Powder. Oh, yeah.
B
Did you bring yours?
A
I need a borrow. Yes, but did you. So, girl covered the gray, but because it was raining, it, like, dripped off. And then, like, I remember when you were using the bathroom, I was looking there, and I go, oh. And, like, all my gray was showing. I'm like, damn it.
B
Well, the young British guy kept taking selfies of us. And you know when you're drunk and taking selfies, and I could already tell, like, oh, these are hideous to me. Like, can we just not take selfies in this moment? Even on the boat, he kept taking selfies. I'm like, no. Like, you know, But I mean, I don't care. Whatever. But I can only imagine, because, I.
A
Mean, geez Louise, I took selfies of myself on the boat. And then when I looked at him this morning, I was like, delete, delete, delete.
B
I will say it was fun to be hit on by a young, hot British man. So that was nice. That made me feel great.
A
That's good.
B
It might have been the Veronica Beer dress. That dress was killer. I'm not gonna lie. I. I got a lot of compliments on it.
A
And your butt looked good in it.
B
My butt looked good in it. Even I thought my breasts to my waist look good in it. I even had a gentleman pull me inside and goes, I have to. For my wife. Where did you buy that? Oh, yeah.
A
Wow.
B
I know. And thanks. Bri told me.
A
I told her to get it. It wasn't her style.

A
I mean, that's what I'm.
B
But they don't have motors. Anyways, it drove us back.
A
Sailboats, I think do have motors.
B
Oh, oh, wait, no. I think they just have things that shift them left to right.
A
Like those big ones. You're telling me people get on those big cell boats and there's no motor?
B
I feel like the catamaran in Lake Tahoe didn't have a motor. It just. They move like a big paddle thing.
A
Well, you know, I'm gonna have to do some research when I get back to my hotel room, honestly, because I, I. Yeah, I'm. Now I'm very interested.

A
So we're smashing food. As we FaceTimed him.
B
I think we smashed food first and then FaceTime. Cuz we were laying on the bed and that's when we were deciding, do we want to go to the burlesque party? I mean, we did get very cute dresses for it. We were following the mood board, right? And then Bri goes, no, we have to. And I'm like, okay, let's just do it. So we go down, we get dressed up, we go down, have espresso martinis. I think that's also like, why I Couldn't sleep. You don't remember the espresso martini?
