This week we get into how we pack and prepare for trips, why being out and about in New York feels so different from life in Los Angeles, and our ongoing mission to get out of the house more.
We also talk about Vic surprising Doni, love languages, and why missing each other might actually be a good thing. Basically, a very random episode filled with travel thoughts, relationship realizations, and a reminder that we probably need more friends.

try it they start putting it on everything egg sandwiches fries burgers chefs use it
restaurants use it people who really care about flavor use it put it on just about anything then

that i can't really say what it is yet but you guys will just have to wait a few months but she
came to me as my plus one and it was so fun she flew first class she loved it now it's gonna be
hard going back for her like once you experience a little luxury oh it's hard
it is and it's just been so fun speaking of i need to see my shiloh bear it's been a while since i've
seen him yeah how is it for you having alexia gone to nashville you know it's really hard but
i'm trying to i try not to think about it because i feel like they'll come back a lot do you tell
the pod that they left i don't know if i told the pod i think i only told the vlog but basically
my sister obviously we were born and raised here and i'm trying to think about it because i feel
in california and she recently just moved with my nieces and her husband to nashville
and it's been quite the adjustment i know of not seeing them every day and they had sold their
house and they had an overlap of when they sold their house and when their new like mortgage or
like whatever they bought their house when it went through in nashville so they were staying
here for like three weeks so i got to see the babies every day you know it was amazing
amazing also really hard combining our schedules and the baby's schedules
under one roof but i miss them and it's sad yeah are they coming back soon um i think she said end
of august so that'll be oh yeah it's a while four months we should go to nashville i've never been
what with what time girl i don't know we'll find some time and euphoria are you watching it i
saw it i saw it i know he died i saw yeah i saw that too on tiktok but then i saw that episode
he was giving me a lot of anxiety that's why i couldn't sleep him being trapped you'll see he's
like he's like in the coffin or something but he's underground and he can't get out in like a little
coffin like that's like my one of my biggest nightmares yeah i would just like and do have
no sanics around no so like so like it's you your thoughts and until you like until you like lose
air and or dehydrated
because he's like there's a hole that's open and he can yell to the top and but he's obviously no
one hears him there's like a little top oh so they gave him air so he died of starvation and
dehydration no i'm not gonna tell you how he dies you need to watch it anyway i'm gonna watch it
tonight have you started off campus yes i love it i love it so much actually no no no no it took me
back to college and like did i do it right i mean i didn't go i know but like oh my god
like it's just so obviously it was written by a woman for a woman yeah because that character
does not exist yeah yeah yeah right i think so i don't i don't think yeah what episode are you on
i'm on five i finished like in one sitting i couldn't you did well i'm waiting for gm me and
my cousin's staying with me because she stays with me during the summer when i travel a lot
so she could be with the kitties and she's staying with me and every night like we're trying to find a
time together to watch the show and it's some like last night i had to re-watch two episodes with her
so that we could watch the one that i hadn't seen see it's hard and then i realized that when i got
my better july v i thought i was totally fine watching it and i didn't remember anything a
whole episode victoria i don't like committing to people to watch i know i'm a single watcher
because now we go downstairs and we watch right put on our show and we like wait for each other
to watch it it's like a cute little i'm selfish activity i'm selfish when it comes to shows i'll
watch them when i want when i want like if he gets mad like we'll re-watch it but i'm just like i need
to finish it like if i'm super addicted i just can't stop and wait especially if the whole show
is out it's out yes have you started the dutton bethen yes obviously i haven't started that so
good too i like it did you see the crash i saw the crash i haven't seen it either she definitely did
it right i haven't seen it oh well she definitely did it i think it's hard to prove obviously because
i wasn't
never we'll never know we'll never know oh my god you guys we were watching off campus me and my
cousin and like she is 19 i'm 10 years older than her oh my god i'm 10 years older than her
anyways that's a lot so we're sitting there and obviously it's like it's not even just like the
sex scene if you watch the show this if you haven't watched the show this might give a little spoiler
it's not even the sex scene it is the scene where they're like fucking masturbating in front of each
other and we're
sitting there on the couch like not making eye contact and i can't tell if she's uncomfortable
or not watching this with me and i was like you know for me it's like i don't give a fuck to watch
it but i'm like i need to break the ice somehow so i'm like could you imagine filming this it's so
crazy and she like broke down and started laughing and was like we broke the ice but it was so funny
because i was like is she uncomfortable watching the sex scene with me or do you think she's fine
and then like the toe curl part we were like oh my god she's like she's like she's like she's like
we're dying like once i opened it up she was like because at first she was being so quiet
yeah and then once i made the joke she like started making comments about it like how funny it is i
was um speaking of the show please you followed the boys i saw well i follow them yes they both
have girlfriends it's not like that but i'm gonna follow soon but that's not even the point
the point is i'm watching the show and i'm i'm you know i'm a little high when i'm watching
the shows and you know what's happening to me a lot recently what
when i'm high like yesterday i was crying laughing because i'm like this act there are actors
everywhere they're just memorizing lines and i'm like and then but then i start to really like and
i'm like oh wait he's definitely trying to remember what he you know like let's say two people are
talking you're like clocking i'm like wait he's definitely thinking what he's gonna say next like
so everyone's just acting and when i remember that everyone's acting he just whatever i'm going to
no no no i don't know if i'm making any sense because i'm a little high now yeah
the one time i got high
I remember I put, not the one time, but what I remember
time i got hi i put vampire diaries on my favorite show of all time i can re-watch that show see
every episode and i'll still bawl my eyes out i put it on and i was like shocked i couldn't watch
it because i was like how are they filming this their actors like imagine going up to someone and
pretending like you're a vampire and biting their neck like i was i took me out of the show fully
i was like how are they doing this i would be so mortified and embarrassed like imagine i was like
action do it again and it's hard i couldn't watch the show i can't i i don't so i don't know how you
watch off campus high because that would be like no no it happened it didn't have it was like the
finale because i was traveling i started watching it before i left bulgaria so i watched the whole
plane ride the last two episodes i watched at home and that's when i smoked i couldn't do it
but off campus it happens for for example off campus i don't know that they're new actors
right yes so the fact that we don't know them it makes it easier exactly just like heater rivalries
all new people yeah it's harder when you like when you've seen them and you're like oh well
you've acted in this one thing i don't know when this it was making me spiral last night speaking
of weed people want to know what the weed i smoke oh yeah which i still need to try it's been i'm
just scared i would i would i wanted to do a giveaway but they told me
i was like i'm gonna get a package i don't think we can send weed right and if we're wrong comment
down below but i really don't think we can but my favorite is cbx yes i like this one called
cereal milk and that's what i smoke and i have lots of it at home so every time someone comes
like my the girl that does my nails i always send her home with a joint or two that's your
little gift from for visiting for vicky i have my joint and my side table you have an
open girl when was johnny's birthday the whole podcast knows february no january so it's been
five months since i've had this joint girl is it still good i don't know just check maybe it's
less strong if it's expired and that's good for me stars people want to know what shoes you were
wearing on your central park dump oh i was wearing my ripetto ballet flats victoria nice
oh well it wasn't me it was a fan that asked okay i have a pair of ripettos and they gave me crazy
blisters really that's what kylie because kylie gave me those ripettos because she was like they
give me blisters and they fit me great interesting they're really comfortable for me i wish maybe you
need a size down maybe because my because i think blisters when they're too when they're too when
it's big and it's rubbing oh so maybe you need a half size down okay next time i'm in paris i think
she needed a half size down that's what and they fit me good got it got it let's get into our new
york debrief let's do it gucci reached out to our teams and invited us to
the gucci cruise show we both got invited separately obviously it's so exciting when
that happens when we get that email on the that subject on the email inbox you freak out i freak
out she freaked out we both freaked out and then we like text each other in invisible ink like oh
my god i got invited to the show and she's like me too so then the excitement begins yes we start
planning outfits and our itinerary and our travel we want to be on the same flight but then we
weren't no we were yeah we were planning our you know sorry everything's getting
mushed in there literally i know we did okay anyway so we got invited we said yes we said yes
to the dress we said yes of course we said yes and then we started prepping for the trip which
is always a long process the way that me and vick prep for a trip is so stressful well you she
stresses me out to be honest no no you stress me out because i'm like let me know what you're
wearing so i can plan my outfits because i want to know like i love how vick styles herself so i'm
like i want to go on the vibe that she's going to go on so that we look like we're on the same vibe
together and so let me know what you're going to pack are you going to wear a dress are you going
to wear jeans like are we going dressier are we going more casual well stas usually gets a stylist
so she'll have fittings yes and then she'll send me photos by the end of the fitting but i am
i am the last minute she's like last i'll pack the night before and i'm just making out like an
hour before the screen in my room in my room is a mess and it's hard to like keep her updated until
i'm done
with everything and i'm like are you taking photos to show me what you're packing and i'm like hold
on like let me just finish but then she likes all my outfits yeah they're all so cute but then i i
have this girl megan that's helping me she's helping me pack sometimes when i leave town
is that crazy it's nice to have someone that's organized when you're not it's nice is she type
a she's super type a and she makes me like she made like i'm like i'm in the room putting on
putting on outfits throwing stuff and she's like catching things i'm packing them by outfits and
it makes it so much easier to travel like that because my brain packs really bad and it's nice
to have help sas she'll ask me like what are you wearing on the plane and i'm like girl i don't
know like i'm gonna decide tomorrow after a shower she's like at 3 a.m and i'm like yes and then if i
get to the airport with something that she doesn't have she'll be like what is this why didn't you
tell me you were bringing a blanket on the plane why didn't you tell me you and i'm like sorry
first tell us like i'm just you know i like to be planned like i lay i'm the type that lays my
outfit out the night before on the plane my travel bag is packed i have all the documents in my travel
bag my outfit my underwear my socks my shoes are underneath on my dresser ready for me to shower
and then put my outfit on and leave the house so are we bringing blankets because if she's gonna
have a blanket and deal with the weight of carrying an annoying blanket i'm also gonna do it because i
want to be cozy
as well but i don't want to have to be dealing with a blanket if she's not dealing with her
blanket lately those planes have been hot those planes have been hot but you know what vick did
and it's the best thing that it's ever happened to me the barefoot dreams poncho because you don't
have to carry the blanket you just wear the blanket wear it throw it over throw it over
put the hood on and then you're in a barefoot dreams cocoon on your flight it's the best
especially when the plane is cold yeah this one time victoria what did i do chose
the pod over like she was trying to choose the pods single solo pod over sitting next to me on
the plane always and i was like i did to my mom in bulgaria and i gave her a pot too i said experience
the single pod yeah it's just nicer even if you're traveling with someone else you just have more room
and if it's available why not yeah ain't that the truth sister especially if we're gonna be sleeping
or locked into our ipads that's one thing that i do and i cannot i cannot get on a flight with
without my ipad fully charged with a thousand options a thousand options series tv shows you
name it everything princess diaries lizzie mcguire movie inception like i have like a variety of
things downloaded so that in your mood when you're deciding like what you want to watch
you have the option noise canceling headphones oh i cannot donnie travels with the wired and i'm like
oh i travel with both no no i need them i need to because i hate the
on the plane that you can hear throughout the whole flight yeah yeah the engine the engine
i don't like i don't want to hear it so i just put those on earplugs i have to put earplugs when
i sleep on planes you do yep it makes a world difference wow i didn't know that a big cozy
eye mask the one from amazon that we have so good you need hand cream you get so dry up there
hand sanitizer lysol wipes then wipes i was doing them wipes but i kind of spray
like the sos yeah tower 28 something to get the eye patches yeah you name it we got it yeah yeah
oh we did travel bags are so damn heavy no we have everything everything you could imagine
um we did land in new york city and we took a shortcut home we took a helicopter from the airport
to like the landing strip to get to our hotel quicker because the traffic in new york city
when we landed was so terrible and we had to get to the airport and we had to get to the airport
had a chase car because you can't take luggage on the helicopter so the chase car got our luggage
and drove it to the hotel yes and me and victoria we checked in we had a full dinner and we were
leaving dinner and that's when our bags got there that's how much earlier like how much time we saved
helicoptering i feel like people don't a lot of people might not know about blade yeah i don't
know because everyone like that i talked to like my family like what do you mean i'm like it's a
helicopter uber yeah they i think the price is what's how much it's like 350 350 to to 400 or
something so it just depends i think businessmen use it a lot when they have yes there's always
there's always there's always a man with this uh always a man on that helicopter but it's so quick
you get in go up fly for like five minutes five minutes and then you land in the city it's really
right there they have two locations too so you can pick which location is closer to your hotel
obviously i always i've done it twice
only the expert this is matt rogers from lost culture east that's with matt rogers and bowen
yang this is bowen yang from lost culture east with matt rogers and bowen yang you know when
people try a new food and suddenly it's like wait that's the reaction a lot of people are having
when they first try cutie mayo it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle
you've probably seen it in the grocery store before and if you've ever just walked past it
some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is the best
is different most mayonnaise uses whole eggs cupi only uses egg yolks which gives it this rich
umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting
it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers. Some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it.
And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it. Restaurants use it.
People who really care about flavor use it. Never tried it? Grab the bottle with the red cap next
time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Kewpie, the
original Japanese mayonnaise. Getting to a great idea is hard in college. Nonsensical essays,
cringe-inducing presentations, and seemingly unsolvable problem sets. But then, the first
thought becomes the final thesis. Jumbled slides transform into a polished keynote, and that midterm
assignment gets a lot less mid. Because the road to great ideas is littered with bad ones. You just
have to keep going until something clicks. Great ideas start on Mac. Find out more on

Amazon Health AI presents Painful Thoughts.
Why did I search the internet for answers to my cold sore problem?

stages of ooze. I can clear my search history, but I can never unsee that.
Don't go down the rabbit hole. Amazon Health AI gets you the right care, fast. Health care,
just got less painful.

been perfect, beautiful weather. Not a cloud in the sky.
Yeah, I don't think it works if it's like I did it when it was a little windy once.
That's when he was choppy. We had to take a little break because we needed a nice cold
glass of wine to tell you about the rest of our festivities in New York. I love New York City.
I feel like it's so much more like I have. First of all, I care about looking cute. And I feel
like in LA, I just always wear what you see me in. I get excited about putting on cute outfits,
taking cute photos.
I'm just being out. I'm feeling like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. All you want
to do is have a martini outside. Here, all I want to do is smoke weed and go under my
sheets and turn in a movie and like hug myself like. Yeah, but when it's a warm summer night
here, we're not doing anything. It gives me some like when me and Aria went to that cute
little wine bar, Studio City, and we sat outside tank tops, warm summer night. Sun was sets
late and we got wine.
Wine tipsy. That gives me so much joy. We just don't do it anymore.
We're not doing anything. And I feel like there's so many cuter places.
Well, I'm just saying even that bar we had fun at.
I feel like we just have to leave the house. We don't leave the house.
How do we leave the house, you guys?
There's so many cute bars, like so many cute, even restaurants. Like what's that place that
we like? What's it called?
Oh, I don't know.
Think, think. You've been there. It's going to bother me because it's such a good restaurant.
Best restaurant. Hold on one second.
In Venice.
Dudley Market.
Dudley Market.
Dudley Market.
You guys, it's such a good restaurant in Venice. Cute vibes. What's it called? The organic
wine people like? Orange?
Orange wine.
Orange wine, lobster, you name it. Like it's so cute and it's by, it's on Venice. So it's
just like, it's a whole community out there.
That's what I want to do for my birthday.
Okay, perfect. Dudley Market dinner.
I want to go. I want to be day drunk in Venice all day.
We should go to RVR. It's a Japanese restaurant in Venice by this, from the former Jelena
chef.
Okay.
In Abu Dhabi.
What can you eat? Apparently it's like the cutest little place. Look how good that food
looks.
Like you're not liking that roll.
I'm not going to eat that roll, but I'm going to eat this. I'm going to eat the rest. Like
those yozas.
We're trying to figure out what to do for my birthday because I was supposed to be gone
for three weeks. We're leaving in two days. No, we're leaving in one day. We have one
more day before we leave.
Yeah, we don't have that much time.
And I was supposed to be gone for three whole weeks, but now I'm going to be gone for two
weeks and I come back for the three days.
Reset.
Reset.
Work out.
Of course.
Have my birthday in L.A. with my friends.
So much better.
And then leave again with Kylie and Victoria afterwards. So now that my birthday is happening
in L.A., I'm going back and forth on do I do the same thing that I've done, which is
like my birthday tradition of having it at the nice guy and inviting however many people
to come and have it be a bigger thing.
Or I could do another sort of room with cocktails and past food and like have it be a little
bit of a smaller crowd. Or I could just do a dinner or like Soho Malibu, like get day drunk
all day at Soho. Be fun. Like get the private area and then walk over to Nobu and have dinner
drunk.
I would say that's a cute idea. I just think we've got to get out more. We're not doing
much. We're always I'm too comfortable at home. But you know what? I pay so much for
rent. Like I want to spend I want to enjoy my home, my home. And I don't leave and I
like it. I'm such a homebody when I'm in the house.
The way I just caught that. I need that on video, by the way.
Get a clip that. But yeah, I just think we're going to get out more. And that's why I love
being busy and traveling is because I feel like I'm the most outgoing and social when
I'm out of town. I know. But why do you think that is? Because I feel the same. I think
I'm just tired when I'm home and I'm we're just overstimulated from everything and we
just want to be cozy and like lay in our bed. Yeah, we have our doggies, our pets. You have
your cats. Look at you giving me so much love. And like Donnie, my boyfriend doesn't go out
that much.
And I'm like, we're like young. We should be like I feel like people in Europe. They're
always, always out to dinner. Always. Everyone's always together. And I'm like, like even like
planning nights that are at each other's houses, like even not fully leaving, like we don't
do that anymore. I'm excited for our next trip and I'm excited to be in the sun. I'm
just relaxing. I wish I could bring my weed. We could never do that. But I wish, you know,
you know, when you wish you could bring your weed everywhere. Sad about loss. Sad about
loss.
The loss. The loss of the weed. The loss that it's against. Oh, the loss. The loss. I thought
you said sad about loss. Oh, no. It's like the loss of your weed. No, the loss. The loss.
I mean, loss. Loss. Loss. Please. I guess the reason why we're always home is because
it's hard to walk places where we live. Maybe like there's if I walk, I got to walk down
a hill for so long. Did you walk more when you lived in West Hollywood? I mean, I made
a little bit more. Yeah. Because I feel like when I lived in like the flatter side of the
hill, I walked more like I would walk to my Pilates class and I would walk to get coffee
and stuff like that. Yeah, you did. But now it's when you live like in the hill area.
Now we do a loop and we'll walk. Vic has a loop that she does around her neighborhood.
And I haven't found my loop yet, but my cousin has. But there's so many. I know she's going
to take me on the loop that she found. I mean, you can just explore. You'll find your loop.
Or just go down, turn around and go up. That's a loop. I haven't found my loop yet. Girl,
get out there.
What? What? Start walking. We've been out of town every week since I moved in. I know.
It's crazy now. It's really crazy. And that's maybe why I'm home is because I like to slow
down and be present because I always go, go, go, go. And it's been like that for us. And
also Donnie, too, has been go, go, go. And I feel like it's hard for us. That's why if
you saw my TikTok and if you haven't, that's OK. But we hadn't seen each other for like
10 days and he was coming home and I was like, we miss each other. Right. Like we were so
excited to see each other. And I was like, I want to make it special. So I made a whole
night. I had to cancel my movie night with the girls, with Kylie and Stas. And I said
girls. And then I made like a pasta amatriciana for Donnie. And then I filled the bathtub
with bubbles and petals and rose petals that people were like, that looks weird, but whatever.
They were dehydrated rose petals. And then the whole house, like upstairs, I was playing
like I was playing.
The Wuthering Heights soundtrack.
No, I changed it. It was too aggressive. I changed it into movies that make you feel
like you're falling in love. Instrumentals like it's such a good playlist. And I played
it. All candle lights upstairs. It was dark. All candle lights. The songs on Sonos playing.
I had an amazing outfit on. Cinematic movie scenes. So it's like. So he walked in all
dark. This music playing. Send me, please. I will. And then this is a. Oh, my God. I
would actually.
I'm not crying. He was.
Oh, my God. Was he crying?
He like got so tear. He was.
shocked i had the he's no it's crazy i had his favorite beer saporo i put it in the fridge when
he landed because he likes i'm gonna cry i know but it's okay it's coming it's coming oh my god
you're a lash lift i'm so cute but it gets cuter you want to hear more yeah
oh my god i don't think i've ever felt lonelier than just now
it's just
you
i know that's sorry i don't even want to send you this playlist okay so then i put the support
in the fridge and when he was like okay i'm 10 out seven out i was tracking him and then i went
downstairs i got the supports opened them went upstairs i told him when you walk in do not turn
a light on because that mother loves turn lights on and i hate bright lights my house is always
dimmed i just i like like cinematic lighting i like candle lit candle light like
pretty lighting like yellow like that comes and goes i don't like and he he can lay in a room with
like bright lights and i'm like so i said you're not allowed to turn a light on and he was like
okay okay then he walked in and he went upstairs and i was like sitting in the bed and i had the
two supports freezing cold and i had his favorite chocolate in the bed with a little note welcome
home baby the song's playing candle lit and he was like shocked his eyes were watery and he was
like this is so sweet and then i he's like okay i have to shower and then i took him to the bathroom
when he saw the tub and he was like babe and i was like i know i know i'm kidding
anyways it was so it was so good and we got on the tub together and we're just talking no phones
just the two of us like you know like in movies it was like a movie with still like the soundtrack
i'm gonna link the playlist below for you guys because if you want to experience want to feel

you know when people try on new food and suddenly it's like wait that's the reaction a lot of people
are having when they first try kewpie mayo it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on
the bottle you've probably seen it in the grocery store before and if you've ever just walked past
it some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different most mayonnaise
uses whole eggs kewpie only uses egg yolks which gives it this rich umami flavor it's smoother
deeper and almost buttery once people
try it they start putting it on everything egg sandwiches fries burgers some fans even swear by
dipping pizza crust in it and once you notice it you start seeing it everywhere chefs use it
restaurants use it people who really care about flavor use it never tried it grab the bottle with
the red cap next time you're at the store put it on just about anything then you'll understand
kewpie the original japanese mayonnaise getting to a great idea is hard in college nonsensical
essays cringe-inducing presentations and
seemingly unsolvable problem sets but then the first thought becomes the final thesis
jumbled slides transform into a polished keynote and that midterm assignment gets a lot less mid
because the road to great ideas is littered with bad ones you just have to keep going until
something clicks great ideas start on mac find out more on apple.com slash college
