[01:01] Coachella makes you an animal.

Speaker 3:
[01:04] The transition is crazy. What the? We are not well mentally, emotionally, physically.

Speaker 2:
[01:14] This bitch spuds Elani everywhere. Welcome to your favorite podcast, it's Fool Coverage with your host Laura Lee and.

Speaker 3:
[01:23] Manny MUA.

Speaker 4:
[01:24] Hey, hey guys, how are y'all doing? Listen, listen, no, let's just start it.

Speaker 2:
[01:30] We're really tired.

Speaker 3:
[01:31] This is gonna be so fucking for real right now, dude.

Speaker 2:
[01:33] We're really fucking tired.

Speaker 3:
[01:34] We are not well, mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually even.

Speaker 2:
[01:41] I'm hanging on by a thread right now, but we're gonna get this episode up and out to you guys because we must do our annual Coachella recap. It's literally part of the reason we got a Coachella.

Speaker 3:
[01:50] It literally is. I love doing the recap and this year was like...

Speaker 2:
[01:55] There are things. There are things we need to talk about this year.

Speaker 3:
[02:00] It was an experience. It was a spooky experience at times for sure.

Speaker 2:
[02:05] Yes. But first, we thought we would jump in the episode because two things happened that technically belong in a rapid fire episode, but we thought we'd just throw them in because we know you guys are gonna want our takes on them. The first one is, we woke up on Monday morning to Leap Coachella and Alex Cooper, who is the host of Caller Daddy podcast, called out Alex Earl.

Speaker 3:
[02:29] It was crazy.

Speaker 2:
[02:30] It was crazy.

Speaker 3:
[02:31] Pardon me, is this a stunt?

Speaker 2:
[02:34] Because that does get a lot of views on your podcast. So basically, I thought this was a lie, but there were shady posts about Alex Cooper, but the comments on the TikToks and posts said, oh my God, Alex Earl reposted this.

Speaker 3:
[02:50] Yes, and I thought that was fake.

Speaker 2:
[02:52] I thought it was fake because people make up lies and like say that all the times in the comment whenever it didn't happen. Like they'll say a celebrity reposted this and they didn't. So I thought the whole thing was fake. Apparently, it wasn't. Apparently, Alex had dropped little comments, a little repost, poke, sorry, poking at Alex Cooper. First of all, most people can't figure out that these are two different people.

Speaker 3:
[03:13] Oh, the first, the top comment of the video I saw, they're like, they're different and I screamed.

Speaker 2:
[03:19] How they look the exact same and have the exact same name.

Speaker 3:
[03:21] I, Licks and Licks, like I don't know. I don't know. But no, I saw, I watched the video and I screamed and then freaking Alex Earl commented on it and being like, okay, bet basically on it.

Speaker 2:
[03:34] She said on it.

Speaker 3:
[03:35] So, okay, on it.

Speaker 2:
[03:35] Then did you see Breonna Chicken Fry was saying that Alex Earl is going to destroy Alex Cooper?

Speaker 3:
[03:41] No.

Speaker 2:
[03:41] In a DM to David Portnoy or whoever that dude is from Barswell? Yes.

Speaker 3:
[03:45] Uh-huh, uh-huh, I didn't see that.

Speaker 2:
[03:46] Yes, said the Alex. Bro. Yes.

Speaker 3:
[03:48] Okay, here's the thing.

Speaker 2:
[03:50] We have some behind the scenes tea of like what the beef is and part of it. Part of it, part of it.

Speaker 5:
[03:55] I think it's an illustrious beef.

Speaker 3:
[03:57] I think that it's deeper than people think.

Speaker 2:
[04:00] But, it wasn't that crazy. Like the beef that we were told wasn't, it wasn't like mind-blowingly crazy, but there could be parts that we don't know about it. You know what I mean? But the parts that we've heard that like, Alex, the reasons, they were not like, catastrophic, but they weren't great. Like I'd be upset, but like for this to be perpetuated and to go on and on and on for so many years, for such a long time, I'm thinking the same thing.

Speaker 3:
[04:27] I'm really curious to see what Alex Earl has to say. And she goes, you know, on it. And so I'm like, she's definitely going to do it on her podcast. Yeah. And like really go in.

Speaker 2:
[04:35] Because she's going to want to like promote that podcast, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3:
[04:39] This is the perfect time to promote my podcast. Yes.

Speaker 2:
[04:43] This is an episode. She's definitely not going to get it.

Speaker 3:
[04:46] I gag though, because I feel like Alex Cooper is not the type that like does that kind of stuff. So I was really shocked.

Speaker 2:
[04:51] You know what a lot of people said in the comments on Alex Cooper's TikTok whenever she called Alex Earl out was like, this is the energy we want on your podcast. But my thing is people want Alex Cooper to call people out on her podcast. She wants them to be like, but why did you do this? And like come at them like a Diane Sawyer interview. They want her to ask questions that like celebrities, but I'm going to tell you if Alex Cooper does that, she's not going to get the guests that she's getting on her podcast. That's just how that works. Why would anyone sign up to go on a podcast where it's a gotcha podcast? You know, as far as a big celebrity, but she's pulling like Kim K and like the most relevant people because she doesn't do that, but you still get the tea and the juice.

Speaker 3:
[05:33] Yeah, you get a good, I think you get a good amount of it, but it's like the PG version of it. So like, but I don't think there's a world in which she's going to be able to do those kinds of things and get to do the gotcha game because that's kind of like what publicists and PR is for, like for celebs to be protected in some way against those kinds of questions. And that's why they know they're not going to do interviews. For example, if Kim Cain is ready to do an interview and they're saying, hey, do it with us and we will not ask you X, Y and Z, then they're going to do it with them because they're not going to ask those questions.

Speaker 2:
[06:00] Right.

Speaker 3:
[06:00] You know what I mean? They'll get juicy questions, but it's not going to be the exact same. But I did feel like it was an energy thing too, like the way she called it out, it felt so real.

Speaker 2:
[06:08] It did.

Speaker 3:
[06:09] I was like, also this feels very authentic, like very like, okay bitch, like pull up.

Speaker 2:
[06:13] She was like, there's no NDA. And then she also says this quote in it and she basically says, we both know what the truth is unless your narrative that you want to perpetuate isn't the truth.

Speaker 3:
[06:25] Right.

Speaker 2:
[06:25] So she's like, I'm not scared of you saying what the truth is unless you're basically going to tell a lie in a perpetuating narrative. It's what Alex Cooper was saying to Alex Earle.

Speaker 3:
[06:33] Yeah. So I'm very, I mean, we're going to see like what actually transpires.

Speaker 2:
[06:37] The girls are battling.

Speaker 3:
[06:38] I'm very curious as to when.

Speaker 2:
[06:40] Imagine waking up hungover on Monday.

Speaker 3:
[06:43] After Coachella weekend. And you know, Alex Earle is going in.

Speaker 2:
[06:48] Oh, going the fuck in.

Speaker 3:
[06:49] She's going in at Coachella. You know, it's going to be fucking spooky.

Speaker 2:
[06:52] And then that is your, what you wake up to.

Speaker 3:
[06:57] Girl, I wouldn't be able to do it. I'm just like, you know what, I'm going back to bed.

Speaker 2:
[07:00] See, my problem is someone would get cussed out and like I would be in the bed and just respond immediately without a thought.

Speaker 3:
[07:07] Yeah. But she's like, wait, let me utilize this.

Speaker 2:
[07:09] I'm thinking of like 2016 me though.

Speaker 3:
[07:11] Yeah. Yeah. You now you wouldn't do that.

Speaker 2:
[07:13] No, I wouldn't do that now. It would be plotted. Yeah, you know, I would think I would think I would make a few phone calls. We all know process your process process process. We didn't process because we had Snapchat and you went off on Snapchat. Every thought, every thought, every thought. Remember that time on Rezzy went off on Snapchat?

Speaker 3:
[07:36] I'll never forget that. That was history.

Speaker 2:
[07:38] That was history.

Speaker 3:
[07:38] That was history.

Speaker 2:
[07:40] Okay. And then our next topic, which we just wanted to quickly touch is a young 16-year-old girl dies because she drank too many Ilanis.

Speaker 3:
[07:49] A day.

Speaker 2:
[07:50] And so the family is suing Ilani for $1 million, but she was drinking six Ilanis a day. And they said the caffeine intake for a human is 400 milligrams a day. And then she was like, what, quadrupling that or something with the six Ilanis?

Speaker 3:
[08:08] Six Ilanis is six times two, so 1200 a day. She was doing 1200 milligrams a day.

Speaker 2:
[08:13] So yeah, so 400.

Speaker 3:
[08:15] That's three times the amount that daily you should be, or could be ingesting and being at a normal level.

Speaker 2:
[08:20] Do I even drink six drinks a day?

Speaker 3:
[08:23] No, I could drink if I had it my way. If I had it my way realistically, I could drink three a day.

Speaker 2:
[08:30] And you had no health.

Speaker 3:
[08:31] Yeah, I could drink three a day. Like I've had no health restrictions, but I keep it to right now like one and a half, maybe two.

Speaker 2:
[08:38] And they're Elanis.

Speaker 3:
[08:39] And they are Elanis. And let me tell you something, and I live for an Elanis. But the thing is I also was like looking into it because I saw the story and I was like, wait, let me like read this thing. So because of the ingredients in it, because she's in like more forming years of her like actual like biology, like it can stunt people's like heart growth at that point. Like because of the ingredients in it, it could like, or not even growth, it's more like dilation. It's like dilating because you have so much, because you know, caffeine makes your heart pump quickly. So it's you're just activating your heart too much at that point and making it like dilate like too fast.

Speaker 2:
[09:08] Oh my god.

Speaker 3:
[09:09] So it's like, okay, if you're consuming 1200 milligrams of caffeine a day at 16 years old, then it's also like, okay, so question about this. When the parents suing Alani, is it Alani's fault that she's drinking that or is it the parent without regulating?

Speaker 2:
[09:24] So that is the huge discourse online with this. I would say 90% of people are pissed that the parents are suing Alani because they're like, this is like burning yourself with an iron when it's hot. Like you can't sue the iron company. Like you abuse the product or you use the product wrong and like you got hurt. Like they can't just like not make iron.

Speaker 3:
[09:42] And on the thing, there's like your daily low. It's like, it tells you like these things.

Speaker 2:
[09:45] Yeah, it tells you, but the parents are saying that it wasn't big enough, but then they went and showed Red Bull and like all the others and it's the exact same size warning. And then on top of it, did you know Celsius owns Alani? They bought them for like 1.4 billion dollars. Yes, Celsius and Alani are the same company.

Speaker 3:
[10:00] I did not know that.

Speaker 2:
[10:01] Honey, yes, they're the same.

Speaker 3:
[10:03] Wow.

Speaker 2:
[10:03] Because it was in all of this. I know, I know.

Speaker 3:
[10:05] They have it all.

Speaker 2:
[10:06] With all this rhetoric online, with the situation that has come up and on Celsius, like the warning labels, all of it's the same throughout the energy drink. So that must be a standard approved FDA size to put on there. So it's like, I don't think they'll probably win the court case of a million dollars. But it's like, you're trying to get like a million bucks off your daughter's death or I don't know.

Speaker 3:
[10:27] I'm trying to go for 50.

Speaker 2:
[10:29] 50 mil? I know.

Speaker 3:
[10:31] With my child, dad.

Speaker 2:
[10:32] You guys shot really low with a million. Because especially if you live in California, you're only gonna get 600,000 after taxes.

Speaker 3:
[10:40] I just think in general, like the whole thing is just like weird because-

Speaker 2:
[10:43] It is weird.

Speaker 3:
[10:43] It's like you were saying with the Iron and Algae thing that's perfect. It's like, how are we gonna sue Alani for over consuming, like you're over consuming something and it's like suing, I don't know, like you were saying, suing an iron company. It just doesn't make sense to me. Like I think that the whole thing and the thing is like, it's not the company's fault that like someone over abused the product, you know? And it's a city situation.

Speaker 5:
[11:06] It's horrible. It's shitty. It sucks.

Speaker 3:
[11:07] It sucks. The fact that someone passed away is horrible. It's horrific. But it's like, again, abusing something, like that's, you guys, like let's, it's just tough because she's also a child.

Speaker 2:
[11:18] I know, that's what makes it tough. That's what makes it tough.

Speaker 3:
[11:20] And like she could have been not thinking, but then it's like, okay, then do you look at the parents then?

Speaker 2:
[11:23] You know, I would say like based off what I've seen in the comments, you guys can check yourself on all the people making TikToks and content. I looked at the comments for the public's opinion. And I would say like 90% of the public's opinion say it's the parents' fault for letting their child drink six aloneies a day. Maybe they didn't know she was drinking six a day.

Speaker 3:
[11:39] They probably didn't know. They probably didn't know.

Speaker 2:
[11:40] You know what I mean? Maybe they didn't know, but at the end of the day, it's like you have to think big and be like, you can't blame the brand at that point, you know what I mean?

Speaker 3:
[11:48] Okay, let's jump in to our Coachella recap.

Speaker 2:
[11:52] The official Coachella recap starts now.

Speaker 3:
[11:57] Okay, guys, so 2026 Coachella, I would say it was the craziest Coachella I've ever been to.

Speaker 2:
[12:02] I would say it's the most crowded Coachella I've ever been to in nine years.

Speaker 3:
[12:08] I saw someone say that it felt like it was oversold, and I could not agree more. It felt like Coachella was oversold. The tickets were oversold. That literally was a genius way of putting it. So basically, this year, because it was Bieberchella, it ended up being the biggest fucking Coachella.

Speaker 2:
[12:25] I'm Googling how many people was at Coachella Weekend 1 so we can have a number.

Speaker 3:
[12:28] Okay, great. I feel like it literally was insanity. And we go all the time. We go to Coachella's multiples. I've done eight, Laura's done nine. And so we are Coachella frequenters, and I'm not kidding you, this is the craziest we've ever seen it, and it wasn't even close.

Speaker 2:
[12:46] 125,000 people. They went. That were there.

Speaker 3:
[12:49] Well, they were all right in that spot.

Speaker 2:
[12:51] God.

Speaker 3:
[12:51] Let me tell you that. It was really crazy. And you guys, the reselling of everything, the fucking cancellations, how about the cancellations of the influencers? That became a huge topic.

Speaker 2:
[12:58] Let's go ahead and start there. Okay, so before Coachella even starts, you start seeing all these TikToks come out of influencers saying they got uninvited to Coachella, but as we've done investigative work, it turns out that...

Speaker 3:
[13:10] The Airbnbs. There's been a lot of situations apparently with Airbnb that last minute, like Airbnbs were canceling on people. Like the seller, the seller of the Airbnb, or like the house owner was canceling and then reselling the Airbnb for like five times the price. Where instead, like you paid the $10,000, like no, cancel that, get it for 50,000.

Speaker 2:
[13:29] Because they were getting better offers on their spot as time got closer to Coachella. And like, I guess in the policy in Airbnb, you can like cancel on somewhere at any time, apparently. So brands would rent a house, but it would get canceled. I actually talked to an influencer that was there with SeatGeek. And SeatGeek had just wasn't there themselves, but they were sending the influencer and they got her a little Airbnb, got canceled and they had to put her in some like crummy hotel. They didn't have a choice.

Speaker 3:
[13:56] We had a second one too. Remember the hair.

Speaker 2:
[14:00] Oh, that's another one that they were like they canceled. So that really was happening. That was not a rumor. However, the discourse got so big online with the uninvited influencer that I saw the comments take a very quick turn and people were like, this isn't real. Y'all realize that. Yes, some influencers had straight up messages they were willing to show and call out the brands. I, no doubt, that was real. They got uninvited, that was real. But there were a lot of influencers and this is what happens with TikTok just because it's such a, I want views, like I'll do anything for views type of app. I'll lie for views. Influencers were lying about being, they were never invited to begin with. They just wanted to make the video to get the click and have the attention on them. So there were a lot of influencers who lied about it. But I also think there were a ton of influencers that were telling the truth.

Speaker 3:
[14:46] Yeah, that really did get over.

Speaker 2:
[14:47] They really did get uninvited and then there were influencers who saw that and just took advantage at the moment. Where like, I'm just gonna make a video too and just not say the brand name because it never happened.

Speaker 3:
[14:55] Yeah, but then at that point it's like, okay, so then they're just a lying ass bitch. I don't know, it's like, to me it's like so corny. I'm like, to lie about a situation like that.

Speaker 2:
[15:04] Someone even commented on our thing because we were talking about it and they were like, you do know a lot of that was fake.

Speaker 5:
[15:09] Like, they were saying that to us.

Speaker 2:
[15:11] A lot of it wasn't even real because of all the lying influencers.

Speaker 3:
[15:15] I felt like in the beginning when the conversation was first starting, those were real. When it was people talking about the uninviting thing and then not understanding why last minute it was canceled. But then obviously when you do timelines together, it's like, oh my God, the Airbnb is canceling on the brand. The brand has nowhere to put them.

Speaker 2:
[15:29] And that happened for sure.

Speaker 3:
[15:30] And that was happening. So I think that that was a real situation. But then as days got closer and then the Coachella started to happen, videos started to pop out there. I was like, I was uninviting Coachella. Really? Because it's Friday. It's Coachella's happening right now. There was so many weird situations where I feel like it did just take a turn after the first few because of how viral it was going. People were starting to go like, oh my God, this is such a great thing to say. And so I saw, there was some that I saw that literally were like, this didn't happen. Okay, I literally saw it myself.

Speaker 2:
[16:02] You were like, you were like, I was like, this is crazy.

Speaker 3:
[16:05] I was like, girl, that's not happening. The brand is not telling you that. The brand is not telling you the reason you can't. Some of the stories, actually, I'm not kidding you, made no sense.

Speaker 2:
[16:13] They were too vague.

Speaker 3:
[16:14] And they were too vague. And it almost like they were trying to be specific about things, but the things didn't make sense.

Speaker 2:
[16:19] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[16:19] Where I was like, that's not happening. That's not normal. And then I also saw this, okay, I saw this one creator too. And I was like, liar. Like I knew, I just knew she was lying. I saw TikTok and she was talking about how last year a brand invited her and they paid her, they were like, I'm offering you $200,000.

Speaker 2:
[16:36] No, that's, well, it depends on the size of the influencer around my-

Speaker 3:
[16:39] She had like 300,000 followers.

Speaker 2:
[16:41] No.

Speaker 3:
[16:46] This episode of Fool Coverage is brought to you by booking.com. I've got to say, you guys, if you're looking to grow your vacation rental business, this is the place to be. booking.com is one of the most downloaded travel apps in the entire world. And for good reason, since 2010, they've helped over 1.8 billion vacation rental guests find places to stay. That's billion with a B.

Speaker 2:
[17:03] Here's the thing, most vacation rental hosts don't even realize they can list their properties on booking.com. And if you're not on the platform, your rental is basically invisible to millions of booking.com travelers worldwide. After all, they can't book what they can't see, right? And guess what? Registering your property on booking.com is so easy. You can do it in as little as 15 minutes. And nearly half the hosts get their first booking within a week.

Speaker 3:
[17:26] So if your vacation rental isn't listed on booking.com, it could be invisible to millions of travelers searching the platform. Don't miss out on consistent bookings and global reach. Head over to booking.com and start your listing today. Get seen, get booked on booking.com. Don't piss me off right now. Like when I watched that video and she was like talking about how like, but her morals are more important, so she didn't go. Like it was almost like a it.

Speaker 2:
[17:51] Wait, what's it called? What's it called? Whenever you do that, Virtue Signaling. She was Virtue Signaling.

Speaker 3:
[17:57] She was like, you guys, she's like, so look at me. Like I can, I just want you to know that you can turn down brands that you don't align with. Like I've turned down $200,000.

Speaker 2:
[18:05] You're like, you are never.

Speaker 3:
[18:06] I was like, you're never offered $200,000 for doing a Coachella.

Speaker 2:
[18:08] Show us the offer.

Speaker 3:
[18:09] I wanna see, because the thing is the biggest creators in the fucking world are not getting even close to that to go to Coachella. I'm sorry. They're getting things compensated and they are getting paid to capacities for sure, but you're not getting offered from one brand $200,000 to attend any weekend. It's just not happening. And I don't believe any creator and influencer is getting that kind of offer for what it is. So I'm like, that's not happening, especially since you have $300,000. It's just not a thing, it's not happening. So I feel like that became a huge conversation too, or people were being like, so you're lying about getting uninvited and people are lying about these money offers, because a big conversation started to happen too about people going with brands that they didn't align with just to go.

Speaker 2:
[18:48] It's sad because I would say, I would say in my experience bigger, more established creators who have a very, very serious, long running influential career, I would say you could probably trust them more, and I know you guys probably argue that a little bit, but it's sometimes the smaller creators. I don't even want to say you can't trust smaller creators, but it seems like whenever you get in the weeds in there, there's a lot of just random shit people will say. But as a bigger creator, you would never want to make a piece of content like that and blow your shit up and ruin your career, like making up some tumultuous lie like that. And also as a bigger creator, you don't need to do that. You don't need to do that to get the click. You know what I mean? So I think there's just honesty, bigger creators and smaller creators. But I mean, honestly, it was a lot of smaller creators that were...

Speaker 3:
[19:34] Well, what I was saying, the thing is I think that there's this thing where they're trying to just go through the muck of the algorithm and they're trying to be seen and grow. So they're almost doing anything and everything that they can to do that, and it's coming up with lies, and it's all these different things. And it's like, okay, but at what cost? And are you just selling your soul for clicks? I just don't understand what the point of it is other than the idea of growth. And I think that because TikTok is the app that it is, people are so obsessed with growing in views and getting the things that people get on there that they are willing to say and do anything for it.

Speaker 2:
[20:09] And you see it happen all the time.

Speaker 3:
[20:11] All the time. This is just another one of the situations where I was like, okay, well, you guys are all liars.

Speaker 2:
[20:14] Which also sucks for all the creators that this really did happen to. You know what I mean? And then you have all the lack of better words, dumbasses out there who want to make up a perpetuated story to latch on to people who did. And you know what? At the end of the day, when we take a step back, yes, it's like not the end of the world. Like, yeah, you were uninvited to go chill out. I understand.

Speaker 3:
[20:38] Okay. There's much worse things going on.

Speaker 2:
[20:42] You know, but I understand like the devastation though, because I will be honest, I'll be honest. If me and Manny had bought all of our outfits and we didn't prepare ourselves for Coachella, because the thing is, if we didn't get by our brand, we would still go, we would just pay for it. Like, that's fine. But I think the thing is, a brand would really fuck you over if they told you they were taking you, so you don't buy the Airbnb and you don't rent the hotel room and you don't buy the wristbands. Until, so it would screw you, you're. You're out like tens of thousands of dollars, potentially, because instead of like paying for the $600 wristband that you would have bought in the beginning if the brand had never told they were taking you. So that's why I feel really, really bad. And I know me and Manny joke a lot because we were like, baby, put them in a tent. Yeah, and like we make jokes, but honestly, we both feel really freaking bad for the influencers who that actually happened to. Like we were like, damn, that sucks so bad. Like I felt really bad and I hope that y'all call the brands out and I hope that you, because they can, baby, they got money. They could figure it out. They just didn't want to. You know what I mean? They just didn't want to pay that extra money that wasn't in their plans.

Speaker 3:
[21:46] And it could be like probably something insane money too. Like I'm thinking like, with the reselling situation, I'm like, oh my God, either they're not going to find something or they're paying six times the amount.

Speaker 2:
[21:57] For the Airbnb.

Speaker 3:
[21:57] For the Airbnbs. So I'm like, this is just fucking obscene. Like I don't even know. But yeah, I'm over that. Over the virtue signaling. The virtue signaling is really starting to piss me off. And it's like not even just with Coachella, just in general. The virtue signaling I'm seeing from these creators are like far beyond anything I've ever seen. I'm so tired of being like, these people are lying to you so you can trust me. I'm like, this is literally psychotic. You guys are so obsessed with like trying to be like the, the end all be all of your opinion. But then it's like, but you're lying about things too. Like I just don't understand. Like it's so weird to see a lot of creators try to bring other creators down for them to be the trustworthy one.

Speaker 2:
[22:35] Lift it up as the trustworthy one. Yeah, like, like over here, we don't lie about this. Yeah. Over here, we only take these brand deals.

Speaker 3:
[22:42] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[22:42] It's like, no.

Speaker 3:
[22:44] Girl.

Speaker 2:
[22:44] Also, I always feel like if you have to like make that your content, then there's something dishonest about you.

Speaker 3:
[22:51] Yeah, for sure. That's your main thing.

Speaker 5:
[22:53] That's your gig.

Speaker 3:
[22:54] Your gig?

Speaker 2:
[22:54] You have to put down other influencers or try to prove in ways that you're better. Better than the chances are you're not.

Speaker 3:
[23:00] No, the chances are, I think it's like you're almost insecure about it. Like I feel like you're actually like, you're guilty of something in some capacity, because I'm like, okay, well, if that's your whole shtick and you're so obsessed with the idea of like, other people are lying to you, I'm not, then I'm like, then you're lying about something because you're so obsessed with that.

Speaker 2:
[23:15] Me and Manny can literally make 10 TikToks on crazy shit brands have done, brand things we've turned down because it was the right thing to do, like all these things. And we don't because it's like, what's the point?

Speaker 3:
[23:26] It's not our gig, like it's not our main gig. I'm sure we've talked about things throughout the years and stuff like that, but I'm not like, every single video I'm not being like, this is why everyone's lying to you and I'm not. That is so fucking corny. I just think it's like a really corny thing. Anyway, going back to Coachella. So that was already like how Coachella was starting, so it was already spooky.

Speaker 2:
[23:44] That was like days before we got to go on our trip. Yes, so we went to Coachella, we flew there with JSX, which is amazing, we flew there last year.

Speaker 3:
[23:52] They're amazing.

Speaker 2:
[23:53] Someone said, you live in SoCal, why are you flying to Coachella? Well, we pulled a Kylie Jenner.

Speaker 3:
[24:02] We did, we did. The thing is, if I branch into the K, would you like to fly there or drive four hours? It's kind of tough to turn down, it'll be so real.

Speaker 2:
[24:13] The jet is going either way.

Speaker 3:
[24:15] Maybe it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2:
[24:16] The jet is going whether we get on it or not. The jet is going, okay.

Speaker 3:
[24:21] So either you fly 30 minutes or you drive four hours.

Speaker 2:
[24:24] Yep, that's it.

Speaker 3:
[24:26] We chose to fly for 30 minutes.

Speaker 2:
[24:28] Every single day.

Speaker 3:
[24:29] Yes, and so I love flying with them. So we get there on Thursday, Thursday like day zero, which is like a huge thing for Coachella. People are always like, day zero, day zero. I don't celebrate day zero. I'm not.

Speaker 2:
[24:42] Let me tell you something. Even Elf putting on a dinner, I was like.

Speaker 6:
[24:46] On day zero?

Speaker 2:
[24:48] Oh. So what screwed us up a little bit. Okay. Let me tell you something. Cause me and Manny, we don't, we're not into reading every crevice of a piece of paper.

Speaker 3:
[24:59] No, we're not.

Speaker 2:
[24:59] We're not into that.

Speaker 3:
[25:03] We're not really into, you know, reading every section of the contract.

Speaker 2:
[25:07] No. We like to skim.

Speaker 3:
[25:12] Sounds good. It's a skimmer. Sounds good.

Speaker 2:
[25:15] Yep. Yep. Got it. Got it.

Speaker 5:
[25:16] Got it.

Speaker 2:
[25:16] Got it. I'll be there.

Speaker 5:
[25:17] What time?

Speaker 2:
[25:19] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[25:19] Right.

Speaker 2:
[25:20] I need times and addresses.

Speaker 3:
[25:21] I have a skeleton for me.

Speaker 2:
[25:25] So whenever we landed, I've never had a brand make me pick up my wristband before.

Speaker 3:
[25:30] Oh, right.

Speaker 2:
[25:31] The first time that's ever happened, like the brands normally order the wristbands to the room and then you have the wristband whenever you get there. But what we didn't realize is like, no, you got to go get your wristband.

Speaker 3:
[25:44] And we were like, oh, shit, we have to go get our wristband. Okay, so then, so then we're like, okay, we have to carve out time for that to go get our shit.

Speaker 2:
[25:50] So we went to the hotel. It's the problem.

Speaker 3:
[25:53] That was our issue. So here's the thing. We fly in, we fly into like, Indio, Coachella Valley. Most, not most, a lot of brands will stay in Palm Springs because that's actually where hotels are and like resorts are, so you can actually like rent rooms instead of it being the houses. There's no like, hotels really in Indio, where it's like Coachella Valley.

Speaker 2:
[26:13] And unfortunately, Palm Springs is an hour outside of the festival.

Speaker 3:
[26:17] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[26:17] Hard hour.

Speaker 3:
[26:18] So we drove, this is started off, we drove from where we're going to the hotel, right? Okay, cool. We're here. It's been an hour. We go to look up where our ticket pick up is.

Speaker 2:
[26:31] It's where we flew into, which was an hour out and but then Elf was texting us and they're like, get on the bus. We're going to have a dinner. We were like a dinner.

Speaker 3:
[26:39] Oh, fuck. No, we can't. We have to go get our ticket. We have to literally go get our wristbands.

Speaker 2:
[26:45] So then we had to drive an hour back into Coachella Valley to go get our wristbands.

Speaker 3:
[26:50] How about beforehand us almost not even get like getting on the flight, us going into the wrong place?

Speaker 2:
[26:55] Let's talk about that.

Speaker 3:
[26:56] What about that, Laura?

Speaker 2:
[26:57] Let's talk about that.

Speaker 3:
[26:58] Let's talk about that.

Speaker 2:
[26:59] So, JSX has a private hangar, and then there's like the private jet airport, where all of our cars were dropping us off at the private jet airport, and we were literally like...

Speaker 3:
[27:11] And not the hangar.

Speaker 2:
[27:12] We were also supposed to be there at like 11, and I think we got there at like 11 45. So it was like 15 minutes before the flight took off.

Speaker 3:
[27:20] We're kind of like...

Speaker 2:
[27:21] But you don't have to do security or anything.

Speaker 3:
[27:23] Yeah, no, it's very easy to get there. So basically, we get dropped off at the wrong spot and we get over... By the way, I have two suitcases, Laura has two good suitcases, like we have a lot of shit, and we're going out and we're kind of looking around, we're like, we don't see, like, the place, it seems odd. So the woman just randomly comes out and she's like, are you guys going for JSX? And we're like, yes, we are. She's like, maybe you're in the wrong section, like, this is not where you need to be.

Speaker 2:
[27:42] We're like, okay, can we walk to where we need to go? And she's like, no, it's like a five-minute car ride.

Speaker 3:
[27:47] She's like, no, it's like about a mile and a half away. But our Uber just left.

Speaker 2:
[27:54] Our Uber is literally like this.

Speaker 3:
[27:57] It's a lot. So then, okay, so he's literally like turning around and going there, and I go like this.

Speaker 2:
[28:02] Manny's waving him back.

Speaker 3:
[28:03] I'm waving him down, I'm like, please, please, please, don't leave.

Speaker 2:
[28:05] And he goes like this.

Speaker 3:
[28:06] He's like, no.

Speaker 2:
[28:07] I picked up a new person.

Speaker 3:
[28:08] Yes, so she basically, they picked up a new person, so I was like, fuck, bro. So he literally swings around, gets a girl, and they're driving away, and I'm like, fuck, I really wish, tell me this is not psychic.

Speaker 2:
[28:18] He did, Manny did this one.

Speaker 3:
[28:19] I literally go, I really wish they would stop and just take us with her because she looked like a creator.

Speaker 4:
[28:25] From what I saw, she was a creator.

Speaker 2:
[28:27] She was like in Coachella Essence clothes and all that stuff.

Speaker 3:
[28:29] I was like, she looks like a creator. I really wish that she would just get us. I bet she's going on JSX.

Speaker 2:
[28:32] And we know every creator on there. Or they know of us, or we know them in some capacity.

Speaker 3:
[28:37] So then the fucking car stops.

Speaker 2:
[28:40] It goes, brake lights, and we were like this.

Speaker 3:
[28:43] Computer? So then literally, so then she comes out, she's like, why don't you just come with me?

Speaker 2:
[28:49] And it was freaking Jeannette, saved our asses. She let us jump in the car with her, and we all went to the JSX hangar together.

Speaker 3:
[28:59] You guys, we got so blessed, we got so lucky. I mentally tethered with her, we connected, we aligned. I literally out loud to Laura, I'm like, I really wish she would just stop and take us.

Speaker 2:
[29:07] And then she stopped.

Speaker 3:
[29:08] And they stopped.

Speaker 2:
[29:09] She heard you.

Speaker 3:
[29:09] Serendipitous.

Speaker 2:
[29:10] She heard you.

Speaker 3:
[29:11] I have a loud voice, people say.

Speaker 2:
[29:14] People?

Speaker 3:
[29:16] Some people might say I could carry octably. You know what I mean? So we're able to be saved. Thank you so much to Jennette for like actually saving us and rescuing us.

Speaker 2:
[29:25] But not everyone was saved because whenever we got to.

Speaker 3:
[29:30] The transition is crazy.

Speaker 2:
[29:32] Okay, so we're all happy. We walk in to the JSX airport. A lot of our influencer friends are there. We're so hyped up and we see Monay McMichael and that's our girl. We were like, what's up? And she was like, no, don't get excited. Don't get excited. Don't get excited. And we're like, what's going on? What's going on? She's like, I'm not getting on this flight. And we were like, why not? And she's like, my ID is in New Jersey. And we were like, Gad, we're like, can we do Famous Birthdays?

Speaker 5:
[30:00] Can we do anything to get you on?

Speaker 2:
[30:02] And they've told her no on everything. They're like, you have to have a real ID.

Speaker 3:
[30:06] Or passport, real ID or passport.

Speaker 2:
[30:09] I have a passport. So she had to call a car, leave the airport, call a car and drive all the way to Coachella.

Speaker 3:
[30:15] It was honestly really rough, the fact that she had to do that. Just in general, the fact that you go all the way there, you get to the freaking hangar, and then they're like, you actually can't even board the flight. So you have to drive all the way to Coachella Valley. It's just like...

Speaker 2:
[30:28] She said they made, because on the way she got to fly back with us because she got her ID, luckily. So she only had to drive one way, but she said whenever we were flying back, she said they made the most of it and like stopped it in and out and like listening to music. And they made it a fun little trip down there. So I was happy for her, but I was so sad she wasn't on our flight.

Speaker 3:
[30:45] I know, same. The flight was actually bumping and going there.

Speaker 2:
[30:47] The flight was a bomb!

Speaker 3:
[30:50] Tara was fully like DJing. Okay, also our attendant was so cool. Our flight attendant was so sweet. She was so cool. And Tara, she was sitting in front of us, she was like, do you think I can get an ox?

Speaker 2:
[31:00] I was like, yes.

Speaker 3:
[31:01] And I'm like, Tara, yes, get the fucking plain ox right now. She's so funny because she literally, I feel like she carries like the LA party scene on her back. Like, I think she's tired.

Speaker 2:
[31:09] We were telling her that. There was a New York influencer talking to us, she was like, I don't wanna move to LA because all you guys do is like yoga and like wellness. And I'm like, that is true.

Speaker 3:
[31:17] That's true.

Speaker 2:
[31:17] They were trying to tell her, no, it's not like that. I was like, it is like that. I was like, do not move here if you wanna be a party girl. And Tara was like, no, I'm a party girl.

Speaker 3:
[31:25] And we're like, yes.

Speaker 2:
[31:26] Yeah, but you're the only, like you carry it on your back.

Speaker 3:
[31:30] She was like, I'm tired of carrying this on my back.

Speaker 2:
[31:32] Cause no one else parties, people don't party in LA.

Speaker 3:
[31:35] But she literally was like, I'm gonna like ask her if there's an ox. I'm like, I don't think planes have oxes, but like, fuck it, ask her.

Speaker 2:
[31:42] I'm like this. I was like, they definitely have an ox. They definitely have an ox.

Speaker 3:
[31:46] But they have the speaker, like they have the coms.

Speaker 5:
[31:50] Attention, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 3:
[31:51] Yes, so they have that. So literally, our final was so sweet, she was like, yes, we can do a song. So like Tara went to the back, gets her freaking phone and she puts it up to Sabrina Carpenter. She's literally playing it over the intercom and everyone's like, -Ahhhhh... Laura got up fully dancing, so it was sick.

Speaker 2:
[32:07] -She was like, no one's gonna dance.

Speaker 3:
[32:09] I was like, okay, I'll do it. Yeah, Laura, Laura's a trooper.

Speaker 2:
[32:11] -Here's the thing about me, I don't give a f-ck what anyone thinks. Yeah, really, really. -I really don't.

Speaker 3:
[32:17] I really do not. You're just gonna do it, you're just gonna be, you're gonna get up and do it.

Speaker 2:
[32:19] -Don't care.

Speaker 3:
[32:21] Don't care. So it was actually really funny and it was a really, really good flight going there because of just the funness and like everyone was hype as f-ck. And it's excited, like you're in excited mode because of that. So like literally Tarz on the f-cking plane DJing through the intercom. It's like, -It was a party night. -Oh, I need quite an impression. Like this.

Speaker 2:
[32:39] -Ooh, ooh, ooh. It was really cute, actually.

Speaker 3:
[32:42] It really was. It was really, really fun.

Speaker 2:
[32:44] Okay, look at your notes and see what, see if we missed anything from Thursday night.

Speaker 3:
[32:48] Let me tell you something, what I like to do.

Speaker 2:
[32:50] Oh, okay.

Speaker 3:
[32:50] I like to make notes.

Speaker 2:
[32:51] Yep. So with the ELF dinner, we just texted ELF and they were cool about it. We were like, hey, so about that dinner, we are 45 minutes into Indio, California trying to pick up wristbands. And they were like, just get here. We'll meet you late. We'll meet you late.

Speaker 3:
[33:09] We will get there. But it was funny because we got there, we got to see the whole team and it was honestly really, really fun. Everyone was so cool. Me and Laura Lee, we need to go get snacks though. We need to go get the snacks and go to the store as well and get just things and fixings. You guys, we literally are walking through the aisle. Is that right? Is that wrong?

Speaker 2:
[33:28] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[33:29] So we're walking through the aisle and I literally was like, okay, I need Elani. Speaking of Elani, I was like, okay, let me get like six for the weekend. Six for the weekend.

Speaker 2:
[33:37] I need a canned Dr. Pepper. You know, maybe we should get six a day out there, honey. You're pushing it.

Speaker 3:
[33:43] I need it.

Speaker 2:
[33:43] I need it for four days. If Elani takes you out, I will sue them for a million dollars.

Speaker 3:
[33:47] No, I want more.

Speaker 2:
[33:48] I want more.

Speaker 3:
[33:49] I want more for you.

Speaker 2:
[33:51] How much do you think I can get out of this? You have a lot of Instagram followers.

Speaker 3:
[33:56] Thank you so much. I'm so glad that you're going to sue for me.

Speaker 2:
[33:58] I am.

Speaker 5:
[33:59] I want the shake.

Speaker 2:
[34:01] My podcast host is gone because of your drink.

Speaker 3:
[34:03] For your shit.

Speaker 5:
[34:04] What do you want me to do?

Speaker 3:
[34:04] Yeah. What are you going to do?

Speaker 2:
[34:06] They're going to have to compensate.

Speaker 3:
[34:07] There was this woman, she was really just on a sick.

Speaker 2:
[34:10] She was on drugs.

Speaker 3:
[34:11] She was on drugs. She was obviously on a sick one, but she was basically on drugs. She was it was a journey and she was very like she was on. I think she was on the phone or she was doing something and she was like kind of being crazy.

Speaker 2:
[34:22] She was talking to herself, Manny. There was no really no. She was talking to herself.

Speaker 3:
[34:25] Laura was more observant than me in that moment.

Speaker 5:
[34:27] I was like, yes, correct.

Speaker 3:
[34:31] So then I'm in the fridge. I'm like in the fridge grabbing my Elanis. I don't have a bag with me or anything. I just am holding them. I drop every Elani I had busted open. Busted fucking open.

Speaker 2:
[34:42] All over the fucking store.

Speaker 3:
[34:43] Like the whole fucking thing.

Speaker 2:
[34:44] Clean up. Okay, so the lady is standing there, talking to herself, staring at the chips. So it's fridge chips. She is facing the chips, having a full blown attack. It's an aggressive conversation with the chips. I'm fine. I don't even care. I'm just trying to get my Dr. Pepper. He's trying to get his Elani. We're just not engaging. It's fine. It's fine. We live in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3:
[35:07] Yeah, we know. We know what it's like.

Speaker 2:
[35:08] We know what's up. We know what's up. We're like, it's fine. This bitch busts Elani everywhere. She ran. She ran.

Speaker 3:
[35:18] She thought as if I literally was attacking her.

Speaker 2:
[35:20] Was throwing them at her. She thought you were throwing them at her, but the thing is he put six in his arm and they were falling out of the arm. And I'm literally like this.

Speaker 3:
[35:29] She was like this. Because at that point, we're like, we just got to go.

Speaker 2:
[35:34] All I wanted was a pack of mini or regular canned Dr. Peppers sold out.

Speaker 3:
[35:39] Gone.

Speaker 2:
[35:39] Sold out. So I found bottles of flat ass Dr. Pepper for the entire weekend.

Speaker 3:
[35:46] I got lucky with my cans. But she, yeah, she did run. So the fact that I scared her.

Speaker 2:
[35:51] He scared her off. The fact that you scared her.

Speaker 3:
[35:52] The fact that I scared her off is saying something because she could have spooked off a lot of people. And it wasn't. So that was that was basically our Thursday. Like that was our day zero.

Speaker 2:
[36:01] Anything else that happened on Thursday?

Speaker 3:
[36:03] I don't think on day, not on Thursday.

Speaker 2:
[36:05] Check the notes.

Speaker 3:
[36:06] We're going into Friday now. That was, that's literally the end up. You know what? I'll watch to add to this because this is a recurring theme and I found that it's out on Thursday. My, okay, so we get to the hotel. Come. Okay, so we get to the hotel. Mirror-wise, like it looks exactly the same. Our rooms are basically the exact same. Like they look the same. Everything, the amenities, though, were not the same. Like it was not, my room wasn't working the way Laura's room was working. I'm talking like the shower didn't get hot for me. Okay, it didn't warm up. The AC wasn't cooling as low as, Laura had set it to 73 and it's freezing. I was setting it to 67 and it was warmer than hers.

Speaker 2:
[36:45] It needed some Freon. Like, you know what Freon is?

Speaker 3:
[36:48] I don't know what that is.

Speaker 5:
[36:50] We used to have to put Freon.

Speaker 2:
[36:52] Our AC didn't work growing up, but daddy would go find Freon somewhere.

Speaker 3:
[36:56] What is Freon? Is it like a liquid?

Speaker 5:
[36:57] I don't even know what the fuck it is. It's like a liquid, but he was-

Speaker 3:
[36:59] It's a coolant, it's a coolant.

Speaker 2:
[37:00] It must be, and he would like put it in there and we'd get a little puff puff of coolant coming out.

Speaker 3:
[37:05] Yeah, got it. I was puffing a little Freon. So basically, I had to use Laura's shower every single day across the way. I left my room to go shower at her thing.

Speaker 2:
[37:18] Also, my first shower there, I slipped and fell out of the shower and busted my foot. You guys, Laura fucked up her shit. The whole top of my foot was black, was it not?

Speaker 3:
[37:28] Yes, I can confirm it was bruised black. It was fucked up. You guys, the thing is that there was like a lip in the shower that goes up like this high.

Speaker 2:
[37:37] You had to step way over it to get out. So when I stepped down, my front foot went flying and my back foot slammed into that lip and it was so swollen. And the thing is, whatever accident happened, but I need my feet to be in good condition because it's the start of hell.

Speaker 3:
[37:51] Literally, it's hell week. It's actually a weekend.

Speaker 2:
[37:53] It's hell weekend. Like literally, I need my feet to be in mint condition. I busted my foot on night one up.

Speaker 3:
[37:59] So that's basically all Thursday. Let's go into Friday. Friday, I feel like was our most. It was a journey. Friday was our biggest journey.

Speaker 2:
[38:10] It was a big journey.

Speaker 3:
[38:11] It was fucked. Low key is what it was. It was really dark, you guys. Friday was really, really dark with your notes and tell me to start. Yeah, make sure we don't miss from Friday. So it starts off with our Uber driver. It starts off.

Speaker 2:
[38:27] So we got ready. We had breakfast. We got ready. We filmed all of our content, edited our content. We were like, let's take our two hour ride into the festival, into the valley, into the valley.

Speaker 3:
[38:37] Also, like, Elph had provided us, like, a bus to go in and out. We were, like, taking Ubers because it was the timing.

Speaker 2:
[38:44] The bus was, like, headed there, like, at 1 p.m. and, like, me and Manny don't go to Coachella till night time because it's too, like, hot and it's too hot and intense.

Speaker 3:
[38:52] So we want to film and, like, get our content done during the day and then kind of do what we want to do during the day. And, like, whether we go into parties or just whatever it might be, like, really more so, like, filming, getting our ducks in a row with what we want to do. But and we always go to Gertrude around, like, 6 past, like, 6 p.m. down. That's when we'll go. We just don't go in there.

Speaker 5:
[39:09] So we were like, we'll just call a car.

Speaker 2:
[39:10] That's fine. We do that every year, though. Every year, the shuttles just leave earlier to go because a lot of them, they want to go. The rookies, the rookies, the rookies girl is the rookies.

Speaker 3:
[39:20] The rookies are just not possible.

Speaker 2:
[39:24] Also, the biggest artists go on at night. That's like when all the main artists go.

Speaker 3:
[39:28] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[39:29] So we call this car and we get into it. And this guy goes straight up, straight up. This is my first time ever driving someone to Coachella. So what, what? Okay, let me tell you something. When you get in an Uber to go to Coachella, you got to find the swaggiest pimp dude ever to take you there because he's going to have to do some dirty dog shit to get you into that festival. If he's going to follow the rules and he's going to wait in line, you're never going to get there. You got to find the guy in the black SUV that is going to hop curve. He's going to make a legal U-turn. He's going to cut people off. He's going to flick them off. That is your guy you want. You want that guy every time. You want to just go where you're going, into the festival VIP entrance. There's no VIP entrance. Great. Let's roll. And he will get you in there under an hour. This guy, we get in the car. This is my first time ever taking someone to Coachella.

Speaker 3:
[40:24] Oh! First time because he wasn't from there, you guys. He was actually from San Diego and he was driving up to do the riots for the whole weekend.

Speaker 2:
[40:29] We were like, we're.

Speaker 3:
[40:31] We were like, we're, bro, Like, it already had started off very dark. And so, and also like, he's a talker. I will say he's also a talker.

Speaker 2:
[40:40] Didn't take a breath.

Speaker 3:
[40:41] Sweet guy.

Speaker 2:
[40:42] Really sweet, really sweet guy.

Speaker 3:
[40:43] Like, really, really sweet guy.

Speaker 2:
[40:44] Really sweet guy.

Speaker 3:
[40:45] But man, he did not take a breath and we were driving an hour and I'm not the type, I guess I'm just not the person to talk to my ubers really a ton.

Speaker 2:
[40:51] Uh-uh, you don't tell him all kinds of shit, Manny. You tell him all kinds of shit.

Speaker 3:
[40:55] I usually am like that person that like don't talk. I don't want to talk to people at all, but he was like going just in and in and in and I was like, okay, cool. I guess like this is what we're doing. He was saying this might as well his last ride. It's like taking her to rehab.

Speaker 2:
[41:10] Oh, yeah. He took a woman to rehab, honey. It's oh, it was stories were wild. They were wild. Every thought that came in his head, he said it out loud and we were like, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea.

Speaker 3:
[41:24] So it was a journey. It was a journey to get there.

Speaker 2:
[41:27] He loved country music.

Speaker 3:
[41:30] He did not stop playing country the whole time. It was country the entire way. I'm like, sir, do you want to play like a little Justin?

Speaker 2:
[41:36] I was like, no, it's fine where we have it.

Speaker 3:
[41:38] Laura's like, no, I think I'm good. I think we are good.

Speaker 2:
[41:41] And I'm like, but so that it's like we're like headed into Coachella where it's like and we're going there. It's like I like my whiskey when I drink.

Speaker 3:
[41:53] I'm like this.

Speaker 2:
[41:53] Oh, it was like them long country songs. Honey, torture, torture.

Speaker 3:
[41:58] We are going to Coachella, though, sir. This is a stagecoach, OK? So we were getting there and we he's not maneuvering over.

Speaker 2:
[42:08] He can't he just doesn't know.

Speaker 3:
[42:10] He doesn't know. He doesn't know.

Speaker 2:
[42:11] No, he's rookie. He doesn't know the legalities that you have to take to get into this festival.

Speaker 3:
[42:17] And it's a lot.

Speaker 2:
[42:18] So me and Manny look at each other and we go, let's just walk it. Let's just walk.

Speaker 3:
[42:25] This was the beginning of the end.

Speaker 5:
[42:27] This was it right here.

Speaker 3:
[42:28] It started right there.

Speaker 2:
[42:29] Right here, right here. So I think we walked almost four miles.

Speaker 3:
[42:35] We walked so fucking far just to even get to the festival.

Speaker 2:
[42:38] We had to get out of this man's car because the thing is...

Speaker 3:
[42:41] We couldn't, like, you guys, it's bumper to bumper. You can't, like, you can either they're maneuvering or you're waiting the entire time.

Speaker 2:
[42:45] Or you're waiting the entire time. You're going to be in the car for four more hours.

Speaker 3:
[42:48] Literally, at this point, us walking was actually way faster than us driving.

Speaker 2:
[42:52] We were passing all the cars going and walking.

Speaker 3:
[42:54] We had a mission because we were going to go see Cat's Eye. That's the thing. We actually had a mission to get there at a certain time because we wanted to see Cat's Eye.

Speaker 2:
[43:00] And we knew we had to start walking. I think we walked for four hours. I mean, I'm sorry for four miles.

Speaker 3:
[43:05] I'm not kidding. I could not agree more.

Speaker 2:
[43:06] Down the sidewalk.

Speaker 3:
[43:07] We actually walked past. It was so funny because I saw videos of them out and about. So there's this retirement home that's sitting outside of Coachella. I think so. I think they're like, maybe it's like a retirement home. They're all older for sure.

Speaker 5:
[43:18] They're all older for sure. Like 50 plus.

Speaker 3:
[43:21] Yes. So they're all sitting on the side and they're just literally watching. There are people watching and they're just sitting up.

Speaker 2:
[43:27] They have blonde chairs.

Speaker 3:
[43:28] It's like 50 of them.

Speaker 2:
[43:28] And they have signs they're holding up. They're like honk if you're going to Coachella.

Speaker 3:
[43:32] It's actually really, really cute.

Speaker 2:
[43:33] And they like go woo and you all buy and they cheer you on. It's like the cutest. They do it every year, by the way. They're there.

Speaker 3:
[43:39] I didn't even realize that they do it every year.

Speaker 2:
[43:41] Last year. You remember?

Speaker 3:
[43:43] Honestly, I just cannot remember.

Speaker 2:
[43:44] It's too much.

Speaker 3:
[43:44] It's too much.

Speaker 2:
[43:45] It's too much.

Speaker 3:
[43:45] They were cute as we were passing by him and they're like, yeah, woo. And they're like, you guys are such a cute couple.

Speaker 2:
[43:51] I was like, oh, thank you.

Speaker 3:
[43:53] I literally was like, thank you so much.

Speaker 2:
[43:55] Yes, my husband's a flaming.

Speaker 3:
[43:59] I literally was like, thank you.

Speaker 2:
[44:01] Thank you. We just started dating.

Speaker 3:
[44:03] Yeah, it's really new.

Speaker 2:
[44:05] Don't know if it's gonna work.

Speaker 3:
[44:07] It's really new. It's really fresh. But I thought it was really cute that they were like, what a hot couple you guys are.

Speaker 2:
[44:12] We're like, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[44:14] I'm like, fuck yeah. Actually, fuck yeah, bro. I love pussy. That was literally me. So it was really, it was really, really funny going in. So anyway, we're on our trek, okay? We're on a trek. We're noticing it's getting quite windy.

Speaker 2:
[44:30] We were like, this is a little more windy than normal.

Speaker 3:
[44:32] We're like, I'm feeling it's getting very windy.

Speaker 2:
[44:35] Something's a foot.

Speaker 3:
[44:36] Something's a foot.

Speaker 2:
[44:37] They were like, something is a foot with this wind.

Speaker 3:
[44:41] I know that if my hat is trying to blow off, I know it's windy.

Speaker 2:
[44:44] Do you remember we were walking in and like the dust in the wind? We were like dying.

Speaker 3:
[44:47] Yes, it was already starting.

Speaker 2:
[44:48] The thing is, you remember I had blisters all over my feet because of the four mile walk.

Speaker 3:
[44:53] It hadn't even started yet.

Speaker 2:
[44:54] Hadn't even started. Okay, this is the thing. Once we got into Coachella, I was in my socks. I was in my socks. So I hadn't even gotten like anywhere. Because of the walk, because we had to get out of our Uber. And like the thing is, I probably walked four miles total. You know what I mean? For the whole night. I hadn't even started the night and I had already walked for four miles. So I had blisters all over my feet. So I bring blister pads and band-aids always, no matter what. Listen, I'm ready. I'm ready for this shit.

Speaker 3:
[45:22] And she was in a boot. It's not like she was in, like, it was just an intense walk.

Speaker 2:
[45:25] I just think it was the four mile walk that got me. So as soon as we get in, Manny looks back and I'm in my socks holding my boots, walking to Cat's Eye, because when we got in, we go, let's go straight to Cat's Eye so we don't miss it. Because we didn't anticipate a walk, which took a lot of time.

Speaker 3:
[45:39] We also didn't realize that Sahara... Okay, guys, so here, here's the thing. When you walk in through VIP, you basically get pushed out to the main stage. Like, that's kind of like how it is, like the entrance is right there. Main stage, like, when you're going through, it's on the left, like, it's right there. The Sahara tent or stage where they were performing Cat's Eye in the next 30 minutes is across the f-cking map. It's across the whole damn way. United States of America. Literally, it's like literally one outlier to the neck. It's just literally crazy. So we're like, oh, do we actually have to, like, really book it? Because I had never even, I don't think I had ever been to the Sahara stage.

Speaker 2:
[46:16] If we haven't been so long, I don't even remember.

Speaker 3:
[46:18] Yeah, same. I probably have to see someone else, but I just cannot remember. So it was very, very far. And it was a journey. And Laura was already going through the gate.

Speaker 2:
[46:26] I was in my socks, but what was happening was I noticed my feet was getting wet on the grass. So I was like, this is going to be a problem. This is going to be a problem if I have wet feet all night in my boots. You know what I mean? I was like, I feel like this is going to create an elongated problem. So like, I literally have to pull over and bandage my feet up and we haven't even started the night.

Speaker 3:
[46:51] Yeah, so we do, like, we literally pull off to the side. Laura's literally like, I'm literally flashing her purse doing this so that she can actually see her band-aids, her f-cking mold skin, so she can cover up half her feet with mold skin just to get through, just to even get to catch you guys. We haven't even got there yet. I hadn't even started yet at that point. And Laura's already bandaged.

Speaker 2:
[47:10] I'm rethinking it all of my life.

Speaker 3:
[47:12] Every decision you've ever made.

Speaker 2:
[47:13] Next year, I'm wearing hokas.

Speaker 3:
[47:16] Honestly, at this point, f-ck it.

Speaker 2:
[47:16] I don't give a f-ck what my outfit is.

Speaker 3:
[47:18] F-ck it.

Speaker 2:
[47:18] You're getting hokas.

Speaker 3:
[47:20] So we actually, we go in and you guys, because it is the busiest Coachella ever, it's like a journey to get there. Like, it is so hard to get through people so much, this hard, like, stage is getting so packed because honestly, they should have been on the main stage because of how many people showed up for them. Like, it just should have been that. But we finally get there, they start performing, it's everything.

Speaker 2:
[47:37] It was everything.

Speaker 3:
[47:37] It was everything.

Speaker 2:
[47:38] It was everything.

Speaker 3:
[47:40] We were fucking, it was just literally me and Laura too. Like, at that point we were like, maybe we should book it ourselves.

Speaker 2:
[47:44] Okay, I want to say this. So, in a lot of our content, obviously you have posts you have to make for Elf because you're there with the brand. That's every brand, that's every Coachella. That's just what it is, you know, you exchange your posts. We didn't realize that you couldn't say any of the brand, like the band names. You can't say Cat's Eye, you can't say Justin Bieber, you can't say Sabrina Carpenter. So, in all of my content, people are like, why are you calling them a girl group? Or why are you bleeping out this?

Speaker 3:
[48:08] Or why?

Speaker 2:
[48:09] Like it was weird, it was kind of weird that I was doing that. Or like, why is your vlog not have any of the music in it? It's because the brand has legalities and like, unfortunately, they wouldn't let us say that. So I just want to clarify, it didn't, some people were like, it's just, it's road competing with Justin Bieber, that's why she can't say it. It was nothing like that. It was like, I think they didn't want to get sued by the artist.

Speaker 3:
[48:32] It's most brands like this though, by the way. Like if you see like people's content, usually.

Speaker 2:
[48:35] It's on and off. I've never had a brand tell me I can't say an artist's name ever before, Coachella, but I think every legal team is different.

Speaker 3:
[48:42] Absolutely. Because I think that's what it is.

Speaker 2:
[48:44] Like, Elf's legal team is just like, we don't. We have red tape here and like, you can't. But I just want to clarify, that's why the content was like that.

Speaker 3:
[48:54] And that's why there was bleeps and shit. So anyway, it was fantastic. That was really, really fun. And we had such an amazing, amazing time.

Speaker 2:
[49:01] Like, that was like, thank God. That was honestly like the highlight of my Coachella, to be honest.

Speaker 3:
[49:06] And it was like, not even close. So then, after then, we hiked it back to VIP, again, so fucking far. We're across the fucking map. And we get to VIP and it is so blown out of people.

Speaker 2:
[49:21] I've never in my life have seen it like this.

Speaker 3:
[49:23] You guys, I'm not kidding you. It was almost like body to body.

Speaker 2:
[49:26] It was.

Speaker 3:
[49:27] And this is on Friday and Saturday is even the busier day. So the fact that Friday is already that point, I'm like, dude, this is going to be so bad. And it's by this point too, it's like maybe like nine o'clock. So it's super late. You can't even see anyone. And like honestly, one of the fun parts about Coachella for me too, is you can socialize with people I have not seen in so long, or since literally the last Coachella where I'm able to take Kiki and hang out with friends and just like meet up with people that I have not seen in so, so, so long because that's just like the Coachella way. You know, and you just kind of reconnect. Do you know how hard it was to even see people? Impossible.

Speaker 5:
[49:57] It was impossible.

Speaker 3:
[49:59] You can't even find people. It was such a journey.

Speaker 2:
[50:01] It was just shoulder to shoulder everywhere out there. Like it was just kind of like low key a nightmare. Like it was the amount of people out there. Cause I've never seen it this busy. And that's obviously cause it was Justin Bieber and he like canceled his tour for his album. And this was his like big performance for the album. So people are going to turn out because of the lack there of performances.

Speaker 3:
[50:19] Of course. It made sense as to why it was what it was, but it was just so intense for what it was that we just not have been used to that. Like I've never seen it like that. And I was honestly really overwhelmed and I was really anxious actually. Like the first night, because I was like, like this is almost like I'm getting claustrophobic. Like in a way, like there's too many people. I feel very overwhelmed and it's not ever been like this. And I've been in Coachella so many years that I'm like, I'm never really feeling like too claustrophobic in these situations. And I did feel it then. So I was like, fuck dude, what are we going to do? And so then at this point, we actually were like, OK, actually the bus is coming to get us for Nylon. So we had an after party. So there's a lot of after parties and parties that happen around Coachella.

Speaker 2:
[50:56] And the rookies are tired and we were like, mama, it's Friday night, it's Friday night. That's why you don't come here at 1 p.m. Yes, because it's so hard.

Speaker 3:
[51:04] It's just hard to do the things you want to do.

Speaker 2:
[51:06] If you're going to stay out till 4 a.m., you shouldn't go out at 1 p.m. Unless you're doing drugs, where a lot of people are doing drugs too.

Speaker 3:
[51:12] So there's that. People are lasting throughout Coachella a lot of times because they're going through the gigs. But they're like, OK, cool, the cars are going to get us at 1030. So we basically had like at that point, an hour left at the festival. We went to VIP. We went to go eat. We just kind of hung out and like chilled. Like it was very like chill at that point. Girl, at this point, it's like, I don't even remember.

Speaker 5:
[51:34] So then the elf was like, just meet us.

Speaker 2:
[51:37] OK, by the way, the wind is picking up 10 times stronger the later it gets. So the wind is getting crazier and crazier. So Sabrina Carpenter goes on. Elf was like, after Sabrina Carpenter, let's meet at the elf house and then we'll go walk to the shuttle and we'll go to nylon. So we're like, OK, cool. That's fucking awesome because we've had shuttle parking before and it's the best because shuttles have a specific way they can get out of Coachella and you don't have to sit in traffic and you don't have to order an Uber. So we were really excited for that.

Speaker 3:
[52:01] -Fuck yes, shuttle to nylon. -Shuttle to nylon, so-- -What about us walking back and no one can take a photo? -Wait, what? Remember? -The photos, like, people were like, can we stop to take a photo? And it was just a journey. -Oh, I know what you're talking about! -Every single time. -Speak on it, speak on it. -OK, guys, so it's actually really, really funny. So, I mean, I wrote this down on my things because a lot of-- -So, when we're going through it, because we have to, like, kind of get back kind of quickly or just kind of, like, you know, maneuver to get back by a certain amount of time, because we're also trying to hit all of our obligations to go to where we needed to go. So, we get stopped a lot at Coachella because-- -It's just our demographic. -It's our people, like, this is our vibe. -It is, this is our people. -So, we're getting stopped a lot. And it's so funny because, like, no one can take a photo. -No one.

Speaker 2:
[52:47] No one. They'd be like, can I have a picture of you? We're like, yeah, do it, let's do it. -There's never a flash. -And then they'd be like, it's not working, it's not working. -Uh-huh. It's never, like, the cameras won't work, like, the G7X, none of it, like-- -Whenever the G7X come out, it's a 30-minute process. -We're literally waiting, like, we're all holding, like, this, like this.

Speaker 3:
[53:08] We're gonna take a photo. Like, literally, it happened to us, I'm not kidding you, maybe, like, from that, specifically, with the cameras not working, it was, like, five times, at least. -Yeah. -Just with that, I was like, this is so funny that, like, the cameras aren't working out here, like, the flashes aren't going off. I think it may be the dust, like, the dust gets into the camera or something. -No, no. -Something's happening.

Speaker 2:
[53:25] Or maybe they have no, they don't know. -I think what's happening is you guys are not training your boyfriends and best friends how to work the camera. Rule number one, when you go and you are gonna want pictures, not with your favorite influencers or whatever, not like that. Just in general, you have to train the bestie and you have to train the boyfriend. Hit the top right corner. Do not put the flash on auto. Put the flash on on and then what you're gonna do is hit that center button. You're gonna hold it still for a minute because the flash is gonna take a minute because it's nighttime so it's not gonna flash quick like this. It's gonna take a minute.

Speaker 3:
[54:01] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[54:01] So you're gonna hold the phone until the flash stops.

Speaker 3:
[54:05] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[54:06] And that is how you take a picture with an iPhone. But these girlies are not training the boyfriends and girlfriends. So what you should do, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna start a course. We are. We're starting a course. You should tap the camera, hold it down. And what's gonna happen is you're gonna hit the bottom right corner. You can flip it to selfie mode. And then what you can do is you can pull it up and you can get 800 selfies in two seconds instead of asking your friends to do it for you.

Speaker 3:
[54:31] No, and the thing is also funny. I remember this one girl, she was like, I've been taking photos all night. They don't know what they're doing. And I'm like, I'm so sorry, girl.

Speaker 2:
[54:39] You have to tell them, beat them, beat them, beat them.

Speaker 3:
[54:42] Like I felt so bad.

Speaker 2:
[54:43] I felt so bad. I know.

Speaker 3:
[54:44] Not getting any photos.

Speaker 2:
[54:45] And they were freaking out because they're like, oh my God, can you take the picture to their friend?

Speaker 5:
[54:50] And they'd be like, oh, they're about to fight.

Speaker 2:
[54:51] They're about to battle.

Speaker 3:
[54:52] We'll be like this, like this, just be smiling. And they would be about to put the flash on.

Speaker 2:
[54:59] And they would be like about to cuss out their friend.

Speaker 3:
[55:01] And I'm like, I don't know how to do it. What are you talking about?

Speaker 2:
[55:03] She's like, OK, we took it. And she's like, there was not a flash.

Speaker 3:
[55:06] Oh, my God, it happened so many times.

Speaker 2:
[55:08] It happened so many times. The boyfriends were getting cussed out, the best friends. And I'm like, y'all got to tell us beforehand. Yeah, y'all got to train them beforehand. You're going to show people. This thing is when people go to work and shit, they're not taking content all day. They don't know how to work the phone, especially when it's nighttime. And like the lighting, you have to get girl, you got to prep. This is why you're Coachella prep. You prep them and you get that picture you want every single time. But by the way, if you ever want a picture of me and Manny, don't say, I'm sorry I'm bothering you because you're not bothering us.

Speaker 3:
[55:37] You're never bothering us.

Speaker 2:
[55:38] You're never bothering us. And we'll literally never tell you no. The only thing we'll tell you is walk with us and take a selfie with us. Because on Saturday, I'm jumping ahead a little bit, we, one of the requirements was for us to go to the activation, which was really cute. And they were like giving out slushies away, free slushies for everyone. They were giving out free the nine dollar lipglow revivers free for everyone. Like it was sickening. You got a cute bag. You got so much. So their activation was really cute. They did. They ate. Also, they were doing people's makeup in there.

Speaker 3:
[56:09] Insane.

Speaker 2:
[56:10] Full glam session. So they were doing a lot in their activation. It was really cute. I was glad we got to stop by. But the problem is it was really far out by the Sahara tent in General Mission and it closed at 8 p.m. And our obligation was that we had to be there to shoot content honestly before it closed. So, therefore, we have to go to General Mission and walk all the way through in daylight. And what happens is we get stopped like 200 times and that's fine.

Speaker 3:
[56:36] Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 2:
[56:37] We know what we're getting into, we know what we're doing, we know this is our demographics, we've been here nine times. But the problem was we waited too late.

Speaker 3:
[56:45] Yeah, we didn't have enough, like, we didn't have enough time. It was closing because I think the booths was closed. A lot of the booths will close at certain times, so they just do the rest of the night.

Speaker 2:
[56:52] It was like 7.45, and it was dusk, and we were like, we have 15 minutes or they're gonna kill us.

Speaker 3:
[56:59] You're coming with us to take a selfie while we're walking.

Speaker 4:
[57:01] So whenever they'd be like, Manny, Laura, can I have a picture?

Speaker 2:
[57:02] We'd be like, you have to walk with us.

Speaker 4:
[57:04] Come on, come on, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 3:
[57:05] If you saw us, it was so funny because we were kind of booking it.

Speaker 5:
[57:08] We were running.

Speaker 3:
[57:09] We were booking it.

Speaker 2:
[57:10] And people would be, Laura, Manny, wait, stop, we have to do pictures.

Speaker 5:
[57:14] And we were like, uh-uh, you gotta come with us.

Speaker 2:
[57:16] You gotta come with us.

Speaker 3:
[57:17] We luckily had to make it happen and we got all the things that we needed to do, but it literally was like running with you guys like this.

Speaker 2:
[57:22] It was so funny. Yep. We're like selfie. You better selfie that camera. Do not pull that G7X out. Do not do it.

Speaker 3:
[57:30] Also, what about the food pricing? Girl, even Friday, it's Friday.

Speaker 2:
[57:34] That was Friday.

Speaker 3:
[57:35] The pizza, you guys, I bought pizza from you and Laura that day. Two pieces of pizza was $52.

Speaker 2:
[57:40] We gagged when everybody said the price. We gagged.

Speaker 3:
[57:45] It was crazy. I've never seen like Coachella food prices that high before either.

Speaker 2:
[57:50] Maybe they said, how many people are coming?

Speaker 3:
[57:53] They're like, we're going to hike that up. And they did.

Speaker 2:
[57:55] Like it was crazy out there because you're trapped out there and that's the only food. And they know that they can charge whatever they want. But it was $25 per slice, $25 per slice. I will say this though, Coachella dropped the water prices. Oh, and I made a thing, water $2. Water was $2 this year. And I was like, that was actually one good thing Coachella did. They made water like dirt cheap, which I was like, thank you, Jesus. You got a big-ass bottle of water for $2.

Speaker 3:
[58:21] And I think it's really good, especially because it gets really hot out there. And I think that they were really trying to look out for their attendees.

Speaker 2:
[58:25] Instead of making a bunch of money off water, they were like, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[58:28] Exactly, which I thought was really, really awesome.

Speaker 2:
[58:29] I thought that was really good. I feel like they had also a lot more water refill stations for the cans. They had more of those this year. And this year, they redid the bathrooms for VIP completely. And they were like 20 million times better. There were mirrors and sinks. We've never had hand washing and sinks and all that. They had all that this year. So the bathrooms were way cleaner and like 10 times better.

Speaker 3:
[58:51] There was this guy, so I went to, it's random, so I know. I went to the bathroom, I went to go pee. And I was washing my hands because there's actually like a mirror, right? There's like a, and I'm standing there and I'm washing my hands under this guy next to me. And he's washing his hand and he's looking at himself so intently in the mirror. And he keeps going in, he's going like this, he goes in looking at the mirror and then he pulls out. And he's washing his hands, he would go in and then pull out. And I obviously, as I'm washing my hands, I'm kind of doing one of these like... Like I'm looking over at him because I think it's so weird that he does it. He did it maybe like six times. And I'm literally like, what the are you doing? Why do you keep going in and out, in and out, in and out? He turns to me and I have him that spoke words to me. He goes, I'm fucking rolling. And I go, I literally like, fuck yeah. I start busting up laughing. No, no, but it was like, yeah. I started laughing so hard and I just like left. It was just so funny because that's very the Coachella way.

Speaker 2:
[59:42] It is, it is. That was so funny.

Speaker 3:
[59:46] Go you. But so this is, so now like it's winding down. We already ate, we're doing it, we're gonna go to Nylon now at this point. So, they're like, okay, we're all gonna meet at the activation and then we're gonna walk to Nylon together.

Speaker 2:
[59:57] Really awesome.

Speaker 3:
[59:58] Or not walk to Nylon, we're gonna take our bus. Well, we're gonna take our bus to Nylon and we're like, okay, great, sounds good, we're gonna come meet.

Speaker 2:
[60:05] The shuttle and over.

Speaker 3:
[60:05] The shuttle, yeah, the shuttle.

Speaker 2:
[60:08] By the way, the wind is picking up so strong. At this point, they cancel Coachella. So they had another artist to go on after Sabrina Carpenter to close Coachella and they literally canceled it and they said no because the wind is too strong. I've never seen like this much dust in the air and this much wind, like I'm telling you, like we could barely walk. It was knocking us to the ground. It was crazy.

Speaker 3:
[60:27] It was crazy. It was literally insane. I was actually like shocked. I've never seen it be like this. So we're actually walking through and actually we walk through to get to the bus, we walk through the camp.

Speaker 2:
[60:37] And I have never seen the camping situation in real life before. By the way, they want us to camp one year.

Speaker 3:
[60:45] Who's they?

Speaker 2:
[60:46] Our audience. They want us to camp.

Speaker 3:
[60:50] How would we camp? Maybe this is like the safari, like the like really nice camping tents?

Speaker 2:
[60:54] No, they want us to...

Speaker 3:
[60:55] Oh, they want us to get a car.

Speaker 2:
[60:56] Yeah, they want us in car camping.

Speaker 3:
[60:58] After what I witnessed on Friday...

Speaker 2:
[61:00] I feel like that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 3:
[61:02] I don't think it's gonna happen.

Speaker 2:
[61:04] Because when we're walking through out of Coachella, we go through the campsite. I guess that's just where they led us through to get out.

Speaker 3:
[61:10] Yeah, to get out.

Speaker 2:
[61:11] And we had never really seen the campsite, but unfortunately, that's when the winds picked up and everybody's tent...

Speaker 3:
[61:17] You guys...

Speaker 2:
[61:18] Yeeted... It was just looked like... It looked like a tornado had gone through and just destroyed the whole thing. Everybody's shit was just everywhere and tents were flying through the air. People tents were like... Because, you know, they had the metal pole four-legged tents, like with the cover, they were smashed into people's cars.

Speaker 3:
[61:34] Yes, like they were like, like this, like there were four on the ground.

Speaker 2:
[61:37] Like that shit was everywhere. You guys, this was insane. And we were like, damn, this is going to suck because these people are going to come out from the concert and see all their shit's gone.

Speaker 3:
[61:46] Blown away.

Speaker 2:
[61:47] Their little homes have been blown away. I remember we watched, every year, me and you watched Want Zamora. Like we watched, cause he does car camping every year and like sets up the systemic thing. When we walked past his camp, cause we recognized it from Instagram. We saw the gray couch, the bloat couch, whatever. His shit was wrecked.

Speaker 3:
[62:04] Yes, his was also like fucking lifted off the ground.

Speaker 2:
[62:06] I was like, hey, babe, you're gonna get back to your camp. It's gone.

Speaker 3:
[62:10] No, it's, it was actually really, really crazy. Like I have just never seen the camp. First of all, I've never just seen the camps in general, but then to see other, a lot of the campsites.

Speaker 2:
[62:18] The first time we saw it, it was destroyed.

Speaker 4:
[62:20] I was like, this is hell.

Speaker 3:
[62:21] And then it's funny because we're walking by and we see like all the spots where you like, you know, we're at a shower and then you see all the spots like, you're like washing your hands and like the water fill station. And I'm like, this for me is too overwhelming. By the way, the campsite is fucking massive. The camping I go to is so big.

Speaker 2:
[62:35] It's like a thing. The thing is me and Manny, we're making a joke on TikTok. We were like, we should have put all the unidentified influencer in tents. Because it was like the Airbnb problems. We were like, put them in a tent. And we were making a joke about, we're just being stupid, we're just being stupid. It was not that serious, but only one person commented in there like, I think it's really rude. You guys said that those are poor people out there. So you just called all the campers. That is so expensive.

Speaker 5:
[63:03] And by the way, you just called them poor.

Speaker 2:
[63:05] So I think you're the fucking rude one because if you're camping at Coachella, you are not poor by any means. That is so expensive.

Speaker 3:
[63:13] You have to buy like the ticket to go get the whole thing together.

Speaker 2:
[63:16] And by the way, I know a lot of my influencer friends that are extremely far from being poor, that camp every year because that's the Coachella experience that they want to do. So I think it's more of a choice. And yeah, I'm sure some people do it because it's like cheaper to do it than a hotel. But a lot of people are out there are not poor. So for you to generalize those people and be like, these are all poor people, I think you're the problem.

Speaker 3:
[63:42] Literally, if you even say that is crazy.

Speaker 2:
[63:43] That's really rude.

Speaker 3:
[63:44] It's also very expensive. So I was like, the whole Coachella in general is very expensive.

Speaker 2:
[63:48] If you're out there at Coachella, poor is an interesting word to use because this is all an elective event activity. This is not something we're forced to do. This is a fun music festival that's actually very expensive to do. So to call those people poor, I think you're nasty.

Speaker 3:
[64:05] What about the reselling for, like, five grand for a regular GA?

Speaker 2:
[64:09] Five? Okay, people are buying GA for between three and four grand. That's not poor. No, it's not poor, babe.

Speaker 3:
[64:16] That's actually insane.

Speaker 2:
[64:18] That's insane.

Speaker 3:
[64:19] Actually fucking insanity that they're reselling for that much. But anyway, you guys, so we're walking through the campsite and we're getting to the destroyed campsite. We're walking and we're, like, getting towards, like, outside the festival and we're, like...

Speaker 2:
[64:30] Why are we outside the festival? We were, like, where's the shuttle pick up? Because last year we did the shuttle pick up and it's in the festival, like, in the gate of the festival. You don't leave the festival but at this point we're, like, starting to walk outside the festival. We, like, passed the gate. We're, like, down the sidewalk. Everybody started to, like, ask questions, like...

Speaker 4:
[64:47] -What's going on? -Like, where's the shuttle?

Speaker 3:
[64:51] Where's the shuttle? Because we just walked through the whole campsite and we're, like, not at the shuttle, right? So, we just keep walking and we're walking and walking and we're now, like, in the street, like, we're literally in, like, the street, the dirt on the side.

Speaker 5:
[65:03] -Imagine, I'm just, I'm sorry, I'm going back. I didn't mean you're camping and they think, they're like, oh, they're poor.

Speaker 3:
[65:10] Poor, poor Laura Manny. -Poor Laura Manny or poor. -Oh my god, honestly, yes. Yes. -So, we're walking and we're, like, what is going on? You guys, the fucking bus couldn't get into the thing. We ended up finding out that the shuttle-- -There's no shuttle pass.

Speaker 2:
[65:29] There's no shuttle pass. There's no shuttle pass. There's no shuttle parking. There's no shuttle entrance exit. That's not what's happening. The shuttle was parked 37 minutes.

Speaker 3:
[65:42] That is what-- -I'm gonna cry. -We're like, oh shit, so we're, like, we're, we're, this is all, this is all Friday still, so everyone's -By the way, we're just on Friday and it's been an hour. -So, everyone's fucked up.

Speaker 2:
[65:56] So, everyone's, like, fully -We have a lot of rookies with us, too. We have a lot of rookies with us. -Everyone's beat or -Laura's feet are for sure because this is still Friday night and we're walking 34 minutes. -And I did four miles to start, I did the full Coachella and I think I'm about to hot my happy ass on a shuttle and get out of there. -Yeah. -Nope. -Nope.

Speaker 3:
[66:12] And it's so funny because this is so, like, this is the Coachella way, like, this just happens.

Speaker 2:
[66:17] Shit just gets fucked randomly all the time and you're just, like... -We're like, oh, I'm gonna be real, if I would have known the journey to get to the shuttle, I would have just went to the Uber thing and called a car. But we just didn't know. We didn't know. -Also, the Uber thing now is even farther than it used to be when we walked back, bitch. -I would have just given a dude some money to get me out. -At that point, you could also give us the cash and get out of there. -Get out of there quick. -But as it turns out, we got caught, everybody's feet is basically bleeding because the walk is crazy. Like it is a 37 minute walk, which means you can do a mile in like 15, 16 minutes is normal. 17 minutes, maybe walking. So 30 miles, maybe two miles, maybe two and a half miles away. They parked it from Coachella and we didn't know that. So everybody is like, where are we going? And so I'm now convincing everyone to take their shoes off.

Speaker 3:
[67:15] Laura's, you guys, this is what makes it really funny about this is that Laura decides to take it upon herself to be like, everyone take off their shoes. Everyone's feet are fucked. Laura is like, I'm taking my shoes off. She gets Addy to take his shoes off.

Speaker 2:
[67:28] Addy was like, I am not taking my shoes off. And then two minutes later, walking in his socks, I was like, and what is this?

Speaker 3:
[67:34] Uh-huh, it was so funny. It was so funny. We ended up making like just the funniest moment of it. While we're just like, okay, everyone, we gotta be serious. And so it was, it was actually really funny, but shocking because that was the windiest night. So we're getting blown over on the street.

Speaker 2:
[67:48] It's like 20 of us basically barefoot walking down the street at one o'clock in the morning. Literally my hair. Oh, you wanna talk about that?

Speaker 3:
[67:58] You guys, so Laura, because your outfit, you have like the shawl.

Speaker 2:
[68:01] The hood.

Speaker 3:
[68:02] The hood shirt. Laura's hair when we got back to the fucking shuttle was a rat's nest.

Speaker 2:
[68:09] It was one dreadlock.

Speaker 3:
[68:11] It was a dread.

Speaker 6:
[68:12] You guys, she had one dread.

Speaker 2:
[68:14] It was just one going down.

Speaker 3:
[68:16] No, and I touched it. I was like, oh.

Speaker 2:
[68:17] It felt like a beaver tail.

Speaker 5:
[68:19] Like it, like one.

Speaker 3:
[68:20] It did. It literally was a fucking platypus back there.

Speaker 5:
[68:23] It was.

Speaker 2:
[68:24] I'm back. I'm talking about my hair was like this short. It was. Because it was so like matted up and it was one big ball.

Speaker 3:
[68:30] She was like, Manny.

Speaker 2:
[68:31] I'll try to rip it apart like this. It couldn't even break apart.

Speaker 5:
[68:34] You guys, it's going to be OK.

Speaker 3:
[68:36] So wind, dust, sweat from the back of your neck.

Speaker 5:
[68:39] Like just like it's the hook.

Speaker 3:
[68:41] This friction.

Speaker 2:
[68:43] Oh, the friction. It was actually the way my hair like this was a perfect story.

Speaker 3:
[68:46] It was truly actual dread.

Speaker 2:
[68:48] It was a dread. Let me tell you, when I felt it, I started to panic because I knew I was about to lose a lot of hair to get that out. And then we hadn't even gotten to the after party.

Speaker 3:
[68:57] Yeah. And we weren't even there that party yet. The after party was like relatively close, I think.

Speaker 2:
[69:04] It was relatively close and they had a VIP section.

Speaker 4:
[69:07] Girl, that was fantastic.

Speaker 2:
[69:08] Because all of our feet were destroyed.

Speaker 3:
[69:10] Everyone was destroyed.

Speaker 2:
[69:11] I don't care what kind of shoe you had on, it wouldn't have made what we were going through.

Speaker 3:
[69:15] Everyone was hurting. At that point, you're just kind of hurting. Everything is kind of hurting at that point, actually. Like your whole body is really hurting at that point.

Speaker 2:
[69:21] I think just the walk into Coachella on Friday night, and the walk to the shuttle along was probably between around seven miles. That doesn't even include what we walked in the festival, so you gotta think, like, you know, there's no shoe that's gonna, like, really save you there.

Speaker 3:
[69:36] No, you're just gonna be fucked regardless. Especially when you want to do a cute shoe.

Speaker 2:
[69:40] Oh!

Speaker 3:
[69:40] Cute's out the window at this point, but anyway, we ended up getting to the party. Party was honestly fantastic. It was, like, one of my favorite things of the weekend.

Speaker 2:
[69:47] It was Diplo.

Speaker 3:
[69:48] It was Diplo. Diplo was DJing nylon, like, it was insane.

Speaker 2:
[69:52] It was so sick.

Speaker 3:
[69:53] And Elf was so, like, they got his pizza, like, to send to our section. It was great.

Speaker 2:
[69:59] It was great.

Speaker 3:
[70:00] It was really great. Okay, by the way, it's also freezing. Let's talk about that.

Speaker 2:
[70:04] And nylon hoodies were going around everywhere for free. They were just, like, handing out hoodies everywhere. So that literally saved me for the rest of the night. It saved me. It saved me. Because my toe, I was basically naked. So, literally, once I got this hoodie on, I was like, I can be out here all night. I'm good. I'm good now.

Speaker 3:
[70:21] And we were there for a long time. I went to bed at 4 a.m. Yeah, that night, I went to bed at 4 a.m. as well. I think we didn't leave there till, like, what, 2, 2.30? But we still have to obviously go back over to Palm Springs.

Speaker 2:
[70:29] Which is an hour. So we got back around, like, 3.45 and then we went to bed.

Speaker 3:
[70:34] Yeah, so that was, like, our longest night. That's our longest and most intense night.

Speaker 2:
[70:40] It was fierce, guys.

Speaker 3:
[70:41] Actually, just a day in general. When Friday is that fierce, it makes it hard to do Saturday and Sunday.

Speaker 2:
[70:48] No water.

Speaker 3:
[70:50] What do you mean?

Speaker 2:
[70:50] No water at Coachella.

Speaker 3:
[70:52] Oh, girl. Just in general, getting water was just a mission.

Speaker 2:
[70:56] It was hard.

Speaker 3:
[70:56] Getting water was a fucking mission.

Speaker 2:
[70:57] Once you got out of Coachella, there was no water.

Speaker 3:
[71:01] On Saturday.

Speaker 2:
[71:02] Saturday, Saturday. What's in your notes for Saturday?

Speaker 3:
[71:05] What did we do? I just have things written down for Saturday.

Speaker 2:
[71:07] Saturday, we got up, got ready, and then we popped over to Revolve Fest for a second. And then because it was just, like, so tight with timing and everything, then we went straight to Coachella after that. It was, like, a quick one, two. We were supposed to go to Paris Hilton's party, we were supposed to go to Camp Poosh, and we weren't able to make it to any of that. Because it was just, like, it's honestly too much, because of the amount of people this year, there was too much traffic getting in and out of the parties. Like, you would literally sit in the car, in the line to be dropped off for, like, 30 minutes. So it was just, like, eating up your time. So we were like, let's just go straight to Coachella after Revolve.

Speaker 3:
[71:40] So we ended up getting Coachella around, I would say, like, 630? 630, that's the day we end up going to doing our obligations, getting everything done at the booth. We come back and this, so this is Bieber Day.

Speaker 2:
[71:53] Oh, okay.

Speaker 3:
[71:56] This is Bieber Day. And if you guys want to talk, if we thought Friday was busy, it was too much.

Speaker 2:
[72:03] It was nothing compared to Saturday.

Speaker 3:
[72:04] Saturday was actual hell.

Speaker 2:
[72:06] He's talking about paid 10 million?

Speaker 3:
[72:07] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[72:07] He's the highest paid Coachella artist ever.

Speaker 3:
[72:10] He has, like, he's broken, like, all the Coachella records by the way. Most viewed, like, Coachella, like, performances.

Speaker 2:
[72:14] Streams, most streams, most liked on, like, everything. So, that's, so it's apparently, they said he negotiated out his contract with them with no agency, so he took, like, all the money.

Speaker 3:
[72:27] No way.

Speaker 2:
[72:28] Of course, he had legal fees, but, like, he had no agent, like, he did it himself, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[72:33] I love that. Also, do you see that, though? We're saying that, like, because he had just, he had not just, but he sold his, like, music library, so that's why he couldn't, like, technically sing the songs, so he did a karaoke with that.

Speaker 5:
[72:42] Oh, I wonder if that's it.

Speaker 2:
[72:45] People make up a lot of rumors with them, so it's hard to believe anything, but that's interesting.

Speaker 3:
[72:49] It just felt like, oh, that, like, made more sense as the idea of, like, let's say playing a YouTube video with a public domain.

Speaker 2:
[72:54] I thought whenever you sell your music category, whoever you sold it to gets to now make money off licensing out those songs to different things. I don't think it had anything, I didn't think it had anything to do with you performing it because it's still, like, your song. I thought it had to do with, like, who gets the money for all the licensing out for the songs.

Speaker 3:
[73:13] I don't know, I actually don't know how all that works. I don't know, or, like, if you need approvals for even live, I don't know how that works.

Speaker 2:
[73:18] I don't know. I just saw that that was going around and I was like, okay, well, because he was playing the official music video, so, and the music was playing there, so, I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 3:
[73:26] I don't know how it worked either, but I just thought that was an interesting rumor. So, that day, you guys, was actually the craziest day. We tried to, like, post up for Bieber. It's so hard. Like, it was just so hard to...

Speaker 2:
[73:38] There were people there, like, when the doors of Coachella opened, that stood there all damn day to get a spot.

Speaker 3:
[73:45] Just to see Justin. You guys, I'm not kidding you, the fucking artist section, the VIP section, GA, everything is so blown out that it's actually, like I was saying, like, body to body, like, unbelievable, fathomable, unbelievable. Like, even that, like, I had a friend, actually, that was there, and I was talking to him in VIP and he was like, I have an artist band, like, I'm trying to get to artists, but I can't reach.

Speaker 5:
[74:09] Oh, I saw Camilla.

Speaker 3:
[74:10] I can't reach it.

Speaker 2:
[74:11] She was an artist and she could barely even see the screen. So it was just like, blown, a blowout, like an absolute blowout. Like, Justin Bieber pulls the biggest crowd ever.

Speaker 3:
[74:23] Like, it's crazy. Yeah, like, he just does.

Speaker 2:
[74:25] He just does.

Speaker 3:
[74:26] I literally was thinking, like, okay, so Justin can do this, but, like, no one can do this, so I'll be okay next year. Like, I was literally thinking, like, okay, next year will be calmer, next year will be better, like, it's gonna not be as insane, like, all that kind of shit. But this is also the day you got children checked.

Speaker 2:
[74:40] I feel like this happened to me last year, by the way.

Speaker 3:
[74:43] No.

Speaker 2:
[74:43] I swear, maybe. I can't remember everything because it was a year ago, but I'm literally standing there talking to my friends. We're standing in a little group. We're in VIP, but because Justin is about to go on, it's emptied out. We're not shoulder to shoulder because everybody is out there at the main stage. We're behind VIP where all the food is, just hanging out, talking to some friends, and this girl walks by and just shoulder checks me so hard. I'm standing beside Manny, kind of like you're now, so when she did it, it pushed me into him, and I almost knocked him to the ground.

Speaker 3:
[75:18] I almost go down, like for real.

Speaker 2:
[75:19] And all my friends, they just see it happen, and they just immediately, all of y'all started screaming at her. Everybody was like, what the, bitch? Yeah, it was this girl. She just was an asshole. Oh no, she tried to run off. But I'm like, if you're gonna be an asshole on it, take your medicine, take it, but that's not what they do. They like to shoulder check and run off. Literally.

Speaker 3:
[75:40] Also, what are you doing?

Speaker 2:
[75:42] I know, you're weirdo. You're so weird.

Speaker 3:
[75:45] It's just strange. It's like, it doesn't make sense for her to even do it because it's not like you were like in the way.

Speaker 2:
[75:49] No, not at all. I was just like standing with my friends, like not in the walkway, like I was like off to the side.

Speaker 3:
[75:55] So that thought that was like honestly kind of insane. Like that was, we're like, what the fuck is going on?

Speaker 2:
[76:00] I'm like, some people need to not be in society.

Speaker 3:
[76:04] Some people need to get bullied.

Speaker 2:
[76:07] It's true.

Speaker 3:
[76:08] I fear that when they say that, I'm like, I think that applies to some people.

Speaker 2:
[76:11] If you physically get off on pushing, shoving, hitting other people and being violent.

Speaker 3:
[76:17] Jail, bully. It's crazy. No, it was literally crazy. So that night, like we ended up staying for most of Justin's set, but then we thought, okay, let's think realistically here.

Speaker 2:
[76:28] If we're here to the end. Let's big brain this.

Speaker 3:
[76:30] If we are here to the very end.

Speaker 2:
[76:32] What happens when all of these people need to leave? Because we can do it in a fucking shuttle again. No, I'm going to say that no shuttle is out.

Speaker 3:
[76:41] We need to figure out a way to get back to Palm Springs, but not wait hours for an Uber. So we're like, we're going to get like we have, he probably has a couple of songs left. Let's boogie.

Speaker 2:
[76:54] Yep.

Speaker 3:
[76:55] So we decided to leave a little early right before his set ends because his actually started performing super late. His was actually one of the later sets. It was like Sabrina the day before where it was like earlier. So we decided, we're like, oh, you know what? We're going to just leave now. So we luckily get out of there and we get out of there in like a reasonable time. Yeah, we go out there because people are still watching the set. We left and it wasn't like that crazy of a way. Actually, it was actually pretty chill, but the walk back to get an Uber.

Speaker 2:
[77:22] Brutal, man. It's brutal.

Speaker 3:
[77:24] It's fucking hell. Like because you're not just going through like, you're not going through a paved path or anything. You're going through rocks and rubble and dust and grime.

Speaker 2:
[77:31] At night, the dust picks up so drastically that you, I mean, you're getting your ass beat out there by the wind and rubble and dust. It's crazy.

Speaker 3:
[77:38] So literally all of us, like, it was like a bunch of us ended up getting into a car and, like, we just boogied all the way back to Long Springs.

Speaker 2:
[77:43] Yeah, we just linked up with a bunch of people. We all just got a car and just like headed out. And then that was Saturday.

Speaker 3:
[77:49] That was Saturday, yeah. So that was Saturday's, like, events.

Speaker 2:
[77:52] So on Sunday, me and Manny normally go home on Sunday. We do a two-day festival and we feel like as veterans that have been there for almost a decade, like, we earn that, you know what I mean? We don't want to go.

Speaker 3:
[78:01] On Sunday, it's exhausting.

Speaker 2:
[78:03] Also, I will tell you, every single Sunday at Coachella, it's half the people because most people don't do a lot. I don't want to say most, a lot, a lot, a lot of people do not do Sunday.

Speaker 3:
[78:12] Not nearly as much.

Speaker 2:
[78:13] Not even close.

Speaker 3:
[78:14] So, like, the busy days are definitely like the Fridays and Saturdays. And then Sunday, it just, like, clears out more, like, there's more.

Speaker 2:
[78:20] A lot of people go home on Sunday.

Speaker 3:
[78:22] Yeah, they do. It's a lot of people just end up going home on Sunday. So, we end up getting ready. We glammed, we got our shit together, popped in for a second. And then, literally, when we're back, you guys, I'm sitting and I'm like, I'm hungry. Like, we need, like, at this point, I'm literally just like, eyes closing. Like, let's watch Drag Race.

Speaker 2:
[78:41] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[78:41] Can we relax? And, like, at the hotel at this point, we're like, let's watch Drag Race. We end up ordering food.

Speaker 2:
[78:46] You guys, we got a little Panda Express. By the way, we ate pure shit the whole weekend. Like, we did not have one piece of green for four days.

Speaker 3:
[78:54] We had either pizza, McDonald's.

Speaker 2:
[78:57] When I came home, I ordered bone broth and Caesar salad.

Speaker 3:
[79:00] I literally ordered both.

Speaker 5:
[79:01] I was like, both broth and a salad. I was like, my body's like...

Speaker 3:
[79:04] I literally ordered a chicken plate with salad. Like, I'm not even kidding. Like, I literally felt like...

Speaker 2:
[79:10] I need some green.

Speaker 3:
[79:11] I felt like it was coming out of my pores, bro.

Speaker 2:
[79:13] Crazy.

Speaker 3:
[79:13] My pores were sick.

Speaker 2:
[79:14] All that fast food, babe.

Speaker 3:
[79:15] It was sick. But so we ended up, like, ordering Panda Express. Didn't give us utensils. Didn't give us anything with it.

Speaker 2:
[79:20] No utensils, no soy sauce, no napkin. I'm pissed.

Speaker 3:
[79:24] Nothing. And we're sitting on Laura's bed.

Speaker 2:
[79:26] Give me a chopstick.

Speaker 3:
[79:27] No, nothing.

Speaker 5:
[79:28] A spoon and a butter knife. Anything.

Speaker 3:
[79:31] We got Panda Express plates with nothing. Laura literally has a rogue plastic fork.

Speaker 2:
[79:36] Let me tell you something.

Speaker 3:
[79:36] From a meal the day before.

Speaker 2:
[79:38] Let me tell you something. I have been in some shit out there. So anytime someone gave me a plastic cup, a plastic straw, a plastic fork or spoon, I was keeping it all, like a rat, like a fucking animal.

Speaker 3:
[79:55] A hoarding rat.

Speaker 2:
[79:55] And I was hoarding it all because this shit happens all the time where you need ice, you got nothing to put the ice in. And a straw don't exist. You're gonna eat with your hands, you need a fork. So anytime I could find any type of use, a source, a use utensil or cup, I was hoarding it all. And I would keep it in a pile in my room. And guess what? Manny's like, there's no fucking forks.

Speaker 5:
[80:20] I'm starving. How am I gonna eat rice with my hands? I was like, we're gonna have to make rice balls.

Speaker 2:
[80:25] And I literally look at him and I'm like, I have one fork and we have to take turns taking bites.

Speaker 3:
[80:31] You guys, it was so sad. It was Sunday, so we're depleted, we're dead. Literally Laura would take two bites and then I would take her fork, pass the fork. I'm eating my two bites of chow mein and fucking rice. And I'm like, what is happening? I literally at that point, I literally was like, I'm done. Like I can't be here anymore. Like I'm done. I'm sharing your fucking fork.

Speaker 2:
[80:49] Coachella makes you an animal and I say this all the time because, okay, here's the thing. I love Addy and we've been mutuals and like online, but I had never met him before. So I met him on Friday night.

Speaker 5:
[81:02] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[81:02] Okay. I met him on Friday night. I know you're right.

Speaker 5:
[81:05] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[81:05] So I met him for the first time on Thursday night. And then on Friday night, we were together in nylon party and they had brought out a couple of slices of pizza and I grabbed one so fast. I was like, bitch, give me that pizza. So I grabbed one and there are two tiny little squares on my plate. And so I'm sitting there in the, it's like two o'clock in the morning. Everyone is completely depleted. And I'm sitting there in the VIP, just eating the piece of pizza. I'm on my second slice. It's halfway down and Addy sits down beside me. He just looks at the pizza like it was like a golden nugget. He was literally like, and I just look at him and I just go here. He's like, I'm not taking your pizza.

Speaker 5:
[81:41] I was like, take the fucking pizza. He's known me for 24 hours. He's like this, it starts eating it.

Speaker 2:
[81:52] And I'm like, what other scenario in your life would you be eating?

Speaker 5:
[81:55] A person you met 24 hours ago is having pizza. Coachella at a party at Coachella.

Speaker 2:
[82:01] It turns you into a survival.

Speaker 5:
[82:05] It is survival.

Speaker 3:
[82:07] It's really one of those situations. So Sunday is done and we are just we're done.

Speaker 2:
[82:13] We're done.

Speaker 3:
[82:14] Sunday's done, but we're also done. So now we're on Monday and we have our flight back with JSX. So we, you guys, and we had to be there. Okay, so we're again, we're in Palm Springs. We fly into India. So it's a 45 minute, 50 minute drive at that point in the day.

Speaker 2:
[82:26] And they're like, you have to be here at 930 a.m. They're like, try to be here no later than 930 because the plane is taking off at 1030. And so we're like, okay, so we need to get up and leave here at 830.

Speaker 3:
[82:36] Like hella early. We're like, okay, we have to get up early. Luckily, our Sunday night was much more chill. We were able to actually like sleep and rest and get my life together, you know, on Sunday night pack. So it's Monday morning. We get there, get off of the wrong spot.

Speaker 2:
[82:53] Get dropped. By the way, I put the address in that was in the fucking brief. That's how tired I am at this point. This is how tired I am. I put the address that was in the brief and it's not the right spot. And guess what? All the other influencers got dropped off in the wrong spot too.

Speaker 3:
[83:09] No, so get this. So we pull up and I was like, I'm gonna go off and see you stay.

Speaker 2:
[83:14] You stay in the car.

Speaker 3:
[83:16] You stay in the car. No, literally. Poor Monet is in there too. What's happening? So of course, I was like, you guys come with us, like come with us, but we had no space, you guys. Our luggage at this point, it was taking up the entire thing and no space for them. So like, okay, we'll just figure out like maybe the car will come back and grab you. Like, we'll just figure it out, right? So we end up going back into our Uber. We get there. We're actually the first one is there, which is shocking because it's like 940.

Speaker 5:
[83:41] And we're like, no, no one's there.

Speaker 3:
[83:43] Where the fuck is everyone? Like, where are all the creators?

Speaker 2:
[83:44] We are the only two creators there.

Speaker 3:
[83:46] And obviously, they had shown up before. So then we're like waiting and, you know, luckily she gets picked up and she gets brought over and we're there. And you guys, by this point, it's like 1030 and influencers are trickling in. Like there's a good amount.

Speaker 2:
[84:00] So now there's like seven or eight of us that are in there and they're like, okay. And so they're like, we're missing. So the JSX people are like, we're missing a couple of influencers. Like this is their names and all of us were like, we don't know who the f- they are. And so they're like, okay.

Speaker 3:
[84:14] Can you contact them to see where they are so we can board the plane?

Speaker 2:
[84:16] And we were like, well, I just don't know the influencers. I don't know who that is. And guess what? None of the seven of us knew any of them really, so we couldn't contact them. So they're like, we're going to hold the plane till they show up. And we were like, no, no, you're not.

Speaker 3:
[84:34] Not on the fourth day, my love.

Speaker 2:
[84:35] Reef said, be here, not on the fourth day of Christ, honey. The plane takes off.

Speaker 3:
[84:40] The thing is, you cannot be like, hey, get there on 930, it's 11 o'clock now. It's 11 o'clock and expect us to wait and expect us to wait and be okay with waiting.

Speaker 2:
[84:51] No.

Speaker 3:
[84:52] You guys, everyone is responsible for themselves. You need to be responsible for your time, responsible for when you show up to things.

Speaker 2:
[84:57] And I understand being like, like, let's say they asked us to be there at 930 and the plane takes off at 1030 and it's 945.

Speaker 3:
[85:04] Or 10 even. Okay, cool.

Speaker 2:
[85:06] Let's wait.

Speaker 3:
[85:07] Let's roll in.

Speaker 2:
[85:09] It is 11 o'clock. The plane should have already left, not boarded. Landed, landed, landed. It should have actually landed because it takes 30 minutes. So it should have landed in LA. And we were sitting here waiting on these fucking influencers that were not there, like they were not there. We were pissed. Okay, so all seven of us were like, no, we're take, let's board the plane.

Speaker 3:
[85:28] When's our heart out? When's our heart out? When? How much time do we give these people that are not respecting anyone else's time? And we need to be on this plane. And also the thing is, there's people on our little flight that have connecting flights to go back home. So like they have connecting flights in Los Angeles, so we have to leave. And they're just like, okay, we'll see like how long we can wait till.

Speaker 2:
[85:46] And I'm like, we don't need to wait, is the thing. We don't need to wait. We just need to go home.

Speaker 3:
[85:51] So by like, what, 11, 15, we start boarding. Well, I thank God. Let's see, the thing is we've waited so long now.

Speaker 2:
[85:57] But now we're backed up on the jet bridge. Or not the jet bridge, on the runway. Like, we're backed up on our takeoff time.

Speaker 3:
[86:03] A lot of flights before us now, even though we should have taken off. So we're on the plane for another, like, 45 minutes, maybe?

Speaker 2:
[86:10] Just sitting there because the fucking influencers didn't show up.

Speaker 3:
[86:15] Oh, so we were getting, like, honestly, I was at my wits end. Like, I really was. Like, I was at my wits end. Oh, but you took your time, I mean, though.

Speaker 2:
[86:22] I did because it was a prop plane and I didn't know what that meant. And so, like, on the way there, I almost threw up all over the plane.

Speaker 3:
[86:29] She almost, like, honestly, like, it took strength for her to get it because she literally was, like, holding on to the fucking window. You were holding to the window like this.

Speaker 2:
[86:37] I was slowly across Manny like this, holding on to both parts and then I got covered in sweat and that's whenever I'm covered in sweat, like, because I'm always cold and I was fine and then, all of a sudden, I was soaking wet. I was like, I'm about to throw up right now on the plane. I was like, please land, please land, please land. Because prop planes is just like, they like up and down, a lot of motion on your stomach, like the up and down, the drops, like the stomach drops. So, y'all, that was a time. So I took Dramamine and it worked like a charm, but the ride was 10 times rougher on the way home.

Speaker 3:
[87:05] Oh my God.

Speaker 2:
[87:06] So I was like, thank you, Lord.

Speaker 3:
[87:07] I was even, I get like nervous a little bit with, what's it called? Turbulence? Like, I got a little nerves here and there, but I'm like, okay, I'll get through it. But this one was like kind of fierce, like it was like almost like dropping, like it was almost do like sudden, like literal drops out of the air, I felt, and I was like, oh my God, like this is, but you're in a smaller plane, so you feel it so much on a smaller plane, so we're like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, so and that we ended up landing and Tyler rescued us from the airport.

Speaker 2:
[87:35] Even though he sat there for an hour to pick us up because we left an hour late and I want more names.

Speaker 3:
[87:42] We were even passed out.

Speaker 2:
[87:42] I want identities of these influencers who didn't show up. I want names and addresses.

Speaker 3:
[87:49] And at the end of the day, like they didn't show up. So they weren't on the flight. Like it is what it is.

Speaker 2:
[87:52] Like, but you should like you got to figure that out and say I'm not coming.

Speaker 3:
[87:56] Oh, for sure.

Speaker 2:
[87:56] Like, let the team like, let the people know it's rude not to just show up because it's not. It's not like our commerce. JSX is not commercial airline flight. It's like private airline where they can like hold a plane or do whatever they need to do. So I think like if you contract it to fly there and back with them, you should just email them and said, hey, I'm not going to make it on the way back. Just a courtesy.

Speaker 3:
[88:16] Yeah, it's a courtesy thing. Can agree more.

Speaker 2:
[88:20] And that's it. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[88:21] I would say, yeah, that's Sunday. We Monday we got in.

Speaker 2:
[88:24] So what's your peak and pit of Coachella?

Speaker 3:
[88:27] Oh my God. What is my peak and pit of Coachella? Okay. My peak.

Speaker 2:
[88:30] Mine's Cat's Eye for sure.

Speaker 3:
[88:31] With Cat's Eye. And that's like 100%. And the close peak was Nylon as well because that was really fun.

Speaker 2:
[88:36] Nylon was really fun this year. Nylon was more fun this year than last year. I mean, they're from both years, but I just had a really good time there this year.

Speaker 3:
[88:42] I also like seeing Diplo there.

Speaker 2:
[88:43] That was so sick.

Speaker 3:
[88:44] DJ was like, cool, I love Diplo.

Speaker 2:
[88:45] By the way, you know, Diplo's made every song you've ever heard before. Yes, yes. So he's like so sickening. It was really cool to get to see that.

Speaker 3:
[88:52] So that was really fun. And then Cat's Eye, of course. My pit, probably like just the more walking than we've ever done.

Speaker 2:
[88:58] My pit was probably just like the crowds were so big. It was like hard to find any of your friends or like really get to do things. The service. Yeah, no, like you weren't able to get to do, we get to do so much at Coachella every year and it's so much fun and that's why we put so much into it. But this year we really like even trying to get to party stuff, you just like couldn't do anything because it was just too many people.

Speaker 3:
[89:19] Like even trying to, yeah, like you were saying, even getting to the parties, like the lines that even get into the day parties is like blown the fuck out driving into them. It was just too many things, too many people.

Speaker 2:
[89:28] So it just made it hard to like do anything at Coachella, you know what I mean? So I would say that's probably my pit.

Speaker 3:
[89:34] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[89:34] I'm dead ass when I'm not, I'm saying this. I hope next year the main artist isn't as popular as Justin Bieber.

Speaker 3:
[89:39] Same.

Speaker 2:
[89:40] Just dead ass.

Speaker 3:
[89:41] I beg because it was so hard.

Speaker 2:
[89:44] I hope they get Zara Larsson next year. I pray, but we want to go to Lollapalooz and see Zara Larsson really bad.

Speaker 3:
[89:50] That would be sick. Lollapalooz last year was so great.

Speaker 2:
[89:54] So I would love to go back again. By the way, that was one of Essence's first trips they ever did and they executed it flawlessly. It was like it was their 50th trip. Like they had it down, baby. Boom, boom, boom. Here's your wristband. Here you go. You get in here, you go here, you walk here. Here's food. Here's money. Here's the person to do your hair. Like they were on it. Yeah, they put Dr. Pepper's in my room.

Speaker 3:
[90:16] Yeah, crazy.

Speaker 2:
[90:17] So this year we want to do Lollapalooza again because it's Charlie XCX, Lord Smashing Pumpkins and Zora Larsen. It is. It's my literally like and Lollapalooza is not about the fashion, even though I will be turning.

Speaker 4:
[90:31] Of course, of course.

Speaker 2:
[90:32] It's about the music.

Speaker 3:
[90:33] It's about the music and the festival of it.

Speaker 2:
[90:35] However, I'm actually so sick of people who I know have never been to Coachella. It's only a fashion show now. It's not even about the music. You don't know that because that's a clear, clear sign that you don't go. Because if it's not about the music, then why was every single concert at Coachella blowed out so much? Because even no, even Cat's Eye and like Pink Pantherous, like you couldn't even get to the stage because people wanted to be there for the music. People were there for the music. I promise you, just because someone has a good outfit on and wants to get some content and has fun out there, doesn't mean they're not there for the music too. Two things can be true.

Speaker 3:
[91:10] Absolutely.

Speaker 2:
[91:11] You know, they can have a fashion moment and they can be there for their favorite artists. Both can be.

Speaker 3:
[91:15] And enjoy it.

Speaker 2:
[91:16] That is a possibility.

Speaker 3:
[91:17] That's also like, that's like the cool thing about there being like such a plethora of artists there. You get a pick and choose who you want to go see. That makes it fun. But then you can also do a lot of things around Coachella because there's so many things happening. So it's become more than just the music itself.

Speaker 2:
[91:31] That doesn't mean it's not about the music because like I would beg to differ because the Justin Bieber crowd was insane because of the music, because of the music. So I disagree strongly. It's about the music still. Yeah, it's just about other things too.

Speaker 3:
[91:47] Agreed.

Speaker 2:
[91:48] Is that it for us?

Speaker 3:
[91:49] I think that's it. This is a long episode. I know it's long. I just feel it.

Speaker 2:
[91:53] Yeah, yeah, y'all got the real tea today.

Speaker 3:
[91:56] The real fucking tea of what's happening. I love doing Coachella recaps though.

Speaker 2:
[92:01] Yeah, it's like one of the best episodes of the year.

Speaker 3:
[92:03] I just love doing it. It's so fun to me because I love to just be so be like, this is what fucking happened. And it was rough. Because the thing is, and if the experience was super, super easy, we would be like, oh my God, it was so easy. Like, it was so great. But it was not as easy this year.

Speaker 2:
[92:16] It wasn't. This year was a hard year.

Speaker 3:
[92:18] Very, very fucking hard. So we're being so brutally honest.

Speaker 2:
[92:20] What do you think Alex Earl is going to say to Alex Cooper?

Speaker 3:
[92:23] I'm just going to fuck her the fuck up. Oh, like low key. I think she's literally going to shred her to filth.

Speaker 4:
[92:30] Shut the fuck up.

Speaker 3:
[92:31] 100 percent. Because the thing is also when you kind of poke a bear in a way where you kind of like, she was poking, she poked Alex Cooper first, though, technically, with the reposts and the comments and the likes, like she was technically poking first.

Speaker 2:
[92:45] And then Alex Cooper called her out for the poking.

Speaker 3:
[92:48] True, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[92:49] But then she said, okay, on it. And then there's speculation she's going to destroy her. So like, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 3:
[92:54] I just feel like she's going to like really try to make a moment out of it, like a way where she's like really going in. And I'm curious of like what they're going to talk about. I really am. I want to know. We'll have to like kind of debrief on that soon.

Speaker 2:
[93:05] Girl.

Speaker 3:
[93:05] And see what happens.

Speaker 2:
[93:07] She's got to cure that hangover till the verse and then she's like on it.

Speaker 3:
[93:11] I need to cure my hangover and I don't even fucking drink.

Speaker 2:
[93:12] I know, babe. I got to go to bed.

Speaker 3:
[93:15] I need to sleep in like four days.

Speaker 2:
[93:15] Sorry if I had low energy in this episode, babe. I got a whisper left to give.

Speaker 3:
[93:19] Baby, we have a whisper. What are...

Speaker 2:
[93:22] He thinks I like Brett Michaels.

Speaker 4:
[93:24] Who's Brett Michaels?

Speaker 2:
[93:25] Don't worry about it.

Speaker 3:
[93:27] I'm going to Google that.

Speaker 2:
[93:28] Don't.

Speaker 3:
[93:29] I'm going to Google that and I will confirm or deny. It's fine. I know it's fucked. I just know it's.

Speaker 2:
[93:35] It's.

Speaker 3:
[93:36] I know it's bad. If you're saying that, I know it's fucked.
