Sophia Franklin, you are listening

0:02

to Sophia with an F

0:04

and the F is for

0:07

phenomenal. This

0:11

podcast is rated F.

0:14

Now I want to prank call everyone

0:16

on the team specifically Alex and

0:18

ask her, hey, just really quickly,

0:20

what is our YouTube? Guys,

0:23

we're calling Alex right now. Hey

0:28

Alex, Yeah.

0:31

What's the name of our YouTube? I'm

0:33

not sure. She

0:37

probably thinks I actually

0:39

was calling her to

0:42

ask her because like

0:44

somehow couldn't track it

0:46

down, which is insane. What

0:56

does a confident smile say

0:58

to you? And maybe

1:00

more importantly, what does it say about

1:02

you? With smile generation,

1:04

it says you are taking care

1:07

of more than just your teeth

1:09

because confidence doesn't start and stop

1:11

at a bright smile. It's about

1:13

your whole body wellness. Smile

1:16

Generation reimagines oral health

1:18

as the gateway to

1:20

long -term confidence. Why?

1:24

Because oral health issues have been

1:26

linked to heart disease, diabetes,

1:28

and even cognitive conditions. When

1:31

you care for your smile, you are

1:33

investing in your future. And

1:36

that confidence, it starts with feeling

1:38

supported. With Smile Generation, trusted

1:41

providers, you're not just another

1:43

patient. You are a partner.

1:46

They prioritize personal, patient

1:48

-focused care that truly

1:50

listens to you. Plus,

1:52

with education and preventative

1:54

care at the core, Smile

1:57

Generation empowers you to

1:59

understand the connection between your

2:01

mouth and your overall health so

2:03

you can stop issues before they

2:06

start. Here's your chance to take

2:08

the first step. Smile

2:10

2:12

4:30

people, welcome to Sophie O The

4:32

Nuff. I am recording from my

4:34

couch, which is where I spend

4:36

90 % of my time when

4:39

I'm home, which is 90 %

4:41

of my time when I'm in

4:43

New York. And can

4:46

you guys hear the car? This

4:48

is why I got a two bedroom apartment

4:50

so that I could use my studio. And

4:53

then I realized, okay, but this actually, this

4:55

visual, if you're not subscribed to me on

4:58

YouTube, it's just Sophia with an F. Is

5:00

that what it is? So,

5:02

back me up here. Okay,

5:10

you know what? You know what?

5:12

It's totally fine that neither me

5:14

or my assistant know what our

5:16

YouTube channel is called. But

5:18

you know what? We will definitely look

5:20

into that and we will get right

5:22

back to you guys. So,

5:26

speaking of you two, do

5:28

you have it? So? Oh, okay,

5:31

okay. This is kind of

5:33

nice because I'm like right here. I know.

5:35

Sof is... Manning the cameras and

5:38

she is a videographer right now.

5:40

It's like what can't she do

5:42

now? I want to prank call

5:44

everyone on the team specifically Alex

5:47

and ask her Hey, just really

5:49

quickly. What is our YouTube? Guys

5:57

we're calling Alex right

5:59

now She's probably at

6:02

her fucking new job

6:04

that she literally was

6:07

freaking out about. I

6:13

just need to, I need to do a full episode

6:15

of prank calling. Hi.

6:20

Hey, Alex. Yeah.

6:22

What's the name of our YouTube?

6:26

Of the YouTube? Yeah. I'm

6:30

not sure. Okay,

6:33

I love you. Bye. No,

6:37

just what's the channel call

6:39

that I put out my

6:42

podcast on Sophia Franklin

6:44

Okay Okay, okay, why did

6:46

it maybe I'm confusing with

6:49

Instagram. Okay, you're really good.

6:51

I love you She probably

6:54

thinks I jet like actually

6:56

was calling her to

6:58

ask her because like I

7:01

somehow couldn't track it down

7:06

Hey, what's that platform I've been publishing

7:08

all my content on for the last

7:11

five years? Oh my

7:13

God, I like recording out here.

7:15

This shit is fun as fuck.

7:17

And I'm also going to open

7:20

all of these Amazon packages. So

7:22

if you hear some crunching sounds,

7:24

some really obnoxious sounds in the

7:26

background, that's what's going on. I

7:30

have been obsessed with this YouTuber. I was

7:32

about to call her a new YouTuber and

7:34

I'm looking at her video and it was

7:37

posted two years ago so I don't think

7:39

that's accurate. She's like

7:41

the coziest comforting thing and

7:44

I've never been one of

7:46

those like YouTube people and

7:49

I know people got

7:51

super obsessed with it. I

7:54

never did. I never really got

7:56

into Emma Chamberlain, although I love

7:58

everything about her. Genuinely,

8:00

she's one of the few influencers,

8:02

quote unquote, that I'm obsessed with.

8:05

I never got into you two. This

8:08

girl, Caroline Winkler, she

8:10

talks about interior design.

8:12

That's kind of her

8:14

thing. She's so funny.

8:17

She is so funny. Caroline,

8:19

I'm going to reach out to you. And

8:21

by reach out to you, what I just

8:23

said is me reaching out to you because

8:25

I'm too lazy to do it in any

8:27

other way. You need to come

8:29

on the show. And we

8:32

need to do some interior

8:34

design shit together because I'm

8:36

sorry. I'm pretty good

8:38

at it. Like, I

8:40

would say this room is

8:42

the only, like, almost fully

8:45

furnished room, my living room.

8:48

The rug. The rug.

8:51

flipping through. Guys, my

8:54

vision board episode, I

8:56

was flipping through that same magazine the

8:58

other day that I have flipped through

9:01

789 times because I was pulling pictures

9:03

out of it for my vision board.

9:06

I came across

9:08

in the French

9:11

architectural digest magazine,

9:14

my goddamn rug, okay?

9:17

my exact rug

9:19

color and pattern.

9:22

And it was in French, so I

9:24

have no idea what the fuck it

9:26

said, but I'm assuming because it was

9:28

included that they kind of love the

9:30

goddamn rug, okay? And

9:32

who helped me find the rug? No

9:34

one but me. That was all me.

9:37

I can't say everything in here was

9:39

just me, but like, yeah, I fucking

9:42

can. All right, I'm grabbing

9:44

an Amazon package. I

9:46

don't think we thought this through. So

9:48

like, is it going to be so

9:50

fucking loud? Thank you.

9:54

So pointed out some very interesting

9:56

things about what I was making

9:59

my vision board, which is number

10:01

one, the slap. Like

10:03

I was straight up if

10:05

there was a backhand for

10:07

the front of your hand.

10:09

That is how I was

10:11

placing the paper on the

10:13

board. Like I was giving

10:15

it full force. I don't know. I

10:17

think because Elmer's glue sticks to this

10:20

day, I'm like, do they work? How

10:22

many times were you a little kid and

10:25

you used an Elmer's glue stick and like

10:27

your shit did not stick? 9

10:29

% of the time. Oh my God. And

10:32

then we would like get the glue stick.

10:35

Rewet. I don't know if I would lick

10:37

it. Yeah. To like make

10:39

it sticky again. Okay. This.

10:43

Guys, the reason that I'm

10:45

bringing this up is because

10:47

I have a problem and

10:49

I am an advertisers wet

10:51

fucking dream. There has not

10:53

been a moment where I

10:56

see an ad for any

10:58

kind of fast food that

11:00

I have not purchased that

11:02

day. Like when Wendy's came

11:04

out with the nugs, like

11:07

that whole line, I saw

11:09

two ads and I have

11:11

ordered the nugs like eight

11:13

times since. Do I even

11:15

know if they're good? I

11:18

have no idea. Subway,

11:21

I went on post meets. I had

11:23

no idea what I wanted. It was

11:25

between sushi and Thai, which it usually

11:27

is. And I

11:29

saw an advertisement for

11:32

a, you get a,

11:34

three chocolate peppermint footlong

11:36

brownie at Subway. I

11:39

ordered that shit three times in a row after

11:41

that. So...

11:44

So, but I

11:46

were in the

11:48

car driving and

11:51

I saw, because

11:53

there, nothing is

11:55

off limits. This

11:57

is not just

11:59

on any media

12:01

platform. If I

12:03

see a billboard,

12:06

I am purchasing it. If I have not

12:08

been hurt in a car crash, I don't

12:10

care. Like I'm calling that attorney and it

12:12

doesn't matter. And there

12:14

was a bus stop

12:16

and it literally said,

12:19

join the creators community

12:21

of New York. And

12:24

I was like, creator

12:26

queen. Am I not a

12:29

creator? Am I not part of the New

12:31

York community? I, two

12:34

seconds, I had that shit pulled up. I

12:36

ran to the website. You

12:38

could, what was it for?

12:40

It was like, you could

12:43

submit your creator New York

12:45

video. And I looked it

12:47

up and I was like, we have to go home

12:49

and make this. Are you kidding me? Like

12:52

this is such a big opportunity.

12:54

And so if just looked at

12:56

me like, bro, these are literally

12:58

people without any voices, probably five

13:00

followers who are trying to get

13:03

discovered and you're going to submit

13:05

your shit and just be like,

13:07

so what is that to do

13:09

with this Amazon package? Pinterest

13:12

will do these really fucked

13:15

up things where it will

13:17

say 50. items

13:20

on Amazon under

13:22

$50 that are

13:24

actually super cool.

13:32

Or it'll be like

13:34

70 items on Amazon

13:37

for under $25 to

13:39

make your house look

13:41

expensive. I

13:45

read those from the number one item

13:48

to the last item on the list.

13:50

I will check out every single one

13:52

that catches my eye and this one

13:54

just so happened to catch my eye.

13:57

You can never have too many extension

13:59

cords. You have

14:01

this? Okay, that's

14:04

kind of really gatekeeper. That's really

14:06

gatekeeper of you because you never

14:08

told me to get this. It's

14:10

an extension cord, but the actual

14:12

plug that would go into the

14:14

wall is flat. It

14:16

doesn't stick out. And then

14:18

it has whatever this like pad

14:21

with I hate when you go

14:23

to like a hotel and they

14:25

don't have chargers for directly for

14:27

your USBC cord. That

14:31

was the most stuck up,

14:33

ridiculous dumb thing I've ever

14:36

said. Okay, and then I

14:38

got this olive oil, you guys. And

14:41

I did pay a little bit more

14:43

for it because it's an acute thing.

14:46

It's really cute. It

14:48

better taste phenomenal because I bought

14:50

this olive oil. I really want

14:52

to say the name, but then

14:55

I just, I don't want to

14:57

ruin my relationship with them. I

15:00

don't have a relationship with them, so.

15:03

you want me to get it? I was the most. I

15:06

sound like a stage five Clinger girl

15:08

and like there's a guy that has

15:10

no idea who she is. I just

15:12

said I don't want to ruin my

15:14

relationship with this olive oil company. They

15:17

have no idea who I am. They

15:19

did not send me these for free.

15:21

I paid full price. Never

15:23

spoke with them. The

15:25

Breitland brand of olive

15:28

oil. For

15:30

two of these and this is

15:32

12 ounces it comes with a

15:34

cooking olive oil and then a

15:36

What's the non -cooking olive oil?

15:38

Okay that you put on salads

15:40

It is it was like 70

15:42

something dollars. Do you know how

15:45

pricey that is and you know

15:47

how quickly olive oil goes? I

15:50

Don't think it's that good Sorry,

15:52

I just I don't think I

15:55

have done a taste test with

15:57

it Mind you, I heard

15:59

vaping fucks with your taste buds quite a bit.

16:01

So that's another reason I'm going to add to

16:03

my list as to why I should quit. And

16:06

it's just, it's at that price

16:08

point, I expected something really phenomenal

16:11

and it's just not that. It's

16:14

just not enough about olive

16:16

oil. I

16:18

finally went

16:20

through with

16:22

this plastic

16:24

surgery procedure.

16:27

that I have been talking

16:30

about never got it, never

16:32

went through with it. That

16:35

is up until this past

16:37

Monday. Okay. And

16:40

I'm going to tell you what it

16:42

is right after. I

16:44

just want to tell you guys what it is while

16:46

it's so loud in the background. You can't even hear

16:49

what it is. Oh wait, the scissors are

16:51

right here. Also this

16:53

couch. is

16:56

a white couch and I got my

16:58

first stain on it and I'm really

17:00

sad about it. But I guess not

17:03

sad enough because have I tried to

17:05

get it out? No. So

17:07

that's, that's really interesting. I guess I forgot

17:09

I had it. Is it

17:11

embarrassing to use balsamic glaze asking for

17:14

a friend? Oh

17:17

my God, right? It

17:19

is embarrassing to use

17:21

balsamic glaze. it's

17:24

it's way better to have

17:26

the vinegar that I'm not

17:29

like but it's way better

17:31

to have the vinegar yeah

17:33

but but okay but also

17:36

I'm sorry balsamic vinegar and

17:38

balsamic glaze are two completely

17:40

different things but this is

17:43

so good it's like I

17:45

think what it seems like

17:47

is If you use it,

17:50

you're covering up whatever you

17:52

cooked. It's like adding ketchup.

17:54

It's like adding ketchup. But

17:58

I think it tastes so

18:00

good. So you know

18:02

what? Balsamic glaze needs like a rebrand. I

18:05

don't know. I don't know why it got like such a

18:07

bad rep. It's like the best shit ever. Listen.

18:17

Flat chest need love

18:19

too and nothing loves

18:21

your body more than

18:23

skims. I am proud

18:26

to say that the cleavage

18:28

is real thanks to my

18:30

skims ultimate push -up bra.

18:33

I am no stranger to

18:35

push -up bras but

18:37

I can say this is

18:40

the first skim push -up

18:42

bra to lift and accentuate

18:45

without flattening me out

18:47

or falling down every two

18:49

seconds, to the point that

18:52

I'd be wearing it

18:54

as a regular, everyday bra

18:56

people. It stays

18:58

in place without being constricting,

19:01

only flattering, which is really

19:03

great because I need a

19:06

little help in the breastists'

19:08

department. Shop the

19:10

skims ultimate bra collection and

19:13

19:15

you place your order, be sure to let

19:17

them know I sent you. Select

19:19

podcast in the survey and be

19:22

sure to select my show in

19:24

the dropdown menu that follows. Let's

19:27

be real, finding truly

19:29

clean and effective supplements

19:31

can feel like a

19:33

treasure hunt. There's thousands

19:35

to choose from, different

19:37

variations, different standards, and

19:39

who has the time?

19:42

I like knowing what I'm

19:44

getting is quality and science

19:47

-backed. And I like symbiotica.

19:50

If you're a mom listening, here's

19:52

your reminder to treat yourself this

19:54

Mother's Day And if you're

19:56

shopping for someone who deserves a little self

19:58

-care, symbiotica is such a

20:01

thoughtful way to show them you

20:03

care. And if there is

20:05

one supplement to rule them all, in

20:08

my opinion, It would

20:10

be Magnesium and Symbiotica's

20:12

Magnesium L -308 hits

20:14

different. Like it

20:16

just does. It helps me

20:19

stay calm and focused even

20:21

on crazy scary days like

20:24

today. But my favorite part,

20:27

no pills, just squeeze, go

20:30

and enjoy. They're so easy

20:32

to take on the go, whether

20:34

I'm traveling or just running errands

21:18

I, a year ago, went

21:21

to see Dr. Laffer

21:24

shout out because I

21:26

wanted to get ear

21:28

lobe repair. What

21:30

is ear lobe repair? Basically,

21:34

I was telling my personal trainer about it

21:36

this morning. He's like, I'm sorry, you got

21:38

what done? Like it sounds crazy. I'm

21:43

like, oh, I just got a little procedure done.

21:46

Um, this is equally as boring.

21:48

I like the first package and

21:50

I want my stool. Where's my

21:52

stool? That's what I want to

21:54

open up. I'm going to get

21:56

back to earlobe repair. I swear

21:58

to God. I ordered a stool

22:00

for my shower because there's literally

22:02

just no room for me to

22:04

put any of my products. And

22:07

I will check the dimensions before

22:09

I buy things because I'm an

22:11

adult and that's what you do.

22:14

This stool is a stool

22:16

for ants. Like

22:18

it is, it is a stool made

22:20

for a dollhouse. Like when I, when

22:22

I figured out the measurements, but then

22:25

I was looking into it and a

22:27

shower stool is like it should just

22:29

be at a height that's good enough

22:31

for your foot so you can shave

22:33

your legs. I have no idea, but

22:35

it's the cutest thing and it's probably

22:37

going to look super weird and awkward

22:40

in my shower and I probably will

22:42

have to return it. I don't care.

22:44

I probably like the fact that it's

22:46

many, okay? That's my downfall. The

22:48

ear lobe. I went in a year

22:51

ago, she looked at

22:53

my ear hole. Not

22:57

the ear hole that like you clean with a

22:59

Q -tip. The ear hole

23:01

that you got when you pierced

23:03

your ears, when you were in

23:06

kindergarten or whatever, the fuck girls

23:08

are getting their ears pierced. over

23:12

the years for me going to

23:14

sleep with big ass hoop earrings

23:17

and doing whatever else I do.

23:20

It's like I've ripped it over time

23:22

and I just, I wanted to get

23:24

it fixed. I chickened

23:27

out. I don't know why.

23:29

Oh, I do know why. It's because she

23:31

said you can't wear earrings for six weeks.

23:34

Like. God forbid

23:36

after I have kids, when I actually

23:39

wanna get like some real shit done,

23:41

like some serious shit, and she's gonna

23:43

be like, oh, and you can't, you

23:46

know, go out, you can't

23:48

go to Coachella for three and a half weeks.

23:50

I'm gonna be like, you know what, just call

23:52

the whole thing off. Just call

23:55

the whole thing off really

23:57

I can't wear earrings for

23:59

six weeks. Oh my god

24:01

Devastating like that is why

24:03

I didn't get this done

24:05

for a year you guys like

24:07

anything that is just a minor

24:09

minor inconvenience I'm like can't do

24:12

it not gonna do it won't

24:14

do it so I don't

24:16

know I think this last time

24:19

Why have I continued to see

24:21

her because now she gives me

24:23

Botox which? She gave me that

24:26

day. So I went in for

24:28

ear lobe repair. I left with

24:31

Botox and this past week I

24:33

got Botox and we were talking

24:36

about the ear and maybe I'm

24:38

just like, I don't

24:40

know. Like there's just, I

24:43

think because maybe

24:46

I actually think.

24:49

that there's some big milestones that might

24:51

be happening, but I also at the

24:53

same time don't think they're gonna be

24:56

happening anytime soon. I'm a little bit

24:58

all over the place. And if you

25:00

guys thought me no sense, I'm referring

25:03

to just any milestone that you think

25:05

would be a big milestone when you're

25:07

my age, you know? 25,

25:11

yeah. When you're about 25

25:13

years old, just think of any

25:16

milestones around there, around that age.

25:19

This is the

25:21

thing is I

25:23

got it done

25:25

and I have

25:28

a totally different

25:30

outlook on plastic

25:32

surgery since getting

25:35

this incredibly minor.

25:38

procedure done. Like even me sitting here

25:40

saying like, oh my God, I got

25:42

plastic surgery. Like people are gonna be

25:44

like, you're a dumb bitch. Like can

25:46

you stop referring to it like that?

25:48

Like you got a little earring hole

25:50

fucking sutured up. Like you got a

25:52

couple stitches because you're an idiot. I

25:55

justified it thinking, okay,

25:58

I already mutilated my ear. I

26:01

don't think it's natural for us

26:03

to be getting our ears pierced

26:05

in the first place. So

26:08

me going back in there

26:10

and trying to fix and

26:12

undo what's been done already

26:14

is just like, you know,

26:16

it's already, we already mutilated

26:19

and defiled that area. Like

26:21

we can continue to do

26:23

it. It's not a huge

26:25

deal. Today

26:28

was the first time that

26:30

I saw the back of

26:33

my ear. Like I've

26:35

been having to clean it and

26:37

like put this antibiotic that is

26:39

not an antibiotic like an ointment

26:41

on it twice a day. And

26:45

I saw,

26:47

because Sof's here, I

26:50

could see that there was like some bruising

26:52

and then Sof was like, dude, let me

26:54

take a picture. I

26:57

was heartbroken. Just

27:07

seeing this one tiny

27:10

part of my body,

27:12

which is my earlobe

27:14

bruised and being like

27:17

blue and purple and

27:19

whatever, that

27:22

made me second

27:24

guess the whole

27:26

fucking system. I

27:28

don't know. Like if I'm having

27:31

that kind of reaction to such

27:33

a tiny part, of

27:35

my body and it's like not that fucking

27:37

serious. What kind of

27:39

reaction am I going to have when I want to

27:41

get my boobs done? When I

27:43

want to get something done on my

27:46

face when I want like it's I

27:48

don't know. But I wanted to cry

27:50

for my ear lobe. What?

27:54

It didn't ask for that. It didn't ask

27:56

for that. I mean, it is like on

27:58

me. So it's like, I would assume. I

28:01

don't know what it was like. Why did it make

28:03

you, cause you had a similar reaction, right?

28:06

It looks like a pop, it looks, it just

28:08

looks so helpless. Like I saw, like it looks

28:11

like a little pinky. A

28:13

pinky? Yeah. Like a pinky finger?

28:15

If your pinky like was bleeding or something,

28:17

aren't you kind of like, oh my little

28:19

pinky, like it is. Oh yeah, yeah. a

28:22

little bit, but I

28:24

think it's you are

28:26

inflicting this thing onto

28:28

your poor body. This

28:30

is also coming from

28:32

the girl who vapes,

28:35

who drinks like a

28:37

fish sometimes. I actually

28:39

haven't had a drink

28:41

in like a fucking

28:43

minute and won't sleep.

28:46

And really I treat my body I

28:49

just went off about how I won

28:51

these and subway. So the fact that

28:54

I'm going on and on about like,

28:56

oh my God, like you're going, you're

28:58

inflicting pain on your body, but it

29:00

was just, you know, this little thing

29:03

was very eye opening for me. Now

29:06

catch me when I

29:09

fucking hate. some

29:11

aspect of my body and I

29:13

will not even think twice and

29:15

I will be under the knife

29:18

in two seconds and I won't

29:20

care but like I do think

29:22

we have normalized plastic surgery so

29:25

much to the point that I

29:27

didn't even I don't even know

29:29

what I was expecting like I

29:32

didn't even think there was gonna

29:34

be bruising and this is for

29:36

something so minuscule I will say

29:38

TMI don't care After

29:41

the procedure, I had like

29:43

a really shitty night's sleep.

29:45

I was so tired. I

29:48

just like passed out. I

29:50

don't even remember falling asleep

29:52

and I woke up and

29:55

there was blood on my

29:57

sweater and then I went

29:59

to like go like tuck

30:02

my hair behind my ear

30:04

and my hair had matted

30:06

to the sutures. in

30:09

the back of my fucking ear, and

30:11

that was like, I,

30:13

you know, I felt like really independent. I felt

30:15

like a really big girl. You know what I

30:17

did? You think I called my mom? You think

30:19

I called a friend to come over? Nope, I

30:21

marched into the bathroom. I cleaned

30:24

it. The hair came out. It

30:27

was totally fine, but

30:29

yeah. So that's, that's,

30:31

those are just my

30:34

thoughts. I just can't

30:36

imagine. what

30:38

it's like if you got

30:40

like a seriously major, quote

30:42

unquote, I don't know what

30:44

major procedure would look like,

30:46

but shit is, it's not

30:48

a joke. Like cutting open

30:50

your body is not a

30:52

joke. I don't hate plastic

30:54

surgery. I'm just saying it

30:56

brought some serious perspective. Okay

30:59

guys, we've got our last

31:01

Amazon box. Oh,

31:09

what's this you might be wondering? Just

31:12

a double boiler for my

31:14

new candle making business. That's

31:16

what that is. It's a lot smaller

31:18

than I thought it was gonna be.

31:21

Why do I keep buying

31:23

shit on Amazon? And it's

31:25

showing up in the miniature

31:27

version for literal Barbies to

31:30

use. You guys understand

31:32

that I bought a soup ladle

31:34

and the ladle was the size

31:36

of my eyeball. Like, that

31:38

is how big it was. And

31:41

I'm like, okay, I didn't

31:43

know I had to check the fucking

31:45

dimensions of a ladle or a double

31:47

boiler. I think that's what that shit

31:49

is called. I

31:52

love how shit talking mini stuff.

31:54

Look at my little mini brush. Okay,

32:00

can I tell you what this

32:03

brush is for? Guys,

32:06

this is... a

32:08

mini detangler brush.

32:11

Okay. And I had incredible reviews and

32:13

the brush is like the size of

32:15

my palm and it's the cutest color

32:17

ever. Now

32:19

that I just travel all

32:21

the time, I literally am

32:23

going to be traveling like the same I've ever

32:25

traveled, which is pretty fucking frequently. I

32:28

am like, if I have

32:30

to think. to myself before

32:33

getting on a plane. Oh

32:35

my God, make sure that you pack

32:37

your razor, make sure you pack your

32:39

brush. There are just things that I

32:42

need in mini form because I will

32:44

avoid a trekking bag to a degree

32:46

that's, I don't know if you guys

32:48

saw me go to Paris. I

32:51

took a, purse, bigger,

32:54

almost double the size of a carry

32:56

-on suitcase on top of my carry

32:58

-on. And Delta really hated me and

33:00

I don't care. Anyways, so I

33:02

got a little mini brush and I'm, it's

33:05

so cute, right? I like want to use

33:07

it. I want that

33:09

bag to be like, oh my

33:11

God. Hey, these are, you know what, these

33:13

aren't mini. These

33:15

are little pictures

33:18

that, do I

33:20

need these? No, but like look

33:22

at how cute. You

33:25

would think this is just like

33:27

a full ad for Amazon. Okay,

33:30

but think about like if I'm having coffee

33:32

and like someone's here and I want to

33:34

put almond milk in one. Okay,

33:37

I got these two glass

33:39

pitchers. Once again, they're like

33:42

the size of my palm.

33:44

They're mini versions. Like they're

33:47

what you would put coffee

33:49

creamer in and So

33:51

for what else would you put in these? A

33:53

sauce? Yeah. My balsamic glaze

33:56

so that they don't know I'm using

33:58

balsamic glaze. Well, it

34:01

has a little spout on it,

34:03

but they're really cute. And

34:06

if I'm purchasing something off

34:08

Amazon, you

34:10

know, like there is

34:12

something you need to know about

34:15

me. I love a good deal.

34:17

I will spend money and not

34:19

care when I probably should, but

34:21

if I'm buying something like a

34:24

little mini picture, it was at

34:26

a great cost. Oh,

34:28

this is what one would call

34:30

a backup olive oil. In

34:37

case we

34:39

got a

34:42

troubleshoot, the first

34:44

one, you know what I mean? Look

34:46

how cute this is. I don't

34:48

buy olive oil based on the

34:50

cuteness of the bottle. However, these

34:52

did sound out to me and

34:54

they did have incredible reviews and

34:56

we're gonna do a taste test.

34:59

We're gonna do an olive oil

35:01

taste test. This one's cuter than

35:03

the blue one. Which one's cuter?

35:05

Okay, and that is the end

35:07

of our Amazon unboxing. I

35:10

think I'm gonna move this party to

35:12

the studio because I have something

35:16

I want to talk about and I don't

35:18

really know what's like the best way to

35:20

talk about it, which is

35:22

a fight that I

35:25

got into, but the

35:27

fight was with someone I may or

35:29

may not be in a relationship with.

35:31

I don't fucking know. Okay, we're moving

35:33

it. I

35:41

absolutely love shopping.

They pay Rakuten to send

38:00

I am in my studio

38:02

that I pay an exorbitant

38:04

amount of money for because

38:07

it means that I moved

38:09

in New York which is

38:13

not a cheap thing to

38:16

do and we do a

38:18

craft every episode you guys

38:20

and this episode is no

38:22

38:27

would argue it's harder. We're

38:29

38:32

now I'm fishing out from

38:34

a plastic bag all of

38:37

38:41

the shit that I have

38:44

38:46

puzzle and that's what we're

38:48

doing. which I mean

38:51

I'm sorry if you started

38:53

puzzle? What is the picture? hybrids

39:34

so there's like a rabbit

39:36

Bottom half and a cat

39:39

for the top half. There

39:41

is a deer But

39:44

the body is a bird. There

39:46

is a lizard and the

39:48

bottom half is a scorpion.

39:51

And this is reminding

39:53

me. Guys, I'm rewatching

39:56

girls right now. I

39:59

didn't realize how

40:01

funny and brilliant

40:03

girls is. I

40:05

watched it so long ago. I

40:07

feel like when it First came

40:09

out so it couldn't have been

40:12

that long ago because I'm 24

40:14

25 But the show is I

40:16

remember watching it and not thinking

40:18

Anything of it and now that

40:20

I'm rewatching it. I am laughing

40:22

out loud. I just remember this

40:25

scene when Hannah

40:28

is a substitute teacher, and

40:30

then she gets pulled into the office with

40:33

the principal. And he's like, you

40:35

need to stop talking to these kids. They're

40:37

your friends, and they're such a thing as boundaries.

40:39

And she's like, I don't talk to them like

40:42

they're my friends. And then he starts quoting things

40:44

that the kids have said, she said. One

40:46

of the quotes being, Mr.

40:49

Jones, the gym teacher, has

40:51

a phantom centaur butt. A

40:54

centaur. Wait,

40:58

a centaur is half man,

41:00

half horse, right? And

41:02

then he asks her about it and she's

41:04

like, he's like, I'm assuming that was supposed

41:07

to be a joke. And she said, well,

41:09

I mean, it's kind of a joke, but

41:11

really what it is is when guys have

41:13

such a big butt that it looks like

41:16

it's not even part of their body and

41:18

doubles down on it. And that's such a

41:20

thing. Like guys with a bubble butt, it

41:22

looks like it's detached from their body. More

41:26

so than on a girl. I don't know why,

41:28

but anyways. So I

41:30

have a puzzle and I'm realizing

41:32

now this for some reason candle

41:34

making is like, I could do

41:36

that with my eyes closed. You

41:38

know what I mean? Like

41:41

that is child's play. Puzzles

41:44

on the other hand, this, this

41:46

seems like kind of a gnarly

41:48

thing to embark on. Anyways,

41:52

I have a. few things that I want to jump into.

41:55

Before I do, I need

41:57

to talk about my spending habits,

41:59

which I kind of just touched

42:02

on. I'm going to get

42:04

kicked off eBay. I'm

42:06

going to get kicked off

42:09

eBay, which is my favorite

42:11

website to shop on in

42:13

the entire world. And I'm

42:16

using shop extremely loosely because

42:18

the way that I treat

42:21

eBay is not exactly

42:24

shopping. And I'm to

42:26

explain why. So if would

42:28

you say that I'm reckless with how

42:30

I spend money? Or do you think

42:33

I'm very smart or somewhere in between?

42:35

Not like reckless, just like impulsive,

42:38

but like you budget for being

42:40

impulsive. I love

42:42

how they're really good with money or

42:44

somewhere in between. Just like, we're not

42:46

options for you. You're like, not reckless,

42:48

but like whatever that one is, like

42:50

the bad one. Okay,

42:52

but I budget, I keep it in

42:55

mind, like my reckless spending. I

42:57

don't think it's reckless and you guys can

42:59

be the judge of that. I

43:02

found myself getting

43:04

into this kind

43:06

of crazy adrenaline

43:09

junkie thing and

43:11

I was going

43:13

on eBay. If

43:16

you have ever looked

43:18

into a Birken Hermes

43:21

bag, those are

43:24

investments. Period.

43:27

They literally hold their value more than

43:29

like the S &P 500. So if

43:31

you're trying to decide if you want

43:33

to put money into the stock market

43:35

or into an Hermes bag, I'm

43:38

gonna say Hermes. And on top

43:40

of that, you can use and

43:43

wear your investment. I

43:45

love how I'm already just like

43:47

trying to justify my behavior before

43:49

I even told the fucking story.

43:52

I went on eBay. I

43:54

was looking perusing. I wasn't even, I

43:56

was just, it was window shopping. And

43:59

I was looking at Kellys. I

44:02

was looking at Birkins. Those are

44:04

both different Hermes bags. And

44:07

I saw

44:10

that. I

44:13

couldn't bring myself to really

44:15

justify purchasing the bag. And

44:17

if you guys have ever

44:19

been on eBay, most

44:22

of the items you can bid on.

44:24

So they have like their sale price,

44:26

then you can go in and bid

44:28

on them. And then there's like a

44:30

third option that's like, I don't even

44:33

know what the fuck the third option

44:35

is. I found

44:37

myself in this, it was

44:40

like a heroin addict, discovering

44:42

a needle on the sidewalk, it

44:45

was like, so I can

44:47

only compare this to what I think

44:49

people with gambling addictions have, because I

44:52

think this is like a version of

44:54

it, but for me, I

44:57

just went fucking crazy.

44:59

I like went into

45:01

this manic state on

45:03

eBay, where I put

45:05

in bids on like

45:08

fifth... Birkenbags. Can I

45:10

afford to buy 15

45:12

Birkenbags? No, but what

45:14

I was doing is

45:16

I was lowballing the

45:18

fuck out of these

45:21

people. I'm gonna get

45:23

kicked off the eBay.

45:25

This sounds actually horrible.

45:28

And by the way, I had

45:31

every intention of paying the money

45:33

if my bid was picked up

45:35

because what I was doing is

45:38

I was coming in at 50

45:40

% below sale price. And

45:43

they give you an option too. Like when

45:45

you're going to put in a bid, they're

45:47

like, would you like to go 5 %

45:49

below, 10 % below or 15 % below?

45:52

Nope. I'm going to put in

45:54

my own number. I'm going to

45:57

go 50 to 75 % below.

46:00

And let me just paint a

46:02

picture for you. A Birkin bag

46:04

is anywhere from 12. Well, I

46:06

guess there's like Some really,

46:09

I mean, I guess you could

46:11

get one for like eight, which

46:13

would mean it's in horrible condition

46:15

and in a not good color

46:17

and in a crazy size and

46:19

whatever. There's a whole

46:21

method to the madness, but

46:23

they range from anywhere from

46:26

like eight grand, which I

46:28

would never up to 500

46:31

grand. And I was putting

46:33

in bids like for 10

46:35

grand, 15 grand. because

46:38

I knew if I was able, if they

46:40

took my bid, then I would be

46:42

able to turn around and sell it

46:44

and make a profit like next day type

46:46

shit, which is not what I was

46:48

gonna do eBay. I was gonna wear

46:50

the purse and I was gonna rock it.

46:53

But I found myself in a

46:55

situation where I, if for whatever

46:58

reason, the people selling the bag,

47:00

it's like, I don't

47:02

know, three of those people decided to take

47:04

me up on my offer. I would have

47:06

been in some serious shit. I

47:09

would have had to like, I've

47:11

never done this, but I've heard

47:13

people do this, like call American

47:15

Express and claim fraud. If

47:18

I didn't think I was getting kicked off eBay

47:20

before, now I really

47:22

just solidified it. Guys, this

47:24

studio that you see before you, if you're

47:26

watching me on YouTube, Sophia

47:28

Franklin, I don't think that's the YouTube channel

47:31

still, but I will circle back. This

47:34

is not what it's

47:36

going to be. I've

47:38

got big fucking plans,

47:40

but I digress. I'm

47:42

ready to talk about

47:44

my adventure in Switzerland,

47:46

and I'm here to

47:49

give you guys an

47:51

update on my Ski.

47:55

What does fortitude mean? Could

47:59

I say my ski fortitude?

48:01

That would have worked. See,

48:04

anytime I want to try to use a

48:06

word that I don't know 100%, I really

48:08

should just rock it. I

48:11

was talking with my dear,

48:13

sweet, amazing employee, Alex. I

48:15

almost called her my cousin.

48:17

She is also my cousin,

48:19

but an employee first. That

48:22

work always comes first. She's

48:25

really good at skiing. I

48:27

thought I was really good

48:30

at skiing. And then I

48:32

went to Zermatt, Switzerland, where

48:34

people are really, really, really

48:37

fucking good at skiing. And

48:40

I grew up snowboarding. And

48:43

learning how to snowboard is

48:45

more difficult than learning how

48:47

to ski. Getting good. Getting

48:51

intermediate at those things,

48:54

snowboarding way easier

48:56

to, no, yes.

48:59

Snowboarding's harder to learn,

49:02

way, way, way easier

49:04

to master. And I'm

49:06

using master incredibly loosely.

49:10

Skiing, I thought skiing was the same

49:12

shit. So when I put skis on

49:14

for the first time, I genuinely thought,

49:17

I was like intermediate already. I'm like, oh

49:20

my God, this is like, I remember snowboarding.

49:22

I would like fall on my ass every

49:24

time. I am not

49:26

an intermediate skier. I am

49:29

a beginner skier. Did I

49:31

make that clear to the

49:33

person I went on the

49:35

ski trip with? No,

49:38

because I didn't even know myself,

49:40

you know, call it denial. I

49:42

don't fucking know what it was,

49:45

but... I told him I was

49:47

an advanced beginner is what I

49:49

said. He took that

49:51

as like intermediate and I was

49:53

being modest and whatever. Bottom

49:56

line, we're in Zermatt. We

49:59

get to our hotel and

50:01

it is fairytale land. Switzerland

50:03

arguably is more majestic in

50:06

the winter than in the

50:08

summer. And we

50:10

go up the mountain the

50:13

next day. Kudos to everyone

50:15

who skis. Now I'm obsessed

50:18

with it. Now I want

50:20

to really hone in and

50:23

get good at it. But

50:25

Switzerland, Zermatt

50:28

specifically, is

50:30

for intermediate to advanced

50:32

skiers. Am I an

50:35

intermediate skier? Fuck no.

50:37

I've gone a total

50:39

of six times. And

50:42

at that point in my skiing

50:44

career, I had gone a total

50:46

of three times, okay? And

50:48

let me just tell you, those three times

50:51

I went skiing, you know

50:53

who my instructor was? My little

50:55

brother, who also broke his collarbone

50:57

when we went, because

51:00

he skis like a crazy person, but

51:02

he's incredibly good at skiing. He's like

51:04

doing backflips and crazy shit, okay? And

51:07

then Alex's boyfriend and... love them

51:09

to death and they're super helpful

51:12

and amazing, but they're not

51:14

ski instructors, okay? All I'm trying to say, I'm

51:16

not trying to put the blame on them. All

51:19

I'm saying is, you

51:21

know, a ski instructor will tell you one thing,

51:24

I... asked my brother if I'm

51:26

supposed to have like my legs

51:28

bent and he was like, yeah,

51:30

like a little bit. That's the

51:32

whole fucking point of skiing is

51:34

that you don't have your legs

51:36

straight. So I'm just saying, you

51:38

know, my instructors were incredible in

51:40

their own way, but I was

51:42

not ready for this shit. However,

51:47

the guy and when I say

51:49

the guy, let's give him a

51:51

name. I'm going to call him

51:53

James. The whole

51:56

thing between James

51:58

and I almost

52:00

completely ended with

52:03

a period vanish.

52:05

Like our whole

52:07

relationship basically was

52:09

a millisecond away

52:12

from being completely

52:14

and in perpetuity

52:16

over. And

52:19

I'm not exaggerating because what I just

52:22

said right there is what I said

52:24

to him to his face when this

52:26

shit went down. And

52:28

we almost ended things on

52:30

the top of a mountain.

52:33

And when I talk about

52:35

foreshadowing, I said,

52:38

in that episode before I left

52:40

for Switzerland, I like made

52:42

a joke, like, oh my God, I guess

52:44

we'll see how good I am at skiing,

52:46

like watch it be like the end of

52:48

our relationship, whatever, I like made a joke.

52:51

No, that shit, I like manifested

52:54

the shit that went down in

52:56

Zermatt. So we

52:58

are skiing and

53:00

he gets an

53:02

instructor for us.

53:05

And it's this very amazing

53:08

shout out Ollie. He

53:10

was really great. He

53:13

is German. He didn't

53:16

speak the, actually spoke really good English. I

53:18

love how the Americans like, I don't know

53:20

how good their English was. Do you think

53:22

I know a fucking lick of German? Like

53:25

I kind of know Spanish and like

53:27

that's it. Whether

55:46

had told the ski instructor that

55:48

I was intermediate. So

55:50

right there I was fucking pissed and I

55:53

was like, I said

55:55

advanced beginner. Those are

55:57

very different things. We

56:00

meet up with a ski instructor. We're at the

56:02

top of the mountain. The

56:04

ski instructor's very German. I'm like, does he

56:06

know I'm 20 % Jewish? Can he just

56:08

tell? I don't even know if I can

56:11

go through with this. I'm freaking the fuck

56:13

out. Very clearly, just

56:15

after the first run, it

56:17

became evident that this ski

56:19

instructor was going to have

56:21

to instruct me and not

56:23

so much us, you know,

56:25

together as a couple. It

56:27

was very much you're in

56:29

this kind of range of

56:31

skiing, which is very much

56:33

advanced. Sophia, not

56:36

in that group. So

56:38

I just already felt little bit

56:41

embarrassed and just I felt like

56:43

shit because at this stage I'm

56:45

not that close with James like

56:48

I don't know him that fucking

56:50

well and God knows what has

56:52

actually come out of my mouth

56:55

when it comes to skiing like

56:57

I probably I honestly probably was

57:00

like oh my god I'm from

57:02

Utah like I'm fucking I am

57:04

good like I am good to

57:07

go so when it

57:09

was super fucking evident that

57:11

I'm not good to go

57:13

and there's people flying past

57:15

me. I was already in

57:17

a heightened state. I

57:20

had a little bit of anxiety. All

57:23

the people in Switzerland are just fucking

57:25

cool. They're all dressed

57:28

cool. And then here

57:30

I am and I'm learning how

57:32

to French fry instead of pizza

57:34

down the mountain. That

57:37

was fine. And you know what? James was

57:39

like so supportive the whole time. I kept

57:42

telling him to leave. And I was like,

57:44

can you just leave me here with Ollie

57:46

so I can learn some shit on the

57:48

mountain so I can shred a little bit?

57:50

You're cramping my style. And

57:52

he was like, I don't think he even knew

57:55

how to take that. Lunch

57:58

comes around. And

58:01

lunch in Switzerland.

58:04

is whatever you want it

58:06

to be, but it's definitely

58:08

a turn up situation. At

58:10

least I thought it was.

58:14

And the thing is, is

58:16

a lot of these places

58:19

in Zermatt, you have to

58:21

ski to, okay? So

58:24

we ski to this

58:26

lunch spot. Once again,

58:29

it's just, it's so cool. And

58:31

I Everyone there knows

58:33

how to fucking ski. I don't

58:35

know if that's true. I'm probably

58:38

I probably was just like in

58:40

my feels and just feeling insecure

58:42

It seemed that way though We

58:44

go and we meet up with

58:46

a bunch of his friends and

58:48

they're from London and one of

58:50

them goes to Cambridge No, excuse

58:53

me. She doesn't go to Cambridge.

58:55

She teaches at Cambridge University They

58:57

all have these super intellectual big

59:01

boys and big girl

59:04

jobs. And I'm not

59:06

saying this isn't a big girl

59:08

job. It definitely is. And, you

59:11

know, I love my fucking

59:13

job and I love being

59:15

like, do I love saying

59:17

I'm a podcaster at lunches?

59:19

No, but I am super

59:22

secure about my success and

59:24

my job in that situation

59:26

where we're like talking about

59:30

this other girl at the table, her

59:32

major, which is AI ethics. And we're

59:34

just like, all of these people, I'm

59:36

like, I need to go

59:38

home and read a book. Like that

59:40

is how I felt. I felt a little

59:43

bit like a fish out of water. They're

59:46

European, they're fucking educated. I

59:48

barely graduated college. I was

59:50

just feeling a little bit

59:53

out of my element, okay?

59:56

Just to give you

59:58

guys... Some insight what

1:00:01

my mental was looking

1:00:03

like it wasn't great,

1:00:05

but it wasn't bad

1:00:08

We didn't leave lunch

1:00:10

and the lift is

1:00:12

backed up beyond belief

1:00:15

the line is so

1:00:17

fucking long and We're

1:00:19

skiing James and I

1:00:22

and all of a

1:00:24

sudden James flies passed

1:00:28

me, cuts in front

1:00:30

of this line, and

1:00:33

there I see two people,

1:00:35

AKA his friends from lunch,

1:00:37

that he just cozied up

1:00:39

to, and I'm left in

1:00:41

the fucking dust. I don't

1:00:43

know how to ski. It's

1:00:46

packed. People are acting crazy trying

1:00:48

to get on the lift. When

1:00:50

he did this, you guys, I

1:00:53

saw red. could

1:00:56

not see. The anger that took over

1:00:58

my body, I couldn't do anything because

1:01:00

like his friends were there and I

1:01:02

wasn't about to act crazy in front

1:01:04

of his friends that I just met.

1:01:08

But I felt like I

1:01:10

could melt holes through the snow

1:01:12

with my eyes, okay? So

1:01:16

I hear James and he's like,

1:01:19

Yeah, come up here. And he's trying

1:01:21

to get my attention. I finally look

1:01:23

up. I make eye contact with one

1:01:25

of his friends, which was this other

1:01:27

guy. And even his friend,

1:01:29

I swear to God, made a face. Now

1:01:32

I'm just making shit up. His

1:01:35

friend even understood why that was fucked

1:01:37

up. James is trying to get

1:01:39

my attention. I finally look at him. He's like,

1:01:41

come up here. Come up here. So

1:01:44

then I just ski

1:01:46

over everyone's skis and

1:01:48

just fucking go to

1:01:50

the front of the

1:01:52

line like a buffoon.

1:01:55

And we get on the lift. We're

1:01:57

on the lift with this friend, so

1:02:00

I still can't really say anything. And

1:02:02

James is like, oh my god, let's

1:02:04

take a selfie. And I'm like, absolutely,

1:02:06

pull your camera out. I can't wait

1:02:08

for this picture. Thank god I'm wearing

1:02:10

a helmet and a fucking thing

1:02:13

so that you can only see my eyes.

1:02:16

And I was pissed.

1:02:18

I was fucking furious.

1:02:21

We got to the top of the mountain. And

1:02:25

I, James

1:02:27

was like, do you, are you okay to

1:02:29

ski down? And I asked him, is it

1:02:32

going to be easier to ski down or

1:02:34

take the lift down because I had a

1:02:36

few drinks at lunch. Also,

1:02:38

it's my first day skiing

1:02:40

here. Also, I'm not that

1:02:43

good at skiing. Also, please

1:02:45

just get me home. James

1:02:48

tells me, I think it's gonna be easier for

1:02:51

you to ski down and we'll take the easiest

1:02:53

way down possible. This bitch

1:02:55

did not know where he was going.

1:02:57

And I can't really fault him for

1:02:59

that. I mean, it's not like he

1:03:01

is the expert, you know, of the

1:03:03

fucking mountains of Zermatt, Switzerland. I

1:03:06

ended up going down, not

1:03:09

a double black diamond, but

1:03:11

the shit right under that.

1:03:14

They were reds and blacks,

1:03:16

okay? Which now I know,

1:03:19

because America does not have

1:03:21

red lifts, that red

1:03:23

is... basically what you do right before

1:03:26

you do a black line or a

1:03:28

double black line. If you don't know

1:03:30

what a double black diamond is, that's

1:03:32

the hardest fucking shit that you can

1:03:34

ski down, okay? Other than off -piste.

1:03:37

Oh my God, I'm so European. Holy

1:03:39

shit. Which is just

1:03:41

a cool way of saying terrain. A

1:03:43

cool way? It's what Europeans call it.

1:03:45

It's not the cool way. So

1:03:48

I am already

1:03:51

furious. I...

1:03:53

a choice to make and I

1:03:55

was at the top of the

1:03:58

mountain and I looked down and

1:04:00

it is the steepest Craziest shit

1:04:02

I've ever seen and I thought

1:04:04

for a second is the first

1:04:07

time I've ever done this shit

1:04:09

like my whole my dad moved

1:04:11

to Utah for a snowboarding competition

1:04:13

Okay, like my family would fuckin'

1:04:16

ripped me a new asshole. They

1:04:18

knew I took off my skis

1:04:20

and walked down, which I contemplated

1:04:22

doing, but I was like, no, I

1:04:24

feel like that's gonna be crazier and take longer and

1:04:27

I just have to run this shit. Did

1:04:29

I fall? Yes. Did my skis

1:04:31

fly off? Yes. Did

1:04:34

I get right back up and keep going down and

1:04:36

then I would go down a red and then I

1:04:38

would go down a black? I made it happen because

1:04:40

I'm not a bitch. However,

1:04:44

when I fell, And just

1:04:46

me freaking the fuck out.

1:04:49

The every single time James tried to help me,

1:04:51

I lost my mind. So this

1:04:53

is the lifts close at

1:04:55

three. And it

1:04:57

is like 2 50 p

1:05:00

.m. So everyone is leaving

1:05:02

the fucking mountain. There

1:05:05

are people flying past

1:05:07

me and. It's

1:05:10

icy as shit because now

1:05:12

it's cold and everyone's skied

1:05:14

the fucking fresh pow and

1:05:16

the fresh snow. It's icy,

1:05:18

it's steep. I

1:05:20

am, I wasn't like drunk, but

1:05:22

like I had a few drinks,

1:05:24

which is not helpful by the

1:05:26

way. Not helpful. I think someone

1:05:29

made a joke like, oh, that

1:05:31

makes you better skier. No, it

1:05:33

does not. alcohol inhibits you and

1:05:35

does not help you with your

1:05:37

function, at least when it comes

1:05:39

to sports. I don't know about

1:05:41

anything else. So

1:05:43

James blesses soul is

1:05:45

like really trying to

1:05:47

like he knows what

1:05:49

he knows the shit

1:05:51

he took me down.

1:05:54

He is trying to help me

1:05:57

and every time I pause, which

1:05:59

was often He would

1:06:01

come over and be like, baby, like, are you good?

1:06:03

You got this? Like, how can I help you? I

1:06:07

am a 70 out of

1:06:10

10 fucking pissed. And

1:06:12

finally, because his friends are no

1:06:14

longer there, I am able to

1:06:17

let loose a little bit. Like

1:06:19

as much as you can let

1:06:21

loose when you're on the slopes,

1:06:23

which is not that much. Like

1:06:26

you can't have a

1:06:29

real fight when

1:06:31

you are on a ski

1:06:34

slope and half your face

1:06:36

is covered and I'm freaking

1:06:39

the fuck out. I was

1:06:41

able to at least mutter,

1:06:44

don't fucking touch me. And

1:06:46

I'm so fucking pissed and

1:06:49

I was able to let

1:06:51

out. It's so fucking over.

1:06:54

So those are the three

1:06:57

things that I was definitely

1:06:59

able to get across to

1:07:01

him. I think

1:07:03

he was, I mean, I saw

1:07:05

in his face he was like,

1:07:07

what the fuck? He didn't realize

1:07:10

at that point the whole ski

1:07:12

lift thing was an issue. He

1:07:15

definitely realized soon after

1:07:17

we got to the

1:07:19

bottom of the mountain

1:07:21

and thank God I'm

1:07:23

staying at the designated

1:07:25

opera ski hotel spot.

1:07:28

Where from three to six there

1:07:30

is a DJ there are shot

1:07:33

skis there are shots being

1:07:35

passed around it is like turn

1:07:37

up time and James Looks

1:07:39

at me and he says do

1:07:41

you want to get a

1:07:43

drink and I? Was

1:07:46

just like mm -hmm.

1:07:48

I do We go

1:07:50

we get a drink

1:07:52

We head up to

1:07:54

the roof and now

1:07:57

I am able, I don't have

1:07:59

a helmet on and I can

1:08:01

let fucking loose. And

1:08:03

I lost my shit. I

1:08:06

told him the whole thing

1:08:08

about the lift and what

1:08:10

the fuck is wrong with

1:08:12

you. I doubled down on

1:08:14

the it's over comment and

1:08:17

I'm like, it is so

1:08:19

over. I can't even begin

1:08:21

to explain over. And

1:08:23

he's just looking at me

1:08:26

like, What the fuck? And

1:08:28

I am screaming at the

1:08:30

top of my lungs. It

1:08:33

is so obvious that we

1:08:35

are in this heated fucking

1:08:37

argument, which is literally just

1:08:39

me going crazy. And

1:08:42

it's like fucking clockwork.

1:08:45

These two girls,

1:08:48

I am in Zermatt. I don't,

1:08:50

this is a mountain town where

1:08:52

you can go skiing year round,

1:08:54

okay? If that doesn't give you,

1:08:57

if that doesn't signify mountain town,

1:08:59

you can ski in the summer

1:09:01

there. These two girls come

1:09:03

up to me and they go, we're

1:09:06

so sorry, are you Sophia

1:09:08

Franklin? And

1:09:11

I'm just like, you

1:09:13

guys, I went from

1:09:16

the incredible Hulk, I

1:09:19

mean, I wasn't trying to be

1:09:21

fake, but like my voice went

1:09:23

from, I'm going to murder this

1:09:25

bitch to like, oh my

1:09:27

God, yeah. He's like,

1:09:30

he's watching this whole thing go

1:09:32

down. He's like, this is a,

1:09:34

this is a Dr. Jekyll and

1:09:36

Mr. Hyde multiple personality type bitch.

1:09:39

These girls listen to the podcast,

1:09:41

shout out girls that were in

1:09:43

Xerema. I wasn't able to get

1:09:45

their name. Um, but

1:09:48

they, we like took a selfie and

1:09:50

I'm like, oh my God, like thank

1:09:52

you so much for listening. And then

1:09:54

they walk away and I turn around.

1:09:56

It was kind of a flex. Like

1:09:58

it was kind of like the most

1:10:00

incredible moment or something like that to

1:10:02

happen. But it was also, I

1:10:04

was like, I can't be acting

1:10:07

like this in public. Like

1:10:09

I should, I should really, I should get into

1:10:11

like a hotel room. Like this

1:10:13

is all, I love how I'm like, you

1:10:15

can have a proper fight on top of

1:10:18

a ski lift where you can have it

1:10:20

is in the general vicinity of a DJ

1:10:22

in the public. That's probably

1:10:24

not where you should have it

1:10:26

either. I lost my mind and

1:10:28

I lost it. Like it took

1:10:30

two to three days for me

1:10:32

to get over this argument. But

1:10:36

you know, James and I

1:10:38

are We were able to

1:10:40

overcome that. Do

1:10:42

I let him ski anywhere

1:10:45

near me now? No, he's

1:10:47

not allowed. That's like a

1:10:49

steadfast rule. Do

1:10:52

I use an instructor and is he

1:10:54

allowed to drop me off to meet

1:10:57

the instructor? Yes.

1:11:01

But that's my story. And by

1:11:03

the way, the whole ski lift

1:11:05

thing, His reasoning was I

1:11:07

saw that you were kind of struggling and

1:11:10

I didn't want you to have to wait

1:11:12

in that crazy line and be stuck in

1:11:14

that so I thought I would just go

1:11:16

ahead and like pave the way for you

1:11:18

which when he said that I looked at

1:11:20

him and I said you're fucking lying and

1:11:23

don't lie to me and that's not even

1:11:26

though I knew he was being 100 % honest.

1:11:28

I was angry, okay? I don't know

1:11:30

what you want me to say. I

1:11:32

had almost lost my life, obviously going

1:11:34

down the red slope. And,

1:11:37

you know, it was like having

1:11:39

a near -death experience on one

1:11:42

hand and then having all the

1:11:44

other anxiety and all the other

1:11:46

shit happening. Like, I was very

1:11:49

upset. But now we're

1:11:51

good. die

1:11:53

for the girls to post

1:11:55

the photo. I need to

1:11:57

see the photo. I

1:11:59

need to see the photo. Girls,

1:12:02

if you're listening to this,

1:12:05

please, please DM me

1:12:07

the photo or post it if you

1:12:09

want and tag me. I just, I

1:12:12

already know, like there was no life

1:12:14

in my eyes. Just a vein. Like

1:12:16

it was just a big ass vein

1:12:19

poking out and I was just Yeah,

1:12:21

so I don't know. I think honestly,

1:12:24

if you are trying to figure out

1:12:26

how strong you are as a couple,

1:12:29

hit the slopes. Hit

1:12:32

the, and specifically in Switzerland, because

1:12:34

that will really bring people to

1:12:36

their knees. And I was on

1:12:39

my fucking worst behavior, my worst

1:12:41

behavior, but I think it was

1:12:43

justified. And also, Even if you

1:12:45

don't know who I am, but

1:12:48

like maybe you just recognize me

1:12:50

and you see that I'm in

1:12:52

like a World War III fight,

1:12:55

please come and do that shit

1:12:57

again because that was, that was

1:12:59

honestly, that was like a flex.

1:13:02

I'm like, yeah, so me and the

1:13:04

sleuths, me and my friends, yeah,

1:13:07

I'm about to leave you here in Zermock because

1:13:09

I'm about to go hang out with my real

1:13:11

friends. Okay.

1:13:15

Holy shit, guys, that was

1:13:17

like therapeutic to get that

1:13:20

off my chest. I now

1:13:22

need to go to Mew

1:13:25

Mew and beg that they

1:13:27

either return slash exchange a

1:13:29

couple things. They

1:13:32

don't have the tags. I do

1:13:34

have the receipt. The

1:13:36

tags are not. on the

1:13:38

clothing, but I have the

1:13:40

tags and I was super

1:13:42

fucking tempted to buy like

1:13:45

a tag gun off. Not

1:13:47

eBay, like off Amazon and just

1:13:50

put the tags back on the

1:13:52

clothes. But I don't think there's

1:13:54

anything more embarrassing than like if

1:13:57

Mew Mew caught that I was

1:13:59

putting the tags back on the

1:14:01

fucking articles of clothing like that.

1:14:04

I don't know. I would. I'd

1:14:06

rather die on a ski slope.

1:14:08

That's not cool. Also,

1:14:12

I don't know what tag goes to

1:14:15

what, so that could get really complicated,

1:14:17

but I really hope that they do

1:14:19

the right thing. Fuck,

1:14:24

I wanted to tell you

1:14:27

guys that I have a

1:14:29

stalker, like a

1:14:31

real one, not like a ha

1:14:33

ha, oh my god, they're stalking

1:14:35

me like a... Not baby reindeer,

1:14:38

like in a way, baby reindeer

1:14:40

level stalker. And

1:14:42

I have all of these messages,

1:14:44

like I need to read you

1:14:47

the messages and the shit, but

1:14:49

we are out of time, so

1:14:51

I'm gonna talk about it next

1:14:53

week. It is insane. It is

1:14:56

insane, but you know, more on

1:14:58

that next week. And if I

1:15:00

don't show up, You

1:15:02

heard it here first and you know why. So

1:15:05

I love you guys so much. Talk to you

1:15:07

1:15:26
