00:00Hi guys. Good afternoon. I was gonna say good morning. Good afternoon. Welcome to the vlog.
00:27I have had such a busy day today, but such a good day. I've been running around like
00:31a chicken with its head cut off, but we have so much fun stuff on the plan for the rest
00:35of today. So I figured I would grab the vlog camera, start the vlog, say hi. Hello. Good
00:40morning. Okay. So this morning I woke up, I worked out, I came back home. I got a little
00:45ready. I put a little makeup on. You guys look at my natural lashes. They're looking
00:48so long with my lash serum. I'm very happy. Got ready, got some work stuff done. I had
00:53therapy. I just got back home from a doctor's appointment and now I'm back. I'm about to
00:57enjoy some lunch. I thought I would share this with you. We have a salmon burger today,
01:02which I really want to make homemade salmon burgers because look how good that looks.
01:07We'll do a little taste test together. Okay. So yes, I am getting some editing done right
01:15now in about an hour or so we're doing a little mini video shoot here at the house. We have
01:19something very exciting coming up and there's some promo shots for that. So we're doing
01:23that. After that I need to go to Costco because tomorrow I'm doing a very exciting video,
01:29which I think maybe I'll wait to tell you guys exactly what it is, but just know I'm
01:32doing a private chef video, which is a series that I do on my main channel, which is so
01:36much fun. I'm basically somebody who's private chef for the whole day or sometimes I've done
01:39like meal prep ones. Like for me, I did a meal prep one and I'm doing someone who's
01:43very, very, very highly requested. So that shoot is tomorrow. I need to prep everything
01:47today. And then tonight we are all getting together to do a little debrief about the
01:51wedding because we haven't seen everybody since being in Jersey. So now that we're all
01:56back in LA, we're all going to meet up tonight and just like have a fun, fun night, you know,
01:59get some dinner, hang out and just like debrief. Cause I love a debrief of like a fun event.
02:04Like, you know, when you go out with your friends the next morning after like the morning
02:07debrief after like a sleepover after going out is the best. So I can't wait. That's going
02:12to be so fun. But until then, we've got a lot to do. So everybody five big sips. I'm
02:18going to eat. I'm going to edit and I'll see you very soon.
02:20We're on set. Are you kidding me? Oh, okay. Bizaardvark. The stars of the set. I think
02:31she looks great. Are you kidding me? Hello all. We finished our shoot. Look at this beautiful
02:43sky. We are at Costco and we are going shopping for said video. I am very excited. Let's get
02:51to it. I'm hungry too. Maybe I'll get a chicken. Costco pizza. We made it in. We are here for
02:58actually a hundred percent groceries, but it's always fun to look. They've got camping
03:02gear today. They've got a dinosaur bookcase. No. Oh wait. I love that. Look at this veranda.
03:08I almost hit that man. I'm so sorry. No, it's so cute. A little pergola. If you will, you
03:12know what the Ollie and I always have to check out the squish mallows. That's for sure. We're
03:17starting in the produce section. Look at how big these strawberries are. And for non strawberry
03:22season, this is wild. I'll be getting a lot. I've been on a strawberry kick lately. Oh,
03:27we want ginger too. Okay. We're doing some ginger shots. I got lots of fresh fruit here.
03:31We got raspberries, blackberries. We got Kiwi berries. Look at these. If you slice them
03:36open, it's like a little baby Kiwi perfection for a little morning yogurt bowl. All right.
03:42We got lots of fruits and veggies. I know the front ends look good. Oh my God. My finger,
03:47like my literal nail beds feel cold from being in there for so long. Here we go. Bell peppers,
03:53these are gorgeous. I'm looking for some avocados, but these are all literally rock hard. I'm feeling
04:00every single avocado and this entire Costco rock hard. So we're gonna have to go to a second
04:05grocery store. Actually, I have to go already since Costco is amazing, but they don't always
04:09have everything. So second store it is. I just saw this leaving the dairy section. I haven't
04:14had laughing, the laughing cow. What are you laughing at? I love laughing cow cheese. So I'm
04:21gonna get some of this. I love a meatball. I'm gonna do a pack of these chicken meatballs. I
04:25guess I can make my own. Maybe I'll make my own. I am going to get a pack of these chicken breast
04:29bites though. These are so good. My favorite purse. Gonna get my favorite high protein little snack,
04:37a shrimp cocktail. This is what the cart is looking like now. Very healthy. Lots of produce,
04:42lots of color. I like to see it. My insides like to see it. Also look at the amount of rotisserie
04:48chickens we have down there. We've got one for Ollie, two for me, one for our private chef video.
04:53Love to see it. They have shots here. I was going to order some from like pressed juice or something,
04:58but they're just so much cheaper here. Turmeric and pineapple immunity shots. Here we go.
05:03They have a black miso cod here in the frozen section. I want to try that. That looks so good.
05:10This is like one of my biggest cravings. I know. Lauren always gets me onto the best snacks. These
05:15Cheez-Its snapped are so yummy. I think these are what I was expecting those Pringles mingles to be,
05:21but I like these more. You guys look at this. It's a Bibigo. It's like an instant rice. The
05:25ones that I love, but it's a Korean barbecue flavor. It looks like there's meat and carrots
05:30on the inside. My tummy is rumbling. My tummy is rumbling. These look so good. Ramen crunch snack.
05:37I love ramen. Oh my God. You guys look. Mochi gummies. Fruity flavored. A little pack. All right,
05:44I might have to get this. I think I'm going to get this one. Pink salted caramel filled mochi.
05:49No, honestly, the fruity ones speaking to me more. Also they have Albany's gummies, but wait,
05:55these look like Scooby snacks. Cause they're like opaque. I love Albany's gum. Yep. You're coming
06:01home with me. All right. We need a restock. We are here at the wedding debrief. This is my girl
06:07Costco dinner. Two cucumbers and some chicken. Hey groom. We're having a little girl's night.
06:15Hey girl. Yay. Oh, look at this. No, there's so much fun. So much that we can't pot about. So
06:22this is simply just friend time. Let's go. Hello guys. We finished our debrief. That was so fun,
06:30but it is currently 12 19 a.m. If you can see it is past midnight and I did, I already told them
06:37Costco obviously is amazing, but they don't always have everything. And also some things you don't
06:41need like in bulk, bulk, bulk. So with that being said, I placed a grocery order of the other stuff
06:46that we needed to arrive at Zane's house while we were there, I went out to grab the groceries
06:51and someone stole them. So that's okay. That happens. But I do have to be up in like six
06:57hours or so to start getting ready for this video. And with that being said, I need those
07:02groceries. So luckily Ralph's is open till 1 a.m. We've got 41 minutes before they close. Let's get
07:08in, get out, get the stuff. Yes. Cal's with me. Hi. Okay. Let's go. We struck gold. We found eggs,
07:16a crunch wrap Supreme kit. Taco bell seasoning. I'm here for some taco seasoning, which do we
07:22want? Oh, here we go. Do a little less sodium. Snap peas. We got the goods. I also found this
07:3120 gram of protein yogurt. I love yogurt. So I'm going to try these flavors, strawberry,
07:36kiwi, raspberry, lemon, mango, and cherry berry. Then get some yellow bananas while we're here.
07:42Nice little bunch and some frozen peas. Say hi to my vlog mom. Hi guys. My mom is laughing at me.
07:50Okay. Here's the thing. A lot of people are like, how is she Korean? And her parents know Korean
07:55and she doesn't speak Korean. You guys, first off, my parents wanted me to learn as a kid
08:00and you can tell the story, mom. I was a brat as a kid. A lot of first generation kids in general
08:10can understand I'm sure. But I didn't feel comfortable in my culture going up, especially
08:16growing up where I did grow up in orange County, where it was a lot of white kids. So I didn't
08:19really acknowledge being Korean until I got older. And I was like, wait, this is really cool.
08:24But as a kid, my parents really wanted to put Shane and I in Korean lessons. And we're like,
08:27no, no, no, we don't want to learn. Now. I regret it so much. You guys, I'm going to a Korean first
08:33birthday party, which is called, it's spelled D O L in English, but it's pronounced Dori.
08:40I'm trying my best. You guys, I'm really trying. And then my mom and I were laughing because I
08:45already struggle with rolling my R's in general. I can't roll my R's. So it just Spanish was really
08:50hard for me when I learned Spanish. Korean's hard for me because my tongue just doesn't do that. So
08:54I'm trying my best. Okay, hold on guys. I'm going to talk to my mom. Hello guys. Okay. I'm back. I
08:58still have the dog car seats in the car. I am currently on my way to the birthday party, which
09:04is going to be so much fun today. We have a fun jam packed day. Oh, yesterday I didn't talk to
09:09you guys, but we filmed all day long. We filmed the private chef video. It turned out so, so good.
09:14We filmed that all day. I've got my coffee, which I look forward to drinking all morning. The
09:19birthday party is going to be so, so cute. And then after the birthday party, we're heading over to
09:22the pretty basic studio because we are recording an episode with Bretman today. He's in town and
09:28he wanted to come on. And we're like, absolutely. Let's do a weekend recording. We will make it work
09:32for Bretman because obviously he's iconic. So I'm so excited for that. And then tonight, I believe,
09:38depending on my energy and how tired I am, because Cal is sick right now and I'm trying my best to
09:43not get sick. I need to be healthy because I have a lot of stuff coming up this month. We don't have
09:47time to be sick. Uh-uh. I think we're going to take Bretman to pick a party because you guys know
09:52he and I love our sunnies and we want to go and support Carla and go see her. So he's been wanting
09:57to go since he saw us post about it originally, but it is a little bit of a trek out of the city,
10:01but we will make the trip for Carla because we love her. So we're going to go. It's going to
10:05be so fun and I will keep you guys posted. I'll be at the party soon. And yes, bye.
10:10We have arrived. Guys, look how pretty. How cute is this? No, the camera is so good. I love it.
10:22You guys, look, they have these little gorgeous tteok, little packages. I have to get one.
10:27Little rice cakes. Oh my God, I'm so excited. We have a beautiful buffet. Oh my goodness.
10:33Annyeong. That looks so good. Oh, is it sesame on the inside? Yes, my Korean girl. Hi, queen.
10:42We are here. We're having some lunch. Oh, these ones are savory. They're like a sweet and savory. Yeah.
10:48That one has, so the bean is on the outside, bean powder, and then the inside is sesame on the
10:52plain ones.
10:53What was your last meal and drink?
10:55My friend.
10:56When are you going to deliver it?
10:57About an hour.
10:58Ah, yes!
10:59We're going to see the boss.
11:00Ah!
11:01We're going to see the boss.
11:02We ate tteokbokki, the rice cake.
11:04I was going to get tteokbokki!
11:05I was going to go.
11:06I was going to get that.
11:06I swear, I swear.
11:07I was going to.
11:08You're going to get tteokbokki!
11:10Who's going to show us the house?
11:11Oh, oh.
11:12White, white, white.
11:12Blueberry.
11:13Huh?
11:14Blueberry.
11:14I think the answer has been revealed.
11:17No!
11:19Hello, guys!
11:20We made it to the studio!
11:22Wow!
11:23We have a solo episode, just me and one viewer.
11:26Oh!
11:27Just kidding.
11:28I'm so excited!
11:29Ollie and I got to the studio early because we left the party, came straight here.
11:33Alicia went home to go change.
11:34Brett is arriving as we speak.
11:35We're about to record the app, but the party was so fun.
11:38I forgot to tell you guys also, I called my mom, or when I called her, I asked her if
11:42I had the same Korean tradition birthday party because I feel like I would have heard what
11:46I chose throughout my whole life, and I was like, I never heard.
11:48So I'm sure I didn't have one.
11:49So I called my mom and I asked her why I didn't have one, and my mom let me know that she
11:53really wanted to throw me one, but we had just lost my grandma, like, very recently
11:57before that, and so it was just a really hard time, so we didn't do one, and then my mom
12:01said she didn't give one to Shane because she felt bad that I didn't get one.
12:05Basically, that's what happened, but I just have to say, I thought it was such a beautiful
12:08tradition, and it was such a fun party.
12:10I'll throw you one.
12:11Ollie said he'll throw me one for my 31st.
12:13Yeah.
12:1430 years later, and it was just really cool to see and just learning more about Korean
12:20culture is always so much fun, and I always just feel so proud, and it just is a really
12:23cool feeling, so it was really fun to attend, and now we're gonna get to recording, and
12:28I also brought something very special.
12:30Hold on, let me prop you up.
12:32Is he here?
12:33Yes.
12:34Ah!
12:36I was just gonna show my vlog.
12:38Hi, babe.
12:39Say hi to the vlog.
12:41You look good.
12:42I like this cut.
12:43I love you.
12:44I missed you, mwah.
12:45I missed you.
12:46Very comfort chic.
12:46This is gorgeous.
12:47I love your shoes.
12:48I was just about to vlog.
12:50Oh, wait!
12:50We're on the same wavelength.
12:52Wait, thank you.
12:53Can I use the little girl?
12:54Of course you may.
12:54It's right there.
12:55I did bring some fun little goodies, and we may be shopping for more later, but obviously.
13:00Oh my god.
13:02Oh my god.
13:04Oh my god.
13:06There's more.
13:07We're gonna do an unboxing.
13:09Oh!
13:10One more.
13:10Oh, right.
13:11Open the bag.
13:12This is my jelly cat bag.
13:14It's for us.
13:14For later.
13:15For activities.
13:16I have something for you, too.
13:18Ah!
13:20Ah!
13:22Oh my god.
13:24The lottery!
13:26We're gonna open them later.
13:27No, isn't that one cute?
13:28It's Easter.
13:28That's crazy.
13:30Perfect timing.
13:31Dinosaurs.
13:32Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
13:33The Christmas dinner.
13:34Did you get that one yet?
13:35I got one.
13:36I got the lion one.
13:37I was gonna say I have the lion for you, too.
13:39And I'm like, no, you have to ask her at least once a year.
13:42And I already did my episode in 2024.
13:45So ask her next year when I'm ready.
13:48Because I have to fill up stories, you know.
13:50Oh, I see what you get into.
13:51I have a lot going on.
13:52I've gone through so many things since the last time I was here.
13:55Oh my god, there's our family tree!
13:57We're having a party!
13:59Shut up!
14:01Woo!
14:03We're having a party.
14:05Okay, I'll tell you when to open.
14:06Ready?
14:07One, two, three, open.
14:08Ah!
14:10Yes!
14:12Wait, I have a gift for you guys.
14:14What?
14:14Yes, I do.
14:15I didn't bring anything.
14:16So this is my favorite thing in the world, my aloha kitty.
14:20I almost complimented it earlier.
14:21I'm not kidding.
14:22So I got you guys one each.
14:24I got this one for Alisha because butter yellow.
14:27Oh my god, you're so cute!
14:28And this one for Ruby.
14:29That's so cute!
14:31This is lovely.
14:34And they're 10.
14:34They're 10 of them on.
14:36I love the 10.
14:37Oh my god, the 10.
14:39All the ironing girls have this right now.
14:41It's Alisha and Brett's first time at Pick A Party.
14:44You're gonna have to rip me out of here.
14:45I told you.
14:46No, look at you guys.
14:48Look behind, look behind.
14:49Oh my gosh, hi!
14:50I heard it's your first day!
14:51It's your first day.
14:52I'm Remy, nice to meet you.
14:53Congrats!
14:55Nice to meet you.
14:56You stole our job.
14:58I know, wait, we're really good.
14:59Oh my god, the headbands, Carla.
15:01You guys.
15:02I have more.
15:03I have stuff that I didn't get.
15:04Look what Carla gave Ollie.
15:05I'm not well.
15:06I wanna scream, but I won't scream.
15:09But I really wanna scream.
15:10Keep the voices inside.
15:11Hello guys!
15:12Okay, it is the next day.
15:14Hello, yesterday was so much fun.
15:16I am gonna be honest, I am pretty tired today.
15:19And I think I told you guys this already.
15:21Cal is currently sick.
15:22He's just getting over being sick.
15:24And I am praying, praying, praying, praying that he don't get sick.
15:26I've been trying to drink lots of water.
15:29I've been taking my wellness shots.
15:30These are the ones that I got from Costco.
15:32My throat is like a little sore.
15:34But I'm not sure if it's like me getting sick.
15:36Or if it's just from me talking a ton lately.
15:38I've been talking so much.
15:39We've been recording so many podcasts.
15:41Which I will tell you why in a second.
15:43But these have been helping a lot.
15:44This is the Suja Immunity Turmeric Pineapple Shot.
15:48It's really good, honestly.
15:48And not too sour or like, you know, gingery.
15:52It's got turmeric, ginger, pineapple, echinacea, cherry, acerola cherry, all the things.
15:59So here we go.
16:02I've had a very slow morning.
16:04I've honestly just kind of been chilling, resting a bit.
16:06And now I am getting ready because we're about to go record two episodes of BU.
16:12We don't normally record on Sundays.
16:13But the reasoning for that is very exciting.
16:16By the time that this vlog comes out, you would have already known if you listened to the Pretty Basic episode.
16:20Alicia and I are going back to Asia.
16:23Ah!
16:24Me says my throat hurts, me screams.
16:26I'm so excited.
16:28We'll talk about it.
16:29But before that, I need to start my coffee intake.
16:32Because again, we're recording two episodes.
16:34So I want to bring the energy.
16:36Mmm.
16:37I made my usual, my cookie dough latte that I've been loving.
16:42I will say I made it a double.
16:44Technically, it might even be like a quad shot, actually.
16:47I used one Nespresso pod, but I ran it twice just to get, you know, as much bang for my buck out of it.
16:52So it's probably closer to a triple.
16:54Because I do think the second time you run it, it's way less, you know, concentrated.
16:57So we'll call her a triple.
16:58But okay, I'm gonna put some moisturizer on my skin.
17:02And my jaw is feeling a little tight this morning.
17:04So I'm going to massage it out while we chit chat.
17:09Also, I started a new skincare product.
17:11And my skin is definitely, like, it's purging.
17:14And I've heard that when you use it, you get something called the uglies with it.
17:19Where your skin's just like, it's peeling, it's purging, it's getting used to the product.
17:22But you need to stick with it to get the benefits of it.
17:25Like, you will pass through eventually.
17:27But you do have to stick with it.
17:29A lot of people just give up on it.
17:30And then you don't get the benefits or, like, the results that you want.
17:33So I'm sticking through the uglies.
17:34I'm really not feeling too cute right now.
17:36But all right, a little moisturizer.
17:38Actually, my moisturizer from Korea that I got.
17:40My Torridan moisturizer.
17:42Speaking of Korea.
17:44So Korean Air actually invited Alisha and I to come out to Korea.
17:48They're doing an event, which is really exciting.
17:50So they're flying us out to Korea and taking care of us for a trip out there.
17:55Which, obviously, we could not say no to.
17:57It's Korea.
17:58We had the best trip ever last May.
17:59I can't believe it's been already almost a year.
18:01Like, that's actually crazy to think about.
18:03Because that kind of feels like yesterday.
18:04So I'm just working through my jaw muscle with this little acupuncture tool.
18:08Acupressure tool.
18:09I'll link it down below for you guys if you want.
18:11But it helps relieve so much jaw tension.
18:14Like, you don't even know.
18:15So yes.
18:15Okay, so we got invited to go.
18:17And what's really crazy is my mom actually already had a girls trip planned to also go to Korea
18:22at pretty much the same time.
18:24She was going to be there, like, a little bit later.
18:26And so what we did and what we're planning is my mom actually is going to fly out and
18:31come out a little early and be with us.
18:33She's going to be our tour guide again.
18:34We'll get to make new memories, visit new places.
18:37There are so many things that my mom wanted to show us in Korea that we didn't get to
18:40in May last year on our last trip.
18:42So we're so excited.
18:44She's going to come out early, hang out with us.
18:46And then while Alisha and I were talking about it, we're like,
18:48if my mom's coming, we should bring her mom as well and do, like, a mother-daughter trip.
18:52And of course, Ash has to come too because it's a mother-daughter trip.
18:55So it's going to be my mom, me, Alisha, Ash, and then their mom.
19:00We're going to Korea.
19:01And then we were like, well, if we're going to Korea,
19:03Alisha really wants to go obviously see her family that's in Japan also.
19:06And I was like, uh, I won't say no to a trip in Japan.
19:08So we're doing a big Asia trip together.
19:10We're doing Seoul.
19:11And then we're going to go to Tokyo.
19:13And then we're going back to Seoul and then coming back home.
19:15So we have so many fun things planned.
19:17We are so, so excited.
19:19Again, this kind of came out of nowhere.
19:20It's really crazy because I remember last May when we went to Korea and we got all of our
19:25facials and stuff done and my skin was looking so much better, Alisha and I were like, oh my god,
19:29it'd be so cool if we could come back before the wedding and do another round of, like,
19:32the facial things again because my skin improved so much from that.
19:36But we were like, realistically, that's not going to happen.
19:38I mean, just life is crazy.
19:39Schedules are crazy.
19:40And then boom, we got invited to go back.
19:43And we're like, we got to take it.
19:44I am, of course, going to vlog for you guys.
19:46I'll vlog the whole trip for you guys.
19:48And I'll make as many vlogs as, you know, I can out of the trip, which is going to just be so fun.
19:52And I love looking back at those Asia vlogs with my parents because those are truly some
19:58of the best memories that I've ever made in my life.
20:00And I'm just so excited to go back and be with my mom and, of course, my best friend
20:04and, of course, my best friend's family.
20:05But since we are leaving for a good amount of time, we obviously need to make sure that
20:09our work is all squared away before we leave because, obviously, we can't leave if our
20:13work is not done.
20:14So with that being said, we are pre-recording tons of podcasts before we go.
20:18All of the episodes that need to be done for both podcasts, which is why we've just been
20:22so extra busy, why I've been talking so much more than usual.
20:26Usually, this is spread out.
20:27But we are getting it done.
20:29I'm realizing I have, like, so many different shades of Easy Blur.
20:32I have actually another one here.
20:33All of my shades of Easy Blur because I'm constantly, like, between spray tans and then
20:38my winter tan and then when I get a little tan, changing shades.
20:41So I'm trying to make it work.
20:42I realized yesterday my normal shade is a little too dark for me right now.
20:45So we're making it work.
20:46With that, I keep telling you guys, this is going to be such a fun year.
20:49I have so much fun content and just trips and things planned and the wedding and just
20:54so much happening.
20:55It's, like, it's just been such a dream come true.
20:57Like, I could not be more grateful or excited.
21:00And I'm just, I'm loving it so much.
21:02Okay, for now, I'm just going to get ready and I will catch you guys very soon.
21:07Hello, guys.
21:08I've been here for seven hours and I forgot to vlog the entire time.
21:12I'm so sorry.
21:13I will say...
21:14You missed an earthquake!
21:16Oh, first off, yeah, an earthquake just happened.
21:18Also, we tried the $19 Erewhon strawberry, which is crazy.
21:24Yesterday at Sunday's birthday party, I was talking to Soy.
21:28And Soy was like, wait, do you want to try that Erewhon strawberry?
21:30I was like, um, sure.
21:32She put me in contact with the owner and they delivered me a strawberry.
21:36So we all tried it.
21:37I will put that clip in here.
21:38Today, we're going to compare a 19 cent strawberry to a $19 strawberry.
21:43Oh my god!
21:44Is that the $19 Erewhon strawberry?
21:49Oh!
21:51Let's try it.
21:52I'm sure we've all seen this online.
21:54This is the current viral $19...
21:57Imagine a bird comes and takes it.
21:58This is the $19 viral strawberry that you can get at Erewhon right now
22:02that is flown in from Kyoto, Japan.
22:04You heard me right.
22:05I heard that people are waiting six hours for this.
22:07The whole thing is crazy.
22:08I will say, if you didn't know, in Japan, culturally,
22:11fruit is often given as gifts.
22:12Like really nice, expensive fruit.
22:14It's a really nice gift to give someone.
22:16So that is why this exists.
22:18Thank you so much to Ellie Amai because they did send me this strawberry to try today.
22:23And I'm going to give you a taste test and comparison.
22:26We have here an American strawberry that is pretty much the same size.
22:30This is from Costco and it's not strawberry season, I will say.
22:34I mean, she looks gorgeous.
22:35But compared to this little work of art, let's get into her, shall we?
22:39Okay, we have the big reveal, everybody.
22:40We're going to open it.
22:44It does smell delicious.
22:46Oh, it actually smells really good.
22:48I will say it smells very much like my farmer's market strawberries,
22:51which are still more expensive, but not $19.
22:53I'm going to give a very honest review.
22:55Right off the bat, obviously, the one from Japan looks like a piece of art,
22:59as it should for the price.
23:01Right off the bat, smells like a candle.
23:03Smells like a Bath & Body Works candle, honestly.
23:05So fragrant.
23:06This one, absolutely zero smell at all.
23:09Even just like looking at the seeds, like this is so crazy.
23:13Do you see like how perfectly placed each one is?
23:18This one is like the ugly sister.
23:22Okay, which should I try first?
23:23The good one or the...
23:24The good one.
23:24Okay.
23:25No, try that so we can have that.
23:27Okay.
23:27You want to try my strawberry?
23:30The quiet nod.
23:32Anybody else want to try the Japanese strawberry?
23:34Well, yeah, I'm gonna take a bite and then I'll share after.
23:36No, I want the first bite.
23:39Okay.
23:43It's like, oh my god, wait.
23:45I thought it was like a skewer.
23:46The stem is like perfectly placed.
23:48Oh, okay.
23:49Oh, look, there's a $19 bug on it.
23:51American strawberry first.
24:01Sounds crunchy.
24:02Yeah.
24:02It's not bad.
24:03Best part is on the top and then it gets worse.
24:05No, it's not true.
24:06I don't think so.
24:06I was gonna say slice it down, like we're in the middle of the woods.
24:09Here we go.
24:10Oh, you didn't even get a bite.
24:12No, the texture already on my teeth.
24:15You have veneers.
24:16It's crazy.
24:17I have feelings still.
24:19I didn't lose sensation.
24:22Oh my.
24:24There's no way.
24:24No, I swear to god.
24:25There's no way it's that crazy.
24:26I swear to god.
24:27You just have to bite it.
24:28Bite this one first.
24:31Just like a little bite, like...
24:32Oh, I already know that one.
24:34No, this is crazy.
24:37No, I told you.
24:38I would pay $100 for that.
24:41No, it's crazy.
24:43No one feeding.
24:44You took a huge bite.
24:48That was like a $7 bite.
24:50You really?
24:51You don't think so?
24:51Come on, guys.
24:52Really?
24:53That tastes like a regular strawberry.
24:55Jordan.
24:55What?
24:56Jordan, get out here.
24:57Jordan, hurry.
24:58You wanna try?
25:00No.
25:01I've had a good strawberry like that from Ralph's.
25:04No.
25:05Yes, I have.
25:06But there are good strawberries there.
25:08I don't know about $19, though.
25:10No, I agree.
25:10Jordan's gonna be honest.
25:11Okay, Jordan.
25:11I have pizza in my mouth right now, so hold on.
25:13Give me one second.
25:14Okay, okay.
25:14No, Jordan's gonna give us a good reaction, I know.
25:17Like, it's a good strawberry.
25:18I mean, compared to that one, it's really good.
25:20Classic.
25:21Classic.
25:22Classic.
25:22Get in there.
25:23No, the juice.
25:25It actually tastes candy coated.
25:27That's what it tastes like.
25:30Yes.
25:30It's super different.
25:32It's much sweeter.
25:34Very bitter.
25:35Sweet.
25:35I like it.
25:36Bitter?
25:36Sweet.
25:37Bitter.
25:38Sweet.
25:38I enjoyed this.
25:38Would you pay $19 for that?
25:41No!
25:43That strawberry was really good.
25:44Yeah.
25:45We're not gonna think about the price.
25:46Wait.
25:47Imagine a smoothie with only those.
25:49How much money would that be?
25:50Like $400.
25:51That's crazy.
25:52Honestly.
25:52Well, look at the juice.
25:53It does taste more like a candy.
25:55Look at the juice!
25:56Don't waste it.
25:59It is a very good strawberry.
26:00It is good.
26:01Thank you so much for sending me this.
26:02Bye.
26:02Hello, guys.
26:03I came home last night, ate some dinner, ate some leftover soup,
26:06and then went to bed.

26:08Cal and I were catching up on the entire day because we were apart all day long.
26:12But I love you guys, and I will see you in the next vlog.
