Okay, tell me how your summer is going. You were on vacation. Where were you? Let us pretend we were there with you.
Oh, please. I'm like, can we all just go on vacation for the whole summer? Come on, everybody. Everybody, let's do this. Let's all agree that summers are for vacations paid for by the government. I love this energy. Paid for by the government.
We're going to like manifest it here now because it's like when you were younger, I feel like summers were always vacation because off of school. But when you become an adult, nothing is fun anymore. We're like, we need to go on vacation. Okay, so where were you?
Okay, so I was in Ibiza, Spain. And then I stayed there for probably like five or six days, which was like an experience. Like it is a party place. So we did not go to sleep. I went with like 10 of my other friends and we didn't go to sleep till like seven in the morning, every morning. I can't even say night. But it was so fun. It was that ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. That Ooch Ooch music. I kind of like Ooch Ooch, but I need like some hip hop, some something mixed in with it. But it was so fun. The sunsets are beautiful. And then the second portion of the vacay was Jamaica. Oh, I've never been. Ocho Rios. Beautiful people. The food, the chicken patties, the beef patties, the shrimp curry, the plantains. I had at least 152 plantains. What?

I didn't, you know, my parents worked a lot and we didn't get the opportunity to go outside of Kansas. So I didn't take my first vacation until really my first album came out.
And now you're like, I deserve this.
I'm making up for lost time.
As you should. That's phenomenal. I feel like when I go on trips with my friends, there's someone in the friend group that's like the planner, that's like the reservations and the itinerary person. And then there's people that are more like chill and just going with the flow. Who are you in the friend group?
Oh, my God. I'm the one actually sending out the group texts like dinner. I could be at the club. It could be four in the morning. I'm like lunch is going to be served at 2 p.m. Breakfast for anybody between nine and noon. Dinner is going to be eight. Like I love making the itineraries. I'm that friend. You're the dream though. I'm, I'm, yeah. Like people are like, Janelle, why are you doing? And I just, I don't know. I just love curating experiences. Yeah. I grew up actually throwing parties with my best friends, middle school. sixth grade seventh grade we would rent out this location and one of our friends neighborhoods sort of white building and we would charge people a dollar to get in and I would hide in the bathroom because I didn't know who was gonna come I had so much anxiety around it and then once it would get packed my friends would come underneath the stall because I locked myself in the bathroom and
They'd be like, it's Pat, come out, come out, bitch. Get out, get out, get out. And so I've just always loved curating experiences for people.
