Uh, let's talk about santro Pe. Okay. There are places like Ibisa. I hate even I don't care if you literally were born in the womb of Spain. When you say a Bitha, it makes me want to punch you in the titties. I just can't stand the word. It's one of those words like Manicotti, like mari Gut. I hate the word. I don't care if your Italian, I don't care if you're German. I hate the word. It gives me. People don't like the word moist. I have no problem with the word moist. It Bitha makes me want to die. It makes me want to crawl into a trunk of a car, duct tape my mouth and and leave the universe. I can't stand it. But there are places like it Bitha and Sancho Pay that are like you know, do she In in reputation, They're like they're like Coachella in a continent. They're like Coachella in a resort destination. But when I went to It Beat the Um, I realized it wasn't only like partying and like popping bottles and like douchebag peep Russians on Big yachts like it wasn't like that at all. It was actually family and europe and beautiful. There is a douche bag mentality to it after a certain hour, but there's a very beautiful European spirit and mentality to it during normal hours, during normal business hours. I dinner at eight o'clock. I don't care if I'm in Spain or Malaysia. I'm meaning it's early dinner, so I see normal people. So Sancho Pa, where I haven't gone for years, I've just had this idea in my mind that like it's really just like all fast and all labels and all that. And by the way, people are wearing labels, and there are amazing cars and people do party. But I gotta tell you something. I could be the spokesperson from santro Pe. This is going to be hard when I say this, because you know, I care about my food so deeply. And I'm not saying all of France because I think Paris has wonderful food, but it's not. I wouldn't. I'm not gonna say Paris has better food than Italy is excellent food. Sancho Pay has better food than most resort areas in Italy. The food in Sancho Pay And I don't mean like fancy food. I mean just like just like shrimp salad, just like the freshest and the citrus dressings, and like they do vegetables so well, and they do healthy so well, and like everything is so good, the foods extraordinary. The people are just living their life. They're just happy. And I also don't mean young, you know, dumb dumb Instagram models in which there are people like that on you know, like on like you know, people's yachts, yes, or boats. If you're cool, you say boat. You don't say yeah, but I'm saying yeah because I want you to know that it's yachts. Um. I mean like you go to these restaurants and you have these lunches that are just music is playing. You're just dancing and having fun. Like Jeff Gordon and his wife were there, right, I know them. He's you know, he's probably like younger than me, but like my age adjacent. He's a race car driver, you know, he's like me. He's he's like you know, he's known, but he's like successful, but he's married and chill and just he's just a person who's been successful, and he's got a nice, beautiful child. And he was in Central Pages at lunch like living his life, drinking wine, having fun. I think he was drinking wine. I don't know if he drinks, but just like and then there are just obviously a lot of people that are not Jeff Gordon, that are families and kids at lunches and you're dancing on a Tuesday at three o'clock like on a bankquet, but not in a Miami cheeseball way. And I'm like, I'm living my life way, like I'm free. I went there to launch my wine Forever Young, which is from Provence. It is extraordinary, it is amazing, and I feel qualified two going back into the spirits industries and some of the one who created the spirits industry as an as a celebrity. Besides did he there's nobody else to change the game like myself in the spirits industry. They all followed us. And he and I have the same birthday, by the way, so I feel quality one. But it's a wine born in Provence, and I'm so proud because Sancho pay I was expecting it to be like way too fast and over my head. And yes, it's expensive, and yes it's fancy and glitzie, but when I tell you people live their life, they're just having fun. They're listening to music, they're dancing. They're just don't care and they're not caring what they look like during the day. Meaning there are people decked out, but like the number one priority seems to be a free spirit there. The song, the spirit and the actual wine spirit Forever Young are so indicative of what it's like in Central Play. I cannot tell you I fell in love with this place. I've been twice, either it's come alive now or I've come alive now. I just felt free, I felt happy, I felt free, I felt alive. I felt like I didn't care. And it wasn't just that I was on vacation, because I've gone other places all over the world. I've been on vacation a lot. You know. There was just something in the air and the water and the vibe and the freedom. I just felt like I had broken out of a stress prison and was just living my best, care free life. And it was therapeutic, honestly therapeutic. If you can't afford to go there, but you can, you somehow make it to France somehow, or you can't afford to stay there at a hotel and you can somehow make it there for like a lunch or something. I went to bag hotel for lunch. It was the life and the fun. I went to this place be Blows on the beach for for lunch. And you know what else, The French get a bad rap for the for the attitudes, and I found that the people in France were just as nice as the people in Italy. Maybe that's evolved. Used to be you felt that in Paris and different parts of France and people were snobby and that the Italians were so nice. People used to say the French don't deserve the country. The people are so nice. I cannot say more good things about it. I had the most incredible experience in Central Pay. I feel like it's part of me now. I can't wait to go back. And I know I sound like a spoiled douche bag, but it's not the spoiled part. It was just the like drinking wine and not being so like rigid and you know what, let's talk about to Europe in general, just being like no, we're shutting down between one and four or sometimes some places five thirty. There's a place called four Day de Marmi in Italy where it's like one to five thirty were shut What the fuck? And then they shut again at like eight or not. They just they're enjoying their lives. That's why am my friend said this, why there's my friends said, why are they so happy? Because they're taking a four hour break during the day. That's why they're so happy. So like, if we could just be happy by taking a four hour break, I mean, it's an amazing thing. It's like an experiment that's worked. You see that in the pandemic, we've all taken work. People are working from home, and seeing that it was this crazy worldwide experiment that worked well, a European experiment that works is just hours off people are just living their lives. It was really like that song t I So Live your life. I was really impressed. I'm going to do a rant, a discussion on every single place I went and everything I ate in Paris and in my different places in Italy, so you can plan your trip for next summer because I want you to know what I did, what was good, what was it? And I'm going to do an entire discussion on like like a tour guide plan for you. Verbally, I'm gonna do that, I will say people on TikTok. I'm realizing more than ever now, people on TikTok just want to talk. Like when I go on TikTok, I want to talk. I'm talking about a beauty product, I'm talking about a business tip. I'm trying to give takeaway. I'm not, you know, sitting there being like so I grew up in a rural area of three thousand people, and my sister Eloise and my brother he was the middle people. Like people think that their TikTok followers are their therapists, like and maybe they are. They're like, I'm watching TikTok or is just talk into the camera about their deepest, darkest secrets, their problems. They're frauds, they're weep their flaws. They're weeping, weeping into cameras, telling stories and talking about childhood traumas and dramas, and I'm thinking, you, okay, Like I just don't even know if that's actually healthy. Maybe it's the most healthy thing in the world, But I literally see people looking into the their cameras and saying, I just don't feel good about myself. And I mean I was an only child, and the way that I was raised, my mother would scream at me, and that was her way of you know, or like and I you know, I was selfish when I was a kid, I was the selfish one. I was the you know, I was abused. I feel physically disgusting. I beat myself up. I like things that you'd tell a therapist, I find. And then I just find it fascinating that people are using TikTok as a way to just like talk, Like everybody's just talk. It's TikTok. People are just talking and expressing their like in most you know, fears and and and secrets and two stories or just like superficially just been like, yeah, it lives in Danton, Ohio. Um so I was four and then you know, people did a lot of times makeup. And then I went to nursing school and I became a nurse and I failed out, and I got married and I got divorced and I had four kids and I did We're like now people just are thirst deeper conversation. I'm not big on small talk, and so I'm not the one who's gonna be just like, that's just not my kind of ticktalk, but I just find it interesting. What do you think
