Hello and welcome back to the podcast. We are on episode 26 this week and we're going to kind of do things a little bit differently. We just wrote down. I want to say random topics, but they all happened in the last week and everybody's been talking about them so we're going to give our two

cents on some of the things that just went down so one of the major things that happened this

past week was the influencer trip and honestly just a bunch of celebrities all went to Dubai at the

same time yeah Dubai is really

having its moment right now. I've never heard more people talk about Dubai than they have in

this last week. Starting off with Tart, tripping with Tart. So I was kind of shocked that everybody

was so shocked about this because it's been happening for years.

Tart especially. I feel like they are one of the first brands that kind of were doing the influencer trip.

I agree. I feel like they've been the main culprit of these excessive influencer trips.

Like they, a lot of brands do influencer trips but i feel like tarts always been

known to go over the top with their trips yeah and especially this one so everybody was

freaking on about it like trying to calculate how much they spent how much they didn't spend because

there was also speculation that so Dubai like we kind of were

just saying but they had a bunch of events going on at the same time and it's been said that they're

trying to get the Western world to kind of accept them because they have um some like questionable oppression stuff going on.

So they're trying to open up their traveling to the Western world and get more people

to come there.

So there was speculation that maybe they paid and funded some of this influencer trip because

like I think there was 30 something girls

and they all flew either business class or first class which is expensive itself.

They all stayed at the Ritz Carlton.

And but apparently this is really does not matter because it's still an expensive trip.
