(dramatic instrumental music)
- The weather is not great.
It's pretty wild outside, it's pretty bad.
I've never been here before but, also,
the weather is scary and it's raining really hard.
It's pretty wet, it's windy.
- Wouldn't it be sweet if you could go to the airport
and purchase a ticket for a flight later that day?
I mean, that is definitely something
at the top of my bucket list.
It's the Ladylike Show and I'm taking my friends
on a secret, spontaneous trip.
(energetic instrumental music)
I think planning a spontaneous trip,
going to the airport, buying a ticket,
and then leaving is the ultimate expletive button.
It's so rebellious and I've always really wanted to do that.
I think I've seen movies where characters
are able to just rush up to the ticket desk
and be like, "Give me a ticket to anywhere,"
because I love surprising people
^and I love how anxious Kristin gets.
^- Why?
- Let me tell you who's in on the secret.
^Beautiful Mike Rose, who's also a Ladylike Producer,
he's been helping me figure out the best places to eat,
he's been helping me find hotels and, like,
cool attractions we can go and visit.
We have Lauren, who's our Production Coordinator,
^who's been literally my right-hand woman,
and also she's been helping me,
like, really modify my language
because there's so many times where I've almost slipped up.
Ugh, it's been so hard not to let it slip.
Even here, right now as I'm sitting here talking to y'all,
I am really conscious of the fact, like,
there's a voice in my brain saying, "Don't say it.
"Don't expletive say it, don't say it, Devin.
"Don't say it!"
- [Cast In Unison] Say it, say it, say it!
- Let me just take you back in time, everyone.
January 1st, 2018, so Ladylike traveled
to Kenya in the middle of January,
so I decided to put my trip planning down
for a majority of that month,
but then February rolled around and I was like,
"Holy expletive, I gotta get my act together."
At this point, I had kind of three cities in mind.
^I was thinking Vancouver, (cat meowing) or Guadalajara.
Enter Mike Rose.
Mike Rose was the person who helped sit me down
and was like, "Okay, you just went
"out of the country in January,
"so why don't we just kinda scale it back a little bit."
And Mike, what did we decide?
- We decided on (cat meowing).
- We're gonna go to (cat meowing).
- I'm so excited.
- It's gonna be wild.
- Yeah, it's gonna be a dream come true.
^- Day two of planning this trip.
Everyone is so nice on the phone,
everyone has so much information and I can really tell
that they're really proud of their city.
Everyone just loves to talk about (cat meowing)
which is such a refreshing thing.
- It's kind of a trope,
but people in the South love to talk.
And because I'm from the South as well,
I can talk for hours, too.
So just planning anything in general
took double the amount of time.
This is so hard, I hope everyone likes this.
- We were trying to guess where secret trip is.
- I just really hope it's New Orleans, imma be real.
- Really?
- I love New Orleans.
- You do?
I would die if it was New Orleans.
- We'd literally keel over.
- Alright, give me your six guesses again.
^- Portland, Louisville, Nashville,
^Atlanta, Miami, or New Orleans.
- Okay.
- Why, why are you laughing at me?
- Because I don't wanna give any of it away.
- I hate this, I hate not knowing.
- Let me plan something for you.
- No.
Is it Hawaii?
- We have two weeks to go 'til this trip happens.
I've already slipped up once, it's definitely a thing.
- You didn't slip up, you didn't give it away fully.
She just gave a little, like, hint.
- And it was only Kristin.
- And she probably forgot.
- I just let it go that these people I've been talking to
in planning this trip has been Southern.
Kristin isn't allowed to tell anyone
because I know where she sleeps at night.
- I can't handle this.
(jazzy instrumental music)
- Literally the beginning of March I let it slip.
I was here in Stage Seven, Kristin and I
were shooting something for God knows what.
I blew it.
(Kristin laughing)
I'm having a hard day and Kristin's here
and we're shooting alone.
- I feel so bad.
I wanna, like, erase my mind because I feel like
I've been working so hard to figure this out.
- All I did just now was I was just like,
"Oh, I don't know, (cat meowing) could be a bust."
I'm literally so mad at myself.
- It'll be much funnier if I don't tell anyone
and that no one know I know because then what'll happen
is Freddie will turn to me and be like,
"What the expletive, you knew this whole time?"
And I'll be like, "Not the whole time.
"Just the last two weeks."
- God damn it because Kristin was the one
who was bugging me the most this entire time.
For the entirety of my planning this trip,
she was like, "Are we going to Hawaii?
"I can't wait to go to Hawaii."
And the fact that I just let it spill,
like she wasn't even asking me something,
was pretty anti-climactic.
^So we're here, the three of us, this is our evil team.
Okay, so now I need you guys to plant some seeds.
- I love I'm now in on it.
- You're a conspirator.
- I'm a co-conspirator.
- There's no turning back.
- Exactly.
So if Kristin wasn't gonna be surprised,
then Kristin was gonna work for me.
She was gonna become my little agent of chaos,
my mole into the group.
- So Mike is gonna put on his unsecured calendar
that he's gonna have some Nashville planning
and then I'm not gonna say anything
and then later in the day I'm gonna blog about,
like, my guesses for secret trip.
- So I decided to plant Kristin around the office,
throwing out theories like, "We're going to Austin."
"Oh, I heard it was Miami."
"Oh, I saw some papers on Devin's desk that said Nashville."
- So then I am gonna go to Jen and be like,
"I saw something on Devin's desk,
"I think we're going to Miami."
Jen, you think it's Nashville.
- I think we're going to Nashville.
I'm like 99% sure we're going to Nashville.
Because I asked Devin if it was Nashville
and she said--
That's my Devin impression.
So I'm pretty sure that means yes.
- I saw stuff on Devin's desk
- Oh, wait, what, are you joking or are you
actually revealing this to us right now?
Look at Freddie's face.
How obvious were the things she left
out on her computer?
- It was like I walked by her desk when she was out.
Like, she wasn't like, "Oh, no."
- Then that might have just been a mistake,
in which case we're going to Miami.
- Beach time.
Spring break.
^- Hey, guys!
^- Hey!
- I have been doing a lot of planning,
I've been planning this trip for weeks.
We're ramping up, y'all are on board.
You're about to receive a packing list from me.
You're not gonna know where we're going
until we get into the airport.
- Kristin's butt's not gonna unclench
until we get into the airport,
is what we're learning right now.
- Look at the way you're actually sitting.
^- Kristin does not like surprises.
^- I don't, I hate them.
- I love surprises, I'd much rather have someone
plan for me and then I just show up and enjoy.
- Yeah, we don't have to do any work.
You've done so much work.
- Thank you for all the work you've done.
- For us to go on a surprise trip, okay.
- To Atlanta, Georgia.
- I'm not gonna tell you where it is.
- We're going to Hawaii.
- Hawaii.
- No, keeping a secret has been so tough.
Alright, we have five days, we leave on Sunday.
- Wait, what time do we leave Sunday morning?
- We leave 6 AM Sunday morning.
- Oh my God.
(dramatic instrumental music)
- [Kristin] Surprise!
- Surprise!
- Okay, so we just all realized that
our flight out on Sunday is at 6 AM;
however, it's daylight savings time.
We're springing forward.
- My Lord.
- Damn it.
- I promise you guys it's gonna be worth it!
- Okay, so I'm trying to pack.
^The funny thing is, is that I actually do know
^where we're going and yet I am still completely at sea.
In fact, I would actually have a better idea
if we were at sea because then I could do
all sorts of boat-themed outfits.
- I kind of over-packed.
Devin was like, "I said pack swimsuits
"because I thought the hotel was gonna have a pool,
"but since there's no pool don't bring a swimsuit,"
and if we were going to Miami,
which I thought was a strong contender
because Kristin let on that she thought it was Miami,
so I don't think we're going to a beach town.
- I'm seeing on the list that Devin says work-out clothes
and then, separately, work-out clothes
that you don't mind getting dirty.
I guess it's separate,
I don't really know why they're separate.
I think you have to move.
Okay, well that's not really what I meant by moving,
but I guess that's one way to do it.
- Alright, so it is 11 PM and I was
considering not sleeping, like,
I was like, "Maybe just don't sleep, stay awake,"
but it's like I'm so tired right now.
I had to Google how to fold a blazer
from this, like, Brookes Brothers website
because I didn't know how to do it
and Devin says we need to bring going out looks
that will get us into a fancy restaurant.
So I learned how to fold a blazer.
^- I set five alarms.
All of them are Circle of Life from the Lion King.
It's, like, three in the morning,
which is Satan's hour.
On the one hand, I love adventure.
On the other hand, I wanna die.
- It is 2:49, well actually 3:49 now, Mike.
- Has Daylight Savings happened?
- Daylight Savings happened and it is go time.
- It is four in the morning,
as evidenced by Chantel's face.
She's yawning!
There's Freddie wearing a fur coat,
a faux fur coat, dressed in style.
^Ready to go to Paris, France, are you, Freddie?
She's got her own things to worry about.
There's Kristin!
She doesn't see us yet but she just made it to the airport.
There she is, that's our girl.
Kristin, say hi!
^I got it!
- We just checked everyone in,
and we managed to not ruin the surprise.
- Yeah, I had no idea it was going to do that.
- The next test is gonna see if we can
go through security and not have it be an issue.
- I packed seven pairs of shoes for a five-day trip.
- Wait, including the ones you're wearing?
Is this pair eight?
- Possibly.
- [Jen] What happened, we made it through security?
- I did, two times, two times in one go.
- The more the merrier.
- Wow!
Oh, I'm sorry.
Kristin needs to back off.
Minneapolis, the twin cities!
The city of sex.
What if Minneapolis really was the city of sex,
that'd be cool.
Alright, we made it through security,
going to our gate, I'm gonna get some McDonalds
and I'm also really gay, break it down.
- So we're approaching the gates.
Still don't know where we're going.
Walking by all these gates and just being like,
"Is that where I'm going, is that where I'm going?"
I don't know.
- [Devin] Where do you guys think we're going?
- Is it time to actually find out?
Do you want us to look?
^- [Devin] Well just call out the things that are going.
(girls cheering)
^- A girl's dream can come true.
Yeah, there's only one 6 AM on the dot.
- Yeah, that's the one.
That's our Valentine.
We went to New Orleans!
- Devin just planned a whole trip for us
and it was amazing.
- So I was the most gung ho about New Orleans,
I think, out of everyone.
- But it was actually one of the most
fun trips that I've been on in a long time.
- Well, it was really nice to have
somebody else plan a trip for me, specifically Devin.
- And when you think of New Orleans,
you think of, you know, Mardi Gras,
you think of Bourbon Street,
you think of the French Quarter,
you think of drinks and having fun and culture.
You think of so much rich culture.
- Plus, Girl's Trip came out and that was a bomb movie,
they went to New Orleans so why can't we go to New Orleans?
- You know what, I am not great at planning,
so it was nice to have a trip that I knew
was gonna be fun but required only passive energy.
- I have never had someone plan a trip for me.
It's funny because I worked really hard to,
like, kind of ruin the surprise for myself
and then the surprise kind of got ruined
without my involvement at all.
- Oh, she literally was like, "I saw some papers
"on Devin's desk that said Miami.
"I don't know."
- Jen, I have a confession to make.
It's that I've know about where we're going
on secret trip for, like, two weeks.
- What?
Miami was a red herring, you bench.
- I know, and then when you said
your cousin was there I was like, "Oh, no,"
but Devin sent me on a mission to, like--
- Yeah, I already told my cousin we'd get dinner.
No, I didn't.
I'm glad that Devin told you because, honestly,
Kristin was being so stressed out.
I'm not gonna say that it was hard to deal with,
but I am gonna say that it was really cute.
(upbeat instrumental music)
- So we just landed, we got all our bags,
and now I guess we're on our way to rental cars
because apparently that's how
we're getting around everywhere.
- We made it!
- [Jen] We did it, we're here.
- We're off to the baggage claim, pick up our bags,
and then drive to the hotel.
Does anybody know where we're staying?
- No, we don't, we know nothing.
It's just gonna be surprise after surprise,
and now I don't know what we're doing now.
- Yeah, we barely know that we're in New Orleans.
- Kristin is no longer in on the surprise.
- I'm no longer in on the surprise.
- All I really wanted was to just survive this trip.
(thunder clapping)
So then we land in New Orleans and it is raining.
Cats and dogs.
(rain pouring)
- The weather is not great.
It's pretty wild outside, it's pretty bad.
- It was, like, a torrential downpour.
The wind was super strong,
there was just, like, all of this rain,
and because the wind was strong the rain kind of
felt like it was coming in sideways.
- Of course it's gonna be raining
the entire time, it's March.
I grew up in the American South,
it rains cats and dogs late March into April,
what the expletive was I thinking?
- It's pretty wet, it's windy.
And it looked like a pretty intense storm, honestly.
- I thought this trip was gonna be ruined.
(rhythmic instrumental music)
- One.
- [Devin] Two.
- [Jen] Three.
- To all the badass ladies!
(girls cheering)
- When we started filming this video,
we didn't know that we were gonna get so much footage.
We had so many great segments that we decided
that all of them deserve their own sort of spotlight.
- Instead of just being one video,
over the next several weeks we're going to have
different installments of our adventures in New Orleans!
- And so we're coming at you with a mini series!
- Do you wear a special suit?
- A diaper.
(girls laughing)
- Keep watching to see all the cool expletive that we did.
(rhythmic instrumental music)
- We went to New Orleans and we drank a lot
and we went shopping and we hung out
on the street with our drinks.
(rhythmic instrumental music)
