I'm just reaching out to let you know I'm a bit bummed you didn't invite me to that tiki rave swim party you were organizing. If you've got any other themed bashes coming up, I'm still accepting invitations, and you won't regret having me over. ( @justvanessah )

After having been working non-stop for months on end, I was just thinking about travel destinations and how much fun it is to explore new places and how much I need it 'cause I can't remember when was the last time I had a proper vacation. Do you have any dream destinations you've been itching to visit lately? Maybe there's a specific country or city on your bucket list that you're dying to explore? ( @justvanessah )

[mattrcbert]

Alright, you win, I'll forget about that treason. Well, let's see if your Margaritas can knock my socks off like the ones I've sipped on. I'm sure if they'd wanted to carry on, they would've put a stop to things with what went down.

It's OK. We can call it even for the tiki torch party. Well mine is award winning too so you're in for a serious treat. I mean obviously plus with recent events that would have been a bad idea.

[mattrcbert]

I'm human, I err… but thank you for not holding a grudge, I'm here to learn from the mistakes. I've had a few very good Margaritas, who knows if yours top them? I think they said something about not wanting to touch on anything without some time to have perspective on it, and it makes sense.

You shouldn't have doubted it in the first place but I'll let that slide. Oh yes. My margarita is amazing. Well ours because I have two other kickass actresses partners for the Margalicious Margarita. Yeah I completely agree. Plus didn't they have a contract as well that they wouldn't go into modern day? Or was that just a rumor?

[mattrcbert]

Alright, I won't doubt your expertise. With your background in beverages and that touch of Irish heritage, I'm sure your margarita cocktail packs quite a punch. They would have a lot to put in and honestly, I'm kinda glad that they finished it, it was the right way and proper moment for it.

Haha you're welcome. I mean, I have a beverage company and a margarita cocktail out there, I know my drinks, believe me. And I make my drinks strong because part Irish. Well all things do. Plus if they delved into current day it would be awkward

[mattrcbert]

It did. It's a wound that I don't think will ever heal. Thanks for the hospitality even though I myself in. I can't wait to indulge in your expertly crafted cocktails, but I'll be the judge of how amazing those are. It's a great show, it's a shame everything has to come to an end.

Oh wow, that non existent tiki torch party must have made such an impression. Yep. Cali girl through and through. Well you're more than welcome to! I make amazing cocktails. It was the perfect finale honestly. I loved that show so much.

[mattrcbert]

It's also etched in my mind, Internet proof is just a plus. Is LA your neck of the woods? Might be swinging by soon and you'll be hearing from me for sure, can't wait to cash in on that promised drink. Really emotional moment, I love that Claire and Olivia said yes to that scene. I know Claire loves that show deeply.

Yeah yeah. Internet is forever and all that. Listen, I keep my promises so next time you're in my neck of the woods hit me up and I'm buying you that drink. That whole show in general was amazing. And that last scene with all the queens? Agh I can't

[jonsbailey]

True, even if you've been somewhere, there's always more to uncover, more layers to peel back. China must have been a whirlwind of discovery for you, especially with that connection to your heritage. And hey, I'm all ears for the tales you brought back. I'm pretty sure the destination I choose will be a recurrent of mine.

Oh definitely. For years now. It is a paradise, but then again I'm obviously biased. Oh yes please! Still though, being there doesn't make them less fascinating to me. Like I've been to China a few years ago and it was so amazing because it's also part of my heritage and there's so much to explore still. Same with Tokyo. You can never have enough of it.

[mattrcbert]

Those things are never forgotten, no matter how many years go by. Good, I won't forget this promise either. I don't think so, but we're all a bit self-critical, aren't we? Thank you, thank you! Claire is a gem, I don't think there could have been anyone else who could have introduced us to the Queen better than her. It was one of the best moments of my career.

Wait... I said that on Corden? FIVE years ago?! I don't even remember what I ate yesterday. Fine I definitely owe you a drink. Or hate, it's a 50 50 haha. Yes! You were amazing in it. And Claire Foy, oh my god she's just so breathtaking. Honestly that must have been such a great moment.

[jonsbailey]

The wanderlust bug has bitten hard, hasn't it? The Philippines sounds like a total paradise, the beaches seem precious, I'm sure the pictures don't do it justice. I'll show you the postcards since you so kindly helped, even if you've been to these places.

The wanderlust is real. The Philippines are amazing so I highly recommend it. Well I'm happy I could provide options! Ooooh Japan is also amazing! Especially Tokyo.

[mattrcbert]

Thankfully, we were fortunate to have a witness, who also coincidentally is a close friend of mine, oh and it's also filmed and posted online. I missed the Oscars, meaning it seems you owe me a drink for the next occasion we run into each other. I thought you'd say that, and truly believe the show would have garnered much more acclaim had you been present. Was I now? Thank you, love! Hearing Harry call me granddad made the entire experience worthwhile.

I really really don't though... But fine you are definitely invited to the next one. And if you come to the Oscars I'm also buying you a drink as a consolation for the non invite to a party I have no memory of. Oh stop. Nothing is beneath me when it comes to great projects. Well if it counts you were an amazing prince Phillip.

[jonsbailey]

It's awesome to hear you've ticked off some bucket list destinations. The Philippines sounds like an absolute gem, especially with that personal connection. Oh, sign me the fuck up for Florence and Sicily. Can't beat that European charm. These are top of my list now. I've been eyeing up Japan lately. Always been fascinated by the culture and the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. But hey, a bit of R&R in any of those spots sounds like a dream right about now.

I mean a vacation is definitely well deserved for you at this point! Oooh good question! Well the Philippines have always been a bucket list item because of my mom and I actually got to go last year. It's amazing. So me being a tourism ambassador and all, I highly recommend it. Florence is also a must go destination if you're looking for something more European. Sicily as well, especially Noto.

[mattrcbert]

You remember it well, I know it. No hard feelings, just waiting for the next party invite. To work as an extra would've been beneath you. If it were up to me, you'd have been a perfect candidate to have a main role this last season, but unfortunately I don't have a say in the decision-making process. Not that I ever did, actually.

The what? When was that? Oh my god. I don't even remember! I promise if I do one you're invited. Then again, where was my invite to be an extra on The Crown?!
