well, it's finally over. i feel like we should be popping champagne or something right now, celebrating the fact that we actually survived whatever the hell that last season was. how do you feel now that the show is done with? also, don't go thinking that this is the last you're seeing of me. you're actually kind of stuck with me for life now.

the 'i'm free' meme seems pretty fitting for the moment. i have a lot of complicated feelings about the last season but at least we can finally move on from all that. not that i'm not grateful but yeah. i feel good, it's an end of an era but in a positive way. being stuck with you for life don't sound all that bad to me and likewise. there's not a lot of people who understands me like you do, so we're in this for the long haul. should we celebrate the end with some champagne soon?

and i didn't expect anything less of you, jake. i'd actually be more surprised if i found you out socializing. right, but you never actually told me what caused the injury, but i'm glad you're at least able to wander around again. wow, look at you spoiling me just for being ghosted in napa valley. and that sounded like the title of a bad netflix romcom.. which, now that i think about it, basically sums up my trip. but how about you take me to the wizarding world of harry potter? pretty please.

that's such an accurate read, you know me too well. hermit life is the best life and i'm real committed to it. oh, i didn't? it was kind of embarrassing. i dropped a weight on my foot at the gym. working out is dangerous. ice cream has never injured anyone and i'm going to remember that going forward. did you at least have a good time in Napa though? ate all the good stuff, drank all the good stuff and did all the things? i can do harry potter. it's been a minute since i've been to florida too you got it. when are we going?

i’m sure those legs of yours are long enough that you can prop it up on the side of the tub and not get it wet. though i do need you to tell me what happened — how’d you end up in a boot anyways? you’re very enthusiastic about this painting; might just wrap it up and give it to you for your next birthday. yeah, i’ve settled in nicely. had a very lazy first day here and then spent today sitting poolside. how are you settling in?

i'll be testing that hypothesis later today and i'll get back to you with the results. i wish i had a cooler story about how i broke my foot but it was a gym accident. dropped something heavy on it and now i'm stuck in this walking boot for another five-ish weeks. working out is clearly dangerous and i should avoid that in the future. my birthday is next month so please do. i like having something to look forward to! being lazy poolside is the best on vacation, so look at you having the time of your life. it's been fun. just been taking it easy and got myself a golf cart to explore in. don't ask me how i got it, i'll never tell. wanna meet up at this painting thing then? i wanna experience the master at work.

my frankenberry, i know it's a little dramatic but it feels like it's been ages since i talked to you last, even though it's probably not been that long since awards season ended. still, that doesn't technically count as communicating as freely as we'd like to, so i think we should make up for the time while we're here in napa, don't you think? so let's have an adventure, take advantage of all this beauty around us. @jacobexo

it's a tad dramatic, but since it's you, i'll forgive you. it has been awhile, i've been a bit of a hermit since all the award shows and since i broke my foot. real staying indoors pouting kind of energy as of late. take me on an adventure, Goth. i dare you and i'll do my best to keep up with you. do i get to know what these adventure plans are or is it a surprise?

your fave, huh? that's a pretty vip title to throw around. i won't promise at all not to use it to my advantage, just so you know. dinner sounds perfect, actually - i'm sure there's some michelin-star chef hiding in napa ready to blow us away and make you completely forget about that broken leg situation. we'll get you wine drunk enough that you won't even remember you can't walk properly, and i'll play the noble role of making sure you don't topple over. very chivalrous of me, i know. maybe we can find a spot with a view, and see how many terrible decisions we can make in one evening without actually leaving the table. sound good?

i don't say that lightly, but you've earned the title. congrats. we'll get you a bottle of bubbly to celebrate. as long as the wine keeps coming, i'm not particularly picky about where we're eating. everything seems pretty fresh and as long as there's no meat-fruit combos on my plate, i'll be happy. it's a pretty daring strategy, getting my 6'5 ass drunk and then trying to get me into bed safely. as long as i don't break my other foot, i'll be happy to try anything you want, darling.

any major plans for saturday? if not, i'm calling dibs on stealing you away for the spa day. soaking in the hot springs might do those battered feet of yours some good. don't worry though, i won't bother you to join me for the sip and paint night. whatever happens after two glasses of wine is between me and that canvas.

you're in luck, demie. i've not made any plans for saturday, so feel free to drag me to the spa. i can think of worse ways to spend my day. though, i can't get my walking boot wet but otherwise i'm going to be a very enthusiastic tourist at this thing. wait, you're going to dangle that visual in front of me and then take it away? how rude. i wanna see what you paint while tipsy, this should be good. have you settled in nicely already?

are you filming anything around that time? if so, I completely understand. everyone's so busy during the summer months, it's hard to cement plans when you're trying to match schedules. can't say I've ever been to morocco. so you'll have to have to give me your travel highlights before I make the big trip. if possible, I try to arrive a few days earlier so I can enjoy myself and lessen whatever pressure I may be feeling.

yeah, my summer is pretty booked up. especially since i had to postpone something to recover from a foot injury. they're gonna be working me extra hard to make up for it, lmao. oh man, you're gonna love it, especially if it's your first time. i came home with soo many spices, that's something you gotta do as well. i spent hours at stalls just looking at things. the teas and the dates are especially good. that's the way to do it, honestly. set yourself up for success and you don't have to leave feeling like you didn't see anything. are you touring lots this summer?

is it bad to say that i have to mentally prepare myself for euphoria? i started watching the new season and had to pause it. i haven't picked it back up yet but i've been seeing clips and i just need to prepare for what i think is going to happen. did you have fun shooting the wedding scene? @jacobexo

i didn't really do that much prep, if i'm being honest. i was filming another project at the same time, so i originally only had two weeks on set and then i came back for another two weeks a bit later to finish everything. it was a bit chaotic, if i'm being honest. the wedding was so fun, everything got a little crazy and that's how i like it. are you working on some new music, by any chance? because i'm obsessed and i need more to listen to. i think the SOS deluxe is my most played album in recent years.
