🎵 Sashir! Nicole! How are you? I'm good. I went swimming last night. What the heck? At night? Yeah, like 7 p.m. Where?

There's a gym that's across the studio, across the street from the studio. And the employees are allowed to use the gym. And I got a nice tour of it. There's a slide in the gym. Can you bring a visitor? I can bring visitors, yes. When I come see you, I'd like to go down that slide, please. Okay, great.

We can go down the slide. Have you been down the slide? No, I have not. I think it's more, I guess it's for fun and function. Because it's not like one of those curly slides. It's like next to the stairs. And I guess if you don't want to go down the stairs, or if people are maybe working out on the stairs, you can use the slide to go down. Wait, it's a dry slide?

I thought it was a pool slide. Um, no, it's a dry slide i thought it was a pool slide um no it's a dry slide a dry slide indoor slide i'll wet it up i'll spit right on that slide and go on down oh no oh that's fun and yeah they have a lap pool it only five feet deep, so there's no way I can drown. And I want to hope I did 10 laps. Like 10, is a lap down and back or just one time? You know, I'm not a scientist. To me, oh wait, a lap is okay, okay.

A lap is there and back. Because when you do a lap at a track, it's not completed until you get back to where you started. And that is deductive reasoning. Good job. Good job. Thank you. Regular Sherlock Holmes over here. Excuse me, it's Cheryl Holmes.

Or what's his sister's name? Enola Holmes. What what's his sister's name? Enola Holmes. What? He has a sister? Yeah, there's a whole show with Eleven. With Millie Bobby Brown. No, her name is Eleven.

With Eleven. She plays Eleven and Enola. She said, I will not take the part unless it's an E name and it's wild. How funny. Emanola Holmes? I wish you like a teen detective. You got it. Yes.

Some more deductive reasoning for you. And so I think I did 10 laps. It was hard. I would, like, get to the end and then be like, and then I'd, like, catch my breath and then go back. And there were two men that were just, like, going back and forth the whole time. And I was like, I won't let this deter me. It's okay. I'm new to swimming.

And it's exhausting. It is tiring. Anytime I tread water for a long time, I am always tuckered out later. Yeah. My thighs were burning. My arms were burning. It was good. It's a full body workout.

Mm-hmm. That's why I wanted to do it. Did those men, did they say, get you go, girl? Were they, like, congratulating you? They said zero things to me. Interesting. I guess they were just, like, focused on their own deal. But I will say, when I first took swimming lessons over the summer,

the community pool that I went to, they were encouraging. Like, there was a guy who was, like, giving me tips. And he's like, hey, so if you're on your back, there's these flags. He also did this because I hit my head on the wall and he's like if you see these flags in the air that means you're getting close to the end so you gotta like turn around and put your hand out so you don't hit your head on the wall and i was like thank you kind sir that is nice yeah have you ever been like congratulated or like motivated at like a workout session at a gym and or other place? Oh my God. I don't know why I work at like that. Other place? I guess in classes, but not, I don't go to the gym, really. So, no. Have you?

Yes. And I was trying to figure out if it's exclusively reserved for fat people. I've had people literally stop their workouts to be like, hey, good job. And I'm like, okay, thank you so much. We're like, keep coming back. Oh, okay. I see. I see.

I see. Yeah. like, keep coming back. Oh, okay. I see. I see. I see. I, that's yeah. Yeah. And never once have I been like, you know what? I will change my life and be here every day. Weird man.

Thank you so much. I was going to quit right after this session, but you gave me hope. You gave me so much hope. Yeah, it happens, I would say, almost every time I go to the gym. And sometimes when I feel people approaching me, I'll just look down and then try my hardest to not make eye contact. Because when you make eye contact, that's an agreement that I'm going to let you over here. And you can encourage me to finish the elliptical strong. That's been told to me.

Finish strong. Weird. Jordan, have you ever encountered that? Yes and no. But I also feel like I have a really angry face when i go to the gym so like people stay away from me i have had men 100 hit on me at the gym which is a new revelation and i've gotten more compliments wearing no makeup and like drenched in sweat being like you look so pretty and i'm like why do i try ever in my regular life? But I definitely have had a lot of people look at me at the gym doing stuff.

And I'm like, I just came here to party. I don't want to talk to anyone else. Wait, Kimmy, Jessica, have you guys ever had that happen? I'm sorry. I don't think so. People tend to leave me alone. I've had the thing where like you look what you think is like not your best. And then that's when someone chooses to be like really friendly with you and i'm like now now but no people i tend to only do yoga

so people really leave me alone i'm like a tiny little ox lady at the gym and i purposely take off my glasses when i start working out so i can't see you so if i can't see you you can't see you. If I can't see you, you can't see me. That's funny. Yeah. And also not true. No, not true at all. But I just don't talk to anybody. But I like that.

I've gone up to like the front desk to ask how a machine works. And I've had so many times. They do not tell me how the machine works. They just tell me what I need to do for like my lower stomach, for my legs. Like they tell me what I need. And I'm like, that's not what I came here to ask how this arm thing worked. And that's all I wanted to know. Not not. And they're like, well, if you do this machine, that's where you can lose the weight here.

And I'm like, that's not what I asked you. Oh, boy. So that is. Boo. Boo. here and i'm like that's not what i asked you oh boy damn so that is i guess we all have to go to atlanta and go swimming with this year it's nice over here i have i have looked very lost in the gym and that's how i got a personal trainer because i was in a crunch gym and i was like i don't know what to do got a personal trainer because I was in a crunch gym and I was like, I don't know what to do. Some woman was like, do you need help? And I was like, yes, I don't know what anything is. And she's like, well, I'm a trainer. I can help you. And I was like, great.

So that's how she became my trainer because I was like, can't do this by myself i don't know what's happening i got a trainer in new york he was a friend of a friend and he was like you know what would be better if you pre-paid me for sessions and i was like okay and then i had to move to la and i was like hey i know i pre-paid those sessions but can i get that money back and he outright said no so i still have like 20 sessions with some man in new york who i don't even know if still a trainer or not i think he does porn now but you know that's neither here nor there okay um and then okay okay and then in la um i had ben who's still my trainer he was at la fitness and he didn't like LA Fitness. And then he left and he went to Mansion Fitness, which was in West Hollywood. It has since closed. It was very gay, lots of chandeliers in black. And then he moved to England. And then in the

interim of him being in England, I worked out with this man named ryan and ryan truly didn't give a shit if i showed up late and he'd be like go do the stairs i'd be like ryan i don't think i really want to and he'd be like all right what do you want to do maybe like can we sit and talk for a little bit he'd be like yeah and sometimes we would like cut our session short and he lived right by me and he'd be like can you take take me home? I'd be like, yeah. I think he was like, I mean, if you want to waste your money, go ahead. Yeah, that's on you. He's like, I get paid regardless.

I had another trainer at Crunch who was a very attractive man. And I don't know if this happens to you like it's hard to get porn scenarios out of your head where like when you're getting a massage and you're like I mean you could just reach up a little higher or like you pervert no I'm kidding I think that all the time

or if you're getting trained and he's getting stretched and he's like in between my thighs. And I'm like, I mean, should we do two things to a different room? Like what's happening? And I remember him like talking about feeling like overworked at some point. And then I was trying to schedule a session with him. And then he sent back a photo of him in a hospital bed.

It looked like he was like bandaged all over his body i think he was in a motorcycle accident or something and he was like no he's basically like can't work out with you this picture and i was like oh no i didn't know how to respond so i was like at least you won't have to work for a while. Like, I know you were overwhelmed. And he didn't respond. I wouldn't have responded either. This man's in a head to toe cast. You said at least you don't have to work anymore.

His whole life is his body and his fitness. And you said, isn't it fun that you can't do any of that? Man, that's really funny. At least you don't have to worry. I think I'm really, I just don't know how to respond when someone gives me information like that. And we're not close. This happened recently. Someone who was working on the house.

They were done with their project. I did not expect to get a text from this person at all because we had finished the transaction. They got my money. This has been done. haven't heard like you haven't heard from me in a while because i got in a car accident and like these things happened and like my back is out of whack but i'm on the mend and i was like okay well i am glad that you are on the mend we're not friends what am i supposed to say i it's not like we were in the middle of a project and like the project had a stall because this person was an accident we had finished i had no no more need to touch this person and then they just gave me this information maybe they just sent it to their client list because they weren't sure what they were in the middle of. Oh, maybe.

Maybe that was it. But it is pretty wild to be like, oh, I don't know you. I was like, I don't, it feels bad that that happened. But I don't, why do I have this information now? Someone who was working on my house was like, oh, I've been out of commission for X, Y, and Z. And I was like, well, if you need a bottle of wine, let me know. And he said I would love one and gave me his address. And I was like, oh.

I was just like, I just like said it. I didn't intend on sending you a bottle of wine. But then I did. And when I got to him, he took a picture and sent it. And he was like, drank it all. And I was like, okay. Where's's my christmas gift like if we're giving gifts to one another why am i the only one sending you gifts when you're going through rough times and for christmas well did you tell him about a rough time that you were going through

no you know what one of these days i'm gonna be like guess what i'm sad here's why i could use a bottle of wine i doubt he'll answer he'll probably be like you need to find a new person to help you with this this year can i tell you something? Mm-hmm. There's a leak in my house. Mm-hmm. And the amount of money that I have to spend to fix it... My bad. ...is too fucking much. That's the quote, too fucking much.

I looked at it, and I screamed, and I threw my phone. Thank God I was on carpet, because then I would have had to buy a new fucking phone it I just being a person who has to do repairs themselves is not fun and I don't I don't want to be an adult anymore like I'm over it yeah are you gonna do the are you gonna go through the repairs or you should no no well i'm gonna get a second quote to see uh if somebody has something a little cheaper but also it's the contractor i've been working with and he was like you really do have to fix this there's vegetation

growing out of your out of your roof on roof on the little balcony part. And then he was like, which means that there's like roots in your ceiling, which means that there also might be mold in your ceiling. If it can grow roots, there's probably moisture. And I was like, so you don't think I should wait another year?

And he was like, no, you're inhaling poison. You're going to die um so i gotta spend that money and i don't want to uh yeah i get it it's like a non-problem but i just really wanted to tell you roof problems my roof is also getting worked on right now. And they put spray insulation in it. And then, like, once they opened it up. And then I'm not really certain why it happened this way, but they didn't put, like, a tarp over it. Oh, Lord.

And so at night, when they went away, there were strong winds. And then there was, and the insulation got all over my yard. Oh, no. And they said that they would clean it up. So they, like, are going to clean it out of the yard. And they're going to put more insulation in. But I was like, but why would you just leave the roof open like that? I guess I didn't think that that would be something that someone would have to say.

Like, make sure you cover up the roof before you go. think that that would be something that someone would have to say. Like, make sure you cover up the roof before you go. Yeah, what if it rained or something? That's literally, that's wild. That is truly wild to just be like, let's leave it open. Yeah. Very strange.

Very, very strange. I'm not down with that. That's not right. It's just not right. It's not. It's not right with that. That's not right. It's just not right. It's not. It's not right, okay? It's not okay. It's not okay.

Yeah. It's not. It's not okay. Mm-mm. No. Mm. Clyde, unfortunately, bit somebody. Mm.

This bat. Yeah, you heard me talking about you. He's luxuriating. Look at him. He's just laying there you're bad Clyde bad so I brought him with me to my weekend in Irvine and the very first fucking day we're there I'm on stage and he bit the server and everyone was like it's not a big deal she was like it's not a big deal I said okay and then she went to the hospital and since he broke skin animal control has to be involved which I fully understand um but he thank god is up to date on his vaccinations

and stuff but he's such a sweet boy but then he's badly behaved i can't bring him anywhere i mean like maybe you shouldn't because i can't yeah i can't bring him anywhere look at him look at that bad that beastly animal who bites people you're so Oh, he's like wagging his tail looking so innocent. I know. I just, I don't understand why he does that. He doesn't bite people

when I'm around. You've never been bitten? No one, like nobody who's in my life has ever been bitten. But then he did go to set with me once with my old assistant

and she wasn't watching him and he bit somebody there too. So yeah, I think he's an at-home boy. He can't go anywhere. Yeah. Isn't it embarrassing, Clyde? Aren't you embarrassed? Clyde's like, I would rather be home. Stop taking me places.

Yeah, he's like, I love car rides and I love going right back inside. Clyde's like, I would rather be home. Stop taking me places. Yeah, he's like, I love car rides and I love going right back inside. Clyde's me. He is you. That is really funny. Just take me back home. Why are we out in a place with people I don't know? Yeah. I just can't get over how much he hated New York.

I can't remember who I was talking to, but they were like, I think you're projecting stuff onto your dog. And I was like, I don't know. That dog kept walking around the streets of New York being like, like lifting his paws higher than normal and like looking around. And it really felt like he was like, ew. This is nasty. These streets. They're not like la

yeah kly's a la dog so bad i don't know what to do with him just leave him home yeah i guess i guess that's what i'll do um he's such a bad boy he has bad separation anxiety i think that's why he bit the lady because i was on stage so he could hear me but he couldn't see me and then one day i left him home alone and he was mad about it he like barked at me and i was like you don't bark at me you've never barked at me and then i watched him on the ring camera look into the camera lens and pee on the floor oh boy he's so bad yes guess what um i try to have him trained once did i ever tell you about this this woman said that he was the rudest dog she's ever met in her whole life because he's like food motivated but like we'll eat your treat and then go back to doing the bad thing he was doing. That's really funny. He's bad.

He can't be trained. You can't teach a dog old trick. No, wait. You can't teach an old... What's this saying? Can't teach an old dog new tricks. There we go. We were nodding because you were close.

We were like, you have half of it. Come on. Everyone was nodding. Just a little bit more. It was really wild to see as I struggled through that. Like, yes, come on. Are you going to do anything for, like, what holiday is coming up? Valentine's Day.

Do you Valentine's? Are you going to do something for Valentine's Day? Probably not actually on the day because I'll be working. I don't do anything for Valentine's Day. I think I'm going to do something this year. Ooh, what are you going to do? I don't know. Wear something slutty and red and take myself out to dinner.

I like that. I think. I've had a hankering for nachos so romantic so maybe i'll go out in a slutty red dress and eat some nachos but i can't buy nachos the way i want nachos how do you want nachos i want ground beef a lot of people have steak and chicken, and I want ground beef. Hmm. And that seems like a nacho at home thing. Maybe, yeah, like a diner?

Uh, diner nachos. I don't, I mean... Ugh! What's wrong with diner nachos? Ew! Okay, Miss I Want Ground Beef. I wonder if Margaritaville has ground beef nachos. Maybe.

I miss Margaritaville. They had everything we needed. Everything we needed. We really didn't ever have to leave. One time for Valentine's Day, I was working at a lingerie shop. And I bought these, like, I don't know if they were heart pasties. But some kind of red, sparkly pasty to put over my nipples.

And then this crotchless, lacy red underwear. And I was like, okay, I'm going to surprise him. I'm going to surprise my guy and then like went over to his apartment did a and like undressed and he was like wow so like does can we take this off now which like yeah he's not wrong because he's like i want i would like my mouth to go where you have all the stuff so can we get all that shit out of the way please that's really funny but also he could have like looked at you for a little bit yeah and then like peeled it off he didn't have to ask you just take that off he could have

i'm mad because there's a way that you take things off and you just do it in like a sexy way yeah wait do you know men like lingerie i'm sure there are some i think it just depends we had never done that before so i think he was surprised to him and you know we hadn't developed this uh like this this language of play and so he wasn't playing with me he was just like okay i see that so can we um do sex now can we do can we uh do the sex now now Now we do sex, right? Maybe I'll get lingerie. Yeah, get some lingerie. And I'll wear lingerie under my slutty red dress.

And it'll be my little secret as I slop down nachos. I also, I hope someone sees this and they're like, that is for me. This girl looking sexy as hell. Slop it down some nachos all by herself. That's the kind of lady I want in my life. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to meet them at Margaritaville.

Wait, Kimmy, can you look up and see if Margaritaville has ground beef nachos? I did. They have nachos, but they don't have ground beef specific nachos. I didn't see any meat options. I'm currently trying to see if anywhere does. So I'll let you know if I find anywhere in the Southern California region. Thank you so much, because that's where I'm going on Valentine's Day. I will drive upwards to an hour.

That's it. An hour is my cutoff. If it's an hour ten, I can't go. I can't do it. Wait, do you have hankerings for foods this year? Yeah, sometimes. What have you been hankering lately? Well, I saw a picture of a really good hot dog today.

Oh, my God. But I haven't had one in a while. I haven't even thought of one in a while. And I saw the picture and I was like, ooh, boy. And it looks like a really tasty hot dog. That's pretty funny.

I don't want any pets. But if I did get a pet, I feel like I would like a cat because it feels like they're low maintenance. And I feel like my personality is more towards a cat. I can see that. Yeah. I can see you with a cat where you're both just in separate rooms at all times and never interact or talk to one another.

We touch each other for one hour and then get the fuck away from each other. The hour of touching has begun and now it's ended. How would you describe yourself? Wait, again? Funny. Oh.

you'd be such great friends with the one and only Miley Cyrus you're friendly people centric I'm sure she would love me doing that and love thrills just like the superstar together you'd be a power duo the party wouldn't start till y'all walk in

You were singing Party in the USA. I was. I skipped up there, pulled something in my leg, and the universe was like, you don't sing Party in the USA when you're not in the USA.

I'll never make that mistake again, nor will I skip again as an adult. Oh, no. Don't let that stop you from skipping. Girl, what if I hurt myself again?

Okay. And accomplish the goals you've set out for yourself. Together, you and Justin would bring the energy wherever you go and would be the creative duo everyone would count on. While some media has portrayed him poorly, Justin is very caring, like a very caring individual, both for others and for the world. He will go out of his way to make those around him happy and relies deeply on

his faith. Did Justin Bieber write this? I actually think we've done this before. And I think I did get Justin Bieber. Cause I remember reading this and being like, I remember being like, is, are they trying to like do a,

like positive Justin campaign? Like to paint, do a, like, positive Justin campaign? Like, to paint him in a positive light since he had, like, such bad behavioral press for a while? Maybe. Quidyourfriends.com is really trying to rehabilitate Justin Bieber's image. This is so funny. He will go out of his way to make his friends happy i can't believe you got justin bieber i'm happy with miley cyrus i like molly i like miley too she's fun she's fun she's very pretty too and also talented and then can really sing boy oh boy very good singer yeah i like when she sings jolene that's

great and those are my thoughts on the number eight and miley cyrus things i like should we help somebody okay yesterday i went to pulse this year and I requested to learn how to do the hardest fucking thing in the whole world and my whole body hurt. Oh damn. I just thought you should know. What was the thing? It's like you fall backwards into a ballerina where

your whole body is twisted and then there's like a foot in front of the pole. It's truly very hard and wild. Damn. Alright, let's listen let's listen so this is an update i think you guys might remember a little bit ago we had a caller who was afraid to introduce their boyfriend to their friends or family and so they called with an update they wanted to clarify something so here they go you guys guys just answered my question on your podcast. I was the one who was very concerned about introducing my boyfriend to my family, even though we've been together for like a year.

So I appreciate your guys' advice so much, really. But I did want to give a little bit more context to the situation because I think I was a little bit flustered before. context to the situation because I think I was a little bit flustered before. So the reason that I'm a little scared or I was a little bit scared about introducing him to my family is because I, my last boyfriend was awful. He was abusive. He was just all around not a good person. And I think the reason that I was really scared about introducing my new boyfriend to my family is because like, I, I thought in the back of my mind of like,

what if it doesn't work out? Or what if there's something that they see that I'm not seeing? And I genuinely don't think that about my current boyfriend. He's the absolute sweetest. He's amazing. But yeah, that's kind of like where my big concern came from. Also, what I said about my sisters is very true. I have three of them. They are all very judgmental. They're all in relationships that are all very great. So it seems like I'm kind of the only one who's been through a rough patch.

And in regards to my friends, there's a four-year age gap between me and my boyfriend. And not that I don't think him and my friends wouldn't get along. It's just different. So that's kind of why I've been a little more hesitant to introduce them to him. But I feel a little bit better. So thank you. Okay. Well, well she feels better so we did our job but yeah i'm so sorry that this uh previous relationship like yeah gave you like traumatized you in a way that made that is currently affecting this relationship. But, you know,

you work on your own timeline. Whenever you feel comfortable, that's when you'll introduce him to people in your life. And hopefully that makes you feel comfortable too. Yeah, and there's no rush. No. No.

No. Next! Hi, Nicole and Sasheer. I've been a listener since episode one and adore your friendship and advice. I have a group, six close girlfriends who I've grown up with since elementary school and high school.

We're in our 40s now. We are dispersed in three different cities and try to meet up in one of our cities each year. However, this year, we are venturing out to taking our first girls trip outside these three cities. I'd love to know if there is a financially equitable way to plan this girls trip. Our incomes are all over the place. Teachers, nurses, scientists, sales, executive assistants, etc. And our family situations are all over the place too, from taking care of elderly parents, dealing with unemployment, having a toddler in daycare,

having kids about to enter college. So do we just create a budget of what people want to spend and go with the lowest amount? Or I've got the most disposable income of the group and happy to help subsidize some of the costs so we don't have to stay and eat at lower budget establishments but i don't know how to offer that uh would i offer to host and pay for everything and send venmo requests afterwards or something let me know what you think thanks and love you both i guess the whole like i don't want to stay. Like, my budget's a little higher, so I would like to stay in, like, a nicer place. I get that. I, what do you think, Sasheer? I think this would be easier if you were in a house. Like, if you had an Airbnb situation, even though Airbnb did us wrong the last time we used it.

Yes. Airbnb situation, even though Airbnb did us wrong the last time we used it. But if you had a house, then you could be like, here's how much it would cost for everyone, but pay what you can. So then if people can pay that amount, they can. And if they cannot, they cannot. And then also, since you're in a house, you can cook in the kitchen. And maybe the people who can't contribute monetarily, maybe they feel more comfortable cooking breakfast for everybody or whatever like providing in some other way and then see how that goes yeah i have done trips with people where i knew i was like doing OK money wise, but I wasn't sure everyone else's situation. And it felt weird to be like, so what can you pay? So I was like, oh, I'll just get the house. And I did what Sashir said.

I was like, pay me what you want. I don't mind. And then some people were like, tell me exactly what it costs. And they paid that to me. Some people were like, here's some money I can contribute. And that's great and fine um and then dinners and such i think that's something to talk about beforehand to be like do we want to go out to eat every night and if some people are like i can't then it's like oh okay well we do have the house and then we all pitch in and groceries and stuff

or if you're okay taking care of like dinners and stuff, then, you know, the first dinner, you just be like, this one's on me. And then maybe somebody else who's doing okay financially could, you know, pay for the next dinner or whatever. But I think it's like okay to talk about it. Yeah. I know it's like a weird, like we are so strange with money here,

but like I fully think it's okay to be like, hey, can you afford this if not that's okay we can just figure out something else um because you don't want to like resent people if you pay for everything unless you just want to pay for everything and then that's okay but like paying for something and then sending a venmo request is i think evil i think you have to be very upfront if you want people to pay for something yeah i think i think you can also break it down too or it's like the house costs this much it'd be this much individually the rental car costs this much uh i guess you can't calculate groceries in advance or you can be like i'll pay for everything

up front and then and then give the total and break down like itemize it and then people can choose what to pay for because maybe people be like okay me and so and so split the total and break down, like itemize it. And then people can choose what to pay for because maybe people will be like, okay, me and so-and-so split the rental car. And then me and so-and-so will split the groceries and then et cetera. Because yeah, if you just pay for everything and then you're like, everyone split evenly. Yeah.

I think having like an open conversation and I would send an email and be like, here's what I was thinking and then put everything down and then be like, respond to me individually so I know where your head is at. And then email the group

and be like, okay, this is what we're doing. And then nobody has to talk about money stuff with anybody else, just you. I think that's also like maybe a kind thing to do. Yeah you i think that's also like maybe a kind thing to do yeah i think that's good yeah have fun on your trip let us know where you go
