I love that you said that because I'm like the kind of making out where you know you're going to get married. That passion where you know it's your soul bait and you're like that passion where you know you're going to fuck. Episode two of Girls Got to Eat. Thank you guys for returning. We're not going to tell you whether episode number every episode.

So we're not going to be like it's episode 69. Well, we might. I'm going to definitely announce episode 69, but all the ones leading up to it and then after. So one, two, three, and then 69. I feel like that's a good mark to hit. Anyway. What's been going on with you this week? How's your week?

Oh, it's good. The week is pretty good. I do have a date tomorrow. Okay. Who is this date with? This date is with a. a 24-year-old very

attractive black man so it's fully how Ashley got her groove back over here just without being in Jamaica have you did black eyes or people of other races before yes for sure most races

equal opportunity employer I'm the opposite if you are like the most boring white Christian male if you were in a frat, you are right up my alley. Oh, Jesus Christ, I just vomited. Yes, I met this 24-year-old. I am in my 30s.

There's a age difference there. It is full-blown house. I got a group back. Last week in a bar, I approached him and his also very attractive friend. I'd had a lot to drink, but they were in this bar.

It was not that crowded of a bar, so they were kind of in there hanging out and I just approached them. I was like, are you guys a couple? Are you, like, looking to like, hang out with girls tonight because like here's me and my friend. Wow, that's bold. It was bold. You had some liquid courage.

I had a lot. I had a lot to drink. They were even like, whoa, what is that opener? Like, are we gay? What bar is this? It's just a dive bar on B called Mama's Bar. Our friend was DJ in there. There was not a lot of people in there.

So they were like stood out to me. And then we ended up going to another bar with them. Yeah, I mean, I'm like never, I was like, I'm not going to hear from this guy again. He's a child. And sure enough. Children want to fuck sometimes. Oh, God. That's going to be the opener.

So when did he follow up with you? And the crazy part was that I didn't, I can't remember exactly. I'm not, I wasn't like blacked out, but it's a little blurry. I hadn't given him my number. Somehow throughout the night, the friend he was with and I exchanged number. It's not in a way. Oh, you gave your, you know, the friend. I don't know.

I just, I can't remember. I don't even know. I just remember parting ways on the street, my girlfriend and me and him and the two of them and being like, yeah, your friend is my number. Bye. And the friend was like, I don't want this. You can make it. Yes. Like it's written on a piece of paper. Yeah. So I was like definitely not going to hear from that guy again. And like don't care. You know what I mean? And yeah, I got a really cute text from him. I guess the next day, two days later maybe. And so my friend didn't want this, but I took your number. Right. But like full, it was. We had like divvied them up. You know what I mean? Like I had, I'll just say. I made out with him in a bar publicly. It's like 3.m. on a Thursday night. That's normal to me. So yeah. He. asked me out in like a cute way. How did he ask you out? I was so cute about it.

Well, um, just Barry, like, what are you doing Wednesday? Why don't we meet at this place at 7.30? And it's a cool, the gameplay, like Fat Cat or whatever, where you play games. So he picked the time and the day. Yeah, I'm like, oh, guys my age aren't doing this? I love that. Yeah, I was like, I'm not, not going to go out with him. And also, like, I have, now that we have this podcast, I have to go, every date I get asked on it.

You'll fire me. But you, yeah, you're definitely fired if you don't start fucking more. But on top of that, guys, if you're listening, pick a time and a place. Don't do this like pussy footing around. Where do you want to go? Just tell me where to be and what time to be there. I loved it. Like, I absolutely loved it.

I'm so glad that this is coming up now. Like, yep, I'll be there. Like, there was no question in my mind. Like, I'm so impressed by this 24-year-old. And I want to say, I'm impressed with the place he picked. He picked a place called Fat Cats, which if you guys haven't, if you don't live in New York or you don't know what this is, it's a place that has activities. So you go to this bar.

So many activities. They have ski ball and they have ping pong and they pool and usually live music. And I always think like for a date, it's nice to do something other than just sit at a bar. Yes. Like you can have, and you can see how people like interact with the world. Yeah. That's fun. And it's just funny to me that I'm like going out with this kid and he wants to go play games.

Aw, it's like your babysitting. Are his parents paying you? What's your hourly rate? Is it $12 an hour? What time can my mom pick you up? I'm not going to lie, when I was 26, a guy's mom picked me up for a date once. Oh, my God. Wait, also, I was with a friend yesterday, and she was like, oh, my God, he can't even run a car.

And I'm like, oh, my God, like, what if he's like, hey, do you mind if you... Do you want to go to a road trip? But you got to rent the car. Maybe that's why he's dating you because he really needs to rent a car. No, he's like, can you just meet me over at Avis? What night is the date? Someone just signed for this car on a Wednesday night. All right, so maybe date night.

Maybe Thursday, more than you. he needs to like rent a car so he thinks you'll sleep over and then you'll rent the car for him. I'm not sleeping over in that frat house. I mean, these guys were clearly, you know, roommates and I'm like, I don't even want to know how many other people live in that apartment. I mean, I had roommates when I was 24. Oh, no, absolutely. But I'm no longer 24. I lived with my boyfriend when I was 24, actually.

That's not true. Anyway. Let's get into it. I think we should just dive right in. I think that now you're talking about going on a date. I want to talk about what happens to me after dates a lot, which is that one of us goes to the one pretty much you know sometimes you go like a few dates but then eventually there's a ghosting that happens disappear in act um so the other thing that we were talking about is I mentioned a concept

to Ashley that she'd never heard before um and this is a concept called benching right which I heard it before because I wrote the bench all through high school basketball but not necessarily in terms of dating it's a perfect metaphor sports are a perfect metaphor yeah yeah um I'm not introducing a concept is super revolutionary, but benching is basically like 2017's way to like fuck with people and really manipulate you. Ghosting is like very 2015. Now I'm like nervous what's 2018 going to bring? We were in bench in 2017. 2018. Whole new ways to be rude to other people that you date. Like guys are just sitting around like, how can we fuck with them this year? I know. I'll fake my own funeral and send our invitation. Anyway, so those of you have never heard the concept of

Benching. It's sort of like a casual ghosting. So instead of just like never hearing from the person again, you slip into this what I call like a textual limbo or like you hear from the person sometimes, right? Like they will send you a meaningful check-in. So a meaningful check-in could be like a photo of their dog or like. So many dogs. It's really a lot of the times a photo of a dog. Or them like. Because they know we can't resist. Or them with a tiger or an elephant or something like that, but something referencing the date that you guys were on, some inside joke. Just to make you think like, oh, they really are thinking about me, but they're not. They're sending that same text messages to 17 other girls.

Oh, no. And in addition to this, you know, you hear from them, and then they make all these plans that are like a casual plan that never come to fruition. So they'll make a plan with you that they know that you can never do. They'll be like, you know, if you're not up to anything, I'll be in Union Square in 45 minutes, and you're like, it's a Monday at noon. Like, I'm at my job. Yeah.

And they're like, well, I tried. They actually checked that you were out of town. They saw that you were out of town and they were like, I've actually had that happening before. Oh, my God. I feel like guys do that. Guys will be like, what are you up to tonight? I'll be like, motherfucker.

I just saw you watch my Instagram story and me like landing in Aruba. This is for real. I thought we need to address this another time. But, oh my God. Has this happening? No, I'm just, the more we're doing this, I'm like, the more I hate men a little more time. I don't hate men because honestly I feel like I've been a huge asshole too.

I feel like we all have times of being assholes to other people. I think men sort of edge a little more into the asshole territory than women. But I'm sure there's a lot of men that are listening. They're like girls are assholes too. Don't date a man, date a boy like I am. I think the difference between men and women in terms of benching is that men do it on purpose and women don't. Like I can't, I've never like purposely thought to do like a meaningful check-in just so somebody doesn't forget about me. Right. So my, and my take on this is that I think a lot of it is fueled by sexual desire.

I think guys are thinking, guys just always, they always want to get late. I'm not saying that they're just running around the streets like dicks out, like, you know, horny all the time. But I mean, they, they're, I think they're more motivated by sex. So I think a lot of the check-ins are, I might want to sleep with this girl again or this weekend or next weekend or whatever it is. And so I want her to think that I'm thinking about her and she thinks I'm being cute and the dog pictures and all that where girls will just booty call you because they can. You know, like, I mean, we've all been there. Like you can just call a guy at 2 a.m. You don't need to have sent him a text two days earlier with a picture of your dog.

You can just call him. And I don't want that. Like, I think he can be reversed sometimes. He was like, I was, okay, I went on a date with this guy. I hadn't talked to him like two weeks and then I was in Miami. And he texted me on a Friday at 6 p.m. No food picks question mark. And I said, what does that mean?

And he said, oh, I thought maybe you'd like send me photos of like cool stuff you were eating in Miami. And I thought to myself, why on earth would I do a thing? Imagine of unprompted at 6 p.m. on a Friday. I started sending some guy I went out with weeks ago photos of my food. He would get a restraining order against me. He would show all of his friends and be like, this girl is mentally ill and insane. Yeah.

I just don't think that, like, I would ever do something like that. Yeah. Well, and it's, like, another term that I think goes hand-in-hand with benching is breadcrumbing. Oh, I don't know this. What? Oh, you don't know breadcrumbing. Okay. It's right up your alley since you're a foodie.

Just, yeah, it's, it is, like it sounds like dropping little tidbits here and there, like a trail. Like to keep you interested, just almost honestly the same type of thing. But I feel like breadcrumbings are like the actual like actions. Like those are the actual check-ins that we're talking about. And I think breadcrumbing is, you know, even easier to do with social media. Like here's a like. Here's a comment. You know, that's guys are, the check-ins are so much easier with those type of action.

Oh, I get the, I have one guy in particular that's actually very cute. We, we have actually like, never been out on a date. Like there's like a vibe between us. He's a friend of a friend. He responds to all my Instagram stories and only DMs me. He doesn't text me. He just DMs me. But it's like, hey, like I'm watching this.

I think it's cute. But it's like, he doesn't ever ask me out. And it drives me insane. And to me, like at some point you're like, what is the purpose of this interaction? Like, I have enough people in my life. I have a family and I have friends that I can talk about this stuff with. Like if you're shit or get off the pot. Like I don't need to be on the roster but not playing on the field.

Totally. And that's, it kind of even goes back to what we talked about last week with the guys that don't want to date you. They just want to stalk you forever and like all of your stuff. I mean, it's this whole benching breadcrumbing concept. And it's just like, you're still in the game, kind of, but you're not getting any plain time unless like everyone else breaks a leg. You know? Right. Or maybe like, I don't know, you've won all 15 games.

And it's like the 16th game of the season. You don't need any of your starters and like we'll just call up the third string. Like, that's... Like, you're not even second string. That's what you call the benched. Totally third string. So I have a lot of people benched, and then I have a lot of people that clearly benched me

that I'll hear from here and there. I mean, it's fine. I like attention, so like any form. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like you... You know, I feel like once you had a certain age, let's say, you hit 30,

and you have had some of those really solid relationships where you felt very prioritized and loved and cherished. And so that... That's kind of where I am, where the age combined with, like, knowing my self-worth. I'm like, I don't have time for this fucking shit. You know what I mean? It's more annoying than it is anything else to me. Like, I think once you've been treated really well in a relationship, it's sort of hard to be like,

oh, I'm just going to go back to being treated like shit. I know. And I, that's where I always feel like you have that person to thank that kind of taught you, like, oh, this is how is this to be treated? I would never thank any of the people I dated for anything, to be totally honest. I mean, but the guy that I think that about, like, he fucked me over too. Yeah, they'll fuck you over. Like, I'm not going to thank them because in the last hour, you just fucked me over.

In the last hour. So, like, no, thank you. So, yeah, so, I mean, I'm sure people listening are like, am I being bench? Yes, the answer is yes. If you're not sure, the answer is yes. We've talked about this before. When you feel like this is happening, chances, not chances.

The reality of the situation is someone is in the game. It's just not you. So when this is happening, it means that to a female, or both, I guess, but I'm just going to talk to the females here. When this is happening to you, it just 99% means that the guy just likes someone else more. Yeah, and that's fine.

There's, we live in a society today where there are literally hundreds of thousands of options. so it's normal that like sometimes other people are going to seem a little bit better or worse at any given time. There's nothing terrible about that, but my mom, my mom is a psychologist. She's an incredibly smart, wonderful lady. And she told me a piece of advice when I was pretty young and it has resonated with me my whole life. She said, when a man wants to see you, he will see you. There's no like, that's just it.

There's no like, I'm unsure about this. Does he like me? Does he not? If a man is not texting you and not making plans of you, he doesn't want to see you. that is just the answer. Yeah. And he will cut off his arm and murder his own mother if it means he gets to see you. He will sit on a horrible date for eight hours.

If it means he gets to sleep with you at the end, if a man wants you, you will know. Right. And that's, we need to be more honest with our girlfriends. And I've had to have those tough. He's just not that in new conversations. And he's not just been busy for three months. You know, he's just move on. And I think there's a lot to be said for realizing that.

I remember reading, he's just not that into you, when I was 20 and changed my fucking life. Like, I was like, oh, my God. And honestly, it was like the best slap in the face ever. I mean, I remember reading. I remember being on a train in York City when I was in college and coming in for the holidays. And it was so eye-opening. And that's not to say that I didn't still put up with a ton of shit later in my 20s for the next decade. But it was a, that was the real deal. I think that we should be more

honest. And look, that doesn't mean that every time somebody doesn't text you back for a whole day, that they think you're a pariah and they don't want to be with you at all. Wait, hold on really quickly. Did you see the meme? And it was like, if someone doesn't text me back immediately, I assume that they don't love me or that they've died from loving me too much. That is the case. Yeah, exactly. So I think about this a lot, and I read a study, and I think it's really interesting about honesty. And do you want somebody to be honest with you or not? Right.

So while we're giving book advice, my favorite book of all time about relationships is called Modern Romance. It's a Zez-An-Sari's book. Just because there was a bad article, but written about him doesn't mean that he can't write a good book? I guess. It was well researched. It was incredibly well written.

Raina also loves all of Harvey Weinstein's movies. I'm just kidding. Let's be clear. I'm not putting Aziz Ansari on the same platform as Harvey Weinstein. We might have to cut this out. Keep going. Anyways, modern romance is the great book, and basically they did a lot of research around the world about different things pertaining to relationships. So one of the studies they did was in a roomful of people, they said how many people have basically ghosted out of a relationship.

Most people raised their hand. And they said how many people have been ghosted and really hated it? And everybody raised their hands. So everybody is doing these things. They're performing a behavior that they don't enjoy having performed to them. But the third and final question was, would you prefer somebody just be, is honest with you, right? Like, do you want the laundry list of reasons from somebody? And, you know, at which point do you want it?

If I've gone out with somebody on like two dates, I don't know that I really want. I don't know that I want to know. Right. Yes, exactly. I, if I've gone out with somebody once or twice, I don't need them to give me a character assessment. Right. assessment of why they don't like me. It can just be we didn't vibe.

Right. I don't necessarily need to know or care. Like I don't think that you've like accumulated enough information about me into like booze-filled evenings to like decide if you like me or not. Right. And my take on, we've talked about this before, if you want one date with somebody like one casual drinks, it gets a little gray when you sleep with them and spend, you know,

know 10 hours with them. But if you just do that one casual drink date, I don't think you owe that person anything. And I think you can totally just dip out. And I think we can all safely assume, A, it's, you didn't vibe, B, there's someone else. You know, C, they died. Whatever. Like, I think you can just kind of get, I don't even know. Like, if you go in one day with somebody, like, I went on one day with this guy and he continued to ask me out after. And I'm like, do I, what do you want me to, do you really, do I need to say this? Like, I don't want to go out. with you. Like, just take the hit. Right. Like, I thought that I've been very clear. We're all out here going on first dates. Like, you know, just after that, you don't know anybody anything. My phone is in

my hand 24 hours a day. Like, it's, I strap it to my head while I'm sleeping. Bring, bring, bring. Like, I got your text. If I didn't respond, it was on purpose. I know. I had a guy recently I've been trying to reach out. I'm like, I know. Right. I got the outreach. Right. No response is a response. You got my response. Well, have you been ghosted while we're talking about it? Do we want to share some ghost stories?

Oh my God, so many ghost stories. I will say, I've never been ghosted in an actual relationship. That's very different, I think, when somebody ghosts out of, like... And when I say actual relationship, I mean, like, you know, you've been on six or seven dates, not like a full-blown, but, like, you're in each other's lives. That's never happening. Yeah, like,

people get ghosted by their boyfriend, their girlfriend. Like, that is a brutal. Right. But I have some good ghost stories. My, I had a really sad ghost story. You know, it's so disappointing when this happens to you. I will say, okay, so I went out with this guy who, the way I met him is probably just like karma for how he ended up treating him. I met him on a date with somebody else. I was on a date with somebody else. That's how my parents met. They were both on dates with other people. That's really cute. They're going to be married like 40 years. In Delaware? Oh, okay. So this is like, all right, so I changed my tune.

in the booming metropolis of Dover, Delaware at the club. Your mom walked up to your dad, and she's like, I'm not really feeling this. There's not really that many dudes around, so, you know, if you want to take a turn. She's like, there's this dude. I'm on a date with, but anyway, keep going to go. It's not going to last. Anyways, I was on a date with a guy who owned a restaurant. I was waiting for him to finish up, and we were going to go out to dinner.

And I sat down at the bar that he owned, and I struck up a conversation with this guy next to me. and he was really cute and I thought we were really vibing and I'd had a lot to drink so I was feeling bold and so I just like on my way out I slipped to my business card and I was like, you should text me. So we were like texting all week and like really good vibes.

He was a musician and a producer. He produces like the, what's the, it's called the Grammys. That's what it's called. Never heard of it. Not sure if you've heard of this before at the Super Bowl.

So he does a lot of like really cool. Like production stuff. What a loser. He's also a musician. So I thought like this is, I've never dated anybody like on the real creative side. I thought that that was really cool. Anyway, so our texts were great. He asked me on a date.

We went out to dinner and like vibes were really great and we're like, he kissed me at dinner, which I thought was a little soon, but fine, whatever. We bopped around a couple bars. It was like the most fun I've ever had to somebody. Yeah, the perfect date. We were on like a seven-hour date, which is a very me thing. Like I go out a lot of days. I'm just like so amazing.

People can't part from me. And I thought it was amazing. We were making out like crazy. They kind of making out that you just know that like the sex is going to be so good. And I love that you said that because I'm like the kind of making out where you know you're going to get married. That passion where you know it's your soulmate and you're like that passion where you know you're going to fuck. My mom's listening. She's like, I'm never going to get grandkids.

am I? Oh my God. Someone marry me. Anyways, really, really liked him. I thought we'd this amazing time and I decided for once in my life to not be a big whore and sleep with somebody on a first date. And so I'm like a nice girl. I don't sleep with him. I go home at like three in the morning by myself.

I never heard from him again. I mean, were we on the same day? Right. Well, that's, yeah, that's the thing. I mean, I guess it's better that you didn't sleep with him. Oh, my gosh. I would have felt terrible. if I slept with him.

It really ate me so badly because, of course, just, you know, like every man, he watched my Instagram stories, like crazy. Well, that's the thing where, you know, there are definitely men out there that are just doing what they need to do until they sleep with you. But you didn't sleep with them. So then you're just like, wait, so it was my personality? Or like, what? I just joked on my hair.

I guess he sat through this date for eight hours. maybe while I laughed at my own jokes or something, like thinking that there was like sex at the end of the yellow brick road. And like when there wasn't, he was just done with it. You think he would have tried again. Yeah, because I was down. Or he was like, I can't do this eight hour. Right.

She was so terrible. Oh, no. Make him go to the next place. Like held a gun to his head. No, it sounds like you guys had a great date. Yeah, exactly. That's one of those like were we on the same date situations. I don't get it.

I was so bummed. Actually, in preparation for this particular podcast. I made a list of a bunch of guys that ghosted me. So I would like know which ones. By name. I, um, um, you want to tell a ghost story? I want to tell a ghost story. This one's even got a little like gore to it. Yes. We need to play some like spooky music. Okay. I, I, you're good. I know. I'm good at everything. Ghost stories. Um, this was not too long ago. This is back when I lived in Atlanta. And there was this guy, I guess we'll just, I don't, whatever.

We'll call him Brad. We'll change his name. I don't want people thinking we're outing them on this. No, no, I never want to say people's running. Yeah, so Brad, we'll say Brad. We, this was the guy that I had run into a number of times. I worked with his best girlfriend, like in one of my freelance positions. So not day-to-day office, but bottom line, I would like run into this guy here and there.

always very flirty. His friend would tell me he was into me, he had a crush on me, but he was kind of shyer. He was intimidated by me. He was a little bit older. You thought I was just this like young hot chick, whatever. You are. He was not incorrect. Thanks. So I don't know. I mean, I think he probably had a girlfriend sometimes. I was probably dating somebody. It just never was one of those things that worked out. But we would always randomly run into each other. Atlanta is a very small town for a big city where you're like, people are always doing the same things. I'd seem at like a festival here and there. Always just flirty situation. But nothing ever really came to until one night. We were out. I saw him at a bar. He was just there with some friends. I was there with some

friends. And immediately we're like, oh my God, it's you kind of thing. And just were all about each other that night, had a bunch of drinks. I remember having such a good time at this bar, went to this other bar next to it called Northside Tavern and like dance. They like blues bands in there and just like we're dancing all night long, had like the best time where it was like, we're probably going to date now, finally. know, it's been like years in the making. And we go back to my place. And it's all a little fuzzy. I hate to say this. I don't think we had to expose. Like, we may, I don't even know, very lots of drinks involved, whatever. You couldn't tell, like, that you had had sex?

I just don't remember. This was years ago. We, we did stuff. But I remember being like very passionate rolling around situations. You're not sure if you're penetrated. Just don't know there's penetration. Oh my God. Is that bad? It's bad for him because that means if you had sex and his dick was so small. No, I just, it was just so, such a blur. Okay. I'm going to guess, don't, it's fine. Whatever. It's fine. Please stop talking. Okay, so, wake up the next morning, like, whoa, you know, like hung up, like what happened last night kind of situation. Wake up, I mean, I probably woke up like seven or eight in the morning, and he was gone. And I was like, that's not ideal.

You didn't know he slept over? He definitely slept over. We went to, we went to, bed together. We like fell asleep together. I wake up in the morning. He's gone. He has not woken you up to say goodbye. No, no, no. Are you naked? Yeah, I was not clothed. I was not clothed and he's gone. And I was like, that did I imagine him? Right. Like that sucks. And we hadn't exchanged information because we never had each other's numbers all those years. Like we just, we didn't exchange numbers that night. We were out together. Yeah. So did not exchange numbers. I'm like, okay, wow, Brad. So then I get up to go to the bathroom and I see a trail of blood. What? Oh my God. Like little blood droplets leading into the bathroom. Oh my God. And I was like,

what happened here? And then I see one of my white hand towels covered in blood and this floor was smeared like there had been. Like there had been a murder? Like there had been a murder. And I'm like, I'm crazy, but I'm not that crazy. Like, I definitely didn't stab this guy, right? But my dog looks very concerned. Like, I'm like, he knows what went down. You know, like, I am looking at him like, do we what happened last night? Just talk once.

Yes. So I was really freaked out. I was really, really freaked out. And I would leave the apartment. Right. And I'm like, he's, I murdered this guy. So he, I had to go to a meeting. I remember, like, very flustered, like got my shit together and left the apartment.

I was like, I'll see you later to my dog. Please, like, don't kill yourself. And so got home finally, the later that day, and trying to wrap my head around what happened. It was like, I don't even have a way to get in touch with this guy. Couldn't find him on Facebook. I don't think he was on Facebook. And so then... Did you invent this guy?

I see what happened. And I hadn't been over to the other side of my bedroom. I think this is, like, huge king bed. And, like, I see a huge puddle of spilled nail polish, OPI, Caj and Shrimp, and a giant shard of a nail polish bottle covered in blood. Holy shit. Then I remembered what had happened. It all kind of came back to me.

When we were rolling around in the bed the night before, I guess there was a nail polished bottle and I tossed it across the room like a fucking pair of panties. And it splattered on the floor. So this guy got out of bed to go to use the restroom in the middle of the night and stepped on it and bled all over my apartment. Oh my God. then left. Like bleeding from the foot.

You got like spectacularly ghosted. He wasn't even like, let me wake this girl up to apologize. Like I think, and so I was like, well, I guess you can ghost somebody if you get injured at their home. And so I saw him six months later in a bar and was like, oh my God, it's bloody foot. That's what I called him. And we, I went over to him, was like, you're alive, basically, you know. And he fully told me like, yeah, I was really bleeding.

obviously. But you don't think that it's like fucking weird to not wake the person up and be like, I've had like a serious accident. And I apologize because my DNA is all over your apartment. And who knows? Maybe he tried and I was just super passed out

from drinking so much. But I mean, yeah, I was like this guy might actually be dead. Like he might be a ghost. Isn't that what we all want? It's like if somebody's ghosted us, We want them to have died. Yeah, we want you to have died.

Yeah. Like, it's, it would be, like, I don't know. So that's my main ghost story. And I wanted, so bottom line, if someone gets injured and bleeds all over your apartment, it's kind of okay if they ghost you. That's really embarrassing. Like, in terms of the most embarrassing date stories, like, I can only think of one thing that's ever happened with, like, bodily functions. And you usually aren't talking about blood.

No, it's, like, exactly. When we say bye. And it wasn't me. It wasn't me. It was him. It's always super disappointing to me when I think somebody has ghosted me. I think we've casually ghosted each other. And then you're getting benched?

No, no. I went on a date with this guy a couple weeks ago. I really was not feeling it. He was terrible. And clearly, I don't know what his problem was, but he wasn't feeling it either. So I didn't hear from him the next day even to say, like, hey, I had a nice time with you last night. So I just thought, like, great. We have comfortably decided to never talk to each other.

And then a week later, he was like, hey, if you want to come to this event, my company's hosting, I'll comp you a ticket. And I was like, don't do any favors, motherfucker. Yeah. And I just never responded. But like, I love a comfortable ghost. You're both, like, not into it and you just comfortably walk away. It feels nice.

It really does feel nice. I have gone on a few first dates here in the city that ended with the standard. We should do this again sometime. And we both know we're not going to. And that feels good. It does feel good. You know what? You are one last person I need to talk to every day. Because I, let me explain you how much attention I like getting.

Thanks for the wine. Bye. I will send the same text message to seven people just so that I can have seven conversations about the exact same thing. I really... Copy paste, copy paste, copy paste. I talked to... Ashley's like the first person I talked to before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning. We're actually dating.

Surprise. Last night I closed my eyes texting you and the first thing I did this morning, like one eye open was being like, hey, did you see all the reviews for the podcast? Yay. And then I was like, oh, I'm dating Ashley. All right. It could be worse. All right. Well, should we head over to Instagram? You want to play a game? Play a game.

Okay. So this is something we've been doing. If you listen to the first episode, we played Never Have I Ever with our Instagram followers at the end. And it was pretty fun and revealing, to say the least. So let's do that again. Maybe we'll mix it up, but right now let's stick with Never Have It's fun. People seem to like it. All right. We'll take submissions next week for other games. But we're going live on Instagram.

We're taking your questions and we're going to, well, let's get the wine. Okay. We're going to get the wine. We'll go live on Instagram. We'll be right back. We're going live on Instagram. Hi, everybody. Cheers.

Oh, you got the bottle. I'm sex. Don't drink out of the bottle. Yeah, don't drink out of the bottle. I just joining. We're just joining. Never have I ever. Do you want to explain the rules?

It's all you need to know. Do you think people really don't know? Okay. You never know. Never have I ever is. Rain is already drinking is when you ask if someone has done something and everybody that's done it drinks. So start asking away, right?

Yeah. Did I interrupt you? Sorry. Jiang underscore we way. Never have I ever used a dildo. Yeah, of course. What are we fucking nerd? I drink this whole glass.

Here's the thing, though. A vibrator, I like the electric one. My first sex toys were like the full-on dildo dick vibrator. Like, now I just used a clitoral stimulator. But like I used to get in there with the dildo. You're like digging inside a vagina? No, like just a big dildo. Mining your vagina?

I threw them all out. Okay. And have I ever hooked up with someone from my stand-up audience? Have you? Yeah. I've hooked up with a fan. I feel like it's very sexy. You're not, you should drink.

Oh, shit. I feel like, very sexy to, like, see you up on the screen. Like, up on the stage. Yeah, people think I'm, like, cooler than I am, you know? Everybody thinks I'm cooler than I am. I had a guy, we met at a show, and later that night he sent me a dick pick. That was fun. Daisy Allen wants to know how we ever liked somebody of the same gender.

I will drink. I've hooked up with girls before. Yeah. Have you? No. I, like, I'm sure that's going to happen at some point. I've, like, made out with girls, like, for attention, but I've never, like, been intimate with a girl, like, seriously. But.

I mean, I'm into it. I feel like I hate men a little more every day. Never have I ever received a facial. They probably mean when what, you get someone comes on your face? Yes, it's not. I haven't. It's not like a spa facial, Ashley. I could honestly really use a spa facial.

I'm gonna go ahead and drink for that. What's it like? And also, what do you do? Do you just like plug your nose and like going underwater? In the moment, like a lot of things come out of my mouth, right? Like I will like, I will say to somebody like, come on my face. I think it sounds in the moment like it's crazy. And then you, and then they do it.

and you're like, it explodes like confetti on your face. And you can't open your eyes because have you ever gotten into your eye? No. I swear to God, if I was like come on my face, I would be like, okay, I'm ready. Totally. I had somebody like confetti come all over my apartment the other day. I had to paint the wall. I literally had to buy a can of paint.

No. It was a freshly painted way wall. I had to fix it. All right, guys, that is a wrap on episode. Two of Girls' Gotta Eat. We made it again. Ashley's so proud of our accomplishment. Like us in the iTunes store.
