Who would you be dating right now? I don't know, Justin Bieber probably. No, he's taken. Beaver's taken. He wasn't taken that. Then I would be dating Haley Baldwin. Fine. Good luck with that.

Welcome back to another episode of Girls Got to eat. Quarantine Week 3. This is going to be like when we used to say the numbers of the episodes, but it's, we started again at the pandemic. So Girls Got to Eat Pandemic Episode 3. Welcome. You made me stop saying it after like episode 6. No, because you stopped being able to count.

I'm kidding. It was so stupid. Someone called you stupid on the internet and then you couldn't count anymore. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's a big word. Prophecy? Yeah. I'm reading the dictionary while I'm in quarantine.

To be honest, what's the earliest you started drinking during this? I mean, we start every day around five, but yesterday I needed red wine for a little photo shoot I was doing like for an Instagram post. and I needed red wine in it and it was 2 p.m. I was like, I'll drink it. Okay, so we had a meeting with people at YouTube yesterday to make our channel better, and you showed up in your pajama pants drunk. You were laid out on the couch in silk pajama pants. Did you know that you were on video?

Why are you saying pants? Like, I just wore pants. Why are you not saying pajamas? Why are you saying pants? I was wearing full pajamas. Like, you could only see the top of the pajamas. Yeah, they're nice. They're my fancy pair. I wore them for the shoe. The first thing out of this total stranger's mouth was like, wow, you wear some fancy pajamas.

Listen, guys, go look at the post. It's up. It went up yesterday. It's for Bumble. It's an ad. It's me and my pajamas with Dewey drinking wine on a FaceTime date. On a Bumble. I didn't even see this. No, it's not supposed to do. I forgot whether we record our podcast. You think this is live? That's how podcasts work. Well, that's nice time to announce the YouTube channel is up. It's live. It's YouTube.com slash Girls Got to eat.

Oh, I'm so excited. We got that vanity URL. It's beautiful. It's so beautiful. It was like just a bunch of numbers and letters. I was like, what is this? Can we change it? Ashley wanted to be slash GGE 69.

That was a joke. She was already in her silk PJs. So it would sound weird to ask the people at YouTube for this. Okay. So let's do a wellness update. How are you feeling? Mentally, I feel like I've had like a pretty good week. Like, you know, there's like the stages of grief.

And I feel like obviously, like, everybody's changes all the time. But I feel like I'm in, like, the acceptance phase of the grief for what's happened. Like, I've accepted that this is happening. I've accepted that this is my reality. Yeah, I would give anything in the world to, like, hug my parents. I can't wait to get on a play. The first thing I'm going to do is get out of play and hug my parents. But I found that, I mean, I get up early.

I've been cooking every day. And then I found the, like, daily Zoom calls with somebody that I love, seeing the face of somebody I love, every day has really, like, helped me mentally. And, you know, now I can dedicate my time to charity and sharing articles and, you know, talking to you, making people laugh. And so I feel like I've just, that's where I'm at. I'm at the acceptance phase where like, this is happening. We're in it, you know. I have been saying that too, actually.

I just feel like this is my life now. And I try not to think too much about the old way of life and the memories. I try not to think about where we should be right now touring. I try not to think about what I could be doing in New York. I mean, I am happy here. I'm with my family. I love being here. But I have found that I kind of need to keep this.

This is my life mindset and settle into it. Like I'm going to be here for at least a month. So I'm like, I should really settle in. And, you know, I still had stuff in a suitcase. I'm like, what am I doing? You know, like I need to put this in the dresser. Like this is, I live here now. So that has helped me too, like getting in these routines and just not feel it.

not thinking that it's permanent, but almost in my head feeling like it is. Yeah, I mean, for a long time and probably still I will for a while I was waking up, you know, and you're crying and you're inundated with every like meme and news story. And you wake up to a thousand text messages. And it's just like I feel that accepting it at least is part of the battle so that you can make this your new normal. So alcohol. Alcohol also helps a lot, a lot of alcohol.

But speaking of our old lives and, you know, what we used to do, which was tour and see you guys in all your cities. Just a quick update that you know that all the shows from March, April, and May have been rescheduled. Check the website. But like we mentioned last week, we're still working on those rescheduled dates for San Francisco, Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland. It's our number one priority trying to figure out how to get them all together again. We had a perfect schedule. It's so sad to see it go.

But we're working on it to try to make it as good as it can be for you guys. So again, don't message us because we don't have answers. And the, what are ones people are getting, having issues with? So what should be happening, guys obviously have patience with the, you know, the entertainment industry as well. Every entertainer in the world had to cancel their shows. But you should be getting emails with the new dates.

And your tickets automatically transferred. If you do not want to transfer the tickets, just call the venue. Contact your point of sale. There's only two exceptions to add. So Orlando automatically refunded all the tickets. again, it had nothing to do with us. They just did it. So you can re-buy those tickets if you'd like.

They're on our website. They're on the Orlando Improv site. And then for Houston, we had two shows. We're going to do definitely one now. So the shows from March 25th, those tickets did not transfer. Only the tickets from March 26th automatically transferred. So you would have seen a refund for the 25th. And, yeah, like Ashley said, we don't have any control over this.

So if you guys have questions, contact the venues, please. And we'll get you those dates for the West Coast. As soon as humanly possible, we work really hard to route everything together and pick the best theaters. Nobody is more obsessed with picking theaters that are great for you guys to have a show in. So we're working on it. Yeah. And that and, you know, the YouTube, you check us out. And those are pretty much our housekeeping items.

We have such a fun episode today. This is a couple that I have been following for years. I love them so much. They were always on my list. And to get them together is such a treat. We didn't know if we were going to be able to do it when we weren't. aren't recording remotely, but now we can have whatever we want because everyone's just home, what are they going to do? So we have Ariel Vandenberg and Matt Cutschall. I followed them both

individually for years and then they became a couple and it was like, oh my God, this is the best couple ever. So we're hearing their whole journey today. I hope you guys find as interesting as I did. This was like very, this episode was self-serving for me because I was dying to know their story. But we had a lot of fun stuff with them. They talked a lot about what to do when you're quarantine, productivity, creating stuff like that too at the end, which we loved having that conversation with them, but a lot of it's about, like, following in love with your best friend and stuff like that. So it's really fun. Yes, I loved recording them. I have to tell you, they are the first people that I followed after you and I became friends. You introduced me to them. I remember,

right in the beginning. And I was like, this girl is so gorgeous and this guy is so gorgeous. And they seem so cool. And like, how could they, I always worry about, like, you know, don't they always say never meet your heroes. You know, not that they're my heroes. But, you know, I always worry, like, you know, what are they going to be like? And they couldn't have been cooler, more open and honest. I think you guys are to love it. And we didn't. And we didn't, like, focus too heavily on, like, quarantine stuff because, like, we're not going to hammer this every week. So it's just like, this is a couple. And we're telling you their story.

And they were so great. They're going to talk about farting and pooping in front of each other and all kinds of stuff. And then at the end, we have maybe our favorite segment to date, at least our favorite during quarantine. And that is the fights and bickering you guys have gotten to with your significant others that you're quarantined with. And we got thousands of submissions. and we've been trying to pick the funniest ones and not have a three-hour game at the end. It was so hard to narrow this down,

but you got, y'all love to fight with each other right now. It is great. Yeah, that's pretty much what's in store. Oh, and then we forgot to throw in, by the way, that we did collect donations from our Girls Got Eat Live show that we did in lieu of our Texas shows. We did a show on Saturday night. We asked you guys, if you wanted to donate,

you certainly could. And we raised $10,000 from you guys. So thank you so much. much. We set up a girl's got a podcast, Venmo. You donated, and we promised you we were going to donate it to health care workers in need. So that is exactly what we've done. We did a grassroots organization in New York, and we also did Be Strong, which is Bethany Frankl's organization. So your money went directly to helping people in health care in need. Yeah, they're getting, the one in New York, they're getting like the PPE and the masks and stuff to the people that

need it. And Bethany's organization is just, they're doing whatever needs done. So, you know, We just trust them with our money and your money. And then we have one more thing we're working on. We'll keep you posted on it. We saved a little and we're going to see if we can get this thing done that we want to get done with one of our partners. And if not, we're going to probably donate it to help send some food, healthy food, to the hospital workers and the nurses and doctors and stuff working in the hospitals.

So plenty of places to send it. And we'll keep you guys posted. But thank you so much. That was incredible. The live show. The next one will be April 18th, which should have been our Philly show with the Fillmore, 8 p.m. Instagram live. Girls got to eat.

Put it on your calendar. What else are you doing? Where else do you guys go and we'll see you guys there? Well, I wanted to, since we're talking about influencers, you know, we have a couple on today and we're talking about what we've done to give back. I just, I kind of wanted to address something in just, you know, overarching, but also prompted by a situation that happened this week that I kind of, you know, dedicated some time to on my social media was an influencer.

really popular influencer. I mean, you've seen it. Her name's Ariel Charnas. She was under fire for the way she treated having the coronavirus. Some people think she didn't have it. Whatever. She said she tested positive for it. And she honestly treated the whole thing in a seriously wild, irresponsible way. You can look it up. It's all over the internet. But she got a test when she wasn't even that sick. She didn't depict the virus or the quarantine as seriously as she should have. She was doing Louis Vuitton. on unboxings while she was awaiting her test results. Like the whole thing again, Google it, the whole thing is out there on the internet. And that's the main issue that she was just setting a unrealistic and honestly dangerous example of someone having this deathly virus that is taken

over the world. But on top of that, she hasn't really done much of an effort, if at all, to give back in any way. And I got to say, if she has given to charities and she's done efforts that I don't know about, then great. And all the deep dives I saw, they didn't mention it, but I don't follow her. I don't see all her stuff. So she could. I hope that's the case. I just don't want a million DMs about it. I don't know everything about her life. She could be out there giving. I'm not aware. If she is great. But she certainly hasn't been that vocal about doing any sort of effort since actually having the virus and treating it the way that she did. And this is on top of it being someone that lives in New York, like the eye of the storm. And the point of this isn't totally to just drag this

woman. Like, yeah, the whole thing really pissed me off. But that's not why we're like bringing up on the podcast as much as we just want to use the example that was in the spotlight this week to open up a larger conversation about people with influence and what they do with it. And I do think that influencers, ourselves included, have a responsibility now more than ever to set a good example and use our influence for good. I think anyone who is financially secure and has any sort of following should be giving back and encouraging their followers to do the same right now. I'm not saying that people with money and power need to contribute in every crisis. Like we all have our causes we feel passionate about.

It's not humanly possible to put money and effort in time towards every terrible thing that happens every day all over the world and every cause that needs help. But this is the biggest crisis any of us have ever dealt with in our lifetime. It affects the entire world. It affects every single person. and I think that it's kind of all hands on deck. So that's just how I feel. I personally always give where I can.

You and I have done our best with causes that we feel strongly about. And I don't really like it when people have the opportunity and they don't use it to use their influence positively. Yeah, I totally agree with everything you said. And I've been thinking for weeks, you know, what is somebody with a following at a show as large as ours, what is my responsibility, what is my social responsibility, how do I use my influence for the best.

I think about every single thing I post and every single thing that I promote and every political cause I get behind and every charity and who can I help and how can I help them. That doesn't mean that everybody has to do that. Not everybody in the world needs to do as I've done, and I'm not doing a perfect job either. I thought a lot about, you know,

what is the message that I should be putting out and you should be putting out? And I think that, you know, when you build a following and you make money because of that following because you've made yourself a public figure, you have volunteered to have a certain type of social responsibility because people are making decisions about their life based on what you've said. And whether they're buying T-shirts because you say buy these T-shirts

or they're going out making huge life decisions, you have volunteered yourself and said, you know, I have a following, I make money from that following. People listen to you and you do have a responsibility. And I mean, God forbid you actually make people risk their lives. And I don't, just because that girl did what she did, that didn't mean other people had to follow suit. but the truth is that she has a million and a half followers

and you do have a responsibility to those people. I think of it like you can't just take and take and take and not give. You can't. I don't know when it comes back to get you. I don't know how you sleep at night. You can't. I'm not saying like her. I don't know how you sleep at night.

I'm saying for me personally, you can't just take. You can't just be given privilege and money and given the tools that you need to succeed in the world. And then even and then get success. and then be even more successful and then be making money and people looking up to you. You can't just take and take and take and not give. You can't. You can, but I couldn't. And I don't ever want to live my life like that. And I think the more that you get in life that's

positive, that's money, fame, recognition, whatever it may be, success. You can't just not get back. I agree with you. And I think that not only just if you can't give back financially, I think that you at least have a responsibility to guide people to doing the right things. And I think we're really seeing people for who they are right now. I think I have never unfollowed so many people on Instagram in my entire life. I'm just like, unfollow, I just, the tone deafness of some people. And again, I'm not a perfect human either. There's probably things I've done that are not perfect. And again, you know, you could probably rewind three weeks ago. Maybe I said something about this that wasn't correct. But, you know, especially these people that are talking about how fat they're

getting. I'm so sick of these posts, these girls that are like so perfect with these flawless body, about how fat they're getting. Can we hold off on those posts for a little while? To me, it's like so tone deaf to be complaining about this when like half of the world has lost their jobs, lost a family member, lost their health, you know? Mm-hmm. You've gained a couple pounds. Tone deaf is the perfect word.

Like, I've just seen stuff that I'm like shocked by. I'm shocked. Like, I'm like, we don't operate in the same world that you felt like this was acceptable to post this, to act like this, say this. It's crazy. No. I just fucking crazy. And like, I just, I feel the same way as you.

You could make a case for things that we've said and then go back and you could find stuff we've done in the past and you could call us hypocrites and you could do that with most people. You know what I mean? Like nobody's perfect. Everyone's going to act hypocritically without realizing it sometimes, you know, you can drag somebody for anything. You know, no, we're not all out here like fucking Mother Teresa.

We're just not. We're human. But I think that we try to be good people. So many influencers and just people in the world also try to be good people. are listeners, you guys donated so much. We know some of you guys don't have any money. We know that so many of you are students and you still threw us like $10 or whatever it was for us to be able to give back and it means the world.

And I just think there's people that are generous and there's people that aren't. And you're seeing it now. Everybody's true colors are shining so bright. If you can't positively contribute to the world and shut the fuck up and sit down, that's what I think you should be doing. Okay. Amen. And I don't think that most of the world is bad.

I think most people don't know what the hell to do. I think this is unprecedented times we're living in. I think that the girls used to talk about how fat they are feeling. Of course, that's what they're talking about now. I don't think anybody knows what to do. But I think that, you know, I love what you said, which is that like our listeners, it's a lot to give $10 right now. And so many people flooded our Venmo and gave $5, give a dollar.

And I'm very moved that people want to do just something little for the world. You know, I think there is a lot of goodness. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. That's all I got to say. You can't just take and not give. of, well, you can, but I don't know what happens to you in the afterlife.

All right. That's our soapbox for the day. Thank you guys for coming to our TED Talk. We're not going to trash the president today, but just know we hate him deeper on ours. Just know internally we're trashing him, just not on this podcast today. Let's talk about some masturbation stuff. Yeah. So we were talking about, you want to just tell your, do you want to just tell, we'll give an updated vibrator story.

Yeah. Last week we talked about my dad almost finding my vibrators. The box came and he was on his package sanitation kick and he almost opened the vibrator box. We told the whole story. It's also on our Instagram actually if you want to go watch it on our video. But what happened this week was that if you guys don't know, I've said it a couple times, my parents live on, we live on this farm. They have a house on the farm that they built. And when I come here, I stay in like this old farmhouse. This isn't like we're rich and we have a fucking plantation. I want to make it very clear. It's this house. It's been a our family. It's not, it's big, but it's like a big old ass house. It's like, it looks very murdery. It's scary. I stay there alone. I'm scared every night. And it's because Dewey. I don't know. You sleep there alone. It is terrifying. I call it the murder house. So I have like my own space on the farm when I'm here. And a lot of it being because Dewey has the problem with the cats, it's a whole thing. So I'm not like in my old childhood bedroom. So I'm really, I can do whatever I want in that house. You know, like, I think when people heard about the vibrators, they were like, are you just like masturbated in your bedroom right next to your parents' bedroom. And room like it's not like that and no shade you can do that too i've you know no no judgment but i do have my own space so i'm my parents are never in there you know when i'm in there when i'm doing my thing when i'm masturbating whatever i could be having like phone sex orgies they'll never know but a couple days ago i was sleeping and i was having this like sex dream i it was so i told you about it but we were in charleston i was there with this guy i was editing the episode and then i got finished and we started fucking whatever i had a very realistic graphic sex dream and

I'm in the middle of it. I'm probably, you know, about to climax. And I hear my dad's voice screaming, Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, I jolted awake. He had come over to grab Dewey because he walks the dogs in the morning sometimes. I go sometimes sometimes I don't. So he came over to get Dewey to take him and the other dog on a walk. And he's in the house because he has a key, obviously. And he's like yelling up the stairs, woke me up during my sex dream when I was about to

climax, my dad's voice. I cannot. This is like a horrifying, really put yourself in this position if you were listening. You are like having a fucking hot dream and the voice over you is your dad. Like that is horrifying. That's why I can't master me in my parents' house. I was so mad and I was like,

what do you want? He was like, I'm here to get Dewey. He's like doing me a favor by walking my dog and Dewey goes down the stairs. And then he was like, his collar isn't on. And I was like, it's up here. And I was just threw the collar. down the stairs. I was so, I couldn't get back to it. You could never get back to your good dreams.

Oh, not the good sex dreams. But I was thinking, can you imagine how many times your parents were like getting it in when you were growing up and you were like downstairs being like, mom, mom, just like, do you think it killed your dad's boner or do you think he powered through? Oh, shut up. Tell your story. I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to ruin my night.

But you have a pretty funny story. I've been having a lot of sex dreams lately. because I'm not getting any action. I got a really sexy, really sexy pick of somebody's sexy body, and I was trying to masturbate to it, and then Ashley texted me in the middle of it, and so I had to stop because her name popped up.

It might as well have popped up and said, Mom, it just immediately killed my clitoris boner. You sent me the screenshot of this guy's hot pic with Ashley Heseltine at the top. Like, I'm so sorry. I mean, I was masturbating when I didn't lose my sense of humor. I was like, I got to show Ashley this. I screenshot it.

You're screenshotting as you're coming. Oh, my God. This is how low I'm stooped. I'm masturbating to shirtless photos of dudes now. That's what I'm doing. Seventh grade. You're in dark times. Yeah.

I want to tell like one more story because you said the funniest thing and we said we would talk about in the podcast. Earlier this week, I had a situation with a guy, and this is, this is the guy that I was, you know, dating before this whole thing. I've talked about it. But we, we've been talking off and on. And I hadn't heard from him a little bit, and he slid to my DMs with like some response to something. Oh, it was, it was the email, which we'll talk about after this. He responded to that. He responded to some fan mail we got. So he responded to it. And I was like, whatever. I hadn't heard from the guy in a couple days. I was like, it, whatever. I was just kind of annoyed. I just like, I threw the comment alike. It didn't,

he didn't ask me a question. There was really elicited no response. I just liked it. And I was talking to Raina at the time and I saw it come through. And I said, oh, it was 10, 20 at night. I said, oh, that guy just DM'd me. That's funny. Hadn't heard for a minute a minute. And then I said to her, at 1021, I said, I feel like I have a, hey, how are you text coming my way? And mark the time, because you guys know I'm crazy. 1021, I think. think he's going to text me. Hey, how are you? 1028 text from him. Hey, how's it going? It was fucking crazy. I don't know. Ashley's a witch. Okay. I don't understand how you did that. It's like your love language is being right. It was the most right. And he was ever been. You picked it.

It was going to happen. But you picked the exact verbiage. That is crazy. He, we are talking a little bit. We're talking. We're still talking. What is what it is. It's like, you know, I like the guy. We're talking. He's predictable, to say the least. I mean, I don't know how you did it. You predicted the exact text message. I can't believe it.

It's the most I felt like I've been right. And then later in the week, what? This is like a couple days later. Raina, I saw I had a DM. This is just because you and I are in the same wavelength. But I saw a DM come through him from Raina. And I literally go, is this about so and so? And she goes, what the fuck?

Like, I didn't even, it was on my lock screen. And I just saw a DM from Raina Green. and I was like, is this about so-and-so when she goes, you're a fucking witch? I literally said you, what are the chances that this is legit? That's all I said, and you guessed who it was about. That is so crazy. You and I are just always looking at the same shit, though. Like, how many times of, like, we've sent each other the same meme at the same time?

You know? That's true. I mean, listen, I love them people. That's my bitch. That's my new brand. That's how don't DM us started because you guys started sending us all the same memes. And we're like, guys, Ashley, no one's on the internet more than me and Ashley. Yeah.

We know the memes. I know. But the email that we got, which, you know. The email? Okay. I feel like people are like extra unhinged right now. Like they have nothing to do. They have nowhere to put their energy.

And this girl woke up. I got to see what time this was. It was Sunday night at 8.30 p.m. And she was like, I'm going to drag these total strangers that did not ask me for my opinion about anything. And sent us in all caps email. Do you want to read it? Do you have it? Okay.

The subject. The subject line was just your podcast. I was like, oh, okay, great, nice. The subject line's funny. That's very funny. Like, it sounds like it's going to be complimentary. All caps, short and sweet. You talk too fast and too loud.

You have a microphone and we hear you. I can only listen once in a while due to the above. All caps. And too fast, too loud has 75 o's in it. It filled the whole screen. Yes. You guys, she told us that we're too loud in a all-caps screaming email.

I can't get over it. This is my favorite thing that's ever happened. Also, Too Fast, Too Loud is already the name of our 2020-1 tour. Come on, let's get serious. It reminds me of A, Too Fast, Too Furious. And it also reminds me of the No Fear T-shirts I would use to wear when I was, like, in middle school. I can see it now.

No Fear podcasting. Too fast. Too loud. You're too fast. You're too loud. I'm living for this. And then she followed up by mansplating does how microphones work. I'm a mansplain this bitch

How microphones work How volume works Okay, I can't be too loud It's not possible You could just turn the volume down Yeah That's how microphones work She probably has it on like double speed

She doesn't even know it That's why we're talking about You were listening to us on double speed It's very funny Double speed is funny But half speed is funnier When we sell this drunk I don't want to drag this girl

But like maybe I don't talk too fast Maybe your brain moves too slow Thanks for spending Thanks for spending the time to write me a shitty-ass email on a Sunday night when you should have just been talking to a friend. I just think people are like really unhinged right now. She forgot how volume works. Yeah.

It's so crazy to send an email. I mean, you know, whatever. It's like I guess we're dragging her, but we're not because you don't know who this person is. You know, we're never going to do that. We're never going to out somebody. This is an anonymous person. You don't know who it is. I don't even know if I think her email was fake.

We don't know who she is. But I love it. This is our brand. It's stupid live shows. It's I literally don't care shows. It's too fast, too loud, 2021. Like, I am so grateful. This girl wasn't like giving constructive feedback.

She mansplained microphones and put it in all caps. She put her caps lock on and was like, I'm going to tell you something. Can you please shut the fuck up? I can only listen once a while due to the above. You don't have to listen to us ever. That's the beauty of the internet. You can just turn me off. Too fast, too loud.

No fear podcasting. I can't get over it. Too fast. She furious? I cannot wait to a release from our cages. That's the new name of the tour. Too fast, too loud. It's amazing.

God bless her. I wish she didn't give us a fake email. I'd send her back a thank you. I mean, thank you to this girl. I hope she's listening. I hope I'm not being too loud and too fast. Because you made us laugh so hard. We made fun of this for hours.

Should we get into it with Ariel and that? Yes, let's jump in with them. We have a great episode for you guys today. I'm so excited to introduce you to these guests in the Zoom House studio. We have Ariel Vandenberg. She is a model, an actress. She is a professional Justin Bieber impersonator. She's the host of Love Island.

And then we have her fiancee with us, Matt Kuchall, who is a, he said, he asked me to say, what did you say the best looking guy on Instagram? We're not going to go with that. We're going to see Ariel's arm candy, Haley Bieber, and they are the best looking quarantine couple I have ever fucking seen. I don't know why you guys look like this, but welcome to the house studio, Ariel Vandenberg and Matt Kutchall. Thanks for having us. Thank you. Also, it was the sexiest man alive. It was, yeah, I wanted to be in a week says the sexiest man alive. That's okay. I paraphrase. I like that you started off. Self,

proclaimed. Self-proclaimed sexiest man on earth should be your bio. It's true. And I'm also thankful that you started off with my introduction as model. That's really sweet of you. Yeah. You're so welcome. We say that about everybody, but you know what I mean? She's a former model. I'm a former Vine Star. That should just be it. Former model and former Vine Star. That's right.

We have has-bens on Matt in the house studio with us. What's up guys? We're a couple of has-bens. Do you guys live together? Yeah. Like how long have you lived together? What, a year? We've been living together for a year and a half now.

Yeah. We got to, we moved. done together. We got a house and decided to do that whole thing. And yeah, it's, I mean, we bought a house together. That's as serious as it gets. We got a house out of wedlock. We got a house out of wedlock. We got engaged out of wedlock. That's crazy. Wow, you guys are such pioneers. Are we? This is crazy, right? Do you have a dog too? We got a dog out of wedlock. Yeah. Does that even, you guys, doesn't even make sense. So, yes, we have a dog. We, and we live together. She's currently. This is our

favorite evangelical Christian couple. Ariel of God. Oh, I wish Stinky was here. She's actually getting her anal glands expressed right now. Yeah. Oh, good for her. Without you guys, you didn't want to do like a family anal gland expression?

We tried last night with each other. We haven't squeezed each other's anal glands lately, but for the dog, we literally, like, I put on an actual mask and gloves, and I tried, I cannot figure it out. I've watched YouTube tutorial videos.

Leave it to the pros. I know. Well, so we, this is our second time trying. Last night, he was like, let me watch the tutorial, like pushed me out of the way and, like, was watching the tutorial. And he was like, you got to milk it. And I'm like, so he milked the dog's butthole last night. Didn't work. It didn't work.

So she went to the vet today. The first time we tried, we didn't know you should milk it. One tutorial said you just squeezed the outer side of the butthole. and it like squirts out the whatever's in there. And so we tried that. And then now it's like two weeks go by, which is last night. And she's scraping her ass all over the carpet.

She's out. When we take her out for a walk, she's on the car and, like on the sidewalks scraping. Like straight gravel scrape. Like that has to hurt. And we're like, poor thing. Like we have to just, you know,

we have to just make this happen because, you know, we just didn't want to go in public because of the whole quarantine thing and take her out. So we're like, let's just try again. So I tried a milking this time. Still didn't work. The poor city. And now we just, we just gave in and she's going to the vet. Do you guys feel closer to each other now?

As in Stinky or to each other? You're like, well, what a good dad. I definitely feel closer to Stinky. That's for sure. Yeah, me too. I don't know. I feel like people are going to have to do this stuff at home now because, I mean, once it gets, I don't know, is a groomer and essential service? I guess it is.

Well, they come out to your, the vet, yeah, they come out to your car. take her and then bring her back to the car so no one comes into the place which is great. I actually appreciate that because that's what people should be doing right now is like taking the right steps to be coming. I can't even speak

right now. Everyone calm down. It was the butthole talk. It was the butthole. I'm riled by a butthold. I want to talk about you guys how this couple came to be. How many years you were friends first? Like how did it happen? You know, I think people

men and women have really close friendships. They create content together, whatever. They work together in some way. And I don't know. Were you guys flirty? I got to know how this all came about. Yeah. And what I wanted to say before that is I want to really give you guys credit.

You guys have, we joked around about who you are, you have millions of followers together. You create all this content, all these great videos together. Separately, you're so hysterical. So I want to give people like an idea of really like who you are and what you guys do.

You're hysterical, the stuff you guys make. Thank you so much. That's so sweet. We're very lucky. We get to have a lot of fun together and, you know, we shoot videos together. We podcast together. So though it seems like a lot, like we, we actually can really stand each other. Like I love being around her because she's not only my fiance, but my best friend. So it's really great. But you guys say that,

but it's true. Like, if a couple say that and you're like, shut up, but it is, I mean, you guys were friends before. But I mean, I got to know, did one of you have a crush on the other? Like, you've got to tell us all these things. These are my burning questions. I guess. I mean, we met in, what year was that? 2006. 2006. We met at the very end of 2006 at her ex-boyfriend's house. Whoops.

I was good friends with this girl named Riley, and her ex-boyfriend was also a mat. And Riley took me to her friend Matt's house. He was also a mat. She loves Matt. I love Matt. I love a Matt. They're mats are the best.

Give me a Matt. All mats are the sexiest men alive. See? Matt's exclusively. I've never slept with a mat. Matt, have I? Matt's are usually hot.

They're also like good guys. They're not like a Chad. Like nobody makes fun of mats ever. No, they're not Chad's. They're not Brad's. They're Matt's and they're great. Matt's are good guys.

This is great. This is why I'm single because I'm not out of here fucking enough mats. I don't have to look for mats. Look for mats. We're good guys. All right. Keep going about our love. So anyway, I go to this,

not even a house party, but just this guy, Matt's house who all I knew is this guy Matt was my friend Riley's best friend and Matt's girlfriend was at the house and they were going to have drinks and as like a not a double date but as four people we were going to go out to a club and so because I wasn't dating Riley she was just my good friend so we went to so yeah so I went to Matt's house and that's when I first met her and this was 2006 and she was super fun and cute and cool obviously you know I thought she was pretty but there wasn't like a, oh shit, I'm going to try for this girl because I didn't go there for that.

I just went to go hang out with friends. So we went out to the club that night and we all danced and drank and partied and did our stuff as young 20-year-olds would do. And that aside, that was our first time meeting. And that was about it for like probably a couple years, right? Yeah, we only met that one time until two years later. we, my, a different ex-boyfriend,

his name was Chris, you can only imagine. Yeah, I can. Oh, boy, yep, bye. No, I'm kidding. No, he was great. So his brother owned a store, and it was this rad store in Hollywood,

and Matt worked at it, and when I walked in, I was like, I know you. And then we kind of just, like, started our actual friendship there. And since it was, like a family kind of business place. They hired all these, like, friends of ours.

So I would just go into that store basically every day and just hang. Like, no one actually bought shit from that store, I don't think. I think we all just... I bet they love that. Yeah. Everyone just hung out. It was amazing. Just a friend.

Yeah, or like Miley Cyrus would come in and, like, buy everything. And then that was it. We relied on celebrities coming in once a week and spending $10,000 and leave... I'm not kidding. Because no one else bought anything. No one else bought shit. It was so expensive. that it would be Scarleth Johansson would come in, spend 10 grand and leave,

and that would be our business for like the week. Yeah. So I always pretended like I worked there just because I was there all the time, and it just looked weird that I was sitting on the couches, like, hanging. So I'd be like, hey, can I help you? And, like, we would just have fun and, like, do stupid shit and film stuff. And that was like, I don't even think Vine was a thing yet, but we would still film shit. We would still create videos.

Honestly, before creating videos was a thing. We would like, oh, because I would put them on Facebook. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, so, like, I would just, like, film him, and we would just do stupid shit at the store. And so many of our friends worked there. One of his best friends worked there. One of my best friends worked there. So it was just, like, so fun.

Yeah. And then we became best friends. And then we were best friends for 10 years or maybe, like, yeah. At any point, are you like, this person is high? And so cool, I want to fuck. Whoa. Aggressive wording. Again, this is why I'm single.

Let's go. This is why I'm single. No, so we, I mean, obviously, like, I knew he was so handsome and so cute and so funny. He was basically, like, the total package. But he was, he had a girlfriend. I had a boyfriend pretty much the entire time we were friends. So, like, well, that's, yeah, all right. You know, and also, like, a lot.

lot of his girlfriends were my friends. A lot of my boyfriends were his friends. Like, it was like, you know, there was like never really a break for us to like try. And even if there was, to be honest with you, not that like, like the timing was off. And I think it really happened when it was supposed to happen, which was we started dating almost three years ago now. Holy shit. Oh, God. I feel I remember like it was yesterday. Same. Honestly. Like that is crazy. We've, yeah, like it'll be three years in what may? No, I don't, I don't know. Yeah, May. Yeah. So like, that's so crazy. And it's been three years that we've started dating. But he has a different story. But no, but yeah, I was going to say, I have kind of a little bit of a different version of my own, which obviously what she said is correct,

but I started falling for her. So we started shooting vines together. In 2000, in 2013 is when we started shooting vines together. I had a girlfriend then. She had a boyfriend like she was saying. then I became single first and still spending a lot of time with her. And that's when I really started to like her. And but she had a boyfriend. So I didn't try anything. I wasn't like, I wasn't that guy trying to like make her to break up with a boyfriend. I just started having feelings for her.

And then probably a year or so after that maybe, I don't even know if this is 2014 or 15-ish, when I, she broke up with a boyfriend. and when they broke up, that was like my time. And I was like, holy shit. But like, but think about this from like my perspective. This was his time to shine.

This was like the worst time for me to be told that someone I really care about loves me. You know, right, I'll write off a breakup, you mean? Yeah, you're like, don't do this right now.

Like I'm crying about, and he said I love you? Like right out of the gate. No, I didn't say I love you right out of the gate. I just showed interest. And I think that, I think that I just I was there for her I showed interests I sent her flowers when I knew that you know she was going through a breakup and I was just being there for her but at the same time

I was bummed for her but I was very excited for me that I find I was like holy shit like we're both single right or we're both single right now like as soon as she kind of feels a little bit you know better after this breakup then I'm going to take her out on a date so I guess Fast forward to Two years. It took two years. Long game. Honestly, though, it took a while, right?

So we have like a year or two here where if I get the, if I have the story right that you had feelings for Ariel, Ariel, you knew, but you guys were just still friends. I mean, basically not to like, yeah. Yes. Long story short. I don't say that in a bad way, but yeah. No, no, no, for sure.

Long story short, he was like, you know, I like you. And then I was just like not in a headspace that I was, I wasn't available in that way in any way because I was just like, I was just kind of on my own like thing. And I was like, but this person is my best friend. Like I don't want to ruin anything. And I'm just, to be honest, like I'm glad the way it turned out because I feel like if we were to have started dating when, when he wanted to or when I thought I was ready or blah, blah, blah. Like it just worked out the way it was supposed to because we were both so. ready to date each other and like and nothing got like weird and nothing um got ruined i don't know that's hard to explain i've had friendships get ruined by trying to date someone and this isn't a person that you try to date this was my best friend you can if you either try to date your best friend and it ends horribly and you never talk anymore or you get married do you know what i'm saying it kind of goes one way or the other like we've already invested so much into each other and loved each other as people that if we either if we don't end up staying together

someone's going to be devastated and heartbroken and that's going to be it. A lot of people ask us. We've done episodes about like should you sleep with your friends and how is that going to turn out? Can you ever turn a friendship into a relationship? So like when you and Matt, when you told her like I like you, did you guys like slow the friendship down?

Was it awkward for a little while or did you just like try to dive right back? Like what was that sort of middle period? Man, we had, we had a bit of an awkward middle period for sure. You know, she obviously, I told her I liked her. I had feelings for her. And I was at that point when she was a bit more healed from her breakup, I was pursuing her at that point.

But she still wasn't ready. And she'd constantly remind me that like, hey, like, I need to be single for a little bit. I need to, like, not jump back into a relationship. She was very honest and told me, I know that this could turn into something great, but I'm just not ready for this right now. now. So I had to kind of like sit on the sidelines and let her live her life and do her thing.

And it's not like she was out there like horn it up. Like she wasn't like yeah. Like I'm, you know, like I. No. Right. Hey. Hey. Yes. Excuse me. No, but like her whole thing was just like, and I understood it. She just, she didn't want to come off of a couple year relationship, heartbroken. And then get married. And then dive back into something. I was like, okay. I get that. But it was so painful for me to like watch her live her life and and go on dates because she went on she still went on dates like she still lived her life and like if a guy that she wasn't that invested in asked her out she'd be like yeah I'll go on a date and LA's a small place it's and I would hear I would always hear when she would go out on different dates with people like it would be like a friend of a friend of a

friend and I would find out where she was I was like ah this sucks and then you guys didn't talk about it would show up with a painted on mustache and like a cowboy hat and I'd be like Matt I can see you. That was embarrassing. He shows up with his emo hair. He's like in the corner. So what I just, that's what I'm picturing. So what was the, what was the thing? Was it like a kiss or something or what was the turning point?

A kiss. God. Well, I know. Okay. Yeah, go ahead. It was, it was me. I needed to just like. We had...

I caved. I caved. I caved. She said fine. I was like, all right, fine. Kiss me. No. It was kind of like one of these things where I was, I was like in this weird headspace where I was like, are we even friends anymore?

Because like there was like such an awkward period. And I was like, I was missing my friend. And I came on. I want to touch on that. Okay. You were missing your friend because I couldn't handle being around her anymore as just friends. And I started distancing the relationship. I did.

I'm saying it how it is. We just get a massive fight and we break up. If you have feelings for your friend, it's hard to be around them. I had to unfollow her on Instagram. I literally unfollow her on Instagram because I didn't want to see her. I didn't want to think about her. And I was hurt. I was hurt.

And I couldn't be with her and I wanted to be with her. So I just, so I did out of sight, out of mind. It seems like it worked out for you guys, you know. We'll be fine. We'll be fine. I think it's going to work out.

You guys want to have a couple fight on the show. No, I love this. This is the story everybody wants. The guy was like in love with the girl for all these years. It feels a little different when it's the other way around. This is the way it should be. Like if you hear a girl be like, like, I was just so in love with him and he didn't like me. Like it feels a little sad.

Well, that also is just like that's a likely story. Yeah, it feels a little bit more likely. So you had like an I love Josh moment. Yeah. Yes. So, yeah. So I had to push her away for a little bit and not see her and not think about her and try to get over her

and my feelings for her. And then that's when she kind of started to realize, holy shit, I miss him so much having him in my life. And did you develop feelings that? Like, what happened then? I don't even know. I just, we just had this, like, really rad conversation that, I know that sounds like so dumb.

Like, it was so rad, but it was. It was fucking rad. We, like, talked about, everything. We talked about our feelings. We talked about our, just like things that like hurt us. We said sorry about some stuff. We just like had a really awesome conversation that I needed. I just needed. And I think he needed it too because then we, the next day, we got coffee and I was like, oh my God, my fucking friends back. Like yes. Like we can hang now and it's not weird because we got all this stupid shit out of the way. I don't know. We just had a good, it was communication was like

the key there. And we weren't. weren't communicating prior to this conversation because we, I don't know, everything was weird. So we just had a good conversation. And then I think we like went to Palm Springs a week after this cool conversation we had. It was cool conversation guys. It was so fucking sick. It was sick. And so we went to Palm Springs and I knew anytime he ever asked me to go to Palm Springs with him, I was always like, I was trying to get some, you know. Okay. No. It was like, I knew we were going to end up sharing a room. because we're not going to get separate rooms because that's stupid.

And so I was like, okay, I'll go to Palm Springs with you. And I knew we were going to share a room. So I was like, let's see what happens. I don't know. And like, literally I just went to Palm Springs with him and we like made out. Yeah. Yes. Yes, I did it.

But like, but it was already, I don't know, like maybe a week and a half after this conversation that like we were just really good friend. We were back to being like super close again. And I was like, wait, he's so, I just, like, want to hang out with him all the time. And I told my friend, I was like, wait, maybe I like him now. I don't know. It was, like, so confusing. But then it wasn't confusing.

It was just the, it was just the right time for that. I love that story. Thank you guys for sharing the whole thing. Totally. Oh, yeah. I loved it. I had a lot of pain. I've under a lot of pain in this heart.

Oh, boy. It's a heart of coal right now. Oh, boy. You guys remind me of, like, if Will and Grace. Rachel and Joey would have worked out because I was always pulling for like Rachel and Joey, you know? Oh my God.

Rachel and Joe. Actually, you know what? I get that. There's articles on this. There's a whole thing that they were a better match. But like, you know, he realized he was like in love with her and they were my faith. They were the call.

Honestly, they were so cute. Now that I'm thinking about them like their individual personalities, I totally get that. Yeah. Rachel and Ross are not the couple you're hanging out with. Right? At the end of the day, you're not like, That's a sick couple.

I want to chill with. Like, Ross didn't get her. He was condescending. Like, yeah, it was just, I still like Ross too, but it was just like,

but I always think the reason why I thought of it was because the first time they tried to hook up, she couldn't like get past it. And she kept being like, this is Joey. Like, did you guys have any moments of that? We don't need to dive into your sex life and be explicit. But like,

did you have a moment of like, wait, I'm, I'm making out with Matt? Like, was it weird or was it natural? Well, yeah,

it was obviously like, we, oh my God, this, I think we even said it. We were like, well, what? I don't know. You know what?

But, yeah. For me, it wasn't weird at all. Like, I had liked her for so, for, like, for so many years. He fantasized about it for a year. Yeah, yeah. He was like, we do this every day in my brain. Exactly. So I was like, hell yeah, this is really happening.

Wait, I have a question. How, do you guys drink? Yeah. How much alcohol was involved in the first, let's be friends again, conversation and the first cast. Were you drinking for either of those times? Not for our conversation. because it was like 3 p.m. The first conversation was like, yeah, probably like two or three,

and she just came over to my place and we just, we chatted. Two or three. Just like so specific. It was like two, 15. It was two 15. Like, I remember everything. I remember. I'm not like that.

Usually if I was ever drunk or something, I wasn't like going, I would rather go home and go to bed. Like, I'm not like, come back to my house. Like, I'm not like, yeah. I'm like, good night. So, yeah, probably not. I don't remember. That's why I asked.

I think that these are, it's always nice to have a little liquid courage, but I think that these conversations are probably better had when you're not super drunk. For sure, because I think that, like, those real conversations, like, it's good to have nerves and it's good to have emotions. Like, if you're going to cry, you're going to cry.

You don't need to be drunk and crying. That just makes it 10 times worse, you know? Like, just cry sober. it's so much more effective. I know. I had feelings for a guy friend of mine, and it didn't work out, but we're still great friends.

But I, like, basically told him that I had feelings for him, and I don't remember it. Like, I got fully blackout because this was like, I was younger. I just was so nervous. I was like, I'm going to tell him how I feel. And, like, really don't remember it. I remember him definitely rejecting me.

And then, like, that's all I remember. How old were you? Probably, like, actually, I mean, I shouldn't have said too young. I was like 30. Too young. You were too young for love. That's for sure.

I was too young. It was when I was really young, guys. It was a couple years ago. I like what Ashley did, though, because I went the other route, which was I was, like, in love with my best friend. And, like, watching him date and sleep with other girls, I tried to, like, I knew that we weren't going to be together.

So I was like, I'm going to be cool with this. This is fine. I can talk to him about the people that he's dating. And instead of just getting the courage to be like, I'm not going to tell him I'm in love with him, but say, like, you know, this is how I feel and this is hard for me. or do a match it to distance, I just, like, stuck it out. And that was, like, torture.

So I think it's at least brave to broach the conversation because I didn't. I just tortured myself. Wait, so did you, you never tried? No, so we had hooked up when we first met. We had slept together. Like, this was not a long-term friendship. Like, you guys, we met, we started hooking up. And then he was like, I don't really want a serious relationship.

And I was like, that's fine. We can just, like, chill and be friends. And very much like you guys, we were sort of in the same industry, sphere with a lot of same friends. So I was just around him a lot for like work stuff. Yeah. And I just, you know, we had had the conversation that he didn't want to be together. So I knew.

So it was a little different. But I think that you guys probably did a healthy thing, which is to be honest, then distance. And I didn't do that. It was torture. So I don't know. I think it's great. But you guys are best for just to see you guys are best friends now.

Yeah, we're really good friends now. It took me a long time to like get over and move on. But yeah, I think if you really know you're not going to be with the person, I think a little bit of distancing is perfect, which is perfect for now. We're all social distancing. Yeah. How many years? How many years did you have feelings for him?

And did you have to torture yourself? So we met and I was like, I don't even know if I like this guy. This guy's fine. And then he slept with somebody else. And you were like, I love Josh. That was my. I love Josh. I was like, fuck.

Somebody else wants this. That's my toy. So then I slept with a toy. And I fucked with a toy a few times. And then he was just like, you know, he was the one that stopped. It was like, I think we're super close. I really love our friendship. I don't see myself in any long-term relationship with anybody.

So, like, let's put a pause on this before it goes too far. And I was like, I'll be fine. And then I wasn't fine. So maybe, like, it took me, like, a good six, eight months to, like, really get over it. But I, like, did the wrong thing. I spent all my time with him. And I should have, like, been like, all right, I got to get out of here a little bit. Yeah.

And we're really good friends now. I mean, six to eight months is nothing compared to, like, I had literally had to do that for, like, five or six years. Think about that. Yeah, but like, okay. Think about that. Like, I actually have,

I liked her for like five and a half years. Let's be optimistic. Think about this. If I would have dated you when you said that, we would have broken up and I probably wouldn't be here on this couch in our beautiful house with our cute stinky dog. Who would you be dating right now? I don't know, Justin Bieber probably.

No, he's taken. Beaver's taken. He doesn't take him. Then I would be dating Haley Baldwin. Fine. Go. go fine good luck with that so there we have it so now we know what our lives would have been honestly i'd probably be dating haley baldwin right now yeah i would date haley baldwin she's so hot she's so hot

so that reminds me of something i want to talk to you guys about they haley and justin they are tic-tocking together i know and we we wanted to get into this with you guys because i feel like couples are quarantined together and the probably majority of women men are like, I want to TikTok with my boyfriend. Like I want to do the light flip switch. And I want him to be in my social media. And we're going to be a cute influencer couple. You know, so clearly you guys, that wasn't an issue.

You were creating videos and content together since, you know, the very beginning. But I just want to talk about, I want to give us some advice if there's any to these poor girls that are like, you need to do this TikTok with me? You know, like, do you think there's a way to effectively TikTok with your man? You know, you know, it's funny. Who flips the switch, you know? It's so funny because our friend Derek Huff, who's on TikTok right now too.

He literally got to over 2 million followers since the quarantine. On TikTok? He got on TikTok like three months ago and then really started taking it seriously in the last like month and he got to like 2 million followers because first of all, he's already a famous guy, people recognize him from TV, and he is super talented.

But he's making his girlfriend do all the TikToks with him And you can just see it because she's always in the background, like, and then she, but she's also, I mean, his girlfriend's an incredible dancer. So, like, if they do TikToks together, you're like, whoa, this is a professional TikTok because she's just, they're both incredible. But she's, she's, like, way more shy than he is. So she's, like, if we're going to do this, we're going full out and you're, I'm going going to put you in full drag makeup.

Like, like, they did, like, one of the flip the switch ones. So, like, it was, it was. She did his makeup, like so, it's fucking hilarious. He's like, God, maybe I made a mistake. But yeah, that was the opposite. That was, that was Derek being the guy dragging his girlfriend in. So I think it does go both ways. But you're right.

I'm seeing so many girls with their boyfriends right now on here. Oh, wow, Derek's right here. What do you guys, have you guys ever had situations where one of you wanted to do something and the other one was reluctant and you just still have to do it because that's your partner? Like, have one of you guys ever had like an idea and you're like, I just don't want to do that right now. I don't want to go sing in the car again, Matt. Well, I think, like, I get really, I get like, I just don't want to, because it's a difference, the difference between us is that I have to put makeup on and do my hair and wear a cute

outfit, whereas he's like, hey, let's go outside and shoot this right now. I'm going to put a hat on. And I'm like, well, fuck you. Like, I have to do 20 things before I can feel good and want to be funny right now. And like most of the time I'll just throw my hair in a ponytail and like put mascara on fine, whatever. Like that's okay for me. But even that is an extra step that he doesn't have to do. And sometimes it's like, well, I'm not in the head space to like go do that right now

because I'm going to, it's just a different thing. And so if I was just going to like throw a hat on, yeah, sure, let's shoot that really quick. But it's never just really quick. And so sometimes we get in like little. like, not arguments, but like, he's like, well, can we just do this? And I'm like, oh, but then, but, but, but the thing is. But not, because we never fight.

So he's just like, okay, fine, let's do it tomorrow. And I'm like, okay, fine. You know, so usually the second. We figured out. Matt Caves is usually what you're saying. Well, here's the thing. So the second I sense that she's not into it, I don't want to force someone to be funny. That's the, that's the toughest thing to do is like, our content is it's best when we're

both in the mood to shoot stuff and have fun and laugh and have fun with it. But many times it's gotten serious where it is part of our, you know, job to keep creating content. And so there's plenty of times where I'm like, we should probably shoot something. And I dig through like an old script and it just isn't quite there. It's just like, ah, this was funny in the moment. It's just not quite there. And yeah, I mean, we both go through those times too. Like usually, I don't know if you notice. You're yelling so loud. I'm excited. When he gets excited, he yells and my ears are bleeding.

I don't feel like you're yelling, but I'm not in the room. You guys sound great. No, you're fine. It's okay. Get excited. He's so cute. I mean, our podcast is called Riled Up. That's this is why.

He gets Riled up. Wait, is that the name of your podcast? It came out to. It's like my favorite thing to say. Our podcast name is Riled up with Ariel and Matt. So he's riled right now. He's yelling. I am riled because, no, but the longst

story short is it's somewhat often that we don't want to shoot. Yeah. Like we're supposed to, after this podcast, we're supposed to shoot something today. And like, I'm not really in the mood to do that. But then again, we've been shooting videos since like 2013. I've made over 3,000 videos. Like, that's not okay. Like, that's a lot of, and it's not just like, oh, we went and acted in them.

That means like hours and hours and hours in front of a computer screen. editing and writing and like doing everything that goes into what we do is not just like a one minute video you think like oh your life is easy fucking and we're perfectionist so like we it has to be so funny or else we're not going to post it so there's there's edits out there that never made it it just went straight to DVD you know what I mean like they don't get airtime because they suck or whatever like so there's so many times where we're like uh I can't think of anything else to shoot. And then, I mean, Matt just posted a video this morning about, I don't know.

I don't know. I posted a video. It's called Matt's Asian foot spa because I had nothing else to write about. And I ordered these fish because we have a bunch of mosquitoes in our little pond in the backyard. And I was like, what kind of fish can we get to, like, you know, control the mosquito population? So I got ordered these fish and they showed up like, we should shoot a skit with these fish. They're right here. Yeah, obviously.

So I just post. I made the most random video called Matt's Asian foot spa. Oh, it's crushing. It's still okay. Oh, yeah. People like it. Yeah, people like it. This is good.

It's not bad. So you guys work together a lot. I think that like probably a lot of people today are like creating content with their partners or in the same field as their partners. A lot of people meet at work. So how do you guys avoid feeling competitive with each other for like opportunities? Do you feel competitive? Because I think that you guys are a couple that is clearly so proud of each other and so

excited to work together. So I think that you'll have like a really. hopefully good answer. So I think like we just do so much together that it's like if I'm, if I'm winning, then he's winning and if he's winning then I'm winning kind of thing. And like even if he even if even if that wasn't the case, we just we love each other so much that we want to, I want to see him win no matter what. But we do so much together that it's kind of hard to be like, oh no, like he does way more than me or vice versa. Like we kind of just like, And we just help each other out through all of it.

So, like, you know, if he's like, hey, meet me at this dance studio, I'm dancing with Derek Huff and I need you to, like, be in it. I'm like, yes, that's time out of my life. But it's also, like, I get to be a part of something really fun with him. And, like, I get to go create, you know, if I'm like, I get to go and have fun anyways. So even if, like, it's his video, I want it to do good because I love him. I don't know. Yeah, I think that we have such a strong support system.

and like I couldn't do half the stuff that I do without her. And I feel like, you know, we lean on each other. Like she, like, you know, I ask her for advice all the time. She asked me for advice, like two brains are better than one. And I think that like, you know, we've built such an awesome part of our career together. And we couldn't have done it without each other. So I don't ever think that there's like, at least for me, like a jealous thing. It's more like, you want to shoot a video?

I'm down because I want you to win because if you're winning, I'm winning. and vice versa. It seems like you guys said that you don't fight a lot, which I can sense that. Do you feel like that's just because of who you are? Or do you just think you communicate really well? Or I mean, every couple of bison has conflict, whatever. But there's different levels of like there's bickering and there's toxic,

screaming, yelling arguments. I mean, what do you attribute that to? Is it the deep friendship or what? I'm just like, well, I just don't do this with anyone. I just don't. like a fighter. I'm not like a combative person in any way. I just kind of like, I've always, well, to be honest, I've always held my like feelings kind of like and and with fighting or whatever, he's just very, like he's very calm about everything anyways. Like he, like, I've never heard

you raise your voice like ever. And like I, I'm kind of similar, but I would rather just have a normal conversation and just be like, hey, like, I hate that I'm bringing this up, but like, I didn't like when you did this. Or like, he'll say that to me. Like, we were just driving the other day and he's like, hey, like, you said this thing, like that kind of like made me sad or that hurt my feeling, like, whatever. And I'm like, oh my God. And then I start bawling because I never want to like hurt anyone's feelings. I'm like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. You know, like we've, we've done that so many times with each other's. There's zero reason why we would ever be like, what the fuck? Like, I just, I have zero reason to ever do that with him because he never like he's an angel thank you you are an actual

angel but like but at the same time like we just don't we just don't do that to each other well there's two things a it's each individual we're all our own people some people do have a hot head some people don't like i think that we we neither of us do we don't really like we're not mean people we're very understanding and respectful people. So like I think about situations. Like when I look at situations, I think about everybody's perspective because I'm not the only one involved.

So like every single time I'm in a situation where I feel like this could get heated, I'm like, well, how is that person feeling? And I genuinely like put myself in people's shoes and I'm like, okay, I can see where like that person could be upset with me for this. And then I'm like, okay, I see where you're coming from, but here's where I'm coming from.

And I think that that's so important to do in your relationships or in your friendships or with your family. Like everyone has a reason for whatever the fuck. I mean, sometimes people are just like, you know, not reasonable or whatever. But in most situations, you do have to understand that everyone has a feeling for a reason. Yeah, try to step out of your shoes and into like your boyfriend or girlfriends and really understand why are they reacting like that before I go off on them. If she's upset about something and I don't think.

I did anything wrong, instead of blowing up immediately, I stopped to think, like, why is she feeling like that? And I'll ask her, I'll say, well, what's up? Like, talk to me. And it helps me understand. I don't, like, I don't go crazy about everything. So there must be a reason why I'm feeling a certain way,

and he'll think about it. Right. Like, if I was like, if you're, and I have friends like this, if you're the type of person that gets mad at everything or thinks everything is wrong or, you know, yells at everything. Yeah, it's like, well, there's no reasoning with an unreasonable human. So like you just kind of am like, oh, okay, whatever.

But like with us, it's like if something's wrong, there must be something wrong. Because like you know each other aren't out to get each other. It's just like you're not doing things intentionally to hurt the other person. It's like that's what people sometimes forget. Like you're on the same team. Oh my God. It seems like at a baseline you guys really have developed a relationship where you respect each other and really like each other.

And I think not enough couples are just nice to each other and understanding and empathetic. And I think that if you start with that baseline of like, I respect this person, this is a rational, normal person. When you're upset, it's easier to sort of understand like, okay, I upset this person. They're not like flying off the handle on something crazy. Yes. You guys clearly do such a good job of that. Yeah. Thank you.

Yeah, we, I think we're pretty like, we're pretty even killed, chill people. And we do just genuinely get along, which is so rare, I guess, for someone to, like, we are the same person. it's just I have boobies. And I have a pee-pee. Yeah. Well, do you have, has the quarantine created like any, I'm not trying to rile you guys up, you know,

no pun intended, but we're just curious because a lot of couples are telling us that they're like going crazy because they're pented up together. They can't leave the house and stuff like that. Has it created any sort of funny, even fights between you guys at all or has it? Yeah, we had our first. We did?

Yeah, we had our first, you know, big-ish fight the other night. What? Um, she was eating her, we both eat dinner together. She was, I usually finish first. She was eating her pasta. I have zero clue where this is going. She was eating her pasta. And without thinking, I just rip ass, right?

Oh, I rip some juicy ass. And then she, and then literally, she goes, um, uh, and then I like turn and she's super upset and I'm like, yeah? And then she's like, seriously, I'm eating. And usually she was like juice. But here's the thing. Like, like, oh. So it's the kind of fart you can, like, taste while you're eating your pasta.

And I'm like, the last thing I want to think about is diarrhea while I'm eating. Hey, so. He sharded at the table. So here's the thing. Listen. Okay. To finish the story is usually she doesn't get that maddy. She goes, cutie.

And I'm like, oh, sorry, whatever, I'll try to remember. But this was the first time she actually got mad. And she just stopped eating her food and threw her fork in the bowl. And she's like, I can't eat when you're shit in your pants. And I was like, oh. And I was like, oh, you know, I was like, listen, I respect that so much. And I'm sorry that I think this is hilarious because every time I fart, I think it's so funny. I like that you started with like, I respect you.

I honor you. I honor you and I respect you. Let me go wipe. And when I come back, we'll talk about this. Okay. But, okay, because it's not like this is just, he farts. And it's, it's never, well, he's eating. It's whenever he's done, he finishes like, he's like a freaking vacuum.

and then he'll just sit there and rip ass. And I'm like, no, that's not. That's not fair to me who's still enjoying their penetabieta, you know? How long did it take to start farting in front of each other? Oh, I mean, that's your guy's brand, I feel like. You've got so many videos about it, right? That is our brand, yeah. Day one, farting?

Literally, I was farting on my vines since 2013. So up to two million people. The original farter on five. Everyone in the world that knows who I am has seen me fart. Everyone in the world. So it's not a big deal. They've all been created to the sharts, right? Yeah, when was your first little two?

Hers are cute. Hers are little. They're just like little ones. Well, it was definitely when we lived here, I think. Like within the last year and a half. So you're not like ripping ass to be funny in front of Matt or are you? I do sometimes. Okay.

It's like eating. Right. can't fart as much as me. Do you guys poop at the door open? Never. That's okay. Romance is still alive. By the way,

we're still cool. I actually can't believe that people do that. I'm pretty open and just like whatever do your thing, but like that to me is like next level. Like you're going to have the door open and be shitting poop out of your butt.

Ew. In front of your significant other. That's crazy to me. There's an easy solution. Just shut the door. Just shut the door. People don't just shut the door. Yeah.

I agree with you. Most houses now, I feel like have the separate like poop closet, which I mean, I feel like was what we need. Like it needs to have its own door. I think so too. Do you, can you just make yourself fart? Is it like that? Yes.

He's loaded right now. Well, I can't just, I can't just make myself fart, but usually I have it in me. Like, do you know what I'm saying? Like some people can suck up farts and then do it. Honestly, prove it. But you're next to me. Listen, it's fine. This will be our first fart.

We've done. We've had the podcast for over to you. We've never had this happen. Let's be the, you're the pioneer. I really don't think I can fight right now. Whoa. Let me see. Let me find out. Get, get!

Oh my God. I'm not that gassy right now. I got them all out last night. Yeah, she sure did. So are you guys finding any, like, we're just trying to think of like tips to give other couples that are like, I, we're going crazy. But it seems like you guys have plenty of space. I mean, you're not living in a one-bedroom apartment. Yeah.

I mean, I do have advice for people like that. I think that, like, it's, it's kind of important. to still keep up with some sort of schedule. And like even if you schedule your alone time where you say, hey, you know, obviously if one person can stay in the bedroom and someone can be out in the living room and have one hour to themselves or reading a book undisturbed or going for a walk by themselves, I think that people need to understand that, you know, not everyone needs their alone time, but maybe the girl might and the guy might not be able to, I don't know, I'm just saying like

find ways to respect each other's time and let each other have your moment. moments. And I think sticking to a schedule is kind of big too, because I still set my alarm to wake up and I still like have a routine. I still find a way to work out at the house. So it kind of keeps me sane. I think that people that don't have any sort of structure and are just waking up whenever and just diving into Netflix first thing, it, you stop talking about me. You start to, you start to lose. She's sitting there like, she was looking at the ground. She's like, stop describing me. but I think you start to lose your sense.

No, I do shit all day. No, I know. We truly, like, and Matt said it best the other day. He actually posted about it on Instagram. Like, him and I haven't been bored one time this entire quarantine. Like, everyone's like, I'm bored. I'm like, fucking do something. Like, there's so much shit to do when you're at home.

You could, I mean, there's so much stuff you could do. You could read a book. You could watch. I don't know, whatever you want. But say it, because I know you're dying to say it. Here's why I'm riled up, and I have so many amazing and wonderful friends, and they're super talented, and these are the same friends who have seeked me for advice often on, hey, how did you become an entrepreneur? How did you, you know, do this and buy your first property?

And I'm like, dude, I've done countless research online, countless tutorials. I watch master classes. If I don't know how to edit a video, I go to YouTube and I learn how to. If I can't hit the gym, I work out at home. So, like, you can always find a way to be. better yourself. And I'm watching these same friends be like, man, this sucks, I'm so bored, and they're

setting up ping pong ball cups and learning how to throw a ping pong ball off of their roof, bouncing off their cat into a fucking solo cup. And it's like, you want to be a songwriter, and you're complaining about not having time to write songs because you have to drive Uber. Now is your time to write

songs. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, you want to write that script that you've always been wanting to write, but you're too busy. Write that script. You've always wanted to get shape but you don't have time to go to the gym. Work out every day on a YouTube class. Like, people don't understand that right now is the time to get ahead and to better yourself. And if you don't want to then don't. Like, you know, people are, yeah, there's, you can take time to be sad. What's happening is really depressing. It's, you don't have to do all those things,

but you can't complain. Like, that's the difference. Like, don't have guilt because you're not being productive, but also don't complain about it. You know, like, I think that everybody needs to just, like, live their truth. But Ray and I say that a lot of time. It's the complaining that we don't like. You know, it's the, oh, well, I just, you know, it's the laziness and the, the different things that that can hold people back in the first place from success. But, yeah, don't, don't do it or do, but just don't sit around and, you know, twiddle your thumbs and complain about being bored when there's stuff you could be doing to further your life. Yeah, for sure. I feel like exactly what you just said is so true. People can be, I think people should

actually take time if they work a lot, if they're workaholics. Take a couple weeks. Take a week and a half or whatever you need to like spend time with your family, spend time with your wife. If that's like a common thing, the hawk, I'm sorry, the hawk. Oh, that's gorgeous. You have a hawk outside? There's a hawk

at eye level. It built a nest and a tree right at eye level. And it just flew by with a shrub in its feet. And I'm also watching a spider eat a fly right there. Do you see that? We have a very interesting view right now. So anyway, so

No, no, I was going to say, like, there's probably so many wives and kids and husbands out there or whoever is like, I don't get to spend enough time with this person or are my kids or whatever. And like, now is the time to freaking reset that and just like give all that time to the people that want it or that need it or like, I don't know, like do things for yourself. And then if you start getting bored or whatever, then yes, start looking up your passions, like figuring out what you. you can do to better your situation and not just like watch another Netflix show. You can just like, like he said, we learn how to edit on YouTube, you know, and stuff like that. Yeah, Raina just did that too. We are just constantly trying to figure out. We took, we've taken this time to get our whole YouTube up and running and learning new skills. We're like, how did this happen? How are we busy? We are so busy. We're so busy. We all have those friends that all the time are like

looking at other people and like, why do they have this? Why are they successful and I'm not? Why did these people get these opportunities that I'm none. I think now is the time to pause and say, what are those people doing that I'm not doing? And I see so many people that like constantly complain, but I'm like, what have you done this week, this month,

this year to change your life and get on that level? And I think that like one of the reasons where our podcast is so successful, is we really think about this all day, every day. Anybody can have a podcast, you know, but we think about this seven days a week. At 1030 last night, I was like, Ashley,

I got to turn work stuff off right now because she's still like, idea, idea, idea, idea. And like those are people that are successful in this world. And I hate having conversations with people that are like, when don't I have this? It's like, I could tell you if you really want the answer. You are preaching.

You really want to know. I cannot stand that. You don't know how many friends I have that reach out and have been like, dude, like, how do you like, man, I can't seem to grow my following or whatever. And I'm like, you posted one video in the last 30 days. How do you expect you're going to grow your following?

I have those questions constantly. And people are like, dude, like, like, it's not fair. have abs and I'm like, I don't eat a cheeseburger and pizza every day. I work out five days a week. I watch what I eat. Like, it's fucking hard. You got to put in the work if you want to, if you want to achieve something.

And I think people don't realize how hard you actually have to work to be that 1% who can actually find success. It's very difficult. And also, like, I think that it's also very important to know that like it's the looking at someone that has, you know, a million followers on Instagram or something. That's like so daunting because it's like, what? But like, you don't have to look there. Like you have to look right now.

So you go, okay. And I had to learn this too because, you know, you want to do all these great things. Like if you want to be an actor and you want to like do movies with, freaking Martin Scorsese, like go to an acting class. Like you have to do those little tiny bullshit things. I don't care how old you are. You have to do those things because it keeps like the muscle working and it keeps everything going. And I hear a lot of people that are like, well, I'm 35 years old.

Like, I'm not going to go to a basic beginner acting class. Well, it's like, well, why not? I just, you can't look at like the long-term thing. You have to go, okay, what can I change today? What can I learn today? Even if it's like a tiny bit of information, like it helps. I feel like we're constantly kind of doing that or like, I don't know. It's good.

It's a really, this is a good time to figure that stuff out for sure. Yeah, and I also just want to say that I understand that people are struggling on levels that the four of us can't really understand, may have never experienced, you know, people have lost their jobs, their savings, they can't feed their families. I understand that people are not okay right now and they're crippled by anxiety of what's going to happen to them professionally and financially and they can't pay their rent. And I want to be sensitive to that. You know, I want people to understand that if you're struggling to get by, you know, you might be. hearing this and being like, what the fuck? I'm not going to learn a new skill on the internet. You know, and I just, I want to be sensitive to that. And, you know, I've been there where I was struggling financially and professionally didn't know how I was going to make my next rent payment. And we weren't even in a pandemic. So I just want to empathize. And Rain and I talk about this all the time. And we want to help more people that are struggling in this position during this

crisis. And that's kind of what we're going to be working on next. But this conversation is more about people who aren't experiencing that. And honestly, people who would be wasting their time and potential and complaining whether there was a pandemic or not. This advice applies past this too. This is like honestly, one of the saddest times that our generation has seen. I mean, this hasn't happened ever for anybody that we know. And like, it's so devastating and horrible.

I mean, yeah, what's happening is honestly so devastating. To touch on what you said, I could not agree more. There is a time to grieve. There is a time to be sad. It's okay. And people just need to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And they can get out of their rut. And like Ariel was saying, it is baby steps.

It's one thing at a time. Like once you feel like you've had a couple weeks to kind of like, you know, feel sad and decompress and be with your family or, you know, taking care of your loved ones, you can get back on your feet. And just one step at a time until you get there. It's success doesn't happen overnight. And, you know, finding yourself does it happen overnight? But little by little, you can do things that better yourself and finally get there, you know? Yeah. I mean, when I can tell myself.

But when you think about your whole life, maybe this lasts three months and it's a drop in the bucket compared to the whole span of your life. And that's three months. I get to talk to my family every day. I get to FaceTime with them. I'm completely alone and it sucks, you know? But I've been cooking every day. I've been watching shit on Bravo also.

I really lean into the trash. But I think that it's such a small amount of time in the grand scheme of your life. so I've accepted it and it's happening and I'm using this time to enjoy my life and learn things, but also to watch below deck on Bravo. I'm going to do really low. You don't have to freaking, you don't have to freaking like read the dictionary.

I think like the best thing is... I probably should actually to be better. Same. No, but like I think it's awesome to like sit and watch an entire season of something and just let yourself like binge and like have fun. But also like, like you said, don't complain about it when you're like,

I didn't do anything. Like, yeah, it's just, it's a balance. There's a balance. For sure. Well, we have time. We're going to be doing this for a while. You're right. We can do all of it.

I think as of right now, for L.A., we have another mandatory 30 days. So it was two weeks. Now it's extended to 30 days, which is pretty crazy because in total, that's 45 days where you're not supposed to go socialize and not leave your house. Obviously, it's doable because we're doing it. But that's it. This is a very, very crazy time. When you step back and look at it, you're like, holy shit.

America was forced to like shut down. Las Vegas is shut down. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, yes. It's crazy. It's crazy. Like news anchors are in their homes.

They're reporting live from their basement. It's wild. Wow. It's insane. Yeah. Our friend Jason, he, uh, who reports for e-news, he's doing stuff in his closet. He's literally in his closet and like where there's best sound. He's doing his, like, voiceovers and stuff and reporting from his closet.

I'm like, this is a weird time. Yeah. Yeah, I'm watching Trevor Noah every day. He's in his bed and a sweatshirt. And Ashley this morning was like, are you watching Kelly Rippa? She's in a sweatshirt. She's in a t-shirt on Ryan Seacrest is in a hoodie in his kitchen. It's just like what is, and then they have to call it Skype in their guest.

It's just. Hey, what a crazy. I'm a crazy. This is a crazy world. It's a crazy world. I think that this is probably the only thing that can slow Ryan Seacrest down. Because I don't know how the hell. Talk about someone who works.

How the hell does he have and do so many things? I'll be like driving to a concert and he's on Z100 after I just watched like his morning show. And then I'll show up to the Kiss FM concert and he's there hosting it. And then right after that, he's going to do American Idol. And I'm like, how, what are you doing? Is it a movie knocked up? Yeah. Is it not the movie knocked up when like people are like late to the set of me and he's like,

why are these people late? I have 17 jobs. What the fuck are they doing? Yeah. Yes. Oh, without Ryan Sechrest playing himself, right? It was Ryan Sechrist playing himself.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. He's like, Ryan Sechrist must be going crazy right now. Think about him like, what the, what do I do right now? What do I do? You're right. Exactly.

He should maybe, maybe he needs to like say that. He probably started some genius show and he's filming it right now as we speak. I heard that like what in the last recession like Uber was invented and like, oh my God. And like all these things, is that true? Yes. Yeah, that makes sense because 08, right? In the 08 crash, and I think, actually, I want to read the list because it's He's probably creating the next best thing.

Guys, I pull up the list. In the last recession, these are the companies that were created, Uber, Airbnb, Slack, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Square, and Venmo. All of those companies were created in the last two years, like the biggest crash where people are like, shit, what are we going to do now? And they probably had the time to finally sit at home and figure out how to make this business. And literally eight of the biggest, of the biggest companies of our time have been created. You guys, there's your takeaway.

All right. Let's go like your company. Create the next Uber. Ashley and I created our YouTube channel, which to me is our Uber. For sure. That is. We burst it. Well, this has been great.

You guys have been really, really great and open and we just loved having you guys. Yeah. Let's do this again. sometime. This is great. Yeah. So we let you go. We would love you guys to plug all your stuff. So if you could talk about your podcast, we're listening to it, your Instagrams. And we'll obviously link all this so people can see it. But let people find you. Yeah. So we have a new podcast that we actually launched today, believe it or not. Oh my God. Yeah. So we haven't even checked to see, you know, our DMs and people commenting about it. There's just nothing. We're like,

no one likes it. Oh, no. So. Congrats you guys. Thank you. It's our podcast like we said is called riled up with Ariel and Matt because we are a couple who is just riled about life and we talk about anything and everything on our mind, relationship advice, how we overcome obstacles in our relationship, just what happened on a Tuesday,

Ariel's lady boner for Justin Bieber, the whole thing. We talk about it all. Yeah, and then also, obviously, Instagram, I'm at Ariel and he's at Matt Cutchell. That's right. And we make videos and have some fun on Instagram stories. So check us out. If you guys, their Instagrams are fantastic.

I can't recommend it or not. Thank you. But yeah, I was also going to say I was supposed to go off and do another season of Love Island because I host a show on CBS called Love Island. And I was supposed to go off and do that. But obviously, that is being pushed. Yeah. But yeah.

So if it comes back, you will be the host again. It will be, it will come back and I will be the host. I just wanted everyone to know. Guys, thank you so much. Into our listeners, just stick around. We're going to come back. We have another little fun segment that ties back into couples and quarantines. So we'll hold off on that, but we're going to say goodbye to you guys.

Thanks again. Thanks for having us. Good to meet you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye, guys. See later.

Okay. We're back. Just the two of us. Just the two of us. We can make it if we try. Okay. I named the segment. You don't know it yet.

Actually not to tell me what it's called. It's not that great, but we know, whatever. So this segment is we asked you guys what, how do you word it? You worded it so funny when you asked on Instagram. You were like, what is the stupid shit? What it gave me the idea as a friend of mine was like, I'm having the stupidest fight with my boyfriend. Like we're having these like crazy arguments. And so I asked one of the craziest things you guys are like bickering about that are just like absurd during this while you're quarantined with your significant other.

Okay. So it came from a friend. The inspo. The inspo. Yes. Okay. I'm calling it quarantine quarrels. Cute.

Okay. Corn quarrels. Corona conflicts. Corona couples. COVID quarrels. Take your pick. Ashley, you're such a master with this. I'll be here.

I'll be here all night. What I was astounded by, I was like, people have really found the craziest shit to fight about. We've got like a lot of the same thing. But yeah, like, I will say up top, a huge majority of this was dishwasher stuff, making food solo without the other person who the dog loves more, how to properly hang toilet paper,

work call volume Tiger King and banana bread. You got, no one makes more banana bread than right now in history. And how they cut the banana bread. No, also overwhelmingly how loud someone breathes. Do not breathe near me. I wrote it down. I wrote a thing about pretty. But you guys have invented like even crazier things to fight about.

So we wrote down the funniest ones. I wrote down my favorite one about. We're going to start with my actual favorite one. You're going to start with your favorite one? Yeah. Fine. I'll start with my favorite one. Okay.

And then we're going to wrap up with one. Somebody had a fight about us. I didn't tell you. I saw that. I saw that. God damn it, Ashley. Okay. My favorite one.

I wanted a finger in my butthole and he said, you poop too much. Now that I'm home and I'm realizing it and he refused to do it. That's my favorite one of all of it. The quarantine ruined her chances of getting a finger in the butt because now he knows that she poops all the time. Yeah. Like this is like pulled back the curtain of people's love lives and men are like, oh my God,

I didn't know that you like duky three times a day. Because like some people are out there. shitting at the office. I was thinking about that though. Like couples are having to go to the bathroom in front of each other all day every day. This is day 20. I know. Okay.

Here's my personal favorite. Okay. I asked him to fix something using a hammer. He did. But in my opinion, he was hammering too loud. Cannot. How do you hammer quiet? Hammering too loud.

And she asked him to do it. I can't get over this bitch. I mean, I love this so much. She asked him to do it. And hammering's loud. Too fast, too loud. Like, find me a tool that's quiet. I guess like a screw, like a screwdriver.

I love that one so much so much. There's so much stuff about volume. People are just like unhinged. They're fighting about everything. Okay, this is sort of like a two-parter. My boyfriend said to me, do you talk this much every day? And then this is sort of similar as someone.

read them together. Her boyfriend told her he doesn't quote, quote, like my work phone voice. Yes. I saw that one too. She wrote the I roll emoji too. I saw another one that said they don't like each other's work phone voice. Like each other's probably never heard the other person's work phone voice. Couples are just never heard it, right? Like I also like when I used to like have something to me and I'd go in the other room to have those calls. That voice is so embarrassing. I remember the first time I heard Kate's. I was staying with her in Atlanta and I like stayed the night and I woke up and it was workday. I think we had a show or something that night. And I heard it. And she's at her table doing a conference call. And I was like, that is not my best friend. Like, it was just like,

who is this voice? Okay. I have never heard your work phone voice. I don't think you really have one because I think you and I work for ourselves. So it's like, we don't really need to like, I don't need to have that voice. But I worked in corporate America had the voice. Yeah. I don't have it. I just, I am who I am at all times with like friends, family, work people. Like, it's just, Ashley just never tries to be better. She's just the same always. I will say, though, I do have probably a little bit different demeanor when I'm trying to get something from like a customer service person.

Like, because the way to get stuff done is to be like so nice. I mean, I've snapped. Don't get me wrong. I've had full-blown fights with people on the phone about customer service. But I always start out really nice. Like when you call Verizon, you always start out really nice. And mostly it ends nice too. Like I had them cancel my services in New York because of this.

And this woman I talked to, she was, in Pittsburgh. She's working from home. We were talking about the weather. We were talking about Pittsburgh. You're talking about New York. And I just, I have this very, really nice. I say their name. I am overly nice because people scream at them all day. You know what I mean? Like, yeah. People just yell at them all day. Like if you can be a bright, positive light in their day, get anything done. Okay. This one, I think I would question the relationship. So the other day, I'm putting some laundry away and I find three roles of toys. toilet paper in his dresser jure hidden from me for emergencies.

From each other from each other. Okay, this is a real pandemic. We got an email about this too that they have like four rolls left and they're like hoarding it from each other. This is like a real thing. This is like, do you ever think we live in a world where people is hoarding toilet paper from their significant other? Like you're the one that's going to suffer if your boyfriend has like a crusty butt.

Right. You know, let him clean it. I thought this is really funny. Okay, they had a fight. Whether it's weird for him to get his canine teeth sharpened. What the fuck, Chad? Pay off your student debt. What?

Those are two. That's the same one. She's saying like, don't spend money. You're going to sharpen your canine teeth. What's he trying to be a vampire? It's kind of sexy. Sharpen your teeth.

Is that a thing? And she's like, what the fuck? Pay off your student loans, motherfucker. That's so funny. She called him Chad. She called her boyfriend, Chad. I love this one. Got drunk with my friends on Zoom for four hours,

which was apparently three and a half. half to hours too long. She's, that fish was there for four hours. I feel like couples are like having this. Girl said that she had a fight with her boyfriend because he wasn't spending enough quality time with her. I saw a few that said the guy, the girl said that the boyfriend said they're not spending

enough time together. And she's like, bitch, we're quarantined together. What do you want? It's because girls are just, all they went to is talk to their girlfriends on Zoom and get drunk. They don't want to talk to their dumb boyfriends. Right. Weiss my shit on you.

Y'all stopped talking to them weeks ago. Time to have sex, okay? Yeah. We are in a life and death battle over who used the last ice cube in the tray. Come on. Guys, pick your battles. They've probably already fought about everything they're going to fight about. You make more ice.

It's water. It comes from the faucet. It's free. You know what, though? I feel like you would stand on principle and you'd be like, I know that I'm right. I just know that I'm right. I'm not putting the water. It's about who's right.

Okay, I feel this now. You know what? I relate. Okay. This one. Where I put his PS4 controller, the charger. I put it on the charger.

I love this. I've quoted that meme before. She was like, my husband's freaking out because he can't find his jeans. I told him they were in the dryer. They're always in the dryer. You know,

like they're always where they should be. Where did you put my keys? Where on the key holder? Chad. Where the keys go? Always. Okay, this one I can relate to. He was standing too close to me

while I was cooking. Get out of my space. My dad came in, started tinkering around in the kitchen, I like lashed out at him. Get out of my space. Too many cooks in the kitchen is the most accurate saying because it's like, get out of here.

Get out of here. Okay, I don't mind it. I like people in my space, but like we've been quarantined together for weeks. Any opportunity to be out of my space, get the fuck out of my space. I just hate when people start trying to do stuff. Like my dad just comes in there

and just wrecks havoc. He's like a bowl in a china shop because my mom and my mom and I've been cooking a lot. I've been making all the hell of fresh meals and she preps them and I cook them. And my dad just comes in there, hot and starts fucking with stuff and he's been drinking for hours. He's a mess.

Well, he's never going to contribute to the situation. He's just in there to like make a dad joke and get more alcohol and walk back out of the kitchen. Yeah. Well, he does get into the wine either. Yeah. Lee's in charge of alcohol. He's in charge of my alcohol consumption.

I was confused about this. We had a fight about who had to get naked first for sex because we were both so cold. Why are you so cold? Do they lose their heat? You guys don't have to pay. your heat bill they can't come for you that's the law um i love this one he snapped that i wasn't pulling my weight on the puzzle lots of puzzle fights lots of puzzle fights april 2020 tons of puzzle fights this girl said that he finished the puzzle without her she lost her mind yeah who knew

i saw this i saw this meme that was like when did when did you all buy all these puzzles i mean you know my mom's a crazy puzzle person she has been forever so we have so many like i could be i could be selling them Yeah, bought her three puzzles for Christmas. Yeah. Probably on the shelf back there behind you. I know. Oh, my God. This psycho thought you put milk in the bowl before the cereal.

That's crazy. You are really learning things about your partner that like no one should know. Yeah. That's crazy. What kind of person puts the milk in the beauty of cereal is that you pour the milk into the cereal and it gets all in there. I know. It's fucking weird.

You're dating a serial killer. It really bothered him that I wore my cheetah shirt while we watched Tiger King because I looked like Carol. Can you imagine that? You guys are watching Tiger King. He's like, take that off. I cannot. He thinks she's going to murder him.

The amount of Tiger King arguments about like, who's the real villain? Yes. Is it Joe or Carol? Yeah. I mean, we all agree she killed her husband. I didn't watch it. I just, I don't know how we're friends. This is funny because I can see you doing it.

He said I take 75 minutes to get ready. It takes me 45. So I didn't talk to him for 15 hours. That's crazy. I saw that. I hope she was sleeping for some of that. It's a long fucking time. Here's my other, my second favorite one besides the hammer.

Oh, my God. He screamed, I'm going to fuck your mom on Xbox while I was hosting a conference call for work. But he's playing like call a duty, like threatening people while she's on a work call. I'm going to fuck your mom. You know he was talking to a 13 year old first of all. Yes. It's like that scene in the breakup. Every single, I feel like every single work call in America has been interrupted by a boy.

talking shit to a 13-year-old on call of duty. My boyfriend told me I need to walk softer. All hell broke loose. Wait, I have one that goes with that. For some reason, he wears flip-flops around the house and he'd be flip-flopping too loud. I relate to that. I feel that.

I don't want to hear that. I don't want to hear it. Me either. But like, we are really inventing ways to fight with people these days. You walk too loud. I love it. Okay. Okay.

You can read one. Okay. This one, this would get me. I don't know what I would even do. about it. He calls it coronavirus instead of coronavirus makes me want to stab him. Just say it right. Wait, what does he call it? Corona. One news article. Just say it right, Tyler. Look on the internet. Just once. Read a meme. It's there.

This shit is so petty. The method he uses for closing the curtains. It is currently an ongoing fight. What? Petty. This one, okay, this is what their fight is about. I've licked your ass before. No, you have it. That is so funny. I think I'd remember this guy's all like, I've licked your ass before. She's like, no, you haven't. Can you imagine fighting over that? I think I would know. I think I would remember.

I would be, I would start to fight. I'd be like, who's ass where you're looking? Exactly. Okay. This is one of my favorites. Tight finances had us in a heated match over who will become the pimp and who will become the prostitute. I like the gender roles in this house.

She's like, uh-uh, just because I'm the girl doesn't mean I have to be the prostitute. I'm the pimp. Okay. They argued over who has the bigger butt. they brought out the measuring tape and all came to the conclusion that he is thicker but my butt to thigh ratio is more drastic this is how boring we are

we're using measuring tapes for entertainment now my last one is about us okay we got into a fight about the boner he got while watching the GGE live show last weekend I bet it was the part where I just stood up and my tits were just in the middle of the screen or maybe was my belly button sweat

my brother was like I cannot believe I cannot believe you pointed that out it was so funny if you guys missed it April 18th because it was so fun. Okay, I'll end it on one about us too. Who gets to listen to their podcast out loud in the morning? GGE versus pardon my take. I won, obviously.

Sorry, Barstool. Sorry. But listen to it after ours, you know? Yeah, whatever. You guys got time. Okay, well, we are going to do this segment again because we have so many more. You guys, I'm not kidding that there was thousands. So we just had to pick ones out that stuck out to us because we couldn't read them all.

but we'll do the segment again. Yeah, keep having petty fights with your significant other so we can keep talking about it. Yeah, and just don't DM us. We haven't said that in a while. We will crowdsource again when we want to. Just a reminder. And guys, thank you so much for listening again to quarantine episode number three, another long one.
