Girls Gotta Eat - Getting (and Getting Over) THE ICK with Jared Freid

Episode Date: August 14, 2023

The Lord has returned! Our most recurring guest Jared Freid (comedian, podcaster, ick whisperer) joins us to talk about THE ICK. We define what the ick is (and what it isn't), break down icks vs. turnoffs, share our own icks and Jared's favorites from around the world, discuss ick appropriation and if icks have gone too far, and Jared explains down why guys don't get the ick. We also talk about Extension-gate, the main difference between "bad dates" in NYC vs. LA, and airline loyalty, and then we have one of the most awkward moments in Girls Gotta Eat history. Before Jared joins us, we're catching up on Rayna's Italy trip and our latest thoughts on solo travel, debate which pizza chain is best, and Ashley shares the psychotic thing she did to her brother's Barbie when they were kids. AND we have tons of TV and book recs. Enjoy! Watch Jared's new special "37 & Single" on Netflix, follow him on Instagram @jaredfreid, and visit his website for tour dates and more.

Ick really has to be. One woman's ick is another woman's husband. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. Of Girls Gotta E! Welcome back. Okay, this is the most amped. I think I've been to record in so long.

This is the earliest we've ever recorded. What is it? 9.30. 9.30. What do you think the previously earliest we've ever recorded is noon? One time we did the interview with... Dair Pace. Founder.

Our only weekend interview we ever did. With Derek, we did like a 10 a.m. Saturday. No, the founder of Field was a 10 a.m.er? Was it that early? Yeah. Okay. So that's somebody who lives in another continent. So barring that.

Okay. This is by far the earliest. By hours. We've never been on this couch at 9.30. I'm ready. So I have not been well. Like, I'm fine now, but I had a little bit of a health issue. I'm fine.

I'm not trying to be cryptic. I just have not. been feeling well. So we were not able to do this earlier this week. And now we're here on a Friday morning to get this intro out for you guys. And I feel like high right now because I'm back to like feeling normal after truly like 10 days of not feeling normal. And Tessa germanyar, I was like talking to hear off. I'm like, am I good? Like, you know, when you are sick or whatever you have going on, I mean, 10 days starts to feel like this is my life, you know? And then that first day where you feel normal again, you're like, I feel so alive. I'm so happy. I'm so happy. I'm so happy.

I want to thank you for getting sick while I was away. I've had no FOMO. It's just like I didn't miss anything. But we really have not talked shit at all. Like you haven't been like your peak level talk shit on people with a nightmare. So I just have not felt like myself. Up top, wanted to say, a lot of talking shit today. So just know it's me, Raina and Jared. We're talking our shit. Don't get offended. We're talking about icks. We're talking trash. Just another show if you're going to get offended. We're making fun of everything. And that's what it is. Yeah. And it's all in good fun. My boyfriend wears thonged sandals and I don't care. I think it's funny that you say thong sandals instead of flip flops. Well, because I think flip flops could be slides also and I just say slides. To me, it's slides and flip flops. Okay, not me. Well, you lived in Atlanta where people wore a lot more thong sandals. Brains are flip flops.

Slides to me, kind of sexy. That's so funny. I'm just talking about slides with sparklyzed. Because I bought some new slides that match a bikini. He bought me. And then I was like, wait, you don't wear slides. I was like, you wear vans on the beach. That's crazy.

Fans on the beat, like low top. And so we just were having this conversation this morning. And he was like, you want me to get some slides? I was like, I mean, what are you wearing? You're in sneakers on the beach. Footwear to the beach is a little strange, though. I swear we're going to get into this episode. But it's weird because you're only putting on a pair of shoes to drive somewhere

and then walk 30 seconds, then you're on the same, you take them off. So it's like, why would I buy a new pair of footwear to do that? But you should. Well, I like a slide on a guy. I love a slide on a guy. It couldn't be more different than a flip-flop. Totally. It's literally like hot and ick.

Yes. You put on a pair of slides with some sweatpants, walk around the morning of the coffee. You're about to get your dick sucked. Right now always comes back to joggers. It always comes back to lounge wear. Don't forget Raina saying men are always wearing joggers in my fantasy. Always wearing joggers in my fantasies. Honestly, my last boyfriend, we would talk so much about the sweatpants and joggers that he would wear.

It was like the only thing we talked about before he started dating. For weeks. I don't know what we're talking about. Okay. Okay. So I was thinking about how you've been feeling and I never talked about this. I don't think after my breast reduction. Maybe I did.

But I read online and the doctor had said to me it's like normal to feel depressed. And I was like, I didn't get depressed. But to be like cooped up and not yourself and especially you even more than me, like your health is like your number one thing. Yeah, it really is. If it's not like firing on all cylinders, you really are hard on yourself. If you can't like work out, take a walk, like be with a zool. Yeah.

And so like I was pretty down towards the end of my like last breast reduction. surgery because I just had left the house in like 10 days. I know. I know. And you're just like, you're so frustrated that you're like in pain and you're bruised and you're just like, I just want to like validate how you've been feeling because that's how I felt. And it's really depressing to just not be firing on all cylinders. Yeah. And like, I'm not going to like get into all the details, but it was like bad. And then I thought I turned a corner and then Sparkleyes came to visit. And I just tried my best to get back to normal. He was like so great and taking care of me. And then it like got bad again. But yeah, there was like four or five days where I was like, I haven't.

interacted with anybody. Like that takes a toll on your mental health. And then you're like, and I don't feel right in my body. Like it was brutal. But yeah, like that adds so much into it. Like you were not good when you were alone for two weeks. And like, yes, people have much greater problems and health problems and everything. But we always want to share our experiences to like validate where you're like,

am I going crazy? And you're like, no, I just haven't seen a person. I mean, it almost was like, I mean, you were alone during quarantine for three months. but the rest of the world was alone. I know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're not seeing people. Because I was trying to compare it to that, you know, but I was also with my family during quarantine. Mentally, I was also fine.

Like, I talked to people all day every day. I talked to my parents, talked to you. Like, there was not a day that went by, you know, I didn't talk 500 times a day. Like, mentally I was totally fine. And I wasn't in physical pain. Yeah. And I loved being alone then. Right.

Also, I had a building full of people to have sex with and drink with. Okay. I have something more for the listeners. I want them to mull this over. Okay. So a couple nights ago, Rob sent me a Domino's pizza. Yeah. And I forgot how good Domino's is.

And I've never hated on Domino's. That's what we had in college. And I told you that when I was younger, one of my dad's friends owned a Domino's franchise. And as a kid, I thought he owned Domino's. And I thought he was the richest man alive. I think he drove a Porsche. Like, I was like, Dad's friend Bob is a billionaire.

He owns Domino's. He owned a franchise. I think he owned two, though. Yeah, I know. We all knew one person owned. I knew people that owned one, Wendy's. One. And you thought it was Dave Thomas. I thought it was the richest person. Is that Dave? I knew somebody they don't two read as Italian Isis. And I was... Holy shit. They're so

rich. So we had Dominoes like in Atlanta, even like late night. But then I moved to New York. I'm like, I'm not getting Domino's. You know, you live in New York. It's the pizza capital, the world, whatever. But I said to you, something about Domino's is so bomb. And you were like, I know, I love it. But you said in college, you were more Papa Johns. And I feel like I was just talking to test about this. She was Domino's in college. And I'm curious to our listeners think about if you were like Papa John's or Domino's in college because I feel like you really just had one loyalty. Okay, so here's why I was Papa John's in college. He was from Indiana and his daughter went to college with me.

So pizza air, an heir to the Papa John's throne. So daughter John. What? Not daughter John. Okay. daughter John was friends with like my friends. I didn't know her personally. But that's what people did.

They got Papa Johns. But when I moved to New York, listen, you know I have like a secret KFC life. Where I would walk by KFC on my way home from your place and I would like get KFC. I also had a secret Domino's life. And I would order it. Listen,

they had that $599, two medium pieces for $599. And I like the website experience. I like building it. Yeah. Peperoni and they populate the peperies. I just, I love the website.

ordering experience. Yeah. I mean, it's good. She's great. Even in college, I was like, I just don't like Papa Johns. Like, I like Domino's. It's not flavored the way. Domino's seasons everything. It's something special. I sent a photo to Kate. Because whatever, L.A., not the best pizza in the world. And I sent a photo and I was like, when I opened the box, I was like, just found the best pizza in L.A. And she was like, has that Domino's? She was like, we get it twice a month. It's the best night of the month. It's so good. We are not sponsored by Domino's. We would love to be. But I will put a poll on Instagram this week, like your college late night where you Papa Johns are Domino's.

It wasn't Pizza Hut versus Domino's. I think growing up, it was big Pizza Hut versus Domino's energy. But I don't think a Pizza Hut is delivery as much as I think of Papa Johns and Domino's delivery. We used to go to the Pizza Hut buffet in high school. We used to cut class and go there. In the summer reading, the book club. There was a Pizza Hut book club. Raina.

The way you say this, like anybody knows a Pizza Hut book club. Well, you couldn't read till recently. but the real elder millennials know that you had a book club. Tessa, can you Google this Pizza Hut book club? And when you read a certain amount of books, you would go get a personal pan pizza. You just told Pizza Hut I've read six books. And they were like, here's a pizza.

You had a little like thing. How did they prove it? Did you find it? Tessa, do you know about this? No, no, she's too young. They still do it? Book it program. Book it.

But how do you prove you read the books? It's just honor system. I think does your teacher check it off? Your teacher. Yeah. So I think you had like some card. your teacher probably checked it off, I think. I think it was in conjunction with your school.

And then when you read the certain amount of books, you would go to Pizza Hut and get your personal pan pizza. That's kind of cute. And obviously, you'd be with your family, you'd hit the salad bar. This is kind of cute. Are we still encouraging children to eat Pizza Hut? You should do this now, Raina. You should see if Pizza Hut will sign you up now.

If you think I don't have a whole list of all the books I've been reading, ready to go for today. Pizza Hut, get at me. Raina just shows up the pizza. She's like, I like my personal pizza. They're like, ma'am, this is not the 90s. You're not in school, ma'am. For one of your kids, you're like, this is all the books I've read.

They're like, prove it. I'm like, no, I'm my kid. My kid has read it. Isn't it just going to be in conjunction with a school? Yeah, I think it's with your school. If your school does like the bucket program or whatever. I'm going to enroll in school. I'm homeschool.

Yeah, I'm homeschool. And they're like, no, you're not. And I'm like, you prove it then. Okay, and I know you have something to tell me, but I want to circle back to one thing from last week because I said that I did this thing to Matt's Barbie and then I didn't share it. And I got a few DMs, which thank you for holding me accountable. So really quickly, when Matt and I really didn't get along too much when we were kids, it was just me. Matt was perfect and he was such an angel. I was just like such a cunt and I was jealous of him and whatever.

I had big only child energy and I had a sibling. And of course, now we're best friends. He's like the most important person in my life. And I still like get sad when I think about how mean I was to I'm like, yeah. It's like really, it bumps me out. I used to like get drunk and cry about it to I'm like, I'm so sorry. So when I was younger, Matt liked boy toys. He liked his Ninja Turtles and his, like, micro machines and all his things and his Legos. But he would want to play with me and my friends.

He just wanted to, like, be a part of my life. And so my friends would come over, we would play Barbies and he just wanted to be included. So my mom bought him his own Barbie. I fucking went ballistic. I was like, he can't play with us. Like, are you kidding me? Now he's going to want to play with Steve more because he has the fucking toy to join in. So I don't know how I even knew this would work.

But, like, one day I stole his Barbie. and I took nail polish remover and took the face off. Look at you. That is like serial killer shit. You took the face off of a Barbie? I wiped the face off. All like the makeup and the features came off. It was just like a face-less bar.

I don't think I've ever had my jaw on the floor this hard. This is his serious. That's like serial killer. And then I hit it. I like remember hiding it in like the laundry room. And when my mom found that, like, there was a few. be your mom that day. There was a few moments where I feel like I remember the energy of my mom being like, she's a psychotic person. She should be in a mental institution. Like we should give her away.

This will not improve. Like my mom, I feel like was like one step forward, two steps back. Like she probably thought like she's turning a corner and then that happened. That is like, I don't know if I'll ever have kids. Like if I don't, like, you'll never have those moments where you like look at the thing that you made and you're like, I hate that. And as a parent, you're like, I'm doing this really nice. thing to help my kids get along more. Like, I'm buying this Barbie for my son so we can play with my daughter and her friends. And then the daughter takes the face off. Do you think that, listen, your mom's like a little too obsessed with you now.

Like she made Matt's whole wedding speech about you. She did not. You had her rewrite it. But do you think that this is why? Because she's like, we've come extra far. Right. Like so far. Yeah.

More than most people. And she's just like, I'm more proud of her. Matt was born normal. But Ashley had to work to get here. Right. Yeah, I'm the one that makes all the money. She's like, Matt does great. She's like Ashley paid for this house and this wedding, and I just want to thank her.

Also, Matt used to date other people. Let's talk about that. No, and I wouldn't be clear. My brother does very well. Black Time Moving, you guys should look into them where they're available. Yes, the first speech she wrote for Matt's rehearsal dinner, Raina sent her back upstairs to rewrite. The whole room sent her back upstairs.

There was like 20 people in that room. She talked about me too much. She mentioned Matt's exes. You know the video that you put up about saying pussy and it's like dings? Every time we say pussy. Every time she said Ashley, I would have played a drinking game. Okay. Rana had not also talking about Italy.

Let's hear about it. I haven't even started talking about it in the interview, which we already have recorded. Yes. Jared's like mixed to me. So I went to Italy. When I returned from Italy. Jared's so jealous that he's not in Italy. Okay.

That's what it is. He hasn't taken a trip in a year. Jared works constantly. He's jealous. Yeah, I just got back. It was a week. It was enough. People asked this is my yearly Rayna's solo.

trip announcement. I did not plan on taking a week long solo trip. I was going to go to one place by myself. You were going to meet me in Rome and then we were going to meet our girlfriends in a Beza, Majorca, and it didn't work out, and I decided to still go. And I was going to maybe meet them, but I went to Florence, and then I went all over the east coast of Italy, called Puglia is the region, and then I ended in Rome

and came home. I would not recommend these small towns by yourself. I said this last year about Pasatano. I think big cities, if you want to take a solo trip, great. Anywhere where there's like groups of guys, you can go on riot, or hinge, you can go on a date. There's groups of girls hanging out. You can make friends. Like, when you go to these small towns, it's just couples on

honeymoons and nothing else. And I, after like the fourth night, was like, I can't have another meal by myself. There's these small towns. They were beautiful. I'm really grateful. I'd rather be in Italy than not be in Italy. Yeah. And I went to O'Soonie and Barri, Polaniano Amare, I think I said that right. I stayed some great hotels and did a lot of wonderful things that I'm grateful to do. But I was really bored. I wouldn't recommend stuff like that by yourself. Also, these towns are kind of spread out. People ask me, did you rent a car or get a drive? I would have rented a car if I was like with you, but driving solo in a foreign country where I don't know how far a kilometer is,

a meter. Someone was like there's 300 meters that way. I was like, that means nothing to me. I can't read the signs. I had to hire drivers. Just like taxi drivers. But it was fine.

I was a little lonely and I just like, I'm glad to be back. But Rome was great because it's a big city. And there's just groups of people everywhere. And you can go on a dating app and meet somebody or be around groups of friends. It's just, I don't ever feel weird being alone, but I'm bored being alone.

in some places because there's not a lot of action going on. Yeah, I would never do it. Every year. It's like the sixth summer in a row. We're like, yeah, never do it. I know, Raina Books a trip. I'm like, have fun. You're going to hate it.

No, you didn't hate it. But like, there's so much to be said for like solo travel. Like, if you love it, go off. I'm so impressed. Like, again, you're so right about like being in a small town where it's just like romantic and it's all couples and it's much better to travel and like go to a big city or just like lay in a beach. You know, like that's different too.

Like I'm all for like a solo. trip to just relax and if you've been like super stress go lay in the beach read a book i like solo time but i don't ever want to eat dinner alone i like breakfast alone i like a lunch alone i don't care about a dinner alone i don't like it i find myself like on my phone and i'm just like what's the point of this like i just like traveling with people i like to share experiences with friends or a partner and that's just what i love to do like i mean you've traveled solo so much more we've talked about a ton on this podcast. And I just think everybody has preferences of what they like and how they want to travel. And that's just not my style, like navigating stuff. Like you had some like meltdowns

with like a flight delay that kind of put you in a small town where the cars weren't running anymore. I mean, it was just like scary almost. And there's that too. Navigating small towns where you're like, uh, the hotel is closed. Like you couldn't get in your hotel. You'd go to and you're alone. And I'm just not as great in foreign countries where I don't speak the language. language barriers like stress me out. So it's like better when you're with somebody else to kind of navigate the world too. Like I would never rent a car alone in a foreign country. Like I guess I'm not the bad bitch that can do that.

I just wouldn't do it. I wouldn't feel comfortable. Yeah. And I talked to all of our friends that had been in this week, Heather McMahon and her husband and you Shkron Shan. They all rented cars, but they were with a person. Yeah.

So that's different. And I do want to say like I don't want to shit on solo travel. I've done it a lot. I've loved it. But I would only really do it in major cities where like Ashley said, I got to this town at like 1 o'clock in the morning my hotel was closed and there were no other hotels open and I had a full-blown panic attack sobbing on the street

did not know what to do. So in a city like Rome or London or Paris, your hotel's not open and the one next door is. Like you'll never run into this. Cars run 24 hours a day. There's people everywhere. You never feel unsafe. You feel great.

You know, there's tons of stuff to do. To go out to dinner by yourself in these small towns where everybody's like on a honeymoon, you're sitting and having a drink and you're like, what am I doing this for? Yeah. I don't need another meal. I don't need another drink.

But it's like, again, like, to your point, like it's so different to go out to dinner by yourself in a big city and sit at the bar and be sexy and have a glass of wine and look around, maybe just start talking to somebody, even just talk to the bartender. Like, it just hits different. Ten times out of ten, somebody will approach you, whether it's a group of girls that likes your bag or a god that's hitting on you. Like, you'll always meet people.

It's so interesting to me, though, to be by myself in these little areas where people are only on their honeymoons or romantic trips because no one's talking to each other. Like, do you guys like each other at all? I like spend so much time like observing it and just being like, are you guys having fun? Yeah. I'm having more fun than you. Well, when Sparkalize was here last weekend, I guess, we went to like brunch and it was a Monday.

So he was here like on a Sunday and a Monday. And so I was having to do stuff on my phone for like work. Like I can't just fuck off, you know. And so I'm like on my phone. I'm like, I'm so sorry. I got to do this thing. Then he got some on his phone. I was like, no, no, no.

We're that couple. Like sometimes you are that couple. And you're like, we can't. You never. know what people are going through. You know? Some of the time. Sometimes they have to post on Instagram at the same time.

Listen, also, you're just sick of somebody. If you've been traveling with somebody for 10 days, I get it. You take a little break. It takes them a long time. I'm thrilled that I can do these things for myself. I'm thrilled that I did it. I was really happy to come home, though. I did it for one week and I came back and it was good.

But I have to tell you, my biggest fear was that there was going to be no way to take photos of me. And I was like, I was going to take all my influencer photos. And so I was like, I had like a lot of anxiety built around this. And so I actually ended up having a lot of fun having people take photos to me. So, like, I was on this boat one day, and I had one of the two drivers take photos

with the other driver. And then obviously, if you're in line to take photos somewhere popular, you'd just give your phone to the person behind you. Or if I would, like, see two girls taking photos, I'd be like, can I take your photos for you? And then I'd make them take mine. But I have to show you this thing.

It was so humiliating. So in Oostuni, which is this one town, it's called the White City. It's really beautiful. There's this, like, door everybody takes photos of. I put on my Instagram story. It's just called like the blue door. And it's just a beautifully painted door.

That's the tourist attraction. Everybody goes, takes a photo in front of. And it is beautifully painted. There's this old rustic bike next to it. And if you go to the Instagram page, I'll show you like the photos and we'll put this on our YouTube so you guys can see what we're talking about. But if you scroll, you see that like old bike. Oh my God.

Yeah, that's just so gorgeous. It's so picturesque. It's this like, wow. Bike that's like a million years old and this gorgeous door and there's cactuses framing the door which actually likes. Okay. So I get in line. There's maybe like 10 people on the whole line,

but there's tons of people surrounding it because the most popular bar in the town is right there. There's tons of people around. So I get in line. There's this couple, and they're like taking my photos to me. And they're like, yes, work, go girl. Ooh, yeah, turn around.

Okay, now move your left. Like, they're really getting into it. And so I have my prodig bag, and I'm so proud of this prodig bag. I've wanted it for so many years. I bring it. It's my bag of the trip. And I hang it on the bike,

and I'm like, okay, they're taking some photos of me, but then I realize the label isn't facing outward. and I want it in my influencer photos. So I'm like, oh my gosh, let me just, let me just turn my prana bag around. I make, like, such a big thing about it. And, like, the husband's like, yes, girl, work.

I put my bag on this two million-year-old bike and the bike snaps in half. No. Broke the front of life. Rita, 100 people. You're just now telling me this? Yes, I've been waiting to tell you for a week. Oh, my God.

If you go to the Instagram, Instagram page, there are thousands of photos with this bike. You hung your giant tote on this antique and it went down. It snapped in half. Is there it buckled and snapped in half. I'm looking at you in this picture. There was a moment where you like realized it. Rada, this is insane. Did you get in trouble? How'd you not get arrested? Everybody around me was like, did people die? Serious. Yeah. There's a moment where I realized it. And then you still are like, I'm going to pose. I'm going to get the shot. Oh. And there's a lump. of metal in the corner.

A pile of bike cracked a bike parts and your prodig bag sitting on top of it. Like, look what I did. As a cyclist, it's upsetting. The pedal is like halfway across the street. I feel like this episode is going to drop and some Italian official is going to come arrest you in your home. I was like, I have to get as far away from here as possible. And there was like 10 other people in that line that were like this fucking bitch. Now I don't get to take the photo with the bike.

Oh my God. This is not a place people go to a lot. It's not like, you know, people that travel out might go to Rome a few times. No one's going to Osteooney in Poolia more than once. You go for the photo. Oh, I couldn't wait to show you this. I can't even believe it. This is not a one-up story.

The story does not even compare. But when we were in Melbourne and Marilyn and I went to that spin class. So we went to Australia and you were doing your own thing and Merrill and I went to this spin class or maybe it was in Bondi because it was called like Bondi ride or something No, you were in Melbourne, you guys went and worked out

I guess that's the brand though still. They may be all over. It was a great experience. It was like a sole cycle. And there was his bike outside and I thought the bike was like decor for the spin studio. So I'm like taking these photos in front of this bike. I was like leaning on the bike and this man came over.

He's like, can I get my bike? And I have a photo. Actually, I'll put this up because Merrill's taking the photos and I start laughing so hard because I'm literally posing and Meryl's taking shots again she's like yes girl pose like this I'm like leaning on the bike

trying to look good and he was like can I do you mind if I just grab my bike that is so funny oh my gosh that is insane it was so funny I like was like I have to get out of here

as soon as humanly possible I was like if anybody recognizes me I'll die yeah and I just scurried away that was fun I met tons of people to listen to show I was in Albero Bello which is the tiniest town

you could ever be in And this girl runs up to me. She's like, I came to your Minneapolis show. That is crazy. What are the odds. So it was a good trip. I'm glad to be back. That happened in Spain.

Last summer, in Barcelona, that couple had been to a show. Isn't that crazy when that happened? Where were we? We were sitting on the street, sitting at that like barrel eating tapas. Oh, yeah. And the couple came up. Okay. I have been watching so much stuff.

I just want to run through it really quick. Thank you. Because I have watched zero things and I've read 10 books. So thank you for upholding the pop culture arm of television. Summer I turn pretty. I haven't talked about it yet. Again, this is huge issue. I mean, Raina's relationship that she doesn't watch it. But at this point, we have one more episode left and I'm obsessed with it. Team Jeremiah forever. Do not at me. If you're a team Codrad, you need to check yourself and you go to therapy. What's the difference?

I'm kidding. You're team Conrad or team Jeremiah. And, you know, I get it. You're a little younger. You want that like brooding drama with Conrad. But you'll realize as you get older as we all want to Jeremiah and Jeremiah is hotter. He's a fixer upper. He's just damage. He's, you know, he's dealing with shit. Okay. If you know, you know, but, and I'm not trying to insult anybody. People are super passionate about this.

But, like, Jeremiah is a more secure choice. He's so much hotter, in my opinion, anyway. So I just want to always stress him. I'm just how much. Would you rather is a way to get me into a show? Because, like, I'm not part of this culture. This is like the love triangle of pop culture. Well, then I have to get involved.

Raina, don't tease me. You're not going to fucking watch it, and I know you're not. Nope. Stop. Okay. Jewish matchmaking. No we're becoming each other. You've already watched it, but I just wanted to hype it again.

I feel like I learned so much about the Jewish culture and the different levels of Jewishness. I don't know. So Christianity has different sects of Christianity. There's Catholicism and obviously Episcopalian. Judaism, there's just different levels of how Jewish you are. What did you say? Jewishness. Yeah, that's the same.

It's fine. There's different levels about Jewish. I thought that that show was really sweet. And I love the, I mean, I loved Indian Matchmaker, too. I thought it was perfectly cast. but I loved the woman. I love the matchmaker. Yeah, I love her.

I thought she was perfectly cast and just like warm. It made my heart bloom. She was so fun to be around. She's an easy laugher. Okay. Loving and just like that, now that Aiden is back,

just want to say that. I'm really enjoying it. I post Instagram about this a lot. You should follow me, Ash Hess. Survival of the thickest. What's that? The one you were sending the other day. Yes.

I'm telling everybody about this. This is on Netflix. Michelle Buto stars in it. And she is 38 and she goes through breakup and she's like navigating the world. And that's all you need to tell me. I'm like, I'm hooked. Her two best friends are so fucking funny.

They are like not side character energy. They are main character energy. Her female best friend makes me laugh out loud. The show has me laughing out loud. Sally and I were just saying that like we are laughing out loud at the show. And there's four former girls got to eat guests in it. So Usama, he has like a hilarious part in the first few episodes. Mateo has a brief stint as like a waiter.

He speaks a little Italian. And then Nicole Beyer and Katie Strinow are all in the show. And I'm obsessed with it. the very, very end of the first season, there's only one season now. I just, like, burst into tears, like, happy tears. I just love it. So survival of the thickest, and then never have I ever. So this show, people told me I would love because it's about high schoolers.

And I think I started during quarantine and just like, I don't know, didn't love it. There's a narrator that I wasn't sure about. And anyway, I gave another shot because everyone was like, Ashley, why are you not watching this? It's the number one thing people recommended to me when I was getting surgery. But I don't agree. Thank you. Because you don't like shows like that. I'm the high school show, girl.

I know. So I'm loving it. I, again, have been home a lot, and I'm in the middle of season four, so I'm almost done. And this is a show, like, my mom is obsessed with. My mom is so cute. She's like, I feel like I've learned so much about Indian culture. Like, she's so excited. You do.

Like, I know a good amount about Indian culture, but like, you will learn more. But I love it. And so that's what I've been watching. I have not turned on the television in weeks. The only thing I'm watching is the reboot of Real Housewives of New York. And I'm really enjoying it. I think it's just like fresh, young, different energy rather than these people. Like, listen, you can't be on reality TV watching people who you think are your quote-unquote friends

bash you and say terrible things about you for 15 years and still be a normal fucking person. I don't think it's fun to watch. I didn't enjoy it anymore. So I like this new cast. I think it's just like a fun reboot. I'm enjoying watching New York City. So that's something on television I'm watching. I've watched a few episodes.

I mean, I just don't think that franchise is for me. I think they just fight like children. The storyline about the cheese went on. for three episodes. I'm like, is this how the show is for real? They just fight about petty stuff forever. Oh my gosh. Ashley,

you don't even understand. Beverly Hills, one time Teddy was late to meet Doreet. Right, like that stuff. Like, Jenna Lyons. The arc of the season. Yes, like, how was Jenna Lyons on the show? She seems so much, like, different in a cool way.

And whatever. We actually have to wrap this up. We have to get to Beverly Hills. We have to go to our Botox. They just called me. So Ashley's telling me, I got to wrap something up. Okay. The person who's always late.

No, they just called. And we have to wrap this stuff anyway. Well, I just have to wrap this stuff anyway. I just want to tell you guys, I've really leaned into reading in a crazy way. I have realized that I probably love stories are fine, but I prefer a dead body. I want it to be on my terms. Like if somebody's parent dies, not the same thing. Somebody needs to be murdered.

But I've read everything that like Colleen Hoover has done. So while I was away, I read November 9th and Ugly Love. I highly recommend if you're going to read those books, you must read Ugly Love first because there's a spoiler in November 9th that will ruin the entire book. Cool. was there for no reason. I read November 9th and I have not yet read Ugly Love. But I've heard people haven't loved Ugly Love.

Here's my problem with Ugly Love. I finished it and I really enjoyed it. But the whole book is about this guy who's extremely damaged and this woman who's just sort of accepting whatever he's going to give her. And I really enjoyed it, but it ended. And I was like, this kind of praise on all of our desires to like fix that one person and to wait around and give this person everything while they give you nothing and just hope he'll change him. I was talking to her friend,

more your friend, Kelly, about this yesterday. She was like, I had the exact same feeling. She was like, I was mad at myself for enjoying this. Okay. Because you're waiting around to this extremely damaged person. And in the book, he is damaged for a horrible reason. But I don't know, I was just like, this is not the kind of love. It's ugly. It's ugly. We don't need it. But speaking

of dead bodies, the perfect marriage, so many of you recommended that to me, it's very much like gone girl or girl on a train. Really fantastic book. Absolutely recommend that. I read The Housemaid, which a lot of you recommended also. It is about this woman who goes to work for this couple and all the crazy things that ensue. So you'll get a dead body there.

The Maidens is by the same person who wrote Silent Patient. I didn't love it. I'll be honest. I was just 150 pages in. And I was like, we could have wrapped this up in three pages. But I don't know. There is a dead body. So see what you guys think.

I'm trying to knock out books. Everybody has read. So I read the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I got to read that. There is coming up in like with our friend circle. I'm like, I'm behind on that. Well, I just went to Amazon and just looked at like the most popular books that exist. So I got that.

I liked it. I really enjoyed it. It was a nice read. The dead bodies were not in my terms. People just die of old age and stuff in that book. So I was upset about that. We need a mashup of you saying dead body. I just finished the guest, which is what New York Mag says is the book of the summer.

It's about a prostitute in the Hamptons. It was okay. No dead bodies. Didn't love the end, right? I am enraged. Just know you'll read this whole book and you'll be like, this is pretty good, but the ending is going to be fire. That's not going to happen for you.

And then I'm reading two books right now, and I'll let you guys know. The wife between us, which is very much like gone girl. It seems like this scorned ex-wife and this guy and his mistress that he's marrying. So dead bodies, I think, are going to be in this one. And definitely dead bodies, woman in the window. Okay. So also a thriller. This woman is a shut-in.

She is agoraphobia and she's watching the neighborhood around her. Yeah, I saw the movie. The movie was fine. You better get your ass to Pizza Hut. Crushing it. I'm reading Meet Me at the Lake. by Carly Fortune. She wrote every summer after, which I loved read it last summer. I think I wrecked it on the podcast. So this is her next book, I guess. Meet Me at the Lake. I am loving it. Okay. All right. Let's get

into it with the Lord. We are very excited to welcome back a man that needs no introduction because he is the most recurringest guest in the history of this podcast. He is the host of J-Train podcast. You have podcast, probably a whole bunch of other podcasts. He live screams the Bachelor. Every single Monday night, his special that Ashley and I were present for. Unbelievable. Comes out on Netflix tomorrow, August 15th, 37 and single. Please welcome our dear friend Jared Fried. Such a pleasure to be here. Thank you for having me. It is my greatest pleasure to be your most recurringest guest. Recurringness. Recurringness. Recurringness. I've called you the most recurringest guest the last six times you were on here over the last five years. I'll take it. I love it. I feel part of the

universe, the G-G-G-E-C-U. Those got a cinematic universe. I feel like I'm one of the characters. And it's really a pleasure to be here. I literally form my whole L.A. trip around your podcast. Jared, you said yes, so fast. But you also like... I go, that's the trip.

Now I got one. The way you said it was like it was down the road. You go, I'll be there. Well, that's... It was just very funny. We were like, we only had one day that it would kind of work. So can you do the eighth? And you're like, I'll be there.

I was like, it's down the fucking street. It's across the country. I'm a Delta Diamond Medallion member. I can book tickets any time I want. We are a Diamond family. Yeah, that's right. We're Diamond. We're Diamond sisters.

Jared, we have had to fly American too many times this year. It's horrifying. I have no screens. Worst lounges. Can't even fuck in the lounges. Everything's bad. The lounges, they should pay you to be in the lounges with that dusty, musty, hot Caribbean chicken.

and the red pepper hummus and a couple of cubes of cheese they got at Kroger. It's so bad. The way I look down on every other airline is so snobbish. But we've had to do it. Like when there's no direct. Delta's not even paying us money to talk on this. I'll choose United over American. Is it that bad?

I wouldn't know. You don't even make eye contact. There's no screens on the flight. No screens. I mean, there was someone that I talked to on a dating app. and we moved to texting. That's how we had jumped from app to texting. Serious.

And she made a comment, like, I was like, I got flights. I go, what do you fly? Like, being fun and whatever. Like, I'm being fun. And then she goes, oh, I just like any airline. I'm like, excuse me? And she goes, like, she hadn't committed to an airline. This is like, it was like, we are two religions that are very different at this point.

Yeah. She goes, I don't know, I don't see the point. How old is she? I don't even know. Goodbye. Ghosted. Okay. But goodbye.

Immediate ex. Immediate. Done. OVA. OVA. You kidding me? She was like, and no,

but the way she said, she just goes, I don't know. I just think it's like, you don't need the. Airline agnostic. Yeah. Doesn't care.

No, not date. You don't even understand my like life at that point. Like, if you're like looking at me going, it's crazy that you only booked out to like, no, no, no,

we are not a match. It's just that, that seeps into my soul. So my boyfriend, I feel like I did convert him to Delta, which also feels good. Wow. Wow. Like, I feel like he might have been more of that type of person before and was like, you know. You even have an account? Jared.

You date this person? Boyfriend? Can I defend this girl and sparkle eyes? I just, that's his name. Listen, Jared, I was, I hate to that much. We were on FaceTime when he created his Sky. That's, what a moment. That should be in the commercial.

You should be on the screen when they do. the movie. And now he like has the app and he booked a flight here. Like, I hear you. It's a little bit of an egg. But to convert someone is a rush. I'm proud of you. Somebody's super young that doesn't travel. Jared, no one travels more than you. You're never not working. What are we? Because I didn't have any money. Where was that going? He's an appropriately aged woman.

Jared, can we back up to extension gate? Extension gate. When I saw you with the extensions, I was like, I thought it was a Halloween costume. I thought you were joking. And I say this as a friend and I would never... He's talking about I had two different hair colors. I just saw a brief glimpse and it was

after it was like acknowledged. So I don't know why it came across my radar later. I don't know why. I was with Ashley and Tessa the whole day and neither one of my friends, my best friend and the person I pay to take care of me. Well, the person you pay, no, Tessa doesn't want to lose her job. I'm okay with Tessa saying that. I'm going to fire you for not telling me. She's a yes woman

and you've been outed as a yes woman. You can't trust a word test. Jared, you weren't here that day. When I walked in this house, Raina, she was in such a good mood. She was so happy. I could tell she was feeling herself. You didn't make like a face? You saw her and you didn't go, like your eyes did widen?

She just didn't feel like telling me. She's like, she seems too happy. It looked worse on camera. It looked really bad on camera. Wildly different hair colors. Well, that is a big thing. I guess the camera, you know, adds seven shades. That's exactly it.

It became one of those magic eye. I looked at that picture of you, like, I was like, what? Like, I spent 20 minutes on that picture. Who do you think is worse for not telling me, Ashley or my-Hes? Ashley, there's no question. Ashley, you're the friend, business partner. She makes a lot, and she was like, today's the day. Also, you have a boyfriend now.

Rain is out of your single. This is how you treat your single friends? I'm working on a chair. I fucked in every bedroom in this house yesterday. I just feel like... Yeah, I did. I was licking the couch in there. Jared.

I sat on that couch. I said bedrooms, not couch. Okay. She also has mirrors. Like, it wasn't as bad in person. I wasn't sitting here being like, God,

she looks bad and I'm not going to tell her. Like, it really wasn't on my mind like that. And then watching back the video, I was like, oh my God. Right. And she still didn't say anything to me. She's like, I'll let her see it.

Even after the video, you didn't say her? Well, at that point, at that point, I actually don't want to do. What did you find out? I want to know the moment. When did you find out? When was the moment? When was the moment?

moment that you were like watching the clip back. So it was the clip? So it was the cameras at 7. I mean, I was doing Instagram stories that morning and no one said anything to me. Like, I couldn't see it in the Instagram stories. No. And I don't turn lights on in my house. So.

No lights. How do you find all the condoms? He brought them. I used condoms in every bedroom. Yeah. Even the 4 a.m. sacks condom. That was the smell. Okay.

I thought you guys unwrapped a new appliance. It's just a mix of Nichols Blood and latex Nichols and rubber The rain of story It's pennies Pennies

It's copper Okay Does it look better now? I would tell you Yeah I'm a friend You mentioned one ick Which is this airline agnostic

Would the extensions Could you get past it If you were on a date? My motto has been I've always wanted to date a hairstylist because of just different hairstyles every week, same woman. You never get bored. You never get bored.

Totally. You know, it just keeps rotating. So to me, I'd be like, wow, I get to date, you know, Florida panhandle, Rana. It's funny that people could start coining this, the Rana. Like, if she started a trend. Like, if some of our fans were like, I want to do the Rana, and they just buy totally different color extension. That's a Halloween. Strawberry on the bottom, ashy on the top.

Raina Barbie. Someone needs a dress as Rana Barbie. Someone needs a dress as Raina. We're all doing Barbie. So it could be Raina Barbie. And that's just two different extensions with a romper. So you get strawberry blonde on the bottom, ashy blonde on the top.

Right. Mix them. It was bad. And we saw this very bleach blonde hair extension on the street when I was in Dewey Beach. And I posted in like my carousel follow up. And I was like, there's two types of people in these comments.

Everybody writing soft launch, like it's the hottest take, even though we had done a launch weeks before. And then there's the act. funny people that are right and I'm glad Raina could make it to the beach. So funny. Yeah. I will never think of extension I love Raina in the fourth pick.

It was just like, it was just a hair extension on the ground. No, no, no. From here Raina gross. This is I didn't want to say anything. I could never say anything online. I was waiting until we were in person. It's one of the most shocking internet moments of the year. It is legitimately... You ever be honest with me because everyone else is like, it's not that bad.

And this girl Christina were friends and she goes, no one told you and you have no real friends. Right. And I also, like, it's not within you. Like, you're, you're not the person I would think of to make that mistake. That faux pa. That foie. So what happened was I had had my hair, like, bleached the night before and we were recording

the next day, and I didn't have time to go get new hair extensions. So I just kept the same ones. And you're like, let's just go. I couldn't see it until the clip came out. And I was like, and then. I'll never think of anyone else. There's like, there's like 70 comments on the post. And I'm like, no one's going to say anything.

No one. None of our fans said one thing. And so I had to bring it. up to other people. Our fans are like, Raina Wiggles Her Toes During Recording. People love to have hot takes about me and my body and everything going on. No one's going to say this.

It kind of shows you like the internet commenters. Like it's not worth listening to them in any scenario. What a lesson. Right. Like unless you're fun. Yeah. But the thing is that it's tough to have a genuine critique in the comments. Do you know what I mean?

Like that's actually the point is like there's only like rage. It's only like, your toes wiggle and it hurts my soul. It's never like, Raina. What's going on with the extensions? I think we've got to go different shapes. But you know what I hate? I almost appreciate it because what I hate is when people are in the comments pointing out something. You're like, yeah, I see it.

Right. I can't take it down now. It's over. It's already out there. I have eyes as well. Right. Maybe they thought this is the new. The look.

That's what I'm so. Well, they do the look of like the party strand. The front streaks. Maybe you're the undertone. Maybe you're the two-tone. I look like, Raina's on her California journey. Right. Let her live.

That's another thing. You guys live in California now. So we don't know like what has happened to Raina and Ashley. Like we don't know if you guys are like juicers and we don't know if you're like ayahuasca, meditator. You know, like people move out here and within months, they're trying things. I'm a different. I've become a different person. Have you?

Do you guys think you'll stay out here forever? I don't think forever. So what is this between a vacation and living? I love it. I'm really, really happy. I love the space. I love the weather. coming home from Italy to this house was this moment where I was like, I'm so happy, this is home.

Coming home from Italy to this house was just... It didn't sound very regal. Yeah, it was better than going back to my trashdell apartment in New York. Well, I think I'm an East Coast person. My family's there. You know, I just, I can see a few years here. It's really great. We have, like, great friends right now.

It's this really good time here for us, you know, which is like, could be everlasting, but I don't see it like forever, forever. People seem to really hate dating here. We always out of state. I like went even farther north than New York. Right. After I moved here. Yeah. What I always notice when we do shows here is like the women here like get it in a fun way. Like I think that they're like had it with dating but in a way where it's like not what was me. Taking them down. Like New York where you're like. New York feels a little woe with me sometimes like you're like you can tell people are there to like get the fuck out. Or just cynical.

It really fucks you up. Here there's, I guess maybe it's a sunshine. You see women in LA. I just remember that was like a fun attitude of like we deal with crazies. Like, you know, the ethical non-monogamy. That's like a big West Coast thing that is just like out there that you're dealing with. Interesting because I think maybe in New York you have people that are like doing really shitty stuff. And here you're like, yeah, he's a fucking weird.

weirdo. Like, it feels less like insulting, mean-spirited. Like, here you're like, fucking this guy had this insane thing on this date. But he, like, wasn't a bad guy who, like, manipulated me and ghost me. You know, whatever. I don't know. I think you kind of get shit on a little more in New York. I mean, I felt like date in New York was a traumatic experience.

I would also say L.A. is great at saying no while making you feel like they didn't say no. That's, you know, like, L.A., I called the L.A. no. That's why when you guys are like, we could do the eighth, I go, I'll be there. because I go now I'm forming a trip around this because then I can say to people, I will be in L.A. from, and what I do is when I come to L.A. to try and do podcasts, I go, I'll be there from the first to the 30th.

Yeah. Anything open? Yeah. And they'll go, oh, the whole month is busy. Oh, no. And you're like, I'll be there all of 2023. They'll go, Grandma's dying in 2020. Are you going to be here January 2nd, 2024?

They'll say it to your face. and you're like, you're lying, right, do me with a smile. Right. So I think maybe that's part of it where it's like there's a little bit like kid gloves. Yeah. With your situations where in New York it's like just some... You suck.

We don't want it. Just fuck off. I can understand that. I don't hear a lot of our girlfriends that are single say that somebody was really terrible to them. It's just been more like, they're a little flaky. That's what I'm saying. It's a different level of terrible.

Yeah. People here don't feel as disrespected and beaten down. Maybe the excuses are better here. Yeah. Like, because your excuse could be, I live in this part of town and it's an hour away from that part of town. New York, when you're like, I have to cancel, I don't want to go from the East Village to the West Village.

I can't really do that. I can't take a 10-minute walk. Right. I can't meet you downstairs for one fucking drink. Like Raina had like a terrible date. It was because this guy was just so weird, you know, so broke, all this stuff. But like, it's funny also at the end of it. She didn't leave feeling like the way you feel sometimes.

after a bad guy in New York kind of vibe. He's so super nice to me. Not every guy in New York is terrible. I haven't had anybody be really disrespectful to me. Well, this isn't an every guy's terrible conversation. I'm not trying to like, you know, say that. I'm just saying like I think, first of all, I think in New York you might be with a guy who you go, I know he knows better.

You know, here you're with the guy who's weirdo eccentric and you're like, he's on a journey. He's on a journey. There's no way I would ever. This wasn't going to have a, maybe the New York as you see a future. that you've done this to either. That, like, you just... I'm like, one of many girls you're just...

Westdown Caleb. Who disappeared off the face of the earth. Okay, Jared, we're here to talk about Ix today. Let's talk about. And we want to talk about being 37 and single, all this stuff. But I want you to continue this dating story you were just telling us in the house

and we told you to save it. Oh, no. Yeah. I go into... I'm on Sun Grove. Okay. A date. Yes. It's a date.

I walk in. Here's the thing. I'm not a famous person. You're not a famous person. We're not a famous. especially in podcast stuff. Like we're accessible and we talk about our lives. Emmonson Grove, I walk in with a woman.

A real woman. A real date. Look at me. I walk in. And then Emmonson Grove, there's steps. You're at the top of the steps and then you go down to go to the bar that's sunken in. This group is at the bar. We walk in, me with woman, walk in, and she goes,

goes, this girl turns, sees me. She goes, Jared Fried! That's how loud. I'm not exaggerating even a little bit. Literally, everyone at the bar turns. Like, it was like, it was like the African Sahara. Just everyone turns up. And I'm like, and at that point, I'm on stage again.

Like, I am on stage. Like, I am literally above the rest of the bar. And I was so embarrassed. I wanted to turn and just leave the restaurant. I was like, let me go. Yeah. And but you have to be, of course I'm going to be nice. This is a complimentary thing.

She's saying my name and they're hammered. It's like a whole group of them. And I literally come down the stairs. Luckily, the person I was with like went straight to the hostess. It was like, they kind of saw what was going on. They just were like, I'll get the table. Like you deal with that. This whole thing.

And then they're all like, Netflix special. It's coming. And you know, it's one of those moments where I'm like so thankful that they like, they know. I'm also like, and they're like, can we take a picture? Please, we gotta take a minute. We try to go to your show. We gotta take a picture.

And I'm like, and it is one of those moments where you want to go because you and I, we all know like people, more people don't know us than know us. Yeah. Like in my mind, I'm like so like I shrink, like I get embarrassed because I'm like, I'm wondering like who me, like if I was just off on the side, I'd be like, this guy thinks he's someone fucking special. Like I'd be talking shit. I'd be like, oh, I don't know him, so he's nobody.

And I was like sweating immediately, profusely. And then I walk away from that situation. I have to like apologize to, I'm like now in this position where I'm sorry. I just totally like, like the person I'm on the day with, I'm like, move aside, bitch. Like, I got to take care of this. Well, it's a fine line because you want to act like you're really grateful. I am. These people are acknowledging you, but you also don't want to act so aloof.

Like this happens all the time. Like, who cares? I don't care. It's a fine line to be like, I'm grateful, but I'm not some loser that doesn't expect anybody to notice me. Right. The greatest compliment in the world is someone going, hey, I love your stuff.

Yeah. That's an amazing compliment. Totally. But I'm like, you know, you can't choose how you're complimented. Yeah. You know, and when she screamed, Jared, free! I was like, oh my God.

Like, I just want to disappear. I want to, like, throw this woman who I'm within of the river. Just get rid of her. Like, I just wanted to be alone, like, at that point. And, like, you got to go right. I shook hands with everyone there. Yeah. You know, it's...

Kiss the babies. Kiss the babies. Sign a titty. I think there's a spectrum of how fans or listeners or whatever interact with you. And like the elite way is coming up, calm, hey, even sharing a personal anecdote, this helped me get through this, whatever. And then not asking for a photo. I'm always happy to take photos. I don't mind the photo.

No, of course. But the very top is this like, I just want to have a human interaction with you. Right. I don't need to post about it or whatever it is. and then there's like the bottom for me is something that happens just you know occasionally is like coming up in your face interrupting you and taking a photo of you and like walking off you know like it's just for like not like you like you're literally like you're a piece of furniture seriously like it happened one time like someone came up in my face

got a selfie and like ran off like giddy like didn't say my name didn't say I like the show right and then everything else kind of falls somewhere in between and I also say I take photos all the time it's not that but it's like there's this top level of like a real genuine. I just want you to know that you've impacted me and I'm a fan of your work and I don't need to have a token of this interaction and then there's this like you're a piece of meat.

Right. I think there's another one where it's the friend who doesn't know you. A friend who doesn't know you. Somebody explain to their friend who you are. No, but so. No, then the friend. They met you.

They tell you, I don't know you. Not even that. The friend goes, I don't know you. And then watching the fan, explain to them who you are. And I'm like, I don't need to be here for this? Even worse, I agree with you. I don't need to hear my Wikipedia page from you.

And it's always the most insulting. He's like this fat, idiot, comedian who's always single and a loser. Oh, really? He's a big loser? Cool. No, the worse is when the friend feels self-conscious that they don't know you, which I'm not saying they should. They go, oh, I didn't even know you. Yes. I don't even know you. Oh, I didn't even know you.

You know, I really didn't even know you. And you're like, oh, no, I appreciate that. No, like, I... Lots of people don't. Thank you. Yeah. Lots of people don't. And then they go, no, no, no, no, no, like, no, I don't know you. I don't think it's not being self-conscious. I think they're negging you. I think they want to seem cool.

It's annoying. I hate it. It's not even working as a neg. I just go, they keep going. They go, like, I've never even heard it. And I hear everything. I know everything. I don't know you.

Why would I know you? They say the same thing in seven different tones. No, no, no, no. If they don't know you, you don't actually exist. Your name, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. And your middle name, I don't know.

And I've never even heard. I don't know what a podcast is. What is this? Right. If you guys want a photo together, I'll take it because I don't know you. I don't care about you. I'll take the photo, though. I also love, this happens a lot, is a girl with her boyfriend.

He comes up and he's like, my girlfriend's nervous to come up. I like that boyfriend. I really love the boyfriend. Yeah, I like that boyfriend. Yeah. And then he's a hero. Right. He's totally cool.

The worst is the boyfriend who goes, I don't even know you. Yeah. There's that boyfriend. It's like chick shit you do, right? Yeah. And you're like, Yeah, I guess that's what I do. There's totally two different types of boyfriend.

You're one of the other. He comes up, my girlfriend's such a fan. She's right over there. Do you mind? And then he takes the photo. He takes different angles. You're like, you're getting so many blow jobs this week. Don't you love the couple that listens together?

Do you have that? Yeah. That's like a thing where you go, wow, you guys are communicating probably way better than you think you are. Like they listen to the podcast together. You guys, what ends up with a podcast when you listen with your significant other, it's like you're letting you two or me bring up the, topics that maybe you'd be afraid to bring up. And then you go, well, what do you think?

Are you agreeing? Are you agreeing? Bustuff? Yeah. Where's it going? Yeah, let's talk about it. Like I, and whenever I meet that couple, I'm like, cool. Nice.

I like it. And I know that her finger's been up his ass. So I had this, I was, I was in Italy. I don't know if you guys know. I was in Rome and I had the boyfriend. I was summering in Italy. Nothing was better than coming back to this home. This palace.

This palace. that I've built. I said what I said. The rich mahogany here in my L.A. mansion. And my extensions. And my extensions closet of all shades of blonde. I do have that. So we're going to get into the topic.

We're going to talk about it. It's inspired business. You talk about your special that comes out. I just want to say Ashley and I came to your taping and we loved the special. It was incredible. It is really unbelievable. We sat with your parents who are so hysterical. Yeah.

There's an Easter egg at the end of the special If you watch it, get to the credits. I put hidden cameras in the green room To tape my parents making fun of me and like yelling at me. So you can watch my parents like me taking a picture of my mom and her going no, no. It's just like a whole thing with my parents. They still don't know. Like we're taping this before it comes out.

I can't wait to see it. I need to tape them watching it. But they're like telling all their friends to watch and like I'm just imagining them like, wait a minute. We're in this. Like they don't know yet. So in the credits they're in the credits. But thank you guys. And it was really nice of you to come.

And again, I'm part of the family here. We're proud of you. And we are really honored to be a part of it too. So I want to share my experience with like this Ix stuff because I really do feel like you were such a trailblazer on doing the crowd work and all the stuff. This was when I was with you in Denver. I like kind of surprise featured for your Comedy Works weekend. And that was like you were asking Ix and one of the ones was like he sits crisscross

applesau. Which is so funny. I don't know if it made it into the special or not. But now it's everywhere. I don't know if I coined this term, but it's like ICT talk. Like I'll get on ICT where the whole feed is like Ix. And it's all to that sound like, you look so dumb right now. You know, like it's everywhere.

It's ubiquitous. And that's my new word. And so I just feel like you. It is. Youiquitous. Youiquitous. Yeah. That's the name of the episode.

So we asked our audience like how they define X. We asked them for their X. But we just wanted you're kind of like the Iq lord. The Iq Lord. Yeah. The board lord to ick lord. You got to explain it because we asked you over their ex. And some of them I was like, these aren't.

Well, this is the problem. This is the problem with the it conversation. It gets taken over by the loudest and angriest people. And it's supposed to be fun. You know, like, I do think it's fun. It's superficial stuff. It's superficial stuff. And the people that get mad about it, it's usually like in-celly dudes who are, like, getting offended.

And then it's usually women who just like are, like, mad at, some dude. You know, like, and those are the two kind of extremes of it. The way it happened was, I was hearing about this ick, I think it was like a couple years ago and someone was like, oh, I just can't, a guy wore to khakis. And it was just like, khakis was the reason she didn't fuck them. And I was like, what? Cackies, that's it?

And she was like, yeah, it's like an ick. It's like, one thing happens and I don't want to fuck them ever. And I'm like, that's a pretty simple explanation for something that I have no relation to at all. I definitely want to hear about that. Right. I don't, and in the special, I talk about the ick, and I explain kind of my perspective.

And I'm giving kind of like, I'm learning about this. Because every woman, the minute I go, my friend said she got the ick, and she said it's one guy does one thing. You never want to fuck him ever. And then you just see women in the crowd, like they light up. They're like, I know exactly what you're talking about.

And I'm sitting there going, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Like, I'm like, that's just an unrelatable thing to me. And what happens is, what I learned was, like, people would say things that I'd go, we have to distinguish between ick and turnoff. Because turnoff is something that everyone in the world would go, I agree, that's a fucking, like, one woman was like bad breath.

There's no one in the back of the room rubbing a nipple going, I like a little bad breath. Who's going to pay for the check conversation? Not an Ick, turnoff. Not an ick, turnoff. And it's like, ick really has to be. One woman's ick is another woman. husband.

Mm-hmm. Uh-huh. That has to be, to make it fun, because there has to be redemption. Because it's only fun when you know that guy is having sex with someone. Right. You know, we're not here to like, be like, because he wore flip flops and jeans, he should never, you should never walk the earth fucked again. Like, that's an insane, miserable opinion to me.

Like, that's where it goes from fun to miserable person. Right. It's really like flip-flops versus halitosis here. Like, the distinction. Absolutely. The distinction is very. very specific. And I think that's a great one.

Like someone will be like long toenails. Come on. Like, no one is going, ah, come on. I like when he hitches my back with his really long toenails.

That's my fun. It's like, that would be a weirdo. That's a weirdo couple. And they're in the extremes. People like to bring up the extremes to like be a part of the counter. No,

no, no. Yeah. X to me are so petty and small. And like, it makes you laugh so hard that it turns you off. And women get them, and I don't believe men get them.

Okay, so I want to talk about this. Because I have so many. Like, when we were talking about this topic, I spit out a list so long. I typed in the word ick to my text on my phone, and it spit out a list. It's every other texts that I send to Ashley, like, but I don't think that men do this as much. No, you know why? Because we don't go on dates with women we're not attracted to. That's just the plain and simple truth of it.

My penis is a very strict dictator. It will not let me. If I was like, yeah, I'm going to go on this day with someone I don't have sexual interest with. My penis would be like, get the fuck back here. Right. Where are you going? Where are you going? I'm not hard.

I shall not leave this home. You sit back down and masturbate now. Like my penis would not let me. Yeah. And this is meant it's an icky thing I'm saying. That could be spun in a positive way. because just know that a guy's on a day with you because he is attracted. That doesn't mean he was ready for a relationship.

It's nothing. Baseline. Someone is out with you. Their penis said, have fun, sir. Take that for what it's worth. Right. Like we're women.

We're on the fence. And so these icks creep in. You're like, oh my God, I saw his chain. Right. And I was already unsure. We're waiting around like,

wear me down. I dare you. No man's like, you know, she just wore me down. Yes. She grew on me. No men has ever said, never said that. It's never happened.

You can either admit to this or not. If you want to deny it, then you can live in unreality. You can live in delusionville. And there's exceptions to every rule. Sure. No. Not this rule. Not this rule.

No, no, no. I've never seen it. I've never seen it. You hear men say, I waited her out. You never hear a woman say I waited him out. No, no, no, no. And I've had so many emails from how many emails from women that go, I went on five dates with them and I'm just not sure if I'm attracted yet.

We get those. And she could marry him. And she could marry him. And they put that in the hour story pages, as if that's like a fun story. They're like, oh, at first he was the most disgusting guy I've ever met. And he was persistent and he cooked me dinner.

You've never heard of Mansi. She was persistent. Can you imagine if I said that about my girlfriend at some point, my wife? If I was like, at first, I don't want to fuck her at all. No, it doesn't happen. It never happened. Now, this is the point of the ick bit is when I talk about this, it's all, it is the exact same thing is you get matched with someone for a group project and you know they're not that great a student. And you go, I'll deal with this guy.

And then they get on the group project and they're like, I forgot my pen. You're like, get the fuck out of here. I can't do this. I knew you would do something like this. I knew it. I knew it. And I think this also plays into societal things. Like the idea of a woman pushing away a guy who's pining for her is kind of like not an acceptable thing at the brunch table.

You can't complain to your friends about, oh, there's no guys out there. And then one friend goes, well, what about my friend Robbie? And you go, well, and they go, well, you're here single. You know, don't complain about it. Now you don't get to have a microphone anymore. And you go, well, I guess I'll go out with Rob. who am I to turn down someone who's willing to go out when I'm trying to get people off the apps? Who am I?

And I don't agree with that. I don't think that's the right way to go. I don't think you should go out with everyone that wants to go out with you. I don't think so. I think it's okay to have taste. I think it's okay to live the life and go, no, Robbie sucks to me. Totally. To me, maybe to someone else, he's going to be great.

But to me, this guy makes me drier than the Sahara. Your friends also shouldn't, we say this too. It's like when friends are trying to set you up, it's that like, well, you're single and he's single, why wouldn't you? Too human. You're too picky. Right. Too picky is not a thing. Yeah.

Not to me. There's no such thing that's too big. You know, this comes into the special. Like, you know you're the problem. You know what you're looking for. You've been down the road of dating before you're kind of like had a little bit, but you're like, again, Delta Sky, we talk about the delta points and being a delta member, it's stupid. It's frivolous. Of course.

I'm making a. assumptions based on past experiences. You know, oh, I probably won't connect with someone who doesn't see the benefits of going one airline and getting bumped up and getting to, and if you can't see that, I can't see you. That's not an ick to me. That's a preference in the way somebody lives their life. Absolutely. And there's icks that I think lend themselves to a larger issue.

If somebody's like, his mom cuts his toenails, he's always got to, and that would give me the ick, but it's like, does it speak to a larger issue that the mom's going to be a problem in the relationship? His relationship with his mom. Or like, I don't like that he wears thong sandals out to dinner. That gives me the ick. Thong sandals are disgusting to me. But does it speak to a larger issue that I don't like the way you carry yourself,

dress yourself, and you don't respect the way you look? Also, the sentence is important that you just said. Thong sandals out to dinner. Right. We're not going to the beach. But in the south, that's the, that's the right. Right. But there might be, again, one woman's ick, another woman's husband.

You know, they go, I've never even noticed that. You go, good for you. Because it is sometimes when I ask for X and someone says one. And then you see one woman go, I've never gotten that. And it's like, you don't get it. You don't get it. I was with a friend. We went to dinner.

He didn't live in New York and jeans and flip-flops. And I couldn't believe my eyes. But also, like, that's what my boyfriend wore in Atlanta. And I didn't think twice. You know, like our taste change. And like kind of to that point, I think there's also growth and growing up and also realizing things like the benefits of committing to an airline. And I'm always down to see if someone can have a little growth.

Well, we can change. If someone's staunchly like, that's stupid and you're wrong, no. But if they're like, okay, I see your point. Maybe I'll sign it for Skymow's account today. I'm here for it. That's the thing. They saw you. They go, oh, I get why someone would get that.

Yeah. You know, like I, when someone says to me, I don't see why anyone would get, do that. I'm like, well, then we obviously won't. get along on anything. I can extrapolate this other thing. That right, can I extrapolate it to other things. I read this article today and it was like, this girl's head gave her the egg that this guy flossed weird.

But like, does it speak to a larger issue of like, hygiene is weird? If he's flossing, you can't complain. To me, you were already not going to fuck him. Right. Some are excuses. What you want to do is, and this is very female to me, is to vilify

some dude that you went out with just so everyone knows you tried. You know, because you don't want to get something to talk about at the brunch table. Brunch table and then no one can say to you, well, why didn't you try? No, couldn't you believe what a loser? Guys flossinging like a weirdo and everyone's like, oh yeah, I could never. I could never.

And then now you're off the hook because you went out with Robbie the weird flosser. Right. And you tried. Now you can complain about no men out there. They're all fucking horrible. And I get it. This is like a societal thing. And I don't, I'm not sitting here like defending.

We talked about LA, you know, weirdos and New York assholes. Again, I'm not defending it. I'm just saying you're allowed to, but let's talk reasonably about why it's happening. Right. And this is also to say, like, a lot of women just work with what they've got. They're like, okay, I got this guy who wants to go out. He's got a good job. He's doing okay.

He's kind of good looking. I don't know. The sexual just isn't there yet. Maybe we'll get there. And then boom, he's doing this. He brings you to a concert and he does the heart shape at the band. I can't date. No, no, no.

You think that we allow X to see Ben because we already don't like the person? Yeah. Well, I think women, there's this fragile point of like, am I into him or not? And the X can push you to the edge of like, I don't want to fuck him. Once you're into that person and you're, whatever, you're falling for them, the sex has been good. It's hard to get the ick then. You know, I come back to the chain because you just posted a clip recently.

I had this issue with my boyfriend. and I was like, I hate that chain. Right. Like, I don't know how to explain it. And we once got a DM from this girl, she was like, Ashley, I need help. Like my boyfriend wears this chain. I don't want to fuck him.

Like I might need to break up with him over this because he's so committed to the chain. And when I see it, I, and I love him. And I can't get past the chain. Well, that's the thing. Like, and, you know, think of the orgasm. Think of the orgasm. The beautiful, beautiful orgasm. Male orgasm, automatic, easy, pop one off.

I could put one down in the alley outside. Do it. I will. Thank you for inviting me. Thank you for allowing me to live my best self. Female orgasm, you've got to be in a place, headspace, you've got to be comfortable, you've got to be, you know, feel the moment. There's a lot more that goes on. You know, there's a lot more, as I'm told, I don't know myself, but hopefully a woman will experience an orgasm with me.

one day. Yeah. We're still waiting. One day. It'll happen. We have sex toys. You can take one on your way out. Thank you.

I got one on my ass right now. So. We have butt plugs for you. I got a whole bag of them. So you guys really send us home with such a party favorite. We'll let you shop the shelf later. No, but I'm saying like that kind of works into the ick too where you go, I can't get there with that chain hanging over me.

You know, you go, I got to get there and you're doing the math on could I get there? And then you're like, that's going to stick with me. That's going to interrupt me in this place where I need to be in a certain place. So if we're thinking of like, why don't I get one versus why do you, that makes a lot of sense. But when I'm really into somebody, when I'm across that hump, like you're saying, like, you really love somebody. Because I was thinking back this morning, like, why did I not get the ick with, like, people I've been in love with? Because they did all these things still, but I thought it was adorable, endearing. I made fun of them.

It was a funny moment. We'd banter about it. it. Like, I was talking to somebody yesterday. He did this thing that gave me the ick, and I was like, joking with him about it. And he was like, why didn't that bother you about me? And I was like, because I liked all these other things about you. Right. They're adorable. And that's why I get to go back to the Our Story wedding page, they're just explaining all these quirks, how these icks became quirks. They dealt with it. I saw this chain. I was like, whatever. And then I had to say something, you know, take off the chain, Rocky. And then they take it off.

and now, oh, that was a funny quirk that he used to have. Yeah. You know, and oh, he does this and it's my guy. You know, like, I understand that. And also, guys, a lot of times are like, you know, men dress for other women. Women dress for other women. Yeah. You know, so it's like, we are a little bit more malleable.

I'm not going to, like, date someone and go, hey, can you stop wearing that color? Like, I just, it wouldn't really cross my mind. I would be like, this is her style. Like, yeah, don't really seem to care. Like, we had a couple that we knew that we've never seen a woman dressed so poorly. It was shocking. It was horrendous to us. We couldn't believe it. Yeah. And he didn't even know, like, he didn't care or notice. That's another thing about guys, and I'll say this. You know how, like, a bug only sees, like, the shape of you? Yeah. I think we, I think men have eyesight, like, bugs. That's so funny.

So, like, you just see, like, a, we see just, like, a form. Yeah. You know, we don't really notice the details, like, a lot of times. It's just like, if I went cross-eyed right now, that's how a man sees a woman a lot of time. You're so right, though, because, like, I pick in relationships. I pick. Like, people have had to say to me, like, can you, like, stop? And Ashley has a story like that where somebody looked at her and was like, can you just like stop picking me apart? Like, I do that in relationship which I just like, nitpick, nip. I'm just like, why are you doing things this way?

Why do you run the water in the dish? And I don't know that that happens the most Jewish. I'm getting more Jewish than I get older. I hate to keep me like men do this, women do this. But like, none of my male friends have ever said to me like, she's mad. I pick at her all the time. Like, I don't know a lot of women that say, like, my issue with my man is he's constantly picking at me.

Right. If you heard that, you'd be like, this guy's a fucking maniac. What's wrong with him? What's going on with him? Yeah. You know, like, to that point, like I said,

there was a day where, like, my whole TikTok feed was what I called Iq talk and it's all women filming their boyfriends, not someone they're casually seen, that's like new Ick unlocked. That bothers me, too. I want to get your feelings on it. Can you give me an example?

Like, it'll be like, it's going to Rihanna's like, you look so dumb right now. I mean, it's funny. And it's like a guy riding a bike or he's going on a water slide and he looks crazy or he's trying to kill a bug or whatever the fuck it is. And he's trying to part.

You know, and to me, it just depends on the relationship, but I see a world in which a guy could be like, could you not? This is married people trying to get involved in our fun. And it bothers me to my core. Married people. You're married. You're boring. Stop it. You didn't post a thirst trap.

You post a pretty picture. Nothing annoys me more than a married person. Oh, put up these thirst traps. No. That is a picture. stealing our culture? Yeah, don't co-opt our culture. So do you feel like icks are not for relationships?

They're always pre-relationship? When a married woman is like, I get the ick from him, I get sad for him and I go, well, you're still fucking him. Right. Or you're not. And you have marriage issues. I think you're right. The ick talks up about somebody's like, it depends on the dynamic.

It's almost like they all said boyfriend. You know, like they could. But you're still fucking him. Like that's the thing. Like, he's winning. Yeah, he does this thing you don't like and you still fuck him. Like, do you have a standard? stupid.

Yeah. You look so dumb right now. Yeah. Who looks dumb here? You know, like, I don't know. That's always like, listen, married people get to be married and have kids and wonderful families and weddings and we get to have the ick. Right.

You know, like, I don't know. Like, leave it alone. Leave the icks to us. Right. I don't know. I get kind of turned off by those people that like they're still doing their, uh, you know, I'm still in the game. It's like, no, you're not.

No, you're fucking mom. That is true. Like, let's defend. find the ick. It's something that makes you not want to fuck somebody. Right. That's why I give it the definition of special. It's like, yeah. And it's great to be a mom. You get things we don't get. You get the love and affection of a human being. You get to swaddle it and you get to new baby smell. You also have to be the person. They're like, I won't fuck my husband. Like, yeah. No, you're still fucking. My husband does

this weird. Yeah. He also goes to work every day and is trying to provide for a family. Right. You know, putting the 529 plan. You know, like, you know, I got them. So petty to me too that like it doesn't really apply to your serious long-term relationship. Like my ex was so petty. You know what I hate?

It gives me the ex so hard. When you're in the DMs with somebody, you're going back and forth and instead of just responding to what you said, they feel the need to heart, laugh emoji, like go through every single thing that you've said. Well, some people like to react. And they want to acknowledge.

See, so my ick is not your ick. I don't like the reaction. So a guy will go through your comments. So either in the DMs or in text, they'll like do the exclamation. point, the heart, they'll hold it and do like a laugh face. Thumbs up. React to it.

Like Dylan, Dylan Palladino. You don't like a reaction. Just write a sentence. Just have a thought and opinion. I hate it. To me, it doesn't bother me. It's like, I love that. Two different people.

I hate it. It's an inability to just write a sentence. But they also respond. They want to acknowledge how they felt about that text and then also respond. Acknowledge it with your words. I hate it. So that's why it's my ick. I use the reaction.

I'm a big reaction user. And that's okay. And I'm saying all of that. Every once in a while, that's fine. You just don't abuse the reaction. All of them. Okay. That's what I'm saying to you. Weird.

So have you ever texted with Dylan, who I love, who's a good friend of ours and has a girlfriend who I also love? But when I'm texting with him, before he can respond to anything I've said, he has exclamation pointed, emphasized it, hearted, thumbs up, then responded. Now you're taking advantage. It's too much. And then it says to me, it makes. Four text messages.

And I'm like, oh, my God, this person's so into me. And, you know, they've just reacted to free. Right. And it also takes away from what the heart. means. You know, you get it randomly. You go, oh, this means something. Right. And it's ha-ha, they're actually laughing. You know, if you're just

giving those out, yeah, I agree with that. Okay, what about, I'm going to toss you another text message thing. I hate that gives me the ick. Any response whatsoever if you send me a gif back to anything I've said. No gifts. No. Once a year, you can send me one. Here's the thing. I don't hate a gif. Once a year.

Don't abuse the gif. Once a year you can send it. Can there be a reminder at the top corner of how many you have left? A gift counter? Yeah. Okay, well, I'm going to explain it to you. I said something like you can come over later and this guy sent me one of those like dancing gifts. No, no, no.

Rana, now this is gift specific. You're abusing the gift. Because there's some gifts that I love. And I also just love a meme face. Like my friend was talking about this guy with this tiny dick and I sent her that lady in the pink blazer squinting, you know. It's hilarious. But like sometimes. It's got to match the moment.

They're appropriate. I love a Larry David gift, you know, but like dancing guy. I mean, remember that time I was going to go on that day with that guy and he posted a boomerang of him shimmy. at the pool and I canceled the date. He was in town and he goes, he did a boom rang shimmy and I go, I can't go out tonight. I canceled the date.

It makes me think that you aren't interesting or funny enough to write a sentence that's funny and interesting. I don't like it. It makes my whole body keep up. Okay, well, here's the thing. Gifts should be funny. So if you're going to send one, it should really nail it.

You got to nail it. You can't have a no laugh on a gift. My sparkle eyes will often do that like Michael Sarah like, what? You know, like from Super Bad when he feels awkward and I'm like it just sometimes fits the moment. You can't just send a random dance. The girl from Orange's New Black

that thing with her putting her arms up. What's her name? Do you know what I'm talking about? It's the funniest one. You sent me one the other day and I was like, well-placed. Oh, I did the one in the help when she's fainting. Yeah, like I said... There's too much of anything. It takes away from it. It just makes me think you're not creative enough to. Right. Funny and you can't date me.

That's a thing. You are turned off by not creative people. Yes. It goes down to a very not picky place. I want to date a creative. When you say it's a GIF, and I was like, oh, how funny is that?

That's a funny ick. When you go, I want to date a creative person that makes me laugh, you go, oh yeah, that's a real taste and thought. And I just think when the ick happens, it's like,

I've allowed someone who I'm not sure is creative and makes me laugh into my world. We get to a point where it's corny. And even creative is like a bigger word for you just don't want someone corny. Yeah, it's corny to me. And Ashley and I communicate for a living.

So all of these things that, like, thing, the gifts, to me, all those things boil down for me to communication. A lot of my ex-I was writing are communication things and I think you just have to be... Yeah, yours are. That's funny. It's funny. I've got to be like a sharp, funny communicator to date May. I have a few

that I've collected. Let's go for it. Please hit us. If you guys want to hear some faves from like actual crowd work. From the road. One of my favorites is when he calls the dog and the dog doesn't come. That's a personal fave. If the dog won't respect them, who will? You hit me and Ashley's one the other day. I hope you say it because it's so funny.

That's my favorite one. So my favorite new one is trying to merge into traffic and no one will let them in. Car stub, can't parallel park. Just can you? See, it doesn't, but I don't care. I was not going for a fist bump. That's the most awkward moment in girls got to eat history. Wasn't either.

I was going to do the car into merge into traffic. I thought you were going for a bus. No, I think we're going to end the podcast. I don't know if we can ever make eye contact again. That was. I was trying to do. I was trying to do the merging in a traffic look. I watched it in slow motion,

and I was like, what did she do? That's the clip. That's the clip. I was going to do the merge in a traffic because I was showing you how unfuckable it looked. I watched her come towards you with her fans. Ashley, you get it slow, and you went back a little bit. I was like, why is he had a thing? Why?

The Jared doesn't seem like the type. No. I was horrified the whole, the whole way. And then I had to go through. We had to connect the fist. leaving. Yeah, Azul's like, I got the ick.

Azul, no one should fuck me. I mean, are we unfuckable for a week now? Is that what happens? Is this like a curse? What is the satchee of limitations on the ick? Oh my God.

I knew he was driving. I was like, that was, oh my God, I'm sweating. I'm like, because I was trying to do the act out. Jared,

I know what you were trying to do now. I feel like I'm going to over explain myself. So no one thinks I'm a fist bump guy. I don't want to be a fist bump guy. I don't think I'm going to ask. He's a fist bump guy either. And I was watching her come towards you with their fists. Like, what is she doing?

I'm literally sweaty. And then I was like, wow, he must have really liked what I said. Nailed it, bro. Like, do you think I was fist bump nailed it bro guy to a woman? I just, I want to see that on replay a thousand times. I want, I want that followed by Ray. as extensions. Yeah.

That's in the Hall of Fame of this podcast at this point. And I'm like, all I can think is my life. We don't have the wide angle. We're going to have to splice that together somehow. Oh my gosh. Got to zoom in on your face and my face. Right before the fist bump happens. When we both have the thought in our brain of like, is a fist bump going to happen right now?

I mean, that's what I'm going to think of when I'm trying not to come during sex. I'm going to think of us. Fist bumping. I'm like, I'm two minutes in. Jared, get to four minutes. Jared, who is the, make of Ashley, fist bumping you. The most recurrentous guest on girls got to eat. We'll never come back.

This is the last. This is the RIP, this relationship, we can't. Unbelievable. We shared a moment. I can't stop. I wish you could have been inside my brain where I was like, I guess he loved that thing I said. And I went so slow. So.

It was the slowest fist bump in the history of fist bumps. I know. It was a 15-minute fist bump. Raina watched it. I was, I was doing on my face. I was my best friend, fucked me on the hair extensions,

and then she fist bumps. And then fist bumps. I'm quitting. I mean, this is it. This is. This reminds me of this TikTok where it was this girl's birthday at a restaurant, and she thought the waiter was coming in to hug her,

and he was just grabbing the candle from behind her, and she hugged the server out. And then he grabbed the candle. And that's how it felt. Like that's an ick. Like, we just did it. We did it. We went all the way through with it.

Yeah. We did a full act out. Okay. Driving stuff. Should I do the act out now? I don't relate to it. I'm not, I'm going to stay back here.

You don't relate to this? Like someone, no, I don't relate to this. I'm just driving. I don't care because I don't care about driving, but Ashley's more of a car guy. If someone's not getting let into travel, they're like, just no one's letting me in today. Everyone's a jerk.

Like I could understand why that's on. So I'm big on driving. It's like my dad was a race car driver. A big car family. dating a car guy. Like, you can't be a, like, shy driver or a nervous driver, or you can't not be able to park. Like, it's attractive to me that you know cars and know how to drive that. Like, your vagina is directly hooked into the car.

I don't care. Like, I want a guy that can drive five-speed. Like, it is the thing that is important to me. I had an ex that was, like, a nervous driver, and I was like, I can't. No. You know? Yeah, this is, again, if you get deeper on it, you're right. Like, that's family.

That's childhood. Like, what if you were driving? And my dad was. in the car. Like my dad would be like, I'd have to look at my dad. Yeah. Looking at you. Yeah. No, Jews, my dad's like, I don't know how to change a tire and I don't want to know how to change a tire. I don't want to know how to do anything I can pay a person to do. Ashley said car stuff and I was like, I won't relate to this at all. It would never even occur to me. It's funny. I was like here in L.A. one night and I was like running around with Ted Jones and he was driving and

this was early on in the It culture and he like just couldn't decide on a spot. There was plenty of spots. And he was going it out and he goes, are you getting the ick right now? And it was like, It was such a funny thing to say. Right. I was like, yeah. I saw a guy in The Bachelor get out of a boat. I was like, that would make me unfuckable to so many women. Getting out of a boat.

Me getting out of a boat. Oh, just watching you get out of a boat. Right. Me being like, I'll be over in a second. And then me like fumbling over the top like a porpoise that got caught in with the net. Here, I'll read some of these. Plugging his nose when jumping into a pool. I have to do that.

I always do it. Well, the funny part about that one is someone goes choking on water when jumping in a pool. So it's like, damn, if you do. So if you do. So if you guys jump, like if you do. Like if you jump off a boat, for example, or you jump in the pool, you don't hold your nose. No, not at all. Not even a little bit.

No. You breathe out. Yeah. For me, it's the same thing. Every video picture of me jumping. Is withholding your nose. Yeah. I feel like if you came in my face, I'd hold my nose. See, this is really?

Like I always said. How much cum does his boyfriend have? No, he has to go. Oh. I always joke. Breaking news here on girls. There's a lot of cups. There's a lot of gum.

There's a lot of gum. But I always joke that what do you do if someone comes on your face? Because I'd be like, I see my eyes really tight. really tight. You squeeze your eyes? I get face cumbed like I jump into water. I don't touch my nose. I just squeeze my eyes really hard. Okay. That wouldn't bother me because I do it.

I couldn't come on a girl's face. It just wasn't in my age. I don't. I don't really want it. What? A facial. Yeah, I don't really need that. When he checks the mailbox and it's empty. What? Come on. Transition eyeglasses. Watching him slide into a booth. That's one that I is in the special.

My ex choked on a piece of steak and I got it the ick. Just choking. Not breathing. It's not manly. Not manly. Honestly, chasing a bouncy ball or a ping pong ball. Chasing anything. Chasing anything.

There was one woman and it was in, I think, Indianapolis. She was like, the can fell off in the market and he went and chased the can down the market aisle. And I was like, how big of a piece of shit would he have been if he didn't? He was just like, I don't pick shit up. Like, you know, damned if you do, damned if you don't. I would like it to not roll. I don't want you to seek it out. as it's rolling.

Well, so it's the original one is like chasing a beer pong, like ping pong ball. Yeah. Like, I get it. It's the same as like, if you're trying to kill a fly and you're like kind of flailing. Right. You know? He said, ex-squeeze me. No.

No. No. Absolutely. That's a tough one to get over. None of your beeswax. I can understand. None of my beeswax is fucking unfuckable. I don't want it.

It's corny. You can't fix corny, by the way. Can't do it. This is a good one. I can fix anything on your body that you are wearing. I can't fix corny. When they, jump into a pool and their shorts do that thing where they puff up.

Come on. That's the bathing suit. That's the bathing suit, right? Let the guy fuck. Have you seen men swimwear? That's what happens. Running with a backpack on. That would not bother me.

Getting out of an backpack. I love a backpack. Getting out of an above ground pool and having to turn around on the ladder. Yeah, it's weird. It's emasculating. Such imagery. Yeah. Putting on oven mitts.

What? I mean, swimming with dolphins. holding their fin being dragged through the water. Yelling, hold the elevator, especially if the doors close on him. Oh my God. That's bad. Breathing and they make the whistle with their nose.

Yeah. I mean, that's tough. That's a tough one. Yeah. Being strapped into a ride. That's so funny. Like being at a roller coaster, like the carny comes over. He's like, are you ready?

And he's like, let's go. Well, it's so funny because it's also like, what's the alternative not being strapped into a ride? and what's the alternative picking the pan out of the oven with bare hands? Right. It seems like a lot of these people, these women that are writing these ex, they just want like a stern 50s dad. Yeah.

They just want a guy that's just like sitting there angrily. Someone writes in like wearing a seatbelt, you know? You're just like, um, waiting for the attendant to fix the self-checkout machine while he's trying to pay for his groceries. Yeah, all these are just like a little bit beta, but they're just like, what's the alternative? That's why I'm like, how did you end up with this person in the first place? That's what I come back to. If it bothers you about them, you don't really respect them.

Someone had it circling around a full parking lot and not finding a parking spot. Yeah. The parking thing is a thing. Parkings is real. Watching a man at a bar wait for a seat. It gives me the heck. If a man says to me like I'm waiting for a seat at the bar, I'll wait in my car downstairs before I go in.

You need to have a seat when I get there. Just kind of like pussyfooting around the bar. Yeah, it is an unfuckable look. If I think about it like, anything over there? Yeah, all right. Yeah, I get that. In those situations, you got to own the situation. You have to be like, let me get you a drink.

Walk up, you know, order drinks. Like, you can get around that. To me, every egg is awkwardly waiting for the bar. Unreasonable and reasonable at the same time. That's what I always say. They're both at the same time and that's what makes those. It's fun because you go, again, someone else might be with them. So we read you a couple that we got from our audience.

Let's hear them. So one of the top ones was coming straight from Barbie when men sing to you. To sing to a woman. Guitar also. Like usually guitar. It plays into it, because you have to be good. The real problem with it, the unfuckable thing of it, I think, is the guy going, I think I'm good.

I take myself seriously. In this moment, that's what's so untractive. I suffered from this. My neighbor used to come downstairs with this guitar and sing. It was the same song all the time, and I don't know if he made it up or not. He would sing and make direct eye contact with me while he did it. And during COVID, the quarantine part of COVID, he would do that and I could not fuck him. There was no one else on earth to have sex with besides this guy.

and I still couldn't do it. Right. I always like, you know, if I sing, which I do every now and again, I think it's funny. Like, I think it's stupid. I'm doing it as a gag. Yeah. You know, but I do think I'm a pretty good singer.

Oh, my goodness. But if I sing, if you catch it, well, that was pretty good. You have to undersell over deliver. Yeah. It has to be a gag. Yeah. I mean, the whole story, this guy in the Hamptons, that he could play the guitar.

There was a guitar in the corner. He pulled it out. And I was like, I'd already gotten the ick. But I was like, you have to leave. I pulled him outside. I was like, I'm just not feeling a vibe. And it was like a whole thing. But he wasn't good.

Right. Which kind of, if he would have blown us away, the whole group was there, with the guitar, it could have ended differently. I can see like you're in the Hamptons and all your friends are sitting around the fire and like your man brings out of guitar and he's singing, everybody likes it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can see that being really sexy. Totally.

Like, I've always had this, like, dream of learning one song on the piano. I want to learn one song and learn it so well. whenever I see a piano, someone's like, do you play? And I go, no. And they go, you don't want to. And I go, I'll do it. Yeah, okay. And I just nail this one song.

And they go, play more. And I go, I can't. He's still upset about the fist bump. Right. The fist bump heard around the world. Yeah. Men wearing no show socks. See, this is one that I.

You're wearing no show socks. I'm not wearing socks at all. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's right. A few about talking to the dog. Baby talk. Someone's dog voice is make or break.

Really? Yeah. Your boyfriend, what's his dog voice? Oh my God, he would never. He doesn't have a dog voice. He just talks to it like a human. Hey, he's not going like, hey, zo. You know, like.

What about this dog voice? You ready? Hey, Azoo. Right. Like, that's the guy. That's the classic guy one. Azul. You know, that would be.

Like a scruffy, like dog. Yes. Like a scooo. Yeah. If I went, hey zo. No. Game over. Story.

I mean, if he did that more deep voice, like, yeah, no, it's the same as mine. Right. I can handle it at a minimum. Like, let's not overdo it. But if I already really want to fuck you, like my ex with two pugs, he has like a crazy dog voice. What?

Is it high pitch? No, it's like, it's like a low, like, what are you doing over there? But I think he's so masculine and sexy. I think he's so masculine and sexy. Right. It doesn't enter my mind for one second that that's weird or bothers him. He loves his dogs.

He's obsessed with them. I think it's adorable. I mean, I've also had an ex that would mimic me, which is funny. You know, like, he would talk to the dog, like I talked to the dog. It was like he was making fun of me. But that's an acknowledgement that this is stupid. Yeah, exactly. But if a guy came in and was like, he's it?

Like, I would love my. No, no, no. What about baby talk to a baby? There's a line. There's a line. I agree. And it's a line that you can't know. Until it happens.

You see it. Right. I got to tow the line to know the line. Yeah, my boyfriend's kind of on the other end where he's just like, what's up, Azul? You know, like, oh, I just saw him with my nephew. Yeah, it wasn't like super, I don't know. Right. But I wouldn't hate that as much. I do want to make sure people hear me agreeing with these icks. This is the thing. Whenever I get men involved in this conversation, sometimes here and there a man will give his ick. Yeah, tell us what those would be. And then I always say to them, you wouldn't take a blowjob from a woman who had a bad dog voice and they go yeah I would yeah and it always the same yeah I always presented the same way you wouldn't take a blowjob from a woman who couldn't parallel park yeah I would that's true right it comes down to that plain and simple right yeah you know and it's like guys don't have eggs I don't believe it to be so now the special if people want to watch it I explain what we do get and it's you know it's a little likey but no I think they'll enjoy it we won't give it away Learning experience. Men have a different type of...

We have a new noise. I tell this joke all the time. I mean, I credit you. I don't just run it as my own. No, it's really great. So, should we wrap it up? Yeah. With the special?

The special? Tell everybody. That 37 single. Netflix. Tonight at, what, 3 a.m. 3 a.m. Eastern, Midnight, Western, Pacific, whatever that is. Western.

Western. It gave me the ick that he said Western time. Western time. Yeah, that's an heck. I can understand that. I wouldn't fault someone to be like, hey, I was going to find it out. Jared, I just want to say to you, like, it's just been really nice watching you, like, ascend to this.
