crazy. All you have is high heels to walk home in. I ran out of the house like a horror movie
like The Killer was in the house. Like I ran into the streets just like, oh my God.
Welcome back to another episode of Girls Gotta Eat. Welcome back. Coming to you from a super secret
location. Ashley's like, I don't want people to think we like jump studios around all the time.
Like I'm a slut. I'm like, that's not why people think you're a slut.
A secret spooky location.
for Halloween.
Oh, happy Halloween, guys.
Happy Halloween week.
Okay, so it's just us today.
I am so glad.
No, I love our guests, but they were really great by my style.
We started this podcast to talk about ourselves.
The last three weeks, I just have not been able to talk about myself enough.
We went on Caitlin Bristow's podcast Off the Vine.
Hopefully you guys have heard it.
It was such a blast, and we were listening back,
we felt like it was so funny and we were like, why was this so good?
And then we were like, oh, right.
Because she was about us.
Because she was interviewing us.
And I was like, Ashley, we should just get guests to come on.
Like, who can we get to just come on?
Okay, Raina said, let's get people to interview us.
I think you were joking.
And then I was like, oh, no, no, we're doing it.
There's nothing I won't do for the show.
The limit does not exist.
So we're going to start having guests on and be like, okay, well, what do you have to ask us?
Shoot.
People are like, what should I prepare for the show?
I'm like, questions about me.
But we really have a lot of funny stories, and that's why I'm so excited to share some today.
But yeah, we need to get back to our roots every once in a while.
Those guests just were not letting me talk enough.
All I want to do is talk about myself.
It's my best material.
Right, so here you go.
You guys are welcome.
All right, well, I'll tell you something about myself.
Ashley and I sold out the Gramacy Theater in 24 hours.
Oh, my gosh.
Holiday Show, December 18th, is sold out.
Sorry.
Well, we got so many DMs from you guys.
You guys are crazy.
I'm sorry, are you guys really booking flights without buying tickets to a show?
We got so many girls were like, I just got my passport.
The girl had told us she got her passport was the craziest thing I've ever heard.
So we are coming to you live from Grand Obviously Theater two nights in a row now.
Yep, the 17th added a show.
So literally, if you want tickets, get them right now.
Like, we can't tell you guys enough.
They might be sold out by the time this episode records.
Right, we don't know.
We have no way to do it.
No. So, but yeah, we, if you guys are listening and you follow us on Instagram by the time
this announcement's made, you will have probably seen it. We announced it a few days ago on
Instagram. So, but yeah, we'll be doing two shows, December 17th and 18th. Oh my God, I'm so
excited. We just want to thank you guys so much. It's so flattering and people got in those tickets.
People were flying in from out of town. It's like, it's just hard to believe. Yeah. We're really excited

So let's catch up.
Okay.
So Ashley and I both had friendship weekends
without each other and other friends.
Are they even friendship weekends then?
Is it even a friendship weekend
if we're not together?
I missed you so much.
It was so terrible for me.
I mean, I was in Miami on a trip for free,
but other than that, I missed you a lot.
You weren't there.
People kept asking me where you were.
I know, same here.
I was in New York,
but had friends visiting me.
Yeah.
So we were both really living our best lives just separately.
It was fine.
We're safe.
So how was it?
It was fine.
I drank a lot.
You really did.
I get really scared when you go to Miami.
Like, I'm like, she's not coming home.
Well, I have a superpower.
I have a vacation superpower.
It also applies to guys that I like when I'm out with them.
I can drink all night long and I don't get hangovers.
Yeah.
We saw it happen in Dewey Beach.
Yeah, literally.
You were like en route to the hospital for alcohol poisoning,
and then these cute guys started talking to you.
You were like, I'm bad.
She's back.
Yeah.
Vacation superpower.
And when I like a guy, when I like a guy, I'll stay out until 5 o'clock in the morning.
I'm totally fine.
So there wasn't a guy there, but you were texting with somebody nonstop.
My friends were so annoyed.
I'm so annoyed.
Okay.
Well, what happened with this guy?
So we had like these, I really enjoyed talking to him.
He asked me like a million times, like, when do you get back?
What day do you get?
get back. When do you land? What's your week look like? You got anything going on this week? So
like, what are your plans? And I'm like, oh my God, just ask me out. It's so crazy.
Right. How many different ways you... How many different... Yeah. How many different ways you get
to pitch this to me? And like, I don't want to be like a crazy, aggressive person. Like,
I like, I like you. Just ask me out. So I was like, I'm not doing anything. Nothing going on.
The next time I plans is November 5th. Like, just slide in there anytime it's available to you.
And he hit me with, uh... Oh, my God. Well, if you know anything going on this week,
your board, call me up.
I mean, what the fuck does that mean?
I am so upset by this.
Like, what guy asks a million different ways if you have plans and then gives you such like
a-
Such a brush off?
Yeah.
Maybe you just really-
Hop out, ask out.
Maybe he just really likes to know people's schedules.
He's doing this with everybody.
His, like, mom, his nephew, his friends.
He's like, what do you have going on this week?
He's writing it down.
He's like a Google calendar of Raina's activities.
Maybe he just likes to do like a cultural setting.
of like what people have going on during the week.
Right.
Scale a one to ten.
You're like a two.
I literally said I'm not.
I thought she'd be busier.
Yeah, right?
I should have been like, I'm so crazy busy.
And I was like, no, I don't do anything.
I got to board all the time.
Basically sit at home all the time.
Okay.
I don't know.
I'm wondering if maybe that's not the move.
What?
I didn't say that.
I was just like, you didn't.
No.
He was like, if you're bored this week, like give me a call.
And I was like, well, I get bored sometimes.
Oh, okay.
You weren't like, I don't have anything going on in my life.
or you did.
No, but one time a guy asked me out.
Because like every week, Raina,
every week we have professionals come on
and tell us to stay busy,
be...
I'm the busiest person, I know.
Okay.
One time I did drop a really embarrassing line.
Some guy asked me out.
It was like June 6th.
And he was like, what do you got going on?
I was like, I literally don't have a plan
until June 29th.
It was the most embarrassing thing
that ever came out of it.
I'll never forget it.
I do not co-signed this.
No plans until June 29.
It's so humiliating.
So anyways, I get back to New York
and Monday night,
He's like, what are you up to?
What are you doing?
Are you back in town?
What part of town are you in?
Every question.
Every question.
I'm like, I'm on 11th Avenue.
He's like, full inquisition.
I'm like, 11th Avenue, 27th, 3 to Mathis event.
It's over at 9 o'clock.
Let's hang out.
Like, hang out with me.
Nothing.
I mean, honestly, he's so canceled to me.
Like, I would be like, this is not okay.
This is so fucked up.
So that should transition us into terrible guy's story number two.
Well, I just want to.
a total of three in the intro.
Well, I just want to say, listen, I have a tolerance level up to a point.
I like to chit-chat with people.
Obviously, I was out of town for, like, an extended period of time.
So, you know, my day, let him know I was back.
And I don't know.
I just, I don't have, like, a huge tolerance level for, like, this pen-palling thing.
Like, I don't care really what you're up to.
I don't care, like, what you did today or, like, what was on your sandwich
or what you did at the gym.
Yeah.
Like, hang out with me or don't, but, like, I'm not doing this.
Okay.
First of all, like, I just want to give a tip to our listeners.
let me know if you're bored, never go out with that guy.
You know, like, I understand some guys
or they approach things differently, some are shy or than others.
It would have been fine to say I'd like to hang out sometime.
Hey, we should hang sometime.
Anything along those lines is, it's not ideal as far as it asking for a date,
but it's better than like, you let me know if you want to hang out with me.
That's so bizarre.
It's very, like, defeatist to me.
But I don't know.
Again, not everybody is like super confident and outgoing.
So I was like, all right, like, whatever.
Well, like, I mean, if you're, like, that low on the confidence totem pole, like, you don't want that guy.
Let me know if you're bored.
How old are you?
You middle school?
Older.
Yeah, so I don't know.
I mean, look, he's not like a bad guy.
If he reached out, we would let's get a drink.
Totally.
I do like a pussy?
Well, he's tall.
So.
Do I like a mercy just tall?
He's like six foot four.
You know I like the tall guys.
So anyway, every week that changes.
Last week it was like, you can't date a guy that tall.
This week, it's like.
All right, six four is my max.
Okay.
How tall are you?
Just made the cut.
This is the guy that works with us in the studio.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
There is.
I'm going to stop hitting on the people in this room.
Okay.
Anyways, terrible guy story number two.
Right.
As you guys will remember, I went through a spell of, speaking of Halloween,
I went through a spell of guys chasing me down in the streets,
finding me on the internet, asking me out.
I accepted the date and they disappeared.
Spooky.
And then they ghosted.
How festive.
This is so Halloween on theme.
We are really on brand.
So I think we did share the story of the guy that did chase me down.
Yeah.
Right.
Oh yeah.
He chased me out of a bar.
Yeah.
And was like, I got to get your number.
I'm going to ask you out.
And we texted for weeks, but I was the one kind of like, I'm busy.
I'm out of town.
This was like in the summer.
This is in August.
And then he was like, well, when we get back from Labor Day, let's get drinks.
I'm like, sure, he disappeared.
He did resurface three weeks later.
And he was like, hey, sorry, I spent a little time in Chicago.
So I've been kind of MIA.
And he was like, I'd still love to go out sometime.
And like, honestly, I'm like, whatever, I don't know this dude like that.
He seemed like a good guy to me.
I'm like, I don't care.
I mean, he didn't know what I had to do.
Maybe he, like, had some sort of business thing, whatever.
And so I'm like, we like shot the shit a little bit.
And I'm like, yeah, okay.
And he was like, can you, how about tomorrow?
And I was like, I can't tomorrow.
I had plans with girlfriends or whatever.
And he was like, well, all right, well, let's do next week then.
I'm like, great.
I've never heard from him again.
Until.
Until I ran into him at a party with his girlfriend from Chicago.
So I ran into this.
guy and I am, I'm sitting there, he doesn't really know me.
Well, you mean he knows we're friends.
Yeah, he knows we're friends.
We met him the same night.
He doesn't know me as a person.
Right.
We've hung out a couple times.
But he's like, that's Ashley's like best friend, obviously, you know.
Totally.
And so I'm sitting next to him and his girlfriend, who I have clearly put together is
his girlfriend.
Right.
And he is so uncomfortable.
And he's like, oh my God, like, what is this bitch going to say?
Like, it's like dealing with like a wild animal.
Like, you don't know.
You don't know.
I can just look her in the face.
You could be like a loose cannon.
Totally.
And I was drunk.
because
Right.
Like I'm surprised
you didn't say
like, hey,
so you've been
talking to Ashley?
Right.
She's like,
who's Ashley?
He was so uncomfortable.
But can we recap guys
that
dude was with his girlfriend
for weeks?
I was in Chicago for weeks.
Came back,
asked me out,
then goes to me.
But I at least
I feel like
we've like solved
the mystery.
Like Sherlock Hesseltine
has solved the mystery.
I love calling Ashley that.
Sherlock Hess.
Now we don't have to
like one.
like why he like kept doing all this weird stuff it's like of course it's the simplest answer he has a
girlfriend yeah can you imagine you're dating some guy long distance and they just get back from spending
time with you and they're just like asking other girls out like what the fuck i can imagine it saw it
all right do you want should we do terrible guy story number three what no when you were in miami
i'd friends in town oh that story and i'll keep it brief but i just like i want to shout out
girlfriends, good girlfriends, we were out these guys and a couple of guys just got like super wasted,
like obnoxious. And we were all at dinner. It was like a group of us at dinner. And these guys,
they just were so obnoxious and like starting to kind of pick on me. I'm not going to give it.
The details aren't important. But I was just like, dude, come on. Like you're just, I was like,
leave me alone. You know, like it wasn't picking on me, like insulting me. It was just weird little stuff.
It's whatever. It's not important. And I was just getting so super annoyed.
and was just like, dude, this is super lame.
Can you just like leave me the fuck alone?
Like, in front of everybody.
I don't like when a stranger necks me.
Do not like it.
It was just very bizarre.
He kept, like, wanting to cheers, like, every five seconds.
I'm like, I just, that's, can I just enjoy my dinner?
And I turned to my friend, my friend Jenny was in town.
Jenny Jones, love her.
And she's like, just ignore it.
I'm like, you, they're not doing it to you.
You know, it's really obnoxious.
And, I mean, within seconds, she sprung into action.
She roasted this guy so hard, but her voice is so sweet and unassuming.
He didn't even understand what's happening
until he had been skewered.
Like, it was so...
I can't imagine her saying it.
In her sweet little voice.
Because she's so sweet.
Because she's so unassuming.
He was just sitting there, like eyes glazed over.
Everyone at the tables dying laughing at this guy, full roast.
Didn't even realize what was happening until it was over.
Yeah, but I'm proud of you guys for doing that
because I think that some people just sit there and like take it.
Oh my God, I would never.
There's like been situations in my life that I walked away from
and I've been like, why did I allow this person to speak to me?
I don't know this person.
Like, it's so unacceptable.
and I'm proud of you that you were just like, you don't fuck this.
Like, I'm paying to be here.
I'm trying to enjoy myself.
This is my time to know.
And I mean, yeah, I stood up for myself, but it's clear that I was just like, dude,
shut the fuck up.
You know, I don't have the sweet voice going for me, clearly.
No.
And then at one point, I mean, he honestly took someone's wine and poured it on the floor of
the restaurant.
I was like, I'm out of here.
And I just, like, walked out.
This guy is horrible.
Horrible.
Is he a girlfriend?
I'll date him.
He sounds great.
It's terrible.
But shout out to Jenny Jones for the roast.
I'm proud of you guys. I'm glad that you did that. I really do not. Like, there's a lot of things wrong with me, but not having a sense of humor is not one of them.
And when a total stranger starts making fun of me,
I really don't fucking like it.
But also, like, it was clear that they,
it wasn't so mean, but it was just,
it was very obnoxious and I felt like I was being ganged up on.
And I just love that my girlfriends, like, had my back.
You know what I mean?
Because a lot of girlfriends, like, don't want to rock the boat,
maybe, or dinner with these guys.
And, you know, they've been buying us drinks all day and night,
you know, and they just want to keep the peace.
And Jenny was like, oh, no, fuck now.
So, Halloween.
We're going to check into the Halloween theme today.
Halloween is one of Ashley's.
Do you remember when I used to do sound effects?
I was drunk.
What do you got?
A lot when I used to be on this podcast.
Do you have anything?
No, I think the ghost thing was all I got.
Oh, yeah.
I don't like Halloween as much as you do.
You are like queen of Halloween.
I really do, like I just posted some old costumes on Instagram for TBT.
Yeah, I really am a huge Halloween person.
It's my favorite walk of shame day the next day.
All right.
So we're going to tell our Halloween horrors.
stories. Do you want to go first? What's going on? No, I want you to tell your story because
we'll go in chronological order. We'll do like Halloween hookup and then like, because I'm older.
Because I'm older. Yeah, because you're older. And then we'll talk about like post-Halloy.
And I just want to go in chronological order because like the next day is the walk of shame day.
Mine is a walk of shame too. Oh, I thought this is adoring Halloween.
It's a, it's, it is more about kind of the next day. I mean, I don't want to give it too much away.
All right. I'll still start. I don't care. Get there. Do it.
All right. So the crazy part about this story is that,
my costume was a walk of shame.
I'm sorry, what?
What was the makeup like for a walk of shame?
I threw it together last minute, because I don't know, I just didn't have any ideas.
Dude's boxers, dude's dress shirt, mascara smeared all over my face, heels, and like a messy
ponytail.
Like, that was my costume.
That's cute.
That's clever.
And it was fun.
It was like, I made it kind of sexy, you know, like my bra was like kind of hanging
out, whatever.
So I was in my early 20s.
Obviously, I used to get super drunk.
That's no big surprise.
and on top of it, I just, like, needed glasses for a lot of years.
Like, didn't have contacts or glasses.
I was, like, so what I'm saying, I was, like, pretty.
Once I had drinks and that, I was, like, a blind person out at a party.
Sure.
So I started talking to this guy.
I remember he was in an Indiana Jones costume.
I mean, I'm just, like, seen double.
He's just wearing, like, a loin cloth and no shirt.
No, Indiana Jones is, like, he's like kind of a man purse, and he's got the hat.
He wears brown.
Did you ever go to Disney World Indiana Jones?
Yeah, but a little.
I don't remember stuff that happened last week.
Indiana Jones is like an adventure.
He's not like Tarzan.
Is that what you're thinking?
Maybe.
Is he a superhero, kind of?
He's like a...
He's like a mock.
Craig, do you know?
What does he do?
He like...
He's a good...
A one?
He's a treasure hunter.
Treasure hunter.
Treasure hunter.
He's a treasure hunter.
Wait, Craig goes, of course.
Craig, get out of here.
So he's dressed as a treasure hunter.
And I imagine him without a shirt.
Isn't he in the jungle?
No.
I am thinking of Tarzan.
You are thinking of Tarzan.
So similar.
Was Tarzan just a cartoon though?
Or would they ever make a real Tarzan movie?
Okay.
Craig's just schooling me up and down today.
Our guests for the week, Craig.
Our fact checker.
So, bottom line, I don't know what I'm looking at.
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm so blind and drunk.
It could have been Tarzan.
It could have been Brad Pitt.
You know what I mean?
And that's probably what I was seeing.
It could have been.
So I go home with this guy.
Indiana Jones, Tarzan, whatever.
Go home with the sky and my walk-a-shame outfit, so appropriate.
And I didn't have sex with them for sure.
I would gladly tell you if I did.
I woke up the next morning.
We hooked up, whatever.
I don't really know exactly what we did.
Super drunk.
Woke up the next morning and looked over and, like, this guy was heinous.
Like, I don't like to, like, ugly shame.
You went home with a nine and he was a four when you woke up.
I mean?
I wouldn't give him a four.
How, what do you mean?
Just so bad. It was the ugliest guy I've ever hooked up with.
What do you mean? Just so bad.
Like, was he fat?
I mean, not like massive, but just like it was not a good looking person.
That's all I'm going to say.
Okay.
So I'm like, oh God, Ashley, what did you do?
You're like jogging yourself in the bed.
And then I'm like scanning the room with my like bad eyesight, like trying to locate my purse and all my things so I can like get out of there.
And he rips the biggest fart.
Is he asleep?
Yes.
And I was like, this is the worst morning of my life.
And I found my stuff.
I jumped out of bed.
He stayed sleeping.
Rain is laughing really hard.
I can't even breathe.
It's so crazy.
All you have is high heels to walk home in.
I ran out of the house like a horror movie like The Killer was in the house.
Like I ran into the street just like, oh my God.
Like, never.
I was so sickened.
And it's just like pre-Uber.
I always tell stories.
I'm like, this is pre-Ur.
Pre-Ur.
And like Atlanta, this is I live in Atlanta.
For people that are listening in Atlanta,
this is in the Virginia Highlands,
which is like a very cute neighborhood in the city,
but not a place where cabs are running around.
So I...
How do you even get home?
I called a friend.
I called my friend Becca,
because she lived in the neighborhood
and we'd been out the night before.
And I'm like, you've got to pick me up,
bring me some pants, and let's go eat.
You know, like, I was so not okay.
Like, to see the worst-looking person
you've ever hooked up with
and then he just like rips a fart on you
and you're like trying to escape is so horrifying.
And so we, you know, we went to brunch
and I was like recapping.
And I thought that was the end of the nightmare.
Oh God. Oh no.
A week later, why does he approach me
on the elliptical at the gym?
Did you recognize him?
He recognized me.
And he was like, hey, I'm the guy, I'm Tarzance.
He was like, hey, good to see you.
What happened to you that night?
And I'm like, oh my God, I like can't believe the nightmare lives still.
How did you find me?
How did you find me?
He's crazy.
And like, I'm on a workout machine.
Like, please leave.
Never went back to that gym again.
Quit the gym.
I couldn't risk that.
I would quit the gym.
I would probably move.
That's crazy.
Also, like, let's have some etiquette here, right?
Like, if we hooked up together on Halloween, like, you see me on the street, just keep walking.
Right.
I didn't stop.
Like, I ran out of your house.
You definitely heard my heels clock and leaving your house running into the street.
I slept next to you didn't even wait to wake up and say goodbye.
Like if you see me on the street, don't approach.
High five, keep walking.
Don't, not even that.
No eye contact.
So that's my walk of shame story.
And like, you know, just to reiterate, it's so crazy that I was doing that in the walk of shame at a costume.
That's the best part of it is you actually dressed up as what happened to you.
Dress for the job you want.
It's like ugly guy's got to get laid too, but you said dress for.
success. Okay. So, listen, the day after Halloween is my favorite walk of shame day. I will get up
early in the morning on the day after Halloween to watch other people do it. Like, I'd rather get up
early in the morning on November 1st than go out the night before. This is a good call. Because it's such a
pleasure. Yeah, like especially in New York, right? It's the best day for judgment. A walking city, yeah.
Yes. And I'll tell you why it's all so amazing. It's part of my story. So I went out for Halloween. I was 22. It's my first year in New York City after college. And I dressed up as Rainbow Bright.
Okay, this is cute.
Have you seen a Rainbow Bright costume?
No.
Is it slutty?
Okay, so Rainbow Bright was a character, like a cartoon when I was a little kid.
And she wears like a, like a lycra blue little dress that barely covers her a little butt.
Kind of like cheerleader skirt style.
It's a dress.
It's a blue dress.
It's, uh, it's outfitted, like the bottom of the dress and the sleeves with like big, flowery, white, like, poofy stuff.
Yeah.
And then she wears like rainbow leggings and I wore like seven inch high, like, really.
like red pleather heels.
Right.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I mean, I looked like a whore covered in like bright blue and rainbow.
Right.
So I go out, obviously.
So I leave work that night.
I was a waitress at the time.
So I leave my stuff at work.
I go out with some friends.
I go home with this guy.
Also, did not have sex.
Just hooked up with them.
But wake up the next morning in somebody else's apartment.
And the only thing I have is a rainbow bright clock to go home.
Did he rip a fart?
Nope.
So I don't know if you know this.
Lucky you.
The Sunday of Halloween weekend is the New York City Marathon.
Oh, my God.
Do you know this?
No.
Yep.
So you wake up going downstairs in your rainbow bright costume.
You're just going to like stealthily just jump into a cab and just go home.
Nope, because you're on the street of the New York City Marathon.
Oh, my God.
There's a million people there just like cheering people on and running down the street and you're a fucking rainbow bright costume.
You're like, what am I going to do?
And all the streets are blocked off so you can't cross streets.
You can't get anywhere.
You are trapped outside in a rainbow bright costume.
You're like, what am I going to do?
Oh, my God.
And I didn't even get laid last night.
Like, it wasn't even worth it.
Like, I didn't even get the dick.
So you're like, unlaid and then this ridiculous outfit.
So you have to, like, wander the street.
Did you just start running with the race?
Because you know, people are right, right?
Like, are they running costumes?
You're just like, it's part of my schick.
You're like, I'm doing it for breast cancer.
Gross.
I don't work out.
That's disgusting.
So I, like, finally, like, get into a cab.
I'm like, oh, thank God.
And this like total, like, washed with, like, relief.
Yeah.
Oh, thank God.
I can just, like, go home, get in bed, thank God.
But then I remember as I approached my apartment at the Upper East Side, I'm sorry,
at the Upper East Side, I left all my belongings at my job.
Oh, my God.
It's a restaurant, and they're open for brunch.
It's Sunday.
Oh, my God.
So I had to go to my job at noon on a Sunday.
In the middle of brunch, I had to walk in the door.
In the costume.
This is not real.
Are you serious?
Yes.
I had to get my boss to open up the office so I could get my house keys.
Yeah.
Walk back through the place, maneuver another cab, the New York City Marathon to get home.
Oh my God.
I would have just like fucked the super for the spare key.
Like I just would have been like, what is it going to take?
Like, it's not my most shameful story.
I wish it was, but, you know, it's up there.
It's top 20.
That is so wild.
I remember running a race, like doing a half-man.
marathon and seeing walk a shamers because it's so early in the morning.
Yeah.
Like the streets of Atlanta.
Like I was like, this is amazing.
Yeah, except for you're in a costume that day.
So embarrassing.
It's so shameful.
I was really excited to tell you about this.
This is amazing.
So many elements of it.
There's so many.
It's a two-parter.
It's a really long intro.
Well, that's the whole episode is just supposed to be us being funny.
Yeah.
Have we been being funny?
I don't know.
I can't tell.
Craig?
Craig?
Craig.
He's not even paid attention.
Wow.
there's two people in this room besides us. Neither of them are laughing.
Hope you guys like this episode. What if it sucks? No, it won't suck. It's good. It's good. It's good.
Okay. So our topic today is shame.
Is shame and regret after the Halloween horror stories. So, yeah, we thought that would be a nice transition.
I mean, look, I didn't regret that hook up until, like, he found me at the gym. You know what I mean?
Yours was a little more shameful.
Yeah, that guy that guy, I was at a wedding with him and his wife last weekend.
Oh, really?
She still doesn't like me.
Oh, that was like someone that you know?
Yeah, like long term.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Also, you're just so lucky that that was pre, like, Instagram.
What, that day?
Yeah.
Like, you definitely would have been like this rainbow bright bitch at the marathon.
And then at my job.
Imagine, like, walking through patrons at brunch.
They probably thought you were like the entertainment.
I looked like an entertainment.
Like it's like a drag brunch.
Yeah, and I was super cute at 22.
who doesn't have like the sickest body on earth at 22.
And I mean, I just got to say, like, that's just typical day in New York.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's another thing.
It's like in New York.
Nothing's weird.
Nothing is crazy to me.
Totally.
Like, no one probably batted an eye at you.
That's actually, that's a good point.
I feel like you can just do anything here.
Nobody can't attention to you.
Someone's like taking a shit on the street, like three feet away.
Just keep walking.
Yeah.
See people masturbate on the subway?
Every single day.
Just keep walking.
Yes.
Okay.
So let's get into our topic.
On the theme of shame.
and regret.
We get a lot of emails from people being like,
I don't, I did this thing,
and I don't know how to forgive myself.
And there are all kinds of themes.
I mean, it's, you know, I slept around a lot
when I was little younger,
or I'm drinking too much,
or, you know, I did this horrible thing to my boyfriend.
I'm always, like, I'm always, like, causing these huge fights.
I don't know how to forgive myself.
So we thought maybe we would have a topic about forgiving yourself
and, like, just how to, like, get over it.
Like, I think that people, I mean,
the theme of the emails that we get is,
like women beating themselves up, you know?
And I think we've touched on this in different topics of like,
when you break up with somebody,
you just wonder what you could have done differently.
And I mean,
we definitely got emails of girls being like,
I slept with this guy too soon,
or I've slept around too much,
or whatever it is.
I mean, at the end of the day,
like everyone should have a slutty phase,
like it builds character, you know?
I think we should all make a lot of mistakes
that builds character.
Right.
But definitely,
exactly, all, but definitely the slutty phase.
I like a slutty phase.
You slept with a lot of people.
so then when you finally settle down,
you just have confirmation that guys are so terrible in bed.
I haven't had a ton of bad sex in my life.
Mediocre.
A lot of mediocre sex.
But I think sometimes if women don't have sex with enough guys
and then they like settle down and to get married,
they're like, I didn't get out there enough.
I haven't like fucked enough people.
And it's like it's fine though.
You're not missing anything.
There's so much like average mediocre.
How many people do you?
You need to pound you in silence in the missionary position before you just get it up.
Before you feel like you sewed drugs.
Right.
It's like it's enough.
I'm telling you, it's not that great out there.
Do you have a lot of shame and regret?
No, I've done things that I really regret.
I definitely had like a slutty phase.
I've definitely phases where I drank too much.
Lately I've been drinking a little too much and I've been like really beating myself up over it.
And I had like a situation where I missed a work obligation.
and I just like was so upset and I like could not let this go and I was so mad at myself and I mean
I think that like that's usually something that happens to be a little bit younger but like I'm in my
30s and like I drank too much this night and I missed like a really serious work commitment the next day
and like I had a really hard time letting it go and stopping beating myself up for it and I was in
this like deep dark death hole and I don't know I just needed to like take some steps to change
that so like I haven't been drinking that much lately and I think that like you have to just like let
go of that shame and just move past the shame and just take the steps you need to to make it better.
Right.
You know, like, I guess you can sit at home and beat yourself up and be upset or you can just sit
yourself, okay, today is a new day and I'm going to make different decisions today.
Right.
You know, I really have been better lately about like drinking less, going home earlier.
I mean, other than Miami.
Yeah, but nothing terrible happened in Miami.
I mean, when I think about the drinking for sure, it's honestly, I don't really live life
with a lot of grats.
Like, my life is so amazing.
I've never been happier.
Like, I think everything has led me to hear.
Sure, there's stuff that I'm like,
could have dealt without that, but like maybe not,
because maybe if that didn't happen, I wouldn't be here, you know, all of that.
Like, everything happens to reason, bullshit, whatever, but I truly believe that.
But I think that the main thing that I beat myself about is drinking.
And, like, you remember, like, that day, like, I met this guy out,
and I immediately met this guy in a bar in the wild, connected with him immediately.
Like, everything about him I liked.
We just connected immediately, and I just had been drinking all day anyway.
Like, it wasn't, like, I got wasted.
I wasn't slamming shots.
Why were we drinking all that?
Because, A, it took so long to find air conditioning.
So when we finally found it, I just started slamming drinks.
Oh, was that day?
It was that day.
And we didn't eat enough.
Like, it was one of those situations where by the time this guy showed up, I was on the verge of, like, being too drunk.
And, like, then I met this guy, and we hung out the rest of the night and just kept drinking and drinking and drinking.
And, like, I hated it.
I went back to his house.
I don't really remember it.
Like, this is not me.
I don't black out, like, ever.
Like, I mean, I used to, but not, like, in my 30s, I don't.
And I woke up, I left at, like, the middle of the night.
I don't need.
I really have no even.
recollection and the next day I was like so sad because I was like it's hard to meet someone you
like and I just would not like stop beating myself up about it. For me I get really sad when I'm hung
over so by like the next day I mean all I need to do is go work out and sober up and I feel better.
You know for me. I just need to get my shit back together. Like you know how I am. I'm like bad
and I'm like oh I just went to yoga. I'm fine. That's the worst I've seen you in a long time.
I can't believe I ruined a potential guy like and then but I just had to console myself. I'm like
whatever. What if I was perfectly sober or had just a couple drinks and was perfectly on point
on myself and he still didn't call me ever. You know, like, it's just like you never know.
And I just, you just kept being like, it's fine, it's fine. I'm sure it was fine. People like see
drunk girls all the time. And I'm like, I don't know. I just, it was such a bummer that I could
have ruined something with a guy that I may have wanted to date. Yeah, I mean, I hate when people
say it's fine or like time will heal it. You know, move past. Like, not those things matter in the moment.
You're like, yeah, I know it's going to be fine. I'm a rational person. Eventually it's going to be fine. In this
moment it doesn't feel fine. So that's not helpful.
It's just, I think now I'm just a little more cautious.
If I've been drinking and a guy, I start talking to some guy, it's like, get a water.
You know what I mean? Like, slow it down. So that doesn't happen again. And I think also,
but whatever, let's be real. I mean, I forgot about that guy by Tuesday. But it was just,
it was a dark Sunday, you know? Yes, you were very low and you beat yourself up. And I think that,
like, I don't know, it's okay to like have a couple hours where you feel really shitty.
And then just say, just like, I'm allowed to forgive this. Yeah. Like, I'm,
I went out, I had fun, I did what was like honest to myself that day.
I didn't know I was going to like meet somebody and plan for this.
Like I had fun.
I enjoyed myself.
It sucks.
I fucked up a little bit.
Whatever.
That doesn't mean I'm like a bad person or a stupid person or I'm a drunk slut.
It's just like I went out and I did a thing and it's over.
The thing is over.
Yeah.
Like that guy's never done that before.
Like that guy hasn't made a million mistake.
Right.
And I think it's just like wallow in it for a minute if you need to.
If you need to cry, don't feel silly ever.
Like let, you know, let that like shame and regret leave your body.
But I just, my main.
thing when it comes to this is we have as people have got to make these mistakes so we don't make
them again. Like I just think that's the whole point of like of doing things so you learn to not do
them again. Like I look back on my relationships and I can't even, I'm horrified at some of the things
the way I acted or things I said. I'm like I, but I'm like that's so great because now I'll never do
that again when like the real guy comes along if he ever does. But I just think that's the main thing of like
you have to be thankful that you did this thing that you regretted so you'll never do it again,
you know?
For sure.
And I mean, you are exactly who you are because of every decision that you've made.
And I mean, I think that if you want to like evaluate yourself and say to yourself, like,
is this a pattern or is this a one-time thing?
One-time thing, spend an hour feeling bad about it, move on with your life.
If it's a pattern, okay, like, what am I doing and how I break this pattern?
And like, I think probably the most common email we get is like, I've slept a lot of people
and I'm ashamed of it.
And it's like, okay, well, that's a pattern.
You could stop that pattern right now.
You can also forgive yourself for what you did.
All right.
So you identified something that you did that you don't like.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Just stop it.
But I don't know.
I think sometimes women have trouble forgiving themselves.
And I do really strongly believe that it happened for this reason in this moment.
And you have got to forgive yourself and you've got to be thankful that you made the mistakes.
You don't make it again.
You were talking about a situation you had with your ex where you were like, what we called it.
What do you call it?
Rage and regret.
Like when you just flip the fuck out.
Yeah.
It's not.
really, it's not like a thing that I do very often. Like, I'm right. I think I would say like I had a pretty
volatile relationship, but I was like 21 years old or we would try all the time and like I would scream
at him and that's the last time I ever had a relationship like that. I'm not a big rage and regret
person. I sort of do the opposite, which I'm also not proud of, which is that I will avoid you and
avoid you and avoid you until I calm down because I know that I'm going to do those things. And I'd
rather you just let me alone until I chill out a little bit, which is also not the healthiest thing
in the world. But I think a lot of girls are a rage and regret. They have these psychotic outbursts,
and they're like, oh my God, I didn't mean it. And I'm sorry. And love me, please. And I think that happens
a lot. And it takes a long time to learn how to control your emotions. But yeah, in that particular
situation, this is somebody that I really loved. I was really in love with. And we were having a pretty
bad fight. And I flipped out. And then I left the house. And five days later, he broke up with me.
and for the longest time,
I beat myself up so bad about that moment.
I kept thinking to myself,
like, if you didn't do these things,
if you didn't say these things,
you didn't walk out the door and then flip out,
like, he wouldn't have left you.
And the truth is like,
in that moment,
I was just honest to what I wanted to do
and I was just being me
and I can't go back and change it
because, like, I did what I wanted to do
in that moment.
And that was honest to me.
And yeah, I guess I, like,
did a little bit of, like,
rage and regret,
but, like, how much you can beat yourself up for that?
He was, I mean,
he didn't leave me because of that fight.
Right.
Exactly. And I kind of feel the same way. Like I look back at a past relationship one in particular where there was just so much fighting. And I'm like, I don't want this guy back. It's not that. It's not like, but at times back then I did, you know, like the first time he broke up with me, I was just like couldn't. I was like on a loop of all the things I'd done. You know, and like he did terrible things too. But like the stuff that I did, I'm like, maybe I could have done this. Maybe I could have done this. And like couldn't sleep at night and was just sometimes it takes a minute. But like looking back and like,
God damn, like, I did what I felt in that moment.
He pushed me to these points.
And, like, I also have grown and learned so much.
Like, I'll never act like that again.
Like, it's just, I think you have to do things so you won't do him again.
Well, I think, unfortunately, like, you look back and you're like, oh, my God, I wish he had changed things, but that's over.
Yeah, totally.
We definitely get emails from girls that are like, we got an email from this girl.
It's one that stuck out to me in particular, and she was like, my boyfriend broke up with me.
And we were fighting all the time.
And he kept saying he was going to leave me, but I didn't think he ever would.
And then he left me.
I feel so blindsided by it.
It's like, why are you using the word blindsided?
You just answered your own question.
You were being an insane person.
You realize that.
But like that relationship's over.
And I think that like you got to let go of the regret of that relationship
and say the next one I'm going to be better.
There's nothing else you can do.
Right.
I think so.
I think we go through relationship after relationship after relationship
and fuck up along the way and our partner fucks up and this and that to like get to that
point of like you're this fully formed person that's fucked up so many times.
And I mean, we were talking about this before
of like, it truly does build a character.
It truly just makes you into a more complex person
when you've had like ups and downs
and peaks and valleys like in your life.
Oh, yeah.
I seek out friends that like,
I don't know that I seek out friends
that have made a lot of mistakes in their life,
but I find people that have really struggled
and have overcome things to be more dynamic.
And I think that that builds empathy in a person.
And that's what I really like in a partner
and that's what I really like in a friend
is somebody that like hasn't just
had it on Easy Street all the time. And, you know, I've never gone through, honestly, I've never
had a real problem in my life. I've gone through pain and distress, but I've never had, like, a
parent die. I've never been sick. I've never really lost an opportunity I really wanted, honestly.
But, you know, I've had bad things happening in my life. So I'm not going to say, like, you know,
I've had all these terrible things happen and a built character. But your fiancé loved you.
Yeah, that didn't feel very good. Thank you for bringing up that very painful memory for me.
I thought we were allowed to say that.
It reminds me, oh my God, you know what it reminds me of in Sex and the City when Charlotte's like,
my life is so perfect.
I feel like something bad's going to happen.
And Carrie goes, you shit your pants this year.
I think you're done.
I've shit my pants before.
It was after he left me.
So I wasn't done, apparently.
Also, if you guys want to hear Raina's pants shitting story, it is on Kailen Bristow's
Off the Vine episode with us.
The point is I've still fucked up a ton.
And I think that, like, at work with friends,
obviously with drinking or sleeping with somebody too soon.
And, like, every mistake I've ever made has led me to hear,
and I'm proud of it.
And I seek out other people that are like that as well.
And I just, I don't know that I vibe with people
that just, like, have been on easy street their whole life.
Yeah.
Because they lack empathy.
Right.
And, I mean, if you're feeling regretful
or having shame or something that you hurt somebody else,
like, that just means you have feelings.
So it's like a good thing, you know?
Like, it's the people that don't feel regret that you have to worry about.
So I'd like something you said earlier when we were discussing this topic of like it's never
too late to at least try to amend something or try to apologize.
As long as it's worth amending.
Yeah.
I'm somebody that like something like fester with me.
If I'm fighting with a friend, it like kills me.
Yeah.
Like I cannot think about other things.
It eats me to my core.
I'm fighting with like a family member or a friend.
And like I will just let it festered.
and I'll avoid it, and then it gets even worse because you're avoiding it.
So the person's upset and you're avoiding them, and it just gets, like, to be this bigger thing.
I've tried for a long time to just be a better person at, like, just addressing things sooner and, like, sucking out the poison.
Because all you do is just apologize and fall on your sword, and people will respect that so much more than, like, you avoiding them.
Right.
Well, and I think, I don't know.
Yeah, I think sooner is better, but, I mean, I also just think it's, like, never too late to, like, apologize.
Like, I don't know.
I had somebody say something to me the other day, a girlfriend of mine were cool, you know,
and she, like, apologized to me and she wanted to make amends on something that happened like years ago.
And I didn't feel like, oh, my God, stop, that's weird.
It was years ago.
I felt like, thanks.
This has obviously been bothering you for a long time, and I haven't been thinking about it,
but I appreciate it.
I think there's never a point in which people don't appreciate it.
I think the only scenario is, like, when a guy cheats on you and he comes back and he's like,
oh, I'm sorry.
It's like, shut the fuck.
I don't want to hear this. I don't care. Save your apology. I don't care.
Yeah. But other than that, like, I think there's like never a scenario where somebody hasn't come back to me, even years later and just been like, I did this thing and I feel really bad about it. And, like, I will always respect a person that did that's big enough to, like, fall on their sword and be like, I made a mistake.
Right. You know? Yeah. So I think, forgive yourself. And if it was something that's been a pattern, check your pattern. You know, like, I'm the first one to say, like, I used to drink too much. I used to get really low. And my mom, I was on when I was like in my 20s.
and my mom would be like, I'd be like, I'm just sad a lot and this and that. And she's like,
you drink every night. And I was like, that's not it, mom. She's like, look up alcohol. Like,
Google it. It's like a depressive. Like, what's happening is because of alcohol? And I was like,
you know, what do you know? Like, sure enough, you know? So when I have been in, when I'm,
maybe I'm out too many nights in a row, I just like take a detox and like figure what's out is going on.
I feel like that's what you did. You were like, you know what? I fucked up because of drinking.
I'm going to not drink for a week, get my shit together, and clear your head.
Yeah, I'm also just taking steps to make it a more long-term thing.
Like, I'm not saying I don't get, like, go out and get fucked up.
I do.
And I party and I have fun.
But, like, I don't know.
I'm old enough that, like, it's not even okay to, like, miss a work commitment.
If you can't just be like, oh, I was drunk and now I'm hung over.
And, like, I just didn't show up.
And, like, that was a...
I'm somebody that will beat myself up for a long time about it.
So I have to get better at letting it go.
But I can only let things go when I take steps to make them better.
And so I did that.
And I will always do that in my relationships.
I thought a lot about what I want the takeaway from this to be.
Yeah.
And like how do we like package this up and wrap it up?
Ooh, what do you got?
I just, like the message that I want people to take away from this,
it's like it's okay to be upset about things and it's also okay to forgive yourself.
You have to forgive yourself.
And like we've all made mistakes and there's nobody on earth that hasn't fucked up.
I haven't met that person.
Right.
And like I guess it's fine to have those days where like you are really mad at yourself.
But like, okay, identify what you're upset about.
Fix it.
Right. And like honestly, it's sometimes like I make a mistake and I'm so mad at myself and I'm like, well, maybe I made this mistake so I won't make it again when it really matters even more. You know what I mean?
Yeah. Or like you said like you made those in that relationship so that you could not make them in the next relationship.
Right. There's nothing that I sort of, to be honest, like, one of the things I really respect very little in a person is when they will like constantly complain to me about something. And whether that's what's happening in their relationship or their job or their friendships, they're just like upset all the time about something or they regret their behavior. I just can't stand people like.
just don't fix it.
Yeah.
Just take the steps and fix it.
Sure, for sure.
How many times do I have to listen to this?
Yeah, like I've done that.
I keep doing this.
I keep doing this.
Okay.
Well, let's talk about how I not do this.
Well, you've identified a pattern.
Any more.
Yeah.
I know.
When I got my like third DUI, I was like, oh, God.
How can I stop doing?
Identify the pattern.
Okay.
Okay.
Don't turn and drive.
What's about to happen is like so exciting.
I have been so excited about this.
Ashley had the best idea ever.
I mean, let's talk about it.
how it happened. Okay. So we were in Nashville and we always at the end of our live shows,
we asked the crowd to talk about there is this weird. So we send somebody out into, with a microphone.
If you guys were coming to our live shows, like get them ready. Yeah, because like nobody has
given us a bad one yet. The bar is high. They have been so solid. You guys, I, in Nashville,
this one of the girls, it was the most insane one ever. I like got up and like, I mean,
for dramatic effect, I got off the stage. I went back into the green room. I was like, I cannot. I
Cannot. It was shocking. But anyway, they're amazing. So this thing happened in Nashville.
How did you set it up? Here's what happened. I was talking about, is this weird in general?
Like, if anybody in the room didn't know the segment, most of them did, we're going to, Lev was with us,
we're going to send Lev out into the audience. And so actually, guys, let's just, we'll play the audio
for you. You want to? Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to, I'm going to, we're going to splice in the audio of how
this went down in Nashville. So we should email her back so you can date him if she doesn't want him.
I love him.
So should we just say,
we'll just tell you guys this,
this is top secret info.
We're going to do on an episode soon,
is this weird, where are they now?
And like, touch base with the bunyan girl.
They're like, we gotta know.
We're so excited.
We're going to email all of them back
and be like, so what's the deal?
We get more DMs about the bunyan email than anything.
Wait, is that?
Wait.
You guys still together.
You're like a celebrity to us
Today is here
Okay, we don't know if you
Got meet and greet tickets, but you have one now
So stay after the show
Oh my god
I can't believe Bunyan girls here
And Ashley was reading it to me and I was like half paying attention
I was trying to like give somebody an address to come find us
And I was like I don't know just tell him to fucking wear socks
I don't fucking know that
And then I realized like what she had just said to me
I was like pay attention
Okay wow
Oh my God
Should we just late
You guys, you know, hang out of us?
No.
That's incredible.
Please stay after we've got to talk to you.
Best, is this weird in existence?
Okay.
I got chills.
It was the best moment of any of our shows.
And also, this is the thing we get the most emails about, the most DMs and the jokes.
His Bunyan Girl.
If you guys didn't go back and listen to the episode, but you didn't listen to the episode,
basically what happens is this girl sent us this thing about how her man has, like, bunions,
and he walks around these bunion correctors and always, like, click, clacking on the hardwood.
And so we made a lot of jokes about him getting socks or her carpeting her apartment.
It was just, it was the best.
It was the best moment of the podcast thus far in the last eight months or whatever.
So anyways, so Ashley's big idea was like, okay, we should check in with these people
because like it was such an amazing moment in our lives.
We got to meet her.
We were like, okay, I wonder what like bats up girls do it.
We're like foot job girl.
And so Ashley, I was out the other night and Ashley took it upon herself to email all of these people.
So we present to you, is this?
weird, where are they now?
Oh my God, I'm so excited.
Oh.
And a lot of people were very generous and wrote us back.
Thank you for doing that.
We're still waiting on shit towel girl, but remember that was her friend, allegedly.
Yeah, allegedly.
If you're listening, girl, come on.
We need your update.
So, obviously, which one are we going to start with?
Bathtub girl.
Okay, so the girl who really changed our life was bathtub girl, who basically she sent us the first
email.
Oh, and she's weird.
We got to get her tickets for our new show.
Oh, we got to send her tickets?
She's getting tickets.
For sure.
She's on her comp list.
I told her she could have tickets, but the show was sold out.
I was like, we'll figure it out.
We'll talk later.
So now we have the second show, so she's in.
We only booked a second show for about-bats girl.
She sent us an email today, is this weird?
And if you guys missed that episode, I don't know what you guys are doing.
Whatever.
But she basically was dating this guy, and she's like, every morning he takes a bath and he has like a half-chub.
Yeah.
You had to be there.
It was very funny.
We talk about it a lot.
Anyways, so we have an update, and here it is.
Oh, no.
Because I haven't looked at any of these shows.
This is just as a bunch of a surprise to me, just Ashley.
I actually ended it shortly after I sent this DM,
since I wouldn't see him for weeks,
and he had some all-caps, weird tendencies.
He said he wanted his lifetime partner,
and his behavior didn't reflect this.
Oh,
Typical man. It's so crazy.
Weird.
Oh, they say one thing.
Like, I want to hang out with you and then they never text you again.
Anyways, I'm not mad.
He Snapchatted me a month later to ask to be friends with benefits.
Who asks?
Right.
What kind of person, like, types in an email.
A guy that bades in the morning.
You're right.
Psycho.
Nothing's a surprise with this motherfucker.
Since he wanted to enjoy his 20s, which, by the way, I understand, but she put in parentheses, he's 29.
Oh my God.
No, I forgot that.
That's amazing.
Get out of here.
What do you do?
I want to enjoy last year.
What happened the last nine years is you just didn't enjoy them?
You just didn't enjoy.
Get out of here.
What a fucker.
And apologize for leading me on.
Okay, well, at least he was honest.
I haven't seen him since July, but we occasionally send snaps.
Anyways, we want to thank her for changing our lives and also for the update on what happened
and for letting us roast this guy a little more.
I love this.
I want to enjoy my 20.
Get out of here.
I wouldn't enjoy the last 30 days of my 20s.
Okay.
So we're saving the best for last, but this is not it.
But so.
Oh my God.
What are we doing?
We didn't give an update on Bunyan Girl.
Oh.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
Shit.
It's hilarious.
Okay.
Let's pause for dramatic effect.
Okay.
So we talked to her after the show.
She's so cute.
And she said that she really had to end it when he asked if he could bring
a travel pair of Bunyan correctors
and keep them at her place.
Oh.
So keeping them at her place is where she drew the line.
Here's a deal.
It sounded to me like they aren't done,
but maybe like a Friends of Benefits
little fuck boy situation.
Okay, so Bunyan Girls updated.
Let's move on to
Sister Fucker Guy.
Ooh, I'm very excited about Sister Fucker.
I just have a lot of feelings
about this in general.
Right.
So we talked about this.
This was a girl that she was dating a guy
and saw a picture.
of him on his Instagram and was like, oh my God, he has a girlfriend because of how touchy and
flirty the pictures were.
The pictures were suggestive and there was an excessive amount.
Yeah.
Like one screenshot of the screen, there was like nine to ten photos of them together.
Right.
And it was a sister.
So she was a little weirded out.
So anyway, here's her update.
Well, we didn't get married after all.
It had nothing to do with his weird sister photos, although they were so weird.
He was just a little immature and going through some difficult career and life changes.
He had never been in a serious relationship for, red flag, and didn't know how to open up.
Ultimately, we both knew that he couldn't give me what I needed, so we decided to break things off.
We go to the same gym, unfortunately.
Girl, quit the gym.
So I do have to see him often, but we're friendly.
I met someone else right after we broke up, and he is amazing.
It couldn't be happier.
So she's with someone else.
You guys, I couldn't.
That was not enough for me.
Ashley, actually followed up.
I followed up.
I emailed her back.
I wasn't like, thanks, girl.
I was like, okay, but I still need more information.
So I was like, okay, sorry, thank you for that.
But did you ever meet the sister?
I had to know.
Oh, I'm so glad that you followed up.
She said I never ended up meeting her.
We live in SF and she lives out of state.
We had a trip planned to Mexico with a big group of his friends and his sister was supposed to be there,
but we broke up like five days before the trip.
Coincidence?
Because he didn't want to bring her on the trip with the sister.
But I'm pretty sure everyone was happy that we weren't stuck in the trip together.
And naturally all my friends said maybe he just wanted to be alone with the sister on the trip.
I guess we'll never know.
I think that, no, we know.
We know exactly what.
So he was about to go on a honeymoon with his sister.
Yeah.
He had to break up with his girlfriend.
How was he going to Instagram like a billion?
photos himself like a bikini
picks with his sister
with his girlfriend with him.
I mean, every time I'm with my brother and his wife
like she gets in the photos.
Because they're together, you know?
That is so what happened.
He was like, I cannot go on a bikini vacation
with my sister with this girl.
I got to break up with her.
A lot of people break up before like a big event.
Like before like a trip with your sister.
Before they fuck their sister.
Right.
Okay.
Rain is going to read the last one.
This one guys was
we answered it with Jared
and Jordana from You Up.
So the episode that we had with Jared and Jordana,
I think it was also,
I think it was a show,
do you fuck your co-workers episode?
This girl emailed us.
Sounds like she was on a break from college
and she was about to go back in the fall.
And her,
a guy that she had started dating wanted foot jobs.
Which we decided is like not the most egregious.
Yeah.
Fetish, also a good workout.
Right.
It was a new workout class.
We're going to put on class fast.
It's great for your abs.
Your obliques.
Your obliques.
Okay.
It doesn't feel like less cleanup than,
normal. I just want you to read it and then like the show's over because it's so incredible.
Okay, go.
She starts off with, I'd love to tell you, thanks for asking.
Oh, God, you guys are so great.
We just love you guys so much. We can't tell you enough how much we love you.
Anyways, footjob guy is now my boyfriend.
Oh, guys. We've been official for over a month now after six months of talking,
getting to know one another. I feel like for the first time in my dating career, I'm
finally with someone that makes me truly happy.
I think Ashley described it best in Is Love in the Cards episode when she said,
pick someone that doesn't make you feel like lingering anxiety in your gut.
She said, Ash is crying.
Ash, she's like, I can't boil all these things that I said.
She said to pick someone that feels like home.
Foot job guy feels like home to me.
Foot job guy feels like home to me.
I can't believe how sweet and special this is, even though it's so ridiculous.
I have yet to tell him, but I have.
love him.
Even though he had a weird desire to have my feet on his dick, which by the way, we did, and he
decided he didn't actually like it that much.
Back to good old-fashioned blowjobs.
Thank God.
I am like not okay.
I am so happy for these couple.
I have never let a fetish affect me in such like a profound, deep way.
Like I'm so moved by the story.
And as she's crying.
You guys, also this is such a good lesson.
Like, she didn't have to, we were like, oh my God,
what if you have to give foot jobs every night?
She didn't have to.
He was like crossed off the list.
I saw it in a porn once.
I wanted to try it.
Now they're normal.
She loves him.
Footjob guy feels like home.
Best sentence ever that we've ever gotten an email.
It's the most romantic, non-romantic sentence
I've ever heard in my life.
But I love it.
And I also think it's like a good message that like,
when you like somebody and they want to like try something that's sexually a little different
than what you're used to,
but you feel like you're in a safe space,
try it. Yeah. Like, I don't think this is so outside the box of like normalcy.
And she tried it. I mean, look, they're in love.
Maybe, am I not given enough foot jobs? Is that why I'm single?
You only got to give one. Apparently. Okay, well, I want to end it on that love story.
I hope that you guys enjoyed Ashley's where the Ashley stayed at home. I invited her to an amazing
event the other night. The tickets were thousands of dollars. It was New York Magazine's
taste of New York. It's like 50 of the best restaurants in New York City. Open bar. It's so fancy.
Ashley's like, no, you know, I'm just going to stay home and email. Fuck girl and sister fucker.
That sounds more important to me.
Best night of my life. Okay. Also, guys, we know that there are so many more amazing. Is this weird?
But a lot of them were from people like their exes are weird stuff. So it's like I had to go back.
I had to read everyone and find the ones that were current of people they were dating now,
you know, because a lot of them were like, my ex did this weird thing or my friend does this.
So I had to go back.
So just know that if you guys send us a really funny,
Is This Weird?
And it's somebody that you're currently dating.
We just keep us in the loop.
We always got to know.
We have so many questions.
But also keep sending us, Is This Weird?
Because we love them so much.
It's my favorite thing.
And if you're coming to our live shows on December 17th or December 18th,
have them ready.
Have them ready.
And definitely also flag them.
Like, if you're coming to the live show and you send us and is this weird,
definitely mention that you're coming to the show.
Yes.
Because honestly, when Bunyan Girl was enough,
I mean, best moment of the show.
Best moment of our career.
I said some funny things at that show, but that was the best moment of the show.
Also, Chicago, November 7th, same thing.

Yeah, we were number six this week, which was not good enough for Ashley's.
There's one that's above us.
I don't want to say it.
It is two girls.
I don't like it.
And I want to be ahead of it.
We should be the only girls at the top of those charts.
I don't want to see a picture of two girls unless it's me and Ashley in bed together.
