Look, if there's any episode to reflect on your life and say about that, it's this episode. You can be proud of your accomplishments. You should be. Yeah, and everybody should. Like, I'm trying, like, I want every girl to have this energy in 2019. Hi, guys. Hi, guys. Oh, it's my new, welcome back to another.

Oh, man. Welcome back to another episode of girls got to eat. Welcome back. And happy New Year. Well, I mean, tomorrow. If you're listening on Monday, it's New Year's Eve that this comes out. Oh, man. Still the New Year.

Still, yeah. Happy to the... I mean, whatever. Happy 2019. Happy New Year's Eve or New Year. Whenever you're listening to this, it's a new... It's a whole new world.

New beginnings. All new world. I hope you all have your sequin outfits picked out for tonight. Your champagne on ice. Yes. We are coming to you as we record live from Ashley's sprawling farm in Delaware. Yeah, coming to you from the Delaware H-Q. from one of the houses on the property.

I slept in three bedrooms last night in one of Ashley's houses, like the side piece house. This isn't even the nice house. This is the side piece house. Oh, my God. Okay. This is even our regular house. This is just our like side house.

That's, okay. Yeah, I don't know what to say. You make it sound like we're some like a millionaire family. We are not. We have a big farm. It's been in the family for years. Like it's my grandfather's farm that my parents live on now. and there's this big farmhouse, and then my parents build a house on the property as well.

So the farmhouse is the sidepiece house. So, of course, that's where we stayed. Cars everywhere. My dad's a car guy. Tons of cars. Every big car, small car, tractor, car, truck bed. It's tractors. Trucks everywhere.

No, this is great. I like seeing you in this element. You know, like, I mean, we didn't, like, grow up together and, like, we haven't been friends that many years. And so, like, I have not seen you in this element. I feel like you really get to know somebody by seeing like where they grew up. Yeah, for sure. Right.

So we met and I'm just like a New York City girl and then come to the farm, live the farm life. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't do any farm activities. Like we don't have animals on this farm. We took a walk yesterday. We take a walk on the farm with the dogs every day. We had to force Raina out in the house. She wore an outfit for it.

It was a Luke. It was a Luke. But yeah, we don't, I'm not out. I'm not like, you know. Like, do- Feed the cows or anything. Do farming, but like, make it fashion. It's called fashion.

I've ever heard of it? I have looked like shit for four days. All I've eaten is dip. I haven't done anything besides eat dip for four days, and I feel great. Speaking of the dips. So we talked about this on our holiday episodes, my family, every Christmas Eve, we develop this tradition. Not that, we haven't doing that long,

probably over the past five years where we have an appetizer contest. We have about a dozen people come over, friends and family, and everybody makes an appetizer, and then we have, we have like two winners. It's usually a hot appetizer and a cold appetizer winner this year.

It was just number one and two. And Raina texted me, I was like, hey, you have to make an appetizer. And she was like, you know what I make. I make Rottel and Koso. And she was like, you just heat the cheese up. And I'm like, yeah, she's like, that's the bar. And I was like, that's my bar.

Everybody else really tries. And you didn't know quite how hard people tried. You were like, well, just wait. I'm about to put my appetizer dick on the table. You texted me that. I was like, I have the best. advertising. I'm not even to measure anything. I'm just going to pick some stuff up that I think sounds good

together. Yes. Like I just assumed rotel cheese was like the bar. It was not. I mean, it's not like people were out here, like cooking gourmet meals, but people, people did some stuff. Let's talk about it. Let's be clear. Like, that's me being funny and lazy, and also it's delicious, but also I got zero votes. Like, I don't even vote for myself.

Like, I know what it is. I know what I'm bringing to the table. I'm a strong five. I know what I'm actually bringing to the table. I had like four bottles of wine with your dad. Who even knows what happened? You were trying to go drink for a drink for my dad. Literally, you said the funniest thing I ever heard last night.

Power move or Death Wish. Well, you were like going to drink to drink with Ashley's dad's psycho or power move. I was like, Psycho or Death Wish? Like, why would you do that? He's just like, every time I look at him, he's filling up another glass, but he never gets drunk. It's insane. He's drunk. He hides it.

He hides it really well. But let's talk about the appetizer party because you were like, oh, I'm guy got this. I got this. Yeah, and I was excited. Okay, so I decided the stuff that sounded good, I was going to make like a corn and bacon dip. I put leaks in it. It was just like sour cream and cream cheese and cheddar cheese. It was

delicious. It says so good. The corn. I measured nothing. I just bought a bunch of stuff. You just went it together. And I figured that was like pretty high end for what was going on. I asked Ashley's brother's girlfriend what she was making. She's like, I'm just going to make a dip. She made it sound so shitty. She was like

you know, there's like breadsticks or something like bread thing involved. I don't know. Whatever. I'll just do a thing. We looked over at her. She had made a Christmas tree. she had cut out the branches and twisted them so that the pastry was twirled with the dip. It was a beautiful Christmas tree. It was delicious. It was unbelievably aesthetically pleasing.

Like, I didn't know we were bringing Pinterest to the table. She brought Pinterest so hard. She's like, I'm just going to make a dip that I twist into fucking tree branches and then mold it into a tree and then brush it with like a garlic butter. Oh, I forgot about the herb butter that she was brushing on it. She just like put her dick on it. She just destroyed my day. She didn't even win.

She got to run her up. My dad won. He, like, did these stuffed jalapinos. I don't even know how it happened. He's the bartender. Yeah. But we were like, I can't piss off the bartender. My mom's friend brought over, like, I mean, again, not too tough to make, but like little mini eggos with the chick fillet on top, chicken waffles with like different sauces.

I mean, people went in this year. Somebody made a giant platter of like these beautifully laid out venison sausage meat. And my cousin Lindsay's, uh, fiancee, buck. Buck. Buck is hot. Buck is so hot. It's so crazy. He's such a sleeper.

It takes you a minute to realize he's hot. I mean, I had a couple of drinks and I'm looking at him and I'm like, he's buck hot. Buck is like sick. Like really, his body. His vibe is very magic Mike. Like it's very Tampa stripper. You know what I mean? Yeah.

But he showed up. He always does some crazy thing with some venison. And so we're not like a hunt and family, but I don't know. Maybe that's his vibe. So his was great. But my dad won, my brother's girlfriend with the spinach dip tree, got second. And then it's funny because the next day, Raina had like, she was like, I can't wait to give your family these gifts. She was like, everybody's going to cry.

It's going to be so amazing. So she got each of us the same gift. It was this beautiful pottery bar and frame? Creight and barrel. Craten barrel frame with a 8 by 10 picture that our photographer took of our family at the holiday show. So shout to Mike. our photographer took this picture of just the four of us after the show. It's a beautiful photo. And Raina framed it.

Gave to everybody was going to cry. It was so nice. Yeah, everybody was like super, like super, it was super heartfelt. And then Stephanie brought her gift to the table. Matt's girlfriend presents my family with a painting that she made. Raina was like, I framed this photo for you guys. She's like, I painted this. I painted. Your mom got up and nailed a nail into the wall.

wall and hung it on the wall. Your mom was like, let me change the decorum of this entire room for this painting that Stephanie just did. She put it up immediately. Immediately. Immediately. I don't understand. This girl just like waltzed in and like stole my whole weekend.

She's like 23. Right. You know that I've had, I have had a decade on this earth longer than she has to learn how to be thoughtful and think up ideas and she just destroyed me. She's like, gosh, this herb. butter, I'm going to brush on my Christmas tree full of dip. She's like, oh, I made a dip too. And she's like over a foot taller than you.

She is. She's a giant. She's six, too. She's beautiful. She played volleyball. This is so funny. It's very funny. Like, you're an adult.

You're very successful. It's just very funny to think about this at every turn. This girl's one up. She crushed me. The painting. I made a dip. She made a dip, sort of, into a Christmas tree. I thought I was like

You framed a picture She painted one I feel like she's like in my head Like she knew ahead of time what I was going to do And she's like make it better I'll make it better Oh my God She starts an Instagram account called One Hungry Christian

And just like crushes me She is like 500,000 followers overnight Verified Is she verified before me? Oh my God my stomach hurts She's the sweetest human on earth You know what I mean? Like, it's not some snarky bitch.

It's like the sweetest human. I'm getting started on next year's Christmas presents now. Yeah, yeah. Start painting. You sculpt our family. Like in clay. You get like a kiln. I'm going to build a third house on the property.

Building. You buy my dad at the 17th car. 18th car. And a brand new tractor. Wow. Anyways, also an update because we know that Christmas time is the number one day for the the mat, the thinly veiled you up text. Totally.

The holiday version. The holiday version. You up holiday version. Merry Christmas. Just thinking about you and your family. I'm sorry. I had a friend of mine, her ex, who like cheated on her, gave her an STD. Like this motherfucker, trash person had the audacity.

Still owes her money. Had the audacity to hit her with a Merry Christmas thinking about you and your family. Are you kidding me? Like, no shit you're thinking about me. My family's awesome. Right. I would be thinking about me too. don't text me.

It's so, it's so balzy. Think about it and then take that idea and put it in a box and throw it in the fucking ocean. Don't text me. With yourself.

Right. Maybe drowned yourself. I don't know. Trash person. We didn't get any. That's not entirely true. Oh, well, you talk to your one ex.

You guys are like buds. It's so weird. She shows me conversations between her and her ex. I'm like, is this just like your old friend, your old pal? It's so plutonic.

It's like, I literally, he's had a girlfriend for a long time and I always show Ashley a text message. I'm like, no new girlfriend would ever be threatened by the text messages between us. But they broke up. They broke up.

And when he told you, you were a drug and your response was incredible. It was really. I was proud of me. Like, I was pretty blacked out that night. He told you they broke up. He was also, I felt like he was trying to talk to you about it. I feel like he needed, not in like, whatever, this guy's not a bad guy. I think he was trying to talk to someone about it.

And, you know, he tried to talk to you and you, shut it down. So I were like, I don't care about this. Find someone else to talk to. talk to. I said that I didn't even meaner way. I said, well, that's your business and not mine. It is. Like, if you, if you still had feelings for your ex and they, I'm just trying to think, I'm trying to put myself in this situation. If you still had feelings for your ex, and they were trying to tell you why they broke up with their next girlfriend, like, I feel like if you had any emotional connection to the person, you'd like listen or you dig for more information, you were like,

I got to go. Call someone who cares. I mean, yeah, that's true. Right? That's like, how do you know that you're over somebody? They tell you that they just went through a breakup and you're like, so? You're like, I got something to do. Can we change? I don't care about this. I don't care. I'm busy.

I have a dip to eat. I have a dip to, yeah. To lose with. I had a picture to paint. Well, he did try though. He was like, I just feel like I was with somebody who was like really good. I like, I excused a lot of things because I thought she was good looking. I excused the fact that she was like kind of stuck up and yeah.

I was like, yeah. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, nobody. Nobody texted you. Yeah. But I mean, whatever. Like we're in our 30.

So like thinking about most of my exes, they're married and or engaged. And I don't know. The one that maybe would, he tried that last year. And I was like, stay the fuck away from me. You have a girlfriend. Like I'll, you know, don't make me come down there. But yeah, I think he knows better. And I think of it.

I was trying to tell Rain, I was thinking of a metaphor. I was trying to think of a metaphor earlier of like the guys that are going through their roll of ex, like texting their exes and just skip right over us because this podcast, they're like, oh, fuck no. Nope. Absolutely not. I was thinking about, so I was like, you know, you go into our refrigerator and it was like all this food and you're like, I'll eat that and that and that. And like there's like something in the back of the fridge.

It's like kind of suspect. And you're just like, I don't know that I want to get food poisoning. I'm that food poisoning. You don't want to text me. Like, yeah. Like I'm like picturing a bunch of shots lined up and it's just like the last one that made you sick. That's like you're like, I'll text this X. I'll text this X.

And you're like, I'm not taking that fireball shot. That fireball shot will ruin my life. Right. Absolutely not. Like, we're just, it's a risk. I think people just, like, know us better than that. Like, I'll just laugh at you. I would just let...

Like, if you texted me, I was thinking about you on Christmas, like, I would just light you up. And it's like, we just are... Have zero tolerance for bullshit. You know what I mean? Like, oh, you're thinking about me. You didn't think about me until today. Like, the number one holiday.

Like, just the fuck up. Right. Like, I'm out here making dips. I'm busy. I'm not going to come over here and fuck you. Or just, I mean, it's just, yeah. I don't... I mean, here's the deal.

I think sometimes, it's way different if it's like your hometown guy. That's totally fine. We've all been there. I used to say it late every Christmas. We did the same guy. Yeah, totally acceptable. Like there was some guy that I would hook up with and I came home and he hit me up on Christmas.

I'm like, what's up? Let's do this. But like, let's call it what it is. You know, like, he would be like, he lived across the street from where I always went for Christmas. And he'd be like, how was your Christmas dinner? I'd be like, I'll be over it in an hour. I know what this is. We don't need to talk.

Let me show you. I'll show you what's up. Yeah. But again, I still think it's this thing, this, like, gross thing that guys do. Or they're like, it's a holiday. Maybe I can, like, get back in there and just get on her mind. Right. It's nice.

They think they're being nice. It's like, they think if I say, hope you and your family are doing well. Also, it's 2018. Are we still out here like pretending? She did on me and gave me an STD and you owe me money. I almost said his name. My friend's ex. Like, but what are you thinking?

She sent me the screenshot and I was like, that's not who I think it is. Like, I was like, he would not. That fucking guy would not. dare. No, they all waited out for December 25th. They all waited out. They're like, she can't get mad at me this day. It's Jesus's day. I know. She can't get mad. It's so gross. Or when they hit you in your birthday, you're like, this is my day. You're really trying to ruin it. Right. Like this is what you think I want on my special day. Yeah, text me on my wedding day. Tell me you're still in love with me too. Fuck you. Fuck you. Asshole. But anyway.

So because it's New Year's, obviously the obvious topic for us was to talk about resolutions. And I was really interested because when I asked you about it, you said the same thing about how you function in terms of revolutions. This is going to be fun. Oh, God, this is going to be a long day. I'm sober. And you articulated how you feel the same way that I feel, which is that I don't really make resolutions ever.

I genuinely 365 days a year try to actually be better and think about how to like, I don't know, every morning I started juice cleanse. So clearly I try to be skinner. and I'm constantly self-evaluating. That doesn't mean I'm good all the time. That doesn't mean like I'm proud of myself and I'm always saying to myself,

how can I be a better daughter, sister, friend, how can I be better at my job, make more money. Yeah. Yeah, like every day. It's, don't just turn your life around because it's a new year. You know, I'm thinking back to like when I, like, went through a big weight loss thing.

Like it was in like March of 2012 or, you know, whatever. Like it wasn't because it's like, I'm just going to keep going until the new year and then start again. I do it a little bit more around my birthdays. I don't know. Like I think my birthday is like the year. Like I want to accomplish this when I'm 30 or whatever.

Like I remember that I was like I want to do stand up before I turn 30. Like I have milestones and they're more age related for me personally. I like that. That's smart. But yeah, I've heard of people. I mean, a lot of people do that stuff before you turn 30 before you turn 40, 40, whatever. But yeah, I just, I mean, I get it, but I don't let my life like that. Like I think it's nice to reflect on the year, think about things you might want to do differently.

But I'm also like, why didn't you do that before? Like, why don't, like, why are, like, why would you wait to improve your life or yourself or your relationships or whatever? Right. Like, it's 25 more days and I'll stop being a piece of it. I mean, I don't think it's ever too late to change your life. And, like, I've watched my parents do that. I've certainly done it.

It's never too late to be like, this is a problem and I'm going to change it. But I don't need, like, New Year's to do it. I think weight is like the number one. Totally. And usually, this year, not. I didn't gain any weight over the holidays. In the past, I'll usually gain a couple pounds over the holidays. So it's like, that's when you plan to lose it.

But it's the weight that you gained over the holidays. It's not like I'm going to change my body this year. It's just like I need to take it down a notch because holiday parties add up and you're drinking more and you're eating more. And so I feel like in the past I've usually started the new year with like, okay, I'm going to lose weight just the few pounds I gained in December or after Thanksgiving.

Not me. I'm a competitive eater 365 days of the year being a food blogger. Every day of my life I go to a restaurant and somebody presents me with 25 dishes. I'm like, I'll just have the salad and like a glass of water. We went out the other night. I was just going to get a hummus and like some chicken, bottle of champagne came out of the kitchen.

Every advertiser on the menu. Andrew was like, what is happening? I know if we went out with, we recorded, then we went to Ozatar with Andrew Collin and like, who doesn't even really drink. You weren't drinking because you were still kind of sick. They sent down a bottle with like an ice bucket. I think it was like a congratulations from the show.

Oh, it was really nice. It was really nice. We love them, obviously. The point is I 365 need to be like watching my weight. Like over Christmas, I don't eat that much more because every day of my life is Christmas. Yeah. Every day is a appetizer contest for you. I'm the only competitor, though, but you're the only competitor.

Yeah, I mean, but we wanted to do this episode and just kind of talk about different things. Some of the things that you guys have been wanting us to talk about, we usually stick to dating and relationships on this podcast, but you guys are always asking us, like, what about friendships and what about career stuff? And so we're going to get into some of that because, and we're just, this is going to be very, like, what energy you're bringing into the new year, big 2019 energy. you know, how to live your best life. Just with our, you know, we're not, we're not the authorities on life. Or do everything we said.

I don't know. You want to know how we're living. Here you go. I mean, I hope that I always bring the attitude of like, here's things I did wrong. And here's what I would have done different. And what I did right. You know, I mean, I did a lot of things right. But I'm saying, like, I look back on things.

And I'm like, I wasn't proud of that. And I would have done it differently. Here's how I do it differently today and things like that. Yeah. And then we're going to end with our. It takes me so out of it. 2018 senior superlatives. I'm so excited.

excited. I kind of can't wait. Well, we're going to divide this up into some categories. So I looked up what the top resolutions were. And it was the stuff I put on. So weight loss is number one. Money is number two. So like career goals, money. Right. And then I think, you know, people obviously evaluate like what is my romantic relationship like or lack thereof. And like what is my lifestyle slash do I have friends? Am I doing anything that I'm enjoyable? Is I find enjoyable? Are you like Ashley and you should move to New York? Ashley's answered out all these things is moved to New York Yeah, I'm just gonna say then You want to get thinner, moved to New York. Of course you did. I mean, I started with started with the breakup and then it was like,

moved to New York really solidified. Want to make more money? Moved to New York. Salaries are higher. Yeah, that's the end of the next. My whole life's amazing since I moved to New York. You want more friends, moved to New York.

Everybody lives here. Okay, but let's start with that. So do you like where you live? Should you move? And here's the only thing I'm going to say. I just want to say this. New York is not for everybody. Let's be very clear. But I will say that no hate to Atlanta. I love Atlanta. I always will. It will hold a special place of my heart. I live there for 11 years. When I land in New York, like when I go on vacation, when I go to different city, when I travel and I land in New York, I've like breathe this sigh of like, I'm home and I still like, you know, you still, you've been living here for 10 years. You take a picture of the skyline. Like I, when I land over it and when you're flying in, I'm like, this is my home and this is the place that makes me so I walk the streets of New York and I feel so like cheesely,

cheesily happy to live there. And I feel so lucky to live there. And I know it's my home. And it's like, I can't say I wish I moved there sooner because my life played out the way it was supposed to. But like I didn't feel like that in Atlanta. And I didn't feel like I was supposed to live there. And I mean, I had a whole breakdown where I was like, I'm not supposed to live here. And that's when, you know, really caused me to move to New York.

But again, you know, there's no time. You know, I'm not saying to pick up your pick up and move. But that's a feeling I think everyone should feel about where they live. It's where you live. I mean, I still feel that way. And like, you said, I've lived there for a decade. Like, I, every night when I, like, go over the bridge to Brooklyn, like, I film it. I'm just like, I think it's so beautiful. I'm always like, like, I still feel like that because I've only lived here for two years, but you still feel like that. And I, like, walk around and I still, like, I'll find a street. I've never been on before. And I'm just, like, very excited day to day.

I live in a place that fills me up. And I think that, like, it would be very hard to form meaningful relationships and find hobbies and be happy day to day if I wasn't living in a place that I liked. Right. But just to back up in general, like, I think, when I think about, like,

goals and resolutions and, like, how to attain things, like, you have to do things that are, this is so cheesy. Do you ever hear of smart goals? It's an acronym?

You've never heard of this. They talk about it in, like, business environments. You've never had a job. So I wouldn't get it. Yeah. But smart is an acronym, and it means,

it's, like, a good way to, like, say, like, is this goal, like, realistic? So is it specific? Is it measurable? Is it achievable? Is it relevant?

And is it time bound? So, like, what that means is, like, you can't just say, like, I'm going to lose weight. Like, that's not a goal. That's just, like, you have to say, like, I want to lose 10 pounds in 30 days. Like, can, like, is it something that you can achieve? Can you measure it? Is there the timeline? And I think that, like, people fail at resolutions all the time because they set these huge

crazy goals for themselves that are not, there's nowhere to measure them and there's no plan and there's no time frame. So, like, of course, you fail in three days. Yeah, I mean, well, let's divide it up, like, into categories, right? I have a little bit different stance on like weight loss. And just my life. I just like live my life day to day, trying to improve myself. And like when I, the two things that made me lose weight and get to like kind of where I was like so comfortable with my weight and I don't really have to diet and I don't have to worry about it was like I started drinking this stuff called chews.

I mean, whatever that was just I made a dietary change. I put this on my Instagram story. Message me if you want more info on it. That happened and then I flywheel came to Atlanta and I started doing a workout that I'd never done. I'd never done like super high intensity interval training. I just like ran. And so that changed my body immediately. And so these two kind of, and just outgrowing some bad food habits and things like that and just growing up and maturing.

But like my body was better at 30 than 20. Like you, I just made these changes and I found something that I really liked and was passionate about. And then it just fell into place. But to me, these are attainable goals. And like these are, like without doing that on purpose, you did make very specific calculated steps. You changed the way you eat. You changed your routine. Like you didn't just say to yourself, I don't like my body and I just want to lose weight.

Yeah. Because that would have been over in five seconds. Right. You actually changed your life. Yeah. Yeah, and that's the thing. Like, when it comes to that, it's diet and exercise. What are you doing?

Are you doing anything? Are you just not exercising eating McDonald's every day? You're not just going to change your body tomorrow. Like, start, just like baby steps. Go to Mexico. Get food poisoning. Do the rain a diet. Are you like me?

You just hope really hard that you lose weight. Then you go to Mexico. You lose weight. And I just think, I mean, whatever. I'm super passionate about fitness, but it took until like my late 20s to find something that I really loved. and now I just love all these workout classes and things like that. But before that, I was like, I'm a runner.

I run. And like, I didn't really like it that much. Like, it's just, I think finding something that you want to go to fitness-wise on that side of it. And then, I don't know, I could talk a day about my diet and things like that. That's not what this is about. But I think what you mean is right. It's like, be realistic about these goals. Yeah, I think weight loss is like, it's obviously the number one goal because, like,

personally for me, I don't know if it's all females, but for me, like, when I know that I've gained a bunch of weight, it's all I think about. Like it consumes me. It permeates into other things. Like I'll start getting dressed and then like everything I wear like doesn't look cute. And then I just get upset. I don't want to go out and that permeates into my social life. So like I understand like what a terrible feeling that is.

I used to live like that. My body image and my weight determined my happiness, whether I left the house, whether I felt like confident in a dating situation. Like I don't know. I really just figured it out at like 29 or 28. I think. Like it just, it took me years and years, like of yo-yo dieting and my weight fluctuating and things like that. I don't know. But you picked little things. And I think that that's like,

we'll talk about like our careers as well. Like when people were like, I want to change my career. It's like, well, you need to pick little things and you need to actually try to attain it. You picked something little like this choose thing that you drink every day. I've been drinking for seven years. It's just, also some people just don't understand diet stuff. Like, do you really want to learn? Like, don't read books on crash diets. Like read actual health books. Like, that has a ton of fiber in it. Most people don't get enough fiber. That's how I start my day.

Like, it makes me feel better. It's the most healthy thing you put in your body. I start most days with it. And I just, like, I outgrew something. I used to have such a sweet tooth. I don't care about sweets anymore. Like, you kind of grow up and outgrow some bad habits too. I feel like I vary, like, my body and my trajectory, like, of my life is, like,

very Chloe Kardashian. Like, she knows. That's how I used to look. We're the same height, like, when she was bigger. Like, I feel like that was my body type. And she's obviously, she's had surgeries and stuff. But now she's thin. and I'm not out here saying I'm the skinniest person

but I'm thin. Like I'm on the thinner side. I really love my body and it did not used to be like that. I used to be like definitely 15, 20 pounds heavier. But I like what you said about how like don't read crash diets, like read lifestyle change books and like little things. I don't drink soda. You know, like cut out these little things.

Like you do not have to overhaul your life tomorrow. It will never work. Right. Don't drink a bottle of wine like I do every day. Drink vodka or tequila. I love tequila so much. Like all this like really high sugar stuff. People, I don't like sweets, so like I don't suffer from this, but like people that eat like pancakes with chocolate and syrup for breakfast, you just had a cake.

Right. You had a cake for breakfast. Don't eat that. And sugar is the devil. It turns in a fat. No, I don't need to preach this to anybody. But like, if you're getting too much sugar, you're, you can't maintain your weight. And I think people sometimes like, I can't do this boutique fitness classes because they're too expensive.

They're not, class pass is not expensive. Like, it does not an ad for class pass. Like, I don't know what to do if I walk into a gym anymore. Like, I used to go to the gym and now. I can't even imagine what I would do if I walked into Equinox. That's just me. Plenty of people know what to do in a gym. I started doing the classes and they really work for me.

And I love Flywheel and Berries and Y7 Yoga and SLT and all these classes. And like the first month of class pass is like $19. Like find out, find what you like because that is what really changed my body was flywheel. I think a lot of people, it was really hard for me. Like when I went from working in restaurants to working at like a desk job essentially. essentially, like, I would be on my feet for 12 hours a day. I could eat, like, three cheeseburgers, and I wouldn't gain an ounce of weight. And all of a sudden, I'm just, like, sitting at a desk all day long.

And I had to make a huge lifestyle change. Whoa, yeah. And so, like, I think for people that are just, like, at their desk, I'm not, like, a fucking, I'm not a health expert scientist. But, like, I think just, like, read a book about, like, how to meal prep or cook something. Like, if you're sitting at your desk all day long, don't eat a cheeseburger for lunch. Right. And, like, if you need to move to a city where you walk more, like, that would.

move to New York. Yeah, of course. Get those steps in. 10,000 steps today. But yeah, I mean, fitness is not for everybody, but if you, like, you're that person that just has always joined a gym.

And, like, I'm telling you, that was my experience. And, like, the second I started getting to these workout classes, like, my body was like, bam. Like, it happened quick. Because you just, it's a different type of thing. It, like, shakes up your routine.

I think just, like, pick a goal, make it measurable and set a timeline for yourself. And, like, you don't have to start with these giant goals if I'm going to lose 50 pounds. Just start saying, yourself like I'm not going to drink wine every night. Yeah. I'm not going to eat a cookie every day. Soda. Are you drinking? I'm sorry if you're drinking soda. Like, and the little tips, I mean, I think I do have a ton of health knowledge. Again, I can't do not. I cannot speak on it like a pro. So

don't sue me. Less sugar, more fiber, more water. Like, that's it. I mean, fiber is so, so key. I think the thing that feels really insurmountable is job and like career and people like, I want to make more money. We're moving on. So we're moving on. Right? I feel like we wrap this up. Are we done? Yeah. They can listen to like a healthcare podcast after this.

They want to like learn more about their body. Yeah. I, I'm really passionate. I can speak on it all day. I'm not saying to DM me, but maybe shoot your shot. But don't DM me. I just like to make clear that I am the one that answers all the DMs. We can't stress this enough.

You guys are like, I know that Raina hates you. Why do you think I hate the DMs? Why do you think I hate the DMs? I answer some. Also, can we just for, you guys really didn't pick up on the heart thing. Let's say it again. Someone said the heart. My heart is the vibrating heart.

Someone said this today. That's the word to use. It's the vibrating one. It has the little quotes above it. The little quote things above it. Raina's is a heart inside of a heart. One thing. It's not the two.

It's not the double with the swirly around it. So all of you that wrote us back last week, like, oh my God, Ashley responded. Ashley didn't respond to any of you. I haven't responded. If you got the vibrating heart, that was me, bitches. Let's vibra. Actually, think of Ashley vibrator. Think of Raina double penetration.

inside of a heart, DP for Raina, vibrating heart, vibrator for Ashley. We're done here. We're not going to say it again, ladies. Just the way that our life works is that you stay up all night on Sunday. You edit the podcast, you make sure everything is great. And I wake up very early on Monday. And I clear the DMs. Raina, I go in there sometimes when the moment strikes, but Raina, it is more of her thing

to go through the DMs. And so it is very funny that some things that we've said along the way have made our listeners think that you hate DMs, because you've cleared them all. People are like, I know you're notorious for hating this. I hate it because I have to answer it. DMS that are like, Ashley, I know you'll respond. They'll like throw shade to you. I send them to Raina every time.

My favorite the other day was like, you know, I just really need meatball advice from Ashley. I know that Ashley's really into meatballs. I'm the food blogger, bitch. I'm a food blogger. I'm literally, I am the number six largest food Instagram account in the United States. States. Like outside of a publication, like food and wine magazine, I have almost 400,000 followers

for food. And I'm like, Ashley, about those meatballs. Career stuff. I think the thing, like career stuff and like lifestyle and things like, it just feels so insurmountable to so many people. And like it would feel like that to me, I think if I was just like, okay, I don't like what I'm doing

and I don't think I have any hobbies. And like, I just want to change my whole life and I don't even know what to do. Yeah. That to me, it feels so scary. For sure. And I'm not trying to do a like, if you want more, sign up and pay. But we did just do a full Patreon episode of Raina's and my total career path. We did it on Patreon because that's not what this podcast is about, but it is 45 minutes of my story from college to now and Raina's story from college to now. So again, that's out there on Patreon. If you want to hear like more

detailed of like step by step where we worked, what we did, all this kind of stuff. But, and some of the stuff might be a little repetitive there. So we apologize if it is. But I mean, I think somebody looks at stuff like we've done and they get overwhelmed and it's like we're probably older than you this took a long fucking time to get here we worked really hard and it also was just like it was like step by step like we were strategic about moves that we made and things like that but it was like it didn't happen overnight you know no and I think also like when we pivoted careers like we had a skill set that had like built towards that for so long I didn't like I get a lot of emails that are like how did you I want to get into food blogging like how did you do a do you any tips

It's like I could write a book about all the things I tried and tried and tried and all the ways I had to pivot and change and all the things I was already good at before I started that. Like I got into food blogging because I worked in restaurants my whole life. I worked for, I think arguably the best restaurateur in the United States, Danny Meyer. I went to culinary school. All I did was cook. And I liked photography. And I also like entered the market at a time where like this didn't really exist.

Right. So I mean all of those things. I don't have any advice for you. Like, if you want to start any new job, like, are you doing it better than other people? Are you the first person to do it? If the answer is no, then don't do it. Well, the advice is do what you enjoy and do what you love and, like, it will work itself out. Like, Broseby Basic, my Instagram account that, like, until this podcast was really my main thing and was really my main source of income.

And it still is, and it's super successful. And it did happen. It blew up overnight. But it was like I had already been creating viral content. I was doing comedy. I've been a writer since I was a kid. Like I had a blog. All these things kind of led me to this like thing that really took off.

And it was this like super viral thing that I capitalized on. And it's like that I was already in that space. It was already in the viral space. I was already in the Instagram comedy space like that. So that's like the thing that hit. You know? And the same with you. You're like, oh, wait, I love food.

I love photography. What's this Instagram? Like it was like it all kind of came together. And I just think you have to do something every day or every day is a little extreme. But like constantly do something that's moving you. forward. Like, whether it's just, like, sending your resume out, it's like asking someone that's in a field to make meet you for coffee. I don't say, can I pick your brain? We hate that. But, like, trying to, like, meet somebody that's doing something that you respect and look up to, whether it's like, if you want to do

comedy, you're, like, writing a joke or you're going to an open mic or you're, like, just writing or journaling. You attend a seminar. I remember seeing Ariana Huffington speak one time, and it was, like, really pretty groundbreaking, inspirational for me. Like, finding the creative outlet, like, do you have a passion for styling people? Do you have a passion for decorating? Start with a friend. Do you love, like, dressing people and telling people how to shop? Like, I have a friend in Atlanta, Lily and Charles. She's an incredible stylist. Like, she probably started just with friends and family members, you know? Like, I have a friend that's an amazing decorator. She started with friends, doing it for free. Like, she just needed the creative outlet and now it's

turned into her career. And, like, I think things like that, like, if you're doing something that you hate, stop doing it tomorrow. You know, like, I'm not saying walking and quit your job. Like, make sure you have, like, if something figured out, you're not on the streets. But, like, you can never get to where you want to be if you're doing something you hate. It's going to fall into your lap. You and I were doing stuff that led us here for years and years and years. Right. And I also think that like they were very smart, calculated risks and we had financial resources to fall back on. So like when I started One Hungry Jew, I was working, I was working a coupon for a little bit, but mostly it was when I worked at Amazon for a full year. And like I worked

all day at Amazon. I went out seven nights a week to events. I was meeting every person I could. I was getting as much content as I could. I was making $0 from One Hungry Jew. I didn't know if I could make money or not. But I had a source of income. And it took about a year, and it wasn't until somebody said to me, and I will never forget this, Dana Cowan. She was the editor-in-chief of Food and Wine magazine for like 20 years. I was sort of telling her about how I was at Amazon, and I was also doing One Hungry Jew,

and I was just killing myself to do both things. And she said, it sort of sounds like if you're doing two things and you're doing neither of them well. And so, like, pick a lane and just do it. So, like, if you want to be in this business world at Amazon, then you have to stop the other thing. And so I just decided that, like, I was going to do One Hungry Jew full time.

but like I didn't just like walk out of my job. I made sure that I had enough money in the bank. Then I thought to myself like, how do I, okay, I'm not just going to like be a food blogger and like just hope that it turns out well. So I said to myself like, what are all the things I need to do? And so I emailed every PR and advertising agency in the United States. Everybody I could get my hands on. And I said, this is who I am and this is my business and this is what I do. This is how I think I can be an ad an asset to you. And that's how I got all the ads that I got for like two years. I just met people. I networked and I invited people out for coffee

and I just got myself in front of all these people. I didn't say to myself, I'm going to be a food blogger and just hope that people come to me. Right. Oh, for sure. And I think that I want to shout out Leah, our intern, your intern, more so,

that her approach to Raina was, here is what I can do for you. Here's what makes me valuable. Like, again, this is not like a career advice podcast, but that's what set her apart from all the other people that were emailing, being like, can I intern for you? I love to eat.

I want to help you eat. Right. It was just like, here's, she was like, here's what I bring to the table. And you were like, okay, yeah, you do. And, like, she sent her portfolio and stuff like that. I mean, I just, I think I also just want to make it clear. Like, I want to make it very clear. We make jokes about not having real, again, you can go on the Patreon.

You can hear our entire career path. But we make a lot of jokes of like, not having jobs. And like, A, we work really hard now. We work real hard. I have busted my ass so hard for so many years. 2015 was the first year where I felt like I could breathe and, like, enjoy my life. and not just like be working until 4 in the morning and like trying to like make money

and have friends too and relationships and things like that. Like there were years when I was so broke and I was missing events because I had deadlines and things like that where I like worked my ass off to get here and I think you did too. And it's just like we can, I just want people to know that because we joke a lot about like oh like we don't say we're lazy but we live this lux life.

It's like it took us. It took a lot of hard work and bloods and tears to like get here. It did. But I've always been on the like work smart not hard. the same way. Yeah. You know, I just, I, I've never needed to be in an office all day long. Like, when I was at Groupon, I was at a tech startup that Groupon purchased for three years.

And, like, I probably worked pretty much the least of anybody. And I crushed people. And that's the thing, too. Like, yeah, like, what are you, like, is there a way to do this better and do it more strategic? People want to make a change and they're sitting at their desk and they're like, how can I change this and how can I do what this person does? It's like, what are you doing? Like, what are you doing?

Like, to change this? Are you just sitting there and thinking about it? Like do something, do anything. Do you want to do this thing? Do you want to start an Etsy store? Do you need to go do an open mic? Do you need to go, like, just do something. I swear, if you just make strides daily, weekly, whatever it is, pushing towards some

other goal and some other passion, like, it will work itself out. Right. But I think that again, like, it's scary to be like, I want to change my whole life and I don't know how to do it. And that's why I think I get emails and you probably do too, being like, how did you start this and grows this? It's like, I don't know. It took me four years.

Like, I can't give you a recipe, but like do one thing to do. day to change it. Just one. One little thing. If you, if you want to write jokes, go to an open mic today. Just go do it, right? One joke. Or take, you want to become a chef? Take a cooking class. One cooking class. Yeah. Like, I have a friend right now, and she's, she's super successful, but she just doesn't feel creatively stimulated her job. So she, like, asked one of other friends, like, you bought a new house. Can I help you decorate it? You know what I mean? Because she's like, I just need something to, like, get my creative juices flowing. And, you know, we talked about this a lot in the episode with Lindsay Metzler from we met at Acme, just like finding your passions. And like, you know, I realized what I was

going through a terrible breakup, how much I felt good and did enjoy talking about relationships, analyzing relationships, like reflecting, analyzing my own, giving relationship advice. Like, this all sort of happened, like, when I was going through all that. And that's when I, like, really realized I want to start a podcast about dating and relationships. Like, this is a dream that kind of happened for me in, like, in 2017. And then, you know, I've said this before. I was going to start with a guy friend of mine. It didn't feel right. And then, you know, I met Raina and like, knew she was the perfect person to do it. And I asked her to do it. But like, I probably had, I remember doing a reading with Kelly in June of 2017. I was like, I want to start a podcast. I wanted

to be about dating and relationships. We didn't start until February. So that's eight months. You know, like, I had it in my head. I figured out what needed to happen. I met the right person to do it with. And that's the thing. I think people get overwhelmed. They're like, well, I got to do it tomorrow. It's like, you don't. Just work towards it. Right. It's because I never think, we did start talking about this a really long time before we launched it. We started talking about December and launched in February. But I had it in my head for like six months prior. And I think you and I were really like hell bent on making sure that we had like a website and promo photos and a real game plan. But like if you want to start a podcast, just sign up for a podcast network and buy a mic. That's it.

Start a podcast. You don't have to do what me and Ashley did. But like I don't know. I just think that like it's so scary and overwhelming to be like, I don't like what I do every day. Like I don't like where I go spend my entire day. Like, I can't, I was so unhappy at Amazon. Like, every single day of my life, I was miserable. I hated the people I was around. I hated the work I was doing. I didn't like the vibe of the company.

I just didn't fit in at all. Yeah. Like, it just was not the environment that I needed to be in. And, like, thank God I had one hungry Jew, but, like, I don't know if I had nothing else to fall back on. Like, that would have really eaten me. It was a terrible year in my life. Right.

When I had my job in PR that was full blown, like nine to five and events at night, I mean, took, like, dominated my whole whole. life, like a real PR job does, I had a blog on the side. And it was like, it was not my main blog. It wasn't witty and pretty. It was another one. And I needed to do this and I prioritized it. And there was nights when I would get home at 8 o'clock at night from an event or from my PR job and still blog. I don't know. I think people today are like younger 20-somethings today. They are like super dynamic and smart and they work really hard. But like some people also don't want to. And sometimes it's like you need to start a side hustle when you have a full-time job. You know what I mean?

I didn't ever monetize that, but it started me on a trajectory of, like, blogging, writing, and I was doing it while I had a full-time job. And, like, the same with you. Like, sometimes it takes that I feel like I don't have the time for this, but I'm going to, like, start it anyway because it's, like, something that you feel passionate about. And then it doesn't feel like work. Like, when I was blogging, it didn't feel like an obligation. It was, like, fun and funny. You know what I mean? Yeah. When I was doing One Hungry Jew at the same time as Amazon, I was going out every single night. Like, my life really suffered. I was not dating. All of my personal relationships were not as good as they should be because you're

killing yourself to like run around and get content for this thing you're not even getting paid for. But like I loved it. I didn't like think it was terrible. But yeah, it was a risk and I just think that like people. I love that you said that. It's like I didn't have time to date but sometimes or I were do anything else. But it's like look what happened now. And now like you get to lay back and relax. Hang out. Do this podcast. So I just, I mean, I like what you said about how like, you know, just pick a hobby. Just do anything. If you don't like what you're doing, like there's a million ways to make money in this world. So like if you don't like what you're doing, then today, go do something else. Right. And like another thing. I mean, I know that sacrifices might

happen along the way. Like I have a friend that's going back to school because she worked in marketing for years and now she wants to do art therapy. And she's like in school and she's like, I might have to move out of my apartment. She's like, I might have to be 32 years old and have a roommate. But like that's the sacrifice I have to make at this moment to like do this thing and be back in school and not have income coming in. And I just think it's like your life can shift and like there's no set path and you can change it any moment, but just like, just don't sit at a job and hate it and just complain. I have a real hard time listening to people complain about jobs and relationships that they refuse to fix. And I don't have a lot of like sympathy or empathy for it because I'm not

the kind of person that's going to stay in those situations to be miserable. And so like, yes, I understand like a marriage is hard to leave and a career is hard to quit. So I'm not saying like it's so easy, but like, I mean, I have friends that have complained to me about their same job for seven years. It's like, or like their toxic relationship or like whatever it is. Right.

Don't be with that toxic person. I know it's easier said than done. Of course. But like, I don't know, after a couple years, maybe you change it. Right.

Right. Yeah. Okay, well, that brings us into relationships. Okay, here's what I want to talk about. Here's what I want to do. Our relationship.

Our relationship. I want to, I want you to say your current mood on relationships. And I'm going to say mine. Like in this moment, the last day of the year, how do you feel

about what you want, how you feel, are you looking? What are you, what's your, what's your, what's your big 2019 energy? I mean, I feel today the same way I've felt for a long time, probably like six or eight months, that like I feel really fulfilled and really happy in all aspects of my life outside of being a relationship. I'm just not in one. But like, I think that all of my friendships have gotten better this year. I think my relationship with both of my parents and my brother and my sister-in-law is super

strong. Yeah. I'm so proud of what we've built. And the romantic relationship bucket is not something I've checked off the list right now, but I'm just, I'm still in the same place where I was the last six months, but like I'm open to it. Like my arms are open to it. I would love to be in love.

That'd be great. But like, it's not a priority for me. Yeah. And I would, if I met somebody that I liked, I would love to see where, I mean, you see me meet guys I like all the time. And I see where it goes and when it doesn't go anywhere, I don't care. Right. And I very recently had somebody that I thought I really liked and we were talking a lot.

and he did something like really not nice to me. And I was just like, okay, if that's how you want to behave, then that's on you. Right. I'm really proud of myself. I sold out the Grand University Theater with my business partner two nights in a row. So like I feel really proud of myself. And so like if you don't want that, if you think that that's a nice way to behave towards me, then like, fine, bye.

Right. Who do you think you're treating like this? I know. So anyways, into 2019, I would love to be in love and find somebody and that'd be great, but I just don't, it's not my main source of happiness. So I'll find happiness elsewhere if I don't have that. Right. I mean, I feel the same way.

Clearly we know how each other feels. We talk all day every day. But I have this visual and I know it's like probably going to sound really cheesy, but I keep thinking about it and how to vocalize it. And like I feel like I'm in this like glass case or like snow globe or something. And I'm like in there and I'm surrounded and protected by all these people that I love and that love me back and that want to protect me and support me. see me happy and it's like so tight like it's like so good like I'm so happy like I could cry every

single day I feel like and you do it took me so long to get here and I am like have never felt more happy and fulfilled in my entire life than right now and I the thought of someone coming in and like breaking it like breaking the glass and like shattering it and like fucking it up in any way I'm like you don't get to do that and like I felt like that for a while and then especially after our shows at the Gramercy like what we were able to accomplish and like the people that were there for us and surrounding us. Like, Lev and Andrew, and like our family that are the friends

to become family and our real family and all of our friends that were there, I'm like, this is so amazing. And I don't care about some fucking guy on an app that has no idea who I am, has no idea what I've accomplished, and wants to like make me feel less than or wants to bail on a date or like,

fuck you. I just don't care anymore. Like, I feel like everything is so good. And like someone doesn't get to come in and even upset me in like the smallest way. And this isn't to say that I'm going to stop dating. If someone comes along and they think I'm as worthy as I think I am and they don't want to disappoint me and they want to prioritize me and do nice things.

Like I'm not against it. This is not like a fuck men thing. This is just like I am so happy to be in this place that I feel so fulfilled with every other relationship in my life. Like you just said, like I've never felt more loved. That sounds so cheesy. I'm like single as fuck. I've never felt more loved by like just everybody in my life.

And I'm really, I'm happy that you feel like that. And I think that that's what I wish for everybody that. I mean, you don't have to sell out the Gramsie Theater to feel like that. Like, you know, whether you're in a relationship or single, like what I wish for anybody is to feel like everybody in our circle is just like really uplifting them and making them feel good. And like, if there are people in that circle, like, that don't make you feel like that, whether it's a toxic relationship with a friend or a boyfriend, like,

then get, it's New Year's, get rid of them. Right. Like, I don't know. I just, I'm like, someone comes along and they don't disappoint me. And I'll entertain the idea. It says it's not that. I'm just like, man, I'm so happy. And, like, yeah, everyone is so deserving of that.

Like, every woman and every person is deserving of feeling fulfilled, not by a partner, like a romantic partner. And, like, everyone should know their worth and, like, wait for somebody that knows their worth as well and treats them accordingly. I just like, I like that you said, like, who are you to make me feel like this? It's like, I feel like especially on dating apps, guys, like, open up the conversation with like, hey, do you want to come suck my dick? Or, like, somebody will do with something that's even more insidious to me,

which is to talk to you. and talk to you and talk to you and set up a date with you. Yeah. And then pull the, you know, Ashley, you're going to hate me. But it's like, who are you to do this to me? Yeah, this guy, like, he asked me out, like three, he asked me out three times. He just kept asking me out. And I wasn't trying to dodge him.

I was just genuinely busy, finally set up a date, canceled the day of, and was like, oh, you're going to hate me, but I'm sick, never heard from him again. Like, what is the point of this? And I think that was his breaking point because it was like, that happened. And then I was like, also look at what I've done. Like, it just, I mean, I don't care if this comes. across is full of myself. I am so proud of myself and like what I've accomplished and how we got here and how hard we work. And I'm just like, who do you think you are? I'm fucking awesome.

Don't you think you're going to cancel on me? I'm serious? Look, if there's any episode to reflect on your life and say about that, it's this episode. You can be proud of your accomplishments. You should be. Yeah, and everybody should. Like, I'm trying, like, I want every girl to have this energy in 2019. I think so too. And I just think Like, there are people out there that are just trying to, like, I'm not going to get into what this guy did to me last week. It was really not nice. And it was like, I don't know, I think he was trying to like big league me somehow.

Yeah, it was like, it was like kind of like weirdly, like publicly humiliating in a way. Yeah. Like, I mean, not purposely, but like you felt humiliated. Yes, I felt really shitty. And this is somebody who had been like talking to me daily. And like talking to me about like his feelings and how depressed he was about different shit and how he's doing creatively. And like, he just like, yeah, like try to.

embarrassed me in public basically. It was like being in middle school. It's like the guy wants to have like a secret relationship with you and then you see, you see him out like at lunch at the cafeteria and he like doesn't even look at you. It's stupid. That's how I felt like that. And it was just, I don't know, I walked. Ashley was like, I can't believe you're not more mad about this.

Like I would be so mad. And I reflected about why I wasn't so mad just because the rest of my life is good. And I just don't care. Like I just feel like I don't know who you think you are to like do this to me. But like I just and then the next day I just muted him on Instagram story. and Instagram, whatever, and I haven't really thought about it all week, and I feel fine. I just feel like that's how you want to behave. You showed me who you were.

Right. And that's cool. And I will say, I mean, the busier I am, the less, I can't even, I don't have time to think about guys. Like, it's when you're, like, the only time I ever get upset about, like, guys and things like that, not even, like, my whole life. Or, like, when you don't have anything else to do, when you're, like, a little hungover, you're, like, at home, you know, you're just like, I wish I had somebody here.

Like, when you stay busy and you enjoy your career and you enjoy your friends and your family and your hobbies and passions. It doesn't matter as much. You know, like, we can all still deal with heartbreak and we all still get shit on and we can be upset. But, like, it doesn't affect you as much when the rest of your life is so good. Yeah, I think we hammer this message home like a lot. We say this stuff a lot. But, you know, maybe your goal really is in 2019 to get engaged or to find somebody here in love with. And that's fine, too. That's great. I think that you got to also take, like, that can't be your goal. Your goal can't be I'm going to get engaged this year. Your goal should be I'm going to go on one date that I really enjoy. And I'm going to find people I really

like, and I'm going to go on a couple dates that I really enjoy. And like, start small. Don't put these, like, huge big pressures on yourself to like, you know, find somebody who's amazing. Because like, that's not fair to project onto somebody else either. Right. And like, just start small. Go, I don't know, go set up five online dating dates. Well, and, you know, we've talked about this. We did a whole episode of Me and the Men in the Wild. I liked what matchmaker Maria said about men that you really like and respect and like their relationships and just tagging along with them. That's how she met her husband. Yeah. Like things like that are great. Do you have a guy friend that's married that you just tell him and be like, hey, I'm really trying to find somebody.

Can I go with you to this bar? Like, whatever. Like, we've done tons of dating tactics. Utilize them. Write them down. Like, I don't really want to go on this dumb date, but I am trying to find somebody this year, so I'm going to go. You know, like those kind of things. Yeah.

I guess not everybody has to be so fulfilled career-wise. Like, a lot of my girlfriends, their goal in life is to be a wife and a mom. And there's nothing wrong with that's not my goal in life. But, like, that's some people's goal in life. That's your goal. then like go start doing these things. Oh, absolutely. Like, that's the thing.

But again, I think, you know, we're reflected on our year, if you don't like this episode turned off. But, like, I wanted to talk about, like, how, where we stand right now. And, like, this doesn't mean we're not dating, let's be clear. Like, we're still going to have plenty to talk about, you know. I have tons of boys to talk about. Yeah, like, but, I mean, that's my vibe right now.

And, like, knowing how the world works, that's probably when I'm going to meet somebody. You know what I mean? I was thinking that the other day. I was like, that's when people walk into your life. I like, every time I resolve to like never date again where I'm just like, I don't care about this. That's when I meet somebody every single time. And just, you know, I love that.

This was last year's meme was like, you know, obviously exes are still canceled guys. Like we did a meme. We just post a meme. Like when you take the trash out, you don't go check to see how it's doing, you know. But I love it. I think it was last year. I think it was early 2018 was the we're not drunk calling our exes anymore. We're out here drunk calling our girlfriends and telling us how proud we are of them.

And I love that so much. And I remember if that meme came out. and it went viral and like Jenny Jones called me one night. It was wasted and was just like, I'm so proud of you. And I'm like, that felt nice. Like I was like, I do like this. So like I love that. Like just like, you're the random text.

I mean, Shoshi. Shoshi every day. You can always count on Shoshi for like, I'm so proud of you. I love you so much. It means the world. Do that more with your girlfriend. Do you want to text your stupid ex? Text your girlfriend.

Tell her how proud you are of her. Right? I really don't like that. I forgot to text. She doesn't care. She sent me the sweetest text. I didn't even respond and I'm out of her. I have a friend, like my friend, Lillian Atlanta, she's a stylist.

Like, she'll do that from time to time. And I don't think she's doing it to not text a guy. But like, do that if you need to. If you're like, I really miss so-and-so, text your girlfriend. I text my brother, I love you. Tell you, I miss her. I tell him, I love you and I'm proud of you all the time. Yeah.

Just tell them proud of them. Like brighten someone else's day, you know? Yeah, fuck your ex. Don't text your ex. Text your friends. Drunk call your girlfriends. Okay, I think we also, speaking of friends. I think we get a lot of messages about talking.

toxic friendships. And like, I think this is a very good time of the year to stop being friends with those people. To cut the cord. Yes. Have you broken up with a friend? Have you had to, like, verbally break up with a friend? I've had a couple of friend breakups. One, like, this girlfriend of mine, we've been friends for 12 years. Like I'm not, I mean, we were like almost, we were really close. But we'd stop being as close recently because she got married, had a bunch of kids and moved to the suburbs. She, like, attacked me on Facebook one time. If you're listening to, like, my friends know, because we have made jokes about it. She just, like, came at me one day.

And I was like, this is gross. And she never apologized. It was so crazy. She was, like, arguing with people in the comments, like, coming at me and insulting me. Like, on Facebook, I'm like, oh, my God. Like, what are you doing? You're a mother. Like, I made some joke.

It was a joke. I made some joke about people being racist, like comparing Obama to Trump. Whatever it was. It was a joke. And she came in so hot and never apologized. Like, I didn't do it. That wasn't like a me being the bigger person situation. that was like, you detacked me out of nowhere.

And so I was like, I don't miss, I don't miss her at all. You know, like for 12 years of friendship, I was like, I don't want a person like that in my life. Like, you know, it's just, if she came today and was like, I'm so sorry I was going through a hard time. I'd be like, that's we're good, but we're never going to be friends again. And I think if you know if a friendship is toxic, but like, I also do think friendships have been flow. And I've said this before.

Like, I think you can go through times with friends where you're like, oh, this person's just pissing me off. And I think they can still, like, get better. Like, you've had some, you've had a situation where it's like, you had a friend that now you guys are closer than you were before. Like, maybe she was just going through some shit. You know, maybe she was like a little bit of jealous of what you had going on and things were a little strained.

And now they're great again. Like, I think those things can happen. And I think you give people second chances and things like that. But, you know, being verbally attacked and no apologies a little different. But I think sometimes you feel tension with a friend. And like it can, doesn't have to, that doesn't mean it's the end of the friendship. Yeah. Well, I think just there's a difference between feeling like tension and feeling like you're

growing apart and feeling like somebody is a toxic person. Every time I'm around this person, something bad happens. Every time they text or call me, I feel like I'm in trouble for something. Yeah. Yeah. I've had a lot of friends for a very long time. Like I, my best friend in New York, I've been friends with for 10 years, but I have a lot of really, really close friends from high school, from growing up, whatever. And like, yeah, I've ebbed and flowed with them. There's been times when, like, my friends were in really serious relationships

and were not really great friends to me because they just weren't available. But, like, they come around, people grow up, people change. Like, is it a really toxic relationship? And I've had two relationships. I've verbally had to break up with somebody once. You have. And I was, her name was Casey. We were friends for, like, same with you, like, 11 years.

We were really close. And, like, she got me through a lot of really tough times. And, like, when my fiance and I broke up, she came to my house and packed all of his things and, like, took it to the curb. Like, she was that friend. But, like, she also would shoplift when I was with her. And, like, there was just, I mean, there was always a situation. She was always that friend that, like, everybody else hated.

And everybody had a problem with. And I was like, but she does all these. good things for me and it's like well there's all these really toxic situations and like one day we just had drifted apart and she was like I just feel like you're not talking to me and I know it wasn't nice but I sat down and made a list

I was like here are all the things you have done that made me incredibly uncomfortable and I'm sorry I wish you the best I really do but like I cannot be friends with you because of this and I'm sorry like there was stuff with drugs there was stuff with shoplifting I mean this wasn't like me being like petty she's like a liability very actionable like terrible things and her husband

and was a terrible person, whatever. I don't care. She's listening to this or not. She, yeah, I mean, something bad always happened when I was with her. Right. And she, and she wrote me back, and she was just like, fuck you and you're a bitch. And all she could do was, like, hurl superlatives at me and swear at me. And, like, I sat back and I was like, you know what?

After like 11 years of friendship with somebody, if the worst thing they can say to me was that I'm a bitch, then I feel fine. Yep, there's nothing they can even cite that you've done wrong. And I want to piggyback off that with what I was saying about the friend that I broke up with. do you were friends with her for 11 years? I was friends with this girl for 12 years. A day doesn't go by that I miss her as a friend.

You can break up with friends after so many years and it's okay. I think sometimes I love that your quote is like just because you have a past with somebody doesn't mean you have a future. And I think that like sometimes friendships run their course. Whether it's that, that's extreme. She was like doing illegal stuff. Whether it's something politically fucked you guys up. Friendships I think just run their course sometimes.

Like you can be friends with somebody for over a decade and they cannot be a friend anymore and it's okay. Yeah. And you have a million other new friends to make and, you know. Just because you made a friend in gym class when you were 14 years old and they have a past with you and that's beautiful and that's important. That doesn't mean like, you know, I'm just, I'm cherry picking for my life. But like, I made friends when I lived in Pittsburgh in my public high school when I was 14.

And I grew up and I moved to New York and I changed my life and it's different now than like other people that took a different path and we grew apart, you know? And that's not to say they're not bad people, but like our lives are just different. We don't have anything in common. And I think what? it comes to friendships too. Like one thing that I have learned works really well is like just pick up the phone and figure out what's going on. Like one of my best friends, we just, some stuff had happened. This was six months ago. I mean, this was recent. You know, this is not

something that happened like years ago. I just felt the tension. I felt the tension over text and we were being short with each other and I could feel it and she could feel it too because we've been best friends for a very long time. And I was like, I'm going to figure this out. And like I called her and like there's been times in our relationship where she's been the bigger person and this time it was me. And it was like, hey, what's going on? She knew. And we talked it out. And I think that's like, don't do this like, whatever. Like, don't just fix it. If it's one of your close friends you care about, like just fix it. Like just be the big, just pick up the phone. You know this reminds me of it. I think about this a lot, like this one line. It's so cheesy.

It's impacted my life so deeply. You know Lindsay Lohan at the end of me girls when she brings Regina George, like something in the hot. She's like, I just had to suck out the poison. In all of my relationships, you just, it's like when you get a snake by. you have to suck out the poison. And I think that, like, New Year's is a really good time to do that in all of your relationships. And, like, if, like, you have a friend that you are really close with and you want to, like, fix that relationship, suck the poison out of it, like, make it better.

And, like, conversely, if somebody's just, like, poisoning your life, then, like, just chop the head off, like, to be done with it. Right. You know, and I like what you said about how you don't miss that friendship, the other girl. Yeah. Like, this girl, I never thought about her again. Yeah. I felt great.

I never had to explain to anybody where I was friends with her ever again and have to think, like, what's she going to do next? Yeah. Like, I just never had, and I don't think about her. I wish her well. I don't want anything bad for her. She's two kids. I hope that they're very healthy and happy. I don't want anything to do with her and I don't miss her at all. Right. Yeah. I just love this concept of like, this person's toxic in my life, but I've been friends of them for 10 years. So what? So what? So they just get to treat you like shit. I met. I met you, I met you met. I met you Like, you can bake, like, Rayna and I met, we've said it before, October, 2017. Like, what?

I know. I made you rich and famous. What are you doing right now? What are you doing right now? Like, good ridens to my 12-year friend. Hello, Raina. Well, I think that as you grow up, you should be allowed, like, people are like, you change. No shit.

I'm not 20 years old anymore. Yeah. Yes, I learned new information and I pivoted. Right. It doesn't make me a bad person. I mean, I used to run around and do drugs all the time. I don't do that anymore. And I don't have friends in my life to do that.

Right, exactly. And that's okay. That doesn't make me like a terrible person. I'm just different than I was. And like, you know, they make new friends, but keep you. It was like, yes, those friendships are really special and important, but like if you've grown apart from somebody, that's, it happens. That's fine.

That's fine. It does happen. And I think, you know, you really needed to outline like all the things that that girl had done. But like, I think you can also just be like, this friendship is just not really like serving me anymore. And, you know, I wish you the best. I mean, a friend breakup is brutal, but it can be done and you can just be like, this isn't a good thing for me anymore. That was an extreme situation. And that wasn't somebody who I miss or like, we want to see again. I have one other friend that I've broken up with that, like, there was just one situation

after that time I just stopped talking to her and she stopped talking to me. And it was great. And it was great. Mutual, we don't, we just, we sometimes never talk anymore and I just love it. No, we mutually ghost each other. It's great. It feels great. Yeah. And I'm trying to think like, we get, we've gotten some emails. I feel like they've been like my friend wronged me or something in some way. Like that's what, I think it's like a matter of like what did they, and like what should I do? And I think it's a matter of like, well, what did they do?

Like they like steal your man. You know what I mean? Like no, fuck that person. Yeah. But I think people get wrapped up and like, but we're all friends with the same people and I don't want to be outcasted and stuff like that. And I mean, I can understand that. I get it.

I don't know what this is like. I think that like. I think you should have backup friends. Make all friends you can. Stockpile friends. So I do. You really are somebody who has a tremendous amount of friends and long, like lifelong friendships. Yeah.

And a lot of it's really impressive. And I, thank you. I think you have tons of friends too. Yeah, I'm not, I'm just like loser. I'm just saying, you know. I just think women, what I love about women is that we are usually able to open up and be more vulnerable and things like that. And I think you just sit down with your girlfriend. Like, if you have somebody that can't ever apologize and can't ever take the blame,

I couldn't be friends of that person. Those are not the kind of people I can ever have in my life. Right. You would usually bang your head against the wall forever. feel like girls can get a little like in their heads and they're like going over things in their head and getting more and more and more mad. And the second that you're like, hey, can we sit down and talk? Like, can we get coffee? Can we go get wine and figure this out? You can really work some shit out. I mean, women just are just do relationships so well. I think it's generally not as bad as you assume

it's going to be. Yes, you're doing stuff in your head. Like, when I, I just hated that I waited so long to call my friend. Whatever was Kate. I'll just say. I waited, like there was, I was going over stuff on my head that was a waste of my time. Like, I was going over stuff like, she did this, but I did this. And like, all I had to do is pick up the phone. And I'm not talking months. I'm talking days, weeks. It's scary. But it's like, of course it was just this dumb thing. And like, we had a 45 minute phone conversation and we're back to best friends stronger than ever. When are we seeing each other next? You know what I mean? Like, it just took like a little bit of a reset. I get jealous when you talk about. Kate.

But you did, we don't have this before. We don't need to go. You did this with me. We had some tension and you were like, I, you were like, thought you were going to cry. You're like, I need to talk to you about something. I was really shaky, because in your head you always think it's going to be worse than it is. Like I'm going to throw my coffee on you and storm out. Yeah, I mean, you think that the person is going to be like, no, I didn't and no, I'm not. And no, you are and you are. And you know what?

If that's what somebody does to you, then fuck that person, okay? If you really feel hurt and sad by what's going on in your friendship with somebody and that's the response you get, then fuck that person. Well, and I think you and I have, are older, we've dealt with conflict a ton of times in our life. We know how to approach something. And the approach is like, I feel this way. You like start from like I statements. Like you don't start with you did this and you did this. If you would have come at me like that, I don't know what would happen.

We might have got to fight in the Hotel of Enti. Like you know how to approach something as an adult. And it's like, here's what I feel is happening. I feel hurt by this and this and this. And hey, I just want to hash through this. You never come at somebody. Like you did this. I mean, I'm about to.

Maybe. Maybe you do. But that doesn't work. I mean, you should say like here's how I experienced this. Yes. Here's all I felt about this. Here's how I feel. Exactly.

You just can't go wrong. And if someone can't sit and have a mature conversation with you then, then maybe that is person is not someone you should be having your life. Yeah. So lots of resolutions this year. But I think that, like, you know, I resolve to be a better person all the time. But if you don't, if the other 364, you don't, then this is a perfect day to start trying. All right.

Okay. Should we do our thing? Are we ready? Do we go through everything? Yes. I'm really excited. Instead of our weekly game, we're going to start a new annual segment. Annual segment, which means you won't hear this again until next year.

But it was worth it. It was worth waiting all year for this. Yes. And now we would like to present to you the 2018 Girls Got to Eat Awards, aka Senior Superalitives. So what we've done, this is Ashley's idea. This is very funny. I had this idea so long ago.

I've been waiting for this moment. Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this. Kelly Clarkson. I, yeah, this was so many months ago. I was like, oh, my gosh, let's do awards for our guests. Some will like these awards. Some may not like these awards. We've had some interesting guests on the show.

Right. Some real characters. Yeah. So we made a list of senior superlatives, and we're going to hand out some awards. So I hope you like your awards. Yeah. You're welcome, guys, that you're probably not even listening. None of them listen.

Right. What should we start with? I don't know. Class clown? Yeah, I'd like to hand out this one. Okay, go. One of our class clown. So just ridiculous person.

Yeah. Just so ridiculous. This one we're going to give to one of our first guests. He's the first guest I ever really like had a crush on. Oh, you're really saying it. Yeah, I like, had such a crush on him. Okay. And I got to know.

know him better. Now we're really good plutonic friends. Right. So Class Clown Award goes to Ross's Duryon, aka Brogan Dick Ross, aka the guy who broke his dick. I just text Ashley BDR what I want to talk to him. Yeah, that's his hashtag BDR. So he's just so ridiculous. He's most ridiculous person I've ever met. He is. And like, he's so funny. We were saying this. This is no offense to him. He's hilarious. But Class Clown is like, it's not necessarily the funniest person. I guess it kind It's the guy that can be a little annoyed sometimes. It's a ridiculous person. It's a ridiculous person.

Yeah. But he just makes me laugh all the time. He also looks like he's the class clown. Like it's always like a guy that's like, hey guys. You know, like he feels like he would be. He came to our live show in a Seattle Seahawks beanie. Right. Yeah.

You were a beanie to our live show. Right. I was in a gown. You were in a gown. And he was in a beanie. But yeah, he makes me laugh every day. He's hysterical. Yeah.

So he's the class clown. Okay. Best couple. So let's explain this. We were trying to figure, I was like, obviously it's us. Right. But we met like best guest in a couple. Yes, that we talked about their relationship.

Yes. And we know their relationship from whatever. The best couple we decided is Heather McMahon and her Italian-Stalian boyfriend. Who sends her pictures with his fireman hat on construction hat. And his hard hat. Yes. We just loved their relationship. That episode was funny because we were like, tell us tips for long distance.

and she was like, I don't know, just like love your partner. They have this amazing eight-year-long, most of the time, long-distance relationship. They just really love each other. And I, yeah, I mean, we've talked to plenty of people with their relationships, but we're giving them the best couple award. You know they're just so fun. Heather and Jeff. Congratulations, Heather.

Congratulations. Okay. Next up. Actually, you're going to hand this out because I'm going to hand out the next one. Go good. I get to do the power females. Best dressed, duh, Katie Sterino. I mean, there is no.

No competition. No competition. There wasn't even a runner up for this one. Yes. Katie Strinow, the 12th style. And when we record, no one's like bringing the heat on the outfit game, you know, but except Katie. We recorded with her in the middle of the summer. It was so fucking hot. She wore this just like big white, flowy dress. She had great handbag, great jewelry. And just in best dress in life is also her. Like she was a fashion blog. Yeah. You should check out her Instagram of the 12 inch style. It's incredible. Right. And also I just have to restate that like the people that are enjoying this segment are like the ones who listen to every episode. Other people are probably like, I don't fucking know.

You guys can go. Just in a one episode and they're like, I don't know. But yes, best dressed, Katie Sterino. Not even a runner-up. Yeah. Worst dressed. I was really excited to hand this one out. So worst dress goes to San Marell for showing up to our studio in a pair of swim trunks.

High tube socks, push down, dirty sneakers, some fucking dumb shirt. It probably said the Tonight Show on it. It's a night show t-shirt and a pair of fucking swim trunks in September. And here's a deal. I don't think he gives a fuck. good for him. No, he's the funniest fucking person's ever. He's funny. He's super talented. He clearly is not out here trying to say he dress as well. He's not a fashion model. He left our recording studio and I was like, swim trunks. I don't know if they technically were.

Like, I can respect a guy that doesn't give a fuck. But you can't be out here thinking you're not going to get worse dressed. Also, like, you probably can't write good jokes if you're a GQ model. Like those things don't work like hand in hand. You can't look like Dale Moss and be funny. Can't wait until we get to Dale's. Clearly, we're going to nail an award. No, but I think that Sam is so funny. You just can't look good if you're that funny. Right.

Okay, next up, another standard senior superlative, most likely to be famous. We're just going to give this to the most famous person. So Nikki Glazer. But she's going to keep getting more famous. She's so amazing. We love her so much. I feel like the next like Howard Stern, aside from us.

She's already got the show in serious. But I, all of our guests are like on their way, for the most part. our guests are on their way to being something famous, you know, but we just, we couldn't, this is like such a standard senior superlative, so we had to include it. I mean, honestly, as we were just doing these in general, I'm like so proud of the people that we've, like, collected on this show. Like, yes, I think Nicky's.

Most likely to be famous, who's already famous. Yeah. Nikki Glazer. Most likely to get more famous. Yeah. Also, famous category, most likely to be president. I'd like to take a moment to give this out to Noah Neiman. Okay.

here's a deal. Even including Obama, who I love, clearly, if you think you can run the world, that's some serious confidence. Right. And Noah has that confidence. He has that big president energy. Big president energy. But also, like, let's be clear, Obama, like, spent his whole life being a politician.

Like, Noah Neiman's, like, a Trump president. Like, he's like, no, I can fucking do it. I'll do it. Right. Never done it before. I'll do it. No one even is the only, also the only, we were, we had to, like, at least, like, take a fewies out.

I was going to do least dressed guest. Yes. Because Noah is the only guest to ever take his clothing off in our studio. He took his shirt off at Mouth Media. Guys, remember Mouth Media powered by Sunheiser? It's like a tech startup space. He took his shirt off in the lobby area. Nobody asked.

Nobody wanted this. I'm not, I wasn't mad at it wasn't happening. But yeah. I mean, Noah could definitely be like, I'll do this. I work out seven days a week. I could definitely run the country. Whatever. Try me.

I just, I think that he could like win elections. Like I could really see him just like marching into a rally and being like, just, I got this. Just trust me, pounding on his chest. He takes his shirt off and he just wins the female vote. Right. Like it's, yeah, like let's be clear. Like four years ago, we wouldn't have said this. But after 2016, anything can happen.

Do we be president? Most like I could be president. No one named it. Oh God. Lord help us. Okay. Okay. We were really excited to give out this next one because we just love her.

Best shoulder to cry on. Also, I just want a low-key give her best person to read you a bedtime story. Right. Yes. It's Kelly Hagan. Yes. Kelly Hagan from our episode is Love in the Cards.

Yes, she's a medium. Yeah, medium tarot reader, psychic, my life coach. You know, I just could not love that episode anymore. You guys loved it too. She just gave such solid relationship advice and she read our taros and everything like that. But, I mean, she's been my shoulder to cry on so many times. So we wanted to give that super little about. Was she our first female guest?

Yes. And first... Great. Well, remember we said first married guest? And people were like, no, because the hinge guy was married. We like, oh, we forgot. We blocked it out. I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. That was a decent episode. She was also the first, like, non-famous, like, traditionally famous guest. Yeah. And I was just like, I don't know how this is going to go. And she handed out of the park. Yeah, you were like skeptical. I was like, you got to trust me on this.

She was great. And I never mistrusted you again. Okay. Next one. Oh, God. Most likely to be... Just read between the lines on this one. Nice, nice.

Most likely to be late to graduation. Shepherd Rose. The Shepisode. And he was drunk. He showed up drunk. Have we said this yet? An hour late to the studio. Hour late, drunk.

Saw in his Instagram story. He was at the frying pan on a boat. I was like, he's not even coming. He was in Grand Banks. At least he came. Okay, here's a deal. I don't blame him for being drunk. They never should have scheduled his interview for evening.

Like, he was here with his friends. He was here to film the reunion show. Like, they should have never, yes, you're totally right. Like, he was with all of his friends. Yeah, I just, I kind of wanted to, I just wanted to reenact. And he was drunk. We haven't said it in so long. He was drunk.

What was the first time? Where did it come from? That's Jared Fried episode. Oh, yeah. It's talking about your fiancee leaving you. I was drunk. I was drunk. So, yeah, Shep, whatever.

We still have great feelings about him. He promoted the episode a lot. He was really gracious to us. So we want to make that clear that we don't like hate this guy. But yeah, most likely to be late to graduation and our recording. Yes, and was late to our recording. Okay. Next up, I'm really excited to hand out this.

Oh, we do shit on people. This is a really nice feel good one. Most changed. And we're going to hand this out to Derek Dresher. Yes. Excon turned like the nicest guy. I know. Trainer, successful.

Motivational speaker. Right. Yes. Derek Drescher from our ex-con episode, obviously most changed. And sometimes they say like most improved. I think that sounds a little like snarky. But we were reading it earlier.

We were figuring these out earlier on like hour three on my parents' couch. And I was like most changed. And Raina looked at me and she was like, Derek. And I'm like tired. I'm like, yes, used to be a convict. Yeah, he got a rest with so many times. Look at him. He, like, changed his whole life around.

He looks great. Oh, I love that one so much. She's such a nice guy. Yeah. Okay. Next up is most school spirit or most spirited. We're going to give this to Maria of Gantitas, right? The matchmaker.

Matchmaker Maria. She came in hot. She was amazing. She did her research ahead of time. She showed up with gifts. Yeah, she had gifts for us. Also, we had like a major, like, recording meltdown. She sat there, like, such a trooper.

She's like, it happens. It's no big deal. She texted us after the episode. She posted Instagram photos. Like, nobody. She was a fan of us. Yeah. She was our most girls got to eat spirit.

But also just her vibe is like she is, you know, like chair of the pep rally committee. You know what I mean? She's just like always a smile on her face. Like big, like joyous energy. Like no task too big. She can do it. It's absolutely. Like hands down most school spirit.

Okay. Next up. I mean, I don't even care. Biggest flirt. We should have to throw this in. They were like, I don't know. Well, I guess we'll just do it. I guess it's love, whatever.

I don't anything else to say about it. Let's move on. Next category. Stop. I love him so much. He also knows. I love that category. You know what that means for me?

It's like, guest who's slept with the most fans since the show. Oh, my God. You know that's him? Totally. He's like, you know, it's so funny. I feel like we've really come full circle. Like, I met him and I wasn't interested in him at all. And then I was like, oh, wait, I ain't.

I am. I thought he was so hot. Now I'm like, you're like my brother. This is weird for me. I know. We asked questions today on Instagram and everybody was like, Kru Raina Sleep with Love? Has Raina slept with Love? It's like, sorry, guys. I don't think it's going to happen. Yeah, I think that time has passed.

He's just like a brother. The window is closed. That vagina is closed. I don't know. He's going to come to a few cities of this. We'll see how much I drink. Don't even say that. Everyone's going to start messaging us.

DM Rana. Okay. Best all around. I'm going to cry. Andrew Collin. I love it. He's our favorite person. We bring him everywhere with us.

His episode was so unexpectedly insane and hilarious. I mean, I laugh at him all the time. He walked into the studio and I was like, what the fuck is this guy going to set? What is this guy going to say? Ashley's like, like, wanted to do an episode about dogs. I was like, I don't know. I'll just sit here for an hour.

I guess like I'll throw this episode to Ashley. Right out of the gate. He's like, I just had this threesome one day. And, you know, I mean, two other people joined in. It's like this giant orgy. And I came by myself in the bathroom. And I'm like, what is happening? I got to say, I love how everybody tries to do Andrew's voice.

No one can fucking do it. Nikki tries to do it. Love tries to do it. You just try to do it. Can't do it. Just let's give up. Let's stop trying to impersonate Andrew Collin. He's just so great.

He's like opened a bunch of our shows for eyes. He is, I just like, you know how you just know, like you and I, like, we feel the way out about each other. Like you, I know you'll get it done. Like if something goes wrong, Rain has got it. If something, if the rain is sick, I got it. Like Andrew, he's got it. Send him out there, open a show, bring him on stage.

He just will never not be funny. Yeah. He is the most solid go-to. That's why Nikki Glazer brings him everywhere, too. It's just like he is the guy. He's great. I feel so lucky to have him in our lives. So next up, I thought this was so funny.

I love this. I love this. We used some really silly ones that we found. Most likely to do anything for a dollar. Not because they're poor, just because they're ridiculous. And Moran Kagani gets this one. He is just the funniest, most wild person on her. He is a wild animal.

The noises that, like, omitted from him. from his body. Like, he is so funny. And I was like, well, I'm not a comedian. He was like, honey, I know. I've spent 30 seconds with you. I know. That was so fucked up.

He was so mean. He was doing it to like create like a little, he remember he's like, I'm just trying to create a little sexy tension in the room. But he, like, the stuff, he says some things like you do. Like he's like the place so go to buy drugs. Like you've said that too.

Like he just has, he's seen some shit. Yes. Like he, when you said this, like he didn't even cross my mind. Like, whatever. We were recapping all of our guests. And I was like, we were like, most likely to do anything for a dollar and Raina was like, Moran. I was like, oh, fuck, yes.

Anything. Just like, not because he needs the money, just because he's a ridiculous. Like, the story would be funny. Yeah. And I think if you told him this, he'd be like, yes, Eddie! I was trying to, I can't.

I don't do impersonations. Okay. Ashley said earlier that it was her one flaw. I swear to God, this came out of her mouth. I said not being able to do impersonations is my second flaw. The first one is that I don't like Bloody Mary's. I only have two flaws. Okay.

Okay. Okay. I'm so excited about this next one. The person you'd call to help you hide a body, without a doubt, Lindsay Metzler for We Metta, Acme. And here's why. Just let's talk about the phone call. You have to hide a body.

Who am I going to call, Lindsay Metzler, and why? Because she would be like, I have to go to dinner right now at the Nomad, but I mean, I'll see how long it takes. and then maybe I could come there, but only if it was like maybe near the Gansworth so we could like dig a dish before I go up and get drinks. Is that cool? You'd be like, Lindsay, is this like inappropriate?

And she'd be like, never. I, yeah, like, I feel like she's got, just like doesn't give a fuck, you know? Like she would, yeah, it wouldn't phase her. Like, she would wake up the next day and be like, oh, that's right, we had that body last night. And I feel like she's, you know, got all family money. Like she could cover something up.

Like they could pay off a judge, I feel like. I feel like her dad's important. Totally. Like she's the, she's the go-to person. She'll smoke a little weed and be like, do you remember what we did last night? That was so crazy.

We were joking earlier and Raina was like, yeah, you'll call her and be like, she would be like, well, I got to go to dinner first. But afterwards I could maybe help with the body. She's like, look, are we going to throw it in the Hudson or the East River? Because like I don't feel like going over to the east side, But if it's the Hudson

There's no bars over there that I want to go to after. If we could just put the body in the Hudson, that would be so good. That's where my dad keeps his boat. We love her. I hope she's been a really good friend. I love her. I just love her vibe. Like, I would love to get that super relative.

I would love to murder somebody with her. I hope I get the chance of death. Someone's going to get pissed. Someone's going to write an iTunes review that we endorse murder. My brother got murdered. It's really it's felt too. Okay. Okay.

this one, we've come to consensus on this one. You know what I'd like this one. Okay. Person that you'd most like to be stranded on a desert island with. A lot of thought went into this. This was a really heated battle. We were like, you know, who would you want to sleep with? Who would you want to talk to?

Who could like keep you up? And this was, this is a heated one. And we came to a consensus. We are excited to present this award to Dale Moss. You probably are confused on this one. You're like, Dale, I don't see him being able to like slice through the wilderness with a machete, but it's not about that. I mean, he could also do that because he's super hot.

He could also do that because he's strong and hot. And he played in the NFL. He could probably chop up. I mean, hold on. I have a reason and you have a reason. My reason is because, like, then we'd have to hook up, you know? Like, where's he, the only two people on the deserted island that we'd have to hook up. And your...

My reason is because he'd read me, like, inspirational memes every day. He's positive. He is. Like, he would be like, you know what the sun came up? And that's what we have to thank God for today. And just look inside ourselves. and we're always on a desert island alone. And just to erase it, you know?

Like, every morning you should be inspirational beings. Like, he would be negative. Yeah, like, just love it. He's like, he's Mr. positivity. And that's what you need someone to keep your spirits up when you're straight on a desert island. Well, my only, like, he's athletic. And, like, who doesn't want to watch him with shirt off?

Probably, like, I could picture him, like, climbing up some trees to get, like, coconuts or something. You can probably picturing it all day. Huh. I haven't been able to something about fucking Dale on this island. And fend for yourself. for themselves. Bitch.

All right. Are we really going to end with this guy? Okay. I think this is hysterical. This is the funniest thing on earth. I could wait. Most likely to survive the hunger games.

Jared Freed. Jared Freed is so, Jared free's not going down without a fight. He is so, he just comes across to me, he's so stubborn and such a dick. Like, he's like,

I'm like, fuck you, I'm going to win this. I can see Jared on a big rock in the middle of like wherever the Hunger Games are doing bits about why the Hunger Games are stupid. Yeah.

People are trying to kill him, throw spears at him, He'll just be yell talking in his opinion. I would die to watch him in the Hunger Games. Yeah. I think he's, I think Jared Fried would win the Hunger Games. Without a doubt. Those are our superlatives.

That we've ended on to be a positive moment. We do. A surprise one. Oh my God, I'm so excited. All right. Are you ready for this? Is it best couple being? No.

Best friends, baby? Can you stop? Can I do this? Fine. Most likely to succeed. You and me. I'm going to tell you. I was so sad.

I'm glad we didn't give Most Lately to succeed out. Yeah. Well, we did most likely to be famous. Most likely to succeed. Ashley and Raina. Sorry, you guys can call us cocky all you want. We're going to end this episode with our 2019 energy coming in hot. Live your best life.

Know your worth. Know how badass you are because we are too. I'm shook. I got nothing. That was a surprise. That was really good. I love that. All right, guys.

I just, like, choked up thinking about it. I can't believe the messages people send us, thanking us, asking us for advice,

sharing their stories. The people that, like, show up to our live shows in custom T-shirts that they made. And I'm constantly blown away by how insightful and smart and sensitive and funny this audience is. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yes, we grew this

because we have big Instagram accounts we're able to advertise it, but, like, so much of the growth is because people literally simply went out and told their friends to listen. And so, yeah, I just want to say thank you so much too, because we obviously could not do this without the listeners. Yeah, exactly.
