Whole thing, spell it out. And I am so excited to talk about them. Whole thing spell it out. Spell it out. I went on my very first matchmaker date.
Starting point is 00:03:01 This is going to be funny. My very first matchmaker date last year, which was like in the spring, or maybe like late winter, I did wear those khaki cargoes. And I remember. If you want to know what I wore on top. A button down Reformation. Tess is wearing it right now. I wore that top. That color that tops when she's on her body?
Starting point is 00:03:22 That exact top. That's my exact top. Is that the button on Reformation top? No, this is what I wore. I wore this green. It's terrible. And like sometimes we have a clothes that we may have worn like once or twice. I get all this stuff from Revolve and Tessa is just like, you know, I'll take it.
Starting point is 00:03:35 This is like, it's not even hand me down since I wore it once, you know? How this shit? I give Tessa has tags on it. Tess is amazing. Can I have a Goodwill Hall right now? I mean, listen, we get free shit sometimes, and I'm a revolve ambassador, and I get those credits every month, and yeah, sometimes I read this stuff once, and I'm like, pass it down. Yeah, pass it down to the fam. Pass it forward. Pay it forward. Tessa, in the corner with the green top.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Okay, I looked back at that. I'm like, I wore that on a, like, I was in my cargo pan era. Like, last winter. Yeah. These, what I wore were not. cargo pants. They were a slacks. They had like a lit. Oh, you're right. You did wear slacks. It was a cute look though. I looked cute. I mean, I wore like a cute tank my boobs, but my boots are all like smashed into that shirt. It was flat in the mat.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Like I said something about getting a breast augmentation and he's like, are you happy with it now? And I like gestured towards like, yeah. And then I realized my boobs were all smashed up into that tank top. Sitting above my khaki pants. So I was thinking of like smashing my boobs doing this. That's hot. So I was taking a Kendall Tool Peloton ride. this morning. And she, I think she's a smaller breasted woman. She's the hottest woman alive, so don't get it twisted. But she really just pushes them up. Like that's the secret. You get them like something really tight here. Skims bra's a lot of times. And you have the kind of that rounded top. They looked great and they looked smaller. And I was like, I think I could do that.
Starting point is 00:04:59 Just put mash them. I mean, you could definitely mash those things. Also when you get closer to your period, they get bigger. Remember that time in your boobs are so big? Yeah, I'm not. Not anymore than now that I'm on the IED, but like I used to have like bigger boobs around my period. Yeah, you did. Yeah. Huge that one time. Oh, yeah. When Rob saw me walking, he didn't know it was me.
Starting point is 00:05:19 He was like, who's that girl the big titty? And his wife was right there. I was like, Ashley? And I was like, Ashley? I said, who me? No one's ever said. I just like, put it on my grave. No one's ever said that girl with the big tities.
Starting point is 00:05:32 I have to tell you something before we really get into it. Because you haven't acknowledged this and I need to acknowledge it to the listeners. The viewer is more important. I'm going to have different colored hair this whole summer and I want to explain. Oh, sorry, we haven't even talked about. You're a lot going on. We don't talk about it. So we have recorded a few interviews ahead of time because we are in New York and people
Starting point is 00:05:48 were available at certain times. So quite a few of our interviews throughout this summer are going to be recorded at different times that the intros are recorded. So we recorded a bunch of interviews back in like May and earlier this month where my hair is pretty, it's like a darker blonde. Yeah. And then I went and got it done. And we've gone a little too far.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I look a little bit like Marshall Mathers. Overcorrected. And I'm obsessed with my girl. She's amazing. And I did tell her go bright, bright blonde. And we did this. And I was like, I want to take it down a notch. So now we're going to take it down a notch on Friday.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Okay. So we are recording the intro for the 17th today. Then we have two interviews that we're recording like for July with this hair color. And then I don't have another hair. On Friday. It's just like the, you never know what you're going to get. You never know what you're going to get. It's like Rainer Roulette.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Rainal. Rinal. Raynal and Astley. Raynell and Astley. I know. Am I rectal or Astley? Astley is really funny. And that was one of our listeners. Yes, welcome back to Girls Got to Eat with Raynal, Greenberg, and Astley has a time. No, that's so funny. Like, they never know what they're going to. It's going to change midway through the episode. And the whole Instagram feed's going to look crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Yeah. Every other thing. Yeah, it's going to change every episode. So people are probably watching now and like like that color. I don't mind it. I mean, it's bright. It's pretty. You just think it's too artificial looking or too bright. It's too bright for me. It looks a little like too fake and like. I don't know. Yeah, it looks a little too fake for me. I like something just like, I'm with it. A little darker. Also, when it gets a little greasier, like, days like three and four, then I really, really hate it. Okay. I love it. I really, like, inspired me to want to like, I mean, I usually get highlights. I just haven't gotten them in so long. I'm like really do something. I mean, I really do something like, I mean, I really do something. I mean, you would guess it. Because I'm over here with, you're not. But I've also been trying to be careful with my whole, like, hair loss situation. But anyway, I feel like I'm ready to go back into it. I mean, there are times when I was like, I feel like, I just want to, like, bleach blonde my hair. I think you'd look. I caught like Kim K or like white blonde can you imagine I'm imagining it now that's almost what I did I don't know how they do I mean they also wear wigs and who really knows what they're ever doing but
Starting point is 00:07:47 that stuff really damages your hair like the bleach on like a natural brunette they wear a lot of wags I have inside Intel yeah now inside Intel yeah inside Intel okay so thank you so much I want a Gemini season we haven't even said it this really haven't it's your responsibility I know because you know your first episode of cancer season I love all my Gemini girlies. I went out. The Gemini Man was a khaki pants guy. Okay. I don't have a problem with Gemini men. Whatever. I think they're all great. Gemini's are great. Okay.

Like the best Beyonce say album. So you came up with the idea and I was like, what is that going to taste like. And we always like test a bunch of different formulas. And this is like the perfect mix of sour and sweet. It tastes like drinking glass of lemonade. It's so delicious. It's so, so good. I mean, this will be a lot of y'all's favorite. I mean, our partner on this side, she was like, I'm doing QC on this and it's my favorite that you guys have done. So, yeah, I mean, I'm a big citrus slut and I just like lemon in general. And we were talking about, like, do we do like a lemon drop? I mean, a lemon drop is the same as kind of like lemon.

This is my boyfriend, by the way. It was like a random person. And he's so into our like branding and he reads every post and everything. He knows everything.
Starting point is 00:10:47 I thought you were going to say. He's so into your mouth. You're like our branding. He was also in my mouth. I said like, oh my God, there was so much spit. And he goes, isn't that the point? Like he knows that we say it's supposed to activate your saliva glands. I was like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:11:00 You know the marketing speak. He gave you the brand pitch. Okay, so this came about Ashley's blowjob. Actually, I were just talking about when you give blow jobs. And I was like, I start every morning when I'm in the relationship. Somebody got a blow job. I know it sounds crazy, and it's crazy, I don't have a boyfriend right now. But like, I start the sexual experience in the morning with a blowjob.
Starting point is 00:11:19 You guys wouldn't think khaki pants girl would be also morning BJ girl. The range. I have a lot of range, okay? Not to completion. I'm just, I'm starting the engines revving with a little BJ. And then I got on top. Yeah. Like I said to you, I was like, I would never suck a dick in the day.
Starting point is 00:11:35 You said never given a daytime blow job. Never suck a dick in the day. Yeah. I mean, I've sucked a dick in the day. Well, I don't even really know. I don't want to be so up close and personal with a dick like that. Broad daylight. I like a nighttime BJ.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Like, I don't, it's too much. Well, we were talking about it. Just balls in your face? Like, I'm just eyes squeezed shut. Like, also, you chase a position. Like, at night, I'm on my knees, like, just being. disgusting. Okay. Morning. I'm just sort of like lazily on the bed. You're in it. Your face is in it. My face is in it. Broad Daylight. Yeah. What time of day did you give your blame? Okay. So I gave two. I know. I know. Because guess what? Dewey Beach. It's truly
Starting point is 00:12:13 Dumi Beach. We were so horny. I mean, we're really horny for each other. Like great chemistry and intimacy. But something about Dewey is just hits different. That motel. So can I walk you through the first thing that happened and then we'll go into the blowjob. Okay. So first of all, we started the weekend in Boston at the Celtics game, which was game one at the finals. It was incredible. Like Boston sports, I mean, like I just think they're like Philly sports. Like same type of fan base. And you know, I'm a Philly girl, but I've always loved the Celtics. We've had the Celtics dancers at our shows. And I love them. I want to get them again. So you guys come to those Boston shows because they're just like our faves and they're so wonderful. And so the Celtics game in general and they won.
Starting point is 00:12:49 It was just like my favorite thing. It was like one of my favorite sports experiences of all time. It was so much fun. It was absolutely incredible. And then for them to win. So I can't hype it enough. and we can't wait to see all you Boston girlies at the shows in December. Get those tickets. Girls Gotta eat.com. But anyway. And then we went to Delaware and did like a family weekend and my cousin and his wife and their kids all came up from Florida. And then we spent like one night down at the beach, whatever. So we're driving down.
Starting point is 00:13:12 And he was driving. He was like, I have to pee. And I'm like, all right. Well, you know, we're like 15, 20 minutes out. I'm sure you'll be fine. He's not exactly sure where we are because he's not from there. I knew where we are. I knew the Wawa.
Starting point is 00:13:25 And I'm just like, oh, we're like 15, 20 minutes out. And he was like, okay. And I was like, I have to pee too. So I think we have to pee the same amount. We're so alike. We're viving right now. We're soul-made. So I'm just like, okay, we both have to pee.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I clock the information. So we get to our motel in Dewey Beach. We wanted to stay at, I'm not going to name me names because we did end up switching hotel. Listen, I just, it had lost its charm from last summer. But we stayed, we were hornyer last summer. We wanted to stay in a motel where we stayed last summer, where it's like, it's where we said, I love you for.
Starting point is 00:13:57 time like it's sentimental to us and you know whatever so you guys are so sentimental it's crazy like you would go as far as to be like I got to give a blow job in this motel because we said I love you on agenda you're so sentimental so it's this motel we go check it I'm in like the front and the way that it's you know it's set up it's like a tiny little lobby he walks in there with me at first and he had all our bags and stuff and then he went and like wait outside it's just like kind of a tight waiting area and I'm like talking to the woman you know people see I have a California license they're usually pretty interested. I'm like, oh, but I'm from here.
Starting point is 00:14:29 You know, I'm from Delaware. I'm chit-chatting away. And then I'm like, oh, you guys have coffee. I make myself a coffee. I'm taking my good old time. Meanwhile, I do have to pee, but I'm like able to hold it. It wasn't debilitating. So I'm just taking my good old time.
Starting point is 00:14:43 She gives me the room keys. You know, we're only like five doors down from the lobby. We're on the first floor. You know, we're going to be on the bay, whatever. I walk out of that door. He's frantic. Ashley, I'm going to pee my pants. He never really says my name like that.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Ashley, and he is the most calm, cool, collected person I know. He is so calm all the time. He's on his toes. He is like, I'm going to pee my pants. Meanwhile, I'm like, okay, I get it. I have to pee too. He's like, you don't understand. He was like, I have to pee so bad.
Starting point is 00:15:11 And he's like, his body movement. I mean, I'm like, I've never seen you like this. Stop. And I'm like, babe, we're right there. Like, we're room 102. Like, let's go. And so I'm like trying to hustle up. And he's like, okay, I'll get the door open, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:23 He like just, is supposed to have. I checked you out of the way. I look back and there he was just being behind a bush in front of the hotel. He just, he had to go. Right. When I tell you, we were 30 feet from the room, 20 even.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I look back, our bags are just stranded. He left the bags. I mean, you know, middle of the day. Like a drunk person. Like a Dewey Beach day drinking drunk person had to pee. That's funny. At the motel. If you're going to do it, you should do it
Starting point is 00:15:52 like the middle of day at a beach tower, but he's drunk. You got to go. You got to go. I know that you were on U-time. Like sometimes I'm like, every time I'm like, let's walk out the door, you're like, you just turn and go in the other direction to pee. We've never left an airport lounge or a hotel lobby where I didn't stand up to go to the Uber
Starting point is 00:16:07 and you walk in the other direction to the bathroom. That is 100% of the time. So you're on Ashley time at all times. So like, of course you're in the lobby, just like having a coffee enjoying yourself. But like he's an adult. He could have walked in there and been like, I have to pee, Ashley. Like, at least I'm like, Ashley, the plane's taking off. I'll leave you behind.
Starting point is 00:16:25 So I was like, oh my God. And I'm like, I look at him. Are you serious? I'm right here. The room's right here. He's like, I have to go. You know, and then I am like, you know, babe, I'm so sorry. I just thought we'd be the same amount.
Starting point is 00:16:40 You know, like I'm holding it and I thought you were fine. And he goes, he goes, you were in there making a coffee. He goes, when I saw you make that coffee. That's how I feel. I'm like Ashley, got to leave his airport lounge. And 100% of the time you walk in the other direction. You always have to fill your water bottle up and go to the bathroom. I'm standing there at the front of the lobby.
Starting point is 00:17:03 You couldn't have done this in the 20 minutes we sat here. You're like, what I'm going to do is do it the minute you want to leave. I just literally like, I laughed so hard. I was like, I'm so sorry. The fact that you were literally like, I'm not well. And I'm like, do-to-do. I'm putting javanella in it. I was just taking my time.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Chit-chat. with this woman. I'm like, yeah, we're on vacation. Like, is she fucking serious? You're like, so we said I love you for the first time with the motel. I mean, props to him for being like, look at her liver, best life. I'm not going to bother her. I can't believe.
Starting point is 00:17:40 He's so patient and wonderful. Like, I would have ripped open that door and been like, hurry the fuck up. Are you serious? But it's, I've never seen him like that in our whole relationship. Okay, but do you remember you and I were talking about, well, it was years ago. It was in New York. We were talking about, like, getting mad at, like, men for doing certain behaviors. And one of them was, like, peeing outside in the backyard.
Starting point is 00:18:03 And you were, like, kick him out of that. You cannot get mad at your man for that. So, like, you are a long time stand of letting men pee outside in the grass mill a day. Absolutely. And I do think, like, you got to keep your dick in check. You can't just be whipping your dick out. Like, he would never, obviously, this is an extreme dire situation. But, yeah, guys are going to be outside.
Starting point is 00:18:19 They love it. You got to let him do it. So we went in the motel. And, listen, it wasn't what we remember. There was a lot of flies. And like, that's not their fault. But it was just like it was a weird fly season day. We were living on love last year.
Starting point is 00:18:31 The West winds. Yeah, everything. I was just like, these flies are multiplying. I can't live like this. So we did end up like switching and everything was totally fine. And we weren't like, give us our money back. We were just like, let's just grab this like other place, you know, so we can like have a nice night. But we did get in there and we just got right down to it.
Starting point is 00:18:47 We were like so warning. So yeah. So I did give a little blow job then. But it was really dark in there. So it was like. Nighttime energy. Yeah, like the curtain was shut because you can just like walk by and see right in that room. So we had like the curtain shut and it was like dark.
Starting point is 00:19:01 And then later that night, I really wanted to use this juicy peach suck and blow gel. Because the first one I didn't really use it. We just like got right down to it. We were like so dewy horny. And then at night I was like, I actually want to use a suck and blow gel. We brought out the cockering. We like did all the things. Two in a day?
Starting point is 00:19:16 He is so blessed. Well, you know, I feel like I had to catch up because remember I was like, I owe you some. Yeah, you did. And then I owe you for that whole pee thing. You know. that whole situation. Can I just tell you something like, listen, I let it slide for a second, but I really do want to know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Did you go right from outside pee to dick sucking? Like, no breaks. You know me. Which like, okay, I will say, like, probably a lot of people do that. A lot of people pee right before sacks. That's the real lemonade, everybody. Urine. No, so he actually showered as soon as he got into the room.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I think he was just like, he felt dirty from all the peeing outside. In the car for all those hours. Yeah, we were like, yeah. Also, we'd been at the farm before. that we were staying outside. Like we were both kind of hot and sweaty. It was like hot. And I mean, you know, he's coast. Yeah, can't relate. He's showered in the motel and that made me want to suck his dick a bit more. Like I'm a big right out of the shower. Like a fresh dick. Fresh penis. I've said before. Like if you've been working all day, you're on your feet. Like,
Starting point is 00:20:14 I'm just not really inspired to stick my face in your crotch. Yeah. So I do understand where we went from big piss energy to sucking dick, but there was a shower in between. I was like, I'm not going to bring it up. Maybe no one else thought about it. And then I took a look at that shower and I'm like, we got a switch for hotels. And then I showered at the Hyatt when we moved. So I got my shower in. Thank you for clarifying. I don't want to call you out, but I'm glad you clarified.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Okay. We never really talked about like times of day that you could blow jobs, but I told you I was like really on my knees like three in the morning, just like give it a disgusting blowjob. And I was like so proud of it. I feel like I'm not on my knees a lot. I'm not either. And also I feel like listeners like you just mentioned like six dates in the last like three episodes
Starting point is 00:20:49 also. Like I'm just dating a lot. Yeah, you are. I really had a dry spell there and now the floodgates are open. I'm dating a lot. Yeah, and I love to see it. And yeah, I mean a lot of nice people. I mean a lot of nice boys.
Starting point is 00:21:01 And my cagies, yeah. Okay, so this episode is about a lot of like summertime dating. Weddings are obviously coming up. I'm going to, actually the end of this week. I'm going to London for Taylor Swift. I'll be a Taylor Swift this coming weekend. See my brother and his pregnant wife. And then I'm going to go to Italy and Spain and Paris, which I'm really excited about.
Starting point is 00:21:20 But this wedding, I have to type with like this whole wardrobe thing that happened with the bride. Okay. She's a really good longtime friend of mine. You've known her for a long time, too. She is just, I don't even know how to describe her. She's delightful, but sometimes a little scattered. Scattered is a good word, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:35 She's great at her job. Yeah. Great friend. She's great energy. It's best energy. So wonderful to be around. But she's so chaotic. She's, the text she sends without context.
Starting point is 00:21:47 Remember that one time she just sent you a text? It was like, I just saw a dick. Yes. And we were like, your fiancers? It was like someone in the street, probably whose girlfriend was checking into a motel. and they just had to piss, but anyway. The other day she just texted me, I ate two peanuts today.
Starting point is 00:22:01 No context. I was like, no one's funnier than her. So she was very funny. Our friend Jeremy and I are going to her wedding in Tuscany, and it's really far getting to Italy from here. I want to pack really accordingly. So it's the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. It was two events.
Starting point is 00:22:16 And I bought this dress. There's a wedding website. It probably is wardrobe information. There's invite, also wardrobe information. I wanted to wear this dress to her wedding. The base of it is white. it is a floral dress. It's every color of flowers. But the base is white. Okay. And so I just want to send it to her and be like, I mean, that's not even. I mean, that's nice that you want to check. But it's just like a very colorful dress. Most people wouldn't care. But some brides are just like, that's my color today. Don't you dare. That would be crazy by the way. But okay. But I was like, we'll show this on YouTube. Okay. So she writes me back. She's like, no, it's totally fine. Whatever. And she's like, but actually, she's like, let me just give you the breakdown of what to wear. I'm like, oh my God. Okay. She sends me a voice note and puts in writing. She has this in writing. Friday is a white party.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It will be breezy and summary. Okay, sure. Saturday will be talented Mr. Ripley vibes. If all of you were like, I don't know what that is, that's a movie from 1998. Not that famous of a movie. I haven't seen it. I had to Google it to see what she was talking about. She writes, preppy sexy.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Saturday. Okay. So this is what I'm assuming I'm wearing. I'm going to buy a white dress for Friday night, white party, and I'm going to wear this kind of preppy sexy dress Saturday night. I don't know, whatever. So Jeremy's in my house last night. I'm asking what he's going to wear to the wedding.
Starting point is 00:23:26 And he was like, I bought this pink suit for Friday night. And I was like, oh, no, no, no, you can't wear a pink suit. It's a white party. And he goes, I showed her this outfit last week. And she said it was fine. And I was like, Jeremy, I'm telling you it's a white party. I have it in writing. I have it in a voice note.
Starting point is 00:23:38 And he's like, I'm telling you I live next door to her. I showed her the pink outfit. She said, wear it Friday. So I'm like, let me just check the website. I'm not trying to text a bride, by the way, and be like, give me all the information about what you're wearing. Like, I really just wanted to run this dress by her. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:52 That's it. Like we're adults. We should be able to check the official information, not text the bride. Yeah. Okay. What should I wear on the website? For Friday night's welcome party, the dress code is Tuscan Chic. Think Jude Law and Gweth Paltrow in the Talented Mr. Ripley.
Starting point is 00:24:07 That's the one she told you was white? That's the night that she said there's a white party. She said Talented Mr. Ripley on Saturday. Okay. We want everyone to wear neutrals, beige's, also whites. So I look up Talented Mr. Ripley. It's like linen sets. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:20 You just Google them. It looks like Hampton's linen sets. For the wedding Saturday, a formal affair. You can wear a gown, cocktail dresses, a tuxedo if you want, or suits. No white or off white. She's told me I could wear this on white dress. What? Friday's not a white party.
Starting point is 00:24:41 Friday is talented Mr. Ripley night. And the wedding is no white. The wedding is no white. Yeah, obviously. Cocktail dress. Cocktail dress, suits, tuxedositos if you want. Yeah. So I'm like, let me just go to the final frontier.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Let me go to the printed invitation. Printed invitation, attire, black tie. No other information. Black tie. That's all it says. Two words, black tie. Nothing. That is three different sets of information.
Starting point is 00:25:14 The bride. You think that like the invites could be wrong, I guess. The website could definitely be wrong. I'm asking the bride herself and she's like, Friday is a white party and Saturday is talented Mr. Ripley vibes. No one knows what that means. Right. Meanwhile, I'm going to show up in a linen set on Saturday night.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Everybody will be in ball gowns and tuxedos. Have you talked to her? No. I feel like this is over. I was just going to back when I worked back. I actually feel like, I'm not going to go. This friendship is over. No, I mean, but how do you know now?
Starting point is 00:25:46 What are you trusting? I'm going to trust my own gut. Black tie. Friday night, I bought a white dress. It's linen. It's a linen white dress. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Are you going to do that floral for Saturday? It feels like a cocktail dress. Yeah, like an Italian summer cocktail dress. Black tie for women is more open to interpretation than men. Yes. Like so much so. Yes. Like stuff that can really also kind of fall into cocktail and black tie attire for women.
Starting point is 00:26:15 I sort of interpret black tie for a wedding in the summer. Floor length. Floor length. Yeah. But like really could be a lot of things. You're not going to get in trouble. I'm not going to get in trouble. Totally.
Starting point is 00:26:25 If I wore a linen set, I might have. Yeah. If you wore that white linen. I mean. I got to share it. you, I googled talented Mr. Ripley because no one knows what that means. It's not even like she referenced a really famous movie
Starting point is 00:26:35 like The Godfather. Right. No one knows what that means. It's just giving like Hampton Sheik. Which you could have just said that, you know. Nope. And she said preppy sexy vibes. That's not sexy either. Yeah. That's Coastal Grandma. Yeah. Oh my God. This is so funny. I mean, we just, this is not even dragging her
Starting point is 00:26:53 at all. It's so her and so funny. Yeah. She would be like, he-he-he-ha-ha-ha. Can you believe it? She'd see people in white linen at her wedding and she'd be like, oh my God. That's so funny. She would be zero percent offended. Yeah. I just,
Starting point is 00:27:09 I can't stop laughing at it. Yeah, she would be zero percent offended. And Jeremy, I was like, you need to bring a tux for this wedding. He's like, I'm not doing that. I was like, you need to at least bring a suit. And he was like, I have like a linen suit. That's what I'm wearing. I bought that and that's when I'm wearing pink on Friday night.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Jeremy's going to Jeremy. Jeremy. Also, if you're getting on a plane and you're flying for me like 11 hours to go to something. I'm pretty much going to wear what I want to wear. I'm going to wear what's comfy. Like this isn't high maintenance that she's kind of trying to over explain the vibes, but she probably doesn't really care.
Starting point is 00:27:38 She just picked off wrong days. Well, yeah. But it's funny because there is no white party. There is no white party is made up. She said white party. And this is just like coastal shake. Yeah. Pick a neutral.
Starting point is 00:27:53 And then Jeremy tried to sell me on the fact that pink is a neutral. He's like, yeah, neutrals. And I was like, it's pink, Jeremy. And he's like, pink's a neutral. And I was like, well, no, absolutely it's not. But a really, really pale pink you could probably get away with a thing if the tire was neutrals. I get really pale, linen. Yeah, like almost white.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Yeah. Pastel, if you will. Yeah. Like, Essie, let's be friends. Bobble math. Well, wish me luck. Okay. Stay tuned.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Well, we are so excited for Jared today. extra long episode, but it will be worth every second. It's so funny. We were just dying. But before that, I'm going to talk to you guys about quints. Okay, I have to say, Raina, white dresses are one of the trends of the summer. So you were sending me, like, which three you were going to choose from. And, like, I just want to say that, like, that's the summer must have. And Quince has so many cute ones. So I was just on their site. And this is really such a go-to for high-quality vacation essential. So if we're just talking about trips that you might want to take, you're going to want all of the quince essentials like the premium European linen dresses,
Starting point is 00:28:58 blouses and shorts, starting at just $30, the washable silk tops. You know, I love the silk dresses too, premium luggage options and so much more. And quince items are priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. They cut the cost of the middleman. They partner directly with top factories. And they only work with factories that use safe ethical and responsible manufacturing practices and premium fabrics and finishes, which we love. So white dresses, I went ahead and I searched all dresses by white.
Starting point is 00:29:20 You have like eight to ten amazing options, flowing. flowy, romantic, gorgeous dresses, some other things I saw on their site that we haven't really talked about before. They have really cute Apple Watch bands. Like if you have an Apple Watch and you want to dress it up, this trapeze cross-body bag, I love. Their bags are incredible. I'm obsessed with their bags, sunglasses, all these amazing things on top of all the clothes. And again, the prices like really can't be beat. And they are going to be so good for your vacation essentials. You're just going to pack all the stuff and bring it. And you're going to look so great. And so much stuff that can kind of mix and match. Like I always like to pack with like a color palette in mind and just

Starting point is 00:30:38 in my cabinet right now i'm going to bring them with me on the trip their probiotic was invented by phd scientist to tackle rough mornings after drinking so here's how it works when you drink alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut and this byproduct not dehydration is to blame for your rough next day. So the pre-alcohol produces an enzyme and it breaks down the byproduct. So I just can't recommend it enough. They come in these like little vials.
Starting point is 00:31:02 The taste is good. It's just quick, easy. You just drink one right before you go out for a night of drinks and it just really fixes you right up. Yeah. If you don't know about zibiotics and you're just curious, that's how you take them. They're just these tiny little things. They're TSA approved super tiny amount and just like throw them back. You don't need to mix them with anything.
Starting point is 00:31:18 I'll go out and he'll do little cheers and we'll just throw them back. Yeah. I like the little vials they come in there. They're nice. Totally. So yeah, I first gave it a try when they became a partner of the show. And I love it.

Starting point is 00:32:40 We'll do the replay. Play the replay, the most awkward interaction of all time. How could you forget? Now I remember my hair extensions. I think about it every night. I can never forget. I'll never forget my entire. It's my 9-11.
Starting point is 00:32:54 our missed fist bump never forget and if you were new here basically Jared was making the motion of a merging into traffic steering wheel simply
Starting point is 00:33:08 just a fist went in the air and I went in for a connection you went in for a fist bump and I like we stopped the show we physically stopped the show it was full on like we have to acknowledge this you know
Starting point is 00:33:22 it's such a pleasure I love coming on this show. I love chopping it up with you guys. I mean, we did a podcast for two hours before. We even started taping. We were talking that shit, yeah. I know. I'm always like, can we get in the studio and tell the jokes there?
Starting point is 00:33:35 So you've been making fun of me about something all morning? All morning. I don't know this. I go, Raina, a perfect host, I walk in. Do you want coffee or water? I go, I love a coffee. She goes, I only got iced coffee. I go, I'm an ice coffee guy.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I love it. If someone wanted an ice coffee, and you were like, I would love an ice coffee, and then came up to you, She gave me a mason jar glass, as I was seeing on YouTube. Right. And it was just filled to the brim with cold coffee. No ice.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Are you out of your mind? Wait, what? Thank you. It was like up. It was like a cosmo. Right. Espresci martine. Not the espresso martini.
Starting point is 00:34:14 She was like, here's your virgin espresso martini. Right. You know how I was going to say that I can't breathe. And I go hot. Like no ice could fit. There wasn't even a thought. of ice. I go, are you a maniac?
Starting point is 00:34:27 What is, I go, where's the ice? She goes, it's cold already. I was like, cold already. And then she brought this bullshit, cheap skate persona. She goes, I don't want the ice watering down the coffee. I can make that decision, miss.
Starting point is 00:34:44 So Rayna's just straight up and drinking coffee straight up in her home. Straight up. You never knew this. Listen. Did you know this? Tessa, that's crazy, right? Tessa, I will hire you if she fires you for this.
Starting point is 00:35:02 That's a crazy way to serve someone's coffee. Ashley, you've never made me feel more loved. I just came my pants from Ashley looking at Raina. Your opinion of her has changed today. It's also like if you have weird coffee behavior. But if you have secret weird kinks, you still should know what's normal. I'm so deep into the kinks. I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Listen, I take it out of the fridge. I just put those. a cold coffee in a cup and I drink it. You defended it though. That's how I drink it. No, no, no, no. If I was like, hey, what room am I staying in? You're like, oh, this is the guest bedroom and there was just no pillows on the bed. Yes, it's a raw dog move.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Yeah, I sleep with no pillows. I'd be like, well, okay, crazy. I don't like to water it down. I hate when you get a coffee and it's just water at the bottom. Listen, I'm a big ice guy. I was like, this is a house of ours. I don't know. Cold coffee, no ice?
Starting point is 00:35:54 I'm a quick drinker though. So like I consume it. It's cold by the comment. I'm surprised you've never noticed this because you're here all the time. Maybe I only drink my coffee anymore. But maybe I just thought it was melted. Right. Yeah, you probably did.
Starting point is 00:36:04 See, we're different in that case. Let me take it back because I'm Jared Sipsstein. You're still sipping on that. Always sipping. So I'm a hot coffee slut, you know, even in the summer. Like I'm always, I think you're one of two types of people. I can appreciate an ice. Don't get it twisted.
Starting point is 00:36:17 It's not like I won't do it. But I want to drink hot coffee. And I want to sip it for hours. And so I had to get this like mug. that is like Bluetooth connected to keep it. You can buy it now on vibes only. Put it against your clit. Get you right off.
Starting point is 00:36:36 That is the next product. Heat your coffee. Get you off. It's also a cock ring. Yes, collab with Ember. We'll have the vibes only Ember collab. Don't tell Rob. He'll like fly to Germany.
Starting point is 00:36:49 He'll be like, I found the perfect dildo coffee warmer. That is so funny. The coffee cock ring. It'll tell you a sexual erotic tale. Right behind your head there's a coffee cup with a dildo in it. Yes, we're halfway there. That's a dildo?
Starting point is 00:37:02 It's a vibrator. It's actually the Ashley vibrator. I was like, I know a dildo. We usually don't use the word dildo. Raina just went back in time. Do you guys sell a dildo? No, I do it for comedic effect. Well, what do you consider a dildo?
Starting point is 00:37:11 It doesn't vibrate. It's just a big day. You could wave it around. Oh, we have one on the shelf. Is this what you consider a dildo? That's a dildo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at the balls.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Who's it fashioned after? Did you get a male? Vanian as hell. I mean, my God. I don't know. This guy's been in the gym. Vascular. That is so funny.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Well, the point of those. Is that like a big deal to have the veins? I mean, I can make it look lifelike. People think it feels like the ridges of a penis, I guess. That's so big. It's crazy. Yeah, that's not a thing. This is wild.
Starting point is 00:37:46 It's, we had it on stage. We want people to see it from the balcony. This is a comedic effect. Yeah, exactly. because I was going to say. It was a joke. Yeah, I'm a strong medium. This is not, this is like an Excel.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I love a medium. All I've ever wanted is a medium. I don't need anything more than that. Tessa just caught that dildo like she was back on tour. She's getting ready. She's training. That was very, like, training day. She's stretching out.
Starting point is 00:38:08 The rush she just got. She was like, that brings me right back to the tour. But it sounds like we're similar temperature-wise. Yeah, you and I, when it gets Luke, when it gets room temperature, are you just like, I'm done with the coffee? So here's, and here's another move I do. Okay. Once it gets totally,
Starting point is 00:38:22 Room temp, lukewarm. I've had my hot coffee for the day, but I still have some leftover, ice in it. I would do that. You and I, bring it in for a fist bump. Let's get it right. I blew it up at the end. I matched your energy.
Starting point is 00:38:36 That's called being polite. Because Ashley pulled back and did this, and I was like, okay, I'm joining you. I was doing a bit. I'm late, but I loved it. I loved it. And yes, that's how I do my coffee. Okay, yours looks bad to me.
Starting point is 00:38:49 This one? It's a little watery. Like, I feel turned off. by coffee when it's watery at the bottom and I would throw that out. Listen, you're either an Ashley or a Raina. Yeah, more Ashley's fun more Raina's friend. Okay, Jared, let's just do a quick life update with you, anything going on, single dating. I'm drinking every night.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Okay. Love in a teeny on a Tuesday. Yeah. Really martini, like double downing on a martina. You are very impressive. You are really productive and get a lot done and you're a hard worker and you drink a lot. Tess is laughing. What are really laughing at that.
Starting point is 00:39:21 You go, you are really impressive. I just heard Tessa birth out laughing. She's like, I don't disagree. I'm like, does Tessa think I'm an alcoholic or is this the way Ashley's saying? She actually said she's laughing because of the face that I made, but Ashley said you're impressive. I didn't see a cut. Why? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:37 I think you're impressive too. I love you. Well, Jared, no. I have too much energy. That's not what I thought was going to come out of Ashley's mouth. I wasn't just going to jerk Jared off. This is drinking related. He was like, I like Martinez.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Ashley was like, you are very impressive. That's what my face was about. But like, do you not get hangovers or do you feel sad? I get anxiety. I get sadness. But you do a lot for awesome partying a lot. I need, and I don't party as much. Like, I'm just like, I'm trying to rethink my drinking life.
Starting point is 00:40:05 You know, like, I think I would love to like be a once a weaker, but then I'm like, can I ever be? I guess you don't have a lot of nights at home by yourself. I think you're like at the cellar most nights. You're on the road. So like, I was going to ask you, like, have a cocktail at home. But like, you're out almost every night, right? You're a social drinker. It's more social.
Starting point is 00:40:22 But if you socialize seven days a week. Yeah. Right. That's hard. I'm kind of like at my most kind to myself place. I'm like, yeah, I'm Jared, maybe like let's ease off there because I do like waking up early. I do think like dating wise, like as a single person, like I think like at 39 you want to be around the people that you're like looking to attract. And like I'm not looking to attract 2 a.m. 26.
Starting point is 00:40:50 at a bar person. Right. And that's, that person's right for being there. That's not a judgment. It is a judgment, because I'm judging everybody. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:00 But it's not what I'm looking to do or who I'm looking to meet. So I've been thinking about that and just kind of the lifestyle I want to lead. So that's what's going on like personally and I'm just traveling a lot. Like this is the end of like a nice little run.
Starting point is 00:41:12 So I'm like very happy to just be like chilling. It's your birthday episode. We haven't even brought this up. Oh my gosh. Well, obviously we saved. Well, We say we even move someone for you. Like, this is a special day.
Starting point is 00:41:24 I have to say, I want to say thank you for having me done. I like being in the family. Okay, well, Jared, what do you feel like is the dating vibe right now? Are you seeing stuff in your algorithm or in your own life? It's IRL. I think, like, we got a zig while people are zagging. I haven't been on a dating app since the summer, last summer. And I got to say, I don't think there's like a need for the amount of people that
Starting point is 00:41:50 we're sifting through. And like I can understand at a different age. I'd be like, I want to see them all and swipe everybody. But I think like I have this yearn for slowing it down. Too many options? It's too many distractions. It's not even an option. It's a distraction.
Starting point is 00:42:08 I think in the summer when you're out with your friends, I'm trying to like, this is like holistic. Do you know what I mean? Like don't you want to meet someone in person and have it be exciting? and we asked our audience, like what are their summer goals and like what can we do to help them achieve them? And overwhelmingly it was I want to meet people in the wild. Right. But where are the guys and how can I shoot my shot?
Starting point is 00:42:31 That's something I've been thinking about like, where are men? Because I get asked from women. Where are men? We're asking. I can't have them all, ladies. You know, so you guys know, we have the crossover we have is like, you know, I'm like a sibling to a lot of people that listen to this show and my show and both bars. And I feel that. I love that actually. And they're like, where are guys? And I'm like, I don't even know where men go. Like, because I was thinking of like, like, what I'm in a bar?
Starting point is 00:43:02 I'm alone on my phone. Like, someone could come up and talk to me and I'd be like happy to have the conversation. I'm just thinking of like, where are the 30 year olds in New York City? I'm like, I don't know. I don't mean to be negative. I'm just saying like, well, if it's not one specific spot, it's everywhere then. Go to bars. Be social. say yes to stuff, you have to put yourself in scenarios to meet people. Right, but you know, here's the thing, men don't get together for like a dinner.
Starting point is 00:43:27 If you go to a dinner spot, you will never see two men sitting across the table. Gabe Malica, funny comic, he has a one-man show about male friendship and he talked about this with me a little bit about like men don't hang out face-to-face, they hang out shoulder to shoulder. So like I think that's a very
Starting point is 00:43:42 interesting thing when you're thinking of like, how do I find men in the wild? You're just not going to go to a dinner spot that you love and see a bunch of... Go look at any dinner spot. Thursday night, all women. But I do find it a little more approachable, the shoulder to shoulder.
Starting point is 00:43:56 If two guys are sitting next to each other at a bar, more approachable for me. Yeah. I'm not going to like a restaurant in section T3. I don't know that I'm going to find my guy. Right, right? It's not a very easy way to go up to some.
Starting point is 00:44:05 But I'm saying like, where do they go out? You know, like, I know where I'm out, but I'm also like... At 39, I'm thinking of, like, my friends. Like, you know, especially New York right now. Like, there's a divide between ages. Like, it's either very very... very young or very old.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Like this in between the pandemic, like, it's a good point. It used to be, right, it used to be like, remember in New York when you've got there, those people would get married and have a baby, but they'd be like, once the kid's too big for the apartment, we'll move out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:32 The pandemic, like, they were like, we're out. Yeah. There's no get big for the shell. Like, we're not going to hermit crab this shit. We're out of here. And then what ended up happening is, is now, like, my friends who would be with the baby in the bar, I'm not with them anymore.
Starting point is 00:44:46 So it's like, where did those single, guys go that would have been with the couple that you can feel safe going up to because they got married friends and they're in that space of life it's a little bit more alone or an oddball now. I do believe that. I mean, a couple things.
Starting point is 00:45:02 This is not a hot take, but I think like the places women want to go and have like a sexy outfit and a little cocktail are not where guys are going. So let's just remind ourselves of that. This like image you got from some movie that you're going to put on some trendy outfit and go have a martini and be approached by
Starting point is 00:45:18 at the bar. He's not there. They're just not there. But I think it's like thinking about where men are maybe even by day or by afternoon, like where they work. Like, you know, not every city is New York or like New York, but I used to see a lot of guys just at Hillstone. You know, like, where some
Starting point is 00:45:34 women might be like, that's not the trendiest restaurant in the moment, but he's not there. Right. I think also timing of day, like daytime hangs are very much, and I said this, I mean, I gave this advice and, you know, I said, go to a football game. Go to a bar and watch a football game.
Starting point is 00:45:50 The thing is, people, when they ask for advice, they want the exact answer. And I'm like, no, go have fun in a football game. I've been saying this for years. Go have fun and just be there. It's just a hop and bar. Go to a hop and bar for a football game. Right now, basketball playoffs, June, it's going to be the finals. People want to be with something going on an event.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I'd be a blue haven't every day in New York City if I wanted to meet a man. Go to the sports bar. Go to a sports bar. And, like, I saw on TikTok, like, some women were, like, wearing the jerseysys of the team. that's fun too. I think that's great. But I think just like having fun with your friends. And I think like the thing men get a lot of shit for,
Starting point is 00:46:27 which I'm not here to defend men. I'm not here to like say don't make fun of men. Make fun of us. It's fucking deserved. It's okay. The thing that gets made fun of it, you'll see a dating app. There's a TikTok out there.
Starting point is 00:46:37 And it was very funny of all these men being like, don't take yourself too seriously. And you see like 30,000 guys saying don't take yourself too seriously. It's in every single guy's like dating app. profile. It's like the girl I'm looking for is and doesn't take herself too seriously. Oh, it's a thing. It's a thing. Don't take yourself too seriously. I heard,
Starting point is 00:46:55 I listened to your show when you guys were talking about when you're dressed down. Yeah. And how men come up to you when you're not wearing the sexy. So like, let's hear what people are saying. If you're looking for answers, if you're not looking for answers, I don't give a fuck, it's okay. But you know,
Starting point is 00:47:11 but if you're looking for answers when someone says don't take yourself too seriously, like they want to meet you in casual settings. You know, so The underlying meaning is. Right. You're fun and you have friends and you hang out. This isn't an appointment. Men love vague options.
Starting point is 00:47:26 So when you're vaguely out with all your friends that, you know, this is an appointment. Let's get a drink Tuesday at 2. Let's have the first date here and now, even though we're not having the first day. It's not a plan. So it's like football, basketball, whatever the event is, I'm trying to think of like. Take a tennis lesson. Rent a tennis court and hit the ball around your girlfriends. Vegas.
Starting point is 00:47:48 All groups of dudes. Vegas is a very male heavy. Go to Vegas and hang with your friends. I want women to remember how, yes, we're the same in a lot of ways, but we're really different in a lot of ways. Like where women want to go out and be with their girlfriends is not where guys would ever go with their guy friends. Even vacation-wise is what I'm saying. No, totally. You're right because Charleston is like Woman Central.
Starting point is 00:48:09 It's like all women. And it's like, and they're all women that are there to like have fun and party, but then all the men are like in college still. Yes. And there's a couple guy groups. but like men go to Vegas for the danger, the adventure, all groups of dudes, the wildness of it all. Women go to Charleston because it's one street, it's a little bit more safe, there's cute restaurants,
Starting point is 00:48:28 you know, you can go, and listen, my buddy owns a bar and he's going in with the Southern Charm guys. They're opening a bar together. Uptown Social, it's a blast. You go on the roof at Uptown Social, you're having a great time. But I understand why women don't go to Vegas. They go, I don't want to be around a bunch of guys that are, you know, sitting there like,
Starting point is 00:48:47 freaking out. And we're not telling women to, like, go hunt men down. Right. But they asked. Where are they? Where are they? Yeah, they're in Vegas. They're at sports things.
Starting point is 00:48:56 You know, I don't, because I think saying to women go golfing, like, that's crazy. But it's a good way to think about it because I actually noticed this at the pool in Vegas. There was not outside of the crazy pool part. We just went to the adult-only pool. And there was big groups of guys there. And they felt really approachable. Okay. We're just going to take a very quick break.
Starting point is 00:49:12 And we'll get right back into it with Jared. I am so excited to tell you guys about this next partner. This was something I was using. before they even became a partner. So I was so excited when this came across our desk. So it is Armra colostrum. And I'm going to tell you a little bit more about it. This is something that can strengthen immunity and gut health,
Starting point is 00:49:27 improve your fitness and metabolism and enhance your skin and hair. So when I was dealing with all my hair issues, someone literally DM me about this. And they were like, try colostrum. I'm like, say what? What does that word be? So immediately I'm Googling it. And Armra is like the number one brand,
Starting point is 00:49:40 thousands and thousands of five-star reviews, literally life-changing testimonials from users. So I was just like, let me get on this and figure out what this is about. So I was getting like testimonials in my DMs without even really asking for this exact thing. So colostrum is the first nutrition we receive in life. It contains all the essential nutrients. Our bodies need in order to thrive. Armora colostrum is a proprietary concentrate of bovine colostrum that harnesses over 400 living bioactive nutrients that strengthen the barriers of your body and fuel cellular health for thousands of research-backed health benefits.
Starting point is 00:50:10 So I know that's a lot of words, but basically it's going to strengthen immunity and your metabolism, fortify your gut health and activate hair growth and skin radians. all these good things. Again, it's premium bovine colostrum concentrate, and they work with sustainably sourced colostrum. They really are trying to do right by the calves that they receive the nutrients from. So it's cows, calves, bovine. That's what that means, guys. My parents live in a farm. And it's going to come in this powder. You're going to throw it in a cold drink, and that's how you're going to get your armor colostrum. And then you're just going to reap those benefits. So like we mentioned before, all of those things. And again, it's going to come in a little these little packets and you're just going to put that in your water or whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:50 There are some different flavors. I have the blood orange flavor. So again, there's flavors and again put it in cold liquids. Or you can just dry scoop it into your mouth. And they say that's great for your oral microbiome. So it's all good. Oh, it can also combat bloating. You feel lighter.
Starting point is 00:51:03 I mean, it's all good. It's like too good to be true. But it's not. So we've worked out a special offer for our audience. You can receive 15% off your first order.

I would say if I was to like plan it out for a woman, and that's always my job. When I come here, I'm the mind of a man and I'm 10% away from your boyfriend. Like I am not far away from a normal Joe or gym you're dealing with. And I would say if you're looking to like meet a guy who's not clouded by whatever garbage is in his head, daytime in a male skewing vacation town.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Because you're going to get daytime safety. You're with your friends. They're with their friends. Their safety in numbers, daylight, all those good things. And you're in a place where they're like, well, you know, we can meet up tonight. And then you don't meet up. You know, you go, I had a great time. I'm out with my friends.
Starting point is 00:53:37 I'll see you back in New York. Let's make a date or not. Yeah. You know, like I think, again, I'm not telling people to travel to, like, you know, like all ends, but like you can do that with, I think like meeting someone during the day and not seeing them until the next week is like the move. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Like if you're looking for structure, I don't like rules, but like I'm at my best when I'm with my friends during the day. I'm also not like, there's no thought of like, maybe I'll get this girl to go home with me at five o'clock. Like at 2 a.m. Yeah. That's a different vibe.
Starting point is 00:54:09 I like the energy at that time. Right. I love nothing better. than a 3 p.m. Good to meet you. Here's my number, got to go. Yeah, you know what someone looks like in the daylight. Right.
Starting point is 00:54:20 And you're at your best. I think, like, we have to remember, like, I'm with my friends. The initial, again, not take myself too seriously. I'm here to be hang out with my friends and have fun. I think we forget that. I forget that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:32 But bring friends with you also. Like, I always met guys in Domino Park in Brooklyn. It's just, it's condensedly packed. Yeah. Or it's densely packed. Tensely. Tensely. That's so you.
Starting point is 00:54:44 It's condensedly fact. I was going to go with you. Just throw back granted. It's not like Central Park. It's so like like, like Central Park is so like condensed. And so you're just on top of everybody. And so you go with like a couple friends. I never like didn't meet a guy in that park.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Right. And I think like what do you say? Now that now what do you say. Okay. What's the plan today? Keep it open ended. What's the plan today? Love it.
Starting point is 00:55:07 What's wrong with that? I, you know, love your shoes. What's the plan today? Where'd you get them? I have the same ones. I don't know. Compliments and open-ended questions. I think we get too, I'm not a negative, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:55:21 I don't think this idea of like playing coy, what's the plan today? Oh, we're doing this. Or they have nothing. And you're like, okay, I'm turned off. You have nothing going on, you know? Yeah, or they're waiting for an invite. Yeah. Then they're open.
Starting point is 00:55:33 So we got an email from somebody saying basically, like I've been in a long-term relationship. I don't remember how to do this anymore. I'm out of it now. I don't want to seem like thirsty and desperate and weird and try-hard. And I think that's everybody's self-talk. I've been done this in a long time. I've been thinking I'm so weird and gross and crazy
Starting point is 00:55:48 and how dare I approach them. So, like, talk to me about that, like, self-talk. Two things I say to every newly single person. You are newly single, you are not newly human. Okay. What you think is weird as a relationship person is still weird as a single person. It weird is weird.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Okay? Stop being like, well, I've never been single. I guess I just have to receive these dick. picks and be okay with it. No. I guess that's how it is now. I hate those people. Right. I guess that's how it is in 2024. Take your blog out the door. I don't need your, you know, your new hot takes on dating. No, no, no. You just, you don't have your mojo anymore sometimes. In your head, you think you don't have your mojo now. Right. And it's okay. You don't. Yeah. You haven't spoken to someone who you're not sure if they like your naked body or not
Starting point is 00:56:36 in a long time. Right. I get, look, all my relationship guy friends, all my friends that have been in relationship married for all these years. No one's more confident than them. They got wife confidence. Well, I feel like that. I've said to Raina, like, I'm in this relationship. I'm free from the male gaze. Like, I don't have to ever care. You know, like, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:57 I think that not always, but speaking from personal experience, like, it doesn't matter if you feel like you're not looking, you're always thinking about it. You're always thinking like, well, what if I do meet someone today at the grocery store? What if I do meet someone when I go out? To be, like, freed completely? It feels, it's nice. Well, don't you feel like I would wonder. or like, and I feel this way whenever I've been in a relationship, I'm like, I'm so myself
Starting point is 00:57:17 right now. Yes. And then you go, and then you have people who are like, man, every conversation is easy. Like, I wish I kind of, you had of a moment where you're like, I wish I kind of acted this way when I was single that I was like my most confident me. Right. If you could manufacture it and put it into your single cell. I wish I could drink it with ice.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Yeah. Bottle it. I become, I was saying to her, when a man tells me that they're married or they're in a serious relationship, I become this great version of myself because I'm like, you might as well be my brother. I'm not interested in you, so I am just the most normal, natural, I'm not thinking about it because you are not a prospect. You might as well be a relative
Starting point is 00:57:52 of mine. And I become this great version of me where I'm just like light and free and it's easy. But being single and being out, there is always this opportunity of like, am I talking to my next boyfriend? Yeah, you can't not think it. And you're just in your head of like, is this person thinking I'm like funny or hot or cool?
Starting point is 00:58:07 I have that on the first few dates too, where I'm like, am I doing a podcast? right now. Like you've ever been on, you've, you've had guests here, you've had great guests like me, you've had some guests that you've probably had to be like, got to put this one on my back and get to the end? Yeah. And I'm like, where in between is this date? You know, where is this date on the spectrum of great guest, Jared Freed, or person you got to put on your back? Lewis House. I've just said the name. I have that in my own life where I'm like, I'm on this date. And I'm like, am I carrying them or are we carrying each other?
Starting point is 00:58:42 Right. And I'm like, I wish I was just my most self right now. I wish I could like be like just like, are you having fun? You know, like, you want to like, and I am that way. You got to get yourself into this headspace of like, I don't care. Like you've got to lower the stakes in your mind of like this doesn't matter. And to me that is what happens to my body when a man says to me like I'm married. Then I'm just like, well, there are no stakes here.
Starting point is 00:59:04 Pressure's off. So like you have to mentally lower the stakes and just say like if I walk up to somebody and say like, what are you getting into today? And they're like, you suck and you're, that I'm just like, I don't care. Are you, Rayna, you've got to have this issue too, though. What? I've like, you're a fun person. I'm a really good time, yeah. Right. So you're like, am I having fun because I'm fun?
Starting point is 00:59:22 I'm sure am. But I'm saying like, what differentiates? I'm not bombing, you're bombing. Right. I do think that like we're usually having fun because I'm making it fun. And if it's not fun, I'm going to make it fun. But I actually do check in with myself pretty well and I'm able to say, like, this was fun because of me. Then you end it with that
Starting point is 00:59:39 person, they're like, well, we're having fun. You can't. Yeah, you had fun because I was fun. Right. Well, I don't know. You know. Ashley, one time she did, I was like, how's your date? She's like, he really liked me. I know, I said he had a great time. Right. Well, I think like the anxiety I have and I think it's okay for anyone out there that's new to dating to have the anxiety of like, am I being me? I think that's the hardest part of like going into your dating life. And it's like, is this weird? It's like, yeah, you're not, you're an adult who has opinions. If you feel
Starting point is 01:00:07 weird, it's weird. I think that's to any new dater. And it's also like you gotta go kind of go have fun with people you're not trying to date. Because I think like that's just a really good way to get your levels. Like sometimes I lose my levels of like
Starting point is 01:00:23 Of the opposite sex you mean? Of what I, what tastes good to me. The relationships in my life that taste filling. You know, I like hang out my parents and I go to my parents in Boca and hang out with my brother and his wife and my parents.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Yeah. Whenever we spend time together, I'm like, oh, that was satiating. You know, like, I have that thought a lot. And I'm like, now I'm trying to, like, compare that to, like, feelings on, am I getting the satiating feeling I'm getting there? Yeah. You said you say two things to people. One is you're still human and what's the second?
Starting point is 01:00:55 You're still human and if you think it's weird, it's weird. It's weird. Okay. And the second is to go hang out with family and friends. Do you think? Go hang out with people who fill your cup. You're the best, the most you with. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:03 I think that's the biggest fear is that you're going to seem. hard and someone is going to look at you and literally go, I really don't want you around here. Don't you think that's good? Do you think it is? I want people to hate me as much as they love me. Right. You know, I want to be hated or loved.
Starting point is 01:01:18 I don't want to be, oh, he's nice. Oh, kill me. If you think I'm nice, oh, a nice guy. Right. Immediately know you're not someone's tight. Move on to the next. Right. Let's get out of here.
Starting point is 01:01:28 You know, be turned off, turned on. Yes. But, you know, you got to get wet. Remind yourself stakes are low. I think that's important. Like this person didn't know you two seconds ago and if they don't like you, that's fine. It's not really a judgment call on you. Right. And also like men, if you're a woman out there, like, we're so simple. Like,
Starting point is 01:01:43 like this dating advice thing, like I've been talking about dating for like over a decade. People were like, who do you know? And I'm like, it's not much to know. You know, like, guy who's out with you, he's attracted, wants to fuck you. Hasn't thought beyond that. That's it. You know, this idea. Penis doesn't let man leave the house. Right. Know that. Simple. Strong dictator. Not going to let you. you leave. Now, if you're on a day with someone they're attracted you, you know it. They'd love to fuck.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Beyond that, they're going to want to know afterwards, like, is this a match? But that's down the road. So I think you have to understand that, like, the men you're dealing with are simple. Yeah. I also like, I think the, we're talking about being on a first date or second date, even with somebody and being like,
Starting point is 01:02:31 am I being myself, am I having fun? Am I doing a podcast right now? But it goes back to, like, that's why it's good to me. People during the day when you're out with your friends. Right. Like you're already yourself. Like, I'm just thinking about someone coming up to me during a daytime hang. Like the way I would immediately just be myself.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Like, why would, I wouldn't even have time to get into my head and be like, oh, no, all this pressure. Like, you will be more yourself in a casual setting anyway. Totally agree. And also, I have this thing called the aunt theory that I've been saying for years. Okay. Never said on this show. Have I never said it?
Starting point is 01:03:04 The on theory. And this is, again, I understand. I understand how disgusting this is going to sound, but I'm taking you inside the mind of a man. We get asked all the time, are these guys on dating apps just doing this to everyone? And I don't want to minimize the danger involved. Cat callers become people who get aggressive, who end up be, you know,
Starting point is 01:03:27 I'm acknowledging that that can go a horrific way. But cat callers at their core are like, I'm going to do this 100 times. It only has to work once. So there's a lot of people on dating apps, and this is why I've kind of gone away from the dating apps, and I'm always like, dating apps are for nerds. They're for people who, and I say nerds lovingly,
Starting point is 01:03:46 I don't mean it in the way to be mean, but dating apps are for people who need crutches for their social life. I don't need crutches for my social life. I'm a pretty social, but I'm out seven nights a week. You're out seven nights a week. Dating apps are for, I can't get out of the house, or it's really tough for me to approach people in public. I need the little bit of help that a dating app,
Starting point is 01:04:07 because you never get turned down on a dating app. Dating app you swipe left, that's a no, swipe right. It's a yes, you either get a match right away. And if you don't get a match, what do you think? Guess they haven't seen me yet. Right. So you never get turned down openly on a dating app. So it's for people who couldn't handle getting turned down.
Starting point is 01:04:24 All of us are social people that can have discussions with people we disagree with, we agree with. You know, that is a beautiful thing for us. And so you don't need the dating app, necessarily. Well, I also want to qualify what you're saying. You're saying that's the way that they work. It's designed for those type of people. Not that if you're using it, you're a
Starting point is 01:04:41 fucking nerd. Because I think we all... Able people, I'm sorry to interrupt, but able people are using it when they don't need. That's what I wanted you to round it out with. Because I think people are like, what are you saying about me? But the point is like, that's probably why you don't like it. Right. Like, that's why I don't like it. That's why you don't like it. Also, like, I've been
Starting point is 01:04:57 on great dates from Hinge and whatnot, and we really like love the luxury of having these dating apps. they've like transformed dating this and that. So it's like, you know. No, it gets you out of that. Listen. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:07 But like that's why it hasn't worked for me. As at its core, a dating app was invented by Zuckerberg types. Right. Yes. Low social people. People who don't want to be social. They were like, how do I gamify this? Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:24 To get myself out there to fuck. Yes. Men, male nerds created dating apps. It wasn't me, the jocks. Me, Travis Kelsey. I was jock. us Not Trevin
Starting point is 01:05:38 Us buff Us buff winners But this is so true Raina said it's his day one She's not for her It's okay And that's okay But I shine
Starting point is 01:05:47 First of all I have access To a lot of people Ashton out a lot We travel a lot My job is very social Now everybody has that I do think I'm more confident Than the average person
Starting point is 01:05:56 Because of the show also I just I realize again The stakes are low I'm gonna approach somebody They're gonna say like Ooh get the fuck out of here My day is just going to continue, just like it was. I don't give a shit.
Starting point is 01:06:06 But that's not what happens, too. No, that's never happened to me. People think it's charming or they put me in the eye, I want to fuck you or I want to be friends with you bucket. And my life goes on. It's okay. Yeah. And it's okay.
Starting point is 01:06:15 And, you know, the dating apps also allow for people to act wildly. So, you know, the aunt theory came from the idea that, like, on a dating app, you have no connection to this person other than I swiped yes. so people act a little bit less themselves, a little bit less polite. They say things that are a little bit more wild than they normally say. The beauty of meeting someone during the day
Starting point is 01:06:41 and amongst their friends and amongst your friends is now you're finding aunts because if I was ever fixed up by my aunt and she said, how'd it go with Raina? And I was like, oh, she blew me and then I haven't texted her back since. My aunt... My aunt...
Starting point is 01:06:58 My aunt would go, are you out of your mom? Mine? Are you a disgusting animal? I go, Aunt Lisa, what are you talking about? It's me, Jared. You know I get blown and don't text back? And she'd be like, you're horrific. The whole family is going to know you're horrific. Accountability. So the thing is with the friends. Esther Perel, you guys have had her on this show. We had her on you up. She brought up about like hiding your friends from people. And I was like, this is the aunt theory. You want your friends and to see, if someone can't handle you with your friends, they're never going to handle you
Starting point is 01:07:33 or be a good partner to you. Marilyn Monroe said that first. I'm kidding. If you can't handle me with my friends. Oh, right. If you can't handle me at my friend group. That was Travis Kelsey actually. Travis, it was a shock came up with that.
Starting point is 01:07:51 But that's the thing is like now you've created aunts for yourself because you're meeting them amongst other people. And like I love this. Yeah, I really love it. I also love a day drunk. There's nothing better than a beer on the beach. Yes.
Starting point is 01:08:05 A little teeny at the pool. Yeah. Iceless coffee by the spa. I love it. Bluetooth vibrate a month. I speak with a lot of like you have to become, I think, you know, there's an age where you become more holistic with these things. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:19 And I mean, it's, listen, we like know great social dope people who met on Hinge or whatever the fuck. But like, it does seem like a little more rare. everyone wants to know how to do it better in the wild. Right. And it's the thing is the apps, if they're not a piece of your pie, then it's too much. It has to be a piece of your pie. The apps can be a little sliver.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Right. Like I actually have thought, I've given out this advice many times where it's, why wouldn't you just download the app Wednesday and be like, I'm deleting it Wednesday night? I'm going to have a date with myself with the app. Get dressed up. Download the app and do an hour with it, like on a Wednesday night. and your goal for that hour is to match someone, have a quick conversation, and go on a date on Thursday.
Starting point is 01:09:04 Now you've made it one night where it's you on the couch with wine. It is a directed thing. It's not just you doing it on the circle of like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. You've put it down to this, reduces this one moment where you get to have a fun date with yourself. Glass of wine on the couch or swiping. Or with a friend. Or with a friend.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Yeah. And then by the end of that hour, you take your matches and you go through them. say some hellos, and maybe you download the next week and you come back to it and have another date with it. But reducing it down to one hour a week, I think is really helpful. I've thought about that a lot. I like it a lot. A date with the app, not the person. It's really measurable.
Starting point is 01:09:44 It gives you a time frame. I actually asked Hallie Colbert to come over one day, and I was like, you want to just write to people with me. You and I've done that on my mind. You set aside an hour, this is what I'm doing, glass of wine. The goal is to date tomorrow. It's really measurable. And here's the other thing, going back to the men being like, like don't take yourself so seriously.
Starting point is 01:10:01 I'm free tomorrow night, let's do it. Now you're in casual. You don't have to be casual. This doesn't have to be a casual day. You still want a plan. People want this light on, light off thing, especially women. Women want, I want you to love me or chop off my fucking head. And you have to find a way to train yourself, to give yourself that opportunity because
Starting point is 01:10:22 guys want nothing less than those two things. They want vague options. So how do I play? into that a little bit where you go, I'm open Thursday after work, here's the time, you name the place and I'm in. You name the place and I'm in, now they have the opportunity
Starting point is 01:10:40 to get you a little wet by making a plan. Totally. You kind of, you know, you put the dildos down. Now it's up to him to use the tool. Put the dildo on the table. This is my line now. This is Maya Angelou once said, put the dildo on the table.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Now you get me wet. That's what the great Miami. I love this game plan for meeting people. You're going to go out with a group of friends. You're going to be with people that you love, that you're your best self with. You're going to walk somebody and say, hey, what's up? How are you? Low Stakes.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Or you're going to set an hour aside for yourself with a glass of wine or a little tequila on the rocks. There we go. What are we doing tomorrow? But this is like this episode, we kind of wanted to have this like dating for summer theme. And what better time? Like this is when we're outside. We're doing daytime hang. So this is how to do it this summer.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Summer dating is so fantastic because every night of the week is open. Mondays, if it's a bright Monday, you'll get drinks. Yes. We'll push off our problems on Tuesday. Love summer Tuesday. Summer Wednesday. I am like, I'm so high on summer dating. The hard part about summer dating is everyone has their plans and their trips.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Okay? But let's turn your plans and your trips into opportunities to meet people. Vacation dating? Nothing better. Well, you're the best version of yourself. The stakes are never been lower. Right. You could often get your mojo and your sex.
Starting point is 01:11:58 sexy picks and feel yourself and come back. That's what happened to our friend. She went on a vacation and came back and got a boyfriend. She was in the right mode. She was feeling really stagnant before that. She went on vacation. She, you know, hooked up with some random dude. But it, like, got her mojo back.
Starting point is 01:12:12 That's never going to happen for a guy, by the way. This is not good guy advice. We talked about it. I went to Europe alone and I didn't speak to one woman. I literally was like, is you're okay? It's a female thing. Okay, just to be clear. Yes.
Starting point is 01:12:23 I've never heard of a man going on a little eat, pray, love vacation and getting his mojo back. This is for women only. No woman in Europe is waiting to meet me. Okay? I found this out the hard way. No woman in Europe is like, ooh, I can't wait to meet a guy in new balances. Ooh, where's my American man? Yeah, and a jersey.
Starting point is 01:12:42 Well, Jared, didn't you go to, like, Nice? You went to the place where everybody's on a romantic vacation? Okay, you got to pick the right vacation locations. I know. I should have gone to, like, Daytona Beach, Florida. Key West. Charleston. But alone in Charleston is a little.
Starting point is 01:12:58 Key West. Key West is fun. You got to go where people are looking to meet. You went to the most romantic. I'm on my honeymoon spots. I was like, is Cherno right? It wasn't smart. Yes.
Starting point is 01:13:06 The only drawback is potentially meeting somebody and you lose that momentum because of vacations and everything else. People have planned. But let's take that out of it. Like summer dating is like where it's at. Like you're tan, you feel good. Like you don't feel prettier or hotter any other time of the year. Right.
Starting point is 01:13:22 And you're so right. Monday. That's going to, son's going to set at 9 p.m. We're out. Right. Hey, Sunday, 3 o'clock. I'm gonna go get a spritz. If a woman said that to me,
Starting point is 01:13:31 I'd be fucking half chub. God, I cannot wait for summer. I'm out Sunday, 3 p.m. I'm gonna go out Sunday, 3 p.m. I'm gonna get a spritz. You win? I'd be like, um, did I just cut my pants?
Starting point is 01:13:44 You know, like, I don't know. Fitchie. Fierd rakes back, I'm hard. Your aunt's like, God damn it. Aunt would not approve. Did you ever see that meme that was like, I won a reality show of men having to read their dating up conversations
Starting point is 01:13:57 to their family. Oh, that'd be great. That's so funny. Like, you're the real you. I mean, there's nothing better than reading people's texts out loud. I mean, like,
Starting point is 01:14:05 I've done it on, on your show. Like, it is so, because everyone is a version of themselves in text. Like, all of us.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Sometimes I will, like, reread my text and I think about, like, somebody else reading it in their tone of voice. Oh, my God. If somebody ever got a hold of this.
Starting point is 01:14:19 Well, that's the thing I have to remind myself. My life would be over. Like, when I read it, like, when I read it, like, maybe it's just the tone I'm reading it in my head. Like the way I would read this out loud.
Starting point is 01:14:28 I don't think they've ever read it out loud to themselves. Let me make sure I sound right when they comment on something. Yeah. Well, let's run through two emails with you. Let's do it. We wanted to cover this topic. We just have two that feel a little relevant, one vacation related, one wedding related. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:40 I love vacation drama. I love wedding discussions. Okay. So first one, summertime, we're taking girls trips, which I do think is the perfect way to meet guys, fuck guys, get your mojo back, all that. Daylight hours. Meet you in New York. Make a plant.
Starting point is 01:14:55 And I'm in. Meet you in L.A. Make a plan I'm in. Oh, we're from the same town. Make a plan and I'm in. Repeat this to yourself, ladies. Make a plan and I'm in because that gets you what you want. Chop my head off or love me. Love me. And I also like there's some synergy with the, what's the plan today, opener? What's the plan today?
Starting point is 01:15:14 Oh, you know, my friends and we did a golf thing this morning. Now we're going to this bar and we've got nothing going on tonight. Oh, cool. Here's what we're doing. Oh, what are you guys up to? And also, if you're on a group vacation, here's, What's the plan tonight and what's the makeup of the group? How do you guys know each other? How do you guys know each other?
Starting point is 01:15:31 Well, friend from college. Now you're finding out they went to college, friend from work. Oh, what do you do? Now you got like, you know, instant talking points. Right. I always think groups of girls are attracted to groups of guys. Like, I've never been on a bachelorette and we didn't connect with a bachelor party. Like you sniff each other out and it doesn't have to be bachelor bachelor
Starting point is 01:15:48 parties. Again, it can be, I just keep picturing this like daytime hang in New York, even then we don't live there anymore, but where there's like, those groups of guys and those groups of girls, they sniff each other out. Right. Even in like places that you'd be horrified to go, like, when you go to Nashville and you're like, and someone brings up Broadway, you're like, I'm not a disgusting pig. I'm not going to Broadway. So fun. But Broadway is fucking awesome. And it's big groups. And but like from 16,000 feet, Broadway is disgusting. Right. Like people who live there, if they're in Nashville living there right now, they will walk around
Starting point is 01:16:19 the perimeter. They would do anything to not be on Broadway. But I'm the best for. I'm the best for, version of me with my girlfriends, big bar, do something fun, at Tootsie singing. Absolutely. And some guy looks at you across the room, was like, look at her, just live in life. Right. If I'm, if I'm, native, right. A place like Nashville, if you're visiting, big group, great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:39 If I was a Nashville woman, which I know you guys, a lot of people transplanted are there. If I did like a Saturday day, 10 friends go out to Broadway and like kind of make fun of ourselves and just do it, you're going to find the guy groups that you're going to going to connect with. Again, as a group, group connection is going to be way better than single one person deer that got away from the pack. Take the pressure off. I mean, I like that. I think sometimes we tend to shit on stuff in our city that's like touristy or whatever. Right. Is that where the people are? Right. That's probably where these dudes are. I want to go where the Travis's are. I love that Travis has become
Starting point is 01:17:16 I would, no, I defended Travis from minute one. We're, we're, we're, we're, I got such shit. Really? I went on Dumois's podcast and she was asking about and I said Travis is the book. It went viral. It's on TikTok. I talked about how Travis is a tight end
Starting point is 01:17:32 is the perfect boyfriend for a superstar because a tight end has to block for other people to score and also scores themselves. So who would be better than that profile to be clapping for Taylor and also have his own thing going on
Starting point is 01:17:49 that she can be attracted to as well. I love that metaphor. I've talked about this. And then I go to the comments. It came out. This was last summer, I think. And I was like, because I know that she dates a lot of, like, sensitive actor, you know.
Starting point is 01:18:01 Booth boyfriends. Skinny, whatever, like, theater types. You know, like, and I was like, no, I think you're going to be surprised. And all these comments were like, you know, they wanted to be haters right away. And I think I'm looking them pretty right right now. I'm happy with us jocks. Another win for us. You know, you think you want artsy-fartsy.
Starting point is 01:18:23 And what you realize is that we're all the same dogs. This happened with the Golden Bachelor. And I was like, oh, my God, old man, dead wife. Oh, and I was sitting there the whole season going, Big Dog Gary got to eat. Dog going to bark, lying going to lion. The hate I get is from women who are disappointed to hear the way I say things. To simplify it.
Starting point is 01:18:51 to simplify it and to say like, the idea that like, I hear women talk about their dads, my dad has been an angel. And it's like, your dad's still a dog. Okay. Your dad want to bark. Donald Trump. Your dad.
Starting point is 01:19:07 I'm just saying. Like a dog. Your dad. Big dog got to eat. Big dog going to bark. Like the idea your dad wouldn't have been kind of a dick on a, dating up. Your dad was a dickhead to some other woman. My mom tells me all the time what a scumbag my dad was. He was the best dad in the world to his daughter. My mom was like, your dad was the
Starting point is 01:19:31 fucking worst. I mean, I'm not trying to like vilify your dad. Not to women. I'm just saying like, you know, your boyfriend who's wonderful and awesome, someone out there is like, what a fuck boy. And that's okay. And I'm like, where does my dad get off treating women like that? He's two feet tall. It is crazy to be that short and has such a reputation. Yeah. Listen. Listen, a chihuahua got a bark too. Not the chihuahua. You see a little dog. Yeah, that dog was trying to fuck.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Big dog going to bark. You guys, we had to have. Matthew Hussie was on. I was like, big dog barking. What's up, buddy? He was, I'm talking to him. I'm like, you know, his wife was in the room with us. Yeah, yeah, you guys are both on.
Starting point is 01:20:14 And he was like, I wasn't ready to, you know, whatever. And I'm like, yeah, he's doing the same thing I do. I wasn't ready to commit yet and he's doing it in a British accent so it sounds romantic and I'm northeast Jew like no big dog got a bark you know like I wish I had his accent for a second
Starting point is 01:20:33 Matthew Hussey is what kind of what fancy dog he's a charpeie or some shit I don't know Greyhound yeah yeah he's a British something right I'm a mutt and I love Matthew Hussey I thought he was like we love him
Starting point is 01:20:46 no one put things into context better than him he had this whole thing about the wall. Go buy his book. I'm like a huge fan now. It's such a good book. Two seconds I became a fan and I'm a hater. All right, we're going to talk shit on these a couple scenarios. This will be a two-partar. This girl says, hi. Hi guys,
Starting point is 01:21:02 I wanted your insights on a situation that happened with my friends on a recent girls trip we took. Here's the tea. I wanted a three-night trip with my girlfriends to Miami. Little backstory. There's five of us. Three girls are in relationships. Two of us, including me, single. Truth be told, I haven't had much luck in the dating department lately. I've been going through a bit of a dry
Starting point is 01:21:18 spell. Back to the trip. packed with activities. We planned beach days, pool parties, dinners every night, clubs, lots of girl time. The last night of the trip, we had dinner, then we went to a club. As soon as I walked in, I locked eyes with the sexiest snack of a man who offered to buy me a drink. We're flirting, we start kissing. Fast forward. We'll leave pretty soon thereafter, and your girl got laid.
Starting point is 01:21:38 Yes. I was so excited the next morning to gossip. Big Dog got to eat. What up, Big Dog? I was so excited the next morning to gossip with my friends, tell them all about my wild night. To my surprise, everyone seemed a little pissed at me. I thought they would be excited for me and love hearing the story,
Starting point is 01:21:55 but instead they felt like I bailed on them on our last night of plans to prioritize some guy over them. I don't really see it that way. I was with everyone every second of the trip. All the activities just wanted to end the trip with a fun fling. Everyone was drunk. It was late. I didn't see any issue with leaving. Now I feel like I somehow am known as this girl who bailed on my friends for some guy.
Starting point is 01:22:15 What are your thoughts? Should I have stayed and told the guy to take a hike? Did I break some kind of girl code? Would love to hear what you guys think. Sounds like they had a bottle and they needed her to help pay. And they were like, she bailed. No, I'm kidding. It's Miami.
Starting point is 01:22:28 But that's the thing. Miami's so expensive. And I'm with you. There's something missing here. Did she lock the friend out of the room? There's five of them. I'm assuming two rooms. Maybe she's with the single girl.
Starting point is 01:22:39 So the single girl got like... She went home with him. She went home with him. She goes back in the morning. She wants to tell them about it. I see no issue here. Right. There is no.
Starting point is 01:22:47 I see no issue. her needing to fuck, not needing to fuck, I don't care. Here's the thing about a group trip. And don't mess with the tent pole events. If you were at the brunch that you guys agreed to, if you were at the dinner reservation, because what happens is with a group,
Starting point is 01:23:04 you want to keep excitement high. Especially when there's alcohol involved. When you drink a lot, sadness, anxiety works in. You only need one turd in the punch bowl to ruin the whole thing. So what happens on a group trip is if someone goes, well, I don't want to do that and I'm not really feeling it. It brings down everybody.
Starting point is 01:23:21 So as long as you went to all the events and we're like a happy participant. Yeah. We made a resi for five. I was at the reservation. We go to the club. At the minute the club happened, scatter. Scatter. Everyone do their own.
Starting point is 01:23:34 You fucking good luck. Have fun. Yeah. Get home safe. Keep your location on. You know, like I don't really understand what happened between her leaving and her coming back the next morning. freshly fucked to have the problem, don't you?
Starting point is 01:23:51 Exactly. And that's why I'm with you where it's the money maybe. Yeah, it must have been a thing where this was supposed to be some sort of event, but it's not fair. As long as you're at the beginning of the event and you paid for the event, you're good. Yeah, I'm assuming she bolted pretty quick and they all had like a fun night and just wish she was there, but that's on them.
Starting point is 01:24:06 You know, like it's the last time of the trip. It's a different type of anger than this one. I know, but I'm feeling like it brought the mood down, but that's not her fault or her problem. Right. She might be the straw that stirs the drink. That's the problem, too. Maybe she's the fun. She's the fun.
Starting point is 01:24:17 She's the fun friends. And they all had a shitty night. And they're like the personality left. And again, not her problem. I just want to feel empowered. I'm an adult. I want to go have sex. I want to leave this club.
Starting point is 01:24:28 I want to feel empowered to go do that. I didn't get up from dinner and meet a guy at the bar and say, peace out, bitches. You know, I think that we all get in our heads about this idea of what a trip should be. And like, I want to dance the night away. This is the last moment of the trip. We should all be together, just hugging and crying and singing times of our lives. This isn't the last night of summer camp. What the hell is this?
Starting point is 01:24:46 As we go on, we'll remember No one got dick on this vacay We are as dry as a bone I think this is a little bit of jealous Do you think a little bit of jealousy here? The three of them are like, I gotta go home to my dusty man And the one girl was single was like, I kind of wish it was me a little bit.
Starting point is 01:25:13 And she didn't have a wingman anymore. And, you know, we just don't know anything. That single girl could have riled everybody up because she lost her wingman and she didn't get laid. I'm not trying to blame the single girl. It could have been the merry girls that were like slut shaming her. Like, there's just no way to know. But I just feel like you've got to also take the person's character and their patterns into account. Is this the person that all the time is bailing for a guy?
Starting point is 01:25:34 It doesn't sound like it. You know, like, I bailed on a night in Greece that you guys all stayed out and I brought this guy back to the house. And like, I'm sure Raina was like, oh, this would have been fun if me and Ashley were together. But like, she's got to get hers. and she would do the same for me. You also had a home fun night, didn't you? I did, but my single friend left, but it never even crossed my mind.
Starting point is 01:25:51 Like, let me hold her back from having a great time that she'll enjoy so that I can have a better time. I would never. My point is if I did that all the time, it would be a little annoying. So that's the part we don't know about this email. Exactly. There are three sides to every stories.
Starting point is 01:26:04 There's the emailers, there's the friends, and there's the truth somewhere in the middle. So we don't know if this girl is the woman who bails. Yes. If that's you, the emailer needs to take a look in the mirror. I agree with you. I will say, if I'm taking everyone at their best, if I'm like the emailer at her best,
Starting point is 01:26:22 the way she told it, the married friends at their best, I would think sad single Sally, the one that lost a wing woman, she probably infected the group. Riled them up. I think that's the only way I can go. She went to the group and said,
Starting point is 01:26:41 can you believe it? and they have to agree with her because, again, on the totem pole of female relationships, I don't think this is true, but the way it works a lot. Married woman doing okay, single woman not doing okay. I don't think that's true, but that's kind of how the totem pole works. And what are you going to say to her, hey, why don't you get laid?
Starting point is 01:26:58 No, they're going to say, yeah, you're right. They're going to be comfortable to her and take her side. But it's also, I think you're right, but it's also like those women's husbands aren't there. You know, like they're on the girl strip. It's not like it was. I'm with you. I'm just saying like as if sad single Sally. and, you know,
Starting point is 01:27:13 Farah got fucked is off fucking and sad single, I'm gonna agree with sad single Sally because I'm gonna go again, and we live in a world the internet is full of people claiming victimhood
Starting point is 01:27:26 so that they get most attention so who are you gonna side with? You're gonna disagree with sad single Sally take the side of fucked Farrah? Right. Also, we don't know what Farrow was like on the trip. I mean, I'm not mad.
Starting point is 01:27:40 You're not going against comedy. You're not dead. Dildo Danielle? Dildo Danielle? What are we talking about here? Vibrator, Veronica? Climax, Carly. Just out of getting in fuckville, USA.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Ro-wh-wh-ro-ro-ro-ro-R-R-R-R-R-R. Shout out to that random dude, she fucked. Good job, buddy. Right, good for her. I think there's a scenario. She's in the power position. There's a scenario where this girl was late to everything, fucking complained the whole time.
Starting point is 01:28:10 She always does this all the time. and then she bailed on the last day. Then I'm annoyed with her, but I'm also kind of glad she's gone. Right, right. Yeah, but then they're probably like, now she's gone. We could have used her gone at dinner
Starting point is 01:28:20 because she's so fucking annoying. I would love the other side of this email. Like, that's the thing. Ask for her friend's email. Yeah. Can you loop us into the group email? I would write back to, let's write back to this person,
Starting point is 01:28:30 hey, we're going to forward this to your friends and we were going to ask for their response if you're okay with that. That's so funny. My feeling is that this girl kind of does this sometimes and the friends are. about it. Most of all, we are missing something. My feeling overall is girls' trip. There's a bunch of us. I'm going to still have fun
Starting point is 01:28:48 whether you're here or not. My friend should go and get hers. Well, that's the thing. I always do this thing where you talk about like if you drink and you get anxious. I always play out this thing where I go, let me bring this to a courtroom. So if someone got up in court and was like, can you believe our friend left the nightclub to get fucked? You'd be like, uh, yeah, bitch. Sit the fuck. That's why we went to the club. Right. That's what you do at clubs. What did you think was going to happen?
Starting point is 01:29:16 Right. You know, so I think we're missing something. It's not a very normal way to react to. I did everything right. I went to the nightclub and then found a man. Who my? This is like, there was this story that this woman was like, I wore a dress to a wedding and they said it was too much.
Starting point is 01:29:37 And you're like, at its base level, it's like, who would ever be mad at what a woman wears to a wedding? and then you see the dress. Yes, the wedding dress. Right, like, it's like, you know, like one tissue paper over the nift. Oh, really? It's like, she's got a veil on.
Starting point is 01:29:51 And you're like, well, you didn't mention the veil. She fucked the groom. It was so weird. This sounds very much in that world. But also, I'm willing to, I'm the only way at its core, I'd be like, single friend got sad. Yes. And that's the side we have to take.
Starting point is 01:30:07 It comes down to the person. Because, like, we rain and I were in Australia. It was just the two of us. and she met this guy and she went out with him and like she went to dinner with him like I was alone for the night and I was happy with it she asked me it was the love is blind season one finale I was the third week of the trip
Starting point is 01:30:22 yeah yeah we've been together for a while but it's like if Raina did this all the time I can't count on her to spend time with me on our trip I'm like this friend sucks but it's like it's so rare and it's like yeah I want Ray to get fucked and like I want to hear about it in the morning I'm going to stay in my room and watch reality TV right I but also there was communication here
Starting point is 01:30:41 we're missing where the communication got messed up. And then you're right, like, you wonder if something went south with a room key, with a, like, were they worried about her? I was expecting that, her to be like, nobody knew where I was. Yeah, like, oh my God, we had a show one time. And the next morning, we had like an onslaught of emails. Like, we lost our friend after the show. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:31:01 She went home with a guy after the show. And they were like, can you help us find her? And she called out of work. She didn't go to work. Why did Toronto? Jeremy was with us. I was like, be honest, you fuck her? Is she in your own terror?
Starting point is 01:31:12 And then we were like, we'll try to find her. And we were really trying to find her because she had emailed too. So we're emailing, hey girl, where are you? And then as it turns out, she had just fucked someone after the show. It was just like hung over and didn't go to work. Like, and email her. Hey, it's Rain and Ashley from Girls Got to Eat podcast. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:34 Right. Hey. Hey. No, you didn't win the lottery we did that night. Are you good? We just want to know if you're alive? You know, it's funny, like, her friends could he just emailed too, but she responded to us. No, I was on the case.
Starting point is 01:31:47 And also I'm like invested now. It's like a mystery to solve. And I'm like, where is she? You know, she's a missing person. She just said fuck some dude. But I will say for girls trips in general, my advice, I would never go on a girls trip solo, like with somebody like that you think is going to ditch you. Not that she did that.
Starting point is 01:32:03 But you kind of have a feeling for your friends. And I like to have girls trips that are like at least four people so that if like somebody leaves, the group is still. intact. I plan my buddy's batch party in Chicago and we did a Viking night. The opening night was a Viking night and we had this table with like all this food
Starting point is 01:32:20 out. We got big jars of wine big jugs of wine. We all had Viking helmets on. We all got gotten to our underwear and we were like hanging out in our underwear and that was like the Viking night. We're all in our underwear and then I hired a clown and I
Starting point is 01:32:36 so we had the basement of this My wheels are turning for our tour. This dingy. You gotta hire a clown. It's so, we... We won't hire a clown but the girls got to eat show. Do it.
Starting point is 01:32:49 So we're literally like, we're at this like Chicago bar. There's a basement. It's like we rented out the basement. We have a keg, jugs of wine, Viking helmets. The strippers were working like the bar,
Starting point is 01:33:00 like serving shots. We're all in our, you know, underwear hanging out. And then suddenly the clown walked in. And everyone was like, what is going? going on. And he was like a 50 year old clown. Career clown.
Starting point is 01:33:14 Career clown. And he legitimately, we all sat down in seats like eight year old kids and he did balloon animals for us. And it was the weirdest, most hilarious time. I still, we were like, what happened last night? And you hired a clown to come to a bar? Yeah. And the bar is fine with us? Well, what are they going to do? We have the space. Yeah. And somebody can just walk in and put on a show. I said the clown will be here at like 10. Okay, so you informed the bar. I informed the bar. Okay.
Starting point is 01:33:43 It was part of the deal. Yeah. And that was our opening welcome night. That's like, to get people on board with that, you just have to be like, don't tell them about the clown. Like someone will go, well, what's my money going towards a clown for? Right. Some people aren't able to see.
Starting point is 01:33:58 I see the greatness. The vision. I do. And if I see a table full of guys with a clown, I am approaching that table. Right. Well, we were very much alone in this restaurant. We went to a turtle race in Chicago. Oh, fine.
Starting point is 01:34:08 That was a part of it. We all bet on the turdust. Tustle loves the turtle race. She goes all the time. Do you really? Down the street, called Brennan's. I didn't know that this was an interesting thing.
Starting point is 01:34:15 It's a thing. Yeah. So we were betting on turtles. We did, you know, the big dinner. But like, again, end of the night, scatter. Like, no one cares.
Starting point is 01:34:24 Tess, let me ask you a question. You see a lot of guys there at the turtle race? That makes sense to me. Like, that's a dude thing. Right. You try to see more guys than girls. I mean, it's like a divey spot, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:34:35 It's, yeah. It's like an outdoor. It's like in right over here. It just seems like some where guys would be. Yeah, I mean, there's an event. Lines of guys. Bet on stuff. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 01:34:45 Events. You know, I met these guys via a magician. Yeah. At Owa, which is like a sushi restaurant on Apikini. And there was just a magician going around the bar, like working the room on a Friday night. Close up magic. Yeah. He just was walking around the bar.
Starting point is 01:35:02 It was crazy. And he came up to me and my two girlfriends. And then these four really good looking guys wanted to like know about the magic. And so they came over. And like we started talking, I got one of the guys' numbers. I met this guy via magician. Had there been a bunch of people in that restaurant and a bunch of women, you would have got a lot of attention.
Starting point is 01:35:17 Right. It's funny. Like, even guys wearing the same thing, women wearing the same things. Like, when they're a group, like, I remember we were on a trip once. We were younger, and there was a bunch of women in pink wayfair sunglasses. So we knew they were all connected, and then I went up. What's the occasion? Exactly.
Starting point is 01:35:35 All right. Well, Jared, we're running long. Let's do one more. Let's do one more. I got to your take on. No, I need. Because a lot of weddings this summer. I have a lot of wedding opinions.
Starting point is 01:35:44 Men never get asked about weddings. I have so many, I have judged every wedding. I will remember your cocktail hour food until the day you die. I will never forget. If your cocktail hour food was no good, you're no good. I will never speak to you. I will never think of you in a good light. I will talk badly about you to others.
Starting point is 01:36:08 Okay, okay. Well, this is about weddings and money. So, hi, bestie. I have a question for you. This one came to me direct. You're the bestie. This is Ashley friend. Ashley's like, I want to be clear.
Starting point is 01:36:20 It did not go to Raina. It might have. I just don't read my DMs. She was like, Ashley, you have a boyfriend. Ash. Right. You're closer to marriage than the other one. She writes to Rayna.
Starting point is 01:36:32 If I want to learn how to suck a stranger's dick on DM Rada. She probably is in your DMs right now. Like, Raina, I'm trying to eat an ass. this weekend. Okay. Do you put ranch or blue cheese on the ice? We actually have a blowjall for that. Okay. Really? A branch one? No, we have a peach. I almost puked in my mouth. Okay, hi, Bessie. I have a question for you. My boyfriend got invited to a wedding on the East Coast for his college buddy. I've met a handful of times. We're in the Midwest. I assumed he would pay for our flights, hotel, since it's his friend. He had a very
Starting point is 01:36:57 different opinion that we should split the cost. We both make good money. That's not an issue. It's more of the principal. We've been together a couple years. They live together. What's the protocol here. So she says, I always assume if it's your friend, you pay for your significant other. Am I crazy? Anyway, I love you. And she said, she loves you too, Raina. Anna Zul. And she's like, I love Raina. And Jared.
Starting point is 01:37:16 And Jared. What do you think? I think he's way off. You think he should pay? Well, here's the problem he has probably. And I guess let me be vulnerable for him. He can't afford to pay for all those things he'd like to pay for. So he's going with the non-vulnerable
Starting point is 01:37:34 route, which is split it down the middle, that's how it should be done, which that's not how it should be done. You were invited with a plus one. Your name is on the invitation plus one. My name isn't on it. I would expect that person would pay the hotel or negotiate with me. So what they said, when they added up all the costs, I was like, that's a lot. It's a lot. To hotel flights, transportation, I agree with her in spirit. But I also understand that he's probably looking at that. going, I can't afford that. You can't float two people.
Starting point is 01:38:09 Totally. When you offer it, you have to be ready to pay for it. He's in a shitty position. He's handling it wrong, but his position is pay for the whole thing and be a good boyfriend or tell me that you can't afford to pay for the thing that will get me there or not invite me and tell me you can't afford to bring me. Which a lot of people can't. I don't think a lot of people can afford two flights, a hotel, the Uber.
Starting point is 01:38:32 She said they both make good money. Yeah. Maybe not as much. But I don't count the money in other people's wallet. And I think that's her. What she's doing is wrong. Your relationship to money is different than my relationship to money and how we all look at it. It's all fucked up.
Starting point is 01:38:44 It's all emotional. So for him, he's getting emotional by saying, well, we should split it down the middle. That's the rule. Like, no, that's not the rule. You were invited to a wedding. You were invited with a plus one. You incurred the cost. Right.
Starting point is 01:38:55 And, hey, I would like to invite you as my guest. I got the room. I got the flight. I got the transportation. And if I were him, I'd be like, I would want. want to trust my girlfriend enough to go, no, no, no, no, let me take care of, let me, I'll get the food or I'll get, and I don't know if he trusts that or if he can even afford what she would expect.
Starting point is 01:39:16 So this is like very situation based and couple based on how many weddings you have this summer, all these things, right? Like is she paying for him, flight included for her friend's weddings? Right. And I don't say that an accusatory way, but like, you might have to sit down as a couple and be like, we have this many weddings this year. Like, how are we doing this? I just think it's case by case because some weddings are more of vacation for the couple.
Starting point is 01:39:39 Like are we going to Europe? Like, and then you got to pay for me. Like also is it okay for me to just not come? Is that fine too? Is the vibe just like, these are your friends and you want to go? This is not a priority for me. I can't afford it. I have a real problem with the hotel.
Starting point is 01:39:52 So here's where I draw the line. You are paying for the hotel. This is your friend. Right. I'm with you. I'm going to my boyfriend's really close friend's wedding. I would never expect him to pay for my flight. You know, like also we're both not flying.
Starting point is 01:40:04 It's in Boston. But like, you're not paying for my flight. But if we're going to stay in a hotel, if we are, I think we are, because it's a little bit outside the city and we're staying at the hotel where the wedding is. I would have been insane. Like something about it to me, it's like if you have the kind of relationship where you both pay for your own flights, like, but to split everything down the middle for your friend, you know you have to incur a little bit more of those costs. Also, the hotel, to me, you're paying for it whether I come or not. So you should gift me the room at least. To me, this is like the core of like the communication relationship.
Starting point is 01:40:33 how are we going to do this? Yes. Versus like pay down the middle is like not really a couple. Like you're not communicating as a couple. Like from my point of view, I understand the insecurity of men with money. That is a little bit more towards your worth, a little bit more towards, can you provide? And to say to someone down the middle for a plus one, like that's just not right. It's not right.
Starting point is 01:40:57 It's just not how it goes. And so when she says this all or nothing thing, it's down the middle. That's the rule. Okay, he's covering up insecurities he has. So I would like be questioning that more. I'd be like, hey, what's the issue here? Are you not being insecure with me because that makes us more of a couple so you're avoiding us getting closer?
Starting point is 01:41:17 Are you not being vulnerable with me because you really are insecure about money, which that's okay too. Or is this your attitude about money? Are we just going to do this forever? She knows. They live together. I don't know. This stuff can get out of control, though.
Starting point is 01:41:29 Like, I have a lot of sympathy when, because every person has. that summer if they've made a lot of friends throughout their life where they're like, it is so many weddings. Right. He's not thinking of that. I'm not taking this side because, you know, I think he's wrong with this whole thing. But like I just, you got to sit down as a couple like you just said and figure out how we're tackling this together
Starting point is 01:41:44 because, you know, at the age that people are getting married, which could be your 20s, like, you don't have that kind of money to pay for her flight to, you know. Yeah, and I'm trying to think of when I've brought a plus one if I paid what I paid for. Sitting here today, I'm like, I would think that I paid for the flight. But I do understand the idea of like, Like, no, I got my flight. Don't worry about that. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:42:06 I think weddings, like, aren't create equal. Like, if we're going to some amazing destination place, like, now we're kind of taking a trip together. That's a weird territory to get into of, like, how fun's it going to be. But there's a world in which I'm like, I don't even want to go to this. Why am I? Right. I got to pay for it.
Starting point is 01:42:21 Right. Listen, I'm with you. It's all dicey. But I, anytime, and this is like my sixth sense, and I think, I have a sixth sense for insecurity. Yeah. As an insecure person, I'm. I can smell when someone's being insecure with me.
Starting point is 01:42:35 Whenever someone puts rules in the way of making decisions and having conversations, that is a red flag for I am insecure. Okay. So when you stick to rules made by who, who made the rules. But he's saying, this is what you do. Okay, why you're sitting on a moral perch of like this is what people do to try and get me to shut up. So he's insecure about something. I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 01:43:04 It's either the relationship. I don't know if I want to be so serious with her. I know we're living together, but this is like another step where we discuss money and we've never done that. Or he's insecure about the money he has to spend on this. I like the assessment. They need to communicate on this,
Starting point is 01:43:20 but I dare you to ask me to split a hotel room for your friend's wedding. Absolutely. I wouldn't have the balls. I wouldn't. I'd be like I'm paying for this. I would put me in debt for years and I don't care. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:43:34 But again, we don't know the whole story here. Yeah. Okay. Jared, thank you for this. A pleasure for you. For forcing your way back onto the show. I force my way on. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:43:44 To the listeners who hate me. We love you. I love you guys too. Thank you so much for having me. You're on tour. Never, not on tour. Always on tour. Come to a show.

I tell people to bring their parents. Perfect. Love that. The boomer millennial relationship. I'm upset. I'm really so excited. What a great way to sell to multiple generations of people. Yeah. I did it at a country club in Boka. The whole room was 70-year-olds.

Starting point is 01:44:51 Bring a big dog boyfriend. Oh, my God. Do you know there's a thing where I've been doing this big dog bit forever with the Bachelor's podcast, especially? And I guess this girl was like, guys love it when you. call him Big Dog. There's a, there's a TikTok now. I saw it. It's gray. What's up Big Dog? What's up? What's up Big Dog? And she overdoes it. You just gotta just do a slight. To your boyfriend? Call him Big Dog. No, she was right. Guys want to be Big Dog. I build my boyfriend of all the time, but that doesn't flow off the tongue for me. I've never said it. How do you build them on?
Starting point is 01:45:24 No, I'm just saying I'm always telling him how like, I mean, yeah, I'm just saying I really believe in like building your partner up and I tell how great anything he is and how hot and how sexy and how wonderful and smart and funny. There's a time and a place. But Big Dog is not, doesn't, I've never said it. You're not calling your boyfriend Big. I feel like men are calling, like, the TikTok was about how to like say happy birthday from a man to another man. And it was just like talking about.
Starting point is 01:45:46 Yeah. When I say happy birthday. Sometimes I get on TikTok. Yeah. Happy birthday. Big Dog. I, I, I've been using Big Dog a long time. No, but Big Dog to me, it comes with a, like, it comes with a dab and I, like, I couldn't
Starting point is 01:45:59 dab my, like, I'll try it. That's why I look. awkward when the woman in the radio station tried it because of the other woman who said call him big dog to love it and it was very funny you have to do it when he does a big dog action that's what I think she left out if I went to the barista
Starting point is 01:46:14 and was like hey can I get a little more ice to my ice coffee didn't really pour it up and then I came back to my woman and she was like I love that out of you big dog she's whispering and winking at the same time big dog got his ice I'm like I don't know
Starting point is 01:46:31 Big Doug. I'm so uncomfortable. I hate this interaction. I'm just telling you. Okay, I was thinking of it in a more like, okay, big dog. What would a woman like? Okay, sexy.
Starting point is 01:46:40 Okay, okay, hot stuff. You spank my ass a little bit. I like hot stuff. Light spank with a good job sexy. Yeah. Sexy little girl. Sexy little girl. No.
Starting point is 01:46:52 That was not it. That was like, I don't even know where that came from. That was like the fist bump. Because I don't want it. Yeah. Oh my God. Yes, you do, Raina.
Starting point is 01:47:01 Little girl. No, I like, good girl. Good girl. Not little girl. I already know that I'm little. From a bald man who looks like Vin Diesel. I had one of those last weekend. Last weekend? He's so big. I've slept with him one time before I had you meet him. I've slept with him one time before I had your show. Was it fun?
Starting point is 01:47:15 Yeah. Bucketless shit. Have you ever fucked you in a green room? In a green room? In a green room. No, I haven't done. He was in the green room with all of us. And Ashley was like, you guys should get a room. And then we just did.
Starting point is 01:47:23 Yeah. And I was like, I should run for president. Like the power to tell your friends. This emailers friends would hate you. Tessa was there too. we just hired her. Tessa was just working the cameras like here. Tess was like set first bunch of us.
Starting point is 01:47:36 You're gonna have an HR issue. Tess is like, it's funny that like any story could be told to be horrifying. Tess is like, and they made me leave the room while rain are blue, a guy who looked like Vindiesel.
Starting point is 01:47:47 That is perfect. No, no. And I just felt that they didn't take into account my feelings. We got her a pizza. She got pizza. They paid me off with pizza.
Starting point is 01:47:58 This feels I need to step in as the judge here. We didn't make it. I went to the other room. She had to leave. That would be insane if we said Tessa leave or trying to fuck. That's crazy.

Starting point is 01:48:46 It is the golden age of being a woman. Can we just admit to that? We're going to be fine. Like it was Ashley was like, actually, if you press your ear up to the wall, she's right on that. Right. I was like, okay, Tessa, should we go listen? Tessa, get the fuck out. Raina has to fuck the dude for a million dollar listing.
