I'm Becca Tobin, here with Jack Vanek and Kelty Knightley.

Back home where it all started. Katie Knightley. Katie Knightley. Back home where it all started, here in the Podcast One studio. Your hair looks crazy. Is it this part up? It's like... It's important in like five different places. Just take your headphones off.

Okay. This is what real friends do, okay? this is good give it a brush back also kelsey has had like a piece of skin peeling off of her forehead the whole day that i keep meaning to tell you about and i saw that in the bathroom earlier you know what it is it's that i took the advice of the internet and i got that like spiked by spiker eyebrow stuff that's supposed to spike up your eyebrow and it's like a hot it's like a it's like glue i'm a drag that's what it is why women are spiking up their eyebrows he's I was like, what the fuck is this?

It's the weirdest. It is weird. It reminds me of when, like, boys in fourth grade would do this straight up hair spike. That's what we're doing to our brows. Is this better? Am I better? No. Just leave it.

No. Help me, Jen. Hold on. Okay. Just do it, like, leave a little in the front. Yeah. Okay. And then do a sensible.

Yep. There you go. How's mine? Great. She's done. So much better. So beautiful. I do love that you're doing, like, an extreme side part.

He was clapping for you. Thank you, Steve. It's really bringing you back. Emotional support producer Steve is here, just really giving it to us. Okay, so we are. What you were saying, and I interrupted you, which is what I do best. We are in the Podcast One studio, which is where it all began. The studio we built.

Hardly. You want to see these curtains bought with Lady Game money? Yeah, I mean, some of them. That's why they look so shitty. Because they were $9.99. We actually haven't been in the studio together in probably at least five years. Yeah, it's crazy to be here. Right?

New table. When did you start doing CBS, your office? When did you start working at E.T.? That was when? 2018. 2018. Yeah, it's been five years. Yeah, that's crazy.

Wowie, wowie. We're home. All right. Well, it's time for... Good week. Yes, it is. Bad week. Oh, no.

Okay. So I have a good week. Well, first, a bad week. I was out having drinks over the weekend, and Zach mentioned to me that friends we were meeting out from atlanta that night who i'd never met he's like you know the wife is in town for this conference convention thing and my ex-girlfriend is part of it he's like not that she's coming with but like austin is a big city right but if they're all meeting up from the convention after then it's like a weird yeah thing that there's a chance you could run into this this

ex-girlfriend granted that serious ex-girlfriend here's there's no one but you zach had like one pseudo serious girlfriend and i think she cheated on him and he was like see it but anyways but he he was like see a bitch or is it the one that he always thinks about because she cheated on him no because zach has like a very strong feeling about a hoe okay you know what i mean yeah all right like there's a lot of things that you could do and zach too but like for him the the cheating is like into him it's like he has such a healthy ego that he's like you're an idiot yeah he's not heartbroken you cheated on me yeah he's like lose my number you're a loss loser i'm dead to you goodbye yeah he's snap move that headphone over here yep um okay so i start drinking a lot it's

very hot out and i totally forget about this person i truly don't think about it because quite frankly maybe in the first five years of us being together i would have been like oh who's this bitch i'm gonna look hot tonight and then i was like good luck if you can take him you know yeah so then i we're out we're having fun and we're like pretty i was pretty intoxicated and the whole night there was this running joke about how I want to start an app about how women can order like blowjobs for their husbands. I love it. So women have

an app. An option. They're the ones in charge. Like they can and all the women have been vetted by other women. It's a women-led app. Women-led. It's a women's world for a man. Okay. Snagula comes at 9 p.m. I mean, let's whatever.

Snagula. I just pictured her. She has black hair. She's the opposite of me. Well, anyways, it's like so it's it's it's like whatever you want to do you want your husband to have a bj it's like ordering him an at-home massage okay you're like yeah this girl will do and they can't ever exchange numbers if they do the girl gets kicked off the app and the husband gets whatever and i was like what am i gonna call it so it's this running joke with his friend who was in town i was like oh you know what it could be because like you have to do background checks and std checks and like it's very thorough i'm like it's kind of like angie's list but it's angie's lips

is going to be the name of the app and she's less sponsor of the lady gang i know but it's a very thorough way to i mean you trust these people okay so anyways i was like telling the story so then i'm so like again i'm so drunk i'm not thinking about anything there's all these girls from the convention that did end up coming i did not even look for her truly so then this one girl comes over and she was so offended by my conversation it's a woman with three kids and And she was like, I still have sex with my husband. I still want to. I still give him blowjobs.

This is crazy, blah, blah, blah, like kind of judgy. And then she was like, which one's your husband? And I was like, oh, that poor guy over there that I'm literally talking about outsourcing blowjobs for. Like, I'm sorry. He's a great man, but that's him. Well, then I see her leave. And I put two and two together that she was the friend of the ex-girlfriend. So she was coming over to like do recon, I'm sure.

And she probably went back to his ex-girlfriend and was like, he's not getting blowjobs. Don't worry. she's a psychopath who wants to create an app for sex workers for her husband to get blow jobs when she doesn't feel like it so i nailed it if you can't respect that hustle then you're not our kind of girl she's not she's obviously not an entrepreneurial spirit i think it's a win-win because she thinks she wins but you really win like everybody wins let them eat cake i think that's so anyways that was my humiliation but also how does angie's lips sound i like angie's lips we should we it's like the apparel tits that's like one one thing you can order it's

like a little like apparel tits you can order like what's it called when you have you can do a shot of too dirty and what no uh what the hell is it called a titty i can't do that motorboat no motorboats in the face yeah isn't that when you just hum and you give them a blow job no that's a hummer we need to brush up on our sexual terms clearly no one's getting away Dirty Sanchez. I'll go. Okay. Mine are pretty short and they're both emails.

Okay. So my first team or the first email that I got is my good week. You guys know how I have the one guy that always asked me for feet pics once a month. It's kind of like on a different day. You need the money for your wedding. What are you waiting for? I need the money. His name is Adam something, but every, it's a different message, but they're all kind

of the same, but it's not copy paste. So, but anyways, now I have a new suitor, Scott Parker. Subject, feet pics. Hi, Jack. How are you? I hope you're doing well and having a great day. Sorry to bother you. I was just wondering if you could possibly be interested in selling feet pics.

For example, feet and sole pics, if that's something you'd ever consider selling. Like the sole of your foot? Yes. As I would be very interested in buying and would be happy to pay prior to, only if you would be comfortable with that, but I completely understand if not. I like that he's like PC and polite. He's like, I'd really like some feet pics, but only if you're comfortable. But what about like a sole?

but it's only he doesn't want to get reported scott parker wow it's a super polite email yeah so i have when isn't that my match.com name sally prescott sally prescott sorry never mind now i have two men that you guys know me so well you didn't even god what is in your brains about me what factoids it's so embarrassing i know you too well okay okay so my bad week is um i have my email on my Instagram so I I sometimes get like put on risky it's so risky but like I also get really good emails from having my email on my Instagram but I also have to deal with a lot of like spam and riffraff and like whatever so I got this email it was an absolute talk about copy paste email from somebody wanting I don't even know what the email was about but it was like

let's set up a zoom call like click on my calendar or whatever so anytime I get one of those emails I either reply, because there's no way to unsubscribe yourself, so I'll either write unsubscribe or I'll write stop emailing me. So I did. Weird. Why is that weird? That's a weird thing to do. Well, because then they could stop emailing me.

I don't think people take that seriously. Well, this person did. Okay. So I wrote back, stop emailing me, and she said, hey, Jack, if this is Jack Vanek from the Lady Gang, as the email is public on your verified Instagram account, then your response to the one email I've sent is very disappointing. I'm a fan of yours and the lady gang. And similar to you, I'm a creative looking to start my freelance career, which is why I pitched myself to you.

So I wanted to say a public apology to Michelle. Did you write her back? Not yet. This just happened. This just happened today. Yeah. Okay. So I'm really sorry, Michelle.

Jack is very overwhelmed. She's got bridal brain. But like it did seem a little copy pasty. Spammy. So I replied as such. But like my formal apology. Michelle needs to rethink her copy-paste emails. Yeah.

Yeah. You make a few mistakes. Well, if you had opened it up with, I'm a big Lady Gang fan. I hope it's okay that I'm emailing you. Since your email was there. Ignore this if you need, you know, whatever. Yeah. But yeah.

Sorry, Michelle. Okay. She's probably not listening anymore. Thanks for that. No, thanks. She's burning a lady box as I speak. I lost another friend and follower. Okay, good week.

I was recently in Canada. I saw my brother, which was like a dream come true. were you doing um bachelor in canada were you know i was auditioning and they're like asking me canada but i was unavailable because i have too many american shows to be on right now so thanks for asking me i you know they'll they were a couple other girls they were you know behind me like charlene or whoever you know i don't know i'm just kidding i have no idea any about any of that um anyway so i was in canada and my brother uh has you know a wild house with a lot of things because he's not big on leaving the house and so he got a star wars pinball machine

and when he came to me and he was like i'm gonna buy this star wars pinball machine i was like you loser do not buy this don't spend your money on it there's better things in the world to spend your money let me tell you something she loves it i'm a it's the time the tommy musical she's a pinball wizard so it's got eight different things it's video pinball yeah i play so it's not even a real ball going it's not a real ball it's like a video game and there's like darth vader face princess leia face like there's all these different things and i would be so excited if i got over a million points and then the screen would come up my brother's like 140 million points anyway i could not stop playing pinball and so he was like you should get one of these for your

office because it would be such a good relaxer for you i was like this is not relaxing no anyway you wanted to be the best i love pinball i love it so much it is my personality it's my new hobby okay it's who i am here's my bad week when i came home from that trip chris was like hey watch when you're coming up to the house something got hit in the road and i was like okay no something didn't get hit on the road the coyotes ate a deer in the middle of the road i found an entire deer baby fawn carcass and let me just this is a trigger warning for you but let me just tell you something when the coyotes eat the fawn they eat everything but the legs and the face oh my god it was there was not a vein meat rib to be had look at it so close it was in the middle of the road and i

well here's what happened chris she's like should i tiktok chris oh you tell me honestly you thought about it no i didn't i was very upset actually the whole vibe of it was very heartbreaking for me and so i saw it and i was like chris was like it's a coyote and i was like i don't think it's a coyote because i drove by and then i was like well this is in the middle and it really is like I'm a gore person as you guys know I have my brain diet like I never saw anything this awful when I even went on a safari in Africa you're a non gore person

I don't like gore I don't like like any of that just sticks in my brain so I was like well there's a lot of people that walk up past my house on the walking path and stuff and I was like this is just a really gory to have in the middle of the street so we called animal control and they were going to come but it's going to take a few hours so I took Callie no oh my god and we walked down and we covered up the deer with a

sheet like just to like you know why'd you take your dog because Callie was freaking out she knew she knew something was going on with a coyote she was like very into it were you like this could be you yeah but here's the thing she wanted no she wanted nothing to do with it she yeah freaked out because it smells like dead animal and she was like but i was like you eat dead animal every day like i was very confused about her carnivousness but anyway i covered it up i saw its face i gave it a little blessing and then animal control came but anyway It was the most, like, I just assumed that when a coyote ate or some, an animal ate another

animal in the wild that they just, like, ate some pieces and then went on their way. Yeah. I didn't expect them to fucking, like, carcass this shit. Like, not a, where is the rest of that Annie? I have a picture I'll show you guys. No, thank you. No, thanks. Pass.

I was just recently on an airplane with a friend of mine who said she's been dealing with bladder leaks. And you know what I told her? You've got to get ultrathins. She was using period pads.

I need, I also have a backstory that I want to tell. Okay. The backstory is how I got connected to Katie. So Anna Rose, my best friend is a hairstylist and she does all of the bachelorettes hair. So she was doing your hair. I don't know

if it was for you going on Matt season or it was probably, I think when you got announced as the bachelorette, I feel like I've seen her multiple times. I'm like, I don't know which time it was, but you, I think it was when you're going to be announced for the bachelorette and you were listening to your own playlist and your playlist was an emo playlist and the main came on her playlist as she was listening to like all of her music and anna was like oh my god that's my best friend's fiance's band you should meet her fiance or his fiance jack she's like an emo kid you guys get like along so well and then you followed me on instagram and that's how we got connected like a while ago a couple years ago because i mean elder emos always have to stick together

you're the prettiest elder emos I've ever seen in my life all the emo girls are pretty dark hearts, hot features yes wait you need to make the t-shirt well I was going to say that as the podcasting world has taken off

we used to have our first episode ever of Lady Gang was with Allie Fedutowski and we've over the years had many bachelors and bachelorettes on this show no I think she's the first person we recorded with but I don't think she was our number one No, she was our first episode, but the third person we recorded with, because Sheryl Burke was our first person we recorded with.

Oh, you're right, you're right, you're right. Anyway, so we, like, you know, over the years, we've always, and there was a time, like, I think during Colton's season, where we got really in with ABC PR. And they were like, oh, no, no, no, bring all the Bachelor and Bachelorettes. But then all the other podcasts, like Our Friends and Chicks in the Office and whatever, they all started their own, like, aftershows and Cutting the Roses and the Rose Parade or whatever else there was. and then we'd start we'd reach out and we'd be like hey can we get katie and they'd be like well what are you like how are you supporting bachelor every week and we're like well no we're not every not we're not like we just want to talk to her once like yeah and we'll like for this finale or whatever you know anyway so it started getting really hard to book them and so we kind of like

took a back seat from bachelor bachelorette people we're like no it's fine which bums me out we'll take some housewives my obsession because we're deep housewives jack's a deep bachelor and bachelor ed are you a housewives no i actually don't watch like any reality tv yeah the my stunt on the bachelor and bachelor i was like my my cut ties with all reality you're like never again yeah you're like goodbye the sparkle's gone i know too much yeah so what's so funny is that we had to the emo music had to connect us yeah and then i went down a deep dive of your tiktok and you're so funny oh my gosh so i'm so glad that you're starting this new career and not only are you starting it but you're doing things like opening for the iconic Whitney Cummings yes how did that

happen oh my god she is like a godmother so during my time as the bachelorette she wanted me to go on her podcast and we had met at uh Jimmy Kimmel behind stage and so I was like can I go on her podcast and so they said yes so don't give up if you want if you want guests just keep asking okay I feel like Whitney Cummings is like a little easier yes but yeah well who knows but I was like can I go on and they're like yeah and so anyway we're talking and we're having a good time and then I'd tell them kind of like oh yeah before I went on the show I really wanted to start doing like open mic just for fun and just try it out whatever she's like oh would you ever want to open for me and I was like sure but like thinking it was like so casual yeah well then like I feel

it was like a week or so later she followed up and was like all right well I have a show in Anaheim it's a month away do you want to do it and I was like uh okay like you can't say no to opportunity ever you figure it out as you go but you do not say no and I had never even done an open mic at this point I didn't even really have material and she's probably playing to like at least a thousand people or something oh yeah it was Anaheim I forget what the venue was but it was huge and it was just like insane like literally as I'm like first of all I took a COVID test I'm like if I have COVID that's a good excuse to get out of it oh god I was like if my car crashes that's a good excuse to get out of it but like nothing was getting in the way like nothing was stopping me

I was like I guess I'm going so um yeah I got to open for her I did like eight minutes at the time I felt so good about it. Like, I was a little drunk, obviously, because of, you know, nerves. But I loved it. I had fun. People were laughing. But now, having the experience that I have and looking back, it was a horrible eight minutes.

Like, when you probably watch it, I was like, cool, she's going to make me look so good because that was horrible. But, I mean, it was just like, you're just an experienced new person on stage, just kind of, like, drunkenly venting about, like, shitting yourself at work and, like, traffic around L.A. Like, just stupid stuff. Stupid stuff. Well, I commend you because being a stand-up comedian, to me, I think is the hardest job in the world.

Like, I could not imagine standing up there and trying to make people laugh knowing that you might not make them laugh. Like, I would just die inside. So I, like, have such respect for anybody that goes after it. Did Whitney give you any pointers after or guidance? Because it's, like, such a – there's, like, no guidebook of how to be a stand-up comedian. Well, that's the thing is you can't. The only advice everyone always gives is get on stage. Doesn't matter how much you practice.

Doesn't matter how much you write. the only experience you're going to get is on stage holding a microphone. So that's just what I've been doing since then. I've loved it and I've learned a lot. There's been times where people don't laugh. I just got to open for Brad Williams. I don't know if you know who he is but it was in Ontario here in California

which is a different vibe compared to like LA or San Diego so some of my jokes didn't quite hit the way that I'm used to. I'm like oh lesson learned. Okay. So just you know with time and experience you're going to have those moments and just grow from it. Yeah. I love it. Are you currently single? I am.

okay are you dating i'm trying what's the definition i mean i'm putting myself out there are you on any dating apps so i tried raya for a minute uh exactly like it's just not worth it um in fact i emailed them to like delete my thing i paid for like a year in advance i was committed but it was horrible and then i tried hinge but it's just like i'm in this weird place where it's like i don't want people to know like my background right away because then you have weird like yeah clout chasing guy yeah which is like you cannot be a worse person to date than a man that's clout chasing exactly like it's so it was so hard and so i i didn't mention anything but i had katie comedy san diego you google that i still come up so i'm like you know yeah so i deleted hinge for

a bit too so just taking a break for now and focusing on just having a really hot girl summer as i'm calling it hell yeah where were you living before the bachelor seattle okay yeah so after i was done filming The Bachelorette, I took my paycheck and I was like, I'm renting this big Airbnb in La Jolla. Whoever wants to come, let's stay for the week, whatever. Like it's on me. And the second I got to San Diego, I was like, oh, the Uber drivers are nice. The strangers are nice. The grocery store, everyone's nice. Everyone's happy. And in Seattle, it's just not the same. And I was like, this is where I'm moving. Yeah. I love it. That's great.

Oh, I love this so much. Okay. So you, um, I, I saw, I think on your, um, on your stand up something about that you're in your hoe phase yes tell me what is a hoe phase oh my okay well this is what i talk about i feel like it happens twice because everyone has it when you're younger and you're single and you're like a young adult right yeah but what people don't talk about is when you're like in your 30s and you're still without child and not even married it's like your body is now tricking you to like have a hoe phase where like all of a sudden everybody's like turning you on and you just like want to hook up or like you're like is he like father material like and you're transitioning from like a guy that used to be like dad to like daddy now you know

yeah and so like i one of my jokes which was based on reality was i was at the dentist and my dentist had his finger in my mouth like they do and like for some reason i was so turned on by this and he's just like your typical dentist with like his mask on and glass and i was just like why is this turning me on what if he has a job he's employed yeah he has sperm i'm childless I don't know. The bar is low, literally. It's so true. Do you remember the moment, like that is the moment for you,

but the moment that I found someone really hot and attractive and then like the old me was like, Becca, that's an old man. Yeah. Like the 20-year-old in me would have been like gross. Yeah. Yeah, it's like the zaddy. Yeah. Then you realize you're old.

We're transitioning now to an older demographic because we are an older demographic. I'm not 21 anymore. No, it's like everybody that you're dating is going to have sciatica. Yeah. So that's just, like, it's a truth that you have to accept. No sex past 7.30 p.m. I don't have the energy for it.

You know what I mean? Unless I'm wasted. Yeah. I also like, I like this. So I have a saying called sexy mature. You're not there yet. But sexy mature, it's like, I'm looking for a sexy mature man, which is, like, he's mature. He has a 401k.

He's a grown up. He's, you know, he has. He may have toenail fungus. He definitely has toenail fungus. He's paid his. He has at least seven years of tax, like, refund. History. why is that so hot though

so hot and like in a little five folder and he's like 2019 like I love this so much and then but like he's

you know he's just a a sexy mature man you're in your home-ment having your home-ment with your sexy mature home-moment

you're lucky too cause like I find comedy stand-up comedians like I know everybody jokes that they're disgusting but I think

they're so hot like most of the men you can be you look like a troll but if you're funny yeah yeah wait can we talk about

like have you met a lot of comedians yes and the number one rule is don't date the other comics i know but how can you not that's a look wait what's that guy right now that's so hot matt rife matt i said that too soon he would love that he's like of course you said me right away he is but he's so he just announced a world tour so like let's let's fingers have a little bit but yeah he's he's very attractive and it's really cool because he's actually been in the game for like 10 years but had his like viral like tiktok moment and now it's just really like catapulted him into this are you guys friends have you made out

no what no I've never even seen him in person oh okay in my dreams but like obviously

the comedy scene is very you know it's like can't your thing be that you f*** other comedians like I feel like there's a great

material in that I love it you don't have to name names it can be a bit yeah I mean look I think I do have

like an advantage because I already have like my platform existing and that's where that's where the rule kind of comes into play

is you don't want this reputation of like f***ing your way to the top and it's a male dominant space and so the women especially have to

be careful My girlfriend, Nicole, she's out of L.A. She said, fuck the comics, but don't fuck. And then she said some names. And I was like, no good. So some of them are off limits just because they don't have the best reputation. And then some are like, go for it. Have fun.

Do your thing. Wow. I fucked a comic once. It was the one-day stand. I wrote a story about it for our book, Act Like a Lady. I had a one-night stand with a comic in the middle of the day and then never talked to him again. I forgot about that. Yep.

That's called chuckle fuckers. Chuckle. Yes. I was a chuckle fucker. I have never heard that in my life. Oh, it's a thing. Yeah. That's incredible.

Because that's what you said. Like, you see a guy be funny, and you're just like, all of a sudden, he's, like, super hot for some reason. You're like, why do I want to bang Jonah Hill? Weird. Okay. Not to take a serious turn, but I was very inspired by your story. And we, Jacqueline is about to get married very quickly. And Becca and I have been married for many years.

But we've had a lot of boys. and i'm very inspired by your story because um everyone obviously knows that you and blake split after your season and there's like i from what i've read and found out i'm taking it as there's this underpinning of men really still can't handle a strong ambitious woman whether that's blake or not like there is this underpinning of like you were like no no no like this is just the start for me like i am just beginning my life like you know and there's this thing of like i think men are still scared of just what do you think i think that's true oh i a thousand percent agree because especially like in the career that i'm which is a person in comedy you're you're very blunt you're

very opinionated you're very loud you're like you are making your voice heard all the time yeah and traditionally i would say men shy away from that and i'm not trying to like generalize obviously like some men really love that but that is a problem I have where you know people are looking for more of a conservative quiet you know stay-at-home wife and that's just never going to be me that would be a really hard like the comedy space I think that would be hard if he's not in comedy like you use the material of like him like your marriage Amy Schumer in her documentary did such a good job of like explaining what that's like like she married a guy who gets it but he still doesn't really want to like get in there that's you're not only you're ambitious but you're

like putting your dirty laundry out oh yeah for the world yeah ali wong is another one she had this great book that's very detailed about her marriage and the highs and lows and and now they're divorced and so it's just kind of crazy that like it is your life and you're this public person who's talking about everything yeah but it's good that you're doing it first and then you can find somebody who can you can match it yeah exactly that'd be kind of weird if you're dating somebody or married to somebody then all of a sudden they're like i'm gonna be a comedian in now well it was a little bit like podcasting like all of our spouse or significant others had to get used to us talking about them on this and that's like nothing and it's still like yeah and

it's still uncomfortable yeah because guilty's like i'm getting a divorce oops wait chris stopped listen my husband stopped listening for a while but then i was in his car and he had like the latest episode riled up so i know he's caught up and i was like oh god that was like a whole phase where he really hated you anyway okay before we move on to a little game um i know that you are also using your bad sex stories in your comedy which like this is if anyone's listening to lady gang they should be following you and going to your shows because i feel like we're cut from the same cloth we've shared every one of our bad sex stories like on this show over the years there's been so many so i want to know like your worst sex story it's funny because it really inspired

my very first open mic three minute set and it was I had um John just dumped me and I was heartbroken about it and I went to Mexico to just like start over be fresh whatever wait can I talk about who John is because you didn't watch her season right okay so Katie's season ends you get engaged to Blake yes you guys split up and then she ends up with a guy that she sent home like second week yes for my season like that she barely got to know yes and then there was all this speculation i go on reddit every single night so i know everything that's going on in bachelor world yes but there is all the speculation i mean i could have ended up with because he sent me home the second week yeah oh well i think john was a second week guy yeah wow justice for kelty okay

so anyways she ended up dating the guy that she sent home like super early in the in the season so that's for a long time uh six months but like we lived together i bought him like a travel van She started going skydiving because he was a skydiver? Yeah, he skydived. I was like, I'll skydive. So I went solo skydiving. I was like so all in. Katie, you bought him a van?

Don't worry. He paid me back. Okay, all right. But it took a long time because travel vans aren't cheap, okay? No. Wow. Lesson learned. Oh, I will never buy a man dinner.

Anything. Anything. Yeah. I love it. Okay, so anyway. So yeah, so I'm heartbroken. And so I meet this local guy in Mexico. And it's a mutual friend, so there's at least like that.

you know anyway um we ended up having sex and it was like it was the worst sex ever first of all he is going down on me and my body is physically like moving and i talk about it in my set as um like a hungry hungry hippo like he's just so aggressively like shoving his head down on me that i was just like he cannot actually think this is like working like what is he doing and so eventually we like transition and then like you know he's inside and then he starts to like move his dick in like a figure eight oh no i i don't he had to have seen this in like a what are you doing you know and so i was really pissed and then like i was a little drunk so there were like bits and pieces that were kind of like clear and not clear yeah so then like

the the next day i was like okay like maybe i was just really drunk like i want to do like a redo so like i literally extend my trip by one more day just to have sex with him one more time just a little less drunk and it was like just as bad and so i was like oh i didn't actually black out It was just like my body protected me from the trauma that I was experiencing. It was so bad. And what's really sad is that was my first set a little bit. And he found out that clip was about him. I was like, well, somebody needs to tell him.

Since then, he's had two super, super hot girlfriends. So all I can assume is that he did some research and he just leveled up and he can thank me later. Yeah, that's hilarious. No, I appreciate that. When I first started dating Chris Knight, I went, we moved in together like really quick and I, um, I was cleaning out like some space in the closet for me and I found this other girl's headshots and I was like, who the fuck is that? Headshots.

It was headshots. And I was like, he's like acting like he's such a good guy and you have someone else's headshots, like a stack of them. And I was like, so weird. But then I instantly on underneath that, I found the book, like she comes first and we hadn't slept together yet. And I was like, I love a man who reads and also does the research and he's fantastic in bed.

I'm so jealous. Well, that's the thing. Men, like, learn from porn. Don't be. We have to fuck these men for the rest of our lives. Yeah, it's true. No, no, no. And now it's ten years later, and I'm good.

Now you can read anything. Like, just leave me alone. Don't touch me. Nothing sexual whatsoever. Don't you dare say come to me. Do not come here. Do not come there. Do not come anywhere except in your hand.

And you guys are still married? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. Just catching up, catching up. Barely, though. Okay, when we come back, we have a little game for Miss Katie.

So we had, I did this with Nick after his season, and it's been some time for you. and I know you're probably so over talking about this but I think it would be really fun. I have brought the pictures of your men. I want to know what their name is

if you remember and then I want you to describe them in one word. Nick remembered like no one. Nick was like Susie, Susie, Susie, Susie. He remembered zero people. So if you mess it up, it's okay. And you can blame it on trauma. Yeah. Exactly.

And also here's the good news. Starting off with a good one. And as As the story goes, Katie, is that last week I asked Jack if she could print these off for me and I was like, go to Kinko's and print them so that we can show them to her. And then we, I had a realization I could put them on my iPad, but I knew there was a reason I didn't want them on my iPad because I had planned to write on the back what their actual name was. So we'll know if we're right or wrong.

I'll probably know. Yeah. Jack will might know. If you don't know, we're f***ed. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And we're starting off with a bang.

Oh, well that's Greg. So one word. Yeah. Yeah.

But then, like, that was not his story. In fact, I don't know what his story was, but for, like, 20 minutes of the conversation, I was like, oh, he's going to be a blind guy. Yeah. This is the greatest thing ever. Okay. I don't think he made it to my season because I don't know who that is. Wait, he's hot, too. He's got a nice smile.

I'm glad you went back. He literally was living out of the van when we broke up. He has since sold the van. I don't know what he's doing, but rich is not what I would describe it. It also looks like there's a private plane blurred out behind him. That's what I'm saying. He looks like he's on the tarmac out of his private jet. He's sending subliminal messages.

Yeah, wait, what kind of picture headshot is this? He was a pilot, or like flew planes, or was getting his pilot license.
