Let's make this quick. Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to Lady Gang Quickie. I am back here with Jack and Kelty. Hello. You know, sometimes I get so excited about just chatting with you guys. and today's one of those days what are you so excited about okay so i don't know if you've heard about this thing so we've done episodes before on red flags and green flags in relationships so red flags are like obviously you know oh my god he just like right now there's a woman i know who is clearly being catfished by someone but he's real but she's he's taking all her money

this is like a friend of the friend of a friend and he's like oh i work as a security guard i work from 6 p.m until 6 a.m every night and then is like taking all her money and then she says he's going to show up in thailand for the vacation and never comes and has to work um overtime on the weekend so like essentially he has another family and he's stealing her money anyway long story short red flag a green flag is like when you know jerry does something wonderful and is like super supportive and wonderful and is like showing his true colors and it's like okay i can move forward this person because i'm a green flag yeah well there's a new trend i don't know if you've seen this flag beige flag okay so the beige flag is the thing that makes the person you're with

so boring or so weird. And the thing that they do that it's like, it doesn't turn you on. It's not a red flag. It's not a red flag where you're like, I need to leave this relationship. It's not a green flag where you're like, wow, it's just a beige flag. And I have just, it's not like, it doesn't have to be like a weird thing. I think it's more so people are like explaining like their quirks of their partners, right? Yeah. It doesn't have to be weird. I'm going to read some. Okay. Here's some examples. Okay. So my boyfriend's beige flag is that when we're about to fall asleep in bed, he will chant butt to butt in a weird voice and scoot his butt towards my butt so that we sleep with our butts touching. There's absolutely nothing remotely sexual about

it. It's quite comforting. I saw that one. That's so good. My beige flag is my boyfriend has no mental illness or trauma whatsoever. He's just completely stable. This man wakes up every day happy he has a good day life is great no worries no stress he is the most relaxed and chill human being i've ever met it's suspicious yeah it's chris knight it's like when you and i yeah it's like when we all talk about good week bad week and we're like i don't know which one this is those are those times it's a beige flag yeah it's a beige week oh my god it's so good um the beige flag beige flag is simply that would cause you to take a three second pause and then continue the relationship for example my fiance john is terrified of astronauts like he spooks what's

your quirk that's so funny okay my boy this is also chris i guess i was attracted to beige flags that were chris knight my boyfriend's beige flag is that he never gets the details blank and blank broke up oh my god what happened i didn't ask oh we're going to dinner with my family awesome what time i don't know i didn't ask yeah that is men beige in flags do you have a beige flag i'm yeah that's all right well no for me myself have it or zach like did you give me some beige flags of your life well if zach is going golfing with a bunch of guys that's like hours and hours together and usually some drinks involved so like if you give women hours together and drinks involved you're getting every detail of a breakup of whatever of gossip or anything and he will come

home and it will actually be something as serious as like so like so and so found out that he was cheated on like yesterday and then you go off with him today how's it going and he's like he's all right and i'm like well who did did did he find out you talk about for five hours they don't talk about anything for five hours they talk about golf the activity they're doing is golf and it's like it is beige because here's the thing i know women who have partners who are the opposite and they're like women and it's exciting to be around it for a little bit but then i'm like oh this is a little too icky like too close to to like female energy for me yes and then if they well yeah and i mean he's as close to not knowing anything as anyone so yeah that's that's beige flag it is that's just

so men like jared i mean his profession is being in a band with four other guys and i know more about what's going on than they do because i talk to their wives and i'm like oh you guys have like this tour over like we're gonna come and do this and he's like what he's like i haven't talked to any of the guys in my band i'm like yes i know our flights i know our car i know our hotel like i've got it all handled but like men are so stupid they just they just like exist bobbling around they do okay i have a beige flag my beige flag is that chris i mean i have a bunch but chris um he you know he's so lanky and tall he for some reason when he comes in to hug me i'm going to try to explain the visual for the podcast listeners he puts his arms at a right angle to him as if he's

a tyrannosaurus rex and he holds them just a shoebox width apart cannot move them and when he hugs me like instead of coming wide span wing to over the top to give the hug he comes in T-Rex style and he gets really excited and then he bumps up against my shoulders like he can't get through like he oh my god I have these little Tyrannosaurus arms help I need a hug and then one he like bumps me a bunch of times and then he slides his arms underneath my armpits which he to like bend down for and then he wraps the hug around me and it's like the stupidest thing and i mean it's not a red it's not a it's not a green flag because i'm like there was not a purse like in your hand that you're bringing towards me like it's just every day this is how you hug me but i

stop and i'm like yeah life's good like life's okay this is interesting like you're making it cool for me and then yeah just stupid shit um i have one for jared he loves to juggle so like anytime there's a fruit in the house or like lemons or oranges like he is constantly and i love when he juggles like i love when he's a jester i call him like my own personal clown like jester so anytime that there's any way that he can like do a little trick or make me laugh like we have a pair of nunchucks that he wanted for christmas one year that are hanging up like by my purses because he always wants to play with the nunchucks this feels like a green light to me personally for me it is but you know that would annoy the out of somebody

but like i love it like i'm like the lemons are over there i'm like he's gonna start juggling soon i can't wait wait and you tell him to juggle or he just like no he just does well he knows i like it like i get giddy when he juggles or does his nunchucks he's bad at the nunchucks i mean he's okay he could be better but um yeah that that's my beige flag zach has another one where if we're entertaining people or even just ourselves like i'm i don't cook i'm terrible um and he'll cook he's like really good at the grill and all that stuff but he'll if i'm if i don't i'm not careful if he tells people that they can come over and we're gonna eat dinner like he will he doesn't make a side it's literally just a massive buffet of meats and nothing else occasionally

he'll grill some asparagus but i'm like you know that like a salad and like some sort of snack charcuterie whatever is like standard practice yeah we gotta have some sort of a variation yeah so i learned my lesson after like the fifth time of him inviting people over to eat where like i becca needs to make some sides at a loss for he's like dinner's ready just i think it's so weird when people eat multiple different meats at the same time so do i i feel strongly that like you have to stay in a meat category it's like and i don't even eat meat but like it's we're having fit i mean i have fish but we're having fish we're having a chicken we're having things that come off a meat cow we're having a baby pig like there's no like unless it's

a surf and turf but that's like a specific thing and you're going steak and lobster yes that's why that's a thing because it's not because it's weird zach will literally start it off he'll kick us off with sausages into new york strips and i'm like what is happening my arteries are screaming wait becca how is your meatless journey i have been pretty like i'd say i'm 90 meatless and i just have made it so that if i'm out at a restaurant with friends or if i'm not responsible for like i'm not going to be a psycho yeah you're not like do you have any beyond well yeah i'm not gonna be like is this sauce does it have dairy in it no i'm not ever you're not doing dairy either no because it's plant-based so it's like oh but but i do if i start to like crave eggs or something

that's why it's like 90 because i'll sometimes like get an egg situation or if there's like a cheese in mixed in with something that's at a restaurant um so but i don't feel i don't feel much different i mean i feel the same but that's sort of the way it goes that's the point all right are you the kind of person who drinks soda because plain water is boring but you should be drinking more water right i am there with you it's very hard for me to drink water because i find it to be very boring hint smart water is here to give you the best of both worlds hint infuses pure water with fruit essences to create surprisingly accurate fruit flavors without any sugar diet sweeteners or calories their unique fruit essence create amazingly

really need which i've trained him over our marriage like i need you to write me a card on my birthday and then you just sit there for 20 minutes and write something lovely about our relationship. You can't just be like XOXO Chris and like whatever Hallmark wrote, like that's not going to work for me. So, and I'm like, and I need you to be like, I mean, it got to a point where I was so mad at him on our last trip that I made like a game where I was like, every day we have to sit at breakfast and tell each other one thing we love about each other. But that's like a cry for help. That's like, I'm desperate for you to like, like me. So it, we took it really, really far, but lately, and this is like probably over the last six months since we got back from that

trip he is making an effort to like show me throughout the day that he's thinking about me but we both are very independent once we once we break at breakfast go team have a good game like I don't really like I'm not one of those people's like checking in throughout the day I'm like see you at eight and we'll like recap or we won't we'll just stare at and watch selling sunset like I don't know what's gonna happen but his beige flag is that he really is into this thing of sending me and tagging me in baby animal videos on like Instagram so he'll text me a baby animal like a little seal holding the other little seal and like that's it and then like in a few hours he'll follow up did you get my seals like not and I'm like Chris of course I did like first of all

it would just be easier to type out hey hope you're having a good day or like saw your Instagram you looked hot or whatever the it is thinking of you love you or a heart emoji but no you went and you found the baby animals you copy and pasted that link you put it in the text and then you had to follow up and like also chris knight so it's a beige flag because i'm like wow that's sweet but then i'm also it's a red flag because i'm like bitch i have five jobs you think i have time at 1 15 p.m to be oh my god chris text me i better check it in this meeting i'm in and then it's a can baby seal like i don't have time for this that's the important stuff though yeah it's true i was gonna say you have plenty of time

anyway the only person i respond to on text like when they text me do you guys do you text all day like where are you okay leaving the gym blah blah like no no no no no yeah jared and i like barely communicate when he's out of town yeah we don't really either like some nights i'll go to sleep and then i haven't even checked in with you and i'm like oops i didn't say good night yeah yeah oh no i like barely no because i'm like i need to like drift off into the the darkness i can't have a demarcation no no demarcation um this woman says my husband's biggest beige flag is that he constantly combines words no matter what situation think the pocket front pocket frocket green yarn grarn black jeep bleep bad mood his his best is butt cheeks beaks

it keeps you on my toes i usually get a combo word before an actual response that's amazing i love a combo that would be a red flag for me it would yeah yeah that was like let me grab your bleeps bleaks you know i don't like bleaks i don't when when i don't like when men make up like cutesy, like, like nicknames for things, you know what I mean? Yeah. Like someone just, I just heard somebody refer to charisma as the isma and it's like a guy forget it must've been a podcast. It was like, yeah, he's got the isma. And I'm like, ew, I don't really like it when men do that. No, that's the, that gives me the ick. I was thinking of trying to get a new word for zeitgeist because I seem to use it a lot in pitch meetings, which makes me

want to barf and punch myself in the face at the same time but like what if it wasn't zeitgeist what if i was just like it's in the geist in no but guys that sounds like something to do with can't you say ethos i'm sorry let me grab my pen is that even right i need to google it i'm not sure like it's in the now it's in the now oh you guys i should come to you for business advice more often probably i tried asking chat gbt i'm sure they have an idea ethos is the character characteristic spirit of a culture era or community the ethos ethos boom zeitgeist is out ethos is orbit in the orbit yeah okay here's another one my boyfriend's biggest beige flag is that his this is literally me his patience and temperament is directly linked to his body

temperature if the room is a cool 68 or 69 degrees he'll wait as long as you need for anything nothing will piss him off but if the room is anything above 73 degrees he's hurling a chair at the wall for a minor inconvenience and we'll get super frustrated with having to wait for anything dude that's this is this is jared and this has been his biggest fear about our wedding as if it's going to be too hot for what is it saying right now i mean it says it's supposed to be like low 70s in september so it should be no i mean no during the day then you're great you're golden he sweats when it's like 60 degrees you're gonna be cold babe i know i'm nervous about being too cold and he's nervous about being too hot like that is the one thing that we cannot agree

on at all in our relationship is temperature i think it's really important that you put those sweat pad things in his underwear in his shirt like we did for chris yeah oh like they're under like actors have them so yeah it's like a maxi pad that you attach to the inside of the shirt oh and so they don't get sweat through and then also they have these things i really i recently did this and an actor got ice packs put into his pants like his crotchal area because i guess if your groin is cool that tells the rest of your body to be cold yeah really yeah so there's like all these tips and tricks to i'll ask my um my friend who's like a wardrobe costume designer person i'll be like what do you do for hot men on set his his problem is it's coming out of his

head and then dripping down his face and then getting his hair all wet so he needs like a and i told him i'm like you should try to get botox in your head i think he should just botox his head and he's like i'm not gonna get botox i mean he's gonna need like a classy hanky did you get do you have a hanky for him i should get one get him like a really cute one with the date on it like a wedding date and then he can at least like have in his hand and like sort of pat yeah and then also go to your friends in the lady gang and be like hey jared's worried about being wet and getting his hair wet and i will literally come by every 30 seconds like stage bombing and just i'll have my own little pat pod that just lives on my hand and i'll just be like

he just needs it on his hair because it gets his hair all like i understand icky in the front right he's and he's just gonna have nervous sweats even if it was like 30 degrees well also he's gonna have nervous sweats but also the fan the fan that like yeah the one that i like a yeah on set on set fan i mean we need a whole underneath my dresses we need a jerry bag like a little jerry bag that just comes around to keep jerry cool he's nervous about it it's not like it's in mexico in the dead of summer i think it's gonna actually be really pleasant weather and and really like it's the ceremony where he has to keep his jacket on yeah how long is your ceremony gonna last short yeah yeah so you'll be he'll be fine yeah he's gonna be great see the temp

beige flag okay last beige flag of the episode my husband's beige flag is that he keeps his undies that have holes in them so he can surprise me by walking out and tearing them off his body leaving only the waistband he calls it the grand reveal and it always happens when i least expect it i love that that is a green flag through and through yeah that is amazing that's so funny oh my god i know it's so fun reveal i do love this trend on tiktok because they're all so funny like men are ridiculous they are that actually makes me think of something so zach recently transitioned from he for years since we started dating he was in a lululemon boxer brief and so that's and i think most men are like this where they're like really and women they get one

pair of underwear that they just like the cut they get a million colors uh-huh so that's zach and so just recently in the last i don't know year he started sleeping in just a boxer like a white boxer because he likes that's kind of sexual he wants to air out but here's the thing i'm like it's almost like i got a new husband because you see somebody in the same shit all the time that you you go blind to it and then suddenly one day they pop out in something that you're just not expecting and i'm like it's like i'm sleeping with another man so it's like maybe i need to start doing this with my like outer outer shell like sleep in a nightgown or like really i have seen chris knight's eyes when this has been a part of our life i specifically in our old house

remember it's been a long time but i remember coming home from getting my hair done and like i'm just always greasy and in a sweat pant when i'm around him and then like beautiful out for the world and I came home from getting my hair done and I had like worn jeans and like a cute outfit and I walked in I remember he looked up and then he went like he like couldn't believe that I was the wife and I was like oh so I know exactly what you're talking about and we should be doing that more yeah well that's why I do usually look like a scrub because then once it's like I put a little bit of effort into what I look like Jared literally thinks I'm a supermodel yeah um but he's been doing the same thing too they're like doing a new record and so they have

this they have to get a new look and like all this kind of shit so he's been buying himself cowboy pants like a boot cut flare oh and i'm like i'm into this because there's also a trend on tiktok of men they're like i finally stopped wearing skinny jeans because it's like guys that would wear the tight little jeans and then they now have like style yeah and this is his version of doing it and i'm like i mean i always think cowboys are sexy so i'm like it's like a new it's a cowboy jar a new man a new man so anyway we're gonna put up on instagram a beige flags prompt please leave your beige flags uh on the at the lady gang and we're gonna read some of them in the next episode it's so funny and amazing and i just love you guys and i'm glad we have

a boring enough life that we can have beige flags you know what i mean yeah we're out of our red flag era and we're into our beige flag era we weren't here for a long time but we were We're here for a good time.
