She's a lifestyle blogger extraordinaire. Fantastic. And he's a serial entrepreneur. A very smart cookie. And now Lauren Everts and Michael Bost. are bringing you along for the ride. Get ready for some major realness. Welcome to the skinny confidential, him and her.

This is a little warning, guys. If you have kids in the car, you might want to listen to this another time. It's a little vulgar. This is the skinny confidential, him and her. So, thank God you did push-ups before we got on air. I do have a nice pump going on right now. My pectoral muscles are swell. Nobody's going to notice any of that.

Hi, guys. Welcome to the Skinny Confidential, him and her show. You have me, Lauren Everts, the creator of the Skinny Confidential, which is a podcast, obviously, book, brand, and blog. And then you have me, Michael Bostic, the star of the show, businessman, entrepreneur. Lauren is basically my Robin, and I am basically the Howard Stern of this show. Oh, my God. Now that we're calling it a show, Lauren's big on calling it a show now. Did you write that down? No, I didn't.

Taylor is, right off the top of the head. Seathing at the mouth to be introduced. He's shaking, he's perspiring, upper lip is sweating. He has notes written down. Let me give him a little intro. So to my right is my friend, good friend, also coworker Taylor O'Connor. He has been a regular on this show in the past. But for those of you that are new to the show, you may not have heard from him because he's been on a hiatus.

He was on timeout. The last episode he was on, I believe, was episode 58, and now we're well into the 70s. So he was literally sidelined for about 20 episodes. For his most prominent appearances on this show, you should check out episodes 33 and 52 with our friend Annabel from Adderall in Complements. I think that performance on those shows that he did really kind of paints a clear picture. But if you really, really, really want to get a clear picture of who this guy is to my right, check out the episode titled Mr. Piss Pants Wild Ride, episode 42, where he gave Lauren and I the wedding speech of all wedding speeches. He gave us a wedding speech that was, I don't even know how to describe it. You have to listen to the episode.

But basically told me that I had the biggest dick at the wedding and everyone needs to bow down to me and that Michael was the beauty and I'm the beast. and then he proceeded to go to a strip club after my rehearsal dinner and piss his pants everywhere. Pre-lap dance, he decided to get on stage and dance with the strippers and then get a lap dance with piss running down his leg. And this is just a couple of the things that happened at the wedding. It's funny, we pulled all the audio from the wedding speeches and actually put it on that episode, episode 42, Mr. Piss Pants. so you can actually go and hear that cringe-worthy speech. It was definitely something to behold, especially in front of all of our friends and family.

So with that, Taylor O'Connor, welcome back to the show. Let everyone know what you've been up to. Who are you? What are you been doing? What's going on? Wait, just don't read off your composition notebook either. Like, you've got to look at me when you talk. I don't know why you need a composition notebook.

This is literally your like 12th appearance on this show. Yeah, actually, it's more or less random notes. writ down. But anyways, I'm surprised. You think this is like your big return. It is. I have to. I have to come out with a banger. I'm basically going to fizzle away. I'd rather go out. I'd rather become ash than dust. So I'm going to basically try to go, uh, flaming out here. So I'm surprised you actually didn't say that I was, I took most of my clothes off in that trip club. I don't even think we mentioned that. Not all of them. I was still wearing my boxers. Did you take your clothes? This is how, wait, hold on. This is how you want to go in and introduce yourself. You want to go in and just talk about the clothes.

You don't want to let everyone know who you are, what you're about, your name. Your hobby? Your hobbies. Well, my name is Taylor. Connor. I've known Michael and Lorne for a long time. I think I met them both in sixth grade. I've worked for Michael for about five years, I think. Longer than that. Longer than that. And basically I would say, I would sum myself up to that picture of that clown that's crying is I'm like a person who people find humorous, but I'm like really dying for people to take me seriously. I really see. How can you die for people to take you seriously when you walk into a strip club with piss all over your legs? Take off your clothes and ask for a lap dance. Well, I'm doing the best I can. Okay. Well,

Let's try to be better, Taylor. Also, the good thing is I got 200 new followers at the last four months on Instagram. Working my way up. Whoa, that was a practice. I've seen you. We have a secret Facebook group for the podcast, and I saw you the other day plugging your Twitch channel.

For those of you that I don't know what Twitch is, it's a online, what do you call? Like an e-sports gaming? Yeah, it's an e-sports thing. So I've played computer games ever since I was young, and I basically bought a green screen. And I filmed myself playing computer games. Yeah, that sounds kind of dorky now that I actually say it in public, but it's quite fun.

And if you ever want to watch it, you could, there is, you know, it's out there. Are you plugging yourself again? I'm not going to plug it right now, but it exists. You just plugged it. If you dig it. If you dig, if you search hard enough, you'll be able to find it. I feel like you were really excited to let everyone know that you just went up 200 followers on Instagram. I actually now my fall, who I follow and who follows me is like a little bit above.

So that's like a good moment for me. It's a moment of success. You follow some interesting characters, don't you? I thought you were just supposed to follow everybody that follows you back out of courtesy, but then it turns out that they just immediately unfollow you, and then you're following all these random people, and then they look cool, and then you look like a loser. My God.

So for this episode, I think with the best thing we can do here, one, we've got to answer it. We have a lot of listener questions that came in, so we're going to dive through those. But I want to know, I know what's been going on in your life, but for those of you, or for those that have not been following you lately and who have been wondering what you've been up to.

And actually, kind of for my own interest, because outside of the office, inside of us talking, I know you've been, and I see you doing things, but I want to know what you've really been up to. What's been going on in your life? Well, I've actually been facing some fears.

I haven't been to the beach in seven years, and I went, because I have a phobia of sharks. It's like there's three things that scare me. Sharks, paralysis by jumping on trampolines, and then getting in a car crash if I was like ass naked. And I had to get out and inspect the damage. Wait, wait, wait.

You don't go to the actual beach. You mean you don't go in the water. Or you actually don't go to the beach because you think a shark's going to fly up on the beach. I just stay away from the beach at all costs. Man. It's too close. Let's talk about the trampoline thing because that's a new one for me. I've never heard that one.

Where are you jumping on a trampoline? I've never seen you do it. Well, that's exactly why I have a phobia of it is because I haven't done it since I was a young kid. And hence why I'm not probably, I can walk. Good thing that Weston literally just brought my mini trampoline to the office because I want to be like Tony Robbins and jump on it every morning for lymphatic drainage, I'm going to make you face your fear. I think if they actually, I want to know the statistics of people who jump on trampolines versus people who have actually had accidents. I guarantee you, there's still, I don't

want to be that small percentage where it's like, you know, you're jumping on the trampoline, you're having so much fun. Next thing you know, you're paralyzed. I don't think that's going to happen to you. But I mean, I learned something new about you every time we talk. I mean, I feel like we've known each other for so long, literally since we were 10 years old. We've worked together so And every time I talk to you and bring you on this show, I learned something new that I was not expecting. I mean, to have those, I can understand the shark thing, right? I'm scared of sharks too. I don't really want to mess around that.

I don't fuck around with those either. But trampolines, and what was the third one driving in your car crashing naked? First of all, what would you be doing in the car naked in the first place? So I had a dream a long time ago where it was more or less a nightmare, but I woke up and thought, that's a fear of mine. I never want this to happen is I'm driving in a car naked and I rear-end somebody. Isn't that the most, like the easiest thing to prevent in the world? just don't drive around naked.

Yeah, but still, my mind works as it's something bad's happening. So in the dream, the guy, you know, whenever you rearend somebody, they get out of the car and they're looking, they're going, look at this damage. And they're looking to be. We don't need your whole life story. You know, to get out of the car. But I can't because I'm naked. Okay.

So what's, now that we've, we've established your fears, what's been going on your life? What have you been up to? I think the biggest question on people's minds in the podcast group is what was, what ended up happening with you and Annabelle? So I would say. Fizzled out, don't you blew it. Well, technically, yes, what I was going to say is what I'm notorious for doing, unfortunately, and it just was this time period is I didn't strike while the iron was hot. And I actually regret it. Surprisingly, I know not surprisingly because usually if I reflect, I'm usually, or I'm a type of person that usually whenever something happens, I go, okay, well, it happened and I move forward. But this in particular, I actually do regret because when I hung out with Annabella, I think we went on, I think we hung out four or five times, three were, or two official dates. All the others were kind of more like group hangouts. but every time she definitely steals the show where I, it's almost like you're staring into like a shooting star.

That's what I used at your wedding. I refer to you as like a shooting star. But she's very, she attracts attention and she has a personality like no other girl I've ever met because if you think of someone who, most girls, what they are is they laugh at jokes and they go, ha ha, and most guys go, yeah, this girl has good humor. But usually the girls don't have good humor. They just have, they can laugh at other people's jokes. either that or you've got some girl that's very rigid and not funny. But Annabel, I've never met a girl that actually made me laugh where I'm listening to her going, tell me more.

So what, I mean, okay, so there was a bunch of really nice things. The iron's freezing and off. The iron is cold. That's exactly why. I just waited too long. I waited too long. And unfortunately, by that time that the iron was plunged into that cold ocean. The iron's at the bottom of the Titanic.

Yeah, it's definitely. So for those of you wondering, he blew it. The iron's cold. And he'll never get over it. No, but I am disappointed about it. If you're listening, he's a mess. Annabel, he's been busy figuring out his fear of sharks and trampolines. So that's what he's been busy doing.

Michael just literally asked you what you've been busy doing, and you said that you were figuring out your fear of sharks and trampolines. I need to give you more to do for work. I guess that doesn't really come out as well as I thought it did. I mean, what else have you been doing? Your birthday's coming up, and I guess I better throw away that trampoline gift certificate. Well, Wes and I are going to go to Vegas. I guess.

Shit, I was going to take you shark watching. I would probably if you. I was going to pull up butt naked in my car and take you for a drive. I'm telling you, somebody out there listening has gone, oh my God, how do they know? Like, think of all the people that live in nudist colonies. They have to transport somewhere. I don't think they, I think like when they're going, like just like, you know, one to, you know, just be a member of society. And two, not to like get, you know, sex offender charges brought against them.

they probably drive to the colony with their clothes on. And when they're there, they're like, okay, this is the established safe space. I don't think they're just like hopping in the car, butt naked and taking off. Oh my God. If I got in a car crash and it was by a school, I would just get out and run. It would be a nude hit and run. If you were by a school nude, you would be going to jail. Well, that's why I'd run.

It's because they would just throw you in because you're in the proximity. Okay. So you, outside of what you've been doing with me, we've been working on a lot of different things, what has been going on in your personal life? Have you been dating? Have you been... So I've been going out, and this is kind of, What's going on with the dating apps?

So I've been going out. Actually, I've abandoned most of the dating apps because, again, they suck. Filters. Do they really suck? Or was it the profile pick choices? It's probably the profile pick choices. Because there's a friend of ours who says he's had, at one point, had over 200 matches. And I think the most matches I've ever had is one or two.

And the last one I matched with, which was basically the straw that broke the camel's back, was a fake one. It was a fake profile. And she started sending me all these weird. Catfished. what is it, gifts of some guy and some girl having intercourse. And then I go, wait a second. This doesn't seem right. She goes, I want to taste your hot, you know, load.

And I'm like, this isn't real. Okay. This isn't real. And it wasn't real, unfortunately. Okay. Okay. So you abandoned the dating apps. So then I started going out, and I've been going out because I usually am not a big

person to go out and, you know. And how are you getting girls when you go out? I'd love to know. I want to provide some value to the audience on this episode. So how, okay, the dating apps aren't working. how are you finding dates at this point? It's 2017. You're a single man. Where are you meeting these women? Or are you meeting women? He's meeting them at shelter and he's using the skinny confidential pop socket that he has on his phone and walking around with it up to his face to get girls. We have, so you know, Taylor had people message us and come up to us saying they have spotted you out locally in San Diego and that you are name dropping the skinny confidential like a mofo. Is he really? He's out there. He's, yep. He's. He's. He's, yep. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's. He's, yep. He's out there. He's loose.

I only did it one time. It was because I was floundering really badly. And the girl, it looked bad. Or it looked bad and it felt bad. And then I go, oh, do you know or do you follow Lauren on the skinny confidential? And they're like, yeah, why? And that was the perfect window. And then I still blew it because you know why?

Because I ended up talking about myself the whole time. And I never actually, what I should have said is, excuse me, tell me about yourself. But I didn't. I like caught her in the lobster cage. But I forgot to close the door. She got out. You caught her in the lobster cage. I feel like girls don't like to be referred to as lobster.

So that's kind of where you went wrong there. Let's not name drop me. Let's not. It was, I only do it for last-ditch scenario. It was sink or swim. Okay, so how are you meeting women? I want to know, I want to know.

I want to like, there's a lot of single people out there that want to say, okay, where can I meet a guy? Where can I meet a nice guy? Probably not a lobster fisherman or whatever. But where can I meet a guy so I can pick up a date? Okay, so the way I'm old school, because I personally really like to have somehow a personal connection to be able to speak to the person.

So I don't like to go to clubs. I know it's a big thing people like to go to clubs and they really like it. But the one downside is the music so loud and there's, you know, seizure-esque lights taking place. And you have to have these conversation with these people you can't hear. And most of the conversation is what? And they go, huh? And you go, yeah.

And then like, let's dance. And the next thing you know, you have this number from this girl that you didn't have any meaningful connection with. So I like to go to, I actually don't even like to go to the bars. I wish I could go to a library and pick up a girl. Dude, okay. I'm going to give you a hundred bucks here on the spot. If you can name three books you've read in the last two months, three, and no, don't lie to me.

You can't lie to me. Well, how about one book that I've been reading for three months? Okay, so what do you can do peruse around the library with one book? You just keep, what I do is I just get the big stack. Like I like that librarian that's going to go back to put them back after someone grabbed them out, which eventually the person would end up doing. You want to meet girls in the library, but you don't read books. Well, I like to read books.

I like to start them, but not finish them. Comic books. Comic books are great. Some comic books are great. Now we're talking. So someone asked in the secret Facebook group if you liked me and Michael being mean to you. Can you explain to the audience our sense of humors and our banter? Are we really mean or are we just showcasing?

Like this is real life people. This is I don't know. It's not like an act. It's not like we can make this stuff. These are things that I just see like, listen, Taylor, I love you. You know that. We've been together for a long time. It sounds like we're a fucking in a relationship.

But we've had a relationship for a very long time. And I would say Taylor is hands down one of my best friends and one of my most trusted compendants. With that being said, he's a weird son of a bitch sometimes. And he does a lot of weird things that I want to show to the world. And it's, it's, he's kind of like the WB frog that just kind of ribets. And then you give him a stage and a platform. and he starts tap dancing and singing and la.

I promise you that if you asked like 300 people on the street what their biggest fears were, top three fears, you might get sharks. That's not too uncommon. Not that fly up on the beach, though, probably not. But you would not get paralyzing yourself on a trampoline and crashing butt naked in a car. If anyone has those fears, by the way, we have someone for you. Please email me. Did you know what I'm actually, even when I swim in a pool,

I still part of me thinks that there may be a shark in the pool. I remember when I was like five years old And the lights would be off in a pool And you know I know Again we don't need to this You know when you're like Again we don't need your whole life story You know when you're a kid

And like the lights are off in the pool When you're like five years old And you're driving and you get scared There's something in the water I get that. Yeah it's those The whites of their eyes They're white and they glaze over

Next thing you know you're dead I think Taylor Remember that movie with LL Cool J? Yeah that's D Blue C My head is like a shark's fin That's what the rap song he says So we're not mean to Taylor This is our banter guys

It's light It's funny it works for us. But let me reiterate that. I play to my strengths. So the way that I am as far as my friends, 99, actually probably 100% of all my friends like me for my unique personality. I've never once had a friend come to me and say, hey, Taylor, I want to let you know that you give me the greatest advice ever. Or say, I mean, technically people have said you're my, you're by rock. You do give good advice. So yeah, but I'm saying that's not my strength. My strength is making people laugh. So we're usually doesn't matter what I have to do to do that. I,

I like to entertain people. And I think Michael and Lauren, you said showcase. It's a very good. That's, I think I responded to somebody and I used over a thousand words and he summed it up with one. The way that you guys push me showcases my personality. And most people, if they met me in person, they probably go, oh, he's really not like that. And then they meet me and go, oh, my God, he really is.

So we're not mean to Taylor, guys. Taylor's okay. Taylor loves it. I don't know how you. And it's, and it's, Taylor and I have a very unique relationship just because we've been through so many things together. Like he's really been with me almost through. my whole business career, almost through my whole lunch. So like he's really seen ups, downs. We've

tried things. Had success, had failure. So it's like you've kind of been there throughout the whole thing. You really have a full. You've been there for just as long as Lauren's brand's been around. Yeah. I wonder who he'd choose in a in a fight. I'm just kidding. In a fight? All right. Like who's going to. I'm just joking. All right. So we have reader questions today. I believe we have four questions. It's kind of a medley. I just feel like Taylor. is sort of a medley as a person. So to put him on an episode that's a mixture, we've been doing a lot of themes, themed episodes like, you know, fitness or health. So this one's kind of just a collection of you guys' questions. You guys know you can always email me questions at podcast at the

skinny confidential.com. So I feel like we should get into the first question. The biggest question, the most, the most questions that come in for you, Taylor, people want to know about your dating life. They want to know what your best lessons that you've learned so far, dating, you know, on dating apps and what you've been doing single. So, and they want to know best grooming tips for men. So, and they also want to know best and worst date. So I think let's break it down and say, what are some of the lessons you've learned dating in the world in 2017? Okay. So I'm going to have to, one thing about this is, is interesting. So the reason my, or my dating advice. So the reason I've become, this is kind of embarrassing. I'm actually surprised

I'm saying this. So the reason that I'm so good, I'm really good at romance and romantic, sappy stuff, but there's a reason why. It's because I want to say out of the, I don't know the specific number off the top of my head. It's not very big, but of every girl that I've ever, you know, been, you know, sexually with. Intimate with. Intimate. That's the word. I don't think I've ever pleased any of them. Okay. Okay. Ever. Okay, that's a bold, that is a bold statement. Are you kidding, Taylor? I'm dead serious. I'm the word. I'm terrible. So it has to do with, I think they, they, they, it's like, I don't have the sexual stamina, you know, where there's a reason behind it. This really took a turn. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is like a whole episode. I didn't know you were going to throw this card out there. Say that again. Say that statement again.

So, okay, here, I'll say, what's the term? Are we going to use technical terms? Can we just use like kindergarten, like, burvage? Why don't you, why don't you use the words that you think are appropriate? And then I will come in if I think, uh, what's the termination. And then I will come in if I think. think that if we or Lauren will come in if we think we can clean up the words. Okay. So trust me. I'm doing this because I actually find entertainment by this and it's trust me, I've by no means like say what you will because I think it's funny. I am a premature ejaculator. Okay. I don't know what to do here. Oh my God. I don't need. I can stand no minute man. I don't want no minute man. All right. Okay. We got to tell everyone for this episode that if they have kids.

kids in the car that they got to turn the volume down. Yeah. I don't even know how. Just tell the kids. Just tell the kids. Taylor's shooting off the pop rocks a little early. Well, basically what I'm getting at is so I've never, you know, most times that I get, you know,

intimate, most girls are going. There's a line of girls outside waiting to hang out with you after this podcast. It doesn't matter. You know, I, the way that I work is I use my, my, my, my, technically what could be is my weaknesses and I make them my strength. So I have nothing. How are we going to make this a strength? I don't have anything to hide, basically.

So I just. Apparently. not. If somebody gets some sort of entertainment out of my, you know, failures, it's then good. I'm glad. I'd rather make someone laugh and then, you know, I, myself, it's, I find enjoyment by it. But does anyone out there have any tips for Taylor? I'm dead serious right now. There's no tips. I've tried everything. No, maybe they do. Let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, I want to what, I want to hear what you've tried here. Let's, now that we're here, we might as well stay here. Okay, go, go, go, go, oh my God, that was amazing. I've heard a lot of, I've heard a

a lot of that's it or I've heard a lot of oh like don't don't worry I've heard a lot of what else have I heard oh you know that's that happens to other people too I I myself the best are ones that I say what I go oh don't worry round two will be better and there's never round two or I say what else is another good one I go oh that's never happened before bullshit the another one that I like is oh my god yeah I was just two turned on so I couldn't hold it. Oh, that's a good one. I would go with that one. Okay. So what, okay. I mean, first of all, I appreciate your honesty. I don't know how much I, I really appreciate it and then part of me really doesn't appreciate it. Now I don't know what to do. But what do you think the core

issue of this is? Because I mean, I like to, Lauren and I like to provide value in any kind of way possible. So maybe there's somebody out there that's listening that has the same problem. Maybe they have a boyfriend with the same problem. Maybe there's a guy with this problem. What do you think the core issue is here and how do you think you'd solve it? And then I never thought that this episode would turn into us solving premature ejaculation or providing by it on how to solve it. But let's go there. What do you, what do you think causes it? You know, what I actually think it is is when I was younger, I had a, what is it? Where they jam that needle up your urethra? I have no idea what that is. A catheter. Yeah,

I had a catheter. Okay, I know what a catheter is. And I think that caused some issues. But I'm, you know, it very well could be. It's nothing emotionally. If you can sum this up in too minutes. Why did, let's sidetrack. Why did you need a catheter? Because they needed to test. I had like something go wrong with like one of my kidneys when I was younger. Okay. Okay. Let's keep going. So, uh, what I was going to say is it's basically, I mean, I just find it funny. So, I basically became really good at, you know, what would be called, it's considered conalinguish. Oh, Christ. So you've Googled that. No, no, I just, you know, I'm trying to use less vulgar terms here. Just in case there's kids in the car. I think at this point, the kids, if they're in the car and

the parents are still listening. You might have to question yourself as a parent. But keep going. Okay. Well, the main reason that I don't really care about saying this is, I mean, girls talk. I mean, guys don't really kiss and tell, but girls definitely do. So you know that conversation, girl, you know, any girl that I've been intimate with has gone to her friends and been like, oh my God, like laughing. Like, wait a minute. Is that true, Lauren? Do you think that happens? Here's what I feel. I'm getting this vibe from you. Tell me if I'm like off track. I feel that you have had sex with someone that listens to this podcast that you may be embarrassed. yourself with and I feel like you're throwing it out there with subliminal messages to like

let her know that maybe you should give you another shot even if it's two seconds no no it's it's probably anybody and there's probably girls going oh my god you know what I heard that through the grapevines poor Annabelle she really missed the boat poor Annabel yeah maybe she dodged a bullet with that one shucks Annabelle literally but the one I would say the only downside to this whole thing is is I know that every girl that I've been with at one point you know when we break up course they go with the next guy and, you know, they're having intercourse and they're going, you know, at some point she goes, yes. And the guy probably goes what? And she goes, nothing. You know, because in her head she's thinking, thank God. I think you've, I mean, maybe that's happening, but I think this is very probably not so healthy that you've like really thought this through and thought about people with another guy. And like, I think I think you're going too far down the rabbit hole. And I think maybe this is contributing to the issue. No, no, I'm super confident. I'm like, I'm the most. I really just wanted to discuss travel hacks today, but I'm so confident. Like, I rock it. I'm like, yeah, I'm going to give you the best five seconds of your life. You know what?

Here's a good example. You know Jeff Bezos just became the richest man in the world. Yes. I don't see what this has to do. You're premature. Today, I might have been like crowned the fastest ejaculator in the world. I don't need. I can stand no minute man.

I don't want no minute man. I got to change the subject, Michael. I just ate keen one. I don't know if that's a crown you want to wear, buddy. Okay, so. Michael doesn't even know where to go. Why did you bring this story up? Do you have like, did something happen?

Is this, what was necessary? The question was, what have you learned about dating in 2017? And this is if you learned that you're just a. Yeah, so well, now it goes into so. A lot of people nowadays are so caught up in like the physical aspect of it that I'm really big on the emotional part of it. And that's what I'm getting is myself. I mean, I basically made, you know, good examples. I make love like a gray worm from Game of Thrones.

The guy doesn't have a penis. Yeah. He's a eunuch. He just like goes down at the girl. So, but you know, you got to get that emotion. It's all about that emotional connection. That's where the real fireworks are. Okay. Girls, they are lining up. So can you, okay, can you give an example of a time that this happened or the lot? Like, what, like, what happens when this happens? So what, you're dating somebody? You're going out? The creepiest thing, Michael, is that he wrote this down in his composition

notebook and he's using his peripherals to like look at it every five minutes to make sure he gets in everything about his premature ejaculation. Our last two episodes was a very inspirational episode with Tony Robbins and then a very inspirational episode with Kim Kelly on fitness. And now we've gone to premature ejaculation. I want to know, okay, so can you give us a story or an example or are you just saying this happens every time? No, I mean, those stories aren't, or I have a good connection. So this led to, there's things called sprays and there's things called edging. So the sprays, yeah, the sprays work, but the thing is they make you, they don't, I mean, just to be unvulgar, but they basically make you feel like you have nothing. You basically feel like

a unit. No, no, no, you feel numb. Yeah, you feel numb. Numb is like an understanding. Should we change your name from the bare naked cucumber to the bare naked eunuch? Bare naked premature, pre-mature, ejaculating cucumber. I wonder if the hair would add a little bit of protection that maybe, like, if you had the hair there, you wouldn't be so sensitive. It's to be determined.

So I, there's the only thing that worked actually, because I guess technically not so much anymore, but it's called edging. Okay, no, no, no, no. People can go Google that. I'm going to throw up if I hear about, like, edging. No, no, but it's something that's physically, if you research it, it's one of the few things that works. So anyways, the story took place is edging is, you can, I won't get into the details of it. You can, again, you can Google it, but they say to edge, but they never say beyond that. I'm sure all the girls are running to Google edging.

First of all, I, Lauren asked me when I first heard about edging if I knew what it was, and I could honestly say that none of us knew what it was. None of the guys in the office, we didn't know. So I don't even know how you figured this out. I don't need to edge. Well, let's not go down my path. But, okay, so you're, so you're edging. You're taking your, you're practicing, you're warming yourself up. You're taking yourself close to the edge, but you're never getting there.

Edging like a champ. So. And then what happens? You go on a date? So I go on a date with the girl, a couple dates with the girl. And again, she's a little older. So again, so I'm already. I want to say she's about 35.

There's a story behind that. So I'm a little nervous. I'm going, oh my God. Not only she older than me. Now I'm younger. So I have to, the last thing I ever want to do is, you know, not perform with a older woman. She said, I got myself a young stallion here. Exactly.

She's probably thinking, I've got this young buck who's really going to go to town. I'm thinking to myself, oh, my God, what am I going to do? So I'm sitting there at her place, like trying to, you know, figure out where the doors and exits are, just in case, you know, I have to somehow make a quick break for it. And things, you know, it starts to get hot and heavy. But the one thing about the edging that they don't say is, you know, before, you're supposed to edge, edge, edge, and then release. So I did the edge, edge, edge, but, it's, you know, it.

there was no release. And I would say that the reason that that's bad that I didn't do is because are you familiar with Pompeii? You know, I would have been like Mount Vesuvius, but instead of like, you know, volcanic ash, it would have been, you know, semen. Oh, my Christ. So it gets, you know, we get hot and heavy and she starts to do the grinding. And I'm thinking, oh, my God.

The whole time she's probably thinking, oh, this is going to go so great. The whole time I'm thinking, you know, trying to count down going 10099. and it probably got to maybe 91. And I kind of like, you know. So you got nine seconds in. Like push her aside and I stand up. And unfortunately, you know, fortunately she was looking away at the time. But the, I hose down.

You know, I learned something new about you every day. Nothing like learning about you and your edging on the skinny confidential him and her show. But you do talk about a lot of taboo subjects that are very interesting. and you make it, you break the walls down. Totally. I'm happy to talk about it. I hope at the end of this, though, we're going to figure out, like, is there a cure? Like, should you find anything?

Are we just sitting in the- I mean, I could have gone without the honey, you know, mustard dressing on my salad before this show. Like, you could have warned me, maybe. I need to now go back, though. So wait, so anyways, you've messed your, you've messed up your pants, right? Yeah. The girl sitting there ready to go. What do you, what do you tell her?

Does she notice? I, I'm like, oh, like, hold on. I got to use the restroom. And the downside, or the bad side is this, is I got. got it most on me. And then I would say like maybe half or one third or one fourth of it went all over her carpet. She must have been so into you. So I go into the bathroom and I'm sitting there. It's one of these tiny bathrooms right next to her bedroom. And I'm sitting there going, I don't have to go to the bathroom. I've got, you know, you know, semen all over myself, humid,

ejaculate. So I'm sitting there going, oh my God. So I'm turning the water on because I don't have to use the restroom. And it's one of those ones where you could hear the slightest tinkle. If I had to use the rest of them, so she's probably going, what is he doing in there? So I turned the water on. I feel like it's something out of, what was it, movie? Something about Mary. And I'm trying to, I'm like looking frantically for some soap. So I get the soap and I'm, you know, cleaning everything up.

And then, okay, then I turn it down. I go, okay, like, I'm thinking, oh, my God. Now you, after, you know, post-coital, you know, after technically what would be considered an orgasm, it's very difficult for a man to get erect again. Unless you're taking Viagra, which I've tried. And all that does is make everything blue. and then you have a really hard dick that comes anyways. Oh, my God.

Just in case anyone's wondering, you got all your answers. So the downside to this is I had to go back out there and I was pretending like, oh, like, yeah, like, don't worry. Like, let me, you know, let's resume this. And she's going, okay, wait a second. Why are you so undeveloped? Because it was, you know, it had went back into the turtle head. Okay. Which means non-erecked penis.

I think we, I think everyone gets what it means. I feel like I've heard like my favorite. are sure of penis. Like I've heard enough about Okay, I want to fast forward through all this because now I do that now I'm starting to be like, I'm about to throw up everywhere. Well, it's at the end of the story. So I'm telling her and she goes, oh, what's going on? And I go, oh, I'm just I'm so nervous because

I'm so into you that I'm too nervous and I can't perform. And she goes, oh, don't worry. And the whole time I was in the bathroom, I was wishing there was a back window I could have just climbed out of it. So did you guys go on another date or is that the end? No, actually we didn't. I wonder why. I can't believe it. I can't stand an old minute man. I don't want no minute man.

What a shocker. Whoa, you didn't? Okay, so is there any like, okay, so back to the question. I guess the question was all about dating in 2017. Have you, have you, what are you going to do to fix this? And there's got to be something you can do to fix this. Yeah, well, next time I'll release before. So, and then we'll see, but as of right now, to be continued on any of that.

But yeah, I just, I feel, I'm really, I'll loop it back into it. I really, I like to appeal to a girl's sense of the emotional side to her. Well, or romantic side. You're going to need to be extremely romantic, extremely to get over this. You got to be really romantic and really smart. Well, that's what. You better be like, you're like, you better be like Romeo or Casanova. You got it, I don't know what you got.

You got to start writing some sonnets and poems. That's where the cunneling is. The cunneling is comes in because then you just jump in right at the end of the race. And then you just finish strong. You know what it reminds me of is that. time we went on the hike. I didn't want to walk all the way down the hill so I jumped on the little fucking golf cart that the, what is it? The Rangers drove by. And yes, I did actually get in the golf cart. I know you did. It's taken you a year and a half to admit that you didn't

do the hike and you get on anyone on golf cart. Okay, moving on to the next question. They want to, now I'm going to, I'm really, I'm going to leave that in the dust. We're moving on and we're taking a turn here. The next question for you, Taylor, is, what are the pros and cons of working for your friends? That's actually an easy one, I believe. And there's nothing, it's not going to take a weird turn. The reason being is it's something that I've,

for about five years I've worked with Michael, but when Michael first hired me, it wasn't something that I wasn't, I was expecting. I was going to SDSU, I graduated at CSU, and I was planning on getting a job to, to for a marketing firm somewhere in San Diego. So when Michael hired me, I never had that expectations of, okay, I don't have to meet any sort of requirements for him. And when he brought me on, I was, him and I always had this technically unspoken arrangement that I would do the best

that I can to help him succeed. And he would do the best as a, you know, when I'm working for him to succeed because it's one of those things where I'm tied to him essentially as an anchor. And if one of us becomes that anchor, I'll drag him down and vice versa. So I would say that, you know, there's nothing really awkward about it because we've always had an unspoken, you know, arrangement. One thing I'll say about the relationship. I have, you know, Rocco and Dante who worked for me as well, and they're two of my best friends since first grade and that's worked out. But we have had other friends work for us and it hasn't worked out. It's not because they're not good workers or it's not because they're not good employees or good people. It's that

some friends find it difficult to separate when it's time to work on the business and when it's time to work on the friendship. And I would say the reason that Taylor and I work so well together is that we can completely take our emotion out of it when it's time to do work for the business. And same with Lauren. I don't, some friends can't do that. But with us, like, we know when it's time to work, it's time to work. And when it's time to be friends, it's time to be friends. I have a lot of people that have worked with me with the skinny confidential that I'm related to.

I've had Michael's sister Jordan, who's now my sister, work for me. And it worked out really well. She worked for me for like a year and a half. And then she wanted to move on to do her own business. which is totally understandable, especially I'm an entrepreneur. I get it. You want to put your focus on your own shit. So she went to work on an SEO business and we still work together and it ended, you know, really well and amicable. My sister Mimi, Mimi is like my right hand man, works for us all the time 24-7. She's amazing. She helps with everything from the dogs to helping me pack,

to running around, to doing emails, to, you know, newsletters, kind of everything. And it's worked out really well. And I feel like Mimi and I have grown together. We actually started out working together in my one-bedroom apartment on the floor. She started doing Pinterest and helping me kind of categorize everything and organize it. And from there, we slowly grew together. I think it's really helpful when you slowly grow together. I think that's how it's been with Rocco and Dante and Taylor and you as well. it's like you grow together instead of a part. So I would definitely recommend if you have someone working for you that's a relative or a sister that you just need to really have a conversation and get real with it

and understand that you guys are growing together and not separately. So you want to do everything you kind of support each other. No, I think that's a really good way to explain. And I kind of want to envelope and answer this question from both sides. But before I jump in, I kind of want to have Taylor, I want you to kind of give perspective to somebody who may be working for a family. member or a friend going into their business, what advice would you give to somebody? I would say the one thing. So when you work for a standard company that you don't know,

you know, the CEO or the owners and you work, you know, have a manager. If a manager comes to tell you to do something, you would never question it at all and you can't. And even if you did the manager would say, who the hell, you know, what the hell you're saying, shut up and get to work. But when I work with Michael or you work with a family member or even a friend, it's weird because you have that almost if they say, if they make a decision or they tell you to do something and you're not because you don't want to do it. This is that's not where I'm going at this at all. But for instance, say they're unaware of something or maybe you think you need a voice of concern to them that maybe they're not making the right decision or potentially could

be, you know, leading the company down the path that would, you know, ultimately harm things. You have to make sure you have to, because, you know, you don't want to be ignorant or march blindly because you could end up hurting your family's business or your friend's business. So you really have to kind of choose when to be the friend, when to kind of combine the friend and work role to go to him and say, hey, listen, I know I work with you. And of course, I respect all the decisions, but I want to let you know that maybe we should,

you know, maybe alter course or do this or change something. What I would say Taylor does for me that I think is tremendously valuable, which is why I think we've worked together for so long as I've told him for years, I said, listen, if you see me going down a path or you see a decision that I'm making and you see a better way to do it or you see another way to do it or you think it's a mistake, voice it. If at that point, I still say, hey, let's still continue with the path I chose, then he'll do it. But at the same time,

there's a lot of times when Taylor stepped in. I'm like, oh, you know what? You're right. That's a better way to do it. And I'm fully open to that. I think there has to be the relationship, both on the employer and the employee side, though, where you feel comfortable saying, like, listen, this is the best for the business. And if you can separate what's the best for the individual, whether it's the employers thinking for themselves or the employee thinking themselves, and you put the business first. I think at that point, you can work collaboratively with people and get the best results for the business. And by the way, Michael, and I work together and we're a couple and that definitely comes with its own set of issues. I feel like

that's a whole podcast episode in itself. I mean, it's very hard to work with your significant other. I don't care what way you spend it. It's hard to shut it off. It's hard to go in the bedroom and be like, you know, I'm still on my computer. Maybe he's, he's doing something else and you're talking about business and it's like, wait a minute, we're in the bedroom. This is supposed to be about romance. So I definitely think that it is a fine line and you really have to have an open, you know, communication line. Okay, let's switch it up. up here. Farah asks, my boyfriend is a taker in the bedroom. How can I make him be more of a giver? Michael, why did you look at Taylor for that? Well, I think he just, I mean, he sounds like he's the

biggest giver in the world. Are you a giver though? Oh, I'm a huge giver. I'm technically a giver. A giver is not just like doing oral on a girl. That's just not the only way to give. There's other ways to give besides that. You know that, right? Well, how, I mean. I feel like you don't know that. I mean, like what is what else would I mean, obviously giving, they're not attributing this to standard intercourse, meaning like, you know, standard penetration because that would be beneficial to both people. So maybe he's going, so what she's giving him oral nonstop and then he's going to like, thank you. She never said oral. She said my boyfriend is a taker. A taker. That could mean a lot of different things. It doesn't, your mind goes straight to oral. What is he taking from her? Her soul? I thought you said you were a romantic. No, I am, but that's why. Okay. So if, if, if I, if I, if I, If some girl said, hey, you're just a taker. I mean, yeah, we're cavemen.

So he's like bonking her over the head, throwing her onto the bed and just, you know, taking what he wants and her waking up later and going like, well, oh. You just described rape. That's not what I meant. That's by no means that I mean in that sense. I'm talking about, you know, it's either, it's either consensual. That's, again, sounds like rape because that's not where we're going with this in any way. But I think.

Can you move your face closer to the mic? I think in order to be a real giver, you have to find out what the person really likes. and the reason I'm very good at, you know, what would be considered the, the conalinguists. Can you, I don't want you to say that word one more time on this show. I don't think there's ever,

I don't think that word's ever been used more in less than an hour in my life. Kind of isn't, I thought that's the term for when a guy goes down and a girl. Let's just call it going downtown. Going downtown. So let's just, I think that,

some girls are different, you know, depending on the girl. I mean, I know girls that some really, really get off from, you know, what would be considered clitoral,

stimulation. Some aren't. Some like, you know. I'm just going to go ahead and say I feel like the whole sex conversation. Maybe you're like not the best person in the world to give advice. Well, like I said, remember, I've never had a friend say you're great at giving advice. Well, in that, in that respect. Your friend was right. So. Your friend was right. They always go, okay, like, what are you going to say next? So that's where that's, you know, surprise. My advice here would be maybe a little bit more PG than yours. And it would be that if someone was a taker in the bedroom, I would ask them to give me a massage first. I would make them give first. I would flip it on them.

I would also question and say, listen, if this person's just taking from me all the time, he's probably doing it in other ways. I've never had a girl reference me as a taker. You just take and take and take and take. I feel like girls have referenced you as other things than a taker or a giver. Too bad I'm not like a superhero. Could have been like the ejaculator. And I would like, you know, start to go save someone and then go, I'm already finished. I'm out here.

wouldn't work. Oh my God. So technically, yeah, that's why it becomes so good at, like, you know, pleasing women. It's like you give them a foot massage. Women like foot massage. That's probably the smartest thing you've said. The whole podcast, women do like foot massages. Yeah, they do.

Hint, hit, Michael. Back rubs. Oh, my God. You know what you do? You light one of those candles or a couple candles, the scented ones, vanilla, maybe some cinnamon. Or some put-per-per-pe-perie. I don't like a pop-a-caddle when I'm having sex. I don't really think there's a lot of girls that like a pot-rey candle.

Or is that the smell of like pine? Well, I thought you were going to be able to come on here today and really give some good dating advice and help some people out. Wrong again. After getting only two matches and telling your story of your preemie days, I don't think you're going to be the person. We might have to get an expert on the show. I think we should get a sex expert.

I think we will. I think that would be a good topic. I think I'd like to talk to a real expert. What would you tell Farah? If someone's just, I mean, I wouldn't stand for it. If someone's just a taker the whole time, I'd be out of it. of there. I mean, but that's me. My advice a little bit harsh. I mean, I'd say, listen, I got to go. I got to go find somebody else. Really? Yeah. I mean, I'd say, listen, you go to trial period about a

month and if it ain't working, I'm leaving. Would you call me a giver or a taker? I'd say you a giver. Oh, thanks, honey. I once went down on a girl for like 45 minutes. That would be considered a take her. I bet you she fell asleep. No, she was not asleep. Trust me. She was riding and joy. Oh, my Christ. Okay. This is my final question for you, Taylor. It's been asked multiple times. And I actually, I don't, I want to know this for my own curiosity. What would you be doing if you weren't working for us? Okay, so this is going to be a little weird, actually.

Okay. So there's three things. One, I always have always, always, always wanted to be an FBI agent. Okay. I feel like, I don't, I don't think that's the right career for you. You might, you might, I don't know if they'll accept you. You might go off and fire your gun a little too early. I don't need, I can stand no minute man.

I don't want no minute man. No, it's because I'm good at analytical stuff in deep thinking, so I wanted to be a detective to solve crimes. So, we're not a detective, but I wanted to be an investigator. The second one would be a comedian because I like to make people laugh, or just enjoy, or they could laugh if you don't care. Hey, I'm interrupting you here because Weston told me the other day. I find out things through the Great Plan through Weston,

because you guys work together a lot. Taylor is going to start doing some open mic sessions and he didn't tell us about it. I don't know why, but he told a lesson. Wait, wait, wait, wait. What do you mean? Why don't I know about this? That's what I'm writing down in this book. He's writing his jokes down material. So you're going to stand up in front of an audience and do jokes. Yes. Okay. Okay. I'll be your manager. I'm doing a skinny confidential meetup. Probably in the next two months. Will you stand up? Okay. Can you open it? I would do it. I'm not saying it's going to go well, but I at least I feel like when I'm right when I write something down, I'm laughing or I'm like in the gym and I'm, laughing. I wake. I'm like sleeping. I go, that's funny. I write it down. So I just started doing this probably three days ago. So to be continued. Okay. What's the third thing? The third one, believe it or not is a hitman, a contract killer. I know that you can't really go into that field. But as a young kid, I did karate, as some of you might know from my Instagram, because I posted a picture of myself in my ghee, which is my uniform with my orange belt. But I remember they went around and they said, you know, what do you want to be when you grow up? And I actually wrote

down Hitman. And they thought it was very fucking weird. It is very fucking weird to be a kid and want to kill people. But go on. Yeah, but they're bad guys. Or at least you think they're bad guys. What if I gave you a contract to go and kill someone that wasn't necessarily a bad guy, but was like kind of impeding us in some way or something? Would you do it?

Could you kill an innocent is what I'm saying? Well, I mean, technically I'm not in the field at the moment. So I would have to be, I'd have to build up some. Did you take all emotion out of it? I don't think so. That's a good question. And you might fire your gun again too early. So another thing where you might go off too early.

Good thing. Yeah, so somewhere in between there I landed in here, which is like, it's like a good medium. But I could be like maybe like a comedian, hitman, FBI agent. Well, your contract is up for review in the next month and we might have to revisit a few things. There's a lot that's come to light that I'm not so sure about anymore. Guys, I hope you enjoyed that episode.

with Taylor. That was an interesting one. Hope you turned it down at some certain parts. Actually, I hope you turned it down the whole episode if you had kids in the car. Taylor, thank you for being here. Thank you for telling us your bizarre stories. They're not bizarre. They're very, they're very personal. And I like to look at this way. If my weaknesses ever make anybody laugh, that's all I really care about. And you can find me on Twitter or Instagram at Tales You Die. And you could look for his new comedy tour. He's going on tour and the tour is called the two early tour. And Annabel, don't be sad that, you know, you guys aren't dating because you really, you missed a good one. Yeah, I mean, now she doesn't have to worry about getting her carpet cleaned. You know what she's going to say is she's going to

listen to this and go, thank God. Like I said, you know, that's what every other girl says after. It's like, oh my God. Yeah, she's probably grinning from here to air right now. Well, Taylor, you're endearing. I don't know what this is going to do for your dating career. It's probably not going to help too much, but. Maybe you remove the skinny confidential. pop socket. You know what? I guarantee you it's probably going to do better. That's your move. You go early and then right after you say, do you know Lauren of the Skinny Confidential? All right, you guys.
