Back again.
Not with that intro.
I'm doing by radio voice. I decided to
commandeer the intro.
I can't deal with that. You did that in bed the other day and I almost broke up with you.
Hi guys, we are back.
Too much information.
With the skinny confidential, him and her podcast, we've got Michael, Jordan, and me, Lauren here.
Boone is on Michael's lap, pixies under Michael's foot.
And we've got a lot of interesting topics to discuss today.
but first, let's talk about our weekend.
Well, we did a whole lot of nothing.
So I don't know how interesting that's going to be.
Lauren took me to become a human pin cushion.
You love it.
You love it.
Yeah, I go and I get acupuncture now from a guy named Taylor, ironically.
And, yeah, I don't know how I feel about it.
Okay, he loves it, and he will.
think it's his idea in two weeks after his next appointment. He will go out to dinner with friends
and tell them all about his new discovery called acupuncture that he discovered and why that
person should try it because he discovered it and it's his discovery. And by the way, did you hear
about his discovery? I don't think I get the same like reaction that you and Jordan get. I mean you
both do it. Jordan does it. Jordan goes to Taylor. I love it. And by the way, his name's Taylor,
Taylor, which is awesome. That's amazing. I never trust a person with two first names. Your name is Michael
He has two first same names or Dick Dick when you're acting like an asshole.
Yeah, Taylor Taylor has two names, a first name and the last name, Taylor Taylor, and he's at Fix and Hellcrest, and he is literally amazing.
He gives me acupuncture and it's the most relaxing thing and I'm deathly afraid of needles, like to the point where I faint, so it's really weird that I can even do it.
I recommended it to Jordan.
Thoughts, what do you think?
Fix is like the greatest thing you ever recommend it to me.
I must say. I might just only be your friend because you recommended that to me. I have now done
cryotherapy. Not too big of a fan. Let's talk about cryotherapy for a minute. Let's do a little,
let's do a little detour. I got tricked into going. I thought we were going for like a coffee or something.
See, what you should do girls is you should manipulate your boyfriend into going somewhere. So here's
how you do it. You say that you have an appointment, but you say it last minute, like right before the
appointment is, and you have to go to this appointment and you need them to drive you right away. So they drive you,
and then you manipulate them into coming into the place with you.
This was cryotherapy.
And then you put them on the spot in front of the owner
and say that they should try it and they should be open to new ideas.
Meanwhile, while the owner's selling them on it, you Snapchat the whole thing.
And then you make them get into a freezing cold cryotherapy tank
and you watch their dick shrivel off.
Well, there was no watching of dick shrivels.
I had my binoculars out.
I basically got put into a position where if I didn't do it,
I was just going to look like the biggest bitch in the world.
So I was like, fine, you know what, I'll do it.
I'll get in the, I'll get in the cryotherapy.
So I'm in there and they put me in these big shoes that are like five times over the size.
They get me in a robe that somebody had left behind somewhere.
And I'm in there.
I'm in this booth and it's fucking freezing.
Taylor, you would hate.
Taylor would just be dead.
He can't even go below 72.
If you went in this, how cold is it good?
I think it gets to 42 degrees for three minutes and you're naked and your nipples literally freeze off.
but it's amazing because when you get out, you get like these endorphins, like, kind of after
you, like, had an orgasm, you get like endorphins through your whole body, and it's amazing.
I mean, I don't want to like deter anybody, but I didn't have an orgasm, okay?
I'm not saying you have an orgasm.
Well, I don't, I didn't feel like I was having an orgasm.
Well, your penis is too shriveled up for you to be having anything.
I was inspecting it.
I had my opera glasses out.
I felt like a woman when I got out.
I was freezing.
I felt, I feel like the blood all, like, pooled in my body.
I mean, I'm not, I'm not saying anything bad about it.
it I'm just saying I'm not in a huge rush to run back in a little cryo chamber.
So to continue the wellness theme, we brought it to acupuncture and cupping, and he's done
it before, and he's going to lie to you guys and say he doesn't like it.
No, I like the feeling after.
You know, this time I got it done in my hand.
I've had problems in my hand for a long time, especially in my knuckles.
And it was intense on the hand.
I don't know.
The back is no problem.
The neck is no problem, but the hand is intense.
It was aching for a solid 15 hours.
Yeah, but you fall asleep like a baby in our bed, like literally curled up like a baby because it literally puts you to sleep.
And it was great because I wanted to watch Real Housewives and I didn't have to hear you complain about it.
And you slept through the night, no waking up, and you love it.
Yeah, no, I don't know if I love it.
I like, I'm open to it.
I like it.
I would do it again.
But I'm not like, once again, people, I think everything is moderation.
Everyone that gets so obsessed with something.
Oh, he's such a poor.
it down, you know, try this, try that. Would I do cryotherapy again? I don't think so. Would
I do acupuncture, probably? Coughing? Maybe. You'd get cupped again. Yeah, maybe. I like the slide
cupping. I like the slide cupping too. Yeah, it's like they, explain what that is. It's basically
like, well, cupping is where they put the cup on you and it just suction's in one place. This,
they like put the suction cup on you and drag it around. It's like a reverse massage. Taylor,
Taylor told me that he won't do that on guys because they're such pussies. So he did it on
Did you cry?
No, I was like, whatever, Taylor, Taylor.
Let's get going.
No, you weren't.
You weren't.
Let's talk about the time you did cupping before a beautiful skin shoot.
Oh, that was funny.
I don't want to get into.
That's a story.
No, you have to be like.
I won't get into the brand, but anyways, we show up and Lauren had to do something for
beautiful skin, and the whole campaign was about beautiful skin, beautiful, beautiful, clear
skin.
And she showed up with her whole back and cupping marks.
Okay, can I defend myself here?
First of all, cupping marks usually take two weeks to disappear, and I literally
forgot that I had cupping marks on me because I'm not like one of those people that like stands in
the mirror every day and inspects myself naked like I have never seen you do that but I guess you do
do that because you would have noticed you had cupping marks on you I I'm not one of those people that
like stares at myself in the mirror and says oh like look what's over here and I don't have time to do
that so I showed up at the shoot and I forgot that I had cupping marks on my back and um but don't worry
we were reminded very quickly by about 75 people and
The makeup team was rushed to the shoot.
So, yeah, that was our weekend, a lot of cupping, a lot of acupuncture, a lot of relaxation,
and then we got a lot of work done yesterday and worked out.
So it was pretty mellow, very uncochella.
Yeah, so let's get into the show.
We have four questions today, and Jordan, go for it.
Okay, Savon Vardi asks, I have been experiencing some rude comments due to
to the point where it is borderline harassment.
I would love to know how you guys handle situations like this.
Lauren?
I have had so many rude comments and so many rude things said to me,
and at this point I have to say I'm unaffected by it.
It maybe affected me five years ago when I first started,
and now it doesn't even faze me.
Really?
Yes.
And I think it's one of those things where you have to just kind of grow,
with it. Like, just let time pass and you start to just develop a thicker skin. That's so cliche.
But the more it happens to you, the more kind of unaffected you get. I think that if you are
getting comments and they are bothering you, you should focus your energy towards something else.
And you're really about energy, so don't you think? I completely agree with what you're saying.
I think it's unfortunate that people are so intense like that, that they want to say something
negative. What I would say is that you just need to remember that whatever's being said is not about
you. It's about the person saying it. And so I have a completely different approach than most people
to something like this. I actually feel bad or not bad, but I feel sorry for the person that is
saying the negative things because I feel like there's something wrong or something going on with them.
I mean, for me, I actually have a different approach to most people. I feel like if someone's talking about
me, I get pumped on that. I know that sounds crazy. He's like, oh yeah, like you could be saying the
shit about me ever, but I would prefer that as opposed to people not talking about me
and not making me feel like I'm relevant.
I'm just so bored with it.
If somebody's talking about you, I had a buddy a long time ago.
I said, if they're hating on you, you're doing something right.
I mean, that's very JZ of you.
It's true.
But you're right, you're right.
I just think that it's, who has time?
Like, who has time?
I mean, do you know what I mean?
Who has time to go on the internet, write a negative comment?
it takes so much energy to do that for me it's like and I just delete it so what's the what's the point
and if people think that that they're that they're getting to you after five years or 10 years or
three years of doing something it's just it's going to the trash like the other ones it's just
it's negative if it's something though that's valid that I can address I will address it
for instance if it's a long time reader and they're like I didn't like this post you did and
Here's why.
And here's what I think you should have done.
I will absolutely address it.
I'm fine with that.
I'm open to constructive criticism.
What I'm not open to is negative bullshit.
Yeah.
My whole thing, I don't let things like this bother me.
It was funny because Lauren was looking at me strange a few mornings ago.
And she was like, you know, I couldn't figure out what was wrong.
I thought it was something I did.
And she says, you know, I've been nervous to tell you because these comments came in.
And I said, like, I think she's,
thought I was going to be really upset about it.
And I was fired up.
I was like, yes.
I was like I made it.
Like people are talking about me.
Like I'm like, you know, I'm out there.
Like people are saying things.
Yeah.
Michael's put him up like have been in the background like the Wizard of Oz for the last four
years and now he's coming out and putting himself out there.
And with that is going to come negative comments.
I mean, it's just the nature of the beast.
And with social media nowadays, people are worried about putting themselves out there
because they're worried about the negative repercussions.
But the positivity.
that you get outweighs that negativity so much that it's entirely worth it.
Yeah, I mean, sometimes people will comment mean things to Snapchat to me,
and I just, I really, like, it doesn't bother me at all,
and I know people say that that shit doesn't bother them,
but really, like, I don't think there's anything in the world
that anyone can say to me that would bother me.
Like, there's just not, like, you could, I just don't,
I'm very confident person, like, and I think that, to answer your question,
what do you do?
Channel that confidence.
Is you need to channel that confidence.
You need to channel that, like, really, it's not about you or what you're doing.
It's about them.
If somebody has the time or the energy to take out of their day and write a mean comment to you,
you've got to really be thinking, like, who's sitting on the other side of that comment
and what's going so wrong in their life that they need to take a time out of their day to write mean shit.
On that note, since we're kind of on the subject, not only do I get some negative comments on Snapchat,
I get tons of positive, but I also get a lot of dick picks.
As you guys know, I talk about it a lot.
lately I've been getting a lot of dick picks with a piercing.
Ew.
Yeah, they send me their dick pierced, and that's kind of another negative thing that I just block.
So when I get anything that I don't like, I just block it.
You know, I've gotten some dick pics, too.
No, you haven't.
I really have.
Have you gotten some pierced ones?
This was like a full bar-ball.
I haven't gotten any pierced ones.
This was like a belly-honry.
You haven't made it until you got the pierce one.
I guess I haven't made it.
It's called the Prince Charles.
Is it really called the Prince Charles?
I'm not sure.
Taylor, but no.
Taylor, do you have a Prince Charles?
No, I'm pretty sure.
I'm checking.
Okay, thanks for Googling that.
You're on it.
But anyways, yeah, I have a guy that loves to send me his cock pierced, and it's really
disgusting, but it's really funny.
Right when you think you made it, you realize you haven't.
So, yeah, along with negative comments, you're going to get gross pictures.
So it comes with the, oh, thank you, Taylor, for that visual.
We'll put it on Instagram.
Oh, dude, that is pretty gnarly.
I'm literally hiding my eyes.
Okay, next question.
Moving on.
Lori Dex asks, what are your thoughts on man grooming?
My boyfriend has a pretty interesting take on it, help with an exclamation point.
Two exclamation points.
So we're just continuing the penis theme.
It was a perfect segue.
That's a great segue.
Taylor really segued it with that visual.
Man grooming.
Honey, do you want to go first since you're the man that's doing the grooming?
No, listen, I don't go to, I don't groom too much.
I just don't like a mess down there.
You know, I don't need to be, I don't need to come out looking like a 1972 Afro.
Okay, like I need, I want to have, I want to have a clean landscape.
Jordan, cover your ears.
I'm literally scared.
I definitely don't want to go the 12-year-old boy route, but I'd like it a little bit clean down there just so that I can get around.
Michael Bostic, always providing value and content.
Yes.
Man grooming.
Okay, first of all, like, don't go crazy.
No one wants like a completely shaven canvas with like a huge cucumber popping out.
That's way too gnarly.
Just go.
Or worse, a small cucumber or baby carrot.
Taylor, why are you giggling in the corner?
Oh, Taylor's girl makes him go completely bald.
No, he doesn't.
He goes, he's like a, he's like a wet seal.
This is very, we're going down a taboo route.
So Taylor, you're a bald eagle?
Yes, I am, unfortunately.
Fortunately, more or less.
So, yeah, I guess Taylor can provide some insight on that.
I can't.
I don't like a bald eagle.
No offense, Tay.
It's like going to get a haircut every week.
It gets time-consuming.
Yeah, that sounds like it would get time-consuming.
Just like I don't have time to look at myself naked in the mirror every day.
I don't know how you can, like, groom down there every day.
That's a lot of dedication.
I go in with the clippers, just clean it up.
Yeah, we know you go in with the clippers.
It's left over in the toilet for me to look at.
Flesh that.
Jordan, what's your opinion?
I don't have an opinion.
I am just over here, awkward.
My palms are sweating because this conversation.
Yeah, this is awkward.
There's nothing like talking about like shaving down there.
Mom, if you're listening, thank you for the Clippers for Christmas.
There's nothing more awkward than talking about this subject next to your brother and sister-in-law.
Great.
We love to keep it awkward here at the speaking of course.
So what's your opinion, my opinion is not too much, not too little in between.
Let's keep it chic. We got stuff to do. We don't have time to bear it all every day. Sorry, Taylor.
And just don't go overboard in any arena. For instance, I'm going to compare this to eyebrows really quickly, and then we can move along from the penis subject.
So when I look at a guy that has overly plucked eyebrows, I can't. Like, I just can't with that.
It looks like he spent too much time in the mirror and too much time on himself. And to be honest, it looks a little narcissistic.
So the same goes for like a penis area. Like, let's not get.
too narcissistic about our weaners. Sorry, Taylor, again. Um, so Jordan's laughing. So with,
with the guy's eyebrows, like, just not too much, not too little, just maybe a little between
the universe and you're good. Let's keep the theme going downward. Lucky for you, I got some real
bushy caterpillars. No, you don't. We learned how to brush up and I waxed in between your eyebrows.
All right, moving on. Next question. Okay, thank God. Next question.
Jessica S. asks, I'm about to graduate college. I don't.
don't have a job and I don't know what the hell I want to do. I feel like a loser. Do you have any
tips for me? Aw. Well, boo-hoo, Jessica. You and every other college kid. I know that's an
aggressive answer. You guys were probably not looking for that one, but let me just be honest. Like,
that's what everyone that's getting out of college or getting out of school has to deal with it.
Yeah, I felt like that. Everyone has to do with it. How did you feel? Like, tell the audience that
was real boo-hoo for you. Like, tell them how you were. Okay, so I, when I was in school and everything
I studied in school was in the real estate market. And it was perfect timing in two,
2008 when everything in the real estate market was absolutely crashing and going into the fucking shit pit.
So, yeah, I was definitely freaked out.
I got out of school and I pursued some stuff in real estate and got my ass kicked.
And then guess what?
I had no clue what I was going to do and I was making no money and I was living at home at my parents' house again after being an independent man or so-called independent man for the last four years in school.
And so, yeah, I think like this is a normal thing.
Like you're going to get out of school.
You're going to struggle a little bit.
like you're not supposed to get out of school and make thousands and thousands of dollars and
millions and millions of dollars right out the way. You're going to have to put in some time and
some work and yeah, you're going to have to stumble around for a little while. That's just, that's
just how it is. I mean, this is not a unique situation. Every single person in the entire world
gets out of college and feels incredibly undefined. That's okay. In fact, it's actually kind of
good for your soul to feel undefined for a little because then it gives you a clear direction,
I think. I was actually in school and I felt undefined. School was never it for me. I didn't get it. I didn't
jive with it. So when I got out of school, I still felt undefined and it was an awful feeling so I can
totally relate to what you're going through. I would just say that, again, create like a place,
like a journal or a poster board or whatever it is where you can just start jotting down ideas
that define you. And whether that's health or wellness or, you know, doing someone's hair or just
anything, just start writing things down that you love that do define you that don't have to do
with just school. I think it's really fleeting to put such a pressure on going to school and
thinking that that's going to set the tone for your entire life. And depending on that, it's like
putting all your eggs in the college basket. Don't do that. There's a lot of ways you can make money
that have actually nothing to do with college.
And also, don't just let work in college define you.
There's other things that you can be defined by.
No, and let me just say this.
You're talking or listening to two people that have been in the exact same situation
and the circumstances have changed a little bit since then.
So I don't want you to take my, oh, boo-hoo answer.
It's like, wow, this guy's being mean and he doesn't understand.
Like, we've both been there.
We both had no clue what we're going to do.
We've had no idea.
I was cocktailing.
You were working with your uncle.
I was working on a construction site,
making no money. I had no idea what I wanted to do for a business. You know, it's, it's part of it. It's
part of the growth. And I think that, that it, that people just need to live that part of it. And it's,
don't put so much pressure on yourself either. You're 21. Go have fun. And you know what else I would say,
is you don't need to, like, just because you're in school doesn't mean you can't be working towards
a career or, or even working. Like, there's a lot of students I see that because they're in
school, they say, well, school's my job. You know, there's so many hours. You know, there's so many hours.
in the day you can go get a part-time job you can go do some internships you can
go interview I mean what I would suggest if you're in college and you're and you're
confused about what you want to do is go and find five to ten CEOs or CFOs of
companies that you admire and set up a time where you can interview them and just
and just email as many as you can people you admire and I in all sorts of
different fields and after you've done that process and after you've met with
those different people in those different fields you probably have a better
idea of the direction you want to go. But be proactive about it. I have to be honest. I agree with
everything you're saying and I'm just going to take it a little bit further and people might not want
to hear this answer. I think the whole I'm in school so I can't get a job is so boring. I think
that you should absolutely be doing things to propel yourself in other areas other than just school
while you're in school. I think you should be interning or or getting out there and contacting
companies or starting to plan what your life is. I see so many 18-year-olds right now on the
internet doing YouTube channels and fucking killing it. I mean, just because you're a certain age
doesn't mean you have to be grouped into that box of doing the college thing and just, you know,
being in a sorority and parting. To be honest, I was in a sorority for 10 minutes. I didn't like
being bossed around and I didn't understand the point of paying $800 a semester to be in a
sorority. That's me. That's what worked for me is to not be in a sorority. You might be different. I'm
telling you what worked for me. So instead of being in a sorority, I focused on building my blog.
And as I said before, it took a year to build that. So I channeled my energy in a different way.
I think that just because you're in school, you shouldn't just use that as, oh, I can't do anything
because I'm in school. Explore what you love. I don't care if it's even taking yoga classes or
getting a teacher training license for peer bar or, you know, like, apprenticing under someone
that cuts hair because you're interested in hair, whatever it is, don't let college be an excuse
for you not to do something that is working towards your dreams. Yeah, and I think to beat into that,
it's kind of like going to high school and then getting out and being like, oh shit, what do I do now,
right? But you're not expected to do anything right out of high school. You're expect to go to
college. So the reason people get scared out of college is because they go to college, they do their
classes, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden, like Lauren said, you get out of school
and you're like, oh, wait, there's nothing else set up for me. It's not, this is, there's like no,
there's not another move. And so you have to kind of go figure it out. So while you're in college,
like Lauren said, there's no reason why you can't be interning or working a little or figuring out
something or working. And how boring is the expectations? Yeah, but if you're expected. Yeah, but if you're
out of school, then.
Even if you're like in high school, I don't understand why that's an excuse to just be in high school.
In fact, if everyone's doing something and everyone's just focusing on high school, why not do something different?
I'm all about if everyone's going right, let's go left.
So if everyone's just focused on school and college, how can you do something that's different?
You want to find that white space, right?
Yeah.
So this is like a more deeper question.
And honestly, we gave an interview today, me and Lauren, and we were asked the, or Lauren and I,
We were asked the question, a question like I'm going to say, what are your three tips?
And my three tips are really simple.
It's patience, consistency, and authenticity.
When I say patience, I mean have the patience to wait for something to come.
It's going to happen.
Life's a long time.
Consistently, meaning consistently work on something towards forward progression every single day.
It doesn't need to be a huge thing.
You just need to constantly be moving forward.
And authenticity means doing something that's authentic to yourself.
And if you do those three things and you have a lot.
enough patience, you'll be fine.
And just because you're in high school or college or elementary school or whatever the
fuck you're in doesn't mean you can't be working towards something that's bigger than what
you're expected to do.
I think everyone at this table has changed what they're doing like three or four times.
Jordan, even Jordan and Taylor.
For sure.
No, Taylor's kept it bare the entire time.
Besides that I have.
Yeah, I think that.
And I'll probably change it again, right?
No, Jordan, speak on that.
You've changed it up.
You've changed it here and there.
Yeah, I think that the biggest thing is that you're always thinking about what you want
and what you're passionate about and what you want to do with your life.
And you're always working on yourself professionally and personally.
So if you don't know what you want to do, figure it out.
I just like, you know, I have a hard time with these questions because I really just don't feel sorry for anybody that hasn't put in the time, right?
I just think.
Well, maybe she has put in the time.
No, it's impossible for you to have.
put in the time if you're getting out of college. There's just no way. I haven't even put in the time yet,
right? Like, it's been 11 years from me that work, and I'm not there yet. Like, when I say putting in
the time, I mean really putting in the time and not expecting to be a multimillionaire or an overnight
success straight out of college. Really? Like, it's just, you got to put in the time, guys. That's it.
All right. Next question. Okay, Lexi B asks, what do you do after a breakup? I'm low-key,
obsessed with my ex. What do you do to move on and not look stupid?
Ouch.
Okay.
You do, if everyone else is going right, remember, you go left.
So in my opinion, and Michael, correct me if I'm wrong, a lot of girls get a little cuckoo after a breakup when they're invested in a guy and he suddenly decides to clip it.
Would you say?
Yeah, but I would not just say girls.
I think guys do the same thing.
Maybe girls.
Oh, yeah, guys too.
Sorry, excuse me, guys too.
Maybe girls sometimes can do things on the crazier side.
I know I haven't had the smoothest of experiences in the past.
But my advice would be to touch on Lawrence is to disappear.
Disappear like a ghost in the wind.
Get the hell out of there.
Make him or her wonder what the fuck happened and where this person went.
Here's what you don't do.
You don't pretend like you left your sweater at his house when you didn't just to see him.
I've heard that one so many times.
You, if you share a dog, you don't try to dress up and take 600 hours on your makeup and drop the dog like you casually just rolled out of bed.
You don't stalk him at the movies when he's on a date with his new girlfriend, and you certainly do not break into his email.
Those are a couple of the ones I've heard.
In my opinion, you go radio fucking silent.
You go left when everyone's going right, and you do your own thing and focus on your own true.
trajectory, and in my opinion, males are attracted to that.
Yes or no, Michael Bostick.
Yeah, and my past experiences whenever I've had my dogs picked up by someone else
or my internet broken into or my tires slashed or...
Have you really had your tire slashed?
Have you really had your tire slashed?
Or...
No, that was me when you were rude to me.
Had someone show up at a date or any of the number of things.
I always thought to myself, hmm, wouldn't it be nice if this just didn't happen?
Well, I've never been psycho to you.
No, you haven't, but we've never broken up.
So,
I bet you'd be pretty fucking psycho if we broke up.
No,
I really wouldn't.
I've moved to New York and be like late at it.
No,
I know because I'm moving to New York.
No,
no,
no,
I'm literally calling it.
I claimed that city if we break up.
I go to New York.
You go somewhere else.
Go anywhere else in the world.
I'm really sorry that you think that,
but I've literally told you
a hundred times that I'm moving to New York.
You guys heard it here.
I got dibs on New York.
I'm going to Louisiana.
I'll go to Paris with your credit card.
That's probably okay.
No,
but really,
really.
I think that you guys.
should just make sure that you are not in any way giving off a desperate smell. And when I mean
a desperate smell, I mean nothing that that makes it seem like you're sitting around pining for the guy.
Go off, do your own thing. Focus on your job. Focus on your friends. Focus on working out and getting
the best ass you can ever get. And if the guy doesn't come back, then he's not worth it. And to me,
I don't want to be with anyone that doesn't want to be with me. Like I've never wanted to be with
someone that's not like dying to be with me like what a waste of time um so i just think i just think
that you just should do your own thing and not fixate on the breakup no and i would just play it this way
um imagine the roles reversed and you broke up with someone and you were just turned off you were
done this has happened to me you were finished like and i'm just playing devil's advocate here you're
finished and you break up with the person and they start to become completely ballistic
psychopath stalking you, following you around.
Stop describing my ex.
Begging for you to come back.
Just kidding.
You're going to be turned off.
So just imagine if the roles were reversed.
And please do not make the mistake of trying to convince them that they love you and miss you.
If they can't figure that out on their own, then they're never going to figure it out.
And you're not going to convince them.
Yeah.
I think that a huge part of attraction comes from a challenge and comes from independence.
I think it's very attractive to men and women.
And I think the second that you show that card of desperation, it's like you're playing poker and you're showing your card.
Yeah.
Just keep on your own trajectory and don't worry about what they're doing and you'd be surprised what happens.
And if nothing does happen, then they're not the one for you.
And you say next.
Yeah.
And men and women, I've said it once and I'll say it again, please do not act like hungry beavers.
Because...
What is up with you in that word?
I just picture like a beaver with his teeth out, like chomping through.
would and that's how I imagine somebody that's like really like have you ever acted like a hungry
beaver no I I will never do it if me and you broke up I would you and I you and I would be out like you
would be like people would be like what the fuck did that guy go he's gone like he's gone you never here
you would be dead no and listen guys girls if you need to get a cry out especially men men
men please Christ sakes if you need to get a cry out then I have a lot of friends a cry I mean like
if you need to if you're down you need to get a cry listen there's men have you had a cry out
No, listen, even if I did, this is my point.
Even if I did, men, there's nothing wrong with having a cry, you know?
As a matter of fact, your friends will understand that you're going to have a cry.
But for God's sakes, don't do it in front of us, okay?
Go, lock yourself in the closet.
So when Taylor breaks up, he has to.
No, listen, I'm going to be like Taylor.
I know Taylor's very upset.
We're all going to know.
We're going to expect that he's going to have a cry.
He's going to snout coming out of his room.
He's going to have snot coming out of his nose.
He's going to be in the closet crying.
And you know what?
Then I expect him to show up to work the next day, stone cold face, work like nothing's going on.
So you're telling people not to have any emotions.
No, listen.
No, I'm telling them to have their emotions, but men, and this is for men, not so much for you women.
I'm not going to miss there.
But there is nothing worse than talking to one of your guy friends when he's sniveling and crying and snot is coming out of his nose about how he just broke up with a girl.
When you know damn well in three or four months, he's going to be with another girl.
guess what? All the rest of us guys, we have to remember back to when you had snot and tears
calling out of your nose. Is this like guy code? Yeah, so just guys, listen, if you're going to be
emotional, there's nothing wrong with that, I'm all for it, just, just do it on your own time.
So, guys, don't call Michael when you're having a cryout. No, and I'm talking like, listen,
if you have like a serious tragedy, but don't, don't call me because you and Susie broke up
after three months. Like, who cares? You know, who gives a shit?
All right.
All right. Well, that is the questions, right? Well, that is all the questions we have for today. Thank you to everyone that sent them in. If you want to send questions for next week, you can email us at AskLoren at the skinny confidential.com. Or you can reach out to us on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag Ask Him and Her. Ask us whatever you want. As you can tell, we are going there. Today we talked about man grooming, Taylor's Bear Naked Cucumber, Breakups,
and college. And we will be back next week with episode nine. And for my guy friends who have
cried and blown snot in my face over breakups, I am sorry you had to find out about my true
feelings this way, but maybe think twice about doing that again. And with that, goodbye.
Thanks for listening, guys. Bye.
