you're getting on, I'm getting off. It's like the
0:02
merry-go-round of dating apps. You know, someone's
0:04
always getting off, someone's always getting on.
0:20
Hi guys! Hi guys! Welcome back to
0:22
another episode of Girls Gotta Eat! Welcome
0:24
back! Welcome back from Europe! You
0:29
can't not say it. This
0:32
is like the third time this year you've had to
0:34
bring up that we just got back from somewhere.
0:37
Well, I am always just getting back from Europe.
0:40
Oh my god. You guys, I don't have a boyfriend, so I have nothing to
0:42
live for besides Europe. Europe
0:46
back to LA was a
0:49
hellish journey. I am
0:52
very upset. It was so brutal. Going there
0:54
was fine, direct, but coming back is
0:57
a different animal. Well, going anywhere for me is always
0:59
fine. I am like ready to roll.
1:01
Like I land, I'm excited, I'm like
1:03
full of life. Coming back, I
1:05
don't have anything left to live for. It was 22
1:08
hours. Yeah, I was. Did you do the math on that? Like
1:11
you were, you were pretty jet-lagged. I could not do any
1:13
math. As someone who doesn't get jet-lagged. I can't
1:15
relate. I, physically, she doesn't bloat.
1:18
Physically, I don't bloat. Every time I say
1:20
I don't get jet-lagged, I feel like Melissa McCarthy
1:22
in Bridesmaids. I don't bloat.
1:24
Physically, I just don't bloat. I feel like it's such
1:27
a brag, but it is my truth.
1:29
This was the worst jet-lag I've ever
1:31
had. I was fucked up. I'm still fucked up.
1:34
Yeah. I've been fucked up for like 12 days, but
1:36
we had an amazing trip. I'm really excited to talk about it.
1:38
And if you are watching, you'll notice we have some
1:41
vibes only boxes
1:43
next to us in between. Oh, that's why Azul's
1:45
not up here. He's like, oh, the vibrators really. Azul, come
1:47
get one of these. That vibrators on your back. You
1:51
know what? We also at some
1:53
point will need to address the fact
1:55
that we were going to call a toy the Azul, and then
1:57
we walked it back and we were like, that's fucking weird. I just.
1:59
letting you fly I was like if she wants to
2:02
name a dildo after her dog then
2:04
that's fine yeah just so you guys it is
2:06
a male toy that's named after one of your exes
2:11
which no one tried to stop
2:13
me no one I was like it's a little
2:15
weird that maybe you want to name a sex toy after your
2:17
dog and you're like that tracks that's fine and I was like what about
2:19
my ex-boyfriend's name and you were like yeah let's do that
2:22
but when you guys see you'll understand yeah
2:24
it's not like we called it like the Kevin now
2:26
I want to we

2:33
average toy and call it the Chad please

3:48
what is on your foot
3:50
what do you mean you guys are watching the youtube
3:52
right now ashley has not socks on i have
3:55
never seen this in the history of the podcast
3:57
now people can talk about your feet for the whole episode
3:59
Not just drops, you were with me. You
4:03
were with me when I bought these. So
4:06
these sneakers,
4:08
who are karyuma, who we had as a partner on
4:10
the show, I was wearing these no socks. That's
4:12
the most insane thing I've ever heard. It's not karyuma's
4:15
fault, it's your fault. Right. When you were
4:17
like, these are trying to really hurt my feet, I don't have socks
4:19
on to walk
4:22
around in Europe. So like, they
4:25
are comfortable, but after like five
4:27
hours, I start to get a little blister on my pinky
4:29
toe. They are still comfortable, but they were starting to rub,
4:31
but they did start to smell.
4:35
I don't hate the player, I hate the game. So
4:37
I was like, but I don't want to show my socks. Like, I
4:39
like the look of no sock. And you were like, you
4:42
gotta get these special socks. This is not a hot take. But
4:44
I always felt like these, even the ones that have
4:46
the little thing on the back that sticks to you. They
4:49
still work, but these are Lulu and they
4:52
are elite. They're so cute, I love them. Thanks.
4:55
Yeah. Do you think
4:56
you'll get them? Do you have a sock loyalty? I
4:58
have hundreds of socks upstairs. Do you think I have
5:00
a lot of sweatshirts? I wait till I show you the whole
5:03
armoire full of socks. I have,
5:05
oh my God. Hand socks, white socks, high socks, black
5:07
socks, workout socks. I have like three jewels of socks. What
5:09
was that, Bubba Gump? What was that?
5:13
Actually,
5:17
I come in for a bedroom.
5:18
I have a whole drawer of cocksocks
5:20
in case any guys want to come over and jerk off. What is that?
5:23
What is that?
5:24
I have a whole drawer of cocksocks in case any guys
5:26
want to come over and jerk off. A
5:28
cocksock? Oh, just for guys like me to jerk
5:31
off,
5:31
they come inside of them so that it doesn't make a mess.
5:35
You didn't even know that.
5:38
No, Raina, show up. Is that a joke? Any
5:40
sock could be a cocksock. They
5:42
don't sell them, it's because I'm branded.
5:46
Any sock could be a cocksock if
5:48
you believe in yourself. Well, I wear
5:50
socks around the house and to bed. That's
5:52
crazy. It is always a relationship
5:55
milestone when someone realizes it for the first
5:57
time. I forget that you sleep with socks on.
6:00
And I'm saying, are you naked? Are
6:03
you butt naked in the past?
6:05
But sometimes
6:09
I will just be butt naked. And
6:13
it's like, so the warmth and
6:15
the comforter is enough for the rest of your
6:17
body, but not your little toe. I see. I
6:20
don't know what I think. Maybe I have
6:21
like weak circulation, but my feet are always cold,
6:23
always cold. So I have so many socks, like fluffy
6:26
socks, warm socks, socks. Socks,
6:28
socks, socks. And I love socks. I get
6:30
socks every Christmas. I like the warmest
6:33
socks on the planet. It's like a whole thing, like super
6:35
fluffy. Like my mom gets me some every year. And
6:38
like, I always think that
6:40
a partner or
6:41
somebody I'm dating is going to think it's cute and
6:43
they just never do. I think it's adorable.
6:45
They're like, what are you doing? I think it starts
6:47
to grow in them. You know, like you fall in love with somebody. You're like,
6:50
oh, I love how she wears socks to bed. All their
6:52
ex become adorable. Yes. And then
6:54
it becomes like a joke. You know what I mean? Like
6:57
then my robot victim has to wear socks all around the planet. I
7:02
just love it.
7:03
I love it. Very
7:06
cool. Is it cute? Oh, that is so cool. Katie.
7:14
I really love them. We make
7:16
our own round and endmodels at one
7:18
point. Usually around like four
7:20
or five in the morning, I'll wake up and I take
7:22
them off. You're
7:25
a little more comfortable. That's your
7:27
4am ritual. Let
7:29
me spread these toes
7:30
out.
7:41
No panties. You
7:44
go full sock.
7:47
I usually wake up in the
7:50
middle of the night like I'm kind of hot and then that's when I
7:52
take them off.
7:55
I get a little more comfortable.
8:00
I'm wearing shoes
8:02
to record. I
8:03
got these new slippers that are really comfy.
8:06
Those are great. Yeah, I was excited to show them to you.
8:08
I love to put a shoe on a couch. Yeah.
8:13
Justice couch? Not inside.
8:15
You used to do it at WTF studios.
8:17
I'd be like, Grandma, this isn't your home. That's exactly
8:19
why I'm putting the shoes on it. I would never
8:21
put shoes on my own couch like an animal. That's
8:24
crazy. Big day. You guys,
8:26
I'm just like,
8:28
I'm so filled with excitement. I feel
8:30
like I'm going to burst. This has been such a long
8:32
time coming. Ashley and I have been tirelessly
8:36
masturbating with all of you guys.
8:39
We are finally ready to announce our first fall
8:42
drop. We have three new products. We are so
8:44
excited for you to put them in your body. Oh
8:46
my God. Yes. And your mouth. Yeah.
8:49
So if you are new here, Ashley and I have a premium
8:51
line of sex toys called vibes only with a
8:53
connected app. All the toys are Bluetooth connected
8:56
to the app and there's erotic audio stories, a
8:58
remote
8:58
control, long distance. There's how to
9:00
videos, all of that. And these are our two new
9:02
toys and our new blow gel flavor.
9:04
Do you want to start introducing them? Let's just start
9:06
with what everybody already knew, which is the
9:08
pumpkin spice blow gel. So
9:11
you can give a pumpkin spice blow job
9:13
this fall or eat some
9:15
pumpkin spice pussy because this is vulva friendly.
9:18
This
9:20
is our first vulva friendly formula,
9:22
which again, we just don't think you need to flavor
9:25
the pussy if you're eating it, but it comes right.
9:27
Mine actually is already pumpkin
9:32
spice. So we actually modeled
9:34
after my own. I do. I smell it. It's
9:36
like, he's like, he's like,
9:38
Ashley. Yeah. I'm always ready for fall. White
9:41
girl named Ashley. My favorite season. My pussy
9:43
is always ready. So this has
9:45
also been a long time coming. I'm just thinking about like a little
9:47
scarf knitted on your pussy.
9:50
A little mark in a little.
9:53
I'll tell you to keep it warm
9:55
in a fall. I'll keep it on my clit. What?
10:01
Slipping
10:03
your clit with sh**.
10:08
Like,
10:10
someone wants to finger me if you take
10:13
my uggs off.
10:20
No!
10:21
Your ugg, your singular ugg. A
10:25
little baby. A mule. A
10:27
little mule. A short ugg. Oh my god,
10:29
I'm sweating. Okay, so we have been talking about this since
10:31
last year. So
10:38
we launched in summer of 2022,
10:40
it was like too
10:41
short of a runway to develop
10:43
it for last fall, year one of the business.
10:45
So we're so excited to have it for this fall and we've
10:47
tested all the flavors. We want it to really taste like a
10:49
pumpkin spice latte. So you can have
10:51
a PSL on your DSLs,
10:55
get it? And it's incredible. And
10:57
we just love it as Volvo friendly. And so going forward,
11:00
all of our blow gels will
11:02
have a new name. So get ready for that. And they
11:04
will all be Volvo friendly as well. So we're going to have more
11:06
flavors coming out for the Christmas
11:09
holiday season. So get ready for those. Feel free
11:11
to take your guesses. Right now we still have the pina
11:13
colada and the orange creamsicle running really low on those.
11:16
We're going to retire those for the holiday season and we'll
11:18
have new flavors coming out. But going
11:21
forward, again, new name coming. This
11:23
is still blow gel, but we
11:25
are repackaging and doing all these fun things and it'll
11:27
be for the P and the D. So if you've never
11:29
tried this before, this one in particular, it's a little
11:32
sweet, it's a little cinnamony. It's the perfect
11:34
balance. And if you've never tried blow gel at
11:36
all, it's just a drop or two on a deck
11:38
or a vagina now and you can just go to
11:40
town. It just makes it taste fun. It just
11:42
adds like another element to the experience.
11:45
People that say to us, I don't like giving oral.
11:47
I'm not good at oral. We always say
11:49
the best thing to do is make it more enjoyable for yourself and
11:51
that's such a fun way to do it is just make everything
11:53
taste better. Yes. So enjoy a PSL
11:56
for your DSL as you said. Okay. And
11:59
let's save the biggest. Last but
12:01
this is just something fun. I want you to talk
12:03
about it. Obviously, it's your name Yeah, so
12:05
our number one bestseller in the company is
12:07
the Raina It is a dual ended
12:10
vibrator on one end or is a clitsucker
12:13
and on the other end It is a
12:15
vibrator if you guys are watching
12:17
YouTube and everything is fully on YouTube You
12:19
can see what it is, but you can bend
12:22
it You can put it inside of yourself and have the clitsucker
12:24
against your clits at the same time This is really fun to put
12:26
on a little naughty show for somebody. It's
12:28
unreal. It's our bestseller for a reason It's sold out
12:31
like four or five times now We just keep reordering
12:33
it and we were just like okay We have had this same
12:35
shade of pale pink for over
12:38
a year now. What can we do differently? And so we did
12:40
hot pink it's giving Barbie. So
12:42
you never need a Ken again Yeah,
12:46
just go on a solo mission with yourself If
12:49
you have a hard time getting off and definitely
12:51
people tell us they have a hard time masturbating or
12:53
getting there This really is a great vibrator
12:56
for you because it's direct clitoral stimulation.
12:58
Yeah, and the color is so spicy
13:00
It's got that beautiful VO logo there's
13:02
separate controls for the vibrator on one
13:04
end and the sucker on the other end and this
13:07
is just Like a little Barbie wand
13:09
that pink is perfect again This stuff
13:11
takes us so long because we're so meticulous
13:13
about it and this was another thing where we like
13:15
got a sample We're like no wrong pink
13:18
like we're obsessed with it and this really is
13:20
kind of outside of our typical color scheme So I
13:22
don't even know that we'll have toys in this color in the
13:24
future. Maybe maybe not We'll see what you guys think
13:27
but right now this is like very limited edition
13:29
like one run So get the Reyna in
13:31
hot pink. Yes, and Finally
13:35
finally newest vibrator in
13:37
the collection the Allison wonderland This
13:40
is our rabbit. Take a minute soak
13:43
it in if you're watching you should be watching
13:45
but I mean this is truly
13:48
Changing the vibrator game. This is the most
13:51
beautiful special versatile
13:53
rabbit You'll ever have and if you are
13:55
somebody who started your masturbation
13:57
journey with that rabbit style. That was my story
13:59
Mine too. It's like how far we've come
14:02
with the materials and how beautiful it is
14:04
and how not scary the clit simulator
14:06
It's not a fucking rabbit with ears for your clit
14:08
like it's just so beautiful So this took
14:11
us a year to develop and we
14:13
really conceptualize this end to end Like
14:16
Ashley said the first vibrators we both really used
14:18
were these big clunky Masculine
14:20
looking vibrators this rabbit
14:23
first of all has a beautiful gold detail
14:25
So it has a ring in the center. We call those guns
14:28
slinger rose gold details
14:29
So it looks really feminine and
14:32
chic my little clit stimulator
14:35
has a flat pad on it So it really
14:37
covers your whole clit which I haven't seen
14:39
on a rabbit before. They're usually a little pointy here Yes,
14:41
that's what I don't like. They're like pointy I'm like
14:43
this is not comfortable on the most sensitive
14:46
part of my body and Ashley had to
14:48
really test this from the beginning Ashley
14:50
put the prototype the hard plastic prototype
14:52
inside of her. Yes, and I zoom
14:55
call I mean I went to the bathroom, but we all had
14:57
to pause the call while I went stuck it inside my
14:59
body I used lube
14:59
because I have that tight little pussy and I was
15:02
like I can't and then we had to kind of like fix The
15:04
spacing so we've really put a lot
15:06
of work into this and of course, we know everybody's bodies
15:08
are different shaped But this really should be
15:10
a perfect fit in terms of wanting to
15:12
penetrate yourself with it and also have that Clip
15:15
stimulator hit your clit But what
15:17
else which is so special to me is that the shaft
15:20
and this head is really so
15:23
soft and like kind of squishy So you
15:25
can just put the head on your clit and
15:27
masturbate that way That's what I've been doing,
15:29
you know If I'm like feeling lazy
15:31
and just want to get one in and it's so soft
15:34
It feels so good again. We got
15:36
a prototype. We're like, nope not squishy enough So
15:38
we went back in and just made it completely
15:40
perfect. So it's really super versatile
15:42
That's why we call it the Alice in Wonderland because
15:45
you can explore your own body in so
15:47
many different ways Yes, and there's two
15:49
different buttons. You can control the shaft and the clip
15:51
simulator separately This really I like
15:53
for like a long masturbation session So
15:56
I'll start with the shaft on vibrating and I'll
15:58
just fuck myself with that when I'm ready to push myself
16:00
over the edge, I turn on the arm, the Clit Simulator.
16:03
Well, I feel like you could start with the shaft
16:06
on your clit, like teasing yourself. So
16:08
start just like using the super
16:10
soft, exquisitely squishy shaft
16:13
and head to like tease yourself. And
16:15
then when you're ready, you slip it in and then you
16:17
have like the full penetration and then the Clit Simulator
16:19
obviously hitting your clit. And again, these all
16:22
connect to the Vibes Only app and
16:24
you can get in the app for free and you can use the controller
16:26
and then there are paid features as well. One of the best paid
16:28
features is the
16:29
long distance controller. So your
16:32
partner can be controlling your vibrator from
16:34
anywhere in the world that the app is available.
16:36
We always say from down the street to across
16:39
the globe. And that's like a really fun way, especially
16:41
if you're in a long distance relationship to really get
16:43
that in. It's super easy to connect and just
16:46
go to town. So we love it. Those
16:48
are the three products. We'll be talking more about these and
16:51
we have some new products even coming before
16:53
the end of the year. This is just the first drop of all
16:55
the new stuff that we're doing. It's been a long time coming. We're

now on tour is just so good.
19:29
It's so fun It's really stuff that
19:31
we just like to keep in a safe space in that room
19:33
I had to prep my family I had a time for the
19:35
stories at the London show because my dad my brother
19:38
my sister-in-law came and I was like sure some stuff.
19:40
I would like to just talk to you about that I'm so funny you
19:42
have to prep them. So that being said
19:45
we are retiring the rusty story,
19:47
right? I was gonna tell you guys here on the podcast,
19:50
but we're gonna take a break first So
19:53
I am going to tell you about quince,
19:55
okay fall fashion revamping
19:58
your fall wardrobe, there is no better time
19:59
I am just on Quince's site right now dying
20:02
over everything. All of the sweaters,
20:05
the outerwear, the bag. I like that
20:07
bag. Everything. The bedding?
20:10
I admittedly do not know about them till they started
20:12
being a partner of ours and I love them so
20:14
much. So this is a really
20:17
high quality clothing brand. Really
20:20
luxury items and at unreal prices.
20:22
Like when you're seeing these prices, you're like, what
20:24
could be going on here? What is the catch? But Quince
20:26
only works
20:26
with Factor. Pennsylvania, New York,
20:29
Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
20:31
Virginia, they all have burial mounds.
20:33
And for me as a person that's
20:35
trying to find answers, I'm not afraid to
20:38
ask questions to myself
20:40
that I don't understand. What is this?
20:42
Could this be spiritual? And I'm
20:45
going to try to find answers
20:48
whether it's crazy to people or not. But
20:51
I don't know the spiritual element that
20:53
these Native Americans had with all of this stuff.
20:55
But I do believe that they believed it.
20:58
So I believe that they believe. You know what I mean?
21:01
Absolutely. I'm
21:03
very much a person that thinks that
21:06
most modern American people
21:09
don't give enough credence to
21:11
the Native American tradition and culture. And
21:14
I always use the example of the
21:16
idea that these stories
21:19
are passed down through generations. And
21:22
one of the things that I always hear people say is, over
21:24
time, the story gets skewed. Because
21:27
from one person to another, kind of like the story, you know, when
21:29
you're a kid in school and just whisper down the alley,
21:32
by the time it gets to the end of the line, it's totally different
21:34
thing than what it started as. But one of the
21:36
things that I always tell people is that the
21:38
Native Americans put a lot of emphasis
21:41
on the idea of oral tradition. And
21:44
they would identify people at a young age, their
21:46
children. They identify the people who
21:48
have a tendency to have a good memory.
21:50
And they train them from a very young age to
21:53
be the story keeper
21:55
of the tribe. And it was something that was
21:58
an honor position. If you were chosen... to
22:00
do that. You did that with honor and
22:04
you repeated these stories over and over again. That's
22:06
how the stories stayed alive. So
22:09
the accuracy never dwindled because
22:11
they're always telling these stories over and
22:13
over again. I know you probably
22:15
found similar things, right?
22:17
Yes. My
22:20
grandmother was Cherokee Indian and she always
22:23
told us stories about the
22:26
spirits that the Native American believed in. She never specifically
22:28
said big foot or any of that. But there
22:31
is
22:32
an energy that's attached to the land. And
22:34
when you historically look at Pennsylvania, the
22:36
Indians
22:37
were kind of driven out of Pennsylvania
22:39
and into Ohio. And to
22:41
me, the area of Ohio like Tashokton
22:44
and Salt Fork, those
22:46
are areas where these tribes that came from
22:48
Pennsylvania, settled or they
22:50
were with the Moravians. And a lot
22:53
of that energy is also tied to that land,
22:55
which is interesting. When I think
22:57
of big foot, I never ever
22:59
would have thought of big foot in Pennsylvania or
23:01
Ohio. I always think of like the
23:04
West Coast or Canada.
23:06
And
23:07
even then, but when you research
23:09
all this stuff with the Native Americans, it really
23:12
plays an important role in their culture. And I
23:14
think that there's something more to
23:16
it that we have to look at.
23:18
Absolutely. And Jamie,
23:20
I think I might have talked to you about this years
23:22
ago, maybe when I first started the
23:24
Facebook group. But I remember I came
23:26
across a book, I think it was called,
23:29
and this is politically incorrect, but I think it was called Indian
23:32
Trails of Pennsylvania. And I think
23:35
it was the book that I was looking at,
23:37
it had all these old mapped
23:41
out Native American trails throughout
23:44
the state of Pennsylvania. And I think I asked
23:46
you this, but I don't remember what you told me. Do
23:49
you think that if we could identify
23:51
the old Native American trails that they
23:53
used, do you think we'd have a better chance of
23:56
maybe seeing such activity
23:58
of Sasquatch? think that maybe
24:00
they do have this
24:08
Native
24:19
American and a lot of them, that's where you're
24:21
finding a lot of the sightings.
24:25
Even Dave Groves where he had his, that's
24:27
part of Indian Trails.
24:30
Really?
24:31
Yes.
24:32
Wow, that's good to know. I didn't know that. Does he know that? I'm sure
24:34
he does. I'm
24:35
not sure that he does know that. I don't know that I ever
24:38
told him that, but yes.
24:40
That's incredible. I definitely will be connecting
24:42
with him to tell him that. I just, I
24:44
don't know a ton about Native American
24:47
tradition or you know, not
24:50
nearly as much as you do, but I always
24:52
found it fascinating and it's
24:54
one of those things where it's, you either have
24:56
to study up on it yourself or have somebody teach
24:59
you a little bit. Unfortunately for me, I don't have
25:01
a lot of time to do studying, you know, between
25:03
driving trucks 60 hours a week and then doing the
25:05
show and all the stuff I do. The studying
25:08
aspect of thing kind of puts, gets put on the back
25:10
burner. So I rely on people like you who
25:12
do actually know these things to kind of clue
25:14
me in as to what's going on, but
25:17
the Native American aspect of things I think people
25:20
should definitely look into more when it comes, especially
25:22
when it comes to Bigfoot Sasquatch
25:25
because I think there's a direct
25:27
link to the two. And
25:30
also with the, what you mentioned about earlier
25:32
about the Alagui, I mean
25:35
these things, I personally believe that
25:37
these things were real. We found the Barrio
25:39
Mountains and I think it shows
25:42
that at least throughout the region,
25:44
I personally believe throughout the country, throughout the North
25:47
American region at least, there
25:49
was giants that roamed the land and there's
25:51
stories of Native Americans fighting
25:53
these things. Have you come across those stories before? Yeah,
25:56
you know, I've come across them and I've read a
25:58
lot of them and It's
26:01
history, but we don't know how true the history
26:03
is and Native American stuff
26:06
is oral history. In
26:09
the 1800s, they were finding large
26:13
bones, Northeast Pennsylvania, Astra Bula,
26:15
Ohio, West Virginia, down
26:18
near the Pennitentiary
26:20
down in Moundsville,
26:23
West Virginia.
26:24
Moundsville, I just ran across
26:26
somebody from Moundsville. I just can't remember where
26:28
I found this person, but the
26:31
name Moundsville, when you tie it
26:33
together with the Giants,
26:37
that kind of makes sense because I don't know if
26:39
there's a lot of mounds there, but I know that there's
26:41
a lot of burial mounds that people say Giants are
26:43
in. I wonder if there's a connection there. Have you
26:45
ever heard about that at all? Well,
26:47
you know, honestly, I've been to Moundsville,
26:49
but I went to the Pennitentiary for a ghost hunt.
26:52
I've never... You can see the mound from the prison. And
26:55
I don't know that they found bones in the mounds.
26:58
I don't think they did in Moundsville, but
27:00
they have claimed to have found bones
27:03
that went to the Carnegie
27:06
Institute. I don't
27:08
know. The trail of finding
27:10
these bones, that's another big question.
27:13
Will people actually be able to look at them? Who knows?
27:15
I don't know.
27:16
Okay. Yeah.
27:18
So I wanted to kind of shift gears here a little bit.
27:21
And you mentioned about the recorder a little bit.
27:24
I was wondering, for people who maybe haven't
27:26
heard this, when Dave
27:28
came on and shared his story, we talked about it a little
27:30
bit. Would you mind going into, like, how
27:32
the recorder works for people? I know we talked about
27:35
it on a previous show, not you and I, but me and
27:37
Dave. But since it's your recorder, would
27:39
you mind talking about it a little bit for us?
27:41
Well, it's actually not my recorder. I borrow it because
27:44
it's very expensive. Our
27:46
friend, Rochelle, uses...it's called a Panasonic
27:49
DR-60. And basically, it
27:51
became popular in the ghost hunting world
27:53
because basically
27:56
somebody discovered that people were returning
27:58
it to Panasonic because they were... hearing background
28:00
noise, they were hearing voices that
28:03
weren't there. So we started when
28:05
we started ghost hunting at Hey-Ho-View
28:07
Manor where we're both volunteers, this
28:10
recorder we started using it more and more. But what's
28:13
interesting about this recorder in particular
28:15
is our voice comes across like
28:17
our voice and a voice that
28:20
is of a different frequency comes across
28:22
in a different frequency but it's still understandable.
28:25
And the way we record is we'll
28:27
record and we ask intelligent questions
28:30
in order to get intelligent responses back.
28:33
One of the questions might be, how many fingers
28:36
am I holding up? So I'm holding four fingers
28:38
up.
28:39
I've had it come across the recorder,
28:41
I see
28:42
four. You know like a complete sentence.
28:45
It's not just four, it's I see four.
28:47
So when I was in the Alleghenies
28:49
with Dave Groves and Scott Gear, we were
28:52
researching you know at night
28:54
with Bigfoot and I remember Scott Gear's
28:57
daughter was there and we went over to
28:59
the edge of this dark area
29:01
where we were hearing something. It sounded
29:04
like walking. So I started recording and
29:06
I remember like asking different questions but
29:08
I wanted to like establish
29:10
like what is there. You know I don't know if I'm communicating
29:13
with an Indian. I don't know if I'm communicating
29:15
with a ghost but I really did have
29:18
a response on the recorder. You know and people
29:20
can believe that or they don't have to believe that. But I
29:22
know what is on that recorder and
29:25
I even took it to my friend's recording studio
29:27
and a lot of times I'll take recordings
29:30
that I've used in research with Bigfoot
29:32
to his studio and we put them on and we'll play
29:34
them and it's really interesting
29:37
to hear it in an actual studio.
29:40
Yeah now you're talking about where it
29:42
sounds like it says Allegheny, right?
29:45
Yeah and it really does. I mean it says Allegheny,
29:47
like there's no doubt. Right and
29:50
I do remember playing that on the show
29:52
and I will play it right here
29:54
now. Can
29:56
you tell me the name of this forest?
30:00
I can hear you off to my right. Is that you?
30:03
Yes or no? Can
30:06
you tell me the name of this course? I
30:10
can hear you off to my right. Is that you? Yes
30:12
or no? Can
30:16
you tell me the name of this force? I
30:20
can hear you off to my right. Is that you?
30:22
Yes or no?
30:32
So that was the sound and I
30:35
think it's a really awesome recording
30:37
because it really
30:40
shows what you just described as how
30:42
it works and everything. For
30:44
me, I definitely
30:47
hear it saying Allegheny and
30:50
when I played it on the show before, I never had
30:52
anybody email me saying that they
30:55
didn't hear it. I actually had
30:57
people say the opposite that they did hear it in
30:59
the recording. So for you,
31:01
I know you don't look for validation from other
31:03
people but I would just say there's validation for
31:05
you because other people have heard it as well.
31:09
My other favorite recording
31:11
that night was, I don't know why I even said
31:14
it but sometimes I just start saying
31:16
stuff but I said, do
31:18
you have human DNA? I have no idea why
31:20
I asked that but the response
31:22
that I got back was again another
31:24
full sentence and it said, I don't know what
31:26
DNA is. That kind
31:28
of took me aback because when
31:30
I'm ghost hunting, you're
31:33
with a lot of people that
31:35
maybe are of the same frequency of you and
31:37
you can take one person in a group
31:40
and you can ghost hunt with them and maybe that one
31:42
person, you will get nothing. You
31:45
take that one person out of there and you
31:48
start recording and it opens it back up
31:50
and you have experiences. I don't
31:52
know if people are on a frequency and
31:54
it's just how we operate
31:57
or it's like tuning in. a
32:00
frequency and it's received.
32:02
Yeah that's fascinating, that's absolutely fascinating.
32:05
And so you said that you you borrow that recorder
32:08
and it just kind of made me chuckle a little bit when you first
32:10
said that because I remember talking
32:13
to I think it was Brian and Brian
32:15
had looked up how
32:17
you know to buy that recorder because he wanted one and I think
32:19
he said it's like fifteen hundred dollars or something like that.
32:21
They're expensive recorders. This isn't like just something
32:24
you got at Kmart right? Right
32:26
no no it's you know
32:28
it was a recorder that sold for like sixteen dollars
32:30
back in the early 90s and now
32:32
it's like it's gone crazy. But actually
32:37
like when I took it to my friend's recording studio
32:39
and we connected it and he was looking
32:42
at it and he said Jamie this recording the voice
32:44
that you captured on this recorder is below
32:47
28th v which is called
32:49
infrasound. So infrasound a
32:51
lot of people in the Bigfoot community believe that
32:54
animals like they animals do communicate
32:56
in infrasound certain animals. Right.
32:58
But they also believe Bigfoot does. I
33:00
don't I can't say for sure I don't know I don't
33:03
know because I know what I heard the day
33:06
we had our experience was very physical
33:08
and I could hear it but I don't know
33:10
how they communicate in general like
33:12
below human hearing. I don't know and no one
33:14
can really answer that question.
33:17
Yeah well I actually agree with that because you know
33:19
you know that I think it's drafts they
33:22
use infrasound. I know a lot our
33:24
tigers use infrasound. I think even
33:26
whales use infrasound. So for
33:28
me I don't see it far fetched
33:30
at all that you know Sasquatch could use
33:33
such things to communicate or
33:35
even to stun prey. I mean
33:38
if they're hunting for food or something
33:40
like that because I know that's what tigers do
33:42
they actually use that as a weapon. And
33:45
I know I think Dave had said about
33:47
how he kind of went into an area and he felt
33:49
real sick and stuff I'm not saying it's
33:51
Bigfoot but apparently whenever somebody
33:54
new comes into that area it's a very common
33:56
thing that they get very ill at
33:58
first when they enter that area. It just
34:00
makes you wonder what that's all about.
34:06
You and I and Jamie were talking
34:08
before the show and you mentioned that
34:11
you started ghost hunting back in 2004, right?
34:14
Yes, I did.
34:16
Would you share
34:18
with the audience how you got involved in ghost hunting
34:20
before your encounter with Bigfoot?
34:23
Oh, yeah.
34:25
Like I was saying, I was working at
34:27
a doctor's office and the one girl
34:29
I worked with, she's like, hey, do you want to
34:31
go on a ghost hunt? And I'm like,
34:34
a ghost hunt? I'm like, what's that? And she's like,
34:36
yeah, well, that's when you go into
34:38
a honey place and you
34:40
ghost hunt. You communicate with ghosts.
34:43
And I'm like, that sounds cool. I'm
34:45
up for that. So I'm like, okay. So
34:48
she's like, oh, we're going to go to Ohio State
34:50
Reform Mator. And I'm like, okay, I have no
34:52
idea what that is or where it's at. I'll go. So,
34:55
you know, I went with a bunch of people
34:57
and
34:58
we went there and the place is just fabulous.
35:00
I'm like, this place is awesome. And just
35:03
the history of it is just cool if
35:05
anybody out
35:05
there has been there. But, I mean,
35:07
we did have experiences at night, you
35:10
know, because of course I didn't have any
35:12
equipment because this is my first
35:14
time. So, you know, other people
35:16
had equipment and we got responses. You know,
35:18
of course I'm feeling things. I'm like, wow,
35:20
this is interesting.
35:23
I've never been to anything like this before.
35:24
And it was a lot of fun. It
35:26
got me hooked right away.
35:29
So ever since then, I've been doing it.
35:31
That's awesome. That's awesome. So,
35:35
you said that there were some experiences having that night.
35:37
Anything that you'd like to share? Oh, man.
35:39
Well, ever since
35:42
then, you know, I've been having experiences,
35:44
I guess.
35:45
Well, what's one of your favorite experiences
35:47
you've had?
35:48
Oh, wow. Well, just
35:50
my favorite ones. Well,
35:53
it healed you, man or the new cast. I've
35:56
had a lot
35:56
of experiences, not just seeing
35:58
things, but...
36:00
I mean, just being there and feeling
36:03
things and you see, like, you
36:05
just go down one north if anybody out
36:07
there has been to Hillview,
36:09
and at the end of one north, you
36:11
will definitely see somebody standing at
36:14
the end of one north.
36:16
Either walking at the end of one
36:18
north or just standing there, it's pretty
36:21
much guaranteed. I think every time I go there, I'll
36:23
see something there.
36:25
Even like, peeking in and out of the doorways.
36:27
I mean, I've seen it so many
36:29
times. I think my favorite experience was
36:31
kind of funny. Michelle
36:34
was doing a tour and it was
36:36
Halloween of all nights. It was Halloween
36:39
night. And another
36:41
volunteer and I, we were in
36:43
what's called Warren's Room.
36:45
And him and I were in Warren's
36:48
Room and I was, like, speaking to Warren.
36:50
I said, hey, Warren, do you know what tonight is? It's
36:52
Halloween. And I'm like, do you
36:54
want some candy? I can bring you up some candy.
36:57
And all of a sudden, I just got
36:59
this weird, like,
37:01
sound. Like it was almost like the, like,
37:04
on the right side of my body and I could actually
37:06
feel it. And I actually screamed. And
37:08
it actually takes
37:11
a lot to scare me because I've been doing this for a while.
37:14
But I actually screamed and TR,
37:16
the other guy that was with me, he was on the other side
37:19
of the room and he heard it. He was like, I don't know
37:21
if I'm allowed to swear on your show, but he was like, holy shit.
37:24
Everybody
37:27
came running in the room. They're like, what's going on? And
37:29
I'm like, oh, my God, Warren, Warren screamed
37:31
in my ear.
37:33
Wow. That was just kind of funny,
37:35
though. So I'm like, Warren scared me. Wow.
37:39
And that's crazy. I mean, to hear the vocalization
37:41
like that, I can't say I have
37:43
ever, not that I can remember, ever heard
37:45
of vocalization. And I think
37:47
that would freak me out. I really
37:49
do. I think that would freak me out a lot. Oh,
37:52
man. It was pretty cool, though.
37:54
I was like, I had to bring them up some
37:56
candy, then. Have
37:59
you ever seen the...
37:59
the candy disappear?
38:02
No, I don't know. I
38:04
have not. Okay. But
38:07
we do put like balls and stuff like in
38:10
hallways and then we come back and
38:12
they'll be moved. You know, like that's
38:14
when the volunteers are there by themselves.
38:17
So nobody else is in the building and
38:19
we'll come back to that same spot and they'll be moved.
38:21
You
38:22
know, there's no wind. There's nothing that can
38:24
move them. So I've never actually
38:27
known of anything to disappear.
38:30
Did you guys start ghost hunting together
38:32
before your Bigfoot encounter? Yes.
38:36
Okay, so the teamwork
38:38
I'm sure the the chemistry
38:40
between you two was great for getting into
38:43
Bigfoot researching into your
38:45
area. I still, like I said, I still
38:47
think it's awesome that you guys are working
38:50
together in the focused area
38:52
and it's just awesome. I know it means so much to you guys.
38:54
Like it's a very emotional experience.
38:56
This isn't like something that people are
38:58
just going, you're just going out there to hang out and see
39:01
what happens. Like it's an emotional thing for you
39:03
guys, how it all developed and how it's
39:05
progressing to this point. So there's
39:07
a lot of respect there that I have for you guys. Jamie,
39:11
earlier you mentioned about the lights, the balls,
39:13
I think you called it balls of light, right? That you
39:15
that you could hold in your hand. You
39:17
know, I would call them beams of light. They were three.
39:20
Okay. So
39:23
you couldn't like feel it or anything? You
39:25
just... No, no. Honestly, when I
39:27
first opened my eyes, I put
39:30
my hand through it. Like it was through it. But
39:32
I could hold them in my hand. So it's you know,
39:34
like Tony, I know it sounds crazy. I know
39:36
it does. But for one
39:38
entire month, I could close
39:41
my eyes, open them and they would be there. And
39:43
to me, it was more like it wasn't a matter
39:46
of, it was like a peaceful
39:48
feeling. And if anybody
39:50
knows the relationship that I had with my parents,
39:52
they were like my best friends. So losing
39:55
both of them was very, very hard. So the
39:58
connection between my parents and... myself goes
40:01
beyond this physical body.
40:04
Sure.
40:06
Okay. Yeah, I was just trying
40:08
to gauge as to what you were
40:10
experiencing there. But that's
40:13
very interesting, man. Like, I
40:15
don't see why anybody would, you know, want to doubt.
40:18
I guess I can understand why you feel like some people
40:20
would doubt you on that and stuff. But
40:22
I definitely find that interesting. I've heard so many different
40:24
stories of people's experiences, especially
40:27
once somebody that they loved had
40:30
passed away, you know, the different experiences
40:32
they've had. It's just, for me, it's
40:34
like I look at them like, yeah, of course. Like,
40:37
of course people are experiencing these kind of things. Now,
40:41
when you guys, I wanted to ask you, and I keep forgetting to
40:43
ask you this, when you were out
40:46
there and you had your first experience
40:48
with what you thought was a
40:50
Bigfoot, at the time you didn't know what it was,
40:53
but looking back, you think it probably was a Bigfoot. You
40:56
described it that the trees were shaking and
40:58
you saw ripples in the stream. How
41:02
heavy do you think this thing was that was walking?
41:04
Do you think this is something that was just
41:07
really heavy physically? Or do you think there was maybe
41:09
something else going on there? Because, I
41:11
mean, it would take a lot to make a stream
41:13
ripple, you know? I mean, was it that close to you, do
41:16
you think? Go
41:17
ahead, Jenny. I think
41:20
the vocalization that it made, I don't
41:24
know how to describe it. I
41:26
don't know if it...
41:28
It was just, it seemed so loud.
41:31
It was sort of like a rush of air
41:33
that kind of hit us, like a wall of air.
41:36
A
41:36
wall of sound. A wall of sound that really hit us. It
41:39
was like
41:39
a... You could actually feel it
41:41
in your body.
41:43
So,
41:45
it was very Jurassic Park. It
41:47
was pretty crazy. Like,
41:51
I don't... Yeah,
41:54
it was
41:55
just so loud. I can't tell
41:57
you how far away it was, because we're in a stream.
42:01
was, it kind of went uphill from there
42:04
and there were the trees but then from where the trees
42:06
were and then it kind of goes down a little
42:08
bit.
42:10
So if there was something up there,
42:12
it
42:13
would have been hidden. It's an interesting
42:16
area in the ways
42:18
that you
42:18
safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices
42:20
and premium eco-friendly fabrics and finishes.
42:22
So you have nothing to worry about, this isn't fast fashion
42:24
by any stretch and I mean that's not dirt
42:26
cheap but they're just so good for what you get.
42:29
We're talking 100% Mongolian cashmere, sweaters,
42:33
suede leather jackets, silk blouses and dresses.
42:35
They have this washable silk. I have the slip dress, I
42:37
have the short one and the long one. Washable silk,
42:39
again I just throw it in the washer on gentle of course
42:42
or hand wash and hang dry it. You don't
42:44
have to take it to the drag cleaner. Holiquences prices
42:46
are 50 to 80% less than similar brands
42:49
and they really create timeless classics that
42:51
never go out of style. So right now that is
42:53
a trend. Is this like quiet luxury,
42:56
just classic old money? I heard
42:58
someone describe it, I think Alyssa was like this is a style
43:00
right now. It's like looking like you have old money. So this
43:02
is where to start. If you're like I don't really dress
43:04
like that but I want to get involved but I don't want the
43:06
hugest budget in the world, this is where to go. I'm
43:09
just looking on their site now. Again there's just this
43:11
great silk v-neck cami.
43:13
Again the sweaters, there's this cashmere midi
43:15
skirt. Okay so something like that, like you just
43:17
get a cashmere skirt. Have you ever thought to wear a cashmere
43:20
skirt? I haven't but I'm gonna start. Collared
43:22
shirts, there's a stretch silk collar blouse
43:24
for literally like $69.90.
43:25
The cashmere skirt is $99. I just want
43:28
to rat off some of these prices so you guys know what we're talking
43:30
about. Cashmere v-neck sweater for $50, cashmere tee for $44.90
43:32
and there's great lounge stuff
43:37
too. Like I have this little set that I always wear, I have
43:39
these like great shorts at like our fleece line and they're
43:41
so soft. Alpaca wool cropped cardigan,
43:43
we love a cardigan. So those are just some items that
43:46
you can shop and again all of Aiquins prices are 50 to 80%
43:48
less than similar brands. We want you
43:51
guys to get on it. We are obsessed with it. You
43:53

43:55

44:09
Okay, and an app that needs no
44:11
introduction, Hinge, the dating
44:14
app designed to be deleted. Hinge allows you
44:16
to find great dates through profile features
44:18
that help you date more intentionally. Download
44:20
Hinge and share your dating intentions to find
44:22
someone worth deleting the app for. So, Ashley
44:24
and I actually were just playing around with Hinge
44:27
this weekend, and one of the things I love about
44:29
it is it really does help you to date intentionally.
44:32
And their whole thing is about knowing who you
44:34
are and what you're looking for and expressing those desires
44:36
and wants to others. And I think they really facilitate
44:39
a way of doing that that is fun,
44:41
light, easy. You can be brief,
44:43
it opens conversation. With dating
44:46
intentions, you can add what kind of relationship you're looking for
44:48
and a profile. So maybe you're looking for something short-term,
44:50
long-term, a life partner. I've been seeing
44:53
so much of this on Hinge, people using this
44:55
feature, and I just love it. And I've been seeing
44:57
so many people write long-term relationship, and
44:59
it's nice to see somebody be intentional about
45:02
intentional dating. Yeah, I mean, this is what the whole episode
45:04
is gonna be about. So we don't need to blow our load during
45:06
the ad read, but I was getting so
45:08
excited looking at your Hinge and
45:10
going through all these guys and seeing that most people are
45:12
saying that. Also,
45:14
you had your age range set probably to mid-30s to
45:18
early 40s, whatever. It was just refreshing
45:20
to see that at least that's what people, I mean,
45:22
let's hope they're being honest. Allegedly. Allegedly.
45:26
I loved it. I think that's such a great feature. But I also
45:28
think that what you put out into
45:30
the world is what you get back. And if you start out saying,
45:33
I want something long-term and serious,
45:35
that is what you'll get back. And then there's no confusion,
45:37
there's no assumptions, because when I say to somebody, well, you
45:39
said you wanted a long-term relationship, they can't say, no, you didn't.
45:42
I'm proof.
45:43
It is the ultimate receipt.
45:45
I mean,
45:47
truly
45:48
though, Hinge, get those receipts. It's
45:50
so smart for
45:52
so many different reasons, and we can joke about receipts
45:54
and all that kind of stuff, but it really is just like,
45:57
there's no question, and then someone
45:59
really needs to be honest.
45:59
with you.
46:01
You can't have someone being like, well, I told you I never wanted
46:03
anything. It's like, what? No, you didn't. Yeah.
46:05
So we love it. Yes. And right now you
46:08
can download a agent, share your dating attention to find
46:10
someone
46:10
worth the leading the app for.
46:12
Okay.
46:12
Rusty time.
46:14
You guys, I have really
46:17
gate kept this story. I
46:19
brought it up, but I was like, right now we never told
46:21
our dedicated listeners what happened.
46:24
We only were sharing at the live shows. And of course we'll give
46:26
you the backstory when we're talking about if you're a newer
46:28
listener here, if you are, thank you for being here. But I
46:30
really told a lot of stories about
46:32
this guy and then we just kind of stopped talking about him. So
46:34
I was talking about him at the live shows. So basically
46:37
what had happened is I went to this art gallery and
46:39
there was this guy working there for the day.
46:41
His friend who owned the gallery had
46:43
gone down to an art show and
46:45
this guy was just there for the day. And I thought he was so gorgeous
46:48
and a little bit quiet and withholding and
46:50
so sexy. And I was like trying to get him to like,
46:52
give me his information. And oh my god Azul
46:55
just like plopped down on top of me. I know.
46:57
And I'm so sorry. He is getting
46:59
a bath tomorrow. He smells bad. I can always
47:01
smell animals now though. Babes are not. It's extra
47:03
today. Sorry. Actually,
47:05
the fans like stop bothering me.
47:07
You guys are watching
47:09
YouTube, which he's shoving. He was just like with
47:11
this family all week and their
47:13
dogs. That was so cute. I know.
47:15
So he's just, he's been playing. He's overdue.
47:17
But he gets screwed tomorrow. I can't smell him which means
47:19
I'm sick. Yeah. So
47:22
anyways, I was trying to find
47:24
this guy. I tried to get his information. He did not
47:26
give it to me. I gave it to him, but he put it on the gallery
47:29
list and put my phone number and email down
47:31
on the gallery list. And the saga continued
47:33
of me just buying art from this gallery, trying
47:35
to talk to the owners and find out who this guy was
47:37
and how I could find him. And I think
47:40
that was like the last I ever updated you
47:42
guys about. But I bought this art. I went
47:44
back up to the gallery to buy the art. I bring him up like
47:46
a third time to the owners and they completely
47:48
swap my mention away. Yeah. And that's it.
47:51
That's the end of the story. So I'm going to give
47:53
you the rest of the story now. And I'm
47:55
really excited you guys weird to like not
47:57
hear a bunch of applause and cheering. I
47:59
know.
47:59
We really want crazy for it. Yes, people went
48:02
crazy for this at the live shows. And we call him
48:04
Rusty because I couldn't give you guys his real name,
48:06
but that was Ashley's family's dog name. One of
48:08
them, yes. So the part of the
48:10
story of me basically picking
48:13
up the art finally was that on
48:16
my way out the door, I don't want
48:18
to bury the lead. We found him.
48:20
Yeah, we found him. And I went out with him.
48:22
But the way that I found him was so crazy.
48:25
So I went up and I picked
48:27
up this final piece of art that I was buying from the gallery. On
48:30
my way out the door, there's this girl at the desk.
48:32
She's so cute. And she kind of looks up at me. She works there.
48:34
And she was like, what do you do? And I said,
48:37
I just podcast called Girls Giddy. And she was like,
48:39
maybe I'll
48:39
listen some time. What's it about? I tell her a little bit about
48:42
it. And then I leave. And then that's the end. That
48:44
is the end of the story. I don't think I'll ever hear from these people again.
48:47
And about what, two weeks later,
48:49
I forget all about the whole situation.
48:51
I forget we've been talking about this for weeks. I
48:53
forget that there's Instagram clips about this. And
48:56
we are sitting at my house with a room
48:58
full of girls. There's like eight of us here. And
49:01
I get a text message from a number that I don't know. It
49:03
pops up my phone. And it is
49:06
the girl from the gallery.
49:07
And she says, hi, it's so and so from
49:09
this gallery. I'm driving
49:12
on Sunset and I'm listening to the podcast.
49:15
And I
49:17
am losing my shit. I
49:19
am just like, what does the dot dot dot mean? Immediately,
49:21
I'm just like, this is her boyfriend. This is her boyfriend that
49:24
I've been talking about the podcast every single week. And
49:26
she knows him. And she's like, are you fucking serious? You
49:28
told me to listen to the podcast. I'm listening to you talk to my boyfriend
49:30
every week. And so I mean,
49:33
I thought it sounded you could
49:35
take it either way. And I was like, you only have one option
49:37
here. You just have to be like, oh, well, he he
49:39
he he he. You like just have to act
49:41
like she's being light. Like
49:43
you have to even play dumb if she's
49:45
just like, bitch, I'm about to fuck you up. You have to be like,
49:48
thanks for listening. Right. Also, what's
49:50
she gonna do about it? So we crowdsource the
49:52
whole room. Everybody comes to the conclusion that
49:54
that's the text. And so we're just like, thank
49:56
you so much for listening. And
49:59
she writes back. Well, she said I'm happy
50:01
to facilitate the rusty. I'm happy
50:03
to facilitate the introduction.
50:05
Yeah, and I like lose my mind We're all
50:07
screaming in the best like our moment.
50:09
We are all just like losing it I'm like, oh my god,
50:11
she's gonna do it and she's like, let me know you want me to do Do
50:14
you want me to give you his number? Do you want me to invite
50:16
you both to like a situation at the gallery that's come to
50:18
a party together? and I was like just give
50:20
him my number and if he wants to talk to me he can and so
50:25
Literally in 10 minutes. I get a text
50:27
from him and it says hi
50:29
Reina it's rusty but
50:32
he didn't say rusty and that his
50:34
name is his real name And I think he kind of
50:36
knew like he should have said rusty if he had
50:38
a good sense of humor For
50:40
in the first place. Yeah
50:42
orange flag. Yes, we
50:44
didn't love it. But again, you know, maybe he didn't know
50:46
Maybe she didn't tell him maybe she didn't tell him. Yeah, we gave him the benefit
50:49
of the doubt Maybe he thinks I'm just using his
50:51
real name on this podcast for millions people to hear. So
50:54
I wrote back. Hi rusty And
50:57
He left me on read and
50:59
that was it no response Let me jump in
51:02
because also this night if you've been following
51:04
along in our lives We were just having so
51:06
much fun like laughing about this I mean, it was like peak
51:09
girls night for this to be happening We're all
51:11
like on the edge of our seats And that is when I was
51:13
like the guy from the plane if you guys
51:15
remember the riot guy that was on the plane That
51:17
is the night that I sent him that ghost emoji Cuz
51:20
I was like, I think I'm just gonna do it like let's keep
51:22
the momentum up Because we were like kind of
51:24
once rusty didn't respond. We're all just sitting there
51:26
like what's that? We and I was like,
51:29
I think
51:29
I'm gonna ghost emoji this guy never
51:32
It was the highest high we ever felt
51:35
and I was just like I've been talking about this thing
51:37
thinking about this guy I'm pretty sure he is the love
51:39
of my life for months and he is finally
51:42
in my phone and he is gonna leave
51:44
me on Red I was like I cannot believe
51:46
is happening and I just was so convinced
51:48
that like I had to go out him and like see this So
51:51
the next day I was driving around and I was just like
51:53
I'm just gonna text him and see you So I was like anyways
51:56
now that we got that out of the way. It's so funny.
51:58
We listen to the podcast. I'm so embarrassed
52:00
And he was like, about what?
52:03
And I was like, oh god, I
52:05
don't care. I don't care what he says, I'm gonna
52:07
see this through. And I'm like, okay,
52:10
anyways, so what's going on? And he was like, do you wanna
52:12
talk on the phone? And I was like, speaking
52:14
my love language, yes, phone calls are my favorite
52:16
thing. So he called me and we had like
52:19
a 45 minute phone call and it was fine.
52:22
Yeah.
52:25
I mean, probably at that
52:28
point, you knew it wasn't a fit. And
52:30
if it wasn't for this whole saga
52:33
and really wanting to see this through, you probably
52:35
wouldn't have gone out with him, right? You probably would have been like,
52:38
this just doesn't feel like we're vibing. Yeah,
52:40
I could sort of see the writing on the wall. Yeah. Totally
52:42
nice, really polite person. Just
52:45
nothing in common with me. You weren't vibing. You
52:47
have a very specific, not so rare, but
52:49
you have a certain type of sense of humor and sarcasm
52:52
and way of joking around and you
52:55
match it or you don't. I had a hard time sparking
52:57
joy in him during that. I'm always
52:59
just like, what's this thing we can get into
53:01
that we're both really into, we can get excited about,
53:03
we can share and laugh. And like, typically
53:06
I try to make that a thing about the other person.
53:09
I can talk about the podcasts and the live shows and the sex
53:11
toy company all day long, but I like
53:13
it. Like Jenny said, there's
53:15
a stream bed that feeds into the shanango and
53:18
then it goes up and then it goes down in.
53:20
And where it goes down in, there's a lot of like
53:23
mounds, like I guess I would call them mounds. And
53:25
there's like these little valleys and it's
53:29
just really super interesting.
53:32
Yeah, I mean, it sounds interesting. When
53:35
I hear you describe it, the thing I'm thinking
53:37
of mentally in my head to picture this
53:39
is like those cartoons where the sound waves
53:41
knock the people over. Like you physically
53:44
feel it.
53:47
Super
53:49
sonic. What
53:52
was really strange about that whole thing is like, Jenny
53:54
and I did not, it
53:56
was like the silent agreement that we made with
53:58
our eyes, like just. get out of here because
54:01
we knew that whatever we were experiencing
54:03
right then and there was not something
54:05
that really
54:08
we wanted to stick around for. Yeah, it was like we
54:10
just didn't know. And
54:12
you know what? I think I carried my beagle the entire
54:14
way out. Yeah, we really did.
54:17
Yeah. I
54:18
can imagine.
54:19
I absolutely can imagine. You
54:22
know, I secretly wish that there
54:24
were still giants roaming around Pennsylvania. I
54:26
guess it's not a secret anymore. But
54:29
I just when I hear the stories of the giants
54:31
and stuff and I heard your story of the
54:33
tree shaking and I just I really
54:35
wish you would have said and then we saw a giant.
54:38
Like that sort of sounds like
54:40
you know, I just I don't know. Like you brought
54:42
the whole giant thing up and stuff. I just I'm
54:45
fascinated by the whole topic of
54:48
giants and the idea that the biblical
54:50
accounts of the Nephilim and all those things. And
54:53
I do believe that you know, North
54:55
America had giants in it and
54:57
they did walk this land at one time. And
54:59
how did they get here and all that stuff? I'm fascinated
55:01
by it. But the
55:04
word giant too is just it's a play
55:06
on words. So it's something larger than a human,
55:08
right? That's what I think.
55:11
I mean, I mean, if you say giant, yeah,
55:14
I would say that. But if you
55:16
were to say Nephilim, well, that's
55:18
a whole different thing then, you know, because the
55:21
biblical account of Nephilim where that's where that
55:23
term comes from, it's
55:25
a description of something that isn't human.
55:28
It's a hybrid between a spiritual being
55:30
of a fallen angel and
55:32
a human being. So similar
55:35
to the jinn.
55:37
What's jinn?
55:38
Jinn, like J-I-N-N.
55:43
It's basically, Jenny can probably describe
55:45
it better. I don't know. I think jinn are
55:47
different than Nephilim
55:49
because that's... Angels are
55:51
different than jinn. I
55:53
don't know a whole lot about it. Somebody said, you
55:56
know, like maybe you experienced jinn or something. I'm like,
55:58
I don't know what that really is, but... It's
56:01
similar to the Nephilim, which
56:03
I don't know. You know, I don't know. Even the Bible,
56:06
those are handed down stories.
56:08
Right.
56:08
You know, I find it
56:11
interesting because there's
56:13
a lot of different stories
56:15
out there throughout different cultures describing
56:18
very similar things that just have different names for them.
56:21
And I'd be very interested to hear about
56:23
Jyn. I haven't really heard much about
56:25
it. But I mean, if you look at even the,
56:29
like Zeus and all the Greek gods
56:31
and things like that and how that all unfolds,
56:33
it's very similar to what the Bible
56:36
talks about and what other cultures
56:38
talk about. And I just find it fascinating that
56:40
I think the more you look into things, the more you see
56:42
that different cultures all over the world have
56:45
very similar experiences. They just call it
56:47
different names. And you know, I
56:50
think over time people have been starting to
56:52
connect the dots. And I haven't
56:54
really heard about Jyn before. I think I
56:56
should look that up. Maybe
56:58
you should talk to my friend Barry, but he's the one
57:00
that like talked to me about it. But
57:03
it sounds to me like it's similar to Nephilim.
57:06
Okay. Yeah.
57:08
Yeah, you should research it. Yeah.
57:10
Absolutely. So I really
57:12
appreciate you guys coming on and just sharing some of your
57:14
experiences and stuff. This was a lot of fun
57:16
for me. This is something that Jamie, I
57:19
told you, I think a while ago that I wouldn't mind
57:21
talking to you on the show. And the
57:23
fact that you were able to have Jenny come on too, that's
57:25
just an added bonus. So you
57:27
guys are great. And I really look forward to hanging
57:29
out with you guys sometime.
57:31
Tony, let's go camping in the alligators. Hey,
57:33
that works for me. Bring your recorder. Okay.
57:36
Yeah, cool.
57:37
Well, it was great talking to you guys.
57:40
And thanks for coming on the show.
57:42
Yeah. Thank you.
57:49
Well, that's a short buddy. I really hope you enjoyed it. You
57:51
can go ahead and share the link to the show that you're listening
57:53
to right now around social media. That will
57:55
help expose the show to an audience that didn't know
57:57
about the show beforehand. And until next week.

1:09:34
of that, because that is the most exciting stuff
1:09:36
that we do. But I like to just
1:09:38
get to know somebody a little bit better. You're trying to
1:09:40
find, you know, do we like the same music,
1:09:43
TV shows, travel, whatever? I just
1:09:45
couldn't get there with this person at all. It
1:09:47
was like doom from the start. If a person can't have
1:09:50
a fun, good
1:09:52
conversation with you, that's a them problem.
1:09:55
With me? That's what I'm saying. You do
1:09:57
this for a living. You're really good at it. the
1:10:00
best at it. Like if someone can't
1:10:02
vibe with that this isn't a fit. Yeah I just I
1:10:04
didn't think that anything I said interested him. Yeah. And
1:10:06
he just was perfectly nice and polite
1:10:09
and I honestly loved his accent
1:10:11
he asked me to talk on the phone. I was like
1:10:13
okay this could be cool but I was like I'm gonna go
1:10:15
see him in person cuz he's so hot. So like maybe
1:10:18
it's not a conversational fit
1:10:20
but I'm gonna climb that. So I'm
1:10:22
definitely gonna fucking. Okay.
1:10:27
She did not fucking. We
1:10:33
did go on a date again I did this for you guys
1:10:35
but I was just like let me see this room. Not everybody gives
1:10:37
good phone and not everybody is great
1:10:39
on a first date and it's just like we're in awkward
1:10:41
he's probably like this fucking girl serious she
1:10:44
met me on a Saturday in the middle of the afternoon
1:10:46
and she's been talking about this on the podcast
1:10:48
for a week. She's been spending money to try to meet
1:10:50
me. She's just been like draining
1:10:52
her bank account on art. All right he's probably like
1:10:54
she's a stalker and she's a little bit crazy
1:10:57
you know so I understand his trepidation a little
1:10:59
bit. Yeah. So we did meet up we went
1:11:01
to a bar and it was definitely
1:11:02
the same thing in person like nothing I said
1:11:05
made him latch. And that's pretty rare
1:11:07
for me.
1:11:10
I tried everything I tried pop
1:11:12
culture
1:11:13
I tried there was a finale of something
1:11:15
that night succession. I tried succession.
1:11:18
I tried our podcast.
1:11:21
I tried the lowest form of human communication
1:11:23
which is what did you do during quarantine. Oh
1:11:28
yeah what I
1:11:29
forget what show it was when we just went off about this. It's
1:11:31
like if you were asking someone what they did three years
1:11:33
ago we have a problem. At the worst time
1:11:35
in the world and I don't want to talk about it it's not interesting
1:11:38
to me. Here's the thing I actually like at some
1:11:40
point you do want to know that about somebody like right
1:11:42
I actually do that was such a shared
1:11:45
collective experience that you want to know what someone
1:11:47
did during it but yeah it's for you it was out
1:11:49
of desperation. I don't want to result
1:11:51
to it because I have to yeah I want that
1:11:53
to like yeah of course that is so funny like
1:11:56
a first date like if you're getting to
1:11:58
like so what did you do during COVID? it. Well,
1:12:01
it's funny you say shared experiences.
1:12:03
I'm like, I can't get this guy to be interested in anything
1:12:05
I have to say. Let me pick the only thing we ever
1:12:08
shared. Yes, that is COVID. Funny, the only thing
1:12:10
we've ever shared was a worldwide pandemic.
1:12:14
It wasn't a match. I still love that gallery. I'm
1:12:16
still a big fan of their art. I know they keep mailing letters
1:12:18
to you the other day. Oh my God, they
1:12:20
still text you. And I think he knew it too.
1:12:23
This is really never happened to me before I left
1:12:25
the date and I went home and he did not like text
1:12:27
me to see if I got home okay. He didn't say like
1:12:29
I had a nice time. I think it was just
1:12:31
sort of mutual that he just like wasn't really that
1:12:33
into it either. I mean, I don't know who wouldn't be into me. I'm
1:12:35
amazing on a date. I give amazing date. And
1:12:38
all we did was talk about him. So, because no one
1:12:40
asked me any questions on the date. But I picked an
1:12:42
awesome place that had like great food and
1:12:45
like a great bar and I just don't think he was into
1:12:47
it. And then he did text me the day after
1:12:49
that, like almost 48 hours later
1:12:51
and just said like, how was your day? And I just let it die. Yeah.
1:12:54
You know what?
1:12:55
Well, sorry to be anti-climactic. I mean, that's
1:12:57
it guys. But that's the story. I don't think it's anti-climatic just
1:12:59
because like I had no way
1:13:01
of finding this person or contacting him. And I
1:13:03
was really pretty sure this is what I was supposed to be because he's
1:13:06
so tall and bald and just
1:13:08
hot. Well, yes, the climax
1:13:10
of the story is in the middle when you were texting
1:13:13
with the, she's the real hero.
1:13:15
Yeah. Like that's the best part of the story. Like go to
1:13:17
here, just like losing your goddamn mind. And then it just kind
1:13:19
of like peters out. It's like when someone comes,
1:13:21
not enough. Well, you know, it's like a little,
1:13:23
you know what I mean? It's just like a tiny bit of cum.
1:13:26
So we have to come back to those people. Yeah. Or
1:13:28
you go to the bathroom to push it out and you're like, nothing's coming out. What's
1:13:31
really funny is that like, when I met him,
1:13:33
I thought he was just kind of like quiet and
1:13:35
brooding. Like I thought that he was like,
1:13:37
it was sexy to me. Totally. But when I
1:13:40
got to know him better, I was like, oh, you just don't have
1:13:42
anything to say to me. Yeah. That's
1:13:44
so funny. You think someone's like sexy, mysterious. And you're like,
1:13:47
no, they just don't have any
1:13:49
no contest.
1:13:51
So that's the rusty story. I felt bad.
1:13:54
I like left you guys hanging and it was
1:13:56
such a saga and I did like keep trying to go back.
1:13:58
I wonder if the owners like know this story. Oh well,
1:14:00
no now.
1:14:01
Send them the link. Send them the link. But
1:14:04
that girl is an icon and she is such
1:14:07
a cool wing woman too because she was just like how
1:14:09
can I help facilitate this for you and just
1:14:11
like offered me all the information. Also, she found
1:14:13
my number through the gallery mailing
1:14:15
list. Yeah. Which I love. So
1:14:17
that's the story. Okay. So
1:14:20
I am so excited to tell you guys
1:14:22
about AG1. Here's the deal. Rain
1:14:24
and I have just been traveling all over, been in
1:14:26
and out of airports. Like we were both feeling super run
1:14:28
down. So I was taking my
1:14:31
AG1 with me
1:14:31
on the trip but I feel like there's sometimes no way to combat
1:14:34
like all the germs like jet lag or whatever
1:14:36
else you're dealing with. So I couldn't wait to be
1:14:38
back at home and like put it in my smoothie this morning
1:14:41
and I'm just so excited to be back in my routine.
1:14:43
So we do love AG1. It's a nutritional
1:14:45
supplement. It's going to be your foundational
1:14:47
nutrition product and
1:14:50
this is great if you're trying to boost your immune
1:14:52
system or optimize your gut
1:14:54
health, stress management, just feel better all
1:14:56
over. And you can really just replace your multivitamin
1:14:59
with this. So every scoop has
1:15:01
your prebiotics,
1:15:01
probiotics, digestive enzymes
1:15:03
for gut support, magnesium and B vitamins for
1:15:06
energy support, adaptogens to balance your
1:15:08
body's stress levels, vitamin C and zinc
1:15:10
to help support your immune health. And we
1:15:12
just love this and it's so easy to incorporate
1:15:14
into your daily routine. You're just going to put a scoop
1:15:16
of it or if you have the travel pack in a glass of cold
1:15:19
water and mix it up and just drink it
1:15:21
and it really does work. There is a team of doctors
1:15:23
and scientists that have tested it for all
1:15:25
the contaminants and it's formulated based
1:15:27
on the latest science and maintains high quality
1:15:30
standards. So we have hooked everybody
1:15:31
onto this and I really feel like it has impacted
1:15:34
me. Again like I'm a little rundown sniffly
1:15:36
right now but I feel like if it wasn't for AG1 and all
1:15:39
the other stuff I've been doing for my immune system, I would be sick
1:15:41
as a dog. So I'll be fine. I'll
1:15:43
be fine by the weekend. Don't worry everybody. I have
1:15:45
a whole itinerary. So we're just such fans
1:15:47
of it and it really is the supplement
1:15:49
that we trust to provide the support
1:15:52
our bodies need daily and that is why they have been
1:15:54
a partner for so long. We love them. If
1:15:56
you want to take ownership of your health, it starts with AG1. Try

1:16:55
now, Sparkly sent me his HelloFresh meal,
1:16:57
these mushroom Swiss burgers. There are beef,
1:16:59
you guys. So here's the thing.
1:17:02
When we first started dating, he was using a
1:17:04
competitor, not gonna say any names, and
1:17:06
I was like, you cannot be in a relationship
1:17:09
with me. If you're not using
1:17:11
any meal kit, fine. But if you're using
1:17:13
a meal kit, it has to be HelloFresh. I
1:17:15
was like, they're a part of the family. You have
1:17:17
to get on this. And it took a few weeks and I fully
1:17:20
transitioned him over. He's on his third
1:17:22
week. He shares his meal with me every time and
1:17:24
he's fully cooking it. So we're a full HelloFresh
1:17:27
family. Oh my God. I really feel like he
1:17:29
has some loyalty and it's
1:17:31
fine. We got him converted and now he's on board.
1:17:33
He used our code. He's been sharing the code at work. My
1:17:36
God. He's really on board. Promotion
1:17:38
engine. Yeah. I've used competitors
1:17:40
before. I've never enjoyed cooking a meal
1:17:42
kit so much as HelloFresh and there is so
1:17:45
much flexibility in the app, in skipping
1:17:47
a week if you need to, changing delivery addresses, adding
1:17:50
a protein to something, adding a side. There
1:17:52

1:17:59
something that's. veggie friendly, all
1:18:01
of that is available. I'm just looking at what they have right now. Vegan
1:18:03
shawarma spiced chickpeas. I just love a vegan
1:18:05
meal every once in a while. Also spicy
1:18:08
coconut curry turkey noodle soup.
1:18:10
You know I love a curry. Their curries are so good. You
1:18:12
know I'm a curry queen. Freaking good. And
1:18:15
curried chickpea burgers. So what's
1:18:17
that one? Spicy coconut curry pork
1:18:19
noodle soup and I've like switched
1:18:21
out the pork for chicken
1:18:23
sausage or whatever. I don't know. I'm
1:18:25
always like mixing it up on
1:18:26

1:18:49
update on our trip. We
1:18:52
went to London and Paris and Dublin.
1:18:54
We had a show in London which was incredible. It
1:18:57
was really hot. There was no AC in the venue and there was
1:18:59
a heat wave in London. So I just want to address a thank you
1:19:01
all who came for sweating with us
1:19:03
and powering through. We were sweating our
1:19:05
asses off up there too. They brought a fan up so
1:19:07
I felt like Beyonce for a minute. But regardless,
1:19:10
I'm just saying thank you to the people that came
1:19:12
there because it wasn't the most physically comfortable
1:19:15
show and you know how I am. So
1:19:17
anyway, but we loved it and we had
1:19:19
the best time and that was our first time there and
1:19:21
we just couldn't have loved it anymore. I mean, again, it
1:19:23
could have been cooler, but we really
1:19:25
had such a good time. We met some of you on stage
1:19:28
and I mean, I don't know what else to say besides
1:19:30
it was really so wonderful. It was special. I
1:19:32
had a moment backstage where I was just like, I can't believe we get
1:19:34
to do this in another country
1:19:37
and pack out a theater here and people all over
1:19:39
the world listen to this and so many
1:19:41
people traveled from India,
1:19:44
Germany, just Amsterdam all
1:19:47
over. And it was just, it's an honor
1:19:49
that people would do that and plan their vacations around
1:19:51
us. And it's just really special to be able to do it. So
1:19:53
thank you. And of course, thank you for coming to all the shows, but
1:19:55
to be in the UK was really cool. first
1:19:59
time we've been there. So we had a great time raining and
1:20:01
see about her family coming and stuff, but my cousin who
1:20:03
lives in Amsterdam came So it was so
1:20:05
wonderful to see her I mean she's just been
1:20:08
like you know We've been so close since I
1:20:10
was born and it was so wonderful to
1:20:12
have her there and she was just so emotional I mean
1:20:14
she just hasn't seen a show yet She's my
1:20:16
family that lives in Miami, but she married a Dutch guy
1:20:18
and she lives in Amsterdam now So she was just like I can't
1:20:20
believe this is what you do You know what I mean
1:20:22
like someone who like has known me since a baby
1:20:25
like a kid I don't know. She's the last family member
1:20:27
that I had. Yeah, exactly
1:20:29
She's truly
1:20:29
you've met my entire family like I've ended so
1:20:32
she was on zoom for an athletic.
1:20:34
Oh, yeah Oh, yeah, she could make to the wedding. Yeah, I
1:20:36
hope it's why I haven't seen our I've never met her Yeah,
1:20:39
so that was very special. Yeah, and my dad came
1:20:42
to the UK our number one fangirl my dad Came
1:20:45
to be hit my brother lives in the UK now to him and
1:20:47
his wife. I got to see their home which is really cool they live
1:20:49
in Marla bone which I absolutely
1:20:51
loved and we just loved being in London in
1:20:53
general and Obviously like just typical
1:20:56
Ashley planned the whole trip spent so much
1:20:58
time researching Restaurants to
1:20:59
go to activities and you really did plan it
1:21:02
top to bottom. So that was really special Thank
1:21:04
you for doing that So after we left London we went to
1:21:06
Paris and if you guys are OG fans one of the first
1:21:08
episodes we ever did We went to Paris
1:21:10
together Ashley and I we just we
1:21:12
didn't plan So it's a hard city
1:21:14
to go to when you just like don't know when anything's
1:21:16
open. You haven't made any reservations It's such
1:21:19
a vast city, too So any
1:21:21
city of to plan in but really that was tough having no plans
1:21:23
then well We didn't have any money and we were sharing
1:21:26
a bed And we had some money like,
1:21:28
you know, we weren't like 25
1:21:29
But like we hadn't made money where
1:21:32
it was like we're both gonna stay in a
1:21:34
nice hotel by ourselves Like we
1:21:36
were still like sharing hotel rooms at the point. We like shared
1:21:38
a fucking bed in Paris Like my
1:21:40
suitcase barely fit in that room, you know, I mean fabulous
1:21:43
with the podcast of all sleep Yeah, like
1:21:45
we were right by the bathroom. I mean so
1:21:48
people are like we need a Paris update. Do you love
1:21:50
Paris? It's like yeah Yes,
1:21:52
it's I've come around to Paris. I
1:21:55
really really liked it It's just truly
1:21:57
the most beautiful city. It's so fucking
1:22:00
romantic. Like that was my fourth time
1:22:02
there. The first time being in high school, I took French,
1:22:05
we went there my senior year, it was so unreal.
1:22:07
And then one time I went with Rob and
1:22:09
a big group of my Atlanta friends, and that was so much fun.
1:22:11
And then the third time you and I, which was like my
1:22:14
least favorite time in years too. And
1:22:16
then this was like going back and Rob came with us too.
1:22:18
When we took the Eurostar over from London, it was super
1:22:20
easy and like a great experience. And yeah,
1:22:23
I mean, it was just, it was wonderful. We had
1:22:25
not great weather. It kind of rained our full day
1:22:27
there. But you know, we did some shopping, sat outside
1:22:30
some cafes, had some
1:22:30
really good meals. And I want to go back
1:22:32
there just like with sparkly
1:22:34
eyes. Like I feel like I've done it the other
1:22:36
ways. And like it is so like Paris
1:22:38
is the city you just walk around and feel in
1:22:41
the air like you really, it makes
1:22:43
me want to be there with a partner. I don't feel like
1:22:45
that all the time. You know, like, I
1:22:47
mean, yeah, I miss him all the time. I want to be with him. But that's city
1:22:49
specifically. I'm like next time I come I want it to be
1:22:51
with somebody I'm like in love with. Yeah, I'm all set on friendships
1:22:54
there. Yeah, I'm good. But I'm happy I have a
1:22:56
new relationship
1:22:58
with it because I know that everybody loves it so much. And I've
1:23:00
really shit on it for a lot of years. So it
1:23:02
was nice for me to just develop new memories there. And that
1:23:05
was really fun. And then we went to Dublin,
1:23:08
where it was cold and raining a lot of the time. But
1:23:10
it doesn't matter. Because honestly, you
1:23:12
go to pubs and you drink there. That's the culture. It was so
1:23:15
fun. I'm sure there's other cultural activities. We also took hikes
1:23:17
and a great food. But it really was just like a
1:23:19
nice time going to pubs with you and drinking
1:23:22
listening to live music. And it's a
1:23:24
really small, compact place. So
1:23:26
you can bop around to a lot of different places.
1:23:28
So we like popped in and out of a bunch of pubs
1:23:30
every day. It just was really so fun. The
1:23:32
people are so nice and
1:23:34
fucking hot. Oh my god,
1:23:36
people are so nice. But we did that day trip to health,
1:23:39
which is like 30 minutes in a car, we just like took an
1:23:41
Uber and we did this amazing hike that is truly
1:23:43
like kind of what I pictured Ireland to be like
1:23:45
that gorgeous, you know, on the water. And
1:23:49
that part of it at least. But I loved it so
1:23:51
much after being in London and Paris because London and Paris
1:23:53
are so fucking big and takes so long to
1:23:55
get around. I mean, they're lost like New York and LA
1:23:57
like in terms of just like it's 30 minutes in
1:23:59
a car. here. It's just like Dublin everywhere
1:24:02
that we had on our list to go, we just walked with maybe
1:24:04
like the exception of like one or two places now it's because it was
1:24:06
raining. Like we really probably could have walked everywhere.
1:24:09
Oh, we would. And we had amazing like breakfast
1:24:11
and beer. We did the Guinness storehouse,
1:24:14
the bar at the top, like the highest
1:24:17
point in Dublin and just had a great time.
1:24:19
I would like recommend it to everybody. It's really just
1:24:21
you can make it a shorter trip, you know, two or three
1:24:23
days. You can really see a lot, cover a lot of ground,
1:24:26
do that day trip and call it a day. But
1:24:28
we loved it. We met some fans. And
1:24:30
maybe one day we'll do a show back there because we do have listeners
1:24:32
there, but we didn't squeeze it in this time, which I feel
1:24:34
bad. I wish we did because I bet it's like so fun to do
1:24:37
a show there. So fun. And I really just want to
1:24:39
say you guys send us so many recommendations
1:24:41
and so many long lists of where to go,
1:24:43
where to stay, where to eat. And I'm so honored
1:24:46
that you guys want us to like love where you're from
1:24:48
and the places that you've been. And obviously
1:24:50
Ashley plans all of our trips, but so much of your
1:24:52
recs come from our friends and you guys. So thank you for
1:24:55
doing that. It's really flattering. You want us to like love the
1:24:57
things that you've done. Oh, and I will
1:24:59
say I really do
1:24:59
feel like you bonded with Sparkle
1:25:02
Eyes more while we were gone. We really did.
1:25:05
We did fire off the group chat was really
1:25:07
funny on this trip. And he did
1:25:10
send flowers to we
1:25:12
got to the green room. First of all, he
1:25:14
said Ashley flowers in Ohio when you guys like had
1:25:17
first started dating. And it was
1:25:19
like very cute and sweet. The moment my dad
1:25:21
like watched you
1:25:21
like freak out about it. It was really cute. And we walked
1:25:23
into the green
1:25:25
room in London and it was gorgeous,
1:25:28
like unbelievable bouquet flowers.
1:25:30
And I'm thinking that my family
1:25:33
who is coming to my first ever UK
1:25:35
show has sent me a good luck bouquet
1:25:37
because I thought it was for Ashley. And then
1:25:40
they were like, Oh, no, no, it's for you. And I was like, Oh, of
1:25:42
course it's my family. It literally
1:25:44
a congratulatory bouquet. That
1:25:46
was the most confused. I was like, Oh, those
1:25:48
are prop those. And I go, wouldn't it be so
1:25:51
funny if sparklye sent me flowers? And
1:25:53
it literally says, dear Raina
1:25:56
blah, blah, blah, sparkle eyes. And I
1:25:58
couldn't believe it. I was like, this is a mistake.
1:26:00
They made a mistake. And you're like, your name is on it. It's not a
1:26:03
mistake. And you were supposed to get flowers.
1:26:05
I never got my flowers. So only
1:26:07
I
1:26:08
got flowers in front of my. So,
1:26:11
like, this
1:26:12
was a thorn, no flower pun
1:26:14
intended, of the tree. He was so upset. I
1:26:16
was supposed to get two dozen red roses,
1:26:18
which I've never had two dozen red roses my whole
1:26:20
life. No one's ever gotten me two dozen roses. Like,
1:26:23
I would have loved to get them. And this
1:26:25
place, wherever you ordered them from, like probably
1:26:27
some like flower company that sources from local
1:26:29
florists, whatever the fact. They send them out in two
1:26:31
different deliveries, which is so bizarre. They're going to the same
1:26:34
place. And mine never came. By
1:26:36
the time they were gonna try to get them to my hotel, we were already
1:26:38
leaving. Like, it was just, I never got them. And they refunded
1:26:40
him. But like, only you got your flowers.
1:26:43
You felt so bad. And it was
1:26:45
so hot down there. And I can tell,
1:26:47
like, you didn't know which thing to lean into. Like,
1:26:49
do I sympathize with him? Or do I sympathize
1:26:51
with us? Because it's very hot down here. You were like, which
1:26:54
prom do I dress right now? Yeah. He
1:26:56
was just super bummed. I was just bummed. I told you.
1:26:59
Listen, I'm a very high functioning person. I can figure it out. But
1:27:01
like, I don't know how to send flowers that
1:27:03
like make it to a green room. Like, they have
1:27:05
to like get to a box office and
1:27:08
come downstairs. I don't know how to do that. And those looked like $200 flowers.
1:27:11
Yeah, he really, he is the
1:27:13
most awful person ever. I
1:27:16
look forward to him doing that for me more often. He's,
1:27:20
I mean, as we record, he's coming here this weekend.
1:27:23
And he's the first time in LA for like a full, full
1:27:25
weekend. He's only been in LA twice, like one night,
1:27:27
both times. And so have a whole
1:27:29
full itinerary plan. I haven't seen him. It'll
1:27:32
be a month and it's just been so difficult.
1:27:34
I mean, we like. I'm trying to laugh at you doing
1:27:36
that. I just. Wow.
1:27:39
What are you, what are you
1:27:42
laughing at? I was thinking about your itinerary with
1:27:44
him and I was gonna say something and you go, it's been
1:27:46
really difficult. And I just burst out
1:27:48
laughing. I
1:27:52
mean, listen, like it's fine,
1:27:54
but I mean, we FaceTimed every night and when I
1:27:56
was gone, like it's just been, it sucks.
1:28:00
I mean, hot take. It's
1:28:02
the worst. It's like three weeks I started
1:28:04
to get a little crazy. I'm like this and we still have one
1:28:06
more week. Like what were you gonna laugh at? You
1:28:08
got listen you want to get your head straight because that's how you
1:28:10
accidentally move in with people
1:28:11
and then you break up.
1:28:16
You're like I miss them so much maybe I should let them live with
1:28:18
me. I was laughing because I'm gonna see you guys on Saturday.
1:28:21
You're gonna come over for a little bit. But then you
1:28:23
told me it's a Sunday I go to the Brentwood farmers market
1:28:25
every Sunday. It's my Sunday special plan. And
1:28:27
I was thinking like should I coordinate
1:28:30
with you guys or should I just like. Should I. I
1:28:36
was thinking like maybe I won't tell you at all
1:28:38
and I'm just gonna like blow in and out really quick. You
1:28:41
know I like to take that spot right in the front. There's
1:28:44
a parking spot. I do park in a red spot
1:28:46
but you've been doing it. The reddest spot. I park
1:28:48
in a red spot and I run in really quick as fast as
1:28:50
possible. So I was wondering if I should tell you I was gonna
1:28:52
be there and coordinate with you or coordinate to not
1:28:54
be there with you. I am dying laughing thinking
1:28:56
about running into you at the farmers market.
1:28:59
So like should
1:29:00
we coordinate times or. I feel
1:29:02
like you guys.
1:29:02
You go. Whenever I'm done working out
1:29:04
or I get up like 10 30. Okay we coordinate.
1:29:07
Like you don't have to see me there if you want to have your
1:29:09
own solo experience like to tall
1:29:11
people at the tall. Oh
1:29:13
yeah that's the tall farmers market we're gonna fit
1:29:16
right in. We'll be short there. Yeah not
1:29:18
him. You'll be a little midget. The guys there
1:29:20
are like six seven monsters. Yeah.
1:29:22
So we'll let you know next week
1:29:23
if I ended up going with them.
1:29:25
Like take your kid to the farmers market. So embarrassing.
1:29:29
Okay and last thing that
1:29:31
happened this was on the way back. We
1:29:33
had a delay on our layover
1:29:36
in JFK and we were sitting there next
1:29:38
to Angela Bassett. I was like actually I think
1:29:40
that's who that is. You were like there's no way she would just be sitting
1:29:42
here. Yeah Angela was on our flight.
1:29:44
She sat in front of me. But
1:29:46
we'd been in the lounge and we went back to the flight game
1:29:49
blades like we're at the gate so we were like sitting at
1:29:51
the Jamba Juice. Angela Bassett
1:29:53
sitting there.
1:29:53
She's like. I dropped the juice.
1:29:55
I dropped the juice. So when she's. Ashley
1:29:58
is going to be like.
1:29:59
And I could see over her shoulder.
1:30:02
I could see her phone and she was just like scrolling
1:30:05
through reels But she was on a fin stud.
1:30:07
Yeah, it was a fin stud, but you were like And
1:30:10
I was like and then we're just gonna what sit at the Jamba
1:30:12
juice They had the
1:30:14
Jamba juice the angel basset When
1:30:17
Angela Bassett was in the Skyles Club when
1:30:19
we went back to the Sky Club after we realized we were
1:30:21
even more delayed
1:30:22
She was in like a roped off area.
1:30:24
What's it called? What are those? anxious
1:30:27
anxious The
1:30:30
intention
1:30:33
Also you guys this
1:30:35
is a crazy story so we're at the gate every 30
1:30:38
minutes They told it to be another 30 minutes And
1:30:40
so they finally like get on the loudspeaker
1:30:43
and start talking about the mics not on and
1:30:45
so Everybody's like the mics not working on maybe
1:30:47
you get to tell them and out of nowhere Swooping
1:30:50
out of the crowd was one of the cast
1:30:52
members from SNL Oh and yang
1:30:54
to tell them your mics going. Yeah,
1:30:56
god damn it right when I say you say oh,
1:30:59
what's it? Oh, yeah, oh, it's Bowen.
1:31:01
That's why I meant also you didn't even recognize
1:31:03
him bitch No, I did not the mic is off
1:31:06
and I'm like the mics not hot Be
1:31:08
like his mic is off and then I'm like who's gonna tell
1:31:10
him and literally Bowen Yang comes up But
1:31:12
I was like there's a guy from SNL that's telling
1:31:14
him and you were like what I was like that guy's an S It
1:31:17
out he's I was on the hell or mike is off when
1:31:19
Ashley was like that's who that was Lost
1:31:21
my mind like I got on the flight Angela
1:31:24
Bassett is right there then Bowen Yang is right
1:31:26
there I swear I saw tanks, but I'm unclear tanks
1:31:28
if you're listening if anybody knows that she traveled I
1:31:30
think I saw her at the baggage claim that flight
1:31:32
from New York to LAX
1:31:35
that Delta flight and then Delta one. I've
1:31:37
never not seen someone who we saw a Bridget Everett once
1:31:40
There's always somebody I feel like I recognize. There's
1:31:43
that couple that was hooking up I You
1:31:47
guys there was a couple are the story I want
1:31:49
to tell that go off this couple was like
1:31:51
hooking up Right at the gate check-in
1:31:54
and like I thought they were saying goodbye to each other
1:31:56
because it was so intense for
1:31:59
so long staring at each
1:32:01
other. I'm talking like right before the plane boards
1:32:03
where there's 200 people standing there right
1:32:05
in the board. Right in the middle at the front.
1:32:07
Yes. Making out, holding
1:32:09
each other, staring at each other's eyes. Rubbing each other's
1:32:12
eyes. This goes on 30 minutes? It was unreal. And
1:32:14
then they got on the flight together. I
1:32:16
was like, they're saying goodbye, they must be.
1:32:19
I've had to say goodbye at an airport recently, I know
1:32:21
how it is, but also I'm off to the back. I'm
1:32:23
also not making out like that. But if they
1:32:26
were doing that in a more obscure place, I would
1:32:28
understand. I know how it is, you
1:32:30
know how it is. Anywhere besides that. They
1:32:33
were basically in front of the, like you said,
1:32:35
the counter, just going at it.
1:32:37
It was unreal. What kind of non-self-control
1:32:39
do you have? And then they got on the flight together.
1:32:42
Crazy. I couldn't even believe it. You couldn't have
1:32:44
figured each other anywhere else. You needed an audience, unreal.
1:32:46
But anyway, what I was saying, while
1:32:48
we were at John Majoose with Angela Bassett,
1:32:51
Reina is like, I could use a smoothie. And
1:32:54
so she goes up and...
1:32:56
I don't see what she'd say. I'm sitting there, whatever,
1:32:58
and I hear them go, Ashley,
1:32:59
order
1:33:00
for Ashley.
1:33:02
And I was like, did I order something?
1:33:04
If I'm having a stroke, I literally thought I ordered something.
1:33:07
It was you.
1:33:12
You have
1:33:13
been using my name.
1:33:15
You've been impersonating
1:33:17
me at Fast Casual. Do
1:33:21
it, it's so much. This is so much crazy.
1:33:29
You have to explain. This
1:33:34
is my secret. I've
1:33:37
kept it from you for years.
1:33:41
I didn't think you'd
1:33:44
ever find out.
1:33:45
I'm like, Angela, are you hearing me? I
1:33:49
just, let's say, Reina's a hard name to pronounce.
1:33:51
It makes me feel weird and nervous
1:33:53
if people aren't even gonna say it when they're yelling it across
1:33:56
the room. So I'm like, what is the easiest
1:33:58
name on Earth to say?
1:33:59
Ashley. Oh my god. No one's gonna misinterpret
1:34:02
what that name is or how to spell it. I get
1:34:04
Ryan and Rania and Renee. Like
1:34:07
people just like it's so demoralizing.
1:34:10
And so for years, I've been saying Ashley.
1:34:15
Whether you're with me or not. Do
1:34:18
you think? I've been hearing it for the first
1:34:20
time. I mean the odds that somebody
1:34:22
who's like a fan of the show has like rung me
1:34:24
up and I've been like you could put it under
1:34:27
Ashley. Yeah they're like Rania wants
1:34:28
to be Ashley so bad.
1:34:32
Rania also like I want
1:34:34
to go back and watch it in slow-mo because I hear
1:34:36
my name and I'm like oh that's weird. And then
1:34:38
as you move towards the
1:34:41
counter to
1:34:41
get the smoothie I was like.
1:34:51
You were never supposed
1:34:53
to hear that. You know what you should have
1:34:55
done. What? Angela.
1:34:57
Because at that point we were unsure if
1:35:00
it was Angela. You should have said Angela Bassett.
1:35:04
Bassett or Greenberg? Bassett?
1:35:07
Bassett? Oh my gosh.
1:35:09
So funny the way you laughed at this the whole way down
1:35:11
the Jeopardy. I couldn't believe what I
1:35:14
was seeing. When you grabbed that smoothie
1:35:16
I was like what? I've done this for years.
1:35:19
Oh my god. This is like when I found
1:35:21
out you
1:35:21
had Napster or Rhapsody.
1:35:25
I know I do have a secret life. Okay
1:35:28
so we are talking about the app today.
1:35:30
Rania got a wild hair and just
1:35:33
got on Hinge. Well
1:35:37
I just happened. So I want to say up top
1:35:39
if you've been following along with the podcast I have been talking about going
1:35:42
on dates with somebody and we are cool but that's not
1:35:44
my boyfriend. So yeah I am well within
1:35:46
my right so is he to go on a dating app. And I
1:35:48
thought as a fun little exercise while we were away.
1:35:50
I mean we were away for 10 or 11
1:35:52
nights together and I thought it would
1:35:54
be really fun and Dublin because you and I
1:35:56
were just solo to pick a day or two
1:35:58
and like update my.
1:35:59
dating apps and the photos,
1:36:02
the prompts, everything, and start messaging people.
1:36:04
And I think that, I get really bogged
1:36:06
down at the thought of messaging people on dating apps
1:36:08
sometimes and having to respond.
1:36:11
It feels like such a job, but when you have
1:36:13
a drink with a friend and do it, it becomes
1:36:15
this really fun, silly, light,
1:36:18
easy thing. And your friends can also,
1:36:20
first of all, not a hot take, but look at your profile
1:36:22
and be like, that's a little too much, or that's a little
1:36:25
too sexual, or too neggy or
1:36:27
anything. I just like to have somebody else look at it and
1:36:29
say, this is what I see in this. And then
1:36:31
it's just fun to do together, to just
1:36:33
look at other people's profiles, make fun of them, listen to the
1:36:35
voice prompts, and message people, take a funny things to
1:36:37
do. So it's just a funny activity with your
1:36:39
girlfriend. It is so funny, yes. And sometimes it's
1:36:42
better to have the extra set of eyes. You had a
1:36:44
full, mere selfie bikini
1:36:46
pic. I was like, no. I just was like, let's
1:36:49
do a bathing suit pic, but let's pick
1:36:51
another one that's not so full frontal.
1:36:54
I hate to use the word thirsty, but I think
1:36:56
it's sending a certain message. And
1:36:58
I say that as like, I don't really wanna see a guy
1:37:00
do that. You know what I mean? When it's just like too much
1:37:03
body, or like naked body.
1:37:05
Well, I think there's like such a science to it. Logan
1:37:07
Urie, who was on the show, she says like
1:37:10
not too many pictures of yourself drinking. Try
1:37:12
to limit the amount of alcohol photos,
1:37:14
photos with friends, maybe you wanna do one,
1:37:16
but I mean, whatever. It's light, it's fun, it's easy.
1:37:19
There is a bit of a science to it. I definitely do get
1:37:21
a certain vibe about people
1:37:23
via their photos, of course. So we switched
1:37:25
it up to a different bikini photo. Yeah, it was just
1:37:28
like farther away, a little more artsy.
1:37:30
Like it was in Cabo, so it was like something to comment
1:37:32
on, like where you were traveling at the time,
1:37:34
things like that. So you messaged a
1:37:36
bunch of people, and that's also a fun thing to do.
1:37:39
Like you just get that extra little
1:37:41
bit of encouragement from your friend, as opposed to like sitting
1:37:43
alone in your home being like, should I message, should I not? Should
1:37:45
I speak first? All this stuff, like who cares? So
1:37:48
that was fun. And yeah, you're right.
1:37:51
It is such a fun thing to do. Have a little glass
1:37:53
of water with a friend
1:37:53
and you know, bounce things off of that. Yeah,
1:37:55
I loved it. I think it's just fun to like laugh
1:37:58
at people's profiles or be like that guy's. hot,
1:38:00
just have fun. And also, I don't
1:38:02
like to go grocery shopping when I'm hungry. So sometimes
1:38:06
I can feel like beyond these apps is really
1:38:08
overwhelming. But I've been getting
1:38:11
digged down recently. So I'm not as hungry and
1:38:13
I can be a little more selective. Okay, which is
1:38:15
nice. I love that. But I do like when you get in there,
1:38:17
you can cast such a wide net, say yes on
1:38:19
a lot of people and then narrow it down
1:38:22
for who you're gonna like message with back and forth.
1:38:24
And one thing I was saying to you is if you
1:38:27
put yourself out there and take the
1:38:29
leap to message someone like to say
1:38:31
a thing like, you know, unhinged to respond
1:38:33
to one of their prompts, and they don't get back to you right away.
1:38:36
I just want you all to keep in mind that so many people
1:38:38
are not on these apps every day, they don't have their
1:38:40
push notifications set up. Like, I feel like we
1:38:42
saw someone this feels very LA.
1:38:44
Someone was like, I only checked this once a week.
1:38:47
You know, I'm protecting my energy, you know, but that
1:38:49
could be someone's story. Like someone could be so sporadic
1:38:51
with it. Like, don't get upset or feel rejected
1:38:53
if you've sent a bunch of messages and haven't gotten responses. I
1:38:56
mean, yeah, those people could have seen it, they could leave you on read.
1:38:58
But some of it is just like, people are
1:39:00
busy, it might not be their top priority
1:39:02
to be like, in hinge, reading messages
1:39:04
responding. So
1:39:06
I just think finding dates on this can be like a full time
1:39:08
job. You know, like my friends that are like, I
1:39:10
had a girlfriend to me the other day, she's in a relationship now, but she
1:39:13
was like, right now I went on like 100 birthdays.
1:39:15
Yeah. And I like when I first moved here, but that is a full
1:39:18
time job doing that, you know, and you have to like, really
1:39:20
swipe out a lot of people and really message a lot of people.
1:39:23
And it's not just like you get in there and it's just
1:39:25
like, embarrassment of riches.
1:39:28
Yeah, yeah, I think that's good to keep in mind too.
1:39:30
I just feel I feel like I'm in a place
1:39:32
to do it. Like I said, like I'm not
1:39:34
starving for attention. I feel like I'm
1:39:36
in a place where I can just like, be a little
1:39:38
more picky. But I've been dating
1:39:40
more recently. And I've been like with more
1:39:43
guys recently. And I feel like it's
1:39:46
just lighter. I'm not like desperate for it. But
1:39:48
I'm just like, I'm in the game. I'm in the
1:39:50
mood. I'm like vibing with dating right now.
1:39:52
And so it makes me want to do it more. Yeah,
1:39:55
but it's not like, these aren't desperate
1:39:57
times. So I'm not gonna say yes to everybody. But like,
1:40:00
hit my stride, I can do this and it feels light
1:40:02
and easy. I think some people are in these apps
1:40:04
and they're just like, I hate doing this, then don't do it. Then
1:40:07
don't do it if you're in a place in your life where you don't want to do it, but I'm
1:40:09
in a place where I'm like, I could get in there and do
1:40:11
some of this. And because I've been dating
1:40:13
a little bit more, it feels like less of a rejection
1:40:16
when somebody doesn't respond to you, because you're like, other
1:40:18
people are responding to me. Yeah. I
1:40:20
mean, if you're sitting there on an app
1:40:23
and liking people and
1:40:25
feeling so fatigued and like, I hate this,
1:40:28
that is the energy that's coming through. I know that someone can't
1:40:30
read your mind behind your phone screen, but
1:40:33
that's the energy that's surrounding you. So it is
1:40:36
more beneficial to be in a better head space around
1:40:38
it. And we had this girlfriend who, she
1:40:41
went on this trip to Europe and
1:40:43
she just was
1:40:45
kind of feeling herself on the trip and she met this guy
1:40:47
who was just basically a total degenerate,
1:40:49
but he was just totally obsessed with her, like
1:40:51
love bombing her.
1:40:52
She was like, this is not my guy, but just
1:40:55
a crazy person, a crazy love bomber,
1:40:57
wild party guy. And she knew
1:41:00
from moment one that that was not somebody
1:41:02
that was any sort of real match, but his level
1:41:04
of just being so obsessed with her. And honestly, just
1:41:06
like a love bombing the shit out of her and being like, I've
1:41:08
been loving you since the first moment I met you, she
1:41:10
could probably tell the story a lot better. But it just
1:41:12
kind of gave her a confidence boost. And she
1:41:15
said the funniest thing on our group chat, she was like, I've
1:41:18
opened a portal. It unlocks
1:41:20
something in her that maybe she needed that sort
1:41:22
of confidence
1:41:22
boost at the time, whatever it was. Maybe she'd been
1:41:24
in a little bit of a rut and she
1:41:26
just got in the apps with an energy of
1:41:29
like, I'm so hot, this guy can't get enough of me. I'm gonna be on
1:41:31
these apps and see what's out there. And
1:41:34
she met this guy and now
1:41:36
they're dating and we met him and
1:41:39
we are obsessed with him. They
1:41:41
have been spending every weekend
1:41:43
together. And I mean, who knows what will happen, but
1:41:45
it seems like a great fit for her. And again, we met
1:41:48
him and he is super into her,
1:41:50
it seems. And they just are really having
1:41:52
a nice, easy, healthy start of
1:41:55
a relationship. And she credits
1:41:58
that like confidence boost. from this crazy
1:42:01
person on this crazy trip with kind of making
1:42:03
her be more motivated. And I think
1:42:05
she FaceTimed with this guy that she met on Hinge
1:42:08
pretty early on. And I don't know if I
1:42:10
said they met on Hinge, but it was on Hinge and now
1:42:12
they're fully dating and she was like, in
1:42:14
that right head space. That's what I was
1:42:16
getting at. I feel confident. I feel like I've
1:42:18
got it going on. It's lighter, it's easier
1:42:21
for me. I'm not in a negative head space
1:42:23
about dating. I think that's what a lot of people get on
1:42:25
dating apps is when you're just like, there's nothing
1:42:27
out there. I can't find anybody. I don't
1:42:29
know how to get these, maybe nag people
1:42:32
a little bit more. I just think if you go in with a confident,
1:42:34
light, easy attitude, that's always
1:42:37
when you fish the best. And
1:42:39
we asked recently on Instagram, what topics do you
1:42:41
wanna see us
1:42:42
cover? And a lot of people said
1:42:44
how to get back out there after a really tough breakup.
1:42:47
And I wanted to address this in terms
1:42:49
of dating apps because it seemed like a
1:42:51
question a lot of people had. And I think
1:42:54
when it comes to wanting to get back
1:42:56
out there, attempting to fire up the app again,
1:42:58
or for the first time after, like a really painful breakup,
1:43:01
or a long-term relationship that ended badly, or just
1:43:03
ended for whatever reason, I think you
1:43:05
have to really look at it as you're
1:43:08
not on the search to find your next partner right
1:43:10
away. This is gonna be a rebound for you. And
1:43:12
I think you just need to look at it as a time
1:43:15
to build your confidence back up, get back on
1:43:17
the horse, and go out with
1:43:19
a nice person, you know? Or
1:43:21
just get laid, whatever it is. I really think that
1:43:24
you should take the pressure off getting
1:43:26
back out there after that relationship and really
1:43:28
not think like I am searching
1:43:30
for my next long-term relationship. Like go
1:43:33
out with the person that seems the nicest, the
1:43:35
kindest, someone that's pursuing you. Like
1:43:37
the point is just to restore your
1:43:39
faith in dating in the first
1:43:42
place. Let someone pursue you, be
1:43:44
obsessed with you, even if it's just someone that you aren't
1:43:46
attracted to. I just think to get over
1:43:48
that hump, you just want a decent person.
1:43:51
Or on the flip side, you just need someone to dick you
1:43:53
down if your relationship is lacking. I
1:43:55
think of almost like find what you may have been missing in that
1:43:58
relationship and think about what you need. Like
1:44:00
if you're feeling like I got dumped,
1:44:03
I'm heartbroken, I've lost so much confidence,
1:44:05
like find someone that maybe you don't think
1:44:07
they're the most attractive, sexiest person in the
1:44:09
world but is being really kind and nice to you and
1:44:11
pursuing you and wanting to take you out and just enjoy
1:44:13
that and lean into it. Or if you were in a relationship
1:44:16
that you really didn't get a lot of sex, you weren't sexually fulfilled,
1:44:18
find some disgusting degenerate on
1:44:20
one of these apps to dick you down. Think you're
1:44:22
asking Tokyo. What's in that? Yeah, I
1:44:24
just think that's when you really need
1:44:26
to not put pressure on it. I know it's hard to
1:44:28
come out of a relationship and you think you want to be in one
1:44:30
again, maybe or maybe not, but I think that that's
1:44:33
the time to just completely take the pressure off
1:44:35
and be like, this is not my next partner. Like
1:44:37
we had a friend that went through this really terrible breakup,
1:44:41
really rough for a lot of different reasons. And
1:44:43
it took so long for her to even want to go on a date. But the
1:44:45
first person she went on a date with was somebody that I
1:44:47
think she had matched with them on a day nap years prior
1:44:50
and then they hit her back up. I think they saw she was
1:44:52
single or they were in town or whatever. And she
1:44:54
just was like, he's just a nice guy. Like I just knew
1:44:56
that that's what I needed to like go
1:44:59
on a date.
1:44:59
Like I knew I wasn't going to sleep with him. I knew I probably wasn't
1:45:01
going to feel him like that, but I guess you never know. But
1:45:03
it's just like a nice person to like,
1:45:06
it makes you feel good about yourself for the night. You
1:45:08
know? Yeah, it's just not that heavy. And yeah, I think it can feel
1:45:10
really heavy because you put all these photos up and all this
1:45:12
information about yourself and you're like, I just want somebody
1:45:15
to like me, but it's just, it's light. It's fun.
1:45:17
It's easy. Just go out there and get either dick down
1:45:19
or get a little confidence in yourself. Yeah.
1:45:22
And we want to talk about getting off the
1:45:24
opps. Okay. I've been getting
1:45:26
off the opps for years. Well,
1:45:29
I just think it's a very funny thing. Like circle
1:45:31
of life, like you're getting on, I'm getting
1:45:33
off. It's like the merry-go-round of dating apps.
1:45:36
You know, someone's always getting off, someone's always getting on.
1:45:39
And I mean, you really so much more than me, if you
1:45:41
guys are newer here, like I don't really complain
1:45:43
about being single because I don't do anything to not be single.
1:45:45
I'm not like going on dating apps. And you for the last
1:45:47
couple of years have been very intentional. I want to find
1:45:49
a partner, want to find something that makes sense for me.
1:45:51
And you have like really taken
1:45:53
the steps more so than me to
1:45:55
like meet more people outside of just
1:45:58
our immediate circle. Yeah. And you've really
1:46:00
been on dating apps and going
1:46:02
out with more guys and you met a matchmaker. And
1:46:05
so you're much more in the culture and you've
1:46:07
really worked it and done all the things.
1:46:09
I ended up with someone that I did not meet on an app. But
1:46:12
I think to your point, it can just be a way to
1:46:15
jumpstart your confidence. Yeah, the
1:46:17
dream is to meet somebody in the wild. The dream
1:46:19
is to not meet somebody on an app. But maybe
1:46:21
you're just like, I have not done this in so long,
1:46:24
then that's the first step. Yeah, for
1:46:26
sure. Yeah. I'm in
1:46:28
this relationship, the only app that
1:46:31
I've really been using, I mean,
1:46:33
I used Hinge for so many years and then I was
1:46:35
on Raya. And
1:46:37
when I got in this relationship, I just let that
1:46:40
run out. I was like, I got to delete this on
1:46:42
my phone. You pay for it. I just let the thing
1:46:44
run out or whatever. Maybe I was sort of active
1:46:46
on it for a few months crossing
1:46:48
over of being in this relationship. But yeah, I mean, and again,
1:46:51
Hinge, you can always pause it, which is a great feature. I
1:46:53
think that we talked about this before,
1:46:56
just because you take an app off your phone does nothing.
1:46:58
You really need to go into the app and figure out
1:47:00
what your profile is doing out there in the world.
1:47:03
And I can't speak for all the apps, but Hinge, you can pause
1:47:06
it, which is just like your profile is being
1:47:08
shown to anybody and you can hit unpause at any
1:47:10
time. So that's a nice thing. So I
1:47:12
just had this conversation recently with Sparkle Eyes
1:47:15
and I had never even
1:47:17
thought of the dating app thing. I knew we
1:47:19
were super secure and he was really into me and I
1:47:21
knew it wasn't on the apps. I knew that in my
1:47:23
heart to be true. I didn't need a conversation. We
1:47:25
talked about not dating other people really early
1:47:28
on and so whatever, like the apps were not on my mind.
1:47:31
But so something that kind of prompted
1:47:33
the discussion the first place was someone
1:47:35
messaged and they said that
1:47:38
he was on Hinge and he had liked
1:47:40
her friend. Basically just, hey,
1:47:43
heads up, it looks like Ashley's boyfriend is
1:47:46
on Hinge. And I mean,
1:47:48
it was like, no, he's not. But
1:47:50
you know, like, I think it's still best
1:47:53
to like still know, you know what I mean?
1:47:55
You don't want to be that naive girl, God
1:47:57
forbid, that's like, no, he's not. But I still knew. And 99.9%
1:48:00
of me can be 100% sure that somebody isn't. And
1:48:05
I'd still be like, all right, well then prove it. Yeah,
1:48:08
yeah, and so I was like, well, I may as well get
1:48:10
the receipts. So basically it wasn't
1:48:12
him. It was somebody that has his same name spelled
1:48:15
differently and it wasn't him at all, you know, and that's
1:48:17
just what it was. But my heart dropped out for a second.
1:48:19
I can't deny that. I mean, you're with somebody that you're
1:48:22
in this committed relationship with and someone's like, he liked
1:48:24
me on a hinge. Like you immediately, it feels
1:48:26
some type of way. And, you know, I was
1:48:29
just like, I told him
1:48:29
about it. Obviously I was laughing about it. And then we had a conversation
1:48:32
about it. And, you know, he was like, after
1:48:34
that first weekend in New York, I paused
1:48:37
all these apps or deleted them. And I knew I was
1:48:39
gonna be with you. And he was like, now
1:48:41
I just wanna make sure I'm completely off of them and like
1:48:43
delete my accounts for good. And
1:48:45
that was just how that conversation kind of
1:48:47
went. And
1:48:48
he, I go, wait, before you delete
1:48:50
your hinge, I wanna see it. Like I was like,
1:48:53
I really wanna see it. Yeah, I was like, I wanna see it to
1:48:55
know if I would have liked you on hinge. And
1:48:58
that's something that I wanted to address like just
1:49:00
talk about with our listeners. Like, would
1:49:02
you like your current partner if you saw them on hinge? Like,
1:49:05
I think it's a funny thing. I love this. Would
1:49:07
you have been attracted to their pictures, their prompts? And
1:49:09
I don't know. Yeah, it's
1:49:11
honestly, it's a no for me most of the time. Like
1:49:14
I try to keep an open mind because like a
1:49:16
lot of people in LA specifically,
1:49:18
all the prompts are about like wellness
1:49:21
and having an open heart and an open mind
1:49:23
and like seeking whatever the fuck.
1:49:25
And I'm just like, okay, just go
1:49:28
out with these people. Cause even people that write that,
1:49:30
like
1:49:30
I have a friend that I've made here and he will
1:49:33
tell you he's into all that stuff, but he's a totally
1:49:35
normal day-to-day person that I could totally
1:49:37
get along with, that
1:49:38
I'm extremely attracted to. Like
1:49:41
just cause they write
1:49:41
a bunch of stuff that maybe gives you an egg. No one's good at
1:49:43
this. I know, like I wanna
1:49:46
pick. I read a profile. Yes, like
1:49:48
I've always kind of been like, I can tell if someone's
1:49:50
like funny or sarcastic, but
1:49:52
not really. I can't. Here's a couple
1:49:55
points. Yes, there's a guy that I went out with a couple times in LA.
1:49:57
I knew him from the walk.
1:49:59
I never saw his dating that profile. I imagine
1:50:02
it's corny as hell. Uh-huh. That guy is
1:50:04
so hot. He's so cool He's so wonderful.
1:50:06
I bet if I would see his hinge prompts, I'd be
1:50:08
like like I bet they have so many Smiley's
1:50:11
body Yeah, he
1:50:13
is sexy and like he's dateable
1:50:16
but the sparkle eyes first of all his
1:50:18
lead picture He's like wearing this chain which you
1:50:20
know, it's the whole thing chain gate But so I
1:50:22
like jokingly I was like, I don't know the chain big
1:50:25
like I love that you asked to see this So
1:50:27
I'll show to you too, but then his prompts even a
1:50:30
I think he's the most attractive person in the world Like of
1:50:32
course now, you know and like in real life
1:50:34
but I feel like his lead picture is not really
1:50:36
how I view him and He
1:50:39
is really funny and he is really sarcastic But
1:50:42
he can come across a little negi and I felt
1:50:44
some of prompts kind of translated that like
1:50:47
I would have been like I don't I think this guy's could just
1:50:49
kind of kind of be a dick And so I
1:50:51
think that if he liked me I would have liked
1:50:53
back and then see how he opened the
1:50:55
conversation But I don't think I would have outright
1:50:58
liked him been like so into him I mean
1:51:01
we've talked about this he's gonna hear this and it's not like it's new
1:51:03
information to him But I just thought that was the funniest game
1:51:05
to play like if you're with somebody and you could still
1:51:07
see their dating app Like would you like them? I just
1:51:09
feel like dating profiles are a they're just they have
1:51:12
to be a like I try to Say
1:51:14
the least amount of stuff in my three prompts
1:51:16
that like would spark a conversation
1:51:19
and be funny and cute and light But like people
1:51:21
write so much and I think it's so awful
1:51:23
But I just try to like look at photos now,
1:51:26
and I'm like I think you're hot I'll swipe on
1:51:28
you, and if the conversation is great then
1:51:30
great I try not to look at the prompts that
1:51:32
much so what I like to look at is Somebody
1:51:35
writes that they're moderate. They're probably not for me or conservatives
1:51:37
I do like to look at that if so many marks that
1:51:39
they want of children I'm not gonna probably
1:51:41
bother with them other than that I'm looking
1:51:44
for a couple lifestyle things that probably wouldn't
1:51:46
match with me and otherwise I don't know I just
1:51:48
don't put that much stock into the prompt I
1:51:50
know I like go back and forth because I'm like their friend
1:51:52
could have told them this funny thing to write or
1:51:54
like This hilarious sarcastic funny
1:51:56
thing to write that doesn't match their personality.
1:51:59
You know then they're almost catfishing you with their personality.
1:52:02
So I think you can tell a lot by the photos though.
1:52:04
I think like where someone's been, like the expressions they're
1:52:06
making, if they're really like someone that takes themselves
1:52:08
too seriously. And then the voice notes are great too. Like we
1:52:11
did listen to one voice note that I was like, no, that's
1:52:14
so, someone that's just takes themselves so
1:52:16
seriously. Too many professional photos.
1:52:18
Yeah. I don't want it. So anyway,
1:52:20
I had this conversation that I already
1:52:23
knew where we stood and everything, but people
1:52:25
ask about that too. Like I want to know if my partner
1:52:27
is off the apps. And I think that this is something where
1:52:30
you always lead with curiosity and
1:52:33
not accusation. And you
1:52:35
can just ask. I mean, I understand
1:52:37
the feeling of dating someone,
1:52:40
thinking that you're monogamous,
1:52:42
committed, whatever. And then they're out there
1:52:45
and your friends are seeing them. You know what I mean? Like
1:52:47
I understand that fear. And again,
1:52:49
a lot of people don't know that you do have to delete
1:52:51
your account or pause it or whatever to not be
1:52:53
shown. But I think this weighs on a lot of
1:52:55
people. Like is my partner still on the
1:52:58
app? And I think that this
1:53:00
is kind of the same as like the what are we conversation.
1:53:02
You know, you just never want to hit somebody
1:53:05
in like that accusatory, like insecure
1:53:07
way. I think you can always lead with sharing
1:53:09
what's going on with you and how you're feeling. But
1:53:12
it can be a little tricky because that conversation
1:53:15
also is like kind of like
1:53:17
the what are we? Absolutely.
1:53:19
And I think that that can be wrapped up in the what are we conversation.
1:53:22
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't think
1:53:24
there's any harm. If you feel like you're
1:53:26
in a good place with somebody, you know, if you're really
1:53:28
still unsure how someone feels about you, I don't
1:53:31
love that for you. You know, like that's my one thing. You
1:53:33
should feel like someone's sure. But if
1:53:35
you feel like you're in that healthy, good space,
1:53:37
they're sure about you, they're showing up for you. You
1:53:39
know, you're gonna hear from them. You're not feeling that sort of anxiety
1:53:42
and you are feeling a sense of security,
1:53:44
then you can just ask like, hey, are
1:53:46
you still like on day naps? I don't know. I
1:53:49
just,
1:53:49
you can be light and just again, just be
1:53:51
curious. I've only ever had to ask
1:53:53
if I was like unsure about the relationship. I'm
1:53:55
unsure and then the answer is yes. They're definitely still on
1:53:57
it. Like when this happened the other day.
1:53:59
got that message about sparkly eyes being
1:54:02
on hand. I told one of their friend and she goes, I
1:54:04
wouldn't tell her this is not true. This is made
1:54:06
up. That was not him. You're just gonna ruin
1:54:08
her day. Like she was so sure that it
1:54:11
was made up. Yeah. You know what I mean?
1:54:13
Because like, I think that when you know that
1:54:15
a relationship is like solid and intentional,
1:54:18
it would be so insane and ludicrous for
1:54:20
somebody to be on a date. Yeah, I
1:54:23
knew it. But I was like,
1:54:25
I don't know. I also share so much
1:54:27
with him. And so it was just like, I kind of wanted
1:54:29
to tell him that happened in the first place
1:54:31
because it did like throw me for a second.
1:54:33
He didn't even flinch. He was like, what? Well,
1:54:36
through me for a second. And I started to like, got really upset.
1:54:38
And then I called you and I was like, I don't
1:54:40
think this is true. No part of me ever thought it was true either.
1:54:43
Neither one of us ever thought it was true. Yeah. Because
1:54:45
that would be insane. Yeah. Stupid.
1:54:47
Are you? He was also like,
1:54:50
I'd have to be insane. I mean,
1:54:52
to just like publicly cheat like that
1:54:54
is crazy. No, I mean, I hate
1:54:56
even like having the conversation about it because it's like,
1:54:59
obviously, but we wanted to have like the larger conversation
1:55:01
about having these conversations. I mean, yeah,
1:55:03
it's obviously, but again, if somebody said
1:55:05
to me, I saw your
1:55:06
partner on a dating app, I'd be like, absolutely.
1:55:09
I need to see proof.
1:55:09
Even if it's most, you know, I'm saying like,
1:55:12
there's nothing crazy about you being like, okay, this
1:55:14
tiny little glimmer of me wants to see you always
1:55:16
got to know. Well, it was that he liked
1:55:18
that person. You know what I mean? Like, those are
1:55:20
two different things, like active
1:55:23
and just being on it. He was neither. It
1:55:25
was a different person. But I use this example
1:55:28
really early on, but I moved to New York
1:55:30
and I was on the apps and I saw a good guy
1:55:32
friend of ours and I knew he was with
1:55:34
his girlfriend, now wife, and was super
1:55:36
happy. And I told him and he like freaked
1:55:39
out. He was like,
1:55:40
women are seeing me on this and I'm with
1:55:42
my girlfriend. Like he was so upset. Like, you
1:55:44
know, again, we can't stress this enough. A lot of people just
1:55:46
don't know that your profile is still out
1:55:48
there in the world. And you know,
1:55:50
you got to take care of that shit. Right. So
1:55:52
you got to delete your profile. Yeah. Yeah. Men
1:55:55
don't know. Women all
1:55:57
know. I think it can be really intimidating.
1:56:00
to have that conversation with somebody. Like,
1:56:02
of course, the what are we conversation? Are
1:56:05
you still doing this? Are you still actively trying to sleep
1:56:07
with other people? Although there's like levels to it. I
1:56:09
feel like the height of like, we are
1:56:11
not a couple is you are going on dating apps, pursuing
1:56:14
new people. It's not like you went to a bar and you met
1:56:16
a new person. And like, if we're sort of in that
1:56:18
gray area and you go out to a bar
1:56:20
and you meet somebody, you hook up with them, you go out to the sign,
1:56:22
but like you're actively pursuing
1:56:24
other strangers, then
1:56:26
you probably don't wanna be with me in a serious
1:56:29
capacity right now. Right, yes. If you
1:56:31
are with somebody that you're into, you typically
1:56:34
take a break. Yeah, not being on the app
1:56:36
anymore doesn't necessarily mean you're my boyfriend now,
1:56:38
but it does mean that you've like hit the pause button
1:56:40
for a second, you've pulled into the parking spot and
1:56:42
you're gonna see what this is about for a second. I'm not asking
1:56:45
you to like be my full-term, long-term boyfriend,
1:56:47
full-term boyfriend. I was like, it's a pregnancy. But
1:56:50
I would like you to stop scouring for
1:56:53
pussy on the internet with strangers
1:56:54
for a little bit. And
1:56:57
especially, you know, something like Raya, like am
1:57:00
I ready to delete it? I don't know, it took me a hard
1:57:02
time to get on it. Yeah, you can't, you know, you gotta keep
1:57:04
that for ever. Like giving up your Soho House membership.
1:57:05
They get me every year.
1:57:08
I'm getting sparkly, I'm not on Raya. I'm
1:57:10
really not.
1:57:10
I let it
1:57:12
run out. But I
1:57:14
had also wanted to talk about the
1:57:17
matchmaker. I brought this up, but I never really like
1:57:19
gave the full rest of the story and I really
1:57:21
went right in to get on this and I want her, again,
1:57:24
I was using this service called Talkify and I really
1:57:26
liked my matchmaker. I would love for you to work with
1:57:28
her. I think she really got me. I think she really
1:57:30
understood me and what I was looking for and I
1:57:32
never spoke about this. I spoke about the first date I
1:57:34
went on. I did go on a second date and
1:57:37
this was before sparkly eyes had
1:57:39
the conversation. We were dating, but we hadn't
1:57:41
had that conversation and I knew
1:57:43
I wanted to be with him, but I also was
1:57:45
like, this woman has been looking for a second
1:57:47
date for me for a month and she's been putting
1:57:50
in hours and like, why not? I
1:57:52
think it almost even solidified how I felt
1:57:53
about sparkly eyes even more, you know?
1:57:55
And then we ended up having that conversation,
1:57:58
but I had like three matches with her.
1:57:59
and I did go on a second date and she
1:58:02
nailed it again. I mean, it was like someone
1:58:04
that I vibed with and had
1:58:07
I been single would have gone out with again.
1:58:09
So, you know, we're talking mostly about
1:58:12
apps today, but I never really buttoned that conversation
1:58:14
up. And I told her, like, I was
1:58:18
like, I liked him, but I'm kind of seeing
1:58:20
this other guy. We're not
1:58:22
exclusive, but I think
1:58:25
we are gonna be. I don't really, I don't know. And
1:58:27
she was just like, well, you know, if you're not exclusive, you can like
1:58:29
still see other people. And I
1:58:31
just kind of like left her on red for a little
1:58:33
bit and then came back to her
1:58:36
when we did have the conversation and was like, yeah, I'm
1:58:38
gonna have to pause this
1:58:39
whole thing and now you can work with her now.
1:58:42
But yeah, I just wanted to say that again, that that
1:58:44
again, like I had another really good
1:58:47
date, but I do think it almost made
1:58:49
me realize even more like what I wanted and who I wanted
1:58:51
to be with. Yeah, I think that it's important to find what
1:58:53
you don't want to be with, you know? Like, I
1:58:56
think we'll talk about this in another episode, but
1:58:58
like you and I have talked a lot about maybe what you've said
1:59:00
that you wanted and what I've said I've wanted in a partner
1:59:03
and you find somebody that's different
1:59:05
and there's trade-offs to everything, but maybe
1:59:07
what I have in my head of what I want is not
1:59:09
when something else is in front of me, like I realize
1:59:11
that's what I want. So sometimes
1:59:14
it's important for me to also go out with
1:59:16
people that are the opposite of that. Yeah, sometimes
1:59:18
it is just important to go out with something. Maybe
1:59:20
you're like, I want this finance guy with
1:59:23
all this money, who's just like the
1:59:25
biggest best CEO in his company and you go out
1:59:27
with that person and you're like, huh,
1:59:29
being on a date with this person, like I'm not that emotionally
1:59:32
connected to this person because their job is the number
1:59:34
one thing in their life and it's all they talk about, it's all
1:59:36
they care about and okay, maybe I thought I wanted
1:59:39
that, but it's not for me.
1:59:41
Yeah, I mean, this is something that
1:59:43
I have learned, continue to learn
1:59:45
and we do want to tackle on a full episode
1:59:48
because I think it's like really important to discuss and this, it's
1:59:50
not about, I don't know, like
1:59:52
not knowing what you want. Like I knew what I wanted,
1:59:54
but I was still kind of wrong. Because
1:59:58
that sense makes no sense at all. You
2:00:00
know what I mean? Like, I don't know. It's something to keep
2:00:02
in mind on dating apps too. The finance
2:00:04
guy is a perfect example. You know, you're in
2:00:07
New York, you think you want this very specific type
2:00:09
of guy with a specific type of job. Like,
2:00:11
do you know the personality of most of
2:00:13
those guys? Have you stopped to consider?
2:00:17
You know what I mean? Like, you really have to think about the
2:00:19
type of person you want instead
2:00:22
of some of the other things on paper. Who is
2:00:24
in those fields? Who has pursued those type of careers?
2:00:26
Not just finance. Anything. Just
2:00:29
any job. Just like me. I'm not for everybody.
2:00:31
I am somebody who has pursued an entertainment
2:00:33
career. I want to be on stage. I want to talk about my life. I
2:00:36
want to share a lot of things. If that is not
2:00:38
for you, I am not your girl. You might
2:00:40
think that that sounds cool and fun, but you get to
2:00:42
know me a little better and you're like, I don't want to be talked about on the podcast
2:00:45
week after week. And Instagram
2:00:47
reels week after week. So, you know,
2:00:49
you never know. Yeah. All
2:00:52
right. Well, Reina, good luck on your journey. Thank you so much,
2:00:54
Ashley. On your journey. It was really
2:00:56
fun. I want to sit down and do it again. I
2:00:58
really had so much fun that night. We were in the hotel lobby. Yeah.
2:01:01
Just like going through my stuff. Yeah. Your
2:01:03
pictures are beautiful. Your prompts are so funny.
2:01:06
What did I say my most irrational fear is? Do
2:01:09
you want to share this? Yeah. People are
2:01:11
going to rip you off. It's a great line. It's the
2:01:13
best. I didn't think you wanted to share it, but I'm out with it. What is
2:01:15
it? My most irrational fear? Sending a
2:01:17
sex to a family member. Accidentally.
2:01:20
Sorry. Accidentally sending a sex to a family member.
2:01:22
On purpose. Different story. And
2:01:24
we love it for a lot of reasons. Why am I speaking
2:01:27
about your thing? I thought
2:01:29
it was funny and edgy and playful. Also,
2:01:31
it's not that irrational of a fear. Like it's everybody's
2:01:33
fear. It's a really rational fear. But it also says
2:01:36
I'm going to sex with you. So I
2:01:38
think it's fun to flirt a little bit on these things. I
2:01:40
think that it is a fine line between
2:01:42
being too hypersexual
2:01:45
and
2:01:45
bringing it up a little bit. And
2:01:47
I think I just I brought it up a little bit. It's
2:01:50
the best answer I've ever seen. Oh my god, Ashley.
2:01:52
Because it really does open up to flirtation.
2:01:55
But it doesn't open up to like, yo, you
2:01:57
want to come suck my dick? Totally. send
2:02:00
me a sex? Yeah. Oh, you
2:02:02
could get that. That's okay. I don't mind it. I
2:02:06
just think it's, I just think it's perfect. I hadn't
2:02:08
seen it and now people are going to steal it and that's fine.
2:02:10
You guys can have it. I thought it was better to
2:02:12
do sex. Do not appropriate the
2:02:14
culture. If you're don't let your
2:02:17
mouth write checks, that your bus not going to cash, that's
2:02:19
your fingers are going to cash. Cause if you
2:02:21
really are not a sexter, don't be out here. Totally.
2:02:24
You cannot appropriate my culture. Yeah. And
2:02:26
I will sext and send you nudes like crazy.
2:02:28
So I just want somebody to know I'm like a little spicier,
2:02:31
but I'm also funny. I don't take myself too seriously. And
2:02:33
you have a family. Oh, also that I'm a family. Not everybody does.
2:02:38
Okay. But it's also just like family's
2:02:40
important to me. Yeah. Cause if you didn't
2:02:42
care about your family and you were like, fuck my family, you wouldn't
2:02:44
care of nudes all day.
2:02:48
All right. Well,
2:02:51
speaking of sex,
2:02:53
all of our nudes. You're looking directly at his hole.
2:02:56
Speaking of sex, all
2:02:59
of our new fall toys, plus
2:03:02
