0:30

and welcome back to the You Up podcast.

0:32

I'm Jordana Abraham. And I am

0:34

Jared Fried. It is so good to be back

0:36

here with you, Jordana. How are you? What's happening?

0:40

We've been sitting here talking about dating news

0:42

items. Yes. The

0:44

show before the show should be a show. I

0:47

know. We should have been recording the whole time. I

0:49

guess the- You shaved the mustache. I feel like- Well,

0:51

no. I just got annoyed at my DMs. Another

0:53

day, another annoyed DM. Oh,

0:55

because the mustache happened. No,

0:58

no, no. She literally- I shaved. I went

1:00

clean shaven. I feel like you looked 10

1:02

years younger. Well, thank you. This

1:05

is what I needed to pick me up.

1:07

I needed someone literally just message me. Oh,

1:09

the mustache is back. Everyone thinks I have

1:11

a mustache whether I shave it or not.

1:13

Really? This because of the shadows and I

1:16

don't connect the mustache to the

1:18

beard. I'm in a mood.

1:20

I'm sorry. In a bad mood? I'm just in a

1:22

mood. I don't know

1:24

if it's bad. In a critical mood? Yeah.

1:27

All right. Well, that'll be fine. I

1:29

just- You know, I don't know. Are

1:31

you in a ranty mood? I'm in a

1:33

ranty mood. And maybe those are the best

1:35

episodes. Someone also DM me. My

1:38

friends were raving about your special. I

1:41

think I'm the Jewish girl you're looking for. How

1:44

about I liked it too? Like,

1:46

am I being? Am

1:49

I being so I would- I, my friends were raving

1:51

about your special. You're like with this girl. I think

1:53

I'm the Jewish girl. No, the Jewish girl in my

1:55

dreams has some compliments in her. I'm

1:58

wrong. I'm wrong. I have to say on this. This

2:00

one I think you're wrong because it reminds me

2:02

of like when I've picked fights with Mike over

2:04

things that he didn't say that I thought he

2:06

should have said even though he has no idea

2:08

that I've wanted him to say that. Yeah, but you're stuck with

2:10

him. Like

2:13

there's a whole law thing that

2:15

has to happen for you to

2:17

get away from him. I'm sitting

2:19

here alone, thankfully, away from not

2:22

complimentville. And I can

2:24

say, well, am I gonna talk to this?

2:26

Do I want to walk to the doorway?

2:29

We can't have it. We can't have the

2:31

expectations be like blind raging praise or

2:34

the not even I listen somewhere

2:36

in the middle. It's a taste thing. It's like

2:38

the dark chocolate we were talking about. Like I

2:40

want dark chocolate, but I don't want 80% cacao

2:43

there. You know, like I want like I

2:45

want it to taste like chocolate. Why don't

2:47

you let the audience and myself know what

2:49

is the what is the ideal DM? You're

2:52

gonna DM like what will actually let you I don't want to

2:55

not with a non block. I get

2:57

embarrassed because I don't want this to sound like

2:59

I'm writing the DM that I want someone to

3:01

send to me. Well, that's the whole point.

3:03

No, because that's what that's being honest.

3:05

Like if I come out in an

3:07

outfit, and this is what I'm comparison

3:09

to my the fights I pick

3:11

with Mike, right? I come out in an outfit. I have

3:13

a specific thing in my mind that I want to be

3:15

said when I come out in the outfit. Right. And

3:19

you would think at this point, he would know it.

3:21

He gets

3:24

to listen to this podcast and know the script.

3:26

Well, that's most edit. So does anyone who might DM

3:28

you? Well, I don't want this to

3:31

be Hey, doors open

3:33

for fucking on my door. I feel a

3:35

little dirty about that. Okay, but I will

3:37

say if you're gonna approach a

3:39

man, a person, a person, anyone, hey, you look

3:42

5:28

conversation going on. I should get in there. I think

5:30

I'm in there. Yeah, I'm like you in there Yeah,

5:32

I'm more of a lurker than an active commenter. Oh

5:36

I'm fucking you know edgar alan poe.

5:38

I'm writing shit. We got to

5:40

10,000 YouTube subscribers You're gonna see it you did it.

5:43

I think we're at 10.3 now Yeah,

5:45

people really when they saw we were at

5:47

the finish line. They just Philly

5:50

shows us over the goal line. Yeah demanding

5:52

now that that we pay up. I know

5:54

well here we go I think the way

5:56

we have to do it so we the

5:58

the the game was We got

6:00

to 10,000 subscribers on YouTube. We would

6:02

do a tour of my apartment. Room

6:06

Raider, no, no, no. What was the style

6:08

being? Candace, what did you say it was? It was

6:10

a Blair Witch Project? A

6:12

combo. I would like a scene from the Blair Witch

6:14

Project where I'm crying in the corner. But we did

6:17

say Room Raiders. Room Raiders. Room Raiders

6:19

meets the Blair Witch Project. No, what's the other

6:21

MTV show where they go to the like cribs?

6:24

It was a crib episode. Oh, meets cribs, yes.

6:26

So I think it should be Blair Witch Cribs

6:28

Room Raiders where it's a combination of all three.

6:30

So you guys just show up. You

6:32

go, are you home? And then you come in and

6:34

you get, because I don't want, You want to be

surprised. I mean, when you, it is funny to think

6:38

that if I cleaned it, you'd be like, you cleaned

6:41

it? Like you wouldn't even know. Right. But

6:43

it's, I think sneaking up on me to see

6:45

it. Okay, well I have to discuss this then

6:47

privately about when you might be home. Your schedule's

6:49

a little erratic. We're stuck in the, and this is behind

6:52

the scenes. And you said that you don't spend any time

6:54

at home. I do try to leave the apartment,

6:56

10:28

like twenty thousand followers when I was like.

10:31

First. Watching the i don't want to be

10:33

the Guys It's like I found the ban

10:35

10:37

Instagram or I didn't I didn't have that

10:39

lot of I just go for the Sudan

10:42

in Nutley. The Beatles is. Once

10:45

they become the Beatles Campbell.

10:48

Her. Name's what's the name. Campbell.

10:50

Pocket and yet or a couple on

10:52

Tic toc. But it's Campbell's Tic Toc

10:54

that popped off because the thing I

10:57

saw. Oh, and we ended up talking

10:59

about the purses. Yes,

11:01

So the thing I saw was

11:03

like that she went to Paris

11:06

and her. varies.com us

11:08

Southern I would call him like

11:10

money on a look at the

11:12

video right now said. To.

11:15

Get a sense. Thirty. Nine Going to hell

11:17

are they would say self on the planet. And.

11:19

I gotta say figure was absolutely far in

11:22

life. They bombed the singer ever the first

11:24

saw him what his own. she's never expecting

11:26

anything from them. She's always surprise and like

11:28

I would be to i'm like are enough

11:31

I mean whatever they've got going on, Years,

11:33

video ads. Two hundred and sixty thousand

11:35

life. I mean people are obsessed with

11:37

them and as I had kind of like

11:39

i hate watch thousand their Well I think

11:42

it started as that a little bit because

11:44

the first video that I saw was her

11:46

getting this person people be I'm like wow

11:48

nice to be rich with a person you

11:50

can't get. We talked about N J trial

11:52

against like was allowed like god what an

11:55

arm As for me and like make an

11:57

appointment in Brown This. Film.

11:59

As. Would you put and Sammy on Jay

12:01

to him by the time, but like you

12:04

can get me some point in like the

12:06

handbag game as know, Riley, My? Like

12:08

saying. That I that will

12:10

that when the discussion became on Jade

12:13

frame right, but then I'm watching this

12:15

couple get bigger and bigger. It's

12:18

on the subject of like so when they

12:20

met I kind of like looked into that

12:22

he like when up to her in a

12:24

bar was like to the most beautiful woman

12:27

I've ever before like but the everything about

12:29

them lives in a romanticized which is why

12:31

they're getting cheered on like raise like they

12:33

are beloved lot of the below Three years.

12:37

Not a good them own opinions are

12:39

top would approve up. I mean real

12:41

and right new people are they are

12:43

beloved and to me if you watch

12:45

them this is not real. It's not

12:47

a realistic. Version of a relationship right?

12:50

I mean her range is bigger than

12:52

the screams like he is a genius.

12:54

By every a town he's like top

12:56

of his class. Someone went and found

12:58

his resume or does he do. He's.

13:01

Gotta be in finance of some sort

13:03

or yo private equity? Yeah, I mean,

13:05

I. Don't I said the Sundays and why I

13:07

say when he degree to be in these videos if

13:09

he's like a really important person, well that's. What makes

13:11

this? I mean I think Tic Toc is

13:13

a very female space. To. Me and

13:16

this is a lot. I'm male craters on

13:18

their those I guess maybe the videos nom

13:20

are coming up on my way silo but

13:22

I'm saying. Like when we

13:24

see like people talking shit about people they

13:26

dated. those are wrapped and you'll see a

13:28

lot of men doing this like to me

13:30

might. This is a very idealized version of

13:33

like how a man should act in the

13:35

world of social media's that he has no

13:37

account. it's her account, he comes on his

13:39

own how beautiful she has. He goes. You.

13:42

Look fired and I That's become his

13:44

catchphrase you have Fired and I puglisi

13:46

of a nickname. Stuff like kind of

13:48

embarrassing but he gave it sources with

13:50

loves his. Money. doesn't seem to

13:52

exist his resume is like eat

13:55

carrots and their story as a

13:57

my story wet dream on a

13:59

wedding So you kind

14:01

of go, and again, I right

14:03

now, like what ends up happening and

14:06

the same thing happens with like me

14:08

going, I can't believe Jay Shetty

14:10

is as big as he is. Like the same

14:12

thing. I'm you and I saying this is not

14:14

real to be divorced in three years. We're

14:16

the trolls. We're under the bridge. And I'm not commenting

14:19

it on their posts. I hope you don't hear me

14:21

say that. We're doing it out of packets. A very big

14:23

one. Are they listening?

14:25

I don't know. If they listen, if I I

14:27

don't look at him and go, oh, that's one

14:30

of my friends. That's how we would act. I

14:32

don't know. Yeah, that's not one of my married

14:34

friends. Well, you know, like, for everyone that's a

14:36

whore, Angel, or hey, I wouldn't look at her

14:38

and I wouldn't if or hey, put up a

14:40

video of him and his wife going, you look

14:42

fired tonight. I feel like I

14:44

would be sending that around the office, like making

14:46

fun of him. No, absolutely. Yes,

14:48

Sean. Sean is feeling very today who

14:51

got into a rock climbing accident. Is

14:54

he OK? I mean, he's fine.

14:56

Oh, my God. He twisted his little ankle.

14:58

Oh, my God. We even made fun

15:00

of him when he ventured. Yeah,

15:03

if he was if he was in the Pookie videos, that

15:05

would be going around like right. It would be

15:08

a mix. Some people say half the office would

15:10

be, oh, he is so sweet because he is

15:12

sweet. That's the moral. And the rest of us

15:14

would put him back in his place, which is

15:16

due. Right. What do you do? I agree with

15:18

you. A separate group. Also, I don't appreciate it

15:20

because now what do I have to do this

15:22

for my partner? Right. Well, that's that's me. He's

15:25

fucking over every one of his friends.

15:29

He is the equivalent of

15:31

like a woman, like an

15:33

Instagram thought type

15:35

person with like a boyfriend, let's

15:37

say. Right. And then you're you as a woman

15:39

are looking at like he's not expecting me to

15:42

wear that. Right. Right. Like that. Well, even even

15:44

to go away from thought, he I agree

15:46

with that. And there's another version of like

15:48

the woman who does it all. Maybe

15:52

in hand doing her right. Her

15:54

job with her left hand. Amazing

15:57

dress. Perfect makeup. Though

16:00

that's true and mom who does it all,

16:02

read them all right and you go well.

16:04

that's what about me and fuck and smiles

16:06

and an throat. Here's the thing. the mail.

16:09

16:20

With him he married his voice. Or

16:24

16:26

unpopular opinion that he married is extremely materialistic woman

16:28

who just goes around lot like showing in like

16:30

sign of a gross tacky way all of his

16:32

money off on Instagram. To me that's what's wrong

16:35

16:39

businesses that. We

16:42

want to go viral. Put that or

16:44

16:52

Grubber my ah. I

16:54

16:56

than they raise. that's. What I do,

16:58

they do a thing. They do this thing that

17:00

annoys me. I see be woodshed If he were

17:03

I'd later. When. I don't think

17:05

so. I don't blame ya. Well they do

17:07

this thing where they go eat at a

17:09

waffle house and they go he that chick

17:11

fillet has like a joke. If it's not

17:13

even like it's them personally Iraq right it

17:15

is, it's well. that's a thing. They're so

17:17

not ironic. They're so sweet and honest about

17:19

the lovey dovey shit I think people by

17:21

the chick flicks whenever I see them as

17:23

your flair of the call waffle whopper What

17:25

they call they have a good nickname for

17:27

it's. I've. I've watched everybody else or. Some.

17:31

Part of a problem, but. Wapo,

17:34

He's like I were here a while though and

17:36

you're like. They. Know. There's.

17:39

No, I roll at. Waffle does exist part of

17:41

our lives. It's like this. like. It

17:44

it is kind of like their items that relate

17:46

ability. Yeah. It's a conservative

17:48

wet dream of a certain time

17:50

because as politically speaking, there's this

17:52

like we don't talk about money

17:55

and religion and really and politics.

17:57

And we love our waffle house.

18:00

A little bit of that words like we

18:02

us half with went away half and work

18:04

sackings this couple that loves the summer. but

18:06

it's like if you look beneath the blanket

18:08

you don't wait. What? What is being celebrated

18:10

here? I guess a disguise Have no opinion

18:12

other than she's beautiful wonderful in the best

18:14

is a rather than what's. So great about

18:16

her! She knows how to purchase an expensive

18:18

handbag with someone else, has money. Is.

18:20

That like the talented everyone value

18:22

by. I think he's become

18:24

the star. Of. This like

18:27

I don't think she's kind of

18:29

background music at this point. Amazing.

18:31

he's got. He's the people that

18:33

really do with the interesting part

18:35

because it's a man. That.

18:37

Like kind of lives in

18:39

this like romanticize your Cinderella

18:41

version Candace. They're.

18:43

Looking people are looking for their jets

18:45

and i guess that's the of unreasonable

18:47

part why are there looking for someone

18:49

to paper said and tell you a

18:51

beautiful weather well as well as about

18:53

said is like is there are people

18:55

looking for as he have a great

18:57

as he funny is he like he

18:59

has not made one joke yet of

19:02

let's say i'm lunge at the last

19:04

other has like a process small I

19:06

am. I. To.

19:08

Me your we live in the

19:10

Podcast when we live in this

19:12

like dating reality that gets murky

19:14

and. Kind of. Gross.

19:17

And like you know and and also

19:19

like fun and has funny stories. We

19:21

have such a segment: awkward sex slice,

19:23

awkward interactions. Dating is awkward. Dating is

19:25

messy. Maybe you have a friend where

19:27

someone comes up to them in a

19:30

box and I was thinking of Jet

19:32

was his idea. What would I ever

19:34

walk up to him and box usable

19:36

Blue To whom when I have a

19:38

disease and an enemy fire personnel, it's

19:40

not like they're I think that's why

19:43

Jet becomes aspiration to both sexes of

19:45

I I think ah can. Take

19:48

but that's because you're like he's

19:50

He did it as a confidence

19:52

to deal with confidence the I

19:54

was there. And I think a

19:56

lot a man and that's exactly it is

19:58

feels like up possession. My. Way

20:01

is buying possessions the see his his possession

20:03

and he's admiring his own possession. I.

20:05

Want that I'm gonna go to not like. You.

20:08

Know if you're extremely beautiful. I like

20:10

beautiful things of. Be. With you

20:12

you can buy more. Beautiful thing serve.

21:08

I like the apply. I appreciate

21:10

a discussion like I think discussed

21:12

in. A get has a guy,

21:15

I look at him and I go like that

21:17

the dream of having a boy from with no

21:19

social media is a meme that's been done. Sore

21:21

is the boy for he's the living on of

21:23

proof of the boys don't know social media. That

21:25

only tells you how Britain look on social media.

21:27

Well that's what I'm saying. like that's not real. There's

21:29

no way that's real. That's no way when like the

21:31

eyes of us is off that that is what's happening.

21:34

I won't accept talk objects friends sign

to me, right? You know we're

32:41

able to actually I mean I I

32:43

know like the insta husband There

32:46

right, but there are nights where Mike is a

32:48

jet Sure, but there's

32:50

nights where he is not a jet when he's

32:52

eating gushers and a Mountain Dew Right

32:54

and you're like that I don't feel like

32:56

getting you the water from downstairs, right? Right,

33:01

let's read the email. All right Hey

33:03

J&J writing to you during a moment of anxiety I

33:06

recently went on two dates with this guy from bumble

33:08

in my opinion the dates could not have gone any

33:10

better I've never felt so comfortable on a date and

33:12

had so much fun The last date

33:14

we went out on was Tuesday night and I

33:17

knew that the guy was busy all weekend with

33:19

local activities local activities It's

33:22

now Saturday night And I decided to check out his

33:24

bumble account to see if he updated it since our

33:26

dates And I see that he is on travel mode

33:28

in a city that he didn't tell me he was

33:30

visiting this weekend Do we think

33:32

he lied about his weekend plans and if so why

33:34

he was having a big party at his parents house

33:36

So it seems like an elaborate lie for no reason

33:41

Also, I guess where's his parents house.

33:43

I don't know go on I'm sorry could yes parents

33:45

could be out of town Whatever also if

33:47

a guy is engaging with his apps after a

33:49

good date Does that mean he's no longer interested

33:51

or could he just be using them out of

33:54

habit? I need help to calm my anxiety down.

33:56

Thanks a spiraling sister. I

33:58

love this email because It's

34:01

why this is a podcast and not

34:03

a TikTok video because when

34:05

I hear this, I feel

34:08

for her. She's not – I'm

34:10

never going to tell her how to feel. Her

34:12

feelings are valid. You want

34:14

to – she likes them. You go on

34:17

two great dates. She says in my opinion,

34:19

these were the best dates I've had. She

34:22

says in my opinion, they couldn't have gone any

34:24

better. Never felt so comfortable. Love

34:26

that for her, okay? I

34:30

would say that when she goes on the

34:32

app to say, let's see what's going –

34:34

and then sees he's at the bar that

34:36

literally says singles night at the

34:39

top, which is what every app is, I

34:42

understand why there's a deflating moment. And

34:45

also to see he's traveling, changing the

34:47

location. He's changed the status, which means that he's not –

34:49

it's not like – because you said before, which I agree

34:51

with, I think these are kind of – a lot of

34:53

people on the apps are just like impulsively opening it like

34:55

you would open Instagram and then you'd open the app and

34:58

then you'd open something else just sort of as a habit,

35:00

muscle memory. It is toilet fodder. But – It

35:03

is in the – Right. It is in

35:05

the rotash of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, dating

35:07

app. But he's on travel mode, right, which is

35:09

not a – I'm

35:12

not familiar. So – Right?

35:15

Is that what she – I see that he's on

35:17

travel mode. It's been a bit since I've been

35:19

on Bumble specifically. I'm not on any apps

35:21

now, but what would – can we get a word

35:23

on what travel mode is? They'll

35:27

be able to see you're not in your own city, but

35:30

you can be away still talking to people in your city,

35:32

but you can also talk to people that are in that area.

35:34

Is it something you have to manually change or do you have

35:36

to turn on travel mode? You do have to turn on travel

35:38

mode, but I believe that it gives

35:40

you a notification like when it senses you're in a

35:43

different location far from home. Like it'll ask you –

35:45

You can turn it on. You want to be on

35:47

travel mode. Same for you can turn Bumble on snooze

35:49

mode, you know. Can you turn travel

35:51

mode if you don't travel at all? Because there's

35:53

another option she hasn't really – I'm sorry to

35:55

horrify her. Right. But maybe he was

35:57

traveling somewhere in a couple weeks and he – Decided

36:00

that that's even worse today.

36:02

I'm gonna take a dump in San Diego Right,

36:06

that's even a travel mode automatically turns off within

36:08

like a week. I believe Right.

36:10

It turns off when you go back

36:12

to your original city It's it's an automatic like

36:14

if he was leaving in a few weeks It's

36:16

going to turn off in a week anyway, like

36:18

you'd have to go back in and turn it

36:20

back on But he's

36:23

saying he could just be like can't do it

36:26

losing Yeah, well, I can't set his location to

36:28

San Diego while here in New York He

36:30

can and then usually people change their bios

36:32

to all be there these dates, right? If they're trying

36:34

to like set something up But everybody will be able

36:37

to see you're in travel mode and see those changes

36:39

but travel mode basically just but you do have You

36:41

have to opt you have to turn it on or

36:43

opt into it Yeah, but turning it on and then

36:45

it turns off in a week. You can turn it

36:47

back on right that minute, right? Yeah, so there is

36:50

a chance right that he's in her city

36:52

turning on travel mode To see what's going on in

36:54

another city that he might be visiting later I'm sorry

36:56

to horrify her but that is an option on the

36:59

list you know why it could be going on not

37:01

so deeply in love that he has Completely

37:04

purged himself of

37:06

the apps. This is basically the upsetting part I think

37:08

this email is what got me kind of in this

37:10

mindset It's like the whole in a mood a little

37:13

bit like I remember reading this and then thinking like

37:15

Like I was like trying to think because

37:18

again our job put ourselves in the position

37:20

of the email or or the person they're

37:22

dealing with So I'm sitting

37:24

there going and I'm trying to personalize this and

37:26

I was I think I was on I

37:29

was on the treadmill what's up ladies and then I I

37:33

Was thinking about this and I was like, you

37:36

know, I've never I to me She's

37:39

overreacting. Okay, it sucks to

37:41

see that But your

37:43

good experience on the dates and

37:46

it sucks to see that because it's everything sucks now

37:49

2020 this is 2024 you have

37:51

to see I get breaking news,

37:54

you know East Turk is

37:56

and is under attack and I'm like, I didn't

37:58

need that. I don't care about it these Turkestan,

38:00

I'm sorry Turkestanies. Whatever,

38:03

is there even a country that I name? I

38:05

apologize to nobody. But

38:08

I'm saying whatever country there's a

38:10

thing breaking news, I didn't

38:12

need to see that. I didn't need to know. I didn't

38:14

need to know. We have a lot of information. We have

38:16

a lot of information. And this is the same for dating.

38:19

Well no, because this is a little different

38:21

than dating because she went to abc.com. Right.

38:24

abcnews.com. Like this is different because she

38:26

was looking for the information. I

38:29

think. But also, again, even the fact

38:31

that you could get that information perhaps too

38:34

much. It's too much that

38:37

you can even figure out. Right. But

38:40

I think that's right. But you're right, you are right. She

38:42

did go looking for something she didn't want to see. Right.

38:45

And I would say there's two things that

38:47

could be true here. The

38:49

date, one, she could be correct that

38:51

this was an unbelievable date. And

38:55

as a man, as a disgusting man,

38:57

he could still be looking anyway just for fun.

38:59

Well this is where I went to personalize it. I'm like

39:02

in love with it. Even though he had a wonderful

39:04

time. I've been on two great dates with one great

39:06

woman. I've also been on

39:08

the apps that weekend. Right.

39:11

While I was in the bathroom peeing on the

39:13

second date, I was on the dating app. Okay.

39:16

This is one of those scenarios where that's when

39:18

I started to kind of spiral a little bit

39:20

because I did kind of say to myself, well maybe

39:23

this is why. I'm

39:25

sitting here saying that single at 38, almost 39. So

39:29

I'm like, what has this done to me?

39:31

Like, you know, I got a little bit

39:33

down the road. Right, are you always looking, are

39:35

you always continuously looking? You can't be

39:37

like sticking with one person. Is that?

39:40

Right. And I think that's a male thing. Right.

39:43

And I think that's something that she

39:45

has to acknowledge like, or

39:47

doesn't have to, but I'm saying like, this

39:50

is the dirty alleyway of dating

39:52

that we have to deal with that our parents

39:54

never had to deal with. But could you

39:56

be on those apps still after those two dates,

39:58

had a great time, had an- amazing time,

40:00

still looking to go out with that person

40:02

and kind of look and just kind

40:04

of think it's like meaningless. Yes. Right.

40:08

Absolutely. That's the

40:10

problem with dating podcasts. We're not going to give her

40:12

an answer. You're not doing anything wrong technically. It's

40:15

a whole thing. He's doing nothing wrong. He also

40:17

could like you and thought that those dates were

40:19

great too. There is

40:21

a dopamine rush to getting the

40:23

match. Again, she

40:26

has to take everything in at once. She

40:29

has to take in the idea that like this kind of

40:31

sucks. I went and looked for it. Also,

40:33

remember we get emails here all the time. Why

40:35

do they match and talk to me and never

40:38

make a plan? Well, maybe they

40:40

went on two great dates with someone and they're

40:42

like really kind of looking forward to those. This

40:44

was just a gamified version of dating that they

40:46

don't even think of as dating. I'm

40:49

giving a lot of leeway but you have to remember like

40:51

these are human beings on the other side too. That's

40:53

the other thing about going on two great

40:55

dates is that two incredible dates to you could

40:58

be. I think that maybe this

41:00

happens with you more than other

41:02

people. I could

41:04

see someone going on two dates with you and thinking

41:06

they were incredible. I'm

41:10

sorry, what was her name? We had Nora on

41:13

the show said you were a really good first date. You're

41:15

a good first date. I can do a good first date.

41:18

You're a very, very good first date. I could see

41:20

someone going on two dates like that with you

41:22

and saying like we had an incredible time.

41:25

Absolutely. She's saying the same thing

41:27

but also not. But

41:30

not meaning the same thing for them as it

41:32

means to you. That's the problem with

41:34

Jet to bring it back

41:36

to Pookie Talk. Jet,

41:40

she's sitting there. I

41:43

want to encourage her to

41:45

keep being romantic even though

41:47

she saw something very not

41:49

romantic. I

41:53

could understand someone's annoyed with my

41:55

positivity angle on this but like

41:57

her most depressed friend is going to give her

41:59

the love. the worst advice in

42:01

the world. Her most depressed friend,

42:03

her most angry at dating friend is going

42:05

to want her to be just as angry

42:07

as them and pull them down with them.

42:09

I'm here to tell her, own

42:14

your feelings and be

42:16

aware that you might

42:19

come down to earth and crash and burn. Well,

42:22

what should she say? What should she do

42:24

with this information? Nothing. Nothing. You

42:26

can't do anything. But I do think it's

42:28

almost like, you know the thing now, right?

42:30

You had the two great dates. I think

42:32

this is just a reminder that you've only

42:34

been on two dates. You saw the thing,

42:36

hurt your feelings. You could say, I'm maybe

42:38

over invested in this. Well, I

42:40

think there's a little bit of like, okay, like

42:43

calm down. Yeah. You're, you're, you

42:45

had the two great dates. He didn't

42:47

do anything horrible, but also just remember, because

42:49

I think that a lot of women do

42:51

this, myself included, is you take those two

42:54

dates and you emotionally masturbate them into a

42:56

relationship or something that's bigger than it currently

42:58

is. And that's great in

43:00

the like our story romanticism of it. Like

43:02

sometimes that works out. Sometimes you get lucky

43:05

and that works out, right? Like that emotional

43:07

thing that takes you there. But most of

43:10

the time you have like things go at

43:12

a pace. And so when you get

43:14

ahead of yourself, and it sounds like she's pretty anxious

43:16

and anxious people get ahead of themselves a little bit,

43:18

I would just say, okay, you saw this thing, hurt

43:20

your feelings a little bit. What, what am I going

43:22

to do with this information? What am I going to

43:24

do with this anxiety? I'm just going to take it and

43:26

I'm just gonna, it's gonna be a reminder. We've

43:28

only been on two dates. Right. Like, I'm

43:31

gonna like go into the next date. Let's see how the next

43:33

date goes. I'm gonna sing, think one step ahead. It doesn't mean

43:35

just because he's on these apps that we can't go on a

43:37

third date. He doesn't owe me anything at this point. Right. And

43:39

I don't owe him anything at this point, because we don't really

43:42

know each other that well yet. Here's the

43:44

other thing. I agree with that. It

43:46

keeps you real. This is a, this is a moment.

43:48

This is a grounding moment. Yeah. And I think

43:50

that's fine. Like, Well, this is why you

43:52

realistic. There's two things I don't want to

43:55

keep going back to jet, but I want

43:57

to just acknowledge this is why jet is

43:59

dangerous. Well, that's because he's like the exception.

44:01

Well, you know what I'm saying? Like, this is why when

44:03

he gets glorified and this is how every man should be.

44:05

Well, it's not how they are. Sorry.

44:08

So I could- I don't think that's how he is either.

44:10

I don't think so either. He doesn't even have his own

44:12

account. But I would say like

44:14

when she goes and sees her guys still

44:17

on the app and jet gifting a Birkin

44:19

and going, you look fire, boo-hee. Right,

44:22

she's like, I need a guy like that. Well, I

44:24

guess my guy's the asshole. I guess I didn't

44:26

find it yet. And I want to like make

44:29

sure what you're saying is

44:31

right. Because it's like, this is

44:33

a grounding moment. This doesn't make him

44:36

evil. This doesn't make him- Bad, even.

44:38

Bad, it doesn't make him the one.

44:40

You know, it's neither here nor there.

44:43

It's the fun of dating is not

44:45

knowing sometimes. Right. So she's

44:48

got to go on the next day. I think it's okay

44:51

to then know that like, this is a conversation

44:53

that you need to say about yourself. Maybe

44:56

on one of the future dates, this is

44:58

on the resume and you say, hey,

45:01

you might be making fun of this one day. You

45:04

might be joking with him. And that's a very, the

45:06

dream is that you're at your wedding going and

45:09

he put his location. And I thought he was

45:11

somewhere when he was actually this or he

45:13

has some explanation that makes sense. Or in the

45:16

beginning, oh, I didn't know. You were all traveling, you're

45:18

lying to me. Like you might joke about this one

45:20

day as much as no one would admit that. I

45:23

would say to her, at some

45:26

point you have to say, what are your feelings on

45:28

the dating apps? Cause I'm off of them. Like,

45:31

I don't think two dates is the time. No, not two

45:33

dates, but like, hey, I've had a great time with you.

45:36

Five dates in, I've had a great time with you. I'm making

45:38

a commitment to this. I just want to like concentrate on

45:40

this. I'm deleting the apps. Like

45:42

saying that. Yeah, you could say that, not after two

45:44

dates. Not after two days, but I'm like, I think

45:46

saying that for yourself. Yeah. Might

45:48

get a conversation that you

45:51

might not have seen coming or. Yeah,

45:53

it's a good pulse check. It's a good

45:56

pulse check. And it's a pulse that you know is. exists

46:00

for him. For sure. Like you

46:02

know the apps are a part of his life. Right.

46:04

But also again, you could have gone on two

46:06

really great dates, really like someone and still gone

46:08

on a date with someone else in between your

46:11

second and third date with that other person. This

only starting your fitness journey was as easy as

47:15

starting this podcast. The truth is

47:17

all the lift big, get big and beach body

47:22

from even starting. And starting

47:24

is what matters most. It's everything.

47:26

I love Peloton because it fits into

47:28

my life seamlessly. I take their yoga

47:30

classes at least twice a week. I

47:33

love them. The instructors know exactly what

47:35

they're doing. And I always

47:37

feel like I'm getting a super

47:39

professional, super tight workout with amazing

47:41

music by people who know exactly

47:44

what they're doing. Wherever you're beginning

47:46

and wherever you want to be, Peloton encourage

47:48

you to just start. They have thousands

47:50

of classes to get you moving and doing what you

47:52

can. If that's a 10 minute low impact class, they

47:54

have those. And when you're ready, take

47:57

it up a gear with a 30 minute live DJ ride.

48:00

Peloton and find instructors that will keep you motivated

information. Remember the

48:43

worst memory ever. Candice is

48:45

like I cannot answer one more DM asking

48:48

for the email. Somebody DMed us the other

48:50

day and asked do we have an email

48:52

for the show or do they just DM

48:54

their questions. Guys

48:58

Candice again we're talking about one person.

49:00

Did you give her a present and

49:02

just figure this shit out for yourself? It's

49:05

our birth month. Sorry. It's Jared's birth

49:08

month too. Let's

49:12

do an awkward encounter. You ready? That's

49:14

right. J

49:16

and J thanks so much for the pod. I

49:19

started listening in 2018 after ending a 10 year

49:21

relationship. I'm now happily married and this podcast is

49:23

still my favorite. I want to share an awkward

49:25

encounter that I won't call a date. In

49:29

2018 when I was single I got on the apps

49:31

with the intention of meeting people and having fun. I

49:33

set up a date with one of my matches

49:35

pretty quickly. A couple of days before our date

49:38

he asked me to send a photo that wasn't

49:40

on my Tinder profile to make sure I wasn't

49:42

catfishing him. What do you think of that? I'd

49:46

be out. I will say this from

49:49

the guy side of things. That's not why he's doing

49:51

that. I don't know why he's doing it. I

49:53

mean there's a number of reasons. I would

49:55

just be like... I

49:58

wouldn't even answer. I would exit stage right now. You're

50:01

not dealing unless you're just look if you're

50:03

like I want to fuck yeah I mean

50:05

she says intention meeting people and having fun,

50:07

so maybe she goes I sent a photo,

50:09

and he didn't respond Disrespectful

50:12

is that that's as bad as your

50:15

friends my friends raved about the special thing worse

50:17

could have been a dislike But I dislike a

50:20

reaction right yeah, you're right the

50:24

He I sent him a picture. He didn't respond the

50:26

day of our date I texted to make sure we

50:28

were still on still no response. I

50:31

would assume. It's off the minute I didn't get a response in my

50:33

picture Sam right yeah, I

50:36

Didn't bother with the rigor

50:38

role of getting ready and he texted me

50:40

an hour after our theoretical date Would

50:43

have been it would have been yeah, so

50:45

basically he texted an hour after what their would date

50:48

would have been whoo Just

50:52

woke up from a nap Go

50:55

fuck yourself the ball the ball

50:57

to ask for another picture I

50:59

got five, but I just put

51:01

my put my man. Yeah, I've

51:04

been pretending like you're He

51:06

texted the word whoa This

51:10

is like the worst actually you know it's funny

51:12

because you're like I'm 10% away from

51:14

everyone This is like the person at like the

51:17

90th percentile 95th percentile

51:19

of like awful the anti-horror.

51:22

Yeah This is

51:24

like a fucking asshole. Sorry. Yeah, that's

51:26

a dick. I mean No

51:32

response no oh my god, and

51:34

then to ghost the date come

51:36

back from the dead Oh Had

51:40

to get some shutout little this person like

51:42

gives a shit about anything I didn't

51:44

respond and just went to bed two days later He texted

51:46

me and asked if I wanted to hang out at his

51:48

apartment complex pool This

51:51

guy is everything from a movie. Yeah, the pool the

51:53

whoo at this point I

51:57

was still dedicated to my mission of meeting

51:59

people It's not him. It's not

52:01

him. Well, what fun could he be at this point?

52:03

He only makes me feel bad. Um, and mainly it was hard

52:05

to say no to pool time. That I guess, you know. How

52:09

hot was it? Right. I had no idea it

52:11

would be just him or, and I... I

52:14

had no idea if it would just be him and I or

52:16

if other people would be there. When I got there he immediately

52:19

exclaimed, God damn, you're fucking

52:21

gorgeous. Oh my God. You

52:25

gotta take a better picture. Every... I hate every part of

52:28

this. He's

52:30

brutal. And his friends were indeed there. The

52:32

guy quickly got hammered and spoke to me

52:34

very little, despite me trying to initiate conversation.

52:37

But his friends were really fun. About an hour

52:39

into the gathering another woman showed up. I mean, we're

52:42

getting a part of this story. How do you not

52:44

look at the friends and go, what's the deal? Like

52:46

I... I mean,

52:48

she's probably like, I'm just gonna like have a good

52:50

time. Right. Maybe the friends of the guy. About

52:54

an hour into the gathering another woman showed up. She was also

52:56

friendly, making a point to talk to me. But

52:59

as she was talking to me I could see her staring at the guy

53:01

while biting her lip. It

53:03

was not subtle at all. As the alcohol

53:05

continued to flow she and this guy were

53:07

all over each other and recreated the famous

53:10

dirty dancing lift in the pool. Wow. You're

53:13

on someone else's art story page. Maybe you're there

53:15

for the friends, I guess. Once

53:19

the sun started to set, I mean, when do you

53:21

leave? I announce

53:23

my departure and the guy

53:25

begged me to stay. He texted me later that

53:27

night asking me to meet him and his friends

53:30

out downtown. And I declined. He also texted a

53:32

couple of days later asking me if I had

53:34

plans. I never responded. My friends and I have

53:36

a couple theories about this encounter that I'm curious

53:39

to know your thoughts on. One, he's

53:41

been catfished and wanted a low stakes meeting so

53:43

that if I was catfishing him he wasn't stuck on

53:46

a date with me. No. No.

53:48

This is an over talked about dating.

53:51

You listen to the show, you're married.

53:53

How did you get married having this level

53:55

of naivety? I can't. This

53:58

is an over talked about dating. thing the

54:00

catfish the pictures I can't I gotta see

54:02

a thousand pictures before I can go out

54:04

it's like no no no no everyone looks

54:06

kind of sort of what they look like

54:08

on the app what is he worth it

54:11

in government right go go on the fucking

54:13

date yeah this is I just hate

54:15

that idea okay to he

54:17

and his dirty dancing partner wanted a threesome but

54:19

we're too fucked up to remember that you both

54:21

have to chat up your potential third thanks for

54:23

all you do not a catfish just a bet

54:25

both of those theories are not correct this

54:27

guy is just a complete fucking douche

54:30

bag yeah and he's just texting anyone

54:32

that will let you think you're the

54:34

only two girls that he texted to

54:36

come to his pool party didn't you

54:39

see all the goodie bags he cast a very

54:41

wide net you saw who would show up

54:43

and he's completely fucking around he's not thinking

54:46

about you he's not thinking about this other

54:48

girl he's not thinking about anyone he's just

54:50

completely fucking around with no regard for anyone

54:52

but himself some men are more penis

54:54

than brain that's that's this guy's like

54:56

90 10 yeah this is a

54:59

lot of penis on the brain socially unacceptable

55:01

to act this way after college yeah it's

55:03

pretty bad I even

55:05

in college even in I don't know that

55:07

this is just here's the thing this is

55:10

the relatability part is that she's like her

55:13

and her friends got together and the only thing they could

55:15

think of is like the most extreme outcome oh he needed

55:17

all the pictures in the world or he's looking to have

55:19

a threesome with his it's more this

55:22

guy likes vague options he

55:24

likes women who respond he will invite

55:27

women who respond out on nights that

55:29

are convenient for him these scenarios as

55:31

much as it doesn't seem convenient for

55:33

him he made it he

55:35

found a way to like click in his brain that

55:38

these are convenient yeah and he was like oh I'll

55:40

just it's a little awkward with this other woman that's

55:42

like kind of licking her lips at me that

55:45

prude over there won't come over so I'll just do

55:47

dirty dancing with the one that's like I'll text the

55:50

other one after right it makes

55:52

me like annoyed that there's men out there like this yeah

55:55

I mean it's tough for me to talk about

55:58

dating as a man in this You

56:00

know, because like, again, I'm

56:02

answering for him and

56:04

probably locks it. It just goes through,

56:06

it just shows so little respect for like

56:09

anyone else. Right. And also,

56:11

you know, again, to like the the

56:13

2024 of it all is like the

56:15

ease of interaction. Right. Like

56:18

she's kind of going, well, I don't

56:20

know, he's texting. It's like, we need

56:23

like another phone for texting with people

56:25

you don't care about. Right. I guess that's

56:27

Snapchat or used to be. Well,

56:30

that's yeah, I mean, that's the thing about this.

56:32

I mean, she's married now. It doesn't matter. But

56:34

like, this is how you become a

56:37

better dater. You think you write this email

56:39

thinking that it has that there's some sort

56:41

of possibility that doesn't make this guy complete

56:43

piece of shit. And we just tell you

56:45

next time you see someone who asks you

56:47

for a picture before the date and doesn't

56:49

answer you, that is not someone who's

56:51

worth your time. I have never needed

56:54

an extra picture to go

56:56

on a date. Well, you've

56:58

also never been a complete asshole. Well,

57:00

but I'm just saying if I'm the average

57:02

guy, if I'm proclaiming to be, I'm

57:05

just saying there's nothing been there's

57:08

nothing been there's

57:12

nothing that came from a good place of

57:14

me asking for an extra picture. Right. So

57:18

yeah, so I mean, trust that

57:20

sentiment. It wasn't to show your mom.

57:22

Right. Let's do another. All right. Are we

57:24

dating? So this is our game. You

57:27

tell us your scenario. We'll tell you if you're

57:29

dating or not. Right. This is how sad the

57:31

outlook has gotten. I mean, there's, you know, all

57:33

right. Hi, J and J. I feel like

57:35

you'll love this one. We've known each other for

57:37

20 years. We went to college together. We've been

57:39

on vacation together. I have a key to his

57:42

apartment. When we're together, it's like we're in a

57:44

full on relationship, holding hands, cuddling, fancy dinners, crazy

57:46

amounts of sex. When we went on

57:48

vacation, he carries my bags. He pays for most of

57:50

it. When we're apart, it's like we don't exist in

57:52

the same world. Oh, boy. We see

57:54

each other maybe twice a month. Communication is

57:56

quite limited except for comparing schedules. This isn't

57:58

the first time. we've been in this dynamic.

58:01

This has been going on for a year and the last time

58:03

we did this it lasted about a year before I ended up

58:05

in a relationship with someone else because we never advanced.

58:08

What are we? Paper girlfriend.

58:10

What would call this a situation ship? I

58:13

would call it a situation ship as well. I mean,

58:16

she called herself paper girlfriend. Yeah, you're

58:19

a rental hug. You know, like this is, and

58:22

she gave the years so

58:25

it gives away an age of a certain kind.

58:27

Like they went to college together and they've known

58:29

each other 20 years. So they're around my, you

58:32

know, I'm closer to their age than you are.

58:35

And I do, this is kind of like, there's

58:38

an age bracket where these things. People are

58:40

still doing this in their late 30s, you think? Oh,

58:43

I think this happens more. Really? I

58:45

think this is a late stage,

58:47

singledom, post divorce thing

58:50

that happens more than, I

58:52

think when it happens in your 20s you

58:55

have your friends that are like, stop it, dump

58:57

him. You know, like I think when it happens

58:59

in your 20s, like this guy that

59:01

like treats you like a boyfriend and he's not

59:03

your boyfriend. It's right. Text you

59:05

all the time. You're

59:08

more angry about it. Right, yeah. I think

59:10

there's like a 30s, 40s, 50s. I've

59:14

met, I know someone in a

59:16

situation like this. Very similar. Okay. And

59:19

you're saying they're not as upset about it? They're

59:22

into it? There's a complacency to it. There's a, I

59:25

don't really, I don't

59:27

mean to sound sad about it because,

59:29

well, there's a, I'm fine on

59:31

my own. Okay. But

59:34

I do have these human carnal needs

59:36

of a hug, of,

59:38

you know, interactions with

59:40

an adult, of human, I need

59:44

physicality, I need love, but

59:46

I don't wanna commit to love. I

59:49

don't wanna, with this person,

59:51

or maybe in general forever, I have

59:53

this like aversion to sharing

59:56

my life and making compromise.

59:59

So I... I'm gonna kind of make

1:00:02

this person work for me.

1:00:06

Like I said. And they haven't said anything to

1:00:08

say that they're unhappy with the situation so

1:00:10

it must be working for them too. Right, must fit

1:00:12

in their life in the way it's fitting in mine.

1:00:15

And she said the last time they did this, she

1:00:17

got into a relationship, that's how it ended. Now she's

1:00:19

out of the relationship, she's back to using the key

1:00:21

to his apartment again. So he's like, I guess

1:00:24

she's down for this thing. Yeah, something, I

1:00:26

guess it's not sad if she's fine with it.

1:00:30

She's fine with it that she's riding on. Right, just

1:00:32

wondering if they're dating. Right, they're not dating. Yeah, you're

1:00:35

not dating. I don't know what to

1:00:37

call this. I call this a situation, Chip. Yeah,

1:00:39

I'm trying to think of what he would say about

1:00:41

you. I think he would say that, like this is

1:00:43

like. Yeah, like if I asked. Right. Like

1:00:46

what would you, how would you describe it? She's the key

1:00:48

to my, she's the key to your apartment. I mean, he

1:00:50

holds, you go on vacation together. It's

1:00:53

more partner. Like if someone was like my

1:00:55

partner, I would think of them as that.

1:00:57

But not your girlfriend. Not your girlfriend. Like

1:00:59

this is like, you know, this is like my,

1:01:01

you know. This is like your mistress,

1:01:03

but you're not like married. Right.

1:01:06

Kinda. It's like, yeah, it's

1:01:09

like, it just like rings of the couple that

1:01:11

wears rings but never got married. Like

1:01:13

a spouse died. But there's periods

1:01:15

of time when they don't even talk. Right,

1:01:18

because it's when it's convenient for him. She

1:01:21

is like, to me, she's like a drink. Like

1:01:28

a martini. He wants it when he wants it. Right, I

1:01:30

have a martini and I feel bad. I

1:01:33

hope that doesn't sound mean. But here's

1:01:35

the difference between why I don't think this

1:01:37

works as well for women is like, I

1:01:39

just don't think that there's that many women

1:01:41

who could like sleep with someone consistently, act

1:01:45

like they're in a relationship and not wanna

1:01:47

be in a relationship. It's

1:01:49

possible she's out there somewhere. Well,

1:01:51

I've had family who have been

1:01:53

in this situation before, later

1:01:56

in life, it's a companion. I

1:01:58

would call them companions. I

1:02:00

would say that this is more companionship

1:02:02

and again she's writing in so I'm

1:02:04

with you I assume she doesn't want

1:02:06

this she's asking what they are. I

1:02:09

think she needs to Say

1:02:12

that like say something right like you want

1:02:14

to give it by a real relationship right

1:02:16

because he on the other side of this

1:02:19

Is like that's my companion. I think that's what he would say That

1:02:23

sounds bad I but I'm like this is cuz

1:02:25

I that's my companion who I have sex

1:02:28

with That's my companion

1:02:30

that I mean I guess sex with is part of

1:02:32

the deal like I mean a companion is another word

1:02:34

for friend So right, but

1:02:36

I would say or dog. I guess this would

1:02:38

be friends with benefits Is

1:02:41

the way I would describe it cuz like she's she's putting a

1:02:43

lot of I don't you think it's a situation ship Well,

1:02:45

she's putting a lot of weight in

1:02:47

the holding hands cuddling fancy dinners She

1:02:51

says sex, but also carrying my bags,

1:02:54

right? You know like doesn't matter. Yeah, I think he

1:02:56

gives a fuck about that like

1:02:58

I Sorry Sorry

1:03:00

to sound so flippin I'm just saying like she

1:03:03

needs to come to the reality that like

1:03:05

when he does these things he is up

1:03:07

for doing these things he doesn't

1:03:10

want or he not acknowledging that

1:03:12

he doesn't want a Relationship

1:03:16

where he's responsible for someone

1:03:18

and if that's what you want tell him So

1:03:21

sorry you are not Well

1:03:24

you have to give up when she said here's the

1:03:26

part here's the part that I know what

1:03:28

she's doing Okay, he's trustworthy in

1:03:30

a certain way She

1:03:33

says crazy amounts of sex like this happens to a lot

1:03:35

of people. Well, I trust

1:03:37

him He's a nice person the dinners

1:03:39

are fun. Notice this college. It's

1:03:41

easy. It's comfy cozy and she's going and

1:03:45

The alternative is a ghost The

1:03:47

alternative is you'll never

1:03:50

meet those they'll never meet someone who's a

1:03:52

better alternative if you're still in this situation Right,

1:03:54

it's you know, do you want to be half

1:03:56

happy or do you want to be fully miserable

1:03:59

or totally happy? Yes You know only miserable before

1:04:01

you can be totally happy in this kind of

1:04:03

situation or you could just be like Mediocrely,

1:04:06

okay. Listen, this is like a business, you

1:04:08

know, like the business is going well I

1:04:11

know the business can't last forever But

1:04:14

it'll always hum along where I'm making this much

1:04:16

a year and I know that yeah, I

1:04:19

gotta change the business Well, yeah, that's like

1:04:21

that's exactly it's like why people are scared

1:04:23

to break up with people, right? This

1:04:26

is like the devil I know this is um, yeah

1:04:29

No, I feel for her cuz this is a tough

1:04:31

situation like you're not dating you're not out. I Wish

1:04:36

we had one of those like, you know,

1:04:38

like like a big stamp Yeah,

1:04:43

do you have any If

1:04:45

she said something do you think there's a chance that he dates

1:04:47

her? Yes, but she's gonna

1:04:50

have to be miserable first I think like and

1:04:52

I don't want to get false hope you have

1:04:54

to end it Okay, you have to be very

1:04:56

specific with what you want in a relationship, right?

1:04:59

And you have to say, you know put those

1:05:01

on the fence, right? That's the only way it could happen

1:05:03

You can only enter the property with

1:05:06

these things, you know boyfriend or fuck boyfriend or

1:05:08

fuck off Here is a perfect

1:05:10

example. She's not I think she's probably had this

1:05:12

conversation with him kind of like if I'm to

1:05:14

assume Yeah, but not explicitly She's

1:05:17

not beat yet. She's not being specific

1:05:19

enough with what she expects from

1:05:21

a boyfriend because He's

1:05:25

leaning on he holds my bags Like

1:05:29

you don't want that my boyfriend texts me

1:05:31

every day and we like our We're

1:05:33

moving in we've discussed moving in. Yeah, like

1:05:36

I don't have a key to his home.

no matter what stage you're in

1:07:09

at shopify.com/Betches. Let's

1:07:13

do it. Red

1:07:15

flag her deal, unless she is, but

1:07:18

she's writing in, so I can't even assume she's

1:07:20

not. He's not writing in,

1:07:22

are we dating? But

1:07:25

I like that. He can write into our new segment.

1:07:27

Do I have the best situation ever? Here's the thing.

1:07:30

I think the chance of a relationship is

1:07:32

probably 5% to 10%. Flim

1:07:35

and none. But there's

1:07:37

a 0% if she just keeps going. There's

1:07:40

a 5% to 10% chance if she lays

1:07:42

down the law and then doesn't

1:07:47

put up with it. You're absolutely right. I totally

1:07:49

agree. No, flam either way, but more of

1:07:51

a chance if she leaves. Okay. Let's

1:07:53

play some games. Let's do it. Red

1:07:55

flag her deal breaker. They use their grandmother's death as a

1:07:57

good opportunity to introduce you to their family. Hey,

1:08:01

so this actually happened to me. It was neither

1:08:03

a red flag nor a deal breaker for me

1:08:05

as I'm still with my boyfriend, seven years, a

1:08:07

house and two kids later. But

1:08:10

everyone else thinks it's a red flag. Not

1:08:12

married. I'm sorry. Interesting,

1:08:15

I didn't even notice that. I was. You

1:08:18

did call him her boyfriend. We

1:08:21

had been dating for about three months and his grandmother

1:08:23

passed away. Maybe the grandmother got buried

1:08:25

with the ring. That's

1:08:30

why. We had

1:08:32

been dating for about three months and his grandmother

1:08:34

passed away. He thought this was a good time

1:08:36

to introduce me to his family. Isn't it weird

1:08:39

that he basically said, hey, my grandma just died.

1:08:41

Come meet my family. I was into him so

1:08:43

I didn't think it was weird. What are your

1:08:46

thoughts? Red flag or deal breaker? What do you

1:08:48

think? I think it's fine. I think it's fine.

1:08:50

I'll meet the family however you want to serve

1:08:52

them. I'll meet them at a shivvah. By

1:08:55

hook or by crook. Whatever that saying is. Any which

1:08:57

way. Yeah. I'm going

1:08:59

to you. I don't care. It is a

1:09:01

timing thing. Grandma's dead? Fine. I'm

1:09:04

bringing some flowers. Right. I've

1:09:07

probably met significant other in

1:09:09

similar ways where it's like, hey, there's this awkward thing going

1:09:12

on. It's a time when you're going home. Right.

1:09:15

You want to come with me. Well, I

1:09:17

mean, there's another way to look at this,

1:09:19

which is like, it's basically like

1:09:21

beware of deaths, beware of vacations

1:09:23

and all the holidays, like I've

1:09:25

said before. This is a

1:09:28

version of you got a good version, right?

1:09:30

Like if my grandmother passed, I am now.

1:09:33

Fuck. I got to. I

1:09:35

got to. Like if I was six months in

1:09:38

with a woman, she hadn't met my family yet.

1:09:40

My grandmother passed. My first

1:09:42

thought isn't going to be how sad about my grandmother. My

1:09:44

first thought would be like, fuck, I'm going to handle this

1:09:46

chick. You got to invite me. I got to invite her.

1:09:48

Now we're more serious than we were the day before. Three

1:09:51

months we're dating seriously. Your grandma dies. I

1:09:53

better get the invite. Right. I'm

1:09:56

just thinking about what annoyed I'd be. I'd

1:09:58

be like, Nana. You couldn't

1:10:00

have died three months ago! I feel like... Like,

1:10:04

what am I gonna wear? Nana

1:10:06

never gave me any birthday gifts. Right,

1:10:09

what am I gonna wear? There is a...

1:10:12

It is crazy that both minds... Also, my

1:10:14

grandma dies. I invite you. Now

1:10:16

I get to see if you're coming. Hey, uh, can't

1:10:19

make it. Yeah, you

1:10:21

get it. Good test. I

1:10:23

only date people with no grandparents. Hey,

1:10:27

nice to meet you. Are your grandparents

1:10:29

dead? Your grandparents are still alive. Fuck

1:10:31

off. Okay. No, they're... Or they're good.

1:10:35

They're deaf. You know. Brings

1:10:37

you a gift. What are you

1:10:39

saying? To know where you stand in the relationship. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:10:42

So if you have a sick grandma, it's

1:10:44

probably a good time to start dating people. Yeah. You

1:10:47

know? Good way to test them. I like it. Yeah. So...

1:10:52

Hide your grandma's diabetes meds. Right. Right

1:10:54

as you start to get serious. Right.

1:10:56

You got questions? All

1:11:00

right. They wear multiple fitness devices. I

1:11:02

was listening to this week's podcast and heard

1:11:04

your ad for whoop. Whoop whoop. And

1:11:07

it made me think of this moment with my ex. This was

1:11:09

a few years ago. I, female, was in my

1:11:11

late 20s dating a finance pro in his late 30s. I

1:11:14

had never heard of whoop and had asked him what bracelet he was

1:11:16

wearing. The whoop itself was totally fine. However,

1:11:19

he also wore an Apple watch. I

1:11:21

asked him why he wore both every day. And he said that

1:11:23

whoop is better for tracking some things, but he

1:11:25

likes having the interface of the Apple watch. I thought this was really

1:11:28

weird and was a red flag, but I had to share and can't

1:11:30

wait to hear what you think about this. So

1:11:33

red flag or jill breaker, they consistently wear a whoop and

1:11:35

an Apple watch. Maybe he

1:11:37

should end an aura ring into the mix. It's

1:11:39

funny she brings up the aura ring. I could

1:11:41

see this happening. Mike does this. Oh, really? Apple

1:11:43

watch and aura ring? Yeah. And

1:11:46

whoop. Not an aura ring that the Apple watch and the

1:11:48

whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.

1:11:52

He does the Apple watch and the whoop. Is it whoop or

1:11:54

whoop? Whoop. Whoop. Whoop.

1:11:57

We should know this. Who reads the ads here? Whoop.

1:12:00

Whoop whoop yeah, yeah, I've I'm

1:12:02

like obsessed with fitness trackers. I've done them all I'm

1:12:05

a big Apple watch user Yeah, I

1:12:07

didn't receive my whoop Someone

1:12:12

Go in the office. I guess you

1:12:14

could wear it no Wearing both

1:12:17

to me it makes more sense the oral ring and the

1:12:19

Apple watch but I can understand his explanation makes Yeah,

1:12:23

and and if it's in the white if it's a

1:12:25

red flag cuz it's like weird I think

1:12:28

the finance bro is like kind of

1:12:30

weighing. I think it'd be a very

1:12:32

tracking things, right Mostly

1:12:35

tracking the stock market. Maybe that works out for

1:12:37

you. Right? Maybe you'll have your jet, right? I

1:12:40

think it's fine. I guess like I clearly

1:12:42

think it's fine. Right? And does it okay?

1:12:44

Let's do one more All right. They turn

1:12:46

your last name into a nickname after two

1:12:48

dates I read this one and I

1:12:50

said to myself This is

1:12:53

why the podcast exists. This is like

1:12:55

a perfect flag red flag or deal

1:12:57

breaker Love the pod. I

1:12:59

have a red flag deal breaker for you

1:13:01

after a second date. The guy texted me

1:13:03

Good morning. My last name plus why so

1:13:06

good morning free D or good

1:13:08

morning Abraham He doesn't really ring

1:13:11

1:13:13

you Abe's. Yeah, honest Abe

1:13:15

Abe's Babe

1:13:18

a lot if I was dating you there would

1:13:20

be a babe element babe Abraham

1:13:23

Lincoln. Oh, there we go, right?

1:13:26

My reaction is that his nickname felt

1:13:28

visceral and I was so icked out

1:13:31

This wasn't a nickname used or talked about

1:13:33

during our date So it was completely out

1:13:35

of the blue you guys always talk about

1:13:37

the importance of context and there was none

1:13:40

I always I was already on the fence about

1:13:42

him So I called it a deal breaker curious

1:13:44

to hear your take love call me by my

1:13:46

1:14:28

1:14:30

different. Yeah, if you walk in the day. What's up, Freety

1:14:33

like it would have to be like a

1:14:35

little clever I think right You

1:14:37

know I get sometimes so like

1:14:42

Some women do the move where they'll call me Jay

1:14:46

They go into Jay very quickly With

1:14:51

men too yeah, this is uh, but

1:15:33

okay with it more than okay with it

1:15:42

know No, I know

1:15:44

now Like

1:15:46

if they do this thing which is like could be cute,

1:15:49

but I don't think it's cute It means I don't like you.

1:15:51

I don't like your nickname. I don't like you Hi,

1:15:54

that's fair. I I just think it's so funny the guy

1:15:56

is on the other side. He's like he's

1:15:58

so comfortable with her Right that he's

1:16:01

given her this nickname, and then she's like I

1:16:03

can't make it. Oh God You

1:16:06

would have been out anyway this just makes her out

1:16:08

sooner So go on with the nicknames if

1:16:10

hear him talk more than you will fire Yeah,
