Host 1
We live in such a state where with AI and different things, people look like someone. Looking can be like, oh, that's how a normal person's supposed to look. And it's like, girl, that's AI, honey.
Host 2
I keep seeing this AI app though. It's like you can upload one photo of yourself and it does a full quote unquote photo shoot where it changes your hair, it changes your makeup, it changes your outfit, it changes your poses. All this stuff. I'm like, well, damn, I have to get ready. Give me a whole day back.
Host 1
Exactly. Hey guys.
Host 2
Hey guys.
Host 1
We're talking all things as always, life.
Host 2
This is what we're doing. We're shooting the. For us, it's a Monday. I think we're both feeling a little. Feeling the funk a little. Today we're going to try to get out of it.
Host 1
But you know, I, right or wrong, I am a like full empath. And just when there's heaviness in the world and everybody knows if you're living in the world, there's a lot of heaviness and stuff going on.
Host 2
Wet blanket.
Host 1
It's really hard to. For me to like shake it off, especially when I can't shake anything because my neck. Chronic neck pain and trauma. Yeah. Ow, ow, ow. Every shake. So anyways, that's where we are.
Host 2
But also there's a tornado happening outside right now.
Host 1
Literally all the wind. I was like, wow, watch out, the storms are brewing.
Host 2
No, I was literally standing in the shower yesterday and I was thinking about like all the things because I'm very excited. The my beverage line is, I think launching in February. I know I keep saying this, this is just business. Like shit takes longer than it's supposed to. But I have two things that are going to actually launch at the same time, in February, I think that I'm very excited about. And I. I truly am passionate about helping people and doing. Wanting to do something positive and leaving a positive mark. And I had this moment in the shower as I was standing there, and I was like, does it. Who the fuck cares if I put out a good beverage? Like, does that really make a difference in the world?
Host 1
Oh, no.
Host 2
Like, I was. I got dark real fast, and I was like, okay, yes. Like, we want to. Like, we're doing. We're being entrepreneurial. We want to put out something really good. I'm very excited about it. Very excited about the other thing that I'm doing. But it was just one of those moments, like, because the world is heavy, and you're just like, does it matter?
Host 1
Yeah. Yeah.
Host 2
Like, what matters?
Host 1
And then you realize nothing.
Host 2
Nothing matters. And I was like, oh, I'm gonna go. I don't even know what time of day it was. Workout or something, which really does help.
Host 1
I know it's a cliche and we're not a fitness podcast, even though a lot of people follow us because. Exactly. But, oh, my God, just getting a workout in that really might be what has been a lifeline to me in the past week. It just feels so good to. For 30 minutes or an hour or a bitch if you got the time and want to get in that gym for, like, three and a half hours. I don't care.
Host 2
Miss those days.
Host 1
Exactly. And just focus on the moment and what you're doing to strengthen yourself. And it's like, oh, God, that's what I needed.
Host 2
Listen, I say good day, bad day, work it out. Because, you know, right now might not be the zombie apocalypse. You have to fight. You might need to be strong enough to fight some other.
Host 1
Exactly.
Host 2
The resistance. I don't know. We might keep getting there. I was in Pilates today, and I love my Pilates teacher, because honeybedder don't give a man. She is making me do the hardest things, and she. Now she's making me do it all very safely. And it's to mobilize my spine more and it's to get more extension because I'm pretty rounded in my shoulders, which pisses me off because I used to have such great posture as a dancer. But anyways, I think about.
Host 1
You've talked about how you saw yourself sitting in the bathtub that one time.
Host 2
And I was just like, okay, hunchback. My God, that was. That was. Yes. But she had me doing this thing on the Cadillac today, like, hanging upside down. But you have to start, like, you bend forward, flip your grip, grab it, and then you have to tuck your knees into your chest and pull yourself up into a ball and flip. And. Which. It's hard. And your program.
Host 1
Sutra. Yeah. Wow.
Host 2
Use that later, skills. But I was like, you never know, man. Might need this. I better get flexible. Better get limber.
Host 1
That's right.
Host 2
Felt like I was doing some real trick. Like. It was good, though.
Host 1
I want us to film it because it will be comical and we should have it to look back on. I want you to, like, I want to come. I've never done a reformer or any Pilates class like that. I want you to put me through hell. That's what I need.
Host 2
I'm ready. Listen, we will, man. She filmed me today and she airdropped them to me, and I left too soon. And so I don't have the videos. I'm gonna have to message her. But, yes, we will. And your hamstrings are actually gonna be the death of me.
Host 1
Oh, really?
Host 2
Well, yeah, because your hamstrings are tight. Like, I'm gonna have to really work to modify things. No, it's good. It'll challenge me.
Host 1
Yeah, I like that.
Host 2
I've never done, like, as an instructor.
Host 1
I like having to find accessibility for.
Host 2
For everybody. Yeah. Like. Because I can obviously explain it for, like, this is how it's supposed to be if you've got perfect form.
Host 1
But I'm picturing at the end of one of our hustle hard workouts when we were like, put our legs out anytime at the end of a program, I'm like, okay, here's my stretch. You know, you gotta give it what you got. That's all you got.
Host 2
That's all you got. You give it what you have. I love it.
Host 1
Well, in happ news, I had so much fun last night.
Host 2
Oh, my gosh.
Host 1
So last night when? Right now, while we're recording this. Last night was the Golden Globes.
Host 2
Yes.
Host 1
I always get all the award shows. I'm like, I don't know. The Oscars, the Emmys. The what?
Host 2
All I know is those award shows are really messing up my ability to get a manicure, and I'm not happy about it.
Host 1
Yeah, I bet.
Host 2
No, literally, they're like. It's a word. I was like, I'm here every two weeks. Damn it.
Host 1
That's right.
Host 2
I care about these that come in twice.
Host 1
Where's the fucking loyalty? Hello.
Host 2
These claws are out of control.
Host 1
On. On Schitt's Creek, when they asked Moira what's your favorite season. She said awards. Not if you want to get your nails done. Seriously, what's your favorite part of an award show like that? Is it.
Host 2
Oh, it's the red carpet, of course.
Host 1
The dresses. It's the.
Host 2
And I really. Nikki Glacier was Glacier or Glacier.
Host 1
I actually don't know. I think Glazer. Yeah.
Host 2
She was a phenomenal.
Host 1
So good.
Host 2
Hilarious. And I. She had such. I mean, awesome dresses. There was not one dress that she put on that I was like, oh. So, yeah, I'm there for the fashion.
Host 1
She looked amazing.
Host 2
She looked amazing.
Host 1
She looked so stunning. I'm really happy for. For her and how her career has gone because she started very raunchy, like, her stand up.
Host 2
Well, then we're on the right track.
Host 1
Exactly. And I just love that she did so good hosting.
Host 2
She really did. I thought she did a great job.
Host 1
But other than that, what about you? Mine is fashion.
Host 2
Okay.
Host 1
And I really love. Right. I feel like 15, 20 years ago, all the dresses looked really cool, but all. All the guys kind of look the same. They might have a. All black or a classic tux.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
I feel like with the cut of the suits, like Kevin Hart's.
Host 2
I loved his suit.
Host 1
Amazing.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
And also the guy, uh. Is it Seth Rogen? Seth Rogen. The.
Host 2
He's in the one who won twice. Yes, yes.
Host 1
He. His tux was very interesting and different. And so I'm really loving how also men's fashion is still, like, clean and slick and tux, but they're like the. They just are.
Host 2
They're being different creative with it.
Host 1
Yeah, I love it.
Host 2
Like, with. I don't know. Is that like your lapel?
Host 1
I was like, what is this thing called? Whatever that front part of the tuxedos.
Host 2
But I like that it wasn't all just black. Black tie, like, bow tie done like that. There was even the. The kid who won. The teen kid who won the gray, like, his outfit. I was like, that was cool for him. Like.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Younger.
Host 1
Yeah. So I loved it. And I also. Because Nell and I have the. The. It's like, what's the theater?
Host 2
AMC.
Host 1
AMC Pass. Where you pay, like, $25 a month and you can see four movies a week. So we've actually seen a lot of those movies. But, girl, you were a little lost.
Host 2
I was. First of all, I was so lost. I was like, okay. I. Movies and then the TV shows too. And I feel like not that I watch, like, a lot of tv. The diplomat was nominated. Didn't win Paradise. Have you watched paradise yet? It's so good.
Host 1
I haven't watched it.
Host 2
What's it about? So good. The end of the world.
Host 1
Okay, great. Exactly what I mean, exactly what's on my bingo card.
Host 2
So I'll give you just a quick massive, catastrophic around the world events like.
Host 1
Like natural disasters.
Host 2
Natural disasters happen. They knew it was coming. They built an underground city basically to keep man alive. And so really, like, you know that that happened. And then it's all about this underground city and the president and his secret service agent protecting him. And then some things happen and I'm.
Host 1
Gonna check it out. I love those kinds of shows. So good.
Host 2
And so the main guy was nominated and I'm gonna forget his name right now. He didn't win either though. But I like, I can't wait for season two of that because it's good.
Host 1
Have you ever watched.
Host 2
And that's about the extent of what I know of, like the show's nominated. Podcasts were nominated or podcasts were a thing.
Host 1
Now I know, girl.
Host 2
New goal next year. Golden Globe.
Host 1
Let's win a Golden Globe.
Host 2
We need a Netflix show or Hulu plus, whatevs. We're open to talks and we need a Golden Globe.
Host 1
I'm here for it. That's.
Host 2
How raunchy do I have to be?
Host 1
I don't know. But I'm sure you're up to the challenge. Knowing you the way I know you, girl. We got this in the bag. It.
Host 2
By the way. We got a funny phone, a friend. Oh, it's good. We'll save it for the end so you can listen to the podcast and then if you need to wait until after work or something. But yeah, it's actually a good one.
Host 1
Oh, good. I'm excited to hear it. Have you ever seen the show talking about paradise? Have you ever seen this show, Silo?
Host 2
No, but I. I think it's similar.
Host 1
It sounds similar and you should watch it. I really liked it.
Host 2
I do. I need to watch that one.
Host 1
It's on. I think it's on Apple tv.

Host 2
So speaking of movies, the other night I put on an old school one. I still think that as like kids and teens, we had the best genre of movies. Because I feel like nowadays there's a reason I don't know what all these movies are. I'm like, what the fuck are we? It's. Everything's AI. I feel like. It's like. I feel like every movie is a superhero movie.
Host 1
Yeah. Which I love a superhero movie. But there are a lot of them. Felt like when we were kids, you got like one good one a year. One good Batman or one good.
Host 2
Yeah. Like there wasn't so many superheroes. But also I just feel like when movies released, like there were good movies, like you were excited to see it. Now I don't. I couldn't like half those movies. I was like, never heard of them. I've never seen an advertisement. I've never seen a billboard. No. Anyways.
Host 1
Well, I don't know if movies have gotten crazier or if I just. It's because I take edibles before I go to the movies. But I've seen some of those movies that are out and I'm like, wow, this is a wild ride. This is taking me places. It's really. Some of the movies are really good. But. But so the other night I put.
Host 2
On Sister Act 2 for me and Dom because Dom's never seen either one. And he's Dom super into music. He has been for like the last year. And I was like, dom, you're gonna love this movie. And I was telling it to him earlier in the day and he was like, what? Never heard of it? Like, what's it about? And so I'd like, here's what's interesting. I went to Spotify and I wanted to play him some of the songs from the soundtrack. It's not the kids singing in the movie though.
Host 1
I know.
Host 2
And I was like, I don't want this version.
Host 1
I'm gonna research that because I had back in like the day, the CD soundtrack of it. And it Was them.
Host 2
Oh, really?
Host 1
And I think it's a licensing issue, like. And so it's been pulled from streaming.
Host 2
Well, because it's there. It's just like you could hear the songs, but it's not the. It's not like.
Host 1
It's not like Lauren Hill singing. Yeah. Because the CD I had is so I know the recordings are out there.
Host 2
So I was saying to Dom, we were doing something in his classroom and I was like, if you want to be somebody, if you want to go. And he's like, what are you singing? And so I went to play it for him and like I said it. It was like, you could play a different version anyway. So I was like, we have to watch the movie. He was a little hesitant. Put it on for him. He was obsessed. He's like, it's so good. And then when the one. When the one kid hits the high note, he was like, damn. He's like, what was that? I was like, right. So he loved it. And I was like, you know, they just feel good in these times when it's so heavy and dark.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Sometimes you just.
Host 1
There really was something about like movies. I think that movie came out in 92 or 93.
Host 2
93. And I can tell you what it is, but go ahead.
Host 1
There's something about like this way the movie would tell a story that is. Is not the same.
Host 2
Now I'm gonna tell you what it is.
Host 1
What is it?
Host 2
It's the Underdog. Think about some of your most favorite movies from the 80s and 90s. Yeah, it's the Underdog.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
They were the underdogs.
Host 1
Right.
Host 2
Their school was supposed to be shutting down. They were the kids living in the projects. Dirty Dancing. She's the quote unquote underdog. He's the underdog. They're the ones that are supposed to. They're. They're not the ones that.
Host 1
She's all that. Do you remember that? She's Movie total like nerdy girl. Yeah.
Host 2
Rocky. The ultimate underdog.
Host 1
Yep.
Host 2
You want to cheer for the underdog? You want to cheer for the person that's got the come up story.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Pretty in pink, 16 candles. What?
Host 1
I don't think I've seen either of those.
Host 2
Wow. Okay.
Host 1
Realize it was. I know what I'm doing later.
Host 2
I know what we're doing. Stop the recording because we have to go watch them. You've never seen Pretty in Pink or Sixteen Candles? These are like cult classics. Have you seen Breakfast Club?
Host 1
Yes.
Host 2
Okay.
Host 1
Every time someone says Breakfast Club, I always picture the scene with the Dandruff it like makes my skin crawl. But yes, I love that movie. I like. Okay, so Nell is not. He didn't watch movies like that when he was little and he was born in 92, I think. So I've been taking him and showing him some movies. Like I had him watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Host 2
Come on. So good.
Host 1
Exactly. And the other night he and I watched Adventures in Babysitting All Time Fave. It was so good. I probably haven't seen it in 20 years. But I was like, you gotta watch this one, it's good. And I remember thinking, it's so good. And just like watching it again, I was like, wow, this is really good.
Host 2
Well, he walked up to me and he asked me if I wanted to dance. Yeah, he looked kind of. Oh, I could do the whole thing for you. Yeah, she's got the baby sitting blues. Baby, baby.
Host 1
I literally. You know what's so fun when you go when you like watch something you haven't seen in a long time and you forgot things that you remember. So like, you see it and you're like, oh yeah, that happened to me in so many scenes. And her on stage singing the babysitting blues. I was like, oh my God, I totally forgot about this scene. Or like, you know, it's funny, I'm worried about giving spoilers from a movie that came out in 87. Yeah, you should definitely watch it. Highly recommend. But like, it was so good. And also I wonder if the scores were like the music from them so good was. And I love music now, but it still just has a different feel. The way it was used in movies.
Host 2
Then because they were like soundtracks that you listen to. Like they became top hits on the radio. Like Top Gun. Yeah, like the.

Yeah, I think it is table.
Host 2
It is table tennis. I just think it is ping pong. Table tennis. I don't know. Are they the same thing? Right?
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Okay.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
You said that with such confidence. And I know you don't actually know this.
Host 1
No, it is the same. I'm sure. I just. I always think when someone says table tennis, it's like. Okay, it's like pocket bowl. Yeah. Like, call it what it is. And usually you're not a tennis player, but it's a very good movie.
Host 2
Okay.
Host 1
Anyway.
Host 2
Okay, I'm gonna watch those three. You have your five.
Host 1
I'm on it.
Host 2
I can't wait. Which one are you gonna watch first? Girls Just Want to have Fun.
Host 1
Okay. Girls Just Want to have Fun.
Host 2
Absolutely.
Host 1
Well, is that. Was the song written for that movie?
Host 2
I think so, yeah.
Host 1
I love it.
Host 2
The number at the end.
Host 1
I mean, I like hyper fixate on things. That's probably why I didn't see a lot of movies, because I watched Sister Act 2 every day for, like, a month.
Host 2
Well, first, in the 90s, I watch Dirty Dancing every day for, like, many years. Along with Greece, along with Girls Just Want to have Fun.
Host 1
Like, you know, I never saw Dirty Dancing until I was, like, in my shoe. 20s, early 30s. No, I've seen it. I love it. It's so good.
Host 2
Oh, my God. I was, like, 7 years old.
Host 1
I was so sad to hear about the fact that they did not have a good.
Host 2
Oh, they didn't like each other. I know. They kind of ruined it when they did that. I was like, you don't have to tell us.
Host 1
I know. Just pretend.
Host 2
Yeah. Leave it alone.
Host 1
Let us live in the fantasy. So.
Host 2
But even in the movie, he didn't really like her at first.
Host 1
Right. So he just forgot to change. He's like, okay, your method acting is going a little too hard.
Host 2
You might want to.
Host 1
I already Unlike this, I can't.
Host 2
He's like, I already do. What do you want me to tell you? Which, by the way, they had already worked on another movie, Red Dawn. I don't know, something like that. And I think. I think maybe that was. Anyways, they had already worked on another movie and I feel like they. So they already had like a little history of maybe not already liking each other a little bit.
Host 1
It's like the modern day issue between Blake Lively and her co star in that movie. And they had all that drama and they're suing each other and sharing text. And it's like, you guys are just making us hate all of you and all of your movies also.
Host 2
This is taking. Just keep it to yourself. Yeah, yeah, Seriously. But I do love the 80s and 90s movies.
Host 1
Me too.
Host 2
I will tell you, when you watch Girls Just Want to have Fun, there's going to be some inconsistencies.
Host 1
Okay.
Host 2
One minute he's gonna be in a purple shirt and then it's gonna be red.
Host 1
Oh, I love that kind of stuff.
Host 2
One minute her hair is kind of poofy frizzy, and then it's tight ringlet curls and you're like, okay, but she was on a bus change.
Host 1
How did that happen? I love that. So, you know, you can see they're a really good. Honestly, like, they're such a good escape for me. And sometimes you need it just a little.
Host 2
I mean. Yeah. Talk about right now. Like, it's all you want to do a little bit.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Sometimes sit down, fall into someone else's story. Yeah, but we will not speaking of someone else's story. Scammers would stop calling me. Sorry, my phone was vibrating.
Host 1
Like, I don't have any money to give you. I don't know what you want.
Host 2
I don't know what you want for me. What? Speaking of stories. What?
Host 1
Speaking of someone else's story. Oh, let's get into the phone. A friend. You have me really interested in what that is, and I want to give some unprofessional advice.
Host 2
Okay, I'm gonna sum it up because it was like a little bit of a longer email, but so basically a female wrote into us and she said, okay, so basically she's been dating a guy. It says. I think it says four months.
Host 1
Okay.
Host 2
If your kids are in the car, you might want to wait to listen to this part till later. It's not horrible, but just understand like a little unsuitable fork. Anyways, she's on birth control and also they are using protection. She's like I don't really like, I'm kind of over the protection part because I know I'm on birth control. I'm not worried about getting pregnant. He still wants to keep using the condom. And she's questioning whether or not she's the only person he's with.
Host 1
Wow.
Host 2
She's like, do you guys think that they're like, maybe he's seeing multiple women and that's why he wants to keep using it? Because what guy wants to keep using it?
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
And I was like, oh, that's. That's a question. Oh God. We said give us the juicy. So apparent they did. They're here for it.
Host 1
Okay. There at first explained to me what's a condom. I'm just kidding. Never heard of it. I'm totally kidding. So sounds to me like he either he can't be trusted or he doesn't feel like he can trust her enough.
Host 2
Well, that's okay. So that was my thought is like there is. There's some conversations that clearly still need to be had. Like have you guys established that you are exclusive and you are together.
Host 1
Mm.
Host 2
And are like. And I'm not trying to like shame anybody, anything. But like are you talking about wanting kids a lot? Or some are indicating that like maybe. Maybe he's concerned that you're gonna pull the goalie.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
And try to get pregnant.
Host 1
Oh God.
Host 2
Which. It's so crazy. But.
Host 1
But some. Yeah.
Host 2
You know, things can happen. Or does he like. Do you have to have a deeper conversation? Does he have an STD that could be transmitted if he's not wearing it? Like, like if people have.

Host 2
Herpes. Like. I'm sorry, I'm just getting into it. But like if somebody has herpes, if they're having an outbreak, they can give it to you, but if they're not having an outbreak, they can't give it to you.
Host 1
Right. Well, that's what people used to say, but I actually don't think so.
Host 2
Maybe he has something that, like he's not sure if he's gonna have an out. I don't know.
Host 1
Well, that. That's really. Wow, this is a lot.
Host 2
Because it's like, why would he want to keep using. Yeah, the condom.
Host 1
Exactly. And I think that she just needs to ask that question. And his like he. And also people should. I think you should. You should always ask your partner what their. I don't know. I actually don't know their history. I'm a politically correct bitch and I don't know the political correct way to say this, but maybe like their sexual health or.
Host 2
Yes. Or like, is there anything I need to know about.
Host 1
Exactly. Because you can't just assume that someone will tell you and.
Host 2
No.
Host 1
You know, but I feel that it. That's. I feel like he might be sleeping with other people.
Host 2
You think the only the.
Host 1
I think there's two likely reasons. Or he doesn't trust that she isn't.
Host 2
My first thought would be he is worried that she is either not really on birth control or that she's going to stop taking the birth control.
Host 1
Yeah, well, that's trifling, but that could be. I feel like he probably does.
Host 2
You think he's got multiple partners and so he's being the quote, unquote, goodbye, good guy, keeping her safe.
Host 1
Yeah, I think he probably and for himself, if you have multiple partners, he pro. So because here's my thing. If you're worried about someone else doing something, sometimes it's because you do that thing.
Host 2
Right. That's true projection.
Host 1
If he's worried about getting something because she could be sleeping around, it's because he also knows he could get something if he's has multiple partners. Even if there are multiple regular.
Host 2
The way she made the email sound, it sounded like they were in an exclusive relationship. So that was why I was like, okay, then maybe he's not feeling secure in the.
Host 1
Have you ever been in an exclusive relationship that used like.
Host 2
Like they continue to use the condom?
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
No, because I was all like at the beginning. Of course. Until you fully establish, yeah, we're in this. But I was always on birth control also, so. So no, as Long as I felt like I was in a safe, yeah. Healthy, clean, committed relationship. No, you.
Host 1
This is real personal. You can plead the 5th or lie, whatever, or tell the TR. I think you're going to tell the truth. Have you ever, like, had a scare with someone? Well, have you ever been cheated on? Oh.
Host 2
Yes.
Host 1
Okay.
Host 2
More than once.
Host 1
Yeah. Because guys are dogs.
Host 2
Yes.
Host 1
So, yeah, I think that he. I. I'm worried that he is. He has multiple partners. Yeah. Or like he maybe has even just one other girl.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
That he's like. Oh, you're.
Host 2
Oh, man, I hate putting that out there because it's like.
Host 1
Well, what I would say to the. To the listener who sent this is you need to have a very, very direct conversation.
Host 2
Right. I need to know why you still want to continue to use it. Because I don't think anybody particularly enjoys.
Host 1
No. Unless you're a freak.
Host 2
Like, I don't think that feels the best for anybody.
Host 1
Absolutely not.
Host 2
So if the option is to not use it and still be safe, meaning, like, no pregnancy is going to occur and there's nothing that's going to get passed, then why would you. So I think he's. Either. My personal thing isn't necessary. I don't think I would go necessarily because I just maybe. I don't know. Sometimes I don't even think guys are that considerate. So I don't necessarily go right to the fact that he is sleeping with other people. Also, I go to the. He's either worried you're gonna try to get pregnant and, like, pull an oopsie on him, or you need to ask him his health history.
Host 1
I guess the pregnancy thing could be it. That's so far from my mind because. Well, because it's never been something I've.
Host 2
Been never having to worry about that one.
Host 1
Tell you girls, the best kind of birth control is anal. I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure it's like 100 guaranteed you won't get pregnant.
Host 2
Sorry. Oh, my God. But I do have a very funny story.
Host 1
Lay it on us.
Host 2
So, okay, there was a girl I was friends with. This was years ago, in my earlier 20s, and she was a doctor. And by no means did she say anybody's name or anything like that, but she was saying that there was a patient that she was working with that was trying to get pregnant and was struggling to get pregnant. And, you know, they were working through all the things and da, da, da, da. And like, okay, are you and your husband doing this? Okay. And you guys do this. And one day she just Happened to say to the woman, like, you are having vaginal sex. Right. And the girl was like, oh, no. My man only likes it in the book.
Host 1
Oh, my God.
Host 2
She was like, you can't get pregnant that way. And the girl was like, what?
Host 1
Okay. Our education system has failed us. That is so tragic. Oh, my God.
Host 2
Come on. That's kind of funny, though.
Host 1
It's. It's shocking.
Host 2
Shocking. It is very shocking.
Host 1
My family likes it in the butt. Oh, that poor woman. That's like, something you do. If you do it as a gesture from time to time.
Host 2
You wanna. You're gonna ask for such things.
Host 1
Shit. Ton of planning. You need to, you know, talk about.
Host 2
Trying to get the ring, trying to get the car.
Host 1
That's not a.
Host 2
It's not a regular basis.
Host 1
No, no. Poor girl. Oh, my God.
Host 2
Wow. We. Golden Globe.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Right here we have all your advice.
Host 1
Exactly.
Host 2
We would like to reiterate. We are not therapists exactly. Or in any way qualified.
Host 1
Just your unhinged friends giving you unhinged advice. So please take it at your own risk.
Host 2
But I do, really. They need to have a conversation.
Host 1
Me too. And a lot of people. I think a lot of people stray from conversations, especially around sex.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
Because it feels very intimate and personal, and, like, so much of what gets you there in those moments is, like, hormones and attraction and stuff. And sometimes you find yourself there before you've had a conversation, and then all of a sudden, you just are in it, and you're like. I've never even talked about, like, if they're sleeping with other people or if this or. And so I really think if you're in a. In a relationship that is. Has become sexual, you got to have at some point, like, the conversation.
Host 2
Right. You have to ask.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Even though it's uncomfortable, Even though it's hard, by the way, if you can't have that conversation.
Host 1
Mm.
Host 2
Either you're really early in the relationship, or you might want to question where that relationship is headed. Because if you can't say, like, why. Why are we doing this? Why aren't we doing that?
Host 1
You know, I come from a world, and then maybe this is so far off, but how I was raised, like, I really didn't think of women as very sexual beings, which I know that's not the case, but I feel that the world that made me think that has. Maybe there's a lot of women out there who don't even feel comfortable talking about their sexual desires because.
Host 2
Let's talk about sex, baby. I'm like, we need to Do a whole episode.
Host 1
Yeah, I agree. Obviously. Maybe that should be all right.
Host 2
I think it's an important topic because I like. It's such an important part of a relationship. It just is, like, because it's intimacy.
Host 1
Yeah, right.
Host 2
I'm not talking about. But also there is animal instinct. And just.
Host 1
It's a lot of things.
Host 2
But there's a lot of things. And there's a lot of reasons why I think so many people get shy about it. Like, don't want to talk about it. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Host 1
Yeah, right.
Host 2
Like, this is how we all end up here. Whoever created us made it feel good for a reason.
Host 1
Exactly.
Host 2
And you should be able to get yours.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
Yeah.
Host 1
People talking about it. Saying what you like, saying what you want. Sticking a finger in his butt. Trust me, he'll thank you later.
Host 2
I love when you kick me off guard.
Host 1
Stick a finger in his butt. You know? Yeah.
Host 2
You do things. And by the way, you have to make an effort. That goes on both sides, though, guys. Take your two pump chump somewhere else.
Host 1
That's right.
Host 2
You better figure it out. Because it is not only about you.
Host 1
Exactly. You rub one out before you come over. If you need to. Because you need to.
Host 2
Because I got needs too, and they don't happen in two pumps.
Host 1
I think we should have an episode.
Host 2
About, like, I'm here for it.
Host 1
All of the. All of that around sex. Because we sure did go there really fast today.
Host 2
We got real. Look at us. Light up. Oh. Bad mood. Be gone.
Host 1
Exactly. Yeah.
Host 2
We gotta talk about it. I like it. I think. Yes.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
There's so many topics.
Host 1
Mm.
Host 2
Toys. Mm. We're gonna have to go there.
Host 1
What to do when you're in a. When you're in a partnership and it's like you just are not on the same page with your partner. Even like when. Like when you want to do it. One of you are tired. Well, maybe scheduling, like, life can get so in the way. And I think having a conversation that just illuminates the importance a healthy, robust sex life, especially in your relationship. But even if you're a single person, my friend, So.
Host 2
Yeah. Well, the desert right now, so we'll get there.
Host 1
Great. Yeah. Okay. You have some. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I'm getting ideas.
Host 2
Oh, no.
Host 1
Okay. It's fine. But you have to share your sex capes as they come.
Host 2
Oh, God.
Host 1
As they come.
Host 2
Anyways, before. Before it gets out of hand. I will say, you could be very proud of me. I did go out to dinner the other night. Sat at the Bar.
Host 1
I love it.
Host 2
And I talked to, like, there was a guy that. He actually was kind of sweet because he was sitting at the other end of the bar, and there was a seat on the left side of me. And he came down and he sat next to me. And he didn't start talking to me right away.
Host 1
Oh. So he moved.
Host 2
He moved. And he kind of tried. He was like, is the seat open? Like. And he said something about, I don't know if he said it was crowded at that end or something. And I was like, yeah, no, it's open. And then he was like, he must go there often, because he was, like, talking to the bartender and stuff a little bit. Okay, wait. Because your friend is such a disaster. So I'm like, my food comes and it's awkward, right? Because, like, I'm not talking. Like, I'm trying not to be on my phone.
Host 1
And you're not good at talking to strangers.
Host 2
I'm not great at an issue. It's not my strong suit.
Host 1
It's okay.
Host 2
It's a little awkward. So I'm eating, and I set my fork down in between bites, and the fucking thing falls off the plate onto the floor. So I have to ask the bartender for another fork, but he's talking to the guy next to me. So I'm like, excuse me, can I get another fork? He hands me another fork. Fine. A few minutes later, I'm eating. The thing almost falls. It does actually fall off the plate again. And I catch it in my lap, and he looks at me, and I was like, I'm a disaster.
Host 1
Got your shit together.
Host 2
But that opened the door. Door. And then we started talking. We talked for, like, 35 minutes while I ate. He had another drink. Super nice guy. Not like nothing. Wasn't necessarily, like, spark sparks.
Host 1
Yeah.
Host 2
But it was just nice to have a conversation.
Host 1
I think that's great.
Host 2
I was proud of myself.
Host 1
Good. Do it. Do that again. And next time, go home with them. I don't care. Again. I'm your unhinged friend giving unhinged advice.
