Ari Matti
Hello. Hello.
Lauren
Thank you for coming on my show.
Ari Matti
Yeah, maybe add another two minutes to that intro song, huh? Holy.
Lauren
It's good, huh?
Ari Matti
That was long, huh?
Lauren
Was it?
Ari Matti
It was like 14 minutes.
Lauren
It was like 14 seconds. I can tell you don't have a lot of patience.
Ari Matti
Oh, okay. Oh, so we were talking. That's. That wasn't okay.
Lauren
Okay. So you were telling me that there was a girl you were smoo.
Ari Matti
With.
Lauren
How did we get into it?
Ari Matti
Yes. See, when I sat down here, I didn't know you were pregnant.
Lauren
Oh, that's right.
Ari Matti
Always that weird moment as a guy.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
You could be full. You. How many months in you are?
Lauren
Seven.
Ari Matti
Yeah. You're like full pregnant, but full pregnant. Like full power. Like at this point even, you know.
Lauren
Yeah. There's no denying. There's no.
Ari Matti
There's no state in the US that's.
Lauren
Going to no.
Ari Matti
On that one.
Lauren
That's right.
Ari Matti
But even as a guy, every time I could see you going into labor, I'll still be like, don't bring it up, guy. I always feel so weird. And then you were saying, would you. You said, would you think that I would let myself go like that?
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
And trust me, women in their 30s, that first mental breakdown comes. I used to smooch with this girl in high school. The hottest girl. The hottest girl.
Lauren
Smooch just a little.
Ari Matti
Yeah. High school.
Lauren
Okay.
Ari Matti
Nothing. I think I felt her through the jeans one time. Like, feel the heat. You Know, nothing creepy, just a little like the ice age was on or something. You know, the mom is bringing us cupcakes or something.
Lauren
Or you're in high school.
Ari Matti
You're like 15, 16. That's high school. Right?
Lauren
You've got ice age on and cupcakes coming in from. Okay, okay, okay.
Ari Matti
Maybe like a snack.
Lauren
Okay, a snack. Maybe a snack.
Ari Matti
You know, banana bread. You know, my mom is trying to get my first girlfriend, you know, in the mood. Know moms love when they sons, cuz dads always shut it down when you have a guy over. Dads shut it down. When a girl. When you have a daughter.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
You shut that date down. But when you're a mom, you. You help the son out. That's cooler. You know, when a son has you.
Lauren
Okay.
Ari Matti
You don't want your son to be an incel. You know?
Lauren
Right. So you're so you're smooching with this girl.
Ari Matti
Hottest girl. And then I saw her like last year. It's.
Lauren
She's huge.
Ari Matti
Not, I mean, not even huge, like documentary.
Lauren
Oh, wow.
Ari Matti
Crazy.
Lauren
Why would happen.
Ari Matti
She had, I don't know, so. Well, something. Yeah. She snapped.
Lauren
I don't know, she had a mental breakdown and she was no longer hot.
Ari Matti
You know, I still bang. As long as I can find the hole, I'll bang you like. And her memory is still so hot to me that, you know.
Lauren
Yeah. You could just close your eyes and pretend like you're there again. Yeah, I'll just build more cushion for the push in.
Ari Matti
Yeah, well. Well, that was a bit too much cushion, but okay. There won't be a lot of pushing.
Lauren
Well, I'm just pregnant, so.
Ari Matti
Yeah. Yeah, but then girls come back from that too. Guys never. See, that's the thing when guys get fat, very rarely guys come back. They just stay fat. Yeah, but girls can fat.
Lauren
But why is that? Why don't guys. Why do guys typically not come back from that, do you think?
Ari Matti
I don't know. What do you think?
Lauren
I don't know. I feel like they're just like fat and happy. They're fine, you know.
Ari Matti
Oh, and it's different. Yeah.
Lauren
Oh, also it's because a guy doesn't necessarily need to be hot to get a girl. You need money.
Ari Matti
Exactly.
Lauren
Money and power. You can be fat. Haven't you seen some of these pictures of these like really hideously fat old men that are pulling just like the hottest girls?
Ari Matti
Listen, you just brought up. Don't even get me started right now. I've been going to these nice gyms and like Nice spas. And sometimes I go on holiday. You stay at the pool?
Lauren
Uhhuh.
Ari Matti
You see, like the hardest. Like Angelina Jolie. Like, she's into gorgeous yoga. Tasteful, rich, well taken care of.
Lauren
You can tell there's like money behind this boy. Wealth.
Ari Matti
Wealth behind this boy.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
She's well mannered, tasteful, in shape like a sculpture.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
The body of a goddess.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
And then you always know what's gonna be behind her. You always know that you see the shadow and you're like, dear God. And it's always the biggest tub of ash. Like a swollen foot with the ugliest nails. Just a big slob of fucking puke.
Lauren
Yeah. Like Jabba the Hutt.
Ari Matti
Jabba the what? Yeah, it's.
Lauren
Oh, I know what you mean.
Ari Matti
And it's not even. Okay, you can have a little bel. Well, actually not. You know what? And I get it. You're rich. I get it. You got the money. But count some calories, you know?
Lauren
Yeah. They're only good at counting their money.
Ari Matti
Just respect your woman's. Overall, you look like different species right now. And I always get so angry. The disrespect to your wife. You're in public, you have speed on someone and just a bloated pig.
Lauren
But don't you think that that's like a little bit of the turn on for him is that he doesn't have to care and he can get this.
Ari Matti
Kill this guy. That's also, you know what? That's also, that's also your. Your beautiful wife.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
Okay, you have the money, but maybe let me her then let's do that.
Lauren
I don't think that would ever happen.
Ari Matti
I know.
Lauren
Do you have a girlfriend?
Ari Matti
No.
Lauren
Are you dating anybody?
Ari Matti
Always actually. Well, yeah, I go on dates sometimes, but then like when I was at this hotel and the fat tub of is there, you know, and they're always like on a call or something, drinking just beer at 2pm she's having a smoothie, you know. And then I was on my Daniel Craig, I was doing laps in the pool. I was on my Daniel Craig, you know, doing laps in the pool, coming out of the water. And then she looks at me, you know, we make eye contact with her. Nothing's ever gonna happen. But she had that look, the moment, the moment of like in another life.
Lauren
If you were just as wealthy as.
Ari Matti
The fat blob or just in another life, another circumstance, it's never gonna happen. But I saw that look.
Lauren
Do you want to get married?
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Lauren
Do you want to have kids?
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Lauren
How old are you?
Ari Matti
32.
Lauren
What age do you think you're gonna get married at?
Ari Matti
I need to be so rich that these kids are never gonna leave the compound.
Lauren
Okay. Where do you think you would live? Would you go back to Estonia? Would you?
Ari Matti
I want to live in Estonia. I need to get this private jet money as soon as possible and get the fuck out of this country where I get shot. People spit on my sandwich. I need to get out of this country as soon as possible.
Lauren
That's annoying.
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Lauren
Someone spit on your sandwich.
Ari Matti
There was a homeless. Listen, I am a humanist. Is that a word? I'm a human humanoid, okay? I love people, and I wish everybody could be happy. Smoochy, smoochie, you know? I wish everybody could be happy and could make a comeback like a woman with her weight. But I'm eating this fucking Reuben sandwich on the corner, and all I need between gigs. I was just bombing my ass off. All I need is 30 minutes of quiet on a corner where I can enjoy a little coffee and a little Reuben sandwich. Before you know it, I take one bite out of it, and then, like, over my shoulder, I just hear, he's right here. He's like, he's right here. Cool. That's cool. That's a cool way to start. Right. Right here. And he's got bloody mouth. And because he's yelling, the particles are near my sandwich.
Lauren
Ew.
Ari Matti
So then I go, no, I. I don't got it. Sandwich in the trash. And then I try to get a new sandwich. The place was closed.
Lauren
Oh, no. That sucks.
Ari Matti
I know. Yeah. So sometimes. Listen, you can be homeless, but don't be rude.
Lauren
You know, I tried to give a sandwich to a homeless guy in a wheelchair, and he had no legs one time. And when I gave him the other half of my sandwich, which, by the way, let me make very clear, I still wanted it.
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Lauren
I didn't want to give it away, but Lieutenant Dan looked like he needed it more than me, so I went to give it to him, and I. And he looked at it and he goes, is there cheese on it? And I said, yes. And he goes, I'm lactose intolerant. And he handed it back, and I was so happy. I was like, thank you so much. I didn't even want to give this to you. I was trying to be nice.
Ari Matti
Homeless people never want the food. They don't want the money.
Lauren
Also, take the cheese off.
Ari Matti
Yeah. Also, you don't have time for an intolerance. You have in your pants and you're.
Lauren
Under a Bridge, I don't have anything else to say about that guy. But that was the only time I ever gave, like, something I really wanted to a homeless guy. I've given things that I don't really like to homeless people. You know that one time I even went to McDonald's and I ordered. I got $100 worth of gift cards and I got $10 each. And I would give them to female homeless women. Well, of course they're women. Female homeless people. Because I felt so bad that women were homeless.
Ari Matti
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lauren
And I was like, oh, man, I know it sucks that everyone's homeless, but I would give them $10 gift cards to McDonald's and that was. And I felt like that was better than giving my sandwich away.
Ari Matti
Yeah, I do get that. Women homeless. If I see a dude who's homeless, I'm always like, the system is rigged for us. Like, as a dude, if you don't make it, we're literally playing bowling with the pins up. Not the pins, but the.
Lauren
The bar thing.
Ari Matti
The bar.
Lauren
I don't know what it's called, but I know what you're talking about. Bumpers.
Ari Matti
The bumpers. We're playing bowling with the bumpers up here. It's literally cheat codes on Grand Theft Auto.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
Being a man and to make it is so easy.
Lauren
But women homeless, yeah.
Ari Matti
It's that motherly instinct that makes me really sad. Makes me really sad. In New York, you see those crazy moms with that, like they have a kid or something, you know, that's tugging on your. New York is like headliners of homeless people.
Lauren
Oh, yeah.
Ari Matti
They're like the top tier because they have children who like pull your jacket, you know. But then your friend is like, no, no, she's gonna go behind the corner and sell it to a Mongolian gang or something. I don't know. It's always like a red.
Lauren

Lauren

Ari Matti
But I got a spot which. I could help them, but.
Lauren
Do you believe in astrology?
Ari Matti
No, I'm a guy.
Lauren
Okay, what was the last.
Ari Matti
Those astrology girls that are deep with the toe ring and.
Lauren
Yeah, that's how they're deep. Yeah. What about her nose ring?
Ari Matti
Oh, listen, if you have a nose ring, it's over. My tongue is going up that ass as soon as possible.
Lauren
You like the bad girls.
Ari Matti
It's not bad, but just.
Lauren
There's a wild side to someone with a nose ring.
Ari Matti
Or the. When the whole ear is all the way down. You know, when it's all like so many rings, you know, it looks like a metal piece of ring.
Lauren
You like that?
Ari Matti
I love that. And then this, this, this here.
Lauren
Oh, the.
Ari Matti
I love this. I love this.
Lauren
The bull nose ring.
Ari Matti
I love the bull. The bullnose ring. I will wear it as a keychain. I love the bull nose ring. Also the Playboy bunny here. You know the Playboy bunny here.
Lauren
What? What?
Ari Matti
You know, the little Playboy bunny here.
Lauren
I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about.
Ari Matti
The boys know, right?
Lauren
A Playboy Bunny.
Ari Matti
A Playboy bunny on your.
Lauren
On your bone. Yeah. There's like some pieces on your boner, like right here on your nose.
Ari Matti
I have no idea where it goes.
Lauren
Okay, okay. You're scaring me with the bone thing. Okay, so you like a Playboy Bunny nose ring. Okay. I thought they were Showing us picture. But they're not. There's just some like, weird. Oh, okay.
Ari Matti
You see that, that, that's what you like. If I see a Playboy bunny, it's over.
Lauren
Okay, so how do you feel about tattoos? Is this your fetish? Is this your, is this your thing?
Ari Matti
Tattoos?
Lauren
So tattooing, like a neck tattoo? This one.
Ari Matti
Barista in Las Vegas.
Lauren
God, you just like it when women ruin their life. Okay.
Ari Matti
And ruin mine. Please.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
My dream is literally when I'm sleeping. I open my eyes and my girlfriend's above me with a petroleum can. Just light me a fire. Yeah, ruin me. I love it. Let's just move to an apartment and go insane together. I love it.
Lauren
That's wild. Do you have tattoos?
Ari Matti
I have a couple, but they're not like, nothing big. I wish I fucking had a big. Fucking all over.
Lauren
Just engulfed in it.
Ari Matti
Yeah, but in comedy it's like, it's just off putting when you have a neck tattoo. Oh, in Vegas there was a chick with a neck tattoo, just a crow and then she had the, you know, the eye tattoos.
Lauren
Oh my gosh, that was hot. Wow, that's so wild to me. That's great though.
Ari Matti
I love it.
Lauren
So do you. So there's like music that's associated with people like that, right? Like this gothic music?
Ari Matti
No, I don't give a. About the music. Really.
Lauren
You just like the physical image of like.
Ari Matti
No, tattoos are beautiful on a female body. And then the life choices, the trashier the tattoo, the more I have interest.
Lauren
Oh, I see. So you like a girl.
Ari Matti
Barbed wire here. Playboy bunny, Maybe some lower back tattoo.
Lauren
Oh, my goodness.
Ari Matti
I will sue you.
Lauren
Triple threat.
Ari Matti
Triple threat.
Lauren
Okay. There's a lot to unpack here. I really like it. Let's go to the main course question. Let's find out more about you. So knowing this, would you ever date a girl on OnlyFans?
Ari Matti
How's the money?
Lauren
The money's good.
Ari Matti
What's the money like? Tell me.
Lauren
The money is like minimum, minimum 30,000amonth for any, any girl that has.
Ari Matti
I will help you put the. Into the jars and we FedEx it to the guys. I will help you with the project. If it's 30 grand a month, I will help you. I will make. I will. I'll. Those black guys coming over to you, I'll welcome them like they do here. I'll give them coffee in the studio. I'll be like, welcome to. Welcome to.
Lauren
Yeah, you'll. You'll become a partner.
Ari Matti
Yeah. Welcome to Ari Studios. Here go my wife. Before that, do you want some tea or something soothing for your throat? We have beetroot shoes.
Lauren
All right.
Ari Matti
It's a professional production. I'll have these boys over. They'll do sound. Yeah, yeah, we're going to, we're going to make money off that.
Lauren
What is the longest term relationship? The longest you've ever been with a girl? Turn.
Ari Matti
Like a year, two years, grown up, one year. Like grown up. If we go pre 23, you know, like children's. I think I was with a girl for two and a half years.
Lauren
Yeah, okay.
Ari Matti
Yeah, but that's like children, you know, I want. I hated her eight months in, but I was too fucking autistic to leave her. So another two years and also you split the rent, which is, at 20 years old, necessary.
Lauren
Yeah. What is an absolute deal breaker for you?
Ari Matti
There's no deal breaker.
Lauren
No tattoos.
Ari Matti
No, no tattoos. If there's pussy. I mean, it's all about. I'm a vibe guy and I'm not like a player guy. Never been. I don't hang out with girls after shows really. But if I feel a vibe, I.
Lauren
Feel like you, like red flags. Like you.
Ari Matti
It's not really that, but if you're. If your nervous system in your brain chemistry keeps making mistakes. I want to be one of those mistakes.
Lauren
Well, I can assure you that a crow neck tattoo and the lines down.
Ari Matti
The eyes like you look like a cat. That is a red flag when you split that tongue.
Lauren
Have you seen that?
Ari Matti
I know it is pretty. It's a lot, but oh, man, it's not a physical thing, but a gal that walks into a tattoo parlor and goes, hey, look at my tongue.
Lauren
Let's don't show me.
Ari Matti
Let's. Let's just split my fucking tongue.
Lauren
Oh, gosh. I'd rather look at. I'd rather look at a live childbirth then look at that. And why do they have to like look happy? Ah, okay, okay. Ah. They used to like me here.
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Lauren
So what are your turn offs in bed?
Ari Matti
In bed?
Lauren
Yeah. Does anything turn you off a dick?
Ari Matti
Okay, actually, I'll take that back. I'll take that back.
Lauren
You take that back.
Ari Matti
If you're like really hot, then the vibe is good.
Lauren
You could have a dick.
Ari Matti
No, I don't want the dick in me.
Lauren
Oh, okay.
Ari Matti
But I'll put it to the side.
Lauren
I thought you were saying that it was okay to have a dick.
Ari Matti
You know, it's 2026.
Lauren
Oh, definitely not 2026.
Ari Matti
So. So like, I think I'm like when you were saying before, you know, I think I'm too shy to go for my fantasies often. And my fantasy isn't the dick, but I think I'm just an Eastern European. Like I lived in Thailand where I used to backpack and there would be all these pretty guys, you know, I.
Lauren
Think that's where the prettiest ones are. Right.
Ari Matti
The best model is in Thailand, for sure.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
Because a Thai guy, the lady boys, the ladyboy is literally a Thai man is built to be a woman. The transition ain't that.
Lauren
It's easy.
Ari Matti
It's easy.
Lauren
They do have nice figures.
Ari Matti
Try to transition one of like, try. Imagine making Ari Shafir a woman that's going to be a multi 7 million dollar.
Lauren
That gave me the worst visual in my.
Ari Matti
I know, right? It's such a hard transition.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
Such a long transition. Bone structure, the length, the guy, the eyes, the nose. We have to do a lot of work.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
A Thai guy. Have you felt that like when. If you go to Thailand, feel the tuk tuk driver skin, it's literally the softest skin you've ever felt.
Lauren
You felt one.
Ari Matti
Yeah, but I was, you know, social norms and all that. I think I'm the generation that's kind of lost in that fluidity of like what is a man and what is a woman? Because I've already been programmed so hard for me. There's such a big block there. But I think the generation after me will be much more open for that, you know?
Lauren
I see.
Ari Matti
I think so. Right.
Lauren
So like a girl can't do anything to turn you off and nothing.
Ari Matti
You can literally. I mean, if the vibe is off, then it's off.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
I'm a guy who can't even get hard if the vibe is off. You could be the hottest girl ever. And I'm trying to fucking Mike Tyson myself.
Lauren
What is. How do you get the vibe? Right?
Ari Matti
It's.
Lauren
Is it like moody? Does it need to be like lighting and candles and music?
Ari Matti
It's the full. No, no. I could you in an alley if you're. If I want to you. It's not about. You can't put that into words. But there's like, there's a vibe that. That's why when people go, oh, do you like fat girls, skinny girls? I don't even see that. If there's a vibe or look in your eyes that were. We're vibing, you know?
Lauren
Huh.
Ari Matti
I love that.
Lauren
Do you do drugs?
Ari Matti
Sorry?
Lauren
Do you do drugs?
Ari Matti
No, but I smoke a little weed.
Lauren
A little weed.
Ari Matti
That's all I do. That's all I do.
Lauren
I don't believe you.
Ari Matti
I know everybody thinks I'm like a hard drug guy, but.
Lauren
No, it's not that you look like a drug guy. It's that you, you your mental like escape route and like it feels like it does feel.
Ari Matti
I get it.
Lauren
Like you love ecstasy.
Ari Matti
I know people do, always.
Lauren
Have you ever tried ecstasy?
Ari Matti
No. I don't know.
Lauren
Okay? I, I.
Ari Matti
No, I really haven't. I swear to God.
Lauren
You have not.
Ari Matti
No coke, no ecstasy. I've never done any substance. I've done the shroomy wooomis and I've put, put some weed in my mouth.
Lauren
Okay.
Ari Matti
Yeah, in my dirty.
Lauren
But you did say you were hungover bad. So you like to drink?
Ari Matti
I love like a once a week get hammered and all the social anxieties go away. And yesterday there was a Puerto Rico girl at the bar and there was a little game going on, a little darting eyes.
Lauren
Okay. Did you take her home?
Ari Matti
No, I'm not, I'm not that guy.
Lauren
You're not that guy?
Ari Matti
I'm not that guy. What we did was we played a little game with our eyes. We talked a little. I made her giggle, like really giggle. You know where a girl goes stop.
Lauren
How did you make her giggles like this stop?
Ari Matti
But you don't stop.
Lauren
How did you make her giggle?
Ari Matti
Just I'm a funny guy. And then, and then I just went home and like jacked off thinking about her.
Lauren
Why didn't you try to take her home?
Ari Matti
When I get the, when I get the, the booth guys get me the booth. I get you too. The booth guys get me Lauren.
Lauren
Well, all you get right now is me, okay? I know a pregnant lady.
Ari Matti
I love a pregnant lady by the way. Love him.
Lauren
Did you know that I found out that pregnant women can get pregnant while pregnant?
Ari Matti
Wait, wait, wait. The baby get pregnant?
Lauren
Yeah. Like I could get pregnant while pregnant at a certain point in pregnancy.
Ari Matti
So it two babies.
Lauren
Or like I. Because I saw this tick tock that this girl like had a baby and was already pregnant again. She got pregnant before she gave birth. It's ice. This is. And then I looked it up and I was like, is this real? Yes. It's possible to get pregnant while already pregnant, but it's extremely rare. It is possible.
Ari Matti
Superfatation.
Lauren
Isn't that crazy? It's called super fitation. The medical term for getting pregnant while already pregnant is superfitation. And this girl on tick tock gave birth and was already pregnant again.
Ari Matti
That's when you got that powerful come. When the come gets to Your. And they're like, we're.
Lauren
You just have uterus.
Ari Matti
We're already full. And your cum is like, move over.
Lauren
God, that would be.
Ari Matti
Get the. Sit. Sit back down. Absolutely wild.
Lauren
How do you feel about open relationships?
Ari Matti
See, same thing. Let's go back to the same thing of the, you know, the societal norms. I think like my rational brain. My rational brain says that you don't own anybody and anything's possible. It's all a paradigm. But if you. My wife, I'll kill you, the cat and the guy.
Lauren
I just thought killing the cat was funny.
Ari Matti
Yeah, but I'll kill everybody. Yeah, but I kill everybody. So the strangle you to death. Wait for it. Then I'll text with the guy to make him come back and fuck you. Then he comes in, door lock. He knows what's up. I'll strangle this guy.
Lauren
Oh, is that how you would do murder you?
Ari Matti
And then I'll act like nothing happened and I'll cry on television like, where's my wife? Please find my wife. Meanwhile, she's in a ditch.
Lauren
You're a good actor. So you would strangle someone just to.
Ari Matti
See the life leave?
Lauren
That's wild.
Ari Matti
No, but. But like, you're not joking.
Lauren
Hello.
Ari Matti
But that's kind of hot though. You think? I know. And by the way, I cheat on you, girl. Murder me.
Lauren
I would just.
Ari Matti
I would. If you. If you just stab me.
Lauren
I would ghost you. I'm a ghoster.
Ari Matti
Oh, yeah? Yeah, I'm a ghoster too.
Lauren
I exit and you never hear from me again.
Ari Matti
Jesus Christ.
Lauren
Some. I feel like sometimes it's such a nice exit.
Ari Matti
Oh yeah. I love ghosting.
Lauren
You know, I'm like, I'm not gonna ruin your life. I'm just gonna leave it.
Ari Matti
Absolutely. Like. But you were saying, like open relationship. But what do you think about this? I have a friend, he was with his love. With his love of his life for eight years. They went through a rough patch because they were the first love, you know, they're the first relationship, you know, when you start actually becoming a person. 23, 24, 25. With guys, it's like 38. But like, you know, you go through those ages and it's your first relationship. So that first actual struggle of. Is this actually going to be till the rest of our lives? So that rough patch where she kind of went off and fucked some soccer players, you know, some athletes, plural, maybe.
Lauren
Okay.
Ari Matti
And they could never get back together, even though he still loved her and she still loved him, because the paradigm of like, you know, guys Insecurity of, you know, like someone. My woman, you know, they can get over that. I would say, if I was in that position, I think my ego is strong enough to get over that. Maybe. Maybe. I think. At least I hope so.
Lauren
I just like hearing you say paradigm.
Ari Matti
Paradigm? Is that a word?
Lauren
Well, you say paradigm.
Ari Matti
Paradigma.
Lauren
I think it's fun.
Ari Matti
Thanks.
Lauren
I like that. What is the hardest word for you to say in English?
Ari Matti
The N word.
Lauren
That was great. For some people. That's really easy to say. And he's like, yup.
Ari Matti
So yeah, it flies off some people. It's like a fucking hello.
Lauren
So how do you feel about talking to your exes?
Ari Matti
The exes have a big problem with me. I don't have any problem with Texas.
Lauren
Why do they have a problem with you?
Ari Matti
I don't know. Sometimes people create like a thing in their head, like a war in their head, you know, that isn't really real.
Lauren
I'm gonna need you to elaborate.
Ari Matti
You know, like in my head. All good, baby. You know, like we just didn't vibe it. We didn't.
Lauren
Okay. Okay.
Ari Matti
And I'm such a. That I never really close the door either. I never had that final conversation.
Lauren
I just sort of wiggle away.
Ari Matti
I know.
Lauren
And then they feel like there's still a chance. Do you also.
Ari Matti
I'll. If I get drunk, all of my exes get a dm. Just so you know.
Lauren
Oh, really?
Ari Matti
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Miss you, baby. Miss you so much. Everything's. My life is. I'm suicidal. Come back, baby, please. But that's only cuz I'm just in the mood.
Lauren
And then what happens? What happens?
Ari Matti
I'll literally send you a poem. A poem? In the 3am I'll send you a crazy poem. What is wrong with you? Love my life.
Lauren
Why?
Ari Matti
I don't know. It's just. I'm in that mood. I'm a little drunk. I miss you. I'm lonely.
Lauren
That's not okay.
Ari Matti
I know. I'm not saying it's okay. I'm saying I'm crazy. But some girls, also some exes know exactly how I am. So they just laugh with it and we all have a great time. I miss you, my angel. Oh my God. I love it. I love how mystified you are by me. I love it so much.
Lauren
Well, I feel like I'm talking to a very irrational, like Russian.
Ari Matti
I'm pretty crazy. Yeah.
Lauren
You know, like I can tell that there's really no predicting what you would do.
Ari Matti
Yeah. But I think a lot of men feel like I do. They're just too scared to say it.
Lauren
I'm not sure that's true.
Ari Matti
Maybe not. I don't know. Maybe I'm just a unique Simon.
Lauren
You seem fun, though.
Ari Matti
No, it's a great time. I'm hell and fun.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
Yeah. It's like up and down. It's a fucking roller coaster out there.

But are they that big?
Ari Matti
They're big and they're cute and they're awesome and she has.
Lauren
They are cute. I give her boobs cute.
Ari Matti
And I don't even mean the actress. I mean some of the roles she's played in. Maybe she's such a convincing actress that also that look I was describing of like, you know, she kind of plays like a.

There's a model that I follow on Instagram that has, like, the most beautiful boobs I've ever seen. And they're all natural. Her name's like Ella Scurvado or something like that.

Let's say that one of your seven close guy friends gives you a call.
Ari Matti
Jesus Christ.
Lauren
Okay, he's having a terrible day. The girl of his dreams just left him, and you need to give him some pick me up advice. What do you tell him?
Ari Matti
Does he want to get back with the girl, though?

I think he's just focused. This just happened. He doesn't even know. He's distraught.
Ari Matti
He's shell shocked.
Lauren
He's shell shocked.
Ari Matti
Shell shocked, yes.
Lauren
How do you lift him up? What do you say?
Ari Matti
That. That stupid.
Lauren
Okay.
Ari Matti
There's plenty of more dumb.
Lauren
But that's not enough. That's not enough for him. He's like, seriously, like, needs to meet up and have a drink. And you guys are so you guys are talking.
Ari Matti
We smoke some weed.
Lauren
Okay.
Ari Matti
I. I say good, positive stuff. We watch maybe a Rocky movie.
Lauren
A Rocky movie? You're gonna watch a movie?
Ari Matti
Rocky 4 when he makes the comeback, you know?
Lauren
Okay.
Ari Matti
And then if you want, I can order some whores for us.
Lauren
I knew that was coming.
Ari Matti
I'm not a Big prostitute guy, too scared. But for my friend.
Lauren
Anything for your friend.
Ari Matti
Anything for my friend.
Lauren
Would you just not go to a strip club?
Ari Matti
Yeah, see, that's a good one, too. In America, I would. In Estonia, strip clubs are all, like, owned by Albanian gangsters. And there's a, you know, like a Ukrainian woman with no passport on stage. It's not exactly, like, a great vibe. I don't really buy women. I don't sell organs. You know, I'm not into that business.
Lauren
I see. Yeah.
Ari Matti
If you're like Mr. Tate, then you can go ahead, you know, sell the women and have fun. Everybody is.
Lauren
Everybody wins.
Ari Matti
Everybody's entitled to have fun however they have. If you sell prostitutes, that's your. Your business.
Lauren
Okay, so let's just dial it back for a second.
Ari Matti
So an American strip club I love. It's like a very positive.
Lauren
So you're so. The way you lift someone up is you get their mind off of whatever they're going through by looking at another naked chick.
Ari Matti
Yeah. Or if. If I feel like. If I feel like you need it, maybe we, like, go to her house at night and we just.
Lauren
We just slash our tires.
Ari Matti
We slash our tire and we lurk out there for three or four days until maybe a guy comes by or something.
Lauren
Oh.
Ari Matti
And then we. Fucking human centipede. For my friend.
Lauren
If it's my good friend, totally anything for your friend.
Ari Matti
I will commit surgery on people for my friend and tie them together.
Lauren
I can see why you don't have a super romantic story to tell me.
Ari Matti
Fuck, I wish I could. Wish you did, because it's gonna look bad. I'm actually. No, I am a romantic, and I'm not, like, some animal, but just maybe I really haven't done anything. I've done, like, trips. I've done, like, trips. Like, trips. I'll tell you, like, tomorrow. Pack your back, get your passport, and then I'm not telling you where we go until we get to the airport and we go to, like, Barcelona for a week and we just suck. And in the. In the hotel and I take you out to nice restaurants, I take you to a nice sunset. Eat your ass. One time, I took a girl to. One time, I took a girl to Paris for three days, and I just kept eating her and she kept blowing me, and we never. That's crazy. It just never happened. It was just.
Lauren
That's crazy.
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Lauren
When you do something, like, really romantic, outside of what you do with your mouth, I want you to reach out to me and tell me that you've. What you did.
Ari Matti
Okay, but isn't the trip romantic? Like, what's. Okay. What's the most romantic thing that guy has done to you? Yeah, there's a lot. I bet, right?
Lauren
There are, yeah. Yeah. And it usually ends in sex. I have to agree.
Ari Matti
Well, yeah, but that's also romantic. Why not?
Lauren
It is romantic.
Ari Matti
Some girls are angry at me if I don't them later. You know, they write to me. Like a text to me. Angry.
Lauren
Yeah.
Ari Matti
Yeah.
Lauren
I think I'm better at doing romantic things, though. Like, I'm better at giving than guys are. So I think that I win the awards on, like, the most romantic things I've done.
Ari Matti
What have you done?
Lauren
One time for Valentine's Day, I hung these big black curtains in our kitchen so that whenever he came home, he had to, like, come in the kitchen and, like, remove the blinds. We had, like, this archway. It was really cool. Anyway, when you spread the blinds, you came in, and I was laying naked on the table, and I had these giant banana leaves all over me, and I put sushi all across me. I don't eat fish, but I was dinner. Like, I was the plate that it was served on. And so I had, like, all this stuff, like, set up and so he could come in, and then he got to have a meal in peace. I didn't even talk Holy. And he just ate off all the sushi off me. Oh, that was pretty romantic. That's kind of basic.
Ari Matti
More than romance. No, no, it's not basic. It's more than romantic. That's like a. It's like a brasser's video. But did he, like, eat?
Lauren
He ate it all.
Ari Matti
And he ate in silence or like, he did.
Lauren
I didn't really talk. I was. I was, like, trying to be Asian.
Ari Matti
Wow. One time I played video games. One time I played video games and I was dating a girl who really, like, sick. Why is it funny? It is funny, but I don't even know why. And we were, like, sexually exploring each other, and she had, like, a dominating thing, you know? So what she did was she got naked as well and went to the bedroom and was on her knees just waiting for me. She loved the thought that I'm playing my little video games, and when I get done, then I fuck the shit out of her.
Lauren
Cool. All right, Cool. Well, this has been very fun.
Ari Matti
It's been pretty crazy, huh?
