Robyn
Hi.
Jamie
How was New York?
Robyn
Oh, New York was good. It was really good. So great to be back there. Yeah, I was there for, I don't know, five days. Yeah. Longest, like, time I've been there solo, so it was nice. It was really good.
Jamie
A lot of just hotel resting time.
Robyn
Or did you do some hotel resting time? I was on Long island for a couple of days because I'm doing a film, hopefully this indie film next year, and the writer director wanted to do sort of a proof of concept thing for the investors to see if, like, you know, show them what a scene of the movie would look like, you know, to raise more money. So I got to do some acting with my Long island accent, so spend some time with my family. And then I was in the city for a couple days.
Jamie
So when you know that you have an upcoming acting with Long island accent, do you even think about it or you're like, I show up on set, I just did it.
Robyn
No, you know, what was interesting was, like, a couple of days before, I didn't even. I. I constantly have this awareness of my accent because first when I finished Sopranos, I really tried to rid myself of it because I was getting that feedback in auditions. Like, her New York accent's, like, crazy. So I was trying to now consciously drop that, and it just felt so relaxing to, like, not talk like that and, like, talk more like this and, like, sit with my family and be like, yeah, yeah, it was wild. It was like. It was like an undoing.
Jamie
I think you should just bring it back.
Robyn
I know. Do you want me to do this entire episode on my Long Island Access?
Jamie
Yeah, you're done auditioning.
Robyn
All right, let's do it.
Jamie
Just be yourself.
Robyn
You're right. Fuck it.
Jamie
Yeah. Be Long island yami. Yeah, I love it. And then. How was Mexico?
Robyn
Mexico is awesome. Except apologies if you keep seeing me itch myself. I'd never been to Cancun, and the mosquitoes are wild there. Like, just, I'm covered in mosquito bites. But it was awesome.
Jamie
Everybody in the booth thought you were going through withdrawals, but they're happy to know it's just bug bites.
Robyn
Maybe I should. Yeah, maybe both.
Jamie
Yeah.
Robyn
What.
Jamie
What was. What was Mexico all about?
Robyn
Mexico is a. One of my dear friends, Stacy. It was her birthday, and so her and her family rented this beautiful house on the beach and invited us and a couple of other families to go with all the kids. So it was just a really lovely, relaxing time. We haven't done anything like that, really, ever with the kids. So it was. It was awesome.
Jamie
Back last night, Cutter said the girls were a little nervous before the trip. Right.
Robyn
Well, so we were supposed to go to Cabo, and then there was, like, a hurricane there, so we sort of, you know, redirected the trip. But, yes, the girls were nervous because of, you know. I mean, you hear that possibly Cancun's not very safe, but that wasn't.
Jamie
Out of nowhere. Didn't they, like, make an announcement, like.
Robyn
Like, the cartel?
Jamie
The cartel was like, yeah, we're gonna start going after Americans.
Robyn
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jamie
Like, let's go.
Robyn
But we obviously didn't leave the resort or the home that we were in. Yeah. Well, that.
Jamie
That's something else I wanted to ask you. So let's say you were in a house that had everything you needed.
Robyn
Mm.
Jamie
How. Because you know how people are always like, I need to get out of the house. Never get out of the house.
Robyn
I never need to leave a house.
Jamie
I feel the same. But how long do you think it would be really, before you were like, all right, I need to go do something. Because when some people. Some people say, I never have to go, and then they're like, well, after two days, I have to.
Robyn
No. And I have friends that can do that with me, and then I have other friends that are like that. Like, I have had times where we've all gone away together, and friends were like, I can't do that again, because we were in the house every day, and I was like, oh, I loved it.
Jamie
I know. I hate. I hate when people are like, oh, I need to get. By the way, if it's like, three days and somebody says that, it's like, okay, I understand. But some people are, like, an hour after you get somewhere, they're like, but we need to get. I need to get out. I'm like, we just got in.
Robyn
I know. And I also realized I'm like, I'm really boring. Like, I'm not the girl you want to invite to party with for a myriad of reasons. But, you know, I. I started to get down to myself, and then I was like, no, fudge it. I don't even like it. Like, what, what does it matter?
Jamie
Like, the, the amount of filtering down I have to do when I'm looking at people to date is so bad. And being very boring is one of the big ones. I mean, the drinking is number one. The drink is like, when I. As soon as I see somebody is like all their pictures of them drinking, I'm just like, we're not. When I see somebody with a dog that I'm allergic to, I'm like, no, this isn't going to work.
Robyn
Well, this is good though. I think these are positive things to really.
Jamie
It is. Unless you actually want to date because it's, it gets to a point, but.
Robyn
Like weeding them out though.
Jamie
But I'm telling you, and I know I about this a lot, but every woman is like, hope you're ready to travel. Hope you're ready to do this. And I'm like, I'm not. I'm not going. And I'm not gonna lie and be like, yeah, no. And then like start hooking up with her and then be like, actually, I don't lie. I'm just like, hey, no, yeah, yeah.
Robyn
You'Ve got to be.
Jamie
I know, but there's.
Robyn
There's no way that wouldn't be what I lead with, do I. Are there places in the world I want to see? Yes. I actually think I would be more into travel if it wasn't as hard as it is for me. Physically.
Jamie
Yeah.
Robyn
But traveling, listen, it's hard for us. Traveling has never been like number one for me. But some people, it's the most important.
Jamie
On, on dating apps, you have like a bio and like the. Before they're like, hey, the first thing is like, hope you're ready to try. I could work from anywhere.
Robyn
Hope you're ready to be running into this a lot.
Jamie
It's. It's. If you. Again, I say this all the time, but if you went through the dating app right now, I would say 8 out of 10 girls will mention traveling on their thing. And it's like every single picture is like my, my whole. I. I've seen 136 countries. Hope you're ready to see the rest with me. I'm like, there's that many. Like, I'm just, I'm so. Yeah, I'm just. I just want to sit, like. And if, if I were to go somewhere, it would be like, I'm going to sit in the house.
Robyn
Like, okay, I have an idea. I would love to have like a love connection show type thing. I can Be Chuck Woolery and. Can we just get some videos? No, no, it's like just some videos sent in. Can women now that you know. Okay, you can't have a dog that like sheds. You can't.
Jamie
You can't have a short hair dog.
Robyn
You can't have a short haired dog.
Jamie
No, no, we can't do it.
Robyn
Don't trap. Why? I just want some videos. I'm not saying you have to go out with them. Let's just try, you know, because then find your soulmate.
Jamie
Because then I have to be mean and be like, no, you know what I mean? It's not nice. It's not. I'm not gonna. I'm just gonna sit here quiet, you know what I mean? It's not gonna be okay. Yeah, it's gonna be. It's gonna be me critiquing women, which is not gonna turn out. I'm telling you. It's gonna be me.
Robyn
Couldn't wear a suit and a wig.
Jamie
Oh, yeah. Maybe we get somebody. Maybe we get somebody else. You could find dates for any. Maybe you find dates for any.
Cutter
Oh, oh, I'm good on that.
Jamie
Yeah.
Cutter
Yeah, I'm chilling on that. I'm not trying to hurt bitches feelings.
Robyn
You know what I'm saying?
Jamie
That's what. Yeah, it's not. It's not nice. You know what I mean?
Robyn
Where.
Jamie
When, Like, I don't know because also, like, I'm not at the age where it's like, going out on a date would be fun. Like I'm. I don't look forward to it. Like, I'm like, I have to. Like whenever I finally. It does break through. Like, it happened recently where like, I'm like, all right, I'm gonna go on a date. Because it seems like this is working. I'm. I'm not excited at all. I'm like, like, this is whack. Like, it's. It's just. I don't want to tell my story. I don't. I'm not really looking forward to getting to know. So I wish I could just cut to like the three month part where you're like three months in and you guys get each other and that. We're like sitting down and being.
Robyn
Listen to my podcast.
Jamie
No, that's the worst. That's the worst. I was dating a woman who heard this and it ended up really bad. Yeah.
Robyn
Did you talk about her?
Jamie
No, I think it was the opposite. I think you were like, so you see anybody? And I was like, nah.
Robyn
Well, you could just be like, I Want to keep this private, Jamie, you.
Jamie
Think just talking rationally works all the time? Because I'll tell you right now, talking doesn't. I, I, that's what I did. I was like, oh, well, I, I cuz before that I had talked about dating somebody. I'm like, that didn't work out well, so I'm just going to leave it now. And she's like, oh, so I'm, I'm no one. I'm nothing like, you know. And you're like, yeah, okay. Nice knowing you. Go travel.
Robyn
You're going to have to know though this to be with a woman, you got to deal with the es and the flows and, and some emotions. She's not always going to be. Yes, you. She's not always going to be perfect.
Jamie
No, I don't need perfect. I just can't deal with crazy.
Robyn
We're all crazy.
Jamie
That's why I'm single. Yeah, it's nice. Listen, me and any were talking about it the other day. It's, it's nice when you don't have to think about other people's feelings and you could just go and do your thing. I could wake up at 11am and none's the wiser. You know, nobody's on my shit about it. Yeah, I can just fucking, you know.
Robyn
Always have a comeback that I can't argue with.
Jamie
You know, listen, it's, you know, it hat. But, but you know, here's the thing. I think when it does, when it does happen, it is really good because I'm like, oh, I know this is like working. You know what I mean? Like, you saw the last time I was dating somebody, I was very happy.
Robyn
And it was very happy.
Jamie
But then when I'm not, it's like, it's, it's like, it's like it feels like a crowbar like, like trying to get. And I'm like, all right, I, I guess I could do this, but it's, it feels like a lot. But then when it's going, it's great. Yeah, it's just that initial.
Robyn
I feel like you're ready. You're ready for one now.
Jamie
I don't know, maybe when I'm like 50. Maybe when I'm 50, I'll do it. Okay, we'll be back. So no, speaking of the, of this. So I did the podcast with the first podcast without you.
Robyn
That's right.
Jamie
Last week.
Robyn
How was it?
Jamie
It was good.
Robyn
Yeah.
Jamie
Sal's really good. If it was somebody else, that's the thing, I wouldn't have done it. If it was somebody else, it was just because Sal was here and I knew he'd be great. We went for an hour and a half.
Robyn
Wow.
Jamie
We had really. It was fun.
Robyn
That's awesome.
Jamie
But here's the question I asked him. Now we get the woman's perspective. If you were going out on a date with a guy for the first time and he uses a gift card at the restaurant. Yeah. See, I know you could be honest. I know that that got you a little.
Robyn
And he picked it.
Jamie
Yeah, well, the guy has. You can't pick the restaurant on the first date. It's always. A guy is going to be like, we're going here.
Robyn
Like, why can't I pick it on the first date?
Jamie
We talked about that. Women don't like that. Women don't like when a guy's like, hey, so where do you want to go? What do you want? It's like, hey, we're going to go here.
Robyn
It's going to be this time. I mean.
Jamie
Yeah, see, guys, this is.
Robyn
It would. It would plant a tiny seed. It was not a deal breaker. Wow. It's not a deal breaker. But I would be like, okay, and how. But also, like, if you have a gift card. You got a gift card, like, use it.
Jamie
That's what I'm saying. So what's the seed? What's the seed that it plants?
Robyn
Just my antenna antennae are up. You know what I mean?
Jamie
Like, what does it say?
Robyn
Is he a cheapie? Is that. Is that what you're fishing for?
Jamie
No, I'm asking, honestly, is he.
Robyn
I don't know. Is just. I don't know, like.
Jamie
Oh, because you're thinking, did he pick this because he had the thing? Yeah, I didn't even go to that thing.
Robyn
Oh, where would you go?
Jamie
Just. Just that it's. Because here's. Here's what I said, right? If. If it's one of those things where, like. Because sometimes they just give you like a credit card type thing. If I could just hand that. And like, it's. It's. It's taken care of. Yeah, that's one thing. But then at the place, like, Uchi, if you've ever. If you've ever read the thing there, sometimes you're like, yeah, like, it's only a piece of paper. And like, because you have to print it out and then it's like, oh, yeah, B. There's like a whole bunch of numbers and that would be very.
Robyn
A little awkward.
Jamie
Awkward, yeah, for sure. But I didn't even think, like, smart.
Robyn
He would call ahead and be like, here is the gift card number for my reservation.
Jamie
Yeah, but see, that just feels.
Robyn
Why are you laughing?
Cutter
This is just funny that you called that smart. I would call that manipulative and deceitful.
Robyn
But yeah, manipulative people are intelligent usually.
Jamie
Yeah.
Cutter
You're not wrong. That's not mutually.
Robyn
They go hand in hand. Yeah.
Jamie
You know what? It was raining the other night. You know, a light little drizzle. You know what I did? I threw on my rag and Bone hoodie when I went out. It was perfect. Kept me warm, kept me dry. Felt good, felt amazing.

Jamie
All right. What if you were at. What if you were at a dinner first date, and the guy gives his credit card and they come back and they're like, oh, we're so sorry. This was declined.
Robyn
Oh, I feel so bad for him. I wouldn't judge. I would feel so bad. That's embarrassing.
Jamie
But then would you try and dig in and be like, so was that, like, an accident or.
Robyn
Back. So back. I didn't date much in my life. Like, I was a serial monogamist.
Jamie
But when you did, they were millionaires.
Robyn
No.
Jamie
What do you mean?
Robyn
When I met Gutter, he was dead broke. I think more of. I'm such a vibe person that it. I've. I've made not sacrifices. I've overlooked tons of things because I am incredibly attracted to somebody. So. Though I might be the wrong person to ask about this type of stuff. However, I've never been single for a very long period of time where you're having. Where you're, like, worn out and you're really aware of all these things and, like, immediately being like, nope, nope, nope. Like, I, again, I just would go off of physical attraction and chemistry, and I would overlook that immediately.
Jamie
So then do you instantly go, I got it?
Robyn
Yes.
Jamie
I don't know. Like, I would be so uncomfortable if my credit card got denied, the woman paid, and I don't know if I could do a second date. I guess it would just have to be really good, like, because I think I would be so. And you know what's weird? I don't even care about that. I think it's just, like, the stereotypical. Like, I really don't care if a woman thought that I was broke or my credit cards didn't work. I don't care. But that awkwardness of the, like, oh, I got it. And then, like, do it. Like, I don't think I could come back from just that. Whatever that is. Like, that would be like. And then I'm sitting there like, oh, funny thing. It worked yesterday. Like, I don't even know. I don't even know what, like, where you go.
Robyn
I don't know. You know, Cutter and I have had such a. Like, pass the baton of, like, who's doing better? Baton. Baton. My. Longer than I could.
Jamie
I could be. Oh, sorry. I don't want to shame you.
Robyn
Yeah, stop Judging the way I don't want to be.
Jamie
I don't want to Shame. I'm so sorry. This is why, see, I'm the reason. I'm so sorry.
Robyn
We. We, you know, very beginning, it was like, it was just clear of, like, who had money and who didn't. And then there have been times where I've been unemployed for a really long time, and he was doing well. And so it just. We. We were. That's just never been a judgment of or just a barometer of anything. Like, I think very. In the very early stages of our relationship. It was just like, whoever can support right now can support type of thing.
Jamie
Yeah, no, listen, I agree. 100. And when a lot of time when we talk about these things, it's like, if this happened on the first date, like, if. If this happened on the third date with a girl, I would be like, who fucking cares? Like, I let. You're just something about the first date where it's like, oh, it didn't work. And just.
Robyn
Did I tell you ever tell you the story of the first, like, nice restaurant Cutter and I went to, though, with, like, a group of friends?
Jamie
I know, I know, but have we heard this? No, I don't think so.
Robyn
Right, so there's this place in L. A. Called sushi park. It's like a dope omasaki place.
Jamie
Sorry, is that long Island? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Omasaki. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. That was long Island. My apologies. I shouldn't do that. That was me shaming you.
Robyn
It's a dope sushi place, and it's like, you know, very, like, you wouldn't expect anything. It's in a strip mall on the second floor next to, like, a dry cleaner. It's very small, but it's incredible. And, like, you know, 10 tables, not even. And I had told Cutter, I want to bring you to my favorite sushi place. And so his friend Adam came with us, and my friend Lindsay and I had every intention of paying for dinner because I knew this place is not cheap. It's like, minimum a hundred dollars a person.
Jamie
And you said, I want to bring you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.
Robyn
So I had gone to the bathroom, and Cutter wanted to do the nice thing by paying for. And, you know, there was no menu. It's like, yes, they just bring everything. That's right. I didn't want to say it and say it wrong. And when I got back, I saw them bringing the bill to him, and it was like, slow mo Where I was like, no. And I saw him open it and just like, like melt into the chair and just, and I wanted to be like, please, please. Like I, I brought you here. Like, I did not meet, I did not go to the bathroom in hopes you were going to pay this. Like this was not how. And poor thing. I mean, I think he like was overdrawn after that dinner.
Jamie
Well, yeah, he was a 22 year old minor league baseball player. Right.
Robyn
And his dad just went to jail. Like it was not good times for a guy.
Jamie
I know, but was that one of the moments where you were like, oh, he's a good or you don't even care?
Robyn
No, I did, I did think it was very kind for him to want to do that, you know, and spend any money that he had to do that. But I felt terrible.
Jamie
But you're also like, we've talked about this. We're like two weeks into a relationship, you're like, I love you. Right. Like that's. Yeah, I still think about that. I'm like, that blows me away.
Robyn
Yeah.
Jamie
Two weeks and I'm still like, do I even like this person?
Robyn
Oh yeah, no, I'm, I'm all in.
Jamie
Wow. What, what did we ever ask you guys back there? Like what, what do you think a normal or like for you when you say I love you to someone, how long that takes for me?
Cutter
As long as possible at least.
Robyn
Oh, that'd be nice. It took me five months.
Jamie
Yeah.
Sponsor Voice
Yeah.
Jamie
All right. We got some normal answers back there.
Robyn
I don't think it's ever been more than a month for me.
Jamie
Ever.
Robyn
Ever. Maybe one, maybe one boyfriend, maybe one Scott. Maybe that's it.
Jamie
How many? How many? So when you're.
Robyn
And it drove me crazy.
Jamie
When you're dating somebody, do you always, when you were dating people, did you always fall into the thing of like we're going to be together forever? Like, like a month in, like once you say I love you, are you like, well, I plan my, I'm planning my future with this person.
Robyn
I don't know if I was. Would go that far, but I would fantasize what it would be like to have a life with this person. Yes, but have you ever. Because I got married very young, I don't think I ever let myself go there too fast. Do you know what I mean? Like, I think because I had been married and divorced by 24, all the other relationships I had after, I would sure like fantasize and, and put it, assume like you're putting in this time. This potentially could Be the person. But never felt any type of, like, countdown to that needing to happen. Because all my boyfriends were like, you know, two to three year long relationships.
Jamie
But have you ever been with somebody and you're like, I love you and things are great, but in your head you're like, I know this isn't gonna last.
Robyn
No. No. Because then what am I doing? I'm in it, assuming that maybe this will go the distance. And then when I started to get the ick, I'd be out.
Jamie
Really? So it was always you.
Robyn
Most. Except for one. Yeah.
Jamie
Wow. So how did you handle it when it wasn't you, since you were only not well? Wow. And how long were you with that person?
Robyn
On and off a year.
Jamie
On and off a year. And they were just like, jamie, I can't do this anymore.
Robyn
But no, I didn't even get that. It was. It was more after. After a year, there was a final moment where I was like, wow, this person does not respect me at all.
Jamie
I'm out.
Robyn
And then I met Cutter like a month later.
Jamie
Wow.
Robyn
Yeah.
Jamie
And you bankrupted him.
Robyn
Correct.
Jamie
Take him to sushi park.
Robyn
Yeah, I picked him up.
Jamie
What about. What, you want some sushi? What's the fastest you guys have ever said I love you?
Cutter
I don't know. For me, I can't. I can't think of.
Jamie
I don't know.
Cutter
I don't know. I'm not sure. Probably a couple months, three months, something like that.
Jamie
Yeah.
Cutter
I don't know. It's always them first, though. It's like, I'm not gonna say it until you kind of force me to say it. And then like.
Robyn
Yeah, I've never said it first.
Jamie
Right, That's. So you guys would just. You and any would just go forever. No one would ever say it.
Robyn
Yeah, I've never said it first.
Cutter
Yeah. We play a game of chicken and I don't lose. I don't lose.
Jamie
The worst thing in the world is when someone says it and you can't say it back. There's nothing worse.
Robyn
You know my moment of that.
Jamie
Oh, yeah.
Cutter
I've had a few of those. It sucks.
Jamie
Yeah, that's.
Robyn
That's so bad. That's.
Jamie
I'm out. I'm out.
Robyn
Really?
Jamie
Like, yeah, I'm out for like a. Like, that's. That's a real bad. But I don't know. You know what? It might. I. I don't know, but it might be worse than being like, I love you and not getting it back. I don't know.
Robyn
I agree. But I Agree.
Jamie
It is.
Robyn
I. I would much rather be on the other end than be like, oh.
Jamie
Yeah, somebody being like, I love you, and you're like, oh, you do. Like, what is there like, a. Can we ask Chatgpt. What if somebody says, I love you, and you don't love them back? What should.
Robyn
What's a. What's a polite response?
Jamie
My girlfriend said, I love you, and I don't love her back. What should I say? Oh, man, this is. This is. Man, my eyes hurt just from thinking about this. This is a tough topic, and I.
Robyn
Don'T love them back.
Jamie
That's a tough moment, says AI. Yeah. And how you respond depends on your intentions and values.
Robyn
That's a nice one. I care about you a lot, but I'm not there yet. I really, really respect you for being open with your feelings.
Jamie
That. That is all. You might as well kick someone in the head.
Cutter
That's cruel.
Jamie
That is I respect you is horrible. Listen, I care about you, but I'm not there yet. Is okay. Saying I really respect you is. Is just trash. That is so. That is. You might as well just mush them with your hand, like, in your face.
Cutter
I feel like saying yet is up. That's like, we'll get there. It's just not right now. It's like, that's mean. You shouldn't say that. You should just say no. You should try to find a nice.
Jamie
Way to say it.
Cutter
But saying yet is like, you're giving her hope for no reason yet.
Jamie
No, but it might. It might be. It might be that, and that might be the truth. If that's the truth, you don't want to lie and say that. You want to say it if it's the truth.
Robyn
But I don't know.
Sponsor Voice
I feel like in.
Robyn
In the beginning is when the feelings are the most intense. So you would know, like, I'm. I'm in love with this person.
Cutter
You're just someone especially. Especially if that comes out and you're not there. That almost, like, poisons it. Like, it's over. I'm never gonna agree.
Jamie
Jamie, you're just very different than other people, including me. I'm saying me where, like, you don't have a guard up. I have a guard up. So when you're like, oh, the feelings in the first two weeks, that's when it's all there. Not for me. It's when I can, like, trust someone. When I could be like, oh, you're in my apartment. I could just leave. And I'm not thinking.
Robyn
That's my problem.
Jamie
Right. That's what I'm saying.
Robyn
To earn my trust.
Jamie
You have no go. Yeah, someone doesn't need to earn your trust. I'm like, yeah, I really need. That's why, like, some of my favorite, like, relationships have been somebody who I knew for years before. Because right away I'm like, I know I could trust this person. Like, I know how they operate and I'm attracted to that. That's the best. We're like, if I'm just meeting somebody off of a fucking app, like, I'm like, like I'm like watching them when they're like walking around my apartment. You know what I mean? I'm like, I don't trust. I have a full guard up. So like, that is a true statement for me. Being like, hey, listen, I care about you, but I'm just not there yet. Would be, would be true. I wouldn't be like, let's see, what are the other ones?
Cutter
But to say yet implies that it's coming, right?
Jamie
Well, but it could come. That it could come. I would only say that if somebody said I love you to me and I didn't care about them at all. That's not the response. I'm saying if the true response is, hey, I care about you, I'm just not there yet. That's, that's, I think that's a good response. Guys, the holidays are right around the corner.

Robyn
It still sting a little.
Jamie
Oh, and there is. The whole point is I don't think there's anything you could say where it doesn't sting. Is there anything you could say?
Robyn
No. But still no, of course.
Jamie
Okay. You want to go sushi? You want to go sushi? I love you like you want some sushi?
Robyn
You want some expensive sushi?
Jamie
Yeah. You want omasake? That means a lot. Okay, another. Another answer is that means a lot to hear. Oof. That. That doesn't sound. That means a lot to hear. I'm still figuring out how I feel. And I want to be honest with you as I do.
Robyn
What would you say if a girl. Okay, don't look at the screen. If a girl.
Jamie
I'm not gonna take. I'm not gonna cheat. What is this, fifth grade?
Robyn
Have you seen those memes, though, or not memes? Or those, like, reels of people that use chat GBT for everything? So, like, they walk in a store and they, like, see a cashier, and they look down to see what to say, and then the cashier's down asking, that's gonna be us soon. But so if a girl was like, the girl that you're definitely enjoying dating, it's seeming like it's going well. It's two months in, and she was like, you had just had great sex. You had a great. That's tough because I want to really.
Jamie
Set the stage here and way to know my order. I go, I go, sex, then dinner.
Robyn
Yes.
Jamie
She knows me so well.
Robyn
Because you don't want to be full when you're having sex. I know you. So then. And she's like, I think I'm falling in love with you. Like, this has been going so great. I'm so happy. Like, what do you do that I'd.
Jamie
Go, listen, I'm so full right now. Ah, man. It's. It's really. I think it really depends on the situation. It depends on the person and my. And our, like. But I think I would. I would go, you're into this girl.
Robyn
You're into her.
Jamie
I know, but I'm saying, like, what our dynamic is. Like, do we joke a lot? Do we are.
Robyn
Yeah, she's perfect.
Jamie
Yeah. I think what. What I would lean on is like, listen, I always want to be honest with you, and I don't wanna. I don't want us to be getting married one day and me know deep down that I said I love you to you when I wasn't ready.
Robyn
Okay, keep going.
Jamie
I'm saying that. So. So I'd be like, I. I just don't want to lie right now and say that I love you if. If I'm not there. And like, I. What did chat GBT safe. I'm not there yet. If I'm. If I'm not, like, I don't know. I would say something like that.
Robyn
I'd be like, here's my advice. I think you should say, I never say I love you this early. Like, this is. It's like, not just you like, but.
Jamie
That is, that is such a harsh cut off to someone who just said the most.
Robyn
I would rather hear that than just. I would hear. Rather hear that and know that this is historically how you are than what you just said.
Jamie
Yeah, that's the thing too, is like, I could say, yeah, that's a good, that's a good advice. Where I could be like, I, I don't.
Robyn
Man, you're so flustered for the first time. You're speechless.
Jamie
Yeah, I'm trying to think of the right thing to say. And in my head I'm like, I don't think they're. I think it's all.
Robyn
I think being don't. You don't have to be like, I don't want to regret this one day. Just be like, I, this is not, this is just that type of feeling. Saying that type of stuff just never comes this early for me. Like, I, that's good. I feel great about us in our relationship, but this is just like, yeah, I, I would just really just make it very clear. This is who you are and how you are versus, like regretting saying I love you too early. Why would you ever. If you're getting married, why would you regret that you said I love you too early?
Jamie
Because I was lying when I said it.
Robyn
Okay?
Jamie
That's what I'm saying. I don't want to lie in the moment and say I love somebody if I don't, because then years later I don't want to be, okay, remember, I lied. I was lying there.
Robyn
I just feel like always like putting on you be like, I'm fud up. I'm weird. Like, it takes me a long time.
Jamie
But here's the problem. That moment is so vulner that I want to go. Like in. I don't want to go if someone's like, I love you, I'll be like, I'm weird, like, I'm kooky because they won't love me anymore. That's an awful, I think that's an awful way to deal with it. I think I would want to be like, you know, like, kind of go in more and be like, listen, I care about you so much, and if we're gonna have a future, I don't want one day for it to seem like if I know that I'm lying right now or saying something that I don't mean, like, I don't. I don't want to regret it. So, like. But I listen again, I don't, I just don't think there's a good and no Matter how I say this, it makes me feel like. Yeah, it's just like a squirmy. What else did they say? I think we're in different places emotionally. That's kind of. I don't want to hurt you, but I also don't want to give the wrong impression about where I stand. Yeah, that. That seems like AI talking. I don't want to give the wrong impression about where I stand. If a guy says that, he's just done. Right, Jamie.
Robyn
Yeah.
Jamie
Yeah. I don't want to give. Honestly, it's ultimately the kindest thing to do in the long run, even if it's straight in the moment. Yeah. Okay. Let's turn this pot on its head. Let's go to. So, Jamie, I saw this clip that makes me laugh so hard, and it's. I'll just show it to you. It's a guy on a. On a playground here. Sorry. For those who are just listening.
Robyn
No, no, this is too much. Oh, no. He's gonna go flying. What the hell? How is he still on there? And why is only one leg dead? What? What happened to the one leg? Oh, my God. Is he alive? I don't like that.
Jamie
That is so crazy.
Robyn
I'm so upset. He's gonna have. He's never the same. What's happening?
Jamie
That's what I'm saying, that I would think. You're never the same, too.
Robyn
He's ruined himself.
Jamie
How are you not dead?
Robyn
He's dead. Oh, this is in another country.
Jamie
That's why he's not dead.
Robyn
No, that's why he doing that.
Jamie
I would think that. I. I don't know how.
Robyn
Look at his foot.
Jamie
I don't know how that thing lasts.
Robyn
Why is he making it keep going? Someone stop him. Oh. Oh.
Jamie
If somebody steps in, they're getting rocked.
Robyn
This is like what happens when you go to space. And people have to train for months to make sure that they can handle that.
Jamie
Come.
Robyn
What's h. Okay. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. No mo.
Jamie
I'm a little dizzy. I'm a little dizzy just from watching.
Robyn
I can't look away multiple times.
Jamie
I can't imagine. I don't know how this guy's. But by the way, you know how football players get, like, brain damage? And he's got it. He's got to have a problem.
Robyn
That's what I mean. He's up for life.
Jamie
When he's 50, he's gonna be like, drinking out of a straw. Right? Look at his face.
Robyn
This almost Was worse than the Cheese wheel.
Jamie
People look at this guy's face, James.
Robyn
His.
Jamie
He's. He's in another dimension, right?
Robyn
Faces. His skin. He's fucked up his skin. He needs a facelift after this.
Jamie
You know where he is right now? He's in the bookshelf where Matthew McConaughey ends up in. What movie is that?
Cutter
Interstellar.
Jamie
Interstellar, yeah. He's in the bookshelf right now. He's like, don't do it. You know, this guy's fucking gone.
Robyn
Oh, yeah.
Jamie
I would love. You know what I would love? I would love to interview him right. When he's done with that and be like, hey, what would you do if a girl says, I love you and you don't love her back? And be excited.
Robyn
He's not going to speak English. Yeah, well, speak words rather.
Jamie
Yeah. Maybe you come up with. Maybe that's how you come up with the. The true answer to things in life. You got to. You. You do that, and then right away you answer. Maybe he'll know.
Robyn
I don't. I can't imagine him living many days past this.
Jamie
I don't think so either. Yeah, imagine, like he's got to do other crazy shit too, right? If this is. This isn't just the only. So this reminded me of a thing from ymh, a clip from YMH that makes me laugh every time. I hope you've never seen this, Jamie, because it gets me every time. So while everyone else is just.
Robyn
Everyone's okay and hers is not. No. Is it because of how big she is? Is it.
Jamie
I don't know. I'm not a ride technician. But she looks a little.
Robyn
This is so bad. Why didn't they stop it?
Jamie
I think she's having fun.
Robyn
No. Is there audio? There's no audio.
Jamie
Oh, no. But they would have alerted her before getting on the ride if she was too big. They tell you if you're too big. I don't think she's too big.
Robyn
The alarm, the lights are. Oh, good, they're stopping it. Oh, my God.
Jamie
See, she needs to do what the other guy didn't. Go back the other way. Oh, I love that.
Robyn
Wow. Yeah, that was.
Jamie
Sorry. For any listeners, we're watching clips, but let's. Do we have a. A memory lane to cleanse the palette a little bit here?
Robyn
Oh, I remember this. Robbie, you look so good.
Jamie
Oh, thank you. I almost looked tall.
Robyn
I was very newly pregnant with Jack there. Really wasn't telling anyone. Yes.
Jamie
Oh, did I know.
Robyn
Tiny, little bumpy under my jacket. Yes. You probably know this was like the ca. It was something like the Cable hall of Fame or something.
Jamie
Yeah.
Robyn
So this had to been 2017, because I gave birth in 2018.
Jamie
Tony Sirico. Is this the last time we saw Tony?
Robyn
Maybe.
Jamie
Yeah, it might have been. Yeah.
Robyn
No, he was at. Yeah, yeah. No.
Jamie
Yeah, yeah. Right.
Robyn
Yeah. And this was in Washington, D.C. david.
Jamie
Chase was getting an award.
Robyn
Or HBO was David.
Jamie
Or the Surprise.
Robyn
Or the show. David and the show, maybe.
Jamie
Yeah. Yeah.
Robyn
Are we right? Maybe this was. So if this was newly pregnant, maybe this is like June. April, 2017. April. Okay. So I was just. Just pregnant.
Jamie
Do you have the name of the award show thing?
Robyn
It just says Cable hall of Fame.
Jamie
Damn, James, she's so good. Yeah.
Robyn
Yep. That was us there.
Jamie
Yeah, this is us, Rob.
Robyn
I like that hair.
Jamie
Oh, thank you. So you're how many months pregnant?
Sponsor Voice
Weeks.
Robyn
Like, not even. I got pregnant early April or late March.
Jamie
Wow.
Robyn
It was. I was like. I remember we were trying. We didn't try the first time, so we had never experienced that. It was like my first month trying. We were at a wedding and I was like, cut her. Today's the day. He, like, hated, like, the appointment sex. Like, whatever about it.
Jamie
Now, now he'd love it.
Robyn
He would.
Jamie
He would do anything for some appointment sex.
Robyn
And I swear to God, when we finished, I felt like a light switch go off inside my. But I was like, I'm pregnant. He's like, you're fucking crazy. I was like, I'm telling you, it literally felt like. And I was like, I'm pregnant.
Jamie
What position? How do you let people want to know out there? People want to. People want the light switch to go off to get pregnant.
Robyn
I. I'm not sharing the position that we were in. I don't think that's what did it.
Jamie
I just knew it was some crazy position you don't want to talk about. Huh?
Robyn
It definitely wasn't crazy. It's pretty much on the standard top three positions.
Jamie
It was doggy, guys. It was doggy. Come on. Yeah, Jamie didn't want to say doggy. It was doggy. Listen, it's the doggy dog world out there, you know?
Robyn
Yeah, that's Jack. So. Yeah.
Jamie
Oh, Jack. Yeah. I didn't even put it together.
Robyn
Well, you don't track.
Jamie
You don't. You don't know it tracks. Yeah. You don't know. You know, because I'm sure you had other sex around there. But.
Robyn
But, you know, it was the night. It was. No, we knew because it was like, then. And then I got I knew it. Found out I was pregnant. Yeah. Like a few weeks later.
Jamie
And how long after, like, if you feel like a woman, a light switch go off like that. How long before a test says, yes, you are? Four weeks.
Robyn
But I knew that whole time.
Jamie
Wow. And you're like, I gotta stop smoking weed. Right.
Robyn
I think I stopped by then.
Jamie
That light switch was just so much guilt. Right. You're like, well, I don't know for sure how. Yeah. Like three days later, you're talking yourself out of it. You're like, I don't know.
Robyn
Before I stopped. Like a month or two before.
Jamie
Yeah. So they say before you try and get pregnant, you should stop smoking weed. Yeah, but what about alcohol? They say it's fine.
Robyn
Well, I don't drink alcohol, so I don't know.
Jamie
But other people. But they don't give you advice on that.
Robyn
I mean, many people get drunk and get pregnant.
Jamie
I think most.
Robyn
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't think there's. I mean, I think. I'm not a doctor, but maybe if you're having fertility issues, you just want to be, like, as clean as possible. But I don't think. I don't know if alcohol plays as much of a part in worrying about a fetus as weed does.
Jamie
Yeah. All right, well, listen, that's. You learn. You learn things.
Robyn
We talked about dating, getting pregnant.
Jamie
Doggy. We talked about doggy style. Overweight ladies spinning out of control on rides. What else did we cover today?
Robyn
What you're gonna do next time somebody says I love you. Yeah.
Jamie
How to. How to let them down. Let them down gently.
Robyn
Let them down easy.
Jamie
Yeah. All right, we'll see you guys. How do we say goodbye? I don't.
Robyn

Jamie
Two and two. No, but that was a commercial.
Robyn
No, how do you used to end Love connection? Can we look it up and I'll do it.
Jamie

Robyn
Keep.
Jamie
Keep up the doggy.

Podcast Summary: "Dating Apps Are Completely Broken Now" | Not Today, Pal with Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler
YMH Studios | November 20, 2025
This episode of Not Today, Pal delves into dating in the digital landscape, focusing on the pair’s real-life gripes and misadventures with dating apps and relationships. As former Sopranos siblings, Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler bring their sharply contrasting personalities to honest, funny, and sometimes vulnerable conversations about love, filtered expectations, dating disasters, and searching for common ground in the chaos of the modern romance arena.
The podcast maintains its hallmark balance of sincere reflection and sharp-edged humor throughout—Jamie’s warmth and Rob’s Oscar-the-Grouch cynicism set against real-life relationship and dating scenarios. Listeners are treated to a rare mix of candid storytelling and playful ribbing, with both hosts openly revealing insecurities and moving quickly between gravitas and laughter.
In Summary:
The episode offers a funny yet honest look at why dating apps feel broken for so many, especially those who don’t fit the adventurous mold; the real awkwardness of first dates; emotional pitfalls of opening up too soon; and why, sometimes, the best relationships are the ones that manage to find humor in life’s messiest moments.
