5. Advice Calls (Listener Questions)

a) Navigating Sexual Communication (Butthole Edition)

• A caller asks for help with his wife who climaxes more intensely when he touches her “butthole,” but claims not to like it.
  • The trio urge more direct, mature communication before or after sex—but never in the heat of the moment if it brings discomfort.
  • Memorable moment:
    • “Her body’s telling me one thing, her mouth’s telling me another.”

d) Male-Dominated Workplace Gossip

• A woman asks if she should address an employee’s gossip about her being “too friendly” with men who’ve hit on her at work.
  • Advice: Don’t let the comment affect your professionalism or change your demeanor; if the rumors escalate, sit him down as his boss and address it assertively.
  • “You have to drop your nuts on this guy a little bit, personally.” – Stavi (97:40)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On bullying and self-defense:

• On parental support:
  “My mom bought a studio apartment. It’s a room. Your mom’s packing up her bindle and putting—literally, and eight Guatemalans are packing up his mom’s home.” – Stavi (50:19–50:26)

• On advice:
  “The right thing to do is to talk to your sister-in-law completely privately. It is not about what other people think...even though that zinger doesn’t exist. You should sacrifice this great zinger to be a better brother-in-law.” – Stavi (76:05)

[Edie Modica]

Honestly, when I saw Katherine Cohen had it on there years ago and I remember being like, oh, shit.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Oh, fuck, she's putting her.

[Edie Modica]

But now I'm like, it's a reputable website. Yeah. Run by the big Charlotte people.

[Stavi]

Is that so?

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Stavi]

Marilyn Brothers. Oh, well, you didn't say. You didn't lead with that.

[Edie Modica]

Well, I just found it out quite

[Stavi]

recently that it's fucking. What's. What are their name? Waldorf, Maryland Zone.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, Waldorf.

[Stavi]

Waldorf, Maryland.

[Marley Goddard]

Real playing with dirt.

[Stavi]

Real white trash stuff.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, Waldorf, like place.

[Stavi]

Waldorf, yes, yes.

[Marley Goddard]

Okay.

[Stavi]

Waldorf chicken. Which is funny because the Waldorf. Yeah, that is true, because those are fancy. But Waldorf, Maryland is. It's maybe the worst white trash.

[Edie Modica]

Really.

[Stavi]

It's a very specific kind. I wouldn't say white.

[Marley Goddard]

Like what.

[Stavi]

It's kind of like it's getting southern. It's like regular, like, like east coast city white trash with like a southern twist to it, you know, because they're in there a little. They're a little further away from major cities. It's kind of between D.C. it's, you know, it's like sort of a D.C. suburb, but not really. It's not really near anything with real culture. So, you know. Yeah, yeah, white trash.

[Marley Goddard]

Come on. D.C. has culture.

[Stavi]

D.C. is disgusting. This is one of the worst fucking towns of all. I mean, it's. It does have culture because of the museums and shit.

[Marley Goddard]

But, man, the spy museum, that's my culture. That's my.

[Stavi]

That's a good ass museum. When you're, when you're a child, spy museum is where you want to go.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, that's true. I mean, I haven't been there as an adult, but I'm sure it's still. Is fire. They got the little microphones. They were first on the little microphone.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Yes, the spy museum. I bet you it holds up I haven't been in. I haven't been in a while either. The rest of it, though, the Smithsonian, that's pretty good. But. But anyway, Waldorf and the Good Charlotte Brothers. Actually, I just changed my mind.

[Caller]

You.

[Stavi]

Where did you grow up? Mar. Really?

[Marley Goddard]

Western Massachusetts.

[Stavi]

Western Mass. So we're talking.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, kind of like small town. No, no, that's eastern, but western because it's not Boston. So I'm like, you're the real deal. New York. Yeah, it's like so far west.

[Stavi]

So far west that it's. That it also feels like. It feels like a completely different place.

[Marley Goddard]

It's like, it's really. It's a beautiful, sad, lonely place. But in the summer, it's like a lot of, you know, New Yorker kind of culture of like theater and arts and stuff. I'm actually there right now because I'm working at this camp for mostly, let's say autistic transgender teenagers.

[Stavi]

Wow. Awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

They're furries. They like magic the Gathering.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah, it looks amazing.

[Marley Goddard]

It's pretty much such a special place. And it's sad that I grew up 30 minutes from there and I had

[Stavi]

no idea at a crazy that was going on. That's like, that's not new.

[Marley Goddard]

I would be totally different if I went there.

[Stavi]

That's like. If Harry Potter grew up four minutes from Hogwarts and had no idea, it's

[Marley Goddard]

definitely like Harry Potter. It's like J.K. rowling. Yeah. I am literally like J.K. rowling. Like, I'm serving J.K. rowling down.

[Stavi]

Hell yeah. What's the programming for the. For the little autistic teenagers?

[Marley Goddard]

I'm actually gonna do comedy with them this week. So we're gonna do comedy. Like comedy writing. And then they want to do a comedy show. But I also do like drag stuff as well. But I'm also gonna do World cup soccer.

[Stavi]

Okay.

[Marley Goddard]

They have to run because they all have canes. They all have fake. They're fake bedazzled.

[Stavi]

Even the teens have fake health problems.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, more so then it's like they're

[Stavi]

a lot of K20, a lot of N masks. N24 masks.

[Marley Goddard]

Maybe 24 as well. Yeah, they got the masks. They have the. We have the white kid. The hijabi white kid.

[Stavi]

Of course, of course. Of course.

[Marley Goddard]

We have all of it. And it's so special. It's so special. And they're like all such geniuses.

[Stavi]

That's awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

But like, I'm kind of there of being like. Cuz I went to like a sports camp growing up. So I'm like, let's run. I'm like kicking their canes and making.

[Stavi]

Yeah, that is. I like that because that's like. That's like you kind of. You bully them almost like an acceptable amount that they can get over, you know, it's like, like, like what a vaccine is, where it's like a little bit of the disease, a little dose. They do need to be bullied a little bit.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Stavi]

The world will bully them.

[Edie Modica]

Too much of a utopia. Then they're going to go back and it's exactly like.

[Marley Goddard]

It's like they come from Anti Vaxville and I'm vaccinating the.

[Stavi]

Right, right, right, right.

[Edie Modica]

Are they kissing?

[Stavi]

Oh, that's a great question. Yeah, awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

They are. They're in like, there's like t. Boy polycules for.

[Stavi]

It's like,

[Marley Goddard]

It's. Oh.

[Stavi]

I remember going to camp and thinking it was going to be like everything you heard about where it's like, people. Because all my friends that went to, like, Jewish camp, they were all getting jerked off. That seemed to be classic, right? And then I went to Christian.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, sorry not to butt in there. They're getting jerked off by the other guys. The girls aren't jerking them off.

[Stavi]

That's the Jewish camp.

[Marley Goddard]

The guys are jerking off.

[Stavi]

Is that maybe your experience at Jewish camp?

[Marley Goddard]

Let me check.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm like, no, the closeted women are jerking off all the guys.

[Stavi]

Because I didn't hear that much about that. I'm not, you know, I don't want to. Because to me, that was not that big a sell as a eighth grader. I was. If they were like, oh, we're all

[Edie Modica]

jerking each other off, you wouldn't take it from anyone.

[Stavi]

Maybe if you caught me, there were.

[Marley Goddard]

I would have got you.

[Stavi]

Yeah, maybe. Maybe if a secret girl at the time, you know what I mean? Like, if I could have picked up on that energy, perhaps everybody. Because I'm an empath, I could have told you. I was like, no. Something about this guy. I don't know, man. Let's check back in 10 years. And maybe I'm not gay after all. Maybe I'm not gay. Technicality.

[Marley Goddard]

I knew it. I knew there was something normal about me.

[Stavi]

Shaking on the.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

The guy that jerked me off in middle school being like, come on, trans.

[Caller]

Come on.

[Marley Goddard]

Wow, that is killing me. Well, it's funny you say that because everybody that went to my camp, like, was from Baltimore.

[Stavi]

Oh, wow.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

It was like a heavy Baltimore. That's how I know exactly.

[Stavi]

Oh, my. Yeah. Exactly. The middle. Yeah. I wonder if. Let's compare notes.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

I'll go through my middle school.

[Marley Goddard]

No, I definitely. And I'll draw their dick.

[Stavi]

That's who I heard it from, though. These kids that would go to, like, these Baltimore. Like, my Jewish friends who. The reasons I even, like, went to a bar mitzvah, you know, those guys, they were coming. They would come home. They would come in the fall with awesome stories about getting jerked off. And I had been in Greece, getting tan, eating gyros. I had a good summer, too.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

But I wasn't getting jerked off, unfortunately. So then I asked my parents. I was like, there was a Greek. There's, like, a vacation. There's, like, a Greek. They called it csc. Something Christian. Something Christian Summer Camp. Is that. Is it that easy?

[Marley Goddard]

Christian Summer. CS Christian.

[Stavi]

But anyway, doesn't matter. The acronym does not matter whatsoever. I went there, and it just. Yeah, it was just kind of boring, dad. Yeah. It was like they were actually teaching us Bible shit. And I was like, what were there? I thought this was just a pretense. There were girls. Yeah. Yeah. But I don't think anybody even. Like, the cool guys weren't really getting drunk. They're maybe kissing, and it's like, we're getting. We're letting these Jews embarrass us.

[Marley Goddard]

I know.

[Stavi]

Like, we're supposed to be.

[Edie Modica]

Theater camp. Stuff went down, too.

[Stavi]

I know.

[Edie Modica]

Because there would be, like, two straight guys.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

We used to moan in this one guy's ear.

[Stavi]

Oh, my God.

[Edie Modica]

And he would get.

[Marley Goddard]

He.

[Edie Modica]

He was in once on this island. This is, like, a rumor that, like, he was lying down in, like, the dress and once on this island and got a boner. And that's what made it known. It was like, oh, so he's the guy we should, like, go for.

[Marley Goddard]

Right? He's boner guy.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Stavi]

Wow.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

This is pissing me off, too, because I had a moment where I decided I was gonna pretend to be a cool jock guy in middle school. Like, I didn't. I've said this. I've said this a hundred times. Feels like on this recently. It feels like I tell this story every episode. But anyway, I did not get the part in you're a good Man, Charlie Brown. And then I was like, acting's gay. Actually, I'm a jock. And I quit. But now I was hearing these stories. It's like, I. My life was so clear. What I should have done was be the straight guy in theater camp.

[Edie Modica]

Yes. And obviously would have been a star. And all of the girls would have been like, oh, my.

[Stavi]

Because I'm like, look at my life at that.

[Marley Goddard]

Kind of you now.

[Stavi]

Yeah, exactly. But I needed it as a. You know, what? If I'd done it, then I'd be like, no, I'd be a lawyer.

[Marley Goddard]

Honestly, I would be a lawyer. You'd honestly probably be toxic and not, like, you wouldn't have that suffering in this.

[Stavi]

That's true. I needed to suffer at that point. At that point in my life.

[Marley Goddard]

Were you bullied?

[Stavi]

I was bullied up until I realized there was, like, a moment it was these same. These same Jewish guys who would talk about, like, they would come, they would talk about it, and then they would. They. They bullied.

[Marley Goddard]

Such Jewish trauma.

[Stavi]

I do, I do.

[Marley Goddard]

I love it.

[Stavi]

Well, no, there was these specific. It's just these specific guys who. Like this one kid who would brag about, you know, whatever, and then he would. I would get bullied. And then at a certain point, I realized, like, wait, why don't I just bully them? Like, there was like a. There was a clear turning point where I was like, right, what are we doing?

[Marley Goddard]

You, like, take out the pennies and start, like, shoving them.

[Stavi]

Yeah, exactly. I was like, wait a second. You're small. You're like a little guy. I'm at least a fat guy.

[Edie Modica]

And then people are like, yeah, yeah.

[Stavi]

And then it's also the thing where you don't know you're going to be good at something. But I didn't know the cruelty that I had that I keep at bay now at all times, but that allows me to roast people effectively. I had no idea I had that in me. Until you're forced to. Until you've just. Yeah, until you've just been called a fat pig too many times in a row. Then you're like, wait, I'm just going to flame you.

[Marley Goddard]

Right?

[Stavi]

Yeah. Your fucking parents divorced. I feel like, wait a second. I just remember. Your fucking parents divorce. Your mom has huge tits, and I can talk about how awesome they are and how much we all want to suck.

[Edie Modica]

I feel like being mean. I realized how funny that was, and then I went too far and, like, hurt someone close to me.

[Stavi]

Oh, absolutely.

[Edie Modica]

Then I was like, okay, okay.

[Stavi]

I had my. My English teacher, middle school, like, in sixth grade, I was like, the fat, little bullied kid that she had to, like, shelter. And in eighth grade, she was like, I am ashamed of. Like, she was like, you are not the young man I knew in six because I was lighting kids up in eighth grade.

[Marley Goddard]

That's probably, like, hard for a teacher.

[Stavi]

Yeah, that must have been. She's like, I nurtured this. This little boy until he became a monster.

[Marley Goddard]

No, I know. It's like I definitely was like, calling people, and then one day I was like, wait, what if I am that? And then also it's like, I would. I mean, I don't know if this was y', all, but it was like. It was like Facebook, sixth grade. Like, I was like, I think I was the first cyber bully. I do think I was the first cyber bully, but in a way that it was like, you know, I'm having some conversations with, like, the one other person in Latin class. Like the other nerd.

[Stavi]

Right?

[Marley Goddard]

Like the other Jewish nerd. I'm bullying the other Jewish.

[Stavi]

Right, right, right, right, right. And that's how it had to be. That was what it was for me as well. It was like, I went to Baltimore city public schools and I was like, well, I'm at least going to be the coolest white guy.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

I'm not gonna let other white people believe me. Are you fucking kidding me? And so that was really. That was a nice. I was like, oh, yeah, well, you're

[Marley Goddard]

calling Jewish people white.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah. At the time, this was pre Trump. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the 2000s, you gu in there and then, you know, you guys. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

But you're getting your hums off. So.

[Edie Modica]

I am. I have a hamza tattoo on my foot. It needs to go giving Israel. It's the hands with the eye.

[Stavi]

The hand with the eyes.

[Edie Modica]

It was my first tattoo. I was. Yes, literally. I found it on Google Images. You can probably find it.

[Marley Goddard]

My cousin, his. His first tattoo when he turned 18, went to the Marines. Huge hams on.

[Stavi]

Yeah, like spiritual Marine. I'm a Marine that's been to Burning Man.

[Marley Goddard]

Don't bring up Burning man to me.

[Stavi]

So hamza. See, I. To me, I would not. I don't associate with this, with Israel at all. To me, this, like, vaguely Indian. You know what I mean? Like yoga, eat, pray, love type white women.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

I literally think I saw it and I was like, that is so cool.

[Caller]

Right?

[Edie Modica]

And I love that. I'm a Jewish girl, right? And I'm gonna. I need that the Second I turn 18. I need on my foot. And I was like, hand on my foot. Like, that was a part of it.

[Marley Goddard]

My hand on my foot.

[Edie Modica]

And now when I see, like, people who have this, it's like, oh, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

No, it was co opted. Like, I do. Because the evil eye Is also like I feel like in other cultures used. And then I think. Yeah, I think Hamza is used in Jewish culture.

[Edie Modica]

But no. What is it protective?

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, it's protective. Yeah. Evil eye. It's like talk to the hand kind

[Stavi]

of the evil eye is like it gets the evil. Because Greeks love the evil eye. And that's purely like if somebody's talking shit, it's basically a shit talking deflector.

[Caller]

Basically.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah, yeah.

[Stavi]

For real.

[Caller]

For real.

[Stavi]

And. And you're. And my grandma, she would do the. They would call it the someone has eyed you, you've been sehun matiaxi. And then they di you is what they call it. And so my grandma will just be like. And she'll just be like under her breath saying like incantations. Like it's so clearly old folk lore that they had that they had to like shimmy into Christianity to like convince whatever mountain people they like a thousand years ago. It's so clearly leftover of like, oh, we have to shoot like you know, energy at you to get the evil eye off you and like the evil eyes of talisman. But I. We have. No, we don't. We don't throw the hand in there.

[Marley Goddard]

So it's also a bird, so.

[Stavi]

Oh, and it's a bird as well. God forbid you look up the Wikipedia for Hamza, you idiot. Like what is this thing? Huh? You picked up the picture immediately. But God forbid you do a little producing.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, it's Arabic. Yeah, well, because they were all the

[Edie Modica]

same off my foot.

[Stavi]

So it is Israeli because it's actually Arabic thing they stole.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, Colonial nickname from an era. It's.

[Stavi]

It's gotcha. Gotcha.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, colonization. But I think it comes from probably like Aramaic.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, yeah, you should get it off your foot.

[Edie Modica]

It's almost gone. Yeah, it's almost gone.

[Stavi]

Yeah, you don't want to have a stupid tattoo on your body. God forbid.

[Edie Modica]

These are badass. That's my.

[Marley Goddard]

What is a car in?

[Stavi]

We got pizza the set. That one's awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

I know. Can we do tattoo Tattoo tour the.

[Stavi]

The juice bu. Oh, it's.

[Edie Modica]

He calls me half pint because I'm small. Adorable.

[Stavi]

That is cute. All right, I take it back.

[Edie Modica]

This for my mom. This one's good.

[Stavi]

What is that?

[Edie Modica]

This one's cool. My mom, when I was a kid, I was like my ass itches like I was itchy on the street. So she pulled me into a storefront and scratched my ass for me. So we go like this to each other cuz it's like mother's love. And I got it on

[Marley Goddard]

me as a mother with acrylic nails.

[Stavi]

Your mother scratching your ass as a child. That's what that is.

[Marley Goddard]

Why couldn't you do it yourself?

[Edie Modica]

I wanted her to do it, and she did it because I asked.

[Stavi]

So cute. You could even reach it. It wasn't like you couldn't get to it.

[Edie Modica]

I could get. I was like, can you?

[Marley Goddard]

I mean, there's something about a mother's love where it's like, you will. Like, I. For the first time. It's been a long. But I sent a picture of my an to my mother. There was. Yeah, there was a couple things in and around it

[Stavi]

and.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah. So there. But, you know, we're all clear now.

[Stavi]

And your mom's a doctor or.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, she literally is.

[Stavi]

Okay, cool.

[Marley Goddard]

So she is an amazing doctor. And, like, she. I didn't need to. I didn't need to say and all. Then she prescribed me the wrong medication. So her.

[Stavi]

Interesting.

[Marley Goddard]

Just kidding. I love you, mother.

[Stavi]

That's got to be nice, though, Mom. Doctor. Yeah. How does that affect you as a little kid?

[Marley Goddard]

Well, she was like an ayurvedic doctor, so it was like, like kind of ancient Indian, like medicine. No, Fully Hamza style. So it was like I wasn't taking medications that much.

[Stavi]

Okay, okay.

[Marley Goddard]

I was.

[Stavi]

So your mom wasn't a doctor, right?

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, she was more of an astrologer.

[Stavi]

Whoa. That's fascinating.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah. But she's. She's going. Why? I was saying, don't bring up Burning Man. She's going for her second time this year.

[Edie Modica]

Oh, my God.

[Marley Goddard]

She invited me up here. She was sending me video. They do, like, there's like a Stand up. There's like a. There's Stand up and Burning Man.

[Stavi]

Stand up at Burning Man.

[Marley Goddard]

And they have, like, a fake brick wall. Oh, it's like in a dust storm.

[Stavi]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

I know. We should do it.

[Stavi]

Who's doing. Who's doing the show? It's at Burning Man. Eldest, check that out. Stand up at Burning Man.

[Edie Modica]

Ma'.

[Caller]

Am.

[Marley Goddard]

Burning Ma' am. Clocking the wrong eye at Burning Man.

[Stavi]

That's all right. We can look this up later. Someday we'll get there. Someday we'll be. We'll be lucky to do stand up.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, I think we can. I think Veep will sponsor At Burning Man. Is it one V per month? No, we have to keep saying it because that's going to get people.

[Edie Modica]

I know.

[Marley Goddard]

Wait, Veep or veeps?

[Edie Modica]

Veeps.

[Marley Goddard]

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, the look, like, doesn't she look so good? It's like, I'm like, you need to be on a big screen every day.

[Edie Modica]

That's kind of what I wanted. Like, because I like not. We were talking about this in the car. I don't like to lead with hot.

[Stavi]

Right.

[Edie Modica]

Because I'm just like, it annoys me or I get mad when people are leading with hot because it makes me feel bad.

[Stavi]

I think no one should lead with hot.

[Edie Modica]

I think some people can.

[Stavi]

Sure.

[Edie Modica]

And make it fun. But there's some people you can tell,

[Marley Goddard]

like through the phone. Genuine nefarious. Yeah, like, I think there is like, like putting it.

[Edie Modica]

You can't, but I can.

[Stavi]

Okay. When you're saying it's nefarious, you mean hot. So you're saying lead with hot. Because as long as you're not. What you're saying is there's a hint of. Let me see if I know what you're saying. The nefarious is I'm hot. And there's an implied like, maybe you could fuck me if things go my way. Or like you're using. Are you. When you're saying it's nefarious, it's like, are they. Is the hot person sort of like implicitly trying to lead on their audience? Is that what you're saying?

[Marley Goddard]

Or.

[Edie Modica]

No, you're putting. There's a way where you can make women feel bad by how you're looking hot. Do you know what I'm saying?

[Marley Goddard]

I mean, it's like literally, it's like, it's more.

[Edie Modica]

You can.

[Marley Goddard]

It's like skinny. It's like, like these types of things that it's like, I'm going to put on to make you strive for. And I think some people can use it serious as a wall to be like, what I'm saying is not actually that funny. And so it's like we are at this point where it's like, okay, we, you know, we have like hot comedians. Yes, we have. And I think that's always been the case. But it's like, well, hasn't it been, you know, why can't we just wear like pants and a T shirt, right? And it's like, well, now it's like such like, you have to be.

[Stavi]

It's true.

[Marley Goddard]

A multi hyphenate of everything where it's like, model, actress, comedian, influencer, magician. Yeah, prostitute.

[Stavi]

This sounds like a really cool person.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm like, that's my job. It's us.

[Edie Modica]

It's all we're doing.

[Marley Goddard]

We're here, 10 bucks for a blow job.

[Stavi]

And then, and then like, and then it's like the nut comes out of my mouth. You're a really good sex worker slash magician.

[Edie Modica]

Yes. No, literally now pay 19.99.

[Stavi]

So you're saying there's like a. I, I, maybe there's another thing where it's like, maybe this is maybe the same thing. But something I've noticed is that there's also. You really overdo it when you're doing some big. Like, I try and avoid it too. Where it's like, I don't want to not be myself. I don't want to be so, like spend all this money on like wearing clothes I would never wear.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Stavi]

And if you're a woman, like I.

[Edie Modica]

This now.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And for women, it's even more like, you could go super glam with it if you wanted to or like super over the top. And it's like, who the is that? That's not. Yeah, the person there is. That is something with specials in general that I think about where it's like, it should still be the way you. It should just be the best version of this material. Not a complete put upon thing that you're trying to trick people into thinking who you are.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Edie Modica]

I also feel like personally I'm trying to be like, I want to be accessible and make people feel good about themselves. Like, that's why I'm doing it. So I don't know, I don't want to be like, Like, I don't want you to be thinking about sex. I do look good in the special.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, but like, yeah, I'm like, I'm thinking about sex the whole time.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm like, I'm watching your fingers like on your.

[Stavi]

Like everybody talks about you jacking off,

[Marley Goddard]

getting jacked off, but it is joy and relatable. You just happen to also be beautiful and sexy. Where I think it's like personal. It gets like your family, like a couple cuts to your family. Like, it's like you're talking about like

[Stavi]

your parents being right there is awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

No, it's like it's so. And I love it. Personal. It's. And it's where it's like, I think be with like there can be this wall where it's like, oh, it's actually not personal. Like anybody could be saying it. Where it's like yours is like the narrative, the artistry, the aesthetic, like, is so you and nobody else could.

[Stavi]

That's a really good point that like, that you could. Because there's a way to just be generic hot that completely washes over any of the stuff that makes an individual performer special that a lot of people go for when they're, like, being. When it's. And I sort of get it, too, because it's like, yeah, these are the nicest cameras that are ever going to be pointed at me. Yeah. I kind of want to look good. I mean, listen, you're talking to somebody who got famous when he was 350 pounds and 5, 7. You know what I mean?

[Marley Goddard]

And now, how much?

[Stavi]

A nice 280.

[Marley Goddard]

Okay. And how tall I'm.

[Stavi]

My growth spurt's kicking in any day.

[Marley Goddard]

Okay.

[Stavi]

By tomorrow, like, today, I'm still around five.

[Marley Goddard]

I got some heels that I think could fit.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Eleven and a half. Quadruple. Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Maybe some bras as well. I know it is, like, different, like, for guys. Like, I'm just like, yeah. Like, it's like. I don't know, like, people are like, even, like, Netflix specials. Like, people are churning out, like, like three Netflix specials a year. And it's like, who is even. Just like, I'm like, who is styling that? Like, who is styling? And it's like, in one way, it's beautiful that there's an art form where it actually doesn't really matter what you wear. And it's like, who you are, what you say. But then it's just like, that's just not the case for women. You know, it's like, it just is.

[Edie Modica]

And honestly, I want to be a damn actress. And sometimes you gotta look like an actress. Like, when I go out.

[Caller]

Out.

[Edie Modica]

I also like looking, like, online. And then when you see me in person, it's like, oh, yeah, I didn't know. I like that. Like, yes.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

It makes people like me that I look like or that I'm myself.

[Stavi]

I also love that you're pretending this is some grand plan you have and not just what happens in the way you live your life that you like where you are.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Edie Modica]

But if we're gonna to look at it.

[Marley Goddard]

No, it's really intentional that you see my neck rolls and my titty is flopping out and there's one big hair. That's intentional for my acting career.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Caller]

That's.

[Marley Goddard]

I feel that way.

[Stavi]

That's why I look like in my Instagram stories for my. For my career.

[Caller]

Right.

[Marley Goddard]

What don't you understand completely?

[Stavi]

Yeah, I get that. That. Oh, I'm excited. I'm excited for. I mean, I've thought about that. How I want to be perceived. I Will. There will be a toupee era of my life. I can't wait for that.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, your weave.

[Stavi]

I can't wait for that. We're still. I'm gonna grow the bald pony a little longer, and then I'm gonna enjoy that, I think, for the rest of this year. And then, who knows? I don't know. I can't. I'm actually starting to think about an era past bald ponytail, which I never thought I'd get past.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Edie Modica]

Like. Like full bald.

[Stavi]

I don't know. I mean, no, not.

[Marley Goddard]

Not on.

[Stavi]

I. I don't think I'll go buzz cut again. But just, you know, let's get creative.

[Caller]

Totally.

[Stavi]

Let's get some weird balding haircuts going.

[Marley Goddard]

Technology is, like. It's there.

[Stavi]

But I don't want to. I. I see it as cowardice to get. To get a transplant right now.

[Edie Modica]

I completely agree. This is the sexiest thing you could possibly do. Thank you.

[Stavi]

Thank you. I might just go. I might just go, you know, Tony Soprano with it short. You know, do a back.

[Marley Goddard]

Bang, bang.

[Stavi]

That would be really fun too.

[Marley Goddard]

Do a back.

[Stavi]

I kind of. I kind of do want to do the, like, Hitler stash back shaved, like, fade. Like a long, long mullet in the back.

[Edie Modica]

Or have you seen when people slick what you have forward and then you cut it like a perfect line? My uncle's case worker used to do that.

[Stavi]

The perfect person in your life to

[Marley Goddard]

remember a hairstyle he tried to get me.

[Edie Modica]

My uncle was in the hospital with swollen legs, and he tried to get me to sign. He has bastards luck. My uncle, like, anytime he was supposed to go to court for not paying rent for 18 months at my grandma's apartment, and that happened to be the time that he was in the hospital, so he got to miss it. But they needed a doctor's signal signature, and the caseworker was like, do you have good handwriting?

[Marley Goddard]

To me.

[Edie Modica]

Because they couldn't find the doctor, so

[Stavi]

he wanted me to sign for, like, it's a permission slip to the zoo. That's crazy. The casework.

[Edie Modica]

Well, he's also my uncle's friend. There was something going on, like Fred and his roommate.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, yeah.

[Stavi]

Oh, okay. Maybe we bleep that out. Eldis, he needs work. Was he a social worker? When you say casework?

[Edie Modica]

I do not know what this man did. He looks like a drug addict.

[Marley Goddard]

He was probably a drug addict. Yes, he's probably a drug addict.

[Edie Modica]

He was my uncle's friend.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm a social worker.

[Caller]

Right, Right.

[Marley Goddard]

As honestly, that's still what it is. Oh, sorry. Caseworker.

[Edie Modica]

Like, he was supposed. What I gathered was that he was going to talk to the judge and bring these signed papers to the judge with my signature.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Who's not a lawyer.

[Marley Goddard]

He's casework.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, you describing. I mean, truly your upbringing is hysterical.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

It's the fact that you're even a semi, like, cogent person.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Stavi]

The fact that you're not. That you have that. Like, you're not an insane train. Like, you're obviously crazy in certain ways.

[Edie Modica]

Sure.

[Marley Goddard]

But I have anger problems.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

But you could be, like, full, like, Like a meth head.

[Stavi]

100.

[Marley Goddard]

You could be, like, fully.

[Stavi]

It's kind of crazy. You're not. The. The. The. The grandma's apartment in the special is so like your uncle. So basically your grandma ran a flop house for the failed members of your family.

[Marley Goddard]

Yes.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Caller]

And you.

[Stavi]

And you spent a lot of time there as a child.

[Edie Modica]

As a kid.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

And there's lots of rugs drying. There's lots of rugs.

[Edie Modica]

All rugs. I have this drawing I just found. It's from 2004. So I was 12. And it's just a drawing of a woman. And under it says Ms. Prostitute.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, I saw that. Oh, my God. I saw.

[Edie Modica]

I was like, that's me that I use, like, onion. Like, you know what onions come in, like, the fish. I like, cut that and include it as the fishnets.

[Stavi]

So you're doing like 3D collage.

[Edie Modica]

Yes, I've always.

[Stavi]

Well, always been, like, creative. Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

I mean, put that in a pilot.

[Edie Modica]

I know.

[Marley Goddard]

Like, I'm begging. Begging just like we're talking about being an actress. I'm like, I'm begging just to be. We're going back in time. I'll be a prostitute. I'll be dead prostitute number one. Like, we're not even there anymore. That was like 30 years ago. We're now off. It's like, you know, what are we gonna do?

[Stavi]

You could be a live prostitute. Don't say.

[Caller]

Look at this.

[Edie Modica]

Walking around.

[Marley Goddard]

Cheap, though. Still cheap. Still cheap as. I wish I was more expensive.

[Edie Modica]

Die. Sounds like you're like a meth head prostitute.

[Marley Goddard]

Definitely. I'll take some Adderall.

[Stavi]

What was the. What was the. You're growing up in Western Mass in a. In a Arabic doctor's home. What is that looking like?

[Marley Goddard]

Are you.

[Stavi]

Are you living on a com?

[Edie Modica]

Her family's awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, it's. It's great. Parents are no longer together, but, you know, they are both on Their own spiritual journeys. Now, they originally met doing West African drumming and dancing.

[Stavi]

And then this is. By the way, this is what conservatives think. How you create a trans. Yes, daughter.

[Marley Goddard]

Yes.

[Stavi]

I think if you do too much. No, literally drumming. If you do. If you do too much stuff from other cultures, your child will become trans.

[Marley Goddard]

No, I was indoctrinating, and then I was indoctrinating everybody else.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

It's so weird because I didn't know, like, any gay or trans people, really, growing up in my town. And now it's like upstate and Western masses, like, riddled with them. Like, you can find them in every hole in a tree. It is so much. But, yeah, it was.

[Stavi]

I mean, so they met. Sorry, I would love to go back to meet it, though.

[Marley Goddard]

So they meet. Yeah, my dad's drumming, Mom's dancing.

[Stavi]

Okay.

[Marley Goddard]

They, you know, Dad's a deadhead.

[Stavi]

Awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

Mom is free spirit dancer. Dr.

[Stavi]

Awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

And then they moved to Western mass.

[Caller]

Ass.

[Marley Goddard]

Older brother, me. Then it's like, very, you know, I'm like, playing sports, start an improv group, basically. And then immediately when I leave, it's like, okay, something's up. Like, literally, something is up. I'm like, right. So I was looking at gay Tumblr porn for quite a while. I was like, why do I love Tumblr? I'm, like, reposting.

[Stavi]

Like, I'm just baby animals.

[Edie Modica]

Like, I'm like, sure.

[Marley Goddard]

Why? I know. And then. Then I would, like, go back and visit in college. And that's when I definitely was. I was. I was jerking some people off and doing some things for a little bit of cash.

[Stavi]

Sure, sure.

[Marley Goddard]

And it's like, girl, your mom's a doctor. Like, how much do you need that? Like, in some ways. But also, I'm like, it was an

[Stavi]

interest that was more spiritual. It sound. That was your drumming.

[Marley Goddard]

That was my. It was, like, explorative. Creatively, financially, and then spiritually. And so it was like, also, it's like when you go back to your hometown, I don't know, maybe you both feel this. It's like that repression kind of immediately comes back where it's like, you're that kid again, that 100 bullied in sixth grade. Like, you're, like, on the rug again, like, humping that. Like, and it's. And it feels. It's, like, hard and scary, but also, like. Like, kind of sexy almost in some ways. And I'm like, there's nothing sexier than money sometimes. But I left that to the side. I left that to the side.

[Stavi]

And Then that's that. That was in your youth, it sounds like coming back.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, it was like very much. And then I tried to dabble recently, but now, you know, I'm trying to be an actress hooker instead. Like a real one. We're shooting for the stars here.

[Stavi]

One is a much more reliable. No, it's a much more reliable.

[Marley Goddard]

It's literally, I'm like, I'm a touring stand up comedian.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm in a writer's room. I still probably could make more as a bartender or a hooker without.

[Stavi]

Without question. And it wouldn't be less embarrassing. It would be like cooler. Are you kidding me?

[Marley Goddard]

Sex workers are respected much more than

[Stavi]

stand up without question. I. It is, yeah. I respect. I respect somebody. You just have to suck a stranger off at work.

[Marley Goddard]

Have you ever paid anyone for sex?

[Stavi]

Yeah, for sure. I was. When I'll go to like Europe. We go to. I've done an Amsterdam situation, like red light district, red light district vibe. When you know, you're, you know, you're on vacation. You got a vacation. If I went to Rome, I would go to the Coliseum, you know. But I happen to be in Amsterdam, so I'm gonna go.

[Marley Goddard]

What's your like, type of hooker?

[Stavi]

You know, I just, I like the. Just walk around and just be like, oh, nice. I'd like to. That lady. Right? I'd like to that lady.

[Marley Goddard]

Have you gone trans?

[Stavi]

I have not gone trans. I've also haven't done it that much, to be honest. It's only been. There was only one lady with. I just like truly just saw the first lady with huge tits and like big links. Just like Eastern European. Like. I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

You're like, yeah, exactly.

[Stavi]

I'm like.

[Marley Goddard]

You're like. I'm just seeing. It's like the first.

[Stavi]

I'm like, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

You're like, right, that's you.

[Stavi]

This will be right here. Oh, nice.

[Marley Goddard]

You're in a golf cart.

[Stavi]

I'm just an obese American in a rascal scooter trying to buy in Europe.

[Marley Goddard]

You're like on one of those, like one wheel. Can you.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Can you lift my stomach and get my dick out of there? From under there, sir.

[Marley Goddard]

I can't see it. I can't see it. Where's the dick? Where's the dick?

[Stavi]

Excuse me, I'm the customer. I don't want to be talked to this one.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm seeing three bowls. Three bowls. The normal three bowls.

[Stavi]

Here's eight more euros to pretend my dick is huge, please.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm Joking.

[Edie Modica]

I'm dying, sir.

[Stavi]

I'm dying.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm dying.

[Stavi]

Thank you. I just. Not immediately. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Marley Goddard]

So you've never gone. You've never gone tranny? You never gone to Transville?

[Stavi]

No, no, no.

[Marley Goddard]

Even in your normal life, you got. No, this. You're just talking. I'm like, edie's coming. Kind of an ethical chaser. An ethical chaser?

[Stavi]

Is that the tip you're on right now? Edie, we haven't caught up in a while.

[Edie Modica]

I do. I. I've always been this way. I do. Like, it's hot. Sorry.

[Stavi]

I mean, well, I can't exactly even tell what your sec. Like sexuality is. Like the stuff you're into is just. It's. It feels like it's. It's like so abstract from the actual act of sex. Yeah. Like what you're describing in the special, you're just like. It's just like. You want to see like, like filth and reality and just like. And that's what gets you horny? It's like. Yeah, to me, I'm like, yes, I get that. I. I understand not wanting how fake everything is and under. I understand when people are like, I can't really get into like, you know, mainstream porn because it's so obviously fake, but at the same time, I want.

[Edie Modica]

I can watch that too. I. I like, it's. There's a long spectrum.

[Marley Goddard]

You're on the spectrum.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But you're. You're describing like just. Yeah, yeah. I believe it was like the. Actually kind of similar to what we just talked about me with in Amsterdam where it's just like the fattest guy of all time with his littlest dick in a disgusting room. And to you it's just like, well, that's real. Right? Was that the appeal to that joke? That it's authenticity? The authenticity gets you horny?

[Edie Modica]

Yeah, it's undeniable. Like, I Like when I'm watching that, I can see that it's real. Yeah. Like, yeah, that is.

[Stavi]

It's pure authenticity and like.

[Edie Modica]

Like that person, like, I don't know, seeing like a strong guy with abs. Like, I don't care what he wants. Cuz what he wants is probably whatever he wants. Like a guy who doesn't get what he wants.

[Stavi]

Getting what he wants. Oh, so when someone's up or when someone's on the bottom of society, them finally getting to enjoy themselves.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Stavi]

Is so much.

[Edie Modica]

I want to give it to them.

[Marley Goddard]

Yes. I want to be the one.

[Stavi]

Well, it Is like in the.

[Marley Goddard]

This, like, moment we're in of this trigger warning. Maybe bleep this clavicular. Right, right, right clavicular down. Where it's like, oh, we're trying to become these, you know, Greek God, manosphere, whatever. Where it's like, oh, there's in culture where it's like, no, we like bodies and we like people to, like, have bodies and like, faces and be actually real. And I think in the next five years, like, we're gonna get fat again. Fat asses will be bad. Hailey Bieber, you're gonna be fine. I hope so.

[Stavi]

It pisses me off. We finally had huge titties and big asses as culture.

[Marley Goddard]

Yes.

[Stavi]

And now they're trying to take that from us. No.

[Marley Goddard]

Wasn't it crazy?

[Edie Modica]

This really made me sick. When Ice Spice got skinny and then everyone was mad and then. And being like, the ice melted and then, then she got thick again and was saying, like, I'm back, y'.

[Caller]

All.

[Edie Modica]

Like, do you like me now?

[Marley Goddard]

No.

[Edie Modica]

That, like, was harrowing.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

I mean, well, I think that's like.

[Stavi]

Of course, what you're describing is like, yeah, we objectify, right? Female pop stars.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Britney Spears. The worst. Disgusting.

[Edie Modica]

So shamelessly like, be like, oh, I'm sorry, it's back. I got back. Yeah, I ate my oats.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Right. Where it's like this even. And.

[Stavi]

But they all are like that. What are you talking about? Once you sign in for that once you once. Well, yeah. How are you doing? Right? What's the special called? I'm just like you and it sucks. You talk about how all the money from your success is gone. That's what principles gets you. I don't care. I know, I know. And that's cool at the bottom, right? That's cool.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, we'll do like a car wash, but it'll be like a dick sucking type of thing.

[Stavi]

That's cool.

[Marley Goddard]

And we'll raise money.

[Stavi]

My kind of car wash.

[Marley Goddard]

You still. You pull up in the golf cart. Are you. Where do you think you would both. This is both like retirement. Where do you see yourself?

[Stavi]

Great question.

[Marley Goddard]

Like, you have a beautiful career, as you both have, and do I admire both of you. You know, where are you? Are you in Florida? Golf car. Are you in a different country? Are you right back here?

[Stavi]

I'm in Greece. I would say I'm in Greece half the time and here half. I do love New York for real. And so I think that's kind of of my. My goal would be to be here whenever it's nice when I'm retired. And then, like, just be gone. When it's not, like, in the summer, just be in Greece. That's the dream.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

That's all I've ever wanted in my life is, like, if I could be. Because I remember growing up there. Even when you're, like, in Greek town in Baltimore, even these families that were doing just okay, they would have these restaurants, these Greek restaurants, and then they would. There would be a sign on the door for three months, and they're like, we're in Greece. We'll be back in literally the fall. And I just remember being like, that's incredible.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

And it's like. And those people are not rich. Right. But they just have an awesome life.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

And I just remember being like, I want to get there where I just, like. I'm just like, don't even look at me for the summer.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

I'm on a beach until, like, mid September. You know what I mean? Like, I'll come back to you.

[Marley Goddard]

Right?

[Stavi]

That's my dream. That's my. And I just love. I don't know. I love being on. I love being on. On the side of a beach. And, like, you know, I'm a beach guy big time.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, my God. It's the best place ever.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Being naked on the beach.

[Edie Modica]

Oh, my God. In the water. That's what we're meant to do.

[Marley Goddard]

I know.

[Edie Modica]

Swim in the earth.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm a lake girl. I love a lake.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Are you gonna lake retire, you think? What do you think? What do you.

[Marley Goddard]

I definitely, like, want, like, lake house. Like, I'm like. I want heat lightning on a rocking chair on a porch.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

A rocking chair is a part of retirement. Rocking chair is a huge part of being.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm like, let us stem.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Let us stem for until. Whittling.

[Stavi]

Rocking chair. That's all stimming.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Stavi]

You know, they were all doing that.

[Marley Goddard]

I mean, I'd even, like, I might country club it, too.

[Stavi]

Yeah. I could see that.

[Marley Goddard]

But.

[Stavi]

I could see that.

[Marley Goddard]

But the thing is, it's like I do have, like, the illness where it's like, I think I will probably work till I die. Like, at least, like, create. Like, I just, like, have to, like, I'll be like, okay, let's write a pilot about playing bridge or something doing pickle ball.

[Stavi]

Like, oh, I'm playing.

[Marley Goddard]

I love playing pickle ball. Now it's a reality show.

[Stavi]

But see, to me, the truth, the, like, when you fantasize about retirement, it's that I'm fantasizing about not being programmed that way. I'm fantasizing about just chilling, relaxing.

[Edie Modica]

I know how to relax, is what I'll say. Like, I can be in work mode, and then I really can just.

[Marley Goddard]

What's your relax?

[Edie Modica]

Have you been to Martha's Vineyard?

[Marley Goddard]

I been to the other one. The one that nearby Cape Cod? Well, I've been to Cape Cod.

[Stavi]

Cape Cod. This is bizarre that you.

[Edie Modica]

Well, my boyfriend's rich, and I'm different now, and I don't care.

[Marley Goddard]

Wait, is he's rich? Oh, yeah. Like family.

[Edie Modica]

Family.

[Marley Goddard]

Wait, what?

[Edie Modica]

My mom is literally like,

[Stavi]

You want to talk about a movie? You want to talk about a white. I want white lotus. But they also invite your family.

[Marley Goddard]

No, literally, she's, like, itching your ass. She's like, why is. Why is your mom figuring your ass? Yeah, like, meth pipe.

[Stavi]

Okay. It's just really funny to.

[Edie Modica]

To save that place is magical. Or like, I really. I just went with my boyfriend and a group of my friends, and there was, like, no hot water. So one of my friends was like, the hot water isn't working. And I was like, did someone tell Ethan? And my friend was like, you've changed. Like, you're different. I was like, oh, we have to tell the house.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We have to tell the help.

[Edie Modica]

It's amazing.

[Marley Goddard]

Like, you deserve that.

[Stavi]

It's really funny to say both the. The.

[Edie Modica]

You.

[Stavi]

You've said the phrase. Phrase. My uncle's caseworker and Martha's Vineyard at the same. Within an hour. Maybe the only person that's ever done that.

[Edie Modica]

I am having a hard time or it's hard in the relationship too. Like, I get angry. I have problems with it.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm sure there's, like, reset and, like,

[Edie Modica]

his mom and my mom. We also went to high school together, me and my boyfriend. So, like, we grew up five minutes from each other, but completely different.

[Stavi]

That's nuts.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah, it's nuts. It's hard, but for me. Me, it's awesome. Yeah. For him, I'm like, there's nowhere really for us to go.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, it's so interesting because it is like. It's like my family is like that. He's the exact type of Jewish boy slash family you want to marry into.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Marley Goddard]

It's like, literally, that's like, you did it.

[Stavi]

Good for you.

[Marley Goddard]

You accomplished ancestrally.

[Edie Modica]

I'm not.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

But it is annoying sometimes. Or like, our moms were moving at the same time. My mom bought a studio apartment. It's a room.

[Stavi]

Your mom's throwing stuff in a Glad B. She's your mom's packing up her bindle and putting literally. And eight Guatemalans are packing up his mom's home.

[Edie Modica]

It's crazy. And I have to be like, yeah,

[Stavi]

yeah, yeah, it's awesome. The secret is to grow up poor and then get rich.

[Caller]

Exactly.

[Stavi]

Because I get to like have this superiority over like, well I mean I, I, I'm a self made man, you know, and it's like. But it still is kind of annoying. I mean the thing about getting money, it's like that annoys, that's been the most annoying part is who you're now around. It's like rich people aren't fun.

[Edie Modica]

I don't want to be around them.

[Stavi]

Like, and it's not even, it's not even the, the whoever made the money usually is kind of interesting. Even if they're evil, they're at least they have like an interesting ambition. But most rich people are somebody's kids or grandkids that most rich people didn't work for. Get it? And so when you go to these like nice places, you're just surrounded by like I'm surrounded by like 20 year olds who haven't worked hard at all at anything and have a, like a really attitude and that's so annoying. But.

[Edie Modica]

And as they get older and they're more in the real world, I feel like they're kind of grappling with that. Like they hate it about themselves or some of my friends hate it about themselves.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, they do like talk to each other about that. That is the thing where it is like, it's like you want to suffer. Like it's like when I went to, to like you know, private liberal arts college, it's like all these like really generationally like LA New York wealthy people come and it's like they're cosplaying as porn.

[Edie Modica]

I'm broke.

[Marley Goddard]

Like I'm broke. And then it's like, yeah. And then you have people, it's like, okay, sure, I suffered in my own ways, but now it's like I'm going in like being a hooker. Like, wait, what? Like it's like you feel like you need to suffer in these ways that it's like, like because you didn't have that in the same way. I think that, I think mine is a little bit more generational of like New York Jews and like, like everybody trying. I mean like, well, it's like I'm the first generation that gets to be an artist. It's like my grandma, my Great. Like, everybody like wanted to be an artist, but they had to be like teachers or like mafia members or whatever. And now it's like I get to be the artist. Yeah. Wait, speaking of. So I watched like one clip. Who was the girl who kept saying tranny, tranny, trann each?

[Stavi]

Jordan. Jordan Jensen.

[Marley Goddard]

So I had to break her record.

[Stavi]

Okay, you want to run it? Yeah, yeah. How many was it? Eldis? All right, can you give us six?

[Marley Goddard]

What's the count?

[Stavi]

It was that slur.

[Marley Goddard]

It's like. Why is.

[Stavi]

That's really good. Well, you broke the record. You broke the record. She had.

[Marley Goddard]

Has she something?

[Stavi]

Okay, yeah, she's got something going on, but okay. She's cool. She figured it out.

[Marley Goddard]

Good. And that's what this is about. It's about figuring out things live. And because people on the Internet yell at you.

[Stavi]

They really do. But the new. The good news is you now have the record. You have. You have the. The T bomb record for. Stop.

[Marley Goddard]

Hey, that's something.

[Stavi]

That's. We'll make a plaque.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

Most honestly, we literally will. But I do think it's time we're having. I'm having a great time and you'll have to come back, gals. But I do think we need to get to. We need to get some. We need to get to. We need to get to our calls here. Eldest right as much this happens when. When you're on Ed, because I just. Everything I hear about your family I could ask 1000 follow up questions on. But let's get to some calls here.

[Marley Goddard]

[Stavi]

Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes, you.

[Edie Modica]

That's actually an interesting podcast. I love a comedian and their divorce parents.

[Stavi]

Yes. I mean her parents. It's just so funny that you're. Anyway, that's.

[Caller]

a elder whatever Esteemed guest. I feel like I am obligated to say that, as everybody else says. Anyway, I'm in my early 30s. I've been married for a few years. When we, when I started dating this woman that I'm now married to, she wasn't very sexually liberated. She wasn't like a virgin. She had sex in high school, but she had like never masturbated. She never had a pussy. And you know, through time we've kind of fixed that together. Now she comes good every time we have sex. Squirts a little bit.

[Marley Goddard]

Just a little bit.

[Caller]

But so a few months ago we were drunk and we decided to fuck and she was really taking charge. Charge. But in all the wildness, I, you know, touched the butthole a little bit.

[Stavi]

Okay.

[Caller]

And she came so hard, like the hardest idea.

[Stavi]

This guy's voice is awesome. I love when my I have sex with my girlfriend.

[Edie Modica]

She comes from her butthole.

[Stavi]

From butthole Touching.

[Marley Goddard]

She would squat from a butthole. I think it was a shot. But still calm nonetheless.

[Stavi]

Keep going.

[Caller]

So hard since then, when the mood strikes, you know, I'll touch her butthole a little. Every time I do, it's the same thing. She's coming way harder than, you know, the average sex. But the other night while we were lying in bed, we had one of those butthole encounters. And I thought I'd ask after. I thought I'd ask, do you like when I touch your butthole? It seems like every time I do, it's a really good time for you. And she said, not really. I don't think it's doing anything for me. And I said, well, do you want me to stop? And she said, kind of. All right. Which I was surprised about because the correlation is crazy. It has been. Every time that I've touched her butthole, she.

[Stavi]

I know.

[Caller]

Liking it. And she doesn't want to fess up because she's, you know, still got a little bit of that shelteredness. Her mouth is telling me one thing, her body's telling me another.

[Stavi]

Oh, brother. That's a tough sentence, man. That's a real tough.

[Caller]

Really, really hard. Also, I just want to be clear. It is like a, you know, like a. Like a mic test, you know, just a little pressure on there. I'm not picking anything in there, just for clarity.

[Marley Goddard]

Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking about how your finger, if it was inside or outside, I thought it was encounters. Like, he can't say anal. I know he's allergic to that.

[Stavi]

It's interesting.

[Marley Goddard]

I was.

[Stavi]

I sort of was on one. I sort of was hearing what he was saying until he was like, her bodies tell me one thing, and her mouth's telling me. No, not very few non rapists have used that term. Well, you just don't want to be using rapist parlance. And unfortunately, that is what you're doing with it.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, it's like you've touched her butthole five times, and then you ask, is this. Is this okay?

[Stavi]

Right.

[Marley Goddard]

And so it's like, well, we can just communicate about sex right off the bat.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Where it's like, it's not a crazy thing. I think probably straight guys are just like. Just like, a butthole is just so crazy for them to, like, process as a thing. And so it's like, yeah, what if you were. Where it's like, okay, maybe she does like it, but she's now uncomfortable because you've touched it a bunch and you haven't talked about it.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah, maybe ask in the moment.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

I don't know. In the moments kind of. I feel like it's the kind of thing where I don't think there's anything wrong with like, kind of doing the debrief if you've been kind of like slowly working your way up to something. Because in the moment, I do. I do feel like it's better before or after, personally. Because in the moment it's. It's just such a. The. I don't know, just a different energy to be having.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Stavi]

You're almost having like a logistical conversation.

[Edie Modica]

You could say you want it. You want.

[Stavi]

Yeah, that's true. Very.

[Marley Goddard]

You want butthole. But like, what if it's like she's like, whisper it.

[Edie Modica]

That's hotter.

[Marley Goddard]

Maybe, but maybe she wants to like, prep her butthole more before. And so maybe she's like in her head about. What did she say?

[Edie Modica]

She said kinda.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

The two of them, right.

[Stavi]

This is tough communicating on both sides.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm also like, it's hard for me. It's like, I want to be respectful, but I'm like, you haven't eaten her ass yet and she hasn't eaten yours. It's like, what are we doing then in sex?

[Stavi]

I don't.

[Marley Goddard]

But I'm like, yeah, she. She's. I don't know. Especially if this guy was. This is honestly good for you for asking about this because maybe this is the first time you've ever even thought about consent with that voice. And also asking for consent with like, what I could I say? Speech impediment. What is.

[Edie Modica]

She didn't mean to be.

[Stavi]

She didn't even masturbate a pussy. I. I would say. Now look, the other thing is you. It seems like you just don't really talk about it that much. And there's nothing wrong with sort of like you broached the topic. Maybe she. She was also caught a little off guard. Maybe. Look, he might be a little. Right here. Maybe she still is a little sheltered. Whatever. You can still keep having a conversation, right? Like, you can say hey, like that before. The next time you go up, you'd be like, hey, hey, remember that last talk we had? Cuz also after and before it, that those are different energies, right? Like, absolutely. Like how many times you've beaten off to something and been like, I should set my laptop on fire.

[Marley Goddard]

You know what I mean? You're like, I post not clarity me. Every time.

[Edie Modica]

Every time.

[Stavi]

Literally. She was in that vibe, right where she had just busted. And she's ashamed of herself now. So now let's have. Let's try this conversation. Let's have it before next time. You know what I mean?

[Marley Goddard]

And she probably has her own. Own. It's like both of you maybe should, like, see a sex therapist or counselor. And she probably has her own insecurities about her butthole or maybe somebody mistreated her butthole. And so it's like you just don't know. And so you have to, like. Yeah, I think before. Honestly, I think before before or. Yeah, like even during anything but after. Or anything but after.

[Stavi]

Or even like sometimes completely not even around sexual.

[Edie Modica]

Which is the best time.

[Stavi]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Where it's not charged at all. It's not.

[Marley Goddard]

Yes.

[Edie Modica]

I've been thinking about this.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.

[Edie Modica]

At dinner.

[Stavi]

Dinner. A nice, nice brunch. Having a cup of coffee. Well.

[Marley Goddard]

And I think. Yeah, I think that's right. And it's like eating some chocolate ice cream. Yeah.

[Stavi]

Eating a donut. What do you think it is?

[Marley Goddard]

Squirting. It's like, you need to be able to, like, say, like, anal you and you. You need to be able to, like, have the vocabulary if you want to be doing that. You know what I mean? It's like you're. He's. He's beating around the bush where I'm like, just say what you want or, like, your desire, and then maybe she'll be like, okay. Like, it's okay for me to, like.

[Stavi]

Right? Yeah. You know, So I think, look, in general, they seem to be on some kind of little journey here. Here. She's coming out of her shell. Whatever. Keep the talking. Keep the conversation going. It seems like, you know, if she's busting. That's a huge, you know, that's awesome.

[Marley Goddard]

She's coming super hard.

[Stavi]

She's busting hard. That's great. Keep that going. Keep the. Keep the conversation going, my friend.

[Marley Goddard]

Literally, next time. Next time he calls, he's gonna be like, yeah, she ate my ass. Yeah, my butthole.

[Stavi]

What else we got, L.D. oh, what the.

[Caller]

I'm feeling a.

[Stavi]

Oh, my God. Jesus. It's time to. Oh, it's time for the up ass question of the week, brought to you by the little twisted tea.

[Caller]

Oh,

[Stavi]

That's good stuff.

[Marley Goddard]

I really want to pour this on my head.

[Stavi]

Don't do it. Don't do it. I appreciate the fact that you want to, though. That's good. Elders, what's this week's fucked up ass question of the motherfucking week? Brought to you by our pals at Twisted Tea. And you know, there's no beverage for the summertime quite like twisted tea. I think we can all agree on that. What is the question this week?

[Caller]

Eldis, Stavi, Elvis, esteemed guests, hope you guys are doing well, man. I got a. A fun one for you today. So my brother is getting married in a couple weeks and we haven't always had the best relationship. I kind of beat the out of him a lot when we were kids.

[Stavi]

Oh, so you're fully the villain like that.

[Caller]

That. So, you know, it's been rocky a little bit, but you know, we're older now, so we're good for the most part. But his wife to be. And I had a pretty rocky beef

[Stavi]

with his fiance too. I used to beat the out of

[Marley Goddard]

her

[Edie Modica]

and she didn't like that.

[Stavi]

She didn't like that. But we're good now for the most part.

[Marley Goddard]

Does it count as domestic violence if it was my brother's wife?

[Caller]

Mostly because of me, actually.

[Stavi]

Entirely. You don't say.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, he's taking accountability, basically.

[Caller]

One of the first times I met her, we removed a bunch of stuff in my parents house and she just like didn't help. And so I called my dad later and went off and.

[Stavi]

So you tattled?

[Caller]

Called her a lazy. Went ballistic. I was not feeling good at the time.

[Marley Goddard]

Drug addict.

[Caller]

Yeah. I was on speakerphone and she was in the room and apparently she just started crying hysterically.

[Stavi]

That's nuts that you did that. Like if my sister in law, if we were moving stuff and one of my sisters in law just didn't want to do it, I'd be like, okay, who cares? It's like, you lazy. It's my mom's house. I don't care. Also it's like, what happened? Anyway, let's keep going.

[Caller]

And it's been super awkward ever since. There's actually a couple other small things.

[Stavi]

Have you apologized?

[Caller]

Great either. But no. I really want to show up for my brother. I want to do the right thing. My question for you is when I do the best man speech, like I have to give a nod to this.

[Stavi]

No, you really don't. What the.

[Marley Goddard]

You have.

[Stavi]

What do you mean you have to give a nod to this?

[Edie Modica]

Congratulations. Congratulations to you. You.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah, right.

[Stavi]

You know, it didn't help. Flowers on the table, Sarah.

[Caller]

Oh.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, gotcha. Remember when I used to beat you?

[Stavi]

Oh man. You have to give a nod to the. What are you talking about? What the are you talking. People really think they're. They're like something has infected our brains, especially with like all the, all the phone where everybody thinks they're. Everybody posts like they're famous. This guy acts like it's like every. You know, I have to address our deep lore that everybody knows about. Nobody knows or gives a. About. You were a. To your sister in law. What you can do is say I'm sorry before the speech. You go to her and you're like, hey, I've been working the speech and I'll just be honest with you now. And by the way, we've said this a lot. Marriages, there's a couple moments in life that act as almost reset points. People getting married, married, funerals of loved ones. Like the big moments in life. A kid being born. These are moments that you can change. They're. They're like hinge points for your life. In many ways. This is a textbook one.

[Edie Modica]

Make it right.

[Stavi]

Make it right. Right now. Be like, I don't want us going into the. You and my brother the rest of your life. I'm gonna be your brother in law forever. I wanna, I want this water under the bridge. You're not gonna fix this with a. A nice zinger about it in the best man speech. Go give her a actual. Give her an actual ap. Is there more? Does he have more to say?

[Caller]

You know, I'm not gonna pretend that it never happened. Right. Otherwise that would be super awkward. Most of her family probably knows about this. I've met some of them, not all of them, but.

[Edie Modica]

What do you do?

[Marley Goddard]

What would you do?

[Caller]

Like, how far into this story would you go? Would you.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, my God.

[Stavi]

Why are we talking about this?

[Marley Goddard]

Okay, you need to apologize. Obvious that it's like you're thinking about the speech, you're making it about you, and you want, like you're thinking about zingers right now. Crazy, you abusive fellow. You're like a quarter of the way of taking accountability. Don't call a podcast. Call your sister.

[Stavi]

Yeah. I mean, I can't believe you think you have to discuss this. I can't believe you think this is the way to deal.

[Edie Modica]

And without speaking to her like that's where he wants to deal with it.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

Publicly.

[Edie Modica]

Because her family knows.

[Stavi]

See, this is. That's actually a really good. That's a really. If you're the type of person who cares more about how you are perceived, believed because of your faults, as opposed to actually making them up with the people, they matter. You're a piece of. You know what I mean? Like, and that's the type of person who thinks who you're looking at this, like, pr. This is not pr. This is mending your relationship with an actual human being. Not. Well, I want people to think I'm cool at the. At the best man speech. So your attitude is all wrong here.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm also like, the brother should step up.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

The brothers. It's like. I mean, the brother has trauma as well from you, but it's like he asked you to be his best man, and so it's like, if he's asking that, it's like, I wouldn't. It's like, seems like you're almost, like, putting your wife in danger. A man who used to beat y' all and verbally abuse you is going to be drunk at your wedding. This is an unsafe environment.

[Stavi]

It is. I will say it is. Like, I. I'm curious as to the brother making him the best man, making our caller here. The best man is like, is the brother trying to make a man? Like, is the brother trying to be the bigger man and be like, hey, now, you're my best. Because it's like, you know, we've all grown up with people who have these weird sibling. Like, these sibling rivalries that come up from one of them being a piece of shit sometimes never go away. Sometimes it's just the way they relate to, Like, I have friends of mine who. It's like, oh, yeah. Oh, brother and sister bicker, and now they. They hate each other.

[Marley Goddard]

Right?

[Stavi]

So it's like, some. Sometimes. And look, I've been very lucky. I was kind of a piece of. There were me and my brothers. Like, we had. We had, like, you know, I mean, me and my brothers, we talked about it. We all had anger problems just from growing up in our house. And we. There were moments we all. We hated each other. We've come. We've figured it out now at this. You know, I was the best man at my brother's wedding. But, like, we figured it out. We went to therapy. We did it. It doesn't seem like either of you guys have done that, right? And so I guess the brother's interesting here.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, it is. I used to get my older brother to beat me up. Like, we really did not get along. And then recently, honestly, like, when my parents split up, I had, like, a lot of resentment towards, like, the men in my family. And I talked to my brother, and I was like, that was so up, like, all that. And he was like, I was a kid, too.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

And I was like, whoa. Like, even just, like, realizing that, where it's like, oh, we were both children and like, I guess it unfortunately was on the adults, wherever it was to take accountability. And so it's like, you know, I see that it's like they're trying to make amends. And at the end of the day, all you have is your family. And we want to be retired in Greece with our, you know, brothers, you know, and it's like, have whatever boundaries that you can as adults. But it is like, I would like to know. Yeah. What conversations you've had with your brother,

[Edie Modica]

because I'm questioning the marriage.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah. This person is asking.

[Stavi]

All right, I'll let you finish. But for the plea.

[Edie Modica]

This person's asking the brother who. They haven't talked about anything clearly, probably to be the best man. He's probably doing that because he's like, well, this is what I have to do. And maybe the marriage is based in the same thing of like, well, this is what people do.

[Marley Goddard]

That's true. I do think it's like a cycle of abuse. And like,

[Stavi]

worst case scenario. Yes. Best case scenario, it's just. Just like people just go with inertia. Right. And these are people who don't think deeply about themselves. Right.

[Marley Goddard]

Like.

[Stavi]

Like this guy might be just. His brother might just be kind of a. A meek guy who's like, well, I don't have that many good friends. I guess my brother is my best man. You know what I mean? Like, I really hope he doesn't bring up that time he called Sarah cunt, but maybe he will, you know, but

[Marley Goddard]

he might be like, cucked, like, to his wife.

[Stavi]

And it's supposed to be a.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, like, I'm supposed to do this. Like, you know, he's all, I don't have any friends.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

What if she is a. What if she is a raging. So, yeah, call her. You're right.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Keep saying that to her.

[Stavi]

Yep.

[Marley Goddard]

And you know what? Make a joke about it. You want to sing her? Yeah.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

You call her a again.

[Stavi]

Okay, I guess let's. Did he. Did we get it? Is there anything else? There's a little more, but this is the gist. It's the gist. Okay. So. So all right, I guess. Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

I want to make things right.

[Stavi]

So if you want to make things right, the speech is not how you do it. You apologize to her. This idea that everybody knows this, that this happened is weird. That you think this. You honestly might think too highly. I can't tell what's going on here. Whether you have too high self esteem or what your deal is something, though. There is a crucial piece of information we're missing. That kind of explains the family dynamic dynamics, I think either way, whatever it is, you have sound, by your own admission, you. You've glossed over them. But you seem to have been a multiple times here. So what you're thinking is not going to get you out of this. So what you want to do, which is make light of it and be forgiven by being so charming and funny, which we don't. I don't think you got it in you. I don't think you got it in you, pal. But even if you did, let's say you did, right? Let's say you possibly could do it. It's not the right thing to do. The right thing to do is to talk to your sister in law completely privately. It is not about what other people think. And if that means that you're spe. And by the way, if you're thinking like, well, my speech, I'm like, you know, thank you, thank you.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, I'm like also obsessed with. It's like you just have like untherapized men calling in and asking genuine help that they don't have people to talk about their feelings. And I'm like, you really are like, it's really beautiful. So I'm just like, huh. Yeah.

[Stavi]

And so I guess my point is like, let's say in a perfect world, you could pull it off and it would make your speech better. The fact that you, like, you should do the thing that makes your speech worse but makes your sister feel better. That's how you should be thinking about it. You should sacrifice this great zinger to be a better brother in law. Even though. Even though that. That's be very clear. That zinger doesn't exist. The universe where you can pull it off doesn't exist. But let's. It does. You can think of it as you making a big sacrifice to help your family by just keeping the speech about, you know, not. And by an embarrassing incident. And by the way, we all speak publicly for a living. There's no way that would work. You could not pull this off for telling you that. But yes, go talk to your sister in law, actually apologize, actually mean it, and that's all you have to do. And then just write a regular fucking speech. And also, by the way, you might. It might be a nice opportunity to talk to your brother too, and just be like, sorry I used to beat the out of you. You know, that might. That might be appropriate as well. Hit us with another one, little ld. Oh, that ought to do it, folks. That's the twisted ass up question of

[Edie Modica]

the week

[Marley Goddard]

that comes down.

[Stavi]

And look, at the end of the day with your new family, get together and crack open an ice cold twisted tea. You know twisted. Keep it twisted, man. I'm gonna take a sip. Next question. Little eldest.

[Edie Modica]

I wish.

[Caller]

What up, Slavi baby? Big lb. Honored guests. My last message ran too long, so I'm gonna shorten it up. I got a buddy, he invited me to a music sess festival. It's a techno festival and it's in Detroit.

[Edie Modica]

Cool.

[Caller]

And it is long, grueling and brutal. You gotta earn okay your way in. And you gotta cut your teeth on other events. You can't really go there as a rookie. So he invited me. We had an amazing time. The following year I met this gal and been with her and she's huge in tech. No. She's also done the festival circuit. So she knows what she's doing. So I invited her along with. I wanted her to be there and to experience it like. Like I had. We all went and we had a great time. But after everything finished up, he said he didn't really want to go again next year if she goes. Because he felt kind of like a third wheel. Now me and her kept our, you know, we kept it friend vibes during the. The actual festival. I told her, you know, hey,

[Stavi]

in the middle act. What are you talking about? You kept it friend vibes, right? He's gonna be the third wheel, you fucking asshole. He's there with a couple.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, my old roommate did go to Coachella and masturbate in the crowd to what I think it was like lord or something.

[Stavi]

Like super cut, like kind of just a little bit for their own or like out in the open or I

[Marley Goddard]

think like the crowd like in his like jeans or whatever.

[Stavi]

I'm like, that's wild. That's a wild move.

[Caller]

I don't want him to feel like a third wheel. So we gotta like, you know, roll with him and be all inclusive. We don't want to like go off and do our own thing. But he said the vibe was totally different. For instance, you know, me and him, we tend to stay up for like multiple days on end and she wanted to turn in early sometimes time.

[Stavi]

So, yeah, things changed a little bit

[Caller]

now going to the next year. He says he doesn't want to go. She's gonna go again because the vibe is different and she really wants to go now that her okay. You know, she's experienced it. She's like, holy. I really want to go again. So I messed up. I brought it a gal to. To, you know, a bro situation to deal with the consequences. I don't want him to not go because he's a great buddy of mine, him on music, we like, get down like that. So I know it's important to him, but I also.

[Stavi]

It's awesome that they're not gay. Everything he says sounds gay.

[Edie Modica]

Like, get down like that.

[Caller]

Now that she's been exposed to it, she thinks it's the best thing ever, which it is. So I guess my. My chickens are coming home to roost, and I guess I'm a little lost on what to do. I feel bad for. For both of them. I put both them in this situation that sucks. And I'm a idiot.

[Stavi]

But okay, yeah, I get some advice.

[Edie Modica]

You're being mean to yourself.

[Marley Goddard]

I know.

[Edie Modica]

I'm a idiot, I guess.

[Stavi]

Well, no, no, but he's being mean to himself in the way that, like, that's also a way to deflect blame where, like, I'm just so stupid. I'm just such a piece of.

[Caller]

Right?

[Marley Goddard]

It's like, take accountability. Where it's like, wait, actually. But it's like, you're not like, what do you want?

[Edie Modica]

What do you do with him?

[Marley Goddard]

What do you want? He wants both of these things.

[Stavi]

He wants them. He basically. He wants his friend to just be like, I don't care. I'll kill. Yeah, it is a weird situation because I do think there is a faux pas that he. Look, there's nothing wrong with. If you're gonna go somewhere and just like, yeah, it happens sometimes where it's like, yeah, if you're dating somebody and you have a friend who's single, sometimes it ends up being like a third wheel situation. Who cares? The place where it's a little bit of a faux pas here is that he did take the thing his friend introduced him to, and he now made it a. So it's not. I wouldn't. My general advice wouldn't be like. I would generally tell the third wheel to be like, all right, man, that does suck. But if it's just like an event that he wants to bring his girlfriend to, Unless you had some explicit, like, oh, this is like our tradition, then whatever. People can bring their significant others. But the fact that it was their thing to me is I see where the friend is coming from, I guess.

[Edie Modica]

Right.

[Stavi]

Normally I would tell the friend, like, you know, if it's just a general thing, it's like, hey, whatever. I mean, this is just growing up, right? Like, people have fucking Loves. Okay. But in a time where it is kind of explicitly a. Like, ah, this was our thing. So I get where his friend is coming from.

[Edie Modica]

Say that, like, I'm sure he asked the friend, can I bring my girlfriend to this festival? And then the friend realized he didn't like it.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah.

[Edie Modica]

So the friend should bring a few. Friend.

[Stavi]

I. Yeah, I also don't think it's that big deal because, yeah, the friend should bring a friend.

[Marley Goddard]

So is. Is she his girlfriend? Because like. Like when he brought her, there was just friends vibe or it's like, are they just together at the show?

[Stavi]

He's with the girl.

[Marley Goddard]

Okay. He's with the girl.

[Edie Modica]

I think he's saying we weren't acting weird or nothing at the festival.

[Marley Goddard]

Like, we weren't like, coupling. But it's like, well, it's like. I mean, as somebody who's like, always single, it's like, it is just. Just. It's tough to feel that loneliness. And then when you're, like, on a bender, I'm sure doing a bunch of drugs, where it's like you're on high highs and really low lows, and it's like you need somebody who's like, your person. And then it's like, oh, your buddy is actually with somebody else. And it's like, okay, yeah, maybe it's bring some. Like, is there another person that he could bring? Maybe he doesn't have any. He had. Doesn't have friends. But I'm sure it's like a music festival that it's like techno where I'm like, you could find.

[Edie Modica]

Find your family there.

[Marley Goddard]

Find your plural. Have you heard of Plur babes?

[Edie Modica]

I feel like maybe they could alternate. Alternate years. You bring the girl, you bring them.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm choking on damn twisted tea.

[Edie Modica]

It went down the wrong pipe earlier

[Marley Goddard]

because it's so twisty

[Caller]

twisted.

[Stavi]

So, yeah, this is because. Also I would say to the friend, because I guess. I guess there's two ways this goes. Either the caller here is completely overreacting, and the guy's like, hey, look, I'm just. This isn't really my thing. Like, you seem to have fun with your girl. Like, I'm just gonna. Whatever. But also, if the friend is like. If the friend is almost doing it, like, ultimatum style. That's pathetic too. Yeah, because it's like. And look, I get it. I've. I've talked about this before where it's like, there have been times in my life where it's like, yeah, I'm the most immature. I'm the most emotionally immature person of my friend group. Without question.

[Caller]

Right.

[Stavi]

Like, everybody's ahead of me, life wise. Well, I would say, like, you know, Elda's was in a serious relationship. Our friend Christina got engaged when we were living together. And there have been moments where it's like when you're like. I've charted it at different periods of my life where it's like when you're like 23 or whatever. And so someone like. And you're like, best friend gets a girlfriend. It's like, dude. But like, we chill.

[Marley Goddard]

I know.

[Stavi]

And this is stopping us from chilling. And it's like, it's lazy.

[Marley Goddard]

She wants to go to bed. We're doing whippings at 4am, bro. Like, who else am I gonna do that with?

[Stavi]

And so this is just a tough situation where it's like, your friend should not keep having that thought. Like, you have to. And if you find yourself being jealous of a friend's romantic partner, you're pathetic and you need to grow up. Right. Or unless you're secretly in love with them, that's that. Then you get a pass. But either way, you have to act on it one way or the other. But so to. But if you're. It's actually so much more pathetic to be jealous of a romantic partner and not want to your friend. That just means you're kind of a brat who's like, well, I want to hang out with my friend whenever I want, even if even it makes him not happy. Happy, even if it. Even if it takes away the best thing that ever happened to him so I could play Xbox with him later.

[Marley Goddard]

Well, it also seems like the friend was like, you know, men not manipulated, but is like, this is like an elitist techno festival. Like, you have to put in the work. It's like, my friend brought me in and like, now I have to, like, live. Like, also, it's like, he.

[Stavi]

That's really the thing that confused me

[Marley Goddard]

too, friends, I guess, you know? And so it's like he looks up to him. And maybe that was like the power dynamic that they had. And so it's like this. This almost older brother, like, being like, you gotta be cool to come hang out with me.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

And. But then it's like, well, you're not related. You're not dating. You're 30, you know.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

You're at. You're at a festival.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

You're at a techno festival. First of all, just.

[Stavi]

Let's stop there.

[Caller]

There.

[Marley Goddard]

That's a techno festival. Like, it's not that Big, honestly. Yeah, they should get a little crew. Go with like a group of six. Go with a crew, but it's a group of six.

[Stavi]

It's also so funny where his friends like his friend wants to stay up and drugs all night. It's like everything we've heard about the friend makes him sound like a idiot. You know where he's like, ah, if you're going to bring your girlfriend, I'm not coming. And he's like, yeah, are you going to bring her? You know what I mean?

[Marley Goddard]

It's like, no, but festival. I. I'm like, I guess I don't really go to them. But I'm like, yeah, taking drugs and staying up all night sounds fun.

[Stavi]

Yeah, it does.

[Marley Goddard]

It sounds fun. But also it's like, yeah. What is? What is. Yeah, yeah.

[Stavi]

I mean is she talking about just going to bed at like one or something? Probably 2am and he want. Wants to stay up?

[Edie Modica]

Well, she probably wants to go like it's cuddle time. After you've been dancing all night and like having this amazing experience. It's time to go make out in

[Stavi]

the town, lie down.

[Edie Modica]

And the other guy's like, I'm still going, but he should go find a girl at the festival. That's what they're for. Like. Or a guy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Stavi]

Wow. How dare you.

[Marley Goddard]

Or something in between.

[Edie Modica]

I feel the. I'm allowed to mess up up because I am a chaser.

[Stavi]

What do you mean by that? You have a boyfriend who's rich. We just went over this.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah, but I'm allowed to do.

[Marley Goddard]

She can have desire.

[Stavi]

You mean desire we openly.

[Edie Modica]

If I wanted to hook up with someone, I would be allowed. I'll say that.

[Stavi]

Oh, nice.

[Edie Modica]

But it's not. I don't like labeling it. It's just like we just talk about everything. We're not dead. Okay.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Yeah. And I would say to give. To end this call with a little. Just a little constructive stuff whichever way you go with this. Because it does feel like it's a. Either you do crew or it becomes one or the other person's thing.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Stavi]

And whoever it. Whoever loses out on this, you should make it up to them in some way.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Stavi]

Like because I we also on this pod, you know, on the pod we understand that there are. You do need bro time. Sometimes you do need to just like there's. Sometimes it does. It can you do want to have a stag party of some kind. You know, it's not. Not everything's got to be co Ed.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

There's a lot. There's a lot of festivals.

[Stavi]

There's ways to figure it out. But, yeah, they can hang out.

[Marley Goddard]

With my dad, he's always going to festival. I'm like, this could be my. About my dad. Honestly, this might be about my dad. Straight up.

[Stavi]

[Caller]

Hi, Savi and guest. I was calling for a little bit of advice on a work related question.

[Marley Goddard]

Okay, let's go.

[Caller]

I am a woman in a male dominated job market.

[Edie Modica]

I guess

[Marley Goddard]

you think you need to leave the room.

[Caller]

Child market, I guess. And I'm in charge of my department and in the place that I work, there's other departments, and consistently, the whole time that I've worked there, guys from other departments will either hit on me, ask me out, ask people for my number, whatever. It's not that big of a deal. It's not that inconvenient.

[Marley Goddard]

Why are you complaining?

[Stavi]

We turn on her.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

I mean, yeah, you got a job, but you can find a husband. You know what's more important?

[Marley Goddard]

Then you could have a baby. Maternity leave.

[Stavi]

What's the point of being a woman? Make porridge and clean.

[Caller]

How to shoot people down. Pull out. But recently it's come to my attention that one of my employees on my team has been complaining to the other guys that I'm so friendly or like cordial, I guess, with the guys from other departments that have hit on me in the past and that I'm giving mixed signals.

[Edie Modica]

Oh, my God.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, my.

[Stavi]

He works.

[Caller]

My question is, it's kind of like a. There's options here. Do I address that with the employee? Because he didn't say it to me, might cause drama. That's unnecessary. And people are allowed to complain about their boss. It's kind of fine, but it kind of hurts my feelings because I don't really know how else I'm supposed to go about that kind of thing. I can't really force people to not hit on me.

[Stavi]

Of course.

[Caller]

And I can't just ignore everybody that does it, you know? But do I address it with the employee or do I adjust my behavior? Like I think I just need a man that I don't know, you know? Thank you.

[Stavi]

See? Quiet down. She is smart, it turns out.

[Marley Goddard]

I mean,

[Stavi]

this woman's a genius. She knows what she's missing. A podcaster, A male podcast opinion. I'm gonna.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm gonna actively listen here. I'm just kind of like, is HR a Thing of the past now.

[Stavi]

Yeah. I mean, HR is just. But here's the thing. If you're the boss.

[Marley Goddard]

Right, Right.

[Stavi]

It's like, I fully understand where she's coming from because as a boss, you don't. HR is snitching.

[Marley Goddard]

Right, Right. And you also. She wants to just deal with it and you don. Turn on.

[Stavi]

You don't want people to think that you're like. Yeah. That you're the kind of. And also, unfortunately, it feeds into female stereotypes too. Of like, oh, she can't handle a little whatever the.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Stavi]

Like, oh, she had to go back and get me in trouble.

[Edie Modica]

That I'm confused about what happened with the employee. Like, about what happened.

[Stavi]

I think what happened is. So this woman worked.

[Marley Goddard]

You know, she works.

[Stavi]

Absolutely. She works in tech or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[Marley Goddard]

All right.

[Stavi]

So you know. Know how some Barbies have jobs? You know, like there's like a Barbie

[Edie Modica]

who's like business Barbie.

[Stavi]

Like, business Barbie. Great.

[Edie Modica]

I love her little.

[Marley Goddard]

The woman is the boss.

[Stavi]

Yeah, I know. It's crazy. So I think what's happened. So basically she's just. Let's say she works at like a tech company.

[Caller]

Right.

[Stavi]

She's one of bar. There's barely any one women. Everybody in this office, you know, one guy from each department hits on her. Right. And she just kind of whatever, you know, lets it go. And then one of her employees apparently is complaining that she's like leading people on, I guess, effectively. Right. Like she gives people mixed signals that whatever.

[Edie Modica]

Like there's a reason they're hitting on her.

[Caller]

May.

[Stavi]

I don't even know exactly. It's unclear what his. What the nature of his complaint is like. So, like, it's unclear if he's mad that she's not nice to him or that whatever. Who knows? It's unclear. But either way. And look, here's my knee jerk reaction. And then we can all discuss as a group and see if I'm wrong or what.

[Edie Modica]

Or what it is your podcast.

[Marley Goddard]

Not for long.

[Stavi]

But I. I think you don't. You do not change your behavior because of this because that shows weakness from your un. Underlings. If Elvis was talking to me, I'm not changing my behavior because of Elvis. I'm sitting elders down. I'm going shut the up. Don't you ever say that about me. But I do think actually now, look, she gives. She makes a good point where it's like they're just rumors. You're allowed to complain about your boss. I think what I would say is if, like If. If there's any, like, credible way that this comes back to you that's above a rumor that you can sit him in the office and be like, don't speak to like. Cause you're his boss. You're his fucking boss. You're like, listen, you can complain about me, whatever you want to do on your own time. It doesn't matter. Don't. You don't spread rumors about me in the office. I'm your superior. You're not going to do that. You're not going to do that in. You know, this is what it takes. It's. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. I put up with it to make this, you know, to make this office work, but better. But if we h I. And I don't want to, you got to make it clear that it's like, I'm not the kind of person who goes to hr. I'm handling my own in house. If you want to take it that way. If you want me to put on your record that you're the kind of guy who gossips about his female boss.

[Edie Modica]

Oh, I'll do it.

[Stavi]

Exactly.

[Marley Goddard]

Exactly.

[Stavi]

I do think you need to drop your nuts on this guy a little bit personally.

[Marley Goddard]

You're going to have to. Girl boss. Like, you are a girl boss. Just girl boss. Because it's obvious this guy is insecure that he has a woman as a boss and probably also treats women not. Probably amazing outside of the workplace.

[Stavi]

Yeah, it's possible.

[Marley Goddard]

So it's like, yeah, just like, I would say, be a girl boss. And it's hard because it's like, what? You either take it or they think you're like a. Yeah, being a woman is hard.

[Stavi]

Sure.

[Marley Goddard]

And then, like, being. And then it's like, but you want to be. It's like, there might be, like, a one woman in another department that it's like, if you have, like, like this conversation, she's gonna look up to you. You know, it's like, I think there actually is, like, a cool opportunity that you can kind of be intentional, but it's also just like, yes, sit them down. Be like, I mean, if it was me, I'd be like, you are delusional if you ever think that I am flirting with you in this work. We are here to work.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

I have my outside life. Like, it's like, please can we not not do. It's like, I would be like, I'd rather you think that, like, I'm a. Than like, think that I'm flirting with you, because that will never Be the case. Let's end that here right now. Let's get back to work. Morale, high donuts tomorrow.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Caller]

I do.

[Stavi]

I do think it's something. Absolutely. I do think it's something that highlights pure professionalism. Be like, it's uncompletely unprofessional for anyone in this office to think we'll be dating. We're here to work. It's very impressionable for you to be spe. You know, talking about me by my back, whatever. But at the same time, I will say you this. That's only if this raises to the level of a problem. Because it's also possible that you just care what these fucking pieces of shit think too much. That's a possibility, right? Like you said, people are going to talk about their boss, whatever. So I think there's twofold things here for you. You have to let this shit go. And you need to work on not being affected by. By this. And that's hard because. Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

Yeah. Having to deal with that all the

[Stavi]

time is so fucking annoying.

[Edie Modica]

Or it's just like she even.

[Stavi]

She preten. Isn't like you're not giving yourself enough credit. You're like, whatever. It's not a big deal. Someone every day tries to you at work. That's annoying. You know what I mean?

[Marley Goddard]

That's. You live in hell.

[Stavi]

You live in.

[Marley Goddard]

In corporate hell. In a corporate job.

[Stavi]

Those are hell already.

[Marley Goddard]

I won't talk about this, but I. I am empathizing, girl. I'm empathizing with you.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Literally. Men in the workplace. If y' all had a woman in this workplace, I'd feel so sorry for her.

[Stavi]

We do have one, but she does work remotely most of the time.

[Marley Goddard]

Good, good.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Do not work, sweetie.

[Stavi]

Oh, you heard it. We can't hire any women. I wanted to, but they won't let me.

[Edie Modica]

I also feel like the second she.

[Stavi]

I did think that.

[Marley Goddard]

And why didn't you speak up? I thought you were a chaser. I thought you were an ally. Huh, Edie. I thought you had my back. I guess I'm non binary again.

[Stavi]

A bunch of women.

[Edie Modica]

I just feel like the second she confronts him, he's gonna be like, I. I didn't.

[Stavi]

But also confronting it gives him almost two. You almost raise it in seriousness.

[Edie Modica]

Yes.

[Stavi]

Where it's like, I don't think you're like, time. I honestly don't. I really don't. But I also think you need to work on not getting your feelings hurt by. By them, because this sucks. Dick. It's not going to get it. This shit's not going to change in our lifetime. Like, maybe it will by the end of your career, but unfortunately, there's how should work and there's like, the reality of surviving in these environments. And it's like, this is going to be, you know, in a male dominant space. This is how this shit's going to go. And I think you can't let it get to you. And if it raises to the level of a problem, you do have to just. Yeah, grab girl boss.

[Marley Goddard]

Right. The thing is, it's like a guy in, like, a boss or power position, like, wouldn't even be thinking critically. Like, you are in this. Like, you're absolutely. He would literally just not. He would. The employee. Like, you know, it's like they're not thinking. Exactly. So it's like, at least you are, you know, thinking about this. But it's like, I think, yeah, you're thinking too hard or you're thinking too hard. Be strong. You got this, girl.

[Stavi]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Marley Goddard]

Go. Go be a millennial girl boss.

[Stavi]

Absolutely.

[Marley Goddard]

Yes.

[Stavi]

You have permission to do that. Give us something fun to go out on. Little eldest.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Marley Goddard]

Hey, Savi.

[Caller]

Big fan. Patreon subscriber.

[Stavi]

Yeah.

[Edie Modica]

Thank you.

[Caller]

Live in San Francisco. You're the best.

[Stavi]

Thank you.

[Caller]

This is not really a question, but more a funny story. So I'm like a gay non binary who lives in the Bay Area.

[Marley Goddard]

Oh, you're a gay non binary who lives in the Bay Area. Like, whoopsie do everybody else.

[Stavi]

Okay.

[Marley Goddard]

You work at the farmer's market,

[Caller]

who lives in the Bay Area. And it was Pride weekend, all past weekend. And I was out at like, an underground trans rave in San Francisco. And I'm walking around this rave like, you know, people are sucking and sucking everywhere. There's a dance floor. It's a whole scene. And I walk past, asked this person who is literally a doppelganger of you to the point where, like, I got so excited.

[Stavi]

I promise you, this is the fattest, baldest person you've ever seen in your life. Never in my life has anyone said, this is a doppelganger. And it's been cool, but it's probably

[Marley Goddard]

like a stone butch. Yeah, it's probably like a non binary, like.

[Stavi]

But I will say this is probably way more reasonable of a doppelganger ganger for me than just a fat guy. I bet. Yeah, you'll find a butch that has the exact same. Is wearing.

[Marley Goddard]

You have a. You have a. A lesbian type of swag. Absolutely not. Every fat guy has so absolutely.

[Stavi]

No, no, I. That's interesting.

[Marley Goddard]

They are on to something. It's warm.

[Stavi]

All right, let's. Let's keep going to the tea.

[Caller]

To the point where like I got so excited. I thought. Yeah. You yourself was in this stinky transgender rape party.

[Marley Goddard]

You could just say stinky or transgender. You don't have to say both. Okay, like, we get it. You love adjectives. We just need one that means the same thing. Okay. Afraid.

[Caller]

Let's go. But no, just a doppelganger. And to boot, this person was wearing a T shirt with your face on.

[Stavi]

Oh my God.

[Caller]

There were two stabbies.

[Stavi]

Okay.

[Caller]

So yeah, he had the hair, the mustache, the. The body.

[Marley Goddard]

Body.

[Caller]

The round head,

[Marley Goddard]

the very convincing square.

[Caller]

I just wanted to let you know.

[Marley Goddard]

So did you suck and the dog,

[Stavi]

did you suck me off? Because are you even a real fan if you don't suck. Fake me off while they're wearing a T shirt of me.

[Marley Goddard]

Fake fan.

[Stavi]

Yeah. Sounds like you're not right.

[Marley Goddard]

I'm like, you do pro. Like if you were, I mean, you went to San Francisco, but if it's like you went to a pride party, like you would pull like gay non binary in the Bay Area, perhaps like you could. You could start a cult there.

[Stavi]

For sure. I would like to actually. We did a movie that we started. Maybe. Maybe I should.

[Marley Goddard]

Was it in the Bay Area?

[Stavi]

No, no, it was in Chicago. That's right. But I do sometimes think about how awesome would be to start a. Just to actually start a cult. Just a sex cult.

[Edie Modica]

I think you would have no problem.

[Stavi]

Have to be a sex cult. Cuz imagine starting a cult and not getting to every. That's the whole point.

[Marley Goddard]

No, the whole point is you get

[Stavi]

sucked by everybody's wife. So who. Check it out, guys.

[Marley Goddard]

Tell me.

[Stavi]

I have to actually. All your wives.

[Caller]

That's weird.

[Marley Goddard]

Literally. I'm going to start a cult too. It's going to be. It's gonna be. It's gonna be against your call.

[Stavi]

Okay.

[Marley Goddard]

And then my. I'm gonna give everybody AIDS in mine and then they're gonna come over to yours. And then you're all gonna do like a ritualistic like killing up yourself.

[Edie Modica]

I'm gonna kind of do my own thing.

[Marley Goddard]

Right.

[Edie Modica]

Some trans guys, we're gonna do like a one on one.

[Marley Goddard]

Yeah. So the same thing again, furries, you probably have a lot of furry fans.

[Stavi]

Know. Sound off. Sound off in the comments. Send us your fur. Send us your fursona.

[Marley Goddard]

You're like the last time I texted you was actually a friend that was trying to. You probably get that so much.

[Stavi]

Oh, nice. Tell your friend what's up with your friend.

[Marley Goddard]

No, I.

[Stavi]

Let's end the episode. We have. We have something to discuss, but. No, we do. That. That is going to do it for us. For real. This was so fun. This was so. Come back sometime. We had a blast. Edie. Edie and Marley, go check out. Go check out the special on veeps.com as. As said. And it comes out in her father's word for real. In September.

[Marley Goddard]

[Edie Modica]

[Marley Goddard]

wondering if it was like, I can

[Stavi]

It's very funny.

[Marley Goddard]
