New York.
Esther

Esther
It's just great. It's. I. It's like, such a rejuvenating place. The sun. I love a car. Everybody here drives like, a. So I get to like, vroom, vroom around, you know?
Jenna
Sounds like he comes here for, like, a spa day.
Esther
It's true. Do you go to the Korean spa last night? Yeah.
Kalila
Which one?
Esther
Bobby took me to we Spa.
Kalila
Of course. I want to high five you, but I can't.
Esther
Let's do eight. Yes.
Jenna
Every time you guys want to high five, we'll just high five.
Esther
Yeah. Oh, I want to kiss her.
Jenna
Wait, can we talk about when we. The last time I went to we Spa was actually with you. And the reason I don't go there anymore was because there was poop on the ledge of one of the hot tubs.
Esther
What?
Jenna
Yes.
Esther
Well, I don't.
Kalila
I feel like that's just performance art. And allowed.
Esther
I didn't have my glasses, so I couldn't see. So I'm walking around naked going, bobby, Bobby, where are you? It was out of control.
Kalila
This is the first time you've been, like, naked in front of him.
Esther
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kalila
How was it?
Jenna
It was great.
Kalila
Was he being weird? No, because it's sort of like his power move, right? Where it's like he has. He makes you parody. Oh, you did?
Esther
Oh, yeah. I alpha dogged out of.
Kalila
I was thinking you would be the only person to do that because you have no qualms about being.
Esther
There were these guys that came up and one of them was naked and the other guy had his clothes on. He's like, I don't. I don't want to get naked. And Bobby and I had the shorts on and the shirt, so I pulled the shorts off, like Winnie the Pooh. Shirt on, pants off. I was like, come on, man, just get naked. We're all doing it.
Ian Finance
You did not. You did that to a guy you don't know.
Jenna
Yeah, I love it. I love it. I do that to people.
Esther
Yeah. It's about time us gals make these straights feel uncomfortable.
Ian Finance
How did he react?
Esther
He took his clothes off. He's like, all right. Oh, my God, we sucked each other.
Kalila
I figured that was next.
Jenna
I don't think I felt like that happened before.
Esther
No, no, no.
Ian Finance
I genuinely don't think I'm ready for that experience. I don't think I'm Ready?
Jenna
You've never been?
Ian Finance
No.
Jenna
Are you?
Esther
I've never been naked in front of another man like that.
Ian Finance
Really? How?
Esther
To other men.
Ian Finance
But you loved it. It was easy.
Esther
Well, I didn't know. My glasses.
Kalila
You mean a non sexual way?
Esther
Yeah, in a non sexual way.
Kalila
You've definitely been naked with other men. In a sexual way? Yeah, but not like just friendship, guys.
Esther
Hanging out like a week ago. No, I'm kidding. Yeah. No, not just hanging out like. So what's going. How was your spot at the store?
Ian Finance
Wait, but.
Jenna
So you think it was different because you couldn't see? Because you don't care if they see you.
Esther
Whatever. But I like, we were in the thing and I was like. Did I tell you I got a new watch?
Jenna
You left the watch on in like the steam room.
Kalila
Don't they give you a little bracelet?
Jenna
Yeah, do.
Esther
But I wrapped my. Around my wrist. Look, I got a new watch.
Jenna
And.
Esther
There was a TV on and they're playing like tennis. And there was. Bobby was like, oh, she's cute. I was like, I can't see. So I walked up to the TV like an old man. I liked it. It just. I feel like I'm embracing being.
Kalila
Did you. Which spa did you like best? Do you like the clay room? The jade room? The clay.
Jenna
What happened with the stones? The clay?
Kalila
The clay is the little balls of clay.
Jenna
Esther. And tell her because she doesn't know.
Kalila
Can we just go one day?
Ian Finance
No, it sounds so unsanitary.
Esther
And, well, you wear slippers. You don't get like, you know, fungus on your feet.
Jenna
But what about when you lay down with your hole? You know what? I never thought these things when I used to go.
Esther
And now when you're right, I'm in the plaything. You have shorts and a shirt on because it's co ed.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther
Oh, and when you go in the jade room. Look, I'm a professional now. I know the rooms.
Kalila
Did you go into the room that was like 300,000 degrees?
Ian Finance
Oh, I like that.
Esther
I don't know. I kind of blacked out.
Ian Finance
Wait, can you please tell me what happens in the clay room?
Jenna
It's like balls, little balls.
Esther
What are those? Balls?
Kalila
They're just hot clay balls.
Ian Finance
And you sit in it and you.
Jenna
Just lay like, even everywhere on the floor. It's not just that they're like somewhere, it's everywhere. It's like if there was.
Esther
There's like a wood plank you walk on to, like, ingratiate yourself into it. And again, like, I don't want to keep Leaning on this. But I can't emphasize enough how blind I am without my glasses. And I didn't know there was, like, depth to the clay.
Jenna
So he can tell you how the clay feels.
Esther
And I like. I, like, fell into the clay. Like it was a whole.
Jenna
Like a McDonald's.
Ian Finance
That's what I would do.
Kalila
I.
Ian Finance
If we could go to a place where there's a ball pit, a pit of foam, a trampoline. I think it's called Sky Zone.
Jenna
Yeah, that's Sky Zone.
Ian Finance
Let's do that.
Esther
You're talking about.
Kalila
I would venture to say that is so much more. Not hygienic.
Jenna
Yeah.
Kalila
Because some place that is steamed out and kids everywhere.
Esther
Steam does something to the diseases.
Ian Finance
I think it makes them stronger.
Jenna
No, it doesn't. Steam, actually. When there's a higher. What's it called? Humidity level. The viruses can't live in the air as much as they do in dry.
Esther
That's why nobody got Covid in, like, Argentina.
Ian Finance
And that has to be something you made up.
Esther
No one had it by the equator.
Kalila
Like, 100% humidity, and everyone got it.
Esther
Brazil is a nightmare.
Ian Finance
What's going on? Are you dating? Are you single?
Esther
Oh, my goodness.
Ian Finance
Esther.
Esther
Dude, I haven't seen you talk more about the clay room. Well.
Jenna
Oh, oh, have a seasoning.
Esther
No, I'm not dating anyone specifically.
Ian Finance
Okay.
Jenna
But you're dating.
Esther
Yeah, I mean, I'm. I'm, you know, having fun, enjoying myself. Seeing multiple people safely. Honestly love that. Speaking and letting them know this is what I'm doing. And if you're okay with it, cool. If you're not, that's fine too. And we can be pals. And it's. I've never been happier.
Ian Finance
Jenna is formerly. Was in an open relationship, so she's really.
Jenna
And the.
Esther
The.
Jenna
The what?
Esther
You always. Formerly.
Jenna
It's never currently, but it was, like, for six years, and we're still in the same relationship. And, like, we can go back and forth as.
Esther
So then why the little ones say formerly?
Jenna
Oh, because we're now exclusive.
Kalila
They're close. It's a close relationship now.
Jenna
Oh, we're still together. Yeah.
Esther
That's amazing.
Jenna
It's been 12 years. We go back and forth between, like, open clothed.
Esther
As long as we communicate with each other completely and honestly without judgment or contempt. I think you can do anything. That's amazing.
Jenna
Yeah. And just being vulnerable and, like, you're still gonna feel emotions. You're not a robot. But what I loved was that you were like. And I'm explaining to each of those People. Because that's how I was. Like, right off the bat, I'm like, hey, in an open relationship, I don't belittle it. I say, like, he's my love. We want to be.
Esther
I'm not in, like, an open.
Ian Finance
Right.
Jenna
You're just.
Esther
I'm not.
Jenna
Like, you're just dating, but the communication. Okay, yeah.
Esther
Okay, wait, wait.
Kalila
When was the last time you were, like, in love? Like. Like, mush out. Like, feeling like, I want to just live inside this person in love.
Esther
An ex that I had after an incredibly traumatic and abusive relationship in 2021. And when we shacked up, I said, look, I. I don't know how this is gonna go, but I am gonna love you with everything I have. And if it lasts six months, great. Five years, great. A year, whatever. I want, no regrets. And that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna dive in with everything I have. And so that was 2021. We did for, like, a year and a half. She moved in right away, which was a mistake.
Jenna
And that's very lesbian of you.
Ian Finance
Yeah.
Esther
Yeah.
Kalila
Y.
Esther
What it is. I ain't got no time.
Kalila
And then how, on a level of zero to soul, crushed. Where were you when it ended?
Esther
Oh, she moved out and took the cat. We got together, and it's actually the reason why the podcast started, because instead of going into, like, a depression spiral, I deep cleaned the apartment and did everything she had wanted me to do before. Like, look, I can fix things. And then I built the podcast studio because I was like, I'm not gonna, like, lose my mind. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna throw myself in my creativity. I. I hit up all my friends and filled up my road dates with, like, road work with them so I wouldn't be in town. And I did. I left her a letter when she got all. I packed up all her stuff, and that was, like, very therapeutic. And when she came to get it, I wasn't there, and I left a letter that was like, look, I thank you for the best year in my life. Thank you for letting me know I could love again. Thank you for loving me. I will always love you, and I will always be there for you. And I left you a wall thermometer to measure the temperature of your cold, freezing heart. I love that.
Jenna
Very honest and communicative.
Ian Finance
Did she respond?
Esther
We ended up getting back together, and all the problems we had didn't go away.
Jenna
Oh, so you stop. You didn't clean it ever again that one time?
Esther
Yeah. I started to live In Phil.
Jenna
I can deep clean.
Esther
No, we didn't. We weren't in a relationship for. She immediately started dating a guy that had everything. It was like the total op. It was like his job security. He. I know where he is. He just sits at a bar that I work at, like, you know, some fat loser that I almost beat the fuck out of. But then I realized that's not what an adult does, and I don't have to use violence to solve my problems.
Jenna
And then you went to the clay room.
Esther
And then the clay room saved me.
Jenna
Wait, but.
Ian Finance
Okay, I think it's so. I would be so happy if I was heartbroken. And then they go for the opposite of you because you know what really sucks is when you're heartbroken and then they go for someone. You're like, that's just me again.
Jenna
Yeah.
Ian Finance
Why couldn't it just have. Why couldn't you have just stayed with me?
Esther
Yeah, I can give you a lot of reasons why they wouldn't. Where do you want to start?
Jenna
No, but yes. It's like, okay, go to something that's like, oh, yeah, I couldn't have done that for you.
Ian Finance
It's like, okay, a petite brunette right here. You had her.
Kalila
Why?
Ian Finance
And then you marry her. Why her?
Jenna
Sounds like you're upset about something.
Ian Finance
No, I'm not upset about my high school ex breaking up with me. I'm not.
Jenna
That's what I was thinking.
Kalila
I have a question for you guys. With a breakup like that, you threw yourself into the work getting busy. What is better for healing? To distract yourself or to just sit in the pain and the filth of the broken pieces of your heart?
Esther
Deal with it later. You have to. To wait, because I. What?
Kalila
This is such a guy answer.
Jenna
Oh, my God.
Kalila
This is why you guys never heal, by the way. It was a trick question. It was a trick question.
Esther
You. Do you hear me right now? I am healed. And this one's like, ah, I'm chills with the communication. What are you talking about? I'm in a clay room. I'm doing great.
Kalila
You're blind.
Esther
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm blind. Walking around. Go. Literally going up to men that kind of are short and kind of junkie. And go, Bobby.
Jenna
I feel like Bobby also never responded.
Esther
Oh, he would come out of the steam room and go, dude, I'm over here.
Jenna
Hey, friend, friend, friend.
Esther
Hey.
Kalila
Hey, over here.
Esther
It was the best. I had so much fun.
Ian Finance
I think it's got a hog. It has to be a combo. Wait, what?
Kalila
Okay, tell me.
Jenna
Yeah, you're Right.
Ian Finance
It has to be a combo. You have to distract and feel it. You cannot sit. What does just feel it mean? Sit in bed and eat ice cream. Like in the morning.
Kalila
Wallow, baby. I wallow.
Jenna
I was not moving.
Kalila
I don' Literally passing away before your very eyes. And then I listen to the saddest music. Oh, dude, I. I make myself so sad. So when I'm out of it, I am free, wallowing.
Esther
What does that. That get you?
Kalila
It gets me to my bottom very.
Esther
Fast, and then I'm free and disassociate and. Well, I do. The. The abusive relationship I was in, that was terrible. It. Oh, I. It was during the pandemic, so there's, like, nothing but time. But that was, like, good in a way. But to your point.
Jenna
Fuck.
Esther
I don't want to admit you're kind of right, but I was going through, like, a tissue box a week, and there's this song by Ryan Adams called Walk in the Dark, and I would listen to that and just sob.
Kalila
I definitely sobbed to Ryan Adams until I found out what Ryan Adams did. Then.
Esther
Well, then I'd stop because I'm like, I can't like you anymore.
Kalila
Exactly.
Esther
But I still like your music.
Kalila
And I'll listen secretly, right?
Esther
No, openly. I don't care. I was on my bike because I have a speaker and I listen to music.
Jenna
Yeah.
Esther
And this guy pulled up next to me and he goes, ryan Adams, Really? And I go, yeah, I like his music. He's a piece of. And I have no problem saying that, but you can't deny his music's good. He goes, you know what? You're right.
Jenna
Have a good day.
Kalila
It is true.
Ian Finance
I will have this experience lately where I'll be scrolling tick tock, a Kanye song comes on. I'm like, oh, no.
Jenna
Why is it good?
Ian Finance
Because he's the word. Like, I hope he goes away forever and, like, learns his lesson. I hate him so much. Actually. No, Hate is too strong. It's. He's nothing. But his music. He's nothing anyone.
Jenna
Do people feel that way about, like, Michael Jackson?
Kalila
Yeah, of course.
Jenna
Because, like, honestly, he's dead now, so I'm like, I can listen to him all I want.
Kalila
I think.
Esther
I think I can listen to anyone and. Okay, then don't listen to the Beatles. John Lennon beat the shit out of his wife.
Ian Finance
You know, like, okay, but Connie is selling swastika merch.
Esther
Yeah, he's a piece of shit, but you can't deny that fucking, you know, Jesus walks and my dark twisted fantasy are like, amazing pieces of art. You know, it's like, it sucks, but, like, a lot of. A lot of great artists do very bad things, you know? But I'm not going to change what I like just because I find out someone's a piece of shit.
Ian Finance
I thought you're going to be like, I'm not going to stop abusing people just because my comedy is good.
Esther
I needed that. Thank you for saying that. Yeah. You know what, someone. One of my favorite quotes is, if everybody likes you, then you're doing something wrong, 100%.
Kalila
And literally, as I was, I could blow you right now.
Esther
I. Well, she'll do it. And you know who said that? And I'm so glad you guys like that. Bill Cosby. And I will say, name one thing that man has done wrong.
Jenna
Wait, have you never heard that?
Ian Finance
No. There's a quote that I was thinking, because my new thing, when I lay down to sleep, it's either anxiety about hypochondria or, like, entrepreneurial.
Esther
Like, what?
Ian Finance
Wires spinning.
Esther
Have you been Gary Vee pilled?
Ian Finance
No, but that's a really good. Yes, but, like, there's this quote that's like, I can't tell you how to succeed, but I can tell you how to fail. Please everyone. I actually think it was. You know why I was thinking it is because we've had guests on the show where one group of people is really upset, and then the next week, a whole nother group of people is really upset. And I'm thinking about it. I'm like, you know, we can't please everyone.
Esther
To me recently, it was like a mind, but almost, like, freeing.
Ian Finance
How so?
Esther
I had a joke, and I was talking about being bisexual. I'm like, you know, I date men, women, trans women, and people on Twitter, which none of it's real. It's all fake. And you can choose which reality you live in. Do you want to live in this online world where then that narrative becomes true, or do you want to live in reality with tangible results? And humans. Humans and people and, like, things that tell you, no, this is real. And so all these trans people and, like, leftists on Twitter came after me because I didn't include trans women as women. And I. I've gotten so much hate from them before because I don't talk about the trans women I love properly to them. And it's, like, so insane. Like, I had a joke. I was in bed with this girl I was dating who's trans, and we were laughing about this joke that was about her that I got her permission, and she loved it. And I put it online and these people were like, he's a transphobic bigot. He's a chaser, and blah, blah. I'm like, what?
Kalila
This is the craziest part is that of anyone we've ever met, you've been the most.
Ian Finance
I know.
Kalila
Adoring of the trans community, like, and you've been open about it with no shame. And I. That's where you go to me.
Esther
But I don't do it the way they want me.
Jenna
But you're never gonna do it the way everyone wants.
Esther
My whole time publicly being like, it's okay to be with these people.
Ian Finance
I'm getting so mad.
Esther
Whether you see them as women or trans women, they're still people. And it doesn't matter, like, as long as you love them and treat them fairly like straight guys. It doesn't mean you're this gay guy if you're attracted to trans women. It just means you're a human. You're attracted to who you're attracted to. A lot of trans people online are just autistic men in dresses that want to be affirmed.
Jenna
Oh, God. Kalila.
Esther
Or trans people in real life are great. You know what I mean? What?
Kalila
Well.
Ian Finance
Oh, her ex.
Kalila
Her ex is. Okay, this is gonna blow your mind. I need you to wait.
Jenna
You're.
Esther
Wait.
Jenna
Those people who are getting mad.
Esther
I'm not wrong.
Kalila
Okay, so listen, it's kind how it's.
Esther
Also like a bunch of brick men in dresses trying to control how we speak, talk, and feel because men can't control people anymore. So they've figured out, well, if I do this, then people, you know, it's. It's all about power.
Jenna
And the thing is, you're also talking about an actual real experience relationship that you had. So that is specific to your relationship.
Esther
It was my experience as a. A guy, a man, dating trans women and changing my self hatred perception. And one of the jokes was, trans women are women because I can't find the clit on them either. And all these people are like, we're not. Don't reduce us to our genitals and blah, blah. And I'm literally like. Like, it's crazy, but. And then in the same breath, they'll be like, join my only fans and see my girl dick.
Jenna
People are always gonna feel, well, the thing is, I.
Esther
So that happened one week, and then the next week, this crazy alt right grifter took the. My clip of saying that because while I was saying that thing about being bisexual, some guy in the crowd who the entire set was yelling about politics and Trump.
Kalila
Ew.
Esther
And even during that, when he was started yelling about Trump, I was like, dude, you know what? Good for you for being who you are and not caring. Like, I gotta respect that. And some girl, like, booed him, and I was like, and you for judge. Like, none of these politicians care about us. You know, like, Kamala's not your mom and Bernie isn't bae. Like, these people truly don't care.
Ian Finance
Like, Bernie is gonna stop you there.
Kalila
Yeah, I'll fight you on that.
Esther
I love Bernie and I. I vote for him in every election. But thinking any politician is your, like, friend or they truly care is insane. And I said that, and. But this girl took my clip. And then I. I went after this Trump guy, and he was like, we're the party of inclusion. I was like, oh, yeah? Is it what? Like, you. You're the inclusion party. You guys don't care. You. You care about women's bodies. You care about gay people. You care about everything, but including people. You bigot piece of.
Jenna
They really have told themselves that.
Esther
And this. This woman clipped it, took out all the jokes and was like, woke. Comedians exposed and all these. For like 48 hours. I was just getting called, like, I don't know, and Jew and like, wow, he has sex with men. Like, it was like, insane.
Kalila
And the inclusion of it all, both sides are hating.
Esther
It was crazy.
Ian Finance
One thing we can all agree on.
Esther
Yeah. Yeah. It's like, if anything, I can bring the country together by having you all hate me for existing. But it's like, dude, it's. It's not real, but it's crazy because.
Kalila
It'S like, they don't hate you. They hate themselves.
Esther
Totally.
Kalila
Something about what you're saying triggers their own self hatred and it throws them.
Esther
I've gotten so much hate for men that probably have felt the way I feel, and it brings something out in them, so they have to hate it. Like, dude, honestly, Jim Norton is one of my favorite comics, and he has helped me so much just in his living, truthfully, for being, you know, in love with trans women. But when I was younger, I had to stop listening to him because it would remind me of what I liked, and I wasn't okay with it.
Kalila
Jim Norton is married to Nikki, who has been his. His wife for several years. Yeah, for a while. And he's one of the first people that I think has been openly married to a trans woman. And they have, like, the sweetest, cutest, sexiest little love affair. And. And it's Just like, I love him. I love them.
Jenna
I also.
Esther
But it's. It's like wild because I'll get so much in real life feedback of like, you've helped me figure out that this is okay. This is not. And then these people are like hating me and I'm like, well, that's not. Not real. Like, they're like, you, you. No one. You've never been funny and you suck. And then I'm like, I sold out like a club weekend. I'm like, okay, this is real.
Ian Finance
Yeah.
Esther
When I put the jacket. That's real.
Kalila
You gotta literally walk out, touch grass, look around you and no one choose your reality.
Esther
And I interrupted you. What were you saying?
Jenna
I don't know anything. I wasn't gonna know.
Esther
You're like, ex boyfriend.
Jenna
Oh, I had forgotten about that.
Kalila
Well, this one is. This one's a doozy for you.
Esther
Let's see. I'm a Delaware doozy. Let's hear it.
Kalila
Ok, break it down. She has no. She has an ex.
Esther
Yes.
Kalila
First.
Jenna
A long time ago. X. Okay, let's. Let's preface it with that.
Kalila
Long, long time ago time ago. 15 years.
Esther
Okay.
Jenna
And we don't want to get too much attention.
Kalila
He faked his own death.
Jenna
Hold on. That wasn't his rules. That wasn't his first event. Because that was after we were dating. His first offense was like, while we were dating.
Kalila
What was the first offense?
Jenna
What's on let's.
Kalila
Okay, let's say first public offense. Yeah, he faked his own death. It made it to the news.
Jenna
First off, I get met. I wake up to a barrage of all of these messages of people being like, I know it's been a while, but I'm so sorry. And I'm like, oh, my goodness. And I look and I'm thinking like, oh, man. Is it because I never responded to his emails? Because he'd been emailing me for years and I was just like, really?
Esther
And this is after you were broken up.
Jenna
You can read them.
Kalila
I think the first person to tell you that I was like, I don't think. I was like, I don't think he's dead. I honestly think he's faking it.
Jenna
She said that? I'm sweating right now.
Ian Finance
Wait, what are you guys.
Jenna
How did you.
Kalila
You have terrorists.
Jenna
I'm literally.
Esther
Do you want me to take mine off? Make you feel comfortable? Like when a kid has cancer, everyone.
Jenna
I think that would make me feel uncomfortable. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Esther
I completely understand. I get it.
Jenna
You have to remember that I'm sweating.
Kalila
I had stuck, talked this guy, this ex of hers, because I. I was just fascinated by this guy. She had told me about this person. I was like, oh my God, I love how unhinged he is. So when he allegedly died, I was like, I promise you he's alive. I promise you. And sure enough, a couple hours later, Jenna's like, he's alive.
Ian Finance
He's like, tell me how that's real. How did he. Why did he fake his own death? How did you know it was.
Jenna
Take my shirt off?
Kalila
Because I had studied this person. He was like, what do you call it?
Esther
Like, waft some of that over this way.
Kalila
A case study.
Jenna
It's not going to smell. Cuz I have my deodorant on.
Esther
Oh, yeah.
Kalila
She should give you her deodorant.
Esther
Really?
Kalila
Yeah, it's natural.
Esther
I wear women's deodorant.
Jenna
Oh my gosh.
Esther
What is it called?
Jenna
We'll get to this later.
Esther
The degree.
Kalila
No, not degree.
Jenna
I make it. Okay, let's. Let's continue.
Ian Finance
Tell me this.
Esther
You're in an open relationship. You make your own deodorant. This is. You are a hippie sweating. How do you open this?
Kalila
You just twist it. It smells so great.
Esther
How do you make this? You're like a little Tyler Durden.
Jenna
Try it.
Esther
Just put it on.
Kalila
Yeah, you just.
Jenna
With your finger and then you just rub it. I mean, if you smell like, where do you rub it? On your dick? Like in your armpit?
Ian Finance
Can I give you a breast exam?
Jenna
Please. But if I do this to Esther, she goes, ew.
Esther
See, this is what friendship is is. I tried to do this to Bobby's last night.
Jenna
I'm surprised that.
Esther
Let me check your balls, brother.
Jenna
Very surprised that he declined that.
Ian Finance
I actually can't do my own breast exam. So I do need you to give me one.
Esther
I'm sweating too. I just gross myself out because I'm sweating.
Kalila
Okay, okay, let's proceed. Guy didn't die.
Ian Finance
But no, you're not telling me enough about how you knew a guy wasn't dead.
Kalila
Well, I had been. He is a case study for me. I honestly found him fascinating in that I was like, oh, this person is his. His whole Internet existence.
Jenna
She was obsessed with him. But I had basically put a boundary of like, I can't keep hearing about him because I don't. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
Ian Finance
Why did he fake his own death?
Esther
How did he fake his own death?
Kalila
He allegedly on the live himself.
Esther
I hate the fact that we have to change how we Speak. Because of the algorithm.
Jenna
I know.
Kalila
It's crazy.
Ian Finance
What did he do a post?
Jenna
Like, sweat. I never sweat this.
Kalila
Yeah, I think he had someone post on his behalf. Sorry, Jenna, Are you okay? We don't have to proceed.
Jenna
No.
Ian Finance
You are sweaty.
Jenna
Yeah, I never sweat this much. It's just because it's like, oh, God, what if he reaches out to me again and I don't want to be a hater. I don't want to be mean.
Kalila
You're not hating. But you know what?
Jenna
Okay, so let's.
Esther
Let's just change the subject back to me. You were saying I'm a great comic.
Jenna
You can. You can do it. You can.
Kalila
I really need your input on this, though.
Esther
Yeah, okay.
Kalila
Okay, that's. That's besides the point. The.
Esther
Yeah, I mean, I'd love to give my input if you ever get to the story.
Kalila
I will. I'm trying, I'm trying. But then there's dealer.
Jenna
So expensive.
Ian Finance
Ask over and over again. Do not blame myself.
Kalila
Okay. You're right. Sir is trying to keep us on track. Okay, in under 30 seconds. Here we go.
Esther
I doubt it.
Kalila
The guy has sent you.
Jenna
Please set a timer for 30 seconds.
Esther
Yeah, I got to use my Casio.
Kalila
Ready? Timing me.
Jenna
Go.
Kalila
Okay. The guy has since called himself some right wing bro. And to prove his point against the trans community, which he allegedly hates, he dresses up as a woman and he posts trans content only.
Esther
Is it the guy that has the fat belly?
Jenna
No.
Kalila
Yes.
Ian Finance
Yes, it is.
Kalila
No, he has a fat belly now.
Ian Finance
I've never seen you smile.
Jenna
He's, like, padded.
Ian Finance
I have not seen Koila.
Esther
He's, like, a loser.
Kalila
He has a fat belly now.
Jenna
Yeah, I, like, don't want to hate on anyone because I just feel bad for him.
Ian Finance
You don't understand. I haven't seen her smile like this since 2023.
Esther
Oh, dude, we're 31 seconds. He faked his own death. Oh, that's so funny. What a loser.
Kalila
But you've seen him, then?
Esther
Yeah. Yeah, him.
Jenna
Him mocking the trans community. I don't know if it's real or.
Esther
I thought it was, like. Oh, him, like, abusing you and faking his own death doesn't make him a loser, too.
Jenna
He's a loser that I'm sad.
Esther
I'll put it out there. My dates are online. IanFinance.com, pull up to a show, and if you got a problem with this.
Jenna
Say it to my face.
Kalila
Well, the question I had for you was what? I. Yeah, basically.
Esther
You know, I'll get them back for You. You all say the patriarchy. I'll make them limp out of my apartment. Let's go. I mean, what did you see in that piece of.
Jenna
Okay, so I.
Esther
We could move on.
Kalila
Yeah. It's a long time ago. Well, look at. Look.
Esther
What is this? Is this a segment?
Jenna
I had seen him as, like, a buddy, and I made that very clear. I communicated however he wanted to date. And I always said, like, oh, I could really see us as, like, buddies. And he was like, oh, I could see you as my girlfriend. And then the. The relationship, it became like he was a bit jealous and controlling. And I was like, I will cut you with my knitting needle. I remember the day I literally held up my knitting needle.
Esther
I do punch needle stitching.
Jenna
Oh, my God, that's incredible. I don't know how to do that.
Esther
That seems so hard, but I'm figuring it out.
Ian Finance
Well, you held up your knitting needle.
Jenna
Yeah, because he. The words that he used to speak to me. I was like, you will never raise your voice at me. And I. I was on crutches because I had just torn my hamstring off.
Esther
I thought you were gonna say crack.
Ian Finance
For some reason, that would have been made more sense.
Jenna
And I was like, you will never speak to me that way. I lifted up my knitting needle, and then I, like, hobbled out of his apartment, and then that was it. But he kept trying to date me and communicate with me anyway. He was mentally unwell, so that's why I was like, we're done. And I never intended to date him.
Esther
But how he faked his own death, how is that not like. Like, the lead on everything?
Jenna
I mean, that was like 15 years after we dated that it happened, but, yeah.
Esther
Did he end up recently?
Jenna
This is like, what, two? Three? Two? How many years ago?
Esther
I gotta say, the hubris to try to fake your own death in, like, a social media world is like, I gotta hand it to him. That's pretty wild to think he could get away.
Ian Finance
How far can you take it? Like, if I were to do it, I would want to go so far as the. I'm laying there and then just go.
Esther
Well, dude, there's a. There's a guy.
Kalila
Wait, do you want to listen to everyone's eulogy of you, you sick?
Ian Finance
She just.
Jenna
With one eye open, she's like, oh, wait, you forgot to say that I'm nice.
Ian Finance
And then I'm pretty.
Jenna
Hold on.
Ian Finance
Hello.
Jenna
Where the. Is my banana? How.
Kalila
How would you die, Esther?
Jenna
Thanks.
Ian Finance
Where's your how would I. I poo poos? That's how you want to kill me?
Esther
The dude. There was a. There was a guy who a friend still thinks faked his own death. Death because he was such a scumb when he lived. Yeah, sure. Thank you. He. I'm. I'm sober. I'm in a program in recovery, and I go to places to help me out. And you can too. It's no big deal.
Jenna
For free.
Esther
Oh, yeah. Oh, I have the same colored toenails as you.
Jenna
Oh, it's ugly color.
Ian Finance
All right, easy, Jenna.
Jenna
On my feet. Yeah, it looks like, sickly.
Esther
Here, I'll show you. My friend's daughters painted my nails around Christmas time and they're still green.
Ian Finance
Wait, Jenna, you're like low key rated R everywhere we go.
Esther
What do you mean?
Jenna
What did I do?
Kalila
Your tits are always out your boobs.
Jenna
I have a bra. I have a bra top on your feet.
Ian Finance
You talking with a banana in your mouth.
Kalila
Also, also, you're you facetime with my mom and you always show her your what?
Ian Finance
And this is not a big deal.
Kalila
And my mom just like, show me Marjanelle.
Jenna
Oh, yeah. Every time I see her mom, she's like, oh, darling, your tits look bigger.
Ian Finance
I love the Fits Everybody collection from skims so much. I exclusively wear that. I love the Fits Everybody cheeky brief. I love the Fits Everybody thongs. As I've talked about like a million times, I have them. I feel like in every color. Whenever they come out with new colors, I need them because they make me feel cute. Like I really have just become like, that's just very important to me. They're the only underwear that I'll wear. And that's a final statement. I also love the Fits Everybody bralettes. I love the T shirt bra. I just love that material. I love the feel of it. It makes me. It kind of reminds me of my dancing days or something. It feels kind of nylony, but yet there's so much more to it. I love it.
Kalila
Shop Skims Best intimates, including the Fits Everybody collection and more@skims.com and skim stores. And after you place your order, be sure to let them know we sent you select podcast in the survey and be sure to select our show in the drop down menu that follows. My mom and her have the weirdest, like, Jenna will be like full bush. She's like, look, mom.
Jenna
Your mom, literally, when you guys had been evacuated and had lost everything, I walk in the house in the desert, she runs up to me. It's like, this is a very sad time. And she's like, oh, darling, your tits are bigger. I want to you. She literally said that. You can ask her.
Kalila
Yeah, it's a lesbian. I don't know.
Esther
She's joking.
Kalila
Yeah, my mom and we are like, weird. They're like, really unwell.
Esther
Why do you show her your.
Kalila
It's just like, my mom wants to see it.
Esther
I don't understand. Let's play it out.
Kalila
Okay.
Esther
Hello, I'm Kyla's mom, Kyla. I'm just so excited.
Ian Finance
That's okay. When we came in, Billy, our. The producer here, he goes, Kalila says, I mean, I could see how he thought that you were walking into this podcast next to me. You have the same skin color with sunglasses on.
Kalila
I'll explain. It's a cultural same hair color. I just don't think Filipino moms and aunties have this thing that has traumatized generations upon generations, Filipino children, where they'll look at. They'll. When their kids grow up, they still think it's funny to like, oh, like, grab our genitals and think it's like a joke.
Jenna
But what do you mean still think it's funny? Like, it was funnier when you guys were younger.
Kalila
They're like watching baby and then they'll like, squeeze your. And then they'll make fun of you. Gilbert knows all every Filipino kid knows.
Jenna
I think it's funny.
Kalila
It's like a cultural thing. And then it has extended to Jenna and now she plays this game with my mom of like, show her her bush.
Jenna
I just think it's like, like, ever since I was little, I've always mooned and flashed people and been like, it's funny. It's not like a sexual thing.
Esther
Out is like a joke.
Jenna
That's what I was going to say. It's like how boys take their dicks out.
Esther
I would run out, Nate. They turn the lights off and go, I think the place is haunted.
Ian Finance
I'd run out and go, he seems rated R. You don't. And that's why it's like a trick. You seem pg.
Esther
Hey, what the do you mean.
Kalila
What is that.
Ian Finance
Comedian.
Jenna
You're not even real.
Esther
Is that a real laugh?
Jenna
No, I'm imitating her. Exactly, Exactly. It doesn't sound real.
Esther
I'll show you my toenail.
Jenna
I didn't ask to see them, but I'm just kidding.
Esther
I'm just kidding.
Jenna
Show me. Okay, that's a. Wait. Are they the same?
Kalila
It is.
Jenna
Oh. See how mine is more green and looks like it's.
Ian Finance
You guys just touch toes. That's.
Kalila
That's sexually you guys had sex on camera.
Esther
Weird.
Jenna
Here's the thing, guys. It's like. It's like, who gives a fuck? That's how I see it. It's like, yeah, you saw tits. It's not that big of a deal.
Kalila
Give me your shirt, bruh. Can I have it?
Jenna
You know why?
Kalila
It's like the Pasadena Rose Parade.
Jenna
I know.
Kalila
I'm from Pasadena. Altadena.
Ian Finance
I think it's so unfair because I asked for it on the way in, but now I absolutely have to.
Jenna
It's my mom's, though. It's like, it can't go anywhere.
Ian Finance
It's such a good shirt.
Kalila
I'm calling. I'm going to.
Jenna
If you want it, you'll just show your pussy. Oh, my God.
Kalila
I'll show your mom my pussy.
Esther
I would never show my parents, my friend's parents, my. But I did buy my first gun and I gave it to my friend's dad.
Ian Finance
You did?
Jenna
I think it just depends. Like, I. I don't know if I would do that to anyone else's mom but Kalila's mom, because she's like. She asks for it.
Ian Finance
Better not do that to my mom.
Kalila
Different vibes.
Jenna
Marmar are probably like, oh, yeah. Different vibes, different tribes. I don't know. But it's just, like, not a big deal. Except that when I was younger and I used to moon, one time my mom came to school to pick me up, and I went to Chicago Public School. So there's, like, police officers in the school.
Esther
And I used to teach at schools like that.
Jenna
Metal detectors.
Kalila
Can you believe that?
Esther
They used to have. The kids used to have to come. The teachers used to have to come to the kids because they couldn't go. They couldn't be in the hallway because there'd be, like, fights all the time.
Jenna
Yeah, of course.
Esther
So all the teachers had to go to the kids.
Jenna
Cps.
Esther
Yeah.
Jenna
And my mom was like, oh, I'm just looking for my daughter, Jenna. Do you know where she is? And the security. My mom is a Jew. That's why she sounds like that. And the security guard was like, oh, yeah. Does she play soccer? Her? And she was like, yeah. And he's like, oh, yeah. I think I see her running through.
Esther
Here all the time, spreading cheeks.
Jenna
And he goes, she always run past here and flash and moon and stuff. And my mom was like, yeah, that sounds like her.
Kalila
Oh, wow.
Esther
You must have been very popular.
Ian Finance
You should have been arrested.
Esther
I used to do the mangina. I still do, but actually, I didn't.
Jenna
Like, oh, like you would tuck it back.
Kalila
I gotta say. I don't. I gotta say, I've never dated a guy that hasn't done that. That. I feel like all men really enjoy the mangina.
Esther
Yeah.
Jenna
I've never seen any guy I've dated do that.
Kalila
You're not looking hard enough and you're.
Esther
Not dating all the wrong ones.
Jenna
I wish that they would do that. That's so funny to me.
Esther
They've never put on your bra and gone, I'm just like you.
Jenna
So far. No, really, it's so fun, you know, I would love that.
Kalila
Yeah, I know.
Esther
You know, when I moved to la.
Jenna
Do you really think I'm rated?
Esther
I'll mangina you.
Ian Finance
Yeah, I think you don't understand that. You put a banana in your mouth.
Esther
And you go, is that what she did?
Jenna
It's. What?
Kalila
It's unintentional.
Jenna
Oh, I thought you said it's unprofessional. And I was like, what makes me really sad is that you said, I'm afraid of being unprofessional. Yeah, it's unintentional because I'm just like, it's not a big deal. Tits. Whatever.
Kalila
Wait, hang on one second. You're saying that the way I eat a banana is very not sexual. Because if she's eating banana sexually.
Jenna
I'm telling you, there is a double standard here with me and Kalila, okay? Because Kalila gets to be vulgar. She could talk about. She could literally talk about a butthole going inside her pussy. I don't even know how that would happen. And you would be like, uh huh. Tell me more. And I'm like. I'm like, oh, my God, it's really hot.
Esther
She's eating and you're like. You're sucking a cock.
Ian Finance
Yeah.
Jenna
No, I'm denying you. No, I'm telling you.
Esther
Wait, no, don't put your dark twisted fantasy.
Jenna
She always goes, ew, stop. Ew. Why are you doing that? Don't talk about that.
Ian Finance
When she had the banana.
Esther
I didn't.
Jenna
Stella.
Ian Finance
Thank you, Stella. I thought it was.
Kalila
Here I am just throating a full fucking hog. Just no one says anything.
Jenna
I never. Why didn't it look like poop?
Esther
What?
Jenna
It could have looked like poop. It could have looked like a carrot.
Ian Finance
Vote in the comments.
Kalila
I think it's just honestly, because you're really hot.
Esther
You know what? What? Let's do it again.
Jenna
Because you know what? I don't act sexually.
Ian Finance
Everybody look at my face. I'm making a K for that.
Jenna
I think.
Kalila
Okay, I'll Rewind the taste competition. Let's do the slow motion of everyone ate the banana.
Jenna
If it was a sexual situation and be like, guys. So anyway, I want to talk to you about something would be sexual. I'm just going. Hey, guys.
Ian Finance
You did no. Okay. Put a big piece in your mouth.
Esther
Yeah. Show us what you did again.
Jenna
Oh, hey, guys.
Esther
Yeah. Shove the present. Let's joke her on the podcast. No more banana. See? You're so sexual.
Ian Finance
First of all, I am willing to admit there is a double standard, and we will get to the bottom of it. But I still stand by everything I say is coming from a true place. You are rated R. You.
Esther
Why is she rated R? And why is she not just existing? Like, why is that rated R? Maybe you're wrong.
Ian Finance
She was naked 15 minutes ago.
Jenna
I was not naked.
Esther
Brown.
Jenna
Like a bathing suit.
Kalila
I think you see her as, like, a parental figure, and you don't want your own mom to behave this way.
Jenna
Yeah, no, but I. I've known Esther since we were 18. We've been best friends since college, and she has always viewed me as like, mama. Like, before she moved here, the only person she asked if she could drop out of college was me.
Kalila
Right.
Esther
Wow.
Kalila
I think that's why. And I'm not a parental figure. I'm more of, like, a work crush.
Ian Finance
Yeah.
Kalila
Yeah.
Ian Finance
That's.
Esther
So you're more like an au pair.
Jenna
I would say I'm the au pair.
Ian Finance
Also, like, the only a person that hugs me. Like, you're like.
Kalila
You want to keep her clean.
Ian Finance
Yeah, is what it is. I have, like, the Madonna whore comp.
Kalila
You do. You know, you are the patriarchy.
Ian Finance
Oh, no.
Jenna
Yeah, I was. You know what? I wasn't gonna say that because I didn't want to say that.
Ian Finance
What do you mean?
Jenna
Kind of.
Kalila
No, wait, Esther. Mom's too.
Ian Finance
Okay, no, stop it.
Kalila
Moms can have sex. They can be sexual beings.
Jenna
Sexual, the way she said it.
Esther
But they. They should also cool it down.
Kalila
I hate when you say this.
Jenna
Mom should cool it the fuck down.
Esther
Mom should be in overalls, driving a Volvo.
Ian Finance
Yes.
Jenna
Okay, what about dad?
Esther
Putting themselves out there.
Jenna
What about dad?
Esther
Dad should be wearing shirts, tucked in, cutting the lawn.
Jenna
Dad should be put away. In the closets.
Esther
What?
Kalila
In the closets.
Jenna
If moms have to be, like, calmed down, then dads have to be fucking shut away.
Esther
No, no. When you have a child, your life is over, and you're no longer allowed to fucking shake ass around town.
Ian Finance
I agree.
Jenna
No, you know what? That's wrong, because that is saying that the only reason you're shaking ass is to, like, get a partner, have sex, and have a baby. And that is not true.
Esther
It's. It's.
Jenna
We are here just living our lives.
Esther
It's ancestral.
Jenna
Do you see how she just got so close? That was crazy.
Esther
She went, put your grandma mother's blanket on.
Ian Finance
She just.
Kalila
Put your cloth.
Jenna
If we could slow motion to the way that she reached over. It was like this rage, but also this. Like, that is mine. I want to touch that. Let's keep you. She was like, cut your shirt. That was crazy.
Esther
This is the greatest day of my life. I don't have WI fi at the hotel. This is like, less being porn in person.
Jenna
Do you want to nurse?
Ian Finance
Yes.
Jenna
Come on.
Esther
If you start doing mommy play, I'm going to come. Wait, so you got to change the subject.
Kalila
Do you think that you or any of you would be. Where would you fall in the hierarchy of a mafia? Would you be the dawn? Or would you be a lowly peasant somewhere in the bottom doing the dirty work?
Jenna
I'm a lowly peasant.
Esther
Are you.
Kalila
You're the worker.
Jenna
Because I, like, get distracted and things up. But actually, I don't know. I feel like, what else?
Esther
I would be the one that would always be like, hey, guys, instead of me killing this guy, you want to do it together? Just come along on the ride.
Kalila
You're the Joe Pesci.
Esther
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Dude.
Jenna
When my friends used to have me come to fights in high school, like, with them, like, oh, we're fighting at boo time. And they would have me come with because they always thought I was gonna fight. And I was like, I'm. I know I look like I'm gonna fight, but I'm not. And I would go, this. I have this vivid memory where two of my friends were fighting, like, beating the shit out of each other at this parking lot.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
One of the girls ended up getting an ice skate from her trunk. Because I just was like, I hate fighting. But I also understood that that's just how shit goes down. I grabbed flaming hots, which became this thing that I would do it at fights, and in. In the middle of the fight, I would go, who wants flaming hots? Who wants it? They're like, I'm. I'm dead. Like, socking. Yeah, socking people in the face. And I would go, like, who wants flaming hots?
Ian Finance
Who?
Jenna
Oh, you guys want some flame? Because I was like, anything to distract.
Kalila
You're the peanut guy that would make them stop fighting. Oh, my God. You're a pacifist.
Jenna
And these two people, I. I hope they remember this fight, but I'm not going to say.
Ian Finance
And that is why you would be at the bottom.
Jenna
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Esther
There'd be someone, like, wrapping barb wire around someone's neck like, you rat. You're like, who wants cheetos?
Kalila
She would be the Dawn.
Ian Finance
What is the Don?
Kalila
You would be Don Carleone all the way up here.
Ian Finance
So would you, though?
Kalila
Oh, not as high up as you, though.
Esther
I would like to be the consigliere.
Kalila
Conciliari.
Jenna
I don't know a lot of words. I don't know.
Esther
That's the one that's like the Don's right hand man. And he's like, calms the Dom down. And then the dawn is, like, in charge.
Kalila
I am number one at being number two. So you would. I would be great at being your right hand.
Ian Finance
And then we just send Jenna out to do everything.
Esther
Yeah, yeah.
Kalila
The bar wiring.
Esther
You would. Yeah, you would be like the. The. The. Like the air task rabbit. And then like, if someone wanted to have a meeting with the dawn, you would pitch it to the. To Kila, and then she would be like, jenna wants to have a sit down tomorrow. What do you think? Blah, blah.
Jenna
I mean, I think you guys can speak to this. I would probably be the TaskRabbit and someone who calms someone down.
Kalila
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Esther
You'd go to the Don and be like, why don't you just grab my tip? You want to grab my. I could take my shirt off.
Ian Finance
Come on.
Esther
Want me to eat a banana Runny.
Jenna
You guys are rated R, you guys.
Ian Finance
Oh, my God. I'm gonna get made fun of the rest of my life.
Esther
Take it easy, you little Disney movie.
Jenna
Wait, this actually just made a little bit of sense. Because when I'm trying to be hot and sexual, it never comes across because it's like the things that I'm doing that people view as hot or sexual, I think are, like, funny in games. And when I'm trying to be hot, it's. It doesn't.
Esther
Why? What's the thing you do when you try to be hot?
Jenna
I don't know. I'd be like, yeah, something like that.
Ian Finance
Do it again.
Jenna
Yeah.
Ian Finance
Or like.
Esther
You want to eat my ass. Ay.
Kalila
Do you ever go through seasons in your life where you. You just feel so not hot or.
Jenna
Sexual where you're like, oh, are you asking us? Because obviously, yeah, I'm in it.
Kalila
Oh, where you're just like. You can't even imagine yourself like, you're almost embarrassed at the thought of yourself having sex.
Esther
Yeah. Every time I look in a mirror.
Kalila
Really?
Esther
Kidding me? Yes. It's. I'm constantly grabbing my belly and being like, you stupid pig.
Jenna
You don't even have a belly.
Esther
Yeah, I do.
Jenna
Are you tucking it along with your dick?
Esther
I don't have a belly. I don't have a dick. You can find flaws within yourself if you're looking for them. You know, it's. It's a matter of trying not to. What?
Ian Finance
I definitely have season, like.
Kalila
Oh, my God, is that you?
Esther
That's me at senior prom.
Kalila
Look at what you're wearing.
Esther
She and I are still friends to this day. That's my best friend, Corey.
Jenna
I love that.
Esther
And her brother's my manager. They're like family friends of mine. Jesus Christ.
Jenna
I did it. Out of the mic and away from me.
Kalila
Yeah.
Ian Finance
Into my mouth.
Jenna
Oh, you liked it.
Esther
You're sucking her tits and a burp is too far.
Kalila
Oh, that is so cute. Ian, I see you very. I don't know, it's like there's like a. Look at that. Look at that head of hair.
Esther
I know, right?
Kalila
Beautiful locks.
Esther
I know. Thanks for bringing up the thing I don't have.
Kalila
Would you ever go to Turkey and get your last.
Esther
I am letting God take over. Make me gray, make me bald. I do not care. There. I see my family in my face and I will never change with science or anything. I'm just gonna let it happen. I think that's so sweet.
Jenna
I have the chills again up that.
Esther
People do that, especially guys. It's like, so just let yourself go.
Kalila
Yeah, that's how I feel, actually. I. Well, here's my. Here's my take on this. There is if I meet you, but.
Esther
I feel like if you all band together and not do it.
Jenna
Yeah.
Esther
The next generation will change. Change. When there's like a 22 year old, it's like, oh, my wrinkle. It's like, yo, you're. You're done. Yeah, you're cooked.
Jenna
There's like a lot of 22 year olds getting like, what is it, bro? Anticipatory.
Esther
It's crazy.
Kalila
Prevent creative Botox.
Esther
And it's like, there's no wonder people. We're living in a time where people turn their backs on their family so easily now over like the smallest disagreements. Because you're changing your face. You aren't seeing your family in your face.
Jenna
I hate saying this.
Esther
Wow.
Jenna
Seeing your family in your face. Oh, my God.
Kalila
What if you hate your family?
Ian Finance
What if you Hate your face and your family.
Esther
It's on you.
Jenna
I never really cared about what I look like, and now I really do. And it sucks to say that, but it's just true. I've been freaking out recently about wrinkles on my forehead, but I won't get Botox because I'm afraid.
Esther
Honestly, I didn't know your name was Jenna. I thought they just called you old wrinkles.
Jenna
They do. How did you know that? So much so that this is. Wait.
Esther
You're beautiful.
Jenna
Three. Thanks.
Ian Finance
Don't say that about my mom.
Jenna
Three nights ago, I had a dream where the whole dream, people were sewing into my forehead. It was like, no. And, like, making it tight. Like, that's. That's how much I'm, like, subconsciously thinking about it.
Ian Finance
It's working because you look.
Jenna
Your forehead is.
Ian Finance
It looks d. What I think is.
Kalila
Even more insane is that if you were to look at pictures of yourself at 10, 8 years old, 12 years old, we all have wrinkles there.
Esther
Yeah, dude, It's.
Kalila
That's not. Those aren't wrinkles. That's like.
Jenna
They're lines of normal. Being able to move your house, move your face, and. Yeah.
Ian Finance
What? You have nothing.
Kalila
Can I give you some perspective, too?
Jenna
Since I have Bell's palsy, I use frownies. I'm 37.
Kalila
I have Bell's palsy. So half of my face is frozen. It won't be there forever.
Esther
Yeah.
Kalila
But since I haven't been able to lift this eyebrow and I have no wrinkles here, it sends me into a panic, like, I've lost movement of my face. So, no, you don't want to be frozen. I miss my wrinkles. I miss my.
Jenna
And I don't want to get aging.
Ian Finance
Benefits from the bowel's palsy.
Kalila
I don't know if this side of my face will somehow look younger, I think, because it's been frozen for, like, months now.
Ian Finance
Because I have a theory that my mom looks good for age because she doesn't make facial expressions.
Jenna
It's true.
Kalila
That's like Kim Kardashian says her mom does.
Jenna
Not hot. Oh, yeah. This her mom excited. Oh, yeah. And this is her mom, like, really, really upset.
Ian Finance
Oh, she doesn't move her face.
Esther
Jarring.
Ian Finance
Yeah, it's just. She's just finished. I don't know. They. They just don't engage.
Esther
Yeah.
Ian Finance
I think that's why I probably have problems.
Jenna
Your mom is my best friend. Also. I will say that what I've learned from Esther's parents. Parents is that they're not the Problem? Because I used to think that they were the pro. Wait, wait.
Ian Finance
You promised me they were the problem.
Jenna
I thought that they were the problem. Like, the first time I went back home with you and visited and was in the van with your parents, I was like, oh, okay. Now I get why Esther's so up. But the more. Because it's like you can't really put your finger on the weird that Esther is. You know? It's like something's not right somewhere.
Esther
You can't put your finger on it, but maybe if you're one of those foam hands, put it all over.
Jenna
But when your mom was here the last time, and the more I bond with your mom, I'm like, this is my bitch. Like, she's kind of normal. And then your mom was saying something like, oh, yeah? What did she say? She said, oh, yeah. We would just talk about things normal, like sex and whatever. And Esther's like, ew. And I'm like, oh. Oh, you're the weird. It's not your parents. It's you.
Ian Finance
No, it's that they are so open about sex, and it makes. It freaks me out. It's, like, disgusting.
Jenna
Esther's never taken her clothes off, by the way.
Kalila
You think there needs to be boundaries.
Esther
Totally.
Ian Finance
Yeah.
Kalila
Did you have a naked mom or naked parent in the household?
Esther
No. That's why I had a. My dad died when I was 8, and I was raised by my mom, and so I never got any sex talk. And it was like, here's a book. Read it.
Kalila
You know, I do think that there is a difference between kids who grow up with naked parents and dressed parents. Naked parents are what I have. You grew up with my mom, which is, like, she always was. She would get.
Esther
Yeah, because Mom's grabbing her vagina.
Kalila
I know.
Esther
Like, so that's.
Jenna
I know.
Esther
We shouldn't have naked parents.
Jenna
No.
Kalila
This is why I am the way I am. Because I had aunties and moms who would get dressed dressed in front of me and who would just. They were so free with their nudity.
Esther
Oh. I had an aunt that showed me her boobs because she had breast cancer.
Jenna
Very different.
Ian Finance
What was the reason?
Esther
I think I got my last head.
Kalila
This is gonna sound really sick, but, like, because of the cancer. Does she get a pass?
Esther
Oh, no, her. Oh, yeah. We didn't talk. She turned her back on us.
Jenna
But also, that's, like, why we're normal with bodies.
Esther
Like, if I hated you alive, you when you're gone. Aunt Carol, you dumb.
Kalila
That's a really good point. That's a really, really Carol.
Esther
Oh, yeah. We think she killed my grandma.
Kalila
Oh, I love family homicide. I have family homicide in my bloodline.
Esther
Really?
Ian Finance
Yeah.
Kalila
My. My uncle killed my other uncle in broad daylight with a machete.
Jenna
Oh, man. We go in.
Kalila
Was it poison? Arsenic?
Jenna
It was leave.
Esther
It was her. She got my grandmother's medication signed over to her, and then like two weeks later, she died. And me and my mom got written out of the will. Oh, like your son's not getting any of that money. He's not gonna pour it down his throat because he's a piece of alcohol. It was up.
Kalila
You guys listen to his trauma story.
Esther
I don't give a. You don't got to listen.
Ian Finance
I want to listen.
Kalila
This is crazy. So it was a med error?
Esther
Yeah.
Kalila
Oh, that's. That's dark.
Esther
I don't ever her.
Kalila
You know what? Yeah, that's right. That ain't right.
Esther
Yeah. No, the good thing is, though, like, you know, in time, you learn to kind of like, process and whatever. And, you know, like, the silver lining is that when. When she died, she really suffered. So I think that's like, kind of.
Jenna
So you did process it, you did.
Esther
Healing, you know, ignore it. Yeah.
Kalila
I have a problem with, see, seeing really shitty people in suffering. And I think that there's something in my brain suffering. No, no, it's not even that I'm an empath. Like, I lit. There's something about seeing anything suffer where there's like a cockroach. I hate cockroaches. But if I see.
Jenna
So you're saying in general, you don't like seeing people suffer. Yeah, it sounded like you don't like seeing shitty people suffer, but you're anyway with normal people.
Kalila
Like, when I think about. Okay, can I tell you the sickest thought I have in my head?
Esther
Let's go.
Kalila
You know how much I'm like, very anti. Like Donald Trump, right?
Jenna
Ye duh. I would hope.
Kalila
But when I'm alone at night and I think about him as a little baby, and then I think about him as an old man wearing a little sleepy hat, going to bed, there's something in me that's like, oh, shit. He was just once a little baby, and now he's just an old man with a sleepy hat.
Esther
That's fair.
Kalila
And I don't know what.
Esther
Don't feel that way about people.
Kalila
Like, I don't know what disease that is in my brain, but I have a difficult time with babies and old people.
Jenna
You're just saying. I. I mean, a normal human, you shouldn't want any human to be hurting just because you.
Esther
Yeah. It's almost like in the quiet moments of your day, you process the fact that we're humans trying to make it. And some people are bad, some people are good, but they all deserve some form of empathy.
Ian Finance
That's what you're thinking about. And I'm thinking about the people mad at us for having guests that we. That they don't like.
Jenna
Yeah.
Ian Finance
Yeah.
Kalila
Okay.
Ian Finance
That's how our processes are different.
Kalila
Guys, on that note, I'm sweating. This has been a lot cut.
Ian Finance
Yeah, See the Patreon for the cut stuff.

Podcast Summary: Trash Tuesday Episode Featuring Ian Fidance & Jenna Jiménez
Episode Information
In this energetic and unfiltered episode of Trash Tuesday, hosts Khalyla Kuhn and Esther Povitsky welcome comedians Ian Fidance and Jenna Jiménez for a candid conversation filled with humor, personal anecdotes, and thought-provoking discussions. The episode, aptly titled "Ian Fidance & Jenna Jiménez are Rated: R," delves into themes of healing from heartbreak, navigating complex relationships, dealing with online backlash, and the pressures of self-image.
The episode kicks off with Kalila posing a poignant question about the best way to heal after a painful breakup: Should one distract themselves by immersing in work, or should they sit with the pain and process their emotions?
Kalila: "With a breakup like that, you threw yourself into the work getting busy. What is better for healing? To distract yourself or to just sit in the pain and the filth of the broken pieces of your heart?" [00:00]
Esther: "Deal with it later. You have to wait because I..." [00:15]
This exchange sparks a lively debate among the hosts and guests about different coping mechanisms, with Jenna labeling it a "trick question" and teasing the hosts about their emotional approaches.
A humorous segment unfolds as Ian Fidance shares a bizarre anecdote about an ex-boyfriend who allegedly faked his own death. The discussion becomes a mix of skepticism and laughter as they dissect the plausibility of such an event in the digital age.
Kalila: "He faked his own death. It made it to the news." [25:13]
Esther: "I hate the fact that we have to change how we Speak. Because of the algorithm." [28:47]
The group explores the challenges of faking one's death today, given the pervasive nature of social media and digital footprints, culminating in playful banter and disbelief.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Esther's experiences with relationships, particularly her openness about dating trans women and the subsequent online backlash she faced. This section highlights the tension between authentic self-expression and societal expectations.
Esther: "I had a joke, and I was talking about being bisexual. I'm like, you know, I date men, women, trans women..." [18:19]
Jenna: "My whole time publicly being like, it's okay to be with these people." [21:34]
Esther discusses how her genuine relationships have been misinterpreted and criticized online, leading to a broader conversation about cancel culture and the complexity of identity and acceptance.
Esther: "People are always gonna feel, well, the thing is, I." [21:34]
Kalila: "Something about what you're saying triggers their own self hatred and it throws them." [23:20]
This honest dialogue underscores the importance of staying true to oneself despite external pressures and highlights the diverse reactions individuals face when addressing sensitive topics.
The conversation shifts towards personal insecurities, aging, and the societal obsession with youth and appearance. Jenna and Esther open up about their struggles with self-image, leading to a relatable discussion for many listeners.
Jenna: "I've been freaking out recently about wrinkles on my forehead, but I won't get Botox because I'm afraid." [52:35]
Kalila: "I have Bell's palsy...I have no wrinkles here, it sends me into a panic..." [53:53]
Esther humorously adds, "I'm constantly grabbing my belly and being like, you stupid pig." [50:25], while the group discusses the double standards in how men and women approach their bodies and aging.
A heartfelt segment emerges as the hosts and guests share stories about their relationships with their parents, touching on topics like boundaries, cultural expectations, and personal space.
Jenna: "When I was younger and I used to moon, one time my mom came to school to pick me up...she was like, oh, darling, your tits are bigger." [35:55]
Kalila: "It's like a cultural thing...my mom wants to see it." [36:08]
These stories illustrate the challenge of maintaining healthy boundaries within families, especially when cultural norms clash with personal comfort levels.
The episode is interspersed with light-hearted and comedic segments, including a playful discussion about where each person would fall in a Mafia hierarchy.
Kalila: "Do you think that you or any of you would be. Where would you fall in the hierarchy of a mafia?" [46:24]
Esther: "I would be the consigliere." [48:35]
Jenna: "I would be the TaskRabbit and someone who calms someone down." [49:06]
This segment showcases the group's chemistry and ability to inject humor into serious topics, keeping the conversation engaging and entertaining.
Returning to the theme of authenticity, the hosts delve deeper into how Esther copes with online criticism and the importance of embracing one's individuality despite external negativity.
Esther: "I can’t change what I like just because I find out someone's a piece of shit." [16:35]
Jenna: "My dates are online. IanFinance.com..." [32:47]
The conversation emphasizes resilience and the significance of maintaining personal integrity in the face of adversity, inspiring listeners to stand firm in their beliefs and choices.
As the episode wraps up, the hosts and guests share final thoughts on personal growth, self-acceptance, and the value of supportive friendships. They also promote their respective projects and upcoming events.
