Esther Povitsky
Jason, I'm sorry. You're here on girls day.
Jason Cheney
I love it.
Esther Povitsky
Okay. Really?
Kalila
I know. I don't think you know what you're in for.
Jenna
It's just us squirrels.
Jason Cheney
Oh, really?
Kalila
Yeah. Because I really wanted to bring up the last conversation the three of us had, which involves heavy pubes.
Jenna
No.
Kalila
Okay.
Jenna
I was just gonna talk about that because I was thinking this morning in the shower because some of my pubes are like.
Kalila
Give him the backstory.
Esther Povitsky
First of all, he's married.
Jenna
Okay? I'm basically married, too. You know what? This is the thing that I can't stand. Let me just start with this, people. First off, you're hot, okay? And that's fine.
Esther Povitsky
I knew that was coming. Okay?
Jenna
This is what piss pisses me off. People act as if you can't tell someone that they're hot. And let me tell you, it's because men have ruined it. Because when men say that women are hot, they feel like they're targeted, like they might be followed home, like they might be in danger, like they are going to get attacked. When you tell a dude they're hot, they're like dope. They're not like, oh, she's gonna come and sit on my face and I won't be able to breathe. Like, they're not worried for their life.
Esther Povitsky
Say that.
Jenna
Esther, keep eating. Okay? Cuz you riled me up.
Kalila
Yeah, I hear you. I hear you. I think that objectively, I do think it's very safe when a girl's like, hey, you're really attractive. There's no actual, like, connected burning desire in my mind.
Jason Cheney
It's like, you appreciate the aesthetic.
Esther Povitsky
Let's hear from the victim.
Kalila
Okay.
Bobby
Yes.
Jason Cheney
Okay.
Jenna
I don't want you saying he's got a wife. I basically got a husband, too.
Kalila
I really need to hear your victim testimony.
Jenna
Yeah. How did you feel?
Jason Cheney
Wait, wait, wait. So wait, wait, what's happening?
Jenna
So basically what I was, is I was like, you're. You just want me to say it again? I had said that you were hot, and Esther jumped in. He's got a wife.
Esther Povitsky
No, no.
Jason Cheney
Oh, I see. I see, I see.
Jenna
As if.
Jason Cheney
I think there's a way to say that. But then the way you said it is like, oh, is that like, this water bottle is a good, nice one?
Jenna
Yeah. Like, oh, I like that pillow that you have.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, I like that. Exactly. Yeah.
Jenna
It's not like you are an object. Yeah, like I'm objectifying you.
Jason Cheney
But in a. Yeah, but it's nice,
Jenna
but yeah, not in a.
Jason Cheney
What is the. What's the premise of this?
Esther Povitsky
Lawyer up.
Jenna
The premise is Esther goes, whoa, whoa, whoa. He's got a wife. As if.
Jason Cheney
Oh, I see that.
Jenna
To wife you up. Marry you.
Jason Cheney
But this is for the.
Jenna
Have sex with you.
Jason Cheney
But this is for the clips. No.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah, it's called a podcast.
Jenna
It's called your opinion because you're sexist against women. Yes.
Kalila
I hear genocide.
Esther Povitsky
Anyways, welcome to Trash Tuesday.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther Povitsky
I'm your host.
Kalila
Sorry, that took a while.
Esther Povitsky
Mother Furby.
Jenna
He's like, what is going on?
Jason Cheney
No, I like it.
Esther Povitsky
Today's guest, we have. Jenna is back.
Jenna
Hi.
Esther Povitsky
And we have our fan favorite, our beloved Jason Chaney is back. Did I say your last name right?
Jason Cheney
Thank you. Yeah.
Jenna
Is it Chenny or Cheney?
Jason Cheney
Chenny.
Jenna
Chenny. So you said it wrong.
Esther Povitsky
Okay.
Jenna
But he wasn't gonna correct you.
Jason Cheney
I don't mind it.
Esther Povitsky
He should have cracked him.
Jason Cheney
I have no self respect.
Esther Povitsky
That's okay. People call me Esther, and I still just let them do it because I have a silent H in my name. Oh, you guys, I have a theory that I need to test out on everyone here. It's called the Esther Povitzky iced coffee relationship theory. Who's ready?
Jason Cheney
Me.
Jenna
We have no choice.
Esther Povitsky
So I think that for a relationship to be successful, only one person can drink iced coffee, and the other person has to be a hot coffee person. The way that you drink your coffee says so much about you.
Jason Cheney
That's very true.
Esther Povitsky
And that those, like, two iced coffee drinkers, it would be explosive. It would be a nightmare. Like, it would never.
Kalila
Or even too hot.
Jason Cheney
No, no, no, wait, no. But if it's two ice lattes, it's fine.
Esther Povitsky
No, no, no.
Jason Cheney
Two ice latte. Not cool.
Esther Povitsky
No, not. That's ice cold milk. One person has to have a hot latte and one person has to have a ice latte. Are you.
Jenna
But what if their order is a little different? Like iced oat milk latte.
Esther Povitsky
And then. You guys. What?
Kalila
I. You're not clear to me.
Esther Povitsky
Here is the Esther Pavitsky iced coffee relationship.
Jason Cheney
That's what we're trying to ask you about. Details.
Esther Povitsky
And you guys are.
Jenna
We're getting clarity from the connoisseur.
Esther Povitsky
What does iced coffee mean?
Jenna
It means just. Just coffee with ice.
Esther Povitsky
Okay. Ice drink, coffee drink, Cold drink, hot drink. Thank you.
Kalila
There we go.
Jenna
It's important to do studies before you get out there in the world.
Kalila
I was a. I was a tutor. We gotta, you know, bring it down to the basics. Cold or hot?
Esther Povitsky
Yeah. I feel like a hot coffee drinker. They're like more practical, they're frugal, they're just more serious in life. Whereas an iced coffee drinker, like, they're more carefree. You know, they. They're creative, they're free spirited.
Jenna
I think you're right. I really wanted to say that you were wrong.
Esther Povitsky
I know you did.
Jenna
But I'm thinking about my life and like my dad. My dad is hot coffee. That is it. That's all he wants. Maybe some cream and sugar. Hot r. My partner.
Esther Povitsky
Just a hot coffee and.
Kalila
Oh, Aloha is just hot and black. Not the man himself. Yeah, he's just very basic hot coffee guy. I don't think I've ever seen him. I think I would. Ick me out if I saw that kind of man with an iced drink, actually.
Esther Povitsky
Jason, are you awfully quiet, dude?
Jason Cheney
Aloha is also. He's like a practical and frugal.
Kalila
He's very like practical, like, how do you say, like salt of the earth.
Jason Cheney
Whoa.
Kalila
Kind of.
Jason Cheney
Dude, I never thought about the hot cold thing. And then because my mom is a hot coffee drinker and she's like, really frugal and.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, I never thought about it.
Kalila
She's serious.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, she's very serious.
Kalila
Yeah. And cold is very, like, silly. Right?
Jenna
Wait, but hold on.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah, you know, I don't like to
Jenna
put any cold into my body, though. It doesn't feel right. Chinese medicine says Jenna's Chinese again today. Okay, so. But that doesn't really match up with my personality. I'm not really an iced latte girly, but my personality says otherwise.
Esther Povitsky
But you drink iced coffee.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, I love it.
Jenna
Look at what is sitting next to me.
Esther Povitsky
Do you feel like you're a free spirited, crazy person?
Kalila
You silly boy?
Esther Povitsky
Silly boy.
Jason Cheney
I'm a silly boy. But I feel like most of it. Most of it's silly, but some, like. I have a calendar. Is that something.
Jenna
Is that a hot coffee calendar?
Kalila
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jason Cheney
Oh, my God.
Jenna
But that's.
Esther Povitsky
Because that's not.
Jenna
I don't remember anything that's unorganized. I have, like, a small one and then a bigger size one and then one that goes on my wall.
Esther Povitsky
If I recall how the last 15 seconds. 1. I don't think anyone asked you what the differences were you with each calendar.
Jenna
I wanted to.
Esther Povitsky
Just knowing that you had three. We're all like, stay away from.
Jenna
I wanted to try and defend my scared Jason. It sounded worse.
Jason Cheney
But. But the thing. If you have, like a big. You have one that's. You could, like, write on.
Jenna
Yeah, yeah.
Jason Cheney
But then you can't transfer that into, like, a digital one, though.
Jenna
Oh, yeah. I have on my phone, too. It's because of two things. Because I forget everything that's happening, and so I have to know, if I look in my phone, what if I forget my calendar at home? Or what if I'm at home and I forget my calendar somewhere else? It's on my wall. Adhd.
Jason Cheney
I never thought about that.
Kalila
You're kind of like a prized ADHD child in that, like, you really set up guardrails for yourself.
Jenna
True.
Kalila
Where it's like, know thyself, you know yourself. And it's like, I'm a three calendar bitch. I need all three.
Jenna
I will tell you why.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jenna
I will tell you why. You knew me in college.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jenna
I had no guardrails. I had been diagnosed at that point, like, three times. I had been prescribed Ritalin, like, a very high amount, but I didn't want to take it. And I was like, I don't have adhd. It's not a real thing. If you just focus, you can get past it. Not true. So I spent, like eight hours in the library a day, and the same page, reading the same page. And people would be going out and they'd be like, why are you still doing this? And I'm like. Or my study guides would be 24 pages long because I can't discern between important information.
Esther Povitsky
See, this is why I liked going to the library with her, because I didn't like to study. But I knew that if I went with her, we weren't gonna study. We were gonna.
Jenna
We were gonna dance in the corner. There were times where I was underneath the Table crying because I was like I just to understand how to write a paper. So it's true.
Esther Povitsky
I feel like I'm the opposite where it's in a bad way. Where like if you ask me any time of day and I haven't seen a clock for hours, like I will be within two minutes. I will just know the time. Like I'm so dialed in and I don't think it's good cuz I'm like not free. I'm not like in a flow state.
Jason Cheney
Wait, you know what time it is Usually, Yeah.
Jenna
What time is it?
Esther Povitsky
You can't right now.
Jenna
I mean this is kind of easy.
Esther Povitsky
This is kind of hard because like
Jenna
doing the time passes differently in the pod.
Esther Povitsky
I feel like it's probably around 11:35.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
11:33.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
11:33.
Game Host/Moderator
Yeah.
Jason Cheney
Oh my goodness.
Esther Povitsky
I always know Wizard.
Jenna
Wow.
Esther Povitsky
Not feel like you could do that sometimes I can.
Kalila
I'm very well aware of time. My body doesn't match my plans like ever. This has been my biggest struggle. It's like I have like big dreams for my day and my body does not like catch up to those dreams.
Jason Cheney
Is it stressful though?
Kalila
Like and then eight hours and I'm
Jenna
still like, do you really want to get petrified in bed?
Kalila
But I do know time.
Esther Povitsky
Where do you stand or sit knowing the times? Yeah.
Jason Cheney
I always say like, like an average. If you say 10 minutes out, five minutes is kind of 10 minutes, right?
Kalila
What, what.
Jenna
Kind of 10 minutes?
Jason Cheney
Depending on what it is. Like you're like, oh, I'll see you in five minutes. But it's really like 10 minutes or, or, or two.
Kalila
That depends who you talk to, not for her. If you say five minutes and it's not five minutes.
Jenna
Yeah. Like when I'm gonna have to be at Esther's house at 3, she sends me text that says 2:59.59. That's the time.
Jason Cheney
But do you, do you, do you get mad if.
Jenna
Why do you think this is an evil laugh?
Kalila
Yeah, she'll. If you're like, if it's right on time and you're not her, she go ETA.
Jason Cheney
Oh really?
Kalila
Okay.
Esther Povitsky
259. 59 is because I'm scared of being alone with my two kids. So I'm like, I need you.
Kalila
You've been counting down.
Jenna
Also you have such a good sense of time. Like when I watch Esther get ready at her house for somewhere, it's like I don't know what is happening for me in between like getting my water bottle, making my like today to be here at 11:15. I had to wake up at 8. I was like, where did all the time go? And I set a 20 minute timer, a 5 minute timer, a 10 minute timer.
Kalila
Hold on.
Esther Povitsky
I just really want to protect the male g a second and say, like, a woman has been talking for too long. And I would like to hear from jason.
Jenna
Wait, I'm a woman now? Since when do you refer to me as a woman?
Esther Povitsky
Since you've been yapping your mouth all day.
Jenna
Keep yapping. So how are you with time management, sir?
Esther Povitsky
Sir.
Jenna
How quickly we resort to patriarchy. To being a handmaid.
Kalila
You sent over a thing that says how girls are dressing this summer. Oh, okay. As I was already dressed and then I. I pulled up the picture and then I looked at my own outfit and I was like, oh, I think this is what they're talking about.
Esther Povitsky
So let's put this on the screen and if you're. If you're only listening. The how girls are dressing this summer report is a photo of james gandolfini wearing a pretty inexpensive looking white t shirt. It doesn't look like a nice cut at all. That's flattering to his body. He's wearing long shorts. We all have seen those everywhere.
Jenna
They look very polyester.
Esther Povitsky
Very, very long shorts. Yes. And he's nursing his son. And he also has a handkerchief, a bandana handkerchief over his head.
Jenna
Wait, can you say he's nursing his son even if he's not breastfeeding? Wouldn't it just be he's feeding his son?
Esther Povitsky
What did I say?
Jenna
Nursing. Just want to make sure men don't get that as well.
Esther Povitsky
Soprano. Well, John, never forget when I said to my dad, hey, jan, James gandolfini died. And he's like, I have to go. And he hung up. And I think he started crying.
Jenna
Oh, I know.
Esther Povitsky
Because men speak for the men. Men love the surprise.
Kalila
I think a lot of us do.
Esther Povitsky
Anyways, he looks pretty. Not great. But this is how all hot girls are dressing all over new york and l. A.
Kalila
Take a look at my outfit.
Jenna
I mean, she's literally wearing. Exactly.
Esther Povitsky
But you're hot at it.
Kalila
No, no, I'm wearing my flip flops.
Esther Povitsky
You're, like skinny all of a sudden.
Jenna
It's hot to dress like that.
Esther Povitsky
Why do you like this look for women?
Jason Cheney
I like it. It's like, pretty relaxing.
Jenna
Honestly, bro, I'll say this. This man has it right.
Esther Povitsky
He's scared of everything.
Jenna
They should be scared because he's acting right. He's coming. Correct. He's saying the Right. Shit.
Jason Cheney
Wait, I don't like this now. Whoa. What the. Is that
Jenna
back to me?
Jason Cheney
You like it?
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Kalila
So funny.
Jenna
What do you like? I was giving you a compliment. You're coming correct.
Jason Cheney
Yeah. How is that a compliment? Yeah, coming correct like you. You owe me or something.
Jenna
No, you're coming correct.
Jason Cheney
Some sort of subhuman.
Jenna
No, no, no, I'm incorrect.
Jason Cheney
What is correct?
Jenna
Well, coming incorrect would have been if you were like, nah, girls don't look hot like that. Girls shouldn't be wearing clothes like that.
Jason Cheney
That's my opinion.
Kalila
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you made some broad assumptions there. When you're like, he's scared. He's coming correct.
Jason Cheney
You just talking for me. What is happening?
Jenna
Okay. Damn. Okay, you're right.
Jason Cheney
I have an opinion, too.
Jenna
Oh, okay. Yes, sir.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jenna
Yes, sir.
Kalila
I'll say this about this James Gandolfini outfit, which I am looking at like his identical twin today. This is how I dressed in college as a college athlete. And I love that this whole look is coming back. The flip flops, the baggy shorts, like the, you know, the sloppy T shirt, the. I always thought it was one of the hotter looks when I would see just a girl look effortlessly, like, not giving a. Only because I. This silhouette, I know men wear it, but I actually think it looks extremely nice on a lot of women bodies.
Jason Cheney
I think women are beautiful. That's good, right? That's a good start.
Esther Povitsky
That's a good start.
Progressive Insurance Announcer
That's good.
Kalila
You can't come correct right now.
Jason Cheney
I think women are beautiful. And I don't know if this is a tangent or not, but if. If women are just naked immediately, when. When men see it, I'm not really. I'm like, all right. But then if it's a little cover, if it's covered up, whatever you wear is nice. Like, to me, maybe that's. Am I correct?
Esther Povitsky
Show up naked, huh?
Bobby
Yeah.
Jenna
Like, where. Are you that someone?
Jason Cheney
No, but you know what I mean.
Esther Povitsky
You're saying, like, you like mystery.
Jenna
You like some mystery.
Jason Cheney
I think all men like.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jason Cheney
Okay, maybe not all, but in general, the fashion thing, like, every F changes every five years, and people are like, I like this. I like that. No, but people are fudgeing just as much because we're like, oh, this is nice.
Esther Povitsky
Whatever he is, he's so straight. He has no opinion on the type of clothing that women wear.
Jenna
I'm gay, trust me, but that's also straight. A straight man who's like, yeah, I would fudge a dude. I'm like, you're straight and you're hot.
Kalila
I really, really want to believe that, but there was a time when I was really just a reckless, like, like horny, like all, like my molestation had not been processed in my brain where I would dress so provocatively with these coochie cutters. Whether you could just. Everything about me was like, everything.
Jason Cheney
Sorry, I'm just my uncle.
Jenna
Oh, no. Okay.
Kalila
But you asked that question for dude, that was.
Jason Cheney
I didn't expect that. I was trying to do a quick bit thing.
Jenna
He's doing a bit.
Kalila
No, but then, like, I want to believe that, but then I gotta say both versions. Me as James Gandolfini and me and coochie cutters. Both well received.
Jason Cheney
See, that's what I'm saying. So you agree with me?
Kalila
Yeah. No, I thought maybe you were thinking, like, all men just wanted James Gandolfini.
Jason Cheney
Oh, no, no, I think, yeah, no, both.
Kalila
Like, both.
Jason Cheney
However you dress, you're beautiful already. So if it's like a little bit of a mystery cover up and then we're like, oh, what's under it?
Jenna
Yeah, but what if it's not much of a mystery, is it? What if it's not as much of a mystery? Like, sometimes I'm wearing no clothes. Sometimes, I mean, not no clothes, but sometimes I'll wear like just a T shirt out. And other times with no bottoms. Yes. Are you kidding me?
Esther Povitsky
Wait, what?
Kalila
Yeah, are you kidding me? Her and I, that this is what we would wear?
Jenna
How is this T shirt? Last week I wore a T shirt, panties and boots.
Kalila
Okay. Okay.
Esther Povitsky
I want to go back to the Mexico. I want to go back to the. Paint the pants here. Because I know you're saying, like, oh, it's like casual, whatever, but this look, if you look specifically at his shorts, he's wearing a belt. Like, these are formal shorts. And that's what I'm seeing Silver Lake around New York. It's like, it's more of a formal, short look, which I don't think is.
Kalila
There's a cargo pocket, though.
Esther Povitsky
I don't like that because you say, oh, it's like so carefree. But when I see that around Silver, like, I'm like, these girls look like they're. They're showing up to work as like a plumber.
Jason Cheney
But this is 1895.
Esther Povitsky
No, 1999. Yeah, but that is truly what they're doing.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, but that's. But also the. The fabric they have was not as comfort as today. So that's their comfortable. That's their polyester. Right.
Esther Povitsky
Now, the fabrics have not. Hold on.
Jason Cheney
It has. Trust me.
Kalila
This is what I miss about being really young is that when I was younger, I could wear any fabric anytime, anywhere, and I wouldn't notice a thing about, like, now it's like, everything makes my coochie itch. Everything. Everything. If it's not 100% cotton, I'm just disgusting.
Jason Cheney
Why is it like this? Me too.
Kalila
I know you, too. Yeah, your coochie itches.
Jason Cheney
I like my coochie.
Kalila
See why.
Jason Cheney
Yeah.
Esther Povitsky
Okay. Well, speaking of the 90s.
Jenna
Okay.
Esther Povitsky
There is a little challenge going on in the new that has the New York Times has presented to all of us, and I'd like to share it and see if you see it. The challenge is to host a 90s style hangout. You may be wondering how I'll tell you.
Jenna
I feel like that's just every day already.
Esther Povitsky
So, basically, if you want to do this before a hangout, you get in touch with someone and you agree on one ground rule. You leave your phones at home, and if you must bring them, you have to keep them turned off. And then you decide where you're going before confirm the day before. And then you have to resist the urge to keep updating in real time. Like, there's no real time. Then you check directions before you go, and you commit to being on time.
Kalila
We use MapQuest.
Jenna
I was gonna say I love Map
Esther Povitsky
because you will not have the ability to say, like, I'm on my way, or like, I'm running late.
Kalila
Yeah.
Esther Povitsky
And then during the hangout, it's like, real face to face.
Jason Cheney
That's really exciting.
Kalila
This is. This is, like, literally my dream right now.
Esther Povitsky
It is.
Kalila
Oh, my God. Yes. I talk about it all the time. There's. I miss going to a place or going. I know you're not a club person, but we were just not giving a. About taking a photo, anything. It was just. You just existed and it was fun.
Jenna
Yeah.
Kalila
No updates. No weird glare from someone's phone.
Esther Povitsky
And here's the thing. It says, allow your conversation to meander. And you're like. Because you're used to filling the silence by picking up your phone and disappearing into separate feeds. Like, it will be uncomfortable. And it says, like, just trust that the conversation will pick up again and don't force it.
Jenna
I love this. I love.
Esther Povitsky
Kind of hard to do that. What do you think about it?
Kalila
Yeah, I think we've. We haven't done our reps in a long time because I think it's easier said than done because at one point, we probably did exist this way. But if I were to, like, have a camera on myself, I probably. The amount of times I'd probably pick up my phone is absurd.
Jenna
I pick up my phone too much, especially to update people like Esther. I'm like five minutes away, three minutes away, one minute away.
Esther Povitsky
I love how you act, but that's like you two, like, that's a two way street. I don't love all those updates.
Jenna
I don't know.
Game Host/Moderator
I don't know.
Jenna
Because sometimes if I don't give them, you go, eta.
Esther Povitsky
True.
Jenna
Where?
Esther Povitsky
True.
Jenna
How long?
Jason Cheney
But if you just show up on time, it's fine now or.
Jenna
Well, I don't know. You would think that it's fine, but
Jason Cheney
are you not on time?
Esther Povitsky
Wait, that's so real.
Jenna
Yeah, I am on time.
Esther Povitsky
You are.
Jenna
I am on time.
Jason Cheney
What's the problem?
Esther Povitsky
No, she'll be like, okay, my ETA says 303, but I think I'm gonna make up for the time in the air.
Jenna
I do. I do do that.
Esther Povitsky
She's like, it's 2:59. I'm here.
Jenna
It's a long explanation because I'm scared of Esther. I' scared to come after 259-59- it
Esther Povitsky
is a video game at this point, basically, that we're playing.
Kalila
So how do we. How do we plan this? And who's invited?
Jason Cheney
Wait, can I ask real quick though? Like before, like the scrolling the phones before, what did people do? I forgot. What do people do when two people talk and then there's like a silent situation?
Esther Povitsky
It's a good question, because I haven't thought about that in a long time. And it sounds really.
Jason Cheney
Because I never felt like I panicked before, but then now, if there's too long of a silent, I'm kind of like, all right, do I eat the food? Like, real slow? Like, what?
Jenna
I love a silence, like when I'm hanging out with someone.
Jason Cheney
Just like, no, I love that when it's comfortable. But then when it's two people, if you just meet for the first time.
Kalila
You ran out of things.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, you ran out of things. There's always like a kind of a moment thing, so. But before, I don't think we ever saw that.
Kalila
I get really annoying. This is where I'm like, kalila, turn on your podcast brain and come up with the next topic. It's like, the responsibility is on me now.
Jenna
Stop. She'll.
Jason Cheney
Oh, really?
Kalila
I'm stressed. This is why I go home tired. This is why I tell Aloha, do not bring me. Because he's like, Babe. Someone's birthday party as I have fun.
Jason Cheney
Yeah.
Kalila
Because I don't know how to not be a podcast girl, and I feel a responsibility of being like, what next are we gonna talk about?
Esther Povitsky
You're, like, hosting.
Jenna
I will say that you've been like this, though, before you started podcasting.
Kalila
Yeah. But then I come out exhausted, so this is why my real friends know I'm actually a very, very quiet person. If you're in the home with me, leave me the alone. I'm fine. But in a social setting, you'll. You'll. You'll think that I am a social butterfly, but that's because I'm like. I feel pressure to, like, keep the conversation going because why? I'm uncomfortable.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah. So. Yeah. Why?
Kalila
I have social anxiety, and I feel like I'm scared of being perceived as, like, what I really am, which is the wallflower in, like, the corner, which I really want to be.
Esther Povitsky
What's gonna happen if you're like. Like Anna, that.
Kalila
They don't. In my head, it's. They don't like me if I don't bring something entertaining to the table or. Or interesting or show them, like, a little bit of who. Like, what I think about the world, whatever. I. In my head, I. Some. There's a part of my brain that's like, oh, she's boring.
Jenna
I don't know if this is behind how I used to be. Yeah. But you know how I wanted to, like, entertain everyone all the time? I would walk into a room. I just wanted people to laugh.
Esther Povitsky
You're like a really good third wheel when two people are trying to fall in love. Because I feel like if you want to fall in love, you always need, like, a third person to, like.
Kalila
He's so silly.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah. Like, oh, my God, isn't she so weird? And then was like, oh, we love.
Jenna
Yeah, dude. I was a third. I was like, the third wheel because I didn't start dating till college. I'm telling you, I was on dates with friends. They were starting to make out at the movie theater. It was the two of them and me.
Jason Cheney
Well, why aren't you dating, though?
Jenna
I was just, like, too busy doing other things. Too busy trying to make people laugh, I guess.
Kalila
You know who else is like this? Gilbert.
Jenna
Yes.
Kalila
Gilbert is the perfect person. I invite him everywhere to anything because everyone is, like, not on guard around him because he's so just, like, wonderful and sunshiny.
Jenna
But we also both make fools of ourselves.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
All the time.
Kalila
Silly. So everyone's just like, ah, okay. We can Relax now. He's so silly.
Jason Cheney
How is it on the inside?
Jenna
It used to feel really good to me because I felt like I was having fun and interacting with people. Then it started really tiring me out. And now I would say I'm much different in social settings. Like I'm. I listen more, I'm a bit more quiet. If I get the urge to, like, want to be the funny one because someone else is being funny, I'm like, you take it. You got, you got, you got that.
Esther Povitsky
That's how I feel. Yeah, wrong comedians too. I did something last week. I hit such a low for someone who works in our field. Like a comedian who's like, supposed to have like ideas and thoughts.
Bobby
Thoughts.
Esther Povitsky
I realized I am so boring at home. I ordered a set of cards that are conversation starters.
Jenna
That's cool.
Esther Povitsky
When me and Dave have our like 15 minutes together at the end of the night.
Jenna
Wait for you guys.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jenna
I thought it was for other people,
Kalila
but she thought for herself.
Jenna
She's out Me.
Esther Povitsky
Just me.
Jenna
Like, oh, never thought of that before.
Esther Povitsky
I literally like, okay, Dave, I get him. I sit him down. I'm like, all right, how would you describe your personal taste and interior style? And then we talk for 15 minutes.
Kalila
I feel like these are important questions to ask your partner.
Jenna
I think that's cool to like reignite
Esther Povitsky
conversations and that's how I know that it's not cool.
Jenna
Got it.
Kalila
I appreciate that. It's kind of like one of those things where before I used to think that people who plan sex are like psychopaths paths. But when you get older and when life happens, you're like, you know what? What's so bad about a planned session?
Jenna
Yeah, what's the alternative? Not planning it and then just not having sex.
Jason Cheney
But also, are we supposed to. I'm just. When you said that, I'm like, are we supposed to think about what to ask them and be genuinely interested or.
Kalila
That's why the cards are there.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, but you, if you have a card, is like, you. We didn't use our brain to. Not that I have. I don't have any questions to ask you oven. But. But not that I have it.
Jenna
But I'm saying that also you might not care.
Jason Cheney
Care. Not that maybe you do care, but we're so busy every day doing the stuff that we're like, dude, I don't have energy to ask you your interior taste.
Esther Povitsky
For me, that's not an issue. Once I see the question, I'm like, all right, let's go. Like, I'm In.
Jason Cheney
Oh, okay, I see.
Esther Povitsky
I'm interested.
Jason Cheney
But then this is the hard one. The. The coming up with the question. That's interesting.
Kalila
But, you know, here's what I'll say about that. I know what you're saying, which I
Jason Cheney
don't know if it makes sense.
Kalila
You know, I think when you've been with someone, you're married, you're married. We. When you've been with someone for so long, you kind of.
Game Host/Moderator
Of.
Jason Cheney
It's the same thing.
Kalila
Stop getting to know them because you
Jenna
kind of know, because you're getting curious,
Kalila
but then you kind of don't. Because people evolve, right? So I think it's good to pick up a pack of cards and kind of like, who are you?
Jason Cheney
No, I wasn't hating.
Esther Povitsky
No, no, I know. Yeah.
Kalila
No, I know what you're saying, because it's like, shouldn't I come up on my own? And, like, should I? But I think when your brain is really tired and a lot of things are happening in your day, it's good to have something already there to, like, a minor assistance.
Jenna
It's just something that's my brain not working. Because from there can come a conversation that maybe ignites something that you actually care about. And then you ask a question on your own.
Kalila
What if you're like, I really don't even care to know your answer about your interior design taste?
Jenna
Then you go to the next car.
Jason Cheney
Okay, I think this is where, like,
Game Host/Moderator
some shared hobbies help a little bit, because there's always something to talk about. Like, if you care about the same music, games, sports.
Jenna
I don't want no shared hobbies.

Like where I can feel that's my thing with skims all the time. It's like it hits both comfortable and then yet I feel like, oh wait, I'm still kind of hot, I've still got it and I'm fulfilling my desire of being the earth mother where it's cotton, it's natural fibers but I just feel really good about myself. The skims cotton jersey fold over pant.
Kalila

Jason Cheney
Can't see a like a random thing.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jenna
Do you hear anything that we've been saying? Just all we do is random.
Jason Cheney
I like that because just off of the card that you're I I like to ask like people what their perfect day Looks like. Oh, if you have like a, you know, like a billion dollars, where are you? What does your furniture look like?
Jenna
Wow.
Jason Cheney
And like, what are you doing when you're waking up? Are you still working? How many kids? How many dogs? And are you spending time. Who. You know, I mean, because I feel like with those answers, like, every single thing tells you a lot about their personality.
Jenna
Damn.
Jason Cheney
And then their values.
Jenna
Yeah.
Jason Cheney
So I. But then sometimes you ask, maybe. Because I feel like you. Even if you add the same person, maybe you. You come up with a.
Jenna
What?
Jason Cheney
My brain shut down. That was. That was too much.
Esther Povitsky
Wait, it's like us all the time. Yeah.
Jenna
I think that's a really good question.
Kalila
Yeah. But that answer changes a lot, right? Depending on where you're at, like in your life and stuff. I. I think it's a great. I think we should all talk about, like, as it stands today, Wednesday, July, whatever.
Jenna
Whatever.
Kalila
What does your perfect day look like?
Jenna
I was afraid you were going to actually.
Esther Povitsky
I mean, the thing is that it's like your perfect day better be so boring. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Kalila
Like, I agree.
Esther Povitsky
Do you want to have, like, an exciting day?
Jason Cheney
Okay. Maybe like Tuesday or Wednesday?
Jenna
Because that can't be every day, right?
Jason Cheney
Yeah, it can't be every day.
Jenna
A perfect day for me is like, I wake up.
Jason Cheney
Where are you, though? Wake up. Where?
Jenna
Not in my apartment.
Esther Povitsky
I still doing construction.
Kalila
Homeless.
Esther Povitsky
So she wakes up.
Kalila
Homeless.
Jenna
Yeah, we're still doing construction. I wake up in my apartment. The AC feels nice. I've been sleeping with it around 64
Esther Povitsky
to 65 and I'm waking up very expensive.
Game Host/Moderator
That's cold.
Kalila
That's expensive for la.
Jenna
Except what's important to me is how I feel.
Esther Povitsky
It's perfect day.
Kalila
Don't. On a perfect.
Jenna
What's most important to me is my health. So how I feel. So I.
Jason Cheney
Wait, how many? Where? What? Which city?
Jenna
Oh, oh, whatever. Whatever city I'm in.
Jason Cheney
Oh, you don't care.
Jenna
No, I just want to feel good and it's rich. Not have a migraine.
Kalila
Ah, perfect day is health related.
Jenna
Yeah. I want to not have a migraine. I want to wake up, have a good formed poop. I want to form. Yeah, I want.
Bobby
How many.
Jason Cheney
How many slides?
Jenna
Just one slide.
Jason Cheney
Oh, one slide. Okay.
Jenna
Yeah. So the fibers are bonding.
Jason Cheney
Well, that's nice.
Jenna
Then I want to have the means to make a wonderful breakfast and not feel like you make it.
Jason Cheney
You cook it or somebody else cook
Jenna
it, because this is. Oh, wait, hold on, hold on.
Jason Cheney
Perfect day. You could have Anything.
Esther Povitsky
Wait, this is like when one time, like, 10 years ago, Jen and I were on a walk, and I was like, how much money would you need to feel like you're sick, set for life? She goes, let me think. Hold on. $10,000.
Jenna
I really was like, when I have $10,000, I will be rich.
Esther Povitsky
I was like, I know we're in our 20s, but, like, I was 26 at the time.
Kalila
You should want.
Jason Cheney
That makes sense.
Esther Povitsky
More.
Jenna
Oh, my God, you're so right. It's. I gotta reach higher. Okay.
Esther Povitsky
And she, by the way, she was
Jason Cheney
like, that's really funny.
Esther Povitsky
10,000. 10,000.
Jenna
Like, yeah, girl.
Jason Cheney
That's really nice.
Jenna
Okay, wait, no, no, no. You're right. I have a private chef.
Jason Cheney
You have a.
Jenna
Can make me food that I'm not allergic to. And I can run the AC because it doesn't matter because I have enough money to run the ac.
Esther Povitsky
Maybe it does matter.
Jason Cheney
Oh, my God. This is crazy, because it makes sense when I'm like, which city? And you're like, anywhere, which is like, you don't really care where the thing is. It's just like, you're alive.
Jenna
Yeah. I just want to feel good in my body.
Jason Cheney
Oh, my God.
Jenna
I feel like I've been happy and so, like, in the most. In the. The shittiest places. Like, where are you still?
Jason Cheney
That's so nice.
Jenna
But not anymore. I don't think I'm like that anymore. And so my perfect day would be
Jason Cheney
that I just said, you just appreciate a smooth. I think you're still there. That's if you're appreciating.
Jenna
Oh, my God, I'm gonna cry.
Kalila
Yeah, that is important.
Jenna
Yeah, you're right.
Jason Cheney
No, but it's still nice, though. But if you're happy just with the smooth shit, I think that's the best.
Jenna
Yeah.
Jason Cheney
Because some people's like, let me get 10,000.
Jenna
I would like to have enough money to eat at Air1 Private Chef. I have a day I'm working on set and a TV show that I love, and I don't get a migraine. And I can see out of both my eyes, and I'm feeling good. And my parents are healthy.
Jason Cheney
Where do they live? Are they.
Jenna
They live in Chicago still, but I have now moved them out to wherever I live.
Jason Cheney
Wherever you live.
Jenna
That would. That would.
Jason Cheney
Do you have a Concedo for them, or do you have like a. Do they have like a guest house? Guest house?
Jenna
Yeah, they have a guest house house. And then I go to sleep, put my AC back down to 64 it
Jason Cheney
was up in the morning.
Jenna
Yeah. Yeah. So it's 64, and then I usually turn it off.
Jason Cheney
Well, dude, would you just put it on auto just in case it goes
Esther Povitsky
up, it comes back perfect day. Why not just leave it on?
Jason Cheney
What's happening right now?
Kalila
As someone who is. Whose baby daddy is an H vac guy, I don't like your Turn it off AC running. No, that's so much more power to load it back.
Jenna
It's a lot harder to load it back up, which is actually what me and Dave were yelling at her about.
Esther Povitsky
I'm just so annoyed that you were there for that. And this is happening right now.
Kalila
You rack up your bill.
Esther Povitsky
Will you keep it on? Keep it on.
Jenna
You do keep it on, but just a little higher. Like from 65. Like this morning. I went from 69. Was this morning. I put it back up to 76 before I left.
Jason Cheney
What? Why? To save money.
Jenna
Yeah, because I met someone else's home dog.
Kalila
You can't power down, power up every day.
Esther Povitsky
What are you talking about?
Jenna
You can't turn it all the way off and on. You have to leave it on. But it can be at a higher.
Esther Povitsky
That's what I do.
Kalila
Oh, okay. I thought maybe shut down your ac.
Jenna
It does.
Jason Cheney
How much money do you think we're saving from 76 to 69?
Jenna
I think more than like $200 a month.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
So no one else had to do their perfect day?
Kalila
No, I, I. Very easy.
Esther Povitsky
Perfect day. My perfect day. Let me go because mine's really quick. I wake up, Jenna's locked in a hot cage. I go back to bed.
Kalila
You peek to see hours later that she's still in the hot cage.
Jenna
You go back to bed again. You release me to do work in your house.
Esther Povitsky
That's true.
Jenna
So I know you wouldn't keep me locked in there forever.
Esther Povitsky
Okay, who's next?
Jason Cheney
No, I'm curious. I don't have one.
Kalila
Mine's easy. We're in Hawaii or the Philippines or somewhere where my eczema doesn't flare. Oh, my baby's eczema doesn't flare. The aloha's eczema doesn't flare.
Esther Povitsky
Oh, my God.
Kalila
We're just an itchy family. Okay. Okay. And then we spend the day at the beach with a baby. We go shelling, we go catch a couple fish. We go home, we cuddle. And that is all I ever want in life. Life.
Jason Cheney
That's not true.
Kalila
It's all I ever want. I swear. Not even career related. If I had that. And, like, I Had, like, the means to, like, support that life. That life. That's, like, more than enough.
Jenna
Yeah. I don't actually think that she's telling the truth.
Jason Cheney
Why do you think women in Los
Kalila
Angeles doing the stuff to support that life? That's all I dream about.
Jenna
Yeah. Kalila doesn't care about any of this.
Esther Povitsky
Oh, Esther's skeptical because I used to feel like that, too. And I know we're very different, and it is more realistic that you don't want anything else. Else, but I just feel like. Doesn't it. It don't. It could get boring.
Jenna
Like, you need, like.
Esther Povitsky
You know what it is, is I feel like I go through these phases where I'm like, I just want to be a mom. I don't want to do other stuff. And then I realize, like, wait, like, I need a little more.
Kalila
The thing is, like, I've had a very unboring life, I think, with too much, like, craziness. And I once went on, when Bobby was relapsing, we took him to a place in Arizona. I was in for a family session, and this one therapist said something that, like, completely rewired my brain. And he said, healing is in the boredom. And that stuck with me forever. And it made sense, particularly for me, it made sense for Bobby, because I think at that point, we were always chasing this, like, dopamine hit of life. We always think, right around the corner is going to be a career change. Right around the corner is going to be this offer. Right around the corner is going to be this. And there's always a right around the corner. And I always, always sought that my whole life. And I always found that my nervous system was very disregulated that way. And I was always sweating, sweating, sweating, sweating. I now really welcome boredom. I welcome simplicity. And I just want to be with my baby and aloha and. No, with no eczema.
Jason Cheney
Oh, my God. That's the best.
Bobby
Thank you.
Jason Cheney
That's really. That's really.
Jenna
He likes all of our perfect life.
Esther Povitsky
That was really profound, though. The healing is in the boredom. That's really scary.
Jenna
Yeah.
Jason Cheney
Was it in the beginning really hard. Hard to be in boredom, like, because
Kalila
it's like, my brain doesn't work that way. My brain. I have a hot brain. It's always firing.
Jenna
You do have a hot brain.
Kalila
Yeah, I have a hot brain. All of us have hot brains. If you're in this field and you are like, my friend, you have a hot brain.
Jenna
She just called us her friends.
Esther Povitsky
That's crazy.
Kalila
Write it down. It's a diary.
Jenna
We've got it.
Esther Povitsky
What's your perfect day?
Jason Cheney
I don't have one.
Jenna
One. All of that. You made us make up our perfect days and you don't have perfect day.
Jason Cheney
Perfect life thing with the. With the beach thing. I'm curious if it. But like, that is perfect. Peaceful. You're not like thinking about a thing like, that's like. Like you really enjoy that. More like just a fish. Like, go get a fish.
Kalila
My partner and I, like, we're ocean people.
Jason Cheney
Yeah.
Kalila
You know, we're divers. We do all this. So it's already part of the thing that we love the most.
Esther Povitsky
Most.
Jenna
And there's activity in it. You're not.
Kalila
And it's very meditative. It's just calming and boring and wonderful.
Jenna
They're like diving. There's gear, there's activity.
Jason Cheney
There's a lot to do.
Esther Povitsky
There's some.
Kalila
There's some logistics that I would add into that perfect day, which is like, I wish I didn't have to dry my gear and clean up my. At the end of the day, but I won't get into that.
Jenna
You would hire me to do it?
Esther Povitsky
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You let her out of her hot.
Kalila
You let her out of her house.
Esther Povitsky
Are cool off with some work.
Kalila
I think the one that wins is Esther's.
Jenna
That's me from my. My crate. Wait, can we talk about the World Cup? Are we just not going to World Cup? We're not going to talk about the United states and the 41 loss?
Kalila
No.
Jenna
Okay. But how about before that, how Trump tried to rig the World Cup? I won't say that he tried to rig the World cup. So US Was given a red card for one of their players. Trump inserted himself in. The one thing that was basically uniting the United States was soccer. And he decided to insert himself and he asked for the red card to be like, revoked. Obeyed.
Kalila
Yeah.
Jenna
What's up is that the United States played like agreeable trash, which we had been playing really, really well.
Kalila
The vibes, the morale.
Jenna
The vibes changed everything. Like your mentals when you're playing a sport. I'm telling you because I know that you don't know is very, very important.
Game Host/Moderator
He definitely fudged up the vibe. We went from like underdog a USA Cinderella to like the whole world wanting us to lose because we cheated and got a player back that we should
Kalila
like, kind of took away the grit.
Game Host/Moderator
Yeah.
Kalila
Of the day is the.
Esther Povitsky
So the US is out now.
Jenna
They're out now.
Kalila
Lost to Belgium 414-1241 is brutal.
Jenna
Everyone was mocking Trump afterward because you could tell that, like, the players felt like. Like, this was all just fake.
Esther Povitsky
Oh, my God. Is this like, Trump was like, the narcissistic parent who's like, I. You got. My babies are good. Like, and then he, like, took their dignity away.
Kalila
Yeah. It's like, you know, when you're a parent, you have to allow your children to fail, and you have to allow them to find their own solutions in life, sometimes without interference. Right. And I think he was a narcissistic. Interference. Interference.
Jenna
But also, this is soccer. There's always going to be things that happen that you don't agree with. Like, it was. Most people didn't think it should have been a red card. That happens all the time. It's not like this is the first time it's happened in history where people are like, that's not a red card.
Kalila
Should have just shut the up. Amongst other things you should shut the up about. But. Yeah.
Jason Cheney
But it was kind of cool, though, too.
Jenna
What?
Jason Cheney
It's like, take it back. No, that's like, who did. Nobody's done that, though.
Jenna
No, people have done that in history. People have petitioned to have. Have, I think, like, 60s. That was like, the last.
Jason Cheney
Yeah, 1960. He's like, it's time again.
Game Host/Moderator
A long time ago.
Jenna
Yeah. Like in the 1960s.
Game Host/Moderator
We do have a game prepared. Oh, yeah, we have a game of Jenga. Specialty game of Jenga that has Truth and dares on the bottom of there.
Jenna
Esther, of course, does not care. The table is bouncing.
Game Host/Moderator
What is it on the. What is it on the bottom? It's a dare. All right.
Esther Povitsky
Okay. I transfer my dare to Jenna.
Jason Cheney
Okay, you can transfer.
Jenna
Esther just made that up.
Jason Cheney
Oh.
Esther Povitsky
Can all dares go to Jenna?
Jason Cheney
Sure.
Game Host/Moderator
It's your show. Yeah, absolutely.
Esther Povitsky
It's my show.
Game Host/Moderator
Jenna, recreate the love scene with anyone in the room from the notebook.
Jenna
So I have to say words.
Game Host/Moderator
We got a script for you acting.
Kalila
Okay, hold on. No, Jason. You're. You're Noah. You're Noah.
Jason Cheney
But I read slow.
Jenna
That's okay.
Kalila
All the better. You know what? Noah read slow, too.
Jason Cheney
Oh, good, good, good. Perfect, perfect.
Jenna
Okay, so I'm Allie. I don't remember of this. Okay. Why didn't you write me?
Jason Cheney
Wait, you have another. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Jenna
I'm still talking. Noah.
Jason Cheney
My bad. That's my bad.
Jenna
It wasn't over for me. I waited for you for seven years. Seven years. And now it's too late. Long pause.
Jason Cheney
I wrote you 365 letters.
Jenna
Pause.
Jason Cheney
I wrote you Every day. Every day for a year.
Jenna
God, you guys.
Jason Cheney
Is that good?
Esther Povitsky
So good.
Jenna
You wrote me.
Bobby
Yes.
Jason Cheney
It wasn't over. It still isn't over. I think that's the.
Esther Povitsky
Wow.
Jenna
Wow, wow, wow. Good thing we didn't book that.
Jason Cheney
Was that good?
Esther Povitsky
It was.
Jenna
We were good.
Jason Cheney
We're the best.
Jenna
Yeah.
Esther Povitsky
Okay, who's next?
Jenna
Obviously, you've never played Jenga.
Jason Cheney
Is that the rule? No.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah. Okay.
Game Host/Moderator
Draw a picture of the person to your left. We have a little notepad for you.
Jenna
Oh, no, you just gotta go.
Bobby
Just.
Kalila
Just the nose.
Jenna
No, because it's gonna look bad.
Esther Povitsky
So you're calling her ugly?
Jenna
No, I'm calling me not talented and I'm a sharpie.
Esther Povitsky
I'm sorry. I had no idea she thought you were ugly.
Jenna
Those are such a.
Kalila
Now we know lying. Put her in her hot cage right
Esther Povitsky
now while we let Jenna draw. Should we have Kalila.
Jenna
I would just like to say I'm not good at drawing.
Kalila
Here's letting her skip the job.
Jenna
Okay, I guess I'll do the side view because that's all I can see.
Jason Cheney
You can't poke three of them. And then. And then.
Kalila
Oh. Ah. Dare, Dare. Let me see my dare first before I pass it on to Jenna.
Game Host/Moderator
Sure.
Esther Povitsky
What are you. You're still only on the hair, girl. This is a podcast. We are done.
Game Host/Moderator
The dare that you pulled was to give a lap dance to anyone in the room.
Kalila
Oh, that's for Jenna. No, thank you.
Jenna
I'm busy being an artiste.
Kalila
Actually, you know what? What?
Jenna
Can you look to the side again?
Kalila
I'm trying not to. For you to get my profile.
Esther Povitsky
Let's check in with Jason.
Jenna
You need me to do a lap dance right now?
Esther Povitsky
Yeah. While you're drawing, you have to give me a lap dance, Esther.
Kalila
I'm going to eat my beef.
Esther Povitsky
This is fully falling apart. This is horrible. Refund.
Jason Cheney
Refund.
Esther Povitsky
Red card.
Jenna
Ew. Ew.
Kalila
Balakan's on the dance floor.
Jason Cheney
Oh, my God. Did you practice this? Do. Wait, do. Do all women know how to do a lap dance?
Esther Povitsky
I think so.
Jenna
I love that response. That was really good. Of course.
Esther Povitsky
Of course.
Jenna
I need to see your side view because I already started drawing the hair to the side.
Esther Povitsky
Moved on.
Kalila
And we've moved on from my portrait.
Esther Povitsky
She has to eat her beef and rice.
Game Host/Moderator
I feel like it's going to come down on this next in May, you know, like, we're close.
Jason Cheney
Go.
Jenna
I haven't even gotten to go yet.
Game Host/Moderator
You got to draw quicker right there.
Esther Povitsky
Are they all dares?
Game Host/Moderator
There's a lot of Dares. It's dare heavy. Would you like a truth?
Esther Povitsky
No, I'll take a dare.
Game Host/Moderator
Okay.
Esther Povitsky
No, I'll take a truth. I'll take a truth so I don't have to get up.
Jenna
Oh God. Lips. Is it because you have big lips? But it's not coming out right.
Game Host/Moderator
Without naming a specific ex, what was their most off putting habit? Habit.
Jason Cheney
And who is it? Who's this?
Game Host/Moderator
Without naming full name?
Jason Cheney
Government.
Kalila
We all know her exes.
Esther Povitsky
It shouldn't be too hard. Off putting habit. I'm usually the one in the relationship with off putting habits if I'm being honest.
Jason Cheney
What's like a really off putting habit? That of you, of me and then him. So two. Two truths.
Esther Povitsky
Two truths. Wait, that's not how this works. I don't. Do you know of an off putting habit of one of your exes?
Kalila
I. Yeah, of course. Are you kidding me?
Jenna
Oh God.
Kalila
Yeah, I know. Off putting habit of your exes. What?
Esther Povitsky
Say that.
Kalila
No, no, no, no.
Jenna
I have the photo guys.
Kalila
Let me see, let me see.
Esther Povitsky
Oh, show it.
Kalila
Wait, that's really good.
Esther Povitsky
Let me see.
Kalila
Although. Why am I sunken like right here?
Esther Povitsky
Because. Because. Let me see it.
Kalila
And my lips are just like all
Esther Povitsky
the way out here.
Jenna
I guess I did want to listen because you were talking about your nose so I wanted to not make it big and so I tried to put it in but then it was too late.
Esther Povitsky
Actually kind of pretty.
Kalila
Yeah, it's actually really nice.
Esther Povitsky
Can I see? Are you an artist?
Game Host/Moderator
No.
Jenna
Let's look again. She's holding a banana.
Esther Povitsky
There's something to it though.
Kalila
I like it. I. I like it.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah.
Jenna
Okay.
Game Host/Moderator
Esther, would you prefer a dare? Your next dare. I would like to see this one.
Esther Povitsky
Okay, sure.
Kalila
What's it?
Game Host/Moderator
Can you sing your favorite Hamilton number?
Jenna
Yes.
Esther Povitsky
I actually am not a Hamilton fan, which I know makes no sense, but
Jenna
no one else is in the room where it happened. The room where it happened. The room where it happened. Look, she knew it.
Esther Povitsky
That's like the one thing I know. Thank you.
Jenna
Yes.
Esther Povitsky
Yeah, it's a little too like popular for Hamilton.
Jenna
Is incredible.
Esther Povitsky
I'm getting some nods from the cool girls in the back. Okay, Jenna, pull your. It's your turn finally. Is it? Kyla has left the show. I'm so hungry. Me too.
Kalila
I'm so hungry.
Jenna
You guys want to eat right before you come?
Kalila
It's not that. It's just that when you still breastfeeding, it's like. Like hunger never leaves your mind.
Jenna
That's true. I have a dare. Are these only dares we already covered this.
Esther Povitsky
While you were drawing.
Jenna
I was. I was busy. I was deep in my artistic flow.
Esther Povitsky
You lost sense of track of time. In all senses.
Game Host/Moderator
The next stare up is to call anybody and have the people in the room tell you what to say.
Esther Povitsky
Yes. This is.
Jenna

Esther Povitsky

Episode: Jason Cheny VS Jenna Jimenez
Release Date: July 14, 2026
In this lively “Girls’ Day” episode of Trash Tuesday, Esther and Khalyla are joined by returning favorites Jason Cheny and Jenna Jimenez. The group dives into classic Trash Tuesday territory: dissecting the differences between hot and iced coffee drinkers (and what that reveals about relationships and personalities), summer fashion trends, the chaos of time management for ADHD adults, the value (and difficulty) of real human connection in the digital age, and their collective longing for simplicity in a world that prizes hustle and spectacle. Stay tuned for tangents on parenting, World Cup controversies, and a raucous round of Jenga Truth-or-Dare.

Jenna (on complimenting men):
“When you tell a dude they're hot, they're like dope. They're not like, oh, she's gonna come and sit on my face and I won't be able to breathe.” ([03:51])
Esther (on time awareness):
“If you ask me any time of day and I haven't seen a clock for hours, like I will be within two minutes. ...I don't think it's good 'cause I'm not free. I'm not in a flow state.” ([11:29])
Kalila (on simplicity):
“Healing is in the boredom.” ([43:41])
Jason (on fashion and mystery):
“However you dress, you’re beautiful already. So if it’s like a little bit of a mystery cover up and then we’re like, oh, what’s under it?” ([19:17])
Khalyla (on conversation pressure):
“In a social setting, you'll think that I am a social butterfly, but that's because ...I feel pressure to ...keep the conversation going because why? I'm uncomfortable.” ([25:02])
Bobby Lee (on Jason):
“He looks like...the Asian version of that black man from the Pixar movie Soul.” ([57:56])
This episode offers classic Trash Tuesday fun, with sharp observations about modern relationships, friendship, self-acceptance, and finding happiness in life's smaller moments. The crew moves fluidly from hilariously petty jabs (“Jenna in a hot cage”) to wholesome real talk (longing for simple, phone-free joy and healthy bodies). Between games, confessions, and digressions, the episode captures Trash Tuesday’s unique blend of unfiltered humor, vulnerability, and chaos.
For more, catch the next Trash Tuesday – and if you’re curious, check out Jason Cheny’s tour updates!
