Summary
The Lord has returned! Our most recurring guest Jared Freid (comedian, podcaster, ick whisperer) joins us to talk about THE ICK. We define what the ick is (and what it isn’t), break down icks vs. turnoffs, share our own icks and Jared’s favorites from around the world, discuss ick appropriation and if icks have gone too far, and Jared explains down why guys don’t get the ick. We also talk about Extension-gate, the main difference between “bad dates” in NYC vs. LA, and airline loyalty, and then we have one of the most awkward moments in Girls Gotta Eat history. Before Jared joins us, we’re catching up on Rayna’s Italy trip and our latest thoughts on solo travel, debate which pizza chain is best, and Ashley shares the psychotic thing she did to her brother’s Barbie when they were kids. AND we have tons of TV and book recs. Enjoy!
