First and foremost, #Bucksin6. Even though Olivia watched a movie Amy recommended instead. The movie was "Good on Paper" which is based on a true life story of Iliza Shlesinger, the standup comedian. Like she talks about in the movie... why is a persistent guy seen as a positive thing, whereas a persistent girl is seen as crazy? Not fair. We also discuss a lot of the red flags for the guy in the movie, including that she hadn't seen where he lived. You can learn a lot about a person based on where they live! After Olivia survives almost spewing kombucha out her nose, we talk about what's the difference between trusting your gut versus getting in your own way? Also, we determine that it's a big red flag if you never meet a guy's friends. Gotta pass the friend check!
If you wanted to fast forward past spoilers, head to 23:09 (holy crap, we talk about that movie for a looooong time). This is when Olivia goes through real profiles she's seen on the apps to get Ashley and Amy's reactions. Please help me interpret this one: "You won't be taken seriously until you prove you can be." Whaaaaa? Needless to say, Ashley and Amy want to send a lot of these guys to therapy. Or start "What Not to Wear" but for men's dating profiles.
60 Second Sips starts at 32:17 and we disagree about men who talk too much and men who want you to mow the lawn. No thanks, sir. We then get into our favorite summer boozy drinks, and Olivia explains what your drink of choice means about you. If you're the type of person who likes Long Island Iced Teas, you're not going to be thrilled with your assessment. Blame the internet, not us! And finally, we wondering if we're too old for certain things around the house -- plastic plates and cups, extensive DVD collections, and LoveSacs.
