S1E10: Wet Socks & Uncomfortable Icks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What’s the one tiny thing that can ruin your whole day? We went hunting for the oddly specific icks that make us squirm, and the list got uncomfortably real. From the quiet dread of small talk to the sensory ambush of a wet sock or a damp sleeve, we unpack why certain moments feel so outsized—and why you can’t just shake them off with logic.
Our conversation threads through raw, funny, and painfully honest territory. We talk about the words that make your face twist, the zero-glam truth of childbirth, and how compliments can feel like a trap when your brain doesn’t know where to put praise. The rules we secretly live by make an appearance too: sleeves must be rolled before dinner, you don’t eat a “meal” in the dark, and theater food somehow doesn’t count. It’s ridiculous, but it’s also how some of us keep chaos in check.
Then the discomfort gets cinematic. Slasher gore? Fine. But a quick shiv at prison chow obliterates our composure. That tension becomes a theme: context can matter more than content. Confinement changes how our bodies read danger. Bugs in documentaries (and the hyper-detailed audio that lets you hear every rustle) push curiosity into revulsion. And yes, we hit the secondhand embarrassment greatest hits—family blowups you witness as a guest, first dates that go wildly off script, and the legendary shoebox story where privacy meets public humiliation.
You’ll laugh with us and maybe cringe a little at your own list. If you’ve ever felt irrationally overwhelmed by a small thing, you’re in good company here. Hit play, share your strangest ick with us, and if this episode made you feel seen, subscribe, rate, and leave a review—it helps more curious weirdos find the show.

SPEAKER_00:Moist. Stepping on something wet in your sock. Saying I love you to the person who said, Have a great day. Calling your teacher mom or dad. Shouting your own name during sex. Are you uncomfortable yet?
SPEAKER_01:I'm very uncomfortable. That's fantastic.
SPEAKER_00:Welcome back to another episode of the Silly Goose Society. Last time we spoke about our comfort things. Stuff that make it feel like home. A little bit of nostalgia, something that gives you that warm and fuzzy. Now, we're taking a pineapple and shoving it up your ass sideways. Let's get uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_01:Oh fuck, I'm very uncomfortable with the things that you just said.
SPEAKER_00:Thanks for coming to another episode of the Silly Goose Society. Have a great day. Click. That's that was literally what we were saying. It's like, okay, do that one. Just start naming uncomfortable shit. Like that's the intro.
SPEAKER_01:Oh man. Yeah, welcome. Welcome to Welcome to Hell.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. So besides everything I just named. And I got a question.
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:What's some stuff that makes you uncomfortable?
SPEAKER_01:I mean, besides a group of people.
SPEAKER_00:Besides, besides, yes.
SPEAKER_01:Besides a group of people.
SPEAKER_00:What would you consider a group of people? And do you count yourself in the group or people that's not you? Okay. So like let's say Yeah. So if you consider a group of people four people, it could be you and three people and you're fine. But as soon as there's a fourth person that isn't you, you're like, let me get the fuck out of here. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's it's the pains of being um an introvert. Like being in a group of people, like drain me. And I I think sometimes like nonsensical small talk makes me uncomfortable. Like I don't want to sit and talk for 15 minutes about the weather. The weather or the fact that you had trouble getting your oil changed. Like, I don't give a fuck.
SPEAKER_00:Literally everyone. Literally everybody. Everyone can see it's fucking raining, Daryl.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, I just I just don't like crowds. I guess it maybe not a group of people, but crowds. I don't like crowds. Um, yeah, that makes me really uncomfortable. Um, but like things outside of people, um I had to I had to laugh when you said like touching like your when your sock gets wet.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah. Like just like just and it's not even like the whole sock, because like if you step in a putt, like if you're not paying attention, your foot goes like that puddle's deeper than you thought, and your whole foot is saturated. That's a different thing. When just like a spot the size of a quarter, or you know, maybe a little bit bigger, maybe about a half dollar anywhere on your foot, like just that part is what? Oh, dude, there goes the whole fuck, there goes the whole fucking day. I swear to God.
SPEAKER_01:And it and it makes like and it could be like you know, part of an ice chip that fell out of the you know, refrigerator thingy. And you go in the kitchen and you step on it, and like you're just like, what was in the floor? What is on my foot now?
SPEAKER_00:Like what what everything's just water, it's always like piss or a right nowhere where urine should be, but you're just like, I just stepped in hot piss in the middle of my kitchen where I have never been, where I haven't been in 12 hours. This is the first time I'm stepping into it. I stepped on hot piss, even though I clearly stepped on something cold. Like that's just immediate. Your brain just goes, fucking horse case, not ah, water.
SPEAKER_01:And it's just always like, what the fuck? Like it's just an immediate like, what the fuck was that? Yeah, and then angry too. Yeah, yeah. Oh, god, yeah. No, that's terrible. Um things, and I swear, like, and I have done this before. Like I'm hanging up with somebody on on the phone, and like you said, like I a million things running through my mind, and I'll be like, Bye, I love you. And I'm like, no.
SPEAKER_02:Sorry, boss, click.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you're like, you're my coworker. I do not love you.
SPEAKER_00:I barely tolerate you. I barely tolerate you. I ignore you a little less than everybody else. I do not love you.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. There's just so many things that I think we do. It just it's it's just awkward and uncomfortable. Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Uh yeah, like, yeah, no, just and I know I started off with the word moist because that's just like throughout, you know, that's like the thing. That's like the thing.
SPEAKER_01:That's it.
SPEAKER_00:It's like a thing. No one likes that word. Honestly, I couldn't give a fuck about that word. Like it's just a word. I will say this though. God, okay. The word placenta. Oh. Exactly. I just, oh god, even saying it, I just I just made the ick face. Remember that episode of SpongeBob? Where like King forgets shit and he tries Gary's food and he makes that big. Yeah. That that's literally how I feel with that word.
SPEAKER_01:Well, a placenta in itself is gross.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I know. I know. That was funny, funny little story about this one, though. Apparently, my mother works with a lady who also feels the same way, just absolutely despises that word. My mom works at like a uh assisted living community kind of thing.
SPEAKER_02:Uh-huh.
SPEAKER_00:And she she works in the uh she works in in the uh in the kitchen. She's one of the uh the chefs that cooks there. And um you know, they have like an actual restaurant, they have like like a like a like a calf area where people can like where like the residents can come down and actually sit and eat there and whatnot. So, you know, they have you know they have like a wait staff, and the person who can't stand that word is um one of the waitresses. And so I guess on the menu one day was uh whatever the hell it was, and the side was polenta.
SPEAKER_01:Oh god.
SPEAKER_00:And so my mother, uh just because they now as like as the woman is like walking out of thing, my mom is just like saying the way she told the story, she was like um one of the hyenas from um Vine Pink. She was just like placenta, placenta, placenta, placenta. Like that lady with the camera. She's like, oh no, my god, mare, mare, ah, she goes walking out, and apparently she goes out and she goes to tell the special to this lovely old couple that goes, Oh yeah, blah, blah, blah, with creamy placenta. She said she immediately stopped, turned around, and ran to the kitchen and she goes, kicks the door up and goes, Fuck you, mare, or something like that starts flipping out of my mouth. Like jokingly, but like, man. Damn it, you know what the fuck I just said to that couple. She told me that. I was like, oh my god, that's terrible, but that's fucking great. But yeah, that word.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. You know what? I own the likey. Also, so she the thing associated with that word that makes me really uncomfortable. And I know that there's like scientific reasons behind it, and there does all of this good stuff, but it makes me all icky inside when I hear of women who like process it.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, just stop. Yep, just eat it. Just stop. Stop.
SPEAKER_01:You know, like freeze dry it, encapsulize it, and like no. See, you wanted you wanted to get uncomfortable. Yeah, listen to it. We're fucking getting uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_00:Listen, no, I'm not I'm literally skinning myself alive. This is between uncomfortable and like flaying myself, okay? And I'm I'm halfway up my arm already. Like, it's just not good. Oh god, it's just the fucking worst. I I'm gonna be so honest right now. Listen. Childbirth and just life in general, genuine life in general is one of the most insane and miraculous things, like in just it, I can't sit and think about it because my I literally spiral out of control and I look like a psychopath, like thinking of like how life is. How do two things that are so microscopic you can't see turn into human? Turn into life. How does that ever the oh there's the spark and all of a sudden the brain is going in the heart? All of that, and it just goes the human body is unfucking believable, and the woman body that can create a human body is doubly unbelievable. Yes, but the actual like day of like the process and also I know I'm like the worst person to be like talking about this because I'm just like a stupid guy. There's not like a whole lot of glamour and like pretty too.
SPEAKER_01:Oh no, no.
SPEAKER_00:It's arguably one of the most horrendous diabolical things you can like oh my god. So just uh and we're not gonna start swapping birth stories and shit and whatnot. I'm just saying, like everything is like done there, and there's the you know, there's the the the the doctor lady that helped deliver our daughter. She's there and she goes, Oh yeah, no, there's the this and there's the that, and she literally just like holds it up, and I'm just like I'm sitting there, I'm like, brother, I've done, I know I've seen some shit and I've done some shit in my life. I'm seeing her fuck with the I I used to call it the Sacco Life. Yeah. She's like fucking like, oh look at this, and blah blah blah. And I'm like, lady, I swear to fucking god. Ew. Like, it's just, oh god. There's zero, there's negative glamour in the actual did you um of it.
SPEAKER_01:Did you cut the cord?
SPEAKER_00:I did.
SPEAKER_01:Isn't it rubbery? You don't expect it to be that rubbery.
SPEAKER_00:Uh yeah, it was weird. That was weird. I'm not gonna lie. That was weird. I was uncomfortable too. So that was nothing that made me uncomfortable. It was actually like cutting. I stayed on the north side of the sheet. I no way, shape, or honestly, not because, once again, there's nothing glorious kind of happening, um, except the most glorious thing in the world.
SPEAKER_01:Um yeah, but that glory is met through.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, you earn the glory. Exactly. It's a war zone, it's an entire war zone. It is ground zero. It's ground zero right there. It is rounds zero through fourteen, bare minimum.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's that's that but also it is so weird.
SPEAKER_00:I I'd feel I would feel wrong seeing our child before my wife because she put all of that work in. Right? I'm so I'm so serious. I I am so serious. I feel wrong. Like, I get to see the baby before you do. What are you you know, all you've done the past nine months is literally fucking grow it while you're loving, and now all you're doing is passing a screaming watermelon out of your vagina, and I'm just sitting here with like the foam finger, go baby, go, go, baby. Like, no, I did fuck all. I don't get to see the baby before you. Absolutely not. Bare minimum at the same time.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I bare minimum at the same time. I I wish that other people had that sentiment when when I gave birth because um one, it was my parents were in the delivery room with me. And again, they had everything tinted and sh, you know, so they were at, you know, the north end. And um, so anyway, they uh they took her over to the warming table, and I didn't get to see her. All I could see were the back sides of my parents sobbing uncontrollably, and I'm like, what? It like is I'm thinking, you know, worst case scenario. Like, I'm hearing her cry, you know, like I know that, but they're like uncontrollably sobbing, and it was probably I want to say like five minutes before I could even get to see her for the first time.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, that that's that's nuts. That's nuts.
SPEAKER_01:That made me really uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_00:Like, don't get me wrong. Like I said, don't get me wrong. If being a father is the only thing I'm allowed to do the rest of my life, call me the happiest person in the world. It they they ain't a whole lot of breeding.
SPEAKER_01:You fucking earn the glory of parenthood. It's it's it's earned, yeah. Um, all right. Well, here's just to change gears. Yeah. Oh here's one thing I oh, it makes my skin crawl. Um when somebody is like eating with a s with a I've started to say a spork, a fork or a spoon, uh-huh, and they drag it across their teeth.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, that doesn't make me uncomfortable. It doesn't make me uncomfortable, it enrages me, and I want to take the fork and shove it up their fucking nose. It enrages me. Like someone chewing with their like someone just if I hear you chewing, no, I have killed you 77 times in my head with 43 different things in the room.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it's it's yeah. See, Maddie's like, Maddie's, oh God, she cannot stand somebody to hear somebody chew. Um, but oddly, every now and then she will do that. She will like rake the fork across her teeth. And I just I might like that like slightly.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. And I'm just like, I brought you into this world, I will take you out. No, I it's weird. Sounds like that really make me uncomfortable. Here's another thing. If I'm doing dishes and I touch like food in the dishwater water.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah, like the like the the last bit of like the bread that they didn't eat or whatever. Yeah, and it falls into the water. Yeah. I just want to implode. I want to crack. Nope. Oh my god, it's the fucking worst. Oh god, just what else makes you uncomfortable? Uh, what's it called? We uh we lightly touched on the subject last night, actually, when we were chit-chatting. Um compliments. Oh, yeah. No, I don't I don't I I don't want to get like too deep on this one. We're not gonna have a therapy session kind of fun stuff, but like compliments. Don't compliment me. I suck. Stop. Just I don't know what to do when someone goes, like, oh wow, that's so you know, that's so nice. Oh my god, this is like so amazing. I would just I feel like I come off like a toos bag because you know, just like, you know, yeah, thanks. More or less it's like, yeah, thanks. Like, I feel like it comes off as the tone like duh. I know it doesn't, and I I clearly don't mean that. Like, honestly, like I had a great time going to the fucking craft shows, but I hated it like so much. I was so uncomfortable because everyone was like complimenting and like saying how much they loved my work, and I'm like, no, it sucks, you're lying to me. Stop.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, fuck off.
SPEAKER_00:Like, it was it was the word, it was my own actual hell. I swear to God.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I mean, and I get that, like compliments, they they do make me uncomfortable. One thing I've learned is just to be like, oh, thank you, and then that's it. Like, I it I'm dying inside, but I've learned to just be like, thank you, I appreciate that, you know.
SPEAKER_02:Like, I just oh man.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. It's but I think it makes you way more uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, it's I my I am absolutely panicking. I'm I'm physically not okay. When someone gives me like, you know, that's you know, not just like, oh thanks, you know, for like all this, that's not a compliment. Like if someone is genuinely like, oh my god, like this, and like, and now I'm fucking starting this leather business, and I'm you know, yeah, I'm I'm very proud of my work. I I do a good job. I can say that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Slightly okay. Um like I I can see that I do a decent job of it, but when people are going like, oh my god, I'm like, stop. It's not that nice. Calm the fuck down. Like, stop, just stop. It's not that nice. I'm trying to hype you up, man. Exactly. Motherfuckers, like, everyone's talking to me like they're fucking like I'm some fresh new beat that's gonna be bumping and shit like that, and they're Lil'John and or the East Side boys trying to be hype man of all hype manns. And I'm like, no, stop. It's just it is okay at best. Please stop. Do not like my stuff. Buy my stuff, but don't like my stuff. Oh, I hate it. It gen it genuinely. And every now I have this one friend who from time to time will get wildly intoxicated. Yeah. And she's the I love you friend. Oh, okay. Oh god, and she says the nicest, sweetest, and it's like, oh my god, stop. I'm literally a garbage human. Stop. And she's saying the most like amazingly profound shit. And like, yeah, we've been through some shit. So, like, you know, we weren't we're we're close. Yeah. So, you know, and she's she's bringing up like sentimental things, and she's also a bit of a writer and also other kind of fun. So she like eloquently paints these. I was just like, I literally just held your hair back when you were violently vomiting from drinking too much alcohol, and you're making it sound like I literally crawled through all of the levels of hell, Dante's Inferno style. And like, no.
SPEAKER_01:You were Andy Dufresne.
SPEAKER_00:Exactly.
SPEAKER_01:Like, exactly. I was just calling a mountain of shit to get out the other side.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. Like I'm Andy Dufrein, also the kind of bullshit. I'm literally Andy from Toy Story at best. Like, stop it. So compliments literally make my skin crawl. Like heartfelt emotional compliments make my fucking skin crawl.
SPEAKER_01:Here's one for you.
SPEAKER_00:Ah, fuck.
SPEAKER_01:Alright, so and it could be like at your house or anywhere else, but like you go in to the bathroom after somebody else has been in there.
SPEAKER_00:And the seat's warm.
SPEAKER_01:And the seat is warm. Yeah. Nope. No, thank you. Oh god, no. If it's oh yeah, that's just Oh, thank you.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I'm not even gonna elaborate. There's nothing to elaborate on that one. It is just because you know exactly what's happening in my head. You sit down, it's a it's a warm seat, and things like it's just you, and even if you don't know who it was, you just envisioned one random person there. And you're just it's requiem for a dream. You're just ass to ass just standing there. Yes. Just bent over in your glory, ass to ass, cheek in cheek. Just hi, how are you?
SPEAKER_01:There needs to be a literally a cooling off period.
SPEAKER_00:Secret time?
SPEAKER_01:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, so like if I'm at like, like you said, even if it's at people like you know, it's not like uh you know, your your in-laws, your parents, whatever the hell doesn't matter. It's all people you know. Because first off, if you're just sitting on public toilets, ew.
SPEAKER_01:Right. You gotta hover on those.
SPEAKER_00:Yo, yeah, you gotta absolutely you gotta houdin them up. Like you just gotta like zen, hover that show.
SPEAKER_01:But or learn the the toilet paper, you know, how to how to line it with toilet paper.
SPEAKER_00:There is no amount of ply in the world that will make me sit down on a fucking truck stop bathroom.
SPEAKER_01:No, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_00:No, no. You mean to tell me that you they I could put I could use three rolls of toilet paper, I'm still not putting full pressure sitting down at a fucking waffle house. I'm just not.
SPEAKER_01:No. But I think I think I think I would feel very comfortable like at a in a Bucky's bathroom.
SPEAKER_00:Well, because apparently they're fucking claiming to fame as having the cleanest bathrooms. I'd probably feel safer in a Bucky's bathroom than my own bathroom. Yeah. I'm gonna be honest, like I thought that was so fucking funny to me. I'm not going down the rabbit hole of Bucky's, I'm just saying. Um when I'm at, even like so, even if it's somewhere that like I'm comfortable, whatever the hell it is, and I just know it's like, nope, I cannot wait. I I can't give that little grace cooldown period, and I know it's gonna be it. I will like truck stop use the bathroom if I have to, if I if I have to sit in the butt. I will literally just kind of hover. There I am, just hovering. How's it going? Hi, how are you? Pain no mind. Exactly.
unknown:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:What about um oh this is one I cannot stand. Like if I'm have long sleeves and I'm washing my hands and like the bottom, like the bottom of the sleeve like gets wet. It's like it's it's right up there with your sock getting wet.
SPEAKER_00:I was I swear to god, that's exactly what I was gonna say. It was like it it gives me the same uncomfortability as the wet sock. It's like or when like the edge of it just gets like the edge of like the bottom of the sleeve just kind of gets wet to the side.
SPEAKER_01:Just the edge, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:That's why I always have my sleeves rolled up. Literally, yeah, absolute always my sleeves are rolled up whenever they possibly can. Yeah. Just nope. Nope. I also can't. This was okay, maybe we'll fuck it, guys. I don't know what it is. I'm not comfortable, but I can't eat with like long sleeves. Just can't do it. Can't can't eat with long sleeves. Um I can't have like a meal with the lights off.
SPEAKER_01:Who the fuck does that?
SPEAKER_00:Well, like let's say you're like what let's say you're you're you're um you're just like watching TV, right? You're not like, oh, let me eat like I gotta eat in the dark or something like that. Let's say you're just like watching TV, you're like, oh, it's dinner time, you go and you make yourself something to eat wherever the fuck is. Yeah. If you like box mac and cheese where the fuck is, and you're just having like a like a movie deck and it's time to eat dinner, and you just have the lights off, you don't give a shit, you just leave the lights off, things like that one. If I've literally done it where it's like, okay, exactly that. I have like a bowl of mac and cheese, but my brain is like, okay, this is dinner. I have to turn a light on, eat my meal, and then turn it off. Now, if I'm ha now, let's say I didn't finish that, I make myself a bowl of mac and cheese for like X amount of hours later, and in my head, I was like, this is not a meal, this is a snack because I was hungry, I can leave the lights off.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, okay. Got it.
SPEAKER_00:That's that probably should be in my weird food OCD episode that we're gonna do eventually at some point. But I will, I the only reason why I say it is because I am uncomfortable if I have the lights like off and I'm eating a meal. I am very like grossed out, I'm anxious, I feel completely weird. So you So not grossed out, I am I am way off.
SPEAKER_01:I'm not so you probably wouldn't enjoy going to one of those um theaters that you watch a movie and eat a meal because it's very dimly lit. Do you know what I'm talking about?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so it's like like dinner theater kind of shit.
SPEAKER_01:No, it's like you go watch a movie.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, it's in the movie theater?
SPEAKER_01:Like a movie theater, and you're eating a meal while you're watching a movie.
SPEAKER_00:No, because I consider those as like snacks because I'm not like actually eating. Oh, I've had full blown. So we talked about not so long ago in our in our little chat that we have. They had a fucking Nathan's at the movie theater for like a whole bunch of years when I was growing up. I would get fucking like three chili dogs, air fries, and I am tearing that shit up. We have brought full-blown, full Subway sandwiches in. Um, Lorne's work at a restaurant, and uh she she yeah, she worked in the uh back of the house at a restaurant back home, and we were going to some movie, whatever. We were going to a later movie, she was coming right from work. She brought full containers of mac and cheese that she made there, like full ass portions. She one for herself, one for me, one for my best friend. We're just sitting there. Oh, dude, I will fuck up so much food. I'll eat for three hours straight. But that's still in my head because it's not a meal. It's still a snack at the movies, and you don't eat dinner at the movies, you eat dinner, and then you go to the movies, and snack it.
SPEAKER_01:It's interesting.
SPEAKER_00:I swear to God, it's I'm telling you we can do an entire episode just on my food OCDs. I have insanely weird food fucking.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, that's a people say that's an interesting little factoid about you.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. I think about so many of them and half of the little food things. I had to say the light thing because I am genuinely uncomfortable. It's so weird. Yeah. Makes no sense to me. Yeah. Here's one that this is this is another one. Genuinely makes no fucking sense to me at all whatsoever. Something that makes me.
SPEAKER_01:Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before you say it, does it does it not make sense to you why it makes you uncomfortable, or does it not make sense to you whatever if it's somebody doing something? It doesn't make sense to you.
SPEAKER_00:It doesn't what is the fact that the same exact thing in a different scenario couldn't give a fuck. In a very specific scenario, I am so uncomfortable. I am not okay.
SPEAKER_01:Continue.
SPEAKER_00:Prison violence.
SPEAKER_01:What? What?
SPEAKER_00:Like let me explain. Prison violence. I swear to God. I swear to fucking god. Okay, so if I'm like watching, once again, I've done seen some shit, I've done some shit in my life. I violence in movies and shows and games and all sorts of that. Gore and whatever. Could could not care. Could not give any kind of a writ. I can watch some slasher flick and there's Michael Myers or Jason or whoever the hell it is, and they're just going to town, they stab someone 77 fucking times to where they've practically decapitated the person, right? And it's just a fucking nightmare, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:If there's a guy sitting at chow time in prison and he just gets pop capped twice in the neck, like he just gets shived in the neck, just in passing, I am like on the floor bent over in like nausea and uncomfortability.
unknown:Really.
SPEAKER_00:Absolutely. I can see someone get absolutely, you know, same thing in a movie or in a video game, just completely bludgeoned and beaten and like what uh the most horrendous beating you've ever seen. You just put them in jumpsuits and in prison, and I am not okay. And it doesn't have to be to the same level. So it's so weird.
SPEAKER_01:It's just prison. So it's not like you're watching a mob movie and people are sitting down in, you know, the quintessential Italian restaurant and somebody walks in, goes to the bathroom, gets the gun, comes out, and pops somebody in the back of the head. That doesn't make you uncomfortable. But if that same scenario happened in prison, in a prison setting, that would make you uncomfortable.
SPEAKER_00:I'd be so uncomfortable. And then I think I was talking to someone about this one time, and they were like, I think I was talking to my fucking therapist.
SPEAKER_01:I was gonna say, have you talked to your therapist?
SPEAKER_00:I've talked to my therapist about this one time. And so she was like, is it like the whole, is it like the the how the like the trapped or hopeless? I forgot the way she word, but more or less like because they're in this house. So no, even if it's like the prison yard and like wide open spaces, like, and like at any point they could have just like ran off the chain gang or whatever the fuck it is, or it doesn't have to be. I mean, yeah, obviously if it happens in like the confined space, that's definitely a big no-no. But even that, like other movies I've seen like all the song movies with the people in the confined spaces and getting completely tortured and shit. Couldn't give a rip. I don't give a fuck. Uh, I'm telling you, something about it. Literally, I get the ick so fucking hard. Huh. And I say, and it doesn't have to be like super brutal and over the top. It could literally just be someone getting the shit kicked out of them. Just two motherfuckers just slugging it out. And I am not okay if there's like a scene that's in a prison.
SPEAKER_01:So you probably don't watch those docuseries, you know, about prisons. Some of them I do.
SPEAKER_00:Because most of them they don't actually like some of them they don't actually show the violence. They can talk about the violence all this way. If it's like seeing it, you know what I mean? It's just seeing it, huh? I I have no clue what and here's the other thing, too. This is how I know it's a very weird, deep-rooted thing with prison. Even the movie The Rock, I was I could barely get through.
SPEAKER_01:Huh.
SPEAKER_00:For those of you who don't know, The Rock is just like a military action film that takes place on Alcatraz. And so there's like shootouts and shit happening in prison. I am not the only time I saw violence in a prison setting was extraction two because I think I was way too turned on to be scared. That is like one of the best like fight battle sequences I think I've ever seen. It's so fucking awesome.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:But I I swear to God, that is the for I don't know what it is. I need to study that scene more and more. That is the only, and just that scene, the other part, when he's breaking the people out of prison, any type of bath, I'm not okay. I'm not okay. So, like when he fought the dude in the boiler room, I was not okay. As he's just like pop popping a couple people here and there running through the halls, I was not okay. The entire riot in the courtyard, I was screaming and stiff as a fucking board. As soon as that scene was over, I was absolutely sheet. No sense. No sense.
SPEAKER_01:Wow.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I it I I yep, can't I makes no, no sense whatsoever.
SPEAKER_01:Suddenly I feel less and less neurotic after this conversation.
SPEAKER_00:I'm telling you, we do the food OCD things, and you're gonna be like, oh my god. I need to I I any I need to see less therapists and I need to give them to him. And there's there's one other scene that makes me very, very uncomfortable in movies. Um you've seen Casino, right?
SPEAKER_01:Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, cool. Spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't seen it. When they whack Joe Pasci. When they whack him and his brother, literally whack them, and they beat them to death with bats, beat them to their lives with bats and then bury them. I am so uncomfortable in that scene. I am that's a rough scene. Oh, I get literally nauseous. But same thing. I've seen other I've seen the movie fucking Event Horizon, didn't even flinch. Yeah. Couldn't flinch. All sorts of other atrocities. Hostile, didn't even nothing. All the sauce, nothing. Joe Apeci getting whacked by all those old fucks.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Turned literally turns my stomach. I have to cover my eyes. I'm I swear to god, I'm not okay. Wow. Yeah. Makes no sense.
SPEAKER_01:You're a psychological wonderment.
SPEAKER_00:That's one way of putting it. I don't think I've ever been called the word psychological and then the word wonderment afterwards. So, hey.
SPEAKER_01:Thanks. It's a compliment, no.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. But it was a weird backhanded one. So that's why I was uncomfortable about it.
SPEAKER_01:There we go. That made me. No, there you go. There you go.
SPEAKER_00:There you go with it.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah. Um yeah, suddenly I feel like all of my things that make me uncomfortable are widely, wildly, wildly, if I can say it, uh inept after that.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. I was like, wow, I'm completely sane, no matter how stupid it may seem. I'm completely normal. This fucking guy, on the other hand.
SPEAKER_01:Normal. Wow. So happy for me.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, okay. Do you have anything else that makes you this? I got another one.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, go ahead. I'm trying to think of like.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, mine are just so like they're not like animals or creatures or critters or anything like that that just like I'm not talking about like ones that you're afraid of, because fear and uncomfortability is a little bit. So like you've people who are afraid of spiders or are afraid of snakes or shit like that. I was like, you know, fear doesn't count as uncomfortable. Fear is a fear.
SPEAKER_01:That like skeeve you out.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, you're just like, really hurt me.
SPEAKER_01:I'm sure there probably are. Like anything that's slimy, like I don't like to touch fish.
SPEAKER_00:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Like like I love to go fishing, right? I love to go fishing.
SPEAKER_00:But you take you put the worm on the hook and you can fucking you can take the fish off the hook. Thank you very much. And I'm just gonna keep I'm gonna keep on keeping on.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, like I can I can I don't like I don't like worms either. So yeah, no. I I uh I so I use other bait, right? I I and I don't I've put worms on hooks uh before. I just but like touching a fish out of the water, like it's like uh I mean I've done it, I you know I've had to do it because I'm not gonna leave a fish on a hook. Yeah, but I mmm no thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anything that um yeah, and then after I'm fishing, I have to put like I have to make sure everything is like in the trunk because I don't want it touching like I perceive like anything that it touches, it it's not dirty.
SPEAKER_00:It's just gross, like it is contaminated, it is contaminated, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And we're weird about stuff. Foreign contaminant, yeah, like all of a sudden becoming contaminated, and it's all in my head. But yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Uh for me, it has got to be um bugs on documentaries. I also just there's other ones that like I just I can't like the fuck, those really those hairy caterpillar sons of bitches, those things can fuck off. I hate those fuckers. Those things make me ask me. Millipedes, centipedes, they can all the gross ones that you find in like the wet parts of the wood, they can fuck off. Like if you like move a log when after it's about like rain, it's all misty and like moist out and shit like that when you move a log, and all the centipedes and millipedes and everything goes scattering like that, or the little rolly polys, they go fucking rolling out of there and that shit.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:All those things can go all the way to fucking hell. Fucking earwigs, little pincher bugs, they can fuck off. Mm-hmm. I I don't like bugs. They don't like skeeve me out, or I'm scared of them, or like make me uncomfortable in the kind of fun stuff. But whenever you're watching like a documentary, you know, you're watching like Planet Earth and there's David Attenborough, he goes like, and then the floth, the sand, and blah blah blah blah blah. Fucking shit, right? They inevitably, on like the fucking rainforest episodes or the wood episodes, he goes like, eh, look at this gross 7,000 fucking legged piece of shit over here. And they get like the fucking closest shot of a fucking millipene. Sound where you can see this thing's fucking taint in its eyes. That's how close they get to this fucker, right? And it's the little of the fucking legs and shit. I was like, how are they getting this? You know what? I don't need to know how they're getting- I just I would be more comfortable if it's just like dude, if you told me it was Michael Winslow in a fucking booth with microphones, I'd be okay with that. But my brain is like there's some fucking asshole who just like threw a microphone and got the fucking clicking and the I oh my god, I hate it. I want to break my fucking TV and my neck whenever I see as soon as I see a bug on a f on the fucking screen of any documentary, I I get enraged and uncomfortable. I get enraged. And if I what if I because you know, we'll watch documents with them, but if I'm watching a documentary with her, I can't just skip and watch it because it doesn't bother her, and I'm like, and then I'm uncomfortable. Then I'm just sitting there like dude, I I fucking hate it. I'm so uncomfortable with bugs and documentaries.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. No, I totally get it though, because like, yeah, yeah, they get the the camera is so up in their business.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, like I get why you can see an ant genitals. They get so fucking close to these goddamn things. I can hear them fuck. That's how good the fucking microphones are. They're the worst.
SPEAKER_01:There is one of I I just have this scene playing in my head. It's a um, it's like the one of These millipedes in the rainforest and these lemurs, like nothing else will fuck with this millipede or whatever it is. But these but lemurs will um will bite them and like chew on them because they get like a psychedelic high from them. But I just just fucking love lemurs. I know. But it was just yeah, like it's it's such a close-up of of these, you know, millipedes, and they're so like look like from outer space and it's so creepy. And then you just hear the gnawing and chewing sounds from from the lemur. And I'm like, where the fuck is that microphone? Like, how? How are they getting these sounds? Yeah, it's but yeah, and then they drop, you know, the and it shows like the millipede like dropping onto the you know the jungle floor, and you can hear the sound and the rustling of the leaves, and then you know the lemurs, like you know, like yeah, that's just rough, man.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, homie don't homie don't play that shit, man. Fucking lemurs, man. Anyhow, oh, hanging out at your friend's house, and he starts getting absolutely obliterated by like his mother, and you're just sitting there watching him take a door. Yes, yes. Oh god, it's so awkward. It's funny as company, you're like, yikes!
SPEAKER_01:But yeah, like like being in the like you're an you're an you're an interloper in the middle of somebody else's family drama. Like fucking uncomfortableness of that.
SPEAKER_00:Dude, that was like my that was like my entire like run in high school of relationships because like I had a type, um, and it was women in broken families. Sorry to God. I was like, hey baby, how's it going? Oh my god, hi because hey, tip quick question, you guys. Yeah, your parents together? Yeah, happily. Bye. Next yeah. And I was just like, I mean, they hate each other, and I call my parents by their first names. Hey, how's it going? How you doing? Like, that's it was like, I haven't seen my dad in like seven months. Hey, what's up? What are you doing later? Like that, right? And so there's always just like some shit. Like, there's always just like some shit going out at like their houses, and I was just like, fucking what? Oh man, like yeah, same thing. It was just like, it was so awkward to like we're we're just like sitting there like watching a movie, like in the living room, and then like the parents start fucking fighting in the other room, like in the kitchen, they're screaming at each other, and I'm like, this is awkward as fuck. This is the worst.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, I'll tell you about this. This was an uncomfortable moment. Um semi-related, but not really. So there was a year, oh, it's it's been ages ago. Um many moons ago, so yeah, many, many moons ago. Picture it.
SPEAKER_00:Um Sicily 2012.
unknown:Right.
SPEAKER_01:So, okay, there was this guy, and he, you know, back and forth, flirtatious, whatever. And then, like out of the blue, he's like, Okay, I I would like to invite you on a date. And I'm like, okay, and then the date was at his family's house on Christmas having dinner, and they had no clue he was bringing a date to the dinner. And to open it and and they're exchanging gifts. Oh, that's horrible. I was sitting there like one, I had no clue that I was going to somebody's family's home. I thought, like, he came and picked me up. I thought we'd go to a restaurant or something. And it wasn't like on Christmas, but it was like their Christmas when it, you know, their family could get together and they're gonna be able to do it.
SPEAKER_00:Because they can do it on Christmas or whatever the fuck, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:And so like we're rolling up to like, and he's like, hey, surprise, this is what we're doing. I'm like, so this is our first date. I'm meeting your mother and all of your family, and they have no idea that I'm here. They've they have no idea who I am. You all are exchanging gifts. I don't have a gift for anyone. I'm pretty sure they didn't buy me a gift because they don't know I exist. Like, what is this? He's like, Oh, it's gonna be fine. So fucking uncomfortable and awkward.
SPEAKER_00:Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01:Never talk to him again. Never talk to him again after that.
SPEAKER_00:Like, that is what that is diapositive. I mean, that's that's that's funny. I would love to do that to somebody because that is horrible. But that is oh man, that's funny.
SPEAKER_01:And I really think he thought that it was like romantic or something, and I'm like, you're fucking insane. Like, get me get like I just had to sit through it because he had to take me home, right? Like, I just there was there was uh no inviting you in for coffee. There was none of that.
SPEAKER_00:Nope.
SPEAKER_01:You can drop me off. I will walk the last block to my house. Just drop me off.
SPEAKER_00:Hey, you want to go get a cup of cyanide uh coffee? Come on, Scott. Shut the fuck out. Yeah, fuck that. Oh god, that's horrible.
SPEAKER_01:God, there are oh, the real quick, another one more uncomfortable. I've had several uncomfortable dates, but another uncomfortable date that I went on is uh so this guy, he's he is like invites me and then says, I'm gonna take you to the races, okay? And where we live, we have like I'm in a panhandle against you know two other states. So we have horse racing, we have dog racing, we have all kinds of like racing, right? That when you say I'm taking you to the races, that it could possibly be, right? Right? Do you would you agree that your mind might go to like I just I'm not agreeing or disagreeing?
SPEAKER_00:All I'm saying is I cannot wait to take here what was being erased.
SPEAKER_01:So I go and I'm thinking he, you know, like the there's like a really nice casino racetrack, you know, and I think that's where we're we're going. And I go and I dress appropriately for that venue, right?
SPEAKER_00:I'm dressed in a sundress and the big hat, like we're going to the fucking Derby.
SPEAKER_01:Well, it yeah, I didn't have like but I was dressed nice for what for I was yeah, I was dressed like appropriately to go to a high-end casino to win racetrack.

SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. Um, we went to bum fuck Egypt out in the middle of the goddamn woods to a dirt racetrack of like beat up cars uh and um what are they like a like a smash derby, like where they run into each other. It was like a race and and sitting on metal bleachers in 90, 90 degree weather, and I'm dressed in all black. And it is dirty and dusty, and it is like everyone is in like jeans and t-shirts, and I'm sitting here like I'm ready to go have a five-course meal.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah, like uh shit. Like the uh was uh the feather lights. Was it the little like okay, so the cars that were doing it, were they like drifting around like the dirt track with like the giant spoilers on top of the car and all that kind of bullshit?
SPEAKER_01:It was just like somebody had like a 1985 Camaro that they have spray painted and they're racing it around a track. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, yeah, I know what you're doing. That's not where I thought this was going, if I'm being completely honest. I thought it was like, oh, I'm dressed like this. Don't get me wrong, yeah, that's still pretty uncomfortable, and you weren't given the proper information, so and so forth. But you said that one, and I was expecting it to be I I I literally don't know, was gonna be like chickens, like chickens or something like that, like you take chicken racing, like his backyard, and it's just like a bunch of chickens running around in a track or like pin racing, like pot belly racing or some shit like that. Like I was expecting it to be like, yeah, you're dressed like nice, but like, and he was taking you to like the fucking sticks of like county.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it was. It was like redneck heaven, and I'm like, Oh yeah, I mean, I'm like, I know I'm from West Virginia, but I'm not redneck material, like no, thank you.
SPEAKER_00:I just not in-cause there's southern and redneck.
SPEAKER_01:I am right, right, and I can remember like there was like a like a vendor guy that was going around um selling snow cones, and I'm sweating. I am like I am not made for the heat. I like like the humidity, like my hair is doing all kinds of I'm sweating, I'm just like, no. I had to flag the guy down and buy my own like uh like little icy thing, uh snow cone. And he was just like totally oblivious. Plop me down in the middle of a bunch of his redneck friends, and like it oh, it was a horrible date, horrible uncomfortable. Yikes, yeah. Anyway, I rambled about that. What else makes you uncomfortable?
SPEAKER_00:People rambling about shitty dates.
SPEAKER_01:I was waiting for it. I was waiting for it.
SPEAKER_00:No, I live, no, I literally live for that shit. I always said it was I love it to death, but I still have one of my best friends who goes, one of the saddest days of my life was when you finally find Mr. Wright and you stop dating because man, her fucking stories. Woo-hoo. I think to this day, one of my favorites is still what she says. She was getting a cup of coffee with this guy one time, and he's sitting there, and she's in the middle of telling some story about whatever it is. He reaches across the table, grabs her hand, puts it on his bicep, and flexes, and she just goes, um, and he's just oh, I thought you were staring at them and you wanted to feel. That's one of my favorites. I love that one. She's got a bunch of them. But yeah. Let's see. What else makes me uncomfortable? Let's see. There's a oh, yeah, this was a fun conversation. Um what makes what makes uh things that make me uncomfortable? I'll tell you a time it was made me uncomfortable. Um when my parents found out that I was sexually active as a young teen. That was fun. They were looking for something. They were not snooping through my shit. And under uh under my bed, I had a I had a shoebox where I kept like all the notes and cards and shit that we would like write each other because we were like we were like freshmen or sophomores or something. We started date yeah, we started dating the summer going into sophomore year. So I'm a fucking baby. I'm a baby. Um so I had this box that had all of these um, like I said, like the notes and cards and shit like that. That's you know, I signed the metaphorical boyfriend contract. Like as a boyfriend, I'm supposed to hold the door and buy this and blah, blah, blah you know, just gently diversity. Completely joking. Right? Okay, so mine was one page, hers was like three pages.
SPEAKER_01:Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00:But it was just like uh as a boyfriend, and it was just bullets. You know, it's like a list of stuff. Yeah, but anyway. And yeah, there was like cute shit on there. Hold my hand, you know, when we we we do these and say things like this, and just stupid puppy love, gushy bullshit.
SPEAKER_02:Right.
SPEAKER_00:But then randomly, like the middle of like one of the pages was like, look me in the eyes and say you love me when we're fucking, and like real like she was a dirty, oh she was a dirty bird. She put raunchy shit in there.
SPEAKER_02:Real.
unknown:Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Like there was so even now I'd be clutching my pearls. If like there's some of them that I remember she put that were like, Woo! Kylie would have said this woman needed Jesus. That's how bad some of the things, right? I swear to God, some of the things were bad. Nice. So my parents were looking for something, so my mother finds that, and she opens up this box and she's going, Oh, this is cute. This card, she wrote this for my son. She was like, she blah blah blah. Right? So this is this is how we were we went to like the movies or whatever the hell it was, or something like that. I came back, you know, her parents dropped me off, and I come in. There's my there's my parents sitting in the living room. The TV's not on, my parents in the living room. If that was the cue, buddy, run. My mom's sitting there, so she was just like, She goes, Come here, my son, sit down. And when she wants me to sit next to her, oh dude, it was bad.
SPEAKER_01:Oh man.
SPEAKER_00:So she's like, it's not good. How was your date? How was this? How I was like, all right, guys, can we just like cut the foreplay and like let's just fucking get to this? Jesus Christ, right? And so my mom just goes, go ahead. And so my dad reaches on like a side of the couch and he pulls up the shoebox, and I immediately it was just like fuck. Like, I just because I knew it was in there because I found it and went through it. And I'm like, I know it's not just cute shit that's in there. Oh man. Yeah, and so then my mom takes her, like, oh yeah. She goes, I was looking for whatever the fuck it was. I was looking for this, and I went under your bed and looked for blah blah blah and all this other shit. And she's like, and I found this, and I'm just sitting there and I just I got nothing to say. She goes before we get too into this. I want to explain I'm sorry, I wasn't going through your stuff, I wasn't snooping. Um I think she genuinely felt bad that she went through the box.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Um now she's going through the fucking box, like grabbing cards and like shit out. Oh my god, this is like this one was really cute. She says this, and oh my god. And then my dad's like fake vomiting, like up like the really gooey shit. My mother goes, and then this, and she's holding up the fucking envelope that I know has that contract in it. Yeah. Oh my god. And then just my mother reciting the absolute filth.
SPEAKER_01:Oh no. No, she read it out loud.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, yes. My mother read out loud the things that my girlfriend had to make you so uncomfortable. Like it's I literally, that is as far back as I can remember, that is the very first time I wished I died. Like not because I was in trouble, but because I don't need to hear my mother use the phrases because she, like I said, she's reading it from her point of view. She wrote it from like a first-person point of view, my girlfriend. I just don't need to hear my mother say the phrases, um, rearrange my guts, and blow my back out.
SPEAKER_01:And like it's one thing to know that she read it, but then to have your mother read it out loud. Oh, yeah. That's a that's a special level of hell.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, yeah. That's it's a very particular level of hell. So yeah, my mother reading those. It seems like she like read the cute ones first, and then she read every single one of them. All the horrible. Not all of them, just the horrible.
SPEAKER_01:I bet you that made it made it sh like shrivel up and crawl back inside of you.
SPEAKER_00:No, I just I just wanted to just I just wanted to die. I just wanted to absolutely oh god, it was horrible.
SPEAKER_01:I think I think that takes the cake of the most uncomfortable thing. Of all the uncomfortables, that's the most uncomfortable. You win. Hands down.
SPEAKER_00:Not necessarily something I wanted to win, but I mean, I guess. I guess I'll take that fucking title. That was uh yeah, that was that was that was pretty rough. That one was pretty rough. God, that was fucking gross. I feel disgusting, sad, a little violated. I think I'm going to absolutely just I'm I'm just gonna disappear into like a shower with like a Brillo pad and it's like the crying game. Sure. I just I yeah, no. I'm just gonna scrub. I'm not comfortable. I feel dirty. I I don't feel well. Um I hope we've done all the same uh to you. I hope you hope you enjoyed our pain and misery and stuff that causes us pain and misery. I swear to God, I'm gonna have nightmares tonight of my mother reading that fuck. Just I'm not even gonna talk about it anymore. I'm just gonna have nightmares of that night.
SPEAKER_01:News flash, we all are now.
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. Maybe never mind. I'm just gonna leave that one alone. I'm just gonna leave that one alone. Anywho, thanks for listening. Hope you enjoyed it. And if you didn't, go fuck yourself. And I hope your mother reads terrible, horrible things that your girlfriend and or significant other wrote about you to you.
