Ep 12: and THAT’s the ICK. 🤢
from and THAT's a pod convo · host John Jacob
You know the feeling. Everything is going great, the attraction is there, and then they do one tiny thing and suddenly… you can never look at them the same way again.But what actually IS an ick? And more importantly, when did we start confusing icks with actual red flags?This week, Jed and John Jacob dive into the wonderfully irrational world of the ick: where they come from, whether they're actually trying to tell us something, and if it's possible to bounce back once you've gotten one. We tackle some of the Group Chat's icks—including, apparently, butt crack—which somehow isn't an ick for Jed. Do with that information what you will.But somewhere between judging everyone's completely harmless behaviors and questioning our own, we stumble into something deeper: is there a point in a relationship where the things that once gave you the ick become part of intimacy? Is the opposite of the ick actually being comfortable enough to be completely ridiculous around someone?Ick + intimacy = Icktimacy?We don't know. We made it up.But now we have to talk about it.and THAT’s the Ick. 🤢Send us Fan Mail
