I Don't Get It

It's 2023 and we're back with lots of updates. Lauren checks in with her ongoing health saga. And Ashley and Lauren catch us up on a trip to Spencers and their revisit to the world of belly button piercings. Naz encourages everyone to stop saving their candles and special perfume for just the right time. Life is short. Light the damn candle. Naz talks about intention-setting and tries to narrow down the word she's going to use for 2023. This year Naz and Ashley are setting goals that are more lowkey while Lauren is aiming for something a little more take charge. Naz tells a great story about overcoming that inner voice that tells you you're just not doing enough.   Ashley reflects on the gift-giving season and the way that holidays are just so much more fun when you make it about the kids and stop worrying about trading gift cards back and forth with the adults in your life. Ashley has noticed that a lot of parents aren't telling their kids about Santa because they don't want to lie to their kids, and Lauren'

Ashley, Lauren, and Naz are back with a classic Ramble, and they're hitting all the I Don't Get It greats: movies, nostalgia, the Kardashian family, mental health, and all the best snack foods. Ashley tells us why her love for Titanic is keeping her from watching Avatar. What are your favorite holiday movies? Home Alone? The Santa Clause? Of course it wouldn't be a Ramble without some Kardashian discussion. How are you guys liking this season of The Kardashians?    The second half of this episode gets a little more serious as Lauren talks about a current health concern she's dealing with that's making it hard to think about anything else. Naz breaks out some more of that Peter Crone wisdom to help deal with the anxiety of the unknown.  And hey, they call it a "good cry" for a reason, don't they? Of course it wouldn't be an I Don't Get It without some snack talk. Are you guys as in love with Goldfish crackers as Lauren and Naz? Do you think there's a better snack out there? You can try to convince them, but y

Kendra Williams is a motherhood coach who specializes in conscious parenting and matrescence, the process of becoming a mother (think, "adolescence"). It's a term developed by Dr. Dana Raphael, the woman who also coined the term "doula." Kendra's here to talk with us about the transition into motherhood and why this core identity shift is so overlooked and misunderstood. Kendra shares some fascinating facts about motherhood (Mommy Brain is real), some frustrating facts about society's views of mothers (the maternal wall is the counterpart to the glass ceiling), and some ways to think about motherhood that can help moms feel less alone and better able to get back in touch with themselves.

This episode of I Don't Get It is not for the faint of heart. First, Ashley, Lauren, and Naz are asking the tough questions. Do you tell a friend when they have bad breath? What about if they're just stinky, in general? Everyone feels a little differently about it, so Lauren and Ashley call in for backup, and their dad weighs in with his opinion. Jared also drops in to talk about having this exact experience at work. Even after all of that, no one can quite agree: is it rude or are you just doing the right thing by telling someone when they're walking around little stink lines radiating off of them like a Charlie Brown character? In the second half of this episode, Lauren's I Don't Get It about cursive turns into a much more vulnerable discussion about love letters. Ashley even shares a super personal one she wrote years ago. It's honestly a real Taylor Swift moment. Go to https://storyworth.com/getit and save $10 on your first purchase! Get 15% off your first order at https://thrivecausemetics.com/getit Mor

It's a classic Ramble, so you know what that means, from what makes Kevin Richardson an elder woman's Backstreet Boy, to whether or not boobs are back in fashion, the I Don't Get It ladies are covering everything that's been on their minds this week. Naz and Ashley give their review of Baz Luhrmann's Elvis biopic, which leads to what may be the biggest I Don't Get It in I Don't Get It history–what's the deal with the word "colonel"? Lauren and Ashley reveal something they've recently discovered about their sleeping habits, and Naz tells us more about her incredible trip to Hawaii.  Ashley wants everyone to know how thankful she is for the response to last week's episode. All of the thoughtful messages from other moms really mean a lot.  This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

This week's I Don't Get It is a bit of a therapy session. Our girl Ashley came to the recording feeling overwhelmed about a few things, and instead of hiding that, she decided to share how she was feeling with Lauren, Naz, and all of you. It's a really raw, vulnerable episode with a lot of honest talk from a new mom. Lauren and Naz weigh in on some ways to slow down, breathe, and just focus on the here and now. Jared joins the ladies to share a bit of his perspective, too. Ashley is sharing real, relatable feelings that society tells new moms they should be ashamed of, and we're just not about that here at I Don't Get It. We're not gonna lie though, this one started out pretty intense, but it ended up being a really beautiful, cathartic conversation.

Taylor Swift has blessed us with a new album, so you know what that means! Taylor's biggest stan, and one of I Don't Get It listeners' favorite guests, Oscar Gracey is back. We're diving deep into Midnights, following all the hints, clues, and Easter eggs that may or may not reveal who or what every song is about: from Joe Alwyn to Joe Jonas, and everyone in between. We look at what Taylor might be saying about her changing relationship with the music industry, why her relationship with Harry Styles meant everything to Oscar, and what Ashley thinks all the sexy babies have to do with Bachelor in Paradise.

This episode starts with a little Halloween recap. Everyone was worried about people hiding drugs in our Skittles this year, but it turns out Skittles on their own are bad enough. Naz doesn't get why strangers want to touch you when you're in a public place, and Lauren wants you to stop saying your eyes change color because they just don't. The second half of this episode really has its ups and downs, as the I Don't Get It ladies get deep into all things elevators. Elevator etiquette, what makes elevators scary, what makes them sexy, and why cruise ship elevators are so nasty (hint: the dreaded cruise pocket). Of course, it wouldn't be I Don't Get It if there wasn't a ton of food talk. In our Google Moment of the Week (tm tm tm), Ashley doesn't get how meat stays safe in a can for so long. How does it last? If you had to get rid of one Thanksgiving dinner staple, what would it be? And why is a garden salad with Italian dressing so nostalgic? Lauren ends the episode with the sweetest childhood story about havi

Not only is this our 300th episode, but it's also Halloween, so we're celebrating both by inviting you on to share your scariest stories! Up first, we're joined by someone who has made herself an expert on what is probably the most infamous extreme haunted attraction in the world. It goes by the name McKamey Manor, but many refer to it as a torture house. Whatever you call it, it's not for the faint of heart. Then, we have two very spooky stories from two of our listeners. Tori runs a pre-school and a daycare out of what used to be a funeral home, and if we've learned anything from horror movies, it's that kids and ghosts are a perfect recipe for spookiness! Then, Courtney tells us about the angry dead wife with an eye for interior design who does not like the landscaping choices Courtney made when she moved into her home. This is a really fun and spooky episode, and we love that we got to share it with you. Happy Halloween!  You can read the absolutely crazy 40-page McKamey Manor waiver at the link below, bu

This week we’re bringing you a jam-packed I Don’t Get It! The girls talk about their signature high school scents: were you a Betsey Johnson or a Juicy Couture girl? Naz brings up the distinctive smells of certain fast food restaurants, and Lauren tells a truly horrific story about one of the more untrustworthy sandwich chains. Lauren, Ashley, and Naz randomly ended up in New York City at the same time, and they just don’t get why people from out of town pretend to know where they’re going. Lauren confesses a childhood lie that haunts her to this day. Naz shared a flight with two people who clearly don’t believe in the power of love. There’s also a lot of intense dinner talk. Like, a lot. Including some speculation about the reduced caloric intake of leftovers and a discussion of Ashley’s willingness to eat expired food. And of course, we couldn’t end the episode without a Hocus Pocus 2 review. What are you having for dinner? Let us know! Get 15% off plus free shipping on your first order at https://gladskin.

Feminist Lizzie is filling in for Naz this week. The girls discuss the differences between the male and female gaze in movies and between the sexes. They share some songs they love by fictional bands from their favorite movies. (If your answer is anything other than "That Thing You Do" or "Eye to Eye" from A Goofy Movie, what are we even doing here?) They talk about the quintessential fall vibes that are Meg Ryan, Taylor swift and the Rom Com master, Helen Hunt. Lizzie breaks down all the Internet speculation about Taylor's upcoming album Midnights and tries to catch Ashley up on all the celebrity gossip she's missing out on these days. They also go around and reminisce on sex scenes that scarred them or aroused them (and sometimes both) in their youth. Betterhelp is a sponsor of I Don't Get It.

It's a Ramble! Lauren and Naz describe the deliciousness that is the dirty martini, which naturally leads to the obvious question, "Why doesn't olive oil taste like olives?" The girls also ask, "How many almonds does it take to make a gallon of almond milk?" And if that's not enough excitement for you, Naz went to a wedding at the Bug Juice camp! There's a lot of dessert talk in this episode: Gelato, the classic ice cream sandwich vs. The Chipwich, Crumble and Insomnia Cookies. Relatedly, Lauren's got an I Don't Get It that will have you paying more attention to toothbrush commercials than you ever have before. Ashley tells us how some recent travel made her see codependency in a new light, and everyone gets a little confused about time zones. Clearly, this week's Ramble lives up to its name.

We are so excited that our incredible, beautiful, amazing friend Jade Roper Tolbert (@jadelizroper on Instagram / @jaderopertolber on TikTok) is with us for this week's Ramble! She came prepared with some perfect I Don't Get It questions. Like, do you make it a point to look good when you've got to get on a plane? And what is it with these overly-expressive TikTokers? Naz just saw the iconic Demi Moore movie Striptease, and she thinks we should all try to embrace our inner stripper and dance like no one's watching. Lauren and Ashley recount the beautiful wedding they attended in Italy, Lauren begs Naz to help Ashley convince Jared that it is NOT okay to wear jeans with a tuxedo jacket, and Naz cracks the code on why it's hard to get drunk at weddings (hint: free bread).  Betterhelp is a sponsor of I Don't Get It.

Two amazing podcasts collide this week! Both are well versed in sharing the truth about topics other people are too shy to discuss. IDGI meets LadyGang hosts, Keltie Knight and Jac Vanek, for an episode jam packed with personal stories, laughter and calamity. The ladies put each other on the spot describing their own personality traits, and what role they play on podcasts each week. Keltie hits the ground running by sharing a cutthroat example of the lengths she goes to when protecting a friend. The rest of the podcast barrels forward at one million miles per hour, breaks the podcast record for general hilarity, contains 386 random segues that are masterfully corralled back on topic, more poop stories than you'd think were ever possible in one episode, and an exclusive oscar story demonstrating one lady's possible over-commitment to fame.

It’s a ramble! Somehow this episode turned into a celebrity gossip special. Naz talks about her experience at the Emmys. The ladies discuss all of the recent celebrity relationship news, including Leo Dicaprio’s sudden change of heart when it comes to dating 25 year olds and whether it’s trouble in paradise or just some fresh botox that has Tom Brady looking less like himself these days. Timothée Chalamet blew everyone away with his stunningly androgynous look at the Venice Film Festival, and Lauren swears it’s Sebastian Stan’s crows feet that make him so hot. We’ve got an update on Joe Jonas, Ultimate Millennial Spokesperson, who has added Lasik and canned mimosas to his portfolio. This episode also features a lot of really important questions: Do you think it’s possible to be friends with someone you have a crush on? Who was hotter in their prime: Leo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt? And last, but not least, what’s the difference between a couch and a sofa? Let us know what you think over in the I Don’t Get It Facebo

It's a ramble full of updates! Naz follows up last week's Unique Occupational Series by asking Lauren and Ashley what job they would have had if they lived in a different era. Naz thinks she'd be a cowgirl. Lauren isn't totally sure. Milkmaid. Witch. No matter what, it would probably involve a corset. Ashley might have been a midwife, or maybe even a doctor like one of her favorite historical figures, Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. Ashley provides a thrilling update to the ongoing saga that is Nannygate. Naz tells us about her incredibly profound session with Peter Crone "The Mind Architect" who gave her a "loving kick in the ass." Lauren closes the show out with an update about her most recent family trip to Nantucket and stirs up memories of "Birth Control Beach" and Naz eating spaghetti in the sand.

This newest installment of the I Don't Get It Occupation Series covers a lot of fascinating ground. We start with Lauren who works at a fertility clinic evaluating egg and sperm donors. She shares what people are looking for in a donor, how much money you can make if you donate your eggs (It's a lot!), and what it's like to be a professional judger in what Ashley calls "The Bachelor auditions of sperm and egg donations." We also talk with Kelly, a polygraph examiner who administers polygraphs to prisoners. It's an intense job, but Kelly is hilarious and breaks down why it doesn't matter how sweaty you are if you ever find yourself hooked up to a polygraph machine. Lasty, we talk with the incredibly talented and ridiculously funny, Mary Elizabeth Kelly (https://linktr.ee/mare_kell), the self-proclaimed Mouth Acting Girl whose celebrity impressions are some of the best and funniest we've ever seen. She shares the ways that gaining notoriety on TikTok has helped her acting career. And of course she does some of

We know you love a good old ramble, and honestly, we do too. There's nothing better than sitting down with your friends and having a good chat, about things in the world we just don't get. Essentially that's life's equation for comedy. Have you been to a bachelorette party recently? Are there certain activities you like doing, or not doing? We share our opinions. We saw a Joe Jonas Botox commercial. This opens up the door to so many questions about celebrity endorsements, how they work, and why they do them. After some intense hilarity dissecting that topic, we jump onto a social subject. When dads look after the kids, why do people sometimes say he's babysitting? Verbiage is important here people. Do you also feel the same way we do, that walking back from a trip to the beach for some reason is harder than you'd imagine.  Heat, sunscreen, sand, heavy items. It's all too much.

Friday night down at Blockbuster, getting snacks and microwave popcorn, grabbing the last copy of the latest release. Those were the days. If it wasn't a movie, it was one of hundreds of old school sitcoms. Maybe you collected beanie babies back then? Are they really worth a fortune now? Which rare releases are worth the most money, and can you sell them on Ebay? Talking of Ebay, who uses that platform, and what do they use it for now? Is it still popular? Getting the high from a good bargain though is where it's at. There's nothing better than a thrift shop rummage. But are thrift sellers capitalizing on the surge in popularity of vintage items, and filling storbargainses up with overpriced items? Naz shares an emotional story about a recent summer romance. The shift of energy could be linked to her recent spiritual activation session.  Grab the tissue box you bought on Ebay.
