“I’m 23 and my partner is 33, we’ve been together for five years”
My face: 🤨
😂 totally
Honestly I was bothered they didn't say anything about it, I feel like it changes the whole situation about cheating
This! I was like wait.. he was 28, and her 18..
I had to rewind because WHAT
Can you imagine a 16 year old and a 26 year old. So inappropriate.
18 and 28 isn't much better.
Girl, just leave.
This is by far the most unhinged and most entertaining GITMS episode I’ve seen and I’m only 18m in.
I feel like we need a separate episode dedicated to unpack the underlying chaos hahaha
New listener. Totally binging. I love hearing a loving couple have fun "discussing" light hearted topics and having fun together.
Thank yall for always wearing fits that are able to find the full video from the short based on your outfits
One of my favorite episodes so far. I love listening to this podcast because of how real the two of you are. It’s rare in social media to see and is refreshing to see you guys being unapologetically yourselves.
You two have the perfect balance of snark and sincerity. Snarkcerity?
Words can’t express how much I love this podcast 😂 it brings so much joy to my day when I listen
Shirley from Texas- This is the first podcast of y’all’s that I’ve heard 🤯 you so are so refreshing and hilarious! My husband and I have been married for 9 years and I thought we were weird for humorously talking shit to each other! Good to know there are others out there that don’t take themselves too seriously and are still crazy in love with each other. Keep it up, “give it to me straight” will definitely be our car ride hangs go to podcast! 🤩🤩
Subscribing now and waiting for this podcast to blow up. Such good conversations
I dont understand the person in the second question, you want your Relationship to be a long term thing and yet you cheated/are cheating?? If you dont come clean, he'll find out on his own eventually. You're taking away his choice. He deserves to find somone who wants to commit
not to burst anyone’s bubble, but I was with a high school sweetheart for six years, and felt the same way as that girl. I just couldn’t imagine going my entire life never sleeping with anyone else. Plus, I didn’t know it at the time, but I was not emotionally fulfilled at all whatsoever, so I dumped him, had a short hoe phase and then met my husband, who I am happily married to, and do not need anyone else ever because our sexual chemistry is amazing!! Sometimes you do need to experience other things
But for you it wasn't all about sex. You didn't know that at the time but the relationship wasn't fulfilling emotionally so you having you hoe phase, yes, qas about sex but if you weren't fulfilled, the relationship wouldn't have lasted anyway and it wouldn't be about sex
Yeah ,give it a few more years then we will talk😂
I always look forward to Tuesdays 🎉 you guys are so funny and so real 🤗
Hahaha Jon "I don't need the authentic heat" at the end when you talk icks and Alex says restaurants without a/c! This made me laugh out loud😂 you guys are hilarious, I watch the pod every week and look forward to it so much, always makes me chuckle 😆
I look forward to watching these every week! You two are amazing! Very relatable & entertaining to watch/listen to ❤
Thank you! ❤❤❤
One of the best parts of my Tuesdays! 🎉😊
😂😂😂 this episode is hilarious 😂😂😂 you guys have great chemistry! 😊
New to the gang and totally in love!!! ❤best part of my Tuesdays!!!
welcome to the shitshow
You both are amazing 💜
16:55 Jon’s face says that not true 🤣 he didn’t even entertain it. you two are naturally hilarious
First time listener. Great Podcast. You guys make me miss being married.
I freakn love you guys!! ☺️
Fav podcast 💜💜💜
You guys needs thousands more views 😂 It's coming!
Can’t stop watching all their videos.. lmao I’m even looking up the items I. Their commercial … John 😍😍😍
17:55 I almost chocked on my drink laugh so hard 😂😂😂
You guys are the best 😂😂😂
You guys should do an episode where you guys dress up as each other and mimic each other
How are we not talking about the age difference on the second one. She was likely groomed if they started dating when she was barely 18 and he was 10 years older
When I was binging the run time of the podcast was great! Now that I’m caught up the run time of the podcast is too short lol what do I do?
Lol same!!! I need more! 😂
John is pissing me off so bad this episode 😂
Love the Podcast!!
Unrelated Question: Has Jon been diagnosed with ADHD? He reminds me sooo much of myself with not being able to totally understand the questions when they are being read out loud to him and some other traits of him you both are talking about.
No but I probably should 😂
I was going to ask the same thing, but Audhd haha a mix of being autistic and adhd. I’m both and found out at almost 40. They bounce off each other and many of us mask it so well, without even knowing we do. I could see Alex having both too haha but that’s just because I’ve been diving deep into it all haha lots of love 😅😉🥰
The only thing I wanna hear jon say is.... this place is fu**in faaancy 😂😂😂 that short had me dying
I love the bickering I am at work getting looks as I keep accidentally chuckling out loud….😅
Since you “need” the commented I also think like John where I think of all the scenarios. I’m always trying to work out all those situations
I cannot wait to be able to argue or be with my husband 24/7 😩 I dream of that day, I enjoy every second with my husband. He is so sweet and maybe me too 😂 I can totally see the down fall 😮 but regardless being able to be with your husband every single day? Sounds amazing to me. I just hope to be able to at least enjoy that, who wouldn't want to be with their loved ones? The laughter the greatest moment is to be with who you love? Aside from going down the "typical" I love him I love fighting I love it all.. no seconds are enough. O I can only imagine to be disrespected with my husband. I love every minute and all moments with him 😢 I hope I can feel this experience
Wait why did she cut him off?! I wanted to hear what he was gonna say 😅
The fact that the term "hoe phase" is normalized just goes to demonstrate the negative impact social media has on us.
Facts.
Never more truer words been spoken
The guy not wanting to go out might be experience some mental health distress 🙈 I hope people explore that before accusing their partner on being this or that. Maybe they arent in a place to do better right now and might not even see that clearly themselves
I love listening and just authentically laughing with you guys. And real honesty. Sometimes people need to hear it straight forward. Also, people need to start giving more details in their questions. How annoying you never knowing the full stories so you really can’t give true advice. PEOPLE! Be more honest and in depth if you want them to answer the same way 💕
I’m so 😊
Explain how your husband getting into conspiracies is a bad thing…It’s the literal most interesting conversation topic. 😂
"I'm currently in a three year relationship....with the girl I live with" What kind of wording is that 😂 You live with your girlfriend of three years. Referring to your relationship as "lame" .... Yeah end the relationship so she can find better!
🤣😊 John!
❤
To the elope couple: Being a fiancee /fiance is so much fun! Saying "I'm engaged" is so young and flirty and fun - so much more fun sounding than being married sounds (I love being married, but still - "fiancee" sounds sexier and flirtier than "wife").
Enjoy it, it's so short and it's (hopefully) a once in a lifetime period. Enjoy being engaged! It's fun! Why would you need to "romanticize" the most romantic phase of life?!?!
😂😂😂😂
Ma’am, break up with your QANON boyfriend!!!!!
Wow someone on the internet jumping to conclusions, I’m shocked.
You guys are too good looking for ugly words (swearing) come out of your mouths. I can’t listen . Too much swearing.
lol so leave. you dont have to be here. let people swear if they want.
Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should. A lot of people swear and it’s overdone. Not swearing shows great self control.
@@JulieN-en9ur yeah, kinda like telling others how to live their lives. You can. Doesnt mean you should. Soundin' goofy as hell.
@@to4217 So by my comment; voicing my own opinion which I have every right to make. you come trolling in telling me what to do. Sure, that makes sense. 👍🏻
@@JulieN-en9ur nah, you just decided to pull some mental gymnastics by twisting semantics to attempt to point out hypocrisy on my part in order to justify your behavior of "voicing your own (obnoxious) opinion". Hypocrisy isn't a great justification to post every buffoon opinion that pops in your head. You can if you wish though.
But it looks like we agree that its annoying to tell others what to do.
Like you did by crying about how ugly it is to swear.
Which was my original point.
