DATING “Icks!" Good Influences Episode 25

[@AF40952]

carly's sense of humor and timing is so underrated lol

[@Matt_LaLuz]

YES

[@tirador0315]

THAT PARTTTTTTT

[@hallimorgan2744]

39:33 had me lol'in. Carly's evolution to a Diet Coke girly is all too relatable.

[@alexiam0909]

Okay wow episode 25 already!! We need an episode all about the 2000's 🤠

[@luale_monze]

Mike looks hella good with that hair!

[@jenileighb]

He’s leveling up lately

[@Jalin516]

Mike saying “what’s her @ bro” made me physically wince

[@LA-us6kp]

Totally agree with Erin about men in flip flops lol it’s unsettling

[@theyJC]

extra points when its in cold weather & accompanied with shorts

[@carlywolosyn5705]

I feel like erin always tries to play the “I’m better than you” card lmao.

[@jenileighb]

Ickk

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

One of the reasons I couldn’t stand her in the beginning and now it’s more of she’s like that I guess cuz I do enjoy the podcast

[@rosier1900]

Ya I really enjoy this podcast normally but honestly there icks really just give me the ick.

[@missssieb]

when mike said republican i died😂😂 i loooooove and couldnt agree moreeee

[@maddiprice2464]

Hope this podcast never ends. I listen to lots of podcasts and none compare to yall

[@carterchojnacki3606]

Lol Matt talking about the friendship instability spoke to me so hard. I know a toxic person JUST like that

[@emilygrace0221]

Refreshing to see Matt on a podcast where where the co-hosts agree with his left leaning beliefs & aren’t immediately shot down (*cough*cough* zane & heath)

[@mobojen]

it’s very refreshing, happy to see matt be authentic with like minded ppl and not hold back.

[@val3426]

ITS AMAZING

[@SC28008]

What do you mean? I watch both and haven’t really caught on

[@ttaylor8830]

@@SC28008 yea same I’ve never gotten those vibes from Zane and Heath, been watching them since they started unfiltered

[@Dsbeat7000]

Same I’ve noticed Matt being frustrated that Heath believes the earth is flat. If that doesn’t show they are republicans then what will

[@AngieFlippi]

i totally get when carli means when she gets the ick the second her crush likes her back. im the same way!! i think it stems from my not liking to be flirted with. i haaate being spoken to in a flirtatious manner or spoken to like someones trying to "win me over". it feels disingenuous. like just talk to me like a normal person. just because im a girl (cis straight female) that you may like more than a friend, doesn't mean you can't still talk to me like a normal person?? like just be nice and genuine! i like a person because theyre a good person and funny and smart -- not because you have "skills" in picking up women. the biggest ick. im in a relationship with a man for almost 2 years and one of the reasons why i think i liked him so much and why it worked out is because he just spoke to me like a normal person. he asked questions and was genuinely curious and wanted to get to know me. he didnt flirt or try to so hard. i just hate feeling like an object and i think that happens a lot with women especially when it comes to dating and crushes. i hope i explained that well. love you guys & the pod!!

[@arjohnston97]

I’ve never been able to put this into words! Thank you!!

[@io2255]

that’s such an interesting perspective. It’s an ick to me too but for different reasons, I think just low self esteem lol like ‘why do u like me back? you must be lame to like me’. Trying to work on it though, I don’t push them away anymore now lol.

[@lilliscott1228]

Thank you, Erin. There is NOTHING worse than a man flopping around in some flip flops.

[@daniiic3]

100%! I hate a man in a flop lol. Slides cool, but flip flop NOPE NOPE NOPE!

[@DanielLopez-ht9me]

This is more unfiltered than Zane and heath unfiltered lmao they are speaking their mind more than Unfiltered. Lol

[@phoenixsoto5315]

i’m dead that no one is talking about erin thinking “chasing a coin” ment literally chasing a coin and not a man who’s a workaholic chasing a bag/coin/fat paycheck i’m actually crying i love them

[@io2255]

Erin was actually right lol because icks are silly turn offs that aren’t a big deal whereas someone having that ‘hustle 24/7 alpha’ mindset would be categorised as a red flag.

[@janellies1320]

Whaaaat I thought the same as Erin 🤣🤣 like it made sense

[@heyitsme7147]

No but that’s what it means 😅 When talking about Icks they actually mean chasing a coin, ping pong ball or whatever. It’s the action of bending over and missing an object that is a funny ick. Nobody’s talking about it because she was right

[@laurenrawding2012]

‘When you get the clap, it’s a great feeling’ I’ve heard otherwise lmao

[@Rachkittycat9711]

I feel like “ick” is second hand embarrassment. Once my boyfriend and I were leaving the grocery store after checking out & had our bags in our hands he kept pushing the empty cart out of the store and the attendant was trying to yell to him to bring it back inside and he just wasn’t realizing lmao an that was like my aha of an ick. Not that I’m like god ew I can’t look at you we just laughed about it

[@haileyjohnson8750]

When a guy has long fingernails in general whether they’re dirty or not… an ick

[@ashch8828]

I'm cackling at Carly's response to EDM 😂😂😂😂😂 butubututbutu gasping for air

[@oliviaredmond5622]

This episode made me laugh out loud so much! Carly's humour is so so good! Love from UK :)

[@carolinetfair]

Republican here- love Mike’s perspective on it. I like that he can respect other political reviews and use it as an opportunity for conversation, BUT I don’t believe it should be a motive to change or convert someone. We can both be firm in our beliefs and still have good conversations without trying to convert each other! Love the pod, I watch every week!!

[@tonijberry]

oh my god! Do you guys remember “Is anyone up?”

[@laurence181]

makes me feel a lot better knowing matt also has the same view as me about girls on Instagram that show too much skin etc

[@kate-ec4pj]

yesss same it was nice to hear someone finally say it

[@MikeShefferNJ]

Comment which ICK you most agree with !

[@k8iiryn]

Only 10 mins in but the barstool ick is too relatable 😅

[@Carol-mn9xq]

Barstool and republicans for sure lol

[@emilygrace0221]

YEP republicans are an immediate no. It’s just not gonna work out

[@queeninthestars]

republicans😭😭

[@gabbyc4145]

Me being obsessed with this pod and also working at cvs being like👁👃👁 every time they mention it lmao

[@maeganjade4201]

Us Australians wear flip flops 24/7 😂 sorry Erin

[@camilasenna3647]

us Brazilians too hahaha Erin would die in Rio 😂

[@ZaynMalik-sq2li]

Guess she can’t go to Australia 😂 😂

[@Yqtteuu]

23:06 Matt’s self awareness is so attractive. 👏🏽👏🏽

[@maryfunderburk5453]

always thought it was Matt who crushed on Carly back in the day but it was actually Carly who crushed on Matt???🤯

[@DanielaGarcia-fw3tl]

WHAT i missed this lol

[@carlywolosyn5705]

As a fellow Carly with a crush on matt I totally get it 😌😂😂

[@Livemusiceventsuk]

Gotta be one of your best episodes yet guys, couldn’t stop laughing. Also Carly was thriving this pod and I love that ✨👑

[@tammylee7377]

I wish we could get a extra podcast next week for Christmas 🎄🥰

[@lexipowell3104]

I've followed each of y'all for years and this video solidifies my affinity for everyone lol. I agreed with about every single ick :)))))

[@jordythornton3157]

Mike reminded me to clean my bathroom counter 😂

[@iswhat1]

1:05:20 I immediately thought of Zane on Unfiltered lmao

[@MsJessyNola]

Today he caught himself

[@tracyak99]

please post the bloopers for the manscaped ad, their writer needs a raise for sure

[@oliviat3611]

24:38 omg no! i have like 15 weird funny things glued to the dashboard of my toyota camry 😂 including the doll head from a babydoll from an antique shop and a dead beatle:) just fun and weird things that make me smile, loved this episode tho! ❤

[@pixxie102]

Love that Mike is unaware that Tuesday just maybe the least of the football days of the week, like honestly what's the opposite of an ick Because That is it 😂😂😂

[@joslynbradley1666]

The Republican ick is so real.

[@Shaner373]

so is the liberal one

[@lanadelslay69]

@@Shaner373cope

[@erinlee8618]

I agree with you all for sure except EDM bc I love it without drugs and sober! It’s the sounds and the changes within that that really intrigue me! I also have adhd so of course naturally I’m more drawn to sounds and less words! But I love everything except heavy rap!

[@gunaitarde9312]

what are the odds that I actually coughed up out of no where just before Erin mentioned coughing w/o covering your mouth LMAO

[@tylluminati]

“Now I’m just thinking about how she’s not wearing socks in her shoes” 😂😂😂

[@marcyanne8910]

Being a Republican would be my ick too. If someone was religious and a democrat I would be fine with that but Republicans are very Republican if that makes sense.

[@10arcs4]

I’m 6,6…. I’m standing as soon as the plane lands lmao my knees are digging into a seat for 5+ hours its miserable

[@hannahdicristofaro]

i dated a guy once who was like 8 years older than me and he told me he named his body pillow after me and it gave me the ick. all i could think of were big, hairy man thighs

[@jessican6451]

when Mike said Republican Erin looked at Matt 🤣🤣 well after the roast we know Patricia is a republican.

[@miranduh04]

Matt was too quiet during the barstool part 🤣

[@Jake-kg2zc]

One of the funniest episodes for sure

[@jessfinacrass]

as far as the fish pics go, if you catch a fish doesn’t mean that it’s dead. most the time when people take those pictures, the fish are still alive and then they put them back in the water and they continue to live. or they take them home to eat.

[@dayoayorinde4099]

40:30 “Dipidedoodah” killed me lmao

[@theyJC]

No PLS Mike I need to know your strategy for helping conservative ppl see the light. The level of cognitive dissonance that my legal guardians have is so frustrating! SOS

[@rubyrominaa]

I wish Mike would make a podcast about this lol definitely needs some tips

[@bviva2577]

Gossipy negative episode. Of course, I still enjoy the show , just not this episode. Don’t judge, just have fun! Take a picture in front of a pink wall, take a picture in front of any mural, enjoy life while you can.

[@kate-ec4pj]

it’s funny bc u wouldn’t even care if u didn’t feel attacked by something they said 😂 they’re right and it’s their podcast so stop projecting ur insecurities on to them they can say whatever they want.

[@jessisabr0ski]

men in flip flops is my biggest ick too…. imagine being me when harry styles went to my local whataburger IN FLIP FLOPS!!!!

[@starkT98]

Please make these podcasts longer

great episode love yall ❤

My car is never clean but my apartment is

[@Karinaaaguilar]

My feet get too cold to not sleep w socks on . In fact I need two pairs w this LA weather and I only don’t wear a third pair cause I don’t have big enough socks to go over two other pairs .

[@megan_1]

omg I totally relate with Erin on the flip flop ick 😂

[@3lolo377]

Very coordinated with the Chosen Family podcast’s theme ^^

[@tinaababyyy]

Heath and Mariah as republicans hahaha… they are SUPER DISAPPOINTING

[@kate-ec4pj]

facts i’m starting to hate them for it too

[@haileyjohnson8750]

Note to self: don’t take pictures in front of murals

[@ttaylor8830]

As someone who despises socks unless I’m wearing shoes, I enjoyed the sock slander 👏🏾😂

[@NoelleHull90]

I do some of these icks lol I sleep with socks on because I can’t sleep if my feet are cold, and they’re always cold. That’s the only one I can remember from what you guys mentioned but I thought that was funny

[@Matt_LaLuz]

Erin in bro voice is so fuckin funny

[@electralexa99]

The republican comment is so self righteous lol “sometimes it just takes education!” as though any one side is all knowing

[@Cyben_]

Definitely a republican is my biggest ick

[@kate-ec4pj]

facts

[@ashleylarkin9399]

Matt NAILED it with girls not have girl friends... biggest biggest red flag

[@Bob-os6sg]

I went onto KZbin to watch and there was nothing uploaded 😔 then I realised it was 7:59pm lol 🤣

[@Azwethinkweiz0o]

Anyone feel like Matt projects sometimes? It seems like he often thinks the worst of people or assumes they have ulterior motives. Makes me wonder if it’s because that’s how he’d behave/think/etc. (The part about people answering their own questions on IG is what stuck out to me in this video. He also often assumes people are lying or exaggerating things.)

[@kate-ec4pj]

everything he said was completely true… maybe u should look inwards as to why it offended you so much… also, nobody is forcing you to watch.

[@danniamendoza9260]

Love how dramatic is Matt

[@kryvyen6124]

52:19 i was on tinder and this guy had a picture holding up two dead ducks and he was making them kiss… immediate no bc wtf 😭 the rest of his pics were literally all with dead animals 👎

[@luciajimenez9666]

Ew

[@isabellasanar2143]

erin is very hard headed... interesting

[@icee2329]

I am dating someone who is republican, he is a cop. I fall more democratic. I was a little worried about this at first, but it hasn't been an issue, yet. And he watches football like religiously, but it doesn't bother me too much. When we are together, I don't mind watching, too.

[@icee2329]

To Matt, I have like maybe one girlfriend. Definitely not by choice. Just my high school group fell apart and college didn't go the way I hoped and we all live in different places. I would love a squad, but now I don't know how I would build one based on my situation.

[@kate-ec4pj]

girl run

[@ronellgaming]

Love the episode ♥️😊

[@esmeraldapalestino4573]

Men in flip flops omg!! 19:09

Aside from the republican ick convo I really love listening to you guys! Carly and Erin are so funny, and Matt is such a character loveee him

I personally love the Houston Mural. Pero that's just because I am from Houston. It's nice though.

Completely agree on flip flops

Brooke Averick and Mike would be the hottest couple of 2023 just saying

[@annalanglois745]

disagree on the burning man front but other wise else, i see the logic

[@gabrielafloresenciso9613]

i felt personally attacked multiple times in this episode 😂😂guess thats why i dont have a bf

[@TommySheaofficial]

Is it "ick", to like your own comment, as I just did after I read it?

Not Matt coughing without covering his mouth again after Erin says a submission saying it......hmmmmm

[@io2255]

the ick makes more sense in British context because it was actually more of a British thing. Interesting to see the way tik tok has blown it up the past 2yrs

[@emilypitcher7928]

Men in flip flops is an ick for me too 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Patatepourrie]

Wait... Mike is single? My sister is 32, Jewish(converted orthodox), liberal, and has similar vibes/interests as you 😏

[@krisstinalewis6347]

Gen z wants everyone on tiktok

[@zachharris3040]

These four seem deeply entrenched in their political beliefs... which is just sad. Believe in what you want but there is a nauseating sense of superiority spewing out, especially during the first few minutes. Haven't we all learned by now that all political parties operate unethically? Not sure how old they are here but hopefully they can keep their minds open enough to see politics in general seem to be just a cash grab.

[@jasonhunter2819]

I mean...'the ick' has been around forever to mean you're sick, but the new context...yeah that's total gen z slang there

[@kileyshinn3833]

I think I might be in love with Mike
