- Why don't you feel very good?

- 'Cause I ate like nine cupcakes

- You wanna look like a f***ing hippo?

- No I don't wanna look like a hippo.

- Why would you eat nine cupcakes honey,

when you have a salad in front of you

why wouldn't you eat salad?

- Because cupcakes are better.

- Well why would they be better,

this is much better for you.

- Okay, I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

stick up for him,

make up excuses for him.

- Why would I stick up for him?

- I dunno just saying you can

talk to me.

- No he's so sweet.

Did I tell you about our first date?

He took me to get red velvet cupcakes,

which are my favorite kind,

and I ate like five of

them, and then he was like

do you want to come back to my place,

there's this poem that

I really wanna read you.

- [Irene] Oh sure, a

poem, you fell for that?

- I didn't fall for anything

he wanted to take me back

to read me a poem and then

he did and it was a really

good like deep inspirational

poem and like I cried,

we both cried.

And then he got really hard, you know,

and then he took his pants off,

and then he pulled his

dick out and he was like

would you please just suck it.

- Oh my God.

- Yeah, but it was like

sweet, it wasn't like creepy

at all 'cause he said

it in such a nice way.

It was like so gentle,

and so I was doing it, and it was dark,

and he was really into it

but I have a really intense

gag reflex so I threw

up all over his dick.

(laughing)

- Oh sh*t.

- Yeah.

- Really?

- And I was like Oh my god I'm so sorry

I just puked all over

your dick and he was like

it's not even a thing,

and the he just like, we just cuddled,

and he like read me poetry

all night, you know,

and like last night, I swear

to God we had sex three times

and he was just thinking

about his ex the entire time.

- How do you know?

- I could just tell I could

like see it in his eyes,

you know there's like a

psychic thing, you know,

because we're so connected.

I'm sorry I'm just like stressed out,

do you think I should call him?

- No, don't call him, you know.

- Just why hasn't he called me yet?

- Leave it alone okay!

Give ut a week.

- That's the last pair

in this size actually,

- It's actually kind of a size too small

but they're so cute.
