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 doin...

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.

This week's I Don't Get It is a bit of a therapy session.

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.

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...

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?"

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...

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 prov...

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.

Friday night down at Blockbuster, getting snacks and microwave popcorn, grabbing the last copy of the latest release. Those were the days.

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?

This week, starting off the show in full force with some substantially Icky Icks, then we segue on to the topic of unwanted hair, which opens doors to hours of conversation. Motorized devices, wax, cream that burns your hair off, and leaves your skin hairless but burning, and of course the hypnotizing and some may say addictive process of plucking. And... Why is the best light to see your hair at the dentist? Swiftly we move on to Lauren's distaste for fully shaven men. She prefers them a little...
