3:16This is the one in particular has to do, Robe, do I have it right? There is a thing called the Ick, it's real, you might have it, and can we do anything about it? Oh my God, I think everyone listening has had an experience of getting the Ick from someone they're dating, someone they may even be married to. Is that the official term of the Ick? Yes, it's been around for a while. I actually have some of the origins we can get into all of that. But the big headline here is, the Ick might not be about them, it might be saying something about you. Can you define the Ick, are we talking about just being turned off by the person you're in a relationship? Well, I have the Ick, I have a couple different definitions that have been offered to us by, I guess, professionals. The Ick can be described as the sudden loss of attraction towards a partner, or a moment of romantic repulsion that feels disproportionate and difficult to explain. You know you shouldn't be that turned off by something that's happening, and yet you are.

4:21And it makes you want to run for the host. Okay, can I, I know nothing about this, so I'm going to ask as we go along, are we talking about a moment in which there's a habit or routine or something that person does that doesn't do? Yes. I have plenty of examples. Would you like me to get an example? Where would you start? So these are oftentimes minor behaviors, minor quirks, but they take over your brain, and you can't forget them, right? So, and by the way, the Ick, hashtag the Ick, racked up nearly a quarter million posts in 2025 and counting. Like this is something that people are sharing and actually comparing notes with and finding a community. Like, okay, I'm not alone, but it's really interesting because what the therapists and the folks who study behaviors and human being say, don't worry, it doesn't mean you're superficial.

5:21I think sometimes I've definitely felt like that, like wow, Amy, like come on, just move past this. It's not that big of a deal. Okay. It means you're human and maybe it means you're a little scared. And we'll get into this because they describe having the Ick as actually a natural defense mechanism. And it doesn't always mean that you're incompatible with that person or that you're even necessarily turned off by that person. It could actually be a fear of vulnerability, a fear of intimacy. Then why? Okay, go ahead. I'm going to keep listening. Okay. So let me give you some examples. All right. Okay, my favorite one actually came out of a headline this week, Ila Fisher, actress who was once married to Sasha Baron Cohen. She is now dating post divorce and she shared this in a podcast. I'm going to say a word I wouldn't normally say, but she said it. Oh, God. So I think it's okay. But she talked about a dating Ick that she just had with a guy who she thought could go somewhere.

6:21Okay. She said, I really like somebody and his dog ran away. He chased his dog. But instead of chasing upright, he ran low with his hands outstretched like a cartoon. By the time he caught the dog, he lost the pussy. That's what she said. She was turned off by the way he ran. Yes. After this dog. Like he got so upset that his dog ran off the way he ran after his dog. She was just like, nope, not dating him anymore. Okay. So is there anything wrong with that? Because we all have things. Do we not? We have. Are these not just, I don't know, we call them deal breakers, but that's behavioral, right? That's somebody smokes or somebody does something. But Robes, there are certain people you're just not compatible with because we're, I can't be with somebody that does that. Okay. And yes, and that is... Is that a character flaw against that person? But you do end up feeling superficial and I just think if everyone's being honest, they've had this experience and what the, and we'll get into what the relationship experts say.

7:25They're saying don't run for the hills. Examined why you feel this very strong feeling of repulsion. Some other examples. Noisy eating. Noisy eating is a, okay, that's just an annoyance, isn't it? Doesn't everybody get turned off by noisy eating? But anyone listening like a noisy eater? No, but we're talking about the fact that your reaction would be like, oh my god, I can never go on another date with this person. Yes, that should be. We're on date too. And you're... Yes, exactly. Okay. I'm telling you though, sometimes you don't realize it when you're in the throes of love and then you get deeper into a relationship and you think, wow, that is so annoying. And I can tell you, I am a huge culprit of this, of just feeling that way. Some other examples. Someone who poses oddly in photos, like it's just like, eh, like an odd poser, clapping when the plane lands. Someone described sudden karate moves after dinner.

8:26Like some weird cork that somebody does. Discovered that their date bought fake books to decorate their home. Like little things that shouldn't rise to the level of we're going to break up now. Suddenly becoming overwhelming feeling that you want to run. Okay, I got it. I feel like I'm still still playing non-stop Jimmy Buffett. It's things that you think you should be able to just ignore or move past, but suddenly they become like these huge eggs that you can't unhere, unsee or unremember. Okay, I have thoughts, man. Go ahead. I have so many thoughts. But I want to hear this out because so many of the things you are listing are genuine turnoffs. I think for a great majority of people and women if you're being honest with yourselves. If you saw your guy, your man that you're dating, you know what, take a run down the street.

9:27And his arms are to the side, like one of the kids from weapons. You would go, what the actual hell? And that's just, whoa, that's a weird thing. It's just, no, go ahead with the list. There was so many things you listed there. I have some personal ones too. I can add along the same thing. Noise eating. Noise, everybody hates noise eating. So you have to swallow. Robes, we all hate that. That's not just an Ick. But you should be able to look past that if it's someone who you say you love. Okay, yes and you do. And we do. You're a very loud eater, baby. I know I am. You are the swallowing. I know. I'll give you because you always try to blame you. You have a narrow esophagus. I do. But sweetheart, you are a very loud, like extra, it's noticeable. Have you thought about breaking up with me over it? I've had moments. Okay. Depends on how big the meal will.

10:28Okay. Also, like I can tell you like it passed like the way someone sits, someone who plays non-stop air guitar on a steering wheel. Someone who listens to one artist over and over and over again, I understand that. Clapping when the plane lands made me laugh because... Because you look at some, what are you doing weirdo? That's what your response would be. Yes. Robes, that's weird. We just landed in Birmingham. What are you doing? I totally get it. Sudden karate moves after dinner. That made me laugh too. Like weird quirky behaviors. Like what are you doing that is such a turn off. Ew. Robes, no. These are just, I don't want to call them X. Robes, it's odd behavior that make, you know what it is? You look at, when people do that, there was like all sexual energy goes away. Yes. Like I can't be turned on by somebody who does that. Like when I started vomiting after the marathon and you said, damn you're sexy.

11:32Yes. Like I get that, but you were joking. But you were having a moment. Something with it, that wasn't a part of your character who you were. Don't get me wrong. You're up chucking at the A-train. I don't want to have sex with you then. But it's just having a moment. It's different from... Yes. ...behavior. Robes, there are things that people do that just make them... The way they sneeze. ...asexual to you. Yes, the way they sneeze. Like there are lots of things that can just really get under your skin. And actually people run for the hills. They avoid relationships when they see... But think about it. If someone is otherwise a wonderful human being and they have a couple things that are... Like if you see those and you think, oh hell no, bye. That is what we're talking about. Where you actually will leave a relationship or walk away from somebody who otherwise would have been a very... It represents something. ...datable, wonderful person. Maybe it represents something. You can have this wonderful guy who has bad habits around the house. He won't help. He won't pick up his 30 clothes.

12:32He won't do this. But he runs in a way you like... He protects you in the way he likes. He works hard in a way you like. He does all these things that still fit. He just has these annoyances. Robes, you are getting at the heart of what makes someone attractive. Yes. This is a matter of... If this person does this, there is nothing in their... physical... You can't make up for the attractiveness that's lost when somebody does something goofy. So, I will... And I shared this with you before we got on. I actually had a conversation years ago with a therapist because I was experiencing the Ick. And I actually felt ashamed by it because I thought, wow, am I superficial? Is this just... Like, I want to leave. No biggie, that's something particular. There were a couple things that were just... I felt like so turned off. And I was told that it was me afraid of intimacy. I was told it was my fear of intimacy. And that is exactly what several articles have specified about the Ick.

13:33Saying, now, there are some questions you can ask yourself because there is... The sum actually are... Okay. ...mourning signs that you should not be in a relationship with someone. But other times, they say it doesn't mean that you're turned off or incompatible, that it actually could be a form of self-protection. And it could be a tool that you have employed without realizing it to distance yourself from intimacy when it begins to deepen. Do you believe that? I believed it at the time. Now I look back and think I should have listened to my spidey sense. You think I love Fisher is scared of intimacy because the dude runs in a way that turns her off. Yeah. She's scared of intimacy. This is what some therapists are saying. Some, okay. They say it often happens when the fantasy of someone of who or what someone could be falls apart. Like, you're holding them up to this standard. And then the moment they do something you don't like, you're like, and we're done. And they're just warning people not to have a knee jerk reaction when you get the ick. Do you have any other examples?

14:34No, no, no. Okay. And I was going to ask you, do you have, if you think back without getting specific obviously to your life and your dating history, were there things that you were like, deal breaker, I just got the ick. I'm running, I'm not asking for a second date or a second date. What were they? Do you remember some of the actual behaviors? I, you know what? I, yeah. And one had to do with running. Okay, please do tell. This is funny because people can relate. It's funny because someone in the very public way ran towards me when we were reconnecting, hadn't seen this person in a while. And to be publicly running towards me, I was like, this is embarrassing. And I didn't like it. And I didn't want to be with that person anymore. I'm like, oh yeah, I made the right call. This is. I swear, yeah, I can remember that. It was like slightly from obsession like way too excited to see me. I've had someone start dancing and like at a restaurant. That's, you know, it's not my lane.

15:36It's not what I do. It's just it, you're turned off because you can never get on the same page with that behavior. Yes. And it's fine for that person. I just, we are so opposed in how we are comfortable behaving in public that we are not going to be okay. And that's fine. Rob, there's some stuff you've taken me to, I've complained about this before. If I was dating somebody that was doing this, it'd be a problem. That how you will sometimes get in some ice face and be singing a song. Oh, yes. That thing. I love doing that. It drives me crazy. I know it does. I try not to do it to you. It's such an issue. But I do like doing it. I don't know, I got it. Though we talked about this yesterday because this was on the list, burping in public. And look, some people think it's funny. Some people think it's okay. Some of them didn't. Well, we were eating yesterday. Oh, that's right, yeah. I mean, just walked right by us and let out and just ripped a belch. And they're like, some people think it's funny and cute and hilarious.

16:38And other people, it's a total dick. We're not compatible. Absolutely not. But guess where the origins, they believe that the origins from just actually using the term, obviously people have felt repulsion from the beginning of time. But to give it the label, the Ick, it came from, and I know it's something you did not watch. But I did. The 1990s series, Ali McBeal, they started using getting the Ick. And I did not realize that that was the first time that phrase was uttered. And it has really, obviously, we're still, what, 30 years later. And now it's kind of taken on a new life and people refer to it. If you just listen to Jen Zierz and they use it all the time. Yeah, it started listening on television, maybe even love Island, getting the Ick. People talk about the Ick all the time. What you've heard this on love Island. Oh, yeah, I've heard it constantly. So now it's funny to think that the origins were from 1990s sitcom Ali McBeal. But I- What did you do the Ick? Oh, I have so many, like I can actually go back and remember plenty of my Ick.

17:42Before you get to that is the Ick. Do you have the same Ick? Does it carry over through every relationship or is the Ick specific to certain people? For me, it was, I mean, you can have certain things that annoy you. But for me, some of these Ick are very personal and specific. Okay. So what I'm saying, if you get- if I'm annoyed by somebody clapping when we land, I'm going to be annoyed when she does it or the next person I'm dating does it or the next person I'm dating does it is a- that's what I'm asking. I don't know. I don't know that. I'm just interested of that because I wonder if you know someone's personality and it fits with their personality somehow you give them a pass because it works. It's authentic and it's something about that person that you like their silliness. Like I look fish. I look fisher. She'd had more time with this guy. Oh, that's my goofy boy run in. Exactly. She might have thought that. But what happens is when you're in a relationship with somebody and you start noticing everything they do is grossing you out, then you've got a problem. And I've definitely been in that experience before and you start to like feel bad that somehow you're judging someone at too high of a standard.

18:43But I also think you have to listen to how you're feeling and I do think I've made a mistake oftentimes in my life and my love life by not trusting my own gut where I- there's a reason why I'm turned off and it doesn't mean I'm a bad person but that is actually just not something I want to be around. Well, it's something like almost too high of a standard or too much. I don't know. You're holding yourself too high of a standard in that you are saying, what was it you said to your therapist that you're possibly being what? Because- Super fish. Too much of a deal. Too much of a deal. Too much of a deal. Because I think that's wrong. You got to listen to the, it's okay. It's not superficial. This is something. These are personality difference. These are character differences. We are not compatible. Yeah. I do that and I do this and that's okay. I don't like watching someone dance badly. Some people might think it's cute. I think it's unattractive. I think when someone has a really annoying sneeze or makes noises that are just embarrassing

19:49in public, yes. I do. I hate laughs. I cannot stand. If someone has a terrible laugh, I don't even think I can be friends with them. You know what? Because I love to laugh. You know things like that get under my skin. I was thinking about another. You know what? Makeup and heels can give me the egg. And what I mean is there are some folks who can't walk out the house without putting on full face. If you can't just be relaxed, I always say if you can't put on jeans and a t-shirt, belly up to a bar and watch the football game that we're probably not going to be okay. But the idea, that's a good way to put it and put it in reverse. If you can't do this, that's an egg. Yes. So, look, they suggest that you ask yourself these questions when you realize you're getting the egg. Is this something important that I've noticed? Like, is this an important thing that they're doing or not doing? Is it an excuse to avoid emotional closeness?

20:50Is it an excuse to avoid awkwardness? And what about the behavior bothers you? Does it say something deeper about that person? And if it does, then that should indicate to you that maybe there's a reason why you're feeling this and that relationship isn't right. So sorry. Can you say that list again? Well, you need to ask yourself, is this something important? Like, what they're doing? And is it an important thing that would affect your life, like in a big way? No. Most of them are no. You belching loudly or clapping when the pilot lands, it's not the end of the world. Exactly. So they're just saying, take that into the context of what it is. You don't want to be with you, but go ahead. Is it an excuse to avoid emotional closeness? No, no, no. Emotional closeness, because you're clapping like a moron when we landed. Okay. Is it an excuse to avoid awkwardness? Excused to it. Like, you just don't want to be in an awkward moment, so you just rather not be with that person. Are you just kind of dismissing it because it's awkward and you don't like to be in an awkward situation? Uh, yeah, I don't want to be embarrassed in public repeatedly.

21:54Every time we land, every time we go out to dance, yes. And I think this is a big one. What about the behavior bothers you? Just to investigate it, does it signal a deeper issue with that person? And if the answer is yes, then that is something you should consider. Okay. I think that's fair. Now, when we come back, we're going to tell you how you should handle the situation. If you are in a relationship with someone and they are giving you IK, what should you do? When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and health captive for nine months. I survived and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart and these are the survivor files. I just remember this low taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.

22:58I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. Their stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the survivor files with Elizabeth Smart on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pinero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, you smile good, that's not a lot of people smile around here.

23:59It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind or wake up to a new version of yourself. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip, I hope you listen to Solita on the I Heart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Listen to Pro's Society on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. See you between the pages. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? But to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is high nears and apple etch. But they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life. Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment?

26:03God need men to rule great and decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bulls**t. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here. Our hometown is not a test to. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. I guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Self-care September is here, which means it's time to rethink what self-care actually means. Yes, self-care can be a long walk, it can be an everything shower, it can be putting your phone on, do not disturb. But sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff. And understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out why you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again. I'm Gemis Begg, the host of the Psychology of Your 20s podcast. And each week we unpack the psychology behind the experiences that shape your 20s, from relationships and friendships to money, anxiety, confidence, attachment, just becoming more

27:06comfortable with who you are. Unlike the quarter life crisis which is depicted as the collapse, the quarter life reinvention is the expansion and growth of something. When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves, nobody else can take that from you. So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHot Radio app, Apple podcasts or whatever you get your podcasts. Hey there everybody and welcome back to Amy and TJ. We're talking about the ICC, we've all felt it. We've probably all given someone it without realizing it. But the question here is what you should do if you find yourself in a relationship with someone who is suddenly giving you the ICC. Maybe you didn't notice it before and now you're like what do I do. So the experts say if the rest of the relationship is healthy and fulfilling, if for the by and

28:08large you are happy with this person but damn it every time they sneeze, it's so annoying and loud you literally can't have sex with them for 24 hours. They say you should wait and give the ICC time to pass and then they suggest you should discuss your concern directly with your partner, not with everyone else which is what they say most people do. You call your girlfriend, you call your friend like oh my god every time he does this I want to just die or crawl under a rock. There's some women listening to this podcast who are going to immediately call their girlfriend. Absolutely. I mean I've done it. When I read that I was like oh shit I did do that. I would absolutely be like oh my god every time he does this so they say the proper way to deal with this you do and you should tell your partner when you do this this really annoys me. Can you try and not do this and that's an okay and fair thing to do. You should address it with your partner.

29:09You should tell them it's annoying. Okay. That's fair. Okay. Oh my gosh there was another example. Can you stop belching in public the ability to turn off. Yes. When you do that you know what you could say that is not sexy and I think that will stop somebody in their tracks. And when we get to Chicago can you keep your hands down and you don't have to applaud okay. Someone else gave an example I just saw this one that here's an example of say a guy because this seems like something a guy would do. Wait for it. Here we go. Decides to pull out his guitar and serenade you. It's probably a guy. You could be I. Okay. They say it's okay to say this to them. That was so sweet but it makes me embarrassed to have someone sing to me. Like just try not to like totally humiliate them. Okay. But let them know that's just not something I want to hear. And you know what I can remember sometimes when someone sent me a cheesy ass terribly written poem. I was like I'm done.

30:10Like I cannot be with someone who writes this and I didn't have the guts to say that but I was like and we're done. Like nope. But there is another woman out there somewhere who might think that's very sweet. Absolutely. But also couldn't we be in a point right now I write you a bad poem and you might not react the same. I would react the same. Isn't it a matter of where you are in that relationship? Absolutely. And that should tell you about your relationship. If you get turned off by something that another man might you might love. Yeah. Yeah. That's I get that. Yes. So what is your what would be your nickname? Like what would I feel icky about you? What do you think it is? Oh probably just my eating I think because I know that I'm a little I am loud and my swallowing I know that I and I try really hard to not be loud but oh that's not your reaction. Well it's not just once you chew the food and the swallowing is not the problem it's everything that precedes. Alright I'll do better on that. I'm like no but seriously and I'm trying to eat girl I'm still here.

31:11I'm trying to think. I'm trying to think what my ick is about you. What do you think an ick would be somebody would have for for me? Yeah. Who would say yeah she's ick every time robot does it was an ick for me. Turn me off and she did this this this this this this. Like candy crush like I don't know that might be it might sound it might seem immature like why is someone of your age on your phone playing a game. Damn. I'm trying to think you get the ick for me I'm watching Archer and family guy so I like as I'm shaving. This is such a good this is such a good thing I'm trying to think like a habit you have that gives me the ick the only one that I pointed out to you and I did tell you and you stopped like you're kind of amazing at how you just stop but I told you when you crack your knuckles or you crack your arm that that gave me the ick I was like it's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me and you said done and you stopped doing it.

32:12Why do they call that what kind of obsessive I have a weird thing you can tell me to stop doing something I will stop doing it. It's weird I've never seen anyone be so like effect like it's kind of frightening I will turn that off right now and I will never do it again and I was like what who can do that and say that. So my that loves you baby. I guess but yeah and I don't I other than that I cannot think of an ick. Okay sorry this is. Anyway they did want to say before we go I want to I think this is important that there are deal breaker icks that you should be aware of road rage, rude distrangers that could be an indication of deeper issues deeper mental health issues that you might want to take notice of. I'm not going to consider when the five at lands. That's not an indicator of bizarre. Okay.
