Threatening Friends with a Good Time with Dude, That's F****d Up- Nicole Mackie and Erin Saul

9/21/2021

"Two bathrooms? I'll clog 'em both."
Guest friends Erin Saul and Nicole Mackie of Dude, That's F****d Up join us for laughs about pregnancy and being thirty.

This week Gabrielle and Pallavi are joined by another podcasting power couple, Erin Saul and Nicole Mackie of Dude, That's F****d Up. DTFU is another amazing show on the WhoHaHa Network, so you know these are some funny ladies making some SLAY content.

Erin and Nicole have been best friends for years and years. If you can believe it, they met all the way back in middle school, but they will neither confirm nor deny if that was in the '90s. Even though they lived very separate lives throughout their twenties, they say told us that the constant in their lives was their friendship with each other. Shedding a tear at how sweet that is, NBD.

But how did these ladies start podcasting together? Erin was recovering from, in her own words, "a gnarly surgery," and was stuck in bed for days. The way she passed the time was listening to hours and hours of podcssts. She thought starting a podcast might be fun, and the only person she wanted to pod with was her bestie, Nicole. They must have some kind of sixth sense, because when Erin called her to talk about it, Nicole was already thinking about the same thing. Get you a friend that you have a literal psychic link with!

This Instagram post is in celebration of Erin and Nicole podcasting together for four whole years! Here's hoping G and P hit that milestone one day!

Erin and Nicole also shared with us the story of what happened when they finally lived near each other in California again, after spending most of their twenties apart. They decided to celebrate by going to BARS, and forgot that they are in their thirties now. So they woke up incredibly hungover. At least they got a funny story out of it.

Erin: I think you have multiple.

How do you keep in touch?

Text!

In one word or a hyphenate, what kind of friend is she? What would her title be?

Erin: Nicole is, I think a Cactus Friend in a lot of ways.
Nicole: I think you are too, I think that's why our friendship like sustained for so long without a ton of attention. We didn't need it. It was like, you know, call me when there's a big thing and we'll be there for each other, and you know, check in sometimes, but we don't need to. I don't need you to hold my hand through like, I don't know. Like, I got a old bagel at the deli or something like and I'm like distraught about it, like you're busy.

What would you like to do better as a friend?

Erin: Because I am a cactus friend, I think that everybody else is too, and I'm very bad at you know, reaching out when I think of somebody. Well, and you know, like a lot of that has to do with like, I'm just very busy with my son and a whole host of other things, but like, I need to reach out more and be like, what's up? How you doing? I'm thinking of you. Just to all my friends. You know?
Nicole: I think I need to be, I don't think more confrontational is the thing I'm thinking of, but I just think when I like, have a question, or I'm like, maybe like miffed about something, I need to, like, address it earlier, and not let my emotions get all wrapped up in it. And then I'm, like, weird about it.

Erin, what is your favorite thing about Nicole?

Erin: Oh, my God, Nicole is probably the sweetest person, like a genuinely sweet, like tender hearted person. And it just makes me feel warm inside that I can say anything to her and she is just truly genuinely sweet about it. Even though she's like, you know, she could be, like brash in some ways. It's just like, I know, I know her so well. She's just a sweet, good person. And I know her heart so well that it's just, I don't know, she's just my baby. Also, her laugh is infectious. And she thinks I'm funny. So that's like, that's good ingredients.

Nicole, what is your favorite thing about Erin?

Nicole: Oh, I think I could have given her also like the multi-hyphenate of just she is a good problem solver. And also, she's just like maybe the most like, emotionally intelligent person I know. I think she is just so nice to talk to, like, gets everything, and I don't know if she does this for everyone, because I'm not in all the relationships she's in. But like, just can be there for you in the way you need every time. And I don't know if she tries or if she just is that way, I don't know, but it's very magical. Like I could see why she has so many best friends.
