It's our duty to tell our annoying friends they're annoying. Ft. Sydnee Washington
Summary
Sydnee Washington arrives with a mission: friends need to call out their annoying friends. She rattles off a comprehensive list that includes people who slap you while laughing, talk too close with stale breath, watch TikToks without headphones, and interrupt constantly. The germaphobes living in New York City? Annoying. People who start podcasts? Also annoying, even though she admits she has one herself. Kareem points out the irony throughout, especially when Sydnee says "I love you" too much is annoying right after showering him with compliments. The conversation gets messy when she declares friends who date men are the worst, leading to an awkward moment where Kareem stays silent. She calls him out for not jumping in to save her. He's not having it.

I think it's our duty to tell our annoying friends they're annoying.
100% agree.
I made a list of very annoying things that people do that I'm like, "Nobody told you to stop doing that?"
Let her cook.
The physical laugh. The one that's like—
"You just knocked the laugh out of me, sir."
Wait, I'm doing it right now.
I can't stand it.
How much is acceptable?
Don't touch me. Just laugh. Haha. Well, when you're slapping me, knocking my wig off, I don't like that. That's that's rude. [laughter]
Their friend that talks too close. You know that's one, the one that's like they got to be like this. Their breath is always stale. That's annoying.
Let her go.
Watching TikToks without your headphones on.
That's bad.
I do that. My friends—
You are annoying.
The TikToks calm my nerves. I know it's annoying. That's more about me. I'm, I'm projecting.
I kind of see you giggling in the back seat.
Okay. The germaphobes. You live in New York. Dirty city. You a germaphobe. Stop. You're like, "Oh, you can't drink off of me. You kissed a random man in Dave and Busters. You a germaphobe." [laughter]
That's annoying. Okay. Um—
That's a long list.
The friend that always interrupts in conversations. They won't let you get a word in. They're like, "Well, I got something to say." I said, "Well, you need to say less. Let us say something." I know you're opinionated. We love that. But why don't you start a podcast? Oh, also the friend that starts a podcast. That's annoying. Not everybody needs to know what you're thinking.
Don't you have a podcast?
I do. [laughter]
I do. It's annoying. You, you hear half of the things on the list.
Um, the person that's always saying I love you.
When I saw you today, I said I'm so happy to see you. You look so good.
Yes.
You're awesome.
Yes.
So was that annoying or was that—
No. No. I deserve that. You should have said a little more. I— [laughter]
Didn't say I love you.
Actually, the people who don't give enough compliments, that's annoying. Do you know what's annoying? Friends that date men. Oh my god. Can we stop? You date men? It's going to be bad. Every time you tell me something, I'll be like, "Leave him. Leave him. He doesn't like you and he's going to embarrass you. You might want to be asexual. Some of them need to close it up. Shut it down. Not, you know, I'm not shaming. I'm just saying it's like—
All right, now you made it weird. Usually you have something to say.
I was letting sometimes you jump in. Oh, now you going to let me die right here. Wow, what an ally. I was letting you see a straight man. Annoying. Annoying.
We're not friends anymore. [laughter]
