Oh no...I got "The Ick." What do I do now?

So you got 'The Ick?' That feeling of disgust when someone your date does something that you just can't look past. You think it's about them, but is 'The Ick' actually about you?

Brittany is joined by B.A. Parker, co-host of NPR's Code Switch, Corey Antonio Rose, a producer for It's Been A Minute, and Josh Rottman, associate professor of psychology and a disgust expert. They discuss what 'The Ick' is and what it's really about.
