Isla Fisher's 'Ick' Is Extremely Specific

Isla Fisher shared her ick with her costars.
"I have a dating ick that happened recently," Fisher explained. "I liked somebody. His dog ran away, and he chased his dog, but instead of chasing upright, he ran low with his hands outstretched. Like a cartoon! Like the ick was growing and growing, and by the time he caught the dog, he had lost the p----."
Faris, loving the gestures Fisher was making, said, "I wanna give this a try," before getting up and acting out what the Confessions of a Shopaholic actress had described.
Michelle Buteau Also Shared an Ick of Hers

Michelle Buteau also shared one of her icks.
"I dated this guy, too big of a d---. It looked like an Ikea hook," the First Wives Club actress said. "But then he really sealed the deal when he paid for two cosmos in quarters. All of your laundry money, gone? There's no way I can fully sit and spin on this in good faith."

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen's Relationship Timeline

Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen were together between 2001 and 2024.
The Now You See Me star and Borat creator first met in 2001, got engaged in 2004, then welcomed their first child, per People.
They tied the knot later, in 2010, the same year they welcomed another little girl. In 2015, they became parents for the third time, to a baby boy.
But in 2024, their "couple goals" image came crashing down when they sadly shared that they would be divorcing. "After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down," they wrote in a statement at the time (via The Independent). "We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy."
The divorce was finalized in 2025.

The four actresses star in 'Spa Weekend.'
If you're wondering why Fisher, Buteau, Faris and Mann were paired for a podcast discussion, it's because they're starring together in the new movie Spa Weekend, which came out on August 21.
The movie is the story of three friends going on a much-needed spa weekend. Fisher isn't invited because of the chaos she wreaks everywhere she goes... but shows up anyway, of course.
