Dear Jake and Amir, what to say to you, I need advice, you have to up my game, my barista's pretty cute, I died on the Starbucks floor
You dedicated one hour a week to help us out, just you two crazy Jews when you hear
You knocked me out, I fall apart, I thought I was the master
You make up names for all the questions, you'll goof and gap at eyes, you'll even laugh at eyes
Even though most of it is just digression, we listen just for you
We go down low for you and you give us bad advice, if I were you
Christ, that was incredible
That was really good, that was Giordi, G-E-O-R-D-I-E
Giordi, with a dear Theodosia from Hamilton parody
I feel like we can't do a show now
Oh because it's too sweet
We can't top what the theme song was
Yeah, when you get someone with a good voice to do a parody of a really sweet, great song, it's just as powerful as the song itself
Yeah, good lord, we didn't deserve that
Giordi for listening
Can you do another Hamilton one next? What are we thinking?
Wait for it?
Oh, what's the one with... I want to do the...
Shit, it's the one that the women sing
Oh yeah, not never be satisfied
No, not that one, but that one's also dope
Actually, if you could just do an entire hip hopper parody, what would you rather have?
A voice as good as the guy that was singing, or to be able to dunk a basketball
Voice, 100% voice
Really?
Yeah, because I can already dunk
No, voice, that's like...
You'd rather have a great voice than like a 42 inch vertical
Yeah, because the 42 inch vertical impresses you
Yeah
And like a bunch of guys that we hang out with
The voice is sort of like universally
Yeah, I would definitely rather dunk
What a great feeling that would be to throw down a two hand jam
I guess I... yeah
You never see bad basketball players dunk
Like someone that doesn't know how to play basketball, but is six feet tall and just happens to have a 45 inch vertical
So like, I can't dribble, I can't shoot, but if I like have a running start, I can dunk a ball
Oh, that's... I guess that's true
Like a gymnast or somebody else that like needs to jump really high
Or a high jumper
Right
Yeah, if we can find like a Cuban high jumper that can jump really high, dunk the ball, but can't play basketball
We're getting so far off message right now
Sorry
Where did this come from?
Theodosian
This is your other podcast that you want to host
Find a dunker
Would you rather this or dunk?
Oh yeah, Jordy already said his name
So, what is this? This is an advice podcast
It's called If I Were You
This is the only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us
I'm Amir
I'm Josh
We've had a lot of episodes, not a lot, but we had a few episodes in a row
Guests, a live show, but this is the first one in a bit that's just straight up
You and I
Back to basics
You and I in a little toy shop with a bag of balloons with the money we bought
Yeah, I'd rather dunk than do that
For sure
99 red balloons
So, what happens on the show? People will email us
They're in need of our advice
We do our best to dispense our wisdom
It goes over really well for all parties involved
Oh, you know we should mention
Yeah
That is our subscription thing
That's true
So, we found out recently
We sort of knew it, but we didn't know it was this specific
That if you get, let's say 5,000
5,000 people
Let's say that because we think that's actually the number
Okay, if you get 5,000 people to subscribe to your podcast in a day
You'll have the number one podcast on iTunes
Which is above Radio Lab, Joe Rogan, This American Life, Invisibilia
Really important, big, cool, great shows
Anybody opening their podcast app for the first time that day will
Basically automatically subscribe to our podcast
Borderline accidentally
And I want to say it's like we're taking advantage of the system
But it's not like we're making bots that subscribe
We're actually asking our fans who do listen to the show
But might not necessarily subscribe on iTunes
So let's say we get in this first day
35,000 people will listen to the show
Great number
If we get one in every seven of them, you listening
To subscribe on iTunes
If you're listening to the show on SoundCloud
Or if you listen to it on Spreaker
Or I don't know how people fucking do this
Another app, whatever
However you're listening to it
If you go to iTunes.com on your browser
If you go to iTunes.com slash head gum
Or go to the Used iTunes podcast
That's the native app on most of your phones
Yeah, you can find a link to our show
And then you hit the subscribe button
And then when you subscribe, it'll let iTunes know
Oh, somebody new is subscribing
We'll give them a little micro rank
And if 5,000 people do that
We'll have the number one podcast on iTunes
We'll get up to the top
We'll have a fast pass
We're asking you guys to help us cut
But I think that as our loyal, loving fans
Who we adore and cherish
This is a huge boon to us
True
It's like we're asking for money
But not money, but a little bit of your time
We're asking for growth
Legitimately, this is a way
That you can help us out and help us show out
It's a vote of gratitude
It's a vote of confidence
That'll give us more exposure
So people will be able to find the show
I like the idea of everybody listening to our show
For the first time doing this
Exactly how we gave the system of iTunes
So I'm going to delete this actually
Cut this part out because it doesn't
Be who of us to have it
Should we call this a moral gray area
Or do you think it's fine completely?
I think it's completely fine
I challenge anybody to think that it's not
Yeah, we're asking already our fans
People are listening to the show
Yeah, we're just saying if you like the show
Let other people know about it
Which is what people do passively
You'll hear at the end of the show
Oh yes, rate and subscribe
But those two words just gloss over people
So we're like stop right there
We know you didn't hear that
Actually subscribe
For right now it doesn't even matter if you rate
Just subscribe, it's fine
We'll talk about rating another time guys
Which isn't to say ratings aren't good
Let's start the show
So these are real emails from real people
We're going to keep them anonymous
Give them fake names to preserve their anonymity
I wanted to game boy it up this episode
Oh the game boy
You wanted the game
I wanted the game
But I had one question that I think we should answer
Without the game boy
Back I go
Back into my little cave
Back from whence I came
Why do you say my name?
Why even summon me
This was a waste of my time and yours
The game boy charges $450 an hour
The game boy is actually a very high priced attorney
I bid you adieu
Gunshot to the head
It doesn't do anything because he's a robot
So I found a good question
That I think we should answer
Before we even get to the game boy
Which is
Let's call this guy
Andy Murray
Andy Murray writes
Long time fan first time writing in
And I got a pretty simple but surprisingly tricky question
For you
My question is this
How do I get girls to like me
If I'm simply not funny
I'm a social guy and I have plenty of friends
But truth be told I've never been a funny person
And I find this has become quite a problem
When trying to get the ladies to like me
Especially on Tinder
I'm not sure if y'all will be able to answer
Since it's literally your job to be funny
So it might be hard to put yourself in my shoes
But I'd love to hear your collective thoughts on my predicament
P.S. I moved to New Haven for the summer
What up
And if Jakey has any suggestions of places I should check out
I'd love to hear that too
So
New Haven
What's the closest you've gotten to being not funny
Um
I guess there have been a couple of times where I went out
On dates where
People just like weren't amused by my sense of humor
Yeah
But that didn't make me feel bad
It made me feel like well fuck
This person
Yeah they're wrong I'm right
My jokes rule your jokes drool
Um
I sort of had this experience
Watching Batman vs Superman
A few weeks ago
I was like watching Lois Lane
She's in a relationship with Clark Kent
I was like does he ever make her laugh
Or do I deserve her
He is Superman
But it doesn't seem like
He has very much fun
He's got the weight of the world on his shoulders
He can save the day but when they're eating dinner
Is Lois cracking up
Or smiling at her
They're very very quiet
What a dramatic relationship they have
I do
But I mean there are people like that who are just like
I'm a pretty serious guy
Or a pretty serious girl
I don't like to laugh
That's interesting right
Imagine a serious girl
Marrying a serious guy
What's happened a lot
Are most people do you think funny or serious
I think most people
Shit it's probably pretty even
Most people like us we crack jokes
Make bits too much
And then there's friends of ours that aren't comedians
But they're funny they can hang
I think it's like
Even people who aren't funny
Sometimes have a good sense of humor
They know what they like
I think about friends of mine who aren't
Comedians or don't even crack
Really great jokes but they have
High comedic taste
Because they think I'm funny
Ben Schwartz is one of them
Like he's kind of funny but like
Right but he's not a writer
Actor type
Yeah he's nebish and quiet
Takes himself very seriously
He's a poet
People don't know but Ben only wears black turtle necks
When he's out and about in Los Angeles
You'll make a joke and Ben will nod
That's funny I get
Like he has a good sense of humor
But yeah it's weird to think about
Yeah some people legit
They must go through days without joking
Or laughing
What is that?
I haven't smiled yet today
Which is fine
For them they look at me and they're like
You haven't cried today
People don't cry every day right?
I don't know
But I've cracked jokes to a bank teller
Before and they laugh and they're like
Thanks I needed that
Like oh god you did
Like I really needed that
I needed that like well good
Almost too much
Can you keep up? Go away sir
I can do the honey duddy
Your card was declined actually
Oh right
You've overdrawn
No I can't turn it off
Even if it's just me
Did you get your yuck yuck today?
I hate myself
So this guy
Can't make anybody laugh
It makes approaching people hard
I hope he's handsome
I hope he's like a hot nice guy
Because I know some hot nice guys
That aren't funny
He must be because like don't you develop humor
As like a
Only ugly people can be funny
It's some kind of like evolutionary
Thing for like ugly people
To make sure they can procreate
Otherwise ugly people wouldn't
Be around today
The ugly, unfunny people
Died out in the middle ages
Yeah because they couldn't find anybody
With Napoleon
Yeah but then there's some magic people that are like
Oh I'm a handsome talented actor
Athlete but I'm also really funny
Right that's like the Rick Fox
Yeah and you're like wait why do you
You can't be funnier than me
And then also be a good everything else
He can sing too
He's also been on so you think he can dance
Or dance with a star
He's a good dancer too
He can move, he can sing, he can be funny
And he can fuck
He can dunk and funk
Yeah
Did we answer your question
Rick Fox is better than all of us
So what can you do
What do girls, or I should say what do people like
If not a sense of humor
It is actually hard for me to relate because that's
When I had nothing I still had that
Like when I was a greasy ugly
Tween with braces I still had jokes
I think you just have to think about
What you are passionate about and what you do like
Yeah people like sincerity
And genuineness
Everybody has triggers that make them
Animated and earnest
And so maybe it's not like you
Cracking jokes at anything but maybe you just want to talk
To somebody about what are your triggers
And you find out what their triggers are
Talk to somebody about politics or movies
Or music
You know it's good as to be a good guy
Like you know how there's some people that you're like
That's a good guy, he's just a good guy
I know a lot of good guys
You know a good way to be a good guy
Is just work on a good laugh
Oh people like a good laugh
You can't fake being funny
But you can definitely fake laugh
At other people's jokes
And if you are a good lapper
And if you've got like a big old smile
And you encourage people who are funny
And you encourage people having fun around you
Then you're a good guy
Yeah it's like you're a good team player
You don't necessarily shoot but you can dish it out
If you don't have a good laugh
I think
Since we make jokes we can at least give suggestions
About what a good laugh would be
Like
If you laugh like a little Pillsbury doboy
Yeah I like to laugh
Sort of like a Japanese style porn
Like when
Oh
Like you're a little ashamed to laugh
Oh very coquettish
Yeah a little cute
Like the laugh right before wipe out
Like a
Wipe out
Right then people can say wipe out
That'll be your natural laugh
That's also kind of like Mario
I also like
Like a Paul Bunyan
Oh no Tim the Toolman Taylor that's better
Oh like what
Oh that's good
That's a good like gruffy laugh
Santa
Oh
Is ho ho ho Santa laughing
Or is that him saying hello
I don't know
Santa's a good example of a good guy
Like you never see Santa make a joke
Right but he's just like a good guy
And when he does they're very off color
They're pretty
Racially not like racist but racially insensitive
Charged
Ho ho ho that's really funny
Thanks Santa
So be a good guy
Be genuine
Basically all the things an asshole isn't
Yeah
Like not mean
That's fair
Billy
Billy is also funny
I had a friend in high school named Simon
He wasn't necessarily funny
But everyone loved him because he was a good guy
He's dead now
He is dead yeah
No he's still alive
Yeah
Now that we're done with this question
Uh
Let's bring out the Game Boy again
Oh
Me
I was just settling in for my long winter nap
You don't have to be offended
We accidentally brought you out
Now you want me
Yeah I think it's fine
We still want you around Game Boy
Because you didn't before
We did
You summoned me and then you exiled me
I didn't exile you
I was lonely I was cold and I was scared
For you to take a couple minutes off while we
Addressed it I thought the question was pretty
Yeah you thought it was pretty
I thought it was interesting how you summoned me
And then told me to fuck off
You're not talking like yourself anymore
Oh me the Game Boy
So the Game Boy is a game that we created
A character really that guesses
We have a gmail
If I were to show a gmail.com account
I can search the gmail
For a word
And the game is let's try to find a word that's only been
Used in one question
I really want to use two words
I know it breaks the rules
I can do a quote search
Open quote
I'm trying to decide
If I want to do run train or ran train
Mmm
Mmm
Let's do ran train
And then see if it doesn't come up
Damn it run train
Okay
Really? Jesus Christ
Everybody out there is a fucking hurt
Because they didn't
They didn't ever
Group fuck someone
Yeah
Because y'all couldn't run train
I guess if you're doing it
Then there ain't no problems to be had
About it
Uh
Yes
Fine
My new word is charcuterie
Charcuterie
It's a cheese and meat plate
Yeah with some fruit and some crackers
I don't even know how to spell that
How do you spell it
C-H-A-R-C-U-T-E-R-I-E
Charcuterie
Uh
Dab
Nothing
I didn't even look I did a
Google did you mean search
What do you mean?
It auto filled the correct spelling
How did I spell it wrong?
I don't know I didn't know
While you were talking I did that
Alright
This is a real poor showing of the game boy
Okay I'll think of another one
Kleenex
That's not a word
But I'll search it
One spam
And one question
I am the game boy
I have won the game
Yes dude
I'm 17 and I master
Kleenex writes
I'm 17 and I masturbate a lot
Just like you would expect
But what is unexpected about my stroke
Is that sometimes I get red pimple like sores
Upon the areas of my teenage trunk
These sores or whatever
Are sensitive to the touch
And make it difficult to masturbate when they appear on my penis
Not impossible though
I showed them to my doctor
I showed them to my doctor
And he said that since I haven't had sex yet
It isn't possible for me to have any STDs or anything
But this still continues to be an issue for me
Insert whatever name
Uh you two give me
Junior
Oh I see it's an issue for me and Kleenex Junior
That's the name it was Dick
This is like a mad lib of sorts
Uh I don't know if I somehow have
Herpes or something in a miraculous medical feet
Or if this is a product
Of doing it dry
I use a lot of tissues when I perform for myself
To the point of creating a makeshift Kleenex condom
Or possibly
This is a product of me being too rough and rowdy
With my root omega
Should I stop stirring my shake for a while
Start using lotion or something
Or get myself checked out or what
What would you guys do if you were me
I grew up watching you guys
And all the other college humor
And still go back to the old Jane episodes
And uh highly frequently
You guys are great and inspired me to be more creative
You really didn't need to share that
PS with everybody
This is the first time reading the
The question I didn't know that it would get
So complimentary
But thanks for writing in Kleenex
We appreciate it
Um
Subscribe to the show
He's not subscribed
This guy
He makes a little parachute of Kleenex
Around his dick
It sounds
Frankly it sounds like you're masturbating
Incorrectly
He's making a makeshift fleshlight it seems like
Yeah with dry fucking tissue
But Kleenex can be
Soft at the very least it's not like
The lotion fused tissues
I bet he's not like that
That could be really soft actually
I mean nobody teaches you
Tissue paper rubbing against your dick
Right but nobody teaches you how to masturbate
So it's tough to say what's right and what's wrong
I was taught how to masturbate
By whom?
Third grade teacher
Keep talking I'm gonna call the fucking police
What did he say to you?
Oh yeah he stayed after school one day
Okay Jake just keep talking please
We're rolling on this
I'm getting his number
Oh yeah I'd love to talk to him
Mr. Melanie taught all the boys
How to jerk it
He would sit Indian style while we watched
Oh it was the best
Regalus with some tails Mr. Melanie
Oh my doing it wrong
Show me the right way Mr. Melanie
Will we practice on him
Oh my Christ that's hot
Yes dude
All the new subscribers we got
Instantly unsubscribing
Yeah we're out of the top 200
How do you like that
Your podcast is deleted
What's beyond explicit
Uh
Yeah I mean you're masturbating
Badly
So what would you do
Would you say give it a few weeks off
To like recharge, regenerate
Yeah and at first it sounded like he had
Some kind of ingrown hair or something
And you know I've gotten
I've heard of chafing
Yeah when I was younger I would chave
Yeah and it would just burn
Yeah I mean there was
Sensitive to the touch
Of course
You want to let the injury fully heal
Whether it's chafing on your dick or like
I don't know a sprained wrist
The worst thing you could do is rush back from
Injury
You're compensating maybe
You're only going to exacerbate if you masturbate
Yeah exacerbate the masturbate
Or you start overcompensating
And then you'll injure your balls
Cause you're just squeezing the wrong part
Yeah the bottom of your chaff
Get the nail on the head
I think you gotta go lotion
You gotta go Vaseline or baby oil
Something real nice
I like to do a little Vaseline
Cause that basically heals any
Let me put some Vaseline on
Oh dear
Oh the Game Boy is being born
Oh I'm coming
What?
I did ejaculate
And I feel like
Yeah I see that
It'd be so cool if you'd just ejaculate with one
Pump like that
What's that?
A single pump chump
But like masturbating
So one thrust
You get so hard
So ready that you just go
Top of the dick
Oh not even a back pump
Just a down pump
Like
And then you get like so tighter on top
Like you're going to slide down like
Like a real greasy fire
And then just
Boom
Yeah dude
It's like imagine a full ketchup bottle
This 17 year old is already masturbating
Cause we started thinking about it
Yeah it's hard to not masturbate
When you're a teenager
Try to take a couple weeks off
See what happens
Your skin heals very quickly down there
You need like two days off tops
And then just maybe four days
And then you know
Don't coat your dick with tissue paper
That's not that hard
All you really need is to
Put it at the part
That ejaculates
The rest of your dick can be
You know not covered in paper
That'll be fine
You need to cut it
Don't cut it
Your dick is way too long
You need to cut it
Cut it
Your dick is way too long
You need to cut it
Where'd you get this cool rabbi?
He's really dope
He gave my son an infection
But he
My god is entrance music
He came out to cut it
Alright let's take a break
And we'll be right back

Use the force you will
I don't think that is one, but use the force you will
Oh yeah, so like
Please
Do or do not
There is no try, is that a Yoda?
I don't know
So please come out, those are going to be fun, fun, fun shows
And there's not many tickets left
The Dublin venues are kind of small
And while the British venue is large
We're close to a thousand tickets sold
So get them while they're not
Get them while they're not
What else
What else
I don't know, how are you doing
I haven't been hanging out
As much since we don't live together anymore
Oh yeah, we moved out of our house
Have we talked about that on the show?
I don't think that we talked about living on our own now
For the first time in two years, Jake and I
We're not roommates with each other
More than two years, isn't it?
That we've lived together?
It's like two and a half because we moved in together in February
Of like 2014
Oh yeah, two and a half years
Wow, it's crazy
I miss you, man
You're turning into a dog
What are you laughing
Yeah, man, I fucking love you, dude
I did see you openly weep
While you went home last night
Well, what we did was move into
Two separate one bedroom apartments
In the same complex
So it's the baby a step you can take
To not living with it
We're on the same building
Yeah, that's true, it's a two building complex
Actually three
It's a three building complex
Is it three?
So one building is
I think it's technically one
One big
Long unit
Yeah, but they're like
They have different names
I guess it's two different ways
We live in two separate one bedroom apartments
So we live together but separate
To get to Amir's apartment
I have to go in an elevator
Go down across a courtyard
So it's not okay
I really only see you at work
I haven't been to your apartment yet
I don't think I have
Just when we walked in for the tour
I had a dinner party last night
My invite must have been lost in the mail
Yeah, it didn't come up
I didn't even think to invite you, it's funny
Who'd you invite?
It was just like a bunch of my friends
I have the same friends
I was just like Heller and Marty
Those are two of my friends
Jesse's my friend
George Basil's there
Billy and Adam
We did this game
Where we were just like saying
What we fucking hated about you
Everyone did this
Fucking impression
One guy did
I know I say this a lot
He was blowing himself and we're like
That's her wins
We fucking
Like dumped mustard and relish
That's the guy who we said
That's her wins
Now I'm glad I wasn't there
We turned him into a fucking coleslaw
We're spraying mustard and relish
In the apartment
It was a fucking
A running train on Heller
It devolved into a food orgy of sorts
We're all so fucking overcome
With emotion making fun of you
I watched sports center
And I cooked a rice bowl by myself
A rice bowl
Just the bowl
You put a bowl in a microwave
You put like the plastic bowl
Me so soup out of at sushi restaurants
Into a microwave and you're like
I'm gonna cook a rice bowl
And I ate it with a knife
But it's kind of
We're living in like sad bachelor pads
It's like where divorced dads live
Yeah definitely
It feels a little bit like extended stay motels
Just like stark white walls
Yeah cheap refrigerators
With really light doors
Thin walls more than anything else
A carpet that always seems sort of
Maybe a little moist
Moist but also dry
And peeling at the same time
Have you noticed the tiles in the bath
The shower are fake tiles
It's just plastic in the shape of tiles
So it's not real tiles
We're talking about the floor
No I'm talking
If you take a shower
The tiles around the shower are all like
One piece of plastic
Yeah but the walls are shaped like tiles
Even though it's just plastic
And then the floor is just a giant
Flat piece of laminate that's supposed to look like bamboo
Right it's like sort of
It's colored like bamboo but it's like
You can lift it up like a sticker
Have you noticed how bad their system
For packages is
No I haven't gotten a package yet
I basically furnished my entire apartment
Using online shopping
For myself tables
You ordered an end table on Amazon
Yep on Amazon
On Overstock
You got your couch on Etsy
It's a shape like Mario
Artisan couch
So their system for packages
Is they just write it down on a big long clipboard
So you come in
And I ask if I have packages
And they just look through the clipboard
And it's like 500 units
It's 500 units and sometimes
So my name is on there like four different times
And they have to go through
It's like a word search too
I've missed like two or three packages
Because there's nothing
And then I'll like ask someone else later
And they find my name
It's just a huge list of names
You think it would be like electronic or digital
Yeah I asked yesterday
Are you guys going to ever upgrade this
And they said yeah
Good enough for me
Alright back into my sad little cave
Yeah I'm sure that's fine
But living downtown is really nice
Yeah living downtown is fun and then
I guess not living together is healthy too
Now when we tell people we don't live together
People are like oh that's normal
People usually assume you guys live together
Yeah before people assumed that we didn't live together
Or they make a joke like yeah they live together
We actually do live together
Oh my god is that alright
I thought you guys were in your 30s
No yeah we are
We are
Are you going to move out of this apartment
Are you trying to leave this apartment
To move into like a real place
I don't know I'm kind of lazy
So I enjoy the convenience of living
In a close but shitty apartment
Yeah and I don't want to
Spend any more money on rent
So I'm not going to get a better place
Yeah and moving costs money
Moving is the fucking worst
If you just don't have to move again
You should do that
I feel like I've gotten mature
For the last few years because I used to just
Not care about moving
Yeah I'll move whatever
I don't like this apartment anymore
I'm going to fucking move
And now just
I'm tired
I mustn't move
And now I finally have like money to do it
Yeah you just pay other people to move
But it's still hard
Alright
Rant over
Hashtag and rant
What? Nothing
I was trying to think of the HTML
It's like a bracket
Close rant
Slash rant
Alright let me think of a question
Let me think of a word that I can search
I got a good one
Goggles
I do like goggles
I bet you're going to see a lot of beer goggles
Oh yeah there's a question
We answered
Oh
I might have
There's two questions
But one we already answered
I'll call that a win
You've won the game
The game is now tied
Alright great
Let's call this
His
Email subject is will alcohol
Always fix everything
The answer is yes
We'll call this guy will alcohol
Ooh I like that
It's kind of a cool name
Hi Jake and Amir
So I've recently realized that every time I hook up with a girl
I'm always drunk
I don't know why I'm starting to feel guilty about it
Maybe I'm jealous of the inner Casanova
That the alcohol opens inside me
I know what must be happening
It gets the inner confidence
And not give a fuck swagger
I also think
I may have a face that is extra affected
Girls beer goggles
Is that a thing?
How do I channel my drunk game into my
Normal sober game
Love will alcohol
Okay
He's got a little self esteem issue
He thinks he has a special face that
Not as ugly or hot
But improves a great amount
When other people drink and see him
Yeah I know everybody looks better
When people are drunk
But I think I look extra good
It's an insult and a compliment
The angles are all right for
Blurred vision
Yeah he has like very
Small blemishes
That's sort of when you take your glasses off
And put on beer goggles
Disappear quickly
Yeah it seems like
If you get used to doing anything
You're just out of your comfort zone when you change it up
Like if you go out and you drink
And you meet people and that's like the way it's
Always been done
And all of a sudden you're trying to change it up
And do something sober
It's a little giant, it's a little scary
Social lubricant is a great name
It's very visceral
And true like just
Talking to someone sober
And having people meet feels like sandpaper
Is like grubbing up against sandpaper
And then you add alcohol and suddenly
Things are moving a little fluid
It's a little easier, things are slick
Not unlike the fake tiles in our bathroom
Just very shiny, slick and slippery
But how do you
Transition
I think what helps is
Being
Growingly sober with someone
So first time drunk
Second time a little less drunk
Third time sober
Suddenly you got good sober game
Then you go to the next person drunk
Then sober on the second one
Then maybe you can start dealing with people
At sober level
As with everything, you want to transition
Crossfade, dissolve
Into the ability to
Speak, interact and socialize
What you call a normal sober game
Yeah, I think it all comes down to
I guess I don't know if I
Completely agree with the
You know
The
The rungs you've laid out
Yeah, I think it's a rungs
I think it's more of
Right
That is your slogan, you're wearing that shirt
My ladder company
Not my former company, but the ladder company
Two rungs make it right
Yes
You make very short ladders
Stepping stools mostly
Anyway, can I party
Can I trouble you for a toilet
It's just that it's very hot out
I'm selling incredibly short ladders
And I haven't been able to take a shit
I am prairie dogging to say the most
And here we go
Out it goes
Prairie dog is on the loose
Can I shake it out on your stoop
I assure you
It's already trickling down my calf
And here it goes, very good
As you were
Trio
Amazing
A thousand dollars
Never mind
I think
It's
It's all about
You want to be responsible with alcohol anyway
But it's really about
Staying inside your comfort zone
And you feel more confident
When you've had a little
As you've said
Social lubrication
But the other thing that makes you feel comfortable
And confident is being around people that you know
And enjoy
So going out with your friends
And being affable
You know
When you're with a big group of people
And you just feel like you own the bar
And you feel like oh this is cool
When you're on fire
When you're having one of those nights
Those are the situations that you want to find yourself in
I feel like that transcends alcohol
It's just like comradery and people having fun
It can also be like different drugs
You don't have to do alcohol
You can go out and shroom
You don't have to
The rungs always involve two drugs
I shroom
In a pill
I took a pill in a bead
Oh that's really good
And I can dunk
To show a VG
I can dunk

I sleep with his dick in me
I taxidermied dick
Dear Jake and Amir
I was dating
What the fuck
Subscribe to the show
I was dating a woman for 10 years
10 years
And we recently broke up because
She made me miserable
You know how it is when you've been together that long
The thing is when we had sex she would moan
And groan about how big my unit was
She would beg that I only
Put it in just the tip
Because she couldn't take it
And the sex was amazing because of this
I felt like a stud with a giant hammer
She was the only woman
I've ever had sex with until we broke up
And I met a new woman who makes me happy
In so many ways
The problem is
When we had sex for the first time
The new woman was taking my
Shaft with ease and kind of a nonchalant
Attitude
I was shocked because I was so used to thinking
I was like a horse
I asked her if she enjoyed the intercourse
And she said yes
I asked her if I was the biggest
She had ever been with
And she kind of laughed and said I was
Average
I have been walking around the gym naked all these years
Just
Do silly dick puppetry
Thinking I was hung
My confidence is shattered
My question is should I get back with my ex
Who makes me feel like I have a giant
Trouser trout
Boom
But in every other way it makes me feel miserable
Or should I date this new woman
Who makes me feel like I'm humping her
With a breakfast sausage
But makes me happy in so many other ways
Thanks Dan
For not having found that
Should fire them all
How many emails are we down to now by the way
Fourteen four
Not fast enough kids
Hum
So this girl
Makes him miserable in every other way
Except for thinking that his dick is big
Or this new girl who called
His dick average but is great in every other way
We happen to have a lot
Of questions like this
Where the choice is between two
Bad situations
And I don't think that the girl that he likes
I think that's pretty clear
The one that he likes and doesn't
Make his dick feel big
To me it's like 400 pros
And then like one fine thing
Or like all cons
And then
The opposite of the size of his dick
Calling his dick average size is a huge con
I mean that's like
But you can only be with people
That want your dick to be big
Mmm
I don't think that
Well everybody thinks my dick is fucking huge
So I often have this problem
I know dude
I love that
I can't even answer this question
Because it's about a guy who's fucking hog
Isn't huge
I can't even read the question because my cock
Is blocking the screen
I'm cock blocking myself
40 inch cock
I feel like every guy
Has a smaller than average penis
Where they could have sex with everybody
And it would be fine or a dick that was so big
That they could only like
Get half of it inside anyone
Basically cause pain
I think the vast majority of dudes
Would choose ginormous dick
Doesn't it seem like if you can only get
Just the tip in that's not good
Why does he prefer that
I'd rather be able to
Slide into the DMs
Or in this case the VMs
Not a lot
Yeah I don't know
What the rationality is
You need to cut it
The male psyche
We just want to have massive
Painful cocks
I don't want a massive painful cock
I think slightly above average is the best size
Pen
You'd rather be in the 99th percentile
I am in the 99th percentile
I can't even say anything lower than that
Cause my dick is so big
I don't even know a number less than 99
You'd rather have a 12 inch
Dick than a 6
What's the question dude
Would you rather have a 12 inch
Dick than I have
Or what
Or be able to sing really well
And dunk
Shit
Probably came about because
Maybe your girlfriend had a smaller vagina
Or maybe this girl that you're with
I mean everybody's different shapes and sizes
So your dick might be big
Relative to somebody that
Like
Your ex
Had seen before
Maybe she hadn't seen a penis
Maybe this girl that you're with now
Has had sex with a guy with a big penis
So you seem average or less than average
But
How it feels
And the problem I guess
Is that because he feels like his dick is small
He's
Your dick is small
My dick's fucking
Sorry I don't want to get into this right now
But I have a vagina
I have a big penis and you have a string
Benus
I think the first thing you could do is
Maybe say something like hey
That's so fucking lame
I think just whatever
I think it's bad to have an average size dick
I think that's fine
It's literally a fine because it's average
And I know it sounds like I have an average size dick
Which I don't
I feel like people are smart enough now to be like
If someone is insecure enough to ask like hey
Is my dick big and they say it's fine
They mean it's less than
I mean I don't even know what the motivation behind it is
Just lie and say that it's big
You're giving advice to the girl now
Don't ever tell me that my dick is average
I think that this guy
Should look up other dicks
Measure himself
See if in his eyes
How does he measure up?
Yeah like is your dick big enough for you
That's all that really matters
Because if you got the confidence to use it real well
Yeah dude
The confidence
And then also just know that if somebody
The dignity
Yeah the dignity
If somebody makes you feel less than
Equal to
You don't have to go back to the X
Who thought your dick was big but you hated
And you don't have to be with somebody that you mostly like
But makes you feel inadequate sexually
There are other people
And that's what growing up in being in relationships
Is there's somebody out there that
Will make you feel like a Casanova
And
Also is
Emotionally and intellectually engaging
They do yeah
Okay that's good
You have to choose a vegetable
That your dick is shaped after
Sure
Worst one is probably
The snap pea
It is thin
It is tri-bumped
It is salty and it is furry
That is true
It's hard to get all the juices out of it
Carrot
Yum
That's what's good
Like something long and thick
What's more
Carrots are thin
Your penis that you would rather
Baby carrot
You're thinking about
I said a fucking potato
Potato
Bitch
Cucumber
A big thick watery cucumber
My dick is actually
My dick is actually a fucking parsnip
Yeah well my three watermelons
In a fucking row
That's actually really
Pumpkin nuts
Pumpkin nuts
That's right
Jack-o-lanternuts
I have got two fucking pumpkin nuts
Like little
Decorative little gourds
Not little
The kind that win the state fair
The blue ripping pumpkin balls
That come in on a wheelbarrow
That grow all lopsided
Strangely
Because they can't stand their own weight
Yeah
Elephant tightest of the shaft
And balls
Gross
Luckyest man in the universe
Right here
Me with a deformed cock
Bigger than a cat
I hate that
Yeah it's a Volkswagen Beetle
