If I were you, if I were you I'd know exactly what to do
So trust me, I'll trust in you Listen to my dope and fire
You seize the cheese, then bounce out gracefully
Are you ready for some money? Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
You seize the cheese
You trust me
I trust in you
I love it so much because it sounds like it's like
his voice should be singing some kind of like cool love ballad
and he's like, you seize the cheese, seize the cheese
What does it sound like? Dave Matthews?
It's like Dave Matthews means stained
The greatest band in the history of time
Oh man, his voice is great, it's like really deep
Do you remember the guy's name?
Oh no, I don't
Me neither. Let me check right now
Trenton Eliopoulos
There it is, and you guys, he made a really funny or weird video
I don't think he wanted it to be funny or weird
What do you think he wanted it to be?
I think he wanted it to be sincere and good
He threw a banana off a roof, I think, isn't that?
That's the definition of comedy, I think
Wait, it's on YouTube, it's called
Seize the cheese if I were you, Jake and Amir theme song
There you go, search it
You trust me
I trusted you
Oh yeah, I trusted you
Seize the cheese
What song does it remind you of?
Oh man, when we were at Rec Room yesterday
Brian was like, it reminds me of Stained
What's a Stained song?
I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
It reminds me of, God, what's that?
Sort of like a Creed song too
Or Incubus
It's so much better
When everyone is in, are you in?
What song is that?
It's Incubus
You loved Incubus, didn't you?
I loved Stained in whatever, Creed
I really think his voice sounds kind of like
I think it's Scott Stapp
What's a Creed song?
Can you take me higher
You trusted me
To a place where blind men see
Seize the cheese
Everyone stopped listening
This is a mash-up, I think
This episode is a goddamn mash-up
I feel a mash-up of myself
We should say that this is a best of episode
So we're just going to play questions that we've already heard before
Do you think we'll ever do that?
God, I hope
I hope we hate our fans that much that we'll do that
No, they do that on Car Talk sometimes
Where it's like, hey, let's take a look at this one
This one was our favorite one
Yeah, they usually, they host it
Well, the one that I heard was like
On Mother's Day
And their mother had passed away
She had called in a couple of times
Over the cheese
That's still cheating
They should have done an all-new episode
You dick
Well, it's like how my least favorite
Simpsons episodes were just clip shows
Oh my god, I remember that
That was the worst
I think they did one a season
Which is one every 24 episodes
And this is episode 24
Is that true?
So this should be a clip show
And now it will be
Remember this guy who found a bird in a box
I still want to do that thing where we
Call people who have taken our advice
Right, and see how it goes
So if you've like
If you've followed our advice
If you wrote in, got on the show
And followed our advice
Email us again
And like, I would love
We want to talk to you on the podcast
And find out how it went
What happened
And then like, update everybody
I think that'd be really fun
Yeah, we've answered
Probably over 100 questions by now
Yeah, that's another thing they did on Car Talk
This show I wanted to be exactly like
Car Talk on NPR
They'd like call somebody up
And be like, oh yeah, we told you
Your carburetor was messed up
And you took it to the shop
And what happened?
They're like, yep, it wasn't that
And they're like, oh no
Only in our version
It's like, hey, we told you not to get tested
For herpes
And you're going to check without protection
Hey, whatever happened with that?
Sorry, no, this is
This is Rob's mom, he's dead
Oh no
We're suing you
Alright
Hang up
Because then it won't count in a court of law
Alright, next question
That is not good logic
It counts
It all counts
In a court of law
This is if I were you
The only advice podcast on the internet
Hosted by us
I'm Jake
And I'm Amir
And yeah
I don't know
No, you'd know, right?
I'm at a loss
I really am
No, now we have to do the podcast
I really am
Stumped
Really?
Yeah, I know we scripted out this entire episode beforehand
And I sort of forgot
Do you not have the script?
What my line is at this point
No, you're reading it, that was it
Oh yeah, what my line is at this point
You're reading right now
Okay, so here I am
Alright
Okay, so anyway, the way the podcast works
Is we accept your emails
Of people who are in
Little desperate times or desperate places
And they resort to desperate measures
AKA emailing us
Desperate measures?
They aren't desperate faces
That's another name of this podcast
Desperate measures
Yeah, that's true
You think desperatemeasures.com is taken?
Desperate leasures
It's vacations that you really desperately need
Yeah, or desperate pleasures
That's definitely a porn site, right?
Yeah, probably
Desperatepleasures.com
I guess like anybody going to a porn site
Is a desperate pleasure
Otherwise you wouldn't be going to a porn site
So these people email us in with their
You know, sticky situations as we call them
And we do our best to advise them
Out of their terrible places
And that email is
Ifirushowatgmail.com
We try to read
We do read every single one
And we try to filter down the ones
That we love the most
And want to answer the most on this podcast
And that's usually four or five per episode
So let's get started
Alright
We're going to give you
Give you guys a fake name
To go along with your real email
So don't worry, nobody will know that it's you
For example, this one comes from someone
That I'll call
Macbeth
Macbeth
What do you think the theme of today's episode is?
Some Disney shit
I haven't seen Hercules
Or Mulan in a minute
So I don't know if your reference is in the last shit
The last Disney animation I saw was
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
And that was a little too gay to keep going
So I don't know if Macbeth
Is being a dude on that
Alright
Hey guys
I'm from England
And I'm
Excuse you
I cleared my throat away from the microphone
Yeah, but it picked up actually
It really did
If anything, this is a bigger interruption
What you're doing right now
Hey guys
I'm from England
And I'm kind of rich
And went to a private school
I'm about to start university
And I haven't really socialized with many
Poor people before
And I'm worried I'll be awkward
Will people expect me to buy the drinks
And stuff like that?
Please help a brother out
Cheers Macbeth
So
How rich is this guy
That he doesn't know how to act around a person
Who's, I don't know
I'm worried that I won't be able to act around
A normal or something
A poor
This does sound like a Disney cartoon
I consider everyone a peasant
To me I'm a prince
And they're a pauper
I don't know if I speak their language
I'm afraid I'll turn my nose up
And throw change at some of these people on campus
For fear that I'll mistake them for a homeless pauper
I will throw a doubloon at them
He said kind of rich
But it sounds like he's the richest person in the world
Much like Macbeth was in Macbeth
Oh, interesting
And he had a bit of a tragic downfall, didn't he?
I don't know if Macbeth was actually rich
Or if Macbeth was from England
Wasn't he the king of something else?
I mean, I can't remember now
Damn it
I should have looked it up
So I can appear as though I knew it all along
So you can appear smart
Are you okay?
Excuse you
My phone just went off
How is that fair?
U.J. cleared his throat
And it was a bit of a distraction
And my phone's gone off
And it's borderline ruined the show
Because I think my phone has never gone off
During a podcast recording
But then I think, wait a minute
I haven't received a phone call in probably three weeks
You got a phone call?
Yeah, I got a phone call
Who was it from?
My friend Josh
Yeah
That's shit
Damn it, I think I have to call back
Yeah, I haven't heard from Josh in a goddamn year
Josh?
No, impossible
That's just me listening to the voicemail
Alright, so
This guy
Another funny line from this guy's e-mail is that
He's worried he'll be awkward
But when you're worried about this being a possibility
You probably will be very awkward
Yeah, I can't imagine
How rich he is
Or looks that he thinks it's good
Like, are you walking around all the
Are you like wearing a king's robe
And a crown?
It's gonna be fine
King of Denmark, that's where Macbeth is from
Alright, cool
Let people know I didn't look that up
Especially if I'm wrong
Yeah, well everyone, if they look it up now
They'll be like, oh wow, I didn't look it up
Or it's just the top
Google result and then everything else below it
Is something different
Well here's the question, if he is rich
More noticeably rich
And he does buy people drinks, do you think that's a good thing
Or a bad thing? Do you want to blend in
And not like come off as the rich dude?
Yeah, I mean, who cares?
Well in college everyone's poor
Right, that's what you think
Or everyone's at least a little well off
Because they're at a college and college is expensive
Yeah, or at the very least their parents
Give them enough money to survive
So when you're at college, everyone's parents are rich
And every student's poor
I know, although there are a bunch of
Students that don't get any money from their parents
Right, no I'm just kidding
There's a huge
Variation, some people are rich
And some people are poor, just like the real world
It sort of prepares you for that
Yeah, I mean
I don't know
Just don't shake their hands, you don't want any of their
Poverty stricken diseases to creep up on you
Who knows what they have
I can't imagine how sheltered this guy's life is
He's like, I'm very worried about poor people
He's rich, he's rich
Yeah, are you rich, he's rich
Or are you poor, he's poor
I hope you lose all your money in college
And then, uh...
This guy's Scrooge McDuck
I'm spacing my dorm for my giant
For my giant gold coin collection
My chest of coins
So at home
I have a diving board where I dive into coins
Do I
Do I get that at college? Is that the gym?
How will I know if people, if my roommate
Will bring the coin chest or if I should
I'd like to do
Backstroke through
Through my billion dollars in coins
But I'm afraid it might come off weird to the pores
That's a really weird cartoon
Where Scrooge McDuck
Just would swim in his money
Yeah, it's not very likable
You're supposed to make your main character likable
But he was very likable
Scrooge?
For an old rich bastard
He was tough on the outside
But he was a good guy
He still swam through gold
In front of many, many poor people
You're not allowed to have
Like a huge
Safe of gold
Every episode of DuckTales
Scrooge
Scrooge got his money stolen
Just put it in a goddamn bank
Scrooge
No, I really like swimming in it
No, I know, but
Put half of the coins in a bank and make like a coin jacuzzi
Can I at least advise you?
You can have a coin waiting pool
I really want to be able to dive into the coins
You can dive into coins
It's a very deep pool
Make it six feet
As your financial advisor, I have to
I appreciate what you're saying here
What I do want to do
Is be able to do a high dive
Into all of my coins
How about we give you bills
No
Gold coins
The bills might actually feel nicer
They're at least softer when you dive into them
Breaks his neck
That was a college humor video
Yeah, that's right
In conclusion
Treat them as you would a normal
You bum
Yeah, Jesus
You bum
They're poor of money, but you're poor of
Poor of heart
Sometimes people
Without money
Treat rich people differently
Fuck off, man
No, they don't
I'm really offended that you even bring that up
That's a millionaire myself
I don't appreciate that
I treat you different
In fact, I'll give you a thousand dollars right now
To shut your mouth
He threw money at me
Here, take this
Paper cut in my eye
Take this ass
He's making it rain
Alrighty, Rue
Next question
People ever throwin' coins up in the air
Instead of making it hail
Dude, you need to get back on Twitter, man
I mean, that's legit
50-RT, 50-Fave
Shit right there, it really is
Yeah, I'm gonna make it hail
Quote, attribute the quote
To a guy throwing coins at a strip club
I'll give it to you
No, I don't really want it
I don't do 50-RT's, alright
I'm a triple digit motherfucker
He's throwing money at me again
Alright, alright, alright
Hey, now ladies
Now ladies
This question comes from someone who asks
What's cooler than being cool?
Ice cold? Yeah, ice cold
Alright, next question
Here it is, it's from
We'll call her Lady Macbeth
Still any ideas about the theme of today's characters?
Is it from...
No, it's not from...is it from Brave?
Some dickens shit
I haven't read that since high school
Alright, Lady Macbeth writes
Isn't that everybody's life question?
Yeah
How do I do me
While continuing to seize the cheese?
The trick is
Seizing the cheese becoming your job
Right now she's trying to seize the cheese
On the side
You gotta seize the cheese
Full time every day
If you wake up every morning
And you think of your job as seizing the cheese
If you aren't like, I gotta go to work
I gotta deal with my boyfriend
Then I'm gonna seize the cheese
There's not enough time to actually have the cheese be seized
This is you in 20 years
Being a motivational speaker
After I die
This is me in a retirement home sitting alone in a wheelchair
But in two years
Yelling at elder people
I'm in a mental hospital
There's the padded walls of his street jacket
The trick to seizing the cheese
It's okay, Jake, it's okay
Here's your shot
No, no, no
Ow!
My life is gonna be hashtag dope
Can you imagine having shit
Being taken care of for you like that?
You know, some people have been tweeting at me
That I'm a beast in that regard
I think that's gonna be my new catchphrase
Seizing the cheese
How do you become a beast in that regard?
Seizing the cheese
Well, this is how I view her problem
She's not the question
She has work, she has school
She has her boyfriend, who's generally unsupportive
And she has her stress relief, which is rock climbing
So I imagine her time is a pie chart
A big chunk of it is
school, a big chunk of it is work
A big chunk of it is her boyfriend
Which is unsupportive and unhumpful
And then a small, smaller chunk
Is the rock climbing
Sounds like the one you want to get rid of
Is the one that's generally unsupportive
And unhelpful
Isn't that the easier one to get rid of?
My advice to you is to re-read the email
And try to see it as clearly as we do
What else could we possibly tell you to stop?
Work you have to do
Because that gives you money
Studying to become an engineer
You know what you're working towards
Is a job where you'll see the cheese every single day
That's right
We're left with two things
One which you describe as a stress relief
And one which you describe as generally unsupportive
And unhelpful
Has a mountain ever been unsupportive
Or unhelpful?
When you send it?
You know what? You send that shit
So
Can you imagine if we were like
Give up climbing
We want your life to be a perpetual cycle
Of school work unsupportive
Unhelpful at night
And you just repeat that until you die
It's usually hard all day
Stress out all day
And then you can go home
And take in care of
So shake that bottle of two liter
Soda all day and then when you come home
Instead of squeezing the cap open
Just have your boyfriend shake it up some more
Go to bed at night even more stressed out
And then begin that process over and over
Until you die
Yeah who wants a stress relief
When you can have a stress
Period
Period
That's funny
She should have her
Hey chick
We appreciate
That you think your boyfriend's unsupportive
And unhelpful but
Have you checked the monthly calendar
And maybe it's that time of the month for you
Odds are you're not on the mend
You're on the rag
Anytime I've ever been accused
Of being a jerk
I swear to God I think that chicks had her period
Or some shit
If not her period then like the days before it
Cause like a lot of it can like manifest
Every single day
Every four weeks there's two weeks where
My chick is just like ragging it
She's ragging it so hard
And she's just PMSing
And she'll admit it but like not in the moment
She'll be like stop bringing it up
Don't say that it would be because of that
So sometimes I'll be like being a dick and like
My girlfriend will call me out on it and I'm like
Oh you're PMSing she's like no I'm not on my period
Like you're probably thinking about some time
Like oh my period's coming up
So I'm in a shit mood
I did
Yeah and then I'll pay her some cash
I'll give her a freaking like
Like a purse or some shit from Chanel
And they'll fucking get over in a goddamn heart
Yo girls love Gucci
Girls love Chanel
Girls love
Fendi
Girls love Fendi and Chanel
Fendi and Prada okay
You gotta understand and if they don't love that shit
If a girl doesn't like a Prada purse
Then she's on the rag
If a girl doesn't like a Prada purse
I give a girl a Prada purse
I say here's your tampon holder babe
We have to stop
I feel like if anybody started
Listening in the middle of that
And didn't realize that we were being
Assholes on purpose
They'd be like I feel like you could show that
Part of the podcast to like some
Some like asshole dudes
Would just love it they'd be like yes
Like every Tucker max fan
Well that's our way of appealing
To everyone
Yeah we like act as though these people
So they don't realize that we're making fun of them
They love it and then we're also appealing
To people who don't like those people
Or everyone hates us because people who don't like those
People are like these guys think they're being funny
But that's actually a sexist bit
And then people who
Who are actually sexist are like these guys
Are making fun of us next thing you know
Uh oh we have no listeners
Holy shit
I would consist
So wait yeah where were we
Uh get rid of your boyfriend
Yeah
That way you won't need to rock climb as much
Because he won't be as stressed out
You'll get rid of more time than you need
Or you won't have to worry about like maintaining your relationship
You'll just be climbing
You love climbing
I love climbing yeah
But you haven't done it in so long
I know because I broke my goddamn foot
And how does it feel now
To be perfectly honest it still hurts
But I also hated being on crutches
And that rolling scooter so much
That I'm afraid to go back to the doctor
You'd rather live the rest of your life like this
Than to spend six more weeks on a rolling scooter
I'd rather just wait
Until it gets a little more unbearable
And go see the doctor and ask if something's wrong
Which is what I did
Originally when I broke my foot
I waited for
Wait February, March, April, May
I waited for three full months
To go get x-rayed
And you were walking on a broken
Calcaneus heel bone
Yeah I had a calcaneus fracture
And I was just walking on it
I basically got it to heal
As much as it ever possibly would
Without a
Surgery
No without just like you know
Getting off it completely
And then I was like oh it still hurts
I don't know what to do I went to the doctor
He's like it's broken fractured
Like oh
Anyway walk
Use this wheelchair for the next six weeks
When you're in England and Iceland
Meanwhile you had just spent three months
At home anyway doing nothing
Yeah cause I couldn't really walk
But I would just like try whatever
Fuck me I suck let's go

Let's get one last question in before our break
This one comes from McDuff
Simpsons
McDuffman
Says a lot of things
What the fuck, I came back from a two month holiday
In New Zealand to find a dead owl carcass
In my bedroom floor
I have still not attempted to move it
It has created a pungent stench
That
The ought my house
I guess he means throughout my house
My friends think I should get it taxidermy
To display in my living room
Is it morally right to stuff a dead animal
Thanks guys
It's definitely hygienically wrong to leave one on your floor
This guy's from Scotland
Now that I think about it, maybe where Macbeth is actually from
Or McDuff
I don't know, it's something thematically relevant
Either way, it's not
Morally wrong to stuff
It's morally wrong to stuff anything other than a dead animal
A dead animal is the only thing that's right to morally stuff
And chicks
Yeah
Just like get like a freaking chick head
Like over my mantle
That's not what I meant
What did you mean?
Never mind
Is it morally wrong? Is that a thing that
People who are really into animal rights are against
If the animal is dead, I can't imagine
It being a problem
I feel like if you're against like animal
Hurt animals, whatever
People hunt animals and then have them
Stuffed or mounted, so they're probably against
That whole thing
If an owl died of natural causes
If you come across a dead owl
I can't imagine anyone has a problem with
Slicing the back of its rib cage open
Peeling it open like a book
And then putting in some sort of gauze until
It's torso is so stuffed
Full of that cotton
That it's plastered
In that petrified dead state
Being a taxidermy guy
Must be like
A taxidermist?
Yeah, that must be a really hard job
Cause like
I imagine it smells bad
I imagine it's kind of disgusting
And then also you have to like
Be sure to seal up everything
Just to make the animal never smells bad
That's hard
Every job except for ours is hard
Right
Like any real job is hard
No, it's probably easy to be like a toll booth operator
What you're dealing with is the
On-wee of being so bored on a day to day
Basis that you can't imagine where
One day ends and another begins
It's just so monotonous that
Your life
Professional golfer, that's easy
That one's tight
I'd be down to do that
If this podcast shit ever falls through
I'd be down to golf
That rich guy from question one is listening
He's like, what's a job?
What's a golf?
I only play polo and cash
I hunt man
The most dangerous game of all
Yeah, I mean I think you can stuff it
Be kind of cool
At least get it out of your room you fucking weirdo
I just love that
There was a dead owl carcass
God, how did that happen?
Yeah
I want to go inside to die
That's beautiful
We spend all our lives inside
I'd love to be outside when I die
Yeah, now it's just like
I want to be close to something
Exactly, for the first time in my goddamn life
I'd like to feel warmth
And I'd like to be safe
I'm like an owl in that regard
I'm nocturnal, I can't sleep at night
I would rather die in this guy's bedroom
Than live outside of it
Yep
I'm a lone owl
If you will
And I'm always asking me myself
Who am I?
Who will I love?
Who's gonna love me?
Who?
Who let the dogs out?
Who let the dogs out?
You turned so quickly there
Yeah
Aha man, isn't that weird
And he's back
I can turn on a dime
But I can't get one
I can turn on the dime
And I can never look back
That's why I'm fucking psycho
I'm liable to go psycho
Michael, take your pick
Alright
Break time
Let me stretch it out
You guys can't tell
There's a pantsless bent over
Touching his toes
I really wish I weren't seeing this
I'm doing nude calisthenics
Stretching it out
We should talk about how I do every podcast
In the complete buff
Yeah, complete buff
Because Amir, what you have to understand
Is that he drapes all of his clothes
Around his apartment
So I have nothing really to wear
At this point
Every day is my laundry day
I wanted to talk during the break about how
You got pulled over twice
In a span of
24 hours
This weekend was the Woodstock comedy festival
This past weekend
College humor had a show there
Josh Rubin
He helped
Put it on, it's his hometown
And Woodstock is great
It's this very cute small town
Yeah, it's this awesome hippie town
Where a lot of people went there in 1969
And never left
And now they still talk about it
It's really funky, it's in the Catskills
Beautiful town
And you almost got arrested twice
Yeah, well three times actually
If you consider the first day
Where the cops trailed the back of your truck
And never pulled you over
Let's start there
I drove my truck up
First day, day one
We're taking joy rides around the back roads
Because it's beautiful
I was blasting music
And there were four people in the back of my truck
Which isn't safe
No, it's illegal
It's clicking our ticket, you know
You need to get out of seatbelts
So we went to this amazing reservoir
Came back, we had
A two mile stretch on this main route
Where the speed limit was 55
So I was doing 55 with people in the back of my truck
Even in the back of the truck you mean the bed of it
People
Not allowed to be there
Like, oh, I'm getting pulled over
You were in the back of the truck
And you were like, do you have to pull over
I was like, his lights are not, I don't know
I don't know what to do here
So I just kept on going exactly 55
The exact speed limit
Took a left off the route
And he just kept on going
But that was just the prelog
To what was going to happen later that night
So then that night
Maybe that gave us the power to try it again
Right, I just felt so brazen
Felt like no one could touch me
You were invincible
So the next night
Oh yeah, that night
After the show
We celebrated there was like a VIP after party
I should just say after party
Fuck me
There was an after party
For very important people
For me
There was an after party for
Everyone who did the show
And we got some champagne
There was socializing
Hanging out
Then we were like planning on going to a bar
Like a local dive bar
Vinny is from the town over and he was taking us
Taking us there
I had you in my truck
Shabak in my truck
Maybe I shouldn't name drop people
But those people weren't breaking the law
And then there were two people who will remain nameless
But one of them is Rosie
We'll call him Macbeth and Lady Macbeth
In the back
Of the bed of the truck again
So we're driving there
Going down these back streets
Within two minutes
Sirens, I'm getting pulled over
Like oh fuck
I had a glass of champagne
You're not supposed to drive
Under any circumstances
So anyway
The cop comes up
Two people in the back of the truck
You know they're not allowed to be there
I know
Do you know why I pulled you over
Fuck there's a million reasons
Which one do you want
So
The car ahead of us
They get the two people out of the bed of the truck
And they didn't get tickets
I'm going to get their tickets
So
Maybe they get tickets and I get tickets
So then he asked me
If I had been drinking
Told me my license plate light is out
Asked me if I was drinking
I had a glass of champagne but I'm good to drive
I swear I got
You understand
You've been drinking man
He's like get out of the truck
Got out
Took a field sobriety test
This is the second time this year
That I've been in fucking trouble with the police
The Iceland thing
It's only when you leave New York
That you get across to my policemen
So three cop cars
All giving me
To a goddamn audience because the other car
Is still there
And me and Mike are in the car
Mike's sort of freaking out because he thinks
He might get arrested for driving
While intoxicated and I'm just laughing
Taking photos
Taking so many pictures
So I take the sobriety test
I have to touch the tip of a pen
Follow the pen with my eyes without moving
My head I had to stand on one
Leg and count to
I just count
This is one one thousand two one thousand
Until he told me to stop
I heard that because
The back window is open so I look
Outside and you're just like counting to twenty
I'm like wow it really is like they do in the movies
Yeah and then I had to walk the straight line nine paces
Pivot turn nine paces back
And uh
I mean I'm not trying to brag but I nailed it
Yeah I really did
I fucking really nailed it
I'm not even sure I could do that right now
It's count to twenty one thousand
One foot yeah and uh
And then but at the end
He made me blow into the tube
Which is what you call it when he asks you for
To suck his dick
Which uh
I mean I can't
I can't fake that right
And now to get off you have to
Blow my tube
Tell you what do you want me to blow into the
Do you want me to blow the breathalyzer or you
Officer it's very clear
What you're asking for the cuffs are on
Hey hey oh kinky I like that
Put me on my knees officer
Oh arrest me sir
Oh you want to do it in the back of the cop car
Hey okay
You getting into sir are we role playing
Is this road dome
Cause there's a goddamn gate here
Hey I'm trying to
Suck your dick man
You're gonna arrest me
You're gonna make it really hard on me
What about you you're a male prostitute I think
I'm suing you
This guy's drunker than I've ever been
Drunk with power
Fight the power
You fucking bully
So then I blew into the tube
And it came in back that I had
Had something to drink
Which I was honest about
But he so he was like
Go back into the
Into the truck
And then at some point
I mean like the whole time I'd been like
Friendly a little bit jokey
I felt deprecating that I was stupid for like
You know doing everything I had been doing
And I also like they knew that we were in town for the festival
So he comes back
And he's like
So um I should be giving you
All kinds of tickets I could have your car towed
But uh my partner here likes you
So
Get out of here
Like what zero tickets
Nothing untouched
Didn't the partner say so what do you guys do for college humor
Yeah yeah he did
I was just like this is amazing
We spin around go back to meet everybody
In a parking lot blasting JZ's
99 problems
Just felt like we really
Took advantage of them
So thank you so much Officer Jones of the Woodstock police
For letting us off
Jake was hammered and you just let it
As promised here's your shout out on the podcast
For your son
So we got off everybody
Is just like how does that happen to you
Cause everyone's like
Kind of happy that they don't have to deal with like bailing me out of jail
But everyone's also a little bit mad
Because like you get away with everything don't you
You shouldn't have done that
This is just coming off the heels of your STD exam
Being clean
So then I was like making jokes all the next day
Like yo bad shit doesn't happen to me
Like I'd be nervous but like I don't know man
Um I like everything works out for me
I'm a beast in that regard
Sam Rice texted me
It was like his
His wife Elaine texted him
And said nothing bad happens to Jake Hurwitz
Is a good name for a Nickelodeon show
And my novel
Because the next night
We got in trouble with the police yet again
Yeah
We were trespassing
Blasting music
On a bridge on a reservoir
Having a dance party
Me and Amir and our two friends just
Pulled over on a bridge
Blasting Santoria
They must have thought they pulled over
Like four sixteen year olds
Hey alright you little kids
Scram oh Jesus
You guys are thirty
I think I feel bad for you
You're already in some kind of jail here
Some emotional prison
You guys aren't sixteen you're
You're old enough to have sixteen year olds
Jesus
Tell you what we're gonna let you go but if you want to
You can jump off the bridge
So if you're looking for a job or a career
Can I suggest joining the force
It's pretty fun you pull people over
You don't give them tickets
Yeah you sort of do your deeds in society
And it seems like you guys are
Just suckling off the teeth of our resources
Not really doing anything with your lives
So they did run
They took everybody's license there
They ran all of our licenses
They told us we weren't allowed to trespass
They gave me yet another sobriety test
And then they came back to the window
And they were like here's what this is
Is a written warning
A notice of warning
And it means nothing
There's no record of it so what you can do with this piece of paper
Is have it framed or literally shove it up your ass
It is as of right now
More meaningless than the actual paper
It's printed on
They just told us not to come back and trespass that night
So we drove a hundred yards up pulled a U.E.
Left yet again blasting
Ninety-nine problems
I said it would be funny if you just like drove
A little wall after that
Right off the bridge
Good night America
We'll see how smart you are when the canine cuffs
Got ninety-nine problems
And then as a
Post script to that whole story
Streeter got three tickets from the Woodstock police
The very next day for not doing anything wrong
He was like waiting at a McDonald's
He was like yeah he was waiting at a curb
At a McDonald's to pick up friends
At a Woodstock comedy show for free
To raise money for like charity
And Streeter got three tickets
Did nothing wrong
Nothing bad ever happens to Jake Hurwitz
And everything bad happens to Streeter's side
Out
Those are the two shows that are on Nicket Night
All right
Good story
Should we try to squeeze one more question in
The moral of the story here though is do not drive drunk
And don't break the law
You have to understand only I get away with it
Yeah yeah unless you're Jake
Don't pull that shit
We should say that you weren't very drunk
You had one drink over the course of many hours
Right right I don't drive drunk
And you passed two sobriety tests
Yeah you don't drive drunk kids
And if you're gonna drive drunk be me
Yeah
Actually I'd like to test out my theory tonight
I'm gonna kick it up to two glasses of champagne
Champagne here we go
All right real quick last question
Ready? Yeah let's do it
This one comes from
Drive just clear my throat
And here we go let's do it
Jesus man
I'm not gonna be able to use that
You peek
Sorry about that
Hey dudes love the show
So oh wait this one comes from
William Shakespeare
The man himself
Holy shit the author himself
The creator
All right now I know for a fact it's Pocahontas
So
I've been going to this restaurant bar called Twin Peaks
It's very similar to Hooters
But the girls wear even skimpier outfits
I've noticed that there are
Some guys who have multiple waitresses
That always come up to them and sit next to them
And talk and flirt with them
I really want to have the same kind of interaction with these waitresses
It's not like these guys are really good looking or anything
So I'm not really sure why these girls seem to flock to these guys
At first I assumed that maybe
The guy was a friend of one of the waitresses
But it's not like they always go to the same guy either
I'm not looking to hook up with them
Since I'm in a serious relationship
I just want some harmless flirting
I'm kinda shy and the drinks don't seem to be giving me much liquid courage
What should I do?
This is so sad
Yeah
Um
This guy is 12 years deep
Writing this question from his phone in the bathroom
Of Twin Peaks
How are the outfits skimpier than Hooters?
Hooters is like as close as you can get
Before calling it a strip bar legally
This probably just is a strip bar
So yeah, the outfits are even skimpier than Hooters
If you can imagine
They'll bend over and spread their ass cheeks
In front of me
They'll pick up a wing with their VJ
So nowhere along the line did this guy think
That maybe these dudes tip the waitresses
And maybe the waitresses
At Twin Peaks are flirting with people
In skimpy outfits
Sitting on laps to get tips
By the way, this guy is describing
What would be my biggest nightmare
Which is going to Hooters and have a waitress flirting with me
I would hate that so much
I want to be this guy
I want to be this stripper repellent
Um
Maybe I talked about this story on the podcast
But I went to a strip club for the first time
Um
Jeff Rubin had never been to a strip club
I think he's okay with me telling this story
Because he did nothing wrong in this
But I was there with Jeff Rubin and Pat
And uh
They like
They felt uncomfortable in a strip club
That was like not their home
And I'm just like
I'm fine there
And some lady came over
And she was strippers
This is what happens
She was just like can I sit on one of your laps
And point it to me
So what does this guy do
To be the guy that people point at
Just be confident
I don't know
I think
You have to go there a lot
And start tipping them
And then eventually realize
They don't have real
It's money
But you don't have to have a lot
Of interest with your tipping
Because this is Twin Peaks after all
This isn't Hooters
This isn't a classy joint
Yeah
Have you ever been to a Hooters?
I've been to a Hooters once in San Diego
We've been to a strip club before together
Yeah
But it's not like they were bumping
And grinding on me
You wouldn't pay someone for a lap dance
Yeah, no I would not
I've lost Jesus
Actually
This is a funny story
At Spearman Rhino in Vegas
Bouncer cut off my thumb
Why?
Because I was like I paid $2,000 for a lap dance
And I didn't pony up the cash afterwards
My card was declined
But I had set up the chair
Just so they couldn't barge into the room
Till I was done
And then they came and I said
Good luck getting money out of me
I ain't got it
And this is like
I had a giant gin stain in my jeans
And I was like yo I already got off
So I'm out and they were just like
What is this?
And then it's just like
Put my thumb on a coffee table
I was like what the fuck are you doing man
What the fuck is this?
And then chopped it right off
Put it in a bag, gave me some ice
And they told me which way the hospital was
And I was like really it's like that
You ain't even gonna call me an ambulance
My phone's dead
And then I like fainted on the way to the hospital
Turns out the dancer
She felt bad for me
She followed me out there to see if I was gonna make it
She saw that I wasn't
She thought that you weren't gonna make it
Yeah she knew I wasn't gonna make it
She called 911 from her phone
I got the thumb surgically reattached
Yeah it all worked out man
It did not all work out
Yeah then I got a free lap dance
That's worth it to you
Cut off your thumb and surgically reattach it
For a lap dance
I got that health insurance thank you IAC
Nothing bad ever
Happens to jaker
But if it does it all works out
