Very plain is what I'm saying. Yeah, baby. This is just like a pair of dockers if it were a room
There's a lot of negative energy a lot of negative space. There's not a lot of intimacy
I see a lot of smiling faces, but I feel so far from you Indiana
You belong in a museum
You're looking good feeling good. I just want to do crowd work. It's great. I have a front-row seat
I don't know. Are you are you somebody?

Told me my whole life stand up and take your shirt off sir. I wouldn't believe you could be Scott Pilgrim
Anything you want
Confidence just a regular kid from Canada. That's fine
Okay, I know it's a visual medium. So I'll stop is that a what are you I
Sincerely hope you're somebody not just here to bomb us all just a guy in a cave
The guy's wearing a ski mask
With a black hoodie. Yeah, that's the last thing. I'll see before I die. I assume

He didn't know you was a comic-con. Yeah
That is that's very creative and a living in the Chavitt Center all the time
Blends in four days a year. All right, let's get started. All right, let's do it first question
We're gonna give this person a fake name just because we don't want to out him as a real human
So we'll all about you super grover. Yeah
Matt you
What's your name, sir?
Yeah, okay, so BJ right BJ
BJ rights
I have this best friend who started going out with this girl a few weeks ago
They seem to have a nice relationship
But the thing is she's been given me these sexual looks sometimes the kind of looks that say I want to bang you I
Think we all know that look I
Not exactly like this girl, but hey sex is sex
Should I leave these sexual advances unanswered or should I mount this girl hard core?
If I go for it, how do I stick this chick without getting caught? Thanks for the help love BJ if I only
Even if I didn't know anything else about BJ situation if I only heard the sense should I mount this girl hard core
I would I would hate him as much as I still do
Yeah, that should never mount right
Never say you're mounting that'll really ruin the mood if once you begin making love you go. I've mounted you
You've been mounted by the beach my star
Why were you giving me all those hor looks?
You're dating my is any dating. Yes, you're dating his best friend
So he doesn't even like her, but he's still like I don't know sex is sex
I might ruin my friendship and my friend's relationship. Yeah, I was trying to mount somebody
You got a mount. Well, you got a mount. That's true, man
And who says sex is sex if you're just like sex is sex you're doing it wrong
It's supposed to feel like Christmas on your dick
And they expel tinsel all over the globe so God that was too dirty for me
Next question
Shit the broken power he's already mounted her it's too late
She gave him those bang me. No, the answer is don't be an asshole. You fucking asshole
Quit being a piece of shit and keep your fucking friendship. You fucking fuck
This stop writing your worst impulses to an internet show
That is happen to be this is how you lost your girlfriend, right? That's how I lost my wife
It's just probably the motherfucker that fucked my wife
I've mounted her unfortunately
Hey sex is sex. Yeah, that's what I said as I came
Yeah, that is a real vaginal dehumidifier that whole letter
Whatever was moist is dry at the end of that one. Those are real men. That's my group. They're in my group
I'm not proud of our group. I'm prouder of the guy who dressed like a living nightmare
Than the guy who sex is sex got a mount something
Is there you think there's an actual look that means I want to bang you right?
I think this guy's never had sex in his life actually. He thinks every look means that I think so
He's got that disease where you can't read people's faces. You're gonna be that look exactly. Holy shit. I have to mount you I think
I'm not gay, but hey sex is sex
This is fun, we've never done this show for more than one person
Is that true you just stick to one person we just it's either me and Jake and nobody or me Jake and one other guest
Oh, I see bring the whole show people. I understand. I didn't understand any of that and now
He's still nothing
Rumbling all right powering through next question. Wait, do we give him advice? Don't do it, right? Yeah, don't do it
Cool go and you're an asshole. Yeah, so don't do it one you're an asshole to sex isn't sex sex three
It's it's dick Christmas. Yeah
Or dick Naka depending on your religion
Poor Naka Kha Kwanzaa
Kha Kwanzaa
The helpful heckler I have one
Ramadik you don't have sex for 30 days and then you fuck when the Sun goes down
Ramadik
You can't eat my cock after after sunrise, right? Is that how that's what it is? Yeah, that was that was more accurate Jesus Christ
All right, good good work. Yeah
Go team. I'm proud of us. Just go to the next question. Okay
Hey guys guy in the hoodie. What's your name?
Yeah, you the guy whose face is terrifying
Mark
That's what's so sweet about comic-con is you get to be whoever you want to be your mark you work at the UPS store
Your girlfriend Judy's a real real yappy, bro
And you come here and you just live your fantasy of being a serial killer
Is this your girlfriend?
You don't look yappy. You're very sweet. Oh, it's kind of terrifying to see him grab you
If you were buying on marked van, I would have come to your aid
Holy shit her nose is bleeding right now
He did that. Do you need help?
Blink a couple times
He can't see you or anything. Just walk out of the room if you need help
You didn't you didn't dress up though. You're just going as reluctant girlfriend
Or are you dressed up as oh, you are who are you?
Penelope bond sweets
Yeah
Murphy Brown right. Yeah, I've seen that episode. You're Sarah Silverman
Isn't doesn't it isn't she played by the look of on your face as you've never heard those words
Oh, it's real to her Sarah Silverman. No, yeah. Yeah. Well, we've learned a lot today
Let's learn a little more mark writes I'm 19 years old and I'm turning 20 in two months
I've gone to second and third base with a couple girls, but I live in the south
So both girls ended up being too conservative for home play
I haven't had any action in a year and I'm feeling a little psyched out by still being a virgin at almost 20
I got on the subject with my co-worker and he recommended visiting one of those high-class hotel escorts
So I can get the whole thing over and done with
Mm-hmm. That's the right reaction
Do you think that that would be a dumb idea or do you think that that would actually help out? Thanks mark?
Can I just submit that his friend who told him to go to an escort was probably BJ from the first letter?
I
Sexy sex throw down some money. Who gives a shit you got a mountain catch up front mouth move on ruin a friendship
Just fuck the money
$100 bill and fuck the money. It's like getting a BJ from Ben Franklin the BJ from p.m. Oh
Ben Franklin blowjob humor pretty standard pretty standard well try nobody say if we go after them all
Hey, I don't know I'd also like to say if you're if you're concerned about losing your virginity stop saying psyched out and using the base system
It's not fair. It doesn't work with a girl if you're like, oh baby, I'm on third right now
Come on, let me oh the umpires dusting off home
That's what you call taking your panties
That is so fucked up. I'm so sorry. There's a play at the plate. Oh
He's out. Yeah, I don't know if you've ever been listening to a comedian talk and realize he's offensive
And then you realize you're that comedian. Yeah, that's what just happened to me
I'm like, I don't care for this guy and it's me
Am I the only one who thinks he should fuck the whore?
Well, I don't know if that's very sensitive to the night walking community
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I'm trying to be like high-powered classy escort sex positive empowered working woman. Yeah
He should fuck her
Either way and put it in the bud
Sex to sex right brother
He's only 20 20 is not that old for him to start worrying about plan C. Yeah
What's plan C plan C is the prostitute. Oh, I see. Yeah, B is the abortion pill. Yeah, he's the prostitute
Plan A is actually finding someone to sleep with yeah, I think I think he's too desperate at too young of an age
I agree when I was 20, I hadn't been to third base or second base. I haven't even picked up the fucking bat yet
I
Was still a big five looking for helmets
Trying to find a used one for half off
So I think the true answer is just just relax right relax. That's the nice answer
Yeah, Jake's answer is 20 years old is too old to be a virgin
Says the fucking good-looking freak next to me
You fucking weirdo beat it
For the weird faces like this one in this one
You're over here. Why are you leaning on a motorcycle with smoking a cigarette like you want to go back to my place?
Why are you fucking currently?
You bifocaled slut
I don't know. I don't think anybody I was 21. I was about to turn 22 when I lost my virginity anybody beat that higher
And he all like who's the oldest person here that's still a virgin. Oh god
I'm serious
Fuck you right now
You know what let's bring up the top two just so I can see the next champion after I bet the winner
What's that oh
I know I came to comic-con to get laid son sex is sex sex is sex sex is sex
This feels more than right
It's wrong finally
No, I think I think this guy could and she at least don't have sex. Don't lose your virginity to a
High-powered escort. Yeah, that's that's your story for the rest of your life. That's a good story
No, actually, I think that's bullshit the having a story for the right who tells their virginity story
Like it's a good thing like no one does that you don't have to have a special virginity
You're just a tourist lyon fool. Yeah, but so is yours. Mine's like at least it's bad
It's embarrassing, but yours is like boring
Well, which is worse. I don't know. I think they're both the same
45 minutes, this is the worst thing that's ever happened to me now
This is your nightmare. I lost my virginity to a mirror. All right. It's on the open
Not me, but somebody named me
All right, Jake's not gonna do it
Should we run to the next question? Yeah. Oh, you realize we're all just imagining something worse than what it probably is
You know what? You're actually not my car. I know the story and I assure you his is worse
What were you in taken what happened?
First of all mark was there
For you in taken I have a very specific set of turn on
They're going to fuck you
How old were you 20s to all deal you can say that 14 that's too young
That's too young. I don't think it was okay. He was a man in the eyes of Jewish God
It was post Bar Mitzvah
It was
Bar Mitz was 13 boning 14 therapy 15
podcast 27
Seven years of crippling loneliness and then Ben Franklin S is your D at age 29, and then I'm dead by 30 perfect

You just playing shoots and ladders and then you're like
GoldenEye of basement

Proximity mines
Good choice. Thank you
Job this is something we've never done get a question from someone we can physically see and talk to
That may be a fun little treat. That's right
So what we should call their name and they can come up?
Is it okay if I read your guys's real name it's this is a question about dealing with a dog
Allison B. Are you here Allison? You're here. Is it okay that I said Allison B?
It's okay. Come on stage Allison B. Let's give it up for Allison B
Allison B writes oh, I wrote how do you get close to the microphone get right in there?
Yeah, how do I get a dog without having to care for it every day?
How do I get a dog without having to care for it every day step one?
Never promise me never get a dog
Step two get one of those Japanese you got to feed me beat beat video game
Step three what you're looking for is called a cat
Step four, thank you for playing
Wow, that was fucking quick
That was efficient. So a dog is a little much. It's mostly I'm not home all the time. Yeah, they got diarrhea and shit
And you don't want a cat either. I'm allergic your allergic to dog shit or two dogs. No two cats
She's allergic to cats. Got it. So get a dog and get like a man servant
I think I think I might just stick to YouTube clips YouTube clips of dogs. Does yearning?
Only watching pornography and never fucking when you were 14
You know what you need to do is you need a you have a boyfriend I do where is he?
I'm at a different panel. He's in a different panel. You know where you should break up with them at home taking care of your dog
Yeah, get one of those real submissive types. You'll meet a bunch here
Mark for example
My god, I didn't mean that as an insult. I mean is one of us
What do you think I think I'm a tough guy? I am that I am a real submissive boyfriend
I'll do it. What's your boyfriend's name a Trent Trent? That sounds like a guy who shouldn't be here
He's not and he's not gonna take care of the car. Here's what you say who let the dog starve Trent
Who fed the dog and didn't complain about it Caleb
Find a Caleb or a Verne or a gene. Yeah, you need a gene a gene never killed a dog
That's absolutely right. You'll only find gene with some peanut butter
Come on comic-con. I know you know what that means
You guys are fun
You meant peanut butter on your dick. I meant make a dog Ben Franklin you I
Think we're running we're coming close to the record for Ben Franklin blow job jokes
I think no, no they shattered it. There was a Xena panel in 97
Where Lucy Lawless just wouldn't stop saying eat my box Ben Franklin
She actually tied a key to her clitoris
And walked outside in a goddamn storm
So many names that invented the first dildo. Wow. Yeah, that's accurate. Anyway, don't get a dog
Although
Have you thought about getting a dog and just feeding it every other day?
Or one of those Rick Moranis, honey
I shrunk the kids things that like you know kind of mousetrap style feeds the dog for you. Oh, yeah
What?
It's a good movie came out before anybody here was born and so I'd never seen a movie before 1983
I
Did we help you with your dilemma? Sure
She's gonna go get a dog right now. Let's go to Browson
Thank You Alison
Who you can get a lizard?
Nobody gives a fuck about a lizard. Yeah, you can kill as many lizards as you want. They're basically disposable
Just buy a lizard don't feed it wait till it's dead and then go get another one
And the new one can eat the carcass of the old lizard that'll that'll give you twice as long of a lizard life
That's great. It's our lizard food. Oh, yeah, hot lizard on lizard action
Liquefy them like in the matrix. Oh
Hot lizard on lizard shit somebody said what in the matrix they liquefied the dead to keep the people in the pods alive
Is that true Jesus Christ
Where are we right now? I thought we were in Mark's basement
What
All right, let's read another at-home question. Cool. This one comes from what's your name, sir
Xavier cool name. Nice. Is Professor X's name Xavier? You should just what it was it? Oh
Charles Xavier's his last name is Xavier your first name is your last name Charles. Yeah
Now remember your joke about what exhibits real name is
Xavier's a bit
One of my favorite jokes we I thought you came up with that I did I just wanted to give you some credit. All right
I
Know I thought you came up with it. All right next question from Xavier. Hey guys
I'm a freshman at the University of Illinois, but it was but it was not easy to get here
My mom really wanted me to stay at home and commute to a local college
After a full year of begging she finally let me go the problem is that I really hate it here
Don't get me wrong. There are plenty of babes, which is the real reason to go to college. Am I right?
The problem is school is too hard. I hate everyone in my dorm when we suck at the sports plus my room
It is a total lightweight and pukes every night
So please
Please please help should I go back home with my tail between my legs and admit?
I was wrong or stay in champagne Urbana. That's the way the University of Illinois is love Xavier
Well Xavier I
Think what you really need to do there's a third option
You could go back home and your mom would be like I told you and you'd never take another chance for the rest of your life
Or you're already far away now. Just go to any other school and be like it's like I'm still at the University of Illinois with my weird
lightweight roommate
There you go, but I feel like he won't like any school with this attitude. Well. Yeah, he's possible the other there's a million options for
Little Xavier here
He's he has a really bad attitude
He hates school because they're bad at sports. Yeah, and because he hates his classes. Yeah, well, he sucks at his classes
Oh, sorry, you hate school because you suck
Wait you suck at your classes the school is too hard
He said he's pretty smart. Well, this guy isn't the real Xavier. Oh, yeah, that's just the name. We chose
Oh, he's emanating a discomfort that
I
Know what you need your attitude dick
Okay, okay, I wonder your annual answer was so genuine. Yeah, it was very yeah because he's right there
He's like close enough to punch you in the face if you said what you wanted to yeah
Now that I know he's not here fucking grow up piece of shit
That's Xavier
Keep strong, you know, I mean like it's always hard the first year. I didn't like my college the first year
That's not really a savior. You're a real
Tough it up. Oh, that's me. Yeah, well
What do you think you haven't answered a goddamn question yet, I'm sort of a reader in that regard
It's if you hate everyone in your dorm, you're the problem. Yeah, you're that weird guy
There's never like you're with 90 other people and they're all assholes. It doesn't everyone suck
No, man, everyone gets along
Except for you Xavier. It's this email another couple self-help emails manifesto
That's what we're dealing with like you know bomber style. Yeah, the next thing he writes will be to the government
He'll still email us if I were you show at gmail.com, but it'll be addressed to the government
In the two subject
Please forward to the government at government dot gov. I don't want to help this guy because he's sort of an asshole
Yeah, I want to tell him to go home with his tail between his legs because he failed go live with your mom forever
So that's what he deserved. I think it's easy to hate college though. Maybe just he's
That's one of the big misconceptions people like it's the greatest time of your life. It's not that great
It's better once you're out. You got it. Like I was I went to college didn't like it
Drop well, I dropped out, but also they wouldn't they didn't want me back. So it's sort of like a mutual relationship
Yeah, it was like, um, I don't want to go to you anymore and they're like what you can't and I was like good
And they're like, no, no, not good
Mandatory like whatever not whatever. Please leave fine shut up
We won't shut up. We actually are this school
Fucking transcript or try to transfer you didn't fail you failed every class and then I went to a different school and
Then I dropped out of that one
Could have gone back didn't want to
The third school dropped out again. Wow. Yeah, three for three and then finally I went to my fourth school and also hated it and dropped out
So shit, you don't need to go to college if you don't want
I'm up here with Pete Holmes and a mere balloon
That's true and Ben Franklin's under the table giving him a rib job
So everything works out drop out of school drop out of school
Yeah, that was good. Good commitment. You guys aren't gonna drop out
You commit to things and stick them out promise me you won't you'll commit to school like you committed to that chant

Let's take another
Person who's actually here question Xavier. No, he didn't write in
Natasha Natasha, are you up in here up in here?
Natasha D. Is that you? Did you ask a question about your career path?
Let's come on up Natasha
Then Franklin blow job
Natasha, do you want me to read this for you? Do you want to read it?
She wants to read it. I'll read it
How dare you sir
I've gotten a paper cut
How is that fair at what cost?
All right, make sure to get really close real close real close this close. It's okay. Oh closer kiss that
This is how you get off. Do you see the fucking
Can you mount it
I'm not comfortable
Go ahead Natasha. I asked my question now. Yeah. Yeah, okay
So I'm about to graduate from college and I need to decide on a career path. I really like neuroscience
But I'm also a pretty bang an opera singer. I'm serious
So I could do either which one should I choose?
Well, I guess I want to hear you sing opera. I want to see you perform brain surgery
And they'll compare and contrast
Yeah, so your question was you're really good at neuroscience you're really good at opera which is an opera real quick
Yeah, you wrote it so you kind of have to say
I
Don't know what opera supposed to sound like but that was gay
Yeah, that was like I we like like blink 182
Like
Can you do like voices are supposed to sound like sweetheart Tom DeLong
Sorry, I'm like that kind of pissed me off like it made me cry and I wasn't ready for that
That was incredible, thank you for that. I've never been that close to an opera singer before yeah, well, will you kiss the microphone again?
So what's the career path of opera, how does that work? Um, I
Am not sure I think I kind of just go to an opera company and audition and then just go from roll to roll
It's a it's a very like
Unstable career you kind of don't know where it's coming, but people have told me that I can do it
Well, it's lovely, but it's an unstable career. It's it's a niche market
And it's a language no one understood
Oh
Jesus Christ, even though they were joking most of the country is uncultured boobs that'll be like what?
And everybody has a brain so go with the neuroscience
No, and then while you're operating or whatever the fuck sing some of that shit. It'll give them something to live for
There you go
So I'm making things better for people
No, I hate that advice
You really how many people told you not to do stand-up how many people told you that was not a viable career option
Yeah, there aren't too many TV networks dedicated to opera
Well, you know there are well there are theaters dedicated to opera
Yeah, you've been you've been to one. I know they exist. I
Don't know. I mean look no, he's he does make a valid point
I should tell you to go for your artistic dream, but I am saying you should do both
I mean you don't have to do opera for a living now
You're making me feel like I should tell it to drop out of school drop out of school
How do you say that in Latin?
Is it latin or is it Italian?
That was Italian. It was it had latin
You uncultured big
And Latin nuance to it like the English language. Yeah, I don't know guy
You'd have to you know what I would say find somebody that does opera for a living and ask them
You know what I mean? Well, yeah, can you just like go on this path?
Like sort of you can take classes like neuroscience classes keep on practicing singing and then this sounds like
Can you delay this decision any longer than you already have?
What can you delay making this decision any longer than you already have?
Well, I have to apply to the graduate schools for neuroscience now right now. Yeah today
I'm in the middle of it. Don't worry. Oh fuck
but then like
If I don't have an actual opera career, then people won't want to hire me because I haven't been singing
Why don't you just apply to graduate school and then see if you get in and if you do then you could go and if you
Don't then you become an opera singer the classic
If I'm not a doctor, I'll just go into the opera
Tom Marotti 1963
Yeah, just find a fat Italian eating a sandwich with 18 different meats in it and be like, how did you do it?
Oh
Thank you, there's gonna be a lot of opera on the show, so I hope we helped you out and we probably didn't
But if nothing else you sang so lovely and everybody cheered real hard harder than I think there's an opera scout here
Thank you so much. Thank you very much
Her dilemma kind of sounds like the plot of an opera
That story. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool. Like a modern opera. You should write your own opera
Or like this like patient is brain dead and then like she starts singing sounds back to life
The electricity like starts like getting into her
Passageways like keep singing keep singing. No, it's working. That would be the first time opera woke someone up
Oh
Do you tip 20% on that service Jesus, I love opera it's lovely
Opera I love the hitman level where you go behind the opera
What fuck you I thought I thought these were my people
DJ loves it. Yeah, DJ's into it. Thanks, buddy. Don't let my glasses fool you. I know nothing about video games. Yeah
I meant to fantasy football
Are you fancy football? Yeah, I fancy football
It's like Butler's playing football
Butler University specifically you ever see like Tom Brady attended events. Yeah, that's like fancy football
That's where I get off like the Met Ball
You literally found the only type of fantasy that isn't represented here
You know what I like following sports fucking beat it. This is our time
You kicked everyone out of this room single-handedly not these people you
Should we keep going should we take a break what do you want to do? I don't know man shit. You want to talk about your show?
DJ wants me to
Be these are agent right?
DJ is my agent. Well, yeah, it's gonna be on after Conan four nights a week at midnight on TBS
It's called the Pete Holmes show
It's gonna have a lot of stuff that I think you guys might like already like the Batman videos that we've done with college humor will be
represented on the show
Yeah, thank you so much
And we'll be doing other there's you know, not just a panor the comic book stuff
But we just shot a series of nine X-Men sketches, which is very exciting and other stuff that if you're familiar with my podcast
We'll kind of have that
Yeah, okay
Yeah, that's very nice. Thank you
You'll have a very similar
Sensibility to the podcast nobody coming on the show is promoting anything. It's not really about like plugging a movie
It's about like friends joking around. Yeah, I hate plugs
I fucking hate when like people just like start plugging their shit. It's not about that. This is a fucking free-flowing conversation
We don't have to talk about shit
Midnight when is it on when is it on when is it on TBS on TBS at midnight? That is so funny. I'm being honest
That was like her opera singing of comedy that was like virtuoso
I didn't even realize I was plugging while I was talking about how I don't like plugging
But yeah, that's basically the show and the monologue isn't really gonna be like pulled from the headline setup punch
That we're kind of used to it's gonna be more in line like my stand-up
So I hope people like it Pete Holmes calm for more info. Yeah
Thank you
You say this is your dream job. Did I would you have I can you?
35 minutes later
Of course, it's a dream job
It's I've always wanted to have a show and just a home for all the different things that I do and this is this is a perfect fit
And you know, I used to kind of keep it to myself because it was so preposterous of a dream to say
I want to have a late-night show, but there are people professors of mine in college that called me and we're like
This is the thing we talked about in college and here it is happening. So it is really surreal and
Wonderful, I'm very grateful. It's the logo you're handwriting. It is my handwriting. Yeah, that's that's the kind of budget. We're working with
We need a logo. There you go. Now take a photo of me fucking the sky
And we got
That was your pitch that was my elevator pitch
I'll write my name and I have sex with a
And they did it I sir sir put down the gun
We will put you on after Conan
All right, let's get to two more questions from the audience. Hell. Yeah, let's do it Michael F talking about staples
Are you up in here Michael F?
Come on stage
Oh
Michael F doing what he do
Do you want me to read this one or do you want to read it? I'll have you read it. There you go. Good call great call
Leave move your lips so it sounds like you're doing it. Yeah lips. Thank you
So I currently work at a staples as a computer technician and just recently the position for lead tech
Supervisor just opened up now my best friend of maybe ten years lives, breathes and maybe even eats staples
That's how obsessed he is he has been working the hardest
He's ever worked for something trying to get the promotion and the other day
My manager comes up to me and offers me the job and I can give to
Excuse my language motherfucking shits about that place. I don't even try
Should I scumbag him over?
Consider I actually need the money to put myself through school or should I give it up and give it to my friend?
Wow, that's a good one noble noble. You're even thinking about it. You're even considering yet
Even if he doesn't do it, it's noble for you to even ask us about it. Is your friend is your friend here right now?
Damn it. This would have been really easy. I
I'm gonna say before we get to the advice
I think it's probably a bad idea to cross a man who gives a fuck about staples
This man will destroy you and categorize your remains in a very clean and easy
to find way
With food and snacks by the register. I I just
You don't you don't want to cross him. Yeah, he's gonna hide your body and say that was easy
I was waiting for mine I was sitting on that
You just why did your why did the manager choose you? Is your guy like so obsessed that he's annoying?
He's like, I don't want to promote this asshole. He gives two is it like a joint shrew kind of situation
I wouldn't say so. He's he's a good tech, but I guess I'm better
Okay, well here's the reality you need the money. It's not your decision and they came to you, right?
If you pass up the promotion today automatically choose him that you I would say so I would say they would give him
But you don't know that you could ask you would you know, buddy?
Will you give it to the lunatic who keeps reorganizing the post-its just eating staples? Yeah
I
Can yeah
I'm just thinking lion king style
Do it take the money take the money does anyone think he shouldn't take the money?
Your friendship's more valuable
No, you're saying he should take the money
Okay, so the one person that raised their hand thought like miss her the question, right? Yeah
Who thinks he should give it to his friend?
10 years
Not long enough not a lot of hands
It's like a real friend would get over it says professor Xavier Charles. I think he knows everything. That was beautiful
Be honest. How much do you like them? I?
Mean no homo, but a lot no
I think you're homo that's maybe a desert island alone for six months no rescue coming you're gonna
You're gonna sneak it in there just for warmth
Day two
It's a tropical island. I'm not very cold, but this is Disney Lake. Oh, okay
I
You know what I would say because you don't give a fucking it and because it does seem like something you could do somewhere else
Maybe you do give it to your friend and just get another job. Okay, I agree
I
Say it's not your decision to take the job or not
That's the manager's obligation. He gave it to you to say no would be slapping you're a superior in the face
You would be a bad employee not to take the promotion
So take it. Don't break it. It took your mother nine months to make it
I'm with Amir take it
You know what? I don't think you guys are doing what which is what I did to consider my answer
I'm picturing my best friend at my job. Oh, I did not do that
I'm being real like as far as when I was looking at it. It's just like faceless gray computer people
I was like, yeah, fuck him. I need the money and they offered it to me
But when I picture like my sweet wonderful best friend, I you got it
You got to see what I'm doing here is I'm making him my best friend
Oh, and I want him to I want him to have a good job
I want him to make the money and I would tell you the same thing make new friends
But keep the old one a silver the other school
Holy shit, did you just make that up? No fucking right
But at the same time if you take it, that's fine. Just use your money to buy a new friend
Like an iPad
How much of a pay rise are we looking at like double of what I make like double money
Money is so good, dude. Are you shitting me? Yeah, do you realize you can't buy shit with friendship right money?
You like like you can't go to a store money dude. You can't get like an iPhone 5s
Yeah, here's money the other thing though you take it
You don't give a fuck about the company and they want you to be like your friend and you're not so now you're you got more money
For what fucking churros to eat alone?
I'm sticking with my last thing you want to do is wrong staples
I agree actually that mega cheese is very shady
This is shitty company
Well, I can't really say they did they did maybe you know people here
Yeah, don't yeah, I don't know how people listen to spies everywhere
They did this on season one of the office where they offered Tim the promotion and he gave it to Gareth. That's beautiful
Yeah, I
Did quote the original office. I thought I was in a safe place
There's no answer to this question I need to meet this guy if I don't like his face I'm going
But that's why we ask this because you need unbiased you need an unbiased advice like I don't know your friend
I'm telling you you know him. You know you're like you're stuck in that situation. I got to your head
What do you choose? Oh, Jesus Christ. Oh, actually I have a gun
Mark bring your weapon up here, you know listen to your heart
Yes, you would take it. I mean you take the job. Well, see now you're making this hard for me
I thought you guys help me out. No, I see you first of all you might be a better employee
You might be well suited for it
What if you're a better what if you're gonna be a better lead technician than this guy? Yeah, you got to think about staples here
Fuck yeah, you're right, man. You gotta think about your education. This is where it come. Yeah, you got you need that money for college
Fuck your friend. Whatever his name is
You know what go put yourself through college get a really good job start a company hire your friends
This is so frightening start your own staples. Actually, I would love to invest in your education myself. I
Would love that. All right, cool. I'll double your salary to quit your job tomorrow
Kill your friend. What are we talking about?
I had a stroke should this guy get a dog or not
It's a hard one. It's a hard one
All right, we tried you got you got to go with your jobs and one stick with your wife
Simpsons, yeah, I just don't want to go into a staples in 50 years and see an old man
Why are you still working here? It's like well, I used to have a friend
Oh

And yeah, pretty much I know if I mess this up I'm gonna be in a dry spell for like six or seven months
So what should I do to avoid that? Nobody goes from three chicks to dry spell
The attitude's hurting you. Why do you think you're gonna go into a dry spell? It's happened before
You know that from three to dry your dry spell is fucking two girls instead of three
My life is a dry spell sir
People don't know who I am your handsome without glasses. You don't realize how difficult that is for someone like me
Without this crutch on my face. I'm ugly without them. Jesus. I'm your size is too. It's up in the morning every day
Right in the mirror when you have dry spells in the past the week before those dry spells. How many people did you fuck?
No, it just it always turns out that I meet a couple girls at the same time
And then I try to pick one and then I mess up and then I meet none for a while
Are you on tinder? Yes dough
It's yeah, go for it man, you know, you're never gonna have a dry season. You're no dry spell your monsoon season now
