If I weren't you, it's the name of the Google on your phone
Jake and Amir will interpret all your mom
Send them an email
Love that twangy shit
That was bluegrass
That was bluegrass
Coming from High and Lonesome Band
The High and Lonesome Band
A bluegrass band in You'll Never Guess the State
You'll Never Guess the State
No
Oh, alright, so it's not the obvious
No, no, no
Okay, Maine
No
Okay, okay, let's, I only guessed two
I feel like I should get at least 49 guesses
E
With 49 guesses, do you think I would get it?
It's really low, it's really low down there
Hawaii
That's correct
Really?
Yeah, that's Hawaii
Alright
Yeah
I guess it was like ukulele E, so there was the Hawaiian
I mean, I definitely, I did not, I was trying to guess
places that bluegrass would not come from
Hawaii is probably the furthest state from Kentucky
At least geographically
Yeah, geographically
If not alphabetically
Well, definitely not alphabetically
Alright, what would be the furthest state from Kentucky
Alphabetically
Ooh, is K in the first half of this?
Oh, I guess Alabama
No, that's, yeah, from A to K is like 12 letters apart
I guess there's no X, Y, Z state, right?
Wyoming is the last
Yeah, is it?
Yeah, so the question is, is Kentucky closer to Wyoming or Alabama?
It's really cool
Let's find out
Alphabetically, oh god, now we're gonna have to figure this out
Somebody's listening to this podcast for the first time
Make your guess at home, play along with us
How sure are you?
Say it out loud so we can hear
That I think, I guess I'm not sure at all
I'm gonna go, my guess being that Alabama's further
Oh, Alabama's further
Then Wyoming from Kentucky
Yeah, Alabama is very close to Kentucky
So this list I'm looking at has four columns of states
And Kentucky
Are we talking about alphabetically or geographically?
Alphabetically
I'm saying, okay, A is further from K
Then W is from K, that's my guess
Right, that's incorrect
So the first two, a lot of states are in the back half of the alphabet
So this list is four columns of states from Alabama to Illinois
Then Indiana to Montana
And Kentucky's at the top of that second column
And that doesn't include the second half of the states
Which is Nebraska to Pennsylvania and then Rhode Island to Wyoming
What skews it is all these V and W's
We got Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming
We got a ton in the back half of the alphabet
I see
So Kentucky is closer to Alabama alphabetically
But far from Hawaii geographically
Okay, so here's another question for you
Yeah
K is what number letter in the alphabet?
Oh, I believe it is
M is 13, so K would be 11
I see, so K is closer to A
I'm not writing any way basically
Oh, I don't know
K is closer to W
I don't know
YZ is 24, 25, 26
So W is 23
K is 11
And A is 1
So K is closer to A
Alphabetically, just if you lay out the letters
So you're clear?
That's what I was guessing
Got it
But you did say Hawaii very quickly
That was good
Let's all rewind to the first part of the podcast
Where I got the bluegrass answer in three guesses
There's a new Hampshire?
What's that one?
All right, that was high on Lonesome Band
I said it's Kate and Mike
Kate and Mike, thanks for that
Thanks
Our first bluegrass cover
I feel like bluegrass should be more famous
Is it a cover?
Yeah, it's a cover of Caleb Clouder's
Sick, Sad and Lonesome, of course
You could have told us it was an original
Yeah
That would have been fine
If it's a bluegrass cover, it's an original
Yeah, because I'd never heard it, so it's original
Yeah, unless it's wagon wheel
Oh, that's a good one
That's bluegrass, but that's the one bluegrass song everyone knows
So that you can cover
Everything else is an OG
Congratulations, thank you
And thank you for listening to If I Were You
The only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us
I'm Amir
And I'm Jake
First time in a while, it's just us two
We've had a string of great characters
Coming through our studio
We really have
Non-stop
Yeah, we had Ben and Rob, Meg Baton, Brian Murphy
My goodness
And finally
Nice to be just us again
Yeah, we don't have to be funny
We could just talk about states and shit
I wouldn't have wanted to do that with a guest
No, no fucking chance do we get to do that
No, let's talk about friggin' North Dakota
Have you ever been there?
No, wait, no, I haven't
That's North Dakota's
South Dakota's the one with Rushmore, right?
Yeah
So I've been to South Dakota
Me too
Never been to North
North Dakota's the last continental United state
That I have not been to
Really?
Yeah
You count been to as drive through
Or you have to stay in a night there
I think as long as I have
I don't think I've spent a night in every single one
Maybe I have
I've definitely, I've planted my feet in every single one
I don't count airports
Got it
So when were you in West Virginia, for example?
Road trip
Oh, you drove through it
Yeah, I don't think we stayed in West Virginia
We probably stayed in Virginia
Naturally
Arkansas, same thing, road trip
No, I stayed the night in Arkansas
Nebraska
I stayed the night in Nebraska
Got it, got it, got it
Any other random ones?
Missouri
We did a St. Louis show once
Yep
That'll do it
That'll do it
California
Oh, right, LA connection
Spent a night
Many nights, I mean, we've lived here
Of course
Four years
Yeah
Jersey, I'm sure you did, accidentally
We talked about, yeah, we were
Jersey
Yeah, it was like five minutes away
We went to a wedding in Philadelphia
What's wrong with you?
You're looking at Connecticut's where I'm fucking from
Jesus Christ, you're falling apart
Why do you say continental U.S.?
You've never been to Alaska?
I've never been to Alaska
So the last two states that I've never been to are
Alaska and North Dakota
The coldest states
Interesting
Maybe you should have your bachelor party there
I was thinking about having it in Alaska
Are there, is there shit to do up there?
That's what I don't know
We'd have, you know what we would do?
We would spend the majority of time at Nome
Which is where the, I did arrive
The dog racing is
Yeah
And we would just watch the dog's race
And we would get, we would drink and watch the
The dog's just
Race
Race
I don't know if you get to watch it
You don't get to watch it, but there's TV in the cabin
Yeah, they go off into the back, the rural area
So you're not allowed there
But it's gonna be an awesome time
Let me plan it
I'll think about it
I'd rather not
I don't know if I want to do the intro
Well I'm gonna do it
And we're gonna do it there
And I already got us the fucking dogs
And there's an Airbnb in Nome
And Nome, nobody knows how isolated it is up there
You can see Russia from there
I do want to, I do want to like
Figure out the, I want to see like the Northern Lights
That'd be kind of cool to do on my bachelor party
But then also part of me is like
Mexico City would be fun
Oh yeah
You want to go somewhere you've been before
Somewhere new
I would go somewhere I've been before
Really the ideal place that I want to go is Reykjavik
I want to go back to Iceland
But you've been there twice
Yeah
So you're like, should I go back to a place I've been twice
Right
Three times in Iceland
I mean I could, I would definitely do it
But I guess I also, I wonder if there's a place that I haven't been
That's got that same vibe that's got like
Yeah
Have you ever been to South America?
No
That's an entire continent you've never been to
Yeah
We've got a lot of options there
You think we could get people to go to South America
For my bachelor party?
Well I don't care about other people
So it'd be me, you, about two weeks
We can do two weeks in Paraguay
Here I'm on Kayak
Give me your social security number
You're planning my honeymoon at this point
I don't want to
We could do a week and a half at Rio Carnival
We need a week, alright
We'll have to miss a
I'd rather do the Iditarod
Alright, okay, just book that one
Are you okay with missing just a slice of your rehearsal dinner?
We'll get there before Vows
If all goes well
Alright, let's answer some questions
After all, this is an advice podcast
We're here to dispense some wisdom
Including one to this 17 year old girl who wonders
Am I a snake?
Okay
Am I a snake?
What an interesting, interesting question
Let's get to the details
You think she's actually talking about like a
Slytherin serpent snake?
I don't
Okay, yeah, I think it's about a four
Got it
We'll call this one
Sydney D. Alaska
Very good
Because she's from Sydney, Alaska
And she writes
I'm a 17 year old girl in high school
And a huge fan of your show
Basically, I have a crush on a good friend's ex
And I feel like a knob
My friend dated this guy a year ago
And about a month
For only about a month
But he was kind of a dick when they broke up
Fast forward, he's 10 times hotter now
And still douchey
But generally a much better person
My friend has moved on
But the main problem here is that we spent the past year
Roasting this dude to smithereens
We usually just make fun of him for being a wiener
But I've since befriended him
And I think he's changed
Last weekend, I hooked up with him
Nothing crazy
Third base at a party
And I felt like
I felt like I had to tell my friends about it
I had to tell my friends about it
Who then started roasting the shit out of me
I told him I was hammered
And that it was a one time thing
But now he wants to hang out
And I'm feeling sneaky
Any guidance?
Please, I really want to fuck this guy
And hang out with him
Without making my friends hate me
Much love from Canada
That could be a good option too
Montreal, if you thought about that
I have, but we were there so recently
Alright
17 year old girl
An ex-boyfriend that she just spent a year making fun of
Now she went to third base with him at a party
Which is very far, if you ask me
That's oral
I'm sorry, grandpa blew me
That's actually not oral
That's the furthest you can get
It's not oral
Third base isn't oral
It's fingering
That's not oral
What's fucking oral about that?
Still
It's private parts
Don't say still
After you said something it wasn't
You say it's blowing someone
You say no it's not
And you go still
It's fingering
Still, it's something different
It's still something far
It's past second base
Yeah, I mean in a baseball game
That's a good
That's a rare hit
Yeah
Home runs are more popular than triples
I feel like that's kind of true
There's probably a time
In your life when
Like, this is
Nevermind, this isn't a fucking original observation
Let's hear it
Where home runs become
Way more than norm than like
Fingering in second base
Yeah, that's like in baseball
Like an unassisted triple plays
The most rare thing
But it's not like
It doesn't look that cool
It's either first or home
I think that like
As you get older it's sort of
Whatever
You're either kissing or you're fucking
Or you're home with your dick in your head
Like me
Rod
So this girl
Is feeling snakey
But it's
She actually likes the guy
Yeah
He's actually a
Seemingly slightly better person
And he's hotter
So the only
The only problem is that
Your friends don't like him
So the question really boils down to
Like, is it like
Can I hook up with this guy
Even though my friends
And me have made fun of him a lot
Yeah
And now that she's like worried
That they're gonna start making fun of her
It sounds like she already backed off
Like when they started
As soon as she said that
She hooked up with them
And they were making fun of her
She's like, I was trashed
I was trashed
Yeah
If he's really hot
That they're not gonna really
Make fun of you
Like they can only make fun of you
So much if he's really hot
The problem is that
He's a douchebag too
She said he was a better person
But still douchey
Yeah
Can you imagine
How much worse he was
That he's gotten much better
But still a douche
Also, but when you're like
If it was a year ago
Then he was like 16
And who's like a really great
16-year-old
Except probably Jeffrey James
Yeah, he was a good 16-year-old
I bet
Cause it was like two years ago
Yeah
He seems fine now
Totally
Like we met him at age 17
And he was alright
He was good
Yeah
Any guidance
Do you want to
Would you go for it
With somebody that all your friends disliked
Yeah, totally
I think that you gotta
You just gotta power through
People can reimagine their
Opinions on somebody
Especially when it's this young
Like if you just keep on hooking up with him
It will eventually shift to being normal
You probably have to stand up
For him a little bit
Yeah
You don't have to like
Get into a weird contentious fight
With your friends
But like laugh it off
He's actually cool now
Like you guys should hang out with him
Yeah
And you can
It win hearts and minds
That's what it's all about
It might not end well
But you're 17
So that's also fine
Like you're supposed to do
Some bad things now
And then you'll learn from
Your mistake if you don't like it
So I say just go for it
Regardless of if it'll work out or not
Right
The thing that you want to avoid
Which I do understand is like
If she just rejects her friends
Or like whatever
Fuck you guys
I'm gonna hook up with this dude
Then there's like
She could lose the war of
You know like her friends
Just continue to talk shit
About this guy
And then they start talking shit
About her and both of them
And their relationship
So you really
I think you have to remain
The middle man
And try to bridge the gap
If you can
Between the douche and the friends
Yeah
Reintroduce him to the group
Tell them what you like about him
See if you can
Just get some converts
You need a couple of people
On your side to be like
Oh we were wrong about douchey
Mingyi guy
That's good
Can you say that she has to
Reintroduce
Oh good
Reintroduce
Ta-da
Here's a similar
But different question
From a different lady
Who's a sophomore in college
Or freshman in college
We'll call this lady
Chile F. Barcelona
Nice
These are all just places
We might go on my bachelor party
That's right
I love it
Chile F. Barcelona
Right
Hey guys
Listen
Our second time email
Or my problem is this
I'm really close friends
With my roommate
She's one of my best friends
But recently
I found her guy best friend
On Tinder
We both swiped right
And talked a little bit
But I asked my roommate
About it
And she said that she was
Not okay with me
And her guy best friend
Having a relationship
Of any kind
I told her that I understood
Because I do
And nothing would happen
Well
He and I were the last two
Awake at a Halloween party
Recently
Nothing would happen
And then something fucking happens
And a fucking course
We hooked up
I told my roommate
About it the next morning
And I apologized a lot
She's not thrilled
But she forgave me
Here's my question
How do I continue
To have a good relationship
With my roommate
After I betrayed her trust
And how should you
Approach interactions
With the boy
They're good friends
So I'm sure
I'll see him more
How do you have
A casual platonic relationship
With someone
Who's seen your vagina
And who you're
Really attracted to
She actually said
Who's seen your pussy
I don't know
I edited on the day
Who's seen your pussy
And who you're
Really attracted to
Thanks
And then she emailed us
Again seven days later
Well, we fucked
It was awesome
No regrets
There we go
That's new
I knew it was trending there
And that's where
My advice is going to
Your friend doesn't
Get to make the rules
I think that
All you can really do
Is be like
Hey, I'm sorry
That it makes you uncomfortable
But I like this guy
He likes me
He likes me
We're gonna fucking
Go for it
It's really
It's a two on one
Whenever there's a try at
Two people make the rules
And one person has to deal with it
Right
She has to live with it
She's like
It's friends with this guy
The last
And like
This guy would not think
You were a great friend
If you knew that
You're standing in the way of
Yeah
Him
Like finding
Finding somebody
That he likes
Is there anything
Beyond jealousy
Is there any case
To stand on
Beyond I'm jealous
I want to be with him
Like why would you say
You can't be with him
Maybe that if there are two
Good friends
I mean
It's jealousy across the board
To some extent I think
But like
Maybe she just doesn't want to
To change the dynamic
To like see it get awkward
Maybe she knows this guy's
Behavior
And she's like
No, he's gonna hook up with you
And then he's not gonna
Talk to you anymore
And it's gonna be weird
Or maybe that's
That's the case with the girl
So she is just worried about
The aftermath
If it doesn't go well
Maybe she's worried about
If it does go well
Maybe she's pushed out
And these people become
In a really good relationship
And they don't need her anymore
I guess personally
Maybe she likes her
It can't end well
There's only bad
I don't think that's
I mean
What if she
Really is just
This guy's best friend
And she likes her roommate a lot
And then her best friend
And her other good friend
Are in a relationship
And they try to spend time
With all of them
That sounds nice
Yeah, I guess that's
Best case scenario
But it seems like
When things
Like you said
Are trending toward something
You can't stop the
Chemistry train
No, you really can't
Once it's leaving the station
You can't do people
Who really want to
Have sex
Not do it
Because somebody
Would be uncomfortable
When you introduced
The forbidden aspect
That is
It's just pouring
Fucking gas
On the flame
Yeah, you know
What else is funny
We were the last two awake
At a Halloween party
It made me think about
How many parties
Just end with like
It's like this weird contest
Of like
I got to stay
I'm not going to fall asleep
Because the last two people awake
It's like that contest
Where you're touching a car
And the last person touching it
Gets to win it
Yeah
That's what it is
Like guys and girls
Just fighting to stay awake
To be the last resort
For each other
It's true
And also
It's funny to me
That this sounds like
Oh, we were the last two people
That stayed up at this Halloween party
Like so it was a coincidence
And one thing led to another
And like
Both of them stayed
Like very much so
Like you cannot fall asleep
Right
That wasn't a coincidence
That was a choice
To stay awake
And hook up with the guy
And that's fine
Because it is
It's totally legal
Yeah, and then there's like
The friends who are just like
Happen to be awake
And you're like
Just go to sleep
Go to fucking sleep already
Christ, it's 418
Why are you awake?
You guys want to watch a movie?
No, I don't want to watch a movie
I wanted to fucking
Wet cuddle with somebody
I want to kiss her
But you want to watch a film
Alright, so again
Go for it
Again, go for it
Go for it
And she already did
It was so funny
The follow up just said
Well, we fucked
It was awesome, no regrets
I like that she's
She's being pretty up front
With the roommate
But I think you just got it
And not make promises
That you can't keep
Yeah, it's easy to say
Fine, I won't do it
Because it's weird to be like
Actually, I'm going to do it
I'm going to go for it
And then you don't get it
And then you're like
Oh, shit
But I think it's natural
To be like
Hey, I won't do anything
But then like to come back
And be like
Things are happening
I don't know what to tell you
I'm sorry
I don't know why I said
I wouldn't do anything
But it's because
Yeah, it would have been bad
If you're like
I'm fucked that
He's mine
And I want him
It's like
Okay, he rejected me
Anyway, let's hang out again
I'm going to fucking go for it
It's all the bad ones
That would be good
T9
Anyway, what were we
Up to this weekend?
I believe you wanted to
Go to the mall
That's another thing
We can do
We can go to the mall of America
Ah
For my bachelor party?
Yeah, because there's like
It's so big
And there's so many stores
There's a ride in it
Yeah
So we can go on a ride
I don't want to do that
But thank you
I actually don't even know
If you're going to be invited up
I know that's
I'm trying to figure out the
If I figure out the location
I'm sort of grandfathered in
Yeah, that's true
Well, tell you what
Why don't you look your
I-did-a-rod ticket
I will
And then we'll see
On the day if I'm there
All right
I'm just afraid that
They're non-refundable
Yeah
That's what I think they are
No
Dog race
Yeah
When is the I-did-a-rod?
Yeah, do you think it's in
Like the middle of the winter
Or they have to
They can just do it whenever
Because it's Alaska
Yeah, I think
I would guess it's like
Spring
It's like a marathon
I-did-a-rod
Christmas day
Oh, that was the first one
So it does seem like it happens
All right, let's take a break
I'll do some more research
And I'll come back with a bunch
Of answers about the
I-did-a-rod
In-nome Alaska

And we're back
Sunday, March 3rd, 2018
Everything's on March 3rd
I'm figuring it out
Is the beginning
Of the Iditarod
In Anchorage
On the corner of 4th and D
That's pretty crazy
We are
March 3rd is coming up
A lot these days
Yeah
There's a lot of things
Happening on March 3rd
So if you want to
I can probably
Tweet at the organizers
I don't want to go
So you get
At all
I don't want to go
Dogs
And they push you
To Alaska
To watch the dogs
On Avenue D
I really don't
It's 4th and D actually
Those are streets
There are no avenues
In Anchorage after all
And then if we stick around
The awards banquet
Is on the 18th
At the Gnome Recreation Center
So we'd have to stay
In Alaska
In Gnome
For 15 days
To watch
Dogs racing
I wonder if that does sound
Kind of cool
I don't want to do it
From that bachelor party
But it's an interesting
I'd like to watch a documentary
About the dogs
And the racers
Because I have a lot of questions
About what the hell is going on
Do the dogs want this
Do the dogs know
That they're doing it
Are they okay with it
With the running
And stuff
It's kind of weird
Like in all other sports
Or not all
But like in most sports
The people competing
They signed up
They're like
They want it
They want to win
But like a horse race
The horse doesn't want to win
The dog race
The dog doesn't want to win
A bullfight
The bull
I guess wants to
Get the fuck out of the ring
It's nearly a thousand miles
They go in between
Like 15, 120 miles a day
On these dogs
Imagine that
Pretty cool
Alright
Anything else we should talk about
Or should we get
To more questions
No I have to
Promote my mother's cookies
Oh yeah
Thanksgiving is coming up
And you're going to be home
And you'll have to face mother
Yes
And you mustn't face her
Without speaking of the cookies
I must move some more
Units for my mother
Actually you know what
I'm pissed about
My dad
My fucking dad
My dad
Last time
Last time I was home
Told me that
That the sales were dropping off
Uh huh
And that he does
I don't think that he respects
My influence
Oh
Oh I see
So he was sort of pushing you
With one finger
Yeah he was like
Was that all you could do
Yeah
In so many words
He's like
This is
My son
I was like
The influencer
I thought you guys
Were a bit more influential
Yeah
Could move what
30 dozen cookies
He moved
50 on the day that she
Launched
You're a fucking
Bake sale to your dad
Yeah
And so what did you
What did you say to that
You said
I told him just watch this
You motherfucker
Uh huh
And then
And then my mom was like
Jake
And then I tweeted
And the tweet
Didn't go through
Cause it was too long
Right
This was before the 280 thing
This was before the 280 thing
And it was
400
So even after
Yeah it was 500 words
On the cookies
Yeah
On the cookies
More on the relationship
With my dad
It was a diet tribe
About the cookies
It was actually my father's
Birthday yesterday
Oh
And I'm surprised he didn't
Say anything
Alright I remember
Cause his birthday
Was the election
Oh yeah
Happy birthday dad
Anyway
Jake's mom's cookies
Dot com
Please help me
Prove my
Gord father wrong
And
To make my mother happy
And that
How does it work
They pay for a dozen
It shows up in the mail
Yeah
Special boxes
She's got a commercial kitchen
Now she's
She's paying her rent
In cookies
To a local coffee shop
In New Haven
Holy shit
So if you live in
Around New Haven
Yeah
My hometown
You know
I'm gonna come through
On Thanksgiving
And I'm gonna be
At coffee
Where they sell my mother's
Cookies
How's the coffee
At coffee
It's coffee
Question mark with a K
And I've
Never had it
But we used to compete
With coffee
When I worked at
A chapel sweet shop
In New Haven
Cause we had a little coffee thing
Of our own
And chapel sweet shop
Has since
Gone out of business
And coffee
I think goes into
Second location
So they won the war
But they're selling
My mama's cookies
That's right
And she's
Paying rent with them
So I won the battle
So check them out at
Coffee
Check them out at
Jake's mom's cookies
And you can get cookies
In the mail
She writes little
Notes to everybody
Comes with stickers
It's very cute
I guess a few
But we ran out
Very quickly
I'll let her know
All right
From those questions
And those cookies
Comes a pretty
Hilarious
Insignificant question
That I thought
I can answer
Cause you know
Not all life's
Quandaries
Are big pickles
Of what should I do
And how should I
Am I a snake
In this, that
And the other
Correct
This one is about
A fun little
Birthday
Facebook message
Somebody sent
So we'll call
This guy
Are
Alaska
Have we not called everybody
That
Because
No more
Alaska
That's right
It's out of the running
You should have
I wonder what's the city that
People party in
Alaska
It's probably
Anchorage
It's not Juno
Yeah I don't know
What's the
Silver Lake of Alaska
Where's like
The cool hair
Cuts being
Had
That's what I'm saying
I want the
Beautiful nature
Like Iceland had
During the day
The water falls
Of course the fjords
And then
The fucking
Run tour
Like the fucking
Raging dance parties
At night
And I don't think
Alaska has that
There's no raging dance
Party in Anchorage
Where do you think
More people live
Alaska
Or Iceland
Alaska
That's correct
By nearly double
700
700
Oh no
More than double
741,000 people
Live in Alaska
And what
300,000
Live in Iceland
Yeah
Yeah 335
Biggest city
In
Alaska
Gotta be Anchorage
Anchorage
Wow by a ton
300,000
Nearly half the state's population
Live in Anchorage
The second largest city
Is Juno with 32,000
Oh maybe Anchorage
Would be cool
Let's look up
The club scene there
Yeah
After the punch
Which
Yeah which clubs are
Straight bumpin'
On a Thursday
Is there
Does anything
Go up on a Tuesday
In Alaska
Alright
Here's the question
From Nome
R
Alaska
writes
I'll cut to the point
On Friday last week
A friend of mine
Had her birthday
So Saturday night
She invited a bunch of friends
Over to celebrate
The day of the party
I messaged her on Facebook
Asking her if she was
A Game of Thrones fan
Because I have a stack
Of Game of Thrones themed
Coasters
And I thought
If she watched the show
I could give her some of them
And it would be a small
Nice gesture
Came time to leave
For the party
And still no response
So I decided
I'd abandon
The coaster idea
Since it wouldn't be
A big deal to show
Without a gift
No one brings presents
Anymore
Now Monday rolls around
And my friend
Finally responds
To the message
Saying
No I don't watch
Why do you ask
What should I do
I'm feeling like
I have no good explanation
For why I ask
Besides
I was going to give
You a gift
And then decided
Not to
Which kind of
Makes me seem
Like a jerk
For coming up
With an idea
Nobody brought gifts
To the party anyway
And even if I explained
Why I asked
And give her the gift
It'll be awkward
Because she doesn't
Even watch Game of Thrones
Anyway
That's my dilemma
Any insight
You could provide
Would be great
I've listened to all the episodes
And I like watching
The headgum videos
Keep them coming
Couragelly
Love
Nome
Are Alaska
Thank you
Man you're overthinking this
What would you do
If I were you
You sent the message
She doesn't respond
Party happens
Then she says
Why did you ask
And I would say
I just was
I was going to get you
I had a gift
I had a gift for you
What did you bring up
You asshole
I was going to bring an idea
What's your mailing address
May I have your mailing address
And I'll send you the gift
I think you need to watch the show
I got you DVDs
What's a DVD
I'll get you a
It's a
It's like a VCR
But for a DVD
For a DVD
For a DVD
For a DVD
For a DVD
For a DVD
For a DVD
For a DVD
It's like a VCR
But for a
For a disc
You're so old
I just turned 19
I'm so happy to be invited to your party
Please invite me to more
Here's a coaster of my thoughts
A token of my esteem
Can he say that
I was going to bring you a gift
But never mind
He can
But I wouldn't
At this point
I don't watch it
Why do you ask
You just say
I don't know
It's a great show
Just curious
Sounds like a date
Huh?
Well, if you don't watch it
Maybe we should watch it
Does he want to date this girl?
No
But I'm just
You run the risk of coming off
As flirtatious
So what's a nonflirtatious way
Of saying
Why did you ask
Without saying
I had a gift in mind
Taking a poll
My friend said
Everybody watches this show
And I said
Not everybody
I could find someone
That's even more convoluted
Fine, here's the text
If you say
Long story
But I was going to bring you
Game of Thrones
Coasters to your parties
Ha ha
Glad I didn't
The end
Ha ha
She responds
Ha ha
Glad you didn't
What's funny about
Not bringing me my gift
No
No
Go home
Noem
Go home
Alaska
Nobody wants you here
With your non-gift giving ways
Yeah, no, I mean
You could also just
Fucking ignore the text
She didn't answer it for three days
Yeah, that's how you got to get back
To this guy quick
The clock is ticking
Oh, you know Facebook has
Readverse seats
This message has been seen
Oh, it's definitely been seen
Oh, yes
Sweating so much
It will see and be seen
Alright, I like that text
NBC scene
Nice
Thanks
The question
The answer of
Oh, it's gonna bring some to your party
Ha ha
Nevermind
Yeah
Yeah
Or is it just wondering
Just wondering
Yeah
Just curious
What do you watch?
Why are you
Are you into Narcos?
Yeah
I can get a
Narcos bib
What about the Cleveland show?
What was the last episode of that you watched?
I have a Mindhunter tablecloth
If you're interested
Would you want
You like Game of Thrones
Would you want coasters?
No
I'm not really into the like
A cutramon of things that you like
Yeah
Style
What about a poster?
Like a stylized art of Game of Thrones
I wouldn't
And I probably wouldn't want it
Like a Westeros map or something
Yeah
There's something kind of fun about that
But not really
I do have
Like in my childhood bedroom
I have like a tourism poster for Hoth
What's Hoth?
The Frozen Planet in Star Wars
Oh, Star of the Rings
Yeah, Lord of the Air for sure
Star of the Wars
Star of the Wars
Yeah, Star of the Rings
The Star of the Rings
Are you going to see the new one?
The Star
Star
State Star movie
No, I love it
Luke Stormtrooper is like a light
You see the one where he's like
A light superhero
Get the heck away from me
You're my only hope
Yeah
And then there's like the fucking
Vaderan
Yeah
Dark Vaderan
Yeah
It's like
More
I am your dad
You're your fucking dad
Yeah
And then it's like
Oh, you shall not pass your will
Yeah, that's good
Yodel is like a little
He's this little munchkin
He's played by Andy Serkis, I think
And he's like
He does a backflip
And he's like
You are not my father
You are my father
You have a ring, you will
Yes
I am a Star Trek
That's good
Who's that?
That's Chewbacca
Chewknuckles
That's Chewknuckles
It's this fat little idiot
Who eats his own fingers off
When Princess Lea
Can't get through Middle Earth
And he's just like
This huge fucking slug
Yeah, dude
And Han's guitar solo
Calls him freakin' Knuckle
He's like
Hey, help me Knuckle Cone over
You're my only rope
Cause at the end of the movie
He is a rope
And he's had his last rope
Yeah, there's like
Alright, what if I get you
The Game of Thrones chair
For your fucking bachelor party
I will
And you can't stand up out of it
So we have to take you through the streets
On a fucking chair
And we get you sloshed
We're all wearing sashes, tiaras
And dick straws
Dicks
I would love to have a bachelorette party
Yeah
That'd be a fun theme
That's your theme
That just reminded me for some reason
When we were in Iceland
And we were like so trashed
Like walking down the street
And you just like ran
And jumped on a bench
You know I had your crutches
I tried to pole vault over a bench
Right, and you just fell
And landed on the side of the bench
And just I fell and I felt no pain
I was so
That was the drunkest I've been
I felt no pain
I was so baffled that you even did it
Just like you're running at the bench
You pole vault and I'm like
Oh my god
And like there wasn't even a second where you
Where you like landed and then lost balance
It was like you did it just to fall on the side
Yeah, and it was
It was numb
It was so cold and I felt nothing
I was happy that day
That was an amazing night
We'll just call that your bachelorette party
See we should go back
You already had it
Congratulations
No, come on
That was it man
You had the fucking party
I loved it dude
That was awesome man
I really liked your party
It sucks
I can't even have a bachelorette party
Well we already did enough
I think we've done enough for you
Alright
I'm gonna, yeah
I'm gonna figure shit out
I don't think anyone's gonna go
This is insane
I'm gonna start a little
I'm trying to plan it
I did a ride to not
To try to not
We're not doing the party
There was a point where we were going to
Fucking party
Chile, we wanted to take me to Rio
I'm not even going to fucking
Los Feliz with you at this point
Like we've celebrated
It's insane
We've done enough
So it's not even you
Bailing
It's like you're gonna get everybody out
To go on a different party
Yeah
You're also throwing
Yeah, you're throwing a party
The day of my wedding too
Yeah, it's called a rival
Yeah, it's a rival back to the party
You have a lot of RSVPs
Which I hate
Okay, because I sent it out early
You gotta save the day quick
Have you sent the save the day?
No, I gotta
We gotta get on that
We're still finalizing the guest list
Read the guest list right now
Sure
We've got
You're the number one in friends
Alright, keep going
Pretty cool
Here, tell you what
I'll just read from the yellow tier
Which is the people that we invite
When people from the green
Decline
I want them to know that they were
Yeah, do you want to just know
Like the second tier?
Yeah, just the second tier
Okay
We also have the red
Yeah
Oh, they're definitely not
Yeah, the basically
Even if the green and yellow drop out
Just like people that we want to remember
But we're not gonna even send anything to
Why don't I start at the bottom of that one?
Marty Michael
Is it even worth having a red list?
I don't think so
But it is like
The red list is everybody else on earth
It's just like kind of nice to have like
A running tally of everybody
That's like sort of in the realm of
Invite, just in case
You know, cause
I don't know
People that want to
A year is a long time
Like you plan out something like a party
That is happening a year from now
Yeah, you may have a new friend
Yeah, and you also lose touch with people too
So it's funny to like look at our guest list
Be like, oh, I haven't seen this person
In a very long time
Right
Like are we still friends?
Down to yellow with you
