Seize that cheese!
Hite.
Hite. That's a cover of a song by the Raymans, actually.
The Ramones.
The Raymen.
Everybody loves the Raymones.
It's a really bad sitcom pitch that I have.
This was 1968, so like, it wasn't even like a play on anything at the time.
Was Ray... what is that guy's name?
Ray Romano.
Was he around then?
He was alive, but he was like, maybe eight years old.
He wasn't funny yet.
No, I mean he was funny, but you know, third graders are funny.
They're funny, they're like, yeah, they're silly.
Like, they put potato chips in their nose, that's funny.
That's hilarious.
Yeah.
Anyway, welcome to If I Were You, the only advice podcast on the internet,
hosted in a la Quinta in Austin, Texas.
I'm Amir.
And I'm Jake.
You're naked.
I'm nude.
You're nude.
I'm nude.
No joke.
Yeah, this is a really compromising...
How do we do this?
This is so funny and bare bones.
We're at a pretty budget hotel.
Yeah.
You're naked in your bed, so like under the covers.
I've set up shop around you.
I've been sleeping for the last three hours.
You just woke me up.
The podcast was all set up.
You handed me a microphone and then I was just like,
hey, I don't know if I have the energy to do this.
If I were you, the shop!
If I were you, the shop!
Yeah, it was pitch black in here.
I very slowly taped a microphone to your chest.
You sort of stumbled awake, but you didn't realize.
You were just like...
And then I was like, if I were you and you shot up, what the hell's going on?
I tried to get you to stop, but my hands are tied down.
It's too late.
I'm already recording and we're here and it's now...
A surprise recording.
How's it been going for you?
How are you?
How's it been halfway across America?
Yeah, it's been a fever dream.
Actually, John and John Carlo yesterday were like...
It seems like...
Our night in Charlottesville is just like another world.
Do you remember the Gusburger that we had in Charlottesville?
Oh my God, yeah, that was so long ago.
It seems like that was last year.
Yeah.
It was like three days ago.
We're crazy.
It's a wild ride, this life thing.
I highly recommend it.
Shut the fuck up, dude.
I've been done talking with you.
We just started the show.
It's entirely you talking.
There's literally no other aspect.
I guess me talking.
So how does the show work?
It's an advice podcast people write us in.
If I were you show at gmail.com
we sift through the questions,
we answer them one at a time
on this here program.
It's people who are finding themselves in difficult situations
and need our advice.
And we do our best to give it to them.
Perfect.
Well, you said write us in again.
So please give me more notes.
People write to us.
People send us their questions.
What else do you like about me?
I'm Jewish.
I'm Jewish.
These are the two things.
I'm doing.
I'm doing.
I'll give you greasy.
But that's uncouth.
You're stacked.
I'm a stallion.
I guess
another thing about you is that you're very
argumentative.
You asked me to list terrible things about yourself
every night.
You seem to want honesty,
but then you disagree with everything that I say.
Bring it.
There are no wrong answers.
How low they are blowing.
Is you practicing being defensive?
What could anyone say about you?
I hit you with
every single hard truth
that I know.
I put on clothes and go out for the night and I look
at the mirror and I just say, what are you talking about?
How can you?
What are you saying right now?
You're really going to do that to me?
You tried on a shirt the other day
and you scowled and said fuck off
with that attitude.
That was my test.
Am I talking to you?
Or are you talking to me?
Before I buy a shirt,
I have to know whether I can be
pissed off with it.
Oh cool.
This is what the shirt looks like when I turn away.
That's pretty good.
We're actually in Austin.
I don't even want to say this.
I was going to say, we're in Austin.
This is so dumb. I hate this.
I'm embarrassed now.
Tell me what it is.
I was just going to say,
just know that I think this is stupid.
So you don't have to point it out.
We're in Austin,
which is where I bought my first
plaid shirt.
Can we talk about that
for an hour and a half?
Ego mania.
You megalo ass.
You were hosting a podcast.
You're speaking on the microphone.
Me? Everything's about me.
Those of you guys out there listening, think of me.
There is no minutia
about myself that's uninteresting, for example,
where I bought my first plaid shirt.
To be fair, I am the one that told you this morning.
Yeah, that's why I was in my brain space.
This is where you bought your first plaid shirt.
Life after denim. Look them up boys and girls.
Alright, let's get to these questions.
Alright.
These are real emails from real people.
We're going to give them fake names to preserve there.
Anonymity.
Anonymity. We'll call this first person.
Mmm.
George W. Bush.
George W., right?
Hey bros, so there's this girl I really like
and she wants to hang out.
I really want to hang out too, but she wants it to be with other people.
She's afraid that if we hang out alone,
it'll be awkward, which it wouldn't be.
We have no problem talking over text,
but how do I create the same atmosphere when we hang out?
So, I guess my question is,
how do I get her to hang out with me alone?
And then, if that happens,
how do I make it not awkward so she will want to hang out again?
Gee, W, it sounds like it might be awkward.
Yeah.
If that's a concerning issue for you.
Yeah, I'm taking a hang out with this girl,
but I don't want it to be,
but she thinks it's going to be awkward.
It's not going to be awkward.
How do I make sure?
How am I not weird to her?
What if there's a silence?
Then what?
I told her I'm not awkward.
How do I make it so that's not a lie?
Because it's going to be fucking weird.
It's going to be real awkward.
Let's just let you in on a little secret.
I make people uncomfortable.
I am quirky in a bad way.
You know, Zoe Deschanel and the new girl,
I'm like that but a guy.
Adorkable except without any of the redeeming qualities.
I'm just a dork.
That's it.
I am a dark word.
A dork word.
A dork word.
King dork.
King dork word.
Dork word.
Anyway, so how does he make it not awkward?
I feel like you already make it awkward
when you're being like standoffish about like
you guys are trying to discuss who you should hang out with.
If she's like, yeah, let's hang out with other friends,
you shouldn't be like, no, it'll just be us.
It'll be fine.
Yeah, if anything, hanging out with friends
is the least awkward thing you can do.
That's what you want the first date or two to be.
That's perfect.
Yeah, because then you can make jokes in a group.
Maybe people will laugh at them and then like,
that's just how you get girls.
Yes, yes, yes.
It's perfect because then you can just make jokes in a group
and make everyone laugh.
And then you sort of look over your shoulder
to see if she saw people laughing.
That happens for you.
I wonder if this guy's just not funny
and he's like, I don't want to hang out in a group
because then people steal my thunder.
Well, if you're not funny,
then it's even worse to be one on one
because then everything is relying on you.
Like in a group, you can at least slink back
and like contribute once every six
or have many people lines there are.
That's what you should do.
You should count the lines.
So how many people are there?
Let's say you're six and then you want to make sure
that you're contributing one sixth or, you know, 13%.
That sounds so awkward now.
You sound awkward.
Okay, sorry.
Sorry, I have to jump in.
I haven't said anything in 14 lines.
Hey, I also just...
Sorry, what were you talking about earlier?
The ones right before?
He started tickling you.
Yeah, what do you do?
What do you do?
I think you just have to be...
You can never like...
The thing is if you win
and he hangs out with her alone,
then it's just like the energy is so bad.
Yeah.
It's like, I want to hang out with her friends.
No, no, no, no.
It'll be us.
It's going to be fine.
That's okay.
You're starting at a negative.
Like, why do you want to be with me by myself?
Like, why can't I have my comfort zone there?
Yeah, just let her dictate the first hangout.
And then if you're cool and relaxed and chill
and perfect and awesome,
then yeah, she'll hang out with you alone.
Here's an also weird thing.
She is afraid that if we hang out alone,
it will be awkward.
That's not a good beginning of a relationship.
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah, there's this girl that I really like
and she wants to hang out,
but she's terrified of the prospect of doing it just with me.
Oh, maybe she doesn't even like him.
That sounds like what's up.
That might be a very sweet way to reject someone.
Yeah, no, no, we can hang out.
Come to this place that all my friends will be.
No, I want to hang out with you alone.
It won't be awkward.
Oh, God.
Oh, I think you just like poked it.
Yeah, I mean, I see this question very differently now.
And I would say, leave her alone.
You ask.
I think you're a stalker for this.
You're annoying to her.
Please.
I think all you can do, even if that is the case,
if she's like, it's because she doesn't like you,
then the best thing you can be is to be cool and relaxed
and easy going and just put yourself out there
in a positive way and hope she reciprocates your energy.
Seize the cheese.
You fucking suck, man.
What?
You quote yourself in a dumb voice.
You're trying to move t-shirts.
I have a box of unused t-shirts right now.
And they say if I use the catchphrases more,
they'll go like hotcakes.
Last night we went out in Austin.
You wore a backpack with the seize the cheese shirts in it.
And we were just dancing, meeting people.
You had Jake and Amir loaded on your phone.
You had our podcast downloaded.
You had earbuds.
You were trying to get the DJ to play episode five.
It was insane.
You fucking did it.
I don't know how much you paid him,
but the crowd literally stayed there in earnest
listening to the first 11 minutes of this show.
They realized the beat was never going to drop.
They thought it was a remix,
but the mix never got read, I guess.
They slowly started filing out.
You chased people into the street.
Somehow all you brought was double XL seize the cheese shirts.
You started charging people a $5 leaving like a bitch fee.
Nobody paid it.
You ended up moving three shirts
because people felt so bad for you.
And you looked so proud to have that money.
You flaunted the $60 like you were fanning yourself.
You went inside.
Like a woman in a kabuki drama.
You went inside and made it rain
and then screamed at everyone not to pick up the money.
He said the rain is not for you.
It's for the ecosystem.
It'll help make plants grow.
Yeah, so...
You do you.
Yeah, bustedtease.com.
Slash Jake and Amir, please help us out.
Move these units, folks.
Are we done with this guy?
Yeah, dude.
And everything got started with this guy.
If this lady thinks it'll be awkward,
maybe she's right.
Or at the very least go plan her terms
and make it not awkward then make her fall for you.
But you can't argue your way into a relationship.
Yeah, you can't start at such a net negative
and get yourself out of this hole.
Alright, pal.
Now, question number two.
The woe.
This one comes from...
John Quincy Adams.
That's from Beyond the Grey?
Yeah, I guess so.
I don't know.
Do they have email there?
That's in heaven.
I don't know.
Quincy Adams is very much so in hell.
Alright, he writes,
Hey guys, so we have one computer in the house
which we keep in the family room so that everybody can use it.
My dad has started using it late in the evenings
after my younger brother and sister have gone to bed,
but when I'm still awake
and when I go downstairs to grab a snack
or a drink of water,
I keep catching him awkwardly staring
at the computer desktop background.
I'm pretty sure he's up to something.
I mean, why would you just be staring at a blank desktop?
Do you think he's jerking off in the family room
when most of us have gone to bed?
And if so, how can I relax in this house
in the evenings knowing that my dad
could be fapping away downstairs?
His dad, by the way, is John Adams.
Right.
Please help.
Love John Quincy Adams.
Oh man.
Help me.
My dad's fapping.
What?
Is that even true?
Like, if you just walk downstairs and your dad is just staring
at the desktop of a computer,
is that like, that's how fast he is?
That's how I used to...
Like, you hear the stairs and you minimize it,
and you're just like...
Well, I mean, I was...
the dad was obviously not...
maybe he's just not good at this yet,
but like, I would have a web page open,
ready to go,
and then like, if anyone was coming downstairs
just, you know, closing everything,
minimizing, and then...
In the family room,
in a communal room, you would do that?
We only had one computer.
We only had one computer.
So you'd rather jerk off in the family room to porn
than like, by yourself,
to a magazine in your bedroom?
I didn't have any magazines.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And did anybody ever catch you?
Yeah.
Are you proud of that?
Yo, I got caught mad times.
I got caught...
I got caught up on my mom's,
got caught up on my dad's,
got caught twice by my sister's.
Yeah, post-nut.
My brother, he knew what was up.
At a certain point, this...
I got more cavalier with my attitude,
so I would do it during lunches and stuff.
Well, I think I got caught masturbating,
like, 15 to 20 times, probably.
That's what I got.
Like, mid.
Yeah, I mean, not like...
I wasn't gonna be caught,
because it's like, it's not necessarily a bad thing,
but it's still like, you don't want anybody there.
Right, it's like an uncomfortable thing.
It's like somebody walking in on you
and you're taking a shit,
where it's like, okay, I understand that people do this,
but I wish I didn't see it.
I don't want to see you like this.
Definitely, you wouldn't want to see your dad like that.
Right.
My dad is just this unimpeachable, great person
who just fixes everything,
gets me out of trouble,
pays for shit, and made a family.
I'm like, if I just saw him with his fucking dick out,
looking at lesbian porn,
I'm just like, oh, no.
Turn away, turn away.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
It's...
Oh, God.
No, you do not want...
You do not want to see how the sausage is pulled.
Oh, shit.
Um...
No, so...
But maybe he's probably buying you a Christmas presents, buddy.
That is the lea...
That is lying.
You're lying to him.
He's on amazon.com and he's getting you Christmas presents.
That's what the dad is saying.
Don't worry, he never...
Whoa, buddy, you almost got me a...
buying you a gift.
What were you getting me?
I was getting you college threesome dorm room.
What were you getting me?
Um...
College threesome dorm room.
Uh...
Have you ever been caught masturbating?
I don't think so.
He's like, when you...
I'm gonna have, hopefully, one day, I'll have a family.
I'm not gonna stop masturbating.
I'm gonna have to like...
That's not a thing that's gonna happen.
When I was younger, I was like, okay, my...
my sisters aren't home, my mom's not home,
I'm gonna masturbate or like everybody in my family's asleep,
I'm gonna masturbate, I'm gonna go take a shower and masturbate.
And then I like, grew up, I went to college and it's like,
oh, my roommate's going to class, I'm gonna masturbate.
Then I grew up even more, lived in New York alone.
It's like, oh, no one's here, I'm gonna masturbate all day.
Yeah.
This is the first chapter of your autobiography.
This is...
And at a certain point, you're like, okay, I'm like,
I have a girlfriend, I'm gonna masturbate while she's gone.
And then you're like, okay, I've got a wife and a kid,
I'm gonna have to masturbate when the kid's asleep or something.
But you're gonna masturbate less.
I don't know, your life is...
Your sex drive goes down.
It is just a series of finding time to masturbate.
Life is what happens in between secret masturbation sessions.
It's such a funny thing that's like...
Like I'm at my kid's soccer game, I gotta run to the car to say that
I like forgot like a granola bar for them and I'm gonna masturbate.
And then I'm gonna get out there, start handing out the orange slices.
This is a dirty little secret.
Catch a glimpse of a Milfa, run to the public restroom and I'm gonna have to masturbate.
You know, it's like, you have a problem, sir.
No, I mean, it's just like I'm at a funeral and someone's looking exceptionally hot slash sad.
So I sort of jump in the grave down there with him and I start to masturbate.
Yeah, you were under arrest.
That is absolutely uncalled for.
You were fapped at a funeral.
Fapped.
So what do you...
Okay, how do you...
To relax or...
You can't treat your dad masturbating as this terrible thing that you can't sleep in the same house as.
He's a guy like you.
Yeah.
You gotta just bring snacks to your room, hunker down.
Your dad is down there pulling his fucking meat.
You understand your dad.
Let's just like, let's just put it out there.
Your dad is looking at girls getting fucked and rubbing his penis until it has an orgasm.
What do you do when you're at a computer like that?
Do you like have like a tissue?
You don't... What?
I don't know if I've ever masturbated to a like a desktop.
You've never?
I feel like I...
To computer pornography, I would use my laptop and do it in bed.
And what do you masturbate into there?
I use...
What a personal question that I don't know if I get one.
That you totally walked into, you're like, yeah, like I've never done that.
When I look at porn, I'm on my laptop in a bed.
Like, all right, well now I'd like to know where you come.
I don't know if I want to tell everyone that.
I very much need to know.
Why do you need to know?
Because I'm curious.
I'm by curious George at this point.
I am driven by the fact that I don't quite know yet.
I think that's the last...
I'm curious about that.
I think that's the last fact I ever want anybody to know about me.
Yeah, I'd like to know where you're not.
I'd like to tell you maybe not with other...
I'll tell you where I'm not if you tell me where you're not.
Of course you'll tell me where you're not.
You're an open fucking book, man.
There's no secret.
Every compartment to your house is open.
I realize you're not an open book, but I just...
I peeked into the page and I need to know
and I'm like, thumbing through all the pages
just trying to open it just on this one page.
I'm not going to lie.
Part of it has to do with...
I'm afraid that what I do jerk off into is...
I mean, it's not weird,
but if I say it, you'd be like, really you do that?
I mean, I'll just guess the things that I think it could be.
Okay.
Well, say the three things.
If it's a towel or a rag,
or like a piece of dirty laundry,
or like napkins or tissues,
I think you're safe.
If you are jerking off onto a photo of your family,
that's weird.
If you're jerking off onto a dead cat,
I think that's pretty strange.
It's tissues.
Really?
You loser!
You fell for it.
I said the three weirdest things.
You should be jerking off to a picture of your family.
I usually go for the most clean.
Like, that's easy to dispose.
Yeah.
I don't want to use a piece of laundry that I have to, like, what?
Then wash?
Yeah.
But I don't want to do that.
I want to just get rid of it.
Yeah, I'm not.
That's what I jerk off into, too.
Buddy.
When you're jerking off,
it's like, when you're doing it,
you're like, I love this.
It's like porn.
Oh, God.
I'm like, I just want more porn, more porn,
more pulling at my body.
And then it's just like,
oh, come.
Oh, my God, this is disgusting.
Hide this away from me.
I hate it.
I never wanted anybody to see this seed.
It's the opposite of sex,
or I need to get rid of me.
How do I not cuddle with me?
I'm always here when I'm done.
I need to masturbate and
explode at the end, disappear forever.
Get on top of it, quick, quick, quick.
Just convincing
people who are hopefully watching you
Truman Show style that it wasn't that big of a deal.
Did we answer this guy's question?
Well, I masturbated. I poured myself a glass of red wine.
Yeah.
On the rocks.
I'd log into a bar and be like,
Malbec, rocks.
Excuse you?
I want a glass of red wine on the rocks.
I feel like people might do that.
Really? No.
Everyone does everything.
Ice in the wine glass? Everyone does everything.
The weirdest thing you can say right now is someone does it.
White red wine rocks?
Yeah, someone has that. I'm going to order that in Austin tonight
and watch as they laugh.
There are certain people who like red wine chilled.
You're not supposed to drink it chilled.
I said milk, that's foul to me.
That's more normal than the red wine one.
No.
Why are you...
What clothes is on, sir?
At this point, I will say that it's really hot under these covers
and I do very much so not want to be under here.
If you're cool with it,
I'm going to take left leg here,
just like this.
This is all right.
I'm going to put it up above the covers.
Can I take a photo of this on Instagram?
People have an idea about what I see right now.
I would very much like filter approval.
I will give you final filter approval.
I will upload it when we upload the episode.
This is just a very...
I can't tell if this is sad.
But it's definitely something.
It's definitely weird that you took a picture of it.
You took a picture of me in a bathtub today.
I did.
Now people are going to be clamoring for that.
Oh, God, this is...
That is the saddest picture I've ever seen.
How many other podcasts?
It looks like my leg got amputated.
I feel like...
When I think of podcasts,
I think of Mark Marin in a radio studio in his house.
And then I thumb over to us
and it's you, Naked,
in a Lakinto holding a flaccid microphone.
A flaccid microphone is a great way to describe this.
Everything about this photo is flaccid.
It's yellow.
It is very flaccid inducing.
The photo is already yellow.
Oh, this is actually really nice.
This is...
Oh, that's warm.
Give me my phone!
Dick!
Should we take our break now?
We have the 25-ish minute mark.
You just fill out a brief questionnaire
and get matched with a licensed therapist.
And you can switch therapists at any time
for no additional charge.
It's incredibly helpful.
Therapy has helped millions of people
over thousands of years.
So give therapy a try.
It can give you the tools to find a more balanced life.
I've tried therapy.
It's been very helpful.
So you can find that balance better
with better help.
All you got to do is go to Better Health
betterhelp.com
if I were you.
You do that today. You can get 10% off
your first month.
So the prices are already affordable
because you're not paying rent for a building somewhere
that you have to drive to

This is done entirely online,
but you're still getting professional
licensed help.
And it's extra affordable.
That's betterhelp.com
if I were you.
Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring
this episode of our show. Wow!

For example, I didn't even
look this up, but there's no way
you can't buy a mere
Blumenfeld is a gooddude.com.
I bet that's available
and you can have it today and you can
buy it through Squarespace and build an awesome website
dedicated to me.
Or I guess dedicated to anyone else in your life
and maybe you want to give somebody a gift
this season. A summer birthday coming up.

Thank you, Squarespace.
What can we talk about that we haven't already?
We almost got stuck
in New Orleans. We did.
That was fun. Yeah, for an hour
RV was in a
parking lot surrounded by cars that you couldn't maneuver.
So let's start it by
we walked into
the Hyatt
in the French Quarter.
Which I would recommend no one stays at.
Wow. Based on that
nice thing to say right now. I actually think yeah.
Oh wait, no, no.
That's right. I had a
total change of heart. Based on
when we first got there, I would say
never stay at this hotel. They totally redeemed
themselves. So we walked in
I'm sorry, I don't even know why I said that.
I am just really hot
so I'm in a place of hate. I'm being bothered
in general right now. So we walked in
we had been driving all day
and all night. Ten hours in an RV.
Stinky SRV. It's like 11pm.
Getting to a place feels so good because you don't have to be in the RV anymore.
We pull in and we're like
alright we're checking in. Yada
yada. We have an RV
and they're like oh yeah we can't
help with that. Like we can't park there
and I was like I'm not
I understand it's a big vehicle. So I was like
just tell me where to put it. Yeah what should I do?
Like yeah I don't know.
Alright well this is hospitality. You're supposed to
like help. Let's work together at the very least
and they're talking to the valet and she has
the valet and she's like yeah can you guys park in an RV
and they're like oh no. I was like
well where should I go? And they're like well we don't
know. Has this never happened? I guess out of here
right now. Bye.
And next I can look up
places for you to park and I was like
oh yes that's all I need. Thank you.
She's like yeah
we just it's only showing me like
RV like resorts.
You probably don't want to stay there.
No I don't. I want to
stay here. I'm here. I don't know.
So I was like just standing there
backing away. I was like this is
insane. I haven't
been helped and I'm leaving.
And I'm a paying customer.
I'm in a strange city and I don't know where to go
and all I want to do is give you my
money so I can stay at the hotel.
You locals that are paid to help people
are not doing that. But we went outside and there
was this this rogue hero
valet man Tony
was like um yeah you can
put it right here. He's like
we have to we'll have to move it in the morning but we'll
find a way. He told me about this
lot that was like a couple blocks away that
didn't have
there was no garage so I was like yeah you can stay
here. And I was like
but we needed to move it by like 7am
so we went out we got like a little tipsy
I did. You guys didn't drink at all actually
How dare you
I came back to shit phase
you all were sober and good. We were playing
Clue.
And we just walked up to Tony
and I was like if I give you $40
will you just go and
do it put it where it needs to be
and he was like yeah so he did
and then he told then he like gave us the keys back
told us where it was
all that so I guess when Tony had parked it
it was an empty lot. Yeah.
Cross dissolved too. When I
when we got there I was surrounded by cars
there was
no chance in hell of me getting out
yeah I back up
just like almost hitting everything
this thing was like 25 feet long
yeah some lady was like who's
waiting for my spot is like trying to help me
and she
she tried for 10 minutes
and then eventually gave up she's like yeah you're not getting out
and we're all waiting for you at the hotel you're like are you here
and you just texted back. Yeah the car
stuck. Yeah. I guess plan B
is uh waiting
another 14 hours for everyone to leave and then leave at
1 a.m. Yeah we needed to drive all the way to
Austin and meanwhile this whole
building is like uh that the parking
lot was in like people doing construction
so like all these construction workers were coming down and
oh man you're never getting out you're never getting
out. This is my job and I
can't I don't even see a way out of this. Oh no
y'all yeah yeah y'all can't get out of that
oh no no
he just walked by
and started yelling negativity
and then some other dude was like
yeah you just need the extract here to move
uh it's like all right
if you do you know who's it is
and he's like yeah I think it's the window persons
so he like goes he disappears into the building
I have no idea if he's helping me or not
you just look up and he's eating gumbo
on a beam
oh yeah no about that car shit I don't
forgot a few minutes later somebody else comes out
he's like yeah this um
we don't know who any of these cars are
and then he's like because it also was
like served as a parking lot for the city
right finally you have to walk up to people
one by one did you park in this lot sir
no all right next person
so this dude comes out he's like
yeah I got the window the window guys
numbers he calls them is
he's uh they don't answer
yeah I don't know next
all right I'm fucked
completely fucked
and then finally and then oh then he
comes back out he's like got in touch with the window guys
like so filled with hope is like this is like
this is it something has to give I'm gonna
get out of here it's been 45 minutes
and he's like yep not his car
like oh
I like no and now like even the
people that were like sort of half helping me
are just gone right I turn
and there is a guy in a Hyatt
a college shirt
a hero emerges like guardian angel
right after your dark night of the soul you're always lost
moment my protector
who I was like I waved my
hand through him to make sure he was real
and he was not he was not
he was like he almost ran away
because you touched him he started groping
his chest I heard you're stuck here mr.
Hurwitz like all right here's what we're
gonna do he's just like talking me through this
calming presence I
backed up got as close to I could
on one side like all right what we're gonna do
now is pivot and he's like coaching me
through like turning the wheel is like
alright little bit little bit
little bit stop and they
turn it back little bit little bit
it got it was a game of your hip not
you're hypnotized it was centimeters
like at one point we were I was like
he would go
little bit little little bit
and I would go back is like oh
a hair
literally a hair
and we were like this thing the RV every time
you take your foot off the break
and just creaks and lurches like there's
no there's no hairs if I took
my foot off like I could go
three centimeters or could go a foot and a half
like there was never controlling it that's
a lot of hair and but
eventually and he was just like looking me in the eyes
like when you be the front of the RV is like
all right come to me little bit
it was like that scene in Austin Powers where he's just like going
back and forth yeah in that small hallway
and tighter you did like a 48 point
turn it took like five full minutes I
I don't know how many
how much oh my god back and forth
but I finally we got out of it
I like wanted to hug this dude
you told me to give him money yeah we gave him money
yeah so you'd bribe the first guy
and then you gave another guy money
to get him out of the car I don't think
I think you just not get it bribing
yeah but it's $40 ah you
fucked me all right here's $40 to the person that could
save me all right so you paid $80
well Tony Tony helped he just didn't
know he didn't know it's not on Tony
that's all in all we did get out of New
Orleans alive just an hour later than we
wanted to parking
um shit I am the parking
king
let it be known let it ring
throughout the land all right let's go back
to answer questions all right one last one
mmm maybe even two
no okay um
uh no oh no
oh no this one comes from
a lady we'll call
Martha Washington
Martha Washington
very coy
this is coying of her
although she didn't choose that name
you know that right
what a coy little
a coy little cunt I think
oh my god
the coyest cunt
don't say the C word coy
um all right
I've been uh Martha writes
I've been
I've been studying on a regular basis
with a guy from one of my classes
we get along very well he's a nice guy
and more to the point
of my quandary he is easy on the
eyes I don't feel any
strong emotional connection and I'm not in
the market for a relationship but I
certainly wouldn't mind getting physical
a study buddy with benefits
if you will my problem is
I have no idea if he would be open to
such an arrangement I am terrible
at reading these types of situations and
rarely am I able to tell if someone's interested
in me unless it's blatant
considering we are in the same program at school
and thus in a lot of the same classes
I don't want to misread the vibes and make a move
and face the awkwardness of a flat out rejection
what are some tips
and advice for subtly testing the waters
to see if he'd be interested in hitting this
or wants to keep it strictly
what are some tips
and advice for subtly testing the waters
to see if he'd be interested in hitting this
or if he just wants to keep it strictly to hitting
the books
Toda
Martha Washington
Martha
Martha you coy deeper
you coy baby
what do you think
what's a good tip for a lady
to test the waters to see if a guy's
willing to have sex with her
here's how you test it
you ask if he wants to study with you
and if he does
then he desperately
wants to fuck you
that's a nice way to do it
and he masturbates thinking
about having sex with the girl he's studying
with
so if it's like if you don't know if a guy
as a girl
if you don't know if a guy just wants to have
no strings attached
physical intercourse with you
he does
yeah that's a good tip
so like if you're studying with him and you're like
ooh studying with benefits
not that studying itself is a benefit
of course
education and knowledge is more beneficial than any orgasm
this is very very very very much so
that was coy
so yeah he wants this
yeah he desperately wants it
so for example what you can do is um
anything
like for instance this question
turned me on
to the point that I like want
I want to fuck you
oh my god
you're starting to straddle me
from one question
that's it I am taking the other foot out
I'm hot enough
I think
I'm full alright you are still
under the covers a little bit
alright
wearing some sort of
down toga
yes
okay so some things you can do
uh
smash
smash your bookshed what's it called
slam your bookshed
slam your bookshed
and say hey do you want to have sex with me
that would be something that he'd be into
or you can be like
text him and be like
hey
after our study session let's have sex
yeah
oh you know it's cool if you're like
if he answers a question you're like
oh okay
now every time you
answer a question correctly
I'll remove an article of clothing
yeah
and every time you answer a question
correctly
I'll um
sit on your dick
whether you get it right or not
tell you what
we don't even have to study anymore
there's not a ton of advantages towards
being a lady in the romance department
um
but this is one huge huge one
it's uh
when you want to have sex with a guy
uh
and not
necessarily make it an emotional thing
or uh
get into a relationship
uh
nine times out of ten
that guy is probably down
if you're a guy
and you want to do that to a girl
odds are
it's not going to happen
right
because that's what all guys want
yeah
so like
you're you're you're
you're literally shooting
no I shouldn't say literally
you're figuratively shooting
fish in a barrel
you're literally
that's that's
that's what we're recommending for the first date
you might have missed
read the question
so you're at this barrel factory right
and you have a loaded gun
and there are fish there
yeah
so
Martha
Martha
Martha
Martha
would that be easy to shoot fish in a barrel
yeah absolutely
all you have to do is get over the uh
emotional uh
ramifications of staring at fish
dead in the eye
and blowing its guts out
but beyond that I
I think I could do that
you think you could do what
I think I could get over that
yeah I'm sure it's easy
I think I could get past that
yeah then
I'm just capable of shooting a fish
right and it's cold dead salmon eyes
would you ever shoot a cat fish in the mouth
yeah
you would
why not
I don't know
I don't even know what I'm thinking about this
I don't know why either
I think at a certain point a fish
becomes too big to kill
it has feelings
no
dolphin
you wouldn't shoot a dolphin
no I would shoot a dolphin
you would not
that's a smart mammal
I don't know
would you shoot a
would you shoot a trout
I'd shoot a trout
barracuda
you're just on the Wikipedia page for fish
I know these are
salmon
would you
would you shoot a koi fish
would you
I mean sure we'll shoot a beta fish
those things deserve to be put out of their memory
an Alaskan tooth fish
how do you know
are you on a Wikipedia page
no I think that's what
Seabass used to be called
Alaskan tooth fish
yeah and nobody bought it
because it sounds like you're just biting into teeth
yeah
don't quote me on that
but there is a fish that people eat now
and I think it's Seabass
and I think the original name for it was
something tooth fish
right
and they changed it
and it's like this huge marketing win
because like
it's like calling a cow horse
yeah
or calling it a beef tooth cow
nobody wants to eat that
a gassy
shit maker
and then so like this like
marketing agency is like
so take your tooth fish
and call it a chilean Seabass
and suddenly people will want to eat it
yeah
and it's true
the power of the red word
it's amazing
so you don't have to misread anything
or read anything
or subtly do anything Martha
just be open with your feelings
and luckily for you
this guy probably wants to bone you too
yeah
let us know how that works out
I'd like to hear a follow up on that one
I'd love to hear it in lura detail actually
he says god no
I actually might write fanfic about it
how dare you you broach that to me
this is a studying relationship
and if you're not gonna
if you're not gonna open this book
and learn with me then
I bid you a Jew actually
more than a Jew
I mean like I
and okay maybe we will have physical intercourse
but I want to be in a relationship with you
afterwards
that means something
for you to ask this to be zero strings
there are many strings attached
and they're all more than attached
we're marionettes okay
and we are dangerously intertwined
we're stuck
we're like a cord
we're even having this conversation
we're in a Facebook relationship
we're Facebook official
and life unofficial
now I'd like to speak to your father
and purchase a ring
then and only then can we kiss
and then only then
can we study
you fail every test
oh what are you doing
I'm grabbing this water here
you touched my foot
yeah it was an accident
and I realize it means a lot
because a naked in a bed staring at you
but we are just friends
alright one last question
hey guys
let's call this person
oh
Millard Fillmore
very nice
hey guys
I already
sorry
hey guys
I'm a big fan
and got obsessed with Tinder
thanks to Jake
I already met with a girl
by having a gym day with her
and we seem to hit it off
however
I'm not sure what she wants
she sent me a pic later during
the day
of her abs
so I sent one back
and as soon as I did
she immediately texted
asking if we should hang out again
does this girl want to make a move on me
the night we hang out
or is she planning on friend zoning me
help
dude alright alright it's fine
this is an emergency
yeah help we need to
he had a gym date
and she texted him a picture of her abs
oh god that's
and then ask if you want it to hang out again
this is a
I'm sorry dude
this is a friend zone
she's absolutely putting you in the zone
you got a read between the lines bud
no
you know this is a friend zone
you're firmly in the zone of friends
yeah
look around
it's every other friend zone guy
that she did this to
this serpent
she texts her body parts
you thought you were running down
towards the touchdown
but you reached the friend zone
the ESP friend zone
I'm sorry buddy
you thought you were playing baseball
around in the bases
but it's football
and you're in the friend zone
yeah do a friend zone dance
friend zone because friends don't bone
this girl obviously likes you
what are you talking about
I think if you meet on tinder
have a good date
then she texts you a semi-shirtless picture
and asks if she wants to hang out
that's the opposite of friends
this is not it
how dare you make us read this question
there are people who are in actual
difficult places
you're just bra-
he's just bragging
I think it's a humble brag
not even humble
he's just bragging
this guy and the last girl should go out
as like the least self-aware couple
they're just like
hesitantly in love with each other
what should I do
I asked her to marry me
and she said yes
does she just gonna friend zone me
I think I might be the best friend zone
she might just be my life partner
I feel like I'm in the soulmate zone
I don't even think I can get my nut off
I think I'm gonna have to sneak down into the living room
and jack off while my kids are awake
wow oh my god this is all
all these questions are weaving together a tapestry
it's one family
this long long form improv that we've
we've devised
we've gathered
we've ascertained
we are kings
we're more
we're less than kings
we're princes
I am at the la quinta
I am the king of the quinta
what does quinta mean
I don't know
okay
did we ever mention who that first song is from
no
so that first
we're bad at that
yeah yeah we can
I always like say the name
and then the show starts and I am
my brain is off to the races
where
every episode starts and ends with a new theme song
that you guys can submit to
if I were you show at gmail.com
