Answering advice, it's Jake and Amir
Hashtag, start it from the bottom, now they're here
Answering advice, it's Jake and Amir
Hashtag, start it from the bottom, now they're here
Answering advice, it's Jake and Amir
I always swipe right from the jump
Trying to leave my grandma's house to probably pass next month
Hashtag, I was gonna do it on my own
Girl from home on Sims with her ex about to bone
And my girls want calling me like, what's that smell?
Went to the guest room and noticed a stale trail
Hashtag, I just think it's tiny how it goes
Now they're about to blow, if I were you, show
And they started from the bottom, now they're here
Answering advice, it's Jake and Amir
Hashtag, start it from the bottom, now they're here
Answering advice, it's Jake and Amir
Ha!
No new songs, it'll take that
You're a real friend, we're a real friend that
You don't wanna do too much explaining
Nice, he stumbled in the middle and then he sorta recovered
That was actually part of the song
Wow
This is still part of the theme song
Amazing
Hey, we're over here
Oh my god
That was a weird, I didn't like the ending where I started
He had to do that
I don't know
He had me singing
He sampled your voice
Yeah, in a weird different way
Oh, hey, how's it going?
There's a fire review of the Illuminati's podcast
On the internet hosted by us, I'm Amir
I'm Jake
And we're here with
Howdy
He's back
How goes it?
What?
How goes it?
It goes well, how goes it with you?
Never better
Nice
We are
In a hotel room in Portland, Oregon
And Dave Rosenberg is with us
And we had our equipment and we figured
We should have you back on the show
Since you were such a hit the first time
Yep, the price is right
Which was what?
40 bucks for this, right?
40?
30?
Sure
Yeah, 30
Deal
You're negotiating backwards
It's Portland
Yeah, you're right
Before I forget, that theme song was
Composed by Chris Estrada
So, there it is
Alright
Dave, how are you feeling?
I'm excited for dinner
So you're feeling excited?
All you can eat sushi?
Is it all you can eat sushi that we're going to?
We're not going all you can eat sushi
I mean, in theory, every restaurant is all you can eat sushi
You'll just keep ordering it until you're full
You have to pay for it
Yeah
How much can you eat?
We have an all-you-can-eat sushi place in Hamden, Connecticut
Yeah
Home of the Rosenbergs
Sure
That's what it says on the sign when you enter the town
I've gotten 45
45 what?
Pieces
It's a shimmy though
No rice
No rice, I fillet you up too fast
45 pieces of raw fish
That's how they get you
On the rice
So what do you get?
You got just the little slivers of salmon
Slivers of eel
Yeah
You ate 45 eels one night
Yes
So in one city you had 45 eels
Well, each piece isn't an eel onto itself
Yeah
It was probably like six or seven eels
Hamden's got the best eels on the east coast
I've read that, yeah, it says that on like Hamden's Wikipedia
Yep
Which is edited by you for sure
So, how does it work?
We get e-mails from people who are in difficult places
and we do our best to advise them out of it
Sometimes it's just me and Jake
and sometimes we have a special guest
Howdy
And then we are introduced to you
Don't need to do that again
Fair enough
You make the rules
I just break them
That's right
You're correct
Did you want to talk about anything before we got started?
Not just that
Dave's excited for dinner
I'm excited that Dave's here
That's all I said
I'm also excited for both of those things
Usually the podcast that we do right before dinner
is like have a good palpable excited energy
Yeah, but we're also usually drinking during those ones
Oh, that's true
We have to act so loose right now
that it seems like we're getting drunk
I'm pretty trashed already actually
Really?
Marty and I have been going at it pretty hard
You going beer to beer?
Yes
I saw
I'm in bar
Dave came in here with a can of eel sauce
Have finished
Get you twisted
All right
All right, first question
These are real emails from real people
We need fake names to preserve their anonymity
Dave, can you just come up with fake names on the spot
For these people, this is a female
Fake names on the spot
Yes
Of course on the spot
I'm great at doing everything on the spot
Just tell me when to do it
And I'm ready to throw you a name
George, right now is good
Right about now
It doesn't even have to be a fake name
It could just be any name
I know, I'm aware how the name game works
Lamarcus Aldridge
Okay, well, it's a female
We need a girl's name
Lamarcus
You haven't blinked since we started recording, dude
That's that eel sauce
That eel sauce will keep you awake for days at a time
Lamarcus can be a girl's name as well
It cannot be
It can be
All right, fine
A girl named Lamarcus Aldridge writes
I need some advice fast
My semester ends in three weeks
And I planned a trip to Disney World with my boyfriend
His best friend and my roommate three months ago
Him and his best friend are paying for everything
And booked the hotel, bought the tickets weeks ago
I really dislike my boyfriend
I have for a while now
We've been dating long distance since we started college this year
And it's been horrible
But I've been holding off ending things
Because of this fucking Disney World trip
What am I supposed to do?
Wait another month and go on this long vacation together?
I feel horrible because my roommate and his friend are so excited
And they already paid for everything
Is there any way out of this?
Love
Lamarcus Aldridge
Pretty name
I like her name the most
Does this resonate with you at all?
Have you ever been in a situation where you're like
I want to break up with this girl but I'm waiting?
It resonates with me because I went to Disney World nine times growing up
Is that true?
Yeah, we used to go every year
I don't know why
I don't have a single memory but I know I've been there
Nine times?
Nine years in a row
You don't remember anything from all nine times?
Not a single memory
I can't remember who is a Disney World thing
But your dad told a really funny story
About you and Jeff going to Florida
When they were in high school
He let them pack their own bags from Florida
And they were like super heavy
And when they finally got down
We were super young I think
Your dad said you were like 14
Old enough to pack your own bag
Old enough that he trusted you to pack
So he opened up the bags and they didn't pack any underwear or socks
They only brought the Harry Potter books
Old enough for Harry Potter to be a good thing
All of the Harry Potter books
And also
They had already read them
So to teach them a lesson
They had them fashion the underwear and socks
Out of pages of Goblet of Fire
Did you read the last Harry Potter book in one sitting?
No, it was two sittings
I fell asleep in the middle
So you read it down
You read that like 900 page Harry Potter book in like two days?
I know, I don't think so
I actually purposely would read like a chapter a day
Because I knew once it's over it's over
But my first internship in Brooklyn
I didn't have enough work to do
So I ended up like finding a e-book of it online
And reading it like over three days at work
Even though you had already read it
Yeah, which I think is more impressive
Because I was supposed to be doing work
And instead I was reading the book for like the fourth time
I actually brought all the books on this trip too
I noticed that, yeah
Your bags are very heavy
And you're still wearing the same underwear that you did when we left
You'd be surprised
So have you ever wanted to break up with someone but delayed it
Because of a thing?
Because it quote unquote wasn't a good time
It's never a good time
That's right
That is true
That's what I was gonna say
Breaking up is never
There's never a good time to ruin someone's life
You can always justify like
Oh I don't wanna do it now
There's finals
Or I don't wanna do it now
Her birthday's coming up
I don't wanna do it now
I have this trip coming up
Right
But if you just keep delaying it
It's just gonna make it worse and worse and worse
Yeah, and you're also not actually being sensitive
You think you're being sensitive
But like it's mean to just string someone along while you hate them
Right
So like the nicest thing to do is
End it, get at like
None of it's nice
But the nicest thing you can do is just
Cut it off
The end
What was that noise?
Your knife?
Ssshh
Ssshh
Ssshh
Cut it off
Ssshh
Like that
Ssshh
With a blade
Ssshh
I was kinda imagining a paper cutter
Which is why that noise
Oh yeah yeah
That's good
Okay
Yeah
Cut it
What was I saying?
Ssshh
You're saying the polite thing to do is to
End it
Once you make your decision
Because it seems like
Maybe you're justifying it to yourself
Like oh I'm gonna delay this
And after the vacation
Because I don't want to be a dick
And ruin this vacation
When in actuality
You just don't want to go
And ruin the vacation though too
Right
The vacation's gonna be ruined
Yeah whether you're there
And you don't like him at all
Or you're not there at all
If anything it's better for him
That he's going to Disney World
Once he's a bachelor again
Yeah you know
Why don't you just say like
I'll pay you guys back
For my portion of the ticket
You guys could still go
Do whatever you want
I'm not gonna make you pay
And like cancel totally
Right
Once you mentally decide
To break up with someone
I feel like you just gotta do it
Cause then it just starts
Eating away at everything else
Or
You can see if you can
Change it up and
Go to Harry Potter World instead
What's that?
The Harry Potter amusement park
What is that?
Florida
There's a Harry Potter amusement park?
Yeah
There's an entire amusement park
Built around Harry Potter
Is that true?
How do you not know this?
I don't know cause I'm 30
Alright
31
Chill dude
You're 31
I'm gonna maintain this reputation
Being a year younger
Than everyone thinks I am
Yeah cool 30 year old
Yeah so I think
I think we're all in agreement there
End it as soon as possible
Dave
Yay or nay
Yeah
Do that
End it
End it
Or see if you can go to Harry Potter World
Or go to Harry Potter
Change the entire trip
Right
You'll fall in love with your boyfriend again
You'll fall in love with yourself again
It's that magical
Alright
Next
We're fucking dominating
Alright
Oh we need another female name
Another female name
That's right
Minnie Mouse
You can see where you're
How it works
Very singular
Minnie Mouse
Minnie Mouse writes
Hello long time listener
First time questioner
I'm an American
That's been studying in London
For the past three years
For my undergraduate degree
I'm graduating this July
And heading back home to the US for good
I want to remember these past three years
All the experiences
And all the people
With a small tattoo
Of the London coordinates
Here's the problem
I told this idea to my friend
And she loved it
She loved it so much
That she decided she would get one too
I don't really want this
To be like a tattoo buddy situation
It's a personal thing
That I want to get for my own reasons
But I drunkenly approved
That she could get it too
Now I'm not sure what to do
Because I really don't want
To get the exact same tattoo as her
I just want this to be a unique thing
But I can't just tell her
Not to get the tattoo anymore
Because she's very excited
And keeps asking me about it
What should I do?
Help
I think this is the funniest thing
In the world
I love the idea of
Someone getting an original tattoo
And then just one person going around
And getting the same thing
As everyone else
Yeah
And just sort of taking that away
From someone
Stealing it
You're imagining one guy meeting everybody
With an original tattoo
And getting it
All of his friends
One evil
He just gets it
An anti-superhero
It's all usually when I was thinking
About getting some tattoos
And I may still do it
I would Google search them
To see if they even existed
What kind of tattoos would you get?
Of course the dark mark
Already existed
A lot of people have that
What's that?
Voldemort sign
When he summons the death theaters
He'll touch his tattoo
What is that?
Where's that tattoo?
That's on your forearm
And it's like a snake
Crawling through his skull
Right, so that exists
Any other tattoo ideas?
Yeah, I wanted to get
The chicken wings on my back
What chicken wings?
Some girls
And I guess maybe some guys
Have angel wings on their back
I was thinking
I like chicken wings
And, you know
Why not get that on my back?
Like the food?
Yeah, the food
That's pretty funny
Like where your back muscles are
Yeah
Like two chicken wings
Two chicken wings
That's pretty funny
I don't know if I said this on the last episode
But then there'd be like a little
Cup of ranch dressing
As like a tramp stamp
Like the sauce would be dripping down my back
So, okay
So, two chicken wings on your back
What are those called?
Your scapula
Yeah, sounds right
And then a ranch dressing thing
Where your tailbone is
Your coccyx bone
And then actual ranch
Or actual buffalo sauce
Or the tattoo of buffalo sauce
Drizzling down your spine
There'd be like
One of the ones would be buffalo
One of them would be barbecue
They'd be dripping
And then there'd be like
A combination of blue cheese and ranch dressing
In like a little cup
Yeah, that sounds like one somebody
Else would get
No, there actually were a couple
Without the ranch dressing
Of course
Yeah
I added that
To make it original
It's sort of a one of a kind thing
It is funny to try to take someone's tattoo
Away from them
But this girl already approved it
But this tattoo, the London coordinates
Probably
The London coordinates
Is that a famous thing?
Or is it just like the
Longitude and latitude of London?
It might be
I just feel like any tattoo
Isn't going to be 100% original
I think at the very least you could say
I don't want to get it at the same place
In the same spot as you to your friend
Oh, that's cool
Or you could just say like
Hey, if it's a friend that she met abroad
Just be like, you know what?
I kind of bailed on the idea
I'm sorry, I don't really want to get a tattoo
Then you come home, get the tattoo
She'll never know
Right, or you can get the same one as her
And then never see her again
It won't matter
Yeah, I think there's enough people in the world
That it's not going to like
It won't be a big deal if it's not
Like a totally unique tattoo
Maybe you just sort of have to like
Take it out of context
Be like, this is what it means to me
I don't care that she has it
And then your friend is like
It means a lot to her
That you guys have the same tattoo, maybe
Yeah, but it's a win-win
She gets to have the same tattoo as you
And you get to get the tattoo
It doesn't matter
Or you can give her a slightly different coordinate
Just to fuck with her
Like you tell her that it's like
Okay, 108 degrees by 112 degrees
And that's not actually London
Or just tell her the truth
And be like, I want it to be
I want to get my own original tattoo
If you really love this, go ahead
I'm going to keep on thinking
And then like, your second idea might be even better
I feel like this is an episode
We would write for our web series
Is you wanted to get a tattoo
And then we wanted to get one too
Well, if it was our web series
It would be like, I came in with a tattoo
And then you start giving yourself the tattoo
Oh, that's great
Okay, then what happens?
Let's write it down
Let's brainstorm this
Into your office day
I'm opening up Final Draft right now
We don't write them in Final Draft
They don't have to know that
Celtics, baby
I don't have to know
We write it in TextEdit
We did for a long time
We write it in Gmail
So what would you tell this girl to do?
I think just stopping friends with her
And get the tattoo
And live the rest of your life in ignorance
Not knowing whether she got it or not
Oh, that's cool
Yeah
So the only thing you should make permanent
Is the fact that she's no longer friends with you
Yes
Loser, ditcher
All new friends
That's my motto
I'm the opposite of Drake
All new friends
Every year, just a rollover
Here's a novel idea
Honestly telling her not to get the tattoo
That's what I just said
No, you didn't really
Yeah, you were a bit wordy with it
Yeah, you were just like
Maybe let her get the tattoo
Then she'd be happy
I say tell it
Fine
It's convoluted
Who would you say won that round?
Jake
What?
Yes, convoluted wins
I went flip mode
You're a flip flopper
Flip mode squad
Yeah, regular John Kerry
I swear, dude
Not my president
Not anyone's president, actually
He lost the election
Oh, yeah
Let's not get into that
It's gonna get a bit heated
Why?
You know why
No, I don't know
What, you think John Kerry won?
Did he win?
I don't know
You don't know
You be the judge
I am the judge
I'm saying he did not
Fair enough
Good then
Grand
Fettled
Anything left of this guy
Or this girl
We gave her a lot of options
I don't feel that we gave her
A definitive favorite
I say tell the friend
Not to get the tattoo
Or give her the fake coordinates
To a shitty city
What's the shittiest city
You can get coordinates of
Maybe somewhere in the Indian Ocean
Baghdad
Excuse you
It's probably a shitty city
We ruined it, didn't we?
The next consumer tour is booked for Baghdad
And you just blew it, dude
We're doing a Baghdad Beirut
To get sales for through the roof
Damascus
Do you think if we did a show in Baghdad
One person would buy a ticket
That's a good question
Hey, is anybody out there listening in Baghdad?
30% of our consumer Facebook fans
Are actually located in Baghdad
We paid good money for those
All right

writes
Hey guys
I need a little advice here
I'm getting married soon
And my brother is my best man
I'm not much of a partier
And I told him
I just wanted to get a chill
Get-together type party
So we planned a weekend fishing trip
With some guys
Which is perfect
But
He has recently mentioned
To some of my friends
That he plans on moving the party
To a strip club
Near the place we're staying
But I really have no desire
To go to one
And to make matters worse
This is a rural backwoods type of strip club
In the middle of nowhere, Louisiana
I don't want to hurt his feelings
By objecting
Or sound like a wimp
For not wanting to go to a strip club
What should I do?
Love Steve Junior
Sounds like you shouldn't be a wimp
Oh
Thank you
The first Rosenberg blast
Of episode 70
Sorry, Mr. Limp-Dick-Nerd
You're a coy loser
You're a loser for that
I don't want to see hot
Pussies in the woods
It's fucking best
Just seeing that fucking trim
Yeah, dude, that backwoods pussy
Are you kidding me?
Looks like in saggy titties
Oh
Little brown ass
Any stripper that you see
That counts as getting with a girl
What?
Yeah, and if you see a three-chick snaked
That means you got with three chicks that night
So when you watch porn, you'll say
I hooked up with someone
You're the kind of guy that watches porn
And says I got laid
You masturbate
If it's a cam and she's talking to me
And I'm nutting
And she says, Amir, you owe me $48
That's me, I owe her $48
That's her saying your name
Dave, have you ever been on a cam?
I don't know what that is
Like you sign up and you pay like
You know, three, four, five dollars a minute
To have a girl live watch you masturbate
That's how cheap it is
Dave just sprints out of the room
Wow
Five dollars a minute, that's not cheap
It's like for half an hour you're paying $150
Yeah, I only need a minute
I need a campsite with no minimum time
And if I do 30 seconds
Can I just Venmo you $250?
Have you ever done that?
I haven't
But it sounds intriguing
Do you like Strip Clubs?
Yeah, I love them
You love them?
Yeah
Why?
Absolutely adore them
Why?
Why not?
Because
American dream
I feel like, kind of like this guy
Like a Strip Club is like going to a restaurant
But you're not allowed to eat any of the food
There you are
Whoa
You know the food, it's a buffet
It's all you can eat, they're covered in eel
45 pieces of that Slim Trim Eel shit
I think I don't like it because there's
You go to a club or a bar
And like
We have, it's a competition
There's a certain amount of girls in here
That you're attracted to
I want to make them like me
I want to be the one that goes home with them
And fucks them
And if you go to a Strip Club
It's all equal
All of the girls, like all of the guys
It doesn't matter, they're paid
So there's no competition
It's like for you, it's like playing basketball
But not keeping score
What's the point?
Everyone has to have two baskets
Basketball, that'd be like exercise
I guess, there's no equivalent to me
It's like playing Monopoly without money
Yeah, maybe so
It's sure
So it takes away your element of quote-unquote winning
Right, there's no competitive edge
That's not true
The person with the most money wins
Oh, so it's sort of like a big life competitive edge
So the game you play outside the Strip Club
Exists inside the Strip Club
Because you're like, I'm the richest guy here
So the girls will like me
Or on the flip side, if you're really good looking
Maybe they'll charge you less
Has that ever happened to you though?
Yeah
What, they charge you less for a lap dance?
Yeah, Jeff and I will be there together
My identical twin brother
If I can get a lap dance for $10 cheaper than him
I'm better looking
Follow-up question, why is a lap dance good?
Isn't it just teasing you to the point
Where you're just annoyed at the end of it?
No, because I'll wear a pair of sweatpants
Without underwear
And I'm coming
They're just subtly mentioning it
I'm wearing sweatpants
I'm coming
When I found a way to game the system
Where if he just wears mesh shorts
With silk boxers to the Strip Club
He can come from a lap dance
And he was telling me recently
In a Strip Club that they make Strip Club
Specific pants
With like a cum receptacle
That's like ribbed
Almost like an IV bag
And when you're grinding you're coming
And it's like clean because it's like
It's like a plastic ziplock baggy for your jizz
That's insane
It's about time
Innovation
That seems crazy but at the same time
They're actually the sponsor of this episode
Come pants
For your goodness
What a name
That's the name of the pants
So the website is cumpants.org.com
You just got your first lap dance
Yeah, well I don't know
Would you guys justify this as a lap dance
I was in a Strip Club
And a girl started dancing on me
And it seemed like she was giving me a lap dance
And then she asked me if I wanted to go get a lap dance
For $20 in the back area
And then I was like I'm okay
I'm good
But what you just did was like
Rubbing your boobs on my face
I assumed that's gonna happen there
And I will have to pay you so I'm okay
Not doing that
Did you say all that to her
No because this was in Mexico
So I was just like ah no
No
What would you say I got a lap dance based on that
Yeah I would say she danced in your lap
So that's a lap dance
Okay great that's off my bucket list
I don't have to do that again
I don't think you did get one though
But why is that good
Why is that fun
It's not
It's just better than nothing
A lap dance
It's sort of a fun experience
I think it's just like
But is it better than nothing
Why is it better than nothing
Everything is better than nothing
Okay let me sit with that
Avoid of no time, space
No sense of self
Adject blackness
That's nothing
So a lap dance of course yeah
But doesn't it
I would say a lap dance is negative
And nothing is neutral
I wouldn't say a lap dance is negative
Do you actually get off to these things
Yeah
Like actually
Did you come
You bet
Didn't you tell me one time
That you came from working out really hard
Yeah I always come from working out
Me and Arnold
You came from working out
I always come from working out
It sounds like a very innocuous said
Like oh I just came from working out
Oh like you're here right now
And you just worked out
I don't know I just
I came I finished
While I was working out
You know I'm jerking off as I'm doing
No you really did tell me
That you like lifted weight so heavy
That you came
Hell yeah dude
I didn't even work out
You're not squatting enough
You're not getting yourself off
It sounds like you don't know what coming is
It was me on the treadmill
That's when it happened
You were wearing those cumber baby boner pants
The friction was way too much
Watching an episode of The View
In the middle of the day
On closed caption because you forgot your headphones
Back when Barbara Wolters was young and beautiful
You mean six years ago
Yeah gorgeous absolutely gorgeous
Those Apple titties
Teardrop titties
So have you actually finished
In a stir club
No that's disgusting
But you have finished in a weight room
Hell yeah
I paid good money to join that Jim
That's an equinox baby there's heels
In the fucking locker room
What am I supposed to do
Alright so what's this guy supposed to do
Well he has two options
One he could just be like
No I don't want to go to the strip club
Because after all it's a bachelor party in his honor
So he gets to make the rules
Or he can like feel bad for his brother
And be like I don't want to
I'll at least give him this
I'll go to the strip club
I won't enjoy it
You can at least enjoy it like on a novel
Like I've been to strip clubs before
Not like a bad time if you're with your friends
Yeah
There's lots of fun life experience
Things to be had
I agree
I would say embrace the stupidness of it
That it's like some back woods strip club
You're there with your buddies
And it'll be
And just try to see it as funny rather than
Right
But those small strip clubs are even sadder than
Yeah they're so sad
We came to this one in Portland last time
We were here
Oh yeah and you got a four dollar steak
Yeah
There's like a rule in Portland
Where every bar has to have food
So strip clubs have food
So like this like strip club is really small
Kind of sad strip club had like a steak buffet
For four dollars and I got
And I got steak and it was delicious
And I got a lap dance while
Or I got
I think I put money down while I was eating the steak
So like the girl is just
I ate steak with an asshole in my face
That's what I'm trying to say
Price is right
What's the name of that?
Just digging through his pocket for loose change
He has two forty
But he's gonna try to hackle him down
Do a chicken dinner and a fully clothed lap dance
Yeah and I was thinking
If you're like legitimately uncomfortable at the strip club
And you'll have a really negative time
You should just tell your brother or brother-in-law
What was
I can't remember which one it was
Yeah
Just be like
Yo this is my party
And I'll cry if I want to
Do something different
Yeah what's your advice Dave?
Just say just go
Suck it up
Suck it up, suck it in
Yep
Alright
You heard the man Steve Junior Junior
Did you want to talk about anything during the breakie time?
Um
I don't know
Any funny stories from the road?
The tour?
CH on tour, hashtag
Oh
This episode is gonna come out after the tour
That's fine
Any social media
I will make sure to add it to the deck
Oh there you go
The advice that I got for upgrading a hotel room that didn't work
Oh yeah that was really funny
Oh really?
One of my family friends works in the hotel business
And he's like
And I asked him about tips about
You know
What do the insider people know about hotels that I wouldn't know
And one of the things he told me is that
Front desk people have carte blanche access to do whatever they want
Including upgrades
So if you're very nice and friendly and you tip them
Odds are they can just upgrade you to a nice suite
So I'm like
So what you just
As I'm checking in
Give the person like $20 or $40
He's like
Yeah if you give him like $20 or $50
You'll either
You'll usually be upgraded to a room that's like
A higher value than that
So in Seattle I went to the front desk
And I was too scared to just like show up and say
Hi my name's Amir
Give him a $20 bill
So I didn't do it there
And then in Portland
I psyched myself up
I was like alright I'm gonna do it
So I walked to the front desk
And I'm like
Hello
And I gave her a $20 bill
And she's like
Uh what's this
I was like
It's for you
And then she's like
Okay
And then I'm like
She didn't know what to do
She didn't even put it in her pocket
She just held it awkwardly in her hand
For like 30 seconds
As if I was pranking her
Or she had never
She never
She didn't understand what a tip was
Like she was
And I was checking just at the same time
Just like cracking up
Yeah yeah
She was just holding this money
Like as if I asked her to hold this
$20 for me
Like while I tied my shoes
And then she's like
Anyway you're in this room
In this room
Like yeah
Are there any like
Complimentary upgrades available
And she's like
No we're sold out
I was like
Oh very good
Very well
I do Jessica
You grabbed the $20 back
Out of her
I want my money back at this point
I went for the risk
And it didn't fan out
Maybe it's like an L.A. thing
Versus a Portland thing
Yeah
Maybe we're also
I was saying
I think that like
A swanky ass hotel
Where like everybody's all like
Greasy
They're playing that
Like loud music in the lobby
There's a bar
Like a W
Or a hotel in Vegas
But this was like
It's such a
It's pretty quaint
It's like an old
Portland hotel
I don't even
I'm not even sure
There are sweets in this thing
I am on the 11th floor
Versus you guys
On the 3rd and 4th
Do you think that was a coincidence
Or she upgraded me
My room looks exactly like this
But it's on a lower floor
Um
So thus it's worse
You do have a better view
But your elevator rides are longer
That's true
My room is bigger than this though
I'm going to ask for my $20 back
Your room is pretty nice
But he said that's the risk you take
Sometimes you tip and
They just don't have the
Available sweets for you
Maybe it's also because there is
Someone else checking next to you
And it's
You know
Doesn't look good to take money
From someone
Maybe it's like no one's seeing it
It's not a bribe
It's just a tip
No, it's kind of a bribe
Ah, just greasing the wheels
A little bit, baby
Yeah
Maybe they don't want other people
To see that
They're like other guests
Oh, yeah
What the tipping works
I think they want everyone to see that
Yeah
That's where we differ as people
That's not the only place
I've also never come from curling
And you're not pushing it hard enough, my friend
That's right
And I don't think I ever want to push it that hard
You do
You do
There's no greater joy
Than coming in public
One rep max till you come
Keep pushing that wait until you ejaculate
Your bad trainer told you one day
What else?
Oh, we have that live podcast on May 31
At the Hollywood Improv
That's right
Dave, will you come for that?
No, I won't
Okay, that's
Checking out
If we started a Kickstarter
To get you to buy your ticket to LA
Would you come to that show?
Yeah, I will
Well, I think I'm going to come for the All Nighter
So maybe that will overlap
Oh, okay
Oh, no, I think that's the 21st
All right, well, whatever
All right
Kickstarter for Dave
Yeah, don't donate to any other charity
But ours in order to get Dave Rosenberg out to LA
For live podcasting
One time
Big Dave
Hey
Are you ready to get to the last, last, last, last question?
Let's do it
Last question of the night
Comes from
Oh, we need another dude's name
A dude's name
Easy
Easy
Yup, I agree
These are super simple, I think
This is almost the easiest part of the show
It's coming up with some dope, original name
Mini-Miles
Like Steve Jr
Yes
And this last person
Will be named
David Rosenberg Sr
My father
David Rosenberg Sr
That's not your dad's name, is it?
I can't utter his name
Is that another thing from Harry Potter?
Yes
You shall not be named
All right
Hey guys
So my lit teacher Carl
I don't care, you can say his name
You should, because fuck him
Really doesn't like me
And I'm not saying that in a way most teenagers do
About teachers who give him bad grades
He really hates me
And he's not scared to pretty much let the whole class know
He does this by responding to all my questions
With what he thinks are witty retorts
That are just kind of
Leave me stumped
For example
Every time I ask
Can I go to the bathroom, he says
I don't know
Can you?
It's not even original, it's just bad
Can you think of anything I can say back
That would make him feel like a complete doofus
Without putting him on a complete classroom blast
And getting myself into trouble yet again
Thanks guys
So
How do I make my teacher feel like a doofus
Yeah
Because he really
He really skates me with shit like
I don't know
Can you
Carl
Curse you
I have a cool retort to that though
To that specific one
Like hey can I go
Hey can I go to the bathroom
I don't know
Can you
Yeah I can go right here
If you don't let me go to the bathroom
And then you start pissing on the floor
You start curling weights until you start ejaculating
I what
Any ideas Dave?
This is a tough one
Ever had a teacher nemesis?
I loved all my teachers
Did they love you?
Yeah
I would never show for their tests though
Because I had IBS
So when diarrhea hits
You just can't show up
Okay
So I'm saying maybe this kid
Can sort of do the same thing
And act like he accidentally shits himself in class
And he acts super embarrassed
And the teacher doesn't know what to do
Oh
And then
So his problem is that he doesn't like being embarrassed in class
Yeah
And your advice is to
Diarrhea himself
Pretend to diarrhea himself
At least embarrassed in class
You get one of those stink bombs
And then you throw it at the teacher's
Why on earth would anybody
Just want to have everyone in the classroom believe that they shit their pants
What you do is you put a little stink bomb
Into a water balloon
Fill it with chili
And then you just sort of have that at your disposal
Then at the least opportune time
Say the beginning of a test of the middle
You sit on the water balloon
You'll hear a distinct warm thud
As the chili water trickles down your thighs
And the stink bomb
The smell permeates the room
And the teacher will be so mortified
That you just diarrhea in yourself in front of everyone
He'll be absolutely astounded
And not know what to do
That's your revenge
That's what I meant to say
Yeah, it sounds
You're tight
Unlike your asshole
Which is dripping with that chili sauce
Here's my
Here's my suggestion
You get everyone else in the class
In on some sort of weird joke
So you say something to him
But you get everyone in the class to
Just agree to
Stifle after
Or conceal their emotion
So let's say you say like
Hey, Carl, do you like green apples or red?
And he'll be like
What are you talking about?
But everyone will be snickering and laughing
Like trying to hold it in
And the fear of 30 teenagers
Secretly making fun of you
And you not knowing why
Should be enough to mortify him
That's really evil
I would say my advice is that this guy does
He just sounds like he's sort of a
He sounds like he's sort of a doofus already
And you're a bigger doofus
You should leave each other alone
Just go to the bathroom before his class
And be quiet
That's not just about the bathroom
It's about being put on a class blast
In front of all your peers
You have to get revenge on this teacher
He doesn't have to get revenge on the teacher
It sounds like this is really
It's like two losers fighting
Nobody else cares, you know
I'm kind of into it
I'd like to be there
What school is this?
There's nothing like a good teacher versus
Student rivalry
I agree
Yeah
And the only way to win is by
You're ganging up
Because he has all the authority
So the only thing you could do is embarrass him
By making him feel old
That makes me so sad
Don't be mean to your teachers
You're a teacher
Usually teachers are great
But this guy is a fucking doofus
He's a coral for crying out loud
You never take into account that the person
Who wrote the email might suck
Oh yeah
This kid
This teacher might be like a fun loving
Yeah
Like I don't know, can you?
And all the kids love him
And this guy is like
Jesus
He's just trying to get you to say may I
That's it
Because he's a lit teacher
He's into language
That's it
But it would be fun to secretly embarrass him
In a weird cryptic way
That'll keep him up at night
Wondering why
I see what you're saying
Your wheels are turning towards
Like you just want
You want to play a prank
Yeah
I get that
But an anti-prank
Where it's not really a prank
But he doesn't know that
Right
It's still evil
Because it's still making him insecure
And sad
He's a teacher
That's what I want him to make
I don't want him to feel old and secure
Sad and out of touch
Yeah
And then maybe he won't want to be a teacher anymore
Oh yeah
Yeah
And then he can like do something more
I don't know
Yeah maybe he'll tell some of his friends
About what happened in his classroom
And they'll say oh man
I don't want to be a teacher anymore either
And then there won't be any teachers
There won't be any school
And all of a sudden
We're sinking into
To Baghdad territory
A fate worse than death
Alright
Is that it?
That's it
That's our time
