If you're in a sticky situation Think that you might need a place
To run and try to hide away Look no further than a mirror and jake
And your burdens they will gladly take I may have overstated that oh
These dudes will give you some good advice Or at least they'll try
Actually I cannot promise you that But they will do their best to make it funny
Don't write an unleashed stunning The ends of the world
Hell yeah Loser No He was playing a uke
You're the loser You don't know how to play any instrument
Yeah And you just disparage people who do
But at least I don't pretend to play a normal sized guitar and use a dinky one
He doesn't do that Sorry I thought you'd be on my side here
He doesn't pretend it's another instrument
Everyone with the ukulele is trying to trick you
Yeah I think they're all tricksters
I saw you walk up to a guy playing the ukulele on the subway and you said
You're not fooling anyone I said I'd give you a dollar but nice try
Look at this guys he's trying to pass this off as a guitar and clearly it's not
It's some other tiny one
He's trying to pretend like he's a ten foot six inch guy playing a normal sized guitar
But I saw right through him He's five foot eight
It's small on me too It's not a trick
It's not an illusion It's just small
Everyone's booing me
That guy's name was Ethan Ruby
I like Ethan Ruby I like that song
Solid song Thank you
I liked the way he wrote it as he was singing it
What do you mean?
He's like at least they'll try to give you advice
Actually I can't promise that
Like okay
Yeah there are songs like that where like the lyrics contradict each other
Yeah it's funny because you do imagine the person like writing down recording them
Saturday in the park I think it was the 4th of July
Yeah like before you record the song just go make sure
Double check
Saturday in the park it was the 4th of July
Now that I think about it it was the 2nd of July
It was definitely the 2nd of July
Or it's like that Elton John song where he's like
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Oh he's talking about someone's eyes
Yeah
Oh then he's like and he also says
If I was a sculptor
But then again no
Alright then don't use that one
He doesn't know how to delete
He decided not to be a sculptor
But then again no
And then the song just ends
Sorry the song isn't going to be about me being a sculptor
Yeah you decided to go be a painter
But then again no
Then again no
So no song
Hey this is If I Were You the only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us
I'm Jake
And I'm Amir
I feel bad we can go back to doing the old way
You know this is our one year
This is the one year anniversary show
This is really?
Yeah the our first episode was May 12th 2013
Or no May 13th 2013
And now it's May
And now today it's in podcast land May 12th 2013
Holy shit happy anniversary brother
Yeah anyway so
Happy anniversary to me too brother
Brother
This is also I think the latest we've recorded a podcast
Like it's Sunday night at 9.45 p.m
Is this the latest we've recorded a podcast?
Or like the closest to it's being released
Like down to the wire
Yeah like this is borderline live
Yeah
Because we just have to turn it around
If there's any mistakes in it I apologize
We don't have time to listen to it
Borderline live and 100% irresponsible
Yeah negligent
We ran out of time we procrastinated
It was mother's day today
Oh yeah
We had to see your mother I had to see my brother
Yeah it was your brother's day today
Yes I'm his mother so I went up to see young Michael at school
So how does it work?
People are in difficult places obviously
Dyer's straight
Life isn't good always
We should do like a let's script a duo intro
Oh
Because that way you know it's not all the onus isn't all on you
So like we so we but we say the same exact thing all the time
People are in people are in need people
Alright people are what do you say?
I say people are in a in a difficult place in their lives
And then I'll say Dyer's straights straights if you will
Straights
But then again no
Alright let's try that beginning ready
Okay
People are what so how does it work?
People are in difficult places in their lives
Dyer's straights if you will
And so what they do is they email us
They email us if I were you show at gmail.com
And we do our best to answer their questions
Let's get started
Alright we have that we have that recorded all we have to do is practice those lines
I don't I fear I won't be able to nail straights every single time
Did you take a photo?
I accidentally took a photo
You just took a fucking picture I'm laying here shirtless
I didn't take a photo of you
The most I just I'm just gonna tell you the most discomforting sound when you're lying on a couch shirtless
Is the sound of a fucking camera going on
It's such an embarrassing noise like to be caught in like taking a surreptitious photo and just hearing
You know it'd be fun a prank like in a trucker rest stop
Like there's just like a big trucker guy right
He's the actor he's like just a big old scary looking trucker
Yeah
And then people come in and they're peeing next to him
You just hear the sound of an iPhone camera
Yeah this
We just play that
So the people we're not actually taking photos of them so they can't get mad at us
It's not illegal
So they like they some people will look over at him and be like did you take a picture
And then sometimes he should look at them and be like you just take a picture
You mean they're both at urinals next to each other
Yeah
Side by side urinals
That's really good
I'm gonna email Jimmy Fallon
What do you think is Jimmy
Jimmy at Fallon
Do you think it's Jimmy at the Tonight Show
You know what it might be is Jimmy Fallon at Gmail
A lot of people you know and thus probably a lot of celebrities just have their names at Gmail
I have thought about that before and I actually
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen at Gmail.com is me
Really?
I'm pretty I don't know if I can still use it but yeah
You also started Paul Dano's Twitter right
Yeah
You troll
You trolled Paul Dano
The real Paul Dano
You made a fake Twitter account for Paul Dano
I really did do that
Let me see if I can find it
What a small time prank
I think it doesn't have
Oh my god
The real Paul Dano
The real
I think it's the real Paul Dano
Yeah the real Paul Dano
Bio this is a parody account
Oh no it couldn't load
Oh wow maybe they deleted me
Dano's people finally got to you
Fuck dude
Alright let's get started
Let's answer these questions
Real emails from real people
We're gonna give them fake names to preserve their anonymity
Do you have a fake name theme for this episode?
Let's do kids I went to elementary school with
Okay
So who wrote this email?
Joe
Actually should I not do his full name?
Let's just say let's call him Joe W
Joe Dubs writes
Hello guys
I've been dating an amazing girl for a few months
Gorgeous
Brilliant
The whole nine yards
Our sex life is for the most part pretty good
But there's one rough spot
She has never let me go down on her
Not once not ever
She gives me head occasionally
And I could probably ask her to do it more
But I'd feel greedy not reciprocating
What's more she won't tell me why
She won't let me go there
At first she said she'd be too loud
But then when we were in a more private place
I still got rebuffed
I try every few times we're fooling around
But whenever I get down there
She clamps her legs and clams right up
Pun intended
So how do I go about fixing this oral problem?
I really enjoy eating girls out
Plus not to brag but I've been told
I'm pretty damn good at it
And we all know what Uncle Ben meant when he said
With great power comes great responsibility
Was actually if you're good at eating pussy
Eat pussy
Thanks guys
Excuse you
Uncle Ben
Uncle Ben
This is sort of like the opposite problem
Of most people where it's like
I want my girl or a guy to go down on me
And they won't
This is like I want to do it to them
And they won't let me
I can understand where he's coming from
I would be devastating to me
If I was with somebody who didn't like
To receive oral sex
Devastating even though she was down
To give you oral sex?
Yeah I love
Doing that
Yeah it's one of my favorite things
Would you be more devastated than if it were
The other way around?
I would rather
Interesting
You'd rather
You'd rather receive than give it
No I think I might rather give it
You'd rather give it?
Yeah
That can't be true
As long as I can still fuck yeah
I mean I'd rather do both
That's an option
It's not
I don't think I would be with somebody who
Like didn't like
Or not like but at least like you know
It's interesting to what do you think it is
About not wanting to get it
I've met girls who
Don't like it
I guess it grosses them out
Right I think there's like an insecurity thing
Some girls maybe
And some guys too
Maybe people are just like
I don't want you to go down on me
Because I think my vagina looks weird
I think it smells weird
I think I don't want you to be that close to it
And then also maybe
Maybe some
Girls are like super sensitive there
And it's not actually
It's actually not pleasurable
It's almost like being tickled
It's too intense
Oh jeez
Imagine that too intense
Which sounds like a good thing
But you wouldn't want somebody to just be tickling you
That's too intense
Tickling is too intense
Tickling is intense
I'll go down on a girl
I'll let her suck my dick
But tickling is where I draw the line
Yeah you don't want anybody
Sort of wiggling your rib cage
Yeah I love being tickled
Didn't I tickle you on the podcast once?
Probably
So what do you do in this situation?
How do I go about fixing this oral problem
Is this specific question?
Well it sounds like he hasn't done anything
He hasn't like
Really
Gone
He hasn't, wow I can't
I think it's a word and I might never be able to
I think this is the end
Jilly with the problem head on
That's a good pun though
You mean broaching it in a non-sexual way?
Yeah just like fucking saying what you're thinking
Because right now he's like
They talked about it, it would be too loud
And he accepted that
That's a fake excuse
Well I understand him accepting that at first
So then
But then he tried in a more private setting and she still said no
She was just climbing up on him
Then I think you should, maybe there's an issue that could be worked out
Like hey do you not like that
And then she could say
Give you the reasons why she doesn't and maybe you could
Quell her fears, maybe she'll say
I think my vagina is weird, you say I think you have the best looking vagina
I've ever seen in my whole life
I think it's smelly
And you say it smells like roses
And then you do go down on her
And you're like holy shit
Actually never mind you were right
You go down there and immediately vomit
Oh baby
Why did you let me do this
You should have continued
With some sort of ruse and excuse
I think you should, yeah you should just say
Like what's up, what's the deal
Tell me like it is, especially if this is your girlfriend
It's not like some just random girl you're hooking up with
You guys should be able to have a
Better communication
Yeah, just at least bring it up
What not while you're
Oh god
I think her biggest nightmare
Is this conversation right now
Being broadcast to tens of thousands of people
Sorry being
Podcasted
Okay, on a borderline live podcast
Yeah I would say
He hasn't even told
Asked her about it
He should do that, you should do that
You should talk to her about it
I also love like this is
My talent is being wasted on her
Yeah it's like giving
Best on my Casanova
It's locking Michael Jordan in a gymnasium
And not giving him a ball
It's a waste of potential here
Trust me, I am the Spider-Man
Of going down on chicks
What does that mean
Uncle Ben
The Spider-Man reference
Oh
Did not get that
I thought he meant the rice guy
Who's Uncle Ben's rice
It's the company isn't it
The rice company said with great power
Comes great responsibility
I thought it was a really good rice
No I think that's a rice oroni
Yeah
It was either the San Francisco treat
Or with great power
Comes great responsibility
Either way two parts water
One part rice
Please don't destroy this great great
Responsibility you have
Alright do you have a
Do you have a female elementary school
Friends name for the second question
Oh yes
Sarah C
Sarah C
Okay this is sort of a mother's day
Themed question
Perfect timing
Hey guys recently my husband and I
Have been talking about starting a family
We are both really excited
But I'm a little worried about becoming a mom
My husband has a great
Relationship with his family
Close and talk a lot
I on the other hand still have a lot of resentment
Towards my parents due to
An unhappy childhood
My mom has a criminal record
And my dad barely bothers to conceal
His old school sexism around
His daughters we do not talk
Any more than once a month and I do not
Have very much respect for either of them
I'm worried that I won't know how to be
A good mom because of this
And my husband is such an amazing person
I don't want to disappoint him
Or our child
Jake often talks about his awesome
Loving relationship with his mom
So I was wondering if you guys could share
Some of the things that your parents did
To foster your relationships
And keep you guys close into adulthood
Thanks sincerely Sarah C
Oh my goodness
It sucks because
She can't be a good mom
Regardless of how many good stories we give her
I was going to say maybe
She has the kid, gives it to the husband
Maybe
He deserves a kid
Because he had good parents
And that way she doesn't taint him
Regardless of how much she tries
It's not going to happen
I'll say
One piece of advice
Before I go into
I'm going to tell my mom how much I love
Mother's Day
You bet your fucking ass I'm going to tell my mom
Because you didn't actually call her
I didn't call her today
So
I think you can learn
By bad example
As well as by example
You were raised in a household
Where your parents showed you how not to do it
Your husband was raised in a household
Where his parents showed him how to do it
So you guys actually make a perfect team
Oh wow it's a perfect pair
And you can see who does it better now
It's sort of like a competition
God you are so quickly turning it negative
Yeah it's a game
You get 10 points for
Actually holding the child
Just birthing him
The winner gets
The kid's inheritance if he or she
Should perish before the parents
Yeah ideally it's a cash game
Yeah life is a cash game
Your whole life is just money
Life is not a zero sum game
Life is a one zero zero zero zero
Zero a.k.a. a million
Cash game
Where the winner gets cash
You're broke
Yeah
Cause I haven't had a kid yet
I wanted
You saw your mother today
Was that nice? Yeah it was nice
It was fun to hang out with my mommy
Did you tell her you loved her? I didn't have to
You and your parents don't say I love you
You and your parents don't say I love you
Rarely yeah
I don't know
Did you tell your mom you loved her today?
No
No I show it in different ways
I don't have to say
I don't have to fake it with words
Fake what do you mean fake it?
How do you show her that you love her?
I'll give her a hug and say happy mother's day
And you like
I give her a card with a five dollar bill
They took you out to every meal today right?
Yeah yeah I would never pay for any of it
I see okay
You're a bad son
I tell my mommy I love her
But your mom and my mom are opposites
We were talking about this a few weeks ago
Or the other week
When we went to
We were in San Francisco
And we were going to the baseball game
And you were talking to your mom on the phone
And she was like
Who's going? How are you going to get there?
The train or cab? What time is the game?
Who's picking you up?
What did you eat?
It's just all logistics
Who's there? What's this?
What's happening with this?
Like she's writing a journalism article about it
Yeah and then I talked to my mom
And was like yeah I went to a Giants game
And she was like was it amazing?
She just wants to know my feelings
My mom has never even used the word amazing
Does she ever ask you how you feel about something?
I'm sure
But she's very elite
She's like non spiritual
Sort of like me
You also came to the realization the other day
Right
Which is why I think that we're blessed
We're going to last forever
Yeah and we're going to adopt six kids
I really hope so
So
Would you like to give your mom a shout out from Mother's Day?
She's not going to listen to this podcast
Because we don't have that kind of
Relationship either
But my mom knows how much I appreciate her
Alright good
I'm her favorite son and it's such that
I've done the best job at being her child
I'm her baby boy
I would like to tell my mother
On this podcast
That I love you dearly
You're my mommy
I'm your baby
You're a little boy
And you're my big lady
It's not a nice thing
Alright I love you mom
You know what I'll say this
This is me being real right now
I wouldn't be a writer
If it weren't for my mom
Well can I say the same thing
Wouldn't I have been a different person
If not for my mom just by default
Didn't she constantly ask you to go to law school
Yeah
And that sort of reverse motivated me
Oh just like this woman
Yes
We'll learn from her mistakes
Perfect I love you mom

Amir Blumenfeld

Thank you, Squarespace
Well, let's try to give this girl some advice
Firstly
Asking two
Non
Parental dudes
How to be a mom is
Why
Non parental
We don't have kids is what I'm saying
Asking two dudes about how to be a mom
We're really out of our comfort zone here
But here's the thing
Being a good mom
Nope, well
Everyone says that they're not ready to be a mom
Because you can't be ready to be a mom
The only way you become ready to be a mom
Is by becoming a mom
I don't know how it's done
And maybe you won't know how it's done until you have a baby
And the most important thing
Is to give
A lot of effort
And
It seems like you're going to give extra effort
Because you want to overcome this adversity
So if anything, you're more capable than
People who have had better parents
To becoming a mom
And you shouldn't be worried
Or what did she say
Oh, you shouldn't be worried
That you don't know how to be a good mom
Because of this
If anything, it should motivate you to become a better mom
And people do just that
Would you mind if I
Attack a little bit of the old
The Jake Spice on this
Yeah
I will first
Submit a counterpoint
To that we don't know
Because you and I had moms
So I feel like we do know a little bit about good parenting
I think that we're not necessarily an authority
But I think it's acceptable that she would ask
So
On that matter, I disagree with you
Re her being a good mom
I'm going to disagree with you there too
She's
She's fucked
I think
You're worse off if you're coming into this situation
Like I'm going to be the best mom
Fuck it, don't worry, nobody tell me anything
I got this
You are like coming in with such an open mind
That you're like
How do I be good
And as soon as you have that level of self-awareness
Then I think
Your husband is going to help you
Your past experiences are going to help you
Your parents are not going to help you
Because fuck them
Your little baby might not have the best grandparents
But fuck it
They'll have a good mom
I'll take good mom over
Good grandparents any day
How many grandparents
Of yours did you know
All of them
You had all four
Well
My grandfather died when I was like
15
And then
They started dropping
I guess I was 18 when my other grandma died
Then I was like 25
When my other grandma died
And my other grandpa
Is still kicking
I basically only had one grandparent
By the time I was like two weeks old
I only had one grandparent left
But she stayed alive
Till I was like 22
Anyway
You're crying
Sorry for things getting a little real
But as advertised
They should
Now let's get to this question about butt plugs
Mom
Turn on the podcast
We need a guy's name
Okay
It's not that I don't have one
I'm just trying to think of who
You know what I mean
Okay
Let's call this one
Cory C
I've been with my girlfriend
For almost two years now
Things are going great
Funny and quite a smoke show
A goddamn dime
But here's my conundrum
While browsing the internet the other day
I came across a deal on butt plugs
At a mere five British pounds
I couldn't afford
Not to buy one
Since it arrived I've been toying with
How to approach the subject with my girlfriend
I don't even know if she's into that kind of thing
I mean I've shoved a finger up there
Before and she seems to enjoy it
But this has quite a lot more girth than a finger
I'm also worried that if I don't say anything
Soon she might stumble upon it and get the wrong idea
That I'm using it on someone else
Or even on myself
How do I bring it up in conversation with her
Or could I just get it out next time we're having sex
And see what happens
I think my health would be greatly appreciated
Where was he browsing
Where was he browsing
That a deal on butt plugs
Just came up
You have to specifically
Shoot us straight dude
Tell us you
Just like fucking
Sought the butt plug out
I'm not going to sit here and pretend
That that was a pop up ad
That he clicked on and decided to buy it
I was reading the news at
And I was like
Butt plug ads don't come up
Unless you're like
Who fuck looks at the ads when you're watching porn though
What exactly is a butt plug
Is it exactly what it sounds like
Is it just a dildo for your butt hole
Um
Does it have a string on the end of it so you can yank it out
I've seen something
Is it like a wooden tampon of sorts
You've never seen a butt plug
How would I have seen a butt plug
I've never seen a butt plug in porn
Really? Yeah
God
What is it
It kind of looks like
Like a yo-yo
It looks like the ace of spades a little bit
Except you know
Not the hard edges
Just like a mushroom almost
So you can slide in
Because it's thin at the top
And then it widens out towards the base
Thin at the top widens out toward the base
And then it goes
Very tight in
And then there's sort of like a
Just a cylinder base at the bottom
So it doesn't like slip in I guess
I don't know
But is there a string that you can like you know
Some of them have
I've seen some of them that have like horse tails at the end
Some of them have strings
This is the noise I imagine it makes when you take it out
I resent that
You're
So
I will say
There's nothing wrong
With
That's enough of that
There's nothing wrong with desiring
Butt plugs. There's something wrong with
Lying to me about how you came across the butt plugs
Have you ever used one?
No
That's pretty intense
Is it for guys to use or girls or both?
Both?
Anybody with a butt
So this guy bought it
Thinking that his girlfriend would wear it?
Do you wear it? If it's in you
Is it wearing it?
I guess
It's not like you would wear it around during the day
I think you like play with it
Right
I don't know
I feel like you can't just
Show where the butt plug
Cause then she's gonna be like you've had this
You used it on other people already
You want to use it on me
Imagine washing a butt plug
You'd have to really rinse it thoroughly
Yeah
Like you're cleaning your retainer in the morning
Actually
Rest your toothbrush on it
I think you have to have the discussion
With your girlfriend before you purchase
The butt plug. You can't be like I bought this
Butt plug. Put it in
It's too late. He found a good deal
He didn't want the price to go up
So I think I would lie and just be like
I'm curious
I want to try to use a butt plug. Would you be down with that?
She's way less likely to do it
Just bring it out. What did you expect?
You thought I was going to
Pull out a butt plug and I was going to put it in?
But maybe it's best to have that
Conversation to the heat of the moment
Don't you think like a butt plug
During sexual stuff
Is much less intense than a butt plug
During like a picnic
Like you're taking out a baguette from a basket
And then also a butt plug
Well I feel like you broached the subject
Um
Subtly at first
I don't like if you're
Hooking up and then you pull out the butt plug
She might balk at that
She might be like whoa stop I'm putting my clothes on
It's a mood killer. But I think you're
Out at lunch and you're talking about your sex life
Like oh man I've never been so happy
Is there anything that like
You would like me to do sexually
Butt plugs
I think you say I love
Anal stuff
I'm like curious about exploring that world
You feel it out. You see if she's down
You don't like butt stuff so you don't understand
Yeah so you're saying like the butt
Plug itself you have to insert it into the
Conversation slowly at first
And then you shove it right in
You don't have to shove it right in
And then at the end of the conversation
I've never seen you struggle more with this
You're usually looking at it
It's the
Performance of it
Yeah I think you
You gotta
Just bring it up then
Introduce the fact that you
Are gonna buy it. Like never tell her
That you bought the butt plug without her knowing
I think this guy should go to prison
I think
Sodomy is a sin worth
Dying for. I think this guy
Doesn't deserve to have a girlfriend
Or a life of his own. He is
Hedonistic
He is motivated by I guess
The devil or something worse
And he shouldn't
Shove this object of
Satan into anyone's rectum
Let alone hers
No I guess your advice was good
Talk to her about it. Though I would say
Do it during the heat of the moment
Alright that's fair
Really? No I disagree
But it's your advice
I just
If this is break time I want to announce
That I found the Paul Dano twitter
Okay yeah this is good
It is break time. Alright great
Cause um
Talk more into the mic. I'm afraid people will miss it out
Alright yeah this is my
I guess like
So you started a twitter account
Wow this is crazy. May
May 10th. Oh no it started
In March. Oh. I just found one
From May 10th 2012
It started in February. Cause somebody on our sub
Reddit shout out to r slash
Jake and Amir
Said that we are one year anniversary
And the podcast is coming up
And then I realized that it's also like the
Is it 7 year
7 year anniversary of the
Jake and Amir video starting
Also in May. So I feel like we only start
Shit in May. And then you're like oh this twitter
Account also started
Not in May though in March. Still spring
Still accounting it
Dude I think that we're in bloom
That's what's up. The rebirth
Of our brains. I agree
So how many tweets do you have from this
Faldeno account. Also why did you start it
I don't. I think I was just like
I must have been really bored
Um
I have 36 tweets
There's
I'm following 7 people
And I have 1600 followers
1600. That's pretty good. That's a lot
Jesus
The first tweet
The first thing I tweeted was eclipse
Then the next day
I tweeted solar eclipse
Then the next day I tweeted
Total lunar eclipse
So you're
The game here is that Faldeno
Is just interested in
Some weird astrology hobbyist
Well I think I just wanted him to seem
Really really deep in artsy
And sort of like
Ambiguous. But then
There's also a whole bunch
Of
What was the last tweet
The one that you did in May of 2013
The week we started this podcast
Um
Well the last one I
I did was September 27th
2012 and I just wrote complete
So what did you say was in May
I started in March and you thought it was May
Yeah. Cause it said M-A-R
Or because
You saw O3 and you thought that was
The numerical
I was scrolling
And it was on May and I thought I scrolled to the bottom
But I hadn't. Should you tweet something now
I probably should. I just want to
You have 1600 followers
Somebody named Jim tweeted at him and he said
Uh at the real Paldeno
I met you in Cali man
You remember me we hung outside the hotel
And I just wrote back yeah
It's so subtle
Because you're not trying to make him sound
Bad or good
He's also a celebrity that would never actually have
A twitter account and he'll never find out
About this it seems
I guess the way I found it just now
It came up
Yeah
What's a funny tweet to do after a year
Are you really the Paldeno
Are you really the real Paldeno
And I wrote yeah
An impersonator would lie
Oh man you're absolutely mad
And there will be blood
Reminds me of the religious freaks we have in North Carolina
Haha and I just wrote back THX
You're so subtle
There's no reason to do this
No it's so boring
You're not making a statement
I guess the only fitting thing
That I could write is um
Maybe uh
Maybe I'll retweet Jake in a mirror video
Haha these guys are actually
On point in a way
And I feel like the blonde one
Is a better actor than me
I really can't believe I have 1600 followers
I haven't looked in a
Two years
That's almost sad for Paldeno
Is it Dano or Dano
I don't know we're gonna find out
How
People are gonna tell us
Paldeno, Paldeno, I feel like it's Dano
I'll go on record and say it's Dano
And I don't care if I'm wrong
Book them Dano
Another thing that I wanted to mention during the break
Is that our show at the Hollywood Improv
Is almost sold out but not quite yet
Our live podcast
On Saturday May 31st
So uh that link is at our site
Ifirishow.com
Or you can just google
Ifirishow live Hollywood Improv
You know we also
There's just like different ways to use the search engine
We have a show coming up in New York
When?
June 12th
Really?
You can probably buy tickets for that
I heard it here first
Our triumphant return to New York City
God nobody shows up
Just to prove a fucking point
Paldeno's there
Well well well
He bought out the whole theater to confront me
How's that for a lunar eclipse
Dano you sick fuck
I'm sorry
I loved you in the milkshake movie
Let's edit all this Paldeno stuff out
I want people to think it's really the real Paldeno
It's a six minute long podcast
How many times a day
Do you think somebody yells milkshake at Paldeno
Or I drink your milkshake
Um twice
That's not bad actually
It's pretty good considering
Considering how many times do you get called the pinch
The pinch
I forgot about that
Never forget
Ready for the last question?
Yeah
Um
Um
Um
Girls name
This gal
Leslie H
Very nice
You think this episode should be called Mother's Day
Or Butt Plugs
I feel like we should do Mother's Day
Slash Butt Plugs
Thank you
Hey guys
Hey guys
So I have a friend who is always complaining about
Never having been in a relationship
And how she doesn't understand why guys don't like her
She isn't lacking in self esteem
She always says how she thinks she has a great personality
And she has a really pretty face
Which she does
She always just blames it on the fact that
She's kind of a plus sized girl
And while that may or may not be the reason
She's single
I'm going to bet it's the fact that she
Smells really bad
She only showers every three to four days
And never washes her clothes
I already had to ask her to stop the car
Because she
Because her smell made me sick
And I blamed it on motion sickness
She has a really nice
She's a really nice person and a good friend
But how do you tell a friend
That they smell so bad it literally makes you sick
Everyone around her
Complains behind her back
And they tell me I have to say something
Because it won't sound mean
Coming from me
Just curious to see what you would do
Thanks
This question breaks my heart
This is how we're going to go out
I feel so sad
Why? She has an easily solvable problem
No that girl's going to be so sad when she's like
You have to take showers, you smell bad
That girl's going to be like how long have
People been talking about this
I don't know how long have you been taking
Bi-weekly showers, what sort of
Four days is fine
I'll go six days without showering
Yeah and it's bad
Do I smell bad?
You spent a lot of time with me, do I ever smell bad?
Sometimes I guess
I wouldn't say
Sometimes you have BO if you go
Three days without showering
Of course I don't
How do you go that long without showering?
Don't you feel dirty?
I like feeling dirty
I like feeling sticky
I like smelling my own BO
I love going to bed
Having just showered, wet hair
PJs in a shirt and socks
I wear a lot of clothes to sleep
I sleep completely naked
We often see each other
In the bathroom in the morning
I'm wearing a baggy t-shirt
Pajama pants and socks
And you're nude
You're naked
Next time you're naked
To be fair you're not wearing pants right now
That's true
Next time you're naked I just want to hear this
Make you really nervous
Food
So
You smell
Just a general
Dilemma is like
Your friend has an easily fixable issue
But you don't want to broach it
I've had this issue with friends
They're like, oh this guy or this girl
Does this one thing
And they can just not do it
And everybody would like them more
And as your friend it would help
It would be very helpful to tell them what it is
But it might come at the sacrifice
Of making it weird for the next couple
Days, weeks, months
If it's something in your teeth or your fly down
It's like a little uncomfortable to tell somebody
Pick your teeth
But I think as a person
I'd rather have that moment of
Discomfort and then have clean teeth
And this is like a
A bigger scale problem
Than that because you have to have a real uncomfortable conversation
But I wonder if you could just be
Like
Wow you kind of smell bad today
When was the last time you showered
This week
You smell bad today
You could start it now
Pretend that it just started to be a problem
So you're like
I think the thing that's painful
Is say
With anything like this
You say something and you're like
How long has this been building up
How long have I smelled bad
So you just say
Hey you smell bad
As if you're saying it for the first time
You just noticed and it's like what really
I should
And then she showers
And then that's good
Positive reinforcement
And then next time she smells again
You've already established that you'll just say something
So you get in her car like whoa you reek
And she's like wow
This is the second time you told me that
Yeah I think you're starting to smell a bit
You should shower
Your hair's greasy too
But you play it off like this is just the new relationship
This is what you've discovered
This has pent up for so long
And I finally have to say something
You smell and you always have
I totally agree with telling people
Though I have a personal story
That this reminds me of
Where somebody told me something
Where like I was already doing the thing
So I remember in high school
I had zits
I had acne, greasy face
Red face
And one of my female friends
While we were on the phone once
By the way
Do you know about
Clearacell and Neutrogena
Like this gel
You can wash your face
Yes I know about that
I'm just saying maybe it'll help you out
I was like I'm already using that
You bitch
What a backfire
I just felt like
Now I know everyone's talking about my skin
And also I'm already doing the thing
That you're suggesting
Now what girl
You fucked me
The only solace
I could take in this
Was that people weren't paying as much attention
To my face as I was paying attention
To my face and now I know that's not true
I had the worst type of acne
Which was like bad but not bad enough
To have Accutane
Which is like the miracle
Pill that just destroys your entire body
And also acne
Really? That's what Accutane does?
It's like an atomic bomb
It like thins out every cell in your body
It does stop acne but also
It makes your eyes yellow and dry
Your fingernails thin
Your toes stop working
Well I just really wanted clear skin
Kids with worse skin than me
Had better skin within six weeks
Because they had Accutane
Now isn't there like
I wonder if Accutane is still legal
Like that shit was fucking dangerous
That was like a really
It only people kept using it
Because teens hate zits that much
Like yeah I don't care if it causes
Depression and suicidal tendency
Crazy thoughts
I don't know if this is a real story
If it was just like an anecdote they told us in health glass
But there was like these kids were using
They were like sniffing some type of glue to get high
And they like put labels all over this glue
They were like don't sniff it
It's dangerous whatever whatever
And people were still doing it
And then they just printed on the label
Sniffing this glue causes breakouts
And they stopped
Oh yeah it's so funny
Kids will do anything as long as it means they don't get zits
Zits are the fucking worst
I remember I had a zit a couple months ago
It was like the first one I had to deal with
In years
I couldn't stop thinking about it
I just pulled it up and it says
Pulled from the market
Accutane's still available nonetheless
And that was in 2012
So I guess they did eventually
Pull an Accutane
Though it's still available through generic manufacturers
Alright
I'll take suicidal thoughts
And thin fingernails
I'm having suicidal thoughts because I have bad skin
Oh god
So what should this person do?
Bring it up as if it's a new problem for her
That's what I would do
You treat it
As you
You treat it like you should have from the beginning
You should have said something right away
I'm bothering you and you guys are friends
Yeah but don't sit her down and make a big deal out of it
I think that's where
That's the danger zone
This is an intervention for your stench
Right
Yeah a stench intervention
Yeah that's good
That's really good actually
Thank you
I'm getting pretty good at this old advice thing
After a year we're not actually half bad anymore
Oh my god
We're now half good
We're just more optimistic about it
We're a little confident
Thanks so much for listening guys
If you've listened to every episode
Maybe we should send them like
Money
Yeah like 25 bucks cash
That's cool we have advertisers
We can afford it
Thanks for listening to this episode
And any episode you've ever listened to
Yeah traffic is still going up
I remember the first week we were like
That's what we should have been doing
Like an appreciation
Yeah we should have been telling stories from the very
The very first podcast
Well I remember the very first podcast came out
And I told
My then girlfriend
You know can we just talk about her for a second
I remember telling her I was like
I really hope that it just breaks 20,000
Listeners the first week
Like I don't know where I got that number
But I was like 20,000 in a week would be really cool
And
It eventually broke 20,000
Like the first couple days
And by the end of the first week it had like
25,000 I was like alright this is huge
This is cool and like we were like climbing the iTunes charts
And now our episodes get
25,000 listens within the first day
That's fucking dope
So that means next year
We'll be getting 50,000 a day
And the year after that it'll double again
And the year after that again
This is us holding a gun to a fan
You hear that
See you better start spreading the word
See
Plugging his nose trying to dump Accutane in his mouth
