Starting point is 00:03:31 used to always like either do a house party or rent out a bar and it was really great yeah then we upgraded i think we upgraded to um to extravagant trips we like rented a mansion in upstate new york we brought like 20 people and then we did like the same thing the next year in the pokonos it's like a co-ed bachelor party yeah it's and like that it felt like a big party because there were so many people and everybody brought like fancy clothes it felt like we were like living in a haunted mansion which was awesome then last year i went to a wedding which was great uh because it was like a built-in party that was oh that's a cool thing a new year's eve wedding yeah i don't mind that um but now this year i feel like since i went to a wedding last year i broke the chain of
Starting point is 00:04:15 hanging like now all of our friends are doing different stuff right this is my first this is my first new year's in la right and then it's like what do you do in la what kind of new years do you want i want a do you want to dress up yeah i want to wear like i don't want to wear like a suit but i want to wear a collared shirt and and a jacket i want a classy affair that turns into a little bit of a debauchery i see i want like i want uh gatsby meets the virgin oh interesting so you want everybody great gatsby hit uh hip hop top 40 party got it so you want everyone to dress up like it's a nice night but to be dancing like it's a stinky basement yeah yeah i guess i do are you willing to pay cash because a lot of these places have covers you know yeah i will i suggest they're
Starting point is 00:05:01 going to the like there's some insane party that they do at the train station here oh at union station yeah but it's like $150 but there's it seems like there's so much going on that sounds fun because then you could do a little bit of everything yeah food yeah there's food there's like four different i didn't hear that recommendation did you tell me that recommendation i don't think you ever floated that idea to me uh no because i floated it to uh jill and she shot it down because it was too expensive of course but now that you own bitcoin cash everything is sort of money is not an object to me because i'm either rich or poor yeah i'm where that little thing is that's pretty good it's like that's a good tagline for bitcoin it's like bitcoin money is not an
Starting point is 00:05:46 object oh because it's like you know it's not an object it's digital currency that's true all right but for now we want it to start the new year off right since after all this is if i were you the only advice podcast on the internet that we host hamamir i'm jake uh we are gonna start it off lightning round style so i asked uh our twitter followers if they had any quick questions for us we're gonna try to get through as many as possible just to uh set the pace for the new year 2018 we're gonna try to answer as many fucking questions as possible lightning round uh do you see any good ones i scrolled very to the very very bottom uh because i felt like i wanted to reward that person the people that that first person they answered very very first person i believe the very
Starting point is 00:06:32 very first person said wine or beer oh cool uh i don't love either but i prefer wine because i don't think there's a beer that i enjoy as much as like a white wine which sort of tastes sweet enough for me to like yeah i i agree i'm a big whiskey drinker as y'all know but if i give him this wine given this choice i think i mean i can enjoy both i just don't like to drink more than one or two beers yeah i don't like to drink like more than a couple glasses of wine because it i do not like the kind of drunk wine gets me yeah it's hard to i don't i guess it's not hard but i don't i rarely drink enough wine to get drunk or enough beer to get drunk right i don't do either of that it's too much liquid per alcohol for such losers but i like a good a big a nice full-bodied red a nice
Starting point is 00:07:29 earthy earthy red a mall bet with a with a steak i like a stout and i like a fucking hoppy bro i want chips and walk you're so heavy i can't even lift the stein i want a glass give me a horn of your finest ale brother i want a mead so thick i can't even pour it out of the fucking bottle i service myself meat and mead meat and mead for my brethren what's that meat and mead got it let me sit at your table i am a vegetarian that is though mr some tempeh for my brothers and a riesling to go in a plastic shoe yeah uh oh here we go biggest regret of 2017 writes andrea ooh i know what yours is is it selling bitcoin at 19 000 hoping that it'll fall down and then it
Starting point is 00:08:35 just never did and then yeah yeah that's that's what i thought it was yeah and then sorry i sold it at 16 000 hoping it would fall then bought back in at 19 000 because i got scared and then it fell back down so yeah regrets i got some yeah yeah um i can't really think of any i'm sure i have them though regrets uh let me think if i can think of any for you oh that really dumb i mean i don't regret it now but like i had that pretty dumb like flight itinerary a flight itinerary when i went to in in october when i went to my friend's wedding and i like for some reason flew out of hartford at six a.m the next day oh yeah no it was too hard for wasn't it well i flew at six a.m from boise to new york which didn't make any sense because as soon as i landed in new york i took the
Starting point is 00:09:28 train back to connecticut and then on saturday i had my friend's wedding and that morning i had a six a.m flight out of hartford that i had to wake up at three thirty four wake up at three thirty it was the dumbest itinerary you could possibly imagine and i landed here and i took the train to santa barbara okay follow up how much american money would someone have to pay you to eat a tablespoon of human cum um let's say the cum was safe you knew it was like from a clean guy oh i was gonna say a thousand dollars before you even told me that i'd probably do it for a thousand bucks really a thousand dollars to drink a tablespoon of my semen you didn't say yours well i do that for way less for yours i would do it for 50 bucks i'd do it for a fucking fun for the for the
Starting point is 00:10:16 shits and the giggles i'd be too scared to do it for a thousand dollars i mean it wouldn't taste good but it's a teaspoon right not or a tablespoon teaspoon oh sorry it says tablespoon i read well that's a huge fucking difference bloom and felt too late no i'm gonna drink a glass here comes the plane where's it gonna land some come and meet for my friends um amir are you going to burning man this year with jake writes andrea dash carrot you're not even going to burning man not this year because i'm getting married the week before but you know what i actually did i i've said in the past that i don't think i'll ever go to burning man again and now and now i think i want to go back i want to go back uh not this year next year do you think it's changed since you've gone
Starting point is 00:11:04 if you go next year how many years would it be four years apart yeah i think so i think i went in 2013 yeah and or 24 yeah i went in 20 no i yeah what year did we move to la i think 2013 then i went i went that yeah i went that year in 2013 the year yeah we i went in august and we moved in december oh wow so you'll go so it'll be five years after that and you do want to go back i do want to go back why do you want to go back um i guess i feel like i want to go i want to take my brother because i think he'd really like it and i think it'd be like a fun uh brotherly bonding activity oh and i don't know i think that like i learned you learned so much the first time you go that it's sort of a shame that i like went and like hacked my way through and sort of survived
Starting point is 00:11:54 but didn't thrive and and how i could go and like and do it differently do it better all right well i will never go so that's fair the answer to me is that i'm not going back with jay you would you would hate um all right you got a question uh where did you find the guy who played larence in the barbershop quartet that is a great question uh the episode i feel like that how did that person ask that they had had to have known larence uh the we had an episode where i'm in a barbershop quartet it was me a new dan who are all college human producers and then a 53 year old middle aged man who was older than 53 i think who was not an actor not not that he won a contest he won a contest i think his kids or students were like fans of it and he wanted to be in the video and he
Starting point is 00:12:46 was like so naturally funny because it was like no actor would act that way yeah and his name was larence his name wasn't really larence we named him yeah his name his character's name was larence when i was uh what does he say like i was 19 a fisherman found me and raised me named me larence and raised me he like he talked in a in a cadence that was so like unnatural yeah and i say at 19 you should have been raised and named he says that's fair that's more than fair he's talking like almost like an interested rabbi i love the idea of something being more than fair that makes it unfair all of a sudden doesn't it the most fair yeah is there a gradient of how fair something can be yeah fairness is the middle more than or less than it's not fair that's more than fair
Starting point is 00:13:35 more than fair uh but i guess you say when you're getting a good deal on something right yeah that's that's more than fair uh christina jonis writes you guys ever think about making some of your memorable sayings ringtones i don't know about anyone else but i'd love a yes dude or a ha text tone lol oh or uh that's fair that's more than fair every time you get a text ringtones were so big like 10 15 years ago but i don't think about them anymore like back in with all nokia phones you could program your ringtone and it was kind of like a cool thing yeah now a ringtone could be any song anything any word any like any audio clip and i don't it's still mortifying every time it goes off like oh shit i'm sorry do you remember did you ever like program in the ringtone or like you get to
Starting point is 00:14:17 choose the notes i didn't do i i guess i i didn't program my own in but i remember like downloading ringtones for like my old uh like not smartphone pre iphone and it cost money yeah you just have to pay for ringtones a ringtone or a text tone is like an alert that tells you to look at your like i don't need an alert to tell me to look at my phone i'm looking at it all the fucking time are you uh are you a vibrate guy or silence guy because i'm looking at my phone anyway uh i'm still i vibrate i'm vibrate you like straight silence you just know to look uh sometimes like i'll put my phone on silent to go to sleep and then i when i wake up i don't put it back on on vibrate for a little bit that's exactly what i just did do you sleep on silent yeah i sleep on
Starting point is 00:15:02 do not disturb i also i don't look at my phone until after breakfast oh really yeah yeah i gotta i'm i'm instantly i'm on that coinbase app with one eye open as you yeah i mean i'm trying i with one this is like it's very nice it's a new thing but that's i i'm gonna sometimes i'm like going to bed and i'm like watching tv and i'm just like i looked at a screen the whole day yeah like i'm i'll be answering emails and i have to use the bathroom and on the walk to the bathroom i have my phone out looking at it yeah it's crazy it is it's so sad well that's a good that's uh that's why i've got to go to burning man again dude that's a good new year's resolution segue do you have any new year's resolutions would it be to look at a screen less or you're not even i um that's a good
Starting point is 00:15:45 one i i have i guess you i always have like a couple things but um i'm narrowing it down i think that i'm gonna try to be friendlier interesting uh i want to like you're pretty friendly as is yeah i'll i'll be at disingenuous you want to be more genuinely no no no not that at all no it'll still be fake more like friendly to um like coffee shop bar uh clothes like people i meet out in the wild i want to be like i want to be a regular in my neighborhood places so what are you now pretty friendly or you just like kind of just stick to yourself don't call me my name i don't call you your name when i'm like getting coffee or something i don't say anything to anybody i'm like i'm when i'm alone
Starting point is 00:16:34 i'm pretty quiet i'm friendly to like the people i know and like when i'm introduced to somebody so you want to be openly friendlier to strangers yeah like when someone's like how uh what do you want i'm like oh i want a whatever coffee also how are you doing today yeah that's what i'm yeah exactly you want to be like the nice guy how's your day going yeah yeah exactly and that shouldn't be that hard because i'm like i am nice and it is free right and then i i also i want to like be more invested in like going out in my neighborhood and making people like me i want to be the mayor you know oh you want to be so who's who are you thinking of when you think of like the ideal amount of nice um the ideal amount of like you want to be are you like thinking of someone
Starting point is 00:17:17 like george basil or someone like george that's too much i can never be as well like this and i wouldn't want to be it seems like it's a lot of pressure maybe like a billy or an adam yeah even that's a very effusively nice that's true so you just want to be i sort of want to be me except two um strangers two yeah and not even strangers but just like uh shops it's a pretty nothing i think about it it's a pretty bad news resolution i want people who own coffee shops to like me more fuck it read more but like in new york i remember i used to be able to go to the whiskey and like as i would walk in the bartenders would pour me a shot of whiskey and like shake my hand like and i don't i've never had that in la um you want to be a regular i've never been a regular

Starting point is 00:27:29 similar i think larry's a little more like george so he's a little more anxious a little more frugal jerry's more like uh oh whatever i don't give a fuck so yeah i think that's what i like that maybe that's why i like him he's a little he's just a little more inherently likeable yeah i'll go larry because to me that is more likeable he's the more like a self-deprecating one and i like that about him plus i like the season of curb and i haven't seen a new season of seinfeld in a while so do you think seinfeld's better than curb though as a show yeah yes great me too uh uh got a question yes from tara is film school worth it i want to go to one that's pretty expensive and i'm trying my best not to think too much about the tuition but it's hard dude oh is like you have we done a
Starting point is 00:28:16 question uh podcast since twitter's up there uh oh yeah the character limit character yeah i guess not it's a little more less of a lightning more of a thunder round very nice uh it seems like a lot of the people we work with did go to film school in terms of film production yeah it's true it's it's interesting because like we're in i mean we're vaguely in like film most more like writing and stuff but like and we you went you went to business school and i dropped out right we were just for us to say like yeah you should go to film school but we also don't do the practical parts of it yeah like shooting editing direct i guess directing yes but but like it's interesting film people think like oh film like that's you're gonna get into the arts but like there's a lot of
Starting point is 00:29:02 fucking money in film yeah uh look at us we're rich beyond all measure and uh oh bitcoin is plummeting okay i'm ruined financially and otherwise we have to go back to the music industry is that it's or the movie industry is like a big there's a there's a lot of like jobs to be had and so if you go to film school and you're good at one of the jobs to be had in the industry yeah then i think i i don't think it's like any dumber than going to be an accountant yeah it seems like one of the practical schools unless you're talking about film theory school in which case don't do that what is film theory like when you study film and then like write critic critical essays about it that definitely feels pretty stupid yeah because what all you can do is like write stuff no one will read
Starting point is 00:29:48 and talk and talk and nobody wants to talk to you right of course of course um a lot of people would disagree with us but you know what you're not listening to their podcast they're right because it's boring 10 more minutes of that um favorite birthday presents from each other writes mean musical nerd wait what's that favorite birthday present from each other ooh nothing's gonna top my giving you the water pick i think you really like that i do love the water pick but it did break yeah but but even as a broken object it lasted you longer than most gifts have lasted you yeah i guess i also like the year that you got me the got rings shirt from the
Starting point is 00:30:41 uh uh the yankees t-shirt that was good got rings uh and then in terms of gifts that you've given me yeah can't recall even one wow that's amazing kind of fucked up there was a gift every single year it was a tie clip in there at one point that was one of the first gifts i ever get because you were into madmen uh i was really thoughtful the uh running shorts at one point i used them as a com rag why twice that's still getting pretty useful what's wrong with your semen i well it was an acidy thick stream and then what else what else we got what i get you this year what did you get me um oh squatty potty oh that's good yeah i used the squatty potty all right i'll use squatty potty thank you um got a good one i've recently lost 90 pounds and i'm looking good until i lose the
Starting point is 00:31:37 shirt then i go from a six and a half to a four my new year's resolution is to get swole and jacked what workout plan do you recommend ooh to get swole and jacked i like i there's something great about the classic the classic new year's resolution of just getting fucking ripped shredded hot sexy yeah i tried to do that last year and i got i got a i got months in but i'm not pretty jacked yeah i got pretty jacked but i never got shredded ripped crazy i never like went to the fucking like seven days a week balls to the wall absolute protein shakes every day are you gonna try to do that this year well now i'm gonna try to run more so you're gonna go back now i feel like i'm out of yeah i'm out of cardio shape i feel like so i'm gonna try to still do the weight
Starting point is 00:32:22 lifting but sacrifice some of that for like sweating because i didn't sweat a lot um but exercises i don't know there's a lot of apps that like kind of keep you on your toes and like i do recommend doing some plan because when you go to the gym you're like i'll just exercise until i'm tired you never really push yourself but if you're like trying to follow the numbers on the app where you're like i only need to do 12 i need to do 10 that's when you push yourself and like pushing yourself beyond the level of casual exhaustion is when when you get shredded and ripped bodybuilding.com has an app that that i like uh i mean usually i climb but sometimes when i when i just work out there's like they have they have a lot of workouts that are pretty solid um body
Starting point is 00:33:06 building.com yeah it's like the bodybuilding.com app for your iphone i use that sometimes um i also think that like the first thing i ever did to try to get in shape was just get a pull up bar in my house i think that's the best thing you possibly do that's good but that only that does like back in buys yeah it does it's not gonna it's not gonna do it's not gonna do everything but it like will it starts to change your body in a way that like makes you excited about working out and like finishing the job yeah um what's the best advice for someone starting out trying to make youtube videos their lives writes forward life best advice for someone starting out trying to make youtube videos their lives i don't know i honestly don't know we didn't do that yeah like we backed into it through
Starting point is 00:33:58 making videos for college humor yeah we never tried to make viral videos or anything yeah mine would always my advice would always be to like get hired somewhere that pays you to make content that they have a channel for yeah but they're not going to hire you unless you're doing it for free right but it's in i so i just don't i just don't fucking know like we i don't think we would have been able to just like put our videos on youtube and yeah and like has the vlogging train left the station like can can you no longer start a vlog because like nobody will see it i guess if it's good and you're vlogging somebody will find it maybe or maybe it is like it's really maybe you have to like i guess do what makes you happy what makes it fun for you to do
Starting point is 00:34:41 and then if it's good people will find it but that's kind of general yeah but i mean that's like that's the case with most art and creative things true true true so make stuff that you like and then try to find whether it's youtube instagram twitter vine rip or submitting it to random websites and stuff i miss vine um would you rather says got them bar got them out too oh really yeah it's kind of crazy would you rather live in any one city as a billionaire and never leave or travel the world with a budget of ten dollars per day for the rest of your life um one city as a billionaire yeah and never leave or travel the world with a budget of ten dollars per day for the rest of your life how would i so i'd have to be homeless in all those other cities no you can you know you
Starting point is 00:35:37 could you have the money you have now and then you get ten dollars per day but i yeah eventually run out of cash so it's like be a billionaire or be like a wandering destitute person not destitute but like hostile style ten dollars a day is destitute all right let's say it's a hundred dollars a day all right awesome billionaire i just want this kind of hard question i just like like would you rather be a fucking loaded dude who can't leave la or new york ever or um like live in hostels but you can travel to thailand wherever i guess you know thailand and the other places yeah it would the traveling shit would get old after a week yeah if i'm eating fucking noodles for breakfast and rice for lunch cash me in la i'm feeling fucking large that's the thing i would
Starting point is 00:36:32 be a billionaire but i do it in a fucking crazy ass city like i would bring shit to shanghai yeah that way i'm traveling and i'm this way i get to travel to china once and i'm staying there uh yeah i would do i'd travel i think though i would do one city as a billionaire for sure i know i would regret it but i feel like i just don't like the idea of closing off myself through the whole world i could never yeah at the very least you can say you'll you can just answer that question as a traveler because you don't actually have to do it oh yeah that's true so say it i would i could never ever sacrifice travel i have a wanderlust i would be a homeless person in southeast asia i don't even need the ten dollars a day you can give that you could give that to charity because i'll
Starting point is 00:37:13 pitch my tent on the beach i'll sleep and i'll sleep underneath the stars and i'll fish and i'll eat sand because that's what i need to survive and i love it because i'm not i'm not attached to any place all i need is my pentax camera and uh and a cup of joe forty dollars a day and some i want a billion dollars too i really would still want that and i'll live in i'll live in fucking new york city uh do you have a question um yeah of course this this dude got to him had he has a bunch he's tweeting at us a bunch with these uh cash related questions okay that's interesting that's really fun would you rather work every day for a year eight hours and 365 days and get 500 000 at the end of the year or have to take a whole year off and get 30 000 at the end of
Starting point is 00:38:05 the year the work is data entry in a cubicle no time off for lunch but you can eat non-hot food at your desk non-hot he's specifying the temperature of the food we get to eat can be warm uh so would you sacrifice a year of your life to make half a million dollars or would you just take a vacation and sacrifice that half a mil oh good question i think this is when i go when i go a little bit more less money inclined i think i take a year off and make 30 grand interesting yeah because i think i would i would be too sad for a year to do data entry seven days a week 365 yeah and eat a non-hot food lunch at my desk you tell me the lunch can be a fucking panini and i'm back in but you're right i'm out i need i'm taking the year off to toast that sandwich i need a hot salad
