unavailable. I mean, people have been buying domain names for 10, 20, 30 years. I don't know
how things work. But that's not true. I found three domain names right now. These might be the
best available domain names that I've ever thought of. You know, in previous ads, I came up with koi, oil.com, jewishfish.com. All these are
getting snatched up and used. So, guys, act fast because right now, you can purchase gumrat.com.

One more free bonus domain name if you're interested.
This is a five-letter domain.
This is rare.
It's dunt.com.

Oh, shit.
I'm Richard.
He's Chris.
You fucking ass.
You idiot. Don't you know all of our names?
You little kite Jew.
Wait a minute.
That second part was definitely
anti-Semitic.
It's an advice podcast
is what we do. And basically, Jake and I
receive emails from people who are
in sticky situations and they need
our advice. We don't know why, but we're
happy to give it. Sometimes it's just us two
alone in our living room and sometimes it's in front of
200 Mankidians
who
and some Scots. And some Scots.
And some Scots!
They all bum-rush the stage.
We are below everybody.
The stage is lower than every seat.
Yeah.
That's rare, right?
I don't know.
I've never...
I don't know.
Yeah, sure.
Of course it's rare.
You're right.
No, it's not.
I do whatever the Scotsman says. He's on a horse. You tell me what you say and think, sure. Of course it's rare. You're right. No, it's not. I do whatever the Scotsman says.
He's on a horse.
You tell me what you're saying.
Thanks, sir.
Oh, my God.
How did you bring a horse here?
Yeah, I don't know what else to say.
That's essentially it.
Has anybody here emailed the show before?
Has anybody here had a question that we answered on the show before?
This guy.
One?
Wait, someone? This guy! One? Wait, someone?
This guy! Really?
What was the question?
Oh, shit!
Which one?
Which one?
It was in the second show!
The second show?
It was the guy who went on holiday
with his friend
who he liked, but was
his ex-boyfriend.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Come on.
You have to come down.
Come down.
This is episode two?
This guy was in episode two.
Day one, dog.
He's an original.
Sir, welcome.
Join the show.
You were probably one of the first questions we ever answered.
So what was the question again?
You went on vacation?
Vacation with a girl I liked.
And she was going with her ex-boyfriend and invited me
as well. So
you were invited with
a girl you like and her ex-boyfriend
on vacation. At that time, I remember
the question. Our advice was to not
go?
You said not to go or not to go
and act upon my
We told you not to act upon
your desires. And what happened? I did not act upon them... We told you not to act upon your desires.
And what happened?
I did not act upon them until after the vacation.
And did it work?
It worked for a very short amount of time.
That's very good!
Come here.
Hey.
Make dreams come true, baby.
I'll take a short amount of time any day of the week, brother.
Thanks for coming.
What's your name?
You can give your... What fake name did we give you?
I'm Professor Von Strausenberg.
Just begrudgingly as he walks away.
I don't know.
Fucking Professor Von Strausenberg.
He hates Austrians.
I love that he was wearing
a seize the cheese t-shirt.
A little wrinkly, actually.
He didn't seize the iron.
Nice, dude.
Fuck off with that.
Fuck off with that.
You did me a jury candidate.
Yeah.
That was nice.
We're going to be dicks about jokes all night.
It's really dangerous.
All right, let's switch it up.
So, yeah.
Richard.
People write in.
They are in a difficult place.
And we give these real emails from real people, fake names, to preserve their anonymity.
And then we come to their hometown and ask them to stand in front of it.
And you call them out.
And everyone took a picture of Professor von Strauschenberg right great he's not identity is leaked there we go so should we get this party started Is my Scotsman ready? Yes! Awesome.
They yelled no, but so loudly that they must have been ready.
Okay, first name.
First question. We need a first name.
Tom Callum.
Whoa.
I picked out Tom, Callum, and Shmuel.
So let's do all three.
Tom, Callum, and Shmuel.
Tom, Callum, and Shmuel writes,
Hey guys, been dating this girl in British Columbia for a while now.
Like six months.
And just recently she came home and bam!
Out of nowhere she breaks up with me.
After a couple days sleeping on a friend's couch, I talked to her friend and she says she visited a psychic who told her she breaks up with me. After a couple days sleeping on a friend's couch,
I talk to her friend and she says she visited a psychic
who told her to break up with me.
Can you believe that shit?
A different friend of mine told me his friend is a psychic
and is willing to convince her to come back to me.
So my question is,
should I get this person to pretend
to see her future or some shit
so she comes back,
try and talk to her on my own,
or just peace out on this psycho?
Any help would be appreciated.
Love, Thomas.
Cal Shwell.
That's really interesting predicament.
That is a sitcom.
I want to write that, I guess, as a story.
That's the pilot of Dharma and Greg.
I don't know if they didn't have that show here,
but that joke was just for Amir.
Yeah, and I only sort of liked it.
You laughed.
I giggled.
How dare you?
It was more than a giggle.
It was a guffaw.
It was an of course of guffaw.
No, I did not guffaw.
Would anyone call that a giggle or a chortle?
Or would you say that was a guffaw? A guffaw. Thank you. A guffaw. No, I did not guffaw. Would anyone call that a giggle or a chortle? Or would you say that was a guffaw?
A guffaw.
Thank you.
A guffaw.
I'm a Scotsman.
Scotsman has his hands...
What was it?
What would you say?
A Scotsman.
Yes.
It was a Scotsman?
Scotsman are...
It was more than a guffaw.
Yeah, you started Scotsman just now.
So should this guy hire a reverse psychic
to tell his ex-girlfriend to get back together with her?
First of all, do psychics tell you
to break up with your boyfriend?
Don't they just sort of predict the future?
Can't they be like, you're going to, like...
She was just guessing.
Maybe the psychic didn't give you explicit information,
but she just said, there's some bad shit afoot
in your current love life.
Do with that information what you will.
And she was like, all right, I have a decision to make.
Let me at least get a second opinion.
She opens a fortune cookie.
The interesting thing, though, is that this guy
then knew a psychic who could easily be bought.
Like, yeah, I'll tell her to get back together with you.
Because it's not real.
Of course. Right? So you don'll tell her to get back together with you. Because it's not real. Of course.
Right?
So you don't even need to know a psychic.
You can just know a guy.
Yeah.
You can know an actor.
Yeah, just anyone.
Not even an actor.
Just a guy who's willing to buy a bandana, I think.
Right.
A bandana, a crystal ball, that's it.
Oh, no, tarot cards.
Have you ever gotten your tarot read or your palms read?
Yeah, I did once.
And?
She actually predicted me and my girlfriend at the time were going to get married and have twins.
How'd that work out?
Well, my future's not totally told yet.
I don't know.
Maybe I'll get back together with my girlfriend when I was 18 and we might have twins.
That's a huge leap.
Usually they keep it vague.
Becky, if you're listening, I think
the twins need us.
We were on the
Jersey Shore and
we were told that we were going to have twins.
I don't know. I think maybe it's fucking crazy
to go back to her.
Of course.
That wasn't even a fortune teller.
You just talked to a hobo.
It was a carny. He said, you're all going to have twins.
You mean that, sir?
I don't know. I'm drunk.
I love her.
I think I might not only not want
to get back together with her,
I would say if she takes a psychic's word
for anything, you should break up with her.
Or unless this guy's really manipulative,
then he could just use this
to his advantage all the time.
Especially if he's got a psychic in his pocket.
Yeah, like he can convince her to get back
and blow him every day.
That's your fortune.
That's your dream girl, right?
Yeah, who blows me every day.
On a daily basis, a girl that,
she blows me.
Not away,
but my dick.
Girl who blows your penis.
Yeah.
Like, during the day? During the daytime?
Yeah, it has to be during the day.
That's what I meant by every day.
Otherwise, I'd say every night.
After work, before work.
During work, after work, whatever.
As long as it's still daylight.
She's a vampire, so it has to happen indoors.
That's... as long as it's still daylight. She's a vampire, so it has to happen indoors. So it sounds like your advice is to
let this crazy person go away.
Psychics are not real.
They are unfortunately actual people that try to...
They're one level...
I'd say one half level above a beggar.
They're a beggar who said
You know what I'd like to tell people shit for money
So like a street performer is tops
That's like I don't have any money
But I got a talent
And I can juggle
At the very least I can spray paint myself silver
Oh I'm great at standing still for a long time
That's actually what didn't get me a job
In the first place
And then I spray painted myself silver
I started earning money.
Yeah.
So I would do the same exact thing.
Just stand around.
Yeah.
But then silver.
Yeah.
And now I have money.
So it's performer, tops, silver.
We'll call him the queen.
And then the jack would be.
The jack is.
Wait.
So bottom is a.
Beggar.
Beggar.
Beggar.
That's a guy who's not even doing anything.
Yeah. He's asking. He didn't even make a sign. That's a guy who's not even doing anything. Yeah, he's asking for...
He didn't even make a sign.
It's just like, can I have money?
Like, all right, at least get cardboard.
At least get like a marker.
You're embarrassing yourself.
You say as you count cash in front of him and walk away.
Oh, no, not for you.
I'm giving it to this silver man.
Yeah.
See how still he is?
He's a robot, I think.
And then if you split the difference
average between silver and sign guy,
you got a fortune teller.
He's like, I will keep you engaged.
I'm going to tell you lies.
If you think about it, some of the guys that are saying,
hey, this is money for my family because it's not that.
It's always money for her.
So they buy a tarot card and they lay it out in front of you.
I've gotten my fortune read and they're like,
and I'm like, whoa, a death card.
And I'm like, that's actually not bad.
Because it's like the death of something bad.
It's really rude for the liar who is the fortune teller
to tell you bad news, right?
They've dedicated their life to lying,
and then they say, I'm going to lie,
but I'm going to tell people bad news.
That's so rude.
They should be like, five dollars, sorry, pounds.
Five pounds, I will tell you your fortune.
For ten, I'll give you only good news.
That sounds like a really good deal.
Shit.
Maybe I'll paint myself silver.
Sorry, I'm thinking two steps behind.
You make pretty good money doing this.
It's okay.
Did you get paid for it tonight?
No.
I split my money with the Scotsman.
Very well, then.
So, could you date someone who believed in psychic tree?
Yeah, definitely.
Why?
Aren't they stupid?
I could date a stupid person.
Watch me.
I'm pretty dumb myself, actually.
It actually works out very well.
I don't know if you know,
I paid good money
to have my fortune read
at the Jersey Shore,
so yeah.
But imagine believing it.
At the time, I did.
You're an idiot.
I know.
So what is your advice
for this guy? Keep the dream alive? Maybe she's worth idiot. I know. So what is your advice for this guy?
Keep the dream alive? Maybe she's worth keeping?
I think he could do it without
the ruse of the psychic. I feel like he
could go and just be like, let's prove this psychic
wrong, baby.
If you're saying that,
no, that's not a good
place to be in your life.
It elicited some laughter that I wasn't expecting.
I thought I was making a good point and then people laughed.
Let's prove this psychic wrong baby.
To deliver your opinion.
You deliver your opinion and it's met with laughter.
That's eye-opening.
It doesn't just hurt, it stinks.
Two options.
One, she actually believes the psychic
and isn't worth your time as a normal.
Two,
she just used the psychic as a ruse
to get out of the relationship.
You don't want her anyway.
Either way.
Yeah. MoveOn.org.
MoveOn. We say MoveOn?
MoveOn!
So it is decreed. moveon.org move on we say move on move on move on
so it is decreed
number one
number one
what
that guy's peeing
alright
we're one question in
and we've broken up
a relationship
great love it
let's do it
let's keep the dream alive man
okay
keep breaking them up
ooh
we need another guy's name.
I'm falling down.
Dennis!
All right.
I heard Adam Oliver
and then what did you say?
He-Mate.
Adam Oliver Hamish.
Hamish Adam Oliver, actually.
Oh.
Thank you.
I like that.
Adam Oliver Hamish writes.
How dare you?
I recently matched
with a fairly good looking girl
On Tinder
I hate that
Grating not great
Great
So great
Richard you understand what that was right
He's so confused
You have no clue what just happened
We said something weird about women
And then everybody
Honked like a goose
So the weird thing is that you pinch and honk like a goose
Pinch like a crab
Or a lobster and then you honk like a goose
Imagine what went on
It's easy to understand
All you have to do is spend 102 hours of your life
and you listen
and it explains
why everyone does that.
All right.
Hamish Adam Oliver writes,
I just recently matched
with a fairly good
looking girl on Tinder.
Banter is great
and we have a lot in common.
We are planning
to meet up this weekend
in the city.
Fingers crossed
all goes well.
Sorry, banter is great.
Yeah.
I thought I said
banged her
all was great.
Oh yeah, he did not bang her. Banter is great. Yeah. I thought he said banged her. All was great. Oh, yeah.
He did not bang her.
Banter is great.
Is great.
I'm sorry.
All right.
We are planning on meeting up in the city.
Fingers crossed all goes well.
However, while we were talking during the week,
she seemed to get extremely jealous and angry
that I had other female friends.
And it seems like she thinks we're already
in a committed relationship.
She has taken it upon herself to call me pet names,
invite me to a family dinner next week,
and it's even gone to the extent
where she has already planned a Christmas gift for me.
As I'm not looking for anything serious,
but I could get lucky.
My question is whether or not I should...
My question is whether or not
I should avoid this entire situation
or take the opportunity that is in front of me
and let my future self deal with the consequences.
Thanks. Any help you can provide would be great.
Love, Adam Hamish Oliver.
Adam Oliver Hamish.
Sure.
So, you didn't get lucky.
No one...
This isn't getting lucky, right?
Well, he wants to get lucky.
To have sex with her would be a curse.
This coming from you. a curse This coming from you
Yeah
This coming from a guy who said
The best way to get back at someone is to fuck them
I didn't
I said
The hands are convincing me
I said would you fuck someone you hate
You said I exclusively fuck people I hate
Oh yeah
I only fuck people I hate but like she's
shit
let's say let's say how much can you disconnect yourself from the terrible person and just have
sex with this bag of but it's not that she's a terrible person. I could fuck a terrible person. She's like an insane person.
I don't think I fuck
crazy. I think we've talked, I think I
think I've said this before. I don't think
you have sex with crazy.
You don't fuck crazy. You don't fuck
with crazy. You don't fuck crazy.
You don't fuck with fucking crazy. Fucking
fuck on fucking crazy. I don't think
you do it. But it is funny how much she's
willing to, like she could be so bad, but just the promise of sex makes it oh, don't think you do it. But it is funny how much he's willing to, like, she could be so bad,
but just the promise of sex makes it,
oh, I can't not do it, he says.
How dry is his spell?
Yeah, he just has to try, at the very least.
I mean, she's already crazy.
Maybe he can have sex, and then she's equally crazy,
and then the only thing that changed is the sex,
so he might as well go for it.
So you're saying go for it?
I'm saying if I were you, I wouldn't, but if you were him, I might as well go for it. So you're saying go for it? I'm saying if I were you, I wouldn't.
But if you were him, I think you would.
Would you have sex with an annoying
person?
There's a difference between would I
and have I.
I wouldn't.
But I have every time.
But I would never do that.
Yeah.
But I've done it.
Always and exclusively.
But I mean, no, I wouldn't do that.
Though every time the opportunity has presented itself,
I think I have.
Yeah.
Which is why my advice should really resound with him,
don't you think?
Yeah, don't be like me you're saying
Do as I don't do
I don't know, because I'm also pretty happy
Oh, that's it
Fuck her
Because then you'll be happy
Then you'll be happy, you'll feel good when you come
And then if you can disassociate yourself
With her feelings afterwards
Which is real easy
Because you'll find somebody else Yeah, you just distract yourself with her feelings afterwards. Which is real easy.
Because you'll find somebody else.
Yeah, you just distract yourself with somebody else.
And if there's nobody else, you distract yourself with yourself.
Yeah.
Fuck a terrible person?
Please, I masturbate all the time.
Yes.
How do I masturbate with this?
This claw.
Ow! I did see you in the hotel room earlier using a lobster trying to figure it out.
Yeah, I was actually jerking off with a crustacean.
Yeah.
If you can imagine.
A crusty Asian.
No.
That's what we call them.
You said we.
How dare you lump me into that?
So, if I were you, would you?
If I were you, you you? If I were you,
you have. Yeah.
I'm trying to think of, like, when...
I think you can do it once.
I think you can have sex with her.
Because with this... This is what she's done. She's already
jealous and angry. They haven't met. Right.
But what's happening is that she's showing her hand
a little bit. So he's getting nervous. He's like,
oh, man, I can see what will happen next
if I go through with this.
She'll be really attached.
But that's okay.
You sort of just know what's going to happen.
This means he knows how to play it, so he can do it.
So what's going to happen?
They have sex, and then what?
She's already ordering, I guess, another Christmas gift at this point.
And you say, baby, I am so sorry.
It meant so much to me, but I can't be the man
you need me to be right now.
I can't be home for Christmas.
I don't want to lose
my friends. And then you give her
that really nice, honest guy thing.
Fake honest guy.
Right, fake. Oh, never real.
Never real. Well, me real. Never real.
Well, me saying never be real is the realest
I've ever been.
But yeah, then you can
slowly back out. You bow out apologizing
and then she hates you for a little bit
but then ultimately respects your honesty and then
you're okay. What honesty?
You just said not actual honesty. Well, not real
honesty. She respects your seemingly
honest voice.
With a capital semen.
Yeah. Glee.
So, I don't know. It's kind of, it's a
tough call. Should we ask the audience?
Yeah.
That sounds nice. A round of applause for
Yes Boning Her.
Okay. Okay. okay, okay.
I like the geese noises.
A round of applause for it. No, stay away.
You know what it is?
The people that say stay away
are like the normal people that refuse to be
too loud.
The people that buck are just honking.
Just like casually, politely. And then the no Just like, yeah, I gotta stay away. The people that fuck are just, yeah, honking. Yeah, just like
casually, politely.
And then like the nose
are just like eight
really loud drunk guys.
So maybe volume
doesn't really do the trick.
But yeah, it's a toss up.
It's a 50-50.
We have two different
bits of advice.
Have we ever,
are we just moving on?
I say fuck
or you say don't.
Yeah, I'm the angel
on her shoulder
and you're the devil.
Yeah.
There we go.
Is it the next question?

As a first name.
A female named Dorf.
His name isn't Dorf.
This is just a guy
that yelled Dorf.
I feel like we should ask a girl for her name.
A guy just yelled Helen.
That was a girl, you asshole.
Huh?
Joyce.
I heard Joyce and then it was echoed by a dude.
Joyce Dorf?
Do you want to knowff? Yeah, sure.
Joyce Dorff writes,
JD,
my ex-boyfriend and I broke up in November
last year, after about
11 months of dating. It was a mutual
thing, and I saw it coming.
I've been doing okay since then, a one-night
stand here or there, but nothing serious.
That's right. Anyway, I
recently found out my ex is dating someone
I know. I'm not sad about it,
more just annoyed that he's got a serious thing
going on first. Anyway, I saw
a photo of them pop up on Facebook, and in a
fit of rage, I unfriended him.
Now I
feel kind of petty for unfriending
him, but there is no way back.
If I send a friend request, it would be obvious.
Also, I wonder if he looks at my profile now and then
sees that I've unfriended him. Would that make him upset?
Am I a nice person that I don't
want to have him move on?
Anyway, I'm just wondering what your opinions are
on unfriending exes on Facebook. Appropriate
and considerate? Considerate? Somewhere in between?
I just don't know.
Love, Jamees.
Jamees? Yeah, what choice door? She actually wrote that in the email. Love Jamie's Jamie's?
Yeah, Joyce Dorf She actually wrote that in the email
Yeah
Joyce Dorf
Was her name Jamie?
No
Alright, great
I just, I thought her name was Jamie
But it was Joyce
Joyce Dorf
Love Joyce Dorf
Joyce Dorf
Great
She broke up with her boyfriend
Unfriended him on Facebook
It's not very, like a fit of rage Like unfriended him It's not very Like a fit of rage
I unfriended him
Yeah
I went blind
I only saw a white light
And I was so pissed
And I clicked a button
But she clicked it really hard
That's not rage
Her mouse is broken
I couldn't fucking help it man
It was a crime of passion
Yeah
That's how sweet she is
And now she's like
Oh my god
I racked with guilt
She's not sweet She is. And now she's like, oh my God, wracked with guilt.
She's not sweet. She's neurotic.
How dare you?
Joyce is my type of girl.
Would you ever unfriend a girl?
You go ahead.
You go first.
Would you ever unfriend a girl?
You're always asking me shit.
Yeah.
You're always asking me shit.
I guess the problem is that you never ask it back.
Oh.
Sorry, I just got mad.
What's your opinion?
Actually, here's mine. Okay.
I feel like unfriending someone
is giving them more
attention
than keeping them as a friend.
If you really don't care, you just keep
them as a friend. Whatever you see in you, you can block
them from your timeline without unfriending them.
That being said, she already unfriended him.
Don't re-friend him.
It's too late. That ship has passed.
That ship has sailed?
Oh, what do you guys know?
She probably is still
into him, slash kind of obsessed
with him, because this thing is kind of
freaking her out.
So I would say keep him unfriended.
The damage is done.
Oh, dear.
And, yeah, keep living your life.
And I think the fact that he got into a relationship first means he lost because she's still living the good life.
Living the good life?
Being single is living the good life?
Yeah, I think so.
Is anybody here in a relationship and happy?
Is anybody here single and happy?
Is anyone here in a relationship and miserable?
Two people exactly at the same time?
That guy's here on a date with his girlfriend.
But they're not dating each other is the sad part.
Those two people.
Is anybody in here single and miserable?
Pretty telling
People tend to be what makes them happy
That's nice
You can be happy or sad in a single or in a relationship
But I feel like getting back into a relationship isn't winning
He's not winning
He's not doing better than you because he's back in a relationship
There's no winning or losing
Yes there is, Everything is a game,
a score, a competition.
And this girl's losing, unfortunately.
She's at negative one. You said she was
winning. I know, but then she unfriended him.
I gotta penalize that.
That's a bad, that's a misdraft.
It's a tie. They're at a tie for sure.
It doesn't matter.
She doesn't need to be friends with her ex.
He definitely didn't notice
I don't think I've ever like gone through anybody
on Facebook and been like
is this person my friend
and that being said if he does notice
he can't say anything about it ever
you do this shit
you look to see if girls follow you on Instagram
how dare you
I'm sorry I don't want to put you on a Manchurian blast
yeah that's exactly what this is.
You'll do that.
I will check if somebody is still following you
or somebody has ever followed me.
Both.
True.
Have you ever not?
Checked if somebody was following you on Instagram?
I don't think so.
Bullshit.
This is that fake honesty you were talking about earlier.
With an ex-girlfriend?
To see if my ex was still following me on Instagram?
I didn't say it was still an ex.
It was just if a lady was following me.
If a girl I liked was following me on Instagram.
I don't think so.
We have one liar on the stage.
Have any of you guys ever checked to see if a significant lady
or guy in your life was following you
on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook?
That's no.
There's not a lot of yeses in the audience.
That was rare.
That was very neurotic of you.
Have you guys just ignored that fact?
Never checked at all?
Is that average?
See, they're just silent.
What about just unfollowing an ex on any form
of social media? Do people do that?
I think if you do that,
you gotta do it right away. You can't do it 11 months
later. It's okay to do it in a fit of rage. I think
she shouldn't be freaking out about it now.
It's over. She did it.
She should have done it when they first broke up.
It's just like you throw away the pictures. It's now or
never. Because then he's like, oh, she unfriended me 11 months later.
She's still thinking about me.
It's uncouth.
It's unladylike.
Yeah.
What?
What?
Excuse me?
It's uncouth to what?
To defriend.
Just keep friends and you can ignore it.
I think it's okay to unfriend.
Because you've done the real life version of that.
I unfriend you to your face. We up i'm no longer your friend i'm no longer your girlfriend but 11 months
later 11 months later then she's still thinking about it a little too much but she should have
done it right away i think that there's a clean break in the beginning that's what you do you know
what she can do is unfriend like a hundred people because then he's like oh it's just part of a mass
wave if you'll just unfriend one person you wouldn't notice if is unfriend like a hundred people. Because then he's like, oh, it's just part of a mass wave. If you will just unfriend one person.
You wouldn't notice if she unfriended a hundred people?
He should.
What?
Don't you take tabs on how many people your ex-girlfriend are following?
Round of applause.
You carry a notebook everywhere.
I'd love to see it.
You can't just call for a round of applause when you're done with a sentence.
I also do that at home sometimes too.
Did you finish the milk? Round of applause. Complete're done with a sentence. I also do that at home sometimes, too. Did you finish the milk round of applause?
Complete silence.
Oh, no, thank you.
So what's your advice here?
What can she do now?
Nothing, forget it.
Just, you're done.
Don't re-friend.
Don't re-friend him.
Stop thinking about it if you can.
De-friending okay, re-friending no-go.
Sir.
Oh, wow.
What happened?
That was just a guy
that I shook his hand before
and he was,
I think he's leaving.
I don't know.
You're going to kick my ass
in the parking lot, right?
Cool.
So we sort of agree.
Don't refriend. Yes. Don't re-friend.
And if you are going to
de-friend, do it right away. Sure.
Yes.
Sorry, yes. Fuck off, dude.
We need a fourth...
We need a guy's name.
Dave!
Dave!
I was...
Henry, I heard. I heard
I heard Moses
Henry Moses
Henry Moses
Pretty cool name
It's actually a really cool name
Yeah
Jesus
Yes Moses
Alright the Scotsman
You're Moses now
Hey guys
My step parents want to buy me and my wife a home
A straight up house gift It feels emasculating Hey guys, my step parents want to buy me and my wife a home.
A straight up house gift.
It feels emasculating.
Is it weird to say no?
Love, Henry Moses.
Everybody says, alright thank god they're mixed reviews.
A straight up house gift?
If somebody wanted to buy me a house, I wouldn't feel
emasculated. I'd feel like
I had a house.
That makes me feel good, actually, to be a
homeowner. You're not a
fuck-off. You're not a homeowner. Yeah, I am. They bought
me the house. The deed's in
my name. You're a coward.
You're a coward for that. Why? Because I live in a home?
What do you live in, you piece of shit? An apartment. I have a home. I're a coward. You're a coward for that. Why? Because I live in a home? What do you live in, you piece of shit?
An apartment. I have a home.
I have a house.
Get off my lawn, I'd say to you.
My daddy-in-law
bought it for me. You and I share a house,
first of all. What?
We share an apartment together.
Excuse? Excuse you.
It makes you a homeowner
because somebody buys you something?
Yeah.
If I bought you a guitar,
guess what, bud?
You're a guitar owner.
If I shake your hand,
you're a handshake owner.
And if your wife's daddy
buys you a home,
you're a homeowner.
I just think my problem
with the entire thing
is if you bought me a guitar
you might say hey Jake I bought you this guitar
and I wouldn't have any say in the guitar
and then if this guy buys a house
you're like
you're in his debt
you don't get to have your own house
no that's all in your brain
oh you feel emasculated
you just want handouts
I want the cash, I want the house
He didn't offer you cash
You needy asshole
You can sell the house
Oh my god, thank you so much for the house
And then when his back is turned, you put it on the market
Like he won't notice
When his back is turned for half a second
And then you don't live in the house that he bought
Oh, that's weird
Anyway, I have 850,000 quid now.
So thanks for the house, idiot.
Sorry.
Are you saying you wouldn't
accept a house?
You would say no.
I think there's something nice about earning your own house.
Sure, that's fine, but if you can't...
Well, who's to say he can't?
Well, otherwise he'd be owning a home himself.
No, maybe he's working towards it.
Maybe he's got a good job.
Sure, sure, you keep doing that little job thing.
Just to be clear, you're asking for my opinion
and then shutting me down.
I just think you're incorrect, but continue.
Do you want me to continue?
I'd love to hear more.
Every time I start talking, you do the voice
where you ask for cash.
I like cash. I like cash.
I like having money and homes.
If you could choose,
if you could create a perfect girl in your brain,
and you have a checklist, a questionnaire,
50 questions, blonde, brunette, redhead,
tall, short, thick, thin, whatever.
And one of the things was, welcome back, sir.
One of the things was poor, average, rich.
What would you choose?
I don't think I would choose that category at all.
You'd have to choose one.
What would you choose? Poor, average, or rich?
Yeah.
Average.
Average?
I guess.
You'd rather have less money than more?
Your money's not my money.
No, it'll be your money.
Because if you guys get married...
No, it wouldn't.
Yeah, it is.
That's how marriage works.
You share a bank account.
All right, fine.
I don't...
Fuck me, man.
I don't...
I wouldn't care if she was...
If she was rich,
then we would be coming
from, like, different backgrounds
and we might not be able
to see eye to eye on things,
like, in terms of money.
No, having cash is good.
Does anyone agree with me?
You guys wouldn't?
Everybody just yelled
and I don't know
if anyone said yes or no,
but I'm just saying there's all yeses.
Does anyone agree with me?
No.
You would say no to a house?
I would say no to a house.
You would say thanks, but no thanks.
I would say thank you so much for your support.
I think it's lovely, but I would like to earn my own house.
I think I'll feel better waking up in a house that I bought myself.
Pussy.
Pussy.
I would like to know what makes me a pussy because I want to earn
money.
Because you're not accepting money.
You're basically saying, I'd rather...
He has a checkbook with a million dollars.
He's like, you little pussy.
Accept this money.
Then you owe them shit.
No, you don't.
Yes, you do.
Parents buy their kids shit.
You don't owe your parents things.
No, my parents don't buy me anything all the time.
Oh, my God.
Did you go to private high school?
I went to private high school
because my mother was a teacher there
and I went for free.
Okay.
So how dare you?
Did your parents pay for your college?
I didn't go to college, boss.
You went to four colleges.
Boss. And I didn't... And no, boss. You went to four colleges. Boss.
And no, they did not pay for it.
They didn't pay for college.
I paid my father back.
With a good old-fashioned good time
and a steak dinner.
Parents buy their kids things.
They would buy your lady...
They want to buy her daughter a wife.
A house isn't a thing, it's a house
A house isn't a thing
Good night everybody
Let's end on that
No, a house is a thing actually
You're a pussy
This is a thing
You know what?
You're a pussy
This is a thing
You're going to wake up in your wife's house
In your wife's bed
A house is a thing
Do you know what a noun is?
You're a big coward
You can't make money Blue is not a thing You can't make money A house is a thing. Do you know what a noun is? You're a big coward.
You can't make money. Blue is not a thing.
You can't make money.
A house is a thing.
Oh my God!
He's hitting me!
He's not!
No, it's not a thing!
Throw it back!
Now it's gone!
You know why you can throw it back?
Because it's a thing!
Thank God I caught that shoe.
Imagine it's like,
you know why you can't throw it back?
Because it's a thing.
I really wish I hit you in the face.
That's what you deserve.
Here's something you can't throw.
A house.
So I guess another thing we disagree on. You say
cash isn't good.
Which? I think
earning cash is good. What? I think earning
cash is nice. That sounds great.
Your wife's
daddy earned that cash.
That doesn't count. That's money.
That's his money. And what if they take you on vacation
and you're also saying, thanks but no thanks.
I want to earn my own Hawaiian vacation.
That's an experience, and I think that's nice
for them to have their kids on their vacation.
That sounds like a nice experience. So you'll go on a vacation,
but you won't accept a house. I wouldn't accept
a house. What about a deposit?
What about?
Deposit's fine. That accountant brings up
a good point.
Now, if he just pays for the down
payment and you pay off the mortgage,
you deposit the money in my
account, I can have whatever house I want.
Say a million dollars. They put down
$250,000. You pay the rest off
over 30 years with a fixed APR of what?
What's interest rates nowadays?
4.25? 4.3%?
It's interesting because your mother's trying to buy
you a house and you won't
take it. Next question.
Thank you.
The difference is
that's my mom.
I don't take shit from girls.
I take it from someone else's mom.
I want her to keep her money
and I date a girl that has a rich daddy.
I get it.
That was good.
Jake's virginity!
Jake!
It is time for a break.
Richard,
Jake refuses to
tell his virginity story on
tape because it's, I guess, borderline illegal.
And that's probably the smart thing to do.
But he says during live shows,
we cut to a little message from our sponsor,
who we love so much.
And Jake will tell...
Me undies, right?
Yeah, hopefully me undies.
And then we cut to commercial,
and Jake tells his virginity story just to you guys
if you promise not to tell anyone.
Woo! to commercial and Jake tells us a virginity story just to you guys if you promise not to tell anyone.
So if you're listening at home, we'll be right back.
Quick note to let
y'all know that we're conducting an
audience survey at gum.fm
slash segments.
And we want to hear from you guys to keep making content you love.
It's a survey that lets us know what you think about the ad experience.
But in order to do that, we need to know a little bit more about you, our audience.
The survey is quick, easy, and free to support segments.
It'll take two minutes and you'll be helping us a lot by taking
it. It's at gum.fm slash segments to fill out the audience survey. That's right. So if you've been
talking about the ads somewhere else online, now is your chance to make your voice heard, folks.
Take this survey and we will read the results. It's gum.fm slash s-eM slash S-E-G-M-E-N-T-S.
Cool.
Sorry, I have to spell it out for some people.
Yeah, you do.
Thank you to Squarespace
for sponsoring this episode of our show.
Hell yeah.
Jake, you've been building on Squarespace
for decades at this point.
Exactly.
Eons, it feels like.
Yes.
So you know how easy it is
to use their simple, intuitive,
drag and drop design technology?
Yes, yes, yes.
Easy to create, easy to sell, easy to promote.
Squarespace is my all-in-one, first stop, one-stop shop.
Yeah.
It's kind of funny that they have also award-winning customer support because it's so intuitive
that even Jake was able to figure it out.
But if you have any questions, they can figure it out for you as well. Exactly. And I did need a lot of help. I needed a lot of help. It's
easy for everybody, but I still like to have my hand held. They even have AI at this point. You
can update written content, product description, or email with Squarespace AI. You can even buy a
domain name through Squarespace. Exactly. Like, you know that movie Freaky Friday? Yeah. How'd
you like to own FreakyFriday.com? That'd be great. Is that available? It's not available. Yeah. But how'd
you like to own Freaky Tuesday? Interesting. Freaky Tuesday. So that's when like you run into
each other and some parts of your personality change, but ultimately it's not a full body swap.
Right. Mostly you're just concussed. Yeah. Which is new. It's kind of like having a new personality.
Yeah.
It's funny. I consider myself a vision lifter, which is why I recommend somebody buying visionlifters.com.
Oh, vision lifters?
Yeah, vision lifters with a Z.
And not where you think.
And it's not biz with a Z.
So if you're looking to buy a domain name for yourself or for a loved one, build a store, an online portfolio,
the greatest way to do that is to head to
squarespace.com for a free trial.
And when you're ready to launch,
just use that coupon code SEGMENTS
to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.
Hell yeah.
So again, you go to squarespace.com slash segments.
Segments.
You save 10% off your first purchase and then use the coupon code segments when you're ready
to launch that free trial.
Enjoy.
Thank you, Squarespace.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Guys, guys, guys, guys.
Enough.
I shared something with you.
It was very courageous.
All right.
It was courageous
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Let's
I trusted you
Let's get to one last question
We're almost out of time but we like you guys
We want to squeeze as much out of you as possible
You guys having fun?
We need
One last Mail Mail question guys having fun? We need one last male
question.
Oh, no, no, no. Sorry, sorry.
It's a female. It's a female. It's a female.
It's a female.
Yeah.
Would you say Whitney
Quidditch?
Gwyneth? No, no, no.
I feel like we use their names almost every time
because they're the closest.
Okay, so just...
Top row.
Top row only.
Wait, last row.
If your back's against the wall, I want to hear.
What?
Poppy.
Poppy.
Poppy's nice.
Poppy.
I like Poppy.
Sexy pot Poppy.
Sexy pot Poppy.
Chicken pot pee.
All right. Poppy writes, pot poppy. Chicken pot pee. Uh, alright.
Poppy writes,
Hey guys, I'm in high school
and I'm dating this guy for about a year
and we text like every day.
I used to not have a problem with this,
but now it's summer and I like to do
more shit outside. How do I get him
off my back without sounding mean
or like I'm trying to avoid him?
Thanks, Poppy.
Yeah, that's fair.
She doesn't want to text so much.
But I feel like that resonates
because you get into this rhythm
where it's just like, uh-oh,
and now I'm in a relationship
where there's a constant state of conversation
constantly open.
That's why being in a relationship is so weird.
You just have to share every weird
little mundane detail of your
life. Yeah, on a rolling case.
Hey baby, I had a sandwich. Yeah.
How was it?
It was nice. And then you also have
like you want to keep it interesting a little bit.
So you can't just be like, it was good. You gotta be like, it was
good. There was a little too much
mustard.
Winky face. Yeah, emoji.
Some type of weird inside joke.
The problem is when you first start seeing
someone, you love the texts.
You want it to keep going. It's cocaine.
Yeah, so just more and more and more.
And then once you have that...
You guys just booed because I said cocaine?
Yeah. Alright.
I don't want to go to Scotland, man.
It's scary. It's a place where it's all them
And once you get
Once you get that rate of conversation going
You feel bad slowing it down
I don't know
You don't feel bad reining it in
Responding less and less
It's a slight
And it's not a slight
I have a suggestion
Two things It's a slight. And it's not a slight. I have a suggestion. Okay.
Two things.
Sure.
One, this is what I want to do with my next girlfriend.
God willing. Who might be here right now.
Yeah.
Anal.
Anal.
That's correct.
Anal will shut her up.
No.
How dare you?
Yeah.
It won't.
It'll just make her louder.
Or it might be a positive experience for everybody.
Never mind. She's not in the room anymore.
One.
Text very infrequently from the get-go.
From the start, you rarely text.
You infrequently text. It makes the actual
meeting, like, conversation.
You think that now, but you're not in love.
You don't know what it is.
As soon as you're enamored with someone,
she'll break all the rules that you've set
before you met her.
That's true, which is why I'm on to idea number two.
Well, your first idea was bad,
so we're going to go with number two.
We'll call this 1A,
which is what I'm going to plan to do after I fail at one.
You say,
it's so much more fun when I see you and we can catch up on more
than four minutes of day. Because when you're in a constant stream of dialogue, you're talking
throughout the entire day and then you see the person and you already know everything. And it's
not as fun. So you say, I cherish being with you. And it's so much more exciting when I haven't
spoken to you all day. It's so exciting. We get to have this real meaningful conversation. And
then you can do that thing where it's like, I fucking
hate the internet. It's online. It's ruining my life.
Every time you take a picture, it's like you're not really experiencing
anything. It's not entirely true, but you can
say it. And then she'll be like, oh,
that's actually nice. It's a nice thought to want to
share these interpersonal moments in person
rather than on a
constant state over text message.
Thoughts on that?
Gay!
Gay!
To be fair,
that was his name suggestion.
He was just really late.
No, no,
he has a point. That's pretty gay.
What? The way you described your relationship with your girlfriend,
the opposite sex, yeah, it was gay. Taking that heckler... Honestly, dude, the described your relationship with your girlfriend, the opposite sex, yeah, it was gay.
Taking that heckler...
Honestly, dude, the things you do with your girlfriend
are pretty gay.
Everything besides the fucking,
which is very heterosexual, is gay.
So, for example, having lunch with a girlfriend?
Gay.
Taking her to a movie date?
Homo, dude.
Blowing a male prostitute?
That's fine.
What do you think of my idea of turning it into a positive?
Spinning it into a positive?
Pretty gay, but I think I can save it.
I think you just sort of
peel back entirely.
No, I don't think that works.
It does. You retreat.
Because then she's like, oh, are you mad at me? This is fucking insane. You're asking me a question and you won't think that works. It does. You retreat. Are you mad at me?
This is fucking insane. You're asking me a question
and you won't let me answer.
It's batshit crazy.
Did I interrupt you?
No.
I really interrupt you all the time.
I'm sorry for putting you on the blast.
You gotta pee again?
Or are you just standing up to hurt us?
It's time to beat us up.
The last two minutes of the show
is just you getting your face pounded in.
We're very close to the end.
We're really close.
Do you need to pee?
You can go.
Yvonne, yeah, I think you should go.
No. Unrelated to the pee-pee go. I think you should go.
Unrelated to the pee pee.
Two more seconds of advice and then you're going to go pee and we'll end the show.
Just wait by the door
because I don't want there to be a crowd.
If you have to pee, you have to be ready to jet.
At least stand by the door.
Comedy before piss.
Comedy before piss.
You're entirely right.
I'll make my advice really quick.
You peel back, you just text a little bit,
a little bit, a little bit,
and then the person's going to be like,
hey, what's the matter?
You don't text me as much.
You're being crazy.
You're being neurotic.
I'm in love with you.
We're doing fine.
And then slowly but surely,
they'll match you.
People are energy matchers by nature.
He'll match you. He'll start textingers by nature. He'll match you.
He'll start texting less and less.
And then everything's going to be okay.
I think...
Is that us?
That's it?
That is it.
I would like to say thank you to you, Amir.
Oh, and I would like to say thank you to you, Jake.
I didn't know we thanked each other at the end of the episode.
I think you did a great job.
I think your advice was really on point.
I want you to go pee, sir.
I want you to pee so bad.
I think I need you to pee more than you need to pee.
Ta-da, indeed.
The strong man wants me to cuddle him,
so now we're definitely going to leave the stage.
Thank you, guys.
Manchester, you've been amazing.
Thank you so much.
When the Dan Patrick show ends,

Woo-hoo!
Every day they react to the day's events.
McLovin,
do you feel any cooler
after doing all that?
And plan for Brock's death.
Just come into my house, grab my computer, and go throw it off the end of a pier.
That's all I ask.
What have I done?
Go to podcastone.com slash boxscore to hear every show.
With the $5 meal deal at McDonald's, you pick a McDouble or a McChicken,
then get a small fry, a small drink, and a four-piece McNuggets.
That's a lot of McDonald's for not a lot of money.
