Let's chill.
Let's chill.
You're fine with pussy hound?
Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah, as long as you're not a pussy.
That's, yeah.
Yeah.
Because I am a hound.
Ow, ow, ow.
You're a dog.
Sure am.
You really are a dog.
I am a lonely little dog.
What?
Ow, ow, ow. That's you saying ow little dog. What? Ow, ow, ow.
That's you saying ow, because your heart hurts.
Ow, ow, ow.
I'm alone.
Yeah, you're howling at the moon by yourself.
Howling at the moon by yourself.
You know how that should go.
This guy was Marcus Engman from Sweden.
Ooh, American rap from Sweden. Yeah, he's new to the whole music making thing but he'll give it a try sounds like he's pretty good at it
yeah that's your you little asshole if that's your first try yeah not bad right just this jazzy
bassy cool little ditty slam dunks yeah I haven't tried basketball before, but it seems pretty chill. Man, I wonder how many people in America can dunk but have never dunked.
What a waste.
It's true.
What a waste that would be.
It's true.
Do you think it's a million?
It doesn't really matter.
I guess we'll never know.
Yeah.
What is this show?
It's an advice podcast, If I Were Your Show.
And people will email us to ifIwereyourshow at gmail.com.
They're in sticky situations. They're in need of our advice.
And Jake is a pussy hound and Amir is smart.
True.
Do you think that, what do you think is more true?
Me as a pussy hound or you as smart?
What do you mean?
In this song, it says Jake is a pussy hound or you as smart what do you mean that's like it like in this song
it says jake is a pussy hound and amir is smart right but if you were to flip those which one do
you think is more accurate are you more smart than i am a pussy hound do you think i'm a pussy hound
i guess is the question i well i also think i'm smart right i'm a genius so the question i'm a borderline genius dude which one's
more uh it's me uh i think i don't think you're you're very much of a pussy hound at all oh you
think i'm just like a casual hound i'm a pussy casual yeah like i'll take it if i can get it
but i'm not hounding it out right it's very rare that I've seen you hound for it.
Like, is hounding necessarily, like, a negative thing?
Like, you're obsessed with it and not in a good way?
How can you be obsessed with it in a good way?
I'm obsessed with pussy in a very healthy, normal way.
Yeah.
You can be that.
Like, you can be, like, more active socially, trying to go on more dates, trying to get more numbers.
Right.
Yeah, I guess that's a nice way of looking at it but i think anytime you're a pussyhound it's a pretty
negative connotation it's like all you care about is pussy right and the city that you're from yeah
yeah so and i am gonna drink until i feel it i am gonna smoke until it's done you know what i've
been trying to do it's it's hard to quite describe it i'll see if i can do it
you know that line in back to back where drake says uh back to back like i'm on the cover of
lethal weapon yeah back to back like i'm jordan 96 97 he that rhyme is is sort of wedged in there
in a very like hard to pronounce way like i made it seem very casual right now but i practiced it a lot so can you say those two lines and see how difficult it is or maybe it's not difficult for you
back to back like i'm on the cover of lethal weapon back to back like i'm michael jordan 96 97
right it's that jordan 96 97 thing where he like tries to cram it in he says like i'm jordan9697 so he doesn't say
jordan in 96 and 97 he says jordan9697 yeah it's almost like jordan96 is like one word
like i'm jordan9697 now on the cover of lethal weapon like i'm jordan9697 yeah but that's one
of the that's one of the subtle things about rap that you don't really think about.
Right, the cadence that he rhymes with.
Like it has to be the same amount of syllables.
Or I guess whoever wrote that for Drake
because I don't know if y'all heard.
I don't know if y'all heard.
You're going to take Meek Mill's side?
You can't like back-to-back.
I think I do.
I think whoever wrote back-to-back was fucking great.
I don't think it was Drake.
I really don't think.
How can you know?
What if Drake hears this podcast and he does a diss track at you?
Oh my God, amazing.
Also, when do you do a diss track?
That's giving someone respect.
It's almost like he shouldn't have done it.
Well, that's why he said, I'm probably going to regret this later.
Right, but then he admits that it was weighing on his conscience right so it's almost like giving
someone a diss track is actually giving them props the real diss track is no track at all
and if you go back to back two diss tracks that's like that's that's a huge get for back mill
i guess so also what was the first diss track? Charged Up. Oh. Charged Up was, I mean, Charged Up wasn't that great.
Back to Back is like a song that they'll play.
Yeah, they played it on the radio.
They actually did play it back to back.
It's such a smart marketing thing, because it has a built-in thing where people want
to play it twice in a row, because that's what it's about.
Yeah.
They asked me if I'll play the shit back to back.
It's about, Back to Back is that he released two diss tracks back's about. Yeah. They asked me if I'll play the shit back-to-back. It's about... The back-to-back is that he released two diss tracks back-to-back.
Right, but then they asked...
On the song, he says they're going to play it back-to-back.
And then some radio stations do play it back-to-back.
It's really, really great.
I think I'm part of the OVO crew for sure.
I would love so much for Drake to write a diss track.
It would be called...
I mean, it all stemmed from Drake didn't tweet Meek Mill's album.
Or Drake didn't help promote Meek Mill's album.
So Drake doing this is like clearly...
It's promoting Meek Mill to...
Right.
Exponentially.
Why would he tweet about...
Is that what other...
Or was Meek Mill part of Drake's posse?
I don't think...
Well, Drake was on Meek Mill's album.
And I think they're part of the same posse because...
Fuck, now I don't know.
But Drake funded Meek Mill's first album or something.
Or no, maybe he donated $75,000 to a production studio
being built in Meek Mill's old high school or some shit like that.
It sounds like you're making stuff up, but it sounds so specific.
Like, did you actually know that or you just guessed it?
No, I read like a Complex article about like what the...
In Complex magazine or it was just a Complex article?
No, it was really hard to understand.
It was a national geographic.
It was unupworthy.
I read an article about like where the beef stemmed from.
Yeah.
And it was because Drake didn't promote Meek Mill's album.
There should be a blog or an article series called Where's the Beef?
And then it explains where the beef comes from.
But the phrase where the beef is actually a kind of funny little marketing slang,
a slogan from the early 1980s.
Right.
Right.
So the column is called, Where's the Beef?
Look, we all got it immediately.
And you're over-explaining now.
But the articles are not about...
Lumenfeld, it was a great idea.
We're gonna do it.
Oh my God, really?
Leave the room.
Quickly.
We already bought it.
Are you looking it up?
Sorry.
No, it's actually shame lost getting back
to the house but that's gonna happen are you gonna look i can look it up what do you want me to look
up what the beef is about uh i guess we've already discussed it maybe for the next episode we can do
some research and get back to you guys that's fair uh all right let's get to some questions
these are people who are in need of our help. Real emails from real people.
Let's give them some fake names to preserve their anonymity.
Anonymity, got a lot of minity.
Din-a-nin-a-mini-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di.
How about a female name?
Nicki Minaj.
Oh, that's good.
Hey, guys.
I'm an 18-year-old lady, and I have a situation.
Recently on a chat forum called Tagged, similar for Tinder, but I'm using it for friendship as I'm engaged, but on a break.
Oh.
I got to a normal-seeming guy.
I've been craving Chinese food, and naturally I was complaining about it.
But to my surprise, this guy offered to buy me Chinese
takeaway. Obviously, I begrudgingly rejected, but he didn't let it lie, and 20 minutes later,
he had my email and was PayPal-ing me 10 British pounds. It's what happened in those 20 minutes
which is the problem. I sent nudes for 10 British pounds. Am I a prostitute now? Should I try and
sell more photos to this guy also he
lives in the city not too far away and suggested i come over do you think he's planning on paying
me should i go anyway toda p.s i'll attach the conversation uh that led to you that led to it
so you can understand better oh yeah christ. Is it prostitution to send someone nude photos of yourself for 15 US American dollars?
It's not prostitute.
Clearly, it's not prostitution.
Because there's no sex involved.
It's not good behavior.
I wouldn't reward that type of behavior from a man.
But is it worse behavior?
Motherfuckers never loved us.
That's the problem.
Remember?
What happened here?
This guy wanted to treat this girl well.
Right.
You should never feel like you owe somebody something
if they're being if they're
like doing some kind of creepy thing and giving you a gift i've heard so many girls be like oh
well he like took me out to dinner and he like got me drinks so we like kissed him at the end
of the night so we like had to make out right that's not true nobody like nobody's asking
for anything in return or at least they shouldn't be if he's like giving you money and saying like
well what are you gonna do for me you gotta be like i don't want your money it's 10 fucking pounds is that a
lot of money it's 15 bucks that's but here's not worth your naked pictures being on his phone
forever i read this conversation and it seems like he wanted to buy her chinese food she felt
uncomfortable because then it's like oh i have to give you my address and then she brought up the
fact that he could paypal her as like a joke but a kind of a joke that's not a joke.
That's not a funny joke, lady.
You don't have to do that.
I don't think that's very funny.
Like, you clearly wanted the money.
Then she gave him her email, and he did do it.
And then he said, do I get a reward?
And she said, you got my number and time of day.
What else do you want more?
And he said, plenty more.
Everything you can imagine and then she says hmm am i gonna end up essentially whoring myself for spring rolls
and he said you could it's getting late when does your chinese restaurant close and she says hmm i
could be a very lovely person and let you see my new piercings so maybe they were booby piercings so now i want to see them i'll i'll venmo you
a thousand dollars let me see your tatas uh so it didn't seem like that it seemed like this guy
already paypaled her and then was like you know what do i get in return not like if you do this
i'll give you this but either way it's not prostitution not prostitute but it's porn he led you into a trap i don't know because she's the one who's saying can i have money it's not
like he's like can i send you money for pictures right it's a it's a gray area to be sure i will
say uh she is a prostitute uh that's completely unrelated to this. That was just her profession. She said, P.S. I'm a prostitute. Oh. Yeah.
Prozzie.
I would say this is fine.
It's not fine.
Is it not fine?
I don't think that people should be sending nude pics to strangers they meet on Tinder anyway.
What if...
Oh, whoa.
Isn't this a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black?
I do not send nude photos.
But you've gotten nude photos before.
Never have I ever solicited nude photos.
What?
They come to me on their own, and I wouldn't say, hey, don't send me stuff like that.
So when girls send you nude photos, it was just out of the blue.
It was just at the beginning of a conversation.
I've never ever in my life asked for a nude photo.
Not once ever.
So if I look at your phone to see old nude photos and I read the messages before them,
it's never ever you egging them on, even in a polite, slight fashion.
I'll respond with positivity.
Like, this is making me so whatever.
Yeah. I've never said, send me a photo of you naked but have you implied or requested it not in a specific explicit way i mean you've
gotten nude i've not done it and i've not gotten nude photos so i can't imagine that just you're
we don't go after the same types of people pussyound. I'm trying to think really hard and like,
like, think of, okay, four years ago, you receive a nude picture. Does this sound about right? I
don't even know who I'm talking about. But just think about 2012. Sure. And then what happened
before then? It was like, hey, can I send you a nude photo? No, it would be like, it always slowly gears up that,
like they're sending pictures of their face
or like they're about to go out
and they look really attractive.
And I'll be like, that, you know, that's really great.
Yeah, I love that.
You look so good.
And then it's like, send me another picture.
You say that.
Or like, send me more or like, say that. Or like, send me more. Or like, don't stop sending these.
Something like that.
And then I think that's usually like a green light to start removing clothing.
And then it just happens.
I've never ever said, this picture is awesome.
Can I see one where you're naked?
I don't think you said it that unsmoothly.
But I think that you at least hinted at like, oh, can I see a little more or a little less winky face or some shit like that?
I don't think I have.
I don't think you've ever done it with a random girl like this, like a random girl you've never met before.
Usually it's ladies that you have seen naked before, correct?
Correct.
So it's never...
Correctamundo!
That's what you text uh so this guy is sort of
going one step beyond that kind of like a little uh a little but this is entrapment he already gave
her the money and now he's saying you claim entrapment a lot on this show and now he's saying
now i want the reward he would before he was doing it out of the goodness of his heart, then once she's got the funds in her account, he says, what do I get?
What's my reward?
Like, whoa, I wouldn't donate money to a soup kitchen and then be like, and now what do I get in return?
A homeless guy shows you his dick.
So I don't think that he should have ever gotten the photos.
That's beyond the point.
You are not a prostitute. She shouldn't send send it was one of the options send him more uh is he oh oh uh he doesn't
think you're a prostitute he's not like this isn't his move now where he's just going to keep on
giving you money for nude photos and for sex like that's not what's happening what happened was this
is happening a lot on tinder have you seen all these articles about guys ordering girls pizza on Tinder?
Oh, I have seen that.
It's like a thing that is happening.
Girls are just sort of taking advantage of dudes' horniness.
Yeah, they're like, oh, will you order me a pizza?
Like, oh my God, yeah, I can't believe I'm doing this.
What's your address?
That's happening.
So that's what this dude was he he was flirting with you he was like if i buy her chinese food that's a way to like get her to meet
up with me he doesn't think that he didn't find out that you take money for sexual favors and now
he's gonna have you over his apartment and pay you a thousand dollars for one night or something
well what if these okay so it's not prostitution what if you over his apartment and pay you $1,000 for one night or something. Well, what if these...
Okay, so it's not prostitution.
What if somebody sends you money and then you send them photos not of your boobs?
Is that bad?
Well, I think it's bad in the first place to take money from this guy.
That's pretty rude.
Oh, so you're in the wrong situation.
The lady's in the wrong, too.
Yeah, she shouldn't have asked him for money.
That's a little fucked up.
So in the pie chart of the blame, how big is her slice?
It's 50-50.
50-50.
I think she should have not asked him for cash.
And I think he shouldn't have sent the cash,
but once he did send the cash,
he shouldn't have expected nudes in return
and then when he got the nudes
then
well then everyone's in the wrong
but now it can stop
you don't take any more of his money
you guys are at least even
and don't send him any more nudes
but would you say what happened in a vacuum is wrong
if nothing else happens after this
I think what happened is fine she got food he got boobs yeah and elicit exchange of of uh of money and goods do you think
it's illegal what he did no because he didn't say i am giving you this money for these nudes right
which also that might not even be illegal i don't know i don't understand how law works yeah but he all it's sort of like a an unspoken rule barter thing like i'm gifting you
this ten dollars and you are gifting me these nude photos and they're not related in any way
right clearly they are i mean it's i don't think this is good. I don't... There's no world where, like,
if everyone's doing this, that's a good thing.
Right.
But if they're doing it, I would...
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, in the grand scheme of the universe, you're fine.
Yeah, it's not like you killed an elephant.
But don't do it anymore.
Yeah.
You didn't murder a lion or anything like that.
Hey, too soon, dude.
Oh, come on, dude.
Mufasa just died in that just died you know i'm team dentist
i'm team meek mill team dentist that killed the lion i'll say it jesus i don't care you're gonna
get lambasted on social media i really am i'm gonna lose in the court of public opinion
uh all right let's read another question
this one's from a dude drake writes he's been to the podcast before i think yeah uh hey guys
big fan of the show congrats on the podcast network that's actually a good point we did
launch a podcast network called head gum yeah listen to, listen to our podcast. Go to HeadGum.com. Oh, no.
HeadGum.com for a bunch of new shows and episodes rolling out on a daily basis.
HeadGum.com.
Let's get back to the question.
My girlfriend and I broke up a month ago after two years of being together.
It was mutual, but I was the one who did the breaking up.
And now I'm
hanging out with a few different girls trying to get back out there again because I've been
doing the dating game for two years. I'm not sure how casual I can keep things.
Mainly, my question is, if I'm seeing and hanging out with multiple girls, am I expected to give
full disclosure on being casual? Or can I just sell it like they're the only person i'm hooking up with
i don't want to lie but if i'm not in anything serious with a girl and we haven't defined what
we are is it all right to just fool around best regards drake that is probably that's this is a
problem that drake actually has yeah i bet like when he takes a girl out for, like, a date.
I think he says in one of his lyrics is,
I made every woman feel like she was mine and no one else's.
Oh, wow.
So at the very least, he's making her feel like she's the only one.
Is there a need to be fully disclosed?
Like, by the way, I'm seeing somebody else this week. I don't think there's a need to be fully disclosed? Like, by the way, I'm seeing somebody else this week.
I don't think there's a need to be fully disclosed like that.
Like, by the way, like full disclosure,
I am seeing several other people.
I've slept with one.
Like, yeah, you don't, like,
full disclosure is a little too much disclosure.
But how about we go medium disclosure,
so you're not lying.
You don't want to ever be a liar.
This is the white lie.
Yeah.
So you say, oh, I'm not seeing or not seeing anybody.
Let's just not even talk about it.
Well, you just avoid saying, you're the only one I'm seeing.
That's an easy thing.
Right.
You just don't tell somebody that they're the only one.
And then if they say, are you seeing anybody else you say um i just i
just don't know how to answer my own question you just stumped yourself you're lying to yourself
wait let's see if you can lie to yourself keep this conversation going god i've been in this
situation are you seeing anybody else like oh my god that's so like you just say no every time you do you just say no i've never
i don't think i've ever ever gotten that question one time one time my whole life somebody was like
am i the only person you're sleeping with no twice am i the only person you're sleeping actually
three fuck everyone uh but you don't you don't you're not a repeat customer that's why you cut people off after one
yeah you're a one and done one and done didn't i ask you this once of the what percentage of
girls that you've slept with have you slept with only once oh yeah and would you say it's over 50
probably over half of them baller dude yeah dude that's how her words do i love that yeah dude
you go to a fucking ice cream place And you say can I sample
Can I sample
You're the wooden spoon bro
And what happens with the spoon at the end of the night
It gets discarded
It's like in an old paper cup of toothpicks
With other dirty spoons
And there's a handwritten note that said
Used spoons deposit here
And then you're like can I actually use my spoon again
And I never get my full fill of ice cream.
I'm even, no, sometimes I do get sick ice cream
and I just want a little salad and I just want to,
no, no, it's fine.
I'm not alone.
I'm not lonely because I'm with so many people.
How can I be lonely
if it's a different person every night?
She's just the flavor of the week.
You're a foam cone.
A wafer cone.
The kind that doesn't taste like anything.
I'm a wafer man.
A thin little wafer cone man.
Where were we?
Oh, right.
Do you have to disclose? I think if she asks you point blank do you have to talk do you have to disclose i think if she
asks you point blank you have to say yes yeah you can't that that's when the white lie becomes a
black lie that's a discrete distinct by the way i'm staring at you you asked me a question are
you seeing other people no that's the lie yeah you can't say that. So she says, are you seeing other people? And you say, this is a good, so you don't have to say yes or no.
You say, this is a great conversation that we have to have.
That's totally a great point.
That's correct.
And then you say, excuse me one moment, dear.
What happens now?
I've got to use the restroom.
Okay.
And then you go to the bathroom
you lock the door oh you lock yourself in your head very hard against the toilet
oh like you get down on your knees like you slipped in the bathroom oh uh-oh now she has
to take you to the hospital and i don't think this whole are we exclusive thing is going to come up again anytime soon so dodged a bullet there
dodged a bullet but head first straight into straight into a porcelain bowl uh or you can
turn it into a joke are we seeing any people i don't know if i'm seeing people but i'm seeing
popel how about pope benedict what would potpourri oh Oh, potpourri. Oh, yeah. A potpourri of people.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I am a wafer man.
Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry.
Every flavor on a flavorless man.
Call me.
A lot of people have a Napoleon complex.
I have a Neapolitan complex.
Yeah, I'm going three for three.
Which one are you?
Mint chocolate chip, cookie dough.
He ain't even cookie dough. I'm basically three for three. Which one are you? Mint chocolate chip, cookie dough. He ain't even cookie dough.
I'm basically a cup.
I am a cup man.
I am a small single cup, single cone, single scoop.
I am the little ketchup packet of frozen yogurt thing.
What is the little paper sandal cup?
Yeah. What is it? tiny little paper ramekin yeah a little paper
ramekin how do you know the name ramekin ramekin i know is like a small little cup but i don't know
if that like what they put like mayo and ketchup in actually on twinnovation i was listening to
their episode today and wait is episode three no two the carnell talks about greasing the guy who
works at a frozen yogurt
place for like a stack of paper ramekins so that you can just he's like dude you make ten dollars
an hour give me give me a stack of them for five dollars who's saying no to that
one of his schemes is just free fro yo this episode was so funny because one of his
carnell's scheme carnell's like get rich
quick scheme was just like how to fly drugs across the country did you get to that part yeah not
really a scheme not really just uh just uh just uh you know drug trafficking which in theory is
a scheme i guess people do make a shitload of money doing it uh all right so yeah so yeah you
say i think you just maybe you can come out ahead of this conversation before the like are we seeing
other people just like hey i really like uh spending time with you by the way like i just
got out of a kind of serious relationship and i'm really just having fun and i'm doing my own thing
right now i think you don't have to have that conversation until pretty late.
Like, usually it doesn't come up in my experience, like, within, like, the first, like, three or four dates.
And if you're, like, dating people on Tinder, I feel like you're not the only, like, they don't, nobody on Tinder just is getting, like, one date and sticking with it.
Or at least not a lot of people are doing that.
What do you mean sticking with it?
I mean, like, when you're on Tinder, you're constantly swiping and meeting up with people when you're like dating in general you're meeting up
with lots of different people i don't think anybody's doing like okay i have this one i'm
like totally single i'm dating but i'm only dating one person at a time you date a bunch of people
and then when somebody's like really great then you slowly face they distance themselves out from the pack uh but
yeah i think i think it's okay that you're one thing to always remember is wait we got to go to
break uh we will come back no let's hear it uh i think it always helps to encourage the other
the person who you're dating to do the same thing like oh yeah i mean like i'm dating i'm
having fun with dating right now i hope you are too you should be doing the same exact thing but
saying that before anything comes up seems like you're just like oh yeah i'm saying not if you
get quote unquote called out yeah if you get cornered yeah but i think in general just don't
tell anybody you're they're the only person there's no need to lie to them and say, I'm just dating you, and you're just dating me, and then you're dating other people.
That's silly.
Right.
So, I guess you don't have to say it before it comes up, but if it comes up, don't lie about it.
It's a general rule.
Yeah.
What do you think, general rule?
I agree!
We have a new character on the show called general rule he's sort of an old southern
general and uh whenever we come up with general rules he agrees with it yeah i agree yeah generally

Back to back.
I think it's been mentioned before,
but we do have a lot of great episodes on HeadGum this week.
I'm actually on Julia Noons' podcast this week. is correct you are on their podcast um her podcast that is
correct you are on her podcast nice great you're not gonna edit that are you no yeah i'm okay
without that as being the edit but uh maybe we'll put like we did at the end of last episode with
gabrus's i'll put a little a, a taste, a teaser of that episode.
So if you keep listening, you'll hear a sample of it.
You didn't do that when I was on Noons' podcast.
Yeah, well, I did.
Yeah, I did it with us on Gabrus.
Us.
Us, a.k.a. you.
Fuck off.
Sorry.
Us is me, and who else?
Me.
You.
Okay.
So you twice.
Me once.
Are you happy?
You're smiling about this.
Ooh, catching a lie, Bloomin' Tones.
How do you like the haircut you got today?
I like it.
I dig it.
It's really short on the sides.
You got a one on the sides.
I got a one on the sides.
Shortest it's ever been on the sides the side shortest it's ever been on the sides
shortest it's ever been on the sides i think uh you left and you're like i'm gonna go full
full marty we call it which is like a one all the way to the top didn't quite go all the way to the
top i will say i can't believe you're gonna put me on blast it fades up a little bit it fades
well it fades from a one it fades from a one but it doesn't go all the way to the top of your head. What is yours?
Mine is a one at the base where yours is into a three.
Mine is clearly obviously not a three.
A three.
A three-ney.
I'm a three-ney weenie.
But that's the cool haircut to get.
It's short on the sides.
The question is, how short are you willing to go?
And for whatever reason, I'm too afraid to go very short.
I mean, a three is how short are you willing to go and for whatever reason i'm too afraid to go very short i mean a three is very short but like i'm afraid to go like zero is the ultimate i can't do that
uh i said it just goes to show you how far away i am from getting a tattoo i'm unwilling to get
a short haircut for fear of having a short haircut for that long i think the real difference is that
uh the fade to a three makes it look a little longer on the top right you could you could do a one to a two a one to a two or a
one all the way a one all the way yeah but yeah for whatever reason i'm i always get scared to
cut my hair short yeah it's weird because it like it would it grows out in like a week yeah like the
difference between one and a two is literally like four to six days of not cutting it.
It's like nothing, yeah.
And yet I still won't do it.
But maybe with enough prodding from our fans, if you tweet at me, Lord, give me the strength.
Hashtag let's see the one.
Hashtag Amir's number one.
Well, it's really hard because hashtag's already a number sign.
Oh.
Hashtag number one would be like hashtag hashtag one yeah well i guess i could do that was hash tag a word before twitter like was that always a hash
it was like a pound sign it used to be the pound sign but i think it was also always the hash sign
oh oh but not a tag i don't know hashtag i think it's yeah i think it used to be a hash mark hashtag is that's a tagging thing right
right so we had a tag oh interesting so hashtag did twitter invent that word these are questions
we don't know this the drake beef we're just we're waxing we don't we don't understand most things
yeah uh we have a show in toronto in october oh our podcast is sold out but we have another show
that has still tickets available plus you can still get into both of our shows with the festival pass
it's just for last 42 has tickets uh we're doing two shows i think one the podcast is sold out and
then we're doing like a regular straight comedy show whatever that means what excuse me we're doing two shows in toronto i like the podcast because we get to have no
script and drink whiskey right a stand-up show yeah it's a little frightening i'm afraid of
that one we did stand-up comedy shows in montreal and it was fine you did oh my god i didn't have
any fun us is is me and who's the other one?
It's me again.
It's always me.
You know. You did stand up.
So before when it was us, you felt like you weren't a part of it.
Now you feel like you're not involved at all.
Like it's just me.
It was just you.
It was always just me.
One set of footsteps.
Footprints.
Foot.
Fuck.
Let's start this podcast over.
Oh, it's fine.
No, I don't want to.
All right.
Do you have to go anywhere?
Can you answer one more question?
I was going to go to the climbing gym, but yeah, we can answer one more question.
Yes.
You don't want to climb with me today, right?
I'm on the fence.
Well.
I'm climbing on the fence.
Nice.
Can you read this one? Or should I read it? I can read it. I. I'm climbing on the fence. Nice. Can you read this one?
Or should I read it?
I can read it.
I think I forwarded it to you.
It's question number three.
Advise me, PLZ.
You got it, dude.
I just, I could use a break.
Yeah, sure, man.
Permission to squeeze me while uh while you read permission
you want me to grant myself permission to squeeze you i want your permission so that i can squeeze
myself while you read not granted absolutely denied all right you're jerking off go hey guys i've been a long time who wrote this um meek mill
meek writes hey guys i've been a long time fan and i'm emailing you guys because i need some advice
i went to a concert with some friends slipknot in case you were wondering and my friend who drove
us there also drove these two girls sisters hot that he knew but the rest of
us didn't one of the girls and i talked quite a bit she seemed to she seemed to be at least
somewhat interested in me needless to say i was also interested in her just gotta tell you buddy
you use a lot of parentheses sometimes they're not sides sometimes they're just part of the flow
okay so i was considering asking her for her number at the end of the night.
However, after the concert on our way back,
I didn't get to speak to her too much
since she spent most of her time talking to her sister.
The thing is, though,
we both want to do the same thing.
Parentheses, be doctors.
And she may have just heard mostly
about the advice I gave her.
Parentheses, since I'm two years older.
She also mentioned that she gave some guy at the concert her number, parentheses, we were seated in different seats. Although when he
texted her later that night, she expressed regret at giving him her number and didn't want to talk
to him. From talking to her, I found out we have quite a bit in common. I don't know whether I
should ask my friend for her number or something like that, or just forget about it. I'd really
appreciate it.
Any advice you guys have?
P.S. Maybe don't read this on the podcast.
Great way to get it read on the podcast.
Deny.
Thanks for the suggestion.
We will read it.
There's so much funny little things in here. One of my favorite little subtle things, I don't even know why it uh there's so much funny little things in here one of my favorite
little subtle things i don't even know why it tickles me so much is when it says we both want
to do the same thing and then in parentheses be doctors yeah just like a costume to him we just
want to you know do the same thing be a doctor that's yeah that's a huge life commitment i just
want to be that uh and also he's like maybe she didn't like me she just
mostly cared about the advice i gave her but that's that's that's a way of showing interest
in someone yeah that's liking someone yeah is hearing their advice what do you think about
her getting some guy's number during while they were flirting like if you're flirting with a girl
and she gets another guy's number is that a way to flirt with the original guy oh yeah big time
is that what you do uh i don't know if i
would necessarily do that but if a girl was doing that to me i would know what it was about oh so
like if you're flirting with a girl and then she comes back she's like i gave this guy my number
a really great way to like flirt with somebody is to sort of complain about like a date that you
have to go on or somebody that is like that's like that, I don't know. It just really works out because you're like,
oh, this girl is like,
I totally don't want to do anything with her.
She wants me.
I'm wanted, I'm desired.
And I would rather be with you.
That's what you're saying.
You're also saying like, look, I'm so competent enough.
Somebody's already given me a pass.
Like somebody's already into me.
So clearly I'm just normal enough to go on a date.
You should definitely ask your friend for her number. Oh, you think good to go yeah this is gtg for sure and then how
why does he not ask her directly how do you get somebody's number like if you were too late now i
mean now it's too late because they're not in the car anymore oh so he has to ask the friend to ask
the sister to ask the sister well the friend is friends with both
sisters you don't need to go through the extra sister you just say hey what's this girl's number
and then uh just does that guy is that guy obligated to ask the girl or he just gives the
number if i ask you for a girl's number do you ask her or do you just give it to me i would i think i mean in order to get you the best chance
of like a date i would tell her that you asked for the number so you would i mean i don't see
any world where the person is like no don't do that but yeah you see like it's it's more to hype
up the situation like hey good news guess what that guy that you were flirting with in my car
asked for your number can i give it to him she's like oh my god totally and then it's like hey good news guess what that guy that you were flirting with in my car asked for your number can i give it to him she's like oh my god totally and then it's like hey green light you the number
has been given with a blessing that means you feel way more confident texting right you knew
this was coming how's it going right and then you can start off be like hey since we both want to do
the same thing you know be doctors uh and we both love slipknot yeah do you think any doctor
potential future doctors are at a slipknot concert or that's a that's a red flag just to begin a new
career yeah i don't know i guess i mean like if you found out your orthopedic surgeon is super
tired from having gone to a slipknot concert the night before oh yeah i mean i wouldn't want them
doing partying at a slipknot concert like when we have
to while they're doctors yeah but they're still there he's still in school he can hack it yeah
he's 21 she's 19 they're at a slipknot concert seated seats at a slipknot concert does that
seem right to you i'm a little i'm a little mifty all't in the pit. Yeah, you really got a mosh. Let the bodies hit the floor!
Let the bodies hit the floor!
Yeah.
Is that Slipknot?
You went to a poetry reading last night, tried to start a mosh.
What is that?
Are you snapping?
Yeah, that's how you started it.
Slam poetry.
Yeah.
You stood up.
So I tried to slam some people home.
And you started, what is it called when you walk?
Bushwhacking.
You started walking around in a bushwhacking circle nobody dared confront you
they actually somebody asked you to leave and you bushwalked straight out of the the the library
yeah yeah yeah i started like punching myself in the head and headbanging yeah it was it was chill
it was a good reading you were you were in black cargo shorts and a black t-shirt.
And chain wallet with a magic eight ball on it.
A full magic eight ball the size of a grapefruit on the chain.
My key ring has not a magic eight ball key ring.
A magic eight ball and a Rubik's cube.
Because that's how big my pockets are on my black cargo shorts.
All right, so ask for her number.
Do it.
Yeah.
Just do it.
What's the worst that can happen?
She says no, and you feel ashamed, embarrassed, and it just starts to...
Oh, wait, that can happen?
Don't ask for her number.
It's not worth the risk.
I feel shame.
Or shame's ugly cousin.
Embarrassment. Regret. Remorse. Or shame and regrets a hideous redheaded stepchild. Hunger. It's so removed. But you don't want to feel
hunger's abusive grandfather. Tired. Yeah. But tired has an illegitimate stepson green i love this green has sort of like
an evil evil mistress she's 49 yeah deborah not even an adjective and once i felt deborah
i felt deborah so hard that night yeah once, once you go Deborah, you never go back.
