I've always felt like an otaku
I'm not a typical man, I love cartoons
Let's leave America and go
Through the magic land of Tokyo
But I don't know if it's what I should do
I know just who I'll talk to
Take it a mere
Waku waku no
Go go yeah
Waku waku no
Should I move to Japan
Home of Boruto

Go go yeah
Go go yeah

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mori
Tsuburashi Kawai Ho ho ho Onani onani Go to hell. That's what else. Mommy. Super-rushy, go-why.
Oh-nani, oh-nani, oh-why.
Please help me out, YouTube Jews.
I like basic social cues.
Mark me on your show.
If I were you.
Wow.
Holy guacamole.
Holy cow.
That was a theme song about a guy that really loves anime and manga writing to see if he should move to Japan.
I think that was the story of the song, not the actual artist who worked on it, which was this guy Michael and his friend Jace, who are working on a podcast called Musical Myths.
Oh, shit.
But the podcast doesn't exist yet.
Okay.
Did you realize that that was like an anime manga thing?
Yeah.
You did?
I did.
It's cool that somebody finally, finally made us a theme song in one of the styles that I'm super passionate about,
which is manga and anime.
You're not passionate about those things.
No, I haven't mentioned it on the show before.
Yeah.
Just because I keep it a little...
I try to put off this air that I'm a basketball and sort of math stat nerd.
You are.
I've seen you like only watching basketball.
But when I go home, it's exclusively time for anime, manga.
Say one other.
Anime, manga, and then just one other type of cartoon.
You want to know what manga is?
No, I want to know one other anime manga.
Manga, basically, there are these comics
that were created in Japan
in the late 19th century.
That's what manga is, if that's what you're wondering.
I wasn't. Did you just Google it?
No.
Okay, shut your computer and say something else about manga.
Manga, all right.
You're clearly reading.
Manga as a term used outside
refers to comics
I'm closing my computer right now.
Published in Japan.
You read the first half of the sentence, staring so intently at your computer,
lowered the computer, and then finished.
Do you want to know the difference between anime and manga?
I don't, but that hasn't stopped you so far during this conversation.
So, one second. I'm trying to rack my freaking brain. You're not trying far during this conversation. So. One second.
I'm trying to rack my freaking brain.
You're not trying to rack your brain.
I see you perusing an article.
Other magazines.
You're clearly reading Wikipedia.
Yeah.
You said yeah.
One second.
So now you just admitted it.
Anime.
You've gotten so lost in this lie that you've just started reading.
I mean.
No.
I don't think so.
You're gaining cursory knowledge of manga
and you're trying to pretend like you're an expert at anime news network you can't even
you bish now you're studying and still saying bad things yeah because i the problem is i've
been doing like a file find for my brain and it's like pulling up basically like why don't you shut
your computer and see if you can focus on you shut your mouth and i'll tell you about anime this is you get so defensive and so contentious the style of
hand-drawn computer i don't care what it is anymore i care about what you're doing and our
communication breakdown which is clearly it's it's making our it's making our partnership suffer at this point yeah
I was just gonna say that
the word anime
comes from
you were gonna say what?
animation
that's the most obvious
I don't know a thing about anime
and I could have said that
you really don't?
you think it makes a good podcast when we argue like this?
I think it's interesting
how much I know about manga.
You don't know anything about manga.
You've demonstrated that.
I know stuff about anime
and I know stuff about manga.
Now, I honestly have to go to the bathroom
and I'm taking my phone with me
because I'm so upset.
And when I get back,
you can ask me anything about my passion.
Honest, I could give you a full day and I'll ask you a question about manga or anime.
What's the most popular anime cartoon?
Wow.
Why don't you just name...
Give me a couple cartoons in the anime style.
This is gotcha journalism.
You're asking to be asked about it.
Yeah.
This is what you wanted.
What's the question?
You said...
Name an anime cartoon um
anime the japanese style of animation
that anime yes that anime and you're an expert on yeah you said that you knew everything there was
and that i could ask you anything about it for yeah um and so far all you've been able to do is
loosely define it as Japanese animation.
What was that one that was like a fucking breakout hit?
If it's a breakout hit, you should be able to know it.
Something moon.
Something got lost in the moon.
That's really close.
I'll almost give it to you for this.
Really?
But the fact that you could only come up with half of Sailor Moon.
Sailor Moon, for example.
Don't shout it now like you thought of it.
Right. Yeah. Forever Moon, Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon, for example. Don't shout it now like you thought of it. Right.
Yeah, Forever Moon, Sailor Moon.
That Forever Moon was not one.
Give me one other, but then we really have to move on.
You want me to tell you one?
No.
You just said...
One other question about anime.
Okay, who's the most...
Give me...
I can think of a question.
Just name another anime cartoon, I guess.
I feel like we already covered that.
This is covered ground.
Okay, fine.
Where did it originate?
Oh, China.
You are insane.
You suck.
Okay, relax, relax, relax.
We're all having fun here.
No, we're not.
We each have hobbies.
I'm having a miserable time.
You do the dungeons.
You don't have a hobby.
And I do the dragons.
Your hobby was that you knew about anime, but that was a lie because you didn't know anything about anime.
Yeah, anime.
Oh, remember that song that goes, eat the cake, anime.
Said, eat the cake, anime.
I'm nice.
Yes.
Drunk in love. So why do you think that makes you know
anything about anime well that's just another example of it no it's not okay that's an example
of it being referenced in pop culture but you it's clear now you're in a sour mood and i get that
because you don't have this are you into hen hentai porn? Is that what it is?
I do.
Anime porn, that type of shit.
Is hentai the porn?
I actually am not sure.
Yeah.
Is hentai the porn and anime is the non-porn?
The style, yeah.
So if you're seeing like an octopus fuck a Japanese schoolboy.
Yeah, that's probably hentai.
That's hentai.
Yeah.
Are you anti-hentai?
No, I'm pro-hentai.
It sounds like you might be only into hentai
and less so into the anime.
I'm into bow ties.
Not really into manga.
I'm anti-bow ties, pro-hentai.
Really?
Yeah.
Why are you anti-bow ties?
It just, it feels like it chokes me.
Whereas hentai releases me.
So yeah, that's porn. You are jerking off to the hentai yes specifically the octopus one where he's eating out whatever an
animated person i don't even want to gender qualify the octopus has eight different tentacles and it's
using its tongue to go down on somebody and you would not believe. What part is that where the octopus is just letting all of his phalanges go to waste?
It's a famous photo that I'm looking to get made for my bedroom.
Like framing it?
Exactly right.
You're a liar.
This is If I Were You, the only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us.
I'm Amir, a.k.a. Chaz.
No. And you? I'm Jake. internet hosted by us i'm amir aka chaz no and you i'm jake and you're not chaz all right well
um this actually is a perfect segue into the first question that we have
which was written to me um by someone we'll call manga we'll call. Manga. Will call? Will. Nice.
We'll call.
Yeah.
Manga.
Will call.
Like you had a ticket to it.
It's the subject is, is my girlfriend racist, dot, dot, dot, against me?
Oh.
I've been going out with my GF for three months now, starting to take a little,
and it's starting to get a little serious, and it's going great, except for one thing.
Every now and again, she says a remark about me that makes me think, hey, that's kind of racist.
I'm a pretty handsome and jacked half Asian fellow. And she'll often say things like,
you're so good looking for an Asian. Or
the first time we got together, she told me, my friends couldn't believe I got with an Asian guy.
But then I showed them your photo and they were like, oh, I've talked to her about it. And she
is just like, I'm not usually attracted to Asian guys, which I guess is fair. And she wouldn't be
going out with me if she was racist.
I guess my question is, am I being paranoid, or does my girlfriend suck?
P.S., I've attached a topless photo of me to prove that I'm jacked.
This is his photo.
He is jacked.
Yeah, he's very jacked.
Wow.
He's a hot guy.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just, he's huge.
Well, for an Asian.
Big, yeah, obviously for an asian everything we're
saying is technically for an asian uh so do you think manga has a point here is his girlfriend
racist yeah that was racist thing to say it's racist i mean you're hot for an asian and my
friends thought that i would never hook up with an Asian. Guys. Then I showed a photo of you.
Yeah.
And they were like, oh.
I'm like, I'm less, I'm more confused about like,
I'm not usually attracted to Asian people because that sounds racist.
But then like, it's not really racist to say like,
I don't usually like Mexican food.
Like, I don't, I think that's, I do think it's racist, I guess.
I'll say it's casual racism.
It's not like X is bad.
It's like, I'm usually not attracted to X.
Yeah.
I think, I'd love to talk to an expert on that, but the, you're attractive for an Asian is definitely racist.
Yeah, because it's like most Asians are unattractive is the subtext to that.
And as an Asian myself,
because Israel, as you know, is technically
in Asia, I find great offense
to that. Wow.
You're Asian? That's right. You're pretty
attractive. For anyone.
Oh, so you're not racist.
You're just mean to me.
You're pretty attractive for you, I guess.
I say you're attractive for anybody.
Out of all the people in the world.
That's really humanist, actually.
Really?
You're saying most people are ugly?
Yes.
Would you say the average person is average?
Or the average person is ugly?
Ooh.
I guess the average person is ugly. And even to me, the hottest people is ugly. Ooh. I guess the average person is ugly.
And even to me,
the hottest people are ugly.
Yeah.
How's that?
Well, I think humanity is despicable.
Do you think there's an example of a hot person?
I can see where your brain is going.
I already know what you're going to say.
You think you're the only hot person.
I mean, I'm pretty cute.
Exactly.
I think I'm hot.
Hell, yeah, I think I'm hot.
You said hot people are ugly because all of humanity is bad.
Well, I'm fine.
I asked you who the hottest person was.
I'm good.
And I saw you stare with a content face on your head and trying to figure out the most tactful way
to say that you're the hottest person on earth.
It's weird to bring up,
but yeah, I think I'm the hottest guy in the world.
I agree, it is weird to bring up.
And I feel like I shouldn't have to say that.
That's not on me.
You shouldn't and you couldn't say that.
I think it's nice that other people think that.
They don't.
And obviously I'm not going to be like,
hey, you're crazy. They don't think they are. I think they's nice that other people think that. They don't. And obviously I'm not going to be like, hey, you're crazy.
They don't.
Because I don't think they are.
I think they're crazy.
If someone thinks that, which they don't.
When I walk down the street and people are like, there goes the best looking guy in the world, I don't lower my ball cap and be like, don't talk to you.
I usually wave.
You're wearing a hat.
I'm nice.
You're wearing a hat and you think that?
I take a selfie, et cetera.
Any of the people that think I'm the
best looking person in the world. And that's
what they'll say? Well, because we have a like,
we're like-minded in that.
So we have a strong bond
and a kinship formed right off the
bat. So the thing that you have in
common with some fans of yours is that they
both think that you're the hottest person.
We all think that I'm the hottest person in the world.
And then it's also nice to agree that they're ugly to me and to themselves and to others.
And I don't think we need to get into the weeds on this too much.
Of course.
But everyone on earth is-
Coming across as crass.
Right.
Everyone on earth is ugly except for you.
That's where I was going.
I wouldn't have said it in exactly those words. You weren't going there's where I was going. I wouldn't have said it in exactly those words.
You weren't going there. You were already there.
I wouldn't have said it exactly like that. Yes, you did.
You already have said it exactly like that.
You made it a little uncouth. No, I did not.
You did make it a little uncouth.
Me talking about it? I think everyone
is ugly in the world
except for me, and I think I'm really hot.
And if that makes
me a shitty guy...
It does.
That attitude is specifically shitty.
Because you're not giving anyone else even an average quality.
You're saying they're all bad, and you're really, really good.
If I can finish, because I think that you might actually come to see this from my perspective.
I was just going to say, if that makes me a shitty guy, then I don't give a fuck, and you can fuck off.
Which is kind of, in a vacuum, that's a cool confidence statement. gonna say if that makes me a shitty guy then i don't give a fuck and you can fuck off which is
like kind of in a vacuum that's a cool confidence statement yeah but the way you're saying it now
makes me think that you're a bad guy so on a scale of one to ten everyone on earth is a one
no i would never and okay that's where i'm is i think they're a one two or three
three max obviously i'll pour yeah and lower third i'm a 10 would you say there's a situation
where maybe you're not perfect you're a nine or an eight because of your personality or something
that you would change about yourself that's a cool question i like that question but no um
maybe are you talking about just like you didn't consider personality but well definitely
personality because personality i would be asshole personality there are days when I haven't had my coffee and I'll start at like a nine.
No, I'm a 10 then too.
You're not nice.
I'm always a 10.
You're not nice.
Right?
Sorry.
And physically, do you think there's an area about yourself that you can improve?
Okay.
I have a pudgy waist and a big nose and crooked teeth.
Those are all negatives.
So give yourself at least minus one for each.
No.
Ten?
No, ten.
Yeah.
All right, you're a ten.
What about this guy?
His girlfriend's racist.
Low key, but he should still have a conversation.
Yeah, because he's half Asian.
Imagine if he was a whole Asian, how offended he would be.
So you're saying you can still keep...
Yeah, maybe she's doing it by accident.
She's not like a huge piece of shit and you have to dump her,
but she's acting shitty and you have to teach her.
Well, that's really nice.
Thank you.
That was very concise.
Would you say that makes me a 10?
I would say that makes your answer a 9.
Awesome.
And in terms of my looks?
6.
Oh, my God.
Just hearing it.
Let's give me a guy's name here.
A guy's name.
This guy's not half Asian.
How about frigging Trent?
What?
Trent.
Can you imagine? The biggest
size at Starbucks? Oh, man.
As a frickin' name? I'm gonna name
my kid Trent. That's cool.
Like Trent Dilfer. Yeah.
Yeah. Hey, guys. My name is
Trent. Alright. And I legit need
some help. I'm delivering pizzas
for the summer, and my manager at my store is
a lesbian. The not hot
kind.
She hired her girlfriend as the
assistant manager. She's deece.
My birthday recently
passed and as the assistant manager was leaving
the store, she said quietly I could
call her for birthday sex.
It's entirely possible she was joking
but I look awesome
so why wouldn't she want a bone, you know?
So, on the night of my birthday, I drank a bottle of Tennessee Honey Jack, and in a browned-out state, I called her at 2-0-9, naturally.
She did not answer, but I was informed in the morning that it woke both of them up. The manager texted me asking like, what the fuck?
And I said my friend took my phone and was playing around.
I don't think they bought it.
Now my lesbian boss thinks I drunkenly called her girlfriend at 2 in the morning because I did.
And it's super awkward at work.
She thinks that because you did.
Yes.
She knows that.
She thinks the truth. She thinks the because you did. Yes. She knows that. She thinks the truth.
She thinks the truth and knows it to be truth.
So what should I do?
Love, Trent.
Trent.
Trent here got caught dick-handed.
He browned himself out and he called his boss's girlfriend.
Yeah, boss's girlfriend made a salacious joke.
I think there was like something to the joke.
You don't think she would just make the joke
completely out of the blue?
Yeah, but I think, if anything,
what was meant by the joke was that you can flirt with me
and I'll flirt back,
and our flirtatious relationship can grow, not actually
call me drunk on your birthday and we'll have sex. Of course. So he took it too far. What if it was a
guy? So his girlfriend or his manager is still a lady and the assistant manager is a dude. And on
his way out was like, hey, call me for birthday sex you think that would be
him flirting with him because this girl's also just uh attracted to only female so maybe she
thought of it as such an out of the hand you don't know out of the possibility he says his boss is a
lesbian but she has a girlfriend her girlfriend could be bisexual could be but so could a guy
yeah so i'm so i guess it could be saying there's a chance that she was completely kidding, not even joking a little bit.
Or not even serious a little bit.
Yes, but I think also it's such a weird joke to make that I think that there's a kernel of truth there.
You can call me for birthday sex.
What about a website where people can sign up for birthday sex?
So like you could post a picture of yourself and like, hey, my birthday is August 5th.
If anyone wants to give me birthday sex.
It's sort of like a Kickstarter.
Yeah, because you're not getting paid, so it's not a money transaction.
It's just like.
It's a donation.
Yeah, it's a volunteer prostitution type situation where people are willing to fuck you on your birthday to make you feel better.
I dislike it. And I do see that you signed up yes the square space is up wow yeah
i can has birthday sex.edu the hard part was getting myself college accreditation
which took very long but i am an official university called I Can
Has Birthday Sex University.
You enrolled in DeVry for this, the EDU.
My college is enrolled in DeVry. So what should I do, this guy asks?
I think that there's a chance that you're just insecure because you know what you did,
but I think your lie probably worked.
He said, like I was drunk,
my friend was fooling around on my phone.
Yeah, and he called the girl that said birthday sex?
Yeah.
Maybe the friend knew about the offer.
Right.
And now at 2.09, the horniest time, 2.09 a.m.
The witching hour. The thirst.m. The witching hour.
The thirsting hour.
The thirsting hour, indeed.
Your friend took the phone and played a little goof around.
Fortunately, he didn't leave a voicemail.
Fortunately, it was just one call.
You have to buy the lie.
It's not a lie if you believe it.
That's right.
Buy the lie.
So buy your lie. Buy a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Buy a lie if you believe it. That's right, buy the lie. So buy your lie.
Buy your lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Buy your lie.
Buy your lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
Buy your lie.
All right, let's take a break.

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.

And we're back.
It's time for some...
Oh, it's a lesson!
Mom, I'm coming! Gross. My unsolicited advice Is unsolicited advice
That I took from someone
And I honestly forgot who it was
Because it was years ago and I read it on the internet
So I hope to one day figure out
Who it was again But the uns ago and I read it on the internet. So I hope to one day figure out who it was again.
But the unsolicited advice that I'm taking, using, and passing on to you and the listeners
right now is never correct anybody.
Think about that for a second.
Don't ever correct anybody.
You do that all the time.
I know. And I shouldn't. You said you were going to,
you said you'd take the advice. Imagine how many times I'm actually not correcting people
because either one, you're right. And you come off as an asshole or two, you're wrong. And then
you're just a jack asshole. Yeah. Yeah. So you're either a jackass hole or regular asshole the hard part is if
somebody's like yeah i was there i got there at four and i left there like four hours later so at
9 p.m would you have the fortitude in you to not say actually it was 8 p.m would you let it slide
probably you have to be able to let it slide even if it's like something so noticeable and
quantifiable and it's just something so noticeable and quantifiable.
It's just hard for me to like square the circle of you giving this advice.
You correct people more than anybody I know.
That's actually not true.
Yeah, I've been keeping tabs and somebody else corrects people more.
I thought that was interesting.
Never correct anybody
it's you do feel necessary like you you it's some sort of weird obligation like if i'm like
i was driving through the capital of tennessee you know knoxville i don't know what the capital
is what is the capital it's knoxville is it no i don't know nashville all right let's here's a
more blatant example i was driving through the capital of California, Davis.
Nashville.
Yeah.
Do you have it in you to be such a big person that you don't say, it's Sacramento?
Because what is that?
I think it depends.
I feel like everybody has a threshold.
And there are people that have very low thresholds.
Like you need to say it.
Nothing goes by me. Yeah. Like who who oh you mean whom oh yeah you mean amir and i the whom nazis
like the the little ones i think that's i think that's very annoying because sometimes i'm just
like talking to somebody that corrects me like did like that correct or is it just a little
different yeah that was a you know like it a detail. It's so superfluous.
Or it's an opinion-based one.
That's even worse.
But then sometimes it could be dangerous.
So I'm going the speed limit, 95.
Well, actually, the speed limit is 65.
You're putting yourself at risk.
Yeah, I guess there are excelsions to the rule.
Every rule has an excelsion. I feel like there are times when I go like the extreme other way,
like where I like don't correct people and I inconvenience them.
Oh,
where somebody is like,

Correct me, chicken.
So that's my piece of unsolicited advice.

Jake and what?
Are you going to correct me? You made another website? I was trying to mess up so you could correctirs.com. jakeandamirs.com. Jake and what? Are you going to correct me?
You made another website?
I was trying to mess up so you could correct me.
Ooh.
But that one would be important.
Yeah.
That's my low threshold.
All right.
Let's try to answer some more questions here.
Oh, here's a good one.
Go for it.
We'll call this guy Guy.
Nice.
Because he is a guy.
We've definitely called someone Guy before, right?
Yeah.
For sure.
I learned something kind of disturbing about a friend of mine, writes Guy.
He's getting married in five months and just admitted that when he and his fiance have sex,
she makes him pull out and come on his own hand, even though she's
on birth control.
I understand wanting to be precautious and everything, but why are the stomach or back
off limits?
Why must this guy have to resort to coming in his own hands after sex?
This is just demeaning, and I have no idea how someone could let things get to this point
I just want to tell this guy
That this is not normal
And it's a sign of bad things to come
But to be totally honest
I really don't like this guy
So why would I want to interfere with his personal life
Still
I feel like if things continue to go like this
He could live the rest of his life
Very unhappily
If you guys were in his shoes, would
you gladly take it onto your
own hands or put this girl
on blast? And if you were me,
would you intervene or let
this guy make what could possibly be
a huge mistake?
Ta-da! And seize the cheese love
guy. Alright, guy.
Nice eye, guy.
You're a bad guy.
I don't think he's a bad guy.
He's consulting us.
He hasn't done anything yet. He just learned something
personal. I think the fact that he even thinks
these things is bad. Oh,
so you're saying he's bad just for thinking
it. That's when you're really stuck.
There's nothing demeaning about coming into your own hand,
like pulling out and not coming on someone.
But what about the fact that she's making him come into his hand?
She's probably just saying, don't come on me.
So that's fine.
Don't come on me is one thing, but don't come on anything but your own hand.
Maybe he could come into the sheets.
Maybe he could come somewhere else.
But she's like, don't do that.
It really has to be your hand.
Well, then, yeah.
If he doesn't have another solution.
Then the what?
Then he comes in his hand.
But what if the girl is demanding the guy comes in his own hand, specifically?
No Kleenex. towel no sheet no foul
no place on earth i to come on my man but the slick little wrists on your rubbery hand
weird limerick if she is saying you cannot come, you cannot come on my back,
you cannot come in my crack.
In my rack.
You cannot come on my box.
You cannot come on a box.
You cannot come there, Sam, I guy.
You cannot come there, Sam, I am.
You must come in your hand.
Nice.
So I think even that is still fine because he doesn't have to have sex with her.
Dr. Poose.
But like, I don't think that that's where, I don't think that that's what it is.
I think it's just somebody who doesn't like semen, who's saying, don't come in me, don't
come on me.
You figure it out.
So he's coming into his hand which is i guess the third
best thing which is still pretty good have you ever done that come into my hand yeah of course
i've never come onto my hand what during sex yeah i've never come onto my hand i'm sorry to hear
that it's okay it's so you're on this dude's side. You think it's unacceptable.
He shouldn't have to come in his own hand.
I don't think it's unacceptable.
But I do think it's a little odd that the girlfriend is making him come in his hand.
She's not necessarily making him come in his hand.
We just don't know.
And I think that this is this guy's place.
You can reasonably assume.
I want this guy to really delve deeper. And I think that this is this guy's place. You can reasonably assume. I want this guy to really delve deeper.
And I think it needs to be via a prank call.
This is so far from, okay, what?
You call the girl, not the guy.
Obviously the guy's going to lie about it to protect his main lover.
So you call the fiance and you say, hey, this is Women in the Wheeze, part of a morning time radio show in Kansas City.
We have a whack, whack, wacky question for you.
Click.
Hello?
All right.
Holy shit.
How'd she know?
That's fair.
Wacka, wacka.
I honestly thought that would work.
Call again.
All right.
Hi, this is a repairman.
Do you come in your hand and why?
I guess the answer either way is don't intervene.
Don't correct anyone.
It's not, oh, there we go.
Don't correct him.
It's also a guy that you don't even necessarily like.
So what's the pressure here?
Well, I mean, if anything, this is something you would do to someone you didn't like.
This is not behavior that is becoming of a friend, I don't think.
Oh, so because you don't like him, then you can find out, get to the bottom of it,
like some sort of perverted Robin Hood, try to right this wrong. You're a vigilante of yourself.
Did the friend, like, he didn't necessarily say like, she makes me come in my hand and i don't
like it and i wish i didn't have to and it makes me sad like then it's worth being like well you
should talk to her about that you should have a conversation if he came to you looking for advice
then say then encourage them to talk but if he's just like yeah the sex is great. I come in my hand. High five.
Then it's not a big deal you're saying.
I don't think it's a big deal, regardless.
All right.
So would you gladly take it onto your own hands or put this girl on blast?
It sounds like gladly take it onto your own hands.
And if you were me, would you intervene?
We're both saying no.
No.
Don't intervene.
Another question?
Oh, yeah.
Let's get to it.
Number four.
Hell, yeah.
Good team.
It's from another guy.
Oh, yes.
Let's go.
We'll call this guy Mississippi
because he's moving to Mississippi.
The capital of Mississippi?
Of course. It's Mississippi City, USA's moving to Mississippi. The capital of Mississippi? Of course, is Mississippi City, USA.
Way to go.
Jackson.
Hey, guys, I could really use some advice.
I'm moving to Mississippi in the fall for graduate school,
and my girlfriend is going to come with me,
and we're going to get a one-bedroom apartment together.
The problem is my girlfriend is trying to get into dental school,
and she's been waitlisted at her Plan B school
and won't know 100% whether she is rejected or not until the fall i'm trying to plan a life for us
and i really need to know if she's in or she's out i've voiced my concerns and she's made it very
clear to me that if she gets into her dental school uh and that dental school invites her in
the last minute she's going to accept their offer and leave me stuck with a crazy expensive rent
in a one-bedroom apartment.
If she isn't going to be in Mississippi with me,
I would rather live with a roommate than alone,
but I might end up getting stuck
in a really bad living situation
if she bails on me last minute.
What do I do?
Do I insist that she make up her mind prior to the move
so that I can plan my living situation
accordingly? We've been together for almost three years and we agreed to do long distance if she
ends up going to dental school in a different state this year. Love, Mississippi. Well, Mississippi,
this is a very self-centered question. Well, Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi.
I hate to come at everybody this episode, but criminy.
What are you going to tell them?
I don't think it's fair that he's like making his girlfriend's dental school plans take a backseat to his plans.
He's making her conform to everything that he's got in the docket or in the tank or in the whatever it is.
The plan, the agenda, the calendar, the cards.
The problem is she's saying, don't get a roommate yet.
So he can be like, all right,
why don't we just plan on not living together?
If you get into your dental school, that's good.
If not, you'll get a one bedroom by yourself.
Because then she's inconveniencing him.
Yeah, I think that this is an inconvenient situation,
but I don't think that she's inconveniencing him because he could also be inconveniencing her.
He's moving to Mississippi before she finds out about dental school.
So she's like there's it's not fair to be like what you've done is inconvenienced us.
What's happening is inconvenient to both of you.
So now it happens to be going through her because of her dental
school but it also i mean look at it from her perspective she's waiting to hear if she got
into dental school she's hanging she's finding out where it is and then there's a like her
boyfriend just finds out that he's got to go to grad school and he has to move to mississippi
and he has to do it now yeah that's inconvenient to her so what's the best way to uh to go around
this what's the what's a win-win or at the very least an equal lose-lose situation?
Well, first of all, come on, don't be a dentist.
After that.
You're an orthodontist.
Periodontist.
So I study gums, mom.
Here's what you do, I think.
You go short-term sublet.
At your place or until you get a one-bedroom together?
Either way.
You could go vacation rental, like a short-term roommate situation where you can either potentially extend or move out and find your own place
if she
or a new
like a longer term roommate
if she gets into dental school
or then
if you find out
that she
did not get into dental school
or got into dental school
in Mississippi
then you can get
the place together
but you need an interim
living solution
a short term
rental situation
yeah
so you do short term
Airbnb style month to month shit until she figures out her shit.
A sublet.
And then you do the permanent solution.
Yeah.
How much can a one-bedroom in Mississippi cost?
$4 a month and a can of beans?
I mean, it's so—literally, it's so stupid down there that I wouldn't be surprised if they paid honest to God with beans.
Like, I was joking earlier.
I saw.
I'm on Craigslist right now.
You are on Craigslist.
I can see your wallet.
And it is, you've got, you have black beans, kidney beans.
Yep, limas, yeah.
There is a refried bean paste.
I'm hoping.
I'm hoping to God to make the big move.
You only have beans.
To Oxford, God willing.
You don't have cash.
You have beans.
Have you ever had to find a roommate?
I fortunately avoided that.
I've always lived with friends or loved ones.
I've never Craigslisted it up.
Yeah, I've never had to find a roommate that I did not know.
There was a time where I thought I might,
but I was looking for single places to live and roommate and shares like
at the same time.
Yeah.
And I ended up without a stranger roommate.
God,
what a scary situation that is.
Like,
have you ever sold anything on Craigslist?
The people you meet on there are just the bizarrest.
I sold a whole bunch of people.
You've sold people?
I sold people.
I sold two people. I sold Craig. No of people. You've sold people? I sold people. I sold two people.
I sold Craig.
No, no, no.
I didn't sell people.
I sold two people.
There's two people max.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Fine, I sold three people.
That's still people.
I sold things to people on Craig's list.
Can you imagine living with them?
You helped me move the couch with one of those people.
Excuse me?
Remember we moved the couch from my house
To that guy's house
He was nice
That was your cousin
No no no he was from Craigslist
What the fuck are you talking about
Oh wow you're throwing up
I moved the couch
Into his fucking house
Man
And what
You made me sound like I said you fucked your sister or something.
I think I'm going to be sick.
I think you ate too many beans.
I ate 40 beans.
I ate a 40-bean salad earlier.
That's actually not that many.
It isn't, and that's why I feel so anemic.
I think I need the fucking fiber or something about it.
Yeah, Craigslist is a weird place. I'd
hate to find a roommate on it, which is why my other idea for a website is normalroommates.edu.
It's another school I'm starting.
Why do you keep on starting schools?
I feel like there's a lot of money to be had in educational institutions because, and I
say this without not knowing anything,
they don't have to pay taxes.
I'm fucking serious.
I really think they don't.
I don't think they have to pay taxes, man.
I don't think they don't do taxes.
Yo, Serge, dude, let's start a fucking church, dude.

Yo, man, I want to run a nonprofit with you, dude.

What does that mean, dude?
I want to stand in my truth, Surge.
Stand in your truth?
