Starting point is 00:02:51 It's cool to like actually experience being friends with your boss. It's fucking desperate. It's fucking desperate. For who? I know your middle name. It's a waste of opportunity. A waste of opportunity? Yeah, because we're very limited in terms of digital content.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Like, what the fuck's the point? I think you might be really stupid. Correct me if I'm wrong. What's your fucking... What's my name you think is a waste of digital... Content. ...and opportunity? Cost.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Yeah. So what's your fucking middle name? Marie? That's mine. Is it? Yeah. Is it really? Nice.

Starting point is 00:03:52 No, we all know your middle name. It's Shmuel, but that's Yiddish for Jude. Yeah. Riley, just so you know, this is a video special Patreon-only exclusive episode of our podcast. We're recording this there. There's a hidden camera there. Two more over here. You have a GoPro in your urethra filming into your body.
Starting point is 00:04:17 And I'm taking a selfie. There's a little camera on this. Let's cut to the GoPro cam. Just utter black. There's one more inside me. There it is. Ah, my stomach hurts, but it is in there. It looks good, though.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Yeah, it's dark, and it's hot down there, but it's fine. But we're still, at the end of the day, this is an advice show. We still need to answer some questions, so why don't we get right to it? Yeah, because the opportunity in digital content. We're really wasting it. You want to fucking talk about your birthdays now? in digital content. We're really wasting it. You want to fucking talk about your birthdays now? August 5th.
Starting point is 00:04:48 June 3rd. Nice. Summer, baby. Yay! I love that. I never got celebrations in school because my birthday was in the summer.
Starting point is 00:04:53 You're rolling your eyes so far. Give us a shit. Ask a question, then. I don't have any. Then our job is done. You're like so hell-bent on creating good
Starting point is 00:05:02 online digital content, but you're just screaming at us. You're just being mean-bent on creating good online digital content but you're just screaming at us. You're just being mean. Do you guys care about my middle name? Do you give a shit about my middle name?
Starting point is 00:05:11 You said it was Jude. You tried to steal Riley's middle name. I thought it would be a conversation starter. It was a conversation ender. Fair. We started the conversation.
Starting point is 00:05:20 You said, let's move on. This is a waste. Yeah, this entire time you've just been trying to hijack a conversation and bring it to an abrupt end before it's even run its course. Daniel Day-Lewis writes. Holy shit. I can't believe you wrote it in. One of my best buds who's currently unemployed has been aggressively looking for a job for a few
Starting point is 00:05:38 months now. He's 31 years old, has a bachelor's degree, and is more than qualified for many of these jobs. He keeps getting turned down for these jobs, and he's starting to feel discouraged about the whole process. I feel for him, but I think I know why he keeps getting rejected. His teeth are disgusting. I'm talking
Starting point is 00:06:00 black tar from cigarettes, visible plaque, just overall awful teeth. Were it not for his nice clothes and haircut, he'd look like a friggin' homeless dude. I normally overlook his atrocious ma, but because he's my bud, I worry about potential employers aren't as forgiving. I mean, who wants to hire someone who looks like a meth addict? So my question to you, fellers, is, should I say something?
Starting point is 00:06:23 And Riley. Yeah. Riley's here, too. Sorry, he didn't know that say something? And Riley. Yeah. Riley's here too. Sorry, he didn't know that. Daniel. Just easy. Yeah. Fellers.
Starting point is 00:06:29 No, it's okay. I get it a lot. I get it a lot. It's fine. It pisses me off, Riley. Don't make a big thing of it. It shouldn't piss you off more than it pisses Riley off. It's just like, fine.
Starting point is 00:06:38 It seems like she doesn't want to be here. It's rude. It's crude. And honestly, dudes, guys, those dudes right there. You just made a point to be inclusive of me being here as a woman. And now you're saying dudes as guys. And now you're crying. Just like, stop.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Now you're crying so quickly. You're making it a big thing. You went mad to sad. And now, okay. Now you're what? What is this one? Why are you more sad than I am? You're dumbed by it.
Starting point is 00:07:04 You're dumbed by it. You're dumbed by it. It made me dumb. Yeah. It made me simple. Yeah. You're simple. He's a bit touched. I became a simpleton when I...
Starting point is 00:07:11 Oh, no. You are. Okay. Should I say something as his friend? And if so, how do I bring it up? I can't just say, Hey, man, your teeth are fucked up. Hope you're having a great day.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Please help a brother out. That's not bad. Your teeth are fucked up. Hope you're having a great day. Please help a brother out. That's not bad. Your teeth are fucked up. Hope you're having a great day. Hope you're having a great day. That's fine. You can give any awful criticism you want as long as you say, hope you're having a great day. You're a nasty little idiot and you have bad skin and a weird nose, and you're poor.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Hope you're having a great day. Okay, that's funny. That's great. I'm having a sour day because of the thing you said. It was good before that. Yeah, but now we're talking about the day. Yeah, you're small, you're meek, and you're very close-minded. You're talking to him.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Talking to you. What the fuck? You're an absolute bigot, and no one likes being around you, but hope you're having a great day, brother. Well, thanks, girl! I am having a nice day. I love the autumn. It is
Starting point is 00:08:15 February 9th. Really? Damn, these come out slow. Riley, I'm sorry to hear that. Riley, you have great teeth. What's your oral hygiene history? Were you a braces? Were you a retainer? Were you an expander?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Or are they veneers? That's fine, too. Pulls them all out. So sharp. Or is it like, oh, I've never had any of that stuff. I'm just naturally perfectly aligned, which I hate. Yeah. What is it?
Starting point is 00:08:40 Do you want me to answer? I want you to answer truthfully. I just hope it aligns with my worldview. You're getting sicker as you continue to speak. She never had braces, bud. No, I did. When I was younger, I had buck gap teeth. Bucked gap. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:08:54 How could they be? They're out far and thick. They were out far and wide. Would love to see a photo. Oh, there's so many. It was great. Like, you could drive a double-decker bus through those boys. I love that. The Dave Letterman style.
Starting point is 00:09:08 It was truly like that. Oh, my God. Letterman teeth. Letterman teeth on, like, eight-year-old Riley. Can orthodontists sort of shape it in any way they want, or is braces made specifically to straighten your teeth? You could get, like, apex braces. Yeah, I want, like like braces that give me a separation
Starting point is 00:09:26 or I want teeth that are aligned like a triangle or maybe I can have every other teeth. That would be really cool. Like that's like the next thing that Christian Bale is gonna do. You know, like a real like method actor. Like maybe a Daniel Day-Lewis. I lost 80 pounds and also I made my teeth crooked
Starting point is 00:09:41 for the role. I'm sure you could, I'm sure that can happen. It took three years, but I ruined my bite for a fucking movie. For four months of my life. Because my character, when he bites into his sandwich, can't really get a clean break on the lettuce. You know what I mean? I want a guy that can... Your teeth aren't sharp.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah. That's a character. Blunt my teeth. It's a character thing you want? It's off the edge. How do you tell your friend if they have shitty teeth? What are you trying to say? How do you tell somebody?
Starting point is 00:10:08 It's the question. Don't get defensive. How do you give somebody news like this? I don't know if you do. I don't know if it's your right. I don't know if it's your role. I don't know if these job offers are actually being ruined by the teeth situation. Really?
Starting point is 00:10:20 I don't even know if that's legal. Did you feel like this? Did you feel like he feels? What? What do you mean? I feel like he's if that's legal. Did you feel like this? Did you feel like he feels? What? What do you mean? I feel like he's wrong across the board. I think that this is totally within the friend's bounds, and I think this is probably why the guy's not getting the job.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I think if the friend asks point blank, like, why do you think I'm not getting these jobs? Then I think maybe. I think lead by example. If the guys are having a sleepover, let's say. Yeah. Let's floss. Yeah, the friend would be like,
Starting point is 00:10:52 look at this crest optic white I'm using. Do you want some? Oh, that's cool. No, I'm good. I'm going to brush my teeth with this Snickers bar. Why can't I get a job? You put in your retainer and I'll put in this thing that makes cola on my teeth for eight hours straight.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Or maybe we could try flossing with a water pick. I'd put an Oreo on the top and a Twix on the bottom and I'd smash my face into mud and that's how I sleep. And can I have a job? And can I marry your fucking daughter? What if you dared him? Like what if you're like, I bet you can't do this. Because guys love a challenge I feel like. I dare you
Starting point is 00:11:36 to brush your teeth twice if not thrice daily. Whoa, a double doggy dare. It's beyond brushing. It's beyond brushing. Brushing and flossing. And water pick. He needs veneers. He needs veneers. I just learned about veneers and how prevalent they are.
Starting point is 00:11:50 A lot of actors and actresses just have fake teeth on their teeth. Toddlers and tiaras, the children do that as well. For baby teeth? Mm-hmm. Baby teeth veneers. Baby teeth veneers. That should be illegal. You ever seen a baby that's like super hot except for his smile?
Starting point is 00:12:09 Easy. What? I'm serious. Except for his smile. What are you talking about? Like a toddler that's sexy. Like a 10 in every regard. Obviously not.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Except the kid just has sort of a... A crooked smile. Like a... A shit-eating grin. Yeah. And you're like, and he's two. Hey, listen.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And he's two. Listen, young baby, you're a six-month-old. You would be a fucking piece of ass. It's like imprinting in Twilight when the wolf falls in love with the baby on sight. Jesus, that's in Twilight?
Starting point is 00:12:44 Yes. I've never, that's so Twilight? Yes. I've never seen that so fucked up. It's called imprinting. Say that again, what happens in Twilight? The wolf, the werewolf falls in love with the baby of the vampire on site.
Starting point is 00:12:58 This is like the most fucked up joke I've ever made on the podcast is just the point of a multi-million dollar franchise. It's like, no, I'm-million dollar franchise. But it's like, it's like, no, I'm not gonna fuck the baby. It's like, no, I'm gonna love you like a brother, and then once you're of age, then we're gonna get married. Is this... That's sort of like the point
Starting point is 00:13:16 in The Time Traveler's Wife, too. Where, like, this guy's like a 34-year-old, and he, like, time travels back, and he, like, meets his wife as she's, like, five, and he, like, knows her her whole her her whole life and then like at a certain point when they're she's like 18 it's like now we're ready like yeah it's fucked as hell but your joke was also pretty bad anyway i think you say look bud i think that you're that your teeth are messed up and i want to help you fix it and the reason I think it's worth having this hard conversation
Starting point is 00:13:45 is because this will drastically improve his life. It's not just the job. He's going to have more self-confidence. He's going to be able to date people. He's going to be... I think it's going to be such a boon to him as a person. A bread boon? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Or an Aaron boon. It'll be more of an Aaron boon in that regard. A Megan Batoon. Amazing. A Megan Bat. Or an Aaron Boone. It'll be more of an Aaron Boone in that regard. A Megan Battoon. Amazing. A Megan Battoon and an Aaron Boone. I think it will be a walk-off homer in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. But do you think Aaron Boone's time to shine? Do you think he doesn't know that his teeth are bad,
Starting point is 00:14:17 that this is an eye-opening conversation you have to have with him? He might know. He might have an inkling. He might be like, I have bad teeth. He has to know. He probably knows, but he probably doesn't know that other people are noticing it. You know, sometimes you're like, oh, I've got this zit. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:14:32 I probably notice it more than other people. You're one thing that you're insecure about. You're like, I can imagine that I focus on it more so than others. Yeah, but you want to be like, no, everybody knows it. That's why you can't get a job. I think you need to confirm his worst fears. I do. Well, I also think like,
Starting point is 00:14:49 if someone has bad teeth, or like, the thought process might be, okay, it's bad, but it's not as bad as other people's, so that's why they don't notice it. And maybe it's like, you know, if someone's a smoker,
Starting point is 00:14:58 it's like showing someone a photo of like a black lung. Like, show him bad teeth, but it's actually his teeth. Like, show a photo of him like, look at how bad your teeth are. What would you do if your teeth were like this? You're holding a mirror. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Imagine if your teeth looked like this. Full mirror. I'm hideous. All right. So we got one vote for tell him, one vote for not. And then Riley? Show, don't tell. That's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Thank you. Thank you to DraftKings for sponsoring this episode of our show. Hey-o, DraftKings. The NFL is back. That's correct.

That's not true.
Starting point is 00:18:06 How do you know that? It's a college called Hamilton. That's definitely named after Alexander Hamilton. You don't know that. Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton. It's named after the musical. Long-time listener, long-time fan writes,
Starting point is 00:18:20 Hamilton, sorry, James Madison, sorry, James Monroe. I'm a 20-year-old college student and I'm currently working at an internship. Today was payday and my pay stub shows that I got paid way more than I actually worked. My two-week pay period should have been 80 hours of regular pay and an hour and a half of overtime. However, they gave me 99 hours of regular pay and three and a half hours of overtime. Based on my math, this is an extra 400 bucks, which I could really use right now. However, it feels sort of wrong to keep it. Should I tell someone about it?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Do I have an obligation to legally or morally? My check was automatically deposited in my bank account, so I wouldn't have to actually give it back to them rather than writing a new check. Note, this is not a small business by any means, so I'm not sure they'll even notice the $400 that are gone. Please help me out of this sticky situation, and maybe I will give you some of the $400. Well, then that sort of defeats the purpose. No, it doesn't because I want that money.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Well, he needed it. He said he needed it right now. No, because he's a fucking intern. He doesn't need money. He's losing a fucking ramen. How old are you? I'm 12. Got it.
Starting point is 00:19:28 You're going through these changes. Yeah, I don't know why. There's hair where there wasn't hair before. What would you do in this situation? I would keep... Would you bite the bullet and let someone know? I feel like... I think I would let someone know.
Starting point is 00:19:42 And the reason is because not... Because I think it's the morally right thing to do. Though I think that's let someone know. And the reason is because not because I think it's like the morally right thing to do. I think there's like that's an added bonus. But the bigger this the the fear here is that they find out and then they find out that you didn't tell them. Oh, and then like that's like I don't think they could like I don't think that's like a fireable offense. You could plead ignorance. You could definitely plead ignorance. You could be like, oh, I didn't even notice.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I'm like, it's direct deposit. I didn't even notice the extra $400 you gave me. Because I'm rich, bish. You want the money? Keep the money. And then you let it cigar on fire. But I think you should do the right thing. I think it also will make you look good to your bosses who you tell.
Starting point is 00:20:21 So like that might end up in a promotion down the line. And then maybe you're district manager. And then maybe you're making the hiring and firing decisions. And then maybe you're- You fire your bosses. Yeah. And you're the goddamn CFO. Or the COO.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Or the CTO. Or the CEO. You created the company. You're the company creator now. Any CO is good. I don't see it happening. I don't think this is the happy end to a fairy tale that they teach kids. You don't think he has what it takes to be a CEO?
Starting point is 00:20:51 I think in the real world, if you have what it takes to be a CEO, you'll keep that $400. You know why? Because you deserve it. Bank error in my favor, motherfucker. And you know what? I'm fired? No, fuck you. You're fired.
Starting point is 00:21:02 You're an intern. Huh? You're an intern. You're gone. You're out. Quiet Huh? You're an intern. You're gone. You're out. Quiet, Riley. You got what it takes. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:21:10 For jail. No. Book them. That's right. You're the CEO of prison now. That means you're everybody's bitch. You're the kingpin. What would you do?
Starting point is 00:21:21 Would you give it back? Do you have a strong moral compass? Oh, I'm such a coward. I'd give it back in a second. She's been siphoning money from HeadGum since she started. Yeah. I mean, like, when I interned here, I wasn't paid. So God knows I wouldn't know what to do if that situation happened.
Starting point is 00:21:34 She was stealing LaCroix's. That's how she was paid. I saw her in the refrigerator eating a LaCroix can. She shotgunned a LaCroix. A pomplamoose on the day. She beer bonged a berry. Yeah, and it was so much carbonation that she was feeling belchy and gassy. And I flew away.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah. Mary Poppins style. Oh, no, is that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Willy Wonka style. Yeah. I would totally let them know. It's that fear. I think you are led by the fear of someone finding out.
Starting point is 00:22:08 I'm led by like, it's the right thing to do. The fear of God. The fear of God in my heart at all times. Yeah. I think one should always behave honorably if possible. But sometimes you need to delude yourself into behaving honorably by being afraid of the repercussions. That works, too. And this is a big company.
Starting point is 00:22:27 They're probably taking advantage of you in something. You can spin it morally that you're actually in the right here and they're in the wrong. And that this is the universe cosmically giving you an attaboy. Right. But then I think if you do that, I have no qualms with you. But your come up is $400. That's like where it peaks for you. And if you do the right thing, if you give the money back, there's no ceiling.
Starting point is 00:22:53 There's no telling how high you can go, brother, because you look good for your bosses. You've done the right thing. You feel good morally. You lift your spirits. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and. Oh, fly away. Oh, he's burping. He's gassy. Burp, Charlie.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Burp. I'm gas. You know what I mean, though? What? You know what I mean? What did you say? Jude knows what the hell I'm talking about. What about you, Jude?
Starting point is 00:23:26 No, I hear you. Because then it's like, if you tell them, you look awesome, and they're like, oh, we trust you. Here's more money. Yeah, it might be. Exactly. You might even get the bonus. Alright. That's still free cash. So you're wrong, Blue? Well, I wouldn't say there's a right or wrong in this situation. I would just say there's a legal and moral obligation
Starting point is 00:23:41 to do one thing, and I'm advocating the other. You are always for doing nothing. My friend has back to you do i tell them no i have four hundred dollars for my company and they're going out of business now do i say anything you're a curmudgeon i'm a weird little parrot duck curmudgeon uh all right one last question yeah this is from a lady give me a fake female's name to call this person. Betty. That's perfect. Whoa, Black Betty.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Bop, bop, bop. Black Betty writes, So I have a friend who I have had a bit of a weird relationship with over the last few years. He was actually my first kiss. It was not a great experience, I gotta say. But we have already been through the phases of being interested in each other. We have good chemistry killer banter and he is actually the most hilarious person to me our sense of humor compatibility is next level i honestly don't think i've ever met anyone who is as funny as he is the problem is we have been super platonic this year and i know i would never pursue him
Starting point is 00:24:43 because he is a terrible kisser also he moved also he has a girlfriend so my question is other things are so much bigger how would you advise me to get over this guy on all levels i feel like he's my the standard of my kind of hilarity and compatibility without me actually wanting to pursue him? How do I stop comparing him to all the other guys? What do I do? Thanks, hilarious dudes. Keep doing what you're doing, making me look like a loon as I laugh aloud while listening to you
Starting point is 00:25:15 on the train during my uni commuty. Oof. Okay. Betty. She has a crush on this guy or she doesn't like this guy? Both. Why the... Excuse me?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Why? Does this resonate with you at all? I don't quite understand what's happening here. I get it. I think it's like when you click with a dude or a lady or whoever, and they're really funny, it's compatible, that's great. But if there's no spark, if there's no chemistry. You've got to have the fire.
Starting point is 00:25:56 You've got to have the fire. That's how it works. Yeah, exactly right. That's really good. What are you doing? Fire. In the post, we're going to edit little fire emojis coming out of my arms. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Depends on how much the Patreon makes. A lot of it depends on the Patreon. So now she's comparing every guy she meets with this guy that she finds very exciting, but not necessarily a good kisser. So what's the big idea? It's weird. She's like, he's great, but I would never want to pursue him
Starting point is 00:26:31 because in order, bad kisser doesn't live near me and is in a relationship. I mean, go reverse order on that, for sure. Because the kissing is so innocuous as to not even matter. I spent this entire question thinking of like, oh, yeah, like kissing is the one thing
Starting point is 00:26:47 that you can teach somebody to do. You can't teach somebody to be compatible like humor-wise with you. Right. That's like, that's the lightning in a bottle that you can't recreate
Starting point is 00:26:55 and now he doesn't live near you and has a girlfriend. So I'm sorry, but you are fucked. Also, there's so many other funny people in the world. Nothing's funnier than this.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Yeah. Do you think it's harder to find someone who's attractive or harder to find someone who has a good personality? The latter. Personality. Attractive. Wait. Attractive?
Starting point is 00:27:18 It's really hard to find somebody that's hot and also likes you. It's easy to find people who are funny and like you. At least for me. I'm a comedian, and all my friends are ugly and funny in that order. And are obsessed with me. I think that for me, it's easier to find people that I can make laugh
Starting point is 00:27:38 because that's how I try to communicate with people in general. But can you find people easily who make you laugh as much as you make them laugh? Yeah. No. I don't know. I guess easily who make you laugh as much as you make them laugh? Yeah. No. I don't know. I guess I... No one's as funny as me.
Starting point is 00:27:50 It's harder for me to... It's hard to answer because I can only really think about what I value more. And I think somebody being hot to me is the ultimate. There's nothing... Congratulations on your wedding,
Starting point is 00:28:03 by the way. These are Jake's vows there's just someone being hot to be the ultimate no I'm serious alright can I say something I do
Starting point is 00:28:10 for real for real there's just nothing more sexy there's nothing there's nothing more important to me in a relationship than just being able to like look at somebody
Starting point is 00:28:18 and be like you're really hot do you know what I mean yeah to like we're mad that you're serious to be able like don't tell us that
Starting point is 00:28:24 to be able to find somebody we are taking you seriously so don't act like you're not. And it's really bad. Truly, truly, on a fucking real level, that they're like hot. Yes, I know what you're saying. That you want someone to be hot, not necessarily a good person. It doesn't matter if they are a good person. Right, so I'm saying at the very least, the personality is fine or bad.
Starting point is 00:28:39 It doesn't have to be your priority, but say that it's important. It's not important. You can think of it, but don't say it. I'm giving you an out. Say that they're both important. Yes. That you have to be attracted to somebody and they have to actually treat you well. And you're not taking that life out.
Starting point is 00:28:56 So if they're hot, then nothing else, to me, matters. Of course. Everything else falls into place based on if they are a hot person. You shouldn't answer this question. You should sit this one out. And the kissing was mediocre, she said. Yeah, she said bad. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Is that fine for you? As long as he's hot. So you're fine with someone being hot even if they're a bad kisser to you. A-okay. Because you're at the very least getting to look at someone who's attractive. Get a fucking poster.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I have one. It's Pam Anderson on a Ferrari and she's holding a fucking carafe of beer. And that's my wife. And I'm in love. And then to laugh, I have an Adam Sandler CD and a keychain that makes fart noises.
Starting point is 00:29:49 And for food, I'll eat an everything bagel. No one asked about food. Very well. We're all going to laugh at you. So he doesn't live near her and is in a relationship are the other really big parts and she said she wouldn't even be interested in him so her question is how do I stop comparing him
Starting point is 00:30:11 to other guys that I meet I think it's okay to compare him to guys that you meet because if you have a high standard for somebody that other guys should live up to that's totally cool so now your standard is that you want to meet somebody that makes you laugh and that you
Starting point is 00:30:25 like as much as this friend of yours and that also is a better kisser. So if you can find that person who you held up to that standard, then that's okay. That's great. I like that. It's beautiful. Also. Hot. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Hot. You had it. They've got to be hot. We're also at the end of the episode, so you could almost cut this out. That's what he's ending on.
