If I were you, the best podcast that makes me laugh, it gets me too
If I were you
So if I stuck in a dying straight, I'd email into a man drink
If I were you
If I were you
She was the one who we wanted people to potentially donate to her Kickstarter
You can also check out her Bandcamp
They have a whole Bandcamp page with the actual song
So thanks, Audrey, thanks, 6C
That is our time
Thank you so much for listening
You think we can convince people who are sort of passively listening
That they listen to a whole podcast?
Wow, time really flew
Yeah
I guess I won't even rewind
It must have been a good episode
If I don't remember anything, it must have been a good one
It was perfect because nothing offended me
It was neutral, so it was good
Nothing was negative, so it was positive
It was a net good
Yeah, overall good episode
This is If I Were You, the only advice podcast on the internet
Hosted by us, I'm Amir
I'm Jake
There are other advice podcasts on the internet
It's not, we're not that novel, right?
I don't, yeah, definitely not
Yeah, but it is the only one hosted by us
That's true
So that's the best way to be unique
Is that you just say, oh, I'm in it
That's the way it's
This is the only time that I do it
Yeah, it's one of a kind
Because I don't do anything else
James Cameron wrote Titanic, but I wrote one too
So mine's unique
It's the only Titanic movie written by me
Yeah, that's what I'm bringing to the table
At the very least, it's only that I wrote it and then acted in it
Perfect
So how does it work?
People write us in with their problems
They need advice
And so we try to answer it
There are emails
That was perfect
That was one of the worst ones ever
At least it was concise
For all of your rambling, it was quick
Yeah, I stopped in the middle, so that was good
It's, if I were you, show at gmail.com
If you have your own questions
Do you have some fake names to give these people?
If we want to read these emails
But preserve their anonymity?
Sure, since we're talking about being sick at the sea
Let's talk about famous ship captains
Oh, no
Yeah, Captain Smith of the SS Titanic
Oh, really?
Yeah
Okay, all right
The doomed maiden voyage
Yeah, I feel like all famous captains are just famous because they were bad
No, that's not everybody
Who's so famous that he's...
You know that captain that just was on a thousand voyages and nothing ever happened?
Jack Sparrow
Is he real though?
Well, let's not give away future names
All right, Captain Smith of the SS
What is the doomed?
What does SS stand for?
Like SS this, SS that
It's like, it's such a ship
Oh, so it's such a ship Titanic
It was such a ship?
Yeah, it's smart that they make it
Or maybe it stands for seasick
Ooh, seasick Titanic
Yeah
People on the Titanic got so seasick they died
Yeah, and then it hit an iceberg
I was so sick of the sea that it froze me and I died in it and I drowned there
That's how Titanic ended, I think
Jack ended up being so queasy that he froze to death
He died of seasickness
Technically true
I have a thermia brought on by the sea
It's kind of a lame way to go, don't you think?
He did puke
He did probably vomit
All right
Hey guys
What's up?
Thanks for doing what you do
I have a, oh wait, this is a lady
It could be a lady captain named Smith
Yeah
Yeah, okay, a lady captain named Smith writes
So I've had sexual tension with this kid I went to high school and college with
And last year we finally had sex
It was awesome
But it was definitely a one-time thing because he was about to join the Marine Corps
Since then I moved to Wyoming and started dating a haughty cowboy
But the other day I got a letter from my past flame from his training camp in the Marines
The letter started out nice but then got more and more explicit
And eventually he asked if I could write something hot back
The more steamy the better
Though I want to engage in this snail male sex, support America's troops, etc
I really don't think my new boyfriend would be that pumped
If he knew anything about it
How do I let this Marine haughty down without being a total buzzkill?
Poor kid's pride is trying to spice up training camp
But he knows about my boyfriend and doesn't seem to care
Thanks, love S.S. Titanic's female captain Smith
I was on this dude's side
I thought this girl was a traitor to our country
Oh my god
Right up until the point where she said he knows about the boyfriend
And now?
Now he's a traitor
Oh
He's a Benedict Arnold
And a Benedict Cumberbatch
He's also an ex-Benedict
Yep
He's everything
Uh, is he?
He's actually Benedict
Two?
Two
This girl's boyfriend
This girl's suaveo ranchero
First of all, Mazel tov to this girl from going on an army man to a cowboy
You are a patriot
You are an American
She just has one blue blood to another
She just has a bone of fireman for the American trifecta
Uh huh
Uh, sexually
Another trifecta is when you fucking eagle
A bald one
Uh, steamy letters is almost the lowest form of cheating
It's like fiction, because it's so removed
You write a letter and you send it off to someone
I think it's the kind of cheating where it's like
It doesn't matter to you
Right, it doesn't affect that guy
I mean, even like if it tingles her loins a little bit
That's not really a big deal
But it's like the kind of cheating where it would really hurt the cowboy
So that's why you can't do it
It's not like a
But doesn't it seem for whatever reason more tame than an email?
Um, no, I don't think so
It seems way more intimate
Because she's actually hand, has to hand write it
Sitting down and handwriting it
But what if, what if she got a friend to write it for her?
Is that still cheating?
I think she should be explicit
Because otherwise, if she just has a friend write it for her
And he thinks it's her
Then he's still gonna write these letters back
And she's gonna be reading them
And it's like, oh my dick's so hard for you
And it's like, she shouldn't be receiving those letters
She shouldn't be writing them with that type of cheatery energy
Right
I think she should say
I have a boyfriend so I can't write that
But I have this friend who wrote it for you
Or something like that
Okay, so let's say a friend wrote it for her
I went out to penthouse.com and I pulled this hot story
Yeah
So here you go
Is it to, but is that to remove for this guy to get off?
I don't know, I think that he's not, he can't ask for this letter
Because she has a boyfriend
But it's all fiction
It's not real
Yeah, but would you like it if you're
I would love it
Of course I would
My girlfriend's creative writing, getting a guy off
That means she's a good writer
Who's gonna go and then go fight for our country?
Yeah, I think that's pretty good
You also, I think you want all our soldiers to have as much testosterone
Coursing through their veins as possible
Oh, it's good
Let's keep their ejaculate inside them
They'll be tougher, stronger, faster
Support his troops
His little boys, his men at work
So what would you suggest for this girl to do?
I think she could write back and say
I have a boyfriend so I can't be engaging in this kind of letter
But I think it's awesome what you're doing
And I hope, I wish you the best
If you want some steamy correspondence
You should talk to my friend so and so
Yeah, the cowboy
Yeah
What if she just writes a story
That's not necessarily about fucking this military guy
She just writes a short story about fucking the cowboy
I'm not saying any of it's mad
And sends it to the military guy
She writes a story about fucking the cowboy
Yeah
I guess he wouldn't be able to get mad
Yeah, because it's a story
What is this?
Oh, it's a story about us that you sent
Okay
Cool
Why am I wearing a cowboy hat in it?
Okay
So what can she do other than leave him high and dry?
High and limp
I'm suggesting that's what she do
I'm suggesting she writes something
And tells the cowboy about it
So it's not like complete cheating
It's like I'm gonna write a steamy story
And it happens to be two people fucking
He's gonna think it's about me
Don't worry, I'd rather be with you
I just want to support our troops
And if you don't get that, you're not an American
Give me that hat
Give me that lasso, baby
I agree to disagree vehemently
That sounds like the absolute worst of every world
No, isn't the worst
No, because at least the secret one
The cowboy doesn't get mad
He has nothing to be mad about
But like it will turn into a thing
If you go to him and you're like
Oh, so this guy I slept with is writing me steamy letters
And I'm gonna write him one back, but don't worry
Yeah, don't worry
It's just a letter
No
It's a short story
You can't fucking talk about it like that
It's fiction, relax
How did he get our fucking address, baby?
We moved to Wyoming to avoid shit like this
So yeah, that's what I would do if I were you
Alright, and you already know what I would do
Take my advice
Not with a grain of salt
But Jake's advice with a grain of salt
Yeah, okay
We need another captain's question
For this other military
This is sort of a military themed episode of sorts
Cool
So can you give me another captain's name?
Captain Phillips
Once again, female
A female captain Phillips
writes
I'm in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend
Who is stationed in the military
I'm visiting him for his birthday
And I've decided that in lieu of a tangible gift
His birthday present will be a knight of anal
He's always sort of hinted that he wanted to try anal
And I've always been curious
But he has a really big penis
So I thought it might be a bad idea to get his hopes up
Anyway, my question is this
How do you present anal sex as a present?
I guess this is a question for Jake, come to think of it
Do I just turn around and stick my ass out?
Do I pop out my butt plug and say, ta-da
Please help me out, guys
I'm just trying to be sexy
His birthday is October 21st
So if there's any way to answer before then
I'd appreciate it
Thanks, Captain Phillips
Phillips
Captain Phillips is going to be filled up
The correct answer was to say ta-da
It was the butt plug one
It is hard to present a sexy gift
No, it's not
Isn't it?
No
It's like, I got you something
Oh, what is it?
Anal
Do you say it?
I don't think you should say anal
Because anal's not that hot of a word, really
I think you should say like
I'm thinking about this
And I want you to stick it in my ass
I want you to put it in my ass
So you just say, no card?
I don't think you need a card
What about a card that says on your special day
Da-da-da
And then he opens it and it just says anal
Well, what if it's just a card that says on your special day
And he opens it and there's a cut-out
Oh
Of a circle on the back
Yeah, and you pull your pants down
And you put your sphincter right in the middle of the hole
Yeah, you match up the circular opening
With your brown eye
I think it's good to write to just be like
Koi about it
Like, I got you something
If it's not a card, it's not like
You can let him know that it's going to be
Some type of sexual experience
Yeah
And then when it's
And then, like, as it's coming
Then you just say, I want you to put it in my butt
And that's the hottest way you can say it, I think
I mean, if he's interested, like
It doesn't matter how you wrap this gift
Yeah, like, it's so awesome to hear
It doesn't matter the way you say it
It will be really exciting
If that's what he's into
Yeah
Secretly, if he's hinting at it, if he wants it
She could give him an empty pizza box
And when he opens it, it says anal in, like, grease
On the box
And that would still be fine
Yeah, because you would forget about the way you presented it
Yeah
And only remember the fact that it happened
You can't present anal so poorly to a guy that wants anal
That he won't want to have anal anymore
Yeah
But he still gets to have anal
You're not interested in anal at all
No, I wouldn't want to
So if a girl was like, I got you something special for your birthday
I'd be like, oh, sweet, is it like an Xbox?
No, it's anal
It was that
Is that the new Nintendo?
All right, so you are
You're a moron
You think Nintendo would market a new product as anal?
Come on, that wouldn't pass FCC regulations
Yeah, I don't know what I would be like
I'd be like, oh
Would you do it?
The real question is would I give it to a girl that really wanted it for her birthday?
Right
I guess I would try it
It is still sex
But
Pun intended
But
How does it work? Is it just the same as regular sex?
Or do you have to like really work on it?
I think it depends
It depends on a lot of stuff
But if it's your first time
You don't just like slip it in and
You know
Yeah, it's not like regular sex
It's not big and as comfortable as a vagina
It's a long process
But it feels like a real victory once it's there, you know
Right, and you can get all the way in as a vagina, could?
Yes, I mean not all the time because it's so small
Of course
So you really have to work on it and sometimes it's uncomfortable
Yeah
Sometimes you don't want to get to that point where it's all the way in but you can
I don't want to gift that
Have you ever seen anal porn before?
But those girls are not regular girls
Those are not girls trying to get in for the first time
Oh yeah, I think the first time it's probably less likely that it gets all the way in
And you might get all the way in but like
Even if you get all the way in, you can't like
Get all the way in and just like, you know
Fuck away at it, it's like still
Yeah, easing in
I guess it's like the equivalent of having sex for the first time
Yeah, probably
Like losing an anal virginity
Right
The other problem is that like, he'll be so turned on that his big dick is going to be even bigger
That's going to be a throbbing erection
Yeah
Oh, I wish I could be there
You should
I'd love to see it happen, Mr. Military Man
Uh, I guess if your penis is smaller than the shits you've taken
Then you could fit that size
Yeah, it's a muscle, it'll stretch
Yeah
Although poop is probably more malleable
Right, I wouldn't say poop is the equivalent of a dick in any way
But it is, it does give you a good indication of how wide you can open that butthole
I feel like we're not qualified to be talking about like how wide buttholes open
I think the thickness of your shit is exactly a maximum size your butthole can stretch
Because otherwise it would be bigger and it stretches to the maximum butthole size
It doesn't stretch to the maximum size when you take a shit, it just stretches to an appropriate size
No, it's like a ball of clay
It's like a grapefruit of clay and then you shove it through an opening and the thickness of the tube of shit
Is that what the shit looks like inside your stomach?
Yeah, I don't think it's a grapefruit
I bet so
It squeezes out
Yeah, I don't think it's shaped like shit until your anus shapes it like a sphere
Right, but I think that like that muscle contracts as much as it possibly can through that process
It's not like you're spreading your ass as wide as it needs to be
I think the shit spreads it as wide as it can go
You can get something wider than shit inside your butthole
I could eventually put my whole fist in your asshole and your asshole doesn't stretch to the size of my fist when it opens
Oh, you think you can get your fist in my asshole?
Yes, of course
Alright, this is... let's do it
Let's fucking do this
Give me that tub of lube
Alright
Good thing we keep it near here, always the tub, the industrial grade tub of lube
You do make a good point
Thank you
I would say the anus doesn't stretch to maximum
But it does give you a good indication of what comfortable maximum is
I guess maybe that's true
Thoughts?
I just gave them
So...
Your way of... oh, right, how do you present anal as a gift?
There's no wrong way
There's no wrong way to give an anal
There's wrong way to give an anal
There's no wrong way to present anal
That's actually a good idea if you give them a rhesus
And you say there's no wrong way to give an anal
And then he's like, excuse me, and I... and she says, it's a meme
That might be the only wrong way to do it
I'm no longer hard for you or anal
After that weird rhesus pieces based joke
Okay, relax, Captain Phillips
You're good to go regardless
Stand tall
Or what do they say in the Marines?
What's the stand tall equivalent?
Hoorah
Yeah, hoorah
That'd be good, a nice way to say it too
Or while he's in you, you say hoorah
That's cool
That's actually cool
Semper fi
I think we need another female question who's asking about her military man
Okay, let's go with Captain
Ron
Mia Ham
Captain of the US Ladies Soccer Team in
2000
Very good
I think you did specify sea captains
No, I think it was like 98 or something
You're talking about the one where Brandi Chastain scored the game winning goal
And she took off her shirt in celebration
I thought that was Mia Ham that did that
Oh no, that was Chastain
That was Jessica Chastain
No, Brandi Chastain
From Zero Dark 30
Okay, Captain Mia Ham
Who's also a seafaring captain actually
Amazingly
Here's my problem, my husband is in the military
And gone for long periods of time
We are completely loyal to each other
While he's away and he watches a lot of porn
Which I am totally okay with
I watch it too
My problem is that when he comes back home for months of being away
All I want to do is have romantic I haven't seen you in forever sex
And all he wants to do is first try some of this new hardcore fuck move
That he saw in a porn video while he was away
Don't get me wrong
I'm into trying new things
But after not seeing him for months
I don't want to dive into some twisted perverted depraved sex fantasy
What should I do to get him to want to have romantic sex?
Sincerely, Mia Ham
It's so refreshing reading female answer questions
They're all nice
How do I give this guy a great present?
How do I tell him I want him to fuck me in a way that's nice?
And all the guy questions we get are like
My cum receptacle is an acting right?
How do I just really kick her butt into shape?
For shame
For shame
Men
So what can she do?
It's really tough
Cause you know
He's the one that's like away fighting a war
Or you know training or you know
Being in the military
It feels like he is the one that is going through more of a hardship
But that's not necessarily true
Because she's also going through a hardship at home
So I wonder if she feels
A different kind of hardship
Right, I wonder if he feels entitled in any way to come back and be like
Alright, I'm like pent up, I need to fuck
Yeah, like he has to go from zero to a hundred
He can't contain himself
So maybe is it like just to do that one night of like crazy fuck sex
And like let him get it out of his system
And then just realize that like the next time will be for you
Or maybe like
Yeah, you guys can alternate
Evan Flow saying like
But I also wonder, I think if you just told him
I love doing that new stuff
But like when you come back
I think you just, you gotta just say it
Especially if it's your husband and he's like
And this is going to be something that recurs often
Yeah
It feels like he needs to at least hear your opinion
And adjust
Because right now he has no idea that that is your opinion
I think, I'm sorry I'm talking so much, I haven't stopped
But here's my last thought on it
He might think that like trying this new fuck thing is something that you look forward to
He might think that when he's coming back
And you guys get to have this like raunchy crazy porno sex
That it's like something you love
And that's what makes him love it as well
I bet he would really like to know if there's a way you would rather be fucked
And then he could do that
And do it that way
And then like, because I think it's hot to get somebody turned on
Like I would rather than like fuck really really hard or something
I would rather fuck somebody the way they want to be fucked
Right, regardless of what it is to you
The best thing for you is to make them feel the best
Right, the best feeling I have during sex is somebody else really enjoying it
Yeah
Because I'm like, I'm an energy matcher
So the ultimate would be if they liked it exactly like you liked it
That way they're liking it and you're liking it
But I'm also such a chameleon, I don't even know what I like
You're an emotional chameleon
Yeah
You can change your opinion and it's not, I noticed once, it's not disingenuous
You actually just feel different things
I know, I just, I really come
You're not lying
I can tap into any part of me
Yeah
When did you notice it?
When you talk to strangers, they can just say whatever and you're like, yeah, totally
And I'm like, that's not true, you don't think that
But maybe you do for that split second
You're lying to yourself
For a split second
Yeah
Like if somebody, how much would someone have to, like how negative, how opposite to someone's, to your true feelings must someone be for you to be like
I actually don't think that way
I think when they're like racist or something
Yeah, when they're mean spirited
It happened when I was at that dog place the other day
I was like, you know, I agree with everything that everyone's saying
And then some dude was like, he said something racist about Mexican people
And I didn't, I wasn't like a good enough person to stand and be like, hey, you watched that
But I just didn't say anything
That's your equivalent
I was like, shut down
Like, huh
We have to stop talking
I can't disagree, but I also can't agree with that
I have to excuse myself
And excuse you
Otherwise you've made me racist by association
Here's the best way to achieve gender equality
Is an Excel spreadsheet or a Google doc
In which you alternate each way you like to have sex
To ensure that there's at least as close to a 50-50 split as possible
Obviously if there's an ebb and flow and sometimes he's reaching 52, 55%
And you're at 48, 45%
That's gonna happen
But ideally you want to keep track of every time you have sex
Who's getting maximum pleasure
What's hotter than a spreadsheet?
Not spread legs
I'd like to spread you on my sheets
I excel at Excel and let's exhale as we both come simultaneously
I'm waiting to excel
I think that makes sense, but that's also presuming that they don't like the same thing
I think they will probably enjoy most of all to have a mutually beneficial sexual experience
And all that's happened right now is that she's expressed her opinions to me and you
Yeah
To be fair, I am married to this woman so she's very passively telling her quote-unquote husband
I do not know you're in the military, that's cool
Yeah, Semper, absolutely Semper-5 for that
Very, very fine
Very, very fine
Very Semper, very fine
A high five, to be sure
Yeah, I guess you have to tell him and then see how he acts accordingly
I don't think he'll be offended
Especially if you offer him what he wants just not right away
You say, oh, I like this at first and then this later
He's not gonna be like, no!
Well, I guess everybody-
I'm gonna fuck you as hard as I need to
I guess anything can happen
I've been at basic
I've seen some pretty depressing movies in which guys act bad
So that's not out of the realm of possibilities
It's so weird, they don't deserve to have wives
You're mean to your wife that you don't get one
This is why you can't have nice wives
Oh, what was I gonna say?
Oh, yeah, porn sex, that's not real sex, is it?
I think, I mean, it's real sex, they're definitely having sex
But is there a movement in pornography where it's real?
I'm sure
Like a guy pumping silently for two minutes and then prematurely ejaculating
Is there like that style of porn?
Like, oh, I want to see like a nerd-
Yeah, yeah, there's every type of porn
You could definitely see that like premature ejaculation porn, 100%
It's funny that like, who gets off to that?
Is it people who do have premature ejaculation?
People get off to shame porn, for sure
Like a guy coming before
Well, yeah, there's something called jerk-off encouragement
Which is like a girl looking into a camera saying like
Oh, yeah, come, that's what I want you to do
Jerk-off, yeah, your dick looks so big
I want it, imagine it's in my pussy
Mom, you stop listening
And actually, I'm sorry, you can keep on listening
I just, I flubbed that, mama, I love you
You're my mama, yay, mommy, sorry
Anyway, another type of shame porn
But then there's also the type of like, and people can get off to that
I can see that, I understand that
But then there's also that exact same type of porn, jerk-off encouragement
Except where the girl is like, oh, what is that?
You call that a dick?
Like, oh, go ahead, yeah, you can finish
Wow, that's as big as it gets
I don't want that, it's mean to you porn
People like it, there's that type of porn
Real life is already mean enough to me
I don't need my fantasies to be meaner than reality
Doesn't Jeff Rubin say if it exists there's a porn for it?
Yeah, well that's like a famous internet
It's like Rule 54 or something
Where it's like, if there, if something exists there's a porn related to it
Yeah, a premature ejaculation porn
Like a guy and a girl making out and the guy just starts coming in his khakis
Yeah, probably
That's awesome
What should I search? Coming in khakis, both with a K
Premature ejaculation porn
Coming in khakis, I think you could probably do a tag premature ejaculation porn khakis
They're probably dry sex, right? Like underwear on
100% there is
Tight
Alright, cool, so we're learning stuff
So you could, maybe, I mean that's another less direct option if you're into that
You could send him more like
Girlfriend experience porn
Yeah
And then it's a little, it's a little more intimate, not just like
Outimate
Yeah, yeah
Not out to me, intimate
Well, let's take a break

Thank you, Squarespace
And we're back
Oh, quick
In real time, that was two seconds
Holy shit
Lock-ass time?
Who knows?
An hour?
An hour and a half
We gotta pay a lot of money for an hour long ad
We should do an ad once
That's just an hour
Just
Yeah, just a sort of a
Not a middle finger to our fans
But definitely a ring or an index
And a thumbs up to the advertising world
Would an advertiser like that
If we're like
We'll give you an hour long ad
That'll piss people off
Oh, they'd be like
No, we don't want to piss you off
I bet you could
I mean, there's probably different brands
That would be like
I don't want you to do that
And then there's some that would just be like
That sounds good
Yeah
Or there's some that are like
Ooh, watch out
There are some that are so self-aware
That like
Even negativeness is good
It's good publicity
If people are hate talking about our product
Yeah, so we can probably get somebody to do it
Alright, so the next episode
We'll do that
I'm thinkin' me undies are nature box
Squarespace, actually
Oddly enough
What else should we reference?
Is there anything that we haven't spoken about
That we wanted to talk about for a break?
Insomnia?
You have it
Yeah
How is that fair?
Why do I deserve that?
That's really funny
After 31 years of sleepin' good
Now two nights and 10 days
I go to bed and I can't sleep
Until like 3 AM
Yeah
Why?
Am I jet lag after a month?
The two theories that we discussed were
Number one
Too much sleep the night before
Too much sleep the night before
What am I gonna do?
Does not ever sleep a lot?
I can't adjust that
Right
I need maximum sleep
Well then I think the other thing
Is looking at your phone before bed
I think you need to turn off electronics
At least 30 minutes before you go to sleep
But that would make sense
If it were those two occasions and never again
But like if I'm looking at my phone
10-15 minutes before sleep
Every night
Then it doesn't explain it
So give me my frickin' phone back
I took it
There is a lot of theories about disconnecting
Like forcing yourself to disconnect
Yeah
That's like my app idea, shame
Oh that's true
Every time you load Instagram, Twitter
Or Facebook on your phone
It keeps track of it
Then it emails you at the end of the day
Like you loaded Facebook 71 times today
And you're like oh I'm a loser for that
You loaded Instagram 63 times
20 of those times it was the same
Like picture at the top
You refreshed it more than people could take photos
And then I think it should also
This is how many people died in Iraq today
Yeah
It puts things in, there's called perspective mode
It's called shame perspective
Oh then you have an idea of where it's public
If it's a certain number it's just posted
So you're like at 75 for 24 hours
It'll like tweet
Hi I looked at Instagram 79 times today
Sponsored by the Shame app
Four times in 30 minutes once
That was my hot streak
You've attained addict status
You've attained loser status
Yeah it gives you prizes to make you feel bad about yourself
Like congrats you get the Instagram gold batch
100 reloads in a day
You also loaded Google news once
You loser
You meanie
You didn't donate to this charity, this charity or this one
Yeah is there any IOS developers who are like listening
Like I could probably do that in a day
We should just do it
Yeah that'd be really fun
Shame app
I like the idea of saying like also listing
You make it like actual into something nice
Instead of just doing like
This is how many people died or whatever you should do
Yeah
And this is a charity you donated $0 to
Charities could sign up for it
If you feel bad enough you're a final
I'll donate $5
You've wasted an hour and sixty
Not an hour and sixty three
An hour and fifty three minutes on Facebook and Twitter today
And spent zero money, zero time or money helping people out
You reloaded Instagram for thirty straight minutes
And you spent zero minutes volunteering at this nearby soup kitchen
Just keeping you posted a breast of your daily digest
Shame app out
There we go
Shame app
Let's do it
If I were you show at gmail.com
Once again crowd sourcing our talented fans
Who are better than us at stuff
Please
Cause we have thoughts
We just don't have
Follow through
Yeah ability to do anything with those thoughts
Like I can say funny
I'm not gonna do shit
I can say funny I'm not gonna do shit
That's a great title for your memoir
That's my tombstone
It's funny cause it's wrong
I can't say funny anymore
I can't do shit
Last question
Last one
Alright the fourth military based question
Oh this one actually comes from a guy
This one comes from a guy
So he can use a captain who's a male in real life
Captain Ahab
I didn't get to say one
Oh sorry I thought you were surprised when I said one captain earlier
So I just assumed you didn't know me
Well now I thought of one
Who?
Skipper
He was brave and sure
To be sure
And to be brave
Skipper it is
Alan Hale writes
Hey guys I don't often use dating sites
But I did just for giggles one time
A girl sent me her number
Keep in mind I'm 21 and she's 29
I saw her profile pic and she isn't the most beautiful girl in the world
Go ahead call me a dick
Okay I still call her
So we talk for a while and she and I are nothing alike
Here's a list of things
She's scared of snakes and spiders
She is poor
She has no friends other than her 16 year old roommate
She doesn't drive
She has acne
She barely has a job
She just had a birthday and she made herself a cake
Then she tells me she has a military boyfriend
And just wants to be my friend
Minutes later she tells me she likes me
She playing hard to get or something?
The fuck
Should I give her a chance?
I mean I want an animal lover
There's just so many things wrong with her
I want to be nice to her but I need your opinion
Skipper, brave and sure
What is his life?
What does he do?
I want to know what you had for lunch today
For lunch I had a bag
And a ham
I slept at the foot of my bed last night
I woke up, put a shoe on my head
And tried to get on the bus by giving the bus driver a nickel
He said it cost two dollars
I gave him a bag of baby carrots
I got off in between stops and I rolled home
I did some results home
Everything is sort of correct but a little bit weird in my universe
You had a funny line when I read you this email originally
Which is you are no
You are no
That's what you are sir
Sorry man, you are no
Unfortunately as it stands right now after reading your email
You're no
What's the funniest part
Here's a list of things, it's pretty good
That's great
Is she playing hard to get?
I'm trying to dissect this because I definitely won in
The fuck?
I love that he's concerned that she's afraid of spiders and snakes
Because he wants an animal lover
I want an animal lover that loves so many animals
They love spiders
You don't like her in any way
And you're still wondering
You need our opinion if you should pursue it
I think maybe go for a girl that checks a single check box
She has nothing that you like
She's over 30
I think you can find one
But keep in mind she's 29
We're not worried about the age
She's too old, she's poor, she has acne, she has a boyfriend
More than anything she has a boyfriend
To be clear some of these are not necessarily bad
Some people are poor and that's fine
And having acne is fine too
Some people barely have a job
It's weird that he thinks every single thing about her is negative and then is still interested
Here's a list of things
John Quincy Adams had arthritis
She is poor
If I step on a blender it hurts my feet
She barely has a job
Eggs
Eggs are technically a thing
So Skipper
Don't be nice to her
Don't be nice to her?
Sorry, so Skipper
Be nice to her
Don't pursue her romantically
You can find a 24 year old who has all these negative attributes
And at least you guys are closer in age
Just stop corresponding with her
There's no need to do it
I also thought this was a fake email
And then he's like I attached a photo of this girl
And this picture is so real
That there's no way this email is fake
Let me see
I'm not gonna post it but I'll show it to you
That's exactly who that should be
It's just such a real photo
It's taken like on a webcam
It's not nicely lit
Yeah
It's just a real photo
That is a
Definitely just a poster
That she bought of the Eiffel Tower
Like we know you haven't been to Paris
He uses poster gum
Oh no
But that's people man
Not everybody is like us
There are people who are normal
And they have jobs kind of
Not everyone is a famous and cool
Unfortunately for y'all
We are so peace out mother fuckers
I'm gonna go fly in a helicopter
We're alone in a room
What?
Me and you
We're building each other up
We're alone in a room
Floating on a rock
For what?
We make each other happy
For why?
But at what cost
That's it
I wish this episode came out on Veterans Day
Or something cool like that
They would give us a reason
For this theme
But alas
Actually you know what
I think there is a random holiday
The day this episode comes out
Yeah
This is Monday October 13th
It's Columbus Day
It's pretty good
Who was a sailor
Who was a captain
Wow
That's really
That's fortuitous
And I just also want to mention
There is in a day
That we shouldn't celebrate
Our veterans and fallen heroes
And active heroes
And those MIA
Absolutely
And can I also mention
That I think females
We don't even have to talk about
Gender Equality
Because they are equal
They are equal
It's like for me to say
We should have a
We should have a movement to say
That you can sit on chairs
And you just do
You just do
You just
It's completely
And can I also add
Sure
That I support ISIS
Whoa
Oh my God
You
Holy shit
About faced
That's what I was looking for earlier
If you have your own questions
That are not necessarily
Military themed
Or otherwise
Please email to

We begin
And end
With an original song
Written for us
By our talented fans
That opening one
Was from Audrey Scott
Of the band 6C
And this last one
Is from a person named
Once I find it
It will be clear
Who it is
And that is
Because it was written by
Evan
Who wrote a
Foo Fighters parody
For us
Very nice
And please
Keep the thumbnails coming
There's a lot of talented artists out there
Just to be really nerdy
And technical about it
The ideal ratio
Resolution is 600 by 315
How's that for pedantic
How's that for dry
That's a great note to end on
Please
When you submit your thumbnails
200, 600 by 315
Toadah everybody
And thanks for listening
We're out
Hello
Welcome to
If I were you
What can I show
That you can get a mirror
In my head
In my head
In my ear
And I wonder
When I write it
When I write it into you
Only what you think
You're not going to solve it
And answer it
You only call me out
On a Thursday
Last
I don't think I'd ever ask you
Is too much of a man of
Emotions
It's a good thing you come
To me
That you're a dude
Yeah
You're a mean dude
But think about where
This is coming
You make up both nights
In Montreal
Like hoping that he didn't die
It's been a minute
Since we were put on last
Actually
It's been more than a minute
It's a good day
With relatable stories
Of 9 to 5 life
KFC Radio is like
Every drunken guy's conversation
With his friends
But with me
And your favorite other
Barstool personalities
