Steven Mills
Two, she wants to be in the middle song
Back to back episode
Very fortuitous
Very, very, thank you to, yeah
Alex Sexton was the last weeks
And Steven Mills was this one
It's a catchy tune, I guess
Here comes Jake taking another piss
Here he comes
Ladies and gentlemen
Ladies and gentlemen, you know him
You love him, denim on top and denim on bottom
A song devised by Brian Husky from the UCB
My socks are denim, my shoes are denim
Here we go, baby
They don't call him the denim bandit
Because you don't, oh god
Someone to the phone, to the door
You gonna get it, Jake?
We can keep rollin'
Alright, let's keep rollin', Jake's gonna get the door
Alright, let's just get started
This is If I Were You
The only advice podcast on the internet
Hosted by Ben, I'm Amir, I'm Josh
Well, not hosted by me, you said hosted by Ben
Oh, we're gonna leave the microphones here
Why didn't it take over?
It's sort of a baton passing
Oh, I would change the show totally then
I'd change the whole format
Everybody's in it, you guys would never be allowed on it
You would just talk about drumming
Yeah, can you put a cap on that?
Look how close you are to hitting it over
I'm not that close to it
Are you crazy?
You're playin' with the devil
You're playin' with...
Fire?
Yeah, playin' with fire
Ben was on our last episode
It ran a little long, so we're gonna make it a two-parter
Two-parter
Giant
Harmony
That would be three-part harmony, but it's fine
I wanted to do it
I wanna be in the middle
Okay, I got a couple questions for you guys
Oh, yeah, sure
Wait, let me ask a question
That'll set us off on a journey
An impressive journey
We need a guy's name
By the way, we're supposed to write today
Three of us are supposed to write today
Because we're doing this for two hours of change
There's no way we're gonna write today
And the guy's name is...
It's a guy?
It's a guy
You know him
You love him
Michael
Booblies
Any relation?
To who?
To Donovan Booblies
Ready?
Quick question, if you don't mind
Sure
How big is your TV at home?
Thought you were gonna say penis
Nice
Do you guys talk about penis size and everything?
What was the article recently that like announced
the average male dick size?
What is it?
It's actually a little less than five and a half
Really?
In America
I think between five and a half and six or something
No, I think five and a half is the like universal
or is the world average
and in America it's actually a little less than five and a half
Why do Americans have smaller penises in the world?
Hold on, let me ask Siri
Go, do it, see what she says
Oh, she says go fuck yourself
That's the first question, dude
Come on, stop wasting time
Sure
Hey, guys
I saw a cut to the chase
My girlfriend and I are leaving for college soon
and I love this girl
and I can't see myself without her
She's an actor, which is awesome
Then we had the discussion about her being in a role
where she will have to kiss somebody else
I'm the only guy she's ever done anything with
and this makes me even more against her being in that role
What bothers me more is that kissing her
is something that I only see myself doing
It's that small intimate thing that is special to me
and I feel like a shitty boyfriend
every time I think like this
but I don't think it should be something I have to share
What bothers me more is just that
she doesn't seem to care about kissing another guy
and then I'm the bad guy
but am I really that bad if I just don't want her to kiss somebody else
or make out with strangers on stage
in front of a bunch of other strangers
when she doesn't even do that with me in front of people
I want to be able to just nip this in the bud
and be a better boyfriend
but I think I find it hard to...
Nip it in the bud? Is that true? That's the phrase?
Yeah
Nip it in the bud
I feel like you nip it in the bud
before it blooms
Oh wow, I've been saying that wrong the whole time
I just want to nip this in the bud and be a better boyfriend
but I find it hard to watch my girlfriend
make out with some dude
then be expected to clap afterwards
Obviously, I'm an extremely jealous boyfriend
so that definitely adds to the issue as well
but still, what do I do? Help, please
This guy went off the rails as he was writing this email
He got angry and angry
Amir read it like that as well
That was my decision
So what's the deal with this guy?
You acted in a way that led us to interpret this exact same way
What's the deal with this guy?
I mean, what does he have to do?
Should he be upset that his girlfriend is making out with a boy?
This is how Ben's going to host the episode in a while
I've never seen you do an impression
That's not part of your comedy thing
I can do an impression of the woodchuck in Full House
Yeah, let's hear it
Ready?
Wow, how does that come out of your mouth?
It's also Smeagol from Lord of the Rings
Guilty little hobbits
Little hobbits
That's so bizarre
What else can I do? I used to be able to do a couple
Not very well
I've been on a cartoon for like three years
Randy Cunningham
I do the great Randy Cunningham, 9th Grand Ninja
Whoever watches
Yeah, 100 episodes, two seasons
Jesus Christ
Isn't that crazy?
How many times have you guys been on the show?
Zero, you're going to have us
She wants to be in the middle
We knock on the trailer wall and door and you just never let us in
It's hilarious that you think voiceovers have trailers
So let's talk about this
Sure
But before I cast you a question
Sure
No
Dating an actress who has to kiss another guy
This is the problem
And it's going to be a problem forever, unfortunately, if you date an actress
She is going to have roles, especially if she's a female
That she's going to have to kiss the opposite sex
And it is very weird
And I have gone through that weirdness
And I don't, there's no other profession
Outside of pornography, I guess
But is there any other profession that you
And by the kissing is the lowest of it
I've had scenes where you have to have sex with women
And you're naked with them and stuff like that
Well, my dad's a tax lawyer and he's constantly
Where he's had to have sex or hook up with a secretary
That's not true
That's not true
And your dad listens to this, now he feels terrible
And that hung out with your whole family a couple of weeks ago
Yeah, he really wanted to
But I mean like Ben's saying it's not acting
It's the only profession where you have to kiss somebody
My dad had to
Wait, prove me wrong, children, prove me wrong, Seymour Skinner
Yeah
Prove me wrong
Prove me wrong, children
Prove me wrong
Prove me wrong and tell me, is there another profession?
That forces you to kiss somebody
Acting
A lip doctor
No
A real profession
Oh, CPR
A lifeguard
That's good
That's good, that's mouth to mouth I guess, you're right
That'd be funny
Doctors see each other naked, doctors see patients naked
Yeah
But imagine if you got pissed at your husband
The lifeguard for saving a life
Like you were making out with that chick
It was incredible
I saw the life come back into her eyes
Yeah, that's how hard you were kissing her
You were Frenching her
I like the other version of this is this
I've been waiting five years for that woman to choke on something
So I could kiss her
That's the saddest thing would be if the lady didn't make it
Yeah
Oh, so you
She's dead
Not yet, she's not
You kissed her to death
Oh, yeah, baby
You cheated on me with a corpse
Oh, baby
But I kissed a corpse so hard it came back to life
I like when you're a hero but so creepy, sir
My favorite part of this email is that he explains to us why it bothers him
As if we didn't know
What bothers me is that kissing her is something that I only see myself doing
It's a special little thing that I have
You think you invented kissing?
Is that what you think you did?
Don't tell anybody else
Because other people just start doing it
She's starting to bring this smash lip thing that we do
And turning it into a national phenomenon
He's also making her profession
It starts to be like she's going to get roles where she has to kiss people
And then he goes on to just sort of demean the entire idea of acting
Like she's going to kiss a stranger on stage in front of a bunch of other strangers
And I have to clap afterwards
The clap afterwards is hilarious
Like it's a good thing
Like I'm proud of her
Oh, you mean she booked a role she's excited about
A lot of people show up to her show and then people clap afterwards
That does sound really nice
Yeah, but at the same time she had to press her face
Also you're a freshman in college so you guys are definitely going to break up
If she's the only girl you've ever kissed
Don't worry about it
Of course, just yeah
Wish her godspeed on her journey and break up now
Ben, what's the farthest you've gone with a chick?
Off camera
One time I did Smash Mouth
What's that?
Where you take both your lips and you push them together and you go
With the guy from Smash Mouth
Yeah, you have to make out the guy from Smash Mouth
What's the most intense sexual thing you've done on camera?
I've done sex scenes
I've done making out
Sex? How does that work?
You're wearing underwear and so is she?
Well, it matters
It matters what type of production you're on
If you're on a show that's on something like she
My first sex scene ever, the woman who was gorgeous
Had something in her rider
She couldn't show her ass or vagina
So they couldn't show
My ass and vagina is right there
So they couldn't show my
Your vagina?
My vagina is right there
Oh my god
My ass and vagina is in the same space
So I was able to
She was wearing see-through
She was wearing like skin color panties
And I just wore like tidy whiteies
And rolled them up so like whatever
But in house a lot
But she was topless?
She was wearing a see-through bra
I don't think she let anybody look at her breasts here
But that was us going through the motions of sex
And showing like my chest and other things
But I've been naked
Fully naked?
No
And showtime
For showtime
I think they can show my ass
They have it
I don't know
But they make you wear this terrible thing
And it's called a modesty sock
I think
And what it is
It's like a little pouch
You know like when you're younger
And you have marbles
Yeah
But you know you put your penis in it too
You have to scrunch all your business together
And then you
So it's like you put it all in there
And you tie it up like marbles?
And tie up the top
Oh
So it can't
So it can't whatever
Oh
It's no fun
Oh
It is no fun
So you couldn't even get hard if you wanted to
No you can get hard
I'll break through the sack
You can break through the sack
Have you ever gotten hard, didn't you?
Absolutely
No
By the way
I've been so nervous about it
Because I've been
Very fortunate we're such lovely nice women
Are there
Who are also gorgeous
You know what I mean
So it's like
Have you ever had to grind against a topless woman?
Yes
She was on top of me
You're in this pouch
And she
No
That I was wearing my pants still
Oh
But she's grinding on you
The only time I wore that pouch
Was when there's a scene where I was naked
In the back of a car
So you had to look
I was totally naked
All the other ones
In like the beginning
So this year I have a couple sex scenes
But it's mostly the very beginning of it
Right before we started
So it's before it's like
Whatever
It's like
You like
You like
You like
You like
You like
You like
You like
You like
You like
Whatever you're comfortable with
Whatever you feel like
I will do
As
I want to make you as comfortable as possible
Make you feel like
This isn't a big thing
So if you want to just
No tongue
100%
No touching
Anything you wish
Would be totally fine
It's not not your decision to make
No it kind of
I've been on the show
We've been on the show for so long that
If the director's like
Yeah but you need to be
I was like
You know we'll sell it
Just if it makes her uncomfortable
It's crazy
If it makes her uncomfortable
There's no reason to make her feel
Then choose another job sweet hot
That's what you say every time
She says
Actually no tongue
So
You're fired
You bite into an onion
But there are actresses that are like
Let's do it
Like we would be
Let's do it
Like we would be doing
That's the art
And I agree
And by the way that
For the most part I believe is
The correct way of doing it
Does it ever
Do you ever feel connected or aroused
Or
Yes you do
There are sometimes where you
100%
It's by the way
It's the same with when you kiss
A woman in real life
There's sometimes where you like
Feel connected
And like oh my god
This girl is amazing at this
Is a great connection
To the crew around
I've never had sex scenes
I've never even had tongue kissing scenes
But like when I've had like
Smooch stuff
Or like fake make out
Oh wait I did
I did have a sex scene once
You had a fake out make out
I had a fake sex scene
Did you kiss the person
Yeah
But it was like
It was so
I don't know
I felt nothing
There wasn't like
Not even a
Yeah but that's what you do
When you're actually cheating
On your girlfriend
So that's not like a good indication
What about you Ben
What do you feel like
When you're kissing someone
In your relationship
I will say this is
If you've ever dated an actress before
It's weird
It's a weird feeling
That let's say
You care about someone
You kiss them
And you're like
Oh this week sometime
You have a sex scene with somebody
Or you have a
That girl has a
Make out scene with someone
It's weird
It is very weird
It's something that this guy
It's hard to get over
But he's obviously
He runs a little bit jealous
Regardless
But it's a tough thing
I don't know how to
Explain it
Because also like
It's so weird
Because then you can watch it
Also and you can watch that person
Make out
All those scenes that I'm making out
With those girls are on television
Or whatever
But you're an actor too
So like you have to
It seems like you have to be
I understand it totally
Yes yes yes
If you're like a random
Like a student or a plumber
And then you have to see
Your wife or girlfriend
Make out with another guy
This guy's also already
Really really jealous
Think about it
He's seething
And his girlfriend
Doesn't have a role
Where she has to kiss them
And by the way it may be
There's so many different
Types of kisses
It could just be like
A little peck
And it means nothing
But if it's like
There are scenes that we've done
Where it's like
You're all over me
I'm making out with her
And throwing her on a bed
Stuff like that
That's a totally different kissing
Scene than
I'll see you later
I'll see you later
Kiss and leave
Right and say goodbye
But it's a very weird thing
Because also
You want to try your best
To be in the moment
Like I learned from improv
And then I never really
Went through action school
I never went through action school
But for improv
You want to be in the moment
You want to say yes and
You want to make something
With someone else
Always in a scene
You want to like
The one we the three of us
Fuck or the one the three of us
Right
We play with each other
We play with each other's dicks
Yeah we play with each other's dicks
Any time we write
And then any time Jake comes
We're like
That's a good joke
The idea stick
The idea stick
Something's really funny
Only and so
Jake only comes in
There's own jokes by the way
So sad
But there is this weird moment
When you're like
Making out with someone
And then
If you're single by the way
It's gonna
If you're single
There's like
No you don't feel
As bad at all
You just don't feel as bad at all
But when you're
If let's say
You're going out with someone
And you're making out with someone
You just don't
You just don't feel so weird
You know what I mean
Does it feel weird to see
Or to be in that
Like are you feeling more weird
When you're making out
When you see your girlfriend
Making out
Do I
What's worse for you
The weirdest thing to see
Oh my god
If watching a girl
Watching a lady
Or something like that
Yeah of course
This scene
I don't know when this comes out
The worst thing I could imagine
Is being the guy
Having a girl be upset
Going making out
And then coming home
And then that first conversation
How was
How was set to
How was the scene
It was good
It was a fine day
But think about sex scenes
When the girl
I've had scenes where girls
Are totally naked in front of me
Totally naked
And wearing like a tiny
There's a little triangle
They put over their pubic region
That's the only thing
They have covering themselves
And what do they do
A modesty triangle
I forget what it's called
It's called something
I forget what it's called
I have an amazing story
I wonder if I can tell it
Oh my god
You can't do that
And then I
Alright there's a sex scene
And we're in Vegas
So by the way
Some of these make out
I don't know if anybody
Watches House of Lies on the show
But the last episode
Or I guess it'll be a couple
Of episodes by the time this airs
There's a girl that I have
A bunch of make out scenes with
She has a boyfriend in real life
She's so sweet
Such a great actress
Her name is Valerie Curry
And she was great in these scenes
You know what I mean
But she's amazing
Because at the same time
Her boyfriend was on set sometimes
On set
And he was never for them
Oh there was a kissing scene
He was on set for
Oh no no no
I don't know if we kissed
But like he was an actor also
So he knew it was going on
And stuff like that
She's like a pro and amazing
She was great at it
There are some people
That are a little bit more awkward
About it
There are some people that are not as
Or like I remember
I did a short film once
And it was just
She had never done a kissing scene before
And I made her as comfortable as possible
And everything
And it was just very
It was just very weird
Because you can tell how nervous she is
And when someone's kissing
They're nervous you can feel it
Right
And so you try to
I only feel that
I've never kissed a girl
Who's at ease
Really?
She's always like
Give me a situation where you're kissing someone
So like I'm on the end of a date
And it's going
Alright
As far as I'm concerned
It's going great
And she's probably not feeling it
And then at the end of the night
She's upset because I split the bill
A lot of times she's upset
She's upset
Yeah it's not mad or anything
She's upset
So what do you usually say
Do you say the while it's on the car
Do you say
What's your line
Why don't we get this out of the way now
Because I feel like
I don't want to have the first kiss later
Do you say that for real
And then she
I can feel the hair on her back stand
She's so disgusted by that
Right
This is like this
She almost
She's like pushing her shoulder blades together
In the back
Like that so much
Like a cat
Or someone spilled hot water down her back
It's like
Have you ever done that
Have you ever
By the way that line is extraordinary
Have you ever used that line
Because my question is
What happens if the girl
Doesn't want to make out with you
Like I want to see how this date goes
Oh you're talking about
Actually using that line
In real life
Oh that's actually the line from Annie Hall
It worked in Annie Hall
Oh right
What do you have
He picks up
He's like
Let's look at this over with that
Yes I remember that
No definitely not
Because you're a terrible person
Because
I think it's a terrible person thing to do
To say let's kiss now
Before you know me
What happens if I don't like you
Yeah it would be so crazy
Alright this is my crazy story
We're in Vegas
There's a scene where
There's a scene where
I'm having sex with
This is a scene obviously
I'm having sex with someone
Cheedles
John Cheedles the star of our show
John Cheedles having sex with someone
And another actor is having sex with someone
In the same room
And the move
The camera move is
I wonder if I've ever said this
Before
I'm sure it's fine
The camera move is from
Cheedle to the other person
And then you wipe across the room
And it's to me
Is it a special effect
Or are you guys actually
Fake doing it in the same
Cheedles completely naked
With the modesty shotgun
So you can see his ass
And everything in the shot also
The other guy totally
Naked with the modesty shotgun
And they're having sex with
These two gorgeous women by the way
And I'm having sex
With a beautiful woman as well
But I'm totally clothed
The joke was
I was having sex with her
Totally clothed
So I go up to the floor
And I say the same thing
I've said it with any person
And I was like
Tell me what you're comfortable with
I don't want to make you uncomfortable
And she laughs
And she goes
She goes
Baby listen to me
I'm a soft core porn actress
You could do whatever you want
Oh my god
And I'm like
And she's like
Are you nervous now
And I'm like
No no no
I'm gonna be fine
I'm gonna be fine
What is soft core
Versus regular porn
Soft core means
There's no penetration
But they simulate everything
So there's no actual penis and vagina
But it's like
It looks like there is
They're on top of each other
And all that stuff
What's the point of that
Because you can't show penetration
Skin to max
Remember all those things
Where kids
I don't know if it still exists
Now there's so much porn
I wonder if it does
But so
So I was like
I was like
Okay
Very nice woman
She's
I thought that's what you said
Okay very nice
Very nice woman
All right
Very nice
Yes
And it was
A Swedish girl
It was a Swedish woman
She was the Swedish woman
No no no
Cheeto had this Swedish woman
That kind of
Didn't speak total English
I had this beautiful
A black woman
And then there was
I forgot what
An Asian woman was
We had like
It was like
All different ethnicities
It was the UN
It was great
It was the UN
Of soft corpornal fucking everything
We were in Vegas
In a place that had windows
See through windows
And we were to have
The two people had sex
On them against the windows
So essentially
If you were looking in that day
You would have looked like
Don Cheeto
In this other person
We're fucking these two girls
Because the cameras are behind them
Yeah
So the camera move is this
I wonder if this is too graphic
Jake
I know your family listens to this
It's all right
Mama turn down the podcast
Love you bitch
Hey did you give
Did you give the Simpsons script
That I gave it to your family
Yes
Did you?
I gave it to my father
I thought I texted you
I did
I did give you one right
You gave me one to give to my dad
And I gave it to him
I texted you and I said
He loved it
All right good
That makes me happy
He does love it
All right good
I'm happy that I could talk about
Your father right in the middle
Of the sex story
Hi daddy
Hello daddy
I love your money father
So the move is
Cheeto
This other guy
And then me
And I'm having sex
And the whole idea is
She's on her back
And then that's why this is graphic
I apologize
But if you watch the episode
It's in there
And when the camera comes to me
I'm to flip her
So her head is over the top of the chair
And I'm to have sex with her from behind
Okay
And she goes beforehand
And she's totally naked off the bat
And she didn't want to wear the little piece
That covers
Cause she's like everybody's seen me
And I was like
I was like
Oh I was totally closed
So it didn't matter for me
And I was supposed to just like
Pretend to have sex with her
And when you're pretending to have sex
With someone
And you're wearing that little pouch
Or like you're wearing all your underwear
It's really hard
It's really scary and hard
Because it's like
Oh it's gonna be so hard to not get excited
But when you're fully clothed
It's a little bit easier
For a hundred different reasons
So the first take
She's like
You can do anything you want
Don't worry
I have another story
But I won't say
And so it goes
They go
We're gonna do the first one
So you guys don't have to pretend
To have sex with it
So it's cheeto
That camera move is cheeto
The hilarious scene
Is at the end of the party
And all of a sudden
We're just all having sex
Cheeto
The other guy
I see the camera coming
And in the meantime
I'm kind of in the background
And she is acting like
Hercules is fucking her
She's like
And so like
I had to catch up
My ferociousness and my sex
To meet the levels of
What she was throwing out there
It was so funny
And then the camera was on us
And so I flipped her over
And she was such a pro with it
Like the move was so sexy and cool
And then I'm having sex with her from behind
And she's so gorgeous
This beautiful black woman
In front of me
And I take her hair
And I pull her hair
As sometimes men do
When they're having sex
With women from behind
And she's wearing a weave
And the weave goes
And I pull it off her head
You pulled her hair off
So her hair was to the
Left side of her hair
And she did not break
And she was acting
Like Thor himself
And fucking her with his hammer
And she was like
And her hair was
Barely hanging on
And she's trying to fix
Her hair while having sex
And they finish the little scene
They go cut
And she cracks up
She laughs
I was like
Oh my god, she's going to kill me
She laughs up
She's like
Oh, I should have said
You could do anything but touch my hair
And I was like
I am
I apologize
I was so Jewish in that moment
I was like
I am so sorry
I am so sorry
Oh, gosh
I really apologize
Did they keep that take as a joke?
It exists somewhere
But they did not use that take
Wait, did that episode come out?
Season two
When we were in Vegas
Right
And literally it happens
Where they changed it to
I'm having sex with the guys
I'm having sex next to me
And we high five
Which is so stupid
But by the way, can I say
There's a scene
If anybody ever sees that episode
I don't remember what episode it's in
The scene right after that
The three of us were all hung over
Me, Cheeto, and this guy
We're doing business with
Are all hung over eating brunch
And it's an awesome scene
I remember Cheeto and I being like
That was a good one, man
Yeah
And anytime Cheeto even hints
That was better than shitty
Like he's like
Hey, that was good
I was like
Oh, baby
We were in Hotel Rwanda too
Hotel for dogs
Rwanda edition
He was in Hotel for dogs
As well, by the way
Oh, really?
Two hotel movies?
Yeah, two hotel movies
When they ask you to do stuff
That's like so cringe-worthy
Like high-fiving while having sex
Yeah
Do you ever like
Yeah, I'll say, yeah
You know what, I don't think that'll happen
But this, we're both hammered
And it was me
And my character was a real douchebag
At the time
And it was literally
The other guy's last name was
Dusken
So they were called the douchebag twins
And so like it was perfect
My character would do it for his character
Right
Because he wants it so bad
He wants that high-five so bad
And I'm trying to get his business
Yeah
That, of course, yeah
Same reason why we would all have sex
In the same room
There's no reason
We want to close the deal
Yeah
So that's why we all did it
Yeah
That's why you closed the deal
Oh
But that is my
That's the funniest sex story I've got
That's good
So
What about the funniest real sex story?
Sure, okay
So me, Cheetal, are having sex
In the same room in Vegas
No one else is in there
No one else is in there
We're both jerking off
To different types of porn
Him, Softcore
Him, Softcore
I'm jerking off to his Captain Planet videos
I'm funnier than that
I'm funnier than that
There's always fun
By the way
Oh, there's a great
There's a great beginning of a sex scene
This year between me and Valerie Carrey
Which is so sweet and lovely
And like I feel like kind of encompasses
What like sex scenes
Or what's like fun
If you like the person's sex
Can be like or start
Or stuff like that
And we're like laughing
And having fun
And it's kind of cute and sexy
And
Do you ever laugh while you're having sex?
For real?
La
You'll play
Not like
Laap
At the beginning when you're like kissing someone
Or like stuff like that
Right before those actual penetrations
Yeah
Yeah
When I'm having sex
Well like Jake
Everybody knows when you have sex
You sing the Lion King theme
At the beginning, right?
La
The pain
Yeah
To my pain
Yeah
Right in your
Right in your
That's good
That's good
Oh
Oh, try it
Try it
Try it, ready?
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Very close
All right
All right
Let's get a commercial
Yeah, it's actually a good timing
Let's actually do a commercial
We'll be right back with Ben Schwartz
Got the worst comment
Are you can't do it?
I've counted
Like four waters since I got here
Nope

Uh, alright
We're back
And you
The microphone
It's a very sexual one
We did a very sexual show
Uh, I just realized
You probably didn't give this guy advice
We just talked about our...
Oh, okay
I told them to break up with this girl
No, that's a terrible advice
No, it's not
She's a bad boyfriend
No, this is what you gotta do
You gotta...
You have to learn that it's a part of her job
Unfortunately
And it's something you're gonna have to deal with
Also, you have to...
You have to understand that
You might be a little bit jealous
But it's a jealousy that comes from something
That makes sense
It's not a jealousy like
Oh my god, who is she out with tonight?
It's literally...
My girlfriend's gonna kiss
A very attractive guy probably
Tonight
So I understand that it's rude and something
It is going to be to you
She is nervous about it as well
She's more nervous about it than you are, dude
It's her first time kissing someone
On camera or on stage
Be as supportive as you can
You could be like
Hey, you know what?
This makes me feel uncomfortable
But I'm supportive of you
Please, whatever
If you'd like her and you dig her
She'll...
You gotta hope and cross your fingers
That it's fine
The other thing is
You're so young
You're 21 years old
And...
18
You're 18?
Freshman college
Oh wow
So...
Break up
No, not break up
But you'll see how strong
You'll see how strong it is
But...
It is something you can't make
Or feel bad for
Don't make her feel ashamed
She's just as nervous as you are
Let her do her thing
And be supportive
If it's a live show
I would show up to the live show
And support her
If it's on whatever...
You gotta kick that dude's ass afterwards
Green, giant
You know, you find the guy's girlfriend
Her stage partner
Give me a Jake and a Jake, Jake, Jake
What'd I get?
Oh God, Jake
Your rhythm
Sorry
Try it again, ready?
Yep
Give me a Jake, Jake
And Jake, Jake, Jake
Was that right?
See, the problem is I don't know
What I'm wrong
You don't know what to start
Give me a Jake, Jake
And Jake, Jake, Jake
I want a Jake, Jake
And a Jake, Jake, Jake
Oh, you had it
You lost it
Cool
How can you play guitar
Where you can't do that
That makes no sense
Well, guitar doesn't...
Guitar's just like steady all the time
It's like...
No, it's not
I don't know
I don't know how I know
How to play guitar
He's great at guitar
Ladies, mamacities
Have you ever given your
phone number out
on this podcast?
No
No, it's sort of like a
cool hip-hop thing to do, though
Really, you give out your own
phone number on this song
Big Sean does it on his album
Somebody else did it
No, he does not
Yeah
Gives his actual phone numbers
No way it's his real phone
Yeah, somebody else did it before him
I can't remember who it was
And he said what?
Call me?
Yeah
Yeah
That's right
Big Sean's line is like
You think I'm not...
You say you can't get in touch with me
Or like whatever
And then he just says his number
Oh
I called it
It's a 555?
No, it's...
I mean, I think...
I don't know if it was his...
I think it was his real number
Hey, how do you ask questions, by the way,
on the podcast?
What do you mean, how do I ask questions?
No, like how do you get people to
ask questions?
Oh, people can email
if I were your show at gmail.com
Speaking of, let's answer another question
All right, we got time for one last one
What?
I just don't give it the point of the show is
Of course you do
You just...
You just...
That was the point of the show
You just gave this guy bad advice
I gave him good advice
I think you should break up
Why?
Because you're so young?
Yeah
What happens if that's a girl you love?
You're the tiebreaker
You could stick it out
I mean, if the jealousy is indeed too much
for you to handle then
You don't have to make her feel bad
Oh, yeah, see how it feels
Go through it once
Yeah, go through it once
I might get better at it
By the way, she's not every scene
She's not gonna be kissing her
Yeah, yeah, it's not as big of a deal
as she's making out to be
It does suck, though
I hear you when I feel through
All right, one last question
One last time
One last time
We need a male name
Yeah, yeah
Male name
I know about this, about Jake and Amir
But they love to dance
Yeah
Did you talk about it on the podcast?
I guess we talk about going out dancing
They go out dancing
And it is something...
It is a joy that I forgot that I had
until Amir and Jake and Amir had
pushed me to go out dancing a couple of times
And we had a blast
Yeah
Dancing's fun
And then we've gone out many times since
The only bad part is that
it kind of ruins regular bars
And it's like, oh, what am I doing here
if there's not music being played?
Well, to be fair, we don't go to club
I guess one time we went to club
I would never go to a techno club
No, not like EDM
No, I mean, by the way, more power too
And I saw a documentary on it
and loved the community around it
But I love hip-hop and R&B
I would love to...
Those type of places
There's not enough hip-hop bars
There's literally a couple of them
It's crazy to me
I know Samantha Ronson does a show
on Fairfax every now and then
And I was like, we gotta go to that
It's people dancing to the best
She's so good
But why are there not more
hip-hop and R&B in Los Angeles?
I don't know
But Jake found one that's every Saturday night
Oh, maybe we do that
Starts this Saturday
Really?
Yeah
My friend's writing is this weekend
I'm also going away this week
I'm gonna get back
I'm so sorry
Like that video
All right
Ready?
Oh, guy's name
Sure
This guy is brought to you by Energizer
Batteries
And his name is...
He's brought your own sponsor
His name is
Lawrence
That's L-A-R-R-E-N-C-E
Lawrence
Odala Gools
Oh, is he Jewish?
No, he's Irish
We had a guy named Lawrence
in one of our videos
Yeah
Gools
Isn't a ghoul like a ghost?
Yes
Why doesn't nobody say ghouls anymore?
I say ghoul
Do you?
I will say ghoul every day
What's my favorite line you do
in Jake and Amir?
What's that?
From the Pirates of the Caribbean trailer
Do it
Do it
From the trailer
Wait, you best start believing
Yeah, do it
Do you want me to do
the Jake and Amir line
or the other line?
Jake and Amir line
Opinions are like assholes, Jake
You are one
Yeah, if it wasn't worth it
Asshole
That's like asking someone
to do an impression of me like that
That's not good
All right
Lawrence writes
I met him in a lake
down in Diego
by way of repubbles
all the time
like a giant carbonated soda
I changed your rhythm
S-O-D-A-S-O-O-D-A
Now speed it up
I saw the little run
sitting there on a log
He asked me his name
and in the recipe voice
he said iota
I-I-A-I-O-IOTA
Was that all right
That's great
Thanks, guys
Hey guys
Hey, guys
Broke Up with a girlfriend
of three years a couple months ago
I've been curious about joining
Tinder, importante and etc
for a while
but was worried about
running into the X on there
How long should I wait
before getting these apps?
Have you ever run across
an X on Tinder
Larence
His last name. Oh dollar ghoul
I'm not on those so you guys have to answer it, but I can I can give you general sweeps
Are you guys both on tinder? Yeah, are you gonna talk about it on the podcast? Yeah, are you on tinder?
But didn't you make a poster of his tinder profile? I did kind of so funny
By the way, you may not know but Jake is very funny
You probably don't know from the short films because he's so bad
And he's so unfunny and funny and all the jacob the compliment you probably don't know because like his performance is lackluster
And his writing is poor, but he's actually
He's really but he's only jit five out of ten
Like the things he says or does but just like the mistakes he made
Yeah, look at him. He's so dumb. Yeah, Matt Besser once said that a
Great straight man is one of the hardest things in the universe to find you have to be so good and so funny to pull it off
The only thing harder than that is to be like the funny silly wacky guy
That's the cake people want to laugh at that without Jake you make no sense. That's right. Fuck that
Do you realize when I do shorts? It's harder for you for you and me to both be crazy at the same time
Yeah, it's just too much. Well, what about also when we had Thomas and you and me and Jake. It was a fucking
Melana being crazy. Yeah, I
Will say one of my favorite things when I watch Jake in here
And I've seen quite a few is when Jake breaks because he gives you what you he gives you the character
And then he breaks it by going like when he tries to be too fratty or too cool. Yeah, I
Go nuts for that character of Jake
There was one where like there's a man the binds where I have Amanda binds his phone number and he like turns it
I was like, you didn't tell me you had an in with Binds
She's all that there's three versions of the dead. There's that Jake. There's the Jake where
Um
Like oh what we just did well in the episode then episode one of the two part of the bad
Impressions what he's trying to do when he's trying to do the bad man when he's doing those impressions
But they're gonna be deleted scenes. Yeah, we should do that
We have outtakes but man he was making a slap just cuz he commits so he wants some people to think he's cool
It's so funny. The second there's a shred of doubt that someone doesn't think he's cool
He puts on he tries harder than a mere choice
Did I do damn my favorite analysis it's really really funny
I think there's different shades of what Jake is and I think the real one is probably the most crazy one
But it was it was oh god, it's crazy. We're not gonna do it again. We're never gonna do Jake and me again
Mm-hmm. Isn't that sad? Have you talked about on the podcast? I feel nothing. No, you feel well
You always feel nothing. Jake has emotions. What do you think Jake? I'm really sad. That was sad. Remember our last day
That was sad. Yeah, I think when we were like we're in when we're writing it felt like I don't know our heads were down
We're just working on it and then at the end of that long day when they're like that's a wrap on Ben
It was like
There was a there was a great chance we would never see each other again
It wasn't like that, but I mean it was like thinking it was sad
Well, I wrote the end of that thing so it would feel like sad remember that. Yeah, one of you guys were like
Why are you doing this? Oh when you hug me? Yeah, I thought or like being like hey
This was so fun like I wanted it to be genuine, right? Yeah, that was a real moment that we like snuck into the video
Yeah, I did that by the way at the end of Parks and Rec. I did that as well. No, did you guys watch the finale Parks and Rec?
Yeah, did you did?
The end of it one of the lines was
Hey Leslie and she turns around I go
I've always loved you and I did it as sincere as possible
I wanted it to be like for the first time you see what he really thinks and what is like why he's been trying so hard this whole time
Yeah, he really loves Leslie like he's in love with her and if you watch it
It's like I almost cry and some of the takes wow
It's like I try to make it like genuine and also I think it makes it so
Funny that it's that whatever and also they did the funniest edit where after it when she goes
I know I get up and like I get up like yeah
Whatever and they and they black out to commercial right after it's it made me laugh so hard
but one of the things we're shooting that Jake and Amir because I was also a week of like I like
When it aired is like the end of parks and the end of you guys and those are all the things that I get to like be the silliest version
Myself and have the most fun
You guys without me knowing
Because they're very they're very nice and they show me edits each edit and I get to give notes on rough cuts
I don't know if you do that with other guys
But no very very nice you and then because we write it together
We kind of do the whole process together and we go back and they're very very good at editing
But they added that montage. I had no idea there was a montage in the final one of our old outtakes
And I mean I knew something was special
With the copy because Amir never emails me more than a mirror like hey
Here's a new cut tell me what you think but then he like texted me an email me one more time like hey you check it out
I was like I'm working. I think you'll find a special treat in this one. I got a motion
I got I got close to a teary-eyed when I watch it. It was because it was like oh my god
We've been doing it for this long. Yeah, and it was all that was yeah
That was what made me emotional really going back and pulling those really old clips. It's like holy shit. So crazy
And the best part they were from the outtakes or from like the fight was like from us being us
Yeah, and laughing for real that was us being us and laughing for real and then you doing your fake seal laugh and me not being able to
Control those so I remember the first time I did it you guys were nervous for some you were nervous the first two times
I could tell you guys were nervous to like play. Yeah, cuz we never we never stuff with a real
Comedy makes me nervous. No, you're so comfortable. No, I'm terrible think about the last one
We did where you were doing those fucking
Best part was it's like Jake and Dave did that
No, I did that Dan and I did that and the call back to that
Which you guys do one of them notes on hours when everybody goes norm
Jake goes
He doesn't even say Dan he goes
Like look at my mouth, you know, I'm saying norm
To for me to just like play with a real-life Ben. I've never ever done that before. Oh, yeah, someone's a crazy car
I was
I was a streamer in that first episode and also that car remember that one that we did where you did the Cartman and
Yeah, that was the origin of like my of the bad. Oh, right impressions. It was like me doing Batman
And that made me laugh so respect my authority
It made me laugh Carmen so
And then you're and then you had like some Beetlejuice or some weird like oh, no, you were like Christian Bailey
Oh, yeah, you're gonna love mine. You're like Batman. Yeah, and then I'm like a Batman's over here, too
Wait, there was something that I guess you just watch the video
Can't wait, but Jake is incredibly funny. I'm here. It gets a lot of credit and Jake is incredibly funny
I am really funny everybody. I hope your dad and your mom are listening. No, I hope my mom's listening and we are gonna continue to collaborate
I don't know how oh, we know we're gonna start to write stuff for fun
See if let's see if anybody wants to buy it, but for fun and cash
I mean, we'll see you about the cash, but regardless. It'll be fun. No one won't be fun unless we're rich, baby
Yeah, this is the problem. I'm rich
That's the last part of that. Do you know the whole line? Yeah, what go do it? I'm rich, Jay
This is where I get it dude. I'm rich Jay
Hey, I'm rich Jay. You know 45 minutes ish. Let's talk to this guy really quickly on the phone. Yeah
Oh, wait. He asked a question. Yeah, he's like, can I join Tinder or do I have to wait a little bit? Oh, yeah
Oh, are you on Tinder? Yeah, and it doesn't matter if you see your ex. You just swipe her left
It's okay or like the fact that you see her ex means that she's on it, too
Yeah, she can't get mad at you. Also, if you swipe her left, she there's a good chance if you see her first
If you swipe her left, there's a good chance that you won't just show up in her cue
Isn't it also fine to start like do you give yourself like a oh, I just broke up
I better take a week off as from I guess well, I wouldn't go on Tinder immediately after but he said he was months, right?
Yeah, yeah, that's 100% fine. No, I wouldn't by the way
I'm also the nature of I wouldn't date anybody for a little bit if someone meant something to you right out of respect
I would take a little bit of time. I don't think Jake is the same way
I was not trying to date anybody and I just wanted something that wasn't serious. I would immediately go to Tinder
That's where you get that stuff. Do you mean you would even try not to bone a girl?
Yeah, but I'm a weirdo and that stuff
I'm like, you know what if I cared about someone because I've because I felt like if I went out with a girl and I
Actually loved her I really cared about her and then I found out three days after we broke up
She had sex with a guy like oh, that's just that's terrible. It just makes me feel disgusting
So you wouldn't do that to why I waited live wait a little bit. Yeah, mm-hmm. That's very thoughtful of you
I usually like to wait
to at least like three or four weeks before we break up
This episode is so much better the first one
The first one was so boring and this one is so much better, right because we talked about sex instead of drums
There's only one thing that can make it better. I'm gonna get it up. I'll keep going. Thank you Ben for that
It yeah, we gave we gave it by we're here for about an hour
We we if you have your own questions your own theme song submissions
Send them on down to if I were you show at gmail.com
Ben do you have anything you want to plug? I do by the way, am I allowed to plug something or no?
You can say whatever you want for real. Yeah, okay. There's something that means a lot to me. I'd like to plug
Okay
Oh, yeah, I would like to
What wait when is this coming out sometime in the next couple weeks March? Oh house Eliza would be wrapping up guys
Give house Eliza shot this year. I don't also these the writers gave me these amazing arcs and I have these beautiful dramatic beats
It's really I should watch this season. My brother says he loves it now. It's so this season is I mean that all the seasons are great
But this season there
I mean we just the characters are set people know who they are now
We get to really play like I have a father though the craziest thing that's ever happened in any TV show
I've ever done happens in the next three weeks. Whoa. Yeah by far the craziest storyline
And also there's like those sex scenes we talked about how you get to see like sparks with people and like we try to play it out
There's more than two people involved in this thing and it's it's fun
But um, I get these really great words that these writers wrote me and that's an example about my character
What's an example of one of the great my poopy smells like to toot?
You can you say that? Yeah, but there's one great one
But there there is a it's a really good season give it a shot on showtime 10 p.m.
