These two are chill, they're nearly freezing
And we almost don't care that they're Jews
Oh, cause the cheese that they be seasonin'
In that regard they're beastin'
Oh, you better shape up
Because you need advice
There's somethin' you, they won't think twice
So mom turn it down
Because it's gettin' absurd
And I'm not quite sure how her please works
But that's okay, cause Jake's SCD free
At least that's what he claims, I'm not really sure
Well here's what I would do
Jake and Amir, if I were you
Well this is what they would do
With a band's underpinship
They would be
At gmail.com
Do you have it, game!
Wow, I love that!
Do you know what that was a parody of?
Uh, fuck me, it's so familiar but no
You better shape up
Oh wow!
Because I need a man
I really love that, start to finish, I love that one
What do you think?
You seem kriaki, I'm way kriaki-fied right now
I am pouring us two little glasses of whiskey
Yeah, it's weird I've never seen you this happy before
When you hold the whiskey in your hand
I love it, I love to drink
I absolutely do
I like the way it tastes, and I like the way it makes me feel
Cheers
Alright, I might not get around to having a sip just quite yet
That's cool, I'll have yours
I don't want you to have mine
I do, I'm chugging the bottle, here we go
I said, hey we should record, you said let's have one where we're drinking
I'm like, I don't know, I feel weird, it's only two in the afternoon
And then you're like, hey I'm already a bit buzzed
Yeah, and then I also did an upper and a downer, so I'm even keel
You said, watch me do a medium or right now
Just joking, it's Saturday, it's Saturday night
So this is sort of our like, this is how nerds get ready to go out
They drink and then they record, and then they hit the town
I actually might go out alone
Alright, that's alright too, hell, I don't even know if a lot of the bars will let me in
I don't have my ID, I do not have my passport
What I do have is my Israeli passport and it has expired
And it just says shmuel
That's right, and it says it in Hebrew, big block, Hebrew letters
But that's what I'm going to go for tonight
I like the way whiskey tastes
In addition to how it makes you drunk
Yeah, I like to be drunk, because when I'm drunk I feel confident
Yeah, oh and you can't feel that way without
Well sometimes, like, if I'm in a bad mood and I drink, then I'll feel better
And then if I'm in a happy mood and I drink to celebrate, then I also feel even better
So it always makes you feel better?
Yeah, there's really no downside to it
Cut to tomorrow
I have a picture of you
When I say hungover, what's like a good example of how hungover you've been?
Because I have a mental image right now
Was it silver like throwing up on the porch?
No, but that's good too
I was imagining you in the bathtub with a damp towel over your head
And like the shower coming down on you with like lukewarm water
Yeah, that was the same night
Oh, was it?
Because that was the day that you and Marty went to the hotel and I was going to come
And then I was like, actually I don't think I can go
And then you guys were just like standing in the front of the house as I was puking over the balcony
So yeah, there is an equal but opposite reaction
Right
How else do you get confidence if not through drinking?
New haircuts, which we do today
That's right, yeah, we got matching haircuts today
Yeah, we kind of did
But we were trying to psych ourselves up before we got it as to how short we would allow the sides to be
We were just like, I think I'm going to go three
I think we can go shorter than that
Wow, really shorter than a three
It's scary
It is scary, even though it's the difference is eighths of millimeters
So you can't really tell
I ended up getting a one and a half
And I got a zero over the whole thing
You look like Mr. Clean
But you look so, you look a lot better now than you did
I mean, the before and after pictures are startling
Yeah, my hair was too long and it was very ugly
Yeah, it was like ratty and dry towards the ends of it
Because that was hair that's been around since, like, February
Yeah, we filmed, it was pre when we were filming the last episodes of Jake and Amir
So basically somebody could have watched an early video when I got a haircut
And that was the last time it was
You looked like Woody Allen, Annie Hall
Like Annie Hall, Woody Allen haircut
Where it's like a little bit on top and then Oompa Loompa also off to the sides
Why did it take you so long to get a haircut?
I really don't, I think because I like extremes
I like when my beard gets really, really long
And then I like, we'll shave it with a straight razor
I just like big transformations
So I think that's probably part of it
But I also, I wanted to see how long I could grow my hair
I like doing many things at once
Like, I'm not gonna shave or cut my hair until I feel healthy
So like, if I have a cold, I'm gonna let myself get ugly and bad
And then once I'm feeling good again, I will like trim and get a haircut
And buy a new shirt
Oh, I love that
Yeah
Sometimes I'll like, buy a pair of shorts or something
And I'll be like, I'll wear, I remember actually, I bought a shirt
And I didn't wear it until I, I was like
I'm not gonna wear this shirt till I get a six pack
You still, it's still hanging in your closet, I saw
It took, I think six years
And I only had a six pack for two months
Is it a six pack if you flex?
Or it has to be like a non flexing six pack
I don't know, I guess I don't know, I feel like
I feel like if you can flex and have a six pack, that's pretty good
That's a six pack
Can I show you what I have and you can tell me if you think that's a six pack?
Yeah
Alright, I'm gonna stand up away from the microphone
Oh my god, you're covered in boils
Yeah, I certainly called that a six pack
So I can say I have a six pack?
Yeah
I have one then
You finally have a six pack
Have you been working out a lot?
I've been working out the same amount that I usually do
Dieting?
Yeah, you know, my diet is like
I guess you've slowly been, I mean, you've had that for a while
Yeah, I basically don't, I try not to eat a lot of bread
I usually get the healthy, the most delicious healthy option
Right
So like, I'll have like a veggie burger instead of a cheese burger
That's nice
And I'll have sweet potato fries instead of regular fries
I don't want to get drunk with you anymore
Tonight or
Ever
This is if I were you, the only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us
I'm Amir
I'm Jake
I was wondering how long it was gonna take
I know, I think that might be a record
I didn't mind it
I have a six pack
Alright, so what is this show?
Really cool
For real, by the way
This is an advice podcast
People are in desperate need of our advice
What do you feel like you need to work out now that your six pack is finished?
Oh, like what's my next thing that I should
What's your next fitness goal?
Mmm, good question
I think, I think I still have like chub that I can get rid of
If like, I'm not willing, I'm only willing to go 90% health
Right
Like I will get a wrap and like mashed potatoes
But I'm not willing to like eat a salad for every single meal
Right
And that's like what it takes to get like, legit
Or work out twice as hard as you do
Yeah, yeah
Like if you take a three mile run and you could take a six mile run
Or you could do like interval training with sprints and stuff
That would just, it's like which direction are you trying to
Right
Or like sometimes I'll do push ups and sometimes I won't
Sometimes I'll do a six minute ab exercise
And sometimes I won't
Yeah
But if I did something like literally every day
And then didn't eat any bread at all
I feel like the change would be marginal
But the change in effort would be so monumental
That it wouldn't be worth the marginal change
But like, that's the difference between having like, I don't know
I feel like you would, maybe it would look marginal
But you would feel
A lot better
Oh, yeah
I don't know
I don't know if I would though
I think I would feel like a fucking lot better
If I didn't eat cookies
I think I'd be, in French fries
I think I'd be sadder than the happiness I would gain
By looking slightly better
Yeah
So it's like a give and take
I'm not trying to like, I don't want to deprive myself of everything
Because then I wouldn't be happy enough
When I do achieve those things that I want to achieve
What else was I gonna say?
Working out
Fitness goal
Running
Happiness
Sweet potato fries
I'm always just thinking of sweet potato fries
Alright, maybe it'll come to me
Okay
Let's try to answer a question
These are real people seeking our advice for whatever reason
So, here we go
Do you have a fake name to give this guy?
Tile
That's a good fake name
Thank you
So, quite a while ago I was tending bar
And a girl gave me her number
Texted for a while and all was going quite well
We made plans to meet up one weekend
But my mom asked me to go to a concert with her
And I couldn't say no
So I told the girl who had given me her number
That the situation had come up
And I had to cancel
We haven't talked since
Meanwhile, I started dating someone else
But that ship has docked
Is there any hope of rekindling the interest of the enthusiastic bar patron
Who thought that I was attractive enough to engage with
Or has that ship set sail forever?
Love Tile
Basically is there a statute of limitations
Someone gives you their number
And if you don't do anything about it
And let's say this relationship lasts six months
Is that too late?
I don't think it's ever too late
Ever ever?
Because it's so fun and flirtatious to be like
Here's my number, use it if you want
And then like
That's, you know, that's sort of like a micro burst of energy
Like, oh fuck yeah, like I got a number
Yeah
So that's one instance of fun, excitement, out of nowhere
This is cool, unexpected
Wasn't planning for this, hooray
And then fizzles, whatever
But as a fizzle down to zero
I think it's fine
I think it does, of course fizzle down to zero
But it's not like he blew it so hard
That the door can't be opened again
I feel like you can always peek in
If it's that casual and lighthearted initially
He could of course just be like
Hey, it's me again
Is the spark still there by any chance?
Right, except not that fucking lame
No, yeah, of course
I would say, is the spark there per chance?
That's fucking hot
What do you text someone that you haven't spoken to in a year
That gave you their number a year ago?
I would probably just say
Hey, exclamation point, what about that drink?
And they'll be like, who is this?
Yeah, that's a risk that you run
The stakes are so low
If she says who is this
I think that's the real question
If you do something like that and they say who is this
Do you even respond?
So you're like, yeah, totally
You can go for it, it's only been a year
If they say who is this
I think I'm gone forever again
A year break, I say
Hey, let's get a drink, they say who is this
And I block their number
That is such a slap in the face
It's just a stone wall
Then I'm not even willing to entertain the notion of climbing over it
There's no more fun flirty way to explain your name to someone
Like, hey, hey, let's
How about that drink after all?
It's kind of funny to say that after six months
And they say, who is this?
And then you just have to be like
Amir Shmuel Blumenfeld
I'm serious
I can't say my name
I don't know if I said, hey, let's get that drink
She says, who is this?
I guess I would probably say like
Oh no, monkey covering his eyes emoji
Then my name
Or I would say
This is tough
I would say my name and then like
Another message that said
I should have known you'd have given up on me by now
Like make it sound overly traumatic
Yeah, and like that you don't blame her
For deleting your number or whatever
I snoozed and I lost
I snoozed and I lost
And I deserve to be tossed
I feel like that's an example of something that's funny to me
But if you said that to a girl
She would be like, that's bad
Do you ever just go for it?
Like this is crazy and kind of weird
But if you don't get this
Then maybe we're not meant to be
Or do you always err on the side of Kosh?
I probably mostly err on the side of Kosh
Sometimes I'll go
I'll do something very sarcastic
And hope that they get it
But I think also sarcasm is something that
You one have to like
See me in person and know that I'm sarcastic
Right, it's hard to translate over text
Yeah, at least initially
It's not that I wouldn't trust anybody
To not get my sense of humor
I would just be like, you have to build towards it
So it's like a slow ramp up
So with this guy, you can rekindle
Hey, how about that drink?
Or the last text message between the two
Would be like
Hey, Sara, I have to cancel
That's funny, if you're...
But you can't go off that because
If she doesn't have that thread anymore
Then it would make no sense at all
Mmm
But don't you sometimes like to reference the thread
Like something, let's say
Hey, Sara, I can't make it tonight
I can't go to a concert with my mom
She says no worries and then six months later
Isn't it sometimes funny to be like
Hey, the concert just ended
Yeah, hey, longest concert ever
What are you up to tonight?
Like make a joke about that
I do... I guess if it's something that memorable
Like, hey, I can't see you
I'm going to a concert with my...
I think only if it's memorable
I think if you're going solely on the last message
It's a little dangerous because not everybody
Saves their texts
It does save automatically, but I sometimes delete them
So, basically, he can text
Ah, yes
There is no statute of limitations
Um
Alright, we need
Yet another name
Of a man
You come up with it
It has to be a fake name
Ring
Ring
Tile and ring
That's our names tonight when we go out
Hey, what's up? I'm Tile
We don't need games to make me more
Self-aware and self-conscious around people
I already feel weird when I go out
You don't have to say
Oh, we're so hot and handsome
That, like, let's do this thing where you have to introduce yourself
Is a weird thing, like, let's make this game
A little more challenging
It's already hard enough for me to talk
It's not challenging, it's fun to do that
It's not fun to say, hey, my name is Ring
I'm going to introduce you to my name is Ring
I'll introduce myself as Jake
Say, this is my friend Ring
This is my friend Ring
And they'll say what?
That's right, his parents liked
Rings
Ring writes
Been a long time listener
Ving Reims' name is Ving
You know, actually
His legal name is Ring Vames
No shit?
Yeah, it's a spoonerism
Okay, here we go, Ving, sorry
Ring Vites, no
Ring writes
You've had one sip of whiskey
I'm already done
I don't need to go out, I'm already there
Ring writes
8.5 out of 10
I like that he needed to say, don't get me wrong
We aren't ugly
He needed you and me to ask
What do you think of her?
I haven't even met the girls yet
I'm torn between the two of them
So please, guys, I need your help
Do I carry on
Trying to progress things with the 8.5
Or do I embrace the 10s flirting
Or a third option
Do I wait till I meet them both at a party
And let things sort out themselves
Thanks, love Ring
He needed you and I to know he wasn't have we ever just made fun of somebody on this podcast because we thought they were ugly
Yeah, probably on the
on the outside
Only on the inside we make fun of people all the time for being ugly on the inside
You also you don't have to tell us that you've been lacking in some female affection recently your neurosis speaks so so many volumes that we know
We know that this is a very precious and exciting moment for you as you invited someone to a party
Three weeks in advance, and you're freaking out two weeks in advance as to which hot girl you should bone
Should I go for the eight and five eight point five? I don't know things are looking really good, but there is a ten out of ten
It's so mathematical. It's also a nine
My god one of the girls is a nine and the other one's a nine point two five
And I'm sort of unable to differentiate
Oh my friend is fucking all five of them. Oh, yeah, I was too busy ranking them
You're too busy rating everyone out of ten
You're a zero
loser
Sorry, I was looking at a mirror when I said that it I feel like this is a
Write a passage almost for like
It's so not an actual problem, but you get so hung up on it when you're single and you're a dude and you're like
Let's exciting after girls it's exciting to make it a problem right because
You're thinking about it all the time and the only way to warrant the amount of
Space in your brain that it's occupying is to make it sort of like a conundrum that you have to solve
Yeah, but like really what you want what your question is is like
Two girls like me two girls like me. This one's hot. This one's hotter. This one's hot
They're gonna come to a party two girls like me. Hooray
It doesn't you don't actually need to decide anything yet, of course not. It's fine
But I do I think that like I used to do this all the time as well
Just be like do I like this girl? Do I like this girl?
But it was only that I liked thinking about girls
It wasn't that like I actually needed to decide who who I like
Do you ever have that thing where you're like there's these two attractive friends that are both equally into me
And I have to choose one and the other will be alienated forever
That doesn't exist, but you know what else I don't think exists
I don't think anybody ever sits down and weighs all the options and makes an educated decision about which person
They're gonna be more attracted to I think you just like to think about it. So it just comes up
You just are you'll find yourself being you can't like talk yourself into or out of being attracted to someone
So if he's like I like this 8.5 a 10 likes me and I like I don't know which one I like
Who should I decide these are the pros?
These are the cons. Yeah, all he's really enjoying is that it's happening, right?
And then when the party is taking place
That's when you'll know who you're attracted to because you'll be like I want to talk to this girl
I mean this is good. I mean it is a fun problem to have I was just joking calling him a zero
I mean this guy's sort of like me in a way. He's just super
neurotic and analytical about any any
Specific problem that I think he's like every person though ever every every guy I've ever met right just so like all right in two weeks
I'm gonna have a party and one of them is a as of this and the other one is a that and how do I make sure that there are three?
Options are right. There are three options and I have to choose which one
Why don't you go to having a party is planning for it, which actually which completely means nothing
Why don't you just go to the party without anything in your mind and see what happens, right?
It's that's like one of the advice someone I think it was Milana on our show. She's like
The best thing you can do on a date is not think about how it's gonna end just enjoy the moment because if you're thinking about the end
It's like ooh should I kiss should I hug should I handshake should I do this should I do that?
Yeah, do the other why don't you just enjoy what's happening currently and then see what happens if?
One of the opportunities should present themselves whether it's with one girl or the other
I say go for it because the hardest thing to do is actually yeah, I mean you already wrote for it
So figure it out like let's say I wouldn't I wouldn't turn
Getting a girl turned down for what yeah, I wouldn't turn down for whom
Getting a lady or a guy is a very difficult thing to do. It doesn't happen often in your life
Even if you do it a lot
It's a small percentage of your life
That's true. Like let's say you sleep with a hundred girls, which is a ton or a hundred guys. That's still like
five percent of a
Given decade, of course, I haven't done any of that math at all so I can't really yeah
I couldn't understand I mean a hundred out of three thousand let's say three thousand days
You sleep with a hundred girls that seems like a lot, but it's only like one and every
Thirty three hundred one and every three hundred
See this is what happens when I drink
It's a small percentage of your day. It's a special you don't want to find out
How many days in a decade? Oh my god. All right, I'm gonna do the math right here. This is why my number is lower than a hundred
So 365 you're doing you're doing the math for my number. Yeah
So there's thirty six hundred fifty days in a decade. Let's say you have sex
200 of those days, which is a lot
Well, I don't even know if it's a lot because you have a girlfriend you have sex many
Okay, how about what if you don't have a girlfriend? So let's say you're a hundred
What's the number a hundred times you have
Well, look we count once they count once a hundred times you have sex with a girl for the first time
Yeah, that's what we're talking about having sex for the first time is very excited. It happens once every
So let's say there's 365 days and you do it a hundred times. So that's once every
This is if this is a hundred people in a year a hundred people in a decade. Oh in a decade. Yeah
It happens once every month in a week five weeks
So it's a special thing it's not like food where you have it every day and it's not like this weekend
Which happens once a week it happens every five weeks if you're if you're doing it very very well
So what I'm trying to say is that when it's so special when it's happening that I wouldn't be like
I'll pass on this one and see if something else develops. I would say just go for it. Oh interesting
Because I mean and a hundred you did a lot of work to make it not interesting with all the calculating
In a perfect world I could have gotten to that number in my head
Yeah, this this calculator that you see has to be in my in my brain
This can't be here on the computer on the computer. Absolutely. This computer should be between my eyes
I'll finish your drink for you. I'm okay without it. I'm okay without it. All right, hand it over
Let go. Hey
I'm biting your hand
The advice is to relax and go for it. I
Don't know what else to say other than that. I think yeah, that's perfect relax and go for it
Let's see what happens. Can you let us know what happened? Yeah
We'll reply to this email so that you know we talked about and then you can let us know what happened
Alright, let's take a break. We'll be back with more after this

Uh, we're excited. I don't know about you guys, but I'm just excited to hang out with streeter again. Yeah
Um, I'm not even thinking about the shows. I'm thinking about like after the shows and asking people to take us to whatever place
Uh, people rage at in perth on a tuesday. Oh, that'll be nice. Yeah sunday one of our show is it's it's half a show and then half a party
Yeah, we're relying on people to take us out. That's right
So we basically we need you to come. Please come. Yeah, if you're on the fence and you're like, oh, I actually know some cool places
We actually need you to arrive. Yeah, wait for us until after the show
We appreciate the money you'll spend on us, but we really actually mostly appreciate your guidance
Of course, we need friends and I know what you guys are thinking
I don't want to hang out with those two guys. They haven't gotten a haircut recently like we said
We did get a haircut today. We are looking fresh to death. We're cut. I'm actually going to be borrowing my roommate's
Bomber jacket while you don't know. I think I'll be borrowing Marty's bomber jacket
All right, if y'all see me in a bomber jacket, you'll know I borrowed it
Another but I own it and wait. No, don't borrow it. I didn't borrow it
Another update in our lives is that
By the time this episode comes out, we will be homeless. We did not get we did not we did not acquire
We were not presented with the opportunity
To to enter Raven nest. Yeah, nor do we deserve to be entering Raven nest
We made an offer the offer was so low
The owners did not even humor us with a counter. They they didn't even laugh at us
They stared at us blankly. Of course laughing would be acknowledging it
We floated down onto their feet like a leaf and they didn't have to do anything about it
Grasp for the ark and stone. Mm-hmm. And what did we receive? We received nothing but ash
Coal and ash for that is what we deserve and that is what we are
In the shadow of raven nest
Uh, so that that that home. Sorry that haven't glory be her. Absolutely praise be to her
Uh will exist only in that one visit to us only in our mind's eye
And I'm not a hundred percent sure we ever were there
Explain that
I think
You and I died of death
I think we died of death and I think raven nest
It was purgatory
I can't imagine to show us what we could have to show us what there was and then to show us what we are and who will never be
How much good have we done on this limited time on earth?
For us to have died and and seen the light of raven nest. Yeah, I feel
saintly for that for only
the a few
Such important special souls to pull at the sword of Excalibur
Although sword in the stone that we couldn't remove it to have the opportunity to grasp the handle and to yank at the blade
To touch the stone to touch the stone to see the stone to be considered
Is an honor
It was an honor to be before her gate to listen to the siren song
And then we did try to bed the siren, but she would not she would not give herself to us, of course, nor do we deserve it
We we offered so little for what you what can you ever tell you I shit in the drive right there
What I shit in the driveway
on the way out
I swear to jesus what I turned around and saw that turd. It was nothing but three cadbury eggs
Uniformly placed stacked on top of each other that is the power of raven nest
And it and it is deserved and it is so let us never ever speak of it again for it is unspeakable
To raven nest
Uh, all right, let's get to one last question. We gotta we gotta hop aboard this flight
Oh
I drank two whiskies at a time that you have not drank one. Yeah about half
All right, you want to read this question while I while you finish that. Yeah
Well, you finish that baby
The fake name I'll give this person is it a lady? Uh, no good. It is not and I will give this gentleman the fake name of
Uh, smort s
Hyphen sorry s apostrophe lowercase s apostrophe mor t. He loves s'mores
His name was mort. He loves you went on one camping trip. Yeah, he had it
Honestly, he only had two s'mores, but everyone else had one
Some people had two. Yep
But anyway smort smortimer writes smort writes
Hey, jake and amir me and my friends all go to different unis
But we always meet up in the holidays to catch up and hang out
The problem is one of my friends always brings his sister along without asking
This wouldn't be so bad except this dame is a stone cold bitch
She is really mean and distant to everyone and keeps messing up the group dynamic by getting off with or fucking the guys in the group
We've talked about it and none of us want her there
But it's got to the point where the only way we can avoid her is by not inviting our friends to stuff
How can we politely tell this guy that his sister is not welcome without it being awkward?
Thanks for your help
smort
I don't know about this chick you guys. She blew daryl fucked michael. She fucked david
I feel like she fucked everyone except for me at this point. She's actually a stone cold bitch
He's such a bitch. She's like fucking with the dynamic. She's boning
She like is hooking up with all our friends not me of course, but all of everybody else
So raise your hand if you okay, see how it's everyone, but me nobody even freaking likes her except for me
All right, I might not I don't like her
I just I'm I'm curious is all to fuck because you all did it and you all liked it
So I say I for one either cast her away and we never hang out with her or
I get to have sex with her and make her my girlfriend and you guys never allowed to touch her ever again because she's with me
She
Is not a bitch
We I don't know we don't know we don't know we just don't know
So like even if everybody else does agree with this guy and they're like we want her out man
She's fucking up the group dynamic. She's hooking up with us
She's not doing it by herself
You're hooking up with her. Yeah, it's she's screwing it up because of you. You can't like hook up with her and then say
You fucked up the dynamic
You mean what is the dynamic of this group that
Doesn't that seem like a thing a girl can do is like threaten to sleep with all your friends
Yeah, like if a girl if you were dating a girl
And she was kind of crazy
Right, and then you're like, I think we have to break up and then she's like if you break up with me
I'm gonna fuck all of your friends if I was dating a girl. She was like, all right. I'm gonna blow a mirror
I think I would probably
If she was like, I'm gonna if you break up with me, I'm gonna suck a mirror's dick
But not just me it would be like me Dave Jeff like, okay, I'm gonna suck every single guy's dick
And you could be like I'm gonna tell him not to but odds are they wouldn't care. Well odds are
Definitely Dave's doing. Oh, yeah, Dave's already going. Well, actually Dave's married at this point. Oh, okay
So besides Dave or Dave three years ago, especially if she did it in like a really
Cool even tempered way not like well, I'm gonna fucking blow all your friends
They're not gonna do it if you seem this unstable. She's like, and I'm gonna blow your friends
No, I can con them
I'll tell them I need to talk that I want to get over you and I just want to like go out and get a drink with somebody and then
We'll get to drinking and I'll
Touch their leg. They'll think oh wait. What is this and then you know, of course if I just want to blow them
You know your friends. They'll let me
I would be really afraid
I would be fearful. I think
I would be scared. I might be scared that she would do it anyway
So you might as well and ties and hope for the best be like, all right. Do whatever you want. I can't I can't deal with this
Yeah, that's a completely different issue. I don't even know why that came up a girl. Yeah, no girls could
Easily wreak havoc. Yeah, they are on a group of guy friends because girls just men are so jealous and so horny
They're so jealous and horny. We can't stress that enough the two worst things you can be
Are like, I'm super horny and super jealous. So I'll be angry and also want to nut
I want to come and yell. I love the idea of coming and none of my fucking friends get to
Only I do
Life is a competition and then we talk about it and celebrate me because I came the hardest and the most and for the most people
And in the most people and with the most people. Yeah
I borderline had sex once every 36 and a half days and nobody's given me the atta boy. Nobody's given me the gaps
I definitely didn't do it because it felt good. I did it because my friends would be impressed
What can you do
What would you do? What would you do to get rid of a sister
Could you stop inviting a guy? Isn't it easier to just tell him not to invite a sister? I guess the easiest thing would be to
Uh, tell him that his sister is hooking up with all your friends. Yeah, you don't want a guy wouldn't be like down
I don't have a sister. So I don't really get that like
When your sister is dating a guy, are you like a dad? Are you protective?
Are you like, okay? What how does it work if you're a brother? I had to like go through a transformation with my sisters because
When I was younger, it was like no was allowed to touch them
You know, I was a protective older brother. Like I don't want a guy talking to my sisters
I don't want any of my friends working at my sisters
And then you like you get older and you realize that
People like to be touched and have orgasms and you you don't want to deprive your sisters of that happiness
I don't like to think about it happening, but I would obviously want everybody that I love and care about to feel good in every possible way and sexually
Uh
Sex is a way that you feel good and I want them to have fulfilling sex lives
but
Then you don't think about like hey, don't touch my fucking sister. It's just like hey, don't
Uh, don't be an asshole to her. Yeah, don't be mean
Yeah, so I'm sure if you told this guy that his sister was sleeping with all of your friends
He would want
There's not a lot of brothers who are like, yeah, I don't care have at her
Yeah, but then like then this guy the tattletales fucking with the dynamic also like what is he gonna say?
She's fucking everybody with me, dude
She's fucked. Yeah, she blew him fucked him made out with him and I'm getting like jack shit
And you think that's fair. Do you think it's because my name is smort? I mean, I don't even know how to
rationalize this one and a half s'mores
s'mores
Uh, is there a better so you're saying don't tell the guy that his sister is
Hooking up. No, well, because if you're worried about the friend dynamic, that's certainly gonna fuck with it
If you're like, hey, all of your friends are boning your sister
I don't understand the kind of guy who's like, let me bring my sister around with all of my dude friends
You wouldn't do that
I would bring uh, yeah, no, I don't think I would at all
You would you bring any girl to a guy's night or especially not a sister? How does that work?
female friend
uh, yeah, I probably I mean
I don't know. I guess do we have like guys nights?
uh
Sometimes we hang out dudes
But I feel like that's never like a conscious decision like hey tonight's guys right. It's just like we're mostly friends with guys
Every guy every night of ours is guys night by default every night is just like hey
Let's hang out with our friends and then we know four guys. Yeah
That's our guys night. So what would you tell this guys to do?
Uh to
I think he is
Way too focused on this sister. It's fine that she's there
Yeah, and if it bothers you a lot, I guess you can talk to him about it
But what a weird thing to say
Don't bring your sister around
I don't like people that are like so focused on it like keeping a certain dynamic
You have to just there's an ebb and a flow and an evolution and like
But I can imagine you getting mad at like a guy that you don't like constantly being there
I'd be like, why do we hang out with this dude? I don't like this guy. Yeah, but I was like ruining my night
But not like to not bring him
So say we hung out with this guy a guy that we really liked and every time he was around he brought another guy that we all
really despised
I don't
Did this actually happen ever because that would help me uh channel my emotions
Uh, I don't know but sooner or later you would just like you would you in your mind you would group those two guys
You're like, I don't like these two guys here. So it's like almost like it negatively his this badness
Is contagious and it's like he's infected this good guy now
It's like I don't like these two guys because it contains 50 percent that guy
Interesting. It's like I don't like chocolate vanilla swirl ice cream because I don't like chocolate
Suddenly I'm not eating vanilla anymore. I mean, how is that?
You did finally finish your whiskey. So I understand why you're crying
And it does look like chocolate at this point
I think the last time we did a drunk podcast like on our on our own not in the live show
We got way more wasted. I'm pretty drunk. Are you? Yeah, good man. We're gonna go out
Dude, are you kidding me bottoms up? Uh, what's your last bit of advice for this guy just so we can end this episode?
Here's what I think
You're never gonna get the same group of friends that you have that you want back
He's not you're not gonna get this
Restoration to the old group dynamic, right?
You might as well embrace that this girl's there
Or sorry not embrace it, but just ignore that. She's there. Oh
Talk to your other friends. You won't maybe you're not gonna have like a big guy group thing
At least not with you're manipulating it. You're not it might just happen organically. It's gonna happen naturally
but just try not to be such a little
bitch about it, excuse me, of course and
Talk to your other friends and don't talk to the stone the stone cold ice queen. Yeah, also
I do think you like her
That being said, I feel like if she's slept with you and not your friends
It wouldn't be an issue
Except for that it would because then he would be like I love this girl and all my friends fucked her
So what you should do is ask this girl out
No, either kick her out or ask her out. There you go. Either way
I'm blind
Oh, oh, no. Oh, no
All right, that's it. That's our episode come see us in australia if you if you are in australia and you haven't bought tickets yet
