I've got a sticky situation
E-mail me red jade, they'll give you a name that's fake
If all else fails when the prom prevails
It's easy to change, falling dreams
Hashtag dope, if I were you
All right, hashtag dope
That was really tight
I like that hashtag dope shout out
You know what it sounds like at the beginning
Is dream of californication
I thought it was the red hot chili peppers when it started
That was like holy shit
But instead it was Connell Prichard
Ooh, hey everyone
Interesting name
Connell Prichard does not sound like somebody that plays folksy music on a guitar
What does it sound like?
It sounds like somebody, it sounds like a republican senator
Oddly enough it's both if you could do that
Senator Pro Temp from Tennessee
The floor is yours
If you got a sticky situation
Holy shit, it's beautiful
I'll pass all the laws
Anyway, this is If I Were You, the only advice podcast on the internet
Hosted by us, I'm Amir
And I'm Jacob
And this episode is kind of cool and different for two reasons
One, I called myself Jacob
All right, three reasons
One, you called yourself Jacob
All right
Two, we're drinking during it
We're getting drunk as flunk
More so you than me
I'm already, I showed up here, gone
Gone, high, deaf, and dumb
If anything I should be drinking coffee
But fuck that, I'm getting wasted
It's 9.52pm on Saturday night
And we thought it would be fun to while we're drinking
Record an episode, which is either a great idea
And it'll loosen us up and make us funnier
Or the worst idea we've ever had
Right, yeah, I think it's the second one
But I just wanted to get drunk
There's definitely some people who have never heard this episode
Who just heard that for the first time
And turned it off
I want to watch, listen to two losers get drunk
We should have been doing this as a video episode
Because Amir drinks so rarely
That I think I'm more excited
Than anyone that could possibly be listening right now
Right, it's good to like document it in video
Because otherwise people won't believe you
Wait, what's the third reason?
The third reason, what was the third
Oh, you haven't heard some of these questions
Oh, that's right, usually we
We never know what we're going to say
But usually we choose the questions together
And this time I was coming back from a family vacation
I missed the screening of the questions
And I'm going in blind
That's right, so these questions
Not only have you guys never heard of them
But Jacob hasn't heard of them either
So also if I'm not funny during this
It's because I'm drunk, okay
Not because I've never heard the questions before
I'm usually good on the fly
Usually Jacob's copious notes and bits and riffs
That are ready to go for every possible question
But this time he is completely and utterly blind about it
Alright, should we
Let's take a swig of this Gatorade bottle
That I filled with vodka
We'll do that and I'll explain what the rules are
Okay
We have an email address if I were you
Show at gmail.com
And people can submit questions
You know, when they're in a difficult place
I'll take over here, you go ahead, you drink this
In a sticky situation, you email us
And we might not be helpful
But we are going to do our best to make fun of you
And at least
Make you feel a little more light-hearted about your situation
That's right, and you can also email us
If you have a theme song submission
Connell gave a great one earlier
And now we need more
We always need more
We feed off of these, okay
It is cool how talented our fanbase is
So much more talented than us
Yeah, all we can do is talk
Humorously
Actually, if you go back to episode one
I actually play the first theme song
And yeah, it's awful
Yeah, well don't go back, don't go listen to it
But just know that I can strum the guitar
At the very least I can strum the guitar
I can strum it
So these are real emails from real people
To preserve their anonymity
Yeah, I already have a theme in my head
Cool, sorry
Yeah, so that's that
Why don't we get started as it were
As it were
This one comes from
Zach
I'm fucked up
I'm like Adam and Sweat
And I'm Jonzo
You're already fukin'
Zach just gave us the bonus question
That's when we do a little bump of cocaine
Jesus
How do you know it's the bonus question
Alright, this one's from Zach
So we're gonna do some cocaine
We're not doing cocaine
I already feel borderline
I already feel bad enough drinking on this goddamn thing
It's funny that you said uh oh
Because my brother Ben said that
That's one of his favorite bits that you do
And I don't even know that if you knew that it was a bit
Oh, is it like when I say uh oh
Yeah, you're just like whenever you go into
Like hey I hate myself and uh oh
I wake up and I'm still there
Yeah, I love it
Uh oh because it's so like playful
And positive
I'm doing cocaine
And uh oh I'm the worst human being
In the world
I'm suicidally depressed
My bad
I am bad
Alright, alright, alright
First question, this one comes from Zach
My deal is I've been single
For a long time after a series of terrible relationships
And I've kind of reached the point
Thinking maybe I'm better off alone
However, I've met this really sweet girl
Who I like a lot
And I think she likes me too
But I'm worried that if we get together
The relationship will share the same fate as all the others have
I'm sure I sure as shit
Don't want to hurt this girl
And I'm a little scared of being hurt again too
I guess my question is
If every relationship you've had in the past
Failed miserably
Toad off for being awesome
Sincerely Zach
Jesus Christ, I'm not fucking ready for this
Christ man
I was like, this was like a playful
Shit and this guy's like
Yeah, I took a swig of vodka and now I think I might cry
I just drank a fifth of vodka
Daring me to cry
Hi, my name's Zach and I don't believe in love
Well does this resonate with you at all?
Uh, you know what
I think it resonates at all
I think it resonates with me a little too much
Um, yeah, shit
I don't know
But you think it's like maybe if everyone has one person
Then you're gonna go through a lot
And uh, until you find that one person
The full one person that makes you realize
That maybe all your relationships were doomed
Do you think everyone has one person?
Do you think everyone has one person?
Probably not, I'm very logical and mathematical
There's probably, you know, if like
Your soulmate is one in a million
There's what
Six hundred, six thousand of them on earth
Right, that's nice, that's kind of actually
You know, as logical as that is, it's sort of nice to think about it
Like that
Here's where I'm coming from
I agree with you a little bit
I don't think there's such thing as one person for everybody
So I think since there's so many people to choose out there
And you haven't been able to do it yet, Zach
I think there's something wrong with you, buddy
Oh my god, you ass
I can't tell if I'm talking to Zach or looking in a mirror right now
But I think
I think you're a monster
What? Why? Just because
Everything, he's very self aware
He's saying that he's had terrible relationships
He's sort of already blaming himself
And he's afraid that he's going to hurt this girl preemptively
You absolutely will
If that's what you're afraid of, you will
Here's another thing, maybe all those relationships were doomed
Because they were the first, second and third relationships
You've had
Maybe you have to go through a ton of relationships
To realize, to find out what you want
So you get better when you're drunk
You get more positive
One, you're more experienced than two year older
With age comes wisdom
With experience comes wisdom
And maybe this is the girl that turns it all around
I believe in true love and you should stay together forever
And Zach, I think
You are a
Jerk of the human, actually
I know I'm kidding, I'm with you
I fucking, yeah, totally
It's true, you get better
With time, you learn, you grow
And maybe now
Since you've got all these bad relationships
Under your belt, you're ready
But it takes to not let a good thing go
Yeah, you don't preemptively break up with someone
Because all of your previous relationships were bad
Right, at the very least I wouldn't do that
I just go into it with an open mind
And
Just try to not be so hard on yourself
That being said, Zach, if this one fails
I mean, at four, I feel like
You've reached your threshold
You've had the entire buffet
And it's time to go home
And that's enough, you're a full serve
Hey, this is not all you can eat
Be your wingman, pal
Because, yeah, I've had more than four failed relationships
And I'm not trying again
So let's do this, let's hit the town, Zach
Me and you, picture me and you
At this table drinking a vodka Gatorade
God, that's
Weird for me because
Where does that put me? I don't know, me and Zach
I really think we could nail a podcast
We already got Toda down
Alright, thanks for writing in, Zach
Toda
Toda Rubba, let's go on to question
Number two
Question numero duo
This one comes from
AC Slater
I'm still trying to figure out the theme
Zach, I know
I'm about to start
My freshman year of college and after
Talking to my roommate, I think he might be gay
Which I have no problem with
I know that just because he's gay
Does not mean he will try anything with me
But it would make me uncomfortable
If he did end up hitting on me
What do you do if that happened?
How should I handle overnight guests?
Even if he's straight, I don't know
What to do if he brings a girl home
Uh, what?
This email
Started off so
Seemingly positive
Saying he might be gay
Which I don't have a problem with
But it seems like he does have a problem with that
Right, it's so subtle
What if he did end up hitting on me?
I think, dude, no
Based on this question, you're not anyone's type
That's such a funny thing
I feel like I was probably
I guess, you know, he can't like fault him totally
Because he's like 17 years old
And I was probably that dumb
Like, oh man, if my roommate's gay
What if he hits on me? You're not that
Fucking hot, dude
Every gay guy in the world
Do you imagine when you're walking down the street
Every girl wants you?
Why would you assume that for every guy?
If I go into a situation
Thinking that some girl is going to be hitting on me
That's, no
You're so full of yourself
I realize that a good way to find out
How homophobic you're actually being
Is to replace gay with a nationality
And just that
It makes it come off as so much more racist
For example, I think he might be black
Which I have no problem with
I just know that just because he's black
Doesn't mean he'll try anything
But it would make me uncomfortable if he ended up talking to me
What would you do? How would you handle overnight
Guess, even if he's white
I don't know what to do if he brings home a girl
Yeah, that put it into perspective
Didn't they see
You're a meanie
You're not as open-minded as you think
You're small-minded
But you know what? College is about
Expanding your horizons
So, I personally hope he is gay
Maybe you need to not be so closed-minded
And you know, if he does hit on you
I personally hope you want to kiss him on the mouth back
Yeah, because you know what?
College is about new experiences
And if he does, if he's straight and he brings someone home
Then hop into bed with them
Uh-oh, uh-oh
Suddenly you're having a menage toit
Only instead of two girls and a guy
It's three dudes
And a pizza place
How is that for fair?
I don't know what to tell this guy
What does that mean?
It's college
One is sort of a weird
Homosexual
Homophobic question
The other one is just like
Very standard
What do I do if my roommate brings someone home?
I don't know, leave or stay there and try to sleep
Have you ever been sexiled?
Me?
My roommate freshman year
God bless him
He was a good man
He was a good man
No, he's not, he's just a bad man
I'm just not trying to talk shit about anyone on the podcast
My roommate Ken
I'm trying to think of a fake name
My roommate
Ryan
Nice
Ken Ryan
I didn't say Ken
My roommate Ryan
He didn't have anyone sleep over
During my freshman year
And did you?
I think that I had a couple
Guests over freshman year
But you didn't sexile Ken
No, Ken
You wanted him to be there for it
You sick fuck
You got off to the fact that
It was Ken's goddamn sister
You wanted him to hear that
You needed him to hear that
Deep down in places you don't talk about
At parties
You, you Ken Ryan
You lieutenant Ken
I think
Well there's something kind of sexy about like
We have to be quiet
But it's never as quiet as you think it is in your head
No, we're being so quiet
Meanwhile the roommate
And then Ken the next day just like not really talking to me
Like how was last night?
What are you talking about? I just went to bed
I heard your mushy humping
You can't silence the sound of
Two wet genitals
Rubbing up against each other
College was the best
Wet genitals and futon springs
That was it
You had a futon in your door room?
Yeah dude I was sort of a beast in that regard
In what regard?
Yeah man like
I'm 28 years old
Still bragging about having a futon
Yeah actually man
Listen to this shit
We ended up going to Walmart
Freshman year
We bunked the bed so we had all this space
You know what I'm saying
We ended up getting this futon
For 99 bucks
You were a beast
Nah shit was tight I was a beast in that regard
In the futonly speaking
I was sort of in beast mode
Throughout college
One of those metal thingies
You know what I'm saying
So it was very light getting it up to the top of the third floor
In the hasler hall
You can't do that
Can you? You can just move in your own furniture
I mean
I guess
If you're a beast
In that regard
The dean sort of has like this beast claws
You're anyone's allowed to have a futon in college
You can loft your own bed
And add a futon underneath it
I guess there's probably different rules for different colleges
But the one that I went to
I'm actually feeling a little drunk right now
Are you?
Pretty tipsy
Stand up for a sec
I'm afraid to
I just fall over
I knock my microphone over
One more question and then a break
Or should we take the break now
Let's try to do one more question
I feel like we went off the deep end with that one
We started out talking about homophobia
And ended up talking about my futon
How did we get there
What a long walk we took
Alright
This one is from Screech
I was invited to go on a trip
With my girlfriend and her mom
We'd be driving for 20 hours straight
And I'd like to spend time with my girlfriend
The thing is her parents are really mean
And her dad doesn't know that I'm coming
He's not even going on the trip
So I don't want to piss him off if he finds out
Because he'd never approve of me going
What should I do
What?
Well I think we got to this guy too late
I think this trip already happened
But what a weird weird weird
The trip that he didn't go on
The parents both hate you
But the mom's still down to bring you
As long as she hides it from her husband
Who would be livid to find out
That you went on the trip
With her and his mom
And you want to go on this terrible
Terrible trip so you can spend time
With your girlfriend in secret
With her mom who hates you
This guy is so lovably nice
I feel like we usually have questions
That make me hate
Or question askers
But this guy seems like an amazingly
Kind soul
He's considering going on this trip
Despite the fact that both of her parents
Hate him
And he's going to be in the car with the mom
And the dad would disapprove if he found out
You sound amazing
Maybe he's like an asshole
But his question is worded in such a nice way
He's like a very emotionally abusive boyfriend
It's like why are we siding with him
Anyway I don't know if I should go
My girlfriend's a real whale
I tell her all the time
But I don't want to share a hotel room with her
That orca, that she orca
I'm just afraid
I don't have a hose to just hose her down
When we get to the dry hotel room
That is not fair
What? That's what you said
Did I?
So what should he do?
It seems like you should
If I were you
I think I know what you're going to say
Hide in the trunk
And then at every gas station
Have the girlfriend
I heard about on the news the other day
Made me sick
Vietnamese are always vaguely
Trying to quote Stan
By Eminem
Just know how many references have you picked up
So far this episode
What should you do?
I guess if you're going to be with your girlfriend
Despite the fact that her parents
Don't like you
Spend as much time as possible with her parents
Or spend as much time as possible trying to win them over
That's what I'm saying
The parents aren't even going, dad's not there
But you know what you got to do is win the mom over
It's easier to win the mom over
And especially on a road trip
Long drive like oh let me take the wheel
You're tired
I can drive
I'm in a, I'm in a, I'm in a
That was you
That really was you
You're going to call me out for stuttering
I can barely breathe
I'm illiterate
I've noticed actually
Cut to us
Man I fucking love you dude
I fucking, since you're the best
You're funny on the fucking clock
We just edited out two minutes of us making out
At the end of that fight
Holy shit
No I think this is your chance
This is the chance to get in on the mom's good side
Have you ever had a parent dislike you?
Yeah
Have you ever had a parent's over before?
Because of them or because of you?
I remember my first girlfriend
When I first met her
I had just dropped out of college
I had just dropped out of my second college
So I was, I was
Failed out of one college
Dropped out of another
And her dad met me
I worked in an ice cream store and I was like
Your life was going nowhere
How old were you?
This is when I was 20
Wow
So you were
Freshly 20
2006
I had the eyebrow ring
Thank god you took that off before you worked at college
Humor
You would have been known as that loser forever
That's true
Crutches for four years
You would never live down the eyebrow ring
I don't think we would be where we are
If I started with an eyebrow ring
I guarantee we would not
That's how close-minded and small I am
Anyway, the guy that
Was worried that his roommates gave
That's how close-minded Amir is
You guys should be roommates
Who am I to judge is what you're saying
But I remember, I mean
If you really like the girl, this is what happened with me
I just really liked the girl so I stuck around
And eventually they like you
Because I think what the parents ultimately want
Is somebody that's good to their daughter
I don't brag a lot
But here's one really big brag that I have
Is that I'm great with girl friends' parents
Oh I can see that
I think I'm great with middle-aged women
In general
You're great with parents, you just came
Amir just came on vacation in Nantuck with my family
And when you left
Number one
We had a bad day
It was just not as fun
Which is what I hope for
I said I hope when I leave you guys have a bad day
And you pin it on me not being there
We were at the beach and my mom was like
I'm part of the family
And that's something my mom
Might say about multiple people
Because she's sort of like flowery
But then my sisters
And my dad agreed
I don't even think he thinks
That I'm part of the family
I think your dad
Called me the son he wishes he'd ever had
He had two sons
And he likes Amir
But yeah everybody was like I feel so comfortable around Amir
Amir's part of the family
What do you think that is?
I guess because
I think because you were just like joking around with people
And you like
Yeah but also like I felt in Nantuck
And I could just like leave a room and you'd be fine
Right well I guess I'm very comfortable with your family
Although I did make one mistake
Which is when you came here tonight
I bought
A football and a frisbee
For the house to have in quotations
Everyone was very touched by that gesture
Because you guys didn't have a football and a frisbee
Then when I left
We played football we played with the frisbee
That's great to hear
The other day we played a great game of family football
And everyone had a fun
That's an amazing gift that I gave
But then when I landed I jokingly texted Jake
Hey just realized I want slash need the football
And frisbee
Which is like a joke we would make
Though I never said just kidding
I thought you thought I was kidding
I would get home from the beach and I had so many texts
Like so many emails and I just saw that
And then you came over today
You just got back from Nantucket and you had the football and the frisbee
You gave it to me back
Your family thinks I'm a huge asshole
I can't believe you're coming at me right now
Like I fucked that up
You really did
Why are you taking the football and the frisbee
Oh Amira
He wants it back
That's a fucking petty he is
He doesn't want you guys to have it anymore
It didn't even occur to me that it was weird
That you wanted it back
Or even like Jesus I thought this was for us
So you didn't like you weren't like offended when I asked for it
No I was just like oh he bought it he wants it
What a mean gesture
For me to give a gift for four days and then demand it back
I thought you just wanted a football to have
Did we play with football
Yeah we played with football
I would like a football to have actually
But now I have it under the wrong pretense
I don't want it
Oh my god
You're showing me what
This is from
I don't even know what we're doing
We're finally drunk
We did it
Such a tangent
This podcast is two hours long
Does that count as a break
I think so
That was a love letter I told you you're part of my family
And then we talked about how I accidentally brought home a football
That's the most beautiful thing

Oh here's another thing that I wanted to mention
In the middle of the show
Which is where we're at now
Last week
We talked about
Some guy we called Uncle Jesse
Who was debating whether or not he should hook up with his neighbor
And it was a terrible idea
You said it was a good idea
And then you went on to say that
Do you remember exactly what you said?
I believe I said if he was asking us
Then he already has
And I got an email or text message
From Uncle Jesse
And he confirmed that you were correct
That I was right?
He was correct
So he said
He was very impressed by your call
That he had already hooked up with her
But that's me
Shit
That's how I operate
But I also got an update on the situation
This is our first updated situation
I'm enthralled
The update is though
She was a little too pushy this week
A lot of text and she even cold knocked on my door one night
So I put the kibosh on her
Told her we should be buds
And I said oh so do you regret it or not
He said I do not regret it
Cause nothing crazy stalker has happened
There we go no regrets
You looked at me like you were right
No I guess you were right
But that specific situation
Could have been a lot worse and it could get a lot worse
Right no that's tough the cold knock is definitely tough
That's a dangerous territory
Yeah that's a red flag for sure
I think it was good to put the kibosh on a pal
But at least he did
Like you called had already slept with her
Yeah that's amazing and you know what
Let it cool off for a month and then you can fuck again
I swear to god man
You don't get it you really can
By the way by the time this podcast airs
He's already sleeping with her again
He's going out with her
Like Babe Ruth pointed a left field
He's pointing at a girl's vagina in the back
I guarantee you by what is it Saturday right now
Yeah
By Monday you fucked her again friend
I do not think that's true
Let's do it I want to go two for two
Double or nothing
Oh mercy
That's his line mercy
Oh yeah have mercy
Alright this is a question from Lisa Turtle
This is also a very sweet
Sentimental question
So set your brain to that
Good evening gentlemen my best friend
And I am currently about to face the worst predicament imaginable
We are being forced to break up
And drift in separate directions
Sailing alone in the sea of life
Did you just burp
I just beauted a little bit
My best friend is going away to college
I'm half away from me
I'm deeply depressed because we do everything together
We work together, hang out together, live in the same small town
We are what you say creepily obsessed with each other
I can't go one freaking day without her
People at work often say being around you two makes me want to kill myself
I don't understand why
I think they are just jealous of our hashtag dope relationship
But don't understand our abnormal sense of humor
My question to you brilliant fellows
Is how will I ever live without my partner
And crying by my side
How do you guys would live without each other
Sincerely Lisa Turtle
This is really really perfect for this podcast
Because now we are like a little tipsy
Feeling a little sentimental
But that's what happens
In college your high school friends drift apart
But it's not permanent Lisa Turtle
It's not
And just because this girl is far away
She's not even that far away
She's only an hour and a half away
Yeah it's not bad at all
You know two encouraging things
Number one
Most of Amir's friends
Are from high school
I didn't make any friends in college
In fact I was like a mean angry college kid
Some would say I alienated myself
Because I figured I had maxed out
You're still known on the Berkeley campus as the hermit
As an alien
As an alien hermit troll
And I also did something very similar
I don't have a single friend
From facebook, from hunter college
Where I went to college
And I stayed friends with a lot of kids from high school
That's how it goes
You guys can't stay friends
Though that's not to say that you shouldn't make friends in college
I think we're both
If she wants to make this relationship work
She wouldn't speak to anyone else
Make any single other friend
Because you're all that she needs
But you know another thing is
I moved to LA two years ago
And me and Amir were separated
For an entire year
It's true but it was the most difficult year of my life
Completely unrelated to you moving to LA
If anything it was
I mean I was a goddamn distraction
And nothing
In a weird turn of events I stubbed my toe every hour
For a year
I thought I had some kind of weird form of epilepsy
But it was insane how it happened
Pain turrets
Like some sort of weird groundhogs day
Where I would just stub my toe every top of the hour
I think that you guys can stay friends
Especially if it's only an hour and a half away
Just stay in touch
But give each other space too
I mean you don't want to be the friend that's like
She's going out
Maybe she's going to make a third friend
You guys can start a trio
A tribe
Or if she makes a new friend
She'll abandon you
Which is also pretty chill
Oh Miranda's so funny
You and Miranda
You wouldn't really like Miranda
Just because she's not really your seed
Let's me and you do something
Because me and Miranda are going to go get high
You guys are drugs
No you don't like drugs
No I was telling her
I'm high as a kite
You're faking it
Miranda does it for real
Alright speaking of that's the fourth question
It's Molly time
We've been getting drunk to this podcast
But now we're doing a little bit on Molly
A little bit cocaine
Pop the fourth question
We're sweating
So yes
There's no hope for you yet Lisa Turtle
Yeah totally there's hope
Now it's even easier with Skype
I remember trying to video chat
What is now my ex-girlfriend
When I was in college in 2002
And it was the most rudimentary
Half-assed
Remember the Logitech webcams
That were on Spear
It upgraded every two frames
Barely here
What all you cared about was just screenshotting the one time she showed you her tits
Well not necessarily that
But now you can FaceTime
You can have real life video chat
From your phone without wifi
And it's only getting better and better
I remember having Logitech
And being like I am on the cutting edge
I could not imagine
Real time FaceTime
Holy shit
It was so low quality
Me and my college girlfriend would 100% still be together if that existed
I guarantee it
The only thing that split us apart was the frame rate
At which we can video chat with each other
Nothing else
Literally nothing else
Mercy
I have to stop saying that
Alright
That's the next t-shirt
I think you're not allowed to have that
Because it's someone else's catchphrase
I will definitely not
I'm still working on Seize the Cheese over here
I'll take a picture of your face that says oh mercy
I have a moment
You were about to say
You were about to say
Alright
We're at the half hour marks
But let's get through one more question
Let's do it
Let's Seize the Cheese and squeeze one more in
One more sweat from this Gato Rahm
This is
We're getting silly now
Did you guys think this was a good idea or a bad idea
What do you think people will think
I feel like you know what I think
It's a good idea at the top
Like oh this is funny
By the end
I bet there's going to be a lot of questions
You're a little immediate
You're a little hard to understand
Your words are being slurred
I'm not quick-witted right now
Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth
Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth
I know that this is an independence day
No wait no oh fuck see how slow I am
I thought that was Will Smith in Independence Day
That's Chris Tucker in Rush Hour
Like much like in real life
When you're drunk you just assume everyone loves you
But then when you're sober people hate you
Yeah like I'm just like
Song that you will find me
Car beneath the landslide
People if I can love this on it
I'm singing it so well
The champagne supernova
Like in my mind
That's awesome this is so fun
And the thing is people listen to podcasts
At their most sober
They're at work
They're at the gym
This is someone's 9am commute
Through traffic and it's my Saturday night
Drunk as fuck ready to go out
In lower Manhattan you know what I'm saying
That was that fair
I had a tight futon game in college y'all
Listen listen
I was on that tight futon shit
I fucking
Lifted it up turned it into a bed
When necessary lifted it up
Turned it into a sofa
That's me and Ken Ryan
What madden did you guys play
I didn't actually play mad and I just didn't
I had no idea what people actually did on futon
Did you guys did you play do you have a video game
That you equate with your freshman year of college
No I never play video games
I do
I do
It's fine it's fine
Everybody else says halo
I remember thinking I wanted to break my roommates
Halo game in half so they couldn't play anymore
Just the cd snapped into two
That's what I wanted to do
Just break it in half and put it back in the box
That's what halo 2 is actually
You break the halo in half and then you put the broken cd in
Alright one last question
Mr. Belding writes
Fake name real question real email real person
So I'm a junior at University of Washington
And I'm a political science major
I have straight a's and going to law school
After graduation
My girlfriend on the other hand is a sophomore
In college I'm not a pedophile
And is majoring in philosophy
She always compares our workloads
And says that I have it so easy
She has bad grades
And isn't going anywhere in life
And I swear she wants to mooch off me when I'm a lawyer
Should I break up with her
And date a smart girl
Or should I keep her around for the sex
I'm dying over here
You son of a bitch
You absolute asshole
My favorite part though
Is listening to you read that question
Because it's like even if I didn't understand the words
Even if I zoned out and didn't listen to what you were saying
You're like, you're read of that
It's filled with hate for that guy
This is probably the worst person
That's ever written in right
Should I dump my dumb ass girlfriend
Yes if that's the way you think of your girlfriend
She should dump you
We should fucking find out who she is
And be like hey
Your boyfriend's a goddamn piece of shit
Who doesn't appreciate you
I cannot believe that you
Would write such a rude email
About someone you're supposedly
In love with
You know what we should do is answer this question
In his perfect world
This is what he wants this answer to be
Ready
Holy shit a pimp and a philosopher
Writes in
Should I dump my
Finally someone who's doing something with his life
I mean this girl is just a
Biatch
You gotta get rid of that dead weight
She's holding you back
She thinks her works as hard as you
No I don't think so man you're a lawyer
Do you know the kind of poon you're gonna be able to pull
Girls that respect you
Girls that know you're a million times smarter
And a million times more successful than they could ever be
And this girl sounds like a real
She really does sound like a grade A poon Annie
With her bad grades
She's not going anywhere
Let's take this one step further
Most girls are actually like this girl
But finding a girl who appreciates you
For the awesome man that you are
This is what you do you keep her for the sex
Obviously you gotta get your D-dubs
But at the same time once you find that
Hot lawyer chick you gotta cut that ball
And chain off let her drift to the bottom of the ocean
Man you're a piece of shit
I understand that you support the podcast
That you listen that you wrote in and holy shit
I fucking appreciate that
Buy a razor from Harry's
But tell you what
This is the last episode you can listen to
How's that? You're done
You're cut off
This is the first time in podcast history
That we demanded that someone
Not stay with it
That's from now on
That's the golden achievement you can get on our podcast
We cut someone off
And can you please
Can we honor that? Can you please never listen to it?
At this point I would be proud to call you not a fan
I would be
Honored if you never heard my voice
If you hated me I would take that
As a badge of honor
I really would
As more than a compliment
Because uh oh you're a lowline
Yo that was for Ben
Oh mercy me
Oh mercy again
This guy is a terrible terrible person
Yeah should I break up with my girlfriend?
Yes do break up with her
But not for the reason that you're thinking about
Breaking up with her because you don't respect her
How's a little, okay a little bit of a silver lining here
Hopefully we opened your eyes
To what a meanie you can be
Maybe you should start
Respecting your girlfriend for majoring in something
That she loves and struggling
With her grades because sometimes work does not
Or school does not come as easy as it does
For you and maybe you can
You know maybe you should break up with this girlfriend
But maybe the next one you'd have a little bit more empathy
That's true nobody's exactly like you and that's okay
That being said please
Never listen to this podcast again
I think you're done
If everyone else can tell one other person
Your viewership to drop
Because our viewership is going up right now
I'd really hate for it to drop
I look at the numbers and if we don't hit 30,000
In the first week I'm going to blame this dude
Because he's going to stop listening
So if all of you can just tell one person
I'd really appreciate that
Amir personally would appreciate that
I personally would appreciate that
And I'd personally like to come and break your iPod
Mr. Belding
Mr. Dennis Haskins
It's actually Dennis Haskins
I'm doing something with my life
I'm a fucking lawyer
Of course he's a lawyer
Lawyers are in general terrible people
My father's a lawyer
He called you part of the family not but
48 hours ago
Maybe I'm the small minded idiot that
Tossed my frisbee at me
But I said I must return to appear
In fact he wants all of his possessions back
Everything that he gave you
I know he purchased some food for the house
He wants the chips back, the remainder of the cookies
Can you imagine how small that is?
I do regret saying that about lawyers
I know a lot of great lawyers
Lawyers are just stereotypically
Everybody that's not my lawyer
Sucks on that
Every lawyer that I don't know
The ones that I know are great people
Now we're more than at a time
Thanks so much for listening everyone
We hope you enjoyed this episode
As much as we enjoyed having it
Let us know what you think about that
Much as we enjoyed drinking it
Here's a
Oh mercy
Every time I say it
Someone's probably going to think that you said it
We don't sound alike
Mercy
Here's a thing you guys can do to support the show
If you're at your computer
It would really help if you subscribed to the show
On iTunes we stopped calling out for that
But that really is helpful for other people to find us
Through their iTunes ranking
And it's pretty easy you just search
Jake and Amir on the iTunes podcast store
And you find if I were you
This is how drunk you need to get to finally
Plug us on iTunes
There's a button that says subscribe
It just starts down in the episodes
You don't have to listen through iTunes
You can still listen on iTunes
We're going to call it a night actually
This was supposed to be a pre-game
But I think you actually don't
I think it's more than half time at this point
This was supposed to be a pre-game
And it's the goddamn post-game show
That's the sound of the buzzer there
You can do it any way you can
And thank you so much for listening
Literally everybody except for Mr. Building
You are terribly mean
We're going to close the show
By showing one more
Or hearing one more
Or playing
He's broken
Playing
We got a reprogramming here
Hey we're going to end the show by playing
One more theme song submissions that we got
Keep them coming you guys are so talented
Except for Mr. Building
This one is from Charlie
Thanks so much for listening
Bye everybody
I can't wait
For ten winners to pass
Just to see the song
Through the glass
