If I were you
I wouldn't ask them questions about chlamydia or herpes
If I were you
I'd just probably call Love Line and talk to Dr. Drew
If I were you
I'd ask my gynecologist what to do
If I were you
I'd never risk my health based on misinformation from some guy with a butterfly tattoo
But a nerdy Jew
Very nice, been chill
We appreciate the sentiment and the fact that you're a fan, but cool it
Yeah
Lovely song
Watch it
And Jake's not a nerdy Jew
And I do not have a butterfly tattoo
So you got your information wrong there
Unfortunately for you, your jokes landed a little flat
Who's misguided
To say the least
Not misinterpreted
35 minutes of this
We never ever break the bit
Hey, welcome to If I Were You, the only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us, I'm Amir
I'm Jake
And I like that theme song because he referenced like specific storylines that we've had on this podcast
Which is namely the misinformation you've given out about your sexual...
When am I ever gonna live that down?
Education
When am I gonna live that down?
I guess at least give me like three to five more episodes of bringing it up
All right, but that's really it
You actually did get the results of your STD test
We're gonna save that for the break
Oh man
A little teaser
Keep on listening folks
And get out your pen and paper now and just try to jot some guesses as to what you think Jake has
How about just the over under for how many STDs I got?
We're setting it at seven and a half
So make your decision now
Hey, no cheating, no lying, you're only fooling yourself
Yeah, no cheating and lying, that's just what I do in relationships
Oh, I'm alone and I'm empty and so
Oh, Jesus, I'm so sorry
That's how I would cry if I could
Yeah, yeah, I saw a human crying on television once
And that's sort of how I mimic it when something bad is happening
Me, I'm a robot
Oh god, you're short circuiting
That's what syphilis is
All right, so how does this work?
Basically people are in such tough places in their lives
They're like, god, I'm in this weird, weird place
And I don't know what to do
Should I ask a loved one?
Should I confide in someone that I don't know?
Or should I email in a podcast
And maybe they'll choose my question out of the thousands
And they'll ridicule me and try to offer up their advice
I think if we make fun of certain people enough
They're on the straight and narrow though
I do think sometimes we shame people into the right answer
Oh, so we give them tough love
Every once in a while
Yeah, it's like, yeah, it's embarrassing
But like, this is what you needed to hear
Right, exactly
Anyway, these people email us in with their questions
And we answer them on the show
And that email, if you wanted to email us
Is if I were you show at gmail.com
I thought it would be cool to have a catch
I know it is, my ear does hurt
It's completely unrelated, I think
Promise?
Yeah, it was a confecute or something
All right, then here we go
No, no, no, no, no, that's not what I meant
You should always stop that
All right
I do feel bad sometimes when we make fun of people
Like, I'll email people and be like
Hey, we use your question on the show
Things got a little crazy, but I hope you like it
No response
You, I'm mortified by you
You asshole
I'm mortified of myself, I feel bad, I don't know
But is it worth it?
Let me work it
I'll put my thing down, flip it
And reverse it
Yes, it's your fifth and if and when yet
It is your fifth and if and when yet
Come on
You got a big fat dick, let me search it
Whoa, whoa, whoa
What, dude, it's the rest of the song
Big fat dick, let me search it
Find out how hard I gotta work it
She says a big fat dick
It might be a big black dick
Really?
I don't know, I think they bleep it
Yeah, if I had a big fat dick
I wouldn't need anyone to search it
Well, she has to find out how hard she's gotta work it
Oh, I see, so if you're a fifth and if and
It's fine, yeah
I got you, I got you
It's your fifth and if and when yet
Yeah
Missy Elliott, we're coming at you
Because we didn't have a podcast
When you came out with that song
So we're gonna make fun of you now
She's totally listening
Oh, yeah, she was a big...
She actually wore a hashtag dope t-shirt
To the VMA in 2012
Her speech, her acceptance speech
Was seize the cheese
Why, what did she even accept?
She grabbed the moon man
She held it up above her head
And she said, Toda
God, that was an amazing dream you had
So yeah, should we get this party started?
Why not?
I'll tell you why not
Because people like the intro
They like it, they like just to see us
Joking around
God forbid we get to the questions
That's just a conceit
Okay, it doesn't mean anything
It's a structure
We don't need to care about the bare bones
Of the structure
They want to see us color
They want to see us color
They don't want to see the outline
They want to see the painting
Everyone just turned the podcast off
Including your mom
She'd rather watch the dish in silence
Does she still listen to this?
I think so
Hi, Laura
Hey, your mama
We should have her on the show
I would love that
This will be a test
Don't tell her that we're talking about her
And if you want to be on the show, Laura
You should email us and we'll get you on the show
But if you never hear this
Then you'll never know
Right, and you don't deserve to be on the show
How's that, mom?
That being said, most of the guests we want on the show
Probably have never heard the show
That's true
So it's not fair to hold your mom to a higher standard
Right, we only want people on the show
Who already know and love it
Specifically this person right here
Who emailed us in
Let's get started, ready?
This email
This email comes from a dude
We're going to give him a fake name
To preserve his anonymity
But I assure you this email is 100% real
So this real email from this fake person Adam
Reads
So recently I've been trying to be a better person
I've started reading books, drinking red
Pursuing excitement and a girlfriend
Here lays my dilemma
I met this absolute gorge girl down the road
I told her that her face is awesome
And she responded with smiles and a telephone number
Here's the thing
On our first date, we connected so much
That we ended up banging in the bathroom of the restaurant
Sober as a bone
Then banging at mine
Shwaisted on Merlot
I really want to date this girl
But I feel like she sees me as more of a fuck-bud
A friend with benefits and a sex on tap
What should I do?
Love, Sam
I don't know why he thinks
Drinking red wine makes him a better person
Maybe he's lost sideways
I think his problem is
His imaginary girlfriend
Right, or the fact that he
The imaginary sex he had in the bathroom
Yeah, this guy probably went to
Masterbated in a pizza hut bathroom
And then came home
Who connects so well on the first date
That they fuck sober
Bone sober in the restaurant
Sober as a bone
I threw her a bone
And then banging on mine
Shwaisted on Merlot
I really think having sex in a bathroom
Is not a sober decision that anyone makes
Nobody wants to do that
No one's like, alright dude
I need to have you right now
Let's both excuse ourselves
From the restaurant
Where the waiter's gonna be coming to check on us
Go to the bathroom and bang
Then we'll get shwaisted on Merlot
No one says shwaisted
And then says on Merlot
You don't get shwaisted on Merlot
What do you get shwaisted on?
You get shwaisted on like tequila shots
You get drunk on Merlot
You classless fuck
You're classless assless
Deaf and dumb
So what now?
Let's say he is telling the truth
Which odds are he's probably not
Right, his problem is that somebody sees him as a fuck buddy
Isn't the problem with fuck buddies always
That it gets too real and gets emotional
Just wait, just keep doing that
At one point she'll either want to date you
Or stop boning you
I think if you have enough sex with anybody
You start to feel connected with them
It doesn't matter if it's like...
I wonder what the Guinness Book of World record is
For longest fuck buddy without any emotional attachment
It's held by Guinness himself
Sir Alec Guinness
Guinness and Webster actually
genuine class
And Roger as the third person in this homosexual love triangle
Though maybe it is two dudes
Because that's how dudes think
So it's like this gay fuck buddy situation
Where two dudes just wanted to bone
And never got emotionally attached
Maybe
Was that an offensive guesstimate?
Saying that gay guys
Just view everybody as fuck buddies
And they don't settle down
Or that females are incapable of having
Being as emotionally detached as men
I guess...
Yeah, it's offensive
I wonder if it's...
Isn't it rooted in truth?
I feel like they've done studies where it's like
This is like me saying STDs aren't contagious
They've actually done studies where it says
Girls are like clingy little shits
And dudes are actually chill
This is you after you got broken up with
You're shwasted on Merlot
You're shwasted on Merlot
There's actual scientific studies
That says girls are sluts
I swear to god
There's like one
I think it was in the fucking New England Journal
Of whatever the fuck that said
I swear to god it said Meredith was a slut
Like I don't know what the fricking hypothesis was
Or if they fucking used the scientific notation
I think they used her as some kind of lab rat
And she ended up sucking off every single scientist
In the room
And it concluded that she was like some kind of mean bitch
I forget
I fucking...
I think I read the abstract on micro-fiche at the library
I never ended up getting the entire fricking catalog in
Or downloading it
But that's how you know I'm chill
I really think she was a bitch at the end
The scientific conclusion was that dudes are chill
And girls are cray
It was the fricking cover...
It was like that was the cover story
Or fucking stem cells some shit
I don't freaking remember anymore
Yeah I don't know
I don't know what the truth is
I feel like I've heard that
Men are better at separating sex
And it's like actually
There's like some kind of...
Evolutionary...
Yeah there's like some
Yeah there's some
Something that's released during a female orgasm
That makes them feel more connected
Or something
And men don't have it
Oh interesting
It's the opposite
It's the opposite of jizz
Jizz is emotions that we're giving to women
Right jizz is like
Oh it's out of me
Now I feel nothing
And you feel it because you have the jizz
I give you the curse
Sex is transferring the curse
I get to go be a monster again
Stop stop stop stop
Tinder tinder tinder
Now that I'm lighter
From the ball sack up
I can do whatever I want
And you're weighted down by my liquid curse
That'd be the funniest name for semen ever
Oh the curse
Yo shit man
I fucking cursed all over my bed
I had a wet dream
And I ended up with like
The curse in my sheets
Jake it's okay
When you do curse in a sock
Just let me know before I do the laundry
I'm cursed
I really am
I'm cursed at myself
Help
I think we helped this guy
By calling him a liar
And saying that if he wants to not be a fuck buddy
Just keep on being a fuck buddy
And then somebody's going to get emotional about it
Yeah
Though it sounds like it might be you
So if the
Clearly this person's lying
But if someone's in this relation
In this type of place
Where the guy wants to get more serious
And the girl just wants to be fuck buddies
Keep it going
Try to increase the rate
Or the frequency of it
And by proxy
By default
You guys will
Somehow become closer emotionally too
That's science
That's science
That's science
Bitch
Magnets
Alright cool
Good question
Good question
That was a good answer actually
Oh my god
In terms of
How would you score that?
Jump out your window
What?
Do it
You really want me to
Yeah
I bet if I did it
You'd be like pissed
Nope
I bet you'd be sad
No
And I think you'd regret it
Yeah right
Maybe not today
You know what would happen
If you jumped out the window
You went into a coma
You woke up nine months later
You said who came to visit me
I would not be on the list of people
I promise
Oh shit
Oh shit
You would
You'd feel bad
Oh you're laughing
You're smiling but there's tears rolling
Other people would guilt you
Into it
Oh
That is the saddest truth
You wouldn't want to
That is the sad thing
You would make you feel bad enough
That you'd like
Just squeeze in a visit
Like on a Thursday afternoon
Or some shit
You would
Alright
Here's something I remember
Remember when we
Before we started the podcast
You said
Maybe don't say what question number it is
Because we can just record a bunch of questions
And pick and choose
Oh choose the funniest ones
Yeah
Did you ever do that
No we never did it
Because we
We ended up not wanting to edit at all
Right we decided not to edit the questions
Yeah so if something turns out not funny
It's still in the podcast
Yeah that's true
I remember because it's a good decision
That we should actually ultimately go back to
For example this question
Which comes from
Question number
Blank
Two
Three
Four
Four
Comes from
Let's call her Hannah
Hey guys
So I work at a hospital
And last week I took care of a really hot patient
All the other nurses were saying how attractive he was
And joking that we would make a cute couple
It was inappropriate at the time
So I didn't do anything about it
But now that he's out of the hospital
I'm trying to decide if I should reach out to him
On a scale of one to ten
How creepy would it be
If I were to friend him on Facebook
Thanks for your help
Love Hannah
This is so like
It's so funny that the memos we get from guys versus girls
The ones we get from guys are like
Hey I've asked this girl out three times
I really want to fucking do it again
But I don't know
Like she's like busted
And like should I still go for it
Yeah this shit goes out with my friend
But like I'm sort of into her
Should I ask her out
Like what are you talking about
And then this
From a girl
The most romantic thing happened to her
Where she took care of a really hot patient
They had this emotional connection
And she's still unsure as to whether or not
It would be too creepy to Facebook him
This is like something out of the movies
Or porn
It's so awesomely hot
This is like the dream
Have you seen the English patient
Or the porno version
Or Christine
Oh shit what is her name
Christina Rose and POV
Fantasy number eight maybe
POV Ray Fiennes
Yeah shit dude just
Just ask
Yes
Just ask him out while he was in the hospital
That's like such a
If I ever went to the hospital
My one hope
Like cause whatever circumstances
You're there under
They obviously suck
Yeah
Like you have an attractive nurse
And then she asks you on a date
When you're better
That's awesome
Yeah if anything you should have done
While he was pumped out on that med
That sweet sweet medicine
That medicine
You're his medicine
Yeah
You need three cc's of you
He needs an IV drip
And those are your initials I think
I wonder if you can stop that
The voice
Alright cool we're having fun
I wonder if you can never do the voice again
What could I do
To ensure that that never has to happen
You're doing it I think
You're shaming me away from it
Alright
You're dangling the carrot of courage
Away from me ever wanting me to do that again
Great great great great
This guy all of his limbs amputated by the way
This girl's such a good person
That she just fell in love with his personality
And she did it
Would it be creepy
Is it ever creepy to friend someone on Facebook
Isn't friending someone so passive
That like how creepy can it be
Like you just
You can refuse that
I guess it's not creepy
But it is blatantly flirty
Especially in this situation
It's always flirty to add someone on Facebook
Right
Yeah that's what I'm saying
But I think that's
I guess like the creepy isn't the right word
That she used
I mean she should be like
Should I be embarrassed to flirt with him this hard
And she shouldn't be embarrassed to flirt with him this hard
Do you ever friend people on Facebook
Or are you one of those people that are like
If they friend me
Like if you got along
If you met a lady and you got along with her very well
Would you friend her
Or would you wait to see if she friended you
I actually I never friend anybody
Anybody
No
Well maybe I think I friended
The last person I friended was a dude
Nick Rad
You my man
I have like guy crushes
And I'll like add them on Facebook
Right cause it's like a chill move
Really girl like girls are so
Girl
That's it
The weirdest thing is like trying to like
Become new friends with guys
She's like alright man yeah let's chill
I like have your numbers
I wanna like text you and hang out
I did it to Kevin Barnett
And I did it to Nick Rad
It's like
Aw man I really hope I like it to hang out
With these dudes again
How do I get your number man
How do I uh
If I want it to hang out with your complex
The least cool I ever
I ever am is
I wanna try to hang out with a guy
Cause you don't know like
Like
I don't know how to be flirting
Yeah it is like it's weird
Some weird version of flirting
Not gay
Not gay
You're my boy
You're my boy dude
Not in a gay way
I'd hook up with you only if it helped us get chicks
Or if you wanted to
And I thought like
I look up to you so I'll pretty much do whatever you want
But I think that like
Facebook friending people is so passive
That I always let a girl do it
Cause then it's like
That's like what girl
That's what they have you know
That's like so
Some guys flirt with girls
And if he succeeds
Then they get the friendship
The Facebook friend request
I may be so
That might be it
Is that like the process
I guess
Well I'm sure some guys like
Added girls as friends on Facebook
Yeah
I don't know what the real process is
But I do think that like
I'm a shameless Facebook flirter
But I like to
I like that one initial um
You need the
You need the confidence of someone
Fronting you
Yeah it's a total confidence boost
You get that friend request
And then you initiate
The like the messaging
You know
Right yeah
I'm gonna rush
My honestly
This is why I'm a
God damn monster
Cause just describing
Facebook flirting to you right now
I just like
My hands started tingling
And I was like yeah
I got excited
I got happy
Do you like that more than sex
In some ways
Yes
You do
In every way
You'd rather
Get a friend request
From a girl you have a crush on
Then sleep with a girl
That you sort of like
Yeah well
I don't know I like doing both
I would rather
I would rather get a text from a girl
That I'm really into
Than
Come inside her
That same woman
That same girl
So the first
I get more of a rush out of the text
The highlight of your relationship with someone
Is before you sleep with them
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
So if they knew
If they really knew
How to get you
They would just never
Now they would text you
But never
You wouldn't even
Never necessarily want to sleep with them
I don't know
I mean there
No there's no
They have no hope
Sorry
I will lose you
You try to like
Figure out some way
To like best me
And uh no
It's uh
The thing is there is no me
So you can't best this
I guess I'm invisible
Believe me I've tried
I'm not only invincible
I am invisible
I look in the mirror
And see absolutely nothing
Invisible
Invisible
And just small
And resistible
I am a
Gone
So I'm no longer here
Emotionally absolutely
Abject vacancy
Just zero of me
Is still here
So uh
Todaraba
Friend the Gimp on Facebook
I really think you should do it
Alright we're talking about that
Yeah friend him
I really hope you have already
Although
Is there a
Is there a time
Like if you
Meet a girl and flirt with her
Is there like
The longer you
The longer she makes you wait
The more excited you'll be
Or like after like
A certain amount of time
You'll stop giving a shit
I'll always be excited
At any point
So whether it's
The next morning
Or three weeks from then
Yeah
I guess I'd probably be more
Excited a little later
But I wouldn't say that's like
A two-breaker
You'd have written it off
And then when it comes in
You're like alright
Awesome
But like then there's also that
That level of like anticipation
Maybe he went home
He's like I wonder if I'll
Get a Facebook friend request
And then he does
And it's like yes I was right
That's kind of cool too
Alright
Alright there you go
There you have it

Alright, let's switch gears
To another guy question
Finally
It's pretty great because it's a...
As we suspected
The complete opposite of what we just read
This one comes from a guy
Who will call Ray
Ray writes
Hey, so me and this girl
Have had a thing going on
For about a month and a half now
But the problem is that she is dating
My best friend
They've been dating for two years
And I just realized
Her and I are great together
I know she likes me
And I like her a lot
So if you were me
Would you back off
And not mess with this relationship
Or would you go for her
And suffer the consequences
I know the obvious choice
Would be the first one
But I really like this girl
Plus she's a dime
Thanks
I just love that he called her a dime
Is she a dime?
She's a goddamn ten-cent piece
I really had my mind made up
Until I heard that last
That last piece of information
Right there
She's two nicks
She's ten pennies, my friend
She's a dime
A goddamn dime
She's an FDR
FDR
You...
I'm just like trying to dissect
This question a little bit
One of them is
One of the things he said
Is he's had a thing going on
With this girl for a month and a half
Yeah
Which is, you know, six weeks
Sure
And then he said
I just realized I liked her
Yeah
So you started fucking her
Six weeks ago
Without really caring that your best friend
Or maybe just friend
Yeah
Wait, did he fuck her?
I mean, he's like
Has a thing
I don't know
He has a thing for her
Oh, a thing for her?
I thought he said with her
So me and this girl
Have had a thing going on
For around a month and a half now
Yeah, that's it
That's fucking
And she's dating my best friend
So, oh
So they're like hooking up
I think they're hooking up
A thing going on
They've been dating for two years now
And I just realized her and I are great together
So his best friend was dating a girl
For two years
He's still dating her
And then he knows
And also don't call it dating
When it's two years
They're in a full-fledged relationship
Look, oh, that sounds so casual
Oh, they're dating
No, they go out with each other
They're a boyfriend and girlfriend
Would you not know your
Best friend's girlfriend
For two years
And he started hooking up
With his random girl
He's like, oh, you're the girl
That he's been dating for years
I'm saying he knew
So you're saying he knew
Yeah
I'm saying this jack-off
Knew his best friend
And his best friend's girlfriend
They'd been together for two years
Yeah
And then they started hooking up
Did it for six weeks
And then he realized, oh, I like her
I like their relationship to end
So I can date her
Right
That's what I'm saying
This is one of those things where
If you guys end up married
Then it's like the most romantic, funny story
Like, how did your parents meet?
Oh, my mom was dating
My dad's best friend
And he broke him up
Well, I guess true romance wins
But if you don't
Then you're just an asshole
Who broke up his best friend
And his girlfriend's relationship
Yeah, it's like 40 years in the future
When you've got like kids
And they're having kids
Then it's like sort of cute
That you guys had some kind of elicit affair
But it's not that cute
And it's definitely not cute right now
So it does not sound like
You like her that much
Well, she's a dime
She's a dime?
That's it
She likes her enough to compare her
To the thinnest coin
I really think you suck, man
I'm only saying it because I've been you
Yeah, I suck is what you mean
Yeah, we suck, me and you
This is coming off of a nurse
Who helped the hot guys
Like, should I friend him on Facebook?
I really feel like creepy or whatever
Oh, yeah, totally, I get that
I actually feel creepy myself
My best friend and his girlfriend
I've been like trying to break up the relationship
For a month and a half
She's a 10 cent piece
Just throwing that out there
You gotta understand, she's a dime
She's a buck and a quarter
If not a penny
So I would say
Leave him alone or go for it
Seize the cheese or you do you
He's already messed this up
There's nothing you can do now
Like you, I guess, Jesus
Jesus
Jesus, you've ruined it
You took your curse and you've ruined everything
You've cursed their entire relationship
I would say
How do you
Meaning
Meaning you gotta seize that cheese
Okay
You're just spouting out some sort of catchphrases
I'm only talking to people who've been listening
Since the beginning
Here's the thing
Regardless of what you say
When you really like someone
You'll do whatever
Right, it doesn't matter what we say
You're already breaking up the relationship
I've never met someone who had such a crush on someone
And they had such a crush on him
But they were like, this is a bad situation
Let's stop
Love and feelings and emotion
Will always cause you to do bad things
Yeah, it's true
Nobody's mature enough to put the kibosh on something
Because it's a bad idea in the future
Which you're definitely not going to do
But let's at least see if you've got the courage
To tell your friend what's going on
So go for it, but at least be open
Or let the girl decide, you know
Maybe it's her decision too
Well, make a mutual decision
But I think you guys should keep in mind
That your friend has a right to know
The end
The end
That's it
That's our last question
That's our last episode
Thank you so much to everyone
Who's listened to this entire show
Harry
That is
Really appreciate you sponsoring
It's an honor
It's an honor
It really is
To have you promote and sponsor
Not only this last episode
But the last thing I'll ever say
Good night, everyone
Good night
Oh, my God, he did it
He did it
He didn't get anything
He didn't get the Cajones
But he did it
All right, folks
This is just Jake coming at you
And I
Oh, I got to call 911
I got to clean this up
Oh, this is bad
This is bad for you, Hurwitz
They're not going to believe you, man
Oh, God
They're blood everywhere
I pray there's a bullet left in this gun here
All right, then
Oh, there's one in the chamber
There's one in the chamber
Oh, thank you, Harry
Oh, click
Oh, God, damn it
What sort of poetic irony is that?
For the prince around the gun
So, who's in there?
Who's in there?
Oh, dear Lord, dear Lord
This turns into some sort of 1930s radio program
Who's in there?
Who done in there, man?
Oh, you don't understand
I've been framed here
Oh, you got to believe me
It's the case of the century, boys
Yes, this one's a real deal, you little pickle
Hurwitz v. Blumenfeld
Two Jews from Lower Manhattan
Two Jews
I say we kill them both
You're already dead
Yeah
Let's take an intermission
Finally
Not only that weird little theater that we did
But from the show itself
We're at, you know, the half an hour mark
Yeah, we clearly need that break
We don't have to be funny
Nope
We just have to be us
Just us
You can turn your brain off
That's nice
You got your STD results back
Yeah, you guys can't say this
But Amir is...
He's massaging me right now
What happened?
First of all, how did it work?
You call?
Yeah, so I went in
Oh, I don't even think I talked about the process of going in
Oh, right
Which was insanely easy
It was like a vending machine, right?
Where you stick your dick into the coin slot
I stuck one arm into it
Into a little slot and my dick into another
And a Mountain Dew came out
I think it was like STD test NY or something
I googled free STD testing in New York
That's what I did
Okay
And I went with a place that had the highest reviews
Went...
I waited literally like three minutes
Filled out some paperwork
Went right in
I got a shot
They drew some blood
They...
I pissed into a little container
And then I went away
And it was incredibly easy
Everybody should do it
I can't believe I waited this long
And then three days later
I called back
I said my name and I asked for my results
And they gave them to me
Shoot me straight, man
I said, you gotta just tell me like it is
Trust me, I'm a good man
I'm a big boy
I can handle this
I'm trying to tell you what they are
You're yelling at me
Yeah, and I can handle whatever you got to say
I need to tell you
Okay
Positive for syphilis
Positive for chlamydia
Positive for herpes
Positive...
No, no, no
All right, so no
Actually, it was negative for everything
Totally
I'm somehow by some miraculous
miraculous turn of events
Stroke of luck
I don't have any STDs
So you could say you told me so
You were right all along
And you've been doing everything the right way
I knew I was clean
I freaking knew it
No, it's kind of surprised
Because when you're waiting
You just build it up in your head
Like, oh, I definitely have everything
I was sure that I had AIDS
But that's the first one they tell you
They're like negative for HIV
Negative for gonorrhea
Negative for syphilis
Negative for herpes
Negative for chlamydia
And I think that was all of them
You do have high cholesterol, though
How do you know, man?
The weird thing is
The weirdest thing was that
Or not weird
I guess this is completely normal for me
But the girl at the STD clinic was, like, super cute
Oh
And I wanted to, like
And we, like, flirted a little bit
When I was, like, getting my...
Filling out my form
And then I, like, had a nice little goodbye
With her when I left
But I knew, like, you can't ask them out
Like, not until after the results
Yeah, what if you're like
Oh, yeah, like, let's go out sometimes
Like, totally, yeah
And then you call and it's like
Um, actually, about that date
You could be like
I don't want to see you
Since I'm so negative, negative
Why don't you tell me how positive you are
That you'd go out with me
You're actually, you do have syphilis
Okay, I seem to have cut you off
A little bit too early in the game
So, yeah, as long as
I guess as long as I had something that was curable
I could have been like, all right
Hey, tell you what
I'm gonna go on some penicillin for a few weeks
I'm curable and you are sick curable
So please, let me take care of you, baby
You don't have to work in that STD clinic
Daddy got you right
I'm gonna take you away from y'all
I'm gonna turn you into a real honest woman
You only need to handle No Man's P anymore
What is this weird Southern thing that we started doing
I don't know how this happened
Oh
I just hope it's not racist
Yeah, I think it's not
It's not unless you thought it was
It's weird because like
And then it's your racist for thinking that
There's so many movies with like racist people
with Southern accent
Like any Southern accent just sounds vaguely racist
Yeah, that's not our fault
No, it's the South's fault
Y'all shouldn't have fought on the wrong side of the Civil War, should ya?
Not even you guys
Like you shouldn't have even grown up
in a place that fought on the wrong side of the Civil War
It's not on us
Your grandparents should have had the wherewithal to move
At the very least
Maybe they did from New York to Georgia
at some point north of the Mason Dixon
All right, should we get to one last question?
Let's try
This one comes from another lady
Duda
Duda
Three ladies
Duda day
Oh wait, no, this is the second lady
Yeah
All right, we'll call her Marnie
Marnie
Marnie
Come on, take the Marnie and run
Good morning, Vietnam
Good morning, good morning, good morning
What is that one?
It's a Beatles song
Oh, nice
All right, ready?
My boyfriend and I just broke up
and I've been pretty miserable and sad
He cheated on me and broke my heart
Meanwhile, my best friend slash woman
has just fallen in love with a rich good-looking
young, great guy
I know I should be happy for her
but I can't help but just want to punch her in the face
whenever she tells me how great everything is going
How do I tell her I don't want to hear about it
until my heart has been mended?
Thanks, Marnie
Hmm
Yeah, your best friend has to understand
the world's about you, right?
Oh my God
The world revolves around you
Marnie
No
Yeah
That's what you got
I really think that's what she thinks
Yeah, you think
Yeah
I'm going to tell her like it is
Yeah, this is the world's smallest violin
and I'm going to break it off your goddamn skull
Okay?
Is there an amount this girl could be rubbing it in
for you to feel bad for her?
Yeah, I don't know
That's kind of tough, actually
Because, you know, usually you got your heart broken
That sucks
You don't want to hear about somebody else's great life
Maybe she's talking about it too much
because sometimes when things are really great
you do want to talk about it a lot
Yeah
It's tough
It's tough
I'm going to pass
I don't give a shit enough about this question
to justify it with an answer
We're going to pass on this question, huh?
Yeah, so, yes, order
Order in this courtroom
I won't have it
I won't hit you
I'm judging
I don't know
I think that you could probably tell her
I don't think you could be like
hey, I want to punch you in the face
just like shut up
don't tell me anything
Maybe you should just do it
Yeah, you should just punch her
Just punch her
Just ask her to be sensitive
She should be like
I know I'm like super happy for you
but I'm like I can't help
feel sorry for myself every time
to hear this stuff
Can you please just like, you know
Dial it down
Like you're out of nine
and I need you out of five
Right, I think there's a balance
that you guys can find
because you also
she's your friend
you have to be happy for her
Yeah, and or, or, or
you can say hey
at least someone in my life is happy
and that's considered a good thing for me
Like, yeah, I feel terrible about myself
but that doesn't mean I'm going to
make myself feel bad
when I hear about other people's love
just because I'm poor
doesn't mean I get jealous, angry
and enraged when someone else
wins the lottery
You do, yeah, you get really mad
Like when any of our friends
find success and like
makes money doing something
you get really pissed
I feel nothing but greed and jealousy
Yeah, you ask for a cut
I've seen you hit up
every single one of our friends
who like came into any money
Well, I say, what's your salary?
Can you imagine if it was 99% of that
would you really be that pissed
if you gave me 1% of that?
You would never miss like
a penny from a big jar of change
Yeah, it's a drop in the bucket
If everyone gave me 1% of their salary
I wouldn't have to work a goddamn day in my life
and nobody's given me money so far
A couple of people have beaten you up about it
Right?
Actually, everyone had
That's why I'm so poor
They all beat me up and take my money
You've got the highest
the highest beat-up rate of anybody
I've ever seen
What's the beat-up rate?
How do you quantify that?
I don't know
People you approach over a hundred
Yeah, it's just like so
I guess 8 out of 10 of your conversations
end with somebody at least accosting you
So the ratio is people you approach that beat you up
over how many people you approach total
Oh my god, I'm going to beat you up right now
No
I just want to know if we're talking about
You're trying to make it math
We're talking about ratios and shit
You're trying to make it math or whatever
You're trying to make it science
Yeah, science, bitch
So I'm going to take it one step
in a different direction and say
you should evaluate what it says about yourself
that hearing about someone
that your best friend
gaining happiness makes you sad
I don't think that's fair
That is very fair
I actually don't think that's fair
That should make you as happy as you try
trying to find true love
If you find true love and if someone else does
that should be the same thing for you
if they're best friends
It's too the same, you know
I just got my heart broken and my best friend
just found love
It's like that's a gut punch
If it's like I just got my heart broken
and my best friend just won the lottery
That's totally different
It's like, oh, I can be happy for you
You got some kind of promotion at work
That's something that you can almost distract
your broken heart from
So if you lost your job today
and you were depressed
and I got cast on a TV show
would that make you extra depressed?
Yes, of course
Or would you be happy for me?
There'd be part of me that would be happy for you
but if I got...
I guess that's like even...
I got cast on a TV show
What the fuck? Am I fired?
If I got fired and you got a big promotion
I would be pretty sad
That would hurt my feelings
I'd be upset
It would be very hard for me to be totally happy for you
To be disconnected from those two things
You could do that?
Not only could I
but I would
I would feel nothing
It wouldn't even make me sad to be fired
knowing that you got a promotion
I would step down today
if they would just agree to it
Okay, I don't know if I would do...
I don't know if I would agree to that
the stepping down thing
I quit if American have all my salary
That's what I would do
So yeah, try to...
If you want to let her know
Do it so...
Try to let her know that you're sensitive
about this kind of stuff
Or you can try to find happiness in it
That's what I say
I say let her happiness be your happiness
and don't make it so it makes you less upset
Right, and I would say that...
Of course you're gonna be upset
I would never tell you how to feel
I would never tell you to be happy
You're beautiful
I think that's irresponsible of someone to do
I think it's irresponsible for somebody to say
Try to be happy
You know what?
Feel your broken heart
That's fine
That's beautiful
But you know what?
If your friend's making you feel like garbage
you just have to tell her
in an honest, perfect, beautiful way
that she's just...
She's gotta dial it down
If I could just get in there
I would never say there's an honest, perfect, beautiful way
I would also never say
You gotta be happy
I don't sound like that
I would say what you're doing
is your advice is bad
and mine is good
So I would follow my advice over yours
If I could just jump in here
I think your advice is...
It's unattainable
You're trying to ask somebody
not to feel emotions
that they're gonna feel naturally
So I'm saying
here's a way you can deal with these emotions
and you're saying
don't feel the emotions
Do you see how this is like
sort of an impossible thing to achieve?
I think for you it is impossible
because you're not even willing to work on it
You're saying, okay, don't change
don't try to become a better person
and I'm saying
maybe deep down inside
there is somebody who can attain the impossible
I hate to cut you off
but I'm gonna jump in here
I feel like you do like cutting me off
I feel like you do like cutting me off
You're getting combative
You're very combative
I don't think
I don't feel that I am
If I am, please let me know
I'll totally back off
I appreciate that
I really do
It's not a problem
We're stabbing each other
You are just pressing down on my foot
so hard bones are breaking
and I get that
I really do
and look, I appreciate that
I'm not gonna tell you
to be any different than how you are
but not being different than how you are
sort of leads people to never grow
emotionally if that makes sense
I wouldn't ask you to do that either
I'm not saying you're a bad person
because I don't think you know any better
and that's okay
I feel like I'm blaming your ignorance
not your lack of smarts
Am I even
I don't know if I'm using too big of words
because your vocabulary is so limited
but if I keep talking in this cadence
you'll eventually understand me
So patronizing
Patronizing
Patronizing
How dare you
How dare you do you
Alright
I'm tired of shit
Yeah me too
