If I were you
Would you run if I asked a question
Would you try to give me advice
Would you laugh if I had a problem
Or would you seize the cheese tonight
Would you be my hero, Jakey
With your best friend Amir
Would the Game Boy choose my question
If I were you
Starts here
Would you be my hero, Jakey
Would you be my hero, Jakey
Would you be my hero, Jakey
Would you be my hero, Jakey
Would you be my hero, Jakey
Because Tuesday just gets me wet
For the ultimate night
Absolutely soppy
That's when we kill ourselves
Yeah
What about Thursday?
That's the worst day
Suicide Thursday?
You can go to hell
Thursday is the new Sunday
And we all know Sunday is the fifth worst day
Not including Saturday
Oh yeah Saturday is the best though
You know why Saturday is so good
Because it's close to Tuesday
Wrong
This is If I Were You
The only advice podcast on the internet
That also tackles the issue
The hard hitting issue of ranking days
I'm Amir
I'm Jakey
What's that?
Jake, I was going to say Joshua
And then I sort of got scared
It sounded like you had a French name
That you don't know how to pronounce
Jakeyua
I am Jackwickwe
Like your name is Jacques
But you're an American who can't pronounce it correctly
Jacques
I'm enjoying a
A pompomous
Lacroix
Are you side sponsored by them?
Is that why you bring them up so specifically?
No, but I do
I would love more pompomous
Lacroix
You're hoping someone from
Lacroix is listening and sends you some
Amazing
I really just wanted to say pompomous
I see
Is pompomous mean grapefruit?
Yes
Oh it does
That's why they say that
So every other flavor
The English word for it, grapefruit
They have the French name for it
And then in parentheses underneath it
It says grapefruit
I also believe I've seen
Grapefruit Lacroix
So they make two versions of it
One called grapefruit, one called pompomous
It's like the subtle difference between
Jacques and Jake
Jacques
So how does this show work?
Do you have any idea?
Yeah, we
We get emails from people
Who are in sticky situations
Or faxes
Or faxes, we do have
Fax Machine, the number for that is
955
5555
5555
5555
And we do our best to
Advise them out of it as
Expert Jew Boys
We are Expert Jew Boys
That fax number again is 917
5555
5555
5555
5555
Oh we're getting one
It is a swastika
Of course
Absolutely that makes sense
They mean well
They don't, that's why they sent that
They mean poor
They mean bad
It's not welcome
What did you say?
So this email is from a real human
With a guy's name
But we don't want to say the guy's name
We don't want to out him
NoSiriBob
That's his name?
Very cool
NoSiriBob writes, I like this email
It really tells a story
Close your eyes, whether you're driving or not
Pay attention, ready?
NoSiriBob writes, I'm an 18 year old from England
Here I went on my first lads holiday
With six other friends to Ibiza
Ibiza
I took a pill in Ibiza
As I'm sure you can imagine it was a week of absolute
Carnage to say the least
Combining dancing, drinking
And girls
Girls
This is where slight moral dilemma comes into play
Now don't get me wrong, I'm an okay looking dude
However on one of my final days
I got with a girl who was honestly a perfect woman
Talking a 10 out of 10 smoke show
Now as I mentioned I'm 18
And this chick was a 28 year old nurse
So obviously spending my whole night
Making out with this girl
I was proud to say
The least
But then as we were talking
Things began to take a turn
Suddenly she started talking about herself
And I found out she not only has a 6 year old child
She also has a
Fiancé of 7 years
Oh shit
As I'm a disgraced human
Stop me and if anything it turned me on
A little bit more
In the end we never went back to her hotel
Or anything and then as it was my last night
That was the end of it all
She added herself on my facebook during the night
But I know obviously I definitely
Should not message her however
Would you still say I've done something wrong
Am I a bad person
Because in all honesty
I'm sort of proud of my achievement
I know that makes me sound like a douche male
But I may as well be honest
With you guys
I know we didn't have sex so it's probably not quite as edgy
As it would have been if we had gone the whole way
However I do sort of feel
There's a moral implication here
Love the show and really hope a season 2
Of Lonely and Horny is just around the corner
Much love, No Surrey Bob
No Surrey Bob
Wants to know if he should be proud or ashamed
Permission to feel honored sir
I don't want to be
Proud of me
I think I hooked up with a
8 year old diamond
I'm sort of ashamed but I want to feel happy
I feel a swell rising in my heart
And I don't know if I'm allowed to feel it
I need the green light
To let these emotions come over me
Is it a douche to be proud of me
Proud means happy for someone else
I don't think it means for someone else
Like I have pride in something
Otherwise isn't it just happiness
You couldn't be proud of yourself
Proud of yourself for what
When you ran your marathon were you proud of yourself
In general
You can
I don't think pride means
It's not allowed to be for you
To me when you
I think we were talking about pride in a couple episodes ago
And like what makes pride so interesting
And a
Sort of
Genuinely nice emotion
Is the fact that you're feeling this joy
For something that you didn't necessarily do
You feel it for somebody else
He wants to feel pride in him
Yeah but you can feel pride
For yourself
That's not illegal
Would you feel proud for doing this
Yeah
I would feel proud
I think that you could have two emotions
You could feel proud that you hooked up with somebody
That was really really hot
And you could also feel a little
A little skeezed out by yourself
That it was under
You know some shady circumstances
This guy is half bragging to us
Saying ooh I feel like a douchebag
Yeah but he also liked the fact that she had a fiance
Oh yeah that got him off
I think you could be proud about
Something like a hook up in a
Visa with
Somebody that like
Had a fiance I think that's cool
I think it's not cool if he was like
Proud of continuing
This and destroying the marriage and
So you're saying because they
Didn't sleep with he didn't sleep with her
It's not that big of a deal
And he can be fully proud
I'm gonna give you the green light
On feeling fully proud of what you did
Okay I'm gonna say
Let's stop short of pride
Let's reserve pride for
Something a little bit less
Sticky like
Hooking up with someone that isn't
Engaged to be married to somebody
Yeah so you're allowed to feel happy but not proud
Yeah proud let's save
Proud for like it's like charitable
You can't feel like it's not
100% genuine pride because
At the end of the day there's an angry
Fiance involved
I can't walk my
I'm not gonna walk my answer back
But I do think you are right
You're going on record
As saying what you said you said
But you're wrong about it
Yeah I think you probably nailed it
A little bit better
So you can feel proud of yourself for that
I'm proud of you
For admitting it
I'm proud of you and I'm proud of myself
For being somebody that someone else
Is proud of
What kind of sociopath is like
Can I feel this pride
Have you ever heard like people describe like that
He was a proud man
What did he do
Why was he proud in general
I'm proud
I'm just loud and proud about it
I don't know I'm just proud
Hi are you very proud
I would describe myself as having
pride
Yeah I can't stress how proud I am
Zellistness of pride for myself
Inside
I've got pride inside
Would you abide by my pride
His email is titled 98% proud
2% shame
That sounds you could go a little
A little heavier on the shave
Where would you put that knob
80
I don't like to dip below 80 on the pride
20% shame
I think that's me all the time by the way
80% proud
Shamed
Good balance for your life
And if they had sex
50-50
Same way
Folks
I would say
Making out with someone who's engaged is
25% proud
75% shame
But she was so hot
I didn't think about it that way
Yeah and there are sort of no rules in Ibiza
I think there really aren't
I've never been but I would love to go
It seems like Ibiza is Vegas
Times 6 without the casinos or something
Yeah
Vegas meets Miami meets
Shangri-La meets
Raven's nest
Meets take a pill in Ibiza
I'd like to take a chill pill in Ibiza
Ooh that's a cool
A Nyquil
If we were still working at College Humor
It would have not been green lit but we would have made it
I took Nyquil in Ibiza
Oh yeah
To show Avicii I had a cold
It's about a guy who goes to Ibiza to party
But gets sick
That would be really sad to have a cold in Ibiza
Yeah
It doesn't prevent you from going out
At the same time like you're sneezing
Yeah you can't exactly jump
Imagine having a cold at a club
That's how I felt when we were on tour
Remember the last night
Remember the last night we were
In Vancouver
This past one in London
I was like on the cusp of getting sick
I was obsessed with just staving it off
Just till the next day
Just like a sweaty dance room
Everyone's fucking grinding up against each other
And you have to sneeze
Yeah your nose is running
Sorry I shouldn't have this shot
I have a sore throat
I really need to get rest Avicii
I want you to think
I'm cool Avicii
So you can feel some level of pride
Some level of shame
Jake says 80-20
I say 25-75
