Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a headgum podcast. If I were your show, it'd be email.com If you're lonely, sad, and home early tonight There's a podcast just for you to confuse, hold your time If I weren't you, it's the name of the Google on your phone Jake and Amir will interpret all your mom Send them an email Love that twangy shit
Starting point is 00:01:02 That was bluegrass That was bluegrass Coming from High and Lonesome Band The High and Lonesome Band A bluegrass band in You'll Never Guess the State You'll Never Guess the State No Oh, alright, so it's not the obvious
Starting point is 00:01:17 No, no, no Okay, Maine No Okay, okay, let's, I only guessed two I feel like I should get at least 49 guesses E With 49 guesses, do you think I would get it? It's really low, it's really low down there
Starting point is 00:01:33 Hawaii That's correct Really? Yeah, that's Hawaii Alright Yeah I guess it was like ukulele E, so there was the Hawaiian I mean, I definitely, I did not, I was trying to guess
Starting point is 00:01:48 places that bluegrass would not come from Hawaii is probably the furthest state from Kentucky At least geographically Yeah, geographically If not alphabetically Well, definitely not alphabetically Alright, what would be the furthest state from Kentucky Alphabetically
Starting point is 00:02:02 Ooh, is K in the first half of this? Oh, I guess Alabama No, that's, yeah, from A to K is like 12 letters apart I guess there's no X, Y, Z state, right? Wyoming is the last Yeah, is it? Yeah, so the question is, is Kentucky closer to Wyoming or Alabama? It's really cool
Starting point is 00:02:24 Let's find out Alphabetically, oh god, now we're gonna have to figure this out Somebody's listening to this podcast for the first time Make your guess at home, play along with us How sure are you? Say it out loud so we can hear That I think, I guess I'm not sure at all I'm gonna go, my guess being that Alabama's further
Starting point is 00:02:49 Oh, Alabama's further Then Wyoming from Kentucky Yeah, Alabama is very close to Kentucky So this list I'm looking at has four columns of states And Kentucky Are we talking about alphabetically or geographically? Alphabetically I'm saying, okay, A is further from K
Starting point is 00:03:08 Then W is from K, that's my guess Right, that's incorrect So the first two, a lot of states are in the back half of the alphabet So this list is four columns of states from Alabama to Illinois Then Indiana to Montana And Kentucky's at the top of that second column And that doesn't include the second half of the states Which is Nebraska to Pennsylvania and then Rhode Island to Wyoming
Starting point is 00:03:33 What skews it is all these V and W's We got Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming We got a ton in the back half of the alphabet I see So Kentucky is closer to Alabama alphabetically But far from Hawaii geographically Okay, so here's another question for you Yeah
Starting point is 00:03:54 K is what number letter in the alphabet? Oh, I believe it is M is 13, so K would be 11 I see, so K is closer to A I'm not writing any way basically Oh, I don't know K is closer to W I don't know
Starting point is 00:04:09 YZ is 24, 25, 26 So W is 23 K is 11 And A is 1 So K is closer to A Alphabetically, just if you lay out the letters So you're clear? That's what I was guessing
Starting point is 00:04:29 Got it But you did say Hawaii very quickly That was good Let's all rewind to the first part of the podcast Where I got the bluegrass answer in three guesses There's a new Hampshire? What's that one? All right, that was high on Lonesome Band
Starting point is 00:04:48 I said it's Kate and Mike Kate and Mike, thanks for that Thanks Our first bluegrass cover I feel like bluegrass should be more famous Is it a cover? Yeah, it's a cover of Caleb Clouder's Sick, Sad and Lonesome, of course
Starting point is 00:05:02 You could have told us it was an original Yeah That would have been fine If it's a bluegrass cover, it's an original Yeah, because I'd never heard it, so it's original Yeah, unless it's wagon wheel Oh, that's a good one That's bluegrass, but that's the one bluegrass song everyone knows
Starting point is 00:05:18 So that you can cover Everything else is an OG Congratulations, thank you And thank you for listening to If I Were You The only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us I'm Amir And I'm Jake First time in a while, it's just us two

Starting point is 00:06:25 Got it So when were you in West Virginia, for example? Road trip Oh, you drove through it Yeah, I don't think we stayed in West Virginia We probably stayed in Virginia Naturally Arkansas, same thing, road trip

Starting point is 00:06:57 Yeah Jersey, I'm sure you did, accidentally We talked about, yeah, we were Jersey Yeah, it was like five minutes away We went to a wedding in Philadelphia What's wrong with you? You're looking at Connecticut's where I'm fucking from
Starting point is 00:07:14 Jesus Christ, you're falling apart Why do you say continental U.S.? You've never been to Alaska? I've never been to Alaska So the last two states that I've never been to are Alaska and North Dakota The coldest states Interesting
Starting point is 00:07:25 Maybe you should have your bachelor party there I was thinking about having it in Alaska Are there, is there shit to do up there? That's what I don't know We'd have, you know what we would do? We would spend the majority of time at Nome Which is where the, I did arrive The dog racing is
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yeah And we would just watch the dog's race And we would get, we would drink and watch the The dog's just Race Race I don't know if you get to watch it You don't get to watch it, but there's TV in the cabin
Starting point is 00:07:56 Yeah, they go off into the back, the rural area So you're not allowed there But it's gonna be an awesome time Let me plan it I'll think about it I'd rather not I don't know if I want to do the intro Well I'm gonna do it
Starting point is 00:08:07 And we're gonna do it there And I already got us the fucking dogs And there's an Airbnb in Nome And Nome, nobody knows how isolated it is up there You can see Russia from there I do want to, I do want to like Figure out the, I want to see like the Northern Lights That'd be kind of cool to do on my bachelor party
Starting point is 00:08:32 But then also part of me is like Mexico City would be fun Oh yeah You want to go somewhere you've been before Somewhere new I would go somewhere I've been before Really the ideal place that I want to go is Reykjavik I want to go back to Iceland
Starting point is 00:08:45 But you've been there twice Yeah So you're like, should I go back to a place I've been twice Right Three times in Iceland I mean I could, I would definitely do it But I guess I also, I wonder if there's a place that I haven't been That's got that same vibe that's got like
Starting point is 00:08:58 Yeah Have you ever been to South America? No That's an entire continent you've never been to Yeah We've got a lot of options there You think we could get people to go to South America For my bachelor party?
Starting point is 00:09:08 Well I don't care about other people So it'd be me, you, about two weeks We can do two weeks in Paraguay Here I'm on Kayak Give me your social security number You're planning my honeymoon at this point I don't want to We could do a week and a half at Rio Carnival
Starting point is 00:09:20 We need a week, alright We'll have to miss a I'd rather do the Iditarod Alright, okay, just book that one Are you okay with missing just a slice of your rehearsal dinner? We'll get there before Vows If all goes well Alright, let's answer some questions
Starting point is 00:09:36 After all, this is an advice podcast We're here to dispense some wisdom Including one to this 17 year old girl who wonders Am I a snake? Okay Am I a snake? What an interesting, interesting question Let's get to the details
Starting point is 00:09:53 You think she's actually talking about like a Slytherin serpent snake? I don't Okay, yeah, I think it's about a four Got it We'll call this one Sydney D. Alaska Very good
Starting point is 00:10:06 Because she's from Sydney, Alaska And she writes I'm a 17 year old girl in high school And a huge fan of your show Basically, I have a crush on a good friend's ex And I feel like a knob My friend dated this guy a year ago And about a month
Starting point is 00:10:22 For only about a month But he was kind of a dick when they broke up Fast forward, he's 10 times hotter now And still douchey But generally a much better person My friend has moved on But the main problem here is that we spent the past year Roasting this dude to smithereens
Starting point is 00:10:37 We usually just make fun of him for being a wiener But I've since befriended him And I think he's changed Last weekend, I hooked up with him Nothing crazy Third base at a party And I felt like I felt like I had to tell my friends about it
Starting point is 00:10:52 I had to tell my friends about it Who then started roasting the shit out of me I told him I was hammered And that it was a one time thing But now he wants to hang out And I'm feeling sneaky Any guidance? Please, I really want to fuck this guy
Starting point is 00:11:06 And hang out with him Without making my friends hate me Much love from Canada That could be a good option too Montreal, if you thought about that I have, but we were there so recently Alright 17 year old girl
Starting point is 00:11:19 An ex-boyfriend that she just spent a year making fun of Now she went to third base with him at a party Which is very far, if you ask me That's oral I'm sorry, grandpa blew me That's actually not oral That's the furthest you can get It's not oral
Starting point is 00:11:33 Third base isn't oral It's fingering That's not oral What's fucking oral about that? Still It's private parts Don't say still After you said something it wasn't
Starting point is 00:11:44 You say it's blowing someone You say no it's not And you go still It's fingering Still, it's something different It's still something far It's past second base Yeah, I mean in a baseball game
Starting point is 00:11:57 That's a good That's a rare hit Yeah Home runs are more popular than triples I feel like that's kind of true There's probably a time In your life when Like, this is
Starting point is 00:12:09 Nevermind, this isn't a fucking original observation Let's hear it Where home runs become Way more than norm than like Fingering in second base Yeah, that's like in baseball Like an unassisted triple plays The most rare thing
Starting point is 00:12:23 But it's not like It doesn't look that cool It's either first or home I think that like As you get older it's sort of Whatever You're either kissing or you're fucking Or you're home with your dick in your head
Starting point is 00:12:33 Like me Rod So this girl Is feeling snakey But it's She actually likes the guy Yeah He's actually a
Starting point is 00:12:47 Seemingly slightly better person And he's hotter So the only The only problem is that Your friends don't like him So the question really boils down to Like, is it like Can I hook up with this guy
Starting point is 00:13:00 Even though my friends And me have made fun of him a lot Yeah And now that she's like worried That they're gonna start making fun of her It sounds like she already backed off Like when they started As soon as she said that
Starting point is 00:13:10 She hooked up with them And they were making fun of her She's like, I was trashed I was trashed Yeah If he's really hot That they're not gonna really Make fun of you
Starting point is 00:13:19 Like they can only make fun of you So much if he's really hot The problem is that He's a douchebag too She said he was a better person But still douchey Yeah Can you imagine
Starting point is 00:13:30 How much worse he was That he's gotten much better But still a douche Also, but when you're like If it was a year ago Then he was like 16 And who's like a really great 16-year-old
Starting point is 00:13:42 Except probably Jeffrey James Yeah, he was a good 16-year-old I bet Cause it was like two years ago Yeah He seems fine now Totally Like we met him at age 17
Starting point is 00:13:51 And he was alright He was good Yeah Any guidance Do you want to Would you go for it With somebody that all your friends disliked Yeah, totally
Starting point is 00:14:00 I think that you gotta You just gotta power through People can reimagine their Opinions on somebody Especially when it's this young Like if you just keep on hooking up with him It will eventually shift to being normal You probably have to stand up
Starting point is 00:14:25 For him a little bit Yeah You don't have to like Get into a weird contentious fight With your friends But like laugh it off He's actually cool now Like you guys should hang out with him
Starting point is 00:14:34 Yeah And you can It win hearts and minds That's what it's all about It might not end well But you're 17 So that's also fine Like you're supposed to do
Starting point is 00:14:42 Some bad things now And then you'll learn from Your mistake if you don't like it So I say just go for it Regardless of if it'll work out or not Right The thing that you want to avoid Which I do understand is like
Starting point is 00:14:52 If she just rejects her friends Or like whatever Fuck you guys I'm gonna hook up with this dude Then there's like She could lose the war of You know like her friends Just continue to talk shit
Starting point is 00:15:04 About this guy And then they start talking shit About her and both of them And their relationship So you really I think you have to remain The middle man And try to bridge the gap
Starting point is 00:15:13 If you can Between the douche and the friends Yeah Reintroduce him to the group Tell them what you like about him See if you can Just get some converts You need a couple of people
Starting point is 00:15:24 On your side to be like Oh we were wrong about douchey Mingyi guy That's good Can you say that she has to Reintroduce Oh good Reintroduce
Starting point is 00:15:34 Ta-da Here's a similar But different question From a different lady Who's a sophomore in college Or freshman in college We'll call this lady Chile F. Barcelona
Starting point is 00:15:46 Nice These are all just places We might go on my bachelor party That's right I love it Chile F. Barcelona Right Hey guys
Starting point is 00:15:55 Listen Our second time email Or my problem is this I'm really close friends With my roommate She's one of my best friends But recently I found her guy best friend
Starting point is 00:16:03 On Tinder We both swiped right And talked a little bit But I asked my roommate About it And she said that she was Not okay with me And her guy best friend
Starting point is 00:16:11 Having a relationship Of any kind I told her that I understood Because I do And nothing would happen Well He and I were the last two Awake at a Halloween party
Starting point is 00:16:20 Recently Nothing would happen And then something fucking happens And a fucking course We hooked up I told my roommate About it the next morning And I apologized a lot
Starting point is 00:16:29 She's not thrilled But she forgave me Here's my question How do I continue To have a good relationship With my roommate After I betrayed her trust And how should you
Starting point is 00:16:37 Approach interactions With the boy They're good friends So I'm sure I'll see him more How do you have A casual platonic relationship With someone
Starting point is 00:16:45 Who's seen your vagina And who you're Really attracted to She actually said Who's seen your pussy I don't know I edited on the day Who's seen your pussy
Starting point is 00:16:56 And who you're Really attracted to Thanks And then she emailed us Again seven days later Well, we fucked It was awesome No regrets
Starting point is 00:17:04 There we go That's new I knew it was trending there And that's where My advice is going to Your friend doesn't Get to make the rules I think that
Starting point is 00:17:12 All you can really do Is be like Hey, I'm sorry That it makes you uncomfortable But I like this guy He likes me He likes me We're gonna fucking
Starting point is 00:17:21 Go for it It's really It's a two on one Whenever there's a try at Two people make the rules And one person has to deal with it Right She has to live with it
Starting point is 00:17:29 She's like It's friends with this guy The last And like This guy would not think You were a great friend If you knew that You're standing in the way of
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah Him Like finding Finding somebody That he likes Is there anything Beyond jealousy Is there any case
Starting point is 00:17:45 To stand on Beyond I'm jealous I want to be with him Like why would you say You can't be with him Maybe that if there are two Good friends I mean
Starting point is 00:17:54 It's jealousy across the board To some extent I think But like Maybe she just doesn't want to To change the dynamic To like see it get awkward Maybe she knows this guy's Behavior
Starting point is 00:18:05 And she's like No, he's gonna hook up with you And then he's not gonna Talk to you anymore And it's gonna be weird Or maybe that's That's the case with the girl So she is just worried about
Starting point is 00:18:15 The aftermath If it doesn't go well Maybe she's worried about If it does go well Maybe she's pushed out And these people become In a really good relationship And they don't need her anymore
Starting point is 00:18:23 I guess personally Maybe she likes her It can't end well There's only bad I don't think that's I mean What if she Really is just
Starting point is 00:18:32 This guy's best friend And she likes her roommate a lot And then her best friend And her other good friend Are in a relationship And they try to spend time With all of them That sounds nice
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah, I guess that's Best case scenario But it seems like When things Like you said Are trending toward something You can't stop the Chemistry train
Starting point is 00:18:53 No, you really can't Once it's leaving the station You can't do people Who really want to Have sex Not do it Because somebody Would be uncomfortable
Starting point is 00:19:02 When you introduced The forbidden aspect That is It's just pouring Fucking gas On the flame Yeah, you know What else is funny
Starting point is 00:19:10 We were the last two awake At a Halloween party It made me think about How many parties Just end with like It's like this weird contest Of like I got to stay
Starting point is 00:19:19 I'm not going to fall asleep Because the last two people awake It's like that contest Where you're touching a car And the last person touching it Gets to win it Yeah That's what it is
Starting point is 00:19:28 Like guys and girls Just fighting to stay awake To be the last resort For each other It's true And also It's funny to me That this sounds like
Starting point is 00:19:36 Oh, we were the last two people That stayed up at this Halloween party Like so it was a coincidence And one thing led to another And like Both of them stayed Like very much so Like you cannot fall asleep
Starting point is 00:19:46 Right That wasn't a coincidence That was a choice To stay awake And hook up with the guy And that's fine Because it is It's totally legal
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yeah, and then there's like The friends who are just like Happen to be awake And you're like Just go to sleep Go to fucking sleep already Christ, it's 418 Why are you awake?
Starting point is 00:20:03 You guys want to watch a movie? No, I don't want to watch a movie I wanted to fucking Wet cuddle with somebody I want to kiss her But you want to watch a film Alright, so again Go for it
Starting point is 00:20:16 Again, go for it Go for it And she already did It was so funny The follow up just said Well, we fucked It was awesome, no regrets I like that she's
Starting point is 00:20:24 She's being pretty up front With the roommate But I think you just got it And not make promises That you can't keep Yeah, it's easy to say Fine, I won't do it Because it's weird to be like
Starting point is 00:20:32 Actually, I'm going to do it I'm going to go for it And then you don't get it And then you're like Oh, shit But I think it's natural To be like Hey, I won't do anything
Starting point is 00:20:40 But then like to come back And be like Things are happening I don't know what to tell you I'm sorry I don't know why I said I wouldn't do anything But it's because
Starting point is 00:20:48 Yeah, it would have been bad If you're like I'm fucked that He's mine And I want him It's like Okay, he rejected me Anyway, let's hang out again
Starting point is 00:20:56 I'm going to fucking go for it It's all the bad ones That would be good T9 Anyway, what were we Up to this weekend? I believe you wanted to Go to the mall
Starting point is 00:21:07 That's another thing We can do We can go to the mall of America Ah For my bachelor party? Yeah, because there's like It's so big And there's so many stores
Starting point is 00:21:16 There's a ride in it Yeah So we can go on a ride I don't want to do that But thank you I actually don't even know If you're going to be invited up I know that's

Starting point is 00:31:34 A Game of Thrones fan Because I have a stack Of Game of Thrones themed Coasters And I thought If she watched the show I could give her some of them And it would be a small
Starting point is 00:31:43 Nice gesture Came time to leave For the party And still no response So I decided I'd abandon The coaster idea Since it wouldn't be
Starting point is 00:31:51 A big deal to show Without a gift No one brings presents Anymore Now Monday rolls around And my friend Finally responds To the message
