A little bit of sleep.
Oh, and guess what?
It's sleeting, though.
It's a little bit of sleep, though.
A little bit of sleep.
Oh, sleet-sleet, motherfucker.
Oh, sleet-sleet.
Whoa!
Nice!
That was written by 50th cent.
50th cent?
50th cent.
50th cent?
Yes, 50th cent.
Are you serious?
No, it's just a 50th cent cover.
It was written by Wilson Desimone,
who wanted to give his girlfriend, Elena,
a shout out.
They're both big fans of the show.
I love that.
I love it even more,
because I'm a huge 50th cent fan,
and for him to do the remix
is a little bit of sleet, though.
A little bit of sleet, though.
And guess what else?
There's a little bit of sleet, though.
It's funny to like sleet,
which I think is the worst precipitation.
Nobody likes sleet, right?
It's wet snow, it's ice.
Only if it's a little bit.
It's a freezing rain?
There might be just a little bit of a sleet, though.
Nobody likes the sleet,
even if you can like the snow,
or like the rain.
It's just got a bad name.
It's got a bad rap.
And rightfully sleet, though.
He's got a soundcloud.
And it appears to be soundcloud.com
slash willy, willy, willy, willy.
Four willies.
Four willies.
That's good. It's like free willy, but four willy.
Oh, nice. Well done.
So thanks for that.
Thanks for that remix of a little bit of sleet, though.
A little bit of sleet, though.
Today is actually Rosh Hashanah,
the first day of the Jewish New Year.
Happy New Year, Bub.
Can you believe it? Do you know what Jewish New Year it is?
I think it's 48, 9.
It is
5, 7, 7, 8.
Wow.
Or maybe that was last year.
And now it's 5, 7, 7, 9.
So, is it?
Alright, so the Christian calendar
only measures the years
after Jesus came.
And before Jesus was alive.
Yeah, so they're like, oh, this is
28 BC.
That's right.
But either way,
they only go back 5,000
years.
The Jewish calendar starts with the beginning
of the Bible
or the beginning of time as
dictated by the Bible.
So it's like zero was
God created the heavens and earth.
And then 5,779
years later, according to
the lunar calendar, because we
follow the moon and not the sun.
But then they talk about dinosaurs
being 130 million years ago.
But there's no dinosaurs in the Bible.
There's no date though. There's no being like
oh yeah, the Mesozoic era
was
Yeah, when Moses was there.
They do that with
BC, but not with Jewish calendar.
The Jewish calendar is not like
there's not even a BC.
No, the dinosaurs were in zero.
No, there's no dinosaurs.
Yeah, before time.
The Jewish people know there's dinosaurs, right?
Yeah, but I wonder what year they
thought that was in the Jewish calendar.
They think God created
dinosaurs. That's right.
And Abraham actually wrote a freaking stegosaurus.
And Moses,
he was on a T-rex.
I mean, why not just be like
oh yeah, all that shit was before God?
You know, I feel like there's
an intelligent way to answer the question.
I don't know, because I know that it's 5779,
but I don't know where they put
dinosaurs on that list.
Because even the dinosaurs are different times too.
You know, the stegosaurus wasn't the same time
as the brontosaurus. Is that true?
I don't know.
But there were different dinosaurs
different times. We got to talk to a
Jewish archaeologist.
That's Ross Geller.
Because
I mean, you look at like Jerusalem
and they say it's, I guess that's
thousands of years old. God,
I hate not knowing shit.
Really? I'm pretty comfortable with it.
So you're fine
not knowing how Jews justify
the idea of no dinosaurs.
Yeah, because I like, I mean
there's no way to justify it.
So there's not really a need for me to find out
how they do it.
I really just want to know
if Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
had a fucking pterodactyl
at their bar mitzvahs.
I want to know if
I want to know
if Rachel, Rebecca, and Leia
were
not only living with
their husbands, but living with a fucking
what's another dinosaur?
A
mastodon.
That's sort of a pterodactyl, right?
A t-rex, a velociraptor.
God, could we just talk about
basketball or something I know about for
the first six? I don't get any of this shit.
Lebron James.
I should say we just recorded
just finished recording an episode
of Buckets My Basketball Podcast.
So if you're gotten enough of, if I were
you at the end of the show and want to listen to more of us
or if you got enough of us when we
started saying sleep though again.
That's right.
And if you wanted to hear us
talk about the National Basketball Association
I'm going to make sure that that episode
is online right now.
So when you're done with this, hop on over
to Buckets Episode 3 with Jake Hurwitz.
In the can.
About the man. Lebron James.
That's right. And this
unfortunately is not a basketball podcast.
This is an advice show. Sadly for us.
We got to give people what they want
and that's the wisdom of these
two, I want to say scholars
but you just heard us talk about
calendars, years and dinosaurs
so you know how smart we are. Oh, I'm a dumbass.
Proven dumbass.
But we are expert
millennials.
That's 30-somethings. We've been in the game for a long time
and people are seeking our wisdom, our
guidance, our advice. They'll email us
if I were you show at gmail.com
and they want to know how we would handle
their life sticky situation.
This guy actually
gave his girlfriend
a fake name but we need to give
him a fake name. The girl that he's
naming in the question is named Alphalfador.
Alphalfador.
So we'll call him Spanky.
That's good. Spanky writes,
I'm in a conundrum. I met
a girl named Alphalfador
a few months back while working at a basketball
game. She was also working
and during a slow time we hit
it off. She was a dime piece,
a fine piece of feminine specimen
with a Kate Upton vibe to boot.
Since then, we would talk
every single shift we had together
and it was fun and flirty and we actually
had deep conversations. Nice.
This is all during a basketball game.
On the last day we were working together,
I scored them digits.
We have an awesome
rich beautiful, sorry,
I have an awesome rich
beautiful selfless girlfriend
that I may
never have mentioned to Alphalfador.
Alphalfador and I
have texted a metric fuck
tongue since I got her number
and I could tell she's super into me.
But even texting makes me feel
guilty because I feel like I'm cheating
on an emotional level. So my question
is, is getting coffee
or just hanging out without Alphalfador harmless?
Should I let my girlfriend
know about it even though nothing physical
is going on? Thanks guys.
Love spanky.
Is it harmless?
Because that's what I need to hear right now.
Because I'm getting coffee with her
and coffee will turn into tea
and tea will turn into a long island
iced tea and I wasn't
I wasn't physical but
we were hanging out all night
and we had an awkward goodbye
having an amazing conversation
and yeah, I haven't talked to Alphalfador
about my girlfriend. So I'm deceiving
her and my girlfriend
at the same time. For the price of fun.
Nice!
What is he doing? He's just trying to scratch
that itch. He wants to feel
the sexy romance
excitement times of a flirtation
sesh while also having a girlfriend.
Yeah, but sometimes
you don't feel guilty conscience part either.
Sometimes you think it's casual scratching
of it. You know when you pick your nose
and you're just like oh I think there's a little
but I'm not going to stick my finger
at my nose but then you sort of feel
this really nice big crusty burger
and then you put your finger all the way to your nose
just being like I'm not going to yank this out of my nose
I just want to feel how big it is
and then you feel all the way up
near your eye socket
and then it's got a tiny little
corner off
so you can just pull this whole entire thing
and that'll feel good because you can finally
blow your nose
but then no, here you go
before you know it, you are yanking
the huge burger out of your nose
you turn to the left at a stoplight and you see
your fucking girlfriend
staring at you
wondering what you're doing and you're like oh shit
that's what's happening right now. He's tiptoeing
forward he's moving up the nose
but you don't want to tease yourself with somebody that's
actually beautiful and you feel a connection to
that's not like teasing
that's not scratching an itch
she'll feel misled
you don't text
a stranger who's attractive
of the opposite gender and not mention
your girlfriend and then think it's fine
and that it's not cheating
so what you're doing is not harmless
it's harmful
and you're trending towards making it even more harmful
but what can you do
you can either break up with your girlfriend
and pursue this other interest or
your girlfriend and break off these
flirtations
at what point can you stop a flirtation
where it's not harmful
I think there's still time for him now
oh you think he hasn't gone too far
no I mean they're texting a lot
but if
he's asking is it harmless if I get coffee
that's because he wants to
you know like so I think
we'll say
I'll go on record saying it's harmful if you guys
go get coffee
so texting
I mean you should stop texting too
but here's where you cut it off if she says
hey why don't we get a drink
or why don't we get coffee
I'd like to but
I actually have a girlfriend so I should
probably chill out I'm sorry
but at what point even in the grand scheme of things
does harmless flirtation become
harmful flirtation
isn't the getting of the number is that not allowed
I think all of it's
it's more based on how he's
feeling isn't it like
if talking to
um
alfalfa door
makes him feel more distant
and resentful of his girlfriend
and like withdrawn from her
then that's harmful that's like detrimental to the
relationship is there a world where he's talking
and flirting and texting and meeting isn't
somehow
adversely affecting his relationship
no because even if he's not
like feeling those things
it's a different word to find out that he was getting
coffee with this hot girl that he met at work
and had been texting a lot with
then it would be harmful like she would
feel jealous and sad and hurt by it
I think it's the texting that's really like the
next level like talking to someone at work
you can justify that's though it's
a work flirt it's a meet cute
it's a company in romance
yeah once you text
and it's like all night and it's during
whenever and you have access and it's
exciting and you see their name in your phone
that is chatting taking the next
yeah and then meeting is
an even bigger next step I don't even
think he should be texting let alone
meeting although
yeah because she wouldn't have gotten the number
I don't think you give you don't give out
your number to somebody when you're in
a relationship I would say
texting meeting
or chatting at work to texting
is a bigger leap than texting to meeting
up I think texting is like
the big step because that's
24-7 access to your
brain your mind your chatting
yeah and then you start hiding shit on
the phone that's when you but it's all the
it's all the path to fucking yeah
which is actually cheating
yes so
it's the road to death right
if you know that there's death 100 feet
away do you cover your eyes
and take 40 steps towards death that seems
a little dangerous because what if
your steps start becoming longer what if
you start making a wrong turn
if you start risk you realize it's a slippery slope
that's right it's going down you can actually
fall down and slide and then fall
off the mountain and the closer you get
the harder it is to avoid right not
unlike because you have to yeah you have to go back
up yeah yeah
and that backup sometimes results
in your girlfriend not wanting to let
you back up yep
so this guy has to sort of make a decision
who he wants to be with
and that's his decision to make he can break
up with someone that's fine right but this
is duplicity I don't condone it
no nor should you
so stop being duplicitous spanky
you duplicitous spanky
and make a
decision you can't have it both ways
correct here's a
15 year old Dane
who will call Dane cook
nice hi I'm a
15 year old guy with a problem
my classmates like to party and so do I
but they only invite people who
drink this is where the problem begins
my fellow snatch lovers and no
I'm not a fucking
that faints when smelling alcohol but I
don't I just don't feel like trying
it yet I don't really need to
but this keeps my classmates
and friends from inviting me to their
parties and don't mistake me I'm not
really shy I'm known as a funny guy
in class which I enjoy being
but how can I get them to invite me
am I being a diva with this
some extra info I play
basketball you can find out that I search
basketball to find these questions I see
I'm six foot three and yes I'm bragging
and this also keeps me from being able
to party Friday nights these party
hats do a bit of weed
isn't this crazy as 15 year olds
and also I live in the capital
of Denmark Copenhagen
another crazy thing is that all my female
classmates have done a blow job
and one has even gotten some ding dong
in her hole on the backside
I'm going to high school next year peace
wait 15
and he's out in high school yet?
who knows what the fuck is going on in Copenhagen
when did you start
you didn't start doing any of this stuff till college
yeah I wasn't even invited to drinking
parties until I was like 16
17 but I was allowed to be there
but I didn't want to drink because I was afraid
of getting in trouble right and I
was drinking as a 14 year old
and getting into lots of trouble 14
that's so young was it a party or was it
just like two friends in a basement
it was sort of like in between
we didn't ever have like rager parties
when did cool parties start
like 17 year olds
hanging out by a pool drinking alcohol
I guess that was like
for me that was
high school like junior and senior year
we'd have parties at people's houses
when kids could drive
just when it was dangerous enough to start drinking
I think even
in high school we like for the most part had like
DD's though
so like you were smart about it even then
that's smart because we're 16
getting shit faced at house parties
how do you cover a hangover from
a parent like I can understand maybe
like trying not to act as drunk as possible
but then the next day when you're just like puking
dehydrated tired and sweating
when you're 16 you don't really get as much
hangovers interesting I was definitely
I like got like one or two hangovers
my entire and I would drink all the time
interesting I wonder if there's some sort
of science behind that anyway
don't drink before you're legally allowed to kids
of course this guy
wants to get invited to parties
and he can't do it why can't he get
invited and not drink were there were there
non-drinkers did you know any sober 16
year olds at these drunken parties yeah
and I don't really remember it being a big deal
but like maybe you
maybe if you're like I've we're all going to steal
liquor from my parents liquor cabinet
and we don't want to invite
this guy because he doesn't drink
but I don't know I don't really remember
I sort of remember being like
if you're not going to drink that's great because we could only
get this much alcohol
anyway I remember like being
at these parties like first and I was
just like this is insane like
like how this guy saying they also all do drugs
isn't that crazy I felt like
I had been fed
information my whole young adult
life of like don't drink don't do drugs
and then I went to this party and everyone was ignoring the rules
I'm like hello
like what is going on here putting
out a cigarette dumping a beer down
this thing such reckless abandon
how does nobody care about
the big overarching biggest
rule of life which is don't do drugs
this is nuts to me like everyone's
just you know doing this stuff
that we've been like brainwashed I thought
not to do but I feel like I'm the only
one who's following the rules here
yeah well I think that illustrates
the fact that people sort of run the gamut
like when they're ready to start partying
yeah I mean I guess I still
started in college which is a little
bit earlier than the legal amount
but and then there are some people who wait until 21
to drink but
there's some people people that just don't like
the way at all yeah the yeah
exactly yeah
so I think it's it's more about just being comfortable
in your own skin I don't think people are not inviting
you to parties because you don't drink
like put yourself out there
and say you want to come to the parties I'm sure they wouldn't
be like no you can't come because you don't drink
and if they do say that fuck them
do you know somebody else do you think you're getting over
drinking like is it
going down a little bit for you
yeah maybe a little bit
like you don't feel the urge to get
drunk
I feel like if anything I feel more
the urge I still like the way alcohol
tastes and I like the way it makes me feel
of course like I definitely don't
I used to like
when I was living in New York I would be like
oh I'm gonna like skip dinner or eat a
light dinner so I can like get drunk
or faster yeah and like
I want to go out and dance and go to
a bunch of bars and like if I eat food then I'll feel
like heavy and now I'm like
oh I'm gonna have like a couple drinks so I'm gonna
eat a big ass dinner so I don't get too drunk
all right so I'm definitely like trying
to manage
um
drinking yeah in a more
healthier way but I'm not necessarily
stopping at the same time right but
are you slowing down actively or
is it just like less in your life because
I guess it's just less than less
in my life I don't yeah I don't party
as much
which is fine which is good
you're a fucking loser dude
it's weird it's a
you would think or I would think that like
I would miss it be like oh man
I used to party
now I have to go home yeah but like
that just that part of my brain is like
not that it's been dulled
and not by alcohol right by
healthier activity
yeah now I like the idea of like
going on a hike on Saturday
and it really should be nine because
it's supposed to be pretty hot out that's
right and I'd hate to be hung over on the hike
yeah and you
basically every time you're singing you're
in a relationship you kind of like don't
like drink yeah like I use drinking as like
a social lubricant to meet new people
and then when I'm in a relationship I don't
need to meet new people I don't need
new friends and I don't need new ladies
so like why am I out and about
getting drunk where I'm like
I instantly start feeling hung over
after the second drink now because like it's
such like a mental thing we're like what am I doing
why am I doing this why do I need to be loose
right now yeah I'm
I have everything that I need I don't need
to be like more less inhibited
I think I think
I still like
getting drunk and partying but it's just like
whereas before I would
do it at least twice a week
and even earlier than that I would do it
like almost every night
yeah all right no I really have to like
stay in tonight it's it's Monday
so now
I'm like it happens maybe every two
or three weeks right where I'll
like we'll have a friend in town or I'll
be traveling and I'll meet up with somebody
like all right let's like have a couple drinks
let's go out to three more bars I did it
last week in New York with
with the rosies and Mikey and
Nick and Vinny and that was real fun
you got wasted not wasted but we like
stayed out till two
which used to be early in New York
right I mean we definitely could have
stayed out for three more drinks but
yeah no need
no need I guess that's as hard as I party
now there are friends of ours that like
like stay out till like five or six
even if it's like drinking by themselves
which I really don't get like
what you're you're back at your
place of sleep and now you're still
hanging out and drinking yeah don't you like
to sleep from two to six like
why get drunk and then sleep less that
doesn't that doesn't compute to me I
watched the sun come up at Carnell's
wedding and I remember that I remember
feeling I'm looking down and be like oh my
god it's six what the fuck have I done
yeah
who stays up so late
maybe it's just us getting older anyway
what should this 15 year old do
try to get an invite to the party
even if you're not drinking and if what's
the point of hanging out with people who are getting
shitfaced if you're not that's true
these parties probably aren't as fun as you think
sounds like he has some self-confidence though so I don't
think I mean just like asked to be invited
to the party make people laugh and be sober and it's
fine I wonder if you can dunk six with
three 15 years old Danish
and yeah in Denmark the hoops are
eight feet yeah that's legal
there the drinking age 16
and the rims are nine
yeah the drinking age is
at like 18 there isn't it I would
assume less
all right you don't have that much longer to go
stay stay sober for now
what are we calling oh dame cook
yeah you're almost there
all right let's take a break think some sponsors

and we're back Jake do you
have any
sure don't do you yeah
so here's what I'm thinking this one's a little
minute it's a little
unfair to me it's
sad and it's
um
inconsequential to
99% of you got it
but for those
who it does help here's my little
tidbit and it really
is a tid of a bit of advice
in instagram
we all know that stories have slowly
started to trickle out take over
they've ostensibly killed snapchat for me
and they're honestly starting
to hurt instagram for me because it's like
it's seemingly becoming all about these
stories and these stories feel like
an even bigger waste of time than
instagram because now instagram is at least
a place for people to post their important
nice photos and stories
are just the
garbage bin of the internet right you have to
go through a little bit of a process to
post a photo yeah the story
or tag a place shit
and stuff up there sometimes it's funny
sometimes it's a poll sometimes just a
fucking picture of a dog shit that's
not good enough for main
main instagram yeah which is interesting because
more people see the story
so I've noticed
that um
if you scroll down a little bit I don't know what the
algorithm is but at a certain point instagram
gives you a nice little strip of people's
stories as a preview
right because it's trying to get you to go back to the
top and watch the stories instagram wants
you to watch the stories that's right scroll
past the stories it'll be like hey you
missed these stories
that's right are you sure you want to miss the stories
don't you want to click on the stories I
found that the
story strip which is not
big enough to actually consume
is a little bit of a nicotine
patch that scratches the urge
of the story lets you consume
stories faster and makes
it so people can't see that you
looked at people that's what it's really about for you
so you love people
not you love it when people
think oh Amir didn't watch my story
it's just a nice little
fucking atta boy that you never see
my name in the list of things
Amir's too busy Amir's too
cool no he's not
he has a podcast and he
gives you a tip about
the strip it's a strip tip
and my strip tip
for those who don't want to be nipped
or stripped or tipped is
instead of going mindlessly
through these stories of people you don't care
about people that you don't follow that
you don't even want to show that you've
put any extra attention or effort
into their lives that's true
consume the strip use the
strip so your advice is it like
hey get off instagram
smell a flower
do not do that
don't make any meaningful
real life connections
I can get you
I can get you high faster
I can game the system
you're still using it in a different way
more stories quicker
straight to the vein
and most importantly
no little name
that says you've consumed
that person's story
very interesting
have you ever like screen grabbed
a person's avatar
and blown it up because you don't want to
follow them on instagram but you want to know
what they look like no
yeah me neither but can you imagine
absolutely
so you screen grab the little
circular thumbnail that's so small
it's very blurry and then you stretch
it out you blow it up you get a good idea
because you can't request you don't want to request to follow
you don't want to request to follow
where do you get off being private
that makes sense
that does make sense to me
I used to do that thing you know like you would be
watching one story and if you hold down
it pauses it and you can sort of go halfway
to the next one
oh I can like see this person's story
but I don't want them to know that I watched it
I thought that was a snapchat thing
oh you can go to the next
story by sliding over
and not fully consuming
the story
that's pretty good that's a good tip
and then have you ever gotten
lost in an instagram story
like feed and then you end up on someone
that you didn't want to see their shit
you're like shit they fucking tricked me into
sliding into my ex-girlfriend's
stories I didn't even want to see it
yep sure have
oh and to make matters worse
she posted it two and a half minutes ago
I'm the only freaking name
on the feed and she has
128 followers
it's prominent
it's got the check mark next to it
she sees it she knows it
alright that's my tip
I like it
let's get back to some solicited advice
okay
this one's from a lady
who seems to be very mad
who's a madder lady
than Kamala Harris
who is just
bringing it to Kavanaugh on these hearings
awesome I mean she is
I wouldn't call her mad I'd call her responsible
that's right she's upset but in a good way
that the Trump
is trying to slide this guy into our supreme court
not on her watch
stay heated
Harris writes
my bitch ass husband never wanted to
have sex as much as I did
he didn't enjoy initiating and when he
actually had sex he was so damn fast
that he was done before
I started he claimed that sex
was not that important to him
recently he cheated on me and told me
that it was better with the other person
so my question is how do I not fall
into a pit of despair
signed obviously
separated
you just read that in an angry voice
it was mad
she was angry
her question is how do I not fall into a pit of despair
yeah but she also called her husband
a bitch ass who didn't want to have sex
bitch ass isn't sad it's pissed
but it's I
to me at that question
my bitch ass husband
yeah to me it rendered
my bitch ass husband
but it seems like the answer to her question
is in the question itself
he wanted to have sex he wasn't that good at it
and now you get to have sex
and do it with people who are good at it
yeah this guy's a piece of shit
get laid
dude the way you don't fall
into a pit of despair is to do all
of the things that is so great
about or are so great about being single
and that is reconnecting with
your friends and your family
people that like didn't get to see you
enough or didn't get to see you being yourself
because you were always around this shitty
asshole dude this bitch ass husband
and then
then like that's what
gets you feeling more
like yourself and ready for dating
I wonder what's better
when a really sweet person says
they don't want to be with you anymore but they were very nice
and friendly throughout the whole relationship and things were going great
or when a person like this
is mean, bad at sex
cheated on you and said it was better
like do you want your loved one to be mean
to you so you can get over it faster
or do you want it to be sweet so that you're like pining forever
I don't know because it's not like
I don't think you really get over being cheated on
and then told that the sex with the other person was better
yeah but like that's like
that is very it's cut and dry that you should
not be with that person
but it's still like a pretty detrimental thing
to say and do
it's trauma yeah
so here's my theory I think when someone's mean to you
and a cheater and a meaner
then you're angry at first but it goes away faster
because you're like fuck this guy
and a sweet person does it
it might not be as sad as the cheating and the meaning
but it lasts for longer
yeah the confusion
so it's a longer tail but not as high
of a start
I don't think I've ever been like broken up with somebody
but yeah
I've never been broken up with
by someone who is like
I thought everything was going fine
and then just one day they pulled the rug out from under me
and were like actually I don't want to be with you
every time I've broken up with somebody
it's been too late
yeah it's been very clear for a long time
that it was ending
yeah it's been a slow crossfade to black
which I guess
is another way of doing it
but this way seems better for me I'm just saying
now you can
you should be excited
not pissed about it
yeah use it as an opportunity this is a cool thing
congratulations
congrats indeed
you would have stayed married to this piece of shit
and had bad sex and he would have been a piece of shit
I wonder if they probably don't have kids either right
she would have mentioned something
I bet she would have
we'd love a follow up pup on how you're feeling
now that you're getting back out there
I wonder if how good
conception was
affects the child so like IQs
and kids that were
conceived in sex that was considered
great
versus how kids turn out in sex that was
considered bad
I think
is there any way to measure that
yeah orgasm strength
volume
but then like how do you know which time you got pregnant
like if you have sex three times in a week
yeah I've never done that
that have sex to have kids
I want to talk to friends of mine that have gone through that
because I wonder if the sex is different
yeah or if it's like
almost like methodical
like you have to do it this way
yeah I think there are like certain positions
that are like better for the sperm to travel to the egg
again
yeah or is that all just like an old wives tale
like you don't eat salt or don't eat meat
or do it on a this or do it like this
yeah I don't know
I wonder if like
the kids are smarter
in sex where like
you had a condom on
but like it's this
oh accidental pregnancies
it's almost like oh this like this
sperm was extra smart
navigated
like against all odds
it was like being born
at all is like a billion to one
cause there's so many sperm but the fact that this
sperm navigated through
that defense
they probably all become kick returners
imagine
Devin Hester as a fucking sperm
I won't because I can't
cause I don't know who that is
but can you imagine a awesome
punt returnsman navigating a latex
shield like he does the defense
Wes Welker that's right
a Wes Welker type he's already
small and white which I assume is what sperm is
alright
one last question
let's do it
this lady
is
not unlike the first lady but maybe a little bit
different this lady who
will call
Tad
Shanti
long story short I fucked
one of my brother's best friends recently
without my brother's knowledge of us being
in contact let alone spending a
weekend together and fucking
some back info I'm 24 and my bro
and his friends are 26 I've known about him
for four years passively the BFF
and I have been texting and calling and
facetime each other constantly
for the past one to two months
at the end of this spontaneous
weekend I decided that I'd actually be down
to be this guy's friend but since
he left he's been a little distant
and not present in our conversations
shy
sad face
should I let it go and passively ghost
him or continue maybe making an effort
to birth a possible friendship
also what do y'all think
about how my bro might feel about
my BFF and I being
his BFF and I being friends side
note homie made me orgasm
needless to say the sex was great fire
emoji also I've been listening
to dnd pod lately so added points
if y'all want to role play this situation
thanks for your POV boys
tad shanty all right tad
what do you think
I think she's kind of getting ghosted
yeah
it seems like he's been
distant should I ghost him
I think right it's
sex was awesome but he's not
talking to me so should I ghost this
asshole I think
it sounds like you guys both came to the
same conclusion after this weekend that the
relationship a
romantic one isn't worth pursuing
but the exciting weekend
was still good yeah
so now she's saying
like I'll be friends with him and he's saying
I want out I'm
done here ish
I think maybe I'm reading too much into it
I think she wants to have sex with him
again and he
is seemingly distant and
she's sort of convincing herself by saying
I just wanted to remain friends but he's
being so cold and distant maybe I should
ghost him that's the narrative that I have in my mind
I see and I think that this
guy is probably like he got a little too
real he's nervous about like
needing to tell his best friend that he fucked his sister
and that he's like
gonna like start dating her so he's like no I'm not
gonna do that I gotta I gotta bail
it's like the difference between
right before having sex and right after having sex
personified
as a man after
you're done having sex the last thing you want to do is have sex
right again oh right away again
and they're in that
phase now where he's like I
don't need it as much as I did the first time
right the like the face timing and the
texting that was all like ramping up to this
one crazy weekend yeah and
now and now like the the questioning
of what it was is settling in
yeah that like my my best
friend's gonna be super mad
and maybe he's nervous too he's like oh no and
what if she's like falling for me and I have to
like this whole thing comes to a head
yeah and this lady who had an orgasm
and the sex was great that's probably more rare
for a lady to have a great orgasm
and great sex and she wants more she doesn't
want less of it
I believe that she
doesn't want a relationship with him and she just
wants to be his friend I don't think so
why would you want to only be friends with someone who made
you have a great orgasm and the sex was great
well a lot of people have great
orgasm man I don't know
I would like to talk to her but unfortunately all
we have is this email I think she
I think she recognizes the sex was great
but doesn't want to like
keep on fucking him or dating him
and she's like but I want to be his friend
because that's like the norm
I feel like girls mostly do like the normal
healthy thing yeah I
had sex with this person I like
them I'm not like don't see them as a dating
future for
I don't see a future of dating
them so I'll just be friends
because we had this crazy weekend where we
fucked each other and that's the right thing to do
and he's like
I'm scared now so we'll never
speak of this
yeah I think she wants to be friends
because she liked she would
she would prefer this next one half months
one to two months to go like the
last one to two months yeah and flirting
facetiming in an amazing weekend abroad
you're in my
eyes incorrect assessment of this
is what the whole entire problem
with society
seems to be which is you are putting
the expectations on
her yeah so you're you're like
oh this girl wants to date me so I'm going to
ignore her meanwhile she is
saying I want to be this guy's friend
and not keep on fucking him but his
his like you want
to be friends with him though because
that's like a normal thing to do I don't think
girls want to have be friend
guys they fucked and gave them
great sex I don't think that's true
but maybe I'm wrong
that's happened once or twice
before we really got to get this lady
on the show yeah I want to talk to her
this guy yeah and I don't
even think it's a secret but I want to
know what she thinks I know she's a D&D
podcast listener so she'll at the very
least want to talk to hard one about it
hey
maybe we'll do a live
follow-up up with this lady next week
really get to the bottom of it
love that
alright that's what we think we're split
we're going to get to the bottom of it
either way this relationship is doomed
so don't
I'm for you ghosting him
really I'm against ghosting again
we disagree but that's probably because
we disagree about the premise of the question
you're for ghosting
alright but she's going to see him
around brother's best friend
yeah and the tension will be real
and then that's exactly what you think
she wants and then she gets sex
again right yes dude
some combination of what Mameer
and I said is right almost always
find the average
alright thanks for writing in
the email address for questions and theme songs
