Starting point is 00:00:59 Yes, still please There's all these sticky situations That they're solving We're getting advice from the pinching schmuel A lot of love isn't there to bring in I wonder how you can be best friends with A cute little chip but with no sense in humor Never let a sleet of gum burn in my brain
Starting point is 00:01:22 If I were you, podcast my headgum I'll even shake it and leave my problem Give me red but I swear you got to run it Fall Out Boy, nice. At the onset of the song I believed it was some 41, but I was wrong Uh, sorry we're not recording yet Okay, sorry, so you wanna, if you just press the button I can remember what I said

Starting point is 00:02:27 I thought that was a Fall Out Boy Fall Out Boy? Fall Out Boy cover You stole my joke, said it as yourself And then claimed to be me And you did a worse job of me I guess it wasn't even a joke Yeah
Starting point is 00:02:40 That's almost why it's weird that you stole it What you did was steal something of no value to me Like a sponge Also, I think you made it me say it extra time So you could learn it This is the guy who wrote last week's theme song Which is the Blink 182 cover This guy did a Fall Out Boy cover for us
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's Rob August We forgot to shout out his Instagram last week So we're gonna do it And right now, Rob underscore August Tell Jake I said hi I played his Evil Twin in a project a couple years ago As you can see from my Insta What do you think that means?
Starting point is 00:03:11 He played your Evil Twin in a project I am not sure What's his Instagram? I'll look at it Rob underscore August But he said a couple years ago So I'll have to like scroll all the time Did you ever shoot something where you had an Evil Twin?
Starting point is 00:03:27 Probably Oh, that's cool Like you don't even fucking remember Oh Jesus, I wrote underscore I wrote Rob underscore underscore Like I did an underscore and then I wrote underscore Is that just because your brain is sort of scattered right now? I think so
Starting point is 00:03:43 I think it's because I'm scattered and I'm stupid We're recording this before the holidays But this is coming out December 24th It's a goddamn Christmas Eve episode of our show This guy is tatted and jacked Really? I did find it Oh
Starting point is 00:04:00 I am in the photo Oh I have absolutely no recollection of this day Let me see I have a theory of when it was I think I know when it was This was when? What's the date on the photo?
Starting point is 00:04:13 July 30th, 2014 Wow Nearly five years ago Yeah Let's see it And this is you in the photo With this guy and he's playing your Evil Twin Yeah
Starting point is 00:04:27 Where is that? So I think I'll tell you where it is I think you're gonna get it You are It was at Siren Studios Why are you wearing a weird shirt? I believe you are in the next room
Starting point is 00:04:40 Oh Is this the Is that Is this the video game thing we did? We like hosted a video game marathon Yeah Where we were doing weird challenges Yeah, for like Skype
Starting point is 00:04:52 Yeah I forget What that was for It was with Bobby Lee, right? Bobby Lee was the host It was like you and I playing video games For The idea was
Starting point is 00:05:02 Like We want to have Jake and Mia play like legit 48 hours of video games Like legit 24 hours And they asked us to do it And we were like Obviously not We're not gonna do that
Starting point is 00:05:12 We're not gonna do that Do it for 48 hours straight Yeah, so they like did a They like faked it, I guess, right? They must have And then They were like But we did have to do like two 12 hour days of it or something
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah, and they kept throwing challenges at us That we didn't really want to do But it was being live streamed So like at one point we were planking With like a little person on our back Is that true? Yes They were like who can do a plank longer
Starting point is 00:05:37 With a little person on their back It was Insane It was a shit show That was That is so awful The fact that we did it Well we didn't know it
Starting point is 00:05:49 That was the challenge It was like We're gonna throw challenges at you Right And then it was like as we were there Yeah Okay, now you guys have to do There was one that was just like an eating contest
Starting point is 00:05:58 They're like Alright, which one of you guys can eat more spaghetti? And I was like I'm not gonna eat any spaghetti So Mia's gonna eat more And then like we also played video games That we didn't know how to play against each other That's right
Starting point is 00:06:08 So I was like gamers watching us Not knowing how to play video games Sometimes doing a plank Sometimes not eating spaghetti And sometimes playing a game That we don't know how to play against each other And that was to inspire some sort of Awareness for
Starting point is 00:06:23 It was to make cash and to have money Is what it was for I don't even remember the product It was a voice recognition video game thing It wasn't Alexa It was like Alexa play this game And it would play I thought it was like a Skype thing
Starting point is 00:06:37 With integration with video games Right, but then it was so early on in that development That like we would say it and it wouldn't work But it was live stream So it'd be like play a game And it was like do not know what that is And they're like hold on And then like a marketing person would walk in
Starting point is 00:06:50 Super stressed out Shit shit Hey hey hey shit Did you press the button on the remote control? It's all being live stream Yeah exactly Meanwhile you're not eating pasta And that's supposed to be good for the product
Starting point is 00:07:02 So this guy would play my evil twin Which I guess I sort of remember now I don't know I can't remember if I I don't know if I remember If it's like Now that you saw the photo Right, the photo was a memory
Starting point is 00:07:16 Yeah, but it's not actually a memory that you had You think that video exists anywhere The live stream Do you think a human can see it If they wanted to You think they posted it somewhere to a website That's accidentally still online I would hope not

Starting point is 00:10:06 And I want to say like the The 30th of May I won't communicate one word With my brothers or my mother Or my father So you're a bad guy year round No I'm a sour man from December to May
Starting point is 00:10:22 When the sun comes out again And temperatures reach 80 degrees I'm able to have fun again with my family As a tanned little friendly Constructive sun Constructive I'm giving criticism You describe yourself as a son
Starting point is 00:10:39 As constructive You're a bad guy I'm a good son I'm a constructive son Everybody gets away with shit Well Amir is hibernating That's what I call it Hibernating because I don't see them
Starting point is 00:10:52 You're probably a tweenage dweeb I would say A tweenage dirt dweeb baby Alright let's try to answer some questions People still need our guidance Even though it's Christmas Especially because it's Christmas Merry Christmas everybody
Starting point is 00:11:03 Ho ho okay Let's start with this guy Who will call Christopher J. Kringle Santa So here it is I work in a busy emergency department And recently one of the nurses
Starting point is 00:11:17 I have worked with for years has left I had a thing for her But we didn't get so flirty And because she had a boyfriend The day she left She kissed my lips And said she had a thing for me For so long
Starting point is 00:11:31 Okay We speak daily over text since This was about five weeks ago I literally adore her And would jump at the chance To have a future with her But on the other hand I would never break up a couple
Starting point is 00:11:43 As I know how much it would hurt him My head and my heart Are constantly battling over this issue What should I do? Thanks Love Chris Kringle That's not very Santa-like He wants to break up a relationship
Starting point is 00:11:57 But that's, I think it's Actually he doesn't want to And that's the problem Right It's one thing to not needle And it's another thing to Like completely abstain When somebody in a relationship
Starting point is 00:12:10 Is like kissing you And saying that they like you Yeah, you didn't needle It's on her And maybe this relationship And guy are bad Most likely they are If that's what's happening
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah But I think you was still You can't like You don't want to enter A relationship this way I feel like you can wait And the relationship will die I mean if a girl is kissing
Starting point is 00:12:35 Somebody else and say That I had the hots for you And then you've been texting daily Ever since Seems like the writing's on the wall Yeah, but I think that you can Do your part to break them up And be a good guy by saying
Starting point is 00:12:46 I want to do this the right way I want to date you with honor With Valor Yeah Hoorah That's right With Valor Y'all always behave with Valor
Starting point is 00:12:57 With honor Hold yourself in the highest regard The most esteem That's the sword that he has Yeah, you say I let's do this right When you're single I would love to take you out
Starting point is 00:13:08 On a proper date Oh, that's good You say when you're single Because then it puts the timeline On that person To hurry their shit up So you're saying He doesn't necessarily have a green
Starting point is 00:13:18 Light to go with A green light to go ahead But he does have a yellow light To proceed with caution Yellow light actually means to To stop Yield Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:30 He has to yield with caution I think there's a yield sign There's a merge sign Yes, he has to merge You wait till the traffic clears And then you can merge You can merge And her name is Marge
Starting point is 00:13:39 Merge with Marge And yield accordingly I can only imagine this relationship That she's in It has an expiration date You're still texting with her Which means the fire, the flicker The flame is still going
Starting point is 00:13:54 The more you text The better your chances Or do you want to starve her a little I'm not even talking about chances anymore Because I think the chances It's 100% It's good to go It's gonna happen
Starting point is 00:14:05 The light is green Or yellow Or yellow It's not yellow You have to slow down To proceed with caution Yellow light means to stop You're supposed to stop
Starting point is 00:14:14 You're not supposed to proceed with caution If you see the yellow light What if you're at the intersection That means stop Because the light's turning red What if you're at the intersection And it's too late Would you then proceed with caution
Starting point is 00:14:24 I would have to proceed I'd have to proceed with caution I'd have to slam on my brakes And end in the intersection You're at the intersection The light's red Yeah, is there a turn on red? I'll do a Tokyo drift
Starting point is 00:14:36 E-brake Steering wheel all the way to the left Roll the car Roll tide Under a truck You're now facing against traffic Under a truck Not for luck
Starting point is 00:14:48 And you're ready to be with your soulmate And this sounds like a way parents meet It's like, yeah, my mom was dating somebody else And my dad just kept chipping away and texting And then she kissed him And then it was over for them You hope so All I'm saying is that it's possible
Starting point is 00:15:05 It's probable It's likely And it's going to happen So congratulations Grad All right, here's another question From a lady Who's a lady in the Christmas universe?
Starting point is 00:15:16 Mrs. Claus? Mrs. Claus writes Mrs. Claus, not Miss She's married to Santa, fuck her I thought it was his sister No, it's not his sister They're a bunch of old perverts that live together They have the same last name
Starting point is 00:15:31 Incessuous relationship Of course they have the same last name Because she took his last name when they got married That's not very feminist What was her real name? It happened a long time ago Before it was normal For people that keep their independence
Starting point is 00:15:44 What was Mrs. Claus's married name? Or sorry, maiden name That's a good question Green You think she's Jewish? I don't think so I don't think she moves to the North Pole For a Christian man
Starting point is 00:15:56 With Christian values If Jesus was Jewish Then you better believe Mrs. Claus Was raised Episcopalian Slash Jew mix You know she ate a lot because of you She's interfaith Absolutely interfaith
Starting point is 00:16:10 My name is Miss Claus I'm a 19 year old Mrs. Why? You think she's married? I think she's his sister I'm a 19 year old female from Sweden And I'm in a bit of a sticky situation Evolving my relationship
Starting point is 00:16:23 My boyfriend who's 21 And I have been dating for about a year And lately we've had this problem That I can't seem to solve The problem is that I pretty much always know And I want lots of tattoos all over my body Something he only recently found out about Now he absolutely hates the thought
Starting point is 00:16:38 Of me being quote covered in ink He says it's the worst fear of his And that he doesn't know whether he'll still Have feelings for me or not However, he always tells me that I should do What I want with my body And that is fine But he just cannot let this go
Starting point is 00:16:52 He thinks I'm ruining my body by quote Covering it up with tattoos He also says that he wishes I could Change my mind about tattoos Which I know I won't I already have three small tattoos That he loves by the way And I'm planning to get more as soon as
Starting point is 00:17:07 I don't want to refrain from Sorry, I'm planning to get more As I don't want to refrain from getting them Just because of what he thinks I need your help because I have no clue what to do I feel like our relationship is an expiration date The day I have quote too many tattoos But neither of us want to break up with the other
Starting point is 00:17:24 Is it worth staying with him? Do you think he'll change his mind? I don't want to choose between him or my tattoos Can't I have both? It's worth noting that he also has a tattoo And wants more Please help Love Kringle
Starting point is 00:17:39 This is Kringle Yeah, this guy likes some tattoos Just not a grip ton Yeah, well Too bad for him I guess? Good, you don't have to get them on your body That's fine So do you think there's a relationship
Starting point is 00:17:55 As an expiration date? The day she gets too many tattoo Tattoos? Tattoos Mike Tattoos Maybe, I mean maybe But I just think that that is on the dude You should do what you want with your body
Starting point is 00:18:06 Just as he says to you But what if she doesn't want to get it Because she's afraid that he will break up with her Fuck him dude, you should get it because you want it And then at a certain point If you're completely covered in ink And he breaks up with you Then fine, you know
Starting point is 00:18:22 Maybe you can't have both things So maybe you do have to choose I don't think that you have to choose right now Because you're not covered with tattoos And he is just Just dislikes the idea We have to do what you want And then see if he doesn't like the reality
Starting point is 00:18:38 It's like if your lover wanted to get A bunch of face tattoos And you'd be like, I don't want you to do that I don't know, would you stay with someone Who had like a blackface tattoo? I mean definitely not a blackface tattoo I wouldn't be dating somebody in the first place That would do that
Starting point is 00:18:54 What if she wanted to just get tic-tac-toe games All over her face and skull After shaving her head I mean I can't tell her not to Exactly All you can do is set up Your Like your line
Starting point is 00:19:09 So if you get A tattoo of a tic-tac-toe game On your forehead, I would have to break up with you I won't stop you from doing that But if you, I'm not going to be the X's Or the O's, I'm not playing the game You'll be my X And oh baby
Starting point is 00:19:25 Will it be sad Alright, how about this You can basically draw a line Down the middle of your body Tattoos on the right Clean body on the left Tatoo You get a tattoo?
Starting point is 00:19:41 How's that for drawing the line? I guess bad because That's sort of like the worst of everything Half of your body is a lot It's basically covering your body Yeah It's like a still weird thing that you did Like why not just cover your whole body in tattoos
Starting point is 00:19:57 And then like a line down the People will definitely do that And then what is the line? Like also a tattoo Because I can't have to be a tattoo So it'd have to be kind of on the tattoo side Tatoo Mate So do what you want
Starting point is 00:20:13 But is it okay if what she wants is not to get tattoos Because she doesn't want to lose this man Yeah, then like that's still the choice that you make That's right And it's okay to choose him, your lover Over you, your body What if you end up being married And have a whole family then you'll value that
Starting point is 00:20:29 Over having tattoos anyway Maybe but then you could also have Love a love life and a marriage And a whole family with somebody who loves you And your love for tattoos and your tattoos That are covering your body These are all the things that you have to consider When you decide if you want to have tattoos
Starting point is 00:20:45 This is going to be a stupid question The choice is yours, you don't get to choose That's right, it's ultimately your decision to make This is going to sound dumb I'm going out on a limb And I know you're going to think this is a dumb question Obviously, right? It's going to be stupid
Starting point is 00:21:01 I'm lowering your expectation Putting the bar all the way down to the ground You're often foolish and bad This is going to be a really stupid question If you have tattoos And you then give birth to a baby The baby And I almost don't even want to ask this question
Starting point is 00:21:17 I feel like I can get there I feel like I can get there Because the baby is born with it No, no, no Are you asking When you ask it so obviously The answer and I want to know what it is But I feel like I already know it
Starting point is 00:21:33 If you feel like you already know it And you were definitely apprehensive About asking the question I'm not afraid to ask a question Because I know there are no bad questions You're tiptoeing around it and you didn't ask it And you're also making a real meal of it So I want you
Starting point is 00:21:49 I'm not afraid of somebody's at home listening And they don't know the answer I'm not afraid to be that martyr for them To not know So I'd like to just address the elephant in the room here That is a stupid question That's a really dumb question As I said as such
Starting point is 00:22:05 So your words mean Shit to me I'm not getting mad at that Because I actually came ahead of it I came ahead of the curve to make you look like a fucking moron What's the answer You're cursing it It's yes
Starting point is 00:22:21 Oh Yes So you know it's a stupid question You know it's stupid Because of how dumb it is Because obviously the answer is Is why it's so stupid Because there's an obvious answer
Starting point is 00:22:37 And you Sorry the answer Yes they don't have tattoos Is what I meant to say That's not what you meant to say Tell me what the fuck the answer They don't come out with tattoos Right that's what I was saying
Starting point is 00:22:53 A tattoo is a drawing on your skin Yeah it's not like a genetic fucking Can you imagine thinking like Okay so what if I Can I imagine you did think that If I have a scar on my hand the kid's not gonna have one right I don't know Why don't you tell me
Starting point is 00:23:11 Because scar is different right Like if I have red hair I might have a redheaded kid Yeah that's genetics Right And scars are they genetic Are you born with a scar That's what I'm saying like This is like what I think is pretty interesting about
Starting point is 00:23:27 It's not interesting it's another stupid question Alright Tis the season tis the season I'm guilty You caught me you crucified me It is Jesus's birthday today I should say real quick so happy birthday to the big one in the sky Hey man how old are you now
Starting point is 00:23:45 How old are you now How old are you Jesus How old are you now So aid or um Yeah like AD Right like there's before Christ and after death right Before now they say BC
Starting point is 00:24:01 Before current era and after current era But it's all about like when Jesus came So Year is 2018 Correct That's basically 2018 years After Jesus walked the earth But is it 2018 years after he died
Starting point is 00:24:19 Or 2018 years after he was born Because he died at 33 So was Jesus living in like 33 but it wasn't 33 AD Or it couldn't have been like 30 AD Because it's after death And I seem to recall that like Well it's not after death
Starting point is 00:24:35 It's like some Latin word After death But I also remember seeing like Jesus was actually born at 4 AD Or something weird like that Interesting We'll look it up during the break We'll come back and we'll educate all you idiots out there That actually don't know the answer to this
Starting point is 00:24:51 Pretty obvious riddle Which is when babies were born with tattoos Alright we'll be back after this My question is smart fucker Thanks for the sponsors Thank you to Aura Frames for sponsoring this Head Gum podcast The entire Head Gum Network

Starting point is 00:29:08 And we're back! Our unsolicited advice is the slight bit Of research we did during the break Alright, here we go, ready? BC stands for Before Christ But AD is a Latin phrase Anno Domini Which means in the year of our Lord
Starting point is 00:29:25 The year Jesus was born That being said, he was actually born Between 6 and 4 BC And Jesus began preaching Around AD 27 to 29 Was there a year zero? No, there was not Whether applied to the Julian
Starting point is 00:29:44 Calendars, AD 1 Is preceded by 1 BC There is no year zero Got it? Not really Not really at all But I don't think this stuff existed when it was going on So nobody was like
Starting point is 00:30:00 Oh, when were you born, BC 2 Oh, so you must be 4 because it's BC AD 2 now Yeah, there were thousands of years later And they reverse engineered the calendar At what point were they like Okay, guys A few years ago It was actually year one
Starting point is 00:30:16 Straight up, I'm telling you I know we think it's What up 4950 in the Gregorian calendar But I'm going to go, I'm going to flip the script And say, it's, yeah We're in 28 So this has, according to the internet
Starting point is 00:30:32 Which I absolutely agree is Gospel fact The original goal of the Gregorian calendar Was to change the date of Easter In 1582 European Here to the Julian calendar First implemented by Julius Caesar
Starting point is 00:30:48 In 46 BC So that's really confusing because if there was already a calendar In 46 BC Were they counting down to Jesus' arrival Yeah, they're counting down, that's fucking bizarre I There's absolutely no clarity Just more stupidity
Starting point is 00:31:04 I understand less than I did before But you know what, this is kind of nice Sometimes you find the answer And sometimes you find so much information That you just like You back out of the room You walk into a room, you see a lot of confusing shit You're like, never mind
Starting point is 00:31:20 So I actually don't care anymore Sometimes you stop giving a shit How's that for being a good student Actually the joke's on you teacher I don't have to understand algebra I actually just have to stop caring Yeah, I wash my hands of this And I think I'll be fine
Starting point is 00:31:36 Regardless of how I do on this exam Is it? Meanwhile after this podcast You're going to read for about an hour About the Gregorian calendar I want to know about time This seems like something Streeter would know about That's true
Starting point is 00:31:52 We should have him on the show and just discuss calendars That would be awesome Hey Streeter, I know you're busy at SNL And raising a brand new baby What's the deal with the fucking calendar? Actually I do know that July and August were added later By September, which should be 7 Is the 9th month, October which should be 10
Starting point is 00:32:08 Or 8 is the 10th month And then November should be 9 And it's the 11th, so all the months are 2 months off Because Julius and Augustus Caesar Just wedged their months in between And made July and August That's an understandable time fact Why did they do that?
Starting point is 00:32:24 Because it's cool to have a month It's not cool to have a name or an empire How about a fucking month Your birthday is my name It just seems like There's no more November It is now August Instead he just wedged it in
Starting point is 00:32:40 We're making a brand new month I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here How rich would you have to be to rename a month At this point Just like a branded month I was born on a mirror The fucking first First of a mirror
Starting point is 00:32:56 So my months actually exist from the 15th through the 15th So January 15th February 15th is Amir So my birthday Technically This whole thing's so fucking dumb But it's Amir 3 Like what is that?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Anyway I think this bumble date's going fine And you haven't touched your entree You haven't touched your entree Just Fingering her beef wellington I'm two knuckles deep in the soft meat Are you gonna eat this pea? We're going Dutch by the way

Starting point is 00:35:08 Blitzen's a seventh day adventist What's up Jake and Amir I'm a long time listener, first time writer 18 year old college student from Cincinnati With some big old butterflies in my stomach I'm dating a 19 year old neighbor We've been together for about four months now I've known her since I was 13
Starting point is 00:35:24 She's my best friend and she's all I ever wanted Things are going great But yes there's always a but We are going away for the weekend to a remote cabin And having our own little Christmas She wants to have a ton of sex And even wants to make me breakfast And nothing but her underwear
Starting point is 00:35:40 I'm super excited but I'm nervous We are spending the whole weekend together by ourselves I'm afraid things won't be the same After our trip Are you ready for us to spend the weekend just the two of us? How long would you guys wait until you spent The weekend with your significant other How should I act?
Starting point is 00:35:56 Is there any advice for my two favorite Jews That you can bestow upon me? Thank you. P.S. Hard one does not need Minor illusion That's what's up bro What's minor illusion? Nothing You wouldn't get it
Starting point is 00:36:12 The D&D podcast a few weeks ago Came down to a literal dick measuring contest And So I think we were trying to convince a bunch of Dwarves to trust us Or something And I was in an argument with this dwarf
Starting point is 00:36:28 And We were each going to whip out our dicks And Murph had us Roll to see who had a bigger dick And And I rolled The D20 But before I even did that
Starting point is 00:36:44 My spells character casted minor illusion To make my dick look big But I rolled really well So you didn't need the minor illusion I didn't need it but because it happened I feel like Yeah It was
Starting point is 00:37:00 It undercut Yeah it's like you don't have to You don't have to lie Like no don't cast any spells I'm showing it in my real log One Anyway This guy doesn't seem like that
Starting point is 00:37:16 I had luck points I would have used one Anyway This guy is a sweet sweet little moron He's an 18 year old He doesn't have anything to worry about But he's nervous nonetheless You're about to have the best weekend of your fucking life A remote cabin
Starting point is 00:37:32 Over Christmas where you have a ton of sex And somebody cooks for you in their underwear Just go Just try to fucking enjoy it Okay Not everything has to have a butt Not everything has to be bad in some way This sounds good but how could it be negative
Starting point is 00:37:48 For me For dead today in a cabin fire Outside of Cincinnati Ohio Just be happy Go fuck the weekend away It does remind me of when you're 18 years old You have no perspective On the parameters of what's normal
Starting point is 00:38:04 What's weird, what's uncomfortable, what's fine So at 18 years old You're taking the first trip, is it too early And all that stuff But odds are nothing bad will happen to you Nothing bad will happen When somebody cooks for you In their undies
Starting point is 00:38:20 Slash sexes you a lot It's too early to take a trip When you feel like You're not ready for the trip But you are really excited You like this person a lot You want to go on the trip You don't need to be like
Starting point is 00:38:36 For two months before we take a trip Just go when you want Do you remember your first trip with your first woman Yeah I guess My first like Solo trip where I went away with somebody Yeah, I do
Starting point is 00:38:56 Which was when, how old were you I believe I was, I think I was 20 Yeah, I was 20 years old And we went To Cape May, New Jersey For like the weekend
Starting point is 00:39:12 And it was the worst weekend Of fucking life Run, run, get out Now all you still can Was it a roughly the four month mark No, I think, I guess I guess technically I like visited this person
Starting point is 00:39:28 At college And like, she had visited me in New York For like mini trips Like when you visit someone at their College and then take a trip within that trip Yeah, so I guess we had done that That's probably like my first trip Was like visiting people at college
Starting point is 00:39:44 But I don't think that really counts That's definitely not the same vibe as what this is Yeah, this is a three day date Yeah, which is why I think The trip trip I think my first one was Cape May What about you I did like a same like trip
Starting point is 00:40:00 From college because my first Girlfriend didn't go to my school So I would like drive to visit her And then we would drive somewhere else Because she was in dorm Motel 6 Outside of Oxnard, California We spent three
Starting point is 00:40:16 Sorrowful weeks Failing out of school with one another Three sorrowful weeks Yeah, we'd go to like Solving or Pump Springs Beginning of week two where you're sorrowful of sorrow Sorrow, yeah It's just like the kind of The cottage cheese ceilings
Starting point is 00:40:32 That used to pop your balloons as a kid I think they call it popcorn ceilings Yeah, popcorn ceiling on the roof Of a dingy motel I could see why there was a lot of sorrow And that's all we ate too It's cottage cheese Congratulations
Starting point is 00:40:48 But you got a good thing going You're doing great One last question This one comes from another lady In the Christmas universe That we'll call Rudolph In a wig
Starting point is 00:41:04 That's right Rudolph a female reindeer Some of the reindeers have to be female Was that true? Donner? Or dancer or prancer Actually reindeer is a male It's a male deer And bucks are the female
Starting point is 00:41:20 That's not true Bucks are definitely the male We're stupid in this episode I don't know if there can be a male And female reindeer But we'll call her Donner Long time listener, first time Donner Here's the deal
Starting point is 00:41:36 I just found out that my ex that I hate so much Because he dumped me not once But twice The first time a communal table At a coffee shop and the second time Two days after meeting my dad Which he asked to do I'm an idiot for having gotten back together
Starting point is 00:41:52 With him but that's not the issue The problem is that I just found out That he gave me HPV It's not one of the serious cancer causing strains And it will go away within a year on its own But I'm still mad that he gave it to me I hate him a lot and I never want to talk to him again So I have to
Starting point is 00:42:08 Do I have to reach out to him and let him know about the status Of his dirty dick Much love P.S. we dated for six months and I haven't spoken since the breakup With me and I called him something to the effect Of a waste of time and space So it ended in a nasty way And now she has a disease
Starting point is 00:42:24 And she's like do I have to let him know He's got the disease I don't think I know enough about HPV To give advice on it Well if she says it's a non-serious cancer causing strain And we'll take that at face value Do you have to let your ex know About his dirty dick
Starting point is 00:42:40 Yeah I just don't know Do you owe it to that boy Yeah I guess I always thought That HPV was like something that guys Would be carriers for and like not necessarily catch I've heard that too So like it doesn't, I just don't know if it means That he has a dirty dick
Starting point is 00:42:56 But it can also mean that he can give it to somebody else Right So do you still tell him I guess if you dislike him it'll probably make him pretty sad So go for it Oh you can say by the way you gave me HPV You dirty dicked asshole Just letting you know you gave me HPV
Starting point is 00:43:12 So you do it in a polite way That's cool Because the information is salty enough So you can almost be polite about it By the way hope you're doing well You gave me HPV Enjoy the holidays I don't think you have to be like polite or
Starting point is 00:43:27 Don her out I think you just be like dry with it Like this is information that I think you should have BTdubs BTdubs is too casual BTdubs is almost like A little too like I'm being flippant about it on purpose
Starting point is 00:43:42 But I don't know if you want to do Like the hey hope you're well Hey just wanted to let you know You gave me HPV FYI as a heads up FYI too cash FYI as a heads up As you start dating
Starting point is 00:44:02 In the future He did cheat on her Oh no sorry He dumped her not once but twice Once at a coffee shop and once two days after meeting the dad I don't know about the cheating He just dumped her twice I'm not 100% sure that this guy is
Starting point is 00:44:18 So much of an asshole That you deserve to be mean about the HPV Dumping at a coffee shop sounds fine That's like almost where you should do it You're supposed to meet at like Newtown Does a man deserve to know That he gave a woman HPV Is it nice to say
Starting point is 00:44:34 Is it mean to say Is it nice to keep a secret It's necessary to say Precautionary steps to not do it to anybody else It's that information going forward It's going to affect his next lovers And it'll make him a little sad So there's that bonus for you
Starting point is 00:44:50 But I think I've changed my answer to tell him politely Because I don't I think him breaking up with you twice Isn't great but Neither is Going back out with him It's really being nice to his next partner So you want to be nice to a stranger
Starting point is 00:45:06 It's considered a good deed to tell him Because he now it's on him To say the next for the person And ain't that in the Christmas spirit Tis the season everyone Alright that's it We're out of time, thanks for listening Enjoy the holidays I guess
