This is a headgum podcast.
What the hell have I gotten into?
I'm so scared that I'll never get advice
That really works to maintain anonymity
There's a podcast with guys from college humor
I guess I'll give it on this scene
And take my mind off of what's wrong
This is the cheese
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
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
I'll just be like
And intro ended
Fall Out Boy, at the onset of the song
Hold on one second, I'm figuring it out
I need to get the levels right
Alright, sorry
Alright, test
Testing, testing, testing
Alright, talking here
Game song just ended and...
You're on
Alright, sorry, now
Actually
Fall Out Boy, I thought
Hold on one second
Ooh, Fall Out Boy, nice
At the onset of that song
I thought it was a Blink 182 or a fucking some 41 cover
But I don't know, I guess I'm kind of a moron like that
Jake here
What's that?
What are you doing?
I was just saying that
I thought that was a
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
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
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?
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?
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
But yeah it probably is online somewhere
I bet it's on YouTube somewhere
That's awesome man
Anyway this is if I were you
The only advice podcast on the internet
Hosted by us
I'm Amir
I'm Jake
Where are you right now
If it's Christmas Eve
Where are you doing that
I am in Connecticut
In Connecticut
At my Aunt Susie's house
Going ham on a ham
She usually we sometimes
Yeah, she makes some food
We have some pizza
Pizza?
Sometimes there's pizza
Sometimes there's like other food that people make
My mom makes cookies
We sing Christmas carols
Oh really?
Legit it is Christmas Eve
We do presents
We do Christmas carols
We read the night before Christmas
Oh you read a Christmas book
Yeah, we do
We go hard on Christmas
On the crick side of the family
Does it feel like Thanksgiving
Or does it feel even more Thanksgiving Eve
Than Thanksgiving
Is it more of a holiday than Thanksgiving
It's more of a holiday than Thanksgiving
I think Thanksgiving is like
An excuse to see everybody
And then there's like
Oh and look there's turkey
And it's fall
And there's like a couple things
Like but Christmas is like
About Christmas
Yeah
There's a tree
There's Santa
There's gifts
There's like
Wreaths
Garlands
There's lights
Is there a ham
I want to know if someone's taking a ham
Out of the oven
We don't do a Christmas ham
And then next day are you eating ham
No I mean Christmas day for our family
Is like we do secret Santa
In the morning
And then the rest of the day
We're just hanging
There's not really any like Christmas traditions
Got it
It's like after
After we open the presents
We become Jewish again
Oh like that was it
You wear
It wears off
The spell is gone
The curse has been lifted
Yeah
And it's just
Hating each other until Passover
Our favorite holiday
Where we do eat a ham on Matzah
I love Christmas Eve
I think it's really nice
Would you say it's your favorite holiday
Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday
What's your Christmas Eve like
You don't even fucking realize
That it's the 24th of December
It might as well be the 21st
You're at a movie
Maybe
You're at home watching a Laker game
You're doing nothing
Yeah there's
A football game on
So you don't see the family
The family
No I have no family
Between the 21st of December
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Pretty obvious riddle
Which is when babies were born with tattoos
Alright we'll be back after this
My question is smart fucker

Jill's grandma was pregnant
Really nice asshole
This was actually a really sweet moment for me and my wife
And you're trying to make a joke of it
I was just being goofy a little bit
Like this is how I told my grandma
She was pregnant
She misheard it or something like that
Or the way you said it was kind of like
Could go either way
By the way, Jill's grandma is pregnant

It's pretty cool

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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?
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
What's gravy made of?
Oh shit
I'm sorry about that
I spilled my rosé
No way rosé
We should also remind people

Alright let's answer some more questions
Here's a question
From Hanukkah Harry
Very good
But Hanukkah's already over
Okay so we're going all Christmas
All the time
This question's from Rudolph
And you can fucking fight me
If you want it to be from any other Jew in your life
Blitzen's actually a quarter Jewish
No he's fucking not
Not too shabby
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Have fun with your families this week
And we'll be back next week
Oh my god next week's episode will be a New Year's Eve episode
Whoa
Why are all the holidays this way
Why are all these holidays so back to back
Like we spend all year and there's like a few holidays
And it's like Thanksgiving, New Year's, Christmas
All within five weeks of each other
And Hanukkah
And don't forget about Hanukkah
And Kwanzaa
I'm saying Thanksgiving should be in July
Christmas could be in December
They're all arbitrary
Yeah time is just a construct
Personally I was born on a mere the third
So I feel like I have a pretty good leg up
On the Gregorian
Or Bloominfeldian calendar at this point
I don't think she wants dessert but I'll have
A peek at the menu
What do you have that's gluten and dairy free
