This is a headgum podcast.
The figures in Jake's room he's always painting
Me to them just meant for TNT
And it's a long way back from 33
The chipmunk gives advice to me and I'm
I'm not getting blown, I need help
I'm nearly 16 years involved in fast
Let's ask if I were your show
Wow, that was just half the song
Oh man, I love that
There was too much of it that I wanted to split it up
First half being the opening theme song
Second half will be the closing theme song
Because there was too much and it was too good
Do you know what that was a parody of?
It was Blink 182, but I don't know the name of the song
It feels like a new Blink
Oh is it? Yeah, it's all vaguely familiar to me
So I can't really tell the difference between like new and old
But I guess it's new because you don't exactly know what it is
No, yeah, it doesn't
It makes me happy to hear, but it doesn't stir the same emotions
As if I were to hear, say, a carousel parody
Or a pathetic parody
Something off of Dude Ranch or Cheshire Cat
Got it, yeah, so this is called
Bored to Death
Do you know what that is?
No, it is Blink though, right?
Yeah, that's what he says
It's a Blink 182 parody of Bored to Death
Been watching your content since the college humor days
My buddy Noah, whose song you used recently
And I both really love the podcast
Please never change the unsolicited advice theme
We're both big Blink fans, we rock climb
And Noah even plays D&D
So we're basically Jake
I spoof Bored to Death theme song
So I hope you guys can use it
Love David Kim
Interesting
Bored to Death theme song
Is it a Blink song?
I guess so, we gotta find out
We should after this episode
We'll listen to Bored to Death by Blink 182
So we can hear the original
Okay, great
It sounds close enough that I believe him
Yeah, yeah, but it also almost sounds like a
I don't know, like a train song or something
But maybe that's just because that's like his voice
You know, like that's what he did
Yeah, it seems like Blink 182 songs
Are either silly or serious
Right?
You could say that about Eminem as well
Yeah, he has like
My bum is on your lips
And also like
Fuck you Kim, I'ma kill you bitch
Yeah, and Blink 182 has that kind of like
What's my age again
Like the state looks down on Saddam
Saddamie, I pranked your
Prank phone called your dad
And then also please tell mom this is not her fault
About suicide
I'm sorry
When I was editing
What's that one about?
Don't waste your time
Yeah, I think that's from their south title too
Where are you?
And I'm so lonely
Are you lonely or are you guys running around naked?
Because it seems like you're very bipolar
That song he calls something the six string darkness
Which is like really like it sounds poetic
And it truly means nothing
But it didn't need to mean anything
This was the 90s
Well this was in 2015 I think
Really?
That was their, I don't know their self title
Maybe it was 2012
It was a different time
Jesus
It was pre-Trump, that's all we need to know
But definitely after 9-11
Shit had already gotten real
I feel like there's another era now doesn't it
It's like the pre 9-11
But then like after that there was like
There was another time where things kind of got chill
Yeah, and now they're not chill anymore
It was post 9-11 pre-Trump chill
Oh yeah, the 90s of the 2000s will call them
I like that actually
That's a podcast
No it's not
Well I guess it's our podcast
That's right, that's our new log line
This is If I Were You, the only advice podcast
On the internet hosted by me
And me, I'm Jake
You're going to Paris?
I am actually, I am going to Gay Paris
And I'm going to be there, I leave tomorrow night
Holy shit, what's the plan there?
So, my wife
Her friends were going to Paris
Oh is this the one where she wanted to go
And you're like I'll come with
And she's like it's sort of a friends trip
And then you're like I can do like a friends trip
Right, it was sort of like
I was like oh that Jill was like I want to go
And I was like oh that sounds really fun
But I don't know if I can permit you to go by yourself
Right
And you know that sort of caused a little bit of a
Cause she might French kiss
Right, I would hate for her to go all the way to Europe
To cheat on me
Right
So I'm kind of going as an unboying
Like a chaperone
A chaperone
An unwelcome guest to be sure
Because the allowing her to go thing
Didn't sit well with Jill or her friends
For that matter
Yeah, just saying allow
It has a bad ring to it
Yeah, it was a nasty way to put things for sure
But now I am going to be there
And I don't think they want to have a sour time
They don't want me in a rotten mood
So I don't think anyone's going to really
I think everyone's trying to like smooth things over
Like oh no, it is fun, it's cool
It's like weird circumstances
Why is here, but we're going to be chill
And then I'll be like
I'll be sort of a nasty boy on the day when I arrive
You'll be a dark cloud a little bit
Yeah, I will be a dark cloud
I don't like museums, I don't like sightseeing
And I don't know if I want to permit Jill to enjoy those things
Because fear that she'll find a French lover
Which everybody can understand
Yeah, because like you have a nasty attitude
And she might meet someone who's like really into the stuff that she's in
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm a shitty guy
Is what it comes down to
And if she leaves my sight for long enough
She might realize that or somebody else
Yeah, somebody could swoop in
Yeah, like what if she takes a museum tour right
And then like the guide is like pretty intelligent
Like French has long hair, is kind of jacked
And he's like talking about like art history in a way that's really cool and interesting to her
And you're not there to like make snide comments and stuff like that
I mean even if this guy is but ugly
If she is around someone who's not emotionally abusive
And vindictive and small and petty and shallow as I am
I fear that she will see that the grass is indeed greener
On the other side, yes
So I need to be there and I need to be in a foul mood
And I need to be a bed
Especially I need to be a bed
Because then she may want to not stray too far from the hotel
As long as she's going to a pâtisserie
That I can see from the balcony
Did you say leave the bed?
I'm not going to leave the bed of the hotel
Right, got it
So you'll just sort of see within the purview of the balcony
But once she like strays from that radius
It's sort of like all this
I'll shriek and I'll scream and I'll cry
And I'll threaten to hurt myself
Like a captive person
And she'll have to return
And we're also going to go to Copenhagen
Oh that sounds fun
That's a new little development
The other day because we're coming back next week
And then I was just like well what if we extended the trip for three days
And we could just go to a different place
And then I like looked on Google Maps
And I just pinpointed a place that looked cool
And then I looked at the flights and they were cheap as hell
To Denmark
Yeah, so now I'm going to go to Denmark
Is it because it's February and it's like dark for 18 hours
And negative 4 degrees out
What?
It's like not really high travel
Is it cheap because it's like not high travel season
And nothing's really open or going on
It's going to be like freezing rain the entire time
You guys are going to be cooped up in a hotel room
I didn't really think about that Blumenfeld
Yeah usually there's like peak travel season
Well I looked at like Condé Nast Traveler
You know like
You saw pictures of beaches and stuff
I looked at Copenhagen and yeah there's like people kayaking
And they're outside drinking beer
That's all June, July, August
And a lot of beer garden outdoor drinking
Yeah it looked really nice
Over the summer
The sun was shining quite brightly in the photos
What dates are you going to be there?
Well we'll be there on February 19th until the 22nd
I see right now that's called the cold season
It's the coldest day of the year
The air actually freezes
Well how am I going to go to an outdoor mall?
You can't
If the temperatures are frigid
You know how I'm sensitive to moisture
Negative 41 Celsius
Really? Centigrade?
Yeah well at negative 40 it's pretty much the same thing
Between Centigrade and Fahrenheit
Ah shi-
Shiza
That's German
No fucking way
I downloaded the wrong Duolingo
I learned to spreckency toys
I took a frickin' class
Dammit
In the wrong lane
I actually almost went to
I looked into going to Iceland again
Jesus Christ haven't you got enough?
I can't stay away I really want to see the northern lights
It was way too expensive
Oh really even in February?
Yeah oddly enough
Because of northern lights stuff
Maybe so
Or maybe even pilots don't want to go
To Iceland in the winter
Just like everybody's not going
I'd rather quit
What about you? You gotta
No let's chat man
We don't have to get to the advice shit right away
I'm not going anywhere in February until
Actually I'm going to New York in March for our show
That'll be the next trip
There you go and that's it
By the way I looked up
I asked Twitter based on our last episode
How many of you wear long underwear in the cold?
I was floored
Remarkably low
Half the people never wear long underwear
Regardless of how cold it is
That's bananas but then I also
I know that you said you never did
And for most of my time in New York
I did not either
But really once you start
Like I'm addicted
It was 55 the other day
And I threw on some long undies
I didn't give a fuck
Yeah you were two turtlenecks
And a tutu
That was the original tutu
It was a two turtleneck
Only 15% of people said always in the cold
That's nice
So let's see if we can get that percentage up
Good man
Alright let's answer some questions
Before it's too late
Why not
Here's when you found about a 23 year old
Dude from Michigan
Who I'll call Magic Johnson
Because he was once a 23 year old
Dude from Michigan
Nice
I'm heading off to dental school in August
But until then I'm living at home with my parents
Working to make some cash for school
Anyway there's not a lot to do around my hometown
Because most of my friends are either in school
Or I've moved on to a big boy job
I've since taken my talents to tinder and bumble
To find a cute fun gal
And I happened to stumble upon a girl
I went to high school with
A stumble on bumble
That's right
She was a year above me
But still a cute athletic girl
That I could see myself dating
I said freak it
And swiped right
And we matched
I'm kind of a timid guy
So I didn't message her
And just kind of forgot about matching with her
But then a week went by
And I wake up one morning with a tinder message from her
At 2 AM
Saying drunk confession time
I'm slightly obsessed with you
That's all
Have a nice night
Wow
I messaged her back
And she said that she and her mom
Were binge watching Grey's anatomy
Drinking wine
After a little more chitchat
She confessed that she was a little embarrassed
But happy that she sent the message
Because she actually meant it
We've been snapchatting each other
For about a month
But I've yet to hang out
She lives at home with her parents as well
Before she goes off to grad school
So we're both in the same boat
My question is this
Should I pursue this gal for a relationship
Even though I'm going to be leaving the state
In six months
Or should I just hang out with her
And seize as much cheese as possible
Until I leave for school
Cheers and towed up
P.S. Love and the E.P.L. Patreon content
I'm an Everton fan
Everton?
Yeah
You know, loosely related to the E.P.L. pod
Or directly, actually
After we had Tom and Connor on Sunday
Yeah
They tried to convince me to like
Wolverhampton
The Wolves
The Wolves
The Wolverhampton Wanderers
Yeah
And I must admit that I love the name
Okay
So we'll keep an eye on them
Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch a match
Okay
I feel like six months is
Plenty long enough
Like you're not starting a relationship
Under false pretenses there
Right?
Like six months is like you can
You could like easily
Date for a while and break up
And like have it not even be about
You leaving town
Yeah, that's
This guy is so passive
He's like
I matched and I didn't message her
Then she said she's obsessed with me
But I'm leaving town in half a year
Should I do anything about it?
Yeah, like
What are you talking about?
Why did you download
Why did you download Bumble then?
If you're
If you're
If you're not planning on starting a relationship
Yeah, for six months
For six months, that's the point of Bumble
So you can date people for six months
That's a long ass time
For Bumble, that's the longest time
Yeah, that's a marriage on Bumble
That's a Bumble marriage
It's six months of time
Especially because she went out
Of her way to message you
She wants to hang out with you
And you still won't do anything about it
So why don't you at least take this
One mini-step towards actually making a
Cool decision for once
For once you've got them one
And you don't have to consider it as
Seizing the cheese as much as possible
Just hang out with her once
Right, it's not
See what happens
It's not seizing that much cheese
It's a small seize of the cheese
Yeah, this is like
She's done 95% of the work
And she's asking you to do the last 5%
And you're like
I don't know, I'm still on the fence
Yeah, sample the cheese
Have a costco size cube of cheese
With a toothpick in it
Then you come back 5 minutes later
And hope that the person doesn't remember you
And sample another cheese
And they're like
You've been to my station before
You have a toothpick sticking through your cheek
You didn't remove it before you ate the cheese
Yeah
And he's like
I didn't come here for another piece of cheese
I came here to borrow your phone
To call 911 because I'm bleeding out
Yeah
And when I come back here next time
It won't be for a cube of cheese
It's gonna be for the whole damn thing
Take a lawsuit the size of that wheel of cheese behind you
Because my dad is actually a big cheese lawyer
And he's gonna have your ass on
Not unlike the platter that you're serving the cheese in
And I'm gonna have your boar's head for this
Very nice
And then you slip in a pool of your own blood
And fall into a stack of television
Yeah
And then she sort of takes the toothpick out of your cheek
And she notices that you super glued one side
To the inside of your mouth
And the other one to the outside
To make it look like you had stabbed yourself
And just another Costco you're not allowed in
Just like that
It's that easy, folks
Alright, here's another question
Okay
From another confused gentleman
About Valentine's Day
Which is coming up
Ooh
I should say it's
So we're recording this on Tuesday
Valentine's Day is on Thursday
And we're not gonna release this until a little bit after
But
Yeah
At least it's gonna help him for next Valentine's Day
That's right
We'll call this guy
He didn't say where he's from
Oh, Cupid
Let's call him Cupid
It's a Valentine's Day thing
That's fun
Cupid's a naked little fat angel
That shoots people
Yeah, does Cupid wear a diaper?
He sure does wear a diaper
Is it a diaper?
Or is it just underwear?
Or is he just straight up nude sometimes?
Yeah, like, have you ever seen Cupid's little tiny dick?
Have you ever seen Cupid just on the off season
He's wearing like a onesie?
Yeah, so it's like Cupid
But like, he's not necessarily shooting people
With arrows right now
He's like just wearing like little jeans
And a shirt that says
Mom, he's number one fan
He's working on like a screenplay
Yeah, so he's at a coffee shop
All the Cupid one, I just Googled Cupid
And he's definitely in
He's in like a kind of a cloth diaper
Yeah
It's kind of like an old underwear
Right, now I just searched
Nude Cupid
Yeah, or Nupid
Yeah
There's a couple where he's just
Where it's a naked
Now I'm looking at child porn
Okay
Actually, now let me just search
Random one-year-olds
Because the Cupid thing kind of takes me out of it
There is some like weird little
Oh god, this is like a baby angel
With a really tiny dick
But he has kind of like
He's like a little toned
I hate what I found
Cupid's like pretty jack
Now I'm gonna search Cupid naked
Six pack
I'm absolutely on a fucking registry for this
Oh
Jesus Christ
A wedding registry
I have to go knock on my neighbor's doors
I'm gonna turn myself in after this show
Alright, here's the question for that Cupid rights
Dear Amir, this is a question for Jake
And yeah, I'm a day one Starbucks killer joy boy
Okay
It's not weird that the Starbucks joke is
An episode one thing
Episode one
Kill yourself in a Starbucks
Yeah
That was when we peaked
It's been a slow descent since then
I wanna listen to episode one
See how different it sounds from like episode three fifty three
Hmm
That'd be cool
Hopefully you can answer this before Valentine's
Here's a little background info for ya
I have been in a relationship with a twelve cent doll piece
For the last five years
I have left my girlfriend wet, gleaming and orgasmed
A multitude of times
I left her orgasmed
That's right, she's been gleamed for him
Jesus
She's shiny
Slick as a newborn
Newbile too
We are rather open Cupid rights
And I guess I have always wanted to experiment
With some tools in the bedroom
I'd say pocket pussies, dildos, vibrators
And yes, even lube
I'm not even sure she knows about this though
That being said, in honor of Valentine's Day
I decided it would be in her best interest
And my best to invest in a vibrator
Now here's my question
I give it to her
And what if she says no?
Can you say no to a vibrator?
You open a gift and just say no
I know this gift
I say no to it
How do you give a sex toy for Valentine's Day?
Do you just go for it from zero to vibrator?
I would suggest
You definitely like get the vibrator
Like if you've got ideas to improve your sex life
And you guys discuss these things
And it's like sexy and cool
I'm all for it
Here's my pitch though
It is not the Valentine's Day gift
That's a bonus
That's just a thing that you'll have
On Valentine's
Don't make her unwrap it
Like it's a gift
Like get her a card
Get her chocolates
Get her flowers
Normal Valentine's Day stuff
Take her out to dinner
Something like
Just like on the boring
On a more normal spectrum
Take her to Copenhagen
You gotta go to Copenhagen on Valentine's Day
It's a Danish holiday
It's Denmark based paste
It's Copenhagen chic
And it's this year
And it's Saturday
And it's dark
It's Hugga
It's Hugga for sugar
It's absolutely getting hyphy
And high-gee with the wifey
That was the groupon that I used
For our hostel
For five Dutch Franks a night
Get a high-gee with the wifey
A shared twin mattress
So you're saying get her the gift
But not necessarily a Valentine's Day gift
Correct
I think that you can get it
But you don't have to make it a presentation
Yeah
Although like
If you're gonna get her a vibrator as a gift
Like Valentine's Day seems like the perfect time
Because it's not really like a birthday gift
It's not an anniversary thing
It's like a love-based novelty
Yeah, but I just think that like
A sex gift should just be kind of like
A random surprise gift
It's a gift, not the gift
What if you give her a coupon for a back massage
And a vibrator
Oh, that's good
So you give her a coupon for a back massage
She's like, cool
Then you start massaging her back with the vibrator
And she's like, this is weird
And then you're like, well, that's because it's not for your back
And then you show it to her
And then she breaks up with you
You say
You actually already redeemed the coupon
So joke's on you
And I have a couple coupons myself
This one's for a do not break up with me
Use any time, no blackout dates
So I'll use that one now
This one's for a free dinner
So you gave yourself the coupons in this scenario
Yeah, and this one just says 10% off bed, bath and beyond
It came in the mail, unrelated to that
It's kind of interesting
Just a big book, like a big book of coupons
That are like for everyone's mutual benefit
So it's like, yeah, so there's a free foot massage
That's good
Okay
And a free, a free dinner
And then this one's for me
Which is free head
A water pick
And I can watch the football game
Without you yammering on about why
I'm not hanging out with your friends
We did brunch last week
Here's the coupon
Christ
Are you aware that there's another football league
That just started this year?
Excuse me?
There's like the A Alliance Football League
The AFL which started
Like a private league
That started the week after the Super Bowl
No, or is anybody good in it?
There's a few like ex-NFL players
I know Trent Richardson, who is a high draft pick
Who didn't do anything in the NFL
Is playing in it
Very interesting
Where is it popular? Is it good?
I don't know
I'm more of an EPL guy now
That's actually really cool
Let me tell you the eight teams in the AFL
Just if any of them peak your interest
Okay, but honestly, if it's not like the Tottenham Hotspurs
I don't care, but go ahead
The Memphis Express
I mean, I love it
I love it
The Memphis Express
Okay, yeah, yeah
But let's keep on going
The Orlando Apollos
The Arizona Hotshots
The Salt Lake Stallions
The San Antonio Commanders
And lastly, the San Diego Fleet
I'm out
I didn't even know where you landed after all that
Yeah, I'm not interested
I'm in the fleet
Alright, I got you a San Diego Fleet jersey
Thank you, dude
Alright, let's take a break
We'll come back and answer some more questions after this
Cool

Directly into my parents' kitchen

She was pregnant
We got her the Aura frame
We plugged it in
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
Yeah, kind of like 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
Oh my god
Jill's grandma is 90 and pregnant
It's pretty cool
And you told me with a digital photo frame
Holy smokes
And we let her know with an Aura

Jake, do you have any?
Oh, it's a little...
Mom, I'm coming
Gross
Yes, I do
Wait, but first
Are there tickets left for our DC show?
Because we should say that that's the unsolicited advice first, right?
Yeah, there might be
We're now less than a month away
March 9th in DC
We might have some tickets left
I'll put up a link on jacadamere.com
New York show, of course, sold out
So DC is your best opportunity to see us
In the Eastern seaboard
Before 2020
Yeah, yeah
Okay, so my unsolicited advice is hooks
Hooks
Hooks
Let me guess what you're trying to say there
Okay, I'm a big hook guy now
But go ahead, try to guess
Hook
For hanging stuff on your walls?
Correct, Amundo
Really?
Yes
So, here's what I...
When I moved, I wanted to...
There was like a closet
Where there was just one random hook on the side of the wall
I was like, what the hell, what's the point of this thing?
And then I put my climbing bag there
And it fits so neatly and nicely
And I didn't have to keep it on the floor
Or up on top of the back of the closet
And then I ordered another one
Because I wanted to put one in my other closet
For another backpack
And you can't get just one hook on Amazon
Uh-oh
You open the door to your house
There's hooks everywhere
So what I did, babe, was...
Yeah, everything has a hook, right?
So if you need a spoon or a fork
There's hooks for that, right?
Careful, don't walk there, that's where I put the hooks
Actually, look at my feet, babe
Hovering above the ground, right?
That's because I'm actually hooked to the wall right now
Yeah, it's...
And if you want to just go to sleep
You hook yourself into the bed, just like that
Don't touch the ground, the ground is lava
So I got like 24 hooks or something
So then I started trying to brainstorm
All the different places I could put my hooks
Of course
So I put one in my bedroom closet
Just like against the side
Because I wear the same pair of pants
Like most of the time
I wash my pants probably once every week or two
So rather than like fold them
And put them on top of a dresser
And a chair on the corner of the room
Where it looks a little messy
I can just put them on a hook
Without having to put them back in a drawer
They're always there, ready to go
Trusty pants every day
And like there's a hook now
Behind the sink cabinet
Where I put like a little...
Where I put like a little washcloth
It just really...
Tomorrow's floss?
Yeah, it's really convenient
And I think it's like kind of elegant too
It makes things look a little neater
So if you're trying to condo your life
Yeah
You can hook it up, you know what I'm saying?
That's good
You can start like a custom hook line
Called by hook or by crook
And then you can figure out different ways
And different styles of hooks
Are you rolling with?
That really feels like...
I don't want to like fully
Get into the hook game
Where I'm promoting my own hooks
I just...
I'd love for everybody to find their own hooks
They have like a stick on hooks too, right?
That's exactly what I use
Because I'm not...
Drilling into the wall
Is like normally what I'd like to do
Because it's like a little more substantial
But these are just...
I don't know
Exactly where I want all these hooks
They're all testers
So it's really...
It's nice having the little stick on hooks
And they work really well
They hold up like my backpack
With the weight of a laptop and a charger
And shoes in it
Wow, and it's just sticking to the wall with adhesive
Can hold up your like ten pound backpack?
Yeah
It's...
They are not fucking around
It's great
It's a miracle
Alright, hooks
Hooks
What are your thoughts on ladders?
Really nice
Why don't you come to the table
For once in your goddamn life
It's the monseless dude advice, okay?
During the break I said
I don't really want to talk about hooks
And you're like
Can I talk about a different one today?
Um
It's kind of
It's kind of time-pressing
You're really going to call me out
Call me out for also liking hooks
It's a family emergency
Yeah
But hook...
You said hooks is a decent one
But it'll play well next week
Let me take the floor this time around
I tell you what
I'm going to edit this podcast this week
Because I want to cut that out
Where you defame me
Alright, I'll send you the audio
Alright, sweet
So when I upload it
That whole last hook thing
Where you called me out for stealing yours
Is just going to be edited out
And I actually
Yeah
I don't appreciate it
I liked the idea of hooks
That's why I told you
I said
I did say I had a family emergency
What you said is true
What you said is true
I'm just going to tell you though
It will never see the light of day
Fortunately
And if all of this is still in the episode
Then just know that
Jake didn't edit it
I edited the episode
No, well, it won't be
I edited the episode
It'll be kind of like a litmus test
For who edited the episode
Is whether or not
You heard the last five minutes of the podcast
And they won't have
So let's just try to get into the episode
Cleanly
Because
Get into it
Or get into the second half
We're half an hour deep
So let's just take it from me saying
Hooks, that's my pitch
And then you're like
Alright, that's great
Thanks for the original idea
And then we'll move on
Alright
Alright, fine
Go
Alright, so that's it
Hook
I like that
Why are you laughing?
Shit
Also, you don't know how to edit
Hooks, that's my idea
That's my idea, folks
Actually, I created a website
By hooking by crook
I really want to get into hooks
Alright
Back to the questions and answers
We got an anonymous one
From somebody calling himself
The Turtle Avenger
So maybe we should keep that name
I love it
The Turtle Avenger writes
Here's some background information
I'm a senior in high school
With very little friends
And even less of those are female
But there's this one girl in particular
That I talk to a lot
And we message each other online daily
Little more background
I am way too shy to ask her out
And have never had a girlfriend before
But that seems besides the point
Okay, now to the real matter at hand
We started chatting one night online
And got to talking about hentai
For some reason
And she decided to use the website
That generates a random hentai image
Anyways, we kept sharing images
We got from there with each other
And discussed the physics of the woman
And the actual art style
As well as the key features
Like the way the nipples were drawn
Or the way the legs bend
Anyhow, my question for you guys is
Is this normal?
Is looking at hentai porn in general
With a member of the opposite sex
In a kind of non-sexual way
Normal?
Or is that extremely out of the ordinary?
Also, does this ruin my chances
Of asking her out?
Much thanks for looking at my question
I know it's a weird one
But hopefully you can find the time
To get around to it
I appreciate you taking a look
This far down
What do you think?
I don't think it's normal
I think it's very romantic
I think it's very crushy
I think he has reason to believe
That this lady is
At the very least open to
His romantic suggestions
A date asking out
Wouldn't seem out of the ordinary
This guy reminds me of a young's
Me when I was 18
Where I'm like, I don't know if this girl
Actually likes me
Or she's just sending me porn
In like a non-sexual way
I don't want to read too much into it
But she sent me a picture of nipples
And talked about how much she likes them
And I look at hentai porn
With members of the opposite sex all the time
And I think it's completely normal
Yeah, but would it be
With a completely non-romantically
Interested female friend in high school
When hormones are running wild?
I do it all the time
With high schoolers, yes
It is not sexual
Yes, Blumenfeld
Wake up, you old square
If you're still editing the podcast
I would remove that part too
Yeah, this is
It's crazy
Like he's
This is so clearly
Sexual and sweet
And nice and cute
And you guys like each other
And you're into the same stuff
It's not like they just happen to
Start sharing hentai
Because they don't share
Some of the same passions
And perhaps turn on
Yeah
Even though he thinks this wasn't sexual
A lot of guys like
Read too much into things in a positive way
Like this girl's totally into me
Because she looked at me
Right, she likes my photo on Instagram
Should I smash?
Right
And then there's like
The other end of the spectrum
Where like
Clear romantic chemistry
Related things are happening
Synapses are firing
And then you're like
I don't know
Maybe she's just
Doing this as like a friend
Which is possible
But you can at the very least
Maybe ask her to hang out
Right
You can at least proceed
As if this was a unique situation
That was just
Like that was just for you
Because she likes you
Yeah, but it's good
Because this guy's literally
Half my age
Maybe even less
So like he doesn't have the experience to draw
And he doesn't know
For the next 18 years
These things happen between friends
And they mean nothing
So we can lend our wisdom
Our insight
And let them know that
It is a little bit more than nothing
That's true
That is true
But there's also the fun thing
Of like thinking that it's nothing
And then like
Kissing somebody
And being super surprised
Yeah
But I wouldn't be surprised
At this point
Right
But I'm gonna tell him
That it means nothing
So that way
When something does happen
He will experience the pure joy
Of a kiss
That you weren't expecting
Wow, you are a little cupid
And yet
Your little one-year-old dick is out
All right
Editing that out too, you fucker
I see a little cloth diaper
Hanging by a hook
Over your trash can
Okay, quiet
Quiet down
Quiet down
We're gonna edit that out
One last question
From an Australian female
An Aussie female
Who's the most famous Australian female?
Margot Robbie
That's pretty good
Was there an Australian female tennis player?
There's a lot of Australian male tennis player
Hmm
Australian female tennis player
Margaret Court
Johanna Conta
I like Margaret Court
She plays after
She's named after what she plays on
No, she's such an old school tennis player
They named the surface after her
Really?
John Tennis and Margaret Court
That's cool
She won 24 Grand Slam titles in the 50s
Jesus
That's insane
Is that like the most ever?
Uh, Grand Slam's won singles 24
That's crazy
It might be the most ever
How many, like, yeah, how many does
friggin' Federer have?
I think he has roughly that many as well
11 in the open era
I don't know what was going on before then
In the 50s they were just handing out Grand Slam's
Yeah, I actually have one
Yeah, that's awesome
You were born in the 50s, that's cool
Alright, Margaret Court writes
I'm a 22-year-old from Australia
And I've been with my boyfriend for almost three years
Last night, he admitted to me that he smoked meth
Four months back when he was 18
Before we were together
Obviously, I was like WTF
The worst drug he told me he had taken up
Up until that point was ecstasy
And I know he used to be a full-time smoker
This is the first time he has opened up
About his past part of his life
And honestly, I'm shocked
He has always been so against drugs
And doesn't even touch a cigarette to this day
Do I have to be a little bit cheesed off?
Do I have the right to be a little cheesed off here?
I told him everything about my past
And assumed he had done the same
I'm disappointed that he ever did this
But I'm honestly more hurt that he waited
Almost three years to tell me
Where are your guys' thoughts?
I don't know what to do here
Should I just act like everything is all G?
I can't help but look at him differently
Even though that was why he didn't want to tell me
In the first place
Thanks, love
Margaret Court
I thought that she was talking about
Like he smoked meth three months ago
And she just found out
Three years, yeah, that's fine
Yeah, she's been with him for three years
And then four months before they were together
He smoked meth
Yeah, that's fine
Margaret, you gotta let this one go, man
Why is she so cheesed off then?
Because it's a scary, dangerous drug
Yeah, it is
I get that you can feel like you don't know somebody
But you gotta remember that you've known him
For the last three years
And the reason that he didn't want to tell you
Isn't because he's still addicted to meth
It's because he thought
That you were gonna look at him differently
Which is exactly what you're doing
So you're sort of proving him right
In that regard
I knew you'd be cheesed
Yeah, you're teaching him it's good to lie
I'm actually not cheesed, mate
I'm not cheesed at all
I'm not super cheesed with you
I'm actually vegan cheesed
And to prove it
I'm gonna have a cheese in Vegemite Sandy
I'm not cheese of you, mate
I'm actually cashew cheesed
And yahoo serious
Yeah, I think it's fine
I mean, it's good that he told you
And I also think it's kind of weird
When relationships are all about like
You have to tell me your entire past
Like, you don't really have to do that
I think that
Including the meth?
Yeah, I think that you sort of
I mean, share some stuff from your past
That you think has shaped you
But I feel like you should really be sharing
More about what you are now
Yeah, I think you said that once recently
It's like anything that happened before I met you
Is a lock box, a mystery closet
That is forbidden and locked to enter
But starting now, my life is an open book, babe
I think that's healthy
Maybe the lock box couldn't have like
A code that everybody knows
But there's not really any reason to go
Digging around back there
Yeah, but there is something
That once you have the
There's like a Simpsons joke where it's like
What is your infatuation with my forbidden
Closet of mystery?
Once you like don't
Once you have this secret past
This locked up thing
People are more interested, more excited
More curious than ever before
Right, and then you find meth in there
And you're like, oh, yeah
No wonder it was locked
The whole I didn't want to tell you
Because you'd be mad as a
As a trump card a lot of people play
Like whenever someone finds out something
And is mad at you
And you're like, well that's why I didn't tell you
Because you're mad
And then the other trump card is like
Well, I'm mad that you didn't tell me
And this girl can't even use that line
Because she, he did tell her
Yeah, well he told her really late
I think there's like
I don't know
I guess my advice to this person
Is to
Try to like understand
Not like why they didn't tell you
But just like try to get a bigger picture
Of what's going on
In your boyfriend's life
Currently, and like
As long as you feel confident
That he's not doing drugs
That make you nervous for his
For his life
Then I think it's okay that he did it
You can like talk more about his past
If you really need to
Yeah, also he hasn't done it in three years
I hope
That's the thing that you got to find out
I feel like the question isn't like
Why the hell didn't you tell me
I'm super cheesed at you
It's the question is like
What was that experience like for you
And would you ever want to smoke meth again
Did you like it
Are you at risk of being addicted
That kind of thing
No sense in re-litigating it
God, meth
Would you do meth if you were just like
Guarantee that you weren't going to die
Just to like have the feeling
Kind of like in a controlled environment
Yeah
That should be like a type of doctor
That lets you experience drugs in a controlled environment
Or like in a type of an amusement park
Like you could just go into a little room
Do a drug surrounded by doctors
And know that you'll survive
But it's also about not being addicted
Yeah, so this is what they do
It's like an amusement park
But instead of rides
It's just different closets
And you go in there and we give you
We administer this drug to you
In a controlled environment
So there's like a really long
You'd get like a fast pass for meth
Because that one has a really long line
And when you get your little
When you get your number
It's a closet
Because it's a very controlled environment
It's like a safe space
That's too controlled
And they give you
It's not even a space
It's really small
Yeah, they give you a meth
It's claustrophobic
So you're in a closet on crystal meth
We can keep the line
We can keep the name
Amusement park
Because it still is an amusement park
But instead of rides
It's just closets
Closets with meth
But then you can't really leave
Until you promise
You have to promise
You have to swear
That you can't do it again
This is like some kind of medieval torture
This isn't an amusement park
This is a
Yeah, so I'll give you meth
But you have to promise
This is a horror movie
This is a horror movie
You're some kind of
Sadistic serial killer mad scientist guy
This is a black mirror episode actually
I could see that
Yeah
It's like a drug park
An amusement park
For adults who want to experience drugs
I'm actually not too against it
Yeah, you gotta
Yeah, you gotta do it smart
No closets, okay?
Okay, bud?
Yeah, maybe
Maybe, uh
Maybe it's the roller coaster still
So you're fucking shooting up
On Splash Mountain
Let's chill
It's the purge meets Disney World
So for one day a year
We let heroin addicts ride
The frickin' Matterhorn
Amen

Bye
I just jumped onto a hook
On the copier if used to be let down
Or the way more Benz girls milk got all over
A mirror's face over and over and over
Let me ask you a thing
And let me know what you think

From this dude for a clip bar

So embarrassed I was so sober
So I'll ask over and over and over
If I were you is the best place for closure
That was a headgum podcast
