Starting point is 00:02:32 Right, wow Shit, this is definitely the closest we've ever Ever, ever gone from recording to posting Yeah Yeah, well hopefully it doesn't come back To bite us in the butt It should be the same, right? It doesn't matter
Starting point is 00:02:44 Yeah, I think we still do the same thing I mean, definitely I've never recorded this podcast Feeling more depressed than I do right now Is that true? You felt pretty low Yeah, I guess the weekend after my birth Down is really depressed I wanna get to your nervous breakdown
Starting point is 00:03:01 As a break fodder Oh yeah, yeah, I'll save it I'll save it That's good It incentivizes people to listen Why did Jake have a nervous breakdown? Why did he at one point Just let's tease a single moment
Starting point is 00:03:12 You outside of my house Screaming into the palm of your hands Trying to contain this rage that you Just couldn't keep bottled up Fuck, fuck, fuck So that's where we start Let's rewind and explain what the show's about Basically, this is an advice podcast
Starting point is 00:03:30 People find themselves in difficult places They email us at ifirishow at gmail.com We come through all the emails and decide On four questions or five questions To answer over the course of the episode And we do our best to advise these people Out of their predicaments Sometimes we do it well
Starting point is 00:03:44 And sometimes we do it poorly But hopefully it's entertaining nonetheless Yeah That's about right Yeah, that's a quick way to say it I feel like I would write into our podcast As a person right now Okay, good
Starting point is 00:04:00 Oh, because you're in a difficult place A life conundrum if you will But let's save it for the break Let's go into... Yours isn't specific Yours is not a specific problem In an otherwise good life Your life is just a series of shambles
Starting point is 00:04:13 Where do you even begin to fix a broken plate This is you answering my question Yeah, this is great Thank you This is how it feels Is that how it fucking feels? No wonder people love it Alright, let's just...
Starting point is 00:04:28 Let's go right into it, huh? Why waste any time? Well, you're wasting time right now Why waste time as you're like Searching through your email, I think Yeah, why waste time at all? Okay, got it Ready?
Starting point is 00:04:40 Yes What should we call this person? It's a lady Frau farbissina Frau farbissina That's a fake name to a real email Real person, real problem pseudonym to preserve and an enmity
Starting point is 00:04:53 Ready? Yes Question number one Hey guys Last weekend I went to my friend's engagement party It was really nice Since I've been a pretty solid third wheel from the start Even in the speech
Starting point is 00:05:04 I made a note of the fact That I've heard them have sex More times than I've had sex However, we went back to their place The heating was off And it is Scotland So it was pretty damn cold The couple insisted on me sharing the bed with them
Starting point is 00:05:18 And being drunk and tired, I agreed However, during the night I was shivering And the man put his arm around me to Keep me warm Soon afterwards, he was full on spooning me And I was trying to keep his hands in appropriate places While trying to avoid the boner he was pushing into me And trying to be polite
Starting point is 00:05:36 When I got to the point When he was trying to pull my hips into him And I said I was going to sleep on the sofa He told me not to tell the girl Because it would make her, quote, paranoid I don't know what to do from here I feel like I should tell the girl But she has gone through a really difficult time
Starting point is 00:05:50 And this guy made her really happy However, they're really young, 17 So she would be able to fall in love again, too I really don't want to start something But since then, I don't want to spend too much time with them Am I overreacting? Any advice would be great Many totes
Starting point is 00:06:05 Frow Frow, you're underreacting You are drastically and severely underreacting You're underselling the situation Yes, you were borderline molested Not borderline, you were molested By your friend's fiancé Who's 17
Starting point is 00:06:26 First, yeah, first of all, one piece of advice I think even if you were just like Hey, my friends are getting married, they're 17 I'd be like, yes, stop right there Bad idea Right off the bat Don't get married at 17 That's a little cray-cray
Starting point is 00:06:39 Especially to someone who, quote Spooned and then tried to pull his hips into you And you felt his boner A boner Why were you trying to be polite? Is what I'm wondering So he's groping you, rubbing your body Ways that you don't want
Starting point is 00:06:54 And he's also your friend's fiancé And you are just politely trying to keep his hands In appropriate places Scream murder when that is happening He said he told me not to tell the girls Because it would make her, quote, paranoid No, no, paranoia seems like He's underselling it
Starting point is 00:07:12 Which paranoia is like delusional Afraidness Paranoia is like a fear of something that's not real Yeah, this would be a very substantiated actual fear Right, this way I'm afraid that would make her aware I'm afraid that would out me as a cheatsman A cheatsman of sorts
Starting point is 00:07:31 Don't tell her for fear that she Becomes aware of me being an asshole I'm afraid she'll become so paranoid She'll suspect that I'm doing what I am doing Which is pulling my boner into my friend's Or my fiancé's friend while she's in the bed Yeah, while she's in the bed But she does say this is Scotland
Starting point is 00:07:51 Is that an excuse? Does this happen in Scotland? I've never been there, but I'd like to go I'd like to be a fiancé in Scotland I would like to be spooned to be perfectly honest Scotland By this paranoid bitch's stallion husband This Scotsman, this Scotsman stud
Starting point is 00:08:10 This Scotsman stud with his boner of steel And his roaming hands He's a hero, he's the hero Scotland deserves He's a regular braveheart I really think he's braveheart for this Of course we're kidding He should have his penis amputated He deserves to be punched in the throat for this
Starting point is 00:08:31 His penis is actually half painted blue Half regular, just like a braveheart's face They can take my life, but they can never take my free cum Yo, we still got it We are in Puego today I do think here's what you should do I think you should tell your friend what happened I think you should tell the boyfriend
Starting point is 00:08:54 Actually, don't tell him, he deserves nothing Tell your friend what happened See how she wants to deal with it See how she wants to play it I'd hate to make her paranoid though Yeah, that's the thing I don't want to make her paranoid I don't want her to think aliens are out there
Starting point is 00:09:08 Or something like that Also, I don't want to tell her Because she's been through a hard time Well, this would make it a harder time If you just let her marry a dickhead Literally shoved his dick's head into you In bed In his dick's bed
Starting point is 00:09:26 Yeah, I think this is like She's going to go through another bad thing It's either this hard truth or a harder lie But she is 17 She shouldn't be engaged at this age, I think You might want to vet someone past their teenage years To see if they're an actual good person Well, no, I've been with him since we were 16
Starting point is 00:09:46 So I really feel like I know him How different are you now than when you were 17? I'm a different human Why would somebody hitch their wagon To someone who's still changing? People don't even look the same at age 17 That they do at 27, 37, 47 Right, yeah, of course
Starting point is 00:10:04 You want to wait until the cookie is fully baked Before eating it That is, I can't tell if that's beautiful I think it's profound But I also think you're just talking about cookies You might just be hungry I think you accidentally just thought about cookies The oven just dinged
Starting point is 00:10:22 Alright, now I know you were talking about cookies Okay, now let's talk about this person I just feel like he's not a good guy He's a bad guy There's no reason to get married at 17 I advise most 17-year-olds to break up Yeah, let alone not get married Be single, finish cooking
Starting point is 00:10:38 Yeah, you haven't figured out who you are either yet Yeah, well, she's not even asking for herself We're trying to get real, real lofty right now Like, my girlfriend's friend or whatever Put his dick on my butt What do I do? We're like, alright Examine yourself Look in the mirror
Starting point is 00:11:00 Are you who you want to be? If you're 17, you're not who you will be yet Yeah You are not you yet You are a teenager You are a half-formed, greasy mutant I don't think you should talk down to the best Absolutely
Starting point is 00:11:15 But I will say, you're right, they're not done for me But things are happening when you're 17 That are gonna, that sort of like Make a foundation for who you become Yeah, and it's failed relationships that helped do that Totally, so they got this, right now What's happening for her is a test Your good friend's boyfriend made a move on you
Starting point is 00:11:36 What do you do? Cause like, this is gonna shape the way you view relationships when you're older He failed the test, but you don't have to Damn right You're a cookie Alright You're a fricking brownie It was perfect
Starting point is 00:11:49 And now we're, yeah, we're getting past the perfect game here You're whipped cream Yep, it's like you're in the 11th inning hitting batters And I'm nuts Alright Alright Next question Yes
Starting point is 00:12:03 Let's do it, let's do it We need a dude's name Do you have a dude? Oh, we'll call this guy Austin Powers Yeah, that was easy, right? Yeah You needed me The titular character, actually
Starting point is 00:12:16 Of course He's a titular for this Question number two, Austin writes Yeah, baby, yeah Oh, very toda No, he didn't actually do that He did not I shagged him, baby
Starting point is 00:12:28 I shagged her rotten, yeah Alright, this is what this person actually wrote in I've got a problem with my penis The fricking foreskin is attached to the head And I can't pull it back Yeah My wing still works I asked my smoke show of a girlfriend about that
Starting point is 00:12:45 But I'm worried about what other chicks are going to think about it I ran a quick Google searcheroo on stuff like this And it's not all that rare of a problem All it takes is a little quick trip to the surgery And a little snip on the attached area I think I want to do it The only problem is I'm going to have to talk to my parents about it
Starting point is 00:13:03 And it seems like the kind of convo I don't want to have I wish there was some kind of way to fix my dick While keeping it just between me and the GF So guys, should I just man up and talk about my cock Or is there another way around this shit? After all, does it even matter as long as my wonderful willy works? Thanks for the help Love, Austin Bowers
Starting point is 00:13:22 I should have looked up a picture of this But I guess it doesn't matter But I didn't want to see a dick No, I don't mind about that He's not asking how to fix it So we can understand there's this type of Dilemma Dilemma
Starting point is 00:13:37 Which is more than just an uncircumcised penis Right You think this is like beyond that I guess So he has foreskin It just doesn't peel back from the head It doesn't matter what the problem is The problem
Starting point is 00:13:49 No, let's get there The issue is Should he be too ashamed to talk to his parents about This problem that he's having in order to have surgery Is there another way around it? I mean if you need surgery I think he has to tell your parents If you're young enough to
Starting point is 00:14:04 Not be able to afford your own health insurance Slash surgery Then you should talk to your parents about any medical problem I wonder if he can just go to the doctor If he can go to the doctor And have the conversation with his doctor And then have the doctor have a conversation with his parents He doesn't necessarily have to be like
Starting point is 00:14:21 Mom, dad, I want to go to the doctor So he can look at my penis Because there's this thing wrong with it Or this thing that I perceived to be Cosmetically wrong with it Maybe he goes to the doctor and the doctor's like Oh yeah, it's like unhealthy because You know bacteria can get in there
Starting point is 00:14:36 And you have to be able to wash your whole penis I mean the force isn't supposed to appeal to that I don't want to talk to my parents about it I'd rather just live my life as a weird penile guy Than ever talk to my mom about my own dick Right now your mom doesn't know you have a dick I'd really hate for her to find out Yeah, it's okay to
Starting point is 00:14:54 Your mom, you sucked on your mom's tit Yeah, like last week dude I swear to god You fucking got to sloppy second with your mom Zero through one and a half You were licking her tit Not to mention, buddy, on the day you were born You were full on insider
Starting point is 00:15:11 Dick and balls Yeah, your head You were face deep in your mom's muff Your mom's clit just scraped against your face As the doctor pulled you out of her pussy Okay So I assure you it's okay that you fucked your mom For nine months
Starting point is 00:15:25 Right, I don't know like when a dick is formed But it was in your mom, pal And that is fucking foul That's disgusting She also probably bathed and cleaned that dick That you don't want to talk to her about For about four years Rubbing your dick
Starting point is 00:15:39 Yeah, just like there was probably like Poops smeared on your balls as like an infant Your mom's wiping it with a sponge or whatever the fuck So let's say this guy's sixteen Eleven to sixteen years ago Your mom was just cleaning that dick So you don't have to worry about talking to her about A little problem that you're having
Starting point is 00:15:55 Trust me, she's okay with it No one should have any shame in front of their parents My parents have seen me at the most vulnerable The worst ever, you know Can you imagine him just being like So mom, I have this problem My foreskin is still And then the mom's like
Starting point is 00:16:13 Ew, oh my god, I can't believe you brought this up Ear muffs, ear muffs Austin, you fucking psycho, I'm your mom TMI, Austin Don't bring that shit in here Yeah, I think it's, I mean It's like ripping off a bandaid I know you don't want to talk to your mom about your pain
Starting point is 00:16:33 But you just got to mention it Just be like, hey, I want this done It's, I don't know Or, wait a minute, it is like ripping off a bandaid Oh, just pull back Have you thought about, yeah Grabbing, just with your thumb and index finger Just hold on to one end really tightly and snugly
Starting point is 00:16:53 Sort of give it a little shake like you're washing out a sheet Oh, wait a second, it worked And then rip it, rip it off like a bandaid And oh, we're good No one come to a convo with my mom, actually At least my smoke show of her girlfriend doesn't care He doesn't really have a smoke show of her girlfriend, right? Hey, my penis is all fucked up, but it's cool
Starting point is 00:17:12 Ask my fucking hot ass girlfriend I'm just worried about future hot girlfriends that I'll have That I might care about it more than my current hot girlfriend does Keep in mind, she is hot, she is my girlfriend, she doesn't care And I have her But I'm just worried about other hot girlfriends that I'll get And I'm not just jerking off to a picture in a magazine of Natalie Portman, okay? No, no, no, no, she is a, I assure you she is a smoke show
Starting point is 00:17:36 I mean, why wouldn't she, why wouldn't she, why wouldn't she be, why wouldn't she be into me? So the advice is talk to your mom, tell her that you have a weird penis Whatever you do, don't talk to your dad about it He will smack that foreskin right off of you Oh, yeah No son of mine's gonna have a problem with his penis That's a, that's a, that reflects poorly on the father, actually In fact, Austin, I'm really disappointed that you brought this up
Starting point is 00:17:59 How do you think this makes me feel as your father, I burst Austin, here, look at my dick I'll show you what it was supposed to look like You're, yeah, you're not shit Oh, God Poor skin that it completely envelops the entire thing Yeah Yeah, it's like a stocking
Starting point is 00:18:13 Jesus Christ Uh-huh Yeah It's, it's so loose, it jiggles out I'm a monster I really am, Austin It covers the entire butt, it looks like you're wearing a beige color, tidy whitey And I wish I was
Starting point is 00:18:25 That's just awful I'd love to take it off, Austin Your old man is a, uh, I fucked a beige sock and it never came off And you know what, I was too afraid to talk to my parents about it It grew, it grew, it grew, and now look at where I am It looks like I got an elephant trunk, but I swear to God My dick is a peanut at the top of this long skin shaft Long skin shaft

Starting point is 00:22:39 I'd be lying if I said I weren't I'd be lying if I said I wasn't extremely jealous And I know I should be happy for her But there comes a point When it almost seems like she's Consciously rubbing it in my face How could I tell her to cool it Without coming off as an uncool dude

Starting point is 00:25:39 Is it cool? How do I tell her to cool it Without coming off as uncool? We're gonna answer a different question Whether or not you should tell her to cool it And the answer is no You should not tell her to cool it Don't tell her to cool it, boys
Starting point is 00:25:49 If anything, tell her to ramp it up Yeah, say more pics Turn that jealousy into like a fire that fuels you Or just like, you know This is also some advice If you can't shake being the jerk that you are I think you can like Don't be like, yo
Starting point is 00:26:05 You're pissing me off with these But try to steer the conversation In another direction You know, talk about something Aside from vacations And maybe you guys can agree On some other subject that you can enjoy Like if she sends you a picture of

Starting point is 00:30:23 And assume I purchased the ticket So I never did I ended up buying a $500 ticket With a layover through Philadelphia One where I had to not only Get onto a... To like change terminals But I had to get onto a shuttle bus
Starting point is 00:30:36 That took me outside of the airport And they're freezing cold At 5.08 a.m. At 5 in the morning But before any of that even happened So I've got this red eye That I need to catch I need to drop my brother off
