Starting point is 00:00:00 1, 2, 3, 4... Seize that cheese! Hite. Hite. That's a cover of a song by the Raymans, actually. The Ramones. The Raymen. Everybody loves the Raymones. It's a really bad sitcom pitch that I have.
Starting point is 00:00:48 This was 1968, so like, it wasn't even like a play on anything at the time. Was Ray... what is that guy's name? Ray Romano. Was he around then? He was alive, but he was like, maybe eight years old. He wasn't funny yet. No, I mean he was funny, but you know, third graders are funny. They're funny, they're like, yeah, they're silly.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Like, they put potato chips in their nose, that's funny. That's hilarious. Yeah. Anyway, welcome to If I Were You, the only advice podcast on the internet, hosted in a la Quinta in Austin, Texas. I'm Amir. And I'm Jake. You're naked.
Starting point is 00:01:21 I'm nude. You're nude. I'm nude. No joke. Yeah, this is a really compromising... How do we do this? This is so funny and bare bones. We're at a pretty budget hotel.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Yeah. You're naked in your bed, so like under the covers. I've set up shop around you. I've been sleeping for the last three hours. You just woke me up. The podcast was all set up. You handed me a microphone and then I was just like, hey, I don't know if I have the energy to do this.
Starting point is 00:01:52 If I were you, the shop! If I were you, the shop! Yeah, it was pitch black in here. I very slowly taped a microphone to your chest. You sort of stumbled awake, but you didn't realize. You were just like... And then I was like, if I were you and you shot up, what the hell's going on? I tried to get you to stop, but my hands are tied down.
Starting point is 00:02:14 It's too late. I'm already recording and we're here and it's now... A surprise recording. How's it been going for you? How are you? How's it been halfway across America? Yeah, it's been a fever dream. Actually, John and John Carlo yesterday were like...
Starting point is 00:02:30 It seems like... Our night in Charlottesville is just like another world. Do you remember the Gusburger that we had in Charlottesville? Oh my God, yeah, that was so long ago. It seems like that was last year. Yeah. It was like three days ago. We're crazy.
Starting point is 00:02:46 It's a wild ride, this life thing. I highly recommend it. Shut the fuck up, dude. I've been done talking with you. We just started the show. It's entirely you talking. There's literally no other aspect. I guess me talking.
Starting point is 00:03:02 So how does the show work? It's an advice podcast people write us in. If I were you show at gmail.com we sift through the questions, we answer them one at a time on this here program. It's people who are finding themselves in difficult situations and need our advice.
Starting point is 00:03:18 And we do our best to give it to them. Perfect. Well, you said write us in again. So please give me more notes. People write to us. People send us their questions. What else do you like about me? I'm Jewish.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I'm Jewish. These are the two things. I'm doing. I'm doing. I'll give you greasy. But that's uncouth. You're stacked. I'm a stallion.
Starting point is 00:03:50 I guess another thing about you is that you're very argumentative. You asked me to list terrible things about yourself every night. You seem to want honesty, but then you disagree with everything that I say. Bring it.
Starting point is 00:04:06 There are no wrong answers. How low they are blowing. Is you practicing being defensive? What could anyone say about you? I hit you with every single hard truth that I know. I put on clothes and go out for the night and I look
Starting point is 00:04:22 at the mirror and I just say, what are you talking about? How can you? What are you saying right now? You're really going to do that to me? You tried on a shirt the other day and you scowled and said fuck off with that attitude. That was my test.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Am I talking to you? Or are you talking to me? Before I buy a shirt, I have to know whether I can be pissed off with it. Oh cool. This is what the shirt looks like when I turn away. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:04:54 We're actually in Austin. I don't even want to say this. I was going to say, we're in Austin. This is so dumb. I hate this. I'm embarrassed now. Tell me what it is. I was just going to say, just know that I think this is stupid.
Starting point is 00:05:10 So you don't have to point it out. We're in Austin, which is where I bought my first plaid shirt. Can we talk about that for an hour and a half? Ego mania. You megalo ass.
Starting point is 00:05:32 You were hosting a podcast. You're speaking on the microphone. Me? Everything's about me. Those of you guys out there listening, think of me. There is no minutia about myself that's uninteresting, for example, where I bought my first plaid shirt. To be fair, I am the one that told you this morning.
Starting point is 00:05:48 Yeah, that's why I was in my brain space. This is where you bought your first plaid shirt. Life after denim. Look them up boys and girls. Alright, let's get to these questions. Alright. These are real emails from real people. We're going to give them fake names to preserve there. Anonymity.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Anonymity. We'll call this first person. Mmm. George W. Bush. George W., right? Hey bros, so there's this girl I really like and she wants to hang out. I really want to hang out too, but she wants it to be with other people. She's afraid that if we hang out alone,
Starting point is 00:06:21 it'll be awkward, which it wouldn't be. We have no problem talking over text, but how do I create the same atmosphere when we hang out? So, I guess my question is, how do I get her to hang out with me alone? And then, if that happens, how do I make it not awkward so she will want to hang out again? Gee, W, it sounds like it might be awkward.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Yeah. If that's a concerning issue for you. Yeah, I'm taking a hang out with this girl, but I don't want it to be, but she thinks it's going to be awkward. It's not going to be awkward. How do I make sure? How am I not weird to her?
Starting point is 00:06:57 What if there's a silence? Then what? I told her I'm not awkward. How do I make it so that's not a lie? Because it's going to be fucking weird. It's going to be real awkward. Let's just let you in on a little secret. I make people uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:07:14 I am quirky in a bad way. You know, Zoe Deschanel and the new girl, I'm like that but a guy. Adorkable except without any of the redeeming qualities. I'm just a dork. That's it. I am a dark word. A dork word.
Starting point is 00:07:30 A dork word. King dork. King dork word. Dork word. Anyway, so how does he make it not awkward? I feel like you already make it awkward when you're being like standoffish about like you guys are trying to discuss who you should hang out with.
Starting point is 00:07:45 If she's like, yeah, let's hang out with other friends, you shouldn't be like, no, it'll just be us. It'll be fine. Yeah, if anything, hanging out with friends is the least awkward thing you can do. That's what you want the first date or two to be. That's perfect. Yeah, because then you can make jokes in a group.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Maybe people will laugh at them and then like, that's just how you get girls. Yes, yes, yes. It's perfect because then you can just make jokes in a group and make everyone laugh. And then you sort of look over your shoulder to see if she saw people laughing. That happens for you.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I wonder if this guy's just not funny and he's like, I don't want to hang out in a group because then people steal my thunder. Well, if you're not funny, then it's even worse to be one on one because then everything is relying on you. Like in a group, you can at least slink back and like contribute once every six
Starting point is 00:08:27 or have many people lines there are. That's what you should do. You should count the lines. So how many people are there? Let's say you're six and then you want to make sure that you're contributing one sixth or, you know, 13%. That sounds so awkward now. You sound awkward.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Okay, sorry. Sorry, I have to jump in. I haven't said anything in 14 lines. Hey, I also just... Sorry, what were you talking about earlier? The ones right before? He started tickling you. Yeah, what do you do?
Starting point is 00:08:51 What do you do? I think you just have to be... You can never like... The thing is if you win and he hangs out with her alone, then it's just like the energy is so bad. Yeah. It's like, I want to hang out with her friends.
Starting point is 00:09:03 No, no, no, no. It'll be us. It's going to be fine. That's okay. You're starting at a negative. Like, why do you want to be with me by myself? Like, why can't I have my comfort zone there? Yeah, just let her dictate the first hangout.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And then if you're cool and relaxed and chill and perfect and awesome, then yeah, she'll hang out with you alone. Here's an also weird thing. She is afraid that if we hang out alone, it will be awkward. That's not a good beginning of a relationship. Yeah, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Yeah, there's this girl that I really like and she wants to hang out, but she's terrified of the prospect of doing it just with me. Oh, maybe she doesn't even like him. That sounds like what's up. That might be a very sweet way to reject someone. Yeah, no, no, we can hang out. Come to this place that all my friends will be.
Starting point is 00:09:55 No, I want to hang out with you alone. It won't be awkward. Oh, God. Oh, I think you just like poked it. Yeah, I mean, I see this question very differently now. And I would say, leave her alone. You ask. I think you're a stalker for this.
Starting point is 00:10:11 You're annoying to her. Please. I think all you can do, even if that is the case, if she's like, it's because she doesn't like you, then the best thing you can be is to be cool and relaxed and easy going and just put yourself out there in a positive way and hope she reciprocates your energy. Seize the cheese.
Starting point is 00:10:30 You fucking suck, man. What? You quote yourself in a dumb voice. You're trying to move t-shirts. I have a box of unused t-shirts right now. And they say if I use the catchphrases more, they'll go like hotcakes. Last night we went out in Austin.
Starting point is 00:10:50 You wore a backpack with the seize the cheese shirts in it. And we were just dancing, meeting people. You had Jake and Amir loaded on your phone. You had our podcast downloaded. You had earbuds. You were trying to get the DJ to play episode five. It was insane. You fucking did it.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I don't know how much you paid him, but the crowd literally stayed there in earnest listening to the first 11 minutes of this show. They realized the beat was never going to drop. They thought it was a remix, but the mix never got read, I guess. They slowly started filing out. You chased people into the street.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Somehow all you brought was double XL seize the cheese shirts. You started charging people a $5 leaving like a bitch fee. Nobody paid it. You ended up moving three shirts because people felt so bad for you. And you looked so proud to have that money. You flaunted the $60 like you were fanning yourself. You went inside.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Like a woman in a kabuki drama. You went inside and made it rain and then screamed at everyone not to pick up the money. He said the rain is not for you. It's for the ecosystem. It'll help make plants grow. Yeah, so... You do you.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Yeah, bustedtease.com. Slash Jake and Amir, please help us out. Move these units, folks. Are we done with this guy? Yeah, dude. And everything got started with this guy. If this lady thinks it'll be awkward, maybe she's right.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Or at the very least go plan her terms and make it not awkward then make her fall for you. But you can't argue your way into a relationship. Yeah, you can't start at such a net negative and get yourself out of this hole. Alright, pal. Now, question number two. The woe.
Starting point is 00:12:46 This one comes from... John Quincy Adams. That's from Beyond the Grey? Yeah, I guess so. I don't know. Do they have email there? That's in heaven. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:56 Quincy Adams is very much so in hell. Alright, he writes, Hey guys, so we have one computer in the house which we keep in the family room so that everybody can use it. My dad has started using it late in the evenings after my younger brother and sister have gone to bed, but when I'm still awake and when I go downstairs to grab a snack
Starting point is 00:13:13 or a drink of water, I keep catching him awkwardly staring at the computer desktop background. I'm pretty sure he's up to something. I mean, why would you just be staring at a blank desktop? Do you think he's jerking off in the family room when most of us have gone to bed? And if so, how can I relax in this house
Starting point is 00:13:30 in the evenings knowing that my dad could be fapping away downstairs? His dad, by the way, is John Adams. Right. Please help. Love John Quincy Adams. Oh man. Help me.
Starting point is 00:13:41 My dad's fapping. What? Is that even true? Like, if you just walk downstairs and your dad is just staring at the desktop of a computer, is that like, that's how fast he is? That's how I used to... Like, you hear the stairs and you minimize it,
Starting point is 00:13:55 and you're just like... Well, I mean, I was... the dad was obviously not... maybe he's just not good at this yet, but like, I would have a web page open, ready to go, and then like, if anyone was coming downstairs just, you know, closing everything,
Starting point is 00:14:08 minimizing, and then... In the family room, in a communal room, you would do that? We only had one computer. We only had one computer. So you'd rather jerk off in the family room to porn than like, by yourself, to a magazine in your bedroom?
Starting point is 00:14:22 I didn't have any magazines. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And did anybody ever catch you? Yeah. Are you proud of that? Yo, I got caught mad times.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I got caught... I got caught up on my mom's, got caught up on my dad's, got caught twice by my sister's. Yeah, post-nut. My brother, he knew what was up. At a certain point, this... I got more cavalier with my attitude,
Starting point is 00:14:46 so I would do it during lunches and stuff. Well, I think I got caught masturbating, like, 15 to 20 times, probably. That's what I got. Like, mid. Yeah, I mean, not like... I wasn't gonna be caught, because it's like, it's not necessarily a bad thing,
Starting point is 00:15:00 but it's still like, you don't want anybody there. Right, it's like an uncomfortable thing. It's like somebody walking in on you and you're taking a shit, where it's like, okay, I understand that people do this, but I wish I didn't see it. I don't want to see you like this. Definitely, you wouldn't want to see your dad like that.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Right. My dad is just this unimpeachable, great person who just fixes everything, gets me out of trouble, pays for shit, and made a family. I'm like, if I just saw him with his fucking dick out, looking at lesbian porn, I'm just like, oh, no.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Turn away, turn away. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. It's... Oh, God. No, you do not want... You do not want to see how the sausage is pulled. Oh, shit. Um...
Starting point is 00:15:44 No, so... But maybe he's probably buying you a Christmas presents, buddy. That is the lea... That is lying. You're lying to him. He's on amazon.com and he's getting you Christmas presents. That's what the dad is saying. Don't worry, he never...
Starting point is 00:15:55 Whoa, buddy, you almost got me a... buying you a gift. What were you getting me? I was getting you college threesome dorm room. What were you getting me? Um... College threesome dorm room. Uh...
Starting point is 00:16:09 Have you ever been caught masturbating? I don't think so. He's like, when you... I'm gonna have, hopefully, one day, I'll have a family. I'm not gonna stop masturbating. I'm gonna have to like... That's not a thing that's gonna happen. When I was younger, I was like, okay, my...
Starting point is 00:16:27 my sisters aren't home, my mom's not home, I'm gonna masturbate or like everybody in my family's asleep, I'm gonna masturbate, I'm gonna go take a shower and masturbate. And then I like, grew up, I went to college and it's like, oh, my roommate's going to class, I'm gonna masturbate. Then I grew up even more, lived in New York alone. It's like, oh, no one's here, I'm gonna masturbate all day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:46 This is the first chapter of your autobiography. This is... And at a certain point, you're like, okay, I'm like, I have a girlfriend, I'm gonna masturbate while she's gone. And then you're like, okay, I've got a wife and a kid, I'm gonna have to masturbate when the kid's asleep or something. But you're gonna masturbate less. I don't know, your life is...
Starting point is 00:17:02 Your sex drive goes down. It is just a series of finding time to masturbate. Life is what happens in between secret masturbation sessions. It's such a funny thing that's like... Like I'm at my kid's soccer game, I gotta run to the car to say that I like forgot like a granola bar for them and I'm gonna masturbate. And then I'm gonna get out there, start handing out the orange slices. This is a dirty little secret.
Starting point is 00:17:23 Catch a glimpse of a Milfa, run to the public restroom and I'm gonna have to masturbate. You know, it's like, you have a problem, sir. No, I mean, it's just like I'm at a funeral and someone's looking exceptionally hot slash sad. So I sort of jump in the grave down there with him and I start to masturbate. Yeah, you were under arrest. That is absolutely uncalled for. You were fapped at a funeral. Fapped.
Starting point is 00:17:48 So what do you... Okay, how do you... To relax or... You can't treat your dad masturbating as this terrible thing that you can't sleep in the same house as. He's a guy like you. Yeah. You gotta just bring snacks to your room, hunker down. Your dad is down there pulling his fucking meat.
Starting point is 00:18:08 You understand your dad. Let's just like, let's just put it out there. Your dad is looking at girls getting fucked and rubbing his penis until it has an orgasm. What do you do when you're at a computer like that? Do you like have like a tissue? You don't... What? I don't know if I've ever masturbated to a like a desktop. You've never?
Starting point is 00:18:34 I feel like I... To computer pornography, I would use my laptop and do it in bed. And what do you masturbate into there? I use... What a personal question that I don't know if I get one. That you totally walked into, you're like, yeah, like I've never done that. When I look at porn, I'm on my laptop in a bed. Like, all right, well now I'd like to know where you come.
Starting point is 00:18:55 I don't know if I want to tell everyone that. I very much need to know. Why do you need to know? Because I'm curious. I'm by curious George at this point. I am driven by the fact that I don't quite know yet. I think that's the last... I'm curious about that.
Starting point is 00:19:11 I think that's the last fact I ever want anybody to know about me. Yeah, I'd like to know where you're not. I'd like to tell you maybe not with other... I'll tell you where I'm not if you tell me where you're not. Of course you'll tell me where you're not. You're an open fucking book, man. There's no secret. Every compartment to your house is open.
Starting point is 00:19:29 I realize you're not an open book, but I just... I peeked into the page and I need to know and I'm like, thumbing through all the pages just trying to open it just on this one page. I'm not going to lie. Part of it has to do with... I'm afraid that what I do jerk off into is... I mean, it's not weird,
Starting point is 00:19:47 but if I say it, you'd be like, really you do that? I mean, I'll just guess the things that I think it could be. Okay. Well, say the three things. If it's a towel or a rag, or like a piece of dirty laundry, or like napkins or tissues, I think you're safe.
Starting point is 00:20:05 If you are jerking off onto a photo of your family, that's weird. If you're jerking off onto a dead cat, I think that's pretty strange. It's tissues. Really? You loser! You fell for it.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I said the three weirdest things. You should be jerking off to a picture of your family. I usually go for the most clean. Like, that's easy to dispose. Yeah. I don't want to use a piece of laundry that I have to, like, what? Then wash? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:37 But I don't want to do that. I want to just get rid of it. Yeah, I'm not. That's what I jerk off into, too. Buddy. When you're jerking off, it's like, when you're doing it, you're like, I love this.
Starting point is 00:20:53 It's like porn. Oh, God. I'm like, I just want more porn, more porn, more pulling at my body. And then it's just like, oh, come. Oh, my God, this is disgusting. Hide this away from me.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I hate it. I never wanted anybody to see this seed. It's the opposite of sex, or I need to get rid of me. How do I not cuddle with me? I'm always here when I'm done. I need to masturbate and explode at the end, disappear forever.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Get on top of it, quick, quick, quick. Just convincing people who are hopefully watching you Truman Show style that it wasn't that big of a deal. Did we answer this guy's question? Well, I masturbated. I poured myself a glass of red wine. Yeah. On the rocks.
Starting point is 00:21:43 I'd log into a bar and be like, Malbec, rocks. Excuse you? I want a glass of red wine on the rocks. I feel like people might do that. Really? No. Everyone does everything. Ice in the wine glass? Everyone does everything.
Starting point is 00:21:59 The weirdest thing you can say right now is someone does it. White red wine rocks? Yeah, someone has that. I'm going to order that in Austin tonight and watch as they laugh. There are certain people who like red wine chilled. You're not supposed to drink it chilled. I said milk, that's foul to me. That's more normal than the red wine one.
Starting point is 00:22:15 No. Why are you... What clothes is on, sir? At this point, I will say that it's really hot under these covers and I do very much so not want to be under here. If you're cool with it, I'm going to take left leg here, just like this.
Starting point is 00:22:31 This is all right. I'm going to put it up above the covers. Can I take a photo of this on Instagram? People have an idea about what I see right now. I would very much like filter approval. I will give you final filter approval. I will upload it when we upload the episode. This is just a very...
Starting point is 00:22:47 I can't tell if this is sad. But it's definitely something. It's definitely weird that you took a picture of it. You took a picture of me in a bathtub today. I did. Now people are going to be clamoring for that. Oh, God, this is... That is the saddest picture I've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:23:03 How many other podcasts? It looks like my leg got amputated. I feel like... When I think of podcasts, I think of Mark Marin in a radio studio in his house. And then I thumb over to us and it's you, Naked, in a Lakinto holding a flaccid microphone.
Starting point is 00:23:19 A flaccid microphone is a great way to describe this. Everything about this photo is flaccid. It's yellow. It is very flaccid inducing. The photo is already yellow. Oh, this is actually really nice. This is... Oh, that's warm.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Give me my phone! Dick! Should we take our break now? We have the 25-ish minute mark. You just fill out a brief questionnaire and get matched with a licensed therapist. And you can switch therapists at any time for no additional charge.

Starting point is 00:26:21 off that first purchase. Thank you, Squarespace. What can we talk about that we haven't already? We almost got stuck in New Orleans. We did. That was fun. Yeah, for an hour RV was in a parking lot surrounded by cars that you couldn't maneuver.
Starting point is 00:26:37 So let's start it by we walked into the Hyatt in the French Quarter. Which I would recommend no one stays at. Wow. Based on that nice thing to say right now. I actually think yeah. Oh wait, no, no.
Starting point is 00:26:53 That's right. I had a total change of heart. Based on when we first got there, I would say never stay at this hotel. They totally redeemed themselves. So we walked in I'm sorry, I don't even know why I said that. I am just really hot so I'm in a place of hate. I'm being bothered
Starting point is 00:27:09 in general right now. So we walked in we had been driving all day and all night. Ten hours in an RV. Stinky SRV. It's like 11pm. Getting to a place feels so good because you don't have to be in the RV anymore. We pull in and we're like alright we're checking in. Yada yada. We have an RV

Starting point is 00:32:13 it got it was a game of your hip not you're hypnotized it was centimeters like at one point we were I was like he would go little bit little little bit and I would go back is like oh a hair literally a hair
Starting point is 00:32:29 and we were like this thing the RV every time you take your foot off the break and just creaks and lurches like there's no there's no hairs if I took my foot off like I could go three centimeters or could go a foot and a half like there was never controlling it that's a lot of hair and but
Starting point is 00:32:45 eventually and he was just like looking me in the eyes like when you be the front of the RV is like all right come to me little bit it was like that scene in Austin Powers where he's just like going back and forth yeah in that small hallway and tighter you did like a 48 point turn it took like five full minutes I I don't know how many

Starting point is 00:33:33 um shit I am the parking king let it be known let it ring throughout the land all right let's go back to answer questions all right one last one mmm maybe even two no okay um uh no oh no
Starting point is 00:33:49 oh no this one comes from a lady we'll call Martha Washington Martha Washington very coy this is coying of her although she didn't choose that name you know that right
Starting point is 00:34:05 what a coy little a coy little cunt I think oh my god the coyest cunt don't say the C word coy um all right I've been uh Martha writes I've been
Starting point is 00:34:21 I've been studying on a regular basis with a guy from one of my classes we get along very well he's a nice guy and more to the point of my quandary he is easy on the eyes I don't feel any strong emotional connection and I'm not in the market for a relationship but I
Starting point is 00:34:37 certainly wouldn't mind getting physical a study buddy with benefits if you will my problem is I have no idea if he would be open to such an arrangement I am terrible at reading these types of situations and rarely am I able to tell if someone's interested in me unless it's blatant
Starting point is 00:34:53 considering we are in the same program at school and thus in a lot of the same classes I don't want to misread the vibes and make a move and face the awkwardness of a flat out rejection what are some tips and advice for subtly testing the waters to see if he'd be interested in hitting this or wants to keep it strictly
Starting point is 00:35:09 what are some tips and advice for subtly testing the waters to see if he'd be interested in hitting this or if he just wants to keep it strictly to hitting the books Toda Martha Washington Martha
Starting point is 00:35:21 Martha you coy deeper you coy baby what do you think what's a good tip for a lady to test the waters to see if a guy's willing to have sex with her here's how you test it you ask if he wants to study with you
Starting point is 00:35:37 and if he does then he desperately wants to fuck you that's a nice way to do it and he masturbates thinking about having sex with the girl he's studying with so if it's like if you don't know if a guy
Starting point is 00:35:52 as a girl if you don't know if a guy just wants to have no strings attached physical intercourse with you he does yeah that's a good tip so like if you're studying with him and you're like ooh studying with benefits
Starting point is 00:36:03 not that studying itself is a benefit of course education and knowledge is more beneficial than any orgasm this is very very very very much so that was coy so yeah he wants this yeah he desperately wants it so for example what you can do is um
Starting point is 00:36:19 anything like for instance this question turned me on to the point that I like want I want to fuck you oh my god you're starting to straddle me from one question
Starting point is 00:36:32 that's it I am taking the other foot out I'm hot enough I think I'm full alright you are still under the covers a little bit alright wearing some sort of down toga
Starting point is 00:36:43 yes okay so some things you can do uh smash smash your bookshed what's it called slam your bookshed slam your bookshed and say hey do you want to have sex with me
Starting point is 00:36:53 that would be something that he'd be into or you can be like text him and be like hey after our study session let's have sex yeah oh you know it's cool if you're like if he answers a question you're like
Starting point is 00:37:04 oh okay now every time you answer a question correctly I'll remove an article of clothing yeah and every time you answer a question correctly I'll um
Starting point is 00:37:14 sit on your dick whether you get it right or not tell you what we don't even have to study anymore there's not a ton of advantages towards being a lady in the romance department um but this is one huge huge one
Starting point is 00:37:27 it's uh when you want to have sex with a guy uh and not necessarily make it an emotional thing or uh get into a relationship uh
Starting point is 00:37:37 nine times out of ten that guy is probably down if you're a guy and you want to do that to a girl odds are it's not going to happen right because that's what all guys want
Starting point is 00:37:47 yeah so like you're you're you're you're literally shooting no I shouldn't say literally you're figuratively shooting fish in a barrel you're literally
Starting point is 00:37:55 that's that's that's what we're recommending for the first date you might have missed read the question so you're at this barrel factory right and you have a loaded gun and there are fish there yeah
Starting point is 00:38:07 so Martha Martha Martha Martha would that be easy to shoot fish in a barrel yeah absolutely all you have to do is get over the uh
Starting point is 00:38:16 emotional uh ramifications of staring at fish dead in the eye and blowing its guts out but beyond that I I think I could do that you think you could do what I think I could get over that
Starting point is 00:38:28 yeah I'm sure it's easy I think I could get past that yeah then I'm just capable of shooting a fish right and it's cold dead salmon eyes would you ever shoot a cat fish in the mouth yeah you would
Starting point is 00:38:42 why not I don't know I don't even know what I'm thinking about this I don't know why either I think at a certain point a fish becomes too big to kill it has feelings no
Starting point is 00:38:54 dolphin you wouldn't shoot a dolphin no I would shoot a dolphin you would not that's a smart mammal I don't know would you shoot a would you shoot a trout
Starting point is 00:39:02 I'd shoot a trout barracuda you're just on the Wikipedia page for fish I know these are salmon would you would you shoot a koi fish would you
Starting point is 00:39:14 I mean sure we'll shoot a beta fish those things deserve to be put out of their memory an Alaskan tooth fish how do you know are you on a Wikipedia page no I think that's what Seabass used to be called Alaskan tooth fish
Starting point is 00:39:29 yeah and nobody bought it because it sounds like you're just biting into teeth yeah don't quote me on that but there is a fish that people eat now and I think it's Seabass and I think the original name for it was something tooth fish
Starting point is 00:39:39 right and they changed it and it's like this huge marketing win because like it's like calling a cow horse yeah or calling it a beef tooth cow nobody wants to eat that
Starting point is 00:39:50 a gassy shit maker and then so like this like marketing agency is like so take your tooth fish and call it a chilean Seabass and suddenly people will want to eat it yeah
Starting point is 00:40:01 and it's true the power of the red word it's amazing so you don't have to misread anything or read anything or subtly do anything Martha just be open with your feelings and luckily for you
Starting point is 00:40:12 this guy probably wants to bone you too yeah let us know how that works out I'd like to hear a follow up on that one I'd love to hear it in lura detail actually he says god no I actually might write fanfic about it how dare you you broach that to me
Starting point is 00:40:26 this is a studying relationship and if you're not gonna if you're not gonna open this book and learn with me then I bid you a Jew actually more than a Jew I mean like I and okay maybe we will have physical intercourse
Starting point is 00:40:39 but I want to be in a relationship with you afterwards that means something for you to ask this to be zero strings there are many strings attached and they're all more than attached we're marionettes okay and we are dangerously intertwined
Starting point is 00:40:54 we're stuck we're like a cord we're even having this conversation we're in a Facebook relationship we're Facebook official and life unofficial now I'd like to speak to your father and purchase a ring
Starting point is 00:41:08 then and only then can we kiss and then only then can we study you fail every test oh what are you doing I'm grabbing this water here you touched my foot yeah it was an accident
