When you're feeling blue, don't know what to do
You should listen to if I were you
Yeah!
Alright!
Short!
Sweet!
Well, I wouldn't say sweet
Okay
Short
Cause you're negative
It was short and sweet
It was like if there's a commercial for our podcast
That would be like the jingle at the end
That's nice
When you're feeling blue, don't know what to do
That's nice and that's enough
That was short and bad
Uh, we finally have Dave Rosenberg on the show
Dave, how are you?
Howdy
He's killing it already
To be perfectly honest though, I think I'm gonna have to run both your necks for actually letting me on this podcast
Just a poor decision
Why?
What are you talking about?
The stuff that I say sometimes is racist, homophobic
You're gonna lose a lot of sponsors on this, son of a bitch
There's a lot of sponsors
You already have such a bad attitude
We haven't even started
Wow, and you started that sentence with Howdy
With such a positive colloquial greeting
Followed by Vitriol
Dave's influence runs deep throughout the podcast that we never had him on the show
You steal a lot of your colloquialisms, Jay
I give him credit
I don't want to be put on blast for stealing from Dave when I give him credit
Dave came up with Blast
Yeah, that was a good one
At least popularized it in my life
Right, I don't know what you're coming up with
As far as your concern, you came up with it
Yeah
Anything else?
Probably
Part of me feels like the voice that I talk in on the podcast sometimes
There's a voice that I did with Dave when we were living together
Dave's like the man behind the man
He's the guy behind the curtain
And we're excited to finally have him on the show
Are you excited to be here?
Howdy
He's drunk
Howdy
Here's a question for you
You wear a hat every day
I do
Why?
You have good hair
I do have good hair
So why do you hide it?
Do you think that's part of your haircut?
Like my haircut is the length of my hair that comes out of my hat?
To a degree, when my hair is short, I won't wear a hat
But sort of
But every single day
Yeah, you know, you're putting me on a blast right now
I'll be honest
It's not a blast, I'm just inquiring
Question
You're taking it as a blast
Yeah
I'm taking it as a blast
I like this hat
Is it like a security thing?
Is it like me with glasses?
Like I feel naked without glasses
I do
You feel naked with that hat
I feel cold with that hat
Oh
I guess I need to sort of get over the hat phase pretty soon
In the summer though, you're going to still wear a hat every day?
The summer seems like the optimal time to actually wear the hat
Right, because then it's effective you're keeping the shade
Keeping the sun out of your eyes
Do you remember the last day you didn't wear a hat?
That's my last hat question, I promise
2000
2000 days ago, exactly
2000, the year 2000
Y2K
So you've heard the show before, right?
Couple episodes
Okay
You're playing it so cool
Who are you trying to impress?
Chill Dave
Chill Dave
So, you know how it works
You know people are finding themselves in difficult places
And they'll email us to, if I were you show, at gmail.com
We read the emails and do our best to advise them
Out of their sticky situations
Did I say the email address?
I don't think so, maybe
I think I did, but I'll say it again just in case
If I were you show at gmail.com
Oh, people also submit theme songs
New theme songs for every single episode
And the one that started this episode
The one that was short and sweet and jingle like
Was a married couple
Very nice
Steve and Malika Bush
You know, I'm glad she took his last name
I'm really glad she did that
Are you sure her name wasn't Malika Bush to begin with?
Oh, he took her last name
Yeah, Steve
Steve took Malika's
Yeah
So that was so thanks to Steve and Malika for that
Should we just dive right in?
Yeah, I'm just like, I'm so excited right now
This is the episode you've been waiting for
It really is, I think this is going to be the quietest I've ever been on an episode
I basically want it to be you and Dave
Well, you just want to live in Dave's brain for like an hour
Yeah, just, oh my god, I'm so curious
Okay, well let's at least throw some stuff at him
And see what comes out of his brain hole
Alright, let's do it
Here we go
First of all, I want to know what he was thinking when he decided to wear this white polo t-shirt
You only wear white after Labor Day
Isn't it always after Labor Day?
It's always after the last Labor Day
Yeah, so I'm right
So you can wear white whenever you want
That's true
We agree
Very good then
Dave, do you have a name theme for us every episode?
We give these real emails from real people fake names to preserve their anonymity
But we usually like to keep it within the same theme
Do you have a theme for us today?
True detective characters
I don't know enough true detective characters
But that's good, we can at least start
Yeah, at the very least we can use real names and then the actors names
I got it, I can do this
Okay, so the first one comes from a dude named
Fuck, I don't know
Already
Russ Cole
Russ Cole writes
Hey guys, love the show, keep it up, here's my problem
I've been dating this girl who has very strict parents
She has a 10pm curfew, she has to first clear it with her folks whether or not she can go out with me
I can't touch her in front of her parents
Once when we were out of town together
She had to send her mom photos of her outfit for approval before she set foot out of the house
Lastly, I spend more time with her and her parents than I do just spending time with her alone
She loves and respects her parents a little too much for me to tell them to back off a little
Here's the kicker, she's 25 years old and so am I
She can't move out until she's married
I really love this girl and I'm thinking about marrying her one day
But we haven't even dated for a year yet
What would you guys do if you were me?
Love Russ Cole
Russ
Russ Cole
That's a good question
Dave?
Right off the bat
What do you think?
Kill the parents
Oh my god
Howdy
Dark
Have you ever had a strict lady parents?
Strict future parents and laws?
I really don't like meeting people's parents
So I kind of avoid that whole thing altogether
Have you ever met your girlfriend's parents?
Yeah, I've never had them been like strict though
That seems super strict
Are you good with parents?
Girlfriend's parents?
I think everyone thinks they're good with parents
But most people aren't
Really?
I can't imagine I am
I'm not good with anyone
So why would I be good with parents?
I think you're great with people
You can tap into your brain
And you are capable of having the most boring small talk
Every time I've ever seen him in a bar talking to someone
He is just like
You're going a mile a minute
You're smiling, you're laughing
You have this ability to convince people you're normal
In small bursts
Don't get me wrong
You're abnormal
But you have the ability to convince
Like a serial killer
You're able to put people's guards down for long enough
To infiltrate before you show off your true colors
Which is a sociopath
Not a sociopath
But some type of deranged lunatic of sorts
I'll take that as a compliment
Are you good with parents, Jake?
I'm incredible with parents
Yeah, because you're polite
You're funny, you're normal
I think that's the big one
It's just being normal
Yeah, being normal
And well, I'm not that this guy's asking for advice
About how to be good with parents
But like, the biggest thing
All the parents want is for their kid to be happy and loved
So you just show them that you love their kid
Sure
And like, hey, I really love her
I think she's really important
I know you think she's as special as I do
Then they're like, oh great, you're good to go
Yeah, okay, so
I think what this guy needs to do
Short of killing them
You have to plant, you have to plant seeds
So you have to be like, seeds of doubt
Yeah, that'll grow into trees of misery
Yes, so when you're with your girlfriend
And her parents are being overbearing
You're like, oh man, I kind of wish I could spend some alone time
With just me and you
It sounds positive
And then she sort of realizes, oh yeah, I wish that too
And my parents prevent me from doing it
Oh
And then Dave, you're shaking your head
You don't think so?
I think you go that exact opposite route
And you become super overprotective of her
In front of her parents to freak the parents out
Oh, I see
You're giving the opposite advice
And then a month later, or two maybe
You're like, you go up to the parents
And you're gonna be like, this is how you're treating your daughter
Yeah
Like a fucking
Mindfuck
Like it was all a fucking show
Of ruse
You turned the mirror on them, didn't you?
For St. Angel style
So you treat her like garbage
For a month, maybe two
No, not garbage, you're just like overbearing
Overbearing
Yeah, and then when she starts to complain about it
You hold a mirror up to herself and be like, you know what?
That's what your parents are acting like
Or you want to wait until the parents complain
And be like, you know what?
That's what you've been acting like
You call a whole family conference
A whole family blast
An intervention of sorts
Alright, take it or leave it
That's my advice, that's Dave's
Have you ever had strict parents in laws
Or girlfriends' parents?
Um...
Most of them have been cool, right?
Yeah, I think they've always been cool
I feel like my problem is that like
Sometimes I'm with someone who really likes their family
And I really like my family
So it's like tough to balance who's family we spend time with
Yeah
But it's always been fine
I've never had a problem really
It is a hard thing because when you love someone
You don't want to get rid of them just based on their parents
But like, parents can be difficult
Like, that's like a difficult curveball
That you can't choose at all
I guess that's true
I guess family, your girlfriend's family can be difficult
I feel like in my situation
My family is always the more difficult one
Oh, that makes sense
Like, my parents are more intense than any of my girlfriends' parents have ever been
Right, they're scary
Yeah
But I mean, I'm not scared of them
Not enough for me
Right, yeah
Um, I guess...
Yeah, it's tough
But also, like, this kid is in like the honeymoon stages of his girlfriend
He hasn't been dating her for a year yet
Yeah
So we probably...
I bet there's some level of like, I want a lot of time with this girl
And he can't have it right now
But like, maybe in...
Give it some time
And everybody's gonna like ease into it
Although she's 25 and has to text pictures of her outfit to her mom for approval
Oh, that's insane
Yeah, that's crazy
That's not all right
I think he can...
If I have an open conversation with her about that
Like, some stuff is a little bit too extreme
Maybe choose the most extreme stuff
This is what I would do
I would choose the most extreme stuff
And start with those things first
Be like, maybe you shouldn't send out pictures of your outfit to your parents
Pick the things that you can comment on
And that'll like sort of...
That plants the seed in her too
Yeah
She's like, I wonder if that follows the rule all the way down to this thing
Yeah
I wonder what the living at home thing is
You think she can't move out until she's married?
That seems weird because she should...
Even if they're strict, she should be allowed to live on her own
Or with other girls or people she's not sleeping with or something
You know what?
I don't know anything about religion or anything like that
But I'm gonna go ahead and guess this person's Mormon
Without knowing much about Mormonism
I'm gonna say this person is probably Mormon
Keep in mind this is a complete shot in the dark
I cannot stress enough, I don't know the rules of Mormonism
I don't know how it affects people, why they act
But I can say with almost 100% certainty that I think this person
This is a Mormon of her
She's become Mormon
Jesus, she's a Latter-day Saint
I would completely agree with you, Amir
That she's a Mormon?
Yep
Oh, well there we have it, two Mormons against one
A Latter-day Saint
And I am a fatter gay taint
Perfect timing
For Jeff just entered with our drinks
Do you make him sound like a fucking waitress?
Our libations
I'm just glad he came in right at a, I'm a fatter gay taint
Gracious Hermano
Me, Hermano
Alright, should we go on to the next question?
Or is there anything you want to delve deeper into?
Let's go on to the next question
But first, gentlemen, cheers to our triumphant return to the New York City
And the big grapple to having two days and two twins on our podcast
It's an honor, a privilege, and frankly, it's a dream come true
I love you both
I'm in between Rose and Rosie
And now, Dave, this is our third Rose basically in two episodes
Insane
That's who would have
A trifecta
Never
So perfect, it hurts the heart
A tradition unlike any other, it's the masters of podcasts
Alright, next question
Let's do it
Gosh, let me see
Thanks for the libations, Jeff
I'm ready to imbibe
You guys are smart
I don't know any of these words
You're kind of, it's, do you ever listen to the Ricky Gervais podcast?
No, who's that?
You're kind of like our Carl Pilkington, like the guy they have around
Just because his opinions are so unique and different
We should do an, oh god, I would love if they was always on the podcast
Alright
Anything I paid for that?
Do you have a female character?
Maggie
Maggie, alright
Maggie writes
Hey guys, I've been in a serious relationship with my amazing boyfriend for nine months now
Everything was great except for one little secret that I had kept to myself for a few weeks
And I would love to hear your guys' opinion
Before we were dating, I was dating somebody else
During that relationship, we have had kind of a wet snuggle with another guy friend
And since then, the relationship between me and that guy friend have been awkward yet playful
But only in a verbal kind of way
Just a few weeks ago, I was online chatting with this guy friend again
And somehow, we both agree that we missed that night of spontaneous wet snuggling
And I half jokingly promised him we would fuck for real if we both got out of our current relationships
Is this cheating?
Well, to be fair, I have cheated on my ex with that guy already if wet snuggle's count is cheating
And to be honest, I'm very curious what sex would be like with that guy
And I'm pretty sure he feels the same way
Am I a terrible girlfriend for promising casual sex with another dude while in a serious relationship?
Thanks, Maggie
Thanks, Maggie
Thank you, Maggie
Thank you
Thanks for writing in at all
First and foremost
Yeah
Oh, I love it
What's a wet snuggle?
Oh, that's a good question
A wet snuggle?
I guess to me, I imagined it sort of like spooning while you're kissing the person's neck
And maybe you're like feeling your pussy or something
Maybe you're like making out
It's like lazy, sleepy, snugly
Where you're exploring each other's bodies but not having sex
What's the wetness? What's the moisture?
I think wet pussy, pre-come and exchanging saliva
Oh
But not jizzing
Maybe that's part of the wetness too
Maybe you're like humping your butt crack or something
Oh, yeah
So, I was gonna say mom turned down the podcast but fuck it, you know what?
Let's say that for some real shit, mama
She is your number one B
My number one who?
B?
I feel bad calling your mama B
Oh, what?
You say she's your number one B
My mom's my number one B?
Yeah
What does that even mean?
Like, don't trust the B like that B word
What are you talking about?
You know what I'm talking about, the word B-I
P-I
Do you not get it still?
Are you doing a bit?
What are you talking about?
You don't get it?
What bit?
Well, Dave, do you know what I'm talking about?
B-I-T, a bit
A bit?
No
A bitch
Thank you
I just wanted you to say it motherfucking yes
No
I've called your mother that
I was a little confused
Mama turned up the podcast, we got him dead to rights
This fucking Jew called you a bitch
Why?
This is a whole thing is a setup
We're not even recording a podcast
So does that answer your question about wet snuggles first and foremost?
Okay, so it's basically not sex but physical snugglage
Yeah, I would call it like bed grinding
The question is, one, is it cheating to promise sex to a guy
if and when you leave a relationship
and two, does it make her a terrible girlfriend?
She also asked if wet snuggling counted as cheating
for what you cheated on her ex by doing the wet snuggle
Well, I think that's a different
I say yes, any physical affection is cheating
Let's go on to the second question
Dave, let's say you have a girlfriend
She promises another guy sex
She promises another guy sex
Would you say she's cheated on you?
My take on all relationships is sort of ignorance is bliss
I don't want to know anything, don't tell me anything
and do what you gotta do
So your take is they can even cheat on someone
as long as you don't know about it
Well, yeah, I wouldn't know about it to begin with
so there's nothing happening
Wow, you are liberal, dude
No, I'm actually the opposite of liberal
I'm so conservative that if I ever found out anything
I would just go crazy
I've become liberal because I hate being the jealous type
but I know I am and I can't change that
so it's better for me just not to know
Wow, all of your opinions are so different
that I don't even know when to start
where to start
It's like your rule base is so liberal
like, hey, if I don't find out, it's not a problem
it's so liberal
but your reaction to finding out would be very conservative
anger, screaming, yelling, jealous hate
Right, intense hate
But that's sort of how you are with board games too
like, oh, I'm not cheating me if I don't get caught, right?
Uh, that's more Jeff than me
I love cheating in board games
Yeah, Jeff cheats all the time in board games
I think I caught you cheating one time
we were playing the game of life
The actual game or just living
No, we were playing the actual life game
We were playing that or Monopoly or something
and I caught him cheating
I was like, you're cheating and he goes, I cheat to win
Yeah, no, that's why everyone cheats
Everyone cheats to win
There's no other reason to cheat
I cheat just for the, you're not the joker
you just cheat for the thrill of it
I cheat to lose
So you're saying this girl hasn't done anything wrong
because her boyfriend doesn't know she's talking to him
I'm saying she won't have done anything wrong
if she doesn't tell anyone anything
including this podcast
So in this case, you are wrong
too late
So the cheating is writing in
not actually doing this thing
Promising sex is, it's not, it's beyond flirty
but I don't think it's cheating
I think it's fucked up
Yeah, so the question, so it's not cheating
but you are a bad girlfriend for doing it
Well yeah, think about everything you're doing
out in the open
and if your boyfriend found out
you'd be mortified and he'd be hurt
so what you're doing is fucked up
Basically, I always act as though
my significant other is a foot away from me
Always
So I never, I'm like scared to flirt
I'm scared to talk
I'm scared to look up past the girlfriends
on Twitter or Facebook
You'll open your phones for days and time
Because you say, I don't want to subject
my significant other who is a foot away from me
to this stench
No, I fart in front of my girlfriends
when I do have girlfriends that is
That might actually also be a part of the wet snuggle
The what, the moisture of the fart
But yeah, when I'm in a relationship
that's how I treat my life
I feel like as though there's this ghost of a lady here
always staring at me, judging me
So it's like, it's kind of admirable
because it's like I'm not doing anything wrong
but then it's like, I have to sort of
I'm only doing it because I don't want to
get in trouble or get caught
Which brings me to the second part
of my statement
It is fucked up, but at the same time
everybody's fucked up a little bit
People do fucked up shit all the time
and she's not cheating, which is the most fucked up thing
She's not actually snuggling wet
She has this kind of like, it's a cheap thrill
but it's not actually doing any damage
it would just hurt someone's feelings
So I think you've done the lesser of two evils
Yeah, the emotional cheat, not the physical cheat
But it's not even an emotional cheat to look at
I guess it is, everybody has fucking fantasies
Yeah, but this girl actually told a guy
that's like starting to creep into the reality
Yeah, if I'm single, I'll do it
But I mean, if you want to do it, just get single
and then do it
Yeah, it seems like that's the first step towards breaking up
is like, oh, if I were single, I'd fuck you
Oh, me too
And then that's like, okay, that's the terror
So we promise each other to get single and fucked
So all I have to do is get single
and then I know I can fuck you
Isn't that the best part about getting out of a relationship though
Like cashing in on all that flirting that you've done
Oh, like all this subtextual flirting
They're like, I can't ever do this because blah, blah, blah
Now it's like, okay, I'm liberated, I'm a free agent
Hey, remember, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, snap
Oh, god
That's the honeymoon phase of being broken up
Yeah
Like the first X amount of weeks, months, whatever
feels great
And then you start settling into the reality
once you exhausted all those resources
and you look around and everyone's just empty and cold
and you're like, oh no
I feel like that's where you are right now
You're so acutely aware of that emotion
Now I'm a totally different person
I don't have emotions
What about you, Dave, ever broken up with a girl?
Yes and no
More no
I always get broken up with
I ride that shit out till it ends
I'll never end anything
I just become such a bad person
that I force the girl to end it
You're one of those guys
Yeah, which I don't love about myself
Yeah, I don't think so
But I also don't hate about myself
But that's one of the things people learn
as they grow older
is that when you're young
you're like, oh, I don't want to break up
I'll just be bad, distant, uninterested
until the other person breaks up with me
That way I don't have to actually go through it
And then after you've done that maybe once or twice
you realize, oh, it's easier just to have
one terrible conversation
and not have to be in this relationship
for an extra year
Yeah, maybe
Sounds like good advice
But the problem is, I think, you don't have a lot of time
to dabble with being in a relationship
Like, if you start at age 18
and you want to get married by 28 to 33
you only have so many years of being an expert
before you get tied down
And some people even just settle down
much earlier than that
To be perfectly honest
the advancements in technology and science
over the next 10 or 20 years
means we're all going to live for a very long time
How long? What's your theory on that?
Probably 150, maybe 200
You think the first person who's going to be 200
is already born?
Oh, yeah, I do
I watched Ted Talks
250?
This actually brings us to our,
can bring us to our break
Don't we, and finish this guys?
Yeah, it's fucked up but you haven't cheated
but don't fall through because then that's cheating
Yeah, yeah
Okay, cool
Let's get to the break where we just talk about
Talking to a professional licensed therapist
is the best way to navigate yourself out of that
difficult place

Dave
Great, this is all I've been waiting for
I don't even have to answer another question
What's like a good
you said you listen to TED Talks
that reminds me of
I think once I
saw you audio recording
all hands meeting at College Humor
so that you can
so what so can you explain what that is
that's just me not remembering anything
anyone ever says
so what do you do
listen to it like five or six times
so you record meetings
really let it sink in
you record every meeting
Yeah, I do
you record every meeting that you have
and then you listen to it later like a podcast
I record 12 hours of every day
and then I listen to it for the
reverse 12 hours
so it's almost like I'm constantly
living in the past
the same day
twice
it's like if you were to watch the first half
of Groundhog Day
twice in a row
you also strike me as someone that like
listens to a lot of podcasts at like 2x speed
1.5
I'm not at the 2x level yet
but you like to cram in a lot of life in your life
I've written into iTunes
to ask them to
crank it up to 3x in the future
but at that point it's just gibberish
there's no limit to how many
how often I
how much data I can stuff in my brain at every minute
I am curious what the
why they even have that feature
what which one
they have the 1.5 and then they have the 2x
speed
are people using that
probably right
it just seems like you lose like all tonality
and
is it just like I feel like if you're listening to like a
business podcast or like
I don't know the economy or something but
it seems like that feature
who's using that feature
people who are in a rush
I've watched one movie at 1.5
speed
I'm for a movie
it was the Star Wars trilogy
my junior year of college
I did mushrooms
and we watched Tenacious D
Pick a Destiny
all the way through
on a Playstation 3
and then once the movie was over we were like
what do we do now
and someone accidentally hit the remote
and it pushed it to like 1.5 speed
and we watched the whole movie again in like
an hour
and it was actually better
it really was
any other funny Dave anecdotes that can come to mind
or questions
the one that I was thinking of when you were talking about
what was it
his last opinion on the
Ted Talks thing oh the people living to be 200
when we were in
when we were in Ann Arbor
I'm a little groggy because we like
drank a lot of vodka and then we smoked like
a joint to our face
but we were sitting in this
it was like
my friend's little brother's
house
and we're all talking about like fucking
deep meaningful things on like
Earth and space
you know they're like college kids
but we like came to their level
and we were just talking like fucking
stoners who were learning a lot
you know just like questioning things
and like oh do you guys think the
Moon landing was real and like you said some stuff
and then I like gave
some stuff and then we asked Dave like Dave
what do you think the Moon landing was real
I'm not sure the Moon's real
yeah I think
that's a fair assessment of
the celestial object that doesn't rotate
around the Earth
so do you actually think that or are you just trying to be silly
at the time
let's go with silly
but there is
a part of you that wouldn't be 100%
surprised if the Moon wasn't real
you know you can't really know
anything that's sort of
what I think about stuff like who knows
so that's where we differ
I think there are
plenty of people who are smarter than us
three I should say
that know a lot especially the fact that
the Moon is real
would you call them liars
well it depends how you define real
would you be willing to talk about your near-death experience
um
boy
keep in mind only 70,000 people will listen to this
in the next few weeks
you're not in any fault
in this story
yeah sure why not
so what was your near-death experience
have you heard this story?
I think I've heard it but maybe not from Dave exactly
I guess like a month
into college
JMU what up JMU
there's a real quick anecdote about JMU
Jeff and Dave went to the same school
for anybody not
they probably know anyone listening by now
but Jeff and Dave are identical twins
and they lived in different dorms
and they didn't hang out
in the freshman year of college
and they would see each other on campus
and not even acknowledge one another
and uh at some points
like since back then they
you know they had similar haircuts
they basically looked the same
and I didn't know the difference of them sometimes
so people would see Jeff out
and they'd be like hey Dave
and Jeff would just be like hey
they just assumed each other's identities
but never hung out together
that's pretty awesome
yeah 1.5 speed
we saw twins in 91 minutes
alright so your freshman year at JMU
yeah freshman year at JMU
I uh set up a party
tight
yeah that's whatever
I ended up like
pledging this fraternity
and you joined a frat
I joined a frat but this was like before I was in the frat
this was like when I wanted
people in the frat to think I was cool
right by the way don't call
your frat don't call your fraternity a frat
you just called her frat twice
you wouldn't call your country a cunt
you did that before the podcast started
you said welcome to this cunt
I love living in this cunt
you kept on calling it a cunt
you went out of your way to do it
lambda, chi, alpha
alright get to the fucking near death experience
so
I ended up going home with this girl
was like a senior to impress my friends
was she an 8 and 9
what would you rank her dude?
solid 3
chick from west virginia
they got tails
half of them do at least
and then
I got back to her place
two hours later
after I like didn't know how to have sex with her
because I was like oh I
assumed like a senior in college would like be the one to like
make all the moves
and I kind of pussied out
I ended up
having to
walk back to campus because I was like
nervous that she would
like wake up in the morning and be like
oh this dude's a freshman
I didn't know that I was going to have to like drive him back to his dorm
and I didn't want to like be a part of that
awkward drive so I ended up walking
back which is like 4 miles
maybe so this is what time in the
this is like 3 or 4 in the morning
so at 3 am after hooking up with this girl
you were sort of hooking up with this girl
I actually think it was one of those times
where it's like a girl's wearing like
spandex and I'm like oh
can this be like
used as like a condom if I don't have one
okay so 3 am
you wet snuggled with this girl
and you're ashamed to
sleep next to her because you're afraid she'll find out your real age
so you decide to
walk 4 miles back to campus
yeah so I got about like half a mile
or a mile
and I ended up hitchhiking
thumbing a ride as it were
we'll get to that part
yeah and then the guy
so Harrisonburg Virginia is actually like a pretty big
considered the east
the meth capital of the east coast
because there's like a lot of meth labs
in the hills
Shenandoah Valley
and I81 crosses right through the college
so there's like a lot of
weird truckers and
meth heads and shit
and yeah so this guy like
tried to play with my balls
and I jumped out of the car
got concussed
lost a sense of smell
half deaf my right ear
okay
lost my sense of humor
back up a little bit
you told us about the fraternity
about using spandex as a condom
and then you got to
the trucker trying to touch your dick and balls
and you glossed right over
yeah I mean
what doesn't he like
you know I'm fucking wearing a nice hat probably
got a dope
18 year old body
this dude tried to molest you
would you say that's true
yeah but yeah
it is yeah yeah yeah
he was on meth at the time or some drug
well he was like yeah he's addicted to drugs he's a crazy person
you jumped out of the car
I did jump out of the car how fast was the car going
like an average speed I guess it was like 35
okay so you
jumped out of the car at that point you're also going 35 miles
per hour if I remember physics so you're
you're flying across the ground
at 35 miles per hour you hit something
well the idea
of my head was like I would open the door
and like do this like dope ass like tuck and roll
yeah like stop drop and roll
then you get up brush yourself off
and take a motorcycle back to the girl
yeah fuck the shit out of her this time
yeah she's like holy shit you're in ten years right then
but it kind of
went down a little differently where it's like
I imagine I open the door
and
if you saw it happen it probably looked like
I just like fell out and just hit my head
oh you hit your head on the ground
right outside and then I went unconscious
instantly do you
remember or does your mind block out
like the leaving of the car
um
it remembers opening the
door and then nothing else
and then waking up in a hospital
no not in a hospital I woke up in the street
with a flashlight in my face
because I think like
two girls found me laying in the street
and called the ambulance
wow and then like I remember
screaming because
like uh
I guess whenever they find someone unconscious
they're like worried that their neck is broken
so they like strap them to some
shit yeah the stretcher
with like a neck brace do you know who those two girls are
um
no I don't
wow so they just left you forever you never saw them again
they saved your life
they did save my life
and then what is this about a coma
oh yeah well I had to be in like a drug
drug induced coma for like
four or five days for them to do
surgery on my brain and shit
hahahaha
did the surgery go well
oh wait they've mapped the shit
no yeah I uh
I became fluent in seven languages
and it's true
how dare you it's true
you think they just
reprogrammed your brain and added functionality to it
it's possible
if you watch the proper TED Talks
you'll gain a little bit of understanding
of nanotechnology so how do you think
that's changed you going forward
um a week a month a year later
I could fucking eat pussy for
dooooooo
you couldn't do that before
no I was only eating an asshole before that
what the smell like you would soon be worse
no I only eat asshole of vegetarians
it's a pure
organic taste
to it
you only eat asshole but you just said
now you can eat pussy for days
well you pussy and then I go to the asshole
the asshole's down my dessert
you only eat asshole because it doesn't
know what that is
they both become one entity
when you lick as long and as hard as I
and is there anything else other than
you
no I want to keep on exploring this avenue
21 questions
there's no smell I don't like
you've gone down on more girls buttholes
and you have their vaginas
it's sort of like a dual entity in that regard
meaning what
I don't swipe left or
swipe right tinder style I swipe up
and then down
alright okay
I create a shit trail from the asshole
to the belly button
that's wide enough
you ever heard of trail of tears
this is a trail of smears
ever heard of tobacco road
this is chocolate road
is there anything else you want to delve into
or should we try to answer one more question before we have to go
I guess we can answer one more
I mean I could tell dave stories all day
we need to have them back because
it's a never ending scene
we didn't even talk about the chokeslam
in wisconsin
I've talked about it on the podcast
I kind of lied a bit earlier I've listened to every podcast
alright
we need one more dude question
no dude name
marty heart
marty hearty writes
hey dudes I don't have a girlfriend
I think the reason is that I'm so damn serious
I don't laugh a lot and although
I sometimes can come up with funny jokes
I think it's not very often
and in a party I only start to talk
when it's about a serious issue
like politics, literature, etc
I don't think girls dislike me
but I feel like they cannot get close to me
I make them uncomfortable
what should I do
for you two, how much as being funny
has helped you to get laid
thanks marty heart
I'll take this one I think
it really seems fair
do you consider yourself a funny person
I used to a bit more
then you sort of entered the work world
and taxes and health insurance
kind of gets to you
how does your health insurance gets to you
the company that pays it to you
you got that right my friend
what up collegehumor.com
check it out
they know who we are
they probably heard of college humor
and what is a website with two words
that's not a thing
tell us about why you wanted to take this question
what was the question again
how do you be funny
and do you think funny helps you get laid
yeah funny
definitely helps you get laid
I mean there are unfunny girls
so there's definitely boring people
that are with boring people
yeah it's weird to think
we only hang out with funny people
there's a whole pretty large section of the population
that isn't funny
and when an unfunny guy hangs out with an unfunny girl
they can go weeks without making jokes
do you think that's true
I think people always find a way to amuse themselves
so it's not necessarily our type of humor
we don't think they're funny but they laugh
but I think there are some people who are serious
I just don't make jokes
I think that's possible
that breaks my heart
but it is doable
and then those types of guys find those types of girls
sounds like this guy doesn't want to laugh
and make jokes
he wants to get pussy
but it's tough
there's so many factors to go into
getting laid
being funny is just one of them
but if you're funny
if you make girls uncomfortable
in all the right places
what are the wrong places
actually
anus
a ribbed anus
do you think you consider
your sense of humor a way to get girls
or is it more like the fact that you're 6 foot 3
190 pounds
6 foot 4
250
I just love your brain
should I make a believable lie up
I just go for the gold
it's like 6 foot 4
250
no not 250 you liar
you sack of shit
Jeff adds an extra inch to his height
every time he asks for a new driver's license
so you started at what Jeff
you said
you said 6'1
now we're up to 6'4
so you think the next time you get your license
you're gonna say 6'5
I missed one of the
deadlines so I'm gonna go straight to 6'6
Michael Jordan site
alright so
you're tall, you're attractive
you think you're also funny
you think that helps you get laid
I don't know
I kind of have a problem now where I don't know if I mentioned it before
but that accident made me like half deaf
so it's really hard
for me to hear what girls are even saying
at bars or clubs
so I kind of have to do this thing now where I'm like
having one way conversations
and trying to assume stuff they say
and it's sort of like a weird game
where I'm having a conversation
with someone not knowing
what 50% of the conversation is
so for me I have to like
randomly come up with stuff that's
somehow relevant to her
expressions and not the words that she's saying
and so I feel like I'm forced
to try and be creative when I talk to people
just because I can't hear anything they're saying ever
interesting
so is that what you said
that's your game
recently since I moved to New York it has been
how would you describe your game
like you see a girl that you're attracted to at a bar
I feel like we talk enough about how we
get girls I want to know
through your lens you find someone that's attractive
at a bar what do you do
oh boy you know
I shed a couple clothes
do some push-ups in the bathroom
bob a shirt
come out
straight beater
Dave doesn't approach girls I don't think
do
I don't actually I don't know
it works really well for Dave because he's like
statuesque and attractive and he's kind of
brooding and intense
do you see a lot of girls giving you the eye
yeah that's like well they don't give him the eye
we'll go into a bar
and
sloppily drunk girls will just
come up to Dave
that's pretty awesome
they're wasted but they just want to
that girl that came up to you which is like
my friends bet me I had like that I had to kiss
you and you're like okay and you started making
out with her and meanwhile there was a girl coming
to the bar to meet you
yo baby I don't remember that ever happening
you know my baby knows who this is
I should never happen
you didn't find out it wasn't
it wasn't him
did you come down and see you making out
where was this
the whiskey yeah
oh yeah that was
that was interesting
interesting night
yeah that is what happened
I always get in trouble for doing
dumb stuff so I stopped doing
dumb stuff
can you give us an example of a funny
dumb anecdote
I always get in trouble for doing
bad and wrong things
with girls yeah okay
it's just like I
what's the dumbest wrongest thing that pops into
your brain right now
you're out
you're meeting people you're at a bar
even if it's like
it's never like with a girl from it even if I
like two girls they'll always
end up being at the spot
than I am and it's happened consistently
my entire life so it's like it's getting caught out
it's like getting called out for something
I shouldn't even be called out for in the first spot
but I'm
I can never do anything like slob
I've never been the guy to be
able to do that not because I'm not capable
maybe I'm not capable
you really hate to detract from yourself
so what's the game
what's your game
I don't know if I have a game
you do because you're very
you're a ladies man of sorts
Jake's been out with you he's seen it half
they've closed
playing the twin card is awfully great
check out if I could plug my website real quick
I don't know if you did it last night Jeff
but twincest.com
what is that
ask the belly button
tears of tears
twincest.com available
and do you own the at least on the url
we own twincest.gov
so do you have any funny
dave
ladies stories
I won't tell the specifics of
one but I do have one that I like a lot
I mean I'm not going to stop you
it's your podcast it's your fucking podcast
I'm going to tell it and if you really hate it
when I'm done then we can cut it out
so we were out
me and Dave were out one night it was like
one of those Thursday nights
Thursday
that manic Thursday you know what I mean
we just need it
we're out at our old corner
around 11th and Berry
so we're popping around to all the spots
whiskey Brooklyn
so we're at whiskey but there's nothing going on
we got to try to find girls
we weren't even started the night at White's
but we're like all about this corner
so we got from the White's
to whiskey to Brooklyn Bowl
to Kinfolk and you can only leave this one
square block but it's like 3am
there's nothing happening at Brooklyn
Bowl so we go over to Kinfolk
I was like
trying to find a spot to put my jacket
Dave goes does the fastest lap
he comes out his eyes are darting
he's not blank he's just like
no go go
we have to get out
it was almost 4am at this point
we just needed to go to a bar
we just needed chicks
we walked down the block
to like 6th street
5 whole blocks cameo
yep cameo
we went in Dave did a lap
came out he was like no we got to go
on the way to cameo we went to Roberta's
but it was closed then we went to cameo
we got to go we got to go
at this point I was like
it was 4 bars everything was closed
and I'm like I threw up my hands like
dude I'm done it's not going to happen
I'm going to go home
that's probably what I did
Dave meanwhile went to like
a 24 hour bagel shop
found somebody at 5am
and fucked her on his roof
how I want to know
we're out of we're almost out of time
I want to know how you go from bagel shot
to fucking on a roof because he doesn't give up
I bought her sandwich
tell me can you tell me
what happened what did you do
how did you do that
I mean it's 4 in the morning
so you go up to be like hi
what's your name I'm Dave
I don't even say anything
it's like you're there I'm desperate
are you desperate yes I have a roof
I tip my hat
that's all I do I just tip my hat
it finally came out
that's what the hat's for
I'll give you the real reason for the hat
it just came to me
my brain's a little dysfunctional
but it came to me it's like when you're out
the hat adds maybe
4 or 5 different moves to
any sort of dance repertoire
oh it's an accessory
it's a prop
so I guess I don't need to wear it during the day
but I get used to it because I wear it at night
it's nice to have it it's a security blanket
it definitely is
alright
there you have it
we ended with the hat
Dave thank you so much
let's not get dinner and redo this
no no no
and I want to hit over the hour Mark
we definitely want to have you back
because there's a lot more fertile ground
to be what do you do with fertile ground
sewed
there's a lot more fertile ground to be sewed
but thanks for coming on
at least getting this first one under your belt
next time you're going to be very comfortable
very casual
you're going to really really unload some real deep dark secrets
I agree
the first the opening theme song
we're still accepting theme song submissions
was from a married couple like we said before
from Steve and Malika Bush
and this last theme song
was from somebody who
I think his name is something some clear
but his rap name is Mr. Sin Credible
which is probably better than his real name
anyway
thank you again for listening everybody
keep those questions coming to
ifirishow at gmail.com
keep the theme songs coming to ifirishow.com
Dave do you have anything you want to plug before we go
