One, two, three, four.
Jay and Amir have a show.
But it's not the one you probably know.
They're not the awful people they pretend to be.
And that one, here they're real.
But it's still a lot of fun, oh.
Don't get me wrong.
They're still really awful people, especially Jay.
But we love them still.
We can't stop listening, no, we can't stop tuning in.
If I were you, I'd host the podcast show.
Perfect song.
Really?
I loved it.
It was a ballad, it told a story, and it was funny, and it made me feel nice.
What was the genre?
Because I like that song.
But how do I listen to other songs like that?
I think it's like folksy.
Pop, folksy pop.
It wasn't pop, was it?
It was catchy, it was upbeat.
What's the most famous song that sounds like that?
This land is your land?
Yeah, no.
It's not quite as poppy as that.
That's just more folk.
That's like Simon and Garfunkel.
Simon and Garfunkel aren't quite as folksy as that.
This guy's name is, he wrote this whole email accompanying his song,
and I'm like, this guy's a turd, I'm not going to play his song.
It's so good that I'm like, oh, this guy's actually really good.
I'm going to read his email verbatim.
The whole thing, wow.
So he said, my name is Sheridan Wojka, W-O-I-K-A.
So if we use his theme song, I'd love for you to plug my band, the Sheridan Wojkas.
And then I clicked on the Sheridan Wojkas,
and it takes me to a website called Sticker Kids Kitchen.
So there's a chance that the Sheridan Wojkas changed their names to Sticker Kids Kitchen,
which probably makes more sense,
because Sticker Kids Kitchen is much more fun and cool to say
than the Sheridan Wojkas.
Either way, the song is great.
Thank you, Sheridan Wojka.
Well, that's how you listen to more songs like that then.
You become a stickin' kitchen band.
Yeah, but I don't want to learn new songs.
I feel like I like the songs that I know.
You already know Macklemore and Rapgod.
Yeah, so I feel like I've already known Rapgod,
and so now I'll just listen to the Rapgod over and over.
Yeah, like I've already listened to all the good songs,
so I just have to listen to them again.
Just, yeah, fair enough.
Yeah, I don't want to learn anything new.
Bad attitude.
Song-wise, I feel like I've peaked.
Oh, you know what? I think there's a song that's like...
What is it? No, it's like...
It's late December and I should be back at school.
Something like...
Is it Countin' Crows?
No, no, no, no. It's like, um...
No, no, you idiot.
Oh, Maggie, I couldn't have died
another if I could have died.
Oh, fuck no, this is the most embarrassing thing
I've ever done in a podcast.
Anymore!
Oh, God, you're awful.
You're so bad at music.
Shit, what is that song?
You want to look it up while I explain the show?
Yes.
All right, great, hey, this is If I Were You,
the only advice podcast on the internet hosted by us.
I'm Amir.
And I'm looking up a song, but I'm Jake.
So, how does it work?
People email us with their difficult little questions.
They need advice, and so they come to us
and they email us at IfIWereYouShow at gmail.com.
We read these real emails from real people
and do our best, our darndest, actually,
to advise them out of their sticky situations.
It's Rod Stewart, Maggie May.
Oh, Rod Stewart is really good.
You know what song does that kind of sound?
It reminds me that it gets me happy like that opening theme song is.
That was a bad way to say it, but Someone Like You by Rod Stewart.
How does that one go?
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easier.
I just wanted you to make yourself sing it the way I did.
There's some other song that's like this, oh, fuck it.
Fuck it.
Songs are good is what we're trying to say.
We like music, even though we can't sing it or appreciate it.
We like old music that we can't remember.
I wonder what percentage of people listening to this podcast
are listening to it for the first time.
Maybe it's 5%, maybe it's 10%.
But if you are here for the first time, thanks for joining us.
We open every episode.
You never ever thanked new people.
Why not?
We should.
I guess we're starting now.
I just wanted to explain that every episode starts with a new,
brand new theme song that is submitted to us by our talented fans.
And yeah, you can submit those yourself at that same email
if I were your show at gmail.com.
Now, this episode will be a little bit different
because instead of choosing four questions together,
we each chose two and we're going to read them back and forth
and the other person is going to hear them for the first time.
So I chose two questions, Jake chose two questions
and we haven't heard each other's questions yet.
That's right.
Do you want to start or should I start?
I'll start.
Yeah, you never read questions.
I'll start.
I'll start.
Hey now.
You're an all start.
Get your game on.
Get your read on.
Go farts.
Nice.
What's a good...
We'll do the 90s bands.
Oh.
This is from Smash Mouth.
Okay, yeah, okay.
These are really almost from real people.
We give them fake names to preserve their anonymity.
So this person's name is Smash Mouth.
Smash Mouth writes,
Hi, I've listened to every episode
and wished I had problems that equaled those of the people who write in
and I never really did until recently.
I've started talking to two girls.
One, an absolute smoke show.
10 out of 10.
Perfect.
But I find just a bit off.
Not that she's not nice.
There's just something about her personality I don't quite like.
Then there's this other amazing girl.
Probably a 9 out of 10.
And I find her personality beautiful.
I want to get to know her better and hopefully start dating her.
But I just can't get out of my head this opportunity I have with a 10 out of 10.
What do I do?
Should I fuck the hotter one just to get it out of my system?
Then get with a 9 out of 10?
Any advice would be brilliant.
Smash Mouth.
Cool.
I've never heard a question for the first time on the show before.
That was fun.
So this guy's choosing between a dime and a nine.
A dime and a nine.
Dime with a terrible personality.
Not a terrible, but something's wrong with it.
Something a bit off.
Something a little bit off.
I want to see if you find in this email the same thing that I caught.
Which was, is it the overarching sentiment of this guy can fuck a 10 and a nine?
It's sort of the overarching sentiment of this guy's self aggrandizing asshole.
Which is...
A 10 likes me and a nine likes me.
What am I going to do?
Hook up with the nine?
But then I'll never get this 10 out of my head.
So even though I don't find her that attractive personality wise, I would like to fuck her just because I can.
And then I'm going to go out with the nine.
Well, it seems like he brings up an interesting point, not specifically this scenario.
But every time, you always go for, let's say, the most attractive person right off the bat.
Because that's the first thing you see with them physically.
And then you start taking away points based on their personality.
So this girl, I mean, a 10 and a nine are so similar, it's almost not worth it.
Even trying to figure out the specific problem here.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
Sometimes I have beer goggles on so blurry that I think a nine is a 10 or a 10 is a two.
It honestly doesn't even matter.
That's why I coined the phrase.
And I say coined because I'm talking about dimes, nickels, pennies and quarters sometimes.
I've had a court of beer and I am so black out drunk that my beer goggles make me screw a fucking buffalo nickel.
What's a buffalo nickel?
It's a five that looks like a goddamn donkey.
It's a five that resembles a goddamn buffalo.
That's right.
Yeah, I'll fuck a girl who looks like a buffalo Bill's player, actually.
A water buffalo as I need to butt chug water just so I can sober up and stop myself from looking up with this goddamn nickel.
This girl who looks like I swear to God, Thurman Thomas with a wig, Jim Kelly without one.
Jolly old Saint Nick, nickel.
She is fat and bearded and I'm not sure she's a woman, but I've had enough ales in my body to decide that my goggles are made of beer.
And I think I'm going to hook up with her or him.
I have beer goggles so thick.
I'll fuck a bottle of beer.
I don't even need a woman.
I will have sex with a beer that I drink.
Fuck I'm coming.
Oh no.
I fucking premature ejaculated into a Heineken bottle.
I put it in her heiny.
And I have cum goggles now.
They're way more cloudy.
It makes every girl look like beer.
Where were we?
What should he do?
Should he hook up with this ten just to get it out of his system and then move on to a nine?
You know what, sure.
If you can hook up with a ten and then a nine, do that.
Please.
You don't have any advice that you need.
It's self-aggrandizing.
You can't hook up with a ten.
That's what I'm saying.
I feel like he just wanted to write this email just to fucking show his problem to the world.
But let's talk about it in more grand terms.
Let's say there was a ten with an awful personality and a girl that you would deem a five.
I feel bad even ranking women at this point.
I would like to submit this.
If you actually have feelings for this beautiful nine, then there's always going to be tens out there.
There's always going to be tens.
There's always going to be sevens.
There's going to be fours knocking down your doors.
If you are feeling something for this nine and she's beautiful inside and out,
then cut it off and just go and just fuck her.
Yeah.
Well, I have a problem.
I can't really separate a hot person with a terrible personality is not attractive to me.
Oh, yeah.
No, I don't have that problem.
Some people can separate the personality and the physicality.
Yes.
You can.
Yeah, of course.
A hot, terrible person you can still be attracted to.
I could be attracted to an ugly, terrible person.
I have been.
I've dated them.
What?
You dated an ugly, terrible?
Of course.
And the UT?
I?
Of course.
Did you just confess to me that you have a urinary tract infection?
I do need cranberry juice.
Is that what girls do when they have UTIs?
Yeah, yeah, cranberry juice.
So how do you, is it a conscious thing that you can do?
Other girls are hot but terrible, but let me try to not think about that, or is it just...
Well, she's Louise.
Is it the way your brain is wired?
If a girl is hot but terrible, then I'd like to punish her by fucking her, stabbing her
with my knife dick.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The curse.
The curse.
In my mind, your way back at her isn't by like, you, if a girl's hot but terrible.
For me, yeah, my way is like...
You're like, all right, I'm not going to talk to you.
If a girl's hot but terrible, I'm like, I'm going to fuck you.
Yeah.
I'm going to make you like me so much that you fuck me, and then I'm going to leave, and
then I'm terrible.
I like to out-terrible people.
Oh, so you want to be even more terrible than a terrible girl?
Yeah.
Okay, so why is that?
You don't seem insecure.
Maybe I'm afraid.
Maybe I am insecure, and maybe I'm just like, oh, if I...
You know, like, it's like if I'm afraid of murderers, but then I just become a serial killer.
I become the creepiest motherfucker in the world, then people fear me.
I see.
So let's say I have a fear of bees.
You should become a wasp.
What?
You become the more terrible creature.
A white Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
That's exactly right.
Yeah.
All of a sudden, your name is Richard.
Oh my God, I'm sprouting a fucking sweater vest.
Richard Cooper, nice to meet you.
Hey, is that a squash racquet, or are you just happy to see me?
You know my wife, Sheila, my two lovely twin daughters.
Sheila and Sheila?
Oh no, I made a terrible mistake.
Shit, suddenly I can't differentiate between my wife and daughters.
My wife.
That accent almost made it work.
My wife.
You know my wife.
Eat my wife.
Take my wife, Sheila.
So did we answer this guy's question?
He's a liar.
Yeah.
Well, I think, so my answer is that like you're always going to be tempted by a ten.
Just like go with your heart right now.
And it sounds like your advice was just to fuck, if you can fuck a ten, then fuck a ten.
Yeah.
Unless you think it's going to compromise something with the nine.
I mean, if you can, you should.
It's your right as a human being to have sex with the most attractive person that you can.
Well, what if she, but like what if this ten likes him and he's like, oh, I just want to fuck her and then like leave her.
It's your dirtying, you're complicating your situation.
Yeah.
But you can just sleep with someone without leading them on.
As long as, yeah, I think as long as you're up front and honest with both of the girls and that's good.
Yeah, you say, hey, you are so attractive.
I've never been able to get someone as good looking as you to actually be interested in me.
I'm not interested in your personality.
There's a nine down the road who has a much better thing going on.
However, I would like to.
Oh, hey, what the hell?
All right.
You were in ten.
Let me get there.
Bitch.
Sorry.
I shouldn't have used that word, but crap.
That really freaking hurt.
It kills my heart.
It hurt my soul, actually.
All right.
Let's let me choose the question that I or let me read the question that I chose, I should say.
All right.
I might have accidentally deleted it.
That's cool.
That's bad.
Chill.
That's not good.
I wish you didn't.
I would like to read.
All right.
Got it.
This one's funny because.
Don't tell me why.
Well, I have to explain a little bit.
So it's a series of three emails.
Let me read the first one first.
Give me a nineties band to call this person.
It's a dude.
A sugar Ray.
All right.
Sugar Ray writes.
Hey guys, my friend has a friend who I'm pretty attracted to.
The worst slash funniest part is that I've never met her.
I've seen her on Facebook and Instagram and I'm sure she's seen me too.
The only time I'll probably ever get a chance to meet her is at one of my friend's parties or something.
And I don't know if or when he'll invite her.
My question is how should I go about meeting slash talking to this smoke show?
Should I start following her on Instagram and message her?
Should I talk to my friend about it?
I don't think I should just hope to meet her one day.
I've never really been in this situation and I don't know the smoothest way to deal with it.
Thanks.
Toda, great show.
And then the next day he wrote a follow-up email to us.
P.S., I would totally be down to have sex with her.
Then six days later he wrote another follow-up to us.
P.P.S., I think I need to have sex with her.
So more and more.
P.P.P.S.
I actually ended up masturbating to her and now more than ever I need to know what it feels like to have sex with her.
Follow-up the fourth.
I can't stop thinking that I swat slash need to bone this throne.
Oh, please.
Oh, part five.
I am growing desperate.
It turns out I need to have sex with anything or anyone.
All my friends friends are pretty attractive.
Do advise.
I'm begging you.
So despite the humor of this guy emailing us every three days with his growing desperation.
Five days and he's just like, you know what?
I need to have sex with her.
P.P.P.P.P.S., I no longer give a shit.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.
You smell like P.P.
That was a bluff.
I still want slash need it.
So how well has this ever happened to you?
You're scooping around somebody else's Facebook and you're like, wow, my friend's friend is hot.
Yeah, I think I've done that before.
I would just add her as a friend and then like message her or something.
Really, you would add a person you don't know as a friend?
I think so.
I mean, I wouldn't do that now.
But like when I was in high school or college, which I imagine this guy is because he is so clueless.
Yeah, like follow on Instagram, do whatever.
I mean, like, it's your friend's friend.
The stakes are so low.
You wouldn't go the friend angle?
I don't know.
I guess he is saying I need to have sex with her.
So maybe we should give him advice that's like legit.
Well, this is that idea that we had where you tell people how to message people and then they would pay you to do that because that's your area of expertise.
This is like a free version of that right now.
I'm king at messaging.
Call me text king.
I'm always texting.
And I actually just texted your thing.
What do you mean?
And she jumped up on my thing.
You texted my thing?
Doesn't that sting?
No.
I don't know what you're talking about.

matter that changes the game a little bit yeah instead of he just wants to
like whatever yeah cuz I think you should I think people should you know
toss a lot of seeds into into their fertile garden beds and see what grows
yeah I'm a funny guy and like let's talk to you you and you and you and like
they may be talking to him him and him and him yeah and it's just like and
none of it really matters especially when we're like talking about Facebook and
Instagram and like buying somebody a drink at a bar that's like low barrier to
entry dating is easy simple harmless stupid fun okay now you want to have
sex that's great you can do that with whoever you want is an instructional
video so you've decided to have sex ex volume to the so you've so you've decided
to have sex with a specific person now you're getting invested now you can be
disappointed it's a little dangerous huh so I think what I would do is just you
want to max minimize rejection okay meaning so messaging her and being like
hi my name is John or whatever his name is sugar Ray do you want to get a drink
sometime that she says no you're like okay fuck him crushed right so you do
have to talk to the friend don't it don't be a passive weirdo and like
follower on Instagram right talk to the friend have a party invite her over and
go up and talk to her and just be charming but you not outwardly be like
I'm trying to fuck you right just you let her want to fuck you and then you
reciprocate always meet her feelings match her feelings and then see what
happens but always be ready to just pull band and like a get out so then she's
not like oh that guy was desperate she's just like oh that I thought that guy
wanted that but maybe didn't even mean it now is go always off talking to
somebody else okay well okay here well here's my question okay I'm sugar Ray
I'm sugar I'm always trying to visualize thing on a mathematical line
obviously that's a nerd that's a problem that's not a good thing to do but
here's my humor me here me here you are at 100 okay I was born at a 100 enough
sorry I yeah no I wouldn't and then on the other side of this spectrum is the
girl at negative 100 okay that those are strangers you're 200 apart meeting in
the middle is boning okay so you want to go let's say to like 90 and then see if
she goes to her negative 90 or she has to go to her like negative 85 a little
further to 0 and then you move a little bit closer to 0 or do you want to like
go to like 50 and see if she goes to like 25 and then you like sort of pull her
closer you got it depends but like if you I think you start going like 90 to 85
and you just want her you don't you don't need her to meet you just you just
want her needle to move oh so like if it registers a little bit you're like oh if
you if you go 85 and she goes to 98 and you're like okay I'll chill on 85 still
at 85 85 85 and she's creeping up and you're like oh what's up 85 again she's
like oh fuck yeah I'm at 85 and you're like 70 she's like holy shit I'm going
back to 90 and you're like oh 80 80 80 80 it's fun 80 80 80 and she's like okay
okay 85 and you're like 50 and she's like whoa whoa wait a second but before
she knows it she's at fucking 65 because you're at 50 and then you're like baby
I'm going back to 90 what the fuck you doing over there at 60 yo your dad is like
she's like hey hey you brought me here all right all right I'm at 70 and then
you're like oh you're at 70 well motherfucker I'm at zero what pants are
oh my god I'm hoping whoever's near you holy shit he says this guy's a creep and
she walks away that was beautiful thank you see that's a perfect combination of

she's a rude
when they're not around however she's a rude I love this question she's a rude bitch to me all the time
since she's friends with all my friends she knows a lot about me just from stories and she gives
me shit about things I did in the past that I'm not proud of all the time and she uses these stories
to berate and hurt me it's a fucking fascist regime don't get me wrong though I want to have a good
relationship with my mother it's just hard when with her usually your position with my friends
in order to hurt me yeah how can I either fix my relationship with my mom or get all my friends to

oh my god that's so funny what an amazing mother she's a rude bitch to me all the time
that's why her that's why your friends like her so much uh well my initial reaction was that like
maybe your mom's not a rude bitch to you all the time and you just are like going into this with a
negative attitude yeah it's like one of those things where like your parents go to school and
they're like all right I left like uh I left some whatever by your uh I left uh I'll give you your
lunch you left a book at home and then everyone thinks it's fine and then you're like uh Jesus mom

freaking talk to me at school you're the ugliest weirdest mom and everyone makes fun of me now

fucking shit out of me I love you you're the best you are a queen princess god devil worshiping
bitch and I love it you are a beast what do you mean you're a motherfucking beast there was one
thing you said that's devil worshiping yeah yeah yeah I that honestly it's snuck in because I was
just trying to come up with as many adjectives as I could and and one time I caught my mom praying
to satan and I love you mommy you're the best you're the best that being said at one point I
did go into your room see you drawing black paint on the wall your eyes rolled back way to the back
of your head I could see your optic nerve creeping out from under your eyelids swearing yelling
sweating in Latin my mama performed an exorcism on me when I was three
it didn't give it didn't give you raised a little devil didn't you mommy you raised a little devil
and now it's my my purpose my my lot in life to spread that that curse I am a negative
cancer on society I'm bad to people and you raised me and supported me and you let me exist
in this world so even though you're a brilliant beautiful amazing woman you worship the devil
because the devil is me uh wow holy shit that was so real we all we often joke about things
becoming real but that got we finally arrived I feel empty reelsville usa that was so can we
actually give this kid advice what is there to do other than talk to his mother about uh
or keep your friends away from your mom it's not hard you just don't invite your friends over
yeah go to their house yeah go to their house that way you keep your friends away from your mom
the mom away from the stories and it keeps your mom from being such a real bee also just try to
try to come at this from the place of appreciation for your mom because I bet a lot of your other
friends don't have like awesome parents like you they get along with them so just like embrace it
treat your mom like you would one of your buddies and it's kind of cool you might have like a nice
casual fun relationship with your mom like I have with my mom I love you mom you're the best mom in
the whole world all right that's it I love my mom I've already kissed her goodbye the the question
is over I love her I think it's time for it's time for a break a break we need to take a little
respite yes yes we have live shows coming up but you know we always talk about that
I thought it would be fun to talk read this email that we got after the Dave Rosenberg episode aired
oh Dave was such a hit such a hero such a cool on our show that emails to our account started
flooding in and this one is probably the best one we've ever gotten I thought it'd be fun to read it
pray tell it's called Dave Rosenberg story it's so enticing hey guys I just listened to the Howdy
episode with Dave Rosenberg and I thought I'd tell you a quick story about him that I think
illustrates one instance of his game pretty well basically after your show in Philly my friend and
I ran into Amir and Dave on the street although both of you guys in Streeter had a cold Dave wanted
to come meet us out at a bar after hanging at our favorite outdoor patio bar with Dave for a bit
learning more about my favorite website college humor Dave and I went inside to look for some girls
approaching girls at a bar is one of my least favorite things to do so I was glad Dave took
the lead and this is what he did first off he took off his hat so all the chicks could admire his
flow secondly as we were on the side of the bar scoping the scene he catches the eye of a girl by
the bar who is doing some dancing no words necessary he kind of imitates her moves in a funny way
and next thing I know the two are grinding up on each other tongues down throat at this point
I'm pumped Dave is getting it on but I don't want to just stand there awkwardly while he dances
with some girl however as I start walking away Dave waves me back over and we talk to this girl
and her friends for a bit as the bar starts to close 10 minutes later I get one of the girls
numbers and end my night to head home I think Dave took the dancing girl back to his hotel
but I'm really curious how that story ended up did he lick the full trail to her belly button
as for me I ended up having a steady hookup for the next few months with the hottest girl I've
ever been with all thanks to Dave hero illuminati illuminati he did he he won the game if there is
such a thing as the game he came over danced with a girl without speaking to her made out with her
and just as the kid is like oh man I'll never be as cool as Dave he like goes to walk away and Dave's
like no you know what tonight's about bros too he'll come back we hang out with her friends
and uh this guy ends up hooking up with her friends for several months to come
Dave goes home by the way this guy was wearing a seize the cheese t-shirt yeah but he was
fucking jacked so but I mean that's maybe one of the first people to like get a girl's number
while in a seize the seize the cheese shirt a seize the tease uh yes uh so that's a great Dave
Rosenberg story that's amazing also we can verify that he fucked that girl yeah hotel and woke up at
8 30 a.m. and got a cheese steak so Dave ate so poorly on that tour I never saw him in the morning
without either a cheese steak or a mcdonald's cheeseburger this is always before 10 a.m. yeah eating
a big mac he went off menu a lot of this stuff isn't even offered yet but he's so tall and handsome
that he got it done I'm really excited to go we're going back on tour with Dave yes he had April
26 7th and 8th I think or is it 24th 5th and 6th 24th 5th and 6th because it's Saturday off I'm bad
at this yeah but we're going to be in Seattle Portland and then San Francisco and we're going to
be with Dave so come to the shows we're not for us than for him for real for real if you don't know
where the shows are yet I'm sure you'll be inundated with information all over our website as soon as
we get it but uh I don't know if anything has been officially announced or released or anything
like that uh so stay tuned for that stay tuned for more great Dave Rosenberg story we should also
record a podcast maybe like once or twice with Dave on the road yeah it'd be great um where more
stories will be had um do you want to read or let me read one my last question all right it's
actually oddly in the same vein as your last question interesting so it kind of worked out that way
um
I need a I need a I need a I need a third eye blind third eye blind writes
my mom is really embarrassing on facebook every time I post something she comments at least once
and it's either a dumb joke or her over praising me and tagging my aunts and uncles which caused them
to come and leave equally embarrassing comments yesterday I posted a video of me solving a Rubik's
cube and after my mom left three paragraph long comments and later one of my school friends made
fun of her so I had to take it down before she could see it and get her feelings hurt she's sensitive
about that kind of thing how can I ask her to cool it on facebook without hurting her feelings I
still live with her and will until august thanks guys sorry if this sounds like a douchey teenager
that irrationally hates his mom which the first one did but this guy sounds like a little bit
more legit I feel like the solution though is to just not post on facebook yeah but that's hard
to do if you want to post a video where's he's supposed to put his video of his rubik's cube
you just don't can you disable comments I don't think so you can delete comments you could delete
your mom's comments yeah but that's that's basically going behind your back and deleting comments
could you unfriend her oh that would also hurt her feelings you know what you can do is blame it
on your friends be like mom my friends are like being such assholes every time you comment something
amazing and cool like that's like but then she'll hate then she'll hate the friends like oh you're
right they suck it's just me and you never have them over ever uh but isn't it better for her to
hate the friends than for her to hate his her own son I feel like you just got to be upfront
she's like mom I love you I love that you comment and you're so supportive but like um we you need
to just like tone it back a little bit just a little bit leave one paragraph long comment yeah
that's all you need you know yeah they're not multiple paragraphs right this happens to a lot
of people I know we're like the mom just not necessarily paragraph long but like they'll
like every single thing yeah comment on every single thing and I think it's as embarrassed I
think it's like it's not actually embarrassing I think if I went to somebody's profile and like
there was three comments from their mom I would make fun of them right but is it actually embarrassing
or you just like having fun actually embarrassing you think it's embarrassing for the like the
kid should be ashamed of himself I don't think the kid should be ashamed of himself but I think
it's like I do find it hilarious right yeah it's funny nobody wants to be the butt of jokes if I'm
like oh your mom commented five times on your facebook status you'd be like shut up yeah so I
think you have to just be like mom like one comment max that's a good rule or just like it or message me
about it tough love yeah you just got to you just got to be upfront it will hurt your feelings but
like ultimately you guys will have a better relationship because you will resent each other
yeah that's nice advice or like you do what I do and I just troll my mom's facebook wall
I comment on her wall all the time she's she gets annoyed by me on facebook yeah you like would post
like you just write a message on her wall out of the blue being like hey who do you love the most me
or mica who's your favorite son that's and then you'll reply to that comment be like hey still no
word from mommy about this issue I'm starting to think it's mica yeah and then you'll reply to that
comment and then I tag my sisters in it yeah you guys can you guys believe this are you believing
what you're not reading yeah um that's funny troll her troll her wall in response see how she likes
it perfect take that mom forget you mother uh all right that was a very special mom themed uh
