                                        The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed.
                                         
                                        Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it.
                                         
                                        Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mention only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening.
                                         
                                        What's up, you cool baby?
                                         
                                        If you change your mind, on the first in line, honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me.
                                         
                                        If you need me, let me know, gonna be around, if you've got no place to go when you're feeling down.
                                         
                                        If you're all alone, when the pretty birds have flown on yesterday,
                                         
                                        take a lot like the wisdom right here on this show.
                                         
    
                                        Keep it going.
                                         
                                        Take a look at the...
                                         
                                        Get it, come on.
                                         
                                        Say something about Holly.
                                         
                                        No, it's not a... take a look.
                                         
                                        Five and ten.
                                         
                                        But it's a parody I'm writing.
                                         
                                        I'm writing a parody, so give me five and ten.
                                         
    
                                        You are listening once again.
                                         
                                        And it is not a sin.
                                         
                                        And if you ask, then you are sure to know.
                                         
                                        It's beginning to look a lot like wisdom here on My Brother, My Brother and Me.
                                         
                                        It's an advice show for the modern era.
                                         
                                        I am your oldest brother, Justin McElroy.
                                         
                                        I'm the middle brother, Travis McElroy.
                                         
                                        And it's your boy, Griffin.
                                         
    
                                        Hey, would you guys say...
                                         
                                        You asshole.
                                         
                                        Are we on that Christmas creep?
                                         
                                        Holiday, we're on the holiday creep.
                                         
                                        Am I the only one who thinks Christmas creep sounds like a hip-hop dance move
                                         
                                        that's taking the ducky or the orange soda?
                                         
                                        By the way, get on YouTube and search for the Kel Mitchell orange soda dance.
                                         
                                        He's back and he's invented an actual dance, I'm not making that up.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, except why he's back.
                                         
                                        The video is from 2008.
                                         
                                        He's definitely on his way back.
                                         
                                        He started a slow climb.
                                         
                                        It's a Christmas creep to the top.
                                         
                                        It's a Christmas creep.
                                         
                                        Can we write...
                                         
                                        Is it too late to capitalize on that?
                                         
    
                                        On the Christmas creep?
                                         
                                        First you jingle your bell.
                                         
                                        I'm on that Christmas creep.
                                         
                                        As long as we can still do my B-side of Hanukkah hustle.
                                         
                                        Do the hustle.
                                         
                                        First you jingle your bells.
                                         
                                        Then you missile your toes.
                                         
                                        There's got to be something else.
                                         
    
                                        We'll finish...
                                         
                                        This is something that really should be saved for my melody.
                                         
                                        My melody and me are improvisational songwriting show.
                                         
                                        So let's get right into the questions.
                                         
                                        We take your questions into us through email, Gmail, Tremail.
                                         
                                        This first one comes to us from Gmail.
                                         
                                        I recently met a Canadian girl on Omegle,
                                         
                                        and I've begun an online relationship.
                                         
    
                                        My friend told me there are no real girls on the internet.
                                         
                                        Is this true?
                                         
                                        If so, should I still pursue a relationship
                                         
                                        with someone who might be a dude?
                                         
                                        Those are two completely different questions.
                                         
                                        Confused and Connecticut.
                                         
                                        First off, let's start with the obvious question.
                                         
                                        Are there real girls on the internet?
                                         
    
                                        The answer is of course no.
                                         
                                        Nope.
                                         
                                        Not a one.
                                         
                                        Also there are no real girls in Canada.
                                         
                                        I was going to say in the world,
                                         
                                        I'm thinking we've all been duped.
                                         
                                        Oh my god.
                                         
                                        It's a pretty massive cover up.
                                         
    
                                        Is it all holograms?
                                         
                                        It's pretty much 100% holograms.
                                         
                                        Hologals?
                                         
                                        Is that closer where we're at?
                                         
                                        This is a terrible situation you find yourself in
                                         
                                        because Omegle, for those who aren't familiar,
                                         
                                        is an anonymous chat service, right?
                                         
                                        That hooks you up with a random person
                                         
    
                                        with no verification of their age, sex, location, anything.
                                         
                                        That you could be at the butt
                                         
                                        of a really brutal, long-lasting,
                                         
                                        hilarious to everyone but you, Prank.
                                         
                                        The longest con.
                                         
                                        They say love is the longest con.
                                         
                                        I think Omegle love is slightly longer than that.
                                         
                                        I'm going to straight up,
                                         
    
                                        I think it's time for a little tough love.
                                         
                                        My brother and my brother and me style.
                                         
                                        What kind of life are you living
                                         
                                        that you start an online relationship
                                         
                                        with someone on Omegle?
                                         
                                        I can literally think of no worse place
                                         
                                        to start any kind of relationship,
                                         
                                        professional, romantic or otherwise.
                                         
    
                                        That would be like suicide.
                                         
                                        It's like saying I met the nicest guy on chat roulette.
                                         
                                        He was wanking his dong.
                                         
                                        That's not a combination of those words.
                                         
                                        I know you're going for it individually,
                                         
                                        but combined I don't think that's it.
                                         
                                        I don't like that one bit.
                                         
                                        That's not a combination that works.
                                         
    
                                        I'm almost certain it is.
                                         
                                        He workshopped it, take it out.
                                         
                                        Basically what you just said was he was masturbating his penis,
                                         
                                        which is redundant.
                                         
                                        Yeah, here's how we're going to turn this into a W.
                                         
                                        You're going to say you're going to meet up with this person
                                         
                                        and then you're going to say,
                                         
                                        listen, I'm too cool to meet someone I met on Omegle.
                                         
    
                                        Never talk to me again.
                                         
                                        And then just like block them from your life.
                                         
                                        You'll feel good about it.
                                         
                                        Who cares? They're anonymous.
                                         
                                        You didn't know them before.
                                         
                                        You can go back to not knowing them now.
                                         
                                        And you just bail on this.
                                         
                                        You've got to pull the old eject and get out.
                                         
    
                                        Trust me.
                                         
                                        You have a little to no investment in this.
                                         
                                        This is imaginary.
                                         
                                        This is not real.
                                         
                                        This is true love.
                                         
                                        Shit.
                                         
                                        You know how vulnerable I am to the possibility of true love.
                                         
                                        I know.
                                         
    
                                        And it can spring up in the weirdest of places.
                                         
                                        And make no mistake.
                                         
                                        This is the weirdest place.
                                         
                                        The literal weirdest place on the planet.
                                         
                                        I mean, maybe it's just too lonely souls.
                                         
                                        Because that's all that's on Omegle.
                                         
                                        And maybe they just found each other
                                         
                                        and just connected on some deep spiritual level.
                                         
    
                                        If that's the case, then you don't need to be worried
                                         
                                        about whether or not it's a dude.
                                         
                                        Here's my counter argument to that.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        There is no possible way,
                                         
                                        like in my opinion,
                                         
                                        that you are meeting the honest to goodness person
                                         
                                        that they are on Omegle.
                                         
    
                                        Because there's no way to go on and go.
                                         
                                        And I snore.
                                         
                                        And I also, like, there's no way
                                         
                                        because nobody does that.
                                         
                                        Well, nobody does that anyway in the world.
                                         
                                        Yeah.
                                         
                                        I know the person and like, you know,
                                         
                                        it's not like I met you.
                                         
    
                                        I've never seen your face.
                                         
                                        I've never spoken to you about anything that's, you know, real.
                                         
                                        And I love you.
                                         
                                        That's not how that works.
                                         
                                        I don't think that he's not saying let's get hit.
                                         
                                        She's saying, should I pursue?
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
    
                                        Here's what we do.
                                         
                                        We're going to ratchet this up in ways
                                         
                                        that increase the real world intimacy of this relationship.
                                         
                                        First, you're going to call on the phone.
                                         
                                        If we're pursuing this.
                                         
                                        Two, we are chatting on Skype.
                                         
                                        Nice.
                                         
                                        And making sure no one's doing a ventriloquist nonsense.
                                         
    
                                        We got to see the real, the real

                                        a situation.

                                        about cats and dogs style dup.
                                         
                                        You want to know that the correct voice is coming out
                                         
    
                                        of the correct lady.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        Okay.
                                         
                                        Nice try, Janine.
                                         
                                        Nice try, Janine.
                                         
                                        And I think another concern here
                                         
                                        is, you know, that idea, oh, it turned out to be a dude
                                         
                                        and we were sex chatting and whatnot.
                                         
    
                                        Don't do that.
                                         
                                        Like you haven't met this person.
                                         
                                        You shouldn't be sex chatting or whatever it is you kids do.
                                         
                                        You may very well be.
                                         
                                        There may, there's probably a blog somewhere
                                         
                                        that says, look at the freaky stuff.
                                         
                                        I can get this guy to say at Omegle.
                                         
                                        Oh my God, I read that blog.
                                         
    
                                        Yeah, yeah, it's that one.
                                         
                                        The really funny one.
                                         
                                        I love that one with the little illustrations.
                                         
                                        I love it.
                                         
                                        So, so hopefully that'll help.
                                         
                                        You just got to don't bail on it, but do
                                         
                                        you want some real world connections here?
                                         
                                        You want phone calls?
                                         
    
                                        You want video chat?
                                         
                                        You want to really see this person and
                                         
                                        because you can't build a relationship with chatting
                                         
                                        anymore until we can
                                         
                                        until we can verify that this person is
                                         
                                        and there's so much in like that intonation
                                         
                                        of speech and in how you're
                                         
                                        just chemistry, if it's there
                                         
    
                                        I say you got to go phone.
                                         
                                        But you got to be safe.
                                         
                                        Don't meet them anywhere.
                                         
                                        You have brewed up a murder cocktail
                                         
                                        here that you do not want to be sipping on.
                                         
                                        It's anonymous.
                                         
                                        That's scary.
                                         
                                        100% of murders are anonymous.
                                         
    
                                        None of your friends have ever met her.
                                         
                                        So there's no identifying her later.
                                         
                                        That's scary.
                                         
                                        That's very scary.
                                         
                                        OK.
                                         
                                        I feel like we should move on.
                                         
                                        I have hooked up with one of my closest
                                         
                                        friends a couple of times
                                         
    
                                        and he tells me he enjoyed those times
                                         
                                        but he wants to keep our hookups a secret
                                         
                                        from everyone.
                                         
                                        Why doesn't he want to tell anyone?
                                         
                                        Because you're ugly.
                                         
                                        Wow.
                                         
                                        I'm just kidding.
                                         
                                        You also might be annoying.
                                         
    
                                        Maybe you're terrible.
                                         
                                        Thanks for listening.
                                         
                                        We enjoy your patronage.
                                         
                                        No, no, no.
                                         
                                        He doesn't want things to get weird.
                                         
                                        You've got a group of friends, two people
                                         
                                        hook up and it's going to be a weird scene.
                                         
                                        Also,
                                         
    
                                        there's another option that's not insulting
                                         
                                        to you.
                                         
                                        He might be terrible.
                                         
                                        He might be
                                         
                                        wheezing the juice.
                                         
                                        Why wouldn't you want everybody to know
                                         
                                        that you're dating someone or
                                         
                                        making love to someone less terrible
                                         
    
                                        than you?
                                         
                                        Because he might be a sleazeball
                                         
                                        and so he might be like,
                                         
                                        no, I really like you.
                                         
                                        But don't tell anyone you should just sleep
                                         
                                        with me and then not tell anyone.
                                         
                                        Oh, oh, oh, oh.
                                         
                                        He's trying to get the proverbial
                                         
    
                                        sex milk without
                                         
                                        having a relationship cow.
                                         
                                        That's exactly what it is.
                                         
                                        No metaphors either.
                                         
                                        I can never drink milk again.
                                         
                                        What you need to do
                                         
                                        you need to confront him.
                                         
                                        You need to be like, why are you keeping this?
                                         
    
                                        No, I'm not saying you need to tell everyone.
                                         
                                        You need to ask him why he wants to keep it a secret.
                                         
                                        You need to be like,
                                         
                                        so what's shaking Kevin Bacon?
                                         
                                        Why aren't we, you know, letting
                                         
                                        everyone know?
                                         
                                        Yeah. Well, OK.
                                         
                                        Here's the thing that is very logical to me
                                         
    
                                        about this question. He wants to keep our hookups
                                         
                                        a secret from everyone. OK.
                                         
                                        That's that's to me is a very logical
                                         
                                        like because it should be a secret.
                                         
                                        It is. You don't hear that shit out.
                                         
                                        It's a secret.
                                         
                                        It's a secret you have in this day
                                         
                                        and age. That's a treasure.
                                         
    
                                        Something that you know other people don't
                                         
                                        that you can keep private. Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                        It's awesome. What a wonderful gift that is.
                                         
                                        But that's not even it.
                                         
                                        It's not just the beauty
                                         
                                        of secrets.
                                         
                                        It's if you

                                        Here's the name of the person that
                                         
                                        I did it with.
                                         
                                        You can't. You don't do that because it's
                                         
                                        Facebook.
                                         
                                        It's just not gentlemanly.
                                         
                                        It's not ladylike either. It's not what
                                         
    
                                        people do. Like, I don't understand why
                                         
                                        this person's upset. Do they want them to be
                                         
                                        like, hey, what's up? We fuck.
                                         
                                        Hey, do you hear about me and Jerry?
                                         
                                        We fuck.

                                        It sounds like to me like there's
                                         
                                        like maybe
                                         
    
                                        you want more than he does.
                                         
                                        That's what this question is really about, isn't it?
                                         
                                        Yeah. That's what this question is really
                                         
                                        about. You want to take it to the next level
                                         
                                        and he wants to keep it a secret
                                         
                                        uncomplicated. Again,
                                         
                                        makes total sense, but if you
                                         
                                        I will warn you of this,
                                         
    
                                        you do need to ask him
                                         
                                        if you're interested in a relationship.
                                         
                                        You need to ask
                                         
                                        because it sounds to me like
                                         
                                        you do
                                         
                                        care a little bit more than you're letting on.
                                         
                                        And you can't let your heart get busted up
                                         
                                        hooking up with this guy continually
                                         
    
                                        if there's not going to be any relationship there.
                                         
                                        Can you agree with that, Griffin?
                                         
                                        Can you agree with that? I wasn't listening.
                                         
                                        I have a yahoo answer question.
                                         
                                        I was like in the middle of the wisdom.
                                         
                                        I got into a real nugget of this and you're like
                                         
                                        moving on. Did you get it? Sorry.
                                         
                                        It's a busy day.
                                         
    
                                        I'm on that Christmas crawl.
                                         
                                        I'm going to set you on fire.
                                         
                                        What are you doing, Travis?
                                         
                                        Are you listening to me? I have a good sequitur.

                                        You're leaving this question.
                                         
                                        Do you feel like you've answered it or can you not say?
                                         
                                        What if I just told that person a murder suicide?
                                         
    
                                        Let it simmer. Professional advice.
                                         
                                        Just let it chill.
                                         
                                        Let it simmer.
                                         
                                        That's the opposite of what I just said.
                                         
                                        I basically
                                         
                                        just took what you said.
                                         
                                        I'm just going to stay back here.
                                         
                                        I've boiled it down to a
                                         
    
                                        rich syrup. The opposite.
                                         
                                        It's like you melted down the chocolate
                                         
                                        and made lava.
                                         
                                        There's no connection between the two ideas.

                                        OhNo asks,
                                         
                                        Are females attracted to the penis?
                                         
                                        Just as males are attracted to female breast
                                         
                                        and butt.
                                         
                                        When a man sees female boobs and butt,
                                         
                                        they go boing, lol, I am immature.
                                         
                                        Is it the same thing
                                         
    
                                        when a woman sees a male penis
                                         
                                        or are they like
                                         
                                        ew?
                                         
                                        It's like ew.
                                         
                                        It's lady bone zone.
                                         
                                        I can't believe
                                         
                                        that's a thing.
                                         
                                        I can't believe that's a thing, Travis.
                                         
    
                                        I can't believe that a lady sees a boner
                                         
                                        and goes mmhmm, yes please.
                                         
                                        Not a boner, just a penis.
                                         
                                        A flaccid.
                                         
                                        Just a flaccid, dangly penis.
                                         
                                        I don't think the reaction
                                         
                                        could possibly be, oh yes.
                                         
                                        I think
                                         
    
                                        I'm not a lady.
                                         
                                        If I had to guess, I would imagine the reaction
                                         
                                        of something more akin to, well, here we are.
                                         
                                        Well,
                                         
                                        we need those to make more life.
                                         
                                        Oh, you again.
                                         
                                        Of course.
                                         
                                        I can barely look,
                                         
    
                                        my shower hanging brain.
                                         
                                        I can barely observe my own thing.
                                         
                                        Right.
                                         
                                        Without getting a little sick.
                                         
                                        I can't see my own without a
                                         
                                        complicated network of mirrors
                                         
                                        and volunteers.
                                         
                                        I have someone come in
                                         
    
                                        and describe it to me every day.

                                        come in and sketch it.
                                         
                                        We have to be on a boat though,
                                         
                                        or I can't finish it.

                                        I wish Morgan Freeman would give my penis
                                         
    
                                        the power to control the world around it.
                                         
                                        Yes.
                                         
                                        And teach me a valuable lesson in the process.
                                         
                                        I feel like we're dodging the question.
                                         
                                        I think women's reaction is probably
                                         
                                        like when they're looking at a bunch of
                                         
                                        ingredients before it's time to cook
                                         
                                        something.
                                         
    
                                        Everyone likes to eat cake
                                         
                                        but there's nothing necessarily appetizing
                                         
                                        about eggs and flour.
                                         
                                        I get what you're saying.
                                         
                                        What?
                                         
                                        There's a logic to it, right?
                                         
                                        There is some logic to it,
                                         
                                        but in the context of the question,
                                         
    
                                        you're making it sound like women are turned on
                                         
                                        by baking.
                                         
                                        Of course.
                                         
                                        The interesting thing about this question
                                         
                                        is of course that with men
                                         
                                        who are into large breasts,
                                         
                                        the larger they get,
                                         
                                        the better. With women there's very
                                         
    
                                        differently.
                                         
                                        There's a bell chart.
                                         
                                        There's a bell chart of interest
                                         
                                        and it peaks and then it goes
                                         
                                        like wow, it plummets
                                         
                                        pretty quickly.
                                         
                                        Thank God for that.
                                         
                                        I think this question is
                                         
    
                                        illustrative of the fact that

                                        seems to be the situation that you are
                                         
    
                                        describing,
                                         
                                        that is not a part of my body
                                         
                                        I have ever worked on
                                         
                                        to improve, knowingly at least.
                                         
                                        I feel like
                                         
                                        we're in one of those moods where we're
                                         
                                        anti-helpful. We're making
                                         
                                        all these situations worse. So let's do another one.
                                         
    
                                        I'm an atheist
                                         
                                        and I haven't done, don't feel like
                                         
                                        telling my family. How do I politely
                                         
                                        get out of going to Christmas Mass without them asking
                                         
                                        too many questions? Form spring.
                                         
                                        Wow, this is a good question.
                                         
                                        I have my answer which is
                                         
                                        you go to Christmas Mass.
                                         
    
                                        Because it ain't about you. It's about your family.
                                         
                                        Yeah, that's kind of true.
                                         
                                        I totally get
                                         
                                        where you're coming from. I get the whole
                                         
                                        like you're not feeling it
                                         
                                        so you
                                         
                                        don't want to go.
                                         
                                        But it really is
                                         
    
                                        it's like an hour and
                                         
                                        you're going for your family so they can feel
                                         
                                        like that togetherness. And also
                                         
                                        there's a lot to, even if you're an atheist
                                         
                                        there's a lot to like in
                                         
                                        the ceremony, the tradition.
                                         
                                        Sure.
                                         
                                        You know there's usually some
                                         
    
                                        incense. That's nice. Shell.
                                         
                                        Some pretty music. I mean there's nothing
                                         
                                        that says that an atheist can't go to
                                         
                                        church. Yeah, you're not going to burst into flames
                                         
                                        as soon as you cross the threshold of the building.
                                         
                                        You're not voting either.
                                         
                                        It's not like I'm for it. I'm for what's
                                         
                                        happening. You're just there
                                         
    
                                        to in respect for your family.
                                         
                                        You would go to a
                                         
                                        church if a friend were getting married.
                                         
                                        I would think of this the same way.
                                         
                                        Why would we really knock that one out of the park?
                                         
                                        Finally, some
                                         
                                        actual help. Should we, I think, should we
                                         
                                        should we talk about our Christmas?
                                         
    
                                        We're going to call it our holiday
                                         
                                        holiday. No, fuck that.
                                         
                                        You can't kill my Christmas. I'll take
                                         
                                        questions. I'll take Hanukah queries.
                                         
                                        I'll be the Hanukah query guy.
                                         
                                        So we're
                                         
                                        going to do a holiday. Can we call it
                                         
                                        can we call it ha ha ha ha ha

                                        because
                                         
                                        we're going to, we're going to make it funny.
                                         
                                        I'm sure we'll have a wonderful name for it
                                         
                                        by the time it rolls around, but we're going to be doing that

                                        and we will address those. I'd also
                                         
                                        like to hear about, even if we don't
                                         
                                        end up using these, I'd like to
                                         
                                        have people write in about their traditions
                                         
                                        and ask us if they're weird
                                         
                                        or not. Oh, I like that.
                                         
                                        It's sort of in the advice realm.
                                         
                                        We usually ask that people
                                         
    
                                        don't ask about poop and masturbation
                                         
                                        and I think for this
                                         
                                        our holiday special
                                         
                                        we can repeal that. No, I mean
                                         
                                        we need to extra don't
                                         
                                        do it. Double do not do it.
                                         
                                        I want this to be an episode where
                                         
                                        when you travel to your family's home
                                         
    
                                        to your home's
                                         
                                        place, your ancestral home
                                         
                                        you can say here let's gather
                                         
                                        around the fire and enjoy this together.
                                         
                                        I like that and maybe when I edit the show
                                         
                                        I can edit out all the curse words.
                                         
                                        With jingle bell sounds. And then add in
                                         
                                        different curse words. So I can be like
                                         
    
                                        fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck,
                                         
                                        fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
                                         
                                        and all you'll hear is jingle bells and it'll
                                         
                                        make a song. Unless you forget
                                         
                                        and it'll be like
                                         
                                        sorry grandpa. The best episode.
                                         
                                        Yeah, so make sure
                                         
                                        you get those questions in.
                                         
    
                                        I currently have a
                                         
                                        boyfriend shaped hole in my life that I'm trying to fix.
                                         
                                        For pretty much my entire
                                         
                                        dating life I've jumped from long-term
                                         
                                        relationship to long-term relationship with whatever
                                         
                                        best guy friend I had at the time and consequently
                                         
                                        I've never really dated or hooked up
                                         
                                        with anyone. I'm 20 right now and
                                         
    
                                        I think the last time I was really single was when I was 14.
                                         
                                        My friends have been telling me I need
                                         
                                        to go crazy and get down with some random dudes
                                         
                                        which sounds intriguing.
                                         
                                        But I miss the reliability of having a relationship.
                                         
                                        What should I do in BNBAM?
                                         
                                        Love on always, alone and indecisive.
                                         
                                        Gmail. Oh, well.
                                         
    
                                        Your friends
                                         
                                        sound like they give terrible advice.
                                         
                                        I don't trust your friends. Do they have a show?
                                         
                                        I didn't think so. No.
                                         
                                        I don't think that that's
                                         
                                        the going crazy with a bunch of random dudes
                                         
                                        I don't I don't see that
                                         
                                        there's like it's a big risk
                                         
    
                                        and you risk
                                         
                                        I don't know hurting somebody or
                                         
                                        getting hurt yourself and
                                         
                                        it's never a good advice and with stuff like that
                                         
                                        I like to take it and try to apply it to different
                                         
                                        situations and being like

                                        we have all done this thing
                                         
                                        where we get out of a long-term relationship
                                         
    
                                        or at least I God knows I have like
                                         
                                        I got out of a long-term relationship
                                         
                                        and then all of a sudden you know
                                         
                                        I my eyes were opened and I
                                         
                                        I went crazy as you said
                                         
                                        and I think that
                                         
                                        and got down with random dudes got down
                                         
                                        with just so many random dudes and I think
                                         
    
                                        the reason the three of us are saying it's a bad idea
                                         
                                        is because we did it and we know it's a bad idea
                                         
                                        and I think that may just be something
                                         
                                        you have to do I think you may just have to
                                         
                                        have the bad idea
                                         
                                        part of your life I think you need
                                         
                                        to have that I think that's important well
                                         
                                        okay well let's compromise if you do
                                         
    
                                        do that that's fine but don't set out
                                         
                                        to do that because your friends told
                                         
                                        you to like that's what
                                         
                                        happens that's cool
                                         
                                        I think that that's the better I think
                                         
                                        maybe a way to sort of
                                         
                                        a way to sort of put this in perspective
                                         
                                        something that would be applicable to you
                                         
    
                                        is be more
                                         
                                        cautious of entering
                                         
                                        into long-term relationships
                                         
                                        like rather than setting out to do that
                                         
                                        give yourself permission
                                         
                                        to get out of relationships if they're not working
                                         
                                        and I mean early I mean like

                                        dates I think that that's something else that
                                         
                                        that maybe your friends are getting around to

                                        I like the Gabe Kaplan
                                         
                                        which is a bunch of curly on top
                                         
                                        and then a row of straight right underneath it
                                         
                                        I like that
                                         
                                        I think that's a real good look
                                         
                                        I like the top too if you have time to diet
                                         
    
                                        I like the high top fade with some
                                         
                                        racing stripes on the side and your basketball
                                         
                                        number in the back
                                         
                                        how about the Joanie loves cha chi
                                         
                                        where basically you give your penis side burns
                                         
                                        and then like a pump
                                         
                                        like a little pompadour up on top
                                         
                                        all these are good
                                         
    
                                        also spray tan your penis
                                         
                                        that's an important step for that one
                                         
                                        adjust your penis
                                         
                                        you could try the twilight is very popular
                                         
                                        that's where you put a bunch of glitter down there
                                         
                                        and
                                         
                                        when you hit the sunlight and I am assuming

                                        carved into the side and then

                                        damn it
                                         
                                        so I guess
                                         
                                        since Travis is disqualified the game is over
                                         
                                        and who won all of us
                                         
                                        except anyone who does
                                         
                                        any of the things we just said to do
                                         
                                        they are the loser
                                         
    
                                        I'm having so trouble
                                         
                                        staying awake at work
                                         
                                        my job begins at 7am
                                         
                                        I have to wake up at least 5.15
                                         
                                        because I take a bus and a train to work
                                         
                                        the bus and train trips are short enough
                                         
                                        that I cannot sleep on them
                                         
                                        I usually go to sleep by 10pm
                                         
    
                                        no drugs or coffee please
                                         
                                        help me in BNBAM

                                        does he deserve I mean if you're going to shut us down
                                         
                                        like from the get
                                         
                                        by saying no drugs or coffee
                                         
                                        I don't think he deserves
                                         
    
                                        or if you're not going to open your mind
                                         
                                        to the two best options
                                         
                                        because if you won't
                                         
                                        if you won't do drugs
                                         
                                        or coffee
                                         
                                        I mean
                                         
                                        you've got to carve out some nap time
                                         
                                        you've got to get better at falling asleep
                                         
    
                                        on the train
                                         
                                        don't do that because you'll get
                                         
                                        you'll wake up with your shirt
                                         
                                        you have to learn to hover
                                         
                                        right above that falling asleep point
                                         
                                        right before you pass out
                                         
                                        and so you get the rest
                                         
                                        but you don't miss your stop
                                         
    
                                        you're on that inception tip
                                         
                                        that's exactly what it is
                                         
                                        is it maybe
                                         
                                        he says no drugs or coffee
                                         
                                        do you think that it's a
                                         
                                        mutually exclusive thing
                                         
                                        if you think if we suggested drugs AND coffee
                                         
                                        oh that's cool
                                         
    
                                        because sometimes I'll take
                                         
                                        a few nice
                                         
                                        meth crystals
                                         
                                        none of that foggy shit
                                         
                                        just pure glass
                                         
                                        and I'll crack that up and toss it in my folders instant mix
                                         
                                        and that'll usually
                                         
                                        keep me up for about three or four
                                         
    
                                        days until my teeth stop
                                         
                                        bitching
                                         
                                        the problem is
                                         
                                        your job starts way too early
                                         
                                        and so by the time
                                         
                                        by the time you hit
                                         
                                        noon
                                         
                                        you've only been to work for five hours
                                         
    
                                        but you've been up for seven
                                         
                                        and you only slept for seven
                                         
                                        the night before so you're using up your sleepy time
                                         
                                        you need a nuclear path
                                         
                                        but that's the thing
                                         
                                        he can take a nap after work
                                         
                                        but by that point it's too late
                                         
                                        he's tired at work
                                         
    
                                        the thing is
                                         
                                        you need to decide
                                         
                                        you need to have a lifestyle change
                                         
                                        you can either take naps all the time
                                         
                                        which would just depress you
                                         
                                        you could change your career
                                         
                                        which you probably don't want to do because
                                         
                                        any job I found starts at 7am
                                         
    
                                        is usually something you had to work really hard to get
                                         
                                        in the first place
                                         
                                        or you could just get down on that meth espresso
                                         
                                        that seems like
                                         
                                        the easiest option is to just chuck some meth espresso
                                         
                                        every morning except on the weekends
                                         
                                        because if you do it every day
                                         
                                        you will die
                                         
    
                                        the good news is
                                         
                                        and I can tell you this from personal experience
                                         
                                        eventually your biological clock
                                         
                                        will balance out
                                         
                                        and you won't be sleepy at that point
                                         
                                        you'll be going to bed at 8.30 at night
                                         
                                        but your body will get used to
                                         
                                        waking up at 5.15
                                         
    
                                        now if you've been doing this already
                                         
                                        for two years and you still can't stay up
                                         
                                        and I have bad news
                                         
                                        this isn't the job for you
                                         
                                        because your body is not going to balance out
                                         
                                        it doesn't agree with you
                                         
                                        what do you do
                                         
                                        at a party where you only know
                                         
    
                                        one person
                                         
                                        leave
                                         
                                        leave immediately
                                         
                                        say this party is fun
                                         
                                        for everyone but me
                                         
                                        cause that's worse than being at a party where you know zero people
                                         
                                        cause if you're at a party where you know zero people
                                         
                                        you can go get really drunk
                                         
    
                                        and make some friends
                                         
                                        and do some crazy shit
                                         
                                        if you know just one person you're either just going to hang around them
                                         
                                        and make a total boob out of yourself
                                         
                                        or
                                         
                                        you'll get drunk
                                         
                                        and
                                         
                                        then the friend will tell all your other friends
                                         
    
                                        what a boob you are
                                         
                                        it's a lose lose
                                         
                                        this is one of those situations where
                                         
                                        if you're a really super outgoing person
                                         
                                        this is your chance to make friends
                                         
                                        if you're not
                                         
                                        this is the time to go home
                                         
                                        yeah you got it
                                         
    
                                        the odds at least have to be in your favor
                                         
                                        you at least have to have a majority
                                         
                                        and then meet new people that way
                                         
                                        but this is not a good scene for you
                                         
                                        if you don't already know the answer to it
                                         
                                        then you shouldn't be in it
                                         
                                        I know I would be like
                                         
                                        if you didn't have
                                         
    
                                        if the ratio wasn't
                                         
                                        75% people
                                         
                                        you know at a party
                                         
                                        you would take right off
                                         
                                        who's you just me
                                         
                                        this is a chance
                                         
                                        that you need to be preemptive in this
                                         
                                        and when your friends like hey let's go to a party
                                         
    
                                        and when you're like who am I going to know there
                                         
                                        and they're like me
                                         
                                        don't go to that party
                                         
                                        I mean everybody does that
                                         
                                        totally within your rights
                                         
                                        don't be yourself up about this
                                         
                                        give yourself a break
                                         
                                        this is one of those things where you always kind of feel rude
                                         
    
                                        asking the question who's going to be there
                                         
                                        but it's for situations like that
                                         
                                        so it's important that you say like
                                         
                                        not that I don't want to hang out with you
                                         
                                        but if that's the case why don't we just go
                                         
                                        somewhere else
                                         
                                        we'll go see a movie and I don't want to go to a party
                                         
                                        where I don't know anyone
                                         
    
                                        dear sweet mbm
                                         
                                        my bf says he wants to change
                                         
                                        and is thinking of dyeing his hair blue
                                         
                                        and then he said or maybe I'll get a tattoo
                                         
                                        I think both of that is so terrible
                                         
                                        I don't keep him doing anything silly
                                         
                                        but still satiate his need
                                         
                                        for change
                                         
    
                                        encourage him to dye his hair blue
                                         
                                        vs get a tattoo
                                         
                                        because at least that's not permanent
                                         
                                        yeah
                                         
                                        let me ask you this David
                                         
                                        I agree
                                         
                                        I understand where you're coming from
                                         
                                        but
                                         
    
                                        why is it
                                         
                                        so important to you that they not do this
                                         
                                        like don't you love your bf
                                         
                                        the way he is
                                         
                                        because I would think that if it's somebody you really care about
                                         
                                        then
                                         
                                        you want them to get
                                         
                                        if they want the ink if that's important to them
                                         
    
                                        to do that
                                         
                                        well let me
                                         
                                        let me counter argument that Justin
                                         
                                        if he says or maybe I'll get a tattoo
                                         
                                        it doesn't really sound like it's a super
                                         
                                        passionate thing
                                         
                                        yeah
                                         
                                        it sounds like your boyfriend
                                         
    
                                        is bored with something else
                                         
                                        maybe his job is boring
                                         
                                        or he's having family troubles
                                         
                                        or you know he's just been around his small town too much
                                         
                                        and so he's trying to
                                         
                                        you know strike out from
                                         
                                        other directions instead of dealing with the problem
                                         
                                        that he has
                                         
    
                                        so I think you need to talk to him and be like hey
                                         
                                        what do you really want to change because I guarantee
                                         
                                        it's not your hair or a tattoo
                                         
                                        that's a good, wow

                                        maybe he could take up a pipe
                                         
                                        that's the new jam right
                                         
    
                                        are you getting in front of that
                                         
                                        is that going to be like a 2011 thing
                                         
                                        let's do pipes, let's get pipes
                                         
                                        that's a big change
                                         
                                        and it's healthy
                                         
                                        and it makes you look awesome
                                         
                                        and it makes you look so cool
                                         
                                        if you do it right
                                         
    
                                        I love it

                                        I need something different

                                        and then when you return your familiarity
                                         
                                        will be a comfort

                                        I knew I'd listen to this show for some reason
                                         
                                        oh god
                                         
                                        I have a friend who has recently started dating
                                         
                                        a new girl
                                         
                                        the only weird thing is that her best friend is a boy
                                         
                                        who is gay
                                         
                                        none of us in the group have a problem with her
                                         
                                        or her gay friend whatsoever
                                         
    
                                        is the fact that our friend and her
                                         
                                        will sit in the living room
                                         
                                        and her gay friend will start to do weird things
                                         
                                        like rub her feet while they cuddle on the couch
                                         
                                        which makes us all ridiculously uncomfortable
                                         
                                        our friend has even told us that her gay friend
                                         
                                        snuggles with her in bed
                                         
                                        and when our friend is in bed at the same time
                                         
    
                                        oh yeah
                                         
                                        that would be weird if that's not how it worked out
                                         
                                        no no no this means it's
                                         
                                        gay friend girl
                                         
                                        her boyfriend
                                         
                                        okay

                                        the real mind boggling thing
                                         
    
                                        is that our friend doesn't think this is weird
                                         
                                        when it obviously is
                                         
                                        how do we possibly break the news to him
                                         
                                        that this is totally not normal
                                         
                                        without offending him and tell him
                                         
                                        his girlfriend is a weirdo for letting this continue
