Starting point is 00:10:21 Thank you. So I've been dating... It's a girl. Does Grandis work both ways yeah yeah all right krandeska yeah krandeska a girl named krandes writes what a weirdo so i've been dating this guy for about a year now and after finishing up at the local community college he left to go out to a four-year university i am a little than him, and I am about to graduate from college. Within one day of getting on campus, my boyfriend joined a fraternity. He has partied every day but one of the entire first week he's been there. I'm really glad he's getting college experience. It's just been pretty annoying for me to sit around while it's happening. Anyway, yesterday, I finally got a chance to talk to him, and I told him that a
Starting point is 00:11:04 bunch of my girlfriends and I were going frat hopping to celebrate our graduation from college. When I told him this, he got pissed off. He said that I shouldn't go to a fraternity party because it was beneath my dignity. Then he said that he was only okay with me going if he was there. This coming from a guy that goes to a frat party every night. Am I wrong to think this is messed up? I didn't even want to go that much until he said that, but now I feel like I should do it out of principle.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Love, Crandis. Crandiska. Crandiska. Oh, it's foreign. That's cool. I didn't realize she was hot. Read it again. Try to do it in Kranditska's voice.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Hola, Jake and Amir. I'm from Canada and I speak Spanish very well. Kranditska has a bit of a hypocrite of a boyfriend.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Yeah, he partied every day but one, but now she can't go because it's beneath her dignity, which I think is a phrase he coined. Beneath your dignity. which I think is a phrase he coined.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Beneath your dignity. Beneath my dignity. You're right. It is beneath my dignity. Where is your dignity? Yeah. Something's beneath it. My dignity's here. Yeah, so going to a frat party down there. Yeah, that's cool. That's fair. So what should she do? Should she go
Starting point is 00:12:21 out of spite? I feel like if you're doing anything out of spite, you're in a very bad relationship, right? But that being said, I think she she go out of spite? I feel like if you're doing anything out of spite, you're in a very bad relationship, right? But that being said, I think she should go out of spite. I guess she should just go if she wants to. And if she has a guy that's like, don't go to a frat party, it's beneath your dignity. You have to be like, you use bad English. So we're done.
Starting point is 00:12:42 But yeah, I think it's above my dignity. As long as we're making things up about dignity. I feel like she was annoyed even before this because she's like, he partied every day but one. The whole first paragraph was like me thinking that she was a little bit of an asshole. Like, he's having a good college experience, but I'm pretty annoyed about it.
Starting point is 00:13:03 I read in a lot to the sentence, he partied every single day but one. That's like what someone who's annoyed says. When I finally got to talk to her. That's the worst. When you have a girlfriend, she's like, I'm glad I finally get to talk to you. It's so loaded.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I thought I talked to you enough. Not finally. We're finally talking to each other too. Let's have a good conversation. Well, let's talk about how we don't talk. Oh God. I miss having passive aggressive
Starting point is 00:13:30 phone talks. That was my favorite part of being in a relationship. I hope your girlfriend, your ex-girlfriend is listening. I know that for a fact that she's not.
Starting point is 00:13:39 She wasn't even listening when we were together. What's the fucking point? No, she is. She's definitely listening. No she she is she's definitely listening i don't know she's not either way but like do you know what the conversation i'm talking about like when there's a silence and then there's like so do you have anything you want to ask me or talk to me about like i don't know we're fucking talking right now do you have anything you want
Starting point is 00:13:57 i had a there's somebody i was with that would used to phrase things in the most annoying way she'd be like i like how you want to get off the phone right away with me but when you're talking to your brother you'll talk for 20 minutes like you like that you do like that or do you like to say that to me i like how you do this but you it's something you don't like yeah you dislike that you you don't like it at all it's beneath your liking it's beneath your dignity for sure. So I feel like this is a bad relationship. Oh, right. We haven't answered the... Should she go?
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yes, go to a frat party. It's not beneath your dignity. Right. Of course. And tell him that he can't tell you what to do. Yeah. And another thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:40 He can party every day but one. It sounds like you guys just shouldn't be in a relationship. Because he's going to do his thing, you're going to do your thing, and that's great. Don't be so bitter towards each other. Cheers. Everybody in the audience has whiskey, right? Good.
Starting point is 00:14:55 That was an easy one, right? Does anybody disagree? This guy in a frat should be with his girlfriend who's graduating from college? Terrible idea. Don't be shy. We can all talk about it. Yeah, this is an intimate setting. Good call. You say go to the party and fuck
Starting point is 00:15:14 somebody? Wow. So that's some serious spite. That's like, alright, I went to the party out of spite but I fucked someone just because I wanted to. Actually, I nicknamed him Dignity and I got beneath him actually. Oh shit, that's hot.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Krandiska. And Dignity. She's a vixen. Should we move on? Next question. Llama Lo, aka Why Not. What do you think about that? Llama Lo? Yeah. I like it. We started. What do you think about that? Lama Lo? Yeah. I like it.
Starting point is 00:15:46 We started with Toto. I feel like we can increase everybody's Hebrew vernacular. By the end of our podcast, we'll only be speaking in Hebrew. That would be amazing. Teaching people Hebrew inadvertently. You listen to the last episode, episode 1,000. It's like, congratulations, you're fluent in Hebrew. And then you're like, oh.
Starting point is 00:16:04 All right. out a thousand. It's like, congratulations, you're fluent in Hebrew. And then you're like, oh. All right. You lost the question, didn't you? I'm playing a game. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Fruit Ninja. Yeah, let's do a man's name. All right. Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You're like Hodor from Game of Thrones. You only say Crandis. Does anybody else have a man's name that's not Crandis? Jelby. Jill? Jelby. Jelby. I'll go with Jelby.
Starting point is 00:16:39 G-Y-L-B-I. G-Y-L-B-I? Well, you said it. You should spell it. You moron. I suck at spelling fake names. I didn't know that. Jelby.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Okay, Jelby writes. So naturally, as a junior in high school, I have countless problems that are highly important to the grand scheme of the universe. However, quite predictably, my current problem revolves around girls. I have been friends with this girl for a few years and decided not too long ago that I like her.
Starting point is 00:17:09 So I straight up asked her if she likes me because I liked her, and she said she only likes me as a friend. I thought she didn't even want to be friends at that point, but to be honest, we drifted further apart after having no classes together for two years. However, I've been trying to reinitiate the conversation between us, and she came up to me the other day after I texted her
Starting point is 00:17:30 and communicated her intentions to remain friends. I kept in touch with her for a while, but I'm at the point where I need to make a decision either to stay friends, keep hitting on her, or to ditch the bitch. Another problem is that I haven't found anyone else that I'm interested in. There's tons of other hot girls at my school, yet none of them are funny or interesting. Help me out. I've clearly been friend-zoned.
Starting point is 00:17:53 What should I do? The friend-zone isn't real. There's no friend-zone. So what is it instead? She just doesn't like you. It's not like, oh, fuck, man, friend-zone. I'm a victim again. No, it's okay she what is he talking about ditch the bitch you're a bitch this guy's a bitch and the other girls that aren't smart or funny he's not smart or funny how do you know that i'm trying
Starting point is 00:18:20 to give this guy tough love because he sounds like he's almost self-aware. The fact that he's like, oh, okay, I realize my problems are insignificant. That's true. You also don't realize that you're dumb. One of his options was to continue hitting on this girl. Third time's a charm. I'm going to do this. No. No.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So you're saying persistence doesn't work. I'm not saying that i'm saying persistent persistence i think i've said this oh yeah there's passive persistence and persistent persistence i wish i didn't coin the phrase because it's really hard for me to say but i think if he stays interested he stays cool he doesn't continually hit on her there's a chance yeah he's like a decent guy that's like she can come around and be like, oh, you know what? I've tried dating all these other guys. They were assholes.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And maybe this guy who's been in the wings and patient and cool, I'll give him a shot. But if he's like continually hitting on her and if he thinks her not liking him back makes her a bitch, then he's a bad guy and he doesn't deserve to ever get laid. So he should ditch her. Yes. He could ditch the girl who doesn't like him. You should rephrase it so she's not a bitch and that you are.
Starting point is 00:19:31 As a bitch, should I ditch this human? What do you think? I feel like he doesn't have options. He shouldn't keep hitting on her. He didn't need to give us a multiple choice thing. He asked the girl out and she said no. He's like, this is tough because I don't have a crush on anyone else
Starting point is 00:19:47 so who should I harass? I'm sort of stuck in between a rock and a hard place at this point. I asked the girl out and she said no. The end.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Well, I naturally asked her out again so now I'm wondering should I do it a third time or admit to myself that she's a bitch? I'm willing to move on to the fact that she's a bitch. So she...
Starting point is 00:20:12 So yes, leave her alone. I don't know what you want. Passive persistence. Okay, chill out. Cool out. You could be friends with her. Could you be friends with someone that you've asked out and she said no? Yeah, definitely. Can you? I don't know. No one's ever said no, you know what I'm saying? Oh my God, I'm having a heart attack.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Really? Yeah. Quick, keep honking. No. Okay, die. This is a second death joke. I feel like you want my fucking clothes? Take them.
Starting point is 00:20:40 They're not that nice. I can have that cardigan? You can have this penguin cardigan. It's pretty sharp. Thanks, dude. Thanks. Let's take a two-minute break where I just drink and think. Two whole minutes?
Starting point is 00:20:54 Jesus. Especially because you're really nursing that drink. Take another sip. Suck some from your mustache. Fuck off with that, dude. Has anybody out there had this problem before? You asked a girl out and she said no. So you asked again and she said no,
Starting point is 00:21:15 and then you wanted to know whether to chill in a friend zone. Are there any girls out there who have had a problem with persistent asking out guys? Persistent guys asking them out? It's got to be true. You guys are just too shy to say. It's okay. You're a lady right here. A guy has asked you out. That's obvious. It's going to happen. It's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:21:32 When you're a nice, cute lady, people are going to want to be with you. Are you sitting next to your boyfriend? Oh, so he asked you out and you said yes. How many times did he have to do it? Seven. Seventeen times. No, how many times? Oh, you had to make her jealous.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Oh, that's a good, that's actually a good tactic. Like, go out there, try to make her jealous by meeting other girls. And then, sometimes what might happen is he actually meets other girls. Yeah, and then when that happens, it's like, oh, she's now jealous, but it doesn't matter. Yeah. There you go. That's another option, if you want to. Yeah, ask somebody else out. That was Yeah. There you go. That's another option if you want to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Ask somebody else out. That was good. Thank you. We actually used these troglodytes for some help. She has a name and I remember it.
Starting point is 00:22:14 It's Austin or Brianna. It's Brianna. Brianna-sly. All right. Third question. It's a dude. Another dude.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Can we get a name? Noel. Oh, third question. It's a dude, another dude. Can we get a name? Shmuel. Oh, very nice. What a stupid name, which is why my parents threw it away into the trash can. Samuel, not Shmuel. You see, my name, Amir Blumenfeld, is a waste paper basket, and you throw middle names in the middle of it.
Starting point is 00:22:46 You throw them away. You have very low self-esteem. You are a garbage. I am not a garbage can. You're a garbage man. And I do whatever a garbage can can do. Any whore. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:23:00 1,200 people just left. Okay. This guy's from the UK. Recently, my girlfriend saw... Recently... Do you want to read this one? You never read shit. That is...
Starting point is 00:23:14 You're being very defensive. You stutter. You're like, you don't know how to read. You do it. Let's see if I can do it. Oh, wait. Hold on. There's a siren.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Oh, shit. 5-0. Oh, wait. Hold on. There's a siren. Oh, shit. 5-0. You guys hear that? No. You can't hear this? Oh, God. I can hear it, but only because I'm really close to you. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I can crack my jaw. Pretty cool. We'll edit that part out. Your entire mouth is numb right now. That's only from the whiskey, though. Here we go. This is from, what was his name? Shmuel.
Starting point is 00:23:55 J&A, I have a conundrum. Recently, me and my girlfriend saw Guardians of the Galaxy and loved it. Any whore. After the film, we both realized realized spelled R-E-A-L-I-S-E-D Fucking UK. I'm telling you guys.
Starting point is 00:24:11 They're so backwards there. That's not a European spelling. Just use the Z. We both realized we need a new phone case. She found this one relating to a cassette in the film which she wants, but after seeing it myself I want it now. She claims she saw it
Starting point is 00:24:28 first, so she'd get it, but that's only something you say when you're the one who wants it. She even already has an R2-D2 one. She's the bitch! I want it because I actually listen to the songs and love the film.
Starting point is 00:24:44 But I feel she wants it just because it's nerdy and retro. But she's still a smoke show. Seems silly to debate about it, but I consider the appearance of my mobile device as if it's a piece of art I made. A goddamn 10-pound note, being in England and all. I'm trying to do me by buying this case, but I don't want the same case as my girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:25:09 How do I be a beast in this regard and avoid a public shaming of me? Who should get the case, guys? Follow-up. Do you care about how your phone looks? Love, Shmuel. P.S. Digging the facial hair, Amir. Oh, that amir oh so this guy is obsessed with personal appearance yeah it's very very materialistic god this is so minute and funny the only part
Starting point is 00:25:35 he had to send was hold on let me find the part let me find the part seems silly to debate that's the one true part of this email. Everything else is not true. It is very silly to debate. Yeah. I view a cell phone case as an extension of me and part of the art that I created. Me reading this over news headlines
Starting point is 00:25:59 of people dying all over the world, the Ebola outbreak, all of the war and the hardship. And he's just like, I don't want the same phone case as my girlfriend. And it's consuming me. Yeah. The appearance of your mobile device isn't a piece of art you made. That's the opposite of that.
Starting point is 00:26:18 I consider the shirt I buy art that I made. Actually, everything that I own is stuff that I did or created. You know, like, I watch Breaking Bad, so that's kind of a piece of art that I made. Actually, everything that I own is stuff that I did or created. You know, like, I watch Breaking Bad, so that's kind of a piece of art that I made. I created that show. In a way, I directed Bryan Cranston. Heisenberg, I came up with that because I liked it a lot. I own a whiskey company. Yeah. That's why I drink
Starting point is 00:26:38 and make whiskey. Cheers to us. I actually made that shirt you wear because I like it. When I like something, I made it. What a delusional guy. I spent money on it, so I made the art. That's the opposite of art. You guys can't see at home, but I'm just tickling him here.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I'm giggling like a school human. Guys, let's not make gender-specific pronouns anymore. It's disgusting. It's absolutely revolting. I made this mic stand. Remember that, runner? You didn't even buy it. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Now he's just picking things out of the world. So this is me. So the answer is obviously steal the phone case from your girl. She can't have it. I do think she wins the case she saw it first. It doesn't matter. I know it doesn't matter, but I am legitimately on her side.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Let's say she didn't see it first. Give her that. Give her the case. No. I'm going to spend 10 pounds on this motherfucker. It very well should be something you made. You should actually make your own phone case. No. I'm going to spend 10 pounds on this motherfucker. Very well should be something you make. You should actually make your own phone case. How about that for creating it?
Starting point is 00:27:52 That'd be kind of cool. I could make a phone case. No, you could not. Let me finish this whiskey. Then I'm going to design a phone case. No one's ever said that before. I could design a phone case? No, let me finish this whiskey and then I'm going to make a phone case. I didn't say make it. I'll just design it. I could design a phone case? No, let me finish this whiskey and then I'm going to make a phone case. I didn't say make it. I'll just design it.
Starting point is 00:28:08 It'll have like a cool pattern. This is another very... Of course. We don't have to just answer emails. We could also... We could do anything with our time. Sure. Tell you what, man. I'm going to be a phone case designer. Bad job. Do you think so?
Starting point is 00:28:23 I think that's a bad job to have have I feel like there's a market for it Everybody has a phone Sure I like design Can I recommend Get Off My Case as a title for the store? See, now you're on board Let's do this! Alright!
Starting point is 00:28:38 I got you invested That's how you get people on your side What do you think of this sentence, which also made me laugh? She just wants it because it's nerdy and retro, but she's still a smoke show. I like that he's trying to give himself valid reasons too. I want it because I actually listen
Starting point is 00:28:54 to the music, okay? And I appreciate the film. She wants it because it's nice and retro. Just as valid as your shitty reasons. You both want it because you like it. Yeah, you just both like it for slightly different reasons. So give her the case, and then you get a different case. It's not fair, but it's a nice gesture.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Yeah, I guess so. This happens when I go to restaurants. I don't like ordering the same food as other people. Which is not true. You should just order what you want. Right, but I don't... What, do you feel bad for the guy making food? What's the holdup?
Starting point is 00:29:27 If we went somewhere and we both ordered the same pasta, I would be upset. I would be mad at you. You'd be mad at me even if I order first. If you ordered first, you said pasta, I'd probably be, ugh. Okay. I have to change now. I'll get squid. I have to get the opposite
Starting point is 00:29:43 of pasta. Is squid the opposite of pasta? I don't squid. I have to get the opposite of pasta. Is squid the opposite of pasta? I don't think so because it's still long and stringy. Try again. Opposite of pasta. Go. A Lego. Nope. Not a Lego because it's still long and stringy. Lego is good. I was thinking marbles.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Pound it out. Marbles is good. Actually, that kind of reminds me of a case I've been thinking about designing. Oh, that's not bad. Yeah. So like a case that looks like it's constructed by Legos? And marbles. Or what about a case that looks like it's a Tetris game on the back of it?
Starting point is 00:30:16 Oh, that's cool. That's nice. And it's like, I like it because it's nice and retro. And I like it because I actually appreciate Tetris. Well, I made the art. I made the art. I made the art. I saw it first. Or second.
Starting point is 00:30:28 It doesn't matter. It's an extension of me. The thing he should know is that whoever gets it, him or his girlfriend, they will be the first person to own this phone case, right? The cassette? The cassette. I've seen it so much. It's pretty lame as a phone case.
Starting point is 00:30:42 I feel like we should just save them both and say neither of you guys get it. It's a terrible idea. Is it worse than the R2-D2 when she's already sporting? Yes. Okay. Good to know. Cheers. What was I going to say?
Starting point is 00:30:54 I already forget. It doesn't matter. I shouldn't take time to think about it. We should just move on and do other stuff. You're really nursing the whiskey. That's all I'll say. Would you guys agree? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:04 They're just agreeing with you because they want to be friendly. All right, well, why don't you ask them if you're not nursing the whiskey? Am I not nursing it? How do you answer that? No, you're not nursing it? Whatever it is, you have to drink more whiskey. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:31:21 We are getting in trouble at the hotel. This is illegal. Did you not take a sip though? I did a pump fake Thank you I'll read the next one too Let's relax a little A lot of texts from your dad Chill dude
Starting point is 00:31:38 Just like text after text Amir come home, Amir your mother is worried about you Amir I don't care about you But you should call your mother Fine. Amir, I don't care about you, but you should call your mother. Fine. Stay away from home. We don't care. Oh, and then here you go asking him for money. This is really sad, huh?
Starting point is 00:31:53 Dark. Yeah, it depends on what angle you're coming off of it from. Because he ends up agreeing to give me money, which I think is a happy thing. That's nice. Yeah, wiring you 2K. Yeah. Just let us know if you got it. Amir, did you get it? Amir, did you get it? Amir, did you get the money? Asshole.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Should we move on to the next question? I don't know. Yeah, let's take a break. Let's get to know people in the second row. Is everybody here from Los Angeles or is somebody here travel from past LA? You traveled from where? Montana for this podcast festival?

We have a podcast and a lot of other people have podcasts, but we don't know any of them, talk to any of them or are friends with any of them. But they're all friends with each other.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Yeah, they all like each other and hate us. Yeah. It's because we have that section of our podcast, let's make fun of other podcasts. Yeah, that's right. So we're into it right now. Who charted? Who cares?

Starting point is 00:34:12 Oh, he said about three acres, and then I said, oh, fuck yeah. Yeah. Three acres is like the equivalent of having a studio apartment in LA. That's like the smallest lot of land you can have in Montana. Right. How much do you pay for rent on a three-acre lot of land in Montana? Tight, dude. Oh, fuck yeah. Those are their parents. lot of land you can have in Montana. How much do you pay for rent on a three acre lot of land in Montana? Tight, dude.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Those are their parents. That means you eat for free because they pay for it and then you do whatever you want. That's what I was telling you. We should live back with my fucking parents. Dude, I loved living with your mom. When we lived with your mom, it was like killer. The food was bad. Yeah, the food was bad. But she made it.
Starting point is 00:34:44 It was nice that I was fed and full most of the time, but it was like eating gruel. But a lot of it was traditional Israeli food. I had no idea that culturally Israelis eat gray. Just the color gray. That's what everything was to me. But a lot of it was very color.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Yeah, here's a brown soup. It tasted like warm water in my mouth. A lot of it was very cold. Yeah, here's a brown soup. Yeah, that was a lentil soup. It tasted like warm water in my mouth. And then like the lamb, the meat, the couscous. I thought it was succulent, delicious. The side dishes were to die for. I thought it tasted just like tar.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I've never tasted tar, but I think that would be like what it tasted like, your mother's food. Which you told her. Yes, I said, may I have more tar? Excuse me, lamb. It was nice living there, though. That was cool. Cheers to Rivka. Don't say her name.

He called her a dude. Oh, no. Left hand with his thumb inside. Why I oughta... Remember how I almost got into a fight on Friday?
Starting point is 00:41:16 Oh, yeah. Dude, I really... I had your back. I know, and I was drunk enough to want to get hit. I know you really did. You came up to him. You kept on going up to him. Yeah, I've never been in a fight. I've, and I was drunk enough to want to get hit. I know you really did. You came up to him. You kept on going up to him. I've never been in a fight.
Starting point is 00:41:26 I've never been punched. And on Friday, we went dancing together. We got drunk and went to a dance together. The funniest thing is this is, all of it's true still. We got drunk and went dancing. Me and Amir went dancing together on Friday
Starting point is 00:41:41 night. I guess I accidentally backed up into a lady, which I shouldn't have done, but I spilled a drink, or so he said. Did you see what happened? All I saw was, like, you guys looked like you were getting into it. Okay, so I didn't see or feel it. I apologized. Oh, sorry. I didn't see her. He was like, don't fucking say
Starting point is 00:41:58 sorry to me, bro. Say sorry to her. I'm like, I'm sorry, dude. I'm a comedian. What do you want me to do? It's all a joke to me. Like, I was just trying to instigate him. This guy was short, so I'm a comedian what do you want me to do it's all a joke to me like I was just like trying to like instigate him this guy was short so I'm like it'd be funny if he hits me even if he swung at you I could just go like this yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:42:14 like the kid in punch out trying to like touch fucking piston Honda or something but I wanted to get punched I've never played that game but that piston Honda reference I'm sure didn't go over everybody's name. And I'm good at being a smart ass. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:42:29 what do you want to do, man? Like, come on. I was just fucking around. I'm sorry. I was just like fucking around. I don't know. I'm silly. I don't take anything seriously.
Starting point is 00:42:36 He's like, just fucking step away from me and his girlfriend was pushing him away like he was actually going to do something and then you saw it happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:43 And you said you were going to tackle him if he punched me, which would have been awesome. I was sitting down because I was really drunk. From all the dancing. I was, like, dancing and taking shots. And I was just, like, then I was just, like, chilling. I was like, all right, this is not my song.
Starting point is 00:42:56 I'm just going to sit here. And all of a sudden, I just saw, like, there was a sort of a melee in the middle of the floor, which I guess was you, like, talking to him. And I just, like, stood up. Like, oh, oh. sort of a melee in the middle of the floor, which I guess was you talking to him. And I just stood up. And I was just watching a hawk just waiting because I didn't want to get into the middle of it until something really broke out. I didn't want
Starting point is 00:43:14 to rob you of that experience, which would have been amazing. But I also knew I could fly from the sky because there was sort of a stage. I could fly from the sky and hit him right in the temple and maybe kill him. If I hit him just right. God, it would have been so cool if I got punched in the head and you tackled the guy. Oh, God, I wish.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Let's do that. Let's pick a fight. Let's keep going out, man. We really should. I didn't have fun that night with you. I don't like you. Oh, no. Oh, shit. I'm sorry. I'm going to throw up. I don't like you Oh no Oh shit I'm sorry I'm gonna throw up
Starting point is 00:43:48 My heart broke No it would be fun to get in a fight Then we can talk about a real fucking fight on the podcast Someday None of this fake shit You do Like knowing you You come close to being punched in the head a lot
Starting point is 00:44:00 Yeah Cause I'm a wise ass Right you like You get people mad at you And then you refuse to back down And even when you apologize Yeah, because I'm a wise ass. Right, you get people mad at you and then you refuse to back down and even when you apologize, you laugh. Yeah, I'm sort of laughing at them, not with them.
Starting point is 00:44:11 And that pisses people off. That'll do it. The trick is to piss people off that you think are smaller or softer than you. Right, right, right. So like a doggy would be one person I'd want to piss off. Like a dog.
Starting point is 00:44:26 A dog could beat the shit out of you. A dog would bite you. What? They can bite? Yeah. I've been stealing milk bones from dogs. I saw a stash of milk bones in your closet. I steal it with my mouth.
Starting point is 00:44:43 There's crumbs all over my shirt and face. We need, do we get a guy's name? Yeah, Demetrius. Okay. Demetrius writes, about two months ago I celebrated my birthday. It wasn't anything special because I was on vacation with my parents.
Starting point is 00:44:56 I came back home and life continued and everything is chill. The only thing is that my best friend didn't do anything for my birthday. It's been two months and the only thing he gave me was a Facebook wall post stating, Happy Birthday. I wouldn't be upset about it if not for the fact that I gave him an Xbox for his birthday a month earlier. I'm just bummed about the fact that he doesn't even take time to wish me a happy birthday after I get back from my vacation.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Also, after gifting him an Xbox, I do feel like he should give me a present in return. How should I approach this? Or am I just being a bitchly for demanding presents? Any advice would be welcome. Love, Demetrius. So sad. This is why my theory, my rule,
Starting point is 00:45:40 my ideal utopia is no gifts ever. No gifts ever? You bought me a birthday gift. And I hated every minute of it. You got me a really nice gift this year. Remember I said on the podcast, oh, I thought of a good gift for you. And that was it?
Starting point is 00:45:53 Yeah, that was it. Did I give you a gift for your birthday? You did not. Are you sure I did not? Did I or not? Do you actually remember? You gave me a $10 iTunes gift card. Fuck off, I did get you a
Starting point is 00:46:05 gift well oh what was it you asshole you once got me a you asshole clip wow you're turning away from me this is insane you got me a gift you don't remember it because you didn't even want it you're mad you're mad at me for not accepting the gift well? I'm not doing the podcast anymore. Give me a minute. Wait, is it the tie clip that you're thinking of? I got you the tie clip five years ago. And I remember it. You remember the tie clip, but you don't remember this year.
Starting point is 00:46:40 This year you gave me a gift for my 31st birthday? Fucking dick. I'll tell you where we were when I got it. It was in a tie clip store. Marty, you were there. You remember when I got them? Nope. Good.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Where was it? Was it in what? We were at Sushi. Me, you, Marty, and Matt. Oh, fuck you. Because we never ended up using that. You, because you canceled on me. You bought me a plane ticket, and then you took the credit.
Starting point is 00:47:14 You took the credit back. You fucking took your gift back. And you're mad at me for not remembering it? Because you didn't want to go on the trip with me. I'm not going to, your birthday present isn't me sending you on a trip on your own. Yes, that's the gift. No, it's not. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Give me a gift certificate. Give me a gift certificate. I was going to give you $200 in cash. That's your gift? Yeah, that's a gift. How much did the goddamn pen cost? $90. $90?
Starting point is 00:47:37 Yeah. Fuck off with that. You gave me credit for a Southwest flight. We didn't take it. And then you said, can I have your reservation number? Because I'm going to use that credit. You took the gift back. I bought you a $200 plane ticket
Starting point is 00:47:50 to Las Vegas. Yeah. We were going to go together. And then you don't go and you say, I get the $200. Yeah, that's exactly right. No way.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Yes. Yes. No way. Yes, right? No way. Asking for the credit back. This is a question that would come up on our podcast.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Right, and I would agree with me because i'm me of course not you but i the gift isn't me sending you on a vacation the gift is us going on vacation so i take that away and you take it back it's like here here's a sweater you're like oh i don't really want it you return it and give me it's not like a sweater because the sweater is just yours it's like me me buying a coat that's big enough for the two of us and you say thanks but i don't want to wear it with you i'll return it and then i get the fucking store credit or cash for it what would you do you guys think i deserve the money that was from the gift that i didn't use i do no i feel like there's a lot of mixed reviews and you only are the one that agreed with you this guy yes sir this guy
Starting point is 00:48:39 has the longest hair clearly he's the smartest man what is there jake's right wait let's just okay show of hands we could do a show of hands show of hands who's jake's right show of hands he's the smartest man Jake's right Show of hands We can do a show of hands Jake's right show of hands He gets the money That's a shit load of hands That's all the hands almost Who agrees with me that he should give me a gift
Starting point is 00:48:56 Two people Four people You raised your hands both times That's what I'm saying Which you haven't done your hands both times. That's what I'm saying. I should get the money back. Which you haven't done. Nine months later,
Starting point is 00:49:11 you know what you'll do? You'll be like, oh, for this year we'll give you another gift. That means that that gift went away because that counts as next year's gift. Yeah, because he decided
Starting point is 00:49:20 not to go on the trip. That's not true. It is. You didn't want to go on the trip. That's not that I only wanted to. You also said we shouldn It is. You didn't want to go on the trip. That's not that I only wanted to. You also said we shouldn't go. Marty didn't go.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Where the fuck is Marty? You didn't go, Marty. Don't blame him. You said we shouldn't go. It was a mutual agreement. Does that change your guys' answer? It changes everything. It changes everything.
Starting point is 00:49:38 It wasn't mutual. I was the fourth person to drop out. There was four people. I was the last one to drop out. So if I wanted to go to Vegas with just me and you? Of course. You're still wrong.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Drink up. Things finally got real on the podcast. I was as real as they ever got. And the madness that you had towards me, completely unjustified, by the way, by the fact that the gift was never even fucking given to me. We didn't use the gift. The gift was given to you.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Oh, I can't believe you don't remember. The gift certificate I took back. How dare you? You got the gift. Remember I got you cash and then gave it back to me? How do you not remember the $20 bill I put in your wallet and stole back six months later? I didn't steal it back. I got you the gift.
Starting point is 00:50:24 You small man. You gave it back. You returned it. At least show of hands, but that was overreacting. Right? What sort of bizarre universe is this? Sorry, I'm on stage, okay? I'm a performer. Through and through. You can't take the actor out of me.
Starting point is 00:50:39 We should go to Vegas. Okay. Tonight? To us. Tonight, to us. Tonight. To us. L'chaim. More Hebrew. L'chaim. What was this fucking question even? Oh, the guy who expected a gift and
Starting point is 00:50:55 didn't get one. You can't get mad about gifts. That's another rule. If gifts are going to exist, which I think they shouldn't, you can't get mad about gifts. That's not okay. You're never allowed to say you didn't get me a gift. Or you didn't get me the right gift.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Well, this guy didn't get a gift at all. That's fine. Gifts are like tips. Optional. Though you can get mad about not getting a tip. Yeah, you do get mad about that all the time. Right. But I think if somebody doesn't give you a gift it should always be a bonus.
Starting point is 00:51:27 You can't get mad about not getting bonus. I do think this is a very sad this situation is tragic, but you're right, there's nothing to do. You can't be like, I got you an Xbox. This guy, as a protective measure, must care less in the friendship. It sounds like he cares too much right now. So try to start caring less.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Don't care about gifts Maybe when you're in a relationship The rules are a little different There's more of a social obligation Between friends If you have a girlfriend You should get her something And she should get you something
Starting point is 00:51:55 I hate that shit Why? Because I don't like stuff People giving me gifts is like Oh cool, something I didn't decide for myself That I wanted that you decided that I would have to have. You hate possessions.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Now I have to throw it away or give it away. This is a good example of how much you hate possessions. They asked me if I wanted this show on a thumb drive or a drop box, and I said thumb drive, and you got mad for me. First, I got a thumb drive. You're like, now that thumb drive's gonna be on your desk. Yeah, I guess the thumb drive will be on my desk. You'll just have it.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Why do you want the trash? I don't want the trash. I want the thumb drive. It's garbage. You already have thumb drives. You don't need it. They could put it on Dropbox. So what should we say to this guy?
Starting point is 00:52:40 I guess try to stop giving a shit. Try to stop giving a shit. You can't get mad about gifts. That's my overall thing. Yeah, but if it's going to eat away at you, do you have to say something? No. You have to bottle it up and then die one day.
Starting point is 00:52:56 And then where do all the thumb drives go? I want to be buried with that thumb drive. I'm going to keep it with me always. That'd be kind of a cool cuff link, right? Thumb drive, cuff link? Cuff link? That's a good thing for uncrate.com. So it's a cuff link that's a thumb drive. Does that exist? I hope not. Does it exist?
Starting point is 00:53:14 Huh? It is for spies. That's how we'll market it. It'll be like James Bond in a tuxedo with a little thumb drive and then the other one blows up. That's so nerdy. I should totally do this instead of a podcast. And technically, that would be something you created. You could be the artist in this case.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Thank you. We have one last question. Are you ready? I think so. Are you guys ready? Yeah. I'm sorry, but it's another man. Another male.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Another male name. Jarski? What is that? Oh, this guy just pulling up on his phone. Wi-Fi cufflinks. Wait, that says Wi-Fi cufflinks. Oh, it's a thumb drive. And it has Wi-Fi?
Starting point is 00:54:01 Wow, wireless cufflink hard drive? All right, that's fucking cool. I'll invest in that company. Amazon.com, you said? Alibaba. Did you invest in Alibaba? You know what? I didn't.
Starting point is 00:54:16 And I'll tell you why after the podcast. Your other finance podcast? Advice for even less justified in giving? All right, what's the name? I kill at the stock market. What's the name? Jarski. Jarski writes.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Jarski Tite is his last name. Jarski Tite is his last name? Jarski Tite. Oh, yeah, his first name is George. George Jarski Tite, yeah. JST writes, I'm 16 years old, and I'm having trouble with my girlfriend of three months
Starting point is 00:54:48 who lives about a four-hour drive away. JST. Sorry, wait. JST, you gave him George Jarsky type? How does that... Where is JST? Did I say JST? You did.
Starting point is 00:54:59 Oh, GJT? Yeah. Hey, guys. I'm 16 years old, and I'm having trouble with my girlfriend of three months who lives about a four-hour drive away. We used to talk all the time, but recently she's been avoiding me. She hasn't had the time to talk to me. From the little time that I get to talk to her, she's usually with other guys,
Starting point is 00:55:18 even some of her exes. I really care about this girl. I do, but this is going too far. I trust her, but I don't trust these other guys because I know exactly what they're trying to do. Thanks, guys. Love the show. Love JGT.
Starting point is 00:55:35 George Jarsky. Yeah. When you're 16 years old, do you have real feelings yet? I feel like they're just foreshadowing of real feelings to come. He's feeling jealousy and anxiety right now, but he's only been with this girl for three months. Right. And they live four hours apart.
Starting point is 00:55:50 So he's seen her like six times. Right. God, I just don't trust these other guys. Yeah, they're going to put her under a spell via hypnosis or something, and I don't know what happens next. When you don't trust other guys, you're saying you don't trust her. You don't trust anybody. Yeah, what can other guys do without her permission? Yeah.'s a scary proposition but i very much so if you don't trust
Starting point is 00:56:09 them that much then that's a huge problem but if you trusted your girl she can hang out with other guys but if she's talking to you less and less and she's with other guys and her exes i think your only move is to break up it sounds like it's coming. Well, we often just say break up. That's my default. How can they work through this? They can't. The problem is she's a four hour drive away and when you're age 16 you probably can't even drive yet.
Starting point is 00:56:36 You can drive at 16. Not everywhere. What do you mean not everywhere? Most states. Is it 18? Or 17. Really? It's 12 in Montana.
Starting point is 00:56:47 In Montana, you're born in a car. You can just drive a tractor and that's fine. Anything goes in Montana. Whatever. They try to incentivize people to move there. Wait, how old is the driving age here in California? 15 and a half. 15 and a half, you get your permit.
Starting point is 00:57:02 At 16, you get your license. 14 and a half. Do I hear 13? 15 and a half 15 and a half you get your permit then at 16 you get your license 14 and a half 14 and a half 14 and a half do I hear 13 I just had when I was 14 and a half I just got pubes my first ones
Starting point is 00:57:12 my first ones were sprouting and I could have a car you should be able to you should have to start your car with pubes you take out
Starting point is 00:57:19 a tuft of pubes you shove it in the ignition it's kind of like Avatar yeah you connect the car with your pubes and that's how you get youres, you shove it in the ignition. It's kind of like Avatar. Yeah. You connect the car with your pubes. And that's how you get your license.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Then you control it. That's sweet. I see you, Jake Sully. Who remembers Avatar? That was a good one. Yeah. Isn't it weird that that movie made more money than any other movie ever? That's kind of weird.
Starting point is 00:57:40 Well, you're not ingesting for inflation and stuff. That's beautiful. Gone with the wind. Thank you. That's what you have to do. If someone goes to pound you and both your hands are full, it's a kiss. That's your advice for this guy. That's my advice for anybody when I've had enough of this whiskey.
Starting point is 00:58:02 It seems like if your girlfriend is talking to you less and less early, three months should be the honeymoon period. Everything is going great. They want to talk to you as much as possible. Yeah, three months is like ideal. That's great. That's like maximum infatuation.
Starting point is 00:58:14 And she's already hanging out with her exes and not talking to you. That should happen in year three. Your relationship's over, right? If it's bad on the third month, it's going to be really bad going forward. Does any relationship start bad and get better? Does any relationship start at 16 and last forever? That's a song lyric.
