If I were you, I would probably be super nice to me. If I were you, I would selflessly help you seize that cheese.

If I were you, I'd email Jake and Amish. Whoa. Awesome. How about Da? How about Da? That was Alex McGuire, our biggest fan from New Haven, Connecticut. My hometown, dude. His new band, Youth XL, has a new theme song submissions for us.

And if you don't mind, tell the masses to follow at youth underscore XL underscore on Instagram. Okay. Do you really need the end underscore? Underscore XL underscore? Underscore? XL underscore is already just a blank so like why are you adding a forced blank at the end of the year? I guess it's probably for like the way

it looks not the way it sounds it looks like an underground empty area an underlined empty area like the symmetry like the XL is standing on solid ground yeah but then do you say that to people or do you just assume that they'll follow you online you don't ever have to say your handle out loud yeah i think you don't really have to say

your handle often like usually um you're like you are using it to comment and other people see it yeah but you never say it underscore excel underscore you write into a pod cast you're touching the world's smallest dog. I'm petting the dog. Can you get a command of the English language so it doesn't sound like I'm assaulting a puppy, please? Your pinky is incredibly close to his little dick. Well, the dog is so small that everywhere you pet it is close to his dick.

He's on his side just splaying his belly up to you. Yeah, this dog fucking loves me. I feel the same way. But the way you pet him is so, it's so just centered on his belly right above his little doggy dick. You're making it sound like I'm some sort of bestiality corporate. And now he's looking at me. He's looking at me like I'm talking shit about him. You are talking shit about him. No, I'm not. I'm talking shit about you. Here,

let me take a picture just so I can put it on. I want everybody at home to know that I didn't move my hand at all. And this is a very acceptable place to pet a dog. You can look at Amir's photo. Actually, maybe I'll do a boomerang. That way there's a little bit of motion in it, if you don't mind. Yeah. Maybe I should just jerk him off for a second just for the boomerang. No. I was just kidding. The fact that I said no made your joke much more serious than it was.

All right, ready? And going. Oh, shit. That was just a photo. God damn it. I feel like an old person. All right, ready? Three, two, one, and...

Oh, that was cute. He sort of slouched over while you were... This is... His name is Fernando or Francisco? I believe Francisco, long for Frankie. Right.

Our intern Clementine's dog. Shout out to Clem. He is... Thanks for leaving the dog in the studio. Four pounds, if not an ounce, 18 inches, bone hard, soaking dry. She's not going to leave the dog in the studio anymore

if you fucking... We talked a lot about the dick of the dog. You talked a lot about the dick of the dog. You keep bringing it up. You joked about jerking the dog off. Yeah, I made one joke that was like, really, I only did it

to make it a little less weird that you wouldn't stop talking about it. Oh, because then it's like this I sort of tried to lighten the air and then you immediately

called me out for some reason. Now you're using two hands on the dog. Well, the second hand is under the neck. It's very far from the penis.

I didn't say anything about the position of the second hand next to the penis. He's very far from the penis. I didn't say anything about the position of the second hand next to the penis. He has such an expressive little face. He has two dots for eyebrows. He has like two brown dots. He's a sweet little boy. Are you going to get a dog? When I stopped petting him, he was like, whoa, what? Yeah. He looks up to you and wonders why. Would you ever get a dog this tiny? Totally, yeah. So you don't need like a big boy dog? I just need, I mean, I like, I think I prefer a big boy dog,

but I would definitely get a dog this tiny. My parents have a small dog. Not this small. Not this small. But there's something nice about a small dog that you could just like grab, pick up, put it in your lap. Yeah, even put it in a bag. You don't have to put, no, I wouldn't do that. Honestly, you could probably put Frankie in like a sandwich. Like a carrying case or bag. You don't have to put, no, I wouldn't do that.

Honestly, you could probably put Frankie in like a sandwich. Like a carrying case or something. Like a little Ziploc. I wouldn't do that. Well, you keep it a little bit open. You wouldn't Ziploc the whole. I wouldn't do it at all. You need a quart bag, basically. Yeah, like a freezer bag, but that's still inhumane.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to describe the size of the dog. I'm not saying actually put it in a bag. You did say put it, you said you could put it. I'm not saying actually put it in a bag. You did say you could put it in a bag. You could put it in a bag. I'm just saying, you could put it in a bag. Don't put it in a bag, obviously. Obviously don't put it in a bag.

Unless he wants to sleep in a little bag. So now you're inching towards putting the dog in a bag. It would be a cute photo. To put the dog in a freezer bag? That's a cute photo? No, you're saying freezer like I'm going to freeze the dog in a freezer bag that's a cute photo no you're saying freezer like i'm gonna freeze the dog i want to just like put the bag around the dog and have him like poke his head out or like or like what in yeah but not zip it up not zip it up or if you do zip it up zip photo out boom he's comfortable jesus christ he's a fine dog this is a fine dog and you'll you're

gonna stop talking about putting it in a Ziploc bag. All right. This is If I Were You, the only advice podcast. Sick him, Frankie. Ah! He's eating my toe! On the internet, hosted by me, I'm Amir. I'm Jake.

With Frankie. Frankie, our third guest. Our first guest. First dog guest in the studio. And we also have Dee downstairs, which is Marty's bull pig. Frankie looks like if Dee took a shit. Like Dee takes shits that are the size of Frankie. Yeah. For sure.

And Frankie loves that about her. They're a little hot couple. Frankie takes shits that are the size of d which is crazy that's amazing yeah so a little 18 inch dog yeah it takes a dog takes a shit that's roughly what 80 pounds 90 pounds shit over the course of a year but still um all right should we get some get some questions and answers here yeah this is 2019 after all. Second week? Third week? How far into 2019 are we on? Yeah, this is the second week. By the time this comes out, the beginning of the third.

What do we got here? I just have to, of course. Find questions now? Yeah, let me read a few. Oh, here's one. Our New York show sold out. Oh, not really a question, but a funny email we got this morning. Yes, that's a statement of fact.

You officially can't come to the New York show, even if you got a ticket. Well, what about our friends and family? They can't come either. That's cool. Yeah. That's actually really cool, right? Fucking show for an empty theater, even though you sold it out. You refund everybody their money.

Like we bought all the tickets? That's really cool. Long time listener writes Frankie. First multiple time advice seeker but this question is more important than any of the other ones I've asked. I moved in with my girlfriend of four years about a year ago and things are going well. Not perfect because honestly what relationship is perfect, but we love and support each other in the ways that matter. One big problem I'm having, though, is that when she sleeps,

she grinds her teeth so goddamn much, it keeps me awake. I've suggested she gets a grind guard, and she's resistant to the concept because she thinks she'll go wrong without a dentist recommended guard. Got it. She thinks she'll go wrong without a dentist recommended guard. The problem is, as a grad student, she doesn't have dental insurance. I can hear her gnashing away as I'm writing this email, and I would really appreciate your help. How can I nudge her in the right direction, All I getting her help for her teeth grinding. Do I just buy her a grind guard? Do I make her fix the issue? Uh, do I make her fixing the issue a point of contention or do I just suck it up? I love you guys. Please help. Love Frankie. Hmm. Grind guard. Have you ever had one? Uh,

no, but I don't grind my teeth. You're a big proponent of the grind guard. Yeah you ever had one? No, but I don't grind my teeth. You're a big proponent of the grind guard. Yeah, I'm a convert. I don't know if I've ever used it as my unsolicited advice, but maybe five or six years ago, Frankie, legs just extended out straight. This is the weirdest. He looks like he's taxidermied in this position. He's on his back, curved

like a boomerang, legs so stiff and straight, arms very bent, staring at me like he's mad at me for something. Yeah, I guess because you threatened to put him in a Ziploc bag. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know that. All right, grind guards. Got a grind guard five years ago. Dentist said that my teeth are, you know, being grinded away as I sleep, I guess. I didn't even realize it. But at first it was kind of weird. It felt like sleeping with a retainer again. It's almost like was hard to breathe. But now it's gotten to the point where I can't sleep without my grind guard. I take it everywhere. And even if I miss one night, it's noticeable. So I understand her hesitance and reticence to getting a grind guard, but I'm here to tell her that grind guards will change the way she sleeps. She'll sleep better and feel better in the

morning. Have you ever experienced grinding next to you? No, I've actually, I have absolutely zero experience with, with this. It's kind of like snoring light. So instead of like, it's like, which you also do. Yeah. I snore and I grind. Yeah. But I also sleep really well. I wonder if those two things are related because I'm so passed out that my face is making loud noises and I don't realize it. Yeah. Does your girlfriend who has to sleep next to your grinding and snoring and farting ever complain about that? You added the farting. You said grinding and snoring, which is what I admitted to. And then you said farting.

We shared a Jack and Jill room in our house that we first moved into in LA. I do take one, as is my custom in the morning, to take my morning fart. That's going to happen in the morning. You fart in the middle of the night, though. Do I? I don't know, because I'm asleep. I usually feel it in the morning. While I'm taking my morning pee, I'll take my morning fart.

It is a loud, echoey fart. I think she's, one, gotten used to the snoring, and two, drowns it out with white noise, fan, stuff like that. So he can do that, but that's not really addressing the issue. That's just putting a Band-Aid over his ears. I do think that she will feel better. If she's grinding audibly, you can get, I got the fancy molded dentist thing that the orthodontist made for me. But you can get like cheaper ones at CVS that's just like put it in hot water and like shove it in your mouth and it's close enough.

Yeah. I mean, what's the harm of that versus a dentist made one? Like that was just like very, very comfortable. I think she's using it as like uh i think she's saying that like i don't want to do it because like i don't trust you but like it's it's all the same just one is like form fitted exactly for your mouth and one is like a little bit bigger and if anything you could say that like why don't you do the one from the pharmacy and if you like it when you get dental insurance you can like do it right.

Yeah. Do it real nice. But I think this guy can get it for her as kind of a quasi-romantic gift. It's like, oh, I want you to sleep better. Here's this little grind guard. Yeah. Maybe you can get matching grind guards. That's sexy.

Yeah. That's hot. One blue and one pink. What better way to say that you've settled into your relationship for the long haul than by getting each other matching grind guards. Ensuring you will not be fucking that night. Well, it is four years into a relationship and a year ago of living. So they're at the grind guard stage of the relationship. Definitely.

They were there three years ago. All right. Next question. Yes. Oh, this one is the opposite. This one is a cool question from a lady. Ooh. So we'll call her D, the other dog in our office.

Not that Frankie's not cool. Yeah. Frankie is cool. I shouldn't have assigned the grind guard question to him. I had a friends with benefits situation for five months with my weed guy. See, I told you it was cool. Hot and cool and sexy. I guess to the point

where maybe it could be seen as we were dating as his mom had always came to me to see me perform and I've written stuff for his brother's band and he would buy me shit slash take me on dates.

Yes. If you met his mom, you had a boyfriend. It could be seen that we were dating because he took me on dates. Since we never- And I met his mother. Since he never said we were BFGF, I felt like that I didn't really need to break up with him and kind of just ghosted. Now we're at my situation.

I'm in a desperate need for grass, and I can't find another plug anywhere despite going to a party school. A plug. Have you ever heard that term? I think I have. Plug is definitely a cooler slang than grass. Good on you. You saved it. I don't really want to contact him because I know he'll think I want to hook up again.

When I really just want the weed. What would you do if you were me? Jake, I know you sold. Would you sell to an ex if they asked? Thanks, boys. Can't wait to drag my two friends who have never heard of you to your DC show. That's right. We still have tickets available still to our DC show on March 9th.

So if you can't come to the New York one now because it's sold out. Take the train with us on Saturday the 9th. Oh, yeah. We are going to have to do that. That's fun. I love that train. Plug, grass, X, ghost, weed. Yeah.

This feels pretty familiar. Yeah. Why don't you get a pen? Huh? She could just get like, I guess it feels like almost archaic now to me to like buy marijuana from a dealer. Oh, because you can get like a glass USB pen that vapes, gets you high to your specific specifications. Yeah, and I feel like you could buy those online. Have you ever vaped? What do you mean?

Like, have you ever used those pens? The THC? Like a weed pen? Yeah. And how do you think that compares to the good old-fashioned J? I mean, it's less harsh on your throat. That's good. I would say entirely better. But I like, I have always liked the ritual of

smoking weed, like passing around a joint. A roach, a J. Not a roach. A roach. No, not a roach. A blunt, sure. It's cool to say blunt. Yeah.

I would say like, that's a cool blunt. You would say that's a cool blunt? Pass the blunt. That's actually a really dope blunt. Quit bogarting my blunt. You know what makes something a blunt, right? If you use the cigar paper. Oh, really?

I thought it was like tobacco in addition to weed. Oh, I mean, I don't know. That's cool. I don't think that's it, though. Could they make blunt vapes? I think. Imagine a vape so blunt you couldn't even stab someone with it. You'd have to call it Emily.

A vape so blunt you call it Emily on the side. How's that, Mr. Krasinski? Her husband? Yes. Got it. What do you think of him becoming like a jacked movie hero kind of guy? Are you buying it or you don't quite believe it because you've seen him in the office? Yeah, I don't quite believe it because you've seen him in the office yeah i don't quite believe it it almost i guess i haven't seen him do like i don't know if i've seen like an action movie that he's in that i liked yet what was he like an army guy in um oh like the

secret soldiers of benghazi yeah which i didn't see Which is like one of the only action movies I didn't see because it just like, there's something that like is very triggering about Benghazi that makes me feel like the political leanings didn't align. Wasn't he also Jack Ryan? Yeah, he's in Jack Ryan. But that's like an Amazon show that I have not seen yet. Got it. That's not a movie. Like, if he was born or Captain America

or something. Yeah. Like, how would you rank the leading action dudes? Like, who's at the top and then where would you put

Jeremy Renner? Ooh. I mean, Jeremy Renner played Bourne and he's also in The Avengers.

But, like, I think there's never gonna be a replacement Bour born for Matt Damon in my eyes. Yeah. Would you put Damon at the top? Hawkeye is like one of the worst Marvel guys. So like I'm not a huge Renner fan. Yeah.

Oh, he was also – but he was in like Mission Impossible too. Mm-hmm. He makes a lot of good choices. Like he's in great movies, but I'm never like excited about like, oh, shit. I got to see the new Renner. I don't think he's in great movies, but I'm never like excited about like, oh shit, who's Renner playing? I gotta see the new Renner. I don't think he's hot enough. To you.

Yeah. So who's at the top of those kind of cool dudes? Kind of cool, like maybe Christian Bale, but I guess he's like older now and like being a very serious actor. Yeah, he's not doing action. But like Bale Batman is probably like coolest superhero to me. And then Damon? Yeah, Damon. Well, maybe, I mean, if I can travel in time, which I guess I established with the Bateman,

Batman, I'd probably have to say the Damon, Damon Bourne's. Number one. Yeah. And then Bale Batman. Then Bale Batman. Yeah, I mean, that's probably, that's like one of two. What about Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, Ethan Hunt? Oh, yeah.

I mean, Tom Cruise's action movies are pretty incredible. I never like, I feel like I like those movies, but I'm never like super excited about Tom Cruise. In it. Well, I know I am. But, I don't know. Bourne's just the fucking old man. And then we gotta talk about fantasy, too. Like, Aragorn, that's...

That seems like a different category, though. You can't compare Jason Bourne... You don't think Aragorn's a superhero? Who? Viggo Mortensen? Viggo Mortensen, yeah. What is he? The king of fucking Rohan.

What is he, like, kick stuff? Kick stuff. Cuts down orcs. He defeats Sauron. I feel like I could beat him in an arm wrestling match. That doesn't count. No fucking chance you could. I feel like I can outwit Aragorn.

Is he smart? Strider? Who? Strider. His secret identity when he didn't want to become the king. Does he have a gun ever? Nobody has a gun. You gotta hold a gun like this. He commands an army of the undead.

I'm talking about two hands on a fucking gun. Biceps flexed, moving around really quick. He has two hands on a long sword. What's that? He has two hands on a sword and he defeats an evil fucking sorcerer. So that's pretty good. I guess. Fuck you, dude. What's your favorite action movie?

I like Terminator. So Arnold. Brad Pitt never played an action guy. Has Brad Pitt ever held a gun in a movie? Oh yeah, for sure. Name the movie, right? Yeah. I think, I mean I think he held

Like a cool policeman? I think he holds a gun in Snatch. Siri, does Brad Pitt hold a gun in snatch? He definitely kills people, but he might not pull the trigger. I think he

in World War Z, he's like not quite, like that's an action movie, but he's not, he like kind of plays a scientist. What about Will Smith? Yeah, that's an action movie, but he's not, he like kind of plays a scientist. Oh, what about Will Smith? Yeah, he's also in there because of Men in Black and Bad Boys. All right, let's get back to this.

No. Okay, who else is there? Who else is jacked hot and holds a gun in a movie? All right, if you were me, what would you do? You would just go elsewhere, medical marijuana. And recreational marijuana is probably legal where you are. You can just walk into a store at this point. I really think so. If you go to a party school, just at the next party you're at, ask someone where they got their weed. I want to talk to a drug dealer that's been doing it.

Not a drug dealer, but a weed guy from 2005 to 2018. Has his world gotten easier or harder? My, not to make it too hot, but one of my cousins is a weed guy. And he said that like, and it's in California, and even with like medical marijuana and now recreational marijuana,

he's selling, he went from like selling, you know, weed and baggies and stuff to now he's selling plants because people can grow plants now. So he like grows a plant and then it's just like buying a cactus at a stop and shop. Like people are buying plants from him. But he still does it illegally.

Oh, really? Yeah. Because he doesn't have a license. Right. And you're like getting into a store. He just like sells it. Interesting. You just got him arrested.

Really? I don't even know his name. And I never said he. I actually did. Why'd you wink at me if you got someone in trouble? Frankie, you're under arrest. Sorry, Frankie. All right. You know what you're getting yourself into Sorry, Frankie. All right.

You know what you're getting yourself into, pup. Get weed elsewhere. Let's take a break. Thanks to sponsors. We'll be back with more questions after this.

And the best part of football season is checking out the post-game stats. I want to know which wideout scored more than two tutties, which QB threw for less than 350 yards. And if you think you can pick who will do what before the kickoff, then you should play pick six from DraftKings, which is an official daily fantasy partner of the NFL. Wow. So if you like watching football, and it sounds like you do. I do. Yeah, I do a lot. This can really heighten your joy.

That's right. I grew up a Raiders fan. And now I'm just a fan of the league in general. But I still have... You're a fan of gambling. Enough. Yes, of course. You're a fan of gambling in general. Yes. And I do have an affinity for the silver and black. So if you like football as much as me which is not likely because i do know a lot like do you know what a nickelback uh does in a cover two defense or like do you know what a play action passes like these are like some advanced things that i know that you wouldn't i basically know

run and hail mary you actually know both of those? Yeah, running is when you run, and then Hail Mary is when you chuck it, right? Damn. I think you should download the DraftKings Pick 6 app. Select between two and six players. I have a sure thing for you to put some money on.

And we're back. Jake, do you have any? Oh, it's a little sooner than I can. Mom, I'm coming. Gross. Check out our new soccer podcast. Ever heard of it? Yeah.

It's actually a football podcast. Right, right, right. But it's good to label it a soccer podcast because otherwise, how do you differentiate if you say we're starting a football podcast? People are going to expect NFL. Yeah, we still don't have a name for it at the time of this recording. You're leaning towards wannabe hooligans. I like wannabe hooligans. Or, oh no, I like new hooligans.

New hooligans. I like wannabe hooligans. Or, oh no, I like new hooligans. New hooligans. That's my pitch. Well, anyway, regardless of what it's called, there's a, we're starting an English Premier League, I don't want to say full sub podcast, but it's more like a subcast. It's like a limited run podcast within our feed. We don't know how limited the run

is going to be. That's right, because we don't know how big of fans we're going to end up becoming. Yeah, I might want to watch forever. So the goal here is to, one, we're American sports fans trying to get into soccer. We're talking to friends and English Premier League

football fans trying to decide which will be our team to root for. Sometimes our friends are new fans as well. Sometimes they're diehard fans of a specific club and they're, we're going to be trying to like pick their brains about one football at large and two, who specifically we should be rooting for.

Correctamundo. And right now I think we're both leaning for, uh, towards a boner mouth. Yeah. A mispronunciation of Bournemouth, which is like, I guess a team in the English Premier League.

But we talked to Rahul, who is a huge Liverpool fan, and that'll be our debut episode, which is online right now, even in this feed, as well as our Patreon feed. And then every subsequent episode is going to be in our Patreon feed.

So you got to go to patreon.com slash JA. And if you sign up there, there's an RSS feed that you can subscribe to. It's got the bonus content of Jake and Amir Watch, and if I were you, every other Thursday bonus episode. So even if you just want to listen to this podcast, you're going to get all this other shit for free. Exactly. The goal is to put as much

other shit for free onto... Sorry, the goal is to put... Exactly. So the goal is to put as much other shit for free on to... That's right. The goal is to put... Exactly. So the goal is to put as much other shit as possible on our Patreon. So you're getting the footy podcast. You're getting the If I Were You. You're getting the Jake and Amir watch. And we're putting it all there at the $4.99 tier. Right.

And we're also inching towards our stretch goal of releasing your groomsman speech from my wedding. So if you've been on the fence and you want to listen to the soccer, football, excuse me, podcast. Very good. Watch your mouth. Wait, should I call it podcast? Let's call it a subcast. Okay, football subcast. Then you can also help in releasing that speech.

Exactly. A little bit of everything. You help yourself, you help the community writ large. And if you want to hear us talking, learning about football, then you can check it all out at patreon.com slash JA. But I should say, once again,

the episode with Rahul is probably right above or below this episode in our standard, if I were you. Check it out. See if it's for you. There's a lot of stuff

that I like about soccer. Sorry, football. The fact that it's 20 clubs, everybody plays every team twice, one at home, that's for you. There's a lot of stuff that I like about soccer. Sorry, football. The fact that it's 20 clubs, everybody plays every team twice, one at home, one away, very simple schedule.

The fact that the bottom two or three teams get relegated to the minor leagues is a very fun wrinkle. Yes. And then there's some shit that's like,

whoa, what are you talking about? How does that make sense at all? And it's like the fact that there's no playoff, the fact that a team can win the entire thing like two weeks, three weeks before the season. And it's like the fact that there's no playoff, the fact that a team can win the entire thing like two weeks, three weeks before the season ends.

Yeah, and the fact that there's just like five other leagues going on while this one's going on. So if you're like a really good team, you're going to be playing three or four matches a week. Yeah, every team doesn't play the same amount of matches because they're in some other leagues too. That doesn't make sense. But we're learning about clubs.

We're learning about players, which ones are hot, which ones have the most jacked calves. Yes. Shaqiri. Shout out to Shaqiri. And then we can... Shaqiri. Shaqiri.

Nice. And we can start watching the actual matches. These calves don't lie. Nice. That's actually a good song for him because another thing we learned is that most players have songs which are just parodies of popular songs that everyone sings at the same time.

And I really, I thought there were, I guess Ruggles just maybe didn't know, but we haven't heard what the drinking songs are yet. That's what I want. In addition to the player songs. Yeah. Like the chants where people are drinking. Yeah, that's what I want.

I'm going to go with whoever has the best chug-a-beer chant. I'm sure there's fans that are most famous for drinking, partying, hooliganry behavior. Yeah, who's the wildest fans? I don't know. Who would you say in baseball or football? Philly or Boston or something? Yeah, probably. Yeah. I think for both of those things yeah um but you do you want to be the equivalent of a philly boston van

i don't think that there are total like there i feel like in in england there just aren't philly boston equivalents really or are they all philly boston equivalents, really. Or are they all Philly-Boston equivalents? Let's find out on this magical journey together. Let us know. What we really need is someone who, this is rare, someone who knows the Premier League insanely well and also Major League Baseball. And they could bridge the gaps.

Or the NFL, even. Yeah, probably. Yeah. If they knew, if we could find somebody that knows basketball and football as well as they know the EPL? I think one of my friends is like that.

He's a huge NBA fan and English Premier League fan. He doesn't know about baseball or football at all. Who is this? Ben Shin. Ben Shin. Yeah, his dad is British, grew up as a Manchester United fan, also a Laker fan.

So you can maybe draw some parallels between the two. Maybe we could talk to him. And it would be cool to talk to patrons, people that sign up and listen to the podcast. Maybe we could talk to them. And it'd be cool to talk to patrons, people that sign up and listen to the podcast. Maybe we can Skype some of them in and they can, you know,

like I want to find a Bournemouth, aka Bonermouth fan. Oh yeah, we could do like a live stream where we call somebody. I wonder how, yeah,

I just have so many questions. Like those smaller teams that I've never heard of, like Bournemouth or Wolves, how many fans do they have? Is it like 80,000 or is it still millions of fans? I feel like it's still a lot because they, think about like if Bournemouth gets relegated.

Rule was saying that the second tier was also really competitive and really good. So like in theory, Bournemouth could be the top of the second tier. That'd be cool if the NBA did that because there's a G League where teams like Albuquerque and the South Bay Lakers and Austin has a team.

So if Austin won the G League and then it's like, now there's an Austin NBA team for that season. Right, but then your Lakers could be relegated. They would never. They're in last right now. Instead, with the NBA, the worst teams are rewarded with the best college players yeah that's and that's why there's tanking in the nba and not in the english premier league so maybe they are onto something um all right and should we get back to

it i guess my other unsolicited advice we already talked about which was get a grind guard if you're grinding your teeth right right right uh here's kind of an interesting tale that I wanted to get into after the break, and here we are. My best friend's amateur porn. This is a question or a tale? No, it's a movie I wanted to pitch you. Do you have another female dog's name? Just because that's the theme.

Right. Female dog's name? Just because that's the theme. Right. Female dog's name. I feel like I should. Lassie? Yeah, Lassie. Was Lassie a woman? Sorry.

Was Lassie a female dog? Was Lassie a woman? Was Lassie a woman? Or a man? Who underdrank a potion to become a dog? I think Lassie was woman. Lassie a woman. Or a man. Who underdrank a potion to become a dog. I think Lassie was a dog. Yeah. A female dog. She was not a woman.

But yeah, she was a female dog. And Flipper? Female dolphin? I think Flipper was a woman. Flipper was a mermaid. All right. Lassie writes, long time listener, first time emailer. I'm 21 year old from the US of A and my best friend has been pursuing a career in the sex industry. At the moment, she works in sex education and nude modeling. My. I'm obviously going to support whatever she decides to do. However, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I don't think I'd watch if she does.

It's just a little weird to me. He then said to me, okay, I could just watch it alone. I don't consider watching porn cheating, but I'm definitely uncomfortable with my boyfriend watching my best friend's porn, considering we hang out frequently and we've both known her for years. Is this wrong? He said he wouldn't watch it if I didn't want him to, but he mentioned that he didn't see why I would find it wrong. He even said that it wouldn't be cheating if he watched watched it, if you know what I mean, since we both don't think watching porn is cheating. What do you guys think? Is

watching porn a whole different situation when you know the person? Is this on the same level as cheating or something entirely different? Thanks. Love, Lassie. The real thing to know is just that he's going to watch it. It sounds like he's already J-O in anticipation.

Yeah. I appreciate all the questions, and we can definitely talk about everything but he is watching the porn is it cheating is it weird is it wrong is it bad it's weird maybe it's a little i mean it is weird it makes her feel weird so it's a little weird it has to be a little weird you can't say it's not weird at all yeah it's three people hanging out one of them has seen the other fucking on camera right one. And one of them hasn't. So there's that.

Yeah. Wrong. No, it's not. Porn being cheating is the most absurd fucking thing in the world today. What about if you know the person? Does that change anything? Jang-o to a person you know. Jang-no. It's J-ing-no.

It's called jacking-no. I still don't think that's cheating. Not cheating. Weird. It's always, it's like weird, illicit, inappropriate, uncomfortable. But it is, it's in the genre of cheating, right? Because it's a sexual act by yourself with this person. Is it cheating to like picture somebody else

while you're having sex? Or is it just weird? Is it considered- Or is it like a private thing? Is it like perfectly fine and it's only weird when you make it public? Let me ask you this. Is it cheating to picture somebody else

while you're having sex with somebody else? So he's fucking a different person, but imagining it's his girlfriend. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. It all depends on who you're imagining. As long as you're thinking of your girlfriend.

So is it cheating if you're looking at someone else while you cum? Even in your mind's eye. Virtual reality. Even if you are physically cheating. As long as you shut your eyes and you see nothing. And you yell. And think of your beloved.

Yeah, I feel like virtual reality is going to throw a whole new set of rules at this. I think that's why porn and masturbating and all that stuff is just like, it makes everybody else so weird. And it's also weird once you speak of it, that it's like, just keep it to yourself. This guy should have never, ever been like, oh, all right, you're not going to watch the porn? Then I'm going to watch the porn. I'll watch it by myself. And it's not cheating if I jerk off to it. Just so we're all clear.

I agree with his thesis, but not his action. You shouldn't have said anything. But then how do you compromise that with the idea that you should be open and honest and overt and tell your partner everything? I don't think that you should be open and honest and overt and tell your partner everything. There you go. Everybody, I think... At least you're not a hypocrite. The world is healthier with privacy and secrets. That's cool. The world is healthier with secrets.

It is. That's a cool shirt. Secret secrets are some fun as long as they are for me. Secrets secrets hurt no one. Secret secrets are so fun. Why I could think of 10 secrets right now that would ruin everything.

Oh, Frankie, don't look. It's okay. He's asleep next to you. So you say, it's a little weird. It's not cheating. You shouldn't have said anything. Well, the guy shouldn't have said anything. I think all that this girl can do is return things to the status quo and just let it all be unsaid.

This is what people... Bury it deep. Forget it. Lobotomy, lobotomy, brainstem. Build your wall high and thick. Forget, forget, forgetful. This is what people who have spoken to in open relationships, this is their selling point.

They're like, relationships have so many secrets and so many all this. I don't want any secrets. I want an open relationship where I can flirt with someone else that's not cheating, fuck someone else that's not cheating, but still get the relationship.

Right. Yeah. Open relationships are just like relationships where people freely hurt each other and make each other feel uncomfortable. That's what an open relationship is to me. That's the pure open, it's like the opposite of this secret.

I can be honest and say, I don't want to fuck that person. And my, my boyfriend or girlfriend has to just sort of accept that. Yeah. There is something to that. I just, yeah, maybe. I don't know. But I don't know how you find enough people on earth to be like completely like i don't know you can go play tennis with someone and you can also fuck someone

and that doesn't feel anything different for me everybody i've ever met in an open relationship has like one person that's like that that's like very zen and cool and one person that is sort of pretending that they are that yeah while they're also secretly dying inside as their partner fucks whoever they want. That's right. It's like one person's like, by the way, I'm only into open relationships. And then one person's like,

I've never tried it before, but it sounds pretty cool. But I'm so obsessed with you that I'm willing to hurt myself and see if it works. Turns out it didn't. The thing is these- Turns out I was filled with jealousy.

These true openers have to find each other. The rare case where like the one in a hundred of I like open relationships and then it's like I also do it too. Yeah. Those are the people that have to find each other. I think like even when two openers find each other and like somebody always just ends up liking someone else a little bit more and gets a little bit jealous. Yeah. How is it? How do you turn off the jealousy part of your brain entirely? Which is sort of what she's asking.

Do you think watching porn is a whole different situation when you know the person? Is this on the same level as cheating or something entirely different? Basically, she thinks it's weird, but we're saying it's not cheating. Yeah, it's weird. It is weird. And you have to either forget that this conversation happened which is nearly impossible has he tried sleeping on it like imagine if you just went to bed and woke up and it's a new day and it's like oh now that conversation conversation is less on my mind and more of a memory. Yeah.

I think that's what has to happen. I mean, in a way, this, so let's just take her boyfriend, for example. Uh-huh. He could jerk off to anything he so desires. He could, like, Photoshop a weird picture of your mother and jerk off to that if he wants to uh so the fact that he is doing this thing that makes you feel weird which is still pretty squarely in the realm of normal stuff like just jerking off to porn you happen to know the person and he's being so um blatant and honest with you probably uh to his own detriment it means you sort of have like a stand-up guy, maybe.

I think he's stupid, but I think... He's honest? Yeah. He's kind of like a Chris Klein character in American Pie, like this big, naive doof. Right. He could just straight up be cheating on you, but you know that he's not doing that because he's so dumb and honest that he told you he was going to masturbate to your friend's porn. Imagine the opposite, where he's actually doing, like, would you rather a sweet boy who is secretly doing things behind your back, or a guy who's so naive and pro-honesty that he's like, yeah, I'm going to watch and jerk off to your best friend in a porn. Which is my theory is that everybody does this stuff, like jerks off to a weird porn or like some, you know, it's all, it's also personal and perverted.

So there, everyone's doing it. And there's some people that are like cool enough to not say anything. Cool enough to not say anything is a very funny way to put it. But there's like, whoa, that guy's so cool. He's not saying anything. Sweet boy does perverted thing or honest boy does perverted thing but it's not everyone's doing a perverted thing it's more like what's your preference on how your life gets lived like do you want to know the perverted thing is happening or do you want to know what do you

want it to not do you want to not know you're pro secrets i'm pro secrets big time pro secrets i wonder if that's a considered an unpopular opinion. Probably. It's definitely unpopular among the people I keep secrets from. Of course. They wouldn't want that. Nobody wants to be on the other side of the secrets. But then you just got to tell yourself, they got secrets too, and I don't want to know about them.

So it's treating others how I want to be treated. Right. I want other people to have secrets from me. That's the best part. I don't want to know the things that hurt me. Then it's like guilt-free secrets. Keep it to yourself, motherfucker. Don't tell me this shit. Keep it as a secret.

I actually have a secret for you. Really? Yeah, but I was going to keep it. I don't want to tell you. Okay. Wait. Force it out of me. Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle.

I jerked off. Oh, jeez. I jerked off to your best friend. I didn't want to know that. See? Well, your best friend of me. Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle. I jerked off. Oh, jeez. I jerked off to your best friend. I didn't want to know that. See? Well, your best friend is me, so I was sort of staring at myself in a mirror. I mean, I definitely didn't want to know that. That doesn't make it better.

All right. I'll bleep it and see if you can forget it going forward. All right. We're out of time. Thanks for listening. Thanks for checking out the Patreon, the soccer subcast, the football podcast, the live shows. All of it. All of it.
