before we get started into today's episode. This has been playing on my mind for the last 24 hours because I keep hearing this on TikTok and I think, wow, I need, you know, I don't have that I always need savagery.

to be done to you? No, no. Why would I need that? I don't know. No, no, no, no, no. To be an activist of savagery, I need to act out savagery sometimes if I'm like, I can't be the bad guy. I can't do it. Sometimes people piss me off and I'm like,

Bro, I can't be, okay, that's actually a lie. If I'm confident in the fact that you actually done something like... Yeah, it's all right, it's averagey. I can be dark, but also CBA. So I'd rather just walk off. Okay. And as I'm gonna throw hands, I'd rather just walk off. Okay. But I keep hearing, and I keep seeing it, you know that it's from, was it Sake Diarrhythm? Which bar?

I had the weed too hard. Yeah. You left an eight minute voicemail straight from the heart. I reply like, yeah, whatever. When can you come get your stuff? I need it out of my crib. This is bringing bad luck. Yeah. Big man, that's savagery. You know, eight minutes is. Drake is petty.

He's petty when he wants to. I love it. He's fucking petty, bro. You sent an eight minute voice note straight from the heart. I replied like, yeah, whatever. When can you come get your stuff? Bro, yeah, I wouldn't be able to, I couldn't receive an eight minute voice from the former love of my life being like, babe, please, please, like, think about this time, think about that time. What did we go through? What was it for? And I replied like, yeah, whatever. When you come in to get your shit,

Yeah, it's bringing bad luck when it's when you come to get I would expect my house to be blown up in the next I fear consequence way too much. Yeah. Yeah, that's savage. Yeah We're over and you're sending man eight minute voiceless. I don't have the strength Mm-hmm to be like yeah, whatever come get your shit. That's I know my cars are scraps. Yeah, that's demonic. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like I need that man. Yeah, cuz people be doing shit like they do man, but it's

I feel like that also allows you to cope with things just get through life differently. Not even necessarily being petty, because Drake is petty in general when he comes to these bars. But I feel like that level of savagery isn't petty. I feel like he's just cutthroat. Yeah, he's just cutthroat. That's not even petty, he's just cutthroat. And sometimes, fuck your eight minute voicemail. Bro, sometimes people live a better life being cutthroat. Yeah. In certain instances.

To be fair, I used to have an X where we had a real toxic. Whilst we were broken up, real toxic back and forth. She used to send man like seven, eight to 10 minute voicemails. And sometimes I would, I'm not gonna lie, if I'm gonna hit it in a moment, I'd be like, you're a joke man, if you think I'm listening to that.

Yeah, I would let her know I would probably see it. I'll be like eight minutes or forty eight seconds You're a joke man if you think I'm listening to that. Oh, yeah burn her you've just wasted Precious time just listen to that shit. Yeah facts

I wish there was a way for the recipient to know when your chat's been deleted. Because I would receive an eight minute voice and I'd be like, yeah, yeah. Chat deleted. Chat deleted. They should need the notification to say chat deleted. Chat deleted, yeah. The same way you've been removed from a bootstrap. Yeah, it should break down. There's a scene in.

There's a scene in Arkane, because I'm rewatching Arkane now. Yes, I remember you saying that. There's a scene in Arkane in episode two or whatever, where, you know, when they're still kids, before they go up, before the sisters grow up to be jinx and via whatever, when they're kids.

What's her name? Powder, her name, the bluehead thing is powder when she's a kid. When she gets left there, when they go to save their dad, and she gets left in the room because she keeps fucking shit up, she has a mental breakdown. She has a breakdown. And...

That same thing about notification saying chat's been deleted. That's exactly what the kind of breakdown I'm trying to try to like initiate. Yeah, I'm trying to incite that because sometimes, bro, I be.

Don't get me wrong. I've done some horrible things in my life. Some real not nice things, but it's part of growing up. But one thing that's been consistent is I just don't know how to be an asshole on purpose. Especially when it's warranted and needed. And I just can't do it. And sometimes I think that's a positive, but sometimes I'm like, am I just a mug? Nah, I just feel like you're too much of a nice person, even though in this moment you're being an asshole.

Do you see what I'm saying? It's hard to have that bone in your body. I don't have the bone. Yeah, it's okay. Yeah, I guess I have to come to terms. I just don't have that bone. It's also bone. Yeah, I don't have it, bro. Intentionally, anyway. Yeah. I've been also by accident. Yeah. Everyone can. Yeah. Yeah. I'm walking on ice. Yeah. I'm going to slip. Facts. Facts. No, I'm only human wrong. I'm going to slip. But you're intentionally? No, I can't do it. I can't.

Just imagining it is like fuck I wouldn't be able to get through it. Yeah, I wouldn't because I will start being an officer will see you break down about it. Stop. Yeah, why? Come on. It's fine. I mean, it's my car. Oh my god. Yeah, it's my car. Make yourself happy, man. Come on, man. Fuck's sake. Oh, it's a for us. Get this just clean up.

It's so crying. Yeah, I can't handle it. It pisses me off. I've never had that burn in my body, bro. People have had that to me. It's a good thing. Yeah, people have had it to me too. And they feel like they got away with it. He's laughing now.

I'm just saying stuff. I'm saying stuff. I'm just saying stuff. You are saying stuff. You are saying stuff. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Wow. You had that long delodious as I brought it up. So guys, we're going to do a special episode today. And we're just going to do straight dilemmas throughout the episode. And how many dilemmas do you have today? I have four, I believe. I three, but.

Mike on with a twist. Okay. So obviously you've got four dilemmas. I've got three. So you go first, then I'll go, you go first, but I'll go. But mine are dilemmas that I've written and they are movies. So I am writing on behalf of a character in a movie explaining their dilemma to us and I want you to guess what movie it is.

Okay. Okay. I see where you're going with this pen game nowadays. Yeah. Who am I? The fucking say less the other day. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. Why can we your pen game? Say less. I'm trying, bro. Yeah, man. You're trying to, you're trying to get that new, uh, that new attribute. Yeah. You like to hear it. Yeah. I'm trying to write some. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We like to hear something else. I want to make money elsewhere. Yeah. Who needs a script? Yeah, bro. I'm offering up three services right now. Who needs a script? I want to make money elsewhere.

We love to hear it. Yeah, great is bad Yeah, I want to make money elsewhere, bro. I'm tied down I'm tied down to you in this chat money elsewhere

Fuck. Yeah, fuck it out. All right, cool. So it's a lemonade guy. Lemonade, right. So my first one, I'm gonna go through it and we'll see if you can, obviously we can help with the dilemma and also see if you can guess what movie it is.

I've just realized, so you said these are character situations in a movie, but so the dilemma is really fake. The dilemma is fake. Okay, cool, cool, cool. The dilemma is fake. All right. So I'll be speaking on behalf as a character of each movie. Okay. Right, first one I think is pretty easy. Title of this dilemma is my wife thinks I'm a fucking idiot and a charity case. Wow.

Yeah, my wife thinks I'm a fucking idiot at a charity case. So, dilemma. My wife and I have known each other since we were kids. I used to get bullied a lot and she would always jump in to save me. As we got older, I feel like it was her who needed to save in, and I was more than happy to be her knight in shining armour.

But she's never appreciated what I did for her and would always remind me that I'm the idiot and I'm the one who needs to help. For a few years, as we got older, we didn't see each other. And over that time, I became a very successful entrepreneur and a national celebrity. She saw this and obviously came running back to me because she had no other viable options at the time.

I, of course, accepted this as I knew she was my one true love. Even though I finally have her to myself, I can still see that she can only see me as that joke man that she grew up with. How do I get her to respect me as a competent, successful, wealthy superstar? Advice. I actually don't know what movie this is. Interesting. Nice. I'm glad. Do any of you? No. Very nice.

That's made my day. Advice first and foremost. I feel like it's one of those ones where I think his ego came into play when he realized that she ran back to him. It's like, it's not even ego, it's more pride than anything. And he should have

Well then again, if it's true love of his life, it's one of those ones where you feel like, yeah, I'm here now, she wants me, I've always wanted her. So let's just make it work, but then she's now belittling them again, making them feel like the mug of the yard.

Welcome to Yada! That's jokes. It's techie, man. What was he saying? How does he get over this? No. How can he make her see him for the success that he is as opposed to the joke man she grew up with? Joke man is crazy. Random. When chunks call someone a joke man, it's the funniest thing I've heard.

Yeah, he says it strong. Yeah every time joke man joke man joke about it joke man It's a funny shit, bro. I got handed it. Oh Good Make her see him as the successful man he is today. I Mean ultimately I feel like is one of those ones where you can't

She has seen that he is successful. That's why she came back. So she already knows he's in a much better position than where he used to be when they were together back in the day. Obviously, like you said, they've known each other since there were kids or they grew up together wherever. So the sheer fact that she's staying with him now isn't purely. I don't think it's because of

I don't think it's because of how she feels about his status. It's more so about how the public feel about his status. That's why she's now with him. That makes sense. So it's one of those ones where she's with him for the clout and where it can take her. She still sees him as the joke man. She still sees him as, oh, you're the the oldest guy that I used to run around with back in the day.

But ultimately, you love me more than I love you. That's what I'm seeing from this. That's 100%. That's 100%. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So it's like you said, yeah, that's it. I don't think there's advice for you, bro. Ultimate. I feel like we don't condone this, but I feel like you just got to spread your wings, man.

She's got to spread your wings and let her know what man she's actually really missing as opposed to what you bring to the table. Fair play. You know? Fair play. Cool. I like that. What movie is this? Forest Gump. I don't remember. I've seen a movie once in my life. I don't remember it. It's a fucking movie. I genuinely don't remember it.

Forrest Gump. Fair play. Jenny is a fucking bitch and I don't care what anyone says. I fucking hate Jenny. I was never getting that. Fair play. But damn. Damn. That's harsh man. Damn. It's a slight twist because actually Jenny dies. And she leaves man with a U. I don't remember that. You don't remember Jenny dies. She takes the piss roll. So basically.

They grow up together, he's getting bullied because he's a bit dumb, and he can't run, his legs are mucked. So the other kids kick the shit out of him all the time, and then Jenny was always bopping it, bopping out like, cool, cool, cool. She grows up, turns into a little baddie, and she wants to be a little hippie thing.

So while my man's in the army, she's getting clotted by waste men all the time and getting gripped up because she's singing naked in a bar or some shit. And then Forrest has to start tumping up, man, because they're moving a bit handsy. And then she's always like, fuck off, fuck off.

Like, you're always moving mad, bro, just chill. And he's like, well, I love you, Jedi. And then she's like, oh, piss off, you're a joke. And then he goes and runs bubblegum shrimp. He creates the fucking smiley face logo. He runs across America. He plays for the USA ping pong team, plays in the Olympics, bro. First there's no joke, bro. It's a super millionaire, everything, bro.

Yeah, when she's done running around like a little tart and dealing with dickheads her whole life, she comes back to forest, they settle down, they get married, but she just does it as a little consolation thing, because she knows that he loves her so much, and they have a eute. Once they have a eute, she dies, bro, leaves them with a eute. It's long.

What a life. Yeah, first comes dark, man. What a life, fuck's sake. I wish that one anyone. Damn. Yeah, it's rough. Cool. I've got a second, am I the also? I'm either also for kicking my brother out of my home after he invited our estranged father over without asking. Okay. I, 28 female, have been estranged from my father, 55 male, for the last 10 years.

He was abusive growing up and after years of therapy and healing, I made the decision to come out of my life completely. My brother, 24, however, has always maintained a relationship with him and while I don't agree with it, I've tried to respect their bond. I've made it clear though that I don't want him in my life and I don't want to hear about him. A few weeks ago, my brother visited me at my house.

We were hanging out when he suddenly mentioned that he was planning to bring our dad over to patch things up with me. I was shocked and told him that under no circumstances should our father be coming to this house. I even made it clear to him that I wasn't interested in talking to him whatsoever.

Fast forward to yesterday. My brother shows up with our dad. You're taking a piss at me. I was furious. You're taking the absolute piss at me. I immediately told them both to leave and that my brother has completely disrespected my boundaries. My brother tried to apologise saying that he just wanted to fix things and thought he was the best way to do it. Wow.

I told him that he had no right to make that decision for me and that I never wanted to see our father again. My brother left but he's now texting me saying I overreacted and that he was just trying to help me heal. He says it's not fair to cut off the chance for reconciliation.

I'm feeling really torn, because while I know I'm within my rights to not want him in my life, I also don't want to ruin my relationship with my brother. But at the same time, my boundaries are important to me. So, am I the arse of for kicking my brother out of my house and refusing to talk to our father? No, bro. That's standard. Yeah. Man said I thought it was the best way. So just brought him anyway. You've lost, you've actually lost your fucking mind.

Think about it as you and your brother or me and my sister, would you? If my brother, me and my dad, I don't like my dad. My brother comes around and is like, oh, I've been chatting to dad. He's being chatting to you. Oh yeah, obviously you know I've been chatting to dad, me and dad are boys. I know you guys have had a rough back, but he really wants to make it up. I'm thinking about bringing him over so you guys can patch things up. And I say to my brother, don't you dare. I have no interest, big man. Like you man do your thing, I don't care.

Two weeks later, as a knock on my door, and my brother on my dad on my door, and I say, bro, fuck off, what you doing? He's like, oh, I decided this is the best thing to do. On front of hands on everyone. I'll put paws on everyone, bro. It's peak in it. It's peak, bro. And now you're making me look like a dickhead in front of my dad.

because you look like your little angels trying to sort us out and you're making me look like the bastard because I have to now tell him to fuck off and I have to tell you to fuck off when you've come in with your tail between your legs. Now I have to feel like a guilty prick by sending yourself along the way when you shouldn't have brought me on the first place. And now you wanna text me again and be like, whoa, you're overreacted. Don't tell me how to feel. Don't tell me how to feel. Don't tell me how to feel, bro. 100% you can fuck yourself big man. That's so jarring because it's now you've

Obviously you've lost your dad, but now you've lost your brother. Or for the meantime. My brother would have to hear me. And then be like, me and you are cool. Don't talk about him again. This whole, you're over here. You're still talking about him. What are you talking about?

I don't know. I have to pretend like the whole situation didn't happen. This whole, you overreacted. Don't know what you're talking about. That's the only way we can be for this relationship. I don't know who or what you're on about. Do you think because of what has happened, it will make you think, oh, maybe I can try to repatch things with Pops? No, because I don't care about him. That literally makes it worse. That whole thing made it worse. Yeah, but 100%. I don't care about this guy. I didn't even want to see him. Now I've seen him on my doorstep. Now he knows where I live. Like, what is this?

What actually is it? I don't care about this, bro. I don't want to patch it up like what the fuck like that's That's crazy because imagine if you imagine just seeing it the same as like an X. Mm-hmm like imagine like Imagine your sister just brings your ex to your yard years later and just like I just think you guys should patch things up. You'll be like what do you want about? I don't care what you think

What the fuck do you think? It's my life. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Matter of fact, why are you in contact? Yeah, facts, man, shut up. Go away. Yeah, damn. And what, you get to just drop him on my doorstep and you think you're just going to fuck off and leave me to do with this? Nah. You've lost your mind. Don't open that Pandora's box for me. Yeah, bro. I don't need that. Fair play. That's fucked. Fair play, that is fucked. Damn, that's crazy. That is fucked. Right, my next one. So the title of this dilemma.

My wife is a sociopathic, manipulative, lying piece of shit, and she wants to ruin my life. Okay. Yeah. I feel like there's a trend here. Yeah. I feel like there's a trend here. I feel like there's a trend here. And I was like, Dan, the next one needs to be different. Yeah. Yeah. I felt like that as I was writing this out for me again. My wife is a sociopathic, manipulative, lying piece of shit, and she wants to ruin my life.

Okay. Ready? Yeah. So, my wife and I have been quote unquote happily married for many years. But since I lost my job, our relationship hasn't had the same spark it once did. My wife's family is very wealthy and I live off of her inheritance whilst I look for new employment.

I sit at home and play video games all day and I can see she resents me for it. She looks at me like a lazy leech and I can't stand it. So recently, I started banging this younger thing and she's given me a new lease of life.

I woke up this morning with the impression my wife might have found out about the affair as the police have found blood all over my floors and they're looking at me for the murder. She's trying to ruin my life. How do I expose her vengeful psychosis? So the wife murdered there's been a murder. It's been a murder. So I'm going to tell you there's been a murder. I'm not going to tell you who it is. Yeah. There's been a murder.

that the wife is orchestrated, and they're looking at the husband. Yeah, because there's blood on the dance floor. Because there's blood all over the gaff. OK. And he doesn't know which way is up. All he knows is that the wife's found out that he's been clotted in the next thing. But is it the certain this? I'm not willing to say who or what has been murdered. OK. Again, I don't know what this movie is. So well, OK. Fair play.

I mean, is there advice? Fuck, is there advice for this? He's in a pickle. He's finished, he's finished. He's cooked. He's cooked. Yeah, like he's cooked it. He's cooked it. He's in a pickle bro. He is in a pickle bro. Is there advice for this? Yeah, he's in a deep pickle. He's in a deep pickle. How does one help someone with this?

Because I really, really don't know. Because ultimately he's in the wrong. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Of course he is. Ultimately he's in the wrong. He's in the wrong, bro. He's leeching off his wife's family. In her eyes, he's a bum because he's not getting a job. He's now finding a new lease of life by cutting a younger team. And that's giving him more like them to do stuff.

Lo and behold, he wakes up one day, there's blood somewhere, and he has a feeling that his wife knows that he's clotting the next thing, and someone's dead. Yeah, and she wants the wife's trying to pin it on him. The wife's trying to pin it off. It's revenge for cheating. I mean, he's got to find an escape. There's no advice to help the situation. He's got a dart. He's got to find a way to escape.

I'm trying to be him right now, putting myself in his shoes. And I really would panic. Do you man have more facts? I would panic. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And to give a little bit more context to the situation, it's not just the blood. She's planted evidence for all kinds of schemes.

And it's all, all fingers are pointing at him. But do you think that's fair? Cheat into what she's doing? No, but they think it's fair. I know I've heard how y'all... Yeah. Yeah, they think it's fair. I don't think it's fair. It's not. But also...

Yes, because I live off of your parents' wealth. Okay, that's to be, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I live off your parents' wealth. That's the caveat. And now I want to fuck a next thing. Yeah, you can eat enough of me and then you're going to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or eat enough of me and then you're eating next man's cock. Yeah. Never. Never. Never. Never. You're going to jail. I'm a plot show on you. I'm a plot show on you. You're going to prison. Yeah. That's criminal activity. Also fuck fair. Yeah. Life ain't fair. Fuck fair.

Yeah, fair went out the window when you left this house. Wait, I'm trying to think of, I know... Is this a movie or is this a series? It's a movie. I don't know what you're thinking. You think you know what I was thinking? Yeah, it was a presumed innocent. No, that was why I first thought when he first started talking about it. I knew it wasn't. The video games are spinning me. Yeah.

That's something that I would pick up from a movie because I... It's really a small part of this movie, you really wouldn't pick up. Oh, okay, fair.

But yeah, advice wise, I don't think there is advice. I feel like it's one of those ones where he's made his bed. He's got a somewhat laying it or find a way to escape. I hope that's what happened in the movie. I hope he found a way to escape or find a way to flip it. So like, listen, babes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know you did what you had to do, but like clean slate, let's start again. You know, I'm a finder job and we can work things out. That's what happens in this movie. Okay, pretty much find a job and we can work things out. I'm sorry for banging next thing. But what movie is this?

So for context, again, to help you find the movie, it might not help you find it, I'll tell you regardless. So it does happen as a clean slate, more so because whilst trying to do this to him, she finds herself in a pickle and now they're both in a pickle and it's better if we all just lower our swords and come back. Is her pickle a case of like she starts to have a flick with next man? I'm not willing to say.

But in the process of orchestrating something against her man, she has found herself in a pickle. He's now he's now fucked. She's now fucked. And it's better if they just bury the hatch and yeah.

I have no idea what this movie is. Want me to tell you? Yeah. Gone go. Oh, Ben Affleck. Yeah. Gone go. Gone go. Gone go. So he's cheating. She finds out she pretends that she's been murdered by him. Yeah. Goes puts all the evidence on him that he murdered his own wife. And then when she finds herself in our own fucking vehicle, she has to return from the dead. Come run and say that she got kidnapped by fucking, what's his face? I can't remember.

No, that's a different thing. It's the guy from How I Met Your Mother. Oh, Barney Stenson. Yeah, Neil Patrick Harris. Yeah, Neil Patrick Harris. Yeah, she has to kill Neil Patrick Harris. Pretend that Neil Patrick Harris kidnapped her. And Ben Affleck had nothing to do with it. And then go back to Ben Affleck. And Ben Affleck was like, you crazy fucking bitch. She was like, shut up, bro. Shut up and lip to me. Yeah. Fuckin' amazing movie. Yeah.

When I say I love this movie, I've seen it a few times. Yeah, she's crazy in that movie. Yeah, she played it well. Yeah, she really did. Damn fair play. Yeah, I was never getting that. Emily Watterkowski is the sighting. Ridiculous. Yeah, crazy. How greedy? Yeah, how greedy indeed? The fuck? Greedy is the word. Guys, let's take a very, very, very, very quick break because...

Let's get back to the episode. Let's next one. I'm either your soul for telling the teacher that our daughter will participate in a school play even though my wife was against it.

I, 38, Mel, am married to my wife, 38 female, and we have a daughter together. She's five. Our daughter started school this year, and she's doing fantastic. She's really coming along with her reading, writing, and confidence. My wife and I agree for the most part on decisions regarding our daughter, but this has absolutely split us to a point where we're arguing constantly about it.

My daughter was asked to take one of the main roles in a Christmas school play. I was excited for her and said that help her practice, et cetera. My wife, though, immediately told her she wasn't doing it, which upset her a bit. Her argument is that if she freezes, she'll be scared and ruin the play for everyone. My logic is that if you deem her to fail before she even tries, how would that encourage her to try new things in life?

I said that I would rehearse her all our lines with her, in brackets there were only 12 lines, and I'd do as much practice as she needs. My wife wasn't convinced, and told me to tell the teacher the next day that she's not doing it. When I got to the school though, I told the teacher that she would take part. My wife went ballistic when I told her. Better.

And again, I stood my ground and said that it's important for her to try new things. It's been frosty in here since. And whilst I don't regret my decision, I regret upsetting my wife. Am I the also for disregarding my wife's decision in this matter? So why again did she say she's not doing it? Selfish reasons. So she says her argument is that if she freezes, she'll be scared and ruin the play for everyone. That's the wife's logic behind it. The kid's phone. Yeah. Five-year-old's freeze.

Five-year-olds freeze. It's part of blue. Yeah, bro five-year-olds freeze boy. You got to get through that though. I feel like the mom is More concerned about how many marisole? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I suppose to anything else so I get selfish reasons

I think that's the selfish thing to do. I'll do what the dad did. I wouldn't... I wouldn't go behind my wife's back. I'll tell her on that day. She's doing the play. She wants to do the play. She wants to do the play. She's a fucking five-year-old. And if she freezes, she freezes. If you're scared of seeing her freeze, don't come. She's going to do the play. I'm going to be there supporting. In fact, it's my daughter we're talking about. She wants to do it, she'll do it.

Yeah, bro, and I'll do where yeah like he said I'll do whatever it takes to put in the best position possible Just tell you she's doing a fucking play fucks bro like be on her side. Yeah, bro And what's this whole negativity if she freezes if she freezes the fuck that's not my door. Yeah My door's not freezing not my door my door's not freezing

She's got to do that so well. Nah, bro. That would, that would, my protective instincts would stand up. There's no way I'm telling her like, okay, yeah, I'll go tell the teacher that she's not doing it and then be like, yeah, she's doing it. I'll tell her before, you know I'm going to tell her she's doing it, right? Just so you know, because I'm not even having any attitude when I get home. Facts. This discussion's done. Facts.

Wow, that's peak man. Yeah, like I said selfish reasons, man. Damn selfish. Fuck. Yeah fuck that woman more. That's fucked up. That is fucked up. My daughter's doing the play. I hope she did the play. I really hope she smashed it. I hope she smashed it and she froze. Peak. Life. Yeah. Life comes hard. Maybe the mama's right.

Should have been the tree. Sometimes we need to learn the hard way. Oh, God. Right. Last one from me. Yeah. All right. Title of this dilemma. My boyfriend is a simp with a terminal illness and I don't know how to leave. I started seeing my boyfriend a few months ago. Everything was great. He's not my usual type, but he's incredibly sweet, kind of funny. But most of all, he worships the ground I walk on.

I'm way out of his league, but I've dealt with only handsome arseholes my entire life. It's time for a change. He makes me feel special and I feel like I deserve that. Recently, I've been sleeping with a local artist on the side who allows me to get the fix of a real man that I need.

Eventually, I know I'll leave my boyfriend, but for now, I'm happy living this double life. Fast forward a few weeks, and my boyfriend has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I don't want to deal with this. He gave me the opportunity to leave, but I didn't want to sound like a bad person. So I decided to stay, and I'm regretting it more and more every day.

How do I get out of this without seeing me like the villain? The doctors have given him six more months, but I don't think I can wait that long and vice. I think I know this movie. I'm glad. Is it 50-50? It is 50-50. It is 50-50. Well fucking played. Yes. Well fucking played. Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm gassed. Fuck yes. Fuck yes. Well played, bro.

I'm even more proud of you because she's not the main character. Mmm, let's go. She's very much a side character. So yeah, well played. Well played, well played, well played. Yeah, 50-50. Yeah, I remember him shaving his head in the mirror like this. Oh, heartbreaking. Yeah, bro. Seth Rogen was there like, holy shit.

Good moving. I forgot the whole thing. I was too gassed. I got the movie. Yeah. So the dilemma was she's with her man. He's been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's already been fucking next man on the side. But when you got diagnosed, he's basically said to her, if you don't want to deal with this, you can leave.

Oh yeah, but she's still. Yeah, she stayed anyway. She can't. She felt too bad to leave a guy with cancer. And now she's been cheating on him. She can't deal with looking after him. He's going through chemo. He's throwing up. He's not sleeping. He's getting more and more butters by the day. And she's like, I need to get out of here. So wait, the perspective of this is from the girl. Yeah.

Wow, you really didn't listen, did you? You really didn't listen. I was locked in, but I wasn't locked in at the same time. You need me to get this movie. As soon as that clock was 50-50, I was thinking of him. Oh, right. This is from the perspective of the girl. Fuck. I mean, what's done is done. No, she's been cheating. So is that how to lock it?

I mean, can you lock someone that's on their deathbed? Damn! That's exactly where she was struggling with, bro. Damn, bro. I don't remember how the movie ended or how that part ended anyway. He started doing a thing with his psychiatrist, I think, because he was dealing with a grief counselor or whatever to deal with the potential of him dying, and then they started doing a thing.

Okay. Beautiful movie. Yes. Horror engine. It's got some bangers. Yeah, it's got some bangers. Damn, yeah. I'm happy you got that movie though. I was gassed. Yeah, I know you were. I was gassed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You weren't from the first sentence. I saw you take a deep breath after the first movie. No, I thought it was something else. I thought it was, what's that movie? I can't remember what the movie is called, but it's the guy that does the biopic of Stephen Hawking.

I thought that's what the movie was. It's um... Actor. Oh my god. The guy from Fantastic Beasts. Yes. Actor. What's that movie called? Uh, with Stephen Hawking, it is... The Theory of Everything. Theory of Everything. Yeah. He owns that role. Yeah. I thought it was that movie. Say less. I mean, I feel like... You have to be the asshole or see it to the end. Yeah, yeah. And I feel like my boy. Both of ways she's still an asshole because... Yeah, because of my what?

In life, like we've all been there, it's hard to rip that bandaid off. We've all been there, it's tough, it's difficult, so you'd rather just endure the pain of hurting yourself than hurting someone else or an extended family. So it's like how long, also, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, he stays in hospital at one point now. For his chemo sessions, he's in hospital for a bit. So it's like there's only so much she has to deal with

Yeah, in that time, you know, so there was one time where he left his chemotherapy and she was ours to pick him up He was sitting in the cold for hours. Oh my god. Yeah, she was late cuz she was getting kicked down by Nick. Oh my god. Yeah He sat in the cold for hours way for her. I thought it was dread you man. It was fucking dread. Oh

I think best case relevant the borders is relevant. I I know it's just I wasn't expecting I know I know it's bald hair. Yeah, bro I think her best case scenario is if she doesn't want to rip that bandaid off she has to

Continuously but subtly do asshole things. So he dumps her. That's the only way out of it. He's not dumping her. He has six months to do it. He's all he has. I know, but like... Yeah, yeah, yeah. He keeps getting taken for a mug. 100%. And he has to have... He's got to leave this earth. So he has to leave this earth with a bit of dignity. Do you know what I mean?

He's gonna leave this up soon. Leave it with a shred, with a shred of something. Because when you're watching your life back, when you're upstairs, it's gonna be like, bro, I was like, what was I doing? He took you for a mug, day in, day out. Yeah, and in that movie, bro, Sephiroth is screaming, she's mugging you off. Bro, and he doesn't wanna hear it. He doesn't wanna hear it, bro. He's saying to, I've got 50, 50, Seth. What am I supposed to do? What would you have me do?

The movie's horrible, man. I've got 50.

Oh, it moves horrible. Oh, it is. And then they break up and then he sleeps with a baddie. He sleeps with a baddie, but his back's hurting his shit. Oh, so he climbs in the bed? Yeah, he's like the baddie. Yeah, he's like the baddies riding him. And he's like, oh, fuck. Oh, my tumour in my back. And she's like, bro, and it sends him into depression. Oh, it sends him into depression. Oh, man. I need to watch my movie again, but I think I can. It's rough. Fuck.

I've never seen that. You've never seen 50. First of all, not surprised. Second of all, it's a deep movie. It's a movie. Fuck. I've seen it three times, I think. Damn. I'm guessing I'll go here though.

Yeah, I'm guess you got it as well. All right. Last one. My last one. This is a lengthy one, Paul. So I'm locked. Yeah, lock in. I'm either your soul for kissing a girl in front of two others I had previously hooked up with. To be clear, I'll be using the initials B, K, and J.

I'd been knocking it around with B for a couple of weeks. Nothing serious and we haven't slept together. Made it clear at the start it was nothing serious as well. She was aware and all was good. A few months before knocking around with B, I met Kay. We hooked up briefly but stopped talking and I hadn't heard from her for a while. I was on a Saturday night out with my mates at a place I'd normally drink at. I was bored, I went to the bar and that's where I met Jay.

She was just there chilling and we had a conversation. We ended up sitting next to each other and got to know one another.

Time passed and we shared a few drinks. I got up to get a drink and I saw B sit on the table with my friends. His friends. With my friends in brackets, she knows them as well. Okay, cool, cool, cool. I said hello. I said hello and I recognized the lady she was sitting next to, which happened to be K. What kind of small last town does this do live in, bro? They didn't know each other and met that night. What a coincidence.

Kay looked banging. Oh, of course she did. And I asked her to come to the bar for a drink. We had a conversation and he asked if she'd like to go out with me that night and she was on it. She mentioned she saw me talking to Jay and I said I just met her and I finished speaking to Jay and we would bounce. Everything was okay until B all of a sudden walks past and listens to the conversation I was having with Kay.

Of course, I go over and speak to Jay to wrap things up. Everything to me was running smoothly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry to cut you off. A certain man, like you like to say, think they're controlling the midfields. When they're not. I love that you know reference. When first says your control in the midfield is the funniest thing you've ever heard.

So I would like to think they can draw in the midfield when they're not. They really, really, really, is too fucking funny, bro. It's too fucking funny, bro. Jesus Christ. There's times years ago where we've been out.

And you think you're controlling the midfield? Yeah. And you're not. I don't even remember. The room might as well be empty. And everyone can see every play you'll make it. Pass accuracy. No! No! It's a bit more pro.

Turnovers galore! Oh my gosh! Because you got me drinking you, yeah! You think you're a god! Yeah! You think you're spinning webs? Everyone can see every movie I'm making! So transparent! That is fucking heavy. Oh, Jesus Christ. Right. No one in the mission was the funniest part of my life. Everything was running smoothly to me.

This was until I went to the bathroom, came out, and then I'm confronted by Kay, telling me that she spoke to Be outside, and that Be said me and her were boyfriend and girlfriend. Oh, stop. I was angry and confused because I wasn't anybody's boyfriend. So I was kind of pissed off, I was kind of pissed off sorry in general.

B and K, along with some other nosy people who decided to make the situation worse, made a load of noise and I just stood there completely shot. In the end, I thought forget this, and went back to speak to Jay, who was waiting for me. I ended up chilling with Jay until she left. We shared a lot of kisses.

And as she left, we had a big one, which everyone saw. Oh dear. Once they left, I ended up chilling back with my mates, having a drink. B and K were giving me evil looks all night. And I was getting horrible comments calling me evil and a horrible person. And I should apologize. Why should I apologize? To be honest, I did nothing wrong. I wasn't promised to anybody.

I didn't tell any of them I was ready to commit. I was a single man, chatting to a few ladies and seeing where the night would go. Am I the arsehole? Wow, it's kind of confidence. Confidence. Jesus. I would say he is the arsehole for sure. 100%. By the way, I wasn't thinking. I was just replaying the story. I wasn't trying to decide whether he was or wasn't. 100% is. If anything, this is a hot take. If anything, he's the most of the arsehole to K.

Because Kay was literally minding her business. And then you came up to her, dragged her to the bar, chirps and chirps and chirps and chirps in, talking about, she's like, well, what about Jay? And you're like, don't worry about Jay, bro. I'm talking to you. I'm talking to you. So Kay was there literally minding her business. You interrupted her piece to spit game and then lips another thing in front of her.

There's no need for that. There is no need for that. B is a dread one. You're still an asshole to be because you know she likes you. Yes, you've told her your intentions and you haven't stepped together or anything like that. But you've been spending time with her and you can see, you know it's going to piss her off to be lips in the thing in front of her. That's insane. Granny, it's not your fault that you were on a date and B happened to be there. That's the game. That's the game. You don't need to be lips in people in front of her. K, you're a savage. Yeah.

You were in absolute stuff, she was minding her business. She was, and she said she looked back and talked to her. Yeah. It took us to the bar where J was in the other side and B was on the other. Yeah. Insane. That's crazy behaviour, man. Yeah, you didn't control the midfield well at all. At all. Yeah, you did it, bro. Pass that crazy flow. That's fucking hilarious. Yeah, that's terrible, terrible moves. Terrible moves. Yeah, I'm not impressed by that. But certainly, man, once you've got drink in your gut,

You think, you think you're a playmaker. You think you're a playmaker, moving like Jason Kidd. You think you can see the whole floor from bird's eye view. Yeah, it's saggy vibes. You think you're on Blue Lock? Yeah, fine. You're not.

You're not, you're really, really not. Yeah, you're really not, that's me and Hoshday's. I thought I was, yeah, I thought I was break dancing in there. Yeah, and then everything would turn out to me about, but what about? I'm like, that's all this semantics. Bro, that's my bedroom. That's my roommate's girl. Let's get a drink. Yeah, what sort of this silly, silly, fucking childish behavior, bro. But yeah, fuck that kid. You do need to learn the hard way, but someone, this whole,

Why am I an asshole? Be accountable, bro. Be accountable. You know what we're doing. Clearly it's the alcohol that gave you some courage as well. And again, I'm assuming this guy's just a teenage off. Yeah. Teenage don't like, bro. Exactly. It happens. You go through that phase and then you'll just get over it. Yeah. So blame on the Jews got me feeling loose. Facts. God, I used to sing that song. Right. Just before we wrap up, I mentioned it earlier. I'm just going to mention it again.

I'm not really looking for actual sound advice. So you know how sometimes Gala will get angry at man because they want to, they come at you with emotion and then Amanda will give them logic and return. It's like, I have no use for your logic. You think I didn't know the answers before I started speaking them up. I just need support. This is what I'm going to say is I'm going to need you man support. Like I said, I already brought it up earlier. I haven't slept in three days. And I'm at an emotional tipping point you man.

And I just might cry. When I say, every night for the last three days, that is sleepy, deepy. I snuggle up in bed and I'm like Christ Almighty. Sandman, take me into your arms. And I snooze off. And then throughout the night, I roll to the left. It wakes me up. I roll to the right. It wakes me up. Like I can hear a car go past outside. That's not even that loud. It wakes me up. Everything wakes me up and I'm having dreams.

I'm having lucid dreams, you man. It's fucking me. Yeah, and every day, when I say I gave myself 10 hours to sleep last night, 10 strong hours because I needed it. Bro, I woke up, felt like I had 20 minutes. I woke up my face, puffy, I'm on camera. Damn. Damn, man. Bro, what do you know what I mean? So bro. I'm Merx, I can't live like this, you man. Every night I try again and every night I'm failed.

Hopefully, hopefully tonight's the night because you're training tonight, you're training after this. We are training. Get me in that sauna. That's gonna put sight in me. Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get me in that sauna that's gonna wear me out. Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna wear me out. Cool. Well, heavy session sauna, hopefully that would like, you know, make your buddy feel a bit more relaxed, pause and then you can just, you can just sleep tonight. I need to. Yeah. I hope so, G. Because it's like day tomorrow.

We have such a day tomorrow, I've had fear all day. Since I woke up, I've been shaking thinking I can't go through this again tonight. Do you know what it's like to be a grown man to be scared to go to bed? Do you know what that feels like? You man, I'm at the edge. I feel like I need to check into Arkham. I'm at the edge, you man. Insomnia does stuff to people.

It does start with people because it's been three days and I'm losing my mind. I would be intrigued to know if you had worn your weave, how many hours of sleep you were in. Oh, the rug. Yeah, yeah. The rug over would be 11%. I'm on the ropes. Damn. I'm on the ropes. Has this ever happened to you in a period of life before? Like consistently? Because it's been like three days. Yeah, I've had consistent insomnia before, which is not this, but insomnia where I just can't fall asleep. OK.

I'll be on my phone and I'll be whatever and I just can't sleep and I'll get to sleep at like six in the morning, wake up at nine and just want to kill myself. I've had that before but this in terms of as soon as I rest my head on the pillow, I'm asleep but all night I'm just no deep sleep whatsoever, no REM. Nothing, nothing big man. It's horrible but even when I'm tossing and turning and waking up at no point am I like

Fuck sake, I'm awake. I'm still falling back asleep, falling back asleep, falling back asleep. It's not hitting. It's not hitting, bro. I feel like I'm starving, eating one piece of sweet corn at a time. It's marking me. It's not teasing yourself. Yeah, I'm literally just edging and edging and edging, and it's fucking me up. Damn, bro. Damn, sorry, G. Sorry, G. Sorry, G. Sorry, G. Sorry, G. Hopefully, like I said, touch with tonight's the night. Strong gym session, sauna, relax. Straight to bed when you get back. Food, bed. It has to be.

And it's so bad that obviously we've flied to Ellie in a few days. I'm excited for that because the first night we landed in America every single time, you man is the best sleep I've ever had. I'm so tired. I'm so tired every single time. I sleep through that night. So I've been praying for that just because I'm not getting the sleep I need.

But tonight, yeah, tonight has to happen. Okay. Hopefully it does, for your sake or not. Guy. But anyway, that's enough cry, baby, stuff from me. Guys, this has been a very unique episode. I feel like we needed it, man. We did. It's like a nice little shake. Yes, nice to mix things up a bit. Love, love, love.
