  Hey, Stave, hey, Elvis, hey, guests. Left a voicemail, but it wasn't really good. Want to give more detail. Got a best friend that has a nephew. I've known this nephew since he was about 10 years old. I've watched him grow up. Recently got his first girlfriend, I believe, within a year, year and a half. Long story short, she sucks. She won't go along with bits if we try to roast her. He's 10?

• 1:09Stavros Halkias?

  He's 10.

• 1:10Speaker 06

  No, no, I think he's known him since he was 10.

• 1:12Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, okay, sorry.

• 1:13Speaker 07

  Wait, I don't know, I thought he was 10.

• 1:15Stavros Halkias?

  I think he's known, wait, he's known his nephew since he was 10?

• 1:19Speaker 07

  He says he's about 10 years old.

• 1:21Stavros Halkias?

  Play it again, from the beginning, I was...

• 1:24Speaker 04

  Left a voicemail, but it wasn't really good. Want to give more detail. Got a best friend that has a nephew. I've known this nephew since he was about 10 years old. I've watched him grow up. Recently got his first girlfriend, I believe, within a year, year and a half. Long story short, she sucks. She won't go along with bits if we try to roast her. She thinks we're genuinely being mean.

• 1:47Stavros Halkias?

  Paulie Farnes?

• 1:48Speaker 04

  And just doesn't...

• 1:49Stavros Halkias?

  This is what Michael Richards thought about Jerry Seinfeld's 18-year-old girlfriend. He was like, "She won't even riff." I say one little naughty word around her and she gets all uptight. Anyway, okay, this is insane. Let's just, off the bat, this is insane. That a grown man is mad a child won't riff, a girl child who's dating his friend's nephew won't riff with him? What do you, what kind of relationship do you think friend of your boyfriend's uncle is to a fucking girl in high school? Or, you know, college?

• 2:25Speaker 07

  Do you have her calling in, "Hey, uh, so my uncle's friend is, keeps trying to hang out with me"?

• 2:31Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, my boyfriend's uncle's friend doesn't think I'm fun. He keeps trying to fucking, uh, show me memes? Anyway, let's finish it.

• 2:40Speaker 04

  Genuinely being mean and, uh, just doesn't, you know, vibe along. Uh, most recent thing is that the nephew and his brother got together, started drinking for the nephew's 20th birthday. Started watching anime. Girlfriend finds out, all of a sudden starts calling him an alcoholic. All of a sudden says he's gonna start ruining his life and like, you know, all this toxic shit. And overall, I just don't like her. So, what can I tell, you know, basically my nephew? Like the guy, the kid I watched grow up, like, "Hey, get rid of this chick. You deserve better."

• 3:14Stavros Halkias?

  What?

• 3:15Speaker 04

  He's a bigger guy, not a lot of confidence, so I get why he's kinda dealing with it, but, you know, he's complained about her.

• 3:21Speaker 07

  No, dude, let this kid have his slump buster.

• 3:24Speaker 04

  He's just not good for him. So, I wanna try to find a way-

• 3:27Stavros Halkias?

  She's not good for him. Dude, what the fuck are you talking about? Yeah. This is the kinda thing that you're like, "Oh, isn't this hilarious"? Like, isn't it funny, like, you know? You know, Billy's, Billy's girlfriend's kind of a fucking idiot. Oh, well, they're children. Who cares?

• 3:43Speaker 07

  Yeah, when are they gonna get married? They're not Amish, right?

• 3:45Stavros Halkias?

  Twenty, dude, twenty. Anyway, let's finish, let's finish this call.

• 3:49Speaker 04

  So, I wanna try to find a way to instill the confidence in him to be like, "Hey, you can get somebody that doesn't suck. You can get somebody that doesn't call you an alcoholic for drinking with your brother."

• 4:00Stavros Halkias?

  Or else you'll let up like me!

• 4:03Speaker 04

  Let me know. Love the podcast. Hope to hear, uh, what you got.

• 4:07Stavros Halkias?

  Okay. It's possible to be like, I don't really like, and okay, we're busting your balls, but also, he said, who did he say? It's like his friend's nephew? Yeah. So it's kinda like if you, you know, but even you and your nieces, it's like, I wouldn't- What about my other nephew? Or it's like his friend's- Oh, your other nephew?

• 4:28Stavros Halkias?

  That's true. That's a better example, actually. That's, that's why I'm like, okay, I could kinda see it. But he's also, how old is he now? Like, one and two. So it would be like if, okay, but nine, I honestly, nineteen and twen- like nineteen turning twenty is a lot different than even twenty-two, twenty-three, right? Like this, someone who's in college, like, to give a, okay, it's so, it's like, for example, if that kid had a girlfriend who sucked, I would have an opinion, I would, we would talk about it, but I would never be like, "Bro, man to man, she's sucking the life out of you, dude." You would just be like, "Oh, I hope this kid figures it out." You pause GoldenEye to be like, "Let's talk for a second."

• 5:12Stavros Halkias?

  You are coming off really weird, man. You are coming off insanely loser-ish. You, you're coming, honestly, mis- I hate to be this, you're making me be woke, but you're coming off misogynistic. You're being like, "She's a shrill harpy, this twenty-year-old." She's a real wet blanket, this one. It's like, dude, they're fucking kids. If he's a, listen, as someone who was a fat kid, I would have killed to have a dumb bitch girlfriend when I was nineteen. I didn't get pussy, I was, to get pussy at nineteen, a girl could have treated me anyway, who cares? I feel like it's better for him to have a shitty girlfriend that might, and by the way, she's not even, we don't even know that she's shitty, cuz you're weird, so what your, your opinion- Nah, she sucks, I can tell.

• 5:56Stavros Halkias?

  She can't even riff, bro.

• 6:00Stavros Halkias?

  We don't even know that you're funny.

• 6:01Speaker 06

  Yeah, this guy's asking us to vouch for his sense of humor sight unseen.

• 6:05Stavros Halkias?

  If anything, off of your energy, I am betting she's funnier than you are. Just off of your general demeanor. There is something very wrong with how you're taking this. You're taking it personally and you're being weird. I just, you gotta know that. You're being fucking strange. Let the kid have his fucking shitty first girlfriend. Is this, is this projection on your part? What was your life like when you were 19? And by the way, you wanna know how he gets confidence? It's like, you go through a couple of relationships when you're fucking 19 and 20.

• 6:36Speaker 07

  You work your way up.

• 6:37Stavros Halkias?

  This is when you fuck up. He should have, like, he'll learn this lesson by doing it. This is like you being like, um, uh, my friend's nephew, um, you know, he's still, he's using training wheels on a bike. How do I tell him to have the confidence to use two wheel? You know what I mean? To use a motorcycle? It's like, that's not the age he's at right now, dude. Like, this isn't a matter of confidence. He'll figure it out for himself. Don't meddle in a child's affairs.

• 7:06Speaker 07

  Yeah, it's also not even your fucking place. I have, I have friends who are 40 who are picking bad partners. I'm like, good luck with that. Stop standing the fuck out of this.

• 7:14Stavros Halkias?

  A hundred percent. And like, look, you might be closer to him than we're giving you credit for, but it's kinda fucking weird, dude.

• 7:22Speaker 07

  Now, you're baiting him with booze and to get him to hang out with you. I'm on to this.

• 7:26Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. You're mad, this is the only reason he calls you. He needs you to buy him fucking twisted teas. Uh, uh, he needs you to buy him twisted. Keep it twisted. The only reason he calls this guy is like, hey, can you, um, buy me a handle of vodka? That's the only back and forth he has. And he's scared this girl might take his fucking connection.

• 7:48Speaker 07

  Handle of vodka, you can't even handle a kid.

• 7:52Stavros Halkias?

  So, yeah, dude, you, uh, something is really off with your energy here. It's, it's kinda making me uncomfortable if I'm being completely honest with you. The amount you're judging a 19-year-old girl for not thinking, for not having your sense of humor?

• 8:06Speaker 07

  Wait, can you, can you imagine, right? He talks that kid into dumping her and she finds out that he was, she was dumped because Stab on a podcast? Was like, you gotta get rid of her, bro.

• 8:19Stavros Halkias?

  How old is this guy, did he say?

• 8:21Speaker 06

  He didn't say, but he must be, I don't know. On the low end. Mid twenties at the absolute lowest.

• 8:29Speaker 08

  Yeah, probably late twenties.

• 8:30Speaker 06

  I mean, your conversations with your friends, like nineteen, twenty year old kid should be like, hey, how you doing? Going to college?

• 8:37Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, exactly, dude.

• 8:38Speaker 06

  How, how, how often are you hanging out?

• 8:40Stavros Halkias?

  Crazy. I mean, I mean.

• 8:42Speaker 08

  If we also want to give him like the full benefit of the doubt, it's like the same principles do apply when it is like your real friend like. When, when your friend's in a bad relationship, like unless it's like something crazy catastrophic or even like abusive. Like you can't really tell them like it sucks. They just have to like learn it for themselves and like suffer through it. And like that, and, and like that principle just applies double and it's like a kid where like when an adult tells them like. That person's bad for you, that, that just makes them want to rebel and like lean, lean into it harder.

• 9:17Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, okay. True. Let's give him benefit of doubt. This is a kid that looks at you as a mentor.

• 9:24Stavros Halkias?

  Let's just say that's the case. Okay? You walk, you don't proactively meddle if he comes to you or if he talks to you. It's like. It's like, you know, I watched my friend, I watched my friend like talk her three year old through a temper tantrum. She was like, breathe. How do we deal with our feel? He was like, can you take a deep breath? He was like, no. And she's like, okay, but can you try? And he was like. And then he was like, I feel better. And she's like, good. How do, you know, like you walk him through it. You're like, he comes to you. He's like, hey, hey, fucking uncle, whatever the fuck. Um, I don't, I'm having like, I'm feeling bummed out. He's like, why buddy? Is, what's going on with your rela- and then you let him talk it out and you don't even give him direction. You just let him try and figure it out for himself, but.

• 10:10Stavros Halkias?

  I have to just come back to how uncomfortable it makes me, the, the amount you're judging this child that the child you know is dating. Just let up, she might be fine for him. And look, maybe she's a little bit, maybe she's a little bit of like, she's more, a little more uptight than, than he is, but it's like. Kids figure this shit out, whatever. Who gives a fuck? And is he an alcoholic? Cause also again, the problem is we don't underst- you are an unreliable narrator here. Like what if this kid is just getting fucked up all the time? You know what I mean? Like it is, and she probably doesn't, she's probably overreacting, but either way. He's fa- he's a fat kid and you think he has confidence issues. His uncle's loser friend not stopping him from getting pussy is not gonna fix his confidence issues.

• 10:55Speaker 07

  Yeah, you don't need pussy, you need alcohol.

• 10:57Stavros Halkias?

  You need to chill with me, dude. You need to get fucked up with a 32-year-old. You need to spend time with a girl you like.

• 11:07Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, anyway, man, I have a stinging suspicion you are not fulfilled in your life. And maybe look inward before getting mad at a, you know, 19-year-old girl.

• 11:24Speaker 00

  How do you want to split it?

• 11:25Speaker 01

  Actually, dinner's on me.
