Episode 151: Orb is Horse

Outline
05:14 - Last week I asked a close girl-friend of a year and a half out on a date (I'm a dude, B T Dubs). She said no. Meanwhile in the week since my rejection I have developed feelings for her best friend (oops). My question is this: is it too soon to pursue a relationship with her bestie? -- Betwixt In Bristol

I already told her before a million times that I don't want a pony, I've never wanted a pony and I don't know why some girls are so obsessed with the thought of having them. And even then only little kids like ponies. I am 13 for fuck sake. I could have gotten so many other things for the amount of money she spent on that effing pony. It's just because she wanted a pony as a kid so it's her present for herself wow what a fucking great birthday. It's boring and I don't know what to do with it. Even a real horse would have been better but still a god damn waste of time and money. How do I get her to bring that piece of shit back? I don't want it, fuck!" 19:11 - I'm a sophomore in college, and I'm not having any fun because I have no friends. I have the opportunity to transfer to a school where I already know people; the problem is all my credits won't transfer. If I stay where I am I'll be able to graduate in a year, but if I leave I have to stay two more years. Do you guys think I should go and have fun, or stay and graduate early? -- Friendless In Philly

But my testicles swell and shrink back all day long. Sometimes it feels puffed out and hard like a hackey sack ball. Other times its like a loose change purse. Has been like this my whole life and I never knew if it was normal or not. Or what is normal."

39:38 - Help! Whenever someone talks about something embarrassing with me, I turn bright red. I'm learning this at age twenty three, after spending years trying to develop a poker face. Is there a way to stop this hue change? Alternatively, is this a skill I can use to my advantage? -- #FF0000

44:24 - I live in a small college town. I'm 31-years-old. When I drive to my house, which is close to the college campus, I see some very beautiful girls walking on the sidewalks. What, if any, is the appropriate method of stopping to talk to the girls. I've attempted the classy "could you give me directions... to your heart?" That doesn't seem to work. So, MBMBaM, any advice would be appreciated. -- Pick Up Policy In Pennsylvania
