- Hey, guys! This week on Today,
I'm joined by, the incredible, Josh Sundquist!
- Yay!
- So, Josh, do you know what Tunesday is?
- Yes. We are going to answer your questions
for advice in the form of songs that we are
gonna make up live, in the moment.
- It's really, really incredible.
Okay, so, would you like to go first or second?
- I'll go second.
- You'll go second?
- Am I supposed to choose first?
- Oh, no!
- The question is from _alexisrenee_.
"How do you tell someone you only like them as a friend?"
(sympathetic mocking)
(lively bagpipe music)
♫ Hey, have to tell you that I only like you as a friend.
♫ That's ok, because we will be together 'til the end.
♫ You're my buddy and it's true
♫ and we're gonna have a really good time.
♫ That's why we're friends and everything.
♫ It feels so fine!
♫ Aye, aye, aye!
- Did you know you can do bagpipes by pinching your nose
and hitting your throat softly and making nasally noises?
(vocalization)
- Okay, here's... my question to you is from Julie Bouchard.
"How do I make the best of a snow apocalypse?"
- Okay.
- And you'll be answering this to the tune of Crunk Night!
- Yes!
(rhythmic music)
(Josh laughing)
I didn't even know what kind of music this was.
Oh. The drop!
Oh! I feel like it's rap. Do you think it's rap?
- Yeah, I think so. I fell like it is.
- Yo! Check one, two! Turn me up in my microphone.
♫ Yo, when you go out in the yard
♫ and you look around and see the snow
♫ and you're like, "Yo! What's up? I feel like it's a show.
♫ "Like, snow flakes are fallin'.
♫ "Water is frozen, like the movie."
♫ Do you want to make a snowman?
♫ Do you wanna go, man?
♫ Do you want to ski or sled down the hill?
♫ I think it's ill when you gettin' all that speed
♫ and you got the... the reed.
♫ I'm losing my rhymes, but what's up?
♫ It's all good. Having good times
♫ chillin' with MyHarto! Yo!
- Dude that was great! - [Josh] Thank you.
- I really saw a different side of you.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah. It's got this very DC chic nautical rap theme.
- All right. Your question is from Frida and she asks,
"How do I figure out what I should do after college?"
(vocalizing)
As you're entering an important phase of life known as
- Adultolescence.
(funky music)
(vocalizing)
Some funk!
- ♫ Mm, after college!
♫ After you graduate from school, you've gotta go
♫ figure out what it is you need to know.
♫ Mainly, it's helpful if you start to learn how
♫ to do your own taxes so you don't pay so much money.
♫ It gets very expensive when you do taxes.
♫ I'm thinking about taxes.
♫ Maybe be an accountant. Yeah.
- ♫ Taxes!
- I'm gonna go ahead and take that sudden stopping
of recording as a sign. My camera--
- Just a sign from the Cannon gods.
- was just begging me to stop.
After college, your first job is gonna probably suck.
- Almost definitely.
- And that will be shocking to you.
I don't know how it was for you.
All my friends, after college, everyone gets jobs.
And everyone was like, "Our jobs suck! They're so easy."
- All of our jobs suck!
- We have no responsibility. It's super boring.
But it's just the way it is when you start out.
- And you gotta pay your dues and that's okay,
because it's a marathon, not a sprint.
You know? Yeah. Life, that is.
- Good metaphor.
- Thank you. Tamaralynn Shute asks,
"How do you stick to your resolutions?"
(reggae music)
(vocalizing and cheering)
♫ So, you make a resolution,
♫ something you wanna do with your life.
♫ but then you hit an obstacle.
♫ You feel so much strife!
- Oh, "strife" and "life"!
- Yeah. It rhymes.
- That was really good. Yeah.
- Thank you.
♫ But what you gotta do is look towards the future you,
♫ towards the person you wanna be
♫ when you are free.
♫ When you are free, all that obstacle...
(vocalizing and laughing)
♫ Keep on visualizing yourself.
♫ That person you want to be--
- ♫ is a human bagpipe!
(nasal vocalizing)
I really feel we have brought them some true-life advice.
- Really good. Life-changing advice.
- Life-changing advice and excellent motivational speaking.
- I think that people are gonna walk away very motivated.
- If somebody wanted to spend more time with you, Josh,
in video form, where would they find you?
- My channel is, youtube.com/joshsundquist.
- And if somebody wanted to find you more in book form?
- You can find everything you wanted to know
about my new book at www.weshouldhangoutsometime.com.
- What's the book about, for anybody
that might not have heard of it?
- When I was about 25 years old,
it occurred to me that I had never had a girlfriend.
And I'd tried to date a lot of girls, but I was not sure
why none of them had ever become a relationship.
And so, I did what anyone would do in that situation.
I tracked down all of the girls I'd ever tried to date
and I interviewed them about why they didn't like me.
And I learned a lot of interesting things
about myself and had a lot of awkward encounters.
And then I wrote a book about it.
It's called, "We Should Hangout Sometime".
- Oh, my goodness! You are so brave
and make yourself so vulnerable.
- It was very frightening. It was pretty scary.
- It's pretty scary. You have also done
another brave thing by coming here on Tunesday!
(vocalizing)
Thank you, so much, Josh for coming!
Be sure to check out his book, "We Should Hangout Sometime".

- Peace!
(nasal vocalizing)
That was beautiful and... yeah.
