- Dash 12579-- that's a lot of numbers.
- "What should I do if my relationship
is moving too slow for me?"
- Speed it up!
- Try and speed it up on your own,
and then see how the other person reacts.
- Sit down and take a breath. Enjoy the moment.
- You kind of have to self-reflect.
Maybe you want to go too fast.
Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint.
- There's nothing wrong with moving slowly
into that good night, so take your time.
- Communicate. I think you should just tell her,
you know, you wanna speed things up.
- Try to stay at pace with your partner.
Even after a while, if it's still going too slow,
maybe suggest things.
- If it's not going where you want it to go,
then you can talk to the person.
If they're not comfortable doing what you want to do,
then maybe you should find someone else.
- That's the key to a relationship-- it's communication.
If you think it's going too slow, you should talk to them about that.
If it doesn't work out, there's always somebody
out there who has the right type of relationship for you.
- Talk about it.
Get together and be reasonable.
Your conversations are very important.
- Respect the other person.
If it's moving slow, it's moving slow for a reason.
If it's worth it, you're gonna stick it out.
- Partyprice asks:
- "How can I go to Bikini Bottom?"
Okay, guys, let me know about what Bikini Bottom is.
Bikini Bottom? Is it a store?
- Now, wait... you're trying to find a bikini bottom that fits you,
or you're trying to get into someone's bikini bottom?
- I don't know.
I've been trying to figure this out for years.
If you find out, please let me know.
- Play a SpongeBob game that's set there.
- You watch SpongeBob. That's how you go to Bikini Bottom.
- Get in the water and create your own Bikini Bottom.
- Get a pineapple, and get a sign that says "Bikini Bottom"
and make your own Bikini Bottom.
- You could make a backdrop (laughing) in your garage
and pretend like you're in Bikini Bottom.
- You go to the ocean and you swim to the bottom
till you see a pineapple.
- Do your research and find out which ocean
Bikini Bottom is located underneath,
and then go to that place.
- Tie bricks to your ankles
and just go to the middle of the ocean, and just go. (chuckles)
Don't actually do that, please.
- Go scuba diving, and you throw a pineapple down in the water.
- Try finding that island with one palm tree;
it's kind of small.
And if you go down deep enough,
you could probably find Bikini Bottom.
- Now I'm just gonna keep it real with you
because Bikini Bottom is not real.
You know Batman? Batman, yeah, he's not real either, okay?
I'm just-- I keep it real, okay?
And Bikini Bottom is not real.
- Footballholic-- yes, I love that name.
- "How can I stop looking at the phone
all the time when hanging out with friends?
- Seriously... (sighs) I have that problem.
- Maybe you need to find more entertaining friends.
You know, maybe they're boring.
- I think you should get better friends, honestly,
if they're not that entertaining to the point where you're looking
at your phone all the time.
- If you're hanging out with friends, I don't know if you really have
a reason to be on your phone.
Usually, if I'm with a group of people,
the people that I'm communicating with is already there.
- This is what my sister does. Oh my gosh!
Shut your phone off!
- You can turn your sound off
and put the phone away, like in your pocket.
- Put the phone down.
Anything on that phone can wait.
And guess what? If it's a score, you can't do anything about it anyway.
- Try making decent conversation with them
so you could stay off your phone.
- Stay off those electronic devices and be human, be real.
Speak words, not texts.
- Sometimes, when we go out to dinner and stuff,
we all literally just stack our phones in the middle of the table.
- I know if you're, like, eating dinner
everyone has to put their phone in the center of the table,
and then whoever touches their phone first
during dinner has to pay for dinner.
- Amer Ryals asks:
- "How can you focus on school when your parents are getting a divorce?"
(sympathetically) Oh, poor thing.
- You know you love your parents but you gotta focus
on what you gotta do.
- Focus on getting good grades, and focus on keeping your friends.
- Try hanging out with your friends a bit more often
so that you can get your homework done,
and maybe they can help you.
- Find a subject you like a lot and just focus on it,
'cause once you focus on one thing and you make it a passion,
it's impossible for anything else to get in your way.
- And whatever's on the outside won't even affect you,
so don't worry about it. Everything's gonna be okay.
- School actually offers a lot of really, really great therapy programs.
Get out all of the negativity that you're feeling from
the home situation so that your positive energy can be
focused on working on something creative.
- I would just try and make school a top priority,
and whenever you're feeling sad about it or anything like that,
just use the energy towards school work
to try and use it as a distraction.
- School could actually honestly be a distraction
from the stuff at home.
You need to let your teachers know what's going on as well.
- I'm real sorry for you there.
They'll get through the divorce, but you've gotta get through it too.
And more important is you've gotta get through your school.
Stay in touch with your schoolmates.
Stay in touch with your teachers.
- It may be hard, I know, but you've just gotta push
through it and you've gotta think, "You know, it's all for the best
and my studying is also for the best."
Focus on your work, and they need to focus on their relationship.
- Say that you don't want to fail.
You know, be a warrior and even though your parents
are going through a divorce, you've got all A's.
Like, boom!
- Evan Deitrich asks:
"How do I tame a skunk?"
Woo! Skunk wrangler in the house!
- You can't tame a skunk!!!
- Don't tame a skunk.
There's these cool things called dogs and cats.
- Buy a toy skunk.
- Get a cat that's black and white,
and tell everyone it's a skunk?
- Pick up a dead roadkill one,
go a taxidermist and get it stuffed.
- I would have the skunk de-skunked first.
- (hesitantly) Do tricks with it and give it treats?
- Give it snacks and have your presence around it,
maybe wear a hazmat suit.
- You're gonna need a lot of tomato juice for the times you fail.
- I hope you're sponsored by a tomato juice company or something
'cause this is not gonna go well.
But once a skunk knows you're an okay person,
you're a cool guy, good personality, won't hurt him,
you can tame him after that.
- Get a baby skunk and then raise it as your own.
- If the animal is a baby when you get a hold of him
give him love like you'd give a cat or a dog.
I think he'll be cool.
- If you do it and get on the news for it,
I will be happy 'cause I-- that's impossible.
