- Joshua Drury wants to know...
- "How can I tell my girlfriend I'm moving away
and I might not see her again?"
- Aw, that's sad.
- You have to say it however you want. I can't tell you.
- Tell her.
But then say, "I might see you again, but I might not."
- You're still calling her your girlfriend,
so perhaps you could make plans to reconnect later.
- You got to ease into it.
Get her flowers, chocolates, a stuffed animal,
'cause she's gonna want to hit something.
- "It's my fault, not your fault.
You are great. I am the stupid."
- "I'm gonna move away, and I'll miss you.
But maybe on vacations, I'll see you soon."
- There is no way around it. You just got to tell her.
Especially if it's bad news,
I think it's better just to tell someone.
- You just have to tell her the truth.
You can't try and change it or anything.
You have to be honest with her.
- Man up to it.
Say, "Honey, I'm leaving the trail, I ain't comin' back,
and I hope you'll remember me."
- Tell her that you're moving. It's not that big of a deal.
You can find another one wherever you're moving to.
- Best way to deliver bad news is direct.
Tell her, "I'm moving away. I might not see you again.
But I love you," 'cause that always works with the ladies.
- Break it off with her in general,
because if you might not see her again,
there's no point in keeping the tie as a relationship.
- I would just say, "I'm gonna be sick for a very long time,
probably won't come back," and then you just move.
If she says, "Did you move away?" you say, "Yes."
And then, when you're in the new state,
you never get another girlfriend,
'cause if she finds you and you're with another one,
a conversation will happen.
- Joker asks...
- (Joker voice) "Why so serious?"
- What? I don't get it.
- I don't know why his name is Joker
when he's saying, "Why so serious?"
- I'm not serious.
- I'm not serious? I like jokes?
- I'm not serious.
You're the person who's serious, Joker!
- I am serious?
I didn't know that.
Now I'm serious.
- I'm not serious; I'm happy right now.
But why are you saying that? You don't even know me.
- I'm actually not very serious.
Serious is too much work.
- I'm not that serious, so Joker, the joke's on you.
Riddle me that. Why are you so mean?
- Is this a joke?
To me, there is a saying-- there's an old saying--
"Laughter is the best medicine."
- That's what I say, Joker. Don't be so serious.
Don't take yourself so seriously.
Live, laugh, love.
- Are we talking about Batman Joker? Heh-heh.
Batman is, to him, the bad guy. So he's serious.
- 'Cause I'm Batman.
- Did anybody ever answer that in the movie?
That's what I need to know.
Does anybody ever answer that in the movie?
If they do, I will go re-watch it
and I'll get back to you later with their response,
and we can keep this going, Mr. Joker.
- Jefferzee Brig.
- "What is the best sleeping position?"
- Let's start with horizontal, and you take it from there.
- If you're in a car, then probably wear your seat belt as a--
lay on your seat belt.
- You start on your back, and you're gonna turn around later.
It's not... you're in control. You just sleep.
- Gotta lay down with my arms out, be like this.
- I prefer the sprawled out on the bed like a starfish
with the blanket only over the bottom half of your calf,
because you don't need to be very warm,
but it's cold without a blanket.
- Try your side. Try your back. Try your stomach.
Get a really good pillow, that's what I say.
- I like all of 'em.
I like being on my back, on my side.
Sometime laying on my face.
- The best sleeping position is curled up in a little ball,
'cause you're so warm.
- Put my head down like this
and put my other arm right on top of it like this.
That's how I sleep. It's a perfect position.
- Put one leg up.
And then sleep kinda like on your belly-ish sideways.
That's, like, the most comfortable sleeping position ever.
- I have a go-to sleeping position, where I lean like this
and I curl up like this, like a little fetus.
And I wrap myself like a little cocoon
so I'm like the caterpillar in Bug's Life.
- Ooh, this is so easy. You got to have your Pillow Pet,
and you got to go sideways in the fetal position
and just have the Pillow Pet right there.
Oh, it's so nice. It's how I sleep every night.
- Nasren Begam wants to know...
- "How do I overcome my fear of heights?"
- Same. I'm scared of heights too.
You have to ask somebody else. I'm sorry.
- I have vertigo. There is no way around it for me.
It's mainly putting mind over matter.
It's mainly just, little by little,
learning to handle things better.
- If there's a big height, do not think you're gonna fall at all.
Just think of other things.
- Don't look down if you're climbing up,
because then the fear factor comes in immediately.
- Challenge your fear.
Go to the top of a building.
Keep staring down until you're not scared anymore.
- Just do it. You listen to Nike, and you just do it.
You go on a rickety bridge and you look down the whole time.
- The best way to conquer your fear is just to hit it head on.
Just go bungee jumping or skydiving.
- Go on an airplane.
- Go ride in a balloon or on a roller coaster.
Make it a fun experience while you're overcoming your fear,
and then it'll make heights seem less scary.
- Oh, I'll put blindfolds on you.
I'll just walk you to a high ride.
I'll say, "Come on, we're going on a baby ride that's not high."
And then you drop down. You won't be afraid of heights anymore.
You will just say, "That was fun. Can we do another high ride?"
- Overblake asks...
- "How do I stop saying 'YOLO,' 'bae,' 'swag,' et cetera?"
- Who even says "YOLO" anymore?
That's, like-- I don't know. It's old.
- Program your mind to not use those words.
- (slowly) Just stop saying it. Think before you speak.
- I suggest that you slap yourself every time you say the word,
because that's what everybody else wants to do.
- Talk to your friends in a normal voice.
"Hey, guys! What's up?"
- You should just say it by words, not by that name.
You should say, "You only live once."
- Just come up with some new fun words to say.
- That's so hard. You got to pick up new phrases
like "for suresies"-- that's a good one.
- Try and change your vocabulary.
Stop hanging around people who say "YOLO" and "bae" and "swag."
- You're already infected. There's no going back.
You're gonna have to just go into isolation for a while.
Go in the woods. Find yourself.
Learn a new language
where you don't know "YOLO," "bae," or "swag."
- Stop using any internet or any social media
or any technology for about a week.
Then you will be refreshed. You will feel like a human being
and not like a washing machine.
