Secretly Boinking My Best Friend's Brother (w/ Kwesi James) | Perfect Person Ep. 33

[@PerfectPerson]

Lemme know if you have any piping hot alts to the callers today. Do we actually love squash playing gamer crush???

[@qtpi9228]

With the on edibles one, maybe she should try to go spend an afternoon or maybe stay a few nights with her mom to provide some more emotional support. I think it would help both of them feel connected and secure, but I also think that would lessen her calls afterwards. ALSO I found that if you over think “OMGOMGOMG I have to act not high” you work yourself up and are more obvious. Don’t get so high you can’t focus unless you know you’re scot free, but just… vibe. Use the opportunity to let her talk and just be together and you’ll find that answers come easier

[@mcadams4413]

My only note is that I think there needs to be some sort of ambiance/lighting change during the Get Real segment. Great ep as always

[@Folkvirgo]

@@mcadams4413 perfect suggestion

[@BaddeGrasse]

I love squash guy! But im also a strong believer in "they both deserve someone more suited to them"

[@megan55121]

We are not a fan of squash guy, the caller followed up in another comment and said he was also very rude! So I have no alt to your advice, I think you were spot on 👌🏼

[@austinlawrence8663]

2 of the most chaotic of men together I love it

[@AprilSay]

My favorite guest so far. There's something about Kwesi that makes you feel so warm and happy but also the vulnerability shared from him and the way he is such a great listener really made me feel like I was in the room with you guys. I hope he can come back on and I'd love any project he chooses to do!

[@zerocraic3966]

Years ago, I replied to one of kwesi’s stories about how much one of his appearances made my cousin and I laugh and he was so sweet and gracious exchanging a couple humble messages with me. He is nothing but a gold mine of a person. We must protect him forever. I’m like a nobody old mom with 100 followers but he is just a gracious person and I never forget it.

[@zoiechan9567]

hey guys!! im the squash caller :) i was so nervous about potentially being in this episode because i didn't know how people would react to my situation or find me annoying (i sound like im literally screaming crying throwing up throughout this whole entire call) but you guys are so wonderful and make me giggle and kick my feet. i honestly did not remember what i said in this episode because i was so excited i blacked out, but listening back i remembered that i forgot to mention one of the biggest parts of why i got the ick: squash boy not only was so confident that he was going to win all his matches... but actively talked badly about the other members of the team. basically saying that he believed in himself but nobody else because "everyone else sucks." which, not only is massively gross, but so embarrassing to say after literally everyone else on the team did better than you. to make it even worse, when he lost his second match, he was banging his racquet on the walls and yelling "F***" like a petulant child. it was so incredibly over at that point. bonus: i told him that i wasn't interested beyond a platonic relationship and he responded with the equivalent of "it's cool, i didn't even like you that much anyways" when 2 hours prior he not only told his friends about me, but told me that one of them told him to marry me. so, uh. yeah.

[@axeavier]

You really sounded adorable in your call, I too am surprised how people are not just like you when they get a call from them.I certainly would be. But it sounds like you missed a huge key detail in the call but understandably so since I'd certainly be forgetful if I heard miles actually talking to me. Hopefully you didn't go, it sounds he's generally a toxic person. It's possible he's over doing it to impress you by saying he's going to win everything but that's going too far by insulting everyone. With the temper tantrums, it's the same issue. But the " "it's cool, i didn't even like you that much anyways" is the icing on the trash cake. That's like a nice guy saying a slew of insults when someone says they're not interested in them. Instead of taking the news lightly understanding that not everyone would be interested in him, he replied with a passive aggressive comment. You really dodged a bullet there but I wonder if I was in the same situation, how many red flags would I put up with before calling it quits since being all high and mighty is one thing but to also trash talk others is too much, on top of everything else you said. This doesn't sound like someone I'd want to know in real life longer than I have to

[@zoiechan9567]

@@axeavier for sure!! I was kicking myself for not including that tidbit in the episode cause it matters so much to the context of the story 😭😭 but we have not hung out since!! So I’m counting that as a win :)

[@vickynosleepy]

Oh trust me girly I get it is be twirling my hair and giggling too. In terms of the ick, u definitely made the right decision and honestly don't even continue a platonic relationship if you don't feel comfortable with that type of man baby. Ngl I wouldn't lmao Have a good one girly ❣️

[@luizaborges8176]

I totally understood what you mean, and it really shows how hot of a temper he has

[@DaniGreenfairy]

I listened to you answering the call so many times! It was adorable 😂 Eff that guy. I'm glad you're on here to clear this up. You obviously dodged a bullet and are much better off without him.

[@emilyswiftie22]

you can tell there's nothing miles enjoys more than hard launching the guest after the most random conversation

[@grllwrfr]

the entire squash call was so iconic .... from the caller's reaction (i always am surprised that more ppl don't react like this????) to the use of the word "ick" to her insistence that this squash-playing dude is NOT her boyfriend omg

[@grllwrfr]

have finished the whole ep now and zoe i loved every second of your call 🫶 also kwesi is a gem and i'm officially launching the petition to have him return for 29837592835792385 more eps

[@lilchihuahua7753]

For the third caller : what I usually do is I don’t pick up the phone but then I text her right after to let her know that I’m busy and that I’ll call her back at a certain time (when I’m no longer high obviously)

[@snoopy_90s]

Another good tactic is to call right before and chit chat so she won't feel the need to call you for a little while.

[@lilchihuahua7753]

@@snoopy_90s yeah I also do that ! Works pretty well 👌

[@leoniemoats7467]

I appreciate that you're always honest to the callers, even calling them out for bad behavior. It's refreshing

[@grllwrfr]

same! sometimes ppl are in the wrong and i appreciate that miles will be upfront if he thinks that (but is always nice about it)

[@literarymary4933]

I am here. I have my pasta. Let the games begin.

[@taylorrachael2238]

Omg I want pasta

[@PerfectPerson]

[@alexalangseder2024]

Yasss Miles and Kwesi this is an amazing duo

[@andyqv-goodvibes1900]

my fav part of this episode was the genuine offer to take Miles to six flags and the joy on both their faces lol im a fan of this friendship and would love to see more Kwesi & Miles content

[@emerson1998]

I love the idea of Miles poaching all the collab creators that come through Second Try Entertainment, just skulking about, waiting for the right time to approach them about Perfect Person "Have YOUUUU ever wanted to be on a podcast, MY podcast..."

[@avao3914]

kwesi’s childhood is so interesting and I’m so glad to get to hear abt it from him!

[@clairegriswold7256]

Genuinely cry-laughing at Kwesi’s reaction to Miles telling him he’s a good listener & very present. They both are such lovely, genuine humans.

[@itsme_taylorlee]

Kwesi!! He’s such a delightful soul. Miles is such a delightful soul. What a fun vibe.

[@planwithelenaa]

The first call was so funny! Miles and Kwesis face dropped more and more with every item the caller named 😂

[@sillyghost98]

Miles doing a kick at 43:34 because the motion sensor lights went out absolutely killed me

[@coconutmilkcowboy]

i think an episode all with will, kwesi, raine, and miles would be so delightfully chaotic

[@itsjess1046]

“I’m doing good. I’m gonna go to my room now” LOLLLLLL. I lived this 😂

[@nathansimpson5721]

Kwesi is the best. I have severe dyslexia, so I was always the stupid kid in my family and in the classroom. I appreciate him being relatable!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Miles really said: “I’m going to channelise my inner Steve Jobs.” I love the outfits on display today.

[@stressedlex9106]

Kwesi is too powerful for this show. Can't wait for him to be back

[@Marie_Sims]

I love Kwesi! He is such a positive light ☀

[@miguelaguilar8099]

That caller with the squash situationship was so sweet I feel I'd be just as excited

[@jacrsea]

Great explanation on the process of apologies, Miles! People often don’t get this, in my experience, and ask for immediate forgiveness or refer to the fact that they “already apologized”.

[@wompwomp90]

Can we PLEASE get Kwesi on the Trypod?! I'd love to hear more about his life, background, & how he started with the guys He's truly a gem of a person ❤️

[@julians4094]

i'm so excited for the get real segment today because kwesi is never afraid to get real in the best way

[@julians4094]

on the Kwesi asking for feedback on which creative projects, I could probably listen to him talk about anything and he has such a serene and compassionate vibe that the world totally benefits from whatever medium he chooses to explore. I think podcasting would be excellent for him and hearing him talk about things he's interested in and people he admires would be simply divine💫

[@booklyhour]

You should make a compilation video of all the times that you have had to on the motion sensor light at the end of the year or something lol.

[@juliagoldsmith-pinkham8719]

Miles gave such good advice to 2nd caller, how sweet. That's what an 18yo really needed to hear.

[@Brittanychampion90]

the second caller’s call is literally the plot of the edge of seventeen 😂

[@kathleenuclear]

I was thinking the same exact thing

[@OnVacayShan]

God bless kwasi!!! Loved that you had him on as a guest. Someone that also had a father on drugs I appreciate that he didn’t just dog on his dads struggles. He saw the beauty that the dad still had good intentions and he tried. That’s exactly how my dad was.

[@sophiekuhn5342]

Ok for the third call: I went through this exact situation. I got mega high and then the cops came by because my best friends moms friend’s husband died (also the neighbour) and we literally had to comfort a grieving woman while totally stoned and also talk to the police. It was insane. Worst time ever and my friend kept almost laughing out of shock while I had a panic attack

[@sleepypup]

Okay but forreal though, growing up in Milwaukee, felons and people addicted to crack are genuinely the hardest workers I've ever met 🤣

[@saraa.7836]

I freaking love Kwesi's energy!

[@signaturelements]

The way my eyes just bugged out my head at seeing Kwesi on the pod! THIS is what I needed today! ❤❤❤

[@kerkyberky6793]

Siobhan Thompsons voice soothingly telling me that this is, in fact, a Headgum podcast, is the best part of my week.

[@StevoIDH]

I know this is literally a year later, but it's Rose McIver who says that not Siobhan Thompson.

[@LauraPerez-mf7ih]

By far my favorite guest. I love Kwesi’s view on perspective and the power in it, so good.

[@Ciela887]

Woah, I learned so much about Kwesi in the first few minutes and I love how honest he is. I hope we learn more about him. (EDIT: Saw the piece at the end where he's asking what he should work on. I say anything that lets us get to know his life perspective more, and in a form of media he's comfortable making - he said writing's not easy for him so a show or movie would be cool!)

[@KW-up2ox]

I mostly listen on Spotify but I had to come find the video for the opening convo just to see their hilarious expressions as Kwesi explained how he navigated shame as a kid. Miles + Kwesi?!?! I didn’t even know how much I needed this 💗

[@laurens3055]

I love Kwesi. You both have such great advice and are so authentic and caring in your responses.

[@KayleeSchlundt]

I've always said the people answering the calls are reacting so calmly to being called back. The third caller really lived up to how I would react. Loved the episode!

[@Cashhhhew]

Lol how Kwesi got giddy at the phone ringing on the first call was everything right before acting all chill hahaha

[@mel.bon12]

I think the last caller is how I would be if you ever called me 😂 I always never understood how calm cool and collected people are!

[@findparadise]

THE SQUASH DATE I'M CRYING

[@signaturelements]

Oommgggg the girl absolutely losing her mind that you called back 😂😂😂😂 also please get a nerf gun

[@zerocraic3966]

The way she almost blacks out when she hears the guest is kwesi absolutely made my day she is hilarious

[@sidneyraz]

I'm worried about the party guests have to much food and THE LAST CALL IS SO GOOD

[@thelifeofmo3573]

This was one of the favorite episodes! Kwesi has such a great energy. Miles and Kwesi combined is such a great duo!

[@kaiya1313]

Tiramisu is definitely a top tier dessert

[@rhondabear5639]

Wednesday mornings are my absolute favourite because of this podcast!

[@mkwoodstock]

Me too!!

[@sleepypup]

I would love love love to see Kwesi talk about his childhood more tbh

[@shadowcat5517]

I am loving Kwesi more and more with everything he does. He is so genuine and effortlessly funny. Just want to say, you have overcame your shame beautifully. The part where you asked what the audience/viewer want you to do, it takes guts. Artists often do whatever THEY want instead of thinking about what the consumers want. You're awesome!

[@miss_ayla]

Such a fantastic episode! I would personally love to hear Kwesi talk more about dealing with shame, and overcoming that aspect of his trauma. As someone who carries a great deal of shame, and is stuck in the comparison loop, it is invaluable to me to hear someone so grounded and down-to-earth talk about these topics. Love this show. You never know what kind of advice or insight you're going to get. Is it advice about what nibbles to provide during a game night, how to ask for that raise you need, or how to deal with shame? Invaluable and so fun.

[@Kris50000]

Best episode of Perfect Person! Kwesi is great! Kwesi just being himself is what he should do next. He is like sunshine.

[@chrippin]

Aww love Kwesi’s accent that comes out when he talks about his two mamas 1:30

[@Devisalive]

Love this duo fr 😭😭 the bestie brother call was so entertaining 💀

[@jenniferruiz-o8u]

SUCH a great question and beautiful answer at the end

[@MoritAzul25]

Oh my gosh, I keep saying the try guys need to have you two together in videos, I didn't realize you already had Kwesi on your pod.. I can't wait to see how this goes, I literally just started the video

[@kazzlebee]

I'm born and raised in Seattle and I forget that dinner/desert coffee isnt "normal". Nothin hits quite like that 6pm cup

[@jemg9359]

another great episode miles. appreciate these coming out every wednesday n especially w the baby and ur other job. its more than I could manage n brings us all so much joy. big love and maybe try tea in the evenings for less caffeine?? :)

[@jjbeans2618]

I love it when the callers are so excited for particular guests🤗

[@meikusje]

Kwesi has such great vibes. I love OG sidekick Will, but I think Kwesi deserves a spot in the main crew as well! If he wants to, of course.

[@samfrodo81]

I’ve been waiting for this episode. Kwesi’s great 🔥

[@ATrace-pn6wx]

F*ckin Kwesi is a vibe and the more I see him the more I'm here for it. I already know this show will be bomb!

[@tinkemerys3852]

I find this podcast to be very entertaining. However I do believe that Miles is a perfect person for making this podcast because my baby finds his voice soothing and it never fails to put him to sleep. So thank you for everything you do.

[@barmhjertige1]

We all know which mug you’re talking about Miles! But I won’t name it cause you definetely deserve a brand deal or something from them after influencing so many people😂

[@Luckcat16]

We need a follow up video if Kwesi watching squash for the first time!🤣

[@Queen_Ati]

honestly i used to get so anxious about answering my moms phone calls when i was high and the only thing that got me through it was trying to keep everything surface level but acknowledge her feelings. especially when she’s going through so much, some people don’t even want you to talk, just listen so just let that lady talk and get her sh*t off. then when you’re comfortable to respond, do that.

[@bea147_]

yay kwesi!!! he’s so fun. so glad that you had him on the show, miles ❤

[@DaniGreenfairy]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR KWESI TO BE ON THIS. Love Miles. Love Kwesi. I knew this would be a great one.
