Welcome to Dear Prudence. I'm your guest Prudence, Anna Sale.

I host the show Death, Sex and Money at Slate.

And today we'll be answering questions about unexpected jealousy, setting the record straight

after a bad breakup, and how to make things work at a job after it took a long time to find one. Here to help me out today

is J.P. Bramer. J.P. is a writer and illustrator originally from Oklahoma. He is the author of

Ola Pappy, How to Come Out in a Walmart parking lot and other life lessons. You also are an experienced

advice giver, and you have been a guest on death, sex, and money.

For all these reasons, I'm excited to be with you again. Welcome to the show, JP.

Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here and to start telling people how to live.

Okay, let's start there. I want to ask you a question that we ask all of our guests, what is one piece of unsolicited advice that you would give to the world unprompted?

You know, I have never once regretted having some form of tums on my person.

You just never know. And if someone else needs tums and you have them,

you're like a god, like a guardian angel. It feels fantastic. They're chewable ones. They basically

taste like candy. It'd be dessert for me, even if there was no medicinal benefit to them. So,

yes, I'm not sponsored by Tums whatsoever, but I love having them.

Are you brand loyal?
