I can only tell you what would might make me listen to you if it were flipped. I don't know Jake that well. I know Jade and John, but it ain't the same thing; it just means I'd be suspicious if he smiled at me and said he was fine, and it was more Harley than Egbert. Not too sure how much body language he got from either of them. You have some shit from me and Rose, though, you know.

[ that aside. ]

So, pretend you promised me you'd tell me anythin' he had goin' on that you felt was relevant to me instead of the other way around, and it upset him because whatever the fuck, but despite not bein' happy with the situation he didn't want you to not do that because it would upset me and you both. What would you do next?

[ he could just

explain any suggestions he has in a normal fashion ]
