·24 min·1 clip
"Another Girl" is a Beatles lyric that Lisa misidentifies as advice and then gets corrected.
1. Go Help Yourself frames this episode around a lyric trivia game built from the Beatles album Help and the show's comedy self-help format. 2. Misty Stinnett and Lisa Linke host, Josiah Jenkins returns as the trivia maestro, and his role matters because he controls the lyric round and the tiebreaker. 3. The episode asks whether the hosts can tell Help lyrics from any other song in music history while also joking about self-help advice. 4. Josiah announces the round title "Help, I Need Some Lyrics" and points out that it is the 60th anniversary of the Beatles album Help this year. 5. The hosts set donation stakes for the Wikimedia Foundation, including Josiah's $9 and $26 amounts and Lisa's and Misty's matching moves. 6. The lyric game is numbered one through seven, and each line is described as very loosely giving advice. 7. Early guesses include "Act Naturally," "Another Girl," "Big and Black the Clouds May Be," and "Run and Tell Your Brother, baby, don't run and hide." 8. Josiah uses songs by Taylor Swift, LFO's "Summer Girls," Toni Braxton's "Unbreak My Heart," and Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop" as comparisons. 9. The hosts repeatedly call out how hard it is to keep the numbers straight, and Josiah jokes that the game was built so everyone has a 50-50 chance. 10. The round becomes a running argument about whether the lyrics sound like 1950s or 1960s advice, consent, grit, or parent-child dynamics. 11. Misty correctly identifies at least one Help lyric, and Lisa responds with a self-aware comment about being bad at the game. 12. Josiah explains that the clues were disguised with words like "baby" and "tomorrow," which made them feel closer to oldies than to obvious Beatles lines. 13. The episode briefly pivots from music trivia into a page-count tiebreaker for Mel Robbins's The Let Them Theory, tying the game back to self-help publishing. 14. Josiah describes Mel Robbins's book as the Amazon self-help bestseller at the time he checked and asks for the exact page count. 15. Lisa guesses 352, Misty guesses 1, and Josiah reveals the answer as 311 pages. 16. The hosts react with mock outrage, then connect the result to ego death, humility, and being rejection-proof. 17. The tone stays loose, teasing, and improvised, with constant cross-talk, interruptions, and jokes about sports, music, and the score. 18. The format is a live trivia showdown with alternating turns, a final tiebreaker, and repeated banter about donations and bragging rights. 19. Anyone who likes comedy podcasts, Beatles trivia, or playful self-help jokes will fit this episode. 20. Listeners looking for serious advice or a clean music quiz should probably skip it.
