"Fake it till you make it” might be one of the most clichéd, textbook pearls of wisdom you’re guaranteed to encounter in this life. But is this advice actually going to help you when pursuing a job opportunity for which you're less than qualified, or dating a Vegan when you can't stand vegetables? On the first episode of The Pleasure is Ours with Cody Ko, Cody sits down with comedian and YouTuber Drew Gooden to dissect the few merits of faking it till you make it, and the many ways in which doing so could potentially blow up in your face. Drew offers his unique perspective on everything from faking his way through a job that required an extensive knowledge of power tools, to feigning confidence with an attractive stranger he met on Vine — a stranger that is now his wife. Plus, Cody and Drew ponder whether anyone has ever faked an orgasm while masturbating (and now you’re thinking about it too).
