spring cleaning for friendships one percent said i was wrong 99 said i was not wrong for that i agree how did the how has it gone spring cleaning wise pretty good gotta say keep in distance let them know i can't hang out a windex an arm of windex length distance yeah well further than that yeah but if they were to come i would spray the windex be gone spritz spritz my hot take of the episode was give fondue the recognition it deserves 17 said i was wrong which jail all of like why why what is the reason 83 said i was not wrong someone said that they just don't like fondue and i was like but the thing is with fondue you can melt anything like literally anything so you don't like food it's called fondue not fond don't like you can literally like it is purely a

mechanism of dipping your food to either a cook it or to sauce it sweet savory like i just i have a hard time believing that anyone who has the um equipment to eat cheese does not like bread and cheese cheese and crackers like it's a it's a delicious snack all things that i i dream about i know me too but my almond cow i'll drop the uh link in the description better fucking to get uh a discount i can make both cheese and crackers with it i haven't tried yet but i'm gonna figure it out it's all been trial and error and i've improved recipes and perfected a few and i'm really excited about continuing on my journey someone said yeah chocolate fondue with fruit is one of my most luxe feeling safe foods 10 out of 10

recommend without a doubt yes yes yes and then someone else top tier snack meal i will invest Megan please design the pretty fondue pots we all deserve I'm I'm ready for it you're not wrong but the only time I went to the melting pot it was the most stressful time of my life because we went for my mom's birthday with 10 of us and I didn't know you only get two fondue burners and we all fought over what kind of fondue to get see that that is valid yeah and if it was more widespread then you wouldn't have to fight it'd be more peace everyone would have their own individual like we have uncrustables you mean to tell me that we can't put a fondue pot in every home whoever came up with uncrustables millionaire brilliant like truly brilliant for the most

basic ass shit that ever existed well and it's like to like to capitalize off of and like i'm sure like trademark and sell at like a at an at a national level something that people have been doing at home all the time easily for forever is absolutely genius like it was like it wasn't a hole in the market no because at all you can just cut the crusts off or people are doing it with like cookie cutters and all of that stuff but they were like no no we know that this is going to be so good and so visually appealing and just like look like this little soft little pocket that they knew that it could crush but also couldn't be further from the truth from being a soft little pocket because if you warm it up in the microwave the peanut

butter gets too melty and the the jelly gets too hot and then they're like you know put it in your lunch box and sometimes it will thaw by the time and sometimes it didn't so you didn't know what you were getting it was a surprise every time yeah they're frozen yes they're frozen and the whole thing is like put it in your lunch box and it'll be defrosted but but the thing is how do know my climate how one you how do you know my climate but like if you just made the peanut butter and jelly at home you wouldn't have to worry about it like it's just so funny to me that like it was able to be this massive success and like i'm not saying like rip off how are people liking this i go no because no i'm all about convenience i totally get it like it makes

perfect fucking sense but like you're paying more money to have less of the bread which i just think is hilarious i bet they'd be good air fried yeah or actually deep fried too well that yeah without question i just can't i'm not one of those people who's like oh i hate hot fruit um but i do not like when it's not like an entirely like fruit based thing like i love a pie like i love a custard but fruit when it's very liquidy it heats up faster that's what i'm saying yeah so i'm like So for me, like that is like my worst nightmare when you have this like scalding boiling jelly, which I'm already not a jelly or a jam girl. Oh, I am a jam girl or a peach preserves or just a preserves as a whole. Preserves are a little bit better for me, but the gelatinous texture paired with the coying like sweetness.

Those are not my vibes, but I liked what it's like a chunky, more like cinnamony spiced kind of like peach or apple preserves in that. science i can do yeah that's that's an even if you think about jelly or any preserves it's very easy to make that at home like all you have to do is put some fruit in a pan with a little bit of sugar and a squeeze of lemon and it's ready in a few seconds but yeah somebody was like you know we're gonna bottle this up and it's great i used to make peach preserves with my grandmother we'd and canned peaches like we yeah it was what an icon different grandmother i whatever your entire family every day i learned new things i don't even know if i responded that text is right we are both dying and then he of course had to go well you know i met hillary clinton i go

of course babe i know i tell everybody the story she made you fruit salad i um on that note uh my dad sent me a note of people that were one away from that person uh and it's a whole thick list that he has compiled a pamphlet but also in this thing he he just drops this that i had no idea about and he goes and you know dr martin luther king jr officiated your great uncle samuel's wedding they were frat brothers at morehouse no i did not know this all right writer number one versus husband who didn't want to have sex after watching vanderpump rules 39 said the writer is wrong 61 said the husband is wrong we did have some people writing about this one saying i only think the husband is wrong in this situation because he

brought up the issue during a vulnerable time he should have handled it better though i do understand where he's coming from uh someone said this feels bad not sure anyone is wrong here it's just a tough situation um and someone said i understand what megan was saying about sometimes it sticks with you and may affect your mood which may make you not want to have sex on the other hand i don't think the writer's wrong to be hurt by him not wanting to and feeling judged i'm kind of middle in this one i think you said that not me i did yeah a lot of times people write in and say that megan said something it was actually me and i take that personally yeah give her the credit uh and then husband may be wrong and how we communicate to the writer but as a

novice housewives watch i completely get how you can watch some mad shit not even realize until afterwards that has stressed you out slash made you hyper aware of how problematic many of the casts of reality tv are and that's where i was on it because yeah i you know i was i was deep in it until i couldn't be anymore because it just was not good for my mental health very valid yeah and someone said not wrong for not wanting to have sex but wrong how he handled the situation writer number two versus boyfriend who didn't post the writer on their birthday 30 said the writer is wrong 70 said the boyfriend is wrong and someone said they've been dating less than a year so posting about birthdays probably hadn't come up as of yet so shrug raise it with him for

the future and if he still doesn't do it then he's wrong i agree probably posted the other people cousin etc because he wasn't seeing them on the day itself and then someone else said um only because he posts other people and literally did his friend the day after so i'd just be wondering like why i think if you're seeing the person on or around the day i don't see a point in also posting an instagram story about it i will note that i do not care about this type of thing at all so i don't think i've ever posted a birthday message on instagram normally i dm or text people so i'm probably the wrong audience for this one which i think is another like it's it it's a divisive divisive non-serious like low stakes kind of thing like

some people are doesn't always have to mean something and then we've got wrong of the week hot pocket booty shooter uh 98 percent says the booty shooter is wrong two percent said the booty shooter is not wrong and i'm guessing those people are probably hangry you know well someone said i obviously know this guy is wrong but i want to know what flavor i don't condone violence but i'd cut a man in protection over a ham and cheese hot pocket i just would the pizza ones are delicious i've heard that those those were a popular one my friend jake like lived on hot pockets um i would like to know where this photo of him was taken because the background is giving me jail the smile is giving me that's what i was saying i i mentioned it in the uh in the episode i

was like he looks delighted with himself maybe he had a meal yeah he doesn't look like a man crippled with regret he doesn't look like he is weighed down by the consequence of his actions so i would just like to know like was this before or after i believe this is his booking photo i know but like i think they gave him a hot pocket they were like we can't deal with this man we don't know what will pop off so we have to feed him over a hot pocket yeah there's a lot the stakes are a little bit higher in here so let's let's make sure we're setting we're starting off on a good foot yeah which you know prisons always like to do so then we have my if it's a white man that that is true it makes it makes the the chances a little higher then we have my

wrong of the week i nominated the teachers off duty podcast 97 said they are wrong three percent said they're not wrong five whole votes would like to know if whether that's an accident or you know the i i think that like there's some teachers who had a lot of feelings about this and um you know it i would never compare it to like a not all cops situation because like the foundation and principles of teachers are not you know it's not a corrupt um wasn't founded and created for a corrupt reason unless i and i could be completely mistaken um and i think that you can be a good teacher but yeah the ignoring or pretending that just the bad ones don't speak for everyone that's obviously true but the bad ones you have to can't just ignore it so someone

said i voted wrong but i did want to give my own input on this i'm currently a teacher in new york and i'm struggling to make the decision if i want to return to the field after getting my master's degree listening to what they stated makes me think of all the current teachers in the field that are burnt out and bitter and just critiquing the job and losing interest in teaching future students hearing the teachers off duty podcast makes me not want to return to the field because i'm afraid of returning to a toxic work environment so i don't like disagree with that but um i just like ableism is not a like a side effect of being burnt out like it's like a totally separate thing it's not a consequence it's not like it's not a result of anything other than ignorance and

bigotry which are uh not like throw away kind of inconsequential things like they're it's bad like it's it's it's bad and I don't think that teachers complete ignorance to something that they're making fun of and acting like they know better than you know parents about it like it's something that like you actually have to know about this like and you're the reason why you're making fun of students with IEPs is because you're saying they hardly qualify so it's not like oh I don't know about it it's like yeah you don't have personal like you think you have more personal experience that makes you a authority figure on discussing this and so i i can see that like yeah i wouldn't want to work with teachers like that and i think there are a lot of good teachers who

don't want to work with shitty ones because the shitty ones you know tend to be a little bit get along better with the admin because they have like the same mo um and they make it a hard work environment for other people but i still that doesn't make them any less wrong as a social worker and former teacher this clip fucking infuriates me most of my clients have ieps or 504 plans and something i hear from them constantly is that they're afraid to approach their teachers i've had clients opt to fail classes rather than speak to their teachers about how they can raise their grades because they don't want to be met with ridicule and disregarded as they've experienced with past teachers if you can't handle working with neurodiverse children teaching is not for you

and another they're so wrong as a therapist i get i get using dark humor to cope and sometimes clients and students are frustrating but there's a massive difference between that and people and being derogatory about the people and children you're in charge you're in charge of caring for unacceptable i wholeheartedly agree with that one as well you can use dark humor when it is something that only pertains to you but you cannot use dark humor on behalf of someone else or dark humor in a circumstance and situation that involves someone else in in that way specifically someone who uh you're you have power over and you have an authority over and they're not there like it's just that's not your trauma that's their trauma and if it is your trauma that's

for a therapist not a podcast um and where's this one uh i'm glad you brought up this one i'm a teacher and this whole thing was appalling first of all quote unquote barely qualifying for an iep is simply not a thing. As teachers, we're supposed to be advocating for our students in order to make learning accessible to all. If you need an IEP, there's a reason you're even going through that process to begin with. So her comment irked me, and she either needs to work with IEP students or be properly trained or something. Now that man, um, what the fuck? His comments were especially disgusting. He's just an absolute ass that should not be allowed to work with kids, and that comment showed his true colors of how he thinks of his students. There's really no excuse for that.

Teaching is a very tough job, and some people are just not meant for it. It's okay to vent to be mad at the system in general. I even understand general ed teachers like myself being frustrated with their IEP caseload like if the IEP students aren't clustered in the classes in a way that's best for the students teachers have so many expectations placed on them and having a lot of students the IEPs means more duties such as extra meetings and clashing schedules in a good school with a good school system and team in place teachers should be able to support these students in a way they need but unfortunately not not all schools are ideal in this way but again the frustration should never be on the students themselves that's a conversation something

needs to happen if it's going to be productive and an actionable thing and like this is what I need and this is the help i need like do a podcast on like how to ask your admin for help like how or like these are the case like this is the number of students i have with ieps that's more helpful all of those sort of things like you're just bitching about it and you're not changing anything and if you can't change anything like okay but you don't bitch about that publicly or privately i think like it's just not the kids faults uh read the most recent episode of but am i wrong about the teachers i think everything you guys said was spot on i'm not a teacher myself but my fiance is this past year was her first year teaching and she was a special education teacher

for second and third graders it was a rough year but only because her administration refused to give her any assistance or guidance she had kids physically assault her and insult her but she never once said a bad thing about any of her students she always talked about how she could do better to assist them and work on their goals however the gen ed teachers were always the ones she caught bad mouthing the students my fiance would come home and tell me how those teachers would call students stupid and other things like that and we were like that is an eight-year-old kid you're talking about like why do you have so much beef with a child there's absolutely people who need to leave teaching if it's so difficult for them to treat students with respect. For my

fiance, she doesn't feel supported by her admin, so she has left that school because it was the right decision for her, but I know she's worried for the kids she's leaving behind. I know those teachers on the podcast won't get fired or face any real-life consequences, but God do I wish they would. It makes me so sad and angry that people don't value students with IEPs the same as students without. Oftentimes, those students are smart. They just require accommodations to help them focus or slow down when taking a test. My fiance had multiple students who would just write down answers in order to be done with a test, but if a test was given orally, then they would ace it even if they don't do well academically they're still people and it frustrates me that

adults view them as lesser because of their disability yep yep yep yep yep i agree with all of that and a burnt out teacher is also not a good teacher so like i don't think that teachers should stay to protect themselves like protect students for the responsibility at all like that's not what i'm advocating for it's like okay well if you want no i think any teacher who wants to leave and has the ability to leave should not feel guilt or remorse on leaving like at at all you can it's the same thing like parenting like if you don't take time for yourself like you children absorb that and they they can feel that and they can understand that and no it's none of that you have to put on your own you know put on your own mask before assisting

others okay so now we're gonna do a little experiment so role play role play if you will but as ourselves but not really the computer versions of ourselves uh so i just for funsies have been putting in the description like putting for the last two episodes of see you next tuesday using the description that bart which is google's ai whatever thing is bart b-a-r-t b-a-r-d and it's like invitation only at this point but um but that was an acronym and i was like no it might be no for by invitation only and i was oh got it got it got it um but but so i uh put in a prompt and and i want to put in the uh disclaimer that this show is not wga at all

nor is it clearly or nor is it sag and clearly we're not writing anything for the show we just kind of talk out the side of our necks uh and so i put in just a prompt that said write an episode of but am i wrong i also did one for don't blame me so if you want to hear that one listen to see you next tuesday that's coming up and so i hadn't put in our names or anything and it just automatically generated this work i wouldn't call it a work of art it's just work i think that's a fair assessment. So without further ado, we are going to be doing a dramatic reading of what AI thinks an episode of this podcast is. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to But Am I Wrong? I'm your host, Megan Rinks. And today I'm joined

by my co-host, Melissa Mons. Hi, everyone. It's great to be here. So today we're going to be talking about a listener question. This week, we have a listener who is wondering if they are wrong to ghost their Tinder date. Ghosting is never fun, but I think it's especially hard to do when it comes to Tinder dates. You're not really sure what to expect, and you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Oh, my God.

They completely misread our entire take on ghosting. Like, no, no, no. Exactly. and i think that's why a lot of people just ghost instead of having an honest conversation but i think it's important to be honest even if it's hard it's better to let someone down gently than to just disappear on them hard disagree and have hard disagreed on this podcast before ai do better do better i agree no i don't and i think the listener in this case did the right thing by ghosting their tinder date they didn't okay i you know what it's a contradiction i am

a contradiction and she's a little wishy-washy and i think the listener in this case did the right thing by ghosting their tinder date they didn't feel a connection and they didn't want to lead the other person on i think that's a good way to look at it it is important to be honest with yourself and with others even if it's not always easy so that's our take on ghosting what do you think listeners is it ever okay to ghost someone let us know in the comments down below and that's a wrap on this episode of but am i wrong thanks for listening oh i wonder if like people who like are podcast haters like legitimately think that that's what a podcast is like you just type it into ai and it's half of a page oh my gosh and you're like and that's it

you work five minutes a day uh-huh yep they think it's so easy anyone can do it anyone can do it but not well sadly anyone can do it anyone can have a podcast and they do anyone has one anyone think person but not well but not well exactly exactly oh wow got me melissa thank you for bringing that um to us especially in a time where you know there are higher-ups bajillionaires telling us that your jobs are going to be taken by ai and to that we say nay no it's not bitch that is the most unsalted bland unseasoned versions of us and but a complete contradiction it does not stand by our values at all no and uh i will say that's probably my favorite part about it because while they did not nail our cadence nor our vernacular they did nail the

fact that sometimes i'm a pivot but i but for ghosting there's a there's kind of a a firm stance on that one like that if this was a pop quiz that would be the throwaway fucking question for our list like that's there of all of the topics we've had i think it's probably the one we have like the most material on on the internet like which is why they talked about ghosting but i'm like but incorrectly but maybe they were like there's no way we have to be reading this wrong there's no way like everyone is so anti-ghosting there's no way these girls are pro ghosts and i also feel like the the um ai mixed up the shows too because listener yeah so and the other one we talked about d-coms which should be more for but am i wrong and you guys can listen to that

on see you next tuesday so oh my god it's so fucking funny wow and just inaccurate yeah like google i love you but you're drunk i'm just not not not so sharp but that's okay maybe you know what it is maybe google is a part of the wga and they're like i'm not no no this is this was supposed to be a fun little thing a little doodah for for us civilians but no no bob eiger took it too far you cannot you cannot use me where's my writing credit oh god it's so good do they do citations by the way in that uh maybe i haven't done enough i i would implore y'all to go read the last two episodes the descriptions for see you next tuesday especially the one from two weeks ago what did it do it's

not in our language in the way that we speak at all it's very detailed with articles what wait wait two weeks ago which episode which podcast i mean see you next tuesday okay i haven't i've only done it on see you next tuesday because it's the only one that it works for it can't it doesn't really work oh okay um oh my god the the decom one yes melissa this is megan is a big fan of decons she says they always make her feel better no matter what she's going through she especially loves the confessions of a teenage drama queen she thinks it's hilarious and relatable she says she can relate to lola's struggle to fit in and her dreams of becoming a famous actress melissa had an eventful week she had a big interview for a dream job we are so

excited for Melissa. We know she will do great in her new job. Good job, Melissa. Hi! What the fuck? This is so funny! I'm dying. Oh my god. Did you do it for the Logan Paul one?

Yeah. You did the same thing? Yeah. Confused by the title? Well, Megan actually said it in this episode of See You Next Tuesday. Megan and Melissa kick off the episode with gluten-free food recs. They recommend some frozen foods from their favorite grocery store, Sprouts. Next, they discuss what they're watching.

Megan has been binging Night Agent, and Melissa is obsessed with Queen Charlotte. Melissa is looking forward to taking Megan to see The Little Mermaid so Melissa can watch it a second time. Finally, they talk about hustling versus grinding. They discuss the difference between two terms, and they share their thoughts on which approach is more effective. Oh, my God. And then there's all of those links. Wait. I.

Martha, this is fucking hilarious. i absolutely love it thank you for bringing this to us you're welcome and i'm mad that this shows that no one reads the descriptions because oh they've been giving me a good laugh by myself i now i'm gonna be checking back every week for those wow and this week they'll be it'll be like talking about itself so it'll be even better it'll be like oh no the con is coming from inside the house wow um obsessed love it thank you we hope you all enjoyed this episode don't forget to vote for yesterday's episode hopefully out today
