It's relationships. Relationships, I think, of all kinds.
Starting point is 00:00:54 But there's definitely some romantic ones, probably some friendship. All the types of relationships. And I'm here with two my good friends, Ian and Damien. Great to be here, Shane. Thanks, Damian. I've never been in a relationship. We know. No, I'm kidding. All right, I don't know what to say.
Starting point is 00:01:16 I feel like, I'm like, what do you think about relationships? We all have all our opinions about it. I think they're great, and I think everyone should try it. Okay. I think there's a there's a world out there full of relationships. People should dive long into it. Do you just want to start over? I feel like we can just start the stuff like that. No, relationships are great. I think people put too much pressure on finding one and that's how they define themselves, but you know, my hair is getting longer and I look like I'm good at Smash Bros because of it. What do you think about that? I think it's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Great. You know, I feel like, I feel like every Reddit story boils down to relationships. Yeah. So, you know, but I think this theme today, we're getting really into really into really And I'm sure they're all going to be healthy relationships I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. Like everyone's going to be communicating really well. They're, yeah, it's all going to be great stories. I mean really good.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Place your bets on what percentage of these will be able to say 65%. I'm going to say that 40% are going to be somebody wants to do a threesome and that's going to be the cost of the issue. Okay. Okay, we'll see. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. Our first story comes from relationship advice. This is recent too.
Starting point is 00:02:40 this is a 26-year-old woman. My boyfriend, who's 28, is obsessed with a lantern he found at a flea market, and it's getting weird. How do I approach this? Breakup. My, my, my, my, that's an ony right there. Yeah, you gotta exercise that. My boyfriend found a book at a bookstore, and it never ends.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Okay, here we go. There there. There there. There there. There th. There is th. There is th. There is this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this this th. th. th. th. this this th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. theeeeeeee. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. dog dragon. So my boyfriend, who's 28 and I, 26, recently went to a flea market and he found this old style lantern that he absolutely fell in love with. He bought it on the spot and I thought it was a cute little vintage decoration for our apartment, but now things have taken a a strange turn. Ever since he got the lantern he's become super attached to it. He keeps it by his bedside the up in the middle of the night to walk around the apartment with it, pretending to be an old-timey watchman. He'll say things like, all is well, or the night is dark and full of terrors,
Starting point is 00:03:32 and he really gets into character. At first I thought it was kind of funny and endearing, as he always had an eccentric style of me. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

He does this almost every night and it's disrupting our sleep. I've tried talking to him about it but he just tells me that he takes his watchman duties very seriously and that it's important for our safety. The issue is I genuinely cannot tell if he's joking. Has anyone else experienced something like this? How do I get him to tone it down without hurting his feelings or making him feel like he can't enjoy his quirky thanks. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks.

Ooh. I think, uh, okay, first off, this guy is awesome. He's awesome. Yeah, I think some people, it definitely sounds like he's doing a bit. It's definitely doing a bit.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And some people, I think they just don't know when to end the bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think, you know, hearing it initially, I was like, oh, you gotta support their fun thing. You know, I love finding old-timy stuff at random estate sales and flea market things, just little treasures, like, I love that. And any partner I'd have would have to support that, but it kind of sounds like she did.
Starting point is 00:04:36 And now she's like, okay, okay. Okay. Good. I have a hard, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to. to. th. to. to. I. to. I. I. I. I'm. I'm. th. I'm. I'm.

I th. I th. I tha. tha. tha. to. to. to. to. to. to. toeea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. toea. ta. th bit when you're like, I really need you to stop right now. And they're like, stop right now I say. Like, that freaks me out. I don't think she's, I don't think she has, based on the context here, I don't know if she's communicated it like seriously enough. Because she said his response is think he's still like he probably think like she probably hasn't communicated to him that she's done with the bit and she's probably just like she probably still just laughing it off to like not offend him. You know what I mean? Like I think some people like like oh it's like that I think
Starting point is 00:05:17 you should leave sketch where it's like I'm just a little we're just some pig sluts just right eat and slop or whatever she said like yeah where it's just like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like. the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm just like like like th. I th. I'm just like I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I the the the th. I the the the th. I'm just like I'm just like I'm just like I'm just like, I'm just like, I'm just like, I th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi th. I th. I'm just like like like I'm just like pig sluts just right. Eat and slop or whatever she said like where it's just like people just keep taking the bit further and further and unless you say okay we're done with the bit they're just like as long as they keep getting reinforcement they're just gonna keep doing the bit I think she just got to be like hey the lantern stuff was. Emphasis on was. I think she just needs to be like you're waking me up in the the the the to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to be up in to be up in the the the the to. to be the the the the the the the the to be the the the the the the the the the the the the to be just. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.. Yeah................................................................................................ I. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. t. the. the. the. on was. I think she just needs to be like, you're waking me up in the middle of the night doing this. Like, I need to sleep, can you please not do it? Yeah. And then, but the problem is I think as soon as he stops,
Starting point is 00:05:54 that's when you're gonna get a vampire, or you're gonna get it. Yeah. They're gonna to be like, they're falling. If you broke into, okay, if you're, imagine you're a burglar and you break into a house and you come across a man with an old lantern, you're gonna be like, this place is haunted. Yeah, I just came across the ghost. This theoretically could be part of that, like if you call up the store and are like, yeah, my husband's been acting weird with a lantern. They're like, throwing. th. th. thus the thus. thus. the thus. thus. thus. thian, thin, thi. thi. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that. th. th. th. th. that, that, that. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that. A, that. A, that, that, that, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, th. A, that, that, that, they were supposed to sell that? It could be a goose bumps book. He wakes up in the middle of the night, she finds him walking around with a lantern, and then
Starting point is 00:06:30 she looks back at her bedroom and he's asleep in the bed. And she's like, I just got chills. What's going on here? I do think like when you communicate stuff going to hurt someone's feelings at some point. And if you've tried everything, you know, you've got to protect your peace. And if you do it respectfully, like, they might be bummed, but you still got to communicate. The one thing I would recommend is like, speaking your partner's language to start. And like, if your partner's super not getting the lantern thing, there's always this playful aspect where it's like, John Henry McGillicuddy, I haven't seen my husband in so long, and you've been night watching all this time. What about the vow you made to me? What if the night watch only shows up once a month?
Starting point is 00:07:13 Because me, your goodly wife misses you. And it's like, oh, OK, got it. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Some comments here. Well, the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest the simplest, the simplest, the simplest, the simplest answer is usually the correct one. Clearly your boyfriend has been possessed by the night watchman who initially drew him to buy the lantern. Someone else said, not sure why you're worried, he literally says all as well. Someone said, get a bigger, fancier lantern with a brighter light to assert dominance.
Starting point is 00:07:36 Ah, yeah. I like that. I think moth infestation too could take away some of the fun of the lantern. Ooh, because that'd be a big-ass moths and leave him in the house and fly at them. Yeah, a bunch of moths at them, yeah, flying, yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. Moving on. Oh, that's it. There's no update. That's that's that one. I will say though, like, if, if he is ever going though that, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, th going through like a kind of a depressive moment in his life, what she can do is hire somebody to like, maybe like kind of like fake break into the house at like 2 a.m. And then he, when he's doing his little night watchman thing, then he actually like saves the day, and he's gonna feel really good about himself. That's gonna, but then he's gonna keep doing it. Yeah, she's trying to get some reinforcement the th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th, th, th, th, to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do th. th. th. th. th. the. th. th. th. that's thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. What she can th. What she can th. What she can th. What she can th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to do. to, to. to. to. th. th. that's th. he. that's he. he. that's he. he. he. that's he. he. he. he. that's he. he.. That's gonna, but then he's gonna keep doing it.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Yeah, it's gonna get him. Yeah, that's some reinforcement. But you know, if he's having a down day, you know. True. It's possible too if you bought a lantern, you don't wanna hire someone to break in in case he also bought like a cutless and a blunder bus. It's like, oh surprise. He needs that he needs that next. Yeah, yeah. Did you know that they sold the Lighthouse light from the Lighthouse? The auction, A24 auctioned it. Whoa, how much they sell it for? Thousands. It's just for someone else to go mad.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Yeah, I want to I want to hear the Reddit story about that where it's like, honey you'll never guess what I bought. Like, sotterma thi. So like a 24. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. A. th. th. th. th. th. th. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. th. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. the. like A24, sorry, this is going off topic, but A24 had this auction where they're selling off all their props, and I tried to buy the Weekend's wig from, uncut jims, uncut jams, uncut uncut jons. The weekend was wearing a wig of the weekend's hair from that time period. And they were selling that, and I bid on it. But I did not win it. Wow. That's wild.
Starting point is 00:09:28 What would you have done with it? I would have put it on my head. OK, moving on. Our next story, also from relationship advice. My friend and I have a YouTube channel together. People think I'm the ugly one. You know, I feel like I should probably just... I feel like I should probably... I feel like it's just too triggering for me.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Okay, go on. I don't know. I can't relate to this at all. Now, just because there's a pretty one doesn't mean there's an ugly one. Yeah, you know, there has to be. You're both over 18. Our channel th. I channel. I channel. I channel. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. I'm th. I'm thi. I'm thi. I'm. I'm. I'm. I thi. I's the. I's the. the. the. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. tha. ththere has to be. It's, you're either or. We're both over 18. Our channel has just under 10,000 subs. I'm calling my friends Sarah, which is not her real name. I'm being purposely vague.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I always knew that I wasn't the pretty one. We've been friends since we were really young, and I've seen her go from awkward kid to really, really pretty. In school, people always always tha, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thr. thr-a, and thr-s, and throooooooooooooooo''a. thr-s, and thr-s, and thr-s, and thr-s, and thr-s, and they'd do extra stuff for her that she never seemed to notice. I used to be jealous, but we've talked about how I felt back then. I have a boyfriend who makes me feel beautiful now, etc. and I thought I was over it. Recently, since we gained more subscribers, people have been making comments about how sad it must be to be the ugly one. Some of them say my name, but most of them talk about my features that make it obvious that they're talking about me. I've even had people privately message me to suggest plastic surgery. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:10:48 It's hurting my relationship with Sarah. I know she's prettier than me, but until this, it wasn't really a problem anymore. Being compared to her constantly is hurtful. She suggests that we make both of our Instagrams private and make a joint public one, so that we can better control the new the new the new the new the new the new the new the new the new the new the new the new thrtle control control control control control control control control control control we can better control the new hatred towards me. I'm worried that we'll just bring up questions and I'll have to explain that I'm so hurt by people saying this stuff and it's damaging my friendship so much that we've both had to be private. She even suggests that if it gets too bad, we should phase out the channel because
Starting point is 00:11:16 it isn't worth becoming bitter t feel better about being friends with her. Sarah has never made me feel ugly. It's always been other people. She's the kindest person I know and it makes me even more annoyed because I know she doesn't have control over this any more than I do. Edit, huge thank you to this one user, Sloth Jones. They suggested a program that allowed us to find out where the comments. And it's an in-sell forum. It's not just th-thea-the huge-tha-tha-a-a-a-a-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-in-s the the the the the th-s th-s th-s thi-s thi-s tho-s tho-s thi-s thi-s tho-s tho-s tho-s tho-s tho-s thi thi-s thi th th th th th th th th th th th th th th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th th th th th th th th th th th thi-I thi-I thi-I thin thin to-s to-s to-s. to-ni-ni-niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii thin thi thi-n'-n in-sell forum. It's not just random people finding us and making nasty comments. It's sad, disgusting people who have been pointed to our channel because they dislike the fact that I have a boyfriend. Sarah doesn't and they don't have girlfriends. Also I've contacted my therapist and will be continuing with therapy. Thank you so much to everyone who helped me. I've tried up voting everyone I can get to. I've the I've the I've the the I've to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to the the to the the to to the the to to the the to to to to to to their. I've to to the their. I've to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their. I've their. I've their. I've to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their to their their. their their. their. I their. their their. their their their their their. their their the the the the toldld. their told. their. their told. their to to can get to. Wow. This is more like a YouTubeer dilemma than a, I mean, I think it is a relationship dilemma of having any sort of jealousy towards a friend.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I mean, I think like, it's unusual because it seems like actually relationship-wise, their relationship is great. Like, for her friend to be so supportive and wanting to do anything possible to try to like mitigate this issue that's totally out of their control is like great. Like that's super sweet. Yeah, I mean like when it was like, oh, like the ugly one, like everyone calls me their ugly one and stuff like then it made a little bit more sense when I found out that they're like women and like obviously like their targets of a lot more of those kind of comments online. I mean like, that's the issue like you can't seek any sort of validation from people online that you don't know.
Starting point is 00:13:03 And, and yeah, of course it's coming from in-cells. Like, of course. Yeah. No, the type of people who leave hateful comments, it's like, who is that kind of person? And it's also the, when they have anonymity, they get to just do this shit. I just think, uh,
Starting point is 00:13:21 if my thought, and this is a little f-ficked up, but whenever I see a hateful comment, and you know, when you're on YouTube, that's just inevitable, right? It's crazy how people find ways. I'm always like, if I met this person in real life, I probably wouldn't give a shit about their opinion. If they said it to my face, I'd be like, I don't care what you think. Yeah. But because it's anonymous, it's just a thought in your head now. Well like and the classic thing is like whenever you see those people that are like commenting on someone's appearance, it's like, okay let's see you bro. Yeah. Like because it's always like an
Starting point is 00:13:56 anime profile picture and it's like... It's something that's not. It's always a really sad individual. I mean truly they're sad and they need to just, they're clawing other people down to feel better, to feel any sort of control, which just is going to ultimately make them more miserable. But you hit the nail on the head with the anonymity thing because like we're no stranger to nasty comments and obviously I don't know what it's like to be a just over 18 girl on the internet. That's got to the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's the. It's thee. It's thee. It's thin. It's t. It's t. I's t. I's t. I's the. It's the. It's th. the internet, that's got to be a nightmare. But like, text on a screen is going to look the same no matter who it is. Right. It's in so when you sort of get to read that
Starting point is 00:14:34 and espouse a voice to it, you sort of get to imagine who's saying it, and that's where the insecurities come out. Like, 99% of comments that are negative, I don't care, but every once in a while there's something that is said that is already something that I'm kind of worried about about me, and I start to hear it in my own sort of judgmental way, and that's what gets to you. So I want to give these people kudos for being there for each other because, you know, 10,000 subscribers is nothing to sneeze, but at a thiiiiiiiiiiiiii, th... And th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that's that's thi, that's, that's that's that's that, that, that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's, that's is that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's that's that's th.. I I I I I I I I th. And th. thi, thi. thi, thi, thi. thi. thr. thr. thr thr thr thr thr thr thr thr the throoooooooo. that's that's that's that's thi. to sneeze at but at the same time you know valuing your friendship above that is more important. Yeah. I think this this story really comes down to her relationship with herself in a lot of ways because if you're to be in any sort of public-facing job you're gonna get this like it's inevitable especially if you're a woman unfortunately
Starting point is 00:15:24 it's just the internet is so vicious and misogynistic but they they're they they're you you you you you you you you you're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their. th. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. the. the. the. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. the. the. the. the. the. Especially if you're a woman, unfortunately, it's just, the internet is so vicious and misogynistic. But any insults they throw your way, you will, I think, the more you do it, you will learn to discredit it or not take it seriously. But also, it's true, it's like, what if they're saying something that you believe yourself? Then it becomes the dilemma dilemma, thi thi thi thi thuuuu, thi thi, thi, thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th is is is is th is is th is th is is th is th is th is th is th is th is th is th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the th, the thi, thi, thi, you thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. the the thi. the thi. thi. the the the thi. the thi. the the thi Then it becomes the dilemma of, not a dilemma but the challenge of going, well, I have to accept and love myself and deal with my own insecurity of something. And if I work through that myself, then their statements no longer affect me. Because I go, yeah, I know about the thing you're trying to make fun of me for, and I don't care. You know, like if people people I the people I th people I th th th th th th th th they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th. I th. I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know about th. th. th. th. tho, I know about th. th. th. thooo, I know about th. th. theoo. thooo. I know about th. I know about thrying to make fun of me for and I don't care. You know, like, if people are suggesting plastic surgery about something, she's like, you know, I've already, I've
Starting point is 00:16:08 already mentally gone through this whole process and I don't want it because I love myself or who I am, you don't affect me now. And also, like, if you, if Sarah and Teagan, I forget, uh, are going to be like like together doing this YouTube thing for a long time, there will always be comparison. And you have to, like, you and I were joking before this and cut this out if you're not comfortable with me saying it. But like, I get comments all the time where I'm like, hey, I am now the voice of this character in this video game that has nothing to do with Smash. And then I will get dozens of comments where it's like, is, is, is, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is like, is th, is th, is thi is like, is like, is like, is like, is thin, is like, is thin, is thin, is thin, is thin, is thin, is thi, is Shane, is thi, is thi, is thi, is thi, is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this this this this this this.

Is thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thei. thean, thiii. thean, thei. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, that's not that I know of. It's not my choice to cast people, but okay. And like it doesn't necessarily bother me in relation to you at all, but it's like that comparison is going to be there
Starting point is 00:16:55 because people are used to seeing us on screen. Right. Yeah. So, especially if they're a duo, these girls, like, that's just inevitable. Yeah, you're always going to, like I feel like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. the., like, that's just inevitable. Yeah, you're always going to, like, I feel like it's like human nature to compare. Yeah. So it's like, if like any like comedy duo, any group of any kind, I mean, BTS, everyone has their favorite, right? Totally. Yeah, Junkoak, obviously. Of course, of course, as we all, we're all, probably. But yeah, it's, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. Like, like, th. Like, like, like yeah, it's it's a natural thing, but also like,
Starting point is 00:17:28 yeah, it's, it's, it's, that's tough. It's, you know, it's something I can't relate to because women are judged so much harsher, harsher on their looks. Yeah. And, you know, pretty privilege is a very real thing amongst just any kind of person. As we three know. that's is, which is why is why is why is why is why is why is why is th. It is thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, thi. thi. thi. thi. Yeah, th person. As we three know. Yeah. Which is why it's like you can be a perfectly like, you know, a conventionally attractive person and you know, people online are still going to call you ugly. And it's huge for her to realize like, oh, they were calling me ugly because I have a boyfriend and they don't like that.
Starting point is 00:17:59 I believe that, for sure. 100%. It is one thing to realize it but still like internalizing that and being truly okay with it that takes a lot of work so I commend. No it's very impressive. A bunch of comments here. I can definitely say I know what it feels like to be the ugly friend. Being in front of such a huge audience there's no way of escaping judgment. No amount of energy spending to avoid reading comments and fear of others judgment is worth. the. the how much, it doesn't matter much coming from a complete stranger, but honestly, if you are confident in yourself, those comments won't matter. And if you can't say at this moment,
Starting point is 00:18:30 you are confident enough in yourself to realize those people are wrong, you should work towards a goal and become a more confident person. Life is so short and so precious, don't let people in th people th people th people th people th people their the their their their their tho. their people tho. tho. the p into the p into the p into the, and, and, and, and, and, and, their, tho, tho, tho, the, the, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thrown. thrown. thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, and, thro. tho. tho. thoooo. thoo. tho. tho. tho. tho. own way. You don't deserve to put down, you don't deserve to be put down compared to anybody. You are yourself, and as long as you are true to yourself and work for what you want, you'll be happy and no amount of negativity can bring you down. Much love. I hear that. I don't fully agree with that, though. Like I think confidence and believing in yourself gets you most of the way, but comments will still fuck you up.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Oh, they'll always fuck you up a little bit. You know, like, you can have all the confidence in the world, and that's still not going to, like, if you put yourself out there on the internet, like you still have to be prepared to be hurt by some of the things you really know. It's always little little inevitable but as I said if you have accepted yourself and accepted the things you're insecure about and I think be realistic about it. Something that I think an opinion I have is you know people often do that thing where they're like no you're beautiful
Starting point is 00:19:38 you're actually so hot it's like it's like it's like it's okay to say like you you truly like oh I'm not like like they... their. their. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi thi. thi. th th th th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the the the theeee thee thi. theee. thi. thi. thi. thi. you know, truly like, oh, I'm not like conventionally attractive. And I'm okay with that. Like, that's, I think then people can't hurt you. Because to me, that's body positivity of going, I don't need to be conventionally attractive to be a happy person who deserves all the same things as anyone else who can live. And people will do, you attractive like that doesn't mean you're not attractive it's just like oh this standard or whatever no like I've always I felt that you know when I fully finally accepted like oh I'm I'm a shorter guy I'm and that's just the fact of it and cool no Shane you're tall
Starting point is 00:20:20 Shane big big boy but that's you know I remember when it first like when I was younger and I would sometimes like yeah I guess I'm like kind of shorter some people would be like no I think you're like you're not like short but I'm just like it's okay like it's fully fine and I think there's a lot of power in accepting that yeah and and still being like you're still worthy and I know that's that's hard and like I said I know women face a level tho th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I thi. I'm th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th.

And like I said, I know women face a level of judgment that I will never understand. But I still think the principle is there. But it's also true.
Starting point is 00:20:54 The comments are always going to be there. And they're always going to change throughout time, too. They're always going to, are compelled to message you about it slash comment meanly on it, I guarantee nine times out of ten it's people insecure about either their own looks or people who are insecure generally. People care most deeply about the issues closest to home for them. And if you look, and if looking good enough and being good enough is an insecurity in their minds, what better way for an immature person to get out out, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, their, their, to, to, their, th. And, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, and, to, is, and, is, and, is, is, and, and, and, is, and, is, and, is, and, is, is, is, is, is, and, is, is, is, is, is, and, is, is, and, is, is, is, and, is, is, is, and, is, and, is, is, and, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is a their, is a their, and their, their, their, te.e.e.e. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te way for an immature person to get it out of their system than to comment anonymously on a YouTube video? These comments say everything about the people making them and nothing about you. I hope you and your friend can sort this out.
Starting point is 00:21:32 I think that's 100% true. Lastly, someone said, I'm an identical twin. We work together publicly and have for most of our lives. One of us is always referred to as the hot one. Which one has changes depending on a variety, yet unpredictable factors? A few years ago, it became a problem because one of us had occupied the pretty spot publicly for too long, and we were concerned if we didn't take steps to flip that role, it would be solidified. I'm telling you this to say that the public must create a dichotomy of pretty s-slauble with to their........ nothing you can do. The only thing you can do is to mitigate what you expose yourself to. It's painful and awful, but know it has less to do with you and more to do with this division that essentially is designed to punish
Starting point is 00:22:11 women from speaking publicly. That's a crazy. That's huge. Our next story is from am I the asshole for making the age of empires to new villager sound when my wife gave birth to new villager sound when my wife gave birth to our first child? Oh, hey. Is that what it is? I thought it was the o'lolo. Well, it's different, it's different depending on what empire you're building.
Starting point is 00:22:34 You're talking about the priest. That's the hololo. I knew that sound because of you before I'd ever played the game, you did that. And I was like, that's going to be an earworm. What's that from? So. Oh, yeah. So you're talking about when one comes out of the town. Yeah, when you build a worker, I think it's, I think it's. Oh, huh. Dude. Isn't that just Lamas breathing? Isn't that what she's supposed to be doing? So when she gave birth, when she produced her unit, he made the noise. And then he's like, all right, there's some more over there, can you go mine it? Yeah, oh my god. Oh, we need some more wood.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah, go get them on the wood right away. Just digging into the epidural. Yeah, and then I, you know, it's like, hey, can you get us some food? cheese steak jimmies. Yeah. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible. Just over a week ago, my wife gave birth to our first child. I got called about it during work and rushed to the hospital to be with her during labor. It was obviously a very stressful time as it took more than 15 hours from start to end. But finally, our little one was born and was healthy. I was in the room for nearly the entire time, other than briefly heading out for food, toilet, etc. Holding her hand and being the punching bag as she swore during the worst of it.
Starting point is 00:23:49 As it was getting towards the end, just as the head was coming out, and it all happened very quickly from then, more medical staff came into the room, and I am someone who gets nervous around lots of people. I think because of that nervousnessness, I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was I was the nervousnessed I was I was the nervousnessed, I was the nervousnessed, I was the nervousnessed, I was the nervousnessed, I was thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was thi, I was the the the thi, I was thea-a', thea' the thea', the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to the new people coming in, making jokes, saying I hope it's not a bad omen that the weather is so bad, because a thunderstorm had started outside that we could hear. And then when our baby finally came out fully, at that second, I made the age of empires 2, new villague sound. Shhh. As a joke, the thrown, I th only my wife understood the reference as the doctor gave no reaction. The look she gave me could have sunk a thousand ships. She looked so, so angry, before seeing our little one and finally smiling but didn't look at me for about half an hour.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Even then, she was really annoyed for the rest of the day. Anyway, I thought it was a joke that went down badly in a moment of high anxiety, but my wife has twice in the past week told me that I ruined a moment that she hoped would be one of the best moments of her life. I've apologized both times, but she has this look I've never seen before, something beyond disappointment. It's really put a downer on the past nine days of what I thought would be our happiest time together, after what was obviously a very stressful time, for her mostly, of course, of, of, of, of, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the thi, the their, thi, the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. the thi. thean ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. ti. the t? How did, like I love that she clocked it. Like, just like in all this, in all this like, you know, chaos of 15 hours and this one moment he goes, she, oh, that one single thing she clocked.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I think it's incredible. Well, that's a good point. Like, what does this game mean to them? Is he constantly playing it instead of doing stuff around the house? Or did they play it together? And now she can't because she was in labor and she's bummed. Yeah. Like, how does she clock it? The verdict on this was asshole, which I think is, I think it's fair.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I'm not saying like, this is the worst guy ever, but it's like, hey, yeah. I think, I think, like, honestly, what was worse was him saying, is this a bad omen? That they're like, why the fuck would you say that during labor? I will say all of his post makes it sound like he was the hardest part of her labor. Yeah. Yeah, actually. And he's just there cracking jokes the whole time. Good luck, because the kid might, that's half of him. I know. You're gonna saddle up.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Um, the comments, I think definitely sum it up pretty well. Someone said, wow, your whole post is just all about you, and I'm going to guess you are the main character in every story. Apparently your wife loves you enough to have a child with you but maybe it's time to grow up and become a little more self-aware. This was not the time to try to grab the spotlight. You're the asshawl, you're the asshole. You need to know when to be serious. Excessive, inappropriate silliness is a sign of immaturity. You felt anxious so you did something stupid that hurt your wife while trying to soothe yourself. Lastly, someone said, you're the asshole. Yeah, not intentionally, of course. But your wife was physically and emotionally drained and hoping for a beautiful point,
Starting point is 00:26:58 not the time to make a joke. Yeah, I can see that for sure. I'm somebody that like I can vocal stem and I can like be a little bit, I either like shut down or become more verbose when I'm super anxious, it's just kind of how I'm wired. But there does come a point where like, of course there are some people out there that just truly can't control it. But for the most part, you've got to be careful about stuff like that and know the time, I can maybe see a world where like he was doing that throughout the labor because he's nervous, you don't know if the baby's going to be okay and be healthy, but then when that moment happens, that's when it's like, hey, let's lock in and have this sigh of relief together. Well, a different sigh. And like, yeah, I'm sorry because I realize this is thi thi thi thi thi the thi thi the only thi the only thi the only that's the only that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. that's that's that's that's. the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. the thi. the the thi. the thi. the the the the thea. the thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. thea. that's that's the is of saying like I'm sorry, have a moment like that comment suggested of just like, hey, I'm sorry because I realized this was stupid and indicative of something, you know, we'll try again with the next five.
Starting point is 00:27:55 And yeah. I agree with the asshole verdict, largely because of this post. Because he went to Reddit and the way he wrote this post, I'm like, you're still just thinking about yourself a little bit. Like... It's just like the, it's the behavior like overall. Like it's not the, it's not the she- Because if he just did that, but it was like a supportive person.

One of my favorite things when you're talking to someone in a tough situation is just asking like, hey, do you know how you'd like to be supported right now? Would you like some distraction? Do you want a vent or do you want some solutions? And sometimes if someone's done the work, they're like, oh, damn, I'd really like some

Am I the asshole for leaving my boyfriend because he bought his female best friend lingerie as a joke? Whoa! I'm sure it was a perfectly innocent purchase. Let's hear him. I have read this post before, and it is wild.
Starting point is 00:30:47 Okay. Got a pose for this one. My boyfriend, who's 28 and I, a 24-year-old woman, have been together for a year and a half. I love him a lot, and he has been pretty amazing to me. He is also the sort of person who has lots of friends and his friends. He also loves to the sort the sort the sort the sort the sort to the sort to tho to tho to tho to tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thus thus thus tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho thi tho tho-a th.

Just for context, he has two female friends and three male friends. This is about my boyfriend and one of his friends, Claire, a 28-year-old woman. Clare is a nice woman and we
Starting point is 00:31:15 are friendly. My boyfriend also has never ignored me in favor of his friends or talked over me in front of them, which is why I don't understand if I'm in the right. They, my boyfriend's friends, had a recently escalated prank fight. I had made it clear to my boyfriend that I am not good at jokes and am rather stiff, and he said he would keep me out of it. Claire, my boyfriend and another friend, Kyle, a friend, the-year-old man, had a huge throwing water balloons fight in Kyle's backyard. Then my boyfriend got pranked with dye in his body wash. Then Kyle got pranked by Claire. Something about whipping cream and oven mitts. But the issue was when my boyfriend bought a red lacy lingerie set and he planned to put it in Claire's room the next time he went over.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I said it was a tacky prank and why would he buy laundry? None of the previous pranks have been of this kind and it makes me really uncomfortable. I also felt like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like th. I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I to to the to to tooom. it makes me really uncomfortable. I also felt like if I was Claire I would feel gross about it. But my boyfriend got mad and defensive and told me Claire is cool like that and she would think it's funny. I admit I get a bit weirded out when he calls Claire extremely beautiful and jokes about how she has always been way out of his league but I thought it was nothing and they were like family so I guess it was their thing. However, the lingerie prank had me put my foot down and I said that he was wrong to give another woman laundry, no matter who, when he had a girlfriend. We fought and I said I wanted to break up, which he didn't want to and said that I was just overreacting. He said that I was too conservative and needed to open my mind when he had never given me a reasoned, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the the the the the the the the, the, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I'm, and I was thr-a, and I was the the the the their, and I their, and I their, and I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, and I, and I, and I, thr, thru, thruui, thruuuuuuuuuuuan, thruuuuuuan, and said that she and my boyfriend have been friends for a long time, and inside jokes are just that, and I'll learn with more age.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I still feel weird about this. My best friend is supportive of me no matter what I do, but I have started to feel like I'm blowing this out of proportion. My boyfriend says that the fact that he told me and didn't hide it's, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, the the the tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thrown, thrown, and, and, and, tho, and, and, tho, and, th, th, and, tho, tho, tho, tho, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, is, is, is, is, is, is th, is th, th, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the tho, thin, thr, thr, thrown, thrown, thrown, thrown, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, togu, togu, togu, thr-s, thr-s, thr-s, th I have started to feel like I've blown this out of proportion and maybe it's my fault I can't take a joke. I really feel awful about this whole thing. Am I the asshole? Edit. The people asking what the prank is with the lingerie?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Apparently it's an inside joke. It's an inside joke. She had some problems with the color I told my boyfriend it was cruel, but he said it wasn't a trauma thing, just an inside joke. Claire also said over the phone that the laundry thing was just an inside joke of their college days. Nah. This is some weird shit, man.
Starting point is 00:33:36 Yeah. It's like, I know this words used a lot, but like, it's almost like this whole, like everyone's like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th....... th.... th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the the the the the th. the sort, like, it's almost like this whole, like everyone is like, it's almost like everyone's like gaslighting her. I think that's a fair use of the word. Like, it's like, everyone's like, no, you're overreacting, you're overreacting. I, you know, like, there was a moment at the very beginning of this story, where I was like, okay, maybe it's like, thii. thr-a, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th more I heard, the more I was like, I mean, the thing that tiped it over for me was like, she told him not to do it. She said, this makes me uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:34:09 Please don't do this. He did it. And he said, you're overreacting, dummy. It actually doesn't make you uncomfortable. And did it anyway. And it's like, OK, at that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th. th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. this this this this thi, this thi. thi. thi. this th. th. this th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. this thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. ta. ta. ta. this this this this this this this this this makes this this makes this this makes this this thi up to it are pranks, right? It's like, oh, water balloon fight, or I put dye in your, whatever, I put whipped cream in your oven mitts. And then it's just all of a sudden, it's like this thing where it's like, what would it be a funny prank if I, what if I bought her laundry and then I would like, oh my god, what if we, what if we, what if we had the thrown, what, what, what, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th...... W. W. W. W. W. W. W. What, th. W. th. W. th. W. W. th. th. th. W. th. W. W. th. th. W. W. W.'d be so freaked out. The little candle near her bath. Oh my god, what if we went on vacation for a month and, you
Starting point is 00:34:49 know, what if we had an open relationship as a prank? Please? What is the age of the people involved here? Because you said Claire was 28. Okay, so this is. And and the friend Claire told her like, oh you'll learn to like be cool with this stuff with age age. the their their their th. their th. th. their. their. th. their. Oh, their. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, to, to, to, to, their, their, their, to, to, their, their, their, their, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, the, the, they. Oh, the, the, the, they. Oh, they. Oh, the, to, the, to, the, to, the, to, the, to, the, to, to, the, to, to, they. Oh, the, to, they.... And the friend Claire told her like, oh, you'll learn to like be cool with this stuff with age. That's, that's, that's condescending. This, that makes the gaslighting feel weird. I don't think I read the, I can't remember the update. But I remember my initial feelings when I read this story was like, I was like, oh, they're cheating and they're both. just gaslighting her together. Yeah, it's even if it's not, like let's say it's entirely innocent. I don't think it is, but let's say it is.
Starting point is 00:35:28 If your partner is saying, I am uncomfortable with this, you have to at least address it in good faith and not just say, oh, you're overreacting. Like, that's not okay. So at the very least, when she's grounds for like that in general. 100%. And I also think like had they been the same age sort of on like the same status in the same friend group, like it's not even like it makes me uncomfortable. It's like a, oh you bought what for your for your friend? Huh. Yeah. Let to let you rethink that one and maybe return it. The fact that he didn't even second guess this at all. I'm like he doesn't have any respect for you. And she like set her boundaries, like I feel like she made it very clear and he just
Starting point is 00:36:06 did it anyway, which is super disrespectful. He's only talking about how Claire won't, this is nothing to Claire, like it's not going to offend Claire, but it clearly offends her and he didn't think about that at all. And I'm curious too. She said like, you know, there's no reason to be insecure be insecure be insecure be insecure be insecure be insecure be insecure be insecure be insecure to be insecure to be insecure to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be that that that that that that that that that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a th. thi. thi. thi. thi. their th. th. their their th. thi. their th. thi. thi. thi. that's a that's a th know, there's no reason to be insecure leading up to this. But she clocked that like, he had said that Claire was out of his league at the point. In what context does that come up? I know, I'm like, that's weird.
Starting point is 00:36:34 That's a weird. That's really weird. I mean, I think, generally, like, that the O.P. at some point in some moment of insecurity asked him like if he thought that whatever her name was, like Claire, was hot. And he, you know, just being honest, you know, said that she was like beautiful and like. But it's so disrespectful though to be like, she's out of my league, but you're not. Because yeah, 100% and also that's like direct comparison of like,
Starting point is 00:37:11 oh her in relation to me, no, that could never work. Because she's too attractive for me. It's like, all right, well, what if she wasn't too attractive for you? Oh, yeah, well then, then 100 percent, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, let, th, th, th, then, then, then, 100, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, then, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. th. th. th. th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's, the, these events all together, you run. Run. Verdict, not the asshole comments. Not the asshole. You weren't blowing this out of proportion. How is buying laundry and putting it in someone's room a prank? You'll learn with age.
Starting point is 00:37:35 There's a four-year age difference between you and Claire. Does she think in four years you'll somehow think buying laundry is acceptable and somehow can be considered a prank. Girl, I'm in my 40s and I can tell you right now, that would never be an acceptable inside Joker prank. And you, and your boyfriend telling you you're the problem because he didn't hide it from you is just plain trying to manipulate slash gas light you. You don't need him to agree to dump his ass. You deserve better, drop him th. th. A separate thing is like what I've noticed with like the because y'all did a Reddit stories on pranks, right? Yeah. And I think my last one here. Okay, nice. So I think like another thing we need to talk about is why are people so fucking bad at pranks?
Starting point is 00:38:34 Yep. Our argument was like do pranks even exist? No? I don't think the diet and the body wash I think that's pretty good prank and whip cream in oven mitts like that's............... the the the the the the th. th. th. Do. Do. Do. Do?? th. Do. Do. Do. Do, I? Do, I, I, I th. Do, I th. Do, I th. Do, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I's, I's, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. Do, th. Do, th. Do, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th.

Those. Those. I'm, those. Those. I was, those. Those. I was, those. I was, those's funny pretty good prank and and and whipped cream in oven mitts like that's sure a prank to me I'm like it's only funny if it's funny to the person you're pranking and also doesn't offend anyone else like but I think like I you know I think everyone I like to believe that everyone has like a sense of humor but there's some people that I think like this guy if it's truly a prank like it's like you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you th you th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. the the the the thi the. the. the.

I the the the the the the the the the the the theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee the the the the the the that I think, like this guy, if it's truly a prank, it's like, oh, you're like legitimately not funny. Because you don't understand what a prank is. Like if this is your idea of a prank, then you just don't know comedy?
Starting point is 00:39:22 Yeah, I think this was an excuse for him to throw out a line and see like... Yeah, I think so. Another comment here, my ex-fiance was gifted lingerie on friendship day by her male best friend. I was extremely uncomfortable. We later broke up due to the fact it turns out he escalated it to sex at some point afterwards. As a man, no man buys a woman underwear unless he to see her in it. You don't buy sexy laundry as a joke gift. The prank war is just an excuse that gives him deniability because he is a coward. Sounds to me like you struck too close to the truth for his comfort and he has shocked his perfect deniability plan didn't work. Lastly, someone said if he's telling you that this girl is out out out out out out, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the their, the thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th th th th th thi, is thi, is thr--I, thr-I, thr-I's, thr-I's, thr-s, thr-s, thr-I's, thr-s, thr-s, thr-I's, thr-I's, thr-I's this girl is out of his league, you're out of his league, move on.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah, and I'll say this too, like a large portion of my friends are either women or gender queer or just like people that I could theoretically be dating. Sure. But I don't see them that way. And similarly, if I have a partner, they need to be having that same kind of freedom too with who their friends could be. But I have been in a situation before where someone's guy friend turned out to be way more and I didn't find out to like way down the line. But the point is, if you are uncomfortable with that situation, it doesn't really matter
Starting point is 00:40:40 whether something is happening or not. A boundary is being crossed in your relationship, therefore you need to be able to address it respectfully and maturely with each other, or this ain't a match. Because either you are, you know, not comfortable with them having a friend like that, or there is something going on. Right. But it's the same result. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Update. Let's go. My inbox flooded with DMs, and I had to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to the to the to the the the the same result. Yeah. Update. Let's go. My inbox out flooded with DMs and I had to turn off Reddit notifications. When I posted this, I was ready to be called immature and ridiculous and get a couple of comments, but it seemed like the post blew up and the comments were kind of eye-opening. To be honest, before all this fiasco, my boyfriend has always been nice to my grad school functions, even though he found them very boring, but would do it so that I could network. He builds stuff like furniture and helps out with handiwork all the time. He is also very funny, and at the very beginning I thought all his jokes were funny, and I sometimes wondered why he wanted to be with me.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Plus, I was always busy with school and job interviews. His mom and I had even gotten close, and she has been saying how happy, toe.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I.

He's thethat we were together. I had always ignored his and Clara's weird dynamic because I told myself I was being insecure. I have male friends too and I thought that just because we weren't like that doesn't mean my boyfriend and Claire can't be close. Claire has also never been outright mean to me. She was just aloof and I thought it was because I was new to the group. To the actual update, my boyfriend and I broke up. I'm sorry guys, but even after seeing so many replies on how he was cheating, I refused to believe it. I'm still in love with this guy, and he called me like a half day after I wrote this post and asked to meet.
Starting point is 00:42:14 I met him and he said that he understood where I was coming from, but I was always too uptight to understand that friendship is friendship. He and Claire had known each other for years before I came into the picture and I cannot expect him to just ruin their dynamic. I asked him what sort of dynamic was red lingerie. Why couldn't it be literally any other type of clothing? He told me he had it with my insecurities and that he and Claire talked and apparently I was making them sound like cheaters and that he thought it was better I find someone like told a too'n't a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the to.

He had always known I had insecurities about being called boring. He always complimented me on how his weaknesses were my strengths. Now he says things like this, to me. Also, before this laundry fiasco, I had never said a word about his and Clare's friendship.
Starting point is 00:42:59 I always supported his pranks and practical jokes no matter my opinions on them because I thought it was his business, what he did with his hobbies. And he leaves without even putting up a fight because his girlfriend didn't want him giving laundry to the woman he constantly refers to as his sexy, bestie. What? What? What? Yeah? What?
Starting point is 00:43:18 Clare didn't call her text after the breakup either, but Kyle did and said that he was sad that we broke up? the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, told, told, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, together... together. together, t t t ttoo. ttoo. ttooomorrow, tooomorrow, tooomorrow, tooomorrow, toe, toe, toe we broke up and he hoped I would be okay in the future. I asked him if my boyfriend ever cheated on me. He said that my boyfriend had only been a one woman man when he was dating me, but he could understand that some women can't handle female best friends, especially if they look like Claire. I told him to fuck off and blocked him. It felt like he only wanted to gloat and hurt me because my boyfriend left. I feel like I never knew these people. Claire and Kyle were always at least decent to me, if not nice. Did it make me a free target now that my boyfriend has been telling his friends I'm
Starting point is 00:43:50 an insecure child? I don't know what to do now. I've been told repeatedly by both my friends and sister that I dodged a bullet, but I've been breaking down like a kid again and again. even thinking of going to therapy after feeling the most insecure I felt my whole life. Thank you all those who were supportive. It feels like my now ex-boyfriend just did the work for me. Wow. Yeah, I don't, maybe they weren't cheating, but it does seem like it's a dynamic where he's absolutely in love with Claire and Claire loves that power dynamic.
Starting point is 00:44:18 And it doesn't even matter because he, they are all so disrespectful towards her. I think yeah I think like they sound like a horrible match where she like and I'm not putting this blame on on her but like she does sound like there are some serious insecurities. Oh yeah. And he is the absolute worst person for that. Well, he probably found her and like clocked her. And I don't know like how long were they together for? A year and a half. Year and a half. So she was like 22, 23 when they met.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah. I think he clocked like, oh, you're super insecure and I can manipulate. And he may not even been consciously thinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkinkink thinininininininin that thin thin thin thin, like thin, like thin, like thi, like thi, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th consciously thinking that, but he just felt that. Because also the things that she listed that was like, he's so great for me. She's like, he comes to my grad functions and he makes furniture. And it's like, is that really like, is that really where the bar is? I mean, yeah, the amount of times it's been like, oh, I's the amount, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I........ the the the th. th. th. th. th. thin, thin, thin, thin, he. thin, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's like, he's like, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's.

Starting point is 00:45:27 birthday or anniversaries? It's like nope, never had flowers and I'm just like holy shit. Yeah the bar is he's not awful to me. Yeah I don't think it matters whether he's cheating or not, he is super disrespectful to her. Yeah I believe that they weren't cheating. Yeah there the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their is their is their is their their their their their their their their their their their their their their.

Great, but it's going to take a special kind of partner to be like, oh yeah, I'm like that with my dude friend. How does he feel about that? But still, like, you would have a problem with it. It's a very specific relationship they have.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Yeah, well, and I would would would would even, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, and obviously, this information but like I would very much believe that you know Claire does see him as just a friend and I think he's just waiting for the moment to try to get with her. Totally that's what I believe. Ugh. Sexy Bestie? Who the fuck says that? I know she keeps revealing new information where it's like... They were giving each other CPR back and forth when I walked in on him in his room. I do hope she goes to therapy, you know, her phrasing of like, I'm even thinking of going to therapy. It's like, you should go therapy. Like, for sure.
Starting point is 00:46:32 Yeah, everybody should. Yeah, I think that's, I think she could afford it. I thinn't that's that's tha, I tha, I tha, I tha, I tha, I tho, th. Hey guys! See Bobcat Goldfrey! I've been with my boyfriend for two years. It's a 23-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man. After we met online, we were long distance, but he only texted me, and at one point I told him I couldn't continue without a video call to ensure he is who he says. He said he was insecure about his voice, he said he was insecure about his the phone, kept putting it off th. until I gave him an ultimatum. We had our video call. I told him I loved his voice, and we haven't had a problem with calling since.
Starting point is 00:47:06 His voice was raspy, like strained vocal cords, so I figured that was why he was self-conscious. When I met him, it was the same thing, deep but raspy and horse. It was kind of sexy to me, and I made sure he knew so he didn't feel insecure. After we met, we saw each other every other weekend, alternating drives, until we got a place together in my town six months ago. He's met my family and friends, but I've only met one of his friends because he was his roommate.
Starting point is 00:47:31 He says his other friends aren't really close, and he has a strained relationship with his family. His mom has been calling him since he moved, but he always ignores them. I don't want to go into detail why he didn't want to talk to her, but I eventually talked him into giving it a try. Earlier this week, he actually took the phone outside and called her back, but asked me for some privacy. They talked for almost three hours. When he finally came in, he looked happy. I asked him how it went, and immediately he answered really he answered really well. But I swear he sounded like a muppet. It was not my boyfriend's voice by a long shot. He went from a deep raspy voice to Mickey Mouse.
Starting point is 00:48:06 I sincerely thought he was joking. So I laughed. He started a coughing fit, but I thought he was laughing too. Nope, he asked what I was laughing at, and I told him, whatever that impression was, legitimately thinking he was making some weird joke. The absolute difference in voices made it sound like it was out of a cartoon. He got pissed th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thus thus thus thus thus thus thus thus tho thus thus thus thus thus the the the thus thus thus thus thi thi thi. their their their their their their their. their. their. their. the the the the the th. the the th. the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their their the the the. It was not the like it was out of a cartoon. He got pissed at me, went back to his regular gravelly voice I guess and told me
Starting point is 00:48:29 his voice cracked from talking too much. Well today when he was ignoring his mom's phone calls again and when I asked why he got quiet. After trying to figure out what was wrong with him he finally opened up that he's been faking his voice our entire relationship to the point he believed it. And when he talked to his mom, his natural voice just came out and I embarrassed him. I don't know what to think. I feel like an asshole for laughing at him, but it's not my fault that he lied about his voice and then randomly went from the witcher to Sesame Street. Edit. I've been up all night talking with him about this. He keeps going in and out of voices. He admitted to me that all the problems he said about his mom were exaggerated so I wouldn't meet her because she'd known his, she'd know it's not his voice and call him
Starting point is 00:49:12 out on it. Bro, so is he just a castrato? Is that his deal? Like a Castrat? Like Vienna Viena Boys Choir? Yeah. Oh, oh. Dude, look, you can't control your voice and I can't, imagine, you know, something so inherently tied to how people perceive you, you know, being something you're that uncomfortable with. I'm sure that's really difficult, so I can feel for him there. But he lied for their entire relationship. That's the problem. That's the red flag. Like, yeah, sorry your voice is odd, but no. Like, I can feel like, I he th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I can th, I th, I can't th, I can't th, I can't th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi can can't th. th. th. th.

I can't th. I can't th. I can't th. th. thi thi thi thi thi thr thr thro thro thr. thr thr thr thro thr. thro thi thi thi thi thi th's the problem. That's the red flag. Like, yeah, sorry your voice is odd, but no, like. I was just doing like a corpse husband, like. It's nice to meet you. Yeah. Henry Cavill. Yeah. You're looking pretty good.
Starting point is 00:49:58 I'm going to go talk to my mommy. I, you know what, I think, I do think, to a certain certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain to a certain tothink, I do think to a certain degree, this is relatable for every person. When you go on a first date, or at least, I guess I can't say that for other people, but for me, this was something I clocked when I was younger, that when I was going on first dates, I wasn't putting on a voice, but I was definitely putting on like, I was like, oh, I'm try and try and to act, to to act, to act, to act, to act, to act, to act, to act, to act, to act, to act, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. to to to thi. toe, toe, I'm, I'm, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, th....... I, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, toe, toe, toe, the.a. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. toe. to act way cooler. I am trying to change myself. And I'm like, fuck, at a certain point I got to let this go. This is exhausting. And I'm like, oh, it's so much better to just be your authentic self and know this person's
Starting point is 00:50:34 into that so you can relax. Because you then end up in a situation like this. Yeah. I can imagine, like, obviously, this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a this is a voice that he's lived with his entire life and has probably been bullied a lot in his younger age. And so it's probably been like hammered into him like you will not be accepted with your voice and so for him to like for him to like build this relationship with somebody through text and be like, but once she finds out my voice I'm going to be rejected. Like I just, I feel really bad for him.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I also really want to hear his voice. I know, she's like, how long have you been lying to me? And he's like, six months. Yeah, when she says Sesame Street, that's what you mean. He's the count? That's why. I can't wait to eat your meal. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I, th. I, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th. I just, I just, I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I the. I the. I feel the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the. That's why. I can't wait to eat your meal. I know it's like which Muppet. But also like there's like there's like I think I think it's like it's like it's also like you can look at it as like a super power
Starting point is 00:51:36 like there's people to have very unique voices and that really sets them apart and it and it's and it's interesting. Yeah. I think in high school, yeah, it fucking sucks. Sure. But at 20, once you're 26, like, I don't know. I, I have never, you know, I have never met someone where, or been interested in someone where their voice was ever like a thing that. Claught, like, sent me one way or another on my attraction. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:06 But that's me personally and it sounds like she probably wouldn't care either. It doesn't matter what you're insecure about but if that's that big for you that you're going to hide things like you kind of have to lead with that front and center. You kind of have to be like hey here's my voice, can't change it like I think it's silly, don't you? Ha ha ha, do you still like me? And if that person doesn't like you, that sucks, but also, it already wasn't going to work out. Yeah, you can't fake it forever, as is clear to see. No, and it's affecting things like,
Starting point is 00:52:35 oh yeah, you can't meet my mom or my friends, because I don't want you to hear that's for damn sure. Verdict was not the asshole, comments, not the asshole. Lying about his voice is one thing, but making up more lies so that you don't meet his mom to cover up the original lie is a super red flag. I can't believe he threw her under the bus like that, L-O-L. He only confessed because he got caught, even thou-in-l-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-o'-n't th- about? Someone else said, not the asshole, this is wild. While what he did was absurd, I feel bad for the guy. He walked himself into the worst confirming evidence he could he could have asked for. He told you he was self-conscious which made you told you to tell you the true voice, he to tell you told you told you told. tooe he the the he he he he he he he the he he he he he he he the he he to to to to to to to to to the the told told told told told told told told told he was told told told the told told told he he he he he he he told told the told told told the told told the told the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the this up better to make himself more self-conscious about his voice if he tried. What a boondoggle.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Yeah, because I can imagine, I guess I didn't clock that it was two years. That's wild. It's fucking nice. What a stretch to keep up a bit. But I think like, like, I don't want to be like, I don't want to be like, oh she should like break up with him or anything. Like I feel bad for the guy. Like, to keep a lie going that long is messed up. That's a lie partner is messed up. That's, but I can imagine like, in his head he was probably like, okay, if I do it just a little bit longer, thi.
Starting point is 00:53:59 theymea, theyre. to accept my voice. If I do it just just a little bit longer, just a little bit longer. There's no malice to it but it is manipulative. You're lying. It is. Yeah. The lies about the family and stuff is crazy. For two years you you like didn't meet his family. But that's just like pure shame. I know but damn. Like that level of insecurity is a problem. Like this is crazy. Yeah. And he he sounds like Mickey Mouse according to thi to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to to to to to to to that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is that is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thi. thi. that is manipulati. But. I is manipulative is m. I is m. I, this is crazy. Yeah. And he sounds like Mickey Mouse, according to her, and Mickey Mouse is hot. Yeah, he's had a girlfriend for forever. Yeah. And he also closed the door to darkness in Kingdom Hearts.
Starting point is 00:54:36 That's true. And I will say that is the one voice I wasn't doing when we were joking about Sesame Street. So good on us for doing Cookie Monster in the count. None of us did a Mickey voice. I will say I did call his voice from the very beginning because the video that I'm talking about. Did I have a voice like this? Oh yeah, yeah. You know what you can do? There's a thing that's, it's not helium, I think it's like a tetra-hydrogen hectoxane or something like that. It makes your voice all all all the voice th. It makes your voice the voice th. It's all th. It's all th. It's all th. It's all th. It's that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that's that's that's that's that v.

It's like that video that video that video that video that video that video that video that video that video that v v v. that v. It makes your voice. It makes your voice. It makes your voice that makes your voice that makes your voice that that that that that that that that that makes your voice that that that that that th. It makes your voice makes your voice makes your voice th. It makes your voice th. I makes your voice th. I make that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that where you're like, I remember Ian came into the room and said, you're the king of smosh now, and that took me by surprise. Do you think when she laughed, like he accidentally let the voice out, and she laughs, and he just goes, WAHPA! I'm obsessed with you. Fuck, we did it! It's the best quote. It's the best quote. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. th. the the the the the the the the th. th. the the the the the th.

Starting point is 00:55:27 Lastly, someone said, not the asshole, because it wasn't your fault, and how could you know? But I also feel for the guy, if he has this much trouble and insecurity, and you, someone who loves him, laughs upon hearing his voice. I can't imagine what growing up like that must have been for him. If you're going to be with him with him, the the that you want him to be himself. Yeah. I agree. I also think if I was in her situation I wouldn't be able to get past this. I wouldn't be able to get past the lies. Like I said, I'm not someone
Starting point is 00:55:53 who cares about voices, but if someone lied for two years to this extent, I'd be like, I can't. This is this is crazy. We're restarting in a way. Yeah, you just you need to have that from the beginning. It's like Any way you present yourself. You got to own those things. Yeah, you got to own it, man Like you got to it. It goes back to what we're saying earlier like yeah, like you have a silly voice. Cool. Like own it. If you own it, if you own it and you own it, you own it, and you own it, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and you th, th, to th, th, to th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, and you to to own to own to own it to own it, th, tho to own it, th, tho, tho, tho, tho, th, th, th, th, th, you th, you th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th th th, th, th th the the the the the th, the th, th the th, th th, th, th, th, th, thr- thr- thr-----a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, thr-a, the thr-a, thr-a, th for it. It now becomes an interesting, memorable thing about you. And you know, then you'll find somebody that actually likes you for being your authentic self rather than a lie that you're having to do it. Absolutely, it's such a freeing experience. God dang dude, like be a voice actor. That's awesome. Yeah. Who else can keep up a voice that long? You do it naturally. Because I think of like One only free free free free free free free free free free free free free free free. the th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And thi. And it's thi. And it's thi. And it's thi. And it's th. And it's th. And th. And th. And th. And, th.

And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, thi. And, th. And, that's awesome. Yeah. Who else can keep up a voice that long? You do it naturally. Because I think of like, Oni plays. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:48 Yeah. Yeah. Because he's starting from a place of something that is so unique, he can get to places that other people can't mimic. Yeah. Super cool. And you recognize his voice in anything with smiling friends and all that stuff. So it's like, there's a superpower to having something unique and that voice that this person has. You see it with, you do see, I think it's a cool thing you see with influencers
Starting point is 00:57:10 is that you'll see an influencer who like has a unique feature or aspect of themselves that they could be made fun of, but instead they clocked it and accepted it and owned it, and now they profit off of it, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, and, and, the, and, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the, the, the, the, the, th........ th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. th. thr. thr. th. th. th. th. thr. thr. th. thee, thin, th. th. thin. th. thin, th now they profit off of it. Like they find a way to make it actually their special thing that people learn to love them for. So, but being insecure about something makes it bad. Like I don't know, it's a weird thing. Yeah, yep. All right, our next story. So this is a 21-year-old man writing this about his 23-year-old girl that he's dating. Girl I'm seeing clogged my toilet and is now ghosting me.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Poopers gonna poop. This comes from dating advice. I met this girl about three weeks ago and things really kicked off. We've hung out more than I can count, probably about two to four days each week and been intimate three times. Friday night she was over and while watching a movie she went to use my restroom. noticed she was in there for unusually long, and at a point, I started hearing what sounded like sobbing. I knocked on the door and she frantically ran to lock it and said I couldn't come in while certainly crying.
Starting point is 00:58:12 I asked what was wrong, and after repeating the question a few times, and even trying to leave her alone, thinn't the door, told her, and she she she she she she she she she she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was, and she was a the the toe?.. toe? the toe? too, and toe, and toe, and toe, and the the door. toe, and told, and told, and told, and toe, and toe, and toe, and toe, and the door, and the door, and the door................................ the the the the the the the the the the the the the toe?? the toe? toe? the toe? the toe? toe? too, sheananan, shea, she was told told too, too, toldea, toa, toa, toa, toea, toa, too toldea. toe. the the too, the door, ran to my bedroom, grabbed all of her things, and ran out of my door. I soon found out she took a shit and the toilet must have clogged. My toilet clogs very easily, so there was a plunger, which she had tried to try to no avail. She must have try to flush way too, using both of my bath towels and two bathroom mats which were now soiled in poop water. It took me maybe two minutes to unclog the toilet and another 40 or so to clean the bathroom and some time to get the smell out. I initially didn't text her for like two days because I was pretty upset about the way
Starting point is 00:58:58 she reacted. sweet, very attractive in my opinion, and I genuinely enjoyed the time we spent so I reached out to her Monday morning asking if she wanted to meet to talk things over. It's been almost two days and she hasn't replied, and prior she rarely even took more than two to four hours to reply, so I'm fairly certain she doesn't want to see me again, either because of the way I reacted or out of embarrassment. I really, really do like th th th to th to to to th to th to to th to th th to th th th to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thr-a the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, thean, thean thean thean thean.. thean toean to thean. thean thean thean thean th but at the same time I'm not going to beg for her to talk it out. Is there anything more I can do slash say or do I cut my losses? Bro she used the bath towels? Yeah. I feel like this is just what she does. Like you just date somewhere for two weeks just to save up and then you go and then um. I feel feel th th th th th th th th th th the thin to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to say to say to say to say. to say.

No it's at a certain point you have to accept defeat and you have to go I can't I can't fix this. Yeah and then like and then like I
Starting point is 00:59:54 don't know like work at like try to I mean you already did it right so like there's no going back so you might as well be like, fuck, I'm so sorry, like this thing happened, like, ah, rather than like running out of the place and never talking to the person again? Her first mistake, because I haven't had a toilet clog in a long time, but when you... Must be nice.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Must be nice, thrown. You know what, you, you, she, they might have needed a poop knife. They need a poop knife. Uh, no, but when you, when you clock, when a toilet's clogged and you flush it and the water rises, you gotta stop then. Yes. But she kept going. Yeah, like, what are you doing?
Starting point is 01:00:34 Well, and he said he, he unclogged it in two minutes, so does she does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, does, toilet clogs in specific ways that he knows how to fix. And she didn't ask for his help. He, yeah, it's like only you can blow under the Super Nintendo cartridge and get it to work. Exactly. I'm dating myself here, but like, yeah. You know, I mean, you wouldn't get this. But I'm gonna thrugging the plunger once and that's it. Okay. Well, and also like the common thing is,
Starting point is 01:01:07 well, I don't know, this is unrelated, but people use the wrong kind of plunger in toilets a lot. They sure do. You need the one that's got the like. You need the one that has a little thing like that. Because people are used the ones the ones the ones the ridge, the ridge one, just like, tick-tucka-tick. The one that goes like, this. Yeah. Yeah, and like, look, it's just, I don't know, man, that sucks.
Starting point is 01:01:32 But again, we're all human. Like, no one's gonna be happy about this. And yeah, he might get a little bit grossed out, but at a certain point, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, and, and, like, like, and, and, and, and, like, like, and, and, and, and like, and like, and like, and like, and like, and like, and like, and like, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th. And, it. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. sorry, I super clogged the toilet. Can you hand me any accoutrements that can help me do it? I don't want you to see it. Exactly. Exactly. Comments, she was definitely mortified and you not mortified and you not messing and you not mrs. She definitely wants to forget about it, so she's just moving on. Someone said, I would wait for too. to, to, to, to, to, I, I, I, I, to, to, to to to to to to the the to the to me, the the the the to me, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm to to to to to th. tho, I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to me, I to me, I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi. thru. thr. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. thean. toooooooooooooo and I probably would not go back to your house. It's not your fault, but my goodness, how humiliating.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Someone said this is a hundred percent a skip town and never look back kind of shit situation. I get it. That's such a bummer, man. I know. I know. Especially like in the beginning of a relationship when things are like, everything's exciting, everything's perfect, and it's so nice, and then you shit in the toilet and it gets all over the bathroom and and there's no going back for that. It's it's such a fear of, I mean I I definitely on like
Starting point is 01:02:34 first dates, I definitely would be like, I can't I can't use their bathroom in that way, like I got to I got to just hold it? I must be nice. I'd be like, I gotta go home. I do, but it's definitely gonna be like a two or three flusher. You know, the moment it hits the water, I'm flushing, so there's no smell. You like, you like the match, because it does burn up the, like the methane gas that like comfortable relationship phase at some point? Lean into it, let it be like, hey, can we get past this?
Starting point is 01:03:07 Because it's gonna happen. I'm gonna throw up in front of you one day, like you're gonna get sick in front of me. Like, you're gonna need a surgery and I'm gonna see you looking all weird in like a surgery. Like, it's just how it goes. I say the only way he can fix th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. I. It. I. It. It. I. I. I. It. It. I's. th. I's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. thr. the. the. the. the. th. th. th. th. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's. I's.

It's. th. the. toe. t. t. t. t. tr. tr. tr. to. t. tr. t. the. the. the. the. like photo filter apps and just like take a picture of anything random blur it blur it blur it blur it again just send it to her and be like did you want this back I found this did you want it? Do you think as she was running out of the apartment she could hear him in the bathroom looking at it going I want to die I want to die I found it was like I must find the girl this belongs to he he he's like I he I he I he I he I he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he th I th I th I th I th I th I th I th I to th I to to to to to to to to to to to to th to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the the thi thi thi thi thi thi thi to to to to to to to to to the to die. He found it, he was like, I must find the girl, this belongs to. He finds her, he's like, we meet publicly, he's just like, is this your?
Starting point is 01:03:51 I also suspect that like, he probably said something as she was like running out of there. You know, like she's collecting things. Oh my God! It's in the grout! This is the grossest thing I've ever seen! Did you stomp it into the tile? It's like, just smeared, it's on the walls? I think I just heard it whispered. It took him 40 minutes to clean it up. Like, what kind of disaster did you?
Starting point is 01:04:19 Why did you put a football in my twist? Oh no! Oh no! This is crazy man. Update. Yes. They're married. Wait, it wasn't poop. Go on. I hope everyone that saw the last post somehow finds this update because I received some great advice and honestly y'all are cool as hell. I decided to incorporate most of your tips and texted her one last time. Pretty much saying that she shouldn't beat herself up too much, and don't worry, shit happens. I kid you not two seconds later she dislikes the text, then sends me some paragraph that she likely typed up beforehand. It was just a long-winded apology mostly about how she reacted.
Starting point is 01:04:56 I called her right after, and she found the joke pretty funny, and I could tell she felt really bad. We previously had plans on the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thuicicicicicicicicicicicicicn't, thuicn't, thuicn't, thu, thu-s, thr-s, thr-s, throwns, the, thoes, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, te, tean, teauu. teau. teau. teau. teau. teau. teau. teau. tea' tea' the 4th of July to watch the fireworks from my apartment rooftop, and she decided to come over with a set of fresh towels, ha ha. She was still a little awkward, which I guess makes sense, but all it took was a little alcohol to get her back to normal, smiley face. Thanks again for all the tips, guess I just needed to give her time and make light of the whole situation. Go boys. Yeah. Let's, I, all right. Hell yeah. You gotta shit in your sink, dude. Yeah. That's a happy ending.
Starting point is 01:05:29 That's good. That's good, like, you know, and I get the little bit of alcohol, take the edge off, because it's obviously gonna be awkward. Makes you forget. And then when they met. Yeah. There. He's got to make it even. They've got to go over to her place.
Starting point is 01:05:49 And he's got to drop the biggest bomb in her toilet. Yeah. Save up for a week and be like, I'm so glad we're meeting up again. By the way, can I use a rash from really quick? Oh God. Oh wow. That is terrifying though. That is rough. It's not fun, but like, we've all had some kind of embarrassing something in front of someone. Like, I heard a story from someone once where the toilet was clogged.
Starting point is 01:06:17 So they took it and put it in a garbage bag, and then like went out of the window to go throw it away. Whoa, that's dedication. I know we were all, it was in an improv class, like an improv 101 class and everyone in the class was just like, you're crazy. I'm not with you because I'd smitten the bell. This was groundling. So they like t whole thing. Yeah I feel
Starting point is 01:06:45 like I would never be that embarrassed about a bodily function. Like if someone can't handle it, I get I get three weeks in is like the worst time for that to happen. It's the worst time for it to happen. Because like you get a few more months in you're like okay I'm comfortable with this person they like whatever. Three weeks like oh that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. I'm not, I'm th. th. th. th. th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I'm th. I th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm not thi thi thi thi. I'm not thi. I'm not thi. I'm not thi. I'm thi. thi thi. I'm thi thi thi thi thi'll like whatever. Three weeks like, oh that's that's tough. It does, it does suck and they're young. I'm not denying that. It does suck, you're young, but like, I don't know, I would just so much rather be like, hey, like, you know, I have an ex where like pretty early on in us dating she had like a literal stroke and it was like not easy to help you know sort of facilitate her like comfort and safety and like I spent a lot of time at her place and
Starting point is 01:07:29 that's a real vulnerable time to see somebody for sure that's not that different than shitting in their toilet real big sometimes we're just like hey are we doing this let's do it for real to their toilet you know oh oh my god you know oh oh my god. Wow. She real big. She runs out. She's like, look what I did in your toilet! He's like, wait, that's your voice? I have to close the door to darkness. Okay. Um. Shane, where can people find you? Thank you both for being here. This was, this was fun. Yeah. That was a roller coaster. These were some relationships. And also, not at all the kind of relationships that I expected. I know.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Yeah. Well, we get that so much in the other ones too, where it's like, am I a jerk during this prank? My husband threw a brick at me. Like, it's... You never know what you're going to get in Reddit stories. we did. Yeah. Nice. Thank you guys for being here. This was a fun time. Thank you all for watching. Let us know what are the themes and subredits you want to see on this show.
