All right.
Your mic looks good.
You know how to operate that bad boy.
Yes.
You know, we have a really interesting connection.
What?
So you were the star on Hulu's drag stravaganza.
Yeah, yeah.
Huluene.
Huluene.
Huluene.
Hululine.
Drags travaganza.
Hululein.
So my husband did all the music for that.
Oh.
He did like the scoring.
I think I went to your house to record then.
What's your house?
I don't know if you went.
There was a couple different like artists that did songs,
but he did like all the songs.
scoring, like, kind of sound effects stuff.
And then the American Slashar song was his.
Oh, dope.
And you were on that.
But you were incredible in that.
That was back in 2022.
I know, it feels like it was so long ago, but I guess four years is not,
it really was not that long.
No.
We're hoping we're going to get a, it'll be an annual.
I would love that thing.
But, you know, Hulu had other plans.
Maybe they'll bring it back.
Maybe.
Thanks to this.
Hulu.
Hulu, where are you at?
You know, we've got some drag starvaganza fans.
Yeah, that would be dope.
No, it was such a fun project.
It was great.
I love that show.
Yeah, but I'm just, I'm so impressed because I feel like, what can't you do?
At this point.
Make eggs properly?
What is your go-to?
Scramble?
Well, no, I like an omelette because scrambled, I never get it right.
And my grandmother used to make eggs and she used to put like a little milk in them.
And I was like, I don't, like, the perfect egg.
Yeah.
And I just, I don't have it fluffy.
And I just don't have what it takes.
Then I get, I get sucked into all these TikToks with the people making Japanese.
eggs.
Oh.
The Japanese eggs are like a whole thing.
That's new for me.
I'm on egg talk currently.
I'd like to get over there.
Destroy this egg.
That's fine.
I don't know my own strength.
We're all full of chaos here.
Like my main goal is just to like provide chaos.
So you leave the room feeling better about your life.
Okay, good.
Okay, good.
Because you're on tour right now.
I went to her right now, high heels, bad knees around the United States.
I did a bunch of dates in the spring, winter.
Now we're doing something in the fall summer, going to Australia, going to...
Oh, down under.
Downanda.
Yeah, bye.
It's Keith and Kim.
I'm doing that.
And, yeah, it's all really great.
I really love doing stand-up.
Stand-up is my thing.
I enjoy it.
It's so liberating just being yourself on stage, saying, having the audience in the palm of your hand for your next bit, your next joke, your next joke.
I love it.
Your crowdwork is incredible.
Thank you.
Like, absolutely incredible.
I'm just like, oh, and you get such juicy.
juicy little stories.
You never know what's weird stories are lurking out there.
No, it's really good.
But for those that aren't familiar with our icon over here,
today we are joined by Monet Exchange.
Drag race winner, miscongeniality.
You, I'm just like your classic opera trained, DJ.
Again, you're very well-rounded.
And I think you've just gone through a lot of experiences in life.
Like, I watched your Chelsea Handler episode, like the mushrooms.
And then I watched your Z-Way and you went through like a big foot surgery.
I did.
It's called FFS foot feminization surgery.
But you like, you cut tendons.
Oh, yeah, they cut tendons.
I don't know the tens were going to be cut until I was in the moment.
And you're awake for that surgery.
No, no, no.
So you hear the tendons cut.
I don't know if everyone has had.
Shut.
If anyone listening has ever cut a tendon before.
Up.
It's very crunchy because they're like cartilage.
You just hear they're like cartilage.
it was intense
it was intense
that's not gonna top anything
I have today
so shit
but I think you'll
knock these stories out of the park
so the theme I've got is kind of like
strict program
okay strict program
yeah these people are kind of on strict programs
or maybe they need to be on a stricter one
that's what you're saying that's what you're saying
it's kind of like this new slang thing
I've watched a lot of Love Island
I'm watching a lot of Love Island
UK or US
I finished season 8 of America
I went back and watched
season seven retroactively.
Okay.
Have you ever seen season seven America?
No.
Wait, was that one with Maya Papaya?
Yes.
Yes, I watched that.
With, um, Huda?
Yeah.
The crash out of the century.
Yeah.
But it's like crazy that like, when it came to, I just watched a reunion tonight's ago.
And I guess in real time, she had the most following.
She was like so beloved by the fan base.
And I was like, she was a nut job in the villa.
People loved her.
Did you watch it in real time?
I did.
Okay.
Yeah, people, did you love her?
I was confused a little.
I thought she was fine.
You know, maybe shouldn't have been working through things very publicly on Love Island.
Yeah.
But this season of UK, so good.
Is it?
So good.
I got to watch UK.
What do you watch it?
I've been watching it on Disney Plus.
Okay, I'll work.
I watch it.
Yeah, yeah, it's going to be good.
But, okay, let's see what you think of these ones.
Okay.
Now, let me say something.
I love Reddit, but I'm on like,
Gory Reddit.
It's like a lot of like fights.
You and Bob both.
Oh yeah.
I love fights on Reddit.
But I don't go like like he likes like the knockout.
Yeah.
Like I'm not when it gets that far, I move on.
He shared a subreddit with me that I was like, I never want to be back there.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I don't, that's too far.
I like it when it's just a nice little schoolyard fight.
Okay.
Like a little bar fight between two macho wee bros like, hey, you look at my girlfriend, man.
You look at my girlfriend.
You apologize, man.
Apologize, man.
A little punch, a little want to.
Yeah.
When it gets like...
Then you're out.
Then I'm out.
Okay.
Yeah, no, no.
That's good for us all to know.
Okay, good.
Okay, let's dive in.
Okay.
Okay.
So up first, I have three rapid fire stories that are just going to really ease us into it.
Make sure you're prepared for everything else I have.
Okay.
So up first for us here, coming from Amma the Asshole,
titled Amma the Asshole for Say No to E&,
A bedroom brat.
Ooh, a bedroom brat.
So does this mean something sexual?
Some, like saying no, because you wanted some, like, little, like, little bedroom bunny that wants to be taken care of.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting.
Okay.
So I'm eight months pregnant and my husband made a brat.
It's supposed to be brought for a nighttime snack at nine.
30 p.m.
Like a brat worst.
Uh-huh.
Oh my God.
Okay.
He brought it up to our room where I'm currently laying, trying to get comfy, which is hard,
so I'm a little more cranky than usual.
The smell was way too much for me.
So I told him to take it downstairs.
He was mad and said he was tired and just wanted to eat in bed with his delicious bedroom
brat.
Oh, my God.
I'm exhausted from working all day and then switching to mom mode for our two kiddos
under four. I don't want to smell meat all night long and want as peaceful a bedroom as possible.
Am I the asshole for making him eat his food elsewhere aside from our bedroom?
No, you're not the asshole. First of all, you are carrying this man. You are eight months pregnant.
You've got to pop any month. You think about delivering the babies out. You know what I mean?
And, you know, I, shocker, I've never been pregnant. No? I never have. Okay. Not for lack of trying.
And if I was pregnant, and I've heard that, like,
senses are so heightened, like, things smell crazy, things look.
So, like, I can imagine you're uncomfortable.
You have this alien growing inside of you, literally, sucking up all the nutrients out
of your body.
I know.
You can't get comfortable.
And the last thing you want to do is smell a kilbasa bratwurst, Wendarwold, Vindarst, Vundabag
in your bedroom.
No, what kind of bun too?
Because a pretzel bun, those kind of stink.
Oh, my God, you just sit.
Eat it downstairs.
I know.
Eat it downstairs.
Come on.
I'm a bed eater too.
Like, I love a bed eater too.
I do too.
I do too.
I don't think you're doing it when your partner is eight months pregnant.
No.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, chill downstairs with the Brat Wars Cabossa.
Have it downstairs.
And also, it's done in 45 seconds.
When you come back upstairs, brush your teeth.
Because I don't want to smell it on your breath, lingering,
and trying to try to pill it talk to me and I smell on your sausage.
Not the good sausage.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, well, that's what the comments get into, right?
Yeah.
So the comments are like, not the asshole.
Also, this was not the story I was expecting from the title.
Yeah.
And someone says, there's only one kind of sausage I want in bed, and it's not grilled.
It's not grilled.
No.
There's another one here.
Raised my kink expectations for nothing.
Ooh.
Raise my kink expectations.
Well, I think that, you know, you know what is giving?
Like, you know, you match with someone, and you're like, you know, it's been a, a,
date or two if you're, you know, if you're a regular decent human, if you're, if you're for
something needs me being an hour or two. And you think you're going to have an experience.
And then the moment comes and it is nothing like what you expected. You built up all this
expectation for a bad experience. I know. There's another comment here from someone. They go,
his delicious bedroom brought is how she ended up in her condition to begin with.
The comments, they're good.
always, people in the comments are so funny.
They're so funny. They're so funny.
I love it. Yeah.
Okay, next one for us here. This is coming from
R-slash Traumatize Them Back, a subreddit where people kind of tell these like almost
petty revenge stories. Traumatizing back, okay.
Today, a lady told me off for not seeing
she needed help. So, I took out my prosthetic eye.
Honestly, work.
I would, like, oh, you think you got me? I got you, bitch.
It's like, it's like that scene from.
Hercules, the oracles passing the eyes.
So the story goes on to say, I was waiting to pick up a prescription a day when I heard some
shuffling beside me.
For context, I'm blind on my left side.
I lost vision in my left eye from glaucoma and eventually had the eye removed.
So unless something is directly in my line of sight, I genuinely might not see it.
When I finally turned around, I saw an older lady struggling to pick something up.
So I offered to help her.
She snapped at me and said not to bother.
because if I actually wanted to help, I would have been more proactive.
I told her I was sorry, but I'm legally blind, and I would have helped sooner had I seen her.
She then hit me with, people nowadays want to self-diagnose everything to avoid responsibility.
So I had it.
I took out my prosthetic eye, held it up, and told her, you can diagnose it yourself if you're so uncertain.
Yes.
Not a word from her after that.
Good. Honestly, you know, I got to be honest, the whole thing of respecting your elders, I'm like, I don't care who your respect is always earned.
And if I have a disability and I am going out of my way to help you, and I'm met with vitriol, venom, and vilosity, no.
Vilosity.
Oh, gay.
And I'm like, yeah, like that reaction is so crazy.
Like, why would you jump to the negative when I was trying to help?
Sorry, it wasn't.
Yeah, as fast as you wanted it, Lois.
You still got offered help.
Yeah.
Many people watch me struggle in the store and I don't get any help.
Exactly.
Daily.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Daily, no.
What a crazy reaction.
I know.
Honestly, it was justified what you did.
Yeah.
It sounds like some East Coast behavior.
This was definitely like Boston or New York or something.
All people over there are mad.
They definitely are.
You're also, God, you're pulling out big words.
Like I watched Scott Evans episode with you, House Guast, and you pulled out another word with him, and it was like, like, Baluga.
It was like, and he's just like, okay, I'm going to need a dictionary.
I'm like, you're giving, you're giving smart.
Okay, this next one is coming from R slash confession, titled, I came on a co-worker's high heel.
Okay, it cannot be, I hope it's not what.
It sounds like because have we not learned to put our things away on Zoom meetings?
I mean...
So a few months ago, I stayed late at work.
I walked past a colleague's office, whom I am attracted to, and saw a pair of high heels
under her desk.
Oh, my God.
I've always had a fetish for high heels and legs, so I walked in and grabbed one.
I rushed to the bathroom and was overtaken by a rush of adrenaline.
I licked, smelled, and then came all over her shoe.
It was one of the most enjoyable orgasms of my life.
Afterwards, I cleaned it off and placed it back in her office.
Oh, my God.
How, okay, there are so many questions.
How long did this, like, how long did you have to do this?
It seems like a premature ejaculation, honestly.
This is feeling fast.
For sure.
That was really quick.
And there was some foreplay with the shoe licking.
smelling. Licking a heel.
Like, you don't know where that heel it went.
I don't even wear shoes in my house.
What if she had athlete's foot?
Or a fungus.
I know.
And licking on it, smelling it, huffing the shoe, and then having a little pretty situation all
over them.
Oh, you know what?
I'm not here to King's Shame.
People who want to do the shoe thing, like live your life.
If you like it, I love it.
I appreciate that.
Okay, open-minded.
But I just don't, there's just not a world where a shoe.
maybe if the actual foot was in this heel,
I can get into it, you know what I mean?
Okay.
You can go to a farmer's market and get a shoe over there.
Like, why, you know?
To, like, degrade your co-worker's heel that she's going to put her feet back in,
unknowing.
I would never think to wash my shoe either.
No.
Like, I would never be like, oh, I need to wash the inside of my heel because my coworker is depraved and disgraced it.
And this makes me think one time we were recording the podcast, Bob and I, and I left my shoes at his studio.
Oh, no.
And they were sticky to the next time I got him.
Bob would do that to you.
He would do that to me.
He's obsessed with me.
There was definitely some comment there.
Oh, my God.
Some was a lot.
It was a very sticky shoe.
The top comment.
Only one up vote.
Stupendous.
Hey, why not the pair?
Get them both.
It's a 12-year-old post.
a little vintage at this point in time.
Yeah.
I did some sleuthing for you.
Okay, let's get in to the thick of it now.
That was just our warm up here.
That was the warm up?
That was our warm up.
Yeah.
It's going to be fine.
It's going to be absolutely fine.
You got this, okay?
This is coming from R slash relationships.
It is titled, My Boyfriend of Three Years, Refused to Pull Over While Driving, Pissed Himself,
and then,
Kind of blamed me for it.
Okay.
As someone who has a very weak bladder and I drink a lot of water, I know a thing or two about
emergency pee situations.
Okay.
I'm driving into the city with a friend from New Jersey to Manhattan.
And we were on the turnpike and I had to pee so bad.
So like I'm like, I'm like, I'm like telling him, I don't want to have to pee.
Like I have to pee.
He's like, what's you going to do?
I was like, so I was like, so I was like found the nearest exit.
And but it was like rush hour
So the line was like so long
So like on the turnpike exit
Like six rows of cars
We're like 17 back from the thing
I just get out the car
And like leave the car running
And like run all the way to the
To like the shoulder to just pee on the shoulder
And just had to in the middle of traffic
It was like insane
I had to go though
So it might be this person's fault
Okay
Let's see
Let's see what you think
Yeah
My boyfriend 27 male
And I 28 female
have been dating for three years. We were driving down the back roads for an hour and near the beginning
of our journey, he said he needed to piss. I asked him at least four or five times if he wanted to
pull over since he was driving, and he refused. We were almost home with a gas station in sight.
He said he couldn't make it any longer and pissed his pants. It was a very awkward ride home
the rest of the way, 10 minutes. I didn't mention it, and I helped him clean it up while he
showered and put on some fresh shorts. He then tried to leave my house to return his own after he got out.
I asked why, and he said that it was because of him peeing itself. And it happened because I was
mad at him over something that he had said before we left from our destination. Not really relevant
to the problem. He said he wanted to go home to discuss it and that he didn't want to pull over
so he could get out of the car quicker. I didn't really understand his explanation in this, but I
haven't pushed. Reddit, I have a hard time dealing with this. On one hand, I know bodily functions,
sometimes cannot be controlled, but he was in full control of the car and himself and refused to pull over.
Then he kind of shifted the blame to me. I've had a hard time looking at him the same way. I mean,
he is a grown man. Why is he pissing himself? I feel terrible for feeling this way, but he never acted,
embarrassed or anything, just kind of got defensive. I asked him if this has ever happened. I asked him if this has
ever happened before, and he insisted that it hasn't.
Am I overreacting to what happened?
I feel like I might be.
I feel like there's overreacting happening on both sides.
Number one, I think that he is ridiculous for being mad at her.
Like, you were a grown man, you are in control of your body.
Like, you, I think he was probably trying to be like, no, no, I can hold it.
I don't need to pull over.
Like, I can hold it.
So there's that there.
And I also think that she is maybe taking it a little too personal too.
Like, I think, you know, sometimes guys try to be so macho.
You got to, like, kind of calm on and be like, like, and it's, I hate that sometimes women have to do this for men, but kind of help him sort through his emotions.
Okay.
So, like, he's clearly projecting his feeling of insecurity and upset that he pissed himself in front of her.
I mean, I'd be very embarrassed, insecure.
Well, you know, I, I pissed myself on drag race.
What?
Yes, girl, let me tell you.
That was not in the highlight clips, and I watched an hour and a half of them.
What?
No, it's a secret moment no one knew what happened.
It was on the.
pound the poundy alarm episode, my first time I was in the bottom when I did my, the
poundy alarm lip sync, and I had to be so bad. And the judging that you see on TV,
like, it's like what, 10 minutes in real life for about two hours. Oh my God. So I was sitting
there and I was the first one to get critiquing and had to pee so bad. I was like,
oh, I had to pee, I was like, I can hold it. They got to like the fourth girl and I was like,
which is like an hour and a half and I was like, I can't hold it. So like in the middle
of root critiquing whatever girl, I was like, hey, I'm sorry everyone. Like all the
camera was all production. I was like, I really have to go to the bathroom. And
And I turn upstairs and start walking up the stage and then start peeing myself in my costume on stage.
I'm leaving a snail trail of urine up the stage.
I go to the bathroom, change my tides, come back.
And when I walk back on stage, Rufal stands up and gives me a standing ovation.
But I did.
So I know.
Oh, my God.
So you can really relate to him in a way.
Yes, I can really relate.
So there's a lot of emotions.
You're like, you're mad at yourself.
but do you try to pass with someone else?
So I think she's like,
hey, babe,
I know this was upsetting for you.
Yeah.
I know that you don't want to pitch this up in front of me,
but we've been together for four years.
I've seen you do words.
Get over.
That is true.
They have been together quite some time.
You know what I mean?
Like, come on.
If you can't piss in front of your partner,
how can you piss in front of anyone else?
I know.
I know.
That is very true.
Yeah.
I was at a guy that tried to like get me to piss on him
in like a hookup situation.
That's a big thing.
It was a lot.
Yeah.
And I was like,
I feel like you should advertise this before I show up.
Yeah.
I shouldn't be met with this request.
Yeah.
No, Golden Chowers should definitely be...
Right?
In advance notice.
Yeah.
Dude, there's like a crazy thing going on with Golden Chowers lately.
Like, did you...
This is so...
There's a crazy thing going on with Golden Shower.
No, there really is.
Like, have you ever heard of Bonnie Blue?
No, who's Bonnie Blue?
You don't want to know.
Now I have to know about Bonnie Blu.
You don't want to know. She is an OnlyFans creator.
She might have been kicked off the platform even.
But she did this challenge to, like, have sex with a thousand guys a day.
Oh, I saw that.
I heard about that one.
Well, she's now pregnant.
And she's having...
She doesn't know who it is.
Well, she's having a baby shower where everyone just come and piss on her.
While she's pregnant?
Feels like CPS should be called already.
Yeah.
Preemptively.
Like...
Oh, God.
Yeah.
Does she know what the dad is?
I don't know.
I'm not in her lore that much.
I just see the horror from people on...
on news, yeah, news shows being like, Bonnie Blues doing a baby shower.
The baby shower is diabolical.
That's insane behavior.
Bad.
So then when you look at this, you're like, this isn't that bad.
That's not that bad, girl.
Not that bad.
The top comment, you're not overreacting.
He pissed himself instead of pulling over for a minute.
He was fully in control of his body and his car the entire time.
His actions are a result of his own decisions and have nothing to do with you.
I'd have trouble respecting him ever again
after hearing him blame me for his decision to piss his pants
It's like a toddler yelling
Look what you made me do
Literally
And that is that is something that's so interesting about this
He was the one driving the car
I know
So why not just pull over
Yeah because also if you don't pull over
What are you even like showing like
How does that make you look or feel more
It seems like a weird thing to like
you were driving the bus, babe, pull over.
That's why I'm like, why are you, and to blame her, I pissed myself because we got in a fight before we left and we had an hour drive and I was just trying to get home.
So I wanted to piss in my toilet, my toilet only.
I'm like, what?
So you piss yourself?
You piss yourself as crazy.
I like, I'm just like, for what?
It is not, it's not worth anything.
Yeah.
Silly.
No, someone else in the comments shares another story from Reddit about someone's boyfriend shitting him.
while driving.
Shitting.
Yeah, so up that ante.
It's a big, big deal, I guess.
But I wouldn't say overreacting,
but I guess how do you want to proceed forward?
Do you want to coddle him a little?
I wouldn't call him.
I'm not into coddling anything.
No.
I'm not even children.
Okay.
No one deserves to be coddled.
So.
Not even kids.
Not even kids.
Yeah, I would have to call him on.
I would like this, because also, I think that this behavior would be indicative of things
later to come.
Yeah.
If this is how you behaving over something that you were in control of that you did to yourself,
what is the next thing going to be?
I know.
That's a really good point because, like, you've already gone so far as to piss yourself
to prove a point to me.
Yeah.
What comes next?
You're going to piss on me to prove the point?
Come in my heel.
Like, hello.
What's going on?
Yeah, no.
O.P does respond and says to that person, though, like, him acting like a toddler is what
it felt like.
I was like, why did you do that?
And he was like, because you were mad at me.
I was so confused because I don't see how the two correlate.
Oh, I don't see either.
I don't get it.
I don't like it.
No.
And then O.P.
even says,
I'm having a really hard time feeling sexually attracted to him since all of this.
Okay.
I can talk to this.
When guys,
when your partner starts doing things,
not even sexually or like you,
it could be the prettiest,
buffest,
whatever your thing is and your partner is hot.
Things like that turn me off so bad and I get so unattracted.
I don't even want to think,
the thought of having sex if you repulses me
because I hate other behavior that you do.
How do you get over an ick?
Do you have any advice for that?
Because this could be kind of an ick for her.
100%.
And that seems like that's what you're kind of describing.
Yeah.
And I can't.
I can't.
When the ick is there, it's there.
I can't get over it.
But I am also a Pisces.
So I'm a, I am a February 19th.
Oh, March 4th.
March 4th?
Like, look at us.
But I, so I am a suffering silencer.
Like, I would be, have the ick and I would suffer.
And I would just, like, go along with it, go along with it.
Until.
It's too much.
too much. I just like, all right.
Pop off. And then you're like done.
You get done. For sure.
Yeah. We do get an update on this.
Okay.
The update comes almost 20 days later.
So she comes back and she's like, here's how it went down.
Okay. I'm ready for it.
If you can't see the original post, try Googling it.
That thread blew up way more than I thought it would.
I had originally posted it before six months ago when the incident originally happened and I didn't get any response.
So I truly thought I was underreact.
and kind of swallowed my concerns.
But over time, they kept creeping up.
And I started noticing more and more
that everything was my fault in his life.
So I decided to repost again.
This post really affirmed what I knew,
but didn't want to accept for whatever reason,
that the relationship had to end.
The thread made me think a lot about my life
and what our life together would look like.
All I could think about was this,
him pissing himself, happening again in the future.
I thought about us having kids
and how he would deal with them.
I thought about having to make tough decisions with him.
I thought about making tough financial decisions.
I thought about having to go through tough life events, like losing a parent.
I realized that I would always be blamed for things that went wrong,
even though they were not my fault or within my control,
and that he wasn't someone I could truly rely on for support.
Yeah.
It just took him to literally and purposefully lose control of his own bladder for me to see this.
I broke up with him a few days after the original post.
I told him I wasn't happy with the relationship anymore and that I wanted out.
He didn't really fight or ask why.
So it was a surprisingly easy breakup.
He had other issues in his life and refuses in general the idea of therapy, so I didn't even suggest it.
You got the red flags.
Not really my problem or concern anymore.
Despite being together three years, I was surprised with how relieved I felt when I let go, pun intended.
I think I'm more into the relationship for a day or two,
and I've been totally fine since.
I've been hitting the gym almost every day at lunch
and have had plans every night with friends or family.
So I really haven't let the loss of this relationship get me down.
I guess, if anything, it's really opened my eyes to trusting my gut and my instincts.
I knew him pissing himself was fucked up,
and I knew and felt like he was blaming me.
I should have trusted my gut and ended it right there
and then when he showed me who he truly was.
Let me tell you out something right now.
The gut is the most powerful organ in the body, okay?
The gut tells you everything you need to know about so many situations.
I wish that I would trust my gut more.
But you always, there's always that stupid thing in the back of the head.
It's like, well, no, but the gut is always right.
Every time I waited too long to do a breakup, after the breakup, when I got through it,
I was like, why didn't I do that so much soon?
Like, why did I wait this long?
Yeah, he was giving red flags from, like, everything was going to be.
to be her fault. If you can make pissing yourself
when you drive your car somewhere, put
that on the person, everything.
When you put it like that, it's, yeah.
You're driving the car.
You're in trouble of 80, 100%
of the things, but it's somehow my fault.
It's insane. It's insane. So is this next one.
Oh, God.

Okay, so this next one is coming from our slash gay bros titled,
I compared my boyfriend to an ex a year and a half ago and he's still upset.
How can we move forward?
How can I make it up to him?
Me, 25 male, and my boyfriend, 25 male, have been together for just over two years.
They're gay.
I can't do it.
A year and seven months ago, on our first Valentine's Day, we were having sex.
He was bottoming, but he was struggling.
I'm his first boyfriend and only sexual partner.
He is my third boyfriend and fourth sexual partner.
I have a history of ED.
When he was struggling, I went soft and became embarrassed.
In a moment of self-doubt, I said, quote,
it was a lot easier with my ex.
Why would your brain even think about saying that?
I immediately regretted it and apologized,
and he said, don't ever say that again.
It wasn't even true.
I struggled with all of it.
of my exes. I just felt that in that moment, I felt so low that I projected it on him. I told him
this. Admittedly, it was to hurt him, which I told him too. I apologized profusely, and he said,
it's okay, and we moved on. Over the last year and seven months, he has randomly brought it up
as something that hurt him. Each time, I'd apologize and reassured him, and we'd move on. But about
three weeks ago, he brought it up again, and this time, when I apologized, he started to cry
and said that he should have broken up with me back when it happened. That I ruined his first
ever Valentine's Day, that he thinks about the comparison multiple times a week, and every time
we have sex, he said he's now considering breaking up. I told him it's not fair to me to threaten
this now. He said three weeks ago he would work on their relationship and go to therapy, but he still
brings up breaking up as a possibility. To be clear, I have never repeated the comparison or anything
like it, and he agrees that I have grown. He himself has said that the person I am today is much
better than who I was two years ago. He has said that he knows I didn't deserve him two years ago,
but the person I am now deserves him. I think part of it is that early on I made him feel inferior
for not having a boyfriend before me. I'd bring up how glad I was to have dated other people so I could
have a history, how glad I was to have many sexual partners. And I told him that I specifically
went after him because he had less experience than me. Again, I'm his first almost everything.
I want to make this up to him, but he doesn't know how. I don't either. Any advice? I know no one
can read his mind, but any guidance would help. Ooh, you know what? When you were a gaybie,
you're so sensitive. And knowing that you're bottoming and it's not going right, because bottoming,
There's, oh, my God, there's so many bells, hooks, levers, and tugs to get a right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Because there's, especially if you, like, you don't have the proper person or things online to teach you, like, what to do.
Because there's so many things that can go wrong.
Overduching.
Like, other things that really make it difficult.
So I get it being insecure and saying.
But so the person had said my boyfriend did it better.
Was the bottom or the top?
So my boyfriend was bottoming, right?
He was bottoming, but I was struggling.
Oh, he was struggling.
I said to him, it was a lot easier with my ex.
And he was the one who's experienced, the top of the experience.
Oh, so it wasn't even the bottom.
It was the top.
So tops are so bold these days.
Like that?
Yeah, that's fuck.
Like, you have someone being really vulnerable.
Sorry, that's messed up.
You can swear as much as you want to hear, babe.
You're good.
Like, that's crazy.
No.
Like, and it's, what'd you call him a gaybie?
Yeah, Gaby.
Gay, baby.
Gaby, gay, baby.
I've never heard that before.
Yeah, I'm a Gavey.
Oh my God.
It's like, this is,
you're supposed to, I feel, like, be the more comforting teacher.
Yes, yeah.
Also, the bottom is the one doing all the work.
You just, you know, getting up, getting back there and, you know,
the bottom is, has sometimes years of preparation before.
You have to sit on a toilet bowl and make sure the water runs clear for God knows how.
And the bottom is working.
So to weaponize your sexual experience because of your insecurity is crazy.
And then so it's sitting out.
And now the bottom is like, it's been haunting him this thing.
Yeah, a year and seven months.
It's stuck with him.
Okay, well, baby, you got to parade away or something.
I mean, a year and a half.
Jesus Christ.
He didn't say your whole family should die in a fire.
He said, my boyfriend did a little better.
I mean, I get your feelings were hurt.
But holding on to that for a year and a half.
Yeah.
I will say, doing the math.
that was said to him about three months after starting dating.
Okay, so early and early.
Early.
Yeah.
So for me, I understand being hurt still.
I hold a grudge.
Same.
I hold a mean grudge.
Same.
Yeah.
And I tend to go a little scorched earth when I feel wrong.
So for me, I'm like, I get it.
But you need to ask yourself, do you want to feel like this forever?
Because it also, it kind of eats at you.
100%.
So do you want to?
want to feel like this.
Option one.
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Two, can you go to therapy and resolve it?
Yeah.
Three, otherwise start fresh.
Start fresh.
Start fresh.
Start fresh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And if there's going to be a thing forever, like, you don't want to be carrying
that baggage throughout the entire tenure of your relationship.
If I end up getting engaged where, like, you'll never, it will never go away.
It would always be a thing that he said to you that you won't forget.
So it's like, honestly, cut the cord and move on.
Yeah.
There's so many dudes out here.
Well, do you find.
this to be a little bit of a red flag too.
The part where O.P. was like,
I was so glad that I dated other people so I could have a history.
I was so glad to have so many sexual partners.
I told him that I specifically went after him
because he had less experienced than me.
Like, do you find that to be kind of...
It's a lot problematic.
I'm like, what...
Like, what is the vibe that you want to create
that you...
Like, why does your partner need to have less experience than you?
Feels like a power imbalance.
Yeah, for sure.
Like, I want to be more superior than you.
More superior.
I'm better than you.
I'm all about having partners, so you have experience and, like, you know, the more times
you've, you know, you're ridden a bike, the better you'll be at it so I get it.
But the specifically one in someone that has less experience than you, like, you want to be
able to, like, take advantage.
Take advantage.
Yeah.
Or training to be your little perfect bottom for you that I don't like.
Mm-hmm.
I think that he is, he wants someone with less experience so he can always seem like
He knows what he's doing.
He's like, I have the experience here.
And the bottom of having less experience can't call him.
I'm going to be like, well, that was not good.
No.
And that does kind of play into him kind of struggling with ED.
And if there's more control, maybe it's less noticeable.
Like, you don't have experience.
You don't know any better.
You don't know any different.
So, no, this isn't that big of a deal.
Yeah.
And, hey, people struggle with ED.
Like, it happens.
But you shouldn't belittle someone else.
to bring yourself up.
I agree.
And there's so many
fixes to ED.
You know, the gays now,
they do trimax.
Have you heard about Trimax?
No.
Girl.
Girls do ED out there.
There's like a syringe
and you like inject
what's the thing with Viagra
into like your penis?
Oh, you're going direct,
not oral.
Like not popping the pill.
It's like straight into the penis
syringe inject.
I've heard about penis pumps.
I feel like that's really common
for older adults.
Yeah.
But then like
your penis becomes almost like amorphous.
I've wanted to see one.
This sounds so weird.
Purely for educational purposes.
I just want to see one because I heard you pump it up by squeezing the balls.
Yes.
I'm like I just want to like.
No, not, no, not your, not the balls your body.
Like the pump has a ball on it.
Everyone is telling me, yeah, you squeeze the balls.
And I'm like, how do they insert that?
See, this is why I'm so glad you came on education at its finest.
No, it's a ball like a ball that's like, you know, you know, you know,
So how does it hook back up?
Because it's basically like a vacuum that goes on the penis and it like suction to the penis.
And you know like the old French perfumes like the ball, you squirt like that?
Yeah.
So it's like a little tube with like a ball like that attached to when you squeeze the ball and it pumps.
Isn't there a surgery though where you can get it inserted internally?
Okay.
So an ex is someone I used to deal with.
Someone in their family had this.
So I think that's what I'm talking about.
And I thought that when you literally squeeze the balls in it does pump.
What he had was like, it was just like a button inside.
So basically like, he became like Bain from Batman.
And you're just like, where do they put the button?
It's like in the ball area.
Okay.
Yeah.
So like he, that was like bane.
He's like, and then.
And it's like ready to go.
That's so crazy.
Modern technology.
Girl, crazy.
This is wild.
See, again, I would like to see that.
Purely for educational purposes.
Same.
Same.
I never see it.
I like to see it too.
I'm curious.
I'm curious.
He was also older.
I'm like, I am 36 and I barely want to have sex now.
I'm like, when I'm in my late 60s, I don't want.
I know.
I guess when you're ready to go, then you don't have to think about just, okay.
I feel like, I don't know, sex feels like it gets more fun after like 50.
That's what I've heard.
I'm excited to get there.
Like I'm in the 30 slump.
Same.
Like 32.
I'm kind of in a roommate phase.
Like, it's hard when you're so busy and it's like you've got to like almost schedule it.
Also, being a doued.
Adolting is so annoying.
You constantly, you have to do everything.
Like, the, the lie that was sold to us that we want to be adults and get mature and be old, it's such, it's the biggest scam in history.
Like, when you're a kid, you want nothing more than to be an adult and be independent.
Now I'm an adult and independent.
I want to, I wish I could go back.
I don't have to pay for my bills.
I don't have to put gas in my car.
I want someone to do it for me.
No.
It's too much.
The big lie, become another adult.
It's exhausting.
It's so bad.
I found another story and I haven't read it with you yet, but.
It kind of plays into adulting, so maybe I'll hit it next.
But we don't have an update on this one.
Oh, no.
Kind of responds to people in the comments, because some people do pick a part that I went for him because he's less experienced.
And they basically just call him a psycho, like word for word.
They're like, what kind of psycho would say something like that to their partner?
Because the obviously hurtful comment, this is the bigger red flag, in my opinion.
You basically belittled your boyfriend from the beginning and act surprised that he brings up your comment because you probably completely crushed his self-esteem.
O.P. does respond. This was two years ago, and I no longer say or act that way. I have grown through this relationship, and my boyfriend agrees that I have, too.
So they're still together? As far as we know. Yeah. And what was, how long ago was that? This post is from 22.
Oh, wow. So recent, pretty recent. So technology's got even better. So for the ED?
Four years? Four years? Maybe they've come a long way since then. Yeah. Maybe they're still together, having a good time.
I don't see any other posts on O.P.'s account.
Oh, the one and done.
One and done.
But I will say this post is from about Reddit saying three years, but it's from
2022, so whatever the math is there.
But the account is nine years old and a verified email.
So I'm going to send him a little chat.
Because it'll go to his email if he's got that notification on.
Yeah.
And I'm like, do you have an update for us?
And they've got to give it to us now.
You still together?
I'm typing.
They are active in a bunch of subredits.
My producer Bailey's telling me, R slash balls.
The pumping balls, apparently.
Maybe.
Maybe they've looked into it.
Yeah.
Or, like, otherwise, like, bouncy balls?
I don't know.
R slash Christianity.
Oh, of course.
R slash celebrity penis.
See, this is what I'm going on ready.
You can see what everyone, you can see all the groups, all the subreddits they're a part of.
Yeah.
You know.
God.
That's why you need a throwaway account.
Not traced back to you.
Okay.
Let's get into this little adulting one because your tour is really about like adulting.
I heard your knees crack.
Yeah, you know, my knees just don't.
Before I used to be able to be on them for so long.
And I used to have knees like Megan.
Now I have knees like, you know, my grandmother.
Martha Stewart.
Like Martha's probably got some good knees, though.
She's always in the garden, you know?
Oh, she is gardening.
She's got horses.
She just got pheasants for her birthday.
Did she really? How do you know that?
I'm a big fucking Martha fan. I love her. I don't know what it is.
I just my goal is like just, I just want to go to a Martha Stewart dinner party.
She doesn't even have to talk to me. Just let me be in the room.
That's like me and RuPaul. I want to go to one of RuPaul's game nights.
Oh.
Yeah, that's a good like bucket list.
You won. You haven't gotten invited yet?
Girl, RuPaul don't talk to us.
RuPaul is not hanging out with these girls.
First of all, drag queen's steal.
Can you imagine a dragon at his house?
They would steal.
You think?
They're thieves.
They're all dangerous and should not be allowed near regular human beings.
I wouldn't expect that group to be kleptos.
Yeah, that kleptos girl.
Huh.
They're unsafe.
I don't invite any queens in my house.
I'll go on Instagram.
See someone using my fucking spatula.
Oh my God, anything.
Anything's fair game.
Yeah.
Okay, this next one's coming from true off my chest.
Sometimes I feel like my life is just a series of awkward goodbyes and overcooked pasta.
I'm a 44-year-old guy, and lately it just feels like adulthood is pretending to be fine with stuff that quietly drives you nuts.
My neighbor's dog barks like it's trying out for a horror movie.
My hair lines retreating like it's got its own escape plan.
And every quick nap spirals into a full existential crisis.
Yesterday, I dropped a plate, apologized to it out loud, and only later remembered that it's not a person.
I also ended up reading through a bunch of old texts from 2017.
like I was on an emotional, archaeological dig.
I'm not even that lonely,
just surrounded by way too much silence and overthinking.
Try to act like I've got it all together,
but honestly, I'd love it if someone just told me
it's totally fine to cry into a styrofoam box of Lomaine once in a while.
Anyways, thanks for letting me toss this out there.
If anyone has ever caught themselves apologizing to an object
or nearly sent a, hey, just thinking about you,
text at 2 a.m. and blacked out, you're not alone.
I'm definitely someone of those texts
I sent one last night
No
I sure did
I'm like hey
No
it was good
I wanted was I sent it
I didn't really want to do anything
Because if it became anything
I'm like oh god
To that to that bottom early
I gotta go to the bathroom
It's just too much work
You know
I wish
You know yeah so
We've all been there
Yeah you know
We've all been there
We can only be so perfect
You know
Yeah like
So much of the time
I was like well that
I said to
I was like why did I do that
Because if I get a response
I'm gonna just go to bed
Did you unsend or do you sit with it?
No, I submitted.
Well, here's part of the problem.
The text message was green because they don't.
Oh.
I know.
That'll get you.
I know.
It's always the guys green text messages and a mattress on the floor that gives you right.
You know what I mean?
No, bed frame?
No.
That's a big part of adulting.
I feel like that is a defining moment in adulthood.
It's like when you go from mattress on the floor and you get rid of the navy blue sheets and you get a bed frame and maybe some curtains.
Curtains would be nice.
Curtains would be good.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, well, I mean, everyone's entitled to a little fun every now and again.
I hope you get a response.
Yeah, I will, hopefully.
You know who you are.

Okay, off to this next one. This one might need a little bit of love.
And prayer. Maybe some tender kid gloves as we address it. Okay, okay. Okay, yeah.
I know you know a thing or two about a sponge.
I do
So I was combing through Reddit
And I'm like
Let me find a good sponge story
And I came across this one
And the title just
blew me out of the water
Oh God, what is it?
So it is coming from R slash off my chest
Titled
Hopelessly Attracted
to SpongeBob Square Pants
Like Ariana Grande's ex-boyfriend?
I'm not sure how to put this
But I'm in love with SpongeBob
It's not only that
But I'm sexually attracted to SpongeBob as
well. Oh. The only person that knows is my very best friend, but he thinks I'm joking about it. I've
talked to strangers on the internet before, but I've only really met ridicule outside of a handful of
people. I fully believe this is affecting my ability to have a meaningful relationship with a real
person, too. I'm not sure how I identify either. I know I'm a 21-year-old male, but I don't know if I'm
attracted to other males, females, or any of the other things people identify themselves as. But I think
if I could get past my unhealthy desire for a cartoon character, I could at least figure it out.
My friend jokes that I'm sponge sexual, and I go along with it because I think he'd stop being
friends with me if he knew it was actually a real attraction. It's not just watching SpongeBob either.
I read and write fan fiction, I look at Rule 34 art, and I have so much SpongeBob stuff, it clutters my rim.
I'm so ashamed, but at the same time, I do try to embrace who I am. But every time, I do try to embrace who I am,
but every time I do, I end up feeling more ashamed and repeat the vicious cycle all over again.
I know in the grand scheme of things, this isn't really that big of a deal and people have way
worse issues than I do, but I need to tell someone and really work on getting my head on straight.
The past few days, this is just eaten away at me to an unhealthy level.
I find myself crying, unable to sleep, and I don't feel like eating.
My parents think I'm depressed. Maybe I am.
They want to help, but I think they'd disown me if they knew the truth.
They know I'm a SpongeBob fan, and it doesn't phase them at all, since they say there are far worse things I could be into.
Sorry for the rambling.
I just don't know what to do anymore, and I had to tell someone, anyone, how I was feeling.
I thought about making a throwaway account since my post history would be cringy to the average person, but I figured why bother.
Attracted to Sponge.
I don't know what it is about SpongeBob that is so attracted.
Like, is it the...
The corner edges?
Is it?
The multiple holes?
The multiple holes?
So I will say this is a big, a big, big, big kink.
Of the sponges?
So I, a sponges, but more specifically, sponge Bob.
Yeah, and I was like, Monet knows a sponge.
Monet knows Bob.
I feel like, I'm like, you know, you'll be good on this.
I mean, you know, to each, again, knocking shaming, whatever your thing is.
But it's just nothing about SpongeBob that's sexually appealing or attracted the voice.
I can't even do it.
I can't imagine that when you're like someone's climaxing.
It's very jarring.
The dolphin noise.
The dolphin, oh my God.
I don't even want to attempt.
I can get into Squidward's Squidward got that nose on them.
So Sandy, a lot of people have.
Into Sandy, the squirrel.
To Sandy.
But this is a big thing.
I mean, I then started going deep diving, looking at other.
accounts, other subs.
There's a post from two months ago from off my chest.
SpongeBob SquarePants turns me on.
One day I was watching SpongeBob and boom all over the ceiling.
Like Scaring Movie 2 style.
Yeah.
There's another post from Ask Me Anything.
That's actually coming from a woman.
I'm 28 female in love with SpongeBob since I was eight and going to therapy for that reason.
Ask me anything.
Yeah.
Like this is like multiple people are deeply affected by SpongeBob.
Can you feel it now, Mr. Craves?
Ha ha ha, I knew someone would do that.
Have you tried banging a guy in a SpongeBob costume?
Oh, okay, there's a thing.
I know what you mean, but it wouldn't be the same for me, the person says.
O.P.
I don't want a guy in a SpongeBob suit.
I want SpongeBob.
I want SpongeBob.
It's not a fetish.
I'm deeply in love with him.
I'm trying to think, is there any, there's no character that I'm like that.
I mean, maybe, maybe.
What about the Grinch?
I've had that fetish before.
No, I'm like here.
I spent I'm full I'm like a dolphin
I'm like full body laser hair movement
That's what I want in the thing too I could do a little chest hair
It's cute with a grinch is too much
Someone's walking with a hairball
Spirit the horse is a big sexual awakening for a lot of people
Spirit the horse is a good one I like that
Shrek is on a lot of people's Hear Me Out cakes
Not for me
What about handsome Shrek?
I've never seen handsome Shrek
You've never seen a handsome Shrek
No how handsome is he
I mean he looked pretty good
chiseled jaw, all that jaws?
Handsome Shrek.
Here's some pics of handsome Shrek.
Oh, when he gets, got it.
No, I don't like that either.
Okay.
I will show you what the Rule 34 art is.
Rule 34.
Yeah, so O.P. was like, I've, unless you don't want to see it.
No, I want to see it.
Okay.
And just to be clear, Rule 34 is an internet meme and cultural adage stating that if something exists, there is pornography of it.
Oh, yes, I agree with that.
Okay.
For sure.
So I looked up Rule 34 Art SpongeBob and...
Oh, God.
I cannot show it on the video version of this show.
It would instantly get us demonetized.
Oh, my God.
I mean, they do Sandy, Squidward, and Patrick and SpongeBob.
Oh, wow.
Squidward, Patrick, and SpongeBob.
I'm having a good time with that little tiki house.
Sandy.
Sandy is a really
I think a lot of people are in the Sandy.
Also the whale girl.
The whale.
Pearl. Pearl.
Pearl.
Pearl.
Yeah.
They really did Pearl up.
Wow.
Yeah.
SpongeBob and Squidward.
It exists.
There is pornography of it.
Seeing all that, are you kind of like?
No.
I don't think it does it for me still.
I'm still too sweet word.
SpongeBob is too round.
Also, I'm not into short kings.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
You got to be at least six for two to get on this ride, you know?
Oh.
Although I was reading this.
Someone read this.
statistics to me. Apparently, like, less than 8% of the male population is taller than 6.4.
8%? Less than 8%. I can see it. Which I feel like I meet a lot of tall, like, really tall guys,
but... Yeah. It does feel like a... I think we're getting shorter, though. I think we've heard that,
where humans right now are getting shorter. I wish I were shorter. I'm too tall. I think you just need
to go to, like, Scandinavian or Nordic countries. And get, like, the... Have you seen guys getting the... the... the
the knee surgery to be taller?
Dude, that's insane.
It's insane.
Not worth it.
Not worth it at all.
Do not do that to yourself.
Guys would do anything but go to therapy.
Like, I need to be taller.
No.
So you're not in a way.
But what advice would you give this person?
I would tell them, you know, life is too short, baby girl.
It's SpongeBob is what is doing it for you.
Make you have a good day.
Make you live your life.
Baby, you'll flick your bean to SpongeBob as much as you want to.
Also, AI is, well, not AI, but there are,
things that you can do, I'm sure,
that you can have a very
realistic SpongeBob experience
using computer technology.
There you go.
You know what I mean? VR headset.
VR headset.
Yeah. Slap that Oculus on.
Get SpongeBob in there.
Y'all have intimate night.
I bet, honestly, I bet it exists.
And, you know, there's a lot of people in life
that are just looking for, like,
a platonic, almost like a,
I don't know, like a lavender marriage kind of vibe.
Like, you can be with SpongeBob,
but then have that person for partnership.
and camaraderie.
Yeah.
And then maybe they're into something else.
Like, this is bringing me back.
I, um, I read a story a while ago where this guy was in love with a roach woman.
And it was this, this roach character turned woman named Ogtha.
And he was in love with her and ended up marrying her.
And no.
That's what made him happen.
Yeah.
Ogtha.
Ha ha!
Oh, God.
I know.
So, I mean, there's ways, if you're,
you know out there there's ways to be be happy i guess but at what cost imagine inviting a family
to your to your marriage to a roach no no i'm not a big fan of roaches same only anyone is this
fan of roach well not sure clearly someone is someone yeah umphos husband i'm from new york city
i want to see no fucking roach no i have a hard time like i know we have a lot of rat lovers in the two
i'd like almost jump out of a tree at me last night so i'd one like almost jump out of a tree at me last night
So like, that freaks me out.
I would die.
I literally, I just, I went to go, like, grab one of my horses' toys.
And, like, coming down the tree was a big rat.
And, like, I just lost it.
At that point, throw me away, a skin me alive, boil my skin, clean it off, and then put it back on my body.
I know. I can't do with rodents.
Do you have a hairless cat, Colleen.
You really don't like the hair?
No, I don't like the hair.
Like no hair on my cat either.
And I've also, I got an allergy test a few months ago.
Okay.
A few years ago, sorry.
And I found out I'm allergic to number one horses.
You can't come to my house.
Number two, rats and mice.
Allergic to those.
Okay.
And then number three are dogs, four cats.
It's like all animal dandruff, basically.
I know.
Yeah.
So I can't fuck with that.
Have you ever pet a giraffe?
I never put a giraffe.
You'd probably be allergic to them too.
Because they're in the horse family.
Yeah, they have them at the LA Zoo.
You can feed them for like five bucks.
Yeah, probably I have a really bad reaction.
And so I got the test done and I was like, oh, whatever.
It's a little like test, whatever.
And then I was doing this, I was shooting a pilot for this show.
And one of the shots they had is we drove out to Temecula and they wanted us to ride horses in wine country in Temecula.
So I was like, is anyone like, no, anything?
I was like, no.
Oh, no.
And I feel my face like getting a little.
itchy. I feel like, I'm like, I'm like, oh, no, it's like, serious for you. It's happening. And then
Trinity, the tuck is also in this and she was ahead of me. She turned around to ask me a question.
And then she goes, oh my God. I was like, face this, I was like, what? I was like a hitch.
I was in the movie Hitcher Will Smith. Do you have a picture? Do you take a picture of this?
No, I didn't. But like my eyes were so red, my face has swollen up. They had to run and get me an epipen.
Yeah, I was going to say that's like an anaphylactic. Yeah, I was having like the only reaction.
I was like, I just thought it was a little, I thought I would sneeze.
Not that I would like.
Like blow up like that.
Yeah, that is really intense.
That's why I got a hairless cat because I was like, but what they don't tell you is that.
You have to oil them.
It's not the hair that you're allergic to.
Is there saliva?
It's the enzyme and their saliva that makes you allergic.
So that's why hairless are better because they don't have hair.
They're not really grooming themselves.
Exactly.
But it's not the fur.
It's the hair.
I mean, it's a saliva.
That makes total sense.
But I got it.
I was like, oh my God.
I was like, oh my God, I got this hairless cat.
I'm going to be good.
The first three months of my cat were awful.
I was constantly thinking, but then my body just got accustomed to it.
And I'm like...
Did you get that shot?
No.
No.
Because I know a lot of people do that.
Yeah, I know.
But I heard those are like not always effective.
I'm like, whatever.
That is intense.
Yeah.
Your cat is so lucky.
She's a little sweet girl.
Yeah.
Because like a lot of people would have given up.
Like three months is...
I know.
You, every story you tell me, I'm like, you are such a trooper.
I'm suffering silence
I suffer in silence a lot
Are like so
I'll just go with it
Wow
But to my own detriment sometimes
It's silly
Yeah what's a big word
That I'm trying to think of
It's like you persevere
Oh I like that
I'm a persevere
You're fluid
Adaptable
I am adaptable
There's another big word I'm looking for
You probably know it
I'm anaphylactic
No that's allergic
No but it's just like
You really are able to roll with the punches
and just like be a bigger, better person because of it.
Well, I don't know about being a better person.
Definitely a bigger person, not a better person.
You get really good energy.
Oh, I appreciate that.
You do.
I try to be a positive light in the world.
Yeah, I feel like you only would probably sabotage Bob.
For sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, often.
Okay, this next one for us,
have you ever been told you have too much boob?
So in drag, I had these, like, foam boob inserts,
and to give myself a nipple, which Kim Kardashian copied off of me.
Oh.
I would put a tight on it and I would tie like a cut the tight and I would tie like a knot in the things that looks like a nipple.
So I had these like very like fierce big nipples and drag.
Okay.
And then cut to who made a nipple bra about three years ago.
Oh, Kimberly.
I think it's because of me.
I bet it was.
Yeah, I think so.
But so that's to say yes.
I like big, I have told my boobs are too much.
Okay.
Well, this person was also told their boobs were too much.
Ooh.
This is coming from R slash, am I overreacting?
Am I overreacting for being upset when my brother-in-law told my husband that I had too much
boob? So I, 22 female, have never been particularly close with my brother-in-law, 30 male, or his
wife. But my husband is. He's 23 male. They've lived together for around seven years, actually.
He feels indebted to them as they rescued him from a difficult household situation involving
other family members and substance abuse, which I understand.
However, I get the sense that they never really approved of me.
They are religious and traditional, and I dress alternative and dye my hair.
In fact, one of the first things brother-in-law ever said to my husband when we first started dating was,
quote, you like that hair?
It was pink at the time.
I tolerate most of it, but recently, my brother-in-law had my husband meet him at a restaurant for a talk.
Uh-oh.
Brother-in-law told him that he and his wife had had a discussion and decided that I have too much boob, his exact wording to husband.
And they don't like the way I dress, nor do they want me around their eight-year-old daughter if I dress like that because they don't want her to think that's okay.
When husband came home and told me about this, I was so embarrassed. I started sobbing.
Husband got annoyed with me because he can understand where they're coming from.
Oh, God.
and thinks it wasn't unreasonable to say.
Brother-in-law also told him that they were upset that I didn't seem to want to come around very often.
And so...
Gee, you think?
So I told my husband that stuff like this is exactly why I don't feel comfortable around them.
And he got angry and then left the room.
I have triple Ds.
I can't exactly help the amount of boob I have because no matter what I wear, they will always be there.
I don't want to start wearing turtlenecks or a binder every time I have to see them,
and I've never dressed inappropriately around them on purpose, ever.
I added some pictures of my outfits for reference.
Am I overreacting for being upset, both at brother-in-law for saying that and at my husband for taking their side?
I've seen brother-in-law and his wife in person since then, and they always act super nice to my face,
and never mention the way I dress or anything, which makes me feel even weirder that they forced my husband to say,
that to me and then act like it never happened. I almost would have preferred they just say it to my
face. Just being around them gives me so much anxiety now. I feel like they're judging everything I do.
Am I overreacting? Can we see the pictures? You sure can. I want to see. So this is picture one.
Okay. Yeah, that is so modest. You could literally wear that to church. Literally.
It is like a longer cardigan black sweater, a little lacy dress, some flat.
But the boobs are covered.
The dress goes down below her knees, I think.
Yeah.
Below the knees.
It's almost like mid-caf?
Yeah, mid-e.
Yeah.
Okay, that's picture number one.
Picture number two.
Girl, there's nothing wrong with this outfit either.
Tank top looking like spaghetti strap dress, sweater tied around, converse.
Very cute.
Yeah, not at all.
Their issues are not about your boobs, girl.
Mm-mm.
They're using that as like the mask to really to convince their brother to not be with you because they have other issues.
It's not a bunch of boobs.
Also, I'm so sick and tired of people trying to police women's bodies.
And like so because, first of all, we all have breasts, men women who have breasts.
Why can I'm at the beach, I'm like, let women walk around.
Like, why can dudes have their pecks out, but women can have their pecks out?
I know.
So I think that they're masking it as some fake reason.
They're trying to call your boobs.
The pictures you sent,
not only as you're sending us this
and you're walking around,
you're out there in like a slingshot bikini.
You know what I mean?
And even then, no.
This is cutesy.
Yeah, this is cute.
It's great.
They're using that as an excuse.
They're masking some other three.
And this is a red flag for the family.
And sister-in-law,
how did, shame on you.
Well, and bring the daughter in it, too.
They don't want me around their eight-year-old daughter
because if I dress like that,
they don't want her to think it's okay.
That's crazy.
That's insane.
That's insane.
Also, are you keeping your kid at the house all the time?
Like, I've seen worse at Walmart.
I know.
I've seen people basically naked at Walmart.
Yeah, it's such, it's nonsense.
There's another issue here that they're projecting and they're using the boo thing as an excuse.
They definitely are.
And honestly, this would be my little line in the sand with my husband.
You either get on my team and you start backing me up or you're going to go move back in with your brother and his wife.
Because we're done.
Yeah, and y'all over turtlenecks around the house.
Like, who are you married to?
Whose back should you have?
Yeah, that's it.
When, like, partners don't have each other's back like that?
I'm like, what are we doing here?
You're supposed to be, you're my A-Spoon.
You're my right or die.
You should be defending me tooth and nail.
Not said of someone else.
You know what I mean?
What was that first one you said?
A spoon.
A spoon.
I don't know what that is.
He's just like, like, besties.
Like, we're like, we're in it together.
We're like...
I like anything with a spoon.
I like spooning.
So I'm like that.
Okay, okay.
Are you a big spoon or a little spoon?
I like to go back and forth.
You know, if I'm on the couch, I like to be the big spoon
because I don't want to feel like I'm falling off.
But otherwise little.
Yeah, I like to be a little spoon.
And I'm a big man.
So it takes a big, I need a fucking ladle.
This is why you need to go to like, even like a Denmark.
I know that's all tall and hot over there.
Girl, they are built.
They are people of stature.
Did you watch the World Cup?
No.
Okay, I'm going to like send you some Erling.
Hollander, I don't know, you're going to lose your mind.
Really? Yeah. Okay, I gotta go over there then. Yeah. It's time.
Yeah, I need big stock.
Add it for a stop on your tour.
Ooh, Jen-Mart. Two birds, one stone.
But overall, I'd say not overreacting.
Not a reacting at all.
I think you are so justified. And again, I think you have a brother-in-law problem,
but maybe more importantly or a bigger problem is your husband, actually.
100%.
Because he also chose to be the one.
to tell her that.
Yeah.
You, which I do like being in the know.
I want to know all the tea.
I want to know all the information.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
But the words that came out of his mouth,
I understand where they're coming from.
Get out of here.
I hate that.
Go sleep on the couch.
Maybe I actually go get a hotel.
Get out of my face.
I don't want to breathe at your same air.
No.
You got to be on my side.
Yeah.
So comment right now that's at the top.
I've got it sorted by best comment.
you're not overreacting
and your husband is completely
spineless.
I love the word spineless actually.
It's a great insult.
I love when people on Reddit, like in the comments,
they're like, girl, grow a spine.
And then they'll come back and update and be like,
I have a new shiny spine.
And like, because they get it.
It's like, have a little backbone for yourself.
That's a great.
Grow a spine.
Someone says in response to that,
she's underreacting.
His brother, shitting on her.
should never have even been made to her ears,
let alone become a problem that she needs to attend to.
The husband never should have agreed to entertain a conversation
that shits on his wife with brother-in-law in the first place
or parroted any of that evil shit to her.
I don't know when it gets fights in the comments.
They're like invested too.
Like you can tell this case, this happens to this person.
This happens to this person.
This is a personal experience that they're reliving again.
Yeah.
No, they're very triggered.
Yeah.
I'm triggered.
I've got triple D's.
Like borderline, like, the triple Ds don't even contain them anymore.
That's why we're buttoned up, you know, got to be appropriate.
But, like, it's just, it's one of those things that, like, I've got some pictures I took in can.
And I'm, like, I'm, like, scared to post them because I just like, because the tits are out.
Good.
Let them out, girl.
Let the things stop the yard.
Let them roam.
They are just out.
And it's not, it's not typically something I would post.
Like, I don't know.
I just like I hate you know as she said like no matter what you wear as a as a person with bigger boobs like it's just there it's front and center and so like I spoke on some panels and I was like buttoned up during the day but then at night like you know the girls were out
out yes girl that is so hot and so fierce also that's how best is it is it a dress or something that's that's girl you look great I'll get there I'll get there I'll get there
I'll get there.
I'm going to post them.
Okay.
I'll send him to you.
I will post.
I'll post the picture soon.
But she's not overreacting.
No.
And you got to get that hubby in check.
Yeah.
Talk to him.
Like, I feel unsupported.
I feel like, you know, you should have my back in this.
This is my body.
I feel uncomfortable.
Like, I feel it up.
Because people can't, that's just how you feel.
Yeah.
They can't twist and I feel.
100%.
And, um, please.
update us. This is only six hours old right now.
Oh, God. So this is really new, new.
Fresh. Okay, got it.
Fresh, fresh, fresh.
But okay, we're moving on to this next one.
And now, popping in with Lauren here.
For a wait, WTF, brought to by Chrysler.
The newly designed Chrysler Pacifica has its own kind of WTF moments.
Like, wow, they fit with seating up to eight.
And whoa, that folds.
thanks to stow and go seating and storage.
And you can watch them finally with the fam cam.
And we're talking furniture thanks to all that cargo space.
Hey.
Speaking of furniture, this is a doozy.
This couch caused chaos.
Chaos for this OPE.
Did it mess up the car?
Messed up her life.
So this is coming from R.S. Am I wrong?
Am I wrong for being furious that my husband skipped my promotion dinner to help his sister move a couch?
Hmm.
I, 28 female, have been married to my husband, Mark, 30 male for two years.
Last night was a huge milestone for me.
I finally got promoted to a senior manager role at my firm after working 80-hour weeks for months.
Oh.
My company hosted a gorgeous dinner at a high-end restaurant to celebrate and spouses.
were invited. Mark promised he would be there. I was sitting at the table with my boss and the
regional director waiting for him to arrive. Ten minutes before the dinner. Oh, no. Mark texted me saying
that his sister, Chloe, 25 female, needed him immediately. It turns out that Chloe bought a used
couch on Facebook Marketplace and needed Mark to drive his truck over right then and there to help her pick
it up. No. Because the seller couldn't wait.
then fire someone. Don't piss me off. I told Mark absolutely not. Chloe has a boyfriend that owns a van and they could have easily rented a moving truck for $20. Oh, it gets worse. I told him this dinner was incredibly important for my career. Mark ignored my tax and went to help her anyways.
I don't know. I'm done. Relationship over. He missed the entire dinner. Yep, it's over. When he finally got to,
home, he brought me a single half-dead flour from the grocery store and told me to stop overreacting.
Spare me.
He said, family comes first, and Chloe couldn't afford to lose the couch.
I told him he is a terrible partner, and I slept in the guest room.
Now he's calling me selfish and materialistic.
No.
Am I wrong for being so angry?
This is
divorce worthy.
He said family
comes first.
What am I?
What am I?
I'm your wife.
Am I not family?
Wow.
This is a promotion dinner,
a huge milestone
for my career
after working 80-hour weeks
for months.
Yeah, no.
And Chloe just happened
to need you to move that couch
at that exact point in time?
No chance.
This is a WTF if I've ever
Yeah.
I've ever had one.
Like, what is going on?
I don't care if people say, Lauren, you're not married, you don't understand.
You don't just divorce that easily.
This is disrespectful.
Don't care.
It's a divorce.
Divorce.
Divorce.
Yes.
It's so beyond disrespectful.
The doubling down on everything.
It's just like I can't imagine feeling less seen, less heard, less appreciated in a relationship
than me pouring my heart and soul into something in order to advance our lives, all our
lives.
and then to the one moment.
The one moment.
That's paid for too.
I'm not even asking you to pick up the bill.
A gorgeous high-end restaurant.
Yeah.
Don't you want to try the food?
Also, all the spouses are invited.
Yeah.
And the one who they're celebrating is the only one who's not there.
I think he did it on purpose.
I think he's threatened by your success.
I don't think he wants you to be better than him or more successful than him or make more than him.
I actually don't think he likes that you got this promotion.
and this is his way of like taking away from that big celebratory moment and sabotaging you.
This is a deliberate sabotage.
I agree.
The couch could have sat on the curb for two hours.
She bought that couch, didn't want to use the vehicles available.
Guess what?
Sit on the couch outside and wait.
You want to buy this couch two day right now?
Sit on the curb with it.
It'll be there with you.
Parked in it.
I'm going to go to dinner and I'll help you after.
I, I, I, I, I, that's exactly what I was going to say next to. Not everyone, of course, but I think like collectively like we're just not there yet where it's just like equally as excited for each other. I don't think he's equally excited. No. Because the top comment does agree. Not the asshole. Maybe he's jealous of you. For sure. O.P. responds. Honestly, sometimes I genuinely wonder if that is the real reason. So she's feeling it. I think it's a combo. She's feeling it. Are they?
that he probably got so excited when he had a excuse come up. I don't think he's that
malicious that he plotted it to be like, let me be busy on this exact time. Maybe. But like,
I feel like it might just have been like, oh, great. This makes me so happy. Now I can avoid
feeling like a less successful partner in this relationship. Yeah. No, a lot of people are
questioning if the couch thing is even real. Like someone's like the couch thing is a weak excuse.
And I can't believe you took it up face value. He clearly didn't.
want to come, didn't plan to come, and would have come up with an excuse not to come and blamed you
for his mistreatment of you no matter what. And I will say, like, her boyfriend had a van.
Yeah. Do you know, like my mom used to have a Chrysler Pacifica and let me tell you, I stuffed that van full,
full. That was my little high school van. I put all me and my little friends in there and we go to
hockey games. Like, you can fit a couch in a van. Why didn't her boyfriend just do it? Like,
He
He
Calm down
Calm down
Like he just didn't want to be there
No
It's so hurtful
And then the flower
The one little flower
Hold on
What was it
A single
Half dead flour
From the grocery store
You couldn't even get a dozen
No
A single
Half dead
So it was probably 50% off
It was probably free
It was probably the broken stem
That they were giving away for free
No, it's-
Keep it. Exactly.
Go put it in the compost bin.
I don't even want it.
No, I'd be like, go, if you really care, go and find a time machine.
Yeah.
To go back in time and show up at my dinner.
I was going to say, like, just some dandy lions and pick them.
I, like, I would rather you at least show me some freaking effort.
Ugh.
Yeah.
Brutal.
Yeah, he did not, he did not prioritize her.
And it's actually insane that he said the line, family comes first.
I know.
And Chloe couldn't afford to lose the couch.
Are you ready to put your family first, actually, and drive into the future with confidence?

Bam, baby.
Thank you, Chrysler.
Do you feel like there's hairdresser etiquette?
You know, for me...
Are you DIY?
For me, when I go to the hairdresser.
No, I don't, I've not had a haircut or a hair, anything.
DIY.
Do I do myself, yeah.
How do you see the back?
You just feel around?
No, I just, I put my back to the mirror and I hold up my phone and I use the camera
my phone like that way.
It's so good.
Thank you.
And you got eyebrows right now.
Yeah, I started growing them again.
They're so good, the shape.
Thank you.
Flawless.
Okay, well, this person is questioning some hairdresser etiquette.
And if her husband is being wrong.
If it's her husband, probably, yeah.
This is coming from our very own too hot take subreddit,
titled, Am I the asshole for thinking my husband should stop going to our hairdresser after she fired me as a client?
How deep this loyalty go?
My husband, 63 male, and I, 60 female, have gone to the same hairdresser for years.
him for about 30 years, me for about 25 years.
She owns her own shop, is excellent at what she does, and stays very busy.
In the 25 years that I've been her client, I've been a no-call, no-show three times, including this time.
I know that's bad, and I'm not making excuses.
The last time it happened about two years ago, I paid for both the missed appointment and my next haircut.
For the last three weeks, my husband and I have been essentially keeping visual.
with my mother-in-law, whom I adored and is passing.
We ended up burying her on Monday.
During that time, I completely forgot about a Saturday haircut appointment.
About a week later, I realized I had missed it.
I called her three times to apologize, pay for the missed appointment, and reschedule.
But she never returned my calls.
Yesterday, my husband stopped by to reschedule one of his appointments.
He asked about me, and she told him, quote,
This isn't the first time she's done this, and I'm not interested in having her as a customer.
I understand she has every right to stop seeing me as a client.
What bothers me is that after 25 years, she wouldn't even return my call and tell me herself.
I'm not going to beg someone to take my money, but I'm hurt and honestly pretty annoyed.
Here's where I might be wrong.
I think my husband should stop going to her too.
He said he would think about it, but now I'm irritated with him as well.
What do I do?
You know, sometimes, I do know this.
For all my friends who do have hair and go to hairdresser,
sometimes when you find the right hairdresser barber,
you're like, it's like, you feel like you struck gold.
This person gets me.
They get the hairline perfectly.
They do, it's like, it's such a delicate relationship.
Yeah.
And to chuck that away because my wife can no longer go to the same place,
I don't know.
I don't know.
Like, the loyalist in me is like,
You know, with thickest these, we write a dawn.
We're in this together.
But the practical side of me is like, the pragmatic side is like, I mean, I'm not, I'm not sucking them off.
I'm just getting a haircut, bro.
That's true.
It's just a little scissors and a little trim in the shave.
I mean, there's a lot of little things you can be loyal to.
A lot of people are loyal to their nail girl.
Nail text, yes.
Nail tags, have a big draw, lash.
But like if I'd been seeing someone 25 years and the reason they cut me off was because I was taking care of my dying mother-in-law.
Yeah.
My husband's mom.
And you're, babe, you're going to go keep seeing this woman?
Yeah.
This woman is a witch.
Yeah.
Also, I did the math 25 years, 365 days a year, 9,1125 days.
Out of those 9,1,125 days, she no-call, no-showed three times.
and paid for those missed appointments as well as the haircut.
So you still got paid.
Yeah.
And I don't know.
Don't let me.
Don't let me sway you.
No, listen, I like working it out.
I think where I'm going to land is, you know, this is my hair sales, but this is my
partner.
We're married.
We're in this.
So I'm sure I can find another.
It'll be a little annoying, a little inconvenient, but there are other hair styles out there.
So your team, hubby, should find a new one with you.
Yeah, I think so.
That's where I would fall.
Yeah, I think so.
Like, this woman kind of disrespected me, and I get she's entitled to that.
That is so her right.
She's going to run her business how she wants, and fair, right?
Yeah.
But the reason I missed it was a family emergency.
And, like, she's disrespecting me.
Yeah.
And so I would want my partner to stand by my side.
I've been mad over like less serious things and I'm still like, you have my back, right?
Yeah.
Like, I'm trying to think of one.
But it's like, it's just nice to feel supported.
Yeah, for sure.
You want to be supported and it's not, you can find another hair styles.
Yeah.
So the top comment on this one, actual question to hairdressers, taking all the emotion out of it.
If you paid for the haircut, even if you weren't there, is the reason you'd be dropped due to the loss tip and opportunity to upsell.
like is it a financial thing or just personal?
Because people aren't really getting it in the comments.
They're like, why would you get rid of you?
Yeah.
And so this person responds, I've been a stylist for 30 years.
Like the other commenter said, this is ego.
Or the lady did something else.
She isn't saying.
They're insane, right?
I'm like, you've been so loyal and you've only called no-co-no-no-cho three times and is that reaction.
There seems to be something missing here.
Yeah, like what are you doing when you're in that chair?
Yeah.
Creating chaos.
Yeah.
The person goes on to say, in all my years, I've only ever fired two clients.
One was stealing.
And the other was because in over a year, she would book appointments and never made a single one.
A client, what the fuck is the client stealing?
I don't know.
Shampoo?
Shampoo.
Scissors.
Cissors, maybe.
Yeah.
I did have a hairdresser story ages ago.
And this is maybe a reason to be thankful you don't have hair.
But this person would go in and get their haircut.
And the hairdresser would keep their hair in jars.
All the clients are just this one person.
Just that one.
Ooh, a voodong.
I don't know.
That's kind of hot.
Yeah, they're into me so much.
I want to keep my hair.
Maybe that's your love language.
Maybe that's how you feel love.
Well, our writer does give us an edit, an update.
Okay.
Reddit is wild.
You never know when a post is going to gain a lot of attention.
I particularly enjoy the numerous people who just assume I'm an asshole, difficult
client.
Always late, bitchy, etc.
with exactly no evidence of that.
I suspect the explanation is she's been in business long enough.
She is successful enough.
And now she just doesn't take any shit off anybody.
As well, she shouldn't.
Yeah.
She's amazing.
I fully admit 100% I was wrong for my no call, no show.
I also never demanded that my husband not go there.
I mentioned I feel like maybe you should just stand behind me.
This is not a fight.
We're not getting divorced.
I'm not leaving him.
That's ridiculous.
Because I think some people in the comments were like, divorce.
Divorce is crazy.
People throw a divorce around so easily.
I'm like...
I used to.
Oh, did you?
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
But now you're in it, you're like, no, like...
I'm still like, I love that it's an option.
Like, I love that it exists for people.
Yeah, I'm like, but jumping to divorce over here is...
Perousous.
Come on.
So, yeah, no.
I'm like, you can work this out in the remix.
O.P. does go on to stay.
long story short, I have a simple, almost boy haircut, no color, nothing fancy, 20 minutes in the chair, $40 plus a $10 tip every time.
She talks, I listen. I'm not much of a talker. Every haircut I get makes me happy. I never complain. I think she's just tired of people taking her for granted. And I probably took her for granted at the wrong time in the wrong place. For the moment, I've made an appointment with somebody else. Maybe sometime in the future, I will reach out and try again. But right now, she's mad and she's hurt my feelings.
This person's very big.
And self-aware.
Yeah.
And I love that.
Because that's a level of self-awareness I'm trying to get to.
I need that.
I'm in my late mid-30s, you know?
I try.
I try to.
I really try to devil's dab to get myself.
How old are you?
32.
32, I'm 36.
Yeah, right there.
Same boat.
Yeah, no, yeah.
I feel like I want the precipice of really having a nail down.
I'm not close.
You're like, no, not even.
No.
Not right now.
Not right now.
I'm going through like a little funk.
So I'm kind of in like just kind of like a not feeling great.
Gotcha.
So I'm trying to be really self-aware of the situation.
But it's hard.
It is hard.
It's like I just want petty revenge.
Yeah.
I just want scorched earth.
It just feels meh.
But this one I think she's great.
I'm going to take a little out of her playbook here and I'm just going to grin and bear it.
Yeah.
Bottle it up.
What have you been saying?
saying, fester in silence.
Suffer in silence. Suffer in silence.
No, suffering silence is not good, though.
It's not good to keep that in.
Maybe just special occasions.
Yeah, just special occasions.
Okay, I've got one last story for us, and then I've got one where I'm just like,
I just want you to offer a little advice.
Okay.
Have you ever been on a seesaw?
I didn't even do that as a kid.
Never?
Never?
That's the one that, like this?
Yeah.
Yeah, no, never been on a seesaw.
A lot of these playground instruments seem dangerous
And whoever's thought,
that is a great thing we should keep on a playground
For children to play with it's crazy.
Like, I've seen so many Reddit injury videos
Where a kid gets their slip, their chin hit on one of those seesaws.
The merry-go-round one where the one that you spin,
I'm like, who thought that this vomit vehicle?
Oh, when you can whip them?
Yes.
Yeah.
Did you ever go on a tire swing?
No, just a regular swing.
I always try to make it go over the railing, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, you got like the height.
You could probably like really get the momentum going.
Yeah, but I never met the centrifugal force to make my body go over there.
I was a very big kid.
I was the biggest in my, in every grade.
The kids could never push me.
It took like the entire clots to push me.
Oh my God.
That actually sounds kind of nice though not to get bullied.
Oh, no.
I was bullied.
Oh, no.
I was straight.
Of course, I got bullied.
Oh, the height didn't even save you.
The height did not save me.
Okay, well, this one has to do with a seesaw.
It's a very complex problem that you're, I'm confused.
So it's coming from Am I the Asshole titled Am I the Asshole for refusing to pay for my best friend's medical bills after accidentally catapulting him across a park.
Okay.
I am 35 male and my best friend, Marcus, is 34 male.
We met in fourth grade and have been best friends for years.
We've always had a good friendship.
We were there for each other during breakups.
I supported him after his dad passed.
And all around, he's been a good friend.
But something happened last week that made me question a lot.
Last week, Marcus and I went on a guys trip together,
where we traveled to our old hometown to visit places,
just for the sake of nostalgia.
We ended up going for a walk in our old neighborhood where we grew up,
and we passed the elementary school that we went to together.
The school has been renovated since the 90s, obviously, and a whole new playground was installed.
There was this super cool seesaw that was installed, and we really wanted to try it out just because it looked fun.
We saw a couple of kids using it when we first walked by the school, so we decided to walk around a bit more and then come back to see if they were gone.
When we came back to the park, the kids were gone, and Marcus went over to the seesaw and sat on one end.
I was super excited, and I ran over to the other end.
Now, here's where I have to preface a couple of things.
I'm a big guy.
6-2, almost 300 pounds.
Marcus was always small for his age as a kid, and even now, he's only 5'3 and pretty skinny.
Wow.
A lot of people think it's funny when we hang out because we look like a kind of odd pair.
But basically, I'm trying to explain the physics of this so you can fully understand what happened.
So when I ran to the other end of the seesaw, I guess you could say, I kind of just.
jumped onto it.
I thought it would be funny
and wasn't really thinking,
honestly.
I pretty much jumped onto the seesaw
with my feet on the seat,
but I guess the screws on the seesaw
were loose or something
because my side of the seesaw
went all the way to the ground.
Marcus shot up like six feet in the air
and literally flew a couple of feet.
He landed awkwardly in the woodchips
and ended up breaking one of his legs.
Breaking a leg?
Marcus,
is still in the hospital and just found out that he needs surgery on his leg.
He's asking me to pay the medical bills because technically it was my fault that he got hurt.
I didn't mean for him to get hurt, and I feel terrible about it.
I've been visiting him every day in the hospital to make sure he's doing okay,
and I extended my hotel stay in this town so I could be there for him.
The thing is, I've been saving up for an engagement ring for my girlfriend for six years.
Oh, brother.
I really don't want to spend that money on Marcus's surgery,
especially because my girlfriend is expecting me to propose soon.
And it would take a lot of time to save up enough money to get a ring again.
And to be clear, Marcus was the one who first suggested we used the seesaw anyways.
So am I the asshole for saying that I won't pay for his medical expenses?
I think that you are the asshole for not, like, you can't.
catapulted me six feet into the end up broke my leg because you're like fucking around and doing like a thing.
Like none of that is my fault.
And I think you should pony up and help me out with the medical expenses.
Like what?
Like we're grown adult people.
Why would you do that?
I know.
You could probably put this on your homeowner's insurance.
Oh.
Like my brother, oddly, like accidentally injured someone at a wedding while they were dancing.
She slipped and like fell.
And so she sued him.
and it just went on my mom's homeowners insurance.
Okay.
But that's like not legal advice.
I'm not a lawyer.
Consult the legal advice sub or whatever.
But like I do think like OP, OP made that title.
OP used the word accidentally catapulted him across a park.
Yeah.
You recognize you catapulted him and you decided to jump on it.
Like also you try to explain these physics, but that's just kind of a basic scale.
Like Marcus is five, three and pretty skinny and you're six to three hundred pounds.
How were you going to seesaw?
That's what I'm saying.
And you knew what, and you thought you were being funny.
You thought it was going to be cute.
You thought it would be funny.
Yeah.
And also, I have a sneaking suspicion.
Like, when you use the word catapult, I think when you're six feet, you're rounding down.
It's more like probably 10 feet in the year.
I would honestly double it.
To break a leg?
The force, you have to break a leg.
Yeah, let's look at that.
Let's get the physics up in here.
Force required to break a human leg, mainly the shin bone, about 11.
thousand newtons, which is roughly 2,500 pounds of force.
Thighbone, around 4,000.
Yeah, I think that you OD, you walled out, you walled out, and you need to pay for my broken leg.
Also, the hospitals are expensive.
I literally had a stomach thing.
I ended up with like colitis in the hospital, and I still have a $8,000 bill I have to
bed.
It's insane.
And I was there for like 24 hours.
Yeah.
I had a friend.
She recently moved to France and she went on like a little French skiing thing back in the winter.
She's from the States.
She broke her leg too?
So she was like right before she went skiing, she got like the ski insurance just in case of an accident, had an accident, had this like crazy gash.
Like they had to air lift up to a hospital, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Oh my God.
Guess how much that entire experience cost her?
Zero dollars.
17 euros.
America, just getting.
Be a million.
An Uber to the hospital is like $3,000.
Ambulance.
Yeah, no, yeah.
So, airlifted, emergency, stitches, blah, blah, blah, blah, 17 euros.
So I can only imagine what this medical bill is.
You have to pony up, you have to help, and you have to fix it.
Yeah.
I mean, he also could just sue you.
True.
So.
And which one of, you know?
Do you want to remain friends?
Right.
Or, like, I think one way or another, he could get his money out of you.
Is he that kind of guy?
I don't know, maybe.
But also, like, you don't have to go crazy on the ring.
Like there's lab grown, there's moisonite.
Yeah.
There's other options for you can get.
Yeah, no blood diamonds for your girlfriend, okay?
No.
We're going to do a nice lab grown.
I love a moisonite.
Yeah.
We love economical options.
Absolutely.
I mean, not for me, but for you, it would be great.
Yeah.
Also, if your girlfriend's going to break up with you because her ring's not nice enough,
you don't want her.
You don't want her.
Top comment on this one, you're the asshole.
Wasn't just technically your fault.
It was your fault.
What the fuck?
In my opinion, you're the asshole, says the next top comment.
You directly caused this guy's injury.
The least you could do is not let him ruin himself financially.
You hurt your friend with your carelessness.
You're the asshole.
You're the asshole, sweetie.
You aren't confused about that.
I hope he sues you and gets much more than the cost of the medical bills.
Someone does say you're both technically the asshole here.
Both.
How is it?
Both.
That person should...
Mm-mm.
You don't pay. He should be suing you in small claims court.
Yes. I totally agree.
Surgery, hospitalization, lost wages and recovery.
I'm thinking small claims won't come close.
Ooh.
So how do you want to proceed forward, my guy?
You're the asshole.
You got to make it right.
I agree.
Okay. Last one for us here.
This is coming from R-slash relationships.
I, 24 female, really want to go see a drag.
show next week, but I'm torn because I'd have to go alone. I'm super nervous. This is pretty
straightforward and may seem silly to some, but I can't make up my mind about this for the life
of me, and I'd really appreciate some kind advice. Ever since the beginning of this month,
when I saw this ad for Halloween special drag show scheduled for next week, I desperately wanted to
go. But none of my friends are available to go with me, and I'm intimidated by the thought
of going by myself, mainly because the show starts at 9 and ends at 2 a.m. I've never been out that
late by myself, and despite having been born and raised in the city, I hardly know my way around
my own neighborhood. So getting home would be a challenge since the subway would have already stopped
running by then. And not only that, the show itself is being held at a bar and I don't drink,
at all. I don't know if there's an etiquette or something associated with these kind of events.
I'm anxious about sticking out like a sore thumb for going there by myself and sipping on water
the whole night, looking like a total loser. Is it okay if I don't talk to anyone unless I'm spoken to first?
What if I stayed glued to my phone and just quietly watch the show?
Can I leave before the show is scheduled to end, or would that be rude?
My little queer heart is crying out for me to go because it looks so promising and fun,
but I'm super anxious about everything I've written above.
Please help.
Okay, there's so much here.
First of all, you can absolutely go to the show by yourself.
Plenty people go to drag shows alone.
The number one thing you want to do is walk with at least $20 in singles.
Okay.
Okay.
If it's a free show, you can walk in there with $20,000 singles.
You want $20 in singles, $1, $10 bill and $2, $5 bills, okay?
Because here's what's going to happen.
For most of girls performing, you're going to give them $1, $1, $2, $3.
But there's going to be one queen that's going to fucking turn the party.
And she's going to blow your mind.
She's going to do a backflip into a split and then pull her tits off of the floor.
It's going to be where her balls are, okay?
It's going to be the most amazing.
amazing thing you've ever seen. And you're going to tip
that queen $10. Because when you tip her a big bill,
you're going to have her undivided attention. She's going to
make sure you're good. She's going to take care of you. So you want to cement that thing.
And you can always leave whatever time you want. If you're going to leave early,
don't sit in the front. Yeah.
Don't be in the front row and a half or through the show like
it's going to be awkward. Everyone's going to see you leave.
And then the queen's going to make fun of you. So if you're going to leave early,
don't sit in the front. And let me tell you something. But gay bars are
are filled with sobers.
There are so many sober people.
I know so many sober people at the bar.
And also, if you don't want to, like, signal that you're sober and you're drinking water,
just get a seltzer.
People don't know if everyone, everyone's going to think that it's a vodka soda.
Yep.
So get you a salsa.
Don't sit in front of you leaving early.
And make sure you tip.
If you don't tip, you're signing your own death certificate and people will shun you from the bar.
Yeah.
But go by yourself.
I go to directions by myself all the time.
People, I feel, like, make friends a lot at live show.
shows too.
Yes.
Like when they come to our live shows, they go by themselves, they'll do a meet and greet.
They'll literally make friends in line for the meet and greet and then they take their
picture together.
Love that.
And I'm sure that's the same at your show, at your tour.
Yeah.
People just, that sense of connection when you're in the room and you're a fan of the same person.
Of the same person, yeah.
You instantly have something to talk about and bond over.
Yeah.
What's your favorite episode?
How'd you find them?
Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Like, you will make friends.
Yeah, you'll make friends.
So don't be afraid.
You'll make friends, girl.
Don't take that all that stress and anxiety.
it's going to be a good night. Treat yourself.
And yeah, go go listen.
Go watch these local shows. Don't only be a, I only watch drag race girls.
So, yeah, that's my advice.
I love that.
Where can people find you? How can they come to your show?
