The thought of my sons growing up without me inspired me to quit smoking. I talked to my doctors and then I threw away all my cigarettes, ashtrays, and lighters. I started exercising instead of smoking. Staying away from alcohol when I was first quitting was key. I kept on trying, learned something each time. Do whatever it takes. No matter how many times it takes. We did it, so can you.

Luckily, those listening can't see how pathetic we are. Yeah, but on TikTok, we already got the judgment for the ice cubes and now we added straws. We might as well be drinking our wine out of sippy cups. We're going to get absolutely flamed on TikTok. It's great. Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I think there's just something that makes red wine so much better when you just add just one ice cube.

I need 10. I love cold. I don't know why people hate on it so much. Okay, so pro tip, I guess, which I should have thought of today, but someone recommended doing frozen grapes. You just freeze the grapes and then put your grapes in the drink, which makes sense. But I'm also like, I like red wine. But like I kind of like it watered down. I know. Is that so wrong? Yeah. Am I gross?

And this wine is actually... Ice and wine. Straight to jail. And I feel like it's a sin because this wine is actually not $5. It's a bougie bottle. It's literally $19.99. Trying to go, you know, more high class. My current bottle is $6.99.

Oh, love that. The Moon X Cabernet tried out. Well, let's dive in. Let's do it. This one's juicy today. I can't wait. So college, we had our fair share of roommate trouble drama. Oh yeah.

Fun. Yeah. And then recently started dating her boyfriend, Jeff. We all went to Arizona and like stayed at his house like one weekend. And apparently I had already met Jeff in college. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. And I didn't even realize.

So when we got to his house, I went up to him and I'm like, Jeff, it's so nice to meet you. And he looks me dead in the eyes and goes, Morgan, we've met. He said you met three times. Not a chance in hell. One time, Max, but one time with a fuzzy memory. The other two, no memory. None.

College was a good time for me. But he got to experience me and my roommate problems. And you guys have heard about Teresa in the first episode and fake name. But yeah, Alex, I'm really, really sorry. I was mean to you. But Jeff brought up this roommate story. And he watched the whole thing. Alex, our senior years just had very different activities.

Alex had a long term boyfriend and I was going out making new friends, bringing them back until three. Like I was probably a classic stuff. Yeah. Like I had to listen to her and her boyfriend have sex to the vent and she had to listen to me party at three. Like it was, it was a bad trade off for both of us, but we're still friends today.

So thank God for that. But I can't believe you exposed her real name. Not that Alex is like a very unique name, but sorry. I hope you're listening. But when I met Jeff, he told me this story and he's like, I thought you were such a badass. Like you were yelling at your roommate, like blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, I feel like a terrible person.

That's hilarious. Let's not ever repeat this story again. That's so sweet though that he said that you were a badass. Like that's a compliment. Oh, he was so impressed. Yeah. I thought I stood my ground and told it a fuck off. But more of the story here.

Love you, Alex. Sorry. We, you know, senior year is rough. Uh, but roommates can be really, really tough, really tough. So today's topic roommates, they're fucking rough because they are like, no matter how good of a roommate situation you have, like there's always going to be something. I can't wait to hear this one because I, I honestly, I suppressed. Is that the right word?

Do you say suppressed? Yeah. Okay. You have some roommate trauma. Oh my God. Trauma. And I've, I just suppressed it so I don't talk about it. And I don't even really want to talk about it on this podcast because it was just like

traumatic. We go in there. But however, watching TikToks made me realize that I feel so not alone. Like there was TikToks that were saying like no one ever talks about, like they say, you know, relationship problems with, you know, family or with your significant other. But no one ever talks about the fact that we need therapy for like our roommate trauma. And I think that's why Reddit is so great too, because these stories, like these people are having issues with their roommates and they're reaching out.

They're like, I don't know what else to do. Like this is my last resort because half the time, like, or I guess most of the time, like your roommates are your friends or people you're close with. So if you're battling with those people, how do you reach out to and like vent to Reddit? Luckily for us. Also quick question before we get into this. Did you ever see the TikTok girl who had a roommate who believed in Bigfoot and she made it like her full like mission to find Bigfoot?

No, but I want to have her on here now. Oh God, I need to find that one. It was a great one. I think Bigfoot's great one. I think Bigfoot's real. But there's gotta be. There's gotta be. I mean, maybe.

I don't. I've never really looked into it. People out there that are really big. People. That sounded wrong. But I think there is a Bigfoot, like big aliens out there. No. I think aliens.

What? I'm just exposing myself for like the conspiracy loving bitch I am. So true. Bigfoot's real. Aliens are real. Morgan sat me down one day and was like, Lauren, we need to talk about JFK. I didn't make sure you know. Yeah.

Oh, it wasn't Lee Harvey. As well. Okay. On to the next. Okay. Here we go. So this first story. There we go.

It's not your traditional roommate by the title. It's a guy and his mom. My mom, 56 year old female has been using my 19 male sex toys. I am gay. I don't. Mmm. Bad roommate vibes. Yeah.

You don't steal your roommates sex toys. So the mom. 56 year old mom. How does he know that she's stealing them? We'll find out. Okay. I've been a collector of toys from a certain company recently. I fill the holes in my relationship at the moment with quarantine.

I've spent around $1,500 on my sex toy collection. I'm impressed. Honestly, I've seen some crazy prices. Like I went to, I went to a dandos arian party once and they were giving like party gifts. Like, you got free dildos. I mean, fuck. I'm jealous. No, it was, it was kind of a mess because it was our other friend, Alyssa, who got like

the party package or whatever. And then she was just like, you need this more than I do. I was like, bitch. I'll take that as a calm thing. I don't know. True. True. But anyway, I looked it up online and it was actually like 350.

Holy shit. Right. So I was shocked how expensive that stuff can be. That's insane because the one vibrator and all of my friends can attest to this, literally all of them. But I have this one vibrator that I buy off Amazon for everyone. And that's again, this sounds kind of weird, but it's a 1299 vibrator, $13. Not at all.

I just like, I'm flabbergasted even talking about it because it's just like, I'm getting hot and bothered here. It's so good. But I literally have like, if you look at my Amazon history and you pull up this item, there's literally 20 of them because I use them so much and, you know, they're $13. So they sometimes they break. Right. Right.

But I ordered them for everyone. Like I've ordered Sarah one, you won. I don't know if I ever got all hundred roped into it, but I order all my friends that these, the same vibrator and like maybe I'll post the link or like DM us on Instagram. If you want the link for this because it's, it's a deal. Morgan's go to gift like housewarming present. Oh my God. I, um, I actually bought it for my brothers.

Like my little brother who's God, me and my family are so weird. So weird. But I actually bought it for my little brother's ex-girlfriend because I was like, before she was an ex. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Before she was next.

Oh my God. That would be so savage. Like, Hey, I think you need this. Sorry about the breakup. Here's your parting gift. Vibrator. But, um, no, I, I'm sure the new one will get it too because I just, it's my initiation gift, apparently.

Yeah. Clearly. But, uh, we, you know, we were talking like, do you guys, you know, Taylor, like, do you make sure Danica has an orgasm too? And he's like, I mean, it's like typical boy, like shy boy. She doesn't kill you for saying this. But like typical shy boy. And he's like, no, I just do what I want.

I'm like, you're a terrible boyfriend. And Danica, I'm ordering you this vibrator. And so it was her Christmas present. Wait, wait. This is real? This actually, this was the ex-girlfriend? Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. So, um, that was really nice of you. And also like, Ellie, if you're listening, you'll get one too. Don't worry. They're good. God damn it. What else is this story? What else is it?

I need to know more. That's it. I mean, just, I'm going to have to have my mom on this podcast sometime because like my mom, like in the middle of this conversation, my mom was like doing positions. And she's like, you guys should try this one. Taylor, you go like this. And she was like demonstrating positions. I can't, I can't even imagine.

No, my, my brothers, like anytime me and my mom are together, my brothers are like, they've won. They dread it because they, they call me like mini Danette, which shoe fits maybe a little not totally, but a little. Not on politics. Not on politics. But I, I, you, I corrupt it. Yeah, you did.

But, um, like when me and my mom are together, it's just chaos. Like I love to talk about sex and sexuality and just like the complete opposite. Yeah. I'm like, it doesn't exist. I don't think it exists. Just bottle it up. Just bottle it up. I'm like, there's no chance me and my family have had any sexual experiences ever.

And I, whenever we're like in the group setting, I'm like, there's no chance. I just, yeah, doesn't exist. And I'm so open about it. And I love talking about it. So funny. So me and my mom, we always just like gang up on my brothers and we're like, Matt, how's your sex life with your wife? Oh my God, they probably hate that.

Like you have two kids. Are you still focusing on each other? Oh my God. Taylor, do you make sure? That's probably way better though. That's probably really healthy. It is. I definitely think it is.

I think there's certain boundaries. Yeah. That you probably cross. Cause like, come on. You probably cross. I know, but I like to believe that I'm very respectful of people's boundaries. And so when they, when they do finally say, shut the fuck up Morgan. I do.

I do stop. That's so nice. Yeah. But I love that. I want to encourage a healthy sex life and be very sex positive and just live your life. I love that. So what, like, I need to know more about this story though. Oh God.

I know. We got so off topic here. So what, uh, what does she, I mean, okay. So it's a lot to recap. Yeah. Um, this boy, 19 male lives with his mom and he has a bunch of toys. He spent 1,500 on this collection. Obviously each of these are meant for one person only.

Sharing is not caring for them. They can get bacteria and carry disease that never go away. I take care of my collection, but a couple of them have gone missing recently. Obviously this makes me nervous as these are meant to be kept to myself. One of my quote friends has found its way into my mom's shower. I know that he doesn't have a mind of his own. So someone's been taking him places. Dad is on a work trip and siblings don't live here.

It must be my mom. This is the weirdest situation I've ever been in. Anyone got advice for the next steps? I'm speechless. I'm speechless. Like, I just can't even put myself in that same situation because like, would you confront your mom if she was taking your sex toys? I don't think you would.

I don't know if I would because we just talked about, like, I think that I would play dumb. Yeah. I would immediately be like, bitch, no. Like, I hope you sanitize that first foremost because you have to think about this too. Like, if he's gay, like he mentioned, like this toy is going up his butt. And for his mom, it's probably not going up her butt. So like, you know, you got a lot of bacteria, cross-contamination, like messy. I don't know.

I, for me, like this wouldn't be a hard topic for me because I would probably just go up to my mom and be like, oh, did you take my fucking vibrator? Like, what'd you do with it? Well, are you using it? I think that you wash it. The big question too is that like, does she already know that he has this collection and that he's spent a lot of money and that he really cares about it? Because if she knows that, then it's just like no question.

Like, you're taking my personal belongings that are like extra personal. Well, she's in there digging around for them. Like he said, like, yeah, it didn't get up and walk away. Like, it's not, this isn't an episode of Toy Story. Maybe. So his mom is obviously borrowing his toys. I think you just need to be like, hey, I'm really happy that you're exploring. You know, if you and dad want to bring toys into the bedroom, do it.

Wait, wait, wait. So the dad is, he's on a work trip. So I think that's why she's borrowing the toys. Wow. She couldn't wait. She couldn't wait. She needed that, you know, sexual satisfaction. I mean, she's a house owner.

Can't she just order it herself? I mean, you'd think so. $14.99, didn't you say? $12.99. $12.99. But I think for a lot of people, like, it's, you know, a lot of people aren't as sex-positive and like it's very like nerve-wracking and taboo to even go to a... But then wouldn't you be more discreet?

Like, if I would have sneakily borrowed someone's dildo... You'd put it back. Yeah. You'd like wash it and put it back. Right. You'd think. But I don't know, maybe she's like, I mean, he spent $1,500 on sex toys. Maybe she was like, he probably won't notice one.

That would be it. And she's too embarrassed to like talk about it or ask. But there's so many ways to get it now. Like Amazon, like there's so many toys, discreet shipping. But she probably shares an account with her husband. You never know what's going on with the husband and their like communication. True. Some people are weird.

They consider that like cheating, which I can't... Yeah. Which is, I mean, far-fetched. That's kind of like Amish to me, but... No, but some people like, they do like some people... Pleasure yourself without me, like cheating. Yeah. Well, and I think some people are just very uncomfortable with sex toys.

They think it like is, oh, you're using this vibrator. Like you're replacing me. Like I think some guys or even, you know, other females in whatever your relationship dynamic is, I think they see it as like, oh, you're replacing me. I'm not enough. I'm not doing it for you. Right. But it's not that.

Especially if you use it. If you use it alone, like if you're dick vibrated, things would be different. True. But I know, but I think that has something to be said. But it's just like, when you use it on your own, it's just like, it's just, you're literally just trying to like get yourself off. But I think when you use it with your partner, it's a different experience, a different dynamic.

And I think it's like, it's not replacing you. It's just adding to the experience. It's heightening it. And I just, I don't think, you know, if you haven't experienced that or had an open relationship where you can talk about what that is, like, I don't think a lot of people know that. What are the comments on this one? Post is deleted.

He just needs to confront his mom. Yeah, exactly. Just communication is not that hard. Right. It might be a little touchy taboo for some people, but like, just be like, hey, love you. Like, hey, I found this and I don't know why you did that. Like it's not that hard.

No. So that one's a pretty easy fix. So the next story. Am I the asshole for putting my penis in peanut butter and leaving it in the kitchen? Um, maybe. I mean, if it's your peanut butter, then no, it's your peanut butter. Let's dive in. Do whatever you want with your peanut butter.

I'm looking for some assistance determining whether I'm the asshole in the situation that has divided our house into two groups. I, 20 year old male, am a college student living with four other guys my age. It's our second year living together and the last year we had an issue with people eating food that isn't theirs. Like that's, that's a worldwide problem. Lord can relate. It's a worldwide pandemic.

That's not yours. But I've actually, I've done that actually when I'm drunk and I've eaten like my expensive ass salmon. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, what can I do to replace it? Let me go buy you the same fish. Yeah. It's a big problem.

But I don't do it like regularly. You know what I mean? Like I've done it before when I'm like. Accidents happen. Yeah. Accidents happen for sure. So now we have a strict label your stuff and only eat things with your name on it policy. My girlfriend and I like to get a bit frisky in the bedroom.

And a few nights ago I dipped my penis in peanut butter and she licked it off. Yes. I understand that is slightly bizarre. It's not that weird. I don't think it's weird because people use whipped cream. Yeah. We see crazy things on Reddit all the time. Like that's, that's baby shit.

Exactly. It's a week. Yeah. It's a week. Try harder next time. Go big or go home. Yeah. No, not not bizarre.

It's not weird. But that's how we roll. The controversy is that since we have a mouse problem, I did not want to leave the peanut butter in my bedroom. So afterwards I closed it and returned it to my kitchen cupboard. Note that it had a huge quote, peanut butter dilemma label on it. So it was clear that it belonged to me. I don't understand.

What does that mean? Peanut butter dilemma? I'm sure he like labeled it. Like maybe he has two peanut butters. And so he labeled like the one that he put his dick in. So he wouldn't eat that one, which I mean smart, like really smart. So he goes, one of my roommates tells me yesterday, Oh, by the way, I had some of your peanut butter.

He sees my visibly shocked reaction and asks what's up. So ultimately I come clean about the whole deal. He's furious and says, why the fuck would you put it back in the kitchen? That guy's a pussy. Take a little dick. Yeah. No, but I mean it's on him. Like he's the one that went into someone else's cupboard, ate someone else's peanut

butter and like serves you right, like serves you right lesson, but I'm sorry dude. Yeah. Like you guys have the strict label policy that one's on you. I remind him of the mouse situation and our policy to not have other people's labeled foods. This is the first time all year that somebody has had my labeled food and informed me after the fact. He said it was just some peanut butter on his bread.

It's not like he was taking full chicken breast from me. Doesn't matter. It's not yours. It's the principle. Yeah. It's the principle. You have this in line and it serves you fucking right. You just ate dick butter.

My house is split. Can we coin that term? Dick butter. Trademark. Literally. My house is split three to two on who's in the wrong. And it's spilling over into other aspects. Three to two.

Who's winning? I know. He doesn't say? No. Damn. I hope they're on his side because honestly, like this dude did it to himself. Yeah. We need to get over this pronto.

So I'm asking am I the asshole? They have divvied up cupboards. They're on space. It wasn't a communal cupboard. So this dude did have to go out of his way. That guy's a pussy and he's just mad that he looks like a pussy now. Yeah. So overall on the post, the like when you have an am I the asshole post, there's like this

algorithm in the comments where if you say not asshole or am I the asshole, it'll like total up the comments to give the post an overall grading. So the overall rating for this post was everyone sucks, which I totally disagree with. What does that mean? Everyone sucks. It means that the votes were so conflicting that he's not the asshole, but like he still sucks and everyone in the house sucks. Like everyone in the situation is wrong.

Oh, that's funny. I didn't know Reddit did that. Yeah. So I'm going to be honest. Like I completely disagree. Like I think he's not the asshole. Like no, he literally labeled his food. He made it an interesting label, which if I saw peanut butter dilemma, my first thought

wouldn't be to eat it. I would be like, this is a strange label. I would also, if I was him, I'd be like, I didn't even have to tell you. Actually, he probably shouldn't have told him. No, I mean, you know that it's like as long as he doesn't have STDs or something crazy, like you know that he's going to be fine. Like, yeah, it's unfortunate, but it's unfortunate. The thought of like, you know what I mean?

It's like, I'm sure that I've had waiters or waitresses in the past. I mean, I'm not sure. Pick their hair out of your food. Yeah. Or maybe did something weird with my food. Like maybe someone was having a bad day and just spit my food for no reason. And like, I didn't get sick from it. I don't, I've never known that it happened and I don't need to know.

So if a waiter called me and was like, Hey, just so you know, like 14 years ago, spent you were a kid, I spent your food. I'd be like, why fuck you? I didn't need to know that. So I think honestly, the only reason he's an asshole is for telling him. Debatable, but no, but I think it's, it's like, it's, um, it's lost prevention. He's not going to ever fucking go near his food again. True.

True. Now you've learned his fucking lesson. Exactly. And like, I think like it's hard because like for me, I'm a big, big fan of coconut oil for lube. If you don't use it already, try it out, but this is not a Jay Alvarez movie. I was trying to say like, you were all about this even before the video. Oh my God.

I've, I have been on coconut oil since 2013 on it, 2013 Jay Alvarez like has no clue. But here's the thing about the Jay Alvarez thing. If your coconut oil is not solid at room temperature, you don't want that shit. Literally go to your grocery store, Trader Joe's. What was theirs? He used like some, like it literally like pumped out of a bottle, which is like, that's the shit that gives you yeast infections and like does dirty shit. Like go to your grocery store and just get a jar of it.

But what I was going to say, I think it's kind of hard because I don't see the difference in like, if you would have just screwed that peanut butter back up and put it, like you could even put it in a Ziploc and then put it in a drawer. Screwed that peanut butter. Yeah. No pun attended. But like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't put my sex coconut oil back in the kitchen.

Like it stays in a drawer next to my bed. Right. I don't know if they have a mice problem, you know, whatever. But right. Not the asshole. I think your roommate just won't eat your food anymore. I mean, it's like, I think even then I would still be like, shut up. You're being a pussy because it's just like you're taking food.

That's not yours. Yeah. But because of the fact that they had this conversation, like we have a strict policy. We are not sharing food. Yeah. We're labeling food. This guy's the asshole. The other one is like the roommate.

Oh, for sure. Not the poster. For sure. So you go OP. You keep on that peanut butter dick. But what'd you say? Dick butter. Dick butter.

Dick butter. I actually, I would wear that on a shirt. Next one. Am I the asshole for telling my roommate he can't have a red room? Red room. Have you seen 50 Shades of Grey? I don't remember. It's like their sex room.

It's like a room that has like chains, whips. Does he pay for it? Like that own his own room? Like does he pay for two different rooms or is that his room? Cause like I feel like there's no problem with that unless it's like really loud and disturbing and that's not what you want. Then again, just go separate ways. Yeah.

So I had to put euphemism in the title. I've never read 50 Shades of Grey, but I basically understand it and it means sex room. That's what he's trying to do. I was picturing it red. So I was confused. Now I understand. No, it's a sex room. I had like a ton of red lights with like red like painting.

I was like, no, no, no. Christian Grey calls his sex room the red room. Got it. So spicy. I know. Our third roommate moved out, but we both make more money now and honestly don't want to invite a third person. My roommate wants to convert his old room into a sex haven.

This guy doesn't even get laid a lot. I've never protested him doing it in his room. Now he wants a sex room. I love that. He doesn't get laid. He doesn't need this. It won't be used frequently. It just logically does not make sense.

No, like this is a big jump. Like, especially if you like, I don't know, like I feel like maybe they're like, maybe it's where he doesn't need another person. Maybe they're like toys just for himself. No, the sex room, like especially in the books is like, there's a bed in there. You tie the person up. Like it's a sex room. It's like, you have all your toys in there.

It's just like wild. I'm picturing him like, I'm picturing. No, I'm picturing him like McLovin where he's like, yeah, it's going to happen. Like super hopeful. You remember McLovin from? Yeah. Super bad. Yes.

Yeah. He could be trying to manifest this, but also like if some boy. Infestation. Yes. But if some boy approached you at the bar and was like, hey, do you want to go back and see my red room? Depends on how rich he was. I'm just kidding.

But like if it was like 50 shades of gray guy. Yeah. I'd be like picture, but picture. Not picture. Not picture. Not picture. The apps are fucking literally not. No.

That's a murder room. Exactly. That's not a sex room. That is a murder room. No chance. They're just making it easy to kill me. I remember seeing like a tweet about that. They're like, people only like this Christian gray guy.

He's rich. Like if he wasn't like this would be a fucking crime scene. Yeah. No, this would be a murder. A murder mystery. I pictured that and I was like, that is so fucking accurate. Very accurate. So accurate.

Yeah. Anyway, so. I told him. So sad. But like, like I'm not like that, but it is, it is more for whatever reason. It doesn't make it as creepy if the person's like super, super wealthy, even though it could be even creepier. Well, and I think like very unfortunate.

I think there are things like that. Yeah. And I think that's why like certain serial killers like have had an easier time than others. Like, yeah, being an attractive looking guy, having charisma, like it makes it. Oh, it's so scary. It is. And it makes it, it makes it easier for those people to find, you know, their victims and

be that predator because they're looked at. They're not the weird dude at the bar. They're not like, and not to say like there are any weird people at the bar, but like, I mean, everything is very subjective and whatever, you know, your feelings are on someone. Like if you have a certain look and you have privilege, like, you know, there's like this benefit you have where you can be creepy and not be perceived as such. Yeah. Well, I remember seeing one time this, I think it was a tweet, but it was so fucking funny

because it was these two chicks like walking out of the mall and this guy, he's dressed in a suit and he's like, he's like leaning up against like a Corvette or like some crazy nice car. This is a YouTube channel. Yeah. And he's like, and he's like, Hey, he's like, you guys like, I'm actually a new here. Like, can you show me around?

Yeah. You want to show me around? And they're like, yeah, totally. And he goes, okay, great. This is my car over here. Yeah. And then he walks to the other side of the car and it's just like beat down like Chevy. I don't know what it is.

And they're like, no. And they're like, we have boyfriends. We have boyfriends. We have boyfriends. We have to go. And everyone's like, they're shady as fuck. But like, which is like, yes, they look really bad, but something about our minds think that like scarier.

Yeah. We think that more money means safer for whatever reason. Which is just not true. But like, and I think that's why I'm like, Oh, like a guy who has a red room, like would I be that scared of it when I'm picturing Christian Gray? Like that doesn't seem as scary because he's like Christian Gray seems like this really like, it was a fantasy though. Yeah.

This fantasy guy. But if it was anyone else, or if it was even in real life and not a book, that's true. How would you react? Oh, I would still be scared. You're right. Even if he was rich, I think I'd still be scared. Like, yeah, I would be very, very skeptical. It wouldn't be like, Hey, let me go into the red room on the first date.

Yeah. Like it would take a lot of convincing. Oh, for sure. Let me make sure that you're a normal human. Exactly. Before I jump in that room. Oh my God. Before I let you.

Oh my God. Cause you're getting tied up. That's so scary. It's so vulnerable. Imagine the first time meeting someone and like allowing them to tie me up. That's the scariest idea ever. Yeah. So that's the thing.

Hell no. The fact that this dude does. Exactly. Yeah. What is he thinking? He doesn't even have a girlfriend and he's not getting laid a lot. Oh my God. He needs like McLovin.

You need to settle down. God. I told him we weren't going to have a sex room and he told me I was being an asshole. I said that we both need to agree on what to do with the room and I didn't want it to become a sex room. He asked me if I have any better ideas and I admitted. A cat room. Don't.

No. No more cats. No. I saw a Tik Tok. I'm literally so annoying. I keep talking about Tik Toks. I've seen but where this guy made a cat room and it was the most beautiful thing ever. It was a door.

There was beds. There was levels. It was like an apartment. He had like a view. It was amazing. So no, you don't want a cat room. I don't want a cat room. All right.

Well, what are we going to make it then? So he goes on to say he said that it should at least become a sex room until I do have better ideas and he said it shouldn't even bother me because he won't be having anybody in there until quarantine is over. I asked what the point of having a sex room was then and he asked me what the point of not having one is. Oh my God. Are you living with a 15 year old horny boy?

Is he paying for like two thirds of the rent? No, they're splitting it. Why does he get to decide what the room is and why does it get to be a sex room? Like I just, his theory is so stupid. Also, have they not heard of a fucking guest bedroom? Yeah. Why is it so weird? Why does it have to be so extreme?

I don't know because they're boys and like... Oh wait. The OP is a boy. They're both guys. Oh, I was thinking it was a girl. No. They're both guys. They're both greening off in your girl voice.

I'm like, girl. Yeah, no, they're both guys. It sounds like a third roommate moved out. They now have room to afford the whole place without needing that third income. That makes it funnier. Yeah. So it's two guys arguing about a sex room and it's like the one who is like, I don't want a sex room.

It sounds like he's going to go into that sex room and fucking there too. No, you don't share a sex room. That's fucking creepy and gross and weird. That's so tacky. Exactly. Like if there was a tacky way to have a sex room, that's it. Yeah. And a lot of the comments point that out.

Oh my God. Not the asshole. I'd start by pointing out since you won't be using the sex room, he'll need to pay rent on two rooms for himself rather than just one. Yeah. Give him straight facts. Let's say that this was a room where there was two different desks and they used it as their office and one used it more than the other.

Then office, den, guest room. But he literally is not ever going to enter that room ever again. No. You can't just have a say over that. Yeah. I'd really lean on not having a sex room. It's going to be seen as weird and creepy and practically. So creepy.

Guarantees he won't get to use it. Next comment. As a single woman, if a dude I was dating tried to take me into his own version of a red room. Disgusting. I'd be out of there so fast. Oh my God. If my boyfriend had one from when I first started talking to him to even if he just decided to get one now, I would be so creeped out and disgusted.

I might break up with him. You never would have dated him. No, I would never would have dated him from the start, but like if you were to do it right now and just surprised me and thought it was like super sexy, I would probably break up with him. It's just like, I don't know. I think if you're, if you want that dynamic and if you're in on it, but if you just like surprise, I'd be like, that's weird.

Your partner needs to consent. Yeah. But even like as a single guy, like you're not Christian great. And so are you going to be able to like maintain this sexual dominant lifestyle? Like I just do it. No. Make it a guest bedroom. Like it's going to backfire.

This is McLovin. Literally, this is the real life McLovin. He's not McLovin. He's some goof. All right. Fine. He's out. Bye.

So I'll give you an option on the next one. One is about a roommate that is posting about their other roommate washing his girlfriend's period blood in a bowl in their kitchen. I'm going to throw up. So let's go with that one. No, no, no, I can't. No, I want the other one. 20 year old male and my roommate's 20 year old male.

We are debating if it is okay for him to clean his sheets stained from his girlfriend's period blood in a metal bowl in the kitchen with bleach. I am saying is absolutely not okay to clean this in the shared kitchen cooking bowl, even if it is sanitized after because I'm not okay with the fact it was bodily fluid from a significant other. He thinks it's fine because he will be cleaning slash sanitizing it like any other dish. I'm so disgusted. Why?

It's just period blood. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm just disgusted. And I even second guess, I feel bad sometimes when I'm watching Arlo, our friend's dog, and I use our bowls to have him eat out of it. And I'm always like, oh, my roommate's going to get mad. I'm considered of that.

Even though I don't care because I'm put through the dishwasher, it'll be fine. But I get worried that my roommates are going to be upset about that. I can't imagine period blood. I don't know. I think there's like, I think people take periods like way too aggressively. Like I don't think period blood is that gross. I think I do. I think everyone is a little different.

But like, do you and your boyfriend have sex when you're on your period? No. So there's the, like you look at a period as a really gross and dirty thing. That's just you. But for me, Maybe I was raised Catholic. But for me, I'm just like, it's literally just like to do a fucking body cycle. It's one week out of every month.

I'm not going to let it stop me from fucking live in my life. I am. Yeah. So for me, I'm like, he's cleaning the bowl. He's using bleach. I don't see this being a big problem. I mean, you period blood on your sheets. You period blood on underwear.

You just wash them. No, you throw them away. Sometimes. It depends. It depends on how bad the damage is. Yeah. I just wash them regardless and then you have period underwear. Why is it in a bowl?

Like what do you mean? Like he's probably like scrubbing it in a bowl. So like would you, would you put like pee in a bowl? Like would you pee in a bowl and then be like, hey guys, I'm peeing in a bowl today. If you peed your sheets and then wash them in a bowl. But okay, let's just say that you decided to pee in a bowl and then you're like, but I'm going to sanitize it. But that's not a real situation.

Well, what if it was for like an experiment? Like you were doing something for like a science class and you were like, oh, I need to use my own human urine and like put some other type of like crystals in here to like see what it does or whatever. I don't know. Would that be okay? I guess. If you're cleaning it.

What? No. Well, here's the thing. If you, where do you keep your toothbrush in a drawer? Like it kind of, it's in my mirror, the mirror that opens. So there's a lot of people that keep their toothbrushes just like in a cup on their sink. If people are shitting. Oh, you get like the particles in there.

If you're taking a shit. I remember that. My friend Emily told me that a long time ago. I never forgot it. Your poop particles fly on your toothbrush. So I mean, I think like as long as he's cleaning the bowl, like I don't really see the issue here. I think like people take periods like too aggressively and just like,

but also he's a boy. He probably doesn't know that he can just like throw them in the wash with some OxyClean, but maybe it was a really, maybe it was heavy flow. Oh, but that's why I'm disgusted. Cause I'm like, how could you just like, he's trying to get the stain out, especially letting it sit in there. Like I'm actually not sure.

It sounds like he's actively cleaning. Sounds like he's just letting it soak in a bowl next to their sink. And there's just like a bloody water, like in their sink while they're doing their fucking cooking. Oh, I'm going to throw up. No, I don't mind this one. You clean your period bowl. I can't.

I can't. Someone suggests just rinse it out in the tub. No. Also a good option. Oh, I thought you meant rinse the bowl out in the tub. I was like, we're getting farther down. It's just period blood. Not that bad.

It happens. I just can't. I can't. I don't know. Periods are normal and natural. Yeah, but like there's a lot of things that are normal and natural that I don't want in my cooking bowl. I think raw chicken is grosser than a period.

No. Yeah. Raw chicken can have salmonella. Periods are just blood. Well, and uterine tissue. I'll let you win this, but I'm disgusted. Periods happen. It isn't as gross as you're making it seem.

Yeah. You clean your bowl, your period blood. Good for him for being supportive of his girlfriend's period versus shaming her. Yeah, no, that's true. Because I went through hell. The other guy I think is like, that's really like sweet of him that he's, you know, but at the same time, like the other guy has every right to be like,

this makes me very uncomfortable. I mean, you live together if it's your shared bowl. Yeah. Just tell him, like, bring to the top. Exactly. Exactly. Don't have to be that hard. Exactly.

The thought of my sons growing up without me inspired me to quit smoking. I talked to my doctors and then I threw away all my cigarettes, ashtrays, and lighters. I started exercising instead of smoking. Staying away from alcohol when I was first quitting was key. I kept on trying, learned something each time. Do whatever it takes. No matter how many times it takes.

We did it. So can you. For free and confidential help, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit www.waytoquit.org. Developed by CDC. Okay. Last one. Am I the asshole for walking in on my roommate having sex? Um, did your dad post this?

For those of you who don't know, I live at home with my dad. But no, he's never walked in on me and my current boyfriend. No, no, not your current, but you said that he walked in on you. No, I'm talking about like when you said years ago that your dad walked in on you having sex. He did walk in on me having sex. And I still don't know if he really knew what was happening because it was so quick. He just opened the door, saw it, shut the door. Oh, I was like, what was quick?

Yeah, I mean that too. That's why he's. No, I mean my boyfriend was like on top of me. Oh, is your boyfriend? No way. It was, uh, it was, uh, it was the boy that we mentioned in our intro story. Yes. I really hope that whoever is listening to this, like actually listen to everything because

I want everyone to like, there's a lot of flow. Yeah. Yeah. No, so it was that one. I was, um, it was kind of interesting because it was kind of an ultimatum where he was dating Teresa, aka Alex. And I found out about Alex and like, I was like, well, we have this trip booked to California to go stay at my house and, you know, in California with my dad.

And he was like, okay, well, I obviously want to go to California with you. This is so crazy because like I remember when she told me about like, oh, you guys were going to go to California together. And I just, I know, I know Morgan's dad really well now. And I never knew that like it was, I just didn't know that it was like Morgan's dad's place. I don't know what I was thinking, but like it's so funny to like think back to what seven years ago and now, now.

Yeah. Or what, what was it six years ago? I don't know. No, it was 2012. Anyway, it was a long time ago. Nine years ago. Yeah. So anyways, my dad has walked in on me having sex.

My mom hasn't luckily, um, but this person walked in on their roommate having sex and they're asking if they're the asshole. I've been living with my roommate for about a year now. He's a nice fellow and we get along just fine. His girlfriend is often around and is also a very nice person. We never really had problems so far. I don't generally stay at home for long periods of time. It's essentially just a sleep, eat place for me.

I work a lot of hours and a lot of overtime. It's the nature of my job since I'm still new on my workplace and all that. Usually I get home around 10 or 11 in the evening and leave my home at eight. God, those are long ass days, dude. So yes, I work a lot and I don't really spend a lot of time there. One day I managed to receive some good graces with my boss and he told me I could go home early, around six and yes, I know it's not really early, but for me it is. I got home and I was already craving some unhealthy food in my bed.

It was Friday. So yeah, I was looking forward to it. My apartment isn't that big and our door opens into the living room. Once I pushed it open, I unwillingly saw my roommate and his girlfriend having sex in our living room on our couch. They were startled and I immediately closed the door in front of me and said through the door, go to your room. Damn. I mean, tough love, but don't be boning your girlfriend on the couch to shared space.

At least maybe put a chair in front of the door, deadlock it. Or just let them know. Put a sock on the door. Or text them and be like, hey, I'm fucking on our couch. I was going to say things are getting freaky in here. Yeah, I'm like, I... Okay. So then wait, what's his question?

So after some sounds, I hear his door close up. I opened the door and that was it. I mean, it's embarrassing to walk in on someone, but that can happen. It's not the end of the world. I went to the bathroom, had a shower and went to my room to watch Netflix and thought that was it. After a few hours, my roommate took his girlfriend home and came to talk to me. Initially, I thought he would apologize for being less than careful. However, that wasn't the case.

The dude started to get mad for him to be like, go to your room. The dude started to get mad at me for not letting them know I would be home early. He said that his girlfriend was completely ashamed and I should apologize to her. I don't think so. It's bound to happen. I don't think that he should apologize at all, but like I do understand how he felt kind of startled and it was just like for him to be like, go to your room. Like when you're like in like an intimate moment and someone's just like shaming you like, go to your room.

It feels so shameful and it feels so gross. I just picture it being like, hey, go to your room. I could see him being pissed, like being like, go to your room. This dude seems way too chill for that. Yeah, because he was like, hey, it happens. He was like, you know, it's awkward to walk in on someone having sex, but like, hey, it happens. He just seems too chill. I feel like it was like an open, oh, door shut.

Go to your room. Like, I don't know. I feel like I could see it being a little aggressive because he's kind of pissed off because it's just like you're on our communal couch, which that's the thing. Like when you have roommates, I don't know if it's just me, but like I granted maybe it's because I live at home with my dad and I wouldn't have sex on my kitchen island. But I think like when you have sex in your kitchen island or your couch or like any other weird place in your house, it's typically when you live alone. Right. I agree. Your boyfriend has a roommate.

Like you're not going to just go like have sex on the kitchen island or up against the wall in the living room. Like it's not, it's just not normal. So like, yeah, okay, he came home early, but it's like, that's also a shared space. Yeah. Are you wiping the couch off after your bare ass has been on it? Right. And that's why I think that he's not the asshole at all because it's just, that's really stupid. Yeah.

But however, I do understand how the girl probably felt so ashamed if, if she's just like trying to be all like, Probably embarrassed. Yeah. Probably being vulnerable and like, oh, I'm trying to have fun and like be like whatever. And then she feels so ashamed. Like go to your room. Like you fucking animals. You don't need me.

And like however that was, I could see your feeling like so like grossed out and being like, I never want to come over here again. Hey. And so like he was probably like, oh fuck, I hate that you feel that way. And like that like, and was like, can you please apologize to her? You know what I mean? Hey, if you can't take the heat. Stay out of the kitchen. I mean, yeah, that's true.

If you don't want to get caught. Like I think when you have sex in crazy places, you have to almost go into it with the expectation of like, oh, we could get caught. Yeah. There's always this chance. Right. Like, well, I don't know why. I think like I was my worst self when I was with this person. But I literally, we had sex like in this hockey rink one time and like it was in the locker room of this rink.

Yeah. It was this fun experience and like heightened the whole, you know, thing, whatever. But we got walked in on by someone and this was like, this is guy like Mark and he was super goofy. And it's like the last person in the world that I would want to have seen me naked would be Mark. But that was on me. Like at the end of the day, like I chose to have sex in that. Right. But like, what if Mark said to you like, get out of here?

I mean, he kind of did. He literally was like, get dressed. Guys. Like what are you doing? It's just, it's granted this is their home. It's different. Like they live there. But at the same time, like their roommate is entitled to come home whenever he wants.

Yeah, of course. So for him to them be like, dude, I think for him to an asshole, I think for him to expect that his roommate give an apology is fucking ridiculous. Out of pocket. It's just ridiculous. Out of pocket. But I do understand like how like if you were to be like, hey, I'm sorry, like that you walked in like blah, blah, blah, whatever. Like just so you know, though, like she was so embarrassed.

Like, and like the way that you responded made her feel so uncomfortable to be here. So if you could help me out and kind of just like, you know, whatever, like make her feel comfortable because she feels really ashamed. That's, that's cool. Like that's a good conversation. That makes sense. So he goes on to say, now I'm usually a very calm person, but this dude is right here telling me to apologize for getting in my home early.

While he has a perfectly good bedroom, the apartment has a very good sound isolation due to how it was constructed. So if they wanted to go wild in there, I would be none the wiser. They actively decided to do it in a place where exposition was possible. So I told him flat out, nah man, you're the idiot who tried to do something stupid while sharing an apartment. You didn't tell me you were planning on doing that. I had no way of knowing.

I'm sorry your girlfriend is ashamed, but I'm not apologizing, which I think is fair. Absolutely. It could have gone both ways. Yeah. He could have put a sock on the door. He could have put a do not disturb. He could have literally texted him and been like, Hey, like I'm getting freaky. Like whatever he wants to say.

His roommate can be like, Hey, I don't, I don't appreciate that. Like in common space, that's a different story or whatever. But like, that's something you said. That's something they have a boundary. You can set after that. Yeah. They can set that boundary. But like for him to expect an apology is crossing the line.

And he has every right to be like, absolutely not. No. There's definitely a miscommunication here. But like it's, I feel like it's on the guy that decided to have sex in his living room. Like you could all year to do. Exactly. And all you had to do is be like, Hey buddy, like granted his hours are crazy. He's working at 8 a.m. to 11.

That's exhausting. So yeah, he gets off early. He wants to come home relaxed. Yeah. And now he has to apologize for coming home early. That's fucked up. It's weird. I'm pissed off actually.

Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like this dude's just being fucking rude. Like so rude. So rude. I understand that the girl is probably feeling so ashamed and he's probably the intention is probably like, Oh, I don't want her to feel uncomfortable around here. So like,

But if that's on you for putting your girlfriend in that situation, it is, it is, but like I, I'm just feeling for the girl, but like the guy is being a dumb ass. Yeah. Things escalated from that point. There was a lot of angry remarks and things said he started to call me an asshole for not being considerate. Now, if he hadn't been such a stupid person, I wouldn't have minded apologizing to his girlfriend.

I understand it's an embarrassing situation and I don't particularly have anything against her, but he got on my nerves. Good. So I wanted to ask, am I the asshole for not taking blame? No. And that was the majority thought. He got a not the asshole approval from Reddit. Hell yeah.

Yeah. You. Sorry you're dating my roommate. Not the asshole. That's what someone said he should have said and it got 15,000 uplakes. So yeah. Yeah. Lol.

Your roommate seems like a terrible person refuses to accept that it was his fault and starts an unnecessary fight because of it. I just picture him as like such a punk. Yeah. I picture him as a total narcissist. It's all about him. I picture him as a face. I picture him as buzz.

I picture him as buzz from a, you're confused from home alone. Buzz. It's been a while. Come on. I've seen. Buzz from home alone. The Macaulay and Macalcon. Yeah.

He had the tarantula and then it was like, Oh, buzz. Your girlfriend. Woof. I am. What? We're watching this night. It's been a while. Yeah.

No, I am. I'm pretty pissed. I'm picturing him as a huge tool is what I'm trying to say. Yeah. Yeah. I mean. Sorry. Buzz.

If you live alone and have a nice, you know, space, whatever, like have sex wherever you want. If you have a shared space, come up with a thing. First of all, ask if your roommates are okay with you having sex in a space. Right. That you share when they're at home. Let's set some good boundaries, open communication, you know, whatever it is. But, um, yeah, I think like you definitely need to reach out and be like, Hey, yo, I'm

going to, I'm going to have a sex on the kitchen counter. Like is that okay? Or don't come home. Or if you have to come home, please knock five times. Right. Like come up with a system because you don't want to just like tiptoe on someone's toes. I don't remember what I said earlier, but you don't want to walk on someone's toes. Yeah.

And step on someone's toes. You don't want to strut across someone's toes. Just tap dance on someone's toes. The phrase is step on someone's toes. Yeah. You don't want to do that. And like you live together. You want your roommate situation to be happy and healthy, unlike what these people are

all going through. Yeah. Well, you're not the asshole. So you have our support. Yeah. Well, that's all we have for you. I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. And if you have any other crazy roommate stories, please send them to me, but until next time,
