A Word To The Wise | Reading Reddit Stories

- Hi, welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shayne, and today's theme is advice. We're taking questions from all the advice subreddits, and I'm joined by two people. who you should take all your advice from. - Wait. - Mr. Shayne, I have a eyelash in my eye I think. - Trevor, who has an eyelash in his eye and Chanse. - 23M. No eyelash in eye. - Trevor got his eyelash out. (all clapping) - Thank you. Thank you everyone. Sorry. - Huge moment. - I apologize very big. - Do you guys think you give good advice? - No, Shayne. - Okay.

- I feel like, I feel like I just give, like what I would do, but- - Fair. - That's not the best advice, I feel like. - Yeah, that's fair. - Yeah. - I think I give, I try to. I give like an honest effort at trying to give good advice, but you know, I'm not a perfect person. and so if something bad happens to someone. that I've given advice to, then that's not my fault. - I think that's a good point though. 'cause I think our initial views is like, you give the advice of what you would do in their situation. - [Trevor] Yeah. - But they're a different person.

- They're a different person. - So it's like, what is the best advice for them? - Yes. - Yeah, for sure. - That's when you get, like, I might give good advice to friends. because I know them so well. and I'm like, oh, I understand your kind of situation. better than just some omniscient, 'cause when you don't know the person, like these Reddit stories, it's like, well, I don't know your whole thing, but I can just tell you. - Right. - Based on my experience, what I would do. - Right. - But also it's like. if you haven't experienced the situation before, it's kind of hard. Like, if you've done something and it's like, oh, I went through that exact same thing.

like you have experienced. But I feel like people on Reddit. probably are just going on there, like, they haven't ever done anything. They're like, well, here's what you should do. - Yeah. - Yeah. - Oh, people love, like, some of the advice you see on Reddit is, like, hardcore. Like, here is the only answer. - Yeah. - It's, like, damn. You're certain. - And different, yeah. Different people can move around the world in different ways. based on their privilege and- - Yeah. Absolutely. Alright, well, let's see what advice people are looking for. - Like, I move around the world like a badass (bleep).

(Shayne laughing). - I prefer the aeroplane. - Yeah. I, I prefer boat. - Oh. - Teleporter. - It's kinda the same thing. - Yeah. (zaps). Alright. Our first advice question. This comes from the subreddit Advice, just general looking for advice. - Makes sense. - Alright. This was posted on Christmas day of last year. - Okay. - Do I tell my little brother what his.

"I Love Cream Pies" shirt really means? - No. - Is there more context? - Oh, we got audible reactions from everybody in the room. - Dude. - "My younger brother is a junior in high school. "Great grades, involved with his church, upstanding kid.". - He knows what it means. - "One of his favorite snack foods. "are Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies. "My mom knows this. "and got him a shirt that reads, 'I Love Cream Pies.'.

(both laughing). "Mind you, the Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies.". "That's C-R-E with the, like, "little apostrophe above it, M-E Pies. "The shirt says, 'I Love Cream Pies.'. "That's C-R-E-A-M.". - Mm. - Just so you know, it is not, not referencing the Little Debbie's. - What is it referencing? - I don't know. - Oh. (laughs). - "Being on the internet too much, "I know what a cream pie is, however, "my mom and my little brother have no idea what that means. "I am pretty sure it is one of those dirty shirts.

"that is pretending to be innocent, "but my poor family is too innocent to realize it. "I would hate for my little brother to be made fun of. "by his friends or for my family. "to scandalize their local church group. "On the other hand, "I would hate to ruin Christmas by pointing this out. "Do I tell my little brother. "the true meaning behind his shirt?". The true meaning of Christmas? - Yeah. (Trevor laughing). - Here's the shirt. - Dude. - It has- - Oh, it has cream pies on it. - It has, it has some cream pies on it, but it also says-. - And it has the cookie cream pies on it.

- It has the cookie cream pies on it. But it also does just say, "I Love Cream Pies" underneath it. I think it's meant to be like, oh, I'm referencing this, but I'm not. - But the cookie is there, so I think-. - The cookie's there. I think it's a shirt that arguably, like at his church and at school, the teachers or people like authorities. would not get him in trouble, but other students would definitely laugh. and make fun of it. - Okay. Watch this, I have it. I've got it, Shayne. - Okay. - I think I am good at advice now.

because this is what I would do. But I think it's really good advice for anyone. Okay, so you just go to the brother in the shirt. and they'd be like, oh, they spelled it wrong. That's all you have to do. - It's not spelled like the Little Debbie's. - That's all you have to do. - Yeah. - You don't have, you can play always the wise man. to play the part of the fool. - Oh. - All you have to do. is be like, "I think they spelled it wrong.". There's so many other things. They'll probably look it up and be like, I wonder what that means. Lead them to water.

Don't pour water down their throat. - Okay. - Or water on their face. - And what if he's like, well, I don't care if it's not spelled correctly. I love this shirt. Then you need to be like, they're referencing splooge, dude. - Yeah. (laughs). - Not splooge, Shayne. - I think what you need to do is you pull up a video. and you go, dude your shirt. I heard you love cream pies. (laughs). - Show them a cream pie. - Yeah. - Show 'em a cream pie. (laughs). - Do you know what that means? - Do you know?

- Be like, dude, me too. - Just, yeah. - Mom got you that shirt? (all laughing). - That's the problem. That's the problem is he's gonna go to high school. - [Chanse] Yeah. - And his friends are gonna be like-. - He's a junior in high school now. - He's a junior in high school. His friends are gonna be like, or his friends or not friends. Are gonna be like, your mom got you that shirt? Ha ha. - He probably won't tell them. that his mom got him the shirt. - Or he might if he doesn't realize. - And what if they think he's cool? - (laughs) This is really tough. 'cause there obviously is the plausible deniability that.

yeah, you wouldn't know what it means. I think the solution is to, if you're home for Christmas, like for the holiday, at some point he has to take the shirt off. I think you steal it and just let them-. - And burn it in front of him? - I think you steal it, get rid of it, and then you don't have to tell anyone. And then it's like, "Ah, I lost that shirt.". Or, "Oh, who knows what happened to it?". And then if Mom gets him another one, then it's like, ah, well, it's just over then. - There's also the other aspect of just like, he's gonna go try to tell his brother this. and his brother's gonna be like, "Dude, of course I (bleep) know. "Like, I wasn't gonna wear this to school.

"Like, I was just telling Mom that I liked it. "and I'm gonna pretend I don't know.". - Oh. - Did he get this shirt as a gift at this Christmas? - Yeah, it was a gift. - Oh, okay. - It was a gift for Christmas, which this is posted on Christmas day. - Okay. - So literally. - I thought he was just wearing it. - Day of, he's like, dude, my brother got a shirt that says, "I Love Cream Pies.". And I- - Ugh. - I think he'd, I'd be like, just tell him. - Now watch this. What if the mom knows? (all laughing).

- Everyone knows. and everyone's trying to figure out what to say. - Mom's like, "I'm trying to get, "I want him to get bullied.". Yeah, comments. "Honestly, yeah, explain to them the joke. "because you don't want your brother. "to have a weird interaction. "or questioned by teachers, et cetera, et cetera.". Someone said to that, "How do you even explain that. "to a brother and a mother. "with a heart of gold and a pure soul?". Someone said, "This post is low key making my entire day. "But you definitely have to tell them, "maybe wait a day or two. "But you can't let the poor kid. "suffer the way he will if he goes to school in that.". Someone said, "OP, there is a Wikipedia page about this. "I strongly suggest you pull this up on your mom's phone,

"hand it to her and say, "this is why X can't wear this shirt to school.". See, I don't know if I could tell the mom. I'd just go tell the brother and be like, just don't wear the shirt to school, like. - Let the kid wear the shirt. (Trevor laughs). - He just might get in trouble at school. - At least- - If the teachers catch him. - If he's not fast. (all laughing) - Yeah. - Ah, we just can't catch him. And once he's in a classroom, he's safe. - Yeah, it's a safe point. - That's the rules of high school.

Update. "Between your responses. "and my little brother showing off. "his 'I like Cream Pie' shirt to his grandparents, "I knew I had to talk to him about his shirt. "I did talk to my little brother late last night. "and asked him if he knew what a cream pie was. "Turns out he did know what a cream pie was, "but he didn't say anything. "because he didn't want to embarrass our clueless mother. "He showed it off to our grandparents also. "because he figured. "they would have no idea what it really meant. "My little brother said. "he didn't plan on wearing it outside of the house. "I think I'll leave the matter to rest here.".

Yeah. - That's great. - I called it. - Honestly, yeah. Unsurprising, like, resolution. - Yeah, unsurprising. - A junior in high school, a boy who's a junior in high school. - Yeah, he's like, "Dude, do you know what your shirt means?". Like, "I do.". And then he was like, "You (bleep) pervert. "You know what that means? You're gross. "Ugh, Christmas is ruined.". (Trevor laughs). - He's like, "Yeah, and Mom knows me really well.". (both laughing). - Mom's like, "I got you gifts you little perverts.". - Yeah, you little sicko.

- My little perverts. (laughs). - Little perverts. - Sequel to "Little Women," Little Pervert. - Next year at Christmas, Mom gets me a shirt that says, "I love MILFs.". (group laughing). - Holy shit. (bleep). - Oh my God. - Oh my God. Today's episode of Reddit Stories. is brought to you by Zocdoc. I know you, I know you forgot to do something. You didn't schedule your annual checkup.

Our next story comes from Relationship Advice. "I, a 35-year-old man, "was caught using AI to write wedding vows. "And my partner, a 34-year-old woman, walked out. "What to do?". - Oh, the partner walked out on the wedding? - She walked out because he was caught. writing his wedding vows with ChatGPT. - Oh no. - Yeah, no, that's- - Oh no. - That's pretty inexcusable. - That's pretty rough. - Yes. - Okay, how did he get caught mid vow?

She put it into? - He was writing his wedding vows, so she caught him writing 'em with ChatGPT. - Oh, oh, oh, oh. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. "I, a 35-year-old man, "recently had a wedding with my partner who's 34. "We've had a stable and happy relationship so far, "and I love her more than anything in the world. "The problem arose when it came to writing vows. "Don't get me wrong, I love many things about my partner, "but I couldn't figure out. "how to put them into tangible vows. "I decided to use ChatGPT. "so I can have something well written. "and expressive to share at the ceremony.

"The thing about my partner. "is that she's very confrontational and no nonsense. "If something annoys her, she immediately addresses it. "with no room for backing out. "I also know that she's expressed disdain. "for AI in the past, "but I didn't realize how far the hatred could go. "I don't know how, "but she immediately recognized that the vows were AI. "After I had finished, "she had this angry look and whispered to me, "did you use (bleep) AI to write that? "I was quiet because I couldn't believe she had noticed that. "and she was choosing to address it. "while we were on full display for everyone.".

So you're right. She caught him. - Ah! - As he was giving the vows. "She then said that I either speak from the heart. "or she walks out. "I literally couldn't get any words out. "And she kept her promise. "and walked back down the aisle, "much to all our friends' and families' confusion. "She's been ghosting me these past few days, "which is atypical for her. "and honestly giving me panic attacks. "Most people agree that calling off a marriage. "because of AI vows was an overreaction. "and that maybe it was a sign. "that our relationship would've issues, "but a few female friends have said.

"that they would've done the same. "I'm hurt and honestly just needed it. "to help make the day more special. "Is it worth fixing?". Well, OP, you wrote this post perfectly fine. unless you used ChatGPT for this. - Yeah. - So you're able to write this out. Yeah, look, if someone, I think people can often tell. and it's she's gonna tell. because it's not gonna sound like him at all. - I mean, vows are like, so they're all so different.

Like, some people's vows are literally like, I vow to do this. Some people's, like during the vows, they just talk about how much they love their partner. Like, it could be a story that they're telling. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Like, just something from the heart that expresses. And like, I understand having anxiety. of not doing a good job, but I think that, yeah, to use AI to write it versus. like just doing what you can from your heart. is that is like really not, yeah. - It's also, I'm wondering what these vows sounded like.

Like- - I know. - I can almost hear the machinery of the vows. - Yeah, it's just the problem is like, you know, it's tough, but coming from this guy, he's saying like, oh, I struggle with putting my words together. I'm like, well, it's then your vows. are not gonna sound like you. - No. - Your vows are gonna sound like some perfect-. - Yes. - Perfect encapsulating thing and it's not you. - And she wants you. - Yeah. - She could tell immediately. - That's sad. - It is sad. - Also that to call out at the wedding is drama.

- Ooh! - I love it. I'm so here for it. But it does seem a little extravagant. - Sure. - It seems a little like time and place, but if that is a call off-. - But if that's her being like, "I'm not gonna marry you because you're doing this.". - Yeah. - And also, hey, like. - I'm just- - But it is, whew. - I wonder if they've talked about AI. in other parts of their life.

- He said she does not like AI. - Oh yeah, and so he's using it on her vows. - It like the most special thing. that you write in your entire life. - Ugh. - And he has to have used, he has to like, use AI. - Oh yeah. - Because there's no way. you're not someone who's ever used ChatGPT. and then you're like, time for the vows. Guess I gotta bust it out now. - Yeah. - He probably uses it a lot. and it's become a thing in the relationship. where she doesn't like it. - Yeah. - It's also just like, I don't know from my understanding of how ChatGPT works.

is that it's an aggregator. from everyone else who uses ChatGPT. So like-. - How do you mean? What does that mean? - It's that learns from us putting stuff in it. - [Chanse] Oh yeah. - Like, it's not private information. Whatever you put into ChatGPT is now. it owns that information effectively. But it's like, so those aren't your vows. That is effectively it's a conglomeration. of what it thinks a wedding vow looks like. - Yeah. - Right? So it's not, it's just not yours. - No. - And I think that's really sad.

Write it out. Read it for a friend. - Yeah. - Have them help you. Like, have it come from the heart. But it sounds like she would've rather him. just say something on the spot. - Yeah. - Than do this. - Yeah, do it live. - I mean, like he said, like it's the most important thing. Like, this is your declaration of love, your public declaration of love to your partner. - [Shayne] Yeah. - In front of all your friends and family. - And it's almost like you don't trust yourself enough. - Yeah. - It's like, you have to trust your love. and the relationship enough to be able to speak right now. - And his thing of, you know, I use ChatGPT so I can have something well written.

and expressive to share at the ceremony. I think that's him caring more about the crowd. and how he's viewed. Then this is just between you and her really. Like, that's all it is. You're telling her, like, if you think about the basis of vows, it's like, hey, I'm just making a promise to you. Here's what I'm promising to do. It can be so simple. It does not have to be some sort of, you don't have to write poetry, man. Like, what do you think she wants to hear? Say that. - Yeah. - Comments. "I'm skeptical most people told you.

"that this is an overreaction. "Let's see the vows.". Someone responded sarcastically. as if it's ChatGPT being like, "Being with you has made me a better person, fire emoji. "And honestly that's growth. "We're killing it, fire emoji.". (Trevor laughs). Someone said, "Expressive and AI don't go together. "She was able to figure out it was AI. "because AI doesn't have the same tone as you. "You outsourced how much you care about your partner. "to a machine and you're upset she didn't like the idea. "I wanna say this is fake, "but one glance at LinkedIn proves.

"how using AI rots the brain. "and makes you incapable of critical thinking.". Someone said, "We are so cooked as a society if you think. "it's even remotely okay to use AI. "to write your wedding vows.". Yeah, I just think it loses all, it's not yours. It's just my belief on it. I'm like, cool, man. And I don't know, I think it's sad. - Yeah. - Update. - Oh. - "Okay, I screwed up. "I didn't check this post for awhile. "because I wanted more points of view.

"instead of just getting torn to shreds. "But I understand why the situation. "is worse than I thought it was. "I've been trying to contact my partner's family. "to see if I can talk to her again. "But apparently she's been staying. "out of state with her sister. "I'm gonna tell her when she gets back what I heard here. "and that I understand. "I'm also going to write new vows without AI. "and bring her favorite flowers and snacks. "I still want her to know that I love her and know her. "I will post an update when I can. "Thank you all, even if some feedback. "could have been a tad more nicely put.". This is a very recent post, so.

- Oh, how recent? - Two days ago. - Oh wow. - As of reading this. So by the time it's aired. there's probably been more updates. - It's probably been three kids on the way in. - Yeah. - Yeah. - They pump 'em out fast nowadays. Wow. Yeah, guys, don't use ChatGPT to write your vows. - No. - Don't do that. So our producers have mentioned. that there's been a lot of Reddit stories lately. of people catching their partners just using ChatGPT. or AI for just all sorts of things. Like, obviously talking to it in a way. that like now we've had the story.

of where a guy's girlfriend was cheating on him. effectively with an AI. (Chanse gasps). Like just- - What? - Talking to it romantically so much. and it's like that's a weird new territory we're in. But it's also like using ChatGPT. to form an argument that you're in with your partner. - Yes. - Yeah. - Oh my God. - It's like, no. Like, no, we're not doing this shit. - I had so many boys that I was talking to, when I'm dating and I'm like, I can tell you're texting me back with AI. - Oh. - It is so many boys.

You would be shocked. You would be absolutely gooped and gagged. because it is like, I'm like, and then when I get, even like some friends. will get in fights and I will have to be like, 'cause I know that they use AI to talk to their boys. that they're talking to or girls that they're talking to. I'll be like, you need to respond to me right now. or I'm gonna call you because I don't want you. using ChatGPT to try to communicate with me right now. - Yeah. - Yeah. - 'Cause it's not how you feel. It's not your thoughts. I'm arguing with a robot. - Yeah.

- And you're completely removing yourself. from the situation. - It's also just like, I'm of the belief that everything is a muscle. So like, your creativity, your knowhow, like how, your critical thinking, everything. So it's like, if you start outsourcing that. and just being like, it used to be like, oh, I'll just Google it instead of researching. and like, pulling out a book and learning, fine. But now it's like, oh, I need to form an argument. I'll just have ChatGPT do it. It's like, no, that's a skill. - Yeah. - Like, understanding how you think. and why you think what you think. - [Trevor] Yeah. - Is something that you work on.

And then same with like, expressing your compassion. for things like, man, like- - Yeah. - If it's so hard for you, like, write a draft, throw it out, write another, keep working on it. Like, you'll find it. But that's, like, an ability that you have to build on. And when you lose that, when you give it up, then it's not gonna grow. - Yeah. - Where is your humanity? - Yeah. - Who are you? - No, well I was gonna say I've actually, and this feels pretty insane, but I have never once opened ChatGPT. - Whoa.

- I've never put anything into ChatGPT. - I don't think I have either. - I just like, even when it was first getting popular. and people were opening it up, I was like, I don't know, maybe it's because I watched Terminator so many times, but I'm very much like, I don't wanna talk to AI. - I don't want that shit. - I don't want that shit in my home. - Something really interesting I thought about too, if I'm playing devil's advocate. Thinking about Star Wars, okay, let me get there. Thinking about their droids that they have. They're like, R2 has a personality to him.

He's a robot but he very much has a personality. and he is very much loyal. to the programming of the people that, like, he's like Team Anakin all the way. and then Team Luke all the way and so is C-3PO. And in Star Wars, I think it's "The Mandalorian,". maybe "The Book of Boba Fett.". The three episodes that are about the Mandalorian, they go into this bar and it's a droid bar. and they're like, there's like droids,

like, chilling and drinking and it's like, oh, they don't really like humans there. 'cause we just are, like, used and abused. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Sorry, I'm going on a tangent. but it's interesting thinking about people. training their AI companions to be like little droids. that follow them around without a physical form. - Yeah, it's weird. We're in the future and it's like, weirder. - We're in the future. - Weirder than we thought. - It's way weirder than we thought. - Yeah, we really like- - It's sideways. - Sci-fi underplays how much dumber it'll all be too.

- Huh? - Like, just like sci-fi, like Terminator and Star Wars and like all these things. that show us possibilities of technology. - Yeah. - Right? And you go, whoa. And it could look like all these different ways, like "Blade Runner" and all this stuff, but I'm like, what sci-fi never delves into. is how dumb some of it's gonna be. - Yeah. - Like, just how silly. - Yeah. - Some of it's gonna be, and the the uses and it's like, oh right. That's such a big part of the equation. - Yeah. - Alright. Our next story comes from Advice.

"Stupid, but I have a problem with a seagull at work.". - Classic case. - Yeah. - Where do you work? - "I'm a line cook. "I smoke by the dumpsters a few times a day. "We get seagulls in our parking lot. "It's a well-known restaurant. "It's busy and tourists are sloppy with their fries. "I also suspect the tourists are feeding the seagulls. "because it's cute even though it's very against the rules. "Regardless the gulls do not fear man or God. "They are used to people. "A few weeks back, "one of the gulls swooped down and took my cig.

"I think he thought it was a french fry. "I giggled and went about my day. "However, it's happened a few times since. "I know it's the same guy. "because he has a dark spot on his chest. "I call him the Pestilence. "I'm concerned he is now addicted to nicotine. "He's by the dumpsters at the same time. "as my breaks every single day. "This is obviously not good for him. "and I'm getting mad about him bumming off me. "because smoking is expensive. "Do I try to quit smoking? "I'll make noise and try to appear large to scare him off. "But the Pestilence is hip to my tricks.

"What should I do? "Are there sonar weapons such as a dog whistle type of thing. "that I could employ? "Sorry, this is (bleep) stupid. "I'm being bullied by a seagull. "He also stole a $10 bill from my coworker. "It's very rural so we don't have animal rescues. "and animal control just laughed when we called. "Any advice is welcome and yes, I am serious. "He sucks but I care about wildlife. "and he's probably too young to be smoking.". - Watch this. Stop smoking. - He brought that up. - Jesus. (laughs). - What if this seagull- - You just saved him.

- You want advice? - Quit smoking. - Ding! - The seagull's doing him a favor. - Yeah. - Yeah. - The seagull's kinda like Smokey the Bear. - Maybe it's kind of like, let's say the seagull is a child. - Well, I was gonna say-. - Oh, my child keeps taking my cigarette. I care about the child. Stop having cigarettes in the house. - Hmm. - See, I was thinking maybe the seagull. is more of like a spirit guide, kind of like an animal that's coming to guide him. - Yeah. - And is trying to take the cigarettes. Like, trying to put- - Guardian angel.

- Yeah. - Or let the bird smoke. - Or you know, give it more cigarettes. - Give it a vape. - Yeah. (laughs). - Give it a vape. - Start vaping. - Yeah. - Yeah. Get a really heavy vape. - Yeah. Those intense ones you have to, like, unlock and shit. - Yeah, or start smoking cigars. 'cause I wanna see a seagull smoke a cigar. - That's awesome. - That'd be sick. - That'd be cool as hell. - Tell the seagull not to inhale. You just like, puff it and keep in your mouth. - Absolutely. - Dude just start giving the seagulls Zyns. Just leaves Zyns out on the ground. - Yeah. - Yeah.

Comments. "National Geographic says seagulls. "don't like bright, scary owl faces on masks or balloons. "Obviously smoking in a mask isn't gonna work. "but I really want you to try a balloon. "It also suggested mirrors, wind chimes, "or hanging an old CD to reflect the sun.". Someone said, "I say quit smoking. "and get that seagull back on fries and off of cigs too. "Maybe you can be quit buddies. "It's so nice that you care.". Someone said, "Getting him with a Super Soaker. "or Nerf gun might help. "but you need to check bylaws in your area. "because in some, like mine, seagulls are protected.

"and you are not permitted. "to (bleep) with them in the least. "So make sure you check things out. "before you take my advice. "It won't hurt them, "but it should probably make them think twice. "about harassing you.". - Yeah, dude. You wouldn't believe the seagull bylaws in my area. - Yeah. - Shit's crazy. Those guys get away with anything. - Update. - Oh, the seagull's dead. (Trevor laughs). - A guy shot it. - A pelican ate it. - Yeah. - Now the pelican is smoking. "The Pestilence was off today due to rain.

"But I'm going to get photos and or videos. "of our gulls for y'all. "I'm off a freakish amount next week, "but I will try when I am in. "Thank y'all for the advice and for the laughs. "I've been a bit down lately. "and it's much appreciated and thanks for the awards. "But please donate to rural animal rescues instead. "We clearly need it. "Their DARE programs obviously suck. "and do also donate to a women's shelter. "If you assume I'm a man, I'm just a mess of a woman. "It's easy to get those confused. "Once again, thank y'all. "I will tell the Pestilence he has fans, but again, "he's a terrible listener and can't understand my accent.

"Have a great night and pray for me. "Even though we all know God is laughing at my misfortune.". Okay, so it's not really an update. Just a thank you to everyone. - Where's she from? - I don't know. Just somewhere rural. where there's seagulls. - She has an accent. - She has an accent. - Hmm. - Could be like, maybe it's like South Carolina, like, the ocean there. Or maybe it's like Florida or Alabama. or something like right there. - Southern shores. - Yeah, Floribama shore. - New Orleans. - Yeah. - New Orleans. - Oh yeah. - Corpus Christi. - Yeah.

- I've heard the seagulls in New Orleans love to smoke. That's what they're saying. - Yeah. - I heard they like beignets. - Beignets and they play trumpet. (group laughing). Jazz seagulls. - Don't even get 'em started on gulls. (all laughing). - Ah. - Our next advice. Whew, relationship advice. Okay. - Don't do it. Sorry. - This comes from, this comes from Relationship Advice. - [Chanse] Okay. - "Hired an escort once, but we keep meeting?".

- Well, what do you mean? - I don't know. "Hey guys, I a 29-year-old man could use some advice here. "I have been single since I was around 23. "I have little to no desire to be in a relationship. "and don't have any plans on getting married. "or having a long-term girlfriend. "I like being alone, especially due to my job. "This however, has raised questions from friends. "and family about my love life. "Especially since my younger brother. "is married and has kids. "This started in September. "when my best friend since middle school got married. "I was his best man and he offered to set me up. "with one of his fiancee's single friends.

"I had no interest in this. "and assured him I would have a date. "Not wanting to add any more complications in life, "I decided to hire an escort. "who we will call Angie, who is 27. "27-year-old woman, purely to keep up social expectations. "We came up with a backstory that she was a friend of mine. "from a car club that I'm part of. "Wedding weekend happens and overall it went great. "I had fun and from when we talked, Angie had fun too. "The weird thing is she still stayed in touch. "mainly through text.

"The first instance was about three weeks after the wedding. "when she asked me what I was doing over the weekend. "I told her I was going on a cruise, "cars, not a boat with my car club. "and she asked if she could come. "I told her I wasn't looking to hire an escort. "for a car club event, but she insisted that it was free. "and that she wasn't working. "Since then, she calls me in the evenings to talk. "and has accompanied me on outings and events. "During my job mandated therapy sessions. "I told my therapist about this. "and he said Angie may like me romantically.

"Now I'm not insecure or anything, "it's just that physically I am fit, but I'm short at 5'7.". Hey. (Trevor laughing). "And I generally have a colder. "and more stoic personality towards people. "that aren't close to me. "Angie on the other hand, is taller than me. "5'6" but 5'9" in heels, "is gorgeous and has a very bubbly personality. "So I put the idea of her liking me to bed. "So really what I'm confused about. "is why she keeps wanting to hang out for free. "Don't get me wrong, Angie is a great woman to be around, "but could this be a tactic used by escorts.

"to keep men on the line or could she be in trouble? "Any advice here would be great, guys.". - This guy's dumb as shit. (laughs). - Dude, so is she like, is her life in danger? Like, why is she talking to me? That's so funny. - This guy's dumb as rocks. (Shayne laughing). - I usually have to pay people to be around me, but she doesn't wanna be paid? - She wants to hang out for free. There's a catch, right? - Yeah. - I also understand, like, 'cause on the flip side, there's so many guys who push too hard,

don't take no for an answer, assume every woman's into them. And then there's guys who are just like, oh yeah, no, no, nobody, nobody wants to date me. - Yeah. - Like, there's just no way. It's like, yeah, she's hung out. with you multiple times since she said she likes you. Yeah, but she means as a friend. It's like just not getting the hints at all. And this seems like that type of guy. He might also be writing this. 'cause he's thinking it's romantic. but he is, like, scared to admit that he thinks that. - [Chanse] Yeah. - So he wants the internet to tell him. - I mean, from what he said, it seems like, yeah, she just wants to hang out and get to know him more.

- She wants to hang out with you. She's said that to you. - Yeah. - It's like an extreme version of can I buy you dinner. or can I buy you a drink? It's like, can I take you to a wedding? - Yeah. - I'm like, that's an incredible first date. I'm sorry, like that is like, I would love that if I don't, especially if I don't know a lot of people at the wedding. - Yeah. - I'm like, you just get to go to a wedding. Watch these people do the thing. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Eat some free food and do a dance. - It's kind of sick. - With a circle that you already know and is vetted. Like, that sounds amazing.

- Yeah. - Some comments here. "She either likes you enough to consider you a friend. "or she's genuinely interested. "From the sounds of it, you treated her with respect. "So yeah, she's probably into you. "If the feeling is mutual, then bring it up. "Worst case, she rejects you. "and you continue being friends, "so why not shoot your shot?". Someone said, "I think it has been said before, "but she is a human too. "Imagine yourself in her shoes. "and how difficult it would be to make friends, "let alone a partner or love interest. "Sounds like she is lonely and likes your company. "Sometimes we don't find what we want,

"but are sent what we need." Wow. Someone said, "Just ask her. "Tell her you understand it to be a business arrangement, "but her wanting to hang out has confused you.". That feels like the best advice. - Yeah. - Just being like, hey, you. you wanna hang out for free, like, what's? 'Cause we started off that I hired you. - Yeah. - Yeah. - We did that under a professional situation. What is this now? And what do you? Do you just wanna be friends? Like, whatever. Well, let's find out. We have an update. (Trevor gasps) - Yay! - What do we think?

- I think they're going on dates now. - Okay, yeah. - And he's not paying. I mean, he's paying for them probably 'cause-. - He's a gentleman. - Because he's a gentleman. - A gentleman. - Yeah. No, I think so. I think he seems like a mature enough guy. to probably take this advice and be like, yeah, just go like ask her. And I feel like. they've been on a couple dates and it's nice. - I'm hopeful that it's there. Or at the very least she's just like, "Oh, you just seem really cool and like, "just like a friend.". Like, that could be cool too. Update. (Trevor gasps). "So I read a lot of your comments. "about how Angie might like me.

"and I took the night to think about. "all our time spent together. "without thinking of her as an escort. "In the end, I'm sure a lot of guys can relate. "I had the realization of (bleep). "she was hinting the whole time. "And what made me realize. "was that after around December, January, "we started doing more mundane activities. "For example, I was taking my niece and nephew mini golfing. "and she wanted to come along for that.". Okay, well. - He's like, yeah. We moved in together. and we kind of started this really great life. - Yeah. - And God, and now I'm just realizing maybe she's into me.

- "Or how every other Friday. "she would come over and we'd just get high, weed, "and watch random movies and videos. "after getting the munchies, "or how for the past month or two, "she'd give me a peck on my cheek after we hung out. "I thought she was just being nice. "As for my feelings, I don't know. "I've never had a crush or romantic feelings for anyone, "so I wasn't sure what it was even supposed to feel like. "But what I am sure of is that I like having Angie around. "and when she's not, I kind of miss her I guess. "So Friday comes around and we're baked.

"and watching 'Lion King.'. "The movie gets to the part. "before the stampede that kills Mufasa. "and Angie just starts crying.". - Spoiler. - "I asked her if she's okay. "and she said that the scene always makes her sad. "Then she kind of just moved over. "and put her head on my shoulder. "The scene gets over, but she puts her blanket over me. "and stays there for the rest of the movie. "Credits roll and she doesn't move. "I kind of had a (bleep) it. "just send it moment and lightly kissed her on the head. "She kissed me and things kind of escalated from there. "We had a long convo in the morning. "and she said that back at the wedding, "she genuinely had a good time. "and didn't feel like she was working.

"and that's why she asked to hang out again. "As we started hanging out, she started developing feelings. "since I kind of just treated her as I would anyone else. "I didn't think this was a big deal, but for her it was. "And a lot of things that I did. "that I saw as common courtesy, giving her my coat, "helping her into my car, et cetera, "were acts of kindness in her eyes, "even though that's just how I was raised. "When she started working as an escort, "she lost the few friends she had. "and anytime she tried dating, "people would sexualize her. "when they found out what she did. "So outside of her few escort friends, she had no one.

"When she finished school in December. "and became a pediatric nurse, "she started reevaluating her relationships. "since she was no longer an escort. "and she felt that I was one of the few people. "that treated her kindly, even as an escort. "She wanted to continue seeing me. "I was a bit confused by what she said next, "but she said that she felt safe and calm with me, "which I didn't really grasp but accepted. "I told her that I liked her, "but due to my past and personality, "I might not be the kind of man she wants to be with. "But she shot that down immediately. "and told me I was acting stupid.

"We decided that it really-". - I love her. - Sorry, you're acting stupid. - Yeah. (laughs). - "We decided that it really wouldn't make sense. "to start over and start dating. "since we've spent the past few months together. "and we kind of just picked up where we left off. "So we pretty much became boyfriend and girlfriend that day. "The past two weeks have been really good. "While I'm still getting my bearings straight. "and processing my feelings, Angie has changed quite a bit. "She's a lot more emotional and likes being held a lot. "Like, if I'm just laying on the couch, "she'll walk in and yell huggies and lay on me. "It's a bit different for me since any sort of intimacy.

"outside of sex is completely foreign, but I do like it. "She also does a lot for me. " Like, one time she slept over. "and I had to throw on a suit for a meeting the next day. "I wake up and go in for a shower and when I come out, "not only are my shirts ironed, "but she had a pot of coffee ready and a lunch bag made. "Like, who the (bleep) does that? "A few days ago I've even met a few of her escort friends. "and guys, seriously don't judge anyone for what they do. "because her friends. "were some of the nicest people I've met. "While I used Reddit, "she turned to them for advice about me over the months. "and they were all nearly in tears.

"when they heard about us finally getting together. "I told my family and friends that I was dating Angie. "and they all laughed since they thought we had been dating. "since before the wedding. "So some of your guys' jokes, comments, "about her being my girlfriend were right I guess. "So yeah, things are great between Angie and I. "I know I got some work to do. "to transition to a relationship, "but I'm taking it one step at a time. "Angie has been really patient. "and understanding through all of it. "and even though she's told me she loves me, "she told me to only say it back. "when I'm ready and I mean it.

"But seriously, thanks for all of your guys' help with this. "I doubt things would've ended up like this. "if it wasn't for you guys.". - Okay, why can we not? I have a question. I have a question. - [Shayne] Okay. - Why can we not pay people for their emotions. or like their social ability? Like, why is it so looked down? Because of the sexual? - I don't know. - But escorts are not- - I don't know. - Hmm. - I don't know. - Because if they're really good, okay, so they say there's like, really rich men.

who are really bad at talking to people, really bad to going to social events. If you can hire a person, it's like, yeah, this is my, not like a translator, but like this is my translator. It's someone that I enjoy being with that I can be-. - This is my really cool guy that I hired. - Really cool guy. - What's up, dude? I'm a really cool guy he hired. - But it's like, oh, we're gonna have sex later is why it's-. - Probably. - That's why it's a bad thing. - It's why society has its views on it, right? Like, I don't wanna say good or bad thing, right? - Yeah. - Like, it's just like,

it's this thing that society is weird about. and it's like this legal gray area. and then it's also this just like moral thing for everyone. - Yeah. - But why? - Because so many people in that position are abused. - Absolutely. Now we blame the people, we blame the wrong people. - Yes. - Right? We get mad and we shame the people who are doing the job, not the industry and society. and the people who perpetrate stuff against them. - Yeah. - Right? Like, it's not her fault that-.

- And it gets greasy when it's like, okay, this is legal, but you're not allowed to have sex with them. You can go to the event and who's gonna monitor that. and how would you even do that? - Right, right. - But if you could do it ethically. - But what he's saying is like, hey, all these people are really cool. It's like, yeah, they're humans, man. - Yeah. - Just because-. - Yeah, they're cool people. - Yeah. Just because of the, like, the jobs people do is not all that they are. - Yes. And their job, they excel at being sociable, likable, with another person. - Yeah. - That is their whole thing. - But I also imagine.

the amount of disrespect that they deal with. - Yes. - And beyond that on a daily basis. - Yes. - He is, he sounds like an interesting man. He reminds me, he almost sounds like a (bleep). what's his name from Parks and Rec with the mustache? - Ron Swanson. - Yeah. He sounds like Ron Swanson where he's just so like, "Oh, I'm not interested in you.". And she probably was just like, "Oh hell yeah.". Like, I'm so used to guys who are like, pushy. - Yeah. - Yeah. - And he's like, "Oh, I'm really not interested in anything.". - [Chanse] Yeah. - And that must be so refreshing for her.

There's an endearing nature to this guy. - [Chanse] Yeah. - He sounds at least on a certain level, a little asexual and aromantic. But I don't know, like, it sounds like there's just a lot buried down, but it oddly sounds like it was a pair that worked out well. and it sounds like he's enjoying this. He's acknowledging like, oh, I'm okay with this. - I love it. - Which is really cool. And he's experiencing new things for the first time. - And it's so funny because it doesn't seem like, from the way he talks, it doesn't seem like it's something he would've sought out.

- No. - Like he's very clearly like, I'm not looking to be in a relationship or anything. So the way that it just like weirdly worked out. that they both kind of fell into it and it worked so well. It's like really sweet. - It's really cool. And you know, the funny thing is like, they've been hanging out for so long, they've effectively been dating for so long. What's funny is they've not had sex or do anything sexual, but I think that's this connotation she brings up of like, just because she's an escort. doesn't mean she's like some wildly sexual person maybe. - No. - Like maybe. she likes their dynamic a lot. That it's not a big thing, you know?

It's very interesting to me. I think it's a really cool story. I understand all the criticisms of these certain industries. 'cause like, yeah, people get taken advantage of. But it's like, so shaming the people who are getting taken advantage of. - Yes! - What the hell are, what the hell are you doing? - Why are we protecting the people. who are doing the bad thing? - Yeah. - And not protecting the people. who are just trying to be good at something. - Yeah. - Or doing what they frankly have no other option. - Or would they have no other option. - Which is what the case for a lot of 'em, you know?

- Yeah. - It's like she does that. 'cause that was a job. - Yeah. - That was a job she needed to do. to get through nursing school. - Yeah. - And so he's like, yeah, like she's a awesome person. It's like, yeah. I'm not surprised. She's a person. - I'm saying this also as a person who is in the world. of both sex workers and escorts. I know a good amount of both. and it's so interesting how they are so not protected, like. - Yeah. - They're not. And they're taking advantage of 'em. and then they are the ones who get the flack for it.

- I know. - Or if they post even their, what happened to them. Everyone's like, you deserve this. This happened to you because you chose this line of work. Not because and it's not like, those people did that to you. That's wrong and they should be like under, they should be held to a standard. - Yeah, no, it's kinda like. when people shame OnlyFans models. and then it's like, who's the dude who sent 'em half a million dollars? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Like, that's who's fueling that industry. - Yes. - Yeah.

- It's like, let's talk about them but we never do. - No. - So, alright, our next story, "I got posted in one of those 'Are we dating the same guy?'. "Facebook groups." - Ooh. - "So the other day my girlfriend asked me. "if I was cheating on her out of nowhere. "I said no 'cause I'm not. "and have never had a thought about doing so. "She then sent me a screenshot she got. "from a random Instagram account of a post made anonymously. "in the 'Are we dating the same guy?'. "Facebook group located in the city.

"I went to college in years ago. "The only thing it showed was a screenshot. "of an old Hinge account of mine. "I explained that it was an old account. "that I thought I deleted after I met her. "All the pictures were super old. "I even re-downloaded and logged in. "to show her there was no activity. "Anyways, after doing some digging, "we are pretty sure it was my ex-girlfriend. "since we met on Hinge. "You can't look up people on Hinge. "and if the account is inactive. "it's not even shown to others. "So there's no way someone randomly found it.

"She probably posted it after she saw some pictures of me. "and my girlfriend on Instagram. "from a vacation looking happy. "Ex is still mad about stuff I don't feel like getting into. "We think this annoyed my ex. "and she had my old account on Hinge. "and thought she could start something. "A little while later that Instagram account. "sent her another screenshot. "showing one comment saying something like, "confirmed that he has a girlfriend. "Cheaters are disgusting. "I'm not super comfortable with being posted in there. "and falsely being accused of being a cheater. "when I'm not and have never been.

"So I guess my question is, should I do anything about this? "Is there anything I can even do? "Should I message my ex something about stop harassing me? "She'll probably just deny it was her. "Any advice? "I already went back and deleted the old Hinge account.". - Hmm. - I was gonna say. the best thing you could do. is then go to Hinge and then unmatch your ex. - But the post is already there. - No, I mean just so that they see it. 'cause if they're on Hinge and they're seen, you know? - Oh, that's good. - Then they could be like, whoa, he unmatched me. So he obviously knows the bullshit I'm doing.

- It also is giving the ex attention. - Yeah. - Inadvertently. It's like this is not how you access me. - Right. - This does not flag me. This does not get my attention. This does not get my time and energy. - [Shayne] Yeah. - So my ass is report. First off report to Facebook to Meta, click those three dots and go report. Why? This is me, I don't want it here. - [Shayne] Right. - I'm pretty good about taking shit down, honestly, a lot of the time. - I never use Facebook, so I don't know, but. - Or Meta in general. - Oh.

- If that doesn't work, there's a line you can call. and you can be like- - Okay. - You can get on the phone. with a person and be like, take this down. - Cool. - Why? Like, it's harassment, it's false, it's slander, it's blah, blah, blah. There's a million words you can use. - I have a couple thoughts. One is that with Reddit it's always hard. that all we have is what OP is writing. and they're writing like, oh, I've never cheated. I never would think about it. I'm like, I have no choice but to take you at your word. - Yeah. - But what we do know. is that your girlfriend is so suspicious of you, like, so intensely suspicious. and your ex-girlfriend's starting this type of shit.

That's a tough spot to be in. I also- - Wait. Why is the girlfriend suspicious? The girlfriend is super suspicious? - His girlfriend, "The other day my girlfriend asked me. "if I was cheating on her out of nowhere. "I said no 'cause I'm not and have never had that thought.". So okay, so it's the girlfriend. is kind of buying into what the ex-girlfriend is doing, but he has an ex-girlfriend. who's trying to start shit. - Yeah. - And he says ex is still mad about stuff. I don't feel like getting into. And it's like, well, what is that stuff? - Sure. - We don't know who posted this,

but we do know according to him that it's a super old, it's super old photos. So it's not like, oh, he was recently spotted somewhere. - Yeah, yeah. - He's not, this is indicating that it's fake. - If we think about the girlfriend's perspective, let's think about it that way. Before she talks to him. I just saw a post on Facebook that it's, are we dating the same guy? And it's my boyfriend, now I'm really worried. Do I go to him? It sounds like we would all be like, yes, show him the thing and go to him.

- Yeah. - But as your partner, we're trusting them first. rather than a random source on the internet. She did that. She did the right thing. - [Shayne] I think she did the right thing. - Going to the partner and saying, what is this? - [Shayne] Right. - Because this, it looks wrong. But I'm trusting us to decide what this is. - Right. - And he's like, yeah, I don't know what that is either. Now we get to work on this together. - Yeah. - It feels good to me so far. - Yeah, yeah. There's really nothing indicating anything,

it is weird whoever's doing this. - Yes. - It's weird. that they're, like, sending multiple messages. and really egging this on. - Yes. - He kind of immediately jumps to, it's my ex, but we don't know. But it would be like, who would it be? - And I mean, the question he's asking advice for is like, should he contact his ex or not, right? Or like, say something to the person? - Yeah, don't! - I feel like at that point it's like, you and your girlfriend have worked it out. If you're both on the same page of like, okay, this is clearly like, most likely my ex trying to start some shit.

'cause she's still mad at me. Like, ha ha, let's just forget about it. and move on. - Don't, don't, ugh. - Because it's not affecting them at all anymore. - Comments. "I actually had an ex do something similar. "I was about six months into dating this new girl. "and things were going great. "I posted a picture of us on a date on Instagram. "My ex commented under the video, "I didn't know you had a girlfriend. "or I wouldn't have brought you back. "to my place last weekend. "This was a total lie and I hadn't seen her. "since we broke up several weeks before. "I'd even met my current partner at the time.

"When my current girlfriend saw it, "she raised an eyebrow for, like, one second, "but we had spent both of the last two weekends. "entirely together. "So it was literally impossible. "I explained to her my ex was just salty. "and trying to cause problems for us. "and my girlfriend seemed relieved. "I blocked my ex fully on everything. "and that was the end of it. "But if my ex had picked a day when my girlfriend. "and I weren't physically together the whole time, "or I didn't otherwise have an alibi, "it definitely could have caused some damage.". I can't imagine people being so awful like that.

Someone said, "The Facebook page probably has a mod. "Just reach out to them and explain the situation. "Plus show proof. "and they'll probably ban whoever did the post. "Those pages usually have strict guidelines. "so that people don't abuse it. "unless it's run by a shitty person, LOL. "I think the Insta account sending it. "to your girlfriend is more suss though. "But I don't know how you'd look into that.". Someone said, "The 'Are we dating the same guy?' groups. "can be beneficial when appropriately utilized. "However, there are many women in them. "that seem to be addicted to chaos. "The admins are pretty impartial.

"and try to keep the pages respectful. "I would definitely have your girlfriend ask. "to join the particular group. "and reach out to the admins to explain the situation. "Just the other day, my wife showed me. "that a Hinge profile with my name. "was posted to one of those Facebook groups. "I've never had a Hinge, but frankly I'm flattered. "that I'm being used to catfish people.". Update. Catfishing is also like such a tough thing with that. It's like, well, I'm talking to this guy. It's like, well, have you met him in person. or is that really him? - Yeah. - It blows my mind sometimes people are like,

yeah, we just FaceTime and I don't really see them. They're like, it's like camera up. And I'm like, okay, that's the big, that you should see them. You should see them. - You're gonna wanna see the face. - It's a whole other thing. - You have to see them. before you go to the place that they live. if they don't live in the same place as you. - Yeah. - It's just so common knowledge. - Okay. Update. - Yeah. - "First, I'm not gonna text my ex anything. "I had similar thoughts about that. "as everyone here just wanted some other input. "No, it was not my current girlfriend that posted it.

"I confirmed with her. "that she isn't even in any of those groups. "Also, I'm not trying to say these groups are bad. "I actually think it's good that girls can let others know. "about abusive men and more. "Just sucks that I'm being accused of something I didn't do. "We are going to have her join the group. "and try to clarify in the post. "We are both going to reach out to the admins. "and see if we can get them to have the poster banned. "and possibly tell us who it was. "We are going to explain that the post. "is in a city I don't live in a very old account. "that couldn't have been active. "and that we think we know who did it.

"and the screenshots she got from that Instagram account. "I don't really have any other proof besides that. "Anything else y'all can think of that might be helpful?". And that's all we have. - Ugh. - But they did the right thing. It sounds like at the very least. the girlfriend's not buying into it. - That's good. - So they're good. But it's annoying. - I've never dealt with thankfully, like, any sort of vindictive ex situations. But one time I did have a nightmare. and in my nightmare my ex had hacked my RuneScape account.

and dropped all my shit. - That sucks. - And I literally woke up and I was like, and I like, logged into my RuneScape account. (laughs). - Wow. - Because I was so scared! And that's the one time. I was ever worried about an ex doing something. - Well, you've now told everyone your weakness. - Yeah, I changed my password. - Now everyone knows. - Changed my password. - Your weak spot. - Yeah. - I don't think I've experienced that. I get sent a good amount of photos. of people catfishing with fake accounts.

I'm like, that's not me. That's not me. - Yeah. - Damn. - Even like the TikTok videos. and it's like they did this to me and now I'm doing this. or like this text on the screen, it's like-. - Yeah, I'm like, it's embarrassing. even if your ex was really shitty and deserves it. - Yeah. - I'm like, I just am like, no, the the best thing you can do is move on. - [Chanse] Yeah. - Like, you're still talking about your ex. - Yeah. - And that's embarrassing. Like, I just am like, it's always a little embarrassing. when you're publicly- - Working through it.

- So, like, obsessed. - Yeah. - You know, it's like no, the best thing you can do is continue on with your life. - Yeah, yeah. - If you want to, you know, be a little obsessed in private. and annoyed privately like that, go ahead. Like, be upset in your room. But yeah, when you're like going in, like gotta tell my, you know, gotta tell my 998 followers. about how much I hate my ex. - Yeah. Get 'em. All right, our final story. "Told girl I've been running, now she wants to run with me. "She's a triathlete.".

- And I'm such a fragile person. - I'm just a widdle baby. - She can run faster than me. - "I, a 28-year-old male, "got myself into a George Costanza-esque situation here. "where I told this girl who's 27. "I've been talking to for a few months. "that I've been running and training. "when instead I mostly just play RuneScape and chill.". - Oh no. - Dude. - Oh no. - I've been playing so much RuneScape. - Oh no, no, no. - "I've lost a significant amount of weight. "just by cutting soda out of my life.

"and just eating healthier, so she's really bought it. "Anyway, this girl is literally. "a national triathlon competitor. "and overall athletic person. "Now she sent me a text. "saying she wants to run together Saturday. "and I have no idea how I'm gonna do this. "because she wants to run 3.6 miles together. "as her warmup for her long run. "Do I just fall and die or something?" (laughs). - Run the 3.6 miles. - Run that 3.6 miles, dude. - Do it. - Yeah. Pull it together and run it.

- No, I mean, so here's what you do. The obvious solution here is what day? What day was, is the run? Whatever the night before the run is, you just have to go get really hammered. and then you'd be like, "Hey, can we take it slow this morning? "I had so much to drink last night.". - I had so many beers. - I had so much to drink last night. Can we take it slow? Just drop the pace a little bit and then you power through. - I feel like it's just easy also just to make an excuse. and just be like, "I can't this Saturday.". - No. - And then you need to start running today. - [Trevor] Yeah. - Be prepared for next Saturday.

- I think he's gotta do it. He's gotta do, he said he's been doing it. - Do it! - He said he's been doing it. This is what you get. - Dude. - You dug your own grave, now lie in it. - That's when he shows up and he is like, "Ah, yeah, sorry if I'm a little slow. "I already ran 20 miles today.". - Yeah. - So, ah. Just more of a cool down. - Had to run here to where we're gonna run from, so. - It's more a cool down for me. I've ran like a hundred miles over the last few days, so. - But he's like, he's been talking to this girl for a few months. I think it implies like he is interested in her. He's saying he's running 'cause she's into running.

So it's like, dude, when you lie, you are in the George Costanza-esque situation where you lie. and then someone innocently kind of calls your bluff. and now, yeah, you're in a bind. He was gonna have to keep lying forever, yeah. - That's a great opportunity to build a new healthy habit. - Yeah, man. - That was born out of a lie. - You're gonna start running. - You know? - But you're gonna start at 3.6 miles. That's brutal. - Yeah. (bleep). - Comments in quotations, "I didn't say I ran far.".

OP said, "LMAO, thank you.". - I ran to the fridge to get-. - I run to the fridge. - Soda water. - To get water. - Yeah. - Not soda. - Dude, I ran from Falador all the way to Varrock. - Nice! Someone said, "It's time to start biking.". Someone said, "LOL, this made me chuckle. "Go on the run with her. "The exercise will do you good. "Maybe the two of you'll bond over this experience. "and she'll find it endearing when you tell her. "that you claimed to be a runner to impress her. "Good job on your weight loss, by the way.". Update. "While this is a real scenario.

"and actually my life right now, "I just want everyone to know. "that I'm going to harness all of high school. "slash collegiate athleticism as a wrestler. "and just jog with her until I'm gassed, ha ha. "I'm going to bed, "but I'll comb through the comments tomorrow. "and respond to the ones that help.". Well, we don't have those responses, it's just, that's it. All right. He's gonna go on the run. - That's awesome. - Yeah! - I wonder what's gonna happen. - Hey. - He's gonna get level 99 agility IRL. - This was posted back in April, so he's probably dead. He probably died on that run.

- And that's okay. - And that's okay because-. - At least he died doing what he loved. - Doing what he loved. - Yeah. - A triathlete. - (laughs) Sick. - That was awesome. - Thanks. Thanks for being here. - Thanks for having us. - I feel like I, there's, I didn't give any advice. - I don't think I gave a lot of advice either. - That's good. - That's fine. - That's good, I think. - Yeah. - I think it's better for everyone. that I didn't get any advice. - Yeah. - Thank you all for watching. You can give your advice down below on some of these stories. and let us know other themes. and subreddits you want us to cover on this show. and we'll see you next Saturday.

Bye!
