Roommates From HELL | Reading Reddit Stories

- Hello and welcome to "Smosh Reads Reddit Stories". I'm Shayne. And today's theme is roommates, which is never dramatic at all. Roommates all get along. Everyone knows that. I'm joined by two people who have been roommates. Not with each other, but with other people. - It's true. - Angela and Arasha. - I think being Smosh cast members is a hop, skip, and a jump away from being roommates. - We're basically roommates. - Yeah. No, we live at the Smosh house. - Content roommates. Yeah, we all live in this room. - Here. - Yeah, 100%.

- [Shayne] Yeah. - This is my bed. - Yeah. - Yeah, dude. For sure. How do you feel about roommates? - This to me is like-. - [Shayne] Overall general. - This is like a pretty hefty "Reddit Stories" like topic. or sub, like category, because this is like, okay, we're gonna talk open relationships. - [Shayne] Yeah. - Okay, we're gonna talk like, like, we're gonna talk that shit is like full of boundaries. and communication and a bunch of people not doing it. - Yeah. Roommates is complicated, I feel like, because like, I actually feel like I missed the concept.

of like having a bunch of friends together. all under like one roof. But then I think you get into it. and you start to think about like cleanliness. and chores and guests, and then suddenly it's not actually all that exciting. - Roommates is, it's a tough situation. Like, I think like in relationships, in romantic relationships, moving in together is the biggest step. because being like roommates-. - Yeah. - Is more challenging than almost anything else in my eyes. I only had roommates for a short period of time,

obviously before being married. But in that short period, like I've joked about it a lot, but I lived in like a back house type of situation. that was basically just a converted garage. And I'm like, while that was like shitty in so many ways, it was kind of nice to also have my separate space. - Yeah. - I had no AC, but I also didn't have to deal with so many things. But the kitchen had some drama, the fridge had a lot of drama. - Oh my god. - I kind of had to accept at a certain point,

I'm just like, I have no real estate in this fridge. - No, dude, fridges are bitches. - (beep) fridges, man. - They're such (beep). - But I will say overall, my roommates were pretty chill. I had a lot of 'em. There was a lot of people cycling in and out. I would say over the course of a year, I had maybe seven to eight roommates. - Whoa! - Whoa! - But everyone was actually surprisingly cool. There was some not cool stuff, but overall respectful. Well, we're gonna read some messy roommate stories. - I can't wait. - Messy. - This first one comes from Am I Overreacting.

"I installed a lockbox for my cheese, and now my roommate. "says I'm 'creating division in the house.'. "Am I overreacting?". (Angela laughs). - Oh. - Some cheeses, man. Gotta lock 'em away. - Truly. - Big lockbox. - Even if I lived alone, I'm like, I gotta lock this away. - A cow just could come in. - Or else I gotta stop myself. - I can't be trusted putting the cheese in the lockbox. And I'm throwing away the key. - Who's that?

- I was gonna say, that's Ratatouille's brother, right? That's your dream character. - Remy? No, what's his name? - Remy or-. - The brother. Remy's brother. - Remy's brother. - Oh, what is Remy's brother? - Anyone wants to Google it, we can get it. - [Arasha] Randy? - Randy? - Emile is his name! I can see his face now. - Leave it in. (laughs). - Okay, here we go. "Okay, so this might sound insane, but hear me out. "I, a 24-year-old man, live with two roommates. "One is a 29-year-old man, one is a 28-year-old woman. "One of them, 29-year-old man, is fine.

"The other one, 28-year-old woman, is a fridge pirate. "with sticky fingers and zero shame.". - Ew! - Damn! "I don't even think she likes half the stuff she steals. "She just eats it because it's there.". - Oh. - "The final straw was my cheese. "My mother brings me cheese. "from my home country every time she visits. "No, I can't buy it here. "I had it hidden behind the milk for safekeeping, "but I opened the fridge yesterday and it was gone. "She said, 'Oh, I didn't think it was a big deal. "'It's just cheese.'". Several question marks. "No, it's not just cheese.

"That cheese was the only joy I had left this week. "So I snapped. "I went into full chaos. "I bought a small fridge lockbox. "Yep. A plastic safe that goes inside the fridge. "Combo lock and everything. "Put my cheese, my fancy yogurt, my cold brew, "and my chocolate in there. "Labeled it 'unauthorized entry will be considered. "'an act of war.'. "She saw it and now she says I'm creating division. "in the house and being hostile and passive aggressive. "Am I, or is this what happens.

"when you push a peaceful person to the brink over dairy? "Because honestly, I'm about three bites away. "from putting air tags in my hummus.". - Okay, now we're being funny. (Arasha laughs). - This person's being a little funny. - Yeah. - Look, man, I never in my time of having roommates. considered eating anyone else's food. - Right! - I don't understand that concept. - I guess it, maybe it gets a little dicey. when there are some shared stuff, right? Like, if you are like, "Oh yeah, let's all share the eggs.

"Let's all share the milk.". - There's been discussions over condiments. - Yeah. - But if it's like, hey, if you're the one who empties it out, you have to replenish, you know? You replenish it. - It's a good rule. - There's some things that are general. But a very unique cheese, I would say cheese hits the category of, 'cause cheese also, that's tough. You don't know how expensive a cheese is. - True. - No clue. - That varies. That's like wine. - Definitely. And especially if you're finishing it. You're right. - Yeah, man. - I feel like the rule, even if you do take something,

you don't finish it. - You don't finish it. - You just hope they don't notice. - But I will say, I think, go with me on this, lockbox aside, I think it is adding tension to the house. because of it saying, "This is a declaration of war.". - Unauthorized entry will be considered an act of war. Yeah. - That's what I'm like, okay, now-. - Now I'm scared. - You are adding some crazy tension. to the house. - Is that hostile? Technically it is hostile. - Yes. - Am I saying you're in the wrong? No. But it is technically, you are discussing an act of war here.

- Like, just saying those words in a place of-. - If we were having a diplomacy meeting, I think we'd be like, "Hey, like-". - It's a lot. - What are we doing? - Like, maybe just like a little, like a picture of a little guy going, "Don't touch that.". - Yeah. - Like, that's fine. - Something cheeky in the fridge. - Yeah, like MC Hammer. Like, can't touch this. - Can't touch this. - Yeah, yeah. - You gotta respect that. - Totally. But I guess I get that people are a little territorial. over it. I wanna know how much-. - It sounded like the final straw too. - Yeah, yeah. Exactly. - [Shayne] The final string of cheese.

- Exactly. - Yeah, the final lock. - But I wanna know the specifics of it. How many conversations about specific things? - [Shayne] Sure. - And did this person know? Right? 'Cause they're saying it's just cheese, but maybe if they were alerted. - I don't like that excuse. I don't like that. - Really? - I don't like just being like, "Oh, it's just cheese.". It's like, hey, you're eating his food. - Yeah. - Like, I don't know. Once again, me personally, I never understood the concept. of grabbing other people's food, especially if you're not like friends. If you're friends and roommates, maybe that hits different territory.

- Yeah. - But this is just roommates. You're kind of strangers. I'm like, wow, that's wild. - Yeah. - Do you think the lockbox is getting enough-. - Ventilation? - Yeah, to take care of his fancy yogurt and cheese? Like, if it's a box... - How much ventilation does it need? - I don't know, but you want it to be cold. - Does cheese need a lot of ventilation? - Well, I just mean like, you're just putting like a big box-. - Well, it's a plastic box. - I imagine there's. probably holes in it. I've never heard of a fridge lockbox.

That sounds pretty cool. - It is a little harsh, but it seems like this person. was probably pushed to do that. - Yeah. - Comments. "Oh my god, I would be so upset, "especially if it is from Villa Ahumada. "Absolutely not overreacting, "especially if it has to be brought to you personally.". OP responded, "Ha ha ha, this is the one. "Yes, it's Villa Ahumada cheese.". Ultimately what the reality is is that this is not cheese. that he can get at home. This is only cheese that his mom brings him.

Look, this reminds me of the Rancho Gordo beans. - This does remind me of the beans! - Look, man. Which I won't lie. I have a pound of Rancho Gordo beans soaking. in a pot right now at home. - He's been talking about this all day. - When I get home, I'm gonna cook it. - Yeah. - It's gonna be okay. Are you all right? - I heard a noise. - What? Like in your ear? - What? (laughs). What is going on? - Okay, okay. I went to touch my hair and I swear I heard a duck quack. - What? (crew laughs).

- Like, something hit something that went (quacks). I'm just making sure there's like not a duck. - I want a duck to walk out right now. - And just be like, "Sorry, can we hold?". - Sorry. You guys are getting this riled up over cheese? How 'bout some bread, am I right? - I think we're clear. - You can continue, Shayne. There's no duck back here. - There's no duck. We're good. - Okay. - That's insane. - I literally went (quacks). Like, I heard (laughs). (everyone laughs). - Was it you?

- No, that would be psychotic. I heard it going (quacks). - I think you quacked. - I think I gotta drink more water. - Okay. - All right. - Some other comments. - [Arasha] Leave it. - Someone said, "As a dairy fiend myself, "in jail, I was the Dairy King, very reasonable reaction.". - [Arasha] Wait. - What? - Hell yeah, bro. - Sorry, you were in jail? - Hell yeah, dude! - He came back to say that? - [Shayne] Talk about roommates. - When I was in jail, I was obsessed with cheese. - They called me the Dairy King over there.

- I killed a guy. Anyways, great post. - Yeah. - Not the asshole. - When people take my cheese, I murder them. - I feel like I'm on shrooms. (everyone laughs). - We didn't even, this is our first story. - The first story. - Someone else said, "I want a fridge lockbox now. "Don't need one, but now I must have one.". Okay, update. - Cool, Marissa. (everyone laughs). - Update. - Okay. - Here we go. "Okay, I did not expect this to blow up like this.

"I'm laughing so hard. "I haven't even got the time to read all the comments. "There's too many. "However, the two big takes are, what is this cheese? "And the note is aggressive. "The cheese is asadero cheese. "It's Mexican cheese. "And yes, if you look it up, you can probably buy it online. "It is not the same though. "The one I like and get is from this small, "10,000 habitant town two hours away from my hometown. "It just has this unique taste, and it makes sense to me.

"The note is not aggressive. "It's a joke, "like, hey, I'm locking my food away from you, "but we're still cool. "However, please stop stealing. "I'm not actually gonna go to war, although it would be fun. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure we've moved on. "She's buying me lunch tomorrow, "and I'm not getting rid of my lockbox, "nor am I getting a mini fridge for my room. "I like the idea of her seeing tasty stuff in my lockbox. "and not being able to eat it." (laughs). - Is the lockbox see-through, so you can see what's in it? - Yes! - That's evil! - That's (beep) awesome. - He said he won't go to war, but that would be fun?

- He says it's fun. He says he enjoys tormenting them. - So then it should be like with a funny emoji at the end. 'cause just the words itself are pretty harsh. - Those are scary. - I could see that being devilish. If you had a lockbox, you had a bunch of roommates. and you're putting just the most delicious treat. - Just chocolate. - Just tiramisu, just like a line of like delicious like cupcakes. Like, just absolutely-. - That's evil. - And you're just in your room and you hear at night, din, ding, ding, ding, ding, er!

(everyone laughs). Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, er! (beep) shit! - And then you're hanging out with your roommates, they're just like, "That's crazy. "Hey, what's your favorite number?". (everyone laughs). Like, what if we all said our favorite numbers? - What if we just like said our favorite four numbers. in a row. - Hey, what's your birthday again? Cool, cool, cool. What year? Right, for sure. - What about your mom's birthday? (everyone laughs). - Just curious. - It's crazy you bought Dibs. Those like miniature ice cream little things. - I didn't know they had those anymore. That's crazy.

- A lockbox for the freezer. - So what's your dad's birthday? (everyone laughs). - That's so good. - Man, I didn't know they made Yoplait like with like that, like, with like a Greek yogurt. That sounds awesome. - He's like going to like visit one. of his other roommate's rooms. and he is just like, "Hey, what's up? "Oh, is that a crowbar?". It's like, "Oh, yeah.". - Oh, honestly, I found this. (everyone laughs). He brings home all these books. Hacking. Hacking locks.

Oh, I'm just studying something. - Oh, this kills me. - We did the whole "Seinfeld" version of this. - Yeah. (everyone laughs). You can't get in, Jerry. - [Angela] You can't. - I'm not letting anyone in. - I just, I mean, look at the stuff in there. - You figured out the lockbox? - I know the code. - I'm trying to figure out the, we're trying to figure out the lockbox. - Jerry, you won't get in there to her fancy yogurt. - Diane's over there just like, it's like, "Oh you guys care about this lockbox? "Oh God.". - I do wanna know more about this fancy yogurt actually. I feel like we've heard more about the cheese.

- We skipped over the fancy yogurt. Yeah. - I wanna know. - I bet it's the kids yogurt with cookies. - Gogurt. - You mean the pink yogurt? - No. - Was it Danimals? - No, I'm talking about the yogurt that you would get like-. - [Bailey] Are you talking about the YoCrunch? - YoCrunch. - YoCrunch? - YoCrunch. I'm talking YoCrunch. - YoCrunch. - Yogurt for boys! YoCrunch! - Wait, you're... Have you said this opinion on "Reddit Stories". that yogurt is pink? - I'm not getting into this, Shayne. - Bring it, bring it, bring it here. Bring it to this audience. - Not next to this one.

- Bring it. - Not next to this one. - Angela thinks yogurt is pink. All yogurt. - You think the like standard yogurt is pink? - I think most yogurt is pink. - Most yogurt is pink. - No, you said all. - Wow. It's hit every channel now.

Back to the show. This next one comes from Relationship Advice.

"Roommate calls my boyfriend our boyfriend." (laughs). (everyone laughs). - I forgot that this isn't all about fridges. (everyone laughs). - Fridge Reddit stories. - We're talking about fridges today. - To be fair-. - And today I have two fridges with me. (everyone laughs). - And they're running! We gotta catch 'em! - It is the last video. - It's the last video on a Monday. This is bad, guys. - Kill me. - This is really bad. - Am I the asshole fridge? (laughs).

- No. - Stop. - No. - Okay. "I, a 19-year-old woman, have been dating my boyfriend Will, "a 20-year-old man, for about six months now. "I have been in relationships before, "but this is definitely my first serious and healthy one. "And I'm really happy with him. "We met in our hometown, but we go to different universities. "that are about two hours apart. "However, we try to see each other whenever we can. "Maybe about every three weeks. "Usually Will will come and visit me. "because A, he has a car. "so it's cheaper/more convenient for him.

"Plus bus routes between our cities no longer exist. "since Greyhound shuttered. "B, a lot of his courses are still online only. "whereas I have in-person lectures. "And C, my house is a lot nicer than his. "Whenever he visits, he stays for four to five days, "which my roommates are okay with. "He's also very nice and helpful. "If I'm doing chores, he'll help. "or he'll help take out the trash/wash dishes/. "make me breakfast, et cetera.". - Will. - "One of my roommates, Cass, 19-year-old woman, "was dumped near the end of September, "and since then I felt like she has been weird with Will.

"A few examples. "Sometimes he'll cook for me if I'm busy at school. "or working late at the lab, "and oftentimes he'll make enough for my roommates too. "Almost every time this happens, "Cass makes comments about how he's so sweet. "and that she wishes she had someone like him. "and how her ex could never. "Will and I usually reassure her. "and say she'll definitely find someone. "who will treat her right, "but she just looks at him expectantly. "Expecting what, I don't know. "When he helps-" - Sex. - "With manly stuff like taking out the trash, "installing a hook in my room, moving heavy things,

"she always makes sure to linger around. "and comment about how strong he is. "and how I'm lucky to have such a fit partner. "Whenever he visits, we literally can't avoid her. "If we go out, Cass will ask to come with us. "My roommates and I use an app that tracks our location. "for safety reasons. "And when I go out with Will and don't tell her, "she'll usually text me asking where I'm going, "what my plans are, if I want to hang out, et cetera. "We try to stay in my room, "but if Will goes to the kitchen or something, "Cass will always happen to wander in. "We have to lock my bedroom door when we sleep.

"to make sure she doesn't come in.". (Arasha gasps). - Knock, knock. Hey, you kids in there? (crew laughs). - I brought cheese. (everyone laughs). - "I'm not much of a drinker, "but after our midterms, Cass wanted to have a little thing. "with just the roommates. "It was fun. "We drank a little and watched movies. "I'm pretty lightweight so I got sloshed pretty fast, "and at some point I was calling Will. "And when Cass found out I was calling him, "she was like, 'Is that Will?'. "And kept ripping the phone from my hands very aggressively. "She's a lot stronger than I am. "And really loudly started talking about her sex life.

"and asking him about his, "saying shit like, 'Make sure you hit it deep.'. "This is pretty in character for Cass. "who claims to enjoy making people uncomfortable. "and makes these kinds of comments for shock value. "But I felt like she should have turned it off. "around my boyfriend. "She was only tipsy at this point, not really drunk. "Overall, anytime he's nice to her, she'll say things like, "'Ha ha, it's almost like you're my boyfriend.'". - Uh-uh. - "And whenever she refers to him around me, "she'll call him our boyfriend as a joke. "But I still feel weird about it.

"Will finds this all very uncomfortable. "and tries his best to avoid Cass as best as he can. "or shut her down when she makes those comments. "I'm not sure if I should bring it up with her. "because on one hand I'm very uncomfortable, "but on the other hand, "I feel like she'll just deny everything. "or say it's all for jokes and maybe get hostile with me. "Any advice appreciated.". (Arasha sighs). Yeah, I feel like there's plenty of signs here. - Absolutely. I mean, of course she wants to date Will. We all wanna date Will. (Angela laughs). - Look, Will sounds like the best boyfriend on the planet.

- Right. He's our boyfriend. - He is our boyfriend. - He's ours, okay? But you can't have him. - [Shayne] No. - He's OP's. - I think she needs, OP needs to get a lockbox that she could put Will in. - Put your man in a lockbox. (everyone laughs). - Damn. - I kinda wanna be like, hey, OP, your roommate wants to (beep) your boyfriend. - Oh no, and she knows. - [Shayne] That's clear. - Yeah, she's aware of this. - Hey, OP, your roommate wants to (beep) your boyfriend. (everyone laughs). - She's giving her the, she's giving Cass the benefit of the doubt.

- Truly. Truly. - It's pretty clear. - Damn. - Bunch of comments here. "Next time she says that to Will, he should say, "'No, I am your name's boyfriend.'. "And when she says it to you, you should do the same. "Make it clear he is not her boyfriend. "And you have to start putting boundaries. "in other situations too. "Like, when you go out and she asks you to come, "you should say, 'No, it's a date. "'We wanna be alone.'. "And so forth and so on.". - [Arasha] Yeah. - Someone else said, "Since both of you are uncomfortable, "you should talk to her about it. "Hey, I'd like to talk to you about something.

"It makes Will and I uncomfortable. "when you make comments about him being your boyfriend. "and wanting to hang out with us all the time. "I feel like you are crossing a boundary in my relationship. "and I would like you to stop.". Lastly, someone said, "Have you talked to your other roommates about it? "If so, what do they say? "If you haven't yet, I'd bring it up with them first. "Get their opinion on it. "It'll also help later on if when you bring it up to Cass. "and she tries to turn it around on you/Will.". Which I feel like she will, right? Like, they're 19. Roommate situations like this,

like she's gonna say you're overreacting. She's also going to like make you pay for it. - Yeah. - [Shayne] When you bring it up. - That last comment actually is interesting to me. I don't know if I would loop the other roommates in. I feel like I would maybe start, maybe I'm missing some context here, but I feel like I would start. with just the clear boundary setting of being like, "No, he's my boyfriend.". Or having, you know, Will kind of communicate that too. And also being like, "Actually we were hoping to just go on a date.

"just the two of us.". And kind of start there. And then if the conversation needs to happen, then approach it, and then I feel like I would have other people for support. But for me, I don't know. I feel like this maybe seems like it's kind of. just between them. - Sure. I mean, it depends on the roommate situation. I mean, my take is I feel like a lot of roommates. will just be like, "Oh yeah, I don't know. Weird.". - That's so weird. - That's gauging the roommates that I had, but... Update. - (beep) yeah.

- Oh my god. - He is now all of their boyfriend. - Oh. You think it's going worst case scenario? - Huge orgy. Where Will hits it deep. - [Crew] Oh God. - The way that Cass likes it. What? - She's just repeating. - She's just saying what's in the story. - I'm saying what the story was. - She's just saying-. - [Shayne] She's just saying what's in the story. - I'm just saying what it was. - Guys, relax. - Okay, dying to know. - "Hey there. "A couple people were asking for an update, so here it is. "I also found out this post blew up on TikTok, "which is pretty funny.

"because Cass has a crippling TikTok addiction. "I read pretty much all the comments, "discussed stuff with Will, "and we decided that I'd try bringing it up. "with my other roommates, "and if the behavior persisted while he was here, "we'd try our best to shut the behavior down jokingly. "or by using social pressure. "To give an idea of the timeline, "I made my original post under a week. "before he was supposed to visit. "So the following things have happened before his visit. "I was alone with one of my roommates, Jen, "and I started to bring up Cass's behavior around Will. "I didn't even get a sentence in before Jen stopped me. "and said, 'I know. She's been weird.'.

"Apparently Jen and our fourth roommate, Eva, "had discussed this before, "but they weren't sure if I even noticed. "because I didn't seem to react. "Jen is definitely the closest to Cass. "We all went to high school together, "but I was only really friends with Eva at the time. "She said she brought it up privately with Cass. "after Will's last visit, "and Cass just did a thing where she talks. "and incoherently defends herself. "Eva and Jen agreed to step in. "if shit got out of hand with her. "Cass was very excited for Will's visit. "and would say stuff like, 'Oh, I can't wait to see him,'.

"or, 'Just a few more days.'. "I have a test from 7:00 to 9:00 PM on his second day here, "and apparently she talked to Jen about picking out a movie. "for the two of them to watch. "while I wrote my biochem test.". - Ew. - "She settled on 'Sinister 2' for anyone wondering.". - Okay. - I wasn't. - "Jen said that she was out of line, "but again, Cass just incoherently defends herself. "Every time she made comments like that, "my roommates and I would just silently give her a look. "and say, 'Um, okay, anyways,' and change the subject, "which seemed to at least make herself conscious.

"During his visit, "Cass was all over him as soon as he got here, "pouting and saying, 'Where's my hug?'". - No! - "Jen hugged her instead, "and we used this time to escape into my room, LOL. "Day two rolls around, and as soon as I'm out of the house, "she tries to get Will to watch the movie with her, "saying she really wants to watch it. "but doesn't think she can do it alone. "Will politely declines. "and continues playing video games in my room, "and she leaves. "Throughout the rest of the visit, I'm firm with her, "telling her she can't come on our dates,

"saying she's being weird when she makes comments. "about how hot he is or how he's our boyfriend. "Will has also done what one other commenter suggested. "and just point blank said that he's my boyfriend. "and that he'll never be hers. "At some point, he's so aggravated he stops talking to her. "or acknowledging her at all. "because he was worried he would yell at her. "I've never heard him raise his voice before this. "As time wore on, I felt like she got increasingly desperate. "for Will's attention. "This is the absolute craziest part. "Just now while I was showering, "Cass went into my room where Will is in her underwear.

"and a bathrobe, saying she knows he's playing hard to get, "but that he can't resist her. "Barf. "Will started yelling at her to get the (beep) out, "which alerted my roommates and I. "Eva and Jen dragged a tearful Cass out of my room. "She even called me a skinny bitch on her way out.". - What? - "I think they're going to drop her off. "at a friend's house tonight. "I'm just (beep) floored. "I really did not expect her to go nuclear like this, "but God damn.".

- Oh my god. - Yeah. - I really was about to just be like, okay, like it's really unfortunate, like 'cause it is just like a sad situation for Cass, right? Like, at first I feel like I kind of am giving her empathy. 'cause I'm like, that is a really tough situation. if you are really crushing on this guy who you're like, "Oh my god, he's so perfect,". and you're envious of your roommate having this experience. But she completely has crossed the line.

and done everything possible to be inappropriate, and that's where it's like, girl, we really can't make excuses for you. - She's crossed a million lines. I mean, the level of delusion too. of like picking a horror movie to wanna watch with him. - I can't watch "Sinister 2" alone. - Right. She's like, "Oh my god, I'm gonna make my move. "Like, oh my god, he wants me too. "I'm gonna seduce him, "and this is gonna be the perfect plan.". And it's just like, no. - Yeah, and like look, you can't help who you crush on.

Like, she has a crush on someone who's taken, but you can choose your actions. and go, "Oh, well I shouldn't do anything about it.". - Yes, I should be outta the house maybe when Will comes. - But she is just absolutely crossing every boundary. - There's also a thing that she did. that's a big red flag to me. and she's a, "Where's my hug" person. I don't like those people. - No! Where's my hug at, girl? - Where's my hug? I don't like it! - No, no. And that's just cringey and weird. And the other roommate had to be like, "It's right here.".

(everyone laughs). - Man, that is bold. To walk into the room in underwear and a bathrobe and go, "Hey look-". - We can't deny this tension. - To be honest, I'm sorry but it is kind of also hilarious. - Oh, it's hilarious as hell. - Where she's like, "You're obsessed with me.". (everyone laughs). And then she's like, "You're a skinny bitch!". (everyone laughs). - Crashes out immediately. - That's insane. - Look, you can't deny this. And he is like, "Please get out.". And she just goes (screams).

- Well, your girlfriend's a skinny bitch! And I love the way you take out the trash! Like, what is happening? - That's so sad. - Update number two. - (beep) yes! (beep) yes! She moved. She moved. - Cass is out. Cass is out. - Everybody moved. - "I talked with my roommates, and Jen called Cass's mom. "As pissed as I am, I'm obviously very concerned for Cass. "as even though she wasn't the most pleasant person before, "none of us could have expected. "her absolutely unhinged behavior.". - Oh no. - "Cass has gone back home with her parents now. "I haven't pried.

"so I don't know exactly what their plans are now. "or how she's doing, "but it seems like she'll be far away for a while. "as her parents came back to pick up. "almost all of her belongings. "They'll continue to pay her share of the rent. "and even left some apology pastries, "which was very nice of them. "As awful as that experience was for Will and I, "we ultimately decided not to file any kind of complaint. "or restraining order for the time being. "as her parents seem to have the situation under control. "and we didn't want to drag the issue out longer. "than it needed to be. "I hope this is the final update. "Thanks for following my story.". Wow.

- Okay, now I really feel bad for making fun of her. - Why? - It feels like she wasn't well. I just think it's a little sad. That makes me sad. - It is sad. - Yeah. But she's-. - But it's probably for the best. - Yeah, and she's fortunate that she has parents. who can pay the rest of her rent. and kind of right the situation. Like, it seems like at least she has some support. in that way. - Yeah. - Oof. - It feels like maybe she just got ahead of herself or, and then just got a little... Yeah, I don't know. - Yeah, like I feel like sometimes,

like I forget how long it had been. since she had gotten broken up with. or whatever situation she was in, but maybe it could have been. that like she was seeing the situation. completely differently. and she was kind of going down that path. and being like, oh this is the truth. and this is how I'm seeing it, and she really is like, "He wants me and we are supposed to be together". and sort of shaping that narrative. But obviously everyone on the outside was like, "No, this is what's happening in our reality. "and it's not okay.". - Yeah. - I don't know.

- Yeah. - That's hard. - But it's good she's, it's good for OP and her boyfriend. - And it's good they didn't have to like get legal with it. - It didn't have to get too bad. I mean, all it took was the boyfriend saying, "Please get out. "Like, I do not want to be with you.". - And now they know that they're faithful to each other. - Yeah. I mean, hey, it was quite a test. - And also her parents seem really understanding. 'cause like a lot of people will have. to leave a living situation for like health reasons. like really quickly. And then those roommates are like down and out.

without a payment. And it feels like they're still handling it. - Exactly, yeah. So it worked out there. - It did. Dang. That was wild. - That was wild. - Yeah. I wanna see Will. - Back to more fridge stuff. - [Shayne] Yeah. (Arasha laughs). Our next one. - Freezers. - "Am I the asshole. "for finding out I've been unknowingly paying rent. "to my husband and his mom for two years?". - What? - All right. - Why is the mom in there? - "I, a 31-year-old woman, have been married to Brian, "33-year-old man, for two years.

"Right after the wedding we moved. "into an apartment he said was a great deal. "from a family friend. "We agreed to split rent and utilities 50/50. "to keep things equal since we were starting fresh. "and wanted to avoid money fights. "So I've been sending him $700 a month. "just for the rent this whole time. "Three days ago at a barbecue, I overheard his mom talking. "about how it's nice getting rent from Brian's place. "and how smart they were to keep it in the family. "Turns out his mom owns the apartment. "and Brian's on the deed too.

"I had no idea. "He never told me, "just let me keep paying rent for two years. "like a clueless roommate. "When I confronted him, he said I never asked. "and that I'm overreacting because we weren't overpaying. "But I feel completely blindsided. "It's not just the money, it's the secrecy.". - Yes! - "I told him I won't keep paying. "until we talk about a fair setup. "Now he's acting like I'm the problem.". - What the hell? - The mom and Brian own the apartment. - [Angela] Yeah, but she's paying the monthly-. - But she's paying them rent, or she's paying them,

yeah, the mortgage. - She's paying the mortgage. - No, or is she paying the mortgage. or is it just like the place is already paid off? - We actually, we don't even know. - Right. - They could have it paid off. and she's just giving them money. - They're just making money off of the place. as he's living in it. - This is her husband. Like, no, this-. - Oh, this is a massive red flag. - No. Incredibly messy. - Holy crap. - Like, sorry, wait, that's your money combined. that you're taking. What? - And then he never told her?

She overheard it? - He's basically stealing from his wife-. - Literally. - Is what he's doing. - And the fact that he's turning around, being like, "You're overreacting that I didn't tell you. "where your money's going." - You didn't ask. You didn't ask. - Oh, I'm so sorry that I didn't say, "Wait, are you on the deed?". That was a question. that you were just supposed to come up with? - If your husband or wife buys property. and doesn't tell you, like what kind of marriage is that? - That's terrible. - And then you are financially involved but you don't know? - You are liable for that property. - And you don't (beep) know?

- For two years. - Yeah, no, that's... This is where I talk about where I'm like, this is cheating to me. Like, this is in the same realm of cheating. where it's like such disrespect. of not telling your partner something. and making huge decisions, having huge things going on, not involving them. - Which is just like, why are you married then? Like, why would you marry somebody. who you want to exploit like that? - That kind of response too. The response is almost always worse than the action itself. - True.

- When people get called out for the thing. and being like, "Well, you didn't ask.". Like, dude, (beep) you. - It's like you're cheating on me. Well, you didn't ask if I was seeing somebody else. - You piece of shit. I don't think you want a wife. I think you want a subletter. - Verdict was not the asshole. Comments. "It's not even that you didn't ask. "He said it was a family friend. "It wasn't. It was him.". - Yeah. - Someone said, "And I bet she's the only one paying rent.". OP replied, "Yeah. "He's never shown me his half of the rent going anywhere. "Starting to think I was the only one paying anything.".

- That's like so, what an awful feeling. to feel like you're the only one paying. - Someone said, "Not the asshole, "but, girl, I'd be drafting divorce papers. "in a Lisa Frank notebook. "because this is giving financial betrayal. "and mama's boy energy." - Yes. - "Like, imagine being married, paying rent, "and finding out you're the tenant. "in your own damn marriage. "This man let you roommate his investment property. "without telling you. "That's not just shady. That's premeditated.". - [Angela] Yes. - "You didn't marry a husband, "you married a landlord with benefits.". - Oof.

- [Shayne] Lastly, someone said-. - We should get her on the show, that commenter. - That was good. - Bring her on. - Damn. Someone said, "As far as I can tell, "she can claim she's been paying. "for maintenance on the home this whole time. "So that entitles her to equity in the home. "They're married, and since she's been paying this money, "she can demonstrate that it's a shared marital asset. "She should get a lawyer and get her half of the house.". - 100%. If she is paying this mortgage, she is involved in this house. and it's not just the mother anymore. - That's crazy. And it is total boy mom energy.

to just like be making this kind of partnership. and deal with your mom when you are married. - What the hell, bro? - And like not letting your partner in on it. It's just like, like it just confuses me. - She found out via the mom saying stuff too. - At a barbecue. - Yeah. - What were they serving? - [Shayne] No, this is-. - What were they serving? - I need to know. - It's a very deliberate plan. This was evil. - Yeah. - That's bad. - I hate that. - I hate him.

- I feel so bad. - I hate him. I hate him. - [Shayne] Hate him. - Brian. - There's no update on that. It was very recent, so sorry. - It's 'cause they're in a courtroom. - Hopefully. - I hope so. - They're too busy to update. - Yeah. Next story. Comes from Am I the Asshole. "Am I the asshole for telling my best friend. "she can't do her adult content at my house?". Ooh ooh ooh ooh. - We need to watch this content. (Angela laughs). - "My best friend was recently kicked out of. "where she was living and asked if she could stay with me.

"in this emergency situation. "as she had nowhere else to go right now. "I instantly said yes. "We moved all her furniture. "and bigger things into a storage unit, "and she brought a few suitcases to my place. "I'll be honest, at the time, "I really wasn't thinking about her work situation. "I knew her job was OnlyFans. "That's what she did for a living. "That's how she made her money, "and I've never judged her for that. "However, the following day after she moved in, "I took my daughter to school. "and came home to do my own work. "I work from home. "She wandered into my kitchen at like 12:00 PM. "and told me she had some videos she needed to make.

"I instantly knew what she meant by that, "and I said, 'Well, I mean are you going to be quiet. "'during these videos?'. "She laughed and said, 'No, but you're my best friend, "'so I don't mind if you hear me.'. "To which I responded with, 'I mind if I hear you. "'I'm not gonna lie, I don't feel comfortable. "'with you making those videos in my house. "'You can take your pics and stuff though, "'granted you don't do it while my daughter is home.'. "She got a little snippy and upset with me. "and told me that making custom request videos. "was how she made the majority of her money, "and she had a bunch of requests that she needed to do.

"I told her again that I don't feel comfortable. "with that specifically. "She told me to wear headphones. "I said, 'I do wear headphones. "'because I have pretty much constant work calls. "'throughout my day and I can't have you moaning. "'and screaming in the background.'. "I ended up saying, "'If you can be quiet, then you can while I'm here working. "'And again, as long as you're not doing it. "'when my daughter is home.'. "She told me she won't be able to be quiet. "because that's not what they, her clients, want. "So I told her, 'I'm sorry, girl. "'No, I can't have that.'.

"She's now a little pissed off at me. "because I'm basically stopping her from making decent coin. "while she'll be staying with me until she finds a new place. "and that she has nowhere else to go to do it. "I feel bad, "but I think my feelings and reasons are justified. "Am I the asshole?". I think it's her home. Like, that seems like a very reasonable request. Like, that's tough. Like, she's already doing so much for this friend. - Totally. - Like, it's like, hey, like I clearly very quickly.

was willing to like shelter you in this time of need, but like, no, I don't feel comfortable with this. - Totally. - Like, that's tough. That's a tough thing, you know? - It would maybe be a tad more nuanced, but there's a kid involved as well. - Yeah. - Which I think is. where it becomes a little more defined for me. - Yeah. - And it didn't seem. like she was putting too much thought into that, you know? It seemed like she was like, OP seems like there's a little bit of compromise. She's saying like,

if you can be quiet, you can take your pictures, you can do this. But she's not really being like, okay, well can we come up with a schedule. or can we, you know? - The OP's not even like judging her. - Right. - The OP is just saying, "Hey, like I don't judge you for what you do. "I just don't feel comfortable with that going on. "in my home.". - Totally. - Okay, like cool, you know? - Yeah. - It's unfortunate for her friend 'cause that's her job. - Right, so she needs some place to do it. - But then it's also like, another, like her job is being also a mother,

and your kid's in the house. You know what I mean? Like, that's like a, that's a job that takes over your house too and like-. - [Shayne] Yeah. - And that is, if she doesn't want her kid near that, I think she's allowed to. Like, to me the motherhood of it all kind of trumps it all. - Yeah. - It's really tricky. - It's tricky. - It is. - I wonder how long she's gonna be at this house. - I feel like the most accommodating you could do. is be like, "My daughter and I will be out of the house. "from this hour to this hour. "You can do it then.". - Yeah. - "But you can't do it when we're home.". Like, I feel like that's reasonable.

- I'm also confused too. 'cause it's like if she's saying, right, in her words, she's making decent coin, like there has to be some other place. that she could also invest some of that money. in order to have a private space to do that, to have the best performance possible and make more money. No? - Yeah, I mean, I don't know. We don't know how much money she has. 'Cause like my head went to like, can you not go rent like a hotel room or something. to like do this in? Like, are you making enough money that that's possible?

- Yeah. Use the storage unit. - It's also like how long, it's also like how long she's at their place. 'cause if it's like, hey, if we're talking like a week or two, it's like, hey, I'm sorry, like for this two weeks-. - Yeah, sure. - This is the situation. - Yeah. - It's months, it's like then this is not gonna work out. - Totally. - She's not gone, like, she's on work calls, so like she is talking to people on her laptop probably. Like, that's not comfortable to have. - Totally, yeah. - If that gets overheard, like what do you do?

- Right, because then that affects her job. - [Shayne] Yeah. - And it's that kind of like understanding. that I just don't think they are both having together. right now. - No, no. It's just ultimately it's her place. Like, it's her rules. - Yeah. - The verdict was not the asshole. Comments. "Not the asshole. "She needed help, and you're helping her. "She's disrespecting your house rules. "If she really makes so much coin doing it, "she can easily get a hotel room.". Someone else said, "She needs to check into a cheap motel and do her content. "She can afford it.". OP said, "She can definitely afford it. Yeah.

"I'm sure there's things she can do, "but she's being a little snippy with me. "and doesn't understand why I care.". If she can afford a hotel room or a motel room, then it's like, dude, do that. - Yeah. - Then you get to go and do it. and not worry about the person that you're living with. - I feel like that also just subtracts points. that she's being, you know, snippy about it. It's just kind of like, yeah, this person has housed you. and taken you in. Like, there has to be some sort of understanding. of like, I totally understand, like, I'm not gonna try to be in your hair.

But instead it seems like she's almost taking advantage. of that generosity. - Yeah. Someone else said, "If she has money and a job, "why couldn't she find a hotel to stay in?". OP says, "She claims she won't be able to do her videos. "in a hotel room because she'll probably get complaints. "She said she didn't think I'd care.". Okay, so you'd get complaints in a hotel, but not-. - Yeah. - So it's like she's talking about being very loud. - Yeah. - Like, if it's so loud. that you're gonna get complaints in a hotel, I mean, this is extreme.

- Yeah. It's like, then where do you go? I'm really going back to the storage unit. I'm like, nobody's in there. - Yeah, you're really, yeah. Guys use code ARASHA in your storage unit. (everyone laughs). - For the storage unit, not for the OnlyFans. - Oh yeah. - Just clear that. - It's you just going, "I just keep going back to how great storage units are. "and how we're under utilizing it.". - [Arasha] Yes. (everyone laughs). - Update. Small little update. - Oh. - She's gone. - "She finally listened. "and has booked a hotel room for the night. "just so she can go and get these requests.

"that she has built up done. "She's let her subs and clients know. "that she's not going to be taking requests. "until she's settled in a new place. "She's also just told me. "that she thinks she found a new place to rent, "and she's now starting the process of that.". Problem solved. - Done deal. - Done deal. Yeah. - [Arasha] Great. - Yeah. There you go. There you go. - And there's no links or anything? - [Shayne] No. I'm sorry. (Angela laughs). I'm sorry, dude. - Just wanna know, you know? - For sure. - Is anybody hot?

(everyone laughs). - Okay, our next story. This comes from Two Hot Takes. Shout out to Morgan over at Two Hot Takes. - Love Morgan. - "I think my roommate may be poisoning me.". - It's back to the cheese. - "I am a 25-year-old woman, and I live in Seattle. "I just moved here a few months ago from New York City. "because of my dream job, and I was so excited. "I work as a data analyst, "and I make a very comfortable living. "It felt like my life was finally all starting. "to fall into place. "The only thing I needed was a place to live.

"I looked to Facebook. "because I figured that might be the best place. "to find a roommate. "I found this girl, let's call her Kate, 26-year-old woman, "and she seemed perfect. "She said that she and her boyfriend, 29-year-old man, "were in a two bedroom apartment. "that was very spacious in a great location. "and were looking for someone to rent the room. "She said she was a seventh grade English teacher. "and her boyfriend was a physical therapist. "All her interests and hobbies seemed to align perfectly. "with mine, so I agreed to live with them. "I moved in one month after initially finding each other, "and everything started off great. "Kate and I were friendly and had good conversations.

"when we'd interact. "One day, however, I got home. "and she seemed to be in a very bad mood. "I asked her about it, "and she ignored me and walked into her room. "I didn't think anything of it, "but then I received a text from her that read, "'I know you want to (beep) my boyfriend,'. "and that's all she wrote.". - And that's all she wrote. - That's all she wrote. "I was very confused because that was completely untrue. "I have been cheated on in the past. "and know how devastating it is, "so I would never want to inflict that pain. "onto someone else. "There were more texts exchanged,

"and everything seemed to be good. "But when I saw her in person, she continued to act weird, "but I brushed it off. "The next day, however, "she began to act very nice and sweet, "even offering me a smoothie. "because she knew I was too busy in the mornings. "to make breakfast. "I accepted and went about my day. "The smoothies continued every morning, "and I just thought she was being nice. "Now I'm experiencing some symptoms, and I'm a bit scared. "My hair has started to fall out, "and my hormones have been all over the place. "I have developed some weird stomach issues, "and I get headaches all the time now.

"This is all new to me. "It may be that the move. "and all this change is affecting my health, "but it does seem to have started around. "when the smoothies did. "I don't know how to catch her and see if I'm right, "and I don't wanna seem rude. "and stop accepting the smoothies if I'm wrong. "I don't know what to do. "I need some advice.". - This is literally an episode of "Make It or Break It". Literally, she poisons her with smoothies. - Don't have the smoothies. Go to Jamba Juice. - Oh no. Did someone write out just an episode. from "Make It or Break It"? - No, 'cause they were gymnasts.

- Oh, okay. - No, 'cause they were gymnasts. - But this is where they got the idea. - And these are roommates. - They were roommates. - Shayne, no, they were gymnasts. - They were roommates. - Stop drinking the smoothies. - Just stop drinking the smoothies. Just do something else. - You take the smoothie, you go outside, you dump it out. - I think the smoothies are poison, but I don't wanna be rude. (everyone laughs). - [Arasha] Yeah. - I can't criticize her. I'm like, that's also me. - Yeah. - That would be me. - No, you take the smoothie, and then you go to a poison tester. and you say, "What is the content in here?".

- I've seen, the top comment says that. Top comment says, "Please see a doctor ASAP. "Take the smoothie with you. "Or go to the hospital. "Again, take the smoothie with you. "Please do this now, not later. "In all seriousness, the hair loss is concerning. "Hair loss accompanied by other symptoms you're describing. "all point to heavy metal poisoning. "I'd rather read an update from you. "than hear about you on one of my true crime podcasts.". - Oh my god. All because she just wants to (beep) her boyfriend? - Dude. - She's like, "All because I walked in on him. "in my underwear and bathrobe.". - In my underwear. - Hey. - This is outta control.

- That is insane. - OP responded to that, saying, "Wow, I didn't realize. "that they would be able to test it at the hospital. "That is 100% what I will do. "I also do not want be on a true crime podcast. "Thank you very much. "This is beyond helpful for me.". Holy shit, bro. - Update, update, update? - I'm going back 'cause we didn't talk much about it after. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You're right. - Patience. - This is scary. She doesn't know these people that well. She like went in suddenly one day, it's just like, just leaves texts, "I know you want to (beep) my boyfriend.".

- Yeah. - Ooh. We're seeing the flip of the other one where it was obvious. that the roommate did want to (beep) the boyfriend. - Yeah. - Now you have this suspicious... - This is the other POV. - And now it's like suddenly smoothies, but like hair falling out. - Yeah. This is like, this is what people like read and hear about. and then they're like, "Okay, I'm not doing the random roommate route anymore.". Like, this is what makes people not wanna interact. with strangers. - Maybe I won't look. on Facebook Marketplace. - Right. But also there's so many success stories, and you have normal people, but then you have situations like this.

- Side note, never really realized. that the word movie is in smoothie. - No, it's not. - No, it's not. - Smoothie is movie. - Ooh-. - Smoothie with an M. O-I-V-E. - They're literally, they're so different. - You think it's smoovie? You think smoothie is spelled S-M-O-V-. - No, I just think, I think the word smoothie is in, whoa. I think the word movie is in smoothie. - But it's not. - But it's literally not. (Angela laughs). - All right. - There's an M and there's an O, and that's about it.

- I like how we've read some unhinged stories, but the comments are all gonna be about this now. (everyone laughs). - They're gonna be like, "I see it.". - No, Angela's right. (laughs). - There was a duck there and movie is smoothie. - What? - Sorry. It's been a long day. - Yeah, yeah. - But I'm gonna focus now. - A special day today. We have filmed eight videos today. (laughs). - Yeah. - Okay, another comment said, "In addition to what everyone else has said. "about getting the smoothie and your blood tested,

"I would also suggest that you keep accepting the smoothies. "to go and then dump them in the trash. "once you're away from the house. "If she's crazy enough to try to poison you like this, "you don't want to tip her off that you're onto her. "Who knows what else she might try instead. "Also, even if the smoothie. "and your blood tests come back normal, "I would still continue accepting the smoothies to go. "and dumping them, just in case. "If nothing else, this will at least help you identify. "if they are the cause of your symptoms, "whether from poisoning or something else or not.". Lastly, someone said, "I'd do a hidden camera in the kitchen. "where she's making the smoothies.".

I think getting 'em tested, like if these smoothies have heavy metal poisoning in 'em-. - The healthcare workers will do. - Yeah. - This is wild. - These shiny silver smoothies. that she's getting. - Oh my gosh. - She's like protein, kale-. - But also at the same time start packing, right? Like, she should be on her way out anyway. - [Shayne] Yeah. - I feel like regardless of the poisoning, the text. - I'd be getting out. - [Arasha] I'd be getting out. - Oh yeah. That text happens, I'm like, "I'm gonna find new roommates.". - Yeah. - Yeah, you're right. You're right.

- Which is so interesting too. Like, that's a whole element on its own. that I feel like we can touch on is like roommates, yes, but also like living with a couple. - Oof. - I feel like so many people. have those experiences. - It's dangerous. And look, I also, I have a lot of feelings. I know she's probably in a tough situation. Moving sucks. - It's expensive, it's hard. - We don't know her financial situation. But in this situation, you think your life is on the line. You think this person, let's be clear, you think this person might be trying to kill you.

That's the situation where I'm like, you need to get out. - Yeah. - Get out for your own life. - Get out. - And sometimes in those scenarios you're like, "That couldn't be happening, could it?". - [Shayne] Sure. It sounds insane. - And that is why I am weirdly grateful for Reddit. because sometimes people will say something. and they're like, "This is just a little insane or is it?". And then everyone's like, "Go to the hospital. "Check it out.". - [Arasha] Yeah. - Look, at least remove the possibility. Here's the thing. It sounds unreal 'cause it is in normal day-to-day life, but at the end of the day, people do poison other people.

It does happen. Is it rare? Yeah. But can it happen? Yes. So you can't just say, "Oh, well this only happens in true crime podcasts.". It's like those true crime podcasts. get their content from somewhere. - Well, I also feel like it's quite rare already. that this roommate has texted you something so abrupt. - That is a full on declaration of war. - Yeah. And I feel like, again, that maybe it isn't like super rare. It's not as rare as like somebody trying to poison you.

But if it's going down that way, I don't think it is insane to draw the link. between somebody saying this crazy accusation. and then them trying to do something to hurt you. - Totally. - Update. What do we think happened? - I think there was something in the smoothie. - Oh my (beep) god. - Hair loss? There had to have been. - "Thank you to all that have expressed concerns. "for me and my safety. "I really appreciate all the advice I received as well. "I wanna keep this brief. "as this experience has been traumatic.

"I took the advice to go to the hospital and did just that. "I went to the hospital the day after posting. "and brought along the smoothie. "They told me that they were unable. "to test the smoothie at this time, "but they did give me a blood test. "as everything would still show up there. "This would also indicate what is happening in my body. "and why I might be experiencing these symptoms. "To make a long story short, "it turns out my roommate was adding some sort of creatine. "or protein powder into the smoothies. "because she wanted me to bulk up. "So I was no longer seen as desirable to her boyfriend. "I told her about what happened at the hospital.

"and she told me everything. "That is what was causing my headaches, stomach issues, "and potentially the hair loss. "because I'm apparently allergic to it. "So technically she was not poisoning me, "just trying to make me bulky.". So she just tried to make her buff. - Awesome. - "This however is not the traumatic part. "While the doctors were giving me all the blood tests, "they found that I have leukemia. "This news has been hard for me to deal with. "Now because of my new circumstances, "I'll be moving back home to be around family.

"as I go through treatment. "No, this was not at all how I expected this to turn out, "but maybe in a way it's a good thing. "I'm not really sure, "but I know I'm going to be okay in the end. "Thank you to everyone again for the support. "and concern for my wellbeing.". - Holy shit. - Yeah. I am hoping based on her comment, "but maybe in a way it's a good thing. "I'm not really sure, "but I know I'm going to be okay in the end.". - Yeah. - Hopefully that it got caught early on. I don't know. I'm not a doctor. - Yeah.

- I don't know much about leukemia. I know it's awful. Cancer's terrible. - Is that what the hair loss, all those symptoms were? - She's saying all the symptoms... So this is actually a flip and this is wild. It sounds like most of her symptoms came from the allergy. - Yeah. - But she went and got her blood test. because of what this allergy. and the smoothie was doing to her. And then it turns out she had leukemia. - Right. - That didn't have any symptoms. as far as I'm understanding from the story. - Right, right. - So this was actually all unbelievably lucky.

- Yeah. - That she went to the hospital at that time. - That she got her blood tested when she wouldn't otherwise. - Which is so wild to think about. - I don't know much about cancer, but I do know that it can really go undetected. for a long time. - I was gonna say, it takes a long-. - It doesn't necessarily cause symptoms. - It takes a long time for people in our healthcare system. to get their blood tested. Like, you need like, it takes a lot. So like her saying like, "I think I have metal,". or OP saying that I think I have metal poisoning is like,

okay, let's test your blood. - Yeah. So if this hadn't have happened, she would not have known. - It could have been like. symptoms of other things. That is wild. My heart goes out for them. Wow. - Yeah. Hope everything turned out okay. - And also like what an old '90s movie way. to sabotage someone. Like, what is this, (beep) "Mean Girls"? I just think that's so ridiculous of a way. to like sabotage someone. - Right. No, it's quite childish actually. to be like, I'm gonna make you bulk up. and that's what's gonna make my boyfriend. not attracted to you.

- It's gonna make you undesirable? That's just wrong. - No. - Yeah, she needed to move out anyways because that's still-. - I'm really happy she's outta there. - It is still technically like putting stuff in their food, not telling them, which is very much-. - Pretty illegal. - Crossing boundary. - Incredibly. - I do think it's hilarious of all the choices. It's like, ha ha, I'm making you stronger. - No, literally she's like, "I'm putting protein in your smoothies.". - You're doing what? How dare you? - Literally. Whoa. - Also like straight up, like I don't know how...

I think she thinks creatine works in ways. that creatine does not work. - Definitely. - Like, it's not gonna change you like that. In this situation, I'm glad everything worked like this. to get her there to testing her blood. - Yeah. Gosh. - Poor thing. That's hard. - Okay, our final story. Angela, you're gonna love this one. "My roommate is convinced. "that he has infinite garlic powder.". - Oh. (laughs). - I just, garlic, I-. - That was really funny.

No, but I love garlic. - Yeah, garlic's incredible. I don't know. I just, garlic, I saw garlic powder. and I was like, you're gonna probably like that. - Because she's a vampire. - Vampires hate garlic. - That's not true. That's not true. - Which is why you hate this story. - It's not true. - If anyone on the cast was a vampire-. - It'd be you, Arasha. - Thank you so much. - You're welcome. - Okay, so this story came from True Off My Chest. "I've been living with my roommate. "for a little over two years. "Early on I noticed. "that he really liked putting garlic powder. "on just about everything. "We each have our own separate bottles of garlic powder.

"His is medium sized. "and the one I buy is the size of a garlic powder you'd find. "in a restaurant kitchen. "One day I noticed that his garlic powder. "was about halfway empty. "So I decided to play a little silent prank. "Once about every week or so for the past two years. "when my roommate wasn't home, "I would put just enough garlic powder from my bottle. "into his bottle right up to about the halfway point. "so that he would never run out of garlic powder. "I also consciously store my garlic powder. "at the back of my section in our pantry. "so that he never happens to notice.

"how much garlic powder I have on hand. "Yesterday after all this time, he passingly said out loud, "'I don't understand how this garlic powder's. "'lasted so long. "'I think I have infinite garlic powder.'. "Needless to say, it took a lot to contain my composure. "But I didn't even acknowledge what he said, "even in the slightest. "Now the problem is that we both have to move out. "by mid-October. "because our landlord is selling the apartment. "and we're both going our separate ways.". - Oh no.

- "I really wanna keep this secret to myself. "because one, I'd hate to spoil the magic, "and two, I think I'd come off as pretty weird. "because who does something like that really? "But after vigorously thinking it through. "and weighing my options, "I decided that I have to tell him the truth. "and break the news to him. "about his magical bottle of garlic powder. "I'd hate for him to run out at his next apartment. "and start questioning reality itself. "So I think it'd be best. "if I just make the heartbreak quick, easy, and direct. "So yeah, wish me luck.". - Oh my gosh. (Angela laughs).

- That's a perfect prank. - Perfect prank. - Perfect prank! - So wholesome. It's like a punch up prank. - Yes. - Yeah, 'cause it's a generous prank. - Yes. - He's like, "Oh my god, I'm never losing garlic.". - I love that. - I do love pranks that are like a little bit at a time. - Yeah. - Like, I've heard of people-. - The long con. - I've heard of people doing things. where like they just slowly move someone's desk. just a little bit every day-. - Yes. - Until it's across the room. - That makes me laugh so hard. - Like, those are funny 'cause they're for one, they're harmless. - [Arasha] Yes. - But two, it's just like, especially this,

it's like, yeah, you're kind of doing, you're giving him a gift, but it's something nobody would expect. - This is so funny. - Because also garlic powder, if I'm correct, garlic powder's like really cheap too. It's just something you don't think about that much. - Totally. - And you're not expecting someone to put just a little bit. - It's sweet. - [Shayne] It's very funny. - I love like the moment he has to himself where he is like, "I think I have unlimited garlic." (laughs). - It's wholesome. - It's like an "Even Stevens" episode. - I love that it was like in passing just like, "Yeah, I think I have infinite garlic powder.".

- I love that. - Like, he believes in magic, but he's kinda like nonchalant about it. Like, "Yeah, I guess magic exists. "'cause this just doesn't run out so...". - That is so sweet. - I guess my luck. is within my garlic powder. - And meanwhile this guy's like cracking up back there. Thinks it's so funny. - It's so funny. Now they have to part ways. - I know! - And his garlic powder's gonna run out. - I know. And I love that he is taking it so seriously. He's like, "I have to go break his heart.". And the guy's gonna be like, "Oh, it's cool, man. "I can just go buy some garlic powder.". - [Angela] That's so funny.

- I think I have infinite garlic powder. and I know you wanna (beep) my boyfriend. (everyone laughs). Okay. - Update? - All right. Comments. Someone said, "Can you be my roommate next?". Someone said, "I would laugh my ass off if I was the friend. "I think it's a brilliant prank.". Someone said, "But nobody got hurt, or humiliated, "or assaulted? /sarcastic.". /S, as Spencer would say. - Kid name S.

- Kid named /s. Spencer says /s all the time. - He does? - Really? - /Gen. Have you never seen this? - I have seen him do that. - You've lost it. You've lost me. - You don't know slash... You're Gen Z, dude. - I am not. Wait, am I? - Yeah. - Yeah, you are. You must know this. - You're supposed to know. You need to know /s, dude. - No, I don't. - Or is that like millennial? I feel like it's pretty Gen Z. - If Spencer's going around saying it, it's millennial. - It's what people do on the internet to like establish. if their comment is sarcastic or serious or not.

- Ah. - /S. - /S. - Sarcasm is hard to read sometimes on the internet. - Totally. Totally. - Someone said, "Please don't tell him. "This needs to be something he occasionally mentions. "to people throughout his life. "I mean, you'll never really see it play out, "but just knowing that anytime he cooks for. "or with somebody, "he'll probably mention the time he had a magical bottle. "of garlic powder would make it all worth it to me. "It's rare that as adults we experience something. "that makes us feel like magic is real. "You have the opportunity. "to make a grown man believe in magic, "and to me that is priceless.

"Don't ruin this for him or for me for that matter.". OP said, "Oh man, this is my favorite comment. "And now you put me in a jam. "Now I don't know what to do.". This is where you can make the prank really mean. is he needs to like meet up with him eventually. He is like, "Yeah, that garlic powder eventually ran out.". It's like, "Oh, "then you must have done something really bad.". (crew laughs). Like, make him think that he made magic die out. - Or I would write a really small little note, be like, "It's been me the whole time.

"Love, Zach.". Roll it up, put it in the garlic powder, so then when it's empty- - At the very bottom? - Yeah. - Or you write Santa. (everyone laughs). Italian Santa. - Or hear me out. - It's-a from-a Santa. - Santa Claus-a. (everyone laughs). - Or hear me out, you put creatine in the garlic powder. - There you go. Make him buff. - Yes. Make him huge and hope he's allergic. - That's insane. - Cut that part. - That's insane. - Cut that part. - Cut that part.

- Okay, update. What do you think? - He told him, they cried and kissed. (crew laughs). - "Thanks for all the positive feedback. "and for the great advice. "I've been reading the comments. "and debating on what to do all day. "I finally decided that I'm going to keep a close eye. "on things when he's packing. "and try to steal his garlic powder. "so that it goes missing.". - What? - "I have to do what I can to keep the legend. "of the magical garlic powder bottle alive. "And this is the only surefire way to do that. "I hope everything goes according to plan.". - I'm fine with it. - Wait, so he's stealing it now?

- He's stealing half a bottle of garlic powder. so that the guy keeps believing in magic. - But he's given him back so much garlic powder. that I feel like they can call it even he's not stealing. - He's like, "Man, my garlic powder disappeared.". It's like, it had to find someone else. who was in need of it. - Damn. (Angela laughs). And at the beginning we heard-. - And you no longer need it. - We heard that he like loves garlic powder. on everything, right? - Yeah, he literally, truly putting it on everything. - He's one of those chefs. - On his eggs. - Okay, what I want OP to do. 'cause he is stealing his garlic powder, is he steals. He's like, "Oh, it's gone.".

Then he should just buy him another bottle and then be like, "Hey, hope this one's magical for you too.". - Yeah. - And it's not gonna be. - It's not gonna be, but, you know. - He's just like, "Here you go.". - I just love the idea of finding a buck 50 bottle. of garlic powder at Ralph's and being like, "I think it's magic.". I think it's magic. - I think this. has otherworldly powers. - Well, it sounds like. that guy needs the restaurant size garlic powder. Like, they need to just switch. - I know, man. - Gosh, this is so funny. - I love it.

- We should do something like that. - We should. That's a great prank. - Something small. - Wait, yeah, who could we get with that? - [Shayne] Ooh. I don't know. - Who uses garlic powder? - Or just like something like-. - I don't know. We gotta figure out some way. - We'll figure it out. - Yeah. - We'll think of something. - [Arasha] Okay. - I mean, hey, your next prank. needs to be just a very generous, kind prank. - What? They all are. - It'd be great if it was generous. (everyone laughs). - It would be so cool. (Angela laughs). - Come on out, Angela's mom. (everyone laughs). - All right, that is it. That's all our stories. - Yay.

- Thank you both for being here. - Thanks for having us. - Should we all move in together? - No. All right. - Yay! - Who wants smoothies? - Hey! - Just kidding. Just kidding. - That's the new pancakes. - Who wants garlic powder? - Yes. Yes. - Garlic powder smoothies. - [Arasha] Ew. - But too bad. They're in my lockbox. - Oh shit. - And what's your birthday? (everyone laughs). - That's crazy. What's your favorite number? (everyone laughs). Anyways, thank you both for being here. - [Arasha] Thank you. - Thank you for watching.
