Stories That Made Us Go "OOF" | Reading Reddit Stories

- Welcome back to Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's stories. are all about embarrassment and cringe. And I'm joined by two of the cringiest people I know. - I knew it. - You knew it was coming. - I knew it! - Yeah. You knew it was coming. I do it every time. - Well, that was cringey of you to say. - Yeah. - Ian and Arasha are here. - Two of the most embarrassing and cringey people. - Actually not being cringey. Ian had one of his most adorable moments a second ago. where he just was like, "I'm so glad we're doing this!". - I said, I'm so glad you're here. I think I said that. - It was such.

a positive sweet moment. - You have the footage. - Yeah. - We do have the footage. - We could just cut to that right now. - Hey, show it really quick. - Bah! Bah! I'm glad we're able to do this together. - Aw! - [Ian] See? - But these are not wholesome stories. - No. - These are embarrassing. They're cringe-worthy. So they're the best kind. - And I was forged in the fires. of embarrassment and cringe, so... - I think it's worse to be cringey than be embarrassing. - Well, they're kind of...

I get how they're different. - Yeah. - But they are of the same tree. - Sure, sure. I feel like cringe is subjective. Where embarrassing is, everyone can pretty much agree. when something is embarrassing. - But it's like, when you're cringing at someone, it's like, ooh. Like that gives me the ick. - You know what I sometimes think is cringey? Cringe to me is when the other person isn't embarrassed. - Oh, yeah. - I don't think things are cringey. if the person doing it is embarrassed. and they're like, oh, shoot. Then it's not, it never is as cringey to me.

- You're right. - It's when someone's confidently doing something. and it's like, oh, they're not embarrassed about this. They're going all in. That's where it's usually cringey. - Yeah. Which is actually awesome. - Because, 'cause if someone's embarrassed, I typically, I feel a little more pity. I'm like, oh, I'm sorry. - Right. - Right. - Well, we'll see what these elicit out of us. - Yeah. We'll see if they're cringey. - Our first story comes from, "Today I (bleep) up.". Today I (bleep) up by making my one night stand breakfast. - Aw.

- Doesn't seem embarrassing, that seems... - Seems wholesome. - Seems sweet. - "I got out of a bad relationship a few months ago. and only recently felt good enough. to get out of the house again. This was my first-ever boyfriend. and he turned out to be a piece of crap. So I was obviously a bit hesitant, but some old friends from high school were visiting my town. and asked if I wanted to go on a bar crawl with them, and I figured, (bleep) it. It's not like anything will happen. other than getting drunk with some pals. So why not? At the first bar, we ran into a group. of guys from my university. I had seen some of them around, but never spoke to them before.

One of my friends decides she's going to force me. 'to get out of my shell'. and drags our group over to talk with them. I'm extremely quiet, like weirdly quiet to most people, so I end up sitting in the corner of our booth. and not saying anything, just drinking and feeling awkward. Well, one of the guys in the other group, let's call him Adam, is also being weirdly quiet. So my friends and his friends who are already tipsy. decide to make things as awkward as possible. by making us play truth or dare, except we have to drink. when we don't want to answer something. There are a lot of personal/sexual questions.

neither of us want to answer. So we end up drinking quite a bit. And by the time we're done at the first bar, Adam and I are on a whole different plane of existence. from everyone else, and it turned out we had a lot in common. and he was pretty cute and we're goofing around. and laughing the whole time. I started to get butterflies in my stomach. and not just from the alcohol. Adam has my exact sense of humor. and is really sweet and kind. We wander off and start having deep, drunk conversations about feeling left out of things. and how annoying it is when people say shit like, "Can they speak?".

I tell him I'm walking home and he offers to walk with me. I know where this is going, but I'm drunk enough that I don't feel nervous. Plus, I feel like I have a genuine connection with this guy. Our friends are wolf-whistling as we leave, and instead of being embarrassed, I feel weirdly proud. So we get to my place, talk and smoke for a bit, and do the deed. I wake up earlier than him. and decide I'm going to make a nice breakfast. I wanna impress him and show him I like him. And everyone likes a good breakfast. when they have a hangover right? So I sneak outta bed and make scrambled eggs, french toast and sausage.

I prefer almond milk, so I use that for the eggs and french toast. He wakes up and tells me. I look just as cute sober. At this point, I'm convinced he's the love of my life. He sees the breakfast-". - That's all it takes. The bar is so low! - I'm like, and you're telling me. your ex was a piece of crap? - Yeah, he's like, "sausage!". (group chuckling). - "He sees the breakfast and gets excited, and I'm like, yes, my plan worked! I'm going to get to his heart through his stomach! We eat and everything goes great for a few bites. Then he makes a weird face and clears his throat.

His eyes start to widen. and he asks me if there were nuts in the bread or something. I say no, but I used almond milk. He jumps out of his chair. and says, 'Call an ambulance right now!'. I'm freaking the (bleep) out. He's wheezing and stuff and looks absolutely panicked. I ask if he has an EpiPen and he shakes his head no. So I call an ambulance. and tell them he's having an allergic reaction. and paramedics come and haul him off. This happened last weekend. I have not heard back from him. since I found his buddy and confirmed he's not dead.

I guess accidentally triggering. a severe allergic reaction does not lead to romance.'. - No, dude, that's a meet-cute. That's a story they're gonna tell their kids. - That's a "last weekend.". They're the last, that's a story. they're gonna tell their kids. - I, yeah. I think he's probably feeling embarrassed, maybe. So, that's tough though, don't get me wrong. - It's embarrassing as hell. It was an accident, she didn't know. - Right. No, of course not. - But oh my gosh. Yeah. It feels like the beginning of a romantic comedy.

- I know! And it's so sweet that they're like. so similar in personalities. and they like relate as well. in a lot of their insecurities, which by the way, so messed up for people. to ever use the sentence, "can they speak?". in front of another person! Like just pretending that they're not there. That like, totally threw me off. But it seems like they're very similar. and maybe somebody who would've gotten freaked out. by somebody making them breakfast. would've reacted differently. But it just feels like a little misfortune.

Nobody necessarily mistepped. - Totally, totally. Man, though. That is brutal. - I just would never, like, it shocks me. 'cause I'm like, yeah, I wouldn't think to check with my one night stand. if like, "Hey, by the way-" - All of them. "Like, psst, babe, wake up! Like, nuts? Allergic to that? - They're gonna think something else. If you reach over to your one night stand and say, "Nuts?". - I mean, I do say, that is my pickup line, generally.

"Ey, you like nuts? - Ey, nuts? Yeah, last night was nuts! And I can see how he didn't question it. 'Cause french toast, eggs and sausage. aren't typically, if you have a nut allergy, gonna be... But almond milk in it also makes a little bit. That makes sense. - It does. - That somebody. would substitute it. - Yeah. - Yeah. - So it's just a pure accident. - Do you put milk alternatives into your scrambies? - No. No, I don't. But french toast, I could see someone using almond milk.

- Right? - Because I use regular milk, but... - Regular milk is in. - If someone did almond milk, I'd be like, okay, cool. - Yeah, I just would never think to check with the person. - It's also tough though... - Allergies, but yeah. - I wouldn't, I wouldn't think. I would assume, maybe this is bad, I would assume if someone has a severe allergy, they would be like, "Hey!". Is they would check first. If they're a stranger. - Yeah. - Obviously if I know someone. and I know their allergies, I'm gonna make sure... - Yeah. - If you have a severe allergy and like, I'm not trying to like blame him or anything,

but if you have a severe allergy, like anaphylaxis, something like that. Most of those people do carry EpiPens. They're very expensive, but... - Yeah, I mean, I know a friend that carries his everywhere. - Right. I mean, obviously in this situation, neither of them are like wrong at all. Like, this is pure... - [Ian] Yeah. - Wild, like, like I said, romantic comedy events. - Yeah. - Yeah. So funny the way she wrote it too, like, that was last weekend, he's dead.

- I know, we don't have, I have to be forthright. We don't have an update, so... Well, they're too busy getting married. - They're too busy (bleep) now. - I really hope so. That doesn't seem too cringey to me. - So it's not, I don't think this is too bad. - Yeah. - This is more like, in the scheme of things now that he's okay, this is more like silly story, do tell people down the line. - Yeah, silly. - Comments. "Real talk, anaphylaxis is terrifying. But also real talk, that guy is way more embarrassed. about the whole thing than you,

and that's probably why he hasn't reached out.". I agree. I think she should reach out to him. Someone else said, "My husband accidentally broke my nose. on our second weekend together. I make fun of him. But for me, it's just a funny story. He didn't do it on purpose. We were roughhousing and he pushed me toward the couch. My face hit the arm.". - Roughhousing on the second date, okay! - They were really roughhousing! - Talk about nuts! - Okay! - Someone else said this. "I don't think he's avoiding her out. of anything else but embarrassment. OP should reach out.".

Someone replied to that saying, "Absolutely. Reach out to him. Tell him you owe him a non-toxic meal. Also, just a nice thing to do.". - Yeah. - I agree, this story is not cringey. because they're both embarrassed. - Right, and when you consider the personalities. that she set up, and in her original post as well, they're both like, already, like in her words, "Weirdly quiet.". So I'm sure that they... - They're similar, so her feeling is probably his feeling. - Exactly. - Mm, yeah. I think this could have a happy ending. if she reaches out. - Aw! Whoa, happy ending?

- Am I wrong? A nut-free, happy ending. - That's not a happy ending. - I think where this is going... - There's gonna be some nuts. - There's gonna be nuts, yeah! (group laughing). - Thanks for having me here guys. - All right, ladies and gentlemen. - Glad I can contribute. - Okay, our next story. This is another "Today I (bleep) up.". "Today I (bleep) up by not knowing Rachel Ray. had a dog food line.". Okay? - (snorts) Classic mistake. - Okay?

- Classic mistake. - I just learned this as well. - "Long story short, I was at my local Dollar General. and saw crate full of discounted canned goods, like 30 cents a can. The flavors sounded awesome. I was like, hell yeah! Rachel surely knows how to dish up some good food!". - Oh no! - Yes, she does! - "I always take my food to work to save money. Fast forward, it's the middle of the day. and I'm eating the Rachel Ray chicken and veggies. So proud of myself for eating lunch for 30 cents. A coworker comes into my office.

and freaks out and asks why I'm eating dog food. I had no idea, and started throwing up.". - Oh my God! - Now I have to go to work every day. while everyone makes fun of me. for eating dog food and being stupid!". - Oh my God! - "Apparently I have to just keep typing for the mods. but that is the end of the story. I threw away all the other cans, especially the beef and cheese, which unfortunately I was looking forward to.". - Ugh! - Beef and cheese? - So what's interesting is that. they were eating it and liking it. 'Cause dog food smells awful. - Oh my gosh. - I mean, I guess Rachel Ray cooks up some good dog food.

- Maybe Rachel Ray makes some good-ass dog food. - Yeah. - Well apparently not, if it's winding up the Dollar General discounted. - Oh, that looks delicious! - It's a nutrish dish! - [Arasha] Uh-uh. - I could see... - You know? I could get down on a bowl of that. Yeah. - Sure. It's giving like lean cuisine. - Maybe it's good for you? - Look, I think it's kind of a life hack. - [Shayne] Look man. - To get food for what? 30 cents? - 30 cents. - Here's the thing, I got that dog in me, so like, why don't I feed it? - We all got that dog in us. - Why don't I feed it?

- That's... It is barking for Rachel Ray dog food. - That is rough. - There it is. - Hell yeah. - That's awesome, that's awesome. - Move on. - Kiana found something out. They've actually made dog food for men. - Yes! - And I believe this. 'cause that is such a dude product. - Oh, 100%! - It's it's called, "Dawg food.". D-A-W-G food, "Human food made for the dog in you.". - Yes!

- Crafted specifically for individuals. with demanding schedules. who crave a healthy whole meal. instead of a powdered substitute. Simplify your protein intake, feed the dog. - And the first flavor is nuts! - Hold on, let me-. I got the link here, dude. I got the link. - Oh God, I'm just gonna quickly bulk order. - It must come in a can, right? - Look at that, dude. - That looks like a coffee bag. - 45 grams of protein? - I mean, I've definitely seen products similar to this, but this isn't quite the same as opening up a can. And eating it outta that.

- You have to scoop it out into a bowl and go. "arararagh!". - It's that you ate it at work in front of everyone. and then they started throwing up. when someone pointed it out. - Yeah. - It makes it extra funny. - I feel like the throwing up was uncalled for. Like, just admit it. You like dog food. - You need to to own it. Own it. You need to be like, hell yeah. I am. - Yeah! - Well, so then it becomes cringey then, right? By our logic. - You're right. Well, no, I think you would establish dominance. in a way in that sense. - I see. - You'd be an alpha dog. - It'd be like, "Oh, my coworker's fully insane.".

- So then fully commit to it, bring the dog food every day. - I cannot, I have to respect everything they do now. - Honestly, yeah. - This is what's funny about working here, is if any of us did that, we would be like, alright, where are the cameras? What bit is this? - Nobody would blink an eye. - We would not think anything of it. - No. - I wouldn't care. - So are you guys saying that we should do it. and see if anybody says anything? - I'm saying we can. I'm saying we have the ability to. and not to worry about repercussions.

Only in this workspace. - I say we do it. - Have you guys, did you guys ever eat dog food or cat food as a kid? Because I've definitely had some bites. - No, Shayne. - Come on man. Dry, dry dog food I definitely-. - Maybe you thought we were gonna come in. and be like, "Yeah, me too!". - Yeah, we all did that, right? - Yeah, no... - See Shayne-. - Definitely some dried food, I tried like one or two of those little-. - This is cringe. - As a kid? Come on, man. - No. - Don't attribute it to age.

- [Bailey] Or bacon treats? Do you-. - I never tried... - Oh, beggin' strips? Did you have beggin' strips? - [Bailey] Yes, those ones. Yeah. - Did you try that? - [Bailey] I think I tried one. - I mean, the commercials made it look so good. - I don't think I ever... - The dog is... - They looked really good as a kid. And I think I smelled them, but I think I, you smell it close enough. and you're like, actually, I know this is not gonna taste good. But the like, little tiny, like one single pellet of dry food. I definitely tried it as a kid. and I was like, oh, this is awful. - No, I never did that. - [Shayne] Wow. - But they did make beggin' strips look really good. Like the dogs in the commercials.

were always so excited for them. "There's beggin!". - Well, and you see your pets, you see how excited pets are to eat the food, and you're like, it must be good! - Right. - But then it's like, oh... - But then you remember dogs are dumb. - No, I think our, like our... Cat food, I don't think looks good. Cat food looks awful all the time. - No, yeah. - But our cats (bleep) love it. But then I remember I'm like, oh, cats aren't supposed to have like, any salt. Like salt is like, bad for them. So I'm like, oh, of course it's bad. 'Cause you guys don't know flavor. - Yeah... (crew laughing).

- Right. - You don't know the concept of flavor! - Call them out! Call his cats out! - I'm like, you guys hate salt and citrus? Get outta my face! - There's no umami in this dish! (group laughing). - Bunch of comments here. "For what it's worth, dog food isn't inherently bad for you. The main worry is food safety standards. for pet food are way more relaxed than for human food. But for higher-end dog foods, they're likely going to be human-safe.". Someone said, "They have these cute dog biscuits. that kind of look like Oreos, but one side is black and one side is off-white.

We were dog sitting for my wife's nephew. and they were out on a pantry in the corner of the room. Well, my homie Big Joe comes over. and before I can stop him, I pop my head outta the kitchen. and he goes, 'These knockoff Oreos are pretty good!'. And gets another one. I just fell out laughing and had to have my wife explain. Now if he comes over, I ask if he's a good boy and wants another cookie.". - Classic Big Joe. - "I did taste one and to be honest, it was kind of good.". (crew laughing) - Okay. - Someone else said, "But how did it taste? People are curious,

also were you just eating it outta the can. or did you heat it?". OP said, "Straight out of the can, like beeferoni.". - Girl! - Honestly, not bad. OP also said, "I would've kept going, not too bad, LOL!". - Yeah. - Oh... - Can we get some of those knockoff Oreos. for the Smosh kitchen? - Yeah! - I want to try those. - That's a really mean prank. is to just put dog food out the kitchen. - We fed Angela Cat food, so... - I forgot that, right. You're so right. We did, Angela did eat cat food.

- [Ian] Yeah, we can't... - On camera! - That was probably one of the best moments. of "Eat it or Yeet it.". - I don't think she's ever gonna live that down. - No, that's her legacy. - It already was bad, but then hearing that it was cat food, I think just made it a hundred times worse. - Her reaction is maybe the funniest reaction. I've ever seen, ever. Just a pure scream. - Yeah. (laughs) - Oh, God. - Yeah. I would never, no. - I don't think I ever ate dog food. or cat food on eat it or yeet it.

I don't think I've ever eaten any. of that on the channel. - Yeah, and thank God. - Unless I'm wrong. and someone finds a clip and I'm like, "Oh yeah, actually I did.". - Oh. - Which maybe I did. - I don't think I did. I think I was safe. - Okay, our next story. "Today I (bleep) up by sending a picture of my penis. to my boss to show his wife. Let's (bleep) go, dude. Let's-. I'm just kidding. (group laughing). - Send a picture of my-. - Okay lemme read this again. - To my boss to show his wife. - I'm gonna preemptively guess. that maybe they're all like working at a hospital.

or the wife is a medical-something. - The wife must be a doctor. - Yes. - Oh! Well, that's the best-case scenario. - The doctor was a woman! - "Obligatory, did not happen today, but last week. I just now have the courage to relive the tale. I'm fairly close with my boss. and his wife is my go-to hairdresser. because that's her business and I like to support them.". So that theory is out the window. - Okay. That, yeah.

- Okay? - This story just got worse. - Now this is really weird. - Fine. Women can be hairdressers. - "So after work one day. I drove my boss to his wife's business to get a haircut. And we all drank several beers during the process. Somewhere in our conversation, his wife asked me what products I use in my hair. And since I didn't know the names, I said I would text her an image of them all. I did not have her number, so I decided to text my boss instead. And there I am in my bathroom, drunk and naked with all the hair stuff.

I use about to hop in the shower. And I think to myself, 'This is is a great time to. send a picture of all this! I have it all here anyway, I quickly snapped a photo of it all. and sent it immediately to my boss.". - Oh my God. - "Before I even looked at the photo, I added, 'Show this to your wife.' to follow it up.". - Like in the bathroom mirror? - What I like to imagine is that like, 'cause like, I'm assuming it's like a reflection. - Yeah. - But would be funny. if it was just showing a whole hog. in like the whole bottom half. of the frame of the photo.

- [Arasha] Like next to it? - It's just like laying on the, there's just like all the products. are on his sink countertop. And then his hog is just laying on the counter. - Oh my God! - It's just... - I don't know how massive this hog is! - It's just curled around. Just coiled. - Just wrapped it down the drain. and pulled it back up. (group snickering) - The boss looks at it, he is like, "Head and Shoulders, okay!". Head and Shoulders, hog and toes? All of it in one photo!

And especially because of the industry that we are in, where I'm like, if a photo accidentally. of anything gets out there for a second, someone screenshotted it. I don't use my camera. I don't even pull my camera out. if I am like getting outta the shower or anything. I'm very careful about it. I also have a weird fear. whenever I'm on the toilet and I'm scrolling TikTok, of accidentally like-. - Going live? - Going live! And I know it'll just be my face, but I just don't wanna be just like- (laughs).

- Just being like, um! And you're like, fully naked on the toilet! Like "Sorry, everybody!". - "I guess you all know my secret now! I have to be fully naked! Thanks for the roses!". - "Guys, keep sending, keep going! - "Thank you for sending the roses! - Socks off, too? - Okay, so he sends a photo of, he's in the bathroom, he's got all this stuff,

sends a photo, sends it to his boss, says, "Show this to your wife.". "That's when my horror sank in. My camera was zoomed out in 0.6 zoom instead of x1. And in the corner of the photo I see it. My first train of thought was, "If I'm holding my phone in this hand. and the products in the other hand, why the is my thumb in the photo? It was not my thumb. It was the tip of my penis fully exposed. I prayed he wouldn't notice. it as it was off to the edge of the picture. But his first reply was,

"Yo, what the, (bleep)? Your whole ass (bleep) is on the picture!". - Honestly, that's the best possible response. - "The fact I followed it up with, 'Show this to your wife,' floored me. I don't know if I laughed because it was so funny, or out of pure shame. He wouldn't look or talk to me for the entire week. And no, he did not show it to his wife, thank God. I'll never be able to live that down.". Well, what did you just sort follow up with, dude? - Oh my gosh. - I would've immediately just been like,

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize, like-". - Say, "Just crop it out, still send it to her.". - Yeah, dude. - Crop out the products, yeah. - Crap out the products. Send the goods! - Send the thumb! - Send tip! - Oh, my God! - Send tip! - Yeah, also, I barely text or call people when I'm drunk. I am like, very careful about it. - Oh, really? - Yeah. - Yeah, 'cause I'm just like, I'm very mindful. - Oh, no. I reach out to my network. - (laughs) Just texting it all out!

- I'm like, "Hey!". - So, I don't really like to, I don't get on my camera when I'm naked. and I don't text when I'm drunk. So you double those up? Drunk and naked? - Yeah. - Put your phone away. - It's a combo, for sure. Yeah. - Wait till tomorrow. Send it then. Comments: "Never photograph anything naked.". Smart. Someone commented, "Reflections, shadows, lots of things to betray you. and the internet never forgets.". Someone replied r/mirrorforsale.

Which is a great subreddit. where people on Facebook marketplace. are selling mirrors and the reflection... - Right! - Always shows who's ever taken the photo. There's definitely naked people. There's people in their pajamas. or robes or all sorts of silly things. - Rough! - Lastly, someone said, "Let's take a moment. to acknowledge the wicked burn your boss leveled on you. You said it was just the tip, but he called it your whole ass (bleep).". - Yeah. - Oh shit. - Yeah. - Maybe he should have sent it to his wife. - He's like, "I swear, it's just the tip!". - And he is like, "No..." - [Shayne] No, man.

- He's like, dude, that's your belly button. - That's the whole thing. (group chuckling). - Okay, that's pretty rough. That's probably the worst one so far, right? - I mean, the boss could've done a lot-. The boss could've been like, upset. or like, you know, it sounds like they handled it. kind of like friendly being like, "Dude, what the hell?". You know? - Like they're on any terms. - They said he's not speaking with them since then. - Yeah, it just took a week of not speaking to him and then. - But there was a funny reply. That is how I think I would reply too. - That's the best type of reply you could get. - Yeah.

- Acknowledging it, but it's, you know. I think what it would've been worse is if, 'cause he was like, "I hope he doesn't notice.". I'm like, no! Like, tell him! "Oh wait, sorry. Let me take a better one. Don't send that one!". Because if you don't, if he doesn't notice. and he sends it to his wife, that's worse! - Yeah. - [Shayne] Like clear it up! - I mean, like, do we have the photos so that, you know, we could maybe just like put our input in? - Yeah, Shane, can we see the tip? - Can we, like, can we maybe just like see it? - I'm looking at it, it's good.

- No show-. No, show it! - No. - You can't just save the tip for yourself, bro. - No. - Share the tip. - #Sharethetip! - Our next story, another "Today I (bleep) up.". "Today I (bleep) up by finishing. before clothes even came off.". Ooh... - Classic mistake. - Antonio Banderas? (breathes). - Oh... Hey, that's okay. - That's... - Hey, man! - That's the story.

Hey, man! That's cool! That's awesome. - It happens. - Some people don't even make it that far! - Yeah, man! - Hey, yeah. - She gets a call. and it's just like, "Hey, I'm on my way-. I gotta turn around. I'm going home!". - He's like, "Thanks.". - "I hit a crazy speed bump on the way here. Gotta go home.". Okay. "I, a 28-year-old man am a kissless virgin. No hand holding, no hugs that lasted longer. than a couple seconds, nothing. I've spent my entire adult life either too shy.

or too awkward to pursue anything resembling romance. Though I've been dating this absolutely stunning woman, a 26-year-old woman for the past two months. She's sweet, funny and way too good for me. Like she's dating down. into the earth's crust levels of too good for me. And I love her. I don't know why she would want me. in the first place, but I definitely fumbled it now. Last night we were at her place. having what I thought was a casual movie night, but then the vibe shifted. She cuddled up to me, was laughing a little harder at my terrible jokes.

And then it happened. She asked me if I wanted a kiss, and I nodded. She leaned in then and did it. My first-ever kiss. My brain went into complete meltdown mode. She kept kissing me and even got on my lap. After a minute or two of kissing like this, she stroked the hair on the back of my head. And that did it for me. It was embarrassing. It wasn't subtle either. No, 'Maybe she didn't notice.'. She probably felt it since she was straddling my lap. There was absolutely no hiding it. She froze mid kiss and I felt her kind of smile.

She was probably about to laugh at me. I panicked. I stammered something incomprehensible, grabbed my jacket and bolted.". - No! - "I spent the rest of the night lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering why I was born. She actually texted me, probably making fun of me or saying. that she doesn't wanna see me again. I haven't opened it, I can't, I'm so (bleep) humiliated.". - No! - "What am I supposed to say? 'Sorry. I finished in my pants. because I got overwhelmed by a kiss?'". - Oh my gosh! - I can't even think about it without wanting. to disappear into a black hole.

I've probably ruined everything. And she's probably laughing. about this with her friends now.". - Okay. Okay. Well, this person's catastrophizing. - Yeah I feel bad for this guy. - Definitely. - Literally, this stuff just happens to people. and it's normal. - Dude! - And I think like, yeah, like she might like laugh about it, but she'll laugh with you about it. - Yeah, dude! - You know, like, it's not a big deal. - I think what's unfortunately happening here. is this guy hates himself so much. It's hard for him to imagine a world. where everyone doesn't share the same view of him.

- Yeah. - It's like you hate yourself more than anyone. could even get close to think of you. Like, she likes you! Like you even said in this. that you felt her kind of smile. Like, and he is just, he cannot fathom a world. where she's accepting. - Just incredibly low self-esteem. - Totally. - Like him talking about like, oh, I'm way beneath her. I'm nothing. It's like, okay man. - Right? - Stop. - And I'm sure like him being a, in his words 28-year-old kissless virgin.

has probably contributed to that. Like his confidence over time has probably sunk down. - Yeah. - And that's why something so, again, like, it makes sense to get overwhelmed. It's not like, oh my gosh, this is so crazy and rare! It's like, oh, that's unfortunate. - It's something that really frustrates me about, and I know this is the case for more than just men, but something as a man, I've seen it with so many other men, is how much dudes make their entire identity.

around their sex life. Or how much they've had sex or lack thereof. And it's like, the first thing that you introduce yourself. as is a kissless virgin. And I'm like, dude, I don't care! Like, and I promise you a lot of people don't care. Like, that is one aspect of your, like, life, one small aspect, frankly. Like you are so much more than that. By making that your entire identity, you're gonna make dating impossible. Because that's, you're boiling yourself down to just that. - Yeah.

- It's kind of like a self-fulfilling identity. where it's like, if you're like, nobody likes me. and nobody wants to date me 'cause I'm a piece of shit. And it's like, yeah if you keep telling women that, you're not going to like get a relationship. because it's not attractive. to constantly be putting yourself down like that. - Totally, totally. Like, you're almost like starting. to form that as your personality. - It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. - Yeah. - I mean, if you tell your subconscious something. over and over and over again,

at the very least you believe it. It'll kind of make you, kind of make that come true all the time. - If I had to guess, like, maybe this person was like, in a very like, specific friend group growing up, or like inside of their little community, they must have been like the last one. to get their first kiss or something. And so maybe it started to feel. like they were very behind, when in reality, I think there are a lot of people. who haven't had their first kiss until their late twenties.

They just don't like admit it or say it out loud. - And it's more common now than it's ever been. - Yeah! - Younger generations are not like, it's very common to be a virgin into your twenties nowadays. You were bringing it up like, oh, maybe he was in a friend group. I think what's been really bad over the past 10-15 years, it's always been this way, but it's gotten worse. Is there's a lot of grifters that target men. And they make you feel like. this is all that matters. is your attractiveness to.

how much women are attracted to you. and how much sex you're having is your worth, right? And they're basically telling you, you're a loser. if you're not doing this. And they're selling a fake thing, right? There's tons of men online who are portraying themselves. as these machismo-types of dudes. It's like, it's probably all fake. You're not really like this. I don't know, it's just sad how much he despises himself. That's not gonna go away once he has sex too, like. This guy has to deal with why he thinks of himself this way.

- It's almost like a different marker is gonna sprout. - He'll find a new thing. And I know that because like, I went through that. I mean, I, you know, like, I remember being young, this is I think a common feeling for dudes. of just like, I'm a virgin, like I'm a loser. And then you lose it and then you're just kinda like, it's like, "Oh, okay.". And then like, time moves on. and then you find another reason. for thinking you're a loser. You'll find the feeling is there, it's not gonna go away with an action. - Maybe it could even be attributed.

to like this zoomed-out image of validation right? Because what he's seeking is from someone else. Rather than an internal confidence boost. - So many dudes are thinking that. if they're desired by women, that their self hatred will go away. It's like, no man, it won't. - Yeah. - As you can see, this woman does desire you. But it's not clearing up your own hatred for yourself. - Right, it's like, maybe before he was like, I have never had a girlfriend. Now he has a girlfriend, but he's like, okay, but she hates me because I'm ugly.

Like, for sure. She doesn't wanna be with me. - Yeah, no, I mean, from my own personal experience, like, my insecurities despite even now being married. and someone who like, I know loves me. and will tell me like, she's like, "Oh, I love you so much!". That your insecurities will still exist inside of you. And like that is your own journey to deal with. Nobody is going to make that go away. - Yeah, yeah! - There's nothing in the exterior world. that you will achieve that will change.

that interior thing. That only goes away with interior, like, work, so... - Yeah, and when we're talking about it in a sexual context, it feels really sensitive. But I think that that can parallel. lots of different things, right? Like, it's kind of like if you're pursuing a job, right? You really wanna get a job, but you're like, but I suck and I really, I'm not qualified! And then you think getting that job is gonna validate you, but then you get the job and you're like,

I don't know why they gave it to me! I really don't deserve it. And you just keep pulling yourself down. - Absolutely, there's tons of parallels. - Yeah. I mean, like, I see a lot of examples of that, like with people with low self-esteem, just self-sabotaging. - You'll find a way. - People that truly have, like real, like raw talent. and they will just get in their way every single time. because they just don't believe in themselves. - I mean, it's extra silly when you see it in other people.

We all do these things that when you see someone else do it, you're like, oh, it's silly. You're like this lady's really into you! And you could almost, if I was his friend, you could flip it. and just being like, she might feel really good about the situation. 'Cause it probably, what made you feel not sexy. probably made her feel like damn, okay! - Very true. Very true! - I'm hot a shit! - I've got the magic touch! - Exactly. - You're so right, yeah! It's like it's rewriting the narrative, just giving it a different perspective. But you can like, you can see how many times he chose.

to bring himself down. Even the idea of, oh, she was laughing harder at my terrible jokes. Like King! You were being funny! - Stop dude! Bunch of comments here. "Honesty is the best policy. Just be open about it and admit the buildup was too high. because you find her incredibly amazing and all. Just don't put yourself down while saying this. Nothing less sexy than that. She likes you clearly. And just work with that.". Someone said, "Dude, if you're going to have sex, embarrassing stuff happens all the time. The best partners laugh it off.

Wait till you accidentally make fart noises. with your sweaty bodies!". - That's real. Someone else said, "That message either contains one of two things: one, she's making fun of you or breaks things off, or she's understanding it and wants. to try again another time. You already decided in your head. that it's option one and are acting like it is. So opening that text wouldn't be any different. than ignoring it, but for the chance that it is option two, you should definitely look.". - Definitely. - Update. Quick little update, but huge.

- Quick little? Sorry. - A fast update. - [Arasha] Yeah. - "Yeah, I was panicking for nothing. I opened the text and she was asking if I was okay. and said that she thought it was kind of hot. I did apologize for storming off and we're good now. She also told me. that I'll build more stamina with practice.". - Boom! - Boom! - Damn! She said, nuts! - She said, I thought that was kind of hot. - Yeah, dude! - I love that! - Now he's like, "God, now I do. I have to do this every time?!".

(Arasha laughing). - I don't think he needs to worry about that. - Yeah. And none of us were surprised. - Aw! - Fork found in kitchen. Yeah, happy for the guy. - Yeah! - Dude, for real. - To new beginnings for him. - Yeah, man. Seriously. Well that wasn't embarrassing. Honestly, the only thing embarrassing. was how he talked about himself. - Yeah, that was... - That, to me is embarrassing. Like if someone was... If someone, because I feel for him.

and I'm like, I know that's a real feeling. If I was around that for that long. that would get me to a point of being like, dude, shut up. Like, stop talking about yourself like that. - Like I would be just as mad. as hearing someone talk about someone else that way. Like you're being such an asshole to yourself. - Yeah, yeah! - It's unbelievable. - Hopefully like reaching out. and only seeing these positive comments. introduces him to a different community. - Hopefully. I wonder if he wrote this hoping. for some affirmation and hope he got it.

And I hope he, in the future, doesn't need that affirmation, you know? He needs to get that affirmation from himself. - Yeah. - Too true. - Anyways, moving on. - [Arasha] Yeah. - "Today I (bleep) up by creating the most terrifying. and embarrassing moment in my life.". We'll see about that. - Teaser! - "It is currently 1:00 AM, this happened about 20 minutes ago. I am currently bawling my eyes out. from humiliation and shock. I will write out this event as if you were me.

It all started when I-" - First person POV? - All right, screenwriter! - "It all started when I, 23-year-old woman, got home late from work. We had a meeting after the park was closed. and didn't get home until 10:00 PM. I take a shower and smoke my dab pen while drying my hair. I then proceeded to forget the next hour, so my hair was dry and I was playing Red Dead online.". Nice. "I had just gotten-". (crew laughing) Sick! - And they have a dab pen? That's like hardcore weed! - I mean, so far. it sounds like you're sick as (bleep), dude.

- Yeah dude! - I'm down. - I'm sorry bro. Like, okay! - Queen. - "I had just gotten comfy. when I heard my cat Winnie making a strange meow. My cat only meows like this. when she sees something outside, it's like a low yowl and not a cute meow. I pause the game and take my headphones off. She's meowing in the living room. She runs into the doorway to my bedroom and meows again. I follow her out into my living room, which is only lit by a nightlight. I see that my motion-activated light is on outside. Winnie is looking through the blinds. and meows again and again.

The light goes off and then comes back on. I called my roommate, a 26-year-old man, he is at work and gets off in an hour. I am fried at this point. and I'm thinking that I am overreacting. Winnie meows louder and longer, over and over. I'm freaking out, and a shadow from my patio moves. A few seconds later, there is a knock on the door. I feel my heart in my ears. The heartbeats are really loud. and everything is in slow motion. I stared at the door for what seemed like about 30 seconds, but was probably only two or three.

I darted to my room, locked my door, and then was in my closet with a large knife. I don't remember if I got the knife. before or after the knocking. I'm on the phone with the police. My breath is incredibly shaky and raspy. I'm having memories and images of my family. and friends rushing through my head. Then I think of my parents and how I need to call them, but I'm on the phone with 911 telling them. my info and location. I am mentally preparing to kill someone or die. The 911 dispatcher was silent. She said there were two officers close. Silence. I ask where they are.

She tells me they are turning into my apartment. I awaited the most painful 30 seconds of my life. It seriously felt like 10 minutes. I hear voices at my front door. I hear the dispatcher's voice. She asks, 'Did you order delivery?'". - Yep. Yep! I knew it! - "TLDR: I forgot I ordered delivery. and called the cops on my delivery driver. for delivering my food.". - Girl! - Typical high activities. - Edit: "Since I keep getting asked, yes, still feel awful.

Yes, I tipped the driver online. and no, the cops and the driver did not see each other. The driver dropped my food at the door.". - Okay, but where did she order from? - That's... - I knew it was gonna be that. - It gotta be Taco Bell. - Taco Bell, it's gotta be. - Wow. - That's awesome. - That dab pen. - I thought it was gonna be her own shadow. that she kept seeing. - Oh! - And I was like, that's just a really bad high. - She forgot she ordered it. - Yeah. - [Ian] Oh... - Poor thing! - [Ian] Dude.

- Hey, we all been there. - We've all been there, man. - We've all ordered postmates. and then called the cops on 'em. - Dude, yeah. When you got the dispatcher on the phone? - [Ian] That's crazy. - Keep the change, ya filthy animal! (group laughing). - Man, I mean, it's understandable. - Yeah, dude. It dappens. - It dappens. - Yeah, she probably put the pen down. for a couple weeks. - This is probably, maybe a little bit of a wake up call. - It's like, all right.

- I mean, it was off. It was after work. She was just like, relaxing. - The cops were like, "Are you playing Red Dead online?". - She's like, "Yeah, you play?". - They're like, "Yeah, dude.". - She, should've switched to chew, you know, when she plays Red Dead, get a spittoon? (group chuckling). Just really just immerse yourself. - Yeah, really get into it. - Wow. - Comments: "If it makes you feel any better, I'm a 911 operator, and I can tell you this happens all the time. I don't think a single night goes. by without someone calling,

thinking someone is breaking in. Only to find out it was a neighbor. or friend, or my favorite; a glass jar of chocolate milk exploding.". - Sorry? - Well, that's not supposed to happen. - Well, that, that would scare the shit outta me! I'm calling the cops! - They're like, every night, every night. - I'm like, someone killed my chocolate milk! (group laughing). Someone murdered my chocolate milk! - Wow. - Someone else said, "So did you get your delivery?". OP said, "Yes, I did, I'm not very hungry at the moment.". Someone else said, "Two things; what exactly were you smoking and what did you order?".

"Okay, I was smoking a glow pen. and I ordered a tuna sandwich and Dr. Pepper.". - Ugh! - Girl that's what you're gonna eat on your munchies? - What kind of high are you? - Like, oh, I can really go for a tuna sandwich delivered! Oh, and it's soggy! - God, you are... That is not a good high. - No, it's a good thing the cops were there. - You need more creativity, dude. - And you know she paid like $4 for that Dr. Pepper. - Yeah! - Ugh, and it was a can.

- Now this is embarrassing. It was not embarrassing, now this is a huge-. - I agree. - Now this is so embarrassing. - Now (bleep) her. - [Ian] Dude, you know that-. - (bleep) you! - That bread was so soggy by the time it got there. - Oh yeah. Oof. - The cat would've liked that, though. - I think that's why the cat was meowing. - Oh, maybe it was for Winnie, yeah! - The cat was like, "Give this to me.". Give me the sandwich. - [Arasha] Give me this. - And she only heard the cat talking. - The cat turns from the window and just goes: "Give me the sandwich!".

- Give me this, I have no salt. - She calls the cops on her cat. My cat's talking! Okay, there is a great video from back in the day. There is an incredible video that this reminds me of. Do you know what I'm talking about? - [Ian] Yep. - There was, it was a cop, who had taken some brownies from the station. that they had confiscated, and he eats them with his wife. and he gets so high that he calls the police. and he is like, "You need to send an ambulance, I'm dying!". And there's the, the video call is on YouTube.

and it is so funny. He is like, "You need to send an ambulance, I think I'm dying!". "We ate some brownies and I think I'm dying! - He says, "I'm dead!". - He says I'm dead? - He's like, "I think I'm dying! Yeah, I'm dead! - It's so funny, dude! - I guess that's what a bad high can spiral you into. - Yeah. - Some paranoia. - Yeah, man. - Yeah. - Yeah, be safe. - Yeah. - Do you know anything about that? - No. - You ever had a bad one? - I actually haven't. - Okay. - [Shayne] That's crazy. - Have you guys? - I pretty much only.

- Exclusively, I'm like, oh, I'm gonna have a bad night. - I also have truly bad luck. I haven't smoked weed in forever, but when I do, weird shit happens. - Really? - That when I wake up and I'm sober, I'm like, that was some wacky shit that happened. It's, I swear I would be like, during the pandemic, I'd be like, home alone. and I'd be like, I would wait till it's like late enough. that I'm like, okay, some (bleep) shit can't happen now. So it's late enough. I'm safe. - Live it up. - And I'd swear to God, I would take a hit and the second I did, knock at my door.

And I'm just like, hah?! I'm like, they've come for me! - Right. - Yeah. - Oh, I don't know? - That's funny. - So that's almost the reason why I don't. - Right. - 'Cause I'm like, no. Our next story. this is an Am I the Asshole? - Yay! - Whoa! We have a decision to make on this embarrassing one. "Am I the Asshole for embarrassing my cousin. and getting us kicked out of a restaurant? I, a 25-year-old woman, don't have kids yet.

I never really wanted them growing up, but I figure I'll eventually have kids in the future. once I get my life together. My cousin Sarah, who's 29, has two bad-behaved kids from a previous relationship. and a newborn baby with her boyfriend MJ, who's 40. Last night, my mother's sister, Sarah and I. went to a sushi restaurant. and this was my first time having sushi. After we ordered, I had a hard time using the chopsticks. My cousin started obnoxiously laughing. The waiter came over and asked me. if I wanted training wheels, which is a little plastic item that attaches.

to the chopsticks and helps you hold them in place. My cousin laughed and said, 'Sorry about her, she constantly embarrasses herself and us.'. I just gave her the side eye. and put the training wheels on. When it was time to order desserts, her boyfriend MJ finally joined us, claiming that he was, 'busy.'. She went on to tell him how stupid. and slow I was for not knowing how to use chopsticks. and how the waiters and everyone around. now know that I'm an embarrassment. My mom asked her what her problem was, and she went on a rant about how I'm so embarrassing.

and it's no wonder I'm jealous of her being a mother. and no one wants to have kids with me. I finally had enough. I said, 'I don't have kids because I don't want them. to come out like your rude pieces of shit. And you're calling me an embarrassment? Didn't MJ just have a baby with you and his wife? Your baby literally has a sibling a week apart from her, you probably learned how to use chopsticks. by eating his wife's leftovers.'". - Damn! - Holy shit! - "I guess when she was attacking me, it was fine, because everyone turned on me.

It got so loud that management had to get involved. Sarah was screaming and crying, MJ was yelling at me, and my mom and sister were berating me. for being mean. Management brought the bill. and told us to please pay it and leave. My mom paid the entire bill, but my sister said I'm an asshole for embarrassing Sarah. and getting us kicked out, and now she's probably going through postpartum depression. Now, I don't know if I went too far, seeing if she's probably going. through some post-baby stress. Am I the asshole?". - Never do sake bombs at the family.

- Yeah. - I was gonna say she deserved it. and then I remembered the postpartum depression. - Okay, the question is, was Sarah's behavior always like this, or is this a completely new something? - Right. - I'm also then mad at the mom. and stuff for not defending her more earlier. and being like, "Hey, don't call her an embarrassment.". - Right. - Don't say, you're saying horrible things to this person. You calling her-. - 'Cause she can't use chopsticks. You're calling her slow, you're calling her embarrassment. I'm like, I don't know. I understand people go through things, but you shouldn't be excusing that.

That shouldn't be happening. - Right. - If I'm her, if I'm somewhere and someone. is genuinely calling me an embarrassment, and doubling down on it, I'm getting up and leaving. I'd get up and be like, "You're being. insanely mean right now, you're making me feel awful. I don't wanna be around this, if you're gonna be this way-". And I would leave. - And usually that is, I think, the best way. to diffuse a situation. that cannot ever have fingers pointing back. to you when you just call it out, right? Like, hey, I'm gonna stop you right there.

You're being incredibly insulting. - Her boiling over. I wish she would include the information of like, is this behavior your cousin has always elicited towards you. or is this brand new behavior? - It's also like, there must be, yeah. There must be some other history there. because for her to just say like, "You're jealous of me because I have these kids. and you don't, because you don't have your life together, blah, blah, blah, blah.". Like there's gotta be some history between them. that goes back before this episode.

- Yeah, maybe some like, familial expectations as well. 'Cause she started by saying, "I'm 25 and I don't have kids.". Which doesn't seem too crazy, to not have kids. - That's literally modern-. Of this current era, that is completely normal. - Right. - I would not think anything of it. This is clearly very personal. They have got, there is, it feels to me like history is going on here. And that's why the mention of postpartum, I'm like, alright, so is this only this past years.

or whatever, like, or is this go back to childhood? Because this almost feels like. they've had this going on since they were kids. - Some sort of rivalry or competition? - Now look, she went for the throat right off the bat. - Oh yeah. - I cannot deny that she threw back some heat, but she was being called slow. and an embarrassment over and over again. - I would get, yeah. You start to boil up and you, if you don't want to be disrespectful. in the way of leaving the table, then I guess naturally,

if somebody's temper reaches that point, you might spit something out like that. - "Eating the leftovers," is a crazy comment. - That is... - Look she ate. - She ate with that. - We cannot deny she ate. - With her training wheel chopsticks. - We'll see, I'm sure there'll be comments saying. that she was also an asshole, like, there's also the, you know, I'm not saying this is what qualifies, there are stories where someone's an asshole, but maybe it's okay, like, they became an asshole. because the other person was being an asshole.

And it equals out or evens out a little bit. - Asshole equilibrium. - Asshole equilibrium. - Correct. - You know, but there's levels to this. There's all sorts of nuances to being an asshole. - You can be a big asshole. - Yeah, you can become a bigger asshole. than the other asshole, or you could match their asshole. Which is maybe what someone could argue happened here, but I don't know. - Their assholes were different, I think. - Someone gonna match my asshole? (group laughing). - There's also the argument of like, she didn't start it,

the other person was saying mean things at her first. - Yeah. But then there's also that saying like, the person who throws the second punch starts the fight. - Whoa! So someone comes up to me in an alleyway. and punches me and I'm like, you didn't start this!". - You're like, Hey, why'd you do that? Why'd you do that? - Hey man, don't make me start this fight. And then he throws me a second punch. I'm like, now you started the fight! - See? But then, yeah, no. Then he starts the fight. - No, you started the fight!

- That's what I'm saying. I don't know if I completely... - And now I'm crying. - I don't know if I completely back that, but it's definitely something to consider here, 'cause she could've stopped it. - If I start with like a face scratch. and then they punch me? - Does a tiger fist count? - Yeah, a tiger fist? Does that? - Guys, I'm just relaying the expression. I didn't come up with this. - Yeah, and we're just, we're just trying to like clarify. - The person who first throws the roundhouse kick. starts the fight. - You guys seen that video? - The verdict was not the asshole. Fair. I think that's, I'm like, I see how that happened.

I think it's gonna be all over the place though. So some comments, someone did say, "Everyone sucks here. Mildly you for taking it as far as you did. and not just skipping dinner with Sarah. or leaving when she started. I'm guessing that this isn't. the first time she was an asshole. I don't blame you for being upset, but I think it would've been better to leave. Ultimately, Sarah was the big asshole in this one. Your mother and sister are assholes for not having your back. and making excuses for Sarah. All fair. - Right. - Someone else said, "Sarah was screaming and crying.

because you finally had enough. and you stopped letting her bully you. Bullies can't handle the tables being turned on them. If your family turns on you over her, then they are her flying monkeys. Not the Asshole, Sarah certainly is, though. And so is your family who sided with the bully.". Lastly, someone said, "Not the asshole, first I was thinking, everyone sucks here, but really she pushed you to breaking point. Postpartum stress doesn't entitle you. to treat everyone around you like crap.". - Right. - True. - Yeah, it's always fascinating to me. how often families side with the bully in families.

It's because I think there's so much of like, people who are trying to keep the peace. - Exactly. - And they know that someone is such an asshole. that they can't tell them. - Right, they're like just trying to protect. the, like, entire family. So they're just like, just don't listen to them! And it's like, well, no, you're actually making it worse. - Right. Yeah, I think it's like, I can't be mad at this person first. 'cause she did stand up for herself. It's like, is there a right, like how you stood up for yourself is correct.

It's a matter of like, that doesn't permit you. to say anything to another person. Granted, her kids weren't there. If her kids were there, I'd be like, "Don't say that shit.". But it's just to her, I don't know. It's, I'm certainly not here being like, "Hey, you're the bad guy here.". - Right. - If I was there, I'd be like, okay. - I'm curious why the, why, like, they were so quick. to be like to OP, to be upset with her about what she said.

Like, was it because hers had like more weight? - I think they're trying to appease, 'cause I think Sarah will more soon. get mad at them, like, and blame them for not standing up for her. They're almost like, oh, she's gonna make our life more of a nightmare, if we don't side with her. - Which is kind of selfish behavior, though. - Oh, absolutely. They're trying to keep the peace, but they're really just prolonging. someone's asshole behavior in the family. - I would've loved to just be at the sushi bar.

for that whole argument. Just be like, oh shit! She really just said that? - Across the bar. - [Ian] Yeah, that would've been-. - Oh, if I was there, I'd be like, can I get another order of something? Like, I'm gonna be here a little bit longer. - Yeah, to like, whoever your date is. - I'd be ordering another round of sake bombs. I'm like, hell yeah. - Let's go. Have you ever witnessed like, a bad argument? Like in a public space next to you? - I probably have, nothing horrible. And there's levels to it. 'Cause there's, where it's like scary.

where I'm like, let's get outta here. - Yeah. - But where it's dramatic. and it's like, "Ooh, shit!". Not really. - Yeah, I don't know either. - As much shit as I talk, I don't think I've seen it that often. - I think I witnessed the end of a relationship. on the train, recently. - What happened? - I think she might've had a couple drinks. and he was not saying very much. And then she got angry that he wasn't saying very much. And then she was like, "You don't love me! You don't love me!".

And he was just like, what? And she's like, "You don't love me! I can't believe you don't love me!". And it was weird. - Oh no! - I was also, I didn't like them. because they were two people. and they sat in the four seater part of the train. that was reserved for groups of three or more. - Etiquette. - And so I did not like these people anyway. And I was sitting right behind them. and I was like, listening to this whole thing. I was like, this is crazy. - That's wild. - This is crazy. - I, okay. I have not seen necessarily fights. between people too often, but what I have seen on several occasions.

is at the airport, someone yelling att the gate. - Oh yeah! - The gate agency. - I've seen that, and like I've seen full on meltdowns. - Which like, that's the last person you want to yell at! - Oh, it's always entertaining to me. because I'm just like, I know that this can go nowhere. I know that You're only gonna be escorted out of here. - Yeah, they hold the power. - And I'm just like, this is entertaining. - When the whole like, internet thing happened. when like, I forget, it was like windows.

or something that was down? I was at the airport. and there were so many people yelling at, like-. Like, they were just like, we don't know anything! Everything's down! And people were like, well, I need to get to Massachusetts! And it was like, well, you can't! Nobody has any update for you! - The airport is where entitlement meets the wall. - [Both] Yeah! - And it's very funny. Update! (Ian and Arasha gasp). - Wow. - "Thank you all for the overwhelming responses. I've been wanting to put Sarah in her place. for a while now and I'm glad I did.

However, Sarah's mom got involved and is mad at me. Apparently MJ told Sarah. that he and his wife were separating. Sarah found out that he lied. because he was secretly stalking his wife's Facebook page. and got the shock of her life when wifey. posted a newborn baby and MJ was there for the birth. Sarah did the math and realized. that he got both of them pregnant the week of his birthday. She confronted him and he confirmed it. He also said that she'll have to get over it or he'll leave. So she stayed and is now constantly in shambles. Not my problem. Now onto the problem-".

That's not the problem! - Savage. - "She kept the wife's baby a secret. and only told her mom, who told my mom, who told my sister and I. So they said that they were pissed. because I wasn't supposed to repeat it.". - Ah. - But I didn't know it was classified information. After like a week, that's all everyone talked about. Sarah's mom, my aunt, reached out to me this morning. and she said that Sarah's problem with me. is that I always said, I don't like kids. and only a horrible person won't like kids.

And that I was mean to her about her kids two months ago. Two months ago, she wanted to go to a party with MJ. and ask me to watch her kids, all three of them for free. I told her no, because they're untrained, I don't feel comfortable watching a newborn. and she'll have to pay me to put up with the other two.". - They're not dogs! - Yeah. - 30 cents? - "They're untrained.". - 30 cents for their meals, though. - (laughs) Yeah, there you go! - "So I guess that's why she's still holding grudges. Regardless, Sarah's mom said. she was having a really hard time. after finding out about the outside baby,

who technically is the inside baby. as Sarah's baby is the outside baby, but whatever. And she wants me to apologize. for putting her business out there for everyone. She got my mom and sister involved. So I just called Sarah and apologized. She just said, 'I don't care what you have to say,'. and hung up. Regardless, I held up my end of the bargain. Hopefully this gets blown over soon. because your girl is tired.". - Oh, go to bed! - I think this is a prime example. of why are you talking to these people?

Like, I don't know, like I know Reddit's response is often like cut people out, but I'm like, you hate this person! And it sounds like she hates you, - But they're family, right? - Cousins. - Cousins. - I'm like, stop talking to each other like... You hate each other, is almost my initial takeaway. - That is some crazy family drama, though. - That is some beef! - That is some tea that if my mom served it to me, I would be definitely spewing it out at a restaurant. - They're not good, this is not gonna blow over. You guys are not gonna mend this. You're only gonna hate each other more.

and more as time goes on. - Right. - Rough. - The beef builds. - Okay, that was a wild one. - [Arasha] Yeah. - Our next story and our final story. This comes from "Two Hot Takes.". Shout out to Morgan, over at two Hot Takes. "I accidentally farted on a first date. and she walked out in the middle of dinner.". - She's not the one. - She's not the one, she's not cool. - She's not the one. If you can't fart? - Dude. - I mean, unless it was like the fart. that cleared out the room at under the missile toe.

- We were just talking about that yesterday! - Yeah, that one. That's probably the only fart. that I could see ending a date. - I can still smell it. - That's rough. That is rough. - That was a bad one. - Okay. - So bad. - We all had Chipotle. - Is that what it was? We all had Chipotle? - Remember? Like right before the show? - So it's Chipotle's fault. - It's Chipotle's fault. - "I met this girl a couple of weeks ago. and I've never hit it off with anyone like this. Extremely attractive, funny. We loved all the same things.

Everything was perfect. However, she kept mentioning all. of her pet peeves, some of which are unforgivable. and instant deal-breakers. Our first date was this past Saturday night. I made a reservation at a hard to get into hole in the wall. That's literally a tourist attraction. in my town in Louisiana. Perfect spot for a quiet dinner. The quietness would become a detriment to my dating life. I had been gassy all day for no reason at all. It was one of those days. However, they weren't noisy or smelly, so I didn't think much about it. We were talking and having a great time.

when I tried to ease one out. and for some reason it was audible, a clear fart noise. In a desperate attempt to lie my way out of the mishap, I quickly said, "That's not what it sounded like, I promise you it was my chair!". - Oh... - The night's conversational focus has now shifted. towards the unidentified noise. Her whole demeanor changed. and there were no more laughs, jokes, smiles, nothing. One of her aforementioned pet peeves had surfaced. The night was effectively over. In last-ditch effort to recover,

we decided on trying to recreate the fart noise. with the chair. If I could somehow achieve this, I had a chance.". - What is this, survivor? - Yeah. What is this SAW? "Although slim to none, a chance nonetheless. Long story short, I could not recreate the fart noise. by scooting the chair around. and our now delivered food was getting cold. She accused me of being a farting liar and left. It's now Monday morning. and I still haven't heard from her as I lie here. and shitpost my gastric misfortunes.

Believe it or not, this was the short version. Is there a chance for us or is she out? Should I have taken ownership of the fart, thoughts?". - Bro, you're gonna fart again. You're gonna fart so many more times. - Okay. I'm curious, 'cause he's not, listen, he's talking about as if he made it clear. He's like, she had a bunch of pet peeves. and then he is like, oh, one of these aforementioned pet peeves. I'm like, was her pet peeve farting or lying? - Oh! - Yeah. - Because I'm like, Hey man-. - I think it was the fact that he lied.

- You're not being clear to us. Is she mad that you lied about it. and you're being so intense about this lie? As opposed to, oh my God, I'm so sorry. - I think you're right. I think her pet peeve is lying. Which is a good reason to leave a date. - Because farting being a pet peeve. that is a deal breaker means you are never going. to have a relationship in your entire life. - Yeah, that's insane. - Right. - One of my pet peeves is just normal human functions. - Right, but he thought it was gonna be like a, (blows air). And it was a "pttht.". - See, 'cause this could have been a really cute,

fun little date thing. Like trying to recreate the fart noise with chairs. is kind of a fun activity. - That is fun. - See, he wasn't, he also wasn't being smart about this. So here's what he does. This is the thing. - Okay, let's hear it out. - He farts, he blames it on the chair. - Yep. - And he is like, they're trying to recreate it. I'm like, you need to fart right as you're moving the chair. - Yes. - Right. - So that you do it again. And then she goes, oh, it was the chair. And he's like-. - I mean, we've all been there like, you know, when you were younger and you farted. and you were like, no, it was my shoe!

And then you're like rubbing your shoe. against the floor, I know why he did it. I'm not mad. - No, I'm not mad either. He needed to cough at just the right second. - Yeah, like, (coughs). (Arasha blowing raspberry) (group laughing). (Shayne blowing raspberry). - Just in between every cough you're like, dammit, I can't time it! (group laughing). - It's such a great, there's a family guy clip. of Peter coughing and farting at the same time!

- That's awesome. - That's one of my favorites. - Farts are funny, and if you don't think that. I think that's a dealbreaker. - Yeah dude, it's hilarious. - No, I mean like there's even. like the super ancient like Japanese art. that shows like fart humor. - Yeah! He's chosen. - I love a good fart. - Yeah, so farts have always been funny. - Update! - (gasps) What? - Here we go, this is from one month later. The date found OP's post and then made her own. - I love when this happens. - Oh!

Let's see if the stories line up! - "Walked out in the middle of a first date. because he farted and lied about it.". This is the other side of the story. because my date posted his version here about a month ago. and I just found out. This guy and I hit it off. and after a few weeks of talking. I agreed to go on a date with him. He was very funny, intelligent, and cute, to name just a few qualities. As we were getting to know one another, we discussed things that we love, hate. and annoyances from a relationship standpoint. None of them were crazy. Some of mine were, I won't tolerate dishonesty,

I don't like feet and I don't like bathroom talk.". - Feet? - "Fast forward to our date, everything is going well. We get our drinks and appetizers. He gets some kind of beans soup as an app. Oh, he was slurping it out of the bowl. Didn't really bother me, it was just noticeable. Dinner comes out. and he lets out the loudest, rank fart. that I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing. I work in healthcare. Honestly, he looked so embarrassed. I was going to ignore it and continue with dinner. That is until he practically yelled out,

'I didn't fart, it was the chair! The chair farted, not me! I promise I didn't fart!'. So I said, 'It's okay, just please stop saying that and lower your voice.'. - I kid you not, this man starts scooting around on the chair. and telling me, he'll prove to me he didn't fart. and just listen for the chair. This went on for a solid five minutes. with people staring at us. I was so embarrassed and he would not let it go. I finally just got up and left. He left me several voicemails afterwards. telling me how dramatic I was. for leaving over a squeaky chair.

and how ridiculous my pet peeves were. I never responded to him. And then I found out about his Reddit post. Can y'all blame a gal for walking out?". - No. - That's hilarious. - This is such a clear case. of how we can be read a story. and think it is just tailored one way. But when you hear it from a different perspective. and not the person who's a part of the story, it is a completely different tale. There's always one person's side of the story,

the other person's side, and then the truth. - Of course. Yeah, absolutely. It's always the aspect with these Reddit stories. and it's why to a certain degree, every Reddit story always sounds a little fictional. It is because like things are being left out. or exaggerated in every single story. Even when I believe the person is 100% justified. and if we heard the other side, you still are getting one side of a story almost every time. - Yeah. - This one is hilarious, though. This guy just got revealed to be George Costanza. and that's great.

- See, but it's like, it's so interesting. 'cause he was like, oh, I immediately tried to play it off. and she is saying that he did not play it off at all. and I'm sure that it's not necessarily that embarrassing, but it also probably wasn't as smooth as he described it. It was probably somewhere in the middle. - And he made it sound like they were like both like, oh yeah, let's try to recreate the noise! But it was just him just like scrambling. and be like, "No, no, no, I can make the chair-. I can make the chair make the-!". Dude, like I understand, like it sounds more like she left.

not just because he lied, but also he was being a straight up embarrassment. in a restaurant. Bringing attention to the whole thing. when that never had to happen. - Which is definitely the cringey part of it. - So he was feeling gassy all day, but he ordered bean soup. - He asked for it. - No, it wasn't good planning. It's just like when I ate chili at Chili's. and then went to a party and farted. - Whoa, dude! - And I, yeah, it was a bad idea.

- And did you clear the room? - Well, I did it in a bathroom, but then I-. The fart was so bad that I dragged it out. of the bathroom and into the living room. Where then somebody went, "Who the (bleep) shit their pants?!". Said something like that. (Shayne cackling). And it was the most embarrass-. It was, yeah. It was really embarrassing. - Thank you both for being here. And thank you for watching. I hope you don't feel any embarrassment anytime soon. Let us know what other themes and subreddits. you'd like to see on this show.

and we will see you next Saturday. Goodbye! - Bye! - Bye!
