Nail Biting Reddit Updates Ft. Taylor Tomlinson || Two Hot Takes Podcast
We're rolling right now. >> We're rolling right now. Great. Every. time I do this podcast, I always want to. start a podcast. I'm like, this is how. it's done. It's cozy. It's cool. I swear. to God, it's like when you go to other. podcasts, it's a whole thing. >> It's kind of scary. >> It's really scary. It's like a whole TV. show and you're like, well, I could. never do this. I don't have time. And. then I come to yours and it's like I. feel like I'd have to learn a lot more. about technology, though. I think you're. pretty knowledgeable about how. everything works and I don't have that. I started from nothing.
>> Really? >> I went healthcare and then like couldn't. get a job so started this thing and I. was like recording on an iPhone 8. >> Really? >> Make it till you make it, girl. >> Okay. See, that's helpful. >> You could do it cuz it's wrote a whole. damn book. >> I That's true. And I do feel great about. that. Like it the the hardest thing. about writing a book is you are so proud. of yourself for writing it. >> that it it actually makes it difficult. to quality control it because you're. just so like. >> well done you for even doing it.
>> It might be garbage but it's done isn't. it? And most people can't even write. that much garbage. >> I. >> I'm not really promoting this one. >> No, no, no, but I will. So actually. never mind. Taylor's book comes out. September 22nd. I read your intro. because I just got it like sent over to. me. >> Oh, good. >> And I read your intro and I was like I. was trying to explain how even good your. writing is cuz it's like you're so. profound but then like I'm on the brink. of tears because you say this profound. thing and then like you crack a joke at.
the end and I'm like okay I'm literally. laughing out loud and I'm like that's. just the intro. That's so nice of you to. say because I am. >> terrified. >> because like everyone's like, "Well, you. can write. You're a comedian. You're. always writing." And I'm like, "Yeah, but I'm writing jokes." It's a totally. different. >> type of writing, you know? Like the the. analogy I keep using is like, >> "Yeah, being really good at writing. jokes is not the same as like being. really good at writing pros." Like, it's. the difference of like, "Oh, yeah, I. make amazing smoothies. That doesn't.
mean I can roast a chicken." You know? It's just it's an entirely different. thing. I suppose they're all food, but. >> it's just it's completely different. skill sets. And like to go from trying. to write every idea I have and. everything I want to communicate and. every joke I have in like the shortest. possible way, which is what jokes are, is like saying things in the most. concise way possible to then writing. about all of those subjects long form.
and getting my head wrapped around that. of like, no, yeah, you're supposed to. you're supposed to expand on all of. this. like you're I'm great at editing. It was the getting it all out was the. hardest part, but then once they were. like, "Yeah, let's cut some stuff." I'm. like, "Easy.". >> I was gonna say, did you feel like you. were able to expand on things a lot. more? >> Yes, definitely. >> Because like a joke, obviously, it's, you know, it's got to be quick. It's got. to be punchy, otherwise you lose people. This. >> similar. You don't want to lose people,
but you have more room. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the book's. like I think the book's witty. It's not. like hilarious because. >> I mean you're also touching on like. looking at your your chapter titles like. you're touching on some big stuff. >> Yeah. It's like a much more honest. account of a lot of things that I've. talked about in my standup. When you're. doing a stand-up joke about something, it's not it's not going to be all the. details and it's not going to be how you. really feel. Like your feelings are kind.
of wedged in between the jokes. It's. almost like read between the lines and. you know how I feel. to the point where. sometimes I talk about things on stage. and I go, "Oh, I'm making this sound. like I'm over it or I'm really making. light of this really painful thing that. happened to me." And I'm proud of that. ability, but yeah, to to fully explain. experiences I've had in like their. totality in the book was like I mean. very scary and cathartic and interesting. and and so many it brought up so much. for me. Like I cried a lot writing the.
book. >> Oh my god. a lot from just like. deadline. But. >> yeah, >> but you're also processing a lot too. And like I I think I said to you the. last time you were here, I was like, "God, you're giving like healed." Like. you're you are just so therapized. And. that's like literally one of your your. chapters, too. But I. >> I know last time I came here, I don't. know what was going on, >> but I was really like looking for the. best in people. >> on Reddit, which was crazy. I'm not in. that headsp space today. today. I think.
everyone's up to something. >> Okay. >> And I I cuz last time I felt so silly. just believing, well, maybe there was. that one with the photos in the box. >> Yeah. >> And I thought, oh, well, maybe he's. taking a photography class. Who the [ __ ]. am I? Maybe he's taking a photography. class and keeping it a secret. What? >> What man who's ever hidden photos it was. revealed it was just a creative project? Like I I literally don't know what I was.
thinking that day. I must have been. >> You were hopeful. >> I was really hopeful that day. >> I was so hopeful. Like glass way more. than half full. Like 75% for sure. >> Oh my god. Two full glasses. >> Yeah. >> In each hand. Now I'm like I really. >> I don't know. I don't even know what. we're going to talk about. And I'm. already like I don't know about that. Well, I think you are really gonna enjoy. today's vibe, today's theme, because. there was a moment last time and I think. I gave you an update, you know, kind of. off the bat and then you might have. gotten a little greedy because then a.
story came without an update and you. were like, there's no update. >> So many of them did not have updates. >> You were like, I don't want to be here. anymore. Whatever you said, it was so it. was so funny. >> I I left very different. I left. exhausted. >> No, exhausted and confused. But that's. how my listeners feel. They're like, "Morgan, more updates. More updates.". Like, "Why are you doing this to us? Why. are you even picking stories that don't. have updates?". >> Well, here's what I like about this. podcast. It trains you to be okay to. living without closure. And I think.
that's a really important part of being. alive is just accepting you will not. have closure in most things. >> Today, you are going to get a lot of. closure. Every single story has an. update. >> Really? Yeah. >> Oh my god. I didn't even mean what I. said. Thank God. Okay, great. Closure is. the best. >> Every single one has an update. Will. there be closure at the end of that. update, though? >> Okay, >> you'll see. >> Okay, >> you'll decide. >> Oh my god, I felt I just I can feel the. familiar twist in my gut of anxiety.
>> Oh, it's going to be so good. >> The lack of information is already. stressing me out. I know I'm not going. to get all the answers I need, but I'm. ready. I'm okay. I can do it. Okay, just. deep breath in through your nose, out. through your mouth. >> It's okay. >> Okay, >> we got it. >> Let's dive in.
Okay, this first one coming from AITA. relationships titled, "Would I be the. [ __ ] if I broke up with my boyfriend. because his friends got him a mesh. shaped pinata?". >> Is it stupid that my first question is. for his birthday or for no reason? I, 22. female, and my boyfriend Matt, 22 male, have been together for a year and 8. months. Matt and I go to different. universities in neighboring cities,
about a 45minut drive from each other. Matt is in a fraternity, important for. later. It was Matt's birthday on Friday, and him and I went out to dinner to. celebrate. After dinner, I went back to. my university since I live on campus. The next evening, I was on Instagram and. I clicked on one of our mutual friends. private stories and I saw Matt and a. bunch of his friends hitting and. stomping on a piñata. By clicking. through more of the stories, I figured. that it must have been a surprise party.
for Matt since he had told me his only. birthday plans were dinner with me. On. the last slide of the Instagram story, I. got a closeup of the piñata, and it. looked exactly like me. From the hair color to the skin color, even down to my septum piercing. >> Okay, >> there was no doubt that it was me. I was. really confused and I screen recorded. the stories and then I sent a message to. the friend who posted the story. I asked.
her if it was me as the piñata and she. left me on red and then removed me from. her close friend story. This just confirmed my suspicions. The. next day, I texted him and I asked how. his party went and he acted confused and. said that he never had a party. I was. confused as to why he was lying to me. I. told him I saw it on mutual friend's. private story and then he completely. stopped answering. An hour later, he.
answered and said, quote, "Yeah, the. guys threw me a surprise party. It's. frat tradition not to talk about it, though." That's when I asked him about. the mesh shaped piñata. And I sent him. the video of him and his friends. destroying it. He told me that it was. not me. It was just a random pinata the. guys had found. I told him to stop lying. to me. It was obviously me. I told him. how hurt I was that he would allow his. friends to do something like that and.
all he could answer was that they would. kick him out of the frat if he didn't. accept it. I also brought up if his frat. had thrown him a surprise party, why. wasn't I invited? I was only 45 minutes. away. I knew it wasn't because it was. only guys because the mutual friend who. had posted on the story was a girl who. goes to his university. and I saw in the. story there were multiple girls there. He stopped answering me and hasn't. responded since. It's been a day with no. contact. I'm honestly considering.
breaking up with him over this. I've. caught him in lies before, but this is. just too much. The video of him and his. friends stomping the piñata was just so. disturbing. and to find out that my face. was on it. We were planning on moving in. together after graduation, but honestly, I don't know anymore. >> You're considering breaking up with him? Considering? >> Would I be the [ __ ] if I broke up. with him over this girl? Are you. serious? Would I be the [ __ ] being a.
woman as hell? This is the craziest. thing I've ever heard in my life. Even. if that piñata wasn't her, a piñata of. any woman is not okay. Piñatas should. only be things that don't exist like. dragons and [ __ ] That's how I feel. Yes, that's crazy. For him to be like, "It's just some random girl piñata is. just as bad." Also, if this were me, I. would not be on Reddit going, "Am I an. [ __ ] if I broke up with them?" I'd be. setting that frat house on fire. This is. the craziest story I've ever heard in my.
life. She's being too cool about it. >> I would completely upset. I really. appreciate that take though with piñatas. should only be fake because it. >> it is kind of crazy to like beat the. [ __ ] out of this thing that. >> is potentially real or like a character. that's I don't know. It's just weird. Like I've had a piñata that I thought. was so cute I felt bad hitting it. >> That's what I'm saying. >> Like and then this is looking like your. girlfriend. >> Yes. >> And you're stomping on it. Also, where.
did you go that makes piñatas that look. like a photo of your girlfriend? You. bring in a photo of your girlfriend and. you say, "Can you turn this into a. piñata?" And someone goes, "Right away, sir.". >> So, they do do it. >> They do. >> They do do it on Etsy. There are a bunch. of accounts that will make that will. make custom piñatas. >> Etsy is supposed to be a safe space. >> $200 for a custom piñata. And. >> well, for celebrities, I do get that. >> Yeah. You know, some celebrities deserve.
to be piñatas. >> Yeah. I mean, this one that kind of. looks like Guy Fiery Flavor Town. >> I cannot tell. That's not wellmade. A lot of them are just printed photos. >> A lot of them like that little like the. little girl. >> What? They made one of a little girl. I. guess if it's you and it's your party, that's okay. But that feels like. something that you would maybe think was. funny. And then once some people were. hitting the piñata version of you, you. might actually feel bad. Like I feel.
that way sometimes when I post old. pictures of me as a little kid and then. people comment on it and they go like, "Oh, I see why you're funny now. You. weren't that cute." And it's here's the. thing. It's okay when I say it. Well, it's okay when I say it. Maybe it's in. the caption, but then when other people. say it, I'm like, "I actually don't like. that. I actually don't like that other. people are doing it.". >> You I can say that about me, but you. can't. >> That's what I mean. But it's but in the. moment it feels like your idea to be. like yeah pinata everyone hit me and. then when they're doing it you're like I. don't like this action. >> This feels weird like Becky why are you.
hitting me so hard? >> Yes. >> Like do you hate me? Yeah. I wouldn't be. okay with this. And to be clear like. these are all custom piñatas. There's no. piñatas on any website that are just. blank with septum piercing. Like these. all are custom. This took time. Yeah. >> I don't know if you've ever had to make. something custom. >> piercing. I mean, she was like. >> it looks like me like my piercings on it. and I was like, "Yeah, that's you.". >> Cuz if it was just like,
>> "Oh, they have brown hair." They could. be like, "Oh, it's your celebrity. lookalike but like a specific. >> like it has my septum piercing and the. tattoo of my grandma's birthday." Like. he's like, "Ah, it's just a random one. We just found that.". >> Well, and the way he keeps lying. You. keep lying. You keep I've caught him in. lies before, but this really feels like. the last I'm like, you have photos to. prove it. And he's still lying to you. No one should be dating a 22-year-old. man and a frat. That's just not a thing.
that should be happening. Those men. should be single. >> Well, and he's like, I'd get kicked out. of my frat if I if I didn't kick the. [ __ ] out of a pinñata that looked like. you. Are those people you want to be. friends with? Is that who you want to be. around? Also, what have you been telling. them about me. >> where if they throw a surprise party for. you, they get you a piñata that looks. like me. What are you telling them? >> That would be my first thought, too. >> I'm scared. >> Yeah, but also, you know what? Sometimes. guys are just like, "It's your.
girlfriend. Of course you hate her." So, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. what you've said or haven't said. You. got this pin botta. You hit it. You. lied. >> You lied again. I hate him. >> Yeah. Everyone is on board. >> You said 22 frat. And I said break up. >> immediately no. >> I said immediately no. >> And the comments do too. Why would you. stay with him? He's lied to you before. and is lying now. You're so young. Go. live a wonderful life without somebody. who doesn't seem to value you. Next.
comment. Oh [ __ ] no. Dump him. If his. friends have a tradition of beating and. stomping on effiges of their. girlfriends, then the whole group is. garbage. Yep. >> Plus, he lied. And he's lied before. Ma'am, your man is a womanhating loser. Trust me, there are better men out. there. >> Yep. Go to the library, babe. >> Yeah. >> Stop looking at the frats. >> Bye-bye. Bye-bye, boy. I mean, so many. people are like, "Why even bother. talking to him? Just ghost him.".
>> Literally, just ghost him. >> He's kind of ghosting you right now. >> Yeah. Is there an update to this one? >> Uno. Reverse. Of course there is. >> It better be. She broke up with him. >> Of course there If it's not, I will. crash my car on the way home. >> Are you kidding me? No. Sorry. Read it. Read it. Sorry. >> Hi everyone. Thank you for all the. comments and messages. I've read each. and every one of them, and I'm truly. grateful for all the advice. >> Oh, no. >> Update. So, Matt texted me back after a. full day of incognito. He finally. admitted that yes, the piñata was. supposed to be me. He said it was just a.
joke and it was meant to be funny. I. told him how disrespectful and. disturbing that was. Mhm. >> I ended up breaking up with him. >> Yay. >> And I told him I wasn't going to stay. with a manchild who was going to. disrespect me for the fun of him and his. friends. He completely lost it and. begged me to stay. He was apologizing. and saying he didn't want to lose me and. blah blah blah blah blah. After I made. it clear I wasn't going to take him. back, he literally sent me a video of. him making out with that mutual friend.
I don't even know what the point of that. was. >> I feel sick to myself. I Do you ever. reason you're like, "Am I in college?". That That's the worst story I've ever. heard. >> From beginning to end, I feel sweaty. I. want to cry. That makes me so upset. >> That's crazy.
What. >> OP does go on to say? Okay, there's. >> maybe it was just a final f you. But I. honestly couldn't care at this point. I. now realized how immature he was, so I. just blocked him. >> This didn't even happen to me and I feel. nauseous. >> I don't even know what they look like. I. can't even picture them, but I feel like. I can see them, you know? >> So, yeah, most of you were right. He was. cheating on me. >> At least she left. Thank God. >> I know. I know. And like just goes on to.
say. >> he's a jerk. He's an immature manchild. Yes, I'm gonna be sending the video to. the university, though I doubt they'll. do anything. But yeah, this is the. update. >> What would the university do with that? >> I don't know. They could reprimand the. frat. >> Oh. Oh, of the piñata. I thought she. meant of him making out with that girl. And I was like, >> I think they were both of age. Like I. didn't I was confused for a second. No. Yes. Send the piñata picture for sure. which that is very disturbing watching a.
group of frat guys. >> do anything really but. >> but that like just like the visual of. like beating a woman pinata stomping on. it like. >> it's disturbing. >> It's not your bachelor party where that. would be fine. No, I'm kidding. I'm. joking. You thought I was getting. serious just off the rails. >> No, no. I'm like no. Oh, and if he had. proposed, like, of course, hit the. piñata, but this is just a casual. relationship. >> I know. Do people do piñatas for. >> I've never heard of this in my life.
>> No, usually it's like pin the tail on. the hunk or like seen those. >> I I don't know. I like the penis. Of. course. Yeah. No, I've never heard of. this getting a piñata that looks like. someone you know type of thing. >> I'm like I'm shocked there was like. multiple Etsy listings like this. business. >> I thought you could get a piñata of like. three things. I thought it was like. Garfield, Dora the Explorer, and Blue. >> Blue. Yeah, that's what I thought you. could pick from. I didn't know there was. more than that. >> I kind of want to get you one now just. so like not for you to break, but like.
just to have to take care of cuz you. would take care of. >> I would take care of you. >> Yeah, I there's a little door on the. back to take the candy out. >> Yeah, I know. Where do they place the. doors? Cuz a lot of times it would. probably be the crotch, which could be. in Is it. >> It's usually like a crotch. >> It's usually in the crotch on the. bottom. How piñatas have you smashed? >> Not many. But the unicorn, it's like. kind of like. >> Oh, yeah. I feel like it's always a. unicorn. >> Always a unicorn. >> See, a unicorn you could hit and feel no. guilt about. >> I still felt bad. >> Really?
>> I'm an empath. >> Oh, we. know. Empaths can't can't be anywhere. near a piñata. >> No, wait. I I did tear up a little. >> It was that cute, huh? >> Yeah, that and like some little. 5-year-old stole my Twix. >> Yeah. >> Like it was devastating. Okay, let's get you on to this next one. >> Okay, >> maybe it'll be better. >> Maybe. I don't think so, though. >> So, this is titled me, 25 female, with. my boyfriend, 26, male, of 6 months. I'm.
about to break up with him over a. backpack, but I need to know if I'm. overreacting. >> Okay. >> My boyfriend, Jacob, and I have been. together for a year and a half now. We. met through mutual friends about 2 years. ago. Jacob is a very laid-back guy, and. maybe since I have a lot of anxiety, that attracted me to him. The past 6. months have been fun and without. incident until now. I thought Jacob was. a caring and thoughtful person, and I. really saw a future with him, but now.
I'm really reconsidering. Background. info. I have a backpack that is covered. with patches. Before this happened, I. had about 35 patches sewn onto it. This. is a project that I started when I was. 14. and I needed a backpack for high. school. Over the years, I collected. patches from all the shows, concerts, and plays I've gone to. When I studied. abroad and visited new cities and. museums, gifts from friends and family, etc. When I was 20, the bottom of my.
backpack ripped out, so I got a new one. and carefully removed and reattached the. patches. I don't carry a purse. I carry. this backpack literally every day. >> What the [ __ ] did he do? It might seem. silly, but a lot of my personal history. and favorite memories are tied sewn into. this backpack. >> I would die for this backpack. >> On Wednesday, Jacob and I were hanging. out at my place watching Netflix with. two mutual friends. My apartment has a. larger living room than his does, so we. tend to hang out in my place. I had to.
go to work early Thursday morning, so I. went to bed a little earlier and just. told Jacob to lock up before he came to. bed. The next morning, I go about. getting ready for work and go to put. some things in my backpack. That's when. I notice it's missing patches. 11 to be precise. I immediately woke. Jacob up, basically panicking, asking. what happened. He told me that he had. invited three of his friends over after. I'd gone to sleep. Apparently, they. texted him because they were bar hopping.
nearby and he told them to come over. At. some point, one of them saw my backpack. sitting in the living room and said it. was cool and they wanted one like it. And Jacob told them that they could have. some of the patches if they wanted. So, they cut they cut 11 patches off of my. bag. I was livid. I still am. I can't. really describe how betrayed I feel. A. few of my patches were gifts from my. father who passed away last year. He.
always loved helping me find new patches. and bought me three limited release. patches that are now very expensive and. difficult to find. Those are all gone. I. had one patch that my dad bought in 1994. and let me have. It's gone as well. >> Wait, does he know these people? These. friends he could get them back from. these friends. >> I don't know why I'm like about to cry. with this. >> This is the worst thing I've ever heard. since the last one. What is happening when you have kids.
with this man and he has friends over. and they say, "Oh, I'd like a daughter. someday." Will he go take mine? >> It's all gone. Patches from my study. abroad trip are gone, too. I feel so so. devastated. I'm not proud of my. reaction. I flipped the [ __ ] out. A lot. of what the [ __ ] were you thinking and. how could you do this? I told him he had. to call his friends that were over and. get all of the patches back. He said he. would for the ones from my dad, but he. would look too bad if he asked for the.
rest that quote didn't mean as much. I. asked him if he cared more about looking. like a jackass to them or me. He. hesitated and I freaked out and I told. him he had to leave. I messaged the. people I know were over on Facebook and. I got a response back from one person, one of the mutual friends. He brought my. patches back Thursday night. >> All of them? He said he thought it was. weird that Jacob offered, but went along. with it and apologized. So now I only.
have nine patches missing. I know it. sounds silly, but I just feel so sick. over it. I texted Jacob today about. getting my dad's patches back, and he. just said he was going to contact them. on the weekend. What's the point of. waiting? I talked to a couple of close. friends about what happened, and I told. them I wanted to break up over this. They both saw this as an overreaction. and that I should just let it go and get. more patches. Everyone seems to think.
because patches are cheap, I shouldn't. be so upset and I should forgive him. >> Oh, are your friend's dad's alive? Sounds like they are. >> I need to know if I'm overreacting. My. feelings are maybe I was being. hysterical when I confronted Jacob and I. didn't deal with it in the best way, but. he hasn't been proactive about fixing. the situation. He only texted me once to. tell me that he was contacting his. friends on the weekend. I'm so. frustrated and hurt, and I'm not sure. how I will ever trust him again after. this. And before anyone asks, he.
absolutely knew what this backpack meant. to me. Once we were about a month into. dating, he asked me to give him the. backstory to each and every patch, and. he's seen me carry it every day. You ever see a video on TikTok and all. the comments and it's like a woman. talking about her relationship and all. the comments are like, "That man hates. you.". >> Yeah, >> that's how I feel about this. >> Couldn't have said it better. >> I think your reaction was absolutely.
understandable, warranted. I think the. only argument I could make for a. different reaction is from the. standpoint of getting the patches back. and manipulating him into doing that is. maybe if you had gently cried that would. have made him feel worse or something. Whereas now because you and I'm using. your words flipped out he can go well. she's overreacting whatever. >> She's an emotional woman. >> Yeah. She's being so emotional. But also.
I don't know. I still think he probably. would have been like, "It's not that big. a deal." Your friends saying that you're. overreacting do not have dead parents. >> Who are these friends? >> Because what the [ __ ] is wrong with you? >> My friends would never ever ever say. that [ __ ] to me. Even if they did think. I was overreacting, which we've all had. those moments, they'd be like, "Morgan, you're so valid for your feelings, but. you know, do you think you could address. it maybe this way?" Like, they'd be. helpful, but they wouldn't just. immediately gaslight me. Also, what who.
in this group of friends is your. boyfriend trying to [ __ ] that he doesn't. want to ask for a patch back? Like, why. is that a big deal? Why do you think. those friends are going to be like, "No, you you're such a [ __ ] loser. You. said we could have these." Like, I'm. sure they don't care that much. >> Yeah. You want to save face that bad? >> Yes. >> That is weird. Who are you trying to. impress? Also, it's so weird to just be. like, "Oh, yeah, you like that. You can.
have that. You can cut those patches. off. >> I thought when she said I told him to. lock up, I thought it was going to be. that someone broke in and stole her. backpack and that would have been more. like complicated. This is so. straightforward. That guy's a dick. >> Yeah. Is there an update? >> Yeah, eventually. >> Oh, no. >> But you're lucky we're coming across. this now. So, this actually came up. We've got a friend, his name's Direct. Caterpillar, Matt. He's like Reddit guru. and I had him on and I was asking him. like what's your favorite, you know,
post you've had recently and he. recommended this one because OP came. back on Matt's post on it on best of. Redditor updates and left a comment with. a 10year later update. This was 10 years. ago. >> 10 years ago this happened. >> I should have known patches on a. backpack. I should have known this was. like five iPhones ago. >> It's like coming back though. >> Is it? >> It's coming back.
>> Maybe that's why it means so much to us. because we don't have. >> nostalgia. >> Yeah. I mean, if this happened now, it. would be even worse because you've. managed. >> to hold on to something that precious. and special in a world where no one. cares about that and everything's. digital. >> Yeah. >> This makes me so sick. 10 years later. >> 10. >> If she's married to this guy, >> I will burn this studio to the ground. >> We got married. We had a baby. >> They did not. If they did, I I can't. handle it. Don't do that to me. >> Of course, all the comments. You're not.
overreacting. Like, comments really did. steer her in the right direction. Thank. God because her friends in real life. weren't, which again just goes to show. how powerful Reddit can be because. otherwise she would have been like, I. actually I was a little, >> you know, >> of course. Yes. And and I've definitely. overreacted to so many things in my. life, so you can trust me. >> You did not this time. No, >> I'd be the first one to say it cuz I've. been there. >> So, update 10 years later.
>> responding to the top comment for. visibility. This was me. I'm surprised I. could still log into this Reddit. account. It was a throwaway. It's been. so long since this happened. Through the. course of everything, I learned that my. ex wasn't laidback. He just didn't give. a [ __ ] Very different things. >> I did get all of my patches back. >> Oh, thank [ __ ] I could not handle it if. I didn't get those patches back. I was.
trying to be cool, BUT I REALLY I REALLY. COULDN'T HANDLE IT. >> Oh my god. Making me cry. >> Okay, thank God. Oh, okay people. >> I was like way too close to my beard for. this. >> Oh my god. Okay, sorry. I'm okay. >> I don't care. >> A few people were very apologetic and. immediately went out of their way to. return them. A few people I had to show. up at their place with a friend in tow.
>> Good. Looking someone in the eyes and. saying, quote, "You have a patch that my. dead father gave me when I was 14 worked. pretty well. >> I'm obsessed with her.". >> Basically, all of them blamed my ex. It's okay. I blamed him, too. He truly. never apologized. He just wanted me to. be less mad without actually fixing. anything. I was very passive then, and I. don't think I had ever been as angry as. that moment. I went scorched earth and I.
told everyone what he did. He was mad. about that, but I didn't care. He. shouldn't have done it if he didn't want. me to talk about it. A few of my friends. apologized for taking his side, but our. friendship wasn't ever really the same. after that. >> No, dead to me. >> Months, maybe even a year after all of. this went down, my sister and I were. going through a storage unit of my dad's. to clear it out. We found one of his old. backpacks. Nothing special, just a Jan. Sport. I cleaned it out and that was the.
new base. I still have it to this day. and I've added new patches since. >> What the [ __ ] you guys? That you know. what? >> I don't know where that man is, but I. hope he never knows peace. I Cuz the. only thing that you should think when. your girlfriend shows you a backpack. full of patches is, well, she's going to. be easy to shop for. That should be your. only thought. Every special moment, every holiday patch. >> covered.
>> You had it made, dude. >> You know how you propose? With a patch. >> With a patch. You [ __ ] up so hard. >> And I hope I hope you are in hell. wherever you are. I hope that life is. never easy for you. >> Both sides of the pillow. Hot. >> Hot. >> Sweaty as you sleep every night. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> I hope you're married to someone evil. who won't divorce you. That's what I. hope for that man. >> Oh, yeah. No prenup. >> No prenup. >> He made a lot of money since, so it.
really hurts. >> Yeah. >> A lot of money, but you're empty inside. >> Yeah. No. No. Like, and you maybe you. did have a lot of money, but now you're. you're going through bankruptcy. >> Yes. And everyone thinks you still have. money, so you still have to pay for. everything when you go out to dinner, but you don't have any money. >> No. And you care about your ego so much. that you're like putting it on a credit. card that's like 26% interest. And. >> And you're hiding it from everyone in. your life. >> Yeah. And your wife is leaving you for. someone else. Maybe your best friend. even. Yes, but won't legally divorce. you. >> Insane. >> We should be God.
>> Absolutely. >> We'd be so good at it. >> How do you even go on from there? I. don't know. But we must. >> But we must. >> We must. >> That one was I That one was better. That. was like a nice update. >> Little satisfying. >> Yeah. >> And at least At least they've both. broken up with both of them. >> So too satisfying. >> Yeah. Okay. But that one was like really. satisfying cuz she got all the patches. back and stuff and she didn't have to. watch a video of him having sex with. someone wearing one of her patches or.
whatever. Like that was so crazy. >> Oh my gosh. >> Oh, you couldn't pay me to be in my 20s. again? >> No. Hell. This episode is brought to you. by Skiims.

Like. >> on my bed? >> Yeah. >> One. >> Okay. >> Is that wrong? >> No. I feel like that's normal. So, >> does that have more? >> You'll have You'll have an interest. >> I'll get another one. I'll get more. >> I actually do have two mattresses.
stacked in my guest room right now. >> cuz I went through a phase of like I got. a mattress from Costco. I I didn't like. it and I needed something more. comfortable, but then it's like I didn't. want to return it cuz I'll have a guest. room for it eventually. But. >> that's honestly so smart. I've actually. never thought about that, but you could. just stack one. >> Mhm. I can't get on the bed. >> Oh, I need a step stool to get on it. >> Oh, okay. Well, that's kind of fun and. dainty and cute. >> Princess and the pee a little bit. >> It is. >> Okay. So, this is about mattresses. >> This is about Well, is it about the.
mattress? >> I can't wait to find out. >> Well, we'll see. This is coming from r/. AIO. Basically, am I overreacting? >> Okay. >> Am I overreacting for disliking my. boyfriend's anniversary gift? Me, 21, female, and my boyfriend, 33, male. >> Uh, no. Sorry. Absolutely not. I know that's not the. subject, but no. I don't like something. I don't. >> You're like, >> forget the gift. I DON'T LIKE SOMETHING.
THAT'S HAPPENING. >> You're like everyone's voice. This is. what they they sound like in their cars. at the gym. They're like, "Nope.". Immediately, no. >> I do. I feel like I'm listening to this. podcast in MY CAR GOING, "NO." OH, ON. THE FREEWAY. Oh my god. Okay. And she's. just asking about the gift. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Had our oneyear anniversary yesterday. >> So since you were 20. So since you were. 20 you've been together. Okay. >> I got him several things that I knew.
he'd like and had mentioned over the. past several months. I wrote him a. thoughtful long note and I bought him. flowers. He got me $20 lily and wrote a. three-s sentence note and we went to. dinner. I like flowers, but I have told. him several times over the past several. months that I do not like roses or. liies. When he gave me my gift, I. managed to contain my disappointment and. I told him I liked the flowers and note. After he gave me my stuff, he opened a.
$215. pillow that he had bought himself. >> What? His main hobby is mattresses and. pillows and bedding. We had drank a. little bit at our dinner. So, honestly, this kind of triggered me and I had. started tearing up, but gave another. excuse for it. He kept pressing me as to. why I was upset. And I told him that. there were several cheap things that I. had mentioned that I would want as gifts. the past several months, and I got a.
type of flower that he should know I. don't like. I also said I was upset that. he got me nothing, but I had to watch. him open an expensive thing he bought. for himself for the 10th time that. month. After this happened, he threw the. flowers he bought me at me and started. yelling about how ungrateful and how I. was a [ __ ] I just went upstairs after. that and he slept in the living room. For context, I make significantly less. money than he does. He makes 4,000 plus.
every month and we live in a low cost of. living area. He regularly buys himself. expensive things and has a mattress. hobby that he has spent thousands on. Just buy new mattresses and sheets and. pillows. There are six mattresses in our. little apartment. Just last week, he. bought over $300 worth of sunglasses and. a $2,100 bar of silver. >> A a silver bar. >> This spending is typical for him. I will.
add a photo of the mattresses so people. don't think I'm trolling. My main issue. is that I was thoughtful for him and. spent my minimal money to buy him things. he had mentioned because I pay attention. to what he likes. A year is a special. milestone in a relationship. I feel like. he pays no attention to me or my. interests and doesn't know me as a. person. None of the things I wanted were. expensive at all. I just would have felt. seen if he remembered what I liked and. got me it. I told him these things and.
he called me ungrateful. Am I. overreacting for not liking the gift? >> Can I see a picture of the. >> Oh, you know I'm getting it. >> And I believe you. >> What? >> Describe it for the people. >> There are three mattresses stacked next. to a bed with one mattress on it. So, there's a stack of mattresses higher. than the bed right next to the bed in a. very small room. Oh my god, there's. five. Oh, >> there's one leaned up against the wall.
You're right. I. >> I think this one is a Casper, too. Like, they're Casper is pretty nice mattress. >> These look like nice mattresses. >> They all do. Look at how thick that one. is. >> And they do look different. What year. was this posted? I must know. >> This is from August 28th of this year. A. couple days ago. >> What? >> Couple days ago. >> This is happening now. >> Literally now. >> And you have an update? >> Yeah. Thank God. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, we.
could actually make a difference. >> We could definitely make a difference. cuz that update might it I don't know. what the update is. I have not read it. It could be like you guys are. overreacting. He's actually just like a. super nice guy. No, >> I think it's weird to say that buying. mattresses is a hobby. That is not a. hobby. That is a hoarder. >> That is a hoarding situation. >> Yeah. >> A hobby. If you wanted to say mattress. hobby, that would be like we like to go. to mattress stores and try them out on. Sunday afternoons. I'll give you that.
>> A lot of people that is all they pull. from this. His main hobbies are. mattresses. >> That is what people are talking about. >> Yeah. They got a little lost in. >> the age, not the gifts. Wow. >> No. Um, let's let's talk about the age. >> Yeah. Let's talk about it. >> cuz I I don't think, you know, when I. was younger, I don't think I really. understood age gaps. >> That's kind of like my actually never. mind because it's like I'm I'm 18. I'm. mature enough to be dating a. 26-year-old, 28.
>> No big deal. >> Sorry to OP. We've all done it. >> We've all done it. >> We've all done it. We don't mean to be. judgmental. >> 20. And we're not judging. We just like. we want so much more for you. >> Yes. and he is not uh an emotionally, mentally. ready to date anyone person. If when you. try to explain your feelings, he then. says you're an ungrateful [ __ ] and. throws flowers at you. >> And let me tell you something, no.
offense to anyone who's 21. If you are. 21 and someone in their mid-30s wants to. date you, they want to date you because. they think you are not going to have any. expectations of them. That's why they're. not dating someone who is their age. Because someone their age would have. expectations. So when you start to have. expectations of them, they're going to. get angry and throw flowers at you cuz. they're going to go, "You're 21. You're. not supposed to know. >> to ask for more. That's why I'm here.". >> No. Shit's now hitting the mattress. Like. >> I can't buy my silver bars. I can't go.
buy my. >> silver bars. >> mattress. >> is the craziest thing I've ever heard in. my life. >> I mean, I've heard about buying gold. bars. Everyone now is like, "Don't even. invest your money in the stock market. Buy a gold bar." Not financial advice. The least financial savvy person, but. I've heard gold bars, but silver. >> That's so I. >> thought silver were was in coins. >> I want to see a picture of the silver. bar, too. Did she? >> We don't have that. I wish. >> I wish. That's what I want a picture of. I believed the mattresses. The silver.
bar. I just want I believe her. I just. want to see it. >> Well, it could potentially look like. this. I googled silver bar. 1 kilo. Literally, what is that for? >> Collecting. >> Oh my god. Okay, >> collecting. >> So, everyone in the comments is focused. on the mattresses. >> Yeah, they really did. It feels like. they got a little lost in the sauce. there. >> People do question, is this rage bait? Like, age gap. >> You're already living together. >> It feels like rage bait. >> Mattress hobby. >> But I really don't think it is. I think.
this is someone that because I've been. this person where you start dating. someone and everything feels so great. and perfect and then it, you know, >> you keep buying mattresses, >> one mattress too many and the camel's. back gets broken. >> Like it's just like the rosecolored. glasses has come off. >> And like again 20, >> oh my god, a 32-year-old wants to date. me. I'm such an old soul. Like a lot of. us have been in those shoes. thousand%.
>> So, I don't think it's rage bait. I do. think it's someone coming and being. like, "This is probably the first real. relationship she's had, doesn't have. anything to compare it to, and is like, am I overreacting? Like, please help. >> No, you're underreacting. You're dating. a weirdo, and you need to get out of. there.". >> Yeah. So, interesting thing about this one, we do. get an update, but it is from the. boyfriend. He found the post.
>> I hate this man. I hate You're kidding. Okay, let me. Let's hear it. Hi, everyone. Since this. person has glamorized and made me look a. specific way, which was tailored to. engineer the public view to her side of. the situation, I decided to create she's okay. >> to clarify some things which will be. listed below. Mattresses. The bed we. sleep on affects every other part of our. lives. If we sleep improperly, we have.
chronic quality of life inhibitor which. will cause a person to have a shorter, more unhealthy life and inhibit their. overall productivity and their lives as. a whole. When I first started. researching them, I realized it was a. huge rabbit hole and that there were so. many options. It took forever to pick. the first one for our apartment and I. realized it's probably like this for. many others. It's just hard to know what. to pick and if you pick the wrong one, you're stuck with this massive thing in. your house that's ruining your quality.
of life. Let me clarify that I. acknowledge six mattresses is. ridiculous. It's just a thing that built. up over time as I learned the different. ways they are constructed. Multiple of. the beds I got were for heavy discounts. I was very interested in learning the. properties of different layers and how. they affect our sleep. He's still. talking about it, >> which is also the case for pillows. >> Okay.
>> The girlfriend criticized my hobby, but. in our free time has repeatedly told me. she loves sleeping on my bed and uses my. pillows for comfort. I like seeing her. sleep well on my beds. They make her. feel better, which despite how stupid. she says it is, she still sleeps awesome. on them, and that always made me happy. Another note, I'm not attempting to. absolve myself of the matter of fact. that it is kind of hoarding. >> Thank you.
>> Once again, as I learned about how. things are put together, it started to. interest me. How different companies. construct different things that we use. to improve our lives. My first ever. hobby was health and nutrition. >> What is going on? Are you serious? It's never ending. He goes on to talk. about just like how our bodies work and. herbs, foods, vitamins. I've helped many. other people improve their health. I'm. like starting to be like, are you. starting a mattress MLM?
>> I'm really scared. He basically blabs on. but does kind of end on, I'm planning to. decrease the amount of bedding items in. my apartment. But the thing is, this. wasn't supposed to be the entire. internet's business. I didn't realize. that the person I was living with was. the type to tell the entire internet. everything about me. I work all the time. and I only have one friend in person who. I can hang out with sometimes. So, when. she, the girlfriend, is not around, I. become extremely lonely and I have. nothing to do. And I recognize. mattresses might be ridiculous, but the.
fact is I sleep better than I ever have. in my life. She has been. And anyone. else who has listened to me about what. to do sleeps better than they ever have. in their lives. That's a big. accomplishment. She can't say she's. helped anyone sleep better by having. this information. Instead, the guy who. helps people all day gets criticized on. the internet. >> Okay, he's probably listening to this, so we. should probably just say, "I think. you're right. I think you're right and. you should break up with her.
>> I do. I think you should break up with. her. >> Dump her. She's. >> dump her now. >> Not understanding. >> Set her free. I mean, loose. >> Passion. >> Let her go. You're so right. And you. know what? I don't know what it's like. to to be posted about on Reddit with. pictures of my mattresses. And that. sounds that sounds bad. That sounds like. it sucks. I don't know. >> How invasive. >> That sounds invasive. If I saw pictures. of my of my unmade bed online, I would. actually probably feel upset. So, I do I.
I can. >> I can see it from that perspective. >> Only also for someone that collects. pillows, he only has one pillow on his. bed and there's no top sheet. So, clearly not a bedding connoisseur. >> I look it's Thank you very much. Well, I. think what we've learned is that the two. of them are well suited for each other. in that they are both focused on the. mattresses. instead of the relationship. It seems I.
think Well, I think she brought up the. mattresses to to show that he spends a. lot of money. Is that what it was? >> Yeah. >> Because if she had just talked about the. anniversary gift, I think people would. have. been like, "Yeah, no, we're on your. side. That stinks.". >> Yeah. But I think she's trying to cover. all her bases and be like, "No, he. spends money on things. It's not that. he's not trying to spend money or. something. >> He's not cheap. He's not frugal.". >> It really those the mattresses really. got us away from the original ask. >> which was about the gift.
>> He does he talk about does he address. that? >> He does go on. So he goes on to say, "So. excuse me for not picking out the right. flowers. I have a lot to remember and. focus on. I did not pick that bouquet of. flowers in an effort to insult her. I. spent 15 minutes looking at the. available options and liked the ones I. picked for her because of how beautiful, lively looking, and colorful they were. It was not my intention to make her feel. inferior, as I did not care about her. This is how she interpreted it. I. figured dressing up, going to an.
expensive Italian restaurant, me putting. on my favorite fragrance for her, then. spending $70 there so we could have a. good time was a nice gesture for her. We. had driven the whole day beforehand. We. were tired, but I still wanted to try. and do what I could to make the day fun. for her. She also included I only wrote. a three sentence letter. I put my. feelings into that and it was not three. sentences. What are we doing? Competing. to see who does better for the other. I. was supposed to spend and buy more than. she bought me so she wouldn't feel.
upset. She said I threw the flowers at. her. I did not throw them at her. I hit. the table with them because apparently. this bouquet of flowers that was. beautiful and vibrant that I thought. hard about to pick. I spent 15 minutes. looking through all the options was not. good enough. I even spent $16 on a. 12-pack for us to drink for the night so. we could have fun together. Which also. if I threw the flowers at her, how come. only her foot got hit by them? >> I am. so glad I'm single. this because look,
these are the type of fights that you. have when you're in a long-term. relationship and there's an anniversary. and people's expectations aren't met and. one person thinks they did a good job. and the other person feels like they. didn't do a good job and then the other. person gets mad. Like this is this is a. very common fight in relationships and. it just sounds as though you two are not. compatible. and that is okay. >> It's time to be done. It's just time to. be done. Cuz when you get into these.
fights, and I've been there, when you're. having these fights where you go, "Well, how could you feel that way?" Because I. did XYZ. And they go, "Well, how could. you feel this way?" Cuz I did XYZ. And. what you said isn't exactly what. happened. And like it's once you're. getting down to to that stuff, it is I. think it's over. I think it's over. >> I mean, this is just a dream. >> When you're both on Reddit, >> Yeah. you're fighting in Reddit posts. >> It's over, guys. >> It's done. Yeah. I will say this is. giving very real account. The original.
account from the girl. >> Yeah, >> very real account. A part of the 2-year. club on Reddit verified email posting in. Nathan subreddits. Nathan Felder. Fielder. >> Okay. Wait, so then is the boyfriend. account brand new? >> So boyfriend. does appear to have made a throwaway to. kind of come and respond to this. How do. we know that's really the boyfriend? >> You know, there's no guarantee, but I. will say OP did not reply back to this.
person and be like, "This isn't you.". >> So, I also think providing the. additional info of like Italian. restaurant, I spent $16 on a case of. beer. Like, these are details that I. think OP then could be like, "Where are. you getting this?" Like, that never. happened. So, there's no rebuttal. >> Okay. So, is that post under her post? >> Mhm. >> It's a response to her original post. Okay. Got it. Got it. Got it.
>> She also confirms here in a comment, "It. got deleted because he didn't know how. to format it for this subreddit. It was. a bunch of rambling about mattresses and. how they impact our quality of life and. how I suck and I'm ungrateful. If he. makes a new one, I'll tell him to format. it correctly.". >> So, basically, confirming. >> to format it correctly. Mhm. Yeah. OP's. like all he had to do is get me yarn. OP. is very involved in r/ crochet. subreddit. >> She just wanted yarn. >> Just wanted a yarn. Yarn ball. Simple.
I feel like you could have I was going. to say Joann's, but RIP. >> That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. again. All I wanted was a ball of yarn. >> Just wanted some yarn. Yarn. Couple of. little balls. >> Did she get him again? She got him something that was 200. >> flowers. >> But she got him something else that was. $200. >> Nice card. Well, his pillow was $200. >> Oh, she got him a $200 pillow. >> He brought back himself. >> Oh, okay. So, they both got each other.
flowers. >> They did. >> And a card. I thought she got him a. gift. >> She got him a thoughtful long note and. got him flowers. It seems like she's. kind of a gift giver. Like that's her. >> See, and you know what? That is a great. You're so right. This is a difference in. love languages. >> Yeah. >> Some people really care about gifts, other people don't. >> It sounds like you really care about. gifts and that's completely okay. >> Yeah. >> And someone else and he really cares. about mattresses and someone else will.
really like that. >> That's great. >> There is there is truly someone for. everyone. I really believe that. >> Yeah. >> I think that. >> I do too. >> Whatever you want, you can find that if. you're determined enough. >> I'm with you. I completely agree. Not a. match. you're 21, go live your best of. life. Go find a boy that maybe wants to. go learn how to crochet with you and I. don't know or buys you yarn at the very. least. >> Yeah. >> And you know what? >> Time to go. >> Yeah. There will be a a woman who comes.
over, sees how many mattresses there are. and be like, "This is awesome.". >> Yeah. >> Seriously. We'll be like, "Can I try. them all out right now? >> Let's build a fort. >> Let's build a fort." Literally, this is. what I'm saying. >> Yeah. And it look a lot of men don't. care how well you sleep. That's true. >> Someone might get off on that. You care. about how I sleep. >> You care about how I sleep. Truly. Like. some people don't, you know. Yeah. >> A lot of men don't care about how how. nice their mattress is. So that's.
I'm trying to have a balance, too. >> No, I I I like your You're bringing back. that hopeful from your first time here, and it's it's very very positive. >> It's mostly the age gap that I take. issue with, if we're being totally. honest. It just seems like a big age. gap. And it it also is like. >> I think the issues are a reflection of. the age gap. Like. >> at 21, you want a nice gift. You want. jewelry from your boyfriend. At 33, you. want a good night's sleep. I think that. that is I truly think. >> Yeah. No, >> I think a 33-year-old woman, which is. basically me,
would love somebody who was like, I want. a really nice mattress and we'll go to a. nice dinner. like that is a 30 something. situation. And then when I was 21, yes, I wanted flowers and I wanted a gift and. I wanted more than three sentences in a. note. At 30some, I have different. priorities. I really think it's down to. the age. >> I would agree with that. I just Yeah. No, I can't I can't even I just I'm over. it. >> How long have we been talking about. this? Cuz I feel like I can't remember a.
time that I didn't know about this. >> It's It's too long. And this next one I. feel like. >> we'll cut it down. We'll edit it down. You're also going to wish that you. didn't know about this. >> Oh no. >> And now it's time for STFU, please. Brought to you by Chrysler. We all know. a person or two who just sometimes needs. to STFU. Luckily, the newly designed. Chrysler Pacifica gives it a much nicer. meaning. Seats that fold up with.
stowandgo seating and storage. Storage. that's finally useful. thanks to all. that cargo space and sucked that from. under with the available StowandGo. vacuum. Now, here is someone that maybe. could have benefited from an STFU. You decide. How big into potatoes are. you? Are you a potato girl? >> I like potatoes. >> What style? >> I like a sweet potato. >> Okay, >> is that good for this?
>> That's perfect. >> Okay, great. >> So, this is coming from Am I the. [ __ ] It is titled, "Am I the [ __ ]. for saying my boyfriend's mom's mashed. potatoes are weird?". So, this is so stupid, but now it's a. whole thing. I've been with my boyfriend. for 5 years, and his family does Sunday. dinner a lot. I go most of the time. It's whatever. Last weekend, we're there. and his mom made mashed potatoes. I grab. some. Cool. I take a bite and.
immediately I'm like, question mark, question mark, question mark. Why are. these sweet? Not like a little sweet, like actually sweet. So, I just go, quote, "Wait, are these sweet?" Kind of. laughing because I thought maybe I was. losing it. And she goes, "Yeah, that's. how I make them." I just said, "Oh, I've. never had sweet mashed potatoes before.". Like, I'm not trying to be rude. I was. just confused. And it got awkward for no.
reason. Dead quiet. I tried to just eat. them anyways, but I genuinely couldn't. It tasted like dessert with gravy, and. my brain was not having it. So, I just. stopped eating them and kept eating the. rest of it. She then notices and goes, quote, "You don't like them." And I. said, "They're just a bit sweet for me.". And then my boyfriend jumps in like, "They're not even sweet." Which, question mark, question mark, question. mark. They literally are. And then his.
mom makes a comment like, quote, "Some. people just aren't used to real. cooking." Which kind of annoyed me. So I. said, "I just didn't expect mashed. potatoes to taste like cake." And yeah, that did not go over well. Dinner got. super awkward. We left and in the car, my boyfriend says that I embarrassed him. and I should apologize. But like, I. wasn't even rude at first. I only said.
that after she made that comment. Now. she's upset and acting like I started. something. I don't know. This feels so. dumb. But am I actually in the wrong. here? Edit to add. I'm 23. These were. normal russet potatoes that tasted like. there was a lot of brown sugar added to. them. I have somehow avoided eating. these monstrous potatoes for 5 years. because normally we either have roasted. potatoes or do a potluck style. and. boyfriend's sister-in-law brings the. mashed potatoes. I'm not from the US. We.
are all from Canada. Born and raised. >> Everyone's from Canada. >> All of them. She just liked a sweet. >> Okay, that really that makes a lot more. sense because I was like, why does. everyone think that's a rude comment? And it's because Canadians are so nice. >> and so polite. >> that you saying, "Oh, that's. interesting. I've never had them that. way." in Canada is probably the. equivalent of like flipping the potatoes. off.
>> You think. >> I think they're so nice over there that. that probably felt really mean and. aggressive. But I cuz I was very. confused. I'm like, who cares if. someone's like, "Oh, I've never had them. that way." Now, maybe you said it. differently, but the way you wrote it, it doesn't sound that crazy. >> This feels chill. >> And then, yeah, the cake comment was a. little that was a little rude. But the. cake comment came after the mom said. some people just aren't used to real. cooking. >> And that's the moment where you go, >> "Yeah, I guess not. Who cares?".
>> Are you able to bite your tongue? >> I think so. Now I am. Maybe not when I. was younger. When I was younger, I could. at 23. Probably not. >> But now. >> I'm having a hard time at 32. >> Really? >> I don't know what's gone into me. I feel. like I used to be very just like don't. rock the boat. Go, you know, be soft, be. malleable, be what's that that little, you know, jewels. >> Very demir. >> Demir. Yes. >> Very mindful. >> See, I think maybe we've switched places.
then because I think you either spend. your younger years trying not to rock. the boat and then you get older and then. you're annoyed. >> I'm annoyed. >> and resentful that you kept. >> implicating people. >> Yes. And I spent my younger years saying. everything, >> being embarrassed and feeling bad. And. now I'm like, you know what? It's not. worth it. I need to get back to that. place cuz now I'm just like God. I'm. getting like a little argumentative and. it's like it doesn't matter. You're not. going to see that person. They live. across the country from you. It's fine. >> Yeah. >> And I'm just like oh my god. Just shut. >> I'm just tired. I'm too tired. I I only.
have one mattress at my place and I'm. getting old and I just don't I it I have. to care so much to fight about something. now. >> I just don't care that much. I need to get back there. I need that. inner peace again. >> Is it inner peace or is it just kind of. like exhaustion. >> and surrender? >> It can come by means of exhaustion. Exhaustion. But it does bring inner. peace.
>> Yes. Like I do think depending on the. situation obviously there's a lot of. nuance and context whatever but like in. general like otherwise cuz like I still. say this [ __ ] and then I go home and I'm. like god was that [ __ ] and then you. ruminate on saying something. It's like. I'd rather ruminate on not saying. something than saying something and just. making the relationship even more tense. and just like. >> yep. Is this a moment she should have. stfued? >> I think. >> just shut up. I mean, we can only do we.
can only move forward, right? >> Okay. >> Just apologize. Who cares? >> Yeah. Just say sorry. >> Sorry, I didn't mean to. >> Oh, be the bigger person. >> Yeah. So, who cares? >> Okay. Do you think or dump him or not? >> Option B. >> Yeah. I think everybody got too worked. up about these [ __ ] potatoes. >> Yeah. This is a big deal. Maybe it's. like a grandma's recipe and she's just. deeply offended. I think I think that it. seems like the mom is pretty sensitive. and that's probably something to flag if. this is somebody you're trying to like.
marry. >> because. I mean him being like you need to. apologize you embarrassed me is very. different than going look my mom's. sensitive about her cooking just just. maybe say sorry the next time we're. there like I know I don't think you were. being rude either but but him being like. you embarrassed me. I don't know. >> Why are you embarrassed? That's an. interesting feeling to unpack from him. Like why are you embarrassed, >> but it's also you're on your mom's team.
and not mine. The way you put it, if you. would have came to her like that, then. it's like you're still on my team, but. like ah babe, like let's just not rock. the boat with my mom. Like she's a. little goofy about butter potatoes. >> Yes. My mother is a perfect angel and. you embarrassed me in front of her is. >> red flag. It's a little scary. overall. comments. They think not the [ __ ]. >> Okay. >> They're like, "Not the [ __ ] That. sounds like a crime against mashed. potatoes.". >> I mean, yeah, look, it doesn't sound.
good. I mean, I'm on your team as far as. the recipe goes, >> but it's who cares? >> Well, a lot of comments do point out the. politeness, like, "Oh, well, just be. polite to take a couple bites." OP did. take a couple bites. Really gave it a. go. Said I couldn't get my brain on. board. So, I'm just going to not eat. them rather than gag at this table. >> And then the mom brought it back up. again. Just stirring the pot. So, I. don't think not like no [ __ ] unless.
the mom being a little cheeky. >> I was just a little like sensitive. >> Yeah. Pipe down. >> No [ __ ] It's just like come on. guys. >> So, we do get an update. >> on this. >> Of course. >> Wow. >> Not the update I thought I'd be posting. I talked to my boyfriend again and. everything because it was still. bothering me. Mostly how he handled it. at dinner. It kind of turned into a. bigger conversation than I had expected. Basically, I realized that this isn't. the first time he's sided with his.
family to avoid conflict and left me to. deal with it. I think I've just ignored. it before, but this time it actually got. to me. We ended up arguing about it and. it brought up a bunch of other stuff. that we probably should have talked. about a while ago. Long story short, we. broke up. >> There we go. >> It wasn't really over mashed potatoes, but that situation definitely made me. look at things differently. I know that. probably sounds dramatic to some people, but after 5 years, I didn't really want.
to keep brushing stuff off anymore. >> Wow, I'm surprised it's been 5 years. That sounded like something that. happened early on. >> that you go, "Oops, keep an eye on. that." Wow, that was a nice one. I liked. that one. >> I would also That was relaxing. >> I'd love for people to ask, "Why'd you. break up mashed potatoes?". >> Yeah, his mom puts sugar in potatoes. >> Just a crime against food. >> It's so weird. >> Poor potatoes. >> You know, maple syrup. You wouldn't put. sugar in it. Be like maple syrup.
>> Sweet potato. Yeah, >> sweet potato. Yeah, but this wasn't. sweet potato. >> No, russ it. hilarious to post an update. and be like, "These were russet. potatoes.". before anybody says anything. >> Are you ready to put your family first. and drive into the future with. confidence?

So, this next one coming from our very. own two hot takes subreddit. So,
>> oh my gosh, >> one of us. >> Yeah. Family family. Yeah. Hey, we see. you. It is pretty recent. >> Okay. >> And it is titled, "Am I the [ __ ] for. putting a pregnancy test in the. mailbox?". >> I think that's a crime. Like, like just. loose. >> You're going to find out. >> Oh my god. >> Buckle up, baby. >> What a great title. >> Let me give you some backstory first. I, 30, female, have been married to my. husband, 32 male, for 11 years now. We.
have two children together and we went. through a rough patch about a year ago, but we've been working on things. Or so. I thought. I work full-time, go to. school full-time to finish out my. degree, take care of the kids, and do. all of the housework without help, mind. you. He works long hours, so I try to be. understanding of that. But now that I'm. typing all of this out, I've realized. I'm literally his mother at this point. He doesn't do a single thing to help me.
Now that you get the dynamic, last week. I came home to our neighbor coming over. asking if we could talk. This was my. first time meeting this neighbor, so I. was all for introducing myself and. getting to know her. When I introduced. myself as wife, her face dropped. Come. to find out, my lovely husband has been. having an affair with the neighbor. There's security camera footage of it, too. He had been working that whole. weekend and I just sat there with this.
information because it's also not the. first time he's cheated. I called him. out on all of this and I blocked her. number from his phone and deleted her. After a few days went by, I decided to. go through his phone. He unblocked the. neighbor and she had messaged him saying. that she's late. He lied to her saying. he had a vasectomy so she can't be. She. must have blocked him after she freaked. out on him. After I cried it out and. gathered myself. I've been pretending.
like I haven't seen anything or gone. through his phone and I've just been. holding on to this information. I got my. hands on a positive pregnancy test and I. put it in our mailbox. He had a package. coming in tomorrow. So, I know he's. going to look in there. And I'm going to. wait and see how bad he panics because. not only did I find him cheating on me. with the neighbor, but two other women. as well. Yes, I am leaving. I have the. divorce papers filled out and told my.
attorney to wait to serve them until I'm. out of the house. But I wanted to send. him into a panic first. So, am I the. [ __ ] for creating what I am sure is. going to be a lot of drama and panic for. him? >> No. That's amazing. I do want to know. how you got your hands on a positive. pregnancy test. >> Facebook Marketplace. >> Facebook Marketplace. >> Let's go right now and see what we can. find. >> Are you kidding me? >> Yeah. >> The way you said that. Chilling. >> I've never done it. I'm just aill You. can find starter on Facebook.
Marketplace. You are comparing a a pregnant a. positive pregnancy test, a peed on stick. with sourdough starter. You found one? >> Oh, yeah. >> Are you kidding? >> Oh, they're all over. We even have. pregnancy confirmation ultrasounds for. sale. >> What? >> Yeah. I'm going to see if there's any. >> I'm actually embarrassed. I haven't. thought of this. Am I naive? >> How much are they? >> No pee for sale on Facebook. That's.
surprising, actually. surprising. How. much is a positive pregnancy test? >> Like 15 bucks. >> 15 bucks? >> Yeah. >> To send your husband into a spiral of. panic. That's nothing. That's a deal. >> Also, I feel like it's not that hard. I. mean, like, I've got I know a couple. people that are pregnant. I could be. like, "Hey, can you just pee on a test. for me?". >> If you were pregnant, though, and your. friend came to you and said, "Can I have. some of your pregnant pee cuz I need it. for You don't care. >> I'd be curious and I' i'd definitely I. would know. Oh, I'd be. >> to tell me what happened after because.
I'm so ready to get that tea. >> Don't you feel like you would need all. the information before you peed on that. stick and gave it to them? >> Yeah, I'd be a little curious, but like. I've given a friend my pee for a drug. test before in high school, so like you. know what, it's the same pee. I'm going. to flush it, >> right? >> And it's for a good cause, but like. Yeah. No, I'd be like, "What do you want. it for?". >> Yeah. >> Like I I'm very curious. >> You can't just have my pee, no questions. asked. >> Yeah. Because I don't think like there's. nothing dangerous you could do with my. pee,
>> right? >> I don't know. I don't know enough about. >> as long as like my friend was. >> DNA stuff. >> And it's like I don't think my friends. are that weird. Like I wouldn't have to. worry about someone wanting to drink my. pee. Like. >> they're not going to splash it on a. crime scene. >> Well, no. No. Can you DNA test from pee? >> Yeah. >> I know you can from vaginal discharge. >> You can DNA test from pee. >> Can you DNA test pee? >> I mean that. >> Yes. Yes. >> Okay, good. So that is I don't Yeah. Now. I've got to worry about potentially. framing me for a crime. But if it's a. trusted friend, an acquaintance off the.
street. No. >> No. Of course not. >> No. But trusted friend. Yeah. >> Podcast giveaway maybe, >> you know. Yeah. I just don't even want to go down. that rabbit hole. >> But if someone if one of you really. needs it, send me a DM. But I'm not. there yet. Now everyone's going to think. I'm pregnant. I'm not pregnant. Not. there yet. But when I do announce, you. guys will know. And if you need a a. positive, >> she wouldn't keep that from you guys. >> No. No. They're going to be the first to. know. >> Except my mom cuz she's got to know for. sure. She'd for sure kill me.
>> But yeah, could have been from Facebook. >> Could have been from a friend. >> What's the update? >> You're just so ready. Like. >> I'm so excited. >> Top comment though, not the [ __ ]. >> Yeah, of course. >> But let this be your one and really. satisfying slide down to his level. then. climb back up with the absolutely fan. flippantastic memory of it and soar high. over his head. You are in for a hell of. a ride and there's no harm in what you. are doing. >> That's nice. That's a lovely response.
>> Yeah, OP does clarify best friend is. pregnant. So, didn't have to turn to. Facebook. >> Okay. >> Mhm. >> Got my hands on Sounds like Facebook. Marketplace. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Just say my friend's pregnant. Give me a. peace dick. I would literally be if I. needed this, I would be willing to like. post on my Instagram story and be like, "Does anyone is anyone willing to pee on. a stick for me?". >> Oh, yeah. I mean, but this person. probably doesn't have your audience. >> No, but like I think even like before I.
started the podcast, I only had a. thousand followers on Instagram. I feel. like I could have got a couple takers. >> Really? >> Yeah. I'm from Minnesota. Everyone's. nice, willing to help. >> Everyone's nice and probably pregnant. >> A lot of people are pregnant there. Yeah. Like everyone back home is. pregnant right now. I'm just like, "Oh. my gosh." Okay. I get it. >> I get it. >> You're giving me baby fever. Scary. >> Are you ready for the update? >> Yes. >> Sorry it took so long to update. I've. been working through quite a bit. I. wanted to say thank you for the kind. words. I really appreciate them. I.
wanted to clarify the whole pregnancy. test thing in the mailbox. We have a. drop style mailbox. You need a key to. open the bottom/back of it to get the. mail out. So, no one sees what's in. there, nor do they really touch. anything. It was also in an envelope. >> Oh, okay. >> He ended up grabbing it out of the. mailbox that evening that I had put it. in there. And to this day, he has not. said anything about it. He did, however, reach out to six, yes, six different.
women asking them about it. I went through his messages on his iPad. before I left and that's how I saw them. I had a doctor's appointment and I got. checked out. Everything came back fine, thankfully. Here's where things get real. interesting. He worked Friday all day, so I took the day off work and four of. my friends with trucks came with their. spouses and helped me clear out the. house of all of mine and the kids'. stuff. The neighbor from across the.
street came over as we were on the final. load to inform me that she was in fact. pregnant and that she was freaking out. and had ultrasound photos to prove it. My sister ended up kicking her off the. property. I left my wedding ring on the. counter and the sheriff served him. divorce papers this morning. I know. because he has been blowing up my phone. about it asking me why. I haven't. responded nor am I going to. I. communicate only when it comes to the.
kids. My heart hurts. I've been sick to. my stomach. But even with all of this. going on, I feel like I can breathe. again. The kids and I looked at a house. The owner is renting it to me until the. divorce finalizes. I didn't want the. house because I don't want to have to. see her every day. I am, however, forcing the sale of the house. As for. her seeing the kids and I around, she. knew I lived with him. She knew the kids. were ours. She knew we were in a. relationship. The only thing she was. under the impression was that we were.
not married and I was the girlfriend. This entire experience has been the most. painful thing I've ever been through and. something I would never wish on anyone. I'm fortunate enough to have a very. strong support system. My sister and my. best friends have been staying with me. to help get me settled and although. there has been a lot of tears, there. have been a lot of laughs that I haven't. had in a really long time. No, that's not I mean that's really sad. and that sucks so hard. She sounds like. she's handling it great.
>> Yeah. And like has such a good support. system village around her lifting her. up. >> I can't imagine. what this neighbor was thinking. Like. I'm just like why would you do that to. someone? >> No. That's so insane. >> It's so insane. Like at the very least. he has a girlfriend and those are their. kids and they're living together. They're very serious and like you're. going to go and do this and now you are. actually pregnant which is just like oh.
my gosh. >> I know. Is this episode called Dump Him? Like everyone got everyone got. >> I mean I guess we don't know about the. mattress relationship. Nope. >> But everybody else broke up. Huh. >> Inconclusive. >> Wow. >> I know. >> Unlike their pregnancy test. >> I know. Dude, now that you're locked in. >> Wow. >> You're locked in. >> That's crazy. This was This was a lot. better than last time. >> Was it? >> Having the updates was really, really. helpful. >> Did it feel better?
>> Yes, it felt so much better. I was just. left with so many questions last time. I. walked around for weeks and everyone I. came into contact with, I was like, "Tell me what you think about this.". >> Okay. >> The secret room in the house haunts me. >> Does it still? >> Secret room haunts me. So, I did have. another story recently where the. girlfriend learned about a secret room. and it was like themed like a nursery. because the guy had a a baby kink. >> Sorry, that sentence took a turn in the. middle. >> Yeah, >> that I did not foresee. So, did he show.
it to her? She found it. >> She ended up getting showed the room. after he came clean about his desire to. be treated like a baby. Really kind of. crazy story. Um, and the brother was. there at the same time, too. It was. like, >> okay, >> the brother was there while he was. breaking the news to his longtime. girlfriend that like, "Hey, I have this. kink." And then she ended up like trying. it. She couldn't get on board. And then. the brother called her like 40 times and.
like shamed her for this. >> Okay. So, Secret Room original. >> is looking a lot better. >> Is looking a lot better. I know a lot of. people were actually on board with you. where I was like, I kind of hate it. A. lot of people were like, have a little. whimsy. >> This is great. >> It's fine. And they did reveal the. secret room. >> Yeah. >> They were like, hey, isn't this cool? We. have more space during co. It wasn't. like, you know, this this. >> horrible thing. >> Yeah. And there wasn't anything in. there. It was just like Christmas lights.
>> storage. >> Yeah. >> Fine. >> Look, a space for us to dream. Yeah, >> whatever. I still think that one was. okay. >> Okay, you got time for one more? >> Yeah. >> Okay, last but not least. >> Okay, >> coming from our friend Direct. Caterpillar 77, so you know it's going. to be good. Titled, "Am I the [ __ ]. for making my girlfriend pump her own. gas?". >> This is another fight that you know, it's just like it's over, guys. Since. me, 28 male, and my girlfriend, 27,
female, started dating, anytime she. drove and had to get gas, I would pump. it for her. Well, last week she took me. to work because her car does better in. the snow than mine. When she came to. pick me up from work, she was wearing. pajamas, which were shorts with a long. sleeve button-up. She even wore her. house shoes. I was embarrassed for my. co-workers to see her like that. So, when she stopped for gas to teach her a. lesson, I told her my back was sore and. she could pump it herself. She said it.
was too cold and she wanted me to do it. She's the [ __ ] that wore shorts. I. stood my ground and she pumped her own. gas, but wouldn't talk to me during the. drive. We pass a sushi place on our way. home, so I asked her to stop. She said. no, but I kept persisting and she. finally said okay. She told me I would. have to run in, so I did. When I came. out, she had left. I told my brother. because I needed a ride home. He gave me.
a ride home, but said that I was an. [ __ ] and that I deserved it. If. there's any interest, I can update with. what happened when I got home, but it. doesn't seem to be super relevant to my. question. So, I don't see the need to. add it. Am I the [ __ ]. >> I'm going to need the addition. I'm. going to need to know what happens. >> So, >> they're married or they're dating. dating. >> Okay. >> Dating. And I mean, a lot of people are. like, "Yeah, you're the [ __ ] She's. also she's picking you up from work.". >> Yeah. >> Like she's already doing you a favor.
You can pump the gas. And also like to. teach her a lesson. >> No. This is so crazy. That's why I'm. like, I want to know what he thinks. isn't important to list. But like, you. were embarrassed that your co-workers. were going to see her sitting in the. car. >> They weren't even going to see. Is she. going to get out of the car when you get. to work in her pajamas? Probably not. >> Who's going to see her? >> No one's going to see her. What are we. talking about? >> A lot of people were like, "Well, do you. pay for the gas or does she pay for the. gas?" She pays for the gas. I just get.
out and pump it for her. She's able to. work from home, so her schedule is. pretty flexible. She owns the house and. bills are 50/50. I just updated. I do. understand how I came off now and. definitely understand how I'm the. [ __ ]. >> Oh, great. Wow. >> Growth. So, are you ready for the. update? >> Yes. >> If your partner like didn't get out of. the car and pump gas for you, would you. be offended? >> I've never been treated that well where. someone always pumped my gas for me. >> See, I don't pump my gas. I also don't.
run in to buy my own coffee. >> I'll go with the car, but I'm wearing my. sleep t-shirt still, and he's ready for. the day. And he'll run in and get my. coffee, and I just sit there watching my. videos, doing my emails. >> God, that sounds nice. >> Sometimes I don't even have to take a. car ride. He'll just show back up to the. house with my coffee. >> Oh my god, that's me. No, I've never had. a relationship where somebody took care. of me like that. >> You guys, >> I don't think so. Have I? I don't think. I have. >> Okay. >> Like every once in a while, well, you. Yes, my sibling is pointing at.
themselves. That's true. But no, it's. actually something I run into in run. into in romantic relationships a lot. where because I'm so like. self-sufficient, people kind of go, "Well, I didn't even know what I don't. know how to take care of you. I don't. know what to And so then they don't do. anything. >> And I like taking care of people and I'm. like the oldest kid and all this stuff. So I'm like used to it and I want to. like I want to take care of each other. equally. Like I want to run in for you. I want to pump gas for you sometimes. Like I want to switch off. >> But I think.
>> sometimes. people kind of don't know. >> how to. >> how to with me. But and to me I'm kind. of like. >> I mean it's kind of just the same stuff. >> Yeah. >> Everybody wants like. >> eldest daughter. >> Eldest daughter. Which eldest daughter. and something I've come across recently. is like eldest daughter wound where like. you are very independent but you just. want to be considered. >> Yes. >> Like I don't care if like you've come to. the decision for something on your own. but like just consider me. Hey Morgan,
what do you think about this like. >> in all areas I just want to be. considered. Yes. And it's not so much I. need you to do all these things for me, but it's like the consideration and. that's I think you're kind of in the. same boat seemingly as me. And like. >> and most times I just want people to. offer like I won't even I won't even. take you up on it most of the time. Like. something that every single person I've. ever dated, >> I've had to be like, "No, that's not. true. I've dated one person. >> that drove me to the airport, >> like no questions asked." Yeah.
>> I think I've dated two that did so. consistently. I go to the airport every. week and so my like ultimate goal in. life is to find someone who will take me. to the airport sometimes. >> And it's actually so hard to find if you. can believe it. It's actually wild. It's. and I get it. Like I have married. friends who like my friends who I've. known for years, they will be like, "Oh, we don't take each other to the. airport." Like we understand that. Like. neither of us want to take each other to. the airport. And they're married and. they're good with that. Like there's. nothing wrong with that if that's but.
for me I am very self-sufficient. I'm. very independent. One of the only things. you can do for me. >> is take me to the airport or pick me to. and I usually fly out of Burbank. Like. I'm I never expect anyone to take me to. >> that's the easiest airport. >> I know. So I'm really like I really I. and I never expect anyone to take me. early. Like I just if I ever met someone. who was like, "Oh, I'll drive you to the. airport tomorrow." I would marry them. immediately. I feel like I can find this. person. Like I feel like I could find. this person. >> It might just be.
>> give me a list. >> I don't know of all the things I want a. person. Give me like top 10. >> Okay. I'm actually. >> like now or just right now after the. show. I'll email it to you. I mean, if. you want people pitching their shots. >> I know. That's funny. You'd think with. all the podcasts I've done, I would have. put it out by now. And but then that's. the other thing is I think like maybe. the things I want are too specific. I. don't know. But then I don't know. There. is kind of. >> I mean an occasional ride to the airport. feels like a pretty low bar. >> I know. But to want it to be offered.
like without asking for it cuz sometimes. people think they're like well if you. just want to ride to the airport you. should just ask. And I'm like yeah no of. course but I would like someone who's. like. >> do you want me to take you to the. airport? Do you want me to pick you up? Would that be. >> Yeah. You're independent but it still. feels nice to be taken care of every now. and again. >> Yeah. just because like I'm naturally. gonna take care of a lot of stuff like. >> just by nature of like my personality. and my career and like I'm in a position. where I make enough money like all these. things. So.
>> you can do it but it's like it's nice to. feel like you have a teammate or someone. that at least cares about you a little. and that's what it is. Yeah. >> Yeah. You want like a teammate for sure. >> We're going to find this person. Burbank. Oh my god. Like I think I was 3. months in and my husband was picking me. up from LAX. >> Really? >> Yeah. And consistently still does. And. I'm like, "No, no, it's fine. I'll. >> Maybe just maybe you have to wait 3. months. I don't know. >> We're going to Was it before 3 months?". >> I That was the first flight I had while. we were while we were talking. And. >> that's the thing, too, cuz when I'm.
dating somebody, if they need a ride to. the airport, I'm like, "Oh, here's my. chance.". >> Yeah. >> To like show. >> what a good partner I am. >> Have you tried it yet? >> Taking people to the airport. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. >> But it's not reciprocated. >> Not always. No, but they always. appreciate it. >> Yeah, everyone loves a ride. >> We're going to find your person. We're. going to find them. >> We'll see. We'll see. >> So, update. She pays for her own gas. She didn't get out of the car, but she. doesn't have tinted windows. And I. didn't expect her to dress up. I did.
expect her to not look like a bum, though. I'm still reading comments, so. I'll add stuff that gets asked a lot to. this and try to respond to others. Now, for what happened when I got home. We. live in a fairly rural area and I work. about 35 to 45 minutes away. Apparently, my brother called my mom who then called. my girlfriend and told her what I said. This did include me calling her a [ __ ]. and saying how embarrassed I was. When I. got home, my girlfriend had moved all of. my clothes and belongings into the junk.
room. I tried to talk to her, but she. locked herself in our room and ignored. me. >> His mom called her to be like, "My son's. a dick.". >> Yeah. what happened. >> or to like admonish her for showing up. in her pajamas. >> I think mom wanted the tea. >> Oh my gosh. >> When I finally got her to talk to me, she basically listed everything I've. done wrong in our relationship. This. past week has been hell. She wouldn't. take me to work when it was snowing, so. I had to take myself and my car got. stuck twice. I missed two days of work.
because of her pettiness. I really. didn't think I was the [ __ ] here, but. I tried to justify and explain myself. I. did admit I was trying to teach her a. lesson and we broke up. When I got home. from work, she had all my belongings in. boxes by the front door. And I guess. that's that. I really didn't think I was. the [ __ ] but obviously that's why I. posted here. Everybody that wanted us to. break up got what they wanted. I'm not. sure if my update is too relationship. based, so if this gets taken down, I. apologize. >> Okay. Obsessed with her. >> Mhm.
>> That's crazy. OP even loses it so far to. post another post. It's titled, "Can I. take legal action against my girlfriend. for kicking me out?". >> What? >> Yeah. So, he still didn't learn his. lesson after all of it. >> Oh my gosh. >> Yeah. >> Wow. Well, I'm really glad everyone. broke up for the most part. >> Yeah. >> I think that's why this was so. satisfying. >> We got answers. We got. >> Mama's mad at him. Mama's. >> kind of giving him a new What's that. saying? Biting in his ass. No. What's.
that one saying? ripping him a new one. >> That's what it is. Well, that's why I. was like, did the mom call to tattle on. her son or to be like, "Hey, dress nice. when you drive my son somewhere." Cuz I. wasn't sure which way that was going to. go. >> Mhm. >> After the last mom one, I was nervous. >> Mom was pissed at him and said that she. raised me to never mistreat a woman. So, in her eyes, I mistreated my. ex-girlfriend. So, mama was. >> after his ass, which. >> sometimes your boyfriend's mom has your.
back. Yeah, >> I love women. >> Yeah, >> this was good. >> This was awesome. >> This was. >> Thank you for having me back. >> Unreal. Amazing. You are just so on it. as always. >> I had a lot of feelings about all of. those. I will say it was very reactive. Feel like I should go post on Reddit. Did I overreact. >> No. >> to these. >> No, I think the reactions were. definitely appropriate. >> Okay, good. >> Definitely appropriate. >> Okay, great. I'll listen back to it and. make sure. I just all I remember this emotions.
surging through me. >> They're very powerful. I mean, >> the mattress one, the backpack, the. backpack, >> the backpack was tough for both of us. >> Can you imagine finding the backpack. story 10 years ago and just waiting. every year for an update? >> No. >> And like still, >> if you had done that to me, you would. have never seen me again. >> There's a story I just don't even want. to tell you cuz I will keep you. >> No, tell me. No, don't. No, tell me. It's the story about this woman finding. a box in her fridge and she asked her.
husband and she's like, "What's this box. in our fridge?" And he's like, "Did you. look in there?" She's like, "No, it's. no, I didn't look in the box." Like, but. what's in the box? And he's super weird. about it. And everyone, of course, on. Reddit is like, "Drugs, drugs. Or maybe. it's someone's finger. Is he working for. the mob?" So, everyone just starts. spiraling. And she's like, "Don't worry, guys. He's like, "I'll come back and. update you. I'll I'll be back.". >> Never came back. >> So, what's in the box? It was so.
powerful. I put it on a tote that we. sold. Still no update. What's in the. box? >> When was that? >> 4 years ago. >> What's in the box? Where is she? >> Maybe she's in a box. >> I'm literally I wish you hadn't told me. that. Why'd you tell me that? >> You told me to tell you. >> Yeah, but you know better. You know. better than to tell me that. >> Okay, you're going to go home tonight. You're going to forget all about it. >> No, I'm not. secret room haunted me. >> Well, I mean, it's just a box.

Maybe he's got like diabetes. secretly and it's insulin and he's just. doesn't want to tell her. >> Yeah, maybe. >> You never know. >> It's probably It's probably innocent. >> Yeah.
