Hi friends. Um, I'm crying from the end. of the episode. You will get there soon. But if you could just please subscribe. on YouTube. Even if you're an audio. listener, just, you know, over to. YouTube and subscribe. We're almost to a. million, which feels insane. And I just. really want to get there. [sighs]. So, if you'd help me out, that'd be. amazing. And um Lauren, do you want to. give us a little kickoff in another. country accent?

[laughter]. >> Yes, I did it. I did my part. It was so. good. [laughter] Again, you guys will. get there, but I hope you enjoy this. episode. >> Always watching. >> He keeps making with you. >> That's you always watching. >> What do you mean? >> Always watching. >> Are we supposed to know where that's. from? I have no idea what is going on. right now. >> Everyone knows where that's from.

>> I'm watching you. Always watching. >> Do you? >> Everyone but you guys. >> But you know what? >> Apparently. >> that reminded me of which actually I. don't know why it did cuz there's like. really no correlation. >> Okay. >> But. welcome to a brain of ADHD. Um, if you. guys have watched Jury Duty, it's. literally. >> Yeah. >> You have? >> Yeah. The first season. Have you seen. the second? >> No, I haven't. >> But I haven't either.

>> I'm like obsessed with the com concept. >> Would you like to be on without knowing? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> I feel like it'd be pretty good. >> I could get down that reality show. I. genuinely think it would give me. such trust and paranoia issues. >> [gasps]. >> I'm already a little paranoid and. putting me in that show and then finding. out after that it wasn't real and. everyone was messing with me and all the. emotions I just felt were unjustified. I.

would crash out. >> Yeah. It's like watching Austin Land. >> I was just going to say. >> that's why it had such a big effect on. me. I was going to say it's wild to me. that Justin is like casual about it and. that you're freaking out because Justin. freaks out about something that was like. I tell people that sometimes Justin and. and they're like about Austin Land and. how it traumatized him. >> Yeah. And they're like. >> are you sure it's the correct book. slashmov? Like are you sure you're you. must be referring to something else? And. I'm like.

>> no. >> yeah that's the one. It's true that you. literally cannot trust a single person. 100%. You just can't. [laughter]. You. >> just can't. >> I feel somewhat offended. >> Well, you can go [snorts] 99.9999999%. of the speed of light, but 100% is. impossible. I feel like it's the same. with trust. >> Okay, I totally agree. >> There is no 100%. You can add a million nines on the n. 99.99. Add a million nines to it. Okay.

>> So, we're talking a the smallest. fraction of a percent you could even. possibly. >> Well, our brains can't even fathom. >> You know, I feel like even 99% trust. I. feel like that's pretty good. We can. stop there. We don't need the nines. >> Good. >> 99%'s decent. You're like, "Not after. what I've been up to." You're like, "What do you think I've been?" No, I. just think it's funny. He's saying he's. just saying how much he can trust you. and you're like, "Actually, let's. subtract a few." cuz the the way you. like you're like you can have.

999999999999. and I'm like you just found it annoying. >> Just give me 99 we'll call it good. >> Well like the 01. [clears throat] be like all the. mysterious clothes that show up at our. house all the time. >> It's aggressive and it overwhelms me. >> Oh and we found some of yours too by the. way. >> Yeah. Morgan told me she specifically. told me not to leave those jeans there. And what did I do? I left them there. It. overwhelms me when people leave items at. my house cuz my house is a mess, you.

guys. I wish I could include a picture. without being so utterly embarrassed and. just disappointed in myself. But we are. in the middle of cleaning and it gets a. lot worse before there's any sliver of. hope that it will get better. But I'm. donating a lot. I literally want to like. I don't know like have a free yard sale. somewhere where I can just like show up. and drop a pin and be like, "Hey, close.". >> That's actually called Goodwill. No. No. I want it to go for free to people that.

need it. >> Goodwill. is highway robbery. >> Goodwill be charging. Lauren, I don't. know if you walked into Goodwill lately. >> I have. I dropped off stuff there and. then I was like, "Hey, let me take a. look around." And I did and I literally. got like seven items and then they were. like, "Your total is $7." And I was. like, "What? Well, you're going to a. good Goodwill because the ones I've been. going to are insane. Like $12 for a. sheen top." And I'm like, "This is. weird. I am going to donate whatever I.

don't give away to people to like the. American Cancer Society.". >> Does Goodwill not do that, too? Is that. like. >> Goodwill is like a really insane. for-profit company. >> Huh. I always thought that it was like the. good stuff they're like putting out. there to sell, but like the other stuff. that's not like super great, they're. donating to where where does. Never mind. What I'm like, where would. Goodwill donate if they don't want it? I.

don't know. Like you just said, like. >> they bring it to another Goodwill. >> They do ships. Someone please enlighten. me on Goodwill. Maybe. >> who delivers the mailman's mail. >> It's the same kind of concept. Goodwill. donates to other Goodwills. >> Yeah. I don't know. >> But then what what happens if they get. something that has like a hole in it. >> because it goes to a landfill? >> I thought maybe they'd repurpose it. somewhere. >> No, >> there are places that will recycle. fabrics. I'm unclear if they're one of.

them. If you know things about Goodwill, please put them in the comments. Please. enlighten us. Am I wrong? I maybe I. don't know anything about Goodwill, but. I don't know. I'm overwhelmed, which is. kind of the vibe with today's stories. >> There she is. >> Overwhelmed, overstimulated. I don't. have a title because my brain is too. frazzled to even think of one, but I. know how these stories made me feel when. I was finding them and it was at a loss. for words. So,

>> perfect. >> Without further ado, without further. ado, let's dive in. Let's do it. >> Yeah, let's go. >> [music]. >> Yeehaw! >> Howdy. >> Yee-haw, little doggies. >> I'd have my cowboy hat on, but it's. still in Minnesota. >> I know. We got to get that back for you.

Speaking of dressing up, this first one. is coming from Am I the [ __ ] It is 8. days old. titled, "Am I the [ __ ] for. not quieting down at a Renaissance fair. and walking away after my boyfriend. sided with a stranger?". I, 23 female, went to a Renaissance fair. with my boyfriend, 26 male, and my. sister. My sister and I go to events. like this regularly, but it was my. boyfriend's first time. At these events, people dress up, interact with. performers, and cheer loudly during.

shows. I was acting how I normally do, engaging with the environment and. cheering during the performances. During. a joust, I was cheering along with the. crowd. Nothing inappropriate, just. typical cheering. A man sitting in front. of me turned around and said I was. scaring his child and asked me to stop. Before I could respond, my boyfriend. told me I should quote quiet down a. little.

That upset me, especially since the. event itself encourages loud crowd. participation. Another person nearby even commented. that the man was out of line. >> There we go. >> I felt embarrassed and unsupported, so I. got up and walked away to calm down. My. sister came with me. We had already. planned to split up after the joust, so. I didn't think it was a big deal to take. some space. A few hours later, my. boyfriend found us and was upset, saying. I had abandoned him at an unfamiliar.

event. He also said that if a child is. scared, people should adjust their. behavior regardless of the setting. No, you should remove your child. I disagreed and felt like I shouldn't. have to change normal behavior in that. kind of environment. We ended up arguing. and it escalated more than it should. have. Added details. Before the joust, we had a detailed plan of separating for. an hourish after the joust. We each. wanted to do different things happening.

at the same time frame. So, we planned. to part ways and meet back up at the. place I wanted to go since it was a. group activity. My sister and I did. separate for a time and she came back. and joined me at the location we talked. about. I figured my boyfriend would do. the same, which is why I was more okay. with walking away from the situation. Also, before the just even started, the. kid was sideeying my sister and I, a. look we are very familiar with as. African-Americans when children clearly. aren't exposed to other people. After. the dad told me to quiet down, other.

people around pulled me aside and said. how he had no right to do so. All I was. yelling was, "That's my wife." cheering. for the female knight. And the man was. there with his husband, so that comment. really shouldn't be an issue to him. Am. I the [ __ ] for not quieting down and. for walking away? >> My vote is no, Justin. >> I agree. >> But you have thoughts. >> But you have thoughts. >> No, I feel like you're there's. something. [laughter] Rock, paper, scissors.

>> You know what? No, I I think I can read. his mind. I think that. >> she didn't want to lose. >> No, I I think that you I think you would. feel the same way as the boyfriend. [laughter]. Well, but the thing is I I wouldn't have. the same stance to begin with. So, I. don't think I'd end up feeling like him. because I wouldn't be in the position to. begin with. >> Yeah. I don't think he would ever tell.

me to quiet down at like especially at. like a sporting event, a Renaissance. festival. >> I don't think there's any situation. unless I was like being obscenely loud. in like a library. >> Yeah. And then that's the then you get a. justifiable reaction from the dad. Then. it makes sense. >> But in this case, it comes with the. territory. If your kid's scared, like. Lauren said, >> bring your kids somewhere else. Go to a. different side of it. Whatever. I can't. imagine. It's like.

>> it's like getting the rail at Justin. Bieber and you're you've ran there and. you've holding the the spot all day. This is a jousting event at a. Renaissance fair. Like I I get that some. people are very into it and I'd be. really into it too, but you didn't buy. these seats for $1,000 and save them. It's like it's not that big of a deal to. move, especially when you're the odd one. out, not the person doing what they say. everyone else was also doing.

>> Yeah. If you go to one of those things, jousting for those that don't know, like. you have two knights that ride at each. other on horses and have long poles and. they try to knock each other off the. horse with the pole and they do ride. around asking for cheers. There's. jesters or other supportive cast members. that are amping up the crowd and acting. as an MC. So like, >> yeah, that's what it's all about. >> This is very par for the course. This is. normal. And I also think that guy, the.

dad, was probably just being a jerk. because he wanted her to quiet down. I'm. like, was your kid actually scared? I. don't know. >> No. >> Also, if your kid is scared, they're. scared from someone yelling or are they. scared from the jousting? >> True. >> Like, what are they really scared about? cuz I mean maybe the kid's over. stimulated, maybe there's something. going on, but then like find a better. spot for your kid to participate in an. activity that aligns with them or is.

more individual and not in an a crowd. setting with intense screaming, >> right? >> Yeah. I don't think the kid was scared. I think that's a an easy copout for. parents who just want to say something. >> Yeah. He just wanted her to shut up and. then he blamed it on his kid. [laughter]. >> Yeah, >> probably. I will say so my overall vote. too is not the [ __ ] for OP getting. upset and feeling unsupported, but I. will say this is a pretty crazy level of. communication breakdown and just like. I'm going to walk away not say anything. to my boyfriend and then also not see.

him for hours. Like that's true. There's. no mention of like cell phones. Like. maybe they were really committed to the. bit and didn't bring them. There was. nothing really constructive about this. and I think you're fair for your. feelings, but then to the point where. they say we ended up arguing and it. escalated more than it should have. You. guys got to get your [ __ ] together. >> What are we arguing about? You know, >> feeling unsupported, you telling me to. be quiet, you abandoned me. Like, >> well, I get that, but what's he arguing?

>> That he felt abandoned. Oh, after. >> I forgot that or I guess I guess I just. didn't fully realize that she didn't say. anything. >> She just like dipped. Bye. >> Yeah. And then I think it was how many. hours? A few hours later, my boyfriend. found us and was upset. >> Like there's no mention of a text, a. call. How did he find you? Was he. walking around this whole thing trying. to find you? Why were they going to. split up anyway though is my question. >> They all wanted to go to different.

activities. So, but was he with somebody. else? >> No. >> Oh, >> not how I would go to an event. I want. to stick with my friends and have a good. time vibing together. But. >> maybe there was a sword making. exhibition and she wanted to go to. Fairyland. And so they were like, "Hey, divide and conquer.". >> Mhm. >> So, the reason I think that Justin would. feel the boyfriend's feels is because. you don't like loud noises. You wear. headphones everywhere. Earplugs. >> But I got them ready to go. Mhm. >> They're the best things. Honestly,

anyone should get them. The worst thing. that can happen to you is you end up in. a place where you're just like, >> "Oh my god, I'm obviously not going to. sit here and plug my ears like a little. kid.". >> Yeah, you can't do that. >> But I would do anything. I need. something. And venues are getting really. good at that cuz venues are getting. loud, man. >> It's anywhere. >> Maybe it's us getting older. >> No, I went to a dinner the other night. and it was a small restaurant. There was. like 35 40 people in there with everyone. trying to talk at once. It was so.

overwhelmingly. like earplugging. loud. I put my earplugs in. >> Well, and if you actually watch the. decibb, >> it's really bad for your ears. >> You don't understand how even a. restaurant like that can be up to 90 and. there's I don't know what it is, 30. minutes at that level starts to actually. cause permanent hearing damage. I even. know some people that are our age that. are like, "What? What?" When they're. sitting right next to you cuz they can't.

hear. It's like, "Do you really?" I get. it's cool to go to a concert and blow. your ears off, >> but do you really want to not hear? Like, if that was your sight, you. wouldn't be messing with it at all. >> So, all of a sudden hearing, everyone's. like, "Oh, I'll be fine. I can. whatever." It's just It doesn't make. sense. And I need to protect my ears. because it's part of my job. It is. And. I also I haven't had this experience in. years because I wear earplugs. And the. kind we get, they're called Eddie Modic. E T Y M O T I C. And they just they.

don't change the way it sounds. They. just bring it down so it's like. comfortable and you're not leaving the. concert with your ears ringing. Like I I. can't even remember what that sounds. like anymore because it hasn't happened. to me. But like going to a concert and. your ears are ringing after. >> that is so bad. So, actually at. Coachella there was a DJ and it's funny. cuz I was kind of thinking about like. the concept of like how loud this all.

must be, you know, but I'm watching from. my TV and he said like at the very end. of his closing statement, he's like, "Drink some water, la dah." And he's. like, "And seriously, wear earplugs." [laughter]. He was like, "I'm I'm not even kidding, you is he's like, "I have to get ear. surgery." Like he's like, "Wear. earplugs.". >> Is that David Gheta? >> No, I can't remember. It's. [sighs and gasps] I I would have to look. it up. Like I would I remember like the. face but not the name. Insane. Yeah. No.

Wear earplugs everyone. Maybe even if. you're going to a Renaissance festival. and watching a joust. But top comment on. this one with 18,000 up votes. >> Wow. Your cheering scared his child, but. men on large horses charging at each. other with lances doesn't. Where did. this guy think he was? >> That's hilarious. >> Next one. Wait until the kids see a. death joust. We know our blood packs are. good if we manage to create splash zones. in the first row. My favorite.

choreography was the year the knight. popped my squares head like a watermelon. after I fatally stabbed him. So much. blood. >> What? What is going on? I have never. seen ghost joust. That. >> that was descriptive. >> I am very confused. >> Don't wear white to that one. >> I feel like that was a. >> Game of Thrones episode. Like I don't. like the wedding. So people have. questions. They're like, "Where is this. Renfest?" Because they're kid-friendly. events that generally don't allow fake.

blood. Like even having just fake blood. on your costume design can get you. banned from an event. Anything that. splashes is strictly forbidden. And the. blood jouster responds, "Midwest, we. advertise it as a death joust in the. program." And it ends with all the dead. jousters magically resurrecting and. learning their lesson. The good guys. always win. I used to make the blood. packs. We actually keep it far enough on. the field that the audience rarely gets. splashed. That was a bit of a hyperbole.

on my part. But once in a blue moon, [laughter] I can't think of any walkound. characters that had fake blood on them. other than the butcher. You'd have to. have a good character reason for that to. be an established part of your costume. Everyone's like, "Where where where is. it? I need to go. I need to do a deep. dive onto this." A friend of ours works. at a Renaissance festival in Shakape, Minnesota every year. I've been a few. times and it's an absolute hoot. I can. also uh affirm that. >> I used to go every single year growing.

up. It was one of my favorite things. >> Did you dress up? >> No. I would like to go and dress up this. year. I got a wax hand every year. That. was like my one like present thing that. I got. >> Yeah. And it melted in the car. >> One of them melt in the car. I was very. upset about it, >> but I used to keep all of them. And like. I just think it's so sad that I don't. anymore because like that they are. >> No, I I think that Yeah, they're like. thrown away. One of them I remember like. cracked. But like how cool would that. be? Like the fact that that was like the.

thing that I loved to do cuz like. [clears throat] my my brother and like. everybody else like picked like their. own one like prize and that was the. thing I always loved. And like the fact. that I was like keep like my hand was. getting bigger and bigger. That's like. kind of cool. >> That's adorable. >> It's kind of like the height chart on a. wall. >> Yeah. I think people do that with their. babies and stuff. That's really cute. The OP on that one comment does reply. and say his bloody joust is Kansas City. I sorted comments by controversial just. to see if there's anything else. And. this one has -12 up votes. This is.

against the group feeling, but this is. the message you sent to your boyfriend. I consider what I want to do more. important than the feelings of a scared. child. And when criticized, I will walk. away and abandon you rather than express. my feelings calmly. If that's not the. impression you want to give, then. reconsider your actions. Otherwise, harrah and carry on. >> Mhm. Another controversial comment with. -16. You're the [ __ ] Not for being. loud, but for storming off and punishing. your boyfriend for 3 hours when he.

uttered one sentence, not even unkindly, but a mere suggestion. That reaction is. not the reaction of a stable person and. it's manipulative. And then OP adds that they did have a. plan to split up. I don't think that was. in the original post, but. >> she edited it to make it seem like it. was. >> Got it. So, I think after getting some. You're the [ __ ] I think like she. did an edit but didn't label it as an. edit and just put it on there. >> So, to me it looked like it existed the.

whole time. >> And is that true? >> We do have a couple comments. from OP. I think people were criticizing. her for commenting on a female night and. she says, "I'm bisexual. The night I was. cheering for was a female. The man who. talked to me was a gay man." I think. people are trying to like rationalize. the behavior. I I have no idea. But like. I was just talking to you about this, Morgan, the other day. Like I don't want. to be around people that make me feel. like they're have any shame about.

anything that I like say. If that's how. you feel, like just like don't be next. to me. Don't be seen with me. Like if if. I'm too loud, then just walk away from. me and go be seen with somebody else. Like don't police me. >> Yeah. So I, you know, this girl like was. probably even though it was such a small. little simple thing that her boyfriend. said, like it probably just felt really. like unsupporting and like and that he's. ashamed of, you know, and like yeah,

when someone feels like they're ashamed. of you, it can trigger a lot. Well, an. OP does share that they work with. children are very considerate of. children. It seems like people were. really trying to find any way they could. discredit her story. Whether it was. about making a comment that felt queer. or something like that, like OP's like. here defending like REN festivals are. very open and supportive of the queer. LGBTQ plus community. That shouldn't.

have been an issue that a woman was. commenting on a woman night saying. that's my wife. Like people I think were. trying to imply that her comment was. inappropriate. OP just goes to bat again being like I. do consider children. I've put myself in. harm's way countless times for random. children in their safety. I've taken. punches from drunken fathers to protect. their children. I'm an elementary school. teacher. My whole career is about the. well-being of a child. That doesn't mean. I'm going to revolve my life around. every single child I see when my. behavior is completely normal and. reasonable.

Mike, drop right there. >> Yeah. >> You're in a public event that encourages. screaming. So. >> yeah, >> not the [ __ ] No update on how the. boyfriend and OP handled things. So I'll. keep my eyes peeled. >> Yeah. I mean, I do I do feel for him, too. Like if my boyfriend just walked. away from me without saying anything and. then I like couldn't find him for hours, like even if we plan to split up, I'd be. like. >> I'd feel crappy. Yeah. At an event I've. never gone to and I'm walking around for.

hours by myself. Ew. Yeah. I'm so. curious if they had service too cuz that. would be I would be like I know beyond. myself if like I didn't have service and. he just walked away from me. I don't. think we really had service at the Shaka. one when we went in Minnesota. I feel. like I was trying to post on my story. and I feel like I didn't have service or. something. >> I don't know. >> You also just like don't see a lot of. people on their phones there. I think. they really do immerse themselves. >> Phones don't exist. >> No. King and Queen are walking around.

with their their ladies and waiting. They're holding courts. >> and the knights. >> Knights marching around. >> We should go to one. >> That's what I'm saying. I would even settle for like medieval. times. We can get We can get a little. party bus, dude. Round the people up. Wear some costumes. Brian literally got. bait and switched by Chill because she. she said she was down. And so he. literally went and bought himself an.

outfit. And I'll give him an opportunity. to wear it. He still has it. And he just. was so sad he had to put that he had to. hang it back up in the closet with his. head. >> I'll give him I'll give him a shot. I'll. get it on the radar. >> I'll give it. >> I'll put it on the radar. I've also. Justin and I were hanging out with Kayn. and her husband Matt the other night and. we came up with this new idea of doing a. messcal and magic night and we hire a. magician. >> Yay. >> I love that idea. >> Recurring.

>> Yeah. Let me know if you guys would be. interested. Maybe we could hold it a big. version of it in LA once we we got to. like test out the magicians and make. sure they're good. I think you guys need. to like reserve like one night a quarter. at least of like no matter what you're. not working, you guys are unplugging and. like spending some time with your. friends. Aka. >> once a quarter. >> Once a quarter feels low. >> Well, it is low, but I'm saying that. that's the like non-negotiable. If it. was if it was once a month, then it's.

just like I'm sorry, but this month got. away from me. But like once a quarter, that's like a. >> excuses. I appreciate that. Thank you. for looking out for us. >> Yeah. Okay, this next one, this is. coming from true off my chest. It's 3. days old titled I think I know why no. man takes my friend on a fifth date, but. I am not telling her. >> Oh my, I'm so cute. like this is. >> fifth is I see second would be. >> right but fifth it's like. >> what happens after the fourth.

>> usually it's the third. >> I just got back from a week in Bali with. a close friend and I think I finally get. why none of the men she meets go past. three to four dates with her I'm so. excited. I don't know why but I am. [laughter] Tell me what is it? And I. feel awful because I know I'm never. going to tell her. She's actually great, smart, funny, kind, but there's. something I saw on this trip that I.

can't unsee now. I'm freaking out. The. cat. What? The cat who wasn't there, but. her ghost followed us everywhere. Anyways, everything, and I mean. everything, came back to the cat. Every couple of. hours, we were back on it. At dinner, in. beautiful places, she would go quiet and. then start scrolling old photos, worrying if the cat was depressed.

She would do multiple FaceTimes with her. pets sitter every day, full baby voice. At night, she would literally sing. lullabibies to the cat over the phone. She'd leave beach parties to go get. updates from her sitter. At first, it. was cute. Then, it got a lot. We walked. past a tattoo shop and she seriously. considered getting her cat's face. tattooed. In a cafe, she saw two cartoon. characters kissing on the menu and went,

"This reminds me of my cat.". I asked how. She said once her cat. sniffed another cat and they looked like. they were kissing. Like everything. filtered through the cat. One day we. spent three whole hours finding the. perfect gift for the cat. 3 hours. The. cat is going to break it in 5 seconds. And we could have done something else in. that time. Explored a new place maybe,

but nope. And then I learned how she. lives and it got worse. She has a. noclosed doors policy because if any. door closes, the cat screams all night. Bedroom, bathroom, everything open. [screaming]. This means that the cat sleeps on her. chest every night, follows her into the. bathroom, sits on her lap while she's on. the toilet, and also watches her in the. shower, >> like normal. By the way, >> I tried to imagine a guy coming over and.

yeah, >> not all of it, but [snorts]. >> that's probably where things end. She. also wants this insane Kdrama level. love, like can't live without each other. kind, but then casually said one day. that she'd always choose her cat over a. partner. So, what is someone even. signing up for? By date three to four, I'm guessing the guy has heard about the. cat 30 to 40 times, seen her FaceTime at. mid meal, maybe been to her place, maybe. gotten scratched, and realized this. isn't she has a pet. This is the pet is.

the main character, and I'm not and. never will be. So, he leaves politely. She thinks the men aren't trying, gets. upset, goes back to the cat. Bond gets. stronger. Next guy sees an even more. intense version of this and leaves. faster loop. And the worst part, she has. no idea. And I'm not telling her because. I know how that conversation goes. She. will get defensive and I will become the. villain who doesn't get her bond with. her pet and our friendship will be over.

So yeah, now every time she says he just. wasn't feeling it, I'm like, I think I. know exactly what he felt. Note, this is. not me saying people with pets or cats. can't date or are difficult to be with. I know other people who are perfectly. fine pet parents. This is just an. exceptional case where someone's deeply. inshed relationship with their pet might. be affecting their dating life. >> Huh. [laughter]. >> I was going to use that word too.

Enshed. I was actually going to use it. It was. >> I was ready. And then. >> All of you out there should be so proud. of me. I have not used that word in. ages. >> I used to hear it I feel like more than. daily. >> Yeah, cuz I'd be like you're in meshed. I'd [laughter] use. >> it was like everything. It'd be like any. show or commercial. It'd be like up and. meshed. >> She I remember this phase too. It was a. phase. >> Yeah. It's just unfortunate that we.

batch record episodes and everyone had. to be in that phase with me and it was. it might have [laughter] been a two-year. long phase. It was outside of the. episodes, Lauren. >> It was. Yeah. What? Oh, what. >> your response? >> My response to the story. >> Okay. There's kind of a lot going on. right now. >> That's [laughter] the That's the nature. of the the the theme here. >> The the the show, the podcast, >> the belly of the beast, as they say. Uh-huh. Nothing. Okay. [laughter]. Um. I don't know that phrase. Um I also It.

might be nature of the beast. Okay. Belly of the Beast [clears throat] is. Lambo Field. >> Yeah, I think it's Nature of the Beast. I'm I'm just Let's move along. Okay, [laughter]. so my question is how long have they. been friends? Like why did friend not. see this before? Why did it take a trip? Let me see if there's any comments from. OP. >> That is true. >> Maybe it was an aha moment. Like it.

clicked. But I'm also like maybe the. trip was. she just missed her cat extra on the. trip. Like are we sure that this is like. a in the middle of a date facetiming her. cat type of thing? [laughter]. >> I think it is. I do. >> I mean that is aggressive. You're in. Bali and you're facetiming your cat. multiple times singing the cat. lullabies. Well maybe they were. drinking. Like that sounds like a fun. drinking activity. FaceTime your fat.

[laughter]. You inserted that. There was no mention. of the cat's weight. [laughter]. No mention. I am like I've been sleepd. deprived for like 2 weeks and so I start. to like mix up my words and stutter when. I get really sleepd deprived. Um which. isn't good for you guys. So. >> you're doing great, sweetie. Keep going. >> Thanks. I I think I'm just going to. throw it back to Justin. Fat. [clears throat]. >> Go ahead.

>> The fat cat. [laughter]. >> Uh, I, you know, I I kind of like the. lullabibis. I would sing to Smarty and. Cona when we're out of town. >> That's what I was thinking. You guys. would totally do that horses. >> Yes. This for me. >> For me, >> this person is probably undatable cuz I. just It's to such a level. But that's. for me. I do think there is someone out. there that would be down with this and. that would be that would fit right into.

that mold. >> I agree. I think she's got to find the. guy that's willing to FaceTime the cat. with her. >> There is someone who is down for that. And listen, I am all for someone that. takes exceptionally good care of their. pet. I am all about it. Mhm. >> So, as extreme as you want to go, as. long as you're giving that pet a happy, healthy, awesome life, I'm all for it. Go for it. It's just it's not going to. be everyone's cup of tea. >> Yeah. >> It's a little bit niche,

>> but you love your cat and what can No. one can take that away from you. So, it. kind of just is what it is. And as the. friend, I don't think you need to. disclose it unless there is some sort of. breakdown and it gets to the point where. she can't figure out why does this. always happen to me? No one likes me. And it starts to take her down a path. of, you know, bad thoughts about herself. or some or or some depression or.

something where she starts to look. inward and says, "What is wrong with me? Why does none of this work?" Then we get. to a territory where we might want to. cross that bridge potentially as a. friend to be helpful. But as right now, she's just kind of like, well, they. didn't it didn't work out. It seems like. it's kind of like, oh well, back to the. cat. >> I feel like you necessarily don't need. to mention it unless you plan on taking. another trip with that person because. then I would want to mention it. I would. want to say, "Hey, on this trip, can we.

not FaceTime the cat so much?" I would. really love to make sure we're spending. quality time together and exploring, but if you aren't going to take another. trip with this person, then it probably. isn't going to affect you. Why bring it. up? >> Yeah, >> your wheels are turning over there. I. see him. Well, I just I didn't think. Justin was going to say this cuz I. didn't think Justin liked cats. So, I'm. just happy cuz it's like it's it's kind. of where my thought was at, too. But, I. also think that like it's fine to say.

something. You don't have to be like, "You're a flawed human.". >> No, >> because she's not. You could just be. like, "Hey, your cat's awesome. I know. you love your cat." But us looking for a. [clears throat] toy for your cat for 3. hours, like I would have laughed. I felt. was a bit excessive. And I just feel. there's a little bit of a balance to. some things, >> especially when it's a trip with me and. you and like. >> I'm at your beck and call like you're.

together on this trip. I'm not going to. abandon you. >> So, and you can just say like I I wanted. to spend like quality time with you and. as silly as it sounds like it felt like. you were so focused on your cat that I. couldn't really fully spend quality time. with you. That's a great way to put it. >> Yeah. And and I think that like you can. let your friend know that and then they. can do with what they want with it. You. don't have to be like, "Hey, I think. that no one likes you cuz you like your. cat." Like, >> no, I wouldn't even bring up guys cuz I.

don't know if that's the case. I The way. you put it is exactly how I would say it. >> exactly because it could affect your. friendship going forward if the cat is. always coming between you guys. >> Well, it's also just like it's. projection at this point, right? Because. we don't actually know. We don't have. evidence. She didn't be like, "Oh, one. of her guys DM'd me and said this is. why." She just felt that that could be. why. Cuz she didn't like it. >> Yeah. >> So, it's like if if one of my friends. were to be like, "Hey, you know how none.

of the guys you went on dates with. worked out?" I think it's because you. smell bad. Like, I [laughter] would be. like, "What?". [gasps] You know what I mean? Like, it's. just like not something that you should. ever, you know? And then I if it gets to. the point where they're like begging you. like please do you have any ideas of. what it could be like then sure you can. be like well maybe cuz that's how I. felt. But just to like go in hot like. that and be like so I'm pretty sure I. know why. >> right. >> like I feel like that's just out of.

place. Completely agree. We have cat. people chiming in in the comments. Top. comment with 9.1K up votes. As a cat. lover this sounds exhausting. Next. comment is from OP. It really was. Thank. you for understanding. Next comment. I. adore my cat. My husband adores my cat. While we are away, we await the. catsitter updates, but we don't stay. glued to my phone waiting for it to come. in. We, you know, enjoy our holiday. For.

reference, my cat is 19 this year and is. a lot. Had husband for 12 years, her for. 16/17. We also have a no closed doors. policy, but that doesn't include the. bathroom or us time. I also have a lot. of interest and can hold serious. conversations and not divert back to my. baby when doing so because while she is. my world, I have to, you know, adult. I'm sorry your trip had this on it and. wasn't quite as brilliant as you had. hoped. Don't tell her direct, but maybe. when it starts going back to the cat,

steer the conversation another way. OP. responds. I have tried to steer the. conversation away. It only works for. like 10 to 15 minutes max. I think I'll. continue being friends with her, but. avoid future trips. Thank you for your. kind words. >> That's all we got. >> Yeah. So, you can I mean, you can decide. how you how much you want to be friends. and how far that extends to trips and. what you want to do just as much as. someone can decide how much they want to.

date this person or not. But it's not. really a situation that you should step. in and change how they live their life. until they're expressing. hurt or concern over why things are the. way they are. But then you get into more. of a therapy territory. Now my other. last thought is where do we think the. cat is during the loving? I mean, do you. think like if you get that far because. we're talking date four or five. I I. mean, everyone moves at their own pace,

but. >> let's say we get into the bedroom. There's no closed doors. There's none of. that. I mean, are you staring the cat in. the eyes? >> It's in the bed. >> Are you just like. >> It's. >> watching you. >> Ew. It's in the bed [laughter] 100%. >> Where though? I've seen a Tik Tok of. someone who was at their boyfriend's. place or something and they shut the. bedroom door on the dog. They weren't. actually doing anything, but they were. trying to record to show what the dog. does. And of course, it was like a. little Frenchie who was just [screaming].

at the top of its lungs going nut. I don't know how you have sex when. [laughter] you have a dog like that. >> Can you imagine? >> I would go crazy. My dog would literally. get so uncomfortable. He would like want. to be out of the room. >> Yeah, >> bear. He was like, "No, thank you. Goodbye. [laughter]. >> Adios.". You know, that's like the nice thing. about the place that I'm at right now is. that there's two doors.

It's like separated by like the living. room. There's like the bathroom area has. a door like and then. >> you walk through bathroom and then go to. the room or it's like kind of a get. ready. Interesting. Yeah. >> A closet. Yeah. there's like another. layer to it. So, it actually worked out. really nice because when fostering, we. didn't typically have them like in our. room at night because they a lot of them. had fleas. >> Well, they also have zooies and wake us. up in the middle of the night and like. we had like a couple of times where they. just like ran across our face in the.

middle of the night and it was just like. it was like, you know, >> no way. >> Yeah. Like, yeah, we're good. >> Yeah. [laughter]. No, >> dude. That would suck me. >> They they get really hyper in the middle. of the night and then they like want to. be with you, the human. >> So, >> cuz they love you. >> I know. >> So, but that was what was really nice is. because the other thing too is having. the two doors is they didn't even meow. at the door when they were closed. because I I don't know exactly why, but. I think it's maybe cuz they couldn't.

hear as well. >> They could sense you in there. >> Yeah. It's like when you like when. there's you can see someone moving or. like when the door is right there, you. can hear them wrestling around. I think. that like animals get louder. But I. think that double door like genuinely. they just like did their own thing. They're fine. So, um if that's a problem. that anyone's having, maybe looking into. an apartment like that because. could be good. >> Yeah, could be good. >> Could be good. Okay. Well, we are moving. on to this next one, my friends. This is.

coming from our very own Two Hot Takes. subreddit. >> It is titled, "My husband is spoiling. the spicy scenes in my romance books by. acting them out before I get to them.". I'd be pissed. I, 32 female, read a lot. of romance novels, like four to five a. month. Not the super smutty stuff, more. like Emily Henry type books with the. illustrated cartoon covers, enemies to. lovers tropes, that kind of thing. About.

2 months ago, my husband of 11 years, 38. male, started acting a little dot dot. dot different in the bedroom. Not bad, just occasionally there's this vibe like. he has something planned. We'll have what I can only describe as a. themed night and I think, "Okay, that. was fun and a little random and move. on." Then a few days later, I'll be.

reading my book, hit a spicy scene, and. actually have to put my Kindle down. because it's the same scene, like the. same vibe, the same moves, occasionally. almost the same setup. It's already. happened four times now. four. Okay, wait. Maybe that's kind of awesome. >> I finally said something to my sister. and she immediately started crying. laughing, which was not helpful. She. thinks he's reading ahead in my books.

and essentially performing the scenes. on/with before I get there as some kind. of prank. But here's what I can't figure. out. I read on my Kindle. He'd have to. get into my account, figure out where I. am in each book, read ahead, and then. coordinate. He's a big tech/numbs guy, so if he's doing this, I guarantee. there's a spreadsheet involved. somewhere. I'm honestly not even mad. Genuinely, if this is what's happening,

it might be the most unhinged romantic. gesture anyone has ever done for me. >> Yeah, >> but he is technically spoiling the. books. How do I tell him to stop. spoiling the plot without accidentally. telling him to stop being the most. higheffort partner I've ever had? >> So, you guys think this would spoil the. scenes for you? >> No. No, not at all. >> So, then why would you be pissed? >> I wouldn't. >> I wouldn't. I I initially said I would. be pissed because I thought that he was. like, "Oh, you know what happens to.

soand so?" Yeah. Like I thought he was. like mo like mock mocking actually like. >> like let me hop on my dragon and go to. best guy. >> Yeah, exactly. Cuz I I always get I get. really pissed off if I'm watching like a. romantic movie with my boyfriend. He. starts making fun of like one of the. characters. Yeah. [laughter] It pisses. me off so much. >> I I repeat lines when they're just. ridiculous. >> Yeah. And then I have to be like, "Don't.

ruin this for me." And it takes away. from it cuz you're I'm sucked in. I'm. sucked in. I'm in a different world. You're pulling me out of it and I don't. like it. I don't care if it's cheesy. I. know it's cheesy, but sometimes I want. the cheese. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Lay it on. Put that feta on. Grind up. that crumble. >> Mac and cheese. >> Tortilla me. I wish I had an example. right now, but sometimes it's just. >> it's but it doesn't mean I want you to.

make fun of it and suck me out of it. >> Yeah, exactly. >> It's not making fun of though. I merely. repeat. >> I've heard enough. I've heard enough. >> All I'll do is repeat a. >> in a in a mocking voice. >> No, no. I'll match the tone in the No, no. I'll match the tone and everything. And it just I think it makes you realize. how ridiculous some of it is. I think. that's what it does. >> Maybe your voice just can't achieve that. seductive nature that the actors can.

>> Mhm. >> And maybe that's why you're mad. >> We're talking like Dlevel actors at. best. >> I mean, the acting, you can see right. through it. They might as well be. holding the script in front of them. >> We're going to agree to disagree. I need. to know which movies those are because I. want to add them to my list. >> I don't have the example. I need the. example. >> Honestly, I don't really watch many like. that. I do. During Christmas time, that. is. No, I feel like they're all they're.

all good. No, even [laughter] the. Hallmark ones. The Hallmark ones are. getting like really good actors now. Hallmark movie channel Christmas holiday. [ __ ] has upped their game. They're. getting Lindsay Lohan. Yeah, >> you watch yourself, buddy. >> I'm not saying it's all of them. It's. the ones where I've quoted some of the. lines. >> I'm going to record you next time. We'll. see. >> We'll compare. >> I'm down. >> Back to the question, though. How do I. tell him to stop spoiling the plot.

without accidentally telling him to stop. being the most higheffort partner I've. ever had? I feel like for me, I don't. even think he's really spoiling it cuz. you don't necessarily know what's. coming. Now, in your head, you might. anytime he sets a scene for you, be. like, "Oh, this is coming up in my. book." So, I don't know. It's not really. a problem. I would just let it happen. I. feel like it makes the book hotter when. you do happen upon the scene then. Yeah, I think so, too. I I don't This wouldn't.

bother me, but I don't know. I also just. don't think with like smut books like. that once once the they get together for. the first time I don't really care about. like when or what they do the next times. like that doesn't take away from. anything. >> cuz unless these roleplaying character. names then you it's not like it would be. a surprise that these two characters. came together. >> you know it's like. >> oh okay but does it take away from the.

scenes that you read because every new. line is like, "Oh yeah, oh yeah, but. you're already know where it's headed.". So you don't get that like whatever you. guys are getting from this thing. Like. you don't just the you know the. temperature meter just stops going up. and up because you're like I know where. we're headed so it's not so exciting. That must be it because you're not. spoiling the plot of the book, per se, but you're taking away the hotness out. of the scene because it's not this.

uncharted territory. You kind of know. where it's headed. >> I don't know if it's taking out of the. hotness though because for me. >> then what's the issue? What the. >> It is. Yeah. Obviously, it's spoiling it. for her now that she's made the. connection that he's acting out her. books. So, I guess you could just be. like, "Hey, I love that you're taking. inspiration. Please don't stop, but. >> I pick a book that I'm not on currently. Or. >> maybe. use the inspiration a little more.

loosely. >> What if Yeah, what if she just asked him. to do it after she read it? >> There's a compromise. There's a. compromise. Let's get into the comments, though, on this one. Okay, top comment. made the mistake of reading this post to. my husband and I think I actually saw a. light bulb turn on above his head. Gonna. start locking my Kindle. Seriously. though, if the biggest worry in your. relationship is him spoiling the spicy. scenes in your books by acting them out. with you, I'd say you two are in a great.

place. >> True. >> Someone replies to that person, don't. lock it. Leave it open on those scenes. that you really want to act out to OP. I. think this is adorable. What a lucky. person you are. And OP does respond to. that first comment. Keep me posted on. this one. We need the data points to. compare. So, in response to OP, bookmark. your favorite scenes. Give him a. selection so there's still an element of. surprise.

That'd be a really good compromise, actually. Like, here's your options. Here's the ones I've read that I love. Take your pick. Surprise me. >> Does that take the fun out of it for him. a little bit? because he is not aware. she's caught on to this yet. >> I don't know. Maybe it would take the. fun out of it for him. >> cuz like he is doing this all. undercover, staying right ahead and nobody knows how. he does it. Where's the spreadsheet? >> Maybe that's the fun for him. >> I don't know. I don't know.

>> There's another comment OP responds to. Someone says this, "Lol, that's so. sweet. That's like living the dream for. him to be involved in your hobbies and. what books you read. Maybe let him know. gently, but he's a good egg in this. current age. OP responds, "He really is. 11 years and he's still out here finding. new ways to be surprising. I genuinely. don't deserve him and also he is ruining. my books." We do get an update.

>> Does she reveal? >> Does she reveal what? that she knows. >> I haven't read any of the updates, so we. shall see. I want to start by saying. thank you for all the comments. I've. read them all and I want to clarify that. I absolutely love my husband and I am. floored by his efforts on this. With. that being said, I decided not to talk. to him about it yet and to mess with him. back instead. >> Love it. What I did instead was rush to. finish my current book faster than. usual, left my Kindle open to an earlier.

chapter I had already read in case he. went to check where I was up to and then. made the spicy scene from that book. happen in real life last night. Initiated it and went all in. Oscar. worthy performance. Honestly, if there's. a spreadsheet tracking all of this, and. I definitely believe there is, it's. about to get a very confusing entry. will update when one of us cracks. I kind of want to know what they're. doing. What books are you reading?

>> I know. I'm like, what book is it that. like each. >> She mentioned some. >> Yeah, she mentioned um what's this book? >> Emily Henry type books. >> like not not props and costumes. We're. not there. It's like. >> Oh, it doesn't seem like that. >> It's like um actions. Um, Emily Henry. wrote People We Meet on Vacation. That. is a recent Netflix movie. >> Loved that movie.

>> Oh my gosh, that I literally was. obsessed with that. I watched that on. the plane and like cried and. >> it was so good to certain ways too. I. just thought it was amazing. >> I love love love the actors. Emily. Bader, Tom Blle, like both so good. Emily was in Lady Jane Gray or My Lady. Jane, the Amazon series that didn't. renew for season 2. I also just bumped. into two famous people today and I.

>> I can't remember their names because I. know their faces but not their names. But I like looked it up, which was. actually really funny. I typed in hot. Bernett famous person in their 40s and I. found her. [laughter]. No way. >> Yeah, there was like a list of of a. bunch of in that category and then I. like she was number five. I was like. >> per like not ranking but just like that. was the list. >> I was about to say dang you. >> What tab did you click on? 31 brunette.

actresses who are beautiful on the. screen. Probably. I didn't even put actress cuz I wasn't. sure if she was an actress. But what was. fun from that is that I recognized the. guy too. But when I looked her up, I saw. that they are in a movie together. >> Oh, cool. >> And it's a romcom or just ROM, maybe. I. don't know about the comm. But I'm so. excited to watch it now. H, you don't. remember the name? No, I can't remember. Okay. Well, if anyone has any guesses,

let me know cuz I would like to know cuz. I'm nosy. But, okay. The top comment on. the update is, "This is both hysterical. and very sweet. OP response update. coming. Let's just say he's now aware. this thread exists. >> And update number two, final update. My. husband has been spoiling the spicy. scenes in my romance books by acting. them out. There is a spreadsheet. If you. read my original post or my last update,

you'll know that my husband has been. acting out the spicy scenes with me from. whatever romance novel I was reading. before I even read them. A few days ago, I set a trap for him. I read ahead and. initiated a specific spicy scene with. him from my current read before he could. get to it. Nothing happened the next. day, which I thought was weird. So, I. decided to escalate. This time, the bait. was that I started to read It Happened. One Summer by Tessa Bailey. If you've.

read it, you might understand why I. chose that book. While we're. adventurous, there are certain things we. don't usually do. A couple of days ago, we were eating lunch. We were both. working from home. And he said, fully. serious, "If you really want to, you. can." When I asked him what the hell he. was talking about, he finally broke. Turns out you all were right. He had. access to my shared Kindle library and. got this idea for a prank. But once he.

did it a few times, he really got. invested. [laughter]. He's going to stop spoiling my books, but we did come up with another. arrangement. Also, thanks to the. comments here. I'm going to give him a. list of pre-approved spicy scenes, and. he'll choose in no specific order which. he wants to surprise me with. Yes, there. was a spreadsheet, chili pepper emojis. for spice level, a column for notes, needs wine, links to Spotify playlists,

etc. color coding, multiple tabs, more. organization than even I was expecting. It will be ongoing and is now shared so. I can drop in my own chili peppers and. notes. After all of this, I showed him. my original post and the update. We. listened to two hot takes together every. week, so he knew exactly what he was. looking at. By the end of reading the. comments, we were both crying, laughing. He doesn't have a Reddit account, but. he's offered to answer any questions or. DM your man with tips on how to be this.

level of iconic. We'll respond to as. many comments as we can. 11 years. I. really should have seen this coming. >> A. >> Wow. >> Oh, it's so cute. >> That's the first story I've ever been a. part of where they talk about listening. to the show. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Oh, I think there's been a few now. >> Oh my gosh. Yeah. Same. >> You're out there right now hearing your. own shenanigans. >> Oh, >> well, cuz I'm so used to that on Father.

Knows, of course. But I I just never. think that with this show. >> No. True. So true. >> That's why I love when people put. submissions into the two out takes. subreddit because it's just like it's. our family. >> Our people. Hello. >> Yeah, [laughter]. [gasps]. >> this is a different type of overwhelmed. I didn't know when you said the theme. was overwhelmed. I thought like you know. chaos. I didn't know like.

>> all different overwhelmed. >> steamy overwhelmed. >> Yeah. >> So what was the thing if you if you. really want to do that you can. >> Oh the compromise she gave him. >> No the where she had put the certain. book and he came in and said during. lunch. >> oh I'm googling the book and sexual. activity. >> [laughter]. >> It might be a rim job. I've never read. the book. >> I'm unclear. But, you know, when someone.

when a guy is going up and being like, "You can do it if you really want to.". It doesn't sound enthusiastic, which I don't know. >> That's why I'm so curious what it what. it is. >> Yeah. I don't want to spoil the book for. you, but I think it's leaning towards. Rim job. Um, and people were criticizing. it because they went from back to front. and the person on Reddit was like, "Why. are they doing that? You're not supposed. to go from back to front because of.

infection.". They were really analyzing the book. So, I do [clears throat] think it might be. >> rim job. >> H. >> Okay. >> Well, glad I asked, I guess. >> Yeah. Yeah, you did. You brought that. upon yourself. >> Provided that to everyone. >> Yeah. But I think this is so fun. And I. hope people listening are taking this as. their own inspiration. And there's so. many scenes I feel like in books that. I've read where I'm like, "This could be. fun." So now I'm going to like go back.

and find them and highlight them and. just Here you go. >> Yeah. I love that. >> You just thought that to yourself. >> just now. Yeah. >> No, but when you're reading, you're just. like, "Yeah, that could be fun.". >> Yeah. I mean, it's hot. I feel like when. I was reading Fourth Wing, I texted you. cuz you were out of town the whole time. I was reading Fourth Wing and the. Imperium series cuz I I got through all. three books in 5 days and Justin was. basically gone the four days and he came. home like the last day I was finishing. the book and it was it was kind of at a.

point in the books where like I was just. kind of crying a lot and there was less. hot stuff happening. >> like I hadn't even come home. >> No, I kind of ignored him. I literally. he got home and I I fully ignored him. because I'm like, I'm just gonna finish. my book. Thanks. >> And um but I did text you when you were. gone. I was like, "God, this book is so. hot. I have to have you read this page.". >> You just lose yourself in reading. And I. I really hadn't enjoyed reading for a. while until Fourth Wing again. >> And I was depressed. And I read that.

book and I was like, "Life is great.". Yes. And I don't know what it was. cuz it's. just like that romantasy. >> Ro fantasy. What are we calling it? >> Oh, I don't know. >> Romant romant. I don't know. I'm going to stop trying. I'm embarrassing myself. But I just I. feel like that genre is so fun and light. and I'm really trying to get in Acatar,

guys. But that first book is I start it. and then I'm like, >> you started it? >> Yeah. And then I put it down. >> You didn't like it? I'm having a hard. time, but people are like, "Just get. through the first one. You'll be good.". I will say actually that the first one I. still liked it, but I remember thinking. like people are saying this is the. greatest love story. I was like, it. feels very like mid to me. >> Well, and I'm also coming off a fourth. wing, which I feel like I shared on my. Instagram story and everyone was like,

"Yes, I literally was so depressed after. reading the three and getting done." So, I think a lot of people felt the way I. felt where I just wasn't ready to move. past FourthWing. I actually started the. graphic audio. >> version on Spotify because you get I. didn't realize you get 15 hours a month. of audio books on Spotify. >> Yeah. >> So, I was like I was like, "Oh, let me. go." And then I've now got it out of my. system to where I think I'm ready to. give Avatar fresh eyes. Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, I I still loved the first.

book, but I just remember being like, I'm kind of surprised people are saying. this is like a insane insane love story. because it just felt a little like not. that insane. But then you get to the. second book and it's like, >> oh yeah, baby, this is where it's at. Okay, I'm so excited to get there. I had. a friend who [laughter]. whenever I was reading Agatar, she said. that she started acting out the scenes. with her partner and I was like, "Stop.

You're ruining it for me." Because then. I'd be reading the book trying to like. be in a total different world and then. they'd pop into my head and I'd be like, "Ah, get out." [laughter]. >> That's hilarious. >> Oh my god, I sound like a little kid. Ew. I wasn't happy about it. No, that's. the last thing. Oh my, Dude, that would. actually ruin the book for me if you. [laughter] told me that. And I was like, you're like, "Yeah, well, when you get. to that one scene, me and Brian did.

that." I'd be like, [laughter] "What the. fuck?" It would just be like an. intrusive thought that floats by and. it's just so unfair. [laughter]. >> Mhm. Okay, we're moving on to this next. one. Okay, this is coming from r/. relationship advice. It is titled. boyfriend 21 male is upset that I'm 21. female going to the zoo with my mom. while pregnant. I'm looking for another. perspective in this because I think he. may be overreacting, but he says it's.

perfectly valid. For more context, my. mom and I had booked tickets for a. comedy show nearly 2 years ago before my. boyfriend and I even got together. We. always had a plan to have a. motheraughter weekend together as it is. in a different city and we never spend. one-on-one time like that together very. often. I got with my boyfriend a bit. over a year ago now. Please no judgment. on how quickly I got pregnant and it's. been a bit rocky. He's never really. liked my family and my family hasn't.

liked him. Anyways, I'll be 34 weeks. pregnant for this comedy show and my mom. really wants us to go to the zoo as well. because she hasn't been since we were. babies and she never gets to travel out. of our hometown to do so. I thought it. was a great idea and I would love to do. this with my mom. When I brought this up. with my boyfriend, he instantly turned. cold and angry, saying that it's not. right that I'm taking away something.

special to him being our daughter's. first zoo experience. >> Wow. [snorts and laughter]. He was already upset about this comedy. show for a while because it's also his. favorite comedian, but I kept telling. him we booked it well before you came. along. And now we are doing the zoo, which also turns out to be his favorite. place as well. He thinks my mom is doing. this on purpose to spite him and shun. him from his daughter already, which I'm.

trying to explain that she isn't even. born yet. This is for my mom and I. But. he won't listen and is still very angry. about it. I don't really want to say no. to this zoo trip, but if it's causing. this much drama, then maybe I should. run. [laughter]. Um I this like level of whatever you. want to call this is scary to me. That's.

something that could, in my opinion, turn scary. >> This is insane behavior. >> Controlling, abusive, manipulative, insane behavior, and. >> you're 21. This is not normal. You might. not know yet, which is why OP, I think, is writing in saying, "I think he may be. overreacting, but he says it's perfectly. valid." No, I'm sorry. His feelings, this is the one time where I'm like, "His feelings aren't actually valid. His.

feelings are possessive. Yep. And goofy. and [ __ ] up. A lot of this happens. slowly. And so somebody might be like, "Oh yeah, well he loves the zoo. He. wanted to go like blah blah blah." But. it's like, no, this is the details of. this is what makes it scary and what. [clears throat] makes it snowball to a. point one day where she's in danger. I. mean, I think the the very common. thought is the fact that, well, I'm.

pregnant. I need to stay with the other parent. because n. >> we're about to have this baby together. and that's what people do and that's how. it's supposed to go. >> if. >> we need to stay together for the child, which I mean, we've if you've listened. to the show long enough, we've all seen. >> [ __ ] him. We've all seen that it can be. so much more healthy for a child with. you guys split up and happy than it is.

with you guys together and unhealthy. And there's a lot of different. >> He's separating from our family. >> Yes. We're on a very rocky foundation as. it is. And you know, like Lauren was. saying, we're starting to see through. the cracks. >> Mhm. >> And we're seeing we're getting a preview. of what forever is going to look like. Yeah. >> And it's probably going to get worse. because things tend to get worse, not. better,

>> right? >> With this sort of thing, >> specifically if they get away with it. If if she says like, "Okay, I won't go. with my mom to not cause drama." Then. that tells him it it's like it's like a. toddler. like it like tells him that. that's okay and then he continues this. bad behavior and honestly I mean that. isolation that is that's a manipulation. tactic and to isolate from her mother. who wants to go to a zoo. Mom's not. saying let's go to the club honey let's.

take some awesome shooters. No, she says. I want to go to the zoo. Like that's. crazy if you're going to have a problem. with that. And also, if I'm pregnant, I'm going to do whatever I want. >> Yeah, Lauren. [laughter]. Damn straight. Also, your daughter is. not going to know she's at the zoo. >> Well, that's that's Yeah, [laughter]. >> I mean, I know that isn't literal. I. know that's just like saying that to. just use another manipulation tactic, >> but just.

>> I was going to ignore that one, but. yeah. No, you're. >> you can't though. It's just like it's so. >> But that's the emotional abuse of it. Mhm. >> You're taking away that experience of. the first time my daughter goes to the. zoo. >> I'm going to the zoo. >> She's not born yet. I'm going to the zoo. with my mom. This is the [clears throat]. last time me and my mom will go to the. zoo. >> without me having a baby. >> Like, this is quality time. Also, if the. zoo is his other favorite place, why.

haven't we been to the zoo, babe? >> Truly. >> Why don't we have a membership? Why are. we going to the zoo all the time? >> Truly. Well, the baby's been in the. belly for 9 months. There was 9 months. to go to the zoo with you. >> 34 weeks. Why haven't we been to the zoo. yet? If that was important to you. >> Yeah. >> No, it's manipulative. >> Mhm. >> Top comment does talk about this, too. The daughter that's currently in your. womb, that daughter's first zoo. experience. I think I can see why your. family doesn't like him. Oh, yeah. Next.

one. Someone responds to that. I was. pregnant in jail. Does that mean my son. was also in jail? He'll be excited to. know. >> What the [ __ ] [laughter] I just like. really how. >> he'll be excited to know. >> I was like, did I just read that right? [laughter]. Someone responds, my mom was 5 months pregnant with me. when she and my dad went to Disneyland's. opening weekend. I absolutely brag about. being there for the opening. And if my. mom had been in jail instead, hell yeah.

I'd be bragging on that instead. I mean, yes, you are there, but it's you're not. experiencing it. But yes, you were. there. You were. >> [ __ ] floating in amniotic fluid. I. don't think that counts. >> You're there. You're not experiencing. it, but you're there. Mhm. Yep. Because. when you're in the womb at Disneyland. that way and mom eats a Mickey pretzel, you're getting some of that pretzel.

>> Wow. So maybe you are experiencing it on. some level. You're getting that pretzel, Lauren. Goes right through the tube. >> I feel like we're going backwards. >> We're going backwards and we cannot give. this person an ounce to stand on. U a. lot of people do call into question the. fact that OP says we booked these comedy. tickets 2 years ago. However, people. come to bat quickly. Someone says, "You. think this is real? sale if she booked. comedy show tickets 2 years ago. Someone.

responds, "Darcy and Jur were supposed. to tour in early 2025. Tickets went on. sale in 2024. Then Jur got cancer and it. got pushed back a year. It happens." And. then next person comments, "Depends. I. know at least one comic that delayed. their tour because of their partner's. cancer." And a lot of people keep. bringing up that same comic duo or. comedian and partner. Someone else. responds, "I booked tickets for a comedy. show 18 months ahead, an international. act with many stops through my country.

Finally get to see it next month. It's. possible the show had been rescheduled. as well in that time." Someone else. responds and just goes, "True." A lot of. people say, "Cut the kid loose. He's not. mature enough to handle being a. boyfriend, let alone a dad.". >> Yeah. >> A lot of people just say. other things like, "He's dumb as a. rock." The moderators of Relationship. Advice have removed the post. However, OP's account is still active. It's a.

year old. It has a verified email. They've posted a couple other times in. various subs, Clash of the Clans and Ask. Reddit subs, things like that. So, seemingly real post. So, >> I hope OP realizes like this isn't. normal behavior and does not get. separated from her family. and just. finds a way to co-parent because I do.

think in a lot of cases it is the. healthiest especially when you have. someone who's exhibiting very toxic. behavior. >> Yeah. I just like think I didn't think. as deeply about this when I was younger, but like it just scares me so much the. idea of people having to co-parent with. somebody who they just don't trust. >> that they don't trust 99.9999999%.

Yeah. >> Mhm. >> That's like likely your greatest joy in. life and you just have to hand it over. to someone that you that your stomach. turns and you're unsure about like you. know what I mean? And like. >> Yeah. That's just such a scary I think. it is why a lot of people do stay. together. >> Exactly. Because I. >> then know what's going on. I can control. where my kid is. >> We're under the same roof. And I I do I. I fully understand that.

>> Yeah, >> it is so hard cuz I I was that kid. Like. I would get dropped off at my bod's. house for holidays and my dad Jerry. would be a block away sitting at the gas. station in case I needed him. >> Like my mom was petrified. Like [snorts]. stuff did happen, [sighs]. >> you know. >> And so it was really hard. And I think. my mom had faith too that like I had. protectors around me. My grandma was. amazing. There were other family members. that were really good and whatever, but.

>> they can only do so much. And so. >> there were times where I was racing into. the house trying to get away and like. calling my dad Jerry to like, "Okay, come get me. Come get me." And it's it's. crappy. And that's like a very real fear. a lot of these parents have. And it's. just. >> and like specifically. like not knowing who they're going to. bring around your child like when they. start dating again like. >> Yeah. It's like it's like, okay, maybe.

maybe I can kind of trust this person, but do like do I trust who they're. bringing over? Oh, and that's the other. thing. I know someone who shares custody. with their ex and he's now seeing. someone else and her daughter is like. staying at this new girlfriend's house. and instead of like at home in her bed. and when she stays at the girlfriend's. house she's sleeping in a living room on. a couch and it's like. >> so you can stay at your girlfriend's.

like no this is a three-year-old baby. that should be at home in her bed. >> Yeah. And that's the trickiness of. navigating custody and just so tough. It. is it's insane. >> Be careful who you have kids with. >> And that's the thing. You should be. choosy who you have kids with. And I. don't want to shame OP. I mean, she even. said it in her post like. >> don't give me flack for how quickly I. got pregnant. And. >> accidents happen, whatever. You know, here you are now. But how do you deal.

with it the best way forward? Yeah, >> the safest for you, the safest for your. child, >> and you got to determine that. But you. you shouldn't lose touch with your. family. >> Definitely not. Do not do that. >> No, that's when things go bad. >> Anyone who's listening, don't let your partner isolate you from. people who you know you love, like your. family. I will say too, like don't be. afraid to talk to your friends. Don't be.

afraid that your friends are going to. judge you and if I tell them there's no. coming back from this. Your friends are. going to want what's best for you and. they should know what's going on. If. you're in a tough spot, they should keep. an eye out. Like tell people you you. have to at least tell someone. And I get. a lot of messages like I don't know what. to do. I'm trying to leave. I'm trying. to plan. And the less you say to the.

person you're trying to get away from, the better. Like, if you need to leave. in the middle of the night or while. they're at work, do it. Do what is best. and safest for you. There are so many. resources out there with domestic. violence hotlines and shelters and local. organizations in your area. do what you need to do to be safe, but. you do not need to be stuck under. someone's thumb, unhappy, unhealthy. situations. Like, you don't have to be.

in them. >> I know it is so hard to get out and. finances can be a big barrier, but there. are resources out there. >> And if you have family that can help, reach out to them, friends, like just to. get out and get back on your feet. But. be safe about it. Moving on to this next one. This is coming from r/ relationship. advice. It's titled, "I, female, 25, found out that my boyfriend, male, 27,

is sexing AI girls. Is this crossing a. boundary?" My boyfriend is texting AI. girls. I feel like it crosses a. boundary. What are your thoughts on. this? Am I being irrational? In some. aspects, I understand why he would do. it. My boyfriend has a very high sex. drive and I don't. It's something I'm. trying to work out slashwork on. I know. it's hard for him. I never really want. to have sex and I never really feel. horny either. We have sex usually once a.

week. I'm 25 and he's 27. We've been. together for almost 6 years. We also. both work very stressful, demanding. jobs. I'm a teacher, so I come home. after work and having sex is the last. thing I want to do. So, he usually waits. until the weekend. It hurts my feelings. that he's doing this, but I also know. that I don't fulfill that desire for him. because of how rarely we have sex. He. doesn't know that I'm aware that he's. doing this. Please be kind. Any.

thoughts, advice, or suggestions are. appreciated. >> H, it's better than real girls, I guess. I [snorts] mean like you know. >> in tier of things [laughter]. and it could be worse you know. >> well it's like I don't know this is such. new territory. >> but the thing. >> I've been waiting for this to come up. have you. >> yes of course. >> the time has come this is now going to. be like a topic of conversation moving.

forward because it's going to become. very normalized I mean people are having. relationships with AI to the point They. are marrying AI. So respect. >> I don't even How is that even like. >> No, >> legally recognize. >> I don't I'm justgan. Don't make that. [laughter] face. >> Ew. >> It's like muring your car, but like even. weirder cuz your car actually exists in. front of you. >> Actually, >> like you could stick it in the tailpipe. if you wanted.

>> When I So Whoa. Did you just say what I. thought you said? [laughter]. >> Justin's off the rails. That's a new one. for you. >> I mean, there was that guy who did. >> Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about. >> He did do his car. He was on that TLC. show. >> But I have so many thoughts with this. one. Number one, >> I know someone who is pretending to be. an AI girl on Instagram.

to gain followers and then get money. And a big part of that is like then. opening up a business and like. responding to these people. Do you know. who that person is running the account. of an hot AI. >> bombshell? A guy. Who do you think. you're sexing when it's an AI girl? >> Oh, the tables have turned. >> So, I would ask your boyfriend. You're. probably texting a guy. Is it as hot?

knowing that you're sexing with a guy. pretending to be a hot girl. >> Is this like an Instagram thing? I. thought this. >> it's a big thing. But it's like. literally I've talked to them about it. It's like a pyramid scheme. >> I figured it was an app that he was on. or like some type of. >> No, they they create these profiles on. Instagram. >> But are we sure that's what this is or. is this. >> He is texting AI girls. We have no idea. what it is. And that's also kind of a. boundary thing for me where I'm like, you're sexing so you're communicating.

It almost feels like an emotional. affair. It's not just going on and. watching porn where you're not. physically talking to or interacting. with those people. Like they're sexing. >> Yeah, >> that's kind of a different thing than. just watching porn. >> I feel like sexing isn't texting. >> Also true. >> It's also still technically in that. fantasy. >> What the hell is happening? >> I don't know. It's a weird rage. >> It's a weird story. Okay. Would you be.

okay with your boyfriend texting an AI. girl being like, "Wow, my girlfriend. doesn't put out. We We don't line up. sexually, so I'm so glad I have you to. talk to. Please talk to me till my dick. gets hard so I can get off.". >> Okay, calm down. That you're okay with? >> Are you No, I'm not. Are you sure that. that's what's going on? Or or is he just. like. >> He's sexing AI girls. That's all I have. >> Yeah. Well, what if he's just like, "Ooh, like what would you do to me?" And.

then he's and then he's picturing his. girlfriend do that to him. I don't know. what it is. Like, >> well, he's not he's probably not. picturing the girlfriend. He's probably. picturing the AI girls. But then we're. just still in a weird territory cuz it's. someone or something that doesn't really. exist. So, [laughter] it's all like. fantasy pretend makebelieve. You might. as well be thinking about it just in. your mind making it up because it's not. real. but the messages are real and the. responses are real, but it's from.

something that doesn't really exist or. it's from some person behind the scenes. pretending. So, it's like it never would. actually. become a physical relationship. obviously. >> But I think that's why OP's confused on. if she should be upset or not. And I and. I guess like. >> Yeah, that makes sense. And I guess for. OP, some people enter relationships and. they think that literally looking at. some like someone's direction is. cheating. Like obviously I'm being.

>> hyperbolic. >> Yeah. Hyperbolic, [laughter]. >> overexaggerating. But my point is is that when you enter a. relationship, cheating. is what you guys decide it is. Some. people are in relationships where they. hook up with people, other people, and. they're very happy in those. relationships. So, it's like every. relationship like it doesn't have to be. what like what does society say? It's. like what feels right or wrong for you. guys in your heart and your stomach.

Like, yeah, that's a very valid point. I. mean, we've talked about this quite a. bit in the past. Some people view strip. clubs as a form of cheating. >> That is so fair and valid for their. relationships if that's the boundary. they set. So I guess for this. now you found it out. Set the boundary. and then like but you shouldn't have to. keep monitoring him. >> She doesn't even really know a boundary. to set though. It's kind of like. >> what is this? It's almost like you're. looking for other people that are in the.

same situation because there's no. examples or context to pull from. It's. so new. >> Exactly. And I think that's why she's. trying to figure out like is this how. should I feel because I think she does. have mixed feelings about it because. like you said it's never going to turn. into something real because it's not a. real person allegedly like I don't know. who he's messaging but like. >> let's say it's just a robot. It's it's. AI. It's just words that are being you. know it's not an a person. So I think.

she's trying to like wrestle with it in. her head. Yeah. >> Does that mean that it doesn't bother me. or is it still hurtful because the idea. is still there, the fantasy is still. there and it's not me? So, we do have. some comments from OP. Someone goes, "Everyone has a different line of what. counts as cheating or crossing a. boundary in relationships. For some. people, it's porn. For others, it's. kissing. And others, it's sex, etc. Personally, I wouldn't stay with a man. sexing anyone, whether real or not.

However, it all really depends on. whether you care or not. I'd be worried. if it ended with AI girls or if one. thing leads to another. I would also be. worried that I would personally not feel. good that I'm not fulfilling my. partner's desires, even though that's. just a compatibility thing and not a. reflection on me as a person. It sounds. awful, but sometimes people just aren't. compatible sexually, and the. relationship can only go so far. OP. responds, "It definitely makes me feel. like I'm not good enough. If he said the.

things to me that he said in the. messages, I'd probably have more desire. to have sex. Honestly, >> someone goes, "Maybe tell him that.". >> Yeah. >> Perhaps he thinks you wouldn't be into. that kind of talk or sexual expression. It will be an awkward convo, but I would. tell him you found it and that you feel. sad because you'd enjoy that kind of. chat, but he's saying it to a robot. instead. >> Yeah, totally valid. Someone responds, "I'm not being devil's advocate, but you. let it reach a point for a long time. where you're not giving him any physical.

intimacy. You can't sit there and say. you feel inadequate. How do you think. your partner has felt being rejected for. years?" She said they hook up once a. week. What do you mean rejected for. years? >> The person got downvoted five times and. I'll give him a sixth. [laughter]. Um, someone responds, "Bruh, it's not. that she's denying him sex. They still. have it once a week, which seems to be. in the normal range.". So, other comments from OP say this. I. don't like that he watches porn, and.

we've had that conversation before. He. says that watching porn is just a. release, and he doesn't feel any emotion. behind it, but it makes me insecure, I. guess, which I know is my own issue that. I'm trying to work on. I don't know how. to approach this conversation with him. because he doesn't know that I know. We. have sex once a week, sometimes twice on. the weekends. I will admit I usually do. have sex when I don't really want to. because I know it's an important part of. our relationship for him. He never makes. me feel pressured or obligated. Anytime. I've said no, he's respected and.

understanding. This whole AI thing just. makes me feel icky. I know. I don't want. to tell him that I found out because the. whole conversation will shift to me. looking at his phone. I do like sex in. the moment. I really enjoy it. It feels. good. I feel connected to my boyfriend. and loved. It's getting to that point. that I struggle with. It's the buildup I. struggle with, not the actual sex. I'm curious because somebody had said. this to me randomly, how she was on like.

an SSRI, an anti-depressant, and she had. to get off it because like it was like. hurting her intimacy with her husband. >> Yeah. >> And so I'm just out of curiosity cuz I. didn't know that was a thing. And so I. guess that's why I'm saying it out loud. because I wonder if that has anything to. do with with OP's. >> It definitely could. >> Yeah. >> I mean OP does have a comment here. It's. like you were reading my screen. >> Really? >> OP says, "I do take medication for. anxiety, ADHD, and I'm on birth control.

Like I said, I'm trying to figure it out. because I can't really function without. those meds. Lol.". >> Completely understanding. I think that. would be worth going to doctor therapist. and like talking through potentially. switching and trying a different. medicine cuz like for some people it. just doesn't it just doesn't work with. you know like for some people an. anti-depressant can make them more. depressed like it's like everything is. different and there's different recipe.

for every person. >> Yeah. So I think it might be worth. looking into that. I agree. >> as far as approaching the conversation. >> Yeah. Back to the actual. >> I don't really know if you. my gut is almost like he'd probably be. really hard to catch, but my gut would. be wait just be like be more of a hawk. where you can catch a message popping up. or something. I don't know. But it. wouldn't happen when you're watching.

>> I It sucks you have to do that. You need. to communicate your feelings because it. it will. >> it will snowball into something bigger. and it will start to really make you not. interested in him and it will have. larger implications than just the the. intimacy in your relationship. It'll. have relationshipwide. consequences. And if you guys have been. together this long and everything's. amazing. Yeah, we're figuring out the. intimacy part a little bit here and we. all go up and down and on a roller.

coaster with that. That's normal. Then there is something worth saving. here and to see if we can get to the. point. But I also understand the concern. about bringing it up because that will. be the response. That's always the. response. Even when someone's cheating. and they're caught red-handed, it's why. why did you come home early? You're not. supposed to be here. Why? So, it's like. flip it on the person. >> It just it's so tricky. >> It's but that's not necessarily right.

Like that's not right. That's not. healthy. You should be able to. communicate with your partner. >> But honestly, reading that comment where. she's like, "No, I do enjoy sex. It's. just getting there, >> right?" Well, that's also what made me. wonder about the. >> and I could see medication playing a. role, but also like me, I'm not on any. medication, and I'm not instantly ready. to go. I think a lot of women out there.

need more of a buildup. You need more of. like, I don't know, a gentle butt. squeeze as you're at the kitchen sink. that emotional, mental intimacy that. comes before actually having sex. >> And I feel like you need that foreplay. before you're even in the bedroom. Kind. of like making you feel hot, making you. feel heard. And I feel like all I'm. hearing in this story is his needs and. how horny he is and how much porn he.

watches and how he's sexing AI girls. now. I think this person has an. unrealistic idea of sex, maybe an. unhealthy obsession with it and is even. potentially neglecting their partner's. needs and just expecting them to perform. when he wants to perform. And yeah, he. might be respectful when she's like, "I'm not in the mood." But that's the. bare [ __ ] minimum. Like, where is mention of connection and.

how she's being pleased? And granted, the post is not about that, so maybe. there's not context there, but there's. also none in the comments of him. initiating and trying things. And. >> I don't know. What are you doing? >> Razledazzle, baby. >> There it is. I was waiting for it. I. can't believe you danced around that. term the whole time you were talking. Razledazzle. >> I know that's all that was in your head. Every time you were about to say. foreplay or something, I knew that was. right on the tip of your tongue.

>> I feel like I'm missing something. Justin, explain what razadazzle is. >> It's a very commonly used term. >> Okay. >> Very. >> I guess I'm just. >> rare that I don't. >> I don't know where you picked it up. It. just started all of a sudden. >> I feel like the razzledazzle is like a. jazz show. I think for me when like. I. want to be intimate, I'm like, "Okay, lay the razledazzle on me." And I like.

that's. >> so become a thing. >> I know like I know the phrase and like. but I just didn't know that it was like. associated. >> It's not I don't think it's a common. thing. Razledazzle noisy, showy and. exciting activity and display designed. to attract and impress. When she says. rousledazzle, I I picture the birds on. like Nat Gio where like the the male. species bird needs to like dance and do. the little circle and do their display.

So, I feel like I need to start doing. that. >> Pamper me, spoil me, compliment me. I. guess I think I want the love. >> Whenever I hear razledazzle, I think of. it as like being like decorating for a. party and like going the extra nine. >> Go the extra nine. >> I've never thought of it. Yeah. I never. thought I' I don't think I've ever heard. of it in like a sexual term. >> I don't know if it exists. Like this is. something that I've been like. razzledazzle. Like that's cute. Pep it. up.

>> I like that better than when you used to. always say goofball. [laughter]. But I did like goofball, too. That was. funny. You don't do that anymore. Why. not? Probably because people like you. make fun of me. >> Yeah, Lauren, you killed it. >> I like it. My vibe. >> No, it's like a good make fun. She just. doubled down. >> It's like not to make fun of you. It's. like I'm making fun for us. You know, I'm out here trying I'm trying to not. say in meshment or goofball or at the. end of the day or literally or like.

Like is a hard one. I've in my head. tonight restarted sentences to avoid. like. It's hard. >> Yeah, it's really hard for me. >> It's hard. Um. >> I'll try to be better this year. I mean, I'm a new Webbby winner. I got to be. better. >> What's that mean? >> Uh, my my clues podcast won a Webbby. award. >> I don't know what that is. It's a It's. an award. >> Cheers. >> I don't Well, you have to pour me more.

Thank you very much. >> Where Where did you come up with the uh. the red. >> the razled? Oh, I brought the red from. home, sneakily. There was only one glass. left. That's. >> That's a rosé. It's. >> This is a buttery Chardonnay. It's. looking a little buttery. You don't want. any? >> I'm okay. Thank you. >> Okie dokie. Um, disorderly conduct. That's pretty good. I like I like the label. We don't have. an official update from OP yet. You know. what the update is going to be one day.

is instead of just talking about sexing. AI girls, it's going to be. >> my partner went to Westworld. up with robots and where's the line? Because well in Westworld it goes beyond. the Westworld world but if we imagine. that they stay there. >> I mean in Westworld the guy literally. falls in love with Dolores, >> right? >> I mean it we will get there. We're. already there. We're already there. For. some people,

>> when I watch movies like that, I always. ask people the question if they think. that they could fall in love with a. robot, and people always tell me no. And. then they follow it up with, "What about. you?" And I'm like, "For sure.". >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Cuz a robot can be really exactly who. you want them to be. >> If it was like Westworld where they are. like humanistic, >> how do you tell the difference? If you. cannot tell the difference. >> Exactly. >> Yeah. Taylor Tomlinson talks about in.

her last special, her new special, she. talks about like being the person that. would fall in love with AI. Yeah, that's. me. Have you watched it yet? >> No. >> It's so good. >> But now I feel like she's my girl. You. would love her. You would love her. She's so fun. I You It's like Humans is. the other show that I was like, "Oh, I. would fully seen that one." And there's. this one guy who like she basically the. robot basically falls in love with the. guy and he like kind of like plays with.

her heart and then just ditches her and. it's so heartbreaking. >> Wow. >> She's heartbroken and it's like when. there's consciousness it's like what's. the difference? I don't know. >> I know there's I know there's a. difference but it's like what when. there's consciousness it's like. >> lines will be blurred. >> Do you remember that first movie? um artificial intelligence with. Haley Joel Osmet and Jude.

>> Law. >> It was like this kid robot. He was the. kid that was in everything. and this family couldn't have a kid so. they got this robot. and he had this little teddy bear. This. movie I knew that that's what his face. was but no I never saw it. Kid and. everything. Have you ever seen the movie. Secondhand Lions? >> [gasps]. >> I don't think so. >> Are you kidding me? >> That's a happy watch. That's a good like. put on at night. >> Oh my god. Hands down top 10. One of my.

favorite movies of all time. >> Okay. Secondhand Lions. You would, knowing you, you would love it. It is so. good. He's in that movie as well. >> But it kind of is this, it was the first. movie. It was called AI artificial. intelligence and it was the first movie. that kind of brought forward robots and. robots developing consciousness and they. have feelings and you retire slash get. rid of them but you treated them as a. part of your family. It was a crazy.

movie and it's from what year is this. from? Okay, it's 2001 but it I swear to. God it felt like it was from the '9s. when I watched it. >> But okay, >> it's a crazy concept. Crazy concept. I. love like futuristic movies. So, if. anyone has good Rex, send them my way. >> I think you'd like that one, too. It is. really, really good. But with this. person, I think you are so fair to have. your boundary, and you do need to talk. to him and get on the same page. You're.

dating. You're not married yet. You're. also 25. >> Yeah. >> This potentially is just not a good. match for you. And maybe there's a lot. of factors, there's a lot of context. missing, but. there's a lot going on here. And I think. you're fair to have these boundaries. Does OP have more responses or we kind. of got into them all. >> Okay. >> The last response, I guess. I never really had this.

boundary until I found out about this. I. never thought about this scenario. before, so I haven't had a boundary for. it. I guess if you don't have anything. to contribute, just keep scrolling, dude. in response to someone kind of. trolling her and just being a dick, but. very real account. Seemingly a part of. the two-year club. Lot of different. achievements. including streaks, exploration awards, community moderation awards. Very seemingly real account. Got a.

Detective Doggo award. I like that one. Very cute. Look at this little guy. Detective Doggo. Nice. >> I want that. >> I know. Me, too. got it back in 2024. So, >> do you guys get those things? Do you. guys post? >> I don't really post from my th. >> um Reddit anymore. I used to have like. haters literally like find my comments. and just like be like, "Fuck you, Morgan." [laughter]. So, I stopped posting on that one. I was. like, "Fuck fuck.".

>> Okay, >> that's funny. So, but do you have like a. I have like a throwaway account that. >> I posted stuff on? >> I haven't No, I haven't posted anything. >> No, but I just like I like to leave. comments. Like if I see a post where. someone's. >> really struggling and just like I don't. know what to do, it's it's I don't know. I'm just going to be like. >> throw my hat in the ring of like here's. resources. is like there was someone I. saw struggling to like find therapy and. I like sent them emotions anonymous. which is like not therapy but it's a.

free group where you can at least go. talk to people connect with people. >> so I like message people or. >> we'll comment from time to time but I. just like it's nice to not have it. traceable like I'm not. >> I'm not trying to get karma I'm just. like. >> trying to participate in Reddit in the. way I used to because. >> that's why I started this I found joy. >> going on Reddit and just being a part of. a community and helping and. contributing.

>> Yeah. >> And that's what we try to do here every. week. >> I love it. >> But yeah, I do have one last one for us. How do I, female 24, nip my boyfriend's. male 26, weaponized incompetence in the. bud? My boyfriend and I have been living. together for about a year now. He moved. into my apartment for reference. It's. been amazing. But recently, I've begun. to notice more and more instances of. just flatout incompetence from him that.

are either new or no longer explainable. by him being new in my apartment, which. him and I both consider ours now. Some. examples being me asking him to put away. our mop, and him saying, "I don't know. where it goes. It's never not been in. the pantry. Me cleaning and asking him if he could. just finish by mopping the floors. And. after I asked him later that day if he.

did it, he said he looked everywhere and. couldn't find the mop. This was shortly. after the last incident where he ended. up putting the mop away himself. More. examples are me asking if he could. vacuum our bedroom. I have bad allergies. and vacuum often. and him playfully. saying, quote, "I don't know how,". yet still not doing it. He does the. playfully saying, "I don't know how, I.

don't know where, I don't know what. thing," and then proceeds to not do it. more and more often. now just looking. for a way to confront this behavior ASAP. because it feels like when I get. frustrated with him when he does this. stuff, he acts the part harder and. doubles down that he genuinely doesn't. know how, what, or where I refuse to. help him. He simply does it wrong or. just doesn't do it at all. I can't keep. walking him through basic tasks. Having.

to keep tabs on everything in the. apartment that needs to be done myself. and keep doing everything for two by. myself. >> So frustrating. >> I want to throw him off a cliff. [laughter]. >> Wow. >> Just kidding. >> Just kidding. I'm sassy from the wine. Well, and it's like my partner is like. there's things that he's done along. these lines, too, but like I can't tell. if I don't know if it's weaponized.

[laughter]. The thing is is that he grocery shops. and cooks every single meal, so he makes. up for it in other ways. >> So, I feel like I'm like I'll get. frustrated, but I'm like I mean, I guess. I can pull my weight, too. >> [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> So, I mean, if I were to be doing the. cooking and that, I would lose my mind. and I would literally be like, "This is. not going to work." But like, I feel. like there's there's a lot of weight.

pulled. So, it's it's really. >> That feels like a fair trade-off for. you, though. >> But to not have to cook, >> ever. >> Like, literally. >> Yeah. But it's just but it's still. really annoying when I'm just like. I'm like can you could you just clean. the counters? I'm so busy. And he's like. yeah cleans the counters. And I'm like. did you clean the counters? And he's. like yeah. And I'm like no you didn't. >> I wiped it with a paper towel. >> Is your definition of clean different.

than his? >> Very like I'm like no. I'm like there's. a dried up sauce like spilled all across. the counter. What do you mean? He's. like, "I cleaned." [laughter]. No, you didn't. >> I I think I've come to terms with the. fact that my definition of clean will. never be reached until there's a. full-time staff like in Bridgetgerton. that is constantly cleaning everything. And that's.

>> I am a tornado. [laughter]. I don't know how it happens. I'm It's your love for clothes. >> I'm a messy person, but I really feel. like I do try. I try. You guys are clean. though. >> She tries like Brian. Brian clean. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> [ __ ] you guys. But but you guys are. clean. Like you're a like kitchen and. bathroom. Like those are all like clean. It's not untidy. I just have too much. stuff. So my goal right now is to really.

purge and donate and declutter. I'm I. need to declutter. >> Yeah. But I also live in a very very. teeny tiny house. Like it's tiny. It's,00. square ft. And I just don't have enough. room for how many things I've. accumulated over the years. It feels. bigger than that because you guys have. like the like the front and the back. area. I didn't realize it was. >> tiny. >> Yeah. And a lot of our space is the.

living room and the kitchen. Like. bedrooms are. >> like 10 ft by 10 ft. So, you're kind of. in a box in the back, but like the. common areas do feel open, >> right? >> Hence, >> we're doing a bigger house soon. So, it's like, okay, >> but I I I'm trying to be clean. I'm. really trying. [laughter]. >> Oh, we'll get there. We'll get there. Uh, but I really don't know how to deal. with a partner like this because it. feels like there's always a way out. It's just got to get to the point where.

it actually turns serious. It's not an. ultimatum, but it's like this is. starting to actually take a toll on me. and how I view the relationship. >> Otherwise, it'll never be taken. seriously. It'll just be I don't know. because it's a game that they're getting. away with. >> They can't get away with it. >> That was going to be my question to you. guys. Is it more so the fact that he's. playing dumb that's the problem versus. not doing it? I'm like, I understand.

like you forgot to do it. you didn't do. it or you attempted to do it and you. didn't do it well and you're just kind. of spacing it out. But I think it's the. fact that he keeps genuinely. continuously playing dumb. I don't know. where the map goes. >> He put it away last. >> I think that weaponized incompetence is. like way worse. However, if it's just. like somebody, they just genuinely like. are like, "I don't know where the broom, I don't know how to do this." And like,

and you try to teach them and they. genuinely don't understand and it's not. weaponized, then it's kind of like, "Well, that's concerning too." Sure. Like, why can't you like this is. important to me? Like, why can't you. take a second to let your brain like. take this in, take notes? Like, I don't. know. Like, what do you need to do? Do. you need to go to a class? Like, >> is that how you would confront them? >> What? >> Class. [laughter]. Do you need to go back to eighth grade. home? >> Think about all the people just in the. class like this is how you wipe a. counter and they're all [laughter] doing. it together.

>> Like it's actually hilarious. >> Honestly, I would like to go to that. [clears throat]. >> Just [laughter]. everyone needs There's so many like. common little skills you don't even know. you need. Did you know you're supposed. to open the front of your washing. machine and drain it? >> There's a lot of things like that. I. have not had a washing machine. >> Well, I'll let you do it on mine. [laughter]. >> I'll let you attempt it on mine cuz I. tried it once and it flooded my laundry. room. That's my next like stage in life.

that I want to get to is like having an. in-unit washer and dryer because I I. like over this past year I realized I. have never had one besides when I was a. kid growing up. I will say though, the. one that I lived in with uh O like most. recently, it was like right downstairs. so and it was only a one floor. So it. almost felt like it was downstairs of. our place. So. >> versus like a common area you had to. walk through a whole complex. >> Yeah. Like I've had it before where I.

literally had to like walk a mile. through the desert. >> Not actually, but like it felt like. that. >> Yeah. So, the top comment on this one with. 10,000 up votes when he does the I don't. know, the response is quote, "Are you. serious?" or "Are you just saying that. to get out of doing work around our. house?" And if he says he really doesn't. know, then say, "Well, you managed to.

find your clothes and shoes in the. apartment every day, so I'm not sure why. you can't find the mop." and he'll. probably say something like, "Well, those are my things." And you respond. with, "So, what you're saying is, "It's. not up to you to keep our place clean, so you don't need to remember where it. is." Followed by, "So, how many times. does your boss have to tell you exactly. how to do things at work?" Or, "Well, how do you manage to play X video game.

if your memory is so faulty?" Hm. God. >> But honestly, about halfway through. that, you'll find out whether a light. bulb goes off over his head or if you'll. be having this conversation or doing all. of the work for as long as you live with. him. Well, honestly, his reaction to my. first question will tell you everything. you need to know. That is actually. something I've used before, the work. thing, to try to get it through to. partners. Like it actually does help.

because if a partner is trying to tell. you that they just can't and it's. something that they could if it was to. their [clears throat] boss, >> then you're like, "Okay, so you can you. just choose not because you're not. prioritizing something that I care. about.". >> Mhm. >> And then like that's like they're like, "Whoa, you're right.". >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> I mean there's got to be tradeoffs. Is. mopping fun? No. Is doing laundry fun? No. But there's got to be tradeoffs and.

a team effort. If you're all splitting. the chores evenly, everyone takes a. turn. You I do like your scenario. I. kind of have a similar one. I don't cook. much. I hate cooking. I love a meal kit. delivered right to you, but like other. than that, >> Justin does a lot of the cooking. So, I. will try to do laundry or I went hands. and knees and I scrubbed our grout in. our shower over the course of 6 hours.

and I'm still working on it, but like. I'll do more things like that. Like we. we have tradeoffs in terms of what we. do. And he's really good about all the. trash bins and he wheels those down all. the time. And we house cleaner. Why? Why. would you do that? Like six hours. scrubbing your shower. Like they have. special tools for that. >> My house isn't clean enough to bring a. cleaner in yet. I have too many clothes. all over the place and I need to just. declutter before someone can come in my.

house. >> You could go on Task Rabbit and be like, who has special tools to get this off of. my shower and just have them do the. shower the 6 hours? You're doing that. for six hours? Well, you know that Dawn. dish soap, the power scrub. It's meant. for really crazy dirty pans. >> They have better stuff than that. >> Justin's like, "Please quit telling the. people our house is so messy.". [laughter]. >> Oh, no. I'm just I'm I'm I'm listening. here. And Lauren's trying to give you. copout ways to not not contribute. [laughter].

>> I thought I was doing a good thing. >> You are. No, we definitely want to get. there to where neither of us have to. really clean. >> I mean, oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, just like we want we want we. definitely want help. Um I just need to. >> I need. I [laughter] need less [ __ ] Call the. closet organizer. I'm going to. declutter. I'm going to downsize, but. it's also again small house. I can only. do so much. I've literally packed up. half my clothes and put them in the. garage. Whatever. Besides the point, we.

do uh get a minor update on this one. I'd like to thank everyone for their. rage. first of all because it was. driving me absolutely nuts and I felt. quite sane after reading everyone's. comments. I'd also like to say I have no. intention of breaking up with him. People are imperfect. Men especially so. this I have always understood and. genuinely do but have room to tolerate.

Yesterday I confronted him directly. We. were about to settle down and relax and. I basically told him I'm constantly. stressed about how dirty the house is. He said it is not dirty. I told him to. look at the floor. There's dirt and dust. visibly on it. He said that doesn't take. long to clean. I was baffled right. there. I said then clean it right now. It takes 10 minutes. He complained that.

he wanted to relax. Oh wow. >> I said. >> now I'm pissed. >> So do I. It's hard to relax when I know. there's a pile of dirt on the floor and. that I seem to be the only person. capable of picking up a broom. He said, "Get this quote. Have you considered. that I just don't want to [sighs]. done? [snorts] Move out." Oh my god. I.

was pissed. I said, "Have you considered. that no one wants to clean, but we do it. anyways because it's our shared. responsibility to clean the place we. live in?" Then it clicked for him. He. cleaned the floor and I sat my ass down. and did nothing. He cleaned all the. floors, found the mop, figured out the. vacuum. I know this could be a one-off. thing that he could never clean again. If that happens, Reddit, I will take.

your 1,000 please of leaving him more. seriously. But for now, it seems that. it's gotten to him. >> Did not see that one coming. >> Me neither. Like what? She I thought I. thought things were about to go down. >> Oh, yeah. >> I was ready for a brawl. >> That homie cleaned. >> Did I say that right? I don't even. brawl. >> I mean, I know I said it weird. [laughter]. She She genuinely Did you hear this. sentence? I'd also like to say I have no.

intention of breaking up with him. People are imperfect. Parentheses. Men. especially. So, what does that mean? >> She's not wrong. [laughter]. >> But I know what you're saying. >> What does that mean? And then to be like. for him to look her in the eyes and say, "Have you considered that? I just don't. want to. >> I would be I was so livid." Like that.

>> What's wrong with How did that click for. him when she's like, "Oh, yeah. I don't. either." And he's like, "Oh, okay.". [laughter]. >> I know. It took like a very I don't. know. [clears throat]. >> Maybe he thought she genuinely liked it. Maybe he was like, "She gets a lot of. joy in vacuuming." That could be true. >> Which I do love vacuuming, >> but that's the worst. One thing I like. >> when when it's possible. >> I'm trying. >> You know what bothers me? Putting dishes.

away. >> I don't I hate the noises. I have to. wear earplugs a lot of times. No, I get. stressed out cuz I know there's always. going to be something in there that. that's like a wonky random thing that I. don't know where to put it. [laughter]. >> Throw it away. [gasps]. >> No, it'll be like something like. >> kidding. I was fully kidding. It'll be. like a something that like Brian uses. It's like a blender smoothie cup or. something and I don't know where they go. and I don't know where to put them and. there's not room in the regular class.

>> Get the broom. >> Yeah, exactly. [laughter]. >> Where does it go? >> No, literally I'm just like I I'm too. stressed out. Where do I put this? So. then I'll leave it out and I'll be like, "Oh, I left out your things. I don't. know where they go. Can you put them. away?". >> How many times have you put them away. now? me. >> Mhm. >> I put them somewhere random every time. It's like a musical cup thing. Kind of. like that though. Keeping it interesting. for [laughter] him. >> Well, his counter cleaning and you're. leaving the cups out almost like. balances itself out. You guys are pretty.

balanced, >> I guess. So, [laughter] you do have a. lot of tradeoffs. Yeah, I think we have. a lot of trade-offs, too. >> We're getting there. >> You got a lot of [ __ ] too, my guy. Don't act all innocent. Lauren's guest. bed she's supposed to sleep on covered. with your clothes. >> Those are all of my clothes. >> I don't give him much space in the. closet. >> We're all organizing this weekend. That's what we did. >> I know. I know. [sighs]. [gasps]. >> Deep breaths. Deep breaths, guys. I hope.

a lot of you out there listening had a. great time cleaning your house while. listening to this. I know we've got a. lot of cleaners out there, a lot of. workouters out there. Let me know how. you're moving. I'm going to go back to. Pilates sometime this week. >> I would love to do a. >> of like a breakdown of like what most of. the listeners are doing are doing. >> like do we think that it the cleaners. are like are they in first place?

>> I'm not sure. We've got cleaners, workouters, a lot of drivers. Also. workers, like people who are working. >> Would running be a workout or does that. get its own category? >> Running would go into workouts cuz we. only have limited pole options. >> Mhm. >> We could put that up. >> I'd love to know. Me, too. >> Love to. >> Traveling. >> Traveling. >> cuz that you could be on a plane. >> Should we do traveling to include work, commute, >> transport? >> I feel like driving will be the number. one if we leave it on its own.

>> But I don't I think I only get four poll. options total. What about on YouTube? Do. they have stuff like that? They just. implemented a quiz feature, but I don't. think I get more on that either. Really? No. >> What if one of them's having sex? >> H. >> Yeah. I did have one other story where. some guy has a mustard fetish, but we'll. get into that later. Okay. >> People put like Spotify playlist on. What if all of a sudden they're in the. middle of it and THD comes on?

>> That's the goal. like getting a stop and. hit like no no. >> that's the goal. [laughter]. >> Do you guys listen to podcasts? Podcasts? >> Yeah, >> like in general or like during. >> in general? >> Oh well that I mean. >> I understand the confusion and PR life. kit. >> Um some other true crime stuff like. Annie Elise. I love her. She's great. Um, but some of their true crime stuff. to like especially if I'm researching. cases, I'll listen to like their. episodes on it to see. Um, but no, I'm.

in podcasts every day, all day. I just. don't I've started to listen to music. more, which is like something new. >> That is new for you. >> Yeah. Especially when I drive. >> That's amazing. >> I know. I was ju I just mentioned this. the other day that you that you're not a. the biggest music person. If I have. someone in the car with me because I. want to talk to them if I'm by myself. Music. >> and it's loud.

>> See, I'm buming. >> See, that is what I'm worried about with. my ears is that when I'm in my car by. myself, like I turn it up so loud that. like I'm like, why am I doing this to. myself? But I like I love it. It makes. me so happy. >> It is good in the car. >> Yeah. And then after I get out of the. car, I'm like, >> or if you get back in and it's like, >> oh yeah, >> a situation and you're like, "Wo, this. is loud.". >> That's exactly how I know it's bad cuz I. turn it up little by little and every. time like the beat drops, I'm like, "Yeah." Or like the chorus, you know, just a little bit more. >> What's your go-to song right now?

>> Oh my gosh. I don't know. I mean, I'm. I'm obsessed with like the entire Ariana. Grande album. Like. >> the new Did she come out with something. new? >> Yeah. >> Oh my god. I haven't listened to. >> I mean, not not super new, actually. It's It's a bit, but she is coming out. She's going on tour for it. >> There's so many artists I want to go see. on tour. >> So many. >> I'm obsessed with it. I've listened to. like all of the songs on it so many. times. Um, but when it comes to like. blasting the music and getting louder. and louder, there's like one of my.

all-time favorite songs is Drive by by. Train. It's like that I just. >> crank it. >> Oh my gosh. It's just it's so good. There's so many others.
