I think that's probably how I'm on reddit most as well Yeah, I'm like dying reddit. Yeah, or something like a game. I'm like, how do I do this thing? But no, I don't like scroll on reddit. I'm not lurking any subreddits or anything. That's true. I don't have a subreddit I go to say once you read it wrapped like not much I do sometimes go on and I get caught up in an am I the asshole story, but I'm reading it and then I'm like wait I shouldn't do this. Yeah, like I even for the stage. This is work. I don't Can't bring work home. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'll let the I'll solve this later Get some good stuff for us today. I think so. Okay. I haven't read them, but I'm about to okay reddit I sure hope he did nice Sick. Okay, let's stop these friends our first story Comes from am I the asshole posted in November of 2025 Would I be the asshole for refusing to bring a hundred dollars minimum to Thanksgiving? Okay, let's see what's going on here. Okay, my family and I celebrate Thanksgiving every year with my siblings parents and their kids Roughly 20 to 25 people including kids my family is only two people with one six-month old baby In the group chat it was decided that my nephew would cook meat since he bought a grill He also told us that we could bring the sides. He chose to spend three hundred dollars on meat I messaged in the group chat that we could bring mashed potatoes My sister responded that every family has to bring a hundred dollars worth of food minimum or help my nephew pay for the meat I'm not totally against the idea of bringing that much food But just the way it was presented and the fact that it wasn't agreed to beforehand makes me upset The following day in the group chat my sister said option one bring food enough for everyone not just yourself Option two help Thomas pay for meat a hundred dollars slash family option three help dad pay water bill two hundred dollars a family Choose wisely upset. I responded with option four don't show up Am I being an asshole if I don't show up at all in protest to this one hundred dollar minimum rule What the that's insane choose wisely to come over. It's for Thanksgiving and God could you just like chip in all for the water bill Yeah, and also you have to pay my rent. Yeah, we're looking to get an extension on the house You really use the money pay off my house Yeah, this is just absurd. I think it's always weird when money enters family. You shit like that. Oh, yeah It's messy. I think it's like very reasonable if you're like hey I'd love to like cook all the food for Thanksgiving Like if you could just like chip in like 20 bucks or something like just go to be buying everything like especially if you're like younger You know or whatever But asking someone being like hey, I chose to buy three hundred dollars of meat So can you just can you just reimburse me for that? I bought three hundred dollars of meat. I can't afford it So yeah, yeah to be clear what the family is asking for is that Between the two of them and they're six month old. They're asked them to to spend like a fifty dollar meal It's like hey, you could just go to a really nice restaurant. Yeah, instead of going to the family dinner Is it a thing at Thanksgiving because I don't celebrate it that like you you bring a piece of Bring like yeah, you bring like your own dish like it's like they would bring mashed potatoes Someone else brings green beans and it's 20 to 25 people if everybody brought like a couple sides Which is not doesn't have to be a hundred dollars. No, that's why I'm it would be like plenty food That's what I'm also wondering is like we say like a hundred dollars this like a hundred dollars of mashed potatoes It's like enough to fill this room. Yeah Like potatoes are like all that's in mashed potatoes is like potatoes in milk and butter. It's like yeah It's a lot of potatoes. It's a lot of potatoes. It's weird to be like bring money instead of just being like bring up side How do you quantify that too? It's like they're they checking? It's like did you spend a hundred dollars? I mean the receipt have bring me the receipt from yeah And they also the option of bringing up food for everyone not just yourself It's like if everyone brings enough food for everyone This house is overloaded with food. Yeah, you have excess. Yeah, these are about three hundred dollars worth of meat And it's like eight ounces of wagyu. Yeah Also to be clear if all the families help pay the water bill 200 dollars of family. How much is that water bill? That's a thousand dollar water bill. How much water? Way more dad's like why I'm always in the show We really wanted to have it for Thanksgiving The verdict was not the asshole poo mode Like so extremely Yeah, it's it's when it's just it's voted into oblivion. It's just like everyone's like my god Is that what it's called? I've been read it. It's rare. It's rare poo mode Comments not the asshole. This is a potluck not a charity dinner if your nephew couldn't afford to buy the meat. He shouldn't have bought it 15,000 upvotes Someone said the math isn't mathing $300 divided amongst 20 to 25 people is not a hundred dollars per family Someone said the math isn't mathing and just basic communication isn't communicating This whole situation is a complete zoo Someone said how did the water bill become part of the discussion to wondering does son live with the sister and is it her running? Thanksgiving grift rather than saying we can't afford to pay our bills Someone said don't forget petty option number five buy a hundred dollars worth of mashed potato ingredients and show up with 50 pounds of mashed potatoes Not the asshole one hundred dollars worth of sides per family is obscene and far too much food Someone said choose wisely would have me staying home enjoying the peace and quiet of my living room for free not the asshole We have a small little update. Oh My first update your first update. Oh my god. Can you make a bigger deal out of this please? Uh, it's just such a small one. Do you want me to make a big deal out of it though? I if you could okay? Okay? Okay? Okay? All right And then oh it seems here. We have Updates Oh my god He said it. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Who's made out of mashed potatoes. Oh my god. They killed the father. Oh That's what I would do. I think not the asshole. They pulled the kiddie pool and drowned him in it Oh my god. Oh my god. They killed him in it. Oh sick. Uh okay update I'm a teacher and she posted a picture of my salary. She found online to shame me in the group chat definitely not going now Oh This family's awful. He said you can't pay our water bill broke Like what? What a nightmare. This you? Yeah, Jesus. All right. Yeah. Don't go and probably don't show up to any family function This is the thing about Thanksgiving right where you're kind of like the meme is that oh, I gotta go see my family Yeah, it's always tumultuous You're having that shit on top of it. I'm like I'm staying home with my hundred dollars and getting dinner If the shit like that is happening before you even show up. Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be so bad Holy god. There's no there's no Thanksgiving equivalent No, even Spencer was messaging me and he was like got time off. It's like what do you guys do during Thanksgiving? And I'm like it's Thursday. Yeah. Yeah. It's literally just another day. We have nothing But I guess still I think it's the same for Christmas Well, like families get together and do have dinner to me Thanksgiving feels like first Christmas That is what it is. It's kind of feels the same the gathering feels the same. It's like a warm-up Yeah, warm-up Christmas. It truly is practice your recipes. So that I mean that's about as close as we would get is Christmas Yeah, it's like if I wanted to see my family I would Not going Yeah, don't need another excuse to avoid you back to the show All right, our next story This comes from am I the asshole? Supposed to November 2025 Am I the asshole for expressing my surprise that my fiance didn't know whom Muhammad Ali was? [ Laughter ] That's -- This is a sentence that's never been spoken for. And it's my surprise. All I did was express my surprise. You dumb-fucking idiot! How do you not know whom Muhammad Ali is? You dumbass! He died for our sins! [ Laughter ] God. Hi, the other day, my fiance and I were watching baseball and the infographic in commentary were showing some stats of Babe Ruth. So I told her -- she doesn't really watch that much baseball -- that Babe Ruth was like the Muhammad Ali of baseball. She asked me who Muhammad Ali was. And I said, "You know, Muhammad Ali." She was still confused, and I realized she didn't know who Muhammad Ali was. So I said, "How do you not know who Muhammad Ali is?" And I told her about him. I noticed she was quiet afterwards, so I asked if she was good. And she said she was hurt at the way I had been surprised at her not knowing who Muhammad Ali was. If I have to keep saying that phrase. [ Laughter ] I said he wasn't just a boxer. He was a cultural icon, so it just took me by surprise that she didn't know who he was. Then yesterday, she came across something on her Instagram and was showing it to me. It was about Timothy Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. She asked me what I thought about her, and I said I actually don't know a lot about her. I know of her, but not why she's famous. She then famed surprise and was like, "You don't know who Kylie Jenner is?" I realized she was still hurt over the Muhammad Ali thing, so I didn't say anything. I didn't point out that it wasn't really the same thing. Kylie Jenner wasn't an icon the way Muhammad Ali was. And I had heard of her anyway, but she seems still to be hurt by what I said. Was I the asshole? Edit, going to put some of my replies here. A lot of people are asking about our ages. I'm 29, she's 27. And as for how I reacted in the moment, so when the infographic popped up, I said, "Babe Ruth is like the Muhammad Ali of Baseball." She said, "Who's Muhammad Ali?" I honestly thought maybe she knew multiple important Muhammad Ali's, so I said, "You know, Muhammad Ali." And she still didn't recognize him and again said, "M Muhammad Ali, who?" And then I just said, "In a regular tone, how do you not know who Muhammad Ali is?" She said, "Why would I know of some Muhammad Ali?" And then I was stunned for a couple seconds. Maybe that showed on my face, and then I went over who he was. Oh. I just, I, I fear that this is giving like, I don't trust men on Reddit to accurately represent the way that they said something. Sure, yeah. Because I just can't believe in my heart that if it actually happened that way that she would have been upset. You'd be like, "I'm fucking idiot." I have to believe it's something like, "You don't know who Muhammad Ali is." Like, "You don't know who Muhammad Ali is." Like, "What are you shut up watching?" It's, it's such a bummer when people do that. Right? Like, it does hurt. Even if you're like, "You know, I should know who or what." Even just for a movie. It's like, "You haven't seen Monsters Inc." And it happens all the time. Yeah. Like feeling that, like being like, "Oh, like making you feel like Dom or something." Like, "You don't know." Kindly gender the Muhammad Ali of the Kardashian. [ Laughter ] Go on more. That time she just knocked out Kim. Incredible. I think there's, like, he's absolutely right in that Muhammad Ali is like this huge big icon. There's also a lot of icons in history and it's okay that someone doesn't know one of them. Yeah. Like, I just think it's like, especially if it's an interest. It's always an opportunity to be like, "Oh, like, let me tell you about this awesome person." It's cool that I get to tell you about this. Yeah, especially, like, I think it's very reasonable for, like, a 27-year-old woman to not know. Like, if you're not, like, very into sports. Like, yeah. I don't think it's out of this world. Yeah. Like, it's very much, especially nowadays, with the way the internet is so algorithmic. Yeah. Where you kind of get served your interests over and over again. It actually makes more sense nowadays. It's like, yeah, you probably don't know because it's -- is it not in your field of interest? Yeah. Then, yeah, you probably -- The internet never shows it to you. I think growing up as, like, a 30-plus-year-old, it's like, "M Muhammad Ali is, like, everywhere." Even if you don't know who he is, like, that name is just synonymous with everything. Yeah. But I feel like now it's come full circle where it's not anymore. Yeah. I mean, I'm kind of left-pop culture. I'm 26, and I'm, like, yeah. I -- there are plenty of people I know probably that don't know who Muhammad Ali is. Like, that's fine. You could have just -- he has just had LeBron. I feel like more people don't know who Babe Ruth is. It's also possible. I think it's possible for a lot of people not to know. Besides, like, then, it's the candy bar. Yeah. And a lot of them, like, people don't know, like, they don't know anything about the person. They just know of the name. Yeah. Right? It's like you hear about Martin Luther King or Gandhi. It's like, I don't know anything about Gandhi. I just know the name. Right. He sounds like a chill, dude. Sounds pretty good. I just think what we're dealing with here is he made her feel stupid, right? He's just, like, you don't know this. It's insane you don't know this thing. That's going to make a person feel insecure. And so now she's, like, doing this. The gloves are up. Yeah. Truly. Who's that? Uh, Babe Ruth of boxing. Oh, thank you. The Kylie Jenner of boxing. For someone who knows of him, it's like, oh, he's such a legend. Because not only was he, like, such a legendary boxer, but he also, like, opposed the Vietnam War and was, like, very much like a vocal person in a time where that was, like, pretty extreme. I honestly didn't know that. Yeah, no, he was extremely vocal on so many things that even by today's standards, you'd be like, whoa. So he really was truly, like, a legendary figure. So for people who know him, I get the, like, feeling of, like, whoa, you don't know who this guy is? Yeah. But she's 27 in an era where the internet is so different. I think it's, I'm like, yeah, she's not sitting here going, what is some dumbass? She's like, no, I don't, I don't know. But she's open to hearing. Yeah. It's always like a teaching moment to be like, yes, but please tell me. Yeah. I think for a lot of people, it's like, they know he's a boxer. That's it. I think there's a lot of people. It's like, do you know who Lucille Ball is? Do you know who Carol Burnett is? Like, I think her field could probably have a lot. Yeah. There's a lot of people out there that it's like-- They're making that Venn diagram. Yeah. Especially when you're talking about people who were really legendary back in the 60s, 70s, like-- I love basketball. I can name, like, every player on, like, the Showtime Lakers. But, like, yeah, I know who Muhammad Ali is, but I don't-- Yeah. That's not really a flex. Oh, no. It's not a flex. And Sean loves Dr. J. So, you know. Yeah. But anyways. Dr. J. I have no idea who that is. Julie Serving. Ooh. Basketball. That's fun. That's fun. Ha, ha. Like that. Yeah. Ha. We have some comments. There was really no verdict. The verdict overall was no assholes here. But a lot of comments are all over the spectrum. I think this is, like, a very mild am I the assholes. I feel like-- Right. I feel like this is one of the more relatable ones where everyone has someone who's done this to them. I think this is a very accurate use of this subreddit, right? Because sometimes it gets so extreme where it's like, you need to talk to, like, your friends and family. Yeah. I shot my husband. Am I the assholes? It's like, it's like, hey. But this one's a really perfect one. Because it's one of those words, like, yeah, I can see what's going on here. But we have some comments. Someone said this just makes me think of the XKCD comic where there are two ways to handle someone not knowing a specific reference. You could be an ass and say, how can you not know about this? Everyone knows about it. Or you could go in with genuine excitement and go, you don't know about this thing? Let me share with you how awesome this is. How did you go about it? And we don't know. Someone said, this sounds like no one's the asshole, honestly, just that you're both being kind of obtuse. And you'd better communicate a little better or you're going to end up on the rocks. I realized she didn't know who Muhammad Ali was, so I said, how do you not know who Muhammad Ali is? Tone matters a lot. Even if you don't think your tone was insulting, half of it is how it's taken. You should probably have a quiet conversation and just genuinely apologize because she's clearly hurt. It's not as hard as it sounds to just say, hey, I'm really sorry, I should have been more thoughtful the other day, so it didn't seem like I was talking down to you. I promise I wasn't, but I'm sorry I was careless about it. Lastly, someone said, the way this is worded, it seems like you think you're better than or smarter than your girlfriend. I'm sure that's what she's picking up on. You're the asshole. I think it's true. Tone kind of shifts this in a bunch of different directions. I think Reddit, Armchair, Therapist always comes out in these scenarios where they're like, if I was in this scenario, I would have reacted this way. You always pick a side. I think the way it's worded shows a pattern, why somebody reacted the way they do is probably because this has happened numerous times. They're at their wicks end where they're like, see, why do you always react this way? Just tell me. You don't have to be an asshole about it. I think there's a very, I think there's a very great lesson in this of just like, hey, even if you didn't intend something in a certain way, like your partner, if they take it in a way and it makes them feel something, it's like they're feeling that. You can change that. Even if it wasn't your intention, it's like just be like, hey, I really didn't mean it to come across like that. I'm really sorry I made you feel that way. Right. And this is probably the best situation to learn that lesson in. Something very low stakes to be like, oh, I can take away from this. In every single relationship. I think it's important in a relationship to clock to when it's like, oh, are we in a battle of who wins right now? Who wins and who loses? As opposed to just like, oh wait, you feel hurt. I said something that you were hurt by. Let's figure that out. Which usually, I mean, any of the people I've met, not like partners, but any friends who are like, you don't know who this is. This is, it's a chance for them to feel superior. Totally. And I think that's where the dangerous side effects come in where no one's right. You just don't know a thing. Yeah. Not knowing a thing doesn't make you stupid. Not knowing something and not always wanting to know something like, I don't know, there's too much shit. Yeah. Yeah. There's simply too much shit. What does that do to the random people that nobody would know? You don't know my buddy, Eric. What? Dude, you don't know Steve. That's crazy. What do you mean, dude? Are you fucking stupid? Oh. You don't know how to get to the restaurant later? What the fuck is wrong with you? Random pivot. You said they're at their wicks and I realize I feel like I've heard witsend. I think, yeah, I've heard both my whole life, but wicksend makes way more sense. I think I've actually, at the end of their wick and at their witsend, I think I mix them. But at the wicksend makes sense because it's about to explode. There's nothing left to burn. Dynamite's about to blow up. Yeah. Yeah. I was thinking like a candle. Yeah, you went explosive. Explosive is crazy. You went like, yeah. Because when people out there wicks end, they're going to explode. Yeah. Because it's not just die out and just die out. Dynamite has a fuse. It doesn't have a wick. Ooh. Got you. Checkmate. Am I the asshole for calling out Shane on a Reddit story? Oh. Vocat tape. He hit me. He hit me. He smacked me. Update. And the shot of me above him like, dude, you're so nil. I found out that those things I think are called egg corns, that the term is called that because some people think egg corns are called egg corns. So it's when you mix up words like that and say it a different way. It's called an egg corn. I hope to God someday to meet someone who calls it an egg corn. So I can be like, did you say egg corn? You're going to have a reddit story written about you. Yeah. This guy's never seen an oak tree. That guy on the street who just started hitting me for no reason. Yeah. Beat me up. Am I the asshole for getting my ass beat? Yeah. Yeah. All right. Our next story. Am I the asshole from November of 2025? Damn, November a big month? Yeah, big, big month for assholes. Am I the asshole for refusing to pay to have my friend's house cleaned? I had to quickly come down to the city where I grew up due to the death of a close family member. It was a pretty spur of the moment occurrence and I had to drop things rather quickly. I informed one of my friends and they offered to put me up for a few days. I said that would be great, but told them I'd have my dogs with me, so totally understood if they wouldn't be able to. The friend said it would be fine and they were more than happy to host me. For context, my dogs are not badly trained, but by any standard. But they are both large breed dogs, a laven and German shepherd. So of course, can be a bit much for many non-dog owners. I am aware of this and that's why I usually don't bring them to people's houses. I made the five-hour drive down and my friend came out to greet me. When unpacking the car, I let the dogs out and immediately they went off to toilet, since it was a long trip. My lab went into the bushes to pee, but the German shepherd began to pee in the middle of the front porch. Don't ask me why, but she much prefers peeing on hard surfaces and my friend immediately freaked out. I was a bit confused and apologized, but it's outside so I didn't get why she was so freaked out. The dogs were fine the entire day. They are non-eventful inside. They let me know when they need to go out and I cleaned up the poo straight away. I keep them under good supervision. At the end of the trip, my friend sent me a text saying, "Hey, as you know, the house is quite messy because of the dogs and I'm going to hire a cleaner, would you mind paying me for that?" I was a bit taken aback. The dogs had zero accidents inside, didn't break anything. I asked what she meant and she explained that there was dog hair everywhere. The thing is, they are shedding dogs. I know that. If she'd asked me to vacuum up after them, I would have, but she didn't. I also didn't think a deep clean would be necessary. A quick vacuum of the carpets, couch bed, etc. would be more than enough to remove any trace. I don't know what to do. I didn't ask to stay with her. She offered. I told her about my dogs and she was fine with that. That's just asking for money? So the verdict is asshole. I can see it because dogs, yeah, they do shed. They bring a lot of stuff with them. It might have behoved to this person to talk about it while they were staying there because to have them leave and then send a text and be like, "Hey, I'm going to need this money." I can see how it now causes a weird situation, but I'm also a little surprised OP isn't fair. The dog stayed here for a few days and this happens. I think it's crazy to me that OP didn't really clean it all. If I'm taking my dogs at shed into a house for someone who doesn't have dogs and I know my dog shed, I'm going to try and clean up as much as I can. I'm asking, "Hey, do you have a vacuum?" I'd love to make sure things are as clean as possible. I think the fact that they were like, "Oh, yeah, they're just my dogs. They're shedding dogs." That comes from a place of like, "Oh, I have them and I'm fine with it, so I expect you to be fine with it." You bring them into their space. Yeah. I think it's reasonable for them to be like, "Hey, I want to hire a cleaner." I don't know. Maybe he can be like, "Hey, I'd love to help pay for it," or something like that. If they don't, if it is a lot of money, but yeah, I don't think it's unreasonable. Like you said, we don't know the state of the house. It's not just hair and stuff like that. We don't know. It's true. It's a rule. It's a whole bunch of that. Yeah, OP says, "Oh, well, they didn't ask me to clean up." That's like, "Well, you could have done it. It's one of those where I'm a little biased from growing up with so many animals that I'm not. It's not something I'm bothered by personally, but some people really are and it doesn't take long." Yeah. You always have those people like, "You bring their dog over and they start licking people and they're like, "Oh, my God, I'm so sorry." Yeah. I'm imposing on you. I'm bothering you. Sure. Like a dog being here. Sure. Let's see some of the comments. Someone said, "Let me get this straight." And I say this as an owner of OneLab, but have had two at the same time in the past. A friend allows you to stay with two large shedding dogs at the last minute and you make no effort to vacuum or otherwise contribute to cleaning before you leave. I'd be so embarrassed to leave without cleaning after staying that I'd have paid for the cleaner in a heartbeat. You appear incredibly entitled and disrespectful to your friend and a clear asshole, 11,000 upvotes. Someone said, "She's not used to pet hair. You saved money by staying with her instead of a hotel and dog boarding. Playing for a cleaning will still have saved you money." Someone replied to that saying, "Given that OP didn't even seem to see the problem with the dog peeing on the front porch, I'm guessing OP's hygiene standards are pretty damned low. And a shepherd and a lab in the house for several days means that there's going to be a lot of hair everywhere." Someone said, "You should have vacuumed without her having to ask during and before you left. You have dogs that shed. You should have been overly conscious about making sure the place is clean before you left and during your stay, especially if it's a non-dog household. Someone lastly said, "Pay her," 1.2,000 upvotes. Yeah, I have two dogs and I take them on walks twice a day, but we have a patio and we have a grass pad on the patio and a little doggy door so they can go out during the day to pee if they need to. And every once in a while, one of them will pee on the concrete and I hate that. I'm like, "No, I don't want, even if it's outside, that's just dried pee now on the concrete. I'm out there rinsing it off, getting in the water, being like, your dog peeing on the front porch of somebody else's home, I would be mortified if my dog did that, if I took him somewhere and they just started peeing on the porch." Be like, "Yeah, I think an important factor of this is that they stayed here for free. They sit there for free. So, yes, paying for a cleaning is going to still be saving you a lot of money compared to the hotel and everything. Jumping into this person's life, you should be helping out where you can instead of taking more from them. Right. Absolutely. I did stay at a friend's house one time where they had big shedding dogs and there was hair everywhere. And I was like, "Okay, friends are coming over later." And I was like, "Are we going to clean up?" And I was like, "No, not really, but it was so much hair everywhere that I even cleaned up." And I'm like, "I'm staying at your house and you don't see the hair everywhere." I'm like, "Yeah." I don't think you're okay with it, but I don't think everybody else is. Right. And I think it's possible for people to get just very used to their situation. Yeah. But, yeah, when you're a guest somewhere, it's just so important to be mindful of the impact you're having on the place you're staying in. Especially, we don't know how clean the house was before and-- Yeah. I'm really kind of curious to see 'cause I have a feeling it's very possible that this was all worse than we thought. Yeah. Isn't that going to think like leave it how you found it? Totally. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, finding out that they didn't even try to clean. I'm not sure if you're friend. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, "Okay. Yeah, it's tough." Yikes. Anyways, moving on. Our first asshole. Our first asshole. Yeah. It's rare that OPs the asshole. I know. Our next story. "Am I the asshole for not letting a kid eat my food?" Oh, I love this one. I love a title like that. That just gets me so excited. Yeah. Here we go. This was posted in October. The other day I was at the mall with my boyfriend and our two kids, a girl who's five and a boy who's six. We were sitting eating a bag of roasted chestnuts when this kid, around 10 years old, starts hovering around us. Now I admit I'm not the biggest fan of any kid that doesn't belong to me. So this alone was already annoying me slightly, but I still smiled at him. Then he calls my son over and whispers in his ear. And I knew it was about the chestnuts. My son nods yes and the boy comes up to me and reaches for a chestnut. I moved to the bag and said no, you have to go ask your parents. My boyfriend got upset, called me rude and handed a chestnut to the boy. The boy leaves and I tell my boyfriend he shouldn't have done that. That you don't just give food to a strange kid. The boy then hovers back around us and without a word. it snatches two chestnuts from the bag. That my boyfriend was now holding. I stood up and said, very firmly, sorry, but you can't take our stuff like that. Go to your parents. He put them back and ran off. I think the kid had no manners and I wasn't gonna let my kids think it's okay to accept anything from strangers or that it's okay to be pressured into sharing. My boyfriend doesn't agree and thinks the kid trusted us because we had kids ourselves. He thinks I was just selfish. So, am I the asshole? - No, I think that the policy of not giving food to a child without asking their parents first is 100% always the right thing. - You should never just give food to a kid like if their parents-- - Especially any form of nuts. - Yeah, that kid could just fucking die 'cause it's stupid and being like, "Oh, yeah, I want whatever's in that bag "and you could just die on the spot." Like, "Yeah, that is true." - Now you killed that kid. - Hey, am I the asshole for killing a kid? - For killing a kid? - He came up and asked for it. - I like the concept of asking someone if you can eat someone else's food. Like, seeing someone eating something and just be asking a random person like, "Can I have that guy's chips?" - Can I have Shane's lunch? - Oh yeah, you should. I didn't agree with it. - Take it, dude. - Give me nut. Give me now, me wantie. - Yeah, no, she's 100% right. For just multiple reasons. - Yeah. - The verdict was not the asshole. Comments, not the asshole your boyfriend could have killed the kid. How does your boyfriend know the kid is not allergic to nuts? Absolutely never give food to kids without talking to the parents first. Someone also said, "Also don't want a strange kid's hand in my food." Someone said, "Not the asshole. You have no idea if this kid might be allergic or if his parents want him having this food." It is also dangerous that this boy thinks it is okay to take things from strangers. I would have handled it by asking him to talk to his parents and then maybe giving him one with their approval as a lesson to everyone. But you certainly were not in the wrong for simply saying no. Someone said, "Remember when your parents warns you about not eating food from a stranger." Someone said, "No one's the asshole here based on your description. This kid may be hungry and knows the best option is to seek out other kids being fed." - Like a straight kid. - Awful. I live in an area with a lot of poverty. My two kids always have snacks to share. One has literally earned the nickname snacks by her schoolmates. And I would have just asked the kid if they were hungry and either shared or gotten them something to eat. But I am a softie and don't believe a child should ever go hungry if I can help. Lastly, someone said, "You don't give strange kids nuts." - Yeah. - Yeah. - I'm gonna take a different approach. - Okay. - Like the fisherman. Feed a kid a nut. He's gonna go hungry again. But teach a kid how to get chestnuts himself. - True. - That's why you should have done. You take that nut and before you hit it to him, you dig a hole, you plant it. Water it, be like, "Come back in 20 years." - Come back in the 60 years, you'll have some chestnuts. - And that chestnut grew up to be Barack Obama. (laughing) - So it really makes you think. - Yeah, really. - Who? - No, no, Barack Obama. - No, no, no, Barack Obama. - He's like the, um, um, - Here it goes. - He's like the Ed Sheeran of Presidents. (laughing) - Wow. - Well, okay. - Yeah. - All right. - We're gonna keep that one in. (laughing) - Yeah, again, as Michael Jordan said, "Fuck them kids." (laughing) - His greatest legacy is that. - I just have a thing for like, I'm even like a dog at the table getting food. And I'm just, I don't like things being around me. I'd be like, "It's my food, leave me alone." - Totally. - My nut, I got nut. I climbed the street. - Yeah. - Something very scary is a rogue 10-year-old. - Yeah. - You're just somewhere in a 10-year-old shows up. That's scary. - Yeah. It's like, "Oh, that's a scary age." - It's horrible. - Yeah. - It's just like, "Oh, they'll do whatever." - He rips off his mask, he's like, "This is a test." (laughing) - Well, the same. - Yeah, never give a kid a nut. (laughing) - Yeah, I've got a 10 on the kid who gave a kid nut. - Yeah, "Fuck 'em Lou." - Yeah. - I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with just saying, "No, to a kid who wants your food." - Well, especially when you're a stranger. - Yeah. - You're allowed to say no to anyone. - You can say it kindly. You can be like, "Hey, sorry." Like, I don't know. Like, "Oh, find your parents." Whatever. Like, there's nice ways to just be like, "Hey, sorry, buddy. I actually can't give you any of this." - Yeah. People on the internet are obsessed with finding the exact perfect solution to stuff like this. Being like, "If I was in this scenario, "what would I have done?" Okay, mind palace. - Right. - And then they get into the weeds when they get the exact perfect answer. They get the good ending. - Yeah. - But it's like, you can just say no when that's fine. - Like, not it. Our next story. Am I the asshole for not checking my phone when a friend bailed to meet us? - Okay. - Okay. I a 28 year old man. And four of my friends also all 28. Finally managed to hang out after over a year of everyone being slammed with work and relationships. We all agreed to meet at this indie cinema doing a marathon of a movie series we once watched together in college. Right next to the cinema is a cafe we used to practically live in. I mentioned to the group saying, "Let's meet at the cinema early to grab seats and thought everyone would know the drill." Two of us showed up at the same time and since the theater wasn't open yet, we went into the cafe to hang out and sent a photo to our group. Rick showed up a bit later but walks straight into the theater since it was open and by that time we were already there. We figured he'd realize and come over. Our last friend, Mark, never showed. About 20 minutes in, I noticed my phone was still on silent from work and saw one single missed call from Mark. Turns out he'd been sitting in his car in the rain looking for us outside the cinema. Didn't see anyone, didn't call anyone else and decided we ditched him. He went home and later sent a bunch of angry texts and a long voice message full of frustration and swearing. He said we ghosted him and that he was sick of being the afterthought. I even offered to pay for a ticket to the next showing but he said it was too late and refused. So am I the asshole for not checking my phone and assuming he would know we left the cafe and got to the cinema when it opened? I'm gonna say no. I fear that that is a crazy thing too. If you are going with a group of people and you only call one person one time and that's all of the reaching out and then you're like, well, they don't care about me. They ditch me, I'm an afterthought. That's unreasonable. - And you're sitting in your car waiting for an answer? - Yeah, I like just reach out to a few people trying like text call a couple people whoever it is like, or yeah, go inside and look around. - Even a kid can go look for nut. - Yeah. - Yeah. - True. - No, just talk to people. Get up, go, do your thing, go look for people. - Sure. - Look, I'm saying this is a 35 year old man. You're in charge of your own shit. - Yeah, your friends aren't in charge of how you deal with this situation, I don't think. - I think if you, if like, there is kind of an argument I think for him to be like, oh, like I was supposed to be there and like not anyone like checked on me or like did look at their phone. But again, like that's not their fault necessarily. - Yeah, if there's a pattern of them doing this all the time, then maybe, but we don't have context. - We don't have context on that. To be clear, they sent a photo of them all hanging out at the cafe. - Yeah, wait, yeah. - They established, they're there. - Oh, yeah. - They sent that to the cafe because the theater hasn't opened yet. - Not only that, but the other friend just walked in. He didn't see that. - That went into the theater. - Go at least go into the theater to find out. - Maybe he actually just hates whatever movie series that we're gonna watch. - Maybe he found an excuse to leave. - He was like, oh, I'm so sick of watching the critters movies. - We're watching all the critters movies. - The verdict was everyone sucks. - I'm so curious why. - I'm very curious too. I wonder if the take is kind of more like, just that overall as a group, like they also didn't check their phone. Like they just assumed like, oh, he didn't show up. We're not gonna check. There's that element. They didn't like, also try to reach out to him. - Yeah. - It just feels like a very like kind of distant friend group in a way where it's like, hey, like if your friend's not showing up to the big movie marathon, are you gonna at least text him too? To be like, hey, where are you at? - Yeah, also there's no like group chat between these friends to kind of like-- - I think there is, is what's weird. - Why text that one friend? - Text the group chat. I guess I'm a little, it is confusing. This is one of those where I'm not like, this person's the wrong, this person's the wrong. I'm just kind of like, what's going on? - You've been in that scenario where like, you're all in a group, time passes way faster than you think. - Totally. - You're all catching up with each other. It just kind of slips your mind. - Yeah. - It seems like so many stupid things had to happen for it to get to this point. - Totally. - Like, there's no, yeah, I don't know. - It's a lot of non-communication, comments. Everyone sucks here, you should have communicated better. Sending a picture in a group chat isn't the same as a quick message to say where you are. It's also not ideal to have your phone on silent and not be checking it regularly when you're planning to meet people. At the same time, Mark should have probably messaged the group chat, too, to see where everyone was. I can't imagine not, at the bare minimum, texting my friend who no showed. Someone replied to that saying, I can't imagine going to meet a group of friends and not thinking about calling other friend when other friend doesn't answer my phone. Someone said, info, is Mark in the same group chat? Did he not receive the message about the change? Oh, he said, we didn't end up changing it. Maybe I didn't express myself very well since I'm really tired, but we waited for like 10 minutes at the cafe, took a picture to show the boys. Yes, he's in the group chat, and I said in the group chat that we were waiting there for those cinema to open. We went in as soon as it opened, but I didn't say we were going in that moment. Someone replied to that saying, I'm gonna go with a soft, everyone sucks here. You and the rest of the group didn't say anything to Mark beyond a picture of all of you still on the cafe, but he also should have made more of an effort to contact the group than just the one phone call. It sounds like it wasn't malicious and maybe Mark's. been sitting on some resentment for a while, but everyone contributed to the miscommunication. - Yeah, I'm putting myself in Mark's scenario where other friend goes in, doesn't see the other text. He knows, oh, maybe they're not here, I don't see them at the cafe, I'm just gonna go in, that's our plan. - Yeah. - I think that's what you do. I'm putting myself in his position where I'm like, I have a lot of control in that scenario. I'm not just gonna sit and pout in my car and be like, no one cares about me. And then also to send such angry messages afterwards, I feel like it's really unfair. It's also a cinema. So it's a place where people might silence their phones. I would certainly, especially if I showed up late, or later than everyone, I'd be like, oh, maybe they're in the theater and their phones are silent. - I think that there was an opportunity for the other friends to be more considerate and like go check and reach out whatever, but I don't think that they're necessarily in the wrong for not doing like that. Like he sucks for reacting the way he did and he could've, there's just so much more. Just take a step outside, walk inside, like. - The plan to watch the movie didn't change. It was just to meet up beforehand. So it's like, you just assume they weren't there. I don't understand that. - It's very confusing to me. And I think what Mark is feeling is just, he just feels sad that the group chat didn't contact him or care that he. - Which can, it doesn't. - There's something hurtful there. But it just feels, to me, this is like, not a matter of assholes, I'm just like, what guys, come on. - Again, just talk to each other. - You guys need to talk to each other better. - This is how old everyone was, yeah. - They're all like 28, like dude, just text each other. - I think to paint them as the assholes means big leaps and logic to be like, he could've been hurt, it's like, yeah, but he wasn't. Like you're starting to like really poke at this thing. - I think I see when people are doing the like, 'cause I agree, this is like a soft situation, right? This is a very relatable situation too of just like, look, the way this all shook out, Mark was hurt and felt that the situation happened differently than it actually happened. They didn't abandon him. They were in the theater. - Yeah. - He was waiting for them to walk in, but they were already in. It just kind of is like, it's kind of a stupid situation. - Yeah, 'cause I have like a theater back and bright in my mind and I'm like, it's kind of like hard to miss that. Like the cafe's not like a completely separate building. Like a block down the road or something. Like, you feel like just poke your head in, look around. If you really want to know, ask, I don't know. - Yeah. - I feel like there's so many other ways you could have gone about this. - To read into it, it does feel like Mark has like some resentment there. Like maybe he has felt like he's outside of the group a little bit. - Yeah, and I can see feeling hurt that it's like, oh, I didn't show up and none of you texted me. That's probably more what he's heard about. They thought he no showed and they didn't even text him when he no showed. It's like, there's just like, how good of friends are we? - We're getting into the territory of playing mind games though. - And I think that's totally. - I'm not a fan of that. Like just say what's on your mind. - Yeah. - Absolutely. - If they were younger and they were like 19 or something, maybe I'd understand, it's a bit. - But 28. - Yeah. - Having been that age, that shit's in my control man. - Totally. - All right, our next story. Am I the asshole for buying myself an Xbox when my boyfriend said he got me one for my birthday last year? - Okay. - I don't know how double Xbox is going to be bad. - All right, stack 'em. (laughing) My boyfriend, who's 20 and I, 24-year-old woman, have been dating for about a year and a half now. We're long distance and he's been out here to visit me about four times for weeks at a time. Last year on my birthday in June, he had told me he got me an Xbox. I was really excited because I've had mine since 2016. So we can assume that they had an Xbox one and was looking forward to an Xbox series, X. We met for the first time last October. He didn't bring it with him that time, no big deal. He only had a small bag that time. Fast forward to December, he came out for Christmas. He bought a bigger bag and even asked if he could bring his PS5 so we could play games together and I said yes. After Christmas, he went home and I asked about the Xbox. Whenever I asked him, he got frustrated and said I was nagging him about it, but he'll just send it to me in the mail. A few weeks go by and nothing. So I ask him again and he gets really upset again. He said it was in a box under his bed and he didn't want to deal with it right now. It got to the point where I just said that it didn't matter whether or not he bought it. I just wanted to know. We got into a huge fight about it and I told him I wanted proof that he actually had it. He sent me a picture of the box. I was suspicious about it because he had mentioned to me before that his best friend had the same Xbox I wanted. So in my head, I was thinking that he had just taken a picture of his friend's old Xbox box. But I promised him I'd let it go after he sent the picture so I didn't bring it up. That was sometime in January. My birthday is coming up again and we were on the phone and he was talking about things to get me. For his birthday, I had gotten him a game and a vinyl wrap for his PS5. So I had told him a wrap for the Xbox would be cool. My way of hinting that I wanted my Xbox. And he said no and that he'd think of something better. I promised him I wouldn't bring it up again, but it's been almost a year. He's coming out for my birthday so I thought maybe he'd bring it. We were texting about my gift the other day and he had mentioned he needed to buy what he was getting me. So to me, it sounded like he wasn't bringing it. I've been wanting this Xbox for so long and I was sick of waiting so I went looking on eBay and bought one. It's coming this weekend, so I had to tell him. I told him not to be mad, but I bought myself an Xbox. I tried to explain my reasoning and that I didn't want to wait anymore because my Xbox now barely works. But he got so mad at me and just said, that was a fucking waste of $500. So I offered to pay him back for it and he said he doesn't want my money. Now he's really upset with me and it has me questioning if it was messed up that I ended up buying the Xbox for myself. Am I the asshole? This dude does not have an Xbox. He doesn't have an Xbox. This is the funniest version of cat-fishing. Yeah. He comes and visits her, so he's not cat-fishing himself, but he's cat-fishing a whole other thing. And an Xbox? Yeah, I've got an Xbox for you. I'm gonna bring my bigger bag, Syke, nothing in it. Yeah, sorry, I couldn't bring the Xbox. You couldn't bring the Xbox to play games together on. You had to bring the PS5 to play games together on. Also, a scenario is like, oh, you bought one? Okay, well now we have two Xboxes we can play games together. Yeah. That's such a win. Sorry, man, it's been a year. Yeah. You can't buy someone a gift and be like, yeah, I'm holding on to it. And a year goes by? Sorry, it's under the bed. I don't want to do it. Sorry, I just, I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it to you eventually. That or this guy has been playing some mad Xbox at his spare time. Yeah, he bought himself an Xbox. Yeah, he's like, it's pretty sick. I'll turn it on just to see what it's like. Yeah. We deep in Halo. He was like, we can't give a tour now. Absolutely. She's gonna see that it has miles on it. That's so funny. That's absurd. It's been like so about that Xbox. And he's like, stop asking. So let's go to the Xbox. Shut up. About the son. What? It doesn't matter. About the son. What? One Xbox. I want to also want to hear you're a super cut of how many times you said Xbox and let's talk. I said a lot. Almost as much as Muhammad Ali. The verdict is not the asshole. Comments, not the asshole. That Xbox doesn't exist. He just wanted brownie points without making the brownie. Also, him getting mad over it every time is kind of a red flag. So I'm not one to say break up. But consider if he's worth this. OP said, yeah, I was dreading telling him that I got it. But he's younger. So I figured that maybe he's got that mindset that he needs to get me expensive gifts to keep me. Even though I've made it clear that I don't need gifts like that. Not the asshole. OP wrote, so I offered to pay him back for it. No, no, no. You are paying him back for what? For something you don't have, haven't seen? What the hell? He is lying. Why are you still with him? Someone said, not the asshole. He never bought it. He's a narcissist and wanted the attention of buying you a nice gift without actually buying it. That would be a deal breaker for me. Oh. Yeah. People really jumped through the narcissist break up. They were real good. That one was pretty quick. I'm like, no, he just sounds like a dumbass. Yeah, he sounds like a 20-year-old dude. Yeah, 20-year-old dumbass. What do you guys think is like, after a year, if you lied about this Xbox and it's been a year, how have you not scrounged up like 500 bucks to make it happen? Like, maybe it's like I said it. And now maybe after a year, I can finally do it. So you've never been to his place to see this Xbox? Or the chalk outlaying for the Xbox wall? Yeah. It was right here. I wouldn't reverse image search to see if you pulled the picture off Google something. Simple like, man, I'm so sorry. I wanted to get you a nice thing. I thought I'd get the money by then. I'm like, I don't have it. Yeah. Easy. No, so easy. Update. Yes! Third Xbox! A fifth Xbox is entered. Update. He ended up sending a long text this morning about how pissed he was and that it was stupid that I bought it for myself. Oh, no. He was going to bring it. The only reason he didn't tell me was because it was supposed to be a surprise for my birthday. Wasn't it last year's birthday? Oh, Shane, this is the bad kind of update, isn't it? He said he's pissed because he bought more accessories for the Xbox too. So he spent well over $600, but now that I bought one for myself, I should keep it, and he's not going to give me anything he got. I told him that he should have just sent it in the first place, and it wouldn't have gotten to the point where I had to buy it myself. I also explained that I didn't need expensive gifts and that if he didn't get it for me and just wanted to impress me, he should have told me when I gave him the opportunity to come clean. He explained the reason everything was so expensive was because I liked gaming and Legos, which are expensive, so it wasn't to impress me. He apologized because he made me suffer. said about it for so long, and that he didn't think about it because it was under his bed. I told him I felt like he never listened or cared about it because I had nagged him multiple times about sending it, but he somehow still forgot. He apologized for being lazy and making it seem like he didn't care about it, how he should have brought it in the first place, and that he was wrong for not doing that. I'm even more conflicted at this point. Maybe I should have just waited for my birthday, but it genuinely sounded like he wasn't going to bring it. Update number two. Whoa, my God, now he's dead, now he's for sure dead. I ended things with him today. I couldn't do it on the phone, so I did it over text. Everything he said proved that you were all right. He's trying to manipulate me back into the relationship, but I'm at my breaking point. Thank you for all your help on this. Wow. Jesus Christ. Yeah, after that first up there, I was like, what are you conflicted on? Yeah, he sucks. Like, he was a bit of a douche, and then he doubled douche. Yeah. I thought the idea that she got her own Xbox and he got all these accessories is like, you can't have the accessories now. You buy your own. Give me the accessories. It's like, you could still be like, oh, well, I got you these two cool controllers, like, but he's like, no, you don't get any of it now. This guy is like in a burning building and he's like, I'm fine. Yeah. I can get out of this myself. Yeah. Go play Xbox. Oh. On a year old kid, he was just the worst manipulator ever. Yeah. Not doing it well. Yeah. God. I still am laughing it. Yeah, I got you an Xbox and then you just don't ever give it. I got it for your birthday next year. I'm laughing actually really hard at like buying someone like an Xbox one and then waiting so long, waiting for the Xbox Series X to come out like, wait 20 years, like, oh, I'm finally, I finally got that Xbox for you. And it's regeneration. Yeah. It's ancient. No. Yeah. And him saying it's in a box under my bed. I just can't deal with it. Saying he forgot about it is ridiculous. It's so funny because he literally, she, she, she specified that he got a bigger suitcase and then was like, let me bring my PS5. You have a bag that can fit a gaming console in it and you choose to bring your PS5 instead of me like, you know what? I'll bring you the gift I got you. Maybe he was like, I'm trying to change her into a PS girlie. Like, it's- I'm setting up an Xbox but I'll bring my PlayStation just to show you how sick it is. Yeah. The PlayStation has so many games for it. Nice. Ha! Yeah. I still think it- You have expensive hobbies. He was trying to buy a game, not a console. Yeah. He was trying to manipulate it. I game, buy a cool Lego set. You can get some dope Lego sets for the Katie Bucks. Yeah. I think the Delorean Lego sets, like $100. To be fair, Lego is crazy expensive for what it is. It's expensive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's way, like you said, really good ones. I think cheaper. Yeah. Just some solid $20 ones. There I am. I'm a simple man. You should've made an Xbox out of Lego. Yeah. Like here. That actually be sick. Turn it on her. Yeah. Either way, good for her. She got out of that. She learned a lesson. Yeah. And she has an Xbox now, which she never did before. True. It's true. Or something. Yeah. Hey. Go marry Leah. Yeah. Nice. Hey, good reference. Good reference. Or go marry Harvey. Leah. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I'm not the lover's in here. Sorry. Sorry. Anyone for Harvey in the room? Anyone for Harvey? Hey, Daesh. All right. It's time for our final story. Whoa. Sweet sorrows. Am I the asshole for connecting to the ear pod after my niece swallowed it to see if it would play in her stomach? That is so awesome. So awesome. Oh, no. So cool. Not the asshole. That's science. Was Galileo an asshole? Was Einstein an asshole? To Finchie Newton. Were they assholes? Muhammad Ali. Was Muhammad Ali an asshole? Babe Ruth. Look. It's in there already. We've got to try this though. We've got to do it. Was Oppenheimer an asshole? Yeah. Probably. I don't know him. Okay. When my three-year-old niece swallowed my sister's left air pod, everyone started worrying right away. I was trying to lighten the situation so I connected the air pod to my phone and put my ear on her stomach to check if I could hear it. Surprisingly, I actually did hear a little sound coming from inside her, which made the moment a bit funny for me. But the people around us didn't really find it amusing. They all looked at me like I wasn't taking things seriously at all. I was just trying to calm the mood, but instead I ended up being the only one laughing while everyone else was still stressing about the air pod inside her. Oh, man. Okay. That is kind of funny. And you got an answer. Yes. Okay. Scary situation. Yeah. Of course. At least, I mean, I don't have a kid. At least they're not choking on it. At least it's here. As you can say. It's like, yeah. It made it there. So you can now go to the doctor and be like, how do we get this? Get a roll and it's playing in our. Yeah. Like an air pod is pretty tiny. I know, obviously, there could be complications and issues. I think this is objectively funny. It's like, it is funny. To be clear, it's funny. I think the doctor would also be like, they're not showing any problems right now, so listening to what it's like. What else are you going to do? Yeah. The doctor's going to be like, look, we can work on this, but you've got to play like Phil Collins or something. Yeah. I understand the concern. We will follow it on the way down. Play the Tarzan Soundtrack. Yeah. Honestly, it's kind of meh. If you think about it, he's figuring out where it is so that they can better assess the situation. Yes. Exactly. I just made it. By my iPhone. By my AirPods. It's different if. I don't know if something like this passes through your system. And then. I don't know if it will. If you need surgery, it's different. Yeah. Like, that's scary. Yeah. But in the moment, I feel like I would probably laugh at that. Oh, in the moment I would laugh, even no matter how serious it's about to be. Yeah, I'd be laughing. If it didn't get a chestnuts, then it ate an airpud. Oh, it comes back. I think it's funny. And yeah, it does serve some sort of purpose. Good. So I guess, apparently, tech can contain some batteries that can injure organs and. Sure. So it could require endoscopy or surgery, which is what I assumed. Yeah. But even then, it's still just like, well, this is still the situation we're in. Like, take them to the doctor. I'm sure it's going to be okay. I feel like kids swallowing stuff is normal. But then again, I don't have a kid. I think people laugh in crazy scenarios anyway. I don't think they should come down on that person for laughing about it. Somebody's going to laugh. Yeah. I totally understand the medical concerns and having those concerns. And I could understand being the parent and being like, that's their first thing that they're thinking about. And that doesn't change for me how funny it is. Absolutely. It's hilarious. I am also, once again, biased. You know, I drowned as a baby and my family makes jokes about it. Yeah. So, you know, people make jokes to like. I think it's not going to remember this. No. It's traumatizing for everyone but the baby. Yeah. Is she really dead? Yeah. I think so. I was like, they had to perform CPR on me. Yeah. Four minutes? I forget. It wasn't real. I don't think they. We don't know like the exact amount of time because it was like crazy in the moment. You don't want the God. But yeah, my family calls me Shane Bobber. So. What were you bobbin' for? Comments. Not the asshole. I get why everyone else was angry. You made a joke when they were all stressed and worried. On the other hand, this is 100% something me and my husband would do if our kid had swallowed an air pod. We would have figured out what to do to fix the issue and then we would have done the test and had a laugh to lighten the mood. OP said we had already called the hospital and they said an ambulance would be sent. So being that everyone was stressed and seeing it would rub off on her, I decided to be playful uncle she knows. Someone said it was not for laughs. It was for science. Had it be done. Someone said I'm a nurse and I would absolutely laugh at my balls off. Not the asshole. There are way more dangerous things to swallow by accident. At it, y'all, I never said they shouldn't get help. Yes, it has a small battery in it and it needs to get out ASAP. But swallowing a loose battery without anything casing it is way way way more dangerous. Yeah. Someone said get through the plastic first. Yeah. Someone said never an air pod but when the youngest nephew was a wee taught, he swallowed a ball bearing. The doctor said all we could do was wait for it to pass. So each night we had him lay on the floor and checked him with a metal detector. The kind for beach combing. He thought it was great fun to have that thing go beep beep beep over his middle. nephew and I would have been thoroughly amused by his tummy making music. Added bonus. Since your niece thought it was humorous, you're calming the patient. Not the asshole. Damn. Someone said peak uncle moment. Well played sir. OP said this moment is easily the best time of my life. Seeing her smile made everything worthwhile. Plus we shall always have this moment. Someone said my dog swallowed my air pod and I did the same thing. I picked crazy train. What's song did he pick? That could make him. The song. Yeah. The song is what determines where he goes. Oh. Dogs out. That's awesome. Incredible. I mean if you call the hospital and the ambulance is on the way, it's like. What are you going to do? You can't do anything. It's a stressful situation. You're the uncle. You're going to make a dumb joke. You're never going to have that chance again. It's true. And everyone's wondered that. It's like guys can we throw up a you know back street boys onto the baby? Yeah. You hold them up like a boom box. You just have the baby. Yeah. Like a JBL speaker. Yeah. Can someone see? - Skip, can we go next song? - Yeah. - I would get the kids like move to see if it amplifies. - Guys, we've got LMFAO on the baby. (laughing) - It's a moment that it's like ask the kid, like, what's your favorite song? And then the kid's like, it's coming from me. - That's true. - That's so fun. - Oh my gosh. - There's like, I must be goo. - That's awesome. - I wonder what it felt like, it must feel like, 'cause the like, it has like a vibration and stuff. - Like K-pop demon hunters coming in. - Yeah. - Guys, should I swallow an air pod? - All right. - All right. - Process an air pod. - Guys, if this video gets 200,000 likes, I'll swallow an air pod. - Toss me an air pod. (laughing) - Hold on. (laughing) - What the, what up? (laughing) - Yeah. - If you swallow an air pod, can I put on Jack's up the guy videos? - Yeah. - Yes. - Hey, hey, hey, you guys can put on wood. - Oh, yeah. - Whatever you want. - Oh, yeah. - Until that thing comes out, you have my express permission to play with it. - Whatever. - Whatever. - The ox. - The ox is Trevor. - It's Trevor's the ox. - Oh. - You're playing a room tone and you just hear a song. (laughing) - Like, it's somebody pausing a song on my song. - Guys, stop it. - Come on, stop it. - Sorry, belly noises to fall asleep. (laughing) - Well, that's all our stories. - Remarkable. - Yeah. - Incredible. - It's incredible to see where the sausage is made. - I know, isn't it? - This is so cool. - Isn't it so simple? Like, when you're sitting here, it's just so chill. - Yeah, I've never been on this stage until today. - I know, we're just in a wee little corner. - I know, it's very funny. - It's nice now. - It's very funny because behind these cameras is like the whole other, like, everything else that we do are pit stuff. Like, the Try Not To Laugh set is right there. - There's 30 other shows. - Yeah. - So much stuff. Bit City's right there. - That's true. - Yeah. - Hey, the poop corner is right over there. - Poop corner. - We're Trevor Poops. - Right, poop. - It's just Trevor. - Poop dick. - Yeah. - Yeah. - This is fun though.
