I'm mostly I don't know. I just don't like it. I keep it's one of those days where I wash it back and forth and front and back in ponytail and up and down. I don't know if you've ever noticed that fidget of me, but some days they're really it's really obvious. No, my eyes like I cannot stop messing with my hair and head lately. Like I was editing last week's episode you guys and like literally I'm just like stop touching your hair. I'm like why? I know I I don't even watch them back because I'm like I don't want to watch myself do my little like any type of repetitive fidgets. Yeah. Yeah, but I don't know. But here we are. Here we are. Here we are. Um, we've got a really good theme today. I think. Um, hi. Hello. Welcome back to another episode of two outtakes. I'm your host Morgan. Join. Bye. Lauren. I did that with a guest today and they looked at me like what is that noise? Wow. Usually don't break it out for the strangers, but I can't believe you did that for a stranger. I thought that was like for I thought it was special. Yeah. No, it is special each and every time. Okay. Um, yeah, I don't know what was I just what was I saying? Hmm. It's one of those days, you know, but I think it's going to be a good episode when we recorded the breath theme. Bruh, bruh. You had a line in there and you were like the people are ill. Uh huh. And that has stuck with me. I'm like, oh, it's it's god. I don't think of a thing. It's a day. Yeah. So good. So that's our theme today. The people are ill slash like are the people ill question mark or who is ill? Which person in the story is ill? Is anyone ill? I don't know. Just a bunch of chaos all across the board. Some new, some old, some updates, some no updates. It's going to be a surprise roulette rapid fire. I've got options. I've got some gross stuff. You will see poop. You will hear poop. You not see it. You won't see it. But you'll hear it. You'll hear about it. We don't have pictures. Oh my god. I don't think I'll refresh. But it's going to be a really fun episode. And I, I got a glass of wine for the first episode in like three months. Wow. I don't think we've had wine on the show. You're not having wine. Lauren's still doing her whole 30, whole 60 now. It's past 30. She's just healthy. Well, yeah, I have broken the whole 30 and I wasn't exactly sure how I wanted to do it because I was slowly introducing foods. And then unfortunately, I went to a friends' giving, a lot of dairy and friends' giving. There was just so many beautiful foods and wine and I was like, you know what? So did that. And then as you should, now I'm kind of like back trying to still do whole 30 and then kind of like incorporate or just see how foods make me feel. So it's still happening. It's just not as strict as it was. Yeah. Yeah. So you're out what your body needs and doesn't need and what makes you feel good. I speak enough poop. Oh, let's go back to that. Let's circle back. All right. It's funny that you're talking, that you accidentally said you guys will see poop because I do have to take a picture of your poop and send it to someone. No. But thanks for giving everyone that vision. Well, sometimes you have to do that with a doctor. No, I did not do that. But I watched this video last night where this woman pretended that she had pooped in a tub of air in a car and gave it to her husband and his reaction. I don't think it was a fake. Like I think it was a genuine reaction and I couldn't stop laughing like, I need to see this. I know I want you to like insert it. I want to do this. Because it's so funny. I want to do this to Justin. You should. What did she use? It's a Titi Roll Mellon. She used an actual toy piece of poop. You can order online. And then she put Nutella on top of it and then she sprayed it with this spray that's like four pranks. It's like poop spray and she sprayed it in this tub of air. Oh, the fart spray. Yeah. And then she closes it and then she goes, honey, I'm going to use the bathroom before we leave one second and then she gets back in the bathroom and she goes, here hold this. And he's like, what is this? She's like, what's my poop? Duh. And he's like, why would you poop in this? And then she ends up being like, it's not a big deal and she opens it and puts it on his shirt. And that's when he lost his mind and I was rolling laughing. God. She's ill. She is ill. In the best way I love her. I love, yeah. I'm like, usually not a prank person, but the one where mom or dad or whoever will be on the toilet and be like, can you bring me toilet paper? It's like they're a little two year old or something, like gets them a toilet paper, five year old, six year old, whatever. They have Nutella or fake poop on their hand. And so as they reach for the toilet paper roll, they smear poop on the kid. Oh my God. Yes. Yeah. And the kids. Their reactions are so good. Some of them instantly lose it. Some of them are like, it's okay, mommy. Oh. Like, so good, so good. So maybe I'm okay with some pranks. I think pranks are hilarious. Just not ones that are the crazy ones that are like, haha, like, oh, I had an insane one. Really? It's on next week's episode. It's horrible. Oh my gosh. Horrible. I guess I gotta listen in. Gotta tune in. Yeah. But- Teach, listen now. Let's see who's ill or not ill. I don't know. Let's dive in. Let's do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This episode of Two-Hot Takes is presented by Oli. Women always come first with Oli.

I don't know what is happening here today. We'll see. I think we should actually start off each episode that way. Oh, no, I lost it. That was good. I've been hearing a lot of what is the vagus nerve or something. Yeah. I think that it healed it just now. Just now. Yes. You flex your foot a couple times. That also can help with your vagus nerve and nervous system. Wow. I always do that. That's really stressed. That's going to be my new foot up against a wall really hard. That helps with deep joint stimulation and that calms your nervous system. You have to push really hard into a wall. I like doing the arm in the doorway thing. Same thing. Oh my God. I haven't done that in a very long time. I need to. If anyone hasn't somehow done this before, go in your door frame, put your arms on either side. I'd say give it at least 60 seconds. Full 60 seconds. Push out as hard as you possibly can. And then magic happens. Truly, truly, I was about to say Harry Potter style. Yeah. And then magic happens. And truly, like your arms float. I'm not kidding. They literally float. It's the craziest magic. Yeah. It's like that one thing. I don't know if anyone did this as kids. You'd have to put your two fingers together. And then your friend would keep tying knots invisible knots over your fingers. Whoa, no. And then as you pull them away, it is really hard. You feel like you have like your tied really. Yeah. I got to try that one. I'll do two after. Let's get into these stories though. This first one coming from our very own two. I'll take subreddit. 15 hours old. My coworker secretly used my face in her vision board relationship collage. And I don't know how to act normal now. This is going to sound insane, but I swear I'm not exaggerating. I 28 female work in a small office. One of my coworkers, 30 female, is very into manifestation, crystals, aligning energies, all of that. She's nice, a bit intense, but harmless. Or so I thought last Friday, we had a casual team lunch. Someone jokingly mentioned vision boards and she lit up immediately. She said she actually brought hers because she wanted to update the universe during break. Everyone just laughed. She pulled it out. And that's when I saw it. There was a whole romance collage candles, beach sunsets, champagne glasses, and in the middle was a cutout photo of my face. My face. So weird. And next to it, a torso of some random shirtless guy with his head cut out from the picture. I froze. My other coworker saw it too and literally choked on her water. She tried to cover it up by saying, oh no, no, no, it's just an energy representation. But guys, it was my actual LinkedIn photo printed cutout glued next to half a man. She kept trying to explain saying things like, it's not literally you, it's the energy you give me. And you attract what I want to attract. Everyone got super uncomfortable and quietly changed the subject. I could barely finish eating because my heart was in my throat. I don't know how to look her in the eyes on Monday. What do you even say? Is this harassment? Is it delusion? Am I overreacting? If you'll violated and also weirdly guilty for feeling violated. This is the most bizarre situation I have ever been in. Any advice is welcome because I genuinely have no idea how to handle this without making work 10 times more awkward. I think all of those feelings are very valid to that. I don't feel like I'm going to have good advice here because I'm like a weirdo and I would be like, I'm so flattered. I did make one of these vision boards in my face was on it. I was not. No, I didn't put myself on it at all. But I did cut out a picture of John. What's his last name? He's from the office. He's Emily Blossomant. Yeah, I forget too, but he's such a cuteie. He was cute. He was in this magazine. I had limited magazines to work with. It was for, I don't know, something in grad school. And we had a creative vision board. And at that time, I was single. I wanted love. I wanted to find my person. Don't let Justin edit this. And I literally, no, he, he's seen it. He's seen the vision board because it was like shortly before meeting him. And I put like this dark-haired dude on it. Kind of like a similar look, I don't know. And I put like new flame. Because it's key. Sorry. Yes. Yes, John. Yeah. Okay. And so that it's like, sorry, Emily Blunt, if you're listening, like, but like that's someone who's unattainable and not in my circle. Yeah. But I do think it's kind of odd that she printed this picture from her coworkers linked in and then got so excited to whip out this manifestation vision board. If I did that and I knew I put my coworkers face on it, that thing would be sitting at home. It's like, it's almost like a weird voodoo doll. And I don't like, obviously, this is in the theme just because it's super weird. Maybe she's dealing with a little bit of delusion. I don't know. But like, I think overall, it is just odd behavior. I don't know if I'm just like, it is definitely odd behavior. A hundred percent. Yeah. But like her reason that she came up with, I don't know if I'm just that gullible. But I'm like, oh, okay, like that tracks. Like, yeah. But like, but I haven't heard that with a vision board where do you put somebody else's face because I, her response, if it's not true, was quick because it's like, okay, you see somebody that like attracts all these type of men that you want. How do you embody that type of energy to in order to get the type of men that you want to be attracted to you too and to chase you to that explanation? I'm like, that doesn't, that doesn't feel like it's an impossible thing for to do. But also, it's like, when you do a vision board, it should be all focused on you, you would think. So it seems odd to post about somebody else. Like, that almost feels like envy or like jealousy, but, but I don't know. I'm not really down. I don't really know a lot about those type of the vision board lifestyle. I did, however, buy a book off of like TikTok shop or something of like a vision board material. And I just like look through it in the morning because it's like so pretty and like fun little quotes. But like, you're supposed to like cut stuff out and then like make a bore with it. Yeah, but right now I just like it as a book. That's okay. Anyway, you said how you want long, long story short. This is totally fair to be very creeped out. And I'm I'm thinking she completely just forgot had like was like, and then she was like, oh my god, this is so embarrassing. I forgot that I put a coworker on here. If that's the case, poor thing. And then the other option is that she could be a huge creep. Well, it's a possibility. It's hard because it's like you cut out my head, put it on a picture of a woman. And then next to the woman is a man without a head. Whose head is supposed to be on that man? Yeah. Who's who? Who? Who? Who? Like does she just maybe she doesn't care about like that? I don't care about that. I call her. She just wants the abs and the pecs. She likes the nips. Oh no. I also think like say I was making a vision board. And it's like I want to embrace like all hunters work drive and your kindness and like all of that. I would put you on my vision board, but like we're friends. We're close. And like that would be a more like explainable thing. But like you could also just add the words like kindness and like hard like I don't know. But I, but I that's what I'm saying is like I don't fully understand like that that when people are into like that lifestyle like it goes deep right like and they're really about energy. So like yeah writing down kindness versus writing down you know what you think somebody else embodies like I feel like you like writing down like I want good work ethic or putting Alejandra when you think about Alejandra you actually can like see it and feel it and like the energy you know that she's like in when you see like hard working good work ethic like I don't know if you really feel it and believe it as much as when you see a person that you're like that's inspirational like she's a badass walking down the streets of NYC like you know what I mean like okay so maybe not that weird I don't know I don't want to make excuses if it is weird but maybe not I don't know I'm really curious what everyone's takes on this one is I'm a little bit lost I don't know I guess maybe not bad intentions but don't whip it out at work in order to update the universe during break and like I fully am on board with manifestation crystals aligning energy whatever like I think that shit is so cool I do too I just don't know much about it I don't know that much either like I love getting my tarot red literally Martina red my tarot and joss and tarot like a couple weeks before he proposed and like the tarot was on like saying proposal so I do believe in that stuff I just think like gotta move up the proposal he no afterwards we talked about it yeah and he goes yeah no if I felt that it was so crazy yeah but it's just maybe not the time or place to expose your vision board in this way no and like I don't blame OP for feeling violated like going on to somebody's LinkedIn and printing out a photo of them and then seeing it somewhere I don't know like that I that I do understand that that would feel really odd let's get into the comments okay top comment I'd start keeping that energy representation to myself and limit your interactions with her and inform your boss of her weird stalker revive which I don't know if you can say that in an HR meeting but someone else responds to that and goes cosine document everything send a short bounder email like please remove my image from your materials and do not use my likeness going forward then loop in your manager in HR so the request is on record if she brings it up again reply only in writing so these people are taking like a very professional approach like it's at least at the bare minimum kind of inappropriate for work yeah which legally like I don't know like I I think people do you remember those hear me out cakes yes yeah like it's almost like in that weird way where it's like you printed off pictures of your co-workers and then like made a hear me out cake but you're on a vision board instead I but wasn't hear me out like supposed to be like they're gross but I'd still hit yeah like that's like super like it's worse yeah it's way worse and so people were getting fired for the cakes good so so no it's bad but I'm like could you get in trouble for printing out your co-workers picture on LinkedIn and putting it on your vision board I wonder if that's like an actual offense I don't know it doesn't feel like it unless it was repetitive like I feel like a one-time thing doesn't feel but but here's the thing is that bottom line is that OP feels really uncomfortable and you shouldn't feel uncomfortable in your place of work so I agree that actions do need to be taken like set boundaries make sure you notify your manager like all of those things should I agree with all of that because in your place of work like you deserve to have that like feeling comfortable absolutely and people do start to get a little nervous in the comments I mean people are like she's not trying to attract your energy she's trying to be you there's a weird envy or somehow a delusion vibe there and it's gonna get worse if no one checks it to be honest well like I we don't have enough like background information to confirm that that's going on right like does OP add any any other like moments where she's felt like this person is stalking her life or is this the one thing we don't have any comments from OP yeah see I was just I wouldn't like be convinced of that from just the story it could be an impossibility it could be innocent I'm curious to see whatever and I'll thanks yeah but we are gonna move along oh no I don't know if you saw me earlier when you were like saying some of updates some don't have updates I did like the emoji teary-eyed face like my face was smiling and I instantly was like what what well we'll see we'll see what once coming up have updates what if you had to pick would you say this person is ill or was innocent I would say I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt and say hey there's good intentions here but maybe this person doesn't really understand like social norms and just like doesn't understand how this could be coming across other people yeah like I do think like the explanation was like almost too quick for it to be a lie yeah so maybe she looks at her coworker and is like she's got a lot of friends at work people like her she does well I'd love to embrace that yeah embody that type of vibe I'm gonna go glass half full but okay I could be off I could be off okay so this next one is coming from our two out take subreddit 22 hours old titled I ghosted my boyfriend after I found out who he really was nobody knew why and I think people thought I was weird for a long time hello Morgan I'm a huge fan and your show saves me during my work commutes I figured since I listened so much I should contribute here is my story I 30 female had just started dating a really nice guy 40 male we were on one of our first dates having a great time he was considerate fun seemed like a really good person at one point during our conversation he told me he was once married and has since divorced he also told me his ex-wife later passed away from cancer at this point I felt a cold wash of dread start from the top of my head down to my toes because when he first asked me out I thought he looked slightly familiar I figured out after he told me of his former marriage he was the one who used to come to my place of employment with his then wife at work in health care and we watched over time how he abandoned her during her treatment when it got in the way of his social life how she had to deal with everything on her own during her final months he divorced her in her most vulnerable time he was the worst I hated him and now he was sitting in front of me at dinner and I wanted nothing more than to smash his pasta dish in his face shut up but I was also really stupid and couldn't bring myself to break up with him right away we went on some more dates and each time I tried to reconcile who I knew he was with who he appeared to be but I couldn't do it anymore as someone who loves to avoid confrontation I slowly pulled a Homer Simpson and faded gently into the bushes he eventually got the hint something wasn't right when I wasn't responding to his calls or messages and broke up with me via email to this day I wonder what he thought happened I know his friends thought I was a horrible person for just up and disappearing many of his social circle were not around during his marriage I couldn't just tell him I thought he was a terrible person who abandoned his dying wife he definitely did not remember me from my past workplace I was a student and didn't do the main interacting with them should I have said anything or made up a reason he has since married and I feel terrible for his wife what if she got sick but I also couldn't really say anything because it's also partially patient confidentiality people think he is great they think I'm the kind of person who ghosts dates it's been years since this happened and I still real over how I dodged a bullet how wonderful and kind he seemed and how terrible his past history was there's a lot of illness here in more ways than one yeah genuine illness someone dealing with cancer so anyone else that's ill in this story I I thought she said boyfriend ghosted boyfriend that was the title so they were first did my boyfriend but then it sounded like she had only gone on a few dates with him so I'm a little bit confused there maybe boyfriend is used a little looser than you would use it but like if that's the case I'm like why would you even spend a second worrying if somebody's thinking you're weird for ghosting someone like whether we like it or not it happens all the time it's not like I mean I don't think she's ill yeah no no I know but I'm just wondering why she's even worried about what other people what other people think yeah I don't know maybe like they run in a small social circle but like if that's the case I don't know sometimes I think a little gossip is healthy I think it's okay to tell people like oh no like I I ghosted him because I recognized him from years ago when he abandoned his sick wife right and that's why like oh Pete will now would have been fine I wish OP said that to him like I just to see his face yeah and just to like be kind of called out like he should it was bad behavior he should face that it's really sad it really is heartbreaking and you know that I think we've talked about this before but that's that where it's like yeah if a woman in an marriage gets ill the husband is like literally if whereas if it's the other way around the wife is likely to stay and support the husband through it so just like it's one of those moments where it just makes you really sad to like hear confirmation of that happening I know it's like you didn't beat the odds you like literally fed into that stat yeah I can't like I can't even imagine like it doesn't matter I love Justin so much like I can't even like put myself in this headspace but like no matter what went wrong it doesn't matter how much I disliked him he didn't even like sound like he disliked or I mean I don't know it's like were there other issues and then she got sick and it made it worse or truly was it because she got sick yeah and his social life was impacted like genuinely because this is an outsider looking in exactly but that's what it looks like it's what it looks like is it a duck is it is not what it is but like I can't imagine ever abandoning someone who's dying who's sick you don't know if she's dying maybe he did know she was terminal like I can't imagine that like yeah it's so it's so sad yeah I think like and I was thinking about that too because it's like we don't know what what was going on behind the scenes like I don't know like what yeah what if they were about to get a divorce and then she got sick and so he was like I'm gonna stay with you and help you but it just got to the point where I don't know too much yeah and like even then I still feel that way like it still is really sad someone that you love to like let them go through it on their own like that even if you guys are not together romantically like you I would just still hope that like somebody that you decide you care about enough to marry would want to stay by your side yeah so like that still that's still sucks but again we don't know all the details I think OP didn't do anything wrong I wish OP would have said it so that we could have saw his face literally yeah I want that shocked Pikachu me him I don't know what that is it's not really cute you've never seen shocked Pikachu is it a new thing or an old thing I feel like it's been around for a while or they call him surprised Pikachu in the meme surprised Pikachu I love Pikachu I just want to see his face when he gets called out yeah I know that face I just didn't know that was like a thing oh my god how did you never seen this wow yeah I don't know you're not ill OP don't fret about this thank you for sharing because this is like some serious tea but oh my god I already forgot that it was actually like a right in one of ours I let the babies yeah no this is this is crazy I think he's a little sick in the head for doing that to someone he supposedly loved and cared about in sickness and in health and also I yeah I mean who cares if his friends think it's weird that you go sit him like it's that's fine focus friends too yeah okay number three have a real good feeling about this one this episode is brought to you by state farm okay let's be real we

saying this is coming from our very own two hot takes subreddit we are three for three on two hot takes stories right now for second third two hot takes baby. Nice. Fam it is titled my brother-in-law just moved in and hates my favorite artist oh no hey hey two hot takes fam long time listener first time poster I love this community and the advice is always stellar so I'm hoping y'all will be able to help me my partner male 23 and I non-binary 25 are huge swifties yeah I was literally gonna I was gonna use a story anyway continue but yeah we same same I feel I I feel your pain already we own every vinyl almost all of the cardigans have her on almost all of our playlists what can I say she really does have a song to fit all my vibes and I even went to the era's tour recently my partner's brother male 22 fell on hard times we moved away about six months ago and our renting a very small two bedroom house 12 hours away about four months ago my partner's brother was kicked out of their family home by their mom long story but she's a real piece of work and moved in with his partner that didn't work out swell either it was a rural area decently far from the family and he wasn't able to find a job after almost two months he missed his car payments lost his car and then also got kicked out of there we've all been friends for years so we offered him our extra room to help him get on his feet a little bit he's been here for about three weeks now and has found decent employment and has been a good help around the house when he moved up here we knew it would be a drain on our resources he had zero dollars to his name and a huge adjustment for us but we didn't anticipate any huge issues now everything is coming to a head with Taylor Swift's new album coming out he's really amped up on his hatred for her okay I would know he's out we can't listen to her in the car watch any interviews tiktoks etc in the living room are you kidding me that contain her play any of our vinyls or talk about her even to each other without him blowing up I totally get she's not for everyone and I respect that I have friends and family who don't like her music at all and it doesn't bother me not liking her music is different than hating her I can totally understand that this guy sucks ungrateful weirdo but my brother-in-law all caps hates her in my opinion an unreasonable amount for a person you've never met I feel like I'm not allowed to even exist in my own home without inciting an argument on the rare occasion I do play a handful of Taylor Swift songs he makes it a miserable experience between slamming doors stomping around and making nasty comments oh my god he's out I would kick him out so fast he's even interrupted my partner's work he works from home to rant about her and send several fake news articles about her most recently tonight my partner and I were cuddled up on the couch while eating dinner watching the tiktoks I've sent him and there were a few three containing her songs his brother came down to grab food we don't always eat together hung out for five minutes heard two tiktoks with her music then got up huffed and stomped made a few comments I couldn't catch under his breath through his dinner in the trash and threw his utensils into the sink I can't even listen to this like I'm so mad my heart's racing loud enough that it made me jump and then he stormed upstairs we've tried to talk to him about it and say that he doesn't need to like her but he needs to respect that we do and learn to tolerate her music in the house we're not asking for listening parties or anything crazy we've been pretty mindful more than I'm comfortable with about playing her music or talking about her when he's anywhere near however I don't think it's unreasonable to say that we'd like to be able to have a glass of wine and pop an album on once a week or something after a rough week in our house where he's living rent free currently we pay for everything including his weed oh my god I've even tried to listen to his favorite artist pointing out that until that exact moment he never even had an idea I can't stand them either I've let him play their music talk about them relentlessly watch interviews whatever and I've kept my mouth shut because I don't see the point in ruining his joy over 10 minutes of my unhappiness it obviously didn't change anything aka why I'm posting here the constant negativity and shitting on something I enjoy has really been getting to me I've noticed I'm increasingly more irritable and on edge I don't even want to be around him right now I don't know where to go from here or how to fix it he's only been here for three weeks and I've already had to tell my partner his brother may need to move out at this rate yeah two hot takes fam what do I do oh my god I love that you're a two hot takes listener my heart goes out to you I'm actually so angry like I'm like shaking no I don't I I'm not shaking trembling with rage but my heart is like actually racing because I've thought about this a lot where for all the celebrities that have been child stars and then get to the place they are right now and just celebrities in general like Taylor Swift and everything that she's been under all of the pressure like there's been so many things that she's had to go through and she always does like persevere and I'm just so impressed with the way that she handles her life and communicates and stays positive because it can be easy for a human to crumble underneath all of that it's like for me when people hate her music that's so fine like I never got their own taste yeah hate hate her music that's totally okay but like when people genuinely hate her I'm like how you clearly don't know anything about her if you hate her because she's just like so kind like yeah I mean at least from what she like shows us yeah I mean you're you're the ultimate swifty I'd say like I enjoy the music but I I definitely don't know that much like there's certain things I've seen online lately that of like kind of upset me we've talked about it like oh I forgot where I'm like oh that's a little dicey you should probably address that but I do think like there's so much energy behind this where it's like this is not your home oh yeah this is aggressive stomping doors because you hear someone you don't like music grow the fuck up this is not your house your brother and his partner aka your future like in law like are kind they're paying for your weed events it's just that's not an essential item it's it's like this it's ungrateful ungrateful like titled in rude extremely respectful yeah I he's deranged I know I know you're you're getting kicked out of like two different places and that and in your like lowest moments you're gonna just go and make life even harder and basically push these people out to like of your life from helping you like why are you making it so hard for people to help you it's not you don't literally it's not that common for people to help people no matter if their family or not like in this way so the fact that you have people that are willing to do this and you're gonna just like shit all over something that makes them happy is so messed up like take Taylor Swift out of the equation right because like I whatever like some people yeah insert anyone yeah insert anyone he knows how much you love this artist you have the vinyls you have the merch you have everything you love this artist and he goes above and beyond to incite like this hateful energy like the minute someone slammed a door in my house out you out the minute you throw your dinner away because you're so disgusted you can't be in the same room as the music and then you throw your silverware in the sink that fork is gonna come flying at your ass at your ass and I hope it's shish kebabs you and I hope it does just sort of booby tripping the hot I mean at this point like I'd say hey you know your behavior is really really unacceptable like we've gone above and beyond opening our doors making sure your needs are met we've put ourselves out there by giving you money paying for non essentials like weed we really have gone above and beyond to make sure you are in a safe happy healthy home and you have recreational fun like we've gone above and beyond and you're not being at the bare minimum respectful yeah we're gonna give you three weeks to move out that's no I'd be like you're out now I'm not even kidding I know I don't know I don't care I don't think he has any money I don't care get the fuck out you have a serious attitude problem yeah and you need to fall in your ass and hard in order to adjust it because if you got kicked out twice before this and this is how you treat your guess or you're not your guess the the owners like you clearly need something big to happen in order for you to change that and something needs to give because this is so unacceptable so like yeah go and like figure it out on your own I know and that's the other stuff love I mean I think like hey to hate this behavior to you notice like no he can go find a roommate he's working now nope like right now you're done why am I being the devil's advocate a little on this one oh I just think I just think that this like behavior is so despicable it's like it's just like triggering and and then add like Taylor Swift now it's personal so there are people that hate Taylor Swift that are listening and are like literally like crossing out my face on everything I mean everyone is entitled to like who they like like it I mean I don't love certain artists but like Justin does and so I'll listen to them if they're in the car that's that's different though you're not gonna spit on him for it but I'm not disrespectful exactly he's disrespectful yeah top comment does say that he's living rent-free and throwing a fit over your music the audacity this isn't about Taylor Swift it's about his respect for you in your own home for sure time for a serious talk about house rules or an exit plan exit plan being now our our writer does respond thank you that's what I've been saying the level of disrespect is insane he's been my best friend for three years and now we all live together and my partner and I are helping him financially and he acts like this we brother-in-law is best friend that's what oh they're all like I mean it was like they were all friends yeah so now I'm like okay maybe he's like really comfortable a little too comfortable okay maybe we can give him like one week notice I think two is no we can give him one week to get his shit together and if he does then he can stay for a little bit longer okay I think that's a fair compromise this other comment goes not the household I don't like Taylor Swift but if you are graciously giving me a place to stay when I'm on hard times your music choices would be my last thought yeah I'd be more concerned about what chores I could do to pay you back while I looked for a job yeah and to thank you on a daily basis what to do well he can shut the fuck up and contribute to the household or he can move out again I really can't stand Taylor Swift if someone was kind enough to offer me a home when I need help I'd be so grateful being a jerk about what music you love is such a terrible thing to comment on you seem so kind and I'm sorry this is happening why why do people like can't stand her like I don't understand that we're gonna have to ask some people in the comments I just think like it's you see that like her art brings so many people happiness and connection like why does that make you angry I do not know but we do have an update this is like the one I don't want it update I'm like move on I hate everyone just kidding hey Joe takes fam thank you so much for your input on my last post with the exception of a few people the comments were really affirming and helped me pull my head out of my ass man up and face the situation more directly I went ahead and deleted the post just in case as I caught a few people I know in real life peeping it my fault for putting everyone on the pod we waited until he was in a good mood then my partner and I sat him down and laid out everything on the table we told him that his reactions to our music made us feel like we were walking on eggshells and being held hostage in our own home we told him we were starting to become resentful and considering drastic measures if things didn't change we made it clear that we were happy to help him to an extent and clarified the extent but only if he could remain respectful we clearly set the expectation that in our house our house we don't throw things slam things yuck anyone's yum or yell we made sure to address it delicately but firmly we asked if he'd felt respected in the house if there was anything deeper going on mentally he let us know about some personal things that he was struggling with and we worked together to make a game plan going forward so to those of you that pointed out it was likely a lot of change at once and there was probably a deeper mental health issue occurring thank you he recognized and acknowledged that his reactions were inappropriate as well as unwarranted he apologized for his responses and disrespect thanked us for being willing to put so much effort into making him understand how his actions were affecting us and how mindful we've been about playing her music while admitting we've been objectively overly conscious he agreed that the frequency we were asking for wasn't unreasonable 45 minutes a week after a rough day over dinner without him talks in private conversations not included him during activities not included him like watching tiktok's on the couch as he walks by this is fucking crazy yeah you should be able to live in your house do you are you kidding no he can no there's no you don't need to make no he confirmed we weren't listening too loudly that he wasn't able to hear it in his room or upstairs at all he should stay there and that we should be able to sparingly listen to her music in common spaces as we allow him to do that as well we came to the conclusion together that his frustration has been building since his feed has been full of her stuff recently with the recent elbow that fact is likely to his interactions with her hate videos is a discussion for another time hate videos who knows he's probably watching something and then getting even more of her content hmm we collectively agreed that it's just better for him to keep his mouth shut going forward ultimately there's nothing we could say if we ever tried to make him like her and on the flip side there's nothing he can say to make us not like her we know how he feels he knows how we feel and there's no point in beating a dead horse so basically he's been overexposing himself it was good to hear him come to the conclusion this whole situation was 99% his own fault and tell us that we weren't doing anything wrong we told you that honestly neither of us were expecting the level of accountability he did take yeah all three of us got headphones we gave him a pair of earbuds about a week ago and we will continue using them in heavy rotation for longer listening sessions of music the others don't enjoy this is like way too many compromises for your house but maybe I'm just an asshole no I agree it's your house it's no op goes on to say I've agreed to teach him budgeting and basic finance management techniques to get him on his feet faster and planning to surprise him with a few vinyls of his own of his favorite artists our least renews in April until then we'll be having biweekly sit downs to go over concerns and we'll re-evaluate our living situation at least renewal if he's still here then if all goes well sooner if things don't improve the mood in our house is great now I thought there might be some tension after the discussion but it went over really well well as long as you're happy that's good there you go I don't think you should have to make compromises though but if you feel good about it if you feel happy then that's what's important yeah I mean I don't think you need to be this big of a person but if you're comfortable doing that to make peace in your home and like support your your friend your family then that's a sacrifice you're willing to make but I also think he was being extremely unreasonable and disrespectful and he can go in his room when there's music playing in the living room that he doesn't want to hear it is your house and your pain for every single bill I'm like a little I'm like blown away by like how much give there was but good for you you sound like a great person yeah I'm sure it's probably just like I mean if well one it's OP's partner's brother and then on top of it OP's best friend so I can see how like once you have that conversation and he's being so like understanding and now he's being like respectful and taking accountability that then like okay cool you but that then you kind of want to like the love that you have for this person comes out and you're like I'm willing to make compromises too like I can see how that happened even though it's like her home but but I'm it sounds like good enough happy ending good enough we love you thank you for listening thank you for being here teach me your patience because I I do not have this level of composure I don't anymore I used to I've been like really mm-hmm I've been like having thin patience lately super thin yeah how do you expand your patience is that like how do you get that back I don't know this is like the first time that I've been this like quick to get well I don't want to fly off the handle are you flying off the handle I don't even want to say that either because like I definitely have had like times where I get like really really like frustrated but like I feel like kind of like boils over yeah um and like lately it just feels like like I have like somebody like not let me in what I'm merging and I'm like fuck out a little road rage I had did I tell you about my road rage other day no I'll tell you about it after but I don't flick them off though no maybe that was on patreon I don't flick them off where they can see it so I do I like do hold back a little bit because I don't want actual road rage oh yeah it's like more internally but I do I flick them off under my car I love my horn I use my horn no I just like I had one to like one experience where like I don't know like somebody did something stupid and like and they ended up honking at me and I was like you were the one who did the stupid thing so I honked back and then this and then she like honked at me again and then she was like honking and like flicking me off and like just being like like driving crazy and in that moment I was like oh my god it's not worth it to have road rage like it's not worth it to I can feel it inside and I can scream in my car but like it's not worth it to like interact with this person no people literally get killed over road rage like people are so ill people are ill people are ill this next mother bucker is definitely ill mother the fuck I'm ill okay that was a little aggressive take it back okay next story is brought to you by Ollie wellness I hate feeling like an asshole knife I like when I'm balanced in all aspects but especially my vagina it's where happy who how comes in Ollie's vaginal probiotic that supports vagina health and pH balance and this next story definitely needs something balanced out I mean I I just warned you I'm like this is not okay so let's get into this next story so it's coming from AITH nine days old titled am I the asshole for asking my husband not to sneeze like that my husband has always been a loud sneezer in the 17 years we've been married recently he's begun screaming while he sneezes when before he had been making a loud yell shout I've brought it up casually that he's really loud when he sneezes and is it really necessary he says he can't help it last night I was in bed with a headache right around the start of bedtime he came in to use our bathroom and did one of his scream sneezes I said please don't sneeze like that I have a bad headache he didn't know about my headache he became upset and said it's involuntary and he can't help it he very sarcastically said I'm sorry for sneezing a few minutes he came to my bedside and asked me to open my hand he put a folded up square of toilet paper in my hand and said quote all stop bothering you with my involuntary sneezing if you will stop voluntarily leaving period blood under the toilet seat so will you go clean that up right now or should I do that for you oh I told him that I thought I had cleaned up after myself earlier earlier I had asked him to bring me a new tub of chlorox wipes when I was on the toilet and I cleaned up with that he then said quote I'm really offended because I apologized for my sneezing and you didn't even acknowledge it he then took his pillows and blankets and slept in the extra bed this morning he said he was sorry for getting snippy last night I haven't known what to say about it all yet it's all so ridiculous and I'm wondering if I'm out of line for thinking that screaming while sneezing is not necessary he didn't used to do this I'm not saying that he has to stop or control the actual sneezing part you all are insane wait is this a listener no okay no it's coming from AIT H um likely a random yeah I don't know what's going on but you know what they are out of fucking whack but what's funny is that these are like also very like innocent problems compared to other stuff that we discuss like you know it's they're arguing over you go ahead you go ahead I'm pissed you don't think these are innocent compared to some of the other stuff we talk about shop my mouth and not interrupt you Morgan we've had we've had like incest cheating stories okay we have okay well when you compare it to that's what I'm compared it to well you might be right there no I um I don't know what it is I think this is a dude thing with age because my dad has become this person where he is like and it's like it's it you don't need to sneeze like that I I I understand but I I actually would be really upset if my partner tried to police my sneeze like how do you sneeze I don't know do you scream no but like I still think that I still think I would be very upset if my partner tried to police my sneeze but at the same time I don't know if I can judge that much because I will yell at Brian for his burping is that is that similar that's yep that's apples to apples so he what different font what he does though which grosses me oh yeah you're in it I kind of feel bad for his saying this like on here but like he'll burp and then he like lets his whole like body like like grow with it like oh oh oh disgusting and I'm like stop doing that and and he's like it's just just a burp but I'm like no it's not you're making yourself like act like you're about to throw up like stop so I'm so I'm like I can also relate to her too I just I feel confused I think there's a little bit of a breakdown in their communication clearly oh I mean his response was was crazy that's what sending me can you imagine you accidentally like I the other morning like I my my cramps were so bad I couldn't find my heat pad I was like on the brink of like I kind of want to go to the hospital like my cramps were that bad couldn't find the heat pad Justin's looking all over the house for 45 minutes I I fake cleaned and I hit it somewhere I can't find it the next morning I get up and I like ruined a pair of underwear while I was sleeping ruined them ruined them and I take them off I rinse them and then I'm like getting into the shower and before I can get into the shower I'm like dropping globs of blood on the floor you know I don't like to really bad I don't like glob talk but like I wiped them up I grabbed like our cleaning bleached spray whatever the hell it is wiped it up but if Justin then would have came to me and been like um open your hand oh yeah I'm thinking it's a cute surprise I'm thinking he got me a piece of chocolate to make me feel better I don't know and he goes here's a piece of paper towel for you to go wipe up your period blood you nasty woman like I'm just like that's like how feels yeah no I'd be furious and so it's like hey I have a headache I just kindly asked you to not sneeze like that and scream why are you screaming you didn't always scream why are you screaming I think the fact that he didn't always do that like do it like that that would send me that would send me over the ledge so I'm like okay all you had to do is be like hey super sorry hon super sorry you rest up and if you see a little period blood around the rim you ignore it just like you do the explosive diarrhea spots you ignore it I knew those coming sometimes you have to ignore it yeah I have the grossest story but I'm not gonna out this older family member so I'm not gonna go there but it was pretty nasty and guess what I did I ignored that bathroom and guess who cleaned it the next day Justin because he loves me wow yeah wow that's love that is love love is ignoring the nasty parts I'm like is the older family member me no did you pee on my floor no yeah no um I like that you I don't know if you're keeping this in here but me and Morgan we're talking about how I now say ruin and so I thought those funny how you're like room real when I have a guess coming up who's also from the Midwest and I'm gonna compile a list of words that we say wrong and I'm gonna hand them the list and see how they say yes I love that so if you guys have any words that you want me to make them say please drop them in the comments maybe I'll like pin something I know I said hammock weird the other day I don't know what got into me I don't say hamac usually I don't think at least I don't know I did realize I say Toyota wrong oh yeah I saw that comment can't win them all okay wait I think I say hammock yeah I think I do say hammock do I say hammock too I don't know oh god but hey I think these people can figure it out I think they need to communicate I think there's a way to get back on track get balanced again because this just like is not gonna work long term like you guys have been together 17 years and maybe this is one of those things because they've been together 17 years they're like what do we have to fight about oh I guess sneezing yeah that's cute but hey after 17 years if your sneeze changes I want to be a little sussed out be a little pissed I like how you try to fight me on the fact that this one is like one of the worst stories we've come across and I'm like do you remember what we've read not the worst but like it just like some of the innocuous ones just have argue because it's more like me and yeah I get that that's how that's how I've felt about one of the stories it's like it's so random but like I'm like it did something to me I don't know why it heaked a corner yeah but hey just like our relationships sometimes vaginas can get thrown off balance too all he gets that whether it's happy who how that empowers you to take charge of your vaginal health or period hero for PMS support I period heroed it up the other day that like those so good for my cramps hmm great timing nice great timing to have an all the event to go to it it was magical but you can find all these supplements at retailers nationwide or at allie.com co-th-th-30 for 30% off these statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration this product is not intended to diagnose treat cure or prevent any disease wow so good thanks allie for sponsoring that story and we're on to the next one oh I didn't even read the comments huh uh um top comment my husband used to do the same thing and I told him great so why isn't it involuntary in public he's allowed smuser in public but no yell I would have killed him had we gotten to a scream stage after that he stopped not saying it would work for you and not saying it was an easy conversation either but it's been a lot of years now I love the way that you're reading her I like feel like I can hear this person actually talking I try I try uh someone else goes this has been my experience to the letter my partner sneezing so loud at home it would hurt my ears yet we stayed with his family for a week and he did quiet sneezes to not make noise in their house I clocked it immediately because he spent years claiming that he cannot sneeze quietly I pointed out he was doing normal sneezes and he had always denied being able to he now sneezes normally I'm still baffled why he was always screaming his sneezes previously you know what it is it's because can you do what can you just like can you do a scream sneeze fake one I just like I need to like um I need to hear it so my dad sneezes is really loud so let me try to channel that I'm nervous like I'm locked in I'm listening uh don't don't want to be friends anymore that was not it though because my dad was way deeper I was really trying to channel his sneezes but the thing is is that like if you have kids around I will say that me and my brother would laugh so hard when my dad with sneeze that's cute so I think that's also why this doesn't trigger me is because I have a good memory associated with loud sneezing that's cute yeah I do not I have been woken up so many times by my dad's loud sneezing if you have allowed sneeze screamer can you please record them and then tag me in it on Instagram I would like I just want to see for research like what are you dealing with but okay we're moving on to this next one okay if you are grossed out by poop please skip to the next story okay so this one is coming from r-slash am I overreacting it's titled am I overreacting she's shit with me in the shower yes this is bringing back to our first episode throwback baby this is the one that at the episode that I would talk about to be for people yeah that that I would tell everyone what the podcast is about hello longtime lurker first time poster throw away because I don't want this affiliated with my main I female 22 have been dating this girl female 21 for about three months and it's been great the only red flag I've seen before this was that she was a bit messy leaving things without putting them away including trash anyways yesterday we went to a karaoke club got super wasted and she spilled her drink all over us no big deal we went to my apartment after we were in the shower nothing sexy or anything we were too drunk for that but I remember looking down and there was a streak on the bottom of the shower and I asked her what it was I shit you not she said quote oopsie I did a poopsy keeper and pushed the ball of shit into the drain with her toe oh my god I didn't know what to say I just kind of stood there this chick really just poop I told myself that she was drunk and we could talk about it tomorrow today fast forward to this morning we woke up and I could not get what I saw out of my head and so I tried to keep it light and laugh about pooping maybe try to get it into the toilet in the future and she goes on to explain that she just feels comfortable with me and doesn't want to hide who she is anymore oh I asked if she poops in the shower all the time yeah oh no no she does I asked if she could refrain from doing so in my shower and she agreed da da da da da da. I just feel like I can't move past this and look at her the same and kind of want to break up with her. Am I overreacting? I need you to know how much more disturbing this image is for me after yesterday unclogging our bathroom. Bath tub. What was in your bag just not pooped but my point is is that like my hair is long. And even though I tried to like I it gets in my hands and I'll put it on the side of the shower and then I end up in throw away. I get it away. I clock you. Yeah, put it in there. But still some hair falls into the drain. Right. It happens. I started filling up and so I like got a snake and pulled it out and it was like an actual snake in there. And like my hair was tangled up with just like like gunk. Just like it was like a white gunk and like I don't I don't know what it all was but I was like pulling and pulling and it was like really gross and I just can't imagine if my partner was pooping in there and I'm using my hands to like rope this stuff out with their poop in my. Oh yeah, no. Sorry. That is a safety hazard. We can have no we can't have any of that. Did I do you remember what happened at the condo when I lived with my dad? Our pipes in the building, the building was old. The pipes got insanely clogged. Apparently the upstairs neighbor was flushing wipes. There were rumors. He was also putting diapers down the toilet. Like it was it was really bad. So our our pipes for the whole building like clogged. Well because this guy who came said he found diapers and was oh my god. Yeah. I like I have a hard time believing someone would be dumb enough to flush diapers but there is a towel in there. If there was someone dumb enough, it would be him full on Christmas tree. And so because everything clogged all of a sudden because it went from the third floor to the second floor to the first floor out to the sewer. Yep. So my toilet started overflowing with stuff that wasn't mine. The pipes were so backed up my bathtub started filling with the building's shit. Oh my god. The night before I was supposed to record like my first episode with a big guest it was horrible. Horrible. I get to come over to that. They're like smells good. No, I I paid for an emergency plumber. It was the most insane thing. They came and like jetted the pipes with a huge water jet. Oh my god. But like you're not that that's not supposed to be in there. No. Like I wouldn't I don't blame you. I don't think you're overreacting. I think you I think you would have to break up. I'm you can pee in the shower all you want. Yeah. P away. But when you start pooping in that shower. That's where I draw the line. We're done. We got to have some never done here. I mean if you accidentally shit yourself and you need to rinse off different story. But if you're doing it continuously. There's toilets girl. There's toilets for a reason. No I completely agree. The fact that O.P.'s partner said that it's a constant thing that would be very very concerning. Yeah. I mean she said she just feels comfortable with me and doesn't want to hide who she is anymore. Who she is is shitting in the shower. I also just think it's so it's so weird like I don't care how comfortable I am with anyone. Like why would you want to expose them to that smell. What if you had a taco the day before and there was a corn kernel in there. That's kind of a point. I just don't know why. I think I had a story with Michaela this past week too and there was like a poop story because they I don't know what red it goes through phases and poop is on the reddit brain right now. I remember when people thought you would like a fetish. I know I was talking to someone the other day and they were like describing their podcast and they were like yeah it's a comedy podcast and we talk about diarrhea a lot and they go whoa. You got to be careful with that. People will accuse you of having a poop fetish. I don't know why that's like probably one of the funniest like negative things anyone's ever said. I'm so crazy because I really like it actually freaks me out like if you knew me like it. I just find it hilarious. It's hilarious. Oh my god. But yeah. Top comment. You cannot spend your life with somebody that shits on the floor and mashes it down the drain with their foot. I feel like this isn't a thing that even needs to be verbalized. But it's how we started the podcast. O.P. response. She just said it with such calm. I wanted to be sure. Yeah. And now I feel so valid. I'm definitely breaking up with her. Wait do they live together? No. Only dating for three months. Oh okay. Oh wow. Only three months. Run. Run. O.P. has since deleted their account. That's all she wrote. She's like I don't want to be associated with that anymore. Well that's just like nostalgic for me. I know that sounds crazy but like truly that I think it was either the first or the second episode that we recorded was a story where also stomping. Yeah. Where this girl I think was like I don't know what to do. I just found out that my boyfriend always poops in the shower which is why after the gym he always forces me to shower first and one day I finally was like no you shower first like why do you why do you always do this and he was like it's because I don't want you to go into the shower right after I pooped in it and she was like what and I think they'd been together for like years like they were living together. They were living together. Yeah. And that one. So that's fun dodge to play. Yeah. That's just like for so long when I would tell people like they're like oh what's the podcast about I'd be like well it's like Reddit stories and they're like what kind like finance and I'd be like no like this girl had a boyfriend who poops in the shower so she's like what do I do and we're like I'm right up. It's so vintage. I spoke on a panel. It's a vintage. Last year and it came up on the panel of like why do you have video podcasts and I'm like well like I'll give you guys an example. Does anyone in the room know what waffle stomping is and like you saw like a couple people like so I go lowly raise their hands. They're like do I want to admit this literally and I go for those of you that don't know waffles stomping is when you take a shit in the shower and stompa down with your foot and the room gasped like jaws were dropped and I go that's why you have a yeah. Yeah. It's like this like no it's so powerful. It was powerful but exactly. I think these next couple stories are going to be pretty powerful as well. Powerfully ill sick. Listen up. Huh? That means you. Yes you. We know you're pointing at yourself when it comes to party power games we've got a place made for all sorts. From the experts to the drama queens. It's made the J.C. The finance bros. Look at those stocks lads. We'll stick with slots. It's what we're good at. And not forgetting you. Yes you the one listening because at party power games we've got all sorts of games for all sorts of treacles eligibility rules in terms of conditions apply. Please camera responsibly. A team plus camera way. A dot org. This next one which would be honest. Okay you guys there is going to be the people are ill theme over on patron with Lauren. We just read a story that. It's a patron story. Yeah. It just does not fit. On the side of things. Yeah. It's a heavy conversation and we just feel that it's better to have in a space where it's a little more communicative and people can really like we can intimately have a conversation which is what we do on patron with a lot of the stories that we feel are too big or too heavy for the main channel. So that is now going to go over there. It is a story about a mom who's asking am I the asshole for like still visiting my son in prison and so really complex story and we definitely want moms to chime in and just like have a conversation with us but it's going to be over on patron. So instead our last story before a palette cleanser is going to be this one. Okay. Trigger winning though you guys the story does contain talks of a very traumatic birth. So if you cannot handle that today please go to the palette cleanser. So it is titled am I the asshole if I told my husband I wanted a divorce after he made fun of how many pants I tried on. I 30 female had a baby eight weeks ago via a traumatic birth. Ten hours of active labor, super high fever, emergency C section and my son didn't breathe for eight minutes after coming out. Oh my God. I told my husband 37 male that I had no birth plan and I just wanted us to all get out of the hospital alive and healthy. However, I did have a very specific plan for the first 40 days postpartum that involved eating specific Chinese foods, limiting outings and not being cold or in the wind. I told him it was very important to me culturally and for my healing while I was pregnant which also had its complications. I meal prepped and froze a lot of food that I just asked him to heat up and add vegetables and make rice and I wrote down recipes for him. He said I got you baby. He in fact did not have me. I spent the first two weeks postpartum sleeping on the couch because I couldn't get in and out of bed after my surgery doing the whole night shift by myself every night and not eating anything besides the fast food he would bring home or I would end up cooking for us. He told me that staying inside for 40 days was stupid so by day 10 we were going out. I know that I should have said no but I was too tired to argue. We had gone to the beach day 14 and when we got there there were 35 mile-power winds and my husband said quote let me just fish for a little and then we can go but he disappeared down the beach with the car keys for three hours. Oh hell no. While the baby and I sat in the wind. On day 16 he invited his sister to stay with us for a week so I had to vacate the couch and climb in and out of our bed still taking the whole night shift. His sister had a very similar surgery hysterectomy earlier this year and was telling my husband and I about the risk of hernias after surgery like ours. This was after both of them sat on the couch and watched me haul laundry to and from the garage while they watched TV. She also demanded that we eat certain foods while she was here that she can't get back home and my husband door dashed whatever she wanted to the house and or drove us all to go get food that she wanted. Meanwhile I couldn't get him to heat up frozen food for me. She also told us about the importance of scar care after the surgery and suggested that I get a C-section massage. Any place I found were over $200 and I texted my husband that I felt guilty spending that much money on something so selfish. He changed the subject and didn't address my text at all. I felt so incredibly hurt by this. I don't know if I was hormonal or what. No, he's a horrible person. But him not saying anything to me, feeling guilty for wanting to do something nice for myself made me feel so unloved and insignificant. Especially because after his sister had her surgery, he talked to me about wanting to send her $10,000 of our savings to help her out with medical bills. And he didn't even acknowledge let alone offer to pay for a $200 massage for me. Wow. After I was cleared for regular physical activity at six weeks, I asked him if it would be okay if I spent 30 minutes a day in our garage working out. He agreed and said he would watch the baby for me. The next day when I asked him to hold the baby for me while I worked out and he took my son, he put him down into the baby Bjorn. The baby started crying halfway through and I had to finish my workout while wearing the baby. He told me while I was pregnant that it was a non-negotiable for him that he continued going to the gym three times a week and started going back week four from 2pm to 6pm, leaving me with the baby and having to figure out dinner. 2 to 6? Is there a typo in that? Holy. Oh my, oh, what is wrong with this guy? The last straw for me was yesterday. The last straw for me was right when you started. Right when you started talking Morgan, I was done. I had been with the baby all night and all morning and he wanted to go and get lunch. So I asked him to watch the baby so I could get dressed and I was taking longer than usual to get ready. He snarkly said to the baby, quote, �Moms got to try on six more pairs of pants before we can leave. And I lost it on him. I screamed, nothing fits me because I just had a fucking baby and I don't get to work out at all. I told him I fucking hate him and that he should go to his parents house or sleep on the couch or whatever, just leave me alone. He shook his head at me like I was being irrational and I felt such rage inside of me. How could he not see that I was dying? I spent the night googling divorce lawyers and I feel like I'm overreacting. Nope. Not at all. Do we get to update? I'm like, let's cut to the chase where you guys do get divorced. Come on. Fast forward to the ending. Also, try not to say it. Try not to say it. Try not to say it. Is he in love with a sister? There's definitely some interesting family dynamics. I don't understand. There's like, I would help my siblings if they needed it, but I wouldn't help my siblings overcarrying for Justin. That's why I'm like, it wouldn't be odd to me if that's the purpose. I'm just a person that he is, but the fact that he puts a sister on a pedestal and his wife who carried his baby, like gave birth to his baby and he's going to treat her, like crap, like that is so weird to me. I'm just disgusted by him. I'm absolutely disgusted by him and there is an edit. So looking at the actual post on Reddit, the post has been removed by OP. They ended up deleting their account. So I don't know if that's because of the comments and what they got and just like didn't want to hear it or reconfirmed what they were feeling and then just like, I'm good. I'm delete this before it goes crazy. I do have screenshots of an edit, but would you like to get into the top comments and then talk about the edit and then really go off on this person? Or do you want to go off, edit top comments? Or go off top comments, edit. I think just start reading wherever you first see a word. I see many words. Just pick one and go, extracts me out. I'm really indecisively. I have decision paralysis. It is bad. So the top comment, because I do think this came before the edit, not the asshole. My ex once went hiking with a friend and left me alone with a four month old while I had a pretty serious case of the flu. That was only the beginning. Notice I said, ex, these guys just don't get it. Don't want to get it and should never marry in the first place. You are not overreacting. You aren't dragging it out for 20 years like I did. That's the type of wisdom I did not have. Next comment. I now ex wanted to go on a father's day hike. 10 days after our baby was born, vaginal, not C-section, a hard rated hike, 5 to 8 mile loop around a waterfall. You start at the top. So the second half is back up. We got into a massive fight because he would not slow the fuck down while I was carrying our baby upward hike of slippery rocks and waterfalls. He put on the baby carrier and just sped off without me. He still does not think he was wrong. Our kid is a teenager. Some dudes just don't get it. At least both of those have my now ex and someone does quote them and goes at least some kind of happy ending. So one of the other top comments is a hyperlink and it says he gets it. He just doesn't care. And when you click the link, it goes to another post. It's from the 2x chromosome subreddit. Titled He Knows He Doesn't Care. My husband says he doesn't see the mess he leaves on the floor. I was in a paving to pick it up. My fiance keeps grabbing my boobs randomly even though I asked him to stop. My boyfriend yells at me in slam stores whenever we argue. He understands. He knows he doesn't care. He can hear you. He has a job. He attended school. When he gets pulled over by a cop, he gets his license out. He can read. He can follow directions, listen, understand consequences and act to avoid them. He simply does not care about you. He is quite comfortable with you being unhappy, uncomfortable, burnt out, traumatized. As long as it means he gets what he wants and can keep the status quo. There isn't a special way to rephrase your feelings that will get through to him finally. Or special tactic you can use to get him to respect you. I honestly feel most women just don't understand how much disdain some men have for us on average. As painful as it is, we absolutely must come to terms with the fact that most, yes, I said most, men do not see or respect women as real people just like them. Equal in value and humanity to themselves and their male buddies. Most, meaning it's statistically more likely that guy you're dating views you as a continuum from benevolent sexism to mild dehumanization to callous indifference to veiled contempt to outright hatred. Saying I care about you, I love you, I'm trying, I'm sorry, does not mean those things are true. Actions make those words true. A man who cares, loves, tries and is sorry, doesn't make you rack your brain trying to find novel ways to communicate to him. He knows he simply doesn't care. Wow, that's such a powerful comment. Woo. And yeah, just wow. It really is like I was talking to my friend about this who had gotten out of relationship and she was saying how she saw herself so mean to her partner towards the end in a way that she's never seen herself. And I was like, well, he did a lot of crazy, awful things to you. He betrayed you a ton and you continued to forgive him and you kept trying to teach him how to love you correctly. And the thing that's so difficult is that like as humans, it's like when we first start dating people, we're not showing them all our bad right away, right? So we get attached to each other early on. And then when the bad starts coming out, we're already attached to each other so it can be really hard for us to like pull away. And so when these other sides come out, instead of just being like, I got to leave, we think we got to teach them how to love me correctly. And sometimes sometimes I can work. But most of the time it's this never ending game of making yourself crazy of just like trying to figure out what way you can communicate with them. Is it softly? Is it in the morning? Is it aggressively? Is it nicely? What's what is it going to be that they'll finally start like getting it and respecting me and like showing me with actions? And the answer is, it won't. You'll just end up being the worst version of yourself and screaming towards the end of the relationship until you finally are done. But sorry. No, I think that was really good. I'm sitting here like I'm soaking it all in. And I'm like, I'm just, I'm thinking because yeah, I think like if there's small issues early on, yeah, you can fix a lot of those. You can learn how to communicate. You can learn what each other needs from the relationship. But if you get down the road to a point, especially once a baby's involved and they're still not getting it, you are expressing your feelings and they're still not hearing you where they just don't care. I don't care. And I do think it's a disconnect because love like love is work and like, yeah, you can choose to like put effort in and like work on your relationship each and every day. I know there's a lot of relationship experts out there that like love isn't easy. But for me, love has not been this hard. Like love has been very like, honestly, it has been kind of easy. Like have we had difficult moments early on? Yeah, we're blending two families. We're learning how to navigate the holidays. We're learning this and that about each other, but like what should happen by the way? That should happen. That's growing. If you're not growing in a relationship, like that's not realistic either. Like, or you're just going to have a fight. Or you're just going to have a fight. If you're not going to have any fight, like there's, there's somebody is like, keeping to themselves. Yeah, it's two humans very complex. Yeah, you need to fight. Like Justin has always said, because I got nervous about like some big fights early on. And he was like, no, like fighting is not bad. Like you do need fights to grow. Like they can be constructive and help. But like again, like you shouldn't feel like a broken record. You shouldn't feel like you're sacrificing your needs being met. And you just feeling terrible because your partner really doesn't care about you. Yeah. Even after a baby, even after you sacrifice. So let's get really into this. So what OP was talking about at the beginning of this whole post was called sitting in the month. So this is a Chinese tradition after childbirth. It's usually about 30 days. It can be longer. And it's a confinement period. There's a beautiful Chinese way to say it. I don't even want to butcher it. Zou Yu Z. I'm not sure. But it's essentially sitting in the month. It emphasizes rest and recovery for the mother. The mom is like supposed to have so much help. The mom actually gets like massages every day to like compress the womb. And it's just this beautiful thing. They eat certain foods. They get pampered. You're not supposed to go outside. You're supposed to sit in your pajamas. You're supposed to be zen. This is like what I expect. Like absolutely. This is what I want. Yeah. This is what I need. I think every woman needs this. Yeah. Desserts this. Shouldn't settle for less. The fact that he dragged her to the beach. How many days after a traumatic birth and C section? No, it's so bad. I was honestly thinking that 14 fucking days. Yeah. And I was thinking. Two weeks. I was thinking that he was going to spin it as like this is for so that you can get sunlight. It'll be healing. 35 mile per hour wind with a newborn baby. Three hours disappeared with car keys in the pocket. Oh my god. I'm checking home. I'm leaving this fucking woman went through hell. Three hours. Do you understand how long it is to sit at a beach for three hours Harry Potter movie in a healthy world without a newborn? I don't even like being at the beach that long. Okay. Well, that's where we differ. But I do feel your air. Newborn. Didn't breathe for eight minutes after being born. No, it's insanity. B section. Cut. Open. Sleeping on the couch. Sleeping on the couch and doing all the night feedings without any help. Smother fuckers laying in bed getting eight peaceful hours. Unreal. I like if you break every single piece of the story working out, working out from 2pm to 6pm on real hours. And she can't even get 30 minutes without the baby crying halfway through and then she's got to wear the baby in a fucking baby carrier or a little baby be born because he can't be bothered. You know, like situations like this make me sad that she can't just like disappear with the baby legally. Like the fact that you have to still like interact with this piece of poo sucks. This is the poo that should get pushed down the drain with the toe. Toe the fuck out of this lawn. Get it. Get it out of your bed. Oh, okay. I'm clearly very unhappy with this one. This man is ill. This man. Oh, this man. What is he deserve to date? Pooh girl. He deserves to. Pooh girl doesn't deserve that. No, no, no. No, no, no. God, Pooh girl's gross. I'm not this bad. He deserves to be put in a big bath tub with a thousand leeches. Wow. Yeah, that's dark. That's not that dark. Thank you. Good to meet you. Good to meet you. Good to meet you. Michaela would have killed him in detail. So we have an edit. Edit for clarification. That's what it says. We talked about every incident and he genuinely feels bad about how he behaved and has been spending more time with the baby with every talk. I fully know that I'm a doormat and have been working on it with my therapist and it was really hard for me to even express my postpartum needs with him. He does financially support us and has spent a ton of money on baby gear and gadgets that helped make nights and feeding easier for me, bottle washer, nicer pump bottles, etc. Easier for you. Yeah, there it is. Rising up, fucking helping. He's a dad. Yeah. He's a dad. That's made it easy. That's made it easier for all of us is what it should be because he should be doing he should be doing that. So he wants to support the family financially but not emotionally, not physically. He wants to have a puppy. He wants the cute little puppy baby like God. And since the beach day, he's greatly decreased our outings with the baby. He has also been holding the baby at night for a couple of hours from 9 p.m. to whenever he goes to bed so I don't forgive him. He's also been on paternity leave this whole time. Wow. Just throw your computer into the wall. Burn the Christmas trees down. Sorry guys. Like this place on fire. I've read that right. I've read. Yeah. He's also been on paternity leave this whole time. So he's not working. Justin. Come here. And he's getting out of his sleep. And he's not feeding the baby. He can't even hold the baby for 30 minutes while you work out. Meanwhile, he's on paternity leave and gets four hours to work out. Oh, well, he's decreased the outings. You and your fucking baby shouldn't be going anywhere. You're supposed to be sitting the month. Sit the month. He can't even heat up a microwavable meal that she already meal prepped and froze. Someone give this man a sack to me so he can't do this again. Or to anyone else. I like the fire in you. Yes. I'm going to fucking get myself canceled. I want to. That's so bad. That's so bad. Can you help? I just um, I don't know what to do. I feel like I've lost you. Like you're in a different, you've gone somewhere. I'm in the inside. Yeah. Inside out movie. Yeah. I'm the little red man. Oh, my God. The red man. She's a. Actually, I think I think I think little red. Little red guy. Little little. Okay. That's who I am. Yeah. He is me. Wow. Anger. Um, she's not done. Oh, after the whole he's been on paternity leave this whole time. Also, I don't have any family. I can stay with right now and my friends have all recently moved out of state. That's so tough. isolation. Oh my God. What? There's another update. That was the edit. We have an actual update. I don't know if mentally I can handle it. Update. We talked this morning and he said that I'm punishing him for things that happened months ago and that it's unfair that I won't forgive him or see his support in other ways. He said that I'm the problem and that I always need someone to be angry with. I brought up his sister and he dismissed it as me needing to compare my life with other people. I told him I feel like I ask for so little and that he's not listening to me. And he said I just fixate on everything he doesn't do. Yeah, because he doesn't do shit. So classic. I just feel so unseen. He said he would love to give me time to go do things I want to do. Quote. Except you don't have any hobbies. He said if I gave you two hours right now, what would you go do? And I said I have to clean the bathroom and do laundry. He said I'm allowed to treat him like shit when I'm hungry and sleepy and he always forgives me. I do get very standoffish and short when I'm both hungry and sleepy, but I can't forgive him for something he did so long ago. Speaking of little and riddles towards the end here, what did he do so long ago? Did he cheat? Is he at the gym four hours every day or is he with a girlfriend? I feel like she's trying to say so long ago as in the tomb because he started off saying that she can't let it go from how he acted right after the birth. I don't know, a little bit of a riddle here at the end, but I mean the comments just go crazy. It's again and again, just please be done. Like please be done. Like this. You're already a single mom. Like he says, if I gave you two hours, what would you do? And it's like, I'd clean the bathroom. That's so messed up that he said that too. Like you don't have any hobbies. So you don't deserve time. Yeah, literally. It's like none of your business bitch. I'll sit in a corner and stare at a wall rather than be next to you for two hours. You asshole. I would take a nap and that is perfectly acceptable. Yeah. Consider I'm doing everything else. Maybe I would have some hobbies if you weren't such an incompetent piece of shit. Yeah. Maybe then I'd have some hobbies. I love that. Maybe I would have the piece of mind being able to leave our child with you knowing that you were going to pop it in a baby-be-orn and then not be able to handle them when they're crying. Yeah. Can't even work out for 30 minutes. I wish you could be competent. I wish you could say this to him. How can we somehow get this message delivered to his face? I don't know. I don't think we're going to get any updates past this. I mean, OP deleted their whole account. I just hope that if anyone out there hears this, this isn't okay. Someone can provide for you financially, but they should still be expected to be apparent. 100%. You both committed to having children. You both signed up for that. Yeah. You saw someone post recently about when you are talking about kids with somebody that you're dating to really dive in and ask all of these detailed questions. How do we divide up responsibilities? What do you think for punishment if a child's doing something that's not appropriate? Actually, asking all these questions beforehand will give you so many answers. It's so important. I just think I've never even considered that. When I was dating, didn't even consider really asking people if they wanted kids. Unless they said, I don't want kids, then I just was like, oh, I just assumed. I don't know. I just didn't really ask those kinds of questions. I just think it's such a good idea to do so because I mean, obviously, OP, you got your baby out of this marriage. That's wonderful. But this guy is probably not your guy long-term. The fact that he only temporarily started acting better and then went right back to being like, you don't notice any of my good things. You're just calling out my bad things. That's... Far votes. He's deflecting and putting it back on you. Exactly. I also am getting now kind of hearing more too. I'm getting some financial abuse. You should have been able to just go and buy that $200 massage. You just had a baby. Really? It's like the least that you deserve. Oh, so frustrating. You should have to ask to go spend $200 on yourself after having a baby for both of you. So I'm getting a lot of red flags. So if this is ringing any alarm bells for you guys, please know you deserve butter. This is not it. I don't think I've been this distraught from a story in quite some time. No, I literally like, it said I lost you for a minute. I don't know if you even knew I was here to be honest. Justin's sitting over there, I don't know what he's doing. I didn't read this fully. I didn't read it fully. Again, I'll read some of the titles and then get to a certain point. I'm like, yeah, it's good enough. Okay. This is really... This is juicy. Sure, shit, didn't read the update. Like... Yeah, Justin... I know. Justin popped in for this last little bit. He's not reacting at all to anything. And he doesn't have your... Just a lot of your pokes. Come in! Come here! Come here! It's not too late. Come here. Come give your slob take. Please be the male voice of reason. I was just making jokes. I don't want Morgan to punch you. Oh, yeah. I'm definitely not coming over. Did you hear me say that? You're so happy playing this. I said, Justin, come here. We need a face to punch. No one's going to punch you. Just a joke. Okay. He's going to come in for a slobby take. I'm going to move. And then we will have the palate cleanser. I've never been this just like razzled before. Razzled, dazzled. I mean, am I the palate cleanser? Yeah. Is that why I'm here? Yeah. I don't know why I'm here. Because the people like seeing you, you're a family face. Yeah, that's cool. I'm here, hi. But like, I don't know why I'm... They're going to have to go a whole week, maybe even two weeks without seeing you. But now they get to see you because you jumped in. The trees look good. You know, I had part in the trees. So yeah, I'm like scared. I have like stage fright. I have anxiety right now. Film prepared. Morgan's face is behind the camera. It's great too. Is this going off the rails, guys? It's great. I think it's... I think it's... I think it's... I think it's... We've been off the rails. Two hot rails. I offered. I offered prior to the story to sit right there with a mic in my hand. And no one seemed excited about that. So... I didn't know that. Feels like I'm being like thrown in at the end. Here you go. You set it too quietly. We didn't hear you. No, it was... It was heard and acknowledged. Do you have any Christmas... I'm okay. Is turning red yet? Any Christmas plans? Seeing family. Friends. This is going downhill quick. Okay. Any knots? I don't know the story. Okay. Okay. Adios. But who here? But okay. Here we go. Here we go. Here here! 4 score 20 years ago. Here we go with the palette cleanser, my friends, because we are certainly not going to end on that note. So... This is titled, My Dentist asked me out. Not sure what to do. It's not in my spreadsheets. It sounds familiar, but it's not there. So here we go. I went to a grocery store over the weekend and saw my dentist, which was a little weird, but she recognized me and came up and said, Hi. We had a little chat, and it was nice because human contact is so non-existent nowadays. Then she said, She had to go and ask for my number. I figured she needed it for dentistry reasons, if I'm being honest, but I probably should have figured out it wasn't for that. Anyways, after I got home, she started texting me with casual stuff. Eventually, we talked about how I'd never read Harry Potter or seen the movies, and she said, Did you pick this one for me specifically? Yeah. A lot of them I picked just for you today. And she said, Quote, We could grab some food and I'll watch them with you, followed by, If you want, about five minutes later, I haven't responded, and it's been 30 minutes. If she wasn't my dentist, it would be an absolute yes. She's hot, and she's fun to talk to. I know we share a couple of hobbies too, which is always nice. On the other hand, I'm 90% sure they aren't supposed to ask their patients out. I always thought she was being a little flirty sometimes, but like I said, I don't think they're supposed to do that. So I never took it as flirting. So I guess what I'm asking here, is what the hell do I do? I don't want to cause problems with her career, but I also would really like to date her a lot. Find a new dentist idiot. Boybrain versus Girlbrain. Come on. Love of your life. Oh my gosh. Over finding a new dentist. Over a once a year that you probably go in every other year. Let's be honest. I'm sorry. What? I'm talking to the guy. How often do you go to the dentist? I don't know, like twice a year. Okay. Yeah, you're good. I'm like, Lauren, you're supposed to be going every six months, girl. I know. I actually should be going every quarter because I have gum issues, honestly. I don't have dental insurance. And going every six months is cheaper than spreading out longer because then you get a cavity and cavities cost way more to fix. Makes sense. Anyone needs a good dentist around the LA area? Dr. Bradley. Matthew. Don't. Don't overbook him because I still need to go there. I know I was going to say that's risky. He's just such a good dentist. Like, such a good dentist. He's incredible. I like went somewhere here when I first needed a dentist out here because my name Minnesota retired. This dentist told me I need like four crowns. I had seven cavities. I went to him and he's like, you're fine. You need one crown. That's it. I'm like, con artist. Save your, like he's so good. So I get, then that breath, I'm like, okay, I get finding a good dentist and not wanting to lose them. But, but a Harry Potter and Love of Life and Hot and similar hobbies, it's a no brainer. It's a no brainer. So, top comment. It's easy to find another dentist, but it's hard to find a good wife. Mm-hmm. Also, it's no worthy to mention how up close she has been with him. She already has an intimate relationship with his mouth and still had the balls to ask him out at the supermarket. Bravo, Madame. Yeah. Someone goes, you fucking go out with her and eventually become her trophy husband. What the fuck is wrong with you? Say yes. Someone does decide to quote the ethics code from the American Dental Association 2.g. Personal relationships with patients. Dentists should avoid interpersonal relationships that could impair their professional judgment or risk the possibility of exploiting the confidence placed in them by a patient. She could lose her license for becoming sexually involved with an active patient. Yeah, I know. They just, they need to not be. I mean, as long as she's not a bad dentist, it's not like, just because she's sleeping with him, I feel like that would incentivize her more to do good dentistry work. You just, not, doesn't work that way. Okay. No, I'm just kidding. I know that. But okay. We do get an update. You knew it was coming, right? I mean, it was like, they're better being updated. Mm-hmm. All right. Geez. I'll say yes. Sorry. That's really nice. I really, really have you for them. Sorry. I was really great up. So, guys. Um, no, that's, that's cute. Okay. Will, what's happening? Is that it? No. Okay. Edit number two. Oh, my God. Haven't raccooned in a while. No, it's actually making it look like you have like a glitterer. Mm. It's pretty. Beautiful. Yeah. Edit two. We're going to watch Harry Potter on Friday. Just need to decide what kind of food to order. Thank you for pushing me to say yes. I honestly probably would have turned her down. Update. Ooh. Three days later. I know it's a different account. Got an auto-mod message telling me I had to make a throwaway account. So, here I am. I don't understand the rules. It's annoying. Anyways, the update that two whole people asked for. Me and you. Checking in. Yes. We got together. Had some food and watched Harry Potter. That's about it, to be honest. In all seriousness, we hit it off pretty quickly. I kind of feel like we were already friends anyways. We usually talk a lot during appointments while she's getting all of her tools ready and such. So, I know a little about her already, but not being in that setting made it easier to talk to her for sure. Yeah. Also, confessed to a bunch of stuff found out she's had a crush on me since my first appointment two years ago. And she was trying to figure out how to ask me out for a while. Also got to hear how she would purposefully try to get a light schedule when I was coming in so she could go slower and we'd have more time to talk, which I think is the cutest thing I've ever heard. A girl actually wanted to spend more time with me on purpose. Another thing. I thought there were three Harry Potter movies, not hundreds, but we got through two of them and have another date set up for tomorrow. So, I'm not complaining. I also had to take all of the tests. So, in case you're interested, Ravenclaw and I have a wood mouse patronus. She seemed happy with that. Don't know why, but she's in Ravenclaw too, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. And lastly, the entire reason I made my last pose. I talked to her about it and I do need to find a new dentist, which kind of sucks, but it's understandable and worth it. Not like I'll be missing her or anything because I can just talk to her whenever now. Unfortunately, until all the dentist's swapping is dealt with, we are just friends. But we both made it clear that we want to be something more... Svicey! ...than that when we can. This might be too much information for some of you, but if I didn't include it, someone would ask, so no, we didn't have sex, and no puns about oral were made. We were making out and she stopped it. She felt uncomfortable doing anything with someone that was still a patient, so we just cuddled and watched the movies instead, and I drove her home afterwards. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, I'm like giddy! It was probably the best first date I've ever had. Oh, I love being on this journey with you. So cute! That's awesome. I'm just like, this is so funny. So anyone who follows me on Instagram probably knows that I'm watching Harry Potter for the first time through. I just finished last night. And like, I'm floored. You've seen it all, right? Yeah. Yeah, I had no idea. When I was little, I watched the first three movies when they came out in theaters. And you thought that's all there was? Well, I just didn't like, I didn't piece them together. I kind of thought that it was like these kids that would do these little side quests and then solve it. And then, you know, it was like the box car kids? I don't know what that is, but sure. But no, it just like, well, I didn't mean like that. I just had to book history. They're in like elementary school. Well, that's what I thought Harry Potter was apparently. But I just like, I couldn't believe one how sad it was in the other movies. I never expected that. I didn't think anyone would die. I thought they were like kids movies. And I also just didn't know it would all tie together. Like the way that it, everything all of a sudden started making complete sense. And I just thought it was so magical. And I love fantasy and I love magic type stuff. So I just thought it was so fun. And I can't believe it's been so long. And I just think it's really cool that I got to experience that. And I don't know what to do now. That's like what I had been looking forward to is like watching more. And now I just feel kind of like what now? Have you seen it's a show called The Discovery of Witches? No. I think you start there. Okay. The white queen. I love. Love the white queen. Oh, maybe you start there. Okay. Start there. Okay. The white queen. It's all I got. People are ill. I'm ill after that. My brain, I feel like I brainwrought. I'm like, what? What did I just put us through? I actually feel less ill. Okay. Y'all lawn wants this spoiler alert. If you haven't seen Harry Potter yet. Yes. Goodbye. This is where we end for you. Yes. Love you. Thank you for being here. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That was a great palette. I will say the other day when you posted a picture of Dobby, the elf. Oh my god. I was like, did she's going to be wrecked? I was so pissed. I can't even. Oh, he's a free elf and then bam. Done. Unbelievable. Honestly. Sorry, spoiler. If you haven't seen Harry Potter. I was going to say you should probably add a spoiler before that. You've had plenty of chances to see Harry Potter at this point. No. If somebody, like I, no one ever spoiled Harry Potter for me, which is so cool. I don't know how. I don't know how you got to experience that in Game of Thrones in modern day without any spoilers. I don't know. Make that makes sense. I don't know. I feel crazy. I truly did not know what happened to the point that I started thinking Harry Potter was going to die. Oh, yeah. I was like, yeah, especially when he's in that way. He's going to die. Yeah. Like, he's. Also, I feel like I need to give a spoiler again. Can you put a spoiler right before this insert spoiler, please? Yeah. Okay. We'll put a spoiler in for you. Okay. Okay. Amazing. Thank you. Okay. So, in the next episode, this month, Michaela's episode just dropped. We've got one coming with Justin all about wedding drama and holy smokes since we did the wedding episode until now, the most insane wedding stories have actually dropped that I'm like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. I want to do three more wedding episodes because people are losing their minds, but we can't what we could, but I won't. I won't do that to you. So there will be a good one over on Patreon.

A little something special. Maybe if I have time, maybe I'll drive it over to you if you're close, but how'd you come up with this idea? I'm just on the top of the brain. I like that. Yeah.
