Hello and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane and today's theme is roommates. Which is never dramatic at all. Roommates all get along. Everyone knows that. I'm joined by two people who have been roommates, not with each other but with other people. It's true. Angela and Arashia. I think being Smosh cast members is a hop skip and a jump away from being roommates. We're basically roommates. Yeah. We live at the Smosh house. Content roommates. Yeah we all live in this room. Here. Yeah. Yeah. This is my bed. Yeah. Yeah dude. For sure. How do you feel about roommates? This to me is overall general. This is like a pretty hefty Reddit stories topic or category because this is like okay we're going to talk open relationships. Yeah. We're going to talk like we're going to talk shit that is like full of boundaries and communication and a bunch of people not doing it. Yeah. Roommates is complicated I feel like because like I actually feel like I miss the concept of like having a bunch of friends together all under like one roof. But then I think you get into it and you start to think about like cleanliness and chores and guests and then suddenly it's not actually all that exciting. Roommates is it's a tough situation. Like I think like in relationships and romantic relationships moving in together is the biggest step because being like roommates is more challenging than almost anything else in my eyes. I only had roommates for a short period of time obviously before being married but in that short period like I've joked about it a lot but I lived in like a back house type of situation that was basically just a converted garage. And I'm like while that was like shitty in so many ways it was kind of nice to also have my separate space. Yeah. Had no AC but I also didn't have to deal with so many things but the kitchen had some drama the fridge had a lot of drama. Oh my God. Yeah I kind of had to accept it at a certain point I'm just like I have no real estate in this fridge. Bridges are bitches. Fuck fridges man. They're such cunts. But I will say overall my roommates were pretty chill. I had a lot of them there's a lot of people cycling in and out. I would say over the course of a year I had maybe seven to eight roommates. But everyone was actually surprisingly cool. There was some not cool stuff but overall respectful. Well we're going to read some messy roommate stories. I can't wait messy. This first one comes from Am I Over Reacting. I installed a lock box for my cheese and now my roommate says I'm creating division in the house. Am I over reacting? I'm cheese man. I gotta lock them away. Truly. Big lock box. Even if I lived alone I'm like I gotta lock this away. A cow just could come in. Or else I gotta stop myself. I can't be trusted putting the cheese in the lock box. And I'm screwing you in the key. Who's that? I was going to say that's Reddit to his brother right? That's your dream character. No what's his name? Remi or not. Remi's brother. Remi's brother. Oh what is Remi's brother? Anyone wants to Google it. Randy? Ami or was his name? I can see his face now. Leave it in. Okay here we go. Okay so this might sound insane but hear me out. I a 24 year old man live with two roommates. One is a 29 year old man and one is a 28 year old woman. One of them, 29 year old man, is fine. The other one, 28 year old woman is a fridge pirate with sticky fingers and zero shame. Damn. I don't even think she likes half the stuff she steals. She just eats it because it's there. The final straw was my cheese. My mother brings me cheese from my home country every time she visits. No, I can't buy it here. I had it hidden behind the milk for safe keeping but I opened the fridge yesterday and it was gone. She said, oh I didn't think it was a big deal it's just cheese. Several question marks. No, it's not just cheese. That cheese was the only joy I had left this week. So I snapped. I went into full chaos. I bought a small fridge lock box. I picked up a plastic safe that goes inside the fridge. Combo lock and everything. Put my cheese, my fancy yogurt, my cold brew and my chocolate in there. Labeled it unauthorized entry will be considered an act of war. She saw it and now she says I'm creating division in the house and being hostile and passive aggressive. Am I or is this what happens when you push a peaceful person to the brink over dairy? Because honestly I'm about three bites away from putting air tags in my hummus. Okay, now we're being funny. This person's being a little funny. Yeah. Look man, I never in my time of having roommates considered eating anyone else's food. I don't understand that concept. I guess maybe it gets a little dicey when there are some shared stuff, right? If you are like, oh yeah let's all share the eggs, let's all share the milk. There's been discussions over condiments of it, but if it's like hey, if you're the one who empties it out, you have to replenish. You replenish it. It's a good rule. There's some things that are general, but a very unique cheese. I would say cheese hits the category of, because cheese also, that's tough. You don't know how expensive a cheese is. That varies. That's like wine. Definitely. And especially if you're finishing it. Yeah man. I feel like the rule, even if you do take something, you don't finish it. You don't finish it. You just hope they don't notice. But I will say, I think, go with me on this, lockbox aside, I think it is adding tension to the house because of it saying this is a declaration of war. Unauthorized entry will be considered an act of war. Yeah. That's what I'm like, okay, now I'm scared. You are adding some crazy tension to the house. Technically it is hostile. Yes. Am I saying you're in the wrong? No. It is technically, you are discussing an act of war here. Just saying those words in that place. If we were having a diplomacy meeting, I think we'd be like, hey, what are we doing here? Maybe just a picture of a little guy going, don't touch that. Yeah. That's fine. Something cheeky in the fridge. Sure. Yeah, like MC Hammer, can't touch that. Can't touch this. Yeah, yeah. You gotta respect that. Totally. But I guess I get that people are a little territorial over it. I want to know how much. I want to know the final straw too. Yeah, yeah. The final string of cheese. Exactly. Yeah, the final lock. But I want to know the specifics of it. How many conversations about specific things. Sure. And did this person know, right? Because they're saying it's just cheese, but maybe if they were alerted. I don't like that excuse. I don't like that. Really? I don't like just being like, oh, it's just cheese. It's like, hey, you're eating his food. Yeah. Like, I don't know. I, once again, me personally, I never understood the concept of grabbing other people's food. Especially if you're not like friend, if your friends and roommates, maybe that, that hits different territory. Yeah. But this is just roommates. You're kind of strangers. I'm like, wow, that's, that's wild. Yeah. You think the lock box is getting enough. Ventilation. Yeah. To, to take care of his fancy yogurt and cheese. Like if it's a box. How much ventilation does it need? I don't know, but you want to be cold. Does cheese need a lot of ventilation? I just mean like, you're just putting like a big box. Well, it's a classic box, you know? I've never heard of a fridge lock box. That sounds pretty cool. It is, it is a little harsh, but it seems like this person was probably pushed to do that. Yeah. Comments. Oh my God, I would be so upset, especially if it is from via ahumada. Absolutely not overreacting, especially if it has to be brought to you personally. OP responded, ha, ha, ha. This is the one. Yes. Ahumada cheese. Ultimately what the reality is is that this is not cheese that he can get at home. This is only cheese that his mom brings him. Look, this reminds me of the Rancho Gordo beans. This does remind me of the beans. Look, man, which I won't lie. I have a pound of Rancho Gordo beans soaking in a pot right now at home. He's been talking about this all day. When I get home, I'm going to cook it. Yeah. It's going to be okay. Are you all right? I heard a noise. What? Like in your ear? What? What is going on? Okay, okay. I went to touch my hair and I swear I heard a duck quack. What? Like something hit something that went, quack. I'm just making sure there's like not a duck quack. I want a duck to walk out right now. And just be like, sorry, can we hold? Sorry, you guys are getting this riled up over cheese. How about some bread, am I right? I think we're clear. You can continue shaking. There's no duck bag, yes. There's no duck. We're good. Okay. That's insane. I literally went quack. Like I heard that. Was it you? No, that would be zygotic. I heard it going quack. I think you quacked. I think I got a drink more water. Okay. All right. Some other comments. Leave it. Someone said, as a dairy fiend myself, in jail I was the dairy king. Very reasonable reaction. What? Hell yeah bro. Sorry, you in jail? He came back to say that. He was, oh man. I was in jail. I was on sass or cheese. They called me the dairy king over there. I killed the guy. Anyways, post, not the asshole. When people take my cheese, I murder them. I feel like I'm on truth. This is our first story. This is our first story. Someone else said, I want a fridge lock box. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I want a fridge lock box now. Don't need one, but now I must have one. Okay, update. Cool, Marissa. Update. Okay. Here we go. Okay, I did not expect this to blow up like this. I'm laughing so hard. I haven't even got the time to read all the comments. There's too many. However, the two big takes are what is this cheese and the note is aggressive. The cheese is Asadaro cheese. It's Mexican cheese. And yes, if you look it up, you can probably buy it online. It is not the same though. The one I like and get is from this small 10,000 inhabitant town two hours away from my hometown. It just has this unique taste and it makes sense to me. The note is not aggressive. It's a joke like, hey, I'm locking my food away from you, but we're still cool. However, please stop stealing. I'm not actually going to go to war, although it would be fun. Anyway, I'm pretty sure we've moved on. He's buying me lunch tomorrow and I'm not getting rid of my lockbox, nor am I getting a mini fridge for my room. I like the idea of her seeing tasty stuff in my lockbox and not being able to eat it. It's the lockbox see-through so you could see what's in it. Yes. That's evil. That's fucking awesome. He said he won't go to war, but that would be fun. He says it's fun. He says he enjoys tormenting them. So then it should be like with a funny emoji at the end because just the words itself are pretty harsh. Those are scary. I could see that being devilish. If you had a lockbox, you had a bunch of roommates, and you're putting just the most delicious treats in there. Just chocolate. Just tier a masseuse, just like a line of delicious cupcakes, just absolutely. They're evil. And you're just in your room and you hear at night, ding ding ding ding, eh. Ding ding ding ding, eh. Fucking shit. And then you're hanging out with your roommates and they're just like, that's crazy. Hey, what's your favorite number? What if we just set our favorite four numbers in a row? Hey, what's your birthday again? Cool, cool, cool. What about your mom's birthday? Just curious. It's crazy you bought dibs, those like miniature ice cream little things. I didn't know they had those anymore. That's crazy. So what's your death birthday? What the hell? Man, I didn't know they made yo play with like that, with like a Greek yogurt. That sounds awesome. He's like going to visit one of his other roommates' rooms and he's just like, hey, what's up? Oh, is that a crowbar? It's like, oh, yeah. Oh, honestly, I found this. He brings home all these books, hacking locks. Oh, I'm just studying something. Oh, this kills me. We did the whole Seinfeld version of this. You can't get in, Jerry. I mean, look at the stuff in there. You figured out the lockbox. We're trying to figure out the lockbox. Jerry, you won't get in there to her fancy yogurt. Diane's over there just like, oh, you guys care about this lockbox? Oh, God. I do want to know more about this fancy yogurt, actually. I feel like we've heard one about the cheese. We skipped over the fancy yogurt. Yeah. I want to know. I bet it's the kids' yogurt with cookies. Oh, if you had gogurt. You mean the pinnables? No. Is it the pinnables? No, I'm talking about the yogurt that you would get like... I'm talking about the yogurt crunch. Yogurt crunch? Yogurt crunch. I'm talking about the yogurt crunch. Yogurt crunch. Yogurt for boys. Yogurt crunch. Wait, have you said this opinion on Reddit stories that yogurt is pink? I'm not getting into this thing. Bring it. Bring it here. Bring it to this audience. Not next to this one. Bring it. Not next to this one. Angela thinks yogurt is pink. All yogurt. You think like standard yogurt is pink? I think most yogurt is pink. Most yogurt is pink? No. You said all. Wow. It's hit every channel now. The yogurt is pink has gotten smoshy-got. Okay, let's move on to our next story. Today... Every day, the world gets a little weirder and a lot more awesome.

I forgot that this isn't all about fridges. I know fridge Reddit stories. We're talking about fridges today. And today I have two fridges today. And they're running. We gotta catch them. It is the last video. It's the last video on a Monday. This is bad guys. Kill me. This is really bad. Am I the asshole fridge? No. I'm sorry. Oh no. Okay. I, a 19 year old woman, have been dating my boyfriend Will, a 20 year old man, for about six months now. I have been in relationships before but this is definitely my first serious and healthy one. And I'm really happy with him. We met in our hometown but we go to different universities that are about two hours apart. However we try to see each other whenever we can, maybe about every three weeks. Usually Will will come and visit me because, A, he has a car so it's cheaper slash more convenient for him. Plus bus routes between our cities no longer exist since Greyhound shuttered. B, a lot of his courses are still online only whereas I have it in person lectures. And C, my house is a lot nicer than his. Whenever he visits he stays for four to five days which my roommates are okay with. He's also very nice and helpful. Doing chores he'll help or he'll help take out the trash. Slash wash dishes slash make me breakfast etc. Will. One of my roommates, Cass, 19 year old woman, was dumped near the end of September and since then I felt like she has been weird with Will. A few examples. Sometimes he'll cook for me if I'm busy at school or working late at the lab. And oftentimes he'll make enough for my roommates too. Almost every time this happens, Cass makes comments about how he's so sweet and that she wishes she had someone like him and how her ex could never. Will and I usually reassure her and say she'll definitely find someone who will treat her right but she just looks at him expectantly. Expecting what? I don't know. When he helps with manly stuff like taking out the trash, installing a hook in my room, moving heavy things, she always makes sure to linger around and comment about how strong he is and how I'm lucky to have such a fit partner. Whenever he visits we literally can't avoid her. If we go out, Cass will ask to come with us. My roommates and I use an app that tracks our location for safety reasons and when I go out with Will and don't tell her, she'll usually text me asking where I'm going, what my plans are, if I want to hang out, etc. We try to stay in my room but if Will goes to the kitchen or something, Cass will always happen to wander in. We have to lock my bedroom door when we sleep to make sure she doesn't come in. Knock, knock! Can you get in there? I brought cheese! I'm not much of a drinker but after our midterms, Cass wanted to have a little thing with just the roommates. It was fun, we drank a little and watched movies. I'm pretty lightweight so I got sloshed pretty fast and at some point I was calling Will. And when Cass found out I was calling him, she was like, is that Will? And kept ripping the phone from my hands very aggressively. She's a lot stronger than I am and really loudly started talking about her sex life and asking him about his, saying shit like, make sure you hit it deep. This is pretty in character for Cass who claims to enjoy making people uncomfortable and makes these kinds of comments for shock value, but I felt like she should have turned it off around my boyfriend. She was only tipsy at this point, not really drunk. Overall, anytime he's nice to her, she'll say things like, haha, it's almost like you're my boyfriend. And whenever she refers to him around me, she'll call him our boyfriend as a joke, but I still feel weird about it. Will finds this all very uncomfortable and tries his best to avoid Cass as best as he can or shut her down when she makes those comments. I'm not sure if I should bring it up with her because on one hand I'm very uncomfortable, but on the other hand I feel like she'll just deny everything or say it's all for jokes and maybe get hostile with me. Any advice? Appreciate it. Yeah, I feel like there's plenty of signs here. Absolutely. I mean, of course she wants to date Will, we all want to date Will. Look, Will sounds like the best boyfriend on the planet. Right, he's our boyfriend. He is our boyfriend. He's ours, okay? But you can't have him. No. He's OP's. I think OP needs to get a lock box that she could put Will in. Put your man in lock box. Oh. I kind of want to be like, hey OP, you really want to fuck your boyfriend. Oh no, and she knows. Oh, that's clear. She's aware of this, I think. Hey OP, you don't want to fuck your boyfriend. She's giving her the, she's giving Cass the benefit of the doubt. Truly. Truly. It's pretty clear. Damn. A bunch of comments here. Next time she says that to Will, he should say, no, I'm your name's boyfriend. And when she says it to you, you should do the same. Make it clear he is not her boyfriend and you have to start putting boundaries in other situations too. Like when you go out and she asks you to come, you should say, no, it's a date. We want to be alone and so forth and so on. Someone else said, since both of you are uncomfortable, you should talk to her about it. Hey, I'd like to talk to you about something. It makes Will and I uncomfortable when you make comments about him being your boyfriend and wanting to hang out with us all the time. I feel like you are crossing a boundary in my relationship and I would like you to stop. Lastly, someone said, have you talked to your other roommates about it? If so, what do they say? If you haven't yet, I'd bring it up with them first. Get their opinion on it. It'll also help later on if when you bring it up to cast and she tries to turn it around on you, slash Will. Which I feel like she will, right? Like, there are 19 roommate situations like this. Like, she's going to say you're overreacting. She's also going to make you pay for it. Yeah. When you bring it up. That last comment actually is interesting to me. I don't know if I would loop the other roommates in. I feel like I would maybe start, maybe I'm missing some context here, but I feel like I would start with just the clear boundary setting of being like, no, he's my boyfriend or having Will kind of communicate that to and also being like, actually we were hoping to just go on a date, just the two of us and kind of start there. And then if the conversation needs to happen, then approach it. And then I feel like I would have other people for support. But for me, I don't know. I feel like this maybe seems like it's kind of just between them. Sure. I mean, it depends on the roommate situation. I mean, my take is I feel like a lot of roommates will just be like, oh yeah, I don't know, weird, but that's gauging the roommates that I had. But update. Fuck yeah. Oh my God. He is now all of their boyfriend. Ooh. You think it's going worst case in a row? Huge orgy where Will hits it deep. The way that Cass likes it. What? She's just repeating it. She's just saying what's in the story. I'm saying what the story was. She's just saying what's in the story. I'm just saying what it was. Guys, relax. Okay, Dianna, no. Hey there. A couple of people were asking for an update, so here it is. I also found out this post blew up on TikTok, which is pretty funny because Cass has a crippling TikTok addiction. I read pretty much all the comments, discussed stuff with Will. And we decided that I'd try bringing it up with my other roommates, and if the behavior persisted while he was here, we'd try our best to shut the behavior down jokingly or by using social pressure. To give an idea of the timeline, I made my original post under a week before he was supposed to visit, so the following things have happened before his visit. I was alone with one of my roommates, Jen, and I started to bring up Cass's behavior around Will. I didn't even get a sentence in before Jen stopped me and said, I know, she's been weird. Apparently, Jen and our fourth roommate, Eva, had discussed this before, but they weren't sure if I even noticed because I didn't seem to react. Jen is definitely the closest to Cass. We all went to high school together, but I was only really friends with Eva at the time. She said she brought it up privately with Cass after Will's last visit, and Cass just did a thing where she talks and incoherently defends herself. Eva and Jen agreed to step in if shit got out of hand with her. Cass was very excited for Will's visit and would say stuff like, oh, I can't wait to see him, or just a few more days. I have a test from 7 to 9 p.m. on his second day here, and apparently she talked to Jen about picking out a movie for the two of them to watch while I wrote my biochem test. She settled on Sinister 2 for anyone wondering. Okay. I wasn't. Jen said that she was out of line, but again, Cass just incoherently defends herself. Every time she made comments like that, my roommates and I would just silently give her a look and say, um, okay, anyways, and change the subject, which seemed to at least make herself conscious. During his visit, Cass was all over him as soon as he got here, pouting and saying, where's my hug? No! Jen hugged her instead, and we used this time to escape into my room, LOL. Day 2 rolls around, and as soon as I'm out of the house, she tries to get Will to watch the movie with her, saying she really wants to watch it, but doesn't think she can do it alone. Will politely declines and continues playing video games in my room, and she leaves. Throughout the rest of the visit, I'm firm with her, telling her she can't come on our dates, saying she's being weird when she makes comments about how hot he is, or how he's our boyfriend. Will has also done what one other commenter suggested, and just point blank said that he's my boyfriend, and that he'll never be hers. At some point, he's so aggravated. He stops talking to her or acknowledging her at all, because he was worried he would yell at her. I've never heard him raise his voice before this. As time wore on, I felt like she got increasingly desperate for Will's attention. This is the absolute craziest part. Just now, while I was showering, Cass went into my room, where Will is, in her underwear and a bathrobe, saying she knows he's playing hard to get, but that he can't resist her. Barf. Will started yelling at her to get the fuck out, which alerted my roommates and I. Eva and Jen dragged a tearful Cass out of my room. She even called me a skinny bitch on her way out. What? I think they're going to drop her off at a friend's house tonight. I'm just fucking floored. I really did not expect her to go nuclear like this, but goddamn. Oh. Oh, my God. Yeah. I really was about to just be like, okay, like it's really unfortunate, like, because it is just like a sad situation for Cass, right? Like, at first I feel like I kind of am giving her empathy because I'm like, that is a really tough situation. If you are really crushing on this guy who you're like, oh, my God, he's so perfect and you're envious of your roommate having this experience, but she completely has crossed the line and done everything possible to be inappropriate. And that's where it's like, girl, we really can't make excuses for you. I mean, I mean, I'm just crossed a million lines. I mean, the level of delusion too of like picking a horror movie to want to watch with him is such a... I can't watch Sinister 2 alone. Right. She's like, oh, my God, I'm going to make my move. Like, oh, my God, he wants me to. I'm going to seduce him and this is going to be the perfect plan. And it's just like, oh. Yeah. And like, look, there's, you can't help who you crush on like, she has a crush on someone who's taken, you can't use your actions and go, oh, well, I shouldn't do anything about it. Yes, I should be out of the house maybe when Will comes. But she is just absolutely crossing every boundary. There was also a thing that she did that's a big red flag to me and she's a, where's my hug person? I don't like those people. No, where's my hug at girl? Where's my hug? I don't like it. No, no. And that's just cringy and weird. And the other roommate had to be like, it's right here. Man, that is bold to watch. That is bold to walk into the, to walk into the room in underwear in a bathroom and go, hey, look. We can't deny this. I'm sorry, but it is kind of also hilarious. Oh, it's hilarious to tell. She's like, you're obsessed with her. And then she's like, you're a skinny bitch. Crashes out immediately. That's insane. Look, you can't deny this. And he's like, please get out. And she just goes, ah. Oh, you're a girl who's a skinny bitch. And I love the way you take out the trash. Like what is happening? That's so sad. Update number two. Yes, she moved. She moved. Casse is out. Everybody moved. I talked with my roommates and Jen called Casse's mom. As pissed as I am, I'm obviously very concerned for Casse, as even though she wasn't the most pleasant person before, none of us could have expected her absolutely unhinged behavior. Casse has gone back home with her parents now. I haven't pried, so I don't know exactly what their plans are now or how she's doing, but it seems like she'll be far away for a while. As her parents came back to pick up almost all of her belongings, they'll continue to pay her share of the rent and even left some apology pastries, which was very nice of them. As awful as that experience was for Will and I, we ultimately decided not to file any kind of complaint or restraining order for the time being. As her parents seemed to have the situation under control, and we didn't want to drag the issue out longer than it needed to be, I hope this is the final update. Thanks for following my story. Wow. Okay, now I really feel bad for making fun of her. Why? I feel like she wasn't well. I just think it's a little sad. That makes me sad. It is sad. Yeah, but she's... That's probably for the best. Yeah, and she's fortunate that she has parents who can pay the rest of her rent and kind of write the situation. It seems like at least she has some support in that way. Yeah, poof. Feels like maybe she just got ahead of herself and then just got a little... Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I feel like sometimes... I forget how long it had been since she had gotten broken up with or whatever situation she was in, but maybe it could have been that she was seeing the situation completely differently, and she was kind of going down that path and being like, oh, this is the truth and this is how I'm seeing it. And she really is. He wants me and we are supposed to be together. And sort of shaping that narrative. But obviously everyone on the outside was like, no, this is what's happening in our reality and it's not okay. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, that's hard. But it's good for OP and her boyfriend. Yeah, it's good they didn't have to like get legal with it. It didn't have to get too bad. I mean, all it took was the boyfriend saying, please get out. Like, I do not want to be with you. And now they know that they're faithful to each other. Yeah. I mean, hey, it was quite a test. Yeah. And also, her parents seem really understanding because like a lot of people will have to leave a living situation for like health reasons like really quickly. And then those roommates are like down and out without a pain. Yeah. And it feels like they're still handling it. Exactly. Yeah. So it worked out there. It did. Dang, that was wild. That was wild. Yeah, I want to see Will. Back to more fridge stuff. Yeah. Our next one. Freezers. Am I the asshole? For finding out I've been unknowingly paying rent to my husband and his mom for two years. What? All right. Why is the mom in there? I, a 31-year-old woman, have been married to Brian, 33-year-old man, for two years. Right after the wedding, we moved into an apartment he said was a great deal from a family friend. We agreed to split rent and utilities 50-50 to keep things equal since we were starting fresh and wanted to avoid money fights. So, I've been sending him $700 a month just for the rent this whole time. Three days ago at a barbecue, I overheard his mom talking about how it's nice getting rent from Brian's place and how smart they were to keep it in the family. Turns out his mom owns the apartment and Brian's on the deed too. I had no idea. He never told me. Just let me keep paying rent for two years like a clueless roommate. When I confronted him, he said I never asked and that I'm overreacting because we weren't overpaying. But I feel completely blindsided. It's not just the money, it's the secrecy. Yes. I told him I won't keep paying until we talk about a fair setup. Now he's acting like I'm the problem. What the hell? The mom and Brian own the apartment. Yeah, but she's paying the monthly. But she's paying them rent. Or she's paying them, yeah, the mortgage. She's paying the mortgage. But is she, no, or is she paying the mortgage? Or is it just like the place is already paid off? We actually, we don't even know. Right. They could have it paid off and they're just, she's just giving them money. They're just making money off of the place as he's living in it. She's, this is her husband. Like, no, this, this is. Oh, this is a massive red flag. No, incredibly messy. Holy crap. Like, sorry, wait, that's your money combined. Yeah. That you're taking. What? And they never told her she's overhurted? He's basically stealing from his wife. Really? Because of what he's doing. And the fact that he's turning around being like you're overreacting that I didn't tell you where your money is going. You didn't ask. Oh, I'm so sorry that I didn't say. If we owned the place. Wait, are you on the deed? That was a question that you were just supposed to come up with? If your husband or wife buys property and doesn't tell you, like, what kind of marriage is that? That's terrible. And then you are financially involved, but you don't know. You're financially, you are liable for that property. And you don't fucking know? For two years. Yeah. No, that's, this is where I talk about where I'm like, this is cheating to me. Like, this is in the same realm of cheating. Yeah. Where it's like such disrespect of not telling your partner something and making huge decisions, having huge things going on, not involving them. Which is just like, why are you married then? Like, why, why would you marry somebody who you want to exploit like that? That kind of response to the response is almost always worse than the action itself. True. When people get called out for the thing and being like, well, you didn't ask. Right. Like, dude, fuck you. It's like, you're cheating on me. Well, you didn't ask. You piece of shit. I don't think you want a wife. I think you want a sub-letter. Verdict was not the asshole. Comments, it's not even that you didn't ask. He said it was a family friend. It wasn't. It was him. Yeah. Someone said, and I bet she's the only one paying rent. OP replied, yeah, he's never shown me his half of the rent going anywhere. Starting to think I was the only one paying anything. That's like so, what an awful feeling to feel like you're the only one paying. Someone said, not the asshole, but girl, I'd be drafting divorce papers in a Lisa Frank notebook because this is giving financial betrayal and mama's boy energy. Like, imagine being married, paying rent and finding out you're the tenant in your own damn marriage. This man let you roommate his investment property without telling you. That's not just shady. That's premeditated. Yes. You didn't marry a husband. You married a landlord with benefits. Ooh. Lastly, lastly, someone said. We should get her on the show, that comment. Like that. That was good. Damn. Someone said, as far as I can tell, she can claim she's been paying for maintenance on the home this whole time. So that entitles her to equity in the home. They're married and since she's been paying this money, she can demonstrate that it's a shared marital asset. She should get a lawyer and get her half of the house. 100%. If she's paying this mortgage, she is involved in this house and it's not just the mother anymore. That's crazy. And it is total boy mom energy to just like be making this kind of partnership and deal with your mom when you are married and like not letting your partner in on it. It's just like, like it just confuses me. She found out, she found out via the mom saying stuff too. At a barbecue? Yeah. Like what were they serving? No, this is. What were they serving? That's a very. I need to know. It's a very deliberate plan. This was, this was evil. Yeah. Ooh. That's bad. I hate that. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. There's no update on that. It was very recent. So sorry. It's cause they're in a courtroom. Hopefully. I hope so. They're too busy to update. Yeah. Next story. If a cyber attack hit this week, would you cope or scramble?

Am I the Asshole for telling my best friend she can't do her adult content at my house? Woo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo. We need to watch this content. My best friend was recently kicked out of where she was living and asked if she could stay with me in this emergency situation as she had nowhere else to go right now. I instantly said yes, we moved all her furniture and bigger things into a storage unit and she brought a few suitcases to my place. I'll be honest, at the time I really wasn't thinking about her work situation. I knew her job was only fans, that's what she did for a living, that's how she made her money and I've never judged her for that. However, the following day after she moved in, I took my daughter to school and came home to do my own work. I work from home. She wandered into my kitchen at like 12pm and told me she had some videos she needed to make. I instantly knew what she meant by that and I said well, I mean, are you going to be quiet during these videos? She laughed and said no, but you're my best friend so I don't mind if you hear me. To which I responded with, I mind if I hear you, I'm not going to lie, I don't feel comfortable with you making those videos in my house. You can take your pics and stuff though, granted you don't do it while my daughter is home. She got a little snippy and upset with me and told me that making custom request videos was how she made the majority of her money and she had a bunch of requests that she needed to do. I told her again that I don't feel comfortable with that specifically. She told me to wear headphones. I said I do wear headphones because I have pretty much constant work calls throughout my day and I can't have you moaning and screaming in the background. I ended up saying if you can be quiet, then you can while I'm here working and again, as long as you're not doing it when my daughter is home. She told me she won't be able to be quiet because that's not what they, her clients, so I told her I'm sorry girl, no, I can't have that. She's now a little pissed off at me because I'm basically stopping her from making decent coin while she'll be staying with me until she finds a new place and that she has nowhere else to go to do it. I feel bad, but I think my feelings and reasons are justified. Am I the asshole? I think it's her home. That seems like a very reasonable request. That's tough. She's already doing so much for this friend. Totally. It's like, hey, I clearly very quickly was willing to shelter you in this time of need, but no, I don't feel comfortable with this. Totally. That's a tough thing. It would maybe be a tad more nuanced, but there's a kid involved as well, which I think is where it becomes a little more defined for me. It didn't seem like she was putting too much thought into that. It seemed like she was, like, OP seems like there's a little bit of compromise. She's saying like, if you can be quiet, you can take your pictures, you can do this, but she's not really being like, okay, well, can we come up with a schedule? The OP's not even like judging her. The OP's just saying, hey, I don't judge you for what you do. I just don't feel comfortable with that going on in my home. Totally. It's like, okay, cool. Yeah. That's just, it's unfortunate for her friend because that's her job. Right. So she needs some place to do it. But it's also like another, like her job is being also a mother and your kids in the house. You know what I mean? That's like a, that's a job that takes over your house too. And like, and that is, if she doesn't want her kid near that, I think she's allowed to. Like to me, the motherhood of it all kind of trumps it all. Yeah. It's really tricky. It is. It is. But as long as she's going to be at this house, like, I feel like the most, the most accommodating you could do is be like, my daughter and I will be out of the house from this hour to this hour. You can do it then. Yeah. But you can't do it when we're home. Like I feel like that's reasonable. I'm also confused too, because it's like, if she's saying, right, in her words, she's making decent coin, like there has to be some other place that she could also invest some of that money in order to have a private space to do that, to have the best performance possible and make more money. No? Yeah. I mean, I don't know. I don't, we don't know how much money she has or anything because like my, my head went to like, can you not go rent like a hotel room or something to like do this in? Like are you making enough money that that's possible? Yeah. But use the storage unit. It's also like how long, it's also like how long she's at their place. Because if it's like, hey, if we're talking like a week or two, it's like, hey, I'm sorry, like for this two weeks, this is the situation. Yeah. It's months. It's like, then this is not going to work out. Totally. She's also, she's not gone. Like she's on work calls. So like she is talking to people on her laptop probably like that's not comfortable to have totally. Yeah. If that gets overheard, like what do you, what do you do? Right. Because then that affects her job. Yeah. And it's that kind of like understanding that I just don't think they are both having together right now. No, no, it's just ultimately it's her place. Like it's her rules. Yeah. The verdict was not the asshole comments, not the asshole. She needed help and you're helping her. She's disrespecting your house rules. If she really makes so much coin doing it, she can easily get a hotel room. Someone else said she needs to check into a cheap motel and do her content. She can afford it. OP said she can definitely afford it. Yeah. I'm sure there's things she can do, but she's being a little snippy with me and doesn't understand why I care. If she can afford a hotel room or a motel room, then it's like, dude, do that. Yeah. She needs to go and do it and not worry about the person that you're living with. I feel like that also just subtracts points that she's being snippy about it. It's just kind of like, yeah, this person has housed you and taken you in. Yeah. It has to be some sort of understanding of like, I totally understand. I'm not going to try to be in your hair, but instead it seems like she's almost taking advantage of that generosity. Yeah. Someone else said if she has money and a job, why couldn't she find a hotel to stay in? She says she claims she won't be able to do her videos in a hotel room because she'll probably get complaints. She said she didn't think I'd care. Okay. So you'd get complaints in a hotel, but not. Yeah. So it's like, she's talking about being very loud. Yeah. Like if it's so loud that you're going to get complaints in a hotel, I mean, this is extreme. Yeah. It's like, then where do you go? I'm really going back to the storage unit. I'm like, nobody's in there. Yeah. You're really, yeah. You're going to see Rasha and your storage unit. For the storage unit, not for the only friend. Oh yeah. Just clear that. It's just going, I just keep going back to how great storage units are and how we're underutilizing them. Yes. Update, small little update. Oh, she's gone. She finally listened and has booked a hotel room for the night just so she can go and get these requests that she has built up done. She's let her subs and clients know that she's not going to be taking requests until she's settled in a new place. She's also just told me that she thinks she found a new place to rent and she's now starting the process of that problem solved. Done deal. Done deal. Yeah. Great. Yeah. There you go. There you go. And there's no links or anything. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, dude. I just want to know, you know. For sure. Is anybody hot? Okay. Our next story. This comes from Two Hot Takes. Shout out to Morgan over at Two Hot Takes. Love Morgan. I think my roommate may be poisoning me. It's back to the cheese. I am a 25 year old woman and I live in Seattle. I just moved here a few months ago from New York City because of my dream job and I was so excited. I work as a data analyst and I make a very comfortable living. It felt like my life was finally all starting to fall into place. The only thing I needed was a place to live. I looked to Facebook because I figured that might be the best place to find a roommate. I found this girl. Let's call her Kate, 26 year old woman. And she seemed perfect. She said that she and her boyfriend, 29 year old man, were in a two bedroom apartment that was very spacious in a great location and were looking for someone to rent the room. She said she was a 7th grade English teacher and her boyfriend was a physical therapist. All her interests and hobbies seemed to align perfectly with mine, so I agreed to live with them. I moved in one month after initially finding each other and everything started off great. Kate and I were friendly and had good conversations when we would interact. One day however, I got home and she seemed to be in a very bad mood. I asked her about it and she ignored me and walked into her room. I didn't think anything of it, but then I received a text from her that read, I know you want to fuck my boyfriend. And that's all she wrote. And that's all she wrote? That's all she wrote. I was very confused because that was completely untrue. I have been cheated on in the past and know how devastating it is, so I would never want to inflict that pain onto someone else. There were more texts exchanged and everything seemed to be good, but when I saw her in person she continued to act weird, but I brushed it off. The next day however, she began to act very nice and sweet, even offering me a smoothie because she knew I was too busy in the mornings to make breakfast. I accepted and went about my day. The smoothies continued every morning and I just thought she was being nice. Now I am experiencing some symptoms and I am a bit scared. My hair has started to fall out and my hormones have been all over the place. I have developed some weird stomach issues and I get headaches all the time now. This is all new to me. It may be that the move and all this change is affecting my health, but it does seem to have started around when the smoothies did. I don't know how to catch her and see if I'm right and I don't want to seem rude and stop accepting the smoothies if I'm wrong. I don't know what to do. I need some advice. This is literally an episode of Make It or Break It. They literally, she poisons her with smoothies. Don't have the smoothies. Go to Trumpet, she's doing it. Oh no. The smoothie. You're doing it for Make It or Break It? No. Because they were gymnasts. Okay. No, because they were gymnasts. But this is where they got the idea. And these are roommates. She's no, they were roommates. They were roommates. Bro, stop drinking the smoothies. Just stop drinking the smoothies. Just do something else. You take the smoothie, you go outside, you dump it out. I think the smoothies are poison, but I don't want to be rude. I can't criticize her. I'm like, that's also me. That would be me. You take the smoothie and then you go to a poison tester and you say, what is the content in here? I've seen the top comment says that. Top comment says, please see a doctor ASAP. Take the smoothie with you. Yep. Or go to the hospital. Again, take the smoothie with you. Please do this now, not later. In all seriousness, the hair loss is concerning. Hair loss accompanied by other symptoms you're describing all point to heavy metal poisoning. I'd rather read an update from you than hear about you on one of my true crime podcasts. Oh my God. All because she just wants to fuck her boyfriend. Dude. She's like, all because I walked in on him in my underwear and bathrobe and said, hey. This is out of control. That is insane. Oh, Pete responded to that saying, wow, I didn't realize that they would be able to test it at the hospital. That is 100% what I will do. I also do not want to be on a true crime podcast. Thank you very much. This is beyond helpful for me. Holy shit, bro. Update, update, update. I'm going back. I'm just, because we didn't talk much about it after. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, right, right. This is scary. She doesn't know these people that well. She went in suddenly one day. It's just like, just leaves texts. I know you want to fuck my boyfriend. Yeah. We're seeing the flip of the other one where it was obvious that the roommate did want to fuck the boyfriend. Now you have this suspicious element. This is the other POV. And now it's suddenly smoothies, but hair falling out. Yeah. This is what people read and hear about, and then they're like, okay, I'm not doing the random roommate route anymore. This is what makes people not want to know. Don't look on Facebook Marketplace. Right. But also there's so many success stories, and you have normal people, but then you have situations like this. So I never really realized that the word movie is in smoothie. No it's not. No it's not. Smoothie is movie. Smooth with an M. No. O-I-V-E. They're literally, they're so different. You think a smoothie is, you think smoothie is spelled S-M-O-V-I-E. No, no, no, I just think smooth, I think the word smoothie is in, I think the word movie is in smoothie. But it's not. But it's literally not. All right. There's an M and there's an O, and that's about it. I like how we've read, we've read some unhinged stories, but the comments are all going to be about this now. They're going to be like, I see it. No, Angela's right. There was a duck there, and movie is smoothie. What? Sorry, it's been a long day. Yeah. But I'm going to focus now. A special day today. We have filmed eight videos today. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Another comment said, in addition to what everyone else has said about getting the smoothie and your blood tested, I would also suggest that you keep accepting the smoothies to go and then dump them in the trash once you're away from the house. If she is crazy enough to try to poison you like this, you don't want to tip her off that you're on to her. Yeah. Who knows what else she might try instead. Also, even if the smoothie and your blood tests come back normal, I would still continue accepting the smoothies to go and dumping them just in case. If nothing else, this will at least help you identify if they are the cause of your symptoms, whether from poisoning or something else or not. Lastly, someone said, I'd do a hidden camera in the kitchen where she's making the smoothies. I think getting them tested, like if these smoothies have heavy metal poisoning in them. The health care workers will do. Yeah. This is why I have these shiny silver smoothies that she's getting. Oh my gosh. Okay. At the same time, start packing, right? She should be on her way out anyway. I feel like regardless of the poisoning, the test. I'd be getting out. I'd be getting out. Oh yeah. That text happens. I'm like, I'm going to find new roommates. Yeah. You're right. You're right. Which is so interesting too. That's a whole element on its own that I feel like we can touch on is roommates, yes, but also living with a couple. I feel like so many people have those experiences. It's dangerous. So I have a lot of feelings. I know she's probably in a tough situation. Moving sucks. Yeah. It's expensive. It's hard. We don't know her financial situation. But in this situation, you think your life is on the line. You think this person, let's be clear, you think this person might be trying to kill you. That's the situation where I'm like, you need to get out. Get out. Get out. For your own life. Get out. And sometimes in those scenarios, you're like, that couldn't be happening, could it? Sure. It sounds insane. And we're grateful for Reddit because sometimes people will say something like, this is just a little insane or is it? And then everyone's like, go to the hospital. Check it out. Yeah. Look, at least remove the possibility. Here's the thing. It sounds unreal because it is in normal day to day life. But at the end of the day, people do poison other people. It does happen. Is it rare? Yeah. But can it happen? Yeah. Yes. I mean, people will say, well, this only happens in true crime podcasts. Those true crime podcasts get their content from someone. Well, I also feel like it's quite rare already that this roommate has texted you something so abrupt. That is a full on declaration of war. Yeah. Like that. And I feel like, again, that maybe it isn't like super, it's not as rare as like somebody trying to poison you. But if it's going down that way, I don't think it is insane to draw the link between somebody saying this crazy accusation and then them trying to do something to hurt you. Update. What do we think happened? I think there was something in this movie. Oh my fucking god. Hair loss? There had to have been. Thank you to all that have expressed concerns for me and my safety. I really appreciate all the advice I received as well. I want to keep this brief as this experience has been traumatic. I took the advice to go to the hospital and did just that. I went to the hospital the day after posting and brought along the smoothie. They told me that they were unable to test the smoothie at this time, but they did give me a blood test as everything would still show up there. This would also indicate what is happening in my body and why I might be experiencing these symptoms. To make a long story short, it turns out my roommate was adding some sort of creatine or protein powder into the smoothies because she wanted me to bulk up so I was no longer seen as desirable to her boyfriend. I told her about what happened at the hospital and she told me everything. That is what was causing my headaches, stomach issues and potentially the hair loss because I'm apparently allergic to it. So technically she was not poisoning me, just trying to make me bulky. So she just tried to make her buff. Awesome. This however is not the traumatic part. While the doctors were giving me all the blood tests, they found that I have leukemia. This news has been hard for me to deal with now because of my new circumstances I will be moving back home to be around family as I go through treatment. No, this was not at all how I expected this to turn out but maybe in a way it's a good thing. I'm not really sure but I know I'm going to be okay in the end. Thank you to everyone again for the support and concern for my well-being. Holy shit. Yeah. I'm hoping based on her comment but maybe in a way it's a good thing. I'm not really sure but I know I'm going to be okay in the end. Yeah. Hopefully that has got caught early on. I don't know. I'm not a doctor. Yeah. I know it's awful, cancers, terrible. Is that what the hair loss, all those symptoms were? She's saying all the symptoms, so this is actually a flip and this is wild. It sounds like most of her symptoms came from the allergy. Yeah. But she went and got her blood tested because of what this allergy and the smoothie was doing to her and then it turns out she had leukemia. Right. That didn't have any symptoms as far as I'm understanding from the story. Right, right. She was actually all unbelievably lucky. Yeah. That she went to the hospital at that time. That she got her blood tested when she wouldn't otherwise. Which is so wild to think about. I don't know much about cancer but I do know that it can really go undetected for a long time. It doesn't necessarily cause symptoms. It takes a long time for people in our healthcare system to get their blood tested. You need like, it takes a lot. So like, her saying like, I think I have metal or OP saying that I think I have metal poisoning is like, okay, let's test your blood. Yeah. For sure. So if this hadn't have happened, like she would not have known. Symptoms of other things. That's wild. My heart goes out for them. Wow. Yeah. I hope everything turned out okay. And also like, what an old 90s movie way to sabotage someone. Like what is this fucking mean girls? I just think that's so ridiculous of a way to like sabotage someone. Right. It's quite childish actually to be like, I'm going to make you bulk up and that's what's going to make my boyfriend not attracted to you. She's like, you're undesirable? Yeah. That's just wrong. No. Yeah. She needed to move out anyways because that's still. I'm really happy she's out of this. It is still technically like putting stuff in their food, not telling them which is very much a crossing boundary. Incredibly. I do think it's hilarious of all the choices. It's like, haha, I'm making you stronger. No, literally she's like, I'm putting protein in your smoothies. How dare you. Literally. Whoa. Also like straight up, like I don't know how, I think she thinks creatine works in ways that creatine does not work. Definitely. Like it's not going to change you like that. In this situation, I'm glad everything worked like this to get her there to testing her blood. Yeah. Yeah. Gosh. Poor thing. That's hard. Okay. Our final story. Angela, you're going to love this one. I was convinced that he has infinite garlic powder. Oh. I just, garlic. That was really funny. Yeah. No, but I love garlic. Is it? Yeah, garlic's incredible. I don't know. I just garlic, I saw garlic powder and I was like, you're probably like, she's a vampire. Vampires hate garlic. It's not true. It's not true. Which is why you hate this story. It's not true. If anyone was, if anyone on the cast was a vampire. It'd be you, Arasha. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Okay. So this story came from true off my chest. I've been living with my roommate for a little over two years. Early on, I noticed that he really liked putting garlic powder on just about everything. Yeah. We each have our own separate bottles of garlic powder. His is medium sized and the one I buy is the size of a garlic powder you'd find in a restaurant kitchen. One day I noticed that his garlic powder was about halfway empty. So I decided to play a little silent prank. Once about every week or so for the past two years when my roommate wasn't home, I would put just enough garlic powder from my bottle into his bottle right up to about the halfway point so that he would never run out of garlic powder. I also consciously store my garlic powder at the back of my section in our pantry so that he never happens to notice how much garlic powder I have on hand. Yesterday after all this time, he passingly said out loud, I don't understand how this garlic powder has lasted so long. I think I have infinite garlic powder. Needless to say, it took a lot to contain my composure. But I didn't even acknowledge what he said even in the slightest. Now the problem is that we both have to move out by mid-October because our landlord is selling the apartment and we're both going our separate ways. I really want to keep this secret to myself because one, I'd hate to spoil the magic and two, I think I'd come off as pretty weird because who does something like that really. But after vigorously thinking it through and weighing my options, I decided that I have to tell him the truth and break the news to him about his magical bottle of garlic powder. I'd hate for him to run out at his next apartment and start questioning reality itself so I think it'd be best if I just make the heartbreak quick, easy, and direct. So yeah, wish me luck. Oh my gosh. That is so, that's a perfect prank. Perfect prank. Perfect prank. So wholesome. It's like a punch up prank. Yeah. Yeah, that's because it's a generous prank. Yes. I love that. I do love pranks that are like a little bit at a time. Yeah. Like I've heard of people doing things where like they just slowly move someone's desk just a little bit every day. Yes. Until it's across the room. That makes me laugh so hard. Like those are funny because for one, they're harmless. Yes. But two, it's just like, especially this, it's like, yeah, you're kind of doing, you're giving them a gift, but it's something nobody would expect. This is so perfect. Because also garlic powder, garlic powder is like really cheap too. It's like, it's just something you don't think about that much. Totally. And you're not expecting someone to put just a little bit. It's sweet. It's very funny. That's a love like the moment he has two himself or he's like, I think I have unlimited garlic powder. It's wholesome. It's like an even Stevens episode. I love that it was like in passing. Just like, yeah, I think I have infinite garlic powder. I love that. Like he believes in magic, but he's kind of like nonchalant about it. It's like, yeah, I guess magic exists because this just doesn't run out. I guess my luck is within my garlic powder. And meanwhile, this guy's like cracking up back there. It's so funny. And now they have to part ways. I know. And his garlic powder is going to run out. I know. And I love that he's taking it so seriously. He's like, I have to go break his heart. And the guy's going to be like, oh, it's cool, man. I can just go buy some garlic powder. So funny. I think I have infinite garlic powder and I know you want to fuck my boyfriend. Okay. Okay. Update. All right. Comments. Someone said, can you be my roommate next? Someone said, I would laugh my ass off if I was the friend. I think it's a brilliant prank. Someone said, but nobody got hurt or humiliated or assaulted slash sarcastic slash S. As Spencer would say. Kid name S. Kid name slash S. Spencer says slash S all the time. He does. Slash Jen. Have you never seen this? I have. You've lost that. You've lost me. You don't know slash, you're Gen Z, dude. I am not. Slash S. Wait, am I? Yeah. Yeah, you are. You must know this. You're supposed to know. You need to know slash S, dude. No, I don't. Or is that like millennial? I feel like it's pretty Gen Z. Spencer's going around saying that it's millennial. It's what people do on the internet to like establish if their comment is sarcastic or serious or not. Slash S. Slash S. Because sarcasm's hard to read sometimes on the internet. Totally. Someone said please don't tell him. This needs to be something he occasionally mentions to people throughout his life. I mean, you'll never really see it play out, but just knowing that any time he cooks for or with somebody, he'll probably mention the time he had a magical bottle of garlic powder would make it all worth it to me. It's rare that as adults, we experience something that makes us feel like magic is real. You have the opportunity to make a grown man believe in magic and to me, that is priceless. Don't ruin this for him or for me for that matter. OP said, oh man, this is my favorite comment. And now you put me in a jam. Now I don't know what to do. This is where you can make the prank really mean. Is he needs to like meet up with him eventually. He's like, yeah, that garlic powder eventually ran out. It's like, oh, then you must have done something really bad. Like make him think that he made magic die out. Or I would write a really small little note. Be like, it's been me the whole time. Love, Zach. Roll it up, put it in the garlic powder. So then when he went empty. Or you write Santa. Italian Santa. Or hear me out. You say from a Santa. Santa Claus. Or hear me out. You put creatine in the garlic powder. There you go. Make him buff. Yes. Make him huge and hope he's allergic. That's insane. That's insane. Cut that part. Cut that part. OK, update. He told him they cried and kissed. Thanks for all the positive feedback. And for the great advice, I've been reading the comments and debating on what to do all day. I finally decided that I'm going to keep a close eye on things when he's packing and try to steal his garlic powder so that it goes missing. What? I have to do what I can to keep the legend of the magical garlic powder bottle alive. And this is the only surefire way to do that. I hope everything goes according to plan. I'm fine with it. Wait, are we stealing it now? He's stealing half a bottle of garlic powder so that the guy keeps believing in the magic. But he's given him back so much garlic powder that I feel like they can call it even. He's not stealing. He's like, man, my garlic powder disappeared. It's like it had to find someone else who was in need of it. Damn. And at the beginning, we heard. And you no longer need it. We heard that he loves garlic powder on everything, right? Yeah, he put garlic. He literally truly putting it on everything. He's one of those chefs. On his eggs. OK, what I want OP to do, because he is stealing his garlic powder, is he steals it. He's like, oh, it's gone. He's like, then he should just buy him another bottle and then be like, hey, I hope this one's magical for you too. And it's not going to be. It's not going to be. But you know. He's just like, here you go. I just love the idea of finding a $1.50 bottle of garlic powder at Ralph's. And being like, I think it's magic. I think? I think it's magic, dude. This has otherworldly powers. Well, it sounds like that guy needs the restaurant-sized garlic powder. They need to just switch. I know, man. Yeah. Oh, gosh, this is so funny. I love it. We should do something like that. We should. That's a great prank. And some small. Wait, yeah. Who could we get with that? I don't know. We use this garlic powder. Or just like something like. I don't know. We got to figure out some way. We'll figure it out. Yeah. We'll think of something. OK. I mean, hey, your next prank needs to be just a very generous kind prank. It'd be great if it was generous. It would be so cool. Come on out, Angela's mom. Yeah. All right. That is it. Yay. There's all our stories. Thank you both for being here. Thank you for having us. Should we all move in together? No. All right. Yay. Who wants smoothies? Yay. Just kidding. Just kidding. That's the new prank. Who wants garlic powder? Yes. Garlic powder smoothies. Ew. But too bad they're in my lock box. Oh, shit. And what's your birthday? That's crazy. What's your favorite number? Yeah. Anyways, thank you both for being here. Thank you. Thank you for watching.
