Hello, and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's episode is a special one. We are doing a special birthday episode for our good friend Spencer Agnew.
Spencer Agnew
And it's also my birthday.
Shane
And it's also my birthday.
Amanda
Happy birthday, old chap.
Shane
So I'm here with Spencer and Amanda. Thank you for being here.
Amanda
Of course. His number one favorite, right?
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Shane
Yeah, it's fair.
Amanda
Great.
Shane
So, Spencer, because it's your birthday, we decided to give you the gift that everyone wants on their birthday. Curated Reddit stories just for you.
Amanda
So when we hear these Reddit stories, I'm gonna think Spencer really likes this story.
Shane
Yeah, I'm very curious. What qualifies as a Spencer Agnew themed story. Kiana picked a lot of these, and Kiana knows you very well.
Amanda
You're effed.
Shane
So we'll see. I wonder how we'll have to piece together why? It's a Spencer story.
Spencer Agnew
I was asked, like, hey, are there any stories you would want to have read like, that you guys could talk about? And all the ones I was, like, thinking of were, like, these. All these ones from, like, 2011 or 2012 that were just like, they're horrendous.
Shane
Oh.
Spencer Agnew
And I think, like, people who know these classics, like, will know these classics, but it's just like. It's truly like, they're not even funny.
Shane
People. Forget the Internet.
Amanda
Do we have a classic in here?
Spencer Agnew
I don't think we have any of the. Like, the kid with the broken arms.
Amanda
Too dark.
Spencer Agnew
Too dark.
Shane
The dark ages of oh, I won't even know.
Spencer Agnew
Or the dog one.
Shane
I know what you're talking about.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, yeah.
Shane
No, you're talking about nightmare fuel zones. These are like, creepypastas. But they're real. No, the Internet used to be somehow, in many ways, worse.
Amanda
Really?
Shane
I have stories that you would read. Were worse.
Spencer Agnew
We fixed Reddit.
Amanda
You guys fixed Reddit. Oh, okay, good.
Shane
It's give and take.
Amanda
For my birthday, I want the coconut story and the boy with no arms.
Shane
No, you don't. No, you don't. The boy with broken arms won his.
Spencer Agnew
No, I want that one.
Amanda
No, I want a birthday one.
Shane
Spencer, before we started filming, we were talking about your birthday and you were talking about that you think you might go bald.
Amanda
You had a nightmare.
Spencer Agnew
I had a nightmare where I was going bald. I was in an elevator and I kept trying to go up and the elevator was going down and I didn't.
Shane
Know my room key, and you were.
Spencer Agnew
Going bald and I was going bald. Every time I had less and less hair. You were going to hell and I was going to hell. Yeah. And then I woke up and I couldn't remember how old I was.
Amanda
I was like.
Spencer Agnew
Cause I was like, oh, it's my birthday episode. And I was like, how old am I? And I think I'm gonna be 34.
Shane
Wow.
Amanda
Wow.
Shane
Pretty cool.
Amanda
That's really cool.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
You also have so much hair.
Spencer Agnew
I really think it could go. Would you guys still love me?
Amanda
Of course.
Shane
Yeah, man.
Amanda
Wait, I remember when I first worked here, you had like a shaved head. I'm pretty sure.
Spencer Agnew
What'd you think?
Shane
It looked really good.
Amanda
I loved it.
Spencer Agnew
Thank you.
Amanda
But it was dyed. It was dyed. Like blonde, right?
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
I loved it. So if you wanna go that way.
Shane
I think the move is if you go bald, you just grow a big beard.
Spencer Agnew
True. I mean, like, I think I as a big beard.
Amanda
I don't know.
Spencer Agnew
Growing up, I kind of wanted like the receding hairline, like, you know. Cause like, all the, like, kind of what Gog is doing.
Amanda
It was cool.
Spencer Agnew
It was just like, you know, like Jack Nickelson or all those, like. I was like, why isn't my hair like that? Like, I was like, oh, they're.
Shane
Well, you're a child.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
I think his hair looked like that when he was young.
Shane
Jack Nicholson.
Amanda
No.
Spencer Agnew
Walton Goggins.
Amanda
Yes.
Shane
Yeah, I think he's just always been like that.
Amanda
Yeah. And it's probably the same with Jack Nicholson, actually.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
So it's not in the cards for you. Cause you got a full head hair. Sorry, man.
Spencer Agnew
Could you go heel?
Amanda
You got hair.
Shane
Sorry, dude.
Spencer Agnew
Sorry, man.
Amanda
I can't wait to read this Reddit story about Spencer.
Shane
Okay, here are some Spencer themed stories. First one comes from. Am I the asshole? Am I the asshole for not being thrilled about my girlfriend's birthday gift to me? In parentheses, lingerie.
Amanda
This is so you. This is so you, man.
Spencer Agnew
I don't know how much I want to dox myself. Like, read the story. Then I'll talk about my thong.
Amanda
Just kidding.
Shane
Girlfriend and I have been dating for a year and we are both 20. There's not much story here. Last weekend was my birthday. My girlfriend came over and said her present was a surprise. She went into another room and came out in a lingerie set that she said was new. She looked hot. We fooled around. That's that.
Amanda
Okay, Sky.
Shane
Afterwards, she asked what I thought of my present. I was a bit confused. And this is when she inferred that the lingerie was my present. This rubbed me wrong. And it felt like a lazy experience. Right after she rubbed him.
Spencer Agnew
Right.
Amanda
I was just waiting.
Shane
We knew it was coming. Waiting. This rubbed me wrong. And it felt like a lazy excuse for a gift from someone I've been dating for a year. To me, just, she bought something for herself and said it was a gift to me. I might have been an asshole for this comment. So if we break up, do I get to keep that and give it to whoever I date next?
Amanda
I hate? Is this you?
Spencer Agnew
I would fucking never say that.
Amanda
I know you wouldn't. You wouldn't.
Shane
He says this comment rubbed her the wrong way and she called me an asshole. I'm also upset because I took her out to a fancy dinner for her birthday that cost over $200.
Amanda
That.
Shane
That's no small cost for a 20 year old college student without a job. Oh my God, dude.
Amanda
Okay, okay.
Spencer Agnew
First of all. Not the answer.
Shane
First of all.
Spencer Agnew
King. Yeah, I've just, I've never been one for like lingerie, if that makes sense. Like, I hate to be like, oh, I've been surprised, but it's always just like, this is gonna be the most m' lady thing I've ever said. But it's kinda just like, dude, if it's like a big T shirt, like, I don't care, like as long as, like you're cozy. Like, I've never been like, oh, yeah, this is like, yeah, like lingerie. It feels like, I don't know, not really appealing to me. That's fair.
Shane
That's okay.
Spencer Agnew
But like the way he handled this was like, well.
Shane
Cause he. You can also. If it's not for you, that's fine. But you can also appreciate the effort that went into.
Amanda
Yeah, it was an experience. Yeah, that's what she gave him.
Shane
I can't imagine any guy he talks to being like, yeah, I'm on your side, bro. It's like, no, this is.
Amanda
Yeah, can I keep. Can I keep that lingerie and then give it to someone else? It's like the lingerie isn't for you to keep. It's for you to see your girlfriend in a hot like.
Spencer Agnew
And if she feels hot in it, then like that, like good. Like, then encourage that.
Amanda
Yeah, it'll happen again. For you, maybe. Not for this guy.
Shane
That's probably the worst. It's one of the worst things he could have said.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Shane
I don't know how you say something so bad.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah. For him to like try and turn that on her.
Amanda
So. So you were disappointed.
Spencer Agnew
So disappointed's a, like, disappointed's a Strong word.
Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer Agnew
I just don't like it. Doesn't do much for me.
Amanda
Right. That's fine. But you wouldn't say that. You'd be like, that's great. Thank you.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah. In that inflection, in that context, hey, that's awesome.
Shane
Plenty of times for your birthday, you get gifts that you're not actually a fan of, but you still can appreciate that someone went out of their way. And this was just so unappreciative.
Amanda
I thought this story was gonna go. That she gave him lingerie and Wanderer. I was like, whoa, cool.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Shane
Also, horrible thing to say of. And can I give it to whoever I date next? He is inferring that they're gonna break up and that he's gonna date.
Amanda
That's crazy. You bought her the $200 dinner and also, like, buy me the dinner. Don't remind me. Like, I didn't know there were strings attached to this dinner. Like, you wanna buy me a $200 dinner, that's on you. But don't remind me of.
Spencer Agnew
It's expensive, too.
Shane
I'm pretty sure it could be really expensive.
Amanda
It could be over $100.
Spencer Agnew
And it's multiple use, unlike a dinner. And also, it's unlike leftovers. Sorry.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
My bad. I also. This is another situation where I just kind of don't like the guy based on how he's writing. Cause he's just like, she looked hot. We fooled around. That's that. I'm like, okay, buddy. All right, man.
Spencer Agnew
Whenever I hear fooled around, like, I don't think of sex. I feel like they, like, they, like.
Amanda
Tumbled down the stairs.
Spencer Agnew
I think they, like, just made out. They did, like, hand stuff.
Shane
Okay.
Spencer Agnew
Like, fooling around is like, hand stuff.
Shane
Oh, interesting.
Amanda
It's like this.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I feel like fooled around.
Shane
Could just cover any variation.
Spencer Agnew
I know. But if it's like, hey, what if we fool around? Like, I don't know.
Amanda
It feels very old school.
Shane
It's very old school. It's very 50s sounding to me.
Spencer Agnew
Fooled around and fell in love.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Don't sing it.
Shane
It happens.
Spencer Agnew
I didn't.
Shane
I also think it's sad whenever people just quantify gifts based on, like, well, I got you a $200 gift. You owe me.
Amanda
It's like, don't get me gifts. This is why I don't like gifts.
Spencer Agnew
Like, yes, I have a list of all the money I've ever spent on women.
Amanda
But that's so gross. Could you imagine? Do you?
Shane
No. Yeah. Keeping score is definitely a bad Move.
Spencer Agnew
The wallet keeps the score.
Shane
Comments, comments. Does it fit you? Do you think that's enough? Got his ass. Hey, man. Someone said, no one's the asshole, but it sounds like both of you could work on your communication. From her perspective, she might see being wrapped up in nice lingerie as thoughtful and intimate gifts, and many people would agree. However, it's clear that you have a different view, which is perfectly valid. Having expectations is normal, but the key is to communicate them clearly. That's the first step. Op said, I think it could be part of the present, but it being the whole thing seemed selfish and pretty thoughtless in my opinion. Okay, I'm not on board with that.
Amanda
Therapist Reddit commenters just crack me up. They're like, hey, guys, communication is key. And it's like, no, bitch, she was in lingerie. Okay? Just let her just. Hell yeah.
Shane
Objectively being murdered. Hey, let's communicate.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Someone said, dude, your girlfriend just gave you the five star treatment. Would you rather have a $25 Applebee's gift card? OP says, I disagree that I got a five star treatment. Having sex with your partner isn't a present.
Spencer Agnew
Whoa, it's get me out of here. I would say it's the greatest gift of all.
Amanda
Dude, you're lucky she's having sex with you.
Shane
Okay, so someone said, you're the asshole and a dumbass. Honestly, your girlfriend gave you an experience as your gift. Op said, how is it different than the experience I get daily outside of fabric placement? Okay, this guy needs to just be single.
Amanda
Sucks.
Shane
Someone says, I really don't see how your gift was any different to hers. Surely you guys eat together all the time, so going to a fancy restaurant is just upping the experience a few notches. She did the exact same thing for you with the lingerie. Nice. Lingerie can easily cost a few hundred dollars, and she probably spent a lot of time getting ready and and tried to make it a fun, special experience. Sexy lingerie is not something you really wear for yourself. You wear it for your partner. Your reaction to what she tried to do must have hurt her feelings a lot. Given your age, I think immaturity like that is probably forgivable, but given that she's the same age, I'm guessing she may have a similarly immature reaction. Hopefully you guys can make up, but I seriously doubt you'll be seeing lingerie on her again.
Amanda
Oh, no.
Shane
Yeah, I agree. I think a fancy dinner is very comparable because it's like, it's like a once interview. Oh, you also get to eat there yeah.
Spencer Agnew
You know you haven't bited my steak.
Amanda
I don't.
Spencer Agnew
That's crazy. I see it. Hey, good pick.
Shane
That's a good pick.
Spencer Agnew
Good pick, team.
Shane
It's a good pick.
Spencer Agnew
This is an experience for me, guys. This is my birthday present.
Amanda
I love Shane.
Spencer Agnew
I wanted Shane to come out and launch.
Amanda
Could you imagine.
Spencer Agnew
Fooling around?
Shane
And what did we answer? Fool around, that's that. Fooled around, that's that. Well, at the end we'll rate which one's the most Spencer of them all.
Amanda
Yeah. Okay.
Shane
That one's pretty Spencer. Pretty Spencer.
Amanda
This one feels low on Spencer's.
Shane
You think it's a lower like a 4 on the sponsor?
Spencer Agnew
I think there is Spencer within the story.
Amanda
There's Spencer within the story. Not enjoying the lingerie but not being a dick about it.
Shane
Exactly.
Spencer Agnew
Thank you.
Amanda
You're welcome.
Shane
Okay. Okay. Our next story is a. Today I fucked up.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, like a thing for me to do.
Shane
You do it all the time to know. Sorry.
Amanda
He felt that immediately.
Shane
Today I felt that. Okay. What? Stop.
Amanda
I can't handle it actually. That makes me feel so much anxiety. I was like, no one better talk. No one better talk.
Shane
Today I fucked up by buying a knockoff Lego set that my kids should not play with.
Spencer Agnew
Okay, okay, okay.
Shane
This is sounding. Spencer.
Amanda
What?
Shane
I have kids. My kids and I enjoy playing with Legos. Well, they like playing. I just like building cool stuff. We made a house, city, a zoo, etc. The other day I was browsing on an app known for cheap knockoffs. And because Legos are expensive, I often purchase the knockoff sets from said app. Of course, like all shopping apps, the algorithm shows me things I would be interested in based on things I've looked at before. And on this day it was showing me lots of cool block sets. There was a cool tree house, a little cafe, a park, and. And an awesome vintage motorhome. You know the kind 70s, tan, brown, orange and yellow. I loved it. I bought the not Lego motorhome and it was delivered today. I was so excited and as soon as dinner was over, I proceeded to build the motorhome with the help of one of my kids. Only one, because one is older now and doesn't often care to build anymore. And my youngest doesn't like the building part. Just playing with the things that I build. So here I was, happily putting together my awesome vintage motorhome. I get the frame done and then I start working on the inside. As I get further along, I notice that the inside of the motorhome does not look Like a normal motorhome. There's no bed, no table, and bench seats, no bathroom. There's a lot of jugs and crates and bottles, though. Now, I think it's important that I stop right here and explain something. I don't watch tv. I used to, but over the last decade, I have had trouble being able to just sit and get into a show or movie. I. I'm aware of the popular shows, but I couldn't tell you any details about them. Like Game of Thrones, everybody would talk about it. I have a general idea about what it's about, but I couldn't tell you specifics. Another show like this is Breaking Bad.
Spencer Agnew
I was gonna. This is my prediction.
Shane
Never saw it.
Spencer Agnew
They built the Winnebago.
Amanda
Yep.
Shane
I know it's about a drug dealer, but that's pretty much the extent of it. So back to tonight. I am looking at this strange motorhome and thinking, what the heck is wrong with this thing? And then I look at the box. The picture on the app I ordered it from didn't show the box. I didn't mention anything about the show or anything that would be telling. And to be honest, I didn't really pay any attention to the box. When I opened it. The box says Break Bad. That's when it hit me. Is this from that TV show Breaking Bad? Isn't that a show about a drug dealer? No, no, no, no, no, no. Please tell me I did not buy my kids a Lego set from a show about drug dealers. So I Googled Breaking Bad Motorhome. And, oh, my friends, if you watch the show, you no doubt know that it is much worse than that. So Google promptly displayed a picture of a 1986 Fleetwood Bounder that looked an awful lot like the one that I've been building this evening. And I read the description. The awesome vintage motorhome that I just built for my kids is the RV from Breaking Bad in which Walter White and Jesse Pinkman cooked methamphetamine. Yes, my friends, you read that, right? I bought my kids a Lego meth lab. Wow. Here it is. That looks awesome.
Spencer Agnew
That looks really cool.
Shane
We need to get this.
Amanda
I would love that.
Spencer Agnew
This is so. Wow.
Shane
And I can see on the inside. And they've got the blue meth in there. They've got the whole setup.
Amanda
There's nothing better than someone who writes, well, my friends.
Spencer Agnew
Well, my friends. And then, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Shane
Well, my friends, it says, break Bad rv.
Amanda
Just, like, don't tell the kids. Meth was cooked.
Shane
Just don't build the meth lab on the inside.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Shane
Keep it empty on the inside, per se.
Spencer Agnew
It's. Cause in the show, they used actual rock candy for the meth. Say it's rock candy.
Amanda
Oh, really? I love that.
Spencer Agnew
It's blue rock candy.
Shane
I think that's so fun. They must have been eating that all the time.
Spencer Agnew
I bet they were.
Amanda
Whoa. I love rock candy.
Spencer Agnew
Something Breaking Bad doesn't really do is like, explore. Well, it's definitely not the focus of the show is like.
Shane
It's not.
Spencer Agnew
It's not like methodistic.
Shane
The dealing part.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, yeah.
Shane
It's the cooking and dealing.
Amanda
I never saw Breaking Bad, and trust me, it's so. I know I need to, but I knew immediately. I was like, oh, this is definitely from Breaking Bad. Yeah, Break Bad.
Shane
It's the most famous rv.
Spencer Agnew
It's. Yeah.
Amanda
So did he stop building it?
Shane
I don't know what happened. I imagine he probably.
Spencer Agnew
I'm trying to remember the faded.
Shane
It's very easy to build it and not finish the inside.
Amanda
So cute.
Spencer Agnew
I'm trying to remember the fate of the RV in the show.
Shane
I don't remember. I think it's gone, like, by season one or season two. No.
Spencer Agnew
They definitely have it for a while.
Shane
Do they?
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
Do you love Breaking Bad? Is this by the story to you?
Spencer Agnew
It's probably my favorite show of all time.
Shane
It's a really. It is arguably the best.
Spencer Agnew
It's kind of the best show ever.
Shane
It's like Sopranos, the Wire, Breaking Bad. Right. That's what. Oh, shit.
Amanda
I guess I need to watch it.
Shane
Oh, you'd love it.
Spencer Agnew
It's so good. My flex. When I first moved out to la, it was when Breaking Bad was doing their big finale. It was the finale of Breaking Bad, and they had it at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and they drove the Winnebago RV out and the whole cast got out of the rv. It was crazy.
Shane
Damn.
Amanda
Hollywood Forever Cemetery movies are the best.
Shane
It's such a great show. And what I feel like doesn't get talked about a lot is it's. It's actually like a really, really dark comedy. It's so funny.
Spencer Agnew
Walter is just. He's the stupidest smart guy. Smart guy of all time. Like, it's just really funny. Look, I could sit here and talk about it all day.
Shane
Some of the best character arcs of all time.
Amanda
All right, I'll watch it. Is there an update?
Shane
No.
Spencer Agnew
His kids got addicted to methane.
Shane
Some comments. Now begins the fun project of taking out the meth lab parts and Restoring it to a normal motor home. Someone said, thought this was going to be a Today I fucked up and gave my kids lead poisoning by using cheaply manufactured things. Post someone said the six plus made me laugh way too hard. It does say. It says 8 plus on the box.
Spencer Agnew
We didn't even talk about the ramifications of LEGO dupes and stuff like that.
Shane
What are the ramifications of LEGO dupes?
Spencer Agnew
I mean, it's just like, I think you're getting what you're paying for. Ultimately with lego, it's a risk. Yeah. There's just certain things you. I think, I think you're gonna notice a huge difference in quality. Just like the way the plastics are they cool.
Shane
They're not actual lego. I wonder if it's not like people take Legos and curate their own box. So it's a different thing.
Amanda
Do you have a lot of Legos?
Shane
Oh, yeah, this dude. Legos.
Amanda
So your whole room is Lego. So you can't move too much or else it'll all fall.
Shane
What's your best LEGO set?
Spencer Agnew
I have, like all. They did like a Jurassic park series a couple years ago for the old movie and I want to build all those together. But what is it, the entrance or something they have? It's like the visitor center. It's like the inside of the visitor center.
Amanda
It's a lot Iconic scene.
Spencer Agnew
I'll do a Lego tour one day.
Amanda
Really?
Spencer Agnew
I could.
Amanda
I would love that.
Shane
If we ever have the space here at Smosh. It'd be so sick to build the Death Star.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
Is that what you want to do?
Spencer Agnew
Is that what you want to do?
Amanda
Where would we do that?
Shane
We'd need a lot of space and we'd need like a dozen people to build it. It's like massive.
Amanda
Hey, we could spend a whole week doing it.
Shane
Almost like Mr. Beast type video.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Can we build the Death Star in an hour?
Amanda
Oh, my God.
Spencer Agnew
That's what they tried to do in Return of the Jedi.
Shane
They tried. Yeah. Someone wrote a comment in the tone of those old Lego City ads. A man has overdosed on methamphetamine in LEGO City. Quick, build the activated charcoal and load it into the launcher in the all new meth lab RV LEGO set.
Amanda
This guy was so happy.
Shane
He was stunned.
Amanda
He was like, ah, I love it.
Shane
Should I voice record Redditors in the comments? If they can think of some reference.
Spencer Agnew
They're not a joke.
Shane
If they got a pun, that's what they're.
Amanda
Can you voice record in a Reddit comment? But could you Imagine it would be over.
Shane
No, they actually nobody would. Because anonymity is what they all crave.
Amanda
Okay.
Spencer Agnew
That's the other thing. I love the Lego boxes so much. So I end up not building a lot cause I just like having the box.
Amanda
You like having the box? Yeah.
Shane
Wow. Wow. Well, all right, our next story. My boyfriend, a 40 year old man, wants me 30 year old woman to only watch movies with him.
Spencer Agnew
Hi all.
Shane
I've been with my boyfriend for almost six years and he gets angry, upset anytime I want to watch a movie with someone else or friend or family to give some context. He loves movies. He watches everything from rom com action to drama. So I've respected his wishes and watched every movie he's wanted to watch with him for the past six years. I've turned down watching movies with friends and family numerous times simply because he wants to watch it with me first. I do love and enjoy watching movies in theaters with him. It's one of our favorite pastimes. But I think it's incredibly suffocating that he takes issue with me watching a single movie without him. For example, he's abroad in another country right now and a female friend invited me to a movie screening. Knowing that he would take issue with me going. I reached out to him to talk about it, but I'm starting to feel resentful. I have to do this to appease him or feel guilty for going. Even though he wouldn't be here to go with me anyway. He is not one to compromise. And frankly, he's never shown that he cares about how I feel about the matter. What do I do or say to him to improve the situation?
Amanda
Goodbye.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, literally, like, I love.
Amanda
I know you love movies.
Spencer Agnew
I love movies. I love watching movies with a partner.
Amanda
Yep.
Spencer Agnew
You know, it's one of life's great. Fooling around.
Shane
Fooling around, Watching around.
Amanda
Watching a movie.
Spencer Agnew
Fooling around and watching a movie.
Shane
Netflix and truly sit and watch the movie.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, Netflix and watch tonight. How about we try that? Eyes are on the movie.
Amanda
But you would never.
Shane
Oh God no.
Amanda
I also think you enjoy other people watching movies and having experiences and then telling you about it. Yeah. And like talking about the movie on their own. So you would never be like this, right?
Spencer Agnew
Right. Yeah. No, I mean that's like. Well, also having a partner who would only. It's like, hey, you can't do that without me. That's like suffocating. That would be like suffocating for. I don't see how that's not suffocating for him too. Where it's like, I want. Don't you want your partner to do stuff without you?
Shane
A lot of people don't. I guess not.
Amanda
That is insane to me, because I love watching movies with my partner. But there are friends that I love.
Spencer Agnew
You have, like, a whole movie group.
Amanda
I have a movie group. I have two different movie groups. I have one film wives movie group where it's five girls, and we talk the entire movie, and that's the only time I let it happen. And. And we cast each other in it. And I always play the guy who's a douchebag. And then I have two dude friends that we go see movies, and it's always like, the fucked up horror movies.
Shane
Nice.
Amanda
That we watch together, and that's the best. I would never be with someone who took that away from me.
Shane
No. I don't understand the concept of being like, you're not allowed ever. There's plenty of times where there's a specific movie where it's like, oh, we gotta steal this.
Spencer Agnew
Especially if you watch the series together. I get being upset. If they tell, hey, we've watched all the Mission Impossible movies together. And then everyone's coming out, it's like, oh, I'm seeing that with Blake. Blah, blah, blah. Like, I would be a lot.
Amanda
I agree. And series, like, if you're away, you kind of have an unspoken thing. If you started the series together.
Shane
Absolutely.
Amanda
And if you watch an episode without them, it kind of sucks.
Shane
It does suck. Yeah.
Amanda
But it's not like.
Spencer Agnew
I think it's like, you can. If you're like, hey, do you mind if I watch this without you and I'll rewatch it with you maybe?
Amanda
Yeah, yeah.
Spencer Agnew
Like. Cause I know some people are okay with rewatching stuff.
Shane
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Amanda
But this is.
Shane
This is a lot.
Spencer Agnew
I wonder what she wanted to see.
Amanda
Oh, yeah. With her friend.
Shane
This was posted two days ago, and we're in May right now. So this could be Final Destination. Could be Mission Impossible.
Amanda
What else would it be? It can't be Sinners.
Shane
It could be a lot of things. I mean, it could be any movie. She's saying, like, any movie.
Spencer Agnew
I'm saying, if Ethan Hunt asked you to trust him one last time, what would you say?
Amanda
I would say, absolutely. Let's go.
Shane
Also, though, like, you know, if you get invited to a screening that's such a cool opportunity, you don't want to take that away from someone. Like, if Courtney got invited to a really cool screening for a movie that I was stoked to see, I'd Be like, well, just go. And then like, no, it'd take me.
Spencer Agnew
Just go and take me. And I'll go, too.
Amanda
And I'll go.
Shane
Come on. Oh, it could be Lilo and Stitch.
Spencer Agnew
There's a million movies over. Irrelevant, no opinion discarded.
Shane
But I think it's sad that. That she's now in a place where she's like, oh, no, you shouldn't have. What? He thinks, like, you don't. You don't ever want to be in that place.
Amanda
Also, like, you need to watch movies with other people because it's a different vibe.
Spencer Agnew
Also, he's abroad. He's probably cheating on her.
Amanda
Yeah, exactly. He's sleeping with another person.
Shane
He's probably watching other movies.
Spencer Agnew
He's probably seeing other movies.
Shane
He's probably seeing French films.
Amanda
Oh, my God. He's watching, like, Before Sunset, your favorite series.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, he's probably watching Lilo and Stitch. I've never seen Lilo and Stitch.
Shane
Neither have I, really.
Spencer Agnew
We're older. We're older.
Shane
Leo and Stitch came out forever ago.
Spencer Agnew
We're wild.
Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer Agnew
And we were too old.
Amanda
Yeah, too old, Bud.
Shane
Spencer, I think you were, like, 12.
Amanda
No.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, I was too old, dude.
Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer Agnew
I was fooling around and falling in love.
Shane
Bunch of comments here. Are you positive that he is 40? Cause. No.
Amanda
Wait, what?
Shane
Someone said he's dating 10 years younger for a reason. Someone said, this is an absolutely bonkers rule. It's one thing to say that there's this very specific movie he wants to watch with you, which I think is reasonable, but he's way past that. Someone said, is this the only weirdly controlling, insecure thing about him, or are there others? Good question, because this is not a you thing to fix. There's nothing that you can say to him that will cause this particular idiosyncrasy of his to go away. Regardless of whether this is the only weird, controlling thing he does or not. You have a right to do things as an adult, and he doesn't have to like it. But if his reaction to things that he doesn't like is over the top, then that's a big problem. Still, if you haven't communicated how you're feeling about all of this to him, then he can't know and adjust accordingly. So the first step would be to say something like, I know you prefer it when we watch new movies together, but I'm feeling resentful about that because it means I don't have a choice about who I see movies with. Since you're away, I'm going to See a movie with my friend, and I need that to be okay. How he reacts to that will tell you a lot about how the next conversation with him needs to go.
Spencer Agnew
I like how. I like when Reddit advice is just like, say you're resentful to your partner. It's like, okay, like, maybe couch the language.
Amanda
Like, is there one therapist going around all the Reddit stores and going like, well, I've got to clock in and clock out.
Shane
Yeah. The problem is, like, what works in, like, the specific wording that works for one person may not work for another. I also. It's like, it sounds good when you're typing it out on Reddit. Yeah, Say that out loud.
Spencer Agnew
I'm feeling resentful when you.
Amanda
It's just.
Spencer Agnew
There's not.
Shane
There's a lot of, like. I don't think this fits in that category, but we've talked about, like, there's a lot of, like, living out fantasies of like. Well, this sounds right as I'm typing.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah. It's like, here's what you do in a perfect world where no one would, like, feel offended or anything. It's also like, no one would feel attacked.
Shane
The unfortunate thing with Reddit, with all of these stories, is like, we're hearing about a person through just a small little paragraph about a person we've never met before. You meet this guy and you might go, oh, don't ever say that.
Spencer Agnew
Maybe his parents died when watching a movie with someone else.
Shane
Yeah, I mean, look. But regardless, she has to set this boundary. And if he's not okay with that, then.
Amanda
Well, here's the thing. They've been together six years. She's been letting it go on for six years. This is gonna be really hard to set the boundary, especially when he's away. I guarantee he's gonna be like, who are you going to see at this movie? It's really hard to immediately set a boundary.
Shane
I think the most important part, though, of this comment is this. The only weird, controlling, insecure thing about him.
Spencer Agnew
Yes. Yeah.
Shane
I have a feeling this is part of many things.
Spencer Agnew
It's also music. Hey, so you didn't listen to anything on the ride into work today, did you?
Amanda
Yeah. Consume.
Shane
I wanna make sure. Hey, I'm out of town. Make sure you don't consume any media.
Amanda
I want it to be silent. That's such a weird form of control that he has over her, is that he doesn't want her to have any experiences without him. And yet he's fucking abroad with someone. With. Abroad?
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, abroad with a Broad abroad with abroad. So one time I was reading Reddit on my computer at work and Shane came over and grabbed the laptop and started. He was like. He's like, you can't read the. And he started reading. He started reading the stories to me. I was like, I have.
Shane
I have to read them.
Spencer Agnew
And he was like, I have to read these.
Amanda
That's really controlling. You can't control Spencer's experience.
Shane
I have to make sure that nobody in this office is reading anything.
Spencer Agnew
Hey, you made me. What was the word they used? I'm feeling resentful.
Amanda
He's feeling resentful right now and I'm his therapist.
Spencer Agnew
I never. Okay, so another. I always see like pictures on Twitter and Reddit of like people jumping around the couch in Reddit stories. I've never done that.
Amanda
Jumping around the couch.
Spencer Agnew
It'll be like, Tommy. He's like, on the wall.
Shane
Oh, Tommy.
Spencer Agnew
People will be like, spider man. They'll be like up on the. I'm like, yeah, we don't need to do that.
Amanda
It's all in our face.
Shane
Final comment, just go. Stop asking for permission. If he makes a fuss afterwards, tell him to drop it or you're leaving the relationship.
Amanda
Drop it.
Spencer Agnew
Hey, drop it.
Amanda
Hey, drop it.
Shane
Hey, frigging drop it. My favorite thing about Reddit is that the advice is always just break up. It's just like, oh, a lot of these stories, a lot of them, it actually does fit. So I can't hate too much.
Spencer Agnew
Hey, hey, drop it.
Amanda
I don't know if this is like breakup territory, but it is like, stop.
Shane
It's breakup territory if the communication and boundary setting doesn't work well.
Amanda
If he's like, no, you can never.
Shane
I don't think she needs to say that she's resentful, but she does need to be like, hey, I got to be able to go see movies without you.
Spencer Agnew
Hey, man, I. Hey, drop Leland Stitch.
Shane
Drop it. I'm resentful as fuck.
Spencer Agnew
Drop it.
Shane
I'm resentful. Hey, I fucking hate you.
Amanda
I hope the movie's good.
Shane
I hope so too. Okay, our next story. Am I the asshole for wanting to divorce my husband because he asked if he could get a blowjob from a sex worker? This is so Spencer coded.
Amanda
Did we talk about this?
Spencer Agnew
Did we.
Amanda
This is so Spencer coded.
Spencer Agnew
Spencer.
Shane
This is birthday coded though. Cause it starts off, today is my birthday, so.
Spencer Agnew
And it's also my birthday.
Shane
It's my birthday. Today is my birthday. So me and my husband, a 25 year old man, decided to go out for Lunch. The day was going well and everything seemed normal. On the way back home in the car, he asked me if I would mind if he hired a sex worker to blow him. And because according to him, my blowjob skills are not that good, I asked him if he was serious, and he just kept asking if I would mind it. I got upset at him, obviously, and when he noticed I was upset, he said I was a hypocrite and was making drama and that I wanted to ruin the day, et cetera. I feel hurt and am thinking about divorcing him. He just said I was being a jerk for no reason. Am I overreacting? It's not like he cheated. Am I the asshole?
Amanda
Can I say something that might be weird? I feel like if your partner's not giving a good blowjob, why don't you guys work on it together?
Shane
That actually, that was the most normal.
Spencer Agnew
Thing you could have thought the most. I thought you were gonna be like, oh, dude. Yeah, just like, let him have this one.
Amanda
Sometimes I say comments and people are like, what the hell? But like, why don't you guys just watch a little porn? Be like, this is what I like. This is what I don't like. Do you want to try it? And he can do it to you too. Not all men are good at that. Like, just talk about it.
Shane
I don't know, it's. Well, I think it's very sad that.
Spencer Agnew
Drop it.
Amanda
Drop it.
Shane
Friggin drop it. This is like a form of communication that I feel like a lot of people lack, which is just like, we feel so uncomfortable with sex.
Spencer Agnew
Growing room.
Shane
So, like, it's like, you're married to this person. Like, you guys should be able to talk about anything.
Amanda
You're married.
Shane
You cannot even talk about this. And I get really frustrated with, like, fixed mindset views of like, oh, these are your blowjob skills. That's permanent. That's what you're learning.
Amanda
Yeah, it's done.
Shane
You can't talk about it in, like.
Spencer Agnew
You can't level your skills up through training.
Amanda
Yeah, just train a little bit. It's not a big. But to get a blowjob from a.
Spencer Agnew
Sex worker is so like, that's zero to a million.
Shane
Yeah. And then to be like, you're over it, dude.
Spencer Agnew
What if the sex worker was bad at it?
Amanda
And like, hey, hey, it could happen.
Shane
Yeah. Actually, that's a pro move if she hires a sex worker for him, but she's like, give a really bad blowjob.
Amanda
Give a really bad blowjob.
Shane
And Then he's like, wow, I guess you're the best.
Amanda
But it's like this guy's being. To me. This guy literally wants a blowjob from another person, and he's just gaslighting her.
Spencer Agnew
Him being like, oh, you're a jerk.
Shane
I think we all got confused because it's. Because the way he's talking to her makes it feel like he's.
Spencer Agnew
You're talking to me like it's your birthday. But it's my birthday.
Shane
It is her birthday, and he's asking for a blowjob from a sex worker on her birthday, and all she asked for was lunch.
Spencer Agnew
Well, she's probably got so much other things to, like, celebrate.
Shane
This might be a good time to.
Spencer Agnew
Just bring it up.
Amanda
Okay. This is so Spencer's story. Wow. Where do they go to lunch?
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, that's where. For some reason, I am really hung up on where they went to school.
Amanda
I'm really hung up.
Spencer Agnew
Cause it, like, what is a birthday lunch for?
Shane
You know, it's not good enough.
Amanda
No, it's like a sandwich and a salad, which I love, but I love that for lunch. But, like, it's her birthday.
Spencer Agnew
But you know what I love more?
Amanda
A blowjob from a sex worker. Yeah, I thought so. I knew this was your story.
Shane
Married at 25 and already asking for a blowjob from a sex worker.
Spencer Agnew
It's like, it only gets better.
Shane
I'm gonna.
Amanda
You have bigger problems.
Shane
I'm gonna be a Redditor here and say they need to break up. Yeah, she needs to divorce him fast.
Spencer Agnew
Lawyer up.
Amanda
Lawyer up.
Shane
Get out of here.
Spencer Agnew
Hit the gym.
Shane
What was the.
Spencer Agnew
Used to be the. That used to be the meta on Reddit. Like, every. It'd be like, lawyer up. Like, anytime there was any relationship drama, like, all accounts would be like, you need to lawyer up, hit the gym, and, like, and divorce her. It was like. It was like this always hit the table, and then it became so bastardized. They were like. Like, hit the lawyer.
Shane
Gym up.
Spencer Agnew
Like, it was some fun Reddit humor. Yeah.
Amanda
Oh, I love Reddit humor.
Shane
The comments. The way I would get the ick and never touch his wiener again. Yeah, I love the same.
Amanda
I got the ick from that comment.
Shane
Yeah, I never touch his wiener again.
Amanda
Do not call a penis a wiener.
Spencer Agnew
I'm so sorry your wiener skills are not epic.
Amanda
Could you imagine if she was like, bring out that wiener, dude.
Spencer Agnew
Just don't even.
Amanda
I'm getting the ick right now.
Shane
I love how it's like, these are Spencer stories and It's a bunch of the most ungrateful guys.
Amanda
And Kiana helped, too.
Shane
A bunch of ungrateful guys who hate sex.
Amanda
Yeah. And love legos.
Shane
Legos and movies and zero sex. It's the chosen.
Amanda
I know. That's it.
Spencer Agnew
I think they come with love.
Amanda
Yeah. Not this one.
Shane
Yeah, maybe not this one. Someone said, not the asshole. Gotta love the hypocrite comment after. Unfortunately, it seems you didn't marry a keeper. OP Left comments. OP left a comment in here going, I tried really hard to make sure he was the one, too. I saw him go through his grandfather's death, and I accidentally damaged his car. And he was super nice about it and didn't scream or belittle me. The only area we had problems was our sex life because I had some health issues and it killed my libido. But when that was managed, he was great. He knew about my past and that one of my relationships was long distance. So I wasn't very experienced with sex, but I actually thought our sex life was okay.
Amanda
But.
Shane
But I'm very vanilla. But he never complained. Yeah, they never talked about it.
Amanda
She just need, like. They just need to, like, work on it together, man.
Shane
They do. I don't know if I, at this stage, hearing this information, believe he's someone who's gonna want that.
Amanda
Also makes me really sad when it's like, oh, he didn't flip out. When I.
Spencer Agnew
It's like, oh, his grandpa died and he didn't hit me.
Amanda
He didn't. Yeah, exactly. It's like, that's so.
Shane
He's not awful.
Amanda
That's not. There's good men at that guy.
Shane
I thought he was the one because he wasn't really mean to me.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Oh, obviously there is the conversation of, like, couples having conversations about opening a relationship. This, though, hits different territory for me, where it's like, can I get a blowjob from a sex worker? Because you're bad at it. And I'm like, that. You can't move past that.
Amanda
I think he thought in his head that that, like, made sense.
Spencer Agnew
I think you're right.
Amanda
He was like, well, this is gonna make sense.
Spencer Agnew
This is like stupidity on another level. Or like, a complete lack of, like, I don't know, like, social awareness. I don't know what you'd use to describe what he lacks, but it's to.
Shane
Say something mean and then afterwards to go, you're overreacting. You're being a hypocrite. You're all these. It's like, okay, I don't believe what you're saying that he's nice.
Spencer Agnew
He's probably recovering from the death of his grandfather.
Amanda
Still, there's nothing wrong with wanting something good from your partner. But it's like that is. He's just like coloring it as something else.
Shane
Yeah. Other comments. My guess is he's gauging your reaction to something he's already done.
Amanda
Spencer, is that you? Is this you vibes?
Spencer Agnew
That's such a crazy assumption. Like, maybe they're right, but that's just like a dude, he's cheated on you. He's been cheating on you for his whole life. He hates you. Like, I don't know.
Shane
That's like, it's a possibility. It is a possibility, but you can't jump to that. Yeah, it's a possibility. I don't think in my eyes it matters. I think the comment.
Spencer Agnew
Oh yeah, it's not the focus of the.
Shane
The comment enough is grounds. It's like, could he have done worse? Possibly.
Spencer Agnew
It's just like only a sith deals in absolutes kind of vibe. But it's just like, it's like someone will post something on Reddit. They'll be like, oh yeah, my wife came home late last night and the comments will just be like, dude, she's cheating on you. And it's just like, yeah, perhaps not.
Amanda
Yeah, perhaps.
Shane
This can't be real. Nobody is dumb enough to ask his wife if he can get a BJ from a sex worker on her birthday. Oh my God. If it is real, you are an absolute saint for not cutting off his nuts right there and then. Someone commented underneath that saying, I'm in the process of a divorce from a man who asked me five days after I had given birth vaginally with a first degree tear if he could have a mistress because he couldn't wait six weeks to have sex with me. Same man also told me that the only reason he'd ever come during a blowjob was because he was imagining that I was one of his employees while I was giving you a blowjob. Some people are just shitholes, dude.
Amanda
Sir, the fact it is working, one of your employees giving you a blowjob. I don't know why that makes me laugh.
Spencer Agnew
So.
Shane
It's. Some things are so messed up.
Amanda
So your meeting starts in 10 minutes. I. I can't. What? Hello? First of all, I don't want to hear about the tear. What the fuck is a first degree tear? I'm gonna have to research this all night.
Shane
I don't know. I don't know.
Amanda
Oh, no, this is bad guy's never.
Spencer Agnew
Heard of jerking off.
Amanda
I know.
Shane
And you tell him and he's like, what? He's like, you can do what to myself Solo. Solo. Hans.
Amanda
Yeah. Why are you relying on just one other person? Take care of yourself.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, dude.
Shane
Oh my God.
Amanda
Oh, God. God. These are all your stories.
Shane
These are your stories.
Spencer Agnew
These are my stories.
Shane
Let's tell these stories. All right, Our next story comes from the Too Hot Takes subreddit. Shout out to Morgan over at Too Hot Takes Morgan. My roommate doesn't want to live with me again after I watched Jurassic park movies while his girlfriend was at our apartment.
Amanda
Huh?
Shane
My roommate doesn't want to live with me again after I watched Jurassic park movies while his girlfriend was at our apartment.
Amanda
Okay, okay.
Shane
I, a 22 year old man, am finishing up my last year of college and live with my best friend, a 23 year old man. He has a girlfriend who's 20 that he's been with for about six months. She's pretty shy and whenever she's at our apartment, they are pretty much always just hanging out in my friend's room. They will very rarely hang out in common areas for extended periods of time. So suffice to say that even though I've known her for half a year, I know very little about her and wouldn't say I know her very well personally. This past weekend, I was scrolling through Netflix to find something to put on in the background while I study for finals. I found the Land Before Time, which was one of my favorite movies growing up because my older brother used to always play it for me when he babysat me. So I turned it on and just kind of had it on. My roommate and his girlfriend came by and my roommate noticed the movie I was watching. He commented that he hasn't seen it in years, since he was a kid. He asked his girlfriend if she's ever seen it and she said no. She said that she wasn't allowed to watch any movies with dinosaurs because her religion doesn't believe in them and believe that their fossils were put in the ground by God as a test. Needless to say, I was caught off guard. Of course. Oh, I've never heard that the fossils were put there by God as a test. I've heard. I've heard that the fossils are fake, but not that they were put there by God. That's. Whoa. That's another level.
Spencer Agnew
That's a dumb test.
Shane
Of course I had a million questions, but for some reason my brain went towards dinosaur movies instead of her religion. I Asked if she'd ever seen any of the Jurassic park movies and she said no. I told her some of them are really good and suggested we have a dinosaur movie marathon. She said she doesn't want to watch any movie that goes against her beliefs. I just said okay and didn't push it. And they quickly retreated back to my roommate's room. Fool around. But it did kind of make me want to watch Jurassic park movies.
Spencer Agnew
Got me fucking thinking about Jurassic park, bro.
Shane
All right, that's awesome. I have the first two on Blu ray, so I found those and started watching them. Neither my roommate or his girlfriend came out of the room much of the rest of the day, except to get something from the kitchen or go to the bathroom. After I finished the second movie, I left to meet up with some friends. I stayed at a friend's place that night after drinking, and when I got back to my place, my roommate immediately laid into me. He said that I was very disrespectful to his girlfriend by playing Jurassic park movies. Immediately after she told me it goes against her religious beliefs. He said I made her feel very uncomfortable and that they both agree I did it on purpose to mock her beliefs. I told him I don't care at all about her beliefs and that I told her I don't care at all about her beliefs and that all I did was watch movies in my own place. I told him it's not my problem what her religious beliefs are. And if she gets that upset about dinosaur movies, then I'm honestly kind of surprised she can go through day to day life without having an existential breakdown. He told me that he doesn't want to live with me again after our lease is up at the end of the month. We had already been looking at renewing our lease or finding a new place, but I think they are seriously overreacting.
Amanda
What is happening?
Spencer Agnew
Dude, break up. Break up with your roommate.
Amanda
Hit the gym, dude, get out of there.
Shane
Look, I have my judgments of. I mean, this is so extreme. I have my judgments of like certain beliefs and religions and whatever, but people can believe what they want. But I've always laughed at, like, I can't watch that because they're talking about things or it shows things that I don't believe. I'm like, then yeah, don't.
Amanda
And then don't watch it. It's not your house.
Shane
Or like, watch it and don't believe it. It's a fictional movie. Like, what you're saying that your faith is so weak that you can't watch it or you'll immediately be swayed. I'm like, then do you even believe what you believe?
Amanda
It's not your apartment.
Spencer Agnew
I always like, it's not your fucking apartment.
Shane
I just scoff whenever people are like, no, I can't watch that. Cause it goes against.
Amanda
I'm like, you must turn it off in your home.
Shane
You believe what you believe, right? Like, you believe it's the tr. So it shouldn't matter. But she believes, I guess, that God put fossils there as a test. So maybe she also believes God made Jurassic park as a test.
Amanda
What's the test?
Shane
To test your faith.
Spencer Agnew
Your faith in, like, you know, the Earth only being, like 3,000 years.
Amanda
So Jurassic park playing was a test?
Shane
Yeah.
Spencer Agnew
The Lord works in mystery ways.
Shane
Testing God. Oh.
Spencer Agnew
So my story is I was placed. No, I went to a Christian summer camp. My parents were like, yeah, yeah. That was kind of like everything in our hometown was Christian. And then at one point, we did a field trip to this museum. And the museum talked about how dinosaurs and man coexisted. And it was like, the Earth is like 3,000 or 4,000 years old was their pitch. And dinosaurs were real and they coexisted with man. But the fossils are not millions of years old. The scientists are wrong. And they're only like 3,000 or 4,000 years old. But they were wiped out in, like, the. I think it's the flood.
Shane
That they're too big.
Spencer Agnew
They were too big to fit on the ark. That Steve.
Shane
Even though there's plenty of dinosaurs that were small.
Spencer Agnew
But, yeah, so they are real dinosaurs. And I came home and I was telling my parents, and birds are related to dinosaurs. And they were like, oh, you're actually not going back there. So one, your parents chose two point Spencer's parents.
Shane
Your parents chose dinosaurs.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, well, they. Cause I truly was so obsessed with dinosaurs, like, my whole life at that point, for me to kind of like, to show. I think it showed how malleable, like a child's views are. Where I was like, yeah, well, that's what they told us. Like this authority figure. And they're like, okay, well, that's actually not true. So you're done.
Amanda
So they were saying that that authority figure was saying those fossils didn't come from dinosaurs.
Spencer Agnew
No, they came from dinosaurs, but they're only a couple thousand years old.
Shane
So they didn't believe in carbon dating. Yeah, they were like, no.
Amanda
And so your parents feel like they aren't true simply because those aren't the facts of dinosaurs. Because your parents believe in dinosaurs.
Spencer Agnew
My parents Believe in. Yeah, Science.
Shane
And the Grand Canyon was just God making a really complicated cake really quickly.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
What?
Spencer Agnew
He peed really hard.
Shane
Cause there's a bunch of layers, and then you can date all the layers.
Spencer Agnew
You can see.
Shane
Like, well, that's the top. That's us.
Spencer Agnew
Us and the mules.
Shane
We're the frogs.
Amanda
The donkeys or the frosting. I can't.
Shane
It takes, like, willful ignorance, I think, when it comes to so much of these types of scientific things to go like, yeah, no, that the Earth is not that old. It's like you literally, like, can look.
Amanda
At stuff like, let's be real, like, your roommate's girlfriend. It's not her place. Also, you were inside a room with the door shut.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Like, what, did she come out and.
Spencer Agnew
Go to the bathroom? She hasn't seen Jurassic park, unfortunately.
Shane
Also, I think this is just not a bro. Like, this is a guy who immediately. This is the type of friend, I think that as soon as they get a girlfriend, it's just like. If the girlfriend's like, I don't like your friend. He's like, yeah, and I don't like him either.
Amanda
Yeah, I don't like him.
Shane
He's not your bro, man.
Amanda
You know what? Maybe he just wanted the girlfriend to move in the whole time. And then he was like, this is the time. It's the Jurassic Park. Poor guy was just loving his little Blu Ray, having a great time.
Spencer Agnew
And he was smart for stopping after two.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
The third one. Which one's Dominion?
Spencer Agnew
The fifth one. No, sixth one.
Amanda
Ugh.
Shane
I have not seen much I didn't see.
Amanda
You didn't see Christopher Pyro?
Shane
I've not actually watched any of the Jurassic Worlds. I've only seen, really, the clip of the girl getting, as I call it, Harlem Globetrotted by the pterodactyls. She gets. It's the best way to put it.
Amanda
She's the nanny.
Shane
She's the nanny. And dinosaurs are just throwing them around.
Amanda
She's the nanny and she's on her phone the whole time. Yeah, I love Jurassic park, but those ones are not that.
Spencer Agnew
That's Jurassic World, though.
Amanda
I could not stop replaying it as a kid. First, Jurassic Park. The. The young, the blonde. Her acting was out of control.
Shane
Remember her?
Amanda
She was like.
Shane
Oh, yeah.
Spencer Agnew
She's like.
Shane
To be fair, if I'm in a kitchen with a bunch of velociraptors, I'm acting that way.
Amanda
But her acting made me laugh so hard as a kid, we would always rewind it and then Press play again because it was so intense.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And the little boy.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah. See, I used to dress up as Tim from Jurassic Park a lot.
Amanda
Which one's?
Shane
Wow.
Spencer Agnew
The kid in the striped shirt.
Shane
Oh, God knows all the facts.
Spencer Agnew
He knows all the facts. He's carrying around the dinosaur book.
Amanda
Scattered bandana. That's a great outfit.
Shane
Comments? Not the asshole. I'm sure whatever she and your roommate are doing in his room all the time also goes against her religious beliefs. Roommate is just looking for an excuse to not live with you anymore. Someone said they didn't have a problem with it while you were watching the Land Before Time, but all of a sudden after you discussed it, it became a problem. You didn't sit there and force her to watch anything. And they were in a completely separate room. Not the asshole. OP said they think that once I found out that she doesn't believe in dinosaurs, that I watched the Jurassic park movies to mock her beliefs and rub it in her face. Really? I just hadn't seen the first two Jurassic park movies in a while and the conversation spurred an interest in watching them again. Someone said someone looking to be offended can usually find an excuse. I don't want to get off track with the girlfriend's beliefs, but wow. However, you were in no way disrespectful. Your roommate is way out of line. I'm at a loss as to how that made her uncomfortable. You didn't lecture on evolution or ridicule her beliefs. You simply watched a movie that didn't support her very, very non mainstream religious beliefs. You don't owe that to her.
Spencer Agnew
She's like, can we put on God's Not Dead?
Shane
And it seems even the roomie didn't know as he asked her if she'd seen the movie. I'm rolling my eyeballs around here. It's not like Op was watching hardcore porn in the common area. You were watching a couple of very well known and popular movies. Op said this was the first time that her religious beliefs were ever brought up. She never said anything about me smoking weed or drinking at our apartment. I'm a 22 year old college student. I do my fair share of sinning. This was the first time I heard her talk about anything related to her religion. Yeah, it's very inconsistent.
Spencer Agnew
It's an interesting battle to pick.
Shane
Yeah. Of all the things it does, you know, it's a leap. But I do fall into the category of like maybe the. The roommate was just trying to find an excuse.
Amanda
I think that. I think it was.
Spencer Agnew
He's like Go with the dinosaurs.
Shane
Let's do the dinosaur thing. Cause if we do drinking or smoking, then we have to stop drinking.
Amanda
Also, the roommate loved Lynn before time. Why isn't she on him on that?
Shane
That's what he's saying. He's like, it's inconsistent. Also, the roommate clearly didn't know about this religious belief. Well, dinosaurs mentioned.
Spencer Agnew
That's a dinosaur's very serious Spencer thing.
Amanda
This is the you story. I am learning so much about you.
Spencer Agnew
I think the boyfriend's cheating on him.
Amanda
Probably you think the boyfriend's cheating on him?
Shane
What I want to go on. I need to make a Reddit account and just go onto these am I the asshole Posts and leave just comments that make zero sense.
Amanda
Drop him.
Shane
Just be like, I think he's cheating on you. It's very clear that he's not respectful. And just like it's like, wait, I think you misread the story.
Amanda
Now I get it.
Shane
Okay, our next story.
Amanda
Okay.
Shane
Am I the asshole for not inviting my sister to my wedding because she always jokes about sleeping with my fiance?
Spencer Agnew
Probably so you.
Shane
They're just jokes, bro.
Amanda
Come on. They're just jokes.
Shane
They're just jokes.
Amanda
And she's allowed to say those words.
Shane
Now let me see his witness wiener. Okay, so I'm getting married in October. Small chill, nothing crazy. Should be a happy time, right? Yeah, except my older sister who's 31 and has this thing where she constantly flirts with my fiance, 29 year old man, like aggressively. And it's always under the guise of oh my God, I'm just joking. Don't be so sensitive. The first time she met him, dead ass said, wow, you upgraded. I'd let him ruin my life too. In front of me.
Amanda
I can't.
Shane
I laughed it off because I didn't want to seem insecure, but like, wtf? Then she started with the if you ever get bored of her, you know who to call comments again in front of me. I told her it was weird and she rolled her eyes and said I'm too uptight.
Spencer Agnew
She rolled her eyeballs.
Shane
She's made so many little jabs. I saw him shirtless once. Damn girl, you got lucky. If you die first, I call dibs. Too bad you got him first. Lol. Like it never ends.
Spencer Agnew
This is just like Hamilton.
Amanda
So funny. This is so funny.
Shane
My fiance thinks it's awkward but tries to ignore it. He's not flirtatious back, but he also doesn't really shut it down either. Just gets uncomfortable and laughs nervously. Last weekend was the last Straw. We were at my parents house and I left to grab something from my car. Came back and heard her saying, I swear I'm not making this up. I mean, if you're having second thoughts, I'm always available. Just kidding. Unless I.
Spencer Agnew
This chick is like, okay, that was kind of funny.
Amanda
That one's funny.
Shane
Like the unless was real. That's not a joke anymore. That's a goddamn come on. I snapped, told her she's disgusting and can't come to the wedding. She flipped, cried, told my mom I was being dramatic. Now the whole family saying I'm ruining the family over a joke. And she's just always been flirty and doesn't mean anything by it. I don't even care if she meant it or not anymore. I just don't want that energy around me if I'm trying to get married. But now it's this whole thing and I'm apparently the villain for excluding her and making it a bigger deal than it is. Am I the asshole for uninviting her or is this actually insane?
Amanda
Because.
Shane
Because at this point I feel like I'm losing it.
Amanda
This one's really complicated. I mean, what she's saying is making me laugh really hard.
Spencer Agnew
It's funny, but it's also just like, hey, if you tell someone to stop, it's like, hey, fucking, Fucking stop. Yeah, like slash serious. Fucking stop.
Amanda
Serious, like stop fucking. Yeah.
Shane
The fiance's uncomfortable and of course he can't say anything. It's her sister, he's got to drop it. He's gotta be like. But I also think they could probably have a convo and she could give him permission to be like, you're allowed.
Amanda
Exactly.
Shane
You're allowed to fucking say no to her too.
Spencer Agnew
But it's also allowed to do that too. Like family.
Shane
It's so uncomfortable for either of them to have to.
Amanda
I will say, though, not inviting her to the wedding is a little kind of to the extreme.
Shane
I just.
Amanda
My family would never allow me to do that. My family would be like, how dare you?
Shane
It's just reached such a. I think.
Spencer Agnew
The family is being like, how dare you?
Shane
The family is being, how dare you? It's one of those unfortunate things we see with so many families where someone's behavior has been a little out of control for so long that they're like, this is just who she is.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
It's like, oh, that's Uncle Greg. He gets drunk and gets in fights with everyone and that's just who he is.
Amanda
Maybe she should have given him an Ultimatum her. An ultimatum. Like, hey, say that shit again and you're not fucking coming to the wedding.
Shane
Sure.
Amanda
You're making my fiance uncomfortable. And the next time you do it, he's going to say something. Is that going to be fun for you?
Shane
Mm.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Shane
It's one of those situations where I don't blame her for what she did. Cause I'm like, that's exhausting.
Amanda
It's exhausting.
Spencer Agnew
It's exhausting. If they've talked about it before.
Shane
It's so disrespectful.
Spencer Agnew
If I were to talk about, like, you know, that. Yeah.
Shane
She said. She's brought it up. Said like, hey, this is uncomfortable.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
But is she saying it in a joking manner?
Shane
I told her it was weird, and she rolled her eyes and said, up. Too uptight. I don't. So she's not giving specific examples of what she said. I think she's also saying all these times we're in front of her, so it's kind of like, okay, you're saying a joke, and it's like you're doing it for Shock Valley in front of me. But she was saying this without her around. She was saying this to her fiance.
Amanda
At a certain point, her fiance can protect himself. He's marrying into the family. He can be like, hey, no, I love your sister. I'm marrying her.
Spencer Agnew
I think a lot of men just, like, aren't used to that type of expense, having to, like, shut things down in that way.
Shane
No way.
Amanda
Yeah, yeah. Women have a lot of practice with that.
Shane
Truly.
Spencer Agnew
Like, it's like, you're kind of. And I'm not saying that's not a reason. There's probably not, but it's like, yeah, we don't.
Shane
We don't know from this if he has said anything. Like, he could start off in a light way of just being like, no. Like, I'm so happy with her. She's the one for me. I feel like this sister, though, based on what we're seeing. I just don't think anything's gonna stop her. She seems.
Amanda
I feel like I've just met a girl like this. She just always says the comment that makes everyone go, oh, Jesus Christ.
Shane
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Comments, not the asshole. Why the fuck would you ever make comments like this about someone's significant other? Especially in private, Tim, with you not around? Instead of admitting her wrong, she continues to gaslight you into believing you're insecure, overreacting. Ultimately, it's your wedding, and if she can't respect you and your boundaries, then she doesn't have to be there. OP said she disrespected me and I'm her own sister. That says everything I need to know. Thank you for your comment. Seriously, it means a lot. Someone said not inviting her ass is the best thing you can do. She's the type, in my opinion, that will try to outshine you on your big day. I get she's your sister, but damn, I would never do that to any of my sisters. That's so disrespectful. Can you imagine the sister taking a turn dancing with the groom? It wouldn't be pretty. Lastly, someone said, not the asshole. Your sister is making a play for your fiance and would like nothing more than to bust up your relationship so that she could have him.
Spencer Agnew
It's another one of those Reddit comments. It's like, dude, she's cheating on you, she wants to kill you, blah, blah, blah.
Shane
There is nothing wrong with you setting strong boundaries. And your parents need to have to come to Jesus to talk with your sister about her behavior and stop enabling her. Someone said to that. Exactly. And the fiance is likely not saying anything to avoid making waves. But the sister is just an ass and she's trying hard to come between them. She's calling it a joke, but if no one is laughing, what's so funny about it? She clearly has no respect for her sister.
Amanda
So how is this related to you? That's the first time.
Spencer Agnew
Like, I don't know, Spencer's just like.
Amanda
Man, I let him ruin me.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah. And I think, Shane, you're right. Like, it is like one of those kind of familial, maybe familiar but like, it's like it's the family member. It's like, ah, like, you know, like, let him. You get. They get a little drunk.
Shane
If you do bad behavior so long, suddenly it becomes part of who you are. And everyone's like, well, they get a pass.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Cause they've been doing it for so long, but. Cause like, if this was an out of character thing, like if you have a sibling who is always respectful and always cool and then suddenly you hear them say something like that, you're like, whoa, holy shit. But she's been doing it for so long.
Amanda
Can I play devil's advocate? What would be worse? The sister being like, God, here comes your boyfriend. Fucking ugly socks. Oh great, you're marrying this loser. Or the other part.
Shane
I think they're both. I think they're both.
Spencer Agnew
No, they're both two sides of the.
Shane
Same coin of just disrespecting her none.
Amanda
Of them are good. And they're annoying.
Shane
They're annoying as hell.
Amanda
It's like, stop.
Shane
Oh, dude. People who don't let up on. Even if these are. If these are for sure a joke.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Still annoying as hell. Still disrespectful. It's just exhausting.
Amanda
Yeah, it's tiny.
Spencer Agnew
If someone legitimately tells me not to joke about something around them, it's like, okay, yeah, let me do that then.
Shane
I mean, we tell jokes for a living here, and we have the understanding amongst each other of like, hey, any joke is like, fine. But once if a joke is said, it's like, hey, okay, let's not do that one. It's like, all right, then we don't. Then. Great. That's all it takes. When people don't respect that, it bothers me so much.
Spencer Agnew
Well, they wouldn't be here.
Amanda
Yeah, they're just annoying.
Shane
Yeah. This is rough.
Amanda
No update.
Shane
No update on that one. I mean, do you think that she.
Amanda
Still isn't invited to the wedding? Oh, it's in October. Is that this year?
Shane
I think maybe that would be the.
Spencer Agnew
One the chosens show up to.
Shane
It's just so complicated.
Amanda
Could you imagine?
Shane
It's so complicated because, like, this is unfortunate, where the sister clearly is the one in the family who gets the pass. Because, you know, if the sister had a wedding. Okay, I'm a little Redditor here. The sister had a wedding and she overreacted in ways and did something like this, the family would probably be on her side. Like, there's always that family member that, like, just kind of gets the pass. And we read about it so much, and I feel like this is the one.
Amanda
I think it's because it's really uncomfortable to confront someone like that.
Shane
I think the family. It's kind of like that peacekeeping aspect in families where it's just like, well, if we all just, like, let them.
Amanda
Yeah. But then it gets worse and worse and worse.
Shane
Absolutely. No, I mean, like I said, I'm not necessarily judging her for her decision to say, you're not welcome to my wedding. It is her wedding. She's allowed. She is allowed. Are there going to be repercussions for her? Yeah.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Like, it's going to be awkward in the family.
Spencer Agnew
This is a. I'm breaking up the B word. I think it was brave of her to uninvite her from the wedding. Like, that's scary.
Shane
She's gotta set. The only thoughts I'm thinking is just like, are there boundaries you can set? But do I. Based on just.
Spencer Agnew
It seems like you wouldn't follow that.
Shane
Based on this story. Do I believe it? And I think OP is seeming like she doesn't believe it either. It's like, we don't know how long this is going on. How constant. I mean, if it's to get to the point where you're uninviting a sibling, it has to be pretty extreme because, like, at a wedding, it's like, you want them there.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
You should want them there. So to get to that point, I.
Amanda
Mean, you might regret it.
Shane
Yeah. I don't know. But these things happen. Families are complicated. All right, our final story. It comes from. Am I overreacting? Am I overreacting? Wife called another man daddy.
Amanda
This is so you. It's crazy.
Shane
You're doing that all the time.
Spencer Agnew
I'm the other man.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
He's like, honestly, I mean, we've seen the TikTok thirst traps. I mean, we have someone. There's a Spencer. There's a very real possibility that somewhere out there is a couple where the girlfriend might have accidentally called you daddy in front of their.
Amanda
You have a lot of Thirst Trap videos.
Shane
How do you feel about that?
Spencer Agnew
Great. Feel great. Thank you. Thank you guys. It feels great.
Shane
On the ego. Everyone's getting served them.
Spencer Agnew
That's the funny thing. Everyone. That's the funny thing.
Shane
Literally on URL, Courtney was talking to Ted Nifficent and he was like, I'm getting served them. Stop. Everybody's getting served them, man.
Spencer Agnew
I'm always like, kind of shocked when people know who I am.
Amanda
You're very memorable. Very memorable.
Spencer Agnew
That's the sweetest thing you've ever said, really.
Shane
So for the last few years, my. This is a 33 year old man. My wife, who's 29, has been very interested in an MMO game. She gets home from work on Tuesdays and boots up her PC and starts playing it for hours on end. She likes to roleplay there. She pretends to be a rabbit. It's sort of like Dungeons and Dragons or play acting, apparently. And she has a Sunday gaming group that she plays with. I don't really get it, but it makes her happy, so I was always fine with it. The last couple of months though, she's been distant. We haven't lain together in weeks, usually two to three times a week. Lain together?
Amanda
Lain together.
Spencer Agnew
Oh, lain together.
Amanda
Lane together.
Spencer Agnew
I thought you said lained. And I was like, that must be like an MMO term or something like that.
Shane
We haven't lain together in weeks. Usually two to three times a week. And she brushes me off if I ask what's wrong. We used to cook together, but lately I've been having to do the cooking for us both and bring it to her in her home office. She works from home because she won't leave her computer. Then on Sunday night I heard her talking with her gaming group. She was saying I'm a good aster. I swear this isn't her name. Mate is so hard, but his mount is fantastic. His thing is colossal. And then she giggled. Wolf, Daddy is coming. That's when I maybe overreacted. I pulled the plug to the Internet.
Amanda
Whoa.
Shane
That is some that's dad behavior. That's dad behaving behavior. She was more upset that I turned off the Internet than that. I caught her cyber fucking another man and she tried to gaslight me into thinking I'm crazy. And so I said some unharmonious things to her and now she won't talk to me. Was I overreacting here?
Spencer Agnew
Clearly a lot going on. Yeah, he was probably. He probably said some fucked up shit. It sounds like.
Amanda
So was she sleeping with another rabbit?
Shane
There's a game called Final Fantasy and in it you're in a big fantastical world and there's different types of people you can play as. You can play as a rabbit human, but they're just a human. Like a sexy.
Spencer Agnew
They got ears tall.
Shane
Sexy. Think of like a. Think of like Lord of the Rings elf but with ears. Love that pretty much. Oh my God. That's basically the vibe.
Amanda
I was lazy.
Spencer Agnew
See this is where I wanted to leave Reddit comments with sounds and I would just leave a moaning sound.
Shane
But people, people, people role play in these games. So when they're playing they're like speaking to each other as if they're in the world.
Amanda
This is fun.
Shane
But people within the game like have relationships. Role played relationships and role play like basically they just talk out.
Amanda
Makes sense.
Shane
Phone sex essentially just with added elements. Someone said brother, I play Final Fantasy 14. I think you need to get your hearing checked. First line is probably I'm a good caster, I swear. Second line is likely mate is so hard but his mount is cool. Mate being pronounced as M8 as in that is what players call the fight. You get a mount from it. Third line is based on the fact that the in game announcer says the line he put the colossus to the sword. Fourth line is based on the fact that the boss, Howling Blade is a wolf and says goofy shit like can you handle a pack of wolves. Either this is a post meant for karma farming, or you need to actually talk with your girl because she is not erping. She is rating. You are totally overreacting. Edit. She was more likely reacting to the line, where did that colossal thing come from? By the announcer. I forgot about it. Lol. Anyway, use this as a lesson to sit down and communicate with her the next time you have concerns. If she is willing to still put up with you after this, that is.
Spencer Agnew
Okay. Now it's my turn to play devil's advocate.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
Love this. It's your birthday.
Spencer Agnew
It's my birthday, so I can do this.
Amanda
Yes. Yes, you can.
Spencer Agnew
I don't even remember what it is. Cause I thought of so many awful things. No, no, no, no. But it was. It was like. Cause he has been trying. It sounds like in the lead up to this from his pov, which is all we're getting, he was saying a lot of like, hey, she has been really distant. I've been trying to communicate with her, you know, and she's not kind of like sharing this, like, MMO experience. So I get how that has built resentment in that way. But also, like, that is a hilarious misunderstanding and pulling the plug and saying unharmonious things. Like, that's. Look, the question was, am I overreacting? I think he might have been overreacting.
Amanda
Yeah, he got paranoid.
Shane
I think he overreacted because if this is the first time he's ever heard anything of this nature, he needs to go into the room and say, hey, what's going on? What am I hearing? But instead, he pulled out the Internet.
Amanda
It's just like.
Shane
And then said a bunch of horrible stuff.
Amanda
He wants attention. He's feeling resentful. It's building. He's not saying anything, so he automatically makes her the villain. Here's the thing. She might be having cyber sex. I don't know them. Yeah, I mean, she's a rabbit.
Spencer Agnew
She might just be, like, legitimately addicted to the game, which can hurt a relationship.
Shane
It sounds like there are issues that he's like, oh, we're not spending much time together. She's in her office all day, all night. That's a problem. You need to talk about that. They're not doing that. I don't like. I'm immediately not on this guy's side, though, because he's asking if he's overreacting and he's not telling us what he said to her. He goes. He goes, am I overreacting? So I said a bunch of stuff to her and I'm like, what'd you say, man?
Spencer Agnew
He writes down exactly what she said. He was like, I said some stuff.
Shane
Yeah. He literally gave us four of her quotes and then doesn't say what he said to her. I'm like, so, yeah, I'm not on your side, man.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
What?
Shane
I don't like that exactly.
Amanda
You probably said some really mean shit.
Shane
You probably said some really awful stuff. He probably let out all of his frustrations, but he probably said some really out of bound things.
Amanda
Brave.
Spencer Agnew
That was very brave of you.
Amanda
That was not very brave of you. Internet is pulled.
Shane
Yeah, no Internet pulled.
Spencer Agnew
That is like something a dad would do. Yeah. That's like dad behavior. Derogatory.
Amanda
You have to find your Internet. You have to undo it. That sucks.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Amanda
Then he doesn't get the Internet.
Spencer Agnew
He's like, wait, I didn't think.
Amanda
He's like, oh, I'm in the middle of watching my movie that she can't watch with anyone else.
Shane
Who says, we haven't lain together in weeks.
Amanda
Also, maybe that's why she doesn't want to lay with you.
Spencer Agnew
It's because you're talking like that, bro.
Shane
I'm like, she's the one playing Final Fantasy, but you're referring to sex that way. Let me put down my sword.
Amanda
She's like, just take off your pants at the end.
Shane
Of all of this, which story was the most Spencer.
Amanda
Okay, let's say it before he says it.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
What do you think? Mine feels. Mine feels. I'm leaning towards like Lego vibes.
Shane
I'm leaning towards Jurassic park because I think what I think without, like, no matter the situation, like if someone's like, oh, I'm deeply offended by Jurassic Park. I cannot watch it. It's horrible. And then goes to another room. I think it's very censorship.
Spencer Agnew
I think I would put on Jurassic park as fast as humanly possible.
Shane
I think it's very Spencer to not do it out of spite. To just be like, oh man, I should watch Jurassic Park.
Spencer Agnew
I think I might do it out of spite a little bit.
Amanda
Okay. So is dress also funny? Most Spencer Reddit.
Spencer Agnew
I think that might be the lingerie guy had me in the first half.
Amanda
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shane
It's very Spencer in how funny it is. It's awful, but it's funny.
Spencer Agnew
It's stinky and I don't like it, but it's a little funny.
Shane
It's really funny.
Amanda
Wow.
Shane
Yeah. Well.
Amanda
Which one was so not you?
Shane
Well, the. There was the awful guy.
Amanda
The second sex worker.
Shane
Oh, no, there was the wedding one.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah, the wedding one of the sister.
Shane
Who'S just hitting on.
Spencer Agnew
Yeah.
Shane
It's just like. Bro, stop.
Spencer Agnew
You're uninvited. You're uninvited to my shit.
Shane
It's one of your least favorite types of people. Yeah. There you go. For your birthday.
Amanda
Yeah, I get that.
Shane
Anyways, well, Spencer, happy birthday.
Amanda
Happy birthday.
Spencer Agnew
Thank you guys. What a fun.
Amanda
Thank you.
Spencer Agnew
And you'll never. And you'll never go bald.
Amanda
You will never bald.
Shane
It never bawled, apparently. We have a surprise for you, Spencer.
Spencer Agnew
It's a.
Shane
It's a dinosaur. Oh, my goodness. These aren't lit because we're on a set. But these are burritos.
Spencer Agnew
Oh, my goodness.
Shane
I'm imagining from homestay.
Amanda
Oh, my God.
Shane
Honey, birthday burritos.
Amanda
You have to make a wish.
Spencer Agnew
It already came true.
Shane
There you go.
Spencer Agnew
It already came with us here with all you guys.
Shane
Wow. Some birthday burritos for Spencer.
Spencer Agnew
What a treat.
Shane
It's Saturday. Get your burritos out.
Amanda
Yeah, get your burritos out.
Spencer Agnew
Log into Final Fantasy 14.
Shane
Nice. Oh, my God, Spencer. Happy birthday, Amanda. Thank you for being here.
Amanda
Hey, anytime.
Shane
And thank you for watching. Let us know what other categories, what other subreddits you'd like us to cover on this show. Let Spencer know happy birthday and we'll see you next Saturday. Bye.
Amanda
Bye.
Spencer Agnew
Thank you guys.

Host/Author: Smosh
Episode: This One is For the Boys | Reading Reddit Stories
Release Date: July 5, 2025
The episode kicks off with Shayne "Shane" Topp welcoming listeners to a special birthday edition of Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. The celebration centers around their friend Spencer Agnew, who humorously shares that it's also his birthday (00:12 – 00:15).
