Welcome back to Reddit Stories.
I'm Shane, and today's theme is all about embarrassing stories.
And I'm here with two huge embarrassments, Courtney and Ian.
I was not prepared for that.
Honestly, wasn't prepared, but fair.
Yeah.
Before we get into this,
I've been told Ian, you have something to tell us.
I do, yeah.
So I was very inspired by the roommates episode.
Okay.
There's specifically one story in there that was about someone deleting a Baldur's Gate
save.
Yes.
All because of, what was it?
Oh, they ate their beans.
Yeah.
One roommate ate the other roommate's beans,
but they're very nice beans.
We've been informed.
What beans were they?
Rancho Gordo beans.
Oh, right.
So I brought a surprise.
I brought-
Did you make chili with Rancho Gordo beans?
I brought Rancho Gordo beans.
Oh my gosh.
Whoa!
Let's you get beans.
You get beans.
Whoa!
You get beans. You get beans. Whoa! You get beans.
Nice throw.
So if you guys want any specific varietals,
let me know.
I got lots of beans.
I gotta be honest, if someone ate these beans,
that seemed the quality of them.
If someone ate these beans,
I think you are legally allowed to kill them.
You know, like if they stole these beans, you got a haul of them. If someone ate these beans, I think you are legally allowed to kill them. You know, like if they stole these beans,
you got a haul of beans.
I wanted to treat everybody.
Look, the marketing like matches my jeans.
Whoa, you've been wearing Rancho Gordo pants
this whole time.
Everyone is welcome to beans.
Ian, the bean man.
That's what they call me now.
I'm sure that's what one of the wise men
wanted to bring Jesus.
Beans!
Frankincense, liquor, and beans.
I brought gold, you brought beans?
I came all the way from Mexico, dude.
You better appreciate this.
In this time, that's crazy.
It is.
Wow, Ian, thank you.
Lovely.
Thank you.
Holy crap, the gift of beans.
You're welcome. The gift of beans, too, so. Okay, I thought you. Holy crap, the gift of beans. You're welcome.
The gift of beans too, so.
Okay, I thought you were about to tell us
an embarrassing story.
Yeah, me too.
But no, you just showered us with gifts.
It's pretty embarrassing that we thought
that you would tell an embarrassing story.
You know, I'm a changed man.
Now all I give is beans.
I don't know if, I think the most embarrassing thing,
it's not embarrassing because you did it to yourself, but on Bit City, I don't know if, I think the most embarrassing thing, it's not embarrassing because you did it to yourself,
but on Bit City, I don't know if your incredible bit
is out yet or not.
But that's about as close as it gets to embarrassing stories.
What, PBL?
PBL, man.
Once PBL happens, if it's out or not, once you see it,
come back to this video and comment.
About PBL.
About PBL. About PBL.
Yeah.
Okay.
PBL Drizzy.
God.
Holy shit.
Someone should Photoshop that.
Someone will.
PBL Drizzy.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
Okay, let's get into some embarrassing stories here.
Our first one, it comes from our Today I Fucked Up.
What?
Tee-boo.
Today I fucked up by accidentally revealing
my student's paternity during a genetics lesson.
Ooh, okay.
I'm a student supplemental instructor
at my university for genetics.
My job basically revolves around reinforcing concepts
already taught by the professor as an optional side course.
Earlier this semester,
while going over parental blood typing,
I got to explaining how having an AB blood type works
as opposed to AO,
half A type A,
or AA, full A type A,
in little genetics punnet squares.
I asked if anyone knew their parents' blood type
to the class and someone raised their hand
and told me that his father is AB
and his mother is type A and that he is type O,
which is impossible.
I went through with the activity for some reason
and ended up having to explain to him
that the only way this can happen is if his mother is AO
and his father was type O, AO, or BO.
He now doesn't know if he's adopted
or if his mom cheated on his dad.
After the session, I walked over
to the genetics professor's office
and confirmed with her that this is impossible
and she said she'd be mortified
to try to tell him the truth behind that
and hoped he was misremembering.
Fast forward to today, a friend of his updated me
and said that he confirmed the blood types
and has kept it to himself
and figured out he wasn't adopted.
I ruined how he sees his mother
and I kinda feel guilty about it.
At least he did well on his exam.
Uh oh.
That has to be like the lamest way
to find out that your mom cheated.
Oh.
Like through science. Yeah. Through science. That has to be like the lamest way to find out that your mom cheated Science
Science through like some genetics that's class. That's
Kind of nuts now that
He knows his mom cheated. Yeah, and his parents don't know that he knows and his dad maybe doesn't even know
So his dad so doesn't even know.
So his dad, so his real dad is a type O probably
or something?
Yeah, or A-O, yeah.
That's the only possibility.
That's crazy, bro.
That's nuts.
Yeah.
That's devastating.
I just wanna know how that question was even posed
of being like like hey mom
Just like wondering like am I adopted?
Like what because he's I think they said
Friend of his updated me and said that he confirmed the blood types and has kept to himself and figured out he wasn't he figured out
He wasn't adopted. Yeah, so he knows that he's his mom's son
But that his mom cheated on his dad.
So he knows that for sure,
but how does he bring that up to his mom?
And will he bring it up to his mom?
I mean.
Yeah, like what are the circumstances?
Do y'all know your blood types?
I believe I'm typo.
I don't know, I might be like AB negative or B negative
or sounds like I'm a negative person.
How do you know it's negative?
I just remember there was a negative.
Oh, there was a negative?
Okay.
I think typo is the most common.
I thought typo was universal donor, is that AB?
I think O is.
I thought A positive was.
I think O is.
We're so far out of biology, man.
Yeah. Oh, I think it is positive was I think we're so far out of biology man. Yeah
Oh, I think it is universal donor, right? I think all of us
If we all band our minds together we can pass a high school biology test
Yeah, depends on who we listen to when we definitely understand blood pretty well
I have blood you have blood. I think so. Okay. I don't know. I've never blood
Nobody has ever struck me I have blood. Do you have blood? I think so. Oh God. I don't know. I've never bled. Whoa.
Nobody has ever struck me.
What would you do if you found out that your blood didn't match your dad?
That'd be crazy, man.
I'm pretty sure it, you know the way I know,
I kind of figured out my blood type before I went and got I donated blood
And that's how I
But my I have my grandpa's dog tags from when he was in Vietnam and it has their blood type on it
Yeah, you know yeah, maybe
Maybe negative
Sometimes the in blood times when you're out blood or you know that tends to happen
So I guess that so I think I'm O-positive.
Oh, like, that's a funny thing,
because your grandpa's name is O-pa.
Yeah.
Oh.
I call him my O-pa.
O-positive, that's what's funny.
Wow.
That's very, that's good.
Some comments here.
I have 100% read this exact story before.
Someone said, because it happens a lot more
than people realize.
Ooh.
And then someone said, exact same thing happened
at my high school.
The curriculum got changed after that.
The kid's parents got divorced.
Someone said, yeah, Mendel's peas seem like a lot safer
subject matter now.
Are you gonna like learn less because they're trying
to like protect people from finding out
that they're not biological?
But it's also the students are maybe getting made fun of
or bullied because they found out that.
That's where I understand in high school,
it's like, oh, you don't wanna be publicly finding out
something, that's respecting people's privacy.
In university though, it's like, hey,
you seriously wanna be a geneticist, I'm sorry, we're not gonna take away
how we do things for that reason.
You're there because you're paying to be there.
It's a little bit of a different thing to me.
And also in university, it doesn't have the same
school dynamic as high school.
Yeah, and everyone's a lot more adult
and a lot more mature in how they handle those things.
And I don't even know how-
I actually bullied more in college
Yeah, it's amazing. You do a semester. Yeah semester. Yeah, he got bullied so hard. You're like I'm done. I'm done, man
I did my bullying. Yeah, he did he specialized in blood bullying
Yeah, so he'd go I go into those I go into those genetic genetics classes and be like all right which one of you is adopted I
Specialized in blood bullying sounds like a build-in Eldon ring
Last comment here, maybe you today
I fucked up more than you think because in fact it is possible to be Oh being one parent AB and the other parent
AA or AO.
And OP said, yikes, I didn't know that.
I went to her office to see if there was any wacky genetics
that could explain it, but just took it at face value
when she said it's impossible.
Should have Googled it, I guess, LOL.
That's nerve wracking if the professors.
Like multiple people who are being paid to teach this stuff
actually were both wrong. I look I don't know
I'm gonna trust our reddit person. Yeah, the random reddit reddit persons like trust me. I know I
Know I I have no idea regardless
I think the hypothetical of if that was revealed because I feel like that's a very realistic thing as someone else said
Yeah, it's just like I feel like it probably happens more than we think
No, that's not happens all the time.
Well, what also is crazy is 23andMe.
How much shit that reveals, it's insane.
What if the student's mom,
like maybe the dad couldn't produce?
And they got sperm donor?
Very possible.
No cheating, Very possible.
No valvulé.
Yeah, you're very right.
Who knows?
Yeah.
Next story.
Today I fucked up by telling a girl she turned me gay.
Okay.
Hell yeah.
I knew it was real.
Don't you hate it when someone turns you gay?
Hey man, you turned me gay.
And I need you to change that back.
Change it back, please, change it back.
All right.
This happened a few hours ago
and my husband keeps teasing me about it.
To clarify, I'm a bisexual guy.
There's a Barnes and Noble
that I frequent semi-regularly.
There's also a cute girl that works there, Megan,
that I had a crush on years ago.
We liked the same books and had a few polite conversations
here and there.
One day I worked up the courage to ask her out
and she gave me her number.
But a few days later she let me down easily
and I didn't go back to that Barnes and Noble for a while.
After the awkwardness wore off, I would go back
and we'd be polite, but there was a bit of tension there.
At least I thought so anyway.
Fast forward a few years and I'm married
to my wonderful husband and Megan still works
at the Barnes and Noble.
I went with my husband to the Barnes and Noble
and Megan was there.
She was busy so I didn't try to have
a conversation with her.
My husband was looking around on the other side
of the store and I was in the manga section.
Don't judge.
I round a corner and almost bump into Megan.
I apologize and we both laugh and have small talk
and talk about one of the few books Sarah J. Moss
is coming out with in January.
At some point she notices my ring and says,
"'Congratulations,' and I say, "'Thank you,'
"'and this is how that conversation goes.'
She says, "'I hope she makes you happy.
"'I hear marriage is tough.'
I respond with, "'He does make me happy.
"'We've only been married a few weeks,
"'dating for a year and things have been smooth.'
She looks at me confused. "'He only been married a few weeks, dating for a year, and things have been smooth.
She looks at me confused.
He?
And here's my fuck up.
I decided to be funny and say,
yeah, when you rejected me,
I thought I'd have more luck on the guy's side,
and I was right, so thank you for turning me.
I laughed, hoping she'd get the sarcasm in my voice,
but she didn't.
She turned red in the face,
and tears welled up in her eyes.
Then she apologized, and pretty much ran away into a side room
before I could tell her that I was joking.
I wanted to wait for her to come out
so I could apologize for the joke,
but after 15 minutes I didn't think she was coming out.
I found my husband and made a hasty retreat to the car
and told him what happened.
He laughed and called me a monster jokingly.
I may need to find a new bookstore.
Edit, this blew up overnight. Apparently it's already on TikTok.
Hasn't even been a full day.
I wasn't expecting this honestly.
To clarify some things, I am a guy.
I am also 24.
Too many people have said, wait, I thought OP was a girl.
I've seen a lot of emotional damage
and D and D references to psychic damage.
While hilarious, it wasn't my intent to hurt her.
Just to make
light of an old situation that I thought she didn't even think about anymore. Also, Megan
and I never dated. We talked for a few days. I asked her out to the county fair, and that's
when she rejected me. She said I was the first person to ask her for her number, and she
was shocked and nervous and decided to give dating a try, but she wasn't comfortable with
dating. I said I understand, and I let it go. I'm not sure if she's dated anyone or if she's asexual.
We're not strangers, we talk whenever I go in
and she's not busy.
She knows my name.
We're not friends but we're friendly.
The joke may have been inappropriate
but I honestly didn't think of it that way.
I'm honestly not upset about her rejecting me.
It happened five years ago.
And no, we're not asking her for a threesome.
You know who you are.
Okay.
Huh?
I think this is funny.
This is, okay, but it's so funny that he came out to her
and then he kept waiting for her to come out.
You know, out of that room, but it's just funny.
Oh, funny.
I think like, man, if I was bi,
I feel like I would use that line on so many people.
Like, be like, yeah, just like,
that's crazy, you turned me gay.
Like, it's such a funny thing,
like, it's weird that she took it so poorly.
Yeah, especially because like, if I were to,
if there was someone that I knew who we even dated
and then they say he, I would be like, oh, that's great.
Like I immediately get it.
But the fact that she was like, he?
And then got tears in her eyes?
It feels like some internal feelings
toward that are there.
But like, I can understand.
Like if you are not super educated
as a woman, you feel that you were just told
you're so unattractive that that person is gay now.
Oh, I see where you're going.
But that is, you shouldn't look at it that way.
You should not look at it, it's not about you at all.
Yeah, and he said, after you rejected me,
I thought I'd have more luck on the guy's side.
Like, he's not saying like, right.
It's weird that he brought up her rejecting him.
Like that kind of puts her in an awkward,
uncomfortable position.
He didn't have to say that.
I think even just being like, yeah, you turned me gay.
Like that's something that like Spencer could probably say
in this office today.
Cause I guess it sounded like he was putting the blame
on her, which I guess I can understand why,
why she would become emotional about that.
But it's such a ridiculous thing that like,
I don't know.
You would have thought they would have had
the rapport at that point.
Yeah, and anyone who knows, it's just like,
yeah, I know you don't turn gay.
Like, I know like, you discovered this about yourself.
Or you, yeah.
For sure, he said himself in the story
that he felt tension sometimes after being rejected.
So clearly like him making a jab at her rejecting him,
that doesn't put a great vibe.
That's true, that's true.
And I'm sure that whole thing really kind of took her aback
regardless of her opinions on it.
It's true, I think, yeah,
we don't know what's going through her head.
We don't know this person that well. It doesn't seem like he knows her that well.
Because they just talk at the Barnes and Noble,
so they have that kind of rapport.
We don't know where her head's at.
She might be someone with a ton of anxiety or whatever.
We don't know why she's crying.
She could be crying just of like,
oh, I hope my rejection didn't hurt you.
Even though I know you're joking, it's like a thing.
Yeah, I mean, it sounds like even dating
was something that she was really nervous
about giving a try.
So she is just a very general nervous person.
Yeah, there could be a lot going on.
I have a more foundational question.
Do people just have a Barnes and Noble person
they just have a rapport with?
Like this is like a coffee shop?
I think, well I mean, if you go to a,
you go to a Barnes and Noble a lot.
Like you love going to a bookstore.
I used to.
Yeah, not so much anymore.
I used to, when I was like an unemployed actor,
and I had nothing to do, I would go to Barnes and Noble
a lot just to hang out.
Like I just like looking at books,
I was buying books all the time.
Yeah.
But I never had a rapport with anyone.
You just never had like a dude you just dap up
and just talk about the next like Jane Austen novel
you guys are excited about?
Yeah, that next one that's coming out,
I hear she's about to come out with a new one.
She's popping off.
Yeah, but I mean, I think if he's a regular there,
I mean there is like coffee shops in some of them,
maybe like, I don't know.
But I mean, I definitely at one point
was going to a Starbucks to do school work a lot
and I had a rapport with the baristas,
but I think that's more common.
I think so, yeah.
That's why I never heard of like a Barnes and Noble
like rapport. Yeah.
They're smaller locations.
But maybe he just, maybe it's not like all the time, but just when he went there
He was interested in her so she she did talk so he did ask her out
So then it was like so maybe he's talking like every couple months. He sees her it is
Yeah, there's an argument to be made that bringing up a rejection from five years prior regardless is
awkward I
Think overall this is funny though. Yeah
Yeah is awkward. I think overall this is funny though. Yeah.
Yeah, I think if they truly had a good rapport
and she knew him better,
it would have been a better reaction.
Yeah, he could have maybe,
depending on if I saw this rapport in person,
he could have gone in a little bit more
about his relationship first,
being like, yeah, we've been married for five years,
he's so great, this stuff.
Yeah, after your rejection,
like maybe after that, but he did it so quickly
that it's, I don't know, she might've just come across,
she might've just felt like, oh, you don't like me.
Like, not that I believe your story,
just, oh, you actually don't like me.
That might've been what it was a little bit.
Some comments, some comments.
It was a pretty funny joke.
Obviously she didn't react to it well,
but I imagine you can clear it up if you see her again.
OP said, I may need some time before I go back
with like a laughing, sweating emoji.
Someone responded, honestly, I wouldn't wait.
Something might have happened to her in the meantime
and she linked your joke with something and that hurt her.
I would really try to talk to her
to understand why she reacted like that.
It might lead to a good friendship
if that's something you'd like.
Else just to clear things up
because something clearly didn't work.
Someone else said, probably she's really lonely
is my guess.
OP responded, when I asked her for her number, she said I was the first one to ever ask so maybe you're right
Yeah
I think I have the solution
I mean he's having trouble going back to Barnes & Noble. He should just get her fired
Then like problem solved tell her her her dad's blood type.
Call, talk to her manager and be like,
I don't think she can read, dude.
I don't think she can read.
No, no, no.
I think, you know, this happens sometimes.
You ever, have you ever experienced this
where you try to riff with somebody
and then it just,
Oh yeah.
Like it just doesn't work.
So I think that's clearly what happened.
I think there are some instances where you,
like if it's someone that you genuinely care
about their feelings, go back and make sure things are okay.
Doesn't sound like they have a rapport
where he needs to really like go out of his way.
Like that just feels like, there's just certain dynamics.
Like, it's okay.
Like we're all adults here.
Let's just keep it truckin'.
We're gonna be all right.
You didn't turn him gay.
Yeah.
We don't know that.
Well, he can just go up to her and be like, look.
He was born.
He can go up to her and be like, look, I'm sorry,
I was joking, you didn't turn me gay.
I'm not gay.
I'm just married to a man and we have sex
and we just do it, you know, just cause I, you know.
He said he was bisexual.
Poor lady.
I don't think he needs to avoid her.
Yeah.
If I'm him, it's like, don't go out,
I don't think he needs to go out of his way to talk to her,
but I think he shouldn't fear going back
and if he sees her he can just be like,
oh I'm sorry about that joke by the way.
Like.
I'd be like, by the way, that was totally.
By the way, I've always been bisexual and.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think also like, there's also just a lot of stigma
with bi men, so she was probably initially thrown off
by that. Totally.
That too, that too.
And like was probably just in her head
regarding that factor as well.
Yeah, there's also the...
She was like, he?
I'm overthinking this, I'm overthinking this.
I'm just digging into this.
She's talking about how like,
oh, he's the only man to ever ask her out, right?
The first person to ever ask her out is her story.
To ask for her number in general.
She's like, doesn't even date.
She was like, oh, I'm thinking about dating,
and then she rejected him.
She seems like she really has a lot of fears there.
But in this case, what he told her is,
oh, I'm gay, like, you know, stuff.
And she's probably thinking like,
oh, so you were never even actually into me maybe,
like, I just wonder what's going on there, you know?
It may be different.
He didn't tell her he was gay.
He said I decided to try.
He said he'd turn me gay.
I decided to try.
Thanks for turning me gay, I guess.
Yeah.
Oh, he did say that?
I thought he said I just decided to try, man.
Yeah, when you rejected me,
I thought I'd have more luck on the guy's side,
and I was right, so thank you for turning me.
So she doesn't know he's bi, like, she doesn't,
they didn't have a full-on conversation here.
So I'm just thinking, like, I could see a retroactive,
if you ever date someone, and I feel like this is common,
where you date someone and then you later find out, like,
oh, they weren't straight or whatever, and you go,
oh, so were they, like, am I attractive?
Am I, were they actually in communion I attractive? Were they actually intimate?
So it just probably, probably was a lot of information
for her.
Yeah, I think I've experienced this
where when I was younger, I dated a boy
and then he turned out to be gay.
I don't know if you've experienced that,
but it's like, when you're educated on the situation,
it's not an insulting thing.
It's really not.
People are just figuring themselves at their own paces.
I think if this story wasn't I'm an asshole
is definitely like a no assholes here.
Totally, totally.
No, I hope at some point he talks to her
and they just like, be like hey, chill.
If they bump into each other again,
being like hey by the way, that was supposed to be this,
I'm sorry.
Right.
Like I'm happy, I hope you're happy.
Yeah.
And for the record, all the men that I've dated,
I knew they were gay.
Okay, good to know.
Thank you.
Good to know.
That was really good.
That was a dumb joke.
No, I liked it.
Our next story.
Today I fucked up by drugging the bartender
and ruining a wedding.
Jesus.
Okay.
Yeah, so this fuck up happened the summer before COVID,
but I think the statute of limitations are up
so I can tell this story.
They're not.
Uh, my wife and I went to her colleague's wedding.
I'm not a huge drinker and I didn't really know anyone,
so my plan was to grab some sort of cold,
refreshing beverage and find somewhere to post up
and nurse it while I got really stoned
and did some people watching, Which leads me to my drugs.
On the way to the wedding, I stopped at a dispensary and picked up a reusable vape pen
thing.
I'm a pretty traditional smoker.
I go to the place and I buy an eighth and smoke it in my ancient bowl over the course
of the next month or two.
I'd never had a pen before.
It was just like I'm going to a wedding and want something that won't make me sleepy or
mentally handicapped and the young woman at the counter handed me the thing.
As my wife was driving us over, I tried it out.
I also don't smoke very much at any one time
and have a hard time with anything
like joints or bongs, et cetera.
When I do smoke these things, they hit way too hard
and I cough like crazy and hate myself.
So I took a very small hit, noticed it hit really hard,
and thought, well, that's because you think
everything hits too hard.
Bada bing, bada boom, I'm at the reception,
standing in line to grab some drinks from the bartender
and notice the tip jar.
Realizing I don't have any cash, I'm like,
dude, do you have Venmo or something?
I know, LOL.
And he's like, don't even worry about it, man,
it's no big deal.
But I'm a service industry vet,
so I wanted to find a way to tip him
because I know it's gonna be a long night and a lot of people won't tip. So I'm like, don't worry about it, man, it's no big deal. But I'm a service industry vet, so I wanted to find a way to tip him because I know it's gonna be a long night
and a lot of people won't tip.
So I'm like, all right, man, well,
if my wife has some cash or I'll double back over,
but in the meantime, if you party,
and I show him the pen, he's like, oh, for real?
Hell yeah, dude.
And he proceeds to take an enormous puff on this thing.
Within seconds, he was doubling over
and coughing uncontrollably.
It was incredibly loud and in under a minute,
he was down on his hands and knees,
behind the bar, puking in the grass.
Still, kind of no harm, no foul,
until he gets up and puts all of his weight
onto a tumbler glass that was sitting on the table
he used to help himself up,
cutting his hand open so, so badly.
And then something very interesting happened,
something that had never happened before.
I started vomiting at the sight of the blood.
So naturally, this is pretty disruptive,
and the groom, who just so happened to be nearby,
comes over to see what's going on,
and fucking faints the second he sees this guy's hand.
Oh no!
Smashing his head on the bar slash table on the way down,
his face taking the tablecloth
and everything on the table down with him.
This is a rom-com.
Yeah.
Totally unmitigated disaster,
both of them had to go to the hospital
and the bride was understandably super upset
and screaming at the caterers.
So I decided, well, it's been a good life
and began to march over to explain to her what happened
when out of her mouth comes a series of very specific slurs
directed at the owner of the catering company.
I didn't get a single word out of my mouth
before she said, fucking sue me,
turned on her heel and told her people
to just round their shit up and go.
Q made your shit storm.
Everyone is fighting with everyone
and almost all of the guests left.
I told my wife what happened on the drive home
and she said I should call the catering company
and apologize, which I did.
And the owner laughed for about 30 seconds
on the phone before saying,
well, whatever, fuck that bitch.
Oh!
So, yeah.
Edit, I actually think it was a wine glass.
Okay, good to know.
Yeah.
This was a Rube Goldberg machine that led to racism.
Yeah, yeah.
Or, so racism or homophobia.
We're not sure which phobia led to.
Wow.
So the TLDR is, got my bartender high,
bada bing, bada boom.
Slurred.
The ride is racist.
Okay, so my takeaway is this,
this is the universe needed a moment, you know?
And this OP happened to be the vehicle, okay?
And I'm just like, as long as the catering company
was okay, because that sucks,
they wouldn't want the bartender to lose their job,
da da da da da.
This is bada bing bada boom.
This chain of events exposed the bride
for being a POS, sounds like.
And...
Yeah, you know, everything happens for a reason.
Yeah.
I like to think how I'm imagining this is the
groom fell over, hits the table,
and then a marble rolls and then it hits a thing
and it starts to blow up a balloon that pops
and then a race car goes along the track.
That's crazy, bro.
It's just nuts, man.
And like, there's definitely no excuse for slurs.
I wanna preface that.
No, we at Smosh deliver that message.
I think it's obviously a very high stress time
and yeah, I could see why there would be
an explosion of emotions.
I think it went the wrong way.
Yeah, I don't understand why.
Why was she yelling at the caterers
for the bartender getting sick?
And like, if I were to like just throw up
and then it caused someone else to get her,
I'm like, I'm a demon now?
Like, you know, like it just seems,
it just seems like she got mad in the wrong direction,
in the wrong way.
Also the guy like sustained like a serious injury.
Yeah.
And you're gonna cuss him out, like help the guy.
Yeah, exactly.
No, I understand her emotion.
I understand being devastated and stuff.
It's still like she did kind of,
in those moments is when you reveal who you are
and she did. Yes, exactly.
But I'm just laughing at this guy's perspective
where he sees this whole chain of events happen
and then he sees it disrupt into chaos
and then everyone leaves and he's just like, okay.
Yeah, all because of a freaking tank of a vape pen.
It's literally that scene from Dumb and Dumber
when they accidentally kill the owl
and they're just like, damn, this party died.
Yeah, bro.
I ultimately think this comes down to, you know,
the bartender shouldn't have been smoking weed on the job.
I also think it's a little bit weird
that why was OP trying so hard to like, like...
Guilt.
Yeah, like if you ask for a Venmo,
I think that's really nice of you,
and then if they're like, don't worry about it, man,
and like being like, okay, well, if my wife has something,
that's where it can end. You don if they're like, don't worry about it, man. And like being like, okay, well, if I, if my wife has something, that's where it can end.
You don't need to offer drugs to the bartender.
Also the way he offered it was the most fed question ever.
Do you party?
Do you party, dude?
If you party, let me know.
And then him, I'm surprised that the bartender was like,
sick, yeah.
Like everybody was fully, had a moment to say no.
Like wild. Comments, crazy all of that could have been avoided Like everybody was fully, had a moment to say no.
Like wild. Comments, crazy all of that could have been avoided
if you just had a dollar in your pocket.
For real, for real.
Whenever you're going to a wedding or any event,
bring some cash, bring cash.
Someone said, OP is a deity of pure chaos.
Use a vape to nearly kill two men
while ruining a wedding, what a legend.
OP responded, I think I already said it in another comment,
but my wife likes to joke around
about how I'd be a really good assassin.
Someone said, I was an event bartender in college.
I asked my manager why we were allowed
to serve every kind of liquor
except for tequila at wedding receptions.
And she told me that a few years back,
before I started, she worked her first wedding.
Her reception was fine, people were drunk,
but it was average wedding drunk,
until the best man barrels in and starts mocking the groom
for not knowing that he, the best man,
banged her, the bride, before the couple got together.
Groom is pissed, the bride hears commotion and comes over
and starts accusing the best man of lying.
Best man loses it and decides the best course of action
is to punch the bride in the face so hard
that she flew into the table behind her.
Bride went to the hospital and I'm assuming he was arrested.
But when the couple came down the next day
to leave for their honeymoon,
she had two black eyes and a massive bandage
on her broken nose.
Oh my goodness.
So yeah, we stopped serving tequila at weddings after that.
Boom.
What in the world?
Come on, it's not tequila. It's just alcohol.
You just know you blacklist the person who punched a woman.
Yeah, though that's a person who's going to prison.
Yeah, yeah.
Hopefully.
I hate when people make an exception for tequila.
They're like,
I remember I was talking to some older lady.
She was like,
oh, tequila makes my pants fall off.
I can't have that.
What in the world?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
See, it's like, I would be curious of like,
what if a bartender or any kind of company could monitor
and be like, hey, these nights when we sold more tequila,
more bullshit happened, like statistically,
just like hospitals, how they,
it's statistically proven that like the emergency room
is way more crazy on a full moon. I think because people tend to do shots of tequila, that would be my guess
There have been studies on what alcohol does is it elevates whatever situation you are in
So in a lot of places, you know people are at a quiet pub like drinking
It's not going to just it's not gonna cause chaos every time. But yeah, it's like what?
It's not going to cause chaos every time. But yeah, it's like what situations
are people drinking tequila in,
as opposed to drinking wine?
Like, people get wine drunk,
but you're in a setting where you're all quiet and,
you know, whatever.
But people are drinking tequila in situations
that are chaotic often.
Weddings, and they tend to be prone for that.
Like when we did our family reception,
we didn't have any hard alcohol,
just because we were like, that's not our vibe.
That's just not the vibe. Yeah, Yeah. I think liquor in general is dangerous because you get drunk quick. Yes
And so you're not it's not a slow thing
Yeah, here's our next story today

Back to the show.
Fucked up by putting inane shit as my Venmo memo
and having it read out loud in open court.
Huh, okay.
Posting for my alt,
because I'm a whole ass business professional
and am mortified by my stupidity.
Today I fucked up by putting stupid inane shit
as the memo for my Venmo transactions.
Well, actually these transactions
are spread out over two years. My older brothers and I try to say the most out of pocket stuff with my Venmo transactions. Well, actually these transactions are spread out over two years.
My older brothers and I try to say the most
out of pocket stuff with our Venmo payments
to try to get a laugh.
Everyone does this, right?
It's harmless, it's silly, until you file bankruptcy
and have to meet with a trustee in open court
who asks about payments made to friends and family.
I answer honestly, yes, I've paid friends and family
for various reasons.
I provided my Venmo transaction history to you.
He says, oh, let me check my records.
So begins a very, very long pause.
I just know he's sifting through the fan favorites,
which include but are not limited to,
for the discoloration of your butthole flaps,
PP Tom, for the soiled adult diaper auction,
butt plugs and electric shock rods,
DVD, black studs, white moms, your bitch tits.
Remember that time you shit in the backyard
for your mother last night, kissing hands and shaking babies.
I'm bright red sinking down in my chair.
You're loving these.
My lawyer looks at me puzzled.
Clearly she didn't read these in depth.
Why am I such an immature, stupid fuck?
That's crazy.
I would never think of that.
But yeah, like.
They're private usually.
Yeah, but you have to reveal all of that.
Those are insane.
In a bankruptcy.
Those are insane.
So is he gonna have to actually figure out
what those payments actually were?
Yeah.
That's such a pain.
Can you remember a Venmo you made two months ago?
Well, if you title them properly,
that's easy. That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, I only do actual transactions,
like a tattoo or things with like an actual description,
but everything else I put like two emojis.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel so dumb like actually saying what it is.
I'll do like, oh, I guess maybe I'll do like a food emoji
or something.
Yeah, like the emojis are always like what it was.
Like it has to do with it, but damn.
That's rough. Maybe that's bad.
That, this guy's screwed.
Damn, I gotta get better at my Venmo comedy.
Some comments.
Honestly, they were to my brother.
I didn't think anyone else would see it.
Fully explains everything.
I agree.
11,000 upvotes on that.
Someone said, could have been worse.
Twice I've had Venmo payments flagged by the Secret Service.
Once sending money to a coworker who covered the bill
at a Cuban restaurant in Los Angeles.
Oh God.
Got flagged as Money to Cuba.
Another time my roommate sent me money
for the electric bill and put in Al Qaeda dirty bomb
as the comment.
Jeez.
It's funny to me because it's something
I can see myself doing and not realizing it could get me in trouble.
Jesus.
Money to ISIS.
That's what I was thinking.
That was my first thought was that it was gonna be ISIS.
God, just ISIS.
Someone said, as a bankruptcy attorney,
there's no way in hell that I would have kept
a straight face in court.
But for what it's worth, we see worse.
Don't sweat it.
Yeah, they see actual bad payments.
Yeah, yeah.
Those but real.
Damn.
Yeah, I guess it's just tough
because don't those descriptions help
like whether those were dodgy business transactions or not?
Probably depends on the amounts.
Probably.
If they're small amounts and it's like,
okay, we can probably.
But if you said, then it's like, okay, we can probably, but if it's like, if it's more than 500 bucks,
and it's like some ridiculous thing,
it's like, they're gonna probably wanna know
what that was.
Yeah, and it's not butt plugs.
Yeah, unless it's a lot of them, who knows?
Unless he was running a butt plug business,
that he's filing for bankruptcy.
Which is totally fine.
So apparently someone did some research
and clocked that one of the Venmo payments
was remember that time you shit in the backyard.
OP actually had a Reddit post from when that happened.
It was today I fucked up by going poo
in the backyard in the rain.
Oh my God.
So that Venmo request was real,
which makes me believe that all the rest are real.
Incredible.
As well.
True, okay.
All right, moving on, this next one, this title rocks.
I'm excited for this one.
Today I fucked up by sitting through my friend's orgy.
Sitting through?
Sitting through my friend's orgy. And through? Sitting through my friend's orgy.
And so you fucked up by doing that?
Yeah, I fucked up by sitting through my friend's orgy.
Okay.
Okay.
So yesterday my friends, two couples plus one single guy,
and I went to brunch to go day drinking.
And we ended up drinking a lot.
It was all you can drink mimosas brought out
with the big old bottle of champagne
and orange juice slash cranberry juice,
and they really stayed on top of bringing more out.
As a group, we typically drink a lot
when we do go out on weekends,
but not so early in the day.
Or at least, if we do start early, it's way more paced,
not against the clock of when brunch ends.
We did also eat brunch, but still,
it was a crazy amount of drinking
in a short amount of time.
We ended up back at my friend's place, who was way more drunk than I usually see him,
like on the verge of falling asleep, and he was laying down on the couch.
I honestly can't remember what started everything off.
I think it might have just been relatively normal when my friend and his girlfriend started kissing,
and the other couple was kissing.
Although as couples, they've both never been big on public displays, at least in front of me.
The other girl has always been fairly open.
I've heard stories of her getting naked
in front of the group, et cetera, before.
Eventually the two girls kissed,
and then my friend slash his girlfriend
were making out hot and heavy, and he was feeling her up.
The other girl was kissing her boyfriend
while the single guy was fingering her,
which led to him eating her out.
Anyway, without going into too many more details.
That escalated.
Without going into too many details here, guys.
Also just the fifth wheel just be like, shoop.
Kinda crazy.
Without going into too many more details,
my fuck up was that I had drank too much
to just leave to drive home.
And my car was there, so I couldn't really Uber home
and just leave my car without it being a huge ordeal.
And I didn't know what else to do but watch.
At one point, at one point the other girl encouraged me
to jump in but I declined saying my own girlfriend
wasn't there to say it was okay or join in herself.
We were supposed to go to the pool to continue partying
so part of me was hoping this would all end
and we'd move on to the pool like nothing happened.
But I was just kind of shocked at it all
and was watching it all go down drunk in awe
and certain points going on my phone.
That's awesome.
Certain points going on just like.
Oh my God, don't take your phone on Drunken Artie!
Just playing Candy Crush.
The way my friend's house is,
there was nowhere else to really go that guests would go,
so I couldn't go to a different room and watch TV.
I kinda feel weird about it now,
I was a creep in the room or something,
even though I waited as long as I thought I needed to
and there was nothing else for me to do,
just walk around randomly outside, drunk,
to finally safely leave and drive home.
That's the end?
That's the end.
Bro. Wow.
No, no, no, mister.
Yeah.
First of all, I don't believe this story happened,
but I think this is a lie to some degree.
I feel like this is something that I could get myself into.
I definitely, okay, actually I say it's a lie. I say it's a lie to some degree. I feel like this is something that I could get myself into. I definitely, okay, actually I say it's a lie.
I say it's a lie.
I think it's not a lie, but I think this guy
is lying to himself as to why he couldn't leave the room.
Yeah, I think so.
If you were genuinely uncomfortable or like,
I've never been in an orgy, so I don't know.
But like, you can go, they're going into an orgy!
You're allowed to go in another bedroom
and sit somewhere if you're uncomfortable
or want to give them privacy, and you can walk outside.
This is worth it.
Yeah, you can definitely go outside.
I think he was probably enjoying watching.
I think he's making up his excuses and being like,
well, I felt like a creep.
It's like, yeah, maybe, but you chose that life.
And he was drunk.
He was very drunk, so his logic's not all there.
I do think it's a little fucked up
that everyone just did this.
Yeah.
Because it is kind of like a consenting situation.
Very much so.
And when you just start doing that in front of people,
you are kind of like...
With no communication whatsoever.
But they are all super drunk.
Because from what I've heard,
from what people have described,
orgies, the way that they start and the way they operate
is honestly kind of like very,
like massive amounts of communication.
Right.
Like you need to set that shit up.
Sign on.
This is a bunch of drunk people
who just were doing drunk things
yeah, but
It's a little fucked up. I
Feel bad for the guy. I also am like if I'm this guy's girlfriend
I'm gonna be extremely uncomfortable. Yeah, for him being like what she's not here to tell me
It's okay to join in so you're gonna stay and watch, but still being involved. And not even texting,
not even saying that he's texted her or called her.
Yeah, but like, hey.
I'd go, I can tell you exactly
what I would do in this situation.
As soon as it like,
before it got to anywhere near where it was,
I'd be like, I'm gonna step outside
and I would call you and I'd be like,
I think an orgy is happening in there.
Yeah. Yeah.
Orgy is beginning. As soon as two couples start making out, I'm like, this is not in there. I think an orgy is beginning.
As soon as two couples start making out,
I'm like, this is not the room I should be in.
Like that is simply.
You know what actually proves your point?
Okay, you have your car there.
Call your girlfriend, tell her to Uber there,
and you both leave with your car.
He's not trying.
But he talked about how they thought
they were gonna go to the pool later, so.
They're not going to the pool.
You never know.
You never know. You never know.
Do you think like every five minutes he's like,
hey guys, when are we going to the pool?
They're like, I feel like you're just here
for the pool later.
He's sitting there in his swim trunks
and floaties on his arms.
I'm ready when you guys are.
Yeah.
I think there was definitely like,
yeah, they're like, I'm sure everyone in that room
was consenting, but the issue is this guy's girlfriend,
she wasn't looped into this.
Well, let's talk about enthusiastic consent.
This OP, he declined being involved,
but then there was someone who was so drunk
that they were falling asleep.
That's true. It's a very sketchy situation. Klein being involved, but like, and then there was someone who was so drunk that they were falling asleep, like that's, it's-
It's a very sketchy situation.
Yeah, so I mean, and it's like,
maybe these people were so drunk
and this has never happened before,
and like, so there was a lot of like,
weird, wild things going on.
But you know, if we're talking, if this is about OP,
and we're talking about OP, like,
I think he was trying to like to backpedal and explain himself
as to why this was all okay,
but I definitely would think
that the girlfriend would be upset.
Totally, I think she has every right to be upset.
Yeah, because I think OP might be a little freak,
which is okay, but he needs to obtain consent
for that kind of stuff.
I think it's a very upsetting situation
because even though you didn't physically take part in it,
you're kind of a part of it by sitting there.
No, he is a part of it.
Yeah, you're a part of it.
So he's gonna call his partner and be like,
hey, so I kind of was part of this thing.
It's gonna be very uncomfortable.
If I'm her, I'm probably breaking up with him.
Well, and his explaining to me,
it just sounds like he's trying to say
he had no other choice.
But because he was saying they had plans
that they were gonna continue later,
he didn't have a way to get home.
But as an adult, you have a lot of ways
to get out of that situation.
And so yeah, I think him saying today I fucked up
by sitting through means like he fucked up
and doing this kind of to his girlfriend.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
Like.
I just think like, if you really want to get out
of a situation, you can get out of a situation.
Right, and there are kosher ways to be in the situation
as you're saying, like, but like, what do you,
like you can go outside, I'm pretty sure that
as these people are having an orgy in the living room
You're allowed to go into the main bedroom and and have a little sit like it's okay
I'd be leaving but but yeah, but you know, I'd be straight. Maybe he's a little freak
He wanted to be there but like don't lie to yourself buddy. Exactly. Yeah, I mean like
But even if you're a little freak you need to use communication
Yeah, you're a little set, you need to use communication. Yeah, you're a little freak.
This situation needs to be set up.
Yeah.
Because also the next day,
amongst these people who are very drunk,
it could cause a shit storm where one of them's like,
I actually did not wanna do this.
And then it's, then you were there,
and now you're also part of it.
Like, I think you get out of that situation
for safety reasons.
Yeah, and like I do think, so was the friend that was so drunk
that they were falling asleep,
did they wake up and get involved?
Was that it? That was the fifth wheel.
That was the fifth wheel, okay.
It's so funny to be like, what's going on?
What?
I mean, I think if that started happening,
I would also wake up.
Yeah, I think so.
That would sober me up real quick.
Like, comments.
Orgy going on in front of him and he's thinking,
does this mean we're not going swimming?
Yeah.
Someone said, could have been like a corner man,
encouraging, giving water, a towel,
maybe some ice to cool down and some strategy.
Yeah.
Someone said, I remember a time when we went to,
someone said, I remember a time where we went
to Niagara Falls and I went back to the hotel early.
I'm in bed watching Family Guy and my friend comes
in with the girl and goes to the other bed.
I make a joke and they start fucking.
My other buddy was walking around the hotel waiting
for them to finish and I'm just hanging out in my bed
while they're laughing and watching Family Guy.
I was later asked, why didn't you leave?
Simple response, I was there first, I'm not leaving.
Bro, come on.
Please, then talk about it.
Don't wait, Jesus Christ, these people,
they will do everything but walk out of a room
that people are having sex in.
I mean, it was Family Guy.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
No, it's all messy, it's all messy.
No, but it definitely didn't sound like,
like what I've heard about orgies
that are like more organized,
like there's a lot more communication
and it's not like this like anarchy, like sex anarchy.
Yeah.
It's like people are like communicating
and like talking about like,
hey, I wanna try this, let's try this.
Like it's very, so I don't know,
this all sounded like it was very on the fly
and people just were not thinking clearly. Yeah, and I mean like, and I too have never been
doing orgy, but I know at like, you know, parties,
sex parties, like you have to obtain consent to watch.
Enthusiastic consent.
Like, if you're gonna, like you can't just show up
and just be like.
Yeah bro, it's weird.
Yeah, this is messy as hell.
Anyways, moving on from that one.
Today I fucked up by putting tampons in wrong for 10 years.
What?
Sideways.
Well.
Okay.
I feel so embarrassed.
I, a 23 year old woman, have had my period
for more than 10 years now,
and I just learned from a Reddit post of all places
that you are not supposed to just shove the whole thing,
applicator and all, up there and then leave it like that.
Oh no!
I have a biochemistry degree.
I have traveled the world,
and yet somehow I have never figured this one out.
This is my first and probably last Reddit post
because I cannot keep my horror at the fact that
I've been keeping pieces of plastic in my vagina for ten years inside
But I absolutely cannot fathom telling anyone I know about this
I have always thought that tampons were super uncomfortable for reasons that are now glaringly obvious and mostly used pads
But I love swimming and so I use tampons fairly frequently during the summer.
Oh man.
As best as I can figure,
I have used hundreds of tampons in this way.
I have been scouring my brain,
but I don't think that anyone ever told me about this,
despite the multiple wildly uncomfortable health classes
I had to take in grade school.
The worst part is that I knew the plastic bit
was called the applicator.
I just figured that was because it made putting it in easier and you were just supposed to leave it in
Thank you redditors for listening and I can only hope that this horrifying blunder of mine will convince you to explain very clearly to your
Children how tampons work. Yeah, this is why we need sex
Education. Yeah, like yourself. You don't know what you don't know like I
I was just telling stories the other day
about like even though I had three older sisters,
I was so under educated and learned a lot of things
way too late or like even when there was opportunities
to learn like the communication around it was so unhealthy
and not normal that like you just don't learn shit.
So I feel, I very much feel for this person
and they shouldn't be so hard on themselves.
I've seen a lot of Reddit posts by nurses
talking about the shocking things they see
where people come in pregnant
or just in regards to questions they're asking about sex
where it's like, wow, you really genuinely didn't know.
Like I've heard stories where they were like, they thought they couldn't get pregnant if they weren't know. Like I've heard stories where they're like,
they thought they couldn't get pregnant
if they weren't married.
Like they thought that it didn't work
unless they were married.
Like it's shocking.
And it's hard to believe when you are someone
who has had any general education on it,
or at least in like through time.
But there are people out
there who truly are it's it's so kept away from them you know it's like they
teach abstinence they teach abstinence and then they're not gonna teach you
anything else because the whole idea is just don't have sex no and it's so
unfortunate that like you don't choose where you're born you're placed into a
school system that you're like you are told to trust the people who have the authority over you,
you're supposed to trust what they're teaching you,
and then you are out in the world as an adult
doing those things, and like,
it sucks that you have to, as an adult,
be vigilant and be like, well,
certain things might not have been right,
I need to like, look into certain things for myself.
Like, that sucks to live in a world like that.
And sometimes you don't even know to look for those things.
Exactly, you don't know what you don't know.
Because there's like so much stigma around it
that nobody's gonna ever talk about it.
And also people are certain they're right.
So they don't think they need to
because they're like, oh yeah, I know.
And even though they don't.
And it's like the shame of like being afraid
of asking a question that makes you look stupid.
Like I was always, it was so disappointing as a student
when teachers would like react to a question
as if it was stupid.
Like one day I heard a substitute being like,
there's no such thing as a stupid question.
And that stuck with me for like till today.
Damn.
Comments on this.
In OP's defense, I've had a ton of instances of going,
wait, this isn't how everyone else experiences random thing.
In my case, I thought apples genuinely caused extreme gum,
mouth, and throat discomfort to everyone,
and I was just a big old baby for not being able
to push through it and like apples like everyone else.
At 26 years of age, in a college class,
someone overheard me commiserating with someone else
about the itch and yelled,
did you know that means you have an allergy?
Why no, no I didn't.
In retrospect, it explains a lot, LMAO.
So yeah, fully possible to assume
that the normal tampon experience
is very slippy and uncomfortable.
My experience with them was really itchy and uncomfortable.
OP never used the tampon instructions
as bathroom reading material.
I never thought to try organic tampons.
Both of us have a oh shit moment embarrassingly late
in life that no, most people do not in fact
have that experience with tampons.
RIP OP.
Do you guys have anything like that?
Some of that you know?
I know a big one on TikTok was people realizing
their air filters, like the filter on the inside
was still wrapped in plastic.
Oh yeah.
Like for when you got it shipped.
Oh yeah, I've seen that.
And they take it out and they're like,
I've used this thing for two years
and it's been wrapped in plastic this whole time.
Yeah.
Not realizing, a lot of times with appliances
and things realizing.
Yeah, or like realizing that you can take out
a part of an AC unit and like wash it under the sink,
let it dry and put it back in.
Yeah.
I didn't know balls were supposed to be on the outside.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Wow, you get to keep, you get to hide yours.
Yeah, I've just been keeping them up inside the whole time.
There you go.
You've been tucking.
Yeah.
Amazing.
I've told this one before.
I don't know what age I was, but it was like later.
Like I was maybe like eight to 10 years old.
And for the, like I vividly remember as like a child,
I thought everyone had a penis.
Oh yeah, my brother had one.
I remember my brother had a poster of Cindy Crawford,
or wait is that, yeah, from the 90s.
Her in a swimsuit, and I remember looking at it,
and looking at like-
Where's the penis?
Looking at the crotch region being like,
that's crazy, like, where is her penis?
Like, that's strange that it's odd to me.
So I remember that.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Other comments, this is why tampons come with instructions.
I'm honestly impressed they still did the job.
Yeah, like did she go 10 years going like,
damn, why don't tampons work for me very well?
That's what I was wondering.
I guess she figured it worked good enough the first time.
Yeah, maybe, because like the way I'm seeing it
is the applicator was used,
but then so it was still like the cotton and is the applicator was used, but then, so it was still like the cotton
and then the applicator like this.
So it was just like a cork.
Oof.
But like not a very functioning cork.
Yikes.
But that sucks.
Lastly, someone said, if it makes you feel any better,
my partner used to just put the tampon horizontal on there,
not inside at all.
Oh, just like she was like sitting on a.
Oh.
Just lay like just, yeah.
That's funny.
She was also a swimmer, so I don't know
how she didn't figure it out, to be honest.
Someone said like a hot dog.
Yeah, like just sitting on a hot dog.
I think if you're an athlete, if you're like a really,
like if you're a swimmer, if you're like really,
really active, you're really late periods.
So it's very possible that it just was never a problem.
Yeah, I am now, nowadays I'm very obsessed whenever I,
and I mean there's nothing really comparable to this,
but whenever I get anything new or with anything I'm doing,
I love to be like, research exactly how to do it properly.
Like I do look through instructions on things.
Yeah, sometimes it's just like,
sometimes descriptions just aren't specific enough
where it's like, even if she knew like to use it,
she never saw like something that said like,
make sure to take the applicator out or something,
like who knows.
The obvious things that sometimes get overlooked.
Over time too.
All right, it's time for our last story
and this title is awesome.
Hell yeah.
Today I fucked up by showing my dick
to my wife's grandparents.
Oh boy.
Okay.
Well, what'd they say?
Well, was it a nice dick?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Well, her grandparents were having an orgy.
And...
No.
No.
Okay.
So my wife and I have a very lighthearted relationship
and I like to joke around all the time with her
and make her laugh.
I do dumb things all the time to make her roll her eyes
and call me an idiot jokingly.
I was outside barbecuing with headphones on
while sipping a beer and listening to music.
I look over and see my wife walking outside,
holding her phone up, obviously recording me,
or taking a pic.
I instinctively pulled my shorts down
and started doing the helicopter.
She immediately looked mortified
and turned around quickly and went back inside.
I was very confused at her face,
so I finished flipping burgers quickly.
Then went inside to find her with her head in her hands
on the couch with her face red. I asked her what was wrong and she told me she was video chatting with her grandparents, which
Which she never did before and showing them around our home and showing them me barbecuing
I have never I have never met them before and have only seen pictures
Oh say I'm embarrassed is an understatement.
Oh my God, but like, did he laugh?
Maybe they have bad vision, maybe they didn't know.
Maybe it's bad wifi since she was coming out,
maybe the pixels were so low.
Yeah, the brightness.
I imagine that she was just like zoomed in
and she was like on the grill zooming in
and then like down to the.
Wok wok wok wok wok wok.
Wok wok wok wok wok.
Wow.
Like a hot dog.
That is probably the worst way to display a penis
to somebody for the first time.
Oh boy.
Just a full on helicopter, wow.
Damn.
Geez.
Have y'all ever done that?
Shown my leaner to my.
Well there's no other way to barbecue.
Helicopter dick to someone as a display.
Sure, of course.
Yeah.
But not.
That's how you scare away mountain lions.
That's how you scare away, hey bear!
Hey bear!
Hey bear.
It's how you get mosquitoes away from the food.
Yeah, they think it's a dragonfly whipping around. If you're stranded on a lake on a boat, it's how you get mosquitoes away from the food. Yeah, they think it's a dragonfly whipping around.
If you're stranded on a lake on a boat, it's how you...
Yeah!
Like in The Incredibles when he's...
They actually teach this all in sex ed.
Yeah.
This is why sex ed is so important.
All the valuable ways to use your penis.
That's how you do it.
Yeah.
Impressive.
Some comments.
Assuming they were video chatting on a phone. They probably couldn't see much anyway
Someone said asserting dominance one meet at a time and someone someone else said did they approve?
Did they approve did they approve?
That suits my that suits our daughter. I'm assuming because of the wife's reaction that
Maybe they the problem is with old people like maybe they just didn, it came across like they were just trying to ignore it,
but maybe they were genuinely just confused.
Yeah, because sometimes when you're FaceTiming grandparents,
they're not even looking at the screen at the time.
It's just, you kinda see their eyes a little bit,
and it takes them way longer
to look at other stuff on the screen.
They're probably there being like, oh, that's nice,
and so she doesn't realize they maybe had no idea.
Yeah, and yeah, like maybe the wifi,
the pixels weren't ideal.
Yeah, that's the hope.
She can just tell them she got hacked.
Yeah.
Like it was a deep fake.
That was AI.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And let's go, oh, okay, what's AI?
Yeah.
Damn. Wow. Okay, so. Have? Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yes Damn
Okay, I mean I guess I haven't but I guess I know now y'all ever moon always always before you go to helicopter
Always make sure yeah say may I helicopter?
Well out of all these what do you think is the most embarrassing?
Oof.
I would be very embarrassed of my reputation
in the orgy story if people didn't want me watching them
and I was just watching them.
I would be embarrassed to be that person.
I think that's the, you know,
I'm not uncomfortable by sex at all, but that would be probably the last situation I'd want to be in to be that person. I think that's the, you know, I'm not uncomfortable by sex at all,
but that would be probably the last situation
I'd wanna be in out of all these.
Yeah, and then like the bookstore story,
I'm like, that's okay, like you tried to riff,
it didn't land.
The tampon thing, I'm like, girl,
you and probably 30% of women,
like, or anybody with periods.
And then that last one,
honestly, when?
Yeah.
The one that I would want to be around for,
I mean, I don't like when people get hurt,
but the wedding situation. Wedding.
I mean, there are people who are very uncomfortable
when things get tense or when things get crazy.
I'm someone who's like, okay.
Yeah, if you get to just sit back and watch.
Cool. Yeah.
Like, I would be just like, ooh.
I can't look at people throwing up, so I probably.
No, the throwing up and people getting hurt,
I'd be like, oh shit.
But the chaos.
And a chain reaction and fighting and explosions.
No, if I was ever at, every wedding I've been to
has always been great.
I've had very good track record.
But if I was at a wedding where like a fight broke out
or like people are yelling at each other,
like just yelling, not physical fighting,
but just like, oh shit, dramas happening.
I would be like, this is my favorite wedding
I've ever been to.
I think of all the stories I wanna be involved in,
the orgy one sounds the most fun.
Like to be like, hey, do you guys need like a DJ?
Like yo, should I put on some gaga? Yeah, like what do you guys need a DJ? Should I put on some gaga?
Yeah, what are you guys feeling right now?
Maybe some jazz or I don't know.
Any communication would have been.
Literally saying anything would have been.
He's just on his phone being like.
And there wasn't even music already going,
so it was just sex sounds and then TikToks going by. He's on his phone, he's on his phone.
He's like, do you guys see that break dancer
at the Olympics?
Yeah, it's like.
Just trying to show them videos.
Hey, you guys see this?
Dude, check out this TikTok.
Like, tired of the ads.
I just started reading knock knock jokes to them.
That'd be funny.
That'd be funny.
Yeah.
That wedding story reminds me of that one time
when we were in Sacramento after a shoot,
like really early in the Smosh days,
I think it was you, me, Olivia, Keith, and Noah
sitting and like eating breakfast or something,
we were flying out or it was after a shoot.
And there was a couple fully fighting at a table nearby
and we were all just like quiet and you were like,
I think that if a couple chooses to have a fight in public,
I'm allowed to watch.
Yeah.
Like we were all just tired and you in public, I'm allowed to watch. Yeah. Yeah.
Like we were all just tired and we were like,
I'm allowed to watch.
I'm allowed to watch.
Like it is entertainment now.
There are two adults choosing to have a full on fight
in public, I'm allowed to watch.
No, you have to obtain consent and just walk up to them.
Hey, do you guys mind if I like-
May I helicopter?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Seems like you guys need. Okay. Seems like you guys need,
Okay.
Seems like you guys need something silly.
Thank you both for being here.
This was very fun.
Thank you.
And thank you for watching.
Let us know what other themes and subreddits
you'd like to see on this show.

Bye.
