Like such idiots on video calls, 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.720 I realized, Just so you all know, they're all waving 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.800 at the podcast. Obviously they're new to this whole media. 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.040 Um are you Are you guys excited for Thanksgiving? Do 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.600 you do you have any big plans? Hell?

I'm not going home for Thanksgiving with luck. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.200 I had enough of my friends, right, I had enough 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.720 of my family for two years. Last year when they 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.519 dragged me to the yurt. If you all recall, I 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:56.840 remember that you were in a year yes, Giving, it 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.840 was giving yurt. It was not it was not an 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:07.480 enjoyable experience. So I'm going to abstain from the Thanksgiving celebrations. However, 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.079 I'm just gonna eat like a to fur ky or 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:15.320 whatever the vegans eat. You know, call today. Also, you're 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.560 you're from upstate New York, where it's like there's like 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.880 five ft of snow about to be dumped on it 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.040 this weekend allegedly. Yeah, so I'm feeling real good about 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.400 my choice to move across the country today, Like you're 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.240 just upstain, You're like Thanksgiving, I'm just gonna ubstain. I'm 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.160 just gonna pass. I'm gonna pass on it. I think 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:36.880 more people should abstain from Thanksgiving. Hot Takebain. You're really 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.200 deserving after your your experience, though, Like I feel like 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:44.160 you get three Thanksgiving passes because of that. I think 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.800 we'll need a separate episode story time of Thanksgiving in 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:52.600 your Yeah, really, Debree, Jason, what do you? What do you? 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.960 What are you doing for Thanksgiving? Well, I'm excited to 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.440 see my family. I'm not excited for how cold it's 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:00.240 going to be. I'm I'm going from Los angele ust 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.640 to Minneapolis. Minnesota and there will be a lot of snow. Yeah, 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.080 it's uh, it's just gonna be survival mode when I 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:11.600 get there, bundle up, put a lot of layers on 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:16.400 my eleven month old baby, and just hope we through 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:22.000 the winter. This is baby's first thanks She's going to 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:26.960 have her first turkey mashed potato. Stephanie Mary's Are you 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:32.200 going to dress her? Pure her in a cornucopia? Yes, 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.240 that's what I want. She will be in a cornucopia 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.360 dressed as a turkey. But she's not going to be served. 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:43.000 She's going to be serving. That's right, serving elutely. Cut 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.919 the camera. Hopefully there'll there'll be a picture in the 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:51.279 description of this hopefully. Alright. Great. So the plan today 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.840 is we have scoured one of our favorite sub breddits, 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.040 am I the Asshole, and we've all found some fantastic 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.840 stories h um Thanksgiving, and we're going to share them 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.840 with you, and then we're also going to judge these 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.800 people and vote whether they are assholes or not. If 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.560 you haven't been on I am I the Asshole. It's 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.839 a great subreddit. It's you know, it's a it's a 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:15.599 place for it's a catharsis for frustrated moral philosophers, you know, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.560 in a place to finally find out if you were 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.320 wrong in that argument that's been bothering you for years 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.479 and years and years. So it's a safe space to 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:29.160 call people assholes, which I appreciate. So I'm gonna go 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.239 ahead and go first. I've got a great, a great 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:39.280 story um. It's posted by user breath havics briath. I 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.440 think it's pronounced breathe vix um and they said, I, 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.800 twenty year old male, am currently pretty much estranged from 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:53.120 my family. Lucky. I have a younger sister, seven female, 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:57.240 named Tori. When one of my friends, Brendan, twenty year 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.240 old man, started dating Tori, I hated it for but 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.560 eventually I gained a best friend and they got married 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.880 and I was the best man. Brendan is now like 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:11.440 my brother. We are that close. In Tori left Brendan 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:17.320 for another guy, reality TV type shit. My parents were 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.440 incredibly upset, as was I. My sister moved in with 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.919 the guy immediately. My parents knew I was pissed, but 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.800 had to quote unquote support their daughter. Let's take a 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:32.880 moment there and unpack that first paragraph thoughts. Tori's a thought, 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.800 I don't trust people named Brendan. Yeah, okay, okay, I 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.640 do feel bad for Brendan who found a friend in 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.480 his brother in law, but I will let Tori follow 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:49.640 her hard. Here's where I'm getting kind of triggered. Is 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.080 this guy chows chose the he made best friends with 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.520 the new guy, you know, and he's choosing him over 0:06:56.560 --> 0:07:03.080 his sister. Yeah, also be friends reality star. Now, don't 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.720 be shy. It's just he's he seems like a dude 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.600 who's like bros before hose, you know, bros before hose. 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.720 Even if that hose my sister just soonn say bros 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:18.160 before Yeah, dude, what about family first? I need like, 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.680 what about? Because I think I got it twisted. So 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:28.280 Anne's sister got a new boyfriend. Quick recap. Okay, the poster. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:33.400 Let's call him Derek, uh Derek. His sister Tory got 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.680 married to a guy named Brendan. Derek fell in love 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.520 with Brendan Broman Scalore loved each other. That were besties. 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:44.360 Then sister Tori cheated, possibly cheated, I'm going to assume 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.840 cheated on. Brendon got a new guy, left Brendan for 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:53.040 another guy, and then Derek was really upset with his sister, 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.480 super piste, and then he said, my parents knew I 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.960 was super pissed, but I had to support their daughter. 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.360 So he's even referred ring to his own sister as 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:05.200 their daughter. Weird. Al right, So that's where we're that's 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.800 where we're at, that's the that's what Derek's bringing. Okay, 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:12.680 let's move on. When Tory's second wedding happened, I didn't go. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.320 Me and my dad had it out over it. My 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.080 mother tried playing peacekeeper for the family. My parents then 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.640 started giving me the silent treatment. When holiday season came around, 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.440 it was the height of COVID. My parents said that 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.280 I should just do my own thing this year because 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.080 with me going out a lot, they didn't want me 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:31.640 spreading diseases. My exact response was, if you're worried about 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.280 catching diseases from other people, shouldn't you be more worried 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.680 about Tory. I mean, she's the one who likes to 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.920 sleep around. Me and my dad had another fight, especially 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:46.240 due to this family over everything. Mantra Okay, speechless. So 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.800 I think this Derek that is his name. I mean, 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.640 that's why I made up that's his fake name. Twisted individual. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.679 I think insinuating that his sister would give his parents 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:05.400 and STD is ludicrous, disgusting, insane, and petty. He also, 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.920 to me, from this, sounds like he's kind of like 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.520 an anti masker, anti vaxer, because he's kind of like 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.080 his parents are like, it's maybe don't come to Thanksgiving 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:16.960 because you seem to be going out all the time 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:18.920 and doing whatever you want. He's like, Oh, you're going 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.280 to get a disease from Tori because she's a whore. Yeah, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.520 not cool. Call me ludicrous, but I feel like he 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.400 something's weird with him and Tori, Like maybe he's got 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:36.120 some jealous yeah. And also yeah, I feel like he 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:41.320 has no friends and he's still friends with Brendan. Yeah, 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:45.240 he feels like monster energy drink as a person. That's 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:50.160 what I'm getting from his vibe. Okay, so here's my thoughts. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:55.400 I have conflicting views. First of all, I agree that 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:59.079 when you have someone that you're dating and you introduced 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.200 them to your family, they are obviously going to form 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:06.400 some sort of connection. So I recognize why he would 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.800 feel disappointed and her and like maybe even still want 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.040 to maintain some sort of relationship or friendship with her 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.160 ex husband. Whatever the situation is. The thing that is 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.720 messy is like to not show up to her wedding. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:22.240 That's just like I think uncalled for. I think that 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:25.000 it wasn't drama enough for you to have to not 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.120 go to her wedding. And then yeah, the whole Thanksgiving 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.959 situation and like the comments about his sister giving and 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:36.520 STD is very different than a viral illness. You can 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:41.400 dead too. You have to go an extra mile to 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.760 try to contract an STD or potentially contract ST. You 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.840 could just get COVID from being in the same space. 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:50.240 So it's like, I'm not even remotely comparable. Like You're 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.760 not going to get chlamydia at Thanksgiving dinner from you know, 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.679 from your daughter sitting across the table. Okay, let me 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.360 let let me get hit you with this next paragraph, 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:03.680 so he says. Uh. Derek says, I, I hardly spoke 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.400 to my family. My parents would send me text like 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.720 when you are ready to apologize, will be here, type shit. 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.199 I responded with a Bible verse about adultery and how 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.880 they support it. I was berated again, and we hardly 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.280 spoke until October one last year. I was told we 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.280 were doing Thanksgiving a Tori's place, and if I wanted 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.720 to come, I needed to apologize to Tory and her husband. 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.040 I laughed and ended up going to Brendan's families. When 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:31.880 Brendan's mom's posted me with her family on FB and 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:35.319 tagged me with a quote about family being those you choose. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.120 I never told her to post it, but my mom 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.440 saw it and went ape ship asking for me to 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.559 come over and talk. Even commenting on the post, I'm 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.560 just gonna throw out there anybody who responds with a 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:50.480 Bible Verse to anything, I don't trust him. I think, 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:55.120 um with the whole Bible Verse thing and this budding 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.600 bromance with Brendon, like it sounds like Derek and Brendon 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:03.400 need to buy like a like a van and start 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.360 like an Instagram page for like van life, because that's 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:11.560 really what I'm getting from these guys. They just yeah, 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:16.080 bro van life. No one has to bother them. They can, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.080 you know, send Bible verses to people and just yeah, 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:27.760 be friends forever. And also Brandon Brendan's mother sounds like 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:34.599 also a loser, um one who uses Facebook? You're chooky? 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:39.400 Um No, that's a mom's platform. You but you don't 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.040 mean what she's supposed to be. She is, I'll leave 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.559 her alone. But she really said pick or it didn't happen, Like, 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.760 did you really not have that many people at Thanksgiving 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:54.040 that you really stretched to bring this man over? Just weird. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:57.360 It feels a little targeted. It's definitely a post that's 0:12:57.400 --> 0:13:01.520 like because she probably only has about thirty five people 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.600 who follow her, you know, and look, one of which 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.400 is probably this guy's mom. And she was like, families 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.560 who you choose? Look how happy we are, Look at 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:14.120 our Look at all these pies. Yeah. Why also poor Tory, Yeah, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.080 poor Tori in the middle of this, just following her heart. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:17.880 You know, she may have she may have fallen out 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:21.360 of love with Brendan. Maybe Brendan was a piece of ship. Yeah, 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:24.640 if he's hanging out with Derek, that's exactly what I 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:29.040 was gonna say. Your vibe at tracks your tribe. Yeah, 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:33.440 that's weird. Last paragraph here she says, he says, So 0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.079 this year, my plan is to go to Brendan's family again. 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.480 My mom called and said she wanted to host this year. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:40.560 I asked if Tory and her husband would be there. 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.400 She said, of course, they are their family I said, so, 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.199 so was Brendan. But I saw how you treated him 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.360 and me, so no, thank you. Yesterday my dad called 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:52.240 and said Mom is distraught and has been for years. 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:53.840 She wants us to get along and I need to 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.320 do the right thing. I said, I'll come if my 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:59.560 sister isn't invited. He said that he wouldn't do that 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.320 to the family. I said, he did that for me, 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.880 to me for two years. He claimed I did it 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.400 to myself. My mom is now saying that it was 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.640 my dad that has been a hardass about this the 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.760 whole time. I said she should have divorced him then, 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.120 because I'm not putting up with his ship anymore. Either 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:18.600 my sister isn't invited or I don't come. Um, period, 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.960 this guy's a baby. I need to take a walk. 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:28.480 Um it's gone too far. If the mom's distraught, I'm sick. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:32.400 And it really does sound like Derek and Brandon those 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:38.400 are the names right throughout this whole episode. We're just 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.960 like switching names for them. It's like, and Frederick and 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.200 John need to just but they really do seem to 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.160 be life partners at this point, like they really, I mean, 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.800 clearly they're writing so hard for each other. I'm with Jason. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:54.000 I think that they should buy a little cottage and Vermont, 0:14:54.160 --> 0:15:01.040 maybe Washington or Oregons live off the lane and they 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.400 don't have to interact with society. They can just forget 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:10.000 about their parents and like yeah, yeah, whatever you want, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.560 because clearly they're just such a servants to the people 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.120 in there. Yeah, it would be like a it would 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.560 be like a patriarchy village. They want to just like 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.280 control Tory, but they can try to do that from 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.640 afar where they're not hurting anyone but each other and 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.000 they're just like every night there's like, what do you 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:33.440 think Tory's up to? Um? Probably a whole Yeah, giving 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.520 my family clamidia, the fact that he's coming in at 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.560 the end and being like you know what, I'm going 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.000 to break up my parents marriage over this, Like yeah, 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.160 why do you bring papa into this and say divorce 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.520 his as he has Alzheimer's, Like leave him out of this. 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.520 I also don't like that Brendan Brandon was shocked when 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.760 he's like is Tory coming? Like, babe, you have family 0:15:57.760 --> 0:16:01.920 at three? Like yeah, she's coming, Like wait, that was Derek. 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:10.359 That was Derek, Yes, exactly, Derek Brendan. I don't like that, Derek, 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:13.200 they're the same broad and chat. I didn't like that 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.640 he was so confused that obviously toris coming like, yeah, 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.720 you have a van, stay there. He's given ultimatums. You know, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.480 he's he's the one who's saying it's it's pick, it's 0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:28.480 either me or her, and it's thrown out Bible versus 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.320 saying divorced dad. Like, this guy has no compromise. This 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.760 guy is just it's his way or the highway. And uh, 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.840 I think I don't even know if we need to vote, 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.960 but let's go ahead and vote. Who do we think Derek, 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:48.800 the original poster here is an asshole? Yes, yes, I 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:53.080 kind of get what he's saying. I'm kidding, asshole, asshole. 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.640 I think it's a pretty clear resounding this guy is 0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:01.840 an asshole. Yeah, alright, great, I'm glad we are glad 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:06.080 we established that this guy, he's like an A lister asshole. 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:10.840 Let's top tier, self righteous, super self righteous asshole. I 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:16.520 was gonna say, I think the family should divorce freaking Derek. 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.640 They should be like, you know what, you go live 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.880 with Brendan's family and the year, like we're done with you. 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.480 I'm with you. What he's reminding me of, he's throwing 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:30.280 out Bible verses. He's reminded me of a little Bible 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:34.760 story I know where um, God told Abraham to kill 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.200 his son and then he was going to do it, 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.959 and God was like, I just wanted to see if 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.080 you would do it, and it was like, come on, 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.280 God's why would you do that? I can't believe you 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:50.800 were about to do it? Abraham. It's hardcore, dude. Yeah, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:55.000 there's your Bible. Also, how about the Bible verse of like, 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:59.199 don't call your sister a horror. There's what's actually in 0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.160 the Bible. I bet you it's like you should call 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:07.320 your sister a horror Luke seventeen, where it says all 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:23.639 sisters are all right, let's move on, Jordan, You've got 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.840 a story to share, right, Yeah, I sure do. So 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:32.080 this is another Ami the asshole, and he's asking if 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.840 he's the asshole for telling his wife that she can 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:39.760 stay home this Thanksgiving. So my wife is a grade 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:43.520 A picky eater, a plus picky eater. Actually, so Emahasis 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.720 the worm. It's it's bothersome to a certain degree, but 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:52.040 on holidays, basically the ship show begins. She'd refused to 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.960 eat certain meals and Mom would take it personally, which 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.000 results in a series of arguments between them. As a compromise, 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.240 this year, my wife offered to bring her own food 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:05.879 to Thanksgiving dinner. I was stunned. I asked if she 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.840 thought this through, and it's would be weird for her 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.040 to bring her own food, especially when she wouldn't be 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.360 sharing it with anybody else, and told her to think 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:17.119 about how Mom will react. She'd get very offended and upset. 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.760 My wife said that that's not her problem and that 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:21.720 she was just trying to make it work by bringing 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.360 her own meal. I told her again that Mom might 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:28.280 not like. Mom might not like nor even allow this. 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.119 She blew up at me, asking me if I wanted 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.320 her to either eat food she doesn't like or to 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.680 go hungry. I suggested she just gives my mom's food 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.639 a chance, but she said it wasn't about my mom's cooking, 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:43.000 she just does not like certain foods. We had an argument, 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.160 and I ended up telling her she could stay home 0:19:45.200 --> 0:19:48.600 this Thanksgiving and have whatever meal she likes. She got 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:52.320 quiet and then lashed out, calling me insensitive and negative 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:55.119 to say this to her. I repeatedly asked her to 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:57.879 calm down, but she couldn't stop ranting about how I 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.000 was basically willing to exclude her from a major event. 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:04.359 She started cold shouldering me about it, while at the 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.400 same time guilting me, saying I'm treating her poorly. After 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:12.280 she offered the quote perfect compromise. So is he the asshole? 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.560 I'll start First of all, it sounds like your mom 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.919 was cooking is trash because she can say it's not 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:20.680 like she can say it's not about the cooking all 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.199 she wants, but realistically it's a nicer, more respectful thing 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:25.840 to do. Oh No, I just don't like the green 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.440 bean cast role. I don't like anyone's screaming no, that's disgusting. 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:31.800 So I think it probably is a little bit about 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:35.399 the mom's cooking. And second of all, what about all 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.400 the people who are like gluten free vegetarian like myself? 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.680 Last year, I brought like fake chicken patties from Walmart 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:44.040 and just pop that between two slices of bread, called 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.240 that my Thanksgiving dinner. Like, it's not a disrespectful thing. 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:50.520 You just have to adapt to what your diet needs. 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.400 So I think he's being dramatic. I think his mom 0:20:52.400 --> 0:20:55.919 needs to relax and also sign up for masterclass and 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:59.040 take a cooking lesson because the green bean cast role 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:04.359 needs to be and that's my that's my degree. I'll 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.760 just say I wanted to throw in that. Um, this 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.480 is kind of reminding me of Love is Blind season 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:16.320 three a little bit um without giving any spoilers, there's 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:21.440 there's a couple Cole and Zeneb and um. The moral 0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:24.199 of the story, you know, for both with me is like, 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:27.880 you're not both assholes, you're both just wrong for each 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:33.159 other and so probably acting like assholes because both of 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.040 these people in this story came off like children to me. 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.400 I think it's really sussed when anyone refers to their 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.880 parents to someone else's like mom and dad. This guy 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:47.040 just kept being like a mom this and mom that. 0:21:47.200 --> 0:21:50.040 It's like that's your mother, that's not my mother, So 0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:54.960 don't just say mom without my Um, that's like what 0:21:55.000 --> 0:21:57.760 weird rich people do. And then just like psychos do, 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:02.600 they're just like mom and dad. Um. So I think 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:06.200 that was suss. But I also think she's like, I'm 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:11.480 gonna bring my own food to Thanksgiving is just a 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:17.000 little bit weird to me when you are the when 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.160 you're the guest, if you're a part of the family, 0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:24.560 like and someone is definitely not taking your dietary restrictions 0:22:24.600 --> 0:22:27.760 into account of course, like bring your own meal. It 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:30.439 just sounds like she doesn't like this food and this 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.280 kind of food, and so to me, I'm just like, 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:36.479 you're being very showy by bringing your own food. Um, 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.399 if it's just a preference, like just put food on 0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:42.280 your plate and don't eat it, like move it around. 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.920 I've been doing that for thirty five years. I hate 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:50.159 eating at people's houses. It's disgusting, but I do it 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.600 and I've never been called on it. So we need 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:59.880 to unpack that. I hate eating at other people's home, 0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:03.879 so I think other people's homes are disgusting and I 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.200 don't like the food that they make. No matter what. 0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:08.879 I'm just like, don't invite me to your home. Invite 0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:12.399 me to a third party location, like let's go to 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.640 Food Rockers, let's go to Red Robin. I'm with you, Yeah, 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:18.680 I don't. We might have to do it. And am 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:22.440 I the asshole about Jason? Yeah? Also, like my fat 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:26.919 ass will eat anything, so that's wrong. I'm all about 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.240 going over will of this one. Yeah, I don't care 0:23:30.280 --> 0:23:33.040 if they baked it with their big toe. I mean 0:23:33.080 --> 0:23:35.960 I would, but if they didn't tell me, I'm not 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:38.320 going to be like m taste like hanging out, you know, 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.080 like I wouldn't know. I just like I would already 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:45.080 have eaten really quick detour. Like someone, as a wedding 0:23:45.080 --> 0:23:48.560 gift to my wife and me invited us over to 0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.560 dinner at their house. And I was like, that's the 0:23:51.640 --> 0:23:54.439 worst gift ever. They were like, we want to have 0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:57.280 you over for a gift. Car. Are they a Michelin 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:01.399 star chef? No? Are they broke food? No? The food 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:06.440 sucks and they have money. So anyway, Oh my god, 0:24:06.640 --> 0:24:10.760 are they going to listen to this? And I don't 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:14.240 think so, but I hope so if you're listening, I 0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:20.080 did this for comedy. Sorry not sorry, Um, I'm with Jason. 0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:22.320 I don't like to eat out other people's houses either, 0:24:22.640 --> 0:24:25.359 because anytime I'm like eating off their plate, it's like 0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:27.679 you have rag goose stuck to your chupper wear. Like 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.040 this tastes like dishwater, like you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:33.119 I'm just imagining the food that you had on this 0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:35.960 plate prior to me. Eating it, so it just makes 0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:38.200 me anxious. I prefer a restaurant. I don't know why. 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:42.800 I don't know. I don't know who you guys friends are. 0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.840 It sounds like you're friends with Rip van Winkle, but 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:52.480 like my friends, who are these who are these ragamuffins 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.280 making dinner? Yeah? What do you? Who are you guys eating? 0:24:55.320 --> 0:25:04.920
