In short
Dating and relationship compatibility, judged through Reddit “Am I overreacting/asshole” stories—especially around consent, boundaries, and whether quirky behavior is harmless or a red flag.
Guests
The episode is hosted by “Chance” and “Tommy” (plus a recurring “Opie” voice). They discuss the stories and read/interpret Reddit comments; no specific real-world guests are named in the transcript.
Key claims
- A man repeatedly “drops hints” about a bug-crushing fetish; even if he claims it isn’t sexual, insisting on discussion can be non-consensual kink engagement.
- A boyfriend embarrassed his girlfriend for personifying her car (“Angie”) and treating it like a pet; commenters call him the asshole.
- A boyfriend staying overnight with a sick female friend while using vague explanations is treated as suspicious; commenters often assume cheating/gaslighting.
- A woman suspects her neighbor is into her; she eventually confesses and they kiss—she’s gay.
- “Shampoo Guy” sexualizes his girlfriend’s vanilla shampoo smell; commenters debate whether it’s normal flirting or an ongoing pattern; the couple breaks up.
Notable examples
- “Crush fetish” tied to giantess/bug-sized imagery.
- Car “Angie” gets “bath” and “new shoe.”
- “Flu” friend sleepover with minimal concern.
- “I like you” confession leading to a kitchen kiss.
- Vanilla shampoo conversation escalating into diagnoses (Tourette’s/ADHD/OCD/hypersexuality).

1:27Es siempre un tiempo para hablar de la gente. No drama at all. No. Es super fácil. Es muy fácil. Sí. I notice en our comments, everybody says que la gente dice que la gente es fácil para ellos. No hay problemas. No hay problemas. Es fácil de ir a date. Dates always go well. Es awesome. Yeah. Es being reciprocated. Honestly, ¿por qué no tenemos que hacer esto? Sí, no tenemos que hacer esto. La consencia es que la gente es fácil y es fácil. Y es muy fácil. Psyche. Got you, guys. Gotcha. we fooled you should we just start we can start and I would like to let the people know today I'll be fidgeting with this little string that I found on my bracelet for those listening he's got a string it's a very small string I have this beaded bracelet which I'm going to do everything in my power not to go like this the whole time and now we can begin and now we start our first story comes from am I overreacting this was posted in January de este año.
2:26Am I overreacting? He keeps hinting at an unusual kink two weeks in. I just started talking to this guy a few weeks ago and he seems really amazing so far. He's attractive, gives well thought out responses when we're texting, compliments me often, and has generally been great to chat with. Today, in a very innocuous way, while we were talking about how our separate New Year's Eve plans had gone, he brought up the show Fear Factor, specifically when people are made to interact with bugs. He asked if I was afraid of bugs And I replied that I'm generally not too scared of them Then he asked if I would hypothetically participate in a challenge Where I was asked to squish a bug with my bare hands I replied that I think it's mean to just kill bugs for no reason Then he tells me that he finds it really attractive When women aren't afraid to squish bugs I thought that he meant not being afraid to kill a spider with a newspaper or something But he kept going He asked if I'd squish a slug He stipulated that it wasn't alive To accommodate my desire not to kill bugs With my bare hands Oh no I said that I wouldn't necessarily be afraid to do it But that I wouldn't particularly want to Either or enjoy doing so Then he asked if we were in a relationship If I'd squish a big bug The bigger the better How big is that bug?
3:44At this point I was weirded out And asked him if it was a sexual thing And he said it wasn't That it was just attractive a ver cómo se ve una mujer que lo que hace algo así. I felt tentatively okay con esa explicación y steed la conversación away from that after this. So, anyway, so the weather... No, let's get back to the big bug, actually. Yeah, no, the weather's great. Bugs, though. Big fat-ass bug. Big fat-ass bug. You're gonna splat it? Thorax. The thing is, he's already brought it up again. He brought up that his friend dared him to squish a bug with his hands once y cuando no me dio la respuesta he seguido con ¿Puedo hablar de la dare?
4:26Ahora me weirdo. Aunque me ha dicho que no me fue una sexual cosa I can't help but feel like he brought it up way too many times for it not to be. I really don't want to look it up though. ¿Es esto algo que te lo veía? No quiero kink shame o algo pero I really have a problem con la idea de crushing bugs. I love animals y hate la idea de squishing bugs por no razón, incluso si están dead. I feel like, incluso si se shut it down completamente y nos empezó a relación
4:53¡Gracias!
5:00¡Gracias ahol聴 a slavar! Lo que hay. ¿Qué es eso? ¿Qué es eso? ¿Qué es eso? ¿Qué es eso? ¿Y I pick it up? I guess I can date him. I just hope I never come across a bug ever again. Okay. There is a kink for everything, isn't there? There really is. I think I've looked this up before. Like, because remember when Endgame was coming out and everyone was like, oh, Ant-Man should just crawl up Thanos' booty hole. And then I was like, why does everybody want ants in people's booty holes? And I was like, is that a sexual thing? y hay un sexual thing sobre bugs crawling into your holes. Pero este es someone just crushing a bug.
5:43Sí, killing the bug. Con la par de manos. Crushing it con sus bare hands. ¿Cómo acquirees esa kink? ¿Qué te ves cuando te ves tres años? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? ¿Verdad? Este es dos meses en. He's dropping hints. That's intense. Mr. Man needs her to squash a bug. Two weeks in, I'm thinking, where does this escalate to? Because if it's like a year and I'm like, okay, you've been holding on to this. Fear Factor was a perfect in for him. He's like, hell yeah, I get to see so many fucking bugs right now.
6:24Is this going to turn darker, though? If we're starting with bugs, are we going to go to bigger animals? Is it going to be scary? I don't know. I feel like bugs are so different than Insects are so different than animals Scientists are listening Bugs are different than animals Exoceletans
6:44Exoceletans I wouldn't have to I couldn't do this I don't like Some bugs do creep me out But I don't want to kill a bug Ever There was a huge moth that got into My place yesterday and my cat was chasing around and I was like, she's gonna eat it but I feel really bad. Have you ever heard of a Dawson fly? A Dawson fly. Yes. A Shane Dawson fly. Kill it. Kill it. Dawson creek fly. No, they're like, these flies are about this big. They're like a foot long. What? That's a foot, right? I think you watched Jumanji. No, no. I saw one in person in Texas. It's this big. Its wings are like the back half. They're like this and they have these huge pincers en el frente que son de este tipo de las piernas de pinceles de este tipo ¡Llubro de ese tipo!
7:37¡Llubro de ese tipo! ¡Oh, mi Dios! ¡Es este tipo de, Shane! ¡Es un punto largo! ¡No, ¿verdad, bug? ¡Imaginando a hot babe crushing that con la cara! ¡Ey, este es así! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! ¡Ey! I'd be out, I think. Two weeks in, there's no excuse. You can't be bug dropping two weeks in. And you're not kink shaming by being like, oh, we're not compatible here. This isn't for me. And apparently it's not a kink. It's just a lifestyle choice. We know about that. Yeah. Same thing. The verdict was not overreacting. Comments. Not overreacting. It's not kink shaming to not want to participate in a kink.
8:27que te hace un poco. Además, es bien que se quiera cuando se involucra a la gente en la parte de activa de harming non-consenting living creatures, en mi opinión. No overreacting, this is a specific fetish called a crush fetish y es often tied into the giantess fetish. He wants to be bug-sized y que a giant lady squish or eat him. Him insisting it isn't sexual then continuing to make you discuss it is making you non-consensually engage in his kink and that is yuck. I love how people ¡Suscríbete al canal!

12:18Am I the asshole? This was posted back in September of 2022 Good year It was a great year I had a good year, I joined Smosh this year Whoa Then it was a good year Am I the asshole for telling my girlfriend The way she talks about her car Is weird and embarrassing She wants to squish her car I 25, have been dating my girlfriend 23, for about 9 months now When she turned 21 her parents gave her a car and she decided to name it Angie. I learned all this on our first date when she said Angie took me here. I thought that was odd, but let it slide. Throughout our relationship, she's always talked about her car as if she's talking about another person.
13:02When she got a flat tire on the highway a few months back, she called me and said that Angie's shoe broke and has to get a new one. When she goes to the car wash, she describes it as giving Angie a bath. This all came to a head this weekend when me and my friends went out drinking y mi girlfriend offered a ser el designado driver. We were out for a couple hours y I admittedly got a bit too drunk. Cuando mi girlfriend came to pick us up, she said she's stopping at the gas station first to get Angie something to drink. This is where I may be the asshole. I told her I think it's weird and embarrassing of her to talk about her car like that.
13:33It's a machine, not a pet or a kid, and that she should treat it like how a normal person would treat any machine. She got very quiet and refused to say anything for the rest of the drive home. She dropped off my friends and then drove to my apartment. I asked her why we weren't going back to hers And she said she needed some time to think And told me to get out She's been radio silent since then And I'm starting to think I did something wrong Am I the asshole for what I said? Well I mean he like almost Like he almost said the C slur What? Clanker Like he basically said it You little bastard If you need to bleep that out You can bleep that out I get it I'm sorry that I used the hard R
14:18Pero, como, damn, dude Como un He necesita un poco más whimsy en su vida Yeah, es así Es así Este es también I, famously, mi whole life Loved naming inanimate objects Yeah I think there's power and magic In naming an object It becomes more special And envelops it with power Mi Roomba es nombre es Safira Mi lunchbox en la escuela Es nombre Gregory I had a rubber chicken named Beccal I had a Leg Of a doll That I drew a face on And it's name was Justine She has a Facebook page Somewhere out there if you can find it I'm laughing at the concept of someone getting a tattoo On their own leg and naming their leg I have to be like this is Greg Greg my leg Greg the League Giving anything a name kind of does give it some It's a weird power it has Even like swords I'm sorry I'm going to bring it up Swords have names Boats have names All boats are women Sailors and captains There's power in naming things I'm kind of shocked that They've been dating for nine months And in that she's referring to her car as Angie And she's like oh yeah I'm giving Angie a bath y llegue a Angie a drink y no bringen la idea casually.
15:44He dejo que you really refer to your car as Angie. Just bring it up casually and she'd probably be like, yeah, it's a funny thing. Just explain it regular. It'd be fine. But you let that get pent up within you and then you got drunk and were an asshole. It's not about that. There's some other stuff. And yeah, he confronted her and brought it up and embarrassed her in front of friends. And when she's coming to pick him up. She's doing an act of service for you. I feel like it's very easy for us to build habits vocally like this. None of her actions are different than anybody else. It's just how she refers to something.
16:26You get used to that. It's no different than when you get used to using slang terms and stuff. That's just how she's doing it. But I am thinking about that Stephen King book with the evil car. Christine! and it's actually solid movie. Evil car? This guy, this guy finds this like old kind of beat up car and it's like, oh yeah, I don't know what the deal with this car is and he like kind of falls in love with this car and then car has a mind of its own and it's jealous of his girlfriend tries to kill his girlfriend. Christine wants a bath. Christine wants a new shoe. Yeah. Oh. That's kind of like to Christine, maybe this person, maybe OP is scared because they've thought about that.
17:04Kind of like a Transformers and Bumblebee. Yeah, kind of like Bumblebee. Kind of like Bumblebee. Yeah, maybe Angie's alive. That'd be cool. Sí, mi primer caro, mi Honda Civic, cuando yo estaba en la ciudad, cuando yo era 17, me llamaba la Batmobile. Yo no podía creerlo, así que era la Batmobile. Es ok, es ok. Es un buen nombre. Mi primer caro fue un burnt orange Pontiac Grand Am GT y su nombre fue Fang. Oh, que es un buen nombre. Que es far mejor que mi. Y mi Vespa ahora, yo drive a Vespa, mi Vespa ahora su nombre es Vulcan. Vulcan, que es genial. I have a Camry and her name is Camry Diaz It's very straightforward So it's normal It's not normal but it's not a crazy thing, I don't refer to it all the time I never did either so I think I never really And what's it called when you humanize things?
17:58Humanizing? Personified I don't personify it and I'm like he's going to get a drink or he's going to take a dump Sure I don't do that That's fine No, no, no. No, no. No, no, no. Okay. Whatever you want to do, I do that. The verdict was asshole. Yeah. Yeah. Obviously. Comments. I asked Sasha since she's my car and would have a better perspective on this. She said you're the asshole. Sasha also said cars need gas because they're hungry, not thirsty. She thought it was important for everyone to know. 33 ,000 upvotes. That had more upvotes. It's like a milkshake. It's like it's more about the calories.
18:37About the quenching. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Someone said, You're the asshole. Jeez, just let your girlfriend enjoy her relationship with Angie. Are you jealous? How is she hurting anyone by being a bit silly when referring to her car? Someone else said, You called her weird and embarrassing as she did you and your stupid drunk friends a favor late into the night. You made her feel stupid as fuck because she now knows you've been secretly embarrassed by her for months over a quirk. You're the asshole and probably a single one if you can't turn this around. Bam. Jesus. Oh Another tiny little update that I'm going to squish in my hands Oh Well she dumped me, she found the post, called me And told me never to speak to her again I guess it's for the best though, we really wouldn't have been That compatible as many of you have said Thank you for your judgments Oh what a douche Thank you for your judgments It's posted on Am I the Asshole Sorry bud If you walk into a courthouse and be like, here's my crime Get ready It kills me every time when someone posts on Am I the Asshole y se les dañe el juicio y luego están mad a la vez porque quieren que se convocan de acuerdo acepta entonces oh jeez oh man este es un am I overreacting am I overreacting por ser mad mi abuel stayed the night at another woman's apartment just because she has a cold or the flu I need more information this is a 27 year old woman I'm currently in another state My boyfriend, a 27 year old man Has made friends with my friends Including Stacy, a 35 year old woman Last night I got suspicious After this message exchange After sending my boyfriend a funny TikTok video Got screenshots of the text messages The boyfriend writes I love that video Also Stacy is really sick with this flu I'm going to stay the night She responds What do you mean?
20:32Does she need to go to the hospital? What are her symptoms? He says,
21:22¡Suscríbete!
21:38¿Qué es eso?
22:05Bueno, ¿por qué por qué han video chat con ella si tienen preguntas que pueden Lookезде, es como yo. Tu la ofida la que tiene que ver y empaden, pues parece que tienes que irnos auditando más今, es algo.ベ LetMe Verde, Si te responde a la, Hey, this is your friend, y 'all es sick. No hay manera de hablar de eso. Pero si te come de eso, es como, I'm just trying to help your friend. Y entonces, es como, Yeah,
22:32that's weird. Yeah. What do you do? Of course, my assumption es, yeah, something's going on. I need more information. I need more information to know if they're cheating. Maybe. No, I don't think it matters. Yeah. No, no, no, no. I don't think I need more information. It's a logical... It's like, yeah, you're done. It's like, huh? I need more information. What is he doing? Like, what is the thought process here? I think it could be, it could be, because the hubris of some people who cheat is just astronomical, right? And it could be like, oh, well, we'll do this so that it kind of covers our tracks and treat it so nonchalantly.
23:07Like, I think he's really thinking he can get away with gaslighting her. That's so... And I feel like this is a... This is an actually good example of gaslighting. For sure. You're like, where something insane is happening. And he's like, why are you freaking out? Why are you overreacting? If someone has the flu also, you should actively, probably not necessarily stay with them. No, you would drop off a bunch of stuff for them and be like, call me if you need anything. But I don't want to catch the flu. And if they need like a bedside assistant, you take them to the hospital. Yes, yeah, it's severe.
23:36She clearly, she doesn't have a fever. She's like, hey, girl, my nose is red. Sean, shut up. I'm on the phone with your girlfriend He wrote normal temperature She doesn't even have a fever She's in no danger whatsoever This is ridiculous It is absolutely ridiculous And ridiculous on her friend's part too They're both acting like this is chill That makes me think 100 % And I don't like to jump to that conclusion too fast But he's staying at her place Comments Not overreacting, that shit is insane to me Someone said weird behavior I get a care package or something pero estaría en la noche por la sniffles tu hijo de la mujer está intentando bang Stacy y no lo que, no hay que hacer, no hay que hacer Uber Eats, no hay que hacer drop it off at the front door leave it door, take picture, done someone says, makes no sense for him to stay, very stupid, I would assume they're banging, OP said as soon as I saw, no trouble breathing that's where my mind went, they're not even trying to pretend that she's seriously ill a head cold has never stopped me from having sex, I wouldn't expect one to stop her, okay Damn alright I'm snotting all over my girl Alright Well there's that No mini update I don't think we need one I think we got all the info Dang Our next story comes from Relationship Advice This was posted in 2021 January of 2021 Not a good year This is a 24 year old woman ¿Es mi c stated?
25:12¿A 요那么onds a mi keinen appropriato? ¿Cómo es la que si solo soy muy allergy? ¿Cómo sabía si es gay? ¿� me hubi ultra libras hablando? ¿Por qué ocurre?
25:31¡Es un timelyo tiempo, pero todo se quedó Es bastante small village y todo es muy bien así para conocer mi tiene orgas soon después de irse. Sí, socially distanced. Luego, me met mi over-the-road neighbor. Let's call her Elle. I can't describe it, pero es la primera vez que me met alguien y me ha sido perdida por palabras y mi corazón fue ruego y pensé, oh my god. She can lift things with her mind. I saw her squish a bug with her bare hands. So after I blushed my way through a welcome-to-the-village-type convo, we only saw each other for a wave and a hello for a few days. To help kind of settle in, I had my dog, Bea, with me for the first few weeks.
26:09During this time, there was a massive increase in dog thefts in a nearby town, not just from gardens, but literally wrestled away from people. If I'd been working furloughed off and on since March, then I would have taken Bea back to mom's, but since I was home with her all day, she stayed. So the local police advised us not to walk dogs alone, but we go out twice a day. A 10K run in the morning and a few miles walk in the evening. Obviously, this scares me, but at the same time, she is honestly a pain in the arse and gets upset if she doesn't go for a run and needs to be tired out so I'm kind of stuck at this point Then along comes Elle.
26:44She knocked on the door and offered to come with us as she'd seen Bea and me in the evenings and everything kind of spiraled from there. I told her about my morning runs but she didn't really bite so I thought nothing of it Then a few days later I bumped into her on a run so she started joining us on those too. A few months later and we are spending more and more time together every day It has now progressed to a run early morning, afternoon coffee, dinner most evenings, and then the evening walk. It just seemed to happen without me really noticing. I didn't read into things that much as I don't want to get my hopes up and ruin anything until another neighbor commented about how much time we spend together and how it's nice to see you young gals getting on and winked.
27:23She actually winked at me. I asked her what she meant, but she just laughed and said, you know what I mean. So now I'm looking back on things and wondering if she could like me too. Here's some reasons why she might like me How obvious do we think These are going to be She kisses me on the mouth and touches my boob She might like me We're engaged And we live together Do we think she's gay? Do we think she's gay? Okay, here's some reasons she might like me I went running along the same route at the same time For nearly two weeks before I happened to run into her A few days after I told her this I make her a coffee every afternoon Elle is work from home y take it over in her favorite mug.
28:04She says, I make good coffee, but I'm pretty sure I saw a fancy coffee machine the first time I went round. It's not there now? Elle carried on running and walking with me even after Bea went home. I told her she was going back to mom's and she said, well, I'll have to make another excuse to join you. And then we just carried on every day. She has tried really hard to bond with Bea. Bea is a very anxious dog and is scared of everyone except me and mom. Elle bought special treats to give her every day y ha sido así amazón con ella y nunca ha intentado ni lo haría de hacerle. Cuando me askede her, ella dijo que es importante que me que me y me gusta y es comfortable.

28:38Bíe realmente fell asleep entre nosotros y nos hace un sofa yesterday y es que me hace mi corazón skip a beat, guys. Ella invitó a la Zoom quiz que hace con ella con ella cada fortnight o so, y ellos estaban como, oh, así que esto es que hemos escuchado mucho más sobre. Oh, my God. We realized que nos ha convertido en un grupo de support bubble. Elle asked si
29:03Ok Ok Ok Ok
29:22Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Ok Alright lady It might sound dumb but I don't know I need your help guys She is just the most incredible person I've ever met And I really really like her But if she isn't gay or doesn't feel the same I don't want to lose her friendship As she has become such a huge part of my life I genuinely have no experience with these kinds of things As I went to quite a strict all girls school So it's not as if there were any relationships around me as a teen And then I went to a very small university Eight of us on my course Wow Golf course university
30:21Yeah, Golf Course University. con la vida
30:52actually came out to anyone in real life. So that's tough. Also like, okay, so a lot of comments that I see are just, I'll see a lot of things that are like, chance always takes the devil's advocate side, blah blah blah blah blah. No, hold on now. There's really important, it's called critical thinking number one and critical reading. Who is writing this? Why are they writing it? And what is their point of view? And what do they have to gain or lose from writing this that is a really important thing to look at especially in these days on the internet where it's like is this true, where is this coming from why is it coming to me why am I being served this and what are they trying to do so we have to look at the author's point of view because history is written from the winner's perspective most often or whoever's writing it down is telling the story so there's always things y cosas de información que pueden o contar o nos y no often get a ver el otro side de la historia a lot of times cuando I'm on here I'm thinking ¿por qué están diciendo esto?
32:01¿qué están haciendo esto? ¿y están diciendo la verdad? most of the time I'm just like, yes, they're telling la verdad pero es un peligro de que decir que todos están diciendo la verdad y ella es diciendo her percepción y eso es exactamente el punto que me ha hecho She is telling us all of these things that she's seeing about this amazing person. I'm saying this from firsthand experience. I have been in her position where I'm like, they have to like me, right? They're doing this. They're doing this. They're doing this. And I will say about this time, 2021, was our social circles were pretty compact, especially with who we get to see in person every day.
32:43Yeah, true. And I'm saying this because In this same scenario I had a person That I was like they have to like me We are spending breakfast Lunch, dinner together We are doing every social thing together We met each other's parents We do all these things Like they have to like me And then they didn't like me So I'm coming from this I'm like oh you idiot Of course they do But she's telling it from how she's seeing it Porque ella ha confirmation bias Saying it that way She's also inexperienced In that world of dating She's 23 Yes And then you add on top That she's never actually been In a relationship with someone And you add COVID on Where it's like You're gonna click to one person Two people, three people And spend all your time with them anyway Yeah Because you're trying not to get COVID It's also a tough thing of like Are people allowed to just be Really good friends?
33:38Yeah Like are they allowed to become No Like you know Without it being like Oh well they're clearly Into each other Cause sometimes when you do cross that boundary or cross that line, no I guess it is a boundary. You rub against someone's boundary when you are trying to push it forward, but it's should be, I think it should be allowed to want more from a relationship, but it also can be allowed to sit in a relationship. You don't have to have more or want more. Um, but I think she loves her. All of this to say, o si se sienta le trägando. ¿Cómo si estáis en Obst Sangu?
34:37¿Cómo se hace? En el mundo
35:11a romantic type of love. You can continue loving this person in a non-romantic way. And they can sit just like that in your life. But I tried to set up, I was thinking about it for months, I'm an overthinker, and I was thinking about it and I was like, I tried to set up like a really like organic romantic situation where I could just kind of like softball pitch the feelings and be like, would you ever consider dating like me? Like where I feel like we do so many things ya está,
35:49ya está, ya está, ya está.
36:10Slept on it And it was super weird And then it was like Kind of like It was not a denial But it was like You're not crazy But like you've pushed things too far And I was like whoa whoa I was just softballing the pitch Nothing was different Can I ask was this someone who was saying Like they're not into you Or that they're not gay I've had that they're not gay before But they're not into me So this person was gay This person was gay This is a situation where they're just You thought So then how do you bridge the gay back Yes, I see So she has two possibilities She doesn't know if she likes her And she doesn't know if she's gay But you were in a situation where you knew someone was gay But were they into you or not So it's almost interesting that Her neighbor might be gay And also just might not be into her Just because she's gay doesn't mean There's two things going on And it is scary Es scary Porque you can have gay friends Yeah, absolutely You're like, what?
37:12I'm like, no I hate you guys I'm not a fan of you two He's like, you think we're friends? These past many years, I think you've been confused That's hilarious Friendship does not win Yeah, what? Oh, that's true Oh, wait, did you want to talk about how you would bridge the gap, Tommy? Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry I haven't really had a specific... I've had little things. Usually it's just like, I'm like, hey, are you gay? And usually they're like, nah. Because I think the easier conversation is, are you into me? Rather than, are you gay? 100%. Because what if this is her one woman she's into? And she doesn't identify as gay, but she's into this woman.
37:55And then you cover the gay thing if you say, are you into me? Yes, I'm into you. Then the gay part doesn't matter. The gay part doesn't matter. It doesn't need to matter. Y si no se assume Everyone es straight All the time Then you don't even Have to have A gay conversation You guys need to Stop assuming Everyone es straight But I mean There's a straight invisibility Everyone assumes Everyone is Or a lot of people Assume the default Is straight That's not the default That was so progressive Of you Thanks Wow Way to go Yeah Two strings now They were always Two strings Okay guys Chance's strings Have split into two The fidget strings are now two.

Now back to the show. So we have some comments here. They're gay. Someone started off by screaming. They said, ah! Honestly, judging by what you wrote, I'm pretty sure she's into women and into you, especially considering your neighbors' and friends' reactions. I'm a woman-loving woman myself, and I know this type of scenario can be so nerve-wracking. If that's your style, maybe you could wear some pride accessories around her, or mention some LGBTQ plus book movie show.
40:17I'm picturing wearing a shirt that just says I'm gay. I said target. Maybe you said target. That's exactly what I was thinking. The massive target. Wearing a fucking rainbow cape. ¿Verdad the Target Pride line from like two years ago? They stopped. They got scared. I mean, it should have stopped. God, I wish I would have got some of it. If you have Target Pride merch, I will give you a P.O. box. Some vintage Target. I want some vintage Pride merch. That's incredible. Wait. And everyone wanted to stop, but not the way they did. They managed to stop in a way everybody hated. Okay, I'm laughing at, I'm gay.
40:58¿Qué? ¿Are you? Es like, oh, sorry, this is my cousin's shirt. Do you agree? Okay, you could wear some pride accessories around her or mention some LGBTQ plus books, movies, show that you liked a lot. If it's not too obscure and she's into women, chances are she's seen slash read slash heard of it too and gauge her reaction. Sorry if this isn't much of a help for you. Either way, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Keep me updated. I love love stories Do you watch Heated Rivalry? Don't you wish that was two women instead? Do you like Rosie O'Donnell? Not Rosie
41:42OP responded to that saying I like this suggestion I feel like I could bring that into conversations fairly naturally Thanks My only worry then is if I still don't get a clear response But I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get into it When I get to it Someone else said ¿Por qué no te preguntar si tiene un plan de especial para el día de valentine? Y luego de que trabaja en la parte de ahí. Es un super light topic y un fácil de ver si hay alguien más o si te sugerir. Opie dice, Opie dice, Opie dice, Opie dice, Opie dice, Opie dice, ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale?
42:21¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? And that I was into And it is agony Oh that's rough I don't know the situation That's why I'm like that is not a good idea Because it is going to be like a friend's Valentine's Day thing Galentine And then she's not even gay And you split this whole thing And then you build up this narrative in your head That's a humiliation ritual on the map 100 % Wow That will scar you for Valentine's Day for years to come But do it Pero, ¿sí? ¿No lo que? ¿Por qué, girl? Ok. Update. ¿Littal? I really want this to work out. Yeah, ok. I really want this to work out. Me too. Ok, guys. Thank you so, so much for all your support and encouragement.
43:07You've all given me a lot to think about. I think I'm going to casually slip some gay stuff into conversation and see how she reacts. Hell yeah. Then bring up the neighbor's comments like some of you suggested, seeing as though the neighbor was heavily implying that we're gay. I'll do it tonight. Otherwise, I'll talk myself out of it again. I will post an update to let you know what happens. Eek, if you never hear from me again, I assume it went badly and I'm consoling myself with cake and watching Brokeback Mountain in floods of tears. Okay, so she's going to go up to her and just be like, what do you think about this carabiner I've got?
43:37It's pretty cool, right? And they twirl it around. That was awesome. Enough of your bits, Shane. Give me another update. Okay. Update number two. Yes, yes, yes, yes. This is the real update. Please, please. Hi Reddit, yes it's me, the useless lesbian. Damn, OP. Hi Reddit, yes it's me, the useless lesbian. First off, I want to thank you all for your support, encouragement, and advice. And the undeserved awards. I never expected this many of you to take the time to comment, and that so many of you were rooting for us. So I had the plan to drop these gay hints into Convo, like you guys suggested, but honestly, it all went out the window.
44:16Elle was kind of stressed Friday after a shitty work Zoom, y solo necesitaba venta y no era el momento de empezar aunque creo que me hubiera un poco a la vez que me hubiera todo el día overthinking cosas aquí como L turnedo a Saturday morning rambling about stressing me out y apologized por ruining dinner obviamente I said ¿qué tal? ¿qué tal? ¿qué tal? ¿qué tal? ¿qué tal? ¿qué tal? y ella me dijo ¿qué? y yo dije ¿qué? y yo y la tension fue unreal staring at each other y hoping our lesbian mind reading powers would kick in then there was some loud noise Like a car backfiring or something And the moment went So I went to make coffee and then Elle asked me Why I was a bit quiet the night before And I said something about overthinking stuff And she said what stuff And I don't know you guys I wasn't prepared to be put on the spot My casual gay pop culture References were useless at that moment My mind just went completely blank And I forgot every single thing you guys suggested And my heart was pounding And I just blurted out you know I like you right Good Good Y luego Se kissed me Kissed me We straight up just snogged in the kitchen And it was fucking great Snogged gross Hey she said arse before Being lesbian's cool, being British No I draw the line there Get your fiddled mash Away from me or whatever the hell you're eating Lesbian's fine But once you got gravy on shit So, you were right.
45:46You were all fucking right. She's gay. She likes me and has been trying to drop hints for nearly five months. Sigh. We were both just too scared to make a move or ruin anything. Turns out she's been burned by straight girls in the past, so she's pretty wary and was hoping I'd straight up say I'm a lesbian so she'd know for sure. Maybe the I'm a lesbian wall hanging would have been a good idea after all. Her friends have been helping her drop hints. She showed me the group chat and guys their suggestions range from flirting more to just turning up in a trench coat and nothing else lol. Also, the winking neighbor has been making comments to her as well.
46:20So shout out to her for trying to make this happen too. So no cake and cry watching Brokeback Mountain, just five months of dating to catch up on. As for worrying about how our current schedule could be more date-like during lockdown, you are right. It's kind of irrelevant when you've essentially been dating the whole time. Though we never made it to our morning run yesterday. In fact, we didn't leave the house at all. Ha, nice. Wow Incredible Thank you guys for giving me hope Even if all your suggestions completely disappeared at that moment Maybe I'll show her the post later And ask if any of the suggestions would have worked Aww That's beautiful And then she's like, you're a Redditor?
46:58She's like, I'm out I'm out Done That's sweet Love wins That was very sweet Very sweet Okay, moving on to our next story Es de AmiTheAsshole AmiTheAsshole for buying my girlfriend Vanilla Shampoo Is she allergic to vanilla Yes You're the asshole Why did you do that Moving on My girlfriend uses a few different types of shampoo And alternates between them One of them, a vanilla scented one Is my favorite She asked me to pick up some things for her at the store And on my way to checkout I saw the vanilla shampoo And grabbed that too Cuando me quedé back to her apartment She started putting away the things I bought She was confused by the shampoo And asked me why I got it I said that I saw it And knew she uses that kind And grabbed it for her She said she wasn't running low on shampoo I said I know But it doesn't expire And that one is my favorite I teasingly said that she should use it If she's planning to wash her hair tonight She asked what I meant By it being my favorite I said I like the way it makes her hair smell Like cookies She looked a little weirded out I asked her if she was okay She said it was weird that I sexualized her shampoo I said smelling nice is sexy I asked if she thinks I'm sexier when I use nice smelling soaps and deodorants She said not really, as long as I don't actively smell bad I said maybe it's different for everyone She said honestly it bothered her that something as mundane as shampoo was sexual to me She asked me if someone else smelled like vanilla, would I be attracted to them I said no, that she was misunderstanding me She asked me to clarify, but I don't think I did a good job.
48:41I said I specifically like the smell on her, not other people. She still seemed put out, so I headed home to give her space. Was I an asshole for buying the shampoo and telling her I like when she uses it? To me, that's not weird, but maybe that's because I'm a guy. Is there a layer to this I'm not seeing? You getting horned up in the spice aisle, pig?
49:03Saffron. Oh, oh. Okay. As we were talking about before, with every Reddit post, it's like, all right, we're opening the door into a relationship that's probably been going on for a long time. I feel like big, crazy things happen in relationships and people don't talk about it. And then it's the little tiny thing that happens and suddenly it blows up, right? There was Lotion Man back in the day. This is now Shampoo Guy. This is a similar thing. This is from his perspective. En patent интересно, it does come across as like, oh, she's finding a reason to be upset to get out of this. Exactly. That's what it reads to me.
49:43The hunch is, if we're going to try and find the other perspective, is maybe he's like overly sexualizing her often. That's what it sounds like. Everything is sexual. And she's a little tired of all of the sexualizing. And the window into that conversation for her is... Was the shampoo moment. Yeah. There could be a lot more information on this one to come. Verdict, not the asshole Comments
50:33y no solo paying attention a su phone ser importante OP said I thought I was being sexy and cute too she's my first real relationship so I acknowledge that I'm inexperienced here but I thought it was a very innocent way to flirt it's not like I bought her underwear yeah I guess we don't get to know how long they've been dating but either way if I heard this story I'm just like oh so you guys something's wrong this is bad yeah yeah um cause yes I agree like en un normal, healthy relationship, this would be normal. Yeah, that would be something. Yeah. It's like the whole idea of cologne and perfume.
51:12It's like, the smell can absolutely be sexy. Yeah. I feel like it's one of the most, like, it's common. Known, common thing. Yes. You're wearing my favorite cologne. Like, I'm wearing your favorite, like, perfume. Like, that is, it's interesting. Someone said, not the asshole. What on earth? You did something nice. She should have said thank you My husband comments if he likes my perfume She presumably buys the vanilla scented shampoo Because she also likes the smell Making it out like you're some weird freak For also liking the smell is wild It's like she was looking for something to fight about Yeah Opie said yeah I don't get it Liking certain smells is normal right Isn't that the point of scented things and perfume It's not a creepy thing to like And see then hearing everyone dogpile And mob mentality This woman who we didn't get her side of the story exacto at all it's like well what did the conversation sound like from her point of view and when else is this happening right sure I mean that is the tough thing what is he asking of her on a regular basis that might get her to do that yeah I would say this goes one of two ways for me it's like either we find out that oh he's been doing a lot like this he's been pushing like he's been saying do these things whatever I'm not of that camp believing that like yeah he said oh use this shampoo tonight Which is like, okay, maybe there's a lot of that going on.
52:33What it does also seem is like she wants to end this relationship and she's trying to find a way to do it. So I won't be shocked if we read an update and it's like, oh, she's cheating on me or whatever. Sure. There's that too. Update. Okay. Good. So here we go. All right. I fucked her shampoo. So yesterday my girlfriend didn't like it That I took it upon myself to buy her vanilla shampoo When I was picking some things up for her at the store We met up at her apartment again this morning For breakfast and I asked if we could talk About our boundaries and expectations Because I never want to make her feel uncomfortable Okay So I'm having a hard time believing that He's in the wrong She agreed that we should talk She said that when she visited her family over winter break She had time to think about our relationship y hablar con su parents y sister sobre mí.
53:23La primera cosa que se ha hecho es que no se ha hecho que no se ha hecho que no se encuentre en su apartment. I said, I completely understand this y que es welcome a ir a la casa de mi casa. Cuando nos firstes se ha hecho que no se viera a visitar mi casa porque de mi cuatro roommates. Pero cosas cambiaron y I get that. She still no se ha hecho que no se viera a la casa de mi casa porque de mi cuatro roommates though. She said que mi situación es demasiado crowded y que me ha hecho y me ha hecho que me ha hecho si quería
54:11¡Suscríbete al canal!
54:44Gracias por ver el video Sexy. That wasn't the right way to explain it. She didn't seem to understand where I was coming from. She asked me what was going through my head when I was at the store and if I was thinking about having sex with her. I said I was thinking about the store, the items I needed to buy, inflation, etc. And then I saw the shampoo and I thought about how she uses it and it makes her hair smell amazing and I bought it. She asked if I specifically thought about the way her hair smelled the last time we had sex. And I said yes, but it wasn't like I had a full sex fantasy in the store.
55:19It was momentary thought. She said that it isn't normal and I might have Tourette's or ADHD or OCD or some other condition that causes intrusive thoughts. Dude, break up. Just break up, my God. I'm really glad I made the last post because I was worried about what she said, but then I remembered all the commenters that mentioned also feeling the same way about scents. I told her I posted about our conversation in an anonymous online forum and several people feel the same way I do about smell. I said I think it is normal to feel that way about scents, but maybe it isn't ubiquitous. She said it isn't normal and I might want to talk to a doctor about potentially having hypersexuality Between her not liking my living situation and her not liking that I am attracted to her smell Which is probably my fault because I wasn't doing a good job of explaining things I realized we just weren't compatible I told her I thought maybe we had different needs for a relationship and maybe we'd be better off as friends She said she was disappointed in me but that she agreed We hugged it out, I'm a little bummed but we were only dating for four months Thanks for being my normalcy barometer Since I don't have one for relationships yet Okay, yeah Good Jesus Christ Her being like, you need to move out And him being like, I can't afford that She's like, ask your parents for money I'm like, oh, she is so naive She is not in the real world yet Your parents for Oh, just get money Yeah Just get more money What are you doing, you stupid idiot Only four months, too ¿Qué es la tuerrette?
56:46¿Qué es la tuerrette? Y tú eres un doctor? Sí, ella es como, no, no, no. Ella se ha diagnosticado con Tourette's, ADHD, y hypersexualidad. ¡Holy shit, bro! ¡Se ha preparado! ¡Gracias, buen Dios! ¡Also, cuatro meses! ¡No, si alguien está diciendo que cambiar tu situación y es diagnóstico con un día de cosas, ¡Vamos a cuatro meses! ¡Vamos a ir de ahí! ¡Vamos a ir de ahí! ¡Vamos a ir de ahí! ¡Vamos a ir de ahí! ¡Vamos a ir de ahí! ¡Update número dos! ¡Oh! ¡Oh! ¡Oh, sí! ¡Oh, sí!

1:00:40So, I think this is going to be a wild ride, so buckle up. And shout out to Hot Takes. For a little bit of context, OP and his girlfriend are Canadian. I, a 27-year-old man, and my girlfriend, 26-year-old woman, were saving for a house down payment. I work, and she is unemployed. I've saved about $23 ,000 USD, and she has saved roughly$3 ,000 USD. So, I feel like I bear the brunt of the financial decision-making here. I was doing the Oxford County Cheese Trail and found a vault release. They were selling a 140-pound wheel of 21-year-old cheddar. It was aged using a traditional cloth-bound method that's practically extinct here in Canada, and with over 21 years, it is extremely concentrated.
1:01:2521-year-old cheddar often sells for$120 a pound. The farm was selling the entire wheel for $18 ,500. That's roughly$13 ,000 Si se cuta en 200 gram wedges Y selló a$60 each $45 for us I can make $28 ,000 USD I bought the cheese wheel Y brought it home in my truck When I rolled it into our apartment At first, she was excited When I started to explain the financials And investment potential, she turned sour She didn't yell, but expressed She wasn't happy about how I spent my share Of our house savings She is now staying with her parents I think she's overreacting because she doesn't understand The Canadian housing market Our savings is not enough for a down payment Without a ridiculous mortgage And we need to take these opportunities Am I overreacting or am I the only one With ambition in our relationship Cheese Cheese So let me re-look at this math So he bought it for$18 ,000 He bought it for$18 ,000 And he's hoping he can sell it He can make$38 ,000 So he's hoping he can make$20 ,000 In Canadian cash He's going to turn this cheese around And make a big buck How big is the wheel?
1:02:46It's 140 pounds That's like half a guy Yeah You're going in a fucking That's a whole guy That is a whole guy Depending on the type of guy It's a lot of cheese But now he's got to go about selling all this cheese Right And that's tough. You gotta find interesting buyers. And it's just like. Door to door cheese. He's not gonna make all that back. You're not gonna sell all that product. I've watched Breaking Bad. This stuff isn't easy. No. And people want meth more than cheese. Yes. People want meth more than cheese. And that's the takeaway. He's on a corner and he's just got a big wheel of cheese.
1:03:24People are like, yeah, okay. Do you have cocaine? Yeah. He's got a trench coat. It's really lumpy. He's not in the cheese industry. No. Se ha no background en understanding cheese Nor, siendo un salesman As far as we know He took a huge leap And dropped almost$20 ,000 On cheese On cheese No, if I'm her, I'm pissed off 100 % He starts this off by being like Well, I have a majority of the savings It's like, well, one, not anymore But two, it's like, no, you guys are Saving up to buy a house together Your savings are your savings Yes Y así As he addresses the Canadian housing market Is awful, really hard to buy a house He just made it He set them back another year or so Probably, maybe a lot He did set them back He still has$5 ,000 To her$3 ,000 So he's still in charge He can still make all the decisions I mean, but it's like If we're coming to the table as equals And we're putting money for it together I'm like, well It's his money No es un joint account Es su savings account Para mí, yo creo que es más Como un percentage de lo que es Y también es un equipo Así que, ok, estamos pooliendo nuestro recursos He definitely should have asked her before Pero es también No creo que es un gran indicación Que es como, oh, we're saving up Para comprar este casa Pero él es como, oh, pero yo puedo Pueden mi dinero, pero Es como, you guys are going to Cambio de este mindset A poco Porque es esta casa o sea, lo de su espacuita es claimante que pare gi богa la presencia más donde lo soundca Y bueno, lo que pasa tenga que intermite
1:05:21la expulsanza de darparto mucho más注 20 ,000 pesos que es un llato que gegüense el dinero pero es como, ok, you're taking on this job. Ok. A full time job. How are you going to find those connects? I know. That's a ton. It's just like, you know, it's a very strange red flag to suddenly see your partner spend all that money on something that doesn't make sense. And I'm not a cheese expert but I'm like aware of like, guys, you're not going to believe this. I'm not a cheese expert. But he's talking about, oh, they're worth $140. They often sell for $120 a pound. It's like, yeah, that's best case scenario.
1:06:01Right. Like, that's a fluctuating market, I assume, like anything else. I don't know the cheese market. I don't either, but markets fluctuate. Yeah, I mean, like a Pokemon card's worth$1 ,000, but you put it online and no one's buying the$1 ,000 Pokemon card. Yeah, you know this guy had NFTs. Oh, 100%. I forgot about NFTs. How about that brain blast? Remember the monkey ape thing? That was crazy. Jimmy Fallon was like...
1:07:18His math was wrong. His math was wrong. His math was really bad. I'm not a good math person, but his math was really bad. His math was wrong. Sí, he should have, honestly, he could have posted en un otro reddit thread There's the reddit thread, they did the math Where you can, like, put Any sort of math question In there, and someone will respond And do the math He's the asshole What is the question? OP responded to that guy, though, saying You are dividing the 140 pounds By 7 ounces, but you are forgetting That there are 16 ounces in a pound So if you divide the 140 by 7 The$7 goes into$14 twice.
1:07:58Okay. The way he said that makes me not want to believe whatever he said. Yeah, I don't know if I'm buying this guy. Someone said, You spent$18 ,500 on cheese with no actual plan on how you're going to recoup that outside of, Yeah, I can totally sell this. Incidentally, your math is way off. Selling 317 wedges at$60 each comes to$19 ,050, which nets you a whopping$650 for what will surely be weeks of work on the completely off chance you manage to sell everything. Someone else said, who is going to pay$120 for a pound for cheese that some random person is selling out of their apartment? If I was going to spend that much, I'd want to know that it was stored and handled properly.
1:08:38And actually, do you need a food safety license to do this kind of thing? OP said, one, it's not a commodity. It's a heritage cheese and the value is determined by the scarcity. You can't get this cheese from a regular retailer. Two, I have my Ontario Food Handler's Certificate. Okay. Someone said, after you cut the cheese, how long will the wheel stay fresh? Can you store it appropriately to preserve it for that length of time? OP said, the cheese will not spoil. After 21 years, all the moisture has been replaced by calcium lactate crystals. Once the wax seal is broken, I will be putting it in my chest freezer.
1:09:15Someone said,
1:09:40O.P. said,
1:09:46for me to make financial decisions like investing in high-yield assets like the traditional cloth-bound 21-year-age oxford character cheddar wheel not the full title not the government name of the cheese oh brother listen I don't care all this math in and out I don't give a fuck no I don't care either he's a weirdo controlling guy who spent all his money on cheese and didn't even do the math right he's a dumbass I thought at first that it was going to be like oh, he bought this wheel of cheese for like 500 bucks. Yeah. Or something. That's much more reasonable. It's like, yeah, but no, you dropped$18 ,000.
1:10:23If you're dropping, if you're dropping near$20 ,000 on something with the expectation you're going to make money, you've been scammed. I think he deserves death. We should kill him. And I'm not, I'm not like exaggerating. He should be wrapped in a cloth and aged in the crowd. To be clear, the Redditors who, and if a Redditor responds con un detalle math assessment. You should believe them. He said, you're at most going to make $600 off of this. He bought this cheese at market price. Because he did bad math, he thought that he was getting it at a deal when actually it was sold to him at the price that it's worth.
1:11:04Then he just completely fudged this. I love, though, I love when the OP responds to comments disproving them. I'm like, you posted on Reddit asking for responses and then you're going to go to war. I'm like, alright man. I'm going to be entertained by it. He could have bought a used car and flipped it and made it a nicer car. That makes slightly more sense than a cheese wheel. But still. Truly, he would have been better off just investing the money into just an account. Oh, you mean not spending the money? Just not spending your money. You would have so much more money. Update. No. Okay. I don't need an update.
1:11:52I do. We need it. What if he got rich? Okay, then I would like that. If he got super rich, that would be awesome. This guy is a character from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Yes. Like, this is Charlie. This is a Charlie move. I have taken some of your feedback into consideration from my last post. For those curious, my girlfriend is no longer in the picture. She cracked due to low risk tolerance So I've decided to go all in on the business She cracked due to low risk tolerance That's Cheese is high risk Cheese is high risk tolerance I initially tried to return the wheel to the distributor To recoup some capital Thinking they'd have some pity They were actually considering it Until they came out to look at it in my truck Apparently the minor heat damage I caused to the paraffin wax While trying to open last week Compromised the wheel que fue ya no refundable en el primer lugar desde que ahora estuvo con un 140 lb$30 ,000 asset y tu pivote a asset protection y keep lo que aún hay I went out y bought a true TBB 2HC 59 inch solid door back bar cooler a professional digital temperature humidity controller and industrial humidifier a vacuum sealer and ripening mats total cost was about $8 ,500 That's all this man blew his money on the cheese Expensive, yes But I wasn't going to let a$30 ,000 investment depreciate value I've started to notice that This is a thing that dudes do And if they use these certain words They think that they're being smart It's like, no man You spent money on cheese And now a cooler Depreciating value You're talking about the cheese is melting in your truck That's what is happening You got the inside of a mozzarella stick All over the back of your truck Stop saying ass that you have cheese In your truck Stop it Whenever a guy comes to you If you have a cousin Everybody has a cousin who's probably doing this Coming at you with those words They don't know what they're talking about They don't know what they're talking about Okay So he's now blown all of his money The delivery was difficult My apartment door is narrow So I had to take the door entirely off the hinges y shimmy el cooler en la habitación.
1:14:09I had maybe a millimeter de clearance entre el frame y el unit. I was exhausted and excited, so I started researching installation on my phone before putting my front door back on. That's when my landlord walked in. Apparently, he believes my door being off the hinges somehow removes my reasonable right to privacy. We already have a strained relationship because of my own use of the unit. He still holds a grudge because I was doing some light metal fabrication con un consumo de plazma en mi casa un mes ¿Qué es lo que estamos haciendo? ¿Qué es lo que estamos haciendo? ¿Qué es lo que es un plazma?
1:14:43¿Qué es lo que está haciendo? He's starting to win me over This guy This guy Kramer here is pretty awesome Just because there's no door and no hinges he doesn't have the right to look in my apartment that he owns He saw the cooler, the vacuum sealer y le deal de este chico y está ma showed up sobreի sudevio y las cryamos explosion el Fíjero I told él muy caro el che era para personal consummación popcorn gracias por lo que es�.. eso es como son quepleo el dinero que es incursable Am I overreacting? I'm being evicted over dietary preferences as far as the landlord is concerned and I feel like this is an unlawful action.
1:15:37Edit, I added a plus to the evaluation as it is possible to increase my margins depending on the quantities I sell in. Also, please bear in mind that I have sold zero cheese so I feel like this is a premature action. Bear in mind that I haven't done anything. Bear in mind that this is a huge L so far. He has photos of the cheese wheel y el avión de noticación. Gracias. Cuando estaba pensando, esto ha sido fake. No, he posted fotos de la cheese. Es pequeño. No, que es 140 pounds. Maybe es como tungsten. Maybe es realmente heavy. Wait, guys, si te escuchas, ¿qué te escuchas? ¿Qué te escuchas? ¿Qué te escuchas?
1:16:19¿Qué te escuchas? ¿Qué te escuchas? ¿Qué te escuchas? ¿Qué te escuchas? Es pequeño. Es muy compact. Apparently, cheese es heavy, como gold. Esto es como un poof que se senta en tu living room. It's black. That's the wrapping. That's the wax. And then that's a receipt. Oh, it's duct taped. Yeah, that's duct taped. He duct taped it back together. Also, OP's hand is in the frame. He's got a spider tattooed on his hand. And it looks like a dagger. Oh, his username is on the back of his hand. That's awesome. La garantía que es él. Él quería todo el mundo a saber que esto es real. Es no duct tape, Shane.
1:17:03Él es reenforzando sus assets. Sí, él es reenforzando sus assets. Él es secundaria sus assets. Secundaria sus assets así que los margens puedan ser quantitativos. Y si hubiera multiple cheeses, él hubiera sido diversificando sus assets. Exacto. Que es lo que se ha hecho. Que se ha hecho. Se ha hecho hecho un blu de cheese como. Ok, este es increíble. Este es increíble. I am so feliz. Este es real. Este es increíble. y es among us y he votes y ha y ha he has all this money he definitely has never voted in his life no this guy does not vote he has all this money how did he get all that money and then lost it so fast and you're talking to this guy and you're like oh how did you blow $40 ,000 and he explained this I'd been like you should have just gone to Vegas like have fun with it his odds were better to go to Vegas and gamble it it's just not enough cheese for me like if you're gonna buy $20 ,000 of cheese I need to see some cheese This is heritage Who cares I want big cheese Big bugs, big cheese Big bug, big cheese Comments I hope girlfriend got her$4 ,000 back OP said integrity is an asset That does not depreciate Unlike her savings which will be eaten by inflation I I gotta punch this guy Bro, that's it I thought there was more I thought there was more That guy lost everything over cheese Good Holy fudge He truly lost his girlfriend, all of his money, and his apartment He absolutely destroyed his life For cheese He deserves it He deserves it Okay, but real talk How yummy you think that cheese is Oh, you know that cheese is probably so good I'm hungry for the cheese Let me just talk about the crystals in there Oh, I had a cheddar last night.
1:18:55Crunch, crunch, delish. I'm like, maybe I'd be a customer. I would buy some cheese. I'd buy some cheese at Market Products. You have his handle. Oh, I'm not going to reach out to him. It's also been over a year. This was this month. Oh, this was this month. Wait, we have to get some of his cheese. We got to get some cheese. All right, we'll buy some of his cheese. We'll buy some of your cheese. I'm sure he's hoping from how viral this went that he's going to sell some cheese. Oh, it might.
