0:36Courtney Miller:I don't know why it blows my mind that I'm like, oh, we have fans here? Our uploads make it across the Atlantic? Had no idea. I am so excited for this show tonight. This is incredible. I keep saying that over and over again. I really love this city. It's my third time here in London. I always have a blast. And I love the people here. I really do. You guys are a great time. Well, look, I can sit here and talk forever, but I have some lovely guests today.
1:10Courtney Miller:Our first guest, I've been here in London with them. We've had a great time here. Please welcome Courtney Miller.
1:33And also joining us, we had to bring our biggest Shakespeare fan.
1:39Courtney Miller:Please welcome Angela Giratana.
2:00Wow!
2:03Courtney Miller:Even though the mic was five feet away from you, we heard that. How you doing, London?
2:13Courtney Miller:We've been having a great time already. I mean, we got in yesterday. We're feeling good. We're feeling refreshed. Obsessed with you all. Yeah, truly. We've gone to some pubs already. We did it. Having a great time. Cider people in the house?
2:31Courtney Miller:Let's go. Huge for you. Big day for me. All right. Well, look. This is crazy. I know.
2:40Courtney Miller:When we started, like, talking about this tour, when London got brought up, I don't know why that just caught, I was just, like, scared. I was just like, oh, my God, London. Oh, my God. Because you guys are, like, smart, hot, cool. You're like, it's just, you guys, you have it all together. We're going to have a crowd of people. and they're all going to have cool English accents. What are we going to do? Oh my God, speaking of which, apologies in advance because it comes out, the English accent, and just, I'm so sorry when it does. Yeah. The Scots, fish accents, love it. To be honest, whenever we do any sort of accent, it's probably going to be all over the place.
3:20Courtney Miller:You're going to be like, what region are they? No, as it goes, try to figure out what region we sound like because we were talking about that before. It's like, when I do a British accent, what does it sound like? I don't know. We'll see. We'll find out. Yeah, I think someone said Australian and I was like, that's correct. It probably is what it sounds like. All right, well, shall we hop into our first story? This is cool. Yeah. Let's do it. I can't say get your pancakes out. Are pancakes like a big deal here? Okay. Okay. Get your crumpets out. What if they were like, what the fuck? Get out! Get out of my face!
3:58Get your beans and toast out. Yeah.
4:02Courtney Miller:I didn't do that today, but tomorrow. We're getting beans and toast, yeah. Okay. Our first story.
4:12Courtney Miller:Comes from Am I the Asshole. Posted in May of this year.
4:21Courtney Miller:No. It's not going good for me. Two households in fair Verona where we lay our seat
4:31Courtney Miller:Okay Am I the asshole for forwarding my wife an Instagram reel of a recipe After she asked what I want for dinner tomorrow Okay Okay Let's hear this out Let's hear them out My wife asked me what I'd like for dinner tomorrow And I was thinking about it I saw this Instagram reel of a yummy looking recipe I forwarded it to her said she could try cooking this. She went ballistic at me saying that only she cooks, that I never cook, that she's not a servant whose job is only to cook and I order her around what to cook. I literally didn't order her around. I didn't say cook this for me or else. She asked for suggestions.
5:12Courtney Miller:So I gave one. That's it. I told her we can go to a restaurant instead or we can try cooking it together on the weekend. I literally never ordered her to cook for me or told her. She merely asked for a suggestion. so I gave one. Edit. Additional notes because everyone's asking the same questions and I can't reply to 200 comments. I never cook. I do the dishes every day. I do the dishes every day and other chores, but I finish work late and it's easier for me to just either eat out on weekends or some simple packaged food. I can do pan fry steak. It was a simple beef noodle recipe that looked yum.
5:53Courtney Miller:she's done more complex things and similar things before she likes trying new recipes and has even told me she does even if i did something wrong i didn't deserve to get shouted at okay let's ask our audience really quick what are we what are the vibes you're getting off this i know we're dealing with like kind of a little bit of a minimal information here a lot of people saying not the asshole i'm seeing some you're the asshole it's kind of i'm saying mostly not the asshole. I think that's fair. I think that's fair. Cause from this, from OP sending this over, he's like, he's just like, Oh, here's an Instagram reel.
6:28Courtney Miller:He's making it sound like, Oh, I sent this over. Cause you're asking. Yeah. I think what maybe I'm picking up though, is that it's like, Hey, what's something I can cook? And him just like on the couch, just like, boom, just, just DMing it to her. Maybe feels a little disrespectful. Does it say he sent it right after she asked? We don't know yet. It's kind of giving, she was like, let me know what you want to do for dinner tonight. And then he just, in the next hour, was sending. Like, that's kind of how I picture it. I feel like she's been holding on to these feelings for a while. Do you know what I mean?
7:04Like, she's like, I always cook. Yeah. It doesn't feel like it's about the noodle recipe. It doesn't feel like it's about the noodle recipe. It feels like it's about the fact that he never cooks.
7:14Courtney Miller:Yeah. She's bringing up a ton of other things. So I feel like we're getting the final straw here. I, something though that I don't like is how he says it looked yum. That's so funny you said that. I don't know why. I didn't like that either. I did not like that. I just like, okay, did we like that he said that looked yum? Well, let's get, yeah, okay. Okay, so we agree on that. I don't like when adults say yummy or yummers. Yummy? I think yummy can be fine, but it's... If you're talking to a child, yes. He used it multiple times. And then he said, I can do pan-fry steak. Good for you, bro. As if that's like something awesome.
7:53Okay, wait, but I just realized we were eating little carrots in the green room earlier. And I was going, yum, yum, yum. And nobody...
8:00Courtney Miller:And now we're on stage going, I fucking hate when people say yum. It's the worst thing anyone could ever do. And then we both next to you go, yeah, I don't like yum either. Yeah, I fucking hate that. I didn't hear you say that. Maybe it's like when a guy is like, that looks yum. I think it's because he's talking about such a serious thing of like, so I'm having a fight with my wife, but this thing looked yum. It's like, it feels like different vibes here. I also can see how she feels like she's being asked a lot of. Just like shooting a recipe over, it's like giving her homework. Like, oh, so I just need to handle this, go get the ingredients and do all this myself.
8:34Like it's coming across ungrateful. If you scroll up and there's not like funny videos he's sending throughout the day or like a this made me think of you, and it's just the grocery list? It's tough.
8:46Courtney Miller:That's tough. It's tough. The verdict on Reddit was asshole. And the comments go, you're the asshole. That question has an inherent implication of her asking for something that she's done before. She wasn't asking for an assignment. She was asking for a suggestion. She wouldn't be so pissed off if she wasn't the only one responsible for feeding y 'all. That's 5 ,000 upvotes. Someone responded to that saying, yes, when I ask someone what they want for dinner, I'm expecting them to say something I cook on a semi-regular basis, or at least have made before. Not, here's a recipe, give it a try. Okay, it's gotta be on the menu.
9:23Courtney Miller:I think it's maybe it's one of those things where like every couple has their different type of like communication styles. And it sounds like she's not happy with this. Someone said, everyone sucks here. This sounds like resentment has been building up for a while. perhaps you need to sit down and have a heart-to-heart before worrying about who is wrong in this specific instance i think that's that's fair let's give that an applause yeah um op left a comment and they said insane that you guys are still commenting on an argument that i had almost a week ago whereas my wife and i have completely forgotten about it and made up All right.
10:05Courtney Miller:After we applaud, we're like, oh, boo, fuck you. It's like, dude, you left a Reddit post. It's literally so childish. You guys are responding to something I posted on the internet. Wouldn't it be funny if we commented on our YouTube videos? Like, why are you guys talking about this? Oh, yeah, sorry. We posted this like five days ago. What are you guys talking about? I'm sorry. Why are you clipping me trying to be funny? Get over it. You know what? This reminds me of a story. Do I have time to tell you a story? Yeah, you have time to tell a story. Oh, it's not that good a story. It's not that good a story, and I'm going to regret saying it, but it just made me think of something that I completely forgot.
10:45In my household, my mom has made these cookies that my dad loves, right? And he's obsessed with these cookies. And then every time she makes them for, like, Christmas and stuff, he goes, oh, he always gives a note. And he's always like, I mean, that's a great guy, okay? but it's just something that was like so normalized right and he was like not enough chips this time a little bit too burnt a little right and then over the pandemic I remember my mom is out of town for a long time and I was like I want to nail her recipe and I did it like three times trying to get it right each time he'd go it's a little bit more like this it's a little bit more like this by the third time I remember going hold the fuck on have you ever made a cookie in your life, okay?
11:30Yeah. And he was like, it's actually, she puts them in like this and it does this. And I was like, you don't know a single fucking thing.
11:37Courtney Miller:Then make your own fucking cookies. Yeah, but I was like, she was so normalized that he was just noting the food and I was like, totally, totally. She likes it like this. Got it, got it, got it. Yeah. I couldn't fathom critiquing someone's cooking like that. If they're making stuff for me, I'm not going to say anything. You can't fathom it? I can't fathom it. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't do that unless they were like, hey do you have feedback yeah and then be like okay maybe something i've had friends or people i'm dating send me a recipe being like we should do this friday oh that's fun like well as a group effort yeah you have to like be like all by the ingredients or something at least team effort yeah yeah yeah like remember that one time i sent you like 10 reels in a row of a specific salmon recipe yeah no i do remember that oh that's funny that you actually did this exact thing that's actually so crazy.
12:27Courtney Miller:No, no. But like, didn't you tell me to send them? And you went yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. I did attempt to make it. That was the salmon recipe and I did okay. I need to keep trying it. We're cooking, guys. We're trying. We're trying. This episode of Reddit Stories is sponsored by Quince.

Let's move on to our next story, and this also has to do with food. But a little bit crazier, maybe. Okay. It's time to get a little bit crazy in here. Food, but crazy. Crazy food. Our next story comes from Am I the Asshole? And it was posted in 2020.
14:16It was tough out here, too, huh?
14:19Courtney Miller:No way. That happened here also? You guys have a shit year too? That's crazy. That sucks. Am I the asshole for eating sexy potatoes?
14:33Oh, sexy way.
14:34Courtney Miller:Sexy potatoes. It honestly feels ridiculous that I have to post this, but my coworker has been getting onto me about this for weeks now. So I have to ask. My whole life, I've been eating potatoes by microwaving them, then biting into them, eating them hot dog style. This is the easiest, most convenient and intuitive way for me to eat potatoes. Sweet potatoes or regular. I think this is how people in Japan eat them, or at least this is how I was taught by my Japanese parents to eat them. Okay. Everyone was laughing at that. Oh. Now you guys feel bad. Oh. Got you. I was going to ask, did Olivia write this one?
15:25Because she just talked about this on Smosh Mouth. She just talked about eat, like, yeah. She cooks a potato and just, I'm going to say raw dogs it with a paper towel and just bites into that thing. You know who does that too? Damien brings them from home. Big sweet potato.
15:40Courtney Miller:Yeah. He cuts them open. He'll have it on a plate. You're still eating it like it's a piece of... The other sexy way. Other sexy way. Okay, so whenever I go to the grocery store, I always pick out the most easily biteable potatoes, which are generally longer and thinner than most potatoes. You get the picture. So we're getting the idea. So I work in an office of about 30 people. We all typically bring our own lunch, and I usually just eat at my desk while doing work. No one has ever commented about how I eat potatoes, but I do eat them quite frequently. Recently, a new person was hired, and she clearly has a problem with the way I eat potatoes.
Read the full transcript
16:25Courtney Miller:A couple times, she pulled me aside and asked me to just eat potatoes a more normal way. Shut up. Multiple times? A couple times, it says? A couple times. She's like, hey, can I level with you for a second? Can you stop? Hey, me again. That thing I said last week, I really meant it. Yeah, those potatoes. Put it on a plate. I asked her what she meant, and she said I was eating potatoes too suggestively. I was a little shocked because I literally just have my eyes glued to my screen whenever I'm eating and barely pay attention to how I eat. I told her no one else seemed to have a problem with the way I eat potatoes, but she insisted others were just too polite to say anything.
17:06Courtney Miller:I asked a few other co-workers who all were just as confused as me about what she was saying. I figured no one else really had a problem with it. But this happened multiple times. She kept coming to me and asking me to tone down the way I eat. Tone it down? Tone it down. Even accusing me of going out of my way to choose sexy potatoes. I've considered bringing them other ways, but this is just the easiest way for me to eat them. And they're honestly delicious like this to me. I asked her to maybe just not watch me eat. But apparently that's just not feasible. Unfortunately, she reported me. What?
17:47Courtney Miller:And now I have a meeting with HR next week. This seems really dumb to me, but am I the asshole for eating sexy potatoes? All right, immediately, I'm not seeing a single you're the asshole here. I see one. One person was like, no, just kidding. Wait, is OP, is it all femmes involved? What was the gender of OP? I'm so sorry. It doesn't matter. I actually, I think, I don't know if they actually say, they don't give their own. It's still weird to do that to somebody, no matter what the gender. This is, could you imagine? HR, I have a question on my coworker, so she can't eat like that anymore. Yeah.
18:30Courtney Miller:Oh, we do, earlier on it, yes, she is a woman. OP is a woman, and her op is also. Her op? Yeah. Well, her op is obsessed with her. her arch nemesis who cannot stand sexy potatoes. What the hell is going on with this coworker? I can't understand. Like, just look away. Just look away. And also just be like, your potato eating is making me too horny. Therefore, you must stop it. You must eat it normal. I'm thinking of you in the flip seven. Just eat, just be normal. Just be normal.
19:09for the life of me cannot recreate that i don't know what happened i was genuinely guilty in that moment okay i think this co-worker has a massive crush on this girl right i mean it's a good theory Why is anyone the way anybody's eating anything a problem to anybody in the room? And if it's too sexy, I guess it's turning you on and you need to figure that out.
19:37Courtney Miller:Yeah. God forbid someone eats a banana. Like, truly. Or a hot dog. Or a corn dog. Yeah. Or a taquito. Or corn on the cob and you just slam it, you know? You do it like Scooby-Doo style where you put it in your mouth and pull it out and all the corn's gone. Or biscuits and gravy. What? I was trying to think of a non-phallic one, and I was going for boobs. Oh, got it. And biscuits. And yeah, and biscuits. And they're like, what? What really bothers me is bringing this to HR. That's wild. There's a lot of confidence there to believe you're going to bring it to HR, and HR's going to be like, I am so sorry.
20:21Yeah.
20:21Courtney Miller:I cannot believe she's eating sexy potatoes in our workspace. This is like at church camp when they would tell us tankinis were too sexy and they would lead the boys to sin. We're like, so our tankinis are the problem, not their brains. Yeah. Right. Right. It's not her potatoes problem. No, I definitely think she could flip the script. It's so crazy to have to wait a week to deal with this situation. She says she has an HR meeting next week. Like, you flip the script, someone keeps coming up to her and telling her she eats potatoes sexy. Yeah. That's weird. Or like, to report to HR, hey, I'm being stared at all of lunch every day.
21:02Yeah. That's bigger than the way she...
21:05Courtney Miller:With binoculars from across the room. Quick potato conversation. Okay, let's go. So I was informed of something about the UK, and it's that they have jacket potatoes.
21:22What is it? What is it?
21:23Courtney Miller:Jacket potatoes are beans slash tuna, right? Yeah. What do you mean, beans slash tuna? It's like, of course it's beans. Like, what's the UK version? It's like, they're going to put beans there. Like, that's, hey, look, it works. It's like toast, beans. Okay, so it's a - Potatoes, beans. It's beans on potato? Beans on potato. Or tuna on potato. Yum. That's a jacket. That's a jacket? Yeah. That's, it's a jacket. That's the jacket. Like, this is my beans. Or tuna. Tuna beans. Is it beans and tuna? No. No. Okay. Those are two different versions of jacket potatoes.
22:04Yeah. Never did I think that I'd be in London and people go, beans! Beans! There's so many of you. I love this place.
22:16Courtney Miller:Cheese. Cheese? Cheese. We thought you were saying beans, and then it was cheese. That is... Because we have... We do... That was crazy! Me watching Even Stevens. Beans! Because, you know, U.S. has baked potatoes, which are loaded with... We have sour cream, cheese, bacon. They're basically the same thing. Oh, okay. I mean, beans, we don't put baked beans in. You'd be hard to find that, but it sounds great. There's a new TikTok fad, too, where you take a sweet potato and you put a stick of cheese in it. And then, yeah, it's not on TikTok. I wouldn't do that, guys. It's too sexy of a food, and I'm a virgin.
23:06I think that sounds great.
23:07Courtney Miller:No, cheese and potatoes go perfectly together. Yeah. Almost any variation. That's fine. I'm cool with that. You know what I've done? I've taken a baked potato, put some chili in there. Yeah. So you're putting beans in there. With beans and meat. Yeah. Putting all sorts of stuff. All sorts of stuff. And then there's also roast potatoes.
23:33Courtney Miller:In duck fat. Someone showed me a picture of that and I was like, that looks good. That looks good as hell. And yeah, and chips here. We had some chips yesterday and they're so fucking good, man. I mean, they're, you know, yeah. Oh my God. Could you imagine if when we did Spud Hut, all the taters were too sexy? It's a not sexy food. Like it's wide and like, it, you know. Well, she's, she's. You know what I mean? It's like, it does, it's not like a phallic in any way. Yeah. She's going to the grocery store and she is, she's sifting through those piles of potatoes to find the most dick shaped potatoes.
24:12Okay. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, it just doesn't seem like that to me.
24:16Courtney Miller:Okay. Well, the verdict on Reddit was not the asshole. Comments, not the asshole. Jeez, wait until she hears about bananas. That's what I said. So he said that. He said banana. So he said that. Fuck you, I said that. Not the asshole. She is the one being sexually inappropriate by sexualizing the way you eat and the shape of the food you eat. Also, her harassment and insistence on watching you eat when she personally finds it sexual is also pervy. Bring that up to HR. Let them know that her insistence on sexualizing you doing mundane activities makes you incredibly uncomfortable and the way you eat is cultural and she is being a little xenophobic too.
24:55Courtney Miller:Your coworker, damn. You guys went big word. Hit him with the three punches. It's not the United States. They read here. Yeah, they went. It's crazy. If we did that in LA, they'd go. Huh? Let's get matcha.
25:14Courtney Miller:Your co-worker imagining you giving a blowjob every time you eat is the real issue here. Sorry, I didn't finish that comment. Well, yes. Someone said, not the asshole. Curious, though, do you put anything on them? Butter, sour cream, salt and pepper? Or is it just a microwave potato eaten plain? He goes, because then you're the asshole. Because then you're fucking weird. Last comment, not the asshole. And I can't wait to hear about this meeting with HR. Please update. But that would be crazy because then they would have to log back on. They'd have to get back on and I don't know if they... Oh.
25:57Courtney Miller:That's right. Update! Yeah!
26:11What
26:34Up day, up day, up day
26:41OJ! OJ! OJ! OJ! OJ! OJ! OJ! OJ! OJ! OJ!
26:50OJ!
26:51Courtney Miller:Get out of here, Ian! Could you believe he flew all the way to the UK to do that? Just for that, his flight's in, like, half an hour. Wow. Okay, I'm so excited. Here we go. Wow, I'm amazed that we just moved around a lot for being jet-lagged. I know. I was this close to crowd surfing.
27:21Courtney Miller:You somehow make it up to there, to the top. It's like, how'd she get up there? They launch you up. How are you guys up there? Oh, my God! Wow. That's crazy. Okay. Okay, update. So, I had a couple meetings with HR. The first one was on my own yesterday morning, alone with the HR woman. According to her, a co-worker had reported me for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment. With potatoes? With potatoes! Not going to lie, after hearing those accusations, I was honestly pretty scared. Sexual harassment is a really serious charge. Yeah. I was allegedly making lewd gestures while eating, despite repeatedly being asked to stop.
28:09Courtney Miller:I told her exactly what had happened. I was eating potatoes the same way I always had in the four years I've worked in this office. No one else ever had a problem with this until now. The new co-worker, let's call her Karen, approached me. You guys have those here too? Are there British Karens? Ooh, sounds tough. Sounds tough. Sounds tough. The new coworker approached me telling me I was eating potatoes inappropriately and told me to eat them another way I had explained to her that this was how I grew up eating them and would not stop if it bothered her She she could and should look away. I continued eating potatoes this way Then over the next several weeks.
28:49Courtney Miller:She kept complaining about my potatoes every time I ate them this way As I explained my side I could tell HR was getting really annoyed I don't think she believed that this was all there was to it. She pressed for more information Are you sure you didn't do anything to make her believe you were being inappropriate? Jeez, what were you wearing when you were eating the potatoes? Are you sure you weren't harassing her, even unintentionally? I told her I never even talked to her unless it was about work or if she approached me first. HR thanked me for coming in and told me she'd get back to me. We shared a potato and enjoyed our time.
29:23Courtney Miller:So I gave her a potato. I think she met with Karen after that. Then later in the day, we had a meeting with the three of us. Karen says that I lied about not doing anything to make her uncomfortable and that after the first time she came to me asking me to eat my potatoes differently, I dismissed it as a joke, which to be fair, I did because, um, dead ass. Which I acknowledged because who wouldn't take it as a joke? Then she claimed that after each time she asked me to tone it down, I escalated by choosing increasingly sexy potatoes to eat in front of her. By which point, I'm pretty sure HR was trying hard not to roll her eyes.
30:04Courtney Miller:I responded by telling Karen I literally gave zero thought about her when I bought my potatoes and selected them based on ease of cooking slash eating. She accused me of making eye contact with her while I was eating. Oh, honey, you have to take a shower and go home. In that order. Which I think I did every time she watched me eat Because it's really uncomfortable having someone watch me eat Which I explained and told her I had repeatedly asked her to stop watching me eat Then she pointed out that no one else eats potatoes this way And the only reason I would do so is to try to be provocative Which I swear to God, HR almost laughed at her I just showed her a video of Japanese people eating potatoes with their hands and biting into them They watched a video in this meeting.
30:56It's like, let's see fruit. They watched a video of a human eating a potato in this HR meeting.
31:01Courtney Miller:Yeah. Oh, no. HR woman knows me and knows I'm not the type to harass someone or deliberately make a hostile work environment. And at the end, she just said something like, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. Perhaps it really would be best to look another way while your coworker is eating. Look another way. Look another way. Face the corner. basically trying to politely tell Karen to get her head out of her ass. Then Karen tried to turn it around by claiming that I was making a hostile work environment by telling our other co-workers bad things about her. But literally all I had done was ask others if they were uncomfortable with the way I eat and explaining why I had asked them.
31:42Courtney Miller:She tried yet another angle, claiming that the way I ate them with my hands was a COVID risk and that I was putting the safety of the office in jeopardy by eating this way. HR then said that if she was so concerned, she was welcome to work from home, as is currently company policy. I work in hardware, so it's harder for me to work from home, but Karen works in support, so it would be really easy for her to work from home. You can just do that at home. You can do it at home. Karen. Go home, Karen. Go home. Eventually, Karen had to concede she had nothing left, so we were all dismissed. Oh. Yeah.
32:15Woo-hoo! When Karen has nothing left.
32:19Courtney Miller:Later, I talked to my coworker who had stopped bringing curry because of Karen. Yo. Oh, my God. Let's call him Surya about the problems I had with her. He had been unable to eat his regular Indian lunches in the office because of her. We were both extremely annoyed. Yeah. A pattern is forming. We were both extremely annoyed, and honestly, I just felt extremely uncomfortable being in an office where she was constantly judging Asian people's food. So I decided to file a report with HR. As suggested... As suggested by many of you. I pointed out how she was harassing Asian people for their food choices, and many of her comments towards me were bordering on sexual harassment.
33:04Oh, this is fucked up.
33:07Courtney Miller:Yeah. Surya agreed to bring curry for lunch today, and in solidarity, I brought some too, along with my potatoes. and I put high heels on my potato Karen didn't comment at all but she did give us dirty looks and made disgusted faces a few times I actually got called into a meeting this afternoon with my boss who is also one of the founders of the company he confessed that he didn't like Karen either and that she had multiple complaints about her within the first month of her being hired she's been here just under two and that he had hired her as a favor to his wife because she is his wife's cousin and had lost her job due to COVID.
33:49Courtney Miller:I wonder why they chose to let her go. You know what? I say this all the time. Never trust your wife's cousin. Never. Never do it. And I'm telling you that all the time. No, we're literally constantly. And I'm saying that all the time. I mean, Reddit stories is all about like talking about boundaries and not trusting your wife's cousin. Okay. He apologized to me on her behalf and assured me that he would talk to her. I decided to keep my harassment claim with HR. and have another meeting tomorrow. We'll see how this goes. Thank you all for your tips and suggestions. I will keep eating sexy potatoes for the foreseeable future.
34:25As you should. As you should.
34:29Courtney Miller:I do want to be clear. If I am at the grocery store and I see a potato that is fully shaped like a dick and balls, I am buying it. And I will post it. You guys, I'll post it. And he'll post it, so then if you see a potato that looks like dick and balls, send it to Shane. Please. Please do. And we'll decide, you know, is this dick and balls going to be a jacket potato, a baked potato? What are we going to do with this? He looks so serious. He's so serious. Guys, this is really, this is serious. All right. I don't joke about sexy potatoes. I've never really looked at this picture that big. To be clear, when we took that photo, I didn't know it would be, like, used this big.
35:11You also look married AF in it.
35:22Courtney Miller:Okay. We have another story before our intermission, our little break, which is new. I've never done that before. First intermission for us. Pretty cool. Love it. Is that what they're called here? Interim. They're going beans. Interval. Beans. It's Beans. Cheese! Cheese! Cheese! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
35:53Wait.
35:54Courtney Miller:Our director Emily is writing in. She's like, watching the ASL interpreter do the cheese yell is wild. Cheese! Cheese! Cheese! Bs!
36:12Give it up for the ASL interpreter.
36:19Ah, yes.
36:21Courtney Miller:Okay. Yes, it's not ASL. It's a different - ESL. ESL. Bs! We have to move on. British, yeah, BSL, British Sign Language. Okay, BSL. All right, moving on to our next story. You guys are a lovely crowd. All the talk of sexy potatoes, sorry. I know. Am I the asshole for being mad at my boyfriend and ruining our romantic getaway?
36:54Courtney Miller:He asked me to go somewhere with him over New Year's. He wanted it to be a surprise and would only say it's a romantic getaway. We're taking a train and we will be back in five days. He paid for everything. I asked him what he had planned because that would tell me what to pack. He refused to tell me because it was a surprise. Said to leave it to him and he'd make sure I had whatever I needed. I had to go to work before we left and I had to go straight from work to the station in order to catch the train. So I left the packing entirely in his hands. He then raided my underwear drawer. I didn't find out until we arrived.
37:31Courtney Miller:We are in a nice hotel in London. I have my work clothes, a pencil skirt, blouse, and four-inch heels, plus a hoodie stolen from him, and the bag contains five separate sets of lace underwear and matching bras. That's it for five days.
37:57Courtney Miller:He has a duffel bag containing a hoodie, joggers, three jumpers, three t-shirts, and clean underwear and socks, plus the jeans, t-shirt, jumper, hoodie, 55 hamburgers, 55 tacos, 55 fries. He arrived in. This pissed me off massively. Not a phone charger? No. Underwear, that's it. He's 22, not 12, and if I were planning something and only packed him boxers, I'd never hear the end of it. It's currently four degrees Celsius, and the forecast says it's meant to rain tomorrow. He's realized how much he's annoyed me and how stupid his joke was, and he said he'll buy me more clothes tomorrow. What he does not seem to understand is in order to get those clothes, I will have to walk to the shops in my work clothes, right from a workday and a long train journey, followed by leaving them in a pile on a chair overnight.
38:49Courtney Miller:He arranged for us to arrive on New Year's Eve so we could see the fireworks at the London Eye, but I didn't want to go because I was wearing heels and freezing because the warmest thing I have is his hoodie, and the only thing over my legs is a thin pencil skirt. No tights or stockings. I would have loved to go if I wasn't dressed like this. But the shops were shut and his joggers didn't fit me. So we ended up getting takeaway in the hotel room instead. I'm just so fucking annoyed at him for doing this and at me for not checking before getting on the train. And I'm not exactly going to great lengths to hide my irritation.
39:23Courtney Miller:He is now getting annoyed at me for ruining the holiday. Okay. before it's even begun. She had a bad attitude, you guys. And making him pay out for clothing after he paid for this entire holiday. So now we're mad at each other. I texted a friend to vent, and he was on boyfriend's side. He said that I... Hold on. He said that I knew boyfriend was an idiot before we got together.
39:53Courtney Miller:Hey, your boyfriend's a dumbass. I should have checked the bag, but I didn't, so that's the past and I can't change it. And we're here now, so I should be making the best of it instead of getting bratty. Getting bratty? What do we think? I mean, this is brutal. Wait, no. Okay, it's a mix. I'm seeing a little bit of a mix. Is it kind of, I feel like, is it that you're the assholes because it's just like, hey, it's like the friend, it's like, well, you're dating a dumbass. So that's on you. She was proactive. She was like, what do I need? seriously and he said i'm not gonna tell you it's a surprise i'll pack for you and she trusted him yeah and then he did that and that sucks i'm very like it matters a lot what i pack on a trip because like if i'm not if i feel ill prepared it's awful packing is also like a a safety net like you feel safe like some people like to pack a lot because it makes them feel safe or it's every time i'm in london i feel underdressed oh yeah i feel so underdressed especially like when you first land and you're like in a hoodie and stuff and you're walking around.
40:57Courtney Miller:I just feel like people dress really smart. Yeah. Whenever, and I'm just like, oh, hey. I know. Yeah, I'm American. I don't know what I'm doing. Sorry. I say that to everybody I pass by and they love it. They're cool with it. I packed a bunch of stupid, ugly t-shirts and I went, I can't wear this in front of them. I can't wear this in front of them. They're going to clock me as an American from so far away. Oh my God. Um, the verdict on Reddit was not the asshole. Good. I mean, yeah. Well, yes. Comments, not the asshole. How did he expect you to go out and do things? I can see if it was a joke and then he pulled out your real bag.
41:37Courtney Miller:I wouldn't have checked beforehand either. He said he would take care of it. It would never occur to me that someone would do something so stupid. Someone said, I guess he thinks he's getting five days of sexy time. OP responded. Meanwhile, her ass is out at the London Eye.
41:57Courtney Miller:OP responded saying, he'll be lucky to get five minutes of it with the mood I'm in.
42:04Courtney Miller:Lastly, someone said, I am so grateful for OP's boyfriend and guys like him for setting the bar so low for the rest of us. We have a mini update. Ooh.
42:19Courtney Miller:Mini update? No. There you go. You tell him. You tell him. Stay down. He's gone out, bought me a complete and sensible outfit, apologized again for the joke and being a dick about it last night. He's sworn he'll make it up to me, and I'm about to drag him around Oxford Street for a few hours while he buys me more clothes.
42:46And that's a good street? We like that street for shopping?
42:48Courtney Miller:It's a good street for shopping. Great underwear there. I was shopping around Notting Hill this morning. That was cool. That was fun. I slept in. There's that. Woo! A universal experience. Okay, guys, we're gonna take a quick break. Give it up for Angela and Courtney!
43:13Courtney Miller:This episode of Reddit Stories is sponsored by Audible. It's no secret that I love a good book. And I really love that there are so many out there to enjoy. From comedy to history to sci-fi, the only issue I have, I didn't have enough hours in the day to consume everything. Until I started using Audible. Audible lets me listen to my favorite audiobooks while doing my least favorite task, chores. I'm talking laundry, washing dishes, or vacuuming. And instead of dragging my feet through every step, Audible transports my mind to unique new worlds. If only I had Audible when I was a kid, I would have done all my chores.
43:47Courtney Miller:My mom would have been so happy. Anyways, lately, I've enjoyed listening to audiobooks after work. It's a nice way to decompress after the day and getting settled for the night. I've been listening to The Butcher's Masquerade, which is book five of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I love when audiobooks fully immerse you, whether that's with music, sound effects, or when the author is the narrator. Audible, stories that speak to you. New members can start listening with a 30-day free trial at audible.com slash srrs. And now, back to the show. All right, well, it's time for more stories. And it's also time for our next guests.
44:29Courtney Miller:It's about to get wild out here. Our first guest, he was the original Chosen, really.

44:49And our next guest, he is basically all of our new best friends.
44:57Courtney Miller:Please welcome Jacksepticeye, Sean, get out here.
45:06Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
45:17Fuck! I didn't realize you've got Carhartts on. We do have Carhartts on. No, you do. That's kind of like Stolen Valor. Oh, fuck you. What? It's like an American thing. Yeah, man, hey, you can't - You can't wear that. I'm just trying to like speak your language. Okay, okay.
45:32Courtney Miller:You're figuring it out. What's up, bitches? What you got for us? Yeah.
45:38Courtney Miller:Whoa. This is real dangerous having you both up here at the same time. I'm gonna show a hole for sure. This is scary. I'm not going to be able to help myself. Someone's going to yell something and I'm just going to do it. Kill Shane. It's like, wait, stop. Take it off. All right. Oh, wait, you told me a phrase that I should say. Don't put it on me. And I let go of a phrase that would get a response. I am curious if it'll work. Okay. Should I try it? Sure. What do you think of Tottenham? What we think is shit. That's so cool. And he's not even British. I don't even go here. He did. I do wish, because I've been to so many American football games, I wish we had more like chants and stuff.
46:28Courtney Miller:Yeah. We don't sing at all. Is Zombie Nation British? Is that like exclusively British? What is that? Zombie Nation.
46:39Everybody in the room is like, what the fuck are you talking about? I'm sorry. Hey, go home and Google Zombie Nation. Okay, man. We will. Hey, there we go. Thank you. All right. You have won. All right. Guys, the Beatles played here. Isn't that crazy? Like a shitload. Isn't that nuts? And now we're up here fucking like... Dropping turds on stage. Like we're like... We're kind of like the Beatles if they didn't jerk each other off so much.
47:09Dude, I can't wait for those movies. And didn't do music. I got a couple up there. I got them good. Yeah. Have you seen that Beatles lore? No. Oh my God. There is Google Beatles jerking each other off. Oh wait, I know what you're talking about. Google, go home. Google Beatles jerking each other off. Zombie Nation. All right, we don't need the iPad. We just can just keep talking. Yeah, do a story, Dancing Man. I have wasted five minutes so far. I know.
47:34Courtney Miller:Everyone's like, fuck, dude. This is our tight fight. Fuck, mate. Okay. Guys, our next story. We're doing something new. Old but new. This was my pitch. I wanted to do this. Because I was like, we're doing these live shows. Wait, do we know about this? Bring out the clowns. So we never revisit stories on Reddit stories. And we're not going to today. No, I wanted to bring back a legend that you guys have not heard. Oh, shit. We're bringing back an old school one that is one of the craziest stories that I wanted to talk about. You just had to get our reactions to it? Yeah. Okay. Here we go. Am I the asshole for not wanting to get rid of the anime body pillow that saved my marriage?
48:26Courtney Miller:This one was picked for you, Spencer. Okay, okay. Anime, anime body pillow. Yeah, okay, okay. This is one of my favorite stories. My husband and I are best friends during the day. Love of my life. It's at night that it's an issue. It's fucking Batman. Werewolf. I'm a blanket stealer. I once yanked them so hard my poor hubby flipped a full 180. Hubby, for his part, is a thrasher. Bruce Lee would be jealous of the moves he pulls off while unconscious. It's a constant war between us when we fall asleep, and both of us often wake up sore and exhausted. It was starting to affect our relationship. Neither of us wanted to move to a separate bed because we like spending our nights together, but it seemed like an inevitability.
49:13Courtney Miller:We were both crabby every morning and we started fighting as soon as we got up. It sucked, but neither of us wanted to concede defeat and move to the other bed. Quick background. I was a huge nerd as a teenager, full on otaku. Go ahead. Cringe. I do too. Shout out. One night as a joke, I brought down an old anime body pillow from the attic. I know the cringe. and plopped it down between my husband and I, declaring it our demilitarized zone. DMZ waifu? Yeah. Hubby also thought it was hilarious, and we named her DMZ-chan. A solid choice.
50:01Courtney Miller:I saw, we have British Chosens in the audience. wait British Chosen stands up everyone else sit the fuck down there we go there we go
50:18Courtney Miller:there will be no werewolves in London on this night there are dozens of voices we are Chosen Coons thank you British Chosens I don't think I could do I don't think I could do a Chosen voice with a British accent Something to work on. Hello, governor. Oi, mate. Okay, so DMZ-chan has entered the picture. It was a game changer. DMZ-chan protected me from hubby's REM-induced rampages, and she's just heavy enough that I can't yank the blankets at full speed. DMZ-chan is now a beloved part of our nightly routine. We both thought it was the funniest thing, but she legitimately helped us solve the only real issue in our marriage.
51:05Courtney Miller:One day, mother-in-law stopped by to pick something up. Fuck yeah. M-I-L. And she hates Attack on Titan. She got up to use the restroom, passing by our open bedroom door. You can guess what she saw, DMZ-chan, propped up in the middle of our bed. Her giant, soulful anime eyes looked right back at mother-in-law. When she got back, she quickly grabbed her stuff and left. Hubby and I both confused. She later mentioned DMZ-chan to Hubby while they were on the phone. She mentioned her by name. Yeah. And it absolutely mortified him. As far as I know, mother-in-law now thinks we're deviants in a three-way relationship with a body pillow.
51:48Courtney Miller:Hubby was too embarrassed to explain, and now he wants to put DMZ-chan back in the attic. We're putting her down. No one puts DMZ-chan in the corner. You can't put her back. I was upset. I told him I didn't want to go back to boxing with each other at night and that DMZ Chan helped us so much in that. He agreed, but suggested we get a normal plain body pillowcase to replace her. I felt like there was no need to spend money on something we already have, and if it was really that big of an issue, we can put her in the closet while we have company over. Imagine being in their bedroom and you turn and you see in the slats of the closet Is it just anime eyes looking at you?
52:30Courtney Miller:It's Five Nights at Freddy's 4. Oh. A chica body pillow? Yeah. Anyways, Hubby is firm in that she has to go permanently. I'm sure he's firm. Hubby is absolutely bricked up about the fact that she has to go. I know he's embarrassed, but I feel like we shouldn't have to compromise our inside jokes to appease other people. Am I the asshole?
52:56Courtney Miller:A lot of green. Wow. Turns out people in the UK love anime body pillows. I'm just... That's a fact now. That's canon. This entire time I've been looking at the interpreter and I'm like, I'm so sorry. Like, what does body pillow... Body pillow.
53:14It is always my favorite. Shout out interpreter.
53:17Courtney Miller:Yeah.
53:21I'm so sorry.
53:23Courtney Miller:The verdict on Reddit is not the asshole. Not surprised. I think it's a sensible ask. To be like, we got to get rid of the body pull. Maybe not get rid of it. So the husband was like, what if we put it away, honey? And she was like, yeah, I don't think it's the craziest. Or like put a cover over it. Yeah, like maybe. It's also probably like ratty as hell. It's probably gross. Like it's probably been, look.
53:49Courtney Miller:She finds out. She's like, you're doing what to it? I thought we both were. I thought this was what. Not in the asshole Like if Okay but if you If you commit If you get to the point Where you buy a body pillow Like it is yours And you're like I'm like If I'm like I'm not buying that as a bit Like I'm doing stuff to it Like I'm like Look I gotta be honest Like wait You're gonna own one And like not like Do people just lay on it Like what do you If they're not gonna support It's emotional support If they're not gonna have sex With each other To resolve this problem You gotta have sex With something Yeah.
54:25The buffer zone. I don't know. Like, I don't think it's that weird. Like, if you're owning a body pillow, you're like halfway there. Like, it's not even like, not even slash J. Um,
54:43Courtney Miller:comments. Can't you just take the cover off? Oh, I'm naked. Yeah, you take the cover off and then it's them fully naked. Also, I'm concerned with it. We're like, it's heavy. Yeah, what's it heavy with? This is a sequel to, I'm going to say it. Do you guys remember the Reddit? It honestly might have been 4chan. The Comebox. Yes, I am aware. What? Elucidate me. What'd you say? Elucidate me. Let me know. What is it? I think there's multiple versions of this story. Yeah, so it's basically a guy had a shoebox, and when he finished, he would just finish in the shoebox, and it was just there. Oh, my God.
55:20It was there for years. There's another version of this with a coconut Yeah
55:26Courtney Miller:The fact that there are multiple stories of this is awful There's another one earlier with a potato The Irish version Hey, it's not sour cream I'm filling it with Okay I have no shame You can't shame me I've seen what makes you cheer Comments can't you just take the cover off someone said everyone sucks here mother-in-law sucks for making such a big deal about it husband for not explaining a simple and straightforward situation to his mom and instead having this knee-jerk reaction you for not taking the reasonable compromise of a plain pillowcase for it lastly someone said not the asshole and i'll give you twenty dollars if you take dmz chan to thanksgiving dinner at the in-laws fuck yeah Did you save a place for DMZ-chan?
56:17Yeah. She'll have the jacket potatoes, please.
56:22Courtney Miller:Wait, what's this?
56:27You know we're doing it again. If I don't get a fucking face reveal on this pillow, bro. You know what time it is. Update. Yeah!
56:59What the fuck? Chug it. This is cider. That would be fucking gross. Also, Spencer, please stop talking about jacking off. Do it. We won't stop talking about jacking off until you chug that. He's actually doing it. Oh, my God. He's actually doing it. Oh, my God. Wow.

Was not expecting all the attention. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for chiming in.
59:41Courtney Miller:I admit I was being stubborn. I drove over to Target on my lunch break and bought a new cover for$10. I put it on DMZ Chan as soon as I got home. To those asking, I did wash her after fishing her out of the attic. And am now waiting on Hubby to get home so I can apologize for making him uncomfortable. DMZ Chan can and shall live on in our hearts and under the blanket when company's over. Okay. DMZ chat erasure. We found out what the body pillow is. OP said, and Saber from Fate Stay Night bought her at a con and never looked back. Yeah, we got like two cheers. What the fuck is that? It's like this, but I've never played Fate Stay Night.

1:02:00Courtney Miller:yeah how can i justify being outside my house as she passes how about leave people alone hit her with a cheeky top of the morning to you hey it turns out it's just like the royal male woman walking by giving posts i know this is going to sound silly but it's like is it it's the royal male woman yeah royal is just a cool thing to throw on stuff. Okay. In order to increase my chances of speaking to said woman, I have recently started to empty my recycling at 8.35 a.m. Saving the environment and hitting on women. It's a net positive. I've got all these empty protein shake bottles from... I've been farting all day.
1:02:44I've been farting really bad. It was in Sainsbury. The protein craze has hit England.
1:02:50Courtney Miller:Yeah. They're getting buff here. Do you guys know about this? Do you know? Do you know that? Every time I see, like, anything that I recognize from back home, I'm like, I walk past, I'm like, SoulCycle, whoa! Truly, the first thing I saw, like, we were walking, and I was like, Wingstop! Whoa! We're home! To be fair, I do that in America. Every Wingstop, you legally have to point at it and go, Wingstop! Okay. Sapphire! Pampa!
1:03:25Papa, come quickly. It's a wing stop.
1:03:30Courtney Miller:I have now done this three days in a row, achieving awkward eye contact and a polite smile each time. How else can I justify being outside my house at 8.36 a.m. You should not be allowed anymore. Without looking like a massive knob. Dude, she's into you. I think she's into you. Why is she delivering the mail at that time every day? Walking past my house, she's into me, dude. This dude needs a DMZ-chan real bad. Yeah, he does. Yeah, I'd be like, I'm getting rid of this. I did not do anything with it, by the way. So do you watch anime? Do you recognize her? We obviously think this is ridiculous, but what is a good...
1:04:07Courtney Miller:But hypothetically. But hypothetically, let's have fun here. What would you do? Give her a million pounds. A million pounds. Give her money? Yeah, I think money is honestly like a great way to lure someone into something. You just like... You know, candy, puppies, money. I think you got to go like full Bugs Bunny on it or like Elmer Fudd trying to trap bugs. Like set up traps. Yeah, a giant box with a stick and a string. Yeah, you're going to want to set up some obstacles. And there is mail. Set up a trail cam just to catch her on it. Yeah. You're like, she's coming. Yeah, and it's just a box of this undelivered mail.
1:04:45Courtney Miller:And you know she can't resist that. Return to send her. No, you go out and you're like, I'm going to open my neighbor's mail if you do not go on a date with me. Is that taken as seriously here? Because like, have you like... What? No, no, no, no. It's like threat of crime. No, no, but I mean like opening someone's mail, they're like, oh, that's like in America, they're like, that is a federal crime and you can get in so much trouble. I'm like, bro, it's the fucking mail. Grow up. Like you're getting mail. Fucking loser. Why are you as a man receiving mail? Yeah, that's a red flag already for that guy.
1:05:20Yeah, he's fucked. Yeah. Oh, wait, why don't you just fucking order a bunch of packages? Yeah, order more mail. But, like, sexy stuff. Wait, is this the mail person? I think we made that up. I think I just tunnel-visioned us right from the get-go. What if this is just a woman on her way to work? And he's just like, I have mail! You're actually so right. Do you want mail? What if OP is a beautiful woman? Oh. Yeah, yeah. not so weird now huh where's the we're the asshole side it never occurred to you that OP could be a beautiful woman
1:05:55Courtney Miller:she just yeah she is not she is not a male a royal male person I think you said that and it blew my mind so much I'm sorry I put us off track here look I've done a great disservice to this I'm gonna go on the reddit be like I was at the reddit story and Sean deliberately misunderstood the reddit prompt you know they're asking UK and I feel like we're not we're clearly having trouble with this Isn't there something under the table right there? Oh, dude, you're so right. My bad. Oh, thank you.
1:06:28Wow. Is that only... Is it... I'm getting ready to offend. I didn't get one? And you don't get one. Shit! It takes me a couple minutes to find the voice. You'll get there. I have like 20 minutes left. Just give me like a solid five minutes of silence and I'll get us there. Oh, yes, daddy. Like, oh, oh, yeah. Like, sometimes I feel like I'm doing an impression of you doing it. Really? Yeah, like, oh, dear.
1:06:57Courtney Miller:People said when I first introed the first gentleman's video, they said I sounded like the queen. That's so sick, dude. Because I was like, welcome to this program. And I think I slip into doing that. Like, if I hear it first, I start doing that. And then it slowly becomes who the fuck knows. Well, you had just read Dracula. or Frankenstein, right? I think I had read both. And you were just like versed in like... I was just regurgitating old English idioms. Yeah. It was wild. They flowed through me. Well, keep the hat on. Do we not have a hat for you? This is so sad. It's okay. It's okay. It's fine.
1:07:33Courtney Miller:It's fine. Surely someone in the audience... You guys just wear those all the time, right? No fucking way. Someone legitimately does. No fucking way. We simply must. We simply must. This, I was literally...
1:07:56And this, to be clear, this is probably nicer than... Oh, dear. And that's not even a costume. Oh. That is how he dresses. Thank you ever so much. I feel invigorated. Well, he should simply propose and she'll have to marry him. He has no money. No prospects. No bitches. No bitches. He should go out on a hunt. He's not from a noble family. He should go out on a horse. Oh, I think a lot of it was also coming from the terror. Ah. Yeah. Dan Simmons. Yes? Shout out Dan Simmons. Shout out Dan Simmons, who passed away recently, I think. Oh, shit. Yeah, sad, sad, sad story. What a fun show you've all come to.
1:08:46Courtney Miller:Well, wait to bum us all out. Who else died? First you hate on our juice, and then you inform us of our passing. I must say the juice here is positively despicable. You know what? I've changed sides. Now I love the juice here. People are going to be like, how was the show? It's like they mocked us the entire time. Orange juice should be bitter and shitty. I didn't think it was quite funny at all at all Comments I feel that a person's morning commute to work is a difficult time to make romantic advances Someone said defrosting your car having a cigarette slash vape taking your dog for a shit While this sounds like Endeavor doomed to failure I admire the optimism I hope I see my dog taking a shit Yeah, it's like, hey, you smell that?
1:09:34Good strong shit What do you think he ate yesterday? Dude, getting like being like, get a load of this guy to your dog.
1:09:40Courtney Miller:My stupid fucking dog. My shitty fucking dog. Sorry, my dog has to shit at 835 every day. Anyways, what are you up to? I think he should go out and shit on his own lawn. Talk about a way to make an impression. Just naked. The dog's like. Just eye contact.
1:10:01Courtney Miller:Yeah. Lastly, someone said, step one is not being a creep. don't track her movements like that if you see her when you're out naturally then you should say hello in the form of morning or good morning just don't fucking weird her out and become some little stalker no no dude you're gonna want to tag her blow dirt just yeah like realistically like what if she changes her path like you're gonna want to know that's true who are abouts are unknown now. Yes. I get my bloodhounds. And the hunt begins. Ah, there he is. And we're off. We have another story from Ask UK. It should be called like R Ask Alad or something like that.
1:10:47Courtney Miller:Here we go. Girlfriend angry for peeing in the sea. Piss in the ocean if you must. Pee in the ocean if you must.
1:11:02I must say, to preface, I've pissed in the smallest bodies of water with no hesitation. I've pissed in the seven seas, every river. I've pissed in my own bath water. Manifest piss to me. Before I get into the bath, I piss into the bath. Gives it a nice tang. Tastes better than the orange juice, tell you that fucking much. I knew it was coming. Who knew that the orange juice would be the thing? They f***ing hate you, dude. I forgot we're reading stories. This is just f***ing nonsense.
1:11:34Courtney Miller:Okay, let's read these stories. Okay, girlfriend angry for peeing in the sea, is it a normal thing to do? Wait, in the sea? In the ocean. Oh, dude. Currently on holiday for our two-year anniversary. I went into the sea to take a piss while my girlfriend was at the bar. When she came back, I told her I went for a wee in the sea. The most British one. And you're on holiday taking a wee in the sea? This is an American making sure that everyone knows. He's like, actually, I'm British, though. Y 'all are so lucky that, like, we weren't here for, like, the Jet 2 holiday, like, vocal stim. That was, like, you could not walk 10 feet without...
1:12:12People would have been walking out of this theater. We would have been like, I can't do it. It was never my thing. Courtney can do it perfectly. Courtney can do the Jet 2 holiday.
1:12:24Lois Griffin. Courtney, yeah.
1:12:28what the fuck we're enjoying the show nothing beats a jet two holiday and right now you can save 50 pounds per person you're gonna 200 pounds for a family of four okay genuinely an inescapable vocal like oh my god i hate y 'all are we in the sea
1:12:54Courtney Miller:just uh y 'all are all right yeah yeah fuck you uh and she said she was disgusted and that her parents would be disgusted but my family have been peeing in the sea for years and i don't see what's wrong with father oh this ocean started with piss for 500 years we've been peeing in this ocean built this boy do you think it's big and salty and that one sank into the swamp is it a normal thing to do yeah i i raise you this who up pissing in the shower yeah there was a reddit story this is from like probably 10 years ago and i need to find it but it was about this guy whose girlfriend would they would always shower together i know this story and he would pee in the shower and she would get so mad but it would make him laugh so much that he would just like but they i think they broke up over it and to me i'm like that's the funniest should ever because it's like it's it's low-key a victimless crime peeing in the shower while someone else is in the shower yes that's a little different it's i think that's a little different you lost me on that one if you're by yourself far to be don't look at me like i'm looking at you you get it no uh if you're in the bathroom by yourself hey piss wherever clean it up i understand you're in the shower shower cleans it up the shower showers with me it's also the smell my pee smells like unless i'm eating i mean unless i'm like down in asparagus i'm so hydrated you don't know no genuinely my i don't know i'm going right sometimes i don't realize if i'm in this haha tricks on you okay let's get to these comments it's the sea you've added a minuscule amount of piss to it it is a pissy drop in the ocean there is a lot worse than that in there Let loose the fire hose, my man.
1:14:45Courtney Miller:The fire hose? Okay, Big Dick Johnson over here. Think of all the straws in there. Yeah. Someone said, even though it's demonstrably less dirty, since you're less immersed in it, the idea of standing in ankle-deep water and taking a piss feels infinitely more disgusting. I will agree with that. I wonder what the reaction would be if my dick was slightly above the surface. Wait, Sean, Sean, Sean, we have not asked you this. Are you an over-the-boxers or through-the-boxers guy? over hey wait I understand that it's the hole is there for a reason I don't know anyone who uses it let me get some cheers for over the boxers pretty extreme let me get some cheers for through the boxers okay get out there was less that was tepid as fuck and let's get a cheer from everyone on.
1:15:42I didn't like them feeling left out.
1:15:45Courtney Miller:Okay, lastly, OP left a comment. They said, Reddit has deemed it fit to give me a warning on this post. Not too sure why. To all the people saying to dump my girlfriend, she is brilliant. I love her dearly. There are no underlying problems in our relationship that I'm aware of. She's pretty funny and earns more money than me. What's not to love? Everyone has their quirks. A bit of piss in the massive ocean seems to be hers. went swimming together today. She decided to hold her wee in while I stood my ground and pissed then and then. That's dangerous. She could explode. Wait, have you guys ever pooped in a body of water?
1:16:20No, what? That's so different. I have never done it. I'm fucking leaving, dude. I have never done it, but I know a lot of people when they go camping or out on boats, they go in the water to shit. What? I swear to God. That is bad etiquette. You're supposed to - Oh, I don't do it. and I disagree with it. The bears will get you. Yeah, you're right. You got a package. Anyway, I thought that more people would have heard of that.
1:16:44Courtney Miller:No. So that's like a thing you guys do here, right? Okay. It is time for our final story. Woo. And it is a doozy. Oh, hell yeah. I love this one. Okay. This last story comes from True Off My Chest. Oh, yes. We end on a confession. My coworker has no idea I know what he used Pringles cans for as a teen. Oh, please let it be what I think it is. And what did he use it for? Please let it be what I think it is. Well, he uses it for the cylinder. Someone maybe got that reference. My husband and I have been married for a little over a decade. I've lived in the same state my whole life, but my husband grew up halfway across the country before moving here as an adult.
1:17:30Courtney Miller:Over the years, we've shared plenty of stories about the people we knew growing up. One story my husband, E, told me early in our marriage involved a guy from his neighborhood we'll call B. Apparently, when they were teenagers, B pulled E aside. It's the fucking men in black. I'm lost already. Yeah. M to the B.
1:17:53It's just so effortless for you. It's so cool.
1:17:56Courtney Miller:I'm always afraid of making a reference, and they're like, No! Don't do that. Don't do that one! Okay, B pulled E aside and shared what he claimed was a great fapping trick involving a Pringles can and microwaved banana peels. Who are you to judge? Assuring him it felt just like the real thing. Okay. And what is the real thing? For those in the audience who might not understand, what is the real thing? ever since hearing that story, B has occupied exactly one spot in my brain, Pringles and banana peels guy. I feel like you need a couple banana peels. You probably need a few. Maybe not. You probably need like, you probably need like 10 banana peels.
1:18:47Courtney Miller:I don't know this guy, maybe not. So anytime E mentioned B's family, I'd immediately think, wait, is that the sister of the Pringles can guy? Fast forward to a few months ago, my company announced a new hire with the same first and last name as B. Fuck yeah. They posted his photo. I sent it to E and he confirmed it was the same guy. Since then, I've met B and introduced myself as E's wife. We've talked a few times about what a small world it is. He's a perfectly nice guy. What B doesn't know is that for more than 10 years, I've known him exclusively as the guy who claimed a Pringles can and microwave banana peels felt just like the real thing.
1:19:25Courtney Miller:Fuck yes. So now I see him around the office. We chat occasionally. Everything is normal. But in my head, he'll always be the Pringles can and banana peels guy. The Pringles can banana fucker. We should do like a Try Guys episode about this. Like Mistbusters? Yeah. Guys, fun fact. Our director, Emily, learned about the UK's Online Safety Act and had to submit her age in order to look at Reddit to do this story. They were like, hey, before you read the Pringles and banana peels story, you're an adult, right? Yeah, we're censored everywhere over here now. It fucking sucks. This was the first time I ever used a VPN and was like, oh, it's goaded.
1:20:13Why? For what purpose? To buy Pringle cans. Yeah. Do you think he looks at the Pringles guy during? He just has to turn the can away. Does the Pringles guy have a name?
1:20:26Courtney Miller:Mr. Pringle. He does have a name and I forget what it is. Anyone know the Pringle guy name? Okay, that was just noise. Flashlight! Flashlight. Someone's like, that's me dad. That's my dad. DMZ-chan. If those guys met, they're having so much fun. Do not give DMZ-chan a Pringles cam. It's bad news. Oh, Julius Pringles? that is the most a.k.a. Mr. P Mr. P and Mr. Pibb Dr. P what I was you know you start a joke and you don't finish it Mr. P more like Mr. Penis in can Mr. Penis I'll never look at bananas the same again I'm really not sure the configuration of this device I'm really not sure I think that's part of the fun Shane how I like to imagine it is There's so many ways to fuck a Pringles band.
1:21:27Okay, guys. You probably have to line the inside of it with a towel first and then the banana. You kind of have to have the peels like, yeah, you kind of trap it. It's like a Sarlacc pit. Yeah.
1:21:36Courtney Miller:With the banana. And you take the Pringles out, right? No, we have to do that. No. Sorry. Okay, can I say, guys, maybe some of you will be excited about this. Just this past week, we were also reading a story back at our studio, and it had to do with a mini M &M's tube. A classic. A guy was saying a cylinder was stuck in an M &M's tube. And mini M &M's tubes, to be clear, that's tiny. Yeah, I'm sorry. They're actually pretty big. They're pretty big. But we were reading that story with the basement yard. So stay tuned for that. Not actually them, just like pictures that we were practicing. Just pictures of Joe and Frank.
1:22:21Courtney Miller:All right, we've got some comments here. Someone said, start calling his wife Pringles. Someone said, so was it just one banana peel asking for a friend? That's what I'm saying. I know. What's going on? Help a brother out. Someone said, as a former teen myself, that's not the weirdest thing I've heard. I've got my own stories that you couldn't waterboard out of me. The fuck? He said, the Blade Runner. I've seen things, you people. Lastly, someone said, I couldn't even make it all the way through. That's nasty as fuck. Someone responded saying, you're supposed to take the Pringles out first. It was my joke, but louder.
1:22:58He's mashing up crumbs in there. Dude, mashed potatoes in there. Those are sharp. The fingerling potato. Don't ever say that to me. A jacket potato.
1:23:05Courtney Miller:When you're banging the mash. Jacked my... Ooh, good punch up. Thank you. Jacked my potato. Jacked my septic eye. Jacked my septic eye during the banana Pringles can with DMZ Chan on my hot potato. full circle kid named Pringlescan can you get a Pringlescan pregnant is Pringles pregnant does is Pringles pregnant all right London you are such an incredible crowd this has been so much fun thank you Spencer and Jacksepticeye give it up for him and thank you Shane Thank you, Courtney, Angela, Spencer, Jacksepticeye.
