Speaker 26 Hello, and welcome to Smosh Reads Red Stories. I'm Shane, and today, the theme, Siblings.
And I'm here with my brother and my sister, Trevor DeVay.

Speaker 26 Hey!

Speaker 26 Hi! We're a big family here. Hey!

Speaker 26 Siblings, everybody always gets along, right? Mm-hmm. Siblings, there's never a problem.
Totally. Siblings always good.
It's like the pre-bunch. So you have sisters, you have a brother.

Speaker 26 Correct.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I have three sisters, one brother.

Speaker 26 Yeah, my brother and I got into it.

Speaker 26 I have some fun stories about him and me. Oh, shit.
Yeah. I made him cry real bad once.
Is he a younger or older brother? Older. Well, you made your older brother cry.

Speaker 26 Yeah, well, here's the thing is that he was always bigger than me because I grew late. And so I had to learn how to hurt him emotionally.

Speaker 26 He he would hurt me physically and I had to find out how I could hurt him.

Speaker 27 I heard that younger brothers have it really hard. Like they're just constantly in like battlegrounds.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I'm really a martyr. Wow.
Yeah. Sucks.
Yeah, it sucks for you. Yeah.
My brothers are so much older than me. I don't think I dealt with that.
They were like. I'm like, oh, hey, you can come.

Speaker 26 They're like, they're not threatened by me. They're like, you're just a little kid.

Speaker 26 Yeah, my brother's two and a half years older than me. So like we were in high school at the same time.
That's brittle. And I'm cooler than him.
So, it was really tough. You always roast him.

Speaker 27 You know, you roasted him on Smash Roth, too. And I was like, damn.

Speaker 26 People think I hate him. I love him.
I love him. Sure.
That's how siblings go.

Speaker 27 Yeah, we roast our siblings.

Speaker 26 That's what we do.

Speaker 26 Before we begin, we have something exciting to tell you.

Speaker 26 We had a confessions episode months back where Trevor said he would confess something he's never told anyone if the video got 150,000 likes. And as of now, it has over 150,000 likes.

Speaker 26 So at the end of this video, Trevor, you are going to confess. I have made my bed and I will lie in it.
Wow.

Speaker 26 I can't wait to hear it. Yeah.
I feel like now it's been built up. It's really stupid.
It's really dumb. It probably is.
It is embarrassing, though. I think so.

Speaker 26 Let's get into this first story, shall we? Yes. All right, here we go.
This comes from Am I the Asshole.

Speaker 26 My girlfriend called me brother while having sex.

Speaker 26 It's not quite the sibling story we thought we'd start with.

Speaker 26 Women's like a Hulk Hogan, like, oh, brother. Yeah, brother.

Speaker 26 I, a 28-year-old man, and my girlfriend, a 29-year-old woman, were in the middle of having sex. We were nearing climax when I went to grab her hand.

Speaker 26 She quickly clasped it and pulled my arm toward her in the style of friendly handshake. She brought it in and said, hell yeah, brother.

Speaker 26 No!

Speaker 26 I couldn't anymore. My erection died and well, I felt like I just gave one of the boys a good old bring it in, pat on the back, and go get beers handshake.

Speaker 26 Had to tell somebody, thanks, Reddit, for listening to my misery.

Speaker 26 Dude, awesome. There's nothing I can say, like, what?

Speaker 26 Yeah, there's not much to say to that one.

Speaker 27 You can't, like, assume, well, maybe she meant this.

Speaker 26 No.

Speaker 26 Okay, it's better than I thought it was going to be.

Speaker 26 I thought it was going to be a weird, like

Speaker 26 a weird, like, fetish thing. And then it was like, no, she was joking around that.
No, she was joking around. But joking around in the middle of it, which unfortunately it's funny.

Speaker 26 It's amazing. It's actually really funny.
Yeah. I think it's kind of endearing.

Speaker 27 Yeah. Maybe she wasn't, maybe she wasn't like.

Speaker 26 She wasn't like enjoying it too much.

Speaker 26 Maybe she was just like,

Speaker 27 she was just there to witness.

Speaker 26 Hell yeah, brother. She's like, good for you, man.
You're getting there.

Speaker 26 I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know either. I mean,

Speaker 26 just having fun, I guess. I don't know how long they've been together.
That's true. But I don't know.
Some people, they like to joke around.

Speaker 26 I was going to say, I think it's kind of fun to have a good laugh sometimes. Yeah.
You know, when you're intimate. I think it's like chill to like, you know, get a little silly if I'm a silly guy.

Speaker 27 Right before.

Speaker 27 That's a tough one.

Speaker 26 I need to know what happened after all that. Because he ends it right there and just says like, oh, my erection died.
And well, like, that's, okay, cool. How did you guys reconcile that afterwards?

Speaker 26 Like, did you guys both laugh? Whatever. Like, you know, I think that can be a growing moment for both of you.
He's just like, that was weird. Yeah.
He's like, you're hilarious, brother.

Speaker 26 Comments. When his erection died, he should have tagged in someone else.

Speaker 26 Hilarious.

Speaker 26 Man, someone said, man, I misread the title of this post. I'm sitting here wondering why I should call your brother.

Speaker 26 And now I'm just here disappointed that you'd lose interest in your girlfriend who just pumped out an all-time Hulk Hogan impression. You're the asshole.

Speaker 26 You're the asshole. It's not even an asshole,

Speaker 26 this guy is asking if he's the asshole or not. And it's like,

Speaker 26 what?

Speaker 26 So it said, if you're not laughing and having fun while you're fucking, you're doing it wrong. Yeah.
Okay. I love this guy getting roasted in the comments.
Like, you're going down, brother.

Speaker 26 You're the asshole here.

Speaker 27 It is hilarious.

Speaker 26 I do get the turn off, though.

Speaker 27 It's like fist bumping when you're having sex. It's like

Speaker 26 notch. What's wrong with fist bumping? Hey, come on.

Speaker 26 Rosemary's hitting a handshake. You got a secret sex handshake.
Oh, God. Yeah.
You're just going in.

Speaker 26 No.

Speaker 26 Oh, God.

Speaker 27 It's hilarious. What's the update?

Speaker 26 There's no update on that.

Speaker 26 I actually ended up finishing

Speaker 26 years later. I posted this on Reddit and then went back.
She walks into the bedroom one day and there's just a whole ring set up. He's like, all right.

Speaker 26 Okay, our next story. Am I the asshole for refusing to buy a gift for a kid because it's their sibling's birthday?

Speaker 26 Okay.

Speaker 26 Last week, I was invited to my friend's house to celebrate his kid's birthday. When I asked what I should bring for the brat, my...
Well,

Speaker 26 damn.

Speaker 26 Last week, I was invited to my friend's house to celebrate his kid's birthday.

Speaker 26 When I asked what I should bring for the brat, my friend informed me that they like to give both kids gifts so no one is left out of the celebration.

Speaker 26 I said, okay, and when I arrived, I gave their birthday kid a gift and my friend a six-pack.

Speaker 26 His wife mentioned that the other kid is going to feel left out, but I informed her that although she's welcome to raise her kids how she likes, it doesn't mean anyone has to subscribe to the same parenting style.

Speaker 26 Am I the asshole?

Speaker 26 He's like, give the kid a beer. I brought a six-pack.
I got a brewski for you, kid. I mean, happy fifth birthday.
He clearly has opinions.

Speaker 27 When I got the gift for the brat.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I'm like, damn, okay, dude.

Speaker 26 I don't have to subscribe to your parenting.

Speaker 27 Hey, can I sit in your house? Like,

Speaker 27 it's a little, okay.

Speaker 26 I don't know. Yeah, the brat thing, I'm like, damn, dude, okay.
Like,

Speaker 26 whoa,

Speaker 26 you don't seem like you really want to be going to a children's birthday party. Yeah, so like, oh, man.
Maybe you just skip it.

Speaker 26 Here's the thing.

Speaker 27 I did hear that like when a second sibling is born born to like throw a party for the older sibling so they feel because it's like really intense for a new baby to like come in.

Speaker 27 I hear that, but every single birthday bring bringing gifts for the other sibling is kind of

Speaker 26 like that's conducive for like

Speaker 26 prepping yourself for life. Because it's like, hey man, once you're an adult, like there's going to be situations where people are going to get shit and you're not.

Speaker 26 And you better be emotionally prepared for that.

Speaker 27 I think it's weird that when he walked in, that people were like, well, where's the gift for the sibling? It's like, unless he's family,

Speaker 27 he brought a six-pack. I don't know what to say.

Speaker 26 Could be. That's a lot.

Speaker 26 I understand. That's a lot to be like, hey, buy two gifts.

Speaker 26 It's like, whoa, okay, man.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I don't think he's the asshole, but I think the way he's going about it is a bit...

Speaker 26 I also think it's maybe, you know, I don't know a ton about this. I don't have a kid.
But like, it's... A friend of, I never as a kid expected my parents' friends to bring me anything.
No.

Speaker 26 Like, if they're, if my parents, if like a friend of mine is coming to my birthday party,

Speaker 26 I expected a gift from my friend. Friend, right.
So their parents would be what I'd be helping. But if it was just some random person that was a friend of my parents, I'd be like, cool, dude.

Speaker 27 It would be weird. It would be like, yeah, bring booze for my parents.

Speaker 26 Yeah, get my parents drunk. I don't know who like,

Speaker 26 I understand the sentiment of like not wanting a child to feel left out. But if that's the case, it's like, you know, it's not their birthday.
Just give them like a gift.

Speaker 26 You know, if the parents want to get them a gift as well to open or something just so that they're like

Speaker 26 Yeah, expecting all of your guests to bring two gifts is insane. I just am like I don't know.
I guess it's also the principle of it all.

Speaker 26 I'm just like this sounds to me like you're avoiding like parenting by just alleviating the situation. Like it's easy to just be like, oh, this makes you feel bad.

Speaker 26 So we're just gonna like make you feel good instead of teaching you the lesson of like sometimes

Speaker 26 sometimes it's someone else's day and it's not your day but i i feel like this is going to make this kid a nightmare yeah yeah

Speaker 27 i don't understand and i'm like with people i'm like it's your decision to have kids it's your decision to get married it's your decision to have a bachelor party it is not on other people to do exactly how you picture it yeah like unless they're unless that's like your sister coming over and it's their nephew or niece or nephew i just i'm like that's kind of it's a lot it's a lot

Speaker 26 i agree agree with his sentiment of like he doesn't have to subscribe to other people's parenting style. I agree with that.
Did it say how old the kids are?

Speaker 26 I'm assuming pretty young. Brat age.
Brat age. Brat age, yeah.

Speaker 26 Imagine it's just like 16 year olds.

Speaker 26 He's a lot. He's not the asshole.
I don't think he's the asshole in this situation, but I'm like, hey, dude, okay. You're acting like a dick.

Speaker 26 The verdict was not the asshole. Comments, not the asshole.
The parents are being entitled. Asking for an extra gift just so the other kid doesn't feel left out is out of order.

Speaker 26 An extra present costs money, and it's the birthday kids' day, not a free-for-all. If the other kid feels left out, that's on them, not you.
Someone said, I have relatives who did this.

Speaker 26 The oldest was eight when the sibling was born and had been spoiled before. The older one always wanted a gift on the sibling's birthday, but got mad when the sibling got a gift on their birthday.

Speaker 26 The older one really took up the entitlement in college, now hardly ever contacts the family. Wow.

Speaker 26 Someone else said, LOL, I would take one of the six-pack cans and give it to the kid. He wouldn't be able to drink it, but it's the thought that counts, right? Exactly.

Speaker 26 Someone said, Everyone sucks here. It's good for kids to learn that not everything is about them, and it's entitled to expect people to buy gifts for the non-birthday kid.

Speaker 26 But if you're referring to the birthday kid as a brat, you should just stay home. I think we landed on that, too.
It's like, why are you going to this dude?

Speaker 26 Like, it's also like, I feel like every birthday I had when I I was younger, you know, you get a bunch of gifts and sort of everyone plays with them when you're a kid.

Speaker 26 It's like you're getting cake and then you're opening up everything. And it's like, oh, I got three Nerf guns.
Like, let's run around.

Speaker 26 And there's no way the kid, the sibling, doesn't have like something to play with, something new to do.

Speaker 26 It's kind of purely an ego thing. It's just like, I'm mad that this person's getting a day and I'm not getting a day.
It's not a, because yeah, you're right.

Speaker 26 At a birthday party, no matter where you're at, there's so much shit everywhere. Yeah.

Speaker 27 But I, oh, God, kids' birthdays, they're so complicated.

Speaker 26 No, those videos of a younger sibling wanting to blow out the birthday candles of their older sibling.

Speaker 26 Or

Speaker 26 the parents who are like really intense about like

Speaker 27 fear and the kid, the birthday gay kids are like, happy birthday.

Speaker 26 All right, let's move on. Let's

Speaker 26 hide everything else. You're just like, oh my God.
Oh my God.

Speaker 26 Birthdays for little kids are so

Speaker 27 they can either be great or they're interesting.

Speaker 26 Oh my God.

Speaker 26 Okay, our next story. Am I the asshole for crashing out because I'm not invited on the family holiday?

Speaker 26 Whoa. Crashing out.
Crashing out. Crashing out.
Because I'm not invited. Are you familiar with crashing out? I don't know if I am.
You're not. Okay, crashing out.

Speaker 26 Trevor, you probably could give a great explanation. Yeah, I mean, crashing out is like,

Speaker 26 it's basically like having a meltdown. It's kind of like like,

Speaker 26 I'm losing it. I'm crashing out.
Like, I'm getting mad. I'm getting sad whatever.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I'm losing it. I'm crashing out.
I'm losing it man.

Speaker 26 Got it.

Speaker 27 Thank you.

Speaker 26 Hi guys, 23-year-old woman. My family recently booked a holiday and asked if I wanted to come.
I said I couldn't afford it and that was that.

Speaker 26 Recently, I was talking to my mom and she said that both of my younger siblings are bringing a friend that she is fully paying for.

Speaker 26 My brother is 20, like he lives at home and she is paying for him and a friend. And my sister, 15, and her friend get to go on an all-inclusive holiday to Spain.
It was the same last year.

Speaker 26 They all went on holiday without me, but last year they didn't bring anyone else. I was fine with it until I heard my mom's paying for other kids to go but wouldn't bring me so I'm annoyed with her.

Speaker 26 I do so much for her as well, like way more than my other siblings.

Speaker 26 I live 10 minutes down the road so I am always picking up slash dropping to school or doing things around the house for her, but I'm butthurt that she clearly had this extra money to spend to bring other people's kids on holiday, but not me.

Speaker 26 Am I the asshole? Edit. I initially asked her a few weeks ago for her to tell me how much it would be if I booked on it because I would have went if it was affordable.

Speaker 26 She got back to me saying it's $900 and I just said I couldn't afford that anyways and that was it until I found out she's paying for two of my siblings friends.

Speaker 26 She said in Convo who was going and I just said, what? You could have paid for me to go, but instead you're paying for two other children. And she ignored that comment.

Speaker 26 I love how I know this person's crashing out based on the writing style of this. Like they're writing this for a robot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 26 Ah, dude. I don't, there's, there's a lot.

Speaker 26 I mean, there's not much missing. Like, it does suck that the mom is paying for two siblings and friends, but won't pay for her.

Speaker 27 Is it like the siblings' birthdays?

Speaker 26 Like, I mean, it, I don't know. It just, it,

Speaker 26 I don't know. Um, it might, it might be one of those situations where the oldest is like been responsible and is kind of getting punished for it.
Like, the mom is babying the younger two.

Speaker 26 I don't know. Yeah.

Speaker 26 It always

Speaker 26 seems like in Reddit stories, and I don't relate to this because of my family dynamics. I never had this type of situation, but in so many Reddit stories, it seems like the

Speaker 26 kids, the children who just are struggling or are kind of assholes, the parents just do everything for them.

Speaker 26 Like, and it's almost like out of maybe out of desperation of like, oh, well, I have to be there for them. I have to like give them this life because

Speaker 26 I don't know. And then the one who's got it all figured out, they just kind of go, oh, yeah, you're fucking fine.
Yeah. I don't know.
It just seems like she's being punished for some reason.

Speaker 27 It's tricky, though, because it's also like all these things she's saying she's doing for her mom. It's kind of like what you do for your mom.

Speaker 27 It's like, it doesn't feel like it's like, look at all this intense, like it's kind of, it's kind of like what you do when you live 10 minutes from your mom. You help out.

Speaker 27 And how young are her siblings?

Speaker 26 20 and 15. She's 23.
Her brother's 20. Oh, okay.
Her sister's 15.

Speaker 26 And it's like, she's doing a bunch, and we don't know how much the siblings, the other siblings do for the mom or help out around the house. It's like.

Speaker 27 Because she said drop off at school. I thought they were young.

Speaker 26 Yeah, no. No.
They're, yeah, the brother is 20. And it's not a big age gap between them all.

Speaker 27 Maybe the mom thinks, you have your own place now. You're an adult.

Speaker 26 It's tough. I don't know.
I had, well, I like have kind of experience with this.

Speaker 26 My brother and his wife, they still live in Idaho, like near my parents. And they've gone on vacations where like my parents will pay.
Like Like they went to the UK, they went to Mexico.

Speaker 26 And part of me is like, ah, like it would have been cool to have been included, but also like, I don't live in Idaho. Like, it's a lot easier for them to plan things.

Speaker 26 It's a lot harder for me to make time around work. And like, I totally understand that because I, there's like more distance between me and them.

Speaker 26 Like, I don't, I don't expect like, oh, you should accommodate me. And like, I get that.
But it goes both ways. Cause also I'm like, oh, it would have been cool though.

Speaker 26 You know, it would have been nice.

Speaker 26 I'm with you on that completely. And in this situation, they do all live close.
Yeah. And she goes away.
And the mom, the family, they asked if she wanted to come and she said, I can't afford it.

Speaker 26 And that was that. Yeah.

Speaker 27 But then she's paying for the others. That sucks.
That sucks because she's paying for the others' friends.

Speaker 26 Yeah, so she bought four, she's accommodating four people.

Speaker 26 But can't accommodate just one. That does kind of suck.
It really sucks.

Speaker 26 That's awful.

Speaker 26 The verdict is not the asshole. Obviously, it's like, why are you the asshole here?

Speaker 26 Comments, not the asshole. I'd stop doing extra favors for her since she doesn't seem to appreciate it.

Speaker 26 Someone said, I get that this might cause drama, but it's not about being petty or causing drama. It's about communicating what's okay and what isn't.

Speaker 26 Your sibling is 20 and getting their trip and their friend's trip paid for. This is the biggest issue here.
They're also an adult, one who lives at home, costing your folks for more than you do.

Speaker 26 I think you should talk to your mom and tell her exactly how this makes you feel. This isn't about her or her feelings.

Speaker 26 If she is making you feel excluded or like you aren't wanted on this trip or like a lesser part of the family than, say, your 20-year-old sibling's friend, then say so.

Speaker 26 She needs to hear that from you. Yeah, I mean, that's the first step here is to confront the mom and say how it's making you feel.
Do I have much faith that that'll do anything?

Speaker 26 We've seen these stories so much. Usually the mom just completely sides with the others and just makes her feel crazy and like gaslights her.

Speaker 27 I feel like the mom is thinking in a way where she's like, this sibling is out of the house, so I'm paying for these ones because they're still in the house.

Speaker 26 I don't know.

Speaker 27 I'm trying to like put myself in her shoes, but regardless, it's not a good feeling at all for the 2015.

Speaker 26 It's just wild logic because at the end of the day, it's like, if you're the mom, wouldn't you want all the kids to go?

Speaker 26 It's not a matter of like principle at that point. It's just like, oh, I want the whole family together.
So let's all do this.

Speaker 27 But there's got to be missing context here. Probably.

Speaker 26 Update. Oh, my God.
I feel like we're missing a lot, so maybe we're going to get some stuff.

Speaker 26 My younger brother and his friend were meant to share the room with my sister and her friend, but he decided he wanted to book his own room using his own money, so he did.

Speaker 26 Then when I heard there's a room free in the apartment, I asked if I could just add on flights and stay there. But my sister was having none of it because they wanted it to themselves.

Speaker 26 So I rang my mom and was like, I can't afford a whole separate room. Like, let me sleep on the couch in my sister's room.
She refused. I then said, well, can you pay for half of it with me?

Speaker 26 Because that's not fair. You may get whoever inserts sister's friend's name is to do anything you want for you.
My mother then said, yeah, okay, I'll go halves with you for it.

Speaker 26 So all sorted now, and I'll be sunning it in Spain in July.

Speaker 27 Okay, okay. So nothing was really soft.

Speaker 26 It's like a conversation was had. It just sounds like all these people are like, okay, yeah.

Speaker 27 Okay, yeah, like really, like, honestly, yeah, like, I'll, I'll split it half the way with you.

Speaker 26 She got a coupon on the family vacay. Okay, so this sounds like the ultimate in not communicating and not understanding the situation.

Speaker 26 It's because it sounds like she heard some stuff and came to like further conclusions about what was going on when really it wasn't as intense as she thought. Right.

Speaker 26 She talked to the mom and was just like, can we go housing? Into the moment. She's like, okay, yeah.

Speaker 26 Like that was all. Okay, yeah.
I think there's just not a lot of like communicating or thinking going on.

Speaker 27 Well, I was going to say, like, if she's paying for all the friends, there's got to be something actually going on. And it sounds like they're like

Speaker 26 sharing a room. And then the brother is actually paying for another room.
I like how she called the sister and was like, can I share a room with you? And they're like, no. No.

Speaker 27 We thought we were going to have it by ourselves. No.

Speaker 27 It's so funny. She's like, can I crash on the couch?

Speaker 26 It's like, why do you want that?

Speaker 26 Why?

Speaker 26 It just sounds, I don't know.

Speaker 26 Just FOMO.

Speaker 27 It's FOMO. FOMO's real.
FOMO's real. But I would not want to be on the couch with my sister and her friend.

Speaker 26 Sounds awful.

Speaker 27 Them just sitting in their room like, can you like go away?

Speaker 27 And you're on the couch.

Speaker 26 You're like, oh.

Speaker 26 Being a 23-year-old around like, yeah, two 16-year-olds actually sounds like a nightmare. Yeah, that's awful.

Speaker 27 They're 15. They're 15.

Speaker 27 Even worse.

Speaker 26 This sounds almost a little bit more like an ego battle at this point. Yeah.
A tiny bit. Because a part of me is also putting myself at 23.
And I never had younger siblings.

Speaker 26 But it's one of those things I'm like, I get that it's a vacation and it's probably really cool. But there's also the element of like, all right, you guys go do that.
I'm going to go live my life.

Speaker 27 Yeah, exactly. It's they're they're going to be 15.
Like there's not much they can do other than like walk around and like look at shops.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 26 All right. Okay.

Speaker 26 Next story. This comes from relationships.
Boyfriend's mom called my blind brother, 25-year-old male, excess baggage. I, a 28-year-old woman, called her a piece of shit.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 26 My brother is blind, has been since birth, and he lives with me. Not that he needs someone to take care of him, just living with me makes his life much easier, and I like it this way.

Speaker 26 He is pretty independent and has a great job and great future. I'm proud of him big time.
Last month, we went to visit our parents back in our home country.

Speaker 26 We live in Europe, but we are from East Asia. My boyfriend is from here.
So on the way back, my parents filled our luggages with stuff, gifts, food, etc.

Speaker 26 At the airport, we had to pay some excess baggage charges. Last night, I was at my boyfriend's parents and I was chatting with his parents and sister.

Speaker 26 Boyfriend wasn't in the room when these all happened, so he didn't see anything firsthand.

Speaker 26 They asked about my trip and all, and I said it was all good except that we had to pay a lot for excess baggage, which was unexpected. She started laughing, which made everyone wonder.

Speaker 26 My boyfriend's dad asked what's so funny. She said that she just can't stop appreciating the irony that excess baggage had to pay for excess baggage.
I didn't get it at first.

Speaker 26 Nobody did, but she clarified that your brother is like an excess baggage on you. You took him on a trip and had to pay excess baggage on the excess baggage as well.

Speaker 26 It's like double dipping just the other way around.

Speaker 26 I wanted to punch her in the face, but restrained myself, just told her that she's a piece of shit, apologized to the sister and dad, and came out.

Speaker 26 Texted my boyfriend that I had to leave, and we'll talk tomorrow. He came out and we talked a bit about what happened.
He offered to go back in there and try to sort things out, but I refused.

Speaker 26 I told him that he's heard my side, so go in there and hear them out as well, and we'll talk about it again tomorrow. We haven't talked since, but we will tonight.

Speaker 26 Knowing him, I guess he will suggest some way to sort things out and make peace, but I don't think I'd want to, even if she agrees to apologize.

Speaker 26 What? Oh my god. What was that comment?

Speaker 27 Like, it wasn't even like that.

Speaker 26 It's for to like say something so awful and then when someone's like, what'd you just say? To be like, oh, so what I was doing was insulting your blind brother. Yeah.
Just doubling down.

Speaker 26 Let me explain. I was referring to him kind of like luggage.
You know, like not a human.

Speaker 26 You know, like not a human.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 27 Anyways, past the potatoes.

Speaker 26 What are we doing here, lady? Oh my God.

Speaker 26 Ugh.

Speaker 27 Did she have a couple glasses of wine? Like, what's happening here?

Speaker 26 I like genuinely don't even know what to say to that. To like refer to someone,

Speaker 26 like to

Speaker 26 the person, like, this is your brother that I'm talking about. And I'm saying these awful things.
And you're like, wait, I don't think I get what you're saying.

Speaker 26 You're like, no, I'm, I'm saying, like, I'm insulting him very deeply. Like, this is.

Speaker 26 I can't imagine saying a joke of that nature, but it's like... Saying a joke and you go, you go, oh, you get that response.
You go, I'm sorry. I don't know.
I don't know why I said that.

Speaker 26 I don't know why I said that. But like, not even that.

Speaker 27 she's like oh let me keep going clearly the mom has wanted to say something for so long she's probably in bed with her husband she's like i'm gonna say something about this brother which is like insane and then she says it in the weirdest way possible and she clearly says it in a way where she's like i this is like a deep down belief exactly and we all agree on this right that your brother is just excess baggage like it's not do you think the son talks about it with them i guess we don't technically know I'm not sure if I can do it.

Speaker 27 I don't think so, but like, I'm also, I wonder if he was surprised because if he's already going to like, let's work this out mode.

Speaker 26 But, yeah, the work this out mode, it's like,

Speaker 26 he's saying we could go back in there

Speaker 26 some way to sort things out. See, if I'm the boyfriend, it's like, no, you go in there by yourself and you confront your mom.

Speaker 26 Because that is on another level and she shouldn't have to go in there and face that. Yeah.
I would have a hard time believing that the mom just suddenly said something so awful. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 26 You know, that's why I'm wondering if that is so awful, right?

Speaker 27 Like was the boyfriend surprised? Like, I'm wondering.

Speaker 26 He's not sounding like horrified

Speaker 27 by this. Also, if she immediately said, you're a piece of shit, I feel like if this was so out of pocket for the mom to say, I, if I was in her position, I'd be so stunned.
You're right.

Speaker 26 I would be like,

Speaker 27 I wouldn't know what to say because it's shocking.

Speaker 26 When someone says something out of character,

Speaker 26 you don't respond in a way because you're kind of like,

Speaker 26 you're trying to like compartmentalize or figure out

Speaker 26 and make it all make sense. But the fact that she did respond so quickly saying you're a piece of shit means it's like,

Speaker 27 what has she said in the past?

Speaker 26 Yeah, it seems like a case of like the family just being like, ah, that's just mom, you know, that's just mom out of pocket. Like,

Speaker 26 oh, there she goes again.

Speaker 26 God. Comments, I wouldn't say you did anything wrong.
She should apologize. He's a fucking human being.

Speaker 26 Someone said, you didn't do anything wrong except lose your cool, but I think most of us would agree that's acceptable under the circumstances.

Speaker 26 Hopefully your boyfriend will handle the situation with her appropriately.

Speaker 26 OP left a comment saying she just posted a Facebook status update saying, my son's girlfriend called me a piece of shit because she disagreed with how I described what happened on a trip.

Speaker 26 Oh, Facebook status? That's crazy. We're dealing with a different beast here.

Speaker 26 Oh no. This is different.
Dude, going on Facebook to rip

Speaker 26 your son's girlfriend after calling

Speaker 26 her brother excess baggage because he's blind is crazy levels of delusion.

Speaker 27 Yeah, Facebook status, this is a different beast. We have to approach this from a different place.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 26 We're dealing with a kaiju.

Speaker 26 Oh, no.

Speaker 26 Okay.

Speaker 26 Update. Oh, let's go.
The next day.

Speaker 26 I foresee we're about to see even greater depths of hell from this lady. Yeah.
Yeah. No, I don't think we've even scratched the surface on how awful she is.

Speaker 27 Someone's gonna make a Facebook group and it's gonna be bad.

Speaker 26 God.

Speaker 26 Okay. Okay.
This is the next day. She posts this the next day.

Speaker 26 Okay, this isn't good.

Speaker 26 I didn't realize it's a full moon and she's gone full beast. Oh my God.

Speaker 26 In case you missed it, yesterday she posted a message on Facebook explaining an edit in yesterday's post. So I talked to my boyfriend last night.
He acted as I suspected he would.

Speaker 26 He suggested that it was a moment of madness. She started it and I responded.
We're both at, okay, hold on. He acted as I suspected he would.
He suggested that it was a moment of madness.

Speaker 26 She started it and I responded. We're both at fault and we can both apologize and move on from this.

Speaker 26 That's such a funny way to put it.

Speaker 26 It was just a moment of madness.

Speaker 26 The moon is out.

Speaker 26 She's mad.

Speaker 26 Oh my my God.

Speaker 26 This is bad. Yeah, you know, she doesn't think blind people are people, and you called her a piece of shit.

Speaker 26 Hard to gauge there. Come on, be

Speaker 26 people, guys.

Speaker 26 Sorry, no way after her post on Facebook. We had a long discussion.
He doesn't want to take a side. All of these are besides the fact that she doesn't even want to apologize.

Speaker 26 I'm very disappointed in him.

Speaker 26 His dad called me yesterday as well, apologized for the mom's comment, and said that she wasn't speaking on behalf of everyone there, and that they found her comments to be very inconsiderate as well.

Speaker 26 I also apologized to the dad for the way I reacted, but he said it wasn't necessary. His sister called as well.

Speaker 26 She said it's not the first time she's making comments like that about disabled people and she said she's ashamed. I decided not to engage in a social media piss war and stayed out.

Speaker 26 But while the mom's friends were commenting like, the young don't know how to respect these days, the sister commented that, mom, you left out what you said to her first, kind of proving her point, please put this down and stop.

Speaker 26 A few hours later, the post was gone. W sister, W dad, why did the boyfriend kind of sucks here

Speaker 26 boyfriend let her down hard

Speaker 27 saying you're both at fault like oh my god dude the boyfriend is enabling the mom and the fact that the dad and the sister had to like support the girlfriend and the boyfriend's not

Speaker 26 dude and that comment is unbelievable unbelievable and it was a comment it was like oh she said something you responded it's like your mom said something and then doubled down and explained what she meant by it yeah like this was not a moment of whatever.

Speaker 26 This was a fully thought-out thing. Yeah.
The sisters now agreeing like, oh, she's horribly ableist and says horrible shit all the time. It's awful.
So yeah, I'm disappointed in my boyfriend.

Speaker 26 If he had the balls of his sister, he'd been great, but sadly, he doesn't. His dad and sister stood up to the mom and he didn't.

Speaker 26 I never make a decision impulsively, so I didn't break up with him, although I'm leaning towards that decision. I just need to think and any advice to this is also very welcome.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I mean, say goodbye.

Speaker 26 Yeah, you got to be good.

Speaker 27 You live with your brother. You love your brother.
It's going well. It's incredible that they have that relationship regardless if he's blind or not.

Speaker 27 Like it's amazing that you have that close relationship. The mom is never going to change and it sounds like the boyfriend isn't going to stick up for her.

Speaker 26 Yeah. Yeah.
And I mean the boyfriend has to know her brother. The brother lives.
Yeah. The brother lives there with

Speaker 26 OP. So like, yeah, they hang out all the time.
Yeah. And it's so disrespectful to the brother.

Speaker 26 Holy holy crap bro to like know the brother like probably like very intimate like like know him really well and then be like ah I mean you both are kind of at fault here like that's a dude

Speaker 26 wow she's attacking him for something that is not in his control whatsoever her calling her a piece of shit is like kind of going light on her too it's like dude when someone says something of that nature yeah okay some comments OP, in response to another comment, said, he always believes in keeping the peace between people and finding compromises to work things out no matter what.

Speaker 26 Sometimes, though, keeping the peace is just siding with the bad people.

Speaker 27 That's a nice way of saying he's a pushover.

Speaker 26 He doesn't do anything. Yeah.

Speaker 26 Someone responded, in that case, I think you explained to him in no uncertain terms how much his mother hurt you and how much he hurt you by not sticking up for you.

Speaker 26 Let him know that when he said nothing, it was as good as agreeing with her. Maybe, just maybe, he'll see where he's gone wrong and change.
But if not, I guess you have your answer.

Speaker 26 His reaction to this doesn't seem so much about keeping the peace as being scared to stand up to someone. There's a big difference between those two things.

Speaker 26 Keeping the peace would have been, mom, come on, that's out of line and you know it. Apologize so we can all get past this, not silence.

Speaker 27 Such a bummer.

Speaker 26 Yeah. I mean, even like, even with the mom apologizing, it sounded like OP was still ready to be like, I don't know if I want to like make peace here, like even if she does apologize.

Speaker 26 So like, yeah, the fact that he was like, well, maybe you should just both say sorry. It's.
I think at this point, though, I wouldn't believe any apology from the mom i agree

Speaker 26 what she said is deeply offensive yeah she and you she went to facebook afterwards so that's the that's the name once you go to facebook once you go to facebook it's done it is done

Speaker 26 you're telling me you post on facebook all the time and you're ableist

Speaker 26 what a strange show we are in other news water is wet

Speaker 26 all right our next story This comes from the Too Hot Takes subreddit. Shout out to Morgan.
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 26 Morgan. All right, right, here we go.
My brother-in-law confessed feelings for me after I went wedding dress shopping with his fiancé.

Speaker 26 Wait, wait, read that back one more time. Check this out.
My brother-in-law confessed feelings for me after I went wedding dress shopping with his fiancé.

Speaker 26 Let's fucking go, dude. Hell yeah, brother.
Hell yeah, brother.

Speaker 26 Love this awkward shit. Let's go.

Speaker 26 Oh, man.

Speaker 26 This just happened today, and I'm using a throwaway because I promote my small business on my main, and I want to be anonymous with this.

Speaker 26 Okay, I'm pretty overwhelmed, so I'll start with some background. I have been with my husband for five years.
We've been married for two.

Speaker 26 Since early on in the relationship, I've been great friends with his older brother, partially because I always wanted one.

Speaker 26 When he started dating a girl about two years ago, I went out of my way to make sure she knew she had a friend in me if she wanted, since we're the only girls in the family.

Speaker 26 We're great friends now, and since they got engaged three months ago, I have been helping with wedding planning and was asked to be a bridesmaid. We went dress shopping today and had a blast.

Speaker 26 We went to brunch, had some mimosas, found the dress, and went back to their house to celebrate.

Speaker 26 I ended up alone in the kitchen with my brother-in-law a bit after being there, and he said he just had to tell me something before I kept eating at him.

Speaker 26 I was a little buzzed and confused, but was not at all expecting him to say what he did.

Speaker 26 I think I've had feelings for you for a few years, and I've never been able to tell you, and just needed to know if you have ever felt the same.

Speaker 27 This is three weeks before the wedding.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Okay. Yeah.
Great Great timing. Oh, that's insane.
You've seen that like picture. It's like a, it's like Steph Curry shooting a basketball from the moon towards Earth.
That's what this is. Wow.

Speaker 27 But here's the thing. They've known each other for over five years because she's been married for five years to her husband.

Speaker 26 She's been married for two years. So.
Oh, wait. But she's known this brother-in-law for years and she's like, I've always wanted an older brother.

Speaker 26 So

Speaker 26 very much.

Speaker 26 I completely froze and just shook my head. I told him that no, I have never thought about him in any other way than as a friend and a brother, and I never would.

Speaker 26 Before he said anything else, I bolted back to his fiancé and the other girls there and very discreetly told her I got my period and wasn't feeling well and would have someone come get me and then come by soon for more wedding planning.

Speaker 26 She thought nothing of it and called my best friend to come get me. She dropped me off at home.

Speaker 26 My husband is working right now and there is no question that I'm going to tell him as soon as he gets home. But I just have no idea where to go from there.
Do I tell his fiancé?

Speaker 26 Do I make him tell her? Do I leave it? Do I have my husband talk to him? Has anyone ever had something like this happen or have any advice? Anything is appreciated. Oh.
Oh, girl, what a doozy.

Speaker 26 She's in a really tough spot.

Speaker 26 Oh, my God, bro.

Speaker 27 Like.

Speaker 26 It's always crazy to me, like, betrayal is so intense, right? But when people make a decision that betrays, like...

Speaker 26 multiple people at one time is shocking.

Speaker 27 This is really hard because I think if the fiancé finds out, I think,

Speaker 27 because you're in such a stressed out state when you're wedding planning and/or engaged or whatever, I think she's going to be like, Wait, was there always something between you guys?

Speaker 27 Like, this could get really, really messy. I personally would not go straight to the fiancé whatsoever.
I would go to my husband.

Speaker 27 And I wouldn't, it's not like I would tell on him. Cause, like,

Speaker 27 I don't think this, I don't think the brother's the devil. I really don't.
I think that he

Speaker 27 this happened.

Speaker 26 Okay, fine, whatever.

Speaker 27 But I think that she should talk to her husband and be, and be like,

Speaker 27 what should we do?

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 27 And get some context. Like, has he ever done this before with one of the brother's like exes? Like, is this like a normal thing?

Speaker 27 To me, it seems like he shouldn't get married.

Speaker 26 Well, yeah.

Speaker 26 It's so tough. Like, I, I feel like when I hear like situations kind of like these or similar to these, I'd be so worried if I was her that like.

Speaker 26 if she does tell someone that the brother-in-law is gonna like start like doubling down and gasoline like no that didn't happen like she came on to me or like there's this thing like she was a scary situation like that can get messy that's really scary to be like wait I don't know you and that's also a betrayal it's a betrayal to it's a betrayal to his brother it's a betrayal to his fiancé and it's a betrayal to her because she's like oh I thought we had this dynamic you're my you're my family yeah so it's like oh so you're suddenly you're putting me in this situation now too it is so

Speaker 26 unbelievable to do to a bunch of people.

Speaker 27 But I feel like she needs to talk to her husband and be like, hey, I don't have all the answers right now. This just happened.
Like, what are we going to do together?

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 27 Yeah. Because the fiancé and the brother need to figure out what they're going to do together.
Because

Speaker 27 I don't always feel like it's right to tell other people's business, but I get that this is like bigger than that.

Speaker 26 But this is not her business.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 26 This is. He made it her business by

Speaker 26 telling her this.

Speaker 26 I agree. He's like, I have feelings for you.
It's like, okay, well, that's your feelings for me is my business. Well, sure.

Speaker 26 Especially if you're cornering me when your fiancé's in the other room yeah she's gonna have so if he doesn't tell the fiancé

Speaker 26 they're gonna have to have a conversation i think because i i personally wouldn't be able to move forward being a bridesmaid knowing this information no but just don't go to the fiancé first that's fair go to your go to your husband like go to the husband talk talk about it working as you because it's also his business because that's his brother And that's your wife.

Speaker 26 As soon as she bolted out there, he's now probably going to be like, how do I cover my business?

Speaker 27 He might be what Trevor said. He might be freaking out and been like, oh, Bubble just told me that she has a crush on me.
How crazy? Because now he's like, oh, this is not an option for me anymore.

Speaker 27 I now have to save this.

Speaker 26 Yeah, I have to get ahead.

Speaker 26 How the hell do people get married when they have like this amount of feeling?

Speaker 27 They do it all the time.

Speaker 26 I don't understand it.

Speaker 27 I feel like it happens.

Speaker 26 It does happen all the time. And do people just have, I think, I wonder if people have no concept of like time or like the understanding of what a commitment actually is.

Speaker 26 Because I'm like, wait, you understand what a marriage is. You understand like what you are planning on doing.

Speaker 27 I don't know.

Speaker 26 I don't think people think about, I think this guy doesn't think about the next month.

Speaker 27 I think that they get excited. They're like, yeah.
And I think sometimes it's like when people get so far into debt and then they do something terrible.

Speaker 27 It's like they let it go so far because they push it away. They suppress it.
Because, well, first of all, it didn't seem like he could ever have his sister-in-law. She seems happily in a relationship.

Speaker 27 So he just suppressed it, suppressed it, suppressed it. But what happens when you get engaged? A lot of things come up and now he like can't suppress it anymore.

Speaker 26 I just can't imagine getting married and having any thoughts of like

Speaker 26 feelings for someone else or being unsure. I'm like, then don't do it.
Then don't do it.

Speaker 26 Oh my God. But people fucking get married all the time.

Speaker 27 And they'll meet them and then get married. It's, it's so wild to me.

Speaker 26 There's another, there's, there's a possibility of like he's settling. He knows he has doubts.
He doesn't want to do it. So he's, instead of just

Speaker 26 not doing it, he's trying to sabotage it.

Speaker 27 What a way to do that.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 26 People do, people sabotage their life. You're just nuking your whole family.
You're duking your relationship with your brother, with like your sister-in-law.

Speaker 27 Either way, he is not ready to get married.

Speaker 26 No, at all. Not at all.

Speaker 26 And it's also that unfortunate thing where it's like, if the fiancé knew this, obviously, she wouldn't want to marry this guy. So she doesn't even know who she's marrying.
And that's so sad.

Speaker 27 That worries me so much, too. Is that's another thing is like people, you don't really know someone.
Yeah. Like someone could really suppress it so much.

Speaker 26 I've fortunately just never been in this type of situation, but I can't like, people know, just even when we play werewolf, how I am with lying.

Speaker 26 But I'm like, I can't live with like a secret like that. I'd just be like, I either have to remove myself and never see you guys all again, or these cards have to be played.
It eats you up.

Speaker 27 But people do. They live with secrets for years and years and years.

Speaker 26 they have completely double lives yeah that's why i'm telling my confession oh i cannot wait to hear it that's it's been eating you a double life

Speaker 26 yeah i do it's crazy oh my god uh comments you tell your husband first discuss everything with him and then make a plan you're a team listen to what your husband thinks about talking to his brother first versus telling the fiancé in my opinion you and your husband should talk to his brother together and let the brother tell his fiancé if he won't tell her then tell the fiancé before they get married someone said said, brother-in-law knows she, brother-in-law knows she fled.

Speaker 26 He knows it's highly likely she'll tell her husband. Damage control on his end would be immediately to tell his fiancé that OP confessed feelings to him and then fled when he turned her down.

Speaker 26 He doesn't necessarily need his brother to believe him if he can get his fiancé and the rest of the family to believe his version of events.

Speaker 26 In fact, he doesn't even need the family to firmly take his side. It's more likely they'll forever doubt who to believe, which will make everything awkward from now on.

Speaker 26 Lastly, someone said, I had my brother-in-law confess to my wife that he's been in love with her and wished he met her instead of her sister. My wife told me right away and I was pissed at first.

Speaker 26 I wanted to go kick his ass, but I calmed down a little and talked to him on the phone. I told him he would have to tell his wife or I would.

Speaker 26 Long story short, my wife's sister blamed my wife, didn't believe her, and called her a slut and a bunch of other stuff. It caused a huge mess in our family for about a year.

Speaker 26 We all kind of moved past it and still see each other at get-togethers, but it is awkward to say the least. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this too.
It's a hard road to navigate.

Speaker 27 See, that's what sucks is I feel like the women usually gets blamed first.

Speaker 27 Like, and that's what, that's where my worry is, is that like, it's going to be like, because what the fiancé's in such a tough position, she's about to get married to what she thinks is the love of her life.

Speaker 27 And she's like, well, I trust him and you're my friend. And it's just so easy to blame the other woman, but she needs to just get on this as soon as she can.

Speaker 26 Yeah.

Speaker 27 That sucks. Yeah.

Speaker 26 No update on it, too. What?

Speaker 26 You have to go.

Speaker 27 You can't read us this story without an update, Shane.

Speaker 27 You suck. I know this is all on you.
You suck. You suck, Shane.

Speaker 26 Okay.

Speaker 26 I'm not going to sleep tonight. I hate you, Shane.

Speaker 27 Whoa. He's going so hard.

Speaker 26 I don't like you right now, but I will like you later at some point.

Speaker 26 When we have to work

Speaker 26 together again. You might be a Fed.
Our final story comes from confessions.

Speaker 26 My daughter's friend in elementary school was actually her sister.

Speaker 26 In our younger days, the ex-wife and I would get drunk and have foursomes with a co-worker and his wife. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 26 What if that was the whole story?

Speaker 26 And there you go. We could do it.
We got the best.

Speaker 26 All right.

Speaker 26 They were never able to have kids. Suddenly, she became pregnant.
My wife also became pregnant. No one ever really said much about it.
After several years, I had a new career.

Speaker 26 We moved away, then came back to the same area. One day, my daughter came home and said she has a twin sister in her class and named the girl.
Yep, it was her.

Speaker 26 We all denied it, but now she's an adult, and I'm pretty sure she knows.

Speaker 26 Okay.

Speaker 27 Let me get this straight.

Speaker 27 They were having foursomes.

Speaker 26 Yeah. Great.
Get it. Awesome.
The other couple that they were having foursomes with couldn't get pregnant, but suddenly she got pregnant.

Speaker 27 She got pregnant. So we think the one husband got her pregnant and then got his wife pregnant.
They both had kids and now they're twins.

Speaker 26 Is that that what we think? OP is probably the father of both. Yes, yes.
Yes.

Speaker 27 So that's what's going on. Is it twins if two mothers are giving it's not twins.

Speaker 26 I just think this other girl looks exactly. They both got dad's genes.
Yeah, and they both probably got pregnant at the exact same.

Speaker 27 So this is parent trapping in a totally different way.

Speaker 26 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 26 That's kind of like, well, I don't know how close they were with a couple that they're having.

Speaker 26 I don't know if it was like a casual thing or if they're like really good friends, but maybe it's kind of a cool situation, you know?

Speaker 26 If you're having foursomes, like you know that it's, it's a possibility of it happening right now.

Speaker 26 Surely like daddy, dad? It's like now it's like, you're just like, you know, you got a couple kids. It's cool.
We all denied it, but now she's an adult and I'm pretty sure she knows.

Speaker 26 So this other girl is like, yeah, I figured it out and it's not great.

Speaker 26 She's like, I've done the math and

Speaker 26 the equation is definitely.

Speaker 27 And she's an adult.

Speaker 26 She's an adult now. So this is many years ago that this happened.
And so now.

Speaker 27 This reminds me of that story, that other Reddit story that you read.

Speaker 26 Dude, there's the other one where he knows what I'm talking about. Oh, immediately, where oh, that one's so much worse.
That's somehow worse. Yeah, you read some wild stories.

Speaker 26 The one where the girlfriend finds out that her boyfriend had a threesome with her parents like 10 years ago. 10 years ago.

Speaker 26 No. And she just, what she got, she just ran.
Dude, but like for a long time

Speaker 26 before he met her, before he met her. Completely isolated ads.
Unfortunately, in that story, we did the math, and she was 13 when this threesome happened

Speaker 26 because her boyfriend was older than her. So she was in the house.
She might have been in the house. Maybe not.
I don't know. But that's what I'm saying.
It's just like,

Speaker 26 oh, no, that's brutal.

Speaker 27 Story is something I never look, man.

Speaker 26 If you're having threesomes or foursomes, a lot of people involved. A lot of things can happen afterwards.
Things can happen.

Speaker 26 Yeah, there might be results years down the line.

Speaker 26 Some comments. Plot twist: OP isn't the father of either.
The other guy is.

Speaker 26 Someone said, did this stop the foursomes or not? Someone else said, well, she has a ready-made spare for a kidney if she ever needs one. So there's that.

Speaker 26 Lastly, someone said, literally, what's done in the dark will come to light.

Speaker 27 Wow, these people are having fun.

Speaker 26 These redders are like,

Speaker 26 these redditors are like, I've never had sex, but this sounds crazy.

Speaker 26 I just like, you're having regular foursomes.

Speaker 26 Are you not like,

Speaker 26 me personally, I think I'd be using some sort of contraceptive. You'd think you'd have some discussions.
Yeah.

Speaker 26 But no, they're just going for it. That's it.
They would get drunk and have forsom. So they're just going to be.
I mean, no judgment. Do your thing.
But also,

Speaker 26 oof,

Speaker 27 decisions are made and then results are there.

Speaker 26 I can't believe it all happened and they were just like, we're all just not going to discuss this.

Speaker 27 Yeah, we moved away.

Speaker 26 Damn.

Speaker 27 Moving away.

Speaker 27 So wait, they moved away and did they move

Speaker 26 back

Speaker 27 and then suddenly it was like never moved back to where your forsome started. Yeah.
And that's the big lesson.

Speaker 26 That's the thing. That's the thing people don't talk about.
If you have a foursome, you need to leave the tri-county area. Yeah.

Speaker 27 100%.

Speaker 26 That's why I've never been back to Tucson.

Speaker 26 Is that your confession? Tucson.

Speaker 26 Oh, nothing good happens in Tucson.

Speaker 27 Oh, yeah, Arizona.

Speaker 26 Well, that's it for all the stories, but Trevor,

Speaker 26 your confession. My time has come.
Oh, my God. Okay, so let me set the stage for you.
I grew up in Idaho.

Speaker 26 In the fourth grade, halfway through my fourth grade year of school, my family moved to Virginia. Okay.
It was for my dad's work. We moved out there.

Speaker 26 So, you know, moving across the country, new school, no friends. I'm just trying to give, like, you know, set some context for the actions that I'm about to confess to.

Speaker 26 And I would say that this was at a point in my life where I didn't really understand having like, you know, there being consequences for my, or like, like...

Speaker 26 I was kind of just doing stupid stuff and I wasn't thinking about it. You know, I'm a fourth grader.
So I met this new school and for whatever reason,

Speaker 26 I

Speaker 26 get

Speaker 26 I get pee shy, okay? I don't really like using urinals. I've never liked using urinals as I've grown up.
You know, it's something that you got to do, but I didn't like it, especially as a kid.

Speaker 26 So I would, you know, pee in the stall. But for whatever reason, I decided that

Speaker 26 I just started peeing everywhere.

Speaker 31 Suffs, playing the Orpheum Theater, October 22nd through November 9th. Tickets at BroadwaySF.com.

Speaker 26 Okay. I don't know why.
I was just peeing all over. I was just nowhere near.

Speaker 26 You peed all over the bathroom. No, just like inside the stall, but I was just kind of, you know, I was just...
You were hitting the walls. I was hitting the walls.
I was hitting everything.

Speaker 26 And I don't know why I did it. It's just something I did, okay? But then it was really bad, okay?

Speaker 26 Because a whole assembly got called of all the boys, got taken into like the gymnasium and sat down on the bleachers. And they were like,

Speaker 26 like, we got pulled out of class and went and sat on the bleachers, and they were like, and they're like, we're going to find the pisser. Literally, we're like, we're going to find the piss boy.

Speaker 26 And they were like, we sat down and they were like, whoever's doing this, like, like, you know, step up or confess to it. But, like, it.

Speaker 26 Yeah, that's conducive for a kid to stand up and say, all right, guys, I pissed everywhere. There's all the adults here.
Don't be made fun of me, but I pissed everywhere.

Speaker 26 But, you know, you're sitting there and I'm like, God, who could do that? And the whole time I was just. Yeah.
So that's my, I've never told anyone that. It was me.

Speaker 26 Oh, my God. He only did it once?

Speaker 26 No, I'm sure he did it multiple times. It was probably two or three.
I think after that, I was like, I was like, I'm done. It was, it was awful, though, you know, as a child.
I won't lie.

Speaker 26 It sounds freeing. I know.
To go into a bathroom and just go, everywhere is my toilet.

Speaker 26 And it just starts spinning around. Maybe that's the way it felt.
Just dry down

Speaker 26 and spin. Maybe you were like,

Speaker 27 maybe you were stressed about moving and you were trying to mark your territory.

Speaker 26 Thank you. Thank you for defending me here.
I mean, I'm not really defending you. I'm just saying.
I was just like, I don't know.

Speaker 26 Again, I don't know why I did it, but getting like every boy had to go and sit on these bleachers. And I was like, dude, this is awful.
That is actually terrifying.

Speaker 26 I was like, surely there's no way for them to know on me. That's incredible, man.
Do you feel better? I don't know. So you literally haven't told anyone this.
No.

Speaker 26 So actually, do you think any of the teachers from that school might watch this show and are now like... Yeah.

Speaker 26 There he is. Piss boy.
Oh my God. No, the only, actually, the reason that I remembered it is because I told Raven, like probably a couple weeks or a week before we like shot that episode.

Speaker 26 And then I was like, I've never told that to anyone. And she takes off the ring.

Speaker 26 She's like, my decision has been made.

Speaker 26 It's me. I'm the piss boy.
I'm coming clean.

Speaker 26 So yeah, that's my confession. That's fucking awesome.
My confession. I hope everyone isn't disappointed by that.
I hope it was fun and funny enough. I'm not disappointed.
Sorry I didn't kill anyone.

Speaker 27 It's okay. No, I'm glad you didn't.
But to piss all over the walls.

Speaker 26 It wasn't bad, too. Because then it was like, you know, it was on like the toilet paper roll as well, which is like brutal.
Like I was going everywhere.

Speaker 26 So it's like, you know, I'm not like directly on the roll. I'm not like being on the wall.
And it's like, it's all over, you know?

Speaker 26 It's not like on the toilet paper, but it's on like the cup, like the machine, the cover for it.

Speaker 26 It was bad, man. I'm telling you, I don't know why I was doing it.
I was, it was a hard time in my life.

Speaker 26 I think a child or developmental therapist would be able to figure it out like within one session of why you were doing it. Because I think it's just like a control thing or like a...

Speaker 27 Soggy toilet paper makes me sick.

Speaker 26 Ooh, that's crazy.

Speaker 26 The toilet paper wasn't soggy. The toilet, it was like, it was on the, because it's cover, it's under the cover thing.
So the cover thing. So you have to get down under and

Speaker 26 someone peed perfectly on the mirror and says, piss boy.

Speaker 26 Piss boy, what's here? Like sorrow?

Speaker 26 Dude, you're like the zodiac pisser, but you're like leaving marks on the walls that they have to decode. Dude, people are going to start calling me.
Look at him. Piss boy.
Oh, freaking out.

Speaker 26 Dude, once Angela watches this, you're done, dude. Dude, it's all.
Don't win Mario Party is about to be crazy.

Speaker 26 I don't have a story. I wasn't in fourth grade, but when I was like five,

Speaker 26 I've told this story before forever ago. My brothers are half-brothers, so on the weekends, their dad would come and like pick them up for the weekends.
And I didn't understand it. I'm five.

Speaker 26 So I'm just like, oh, my brothers are just leaving for the weekend. I want to go with them.
And it was like, no, you can't. And I was in Virginia when this happened.

Speaker 26 So maybe it's a Virginia thing that you miss everywhere.

Speaker 26 So they take them. I'm on the front porch and my mom's like, no, you can't go with them.
She goes back. She's like, come on, come back inside.

Speaker 26 I'm standing on the front porch and I'm so mad that I'm like my brothers are gone I don't get to hang out with them I on the front porch drop trowel and just start peeing off the porch

Speaker 26 What the hell is with

Speaker 26 what is that? What are you doing? You don't have much. If you guys have, you have to get your control back.
When you're a kid, you don't have many, many resources. You don't have to be out there.

Speaker 26 But you do have this

Speaker 26 you would be so if i did that pulled down my pants and just stood there look when you're five years old you can get away with a lot all right if i did that now i'd be in prison but at then it was funny oh my god
