TLDRI: Fellas, Is It Gay To Help Another Man With A Box? Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

Allison's very go-with-the-flow about her forthcoming baby. An OP writes about stealing items from a bully who had lots of expensive things and made everyone at school feel like shit. The choice had long-term consequences. A woman dumps her boyfriend because he won't stop moving forward on starting a business with her abusive ex. An apartment dweller wants a neighbor to stop making his place smell like weed. Is a note a good idea? Melisa's neighbor plays loud music and she only changed her mind when they played this one song. Allison's neighbor double parks in front of her driveway and then wants a thank you for moving it. How old is the oldest person each of the three would date? r/shittymoviedetails brings endless clever joy. What does Reddit think about water?

Allison is deep into “Sally” TikTok. Gabe has lost faith in humanity because of one subreddit Allison proposes, but learns to love it again from another. More politicians should quit.

A guy on R/ThatHappened keeps bragging about wild sex stories, among other unrealistic events. Gabe cleanses the palate with r/RandomActsOfKindness and two tales of contact lenses. How do we feel about Christmas?

TLDRI: It Has Been 18 Months Of Next Week Sep 03, 2025

We don’t get into the Reddit articles until waaaaay into the episode, but first, a very good conversation about word usage and the divide between the LBT and the G communities.

An OP explains how a local family they know is getting horribly scammed by an “international currency investment.” How are we going to avoid being duped by AI?

TLDRI: They Hit The Green Beat Too Much Aug 20, 2025

Show notes

Everyone loved Superman. An OP's boyfriend watches Oppenheimer way too often because he wants to be a filmmaker. Fame doesn't equal followers, just like Reddit badges don't mean you're the top 1 percent of everything on the site. Gabe shares a skateboarding mystery. A text message mix-up leads to a beautiful, possibly false, story involving a green or gold item. Melisa would never delete text messages because she needs receipts. Allison doesn't believe in the dead Internet theory. Gabe wonders why people have to get involved instead of just simply enjoying drama? Plus, how soon should you tell a new person that you have a partner?
