OP doesn&#39;t realize the extend of his stepson&#39;s relationship with his pillow. An aspiring chef successfully fools her boyfriend into thinking that frozen TV dinners are good old-fashioned home cooking. OP is convinced he is the best bf ever, when his gf&#39;s friend shows up to prove him wrong. A man sticks up for his wife, even though he thought she didn&#39;t know.Subreddit shoutout: /r/embroideryDonate to help us keep the pod going!

We&#39;re so far off the rails we can&#39;t even see them anymore, but hey, it&#39;s Halloween! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ OP doesn&#39;t want to be her friend&#39;s emotional support during a spooky Halloween event. We discuss integrating &#34;modern&#34; technology into horror stories. We tap into the existential fear of breaking rules with a guide for Disney World cast members. For once, we endorse a spouse throwing away their partner&#39;s possessions without asking them first. We learn about the originating post of the SCP Foundation.Subreddit shoutout: /r/CreepyPastaDonate to help us keep the pod going!

Content Warning: Pregnancy loss in 3rd story from 32:57- 45:00.We&#39;re back and it&#39;s zero to sixty right away! OP and his girlfriend commit way too fast by sharing custody of his girlfriend&#39;s car. Boyfriend decides to kill his relationship over his girlfriend&#39;s harmless Goosebumps obsession. TikTok is convincing people that they have a very serious mental disorder. A MIL learns that weed has really changed in the last 30 years. Subreddit shoutout: /r/whatswrongwithyourcatDonate to help us keep the pod going!

We disagree over whether or not OP is overreacting to his girlfriend not opening his car door fast enough. A dog mom thinks it&#39;s cool to feed half of a human meal to her dog without asking first. OP dips out on his family... after buying them an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney. We find another unreasonable bride, and this time she tries to get a server fired for... *checks notes* wearing clothes.Subreddit shoutout: /r/WildBeefDonate to help us keep the pod going!

TW: Brief mention of poo and pee in the intro (Kora&#39;s been having a bad time). Lots of discussion of the word &#34;b**ch&#34; in the second segment.We discuss the hottest thing on Reddit since souptube... well, maybe &#34;hot&#34; isn&#39;t the right word, but it&#39;s definitely the funniest! OP doesn&#39;t realize that the music he&#39;s playing in the bedroom isn&#39;t doing it for his girlfriend. A dude doesn&#39;t respect that his girlfriend doesn&#39;t like to be called a b**ch after she cooks him a nice dinner. OP finds a creative way to show his dad that he&#39;s stressing everyone out. Subreddit shoutout: /r/PokeMediaTwitter: @rYouSeriousPodEmail: rYouSeriousPod@gmail.comIntro/Outro Music is &#34;Place on Fire&#34; by Creo: freemusicarchive.org/music/Creo

OP is sick of her brother treating her like crap just because she slept with his friend a few times. We hear about the worst Bridezilla in all of history who tries to grift her guests into paying her $150 per person, even after getting $100k for the wedding from her parents. A woman is so invested in her son&#39;s marriage that she immediately jumps to cheating when she doesn&#39;t answer the door. Subreddit shoutout: /r/OldRecipesDonate to help us keep the pod going!

OP&#39;s boyfriend&#39;s dog does her a favor by telling her that her boyfriend is crazy. A dude makes a lot of real shitty assumptions about his former &#34;friend&#34; who didn&#39;t (and still probably doesn&#39;t) want to sleep with him. A gaggle of 16-year-old girls run rampant over OP&#39;s house, leaving his poor wife to clean up. At least he learns his lesson... sort of.Subreddit shoutout: /r/WeddingDramaDonate to help us keep the pod going!

We have to talk about that guy, and I&#39;m so, so sorry. OP receives a free bracelet from her BF after he&#39;s gifted everyone in his family lots of expensive and fancy things. Upper management can&#39;t believe that service dogs other than seeing-eye dogs exist. A parent just wants to do what&#39;s bed for their son who is dating a trans girl, and they&#39;re doing a great job so far. Subreddit shoutout: /r/metaldetectingDonate to help us keep the pod going!

OP asks if she&#39;s the asshole for telling her ex that she is perfectly capable of having a baby with a man who isn&#39;t him. The awesome engineer woman from last week schools us in how to handle another, very different, conflict. A dude dumps his oldest daughter on OP, then gets mad when he treats her differently than his four other kids. OP feels gilty for destroying a marriage by getting her wisdom teeth removed.Subreddit shoutout: /r/DIYDonate to help us keep the pod going!

In a well-timed palette cleanser after last week&#39;s.... whatever that was, Esme&#39;s mum is back! OP is concerned that her friend let her daughter get wine drunk at 12 years old. OP&#39;s boyfriend can&#39;t help but start an anxiety spiral whenever he&#39;s threatened with an evening out. A woman discovers the best way to deal with angry men at work.Subreddit shoutout: /r/EdiblePlantsDonate to help us keep the pod going!

A man ignores a woman&#39;s needs for his wants - and what else is new? A woman&#39;s job pushes her too far and she lets her toddlers feed themselves. A woman lets her bachelorette party week go to her head by booking herself and her 25 closest friends solid for 3 days straight. And... well, it&#39;s been a while since we&#39;ve had a weird fetish post, but you&#39;ll never in a million years guess how the title for this episode came about. Subreddit shoutout: /r/CatTapsDonate to help us keep the pod going!

OP follows all the rules for her job, but still gets asked to remedy the mistakes of her management. (Sounds familiar, huh?) A step-dad decides to be a real piece of work to his adult step-daughters. OP has a most bizarre food habit. OP tries to do something extremely sweet and winds up dealing with something extremely dirty.Subreddit shoutout: /r/AskCulinaryDonate to help us keep the pod going!

OP&#39;s wife won&#39;t stop hording microwave meals and now he has to take extreme measures. Americans believe a wild thing about where chocolate milk comes from and they don&#39;t enjoy being called on it. OP tries to give a cute name to some really creepy behavior.

A gnome scares OP&#39;s 5-year-old son, so they decide to take things into their own hands. We&#39;re not sure why OP&#39;s coworkers are being so mean to her, but then we dig a little deeper and uncover the mystery. OP finds the best revenge is to live well - and it helps if you live well while banging your new SIL&#39;s brother. Subreddit shoutout: /r/WalkableCitiesDonate to help us keep the pod going!
