In the first story, the fact that the guys parents would mock him for peeing himself is probably a massive factor in him having a shy bladder in the first place. What monsters.
absolutely, and likely a big reason why he was feeling so ashamed and embarrassed in front of his date, even though she was being very understanding and kind
There's also therapy for it that he could do to ease the symptoms. It's psychological more than physical (it's technically psychosomatic, so mental health impacting the body) so therapy could definitely help. I don't think his kind gf will be enough for him to fully treat it.
Oh, for sure. That's also why he was so reluctant to believe she could actually be into him
yoo, fr. My mom screamed at me for "peeing my pants" and how i didn't "realize that i was peeing my pants". I was a scared 7-8 y/o and I also didn't understand what those weird "marks" in panties were; just knew that my mom screamed at them while telling me to stop peeing myself. While I finally reached the age where I had periods, I understood that it was pre-period flow. It was just that I had it really young; young enough that even my mom didn't realize what it was. It was probably due to hormonal meds I had to take for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. But I was literally so traumatized that I got a stress-UTI as a kid; from being afraid to pee.
Thought the same thing.
It is actually INSANE to not let a TWELVE YEAR OLD say the word “penis.” Like, at 12, I had gotten my period, had boobs, and thus had the biological ability to become pregnant. Like I needed to know what a penis was to fucking protect myself. Your kid needs to be able and allowed to talk about these things, or it leaves them vulnerable to being taken advantage of
Yeah it's crazy. At 12 they should start talking to her about how to avoid pregnancy and that she should feel OK with telling them of she wants to have sex to get birth control. Because ideally she won't do it for another couple of years but she wouldn't be the first 12 year old who gets pregnant. She's constantly online chances are she's seen a penis
Agree.
Literally. I got my period at 10 and by the time I was twelve, I had full on boobs. People thought I was much older than I was which was dangerous enough, I couldn’t IMAGINE if I didn’t know anatomical words for my or anyone else’s private parts
100% this
I had to rewind to figure out what she said that was "wrong"
The mother being so scandalized over the word "penis" is so irrational. She probably still calls her own anatomy "no no place" 😂
Real I wss thinking the whole time "why is she so upset lmao?"
both irrational and potentially damaging. kids should not be punished or shamed for naming anatomical parts correctly.
I agree. She's going to make her daughter afraid of natural human existence.
Oops! 🫣🤣
literally im taking a class on healthy sexuality (taught by one of the lead researchers of sexuality) and avoiding anatomically correct terms is sooooo bad for kids later in life. leave the girl and her fun facts alone, and let her say penis
Being most upset about not getting a dad joke about her coming out is incredibly wholesome
I came out to my dad by waiting for the chance to reference *NSYNC then singing “cuz it ain’t no lie, dad I’m bi, bi, bi!” My dad’s entire response was essentially “I can tease you about cute guys AND girls!? Yes!”
When I told him I’m trans, he joked that he’d tried so hard to make me feminine by putting me in skirts all the time as a kid, but it clearly wasn’t meant to be.
He also bought me my first binder and helped me measure to make sure I got the right size and, as soon as the order was in, turned to me and said “You’re on your own for a packer.”
The entire lesbian daughter story made me think of my dad, lol. I love how he’s responded to me over the years.
@@AppleSeed-ow4umman I wish my dad was like this, but he watches Ben Shapiro D:
@@ineedtherapylmao4418 Ben Shapiro? He's beyond saving I'm so sorry honestly-
@@radvelvetcakez NOOOOO
Bro I LOVE dad jokes and always, ALWAYS, have and will
tommy and angela remind me of like if a cat and a dog were best friends and got turned into humans
How is this comment so accurate??
Dude. Whoa. Yes.
Who is the cat and who is the dog?
Yes!!!! This!!! 👏🏻
@@commanderpinkie7617 tommy is for sure the cat
in the pee story, when the girl wrote "we should go somewhere in nature" my immediate thought was "so you can run and pee and be free"
Yessssss!❤🤣😂 When I got to that part I burst out laughing BC of this comment.
I had the exact same thought 🤣
Not just you 😂😂😂 Super considerate in fairness.
Same! 😂
Yeah I instantly thought the same. "Somewhere quiet (private) where it's ok if you piss yourself again", haha.
Omg y’all should do a ATIA episode where it’s just the plots of movies written like a ATIA Reddit post and see if anyone catches on lmao
That would be funny. I hope they see this.
YEEEEES - I've actually thought about that before and thought about how cool it would be! SMOSH PLEASE SEE THIS IDEA!!
omg YES
This would be a perfect April Fools Day episode!
I read some posts like this a couple years back and the comments were absolutely hilarious
i heard the wife’s version of the steak story first and then found the husbands- i’m so happy it got in this video, the wife was so devastated by her absolute himbo of a husband- it was so funny
Please link me the wife's perspective
That husband’s writing style is so funny. I feel like his brain works like a Rube Goldberg machine
@@ImActuallyABanana just google it! it's a famous reddit story saga
@@ImActuallyABananajust look up "tifu by allowing my husband to come to my boss' house"
Me at 42:10 "...OK, you were joking about him being Peter Griffin, but if his wife is THAT used to it..."
It's a crime that Tommy's "oh, did they take a pill for the small little update?" joke went without notice lol
That was such a good line!
too many of tommy's lil quips have this fate 😔
or the “I’ll throw my small meat at the window” 😅
The mom telling her kid never to say the word "penis" again is dangerous. Kids knowing proper anatomical terms is important for their own safety if they have to describe something they've witnessed or experienced.
There's a big difference between "that fun fact isn't appropriate to tell to random people" vs "don't ever say that anatomical word"
I never understand people being so stingy about medical terminology. Like. I would understand if it was a really, really vulgar saying. But… Penis… That- Doctors say that. That's how they communicate to you that your peepee has a problem. Or it's doing really well.
Exactly what I thought. Also punishing her just for disobedience seems a little harsh.
I thought the exact same thing! I was like, “aw, don’t attach shame and disgust to the damn medical term that kids really need to know!”
@LD-ck8gc It's tricky when kids disobey their parents specifically when the kid actually has better reasoning than the parent does. Like, is it good as a general rule to obey your parents? Sure. But parents can also be irrational and unreasonable. And kids can recognize that and disobey. So then it's like...what do you even do? The parebt would need to realize they are in the wrong...but that's hardly ever going to happen.
T H I S
When Shayne said "don't hide your meat" about that steak story, my first thought was "don't hide your meat unless you're Burt Ward as Robin, right?"
Same brain lololll
Callback!
the first story was super cute and all but soon as they mentioned the girl actually looked up what it was to learn more about it.. it made me tear up because that's just on another level of care and empathy.. caring so much they take the time to learn more about his medical situation 🥹
I'm crying, I straight up thought this comment was about the p*nis reduction story. I had to do a double take cause I couldn't figure out what part of that story was so touching 😂
@@heatheradjacent7883 OH MY GOD ME TOO 😭
Oh GOD me three 😂 I had to scroll the video back to check
She is absolutely a keeper even if it's just as a friend because you can tell she's that rare gem that will be there for not only you but if one of your parents got sick I bet she'd make them something that would make them feel better. I picture her putting a bandaid on a little kid and making them smile with a silly face.....
16:20 the mom was specifically mad that the daughter said penis. Honey, that’s anatomical vocabulary. Your daughter should not feel ashamed for saying heart, lungs, intestines, penis, vagina, or vulva. Those are real words for real body parts.
I was gonna say and she's 12. My 6 year old knows penis and vagina. They are anatomically correct terms, we use shower time to kind of go over it and why they are private. It's just something that happens and will be helpful information not just now but later in life opening up that conversation knowing they are just words.
as a child I'd having a panic attack anytime I had to bring up I had an issue like a yeast infection...
As a human, I can confirm they are real body parts
It us important to be able to communicate in the appropriate situations, such as medical. I hope you feel more comfortable now. @@XAutumnXFlowerX
I just hope the kid continues being curious about things. It only takes a few misguided moments or bullying incidents before a kid stops researching things for the sake of it. And curiosity is genuinely one of the most rewarding traits in life, both personally and professionally.
I love that for Ian AND Tommy “upgrading their wardrobe” means dressing exactly like Shayne 💀
I didn't realize they were wearing almost the exact same outfit until you said this 😂
and josh from mythical kitchen 💀💀
I mean shayne dresses well.
I kinda think this was a releapse into old Tommy fashion lowkey (Mawma, those shoes are screaming for the sweet release of death) and stuff like the coat in the "Teaching a University Class - Challenge Pit" is supposed to be the reinvention. He also loves a tank top with an open shirt lol.
Ian dresses like Shayne? Never noticed that (aside from that shirt that they both bought, which was hilarious 😂)
figuratively died of laughter imagining the silence between steak-man and his wife when the steak his the window. Like I know this isn't how physics work but I'm just imagining it slowly gliding down this otherwise clean window like some cartoon while filling the stunned silence with that classic "eeee" it fucking broke me dude
For the coming out story, a non-reaction is indeed cool and ideal but a simple acknowledgement like "Thank you for trusting us." can be amazing. Ignoring it can sometimes make some queer people feel bad because it was indeed hard for them to do this and acknowledging that goes a long way. This is coming from me, a queer guy whose dad had no reaction initially but then proceeded to scream at my mom it was her fault I was gay.
It also depends who you're coming out to. Like if I'm telling someone I just met that I'm gay, I don't expect anything other than a "👍🏻" or the occasional slur. My parents however completely ignored my coming out and keep talking about me as if I'm straight, not to mention they donate to fighting LGBT so 😍
@v_doll "Or the occasional slur"
I love you for this. It gave me a great laugh!
Sincerely, a lesbian xD
Here's an idea for a Reddit episode. There has been fake stories on AITA on numerous occasions. Share those mix in with real stories, and ask at the end of every story, "Was it a real story, or fake?"
yeah! like that 90s show with commander Riker: "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction"
I LOVE THIS
No
Diphallic Dude comes to mind
Everyone reply to this comment to send it up
to appease angela, i say we get shane an “update” fedora that he can slide on in true reddit fashion
listen i never buy merch but i would actually get an UPDATE shirt or hat, angela got the right idea with that one
in one episode he wars many shirts and every update he removes one, it says update on it. then when hes on his last shirt, he removes it and there's update written on his chest and everyone freaks out at the surprise update. anyway
M’update
YES
i want glasses like the ones they put out for the new year where it’s just UPDATE across ur eyes
As someone who lost my partner when I was 24... wow the emotional intelligence the last guy was amazing. It's hard to find people who are willing to work with the grief you can carry as a widow!
That story about the homeless man and the badass manager was so heartwarming
Ironically the mom calling the dad “homophobic” for not making a big deal out of their daughter being gay and wanting him to treat it differently sounds more homophobic tbh 😬
based on her intentions it sorta seem that way. its true to acknowledge that lgbtq and straight people are not the same and that their relationships are not the same either but don't be upset at the other parent for just chilling.
Because it is 😂
Yeah. There's a difference between being supported and being othered.
Yeah I don’t think it’s homophobic, but I do think the best advice is to match the person who comes out energy. Because if they’re making a big deal, they may need support, but otherwise they probably want to be treated casually.
@@Aisha_Luv True, but from what we heard it sounds like the daughter was just as chill as the dad, and the Mom (and maybe the GF) were the ones making a big deal. So it seems pretty odd, like do you match your daughters' energy, or her GF's.
Angela, Tommy, and Shane are like the perfect trio for reddit for some reason and I can't tell why.
Edit: MOM MOM LOOK IM FAMOUS! IS THAT DAD??
No, I totally agree they have a weird cohesiveness
I think it's because they're the most laid back of the crew. I know quite a few of the others will get quite heated , especially following the more negative Reddit stories with aholes
@@shanedsouza189 yeah but I do think arasha I prolly the most level headed and reasonable when it comes to the Reddit stories
@@baintreachasokay bro
agree they are my favorite co hosts
the first story
those two deserve eachother omg, she sounds so loving and sweet and the OP also sounds so kind
Can we PLEASE do feel good stories again? This was HILARIOUS
the steak one reminds me of one of my favourite green text posts, where OP kicked a soccerball really hard into another person's face, tried to say "im so fucking sorry!" and "are you okay?" at the same time so it came out as "ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY??"
just these moments of absolute brainfarts
This is my all time favorite story. Thanks for making me laugh.
@@tammyeaton6449 youre welcome! I genuinely sometimes remember it randomly and start laughing, it's unreasonably funny
I remember that! So funny, what a moment.
I need Angela to play a middle aged dad in a movie now. 😂
And it's not acknowledged at all within the script. Angela is there, playing the exact function of a middle aged dad, being called "Ange" (gender-neutral shortening of both Angela and Angelo) and is part of a group of middle aged dads that all treat her as one of their own completely, no one ever acknowledging that Angela is not a midlde aged dad.
Next hatchetfield musical - Angela plays Bryce’s emotionally unavailable dad
@@HekatieSquiresbahahahah pleaseeeee
@@yoyohaylithat's so panto lmao I'm here for it
Yes!! While using the Bobby Hill voice 😂
The steak story is LEGENDARY! One of the best Reddit posts ever.
21:08 as someone who was obsessed with Everybody Loves Raymond as a kid, hearing Shayne’s impression of Ray Romano made my inner child so happy
Angela truly shines in these longer discussion formats. Whenever she’s on this and Smosh Mouth, we see such an emotionally mature version of her that is a great counterpart to her more wild side. Tommy as always is great and really meshes well with everyone. Would love to see more of this combo.
I agree, any combination fo Angela, Tommy and Noah makes me so happy cause they bring the snark and they're clever and emtionally mature which is a rare combo.
the duo i want to see is trevor and tommy, that would be so chaotic lol
As a psychologist I super loved hearing Angela (with total support from Shayne and Tommy) praise people for their emotional intelligence and advocating for assertive communication without jumping to conclusions with zero facts to lean into chaos and destroy their lives as most Reddit trolls do. As a lover of comedy I’m glad that the episode degenerated back into silliness immediately after that 😀
tbf everyone kinda jumps to conclusions sometimes, it happens on this show from time to time as well imo lol
It's all about that balance 👌😂
@@haliensexista million percent!
When he read the steak story I LEGITIMATELY started laughing SO hard that I had tears in my eyes , my stomach muscles were cramping up, I could barely breath and I ended up cough/laughing my lungs out for like 5 straight minutes. Best laugh I have had in months- maybe even years 😂
Honestly same almost went the same way as the 1st story guy, honestly so funny I was dying 😂😂
Seasonal depression and grieving a breakup has me down in the dumps lately. I usually listen to true crime and Smosh reddit videos on a normal basis but only listening to stories about death, assholes, and/or cringe have been weighing heavy on me. I was wishing for a wholesome feel-good video to reviven my spirits when I refreshed my homepage and this appeared. Thank you for the perfect timing. I really needed this. Ps) the homeless man getting hired story made me cry. The first time in a while my tears have been caused by happiness. Thank you.
Hope things get better soon !
@bruhandthemoments7445 Thanks so much. I'm not an alcoholic, but I strongly believe in AA's "One Day at a Time" mantra. It's helped me this far. I appreciate the sentiment!
Story 3: I find it a bit funny that not only OP's wife was unhappy that OP didn't make a bigger deal out of it while OP was chill about it, but so was the daughter's girlfriend while the daughter was chill about it. There's an idea that people will often get into relationships similar to what their parents had, and based on what was said it feels like the daughter did that but gay.
Right haha, she definitely gives her dad energy while the gf gives her mom
I'm a little confused about the girlfriend and her being upset that the dad didn't "do more." My friends that are gay/lesbians just want to be treated like everyone else. Now I'm sure not everyone is like that, but you can either be "special" or "like everyone else." Her girlfriend's parents accepted the relationship and the dad purposely took time to get to know her and talk with her; so it just seems partly dumb, partly entitled to want him to throw a party for them instead. But I'm not gay, so maybe it's just something I can't understand without the experiences.
@@GeekExtremistno one said anything about a party. The fact that you have to come out can be nerve wracking to the couple, albeit just the girlfriend. A simple acknowledgment like “thank you for trusting us with this” is what she meant. Not kinda dismissing that she came out.
@@GeekExtremist I don't think they were looking for a *party* per say in this specific reddit post so much as more of an emotional heart-to-heart beyond "hey man that's cool". That said, I think you're confusing how gay people wanted treated in general (aka treat them like everyone else) with the big Coming Out moment. The act of Coming Out to your immediate family/closest friends is a Big Deal to LGBTAQ folks. In some sense, it's a Rite of Passage as you are in essence presenting your full true self to your nearest and dearest and hoping they will still love and accept you.
Because of that, people will handle their Coming Out moment in wildly different ways. Some don't want to make it a big deal at all (that was me), some want to have an emotional heart-to-heart with crying and hugs, and some people will plan a whole ass party with a rainbow cake. I've even seen people write whole songs for it. There's no one right way to go about it, but it's not a surprise at all that someone would want more emotional weight attached to it.
@@GeekExtremistI think she was just hoping for a more enthusiastic welcome than an “okay anyway” response, it wasn’t a gay thing but it was a “i hope that didn’t mean they don’t like me” thing
Dont feel bad Tommy. That's exactly how I peed my pants. It's like your bladder instinctively knows the bathroom is near and just gives up.

@@haddasasfaw9588 is that an actual thing ??? BRB going to google
Update! Is IS in fact, a thing! Thanks for the new Knowledge lol
@@ellecapone1337 yes omg it blew my mind when i learned about it!!! happy to provide :)
I KNEW IT!! MY family talks about it...sigh..😂things that make me happy..being right..lol
“I’m sorry. I’m such a klutz” literally had me rolling for a good 10 minutes. That is by far one of the funniest stories I’ve heard from Reddit. God bless the internet 😂
The story about the homeless guy made me shed a tear. Awe what an amazing person!!! We need more of her in the world!
I know that's what everyone says, but It's honesty so much better to say "we need to be more like this person," as it gives a goal and doesn't hopelessly pass that responsibility into the aether where it ends up disappearing a lot, made worse by this phrase, though it's said with good intentions!
For the daughter who brought up the fact...she's 12. How the hell is anyone getting angry with her? I remember most kids were watching South Park around 12-13 at my school. And the parents are upset because the word 'penis' is used? That's so fucking weird.
Also what a truly interesting fact like I'm truly shocked
I have a 5 year old little girl and have made a point to not make saying vagina or penis shameful words. Honestly using nicknames to me is so much worse!! I do make a point to be clear that these are body parts that are private and so talking about them in public or at school or with friends is not a polite thing to do. By the time she started taking she told my grandmother that, “mommy pushed me out of her vagina” and I laughed and said yes that is absolutely true but it was clear my grandmother was embarrassed but she got over it. I don’t want my daughter growing up thinking that the word vagina or penis are dirty words.
Or humorous/comical words. Good parenting
@@EmyN I honestly can’t tell if this is meant to be sarcastic or not lol but to your point, in a way, yea. I laughed when she made that comment to my grandmother because she was like 3 and almost anything coming out of 3 year olds mouth is absolute hilarious nonsense. She also used to called trampolines jumpolines and caterpillars
pad-ah-gators.
@@Hey_marshmallow Oh sorry I’m not being sarcastic lol, I was trying to say we are taught these terms are shameful, as you said, but also to take them as a complete joke, so with this approach, kids either see it as something impolite to say or something to laugh at that, instead of something neutral, which can be made sensitive or comical depending on the context, and I was applauding your parenting for showing her it’s not a big deal but also warning her of the limitations, which in my opinion is the best approach lol
@@EmyN thanks. My goal is to help her to become confident and happy and well adjusted with good boundaries and coping skills while not fucking her up and passing my bull shit onto her.
@@Hey_marshmallow Fuck yeah
OMG, I literally gasped when Shayne said "Vanilla Twilight" (long time Owl City fan here!). Honestly, if you take the wedding aspect out of it, that is the sweetest song to want to use as a tribute and it almost made me cry. It's not strictly a love song, it's more of an "I miss you" song, but it does have the line "Oh darling I wish you were here" so I can see how it may not be the best choice for a wedding to someone else. Love that song, though, and it was awesome to hear it mentioned!
The mom having a problem with the daughter even saying the word "penis" is like- I don't even know. Treating that like it's a dirty word, and undersharing with your kids about s*x is also really damaging. I don't know if it's equally damaging as oversharing, but it is definitely damaging and will create some whacked out views and shame about the subject in general. Just don't make a big deal out of it. I mean, yeah, saying you shouldn't necessarily repeat it in certain situations, but don't act like it's bad to talk about it at all. That's not good.
That steak story killed me 🤣
i really truly needed this today. i lost my childhood best friend yesterday and the grieving process is already taking its toll on me. thank you guys for making my day a little bit brighter
The new manager story being the most wholesome thing I've ever heard, immediately followed by the unhinged "I threw at steak out a window" story, has made my week.
love that the wholesome episode is shorter than most of the other videos in this series 🤣
I think reddit is the same vibe as twitter in the sense…toxicity overruns the good😭
@@shelbys8870that and their comments arent a full essay of how awful the people are 😂
A lot less to discuss when people are kind, more debate when we’re deciding the level of asshole
Yea there’s just less extended discourse when people aren’t assholes 😂 it was the same amount of stories, at the same length, but as Angela said “there’s just not much to say, that’s wonderful”
Not much to talk about I guess lol
Omg the story about the manager helping out the dude made me cry. It’s genuinely so rare to see people look out for their fellow man
The way I started crying with the very first story from the moment Shayne read that the girl asked OP if he was okay 😭
My rule of thumb for when others are in embarrassing situations: if it can be fixed in thirty seconds (lipstick smudge, food in teeth), mention it. If it would take longer to fix, Angela has the right idea.
like there's literally nothing embarrassing about being told you have something in your teeth or on your cheek or whatever. like yea tell me, the embarrassing part is of strangers see it because they sure as fuck won't tell me either lmao
These are so great, but y'all missed an opportunity with the steak story. The wife wrote her own version of events and it is HILARIOUS.
i was dying at that story, how is no one talking about it in thr comments lmao. the scene is so surreal
OMG link PLEASE
please give us the link or the name of the story to look up ourselves. that sounds hilarious and i would love to read it!
I need the link omg
Link plz sir
I love that this reddit stories segment has gotten more and more consistency, I watch these whenever I need something to preoccupy my mind and todays was wholesome af
A friend of mine came out to his parents during his birthday dinner as a teen and he'd asked me to be there in case things got dicey even though I told him that would happen. Anyway, half way through he just goes " mom, dad I'm gay" and everyone just froze for a second. I could see him tense up as his parents looked at each other and his dad just says "yeah, we know" and his mom says "honey, we've known since you were in middle school" and that was that. 😂
I really want them to do an 'update themed' episode. It's only stories with 2 or more updates.
I think they have before! So they'll probably do it again
I'd love if they made an episode or a one update at the end of each episode where they give updates to stories we've heard before.
While the mom is wrong for attaching a negative connotation to a proper medical term for a body part, Shayne's right about parents having to be in sync. Way too often you see fathers trying to 'undermine' the mother's parenting just to be the 'cool parent' and play besties with their kid, which in turn villainizes the mom. A father's role is first and foremost the parental role, which is a *team effort*.
Yup, exactly. I 100% think the mom was wrong about the word "penis", but I'm not comfortable with a lot of these situations where dad is the fun parent and he and the daughter both bond over mom being less "fun" than them. It reminds me of this quote I think about often (because growing up I was also the daughter who found my dad way more fun and understanding, and my mom dour and boring): "Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate."
Well said
@@esscee7463i was thinking of this exact same quote listening to this story. it’s always so spot on.
Idk where you're getting that one sided understanding from. Mothers are just as capable of undermining fathers in parenting and try to be the cool parent. Also, parental dynamics aren't always so mild. In fact, they're often much worse. Most parents just are not good parents. Many are verbally, physically, and/or emotionally abusive and manipulative with their kids, and many parents split because one or the other gets fed up with the abuse because they are on the receiving end too. A lot of parents also just want their children to be facsimiles of themselves and will do everything in their power to restrict their freedom and individuality, forcing them to have the same experiences and interests and beliefs they have. This is universal. It's not a gender thing. Many people are just not fit to be parents, and many people aren't compatible as parents.
If the parents need to be in sync why cant they be both on the fathers side? Why do they have to be on mom's side to be a united front? Also kids need to learn that their parents are both individuals that may have different views and beliefs. In my opinion, mum was in the wrong and this wasn't 'undermining' her. She needed to be shown her decision on how to handle the situation was wrong
Y'all I'm crying about Angela's and Tommy's dad. If I have a kid one day, I want to be a dad like that. Imagine having a bond like that with your dad.
I'd be careful with that. It sounded more to me (especially with Tommy's wording) to be less a "cool dad" and more a "I disagree with your mother who I think is over reacting but instead of talking it out with her and coming to and sticking with a decision as parents I'm going to come try to be the "cool dad" and throw mom under the bus as the "uncool" parent" kind of dad.
In story 2, the way mom reacted is ridiculous. She didn't swear. Or lie. Or say offensive stuff. It's a film history/medical fact. Mom needs to grow up if she is so offended by this.
angela's chemistry with every single person on this cast is insane. you can put her next to anyone and we'll think they've been best friends for years!
THAT'S WHAT I SAID WHILE WATCHING THIS OMG. with tommy, chanse, amanda, courtney, shayne. she's just so good
Angela is amazingly talented, she could have chemistry with anybody! Like, some people can be harder to vibe with sometimes, but her and Olivia?? Chaos Cousins! 😂 And her and Keith?? Keith can be tough, I love him for it, and I had _no idea_ how much I would love seeing them interact, every time 😂
(Also everybody should watch the Beopardy Charity Stream that Keith hosted, OMG it was amazing!)
When I was homeless in my early 20s I would often rummage through the dumpster of a nearby Panda Express at the end of the night looking for any viable tossed out food. There was a girl who worked there who was the only one who didn't yell at me to leave. One day she sat and talked with me about my situation. I just sort of opened up to her about my life, my crippling drug problem, etc. Turns out she was a recovering addict as well. Wasn't offered a job, but she eventually became my 1st NA sponsor. 8 years clean and counting!🙌 All thanks to the kindness and compassion of one random person. I've moved away from that city but we still keep in touch often. 💟
Fun fact, I work at a spice store, and one customer (upon walking in and smelling all the ambient scents) announced to the room "If you dropped a steak in here, I'd eat it" and I could not help but think of that after the steak story, and Tommy's comment at the end. And as a side note, the store I work at was in a very old building at the time (give or take 100 years or so), so rather than like, a Montreal steak spice, what you'd get is mostly 100 year old sawdust and some random person's bath water because the pipes from the apartments above the store leaked 😂😂😂
For Tommy: my coming out story was being just bursting it out before bedtime and having a breakdown. Not because of me being nervous about his reaction, but just because of pent up energy. My dad just hugged me and started listing different celebrities I liked who were also bisexual, trying to just make me smile and feel less other, since I didn’t know any other bisexuals. I have the best dad. My mum just said it was exciting and wanted to gossip about my crush. I also have the best mum
After hearing my grandpa was approved for medically assisted dying last night, wholesome is exactly what I need
Sending love! My grandpa passed unexpectedly last year; I send you so much love and comfort as you begin your grief journey ❤❤
@@alysonlundberg5810 Thank you so much for the comforting words. I’m so sorry you’ve endured a similar grief. Send love your way as well! I’m forever astounded by the kindness of strangers.
So sorry to hear that! It's so hard to lose loved ones. Take care and patience with your grief and loss ❤
@@hannahblomgren8230sending you hugs and love from the other side of the world, Ghana. My lost my grandma two years ago. It was a really tough time for me but i was glad she died peacefully. I took care of her and she always made me know she was grateful, and i was glad I could because she did so much for us when we lost our mother at a young age.
And I felt more loved and fulfilled because I was there for her through out. I held her hands as she took her last breath and even though it hurt seeing her go, i was happy she wasn't and isn't in pain anymore.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that take solace in the fact that grandpa will be at peace.
Sending you a very BIG AND WARM HUG. Take care
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you and your family will be okay
Queer girl here who came out to her parents sort of unexpectedly and with no warning. They both accepted me pretty easily, Mom was hesitant at first, but more in the "I just never even considered this and just need a moment to process" deal, we're all cool, but my Dad also had basically no reaction like the OP of that story. While obviously I'm happy he accepted me so easily, I can say that the lack of reaction was also strange from him and it took me some time to actually know for sure if he was supportive or not. I obviously don't speak for every queer person, but my advice to any parents is that if your child does come out to you, the "no reaction" angle may not be the best. It doesn't need to be a dramatic song and dance since actually coming out is stressful enough, but clear and direct positive affirmation would go a long way
yeah it’s good to clarify “I’m good w you being gay” and not leaving things ambiguous. I know ppl who introduced their partners that way and the parents were nice… until it was over and they were like “we didn’t want to make things awkward, but never bring that person back”. Or “cool, as long as you get married to the right gender, later”. Or “it’s just a phase”. Or straight-up “I was so shocked by that I didn’t process it… now I’ve prayed on it, and you need help”. So I think saying, at some point, (maybe not w the partner there), clarifying that you’re not homophobic and you love and accept etc is a good idea
i honestly don't remember my parents' reaction, but i remember my perternal grandparents' reaction. they told me they'd thought about how they'd react if their children came out, so they were already prepared (fucking awesome move imo). they were basically "that's cool. thanks for telling us." and that's my favourite reaction. i can tell the ideal reaction is different for everyone tbh. i much prefer the understated one, but i also understand that others want loved ones to make a bigger deal out it.
Well said, I totally agree. My parent's were supportive but really non chalant, and I explained years later that it felt anti-climactic 😅 You just hear so many stories, good and bad, of parents reacting to kids coming out that it's easy to get worked up. A nonchalant response kind of knocks the wind out of our sails, y'know?
@@TheodoreStagnum your grandparents totally had the right idea, and that response really hits the mark. Acknowledgment that someone is sharing something very personal with you and that you accept and support them is all that's needed, and saying it outloud doesn't need to go past that initial conversation, at least for me personally
i think this is what bothered me about the response to that story because my impulse when hearing about how the father reacted was not one of like...heart-warming acceptance. eventually it became clear that the story was overall a good one, but i'm just not on the same page as ppl saying queer people just want to be treated like straight people. it feels like an impulse similar to that "i don't see color" philosophy. what we want is to be treated equally -- not that same, but as equals. that means acknowledging that we are constantly impacted by the potential of queerphobia -- from our families, at our jobs, in our relationships, in public. if you're accepting of your queer child, it needs to be communicated in no uncertain terms.
My dad was the “just let me yell at you so your mom leaves us both alone” type 😂😂😂😂 I got dark humor from him
stopped mid work because i HAVE to comment on the last story. IT'S SO SWEET??? and really pictures how a relationship isn't always perfect and how good it can be despite of that. how the guy found out he was looking at it with the wrong lens and how he felt way better when he noticed it?? absolute romance. love that so much
Finally, some stories that don’t make me recoil in my seat with utter disgust and disbelief.
When I came out to my parents, my mom was more in denial than my dad. My dad however, total legend. He clapped me on the back of my shoulder said he knew I was always a little gay, and that he agreed with me, "Women are hot." We had a good laugh and then I privately cried. Being accepted is still really hard in the LGBTQIA community and for my tough as nails dad to just tell me he loves me regardless is a special kind of acceptance. Good parents! 🎉❤
any time i've come out to someone and they have told me they could tell or always knew, especially when they were close family members, i have only ever felt like it was a dismissal (and also a bit of a lie). i'm glad for some ppl it seems fine, but i've never felt like it was an appropriate thing to say to someone coming out.
@@austind.8108
I will never not be amazed at the human perspective. I never would have thought that. I have always just viewed that sentiment as being seen. I grew up down south in the US so not being believed was a huge concern, and common occurrence. I'm sorry you have had a different experience. Thank you for the insight.
When I came out to my mom as bi she had a little tough time. She wasn't mean or anything like that. And my dad wad like are you happy? That's all that matters. My mom did end up for father's day that year buying rainbow paper plates to represent me. And made a rainbow ghost for Halloween decorations. 😊
@@austind.8108 It's not a dismissal so much as an understanding. Coming from the other person's perspective, it's an attempt to let you know "Hey, I already understand and accept this about you, don't worry, the relationship we've had won't be changing because this was already a factor in it." I think it's also important to note that while your sexuality is a very big deal to you, that doesn't mean it's gonna be a big deal to anyone else, nor does it have to be.
I like how Tommy said "I cried on set today" & Angela adding "me too" y'all saying it like it's an achievement, it's so cute 🥰
And i didnt get them fanning each others faces the first time lisyenjng to this 😂
Coming out as trans was so stressful but my family was supportive, even my grandparents.
I'm so glad you had that. I didn't, and it makes me so so happy when people don't have to experience the horrific trauma of being made homeless and having to go no contact is. I love to hear these stories, thank you! Merry Met and Blessed Be 🧙🏽❤
Finally some stories that don’t make me want to turn into a chicken/goose/turkey and go rogue on the people in the stories
Edit- I have now added goose and turkey, thank you replies! :)
Into a chicken??🤣
@melanino Have you ever been harassed by a chicken? Those birds are RELENTLESS. They will destroy themselves just to draw blood if they are mad at you.
EDIT: And yes, the implication from this that I have personally been harassed by a chicken is, in fact, true. I was a small child at a birthday party. The chickens did NOT want me near them or anywhere on the premises.
@@yoyohayliforget chickens, you ever got beaten up by a goose? that’s some devastating shit, geese can and will fuck you up
@@starfox5165 geese could legit just straight up kill you if they're mad at you
@@starfox5165 duuuuuuude one time my neighborhood got overflowed with wild geese in the streets, literally could not leave the house without geese charging at you and screaming
We need more smosh co-worker reddit stories + confessions! 😄
not the beanbag. dark ride and airplane are fine, but ffs not beanbag.
Yessss! They are the best
I've watched basically all the reddit stories videos and this one is easily my favorite. Please consider doing more heartwarming/wholesome ones!
Is there anyway we could possibly get a "feel good stories 2: electric bugaloo" in the future? These really made my day
Angela + Tommy = the best reactions
We're just missing the blindside out-of-pocket comments Noah makes
Iconic, right from the start as the "secret devils".
Two things: 1.) Do more wholesome episodes, they’re fantastic. 2.) I think a fun idea would be to see the Smosh staff’s favorite Reddit stories.
Who knew Angela, Tommy, and Shayne would be the holy trinity for reddit stories. Here’s to hoping they team up again
I love the last story!!! My husband lost his mom very young as well! And he asked my mom if she would dance with him, it was the most heart warming moment of the whole reception. Much love to all at smosh!
I came out as Bi to my dad by saying “So…I’ve recently discovered women are also hot” and he said yes, asked how my partner felt about me being Bi (he’s okay with it), and said he was okay with it too. The perfect response imo ❤
I just think that Angela is so emotionally intelligent. She responds with so much thought and empathy, and I really appreciate her perspective on these Reddit stories. More wholesome stories pleek
Faith in humanity? Restored. Laughed. Cried. We got legends. Perfect episode
This was exactly what I needed tonight. Lovely people talking about wholesome hopeful moments. You all look so wonderful and Shane was shining in his outfit with the color of the set. The whole team from those who found the stories, pitched this idea, shot, lit, moved set pieces, edited... every one of you did so good with this presentation! Great job guys.
tommy's drip is immaculate lately, the wardrobe change he mentioned on tntl is everything
"The drip" is the same outfit as Shayne except without cuffing his jeans. Oh god this is unreasonably funny, poor Shayne can't leave his pants legs ALONE
@@baydiacnah Tommy's are cuffed too
@@baydiaci like shayne's style too! was mostly admiring tommy's shoes and thinking about the trench coat he's worn in recent videos when writing this comment
Don’t punish kids for using proper anatomical words. It’s extremely important we don’t teach them that those words are bad to use or it can cause miscommunications in important situations. This is especially if something inappropriate happened to them and they were told to recount the situation. It is important to educate them though that those words are serious and not humorous.
Absolutely. I was baffled by the fact that a TWELVE year old was trying to be punished for the correct word of a body part! You should be teaching kids the names for genitals along with all the other body parts! Penis and vagina/vulva are not bad words.
@@missadissa1It probably had more to do that she was giggling about it, & specifically like "his penis is big hahaha". That specific avenue of conversation can scandalize a parent even if they believe knowing and being comfortable with the word penis is necessary 😂
I don’t think she should be punished for her curiosity but for her disobeying when she told her to stop.
This is one of my favourite shows on CZcams. Honestly this was my favourite episode of Reddit stories ever, my heart is so warm 🥹
I really liked this episode and I hope they do more like this. I’m sure the algorithm doesn’t favor wholesome content like this as much as the drama-filled content, but I think it’s a worthwhile change of pace once in a while!
When it comes to the dad who didn’t “react” to the daughter coming out, my take is that when someone comes out to you, you gotta match the vibes of the person coming out. If the person sets up a dinner and is all serious or if they just mention it/introduces a partner, you gotta react accordingly
About the second story: a 12-year-old isn’t allowed to say the word penis? That’s crazy to me. We were learning about male vs female anatomy at age 9-10ish in my schools. Lots of girls start their periods at 9, but a 12-year-old can’t say penis? Wild.
I cried along with them on that last story. I could only wish to be that emotionally mature.
32:39 it’s that simple. Sometimes due to situation it can vary but that’s exactly how you help someone in that situation
Another video with our favorite certified paint drinker Angela!
I would drink Angela (not in a gay way)
@commanderpinkie7617 there's a straight way to do that?
@@F13FAR0nah i totally understand them, i would drink Angela too.
Angela is tied with Safiya Nygaard for my favorite paint water drinker. Both wonderful people.
@@kul2130Same
Ok, but let's be serious about this for a second. Why in the world would they give Robin pills to shrink his genitals instead of, idk, CHANGING UP THE COSTUME???
The absolute worst thing about those pills? The shrinkage was a side effect. They were for chemically castrating someone, and HE nor his Wife were Told!
The 60s were wild man idk
It was the 60s, drugs were kinda the thing
Hollywood doesn't care about actors' rights or well being.
I heard Adam West had a bit of an ego on him in the hay day (dunno if it’s true or not) so if He had an insecurity regarding the sidekick being “bigger” I feel they would have done more to make Adam feel better…
That last story was so beautiful 😭😭 I’m usually here for the drama but that one was so awesome to hear. Really gives you hope to hear stories like that.
This was one of the best Reddit Stories episodes I've seen on this channel. I hope y'all make more like this from time to time! I know on today's internet, drama is the content king, but this was absolutely amazing.
Tomey being in videos is like getting the cool employee as your cashier
Y’all I need to let everyone know that the wife from the steak on the window story,( 36:03 )posted her side of the event! I don’t know if she knew he posted his side as well cause they make no mention of each others Reddit post. But I love the fact that they both went to Reddit to rant lmao
soulmates
@@baintreachas oh for sure!!
You guys need to do a Reddit Olympics, so many things from these stories to do, like throwing a streak out a window.
Actually please have a couple more episodes like this sprinkled throughout reading reddit stories because I always smile listening to you all but the smile I had listening to this ep hit different
When I got my first period, I came crying to my mom thinking I was a whole ass freak (public school failed us all)
My mom started laughing and explained I just started my period and confirmed that I was, in fact, not dying. She is a literal gem of a parent, and we have the best relationship still 15 years later
I was home when I got mine. I was super scared when I saw the blood in my underwear and I cried for my mom. She calmed me down and immediately got me pads and showed me how to use them after getting me clean underwear. She even cuddled up with me on the couch and told me that I was going to be okay and told me that I started my period. Luckily my mom works for CVS and she knows what kind of medication works for it. She's currently on disability since she had a stroke right before Halloween, but she is recovering well. She is no longer working with her physical therapist and occupational therapist, but she is still working with her speech therapist. She can walk around, but she can't use our basement stairs. She and I had a day out Saturday with my aunt at the mall and she was completely fine the whole time. We stopped briefly to catch our breaths, but she was able to walk around the mall and through the parking lot without any complaints. She's also able to cook as well. She can't drive yet, but hopefully she will be able to soon.
18:57 i feel like if the mom shuns her on this topic it’s gonna make the daughter never want to talk to them abt intimacy or relationships. she’s rly not being inappropriate and it’s nice to see such an open and light hearted line of communication
40:21 When Tommy just went "Bonk" so casually 😂😂😂 I watched that clip like 5x now
This is off topic but kudos to the audio quality the microphones you guys use are so crisp it helps me when I’m at work with my loud machinery keep up the good stories
Ty guys for being so cool about incontinence. I have some friends who have it due to spinal injuries or other disabilities (it happens to people who’ve had kids, too!) and in my experience, the best thing to do is not to panic, politely offer a napkin/ wipes for cleanup, offer to cover them if they excuse themselves to the bathroom, and see if there’s a discreet way to change clothes. Basically, his date totally nailed it.
An update hat is such a good idea. Like instead of announcing "Update" you whip out the hat and make a whole spectacle out of it lol
the wholesome ones are a nice breathe of fresh air. would love to see more of these every now and then
The steak one! I remember when I was new to my very first job. Well, for one, hospital work environments are known to be on the more toxic side here. So my head nurse likes to cook for the unit on the holidays. One time, she made me eat the spaghetti she cooked from home, and it tasted like moth balls 😭
I contemplated hard what to do. Yup, I ended up eating it without telling her for fear of getting bullied by superiors. Anyway, years later, when they became my friends, I told them the story and had a good laugh.
