You know what I love about you is how honest you are, Steve. Thanks. Thanks. See, I just honey roasted you.

All right, context. My wife and I lead and host a weekly Bible study and a small contingent of our 12 members push hard for us to do honey roast at every person's birthday celebration before our discussion. We eat a meal and talk for about an hour before going and reading and discussion of the Bible for another hour. While this seems like a nice gesture, I hate it. Here's why.

One, it monopolizes the conversation about one person. No one gets to talk about anything else during our meal prior to Bible discussion. The compliments feel fake and conjured up on the spot like they wouldn't have been said had it not been obligatory.

It feels self-serving for someone to force other people to say nice things about them, especially when the focus of the evening is to have a community and learn about the Bible. It's not like we don't acknowledge the person's birthday. My wife and I are great cooks and buy or make the person a free meal of their choosing.

My wife also makes them custom professional grade cake from her baking business that would normally run for close to a hundred bucks. I just don't like that it messes up the very intentional agenda we try to follow for the sake of something that feels self-serving. Am I the a-hole for hating honey roast? And if I'm not, then how would you go about nicely telling folks we aren't doing it anymore?

Wow. Yeah. Uh, look, I think the guy makes some good points. I just would wonder like, where are you on this? It sounds like it's sort of your thing. So maybe you have a little bit more juice than just the regular guy in the room. It sounds like you're above replacement guy. Um, I mean, how long does it go?

If it's 12 people and it's their birthday and everybody said, are we talking five minutes here? I mean, this doesn't sound like a Netflix special.
