What is the “Ice” story and why does it set the tone for the episode?

Ike Barinholtz 0:00

Hey, I'm Ike Barenholtz. On my new show, Funny You Ask, trivia starts the conversation, and then things immediately go off the rails. I ask a question. My guests think they know the answer. Sometimes they do. More often, they do not. And then the conversation takes a turn. One trivia question turns into stories about career highs, painful bombs, and behind-the-scenes moments that probably should have remained private. You'll hear confidence. Misplaced confidence, bold guesses, wrong answers, quick laughs, and the slow realization that maybe this was a bad idea to say out loud. If you like smart comedy, sharp conversations, and trivia that exists purely to melt people's brains, this is Funny You Ask with me, Ike Barenholz.

Welcome to R slash Nuclear Revenge, where OP gets hit with a death threat, and OP responds by taking away every single thing that person holds dear. Our next Reddit post is from Equally Bad. So this happened about 10 to 15 years ago. It's been a long time. It's the sweetest revenge. I was born in the States, but my family are immigrants. My dad worked as butt-off to become a US citizen. Working three jobs riding a bike to work because he couldn't afford a car. He and his dad saved all their money so they could get the rest of the family here. I say this because I understand the struggles immigrants face coming to America, starting a new life without any support. I would never do this to someone actually trying to better their life.

This piece of trash, though, didn't deserve to be here. This story is about my best. Best friend's boyfriend. He lived with her in her family's house, renting a room, driving her car to work, and using her cell phone that her parents paid for. She was 19 at the time. I was about 21. I was working at a club with my boyfriend. I worked really late and I had two kids. I asked my best friend if she could come over and watch my kids while they slept. Basically, just hang out at my place. My son was about six. To seven years old, the little one was less than a year old at the time. She asked if she could have people over so she wasn't bored. I said, sure, I don't mind. I asked that she just not throw any parties.

We laughed as she agreed. Everything was fine when we got back. I thanked her and she left. Later that night, I saw a cup with a cigarette butt in it. So I text her friend and asked her if someone smoked in the house. The reply I received didn't make any sense. Reading, what kind is it? I said, I don't know. In my mind, there were only like two other people here. How could you not know if one of them smoked inside? She's not a smoker, so I knew it wasn't her. I started receiving more questions instead of a yes or no answer. The replies also didn't make much sense. It was broken English and had stupid spelling mistakes. By this Point, I knew that I wasn't talking to my friend. Instead, I was talking to her boyfriend.

My best friend is white, and he's Mexican. He was trying to fool me so that I would tell him who she was with here. I never liked him. Not for any specific reason, he just rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning. They've been dating for about a year or two. By this point, I knew that he was a piece of trash. I really didn't.

How does the “Karma” segment illustrate unexpected revenge on Reddit?

Disliked him because of how he treated her. He was controlling and abusive. I didn't see her as much anymore because I'd gotten into an argument with him at her house earlier that year. We all wanted to go to a friend's place. He didn't. He said he couldn't go either. She wanted to, but he said no. I told her we were leaving. It was really late, but this butthole made a big deal about it. He decided it was a good idea to Wake up her dad, so her dad would force her to stay home. This pissed me off because he has no respect. He lives in her home and he can't even let her dad sleep.
