What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
My name is Shannon Maldonado. I am the founder of the Jaui gift shop, which sells handmade artisanal products. I chose Shopify because when I tested the equipment, I found it to be one of the easiest to use equipment. It was important for me to consider our development in the future. All tools needed for sales, such as inventory planning, are handy on the dashboard. Start your free trial at shopify.com website.
I've been thinking about fish luck. What about it? How you're so good at catching fish. Even though we have the same gear and the same rules, and the boat sinks into the same water, just like these fish would sink me. And vice versa. How do you know who's in the other hand? Am I so obvious?
Don't think too much. Easier said than done. Motonet. Motonet. Motonet.
This episode of Reddit Stories is sponsored by DoorDash. Got you delivered. DoorDash. Hi, welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is relationships. And I am joined by two lovely people who I think in their life have maybe experienced a relationship, or two, or three, I don't know. Maybe. Arasha and Damien are here. Hey everybody, great to be here.
We've had lots of relationships.
So we've got a bunch of relationship stories today. I like the producers put in a little note of like, Ferry, what would you do coded relationship stories? John Quinones. Okay. He's right over there.
Yes.
I'm particularly excited for this because I've been watching Couples Therapy again.
Oh, you love that.
Oh, cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am fascinated by relationships. It was what like inspired me to go study psychology. Oh, really? I didn't know that. It's like human behavior, but I really am fascinated by like, not like romantic relationships particularly, just relationships.
Yeah.
Like the connection. The connection, communication, like how so much of it is vibes, but so much of it is kind of like simple things that build up.
I totally agree. I totally agree. It's just interesting how like, especially in a larger group, how like some people tend to gravitate toward each other and form their own circles. It's just, it is, it's interesting.
It's really cool. And some people are like kind of like the outsider, like the rebel of the group that kind of marches to the beat of their own drum. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, similarly, but actually not at all, I started watching Love Island last night.
Oh yeah, as of recording this, it just started. So by the time this airs in July, all of the cast members will have been canceled. Oh, 100%. Is this the American one? Yeah, this is Love Island USA.
What relationship theme does the episode introduce and who are the hosts?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I am saying this now that I'm like, I shouldn't watch it. But I know by the time this airs, I'm gonna be hooked.
You have to. The pilot was juicy last night. Already? Uh-huh.
New season. Everybody's kissed everybody. I will say, like, just human connection is just, as a human, you're fascinated. Like, I am fascinated by it.
Yeah, yeah.
I always loved the UK version, and I think that was the version that appealed to me most because people are so polite in general until things blow up. Yeah. I think the moment it became, like, oh, Love Island US, I'm like, well, yeah, I know what's going to happen.
It's becoming a little too reality TV at times.
Yeah.
Still probably going to watch it.
Still iconic. Still iconic.
All right, well, let's see how juicy these stories are. Our first story comes from amitheasshole__wouldibetheasshole__public. There's so many different amitheasshole. Underscore? That's a damn Kingdom Hearts title at that point. Yeah, yeah. Dot hack sign. Yeah. This was posted April of 2025. Am I the asshole for leaving my boyfriend B-Day dinner after his mom took my seat? So am I the asshole for leaving my boyfriend's birthday dinner after his mom took my seat?
Okay.
Ooh.
I love when it's not so clear cut and we get to have a discussion about this.
I can't wait to one minute from now where it's like, the mom physically picked me up and threw me.
Yeah. And it's not clear cut.
And I don't know who's in the wrong. Right. I, a 25-year-old woman, have been dating my boyfriend, Matt, a 27-year-old man, for almost two years.
