Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hi, welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme is advice.
Chapter 2: What advice is given about a friend who talks too much about Dragon Ball?
That's right. And I'm joined by two people who you should definitely take advice from, Ian and Damien. Thanks, Shane.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever led anyone astray with my advice. Ever. Yeah. I think I've always given very fair, level-headed, and serious advice. Yeah.
Chapter 3: How should you feel about being included in a coworker's will?
Yeah. And that's why I was brought on for this episode. Every bit of advice I'm going to say is completely in earnest. Okay. And I 100% back.
Okay. Take whatever stance you don't, and then we'll get a fair and sort of balanced system.
That's probably a good idea, Damien.
You know, I do actually as a friend, I do really like your advice that you give, because even if I, you know, sometimes it's like dead on. Sometimes I don't agree with it 100 percent, but it's always coming from like a really good and well thought out place. So no matter what, it's always like, oh, OK, I hadn't thought about it like that. It helps me get to where I need to be.
So, yeah. Yeah. He hit you with that genuine shit right off the bat.
Yeah, I was waiting for the... How does that feel? I was waiting for the... The joke?

Chapter 4: What would happen in a hypothetical fight against kindergarteners?
The uppercut to come.
There's no uppercut today.
That'll be later.
He's letting that sit back. Thank you, Damien. No worries. Appreciate you.
Appreciate you. Look, I was a camp counselor for a very brief period of time, and no one ever really came to me for advice, but... I'd like to think if they did, I'd be able to offer them some wisdom that sticks with them to this day.
Today we're going to be covering some subreddits we really haven't touched on much. There's a bunch of advice subreddits. Nice. So we're going to be hearing a lot of people's situations.

Chapter 5: What unusual experience follows a bee sting?
A lot of them are asking for advice. A lot of the advice is given in the comments. That might be very illuminating for all of us. But I think there's a lot of fun conversation topics that are going to come about from all of these things. Perfect.
Chapter 6: How can you help an injured pigeon regain its ability to fly?
Great. All right.
Load it up. All right, here we go. Saddle it up. Here we go.
This is always going to be like, have you tried shooting it? Kill it. Kill it with a gun. Here we go. Our first post. This was posted back in February of 2020. They said, we're doing a podcast with a friend and he's telling the entire Dragon Ball timeline. We've been here for 50 minutes and it doesn't stop. How can we politely tell him that he's been talking for way too long?
Wait, so he's like literally typing as the guy's talking about it?
It's a very short post. Yeah. So he's typing this. He typed this out while they're doing the podcast. The other guy's in the zone, not even paying attention to the fact that they're on the phone. Just locked in on Dragon Ball. 15 minutes doesn't sound like that long. Well, he's probably not finished with Dragon Ball yet.
He hasn't gotten to Dragon Ball Z. And then there's GT, which is like a different timeline.
And then it's Super, right? Dragon Ball Super. There's all the movies. There's like the Broly movie. Well, I hope he covers that. Yeah, he's got to do that. He's got to cover that. And if he wants to really get into it, he's got to do Dr. Slump, which is what Akira Toriyama made before Dragon Ball. I've never heard of this.
Yeah, it's about a little robot girl named Arale, and there's a lot of poop humor. It's more like childish.
Oh, okay.

Chapter 7: What should you do if a pigeon is flying around your house?
They willed it to me. That's all they need to know. They're not going to go... Ooh, you know, like I think people won't pry. And I think regarding the car, like unfortunately, I think just sell it. Sell it, get a different car. That way you don't have that connection because that was the first thing I thought of was like, oh, there's no way they're going to know.
But it's like you're driving up in your former co-worker's car. That's a bit of a red flag. So I would say, yeah, sell the car. Keep the place. Just say it was a very close friend.
if we're going on this route of, like, tell a half-truth or keep some of it secret, she was also the mom's close friend, right? So you could say, oh, a close friend of my mom's passed away, and, like, my mom inherited all of this. Family friend? Yeah, like, it's one of those things where, like, nobody is entitled to know this stuff, right? Like, technically. But it's also really uncomfortable.
This reminds me of a lot of the stories I hear about when people win the lottery. Yeah. And how that is an actual fucking nightmare. Yeah. Like it is terrifying shit. So like coming about a large inheritance of money in any way or form, this is the type of advice I do here. I'm just like, yeah, however you can to keep it secret. Do I like that in my head? No.
Like I am someone who doesn't like to keep secrets at all. I would feel really weird about it. but I also understand what they're saying is like, oh, I'm worried that everybody at my work is going to treat me differently. It's like, yeah. And I don't know this guy. I don't know his workplace, but I'm just like,
I'm curious of how closely people interact and work with one another because if this person who passed away, you know, they're like, oh, that's her SUV. It's like, well, how unique is the SUV? Like, show up in a GMC Yukon or whatever, people are going to be like, that's hers. Right. On top of that, like, I know for me, so I'm maybe projecting here, guilt comes up a lot.
When if you boil it down, I don't have control over something or there's another emotion that's very difficult to process. Guilt for me means like, oh, if I'm guilty about this, then I'm actually, there's something I could have done. Then I'm actually in control about this. Then it's my choice that this happened. You know, they didn't befriend this person to inherit something from them.
Right, right.
had an older friend who passed away. And if they wanted to send their money elsewhere or give it to a relative or something like that, they would have done it. The fact that this person, a younger person, gave this older person the time of day and also became a true friend of them probably meant a lot. And they're like, this is the best thing I can do.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of receiving a large inheritance from a friend?
Yeah, no, because in Sifu, I would always grab brooms. That shit was so fun.
Yeah. You got to keep them at a distance. But if you don't have anything, they just close distance on you and latch onto you like little monsters.
You'd have to, or if there's like desks, as they're charging, you like jump up onto a desk, get a good kick in. Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because otherwise you're dealing with a real like height differential thing here where like they're so small, you're not like, oh, I'm just going to whack them away. It's like you kind of either have to get on their level or use a kick of some kind. But there are no, you know, there's no anything in the room I think, are they coming at you all at once?
Five at a time. I think, yeah. And I'm wondering, do they come from all angles? Old-timey British army in a line? I'm thinking the door opens and five rush in.
Yeah. Okay. I think, okay, so here, okay, so I think you might need to start it with, like, like a football charge. Like you charge at them as they're charging at you. So you nail at least two of them, send them sliding across the floor like 20 feet. Then you got like three.
Like 20 feet, yeah.
Yeah, I mean for me it'd be more like 30 feet. And I beg the classroom is. But then you're dealing with maybe three while the two are like, you know, trying to recover.
Right.
