Chapter 1: What updates are being discussed in this episode?
Hello, and welcome to Smosh Reads Reddit Stories. I'm Shane, and today's theme, updates. Yeah, it's a good one. And before we get into these stories, I have an update for you. Later today, we have our 100th episode, our live show, and you can get tickets at live.smosh.com. It's gonna be at 4 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Get your tickets, check it out.
And if you're busy today, you can still get your ticket and then watch it anytime until March 23rd. It's going to be a doozy. I for one can't wait. It's going to be a doozy. It's going to be a doozy. We won't be able to go back there again. That's for true. Yeah. Ian, Damien.
Hey. Hello. Hi. Thank you for being here. Hey, we're happy to be here. Updates are, I mean, it truly is like the greatest gift to mankind.
It's the bread and butter, and from what I've heard, butter might come up later.
Do you think when, like, do you think, like, in the 50s? Yeah. After the atomic bomb, the guys that worked on the project was like, update, hydrogen bomb.
Ian, you've started this the most Ian way possible. Hey, butter, that sounds cool. I've heard that one of the stories later involves butter.
What's y'all's favorite butter? Drop it in the chat. I like standard Irish butter.
Irish butter's good. I once said Irish-fed butter, I think in a Smosh meeting many years ago, and someone was like, what do you mean grass-fed butter? You don't feed the butter, it's the cows. I'm like, it's called grass-fed butter. So yeah, Kerrygold.
Yeah, I got Kerrygold at home, but like butter from the Brittany region of France. Whoa, all right. Fancy man over here. That's some high-grade butter with a little salt on the top. It's good stuff.

Chapter 2: Why does my ex want me to return a valuable item in person?
It's very real. It's very rough. Okay, update from two days later. Thank you for the advice and for giving me a reality check. Here's an update on my story. I waited two days for a proper response, but I guess that was her response. Regardless, I had already planned to resign and was just looking for another job to transition into.
Just a day after posting this, I was able to quickly land an international client from OLJ. OLJ is an open resume and job posting board, who is paying me four times my monthly salary. So it was monthly. It was a monthly salary. Still. The task seems easier than my usual work, at least in theory, but I still have some concerns since the tools are new to me and different from what I am used to.
However, I believe we grow the most from challenges that scare us, and stepping out of our comfort zone is where real learning happens. So thanks for motivating me to apply, ha ha. I immediately submitted my resignation. My boss later replied, apologizing for the late response and saying she was actually considering my request.
She could have mentioned that when I first asked instead of just reacting with a ha ha and an emoji though, lol. She then asked if I could at least work reduced hours as many of their clients had started with me. That made me smile because suddenly she saw my worth. Yet, when I initially asked for a raise, it seemed like I was not even worth a simple reply.
Not even a two or three letter response like yes or no. Unfortunately, I did not do what some of you suggested. Ha ha reacting to her message or replying with just an emoji instead. I told her that I had already made up my mind and kept it polite because I did not want to burn any bridges, as I still appreciate the experience I gained from the company.
Thank you all for helping me realize my worth. I have learned my lesson and will never go through that again. Very nice. That's very heartfelt.
That would have been so funny, though, to just be like, ha ha. I think that would have fallen into the category, though. It was a few Reddit stories back when you were like, and then on the plane, everyone cheered when I said this thing and I stood up and everyone was like, yeah! That would have been too much, so.
Yeah, I like what Spencer said of like, you know, when you go all Reddit on them. Yeah. And it's true, it's like you see some comments like living out the fantasy. And it's like I respect what she's doing where she's like I'm leaving, I'm screwed. They're screwed over on like a real level. I can just walk away and not have any sort of like.
Absolutely. Yeah, 100%. If the only thing holding you back from, like, your entire company falling apart is one person Googling, am I getting taken advantage of? Like, not the best system. A lot of companies.
