Am Eye The A**hole w/ Jacksepticeye | Reading Reddit Stories

In this episode of Smosh Reads Reddit Stories, hosts Shane and Trevor welcome YouTuber Jacksepticeye to dissect "Am I the Asshole?" (AITA) posts from Reddit. They read stories aloud, share reactions, reference subreddit verdicts like "NTA" (not the asshole) or "YTA" (you're the asshole), and discuss nuances such as tone, expectations, and communication. The group weighs family pressures, relationship missteps, pet etiquette, stranger interactions, and odd mishaps, often highlighting how small oversights escalate conflicts.

Holiday Potluck Turns into Cash Grab

A family of two with a baby faces a demand to contribute $100 minimum in food or cash for a 20-25 person Thanksgiving, after a nephew buys $300 in meat and a sister adds options like covering her dad's $200 water bill. The poster suggests skipping instead. Hosts call it absurd—potlucks mean shared dishes like mashed potatoes, not receipts or reimbursements; $100 per small family rivals restaurant costs, and math doesn't add up ($300 meat split among many isn't $100 each). Subreddit votes NTA overwhelmingly, with top comments noting it's a potluck, not charity; nephew shouldn't overbuy unaffordable meat. Update: Sister shames poster's teacher salary publicly; hosts advise cutting ties, as pre-holiday drama signals worse gatherings.
