This week on Ep 38 of What in the Shibal, Susie's younger daughter has her last volleyball game that ends in a lot of tears for her daughter. Susie tells her dad she used to cry all the time at her games. Susie wonders why different cultures have different crying styles. Ed replaced his cutting boards with new wooden boards and has been conditioning them all week long. Ed wonders what to do about his grandmother's necklace. Ed wants to find his siblings and was thinking of using the Susi Pesto trend to tell the story of his family, and Susie gives Ed her opinion on what he should do. This round of AITA includes - AITA for not cooking Asian Food for my Mother?  AITA for refusing to Stop Speaking Chinese in front of my Step Family? AITA for saying Asian Girls make the Best Partners when my Girlfriend is white? AITA for refusing to change the way I talk? AITA for Calling Myself Asian or Mixed? AITA for calling my Sister In Law Rac*st After she Compared my Cooking to Kung Pao Chicken?
