On the 17th episode of the Joevelocity Show, we delve into the chaotic and often absurd experiences shared on Reddit, highlighting the wild interactions between individuals that showcase the range of human behavior and our reactions to it.

As we enter 2026, Hubba and I reflect on our subdued New Year's celebrations, humorously recounting our experiences and observations about socializing in a post-pandemic world where staying in often holds more appeal than going out.

We kick off our discussion with an outrageous tale of an encounter with a man asking for a burger at McDonald's, who reacted poorly to receiving a meal he didn't specifically order, leading to a comical exchange. The humor around this story showcases how people often misinterpret kindness and the social norms surrounding gratitude or expectations of generosity. We explore the responses on Reddit, where commenters hilariously critique both the harmed and the harmers in this situation, questioning the absurdity of the demands placed on those offering help.

Moving on, we unveil another Reddit saga involving a party gone wrong, where a guest accidentally soiled the host's couch and bed. This leads us to question shared responsibilities and etiquette when visiting someone else's home. The mishap escalates as a messy group dynamic unfolds, showcasing the aftermath efforts for reimbursement and the emotional fallout from friends who feel unjustly accused. We share our thoughts on the nature of friendship and accountability, reinforced by reactions from the Reddit community that oscillate between sympathy for the host and disbelief at the guest's behavior.

The show proceeds with a perplexing workplace narrative where a server confronts accusations of drinking on the job. The story spirals as the server attempts to clear their name by calling the police, only to face more significant consequences in the form of insubordination charges from management. This amplifies our discussion on workplace politics and the complexities of establishing trust and competence within a work environment. The precarious balance between authority and employee treatment comes to the forefront, compelling us to ponder the ethical implications of management decisions.

Finally, we explore a truly chaotic workplace scenario involving a conflict between coworkers, which escalates into physical altercations driven by personal grievances and a lack of leadership. The aftermath not only results in multiple firings but also reveals a toxic work culture that neglects to address issues cohesively. Our reflections on this situation lead us to consider the importance of conflict resolution and effective management in maintaining a healthy work environment.

Next, we dive into some comically distressing situations involving family traditions—the recurring theme of “A Christmas Story” movie marathons that leave some family members feeling overstimulated and drained.

The conversation highlights the often-overlooked nuances of family traditions and personal boundaries that can lead to holiday pressures.

• AITA for just giving everyone money for Christmas?

We address the scenarios that highlight the complexities of holiday interactions—from appraising gifts in terms of monetary value to navigating intense familial expectations around Christmas traditions.

Finally, we wrap up with a haunting and peculiar story about a Christmas celebration that takes a bizarre turn when faced with an ominously intense family belief in St. Nick.

On the 12th episode of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is joined by Hubba, and we discuss r/AITA stories from Reddit.

• My girlfriend and I have a puppy but cannot be there for her 100% of the time. AITA? 

We start off with a discussion about the responsibilities of pet ownership, particularly when it comes to managing time and care for a young puppy. We tackle a dilemma involving a couple who are struggling to care for their new puppy while balancing their college commitments. The puppy's care falls on the girlfriend's younger brother, leading to an incident where the puppy chews a bottle of urine cleaner, raising concerns about her health. We explore the parents' frustration over the situation and their threat to put the puppy up for adoption due to the couple's absence. As we unpack the scenario, we debate whether it's fair to hold a 13-year-old responsible and highlight the importance of understanding the responsibilities of having a pet. The overarching theme is about learning to juggle priorities and responsibilities while ensuring the safety and well-being of a beloved pet.

• AITA for not supporting my friend's "AI music career"?

Next, we explore the role of AI in creative industries, questioning its impact on authenticity and the value of human skill. We discuss how AI-generated content, such as music and movies, is gaining traction, sometimes at the expense of genuine human creativity. Concerns about AI replacing real artists and creating virtual personas for commercial gain are raised, alongside humorous yet unsettling examples of AI-generated media featuring iconic figures like Bob Ross, Fred Rogers, and Michael Jackson. Throughout, we stress the importance of using AI as a tool rather than a replacement for human input, emphasizing honesty and transparency with audiences about AI's involvement in creative processes.

The conversation shifts to a personal story about the responsibility and fairness involved when accidents happen, specifically when asking a girlfriend to pay for a broken gaming headset.

I discuss the wife's confusion and concern as she navigates this surreal situation, trying to understand her husband's motivations and whether his desire to participate in such a trip is indicative of a deeper truth about his sexuality. We also touch on the emotional strain this revelation has placed on their marriage, the husband's defensive stance, and the wife's fear of their marriage potentially ending if he proceeds with the trip. Through humor and disbelief, we reflect on the challenges of communication and trust within a relationship when confronted with such unexpected desires.

• AITA for not stocking the fridge for my husband after his business trip?

In the first story, Joe and Hubba examine the evolving dynamics of marriage and family expectations, particularly focusing on traditional gender roles and their impact on relationships. We explore how some men may view marriage as a final destination, leading to an imbalance in shared responsibilities at home. Anecdotes about family experiences highlight these themes, such as the story of a father who expected his wife to make him a sandwich while she was in labor. The conversation shifts to generational differences in relationships, with older couples often enduring hardships longer than younger ones today.

The niece, who originally stayed behind to pursue college while her parents moved out of state, has not enrolled in school and has developed poor living habits.

(00:00:00) I read Reddit Stories: Crashing Plates and the Pee-Pee Tapes

(00:01:18) AITA for paying for my dog’s surgery instead of helping my girlfriend’s sister with her rent?

(00:04:40) AITA for saying I will move out of my parents house?

(00:11:56) AITA for being in love with two men at the same time?

(00:16:50) AITA for not following an autistic ritual resulting in property being damaged?

(00:20:55) AITA for not taking in my BIL who peed on my stuff and blamed my cat?

On the 10th episode of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is solo this time, and he reads some more r/AITA stories from Reddit.

• AITA for paying for my dog’s surgery instead of helping my girlfriend’s sister with her rent?

The first r/AITA story is about a man who chose to pay for his dog's $8,500 surgery instead of helping his girlfriend's sister with her rent. I discuss the ethical and personal dilemmas involved, examining whether he is in the wrong for prioritizing his pet's health over his girlfriend's family issues. The story highlights different perspectives, with some commenters siding with the man's right to spend his money as he sees fit, while others emphasize the importance of compassion. I suggest potential solutions, such as offering a loan or finding a roommate, to navigate the tension between financial responsibility and empathy.

• AITA for saying I will move out of my parents house?

Next, Joe addresses a challenging family situation where a 24-year-old single mother, living with her parents to complete her sonography program, faces the dilemma of making room for her grandmother, whose health is rapidly declining. With the family's three-bedroom home already full, the proposed solution involves moving her teenage brother to the living room, prompting her to suggest moving out to ease the cramped living conditions. This suggestion leads to tension with her mother, who feels overwhelmed and accuses her of being ungrateful. Through thoughtful commentary, I explore the importance of balancing short-term sacrifices for long-term goals, the complexities of family obligations, and the need for understanding and support during difficult times. Emphasizing the value of completing her education for a better future, I highlight the temporary nature of the discomfort and encourage communication and compassion among family members.

• AITA for being in love with two men at the same time?

The next story addresses the complexities of navigating love triangles and the importance of making decisive choices for personal growth and relationship clarity. I explore the notion that true love is selfless and contrast it with the often self-centered nature of lust. The chapter highlights the potential fallout of choosing between two partners and reflects on personal experiences of being single after choosing poorly. Additionally, I discuss the necessity of ensuring that relationships add value rather than detract from one's life.

• AITA for not following an autistic ritual resulting in property being damaged?

I touch on an awkward social situation involving a friend's autistic child and an unexpected dinner ritual, emphasizing the importance of communication and setting expectations in social gatherings to avoid misunderstandings and conflict.

• AITA for not taking in my BIL who peed on my stuff and blamed my cat?

In the Moment of Conclusion, I examine the story where the poster and her husband once lived with his brother while her husband finished college. She brought her toilet-trained male cat, with everyone’s approval. Not long after moving in, she started finding her clothes, shoes, and other belongings soaked in urine that smelled human, not like cat pee. The brother blamed the cat, but after weeks of frustration, the poster set up a hidden camera — and caught her husband’s brother himself sneaking into their room and urinating on her things.She immediately moved out, left her husband to handle it, and never really spoke to his brother again. Years later, after the pandemic left the brother unemployed and homeless, he asked to move in with them. She refused, saying she could never live with someone who had literally peed on her belongings. Joe voted her as not an asshole. Her brother-in-law’s behavior was egregious and violating and refusing to let him move in is a reasonable boundary, not a grudge.

(00:00:00) We read Reddit Stories: Laughter, Limits, and Lessons in Pranking

(00:00:46) Intro

(00:06:30) AITA for laughing when my wife fell and pooped her pants because I thought it was a prank?

(00:09:40) AITA for ruining the banana prank?

(00:18:17) AITA for going to the police over a 'prank'

(00:27:08) AITA for wearing a white dress to my friend’s wedding?

On the 9th episode of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is joined by his mother Sharon, and we discuss some r/AITA stories from Reddit.

• AITA for laughing when my wife fell and pooped her pants because I thought it was a prank?

We start off with the story of a 33-year-old man laughed when his 31-year-old wife fell and said she had pooped her pants, because he assumed it was another one of her toilet-humor pranks. She’s known for pulling stunts like that, so he thought it was intentional comedy. When he realized it wasn’t a joke, he tried to help, but she was upset, sarcastically called him “husband of the year,” and argued he should have known it was real since she doesn’t repeat pranks. He wonders if he’s the asshole for laughing at her accident.

• AITA for ruining the banana prank?

Next, we venture into the humorous yet complex world of pranks within relationships. We explore a story where a husband and wife navigate the repercussions of frequent pranking, questioning when jokes stop being funny and start causing friction. We also examine a listener's story involving a woman who has a strong dislike for bananas and her boyfriend's persistence in using them as a prank. Despite her general love for pranks, the banana jokes push boundaries, sparking a discussion on respect and understanding personal boundaries within relationships. The chapter humorously critiques these situations while emphasizing the importance of recognizing when a joke is no longer a joke but an act of insensitivity.

• AITA for going to the police over a 'prank'

Next, we explore a troubling incident where a vegan individual, intoxicated at a party, was tricked into eating chicken nuggets by friends who claimed they were vegan-friendly. The story highlights the importance of respecting dietary choices, as these choices often extend beyond mere preference to encompass lifestyle and health concerns. We reflect on how such pranks can have severe physical and emotional consequences, especially for those with strict diets like vegetarians and vegans. We also consider personal experiences with dietary changes and the societal lack of understanding that sometimes surrounds them. By sharing stories from both the podcast hosts and cultural references like a "Seinfeld" episode, we emphasize that respecting others' dietary preferences is crucial and not a matter for humor.

• AITA for wearing a white dress to my friend’s wedding?

Finally, we’re taken through a perplexing and emotional story of friendship and betrayal, revolving around the age-old faux pas of wearing a white dress to a wedding. A woman recounts how she wore a white dress to her friend Charlotte's wedding, a decision she made after Charlotte specifically chose the dress for her, despite her own reservations. The story takes an unexpected turn when Charlotte reveals that this was a loyalty test, leading to an explosive confrontation. We explore the bewildering nature of this "friendship test" and question the motives behind such a move, particularly after the support and financial help given by the narrator. We discuss the unrealistic expectations set by Charlotte, the extravagant nature of the wedding, and how a potential moment of laughter turned into a public fallout. We question the essence of true friendship and the absurdity of testing loyalty in such a dramatic fashion.

(00:11:42) AITA for not wanting my daughter’s party turned into a pregnancy announcement?

(00:19:23) AITA for accepting an $800 reward for a lost cat?

(00:26:07) AITA for expecting my girlfriend to help with our flights home for a funeral?

On the 8th episode of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is joined by his mother Sharon, and we discuss some r/AITA parties stories from Reddit.

• AITA for snapping at my husband that he needs to get over his ADHD quirk?

Starting off, we explore a fascinating scenario where a listener shares a story about her husband's sensitivity to the sound of her blinking, potentially linked to his ADHD or misophonia. We unpack the complexities of living with ADHD and how it can affect relationships, especially when unusual sensitivities arise. While the husband's sensitivity seems extreme, it's acknowledged as a real issue, possibly exacerbated by stress or the cessation of medication. We also discuss potential solutions, such as therapy, medication, and practical measures like earplugs, emphasizing the importance of communication and understanding in managing such challenges. Throughout, we reflect on personal experiences with similar sensitivities, such as noisy chewing, and highlight the need for mutual empathy and coping strategies.

• AITA for not wanting my daughter’s party turned into a pregnancy announcement?

Next, we explore a family dilemma where a woman is concerned about her brother-in-law's plan to announce his girlfriend's pregnancy at her daughter's second birthday party. She fears the announcement will overshadow her daughter's special day and worries about the potential reaction from her father-in-law, known for his explosive temper. We discuss whether it's fair for the brother-in-law to use this occasion for his announcement and her anxiety about her father-in-law's unpredictable behavior. Suggestions include confronting the brother-in-law to disclose the news beforehand or possibly not inviting the father-in-law to maintain peace. The consensus leans toward prioritizing the daughter's birthday and addressing the family's communication issues to avoid further conflicts.

• AITA for accepting an $800 reward for a lost cat?

We explore the ethical dilemma of accepting a monetary reward for returning a lost pet. We consider the differing opinions of friends who believe it might be in poor taste to accept the money, especially given the family's financial situation. We reflect on the value of pets as family members and discuss the importance of setting realistic reward amounts for lost animals. Joe shares anecdotes about his own pet expenses, highlighting how people are often willing to spend significant sums on their pets' well-being. Additionally, it’s examined how the promise of a reward can motivate people to help locate lost pets, ultimately justifying the acceptance of such rewards.

• AITA for expecting my girlfriend to help with our flights home for a funeral?

Finally, we examine the situation where a man is accompanying his girlfriend to her family member’s funeral across the country is taking four days off work and spending $500 on his own ticket. Her parents gave her money that fully covers her flight plus an extra $100. She insists that money is entirely hers, refuses to share it, and even plans to return the extra $100 to her parents rather than help him. He feels entitled to some of the money since he’s making sacrifices to support her and believes it’s selfish for her not to contribute. He asks if he’s the asshole for expecting financial help from her under these circumstances. We determine that she is in the wrong and should help her significant other.
