11:57 - My boyfriend loves to buy old empty wooden boxes and containers from a thrift store occasionally, and the other day I saw he had a new one. I picked it up to look at it, and with a panicked look on his face, he said "Wait! There's weird stuff in there!" So obviously I immediately opened it to find thirty or forty little rubber replacement earbuds. While this is an excessive number of earbuds, I wouldn't have thought that was weird. However, he legit panicked and told me it was weird, so I don't know? Help me, brothers. Is this objectively weird? Why did he panic? Should I be concerned about his apparent earbud hoarding? What could he possibly even use them for? I asked why he had them and he said "I don't know."

"The owner yelled at me? I went to a takeaway pizza place and as I was going in a seagull followed me into the place when I opened the door to look at it. When the seagull flew into the kitchen the manager burst out yelling at me saying I had done something wrong!! There were no signs. So I don’t think I did anything wrong. I didn’t get to order. Why would he yell at ME ??"

"Will the marine corps check my tattoo in detail? Long story short, I have this tattoo that I don't like. It's not going to be offensive by military standards, but it is--how shall I say this?--a little embarrassing. I once went to the place to get a tat on my back. I picked out a real beauty: an American eagle. Really awesome. Anyhow, I get it done and see it in the mirror afterwards. I notice there is some words in the circle surrounding the eagle. The words are small and I can't make it out because the mirror makes everything look reversed. The artist guy says it reads, 'All American Spirit.' Okay, cool; I didn't ask for lettering, but a nice bonus. Three weeks later, I am playing basketball with a bunch of guys. It's 4-on-4 at the park court. We do shirts & and skins. I am a skin. So this guy reads my tattoo as we're taking a break. He really busts out laughing. I can't figure out why is laughing at an eagle. My friend comes over and starts laughing too. I say, 'What's so funny?' They tell me what the tattoo says. Turns out--it doesn't say 'All American Spirit.' It actually says, 'I love to masturbate.' Can you believe it? Update: So I go home and still can't believe. My uncle is there, so I ask him to read it. He confirms that it says, 'I love to masturbate.' I still think it is some type of joke, so I ask my sister. She says the same thing. Update 2: I look in the mirror with a big magnifier. Sure enough--they are right. The guy really printed those words on my back! Update 3: Later, my uncle says, 'What a minute. Did you go to Ed's to have that done?' I say yeah, so what? My uncle tells me about the run-in he had with Ed a few months ago. Ed told my uncle that he would get him back one way or another. Update 4: Ed said, 'I don't know how, but I will get you. OR your nephew or one of your relatives!' My uncle confirms that Ed f-cked me over because of my uncle's dispute. Update 5: So, my uncle and me go down to Ed's Tattoo Parlor. There is a sign on the door that reads PERMANENTLY CLOSED. FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. We later learn Ed had a criminal warrant and fled to Mexico. Update 6: So, my question. Will the marines let me in with such a tattoo?"

45:46 - I'm getting married in a little over a month, and I recently made the grave mistake of mentioning to my soon-to-be father-in-law that I was kind of a magic nerd when I was a kid, and that I often said that I wanted to be a magician when I grew up. He said that I should put on a magic show for his birthday in a couple of months, and thinking that he was obviously joking, I said "Yeah, sure." Brothers, he was not joking. He kept bringing up how excited he is for this magic show. Out of pure social awkwardness, I kept going along with it. It's important to note I have no idea how to do magic.
