Smoke and Mirrors? pt.3: AITA

In this comedy podcast, Grant and Maia take us through another entertaining session, pondering over interesting questions, sharing funny airport experiences, and sprinkling in some epic relationship humor.

The two end a series about misdirection with a bunch of fun stories from Reddit that will have you rolling on the floor.

Key highlights

Funny airport experience: Grant shares an incredibly funny airport experience where he received special treatment by airport authorities as he landed in Denver and calls it the white bald man privilege. Further, he shares how he initially assumed that the treatment he received was experienced by everyone else until he realised how that was not true at all.

Charming Farmer's Market Banter: The hosts paint a vivid picture of a delightful visit to the farmer's market, and talk about the sheer humor in observing that everyone at the market seems to engage in the same conversation, making it a perfect spot for inconsequential gossip.

Relationship humor and detecting red flags: Grant provides some valuable dating advice and explains how using chopsticks can serve as a revealing litmus test. According to him, it is a subtle way to identify potential red flags and explore compatibility differences. Grant also suggests opting for an offbeat restaurant as this offers yet another dimension to this test, showcasing your date's adaptability to unique menus, and then eventually helping you understand if they're open to new experiences or inclined to complain. These little things may seem insignificant but can really tell you a lot about people.

Key Quotes

"No wonder this company's struggling. I have, have you worked the same kind of hours I have? How are you here, literally? How did you get that shirt on your body and then your body into that car and that car to here? How, how are you this old and this dumb?"
"Teacher listeners, sorry if this is trauma, but two of our newest employees are former students of mine, which is actually so sweet, and I came up to them today after our staff meeting and I said, 'Hey, I just want you to know, I'm really proud of you for not quitting.'"
"You're doing a great job. And then a third teacher heard me from one row back and goes, 'Mr. Thomas told me that last year,' and so they were like, 'Wait, people quit from this?' And I go, 'Yeah, because you have to have a specific relationship with 153 students.'"
"It's the most inconsequential gossip of your entire life."
"He was like gravity. Welcome to physics. No."
“It is just because of the amount of social privilege being a bald white man gets me.”
