Welcome back to internet frenzy
Hey!
Shut up!
Jinx, you owe me a diet Pepsi
Alright, we're back for more
Last week was probably my favorite episode
I wish we could do it every week
It was so fun
Women can be shitty too
Well, sometimes
Not these ones
Well, it's a different tone than you guys took last week
Not sure which one's accurate
Little story recap
First, we had my story
Which was the high school game of truth or dare
The girl lays a kiss on the little brother
And he did not like it
That was sad
Poor little fella
He's in therapy right now
Probably
So after that story was
Your story, the neglected housewife
Sneaks off with Jake at the family party
Jake you poo
Jake gives her the business
And we don't know if that was the right thing to do
Or not
Who's that?
That was Witt's
Story three was
The guy that uncovered that his fiance was a bully
To his ex-girlfriend
Fat shaming
And he was mad that she was
Or she was mad that she wasn't in her
Social circle
She was poor
When people look down on poor people
Me too
Poor people, honestly
We
Poor
Poor people
We are poor
Poor people
Let's unite
Let's have a party
We're changing the book
To poor people
The poor people pod
Don't bully us
Someone's for sure going to take that
Trademark, patent
You were sad
The last story was
Little foots over there
The guy finds out that his wife is cheating on him
While he's overseas serving our country
That's messed up
Poor soldier
I forgot
She was expecting to have a kid
70% of the time
And homeboys just hanging out at the house
While
The soldiers fighting for our freedom
Which one was the fake?
What do you guys think?
Whitney
I think I guessed last week
I guessed right
Who was it?
Who I guessed
Was it Whitney that I guessed?
I doubt it
Wow, am I getting all of you guys voting for me?
I did initially vote Joe
Okay
But
You
Okay, well you guys are going to be super
Disappointed to know that I
Wait
No, go ahead
I was the fake and you should be
So proud of yourselves
Nice work
That was great
I didn't trick any of y'all
I'm really really looking forward to this week
What is this week all about Joe?
This week we dive
Into game changers
Tales from the youth sports
Field slash court
Game changers baby
Game changers and so it's youth sports
Youth sports
Crazy stories
Bad and ugly
Everything
That's what our therapist says to us
Yeah, that's true
It sounded a little bit better when you said it
No offense
Here we go, we're going to have Joe start off for us
Because he is the go and he loves sports
You guys sit back
I want to start us off
Wow
Don't take in charge
Aren't you just
Let me in here
Today I effed up by making a bad call at first
Which led to a massive fight
Cops and ambulances and the tournament getting cancelled
Holy crap
Just a little fiasco
At the sports complex
Oh my gosh
Alright
Like most of the TIFUs
I effed up
This didn't happen today
I was watching some baseball and got a flashback to something that happened to me many many years ago
I quit playing baseball
But I wanted to be around the game on some level
So I thought I would give umpiring a shot
It's easy right
The league has me do some initial paperwork
Watch some film, do a quiz, interview, etc
No big deal
I do well and the head umpire tells me that there's going to be a t-ball game
And I should show up there
To start my hands on training
It's slow, nobody keeps score
I screw it up, it doesn't matter at all
I show up a bit earlier
And there's an all-star tournament
13-14 year old kids going on
So I decided to watch a game to kill some time
The umpire there is all by himself
And he's stalling a bit to see if his other umpires will show up
Parents are going crazy
Umpire then spots me in my brand new uniform
Calls me over and begs me to help him
I explain that I really don't know what I'm doing since I'm training
And he tells me it's okay
Since his other umpire should be showing up
And he only wants another set of eyes mostly
Like, eff it, YOLO, I got this
Things go pretty smoothly
Nothing crazy happens for a while
Then we get to the last inning
One of the players lays down a beautiful bunt
The catcher throws it to first and just barely gets the runner out
Easy enough call
The coach of the team that got called out
Goes up to the umpire screaming
That the first baseman's foot wasn't touching the bag
So he should be safe
Other parents from that team start yelling at us
Because they also agree with the coach
The other teams parents start arguing with those parents
The umpire then decides to throw out that coach
That's when shit went down
The coach goes crazy
Leaves the field says something to one of the parents
That parent doesn't like it
So he punches the coach in the mouth and knocks him the eff out
Other parents notice
And now everyone wants to throw punches
Basically it got into full on riot mode
Cops got called out
Umpire calls the game off
The tournament got cancelled
Ambulances take a few people to the hospital
I think four people got arrested
It gets on the local news
Even got a few mentions in the national news
If I'm not mistaken
I found a link to an old newspaper article
Talking about the incident
I would show you guys but it has my name
And I really don't feel like connecting my name to my account
He has a funny name
His account name is Ian is my cousin
So search it up if you want to see this story
Did I make the right call
I'm pretty sure that I did
But the reality is that in my inexperience
I wasn't in the best position to see all the moving parts
This little incident led to a lot of changes
Games wouldn't start without a full crew
Had more in depth training before allowing anybody to be an umpire
Had more security slash cops on hand
When there was a tournament
Had a few umpires on standby, etc
I never umped another game again
Oh
He got fired?
Or he was like no
Trauma
Said I'm good I will do anything else but that
Here's my uniform
Really? Wow
That's tough
Yeah that's really sad
How old was he again?
He doesn't say his age because it's a today I effed up
He said it was many moons ago
It sounds like he was like
He had just finished playing baseball
He's probably like a college age kid
Because he maybe played in high school
And
When he was done playing he wanted to be around the game still
That's why he decided to be an ump
This was literally the first time
That he was supposed to go out for training
He's waiting for his little t-ball match to start
He's in like fresh from like
Played against sports the umpire uniform
It's like brand new
He's just sitting on the side
He gets roped into like a super competitive game
Oh my gosh
That's like the stuff of nightmares
I would have said no
Sorry I know
I don't know well enough what I'm doing
I watch sports like religiously
And I know when somebody's out
All that but just like the nerves of it
Oh that's hard
I feel like I would like I'm picturing me at a volleyball tournament
And like them
Like he basically was kind of forced into it
Like no no no it's fine like it's I just need an extra set of eyes
It's no big deal like he totally downplayed it
And said the other umps coming like in no time
So to me if I'm hearing that
It's kind of like uh okay
Like I'll go ref for a second
Like in volleyball and then that happening
I would be
Traumatized
He just teeth getting knocked out
People leaving on a stretcher
Did anyone try to talk to
Tack him? No
Nope so I did yeah that part
I didn't totally understand because he
Right
It seemed like the other umpire like he made the call
But the other umpire was the one that was like
In the thick of it with the parents
At least he stuck up for him then
Because it sounds like he probably stepped in to be like
No
Yeah no like his foot was on the bag
He's out
That's like that's a cutthroat
13 to 14 year old like all star baseball
Did you play?
I was watching at that age
Yeah it's intense
You make me nervous
When our daughter is playing sports
You're gonna be the parent that's like
Dude that was in are you stupid
Yeah I'm gonna be intense
Like ump
I'm just super competitive and fiery
But
I don't think I'm gonna knock anyone out
That never said never
I'll hold you back
Don't worry he won't let you
Unless it's me unless you swing on me then
You're gonna kick me out
You're gonna be like Whitney go sit in the car
You need a cool
I'm nervous
I think the best option
For my daughter to play
Is golf
I literally want her to just be a baseball fan
And just watch baseball with me
No she needs to play a sport
She needs to play golf
And by the asshole for ejecting a coach
During a youth baseball game and calling the cops on him
I 32M
Have been umpiring youth baseball for about 5 years
I do it because I love the game
And enjoy being part of the kids experience
But this weekend was something else
I was working at 10 under game
Kids aged 9 to 10
And everything was going smoothly
The kids were having fun parents were cheering
And the game was close
Then in the third inning
On the next half
They were happy not to mention
The kid was
players, slides into second, and the kid is obviously safe.
No question.
But he limps a little when he stands up, and suddenly Steve starts to lose his mind, screaming
that the second baseman blocked the bag and made a dirty play.
I didn't see any obstruction.
He was like hahyes
The second baseman had his foot on the side of the base, but it was a clean play.
K Mansour
I calmly explained what I saw, but Steve wasn't having it.
He starts yelling about how I don't know the rules and how I'm putting these kids in
danger.
It's 10-year-olds playing baseball.
I tried to stay calm and asked him to drop it, saying we could talk after the inning,
but he kept screaming in my face, accusing me of bias his team was losing.
I finally hit my limit.
I told him that he had to calm down or he was gone.
Of course, that made him explode even more, calling me every name in the book.
So I ejected him, told him to leave the field or the game wouldn't continue.
Steve in front of the kids and parents storms off, but not before knocking over a row of
water bottles and continuing to scream about how I was ruining the game.
No, I already acted it out.
Dude, we are on one right now.
We are the same.
I thought that was the end of it, but nope.
After the game, I'm walking to my car when I see Steve waiting for me in the parking
lot.
He comes charging over, still yelling.
He's going off about how I embarrassed him and have no idea what I've done.
He even gets up in my face again, threatening me, saying he was going to knock me out.
This isn't a crowded parking lot, mind you, with parents and kids still around.
At this point, I tell him he needs to back the freak up, but he just keeps escalating.
So I get in my car and try to leave, but Steve, grown ass Steve, starts following me in his
car.
I'm driving through this suburban neighborhood and this guy is tailing me, flashing his lights
and honking.
I swear it was like something out of a movie.
I didn't want to drive home with him following me, so I called the cops and then pulled into
a gas station expecting to go toes with this psycho.
Thankfully, the cops arrived before a physical altercation began.
The cops tried to talk him up the ledge for quite some time and then finally told him
to leave or he would face charges.
Now, here's the kicker.
Some of the parents who saw part of this, by the way, are saying I overreacted by calling
the cops and that Steve's just really passionate about baseball.
They're acting like I escalated things too far and I could have just let him blow off
steam.
I'm hesitant for next weekend knowing I will be seeing those parents and coach Steve again
while umpiring.
Am I the asshole for ejecting the coach and calling the cops and him after he tried following
me home?
Or should I have let him cool down in his own time?
Definitely not the asshole, but also where my mind goes because Steve sounds like a pure
psychopath.
This dude must have like a serious attitude while he's umpiring.
You know what I mean?
Like there's those times where like the umpire is like a little too, a little too like bow
his business, a little too cocky and it's kind of like, hey, how about y'all shut up?
Because I'm the ump.
I'm like, I'm the authority here.
I don't know because I don't know why Steve would be losing his marvel so freaking bad
if the guy's just like, hey, um, you're losing it for no reason.
You're out of here.
Yeah.
I mean, that's the parents, a lot of them were like on Steve's side, so it could have
been like he was making bias calls over and over and over again during the game and being
a jerk throughout the whole game.
Yeah, maybe he's just a bad ump too.
Or that guy is just looking to be mad at somebody that day.
Yeah, maybe not.
Following him for that long.
Yeah.
Yeah, I guess that's true.
I mean, he definitely took it overboard.
I mean, I've been in road rage incidents where like a big Tongan guy wants to follow
me home, but that's a little different.
Yeah, tell them what happened.
I mean, I'm not going to get into it too much, but like little road rage incident driving
with the family and our newborn.
She's a couple of months old and this is bad.
He cuts me off.
I'm upset.
I go up next to him.
I look over and he is huge.
Like he's Pauly and he doesn't have a neck.
I rolled my window down to tell him that he needs to learn how to drive.
And as soon as he rolled his down, cause they're like limo tent, this big lifted truck, he
looks at me and he's like, you want some of this?
You want some of this?
Get out.
Oh no.
I was like, window up, accelerator on.
I'll see you later, sir.
Just learn how to drive.
Don't eat me.
You want some of this?
Like, no, I don't.
And I would like to edit that story.
The dude actually got out of his car and I was yelling, this Joe rolled my window down
cause he was on my side and I was yelling, we have a newborn.
We have a newborn.
And he got out of his car.
He stepped halfway out and I was like, oh, this guy's going to kill Joe.
And you literally were like, don't eat me.
And you rolled my window up and you drove off.
Did I say something about learn how to drive or am I imagining that?
I'm sure you did, babe.
You definitely stuck up for yourself.
Oh no, I was out of there, bro.
No, that guy was huge.
It was the biggest dude I've ever seen.
I was like, oh my gosh.
He was huge and he wanted to fight.
Like he was like, he's like the guy that he's so big he can kill anyone.
So he'll take on anything, any chance he can get to kill someone, he's taking it.
And listen, I could hold my own, but I ain't no dummy.
Okay.
This guy was huge and I wasn't trying to die in front of my wife.
So.
By his pinky.
Oh, chill to disrespect.
I mean, I'm like, no, we have a newborn.
What about the baby?
I just kept saying that sir, we have a newborn in the car.
We have a newborn.
He just completely ignored me.
He did not give a crap.
Baby on board, baby on board.
Like, yeah, the next step would have been for me to get out of the car, not for him to
just climb in and go for a ride with us.
Right.
He'd get stuck before he could get in.
In the Jetta, the dude had no shot.
He had no shot.
The dude was like, freaking Bowser from Mario.
That's what he looked like.
How should leagues handle coaches or parents who escalate situations like this during youth
sports?
Should there be stricter consequences for their behavior?
I say throw them out.
Yeah.
I'm just like a zero tolerance because I know me as a parent, when I go to my kids'
games, I'm like, yeah, I'm going to care and stuff, but I'm also going to be like, I understand
that this is youth sports.
These are kids.
Yeah.
Like, have you guys seen like Bodie play basketball?
I've seen him play soccer.
Oh, yeah, you were on your mission.
So, yeah, like seeing those kids, some of the parents will chatter a little bit to the
umps or like to the refs, it's not that serious.
Right.
Yeah, but.
Kick them out.
But when you're older, these are nine and 10 year olds.
These aren't six year olds like Bodie.
It does get a little more.
Hey, he's eight.
Oh, sorry, buddy.
Especially with baseball.
I feel like baseball is so competitive though.
And I feel like umps make way more mistakes than any other ref in sports.
They have nothing to help them.
Exactly.
Yeah.
But and I'm not talking about like professionally, I'm talking about like kids.
Yeah.
So like this, like mine, the 13, 14 year olds, that is highly competitive.
So you kind of have to allow for some passion to be there.
Yeah.
But I would say when it crosses any physical line or like name calling and salting, that's
they're out.
But do you think ejecting someone is either going to calm the situation or just escalate
it to even more of an intense situation?
But the thing is, that person's going to be mad the whole time either way.
So it really doesn't matter.
So it's either having them there and then being pissed or them being gone in their
pissed.
And I think.
And then following you in the parking lot.
I mean, yeah, I guess, but.
Only coach Steve does that.
Only coach Steve is psycho.
Seriously.
But I don't know.
I think, I mean, well, like they in that, in Joe's story, they like made sure they had
extra like had like some cops like on hand or like if like, if like something like came
to that.
So that might be smart, I guess.
Yeah.
For a tournament.
Yeah.
That's a good.
Yeah.
I was thinking too, because when I read this story, I was like, I wonder if coach Steve
is more mad about like defending his player that was hurt because second base was like
probably blocking or if he was just more mad because their team was losing.
Yeah.
Well, he's probably probably both combination of both.
Maybe probably both.
Because you know that there's dudes out there that just like they wear it as it's their
own.
Like it's on them.
If their team sucks.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
Well, that is my story.
I literally couldn't believe it after I read this.
I was like, that is crazy.
I've coached volleyball and I can't imagine like a pissed off parent following me in the
parking lot and like following me literally to trying to like follow me home or until
they could like get me to stop.
Right.
Having to call the cops on them.
That's traumatizing.
You better call me if that happens and I'll roll up there as long as it's not a big tonguing
guy.
As long as it is not that man.
Yeah.
My sister-in-law is pissed at my husband and I because we didn't attend any of my nephew's
soccer games.
My 27 female sister-in-law, me 32 female is angry that we did not attend any of her son's
seven male soccer games this summer.
She is threatening to not let us see her children in the future because we apparently
did not support her kids.
Yikes.
At the beginning of June, my sister-in-law sent my husband and I our nephew's soccer
schedule.
We never once said we were coming to any of the games.
They were on Tuesday and Thursdays at 6pm in June and July.
We lived 45 minutes from the soccer field and worked 9-5s.
Sometimes we both work a little later if needed.
Technically, we could have likely made it to at least one game but quite honestly we
did not want to go.
We were intentionally child-free at this point in our lives and we use time after work to
cook dinner, exercise, walk the dog, do chores, pursue hobbies, etc.
I think this is where we may be assholes because we definitely could have made time for at
least one game.
We generally see our nieces and nephews once a month and we are very engaged when we are
with them.
We care about them greatly but simply do not want to attend sporting events on weeknights.
My question is this, what are the expectations for aunts and uncles attending their niece
and nephew's sporting events?
For me personally, my aunts and uncles never attended sporting events for me as a child.
I would never expect anyone to come to my kids' sporting events.
Apparently my sister-in-law and brother-in-law had unspoken expectations that we had to attend
at least one of their kids' soccer games.
Am I the asshole for not attending one of my nephew's soccer games this summer?
This is a good one.
Maybe I'm not the right person to ask because I love going to my niece's and nephew's stuff
especially before I had a kid.
We were going to so many...
It was like a full-time job.
We were going all the time.
Like literally all the time.
Guys, sorry.
Let's toot our own horn here.
We left our house at 3.30 a.m. to get to Boston's basketball game that started at 8 a.m. in
Sholo.
But we still left that early just to go to the game.
That's dedication.
That's great.
We have the Queen Creek all the time for Paisley or Bodys.
It's true.
Yeah, we've done a lot.
We were the best and uncle ever.
So here's the thing about expectations.
Don't have them.
It's great to go.
If you can go, go.
Go support your family.
Go support your niece and nephew.
Whatever.
It's great.
When you as the parent expect people to change their lives for your children, you got it
wrong.
Period.
Well, and like, and it was never communicated.
Like they were, you know, like, I mean, I guess the same thing is what you're saying,
but they had these unspoken expectations for them that like nobody knew about.
And then they were like super mad about it.
And I think it's a little excessive to like refuse them seeing the nieces and nephews.
Like after this, that's crazy.
And given the circumstances to like, they work nine to five, they're 45 minutes from
the soccer field and the game start at six.
So it's like, and they stay late or sometimes they're definitely not the assholes.
No.
One comment said, a big match like a playoff or a cup final I'd go otherwise not parents
are expected to show up to their kids games, not the entire extended family.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Well, and I think it's funny that she like mentions, but quite honestly, we do not want
to go.
We're intentionally child free at this point in our lives.
I'm like, period.
Yeah.
We don't want to be running around to all the things because we obviously don't have
kids right now for a reason.
We want to enjoy our freedom, I guess.
But also like, I'm sorry, she's kind of a crappy aunt.
I mean, in that part, but I got to give her the better for the doubt.
Maybe she does do like fail me dinners and she plays with them.
And like, maybe she is involved in the nieces and nephews life.
You want to get into a whole, a whole other argument.
Because people, what if somebody doesn't want to have kids and their sibling does have kids?
Like, if they truly don't want kids, they don't care, then like, does that make them
a bad person?
No.
If so, she's saying, we're intentionally kid free.
I don't want to deal with your kid shit.
Like, I don't, I don't care about the game.
I don't care about the birthday.
Like, I don't want kids.
I don't care about kids.
I'm just an adult in my adult life.
And I'm just want to eat dinner and watch the office and go to sleep.
If that's like my only sibling and they aren't really, they have zero desire to like have
a relationship with my kids.
I honestly, that would hurt.
That would hurt me.
That's a weird thing because I can't relate not wanting kids.
Right.
But like, there's people out there that don't want kids.
So what is their normal aunt, uncle, relationship supposed to look like?
Like, if they don't want them themselves, do they like, are they supposed to have an
interest in the kids that are in their family?
Are they allowed to be like, hands off?
I'm not a kid person.
Well, and she even says that they see their nieces and nephews once a month, usually,
and they're very engaged when they are with them.
We care about them greatly, but simply do not want to attend sporting events on weeknights.
Like that's just it.
Like, they love them.
They are engaged with them when they do see them, but they just don't want to drive 45
minutes to a soccer game on a weeknight.
No, that's totally fair.
Yeah, that's definitely valid.
Am I the asshole for telling my son baseball is a waste of time?
Me, 37N, and my son, 6M, started showing interest in playing baseball.
So I decided to sign him up for this little league.
Despite his genuine enthusiasm, my son struggled to excel in the sport.
His skills didn't match his enthusiasm, and I found myself growing frustrated during the
practice sessions.
One day after another disappointing practice, I might have made a mistake.
I sat down with my son and expressed my doubts about whether baseball was the right activity
for him.
I was watching that maybe he should explore a different one, where he could both excel
and have fun.
To my surprise, my son's face fell.
He tearfully confessed that he loved baseball and he doesn't want to quit.
He begged me not to let him continue playing.
When my wife found out about this, she was angry.
She said that I did what I did with Shitty and said that I shouldn't expect a six-year-old
to be a pro athlete.
And then he says those were never the expectations I had for him.
Now she low key did leave me feeling like the worst father in the world.
I never meant to hurt my son or destroy his love slash passion for baseball.
Am I the asshole?
Yes, son.
Oh, that makes me so shy.
He's six.
He's gonna suck.
And this dude is literally just projecting his insecurity of him not being good enough
on his son.
F him, F what he did.
That was so shitty.
And he needs to literally have a grown-ass conversation with this kid again and tell
him that he is so sorry and that he was wrong and that he can do anything that he puts his
mind to.
Yes.
Oh, I'm so heated up.
At first I was like, F this dad.
What an A-hole.
Like I just did.
Like literally like what you just did.
But at the end of the story, something occurred to me.
Okay, oh.
You know us males, we can be stupid sometimes.
Like we can react in the moment and say something that is not smart.
So glad you're realizing this.
Yeah, so I'm owning it like I do every single day.
But really, I'm just like the way that he was like, sounding like he was actually really
sad towards the end and his wife made him feel like he was a shitty dad.
It's like, yeah, well, you kind of deserve that.
But then also if I put myself in his shoes, like if you didn't mean to hurt your kid's
feelings, you just kind of said something stupid.
I think you have a conversation with the kid.
I think there's power in being like, hey, what dad said, that wasn't very cool of me.
I hope you enjoy playing baseball and I'm going to take you to every practice.
Like I got you if you want to learn how to play this game.
Not for me because I suck at it.
Him probably.
Not me.
No, I totally agree with that.
And I think in his defense as well, he was like, to my surprise, my kid's face fell and
he said that he loved baseball.
So he probably had the impression like, oh, he sucks at it.
He probably hates doing this.
So he's kind of giving him an out.
He probably didn't know that his kid liked it so much, you know, and like that's why
he was so surprised.
So I definitely get where Joe's coming from.
Men are stupid.
And, and, you know, he probably didn't know fully that his kid like absolutely loved baseball
and like really wanted to do it.
The title makes this seem like he's definitely the asshole for telling my six year old that
baseball is a waste of time.
There's a comment.
This one's pretty funny.
He says, I think the best thing he could do at this stage is find his son a proper father
figure.
Oh my gosh.
That would hurt as the OP reading that comment.
And then there was another one that says, if he can step up to be that proper father figure,
that would be best if he can even salvage the relationship after being so horrible.
I love when there's a real, a real person on Reddit that's like, hey, maybe we don't
need to chop the guy's head off and like put him on a skewer.
Like maybe he can just learn to be a better dad.
