to introduce them. But first, let's introduce
me. I'm Whitney. And I'm Joe. And this is Shannon.
And I'm Teresa. And these women right here are
very special to me. This is my mom, Teresa. And
me. Oh, and Joe. This is my mom Teresa and then
my aunt Shannon and she's basically my second
mom and my sister. Yes sisters Yep this they

too represent, baby. Let's go. So how do you
guys feel? There's going to be people in 181
different cities in the world that are going
to hear that. Oh, good. Crazy. To find out where
our relatives are. That's right. Maybe they'll
come in. I saw today that 23andMe filed for bankruptcy.
So no way. All that genetic testing. Oh, wow.
Were they wrong with all of them? Yeah, they
were wrong. They're just saying you're related.
That's all fake. None of it was real. She's not
my mom. And she's not my aunt. We waited till
tonight to tell you. Guys, I thought when I was
younger that Hilary Duff's So you know the movie,
Lizzie McGuire movie, right? Yes. You know Hilary
Duff's clone? The Italian girl? Yes. That's Isabella.
Isabella. I thought she was my real mom because
we both could roll our R's. That's so embarrassing.
That is kind of embarrassing. No, let me down.
Thanks, mom. So anyways, if it's not her, I'll
take you, that's fine. Well, that's why I thought
you were saying, because everybody would always
say, you look like your aunt. Well, of course
I do. Gorgeous. Just because you guys all are
twins. And we act the same. Every single Goodman,
you can just tell. You can just see it. That's
so true. I know I always get that. I look like
my mom. And I say, thank you. Yeah. So I walk
away. Thank you. So thank you, mom. You birthed
me. I didn't birth you. No, really. Thank you.
Well, OK. Before we jump into this week's episode
and tell you guys what the theme is, I can't
wait to tell you guys. It's so good. We got to
talk about last week's episode. I know you're
dying to know which one was a fake. I know it.
I know you've been texting all week. We'll finally
tell you. Yes, I can sleep tonight. that's hilarious
is it well i was i was just gonna that's hilarious
hilarious i just was gonna say that they wouldn't
know yet but it's all oh yeah because it's not
released yet but it's okay oh yeah well it's
fine you guys would have been asking us if we
weren't about to tell you that's true the the
theme for last week we had dallas in the well
on it was the lies our parents told us You're
mine. We had so many stories. It's like which
way do we go with that one? Do we start with
this story? That's like pretty fitting. But there's
a couple of stories about there's some similar
ones about like a mom lying to their kid about
their dad after they were separated and just
there's a couple that were very similar. Those
were real. they were real listeners are gonna
know the ones that have heard it they're gonna
know what we're talking about noelle and dallas
guess wrong as far as which one was the fake
i'm gonna see if you guys guess right tonight
can't wait yeah at the end you'll get the chance
we get to or okay yep but uh the fake from last
week was my story it was am i the butthole we
promise no vulgarity with these two lovely ladies
yeah they asked for no cussing and we will respect
that So butthole is appropriate. Maybe not butthole,
say brown star. I'd rather butthole. Yeah, me
too. Oh my gosh. But A -I -T -A for not telling
my kids about a massive inheritance for 15 years.
That one was fake. You guys all know. It's a
good one. It's a good story. It's fun. I was
shook when I heard it. It'll all make sense when
you listen to the next one. Dallas and Noel got
it wrong, so. Did they lose something? Yeah,
they lost a hundred dollars. Just dignity. Do
we get a hundred bucks? If you get it right.
Okay. Just self -esteem. Just, yeah. This actually
is the prize being here. That's right. Yes. With
your peanut M &Ms. With my peanut M &Ms and melting
in my hand. Yeah, I brought mine in my car. That's
not true. They do melt in your hands. That is
the fake. This is the fake. Yeah, M &Ms, you
need to be better. All right. You guys ready
to find out the theme for this week? Yes. So
the theme for this week is drum roll please.
Middle aged mama drama. That's so appropriate.
Oh my gosh. I don't know anything about that.
Not going to be able to relate one bit. Middle
aged mama drama. That's it. Good. Good job. You
guys been good. Good. Good. Love it. You're gonna
need air five air five there. That's that's your
real one. a hole. If I play the song that my
mom chose for her funeral, knowing that it might
offend some attendees. Oh, yes. Yes. Like that's
a that's a yeah. OK. I think you guys are going
to like this one. OK. My mom recently passed
away and our family, primarily me, are making
arrangements for the upcoming funeral. My mom
always had a really excellent sense of humor
and before she passed she told not only me but
all of the palliative care staff at the hospital
that the song she wanted to play to her funeral
was Ding Dong the Witch is Dead from the Wizard
of Oz. That would totally be something I would
do. I could see that. I could see that. I managed
to at least talk her out of the soundtrack version
sung by the Munchkins and got her to agree to
the classier jazz version by Ella Fitzgerald.
So it's a little better a little better. Oh my
god Says now I agree with my mom that this would
be a really funny thing to play at a funeral
and would showcase her sense of humor to a tee
However, I'm also very aware that not everyone
that's going to come to the funeral is gonna
take the joke in the same spirit and I think
some of the more religious friends and family
members might be extra upset because there's
a certain repeated line that implies that she's
going to hell Plus we're explicitly having a
non -religious service and one of said family
members has already expressed disappointment
with that. So on the one hand I think it's my
mom's funeral and I should respect her wishes
above anyone else's opinions, but on the other
hand I realize that funerals are for the living
and it's pretty disrespectful to do something
that's going to upset those actually in attendance
when obviously my mom isn't going to know one
way or the other. So would I be the angle if
I still play the song my mom picked? If It Matters,
my alternate choice would be Landslide by Fleetwood
Mac, which was her favorite song and what we
all listened to in the hospital together after
she passed. Can I say something? 100%. I totally
think that that's okay. If that's what mom wanted,
then give it to her. I would totally do it. I
love it. And better, they should play it while
they're walking her casket. Yes. I love it. We
were just talking about this the other day, actually,
with my kids. Really? Because I tell them what
I want for my funeral all the time. What do you
want? Why? We're so far away. I definitely want
music. Well, and they're like, Mom, stop talking
like that. But I love him. Same. But one of them,
I think it might have been Uncle Zeke that was
like, ding dong, the witch is here. No, he's
the one that wrote the story. He wrote the story.
That's what I'm thinking. Oh my gosh, Zeke's
on credit. I think this is true. Can't rule it
out. It's me. It's my story. Well, I don't think
it's inappropriate and disrespectful, but on
the other hand, she did want the song, but I
still think that's my opinion. It feels wrong.
Like what do you do if people don't get the joke?
People are going to be sitting there like. What
right like is this for real you guys are disrespecting
your mother like this. Are you kidding? Yeah,
I While the viewing is going on, you know Oh,
just circles around and dancing. That would be
funny. Yeah. But so you say no funeral. No, I
wouldn't do it. I would just tell her I'm sorry.
We're not doing. I would. I don't know how I
would feel about it. I know it'd be very difficult.
I'm one who I want to honor the laughs, right?
Like I want to have laughs, but I would be very
concerned about all the people that like would
be in attendance. It would not appear that wouldn't
get it. Yeah. Because you know, I mean, I feel
like everybody that's going to be there knows
the person that passed on. That's true. And they're
going to know like their sense of humor. Yeah.
So well, then do it at the cemetery. Oh, is that
even worse? Do it. Grave side. You know what?
That's something our family would totally do
at the grave side. But why are you there? Yeah,
there we go. There might be other. opportunities
there you could fit it in but I see both sides
because I was kind of going back and forth between
it but really I think I would say no only because
I wouldn't want to offend or piss anyone off
I'm the only one that's willing to piss people
off Oh, because you didn't do it. Oh, true. Yes.
What if that was in your nightmares every night?
Ding dong. Which is that? Ding dong, the witch
is dead. Yeah. Wow, you guys harmonized that.
That was crazy. It's been real long. Yep. Oh
my gosh. Can you harmonize with me? No, because
I was thinking about this. She was leading the
music. I'm the only one saying play the song.
The story is about her. She's really. Yeah. Well,
when you so. So just telling you all now, what
do you want my time? Yeah. What do you what the
number one thing? No. What's the real song? What's
the real song? I don't even know. Like just one.
I just want spine. OK. So my kids do videos of
me all the time doing crazy things. And so I
want them to compile that and play it. I'll do
that for you. Like it's going to be funny. will
definitely have laughs. And if they do, that's
totally you. If they do, that will be fully you.
And if they play Ding Dong the Witch is Dead,
then that's great. I don't think they will. I
don't think they will. I doubt it. I mean, Zeke
might listen to it on the way to the funeral.
Yeah. In the limo ride. Yeah. They might play
like Lollipop Ken. Like Wizard of Oz. Is that
where we're going? Yes. That's hilarious. Well,
I'll tell you what I want for my funeral. Yeah.
I want lots and lots and lots of flowers. I love
flowers. I want it beautiful, whimsical. All
the flowers. And I mean all. All. Like 40 grand
worth of flowers, guys. I love all variety of
flowers. I want really pretty flowers. That's
all I want. And then this is what I want. I hope
I don't die before you, Mom, because that would
be so sad. But this is what I want. Are you crying?
Mons, are you okay? I'm fine. What I want is
the people that I was closest to, I want them
to be able to take those flowers home after the
funeral. Only the ones close to me. If they're
fake, don't take them home. But you have $40
,000 with the flowers. Yeah, I think everybody
gets to take some flowers home. In fact, please
do. Joslyn, I'm not taking them all home. I'll
be gone way before her. Don't worry about it.
Oh, I hope not. Our kids are going to have to
worry about that, not me. That's so sad. I love
it when people can take flowers home. Yeah, that's
really it. The family members. Yeah, true. What
do you want for your funeral? Like the number
one thing. What song can we play? You know, I
tried not to think about that. Really? Every
week, honestly. I think about it all the time.
It's wonderful that you think about it. But now
I have a plan that. No, that's good. I mean,
you still have a good like 40, 50 years by my
math. Maybe 20. Maybe you're in my real world
20. Maybe we are morbid. Thinking about our funeral.
Shalemian flowers. And I want videos of myself.
Yeah, I want that too. I mean, that's yeah, that's
going to be a party in 50 years. Was there an
update or anything? Of course there was. All
right. So there is an update. Oh, that means
there's more. You just saved the good stuff for
us. That's right. So it says, Hi, everyone. I
figured I'd come back and give you an update
on how things turned out with my mom's memorial
service. I'm really grateful for everyone who
convinced me that playing the song she chose
was the right option. So yes, I decided to go
ahead and play the Ella Fitzgerald version of
Ding Dong the Witch is Dead after incorporating
the story behind it into my eulogy, which a few
people suggested as the best way to bridge the
gap between a serious occasion and a silly song.
That was genius. What did we think about that,
guys? I did, but I just didn't share that. Just
the brilliance of it's glowing. We poured a toast
for everyone first and I told them we would raise
a glass during the song and then introduced it
like this. I'm sure you all know my mother had
a wicked sense of humor. And if you know where
I'm going with this, you know why I said it that
way. For as long as I can remember, she told
me and everybody else that she wanted a certain
song played at her funeral because she wanted
everyone to laugh, not cry. And because she knew
she wouldn't have to deal with it. if anybody
didn't get the joke, but I think you'll all get
it. And despite the circumstances, I hope this
will be another happy memory that we all associate
with my mom. And I played the song and people
immediately started smiling and chuckling when
they caught on to what it was. The couple of
people I worried about not finding it funny seemed
to take it well enough. They weren't giggling
like everyone else, but I think they were accepting
of the song being what my mom wanted. And afterwards,
a few people told me the song was perfect and
that they could totally see my mom requesting
that. All in all, it was a very nice celebration
of life. And I'm happy with the way things turned
out. Yeah, that's good. See, we're OK. You know,
I knew it. You know. Yeah. You felt it. I felt
it. You know, funeral. I lived it. I do know
funerals. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. Me too.
And I hate them. Yeah, I hate funerals. That's
why I want mine to be a party. That's 50 years.
I want mine to be depressing. I like how he did
that. That was a good update. You want yours
to be depressing? Yeah. Like you, you people
better be mourning. Yeah. I want to see you all
just on the floor. They pay people for that.
Oh, let's do that. Well, I need to go first before
you go. Yeah, you wouldn't. I can't have my kids
go first. You won't survive. I can. Yeah, let's
pray that doesn't happen. But the flowers. Yeah,
I think I could just picture it now. Beautiful
lavender, soft blue. All colors. Okay. Yeah,
I like all colors, like kind of my wedding colors.
So that's kind of ironic, but I do want that.
It fits perfect. Okay, good. Joe, what would
you like? Oh, yeah. Yeah, we need a gift to you.
Poor guy, the only guy here. Oh, guys, I'm just
a moderator. I'm just like, I'm just here to
enjoy. Making sure we keep it clean. That's it.
That's it. Don't get us canceled. No, I don't
know I've honestly kind of like Teresa I've not
thought about my funeral at all at all At all.
Well, I always struggle with who I'm gonna have
speak for me. Like I will I get I'm picking let's
speak and do it now i know so i don't really
think about it do you have yours written down
i don't want to speak her i just want all music

of food. Sing. Brayden will sing too. Yes. Play

dance. Yes. What did you just say? I mean, Nate.
That might bring me back. That dude, that dude
can move. Like hold on a second. It was way one
second. I'm not done yet. In all reality though,
that dude can dance. Yeah, he can dance. I don't
know about belly dancing, but yeah, he can dance.
It's all the same. He puts his hips into it.
He probably could, I'm not kidding. Lala, he's
a good dancer. Your kids can dance too. My kids
can dance. Yes, they can. Oh, I can twerk. My
mom's never seen someone twerk faster than me.
I've never seen anybody. That's because you set
a land speed record. Is she really? Is it twerk
or twerk? Twerk, twerk, twerk. But are you really
doing that or are you just like, no, you're twerking.
It's like, OK. Yo, that's not. Okay, y 'all,
I need to get this off my chest. I, 47 female,
might have ruined a friendship, a block party,
and possibly my daughter's senior year because
I didn't know how to use Facebook correctly.
So I live in a neighborhood with those very involved
moms, you know, the type color -coded calendars,
theme snacks for soccer, group chats for everything.
I don't usually get involved, but this year I
volunteered to help with the big senior send
-off party because my youngest is graduating
and I figured, why not? Anyway, a group has a
Facebook planning page where we coordinate everything.
I was trying to post a flyer I made for the party,
and I thought I was sharing it with just our
little group. Turns out, I posted it to the public
community group that has over 4 ,000 members.
Not a huge deal, right? Just a flyer. Except
the flyer had the address of the host's house,
the time, And this is where it gets bad. I put
on there it was a no parent zone and BYOB, which
is bring your own beverage. Yeah, bring your
own beer. Yeah. And then in parentheses, it says
teens bring your own blanket, which yeah, that's
what she was meaning to say. Which was supposed
to be a joke. It was a little inside joke from
the planning chat because one of the moms said
the kids were trying to sneak drinks in blanket.
I didn't think anyone would take it seriously,
but y 'all it blew up. People started commenting
like, why are you encouraging underage drinking?
Is this a party or a setup? And the worst, someone
reported it to the school board and the local
police. The mom whose house it was at called
me screaming. She said her house was getting
drive bys from nosy neighbors and even a local
news fan showed up when her kid got home from
track practice. Her husband is livid and says
the party's canceled, no one is allowed over
and he might press charges if anything happens
on their property. My daughter is mortified.
She's saying everyone's talking about it and
calling it Linda's lit bash and someone even
made a fake event page inviting the whole school.
I deleted the original post within an hour, but
screenshots are everywhere. Becky blocked me
and Becky's the one that was the house. That's
her house. Yes, Becky. So she said, Becky blocked
me on everything. I think I've been silently
kicked out of the planning committee. I feel
sick. This was supposed to be fun. Am I the butthole?
It was a mistake. It was a mistake. She's not
a butthole. Yell like she's a butthole. You just
need to be very careful about what she does.
Yeah. Unless she did it on purpose and is just
saying that she did she do it on purpose to try
to be funny? If she did, she did it wrong. Yeah,
she did. Totally. I did do it on purpose because
of the funny and how she was talking at the beginning,
like kind of saying these color coded moms. True.
She's kind of low key a hater. Yeah. Oh, that
is horrible. Well, I don't. Me and those moms
don't get along either. So I agree with her on
that. So that fired on her, didn't it? There's
an update. I am the color coded mom. Yes. I take
back what I said. Just kidding. I'm not anymore.
You don't even. You're organized though. You're
very organized. I used to be, but not anymore.
Okay, here's a question. On the organization
front, Miss, I've been trying to get you to just
use the timing on our calendar and you won't.
She puts the anything we have, she puts it on
all day. So like, if she has a photo shoot, she
says photo shoot five to seven, but it's at the
top of the calendar when you go into it. Yeah,
because I want to be able to see it right when
I click on it. I don't want to look. I have to
scroll down. So is that like on my phone? It's
it's yeah, I would say it's it's not opposite
because it's. I think it is. I have two events
on one day. They're both going to be at the top
and they're both all day events. But I have the
time on there. I just like to have them at the
top. So as soon as I click it, it's there. And
you are my daughter, because that's what I do.
See? Are you Jo? My home is one color. My church
stuff is another color. Yes. My work is another
color. So when I look at my calendar. Like on
your phone. And then we have a family color.
So if it involves everybody. Oh, yeah. OK. Yeah,
you're color coded. Yeah, definitely. That helps
me. Like when I see it, I'm like, oh, I got,
you know, work to do. I have. Yeah, that's amazing.
I need to do that. It does work. So that's why
I'm like, I don't know. Yeah. I see shame on
her, but it was an accident. And but I don't
know, actually, now I don't know if it was an
accident or not. So let's say you're in this
little planning group. And one of the ladies
that rarely is in on this stuff with you guys
is like, OK, I'll join. And you're like, OK,
cool. This is like she joins and then she does
that. And you're like, you're out. Yeah. Like,
what do you do? No, it's like yeah, that's like
the kid that joins the group like the class project
doesn't do anything and then you like Basically
loses it for you at the end. Yeah, you get it
You get a failing grade because the kid messed
it up and he didn't help at all. That's like
totally same block Yeah, well, I just trying
to relate. I think she did on purpose you do
I do have you ever sent something? No, it's like
that's really bizarre Yes, and I've sent it somebody
else's text to that person And oh, boy, I really
had to fix it. But I don't know. It's that happens.
Like, obviously, it does happen. But I think
she was trying to be funny. Yeah. Here's the
update. OK. Yeah. Two days later. OK, wow. I
didn't expect this to blow up. A few things happened.
First, I got a very official looking email from
the principal saying the school is investigating
allegations of inappropriate event promotion.
I nearly passed out. My husband had talked me
off a ledge. Second, Becky's husband did call
the cops not to press charges, thank heavens,
but to file a complaint about potential trespassing
because there are rumors the kids still want
to show up at their house that day as a protest.
What? Kids are so stupid. So now there's basically
a teenage rebellion brewing and I'm the accidental
ringleader. But then someone printed out the
flyer and taped it to my garage door in glitter.
I don't even know what that means. Probably nothing.
They just wanted it to be pretty. Probably they
were running low on supplies. Yeah. It was one
of the color coded mocks. If you're going to
send a flyer out, at least make it pretty. Yeah.
I apologized again to Becky in a long message
she hasn't read. I offered to host a replacement
party, but no one's biting. I may just have to
sit this one out entirely. My daughter still
won't talk to me. Oh. That's so sad. I feel sorry
for her daughter. Oh yeah. How old is her daughter?
That's her senior year. Yeah, this is like the
last hurrah, and that's why the mom was like,
okay, I'll do this. I do like that she offered
to host. Yeah. Like. So she didn't do it on purpose.
No, I don't believe so. I don't think she did.
Sounds like it. No. I think she was really trying
to do something for her daughter's senior year.
Yes. It was a total accident. That would be something
I would do. Like, I mean, wait, wait, hold up.
The BYOB, like, bring your own blanket. Like,
I totally would have, like, probably played on
the words, you know. What is that, an acronym?
Is that what that BYOB? Yeah, I would have. I
mean we do that we are we don't expect people
to bring beer to anything we do but we're always
like BYOB and then we'll put underneath it bring
your own like beverage or whatever you know a
hundred percent I say that all the time so yeah
I know it's like it's not that terrible but But
they got the cops involved. Yeah, they have the
school board involved. Or what was that? And
the main issue is it's only because she posted
it with members of four thousand people. When
you get that many people involved, there are
people just start going at it because they have
nothing else to do in their life. Like, you know.
So there's one more update. Oh, my. Yes, arrested.
I don't know. She died. No, I'm just kidding.
It was her funeral. And they played this song.
The mothers came with a boombox on their shoulder
of the ding dong and the witch's death. And they
got kicked out. And everyone had to bring their
own beverage. This is update two. This is one
week later. So the protest party actually happened.
but not at Becky's house. The kids coordinated
a last minute gathering at the public park and
called it mama Linda's blowout. Over 100 kids
showed up. They even made merch. My face was
on a freaking t shirt. I wish I was kidding.
This when I read that I literally died laughing
because I feel like my senior year that is 1000
% something we would have ran off on like if
like there was this drama or things like that.
We would make this like the best thing ever.
And we would have 100 % had like a t -shirt of
the mom's face on there. Of Linda. Of Linda.
Isn't that her name? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Mama Linda
blew out. Oh, I love it. So the police showed
up eventually to shut it down, but no one got
in serious trouble. Apparently it was peaceful
according to the local Facebook gossip group.
A few parents are calling me an icon and saying
I should run for the PTA. Absolutely. Oh my gosh.
Becky still hasn't unblocked me but my daughter
actually said thank you. Oh. Because I'm guessing
it turned out way more fun. I bet it was fun.
These kids made it fun. And they I feel like
they it kind of turned into like it was kind
of this rebellious thing for them to do and that
just makes it more fun for kids thinking that
they're like starting kind of a riot you know
which is where the old no parents allowed BYOB
thing was like kind of a good little yeah I think
they should have invited Mama Linda to the party
yeah that get her on stage Or I would just go
if I knew about it. I'm showing up. Yeah. Hello,
everyone. I'm here. You're welcome. Thank you.
So autographs. So then the last part says, my
God, she said. So my daughter said, thank you.
She said this will go down as one of the most
legendary events of her high school experience,
even if it was unintentional. So I guess the
moral is don't joke about booze on Facebook.
Anyway, I'm staying off the Internet for a while.
Least then proof of 4 ,000 people and miners.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh wait people really do like Have
parties like for the kids and actually have booze
there and this oh, yeah, just doing it as an
accident That's so true. There's a lot of parents
even probably some of those But, you know? Yeah,
they were raising her. Like, here, honey, try
this glass of wine. Like, you know all these
parents let their kids try wine and all these
things. As long as you're at home doing it, it's
fine. Yeah, as long as you're with me. You've
heard that a lot. That's like the main, yep,
so true. Gosh, that's tough. I thought your story
was real, but I kind of could see that being
real. There was that comment that I thought was
funny. Do you? You know? They discussed it in
their home. Well, the good thing is, is there's
two more stories, so... That's you. You could
have not even heard the fate. Okay, good. I'm
like, you're a bullfrog. I'm gonna win. There
is one comment that I loved. It said, I laughed
so hard at Linda's lip bash. Sorry, OP, but this
is legendary. You're the kind of mom I want when
I have kids. I was like, oh, I love that. That's
sweet. I like that. Good job, Linda. Learn how
to Facebook, Linda. Yeah, there's people roasting
her about that, too. All right. This one comes
from the Reddit. It's from the subreddit Insane
Parents. Oh. So this is a screenshot of somebody's
Facebook post. Oh, jeez. OK. It's real. So it's
a mom posting about their child's experience.
OK, this is a hard post to write, and it may
be a hard post to read as well. My kid didn't
make the seventh grade junior high volleyball
team. She is devastated. You got me. She's been
crying for two hours now. Aw. Sure, it is really,
really hard to watch and comfort a child that
you birth when they are that upset. But also,
suck it up, Buttercup. I don't have experience
with this situation personally because in my
childhood and teenage years, I made every team
easily. Ugh. But also I went outside and played
softball, basketball, volleyball from the time
I woke up until the time mom called me in for
supper. I probably rode my bike a lot in between
those sports which helped me to build my leg
muscles for those said sports. We didn't have
TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, video games, group
texts, etc. when I was growing up. I just knew
the fun of sports. So I have told my daughter
after many hugs and kisses, if you want this,
put down the phone and go get it. Work for it.
Put in the time every single day. If you don't
want it that bad, then pick something else and
I will support you. Hashtag work udder. I agree.
I saw a story. That's mine and Whitney's story.
Oh, I always made a team. You did. I was like,
you wrote this in the future. For you and Isla.
She didn't make the basketball team, but she
made the wrestling cheerleading team. Oh, I was
like, you made the wrestling team? Why did you
film that now? Why did you try out for wrestling?
This is embarrassing. You're not good at wrestling.
You're right. Guys, so this is what happened.
But I know cheerleading seventh grade. Yes. I
tried out and I had a block. I had a mental block.
So my gymnastics, I couldn't do my back cancer
anymore because I had a mental block. I thought
I could still get away with making the team.
That's called being scared. Yeah. No, it was
more like a block. OK. The gymnast will know.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, those of you. Yeah. Anyway, so
I didn't I didn't throw my back cancer or my
back tuck. I didn't throw anything. But everything
else did it great. But I didn't make the boys
basketball cheer team. That was the one to be
on. And that's the one to be on. And I made the
wrestling and I opened it fully expecting to
make the boys basketball because I just I mean,
I was good. I just didn't throw my tuck. So that
killed me. Anyways open it and it's like grats.
You made the wrestling cheer team and all that
And all my friends And I was like and what did
I do Did I work harder? No, I said, uh, hell
no, I'm not doing wrestling done. So I quit I
didn't do it. I said, absolutely not you let
her clue. Oh, yeah. Thank you. Mom. Thank you
That would have been so terrible. You didn't
make the boys Don't you worry about it. You don't
even go. You should have made the basketball.
Yeah, that's what you said. And then you said,
don't even tell him you quit. Just don't show
up. I could see you say, yeah, I think you brought
it in. Thanks. Thanks. And then that next year,
what I do, you made the team, of course, the
actual basketball boys team, the boys basketball
team. Forget Charlie. We made the team. Oh, putting
up three. you worked extra hard i didn't what
did i do like you wrote what what you wanted
and you put wrestling do you remember saying
anything you did it wrong do you remember that
you actually are wrong to something mom because
i think it said what team do you want to make
and i check i think all of them You should know
and you shouldn't have done that is all the other
girls put just boys basketball Yeah, they were
like there's one that will be right. Yeah, cuz
there were girls. Okay. I was way better With
like I was way better than them and they made
boys basketball. So I was so yeah, you're right
mom Good job, but you also made eighth grade
Yeah, was it is that I made a great boys basketball
because I was like, all right this time I'm gonna
actually me right and I really tried I was going
to ask if that's when you switched volleyball.
No, no. So volleyball was always like my main
priority. I started volleyball like fifth grade
club. Really? Yeah. And she was really good.
How good mom? You were so good. You were very
good. Which one's your real mom? Mom's. Tell
me how amazing. You were amazing. You were very
good. Yes. Thank you. You had something to do
with Sydney. Carrying on the tradition. The legacy.
The legacy. It went Chelsea, Lindsay, me, Sydney,
and who was next? But don't forget Carly, Yvonne.
Yep. You right. You right. There's more. Wow.
And Brian. The disrespect. Ryan played volleyball?
And Brian. I wonder who started it. So was it
Yvonne? All of your kids all played volleyball.
Carly. Brigham? Yep, Brigham played volleyball.
Brecken, Ella, or not Ella, Brecken. Carly's
the oldest, so she started it. Yeah, the boy
plays. Is it Gavin? He's on a mission. No. Or
maybe it was Gavin. I don't know. Maybe they
all do. Yeah, Harvey. He's so darling. Anyways,
Goodman fam, what's up? Shout outs to all the
kids. Hope you don't mind me talking about your
children. We could have our own volleyball. Did
she end up working hard? Is there an update?
I want to hear this. There is no update. So this
is a little bit of a different subreddit than
we usually go for. But a lot of the comments
are calling the mom cuckoo. Oh, really? They're
the parents that want their child to work hard?
Yeah. Because every child deserves a trophy.
This is what they say. Yeah. Yeah, the participation.
Yeah. No, it's it one of them says imagine using
your child's defeat as an opportunity to brag
about yourself to everyone online This gives
narcissism vibes Because she was like, yeah back
in my day. I rode my bike around I had leg muscles
like I didn't I didn't miss I made all the teams
So I have a hard time feeling bad for I didn't
like that. I read me the wrong way She probably
could have said it differently like I have a
hard time relating like something she still could
have said it but maybe not went on and on about
it yeah but somebody else said imagine your mom
comforting you no imagine your mom comforting
you after you cry for several hours you finally
calm down and scroll through Facebook to distract
yourself and you see your mom made this post
just like my loser kid just couldn't knock it
That's true She's like go outside honey go play
Put your phone down or phone down whatever she
said yeah Go get some calf muscles because that's
gonna help you make your sport but kind of a
bunny like Yeah, she obviously doesn't know what
sports are nowadays It was easier to make teens
back then. Well, that and like, thanks for considering,
Mom, it's not even safe for us to ride our bikes
around anymore. It's a crazy world we live in.
You just want me to go get kidnapped? Cool. Yeah,
that's what she really wants. Yeah, it was simpler
times back in your day, lady. That is different,
but it is different. We still had to compete.
I didn't. I just sat and watched everybody. Yeah,
what did you do? Made jokes on the sidelines.
Did you just sing with the birds on the sidelines?
Yeah, singing. Yeah, that's all I did. I would
just stand there and the birds would come to
me. You were the weird little kid. One chuck
chuck. I don't even know what they are. Let's
go with that. One chuck chuck. No, you worked
hard at singing. You did quite a few things.
But I did not do any sports. That's okay, that's
embarrassing. That's okay. If your mom had Facebook.
But I never tried out for cheer because I didn't
want to make the wrestling cheerleading squad.
Well, shit. You got me there. I'm just kidding.
You got me there. That's actually a really good
thing. If you make the wrestling cheer, whoever
out there is listening. Good for you from making
a team. I did pole vaulting as well, and as soon
as that... You did? No, you didn't. For truck,
there is no tryouts. You just make the team.
So it's just who can stay, who doesn't quit.
So I thought it'd be cool to do truck. And I
was like, I want to do pole vaulting because
my brother Michael did pole vaulting. So I just
wanted to fall on his footstep. Well, the first
day we got the stick and we had to practice going,
just like hopping up, like literally just to
hop up the stick. I was like, I'm good. And I
quit that day. Because it's so long. Did it stab
you? It was horrible. I literally could not tell
you. I just remember learning the steps and as
soon as you're, it was like, I couldn't do it.
You should have done like, did you go? Yeah.
What's the other one? You're just getting pissed.
Or the hurdles. That would have been better.
I think I could have done good at hurdles back
in the day, but I also. It was pole vaulting
or nothing. It was pole vaulting or die. I know
that takes some skill, man. I was like one of
the only girls on the team, too, and I was like.
Now we know why you didn't try it out for track.
Exactly. Let's go with that scene. Did you run
like the 100 year dash? Absolutely not. I did
track for less than a week and I quit. This story
could be true too. This is very much within realm
of real. Wait until you hear the next one. are
probably, I don't think there's a fake story
this week. You could be correct. I still think
the name of that one is. There's always gonna
be one fake story. There always will be. Only
one. You're not freaking. No, no. We're ready.
Couldn't do it. My the a -hole for refusing to
let my mother -in -law hold my baby after she
told my husband to get a paternity test. Yes.
No, mother is. Yes, no, mom. I, 28 female, gave
birth to my first child, a beautiful baby girl,
three weeks ago. My husband, 30 male, and I have
been over the moon, but his mother has been causing
non -stop drama. She never liked me. From the
start, she made snide comments about how I trapped
her son even though we've been happily married
for four years. When I got pregnant, she constantly
joked about how the baby might not be his. I
brushed it off as her usual passive aggressive
behavior until I found out she took it way further.
Two days ago after I gave birth my husband got
a text from his mom saying you should get a DNA
test you never know these days. I was devastated
when I saw it. My husband was furious and told
her off saying he had zero doubts about me and
that her comment was disgusting. She tried to
backtrack saying she was just looking out for
him. Now she wants to come over and meet the
baby, but I told my husband that she will not
be holding our daughter. If she wants to question
whether my child is even her grandchild, then
she doesn't get the privilege of bonding with
her. My husband understands why I'm upset, but
he thinks we should let her come just once so
she doesn't play the victim with the rest of
the family. Now she's crying to everyone saying
I'm keeping her granddaughter from her and that
I'm punishing her over a harmless question. Some
family members think I'm being dramatic and should
be the bigger person. But why should I let someone
who disrespected me and my child alter like nothing
happened? Am I the a -hole for refusing to let
her hold my baby? I don't know. That's hard.
This one's good. Only because, first of all,
the real a -hole in this whole thing is the mother
-in -law. Because she just is. She just is. Well,
she does it. Yeah. I don't ever do that. So she
always had a problem with the daughter -in -law.
Yes. Okay. So I don't blame the daughter -in
-law at all. For just being like, this is the
last straw. Right. You're done, bro. Right. I
would give it a little bit of time and maybe
she'll let the mother -in -law come into their
lives or let her hold them. So this is where
this is where, like, if I'm trying to just be
devil's advocate here, imagine the mother -in
-law is sincerely concerned for her son, right?
Like, let's say that she really has a reason
to be concerned. This the original poster is
not going to shock to be like, well, yeah, but
like, I've been I've been a little bit questionable
at times. So he caught me in an emotional affair.
Yeah, this is a one sided story. Yes, you're
you only get the perspective of. Her. The mother
of the baby. Yeah. But let's just say like if
you could imagine your son is marrying somebody
and like I know it's not it doesn't apply to
your situation but if you if you were concerned
about them is it unreasonable to be like hey
son have you thought about a paternity test like
is there any harm in it? Obviously it's it's
one thing because OP is going to take you as
like a personal attach you know feel like you
think I'm not loyal but When I read the story,
when I heard the story, like my thought was,
she's so defensive. Like she's so defensive.
She's so instantly like, no way. If she's only
been with him and the DNA test is going to come
back and it's his kid, why wouldn't you just
be like, okay, that's disrespectful. Do it if
you want. It's his kid. Of course it's his kid.
You know what I mean? Yeah. That would be really
hard because yeah, now you said that I think
of like my kid. Yeah. What I bet. Do you think
the mother -in -law was jealous of the daughter?
That she took her son away? Yes. That could also
be an upset. A little bit angry with her to begin
with. That could be a possibility. It's either,
I think it's, yeah, it's either that or it's
this girl isn't the best. Could be. you know
could be both right could be a mixture of both
yeah true and who knows what the sun is telling
his mom though maybe the sun has said something
to his mom like yes and so that could be why
mom is like you know would you ever do that no
what if you had millions of dollars would you
do it maybe yeah what's the random pool of my
money i i don't think i would wow i don't I would
do it myself. You're your own PI. I would be
my own detective. You'd be good at that. Yeah,
you should look into that wrong. That would be
so fun. We used to do that when we were younger.
We'd go on our own company. We'd go spy on our
boyfriend. Wait. Boyfriends? Yeah, we would get
in the car, like we'd borrow Angie's car or I
don't know. And Angie went with you? No, we would
just take our car and we'd drive up and... How
many times did a boy come and take us out me
and my roommates out on dates? And then we'd
follow them after they leave us and they would
go take out a girl. Yeah. Oh, well, you got played,
but you knew you knew to follow them. I'm so
impressed. We were just like, you know, yeah,
I honestly, I wonder if it was still fun. Oh,
I love catching all the scoundrels. You know,
I got a high from it, too, because I have that
while we have the same blood guys, because I
did that so much. I would literally like, I don't
think I've ever told you this Joe, but I did.
Oh, multiple times. I am shook. I never told
you that. And we've been married with what? You
know, nothing that's been found. Yes, by the
way. No, she I'm not saying her I spy. No, I
know. I'm just saying. Oh, yeah. It's the mother
in law or it's you. Go ahead. No, it's me. I've
spied on you a few times in near anywhere. I
mean, you have my locations now. Well, yeah,
I don't have to. She doesn't have to. But we
didn't back then. One time you were like going
to hang out and then we decided not to. And this
is when we were just like dating, like we weren't
like official or anything. So didn't he tell
you he was sick? No, no. He said he was going
to go bowling with his friends. And I wanted
to see if girls were there. So me and my friend
drove there and we slept. And were there girls
there? Was there girls? Joe. No, I don't think
so. I don't remember. He doesn't even know. I
don't believe so. Did you come in? Did you like,
I thought you like made it known that you were
there or something. I'm well, that was one other
time. I think I think the one time I went in
there was like multiple. Oh, you're here. Right.
That's so weird. There's no way I just went in
and said hi to you. If I would have known that
you did that on purpose, we'd be in a different
situation right now. I'm over here thinking that's
a true coincidence. I'm like, dang, that's crazy.
It's a big place. I'm like, you're just in the
same spot. Like, whoa. That looked so hot that
night, too. The stars have aligned. So you knew.
You probably knew I was going to be at church
that day, the very first time we met. No, not
at all. Why do you think she looks so hot? Yeah,
she knew she was going to run into you. I mean,
mission accomplished. She was prepared. All that
spying and weird stuff was worth it, I guess.
You guys want to hear something funny? Well,
it's kind of funny. There was a time I found
a receipt in deep pants when I was doing. Those
are the worst. What the frick? Wait, wait, hold
on. First of all. Yeah. So. You take stuff out
of the pockets when you put it in? Only some
bin. I don't do it now because I don't even do
laundry now. Zeke does laundry. You should take
stuff out of your pants. So you take stuff out
of the pockets. I was just wondering because
I've had so many clothes ruined by chapstick.
I'm just wondering. Yeah, no, that is the worst
though. It's his fault. He's taking stuff out
of his pants. Take your own pockets out. So I'm
clean. I took this out. And there was a receipt
and it said honeybees or honeybears, honeybears.
And it was on Van Buren. And you know, then,
and I was so mad. Then you know what really made
me so mad? The price was only $5. And I'm like,
then I'm thinking this is this. Gross, you know.
Treat yourself better than that, hmm? So then
I'm like, ooh, gross. And so then I go in, I'm
like, what is this? Honey bears, five bucks,
you know, or whatever. Newsstand, I don't know,
it was cheap. And he's like, it's a barbecue
place. I'm like, and I looked at that. Of course
we all and it was it was a barbecue place. And
I was like, okay, anyway, so honey bears on Dan
Buren and then you know if it's still there and
then you've checked every pair of pants pockets
since then looking for what and I've not ever
found a receipt since and now he does the laundry.
He's like, I gotta cover my tracks now. He's
like nothing more let her know my favorite barbecue
spot is why he does laundry now. Hey, I'll take
that. Frick. So yeah, laundry bro. That was pretty
bad. That's hilarious. See, we all have our silly
stories. Yeah, it is fun. So back to the mother
in law. Sorry. Oh, I love it. All over the place.
She hired a detective to find out about her daughter
-in -law, didn't she? So here's the update. OK.
She swabbed her herself. Yeah. Oh, just wait.
Oh, oh. Well, I wish I could say things get better,
but mother -in -law made sure that it didn't
happen. After my husband told her off, I thought
she'd at least try to apologize, but instead,
she doubled down. She started calling my husband,
telling him I was turning him against his own
mother, and that I was overreacting to a simple
question. She even pulled the Clawston victim
out, crying to the rest of the family about how
I was keeping her grandbaby from her. Then, things
took a ridiculous turn. I found out from my sister
-in -law that mother -in -law was actually trying
to get a DNA test done behind her back. Apparently
she was hoping to get a strand of my baby's hair
or some spit to confirm the truth. When my sister
-in -law told me, I was absolutely done. I told
my husband that until she apologizes, not a fake
I'm sorry or mad apology, but a real one. She
is not welcomed around me or my daughter. Thankfully,
my husband backed me up 100%. He told his mother
that if she can't respect his wife and child,
then she doesn't deserve to be a part of our
lives. Mother -in -law lost it. She went full
drama mode telling everyone I was tearing the
family apart and that she might never recover
from this heartbreak. At this point, I don't
even care. She disrespected me, she disrespected
my marriage, and she disrespected my child. Actions
have consequences. So yeah, mother -in -law still
hasn't met the baby and unless she does some
serious apologizing self -reflection, she won't
be anytime soon. Am I the eight hole? No. No,
but... That would be hard. Maybe they should
communicate a little. Send her text pictures,
like what you're missing out on. I'm just kidding.
Rub it in her face. But I mean, at a certain
point, it's like, hey, do you want to be involved
in this kid's life? Because we're not cool with
how you're treating us. And I mean, ultimately,
yes, everything's solved by communication. We
talk about this all the time. Yeah. Like mother
-in -law, if you have your doubts. You got to
clear the air somehow. You don't you don't just
get to be like this little seed in their marriage
affecting stuff like Opie has every right to
be upset with the mother -in -law. I just think
it's a serious thing for her to not meet her
grandkid. Yeah, that's hard. And it is her son.
Yeah. You know, if it is, if it is his baby,
then it is her grandchild. Exactly. Maybe. Tell
me. Tell me right now. Maybe mother -in -law.
Maybe the sun really isn't. Hey, hey, hey, dad,
you saw it right now. And that's why it came
into her mind. She's projecting. She is. Oh,
wait, that is it. I've got it. Shannon, that
is the update. The top comment says. Tell her
you want a DNA test on your husband as you don't
think his father is the real father. She must
be projecting from her own slutty days. Where
else would she get it from? What's this idea
that she can't get over? You need to make sure
that's your kid. It's basic trust. It's that
she doesn't think that the character is there.
And to me, that part, I understand, because obviously
this lady could be crazy. But if she's not, then
maybe there's a reason that she wants the DNA
test. All right, so story number one was Ding
Dong the Witch is Dead. The funeral. Funeral.
Story number two? Facebook group gone wrong post
number three was the volleyball post the mom
that her daughter didn't make the volleyball
team okay yeah like go ride your bike fatty yes
okay and the fourth and the fourth was the crazy
mother -in -law paternity test. That might be
real. That one might be real. Yeah. I don't know,
you're smiling. So this is a reminder for you
guys and the listeners. Three real, one generated
by ChadGPT. And our brains. One fake. So one
fake story. Which means one fake. Okay, so more,
okay, okay. I say the ding -dong. Is that the
fake one? Because, who would sing a song like
that in a funeral? Your sister? Hello! So if
it's not real now, it could be in another funeral.
That's it. I'm playing it now. What's happening?
It's on video or whatever. Yeah, I'm gonna add
this and then we'll play the song. It's okay.
Nobody get offended. I'm proving this. Sounds
good. That's so hard. Okay. For the volleyball
moms? I'd say yes. That's a little off. I'm so
gonna be wrong, but... I'm going to say that
it's the paternity one. Okay. Only because it
very well could be a true like today. It's so
crazy that it actually could be true. Totally.
But I'm just yeah. Okay. Those are maybe there's
like a different it could be true to a certain
point. So I'll tell you guys right now. We're
wrong. One of you. One of you totally could be
right. one of you totally could do that. Thanks.
Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So, yeah. You
guys know, right? Obviously. Yes. Yes. We know
it. We do. We're the puppets. We're the puppeteers.
Okay. Oh, but for the listeners, go on socials
and give us a vote who you think is which one
you think is the fake story. Instagram, YouTube,
