Summary

Hosts Denver and Theresa review the week's top Reddit stories, including a brother-in-law who pays for a meal then complains about the cost, a controlling boyfriend who demands location tracking, and a husband who leaves their son home alone based on a child's word. They also revisit a viral story about a man who gained weight from "zero-calorie" Tic Tacs, now updated with a diagnosis of postprandial hypoglycemia. The episode concludes with a bride-to-be declaring her engagement ring cursed after her mother-in-law took it to a jeweler without permission.
