Morgan's High School Revenge Era

255: Ludicrous! Ft. Angela Giarratana · Feb 12, 2026 Comedy

Morgan casually revealed she once put horse manure on a mean classmate's car in high school, then separately put an ice cream cone on a McDonald's employee's car after the employee harassed her — and got banned from McDonald's. The twist: she and the girl eventually became friends when they realised the boy was playing both of them. Morgan is still owed $600.

The episode's showstopping story comes from r/AmIOverreacting: a man defending his decision to spend nearly all of the $32,000 in house savings on a single wheel of 21-year-old cloth-bound Heritage cheddar, reasoning that he could slice it into 200-gram wedges and sell them at $60 each for a profit of $38,000. His girlfriend left immediately. The hosts spend considerable time trying to verify whether the post is real — the OP provides a receipt, a photo of the cheese with a date stamp, a photo of his hand with his Reddit username written on it in Sharpie, and an AI-image-detector result showing 1% likelihood of being AI-generated. An update from the OP reveals the full spiral: he tried to return the cheese, damaged the paraffin wax while attempting to open it, voided the non-refundable sale, and then spent $8,500 on a commercial bar cooler, industrial humidifier, vacuum sealer, and ripening mats. He had to remove his apartment door to get the fridge inside, and his landlord walked in to find a commercial cheese operation in the living room — particularly alarming given the same tenant had been plasma-cutting in the kitchen months earlier. An eviction notice followed. Morgan and Angela do the maths: $18,400 + $8,500 = ~$26,900 invested against a theoretical $30,000 value, for a maximum $3,000 gain — minus having lost a girlfriend and his home. Morgan messages the OP directly to buy some cheese.

The Fish Jealousy Paradox

255: Ludicrous! Ft. Angela Giarratana · Feb 12, 2026 Society & Culture

A man's boyfriend became jealous of the daily 15–20 minute venting session he had with his pet fish. When he tried switching to talking to his boyfriend instead, the boyfriend ignored him and watched TV. Morgan and Angela point out the obvious: wanting all the attention but none of the conversation is pure control.

Abuse Doesn't Have to Be Physical

255: Ludicrous! Ft. Angela Giarratana · Feb 12, 2026 Society & Culture

A 24-year-old housewife who learned to cook her husband's cultural cuisine was called a whore, dead weight, and useless — triggered by a joke about dishes. Morgan flags the financial abuse angle: he holds all the money while dismissing her degree. Angela lands the verdict: get out, you haven't even hit your best years yet.
