TLDRI: Fellas, Is It Gay To Help Another Man With A Box?

October 1, 2025·42 min·2 clips

The full story of the class monitor post changes everything: the bully called the poster a boy for having dark skin, mocked her for being 'a bad Muslim,' spread rumors she didn't bathe, and made her afraid to tell anyone for fear of physical retaliation.

1. Best Gabe Ever hosts Gabe Dunn and Alison Raskin present 'Too Long, Didn't Read It,' a format where they find and discuss Reddit posts live. 2. Alison opens with a pregnancy update: she is 22 weeks, had not yet felt the baby kick, and learned at a doctor's appointment that she has an anterior placenta — a front-facing placenta that cushions fetal movement. 3. Her baby is currently breech, but she notes there is still time for him to flip; she describes the external version procedure (epidural, manual manipulation, 50% success rate, risk of emergency C-section) and says she would skip it and opt for a scheduled C-section if needed. 4. The first Reddit post comes from r/Confessions: at age 11, the poster responded to a bullying class monitor by methodically stealing and discarding her possessions — pens, notebooks, pencil cases — one item at a time over weeks, surviving a classroom search, until the girl became paranoid, quit her monitor role, and stopped bullying. 5. Gabe's initial reaction focuses on the unsettling composure: 'you're 11, that's too old to be doing this calculatedly' — noting the OP maintained a straight face through a formal classroom search. 6. Alison initially suggests the poster may have gone too far, but both hosts are partially sympathetic given the bully was genuinely mean to multiple kids. 7. A follow-up context post from the same OP reveals the full scope of the bullying: daily shouting, physical pushing, mocking the poster for being thin, having short hair, and having dark skin (calling her a boy), mocking her for not wearing a hijab as a sign of being a bad Muslim, spreading rumors she didn't bathe, and recruiting friends into the campaign. 8. The context reveal completely reverses both hosts: 'I take back everything I said. This is vigilante justice. The teachers weren't going to do it. Somebody had to step up.' 9. The second major Reddit post comes from r/AmIOverreacting: a woman who survived an extremely abusive marriage (emotional, mental, financial destruction), spent 10 years single healing and raising her children, entered a four-year relationship, and discovered her boyfriend had secretly befriended and entered a business partnership with her abusive ex-husband despite an explicit boundary. 10. The boyfriend lied about who he was meeting, then when caught claimed he was 'relieved she found out because he only lied because she would have been upset' — which Alison characterizes as pure gaslighting and deflection. 11. At a co-parenting lunch, the boyfriend revealed the partnership was already advanced and demanded the woman help the abusive ex with business paperwork; she broke up with him immediately. 12. The hosts note that the woman is questioning whether she overreacted rather than feeling proud of herself, and discuss how survivors of abuse are often conditioned to doubt their own judgments. 13. Gabe observes that the boyfriend represents 'bro-ing down at the expense of your partner' — giving another man the benefit of the doubt over the woman he has spent four years with. 14. An r/ApartmentLiving post about leaving a polite note for a weed-smoking neighbor whose bathroom vent connects to the poster's unit is discussed; both hosts find the note reasonable and suggest only adding a name for friendliness. 15. A commenter's story about having their tires slashed in response to a similar note is cited as an example of how the neighbor's personality determines the outcome. 16. Gabe shares a personal trans experience: staying late at work to protect two female coworkers from a lingering customer, then catching the internal thought 'I'm the boy now, these two girls need me' — recognizing it as inhabiting the role they previously benefited from. 17. This flows into a riff about losing the privileges of being perceived as a woman: nobody brings Gabe a towel at the pool anymore, and heavy boxes stay heavy — captured in the phrase 'fellas, is it gay to help another man with a box.' 18. The episode also covers r/ShittyMovieDetails, a parody subreddit that presents film observations as if they are deep Easter eggs but uses them for unrelated personal commentary, which the hosts find delightful. 19. A final segment comes from r/TooAfraidToAsk about hating water; Gabe recommends zero-sugar Gatorade powder packets as a hydration hack. 20. The episode is casual in format, with significant crosstalk, personal disclosure, and comedic asides; it is the TLDRI (Too Long, Didn't Read It) variant of Best Gabe Ever rather than a guest interview episode.
