Summary

Kathleen’s favorite subreddit, “Am I the Asshole?" is also great fodder for some debates and self-reflection. Is a bride-to-be the asshole for boycotting her MIL’s wedding but still wanting to borrow her wedding dress? Is a graphic novel lover the asshole for telling his local pushy bookstore owner that he can find their books cheaper on Amazon? Then, Bethany is telling the truth (and some of the fun urban legends) surrounding Boston Township, Ohio, aka “Hell Town.” #SatanistsOrNah? Plus, Kathleen has a new business idea!

At Honda, we've never looked to other car companies for inspiration.

No, it's not a matter of an inflated ego. We just prefer listening to what people really need.

1:45.6

am I the asshole. Kathleen, I followed this subreddit on Twitter.

1:51.3

Oh. And I love this subreddit because people are usually so like, I don't know, we'll cover it.
