The Ranting Podcast

Show Notes

In episode 125 of the Rant Files, Nick and Miranda are talking about birthdays, milestones, parties, call-outs at restaurants, sharing birthdays with someone, celebrating by yourself, and receiving "Happy Birthdays" from people you only hear from once a year.

The episode also features two wild AITA stories: • AITA for being upset with my daughter's "birthday surprise?" • AITA for crocheting at the bar ordering drinks during US v Belgium World Cup game?

Plus, we wrap things up with Birthday themed Would You Rather questions including: Would you rather have everyone forget your birthday or they celebrate it on the wrong day? Would you rather have one amazing (like destination type) birthday every 10 years or an average (like at home) birthday every year? Would you rather never eat birthday cake and ice cream again or never receive presents again? Would you rather always have a surprise party or never have another birthday party? Would you rather celebrate your birthday with celebrities or your closest friends? Would you rather stay the same age forever or age twice as fast? Would you rather relive your best birthday every year or have a completely new birthday adventure each year? Would you rather have unlimited cake and ice cream or unlimited presents? Would you rather have your birthday fall on a Monday every year or always during a snowstorm? Would you rather plan your own party or let someone else completely surprise you?

And finally...

Would you rather everyone remembers your birthday, every year, (even celebrities) and they make it incredible by celebrating you or everyone forgets it, every year—but you're guaranteed one life-changing gift every birthday?
