We Saved These Stories For Them w/ The Basement Yard | Reading Reddit Stories

In a highly anticipated crossover, Shane and Spencer of Smosh's Reddit Stories welcomed Joe and Frank from The Basement Yard podcast for an episode filled with bizarre Reddit posts and hilarious commentary. The hosts expressed their excitement, noting they had been wanting this collaboration for a long time.

The Case of the Illegally Collected Yogurt

The first Reddit story, titled "Am I the asshole for throwing away my boyfriend's potentially illegal yogurt collection?" immediately set a strange tone. The original poster (OP), a 29-year-old woman, detailed her 30-year-old boyfriend's unusual collecting habits. He had previously collected guinea pigs, Tide Pods, and electric insulators. His latest obsession? Yogurt. The problem, as OP explained, was that yogurt is perishable. Their 550-square-foot studio apartment in an expensive big U.S. city was overflowing with approximately 2,100 cups of yogurt, stored in multiple refrigerators. The apartment had begun to smell like "rotten milk" for two weeks, leading OP to finally snap and throw out the entire collection. Her boyfriend was understandably upset, particularly because he claimed to have "Cuban and Iranian yogurts that you can't get in the US." OP questioned the legality of these yogurts, given trade sanctions.

Joe and Frank were incredulous. Frank suggested the boyfriend was a "hoarder" and that the situation was a "Hazmat issue." Shane joked about the boyfriend's rationale for buying extra fridges, claiming he "didn't want to walk to the fridge at night." The discussion then veered into the concept of "fart bags" from their childhood, with Joe and Frank trying to explain the novelty item to Shane, who had never encountered them.
