My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we have a topic talk, I believe, and this is the tuna fish sandwich debate and social. I have no idea what this means. Please enlighten me. 00:01:08 Xochitl Jack, I came across this and it it's kind of popular amongst American medicines in the in the group that I found. So a girl was commenting about how. 00:01:21 Xochitl She gave her. 00:01:23 Xochitl Money to go buy and cheese sandwich with all the fixings, which for others who don't know means, you know, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, whatever. And she very specifically said she wanted that ham and cheese sandwich. So he went to subway, she gave him money for both of their sandwich. 00:01:37 발표자 3 Mm-hmm. 00:01:44 Xochitl And I believe she wasn't feeling well or or something. So anyway, he went alone. So he went and bought a sandwich and he bought himself something different. And then he bought her a tuna fish salad sandwich, which he also likes. But he knows she doesn't like tuna. 00:02:05 Xochitl And she doesn't really eat tuna, but he likes tuna, and he brought her the sandwich and told her that he brought her the tuna fish sandwich because he just wanted her to try his favorite sandwich, even though he got himself something different as well. So the commenters were divided on whether she should be grateful. 00:02:25 Xochitl And she was actually saying she was grateful anyway, but that it kind of annoyed her. But she ended up feeling grateful that he went and got sandwiches, or if she should be upset. 00:02:36 Xochitl That he got her something she didn't ask for with her money, that he liked, that he knew that she wouldn't really like. So what do you think, Jack? 00:02:45 Jack Yeah, this one is. This is very uhm, here's an expression SUS like suspect, you know? Yeah, this is suck. 00:02:53 Xochitl But yes, that's like me. So it's like weird or kind of suspicious. That's what it stands for. Suspicious. 00:02:56 Jack Yeah. 00:03:00 Jack Suspicious. Exactly. 00:03:03 Jack This reminds me of an episode of The Simpsons where Homer. 00:03:09 Jack Buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday that is exactly like sized for his hand and his fingers. So basically he buys her a present that she will never use and doesn't wants and that. 00:03:29 Jack He wants and that he will use. 00:03:31 Jack And she is supposed to be grateful for that. And and this is like, this is just pure manipulation, you know, like, this is just this guy wants to eat all of the sandwiches and he's got his sandwich that he bought for himself. 00:03:43 Xochitl Right. 00:03:53 Jack And then he knows that she's not going to eat the tuna sandwich because she doesn't like tuna. 00:03:59 Jack And he's trying to frame it as like I'm it's like. 00:04:04 Jack It's it's like the it's, it's just it's like. 00:04:06 Jack Kind of like a. 00:04:07 Jack Gaslighting, almost like like I'm I'm giving you the exact opposite of what you want and and make and and you're and forcing you to say thank you for. 00:04:09 Xochitl Yeah. 00:04:18 Jack For me doing it's, it's just like it's, it's awful. I mean it's it's in the grand scheme of things. It's not a bi
