The Staircase

And what the hell does an owl have to do with any of this?!
Monthly Surprise: "Am I the A**hole?"
Ever wondered if you handled a situation correctly? Even better, have you ever wanted PH and GP to weigh in with their opinions? One of our favorite Hero Bell Patreon exclusives –when the duo answered questions posed in the infamous Reddit thread, "Am I the a**hole?" Members of the Obsessed Network team picked the prompts, and Patrick and Gillian had to react – as our team members reenacted them. Prompts include: a sushi buffet bait-and-switch, a graduation cake gone wrong, a pissed off coworker giving the cold shoulder, and way more tomfoolery.
The Jinx
