Smosh Pit serves a Cornish pasty with ketchup, then gets to the important part: the man eating it is still thinking about something kind his wife said.
In "Boy Dinner Diaries | Reading Reddit Stories," Shayne Topp reads posts from a subreddit where men pair pictures of their meals with accounts of their lives. Spencer Agnew and Chanse McCrary join him, inspecting the plates as readily as the decisions behind them.
The pasty accompanies a husband's story about a bedtime reading routine and a compliment that moved him. The trio considers why being called a good guy can mean so much, before returning to the pastry's inadequate photographic coverage. "Show us the inside of the Cornish pasty," Shayne demands. "Don't give us this vague stuff."
A toasted sandwich introduces a different disappointment: a father playing Marvel Rivals feels his achievements have been undermined by discovering he was facing bots. The panel considers whether computer-controlled opponents are perfectly fine if they help someone enjoy a game and feel competent. Viewers add a useful distinction: choosing to play against bots isn't the same as encountering them when you expected human opponents.
Elsewhere, a burger and crinkle-cut fries accompany a story about noticing a partner's hair. Leftover chili and a biscuit arrive with romantic uncertainty, prompting Chanse to encourage the poster to take a chance.
The episode has drawn nearly two million views, though its appeal here is the conversation rather than an unusual surge. It also includes a sponsored Zocdoc segment. Across the meal photos, the trio keeps finding the same thing worth examining: the small encounters people carry home with dinner.

The fact that Shane chanse and Spencer are even dressed like how I’d imagine the three meals of the day to look.
Edit: Shane looks like a bowl of cereal, chanse looks like a nice lunch out to Panera, and Spencer looks like steak with wine.@Mila-u9l6vSee it on YouTubethe immediate cut after Spencer's "childhood friend" comment was the funniest part of the video for me

I think people are misunderstanding the marvel rivals story. The guy is annoyed that bots are forced on you in a quick play pvp mode. There's no option to turn it off and if you wanted to play against bots, you would queue up specifically for a bot match or go play PVE. Sometimes you're playing quick play with friends in different skill levels or crossplay and you can't do ranked together either.
