  1. 2:06Shayne traces r/AmItheAsshole back to an early office-thermostat dispute.
  2. 4:21A Reddit poster says a dispute over buried emergency beans ended his relationship.
  3. 10:04The bean discussion turns to canned-bean liquid and whether chickpeas belong in the category.
  4. 29:00An old r/grilledcheese rant insists on distinguishing grilled cheese sandwiches from melts.
  5. 33:10The sandwich debate leads into Tommy's complaint about trendy truffle flavor and a sun-dried tomato comparison.

Extra fillings change everything. At least, that is the argument in the old Reddit rant Shayne brings to Trevor and Tommy: a grilled cheese with additions belongs in the melt category, and the distinction apparently warrants a manifesto.

That culinary boundary dispute is one stop in Smosh Pit's "Digging Up Reddit's Past | Reading Reddit Stories." The episode has reached roughly 2.7 million views in a week, but its attraction is the archive itself: posts whose oddly specific problems have become internet reference points.

The sandwich argument arrives around the half-hour mark. It sends the group into definitions of melts and grilled cheese, then gives Tommy room for a separate food grievance: trendy truffle flavor, considered against sun-dried tomatoes. Viewers single out that tangent in the comments, alongside the stone-tablet prop Shayne uses to present this supposed ancient history.

Earlier, the group revisits a poster's account of a girlfriend burying their quarantine supply of canned beans in the woods. Trevor and Tommy consider the practical effort involved in digging the hole; the conversation eventually reaches bean juice and whether chickpeas count as beans. The beans are buried, but the logistical questions remain very much above ground.

The episode includes paid advertising segments for Zocdoc and Quince.
