Jay’s “FINE?!😨” when Miles called the final jeans fine was a KILLER button to that whole sequence

I love a Jay story that is 15 minutes even though it could have been a single sentence

jay describing the cold open as “like a paddington movie”

Genuinely, I love a Jay story time. This is how my friends and I tell each other stories and it makes me want to get SO invested in this mundane story and ask ridiculous follow up questions. But I also love the mocking 😂

the plot twist that Jay wasn’t wearing the pants in the studio had me cackling😂

Loving the advice column inception here: Advice columnist asking for advice about their advice column from an advice column podcast.

I feel like Clue was projecting her own insecurities onto Rhubarb in her submission. I don’t personally see her as flaunting her privilege as much as she sharing it with her friend. I don’t understand why she agreed to go to Rhubarb’s house if she didn’t like her at all? This girl has some things she needs to work through. I personally would try to get my piggy bank back and stop being friends, but I can see how it may be healing if Rhubarb is willing to listen and talk about these problems. Responding to the question in the paper is a good idea. I personally would probably send a text saying “I’m sorry to see you are unhappy with our friendship and the time you spent at my home. I’m not mad at you and I don’t care about the money but can I please have my piggy bank back? I’ve had it since I was a kid and it means a lot to me.”

Honestly if I was Rhubarb I would respond to Clue’s question in the column itself, the boys gave good advice about that part of the situation. Like I’d encourage Clue to speak with Rhubarb about the situation, and cop to stealing their piggy bank. Then if Clue doesn’t follow through with that advice (they clearly feel some remorse why write in about it?), I’d broach the topic to be like hey, have you seen my pink piggy bank? The last time I saw it was when we were visiting my parents, and my mom said it’s missing or something like that.
