  • Encore Episode: The Mother’s Day Meltdown — Am I the A**hole for Telling My Daughter-in-Law She’s Not a Mother?
    Jan 21 2026

    Some episodes spark deep empathy — others, outrage. This one might do both. When words wound across generations, how do you repair the emotional fallout? Dan and Gayle explore motherhood, identity, and the delicate balance between honesty and harm.

    It’s one of our most polarizing conversations yet — can you guess if it was a fan favorite or a flop?

  • Encore Episode: The Vacation I Don’t Want — Am I the A**hole for Skipping a Trip with My University Friends?
    Jan 14 2026

    Not every getaway is a good idea — especially when you’d rather stay home. This encore episode dives into friendship pressure, introvert guilt, and the psychology of saying “no” to what everyone else seems excited about.

    Is it selfish to opt out, or self-care to skip the chaos? You tell us.

  • Encore Episode: Wedding Feast Fallout — Am I the A**hole for Bringing My Own Food to My Friend’s Wedding?
    Jan 7 2026

    We’re re-airing some of your favorite — and least favorite — episodes from the vault. This one asks: is it ever okay to BYO meal to someone else’s big day? When food allergies, dietary restrictions, and friendship collide, the stakes are higher than the wedding cake.

    Dan and Gayle explore boundaries, etiquette, and the fine art of not stealing the spotlight — or the buffet.
