To be or not be the A**hole? That is the question. And the truth is that it's one that has been plaguing The Jonathans for millennia. And it's not for a lack of trying, it's truly all they think about, but it turns out to be infinitely more complex than they thought because there is more to the A**hole than meets the eye. Today, The Jonathans do some digging, some diving deep and some analysis on the following posts:AITA for lying to my gf about having a child?AITA for saying niece can't come on vacation if she continues to have "tics"?AITA for telling my daughter the truth about her father?This and more on today's episode of AM I THE BLEEP!?!

“You can’t always get what you want…” Maybe it’s a little past your generation, but sixty odd years ago, that line spurred legions of unwavering fans throughout the rock ‘n roll world. Today, the question isn’t really whether or not you can get what you want… instead, it’s more nuanced: Should you always get what you want?Not getting what you want can suck. It feels like you’re sacrificing a part of yourself. You feel a pit in your stomach, and you’re upset that even with the best of intentions, you ended up with a bad outcome. But sometimes, not getting what you want can be exactly what you need. We know. This is a controversial take. But bear with us, because we’re about to blow your mind.

It's not every day that the Jonathans put up a united front against the crimes of assholery. And while it is against their better judgement, today, the Jonathans will do just that. Together they read the following posts to determine who is the a**hole and also who is the BLEEP!?!"AITA for refusing to clean up after my girlfriend even though she was upset?AITA for refusing to help my daughter with her car payment because she is a stripper?AITA for telling a morbid joke about my son?A quick note from Dr. Jon: Sociopathy is absolutely in the DSM V under Antisocial Personality Disorder. What he meant to say that it does not appear in the DSM V like it does in the cultural zeitgeist, like on television. It is usually more nuanced and less cinematic than how it is used colloquially.
