If you have something you want to throw on the savage scale you can reach out to us like this listener did!

"I know on the surface this is going to sound super savage, but please hear me out. I've got two older sisters who are annoyingly amazing at pretty much everything, especially cooking. I on the other hand am barely capable of boiling water and really just in general the black sheep of the entire family. With Labor Day weekend coming up I've got a family BBQ I'll be going to where everyone has been asked to bring a side. The same thing happened last year and I was extremely proud of myself for attempting to make my side from scratch. Sadly, everyone else spent the entire party mocking how bad it was. I know they're not trying to be mean, but it really did hurt. This year I told my husband I'm not reliving that pain and instead will just buy a side. But again, fearing I'll be mocked if I admit I just bought it, I'm going to play it off like I made it. I know it sounds silly, but just once I don't want to be the butt of the joke and would love for my family to be impressed with me."
