Running a household with a four and six year old, I have become a connoisseur of children's toys. And not only can Amazon prime get me what the boys want as quickly as possible, which honestly can save my day, it also suggests new toys, ones I didn't even know existed, sending me down a rabbit hole of robots, ninja hybrids, and happy puppets.

Ryder Strong
Well, we are very excited to be with the ladies of scrubbing in. Becca Tilly and Tanya Ra.
Danielle Fishel
Hello.
Ryder Strong
Thanks for having us do the two of, like, Vegas. Have you ever done a scrubbing in from Vegas? What's your history with Las Vegas?
Tanya Ra
Have we ever.
Danielle Fishel
Have we done a podcast from Vegas? Which time do we have?
Ryder Strong
Tell us more.
Danielle Fishel
We have done many I heart events here and. Yeah, and then we're.
Tanya Ra
We're running on year nine of our podcast.
Danielle Fishel
Oh, geez.
Will Friedle
So your show didn't end and you didn't scramble to figure out what the.
Jensen Karp
Hell you were going to do next?
Danielle Fishel
Yeah, no, we didn't have to do that.
Will Friedle
Okay, cool.
Ryder Strong
I love the honesty.
Will Friedle
You guys have been going for.
Jensen Karp
Nine?
Tanya Ra
Yeah, maybe eight.
Danielle Fishel
I think.
Ryder Strong
Eight.
Danielle Fishel
We started in 2017. Eight. Nine. Something. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.
Ryder Strong
That's impressive.
Tanya Ra
So we've. I mean, we've done a lot from Vegas, actually.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah.
Tanya Ra
If you think about it, were all.
Ryder Strong
Of your flights as awful as the flight today was? Never really tell us about the flight because we. You. You alluded to it before you sat down.
Tanya Ra
So we landed literally, I think less than an hour ago. But.
Ryder Strong
Lovely.
Tanya Ra
Thank you so much. Thank you. But we. We were like coming down and it was so bumpy. And my husband's so lovely. He like grabs my hand. He's like, it's just like a speed bump on you're fire. And it's not so much that it, like I'm worried. It just makes me so ill. So I just feel very like.
Ryder Strong
Sick to your tummy?
Tanya Ra
Yeah, sick to my tummy.
Danielle Fishel
That's what Vegas is like in your 30s. You know, it's not the alcohol, it's the flight in.
Tanya Ra
Haley fly with their pillows. Like they brought a giant suitcase because they can't sleep without their pillows.
Danielle Fishel
I'm like, we don't get us under the bus. No need to throw us under the bus right off the.
Ryder Strong
I have to tell you, I. I sleep with a pillow called a pillow cube at home because I'm a side sleeper. And so. Okay, so it's one of the. As you know, then as a side sleeper, one of the hardest parts of finding a pillow is that if you're on your side, you need it to like, kind of be a rectangle shape. So because you want it to go against your shoulder and support your neck and not, you know, if you like, kind of a bunch of pillow when you sleep on your side. Oh, this is the shape of a cube. Anyway, it's wonderful. Once I found a pillow cube, I was like, finally I can sleep well on my side. And then I talked about it on the podcast once, and they sent me a travel one. It's memory foam. You roll it up, it sucks all the air out of it, and you can put it in your carry.
Tanya Ra
So.
Ryder Strong
My pillow, it comes then in its own case. Oh, my gosh.
Danielle Fishel
Wow.
Ryder Strong
And they make them depending on how tall you are and how. How big the diff. The distance is between your neck and your shoulder yourself. Exactly. They have two different sizes, so I'm one. I'm on the smaller side because I'm only five. One. Anyway, it's fantastic. Brought to you by. It's changed my life as far as being able to travel with my pillow because I used to just not sleep anywhere.
Danielle Fishel
That's how I feel. And we actually have just come off of a. We had like a summer cold. And so we were like, sleep is like very important right now. And even if we have to bring a huge luggage for less than 24 hours, it's worth it.
Will Friedle
Did you have sinusitis?
Jensen Karp
Yeah.
Will Friedle
So I know a little bit about.
Ryder Strong
Are you joking?
Tanya Ra
Are you?
Ryder Strong
No. And so does Jensen. My husband also had sinusitis.
Will Friedle
Three months it took me to get over it. Okay, five rounds of antibiotics and three rounds. I'm on my second. Okay, so it just lingers?
Ryder Strong
Yeah. Jensen had it for five months.
Tanya Ra
Wait, this is really funny, because I thought she was, like, being dramatic. I was like, throw some Tylenol.
Will Friedle
Let's get to work.
Danielle Fishel
She was like, take a wellness shot. I'm like, you don't understand. This is not something a wellness shot's gonna help. I need something strong. Oh, my God. I wanted to just pop my eyes out and massage them.
Will Friedle
So just so you know, it sucks.
Danielle Fishel
Okay, so two more months to make.
Will Friedle
It seem like, hey, you're gonna be fine. You will be eventually. But, oh, yeah, you had to take.
Ryder Strong
Steroids in order for it to get better.
Will Friedle
Two or three rounds.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah. Okay.
Jensen Karp
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
Well, when the doctor said sinusitis, I was like, this sou Made up. There's no way sinusitis is not a Pixar, like, cartoon.
Ryder Strong
Exactly. Exactly.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah. Okay. Wow. I empathize with you and you empathize with me.
Will Friedle
It's the worst.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah.
Will Friedle
Yeah. They wanted me to get.
Ryder Strong
Worried about it. I've been around. Are you kidding? I've traveled with him. We've been everywhere.
Will Friedle
The three of us are just at this point, one of us gets something. He's sick all the time.
Jensen Karp
Will, if Shinusitis is a Pixar character, what's his voice sound like?
Ryder Strong
Well, he'd be totally this. What's this theme song? Oh, God, I don't even know what we. It's not the plus or the minus, cuz it's all about my s.
Danielle Fishel
That's really amazing. A hidden.
Ryder Strong
Can't do that enough. You're right. Good things happen when you put him on the spot.
Danielle Fishel
That would take me months to figure out how y' all sleeps for sure. Actually, we've been looking for a new scrubbing in intro, so we might have found our sword captain.
Ryder Strong
Sinusitis.
Tanya Ra
It's not about.
Will Friedle
It's not about vodka. It's not about gin. It's just about scrubbing.
Jensen Karp
Holy cow.
Will Friedle
There you go.
Ryder Strong
Look at that.
Jensen Karp
It's not even that good, but it's the quickness that you're like, oh, it rhymes.
Ryder Strong
And it sounds.
Will Friedle
Then you think about it where you're.
Ryder Strong
Like, my show doesn't have anything to do with vodka or gin. Let it rhyme.
Jensen Karp
It's alacrity, though. It's just stunning. His brain is like.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah, yeah.
Ryder Strong
Wow.
Danielle Fishel
I'm gonna give you till the end.
Tanya Ra
Of this podcast to come up with one more, but I'll use both of them.
Will Friedle
Okay, great.
Danielle Fishel
I'll use it.
Tanya Ra
We'll literally use it next week. Like, not even, Jo.
Danielle Fishel
Like, we'll get you to sign off on it.
Will Friedle
That'll be fine.
Ryder Strong
Yeah, it'll be fine.
Danielle Fishel
We'll figure it out.
Ryder Strong
Well, now, usually when we do these Pod Swaps, which they both hate the name of, we like to play a game called Talking Point. This one is the big laughs edition. So I'm going to ask us all a few questions. Thank you. You're so sweet. You're like, hey, do you want any help doing some things? Okay. Our first question is, what's the implication that we never.
Will Friedle
It was. It was a weird shot across the back.
Jensen Karp
Would you like me to do the cards?
Will Friedle
I would love.
Ryder Strong
No, no, no, It's.
Danielle Fishel
It's good.
Ryder Strong
Welcome to Cotton Twins. I'm just saying it's nice to be around women sometimes. Just noticing.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah.
Ryder Strong
Oh, I would be the checker.
Tanya Ra
Two guys. I would be so panicked.
Ryder Strong
You know what?
Tanya Ra
You guys are wonderful.
Ryder Strong
They are wonderful. And this one in particular, no offense to you, but this one in particular is so gentlemanly. Constant. Always puts up my suitcase. Constantly takes my suitcase down. I never have to worry. Make sure I walk on the inside of the street so he walks on the outside. So they're both. They're both just delightful. O. Here's our first question. What is one thing you and your friends used to do as kids or teenagers, thinking it was super cool, but now it just makes you cringe?
Jensen Karp
Got everything?
Will Friedle
Yeah.
Ryder Strong
Cabueta.
Jensen Karp
Cabueta.
Will Friedle
Ah, there you go.
Jensen Karp
Hacky sacking.
Will Friedle
Devil sticks.
Jensen Karp
I didn't do devil sticks.
Will Friedle
Oh, yeah, I did devil sticks.
Jensen Karp
Juggling.
Will Friedle
Juggling. Yeah.
Jensen Karp
No, I mean, I don't know, because I did play magic a lot, which I still think is cool. And I did it.
Ryder Strong
So cool. Yeah.
Will Friedle
I'd say smoking, but I got.
Ryder Strong
I love it.
Will Friedle
And I missed it.
Ryder Strong
So hot Knight.
Tanya Ra
As a teenager.
Ryder Strong
Oh. Oh. He had been smoking for several years by the time he became a teenager.
Will Friedle
I was pretty close to a pack a day smoker by the time I was 11.
Danielle Fishel
Oh, wow.
Ryder Strong
It's cool.
Will Friedle
So it was cool. Let me tell you something, though. That first smoke after nap time, Amazing. No idea.
Jensen Karp
Cigarette taste bad?
Ryder Strong
It is. Seriously. Oh, My God.
Tanya Ra
So why did you quit?
Ryder Strong
Like death.
Jensen Karp
Fear of death.
Ryder Strong
Fear of death. It took a long time though.
Jensen Karp
It took a long time.
Ryder Strong
How long did she smoke?
Will Friedle
25, 30 years, something like that.
Ryder Strong
Yeah.
Will Friedle
I'm now 11 years without a cigarette, which is.
Ryder Strong
This sounds crazy. This is the longest time in his whole life he's ever gone without smoking, including the first years of his life. Cuz he started smoking at 10. So.
Will Friedle
I had my first cigarette at 8 years old with Heather Husmer. And I looked at her and I said, I'm going to do this for the rest of my life. And he made it to my first dragon. And then by 11, I was a heavy smoker and I smoked from really. So 10 to 35, 37. Who's selling you?
Ryder Strong
Who are you giving it to?
Will Friedle
Anybody I want.
Tanya Ra
Are you European?
Ryder Strong
No, no, no. Are you European.
Will Friedle
Because I started drinking wine. No, I'm kidding. No, it was. No, nobody.
Tanya Ra
Can I ask you a question?
Ryder Strong
Of course.
Tanya Ra
So do you like drink Diet Cokes or like Coke Zeros now or do you have anything like. Like, like to take the edge off?
Will Friedle
Oh, no, I still smoke weed.
Tanya Ra
Oh, okay.
Will Friedle
So that, I mean, that helps take the edge off. And I like to sip a bourbon every day.
Danielle Fishel
I'm kidding.
Will Friedle
Every once in a while. But no, no, no. So yeah, I didn't trade one vice for another.
Tanya Ra
Everybody says that's like addicted to Diet Coke. They always say it's like being addicted to cigarettes.
Will Friedle
Well, no, it's funny. I haven't done caffeine in 20 years.
Danielle Fishel
Oh.
Will Friedle
So no, I can't do because I deal with anxiety.
Jensen Karp
But you used to drink Cokes like crazy. Oh, yeah, I got drinking Cokes like he was.
Will Friedle
Yeah, they cut me off. I drink a case of Coke a day back.
Jensen Karp
Not Diet Coke.
Will Friedle
No, regular coke. So a case is what, 24. Have 24 Cokes a day. Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
Some would argue the real sugar is better than the aspartame.
Ryder Strong
I know. Yeah.
Jensen Karp
Most.
Will Friedle
Most would argue I was dying slowly though.
Danielle Fishel
I think the cigarettes from age 10 were.
Will Friedle
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
The issue. The Diet Cokes. The Cokes were just.
Will Friedle
Yeah. I don't recommend smoking.
Tanya Ra
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
So that.
Ryder Strong
That could be considered cringe. Yeah.
Will Friedle
Oh, yeah.
Ryder Strong
You could call that writer had a couple capoetta hacky sacking.
Jensen Karp
Sure.
Ryder Strong
Becca. Tanya. What about what?
Tanya Ra
Honestly, everything I did as a kid was like amazing.
Danielle Fishel
Oh, I was. I thought she was gonna say I cringe. I should have known. I literally should have known.
Jensen Karp
You were just a cool teenager.
Tanya Ra
Yeah, I was just like. I wasn't Cool. But I thought I was. And like, I don't look back and cringe. Like, I'm like, I was just awesome, right?
Ryder Strong
Wow. I was just awesome.
Danielle Fishel
That's amazing.
Jensen Karp
That's great for you.
Tanya Ra
Like, I don't know.
Danielle Fishel
I mean, I think I, like, you know what I immediately went to were those chokers you wore around your neck, but not chokers. But they were like.
Tanya Ra
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
Like soft, stretchy.
Tanya Ra
Like they could be like a hair tie.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah. Like, it wasn't actually meant for the neck.
Tanya Ra
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
I just looked back and I was like, that wasn't great. I have a lot of cringe. I, I. You, you caught me off guard because it's. I don't have the memory that Tanya has of herself as being awesome.
Ryder Strong
Right. You're like, I have too many things to pull from.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah. It's too overwhelming. So I'm going with my soft chokers.
Ryder Strong
Okay. Soft chokers. Danielle, I. As a, As a small child, my best friend Jessica and I used to put together dances and we would then. No. No, it isn't. Do you have children?
Will Friedle
No.
Ryder Strong
Okay. Let me tell you something. I'm yet to be impressed by something my children want me to see. They are always saying, hey, mom, check this out. And I turn her on. What the is that? I didn't need to see that. That's not good. Don't do that again. And so I know now that I was doing that to my teachers and then we would on performing them for our class.

Ryder Strong
So, like, that's.
Will Friedle
Did someone sketch it? Have you seen pictures of.
Ryder Strong
I just know it was like, my. Our teachers were like, again, here they are. We have no dance experience. We weren't even in dance class. It was just the two of us. Like, I don't know, like, what are we doing? Like, it was just awful. I know. That was class.

Jensen Karp
I think that's a safer way to go because we talked about this as pre show chatter once and it was like a lot of major historical events would actually be not fun to see something or people dying or, you know, but so, yeah, you want to think of something that would be nice.
Ryder Strong
There was one person's a good way to go on American Idol when Ryan Seacrest went to high five a blind kid. And I wanted to see that. I want to be careful. I. It's on video. I want to be in the room for it.
Jensen Karp
Did they pulled it from the show?
Danielle Fishel
Oh, it is a meme.
Tanya Ra
It's a meme.
Ryder Strong
Yeah. He was like, ah. And. And then he was like, yeah. And I. I just want to be in the room when that happens.
Will Friedle
I want to go back in time to watch Danielle. Say that again. That's the one I picked.
Jensen Karp
Anybody else?
Will Friedle
Anybody got anything?
Tanya Ra
This is a hard one because there's so many. Like, there's just so much you. I feel like I would. I would want to relive my wedding day.
Will Friedle
I was just gonna say you get to relive it.
Tanya Ra
Yeah.
Will Friedle
Are you just watching?
Tanya Ra
It was such a. Like, you kind of black out a little bit, so I'd like to see it from, like, a bird's eye view.
Ryder Strong
It's such a good idea. I still like mine better, but that's a good idea.
Will Friedle
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
I would like to go back to the night I met my fiance and be, like, observing us meeting because it was like, at a. A party, and it was chaos, and I had had a few shots, and so I was like, I'd like to go back and witness. See our interaction, see the chemistry where it blends.
Jensen Karp
They're both so romantic. I know you're in the season of.
Ryder Strong
Love.
Jensen Karp
You know, but actually that inspired me. I would go back to my parents meeting. That would be a cool.
Will Friedle
Do you not watch Back to the Future? You stumble, you trip, you knock the.
Jensen Karp
Whole thing over, and you don't mess it up. So, yeah.
Ryder Strong
Come on.
Jensen Karp
You gotta be careful. Just a witness. Like, I'm like a ghost so I can't actually affect you because, if memory.
Will Friedle
Serves, when we did it on the pod, you said you'd want to go back to maybe see a Shakespeare play.
Ryder Strong
Yes.
Jensen Karp
Or listen, a great concert, you know, from history.
Ryder Strong
Yeah, yeah.
Will Friedle
Woodstock or something like that would be kind of.
Jensen Karp
I don't know about Woodstock, but I would find.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah, I would maybe go back to Britney Spears concert. I never got to see her live.
Tanya Ra
Oh, no. That's a shame.
Will Friedle
Be so weird. You go back in time to just wait in line. It takes forever to get in here. This is the worst time machine ever.
Danielle Fishel
Like.
Will Friedle
Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
Don't make it to the actual show.
Ryder Strong
I just traveled through time for this. Yeah. All right. What is the naughtiest thing you got caught doing as a kid? And what was the fallout?
Danielle Fishel
Oh, I was such a good. I was like, I grew up in the South. I grew up very Christian. I was like, such a goody tissue. I'm trying to think. I mean, I cheated once. I got called by the principal. Oh, you know what the naughtiest thing I did? So there was a song, this Christmas song, and it's about this mom or this child who's trying to buy these shoes for his mom because she's sick and she's dying. And so he's like, can't afford the shoes, but he's saying, like, I want to buy these shoes. It's like a beautiful Christmas story. Well, we had to submit an original story for Christmas. I was in middle school, and I submit. I just kind of played off the song, right.
Will Friedle
Plagiarized.
Danielle Fishel
I plagiarized the song, and I won the contest. And my mom was, like, mortified because she knew the song, and she was like, becca. And I'm like, they don't know what I won. A blue ribbon is a blue ribbon.
Ryder Strong
So then for that, there really was no fallout, just a blue ribbon.
Danielle Fishel
No, there wasn't. Well, I mean, it's not get caught caught. I mean, if I got caught, then someone was just like, gotta give her credit, because, yeah, she won without anyone knowing.
Ryder Strong
So just her mom, who was like, oh, this is embarrassing. Yeah, my child's in the life of crime. What about you, writer? You were a. You were a real rule follower as a kid.
Jensen Karp
Totally. I do remember the one time I stole, and it was like. Because we were going to see a play that my brother was in, and there was some friend of a friend. It was a guy I didn't know, a kid I didn't know. And for whatever reason, we went to the store, we stopped at the store with him before going. And there was a candy that was open, like a candy bag somebody had ripped open. And he was like, ryder, let's steal. And I was like, oh, okay. Because I was like, trying to be cool to this kid I didn't know or whatever. And we stuffed our pockets with the candy. And then like during the play, sitting there eating the candy and I felt so bad. I couldn't. Just like, so much guilt. And I never. Yeah, I could never steal anything ever again. Like, I was only like nine, but it was just like, the guilt was so bad.
Will Friedle
Yeah.
Jensen Karp
So the fallout was shame.
Ryder Strong
Yeah. Did you ever do anything naughty as a kid? I did.
Tanya Ra
I'll never forget it. It was one. I was only naughty one time.
Ryder Strong
Okay.
Danielle Fishel
Oh, please.
Ryder Strong
There's no awesome all the time and naughty once.
Tanya Ra
Yeah. Remember that.
Ryder Strong
Okay.
Tanya Ra
But I'll never forget it because it was so bad. And I'll never forget how disappointed my dad was. And like, that is, like, what rocks me to this day. But we. I was in eighth grade and we were like, leaving the school and we had a really big test the next day and it was like, me and three girls and the.
Ryder Strong
Our.
Tanya Ra
Like, our classroom window was, like, open. My friend crawled through the classroom window to get the test so that we could.
Danielle Fishel
Yeah, it's bad.
Tanya Ra
That's really bad.
Jensen Karp
TGIF I was gonna take. This is an episode of Boy we told. You snuck into the classroom, started the fire.
Tanya Ra
Yeah. And then I think she told too many people. We told too many people because we totally got caught. The principal. Yeah. And then it was eighth grade, so we had like, my. It was all graduated stuff and like, my dad was so disappointed in me and I'll literally never forget it. So I never did anything like that ever again.
Danielle Fishel
Oh, no.
Tanya Ra
Even in college when it was easy to cheat.
Danielle Fishel
You're a rule follower too, though. I'm such a rule.
Tanya Ra
Could you imagine me doing that?
Danielle Fishel
Kinda. You were like, wild in high school. I feel like you're. What? Your high school was wild. Yeah. Yeah. She had black hair. Her name. She goes by Tanya, but her legal name name is Tatiana and she was very Tatiana. So when I associate Tanya is like. Like doing mischief. I think of Tatiana.
Tanya Ra
That's right.
Ryder Strong
What about you, Will?
Will Friedle
I cheated on most of my smelling tests and smelling. Smelling.
Danielle Fishel
Okay, I said smelling.
Jensen Karp
Testing.
Will Friedle
Did I? Well, spelling test. And to this day, I still can't spell.
Jensen Karp
Oh, I know I spell Smelling.
Ryder Strong
Smelling.
Danielle Fishel
There you go.
Will Friedle
My spelling test. Yeah. No, I still. That's my repercussions.
Ryder Strong
Did you Ever get. No.
Jensen Karp
Yeah, but who needs to spell anymore?
Will Friedle
There was a huge chunk of time there where spelling was kind of important and I couldn't do it.
Ryder Strong
So. Yeah, I still can't in junior high, you know, I didn't like science. I don't like science. I've never liked science. It's just the worst I did. Yeah.
Danielle Fishel
Vulnerable.
Ryder Strong
I failed chemistry the first time I took it, and then the next time I took it, it. My teacher had a. Maybe it wasn't chemistry. It was because it was a junior high, and I took chemistry in high school, so I don't know what science. It was just one of the sciences in junior high, and the teacher had a rule that if you got less than a C on a test, you got the chance to do a makeup test during lunch, like, the next day. And so I pretty quickly realized, oh, and then before he let you take the test, he would let you review the test, the test with all your wrong answers. He didn't give you the correct answers, but you got a chance to look at the test. Yeah, it was very. It was.
Will Friedle
Why would anybody take the test on the regular day? Why wouldn't you just.
Ryder Strong
Well, you have to take it on the regular day. I would always purposely fail it. And. Well, or maybe I would just fail. But then I realized it was this exact same test you took again, and it was a scantron test. So I would just memorize all 50 answers by telling myself a story with the first letter of the scantron thing. So, like. Like, bees can't decide about.
Tanya Ra
Yeah.
Ryder Strong
Oh, wow. Brisket. And I would just tell myself that story.
Will Friedle
I think you learned more doing that than you did.
Ryder Strong
And then I would go through football. Then I'd be like, well, I have to get a couple wrong. So then I just go through and change and change a couple of them. And then I turned it in, and I thought I was getting away with it because he never said anything. And then at the end of the school year, he said, I know what you've been doing. And I was waiting for him to be like, and so I'm not giving you. And he was just like. Like, I know exactly you've been memorizing.
Danielle Fishel
Huh?
Ryder Strong
And I was like, yeah. And telling myself a story. He's like, all right. I thought so. And that was it. He just let me do it.
Danielle Fishel
Well, I think if you had put that effort into studying for the test.
Ryder Strong
I could never. I could never.
Danielle Fishel
He was like, you put an equal amount of effort as everyone else. So I'm going to let you also.
Ryder Strong
I think he pretty much was like, we was pretty sure I was not going to go into the science field. It was just like, you know what.
Jensen Karp
Let'S just let this.
Ryder Strong
Let's just let you go past.
Danielle Fishel
You said for her, memorizing is more important for her career.
Tanya Ra
Yeah, that's so true, actually.
