Overview

In this special impromptu episode, the Smosh Mouth team—Shayne Topp (Shane), Angela Giarratana, and guest co-host Damien Haas—turn their “Try Not to Laugh” (TNTL) challenge into a meta-podcast game. The trio banter about comedy, competition, and their own dynamic as they attempt, with varying success, to keep a straight face for an hour. What ensues is a blend of playful rivalry, genuine conversation, and the uniquely silly chemistry fans expect from Smosh.

Key Discussion Points and Segments

1. Setting Up the Try Not to Laugh Challenge

[02:23 – 09:00]

• The scheduled guest (jokingly "Dolly Parton") couldn’t make it, so the team decides to do a TNTL “hard mode” episode, where not laughing is the main objective.
• Angela claims she's determined not to laugh at all: “I am going to completely win. I decided in the bathroom. I will win.” [03:27]
• The crew teases the stakes, eventually betting real cash on surviving the episode without laughing. Shane offers $20 to anyone who makes it through.
• Damien notes, “I do laugh a lot when I have either caffeine or sugar...right before this, I took a spoonful of honey.” [05:31]
• Multiple meta-layers: Trying not to laugh while trying to make the others laugh, keeping score, and joking about how diminishing laughter could “ruin the vibe.”

2. The Art and Absurdity of Not Laughing

[09:10 – 18:00]

• The group attempts “deadpan” humor, lampooning ad reads and absurd premises (e.g., “this episode is brought to you by my stinky vag.” [08:57])
• They riff on making themselves laugh vs. making each other laugh, with odd, cringey, or intentionally unfunny lines.
• A running bit emerges: Angela as the stoic, Damien the wild card, Shane as the referee.
• The tension of "not laughing" leads to awkward, hilarious pauses, with references to physical comedy, inside Smosh jokes, and mock-seriousness.

3. Comedy, Cringe, and Watching Yourself Back

[12:54 – 14:10]

• Angela reflects on being “cringe” during Summer Games, feeling self-conscious about her competitive, loud persona.
• Damien empathizes, sharing his own experience of dialing back on-camera energy, and the challenge of “letting yourself care” without over-analyzing.
• The hosts discuss balancing authenticity with performing for an audience, both on Smosh and in their wider creative lives.

4. Bizarre Animal Game, “Fake or Real?”

[39:58 – 44:17]

• Damien and Shane quiz Angela on animal knowledge, inventing creatures and referencing real ones (e.g., “sunfish, howler monkey, durungi”).
• Angela successfully identifies which animal is fake, sparking jokes about her “not knowing animals,” leading to the idea of filming her at the zoo.
  • Angela: “Say three things. Make one of them a fake animal…” [40:12]
  • Shane: “Sunfish. Howler monkey. Durungi.” [40:34]
  • Angela: “Durungi is not real!” [41:14]
• This morphs into more “two truths and a lie”-style games, including musicals, cars, and Final Fantasy characters.

5. Silly Personal Anecdotes

[44:29 – 47:42; 23:03 – 24:50]

• Angela tells stories about her brother weaponizing farts to the horror of babysitters and her dad, who once made her brother walk home because of it.
  • Angela: “He gets a running start, jumps his ass in her face, farts, lands.” [45:01]
  • Shane: “Your brother is the Banksy of flatulence.” [45:08]
• Laughing about childhood embarrassment and the levels of fart-related shame.

6. Decorating Spaces and Authentic Aesthetics

[35:37 – 38:49]

• Angela shares that her artist friend painted a mural in her apartment and questions if it’s “too artistic” for her vibe.
• Damien and Shane discuss wearing clothes or decorating with items that feel "too cool" for their comfort zones.
  • Angela: “Apartment looks like I have really good taste in music. And I simply don't.” [36:59]

7. Philosophy of Laughter, Creativity, and Boredom

[29:20 – 30:19]

• Shane discusses efforts to be less online to regain creative boredom: “I need to be bored. I need to be uncomfortable. I need to have those times where I'm like, I don't know what to do with myself.” [29:50]
• Angela suggests intentionally seeking novelty in real life or online to break out of creative ruts, referencing TikTok as a source of character inspiration.

8. Games: Identifying Fake Plays and Characters

[48:12 – 52:07]

• Angela tries to stump Shane and Damien with fake/real theater titles and Final Fantasy characters.
  • Angela: “Let me think of another. Okay, here we go.” [49:36]
  • Shane: “Tell us three fake ones just to balance it out.” [49:37]
• The trio recognize when they’ve gone "too cerebral" for comedy, laughing at their own failure to create plausible fake entries.

9. True Crime, Sports Documentaries, and Unlikely Interests

[57:43 – 60:36]

• Angela confesses to falling asleep to documentaries and true crime, including the O.J. Simpson '30 for 30' series—even though she doesn’t watch football otherwise.
• The group jokes about watching sports only via documentaries and reflects on bewildering, “godlike” athletes.
• Debate over who should headline the next Super Bowl halftime show, with ideas ranging from Miley Cyrus to Frankie Valli, and the classic “two female artists forced together” industry trope.

10. Reflections on Friendship and Vibe

[16:01, 55:08, 59:57]

• Angela, Damien, and Shane frequently break the “bit” to acknowledge how hard it is not to laugh, and how it sometimes prevents genuine enjoyment.
• They also riff on feeling like the “third wheel” in a long-established comedy duo, gently poking fun at group dynamics.
• Warm encouragement and mutual appreciation permeate the final moments.

Transcript

[A]

Is reviewing life insurance on your to do list. Now's the perfect time to add it. A friend recently told me that securing life insurance sooner rather than later can help you lock in lower rates for years to come. So I bumped this up on my list and got it done. I called Select Quote and couldn't believe how easy and affordable life insurance is. I'm 40 and got a $500,000 policy for $16 a month. My husband's also 40, and his $500,000 policy was only $18 a month. Plus with Select Quote, same day coverage. There was no medical, and we recovered by the time we hung up. Knowing I have this checked off my list feels amazing. But the peace of mind knowing my family is protected feels even better.

[C]

I get it wrong every time. Like, I usually am. Say, I'm Damian. Then Amanda goes like. And then like, yeah, gets mad at me.

[B]

But you're. You're your own host. You're doing your own thing.

[A]

And I kind of just say my name and then look over, but I'll do it. I got it. Ready?

[C]

Thanks for having me, Angela.

[A]

What's up, guys?

[C]

Can I be so real? I liked your original way better because it lets me say my name and not just be like. What do I say after that? Yeah, this is Damian.

[B]

I'm like, yup, that's true.

[A]

Yeah. But how are you? What are you doing? How you feeling?

[C]

I'm feeling great. Thank you. I know y' all just filmed an episode before this, just a little, you know, behind the curtains, and I heard laughter the whole time. I want to get on your level. I'm ready to be a goofball, and I'm still waking up.

[B]

So this episode's a little impromptu. We were gonna have a guest today, a guest we're very excited about. They weren't able to make it rhymes with Shali Nartan.

[A]

Dolly Parton was supposed to be. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Okay, Sorry. Go back.

[B]

No, no, no. We're gonna keep that in. Cause that's good, Angela.

[C]

You get one take that out per episode.

[B]

Yeah, you get one take that out and you used it. You fired it off. So you don't get to take anything else.

[A]

How funny would it be if we just said Nick Cage was gonna be here?

[C]

You know what's crazy? I was also thinking the same joke. I was just like. I almost was like, let's just say it was the 42nd President of the United States. And I was like, wait, was Obama 42nd? 42nd. And then that's when you said the Dolly Parton thing. I was like, thank God you did it start over? Yeah.

[B]

No, no, this is good. Welcome to Smash Mouth to. To do this. Cuz we're all here, so we're like, let's just do this Try not to laugh episode. This would be really fun.

[A]

This is my favorite way to do a tntl. It's we have nothing.

[B]

We truly have nothing planned.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What if I pulled out my phone and you realized I had. This was my plan all along?

[C]

Right. You h. Cuz I was going to be vague, but I was like, I'll just use all the jokes I was planning for our guests on you.

[A]

Oh, that's funny. Well, I. I decided something in the bathroom just now.

[B]

Okay. Do you want to. Because the way obviously that we do TNT is we. We kind of like announce when the game.

[A]

Yes. Yes.

[B]

Do you want to save this or is. Are you.

[A]

No, I'm going to say this before.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[C]

I know we're going to start not funny.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Angela had a hard time in the bathroom, wants to tell us about it.

[A]

So I didn't say that. So I didn't say that. You two are drunk.

[B]

Boys are what?

[A]

They're boys.

[B]

Boys. All right. You said we're trunk boys.

[A]

These are boys. It's going to be me in the back of the trunk being like, please be quiet, guys. Mom's trying to drive and you guys in the trunk.

[C]

She's taking those turns real hard.

[A]

You guys are just going to laugh at each other all day in the bathroom. I realized, see, this is it. They're going to. They're going to go. I am going to completely win. I decided in the bathroom. I will win. And I think a winner. All the winner needs to do is decide, right? So I'm deciding that I will walk away from this episode without laughing. And I truly.

[B]

You think you can get through this without laughing once?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Do you think you could do that? Yeah, I already know I can.

[A]

Like, I know we do hard mode and I'M like, let's. Let's do hard. Like, I'm not going to laugh.

[C]

I.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

I feel like. And this is more for Shane, but I'm gonna look at you while saying it. You know how, like, Goku takes off the training weights and you're like, now he's really serious.

[B]

That's piccolo.

[C]

Yeah. That's Rock Lee.

[A]

Say that to me.

[C]

That's Rock Lee. So that's how I feel about the laughing thing. Cause I used to laugh so much in impro that it was a problem, and I, like, couldn't progress, that I had to train myself to not laugh. And I feel like it took away my ability to laugh authentically. Everything you see on Try not to laugh is just to make you feel better.

[A]

Wow. Yeah, I'd argue. I think we all fall into that. Cause as comedians, you want to support, so you laugh. But today I'm playing full bumpers are down. I'm going.

[C]

I once got a zero in fifth grade because of that. And I, like, cried.

[B]

You should have saved that shit for later. That's also playing yet. I know.

[A]

I'm prepped.

[B]

I'm just warming up.

[A]

Warming up.

[C]

Bathroom stuff isn't funny. Bowling stuff isn't funny to the point.

[A]

Where you're actually gonna go, oh, no. If we play TNTL hard mode next time, it actually brings down the energy because I will not be smiling.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I will not be enjoying anything we are about to do.

[B]

Okay, good, good, good. I think this is, like, you're gonna go.

[A]

That was a damper episode because Angela didn't laugh.

[B]

It's not gonna be. It's not gonna be that. Okay, here. Because here's what's gonna happen.

[A]

Okay?

[B]

I'm gonna do my best.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm gonna do my best to not laugh. And I know Damian can. Cause when we did the episode with you and Arasha, you guys both laughed, like, three times together.

[C]

Like, here's the twist, though. I'm throwing a wrench in the situation counter to what I just said. I do laugh a lot when I have either caffeine or sugar. Can't do caffeine anymore. But right before this, I took a spoonful of honey. I'm never beating the bumblebee allegations. And I am feeling the sugar come up a little bit, and I'm feeling a little giggly. So maybe this time. Maybe this time I will giggle.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

You don't know, though.

[B]

All right, well, because I was gonna say this. On top of this. On top of this, you say you're not Gonna laugh once. You might laugh a little bit.

[C]

I think I'll laugh like twice.

[B]

Okay. Only twice?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I think a sub game. Cause I'm gonna do my best. But we could also keep tally of who's making me laugh the most.

[A]

Mm.

[B]

Just so you're also trying to. You gotta. You're not. You're trying not to laugh, but you're also trying to make me laugh.

[A]

Oh, that feels okay. That's gonna bring out some shit. Okay. It might be sloppy, but here we go.

[B]

But ultimately I'm gonna make some jokes you should make. Ultimately, the real goal is not to laugh.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[B]

You're saying you're not gonna laugh once.

[A]

I believe from the beginning to the end. What? It's an hour. I won't laugh.

[B]

Okay. I'm. I'm so curious.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How many times do you wanna make a bet?

[A]

You're gonna be like, oh, God. It was like hosting with like a towel. Like, I'm not going to give you any.

[B]

But here's the thing. Here's the thing, Angela. Aside from the competition, you're not going to laugh once. How many times do you think you can make me laugh in the hour.

[A]

While also not laughing once? I think I'll be lucky if I get two.

[C]

I think you'll get more than that in.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

I will also say if either of us breaks really hard, that is also going to be a shame.

[B]

Laugh. Oh, yeah, yeah. No, once you. When. If you do laugh, I will laugh because I know you're. It's going to take all your strength not to laugh.

[C]

I'm seeing the gears turning right now, and it looks like we haven't started and it looks like you're in pain.

[A]

You know when you see like you're watching sports. Here I go.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Talking about sports.

[C]

Yeah. Which Shane and I were just talking about that before stream started. I've been playing a sports game on my phone.

[A]

Good for you.

[C]

But it's really good.

[A]

But you know when you see like.

[B]

The support you do.

[A]

I'm gonna be fine. I'm gonna be fine. I'm literally. This is literally gonna be so easy. I actually want to like, put money down because I'll make money.

[B]

How much? How much?

[A]

Let's put down $100.

[B]

Whoa, whoa. That's a lot.

[A]

That's a lot of money. I said that and I did not mean that.

[C]

Angela. Are we putting down a hundred dollars?

[A]

No, we're put down $10.

[C]

$10. Can you break 100?

[B]

It's all I've got. Holy shit.

[A]

But I'm doing what the batter's doing before they go out, and they're just like.

[B]

If you go. If you get through this entire episode without laughing, I will give you 20 bucks.

[C]

Whoa.

[B]

Yeah. I'll give you 20 bucks.

[A]

Let's start. I mean, like, let's just stop.

[B]

All right.

[C]

I need a good laugh, and I'm a little disappointed that I won't be able to this time, but okay.

[B]

I'll give 20 bucks to anyone who doesn't laugh this entire episode. So that's $40. I might be losing total. I'm not placing that bet on myself. Wouldn't it be so I know myself well enough?

[C]

Wouldn't it be so funny, Angela, if right now I was like, what if it was just to the charity of our choice, knowing full well that now you don't get $20 because you look really bad?

[A]

Sure. Like, it's actually going to be a problem for the tone.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because you're gonna be always gonna be popping.

[B]

People are gonna be in. People are gonna be locked in.

[A]

Let's go.

It's like, you have awakened me. I will grant you three wishes. I wish you'd have called me. Listen, it's complicated. See, like, it's like a setup for like a thing.

[A]

I like that.

I wish they had a thing.

[A]

I wish we went back to how it used to be. I wish we didn't have the kids.

[B]

Yeah, that is like, oh, yeah, that'd be really good.

[C]

And it sucks because, like, that wish didn't immediately happen and it brings in some like, questions of like, does the genie have other rules?

[B]

Right, Right.

[C]

Well, that was so.

[A]

That was.

[B]

That was a little bit. That was a little bit. Okay, I'll take that. I'll take that.

[A]

You're going to smoke me? You're going to kill him.

[B]

Oh, that's fine. Look, that's. There's no money. There's no money on that. That's just for pride.

[A]

What if I tickled you right now?

[B]

No.

[A]

You want it. So I, I'm already being too cringe and I have to stop.

[C]

It's. It's not cringe. It just feels cringe when we say things like that. And no one can laugh because usually your friends are there with a little.

[B]

Chuckle to be like, I hear you.

[C]

That was.

[A]

There's nothing worse than saying like, can I tickle you? And it's like.

[B]

And then you're met with nothing.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, like you've never dated.

[B]

Like, you, you, you, you ask. You Pose that question to the void, and the void does not answer back.

[A]

Yeah. And that's, like, it's.

[C]

It's a struggle, but sometimes it looks back and you're, like, neat.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And the little eyes.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

Little. Little messed up.

[B]

Pretty cool. Yeah. Pretty good look. I think we're in a. We're in a bit of a standstill here.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I. I think we can have a genuine. We're still allowed to have genuine conversation.

[A]

Conversation. 100%. Yeah. I. I can't really speak, and I'm just gonna relax.

[B]

We're in a place where we're just trying to say jokes. We're trying not to laugh. Let's just get into just. What. What do we want to talk about? Like, what's going on right now?

[A]

I've been watching summer games.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it's. It's been really hard for me to watch myself because I am so ridiculously cringe in, like, a way where it's just, like, I know I'm a normal amount of cringe on day to day. Like, we all are.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

But this is like. Like, it's so clear. I didn't grow up with sports because there is something being unleashed. Disgusting. And so loud and so hard. Like, even my whole thing, like a baby. Like, what was I.

[C]

That one I was about to be really. That one was tricky.

[A]

Yeah. No one went like, yeah. Hey, hey. Like, this isn't bad. Funny. This is not. This is bad.

[C]

So here's the thing, Angela, from someone. Because I used to do a lot of summer games back in the day in different summers, and they. I also would have that, like, amped up, competitive vibe.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Because I'm like, oh, that's the game. That's what we're supposed to do. And then I would watch it back, and I, like, hate it. I'd be like, oh, my God, that's so cringy. And like, ah, People think I'm too competitive. And then I, like, let that all go away. And now I'm like, man, I miss, like, letting myself care a little bit. Like, you're not gonna make everybody happy all the time.

[A]

Oh. And I'm not trying to.

[B]

It's a tricky balance. Yeah. It's a very tricky balance.

[A]

Yeah. I was just watching it back, and I was like, I can't even take.

[B]

This, but, oh, I wouldn't on me. And I think you can know. Like, I think it's important to remember, like, what you did was. Was fine. And no matter how cringe you think it was, like, it does not compare to how cringe you probably actually were in high school.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Did you.

[C]

You did theater, right?

[A]

Yeah. And let's talk about it.

[C]

Yeah, let's wait for Godot.

[B]

That was cool.

[A]

It was cool.

[B]

You know, with our kind of back and forth little Neil lebue vibes here.

[A]

Neil abute.

[C]

Neil abute.

[B]

Labute.

[A]

It's like.

[B]

Like the mesa hate to refute them.

[C]

Oh, we're talking about the shape of things.

[B]

Oh, talk about set serve. Spike. You know what I mean?

[C]

Spike Jones.

[A]

Oh, he's gonna be dead. He's. There's no way.

[B]

No, don't worry about that.

[C]

Yeah, don't.

[B]

You don't worry about that. Focus on your.

[A]

The.

[B]

You're not going to laugh.

[A]

Here's my. Thing is.

[B]

And I threw an insult at you, and you held your ground.

[A]

Yeah. I don't think either of you can even do it. I think you're. You're going to make each other.

[B]

Look, that's the best.

[A]

I know, but that's what I'm saying is you're asking me to tally it up, how much I'm going to make you laugh. I'm like, what's your talent?

[B]

Okay, I believe you. I think it's going to be better off for this episode if I'm handing you $20 at the end of this. I think people are going to want to see that happen because I don't.

[C]

Think they believe it's an audio podcast.

[B]

Are you crying on command right now? See, because I. I will say, like, are you able to, like, be here with us and also not laugh, or.

[A]

Do you really present? No, I'm being really present.

[B]

No, I just think it's, like, hard.

[A]

To hang out with two people who have known each other for so long, and I'm just, like, trying to be a part of the conversation. Oh, me.

[B]

When I'm hanging out with you and Chance.

[A]

Oh, literally go yourself.

[C]

You guys get to hang out. Can I. I feel like I don't get to hang out with you. You guys, at all. After this.

[A]

We gotta hang.

[C]

We do. We've never done it.

[A]

We have hung out.

[C]

Never once.

[A]

You're trying to make me laugh.

[C]

I'm being so.

[A]

And I know.

[B]

I see the technique.

[C]

I.

[B]

It's like, don't go for the laugh. Go for, like, real genuine.

[C]

I'm deeply sad and lonely all the.

[A]

Time, and I don't find any part of that funny because it's so relatable.

[C]

Mmm.

[A]

It's so damn relatable.

[B]

Nice. Getting a little silly there.

[A]

It's a damn relatable.

[B]

That's. That's a good seat. What's gonna be your Icarus trick? How silly can you get? Yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Stitching therapy.

[C]

Icarus trick. What do you mean?

[B]

Well, like, you know, like gluing wings to your back and trying to get.

[A]

Kiss already. Kiss.

[B]

We do.

[C]

And getting dry now.

[B]

We did that a little bit, so.

[C]

And then you land in there.

[B]

We got into the trunk of a car and do it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Kiss.

[C]

Big. Big trunk, though. Lots of space. We choose to be close.

[B]

It's got hydraulics on the back wheels.

[A]

Ideal. I'm actually trying to decide if I want. I'm gonna get a new car. I don't know if I want, like, a big car or small car.

[C]

Well, how big a trunk you looking for? Because we know exactly how big that could be. A Pontiac Aztec. Very flat back.

[B]

Subaru Outback.

[C]

Subaru Outback. You would love a Subaru Outback.

[A]

I want you to give me a bunch of cars, and one of them has to be fake, and I'll figure out which one it is, because I actually don't think, like, Subaru Outback. Sounds like a restaurant. Me.

[B]

Okay, Subaru. You think Subaru Outback is fake?

[A]

No, I. Because you said it, I believe it's true, but now I'm like, give me some fake ones.

[B]

Okay. A Subaru Outback. A Toyota Corolla.

[C]

Pontiac GTO judge.

[B]

A rabbit.

[A]

Yeah, I know. A rabbit isn't a car.

[B]

That is a car.

[C]

That is a car. It's a Volkswagen. Volkswagen GTI used to be known as the Rabbit.

[A]

It's called the. No, it's. That's the nickname. It's not.

[C]

No, it was called the rabbit. It was called the Rabbit. Yeah. Don't you know? James Mom.

[A]

Get her on the phone. Would she call it a rabbit or would she call it.

[B]

Get her on the phone. Let's see if James mom can make you laugh.

[C]

Yeah. James Mom.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

Okay. Mean.

[C]

We. Two kisses. That's it.

[B]

We. We're not being mean here.

[A]

That's funny.

[B]

No, you cannot laugh and also be kind, I think.

[A]

Yeah, it's hard. It's really hard to not laugh at all and try to make you laugh.

[C]

You know what's been helpful to me? I'm smiling, like, I'm definitely not gonna laugh, but I'm, like, looking at you.

[B]

Wide eyes, and I'm smiling for sure. Get that.

[C]

Yeah. I feel like a crazy person.

[B]

Sorry. That was. That was just kind of a laugh. That was like. That was me appreciating the moment. That was a Folgers moment. Whoo. I'm proud of myself because I don't feel like I'm. I don't get many laughs on this podcast when we do gntl.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I feel like I'm here to kind of, like, be a little bit of a ref almost, you know?

[A]

Oh, because you laugh so much or because. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Like, I got. Dude, I got the mobile game for you.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Uma Musume.

[B]

It's great.

[C]

It's sports, dude. It's sports.

[A]

So what is the sport?

[C]

It's horse racing. It's all horse racing.

[A]

And you're the horse racing.

[C]

No, you're the coach. You're coaching and training.

[A]

Coaching?

[C]

Yeah. You're basically training up these horses like Seabiscuit. They do look. They are anime women, but they are horses. Like, they're not people, they're horses.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

Yeah. And that's the whole thing.

[A]

Are you all nodding like you know what he's talking?

[C]

Because it's actually great.

[A]

Anime horses.

[C]

I had a bunch of friends download it, and I was just like, oh, I.

[A]

It.

[C]

It's a meme. We're all doing it. And then I downloaded it, and I'm like, oh, this is genuinely so good.

[A]

So what are you doing? How are you coaching? Are you going faster? Faster?

[C]

Like, you choose, like, how they train each day. Like, whether they're going to the track, whether they build up stamina, whether they are, like, you know, training their mentals and learning skills by, like, you know, practicing writing and all that stuff.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Like, they're functioning like people, but they're. I can't emphasize this enough. They're horses.

[B]

A Toyota Prius, a Honda Accord, or Marisha Hargit.

[A]

You'Re gonna make yourself.

[B]

I was at the gym, and. I was at the gym in Law and Order. This is Ernest. Can I have a real story real quick? This is the gym. I was at the gym. I was on the treadmill, and Law and Order was playing on one of the TVs, and it was just going through the credits, dead silent.

[C]

They have TVs at the gym?

[B]

Yeah. Fuck.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

Okay, I'm sorry. Okay, sorry. What I'm about to say is not gonna matter now.

[C]

I'm sorry I stole your. I sniped your joke.

[A]

That was crazy.

[C]

So sorry.

[A]

I almost was proud that you were gonna do it. You know what I mean? Like, that was. That was fucking funny. Okay, so tell us about your story.

[B]

It doesn't really matter much now. I was on the treadmill And Law and Order. The credits were showing and Marisha Hargitay came up, and I just. I actually laughed out loud on the treadmill. Just like. I was like, I forgot I seen that name my whole life, but I was like, that's a funny.

[C]

Who is that?

[B]

Marisha Hargitay.

[C]

You said it differently than you said it before. Which is it?

[B]

Because it's different every time.

[A]

Hop in, my Marisha Hargitay.

[B]

Yeah, exactly. How's your day going, Marisha Hargitay.

[C]

Oh, my God. Well, is she okay?

[B]

No, she got Marisha Hargitayed.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Well, God bless your keeper who enjoy your Marisha Hargitay.

[C]

Well, she's in Christ hands now.

[A]

How do you like your matcha?

[C]

Bitter? Tastes like fish kinda.

[A]

Ew.

[C]

Doesn't it? Doesn't match. Have an exhale of fish to anybody else. It's a little bit like seafood.

[B]

Never having it again.

[C]

Now I do. I mean, matcha's good, but it just. I feel like it's an acquired taste. Like, and I don't think. I don't know. Wasn't it not meant to be?

[A]

What's something that isn't an acquired taste? Everything's an acquired taste.

[C]

No. Pizza.

[B]

Pizza, chicken nuggets. Hot dog.

[C]

Hot dogs.

[A]

That was so Trunk boy's answer. Pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs.

[B]

Pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs.

[C]

We're gonna make it dead. You know what? Any podcast where, like, we can't get any guests and it's just you and me, we're gonna do the, like, two white dudes with a podcast vibe. We're gonna be like, welcome back to Trunk Boys.

[A]

You almost got me with that with.

[B]

The trunk jumping up.

[A]

That's exactly. You guys.

[B]

You like slapstick.

[A]

Oh, yourself. Sorry, I'm being mean again.

[C]

That's adult slapstick right there. It's okay. I said the gym thing. When I said the gym thing, I was just trying to be, like, goofy and just be like, yeah.

[B]

And then I was like, oh, so much.

[C]

It didn't mean. It didn't mean to.

[A]

It was so funny. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

[B]

Who'd win in a fight, Tater or Bug?

[C]

Oh, dude, Tater. Or probably kiss Mater. Wait, I'm thinking of Mater. Who's Tater?

[B]

Tater and Bug, they probably just moved to Portland.

[A]

Tater is my. Is my Spud Hud character.

[C]

Oh, the show we did. Got it.

[A]

Yeah. And Bug is my character in Sword af.

[B]

Yeah, another show we did.

[A]

Another show we did.

[B]

And so who would win the fight.

[A]

I think Tater would win. What do you guys think?

[B]

Go on.

[A]

Sorry, I'm ruining the vibe. And that's what I said.

[B]

I would win. I want you to expound upon it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because I. What? What does our opinion matter?

[A]

Yeah, okay. That's true. I think Bug would choke.

[C]

Oh, on Tater?

[B]

On a potato.

[C]

Potato.

[A]

No, I think he would just choke. I think he would be like, oh, my God.

[C]

Like, that's Tater from the Spud Hut, the acclaimed series. Oh, my God.

[A]

Yeah. And choke.

[C]

And joke.

[A]

Or. Okay, let's think. All of the smosh characters on the table. Battle bracket. All of them.

[C]

Oh, this is my favorite episode now.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Who's. Who's taking it?

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Besides the chosen. The chosen. You can't say that.

[B]

No, Chosen's losing.

[C]

I mean.

[A]

Well, okay.

[C]

I was gonna say chosen.

[B]

Oh, no.

[C]

Because there's so many iterations.

[A]

I don't think Sarah Christ is. I don't think. I don't think.

[C]

I think Sarah Christ is a gun owner.

[A]

Maybe Courtney frickin Miller.

[B]

That's possible. Yeah.

[A]

Straight chance.

[C]

Straight chance. Straight chance Solos for sure.

[B]

Yeah, I would say so.

[C]

Once he's not distracted by gay. Like, he's so.

[B]

It's wild to see.

[C]

Okay, was that almost a laugh, or did I say something bad?

[B]

No, I think she's offended.

[C]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

[A]

That's gonna really ruin the vibe.

[C]

Did you not know Chance was.

[B]

I. I think you keep going back and forth between wanting to ruin the vibe and.

[A]

I would never want to ruin the vibe.

[C]

That was the biggest.

[A]

What I think what's happening is. Is exactly what I thought would happen. I'm trying so hard not to laugh that I. I can't. I'm.

[B]

That you can't participate.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

What if you just broke the seal and laughed a little bit? Because I'm already at, like, 1, 2. I don't know.

[A]

I have to start trying to make you guys laugh because I got one for you. And did I get you?

[C]

I don't know.

[B]

I. I think we just laughed at the situation. Well, look, we could just have a conversation and you can just hang out.

[A]

Yeah, sure, do that.

[B]

If that's what I'm offering. That. If that makes you comfortable.

[C]

Why would that ever make anyone comfortable? I'm all. As someone that always ruins the vibe and is often the third part of a cool 2 duo, it. It's not comfortable.

[B]

What would you like?

[A]

It's your fucking face when you do that. When you're about to fucking look at him. It's like crazy. Looks like a peep.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

A peep.

[A]

The peeps.

[B]

Doula peep.

[A]

Doula peep. Look at his fucking face.

[C]

That's a peep that helps you deliver babies.

[B]

We brought it to Wendy Williams. And then you slam dunked it.

[C]

Who?

[B]

Give me a break.

[A]

I'm so bored.

[B]

That's her doing her impression.

[A]

Everyone.

[B]

She was embalmed.

[A]

It's my impression of every woman you guys have ever kissed.

[C]

Hey, I love mummies.

[A]

I have to wash my mouth out.

[B]

Oh, God.

[C]

Look, my technique is putting sand in my mouth before a kiss.

[A]

Oh, God. Wasn't good.

[B]

Oh, God, I can't believe I've kissed you. Uh.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

Why is my lips hurting now? Angla? I thought this was love.

[A]

It's working.

[B]

I know. I should have waited for marriage for kissing you.

[A]

It can't. It can't. I can't lose to that.

[B]

Try to. You're gonna lose to some bullshit like, that is what's gonna happen.

[A]

It's like this weird.

[B]

Try to get your entire fist in my mouth. That's how we kiss where I'm from.

[A]

That's not gonna get me because I'm a sophisticated woman.

[B]

Would you like to go to Midsommar with me? Have you seen the film?

[A]

Just because your face is going like that.

[B]

Angela, you've heard this before. You're on that dating app, Tea and biscuits or whatever it's called.

[A]

What?

[B]

Bagels.

[C]

That was. That has to be Bagel and hot dog.

[B]

But I'm not gonna take it. I'm not gonna take that. That's not good enough.

[A]

Shock. That was like. What are you saying?

[B]

What's the day?

[A]

Coffee and bagel.

[B]

Coffee and bagel. What is it Bagel? Is it bagel and hot dog? I don't think that's bagel.

[A]

I think it was coffee and Bagel. Coffee meets bagel.

[B]

Coffee and Bagel. Coffee meets Bagel. There you go. That's what people are saying.

[A]

When I was on your preacher My face.

[C]

I can't wait to introduce you to my parents.

[A]

Oh, I love kissing you with my feast.

[B]

Let's let my parents watch.

[A]

It's not working at all.

[B]

Whoa.

[C]

You know that new sound you've been looking for?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Well, listen to that. And that's how they made Stomp.

[B]

Can I tell you when I. When I first. Our music teacher in fifth grade showed us a Stomp video. And it, like, was an existential experience.

[C]

For me because you'd never had. You grew up white, so you never had rhythm before.

[B]

No, I was like, what's happening to Me, I got really scared and I pissed.

[A]

You pissed?

[B]

Peed my pants a little bit.

[C]

But there was a stutter to it and it made a rhythm. It was like.

[A]

And that's stomp.

[B]

That's Stomp.

[C]

And that's Stomp, baby.

[A]

And that's three people sitting around table talking about Stomp. Did you ever see the Blue Man Group?

[C]

I did.

[B]

I've never seen them in person. You have.

[C]

I saw them live.

[A]

I saw them live.

[B]

You guys saw them live? Let's. Do you guys have hung out?

[A]

We're there.

[C]

Wait.

[A]

Let's do a smosh cast trip to see the Blue Man Group.

[B]

I would love that. I think they would love that too. They would. They need people.

[A]

I don't think so. I think they book pretty regularly. I think they travel and they book.

[C]

They've only been selling out shows for like 30 some odd years.

[A]

It's Cirque du Soleil too. Do you guys like those shows?

[B]

And I've been to 1 Cirque du Soleil.

[A]

Which one?

[B]

I've been wanting to 1 Pondelieri.

[C]

Found the replay.

[A]

Replay.

[C]

Next up on the radio is Found the Replay by Rianna Bye, Banana. Can't wait to introduce you to my grandmother.

[A]

So you keep doing that.

[B]

Let's just have a real. Let's. Okay. Let's bring it back down. Yeah, let's bring it back down. We got up. Let's bring it back down. What's. What's something genuinely going on right now that we want to talk about?

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I'm just thinking, you know, I. I've actually been good. Genuine. I've. I've been trying to stay off of Reddit and Tick Tock this week because I noticed I've been really bad about. I feel like you and I had this conversation.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

A couple weeks ago where it's like, I notice where I'm like, oh, anytime I have a second of downtime, I pull up my phone. I'm just like scrolling through stuff.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm like, oh. I'm not giving my brain a chance to think or be. I'm not having. And I'm struggling with my creativity.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's because I'm not. I need to be bored. I need to be uncomfortable. I need to have those times where I'm like, I don't know what to do with myself.

[A]

And you need to kind of like break the rhythm a little bit. You need to like, see things you don't see normally. You gotta, like, you just gotta. But the Internet is a way to. You Know what I mean? Like, I feel like when I was like when I have writers block, Amanda always told me she was just like, just go somewhere. Like go on the bus or do something. Because it's like then you kind of like see people. But that's so easy to do on the Internet. Like I genuinely pull so many characters off of watching people's TikTok lives.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Yeah, you just take.

[B]

I think going. Going to an app intentionally is.

[A]

Is what you're talking about.

[B]

I'm talking about because it's.

[C]

It's different because like when I'm. When I'm bored, I will open up my sports game. Is there an elderly person unwrapping a werther's original for 10 minutes in the movie theater? Because that' it sounds. I feel like we're all just sort of gently being kind of polite about it, but like, godamn.

[B]

Oh, hurt.

[C]

Me too.

[A]

I hurt Jonathan. It's okay.

[C]

I was like, no, you're going to love this part. Iron Man's about to do something crazy. Hey, excuse me. I'm so sorry. Could you.

[B]

You can't cover your mouth. We gotta see you not laughing. We gotta see it. Don't do that. Oh, okay. Cross your eyes. You have to look too.

[A]

I can see you.

[B]

Yeah, Good.

[A]

Don't fuck with me on this, alright? Don't play with me. I live in your head. I have a huge apartment in your head. I fuck bitches and get money in your head. I'm working out in your head. And I'm reading novels. I'm hanging. I got a La Z Boy chair and I live there. And we're talking shit about you. We're all hanging out playing cards against humanity in your head. Cause I live in there. You're so scared. You're so scared drunk boys. What does it all mean when it's over.

[C]

Unironically? You spat in my eye. Angela, if you have really messed up medical spit, you have to legally let me know.

[A]

Yeah, you got to check out for a pink eye.

[B]

This episode of Smoshmouth is brought to you by Zoc Doc. Angela, did you remember to schedule that doctor's appointment?

[A]

Oh, no, because I wrote it down on a post it and then I lost that post it because I got in my car. Mm.

[B]

That. That happens. You know what makes it easier is zocdoc. Zocdoc is a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in network doctors and click to instantly book an appointment. It's what I've used and I'VE been finally remembering to schedule those doctor's appointments every year. In fact, I need to right now.

[A]

But Shane, my socials are all telling me that maybe I could just get like this face mask instead of seeing a dermatologist and that'll do the trick.

[B]

Yeah. See, I think you should leave it to the professionals. And Zocdoc will make that easy to schedule an appointment with a professional.

[A]

I probably should because I'm feeling very old. I found a cobweb in my eye yesterday.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, look, I'm getting older too. Like things are happening. Yeah. Yeah, look at me. No, but I'm probably going to use Zoc doc to schedule an appointment here pretty soon. I need to get my annual checkup, make sure. What's wrong with this?

[A]

Good on you.

[B]

So stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to Zocdoc.comsmosh mouth to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today. That's Z o C d o c.com/smoshmouth. Zocdoc.com smoshmouth. You went a little. You went a little long there, but that's okay.

[A]

I just wanted to take my moment.

[B]

Feeling it. You're just feeling it. That's great.

[A]

It felt weird.

[B]

Yeah. Back to the show.

[A]

I'm tired. I want go to bed.

[B]

That was good.

[C]

Being.

[A]

Oh, I almost had you. I almost had you. I'm trying to get Damien. It's really hard.

[C]

I think I've gotten a chuck. Okay.

[B]

You can't cover your mouth though.

[A]

I won't do that. I am sorry about that.

[C]

Hey, and that's on. And that's on us.

[A]

And honestly, I wasn't covering it to hide. I was pushing it in. I was going.

[C]

You know what I appreciate about you, Shane?

[B]

What?

[C]

You got to be so well hydrated. Because when you laugh that hard, you cry so strongly and I'm like, damn you seeing that shit.

[A]

Oh, I can't wait to have my coffee.

[B]

Trump, boys.

[A]

Sorry, I'm just gonna have a sip of my coffee.

[C]

Just gonna have a little bit of my emergency.

[B]

No, keep drinking. Angela did vote for Jill Stein and she told us all that you actually vote.

[A]

This is getting ridiculous.

[B]

Okay, okay.

[A]

This is becoming.

[B]

We're gonna pull it back down. Nothing that we just said is true.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Andrew doesn't vote first.

[C]

And that's not coffee in there. It's vodka.

[B]

Nice. I think we need to get back to a real conversation here.

[A]

Yeah, I think so.

[B]

Because I think we're get. We get to the zone where We're. We're at a standstill.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

My friend just came in last night. My friend, he runs. He's one half of very gay paint on Instagra. Check them out. They're incredible.

[B]

I've heard about them.

[A]

Yes. They paint murals that are, like, stunning in, like, people's and people's houses. And he's been getting into. Just doing some more. Like, my friend Jensen's been getting into some more solo stuff. So I was like, you can kind of just like, have a field day on my wall if you want. And. And now it's like, this morning I woke up and it's like my living room is, like, it looks like it. There's just vines and weird snakes and flowers and stuff all over.

[C]

I love that.

[A]

And. Yeah. Sorry, Sorry. I laughed a little bit because just for. I almost laughed.

[B]

That's all.

[C]

Because we were being too genuine?

[A]

No, because I just.

[B]

Because you're just thinking about how happy you are about the mural.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. You see a little snake and you giggle.

[A]

So. But we were asking, like, what's been going on with you? Is. And then. But now my apartment now. I almost think it's a little too artistic. I'm like, is this me? Like, do you ever get, like, something.

[B]

It doesn't represent you?

[A]

Were you ever try on clothes that are, like, so cool that you're like, I'm not.

[B]

I get that.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Like, I look artsy.

[C]

There's a couple, like, shirts in my, in my closet that I'm like, I'll just never wear it, but I have it.

[A]

But, like, that's.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Why don't you wear it? Because you think it's too cool.

[C]

It's too cool for me. Like, I can't pull it off.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Maybe one day, like, like, it's kind of. It's like people are gonna talk, like, assume more about me. Feel confident filling. Right.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I totally.

[A]

Apartment Looks like I have really good taste in music.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I simply don't. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I am sort of in the same boat right now. Where my office, my streaming space. I'm like, it's a little too, like, cold and sterile, other than, like, the green screen and the actual, like, stream.

[A]

Oh, my God. You should get my friend in there to paint.

[C]

I, I, that's a good idea. I, I think I might do that. But what I was looking at beforehand was, like, carpets, like area rugs, but they have, like, texture to them. One is, like, a lake, and it has, like, moss on the outside. And I'm like, that would feel so comfy on the bare feet. Like, it's just like a. And I'm like, but can I pull that? Is it too much rug for my space? Like, is it too crazy? Too cool?

[A]

Yeah, like.

[C]

Like, what if someone comes into my office and is just like, that's. This can't be yours.

[B]

Right? Yeah, I get that. I get that. It's like, it doesn't represent you. You want to walk into your space and be like, this is me.

[A]

No, but it does, though. You know what I mean? Like, I'm obsessed with it. It sparks joy.

[B]

And you want, like, an inspiring space.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, people underestimate because we've got into our Millennial Gray era for so long of, like, a space being, like, inspiring.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Being unique and being fun.

[C]

I feel like when I. What is it with colors for, like, certain generations when people are, like, Millennial Gray? Because I know there was, like, an emerald green sofa that I looked at or, like, an emerald green paint, and everyone's like, oh, it's the Millennial Green. I'm like, God damn. Can you just. What do I. What. What are we allowed to do?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because there's psychology to colors, and so it's probably what we're seeking. And, like, green is, like, for focus. And. And.

[C]

And I just want my damn emeralds. Yeah, give me the emeralds.

[A]

Yeah. What would you say? Cum's color is probably like, an emerald.

[B]

Probably like an emerald.

[A]

That was so lame and so bad. And so.

[B]

Yeah. I don't know if I'm gonna give you 20 bucks anymore.

[A]

No, but I'm earning it. I'm earning it.

[B]

You are doing a really good job.

[A]

That part aside, that made everyone upset.

[C]

Why? I just want the Chaos Emeralds.

[B]

You mean the Chaos Emeralds?

[C]

Yeah, Give me the Chaos Emeralds.

[B]

Sorry, we were. We were having a bit of an inside joke.

[A]

Yeah, no, for sure. And I just kind of.

[B]

It's from a fan fiction forever ago.

[A]

I didn't ask about it. And Sonic needs them, so no one said, oh, we. We need. We need you to elaborate. Did that. We kind of were just, like, still here waiting for you guys to finish with these little.

[C]

So Sonic is like this blue little runner guy, and he's always running in video games.

[A]

Is he a child?

[C]

No, he's, like an adult.

[B]

He's a fully grown man.

[C]

Is he it early twenties? Yeah.

[B]

Is he.

[A]

What does he. Is he packing it?

[C]

Depending on which fanfic you're reading, probably. Yeah, probably, like, uncomfortably so, like, flopping while he runs, like, hurts his Own bruises.

[A]

His own.

[B]

When he runs.

[A]

What is his. I'm looking at him up there. What is his.

[B]

He's right there.

[A]

Species.

[C]

He's a hedgehog.

[B]

Hedgehog. Sonic the Hedgehog.

[C]

It's in the name.

[A]

Oh, but he's blue.

[C]

Yeah, Blue. Now you get the core concept of why he did so well in the 90s.

[B]

Here's the thing. But I've heard chances mentioned. You don't know animals.

[A]

Yeah. No, no animals.

[C]

You don't know animals. Oh, dude, we know animals.

[A]

But, like, if we get really in the weeds of it all, I'm like, a hedgehog isn't blue. I know that.

[C]

What would it take for Smosh to bring us to the zoo? Because I want to see you experience the joy of, like. If you don't know animals. I know you've never seen, like, a taper. And it's like, what the fuck does Angela think when looking at a tape?

[A]

So you're fucking with me and you made up a tape.

[C]

I'm not. That's the thing.

[B]

That's a real animal.

[A]

Say three things. Make one of them a fake animal. Say three animals.

[B]

Okay. Okay. Let me. Let me. Let me cook here. Okay. Sunfish. Let's see. We've got howler monkey. And we've got a Durungi.

[A]

Sunfish. Howler monkey. Durungi. Okay. Feel like Durungi is the thing. Is the. He's smiling. Okay. I feel like Durungi is the thing you want me to fall for because that sounds like a made up word, but. Sunfish. What's that? There's clownfish. There's.

[C]

Fish are named. Like somebody hates fish. Like this is the gap tooth. Cross eyed fish.

[B]

[B]

Howler monkey.

[A]

Howler monkey. No, no. I'm gonna say drunk guy.

[B]

Got it right. Drunk guy's not real.

[A]

That was hard.

[B]

I. I did it off theme. I should have done it similar. I should do a great job. I should have done like yelling camel or something.

[A]

You did a great job.

[C]

Should I do the. Should I do the same thing?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It's still Kinkos.

[B]

We're just be. Just being honest here.

[A]

I know everyone's around.

[B]

It's. It's a fresh reminder for me to not, like, try to be funny. Because when I'm being earnest and vulnerable is when you start laughing at me.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

Which equally hurts and is also cool.

[C]

The importance of being earnest.

[B]

Ernest goes to jail.

[A]

Earnest goes to jail. You guys just say references to each other and you change the word.

[C]

Which animal is fake?

[B]

Why does that not count?

[A]

That wasn't a laugh.

[C]

You laughed, homie.

Why don't we just cut this shit? Look at what we're doing to ourselves. Look at you.

[B]

[A]

I will never forget this.

[C]

Did he gamble and move?

[A]

My. My. We were. We were after school. We were hanging out with our nanny, and she was so cool. And because my parents were always out of town and she and my brother and my best friend, we were all doing our homework at the table, and she was like, there's no more farting because that's it.

[B]

You're inviting farting with that?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

He gets a running start, jumps his. His ass in her face. Farts lands.

[B]

Your brother is the Banksy of flatulence. Because that's incredible.

[A]

I have to tell him that. That's the funniest thing.

[C]

That's so.

[A]

Because I've told you this story. I don't think I've told other places, but I don't know if I've told you this.

[C]

I've never heard this.

[A]

No. This story about my brother. My brother got kicked out of the. He had to walk. You.

[C]

[B]

It's use preventing yourself from laughing is so funny.

[A]

Dude. This is a beautiful face on me.

[B]

My brother.

[A]

One time we were driving home and we were really close to the house, but we were like a street down. And my dad was so annoyed with my brother continuing to fart. I think I told you this somewhere live. It was at some. It was in front of an audience, I remember. And my dad kicked my brother out of the car and he had to walk home because he farted.

[B]

He let it. He let your brother crop dust the entire neighborhood.

[A]

He pulled over and he literally was like, get out of the damn car. And he was so mad. And then my. And then, and then I remember looking through the rear view mirror and seeing my brother walking.

[B]

And you saw him, you saw him walking and you saw him go like fart. One time, One time on the way to an audition when I was like 12, I was so nervous and like truly not trying to be funny. I was trying to hold it in, but I was like, my body was like shutting down. So nervous. And my mom was like, oh my God. She's like, roll down the windows. What the hell? She's like, can we go to this audition? Are you sick? And I was like, I was like not laughing. I was like sad and scared. Like it was not funny to me. You know what it takes for a 12 year old to not find a fart funny? I was like, fuck. And I booked it. I booked that audition.

[C]

Oh my God. There are levels to it. We're like, if there's embarrassment if you make a loud noise, there's an embarrassment if it's stinky. But there are certain levels where people are like, it's like, are you dying? Like, are you okay? Can I. You need to go to the hospital.

[B]

It's what it's followed up by like. Cuz a fart is funny if it doesn't smell bad.

[A]

No, it what makes me fart's funny. Brothers.

[B]

But your brothers were gnarly.

[A]

Someone goes, are you sick?

[B]

My mom was yelling.

[A]

She was no.

[B]

Oh my God.

[C]

It's like hereditary.

[B]

I want to die.

[C]

God, it's.

[B]

It takes a lot to fart once and upset your parents. Are you sick so much.

[C]

Yeah, you gotta. You gotta let that out. It comes out somehow.

[A]

Oh, whoa, guys.

[C]

Might as well choose the book.

[A]

I'm. I'm shocked at how well you're doing for me. Like, I, I, I really thought I had this in the bag, and I've kind of, like. I've kind of broke it, like, twice.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But I wouldn't say I've laughed.

[C]

Okay, well, I was about to, you know, be polite. No, Angela, you full on laughed, like, a few times.

[A]

Yeah. What did you say that it is like. You're like, which one is not the fish? I was like, we, like, moved on to something else. Which one's on the animal? All right, I'm gonna say three musicals. No, you're gonna know. I'm gonna say three plays. One of them's fake.

Well, we had to pick one.

Angela, you're the one who said wrong sofa a second ago.

[A]

Yeah, and you guys thought it was a play.

[C]

I said it was not. And then you said, fuck you. And then I was like, let's, I guess, continue on.

[A]

I love you guys.

[C]

I love you, too. We should hang out at least even once.

[A]

I feel like I've been here for seven hours.

[B]

This has been crazy. Let's. Let's. Let's cool the brakes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We don't have to, like, you're doing great. You're doing great.

[A]

I mean, you guys are killing it.

[C]

Oh, man. I mean, geez.

[A]

Okay, you want to pump the. Did you say you just wanted to pump the brakes?

[B]

Just like, you know, get back to, like.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Earnest conversation.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I think why I don't know animals is because I like. Did you have, like, a. Like, in what grade do they, like, go through all.

[B]

Well, no, it wasn't. Okay. It wasn't school. I was obsessed with animal planets.

[A]

It. Oh, okay.

[B]

Maybe that I was obsessed with animals. So it was very much. It was. It was definitely, like, yeah, you know, animals. It's definitely extracurricular for me.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I think it was like, you know, the dinosaur books, you know, that maybe were in your elementary school classroom if you were lucky or. I know I had a few at home. I was. I was a real, like, rocks and minerals kid. And now I can't be that because everyone thinks, like, oh, yeah, citrine. That'll make your ass not fall clean off. And I'm like, yeah. No, I think just. I like the shiny rocks.

[A]

I think I had, like, a jewel or rocks.

[B]

Did you have a Rock Collections were big for a.

[A]

They were. I wonder if.

[B]

And now everyone. Now adults are in crystals.

[C]

That's what I'm saying.

[B]

Maybe it was just a carryover.

[A]

Yeah, maybe that's just a. I think.

[B]

I think people need, like, an excuse to have things. Like, they're like, oh, these. We have crystals. We have crystals because they heal you. And I'm like, I don't believe that. But I'm like, you're allowed to have crystals because they're awesome.

[A]

No, I think attaching meaning to something is. Is more fun than just wanting a rock. Rock.

[C]

I disagree.

[B]

I.

[C]

Next topic.

[B]

See, I think the. The meaning is in the rock.

[A]

I know, but what I think is cool is like a rose quartz is so pretty. And then I get told, oh, if I hold it more, it's gonna help me have more better self love. And then I think I'm reminded of self love when I look at it. Yeah.

[C]

It just feels like a bummer. So it's like, you don't love yourself. Hold this rock.

[A]

And it's like, oh, buddy, not quite funny enough.

[B]

See, I. I think it's like a. It could be a placebo effect.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And just truly, like, a reminder. It's like it becomes a reminder, a memento. That's cool. I just. My argument is, I don't. It doesn't. I don't need that aspect to be real in order for me to want to just have, like, quartz. I think quartz is like, incredible, you know.

[C]

Tastes the same going down.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, yeah, you put it all at the. It's all the same. It's all protein.

[C]

Yeah. Tastes a lot like blood.

[B]

I should have had you talk about true crime, because whenever you talk about true crime, you laugh.

[C]

No, not more of that. Yeah, that's every podcast I'm on. What are you up to, Amanda? Oh, true crime. I know another reason.

[A]

Every podcast you're on, they're talking to Amanda.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Are you still up to date? Are you like, locked in on true crime?

[C]

Yeah. Have you seen the new crime?

[A]

Yeah, I actually, I have been. I did take a little bit of a breather.

[B]

Did it like, was it getting to you? I don't know how you and Amanda, like, and, and so many people, like, keep up with true crime. I'm like, I would be terrified or like, just feeling miserable.

[A]

Yeah. I've toned it down a little bit because it's just sometimes it's like if I'm watching TV to go to sleep is what I realized. Like, I, I did put on the 31st.

[B]

The, the, the, the O.J. simpson 30 for 30 to go to.

[A]

Sleep the other night. And I, he. I can't believe I do that. But I put those things on because I, I like documented people talking just about something, but it being. It's interesting to me. And then I start to fall asleep and then the sound. But I woke up really anxious and I was like, oh, I wonder why.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

I have this like, court case, like plastic.

[C]

Did you see that? OJ made the Murdy under 30.

[A]

That was so.

[C]

For those audience at home. Shane almost giggled.

[A]

That was really a good one.

[C]

Thank you. He's older than that, though, and he died.

[B]

It's. You know, I watch that 30 for 30 and I'm, I'm just, I'm blown away how someone can run that many yards every game for a whole season.

[C]

I mean, Heisman.

[B]

Okay. I was going to say this earlier.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's actually hilarious that you are not into sports at all. But you watch that 30 for 30 for. With O.J. simpson, like, over and over again. And the first few episodes are only about the sports.

[A]

Yeah. And I like it.

[B]

It's. That's what's crazy about this doctor the show.

[C]

Like, hear me out.

[B]

Cuz it's just like, hold on.

[C]

Like, he might, he might have done.

[B]

But he's like, is the show like.

[A]

Hear me out Is so funny. Is the show like, hear me out. Watch him run.

[C]

He's real good.

[A]

I think it's amazing in culture to see somebody be so godlike and. And do that on their own.

[B]

And then we have not seen something of that caliber.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Cuz we grew up just like.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Already knowing the whole thing.

[A]

Literally.

[B]

But you watch that and then you also watch Hard Knocks.

[A]

Yeah. And I just started. It's a. It's the Bills, isn't it?

[B]

It's the Bills. Which is a great team. Like love them so much. I need to watch it. But like you watch so much football content.

[A]

But I don't watch football. Cuz I love the stories. I love the wild.

[B]

Hilarious.

[A]

I love seeing them. Like my favorite on Hard Knocks is the Christmas episode when they all buy each other gifts.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And like what? Like the top running back will give everybody like electric scooters and they're all in like a big like, you know, it's like. Or like that's awesome. Yeah. Dan Marino got all of the Dolphins QB department.

[C]

Sorry. This has no true crime aspect to it. It's just a sports.

[A]

No, we moved back to.

[C]

Like. Well, you've been cut literally at the end.

[B]

At the end of the season, Josh Allen has to decide who lives and who dies.

[A]

Who do you guys think is gonna play the halftime show?

[B]

Oh, okay. Okay. I'm actually down for this. I'm so down for this. I meant to do a lot of.

[A]

Rumors, Sabrina and Miley. But why? I just keep seeing hearing that and I'm like, why not just one each? Why do we have to put both of these incredible women and do them together? Why can't we just have one?

[C]

Why can't we have them like, you know, fight each other for supremacy?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. And put them against each other.

[B]

Miley would be an interesting choice. I actually think she would be. Be great.

[A]

I think she'd cry.

[B]

I think she'd rock because she's got that rock vibe, which they love.

[A]

And she has a huge songbook.

[C]

I would see Sabrina Carpenter.

[B]

Sabrina Carpenter's too new. They never go with someone who's in there. Like first 10 years.

[A]

It's got to be Sabrina isn't that new. She's been making music for.

[B]

I know.

[A]

But not. Yeah.

[B]

But I mean, even like within the first 10 years, like Taylor Swift, I think is just now in the era where I'm like. Because you need to appeal to multiple generations, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so you need Gen X.

[A]

That's why I think Miley comes out. She brings out Dolly. She brings out, like. It's just. Miley is like.

[B]

Dolly Parton would be.

[C]

Can I bring up a dark horse?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Nora Jones.

[A]

That'd be so sick.

[B]

So I say Nora Jones, just as. That would be so funny, dude. And then.

[C]

And then Blue man group. Blue Man.

[A]

That'd be fun.

[C]

And then Sposhmi's Reddit stories. Thousand miles. What is that? Vanessa. Vanessa Carlton just comes out. But the piano becomes, like, blazing through, like, from behind. Like, the team is, like, standing there listening. It's like, you see the piano, like, if I just.

[B]

That's really good.

[C]

And it just, like, misses one and she turns around.

[A]

That's good. Honestly, Billy Joel.

[B]

Well, Billy Joel's.

[A]

Yeah, I know. But he has, like, a new album.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

Yeah. Oh, you have to watch his doc. The documentary is really.

[B]

I see. I think, like, they never can go wrong with those, like, old school.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

People. That's always kind of the best shows. It's the one that gets everybody hyped.

[C]

He's the guy that's still performing when he's, like, 97.

[A]

He's like, oh, every one of them.

[B]

Oh. Oh. Frank Balance. Frankie. Frankie Valance.

[A]

Frankie Valley.

[B]

Frankie Valley.

[C]

I think Frankie Valley could tail.

[B]

I would actually be so down. He's just. They're like.

[C]

He just walks.

[A]

This year's super bowl halftime performers are Frankie Valley featuring Sabrina Carpenter.

[C]

Oh, I would watch.

[A]

I forgot we were playing.

[B]

It's okay. I.

[C]

Honestly, I've seen you come alive, I think, in these past few minutes.

[A]

I think I'm. I am going to admit defeat. I half laughed, I think, four times.

[C]

I still think you're winning. Like, I think I've laughed more than.

[A]

Yeah, but I didn't make. I don't know. You definitely took the cake for Shane. You made him laugh so much.

[B]

Well, he was. You were folk. You. That wasn't your primary goal.

[A]

Yeah. But I'd say good game, guys.

[B]

Great game. All right, so the numbers, obviously, it's very much tough to gauge.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We're. We're playing just off vibes.

[C]

I hope it's you. I hope you win.

[B]

Damien, you laughed twice.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Okay. And Angela, it's kind of iffy on two or three.

[A]

Yeah. I'd say there was, like, three halves, and you had that big one.

[B]

You did have the big one at the gym. I would say it's fair to say you did not. Did not burst out and laugh.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You were able to, like, contain it.

[A]

Every time I got, like. I was really. I. I do admit defeat, but I.

[C]

Feel like, I had a lot of, like, half laughs in there too, so if you wanted to, like, share the crown.

[A]

Okay. 10. 10?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I laughed 27 times. Angela, you made me laugh six times. Damon, you made me laugh 10 times. But here's the kicker.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I made myself laugh 11 times.

[A]

And that's a drunk boy.

[B]

And that's a trunk boy right there. Nice. Way to go.

[A]

Truly, this was so fun. Thanks for being here.

[C]

Yeah. Hey, Angela. Where can people find you?

[B]

This has been. Is so much fun. And Angela, you're. You're kicking ass as co host. And Damian, I'm so excited to host this with you too.

[A]

And it's gonna be so fun.

[C]

Gonna be wacky.

[B]

It's. It's been a great time. Hey, we're having so much fun.

[A]

Hey, just come on down. Down. Come on down.

[C]

We're having catfish cabin.

[A]

The catfish cabin. This has been a blast. Love you guys.

[C]

It's been an honor. I love what you guys do with the channel and. Yeah, thanks for having me.
