Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Keith's Health Journey and Gratitude

• Keith opens up about his recent struggles with cancer, sharing how their summer was “taken from him” but expressing deep gratitude for the outpouring of support from the Smosh community.
  • “I’m just extremely grateful for the amount of people too that like showed up and showed out… You’re helping me live a little longer.” — Keith (05:00)
• The group jokes about church donation culture and how even small acts of giving can have a huge impact.
  • “Straight up church. That is church. I feel so bad. Are we supposed to talk about oh my God. Who knows?” — Keith (03:42)

2. Safe Spaces for Admitting Ignorance

• The main conceit: creating a non-judgmental environment for admitting what you don’t know, especially about topics others might consider basic.
• “It's something I never thought about. Like, that's gotta be cool if, like, a Dalmatian has identical twin puppies...But today we thought we'd go even further with that and make this a place for talking about what we don't understand and don't know.” — Shane (09:37)

Notable theme: The internet often rewards expertise or the appearance of knowledge, but real learning comes from asking questions.

• “Everybody right now on the Internet is...They all want to be experts. And I rarely see people going, like, I don't know. I don't know stuff.” — Shane (10:35)

3. Ridiculous but Relatable Questions

Scrambled Eggs vs. Fried Chicken (12:18)

• Keith asks: “Isn't scrambled eggs really fried chicken?” launching a humorous and mind-boggling debate.
• Amanda: “It’s breaking my brain even more.” (13:07)
• The hosts riff on the breakfast/dessert versions of foods and international donut-eating habits.

Microchips (24:01)

• Shane and Amanda both confess ignorance about what microchips are and how they work, especially in dogs.
  • “I don't understand how microchips work, how they are made. Like… I understand they store so much information, but I'm like, where. How. How did we. How did we create this?” — Shane (24:36)
• The group mistakenly assumes dog microchips have GPS, correcting themselves as they piece together their understanding:
  • Amanda: “The microchip in dogs just has their name and info. It doesn’t have a GPS.” (27:01)

Animal Confusion & Knowledge Gaps (31:00 – 40:00)

• Angela confesses a recurring struggle to identify animals (moose, mammoths, manatees, emus, meerkats). The group quizzes Angela, who hilariously guesses “emu” is a bear or a fish.
  • “You could literally show me pictures of four things, and I won't be able to find which one's an emu.” — Angela (38:15)
• Shane points out knowledge comes from personal obsession/experience—not inherent intelligence.

Offsides in Soccer (17:52–22:33)

• Angela admits: “I don’t know what offsides is at all.” (18:14)
• Shane and Amanda attempt (badly) to explain, then agree to let experts in the comments clarify.
  • “If I hear that, I go, okay. And I go, yeah, it's off sites.” — Angela (21:11)

Other Baffling Topics

• Why do cities have underground tunnels?
• How do sewers work and who checks on them?
• Where do city raccoons, skunks, possums, and coyotes actually hide all day?
• Did NFL passing exist to reduce deaths in football?
• “What’s the deal with balls (testicles)?” — Amanda and Angela joke about what, biologically, they “do” (43:04)

4. Meta-reflection on Not Knowing

• Shane advocates for embracing ignorance and curiosity.
  • “I'm not going to shame anyone for not having checked out something, because there's infinite, infinite stuff.” (30:30)
• Amanda and Angela relate tales of people being shamed for not having seen movies or knowing things.
  • Angela: “I have a character that I love playing…You've never seen Back to the Future? Wait, how old are you?” (29:39)

5. Friendship: What Is It?

• Keith reflects on not understanding how friendships work, only to realize it’s because every friendship has unique needs and “currencies.”
  • “I don't know how friends work, how friendship works…But like, I just figured it out. It's different for each person.” (52:53)
• Amanda and Shane discuss love languages and how adult friendships change, especially around expectations for time spent together.
  • “When you're an adult and you don't have friends, it's like, how the...How do you make friends? And it's like, there's just not a good answer.” — Shane (54:09)

6. Dance, Physicality & Vulnerability

• Shane opens up about feeling self-conscious dancing, marveling at others’ “flow state.”
  • “I'm fascinated by like music's playing and people just start like dancing. And I'm just like, how. What's going on in your guys heads?” (59:49)
• Keith and Amanda remind him that dancing is about freedom and fun, not performance.
  • “Even if you're not good at it...just go for it. Because I see some people that...they have no rhythm, but they're having so much fun, it makes you move, too.” — Keith (61:54)
• Amanda recounts Shane’s unexpectedly great pole dancing during a Smosh shoot, everyone laughs about embarrassing dance moments (63:22).

Conclusion

This episode is a candid, comedic meditation on the freedom and connection found in “not knowing”—and the relief of safe spaces for asking so-called “dumb” or vulnerable questions. The wide-ranging conversation—jumping from animal species to soccer rules, sewers, friendships, and dance moves—showcases the Smosh cast at their most human and relatable, demonstrating that curiosity (and laughter) are far more valuable than always being right.

Final Invitation:
“Scientists, get in the chat, answer our questions. Internet, do your thing. We're stupid. Fix that.” (70:57)

For listeners:
If you’ve ever pretended to know what an emu is, or felt silly sweating a “simple” question, this episode is for you. And if you actually do know how microchips, balls, or sewers work, the hosts would love to see your input in the comments!

Well, I don't know. I'm from Ohio and we started at the beginning of October. I mean August. I'm thinking about my birthday. My bad.

[C]

Anyway, you were saying how you were feeling before I interrupted you and talking about.

[A]

No, no. Oh, sorry. No, I'm feeling great. Can I just thank everybody who donated, who shared, who sent kind words, all of it means so much, you know, I'm just extremely grateful for the amount of people too that like showed up and showed out. So I've obviously been Going through. I mean, you see me on social media and that I don't think it doesn't reflect how I truly. How I've truly felt throughout these past couple months. But for people to show up and show out the way that they did, I'm like extremely grateful. You guys have given me a cushion that honestly I didn't know where it was gonna come from or how. But you guys did it in less than a day and then continued to surpass it. And then it went around again and it's just like, oh my God. People actually care about my. And I made a post and I was saying like I gave up hope, you know, so many times. But like, you guys make me feel good now. It doesn't change anything. You guys didn't heal me of my cancer.

[C]

Sure. Damn it.

[A]

But you guys definitely gave me just.

[C]

A little bit more money and we can.

[A]

Yes, yes.

[B]

[B]

We're going to lock the doors.

[A]

I just feel it. It's five people in this room. $20. $20.

[C]

Close our eyes and raise your hand.

[C]

If you haven't given.

Yes. Oh my God. That is church. Straight up church. That is church. I feel so bad. Are we supposed to talk about oh my God. Who knows?

[B]

Okay, that's church.

[C]

Close your eyes and raise your hand. Thing was so real growing up.

[A]

[C]

Sorry. You have to do a faster character.

[A]

I haven't seen you. I.

[B]

You have at some point.

[A]

Definitely back in the day back.

[C]

But I will say it was so cool. I remember texting Keith being like, wait till you go to bed and you wake up just because like I just think we talk about our fan base so much but like it's just never enough to talk about like how like when there's a tangible thing that's like, like I love when we do charity streams and everything. Cuz it just makes the numbers mean something. Like it's like we like it is a YouTube channel. So we talk about like numbers and reach for everything. But when the numbers and reach have like a massive meaning, I don't know, it's like it just Reminds me, you.

[B]

Do kind of become, like, blind to it in a way, right? Where we see that, we see the numbers, and then we sometimes are like, oh, well, it's not that big. Like, oh, no, there's not many people watching. Like, you just see the number and then stuff like, with what. I mean, gofundme. You're like, oh, my God.

[A]

It was unbelievable to see it in real time, you know? Like, I knew that we would get to the. The. The. But not that fast. You know what I mean? Like, I didn't know if we were going to have to do a live stream or something to, like, to push it over the edge, you know? I. I didn't know. Just to see the support, to feel the support. Guys, I thank you through and through and through. I'm just. I'm extremely grateful. I'll say it over and over again. You. You. You're helping me live a little longer.

[C]

It is funny, though, I wanted to ask you because I said, like, how are you feeling right at the top of this? And it's funny. Like, you. Do you feel like you can't casually be asked, like, what's up? Because you have to say, like. Like, this morning I looked at you and I was like, what's up? How are you? And I didn't mean to be like, medically, how are you doing right now?

[B]

Like, vibing.

[C]

Yeah. But do you feel like you can't.

[A]

No. So the other day, I actually filmed a podcast with Patrick. Okay, Patrick, who used to write for us here, right. And he was like, keith, how are you? And I'm, like, cancerous. But then.

[B]

And then we didn't talk for a whole hour.

[A]

So we're doing this podcast somewhere in the car. And, you know, of course, he asked me that, like, three more times, and I said, how many more times do.

[C]

I have to tell you?

[A]

That's the thing. People ask you that shit. It's like, come on, y'. All. Like, I'm doing good. I'm doing good. Okay? I got cancer.

[C]

I'm good. I'm good.

[A]

What do you want me to say? What do you want me to say? Talked about it on the interview, that Amanda did an amazing job, like, hosting. You know, it's like certain things became triggers, you know, certain, you know, like, how are you? Like, I'm doing as good as I can. It's like, keep going. I'm all, I'm here today. I showed up. Like, I'm going, You know. But, you know, those same triggers are. You know, they're. They're not really supposed to be triggers. It's just like I'm going through it and I'm triggered.

[B]

You hear something every day. You're gonna get tired of it.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

No matter how good the intentions are.

[A]

Yeah. You get tired of that.

[B]

Yeah. I really. I was always so amazed at how much, like, you. You didn't really, like, want it. You didn't let it dominate your life. Like, I still remember when, like, we did the Teletubbies reunion, and like, you were in pain, but. And we were like, hey, you don't have to do this. You're like, no, I'm going to do it. And like, you just weren't. You were never, like, making it known. You weren't like, I don't know. Like, if it was me, I'd have been complaining non stop.

[A]

Well, part of it is, like, when the camera's on, y', all, it's like it's turning. It's the time. It's a time to entertain, you know, it's time to entertain. It's time to be on. And it also kind of takes away the pain in a sense. Like, I might feel it later on just because I might have overextended myself, but at the end of the day, it's just like, damn, like, I'm on. I get to play, you know, I mean, I rather play and, like, be in some pain than, like, just sit on my couch for, like, a long period of time. Like, I remember sitting on my couch for, like, I want to say maybe a week. And I did not go outside. People had to come over and, like, take out pork chop, you know, pick up pork chop shit, you know, on her little pad in the corner. Because it was just hard to do things.

[C]

Yeah, of course.

[A]

Really hard to do things. So don't catch cancer, bitches. Don't catch it all. To say going around like a cold these days. That's the reality of it.

[C]

I just like, you're still so, like, I can't even think about you doing summer games. Like, you're just so funny, no matter what.

[B]

Professional.

[A]

Just like, I was a little late, but other than that. Look, I showed you were late. I was. I was a little late here and there. You guys were.

[C]

You were late before cancer.

[A]

Yeah, that's. That's what I'm saying. Like, you guys know, Come on. I'm like, I was a little late. You know, I have been doing better. I have been doing a lot better. Oh, yeah. Like, I seen something recently where I was like, I hate people who make Being late of their personality. I'm like, it's not a part of my personality. It's just truly who I am.

[C]

Okay, so it's a part of your personality.

[B]

All right, so we take that back, what we said.

[A]

Oh, God. Sorry, guys. Sorry, production.

[B]

No, man, you're awesome.

[C]

But okay. Honestly, speaking of safe spaces.

[B]

Yeah. Safe space.

[C]

Like this is this. This table, this three. I need to be safe for what we're doing today.

[A]

Yeah, I can't promise that. My fingers are crossed.

[B]

Okay, so this idea for today's episode came because the first episode that Angela and I did together a couple weeks ago, we brought up a couple things that we didn't know anything about. We were just, like, talking, and Angela brought up like. Like, do animals have identical twins?

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

And it was something I never thought about. Now, a lot of our viewers thought we were talking about, do animals birth multiple babies?

[C]

I'm not talking about the litter.

[B]

So everybody's like, oh, they have litters, stupid. And we're like, guys, we're talking about identical. Yeah.

[C]

Would you look at a twin? Would you look at the da Vinci twins and say, are you guys in the same litter?

[B]

And I'm like, okay, I know the answer is probably yes, but I'm just like. It's something I never thought about. Like. Like, that's gotta be cool if, like, a Dalmatian has identical twin puppies that are two Dalmatians that are the exact same spots in the exact same places. I just. It's not something I've ever thought about. But today we thought we'd go even further with that and make this a place for talking about what we don't understand and don't know.

[C]

Yeah. It's similar to, like, the opposite of hot takes, where it's like, hey, no matter what I say here, I'm. I'm just gonna let the doors open. Say, because at some point, you get old enough that you can't be like, what is that?

[B]

Right.

[C]

You miss the window to be like, what do you mean by insurance?

[B]

Honestly, it's a thing where, like, everybody right now on the Internet is. They all want to be experts.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So everybody's just, like, telling you what things are. And I rarely see people going, like, I don't know. I don't know stuff. Yeah, you don't. Because it's a scary thing, and it only invites ridicule. Ridicule a lot of the time. And I'm like, that's not how we should respond to gaps in knowledge, because we all have gaps in knowledge. But a lot of our. A lot of people who comment are very sweet and. And we get a lot of, like, experts. And I think that's one of the coolest things. Like, we all have gaps in knowledge, but something we don't know anything about. There's someone out there who's dedicated whole life to that thing.

[C]

Honestly, what's interesting, as you said that, I was like, I feel like my gaps in knowledge because of the Internet. Now I feel like my gaps in knowledge show my irresponsible ness of, like, not looking it up. Because any gap in knowledge I can fill with my phone. You know what I mean? Like, I can look up anything.

[B]

I almost think that's part of the problem. Right. Is like, there's. There's a lack of curiosity sometimes because it's so easy to find things. But we're also at a point. Now you say that like your phone. I also think there's so much stuff that misinformation is such a. That I don't even know. Like, I don't. I don't know what if what I'm looking at online is the right answer? Yeah, sometimes. Unless it's got like a.gov or a.net or whatever.

[A]

Even that questionable at this point.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Got dot. God, I need scary.

[B]

I need Hank Green to tell me to my face what things are.

[C]

That's so true.

[B]

But. But today we're making this safe space to just talk about what we don't understand. We're not going to. We can. If one of us thinks we know the answer, we can take a guess, but nobody hears an expert.

[C]

I think it's not even about answering the question.

[B]

It's about posing the question.

[C]

Yeah, here I go. I'm taking the mask off. I don't know what this is. And I've been acting like I know what it is for this many years.

[B]

Okay, fair.

[A]

Can I just start this off? All right, let's start it. Okay, so I seen something on, like, Facebook recently. I still get on Facebook. They said the question was, isn't scrambled eggs really fried chicken? All right, think about it. Think about it. Isn't scrambled eggs.

[B]

Holy fuck.

[A]

Fried chicken.

[B]

Okay, well, no one move. Nobody do anything right now.

[A]

Like, my mind. I've not. I've seen it, like, yesterday or the day before, and I've been stuck on that because.

[C]

And I'll ask you another question.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

What do you think the dessert version of scrambled eggs is?

[B]

The dessert version?

[C]

That's too literal. Eggs. Okay, we'll move on. Let's Go back to people.

[A]

Like, that's breaking my brain even more.

[C]

Okay, you're right. It's eggs, right?

[A]

Yeah. Scrambled eggs.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Fried chicken.

[C]

Fried chicken is flourish, right?

[A]

I don't. I don't cook.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But anybody.

[B]

I don't think scrambled eggs. But are scrambled eggs, like, fried? I guess it's in oil.

[A]

You're frying a chicken, and you're literally frying a chicken.

[B]

I'm not. I'm not. I'm not like. Like, I like to cook, but I don't know what I'm doing. I don't understand the terminology of what I'm doing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't care. We also brought up. Because you brought up your whole bagel for the evening thing.

[C]

Yeah. So I have this whole theory. I'll send you the time code. And I'm getting a lot of great warriors in my d. We're gonna figure.

[B]

Out a beautiful char has begun.

[C]

And we're gonna figure out, like, what the breakfast version of everything is for dinner. And it's when we're figuring it out and what the dessert is.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[C]

Yeah, like a muffin. A muffin is a breakfast cupcake.

[A]

Yeah, a muffin is a breakfast cupcake. Okay, hold on, hold on.

[B]

Like, there's some things you would never have for breakfast, but there's a version that. I got it.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

It takes another episode.

[A]

It takes me to process.

[C]

But. But we learned some stuff in the comments. Scary thing to say on a video like this. But we did.

[B]

About donuts, so. Okay, this is wild.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I did not know this. So you. We were talking about, like, yeah, like, donuts are for the morning. Right? Like, as an American, we go, yeah, donuts are a morning. In the morning.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

Everybody from the UK was like, you would never have a donut in the morning. Is it like, donuts are for the evening? And I was like, okay, listen, govna, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about.

[C]

But listen, Doctor who. What are you talking about?

[B]

Donut. Abby.

[C]

Sorry, King Charles. What are you eating with the donut if not coffee?

[B]

I guess it's just breakfast for. But they don't have coffee. Like, we have coffee.

[C]

They have tea and they're having, like, so.

[B]

And. And a donut with tea. Sounds awful.

[A]

Hold on. Dude, they drink tea. Not. Not tea. Do they drink coffee over.

[C]

Yeah, espresso.

[A]

Oh, got you.

[C]

Or like, coffee, like, going over there and asking for a drip. They're like, coffee.

[B]

Yeah. Like getting a big 16 ounce cup of coffee is not. I don't think it's as common there. But with globalization, everything's kind of everywhere.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You go to any big city, you're going to find whatever you need. That's just kind of the thing.

[C]

Okay. But we're off to the race.

[B]

All right. We're off to the races. Scrambled eggs, fried chicken. We have no idea. Yeah, we don't know. I'm not here to try to answer, but it's okay. If in the comments, if you are an expert, I kind of want to see how many experts of different types of fields we can get, because we brough up, like, the twin thing, and we had multiple, like, bird scientists in our comments. I was like, I didn't know Smosh was so big amongst bird science.

[C]

Where are the donut scientists? Like, show up. Right.

[B]

We need a donut scientist in our comments.

[C]

And if we need to do, like, a direct call out, like, egg scientists come in. Right?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You have a place in the comments. Go down there and do your work. Tell us. We'll read it.

[A]

You would think we would have donut scientists since we're, like, known for, like, the pink.

[B]

We got it. We got it. You would think we would know our donuts a little bit.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Because it is kind of part of Smosh's lore.

[C]

Ye.

[A]

Forever.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay, I'll say it.

[B]

All right.

[C]

Long time ago. Long time ago. I was. I think about this moment a lot. I was playing soccer as a kid, which was hilarious. My parents really tried to make me athletic, and it just didn't stick. And I was. The funny part about my soccer career growing up.

[B]

She's going for the goal. She's going. She's doing pippin. She's. She's. She's completely given up.

[C]

I'm going to send it to Selena. There's a picture. For some reason, I kept getting on winning teams. Oh, but I was dog shit. There's one picture of me with my foot out and the ball's back there, like. And my parents would be like, she's not good. But she keeps getting on these teams that keep, like, going to the championship. And then there was. There's one picture, and I think this is when I started to learn to have anxiety because these teams were really good. And. And the only position I could kind of play was goalie. And we had such a strong defense. He would never come over there.

[B]

Oh, okay. I was gonna say goalie is usually one of the best players on the team.

[C]

No, but when you have girls that are just like pushing the ball down there. You're just, you're just a angel in the back. And there's a picture of me in front of the goalie like this. Like they used to be like, do you want a magazine? Because I would sit back there and I would walk back and forth and go, please don't come over here. Please don't come over here. Please don't come over here. Because I just was so scared of letting people down anyway.

[B]

That's a terrifying position to be in if you have anxiety and feel like you suck at software.

[C]

It, it all began there.

[B]

That's terrifying.

[C]

It all began there. But I remember the moment someone explained to me offsides.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And I remember moving on, like hearing him go and then going like, just zoning out. And now to this day I watch football with my family. I watch soccer with my family. I don't know what offsides is at all.

[B]

It's.

[C]

It doesn't mean out of bounds. So that's what I'm curious about. What does it mean?

[B]

It has a lot to do with player positioning on field. I'm not going to try to answer it. Yeah, it's, it's, it's hard to explain without the visual like, of the field and looking at the players. Like if you watch, if you were to watch a game. I think. I know it's, it is complicated. I think it's complicated and there's a lot of.

[C]

It's complicated.

[B]

It is complicated.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

It's complicated. And just like you have to know like James is like gearing up to explain. Do you think you could explain this?

[C]

This?

[B]

Oh, you're gonna have a lot of fans from our, our international fans are gonna be pissed at you if you explain this wrong.

[C]

No, this is scary.

[B]

I'm, I, I don't even want you to do this.

[C]

This is like you're, you're walking on landmine. Easy.

[A]

Let's do it.

[B]

Okay. I, I said I was not gonna try to explain things cuz I, it's. No, I'm terrified to do this because I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get something wrong and our international fans will be like, kill it. But it has to do. I believe it has to do with players on a certain team cannot go past a certain point when players on the opposing team where they're, they're at on the field as well.

[C]

And what my, my question is, why does that matter? It's just not fair.

[B]

I think it has to do with the organization of the game. Like it would mess Things up, Scott. Am I right on that kind of football, too? It's the ball as well.

[A]

So if the ball is.

[C]

Sounds like mush to me.

[B]

What?

[C]

What do you mean it's the ball?

[B]

If the ball. Okay, okay. That's right. It's where the ball's at and where your team is at. So if the ball. The ball cannot. Not if the ball has not crossed midfield. You cannot cross midfield. Right?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, that's. That's effectively it. Oh, so it's just a matter of, like, why.

[C]

Why does that matter?

[B]

I think it would just. I. I frankly think it would just make the game. Like, it would mess up the game in ways where it's just, like, you would just position people down here when the ball's up here, pass it over to them, and it just kind of messes up the game. Whereas this keeps it kind of like, about the skill and playing it a certain way. Look, look, it's been a minute.

[C]

Yeah. And listen, I brought it up to talk about the fact that I've been lying about knowing it, not that you had to explain it.

[B]

I understand. I understand. We did the thing we said we weren't gonna do.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm probably gonna get annihilated. To be fair, guys, I am not an expert.

[C]

And I'm not. And to be fair, I didn't ask Shane what it meant. No, I honestly just want to talk about the fact that I think James.

[B]

Was excited that we had the little soccer field. We did happen to have a tiny little soccer field. We just happened to have it in Reed. That's just very funny to have. Yes, we will have in the comments. Let's have some real football fans explain.

[C]

Explain it to me. Like you'd explain, like, the mall explain to a theater kid when you do the ball shit. I'm like, I get it, but I don't fucking, like, just explain why, because I don't.

[B]

I completely understand. Because whenever I do catch a football game and I'm watching and they're like, oh, and that's offsides, I'm just like, what? Just let him. Come on. Just let him.

[C]

See. I. That's why I want to talk about today, though, is because if I hear that, I go, okay. And I. And I go, yeah, it's off sites.

[B]

Well. Cause you're not rooting for a team.

[A]

Are we. Are we really calling it football, though? I know. Are we really. Hold on. Are we really doing that? Because, you know, we called it soccer growing up. I know everybody.

[B]

We call it soccer.

[A]

But are we calling it football now? Are we changing? If that's what we're doing, I'm down to call soccer football.

[C]

I think we call it football if we call scrambled eggs, fried chicken.

[A]

There we go. Boom. Just like that. Just like that.

[C]

Let's hold ourselves accountable. Let's do it.

[A]

Let's do it.

[C]

Church.

[A]

Come on. Someone in here. Somebody in.

[B]

It's one that I can't, like. I can't scoff at because I'm like. They are literally playing with their feet. I'm like, that is football.

[A]

No.

[B]

Whereas, like, our football. It's just kind of a weird, big thing.

[A]

But I just need to know if we're all just making that transition together.

[B]

You.

[C]

I think it's a personal journey.

[A]

So I'm a soccer guy.

[B]

I mean, yeah, it is called soccer in America.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We call it, like. Yeah, like mls. It's Major League Soccer.

[C]

Like, God, we're so fudgeing stupid. We eat donuts in the morning. Soccer.

[B]

What are we doing?

[C]

We're so lame.

[B]

All right, so we're gonna have. All right, so. All right, already off the bat, we're gonna have chicken scientists talking about scrambled eggs. And then we need some. Some.

[C]

And then we have the bros. We.

[B]

Need some genuine, genuine football. Soccer fans being like, hey, here's how. Offsides, actually.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Here's why we need it. Because I've never understood, like, that's good. What is hindering the game from when someone does that.

[B]

So that's totally fair. When did that come into play?

[C]

And I want to apologize to anyone I've lied to their face if something off sites comes up. And I act like I know what I'm talking about, or I act like I know what happened in the game. That's what I mean.

[B]

Because a lot of rules, it's just like, they were invented, like, 100 years ago for different reasons. Like, I know in American football, right? Like NFL, the. The pass, like, passing the ball. I believe it's it. Once again, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it was invented or, like, pitched by Teddy Roosevelt. And the whole idea behind the pass was too many people were dying playing football. And he's like, okay, so maybe we can figure out a way to, like, oh, wow. Down the. Without people dying as much.

[A]

Wow. People.

[B]

And then people still die a lot.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Whoa. But back in, like, a hundred years ago, you watch, like, you're here about football stuff. It's just like. Yeah, it's just people just hitting each other on a field.

[A]

That's interesting.

[B]

Yeah. Now, I don't want to spread misinformation. Correct me if I'm wrong in the comments. Let's get a Teddy Roosevelt, football expert.

[C]

Roosevelt. Roosevelt.

[A]

Is it Roosevelt?

[B]

I thought it was. It's two O's.

[C]

Two O's.

[B]

Yeah, Roosevelt.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

Okay, but do you have something that you. That you act like, understand that I got.

[B]

I got stuff that I don't. I don't know, and I'm not going to pretend that I know.

[C]

Yeah. But I will.

[B]

All right. Yeah, let's. Let's have you.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Microchips. What the. Going on there in dogs. What. Why did you jump to that?

[C]

Because I've always thought about.

[A]

No, I felt the same way. And dogs.

[B]

And dogs. Is that where you both were?

[A]

Absolutely. We have dogs.

[C]

You know, Are you always figuring out where that shit is?

[A]

Microchips.

[B]

And you guys said indoors.

[A]

I was with her. I was with. I was definitely.

[C]

I knew this would imbalance us if Keith.

[B]

Okay, okay, okay. Let's. You know what? Let's go here.

[C]

No, I want to talk about it.

[B]

Let's travel here.

[C]

We'll come to us later. But explain what you don't understand.

[B]

I don't understand how microchips work, how they are made. Like what? Like, I understand they store so much information, but I'm like, where. How. How did we. How did we create this? And we know, like, oh, yeah, that'll. So all the stuff will be stored there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So the video game will be there. Yeah. So all the stuff you look at on the Internet will be over there.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, what the hell, man?

[C]

So if not in dogs, what are you talking about?

[B]

I'm talking about the microchip itself.

[C]

And how does it work? Is it.

[B]

Well.

[C]

Oh, well, that's. Hey, no judgment.

[B]

We.

[C]

We said no judgment.

[B]

Microchips are every. They're in, like, pretty much any smart piece of technology.

[A]

Like.

[B]

Yeah. Like, if you took apart an iPhone, I'm like, I just don't understand how this was built and how, like, where does. Like, when I'm on the Internet, when I'm, like, doing stuff on my phone, I'm like, I'm looking at information. I'm looking at the Internet. I'm looking at all these things. I'm like, when does that translate to the physical world? Right. Like, the microchip is where software and technology goes into what physically is happening and how. I know it's being powered by electricity. I get that. And I know that, like, silicon, like, can hold.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Stuff. But I'm like, I don't understand how we know when we're building it, how this works.

[C]

And when we build it, do we do it with our hands?

[B]

Well, they have machines that are like, yeah, but they have machines that it can, like. I. I don't know, man. Well, the first computers had to have been just super shitty, big, gigantic beefy monsters.

[C]

And I've met a couple people who, like, build one. Like when they build a PC or whatever.

[A]

A lot of.

[B]

We need to get Tim in the comments and he'll explain.

[A]

Does your dog have a microchip?

[C]

No. Does he?

[A]

No. No, not at all.

[C]

Honestly, if you. I could have bet $1,000. Pork chopping spork don't have microchips.

[A]

How small are they, though?

[B]

Microchips? Well, they vary size.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Depends on the motherboard. It could be big.

[A]

Yeah. But for like, dogs.

[B]

Oh, it's like a pillow still. So.

[C]

Yeah, you and I went straight to the dogs.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I always think about when I was a dog walker, like, I'd always be like, well, like, when we would lose dogs, we'd be like, hold on. Like if a dog ran away.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

And it was like, once a dog jumped out of my window, I. I didn't keep the child lock on. On and my windows were down.

[A]

Oh, for your car.

[C]

And this jumped.

[A]

Oh, no.

[C]

And then we were like, looking for him. And then I remember being like, doesn't he have a microchip? And my friends were like, My co workers were like, the microchip in dogs just has their name and info. Oh, it doesn't have a gps.

[B]

I'm actually, I actually am kind of shocked that that's not more of a thing, though. Like, at least, at the very least put it collars now.

[C]

Like, maybe it's changed since I worked.

[B]

Like, there could dog collars not just basically be an air tag.

[C]

I bet now they have that down. But at the time it was like, oh, all their microchips just have their information. So if you like, like, got it. If a dog showed up at the vet, they can like, scan the microch and be like, here's your house.

[B]

All right. Well, it's still something.

[C]

I bet people. I bet people air tag their dogs now.

[A]

That actually let me down a lot. I thought it was.

[B]

I'm sure the technology has evolved.

[C]

Yeah. A gps to be inside a human feels like a moving thing. Like a fucking dog feels kind of crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It doesn't feel like it's good for.

[B]

Because they can make them so small now. Stuff can be so tiny. It's Just like, I. I mean, I'm not trying to answer these questions.

[C]

I don't know. We're not. We're not. We're just talking.

[B]

We're just talking about. We don't understand. We don't get it. But I don't get, like, I, I understand how to use technology.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But I'm so fascinated by, like, how it actually works. Right. Like, if someone laid a microchip on this table and said, so how does this. How does it do what it does? I'd be like, I don't know, man.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

No, of course.

[B]

I don't know. I don't get it.

[C]

Do you have anything that you wanted to bring up today that you're a little nervous to say in front of people?

[B]

I don't feel shame about, like, the lack of knowledge. I think it. Actually, to be honest, I think I've gotten so used to it because on. On Reddit stories so often I find out like, oh, I completely misunderstand a certain type of thing. And then that's. That's sometimes very vulnerable because it's like, we're talking about human behavior and things that I'm like, oh, I'm such a fan of studying it. But then I'm like, oh, but I'm wrong all the time. And it's like, kind of a gift because I'm just like, oh, I get to, like, have a million people from around the world with different experiences watch it and tell me their experiences or tell me what they know. And I'm like, great. I now I know that, like, I'm constantly evolving because of it. I've learned so much from it, so I'm not really ashamed. And there's always some person who's going to make fun of you, and I'm just like, that's okay. Cool, man. Like, you're not incentivizing people to be open with you. If that's your response to things. Like, we should respond. It should be a great thing when people share that they don't know something.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, that's what we want, right?

[C]

Yeah, but it just doesn't.

[B]

Because now we just have a bunch of people pretending they know stuff and being. Not being vulnerable with each other.

[A]

Not even just pretending. A lot of people think they know, but they just don't do, you know?

[B]

And I think that's the majority of the time. Yeah, right. I think we should doubt so many things.

[C]

I have a character that I love playing that it's like, it's based off of these. This girl, a Couple people in my acting class. It even goes with just like, content, where they're like, you've never seen Back to the Future? Wait, how old are you? You've never seen it? Oh, my God. You know what I mean? Just like a lack of anything. I think I'm just, like, sensitive to it.

[B]

It's. It really, really. It does bother me more than I would ever share, except for right now. And it's. It's. It's especially annoying because, like, I love bookstores, right? And I love reading, and I try to read a lot. Like, I'd say this year I've. I've been reading like crazy, right? Like a book a week sometimes. But I'm like, I could continue on a pace of reading a book a week my entire life, and in any bookstore, any row of books that I'm on. I won't be able to read all those books in my lifetime. There's too much shit.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So I'm not going to shame anyone for not having checked out something, because there's infinite, infinite stuff.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

So I'm like, yeah. If anything, though, I think when someone hasn't seen something or engaged with something that I love, it's not a. Like, you haven't seen that as in.

[C]

Like, it's like excitement.

[B]

It's like, whoa, I get to see you experience. I want you to experience that because that's the closest I can get. Yeah, I get that. But when people are like, what, you don't know that or you haven't seen that? I'm like, come on, man.

[C]

Like, do you think that's a moose?

[B]

What do you want to happen here? Okay. Can I say. Can I say I did write down a list of animals and I wanted you to see. I wanted to see if. Yeah, I will say I. It's. It's fascinating to me because I love animals. I'm not doing the thing that we were just talking.

[C]

You're not at all. You're not at all.

[B]

And Keith, if. If you don't know these animals too.

[C]

Yeah, I feel like. Yeah, I feel like you're a perfect guest because you could. Do, you know animals?

[A]

I like animals. I like watching animal documentaries.

[B]

You're used to watch animal documentaries.

[A]

I do, I do. I enjoy watching them. But yeah, like, I enjoy. Sit back, smoke some weed, and, like, watch animal documentaries.

[B]

That's awesome.

[A]

You know what I mean?

[C]

I have a friend that puts, like, those animal documentaries in black and white.

[A]

Oh, that's weird.

[C]

On his tv, black and white.

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

He's a weird.

[B]

Animals have such cool colors.

[A]

Weird dude.

[C]

Anyway.

[B]

Yeah, he's a weirdo.

[A]

Platypus is weird, though.

[B]

They're super weird.

[A]

They're weird. Like, how do those are weird?

[B]

I actually don't. I. Hey, I don't know what the hell's going on.

[C]

What grade were you in when you learned about a platypus?

[A]

I don't.

[B]

The problem. The problem is I was just kind of obsessed with animals as a kid. I wanted to be a veteran. I wanted to be a veterinarian for most of my childhood.

[C]

I need to talk to someone and find out the gap in knowledge of. For me and, like, where that went because, like.

[B]

Well, when did you start getting really into theater and. And performing?

[C]

Oh, probably like middle school or elementary school.

[B]

What were you obsessed with as a little kid? I feel like everybody's sort of obsessed with something.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to think. I wasn't obsessed with animals. Just give me a sec.

[B]

It's okay if it's.

[A]

Take your time.

[C]

No, I was obsessed with, like, making, like. I was obsessed with, like, art. I was obsessed.

[B]

Yeah, you're obsessed with, like, art.

[C]

Like, visual art. I was obsessed with paint. Obsessed with just, like, doing stuff, like action. Not. I don't think there was any, like, thing. I was taking in stories. I liked stories. Like, yeah, Harry Potter. I like to like all that.

[B]

That's okay, I think. Yeah. Like, artwork and stuff is very much a thing.

[C]

And music, I love.

[B]

It doesn't have to be like, oh, I love studying something. I just mean, like, what were you doing? What did you enjoy doing?

[C]

I think it was music.

[B]

And there's a lot of kids. It's sports.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And they just want to play sports all day, every day, so that's what they know.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But for me, I just was obsessed with animals. So anything I. So I just want. I. Because I'm fat. When the moose thing happened.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I was like, this is fascinating. So basically we were looking at a poster of Ice Age.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And you know how there's the mammoth. The sloth.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

The saber tooth tiger.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And Angela goes, yeah, the moose there. And I was like, what? And she was referring to the mammoth as a moose.

[A]

How?

[C]

I don't understand.

[A]

You really thought it was the most insult. Did you?

[C]

Actually, I think that's all the same. Oh, no, it's not that. I think one is the other.

[B]

No, I think it's all the same. I walk into the woods and I see everything and I'm like, you're all one?

[C]

No. You know what I mean? I think you're all just kind of like.

[A]

I don't know. So is it like the. The trunks of the mammoth and it's kind of like. Like the. The antlers for the. The moose.

[C]

All to me is a reindeer.

[B]

Every animals are reindeer to you.

[C]

Like, I just think. I don't. The differences between them all, they kind of. I just blend well.

[B]

Sure. Okay. Okay. But a mammoth and a moose are very different.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like a reindeer. Getting a reindeer and a moose mixed up makes sense. I. I would. I'd be a little more understanding. I'm just fascinated. I'm fascinated because it's like. Oh, you're just.

[A]

I think I know what it is. It's like the. No, I really think I know why you think. I think it's the fur and the trunks and. It's the trunk. Okay, so you're confusing the trunks and the antlers for this for just stuff. So you're seeing hair and, like.

[B]

And I don't think you had your glasses on for that day, too.

[C]

So.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

But you know when you see someone get a Nemi. Those things, it's all the same.

[A]

No, no, it's not.

[C]

An Emmy. What is that animal?

[B]

An Emmy is a person.

[C]

What's the two big things?

[B]

It's there. I thought it was their hand.

[C]

A Golden Globe. What am I thinking?

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

It's their hands. No, they have hooves. Emmys have hooves. No, I'm looking it up.

[B]

Emmys have hooves.

[C]

No, Emmys have, like. It's like an archangel or some shit. Oh, well, James is losing it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, no, there's two.

[C]

There's two thingies.

[B]

I thought it was their. You're talking about their wings.

[C]

So what is it? Is that it's not a human. Because humans don't have wings.

[B]

So that's an angel from the Lord.

[A]

Yes. Bring you a gift.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Yes. Five people right over here. I feel it. $20. $20. Oh, yes, yes. Go fund me, go fund me.

[B]

Okay. I have some animals that I wrote down that I just want to see you describe. Just describe what you think that animal is. A manatee.

[A]

Oh, I know what that is.

[C]

Okay. A manatee. Hold on, hold on.

[B]

And you could give vague things.

[C]

Can I see a picture of it? No. You want me to describe it?

[B]

I want you to describe, like, what you think it is.

[C]

Trying to figure out water or land.

[B]

It's a little bit different, too, of, like, a word. Like the manatee.

[C]

A manatee sounds similar to me. Like moose. With some horns.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Big.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Why do I want to think water but not water?

[B]

Oh, interesting.

[C]

Does he swim? Did she swim?

[A]

Do they swim?

[B]

I'll give it to you. They swim. They're swimming.

[C]

But it's not a whale.

[B]

But it's not a whale.

[C]

So what the fuck is it?

[B]

Let's move on.

[C]

That's a perfect one where I am. I can place it, but what is.

[B]

No, I was writing these out, and I was like, I don't want to go too basic, but, like, it also got. But one of my favorite clips is when you guys are playing poetry for Neanderthals, and Courtney's like, male cow. And Angela is like. And Chance holding the bat goes, she doesn't know animals. She doesn't know animals.

[C]

She doesn't know animals. It's really funny.

[B]

It's just fascinating because I'm like, I am obsessed with animals, so I just.

[C]

It's very funny.

[B]

I love animals.

[A]

That's a bull.

[C]

A manatee is a bull.

[B]

No, no, no, no.

[A]

Can I tell her what a manatee is?

[B]

Please tell me. Kia.

[A]

Okay. So, like, they're really cool. They swim. Some people. They're actually related to elevation elephants.

[B]

Are they?

[A]

I believe so. Like, I might be wrong. I believe so. They're, like, actually related to.

[C]

And they're not at SeaWorld.

[B]

I don't. They might be. I don't know.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

That sucks.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

People thought that they. People thought they were mermaids back in the day.

[B]

They're very chill. They're like a grayish color, but they. They swim in, like, shallow waters. I would see them in Florida all the time, but they're these just big rounds.

[C]

So a crocodile.

[B]

They look a little bit more like a gigantic lazy seal that's kind of around.

[C]

Okay, so it's. I think it might just be, like, the similarities between them and I blend them.

[B]

That's fine. Okay. Got a couple others here for you. An emu.

[A]

Oh, that.

[C]

I legit can't tell you what that is.

[B]

You don't know what that is?

[C]

What is an emu? Is it a bear?

[B]

It's not a bear.

[C]

Is it a fish?

[B]

It's not a fish.

[C]

Emu. A polar bear. Nope. I asked a bear.

[A]

Why?

[C]

What the is an emu?

[B]

It's okay.

[C]

You could literally show me pictures of four things, and I won't be able to find which one's an emu.

[B]

Really? Okay. It's a. It's a. It's a big bird. It's like a.

[A]

It's the most dangerous bird is that.

[B]

It'S not the most. I don't. Maybe it is. I don't know.

[A]

Is that the emu? They.

[B]

They fought wars against him and lost. But is that true? They're like a.

[C]

How do you spell emu?

[B]

They're in Australia. They're like a.

[C]

This looks like an ostrich to me.

[B]

Yeah. They're not as big as ostriches, though. I've had some run ins with emus.

[C]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. I've gotten to meet a few. Where? Well, we went to Australia once and then there was one I saw on a, like, a farm, like, refuge here in California. They are. They've got a personality to them. They will get up in your face. They are very curious. Not. Not afraid to walk.

[C]

They don't fly.

[B]

They don't fly. They're big, though. But they'll, like, get up in your face and, like. It's crazy. No, like, anyone who works the. When we were in Australia, the people who work at the, like, refuge that we were at, we. They'd be showing us other animals and the emus would just, like, start walking up, trying to get in their face, and they would just grab their necks and just, like, push them away. Like, get the out of here. It's very funny.

[C]

Wow. I literally didn't know what an emu was.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Praying mantis.

[C]

That's an insect.

[B]

Yeah. You got it.

[A]

Yay.

[C]

Bug. All bugs are bugs.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

All bugs are bugs.

[B]

All right, this is my last one. Meat Keith. You know? You know what I mean?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

I feel like if you watch Animal Planet, you know what a meat is?

[C]

Is it like, look, it's a cat.

[B]

It's not a cat.

[C]

Okay, well then how am I supposed. Like, it's like. It's like, what. What is a meerkat? Is it like a monkey?

[B]

It's not a monkey.

[A]

More like a prairie dog. And it's kind of like a.

[B]

It's prairie dog esque. You know what a prairie dog is?

[A]

Oh, I'm not kidding. It's not a dog.

[C]

This is actually like, such a gap in knowledge.

[B]

No, it's okay.

[C]

Sick. That whole week we did animals and.

[B]

We just never missed Animal Weekend.

[C]

Never did a review.

[B]

It's okay.

[A]

Okay, okay.

[B]

You know Timone and Pumbaa from LAN King?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Timone. Timone. Timone is a mere Timone.

[C]

You should have just said, do you know Timone?

[B]

Wait, if I said what? What is Timone? Do you know what?

[C]

No, I'd say Timone is Timone. I'd say Timone's funny.

[B]

Timone is funny. That's what he is. And you. And you know what? You'd be correct. Okay, Angela, I feel bad cuz I'm not trying. I'm not trying to roast you.

[C]

I also, I also know the. The animal thing I find very funny. Funny.

[B]

It is funny.

[C]

Like, I don't find it embarrassing at all that. That isn't even touching the things that I was talking about today, like, being like, it's. It's lying about things. I'm very open about not knowing animals because I don't think it really shows if I'm stupid or not. It's like, it's like, I don't really.

[B]

I think knowledge. I don't personally believe knowledge is necessarily the correct barometer of like, intelligence, because I think we all have gaps in knowledge. Knowledge is like, related to your experience and what you've seen and read and done in your life.

[C]

Yeah. And I don't have, like, an ego about it. Like, I feel like you. You too. Like, when you don't things, you embrace it.

[A]

I'm just. Okay. I didn't know that.

[C]

Like, what is that?

[A]

Yeah, it's fine. I'm good.

[B]

Do you got anything else? Because you. You brought the banger of is scrambled eggs, fried chicken.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm gonna think about that forever.

[A]

I'm kind of stuck on that. Still not even like, funny. I just. And I. I don't think anybody truly knows, but something that I just don't understand. Space really, like, throws me for a loop. I think it throws scientists for a loop. I think it throws everybody for a loop. Because, like, what is it? Like, like, what the hell is it? And why is it, like, continuing to, like, just expand at a rate we will never get to the edge of it? Is there an edge? You know what I mean? Like, what does it actually mean? Like, why are we here? You know, like, what is this shit?

[C]

Yeah. What the fuck's an emu?

[B]

Entirely from there, literally. Can we get a. Can we get some sort of scientist in the. In the comments to explain us the meaning of life?

[C]

Yeah. And if have $5.

[A]

Right over here. Right over here.

[C]

I don't understand what the balls do.

[B]

What the balls.

[A]

Which balls we talking about?

[B]

Wow. We went from space to ball baseball.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

That's another thing I think I've said. I know that movie and I've never seen it.

[B]

That's fair.

[A]

Why would you do that?

[C]

What are the balls doing? Because you can say every body part does something.

[B]

What are the balls they're storing piss.

[C]

And they don't store piss.

[A]

What?

[C]

They don't store piss.

[B]

Okay, I'm not gonna. I. I think I know the answer, but I'm. We're not here to answer exactly.

[C]

But I'm just. I'm finally saying it. I don't understand what they are. I don't understand what you guys do with them.

[A]

What ball? Like our balls?

[C]

Your balls?

[B]

What testicles do.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

They're there as a weak point. So when you're in a fight, you go down in the splits and you go like this.

[A]

Have you ever gotten kids?

[C]

Are they like eyelashes?

[A]

What?

[C]

Do you know how eyelashes. Hold on. Is why you said true, that they're supposed to protect your penis?

[B]

No, no, they're a weak point where if you do the splits and you. You're in a fight with someone, you hit their testicles like this.

[C]

I thought you were saying the speed bags are protecting the penis and that's why they're there.

[B]

It's actually the polar opposite. In fact, if someone hits you in the balls, you're hoping your penis is like, whoa. And, like, gets it.

[A]

Yeah. It's the worst feeling in the world to be kicked in the balls. To be hitting the balls by far. And one of the ways. Worst feelings in the world because for some reason, the. The balls are hanging. Right. But when you get punched in them, they feel like they go inside your stomach. I don't know how it works. I don't know if you've ever gotten kicked or hitting the balls. It is the most painful.

[B]

It's hard to go through life without it happening.

[A]

Yeah, True, true.

[C]

So you'd rather someone hit you in the penis than the balls?

[B]

You'd hope.

[C]

God, I hate what I'm doing.

[A]

Absolutely.

[C]

That was on my list of. I didn't understand. We could just move on.

[B]

That's fine.

[C]

We can just move right on. We're just wisdom.

[B]

It's. It's a devastating weak point. And I. In elementary and middle school, it's particularly middle school, it's like everybody's just gearing up to try to strike them, strike each other there. I don't know what it is. Seventh grade, everyone's like, yeah, we're all going to try to kick each other's balls. Yeah, yeah, it's bad.

[A]

Hold on. What do the balls do?

[C]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't know. Sorry, I got to list more stuff that. That I just want to move right on by.

[B]

I don't get sewers. What, like, what's going on down there? How big are they? What? Who's checking on that?

[A]

Okay, that's.

[C]

Is it a top?

[B]

Like, how big. How big are the sewers?

[A]

Some of them are tunnels.

[B]

I also. Okay, can I also really say something I don't understand when people are like, oh, yeah, so, like, there's Seattle, and then it's built over old Seattle. And I'm like, how do.

[C]

What. Okay, what.

[B]

When we say, like, oh, it's built over the old city, I'm like, it. That. That's doubt. Like, we just.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

How did. What do you mean? We started building on the roofs.

[C]

Okay. So I did a. I did a. I did an Amazon Alexa commercial. And. And it's funny about. Amanda did the exact same thing. I remember it was, like, right when I was working with at Smosh, she was like, oh, y. They do their spots over in Seattle. And she would. She used to go. So I was there for, like, a week. And they wanted me and these three guys to bond because they wanted us to, like, be like. Like roommates. We had to do, like, six spots together. So they were like, hey, we're fine. They're flying you in a day early so you guys can hang out. And they. They got you guys, like, a Seattle tour of the tunnels. And it was just like, me and these two random dudes from the commercial audition, and we took this tour. I don't remember why, but there was a whole room. Reason for the tunnels.

[A]

But really?

[B]

Oh. Oh, I thought you were about to tell me.

[A]

You were.

[B]

You geared up. Like, you. You told us, Angela. You geared up to tell us a story. You gave us the buildup and then said. And then. Yeah, so anyways, you did the exact.

[C]

Same thing with an emu.

[B]

What are you talking about?

[C]

You didn't explain it, so. No, I remember. There's a big fire. There's a huge fire. Wait, there's a big fire in Seattle? So then they built everything better. And then.

[B]

But they just built it on top of it.

[C]

And then they kept that down there just in case there were more fires that they go under or something like that.

[B]

I think my question just is, like, where is the ground level? Where does the soil begin? Yeah. And where is it? Buildings. And then we built buildings over building. That's what it makes it sound like.

[C]

Do we build the sewer first, or does that come next? You know what I mean? And where is that? Is the sewer tunnels?

[B]

The sewers are definitely. There's. I mean, there are tunnels. Yeah, but, like, how big are these tunnels? Because Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has me believing, like, oh, there's a big network and you could, like, have a secret base down there.

[A]

Did you. They said there's something, like, under us in la. Like, there's some, like, tunnels or some, like, weird shit. I don't know. This is just what I've heard at.

[C]

Ucla, there's a tunnel system.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Yeah. And then you'd go in the middle of the night, like, when before you graduate and you go tunneling and you, like, run through the tunnels. You're not allowed to, but that's why you do it before you graduate.

[B]

Run through tunnels.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah, there was like a whole. Yeah, I guess. Like. Like, why. Why do places have tunnels? It's crazy to think about.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I just. I just am like, sewers. How often are people checking on them? And like, I don't know, I'm just like, what's going on down there?

[C]

Yeah. Like.

[B]

Cuz as a kid, remember the rumors of, like, there's alligators in the tunnels?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

In the sewers.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And I would be like, what if there are.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If one got loose down there, who's checking on it?

[C]

It's actually so true. I remember, like, looking in the little hole. Hole. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like that. And being like, what's down there? And like, being scared, like, Chucky's gonna come out.

[A]

No. A few of my phones are down there.

[B]

Okay. Speaking of sewers, though, something else I don't understand is we live in la, right? Big city. But I know that there's tons of, like, raccoons and skunks and, like, other big animals all over you. Are you following? Yes.

[C]

Don't you.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Sorry. Sorry. I started thinking about.

[B]

You start. No, you start. You started looking confused. I was just like, I. I could. I'm happy to explain what it's like.

[C]

Thinking about, like, dancing and stuff anyway.

[B]

But there's tons. And there's possums all over the place. Like, we see them all the time. But I'm like, where the hell are.

[C]

They and where do they stay?

[B]

Where are they? Where are they? There's all these big animals all over the place. And I see them sometimes at night. At night in Burbank, I saw the biggest raccoon of my life. And I was like, where the hell is that guy living all day? Cause I'm like, I don't see him ever.

[A]

A lot of skunks, they, like, burrow, like, underneath things, like, underground a little bit. They'll make little, like, dens and stuff. I'm pretty sure. Cause I have, like, a family of skunks that stay in my neighborhood, and some of my neighbors have gotten sprayed. Ooh.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Yes. It's really bad. It's really bad. Even to the point where some, like, coyotes. Coyotes come into town now just to try to get to, you know, different. Like. Yeah.

[C]

Come into town for pilot season.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They were trying to get that Wiley Coyote movie.

[C]

When you get skunks, like, do you know what's happening?

[B]

I'm sure you know it's happening. Apparently, it is, like, one of the worst things that can happen to you.

[C]

Why? You just smell.

[B]

Or, like, it's like a smell that's so much. It's not just a bad smell. It's like.

[C]

I know the smell, but, like, are you. Like, it's on your body?

[B]

I think, like, you smell it when you're driving. You can smell that a skunk got hit on the freeway. Apparently, like, actually getting the spray on you is.

[A]

It's really bad.

[B]

It's truly horrendous.

[C]

Oh, my God. That's so scary.

[B]

And it, like, does not come out right. It takes.

[A]

It takes a while. They say you're supposed to use, like, tomato sauce or something like that, I believe.

[C]

Oh, my God. Okay, wait.

[B]

Yeah, skunk scientists. Get into the chat.

[C]

Get in the chat. Wait, this is good. This is good animal stuff. Someone in the chat has to help me. Last night, I was taking my dog out, and I heard a sound. Sound? Who. What kind of animal is this?

[B]

Okay, let's hear it.

[C]

Let me try to see if I can get it, and then I'll say, that's it. No, no, that sounds like a dog.

[B]

Was it. Did it sound like a bird?

[C]

I don't know.

[B]

Was it like. Like a who?

[A]

That's probably an owl.

[C]

An owl in the middle of the night?

[A]

Yes. That's where the owls are outside.

[B]

I.

[A]

For you, they are not turnal. They are not turnal.

[B]

That is probably the most synonymous animal with the night.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

I cannot think.

[A]

They're not turtle.

[B]

I cannot think of a boar.

[A]

That's a. That's an owl.

[B]

An owl at night? Are you crazy?

[C]

No, but tell me if you. If you know that sound. It felt low to the ground is why I was freaked out, because I thought it was a coyote. And it's like.

[B]

Okay, to be completely honest, it could be a lot of things. Yeah, right. Because, like, it sounds like you're making, like, a who sound.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

I've been hearing an owl near our place at night it's so wild because I've never seen an owl in real.

[C]

Life in L. A. There's like tons. And you're right. Where are they going? Right?

[B]

Like where are these things? They're so good at hiding. It's kind of terrible.

[A]

Where do coyote side? More so than anything. They're out.

[B]

They're out. And that's also another one in Arizona. I saw them all the time. They find places to hide, man. It's. That's what's wild is in the city, right? Like when I'm out camping in the woods, I'm like, I get it. This place is so vast. There's so much stuff. But in the city it's so weird. When I see these things, I'm like, where do you go that you don't run into humans ever? I'm fascinated by it.

[C]

And like, how have they changed now living in the city? Like at UC a lot?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

They used to be like the squirrels at UCLA looked like different. Like look like a different species of squirrel because they have access to so much more food because there's so much trash and there was so much like just like campus food everywhere. These squirrels were fucking massive. And they're like. The squirrels are not gonna look like squirrels. They're gonna look weird to you. And it's cause they're big.

[A]

Oh my God, I love squirrels.

[B]

Squirrels are adorable.

[A]

One of my art teachers told me that I have the attention span of a squirrel squirrel.

[B]

Well.

[A]

And she wasn't lying.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Not lying at all.

[B]

Yeah. I was about to say, like squirrels have good memory because they remember where they store their nuts. And I remember that they don't remember.

[C]

They don't remember where they put them.

[B]

They don't remember where they put those things. There's a crazy video of someone like a worker going up. I think it's like a satellite type of situation. There's some sort of big electrical device like up on a pole and he's opening it up and just. It was just filled to the brim with nuts that come out. Cuz squirrels were storing nuts in the there and then would just forget about it.

[C]

Oh, how humiliating.

[B]

I know. Their whole stash. Years of work gone. Devastating. No, squirrels are hilarious. Okay, okay. I've got other things.

[C]

I got more too.

[A]

I have one.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. Keith hit us.

[A]

I don't know how friends work, how friendship works. Because I feel like when it comes to. Well, I guess I do. It just depends on the person, you know, because there are so many. I have different types of friends. Right, Right. And they require different types of, I guess, things that they need in order to, like, water the friendship or whatnot. And I guess I just answered my own question.

[B]

Hey, that's beautiful.

[A]

Yeah. Never mind. I know how friendship works. I know how it works.

[C]

No, but you mean, like, the ways it's different for each person.

[A]

Yeah, like, it's just like. But like, I just figured it out. It's different for each person.

[C]

So, I mean, like, once I figured out, like, with specific friends, different love languages, that already was, like, yeah, a lot.

[B]

It's such a complicated thing. And that's another one where, like, bringing in, like, Reddit stories, like, everybody has such a different view on, like, friendship, and it's so complicated. And especially, like, as society changes and, like, the Internet and, like, phones and, like, how we communicate has completely shifted how friendships work. And, like, the thing I hear so much nowadays is, like, when you're an adult and you don't have friends, it's like, how the. How do you make friends? And it's like, there's just not a good answer. Right. It's just like, hey, you're on your own journey.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And you kind of just have to find it. And it's like, it's. You balance out everything, right? You're balancing out your level of honesty, forgiveness, boundaries, all these things. You have to balance it with them. And then it's like, oh, if this isn't working, if, like, how we balance this doesn't work, then we can't be friends. It's not. It's like, man, though. But you need friends, right? And you want friends, but you also don't want bad people. And, like, you don't want people hurting you. It sucks.

[A]

It also takes for two people to. Or how many other people. It can't just be one person. Like, you guys both have to agree. That's what you want.

[C]

Totally.

[B]

Yeah, totally.

[C]

I remember when I learned that, like, just like, that my. There was friends that I loved so much that I just kept feeling like sources of conflict would happen when I didn't see them after a long time. And that's when I learned that love language, to me, time is not a love language. Like, I don't. Like, if I haven't seen you in a while, we're on pause.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And then, like, a lot of my friends are like, oh, if I don't see you, you don't love me. Like, if you don't hang out.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Like, I. Some of my closest people I Don't. I don't see that often. I just think, like, we have a very special bond. And I think that was. I like, honestly tried to figure out why and I walked it back and I was like, oh, I grew up and my parents were always out of town.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And they made me still feel very loved. And like, they, like, we never had distance. But then there are so many of my friends that'll just be like, how are you? What's going on? And I'm like, whoa, what shifted?

[A]

Yeah, nothing shifted for me. Yeah.

[C]

And once I learned that, I was like, oh, my God. Now I can like, operate with friends that are like that. So much better. Because now I know it's like a currency for them. And some people are that way with like, touch and.

[A]

Yeah. Sometimes I just need a call, you know, just a little check in.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It's a hard thing, though. And I think it's like, that's one of those things that you're never going to perfect. Right. You're just kind of always adapting in some way or another and learning and you just kind of have to like, forgive yourself for not knowing how other people work in every aspect of the way.

[A]

Truly.

[B]

And hope they are lenient for you. But it's. I think that's a mystery forever.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I don't think there. I don't know if we're ever going to like, map out how that works perfectly, you know, like, that's just a constantly evolving thing. And that's problem too is like, we could. We could learn everything about how a human works, but humans are evolving constantly, so it's like it's always going to be outdated. Right. I don't know. Hey, I don't know.

[C]

Hey, I don't know.

[B]

Let's get behavioral scientists in the chat to tell us how friendships work.

[C]

Yeah. Get in here next to the emu girlies.

[B]

We got the emu girlies.

[C]

I have one that I think you guys can answer. I'm just scared to say it out loud.

[A]

Say it, don't say it.

[B]

No judgment.

[C]

This goes back. I also just Google this very quickly. I don't know why, but it's in my head. I remember in class when they were explaining this and I zoned out what a filibuster is.

[B]

A filibuster. Okay, I know what a filibuster is.

[C]

This thing that you have to waste time.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Effectively waste time. So the way our. But this is also remembered that our political system is stupid in a lot of ways.

[C]

What do you mean?

[A]

What?

[B]

So a filibuster is. I believe it's like, okay, we need to like we're proposing laws in the Senate or in the, in Congress. I'm stupid in a lot of ways on specifics, but it's like, okay, we have this amount of time. We need to have this resolution passed by a certain point of time. So someone will be like, all right, I'm going to get up on the podium and as so long as I'm talking, we cannot move forward from that subject. From that subject. Or just they'll basically stall a thing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And so they will. I think it happened recently. Oh, what's his name? Cory Booker did a filibuster for like 48 hours. And there's, there's like rules to. You cannot pause for a certain amount of time. You cannot do. And so they, they just talk for a certain amount of time to basically like. But what, Stall things?

[C]

Yes. Okay. Okay.

[B]

Because if for instance, like a. Democrats, like, oh, I don't want the conservatives to pass this bill.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If I talk for 48 hours straight, they won't be able to like, I will pass. I will hold this off. And it's a big. Once again, let's get some political scientists in the chat to correct me on this. But it's why it's a big thing of like, they, it's, it's brought up a lot of like, should we take it out? Should we outlaw the filibuster? Because when a Republican, when the Republicans are in charge of everything, then it's like, oh, but the Democrats can use the filibuster to like, halt, hold it.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

But the same is when the flip happens.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's like, oh, shit, Republicans are filibustering this really important fucking thing that we want to get passed. And so it's kind of like it's a shitty thing for like four to eight years. And then it's like the thing that's.

[C]

Helpful and it depends.

[B]

Tough thing with like the gridlock that America has.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Of like the two party system.

[C]

Okay. You did a good job.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And I know you didn't get the specifics or whatever.

[B]

I'm probably wrong on so much of that, but essentially it is, it is quote, unquote, wasting time.

[C]

Because I've known that part, but I never have known like what the reason.

[A]

I know what it.

[B]

You keep talking, you are allowed to talk for forever essentially in certain political realms.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Got it.

[B]

And they cannot stop you. So as long as you keep talking, they cannot move forward.

[C]

We should have that in a games video.

[B]

A filibuster game.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

48 hour live stream. Angela's talking for 48 hours, guys, come on. Angela's talking.

[C]

We have negative views, all right?

[B]

I have a very vulnerable one. And this is not really a knowledge thing. I'm just like fascinated by how people. People work. I've brought up many times in these past couple months about my inability to dance and my insecurities around it. I'm fascinated by like music's playing and people just start like dancing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm just like, how. What's going on in your guys heads? Because like I understand, I understand. I understand choreographed dance where I'm like, yeah, you know the movements but like people are dancing. I'm just like, what is it like a thought process or like.

[C]

That's amazing.

[A]

Yeah. Can I ask, did you grow up, did your parents dance growing up?

[B]

Did you see. Not really saw them, but my, my parents. My dad has like really good rhythm and he actually can dance. They never were like insecure about dancing, but I didn't see them dance that much.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

I love.

[B]

We're not like a dancing family. But I'm just like, I'm fully aware of every part of my body dancing. So I'm like thinking about like where I'm putting my feet and what I'm doing. But I look around other people dancing and I'm like, oh, it's like you're mindless and you're just like. But I'm like, are you thinking about what you're doing or is it just.

[A]

Really know, like maybe like what's going.

[B]

On, going on in your head when you're dancing? Because I'm thinking about how I'm dancing.

[C]

Yeah. And that is, I would say a part of it is like to try to silence that brain. Because I think what is incredible, I don't. This is such a good one. Because what is incredible about dance is that it's just your body moving. Right. And like the more you separate it from thought, the more free you feel.

[A]

Right, Exactly.

[C]

But then I do think a lot of good dance is connected to thought. So that like, I don't think they're synonym. Like the. That is always the rule.

[B]

What do think? You.

[A]

Exactly. No, I agree with you. Like you said, it's not always like how it goes. For me personally though, I think at this point I just grew up dancing. Like we always played around the house. My mom used to teach us how to clap one beat. Cause she did not want to have some Rhythmless black kids. She's like, we not going. We're not doing that. We're about to clap to church music. It's like, all of that. But, like, over time now, I just, like. I mean, you could, like, even just swing your arms and just make it fun. You know what I mean? Like, it's freeing. I enjoy it. I just enjoy.

[C]

But it takes. I think it takes a level of, like, you have. It's a freedom that you're. That you're like. Like zoning in.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And that's what feels so good.

[A]

But that's the thing. Yeah. I don't think. Even if you're not good at it, I guess, per se, just go for it. Because I see some people that, like, they. They move and they're just having fun and they have no rhythm, but they're having so much fun. It makes you move, too. It's just a freeing situation. Like, I don't expect you to be the Jackson 5. You know what I mean? And maybe that's what you want to be, but, you know, but it's almost the opposite.

[C]

It's like, actually. It's actually kind of blowing my mind.

[A]

Yeah. That's actually really good because I'm thinking.

[C]

About it and I'm like, really good dance. Like, the drug is if you have it down correctly, which is if you feel free and if you don't, you don't get to experience how fun it is.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And, like, you have to get through that hoop to experience how. It's almost like. Like a certain sport where if, like, you can't run super fast, you're not experiencing how fun it is or something like that. Like this.

[B]

It's getting into the flow state. Right. Like, And I. I just never have achieved that with dancing.

[C]

Yeah. It's funny, though. My parents didn't grow up dancing. Like, in my household, there wasn't a lot of dance. But in my middle school and high school, it was like, all dancers.

[B]

Cool.

[C]

And I, like, remember, just you were.

[B]

Just immersed so much. I mean, that's probably a benefit of performing arts.

[A]

For sure.

[B]

School is.

[C]

Yeah. It's just a lot of, like. But, like, we're talking specifically with, like, free movement rather than, like, that's the.

[B]

Type of dancing that I'm like. Because we've done so many choreographed dances.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

When it's choreographed, I actually feel fine.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

So I'm like, yeah, I know what I'm doing.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

It's still not great. But I'm like, I know what move I have to do. Whereas it's like we're playing music. So it's like dance. I'm like, what do I do?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'll never forget this was years ago when I think it was one of the first few months that you and Courtney joined and me and Olivia and Noah, we have been here I for a while. But we had to do something with Ian and Anthony. I think it was like some type of branded shoot. And then smosh games. Do you remember? And Mari and Mari had to teach us like hip hop. And like, we learned it what brand wanted you guys to do in video. And it's so funny because we're doing like these old, like 90s moves. And Shane kept up. Like, he actually kept up. And that was the thing. He was like, oh, man, I don't want to dance. I don't to want to dance, only to like do the movements. And it's like, yo, he get.

[C]

Like, you can keep up. Like, well, like, like precision based and choreography based stuff is just kind of. It's athletics, right? And it's like moving your body a certain way, but like the act of like feeling free and like kind of.

[B]

Like where it's hard.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Unless it's. Unless it's pole dancing.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

So what's up? What's up?

[B]

Have you never seen. Have you ever. Have you never seen me pole dance?

[A]

We all. We took a pole dance.

[B]

It's still my greatest moment.

[A]

Sheila. Sheila. Sheila taught us Sheila.

[C]

I don't know Sheila. Oh, Sheila.

[A]

Sheila. Yes.

[C]

Wait, can I. I'm not gonna watch content during our content.

[B]

We can pull this up.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You're pole dancing.

[A]

We all pole danced.

[C]

Not Noah.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Shane. By far the best. The best.

[C]

I was watching summer games. Can I show you my impression of Noah's walk? I think I got it down.

[A]

Yeah. It's just long and lanky.

[C]

He's like forward.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You wanna talk?

[A]

That's him. That's him all day with his forehead.

[B]

That is Noah, I think. Here it is.

[C]

Oh, my God. Like, oh, my God.

[A]

Incredible.

[C]

You're legit pole dancing.

[B]

To be fair, when we went to there, I didn't know that the polls spun on their own. And when I learned that, when I learned that they spun on their own, I was like, oh, all I got to do is hold on. I was like, I can do that. And so I'm like, let me just hop on this and just freaking ride. Like, this is awesome.

[A]

He's incredible. It's incredible. You never seen that video?

[C]

It is your Face. You're like.

[B]

I'm like, yes, yes.

[A]

Having a ball. Having a ball.

[C]

I just want to look at it again while you guys could talk.

[B]

All right. Keep looking at that.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

That's so.

[B]

It was a blast.

[C]

Yeah. You.

[B]

You've never seen this?

[C]

No.

[A]

This video has to be, like, 10 years old.

[B]

It's about 10 years old.

[C]

I think you have, like, an arch, too.

[B]

I. I'm nervous to try it again. I wonder if how I could do.

[A]

Legs are, like, doing exactly what they're supposed to do.

[C]

You literally, like. And you're changing it.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

This is incredible.

[A]

That takes a lot of upper body strength.

[B]

Thank you. So pole dancing, freestyle.

[C]

You got it.

[B]

That's me. But if I get on my feet, it's on my feet that I'm weak. I don't know what to do.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, I'm trying to think, like, what's genuinely going through my brain when I'm on a dance floor with my friends and there's music playing, Like, Like, I don't think I, I. I wonder if you, like, ever in your brain go, I want to do this move. But I think you do.

[A]

Yeah. And then sometimes with friends, like, if you're doing a move, then it's like.

[C]

I'm gonna do it together.

[A]

And it feels so good when you're doing.

[C]

So we are thinking.

[A]

He's just like, no, There is, like.

[C]

A thought behind it, right. Where you're just like. And we're doing it together.

[A]

It's about. It's for, like, if you're dancing with somebody, doing the same move together just, like, makes it so much more fun.

[C]

And then it evolves.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

It's a little bit, like, past the sounds.

[A]

Yes. And it's like, okay.

[C]

But it is interesting because I. I feel very connected to what you're saying, because I remember being little around so many incredible dancers and not having that freedom yet and kind of staring at it for so long and mimicking it, which wasn't freedom. And then finally, something. Something shifted where I was just like, yeah, I don't. I don't remember.

[B]

This is what he needs.

[A]

He needs to go to a Zumba class.

[B]

Zumba class. But he needs to go to Imagine me in Zumba.

[A]

He needs to go to a Zumba class in the hood somewhere like Inglewood or something like that, because you gonna freeing that you need.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I think that's what you should do.

[C]

I also think maybe dancing in spaces that are darker. Like, I swear nobody can never have thoughts when. No. And so Anyone seeing you, it's about you not seeing yourself.

[B]

That's you're actually completely correct there.

[C]

Like. And that's when I feel like super like just having fun.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Well, this has been very vulnerable. Before we go, Angela, Courtney and I got you a gift.

[C]

What?

[B]

We got you a gift. So this is random. I meant to do this up top. Oh my God. This is the very little silly thing. Now you're aware of the boo boos, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

So Courtney and I have bought like a labubu or two of somehow controversial subject because people think they're stupid. I think whatever about them scientists sign off in the scientists. But there's a lot of different types of little blind box things nowadays, right?

[C]

What's a blind box?

[B]

A blind box is. It's there. You buy like a box and there's a little figurine inside, but you don't know which one you're going to get.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

It's kind of a big thing right now.

[C]

So we're like going back to Happy Meals kind of.

[B]

Yeah, that is kind of what it is. But anyways, so I saw there's a line that's not labo. It's a different little line. And I saw it and I go, oh man, this could be a great gift for Keith or Angela or Amanda or myself. I don't know if you're catching on. And so I bought this blind box and I was like, I don't know which one I'm going to get. And then I got one. Oh my God. And it. It happened to be.

[A]

Oh, sorry. Sorry.

[B]

But you'll see. I. I was kind of. I was kind of. I was kind of hoping it would be one for Keith. And it wasn't.

[A]

It wasn't.

[B]

And I wanted to buy more, but I was like, I don't know which I'm going to get. There's some that aren't. Wouldn't be for anyone.

[C]

So this is so sweet. Cuz Courtney looked at me and goes, shane and I have a gift for you.

[A]

Walked away.

[C]

Sh.

[B]

And I have a gift for you. Dude.

[C]

Oh my God.

[A]

Oh, it's little pose.

[C]

Oh my God.

[B]

So it's not a keychain, but it's just a little figurine to get dipsy or tinky winky.

[A]

This is fine. I'm. I'm happy for you, Angela.

[B]

Sorry. I. When I got. I was like, truly like. I was like, I wonder which one I'll get. And then we're like, oh, we got po.

[A]

Cool.

[C]

We could dip it in green and give it to you.

[A]

No, no, no. The thing is, Pork Chop will get to it and it'll be.

[B]

You know, I truly. The urge I felt to be like, what if I got more? And I got Tinky Winky and Dixie and La La. But I was like, no, I'm going to end up getting doubles. Or like. And they got shopping here.

[C]

It's so soft. Crazy. Guys, toys are back. Anyway, Keith, thanks for being here.

[A]

Yes, absolutely. Thank you for that having me.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Dude, this is heavy.

[C]

It's really cute.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah, I love this. I would. It would. Okay, maybe Smosh can buy some more boxes. Because if we could get the set, that would be. Of all the Teletubbies.

[C]

Let's get the set.

[B]

And we just have them there. And all of us play the Teletubbies.

[C]

And we have them and we have the little set.

[A]

I'm down.

[C]

I don't have a desk, but I'm. I've been making the Vo. Boo my desk. We'll get to that later.

[A]

Wait, wait.
