Transcript

[Manalee Hankanto]

Welcome back to Smosh Mouth. We have another beautiful guest with us. My name is Manalee Hankanto with my host, Shane Topp, and this is our lovely guest.

[Shane Topp]

Hey, my name is Tommy Mo. Welcome to the channel.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yes. Welcome back to midnight at Midnight.

[Tommy Mo]

It's midnight here always.

[Shane Topp]

This takes so much breath work to actually do, you know, doesn't it?

[Manalee Hankanto]

We'll be calling in love songs. We got another caller from Highway 20 about the love songs. Yeah, my wife is cheating on me.

[Shane Topp]

Just like horns in the background.

[Tommy Mo]

We got another caller calling in. Yeah, my name's. My name is Dale. Working on a truck. I just want to say, you know, I've been listening to you guys for four years. I say you're really big fan.

[Shane Topp]

Dale, we're going to have to ask you to speak up.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Dale, we're going to have to ask you to speak up.

[Shane Topp]

Speak up, Dale.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Dale, we're going to have to call 911 and have to hang up on you because we can't handle this.

[Tommy Mo]

Anyways. Here's the commodore.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay.

[Tommy Mo]

All right, guys.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I could do that forever. We're here with Tommy.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, man.

[Shane Topp]

What's up?

[Tommy Mo]

It's Smosh Mouth. We're here with Tommy. Tommy, you're so silly.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You're so silly. Thanks, Tomi.

[Shane Topp]

I don't know.

[Manalee Hankanto]

When you do that. Doesn't work.

[Tommy Mo]

No, it's not.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Tavi, you're so silly. But also, I feel like you're a lot.

[Tommy Mo]

Let's go, Tommy.

[Shane Topp]

I've noticed that you are so silly.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Tobee, since you're such a silly, silly boy, we realize that you are just like us, where you have a lot of ideas and inspiration probably constantly going in your brain.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Is that true?

[Shane Topp]

I mean, it's yes and no. I'll have plenty of ideas. It's actually. It's actually about whether my brain is like, your ideas are good or your ideas are bad. There's always ideas. It's more about the mindset, you know?

[Tommy Mo]

Okay. That seems fair. I would say out of all the cast on camera, you have the most, like, insane jokes.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

Jokes are the most. I don't know where it came from. Jokes. Everyone else's. I'm like, I get where the process came from.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, thank you very much.

[Tommy Mo]

I get where that showed up.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Everyone else is pretty predictable. You, on the other hand, I. I.

[Tommy Mo]

Know they could be unpredictable, but. But if I sit and think about it, I'm like, okay, Amanda clearly met someone at some point who just was insane, and she learned how to morph into them. Yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Or I just am, you know, that person. I feel like I'm just like this big fucking ball of body who's just in their house. Like, turn on the tv. I feel like there's a part of me that's like, what is that person in Star Wars?

[Tommy Mo]

That big beast, Jabba the Hutt.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I feel like I'm halfway Jabba the Hutt of like, a woman in her house. Like, turn on the TV and get me another glass of shot and then.

[Shane Topp]

Somebody get me a snack.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. So it kind of comes from that.

[Tommy Mo]

Okay.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Don't know.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, I really don't at all.

[Manalee Hankanto]

But Tommy understands that, right?

[Shane Topp]

Oh, absolutely. Oh, I'm full job the Hutt.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Job of the Hutt.

[Tommy Mo]

Right. I'm full job below Jabba the Hutt.

[Shane Topp]

Blow.

[Tommy Mo]

Jabba the Hutt. That's our new character ideas.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Totally Jabba the Hutt.

[Shane Topp]

Totally Jabba the Hutt.

[Manalee Hankanto]

So when you have good ideas, are you like, okay, they're amazing. Do you have to like.

[Shane Topp]

So what really happens is. And I've noticed a pattern now. Like, now I know. So, like, cool. Then this happened last night. So, like, it's crazy. I feel like I get touched by, like, the comedy God sometimes. And I'm in bed and I'm like, about to go to sleep. It's always right then you get touched right in bed. Oh, and you know. And I've got some traumas. Yeah, no, but I'm in bed, I'm like, getting comfortable, and then all of a sudden it'll be like, oh, that's the direction this sketch should go in. And then I'll take out my phone and I'll be like. And then like, two hours will go by and I'll be like, I just wrote a script. And then I'm like, yes. And then I'll go to sleep. It always happens, like, right before. And then I'm like, oh, thank God.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I know, Me too.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. You know, I heard that Mitch Hedberg, the stand up comedian I love, he would. He would have a metal plate and he would hold a pair. Hold a thing of keys in his hand as he was going to sleep. So that, that's because that's when he'd have the best ideas. So they would come to him and he would wake him back up and he would write down those ideas.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Dude, I was obsessed with Mitch Hedberg. What's another word for. What's a word for how to open doors or something like that? That's on a bagel. Open sesame. Wow. I butchered that joke.

[Tommy Mo]

He also has. No.

[Shane Topp]

And some are very predictable.

[Tommy Mo]

He has the one where he's just standing silently and just goes, dogs are forever in the push up position. Yeah. And you're just like, what?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yes.

[Shane Topp]

That's great.

[Tommy Mo]

I. I think I'm sort of similar. I don't know exact. I haven't pinpointed exactly when my ideas come to me. They just show up sometimes. I specifically remember when I came up with the sassy leg infantry idea. I was just. I was getting out of the shower and, like, I kind of had, like a towel on. I think I caught myself in the. In the mirror and I started, like, just kind of moving my legs like that, like, pointed around and I was like, oh. Oh, this is really funny. What if it's a drill sergeant? And that's just where. Where it comes from? Others I just don't know. But in talking about all these ideas and stuff, we had this. Amanda and I were talking and we were like, what if we just delved into our notes apps on our phone? Because I'm sure we have a ton of. Yeah. Specifically our iPhone.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Specifically iPhone. If you have an Android. Not a Android or a landline like the old Jabba the Hutt lady in her kitchen. Don't. You can't write anything there.

[Shane Topp]

You can't.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You can't. But if you have an iPhone and you have the notes app. I don't know about you guys, but I have multiple different lists of characters or ideas through the years, and I always have to write new. And I'm at a point where it's like, new, new.

[Tommy Mo]

Yes. Oh. Oh. You can see the different layers. It's almost like how geologists study the layers of time by looking at it. You can study where I was at and all these things. Mine is so disorganized and so stupid. But the more disorganized and stupid looking a note is in my phone, generally, the funnier it is. If it's really organized and well written and entitled, it's not as hard. I end up hating it. It's not good.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And you have to really. I. For me, I now have to give myself context clues because sometimes I'll go back and be like, woman with hat. I don't know what I meant.

[Tommy Mo]

I have a ton like that.

[Shane Topp]

I have so many.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Right. I have so many. That's like, man with that one shoe. Or like, don't stop me. I'll just have quotes.

[Tommy Mo]

Awesome.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Don't stop me. Where I'm like, like, wow. I'll never figure out what that means never.

[Tommy Mo]

How many are in there when you're not sober? How many are in there when you're drunk?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Zero. Well, that's not true. That's not true. If I am going. If I'm out, say, I love people watching. That's where I get my best ideas, obviously. So sometimes when I'm out, I'll literally listen to what they're saying, and I'll write down everything that they're saying. Like, quote, especially when I was in Boston.

[Shane Topp]

Oh.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And then if they're good, then I'll do, like, a series on them. Right. Like Wet Cop. I had, like, a Boston bartender. But. Or shows. Like, if. If there's, like, a reality show of a character that I like, I'm like, oh, my God, that is. But I have to write down what they say because that is really, like, a true characteristic of, you know, a person.

[Shane Topp]

For me, I need to get better about.

[Tommy Mo]

I need to get better about that, about people. Like, I. People watch, but I don't. People watch with a, like, goal in mind. I'm not sitting there looking at someone and being like, oh, I need to turn this into a character. I'll just observe and be like, that person's crazy.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

And then I don't think about it. There's one guy that still stands out. Where I really need to do this is at the gym. Because the gym has just.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, sure.

[Tommy Mo]

Insane guys. Just insane guys.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

Thinking back, there was a guy at a gym forever ago. This is like, over 10 years ago. And every gym has this guy. It's a guy who's somewhere past 70, and he's. But he's wearing all the shit he Wore in the 80s. So he's wearing, like, cut jean shorts, way too short.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Red hot. American summer vibes, literally.

[Tommy Mo]

No, this one guy, he had an American flag bandana that he wrapped around his head, and he had that. And he had the gloves, and he had the. And he had the tank top.

[Manalee Hankanto]

American Gladiator.

[Shane Topp]

Literally, like, Transformers into a motorcycle when he leaves.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. And he's gonna give. He's gonna give every guy tips. Or like. Yeah, see, that's funny.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I love that because it's like when you see a character like that and you turn it into, like, something more, I feel like that's really such a fun way to, like, look at characters is like, go like, oh, my God, this guy. What if he turned into a motorcycle when he left? You know what's funny? That you said that. I was just on the east coast, and this guy was letting Cars in. And he's like this 90 year old man, and he always makes you, like, there's like this string that he holds. He always makes the women limbo while they go under. He's like, do a little limbo. And you're like, oh, not now, since I have five cool in my hand. But he's like crusty and like from the sun. And he's always like, have a good day. And I literally, this whole vacation, I was like, dude, he turns into a crab at the end of the night. Literally. He's like, have a good day. And then all of a sudden, it's like all the cars leave. And he goes, finally.

[Shane Topp]

And it's like his little eyes go, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

He goes, beep, beep. And the whole back, the whole back becomes like a crabby crustacean. Then he goes, now it's time for.

[Tommy Mo]

Me to do a little limbo.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. Now I get to limbo on the.

[Tommy Mo]

Little rope because I'm a crab. I can perfectly fit under anything.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And he goes back into the ocean. Yeah, that's what he is. He turns into a crab.

[Shane Topp]

That's where he belongs.

[Tommy Mo]

Does every single one of your characters turns out to be a transformer?

[Manalee Hankanto]

No.

[Shane Topp]

I've always noticed that about all of.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Your characters sometimes, but I think that they all have the potential to turn into an animal. They all have the potential to turn into an object or an animal. The crab guy, though, I said it to my husband and he was like, oh, my God, Yeah, totally. I'm like, yep. So now every time I see him, he's like, do a little limbo. I'm like, so the ocean's calling you. You better get in there.

[Shane Topp]

Your meat is very delicious when you crack it open.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I just said, you want to stand this?

[Tommy Mo]

I'm gonna boil you. Okay. Do we want to just get into our news apps? Because I feel like we're talking about a bunch of ideas.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

Who wants to go first?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Tommy.

[Tommy Mo]

Let's just share about Tommy.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Why don't we do, like, should we do like a few, like, at a time?

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, yeah. Like, you know, share a couple. And then first I just want to, like, no, no.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I just read my first one and I'm like, no, no.

[Tommy Mo]

My first one. I'm pretty. This is.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Go ahead, Shane.

[Tommy Mo]

This isn't even titled. This just has a few ideas just written on it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

First is in quotations. It says, I think he's being ratatouille. After that, it says, anyone with a big hat could be getting ratatouille.

[Manalee Hankanto]

What?

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, is that from ratatouille?

[Manalee Hankanto]

No.

[Shane Topp]

Everything everywhere.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Everything everywhere.

[Tommy Mo]

Well, yeah, I guess that's. That's.

[Shane Topp]

They made a ratatouille.

[Tommy Mo]

They made a ratatouille. But I think it's funny to be suspicious of anyone with a big hat and that they could be getting ratatouille.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I actually. That's actually funny.

[Shane Topp]

Any cowboy.

[Tommy Mo]

Any cowboy could be getting ratatouille.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Any cowboy.

[Tommy Mo]

Just cowboys with the big, big 10 gallon hats. What if I wear a big hat and go out in public and act insane and make people think I'm being ratatouille?

[Shane Topp]

You just need someone who, like, follows you around and goes, I'm so sorry. He's just. He's being ratatouille.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Sorry, he's.

[Shane Topp]

Excuse him.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, he has a little rodent on his head pulling his hair.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You're just in jail for the rest of your life.

[Shane Topp]

Do you have an almond? He might be a little.

[Tommy Mo]

The mouse only eats almonds.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Almonds.

[Shane Topp]

I have like. Okay, first of all, I have to throw this out of the way because I had a rand. So what I did last night is I collected my randoms so that I'm not searching for five years on my list.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Perfect.

[Shane Topp]

And I had one that was just before you cry, you can say, your eyeballs are rock hard. Quote, I'm about to bust a duct.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wow.

[Tommy Mo]

Wow.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I'm about to bust a duck. I'm about to bust a duck.

[Tommy Mo]

Boo. Bro, I want you, please, to say that the next time you're about to have a heartfelt SOB like you're in the middle of, like, a real conversation with someone.

[Shane Topp]

Sorry, I'm about to bust a duck.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's actually really funny. I feel like that's a teenager son who literally. I walked into the mom role again, literally can't talk about his feelings. So he's like, mom, I'm about to bust a duck. I'm a mom.

[Shane Topp]

My heart hurts.

[Tommy Mo]

If I'm at the gym and I'm about to cry, I'm gonna make sure to yell that out.

[Shane Topp]

Okay, good.

[Tommy Mo]

I'm about to bust a duck.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And then the guy goes, jump on my motorcycle. And he turns into a fucking motorcycle.

[Shane Topp]

Jump on my motorcycle. I mean me.

[Tommy Mo]

I mean, me.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Maybe we should all just read our first one and go around.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay, here's mine. It's so dumb when your hair talks to you. Jump, jump, jump in a bun.

[Tommy Mo]

You've gotta be kidding me. What?

[Manalee Hankanto]

What? Literally, I don't. I actually don't Remember this?

[Shane Topp]

Jump, jump, jump.

[Manalee Hankanto]

When your hair talks, you jump, jump, jump in a bun.

[Tommy Mo]

So wait, is that all supposed to be one idea or is that multiple things in one sentence?

[Shane Topp]

Is that what your hair is saying to you?

[Manalee Hankanto]

I think your hair goes, come on, jump, jump, jump. Get in a bun. I don't. I don't fucking know, you guys.

[Tommy Mo]

Okay, okay, so, so far I've been a drunk one. I would say so far Amanda's winning in just in terms of. You really write down.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Literally will write down anything. And see, it has to be a quote also. Cause jump, jump, jump, jump.

[Tommy Mo]

Tommy, I feel like yours is a full on, like standup joked, you guys, stand up joke. Mine is sort of a holy shit.

[Manalee Hankanto]

It's just the one new. New.

[Shane Topp]

You don't put spaces?

[Manalee Hankanto]

No, no, I don't put spaces. I just do dashes.

[Shane Topp]

That looks like a novel.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I just do dashes, guys.

[Shane Topp]

I love dashes.

[Manalee Hankanto]

This is just the one. This is one new new characters. If you search characters, you'll see like 20 of them.

[Tommy Mo]

Amanda has 100 years of solitude written in her notes app. Okay, go ahead. I have another. This is all still from this one. I have one note that is like five ideas. The other one says, calling a plumber. And Mario and Luigi come in and just fuck shit up.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's actually legit.

[Tommy Mo]

That's just. Yeah, that's very much like, oh, I'm trying to think of a smosh. Yeah, that's like a lot you can tell are like, oh, that was a try not to laugh idea that I wrote. And that's very much one, like, I need a plumber. And then two guys come out as Mario and Luigi and just throw Avengers everywhere.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Absolutely.

[Tommy Mo]

Tommy, go ahead.

[Shane Topp]

So then I started writing down, like. Okay, so let me. Okay, let me get through a few nonsense ones.

[Tommy Mo]

You gotta read a couple.

[Shane Topp]

You can read a couple.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Read a couple.

[Shane Topp]

Okay, I have. And there's no. There's no description past.

[Tommy Mo]

You got it.

[Shane Topp]

Pov. You're an nft.

[Tommy Mo]

Okay.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's actually smart.

[Shane Topp]

Underneath that, my son is an nft.

[Tommy Mo]

Okay.

[Shane Topp]

And then underneath that pov, you're the cdc. I don't know.

[Tommy Mo]

Cause it rhymes.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Lots of fun letters.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, you're having fun with letters.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You were having fun with letters. I like letters. I like pov.

[Shane Topp]

But one that was also part of that chunk that I liked was dad convincing kid to be bad. So Santa gives them coal because the dad is a train conductor.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wait, that's actually brilliant. That's weird. That's weird. Gotta get my Trainer off. That makes me feel so weird. Kids be bad for Santa. And then he's just like, choo choo. And then it's 10 minutes of him on a train. It's like a weird short.

[Shane Topp]

Son.

[Tommy Mo]

Son. I need you to kill a man. I need so much coal.

[Shane Topp]

We gotta get to Montana this weekend. I don't think we can make it.

[Tommy Mo]

How much coal will Santa give you? I like that it's. It's proportional to how bad you are. He'll give you that much coal. At a certain point. He is helping you. He's doing a good thing.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's so good. Okay, I'll read a couple. God. One just says nancy Grace.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Which I'm like, there's plenty.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, you can crush a Nancy.

[Manalee Hankanto]

There's plenty that I could do with.

[Shane Topp]

And may I say, that is all you had to. You know what I mean?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah, exactly.

[Shane Topp]

Just write Nancy Gray. And you're like, got it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Got it. Done and done.

[Tommy Mo]

The key is to write as little amount as possible that gets the point across. And Nancy Grace sells it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Nancy Grace. Most of these are people that I've seen. I think a lot of these aren't middle of the night ideas. I think a lot of these are people watching. Drunk guy with his dog. I should just call him Uber because I just wanna wrap my arms around him and have him take me home.

[Shane Topp]

Aw.

[Manalee Hankanto]

So I remember this guy, he literally kept calling his dog. He's like, I should just call my dog Uber because he's so big. I just wanna wrap my arms around him and have him take. That's sweetest thing I've ever wrote. Block Island. Because that's where it was. Okay, this one. I don't get it.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, that's just my Social Security number.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I don't get it. The sisters. Metaphors. It's like having shit on your face. I'm good. Or. Or a house that's rotting and everything is great, but your clothes all smell.

[Tommy Mo]

Wow, that feels dark.

[Shane Topp]

There's a tone.

[Tommy Mo]

That's Alanis Morissette.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's just a lyric from Alanis Morissette's latest album. Guys, can you repeat that?

[Shane Topp]

House.

[Tommy Mo]

Wait, what?

[Manalee Hankanto]

So I think I'm trying to make metaphors about sisters.

[Shane Topp]

About, like, having sisters. Right?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Having sisters. It's like having shit on your face, but you're good. I just wrote I'm good. Or a house that's rotting and everything is great. But your clothes all smell. Guys, I don't feel this anymore. Right, but your clothes all smell. Guys, I must have Thought it was genius. Cause I really. I wrote extra things.

[Tommy Mo]

Wow.

[Shane Topp]

Sounds like having sisters is fine, but also a little bit of a burden.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Also. Also this one. Mom. Mom. The woman who is bosses with death. See? Short film idea. What in parentheses. I have a whole short film thing.

[Tommy Mo]

Okay.

[Shane Topp]

I love that.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. Guys. I don't fucking know. This is not good. Okay, keep going.

[Tommy Mo]

This dark. I have two left on this one. This is my, like, a recent one. Who can fall asleep faster challenge. And then.

[Shane Topp]

You'Re going down, bro.

[Tommy Mo]

A live stream just. And then I just wrote beans from Even Stevens.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wow.

[Tommy Mo]

So I have that.

[Shane Topp]

That's a Nancy Grace. Wow.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's Nancy Grace.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, this is a real dumb one.

[Shane Topp]

Ready?

[Tommy Mo]

I don't know what mindset I was in when I wrote this. Coyote Peterson getting bit by a bug. And then in quotations, it just says, holy crap. Oh, my God. It's immediately so bad. Dude.

[Manalee Hankanto]

What?

[Tommy Mo]

That's just.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, it's inflamed already.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, immediately so bad. And then underneath, I wrote that. What if Coyote Peterson bit the bugs instead of. Actually, that's just the plot of Man Spiderman is what I wrote. Do you know Coyote Peterson is.

[Manalee Hankanto]

No.

[Tommy Mo]

Coyote Peterson's a YouTuber. He's this guy who wears, like, a really cool hat. Like a. Like an Indiana Jones type hat. And he. He goes around the world and interacts with animals. He has, like, an animal YouTube channel. But his most viewed content is when he has, like, horrible insects sting him.

[Shane Topp]

Wow.

[Tommy Mo]

He'll hold out his hand. He'll, like. He'll have them bite him. Like, it's insane content. He's my dream guest for. Try not to laugh because he does a completely different thing.

[Manalee Hankanto]

He would do anything.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. So he should. Come on. Try not to laugh. And put the gloves on with bullet ants.

[Manalee Hankanto]

What the hell?

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Shane Topp]

Holy.

[Tommy Mo]

But anyways, I wrote that, so I think it was maybe in my head, like, doing an impression of Coyote Peterson.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I love it.

[Tommy Mo]

I love that.

[Manalee Hankanto]

See, that's the thing. You don't know. You're just trying to figure it out, and you just don't know.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

All right.

[Shane Topp]

Very related to that for some reason I have. And I remember coming up with this idea and then being like, I'll never do this. Okay. Steve Irwin looking for shapeshifter. It's been all over these pots. Shifting shapes. And then in parentheses, the shapeshifter looks like Steve Irwin when he finds him.

[Tommy Mo]

And he's like, oh, E. Wait.

[Shane Topp]

I think in my mind at the end of that, if that were to Be like a sketch. The Steve Irwin we followed from the beginning is the shapeshift.

[Tommy Mo]

That makes a lot of sense. I was about to say that you.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Were actually pretty fucking cool and interesting.

[Tommy Mo]

He finds Steve Irwin, and that Steve Irwin goes, finally, I found you.

[Shane Topp]

Exactly.

[Tommy Mo]

And then it's this whole twist.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Mine is mine. Mine are really, really.

[Tommy Mo]

Amanda's having a break.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Mine are really dark. Mine are really dark. Someone bad at hashtags. Hashtag noidon'twanna. Thanks.

[Tommy Mo]

Wait, I love that. Hashtag no, thank you.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Hashtag, I don't want a thanks. I actually wrote that in as a hashtag. This actually really happened to me. A woman at the gym. Complimenting. Nice body, gorgeous body. How'd you get it? My husband sent me here because he said I'm getting fat. That happened to me in a gym bathroom.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, my God. What?

[Manalee Hankanto]

I was like, okay, thank you so much.

[Tommy Mo]

Holy shit.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah, I know. It's. God. Mine are. Mine are dark. Oh, your bum smells. Prank calls.

[Shane Topp]

Whoa.

[Tommy Mo]

Your bum smells. Prank calls.

[Shane Topp]

I didn't know you had an iPhone when you were 12.

[Manalee Hankanto]

No, no, my sis. I. No, don't worry about it.

[Tommy Mo]

Don't worry.

[Manalee Hankanto]

The amount of prank calls I did as a kid are fucked up.

[Shane Topp]

You were a prank call kid?

[Manalee Hankanto]

I prank called constantly. And I conference called, so I would conference call people and they go, hello, Hello.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, you just put them on the phone together.

[Tommy Mo]

That's awesome.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Call me. No, we'd call, like, people who just broke up or a teacher and a student.

[Shane Topp]

Whoa.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, you were hardcore.

[Manalee Hankanto]

My. My really good friend from home wants to get the prank call thing on there where it's two landlines going like this. So they talk to each other.

[Tommy Mo]

Dude, that's devastating. That's. That surprises me.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Then you listen in on their conversation. Isn't that messed up?

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, you were.

[Shane Topp]

You got to do. You got to do a little demonic shit when you're.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I was a Naughty, naughty. Okay, go ahead.

[Tommy Mo]

I have one. This is a. This is a full sketch, or not full, but it's like part of this is like the idea of when. I probably wrote this really quickly. Interior, house. There's two guys, Davis and Brian. Davis. Yeah, man, I cheated on my wife. Brian. Oh, my God. Yeah, I feel awful. Holy shit, man. I don't know what to say. It's okay. I don't expect pity anyways. You see the new Barbie movie? Oh, yeah, I have. It's so good. You gotta see it. I've seen it like three times. Okay. Knock at the door. Oh, fuck. My wife's home early. Whatever you do, do not tell her, okay? Okay. Oh, Cynthia walks in. Oh, hey, Brian. What are you. What are you doing here? Oh, I just stopped by. We were talking about the Barbie movie. Davis. Dude, what the fuck? Cynthia. Davis, what's going on? Nothing, babe. Davis was telling me how. How he. How he saw it. And that's all. Nothing. Nothing else? Cynthia, you saw the Barbie movie? Davis, we've talked about that movie. It's woke. We agreed not to watch woke movies. Davis. No, babe, I didn't see Barbie. I was too busy having an affair. What the fuck, Cynthia. I wish that were just the case, Davis, but I see through you. So it's a thing of, like, don't.

[Shane Topp]

Barbie's worst.

[Tommy Mo]

Don't tell her, but recent sketch. He thinks. He thinks, oh, don't tell her about the affair.

[Manalee Hankanto]

But it's.

[Tommy Mo]

Don't tell her I saw the Barbie. And then it turns out Cynthia is anti woke.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Cynthia's a bitch.

[Shane Topp]

Cynthia.

[Tommy Mo]

That's a dumbass sketch.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wait. I kind of love it, though.

[Tommy Mo]

What else you want? You want me to read more? Yeah, give us one more. Okay. Oh, these are things that I wrote down, and then I actually, I pitched to Spencer and Alex for the Games Channel.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And what was their response?

[Tommy Mo]

I think they. They haven't said yes or no yet, so I pitched.

[Shane Topp]

If we see this later, if you see this.

[Tommy Mo]

If you see this on Smosh Games, you won't see it for a bit or maybe, I don't know. But if you see it, you know that it came from my notes app. Sniper Chess. So two people playing chess right here at this table. Someone's up there, and then have two people on the other side of this set with sniper Nerf guns. So after we both take a turn, they have a chance. And they're. They're also on our teams. Like, you have a team member and I have a team member, and your team member tries to shoot a Nerf gun and knock my chess pieces off the board. And then it just counts to the chess game. Oh, so you get to just be like, after they both shoot their Nerf guns, if they knock a bunch of my pieces off, you have a huge advantage. And that sniper chess, I thought.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I thought it was shooting at you if you.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, no.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Like, king is caught.

[Shane Topp]

That's not how it works. Can you play chess?

[Manalee Hankanto]

No, my husband can't.

[Shane Topp]

I can. You can. Shane.

[Tommy Mo]

I sort of. I know chess, but not.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Not.

[Tommy Mo]

I'm not.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I could play backgammon.

[Tommy Mo]

I don't know. I don't know strategy, but I. But I can play chess. And then I also had Jenga with pool cues, which I think is really fun. So like, one of those big Jenga sets, and then. And then instead of pushing it out with your hands, you have to use a pool cue and knock it out.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, you know what I thought?

[Shane Topp]

Pool noodle.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I thought it was the pool cues as the Jenga.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, no. That's insane.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Guys, I'm not.

[Shane Topp]

Well, our brains are bad.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Our brains are bad. It's not. Yeah, our brains are.

[Shane Topp]

You said the right words.

[Tommy Mo]

So those are some ideas. And now we're gonna probably get into weirder and weirder things from me.

[Shane Topp]

Great.

[Tommy Mo]

So, Tommy. But you go.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah. Okay, so quick pivot to pivot right back in. I used to say that my biggest fear was seeing an atomic bomb go off a little too far away from me to kill me immediately. So I have, like, a countdown of knowing when I'm about to get killed. Right. That's my very specific fear. You're right.

[Tommy Mo]

Have you seen Oppenheimer?

[Shane Topp]

I kind of refuse to.

[Tommy Mo]

Don't see it.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah. My new biggest fear is accidentally hitting someone while driving like, a pedestrian.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's a big one.

[Tommy Mo]

That's up there for me. Yeah.

[Shane Topp]

I am terrified of that big one. Anyway, so meditating on that first biggest fear, I have this idea for a sketch where I see the bomb go off, and I'm in my room and I'm like, shit, I'm about to die. I'm like, let's put on my favorite song so I can at least listen to it while I die. And then I'm scrolling through my Spotify for, like, a minute and a half, and I'm like, no, not that one. Not that one. Which one do I want?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, my God. Wait, does that distract you from death?

[Shane Topp]

Well, you know, I figure, like, if you're going out, it's like, let me put on my favorite jam. And then I'm like, oh, not that one.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And then the bones just like. And you're like.

[Tommy Mo]

And you finally get to a song, and you play, but you don't have enough Internet connection for it to load.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You're like, the wifi. Whoop. That's amazing.

[Shane Topp]

And then to lighten that, I have professional distractor. Shaking hands.

[Tommy Mo]

Nice.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. Mine are getting to this. Look over here. Mine are getting to this place. Okay, these are just. I don't even understand these. Fun with girls. Yeah. Pop star in pain.

[Tommy Mo]

There it is.

[Shane Topp]

Okay, that feels good. No, I like that one.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Champagne woman saying, don't go, oh, what? I don't know.

[Tommy Mo]

Don't go. I like, oh, I think I know where you're getting at with that one. That's a woman with champagne. You're at a ball and, like, a guy's leaving. Like a James Bond type of. And she's like, wait.

[Manalee Hankanto]

She's like, don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go. And he's like, I never going to date you anyway. She's like, okay, bye.

[Shane Topp]

Okay.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Sephora mom trying to connect with kid. These are getting sad.

[Tommy Mo]

Okay.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Aggressive real estate agent. These are now just characters.

[Tommy Mo]

I like Sephora mom trying to connect with kids. Like, son, do you know why I brought you here to Sephora? It's because all of us wear a mask. All of us put on layers. We all put on layers.

[Shane Topp]

I also think you might be gay.

[Tommy Mo]

To get you started.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay, this is a long one, and then I'll move on. This is when I actually listened to a woman and wrote down everything she said.

[Shane Topp]

I'm so excited for this.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Mary at the bar. I'm getting a tattoo of my dog Jaeger. I want it right here. So anyways, my son is in Alaska. Why the fuck he's there? I have no idea. So who's he? Whatsy says he's a good shooter because, you know, he was in the military, and then he was like, well, what do you want? And they were like, for you to move to San Diego. And he was like, all right. And I was like, do it. Fucking do it. Don't live so far anymore. He's the best, seriously. So who's he? Wussy Told him it's a go go, huh? No, he's not going to move, but I'm going to keep telling that guy to call him till he does. Anyways. Drink Margarita. It's all the gold Tequila. So you can have a good night. You guys coming to the bar? Hot. Whoa, guys. She must have been talking, and I must have been going, yeah, but I'll never use that.

[Tommy Mo]

I wish the writing would start to be like, hold on, guys, I need to stay on the phone with you. There's a woman that I think is writing down everything I'm saying. I feel crazy, but I'm pretty sure doing it literally.

[Manalee Hankanto]

But of course, she had, like, a fucking Boston accent. She was like, I got a tattoo of Jaeger. He moved to. He moved to Alaska. Which I'm like, fucking move so far away. But you know what I'm saying? Anyways, so how's your Margarita, gold, Tequila. So if you read it in a Boston accent, it all makes sense. It all makes sense because I swear they all have 500 stories going. And then the crop, the past, they like, bounce between. Yes.

[Shane Topp]

You understand you should be a court sternographer, I think is the name. Yeah, yeah, you can.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, I also really want a job of being the court stenographer.

[Tommy Mo]

Want to learn shorthand.

[Manalee Hankanto]

All I want to do is play a role like that in a movie. Because if you watch them in the court, they're just going. And it's like, scratch that from the record. And then they go.

[Tommy Mo]

Then you wave a hand in front of their face that they can't see.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You're like, wait, there is this amazing.

[Shane Topp]

Meme they're really good at hearing.

[Manalee Hankanto]

There's this amazing meme that my friend's obsessed with of a court stenographer drinking. Like, she's drinking your coffee, but it's going too quick. This is real. And it spills. So she just goes. Of the whole mug.

[Tommy Mo]

She goes, you have to do a stenographer.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I have to. I just want to do a court thing. And then just quickly pan over to me and I'm just like.

[Shane Topp]

If you wanted to do it live, all you'd have to do is get an audio recording of a court. And you. You play it and you sit down just in the middle of a stage and go, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Tommy, that's brilliant. Is that my next moment show?

[Shane Topp]

And you don't have to, like, even say anything. It could be completely just, you know.

[Tommy Mo]

What our goal should be? You know how multiple times, like every year, a fake sign language interpreter ends up on a stage somewhere doing just crazy shit. Like, they're just. They're doing the YMCA from the Village People, and it's like a high up politician or something. I know, you should try to do that, but as a stenographer.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah, Sneaky.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, I could do it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Scratches from the record.

[Tommy Mo]

We need to get one of those. We need to get one of those shorthand machines and just see who can do it best.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Nobody can.

[Tommy Mo]

Well, we should try to learn shorthand. That's a funny goal.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I would love to, guys. Maybe that's my one woman show. It's 45 minutes of me doing that.

[Tommy Mo]

I would watch it.

[Shane Topp]

That's performance art territory. I love that.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, I haven't. Okay.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I actually have to write that down in my notes. Can you write that down in your notes now?

[Shane Topp]

Oh, you're scrolling to the top.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I'm so. You have to put the new ones.

[Tommy Mo]

At the top, I have a lot that are not jokes. They're just me trying to remind myself of things. I. I have one that just says clothes, and underneath that, it says camp collar, shirt, chinos. So I think that was me just trying to be like, here's some clothing items.

[Shane Topp]

Here's some clothes I want to do.

[Tommy Mo]

Here's some stuff. Loud. Mime.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You love mimes.

[Tommy Mo]

Mimes are just funny to me. And then I have, underneath that, I wrote, guy who is regular. And underneath that, I wrote.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay, Shane, Guy who is regular. That's me.

[Tommy Mo]

Guy who is regular.

[Shane Topp]

Guy who is regular.

[Manalee Hankanto]

He is regular.

[Tommy Mo]

I'm gonna do it on trend. On.

[Manalee Hankanto]

We're not part of that.

[Tommy Mo]

Then I have. Underneath that, I wrote. I wrote, guy who is not regular.

[Shane Topp]

No.

[Manalee Hankanto]

What is wrong with you?

[Shane Topp]

Look at this.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Look at this. Look at this. You opened a whole new note section.

[Tommy Mo]

I do new ones.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You're insane. That's.

[Shane Topp]

No, that's. What I do is I do. That's why. That's why last night I was like, I need to spend an hour, like, collecting.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You guys have to do it on one big line.

[Tommy Mo]

Look at you scrolling through it like no fucking Bible.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You can't have space. It's only insane.

[Shane Topp]

You're insane.

[Tommy Mo]

It's on the Road by Jack Kerouac. It's bullshit.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Who. Wait. Who's a guy who's regular versus a guy who's not regular? I don't know.

[Tommy Mo]

Guy who is regular.

[Shane Topp]

Guy who is regular.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Hey, how are you guys? Who's not regular? Did you see my car? I don't know. That's.

[Tommy Mo]

That's guy who's regular.

[Shane Topp]

That's guy who's regular.

[Tommy Mo]

Come on.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You're right.

[Tommy Mo]

I have a. Like a. I have a lot of smosh games. Types or pit pitches. Impossible. Question game. Two players have to ask pop culture questions they're sure the other can't answer. I guess it's like you go back trying to. Trying to ask a question you're certain that your opponent can't answer, and you go, until one of you does get one.

[Shane Topp]

Right. Interesting.

[Tommy Mo]

I don't know.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Ask me anything about football. That'll. That'll. That'll work.

[Tommy Mo]

Who did Tom Brady play for?

[Manalee Hankanto]

The Patriots.

[Shane Topp]

All right, video's over.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Videos.

[Tommy Mo]

And then it ends. Yeah, the video ends.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And then there's just snipers, like, and then there's nerf.

[Tommy Mo]

Nerf. Snipers. And then underneath that. I think this was a story idea. Dream skippers, they learn that everyone is trapped within a single Man's dream.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's so scary.

[Shane Topp]

Dream skippers.

[Tommy Mo]

Dream skippers. What?

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's scary.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You guys remember the movie the cell with JLo?

[Tommy Mo]

I've never seen the Cell.

[Shane Topp]

I've also never seen it. Should I?

[Tommy Mo]

That's Anthony Hopkins, right?

[Manalee Hankanto]

She's, like, stuck in someone's body.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. She gets stuck in someone's, like, mind.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Scary.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Manalee Hankanto]

All right.

[Shane Topp]

All right. Guess I'm gonna watch it.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, this next app has a ton of shit. All right, we'll go. You go, Tommy.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Go, Tommy.

[Shane Topp]

I don't know which one to hop into here. Okay. Don't anyone, no one steal this. I might be making this, but this was in here. HGTV's Fuck My House. Exterior. House host stands in front of a street. He's a handyman type. A bit too energetic. The HGTV logo sits in the bottom right corner. Host. Welcome back to HGTV's Fuck My House. We sent Dave and Ron to a hotel so we could start working. Now we're ready. Show off what we've done. The host approaches Ron and Dave, the owners of the house. They're blindfolded. Dave, Ron, take off those blindfolds. Dave and Ron remove their blindfolds. Their expressions of hope turn to shock. Multiple people, nude, are humping the outside of the house. They moan in ecstasy. And he's like, let's head inside and show you how we fucked your living room. Interior. Living room. The three men move through the door past a man who's really into fucking the wall.

[Manalee Hankanto]

How do you fuck a wall?

[Tommy Mo]

I don't know.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Why do you fuck a. Can you imagine, honey? I love what they did with the kitchen. It's just five guys.

[Tommy Mo]

Like, yeah. So insane.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wait, you should save.

[Tommy Mo]

I thought it was going to be a thing where they messed the house up really bad. And then it was very literal.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Nope, that's Tommy. They very much fucked the house. That's brilliant.

[Shane Topp]

Okay, thanks.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I went to a new notes app. Bob and Brad show how to stretch hips. They keep repeating names. And they respond with yeah, yeah. Do not know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The brother of the heir to the throne. Creepy voice, high pitched, always curious, always finding ways to hurt his brother. I think that's just. I think that's just like the description of all the Thor movies. I almost died. Like Bob Saget. That's a real one. A woman said that to me in acting class. Oh, she went. She was wearing a bandage, a full bandage around her head in acting class. Oh, my gosh I'm not kidding. And she went. And we're all like. We were doing a check in. And she was, like, not doing well. And we were like, everything okay? She went, I almost died. Just like Bob Saget. And I went, what happened? And she was like, well, I slipped down the stairs. Luckily, I do yoga, so I barely got hurt. My limbs just went everywhere. And I was wearing a snow hat, and it protected me. I'm like, but why do you have a bandage around your head? Okay, that's a real one.

[Shane Topp]

Anyways, I kind of want to wear a bandage around my head to get attention.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, that's great.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Have a little blood spot.

[Tommy Mo]

I kind of want to do yoga, so apparently don't die.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay, here's another one. Security guard at Trance Fest. Trance. Not.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Thumbs up. Well, every time I went. Every time I said I went to Trance Fest, people were like, what? Trance music?

[Shane Topp]

Yes.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Security guard at Trans Fest, thumbs up, trying to signal, like on an airplane. Big mustache, really positive. Always aiding. Always aiding with the concert goers. I know it's a bad system, but I got to follow it. Thumbs up. What?

[Shane Topp]

Hell yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

This is a real guy that I was watching at transfest. Just like.

[Tommy Mo]

Dude. And then a plane lands on everyone.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Moving these people while the people were sitting in the dark, having gold. Having glow on their fingers, going, like, doing their parts.

[Shane Topp]

Like, doing drugs and stuff.

[Manalee Hankanto]

No, they were going like this to their partners, and they were like, this was Trans Fez and the stenographer's there.

[Tommy Mo]

Write down all the beats.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Thumbs up. It just says thumbs up. Thumbs up. Thumbs up.

[Tommy Mo]

Okay, I have one. I have a note titled Dumb Ideas.

[Shane Topp]

Okay, I am good.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Brilliant.

[Tommy Mo]

TLC boardroom, which is. I mean, tlc.

[Shane Topp]

The Learning Channel.

[Tommy Mo]

The Learning Channel, not tlc. Okay, what if we did a song called no Scrubs, No TLC boardroom, and, like, just them being the most messed up people on earth. It's like, all right, we gotta show it. We need a show. And then having a guy be like, shit, MILF Manor. And. But make it, like, really weird and, like, incestual. They're like, great. That's perfect. That'll fit in.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That could be a real show.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, speaking of fitting in, this is a show I actually think could work. Maybe I would do someday a show called Fitting in, where I try to be a character that fits in at a crazy place. So, like, I go to, like, some kind of convention, but I try to. I try to, like, go. Try to disguise them being like, so people would think that I belong there. And I interview people, but they don't think I'm an outsider.

[Manalee Hankanto]

So, Shane at Burning Man.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. And I try to be like a guy at Burning Man.

[Manalee Hankanto]

A burner.

[Tommy Mo]

I try to be a burner.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And you have to build, like, a wooden sculpture.

[Shane Topp]

Just tattered clothes.

[Tommy Mo]

I did pitch this idea, and we decided it doesn't really work for logistical reasons, but I would love to try it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

How many ideas did you pitch that Alex and Spencer went, oh, this is.

[Tommy Mo]

I don't always pitch it to them. I pitch it maybe to, like, Kiana or to the social department. Cast paints art and donates it to Goodwill to see whose ends up being worth the most. Like, we all paint stuff. We donate it to a Goodwill, and then we return to that Goodwill and stuff. What price? So, like, who's Is like, oh, your painting is only. They only selling it for a dollar. The problem is that when you donate it, they don't necessarily sell it at that same goodwill. So logistically, it was tough to be like, where is it gonna be at?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. Have you been to a donating center?

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You have no idea.

[Tommy Mo]

I donate so much.

[Shane Topp]

What if you did, like, a Buffalo Exchange or Crossroads?

[Tommy Mo]

I mean. Yeah, maybe that would do.

[Manalee Hankanto]

They do the crossroads. Do not be like, I'm sorry, is this Gucci, right? No, I don't take that. I don't know.

[Shane Topp]

That's why I do Buffalo and not Crossroads.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah, Buffalo. I don't think they take art.

[Shane Topp]

No, they don't. I was just saying they're more singular.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Can you imagine buying art at Buffalo Exchange? It's. I don't even know what it would be. Women with, like, sunglasses on.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

Last one here before I move on. I'm not done with this note. We'll come back to this, but it says D and D. Either a druid who talks to animals, or a human or demon who is a salesman, who is a warlock and makes deals with the devil.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wait, you already. You're doing half of that?

[Tommy Mo]

I. Well, yeah, I wrote this down before. This is from. This from April 3rd. So this is before we started D and D. That's.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's crazy.

[Tommy Mo]

I know. So that was like, I'll be a druid. That's what you wanted, Tommy.

[Shane Topp]

Wow. Similarly, like, ages ago, I don't have in front of me right now, But I saw it in one of the earlier swipes that I was doing. I wrote, oh, I found it. This was, I think, like 2019 or 2018 fake reality show reunion as a framework for sketches, which we did.

[Tommy Mo]

Fake.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, wow.

[Shane Topp]

Right?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Brilliant.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah, well, it worked, and it was funny. And then I have finished this sketch in huge, bold letters.

[Tommy Mo]

Great.

[Shane Topp]

Jesus in a saloon. Cowboy. Who's the new guy? Bartender. Oh, that's just our Lord and Savior. Praise him. Jesus with a cigarette and hat. Looks up, nods. That's it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You need to finish that sketch. You're like, it's finished.

[Shane Topp]

It's finished.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Watch that.

[Tommy Mo]

That's a Christmas movie.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yes. That's Hallmark in 20 seconds. Like Jesus in, like, a Jesus, Lord our Savior.

[Shane Topp]

He's like, howdy.

[Tommy Mo]

That's Jesus, Lord our Savior.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Howdy.

[Tommy Mo]

God bless him.

[Shane Topp]

And then I have. Now we're getting into just, like, garbage territory. Professional friend gets too many friends. Becomes overbooked. No longer professional friend.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Aw, that's so sad. Great. Professional friends.

[Shane Topp]

Too many friends.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Too many friends.

[Shane Topp]

Snapper in a band documentary. The snapper.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wait, I actually love that. Yeah, that's right next to the stenographer. Literally.

[Tommy Mo]

Guys, do you remember there was a guy on America's Got Talent named Johnny Rocket Fingers who was like a professional snapper?

[Shane Topp]

Like a quick snapper.

[Tommy Mo]

He was a quick snapper. And he actually was pretty. Pretty talented.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You guys, this is. This is derailed for one second, but do you guys ever watch shows and only watch the background actors? A hundred movies and only watch the extras?

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, if I'm re. Watching a movie, do it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah, it's the funniest.

[Tommy Mo]

Well, like, Spider Man. I think it's Spider man or Spider Man 2 with Tobey Maguire. Has a woman in the background that you see at one point in a big, like, crowd scene where, like, Spider man shows up to fight the Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus. You see a woman in the background doing, like, shaking her head back and forth very dramatically. She goes like this. She goes, that Spider Man.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Stop.

[Tommy Mo]

You can clearly see her. You can very clearly see her.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Dude, I love watching background actors. Cause they go, oh, what?

[Shane Topp]

They're selling it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

They're selling it. So sorry, I just had to derail.

[Shane Topp]

A friend of mine did background acting or was recently in a background. I think it was like a. More. It wasn't like a big, big film. It was just like a smaller film or whatever. And they kept cutting and giving notes, and he was the only one getting notes. They were like, ted, you're doing it too big. Like, scale it back.

[Manalee Hankanto]

No, I love that.

[Shane Topp]

I love that.

[Tommy Mo]

He's great.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Ted.

[Shane Topp]

I love it. I love it. All right, what you got?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay, read us some more. Like you said, you're going into garbage territory. I've Been there. All right. So I'm gonna just continue in garbage territory.

[Shane Topp]

Great.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Store clerk who is too involved. Store clerk who takes it personally. The person who is hurt that you won't buy anything from your store guy at eyeglass Place. Hi. Welcome. So glad to have you here. I love your hair. We have a lot of spots already, so. Hi. So highly suggest booking an appointment with me now. What's your name? Your name. Just to check your insurance covers you. Okay. Yeah, sure. Take your time. I'll be right here just watching. Okay, that's one. Oh, and then I wrote bye. And then I wrote in parentheses, tears. Telenovela stars. That's it.

[Tommy Mo]

There you go. No, I totally get it.

[Shane Topp]

That's an answer.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Televa. Stars.

[Shane Topp]

That's ancy. Grace.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You guys are fun. That's just one.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, thanks.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's probably someone going like, you guys are fun. Yeah, you guys are fun.

[Tommy Mo]

Were you not there? Ian said that to.

[Manalee Hankanto]

What?

[Tommy Mo]

Ian said that in a Bepperty.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I saw the clip.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Shane Topp]

You guys are a good group.

[Tommy Mo]

You guys are a fun group.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's basically this character where someone's just like, you guys are fun.

[Tommy Mo]

You guys are fun.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You guys are fun.

[Tommy Mo]

And he's in a cage with a bunch of gorillas.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You guys are fun.

[Tommy Mo]

You guys are fun.

[Manalee Hankanto]

This is a really old one. And it says Wet Cop.

[Shane Topp]

Whoa.

[Manalee Hankanto]

This one is from. This one is from October 2022 or something like that, which maybe it.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh. So right. Right before you started doing Wet Cop.

[Shane Topp]

That must have been, like, right before.

[Tommy Mo]

Wow, that's crazy.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. Wet Cop and then Irish ups, man. Which is definitely a TNTL that I wrote and did.

[Tommy Mo]

Nice.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah, I had that last night. I was like, oh, I've done.

[Tommy Mo]

Yep.

[Shane Topp]

I was like, these are all of my tntl.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. I'm getting to the point where some of these. Oh, this one's the last one. I'll just do one more. I almost died last night. Did you see me Trip, question mark?

[Tommy Mo]

What?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Guys, I don't know what. And then I just have my dad's name on here.

[Shane Topp]

What's. No. What? I love this because I don't write down ideas until they're ideas. You know what I mean? Like, you. You have these, like, a bunch of starters. These are some real ideas in there too. Of course. And then you have, like, you know, anything. I just like, I should be doing this.

[Tommy Mo]

It's great.

[Shane Topp]

You're leading the charge.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And they're. They're mainly based on. They're like, from the start of a character, like, rooted in it's.

[Tommy Mo]

Really cool.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. Oh, these are not. I write them, and I don't reread them until I need inspiration.

[Tommy Mo]

That's smart.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's the best way to do it. So you don't judge it and erase it.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, that's.

[Shane Topp]

Wow.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Just write starters.

[Shane Topp]

I'm learning from you. Write starters, Guys, I'm learning from you today.

[Tommy Mo]

Pretty cool. Thank you, painter Barbie.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You're so welcome. I left Ken and I started. I became a human, and I decided I'm gonna paint houses. Pretty cool.

[Shane Topp]

Pretty cool.

[Tommy Mo]

I have rip. I have an let's do this pitch, which I did pitch, and they liked it and they wanted to do it, but we didn't get to it, which is how to hide a dead body. And I kind of love that. Yeah. And I still think it's a challenge that we can.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I love it, too.

[Tommy Mo]

Like, if we have a dummy and we just see who can hide the dummy in, like, two minutes and who can find it. Wait.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's actually brilliant and dark. I like it.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. I wrote. Yeah, Yeah, I know.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

Anyways. Anyways, I wrote fresh banana hanging out with a ripe banana and being influenced by them.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Whoa.

[Shane Topp]

You're really cool.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. I've been around for a minute, and.

[Manalee Hankanto]

The ripe is all, like, brown and got like.

[Shane Topp]

See all these spots?

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. You're gonna be like me if you hang out with me. Yeah. I learned that from Hank Green, that ripe bananas release a enzyme or something that ripens bananas. So that's why if you have fresh bananas next to ripe bananas, those fresh bananas will start to become ripe really fast.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, my God. I've been sucking doing it wrong my whole life.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. You want to. You want to, like, just try to eat your ripe bananas or turn them into banana bread.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And does it do it to other fruit?

[Tommy Mo]

No, I think just bananas.

[Shane Topp]

Bananas influencing bananas. So you're saying I can put a brownish banana next to a freshest banana, and that'll make the fresh banana better to eat sooner?

[Tommy Mo]

Yes.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Right?

[Tommy Mo]

Yes.

[Shane Topp]

Okay.

[Tommy Mo]

Yes. That is. That is also true, I think. I'm not a scientist, but Hank Green told me that. Okay, this is a sketch that I only have the, like, premise of, but I actually love this sketch, and I've thought about it more over the. The months. Dart, destination date. And she throws it on your best friend's house, so she's going to go stay with him for a week. So I. I know some people when.

[Shane Topp]

You throw a dart at a map and you're like, we're going there.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah. I had Some friends who were like, oh. And so he was like, his. His. His birthday gift to her, anniversary gift to her was like, hey, take this dart. Here's a map of the world. Throw it. And then we're gonna spend a vacation there. And she perfectly threw it at, like, it landed in Italy. It's like, okay. But she's like. And maybe. Maybe it's a. Maybe it's a thought. Maybe it's a thought story. Maybe it's like, put. Put it on the. But I like the idea of, like, okay, take this dart and throw it. And it's like, okay. Throws it perfectly. It's like, wow, that landed Los Angeles. Okay, let's. Let's get in closer. It's like, oh, my God. Oh, wait, that's. That's two blocks away. That's. Oh, that's. Oh, my God. That's. That's Greg's house. That's crazy. And then it's like being like, well, I guess we're gonna go. It's like, oh. And he's like, oh, I only have one bed. Like, I don't have enough room for both of you.

[Manalee Hankanto]

90S Rom com.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Does it not feel like a 90s Rom com? And it's like when they land in LA, she's like, huh? And he's like, I only have one bed. And the boyfriend's like, I guess I'll go home. I guess I'll go home and leave you guys to.

[Tommy Mo]

That's kind of the end of that run of that one. Tommy.

[Shane Topp]

Tommy, find your wife. PI.

[Tommy Mo]

What?

[Shane Topp]

I think the idea.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay, that's a starter.

[Shane Topp]

That is a starter.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's a good starter.

[Shane Topp]

I think the idea there was, like, my dad would always be like, where's Pam in the house? Just like, where's Pam? And hiring a private investigator to find your wife inside your own home. Do you like the idea?

[Manalee Hankanto]

My mom's name is Pam.

[Shane Topp]

Pam.

[Manalee Hankanto]

So my dad's girlfriend's name is Pam.

[Tommy Mo]

Wait.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And he always goes like, where's Pam?

[Shane Topp]

Can. Can Pam. Does Pam have trouble lifting her arms above her head?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, that might be my mom. She should have done yoga really quick.

[Tommy Mo]

Tommy.

[Shane Topp]

Yes?

[Tommy Mo]

I came across another. Another note called Characters, and the first one is loud mime.

[Shane Topp]

I've written.

[Tommy Mo]

I've written it several times.

[Manalee Hankanto]

You are out of control.

[Tommy Mo]

Loud mime. And then we leave when you wrote sketch dumb sketches with Angela. I wrote the mime family where they're loud. Says, I finally got it out. I think I just finally got it.

[Shane Topp]

Done with you Purged it from your brain.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's freaking hilarious. Loud Mime.

[Shane Topp]

Loud Mime.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, I have one titled. Try not to laugh. We can. We'll get back to that.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I have one, too.

[Tommy Mo]

Tom, Tommy, do you have any?

[Shane Topp]

I'm. I'm just hunting now. I. I really. I just have character ideas. Like, character starters. I. I really, really want to do a, like, teenage girl stage manager for a theater show.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, you know, I love being like.

[Shane Topp]

This weekend, I reviewed all of the cues. Guys, we're gonna need you to do, you know, Like, I don't have it, like, written out yet, but I just, like, that's such a person, you know?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Didn't I kind of play a character like that in one of a Smosh video that I punched myself in the face, what with Ian, where I'm like, everyone shut the fuck up. Directory is like, thanks, Molly. Like, thank you.

[Tommy Mo]

I think I remember that.

[Manalee Hankanto]

It was like, an old one.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, like a sketch. Sketch.

[Manalee Hankanto]

A sketch here at Smosh.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, like a main sketch.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah, like a main sketch. I think it was, like, three and a half years ago. That's crazy, because I was like, this is a character that I love to play.

[Tommy Mo]

Holy crap.

[Shane Topp]

It's such a. It's such a fun character.

[Manalee Hankanto]

On a wig. Or. You want me to do it? Let's do it together.

[Shane Topp]

Let's do it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I'll take right. I'll take left stage. You take right. Ears. That's so funny.

[Shane Topp]

What else you got, Amanda?

[Manalee Hankanto]

Okay, horrible ones. Actually, this one's kind of fun. Young, shitty motel clerk girl. No blood, no semen, no ranch. That's our biggest rules. Ranch is really hard to get out of the carpet. Like, what? That one's pretty fun. I should have done that. That's fun, actually.

[Shane Topp]

That is fun. Put that. Throw that to the top.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I'll throw that one to the top. Or I'll star it a million times. That really gets me in the stars. Yep. What's up? You look depressed. There's food in the fridge, air in your lungs, and it's a gorgeous day out. That's actually like, a direct quote from my mother.

[Shane Topp]

I was about to say, who said.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That buddy looked depressed? There's food in the fridge, air in your lungs, and it's a gorgeous day out.

[Tommy Mo]

Get out of that. That is what a boomer says to someone who looks like that.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, Lyft driver. Do you believe in ghosts? I was on the toilet once in a hospital, and the light kept turning on and off. Ghost. This is like, a real quote from a real person. Most of these are real quotes.

[Shane Topp]

I love this.

[Tommy Mo]

Holy shit.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah, my. Also, do you guys do videos and attach it to your notes?

[Shane Topp]

Never.

[Tommy Mo]

What? No, you recorded.

[Shane Topp]

So this is like, an idea, like you've written down.

[Tommy Mo]

What the hell?

[Shane Topp]

Are you vulnerable enough to play one of them for us?

[Manalee Hankanto]

She carries a satchel of dirt in her hand, just as you hear some dirt from New Mexico. And breathe. I just felt like you needed to get grounded, because I see a lot.

[Tommy Mo]

Of trauma and a lot of fear.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And a lot of pain behind her. Guys. I did her.

[Shane Topp]

I was about to say.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I remember her. Did her on stage.

[Tommy Mo]

You're just talking to yourself.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah, I get a lot of them in the car.

[Shane Topp]

That's your spot.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And when I do, I film myself and talk like the character, and I add it attached to my notes.

[Tommy Mo]

You're still going, oh, this is a minute 30.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Sometimes I have five minutes.

[Tommy Mo]

Holy.

[Manalee Hankanto]

So when I get it, I have to do the voice and the character or else I lose it.

[Shane Topp]

It's like, you got to get it out.

[Tommy Mo]

You should upload those onto Instagram if ever there. If they're. Find a pose.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Yeah. A lot of these I can't show because I'm naked in a lot of stuff. I'll get out of the shower with my hair soaking wet, and I'll be like, all right, we gotta shed the trip.

[Tommy Mo]

I like the idea that your husband's like, why don't you send me a nice photo? You send that. You're like, hey, listen, I've been through it.

[Manalee Hankanto]

He's like, you better wipe your ass.

[Tommy Mo]

He's like, oh, this was not what I was.

[Manalee Hankanto]

He's on his computer playing video games, and I'm like, you better watch your ass.

[Shane Topp]

That's a healthy relationship right there, guys.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Literally. Yeah, it's full on.

[Shane Topp]

Oh, my God.

[Tommy Mo]

Oh, my God. I have one here that. So this is an. This is a note titled Try not to laugh. And I always have one like this.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's smart.

[Tommy Mo]

And a lot of my try not to laugh jokes come from this. Like, for instance, you're my favorite pizza. The place was.

[Shane Topp]

It was a nose.

[Tommy Mo]

A note.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wow.

[Tommy Mo]

That I had written out. So cool. Here's one that I haven't done yet, but I think I want to do it soon.

[Shane Topp]

Review.

[Tommy Mo]

I probably would have one of you guys help me and be the, like, announcer. So it's a commercial. So I would walk out onto the set, and I'd be kind of sniffling, and I'd just be kind of like, oh, man. And then. And you'd be like, seasonal allergies got you down. You're like. I'm like, yeah.

[Shane Topp]

And.

[Tommy Mo]

And it's like, flobutrin can be used to treat seasonal allergies. And all of a sudden, I have it, and I'm like, oh. It's like, it'll brighten up. It'll clear out everything. And I'm like, yeah. And it's like. But it can cause one side effect. And all of a sudden, I just want to slowly just be like, oh, no.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Oh, my God.

[Tommy Mo]

And I would just start charging around the set and, like, have maybe someone walk out, and I'd, like, grab them and I beat them to the ground. I'm just, like, freaking out. Just like.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's a pretty good.

[Tommy Mo]

After I stop for a second, I kind of, like, stop, and I go silent, but I'm still full champ. And then the announcer goes bloating.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I don't get it.

[Shane Topp]

That's not the side effect.

[Tommy Mo]

The side effect. It's like, there's one side effect.

[Shane Topp]

There's one side effect.

[Tommy Mo]

I act like a chimp, and it's, like, bloating, dude.

[Manalee Hankanto]

Wow.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Manalee Hankanto]

That's freaking intense.

[Tommy Mo]

I love that I could do that to Damien. I wrote down cool nan, Conan the Barbarian, but with metal hair and sunglasses. And then I wrote, we now return to Dumpster wizard on the cw. Dressed sexy with a white emo wig. Hello. Weary travelers looking to enter the forest. Huh? Best be careful. Seen many travelers enter, none returned. He gives them a thoughtful look, and then a smirk. Plays harmonica.

[Shane Topp]

Hell, yeah.

[Tommy Mo]

What?

[Manalee Hankanto]

I love that.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, I'll probably spice that one up a little bit. Probably need to make that one work.

[Shane Topp]

In the room, but I need to make that one.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I'm passed it to Alex and Spencer, and they're gonna call me in a week.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah.

[Shane Topp]

Tommy, this is a good little end. Cause it's just like. It's like how I started, like, with the. With the I'm about to bust a duck. It's just like. This is a Tweet, basically a YouTube video titled My Mental Breakdown. But every time I saw it, it gets faster. You know those. You know those YouTube.

[Tommy Mo]

That's the most online thing.

[Shane Topp]

Yeah, I know what there's, like, YouTube videos where it's like, you know, the smosh cast, but every time Amanda laughs, it gets faster. Like, that's like a type of YouTube.

[Tommy Mo]

Video a famous one is. A famous one that's online is the entirety of the B movie. But it speeds up anytime someone says B. And so by the end it's just lightning fast.

[Shane Topp]

Okay.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I've missed this whole.

[Shane Topp]

It's an older again. This is like, an old note. So anyway, that's a good little bookend. It's a little bookend to my whole thing.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I guess maybe I'll have one bookend. Okay. I have another. I almost died last night. What is wrong with me? This I absolutely did on tntl. This is my TNTL one, which I stopped using because all of these are old. I now just go in and fucking wing it. My husband keeps digging a hole in the backyard, and I have no idea why. Question mark. I definitely knew this one was.

[Tommy Mo]

That's great.

[Shane Topp]

Wow, that's so.

[Tommy Mo]

Holy crap. I have a ton more. And I guess we'll just have to do this again sometime.

[Manalee Hankanto]

I think we'll have to do this again because I have novels.

[Tommy Mo]

Yeah, I'd say holy crap.

[Manalee Hankanto]

And videos.
