Smosh Mouth Ep. #123 – "Home Alone"

Date: December 15, 2025
Hosts: Amanda Lehan-Canto, Tommy, Arasha

Overview

This episode of Smosh Mouth is dubbed "Home Alone." With regular host Shayne Topp missing ("daddy's not home"), Amanda, Tommy, and Arasha settle into a cozy, loose episode, embracing "holiday break" vibes. Without the show's grounding force, the trio let their conversations meander—sharing stories about family, unfiltered East Coast energy, eccentric characters, phone spam, cat vs. dog debates, baby names, and peaks into their chaotic Notes app entries. The result is a playful, slightly chaotic hangout among friends, with creative sparks flying and plenty of unexpected tangents.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

Holidays and Being "Home Alone"

• The hosts reference the Home Alone movies and joke about which characters they’d be—Amanda vying for not being Buzz, Tommy being assigned the role, and jokes about the tarantula, “Buzz’s porn,” and dysfunctional siblings.
• They set the stage: "We're home alone, our parents are in Paris, and we're surviving however we can." (17:26)

Parent Stories & East Coast Vibes

• Amanda and Tommy reminisce about recent content with their parents on Bit City and Smosh pranking episodes.
• Amanda shares a wild story about a Verizon store worker critiquing “new Smosh” to her face (05:01-09:26):

  "The first thing the guy says without looking at me goes, ‘ugh, the new Smosh sucks.’" (04:24)

• The hosts reflect on the blunt honesty of East Coast personalities:

  "Everyone always says East Coast people are mean, but actually, they’re just straightforward." —Amanda (10:43)

Spam Call Mayhem

• Tommy describes being bombarded with spam calls after ordering an item from Hong Kong, vowing to answer one on-air (02:00-02:24, 51:01-51:36).
• Actual spam call is answered live:

  "He said diabetes first, by the way." —Tommy (51:10)

Notes App Confessions

• The main segment has everyone reading weird, vulnerable, or silly entries from their Notes apps—random thoughts, one-word ideas, character sketches, groceries, game night grievances, and personal reminders.
• Amanda:

  "When I am alone, I get these random thoughts and I put them in my notes app, and they might not be good, and they might be bad." (18:41)

• Tommy: one-word notes ("Paper towels. Toilet paper. Unlimited ice cream. Egg.") and grocery lists masquerading as musings (25:25, 61:19).
• Arasha: baby names galore ("I have baby names. Is that crazy?" 30:17), a wish list with just "iPad," and cryptic lines like "Tequila is a man and daddy, I love him." (73:25)

Character Creation Frenzy

• Tommy gifts Amanda and Arasha original character sketches:
  • Amanda: "Garbage Ma’am" – a tough waste management queen (25:46)

    • “Elder waste management manager. She’s extremely tough. Her voice is like rocks in a funnel. She pronounces garbage, like, garbage." —Tommy (25:54)

  • Arasha: "Dee" – a bob-cut hairdresser who only gives that haircut and alienates her kids (27:41)

    • “She only cuts hair that way. She’s a forever victim and turns every story into her problem.” —Tommy (28:03)

  • Further ideas: overexcited dancing girl (40:40), male nanny Louis O’ Donnell who just really (not creepily) “loves babies” (46:41), Ms. Friedman the moneyed cougar, “Papa” the advice-doling husband, "Donna" the bowling-pin-shaped constant-headache neighbor (76:31).

Wild Party Game Night Characters

• Inspired by real life: Arasha describes the “super mean girl at game night” as a potential character (20:37). Amanda and Tommy riff about people who are no fun to play with and take board games uncomfortably seriously.
• Tommy and Arasha recall joking about having "beef" for online speculation's sake (24:27).

Cat vs. Dog, Notes Chaos & Grocery Lists

• The group bonds over animal preferences; Tommy shares his flip-flopping love between cats and dogs, ultimately siding with felines after cat-sitting (37:01-37:14).
• Amanda muses about tiny spoons (59:13).
• The importance (or absurdity) of notes as random as “chipotle mayo,” “yelling,” and “hear me out.” (74:44-75:02)

Odd Art, Thrift Store Finds & Home Decor

• Tommy brings up his penchant for collecting odd paintings and sculptures, describing a haunting ballerina painting he couldn’t resist (68:13-71:37).
• The hosts react with a mix of horror and admiration, poking fun at kitchen “art decor.”

Miscellaneous Bits & Banter

• From wild baby names ("Rom Com," "Chahat," "Rohan") to water bottles marked for "sex hydration" (44:18-44:41), the episode is peppered with the trio’s unique humor.
• Amanda reflects on the warmth and unconventional fun of the episode, likening the experience to inviting "weird friends" over for holiday cake and offbeat conversation (75:42).
• The group urges listeners to share their own wild Notes app entries.

Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments

• Amanda, recounting the Verizon store clerk:

  “He literally has not turned his eyes to me whatsoever. Maybe 'cause I'm covered in grease. I don't know.” (06:43)

• Tommy, on East Coast energy:

  "Imagine seeing someone wearing a hat about something they like and going, 'what you like is bad.' That’s crazy." (05:18)

• On character creation:

  "I would love a blowout, and you leave with a little bob." —Tommy, as Dee the hairdresser (28:26)

• Arasha, reading her wild note:

  “Tequila is a man and daddy, I love him.” (73:25)

• Tommy, defending cats:

  “Now that I've watched these cats for a little bit... I'm back to being a cat person. I got chosen. I like being chosen.” (36:03)

• Live telemarketer moment:

  Tommy answers a spam call during the show (51:01-51:36)—hilariously disrupted by a diabetes Medicare pitch.

• Amanda, reflecting on the energy:

  “I didn't actually feel like we were three kids at home alone. I felt like Shane and I share a condo...what am I gonna do in my condo all by myself for Christmas? I'm gonna invite these two people over that I met in line at this fun antique rodeo shop.” (75:02)

• Arasha’s closing note, existential as ever:

  “November 4, 2022 at 9:45pm Oof. What am I doing this for?” (77:27)

Final Thoughts

This episode encapsulates the chaotic, creative, and deeply funny friendship at Smosh. With Shane missing as the anchor, Amanda, Tommy, and Arasha embrace randomness and let their quirks shine—from familial chaos, eccentric character bits, and oddly specific peeves, to the universal absurdity found in the disarray of our phone notes apps. The “Home Alone” theme is more a state of mind than a movie reference, giving listeners a sense of being invited into an unfiltered, meandering night in with the Smosh crew. And if you listen closely, you just might find your next sketch idea somewhere between “Garbage Ma’am,” “Dee and the little bob,” and a spam call asking about diabetes.

Listener prompt: Share your wildest Notes app entries in the comments—“what grocery store items do you have?” (77:40)
