[Courtney]

Oh, yeah, probably not PC 13. PC 13. You guys have any Christmas movies that you love? You watch that you like? That you watch?

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Courtney]

Whoa. That's. Damn.

[Spencer]

I am not charmed.

[Amanda]

Are you. You're not charmed by it.

[Courtney]

I think that I would go so far as to say that's the last true classic Christmas.

[Spencer]

Like, new classic.

[Amanda]

Agreed.

[Courtney]

What's a classic? Like, people might argue the Polar Express. Fuck that movie.

[Amanda]

Absolutely not.

[Spencer]

The CGI people love that movie.

[Courtney]

And I don't get it.

[Spencer]

You didn't start watching Netflix's Frankenstein like, a little bit, be like this. This beginning. It look. It looks a little like Polar Express.

[Courtney]

I'm not. I didn't have. I didn't have, like, expectations for Frankenstein like I have for Spencer did.

[Amanda]

I think Spencer's really upset about Frankenstein because your gentleman.

[Courtney]

Your gentleman is largely based on Frankenstein.

[Spencer]

That's the line. The book. Yeah, the book from thank Mary Shelley.

[Courtney]

For your fucked up guy.

[Amanda]

Yeah, your. Your gentleman is probably the most fucked up one. That's fair.

[Spencer]

We're. I did see the people. It was like, oh, if. If like Spencer's gentleman and Amanda's Karen, like, met, it's like, what would happen? And people were like, well, they would get married.

[Amanda]

Oh, of course we would get married.

[Spencer]

They would either get married or Karen.

[Amanda]

And I would be the. The one wife that. That doesn't die. I stay alive forever.

[Spencer]

I don't think that Karen can die.

[Amanda]

No, she's. She's immortal. She. She actually. That Karen went to, like, a weird, like, witch doctor and sold her soul a long time ago. And now she lives off of, like, soda. And that's what keeps her.

[Spencer]

It's just immortal.

[Amanda]

Soda. Diet Pepsi.

[Spencer]

Do you like diet drinks?

[Courtney]

No, no, I don't drink much soda.

[Amanda]

I actually don't drink much soda either.

[Courtney]

I don't drink much soda. So when I drink a soda, I want. I want the whole ass soda.

[Spencer]

A lot of People have recently, like, around the office, been like, there's no caffeine in ginger ale, Sprite, or, like, Fanta. I'm like, y' all didn't know that.

[Amanda]

Ginger ale is my favorite soda. If I. If I were to drink a soda, which is rare, I'll drink a ginger ale.

[Spencer]

I drink it on planes, but it never hits the. Like, they never give me enough ice.

[Amanda]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[Spencer]

Do you all ever have, like, tomato juice on flights?

[Amanda]

Absolutely not. I'm not 100.

[Courtney]

Why would you do a. I mean, I like tomato juice, but I'm not going to order it on a.

[Spencer]

Whenever they. Whenever they rattle off the drinks and tomatoes in there, I'm always like, I'll take tomato juice.

[Courtney]

You get it?

[Spencer]

Yeah, I get tomato juice.

[Courtney]

You drink some tomato juice. How do you feel about it?

[Spencer]

Fine.

[Amanda]

Okay. Did I tell you that when I was flying with H, he asked for cookies and milk?

[Courtney]

That's kind of.

[Amanda]

And I wanted to die.

[Courtney]

No, that's epic as well.

[Spencer]

He's like, can you whoop my tummy? No.

[Amanda]

He literally goes, I'll have cookies and milk on stuff. And the guy was like, pardon? What the fuck did you just say? Sandy, this son of a bitch wants cookies and milk.

[Courtney]

He just holds the cookies over the milk, and the turbulence makes it just dunk on its own.

[Amanda]

This is him.

[Spencer]

Ow.

[Amanda]

Sandy, this son of a bitch wants cookies and milk.

[Spencer]

Did they. What did they say?

[Amanda]

The guy was like, I'll see if we have any in the back.

[Courtney]

You absolutely can do that. They have. They usually have some forms.

[Amanda]

He just looked at me, and I was like, I'd rather be dead. I'd rather be dead than sit next to you ordering that kind of shit.

[Spencer]

Was this before or after the baby?

[Amanda]

This is before the baby. This is. This has nothing to do with the baby. The man just is a Dairy Queen. He loves drinking milk. I've called him Dairy Queen forever.

[Courtney]

That's. That's an awesome nickname.

[Amanda]

He loves milk.

[Spencer]

Do you cue something different?

[Courtney]

What. What? Whole milk. 2%.

[Spencer]

I was gonna say, that's a whole milk, man.

[Courtney]

That is a whole day for sure.

[Amanda]

He would not touch 2%.

[Courtney]

Whole milk is crazy.

[Amanda]

Whole milk.

[Courtney]

I grew up in a skim milk household, and when I finally had whole milk as an adult, I was.

[Amanda]

Is this cream?

[Spencer]

It tastes like curdle. It's like. It's like.

[Courtney]

It's shocking.

[Spencer]

Churn it.

[Courtney]

Because skim milk is water. Water it truly. You can chew it blindfold. If I was blindfolded and I took a glass of water and then a glass of skim milk. It would take me a second to spot the difference.

[Amanda]

My God, Rudd. No.

[Courtney]

Skim milk is borderline water, and I would chug it. Skim milk?

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Courtney]

Why? Okay, Dairy Queen.

[Amanda]

I chugged skim milk.

[Spencer]

You have the little milk mustache. You run around.

[Amanda]

No, no, no. There's one thing about me.

[Courtney]

You don't really get a milk mustache from skim milk.

[Amanda]

I do not like that people have food on their face.

[Spencer]

I think a milk mustache is funny. Yeah.

[Courtney]

You don't like the Got Milk Posters? Michael Jordan.

[Amanda]

Yeah, those are fun. Okay, so we should bring those back, actually.

[Courtney]

We should bring back Got Milk.

[Amanda]

This Santa suit's a little crusted down here, and I'm not sure why. Mm.

[Courtney]

I don't know who was wearing it last.

[Amanda]

Do we wash any of these outfits?

[Spencer]

We usually.

[Courtney]

We. We throw most of our stuff in a wash, but probably not that one. It's also been just hung up for a year.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Feels really good to put on my body.

[Spencer]

I wonder if you've worn that exact one before.

[Amanda]

I definitely have. I was Santa, for culinary crimes. And I don't know if they enjoyed it.

[Courtney]

And that was last year, right? Or was that this year? That was last year.

[Amanda]

That was last year.

[Courtney]

It's probably been.

[Amanda]

And I was in a weird place. I was pregnant. No one knew it. And I was like, they had running.

[Spencer]

From Resident Evil over to.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God, Resident Evil. So many things happened. Resident Evil, where the baby's cut up into, like, four different pieces, and we have to find them. I was a potato with butter right by my belly. And then I was Santa.

[Spencer]

Remember in Summer Games? What were you dressed in?

[Courtney]

A hot dog.

[Spencer]

A hot dog.

[Amanda]

And then I was a hot dog.

[Spencer]

And you were like. You were about to burst.

[Amanda]

I was about to burst. I was in between the bookshelves on a bouncy ball with three fans on me and a big box of props.

[Courtney]

They were trying to keep you secret, and we just all could see you.

[Amanda]

There was no reason to keep me secret. It was clear.

[Courtney]

Pretty funny.

[Spencer]

That was really. I. I think I. I would just. Literally, due to time, I would forget that you're back there. And then they would roll you out. I mean, not roll you out. They would.

[Amanda]

They would.

[Spencer]

They would bring her out.

[Amanda]

They would.

[Spencer]

They would be like, okay, Flying Amanda. And it's like, holy, she's still back there in that hot dog costume.

[Courtney]

And I'd be, like, hanging out.

[Amanda]

Oh, I. I.

[Spencer]

Did you have a book?

[Amanda]

No.

[Courtney]

Well, we were in a Library. So you could have grabbed a book.

[Spencer]

You could have read.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I could have read a manga.

[Courtney]

You could have read some. You could have read all of one piece in the time that you were sitting back.

[Amanda]

Oh, I definitely could have, but I. I literally was just holding on for dear life and then holding on to a couple fans because it was so hot.

[Courtney]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I couldn't hear anything. So Emily was like, come on out.

[Spencer]

She was touching the fans.

[Amanda]

Oh, God, I hate that. I put on my phone and went to this.

[Spencer]

That should be. I don't think I have a contact photo for you.

[Amanda]

Do not.

[Spencer]

Do not.

[Amanda]

Do not make me. I. I. Baby Grinch.

[Courtney]

I do not interface with my phone enough. I don't have contact photos for most people.

[Spencer]

Sometimes I'll randomly. I have. I have one for. I think I have one for you, Angela, in court. I don't think I have one for you. Oh, that super sucks, dude.

[Amanda]

That would honestly. That would crush me if you told me that you liked them better than me.

[Courtney]

Oh.

[Amanda]

You don't need to answer it. You don't need to tell me my.

[Spencer]

Definitive ranking of, like, the Smosh cast members.

[Amanda]

I think. I think I would feel a little crushed.

[Courtney]

Yeah. But the voice of Bill Nye in that inspired Tinky Winky. And then I thought, okay, if Tinky Winky was this like, celeb guy, what would he do? And he'd have a villa by himself in Italy. And he would be kind of lonely.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Courtney]

Much like Bill Nighy Winky is gonna talk like this.

Let me tell you something. Real obs are very, very, like, intense about not getting pregnant again, like, ever. Really? On you. No, no, no, no, no. Like right away.

[Courtney]

They're like.

[Amanda]

They're really.

[Courtney]

Don't ever do this again.

[Amanda]

No, they just. There's all these myths that you can't get pregnant right away because you're like, breastfeeding, whatever.

[Spencer]

Have you met the Irish?

[Amanda]

It's all a lie, literally. Irish twins. You. They do not want you to get pregnant right away and they scare you. Yeah, that's what they do all the time. Boo.

[Courtney]

Anyways, okay.

[Amanda]

Pretty awesome stuff. Yeah. So I will not be getting pregnant right away.

[Courtney]

Okay.

[Spencer]

If you could get pregnant.

[Amanda]

Have you guys seen Junior if I.

[Courtney]

With Arnold every now and then. Forget that that movie exists.

[Spencer]

I got Junior and, like, twins mixed up. There's something similar about where he's taking big comedic swings.

[Amanda]

I will say I have not seen seen twins in Junior since I was a little kid. I don't know if I should or. Jingle all the way, Chris.

[Courtney]

Jingle all the way is good.

[Spencer]

What's the Turboman?

[Courtney]

Turbo Man.

[Amanda]

[Courtney]

Turboman.

[Spencer]

I do like a Turbo Man.

[Courtney]

I do like the.

[Spencer]

The part in Junior when they're like.

[Amanda]

Oh, what are you gonna name.

[Spencer]

He's like, well, if it's a boy, Turbo Man Junior. And if it's a girl, Junior. But he says, yeah.

[Courtney]

Oh, Junior, let it go.

[Amanda]

That's pretty good. Sean Connery.

[Courtney]

That's right. No, in Latin, that's Sean Connery.

[Spencer]

Yeah, we used to quote that shit all the way. Like, Hannah, Thea, Theo. I brought the sheriff. I could probably.

[Courtney]

Jehovah.

[Spencer]

I could do a one man show of Last Crusade probably and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[Courtney]

Last Crusade is the. I rewatched them recently. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best One Raiders.

[Spencer]

To me, it goes in order. Like, I think Last Crusade is the silliest.

[Courtney]

I think Temple of Doom is the silliest.

[Spencer]

Temple of Doom is just so good from and start to beginning. There is not like a lull in that movie.

[Courtney]

I. I mean, I agree that it's action packed, it's fun throughout the whole movie. I just think there's parts that are like, it's too stupid. Whereas Last Crusade is.

[Spencer]

You betrayed Shiva, bro.

[Courtney]

Then I do the Kalima.

[Spencer]

My daddy said that.

[Courtney]

You know. Do you know this?

[Amanda]

This is.

[Courtney]

Has it been a minute since you've seen Indiana Jones?

[Amanda]

I was on an. I like, never really watched Indiana Jones.

[Spencer]

Fucking weird.

[Amanda]

Hey. Hey.

[Courtney]

What the fuck, Amanda?

[Amanda]

I have seen Indiana Jones. But, like, it wasn't like an aggressive, like, I love Indiana Jones vibe.

[Spencer]

She's only seen Crystal Skull.

[Courtney]

Yeah, and whatever. That new Dial of Dawn of Destiny.

[Spencer]

I saw the shit on my birthday.

[Courtney]

Literally ruined my birthday.

[Amanda]

I saw the new one. I saw the new one where the CGI is really bad.

[Courtney]

Oh, so you did see the new one?

[Amanda]

I did see the new one.

[Courtney]

But, like, how dare you?

[Amanda]

How dare you.

[Spencer]

Dial of Destiny, Stevie.

[Amanda]

Phoebe Waller Bridge was the writer.

[Courtney]

Oh, God.

[Amanda]

Listen, she's amazing. I don't think she was set up for success, for nobody was.

[Spencer]

Everyone in that movie is bad.

[Courtney]

I have not seen it.

[Spencer]

You haven't seen it?

[Courtney]

I haven't seen Dial of Destiny. I have no desire.

[Amanda]

Why'd you take off your hat?

[Courtney]

I have not seen Dial of Destiny.

[Amanda]

Why'd you take off your hat?

[Courtney]

Because I no longer feel in the Christmas zone. If you're just gonna sit here shitting on Indiana Jones.

[Amanda]

It's not a Christmas movie.

[Spencer]

That's fair.

[Courtney]

It's a trilogy. Any trilogy is a Christmas movie.

[Amanda]

So Matrix.

[Spencer]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they made a fourth one.

[Amanda]

Yeah, they made the fourth or more movies.

[Courtney]

It counts for me as, like, Christmas.

[Spencer]

Did you guys see the fourth Matrix movie?

[Amanda]

I did.

[Spencer]

I liked it.

[Courtney]

I thought it was. It was. It was meta.

[Spencer]

Did not like, like, it grew on me. Like, I watched the first. I was like, I have no idea how to feel about that. Then I watched like a couple days later. Like, no, I like this. I think I like this.

[Amanda]

Didn't like it. It's fair.

[Spencer]

It's fair.

[Courtney]

I didn't, like, love it. I'm not going to rewatch it.

[Amanda]

And I've seen the Matrix I think 100 times.

[Spencer]

I've probably seen the Matrix one also. Probably. That's probably my most watched movie of all time.

[Courtney]

Yeah, I'VE watched. I watched it. Not like when I first watched it, it was on VHS at my grandparents house and I put it on, I was like this is the coolest thing I've ever seen. And I watched it like a few times on that visit.

[Amanda]

And is it cool that I just rented a leather trench coat jacket for real to wear? And you know what someone told me when I said that? They said the character that you play, that Bystander. Bystander wears that. Yeah.

[Spencer]

So I bought a leather jacket recently and I almost wore it today but then I put it on and I was like, you know what? It doesn't feel like a leather jacket. It's a big swing and I wasn't feeling like. I feel like you really have to feel a leather jacket.

[Amanda]

You have to feel. Is it long?

[Spencer]

No, it's like a normal.

[Amanda]

Shane wore a leather jacket and he was feeling fine.

[Courtney]

Why did you wear it in the previous episode? The we solve your problems. I wore it.

[Spencer]

Well, good thing I didn't wear it.

[Amanda]

I know.

[Courtney]

Well, you didn't have any problems. You weren't in that episode. So it's okay.

[Spencer]

No, it's out in the lobby. I would have to think of one.

[Courtney]

Mine's out in the lobby right now.

[Spencer]

Can I wear it?

[Courtney]

Yeah. It's vintage. It's like an 80s leather jacket.

[Spencer]

I tried finding those. Like I think I need like the crop of a. Like the modern where it's like oversized but also cropped.

[Courtney]

I get that.

[Spencer]

Where it's like, you know, finding one.

[Courtney]

That fits right is really hard.

[Spencer]

Yeah, that was really like. It's. It's hard to thing with other jackets. It's really easy to make it like look like it's wearing you or you're. Yeah. The jacket's wearing you and not you're wearing the leather jacket.

[Amanda]

And I hope, I hope my leather trench doesn't come off as you're gonna wearing me. I'm fine with Trinity.

[Spencer]

Dude, you in the whole Trinity outfit, that would be sick as fuck.

[Amanda]

I. I have wanted to do all of Trinity for Halloween before. It's just like a whole journey to get all that.

[Courtney]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

I mean it's the leather, the, the hair, the. I mean the problem is she doesn't have a lot of hair.

[Courtney]

She's got that short. I mean it's basically like quartz hair.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Which I love.

[Spencer]

Kind of got switches hair a little. Oh yeah, I see that more the fact that it's blonde.

[Courtney]

Right.

[Spencer]

I. I fancy myself. Who's here? There's no one. No one no one has curly hair in the Matrix. Makes you think.

[Courtney]

No. Not allowed in the programming.

[Spencer]

What if I went bald and that was Morpheus?

[Courtney]

That'd be sick.

[Spencer]

That was white Morpheus.

[Amanda]

You have shaved your head before. And I really like it.

[Courtney]

It actually looked really good.

[Ad Voice]

Thank you.

[Amanda]

I really liked it. And then you colored it.

[Spencer]

The gift of a Christmas shave.

[Courtney]

Yeah, you had the Marshall Mathers going for a bit there, too.

[Spencer]

Yeah, so my sister used to like. She was also. My sister went through a lot. But at one point, we sent her to Christian school and she got super brainwashed. And she was like, poor sister. And she was like, eminem is evil. And my mom loved Eminem. And so whenever Eminem would come.

[Courtney]

Your mom loved Eminem but sent her to a Christian school?

[Amanda]

Spencer, your life was wild.

[Courtney]

That just feels like.

[Spencer]

I was chilling. This is my family. I was chilling. This not me.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Spencer]

Shit didn't faze me.

[Courtney]

Crazy thing to say.

[Amanda]

Your sister ate butter and then hated Eminem.

[Spencer]

She hated Eminem. And then when Eminem would come on, my sister be like, turn it off. Turn off. And then when New EDM would come on, I'd be like, oh, this is Marshall Mathers. And my mom and I would be.

[Courtney]

Like, we, like, we got her, dude.

[Spencer]

Dude.

[Amanda]

I actually watched Different Guy documentary recently. Have you guys watched it?

[Courtney]

D12.

[Spencer]

My band.

[Amanda]

I know D12.

[Spencer]

I know D12.

[Amanda]

I Know D12. That was Eminem's, one of his original bands. That's where he lost his friend.

[Courtney]

Did you know that? Isn't it crazy that in 8 mile he's roasting Anthony Mackie and apparently he, like, legit, like, roast him for real in that.

[Spencer]

I feel like Anthony Mackie is so easy to roast.

[Amanda]

Dude, do I know who Anthony Mackie like, brought?

[Courtney]

Eminem was bringing up shit from the future. He was doing Marvel roasts on him. And you look back on 2000, you're like, oh, my God. Wait, Eminem predicted all of this shit? Holy shit. Did he have a. Did he have a Hurt Locker roast in there? Crazy. I was pretty proud of that one. Like, you rewatch 8 Mile and you're like, Whoa.

[Spencer]

I've actually never seen 8 Mile.

[Amanda]

What?

[Spencer]

Brittany Murphy. Mom's spaghetti, dude, does he mention Mom's spaghetti in there?

[Courtney]

Are you literally Lose Yourself is like.

[Spencer]

The theme song is Lose yourself in that.

[Courtney]

Is that like, Are you in all the trailers?

[Amanda]

Are you what? Literally Lose Yourself is like the theme song of 8 mile.

[Spencer]

Literally lose yourself.

[Amanda]

Literally lose yourself right now. Mom's spaghetti. Eight Mile is such a good Movie. It's so good.

[Courtney]

When was last time you watched that?

[Amanda]

Years ago.

[Courtney]

Feel pretty confident about that one. But not Indiana Jones. What movies are. What movies are you gonna watch over Christmas? I keep trying to steer this back. Frankenstein to Christmas.

[Spencer]

Yeah, Frankenstein. Can I watch.

[Amanda]

It's already Christmas.

[Spencer]

Can I watch Frankenstein with you and be so, so annoying through that thing?

[Courtney]

Yeah, you'd just be actively hating.

[Spencer]

I'm like, hey, if you're enjoying this, you.

[Amanda]

Yeah, okay. Frankenstein. I want to see weapons because it's been a while.

[Courtney]

So you're gonna watch horror movies.

[Spencer]

I want to see one battle after another. You saw it, right?

[Amanda]

I want to see one battle after another.

[Courtney]

So good.

[Amanda]

I need to see the new Mission Impossible. I know.

[Spencer]

I'm so late on the new Mission Impossible.

[Courtney]

I've not watched it either.

[Spencer]

I don't think. Here's the thing. I don't think anyone did.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Courtney]

It's sad because I love that.

[Spencer]

That series.

[Amanda]

Me too.

[Courtney]

But it's the perfect time. Courtney and I, for one of the Christmases, we watched a bunch. The hell.

[Amanda]

What the was that?

[Courtney]

I pull up.

[Amanda]

It's what.

[Spencer]

That felt like it came from inside me.

[Amanda]

That felt like it came from inside the house.

[Courtney]

Oh, God. Okay. For one of the Christmases, Courtney and I watched a bunch of the Mission Impossibles. She'd never seen any of them.

[Amanda]

What?

[Courtney]

So we watched, like, a bunch. Crazy. Because the vibe of them are so different. Different.

[Amanda]

Well, direct.

[Courtney]

First one is. Is its own thing, and the two.

[Spencer]

Are, like, my favorite.

[Courtney]

They're insanely different, too.

[Amanda]

Is. What's that? What's that?

[Spencer]

John Woo.

[Amanda]

John. Once John Woo comes in, you're just like, what is this wild action?

[Spencer]

He replays every action shot like 30 times. And it's the Mission Impossible, too. When I saw that as a kid in the theater, I was like, this is the. The coolest thing I've ever seen.

[Amanda]

I mean, John Voight. John Voight in the first one. And the fact that.

[Spencer]

Have you seen the. Like, the. I mean, have you.

[Courtney]

Do you know, out of his mind.

[Spencer]

John Voight is the same age or younger than how old Tom Cruise is in the newer ones.

[Amanda]

Oh, John White looked old.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Like really old. No, but the.

[Spencer]

The train scene at the end of Mission Impossible 1. One of the coolest things. So good that that train is going so fast.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Like, the sense of speed on that is insane.

[Amanda]

I love Mission Puzzles. Simon Pegg is one of the best characters. I personally think.

[Spencer]

Benji.

[Courtney]

It's had so many different iterations of characters throughout the years.

[Spencer]

Jeremy Renner.

[Courtney]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Jeremy Renner. Oh, my God.

[Spencer]

They wanted him to be.

[Amanda]

Remember?

[Spencer]

They wanted him to be Ethan Hunt. They want him to be fucking born. Ultimatum.

[Amanda]

He did born. Yeah.

[Spencer]

But, like, they were clearly setting up for him to, like, take over the franchise, and everyone was like, ooh, that sucked. Yeah, bro. Bro has the charisma. A bad charisma. No, Riz. I do like Hurt Locker, though.

[Courtney]

It's a good one.

[Amanda]

Hurt Locker is so Catherine Bigelow.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And she used to be married to James Cameron.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

And they're not married anymore.

[Spencer]

Have you ever seen a pretty cool stuff?

[Amanda]

Do you guys like when I come up with facts like that? Is that.

[Spencer]

I love that. I was gonna bring. Have you ever seen Near Dark?

[Amanda]

No.

[Spencer]

It's a vampire movie. It's Catherine Bigelow's vampire movie. Sick. It's got Bill Paxton. It's like. It's so good.

[Courtney]

What Christmas movies are you so.

[Amanda]

Oh. Have you been asking us this?

[Spencer]

I rewatched. I rewatched Fellowship the other day. I think I'm gonna watch Two Towers in Return of the King.

[Amanda]

Literally couldn't care less. Oh, my God. Return of the King. Extended version is. Return of the King is my favorite.

[Courtney]

I just had a flashback of Damien turning to Angel.

[Spencer]

Go.

[Courtney]

What are your favorite edibles? Tell us your favorite animal.

[Amanda]

Shane, I feel like.

[Spencer]

Stop playing the. Try not to laugh. It's not fun to not laugh for me. I like.

[Amanda]

Hey, hey, Spencer, you can laugh. I'm laughing.

[Courtney]

It's an excuse to.

[Ad Voice]

Just.

[Spencer]

To be funny.

[Courtney]

To be funny.

[Amanda]

Listen, Spencer, you can laugh. Shane, what's your question?

[Courtney]

I'm just. I keep asking a question and we keep ending up being like. Oh, and Katherine Bigelow. Catherine Bigelow. Near Dark. That's her. That's her vampire movie, which has Christoph Waltz. Christoph Waltz.

[Spencer]

Guess.

[Ad Voice]

What.

[Amanda]

Is your goddamn question?

[Spencer]

Why fucking Christmas movies, dude? I told you, I'm watching Two Towers and Return of the King.

[Amanda]

Yeah, okay.

[Courtney]

Okay.

[Spencer]

That counts.

[Amanda]

And I told you I'm watching Weapons, a great Christmas movie.

[Spencer]

Did you see it?

[Amanda]

No, not yet.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Amanda]

It's pretty good.

[Courtney]

It's pretty good.

[Amanda]

I heard it's fun and campy.

[Courtney]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

So Mission Impossible.

[Spencer]

I wouldn't say it's that campy.

[Courtney]

I think it's pretty. It's kind of campy.

[Spencer]

It plays it pretty. Like, I. I don't know. Campy is not what I use to describe Weapons.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Spencer]

Okay. I'm seeing Ollie. I'm seeing some nods from Ollie. Maybe that was for something separate. Yeah, Campy. Check on Weapons, like, not like. I think there's some camp elements with, like, Gladys.

[Courtney]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

But, like, overall, like, played pretty straight.

[Courtney]

Has it spoiled it all for you?

[Amanda]

There's.

[Courtney]

Did Halloween spoil weapons for you?

[Amanda]

No, no, no.

[Courtney]

They good, because the.

[Spencer]

Here's what I'm gonna watch season.

[Amanda]

I'm gonna watch Home Alone. Oh, Home Alone is, like, one of my faves.

[Courtney]

That's probably the best.

[Amanda]

Home Alone is one of the best.

[Courtney]

That's the best Christmas.

[Amanda]

Do you want to know the worst part of Home Alone, though, that makes that. That really upsets me still is when he makes that gorgeous bowl of macaroni and cheese and he doesn't eat it.

[Courtney]

He's not. He's not able to. Literally don't remember the bandits show up.

[Amanda]

What?

[Spencer]

The wet bandits. I don't remember any macaroni and cheese. The macaroni.

[Amanda]

He has got the. He makes a perfect.

[Courtney]

After he sets up his. His house full of booby traps.

[Spencer]

Full of booby traps.

[Amanda]

I bet you love he.

[Courtney]

Then he.

[Spencer]

Then what if the booby traps started lactating.

[Amanda]

And. And. Hey.

[Spencer]

And you had to pump it to me.

[Amanda]

I had to pump him.

[Spencer]

It's like, hold. Amanda needs to pump the booby traps. Hey, pump the booby traps.

[Amanda]

Hey, you know what? I'm glad because I've been waiting for some pumping jokes, and I only gotten one, and it's Spencer. And you know what? I appreciate a brave king.

[Spencer]

Have you ever seen Kung Pow? Yeah, I was thinking about the part where he, like, slides to the cow and he's punching the cow in the udder, and, like. And then he squirt and then he dodges the milk like in the Matrix.

[Amanda]

That's not what actually happens.

[Courtney]

Pretty sure it does.

[Amanda]

My son is not punching my boobs right now. Jesus.

[Spencer]

Does he come up to, like, a hamster?

[Amanda]

No, he does not come up like a hamster. Why are boys so fucking stupid?

[Spencer]

The idea of, like, a body part producing milk is like. I don't think I'll ever get to the age where that's not, like, a little funny.

[Amanda]

I agree.

[Spencer]

Okay. Thank you.

[Amanda]

Hey, I also agree. I also can laugh. I also laugh. I also laugh. Jeremy.

[Spencer]

I'm not afraid anymore. Home Alone.

[Amanda]

I think I. Okay.

[Spencer]

The part the last time I watched Home Alone, it was the hardest I've laughed in. It was the hardest I had laughed in so long. And it's the part where they go up and they pull up and they're like, oh, like, is anyone home? And he has set up the contraption, and it's like the Michael Jordan thing, and he's doing the thing, and then it cuts him inside, and he's got, like, 30 ropes, and he's somehow, like. Something about that image was.

[Courtney]

So it's really. That movie's perfect. Yeah, that is a perfect movie.

[Spencer]

The part where Marv gets electrocuted in the second one and turns into the skeleton briefly is.

[Courtney]

Marv has some, like, truly looney Tunes levels moments. Because in the first one, when he steps on the nail, which is the worst. That shot is genuinely some of the way.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Courtney]

The way he falls off the stairs and gets air. Like, he doesn't, like, roll back. He, like, flies off the stairs.

[Spencer]

The scream with a tarantula screaming.

[Courtney]

One of the best screams of all time.

[Spencer]

Doing.

[Amanda]

I don't know. It feels kind of cozy to, like, do this. Do you know what I mean?

[Spencer]

Yeah. Have we ever done, like. Like, up.

[Amanda]

Like, up with our cozy.

[Courtney]

A cozy Smoshmouth.

[Spencer]

Yeah. It's the next live show. You just do, like, a huge, cozy, cozy, smash mouth. Chicago.

[Courtney]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

It's so funny that they put Joe Pesci, who definitely did Goodfellas and Casino before Home Alone. Right.

[Courtney]

It was around, like, the same time.

[Amanda]

So I love.

[Courtney]

When did he want to do Home Alone? Did he, like, seek out Home Alone or did they reach out to him?

[Amanda]

I bet they. I bet they reached out to him.

[Spencer]

What do you mean, seek out Home Alone?

[Amanda]

Well, like, did.

[Spencer]

It was.

[Amanda]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Courtney]

We talked about earlier. Arnold really wanted to do comedy.

[Spencer]

He wanted to take a swear.

[Courtney]

It Was it Joe.

[Spencer]

I want to attack a kid.

[Courtney]

Was it Joe fishing like, I want to attack a kid?

[Amanda]

Yeah, probably.

[Spencer]

Yeah, probably.

[Amanda]

Yeah, probably. He wanted to attack a kid.

[Courtney]

He did great in that movie.

[Spencer]

The part where he gets shot in Goodfellas. Spoiler alert. Oh, craziest fucking thing of all time.

[Amanda]

Good Fellas still makes me so overwhelmed.

[Spencer]

The craziest. Yeah, it's great. The part where he's, like, on his, like, coke binge and he thinks he's paranoid. Yeah. And he's like, some of the best editing of all time.

[Amanda]

God. Goodfellas. Have you guys ever seen the movie Mafia?

[Spencer]

No.

[Courtney]

No.

[Spencer]

Play the game.

[Amanda]

It's literally. It makes fun of. Don't do that. It makes fun of Casino and Goodfellas. It's basically like, scary movie. Who is with Zucker? It's with. Oh, my God.

[Spencer]

If it's not Lizzie Nielsen, I'm out.

[Amanda]

Love, Leslie Nielsen. Did you watch the new Naked Gun? We texted about this.

[Spencer]

I didn't love it.

[Amanda]

I didn't love it either. What was your question?

[Spencer]

Punch?

[Amanda]

Did you have a question? Oh, guys.

[Courtney]

Every five minutes, it's. It's this. It's kind of.

[Amanda]

Guys, wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on.

[Spencer]

I watched a lot of Jackie Chan movies lately. I know, but.

[Courtney]

Yeah, Drunken Master.

[Amanda]

I haven't seen Jackie Chan. Who Am I? I haven't seen Jackie Chan movies.

[Spencer]

I need to watch who Am I? Because I watched. I watched Jackie Chan's first strike last night. And then the night before is Mr. Nice Guy.

[Amanda]

It's been a long time.

[Spencer]

They're so bad. They're so good.

[Amanda]

Rush Hour is a Christmas movie.

[Spencer]

No, it's not.

[Courtney]

Sure, it can be. It's a trilogy.

[Amanda]

Guys.

[Spencer]

I thought the guy from Rush Hour was like the coolest looking guy ever.

[Amanda]

Which one?

[Spencer]

The bad guy.

[Courtney]

Jackie Chan.

[Spencer]

Jackie Chan? No.

[Amanda]

Chris Tucker?

[Spencer]

No, no, the. The Asian guy who's. Who's bald.

[Amanda]

He always looks.

[Spencer]

Short bald hair.

[Amanda]

Yes, he always looks.

[Spencer]

What's his name?

[Amanda]

He's got a.

[Spencer]

Where's.

[Amanda]

Where the.

[Spencer]

Brennan. He's got it.

[Amanda]

Like, he's got it out to me in this room.

[Spencer]

He didn't want it.

[Courtney]

He didn't want to sit down.

[Spencer]

But that guy's been, like, acted in a lot of stuff since then. He's just aged into like the most normal looking guy. But it's like if you look at him from that era, it's like, man, this guy was cool looking as. That's from the area where I thought I was Chinese.

[Amanda]

I don't want to touch that one.

[Courtney]

Drop that kind of lore.

[Amanda]

I actually don't want to touch that one.

[Spencer]

Yeah, I thought it was Chinese for like a full year of my life.

[Amanda]

Your. Your parents? I got a buttery daughter.

[Spencer]

Buttery daughter, Chinese son. Hey, butter daughter, Chinese son. No, because my. My. My uncle married a Chinese woman and I was like, well, I'm Chinese now.

[Amanda]

Oh. Oh, I get it. Well, you're a kid. You think that. That. Oh, I thought it was Chinese.

[Spencer]

I was like, this is awesome.

[Amanda]

And what did you do with that knowledge?

[Spencer]

Nothing. I would. I like. What do you. What do you. What does one do with the knowledge that they're Chinese? Millions wake up every day knowing they're Chinese and act no differently. Yeah, Almost billions, probably.

[Courtney]

Yeah, I would say that's accurate.

[Amanda]

Yeah, like I'm not gonna say anything anymore about it.

[Spencer]

Wake up. Yep, still Chinese. What's one to do.

[Amanda]

Spencer? I thought it was me who says crazy shit. Nah, nah, it's you.

[Spencer]

Y' all bring the best out of me.

[Ad Voice]

Dude.

[Spencer]

Nah, nah, it's you.

[Courtney]

Comment down below if you wake up.

[Spencer]

Hey. Comment down below if you're Chinese and.

[Amanda]

If you woke up Chinese.

[Spencer]

Statistically there's.

[Courtney]

We got.

[Spencer]

We gotta have at least.

[Courtney]

What if we find out we have.

[Spencer]

Zero, zero influence in China?

[Courtney]

Or.

[Amanda]

Or. That would be so sad.

[Courtney]

Chinese Americans. Nobody.

[Spencer]

Nobody.

[Amanda]

That would be so sad.

[Courtney]

I would be bummed.

[Amanda]

Me too.

[Spencer]

I. I thought it was Chinese. I love. Bring it back to check it.

[Amanda]

Okay, guys, I'm going to bring it back to Christmas. Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful detail, Spencer. Guys, crazy thing. I. I tapped into Santa's voicemail. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I did.

[Courtney]

Really glad we saved this for 55 minutes into the podcast.

[Spencer]

Right?

[Amanda]

I didn't want to open with it. I actually wanted to close it with it. Okay. All right, guys.

[Spencer]

Okay. This is Chinese Santa.

[Amanda]

No, there's nothing Chinese about any of this. Right?

[Spencer]

Nothing Chinese. Get unchinese now.

[Amanda]

Selena. Selena, stand up.

[Spencer]

Hey, guys. No more Chinese stuff.

[Amanda]

Selena, you. So anyways, I tapped into Santa's voicemail and we're. It's gonna be fun.

[Spencer]

We tapped into Santa's voicemail.

[Amanda]

We tapped into Santa's voicemail and here it is.

[Spencer]

We got a 500 million dollar gift and a $50 gift from Santa. Santa, we trapped 500 elves underground. Congratulations. You won.

[Amanda]

You guys ready?

[Courtney]

Who's ready for a Jet2 holiday?

[Amanda]

You guys ready? Here's Santa's voicemail.

[Spencer]

I'm in a bad spot.

[Amanda]

This is going to suck.

[Spencer]

Here we go.

[Amanda]

Here we go. Hello, you've reached Santa's voicemail. Please leave a message after the beep. And if it's not important, please don't be calling and leaving a message because Santa's really, really busy right now. Thanks. Mark the elf beep.

[Ad Voice]

Hi.

[Amanda]

Santa's voicemail. So I thought I would hear your voice, but apparently it's your fun little elf Mark who screens all my calls. It's me, Carol, Santa's friend, who he's known for years. I was just wondering, where has Santa been? It's been a long time since we actually talked. I was just wondering if he was still coming to the cabin trip that I planned in Portland, Oregon. I. I'm just waiting by the phone and yeah, apparently he's busy. Doing what? I don't know what he does all day, but just a friend wondering when Santa's gonna be around and I'd love to just know when he's gonna call me back and if we're gonna spend any time together during the holidays. Thank you. It's Carol, by the way, in case you forgot.

[Spencer]

How did you have a voice memo breakup? You had, like. Oh, you had, like, authentic voicemail breakups and a voice memo.

[Amanda]

I know. I worked pretty hard on that one. Also is Carol's name of Mrs. Claus.

[Spencer]

Oh, good. Carol was the character in Smosh vs Christmas.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Remember the character George played that when you were pregnant, you guys fell in love with him and you're like, why am I in love with this special character?

[Amanda]

I was totally in love with? George didn't exist to me. It was Carol. It was full on Carol. So that's one.

[Courtney]

She got more.

[Amanda]

And what's crazy is I actually have another one. Just like, another quick one.

[Courtney]

It's a fart.

[Amanda]

Hello, you've reached Santa's voicemail. Please leave a message after the beep. And if it's really not an important message, please don't be calling right now because Santa's actually really, really busy.

[Spencer]

She's performed that twice.

[Amanda]

Mark the elf. Hi, this is Amazon. Colin? Yeah, I think I'm outside your place.

[Courtney]

Somebody let me in.

[Amanda]

I couldn't figure out the code. Yeah, I got this bag of poop that you guys ordered.

[Courtney]

Get the out.

[Amanda]

It's a big one. It's kind of smelly. It's a big, big, old fat poop. Oh, God. Man, you never realize how funny poop is. Like, damn. My God. You know, I go to my day to day and I drop off packages.

[Spencer]

This is one of the group, guys.

[Amanda]

Goodness, poop is hilarious. You know, you just don't realize it. It just sneaks up on you. My God. Goodness gracious. Well, I'm gonna leave the poop out here. It's raining, so you guys gotta get it soon. I'm gonna put it under your doormat. All right. God, what a good day I'm having.

[Ad Voice]

This is.

[Spencer]

This is the first time I've. I felt maternal for you.

[Amanda]

What do you mean?

[Spencer]

Like, I, like. Do you get what I'm saying? Like, I'm like, I care for Amanda in a maternal way at this moment.

[Amanda]

Why? Because I'm not doing well.

[Courtney]

She's our daughter.

[Spencer]

Yeah, like, our daughter's struggling.

[Amanda]

We need to help her out doing well.

[Spencer]

I think there's just something so vulnerable.

[Courtney]

You were in your car by yourself.

[Spencer]

You had a son in the house.

[Amanda]

No, no, no. I did these in the car, guys. I did them in the car. That's why they sound so good.

[Courtney]

We left our daughter in the hot car.

[Amanda]

No, my son was not involved. I did these in the car.

[Spencer]

I Hope not.

[Amanda]

And I did the Amazon one and I, I, I started breaking at the poop thing and I wasn't gonna delete it. Cause I didn't have enough time, so I just went with it. I, yes, handed myself.

[Spencer]

I got a changing tent out there.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I just fucking. Yes, handed myself. And I just made this Amazon guy. I think it's so funny that this Amazon guy's laughing.

[Courtney]

He's bringing a bag of poop.

[Amanda]

He's laughing at himself.

[Courtney]

A sealed bag of poop.

[Amanda]

Man. I'm having a good day.

[Courtney]

That he's got. Not even in Amazon packaging. Just.

[Spencer]

Those are fun. Thanks. Who won?

[Courtney]

I meant to do. I meant to record some and I just didn't.

[Amanda]

Oh, you get to it. I have one more.

[Spencer]

Last one.

[Courtney]

Another bag of poop.

[Amanda]

No, this one's different. Or is it true? You've reached Santa's voicemail. Please leave a message.

[Courtney]

Thanks so much. Call me back.

[Courtney]

So much vitriol in that. Thanks so much.

[Spencer]

Have you ever left a voice message like that?

[Courtney]

When was the last time you left a voice memoir or voice message?

[Amanda]

I don't. And I love doing it, but I don't leave them. I don't leave voicemails if they don't pick up. I don't normally leave them.

[Courtney]

Yeah, you just call.

[Amanda]

My sister will leave me voicemails, really. And I love her so much, but I know she's. She'll leave me voicemails as if it's like a love letter. She'll be like, hi, my beautiful sister. It's cloudy. It's cloudy today and a little bit chilly. And I'm just in the kitchen and the kids are at sleepover and I poured myself a big glass of wine and I'm about to cook. And honestly, I was just saying to myself, I miss my sister. And I just wanted to know how you were. And I'm thinking of you and that sweet, sweet, beautiful boy of yours. And I'm just missing you and we all love you so much. And I had the. And it's. And it's like A three minute voicemail. And here's the thing. I kind of fucking love it.

[Amanda]

You got. You're still on password sharing with your family? I had, I. I had to say accept back. I had to say no cuz my dad would be like who shared the password with your younger sister? Because she always up the password and then my dad had to reset it and I always got in trouble for it. So I gave up.

[Spencer]

I got rid of like most of my sweaters at a certain point and maybe it's time to rebuild the collection.

[Amanda]

You seem like approachable.

[Spencer]

Thank you. Because you wear a lot of black. More black under this. I used to not never wear black because the dandruff.

[Spencer]

No, never have. It's only.

[Amanda]

No. But no, dandruff is a real thing and. And I feel like if you have it a lot you should go and get like the medicated type. It gets rid of it immediately.

[Spencer]

Yeah. For me that was like too strong and it made my hair, like, really brittle. Oh, no, it was just finding a good balance of, like.

[Courtney]

Hey.

[Spencer]

Well, it's also when you use hair product that really.

[Amanda]

Does head and shoulders work? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Spencer]

But it's. To me, it's. What I was finding is, you know, if you use any of the pomades, those, like, really will dry out your. So it's like, I can't really use hair products anymore.

[Courtney]

Oh, damn. Your hair is just naturally like that.

[Amanda]

Wait a second. But your hair looks so, like, soft and luxurious.

[Spencer]

It's a. It's a lot of not washing.

[Amanda]

Oh, I heard that's a thing. Have you ever heard of Argan oil? You think that that would help?

[Spencer]

I have used that. It made my scalp a little itchy. I think I've just got a sensitive scalp.

[Spencer]

She pulled me aside? Yeah.

[Courtney]

She was like, you gotta stop.

[Amanda]

I'm glad she did that, Because I didn't like that. I'm a mom and I'm gonna take risks. You guys are fucking ugly. I just come back and I'm just super mean.

[Courtney]

Someone is sitting in their home, their family, it's like, Christmas time. And their family's like, what are you listening to? And they're like, honestly, Honestly, no, nothing.

[Amanda]

Except for those voicemails.

I do see the poster. It's like, how should I get my friend into Smosh? It's like, I don't know, man. I don't know.

[Courtney]

I really don't know.

[Amanda]

[Spencer]

You kind of immediately get like, I.

[Courtney]

[Courtney]

What's going on?

[Amanda]

[Amanda]

Give. Give a girl confidence, man.

[Spencer]

The Grinch. Jesus Christ.

[Amanda]

Good Lord.

[Spencer]

Do you think there are people who are like, the Grinch could get it?

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah, I'm one of them.

[Spencer]

Yeah. People.

[Courtney]

People think the Grinch. People think the Grinch is that belly.

[Amanda]

My God, that belly. That belly. The Grinch can get it. I want to come up behind him and just go boo, boo, boo to his belly.

[Spencer]

And that's what makes a man. Do you?

[Amanda]

No, no, no. Just. Just the Grinch.

[Spencer]

Just a Grinch.

[Amanda]

The Grinch can get it for sure.

[Spencer]

Yeah, the Grinch.

[Courtney]

The Grinch definitely fucks. I don't know what he fucks because there's no other Grinches.

[Spencer]

Like, what?

[Amanda]

Why does he have to fuck another Grinch?

[Courtney]

You think he's fucking a hoop.

[Amanda]

You think.

[Courtney]

What's the. Once he saved Christmas. One of those who's was like, oh.

[Spencer]

Yeah, fucking Mary May. Who? What's her name?

[Courtney]

Oh, you think they're fucking.

[Spencer]

I think they're. I think they absolutely fuck at the.

[Amanda]

End of the Grinch what's Her Name? The lead. Yeah.

[Spencer]

Is what is.

[Courtney]

I don't mean to be rude, but what the fuck is the Grinch?

[Amanda]

He is a Grinch.

[Courtney]

He's a Grinch. Are there others? Other Grinch.

[Spencer]

I think it's like a golem. Like he's a bastardized who. Like he was driven by Christmas.

[Courtney]

That's probably right.

[Spencer]

Well, no. So here's what happened. He clearly at the end, if we're going by the film canon, you see all the babies flying in and then gust of wind Takes him. He was going to another, like separate, like civilization, I think.

[Amanda]

And he.

[Spencer]

He is thrust into Whoville and he is raised as a who.

[Courtney]

But he is a Grinch.

[Spencer]

But he is a Grinch. I can. I think we can safely assume there is a like race of Grinch.

[Courtney]

Yeah. Wow, what a strange world. They must like. Where the hell are they?

[Amanda]

I don't know.

[Courtney]

Hating everything.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

I did like a. I thought poo pourri was soap for after seeing the Grinch.

[Amanda]

You thought it was soap?

[Spencer]

Yeah. Well, because there's a line where he's like a nice potpourri and Max Sparks and he's like, I don't know, some kind of soap.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Spencer]

But it's like, it might.

Oh, my grandma's house was potpourri everywhere. Yeah. It was intense. It was a wall. You'd walk into my grandma's house and it was like.

[Spencer]

Do you think old people just like lose their sense of stuff, smell and they like overcompensate by like putting a bunch of in there?
