Smosh Mouth #135 – Our Fans Are WILD

Release Date: March 16, 2026
Hosts: Shayne Topp & Amanda Lehan-Canto
Guest: Trevor

Episode Overview

In this lively episode, hosts Shayne, Amanda, and guest Trevor catch up after a month-long break and dive into the “wildness” of their fan community. They discuss Smosh's move to a temporary studio, unforgettable fan gatherings (including a “Chosen” meetup and a birthday billboard in the Philippines), and the surprising intensity of fan engagement. The conversation further spirals into discussions about book genres (with a hilariously deep dive into modern and fantasy romance novels), awkward phrases for body parts in "smut" literature, reading preferences and audiobooks, pet rats, and hilarious comment reviews from their fanbase.

[A]

And I'm Amanda. And we have a very wonderful guest with us today, Trevor.

[C]

Oh, I'm wonderful.

[A]

You're one. Yeah. I said special before and now I'm

[B]

saying wonderful cuz we're in a different place.

[A]

Yeah. Look at this place. It's wonderful.

[B]

We feel like a normal podcast. I feel like it's so beautiful.

[A]

Look at all the toucans. Oh my God.

[B]

Yeah. Cans everywhere.

[A]

I actually notice that tiny picture.

[B]

We had to bring him.

[C]

Of course to bring him.

[A]

Rambe is everywhere with me.

[B]

For those who don't know, Smosh is moving its studios from Rancho Cucamonga to Oxnard.

[A]

So Oxnard is a really cool place.

[B]

I've actually never been to Oxnard.

[A]

That's crazy. I've been there so many times.

[C]

My parents. That's where my parents are from.

[B]

Really? Yeah.

[C]

Ventura and Oxnard. They went to. They went to high school there.

[A]

That's crazy.

[B]

I've heard it's gorgeous. Which it doesn't. The name doesn't sound gorgeous.

[A]

It's like Oxford in England. So that's what's helping me.

[C]

But Nard.

[B]

Nard.

[C]

Nard.

[A]

It's a beautiful place. It's crazy.

[C]

I love it.

[B]

It doesn't sound like a beach town.

[C]

Ventura. Ventura sounds so much.

[B]

Sounds more like a. Like Long beach, obviously. Yeah, Ventura. But Oxnard sounds like it's in the middle of nowhere.

[A]

Sounds like there's a lot of universities around.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Are we. We're not vibing on Oxnard. Like I have. Oxnard is different in my head than you guys.

[B]

I think so.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I don't. You're thinking of it as academic.

[A]

Well, yes.

[B]

And I just see like a bunch

[A]

of car dealerships, academic school, that people are fighting for their lives and they have to bond with A dragon. And if they don't bond with a dragon, they will die.

[B]

That's just fourth wing.

[C]

See, I see it as the place that I would go sometimes when I was a kid to visit family.

[B]

Yeah. You. You're too close to it.

[C]

Yeah, I'm too close. I can't have an opinion on Oxnard to connect.

[A]

Yeah, you shouldn't have an opinion on that.

[B]

But anyway, until I moving our studios. So in the meantime, we're.

[A]

We're here.

[B]

Here at just a temporary.

[A]

So cute.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

This chair.

[B]

It's very nice. This chair is actually.

[C]

I gotta say, I'm so comfy.

[B]

I am excited to get a new chair for Reddit stories.

[C]

Whoa.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I need.

[C]

You and chair have been having problems.

[B]

Well, that chair.

[A]

I sat in Shane's chair for two seconds during a live stream. What is wrong with that chair?

[B]

I don't.

[A]

It's, like, consistent. You want to go backwards, but that's not the point of it.

[B]

It's far more leaned back than it looks.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And it doesn't have arm rests. No, it's. It's not really. It was just the chair we had and we just threw it out there back in the day, and then we just didn't change it because we were

[A]

just like, yeah, sit there for. Shane sometimes sleeps in that chair. That's how long he does.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. We stopped down for a little bit. I'm like, let me just take a nap right here. Sometimes overnight. Yeah. You know, but I don't want you

[A]

to do that in the new space. You can't do that.

[B]

Yeah. We're getting a new chair. I don't know exactly what the new chair is going to be like. I hope it's something like this. This is one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in.

[C]

Can I just say, I just got so conscious of the fact that now people can see my lower half because normally we're sitting at the table and I'm like, it doesn't matter what I'm doing with my legs. And I just thought about it, and I just immediately started fidgeting. I'm like, does my. Do my legs look weird?

[A]

It's great. That's why I wear socks.

[B]

No. And you're wearing your shoes. Match the top. Okay. It's great.

[C]

Thank you.

[B]

I do. When we're filming, like, a couple episodes of Smoshmouth, I. It is nice that I don't have to worry about what pants I'm wearing. If it, like, works.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

As a whole outfit.

[C]

Sometimes I'll Just go Winnie the Pooh.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

No, at the table.

[A]

I have noticed that it's tough for me.

[B]

It is really tough. It's. It's hard to ignore.

[A]

He comes in and just strips.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I was wearing pants, but I take them off. Just sit on that little tiny school chair.

[A]

Yeah. New set will show your lower halves.

[B]

The new set's gonna show our lower halves. What?

[A]

You know what? Fine with that. Because I always wear nice lower halves.

[C]

I always put on my nicest lower halves.

[B]

Yeah. My lower halves. Everybody loves my lower.

[A]

That's crazy.

[C]

I gotta get new pants. I need to go.

[A]

Shane and I never change our pants for Smash Mouth. We'll just change our pants.

[B]

I try not to. I try to wear one pair of pants for a whole shoot day. It does make outfits tough. I do end up wearing just white T shirt and something over it pretty much every day. Because I'm like, what else works with four. Four different variations.

[A]

Like, there's nothing wrong with wearing a white T shirt. If I could wear a white T shirt every day, I would. But me and a white T shirt is weird. Like me and like a. I don't know. It just makes me feel like I. I went to gym class and I forgot my.

[C]

Gotta try it out sometime.

[A]

I guess I'll try it. I'll wear it with a gold chain.

[B]

It depends on what type of white T shirt too.

[C]

We should do a video and we just all, like, wear white T shirts and jeans and then pretend that it was an accident and be. How did we all do this?

[B]

This is wild.

[C]

I just spoiled it.

[B]

Now everybody knows. So we haven't actually recorded a new episode of this show in a minute because we kind of batched a bunch of episodes before we left our old studio.

[A]

It's been almost a month.

[B]

It's been like a month. And a lot has happened in a month.

[A]

Angela. Angela and Chance and Olivia played us.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

That was so fun.

[B]

That was a great episode.

[A]

Unbelievable.

[B]

Loved it. Very fun episode.

[A]

But yeah, so much happened.

[B]

Maybe our lives just in general and as well. Punch.

[A]

Oh, I hate that video.

[C]

Don't talk to me about Punch Every video.

[A]

I do not like those videos.

[B]

So Courtney had a prediction for this year, and it was that monkeys are going to do something new and reject their own. Yeah. Yeah. Be a huge loser. Yeah. His punch. Like.

[A]

Whoa, whoa. Are you saying Punch is a loser?

[B]

Just everybody hates him. Like, he's kind of crazy. I'm not punching down right now. Whoa.

[A]

Everybody hates him. That means you hate him.

[B]

No, I'm Saying the monkeys hate him in the monkey world.

[A]

So do you agree with them?

[B]

No, but I am a homo sapien. I am far, far more intelligent.

[C]

He's a homo. All right. Yeah.

[B]

No, the Punch videos, they are brutal. But then you'll see a video where it's like, oh, one of the monkeys likes him and is hugging him. And then in, like, the next video is like, that monkey doesn't like him anymore.

[C]

It is.

[B]

Fuck is going on.

[C]

That first day I learned about punch was such a roller coaster because I saw. I was like, oh, my God, this monkey is getting bullied. And I wanted to cry. Twenty minutes later, I see a video. Actually, the monkey has a friend now. And I was like, yes. And then another video comes, and it's the monkeys being mean again. I mean, what's going on?

[A]

All I can think about is, like, you know, those other monkeys, like, Punch is awesome. He's clearly awesome and ahead of his time. That's. That's how I look at that situation.

[C]

Yeah. He's a Renaissance man.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. It's really hard for me.

[B]

I. I really. That that story needs to turn out well. Like. Like, I. He needs to. Inevitably. I just. I'm like, if he never gets accepted fully into that.

[A]

Why do you think, tribe. What is the possible reason why a monkey would not be accepted? Is it their scent? Like, what is it?

[B]

I'm not. I'm not.

[A]

No, I know this.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

Just opinion.

[B]

Okay. Okay. Are our assumptions.

[C]

Yeah, I think it's like. Like, kind of power dynamics in the animal kingdom. Like, one monkey's kind of being mean to be like, yeah, I'm a big dog. Like, it's kind of like, very human, of like, I'm going to bully this kid because I want people to see that I.

[A]

Everyone's bullying him.

[B]

Everyone's.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I wonder if it's just a hierarchy thing. Like, you add one monkey to the chain, and it's just like, all right, where do you fit in here? Because there's an order to things. So if you're at it, who is above you and who's below you?

[C]

Well, it's like Planet of the Apes, you know, it's like they. They hated. They hated Caesar when. And you know, Planet of the Apes is crazy because.

[A]

Rude.

[C]

Because it's like.

[B]

Because Caesar was mean.

[A]

I didn't like Caesar either.

[C]

Caesar was mean in Planet of the Apes, wasn't he?

[A]

Am I crazy?

[C]

I don't think so. I feel like he just was kind of a monkey.

[A]

It's been a minute.

[B]

Rise up. Planet of the Apes. All of Planet of the Apes.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm forget.

[C]

But like, the whole thing is like, you know, there are all those monkeys are so mad. They want to break out because there's no space, you know, in the enclosure. It's. And it's like you'd think they'd just build a bigger.

[A]

So you think maybe the little one is just taking up a little bit too much space.

[C]

The bigger one got to fix it.

[A]

Maybe he has a. Maybe he has a different scent on him and they feel like he's not.

[B]

I wonder them. My cats are that way. But that cats are obviously so different. But like, when my one cat goes to the vet and he comes back, our other cat hates him for days. Hates him like, truly hates him. And then suddenly one day is normal. I don't. I just don't know how monkeys work. Maybe.

[A]

How do monkeys work, guys?

[C]

How do monkeys work?

[B]

How do monkeys work?

[C]

You know, actually that happens to me when I come home from a smoshu. Raven hates me for like a few hours.

[A]

I don't think it's how you smell.

[B]

Hey, what the. Is it my scent?

[A]

Oh, it's my sister scent. It's Shane.

[B]

And smell different. She doesn't recognize me. Maybe give punch a little tiny, like, Porsche gun. Give him a gun.

[A]

Could you imagine?

[B]

Take away the stuffed animal. Give him a gun.

[A]

Next video. It's just Punch with a gun.

[B]

He's just holding it up. All right, you're cool.

[A]

[A]

I liked that.

[B]

What is going on?

[A]

I don't know. I don't know, but I like it.

[B]

Okay, so that prediction, we could kind of mark that off.

[C]

Yeah, we could.

[B]

But another prediction that I think came true effectively. I said there'd be a gathering of a hundred chosens.

[A]

Oh, my God. Within a month, there was one Sarah Christ.

[B]

And one Sarah.

[A]

There was one Sarah Christ.

[B]

Yeah, so.

[A]

So talk to us about it.

[B]

Within a month, within, like, January of this year. After making that prediction, some fans here in LA started organizing a gathering of chosens that would happen at a park. And it was like, oh, this is picking up steam. Like, they're. They're really organizing this. There was posters around, like, Echo park and stuff for it. It was awesome. And we started talking about it, and then our head of social team, Erica, was like, should we. Should we, like, send you? Should you go? And I was like, sure. Like, absolutely. Like, and, you know, when I saw it was happening, I was like, yeah, like, I would be down to go. Um, and I was like, well, I need to go as the chosen. Like, the chosen goes. And my dream was to kind of just show up and just try to, like, sneak in and just be, like, part of the crowd. Like, what's up? I'm another chosen here. But they were like, okay, it's protocol here at Smosh. Like, you need to have, like, a bodyguard just in case. I was like, we're not gonna need it, but. And so we had this like, huge, like, six foot five guy, probably huge bodyguard. And we put him in a chosen shirt. The character. This is a guy who's worked for like, 40 years as a bodyguard. And he's like, so what's his deal? Like, what's the chosen deal? Does he, like. Does he, like, howl and stuff? I was like, not really, but he just is like, he just likes wolves on his shirt, but, you know, whatever. And howl. He was like, he's like, so am I part of the wolf pack now? I was like, yeah, man, sure.

[A]

He's like guarded.

[B]

Presidents before normally I guard people who need protection.

[C]

I love how he's really trying to get the backstory. He's like, okay, what's his motivation of

[B]

enemies that I need to look out for? I love that. But so we show up to this park, and everybody stayed in character, and it was awesome. I truly was just kind of blown away. I actually genuinely felt like I was, like, intruding on an event.

[A]

Right?

[B]

So I was like, oh, I didn't. Technically, that's epic. I didn't say I was coming on part of all. You know, I showed up, and so I walk up, and they're in the middle of doing a chosen competition.

[A]

What does that look like?

[B]

Just, like, different skills. Different skills to establish that you're a chosen. There's many skills. The winner gets a copy of Blade 2.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And I start hopefully on Blu Ray. They truly kind of, like, every kind of, like, parts, like, and, like, opens up, and I'm like, suddenly in the middle of the crowd, and they're all just kind of staring at me. And I was like, I did not prepare a speech. Like, I. I'm just gonna show up and say, hey, and, like, hang out as the chosen. And then I was like, I gotta say something. And I was just saying, like, truly. It was, like, so cool. I was like, this is. I was kind of blown away.

[A]

Are you saying it as Shane or in the church?

[B]

I was trying to stay in chosen, but it was hard. I was like, this is trippy because I'm not performing. I'm just here hanging out. But I am this character, and everybody else is this character. And, like, even when we were getting, like, a group photo, like, one of the chosens turned to me, and he had, like, a sai, which is one of those sick, like, Ninja turtles knives. He was like. He's like, chosen. Do you need a weapon? And I was like, no, I'm okay. Thank you. Like, I was like, this is incredible. Yeah, it was so much fun.

[A]

That is so cool. And I was just like, this is epic.

[B]

It was genuinely so sick. Like, I was like, I can't believe this. So I really, like, shout out to everybody who organized it and went, and I'm sure there's gonna be more gatherings throughout this year. I think they've heard about others happening, and it's really so cool. Like, love it. I. I love that people find joy in that character.

[A]

It's. It's so cool. I. I think it's so epic that you, like, predicted that. And then they all. You know, people have. People are busy and Doing their thing. But they all came together and I love that they all stayed in character.

[B]

Yeah. That's incredible. One of the chosens, towards the end of the gathering, stopped me as I was, like, leaving. They're just, like, chosen. They're like, just so you know, as an actual virgin Stolen Valor. And I was like, that's the funniest. I was like, dude, these people rock. That was, like, incredible. I was like, yeah, you're busy.

[A]

That's.

[C]

That's really good.

[B]

It was so awesome.

[A]

That's so cool.

[B]

It was the best. We gotta try to, like, I don't know, challenge our fans to more things because they. They do it.

[A]

I will say. I guess I can, like, speak about this, but our fans are incredible. People were sending me this, so apparently in the Philippines.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

There was a billboard of me because it was my birthday.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

In the Philippines.

[C]

Incredible.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And they. These fans are amazing. They've reached out to me. They're so sweet. They're so amazing. They had a. A full gathering to celebrate my birthday after my birthday of all different characters I play.

[B]

They had a bigger celebration for your birthday than you did.

[C]

Incredible.

[A]

Last year I went, like, really, like, minimal for my birthday. And they. And they sent me pictures and videos and I reposted and it was just so, so unbelievable. It's unbelievable to me. Like, people on slack were being like, do you see this happening? And I was like, it makes me want to go to the Philippines and be like, hey, guys. And show up as, like, Tinky. Well, maybe not Tinky Wing. That's a hard costume to, like, walk around in. But, like, Sarah Christ, like, it was just. I'm so honored because you come up with these characters and you're like, you get joy from them. And then when people get joy and then wanna dress up as them, it was just. And Selena was just in the Philippines as well, which is crazy because that's where she's from. She was visiting her family and she didn't see the. She didn't see the billboard also because there's a lot of traffic. But, like, she did get invited to one of these events and she couldn't go. But, like, I just think that's.

[B]

She got invited to your birthday party.

[C]

Incredible.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

In the Philippines.

[C]

Did you get invited to your birthday

[A]

party in the Philippines?

[B]

An epic, horrible prank is to have a birthday party for someone and not invite them. Be like, it's your birthday. We're like, oh, Trevor, it's your birthday party this weekend. You're not. You can't but we are having your birthday party.

[A]

I've never been to the Philippines, but I would love to go.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Our Pinoy brothers and sisters do not mess around. Yeah, they're incredible.

[B]

We did our episode where we were speaking, trying to read other languages, and people were talking about you with Tagalog.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Wait, I don't know this.

[C]

So my basketball team, when I was in high school, we went over to the Philippines in the summer for a few weeks to play basketball. And so I was just in the Philippines with my friends for a few weeks and we had friends and they taught me this song called basketball, Basketball. And it's funny because it was so clear that it was like a. Like an inappropriate, like, double meaning song. And they're like, we have to show you this song about basketball. Like, you're going to love it. It's about basketball, meaning. Yeah. And then they're like. The song is like, basketball, basketball. Ang sarap sarap Mug basketball. And angst up, I believe means like, tasty or something.

[B]

Tasty. Basketball.

[C]

And it's like, it's like tasty. It's like, about sex. And so the whole time they're like, they're like, you got to learn this song too. Like, you got. I was like, guys, are you going to tell us what it means? Like, it's clearly like basketball, but it is truly stuck in my head. Since 2016 or whenever I went, it was. It's been just like, in my head. But it was so much fun. I love the Philippines, y'.

[B]

All.

[C]

Didn't think a white boy could speak a little Tagalog?

[A]

Hi.

[C]

From the Philippines. Oy. Basketball, basketball. Ang sarap, sarap.

[A]

Mag.

[C]

Basketball. Anyone from the Philippines for that one? For that dirty song. That dirty song that I was pranked into singing by my Filipino friends. And they said, no, it's just about basketball, buddy. And I went, okay, let me sing it. Sing it with my whole chest. How do I know that song? Cuz I'm him.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You all didn't think a white boy had that in him, did you? I think it's. It was like some of the most fun I've ever had. Like, on a trip there.

[A]

I would love their.

[B]

Yeah, incredible.

[A]

I went to. There was a Filipino festival here in L. A. Because we have a couple Filipino friends. And I went, and it was unbelievable. It was. Where was it? Filipino town, I guess. Yeah, obviously. It was so, so amazing. Such a huge community in L. A. Massive.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Anyways, I guess we all have to go to the Philippines.

[B]

I feel like I Would love that.

[A]

Sing basketball.

[C]

Love that.

[B]

It'd be fun to go and do a show in the Philippines.

[A]

I would literally love it.

[B]

Yeah, I've literally wanted to go back. I don't have any plans.

[A]

We don't have any plans.

[B]

But I'm saying it would be. We would be. It'd be cool because it'd be cool to do that.

[C]

Be cool.

[A]

And I am a working mom. I have help. I have. Careful. My husband's incredible. I can, I can, I can get on a plane without my son.

[C]

Guys, I can go to the Philippines.

[B]

Okay, guys, Guys, I could go do it.

[C]

I have a passport.

[A]

My son.

[C]

I can go.

[A]

And won't be upset with me years later if I miss the bedtime. Even though that's what I think. I'm like, I missed a bedtime. He's going to remember the next day. He won't.

[C]

I could go for some chicken adobo right now.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

Chicken adobe.

[C]

Sorry. I just, I'm just thinking about food now.

[A]

Me too. I'm always thinking about food anyways. That's so wild.

[B]

That's really sad about playing Pocopia.

[A]

Dude, I don't know what you just said.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

It's a game.

[A]

Hey, let's talking about earlier.

[C]

Let's let the men talk for a second.

[A]

Oh, wait, I forgot. Trevor's back on the pot and I hate you. I like you, Trevor. And then you get on the pod and something snaps.

[B]

Gentlemen, shall we go to the cigar lounge and talk about Pocopia?

[A]

Tell me what this is.

[C]

Is this.

[B]

I, I. The more I try to explain it, the dumber it's gonna sound.

[A]

Well, and I love that.

[C]

It's just like, it's like a community builder. It's like a Stardew Valley type animal crossing type. You go into a world and it's all about just like you've got kind of this blank slate and then you make it your own.

[A]

And it's like, this sounds fun.

[B]

Build.

[C]

You can build homes. You can build things.

[A]

Decorate.

[C]

Water the grass, find pokey. But it's really fun because it's Pokemon. So it's like, you know, you can find Pokemon and they join your community and you. And it's cute because instead of like catching the Pokemon, you build little habitats for them. So it's like each Pokemon is like, oh, you want to build like grass under a shaded tree. And then you build that. And then a Pokemon comes and lives there.

[A]

Oh, wait. That's really cute.

[C]

Yeah, it's awesome.

[A]

Sounds like you guys are like the town mayor or town construction workers?

[C]

Pretty much.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Pretty much. You're a ditto.

[C]

Yeah, ditto.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, like when Patrick Swayze said it in Ghost, when she said, I love you and he said ditto.

[C]

Yeah, I love that. I love that pottery scene.

[B]

Speaking of video games, though. Speaking of video games, though, a new Resident Evil came out.

[A]

Oh, I know. Trust me.

[B]

And it sucks that we're in the middle of a move, because I know Spencer is dying. It's gonna happen to play it with you.

[A]

Angela ordered T shirts for us. I'm actually not kidding.

[B]

What?

[A]

Yep.

[B]

What do you mean? T shirts?

[A]

So we're. We're on a really cool group text. It's a Resident Evil group text. Me, Spencer and Angela. Sorry. Angela ordered us all Resident Evil T shirts.

[C]

What do they have on?

[B]

What does it just say Resident Evil? Does it say, like.

[A]

No, I can't remember. I could, like, literally pull up the picture.

[C]

Do you own it yet or.

[A]

I don't own it yet. She's. She ordered it.

[C]

She's ordered.

[A]

She told us to Venmo her. I'm not sure.

[B]

Did she ask?

[C]

That's the funniest thing. Ordering something for someone without telling them and being like. And can you Venmo me for that?

[B]

Can you. You need to spot me for this.

[A]

It's possible that we're not going to Venmo her.

[C]

I don't think. I don't think I would.

[A]

Okay, here it is. It's so good. It literally says girl dinner on it, bro.

[B]

And it's just Leon Kennedy look.

[C]

It's just.

[A]

Well, it's all the versions of him.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

Because, you know, we did the video on games where Spencer had a PowerPoint and explained all the lore of Resident Evil, which I was like, this is epic. I wish I knew.

[B]

Crazy.

[A]

So the iterations of him is all. It's like he becomes like a baddie, like, later.

[C]

The funniest part about that is that I guarantee you Spencer will wear that shirt more than either of you.

[B]

No 100 will.

[A]

Because girl dinner is fun, but it's like I kind of reject the term. Spencer wearing girl dinner is the greatest.

[C]

He's gonna have that thing tucked in, denim jacket over it with the boots on.

[B]

With his. With mug.

[C]

With his mug fully Kickstarter.

[A]

Can I. Can I clear the air real quick about the mug situation? So remember when we did Guess who walked?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I did impression of Spencer and everyone.

[B]

You did. And you had a lean to him.

[A]

And everyone's like, what's wrong with You. Why would you do that? You monster.

[B]

I was leaning because he's.

[A]

And I brought it up to Spencer and he agreed it's because he has

[B]

a mug and it's.

[A]

You're.

[B]

You were saying? He's leaning because it's more of a choice. He's leaning because he's kind of like,

[A]

the way he walks is. He leans into a conversation. That's why I walked with such an aggressive.

[B]

I see what you're saying.

[A]

I overdid it.

[B]

No, I think you nailed it.

[A]

But I. I did nail it. Like, in here.

[C]

Oh.

[B]

Oh. What? Hold on. What?

[A]

Keep going. Keep. Can you keep. Oh, damn it. Yes. I want to do this one justice so much. Can you do a little bit more than a couple steps? Huh? Hey, I think I have.

[C]

And it doesn't say, Sadie, am I not killing this?

[A]

God, I see it.

[B]

It's the. I'm getting some vibes.

[A]

Or also this.

[B]

Your walks were very good in that video.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Angela, you gave people a lot to think about

[C]

that video. That video was a thinker.

[A]

I'm giving.

[C]

That's what I was saying.

[A]

If I'm gonna do an impression of you, I'm going to do it honestly, from my point of view.

[B]

Just. Yeah, you go. You go.

[A]

I don't think I did. I didn't do you.

[C]

No, I don't think.

[A]

No, I didn't do you.

[C]

So I don't know. I'd love to see that.

[B]

People pointed out that a lot of your impressions of people's walks, they're, like, looking up. And that's because from your perspective, everyone is probably looking up.

[C]

Yeah, I didn't.

[B]

That's so good.

[A]

I didn't realize that. Yeah, some of them.

[B]

I think it's the case. Like, I think you did an impression of no one. And Noah. Noah's very much like that.

[A]

But you're taller than me.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And that's one. I got one.

[B]

You didn't do. No.

[A]

Trevor wasn't in that.

[B]

I wouldn't know.

[A]

Pick a Trevor.

[B]

I feel like you've got a pretty.

[A]

Like, his is bouncy bounce.

[B]

A little bouncy limber and like, it's really fun.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Look, for listeners and. And viewers, impersonate your friends walks.

[C]

That's crazy. I've never thought about how I walk. I walk way too fast. That is one thing is I have to consciously slow myself.

[A]

I walk down really fast.

[C]

It's because when I was young and I wasn't tall, my dad never slowed down. Like, my dad's tall. And so As a kid, I was like, I had to book it to keep up with him.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And then I carried that and now I have long legs and I haven't, I haven't adjusted.

[B]

So I like my family. My family's fast walkers too.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

My dad, Same moves.

[C]

I don't know what it is about, about those Gen Xers or whatever. They had places to be.

[A]

No, I. My mom too. She's like, do we want to go get a coffee? I'm like, yeah, I don't even.

[B]

I turn, she's gone. Like, there's a cloud of dust.

[A]

No, literally, like, it's like an image flashes through my eyes and she is booking it.

[C]

It's crazy.

[A]

And she doesn't stop sometimes. I'm like, mom, there is an actual do not walk sign. And she, she will not stop. It's like she's, she's programmed. I think if she stops, she's afraid it'll be done. Like it'll be over with.

[C]

It's also not just walking like my dad. I'll be home and he'll be like, hey, you want to like, leave at like 5:30 to like, go to dinner? I'm like, yeah, that's great. And then he'll like text me at 5:20. He's like, I'm in the car. Whenever you're ready.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Like, dude, what do you mean? What are you sitting in the car? And he's probably already been in there for like five minutes. Like, he's been sitting there for 15 minutes.

[A]

Oh, yeah, My dad picked me up from the airport. He's been there for two hours. Yeah, he has Dunkin Donuts, his second Dunkin Donuts coffee. And he's like, yeah, you know, I. I parked. He parks in the same spot and he explains it to me every time,

[B]

you know, I parked.

[A]

We got to take the elevator. I'm like, I know where you park, Dad. I know where you parked. I know where you'll be. You've been here. He's like, I get up at 4 in the morning. What is with older people who just wake up at four and that's it.

[C]

They wake up at four. They're always like, they're always. My dad's 15 minutes early to the movies without fail. Like, we'll go see a movie. And I'm like, dude, genuinely, the previews are starting five minutes late. Like AMC in the app has a

[B]

thing that says, your movie, the previews

[C]

back is not going to start until 25 to 30 minutes after the time it says, I'm like, what are we doing here? I gotta sit in the chair for an hour before the movie starts.

[B]

I don't like the new previews that they have, though. They have, like. They have, like, weird, like, little dumber previews before the actual previews. Yeah, I. I don't know.

[A]

Tell me why.

[B]

I don't know. They just have, like. It's. It's just AMC's own little things.

[A]

I don't know. I. I went to go see Wuthering Heights on my birthday, and we were literally four minutes late, which was a crime. Awful. I hate being late for the movies. We walked in the middle of a scene that I was like, what?

[B]

Wait, you were late for the movie itself or the previews?

[A]

I was literally. I thought the. So we got there five minutes. So they said the movie starts at, you know, one or whatever. We got 105, which was a crime.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But there were no previews. It was straight into the movie.

[B]

And you already missed a little bit. You already missed a little bit of the movie. I would. I would leave. I can't do that.

[A]

The open. If you know what the opening scene is, I walked into. Do you guys. Have you seen it?

[B]

No, that's fine.

[A]

If you have seen it. I walked into that opening scene where they're above. And you see that.

[B]

Well, now I'm not gonna see it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Now I know everything. Yeah. No, I would not be able to handle that if I don't know why

[A]

people hated that movie. I. I freaking loved it. There are. There are things that I'm like, oh, I wish, but I loved it.

[B]

I heard a lot about that movie.

[A]

I loved it. And everyone's like, it's not Wuthering Heights. I'm like, do you really want Wuthering Heights? Do you want that story?

[B]

Yeah, but it is. I haven't seen it, but I feel like it happens with every book adaption nowadays where everyone's really mad. But I'm like, what? I did. Because I would be pissed off about movies adapted from books. And then I started being like, you know what? It's a whole new thing. I just treat it as like, this is a whole new story. It's loosely based on this book I like, but if I want the book, then it's good. I'm gonna be disappointed every time.

[A]

Agreed. But it's hard. It's hard when you read a book.

[B]

It's really hard.

[A]

Really, really into it, especially if you listen to the audio. I remember listening to Girl on the Train audiobook, and then I watched the movie. And I was like, like, they're not even British. What? And Emily Blunt was the lead, and she wasn't even. She was speaking English, like, American. And I was like, well, huh. So I get the up. The upset. But there's so many iterations of Wuthering Heights. You can literally see Tom Hardy meet his wife in real life in Wuthering Heights. That's how they met, like, Ray Fines in Wuthering Heights. Like, there's so many iterations.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And they're not. It's. It's.

[C]

Ralph Fiennes and Tom Hardy have both been into Wuthering Heights.

[A]

Yes. I didn't know that. Yes.

[C]

I didn't. I didn't.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

I don't know if Wuthering Heights ball knowledge. Like that. I guess them all.

[A]

I've seen them all.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

Literally, I, I, I love the story is so. It's like a Romeo and Juliet. It's very tragic.

[B]

I think I tried to read Wuthering Heights a long time ago, and I got, like, 20 pages in. I was like, no, I read it

[C]

in high school, but I'll give it a shot again. Yeah, I read it in high school.

[A]

This is a different. This is a similar iteration. It's just basically like. Like a love that, like, you literally can't breathe without them.

[B]

But it's just this, like, I need to. I'm gonna get into some more classics soon.

[A]

Really?

[B]

I've been kind of behind on reading, but for the past couple years, I've been reading a lot of, like, what's coming out this year? Right.

[A]

What are you most excited about?

[B]

That I bought recently. Yeah. Let's see. East of Eden. I have been meaning to read that for forever. People who've read it are like, it's one of the best books of all time. I bought Beloved by Toni Morrison, which I've also heard is like, that's one of the best.

[A]

Read that book. Yeah.

[B]

And then Crime and Punishment is one of those, like, yep. Classic classics. I'm like, I gotta read this at some point in a movie. Oh, there's been movies made up about almost all of those, I think. But, yeah, just classics are. They're, you know, it's an undertaking. It's not like, as like, oh, I'm just gonna have a good time and read this. It's like, all right, there are intense themes here and, And a lot to think about. And, you know, I end up rereading pages and a lot of rereading pages. Yeah. It's a little bit More of a challenge as opposed to like a relaxing enjoyment thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So that's why I haven't.

[C]

I feel that way, Read that many

[B]

in a long time.

[C]

Been on my nonfiction grind and the reading and there's a lot of rereading pages where I'm like, I got to make sure I caught all that. There's a lot of words here.

[B]

I do audiobooks for nonfiction because with fiction, with audiobooks, I have a really hard time with like staying focused sometimes. Especially if I'm like doing something while I'm listening to it and if I miss like a minute or two, I'm like, the fuck just happened?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And it's hard to like rewind it all the time. So books are tough. I do nonfiction for audiobooks because you can miss a little bit and it's. It's okay just for me.

[A]

For me, it really depends on the reader.

[B]

I. Oh yeah.

[A]

I need the. I need like, I enjoy reading. So my voice, it's not like Amanda reading. It's like I change my voice according to the characters or whatever's going on. Sometimes the reader can be really distracting to me. But I love, I listen to this, this other one where there's three readers, three different readers. And they all have this like really intense Irish accent. And I was so into it. Really, really into that. But like, yeah, audiobooks, it's all about the reader for me. Has to have a reader that makes sense to the book for me.

[B]

I get that.

[C]

I don't mind. Do you ever do like an audiobook and then also have the physical book like a listen read along.

[B]

I've never done that, but I've done it.

[C]

I find it nice, I think when there's times where a book I've like struggled with reading a book. Whether for whatever reason, reason, like if I'm like, I'm just like struggling to keep focus while I'm reading this page, being able to hear it. And it's like I. I watch everything with subtitles.

[A]

Me too.

[C]

I watch everything with subtitles. Cuz I'm like, I just like to be able to make sure that I'm hearing and like reading along. So it's like with an audiobook, I'm like, I'm hearing it and I'm reading it and it just helps me stay focused.

[A]

Wait, I did actually do this. I did it with. Have you ever heard of Covenant of Water? It's like a very thick book. He also wrote. It's a very, It's a very medical book, which I didn't realize, but it, like, spans through all these different stories in India. And the book was amazing. But so much. So much so. I did also tag team with audio, and I. I found that that was like, the best way to get through it. But I don't often do that. I know people. I know people who read, like, fantasy books who really want to get to it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And they literally don't have enough time to move their hands. So they'll listen to audio.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And they'll listen to it on like 1.5 or 2. 2 speed.

[A]

Because get, like, what's happening?

[C]

I love fantasy, and I can't do it with fantasy because if I'm like, really locked on a book, I read too fast for an audiobook. I'm like, I. I'm flipping pages too fast.

[A]

And the voice.

[C]

Yeah, I love an audiobook and I've done fantasy books on audio, like, with an audiobook, but there's times where I feel like I'm like, if I really am, like, into, like, if it's an intense part, I'm like, I just want to go. And sometimes they're just reading too.

[A]

Or I'm sorry. But sometimes the audio is like. And then he took his hand and they're always like. It's like they're walking uphill and they're

[B]

talking and I'm like, they're performing it too much. It's like, you gotta. Gotta move.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. To me, I. I don't read fantasy. I don't have this voice in my head when I'm reading. He thrusts his. You know, I'm not like, yeah, reading in. In a. In a. In a Lord of the Rings voice. I'm reading in my voice.

[B]

Especially with the type of book you're reading. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Did I say fantasy?

[B]

To be clear, you started that. That sentence he thrust my head was

[C]

like, yeah, he thrusts a sword sentence.

[A]

No. God. When there's smut. I was saying this to Shane earlier in the morning. I don't know why, but when they're smut, there's so much you. The smut has to be earned. Those are the type of books I love because there's so much more going on. There's like, so much tension and relationship and courts and politics. So when the smut happens, you're just

[C]

like, can I ask what your, like, least favorite, like, word or synonym or phrases for a penis?

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

I love this. Is it like, like detail?

[B]

It's.

[C]

I love member. I think member so funny.

[B]

Gets used a lot. I. Sorry. He Asked you.

[A]

But also, Shane read smut.

[B]

I, well, I only read one recently I read this book called Icebreaker and.

[A]

Oh, what do they say? Because that's more of a modern book.

[B]

I, I, I don't think I'm trying to remember if she used like a specific word or it's just kind of like she just kind of would be like, he was huge. Right. Like, that was kind of. But, but the, the verb that she used a lot was disintegrating. Like, like she disintegrated. Like when she like orgasm, she like disintegrated. And I'm like, what the hell are you.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But it gets brought up a lot. I'm like, that's the word you're, you're using. Okay, that's crazy.

[A]

I hate that. So I like, I have friends who read these with me, so I talk about this a lot and like, in a laughing manner. So they use words like considerable length.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Which I'm not kidding.

[C]

I do actually like, like, he thrust his considerable length. Oh, wow.

[A]

No, he's. His considerable length is straining against his leathers.

[C]

Oh, my God, dude, I gotta start talking like that. I'm gonna go home and be like, man, my considerable length is just not doing good in these pants right now.

[A]

Ex.

[B]

Considerable length hurts.

[A]

So considerable length. It's not like he's huge. It's like, what's the considerable length to the reader?

[B]

Yeah. It's subjective.

[A]

One that makes me laugh so hard that I kind of like. But in a way that I'm like, why do I like this? Velvet wrapped steel.

[B]

Velvet wrapped.

[A]

Now I don't know how I feel about it. I'm literally split.

[C]

That's outstanding.

[A]

The words are so good. So, so velvet wrapped steel. I, I don't know how I feel,

[B]

but that's my favorite David lynch movie.

[A]

They also use the word. Yeah, it's a great word.

[B]

Classic. They're not using penis.

[A]

They're never using.

[B]

You're never gonna see penis.

[A]

They don't use penis and vagina.

[B]

He got his penis out. Yeah.

[A]

His considerable length was straining or his velvet. I wrapped my hands around his velvet wrapped steel.

[C]

Oh, my. I grasped his velvet. Jesus.

[A]

I like those.

[B]

Wow. Velvet wrapped steel.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's a crazy.

[C]

I'm gonna be thinking about that one.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

I'm gonna be thinking about that.

[A]

For women, there's some that I, that I'm like, like what?

[B]

See, velvet wrap steel does not sound good. Because that makes me think of like a velvet couch and that material, like,

[A]

it makes me think no, no. They're like fay, and they have really incredible soft skin over something really. All right. Hard.

[B]

Yeah, for sure. There we go.

[A]

I don't need to be embarrassed about this. You don't need to be embarrassed.

[C]

This is great. I brought it up.

[B]

You're reading.

[A]

I love talking about it, but Velvet wrap steel is like, one of those. Where I read it, and I'm like, what the hell?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You're like, yeah. Where is that? When are we gonna sheath this sword?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What's happening?

[C]

I. I.

[A]

Seriously. Me and my friends will get together, and we are. Are dying laughing.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

About talking about it, but when we're reading it, we're, of course, like, so into it, dude. That's what I would say.

[C]

We should do that. We should do a smosh mouth where we're like, hey, we're. You're gonna give us all a book to read, and we're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about it. Book review.

[A]

I would literally.

[B]

It needs to be one. That's absurd. Like, it needs to be.

[A]

Oh, yeah, there's a smart that I just won't touch. Like, I think there's, like, And. And, hey, if you're into it, get it.

[C]

It.

[A]

But there's some. That's like. Like milk. Milk, Miss.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Morning Glory Milking farm.

[A]

Yeah. And it's this one I read that into, like.

[B]

Oh, that's the one that I read last year, and I talked about it on, like, five different podcasts.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That was the first smutty book I ever read.

[A]

But he's a. He's.

[B]

He's a minotaur.

[A]

He's a minotaur.

[B]

Well, it's a. It's a world where, like, mythical creatures just live alongside humans. Right. I like, so he's, like, a businessman, man. Yeah, he's, like, wearing a. A suit and tie and stuff, but he's a minotaur.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

The COVID is what made me go, oh, it's.

[B]

Don't want to read sane. It's ridiculous. So I read that. And then recently I read Icebreaker, which is far more grounded. It's a college. It's a hockey player and a figure skater, and one of the ice rinks gets sabotaged. Whatever. So they have to share an ice rink, and they. They hate each other. For what? For no clear reason. They hate each other, and then they bone a lot.

[A]

Do they ever say bone in that?

[B]

I think they say boner.

[C]

She does say, dude, if I read.

[B]

Well, because it goes. It goes between her perspective and his Perspective. And multiple times throughout that book, he's like, I'm trying to hide my boner.

[C]

See, but imagine if he said, I'm trying to hide my considerable length, my velvet seal.

[A]

That's a. I don't actually, I realize I don't like modern smut that much.

[B]

You like?

[A]

Because they're saying, like, boner. I want them to be in a tunic.

[B]

Yes. I want them to be his velvet wrapped bonus.

[A]

I want their velvet wrapped boners to be over. Under a tunic. Yes.

[B]

Yes. Like, I get it.

[A]

I. I want, like.

[B]

Because it's fantasy.

[C]

My craziest. Not. It wasn't like, it wasn't like a smut book, but when I was in, like, seventh grade, I had to do like, a book report. And I had to do like. And I was like, hey, dad, are any good books you're reading? Because I was. But he recommends me this book. And it's like a historical fiction. And it was. And was all really good and a very good book. But there was like, two things in it where I read it. And it was, you know, I was in seventh grade and there was this, like, very smutty section where it was just like, describing, like, and it was crazy because it was like, part of it was like, kind of revolutionary or like Industrial Revolution period. And this guy was like a coal miner. And then he like, goes and, like, it gets out of the coal mine and has sex with like, his whoever in like a bathtub. And it was the craziest thing. And I was reading it and I was like. Like, I was like, does my dad remember what was in this book? Because I feel like he wouldn't just give me this book to read if he remembered, like, these scenes in it.

[B]

Probably not.

[C]

And then I was like, like, seventh grade, okay, but seventh grade, but conservative Christian school. Seventh grade.

[A]

Yeah, like, reading that.

[C]

No, I know he read it, but. And I was like, well, I'm too far gone now to, like, change books. And then I did the book report on it. I was like, I had this, like, fear in the back of my head. I was like, surely, like, the teacher isn't going to, like, go look at the book and then be like, he read a weird book. I was like, very scared of that. But that was the first time I read anything.

[A]

I. I do actually relate to that, really. Like, my dad recommended True Blood when I was younger.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

And he was like, true Blood is such an amazing show. Like, you and your.

[B]

Like, your dad contains multitudes.

[A]

You need to. My dad has been a fascinating, amazing man, and me and my younger sister, and we weren't that young, but we were watching True Blood. And my mom walks in on this very specific scene where it's two vampires going at it, and he sn. Naps her head. He's going from behind, and he snaps her head to face him so that he could look at her. What are you guys watching? And she wasn't judging because my mom also watches what she wants to watch. But she goes. And we're like, this is dad's favorite show he loves. She goes.

[B]

And it didn't kill the vampire, Right.

[A]

It's just like, he was doing her from behind, and he wanted to see her face, so of course, he snapped her head back.

[C]

Yeah, that's the natural. But, like, who's got time to flip over, you know?

[A]

My dad is just like. He just loves watching things like that. And so he'll still, to this day, he's like, you got to watch a show.

[B]

It's such a good show.

[A]

And I'm like, yes,

[B]

damn.

[A]

But I'm just like, you know what? Let's. It's. It's.

[B]

Yeah, whatever, Whatever.

[A]

Let's normalize it. But.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

But I will say in these books, books, this is why I struggle with modern smut, because I just, like, I don't want to read about a guy's boner, because boner just makes me feel like I'm in high school.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So, yeah, I'm glad you're enjoying them.

[B]

I mean, they are caught. They're in college in this book.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But I just struggled because there was really kind of no plot. I was like, that. There needs to be a plot.

[A]

If the smut comes the first 300 pages, I'm like, oh, you need.

[B]

You needed to.

[A]

A slow build, full plot, full tension.

[C]

3. You have to read 300 pages before you get to the smut.

[A]

One series. I read four books to get to the smut.

[C]

Whoa.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

See, I didn't know that.

[A]

I mean, the smut is amazing, of course, but, like, I love the tension. I like, I can be turned on just by, like, looks and glances.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

That's why modern smut isn't my favorite, because I feel like they, like, just

[C]

get right to it.

[A]

Get.

[B]

It happens. Like page 50 of Icebreaker, and I was kind of like. I was like, this is crazy. Like, what?

[C]

What?

[A]

What?

[B]

Like, all right, Come on.

[C]

Barely met the character.

[B]

I hardly even know these people are.

[C]

They're already having sex on the ice.

[A]

It's like, I need to know.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I need to Know what their wants are? They are before.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Need a little world building.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

What college are they at? Do they have other choices?

[B]

It's a madeup college.

[C]

Did they not get accepted to their first choice?

[B]

It's a madeup college. I'm a student.

[C]

College. University.

[B]

True. It's truly not far off from that. It was actually fascinating though because even though it's modern day, it takes place in a college in California. It. It was a fantasy book. Right. Because it's a college hockey team of like a bunch of six, five jock dudes. But they're all so respectful of women. And like, even though they come, they're like douchey. But multiple times throughout the book it's like they're perfect, like going through like textbook of like, like, here's the most respectful way to handle this situation.

[C]

Tall respectful.

[B]

Like there's a part where like she's drunk and he's just like. He's like, no, you're drunk. I'm not gonna do anything. Like, whatever. And then like just throughout it I'm like, oh, this is the dream world where like even when guys are being douchey, they're still being so respectful. It was really interesting to read in that way.

[A]

But yeah, we. That's. That's an amazing. We would love that. That.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I feel like that's how it should be. But. But what I love about the characters is like the author isn't afraid to make these characters flawed. And then what? Deal with that.

[B]

Oh, totally. I'm like, you can still have this. They still could have had a plot. Cuz throughout the book she's just like, I hate this guy. And it's like, why? He's perfect. Like he's only doing perfect things. She's just like, I'm so annoyed by him. Like, why? Like, give us a good reason.

[A]

There's not enough world building because there's nothing better than enemies to lovers for me.

[B]

Totally.

[A]

But it's like if the person doesn't like, like them, I want. I really need to know why.

[B]

It needs to be justified.

[A]

It needs to be justified.

[B]

Yeah. And that's been my. Of the only couple smutty books I've read. I've been like, there just needs to be more plot. Like to. To. There needs to be more tension, more struggle.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So that when it happens, it's like, hell yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

I think that's a reasonable request.

[A]

Reasonable request.

[B]

Well, anyways, that's our views on smut and not all.

[C]

Not all of them. Yeah.

[A]

Rap steel. Should we, you know, check in with some comments?

[B]

Oh, yeah. We have a little segment we want to do today where we read some comments we mainly pulled from one of the more recent episodes a few weeks back. It was you, Angela, and Chance, actually. No, sorry. It was. I'm. I'm. I forgot.

[A]

It's okay. Smut does a couple.

[B]

A couple weeks ago.

[C]

Not here.

[B]

Angela and Chance and Olivia played you and I and Spencer.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And Selena found a bunch of comments from that episode that were very funny. The comments on it were just incredible.

[A]

They're so.

[B]

And I. I read a lot of our smoshmouth comments.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they're gold. I pulled up some of my favorites from. From recent episodes. Price pilled commented. They basically made Amanda the battered wife to two Brokeback mountain men who can't stop wanting each other.

[A]

This is the one I sent to Selena because I was like, wow. And. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because, I mean, Chance wasn't even there. It was. He literally became.

[B]

He transformed a version of me. Yeah.

[A]

Version of me. No, he killed it. But he has this whole thing where he's telling a story and they're just throwing around my baby, and it is this. They're having, like, this whole love affair, and he's just, like, so. In Boston, like, yeah. So good.

[B]

I saw some comments being like, oh, I. You know, they could have dropped the act, like, halfway through, and we could have just gotten them. It's like, we. I think we actually said that to them. I think we're like, yeah, feel free to, like, break character. At a certain point. They. They forget who they are.

[A]

Would they ever drop? I. I can't drop an act if I'm in a wig. Like, I don't want to.

[B]

Chance is someone else. When we. I think when we were like, like, cut for a minute or so, he. He's just in character at DJDB Music said, like, the halfway mark. Amanda recording what is already being recorded. Never change.

[A]

Yeah. I also sent that one.

[B]

You were filming it, and I was like, what does he mean?

[A]

Oh, right.

[B]

Because you were filming the episode while we were recording the episode.

[A]

Already recording.

[C]

Nice. Hey. You know, posterity.

[B]

It was like, look at them you and Angela have. Angela, especially, has such an instinct for filming things.

[A]

She.

[B]

And I'm, like, amazed by it because I'm so the opposite. I do not think to pull out my phone and record stuff or take photos. I know she'll be in the middle of, like. If ever having, like, dinner or lunch with Angela, she'll just be kind of in the middle of it. She'll just be like, huh?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And like, put her phone away. You're like, you just. Just take a photo. It's crazy.

[A]

She does do that a lot.

[B]

It's such an instinct. Linked at GWO Pit out said, my favorite part of Chance playing female characters is that the mustache is always present. I forget that he has a mustache in those moments. You truly forget. Hannah1Glay said, Amanda is the Sofia Vergara of Smosh. That's a. That's high praise.

[C]

I would say so.

[A]

I didn't know.

[B]

That is high praise.

[A]

That's incredible. Yeah. Sofia Vergara in Modern Family or just her?

[B]

Just her in general.

[A]

What's her husband's name in Modern Family?

[B]

Oh, I forget.

[A]

J. J.

[B]

She is so funny.

[A]

I'm honestly so honored.

[B]

Yeah, there you go.

[A]

I mean, speaking of True Blood, that was her ex husband, the guy who played the main wolf. Oh, whatever his name was.

[B]

I don't know. I never watched. I never watched True Blood. Don't tell your dad.

[C]

What?

[A]

True Blood is one of the funniest shows ever. It's so funny.

[B]

It's a hilarious show. It's so funny. At the O siren o of o night. Okay, there's zeros. What even is this?

[A]

Best comment.

[B]

I love that when Spencer said, what is smosh even about in the chosen competition? It. People quote that all the time now. And it's very true. I don't know.

[A]

It's.

[B]

I couldn't tell you.

[A]

People ask me, like, my family literally is like, what is smoosh? I'm like, it's okay.

[B]

We're going to know.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I have not had, like a real answer honestly since we started doing Smash Mouth and Reddit stories. It's nice to be like, yeah. We kind of do a couple podcasts, talk about it. I just kind of say that I'm like, sum it up. Some people can understand. But I'm like trying to explain. Bored AF without just being like, I mean, I guess the truth is I play board games.

[A]

We play. Yeah.

[B]

And hang out with my friends.

[C]

It's so funny because it's like, yeah, I'll say I like play board games and hang out with my friends. Friends. And I'm like, but it's not really about the board games. It's like, nobody. I don't know if anybody cares about the board games really.

[A]

Truly for kids. And we get heated.

[B]

Yeah. On Courtney's new obsession episode, there was a comment where someone said, gay joker be like, why so queeous? And Someone replied to that saying, they call me the woker. Why so queerious? And then someone in quotation said the woker.

[C]

Dude, I did a woker bit.

[B]

We've been doing woker.

[C]

I did. I did a woker bit on. On. Try not to laugh at one point. I don't know how it went over. I don't know if that video is out yet.

[B]

Oh, maybe it's not out.

[C]

Yeah, it might not be.

[B]

Maybe that got cut because it was too woke.

[C]

It could have been so woke. I think it was pretty funny. But I. You know, I'll save it, I guess if. And if you try not to laugh, I save it. Like I'll. I don't know. I could tell you the joke here, but it doesn't feel right because I'm not like wearing.

[A]

You're not wearing.

[B]

You got to be wearing the woker outfit.

[A]

It. I'm. What. What does this comment have to do with that episode?

[B]

It's just people having fun.

[A]

So in this episode. Also, Courtney. I love everything she's posting from fan art. Courtney does express that she wishes that she was tiny and food was big.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that she could, like sit in a pickle jar or like lay on garlic bread.

[B]

She wanted to, like a jelly donut. To like be inside the jelly donut with just her head sticking out of like the hole.

[C]

The jelly. I remember that.

[B]

More like a video. She said, like swimming like salsa. And I was like, that would hurt really bad.

[A]

I would like that. But I.

[C]

My velvet wrap steel would not be okay.

[A]

Yeah. We would have to figure out how to get your considerable length to be clean.

[B]

I don't know what I. Wow.

[C]

All right.

[A]

Wow. Okay.

[B]

Holy.

[A]

How does that comment?

[B]

I don't know. Sometimes people just having a good time in there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I love it and I encourage that. You don't have to comment about the video. You can comment whatever you want.

[A]

That's true. I do love reading the comments that are just like people saying hi to Truly.

[B]

Just like, what's up? I'm here hanging out. And then in the we need to talk about the subreddits episode. Oh, yeah. At Kill K L L Y E C someone said, Shane, watching heated rivalry for the hockey is like watching challengers for the tennis, which I also did. And the tennis was good.

[A]

That explains a lot to me. How was challengers? The tennis was really, really, really good. They're really good at tennis.

[C]

That's like watching Marty supreme for the ping pong.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What I haven't seen it. Is there. Okay. I'LL watch it.

[C]

I haven't seen it either. I haven't seen it either. Who knows? Maybe by the time this has come out, I'm waiting for it to come to, like video on demand.

[A]

Yeah, me too.

[B]

In the episode where we did talk about heated rivalry. Everyone wants us to talk about this at Rinston said Trevor is going to be devastated when he finds out they talked about pirates without it him. We did talk about pirates for a little bit. Well, because. Because the crew wanted us to talk about things and someone wanted us to talk about the golden age of pirates and we didn't.

[A]

Black sales.

[B]

We talked about black sales.

[A]

Black sales was all. All of those pirates were gay.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Pirates were.

[C]

I think here's the thing. And I could go on and on about pirates, so I won't. But it's like pirates were really bad people. And I feel like I have to preface that every time I talk about how much I love pirates. They did really awful things. However, there were a lot of ways in which they were incredibly progressive as well. Well, and a lot of pirates were gay. Like they were just. And they were very open about that. And there was no judge.

[B]

You're out at sea.

[A]

What are you gonna do exactly?

[B]

Yeah, no one needs get your velvet wrapped steel out, dude.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[C]

I'm trying to see Charles Vane's Velvet Rap steel.

[A]

Sure. Days at sea.

[B]

Shiver my considerable timbers. You know what I mean?

[A]

Should we come up with smut?

[B]

We should try to see who could we have a competition for who can't come up with the best terms because

[A]

it has to be, like, connected to the theme of the book. Because Velvet wrap Steel, I think, is pretty much directed about, like, fay, because they say fay skin is like.

[B]

We could come back. We can circle back on this.

[A]

This might be fun.

[B]

This might be like. Because if we give ourselves time to, like, write these out.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Smut terms Competition would go. Go so hard.

[B]

Oh, that would be so hard. It would literally go so hard.

[C]

It would go so hard.

[B]

In the. In the Trying to speak other languages episode at Die Go Swello, they say I'm from Venezuela and I discovered Smosh many years ago. Back then, I didn't understand much English. I even remember there was a channel with dubbed versions. I liked it more in English, even though I didn't understand nothing. So this feels like a full circle moment. Many years have passed and now I live in the usa and a big part of my learning came from watching those videos in English. I've seen a couple people Say they use smosh to learn.

[A]

That's awesome.

[B]

And that's why their first word is I have a few. Let's see that. I took screenshots of.

[C]

Oh, I'm gonna make a burner account and start leaving comments and try and get in the video that way.

[B]

So.

[A]

So no.

[B]

First of all, I ended up on rare insults. There's a subreddit called rare insults where people comment. Just insults that are, like, new. Like, ones that you never thought of.

[A]

Oh, fun. Okay.

[B]

Someone posted a. One of my old TikToks, like, from three or four years ago. It's me, clean shaven, whatever, and just being a white T shirt close up. And someone commented saying, he looks kind of like a llama in the best way possible.

[A]

Can I see the picture?

[B]

Yeah, it's just. It's there. Like, I don't. I don't know.

[A]

Oh, you do. Look at your sweet little face.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

It's because you have, like, a long face.

[B]

I do have a long face. There. Why the long face?

[C]

I could see a. I could see a llama with that haircut too.

[A]

You do kind of look like a llama.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

You look so sweet. Like a llama Who.

[B]

Yeah. It's not like a. It's sort of an insult. It's more of just a statement.

[C]

It's more of a compliment to llamas everywhere.

[B]

Yeah. That they look like me with you.

[A]

Llamas are cute.

[B]

Yeah. Then let's see. I have a comment here. I don't know which episodes these are from. We can probably suss it out at. Liz 2182. I didn't realize how much structure Shane brought to Smoshmouth. Oh, that's the episode with you, Angela, and Chance when I was gone, that was the top comment. It had 12, 000 likes.

[A]

Hey, hey, hey.

[B]

There was. Hey, hey.

[A]

You imagine me trying to bring structure out of that episode. I didn't bring the candies. I didn't bring any of that. It was impossible. And you know what? I had a good time.

[B]

The other top comment on that was giving you guys candy was a choice.

[A]

It was a huge.

[B]

Hey, here we have a. We have a audio medium. Let's give you suckers. Jesus Christ. You guys brought the pot of candy.

[A]

Angela brought the pot of candy. And when Angela brings something, you can't say no because it's done. You're halfway through the episode and you go, I should have said no to this. But it's done. And I. I truly do. I do feel bad about that episode because I Was like, oh, my God, we're a nightmare. Like, for listeners. What a nightmare.

[B]

How dare you?

[A]

I did feel like I was on acid that whole episode.

[B]

It's a very funny episode, though. Really great out about the charge you guys are talking about. Like, intense.

[A]

Oh, yeah. And we were talking. It was like.

[B]

It's like. It's. We're all laughing, but I'm like, wait. Chances. Talk about being outed by the church, which is horribly dramatic.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But we're all laughing.

[A]

Deal with really traumatic stuff.

[B]

Yes. It's a. It is a tough thing to be. Not a tough thing, but, like, we are the types. All of us at Smosh are the types that handle the worst news in our own personal lives with jokes. But then we gotta try to pull that back.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

When it comes to other things. Because then it comes across horrible. It's like, no, no, That's. That's my way of acknowledging that this is the worst possible thing that is truly.

[A]

We love. Like, we, like, really let loose on that episode, and we were just kind of exploring some dark, dark stuff, and it was kind of like giving each other space to be like, oh, this is how we're handling it while munching on candy. Which was a huge mistake.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And I will. I will take. I will say sorry for that.

[B]

But. But.

[A]

But structure. H. How. In that episode. How.

[B]

Yeah, it's how. I think it's sometimes good that we don't.

[A]

You were gone, and it was just like, yeah, man. We let loose.

[B]

Hell, yeah. Okay, this comes from our predictions episode from. From earlier this year. And it's. Someone clocked it. Someone clocked me on this one. They said. I feel like Shane's predictions are either Smosh will post at least one video this year or humankind will discover time travel between. Dude. Okay. I made the mistake of saying we're going to discover a new fish. And the amount of DMS and messages across the board that I get about new fish being discovered, they're like, you're an idiot. I knew that. Like, they're discovering new fish, like, really all the time. But, like, not at this rate. It's kind of alarming how many fish they're discovering.

[C]

I see. I.

[B]

We gotta. We gotta slow down now. What I was saying too, is I'm like, I want, like, a brand new. Like, real brand new fish, not a new classification.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Not like a. Not a boring fish. It's got to be like, holy shit, we've never seen this guy. Look at this.

[C]

Something crazy. Like, they went like, we've gone. You know, they say, however much of the ocean hasn't been explored, they went to that part and they found something completely new.

[B]

And I'm. I'm getting that. People are like, no, they're discovering new fish and they're showing me photos, and I'm like, yeah, that's a new. I've never seen that fish. I want it to be. I need this fish to upstage Punch. Yeah. I need. I need punch to become old news. They're like, no, this fish. Yeah, he's the news now.

[C]

Hey, buddy, call me when your fish is cooler.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Stop bringing me these bum ass fish. Okay? I don't care.

[B]

Hard. Another comment from another one of the videos. Oh, this is from the episode where you came back. It was me, Damien, and you. This. This comment made me laugh so hard. I remember seeing it back in the day at Ruzoku. Said, I can't believe they're gonna execute Damian backstage right after this.

[A]

God.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Because it was true. It was like, you're in my seat.

[B]

All right? And now we have to kill you.

[A]

And I was like, get out of my seat.

[B]

Get out of here.

[A]

I played it so hard.

[B]

Last comment I have.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And this cuz I remember a few episodes ago, we were talking about rats. Remember? Somehow rats got brought up.

[A]

Tell a story.

[B]

And you about Sam, we didn't know that you despise rats.

[A]

I. I do not like them.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Maybe it's from being from the east coast and.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, going to Boston where, like, you go in an alleyway and you're like, oh, here are a thousand rats dancing. Like, here are a thousand rats. And they purposely want to get on.

[B]

Baby.

[C]

Dancing rats.

[B]

Dancing rats. Sounds amazing.

[C]

I feel like I don't know if I would be cool with a thousand rats, but if all of them were dancing, I'd be like, that's on your foot.

[B]

But I was. I was trying to convince you that pet rats. Pet rats are like a thing. And people have pet rats. And they're actually very sweet. They're super cute. I also, before I get to this comment, I was gonna say I'm reading a book. I'm reading a non fiction book called the Rise and Reign of the Mammals. And it's all just about how mammals are a thing. It's by the same guy. He wrote the Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, which is an awesome book.

[A]

Wow, that does sound fun.

[B]

And now he's writing this book, and I didn't realize that rodents and apes are, like, kind of on the same, like, we're closer to. We're more similar than other branch, like, carnivores.

[C]

Interesting.

[B]

Well, you think about. I was thinking about it, and I was like, oh, right. Rodents, like rats and stuff, can grab things with their hands. I was like, whoa, we are. We are not as far off as I thought we were. Compared to, like, things with hooves and things, like, with paws. We're actually. We are much like rats. They're our brethren, perhaps.

[A]

No, I actually. I feel throw up.

[C]

There's a lot of times in my life where I'll be doing something and I'm like, I could see a rat doing this.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm like, eating an in and out burger over the trash can at the end of the in and out burger is dripping that. That spread. And I'm like, over the trash can.

[B]

Like, it's rat behavior. Splinter over here, Master Splinter. Splinter over here. Ashley Morrow said, I've had four pet rats in my lifetime, and they are genuinely the sweetest little dudes, like, tiny dogs. My very first rat, Fluffernut Butter, liked to go on walks. Had a little harness and leash. I would walk him outside the apartments I was living in at the time. He also loved hanging out on your shoulder while you did literally anything. Or taking a nap. And in sweatshirt hoods and pockets.

[C]

I'm sorry. That's adorable.

[A]

I'm sorry.

[B]

That is so sweet. Do you have a little rat on your shoulder?

[A]

Look, maybe I've watched too much medieval, but don't they, like, burrow inside your stomach and then eat your organs?

[B]

You're referencing Game of Thrones. Yeah.

[C]

You're referencing, like, torture methods.

[B]

Feral reference rats. That's like feral. Cats and dogs are a different thing than.

[C]

Do you with Stuart Little.

[B]

Well, he's a mouse. Yeah, but you didn't have a problem with mice, Right?

[A]

Ratatouille was hard for me to watch.

[C]

Whoa.

[A]

That's awesome.

[C]

Nobody's ever said that sentence before.

[B]

I threw up five times in the theater.

[A]

Do I want to rap making my food?

[C]

Ratatouille was really hard for me to watch.

[A]

You have a soup they make, anything could drop in there. He washes his hands. I don't.

[C]

That's.

[A]

The whole thing is he's a cook.

[C]

Anyone can cook.

[A]

For me to watch, it felt like a scary movie.

[B]

Damn, Trevor, it was great having you today.

[C]

[B]

[A]

Outstanding concept, great movie thing.

[C]

[A]

[B]

No.

[A]

Cute little mouse with big ass ears.

[B]

But if. If Remy from Ratatouille, if he put on an outfit, would you be. Feel a little better? No, no.

[A]

He could put on cute ass jeans. Like, he could put on apple bottom jeans and I'd be like, absolutely.

[B]

His considerable girth. Oh, God.

[C]

Oh, God.

[A]

You're like, what's straining against. We have little. Hey, hey. You said it, not me.

[B]

Little rat penis.

[A]

He puts on leathers and you're just like, Jesus.

[C]

Has the phrase little rat penis ever been in one of your books?

[A]

No, not yet. And I.

[B]

It'll happen.

[C]

It's like how you describe the villain in the smut book. It's like his little rat penis.

[A]

All have considerable lengths.

Everybody's got huge penises.

[A]

Yeah. And hey, considerable length is what's a considerable length.
