Remember 1981, car payments were 200, maybe $300 a month.
Shane
Yeah, we missed that during our 45th anniversary. We're not bringing back the 17% interest rates or the hairstyles, but we are bringing back something better. Payments that actually make sense. Drive home a new Subaru with modern tech, safety and reliability with real offers that work today. Enter to win $4,500 for you and $4,500 for a local nonprofit. Stop by any McCurley location to enter. No purchase necessary. McCurley, Subaru, your way home.

And, Doug, there's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual. Even if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.
Amanda
Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this your first date?
Jeff
Oh, no.
Liberty Mutual Spokesperson
We help people customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual together. We're married. Me to a human, him to a bird.
Amanda
Yeah, the bird looks out of your league.
Liberty Mutual Spokesperson

Jeff
Liberty. Hi, welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.
Amanda
And I'm Amanda. And we have a wonderful guest with us today. Tommy.
Shane
Hold on, guys. I'll be right there. It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good. They're gonna love this one. Okay, I'll be right there, guys. Hold on. It's gonna be really good, okay?
Amanda
What?
Shane
Oh, God, these shoes. Hold on.
Jeff
Hold on.
Shane
I'm really far away.
Amanda
Whoa, oh, oh, oh.
Shane
Okay, guys, I made it.
Amanda
Sorry.
Jeff
Thank you, Tommy. Thank God for people watching and listening. You probably just heard a bunch of sounds.
Shane
Realistic, believable, and exciting sounds from someone who's hot.
Jeff
He was running down the stairs in high heels and fell. Today we have a bunch of Foley props. This was a pitch we had months ago. We're like, what if we did an episode where we do Foley sound?
Shane
Yeah, I remember that day. I think if I recall correctly, you were sitting there and you're like, wait a second.
Amanda
Fuck, Fuck, fuck.
Shane
Hold on, hold on. And you were like, wait a second.
Amanda
Fuck.
Jeff
If anyone's curious about how we come up with ideas at Smosh, that is. It was.
Amanda
And then when Shane came up with the idea, we all went, cheers, there it is.
Jeff
And then a frog came out, and it was like, I've never used one of these before.
Shane
I also just want to say we respect the actual art and craft of
Amanda
Foley because it seems really hard. See, this is what we do on Smoshmouth. We go, we want to Try that. Let's try it.
Shane
And we do the stupidest, worst version of it.
Jeff
And, I mean, show how hard.
Amanda
Yeah, I'm not sure it's going to go well, but we have a bunch of Foley props, and we brought our most talented Foley artist, Tommy.
Shane
Sounds. Noises. It's what I like, because I don't words well.
Amanda
He actually is very, very good at sounds. I think Tommy does actually think in sounds and noises.
Shane
Yeah, that's probably right.
Jeff
Oh, yeah.
Shane
During the pandemic, I used to. This is how the make that Sound game started. When I pitched that. One of the many things that I've pitched at work. And I was with my boyfriend at the time, and he was playing video games, and they had such little, like. And I would just sit there and echo them like a strange little parrot. It was the best. And then I was like, wait, we got to do this?
Amanda
Well, the last time you were on, I think it was when we did the cartoon sounds.
Jeff
Yes.
Amanda
Where I did really well and you did way better.
Shane
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jeff
Such a good one. And also, I feel like I see so many comments of people talking about how this is a podcast, which is an audio medium, but such. We do so much visual shit.
Amanda
I know.
Shane
Podcasts aren't audio anymore.
Jeff
I know. They're fully just a video, really.
Shane
Everything is a podcast. Everything is you and your mom in the car. It's kind of you on the toilet.
Jeff
It's the equivalence of cereal with food. Right. Where isn't ever a salad. Everything's a salad, right? What is the argument?
Shane
Like, everything's a salad.
Jeff
Everything's a salad.
Amanda
Let me get some cups for us to sit down for this conversation.
Jeff
I think it was Noah who said this, like 10 years ago to me that everything's a salad, because a salad is. What is a salad? It's a combination of. Of things.
Amanda
That's so true.
Jeff
And every plate of food is a combination of things. So that's so.
Shane
It's like.
Jeff
It's not.
Shane
Oh, Shane Idea, guys. That was a legitimate Shane idea.
Amanda
Wait, that's. That feels like old news stations, remember? Or like, radio stations.
Shane
We'll be right back with Scoogum and McGoogie. And before that, we've got another episode of shane idea on BBC2.
Amanda
Duh.
Jeff
Hello and welcome to Shane Ideas.
Amanda
Duh.
Jeff
What are you doing? And also, some kid in the back is playing Roblox.
Amanda
You guys know those radio stations. It's like, bo, hey, how are you doing that?
Jeff
What are you talking about?
Shane
I do. I. Okay, so not Exactly. So hold on. So hold on, guys. That was an Amanda moment.
Jeff
That was Amanda moment.
Shane
That was an Amanda moment.
Jeff
Are you watching?
Shane
Aw. I know what you're talking about. It's like on the.
Amanda
I got a. Yeah, the radio.
Shane
Yeah, on the.
Amanda
And it's just like. You didn't tell me that. It's like,
Jeff
we got Jake the. Here.
Amanda
Okay, guys, this episode's gonna be really artistic and very fun.
Shane
It's gonna be.
Jeff
So we're losing our minds.
Amanda
We're not losing our minds.
Jeff
We're having the polar opposite type of losing our minds right now because we've been in the middle of the move. So we actually haven't been filming anything. We've, like, kind of been. Not. I think a few months ago, we were losing our minds because we were filming so much like we're filming so
Amanda
now thing where it takes an element to start the engine, I think, for us.
Jeff
Yeah.
Amanda
And I will say, I am so into. I don't know. When we pitch Foley, I was like, yes, I'm so into it. Because you don't realize, like, every show, every movie, it's all fully. It's all Foley.
Shane
Every time I see someone in a kitchen in a movie, when they're in the kitchen just doing kitchen stuff, you know, there's a guy in a closet.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Like.
Amanda
But I don't think people know that.
Jeff
They're right behind the camera.
Amanda
Yeah. Make your
Jeff
good sound. Yikes.
Amanda
That person was very thirsty. They were just buried alive and they needed something to drink.
Jeff
I. This is. I'm very excited for our audio listeners to comment on this because they don't see the items you're picking up. The sounds just happen.
Amanda
I think they're. I think it's. I don't know if it's gonna go our way.
Shane
I think we're gonna do just fine.
Amanda
I think we're gonna do just fine.
Shane
We're gonna do just fine.
Amanda
I think we're gonna do just fine.
Jeff
This doesn't involve a prop, but this is me on a swing explaining the plot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Okay, so in season one, it's a little bit more like Monster of the Week. And then later on in season two, you get Spike introduced, and they start to do, like, a little bit more of a, like, regular thing. And then season three is absolutely its peak. But season four, it kind of goes up and down, and then it keeps then. But season.
Amanda
Hey, kid, get off that swing. It's been like, it's my turn.
Jeff
You. I'm gonna do a flip. Hold On. I'm gonna do a flip. I'm gonna do a flip.
Amanda
You know what? I'm getting out of here. I'll see you later. Bye.
Shane
That has been the episode of Shane, whatever. The setup, like I said before on BBC2.
Amanda
Shane idea.
Shane
Shane idea.
Jeff
I would. It would be so fun if we had a PBS show.
Shane
I'd love that if we just. Did PBS make it?
Jeff
What?
Shane
Did it make it?
Amanda
Did PBS make it?
Shane
Did it make it? I forget.
Jeff
I don't know if it made it publicly.
Amanda
Wait, isn't that.
Jeff
They're trying to. They're trying.
Shane
They've been.
Jeff
The government is trying to get rid of.
Amanda
I'm actually not sure that PBS made it, guys.
Jeff
Damn it.
Amanda
They made it. Okay, James.
Jeff
They made it. James said they made it, but they lost their federal funding, I think. I, like, I know NPR lost its.
Shane
So now it's really brought to you by viewers like you.
Jeff
Yes. Yeah. No, it was crazy when they announced it, they were like, yeah, so, like, please help support us so that you can get the news. And I was like, Jesus, this is.
Amanda
This is PBS in the editing room.
Shane
Hold on, hold on.
Amanda
Cut it. It cut the string.
Shane
That was an Amanda moment.
Amanda
Thank you.
Jeff
This is me. This is me getting out a bag of cereal. And then an X wing or a TIE fighter flies by. Okay, so. Oh, God. I think these a little stale. What the.
Shane
That was the fastest eye fighter I've ever seen.
Amanda
Watching Shane get actually so overwhelmed in that moment, like, I got scared. I, I.
Shane
There it is.
Amanda
You're. You're not gonna lose your job. Wait, Watching Shane get actually spooked. He looks like it was his first job.
Jeff
Like, wait, do I not know how to use this? I was like, what the.
Amanda
It looks like it was your first day on the job and like, you could have gotten fired if you didn't hit.
Shane
That was an emergency for you.
Jeff
I look like. When, when it's like the LA Philharmonic and there's a guy who has the one.
Amanda
One thing.
Shane
Oh, yeah.
Jeff
He goes and he does it. He's like.
Amanda
I think about the orchestra. Orchestra. The guy.
Shane
I think about the orcs. How many violins they got. Are we cutting the moment away?
Amanda
I'm cutting that idea.
Shane
No, tell me about the orchestra.
Amanda
No, I think about the orchestra when I sit back and watch it sometimes. And there's just the guy in the back. Like, he's just waiting so desperately for his time, and I, I feel so much stress for him.
Shane
If you've got, if you've got a billion notes to play, you can get one wrong. But if you've got one note to play.
Amanda
Oh, yeah.
Jeff
And you're one of, like, several. Right. If you're in the. The.
Amanda
Like, you're one guy.
Jeff
Or the. The clarinets. It's like, okay, I mess up, but there's a few of us. They don't know who did it.
Shane
Who did it.
Jeff
It's kind of like how back in the day, you know, with. I was going to say. I was going to say an Ian fact.
Amanda
Say an Ian fact.
Jeff
A horrible Ian.
Shane
Oh, one of the horrible.
Amanda
Oh, I love a horrible fact.
Jeff
I don't know why my brain went to this. It's like back in the old days when it's like, oh, like execution by firing squad. They would. It'd be like, oh, several of them have blanks, and only one has a real bullet. So they get to all be like, we don't know who actually killed him.
Amanda
Is this an Ian fact that he told you?
Jeff
All right, that's a fact that I've heard, but I feel like that's. But I feel like playing a clarinet is similar to execution.
Shane
You heard it here first.
Jeff

Amanda

Jeff

Shane
I don't think they get.
Jeff
For people watching, they get to see it, but I think for those.
Shane
Let them experience the truffoli, they get
Jeff
to be completely blindsided.
Amanda
Can I ask a question then? What is this actually used for?
Shane
Well, that's for when you want to grab a ball the size of an acorn.
Jeff
Yeah. Is that for ice cream?
Amanda
Is it chestnuts?
Shane
I don't think roasting it definitely gives. I'm holding a hot ball.
Amanda
So, guys, it's scissors with a me every night.
Shane
Sorry. I'm so. I'm so sorry. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Amanda
What?
Shane
That was a Tommy moment. Okay. Amanda's holding a thing that holds hot balls.
Amanda
Yes. So it's scissors with a ball thing attached.
Shane
Got it.
Jeff
A hot.
Shane
An apt description, if I may.
Amanda
To be honest, I'm kind of scared to like make noises cuz for some reason I'm like, oh, this will be easy. And now I'm like.
Jeff
I think now that it's placed in front of us, we realize the reality of the situation.
Shane
Yeah. We're more doing soundboard art as opposed to fully art.
Amanda
Right. Okay. Can I do one thing, though?
Shane
I would love if you would do more than one thing.
Amanda
This is Angela coming in to a meeting late with her coffee.
Jeff
Hold on.
Shane
Shit. Okay. Because Angela is a two foot or, sorry, a two inch long mouse scraping to get in and she's wearing boots. Okay.
Amanda
Ugh. Sorry, you guys. Sorry. Hold on. Oh, let me run to my seat.
Jeff
And this is where Angela's Pinocchio.
Shane
I was about to say this. I was literally about to say this was before the Blue Fairy turned Angela into a real girl.
Jeff
Yes.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Let me get my coffee.
Shane
Oh, she dropped it on the floor for a second, I think.
Amanda
Oh, my coffee's filled.
Shane
Oh, it's a quiet coffee.
Amanda
Should I get the job? How was my audition for Foley Artist?
Shane
Yeah, you know what?
Amanda
You're right. This is actually for a puppet.
Shane
Like a little marionette puppet. Okay, but it's a horse, too.
Jeff
Well, it's like a marionette horse. It's galloping strings.
Shane
Oh, it's a little sick.
Jeff
Whoa. A sick horse galloping.
Shane
Oh, he's fast. Oh, no. Oh, it's over. It's about to be over. Pay your respects.
Amanda
He has something underneath his foot.
Shane
He's trying to get it off.
Amanda
And now it's done. Okay, just for a second, because he wants to take a moment to look at the.
Shane
Oh, so he's. Well, actually. Oh, he sounds happy now.
Amanda
And that's it. That's my horse.
Jeff
Okay.
Shane
Wait, can I feed him something?
Amanda
Sure.
Shane
Oh, my God, I would love to feed him something.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Where was that cereal? Can I see some of those?
Jeff
I'll walk over to you.
Shane
To you. All right, I think I've got. All right, I've got a few treats in my hands. Come here, bud. Come here, come here.
Amanda
Okay, he's running a little fast. Come on.
Shane
Oh, my God. He's approaching me really fast. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Here, here, here, here. Take some. Take some out of my hand. Go for it.
Jeff
I wouldn't trust that horse if I were you.
Shane
But he seems so nice.
Jeff
Oh, he seems nice.
Shane
Is my hand gonna be okay, or.
Jeff
I don't know about your hand.
Amanda
Oh. Oh, God, yeah.
Shane
Oh, I'm running away immediately. I'm running away immediately.
Amanda
You can definitely hear heels in grass.
Shane
Oh, okay.
Amanda
Okay. This horse said that was you.
Shane
That was an evil horse.
Amanda
Yes.
Shane
I knew there was something wrong with it.
Amanda
His name is Chartreuse.
Jeff
This is a robot. Like a very, like, old school robot. Like a steampunk robot trying to use the bathroom.
Amanda
Okay.
Jeff
He's having trouble.
Amanda
Okay, okay. All right.
Jeff
Oh, my God. You just couldn't.
Amanda
Watching Shane go through this.
Shane
Wait, I'm sorry.
Amanda
Watching Chanel. I know.
Shane
No, I want to. I really want to support you and enjoy the moment, but I did not.
Amanda
Watching Shane experience this is actually a greater joy than Any Foley that he could do.
Shane
So he's trying to get a zipper.
Jeff
Trying to get a zipper, and then he's getting. This is his penis. Yeah. He's trying to get it out and he's like, robot.
Amanda
I didn't know that robots had penises.
Shane
Well, every robot has a penis, Amanda.
Amanda
Come on. What about the woman robot somewhere. What is this?
Shane
What a good question.
Amanda
Yeah, yeah, I'd love to know.
Jeff
Wait, sorry, did you ask. What was the question?
Amanda
I know you're fully.
Shane
You know. Yeah. Wait, you know what?
Amanda
Just watching Shane do this, it's almost like he's. Like he really wants the job, but he already got the job. But it is his first day and he feels like he's going to get fired.
Shane
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amanda
And I like it.
Jeff
Okay.
Amanda
I like it.
Jeff
Thanks.
Amanda
It adds a lot of stakes.
Jeff
Okay.
Shane
I'm going to be the robot in the stall across from that guy who is at the urinal.
Amanda
Yeah.
Jeff
Okay.
Shane
Okay.
Jeff
Okay.
Shane
Pooped. And that.
Amanda
Was a Tommy moment.
Shane
Everyone loved it. Everyone loved it. Yes. The buttons play. Oh, yeah. That's how. That's how it sounded. So crisp.
Amanda
Do you know what it's like that
Shane
Mary had a little lamb, but wrong. Let him have this.
Jeff
I'm trying. I'm trying to figure out the notes,
Amanda
you know, that I wanted to move on, but I won't.
Shane
No, we're gonna stay here until we figured it out.
Amanda
Okay?
Jeff
I. Okay.
Amanda
That was really good.
Shane
It was really good.
Amanda
I'm sorry.
Jeff
I fucking found it.
Amanda
No, you killed
Jeff
that shit.
Amanda
I'm actually kind of controlling. Sometime
Shane
you're realizing now.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Sometimes you gotta let go of it.
Amanda
I said it to my husband the other day. I said, am I kind of controlling? And he was like, yeah, a little bit. And I was like, oh, my God.
Jeff
And then he said, can I come out now?
Amanda
And I said, no, stay in there, idiot.
Jeff
Can I lean on.
Shane
Can I. No.
Amanda
You know what I realized? It's not that I want to control you because I don't think you're going to do a good job. I want to control you because I want them. I know that. It's. I kind of know how to have a good moment. And then I realized, what the fuck? That's kind of egotistical.
Shane
So you're going, damn, he's flopping over there. I better save his ass, to be fair.
Jeff
Yeah, it happened.
Amanda
Yeah. But then I went, amanda, let him flop.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Why is it so hard to just let him flop and have people kind of around? Go, this isn't really the best time, but it's okay. Why can't I let that happen?
Shane
We need more clowning classes so that.
Amanda
You really do gotta let it go, guys. I'm not even kidding. Last night, I was in bed going, oh, my God. Am I controlling? And h. And I talked about it for probably 30 minutes, and he wasn't like, yeah. And then you said after 30 minutes,
Jeff
he said, I'm done talking about this.
Amanda
No, he just went, why do you think that? And I realize sometimes I'm afraid to, like, say what I want to do because I'm worried that people will be like, well, I don't want to do that. And he's like, why can't you just say what you want to do and set the path and let people have their own journeys in your path.
Jeff
Wow.
Amanda
We had like. And I was like, oh. And I said, but what if someone's having a bad time in their journey? And he said, let them. Yeah, that's not on you.
Shane
Exactly.
Amanda
And I was like, whoa.
Jeff
It's their journey.
Amanda
So that whole moment where Shane was trying to play Mommy Had a Little Lamb, or whatever the F it's called,
Jeff
Mommy Had a Little Lamb from the
Shane
perspective of Mary's son, I just sat
Amanda
there and went, this is my time to practice sitting. Sitting and letting him have his own journey. And you said, let them. And I went, ah.
Shane
Anyways, thank you for sharing that beautiful moment. No, don't cut it. Don't cut it.
Amanda
Okay. No, you're welcome.
Shane
But you can scoop it with a ball.
Amanda
When you have a child, you have so many aha moments. It is. It is the hardest thing ever. But then you go, whoa. I got to that aha moment so fast.
Shane
Yeah. That's awesome.
Amanda
Yeah. Yeah. Every month, you.
Shane
Every month.
Amanda
Every month, you grow a whole lifetime.
Jeff
All right, so two people are gonna do voices. One person's gonna do the sounds.
Amanda
Looks like Tommy's ready.
Jeff
Selena's gonna give us a scenario.
Shane
Okay. I would love to do the sounds. Yeah.
Jeff
Okay.
Shane
I thrive in the background. I'm ready to go.
Jeff
Good. Because clearly, sounds not my thing.
Amanda
Shane, that's not true. You guys are a surgeon and an assistant operating in the operating room.
Shane
Okay, hold on. Let me.
Amanda
Let the. I'll be the.
Shane
Let the artist grab what he needs. Okay.
Jeff
Okay.
Amanda
First, we're gonna let the artist prepare
Shane
a surgeon and the assistant and the officer.
Amanda
So I'll be the assistant. I don't like blood. And you. Do you watch the pit?
Jeff
Do you not watch the pit?
Amanda
No, Shane, I couldn't watch ER and that's the original. The pit. Okay, so do we know what's wrong with the patient?
Jeff
Well, I'm the doctor, so I'm gonna figure it out.
Amanda
Whoa. Okay, you're right. You're right.
Jeff
Okay, Assistant doctor, I know this is your first day, but this is a teaching hospital.
Amanda
Yes.
Jeff
So this is how we do things. All right, are you ready? We're going in. This. This patient not looking good. They're unresponsive.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
Seems like this monitor's going slower.
Jeff
I need you to hand me the utensils. The medical utensils.
Amanda
I'll hand you the medical utensils.
Jeff
Hand them to me.
Amanda
Scalpel. Let me just get it.
Jeff
Yeah. Could you sharpen the scalpel a little bit for me?
Amanda
Yes, of course.
Jeff
Okay, nice. Get it real nice and sharp. Just be careful. There's sparks coming out of that.
Shane
Right?
Amanda
Oh.
Jeff
Oh, gosh.
Amanda
Ow.
Jeff
I got a small fire. We started a small, small fire on the patient.
Amanda
Let me get some water and put it out.
Jeff
Yeah, pour out. Pour it. Oh. Oh, my God.
Amanda
I got it.
Jeff
Okay, you.
Amanda
I put it out.
Jeff
Put that out.
Amanda
Thank you so goodness.
Jeff
Okay, can you. Can you plug in the. The monitor and. And check the vitals?
Amanda
Oh, yeah. I unplugged the monitor by accident because
Jeff
I tripped over when you lit it on fire.
Amanda
Okay. Okay, let's check the vitals.
Jeff
Can you type in some things on that monitor? Really?
Amanda
What's great about the monitor is it only does it once a minute.
Jeff
Yeah.
Amanda
So you don't need to know it
Jeff
fully has beep and see, There it is. Once a minute.
Amanda
Okay, let me check the vitals. Just gonna type in what exact vitals to put in. Oh, okay, so ibuprofen, 800 milligrams. Vitals.
Jeff
Okay, good.
Amanda
Because he's. He's in a lot of pain.
Jeff
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 800.
Amanda
All right, let me just send it to print. Sent. Printing.
Jeff
Okay. All right.
Amanda
They really need to replace these printers. I know.
Jeff
We're really behind on our technology here.
Amanda
We're really behind. Let me get the paper.
Jeff
We need to. Now we need to cut open this guy's shirt really quick.
Amanda

I know.
Shane
It's. Well, that was the most fun.
Jeff
The sound. I don't know how to do it.

Amanda
This episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by Zbiotics. It's April and I want to enjoy the festivities before going out with girlfriends and having a glass of wine or two. I started drinking Zebiotics Pre Alcohol drink so I can start the next day feeling great. I got up early and I enjoyed a beautiful spring morning.
Jeff
Zebiotics Pre Alcohol Probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking here's how it works.
Amanda
When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.
Jeff
Just remember to make pre alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow.
Amanda
I honestly love that I was able to get up early the next morning, have breakfast, and do some laundry. I was able to enjoy my time with my friends and be productive the next day.
Jeff
April is a sprint of outdoor celebrations. Drink pre alcohol to stay ahead of the game and make the most of every sunny Saturday.

I want one. All right.
Amanda
I need some of that.
Jeff
Tommy and I are the burglars.
Amanda
Yeah, I'm worried about this.
Shane
Two burglars trying to rob the lou. Oh, we also got these.
Amanda
This is really hard. All right. Two burglars kind of rob the Louvre.
Jeff
Okay, we are going to. I. I was. I was sitting here going, I cannot do a French accent to save my life.
Amanda
Yes, you can.
Jeff
I'm gonna sound like every other actor.
Amanda
French is kind of like this.

We are going to deliver. We are going to get the pictures from the inside of the leaf.
Jeff
All right, let us do it.

Okay.
Jeff
Okay. Let us get on this ladder.

Jeff
You go first, Pierre. Be careful, Pierre.
Shane
Thank you. I know it is a little stupid, but I wear my tap shoes today.
Jeff
Oh, yes. That is what we must do because we are French. You're. You're taking so long on that ladder.
Shane
It's okay. I will go up the ladder really fast.
Jeff
That's okay.
Shane
Here we go.
Jeff
We in France, we take things very slow.
Shane
Okay, here I go. Oh, my God.
Jeff
Oh.
Shane
Thank you for hiring me. I am not the most coordinated. Okay, I am up now. You to come up.
Jeff
All Right. I will now come up first. Let me light a cigarette. Delicious. All right, time to go up with the latter. Okay, here I go. And I'm going up the ladder. I have metal shoes on. This ladder is very metal as well. Oh, I'm dangling from the ladder.
Shane
I will throw a rope down. I will throw a rope throw. Oh, do you have it? Hold on. I'll try it again.
Jeff
And I caught it.
Amanda
Oh, good.
Shane
All right, now I'll pull you up.
Jeff
Pull me up. All right.
Shane
Okay, we are in.
Jeff
Now we are in. Okay, we are in front of the case. We need to cut the glass.
Shane
We need to cut the glass in a big circle.
Jeff
Big, beautiful, perfect circle. Okay, here we go.
Shane
Here we go.
Jeff
And we are cutting it with ces.
Shane
Don't worry. I brought the Elmer's glue to put it back afterward. Okay, we have to get inside.
Jeff
Turning into the Amish boy from.
Shane
Okay, we have got.
Jeff
All right, let us perfectly take this glass sphere out of the. The case. We need to remove.
Shane
Okay, you have it. Here we go.
Jeff
Okay, that was actually. That was. All right, let us. Now we are. Oh, do you hear the lasers?
Shane
Oh, I do. I do. The laser.
Jeff
Oh, I dropped my rope.
Shane
All right, all right, I'm going to put my hands into this big vat of jewels and take as many as I can.
Jeff
Beautiful gloved hands into their.
Shane
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Oh.
Jeff
Oh, yeah. I think you need to moisturize your hands.
Shane
I sleep with the window open and my hand outside the window.
Jeff
Your hands sound like silverware.
Shane
Okay, let me try again. Once again, let me say that I am grabbing jewels out of a case. Small jewels.
Jeff
You're grabbing. Velvety crowned with your.
Shane
You know, like, imagine a pile of gems. And I am pulling a. You know, and I am pulling.
Jeff
The acoustics in this museum are so crazy.
Shane
I am pulling.
Jeff
Okay, I think.
Shane
Are you looking for that?
Amanda
No.
Shane
Okay, you know what?
Jeff
All right.
Shane
I don't think I can get a good grip on there.
Jeff
All right, let me try. Let me try to reach in with my big metal utensil that I can reach in.
Shane
You know what? I think that will work.
Jeff
And I can.
Shane
I think that will work.
Jeff
The crown. Okay, here we go.
Shane
Here we go.
Jeff
Oh, you've got it. And I will.
Shane
Oh, oh, don't throw.
Jeff
I broke the crown jewels.
Shane
We did it.
Jeff
Just pick it up and run.
Shane
We need to go.
Jeff
Let it run. And let's leave out the window.
Shane
Let's leave out the window. The ladder,
Jeff
They flying away.
Shane
Oh, my rope. It came. It followed me. My Rope. I love you.
Jeff
Oh, and there's the helicopter that is going to take us away.
Shane
Oh, it sounds like the helicopter is relieved over and over again. Okay, great. Okay, a long. A long wait. A long rope has fallen from the helicopter. Oh, it's a. It's a metal rod.
Jeff
Oh, this is going to suck.
Shane
Okay, harness your inner stripper and go up, people.
Jeff
All right.
Shane
I think that's what that was. Okay, the helicopters ready to go.
Jeff
Not so easy. Easy demanda. Oh, and you were talking so much earlier.
Shane
Oh, okay.
Jeff
Okay.
Shane
I am very relieved to be in the helicopter.
Jeff
We are in.
Shane
I would like. So is the helicopter. And I would like to eat my sandwich of celebration. What do you think?
Jeff
Oh, yes, I would love that, Pierre.
Shane
A sandwich of celebration. Okay, let me. Let me unwrap it first. Okay, let me unwrap it first. Oh, yeah, there we go.
Jeff
I say foot long, fresh sourdough.
Shane
Okay, time to eat.
Jeff
Oh, you dropped your balls.
Amanda
I know. I will get to the bottles back
Jeff
when I can get, baby. Ah, there you are in the air like you always do.
Shane
Thank you so much. I'm gonna go pick up my balls now. Oh, I make papa right back in the magnetic balls. Testicles.
Jeff
Yes. We are made out of metal. That is what nobody knows.
Shane
How is that? How is that?
Amanda
That was awful. That was so hard. My brain cannot think about what makes sounds.
Jeff
And you know what, Amanda? We were watching you struggle, and we said, we're gonna let her. We're gonna let that happen.
Amanda
We're gonna let her have her own journey.
Jeff
Even though we set this. Guys, I am so curious what this journey was like for audio listeners.
Shane
I'm sure it was fun.
Jeff
What's the fun?
Amanda
I'm not sure. Yeah, it was really hard to, like, come up with us eating a sandwich.
Shane
Well, you did it at the end, which was.
Jeff
Yeah, but you look over, there's a sandwich right next to you that you could.
Shane
I think that was my favorite moment, was you squeezing the ball. That makes no noise.
Jeff
It makes no noise, literally.
Amanda
I put them together. I went.
Shane
Well, when you slammed them together, they made like a. What happened to my throat? When you slammed them together. Now when you have them with two balls and you slammed them together, it made good noise.
Amanda
No, nothing, guys. It's nothing.
Jeff
Pass it.
Shane
That was a nice light.
Amanda
Really good catch. I thought that this could sound like a helicopter. No, it can't. It actually all. That's the thing with Foley artists is, like, you think something's going to work, and then you go, that's not right. At all.
Shane
That's why it's a craft. You have to, like, learn what makes what noise?
Jeff
Wildlife. Because they just must be out and just catch a noise back.
Shane
Whoa. What was 100%.
Amanda
This one was sick. That's probably the only good thing that was.
Jeff
You nailed that.
Shane
That was perfect.
Jeff
That. That was awesome.
Shane
That sounded incredible when you did that.
Jeff
Loved that shit.
Amanda
Thanks, guys.
Shane
Is this. Is this something of porcelain nature?
Amanda
Oh, I didn't even touch that.
Shane
I.
Amanda
Being a Foley artist is hard.
Jeff
What. What's. What's that?
Shane
One of my favorite. What happened to my throat? One of my favorite noises.
Amanda
There's nothing like swimming without a life raft than doing Foley. I'm sorry. On the spot.
Shane
So Foley artists actually have the time to choose what they want.
Jeff
They have, like, they have a warehouse.
Amanda
No, we're making this hard. I don't think any Foley artist just sits there with a bunch of toys
Shane
and figures out what to do at the moment. This is live, so I have a. A ceramic thing here. And this is. Has nothing to do with Foley. This is just a sounds idea.
Amanda
Oh, yeah. Do a sounds idea.
Shane
I. There was a little judgment in that.
Amanda
Oh, no, not at all. No. Genuinely.
Shane
Okay. Remember what we learned. We let them.
Amanda
What's unfortunate is that was me genuinely excited. So now I don't know the difference.
Jeff
No. And then you fucked up forever.
Amanda
I'm lost in the abyss. Okay, we're done. Go, please.
Shane
Okay. I just love the sound of a ceramic lid leaving a ceramic thing.
Jeff
Oh.
Shane
I might not be able to get it the first time, but I'll go that when I get it right.
Jeff
Okay, that's good.
Shane
That, like. Ooh. Okay, I gotta stop. I'm gonna come.
Amanda
That's okay. Now we're doing asmr. I will say I did watch ASMR videos.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And my favorite was like. What was like the crunchy soaps.
Shane
Yes.
Amanda
Oh, my God. Soaps.
Shane
There's one soap that gets me. And it's when they go. They like pop it, crunch it, and
Amanda
they have sparkles in. In the middle. I've seen that. Or they cut the soap.
Shane
Yeah. And they're pre sliced.
Jeff
See, that stuff doesn't get me as much.
Shane
You get asmr from what I've mentioned
Jeff
that I don't know if I think I sometimes get the, like. Because it's like the. It's the response.
Shane
Right. And it's not an audio thing.
Jeff
It's just have to be an audio response or audio thing specifically. But I get it from the. From the doctor stuff.
Amanda
Doctor Stuff.
Jeff
Doctor stuff, which I guess are based in real, like, things where it's like, they'll do the. They'll do that. Okay. We have a. It'll be a person with their eyes closed and be like, okay, we have a. Like, a sharp, like, roller thing. And then like a feather. It's like, tell us if it's sharp or dull, and they'll. They'll roll like the sharp is happening.
Shane
Or you're watching a video.
Amanda
Why don't I know what this is?
Shane
I've never heard of this.
Jeff
I don't like the ones where they're, like. At the camera, they're like, okay, so
Amanda
we're gonna do this. I'm like, I kind of like it,
Jeff
but I like what I'm watching, like, a doctor exam happening where they're like, okay, we're gonna test out some things here. And for some reason, that captivates me.
Amanda
Whoa.
Jeff
And when I. I looked back, and I was like, oh. And I would go to the doctor. If I go to the doctor and they. They check your breathing, where they put
Shane
the cold circle on your back. Yeah.
Jeff
That I get, like, kind of ASMR response because I'm just like, okay. Like, this is. I don't know what it is. I cannot explain it. But sounds and stuff don't necessarily do it.
Amanda
You, like, touch, like, sensory stuff, but it's like.
Jeff
But I'm not. I don't have to. Like, if I'm watching it happen, it almost is fine. I think it's more the procedure of, like. Okay. It's a thing where you have no choice but to kind of, like, sit there and.
Amanda
Do you want to get surgery?
Jeff
No, that sounds awful. And most doctor things are awful, but.
Shane
Right.
Jeff
But it's like, the specific ones that aren't painful, where it's just kind of like, okay, we're just testing a thing.
Shane
Yeah.
Jeff
And, like, I'd say. I don't think this gave me a response, but when I went and got my eyes tested, and they're just kind of like, okay, now tell us what you're seeing here. Okay, now just tell us what you're seeing here. Like that. It's kind of a relaxing zone.
Shane
It is meditative because it's kind of.
Jeff
I think it's meditative for me. I don't know if it's.
Amanda
That an R. I don't know if I like it. I.
Shane
What gives you meditation in that way? What's. What's your physical ASMR experience?
Amanda
Honestly, seeing. Seeing things get organized and cleaned.
Jeff
That's A.
Amanda
And then also, Yeah, I love things getting like, hey, see this dirty thing? I'm gonna clean it.
Jeff
I'm like, oh, it's a different response when they, like, shave off a horse's hoof.
Amanda
Okay.
Jeff
Really, Shane, I can't.
Shane
No.
Amanda
All I'm thinking about is this horse and why do they. And I feel bad and is he gonna get kicked?
Shane
And I keep going. So that's like a big fingernail, so don't be grossed out.
Jeff
But then.
Shane
But then it's not a fingernail at some point, just like your fingernail. So where does it stop? And then there's like, goopy.
Jeff
I don't want the horse's relief. I'm like, oh, thank God.
Amanda
I don't want to see someone clean out their ears. No, thank you.
Jeff
I don't like that.
Amanda
But I like. I love soap being cut. I love watching people go, I tried this new thing in my shower and watching them, like, do this whole new shower cleaning situation.
Shane
Oh, you. As you watch cleaning videos too.
Amanda
I love cleaning videos. And I love literally when people have, like, gorgeous long ass nails that are, like, incredible and they make, like, a bunch of sparkly things and then they squeeze the sparkly things with their nails. Like slime.
Jeff
Yeah, the slime stuff. I'm not into the slime stuff.
Amanda
Obsessed.
Shane
But that's more of like a visual. Is that an audio or a visual?
Amanda
That's a visual thing. Audio. Weirdly. There was this one girl who did asmr and she always had incredible makeup on, and she did, like, her lip gloss. And I was like, I'm so into that. It was like. And then she'd be like. And she goes. And also watching people do their makeup, like, really well. I'm so into it.
Jeff
That's.
Shane
I used to be huge into that. Yeah.
Jeff
Yeah. It's a huge community. I love around a long time, and it just. It stays as big. There's a guy. Let me grab some. Some things there. There is a guy. There's a weird type of ASMR that I think is a sound thing, but there's also, like. I think the. The correlation for me is that there's kind of a purpose to it. Like, there has to be something kind of happening that. And there's a guy who goes around and he checks. He inspects home for damaged wood. So he has, like, he has this, like, metal, like, kind of like a big nail thing. And he goes around houses and he taps on wood and he finds, like, where there's damaged wood so it'll poke A hole in it. So he'll be going around a house and he'll just be like. He'll be like. And he'll just be like tapping around window sills, tapping around the home. And then occasionally it'll like crunch in.
Amanda
Oh.
Jeff
And he'll put a little flag in there of like. Okay, like this.
Shane
What Damage it.
Amanda
Oh, so you like, like purpose filled sound.
Jeff
There's kind of like a purpose. Like, that's stuff I'm like, oh, they're. They're testing.
Amanda
You're like a mission.
Jeff
Yeah. I'm like, there's so do you with your cleaning.
Shane
But the soap is a waste. But that's.
Amanda
The soap is a waste. But I do like when people have, like gorgeous nails and they do like. I love watching people do intense makeup also.
Shane
Oh.
Amanda
Because it's like. And they use all their colors and they're like this color. And you're just like, oh, yeah, yeah.
Shane
And both of you know what wood soup is, right?
Amanda
Yeah, I love wood soup.
Jeff
Wood soup.
Amanda
You've never had wood soup.
Shane
I'm not going to be able to replicate it exactly because there needs to be water, but.
Jeff
Oh, I have.
Amanda
I never thought to take the balls out of the bag.
Shane
The world is yours, Amanda. Yeah, I don't think the world is yours.
Jeff
Take your balls out of the bag.
Amanda
Take your balls out of the bag.
Shane
So I'm a big fan of big balls.
Jeff
Good.
Shane
And wood soup.
Amanda
Good.
Shane
Big. I just love hearing big.
Jeff
Really small.
Shane
Really short. Big fan of big. Big balls.
Amanda
Good.
Shane
In my woods.
Amanda
I hope so.
Shane
And so this is little balls. Because the big balls go the kind. Well, maybe I can probably do it like, they're really like, almost like when
Amanda
you play pool, when those balls.
Shane
This is too light.
Amanda
When those balls hit.
Jeff
I know what you're talking about. Big wooden balls.
Shane
Okay. I think I might be able to replicate. I'll pick that up. No, not quite.
Jeff
But anyway, wood sounds I like a lot.
Shane
I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try and do a.
Amanda
It's almost. They almost feel like kind of soft.
Shane
Hi, and welcome to Tommy's Woods. Okay, I can't get the microphone right. Welcome to Tommy's Wood Soup adventure. I'm Tommy, and today we'll. The first five ideas I had were crazy things to say. So I'm just going to do the wood soup.
Amanda
Oh, good.
Jeff
Would it be better if it was in a wooden bowl?
Shane
It would be better if it's. If it was in a wooden bowl. And it would be better if there was water in it.
Amanda
Do you know what this is reminding me of? The Korean spa when you go in the clay room.
Jeff
Yeah, I love the clay.
Amanda
Oh, my God, the sound. And that room is my favorite room because you just go in and you're like, I'm on a bunch of little balls.
Shane
Yeah, I'm on a bunch of little balls for you.
Jeff
No, I think wood sounds are. Are probably my favorite sounds. Like, just any form of, like.
Shane
That's nice.
Amanda
Oh, that's nice.
Shane
A little chalkboard moment.
Amanda
You're, like, writing in the olden times.
Jeff
That could. That could also give me asmr Maybe. As if it's just like. It's like. All right. And tell us what you're feeling. Okay, so.
Shane
Okay.
Jeff
And we're gonna measure your forehead here and. Okay. Got that measurement.
Amanda
He likes missions.
Shane
Big forehead.
Amanda
He likes missions.
Jeff
We're still measuring your forehead.
Amanda
He likes missions.
Jeff
Miles wide. And we're writing that down,
Shane
unfortunately.
Amanda
That actually sounds really good.
Jeff
Yeah.
Shane
My brain is not big, but my forehead is wide.
Jeff
My forehead is wide.
Amanda
You guys have really good French accents, first of all.
Shane
Really?
Amanda
I actually think we, like, push.
Shane
I got a little too crazy in it.
Jeff
I would like for a few French fans to. To, like, say, I. I know that the mine wasn't good, but can they say if it got better throughout the scene?
Amanda
I wasn't paying attention because I was having, like, a small mental breakdown over here. But everything was. Sounded good on my.
Shane
Sounded good.
Amanda
It sounded good.
Jeff
I. You know, I think forever ago, I said, like, I don't think we have any French fans. And we had some comments of, like, oh, I'm French. And I. But I'm saying, like, I'm French, and I don't, like, live people who live.
Shane
Yeah, we actually have French haters.
Jeff
We only have French haters.
Amanda
This is not good.
Jeff
I watch. I do not.
Amanda
Like, I don't know what you guys talk about, but it's nothing. Why?
Shane
It's funny.
Jeff
Sometimes I think I have a hard time imagining someone living in France and finding anything we do amusing, and I don't know why that is.
Amanda
I do kind of agree with you because they seem like. Yeah.

Jeff
Okay, great. Here, I'm just gonna grab.
Amanda
These cars are flying.

All right, I'm gonna take the back door.
Amanda
We added some wooden doors.
Jeff
Yeah, we added doors on this. It makes it lighter.
Amanda
Okay, Let me. Let me. Let me. Let me tighten the wheels.
Shane
Those are the tightest wheels I ever heard.
Jeff
Yeah, those wheels are tight.
Amanda
Those are tight.
Shane
All right, boys, I'm gonna be off one more time. Something going on between you two, I feel like there's maybe a breakout going on.
Jeff
Look, Jeff, Jeff, I. I gotta be honest here.
Amanda
Yeah.
Jeff
I'm gonna dribble this basketball while I'm talking to you.
Amanda
Let me take my pants off again.
Jeff
Look.
Amanda
Oh, God, they're stuck on.
Jeff
Keeping your pants on, Jeff.
Amanda
Stuck on my penis, John.
Jeff
I can't do this anymore, Jeff.
Amanda
Are you serious?
Jeff
I. I just feel like you don't let me breathe.
Amanda
Why?
Jeff
I feel like you don't let me go on my own path sometimes.
Amanda
Oh, is this because I moved in and I told you to change up your bedroom because it was ugly?
Jeff
No, it was. And it was. I liked my bedroom, okay?
Amanda
You had movie posters everywhere.
Jeff
There Will Be Blood is a good movie. It's my favorite movie.
Amanda
Only Toxic Men say that.
Jeff
That's. It's a great movie, Mike.
Amanda
Daniel Day Lewis is crazy in that movie.
Jeff
Yeah, exactly.
Amanda
And that's your favorite?
Jeff
Yeah.
Amanda
Oh.
Jeff
Would it be better if it was Boogie Nights?
Amanda
Boogie Nights is awesome.
Jeff
The master or. Or whatever.
Amanda
This is all you do. All you do is compare what I like compared to.
Shane
All right, Everything's falling apart. I need the most. I've got the I ever had on this car. Quick. I'm losing the race, boys. They're zipping past.
Amanda
Let me open the trunk real quick.
Shane
Oh, good. Your mind. Oh, everything looking good in the trunk?
Amanda
Everything looks good.
Shane
All right, body's still there. All right, great.
Amanda
Body still there.
Shane
All right.
Jeff
All right, listen, I motorboated the tires.
Amanda
Let me just get the rims back on.
Jeff
Yeah, get those rims back on.
Shane
Clank them on. Clank them on. All right, I'm off. And whatever you've got going on, you better wrap that up quick.
Jeff
We're wrapping it up.
Shane
You better wrap that up quick, because I cannot.
Jeff
Do not crash out there.
Shane
All right, I'm going. I'll see you all later, boys.
Amanda
All right.
Jeff
Jeff, I can't do this.
Amanda
Are you breaking up with me?
Jeff
I'm breaking up with you.
Amanda
Fine. I'm breaking up with you, too.
Jeff
You can't do that. I've already broken up.
Amanda
We're done. And I'm gonna move out my stuff tonight because you know what?
Jeff
I already moved your shit out. Street.
Amanda
Are you serious? You're clapping? Really?
Jeff
I'm dribbling a basketball, but yeah, no.
Amanda
Looks to me like you're clapping. Let me get my jacket on. And you know what? You can handle the car by yourself.
Jeff
Fine.
Amanda
Jackets on, shirts buttoned.
Jeff
Good.
Amanda
You know what? I'm fucking out of here.
Jeff
Good. Why don't you. Why don't you clonk away?
Amanda
I will. My tin shoes. My tin shoes that I got on Instagram.
Jeff
Yeah.
Amanda
Were the wrong choice.
Jeff
Embarrassing. You're. You're embarrassing. Yeah, walk. You. Yeah, walk away.
Amanda
You.
Jeff
Yeah, walk away. I don't want to talk to you anymore.
Shane
And that was a smosh moment. Thank you for listening to our really cool scenes.
Jeff
Well, I think this episode has.
Amanda
I think this episode has been killing.
Jeff
It's been exactly what we thought it
Shane
would be when we threw this out a month ago. It's been so fun. I think we need to make this a weekly other thing.
Jeff
I think this should be the only thing we do every episode.
Amanda
We should start with Foley.
Jeff
I don't think fans want to know anything more about us. I don't think they want to hear us talk.
Shane
I think they just. We just want some sounds. Yeah, we just want Some sounds.
Amanda
This was really helpful because it really is a zipper.
Jeff
I had known. Yeah. You were the sound. That.
Amanda
That really was really confident. And I. I did that bit a
Jeff
lot to know, like, what the sound is gonna be.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Yeah.
Jeff
I wish I'd had that when I did the robot who was using the urinal earlier. Oh, yeah. I could have had a zipper. That was fun, but I had to make it up on my own.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Yeah.
Jeff
I really think those did sound like F1 cars flying around.
Shane
They really did. It was really cool.
Amanda
That was really cool.
Shane
It was really great.
Jeff
Oh. So what's going on?
Amanda
I already told you guys, my deep.
Jeff
You really did go in.
Amanda
I went in. You know why? Because life's too effing short.
Shane
Yeah, it is too short. It is.
Jeff
Wait, we mentioned this. With a little bit of time we have left. We mentioned this, and I don't think we've talked about it on the podcast.
Amanda
I think we've only been going for 15 minutes.
Shane
It hasn't been four hours.
Jeff
Selena flashed up the sign. It's like 10 minutes.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
What were you gonna say?
Jeff
We did a clowning workshop.
Shane
Yes. We did a clown workshop.
Jeff
And we've not talked about it, but
Shane
it was the best thing.
Amanda
We have not talked about it. And my plan is to do it again.
Shane
Good.
Jeff
Fantastic.
Amanda
Because I. It was so amazing to not use words to just be completely in our bodies. And also, the thing with clowning is the audience is everything.
Shane
Yes.
Amanda
The audience makes you. Helps you decide or doesn't help you decide. It forces you to decide what to do next.
Jeff
Yeah.
Shane
100.
Amanda
And what I love so much is, like, being like, do we like this? No.
Jeff
So when you love.
Amanda
When you find something that you like.
Shane
Yes.
Amanda
And then you try to, like, oh, I'm getting confident. I like this. And then you expand on it, and then it's like, well, we didn't like that.
Shane
Right. Oh, we don't like it anymore.
Amanda
What were you guys really. What were you guys laughing at the most? I. I like as an audience member the most.
Jeff
The more, like, raw and, like.
Shane
Yeah, it was the raw stuff.
Jeff
The less it was, like, a person was genuine about it.
Shane
The genuineness.
Amanda
It was the people getting surprised by themselves.
Shane
For me. 100.
Jeff
Yeah. And I will say, like, I think everybody. It's like, you have to move past, like, the cringe because it's about failure. And I think everybody in that workshop, I saw, like. Like the cringiest moments, but also some of the funniest moments from everyone that I ever seen.
Amanda
Yes.
Shane
Yeah.
Jeff
And it was amazing to watch, because
Amanda
stripping down those cringy moments, you get to, like, gold and it. And then you go, God, this is this person's essence.
Shane
Yes.
Amanda
Yeah, completely.
Jeff
It was amazing.
Shane
It was just really nice to connect with, like, the foundation of funny, you know, because, like, you can get really heady with, like, writing and words and stuff, but to just really be like, right timing.
Jeff
Yeah.
Shane
Goofy. Go.
Amanda
What do you. What are you.
Jeff
Laughing.
Amanda
Foundation.
Shane
Yes.
Amanda
I mean, the Three Stooges, that show way back in the day.
Shane
Oh, yeah.
Amanda
They weren't saying anything. Yeah. And I think some people went in thinking, like, oh, clowning. Is clowning performative?
Jeff
Yeah.
Amanda
But I loved about the classes. It was like, no.
Jeff
There was no props, no nothing.
Amanda
It's actually not really performative. It's you. It's you living in the moment and reacting to the audience, either laughing.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Or having, like, a response.
Shane
Yeah. We did this really cool exercise. I feel like when I was telling people about this, they really liked hearing this. We did this exercise where there was, like, three of us at a time, and we would go on stage and it would be like, okay, do something to try and make us laugh. And then we would just try to do something. No words. Make a choice. Go crazy. And then we would try and find. So we'd get a little laugh. We get a laugh or two. And then our coach would be like, okay, so how do you feel about it? And you go, I don't know. And she goes, okay, try something else. And we keep trying. So until we find a bit, and then we swap out with other people. They do the same thing. And then you gotta come back and you're like, okay, well, I'm gonna do the bit again, because that's what worked. But then it only works once. Yeah. And then you gotta go, how am I gonna evolve this bit? Or do I just change the bit entirely? And you're just truly drowning out there.
Amanda
Drowning.
Shane
And you're just forced to try. And I loved the, like, okay, so we don't like it.
Amanda
We're not liking it.
Shane
We don't like it. And you go.
Jeff
Is kind of therapeutic.
Shane
It is.
Jeff
Because by the end of class, we didn't care to if we heard that or not.
Amanda
Well, I'm like, good. I know now. I know.
Shane
Like it. Yeah.
Jeff
Yeah.
Amanda
Because you can feel it.
Shane
100.
Amanda
And that's why when you have, like, a performed written performance and you're like, oh, they're not liking it.
Shane
Well, I'm locked in.
Amanda
I'm locked in. But when you do an improv scene. I think we ignore that.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
We like, well, well, well. Them, the audience. And it's like, why would you.
Shane
Right.
Jeff
Yeah.
Shane
100.
Amanda
I loved that because then it made me dig really deep into, like, you use all your reserves to make people laugh, and then you go, oh, wait, I have nothing. Oh, what can I get out of nothing?
Shane
But then you find something, and then
Amanda
you watch, like, your fellow smosh. People search for that, too. And then you watch them. It's honestly, it's really cool human experience to watch them go, I have nothing.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And you're like, you always have something.
Shane
Everyone's a baby again.
Amanda
Everyone's a baby.
Shane
It was really nice.
Amanda
It was so fun.
Jeff
So fun. And this was fun.
Amanda
Honestly, I had the best time. This also gave me a similar experience.
Jeff
Yes.
Shane
This was great. I felt very locked in today.
Amanda
Foley is very hard.
Jeff
Yes.
Shane
And if there are any foley artists out there that want me to be their protege or whatever, they're like, person, I will disappear off the planet.
Amanda
I actually think you'd be so.
Shane
So it is. It is a dream of. It was like there was, like, you know, actor, comedian, and then Foley artist. Like, that was. I mean, not really, but, like, that's what. It's so cool to me.
Jeff
It's one of those jobs that you see it and you're like, oh, right. There are so many types of jobs that we don't think about.
Shane
Yes.
Amanda
Yep.
Jeff
Like, you're a guy who makes sounds.
Amanda
Yep.
Shane
And all.
Amanda
You'd be so good at it.
Jeff
When it. When it's them with, like, a box of, like, dirt and them doing the step, they have to do that all day.
Shane
You got to get the steps right.
Jeff
Yeah.
Shane
It's got to be, you know, heavy enough.
Jeff
Get up to the movie.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And those heels are forever yours. I think they said you could take them.
Jeff
They look like they would fit.
Amanda
No.
Jeff
Anyways, thank you both. Thank you, Tommy.
Shane
You're welcome.
Amanda
Thank you, Tommy.
Shane
Mighty. Mind if I get out of here?
Jeff
No. Okay. I think you should.
Shane
All right.
Amanda
All right. Bye, Tommy.
Shane
Bye. It's a long way. Hold on. Got hollow floors here.
Jeff
I know. We're on the fifth floor.
Amanda
There are things buried underneath it.
Shane
Guys, why'd you put a hopscotch at the exit 10?
Jeff
Bye.
Shane
Bye.
Jeff
Bye.
In this creative and playful episode, Smosh hosts Shayne Topp (“short”), Amanda Lehan-Canto (“tall”), and guest Tommy (aka "Jeff") dive headfirst into the quirky world of Foley art—the craft of making sound effects for movies and shows using everyday objects. The team experiments live, attempting to create convincing (and often hilarious) soundscapes, all while reflecting on the surprising art and challenges of Foley, dropping plenty of self-aware comedy, and sharing some earnest life realizations along the way.
"We want to try that. Let's try it."
"And we do the stupidest, worst version of it."
– Amanda & Shane [02:36-02:44]
"Everything's a salad, right?"
– Jeff [03:55]
"What is this actually used for?" – Amanda [13:27]
"That's for when you want to grab a ball the size of an acorn." – Shane [13:29]
"If you've got a billion notes to play, you can get one wrong. But if you've got one note to play…" – Shane [09:58]
"Why is it so hard to just let him flop and have people...go, this isn’t really the best time, but it’s okay. Why can't I let that happen?" – Amanda [20:24]
"We need more clowning classes..." – Shane [20:33]
"Where’s the glasses area?"
– Shane, after being “revived” [27:46]
"Thank you for hiring me. I am not the most coordinated." – Shane [37:34] "Don't worry. I brought the Elmer's glue to put it back afterward." – Shane [38:45]
"...You think something's going to work, and then you go, that's not right. At all." – Amanda [44:05]
"That's why it's a craft. You have to learn what makes what noise." – Shane [44:13]
"It was so amazing to not use words, to just be completely in our bodies." – Amanda [64:33] "You have to move past, like, the cringe because it’s about failure…some of the funniest moments I’ve ever seen." – Jeff [65:27]
The episode is classic Smosh: chaotic, improvisational, honest, gently self-deprecating, and full of camaraderie. The improvisation is meta—constantly commenting on itself and playfully acknowledging both its failures and flashes of comic genius.
This episode balances zany comedic bits and meta-commentary on the creative process. The team’s play with Foley art demonstrates just how challenging and nuanced sound design is—leading to a greater respect for behind-the-scenes crafts. Interlaced throughout are real moments of introspection, discussions of letting go of control, and an open embrace of creative risk. The episode closes with a shared sense of growth, joy, and a longing to keep playing and failing forward, together.
For those who haven't listened: Expect a ride through slapstick, heartfelt inside jokes, wild improv, crash courses in vulnerability, and a genuine celebration (and respectful failure) at the weird-but-essential art of making sounds out of nothing.
