Transcript

[Shane Top]

Welcome back to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane with a mustache.

[Amanda Leighton]

And I'm Amanda with a mustache as well. And this is our guest. Just kidding. It's clean. This is our guest, Olivia. Hello. Hello.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm Olivia with a mustache.

[Shane Top]

She actually does have a mustache.

[Olivia Sui]

Right. That's not where you think it is.

[Amanda Leighton]

No.

[Shane Top]

Okay, here we go. Olivia.

[Amanda Leighton]

What is it?

[Olivia Sui]

Okay, I will tell you. I'll show you, actually.

[Shane Top]

So anyways, Olivia, thanks for being here.

[Olivia Sui]

Thank you for having me. It is freezing in here.

[Shane Top]

It is very cold.

[Amanda Leighton]

But, Olivia, you know, you've already set us up for success. You have an amazing sense of humor.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, my God. I mean, who here doesn't, right? That's why we got hired.

[Shane Top]

That's true. That's true. But I think, Olivia, you have the most insane sense of humor I think I've ever known.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. How would you describe your sense of humor?

[Shane Top]

We also just turned off the ac, so it's going to get warmer. Wow. For me, we did that for you.

[Olivia Sui]

We.

[Shane Top]

We have that power here.

[Olivia Sui]

That usually doesn't happen for me here.

[Shane Top]

Well. Well, things are different.

[Olivia Sui]

Things are.

[Shane Top]

Smash mouth.

[Olivia Sui]

Okay. My sense of humor. Wacky, weird.

[Shane Top]

I agree.

[Olivia Sui]

And sort of, um. Random.

[Shane Top]

Sort of random.

[Olivia Sui]

Like, like, my. My sense of humor is like a really weird, dark, fucking. Sorry. Can I curse?

[Shane Top]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

Gross.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, you can curse a gross, wet alleyway.

[Amanda Leighton]

Your sense of humor is a gross, wet alleyway. I kind of love that. Why is it wet?

[Shane Top]

Why is it wet?

[Olivia Sui]

Cause I hate wetness.

[Shane Top]

So your sense of humor is something that you hate? Yeah, it's more of a curse.

[Olivia Sui]

It's a curse. Why was I given this weird. I actually know why. Like, my sense of humor is this way. My uncle, my mom's twin, is so funny. And him and I, when he just. He just kind of raised me when my parents were busy, and I would just, like, go to parks with him, go to KFC with him, and he just, like, did everything with me, and he was. He's like the weirdest, funniest, goofiest guy.

[Amanda Leighton]

I love that.

[Olivia Sui]

And I think that's. I've adapted his humor.

[Shane Top]

Oh, well, that's.

[Amanda Leighton]

You still hang out with him.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. Yeah. Because my parents aren't very funny. Like, my mom doesn't understand sarcasm. My dad doesn't get it either. They're very. Just, like, serious people.

[Shane Top]

Okay. I feel like your parents being serious also lends to you being silly.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Because I feel like the mo. I feel like. Have you ever had friends who are very serious people and then you Meet their parents. And their parents are goofballs.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

I feel like it's almost sort of rebellion.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

Making up for something.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

But your uncle, what is he like?

[Olivia Sui]

Well, my uncle is also very serious, but the way he delivers things is what's so funny.

[Shane Top]

Is he trying to be funny?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah.

[Olivia Sui]

No, he's very dry.

[Shane Top]

Oh.

[Olivia Sui]

He has a very dry sense of humor. He's almost, like, expressionless. But then he'll deliver the funniest jokes. And. Yeah, we still. We hang out. He's my uncle. He's the best. And, like, when we have holiday family gatherings, my mom is always making, like, the most beautiful, extravagant, like, dinners and stuff. And he would just troll my mom. Like, he would get, like, jelly beans and put it in all the wines.

[Shane Top]

Oh, fun.

[Olivia Sui]

And then there would be, like, that is you. Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

My way.

[Olivia Sui]

My uncle is a troller.

[Shane Top]

Is he constantly pranking people?

[Olivia Sui]

My mom, just.

[Shane Top]

Your mom?

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Does your mom. And your mom never laughs at it?

[Olivia Sui]

She's just annoyed. She's like, oh, well, I guess there's jelly beans and wine now.

[Shane Top]

I like to think that his only joke is putting jelly beans in everything.

[Olivia Sui]

Or just, like. Just, like, doing little things. Like, he'll murmur little things, too, and, like, oh, I'll hear it. Like, just like the. Like, he, like, makes fun of situations or, like, he always has a hot take, but he says it really quietly so, like, I hear it. Or like, someone else near him hears it. Yeah. My uncle's just the best.

[Shane Top]

He'll be like, okay, we're gonna go see Star Wars. And you just hear him in the corner just like, I hate Star Wars.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Shane Top]

Star wars is really stupid. What'd you say?

[Amanda Leighton]

I love that.

[Shane Top]

Nothing.

[Amanda Leighton]

So does. But does he know he's funny?

[Olivia Sui]

I think so. I mean, we all laugh at this point.

[Amanda Leighton]

At this point, he knows he's funny.

[Shane Top]

Do you know you're funny?

[Olivia Sui]

No.

[Shane Top]

You don't think you're funny?

[Olivia Sui]

No, I think I learned to be funny in a way. Cause. Okay, so I like to get. I get obsessed with things, and I'm like, oh, I have to understand it. And so that's why I took a bunch of UCB classes. Groundlings classes. Cause I was like, I really want to just, like, be like you guys. You know, like, you guys make people laugh. Like, I think I'm. I have a very weird take on humor. And I don't know. I don't know if I was, like, born out of the womb and I'm like, ah, I'm funny.

[Shane Top]

You know, See, I would argue. I think you are naturally so funny. And the reason I think that is because a lot of your jokes, at least back in the day. Cause yeah, when you want to, you can make a perfectly structured joke. But I'm talking about like when you've made me laugh the hardest is when you say or do something and I don't know where you came up with it or how you got to it.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

You're like, that's my favorite shit.

[Amanda Leighton]

You're like peanut butter. You're like, hello.

[Olivia Sui]

You just say it's like weird. Like just my presence, I guess, is.

[Shane Top]

Just some of your try not to laugh jokes over are. Are truly my favorites. And I'm not kidding because they don't make any sense.

[Olivia Sui]

Right.

[Shane Top]

But they also do if you think about takes like, it'll be like weeks later and I'll be in bed and I'll wake up at 3am and I'll be like, I got it.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. That's why I love. Because I unplanned my TNT bits a lot too. And when you and I are back there and then we just do bits together, it's so fun because I think it's like a great balance of like. I. I don't even know if I have an idea either. Either way, we just go into like the wild together. And you're so free.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, thank you.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shane Top]

I have a hot take about. Try not to laugh Hot take that. I think sometimes the quote unquote best episodes, the episodes where we bring it and nail it and we do perfectly structured like sketch jokes are sometimes my least favorites.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

I think the best Try not to laughs. And frankly, the best videos that we make at Smosh are the ones where we break the rules.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane Top]

And we do something that's just so counter to the logic.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

That then becomes the memorable moment. And it's a risk it may fall flat, but usually it doesn't. And usually it's whether the joke lands or not. Even it's still more fun to watch.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh yeah.

[Olivia Sui]

I never really. I mean, I'm sure the audience feel this. Feels this way too. I guess. I have never thought about landing a joke.

[Shane Top]

When you're going out there at Try not to laugh. What are you. What's your idea?

[Olivia Sui]

I think I really love to watch funny situations. Awkward interactions, funny situations. And that's what I just plan to do. And it falls flat most of the time. But sometimes when it's a banger, it's a banger. And it lives on Forever.

[Amanda Leighton]

But the thing is, if it does, if you think in your mind, it falls flat. That's not what's happening with us. Because when you think it falls flat to me, you've given it enough sign that we're all like, yeah, that's it. And then we naturally.

[Shane Top]

You never run. You never run.

[Amanda Leighton]

You commit.

[Shane Top]

You commit fully. Do you think you could do man on the street type? You have done some. I've seen you on your Instagram. Do you think you could really do, like, the Sasha Baron Cohen thing and really embrace an awkward situation with a stranger?

[Olivia Sui]

I guess I would have to try it. I don't know. I'm not sure. Cause I do get giddy. Yeah, I break. I break all the time.

[Amanda Leighton]

She does.

[Olivia Sui]

I know. Amanda and I perform.

[Amanda Leighton]

So do I.

[Olivia Sui]

Together. And I'm always breaking. Always.

[Shane Top]

Well.

[Amanda Leighton]

Well, I feel like I look in your eyes when we're on stage and we're performing, because we did just have a show. And I look, and you're, like.

[Olivia Sui]

Just.

[Amanda Leighton]

Looking at me, and then you're like, I know what you're thinking. I swear to God. You're not even saying anything, but your eyes are like, I know what you're gonna do. And then I'm like, olivia. And then I start laughing, and then you start breaking. And when she breaks, she just turns her back away from the audience and looks at me.

[Olivia Sui]

I know. I'm always like this.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, you're a silent laugher.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Except for you'll sometimes let out like, a screech. But then you.

[Olivia Sui]

You do the best impression of me.

[Shane Top]

Oh, I did.

[Amanda Leighton]

What is it?

[Shane Top]

I'm trying to remember. Just like, I'm Olivia. Yeah. Well, I can do the impression if I do my favorite story of Olivia, which is we were at a grocery store, and just you and Olivia. No, just me and him.

[Amanda Leighton]

That's bizarre.

[Shane Top]

We were on our way to Smosh Summer Games. We were filming out an hour away. So all of us stop at a grocery store, and everyone's just all around scattered about. And Olivia and I are both looking at. I think it was, like, drinks, like, pressed juices. And I'm standing there. Olivia's to my left, and suddenly this woman walks up next to me, a woman my age. And she goes, hey, I like your shirt. And I go, oh, thank you. And she goes, oh, cool. Pants too. And I'm like, oh, thanks so much. And then she walks away, and I kind of go back to looking at the juices because I'm an idiot. And then this woman is not far Away from me. She's maybe 10ft, 15ft, walking away. And Olivia turns to me and she just goes, she wants to fuck you.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane Top]

And I first laughed, and then I went, really?

[Amanda Leighton]

She does. It's like, how did you miss that?

[Shane Top]

No.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, nice.

[Shane Top]

That's a whole other conversation of me being like, no, she just likes my shirt. She's not saying anything.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, we should make that another.

[Shane Top]

That's another video about how I was completely blind. Oh, my God.

[Amanda Leighton]

But that's. That's also another characteristic of humor. Like, I love when people miss cues. Do you miss cues? I don't. I think.

[Shane Top]

I think you're actually incredibly, incredibly socially aware. I think you play into the bit of not.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. You see maybe the cue, and you're.

[Olivia Sui]

Like, I think I'm so aware all the time. Like.

[Shane Top]

Like, you're overly aware.

[Olivia Sui]

Like, I'll have a conversation with you, and I can. I'm like. I'm, like, watching everybody.

[Shane Top]

You have, like, spidey sense.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. And I think that's just, like, maybe the way I was raised, like, being always aware of situations and, like, you know, I think I'm too aware sometimes.

[Shane Top]

Interesting.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, I hear that. I definitely feel the same way about myself, too, sometimes. And it's very hard to stay present. It's very hard to stay present when you are aware of everything going on. And then you can't actually. Especially in improv, then you can't actually hear, like, the magical words that. Cause if you. The best part about improv, when you're really in it, is if your brain is silent and you're so present, your brain literally feeds you the next line.

[Shane Top]

Oh, yeah. You don't have to think.

[Amanda Leighton]

It's amazing. But if you are. I'm very similar to that. If you're, like, aware of your surroundings. That's why I feel like when you and I do break and we just lose it, we don't give a fuck about what people are thinking.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, No, I think it's. I think when I'm on stage with you, it's like, so. It's like this, like, so locked in with you. And I realized this last performance we did, this last show we did, there were moments where I was getting too aware. Right. And then I start looking at you, Angela and Pat, and I'm like, okay, we're back in, you know?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

You need, I think, for people like us and maybe Shane, too, you need those people to be like, mm, mm.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. Like, don't look at everything else. Like, focus on the Thing.

[Amanda Leighton]

Think about the audience.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Yeah. Well, I love that. Speaking of humor, I'm very excited we wanted to do this again a few episodes back. As some of you might know, we wrote insanely stupid sketches with Angela.

[Amanda Leighton]

Like rejected sketches.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, sketches. Just don't put any thought into it. Write it as quickly as possible. Do not edit it. Don't look back on it. Yes. So, Olivia, we asked the same of you.

[Olivia Sui]

Yes.

[Shane Top]

And you delivered a sketch for us.

[Olivia Sui]

Well, I've been working on the sketch for a long time.

[Shane Top]

Oh. Oh, this is like legit.

[Olivia Sui]

This is a legit sketch.

[Shane Top]

Oh, great. Okay. Great.

[Amanda Leighton]

Great.

[Shane Top]

Fantastic. Well, we have information for you. We also wrote sketches, but we gave ourselves a prompt.

[Amanda Leighton]

A prompt?

[Shane Top]

Do you want us. We should just say it now?

[Amanda Leighton]

We gave ourselves a prompt. We.

[Olivia Sui]

Wait, wait, wait. I'm not a part of this prompt?

[Shane Top]

No.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, you're very much a part. You're not a part of the prompt.

[Shane Top]

But you're a part of the inspiration.

[Olivia Sui]

No.

[Shane Top]

So we wrote sketches. We attempted to write sketches in your voice. We. We are. Tried to write our best Olivia sketches. Oh, sketches that we think you would write.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yep.

[Shane Top]

So now these are quickly written. Very not edited. So they. And they're not good.

[Amanda Leighton]

No, I actually.

[Olivia Sui]

Wait. That's why it's just one word.

[Shane Top]

I didn't wrote one word on a.

[Olivia Sui]

Piece of paper page number.

[Amanda Leighton]

I didn't give mine a read through it all, but I wrote it in your voice.

[Shane Top]

Yes.

[Amanda Leighton]

I literally pretended I was you and wrote this sketch.

[Shane Top]

Amanda and I will both will read these sketches. We're going to table read them. I want you at. At the end to pick who wrote the sketch that you think you would have written. That's closer to.

[Amanda Leighton]

And then we'll read yours.

[Shane Top]

And then I want to read yours and see, and it's going to be so different.

[Amanda Leighton]

It's going to be like Oscar worthy, like, amazing.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, no, no.

[Amanda Leighton]

This.

[Olivia Sui]

This I wrote in the voice of Ian.

[Shane Top]

Are you dead serious?

[Olivia Sui]

No.

[Shane Top]

Okay. Hey, you had us going first.

[Amanda Leighton]

Look at that. I can't wait. It's another part of your humor. You lie.

[Shane Top]

Who should we read?

[Olivia Sui]

A liar.

[Amanda Leighton]

Who do you want to read for whose sketch in your name do you want to read first?

[Shane Top]

Cause I'm thinking maybe we should save yours for last.

[Amanda Leighton]

I think so.

[Shane Top]

So we could see what a real Olivia sketch is like. But we could read ours first, see our attempts. You could critique it, say what you would have done differently.

[Olivia Sui]

Okay, we could do that.

[Shane Top]

Let's do it. Do you want to go with yours first? Cause you wrote two sketches.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, yeah, let's go yours and then you. And then you again, and then me.

[Amanda Leighton]

I wrote two sketches, but one is in Olivia's voice and one's in Shane's voice.

[Shane Top]

Okay. Oh.

[Amanda Leighton]

So if you wouldn't feel left out, I wrote a sketch in Shane's voice.

[Olivia Sui]

Thank you so much.

[Amanda Leighton]

Regardless, guys, I wrote this very quick, and I purposely did not read them over.

[Shane Top]

Okay. I didn't read mine over either.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm excited. Thank you.

[Amanda Leighton]

Here we go. This sketch is called Lizard.

[Shane Top]

Good. We're off to a good start.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, here's the casting. I will read stage directions or whatever. And you, Olivia, you're playing Lulu.

[Olivia Sui]

Okay?

[Amanda Leighton]

You're playing boyfriend, and I'm playing girlfriend.

[Shane Top]

Okay. Okay, I'm gonna try to not break. I'm gonna try to read this.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm not gonna break. I'm gonna be myself.

[Amanda Leighton]

Staple them.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, yeah. Unstable. Really quick. Here's some asmr, everyone, if you don't break. Okay, Amanda, this is six pages.

[Olivia Sui]

I know. Amanda, shut up.

[Amanda Leighton]

It's only four. It's only half of a four. Okay, guys, I had way too much fun. I actually was like, I could write another sketch.

[Olivia Sui]

I know I was having. Oh, maybe you should write for me.

[Amanda Leighton]

I just was having so much fun.

[Shane Top]

Thunder. Ghostwriter.

[Amanda Leighton]

I don't think this is a good sketch. Okay.

[Shane Top]

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay. This is Livid Lizard. What the fuck? This is Lizard Lulu, a thin, frail, older woman quickly tiptoes up to a couple casually strolling at the Silver Lake reservoir.

[Olivia Sui]

Stop in your tracks right now.

[Amanda Leighton]

The couple abruptly turns around. The girlfriend backs away, a little confused and a little frightened, while the boyfriend takes a lighter approach.

[Shane Top]

What's that now?

[Olivia Sui]

Stop moving your feet, old boy.

[Shane Top]

What?

[Amanda Leighton]

He's 28. He's not old.

[Olivia Sui]

Can't you shove it up, Lady Lala?

[Amanda Leighton]

The girlfriend tugs on the boyfriend's sleeve, signaling him to go. Okay, thank you, but no thank you. The couple turns to go. Lulu, tiptoe hops right between them.

[Olivia Sui]

Wait, I didn't mean to scare you. I just live around the corner. I just wanted to show you both something.

[Shane Top]

Oh, you're local to Silver Lake?

[Olivia Sui]

Yes, sir, old boy.

[Amanda Leighton]

The girlfriend rolls her eyes. Um. Oh, okay. So you're a local. You. You live here?

[Olivia Sui]

Yes, yes, lady. La la la la la la la. La la la la la. That's a good song. I shall sing that at dinner. My name is Lulu.

[Shane Top]

Congrats. This is such a nice neighborhood, Lulu.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, I would love to live here. It's so pretty. Lulu grabs both their hands and kisses the inside of their palms and pulls them to a tree.

[Shane Top]

Shush.

[Olivia Sui]

Look.

[Amanda Leighton]

Uh huh. Yeah. It's a eucalyptus tree. Pretty cool.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm not a deaf big Lady. I want to show you something. Look.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, these nicknames are really. I'm not a fan.

[Shane Top]

I like Big Lady. It's cute. And also, may you let go of my hand now, Lulu.

[Olivia Sui]

Surrender to me. Okay, I will.

[Amanda Leighton]

Lulu lets her hands go.

[Olivia Sui]

Look. Do you see it?

[Amanda Leighton]

The couple is too far in it now, so they decide to just look. I'm looking. And literally only see bark.

[Shane Top]

Ditto, Big lady.

[Amanda Leighton]

Stop.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, look.

[Shane Top]

Look, look, look, look, look.

[Olivia Sui]

Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look.

[Amanda Leighton]

I literally. I literally am.

[Olivia Sui]

There it is. Do you see it? It's a lizard.

[Amanda Leighton]

The couple looks at each other, confused.

[Shane Top]

A lizard.

[Olivia Sui]

A lizard.

[Amanda Leighton]

O.

[Olivia Sui]

Yes, a lizard.

[Amanda Leighton]

The girlfriend looks to the boyfriend and tells him silently with her eyes, let's get the fuck out of here.

[Shane Top]

Very, very cool.

[Amanda Leighton]

Fun.

[Olivia Sui]

Thank you. They are locals too. They are the ones who are lucky. Have a good day. Popeye.

[Amanda Leighton]

Tiptoe skips off and trips. Falls, lays there for a second. Oh my God. Should we help her?

[Shane Top]

Yes. I don't know. I mean, she's wearing ballet slippers in the dirt, so of course she's gonna trip.

[Amanda Leighton]

So true. Lulu rolls over in the dirt and manages to get up and dust herself off. She turns back at them.

[Olivia Sui]

I didn't just fall. That was Mizzard Mirage.

[Amanda Leighton]

The couple nods in agreement and walks away. Lulu yells to them, have a good.

[Olivia Sui]

Day, Papa Smurf and Lady Tickles.

[Amanda Leighton]

Blackout.

[Shane Top]

What?

[Amanda Leighton]

There you go.

[Olivia Sui]

This is how I behave at the reservoir.

[Shane Top]

Yes. Just for anyone who's never been to Silver Lake, this is what people in Silver Lake act like.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. Unhinged.

[Shane Top]

They're just like this.

[Amanda Leighton]

I was writing this and this was making me laugh so hard. And then when I was done, I was like, wow. I think I just tapped into a weird space of Olivia.

[Olivia Sui]

This was so weird.

[Shane Top]

You wrote this last night, right?

[Amanda Leighton]

I wrote this last night.

[Shane Top]

How late?

[Amanda Leighton]

Not late at all.

[Shane Top]

Not too late. Oh, okay.

[Amanda Leighton]

Not late at all.

[Shane Top]

What was going through your mind before you wrote this?

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. How did you get into my head?

[Amanda Leighton]

I thought about Olivia as an old lady.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

An old frail lady with Little ballet slippers walking on the Silver Lake reservoir. I thought about her movements and I thought about Olivia as an older woman. And I thought if she lived by the Silver Lake Reservoir, she would pop out and talk to random strays and be like, look, look, look, a lizard. Look, it's a lizard.

[Shane Top]

Come over here, idiot face.

[Amanda Leighton]

And people are like, cool. And when they say that she's a local, they're like, oh, okay, we trust her. She's a local. It's cool, whatever. And then she's like, they're locals too. They live here too. I know it seems so, but when I read it, also, you read it in a demon voice, which I think is fucking even greater. And maybe it's a horror movie. Yeah, maybe it's a horror movie.

[Shane Top]

Well, maybe it's a horror movie and she's the red herring. And there's actually a really scary thing in the reservoir, and people think it's her, but she's actually completely fake.

[Amanda Leighton]

I thought of it not as Olivia, but as Olivia could play character.

[Olivia Sui]

I am that woman now.

[Shane Top]

That's totally an Olivia character.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, that is totally me. Freaky.

[Shane Top]

And a little bit of me.

[Amanda Leighton]

I'm a little bit weird.

[Shane Top]

Guys, you could definitely just, on the next, try not to laugh. Just go out and do that for Amanda.

[Amanda Leighton]

Look, a lizard.

[Shane Top]

I. It makes me think about how excited I am someday to be a super old man and just mess with people.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, you're not going to do that, Shane.

[Shane Top]

No, I mean. I mean in silly ways like this, not like scaring people. But when I'm so old that I. I physically. You can tell I cannot hurt anyone or do anything. I'm so old. I'm talking 80s. I'm talking. If I make it to 100 years old, I'm gonna tell my grandchildren, be like, wheel me out somewhere and sit me there for like 15 minutes. And any passerby, I'm gonna just be like, I see your future. Just say shit like that. Cause when you're that old, people don't know.

[Amanda Leighton]

That's amazing.

[Olivia Sui]

You're still gonna be strong, Shane.

[Shane Top]

At 100, you're gonna be like old.

[Olivia Sui]

Frail, but your arms are still gonna be bigger.

[Amanda Leighton]

Shane's gonna be like, hello, good to see you.

[Shane Top]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna be like, wheel me out there, I'm gonna say some messed up stuff. And then as soon as you walk by and back. Hey, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to follow you.

[Amanda Leighton]

Nice shirt.

[Shane Top]

Hey, I'm a hundred years old back in my Day.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay. Do you want to read yours?

[Shane Top]

Mine? Okay. So that was pretty weird.

[Amanda Leighton]

If you want to. Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Olivia.

[Amanda Leighton]

What?

[Shane Top]

That. That felt pretty.

[Olivia Sui]

That was really good.

[Shane Top]

You would write that?

[Olivia Sui]

I would. I would write that.

[Amanda Leighton]

Honestly, I have so much fun writing that, and I'm very. It made me feel weird, and I was also like.

[Shane Top]

We can rip these up.

[Olivia Sui]

Wow.

[Shane Top]

Let me think of the casting here. There's a lot of characters. I wrote too many characters. So, Amanda, I'd like you to be groom. Like me to be who? The groom.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, great.

[Shane Top]

The last page is actually a bunch of other ideas that I. That's what I was writing first, trying to brainstorm what I would write, and then this is what I landed on. So, Olivia, can you be the bride? When it comes to bride, can you also play Cindy?

[Olivia Sui]

Yes.

[Shane Top]

And then.

[Amanda Leighton]

So wait, you wrote this or you wrote this in Olivia's voice?

[Shane Top]

I wrote this in Olivia's voice. This is a sketch I think Olivia would write. Olivia, can you also play attendee?

[Olivia Sui]

I would definitely write this sketch, actually.

[Shane Top]

Yeah.

[Olivia Sui]

Font size?

[Shane Top]

Yes, it's. It's a very. It's very, very large font. Yes.

[Amanda Leighton]

It's for someone who has the jitterbug phone, actually.

[Shane Top]

So I'm gonna switch this up. Okay. Olivia, I want you to be attendee.

[Olivia Sui]

Okay.

[Shane Top]

Amanda, I want you to be the groom, and I want you to play Cindy as well.

[Amanda Leighton]

Groom and Cindy.

[Shane Top]

Groom and Cindy.

[Amanda Leighton]

Perfect.

[Shane Top]

And then am I still bride?

[Olivia Sui]

No, am I?

[Shane Top]

You are bride.

[Olivia Sui]

Okay.

[Shane Top]

Your bride and attendee. And then I'll play the rest of the.

[Amanda Leighton]

Perfect.

[Olivia Sui]

This is gonna be so good.

[Shane Top]

I don't think so. Okay, so the name of this sketch is called Stanley Tucci. I have a note here underneath the title saying, note. I wrote this without thinking. Interior, long John Silver's 1980s. A wedding ceremony is underway, with rows of attendees seated. And at the head of the aisle, the groom and officiant, who is also the Long John Silver's cashier, stand patiently awaiting the arrival of the bride. Organ music fills the room as we pan from the audience to the side of the restaurant where the giant organ resides next to the soda fountain. It is being played by none other than the Weeknd. He is butt ass naked. The groom sneezes. God bless you.

[Amanda Leighton]

Thank you.

[Shane Top]

The groom and officiant make eye contact. They share a sensual moment.

[Olivia Sui]

Holy fucking shit. It's the fucking bride.

[Shane Top]

The audience turns in horror as the Bride, who is 8ft tall and built like a Ford F150, blasts through the doors, shattering them and launching shards of Glass through the crowd, we hear screams of agony.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh my God. My fucking eyes.

[Shane Top]

The bride walks up to the podium and faces her soon to be husband. As the audience continues to writhe and yell, you may all be seated. The audience quiets down. We are gathered here today in this sacred place, a house of God and also $6 shrimp baskets, to join these two beautiful individuals in holy matrimony. The officiant carefully reaches into his back pocket and rustles around for a bit. Whatever he is searching for is difficult to grasp. After several moments of struggle, he finally whips out a bag of M M's, opens it and pops a few in his mouth. Gangnam Style. Sorry, I was hungry as shit. Okay, say your vows. The bride pulls out a piece of paper, unfolds it, takes a deep breath and prepares to read it.

[Olivia Sui]

Mark the first day I the groom.

[Shane Top]

Pulls out his iPhone 12.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, I'll go first. Nancy, you are a fucking smoke show. I fell in love with you the moment you bench pressed me through our ceiling and into our upstairs neighbor's apartment. Every day I spend with you is the best day of my life. Do you remember that time we went to Disneyland and the fireworks malfunctioned during fantasmic and launched into the audience? But you saved the day by unhinging your jaw and catching them all in your mouth and swallowing them before they could explode. I know I do. You're the most wonderful person I've ever know. Before I met you, I was just a backup vocalist in a B52 cover band. But now I'm a lieutenant colonel in the United States military. I love you, Nancy.

[Shane Top]

The officiant pops another M and M. Okay, one second. Commercial break Interior, kitchen. Day. A mother, Cindy dries dishes while her kids run around the kitchen having a hard time keeping up with life.

[Amanda Leighton]

I just wish my kids would behave.

[Shane Top]

Well, that sucks, because this is a Swiffer commercial. Oh yeah. I mean, maybe they'll behave once the floor is cleaner. No, Right, Right. Well, I guess we'll get back to the wedding then.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. Speaking of, didn't they say it's the 1980s? How does he have an iPhone?

[Shane Top]

Oh, wow, I didn't think of that. Anyways, end of commercial break. Disney ANNOUNCER we now return to Hannah Montana. Interior. Long John Silver's contiguous. Okay, go ahead. The bride lifts up her paper and reads it.

[Olivia Sui]

Mark, the first day I met you, I knew we would spend the rest of our lives together. My whole life, I felt like a lady waiting at the train station. And then you finally arrived. You're the Ross to my Rachel, the Jim to my Pan, the Nancy to my Reagan. I love you beyond belief and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Cindy.

[Shane Top]

From the commercial break runs into the restaurant, sweaty and panting.

[Amanda Leighton]

I object.

[Shane Top]

Wow. Okay, sure.

[Amanda Leighton]

Mark, I love you and I'm sorry I left you all those years ago. I'm tired of living in a Swiffer commercial. Run away with me.

[Shane Top]

Mark shrugs.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, okay.

[Shane Top]

They leave. The music from Succession plays what?

[Amanda Leighton]

Wow.

[Olivia Sui]

Wow. That is what? Yeah. Wow.

[Amanda Leighton]

Honestly, this just shows me that when we go into Olivia's mind, it is wild.

[Shane Top]

You may not come back out.

[Amanda Leighton]

Wait, explain to me why it's called Stanley Tucci.

[Shane Top]

So I originally, I'm going to be fully honest with you. I titled it Stanley Tucci because I planned on writing a sketch about Stanley Tucci. I started writing and it ended up having nothing to do with Stanley Tucci, but I kept the name.

[Amanda Leighton]

I fucking love that. Can we read your ideas?

[Shane Top]

So I have. So first off, how I got into the zone is I first started writing down ideas on like last week. I was like, I'm going to try to write this and get it out of the way. So I'm not thinking about it. So on like Wednesday, I wrote down a bunch of ideas. I wrote down Stanley Tucci getting abducted by aliens.

[Amanda Leighton]

So funny.

[Shane Top]

An art museum and everyone is freaking out over the fire alarm. They're amazed at every level of interaction. And then the firefighters show up and they're actual performers. I wrote Pinata Surgeon, which makes me laugh very hard.

[Amanda Leighton]

So funny.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh my God.

[Amanda Leighton]

You need to write all these sketches.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. These are incredible.

[Shane Top]

A sketch with no joke, no through line, no logic, just turns it every other line. That's kind of what I ended up trying to go with. 911 caller getting a call from someone thinking they're subway. It turns into chaos and helicopters are sent out.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yes, Callback.

[Olivia Sui]

Yes, our phone call.

[Shane Top]

Did you also catch the callback that I threw into this lady in the train? Lady waiting by the train station. That's an old. That's an old Olivia joke right there. That Olivia's dream was to be lady.

[Olivia Sui]

Waiting at the train station.

[Amanda Leighton]

Just a lady.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

What were you waiting for?

[Olivia Sui]

Life.

[Amanda Leighton]

Life to return back to you.

[Shane Top]

The last thing I wrote is in quotations. Hey, he bought you a drink. And you look over and it's Tony the fucking Tiger.

[Amanda Leighton]

I fucking love.

[Olivia Sui]

What would you do?

[Amanda Leighton]

You have to write these.

[Shane Top]

Pinata Surgeon is very funny to me.

[Amanda Leighton]

I think the Tony the Tiger one makes Me laugh.

[Shane Top]

Just. I always like the setup. I often have sketch ideas where I don't know what the sketch is. I just know the location or the setup. And the setup of like being at a bar by yourself and the bartender coming over and be like, that person over there bought you a drink and you look over and whoever it is could be so funny. And imagine it's Tony the Tiger and he's like. And he's just there and he gives you a wave.

[Amanda Leighton]

Like, does he have a phrase to see if.

[Shane Top]

Like, they're great.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, yeah, they're great.

[Shane Top]

He's like, this guy got you an appletini and you look over and he's drinking an appletini too. And he's like, they're great.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, he just keeps saying that.

[Shane Top]

That's the only phrase he says.

[Amanda Leighton]

It's so funny. I always write. I never figure out the premise until, like midway through. I always write, like, something a person. Like, I'm always like a person dropped into a normal situation.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

Like, I'm always thinking like that I have struggle writing premise. Premise based sketches. But that's so funny.

[Shane Top]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

I would like to do like a thing where I just write a premise based sketch.

[Olivia Sui]

Usually I always do like a premise based thing. But then you guys will see later. When I wrote this one, I was struggling. I was like, what is a funny premise? And I couldn't think of one. I could not think of one. And then so I just went back to character.

[Shane Top]

Do you ever free write just where you just get on your and you just start writing?

[Olivia Sui]

Yes, but not sketch. I just write like.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, it's more of a diary entry. You're just kind of getting thoughts out. But sometimes I try to make it fictional where I'm just writing about something or I set up a scenario and I try to just write it out. I don't do it that often. I. It's the only times I've been writing lately is for these podcast episodes, which is why I've been kind of pitching it, because it's motivating me. But my perfectionism is what gets in the way, man.

[Olivia Sui]

No, I think, yeah, like, I think it's hard sometimes writing things because I'm like, when should I just let it go and be done with it? Or because I keep reading it over and over again. I'm like, oh, I want to add this. I want to take out this. I want to.

[Shane Top]

You know, I really. Because I look up to you in a lot of ways, Olivia, because I feel like you're Always creating stuff. I feel like you're. I feel like I see your social media, your Instagram and everything, and you're. You are always creating projects, and it feels like it. Watching it. It feels like it comes from a place of fun and that you just really desired to do this thing. You're not being told to do it. You're just doing it.

[Olivia Sui]

I like money. I like making stuff.

[Amanda Leighton]

That's why you're funny.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, I love, like, just. I love creating stuff out. Like, we have so much fun here. But you'll see. Like, I'll be like, hey, Amanda. Like, Pat. We'll like, make stuff outside because it's so fun.

[Shane Top]

You're the idol. Your impression of. Is it. That's right. The Lily Rose Depp.

[Olivia Sui]

Her character.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, yeah. Her character from the Idol. That was maybe my favorite thing I've ever seen. Dude, you have a quote where you're being interviewed and it's like, what's your favorite movie? And you're like, star Wars. What's your favorite character? War.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Lily Rose Depp.

[Olivia Sui]

Can I come in? Wait. Do you want a drink?

[Shane Top]

Sure.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, thank you. Thank me.

[Shane Top]

Thank you.

[Olivia Sui]

Thank me.

[Shane Top]

When is your birthday?

[Olivia Sui]

June 69, 1969. What's your sign? French.

[Shane Top]

What languages do you speak?

[Olivia Sui]

Where'd you get that hat? The war.

[Shane Top]

What's your favorite activity?

[Olivia Sui]

How do you say in English? Je. Masata. Jumping. Yes, jumping. I love jumping.

[Shane Top]

What's your favorite movie?

[Olivia Sui]

Star Wars.

[Shane Top]

Who's your favorite character? War. If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?

[Olivia Sui]

The smoking section. Hey, do people ever ask you questions? No. Can I have a cigarette?

[Amanda Leighton]

Sure.

[Olivia Sui]

What advice do you have for young people? Just like. Like, have a good summer. Do you need a lighter?

[Shane Top]

That's insane.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. That was really fun.

[Amanda Leighton]

I look good.

[Shane Top]

No? Right?

[Olivia Sui]

But it was like, this thing that. It was like, the cultural thing that everyone was talking about. And that character is just so funny. And.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, you do great impressions.

[Olivia Sui]

Thank you. I don't do them a lot.

[Shane Top]

When you do, they're killer. Your impression of Damian is still my favorite.

[Amanda Leighton]

As Augustus or just as Damian?

[Shane Top]

Her impression of Damian, we could just throw up a clip really quick. But it's Damien.

[Amanda Leighton]

I goto.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm Damian.

[Shane Top]

It's me.

[Olivia Sui]

It's me.

[Shane Top]

It's Damian with a mullet.

[Amanda Leighton]

This is like when you don't have.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, you got me goo.

[Amanda Leighton]

She said my catchphrase.

[Shane Top]

What's your favorite anime?

[Olivia Sui]

Kindness. I love hugs.

[Shane Top]

Damien, what was your favorite sketch that you did on so random?

[Olivia Sui]

The one where I Was nice to Shane. Yes.

[Shane Top]

Can you give me some sound financial advice?

[Olivia Sui]

Did you say sounds? I love making sounds.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, you mean Mama Mo.

[Olivia Sui]

That's true.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, you got me. It's insane.

[Olivia Sui]

I also love Augustus though.

[Shane Top]

Augustus is your character. Your bit of doing everyone else's characters, but more unhinged is so funny.

[Amanda Leighton]

What?

[Olivia Sui]

Wet Cop. I love Wet Cop.

[Amanda Leighton]

Wet Cop is so good.

[Shane Top]

Good old Sarah. Christ.

[Amanda Leighton]

I have to rewatch that clip. But you make them, you always make them your own. And they're always, they always feel like that's why I wrote this like Lady Lulu. Cause they always feel like they're like.

[Shane Top]

I think, I think whenever you play someone else's character, I like to think, headcanon wise that it's the same character. It's a demon that steals their skin and wears it like a suit. It's like a really bad skinwalker. It's like, oh, that's a demon that's trying to go under disguise. But it's very clear it's a demon.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yep.

[Olivia Sui]

Well, the secret ingredient is horniness. You just add a little bit of that in all the characters that I do. And then it just like.

[Amanda Leighton]

Is just like the show on Saturday. I want to text with Jedi.

[Shane Top]

It actually is so funny that you add horniness to a lot of our characters because our characters are canonically just not very horny like Augustus and chose at least chosen. I made him on purpose to be. He's like, doesn't talk about sex. Not interested. He's too busy focused on the world. So when you, when you play him and you add the horniness element, it's very stupid funny.

[Amanda Leighton]

Well, it's not horny either.

[Shane Top]

What?

[Amanda Leighton]

What?

[Olivia Sui]

Until I play it.

[Amanda Leighton]

I'm just kidding. W Cops. Sarah.

[Shane Top]

Christ.

[Amanda Leighton]

She's not, she's not horny. She's just like, let's get it done.

[Shane Top]

It's more of like a. Hey, look, this is part of life.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

I gotta do this.

[Olivia Sui]

That's.

[Shane Top]

I, I. It's a job. Yeah, it's a job for her.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh God.

[Shane Top]

I don't think I have any horny characters.

[Amanda Leighton]

I think 90% of mine are horny.

[Shane Top]

I think I'm too real talk because this is something I'm trying to. I, I think I'm worried about playing a horny character because I think it'll just come off creepy. Like it's hard, it's hard to just play horny. But it's like a self contained, like.

[Olivia Sui]

I can get away with it.

[Amanda Leighton]

I think, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're Also, Yeah, we're also.

[Shane Top]

I think, when I think of what I think of archetypes, though, archetypes of horny guys usually are not so.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, yeah.

[Shane Top]

They're not, like, funny.

[Amanda Leighton]

Be like, a nerdy, kind of sweet guy who's a little horny. But then again, that's.

[Olivia Sui]

That's weird. Yeah. Yeah.

[Shane Top]

You got to pick something that's so out of the norm that maybe you could make them horny.

[Amanda Leighton]

Maybe you have to, like, really go to the horny. Like, I am a horny man. Well, I think then it's funny.

[Olivia Sui]

I think you can be horny for, like, not, like, humans. Like, I think being horny for skittles.

[Shane Top]

Like, horny for, like, desks, that's fun.

[Olivia Sui]

You know, like, for other things.

[Amanda Leighton]

This is why when we wrote these sketches, my brain was like. It was like 500 things were, like, popping in, and they were all like, yay.

[Shane Top]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

Horny for desks. That is funny, actually.

[Shane Top]

Horny.

[Amanda Leighton]

Horny for numbers.

[Shane Top]

Horny for numbers.

[Amanda Leighton]

Horny for numbers.

[Shane Top]

Yeah. Like a mathematician. A famous math.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Like, what if. What if Albert Einstein's whole thing, he actually didn't care about science? He just was so horny.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

And any time he found a new equation, it turned him on super hard. It's like, oh, my God.

[Olivia Sui]

Here he's.

[Shane Top]

E equals mc.

[Amanda Leighton]

There you go.

[Olivia Sui]

That's a great guess. That's.

[Shane Top]

There we go. There we go. Then if other scientists, when they walk in the room, they see Albert Einstein had a huge boner, they're like, he just solved something.

[Amanda Leighton]

He's like, I've been up all night. They're like, okay, Albert.

[Shane Top]

Got it, man. Holy crap.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, let's read yours.

[Shane Top]

All right, let's see what an actual Olivia sketch.

[Olivia Sui]

What about yours? Going to read your.

[Amanda Leighton]

Read mine last.

[Shane Top]

My. My sketch?

[Amanda Leighton]

You mean I wrote a sketch in Shane.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, right. Okay. Here's this.

[Shane Top]

I'm so excited for this.

[Amanda Leighton]

So this is. Guys, this is a real Olivia written by Olivia sketch.

[Shane Top]

It's called script title, which is.

[Amanda Leighton]

I. I hope this shows us just how wrong we are.

[Shane Top]

Do you have a name for this sketch?

[Olivia Sui]

No, I just made this really short. Gosh, I didn't know you guys were writing freaking notes.

[Shane Top]

I. I typically think a long sketch is a sign of. It's not great because it's, like, not much thought. If I were to edit these sketches that I've read on this podcast, I would shorten them by at least we.

[Olivia Sui]

Can actually make this if you guys like it.

[Shane Top]

Okay.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay.

[Shane Top]

See, the character 50 police officers?

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. Okay, so you're gonna be Police Officer 1. Okay, I'll be Police Officer 2. And. Hold on. Really quick. Hold on, hold on, hold on. And then you and your police officer number three. Wait, wait, wait. What were you.

[Amanda Leighton]

None.

[Olivia Sui]

Okay.

[Amanda Leighton]

Nothing.

[Olivia Sui]

This is going great. You're gonna be a police officer three. And you're gonna be Eleanor.

[Amanda Leighton]

Three. Eleanor.

[Olivia Sui]

Eleanor's also police number four.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay. It's already worked out.

[Shane Top]

This is already an Olivia's sketch, so I'm just sort.

[Amanda Leighton]

Four and Eleanor are the same person.

[Shane Top]

And I'm just one.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Okay.

[Olivia Sui]

Your character is meaningful.

[Shane Top]

Oh, I know.

[Amanda Leighton]

You're just one.

[Shane Top]

I'm just.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay.

[Olivia Sui]

And I'm Stage directions.

[Shane Top]

Okay, great.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay.

[Olivia Sui]

Interior, police station. Morning. Three police officers are hanging out in the break room.

[Shane Top]

Hey, mama, how was your night?

[Olivia Sui]

I forgot to tell you, they're Gen Z.

[Shane Top]

Okay, okay, okay, let me start. We're Gen Z police officers.

[Amanda Leighton]

It changes everything.

[Shane Top]

Hey, mama, how was your night?

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, my God, girl. I was in a car chase for two hours down the 405. It was so mid slay.

[Shane Top]

Okay, Mood go off.

[Amanda Leighton]

I had the night off last night and I spent it with my boyf. At this point, he just feels like fam.

[Olivia Sui]

Bitch, you gotta get out of that relationship. Seriously. It's not serving you. Police officer four walks, talking like they're from the 1920s.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yes. Not busting at all. Am I right?

[Olivia Sui]

The other police officers roll their eyes.

[Shane Top]

Hey, Eleanor, how are you? Oh, well, wait, sorry, let me take that back. Hey, Eleanor, how are you?

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, well, I'm just doing swell. I racially profiled seven people and arrested all of them. Then I went to a speakeasy. Then I went home, made myself a ham sandwich and took a bath. Slay, slay, slay. Quiet, Eleanor, you just hit different. Absolutely not. I have never, ever hit anyone in my life. A woman never hits. That's a man's job.

[Olivia Sui]

Hey, Eleanor, what's your sign?

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, darling, what do you mean?

[Olivia Sui]

Like, when Were you born?

[Amanda Leighton]

February 14th. What year? A lady never reveals her age.

[Shane Top]

You're not the vibe you're giving.

[Olivia Sui]

Cunt. But in, like, not a good way. Their walkies start going off.

[Shane Top]

Okay, guys. Citizens arrest on First Ave.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, T, that's a bee's knees.

[Shane Top]

What the hell?

[Amanda Leighton]

I love that I'm three. And Eleanor also. Did you know that I was born on February 14th?

[Olivia Sui]

No.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yep.

[Olivia Sui]

Wow.

[Shane Top]

Whoa.

[Amanda Leighton]

Pretty cool.

[Shane Top]

Wow. Holy shit.

[Amanda Leighton]

That's bee's knees.

[Olivia Sui]

Wait, what? Isn't that Valentine's Day?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

You were. Yeah. Love you and Noah.

[Olivia Sui]

Love.

[Amanda Leighton]

I know.

[Olivia Sui]

And Noah's three brothers.

[Shane Top]

And Noah's brothers.

[Amanda Leighton]

All three of his brothers.

[Shane Top]

T has two brothers. All three of them were born on Valentine's Day. Yeah, I know. The next time we meet, my sister.

[Amanda Leighton]

Was born on Valentine's Day, too.

[Shane Top]

You both were born on Valentine's Day?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yes.

[Shane Top]

What the conspiracy is this?

[Amanda Leighton]

Actually, Noah and I have talked about that. We're both born on Valentine's Day, and we have never said that. You know what?

[Shane Top]

You know what's hilarious? We had Noah on and we talked about. Sorry, we'll get back to this sketch in one second. Yeah, we had Noah on this podcast, and we talked about conspiracy theories, and we didn't bring up the fact that he and his brothers and you and your sister were all born on Valentine's Day.

[Amanda Leighton]

I didn't know that.

[Shane Top]

You guys are all aliens.

[Amanda Leighton]

What is wrong with us? Good.

[Shane Top]

Okay. This is hilarious.

[Amanda Leighton]

I think that we can do this, because I am picturing Eleanor. It's just she's older, and she's speaking from the 1920s, which means she's really older.

[Shane Top]

She's dead. 130 years old.

[Amanda Leighton]

And I love how they're all just sitting there. It's like a new CW show, and they're all just sitting there hanging out, and they're like, eleanor, that just hits different. And she's like, what do you mean?

[Shane Top]

La La does a little tap dance.

[Olivia Sui]

They're mean girls, but they're cops.

[Amanda Leighton]

God, I fucking love it. I love it.

[Olivia Sui]

Thanks.

[Shane Top]

So wait, how long have you been working on this?

[Olivia Sui]

This morning.

[Shane Top]

Oh. Oh, okay. You wrote it this morning. You made it sound like you've been working on this.

[Amanda Leighton]

She fucking.

[Olivia Sui]

Well, the Gen Z Cop was this character that I was doing, and then I was like, okay, maybe there's.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, I love the idea.

[Shane Top]

You wrote from start to finish. You wrote this sketch this morning.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm not gonna lie. So here's the thing. I don't crack under pressure. And I love when I procrastinate because then I just get it done really fast. So I wrote this in 10 minutes.

[Shane Top]

You walked into the building and you sat down. Hold on, I'm gonna change something. Did you write the whole sketch then?

[Olivia Sui]

No.

[Shane Top]

Oh, you wrote.

[Olivia Sui]

No, I wrote the whole sketch this morning when I woke up and I was brushing my teeth thinking about, oh, my God, what am I gonna write? And then I wrote this sat down. That's why I was, like, five minutes late to work. And then I realized I wanted to change a joke. The Citize a restroke. So then I. I wrote in that.

[Shane Top]

That's. I love that you wrote this that fast. I wrote mine in less than a half an hour, too.

[Amanda Leighton]

Mine took me about four hours. No, I'm just kidding. Mine took five, like, 10 minutes. I was laughing so hard, and then I was like. And do not read it, because if you read it, you're going to be.

[Shane Top]

Like, oh, I can't read it.

[Olivia Sui]

Well, speed means talent, you know?

[Shane Top]

Yeah, yeah, they say that. They say that in this industry, that speed.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay. I actually love this Gen Z, like, CW type show of, like, the girls, like, hanging out, and they're like, oh, my God, that's such a vibe. And having the old woman come in. But for some reason, I would love Eleanor to be a little bit more. I don't know why I always want to play gruff people. I want to be wet cop. I want to have wet cop come in here also.

[Olivia Sui]

You can do this. Yeah. Be it. We'll shoot it right now.

[Shane Top]

It also makes me realize there. There are Gen Z cops out there.

[Amanda Leighton]

Are there?

[Shane Top]

Yeah, man. There's people who are under 26 who are cops. They're probably saying this stuff.

[Olivia Sui]

Slay.

[Shane Top]

They're probably. They're probably arresting people.

[Amanda Leighton]

Slay, bitch, you're arrested.

[Shane Top]

That was a slave.

[Amanda Leighton]

Hey, that's the vibe. Put your hands behind your back.

[Shane Top]

That's a vibe. Yeah. Like, okay, T. They sit down to interrogate. Someone's like, okay, here's the tea.

[Amanda Leighton]

Here's the tea.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, here's the tea. We talked to your partner. Yeah, he spilled everything. Total slay.

[Olivia Sui]

That's exactly what I was thinking about. These people are.

[Amanda Leighton]

That is so funny. I love that.

[Olivia Sui]

Like, very serious situations, and they're just, like, saying this stuff, like, so seriously, instead of.

[Shane Top]

Instead of good cop, bad cop, the good cop's like, okay, you're gonna serve cunt this time. And I honestly.

[Amanda Leighton]

You're serving cunt, but not in a good way. And Eleanor's like, boppity boopo.

[Olivia Sui]

What? And she's sort of racist.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. You guys like my vintage tap shoes? It's like, please go away.

[Shane Top]

It's. It's how giddy she is about it all, though. She's like, here's what I did today.

[Amanda Leighton]

That's the bee's knees.

[Shane Top]

I love this.

[Amanda Leighton]

I fucking. I actually love it. You should definitely do this character.

[Shane Top]

So now that we've read yours, who of Amanda and I's sketches, do you think was the most Olivia sketch? Be honest. Look, we. I. We're. I'm proud of them. I'm proud of my sketch, and I think Amanda's sketch was hilarious.

[Amanda Leighton]

But the mine brought us into the dwelling.

[Shane Top]

The competition was who wrote the sketch that's most like Olivia.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah.

[Olivia Sui]

Well, here's the thing. These are. Okay, so Amanda is so good at breaking down character and writing for characters. And that is for sure, that's me. Like, I'm that old creepy little lady by the reservoir. And I think you're really good at, you know, writing situational stuff. And you know how, like, my brain works in a way where there's always gonna be a weird commercial break and then some crazy shit happens in the commercial. So both of you guys, I can't pick. I truly can't, because you're, like, in my brain, and then you're my character.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, she's too nice.

[Shane Top]

I'll take it.

[Amanda Leighton]

Thank you. That's very sweet. I'll take that.

[Shane Top]

We could write together and put Lulu in this.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yes, Lulu could be in it. And maybe she's. Maybe she comes in and she's like, I object.

[Olivia Sui]

Yes, exactly.

[Amanda Leighton]

I object. This wedding. And they're like, who are you? Who are you? And she's like, I live next door. I've been watching this wedding from my window. And I object because I wasn't invited. Can I sit here? Like, maybe we can find them.

[Shane Top]

I actually don't object, but the lizards do.

[Amanda Leighton]

There's a lizard on your dress.

[Shane Top]

What if. No, here's how the Olivia sketch would go. She walks in, she goes, I object. And they go, why do you object? She goes, no, I'm saying I object. I am an object.

[Amanda Leighton]

I am an object.

[Olivia Sui]

Exactly.

[Amanda Leighton]

There's lizards everywhere.

[Olivia Sui]

And then. And then the cops come, and they're like, hey.

[Shane Top]

Hey, girl. Hey, girl.

[Olivia Sui]

You're under arrest.

[Shane Top]

This is not the vibe. So you need to come downtown with us.

[Amanda Leighton]

Hey, girl. Like, cute. So this is. Yeah, this isn't the vibe. Like, literally, we have to read your Miranda rights, which is just like, ugh. Anyways, get in the fucking car.

[Shane Top]

I'm. Pull your tarot. And then we're going to decide whether you are guilty or not.

[Amanda Leighton]

Ooh, you got the moon card. Card. Which means you have to go to jail for the rest of the night.

[Shane Top]

Oh, the king. But it's upside down, so that's manslaughter.

[Amanda Leighton]

Reversals are bad.

[Olivia Sui]

Manslaughter and 30 years.

[Shane Top]

I do love them asking what their sign is. Like, that's the only thing.

[Amanda Leighton]

What's your sign? Gemini. Okay, you're getting in the back of The.

[Shane Top]

All right. Oh, we're out. We're looking for a Scorpio today.

[Olivia Sui]

A suspect Scorpio.

[Amanda Leighton]

Fucking love this.

[Shane Top]

Okay, so you wrote a sketch that I would write.

[Amanda Leighton]

So this was just a bonus because I was laughing at Lulu, because I was just, like. I could see Olivia just being this weird person, but I wrote this sketch in your voice. It is the dumbest sketch, and it's not meaning because you're dumb. I am dumb. But it made me laugh because I was like, whatever. I'm not gonna explain.

[Shane Top]

Okay.

[Amanda Leighton]

I didn't.

[Shane Top]

Good. Good intro.

[Amanda Leighton]

I didn't reread it.

[Olivia Sui]

It's probably.

[Amanda Leighton]

So it's called Bro by Shane Top.

[Shane Top]

Do I say bro a lot?

[Olivia Sui]

No, you never say bro.

[Shane Top]

Because when people impersonate me, they. They say bro all the time.

[Olivia Sui]

I've never heard you say bro.

[Shane Top]

Thank you, Olivia.

[Amanda Leighton]

Is it bad? Oh, you're gonna.

[Shane Top]

No, we did.

[Amanda Leighton]

We did.

[Shane Top]

Because we did too many Shanes on the Smosh games.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Where Chance, Courtney, Damian, and Who else? Why am I blanking on this? But Angela. Angela. And they all impersonated me, but they were just saying bro the whole time. Like, all were just like, bro. Bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

You say bro.

[Shane Top]

Bro.

[Olivia Sui]

Really?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. You do say. And you only.

[Shane Top]

I believe. I'm not. I'm not.

[Amanda Leighton]

You only say it when you're talking about something exciting.

[Shane Top]

I think I say it as, like, a. Instead of a. Oh, man. I don't talk. I don't call people bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Right?

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. You're always like, oh, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

It's so bad that we're talking about this before this sketch, but I do.

[Shane Top]

Know when I get excited, I go, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think it's a bad.

[Shane Top]

I say bro, and then when something's crazy, I go, brutal.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Oh, it's brutal.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shane Top]

Brutal.

[Amanda Leighton]

Can I make an edit here?

[Shane Top]

No, it's not.

[Amanda Leighton]

Then you're absolutely gonna despise this sketch.

[Shane Top]

No, I'm excited.

[Amanda Leighton]

This sketch is like. To me, it's like a game sketch. Like, I'm just going hard on bro.

[Shane Top]

Love it.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay.

[Shane Top]

All right, Cast this.

[Amanda Leighton]

So let's see. Shit. There's only two people in it. Can you read Stage.

[Olivia Sui]

Great.

[Amanda Leighton]

And you read. You read Mike. And I'm gonna be Chris.

[Shane Top]

I'm Mike.

[Amanda Leighton]

Your mic.

[Shane Top]

Got it. All right.

[Olivia Sui]

Bro by Shane Top. Mike wakes up in his sleep. Mike wakes up his sleeping roommate Chris, by ferociously shaking him.

[Shane Top]

Bro.

[Olivia Sui]

Chris groggly opens his eyes.

[Amanda Leighton]

Bro. Stop. I'm asleep.

[Shane Top]

Bro. Bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

What?

[Shane Top]

Wake up, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Bro. I Am asleep.

[Shane Top]

I know that, bro, but wake up.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, bro, I'm up. Stop shaking me.

[Shane Top]

What's up, bro? Really important. Have you heard about this new weird show on Netflix? It's called Mimes in the United States of A. Bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

You woke me up for that, bro? Yes, bro. Thank you.

[Shane Top]

You're welcome, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Bro. When can we watch it, bro?

[Shane Top]

When it comes out, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Which is when, bro?

[Shane Top]

No idea. Next month or something.

[Olivia Sui]

Chris pauses, stares at Mike.

[Amanda Leighton]

Bro, can I ask you something? Honestly, without you getting mad, bro?

[Shane Top]

Yes, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Why the fuck did you wake me up, bro, if the show isn't even out yet, bro?

[Olivia Sui]

Mike is about to get mad, and then out of nowhere, tears come.

[Shane Top]

Damn, bro. Ouch, bro. Because I got you a gift, bro. It's your birthday, bro. That's why I woke you up, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, right. Sorry, bro.

[Shane Top]

Bro. It's okay, bro.

[Olivia Sui]

Mike wipes his tears on Chris's blanket. Chris is kind of grossed out, but lets it go.

[Amanda Leighton]

So where's the gift, bro?

[Shane Top]

Oh, the mime has it, bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Bro, the mime has it from the show on Netflix.

[Shane Top]

No, bro. A different mime that I hired to live with us until the show comes on. Just so we can. Just so we can get amped. You know the show about mimes in the United States of A. Bro, I.

[Amanda Leighton]

Say this with respect, but you are way too obsessed with mimes. It is out of control.

[Shane Top]

Get off my back. And thank you. I know, bro.

[Olivia Sui]

Mike calls out to the mime.

[Shane Top]

Okay, mime. Bro, you can come in now. He's ready for the. For his gift.

[Olivia Sui]

Nothing, bro.

[Shane Top]

Come in now with the gift. He's awake.

[Olivia Sui]

Nothing.

[Shane Top]

Where is that mime, bro?

[Amanda Leighton]

Did you open the front door?

[Shane Top]

No, bro, I just told him to come in.

[Amanda Leighton]

Bro, he can't open the door. He's a mime. You should know that.

[Olivia Sui]

Mike puts his hands on his face, bro.

[Shane Top]

Fuck. He's been out there all night.

[Olivia Sui]

Just then, out the window, we see the mime walking back and forth looking for an entrance.

[Amanda Leighton]

Bro, I'm going back to bed. Get out. Blackout. Brutal.

[Shane Top]

Brutal. I thought the mime was. I thought the mime was gonna be dead. Like, frozen. Like he froze to death outside.

[Amanda Leighton]

Wait, that would have been really funny. I genuinely. I added in the mime walking back and forth out the window. And I was like, is that so mean that he's out there because he can't get in through the door?

[Shane Top]

That is because he needs a fake door to open. Yeah, he can't open real doors.

[Amanda Leighton]

Door open so that he can go like this.

[Shane Top]

I love to interact with actual objects. Didn't think about that aspect.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, he can't interact. So Mike's like, dude, I got a bro. And he's like, dude, you have to open the door to let him in. He's like, bro, fuck. And the mimes like, trying to get in.

[Olivia Sui]

So funny. Who would you play? The mime?

[Shane Top]

Yeah, you'd be the mime.

[Amanda Leighton]

I'd be the mime.

[Olivia Sui]

You're so funny. I love your brain.

[Shane Top]

Who would play.

[Amanda Leighton]

This is the most stupidest sketch ever. No, it's funny, but it was making me laugh.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, hilarious.

[Amanda Leighton]

Like, bro. He's like, what, bro? He's like, dude, bro. There's a show coming on Netflix and I'm so excited. Mime's United States of A. And then he just, like, he gets really excited. This isn't this. I don't think that Mike is you, but I just think it would be a really fun character who gets really, really excited, but doesn't plan anything fully out. Doesn't actually think anything out. Yeah, I'm stoked.

[Shane Top]

He just really impulsive. Impulsively does all this shit. Yesterday, I hired a mime to live with us because I saw the trailer for this new show about mimes. So I thought it would be really fun.

[Amanda Leighton]

I feel like you would come up with this character.

[Olivia Sui]

This is great. We should. We should just shoot this right now.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay, let's shoot this.

[Shane Top]

Let's.

[Amanda Leighton]

But now you're gonna be really in your head about bro. Which I didn't.

[Shane Top]

No, I'm not gonna be in my head about bro. I'm not in my head about bro. I don't care.

[Olivia Sui]

You said it before, so it's like.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, I said bro. I say bro. I think you only say bro when.

[Amanda Leighton]

You'Re psyched about something. You're like, bro.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shane Top]

I don't talk about. I don't say bro casually.

[Amanda Leighton]

No.

[Shane Top]

But it does make me think about how I am. I am the bro. Iest cast member on Smosh. There's not many. There's just. Just. Cuz there's not many bro. Y people on Smosh.

[Amanda Leighton]

No, there's not.

[Shane Top]

I'm the most stereotypical bro. Dude. I guess.

[Olivia Sui]

And then it's me and then it's.

[Shane Top]

You, and then it's you. But really, like, our cast.

[Amanda Leighton]

What we are.

[Shane Top]

Our cast isn't bro. Y. A lot of YouTube channels are very bro. Yeah. And I. I fill up our bro quota. Our Broda.

[Amanda Leighton]

Here's the thing, though. I wouldn't write. I wouldn't necessarily categorize you as a bro. I just know that you say it.

[Shane Top]

But who. I'm just saying. Who on the cast is broier than me?

[Olivia Sui]

No one.

[Amanda Leighton]

Nobody.

[Shane Top]

Literally nobody.

[Olivia Sui]

I mean, Noah kind of. Noah. Okay, here's the thing. Noah could have went in the direction of Broey.

[Shane Top]

Could have.

[Olivia Sui]

If he, like, you could see, like, little. Little parts of him bro being.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, but there's still that, like, weird little, like. Like conspiracy theorists. Like. Like when he trails off and then he trails off and he's. I know.

[Shane Top]

It's too niche.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah. You're the bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

Iest.

[Shane Top]

I'm bro.

[Amanda Leighton]

You're the broest.

[Shane Top]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

Does that. How does that make you feel?

[Shane Top]

It's fine. It's fine.

[Amanda Leighton]

Fucking hates it.

[Shane Top]

No, it's honestly funny because I feel like most YouTube channels are super bro y. It's hard to find non bro y people on most comedy or just most channels on YouTube. Yet I am the closest we get, and I don't think I'm that bro. You're not, but I. I just am compared to everyone else.

[Amanda Leighton]

Right.

[Olivia Sui]

You just love ipa. You love sports. Love sports. You love gambling.

[Shane Top]

I don't love gambling.

[Amanda Leighton]

What?

[Shane Top]

I don't. I don't.

[Olivia Sui]

You love skateboarding and you love strip clubs.

[Shane Top]

I tried. I tried to get into skateboarding when I was young, and I sucked. See, Noah's more along the lines of, like, skater. Like.

[Olivia Sui]

Right.

[Shane Top]

I would have seen skaters. Noah hung out with a lot of skaters.

[Olivia Sui]

Oh, really?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, I guess. He skate.

[Shane Top]

Ever skate? Skated. But he's, like, more part of that scene.

[Amanda Leighton]

He's more of, like, a bra. You're like a bro.

[Shane Top]

I don't know if Noah's bra.

[Olivia Sui]

Noah's more like, like, the Valley.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, but that's. That's bro. Valley's bro y. But he's not. He's not bro.

[Olivia Sui]

I would say the mustache makes you less of a bro.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, mustache makes me more along the lines of Indy.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Shane Top]

What we're seeing, that surge of music. If I got a mullet and really started tucking my shirts in even more.

[Olivia Sui]

Yes. That's.

[Shane Top]

Then that's. That's indie.

[Amanda Leighton]

The mustache.

[Olivia Sui]

A lot of you guys are wearing chains these days. Like, you're wearing a chain. Ian's wearing a chain.

[Amanda Leighton]

Wait, I wear.

[Shane Top]

Everyone talked about. All right, since we have time, I can. We can talk about whatever we want here.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, we can.

[Shane Top]

And I can. I can. I can share some sketches.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, let's try that.

[Shane Top]

Beefs. I've got some beefs with Ian. Okay, let's just throw this out there.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, shit, this is taking a turn.

[Shane Top]

So I started wearing a chain earlier this year. I just, I, I, I had a friend of mine, he would wear some, some chains. He would wear gold chains. And I was like, those, those are cool. I go like a thin one. I was like, I, you know, I used to wear a necklace back in the day on this channel. And I stopped, I was like, you know what? I think a thin little guy would be nice. That would add like a little bit of detail to outfits. So I started, I started wearing it, and then it was a couple months later, Ian started wearing a gold chain. Yeah, I also started tucking in my shirts this year a little bit more often. And then all of a sudden, a couple months ago, Ian starts tucking in his shirts. And then a few months ago, I bought a shirt that is this, it's made from terry cloth and it's this like peach green, yellow terry cloth outfit. And then Ian bought it the same, Ian bought it the same weekend. So that was accidental. But that dude made that shirt like his brand. And I'm like, you mother fucker. I bought the same shirt and now I can't wear it in videos because you wear it. If I wear it, I'm gonna start wearing it.

[Amanda Leighton]

You need to.

[Shane Top]

I'm gonna wait, no, actually, my plan. And I'm gonna trust that Ian's not gonna see this episode.

[Amanda Leighton]

That's what Shane thinks about it.

[Shane Top]

My plan. And maybe I've already done this plan by now. I'm gonna bring it to set, I'm gonna just have it ready. And whenever I see Ian wearing it next, I'm gonna put it on. And every time he wears it, I'm gonna wear it.

[Amanda Leighton]

Holy. We don't have drama like this. No, no.

[Olivia Sui]

We never have drama like this is.

[Amanda Leighton]

That are like drama.

[Shane Top]

This is drama. Just that it's, it's funny. No, I love pranking Ian, as you may or may not know. I, I, for a period of time was hiding fake bananas in his office.

[Amanda Leighton]

And I remember we talked about it.

[Shane Top]

Got up to 30 bananas that I had stuffed in his couch hidden behind his mirror.

[Amanda Leighton]

Real bananas?

[Shane Top]

No, no, I'm not the devil, but I taped a bunch under his desk. Taped him under things.

[Amanda Leighton]

Wow.

[Olivia Sui]

Do you have any beef with Ian?

[Shane Top]

Do you have beef or beef with anyone?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, I have tons of beef with Ian. We're not talking right now. No, I'm just kidding.

[Shane Top]

You don't have beef?

[Amanda Leighton]

I don't have beef with anyone here. You don't have beef this, this, like, literally. I literally don't.

[Shane Top]

This is my only beef. My only beef.

[Amanda Leighton]

There's.

[Shane Top]

There's. Is that. Ian. Ian. To be fair, I also think there's been a trend overall of dudes tucking in their shirts this year. So I can't about. I can't say it's my own because it looks good.

[Olivia Sui]

Wait, people are talking? I didn't know that people were talking in their shirts.

[Shane Top]

I'm seeing a lot of more dudes tuck in their shirts. I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been seeing. Look around the office. Look around, look around. Watch.

[Amanda Leighton]

Olivia, I always talk.

[Shane Top]

Watch. No, it's. I'm talking about dudes tucking in their shirts.

[Amanda Leighton]

We're going to get out of this. We're going to get out of here and be like. And everyone's gonna.

[Shane Top]

Brennan. Brennan's tucked in his shirt today. I'm telling you. Look around the office. Men are tucking in their shirts nowadays. What I'm doing though, that I think everyone else needs to get on board with is high waisted pants.

[Amanda Leighton]

Oh, is Ian doing high waisted pants?

[Shane Top]

No, he hasn't gone high waisted yet, but he should.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm gonna, I'm gonna just.

[Shane Top]

I'll be proud of him if he does.

[Olivia Sui]

I'm gonna send him links to high waisted pants and your whole entire outfit. I'm not wearing high waist.

[Shane Top]

Like, this is really good doing high waisted today, but telling you, wow, legit.

[Amanda Leighton]

Okay. So you have beef, you say bro, but you don't really say bro.

[Shane Top]

And there's nobody else.

[Amanda Leighton]

Did you like my sketch?

[Shane Top]

I really loved it.

[Olivia Sui]

I love your brain.

[Shane Top]

We need to find a way, so. We need to find a way. I need to start making tiktoks again. We need to just film these. We need to film these.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, we really, really do. Because it's so easy.

[Shane Top]

Yours. The problem is mine is not easy to find.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah, yours is different.

[Shane Top]

We need to find a Long John Silver.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yours is high budget.

[Olivia Sui]

It doesn't need to be at a Long John Silver.

[Amanda Leighton]

Long John Silver's from the 1990s.

[Shane Top]

I guess I could change it, but the Long John Silver's really adds to it.

[Olivia Sui]

Right?

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, it does.

[Olivia Sui]

Right.

[Shane Top]

It's really important.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yours is going to take a bigger budget. Where I think Olivia's and I could be like a Sunday afternoon.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, true. I agree.

[Olivia Sui]

Yeah.

[Amanda Leighton]

We should film these.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, we have all of them. We have all of them from Angela's. We have all them here. Maybe it's like a smosh pit theater. Or maybe it's.

[Amanda Leighton]

Wait, a smosh pit theater Theater.

[Olivia Sui]

Incredible.

[Amanda Leighton]

Wait, that's brilliant.

[Shane Top]

See about that. Or we do a new smosh pit theater. We just have everyone write insane things.

[Amanda Leighton]

But wait, that's really funny. What if we did a smosh pit theater and we cast people in it and we just perform these. That's true. Like Angela's ham cake. We do the Gen Z police officers, which is so good. You need to just do that character.

[Shane Top]

Yeah, just do that.

[Amanda Leighton]

And then we can do the bro. The bro. And then we can. We can either do Lulu or we can never do Lulu.

[Shane Top]

No, we're doing.

[Olivia Sui]

Wait, I'm gonna.

[Shane Top]

We're doing Lulu. You don't get to do that. All right, all right. Olivia, thank you so much.

[Olivia Sui]

Thank you guys, so much.

[Shane Top]

[Amanda Leighton]

[Shane Top]

Yeah, we're waiting on it still. It's just taking a lot of time.

[Amanda Leighton]

Santa's delivering.

[Shane Top]

Santa's breaking it, but he's bringing it before Christmas.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah. Thank God.

[Olivia Sui]

Okay, I want to tell the audience a secret.

[Shane Top]

Okay, fine. That's.

[Amanda Leighton]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Shane Top]

We'll stand up.

[Olivia Sui]

That way, there's a secret, and I'm going to tell you guys, these plants are not real.

[Shane Top]
