It was a crazy time.

[C]

Don't do it.

You were truly like dead for a couple days.

[D]

Well, yes, because the night before or the day before we filmed the prom line music video.

[A]

Oh yeah.

[D]

Out until 9:30 or something. And then I had an 8am call time the next day so I didn't get to sleep much. So I was already so tired. And then I had a little silly lettuce, and that night it was silly lettuce. Ba, ba, ba.

And today we are going to be playing Slip it In. Yes. For those unfamiliar. Each of us is going to get five phrases that Selena wrote out. 15 phrases. We're going to get five each. We're going to take turns. Two of us will step out, the other one will say to the cameras and for our audio listeners what their five phrases are. And then after that, we will then continue the podcast. But you're trying to slip in your five phrases. Whoever gets the most phrases slipped in without getting caught, called out wins.

[C]

Yes. So question here for me.

[A]

Yeah, teachers, what's up?

[C]

If you think it's a phrase, are you gonna go, that's a slipping phrase. And do I immediately have to be like, yeah, you're right, you win.

[A]

Yeah. If they call you out, if it's not, you go, loser. Loser.

[D]

Right.

[A]

It's just a random thing I said.

[D]

And then, like, give it a little bit of time and then you can go. So that was. I. I just slipped it off so you can.

[C]

Okay. So you can admit it later.

[A]

Being here. Well, should we get our five phrases?

[D]

Let's.

[C]

Yeah, let's get our five phrases out so I can start slipping it in.

[A]

Amanda, we'll start with you. So Tommy and I'll step out.

[C]

Get out of here. Mind the log. Do you need help getting up?

[D]

And why would you say that?

[C]

Nothing and no reason. Here are my five phrases that I have to slip in, and I'm going to do it in this voice. First, we should get Vanessa Lachey on the show. I would never say that. James, shut the door. Two, I would never let you babysit Cole. That is awful. Because, honestly, I would let either of those dudes babysit Cole. What does it say about me? 3. Oops, I just farted, and it was nasty. That one's so good. And you know what? I'm not even going to claim that it's a slip it in. 4. I love when you do an impression of me. This one I can do this. One's pretty good. 5. I have to say this three times. You're so corny. You're so corny. You're so corny. 3. It must be three times or it's not a. Slip it in. Selena, these are brilliant. These are so good. Okay, let's see if I can do it. Next up, Tommy.

[D]

Hi, everybody. My five sentences. First one is, I think I'm done making music that'll hit. I've got. I might want to move back to Florida. Scary. Can I be Cole's grandfather? Very cute. Sorry, can I say grandfather? Can I age? Can I be Cole's godfather? Then I have. I'd love to get cast on a reality TV show. And I'd shave my head before I have to go back to being a brunette. Ooh. Ooh. These are very intense. So we'll see if they believe me at all.

[A]

These are my phrases. I'm the greatest of all time. Can I teach Cole how to do a Boston accent? I measured myself this morning. I'm trying to finally read the Bible. I could play center. Okay.

[C]

Okay. Yes, ma'. Am.

[A]

All right, so now we continue. Now, Tommy, something we really did want to talk about is. It's been out for a couple weeks now.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

It's our first time to really talk about Promline.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, my God. Let's talk about it.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

It's so good.

[D]

It's super exciting. Look, I'm like, check my. I'm like, yeah, no, it's been really.

[A]

It's pretty lugubrious.

[C]

What does that mean?

[A]

Okay. Yeah.

[D]

No, it was really, really cool. Basically, it was just like, hey, we're gonna. We wanna do a music video. And I was like, oh, I don't know about that. And then they were like, no, we want to. And I was like, okay, then let's do it. And so we did it. And it was. I came up with a pitch deck. I gave them a pitch deck. They sent that off to a cool director and his dp. And then, like, we walk in. I'm like, oh, all the stuff that I kind of asked for is here. This is really cool. And we kind of, you know, found a new version on the day there on set. It was really, really fun.

[C]

It was so much fun. I felt it was so cool because the director was really, really chill. And we got to be a part of all the shots. Like, they would do it, and then we would all watch it together.

[D]

Yes. It was so fun to watch playback over and over again.

[A]

Yeah, it looked incredible.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Prominent Summer Games from last year.

[D]

Yeah. From last year's Summer Games promposal. So good. I think it'll be like a true year since that aired that this will air.

[A]

But you produced this song, like, months ago. Like, right, like, you. You came up with this version of the song. The. The recording track of it.

[D]

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's like I made, like, a goofy, little silly version.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

That you all heard. And then a few months after that, maybe like four months after that, Gabe reached out. I don't know if I can use his name. I probably. Whatever. Reached out and was like, I want to make this real. And we were like, lol. Okay, let's do it. And so we had his producer, Matthias make a very, very cool, realized, mega version of it.

[C]

So good.

[D]

And then we've been sitting on that for a while, trying to figure out, what are we gonna do with this? When are we gonna release it? And then now we're here, and it's really, really cool.

[A]

So. So sick.

[C]

I. I loved being a part of it because it was just like, I never get to play, like. What would you call me? I'm not a robot.

[D]

Kind of a robot.

[C]

I was very blank.

[D]

It was great.

[C]

And the world was very imagined. It was like, pink and, like 90s. And the apple. The. Is it a Mac computer?

[D]

The Mac computer that I met that worked, by the way it turned on. Heartbreaking to bat. Not anymore.

[C]

Yeah. Watching Angela just get out, all of her rage was excellent.

[A]

Can I ask, do we know if another project is also out by this time or coming up?

[D]

I don't think if. I don't know if that's out yet.

[C]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[D]

Because I think there's a. Because we filmed that and we still have to film the rest of that as we're recording.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Well, we won't talk about that.

[A]

You're so right. Well, hey. Cool things are on the way.

[C]

It might be kind of the world is going to be, so.

[D]

I might be kind of complete with it. You know? It's like, you have an idea, you realize it, and then you're like. You're solid. So I might be done. I don't know. I'm thinking about it. I might be done making music.

[A]

I have. I'm having a heart that. That's just something Tommy would never say.

[D]

Really? Really, really, really?

You trying to. You trying to compound this?

You're doing, like, a thing where it's like a quote And I'm doing a thing. Yeah, that's fine. This episode of Smoshmouth is sponsored by zocdoc. Do you remember when you used to have to call to schedule a doctor's appointment?

[C]

It was the worst during the week. I'd think, oh, I need to schedule my primary care appointment. But I'm so busy so I forget. Then Saturday comes around and I'd remember then. But by that time it's the weekend and my brain is off.

[A]

Same. That's why I love the ZocDoc app. When I'm laying in bed and all those thoughts come rushing in, I always think like, oh, I should schedule that. And the ZocDoc app lets me do that right then and there.

[C]

Oh, I love that. You can see actual appointment openings and click to instantly book a visit.

[A]

Exactly.

[C]

[A]

I was literally the worst at scheduling doctor's appointments until I downloaded Zocdoc and now I've been on top of it for a while.

[C]

Yeah, you have.

[A]

I feel good.

Oh, it's. And it's got that act. Oh, what's his name? What's his name?

[D]

Okay.

[C]

I love when you do an impression of me because you already start off like this. You're already like.

[A]

You're like, let me get Amanda pose.

[C]

You already start off like this.

[A]

That's going to loose.

[D]

Let me get a fight.

[A]

That's Amanda pose.

[C]

Do an impression of me.

[A]

Yeah, it's like. It's like, I'm Amanda. I'm six foot. I could play center.

[C]

I could. Damn. I can't play basketball.

[D]

Damn.

[C]

Also, I slipped it in.

[A]

What? What did you slip in?

[C]

I love when you do an impression of me. That's how you slammed dumb.

[A]

I should have called it because you said, nobody can't play basketball. You said, nobody does an impression of me, and then you said, I love when you do an impression of me. I should have clocked that.

[C]

But you didn't because you were so into your impression.

[A]

Yeah, whatever, because I slipped it in too.

[D]

So into the shimmy. What?

[C]

Center.

[A]

Yeah, I could play center. That was the phrase.

[C]

But you owe me. It about me.

[A]

I was doing an impression of you saying I could play center.

[C]

Look at two geniuses against each other.

[A]

Yes.

[D]

Okay. This will be really challenging. Tommy's, like, with all of my I statements. This will be rather challenging.

[C]

Well, if he put it in an impression. So I guess we have to keep doing impression.

[A]

I could play center, and I did that.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Someone asked me to do an impression.

[C]

Tommy. Okay, fine. Tommy.

[A]

We're gonna get halfway through the podcast. We're gonna have burned through all the phrases.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah, you're right.

[A]

Tommy, do it.

[D]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come back.

[A]

No.

[D]

She's gone.

[C]

What is your favorite part about doing a music video? I don't mean the filming of it. I mean all of it. What is your favorite part?

[D]

Well, this is my first music video, so.

[C]

Yeah, so tell me your favorite part.

[A]

So give me a damn break.

[C]

Tell me a favorite part.

[D]

What's up?

[A]

Nothing.

[D]

Nope. What?

[A]

I said give him a damn break. That's not.

[C]

That is a Shane thing.

[D]

Okay?

[A]

I say that.

[D]

Give me a damn break. What was the question?

[C]

What's your favorite thing about doing a music video anytime? It could be writing the song, recording the song.

[D]

Oh, my God. Writing the song is the most fun part, I think.

[C]

Okay. Okay.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, the producing it. Like, even though I didn't make, like, the big, cool, crazy version, like, I. You know, it's still my melody and, like, the bass line's the same. You know, it's like, there's that kind of stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely. The writing. It. It was okay. It was really.

[C]

You can't look down at your phone, at your Slip it in.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Conversation.

[D]

I'm just checking my. I'm just checking my messages.

[A]

Writing. It was really. George Washington is my spirit animal, and.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, no, it was. It was really, really fun. Lots to do. Lots to do. But it's very. It was. It was a blast.

[C]

He said lots to do twice. And it made no sense.

[A]

I was really glad I got to go be, like, an extra.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

And that was a. That was really fun.

[C]

Okay. That lots to do is a slip it in 1000% now. Twice.

[D]

No, I just wanted to spook you.

[C]

You spooked me, you naughty bitch.

[D]

I gotcha.

[C]

I didn't like that.

[D]

I will say the part that was really fun, like, when I was, like, trying to. Basically, with this music video, I didn't want it to be like a Tommy's dancing and singing to the camera thing.

[C]

Right.

[D]

Just. Cause it didn't compute with what I wanted to do with this. But they do need that for coverage. So there were shots at the end of the day after I sweated my. Okay, by the way. Forehead. Forehead's a different color than the rest of my body. Forehead was white because I couldn't stop sweating. And I am pasty right now. And so it was just like. And I had bronzer on because I wanted to be tan like last year.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And so I just had a pale forehead and a tan. I looked sick.

[C]

You looked at us, and you were like, did the bronzer wipe off? And we were like, yes.

[D]

You're like, yes.

[C]

Your forehead is white.

[D]

Yes. Yep. But the I. So as of right now, I just saw a cut of it, and I was able to give some notes. I just have a few left. I want to give. But the dancing, when you don't have choreography, and they go, I want you to dance for three minutes.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

You mix some stuff up.

[C]

Yeah, that's tough.

[D]

And boy, does it look odd. I was watching it, and I was like. So I am cringing myself out at this right now.

[C]

Great.

[D]

Right. But my friend told me. She was like, but you're committing your ass off to it. So I mean, it kind of works. Cause you're like.

[A]

You're on the option.

[D]

Yeah. You're giving it your all, at least. And I was like, yeah, but like, when I'm like, yeah, but I. It's like kind of Elaine. There's Elaine from Seinfeld vibes.

[C]

I watched it and I was like. It was really, really good, though, because it felt like you were. You perfectly matched. Like a 2000s music where they were, like, trying to be cool and then, like, entering frame being like, huh. Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. That's what I was going for.

[A]

And meanwhile, the rest of us are at a prom. We were asked to dance, too. And I'm so. I'm trying to figure that out myself. And it's. It's. You're just dancing for kind of like an hour straight.

[D]

Yeah, we were all dancing for an hour straight while he blasted the song as loud as possible. It was awesome.

[C]

I guess it was better that I was kind of a robot because I didn't need to conform to any of that.

[A]

So as of as of now, because I have not seen the music video. As of recording this.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Still being compiled. What was the story of. Because it's you and Angela.

[D]

Right. So the initial. So the. I'll kind of talk about the pitch as opposed to the music video. Cause right now there's some stuff up in the air.

[A]

Sure.

[D]

But it was supposed to be. Cause I was like, okay, if you don't watch Smosh and you come across this, you're like, so, what the fuck is this?

[A]

Sure.

[D]

Prom line. And so I wanted to, like, reset the. Like, okay, it's 2005 or some, you know, not right now. I didn't want it to be too obvious. What? I didn't want it to be a period piece. And it's prom. And so I wanted Angela to be like, oh, man. I want a date for lesbian prom. And so I wanted her to Google, like, how to get a date for prom. Parentheses, lesbian. And then the result would come up. Or rather, Ask Jeeves would be better. And then the result comes up. And then it's like, get a date for prom now. Parentheses, lesbian. She clicks on it. It downloads a virus. It opens. It's me. I pop out. I slap the computer. It starts up. It boots up a character creator. Amanda pops up as, like, a blank person. We customize her. I make her stupid. She pops out, and she's like a simple. Like Sims, like, soulless.

[C]

A simple girl.

[D]

Yeah, Little soulless. They go to a dress shop. The guy at the dress shop Is like, oh, let me, you know, hello. And I don't go with them. I, like, send them on their way. And then when they get the dress, the guy turned. It was supposed to be, oh, my God, Amanda gets the dress. We gotta go. It's prom.

[A]

They leave.

[D]

And then the dress store guy watches them leave, and then turns into me. And then you go, wait, what? Why did he turn into him? And then they show up at the prom, and then everyone's dancing at the prom, and then people are starting to glitch out. I wanted two Amandas. I wanted you. I wanted blank Amanda to come in, and then the other Amanda to be there and be like, is that supposed to be me? No, like, is that fucking me?

[C]

I love that.

[D]

And then people start, like, glitching a little bit, and then the two go to kiss, and then Amanda turns into me, and then Angela's like, ah. And then everyone else. I wanted a sinner's type shot where they move through the dance, and then people start turning into me, so good as it goes. And then I wanted Angela to be, like, backing up against the wall while there's like, 40 of me. And then she leaves. Then she comes home and she bashes the computer. We got a lot of that stuff in, but we were definitely unable to do any of the cool shots where there's a bunch of us, a bunch of me. So we kind of had two people turn into me, and then, like, one final, like, oh, like, he's going to get me kind of shot. So it's like we lost a little bit of what I was going for with our restraints. But I'm trying my best right now to, like, kind of sprinkle in some. Some other stuff.

[C]

But in your pitch, it's kind of like Angela thinks the prom is happening with this me.

[D]

Well, no, a prom is happening.

[C]

The prom is happening, but it's not with me.

[D]

Well, the idea was. The initial idea was she sees you in a yearbook and she draws a heart around you and then makes you on the computer.

[C]

But it's actually the virus, Right?

[D]

Exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

So the prom is happening, but it's actually the virus, Right?

[D]

Or the virus is, like, taking over the virus. Oh. And then at the end, the mom comes in, and it's me, which we need to get that VO today.

[A]

Oh, let's do it.

[D]

Let's do it.

[C]

Done.

[D]

Great. So anyway, that's.

[C]

That's what it was.

[A]

That's incredible.

[D]

Do you think I slipped anything in?

[A]

You probably did. Oh, my God.

[C]

And honestly, I focused on something else.

[A]

Yeah. Sorry. That we're good friends and we're good at.

[C]

What would you slip in? I don't know.

[D]

What do you think?

[A]

I have no idea.

[C]

Wait.

[A]

Selena made it easy on you and she gave you.

[C]

Oh, no.

[A]

Oh, what if that was the. Slip it in? What if it was? What if Selena said, hey. Slurp loudly.

[D]

I did not slip anything in very.

[C]

I don't think you did, because everything you said sounded like.

[D]

I just. I just wanted to send you into space.

[C]

A lot of work. A lot of work. We have a lot of work to do. We have a lot of work to do.

[A]

I hate these.

[C]

We have a lot of work to do.

[D]

Lots to do, lots to do, lots to do. There's lots to do.

[C]

Lots to do, guys.

[D]

Lots to do here.

[A]

I think it's so cool because I remember before that Summer Games last year, Courtney wrote her whole song as well. Like, I'm very impressed by people who write music who have, like, that come to their head, because I don't.

[D]

Like.

[A]

I'm just not. I'm not a musically inclined person, but we have so many on our cast. I'm always just very impressed by it.

[D]

I mean, it's fucking tearing up my heart. Like, it's literally. I truly just went, okay, I've got two days to come up with a promposal where I'm a hacker. It's 2005. So good. It's a promposal. I was like, I don't know. And so I was like, okay. Prom line.

[C]

So good. And we were talking that we were NSYNC honeys and not Backstreet Boys.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Well, I liked Backstreet Boys, but NSYNC was my number one. And I think people a little bit older than me were like, backstreet Boys is the show.

[D]

Yes. My older cousin loved Backstreet Boys. She was, like, four or five years older.

[A]

They were the og, Right? Weren't they just, like, a year or 2 before NSync?

[C]

New kids on the Block, I feel like, were the og.

[A]

Well, New Kids on the Block was way earlier, but Backstreet Boys.

[D]

New Kids on the Block was, like, super bonkers, bananas cool, guys.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[C]

You can't.

[A]

You can't make direct eye contact with a smirk after you say it.

[C]

There's no way it could have been the New Kids on the Block line, because I brought that up.

[A]

No, but he's saying, super bonkers, bananas boys.

[C]

Not a slip it in.

[A]

I'm gonna say not a slip it in.

[D]

Oh, it's not.

[C]

You're dumb.

[A]

That's something you would say.

[D]

The things I have to say today. I must get you confused.

[A]

He has to prime us.

[D]

I have to prime you.

[A]

And meanwhile, I got. I could play center.

[D]

Yeah, like, that's.

[A]

That was an easy one for me. You know, on that note, I've been saying bonkers a lot.

[D]

For me, bonkers is good.

[A]

Bonkers is a great word.

[D]

Bonkers.

[C]

I'm not a big. I'm not the biggest fan of it.

[A]

Okay, that's fine. It's mine. Bonkers.

[C]

You don't have to say, I think bonkers is cringy.

[A]

I'm allowed to.

[C]

I think anyone that goes, huh? That's bonkers.

[A]

I'm like, what are you talking about?

[D]

Cringing.

[C]

Cringe.

[A]

Oh, so you've been cringing at me this entire time?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Do you use the word cringe?

[A]

You don't use the word.

[C]

It's not a slip.

[A]

You use it as a verb.

[D]

It's not a slippin in.

[C]

It's like some.

[A]

You won't say, like, cringe at that.

[C]

Like Nick and Vanessa Lachey would say or something like, okay, this. This reunion is bonkers.

[A]

No, they wouldn't.

[C]

Yeah, they would.

[A]

They would not.

[C]

We should have Vanessa Lachey on the show so she can say it.

[A]

I really am genuinely down to have her on.

[D]

Okay. We'd have to. We need to get, like, a metal detector for Amanda to walk through before we have.

[C]

No, I won't. I won't hurt her with that. I'd hurt her with my bare fists.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

All right.

[C]

No, I'm not gonna hurt her violently, but we should have Vanessa Lachey on the show so that we could just. We could just clear the air.

[D]

Yeah, okay. Sorry. This is like when you're out of dinner and there's a really big bouquet, and I'm like,

[A]

these are.

[C]

You know what? I've never just looked at this one eye of yours, and it's really awesome. Hey, by the way, I slipped it in.

[A]

So what is Vanessa Lachey part of your slip it in?

[C]

Yes, bitches. What do you think it was? We should get Vanessa Lachey on the show.

[A]

We literally said, okay.

[C]

I didn't create it, guys. Selena did.

[A]

It's good.

[D]

What's so funny is yours are, like, things you would say, right? So. So that. So your slips it ends are things you would say.

[C]

You're so corny. You're so corny. You're so corny.

[D]

Lots to do, Lots to do.

[C]

Lots to do.

[A]

Yeah. Mine are all roasts on Mine, it's like, I could play. Like Selena wrote, I could play center because she knew that'd be funny coming out of my mouth.

[C]

But yet you use an impression.

[A]

I used it for you because it makes more sense. Yeah. It was the only way I was gonna. Because if I said I could play center.

[C]

But.

[A]

But for real, like, shut up, dumbass.

[C]

I would never say that. But for real.

[A]

Literally called me a dumb ass.

[C]

Yes, but that was when I meant it. Like, now I don't feel that you're a dumbass today. Right.

[D]

Giving dumbass today.

[C]

No.

[A]

You're not feeling pretty smart today. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[C]

That's bonkers.

[D]

That's bonkers.

[C]

But I really mean it. I would love Vanessa Shea on the show just to, like, see what would happen.

[A]

Yeah, okay.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay, cool.

[D]

What's. What. And that's Love is Blind, right?

[A]

Yes, yes, yes.

[C]

I mean, besides love, That's Nick Lachey, 98 degrees, which.

[A]

Nobody listened to, 98 degrees.

[C]

I listened to two songs of theirs.

[A]

That's maybe.

[C]

But it wasn't my. It was not my favorite.

[A]

Have we had an American.

[C]

No. This, I promise you, is NSync. That's crazy. I do. I do.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Couldn't tell you what that is.

[C]

They didn't really have a lot of great songs. But I did watch him and Jessica Simpson on reality show Tuna's.

[D]

What was the reality show?

[A]

The Newlyweds.

[C]

The Newlyweds.

[A]

That was Chicken of the Sea.

[C]

Do you remember that? And she. She consistently, like, farted a lot. And he'd be like, well, Jessica.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

No, it was like, that's awesome.

[A]

The talk of the entire year was when she had the Chicken of the Sea and she's like, is it chicken or is it fish?

[C]

That was. That was a big.

[A]

Genuinely blown away. And that was, like, all people talked about for, like, a year.

[C]

That was all they had.

[A]

I brought it up a lot. But, like, I think back on how a thing would happen on television back in, like, 2006, and it'd be there, and that would be like. That's what we talk about.

[D]

There was so less media.

[A]

There's so much.

[C]

There was so less media. And also, like, then everyone was in on it.

[A]

Like, I'm. I'm so sad that we record this show, and if it's, like, coming out in a few weeks, it's like, oh, like, I'm watching Love Island. I can't really talk about it because by the time this airs, it'll be so. It'll be like, that's. We're on to, like, a new million new things.

[C]

So now we have just Jessica Simpson being like, oops, I just farted, and it was nasty. And Nick Lachey is just like,

[D]

what

[A]

if Selena, for one of your slip it ins was, oops, I just farted, and it's nasty.

[C]

That would be crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Is it?

[C]

Yes. Cause I go, it is. Oops, I just did. Jessica Simpson actually did nasty.

[A]

Did Jessica Simpson actually fart on the show?

[C]

She would literally poop, and Nick would be like, chest. Oh, Jesus. That was, like, a big thing. She'd be like, you love my stinky butt, don't you?

[A]

Oh, my God.

[C]

I'm not even making that up. That was, like, a thing.

[D]

God.

[B]

What?

[C]

You love my stinky.

[D]

What is this reality show?

[A]

It was just them being newly married.

[C]

I don't know. But if I said as me, oops, I just farted and it was nasty, would you guys believe it if you

[D]

did it with a little voice kind of like you did like, I believe it.

[A]

But you're a mom now. I feel like you get used to. I don't think your mom.

[C]

Now open now.

[A]

No, I just mean, like, I just feel like parents get used to, like, you know, you're dealing with all the time, so, like, you're. You're desensitized to it.

[C]

I will say Cole now does, like, kind of monster farts.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, he does. And they're like.

[A]

And I'm like, awesome.

[C]

Oh. And I go, did you just fart? And he goes, I know.

[D]

Can I be his godfather? Can I be Cole's godfather?

[C]

I would never let you babysit Cole.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Okay. That's too bad. That's too bad.

[A]

Wow. Damn. That actually. Oh, wait. No, that's a slip it in.

[C]

That's a slip it in.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

What you just said.

[C]

Yeah, I would, of course let you babysit cold.

[A]

How many do you have?

[D]

That was also a slip it in.

[C]

See, Selena wrote that. And I go, that's so sad. I actually would totally let you or Tommy babysit Cole 100%.

[A]

It'll happen sometime.

[C]

You don't want to be his cock.

[D]

I will be. I would be. I would be. And I will be. But. That is a but.

[C]

So we're using coal to slip it in.

[D]

That's right. Real quick, I'd like to get back to the topic of reality TV shows. This pillow is hollow. I don't know if guests have talked about this yet.

[C]

They have not. They haven't shoved their fingers in there like you said.

[D]

I need to put my full fist in hollow.

[A]

I need to put my pillow.

[D]

I need to put my file faced in this pillow. No, but like.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, it's just knit. It's just like a knit.

[C]

I think the pillow does not enjoy that you are doing that.

[A]

Whoa. Pretty cool.

[C]

It's just like a mom. You can just get right in there. What?

[D]

Jesus Christ.

[A]

I know that. I know that's not. Slip it in because Selena could not write something that demented. Selena has a conscience.

[C]

You are bankers.

[D]

Okay, how about this?

[A]

Our bankers guys.

[D]

Okay, so this is for our visual.

[A]

Yeah. So if you're listening, just. You know what? Tune out for a little bit.

[D]

Eyes on the pillow. All eyes on the pillow. Ready?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, fuck.

[C]

Bathrooms as a pillow.

[A]

If you're listening, just imagine the grossest shit you've ever seen.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Forever. That's what that is.

Listen, Selena just slacked that, and I thought. She goes. She goes, you're done. But this exact phrase is, how much time?

[A]

How long have you been recording for?

[C]

It's been 35 minutes. Well, get this.

[A]

We're literally halfway through, and you're out of your phrases.

[C]

When I played slip it in, I get overwhelmed that I have them. So the whole time, I would literally be like, when chimes on Etsy, I would just say them all the time. Sure.

[D]

Well, sure.

[C]

So I'm done.

[A]

All right.

[C]

You're paying me. I can be free. I don't care.

[D]

Now you can have a conversation.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

And I was having a conversation.

[A]

Genuinely. Genuinely. It'd be fun to babysit Cole.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

How does that make you feel? Would you be scared? No.

[D]

I've babysat a young boy before, so

[C]

as long as I tell you what to do.

[A]

Oh, totally.

[C]

And you're like, but I have no issues if you're like, hey, this happened. What do I do? I would, but I think you would be.

[A]

I'm extremely paranoid when it comes to, like, kids. And so I'm like. I'm like, I don't want to.

[C]

I've seen you hold him and play with him. You'd be absolutely fine. And you, too.

[A]

Cool.

[C]

But he was so little.

[D]

I know. He was little mister.

[C]

Now he's. Now he's big mister that climbs all over you.

[D]

Yes. I actually would like to come over this weekend.

[C]

Would love that. And I would love that.

[A]

Yeah. I mean, can I teach him karate?

[C]

Of course.

[A]

Cool.

[C]

Yes, please.

[A]

What's up?

[D]

You want to teach him karate?

[A]

Can I teach him karate? That's a reasonable ask.

[C]

That's such a slip it in, it's crazy.

[A]

Not a slip it in is what's funny, is it? It's not a slip it in.

[C]

So you can't lie.

[D]

So you can't. So you can't lie.

[A]

It's not a slip it in.

[D]

The rule is you can't lie.

[A]

Selena, is it a slip it in?

[C]

Nope. Fine.

[A]

It's not a slip it in. I was asking genuinely, can I Teach him karate.

[C]

Hiya. Yes, you can teach him karate.

[A]

Okay, great. Hiya, Kia.

[D]

Oh, do you know about the Kia Asylum?

[C]

Kia Asylum?

[D]

The Kia Asylum? No. Can I teach you about the Kia Asylum? What is that the Internet lore of the Kia Asylum?

[C]

No. What is that? It's something.

[D]

People buy a Kia, so when a pops. This is great. I'm glad I finally get to introduce you to something.

[C]

Hey, Amanda doesn't know.

[D]

Okay. So the Kia Asylum is a not real thing. It's an idea of, like, if you're like, a female pop star artist and you're not quite hitting popularity and you're kind of in this, like, like, Charlie XCX was in the Kia Asylum for a long time.

[C]

Does she know she's in it?

[D]

The girls usually know they're in the Kia Asylum. And she got out of the Kia Asylum with Brat, but now she's trying new experimental stuff as she used to do. And so, yeah, with. She's going back in to the Kia size. And so the Kia Asylum is called the Kia Asylum because of Kia, the singer of. Is she not. Is it not My neck. My back. I think that's Kia, my neck. It might be. Yes, it is. But her name is pronounced Kya, which is perfect because you're so unpopular that they don't know how to pronounce your name. This is the Internet. I'm not being rude. This is the Internet.

[A]

This is what the Internet says.

[C]

This is what the Internet says.

[D]

So the Kia Asylum is like a place where you, as a either upcoming or, like, trying for a long time pop star live until you hit some kind of mainstream thing.

[A]

I thought it was gonna be.

[C]

I just wanted to explain it to Zakia. That's kind of incredible. In a really bad way.

[A]

Yes, it is.

[C]

But also, like, who else is in there?

[A]

Well, probably tons of people.

[D]

Zara Larson was for a while.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Is.

[C]

Well, what's her name? White. She always raps.

[D]

I hate the name Iggy Azalea.

[C]

Yes.

[D]

No, Iggy Azalea's.

[A]

She's in hell.

[D]

Shipped away.

[C]

She's been shipped in a container somewhere else.

[D]

Yeah. And you know the tire mox. Tire mox. I'm.

[A]

Grab the Maya Mark.

[D]

What if I poop? Poop? You know that.

[A]

Oh, it's. You know about that. I was listening to it recently.

[B]

No.

[C]

What is it?

[D]

It's so good.

[C]

Who is it?

[A]

It's her at Alive. She's at a live event. She starts freestyling, and she does that and it's like, all right, welcome to another runaway train.

[D]

Poo poo pop.

[C]

I.

[D]

So she just. She's talking so fast and so loud that there aren't words anymore.

[C]

Oh, I love it.

[D]

And because if you're at the concert, you're just like, yeah. So the audience is like, woo. But if you listen to it, it's just like, excuse me.

[A]

Do you think as she was doing that, she was like, I'm the greatest of all time.

[D]

100%.

[A]

Like, the confidence that she does that. She's going like, taya mox. Taya mox. Yeah, look. It's kind of catchy.

[C]

Is she saying tire marks?

[D]

Tire marks?

[A]

I think so.

[D]

Tire marks. Tire marks on the train.

[C]

Pap smear. Pap smears. Something about this and says that she wasn't actually trying to freestyle. She was trying to rap a Kendrick Lamar song. And failing. Oh, that's even worse.

[A]

I can't even recognize it because no one can. I slipped it in, by the way.

[D]

God damn.

[C]

With what?

[A]

Iggy's Alia, I'm the greatest of all time.

[C]

Why would you get that phrase?

[A]

Seriously? Selena's were just like, I could play center. I'm the greatest of all time. I was like, mine's like, I have to say things that nobody's gonna believe.

[C]

Mine's like, I fart and it's nasty.

[A]

Yeah. No, mine are all, like, really positive things about myself.

[C]

I love that.

[D]

That's beautiful.

[A]

Which Selena obviously took as. This will be really hard for you to say to anyone. You leave.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Kia Asylum. Wow. I am now introduced to a whole new. I want to look it up.

[A]

I thought it was going to be that they are like, their songs are used in Kia commercials.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Like, that's where they. They're stuck.

[C]

Could you imagine?

[A]

There are. What I can't.

[C]

My back in a Kia.

[A]

What I can't on here is whenever people talk about, like, oh, this music sounds like. Like Target commercial music. Yeah, like Old Navy commercial music. And I'm like, oh, damn. So when I hear songs, I'm like, yeah, that does.

[D]

This is.

[A]

This is that. Which I sometimes really like, but you know. You know who I'm coming around to. And I was kind of like, not sure. But now lately, I'm like, this music rocks is Pink Panthers.

[D]

Oh, like, that's my Pink Panthers.

[A]

She's this British pop star and it's just like, I don't know. It's got. It's got like a vibe to it. And at first I was kind of like, I'm not into it. But that she has this new music video. Well, by the time this air is not that new, that girl like me and it's like very like 2005.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

And for some reason it clicked and I was just like, you know what? I dig her vibe now I'm. I'm in. And also she's. She's got that red carpet interview where someone comes up to her and they're like, they're like, you're looking incredible tonight. She just goes, yeah, I say that.

[C]

I love that. Yeah, I love that.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I think I probably know whatever song. She sounds familiar. She can't sing it here.

[A]

I know.

[D]

The vibe is like I'm sitting on the bus, I'm a 14 year old girl with my Tamagotchi and I'm bopping my head with my.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

Accurate.

[D]

You know, it's like, it's like a cool vibe. But you're like, yeah, yeah, popular girl, but like back.

[C]

I love that.

[A]

Definitely. Definitely.

[D]

Okay. I'd love to talk about reality TV shows a little bit.

[C]

I'm.

[A]

Yeah, I love to talk about reality tv. I don't watch a ton of it. I'm only watching Love island as of right now.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

By the time this airs, that'll been going for weeks, probably.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

It's gotten insane. Maybe it's gotten not. It's. I love having one reality show that I watch where I'm like, I'm not

[D]

thinking and it's just this.

[A]

I'm just. Because otherwise I, you know, the show's just.

[C]

I feel like I get trapped. Like it feels never ending and never.

[D]

Yeah, it's. It can be rough. I don't know if it's really, really messy that I'm in. But. Okay. If you were to be cast in a reality TV show, obviously we can't do the Love ones. What reality TV show would you like to be cast in? Because I'd love to be cast in a reality show. I think that'd be really cool.

[A]

Traitors.

[D]

Traitors would be fun for me too. Yeah.

[A]

Who?

[C]

What else? What's the other?

[A]

I love thinking about who on the cast would do best at what. Reality shows.

[D]

Yeah. Because I wouldn't be good at Survivor. I slipped it in.

[A]

Fuck.

[C]

Fuck.

[D]

I'd love to be cast on a reality TV show.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I was like, okay. I mean, why did I go down that road?

[D]

Would I really.

[C]

I literally was like, wow, Tommy really wants to talk about reality.

[A]

This isn't fair because as a host of a podcast, how else would I say it? How else would I say it?

[C]

Honestly, you might be okay at Survivor.

[D]

No. So there's. The part that you forget is that you have to do physical things.

[C]

There are plenty of people who can't do physical things.

[D]

My heart's the size of an acorn. I cannot.

[C]

Honey, that is not true.

[A]

Well, I think you do pretty well at Traders.

[D]

I think I do okay at Traders.

[C]

I think you would struggle if you were, like, telling so many lies every single day. I think that would be hard.

[A]

You like. Well, there's. There's two. Two layers to the question, because there's. Would you be good on Traders as. And specifically a Trader or a faithful? Which would you be good at? And I don't know. I think I'd. I'm not. I'm honestly not sure. Because once you get in and you're in the production and it's so drawn out and it's going days, and you're. You're meeting all these people, I think it'd be fun to be a Trader. See, I. I'm always pissed when I'm watching Traders, when people get so, like, I can't believe you do this to me. I'm like, you guys all signed up for this game. It's so much fun. Like, I would get heated, but I also, like, love it. And I think why I would love to be a traitor. I would love to be a traitor and then get caught eventually, like, later on, because you get to give that speech.

[D]

Oh, the speech is so good.

[A]

And nobody did it better than, like, Boston Rob, where it's just, like, you can tell that he's in it for the love of the game, to be like, guys, I've told you from the beginning that I was a faithful. And all I can say is I was lying.

[C]

And everyone's just got me, whoa.

[A]

I'm a traitor to the end.

[D]

I loved Bob the Drag Queen's one. I swear to God. I told you, I swear to God that I am not a traitor. And then at the end, being like, but I don't believe in God. So

[A]

Bob the Drag Queen and Boston Rob both understood that. They're like, we are here to entertain people.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

And they crushed that.

[C]

Some people, man, they go. They're like, it's just crazy that you guys all came for me. And I, like, I said from the beginning, I'm a faithful. It's like, okay, yeah, go now.

[D]

Go now.

[C]

Do you want to keep the pillow?

[D]

I'll be keeping this pillow.

[C]

Okay, great.

[D]

I mean, like, have a feel. It's so very clearly hollow that you simply Must get in there. Okay, so that's not what I meant by have a feel, but is it not incredible?

[C]

Okay,

[D]

what time is it?

[C]

What time is it? It's five o'clock time and I'm gonna go crazy. This is my music video.

[D]

It's five o' clock time and I'm

[A]

gonna extra slip it in. Or are you just saying insane shit now? Five o'.

[B]

Clock.

[C]

It starts off at Smoshmouth, and I'm like, that's so crazy, man. I wish I knew what time. I wish I could have a drink. It's five o' clock somewhere, and I wish I could have a drink.

[A]

And it's like, boom, boom, boom.

[D]

Okay, next music video. Next music video. It's five o' clock time and he

[C]

put a ring on it.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Oh, boy.

[A]

The Pottery Barn version of Mega Man. Not a slip it in, by the way. That just none of that was a Slip it in my brain.

[D]

Can I have that?

[C]

Slip it out.

[D]

Any hole works.

[A]

Jesus.

[C]

Nobody liked that.

[D]

And nobody liked that.

[C]

So this mic is very low for me, but I'm gonna.

[A]

I am hoping you're making it. You're making it work.

[D]

It's like cuddling. Yeah.

[A]

You're figuring it out. That's okay.

[C]

I'm your guest. I do the whole pod like this. Yeah. It's been good to start my projects. I'm really into creative work.

[D]

Really upset.

[A]

We have the girl from the Ring here. She says she's working on some projects. She doesn't make that noise.

[D]

Yeah, she doesn't.

[C]

Oh, she doesn't.

[A]

She doesn't really make that noise.

[C]

So I watched the Ring once, and I'll never watch it again.

[D]

Okay, that's kind of me, too.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But I watched all the scary movies. Which crazy scary movie is coming back?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

There you go.

[D]

I heard my friend went to see it and she was like, it was what you'd expect. Oh, no, not great, but funny here and there and a blast. It's like, okay, great. That's what. That's the slot. It's supposed to be.

[A]

I have too many legitimate scary movies I need to watch. I'm behind. I need to watch Obsession still.

[C]

Same.

[A]

I need to watch Hokum. So good. I went and saw backrooms alone in theaters, and that was really fun. Yeah, But I'm obsessed with backrooms.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, love that. So good.

[D]

Would anyone dye their hair a different color?

[C]

Would anyone dyed their hair.

[D]

Would anyone dye their hair a different color?

[C]

You said, would anyone dyed their hair a different color?

[A]

Are you just Diving right into it.

[C]

So dyed is, like, already happened. But you asked the question as present,

[D]

would anyone dyed their hair a different color? No. Cause I re upped my blonde. You see.

[C]

By the way, I saw that and I thought it was really good and I didn't say anything.

[A]

Are you letting get away with that?

[C]

Slip it you.

[D]

I did not slip it in.

[A]

Wow. You just realized that?

[C]

Here's the thing. I think that was just Tommy's brain.

[A]

I think that's true. That is.

[D]

I puked and shot for two days straight. Give me a break.

[C]

Yeah. Can you believe it?

[A]

Recovering.

[C]

Okay. I actually do have a list of colors for my hair that I want to dye.

[D]

Oh, my God. Incredible. Please.

[A]

Have you ever dyed your hair?

[C]

Never. It would be crazy virgin hair if

[A]

you had, like, platinum blonde hair. I don't. I don't know what.

[C]

So I'm. I really wanted to do platinum, but everyone has scared the shit out of me saying it completely ruins your hair.

[D]

Yes, but do it.

[C]

So I want to do it.

[D]

Got to do it.

[C]

I want to do platinum and I really want to do lavender, like a pale purple.

[D]

That'd be really cool.

[A]

Do that first.

[C]

I think you still have to bleach it.

[D]

You're going to see what you look like blonde before you do the lavender. Anyway, I think you have to kind of make a decision on the day. I mean, your hair person's going to have to buy all the materials. So it's like, don't you know what I mean?

[C]

I want to. I also would really love to do, like a red.

[D]

Red would be like a smoky red. Not like a bumpy, bumpy, bumpy.

[C]

Not like a pink. Yeah, not like a. Is that like a clown?

[D]

Like a clown.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. Not like a Pippi Longstocking. Whoa, Old reference.

[A]

It'd be really funny if you had bright purple hair. Like lavender. Purple hair.

[C]

Like lavender. Like it almost looks like it's white, but it's not.

[A]

People would think you're online, but you're not.

[D]

Mrs. Lib over here.

[C]

Who the fuck is that? Who's that?

[D]

No, that isn't anyone.

[A]

Mrs. Lib

[D]

Like Lib, like liberal.

[C]

So why is he. Why is he laughing so hard?

[A]

I just think it's funny. That was funny.

[C]

Mrs. Lib is not on Google. I couldn't find her.

[A]

It's not a real person. It's not a real person.

[C]

I'm just so online, but I don't know anything about anime or video games. But my hair is purple. But it's not bright purple. No, it's not tinky winky. It's gorgeous lavender.

[A]

Whoa.

[C]

Okay, so that's kind of what I want. I want. I feel like that would look really sick.

[D]

I think it would.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I think it would look great. I really think it would look insane.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I feel like you've gotten to see with red hair when you. When you've done Team Rocket.

[D]

Yeah. And it does look good on you. It does compliment. Yeah.

[C]

I like. I liked that.

[A]

Pretty cool.

[C]

And that's, like.

[A]

It's just tough when you're an actor because then you're like, auditions and stuff.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, well, yeah.

[D]

That's why I redid my blonde.

[C]

Your blonde is very nice.

[D]

I took my headshots in blonde, and so I'm like, I guess I'm blonde now. I think, though, I would rather shave my head than be brunette again, though. Really? Yeah.

[C]

Just. I don't think brunette works for you, even though you were born with it.

[A]

Damn.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah. What?

[C]

Well, the blonde brings out your brown eyes.

[D]

Does it really?

[C]

Yes.

[D]

Oh, that's beautiful.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah. I do think I need a tan to. I slipped it in. Ah.

[C]

Which part? He's so good at this. Which part?

[D]

Shave my head before I go brunette.

[C]

I was like, dim. You're gonna shave your head? No, I am too invested in the situation.

[A]

That conversation perfectly went there, though.

[D]

Well, I planted my seeds, and I'm waiting for my crops to grow.

[C]

Get your seed out of our fat.

[A]

You guys have, like, oh, I shaved my head and stuff. Meanwhile, mines are like, I can play center. Yeah, I can play center. I measured myself this morning.

[C]

Selena's right there.

[D]

I'd have to shave my head before I go back to being a brunette. That's hard.

[C]

It's not that hard, but I believed it. And then I said something real, and you were like, oh, shit. O. No, I meant it.

[D]

No, I mean, like, I look back and I do, like, genuinely. Back to reality. I. Back to reality. I. Sorry. I'm doing that.

[A]

I think you wanted it to be robot voice. Back to reality. Slip it in.

[D]

Because that's what Eminem says, right?

[A]

Back to reality. Yeah, that's from myself.

[D]

You sound just, like, not stand his voice growing up.

[A]

Oh, by the way, I slipped it in when I. It was a little unfair, but I still slipped it in. I said the phrase out loud, which is, I measured myself this morning.

[C]

I didn't hear it.

[A]

I was.

[D]

Oh, you used the Selena.

[A]

I was like, Selena gave me pitches like this and this, and I just was honest.

[C]

So you.

[A]

How was I going to say, I measured myself this morning.

[C]

So what's crazy about that?

[A]

When I read that, I was like, what?

[C]

So you cheated?

[D]

Yeah. So you do the Tommy method. You gotta lay some seeds first, guys. How are penises feeling?

[C]

Yeah. And I would've said, how are. This morning.

[A]

How are penises feeling?

[C]

And let me tell you, 10 inches and above. What?

[A]

What?

[C]

What are you thinking about? Yeah.

[A]

Wanna give.

[C]

Wanna give y' all and st. Then again, dance.

[A]

Did you hear that? Jesus.

[C]

That's so a 2000s music video where it's like, did you hear that? Oh, my God. Let's turn it back on.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Songs used to. Okay, to be fair, Amanda, I hear what you're saying. Songs used to start with insane songs, stuff. It used to be like footsteps to be like. Like, what's going on? Let's hit it.

[D]

Hey, Bobby. Like, it used to be like. It's like, let's set the scene when

[C]

he hears it all the time where it's just like. And he threw that, you know, necklace off the ocean.

[A]

Yeah. Wild, wild west starts with, like, a two minute conversation between.

[C]

From the movie Wild wild west, son.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah, I've got one left, but I have no idea how I have. I would be able to get that in.

[A]

I have technically two left.

[C]

Oof.

[A]

Oh, wait, I have wolf. I have two left.

[D]

Yay.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah, it's pretty tough. Okay, guys.

[C]

Should have gotten it out early. Like me. I love to twerk.

[A]

No, you didn't even get I love to twerk.

[C]

I got. Wait, that's not even true. I literally slipped in.

[A]

Who's winning?

[C]

I slipped in pretty much all.

[A]

No, but we called her out on most of them.

[C]

No, you didn't. You did not call it out on. I would never let you babysit. You didn't call on. I love it when you do an impression. You didn't call on. We should get Vanessa Lachey on the show. You didn't call on. Oops, I just farted. And it was nasty, right?

[D]

Yes, we did.

[A]

Definitely.

[C]

You shut your mouth.

[D]

Yes, ma'.

[C]

Am.

[A]

We definitely.

[C]

You're so corny.

[D]

And that one as well, actually. So you got three.

[C]

So I got three and you guys got two.

[A]

I'm. I'm going to work my way there.

[D]

I can. I.

[A]

Can I talk? Speaking of corny, though, you know, it's one of my favorite clips of, like, recent years.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Was when Michael B. Jordan's on the red carpet and this interviewer comes up, like, to interview him and. And she's like, oh, my gosh, Michael B. Jordan. He's like, yeah, we went to high school together. You called me corny, and she's just like. And he's truly just like, no. Like, I'm not letting that slide. You bullied me in high school. Like, I'm not awesome. Imagine. Imagine making fun of someone in high school and they turn out to be Michael B. Jordan.

[C]

That sucks.

[A]

You're just like.

[C]

That's why you don't make fun of people in high school. People.

[A]

Because you never know who's gonna become Michael B. Jordan.

[D]

Yeah, he went to my college.

[C]

Michael B. Jordan is slipping in, like.

[A]

No, I just. I just want to talk about my.

[D]

It can't be for me.

[C]

Should we turn this back on? Beep, beep, beep. Michael B. Jordan.

[D]

Attention. Michael B. Jordan's on the ufo. We won't whale.

[A]

This is how you, like, go right into it.

[C]

Hey, that's a real song.

[A]

Okay, I know.

[D]

I'm thinking I'm gonna move.

[A]

And that also starts with, like, a dance.

[C]

Okay, That's a slip it in because it was so sad.

[A]

What'd you say?

[D]

What did you say?

[A]

What did you say?

[C]

I think I'm gonna move back to Florida. It was so sad. And he thought he would do it under the radar. Even though I can't see your face, I can hear you.

[D]

What do you mean? Is there something in the way?

[C]

Wait, was that a slip it in?

[D]

Yeah, because who.

[C]

Who would move?

[D]

It's like. It's like, guys, I'm gonna bury myself alive after this.

[C]

Everyone's like, oh, big fear of mine.

[D]

Big fear, too.

[C]

Big fear.

[D]

Yeah. Although part of me is like, I could kill Billet, but no, you can't.

[A]

No.

[D]

She's like, oh, yeah. And then she climbs out of the dirt.

[C]

Doesn't she do this?

[D]

Yes. She goes.

[A]

It's all. It's. It's pretty entertaining, though.

[D]

Oh, I love.

[A]

There's definitely, like, the toxic male. Deep within me, especially when I was younger has this thought of, like, if I'm put into a situation like that, I'll just go psycho mode and I'll break out.

[D]

I'll use all of my power.

[A]

It's like the chosen. It's like the chosen thing of, like, in those moments, it's like, if I was buried alive, I would just be like. I would just use all of my strength and I would.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Bust open the earth.

[C]

That's a slip it in one.

[A]

No, it's not.

[C]

Psycho mode.

[A]

Psycho mode. I've said psycho.

[C]

The earth. None of that was to slip it in.

[D]

She busts in the earth all the time.

[C]

Okay, so I looked at you. Judgmental.

[D]

Yeah. He puts him in, lets the little guy out.

[C]

What little guy?

[D]

Well, how are penises doing today, guys?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't worry. I measured this. How tall are you?

[D]

I measured myself this morning.

[C]

10 inches.

[A]

When I read all of them, I was like. I measured myself this morning. Like Selena. What's wrong with you? What's going on?

[C]

She thought it would be funny because you are short.

[D]

Sorry.

[A]

You're out of your slipping ins.

[D]

You're just saying that.

[C]

This is just me.

[A]

You're just saying that for real.

[D]

Sorry.

[C]

I don't mean that you're short. You're actually a wonderful height, Shane.

[A]

No, it's okay.

[C]

People do it because they don't know what else to make fun of you about. Because there's nothing to make fun of you about. You're a brilliant, wonderful guy. Yeah, we gotta figure out how to cross your legs, but you're a great guy.

[D]

And then you go slipped an in.

[C]

Slipped it in.

[A]

No, I'm not. I'm not offended by it.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

I'm not. Just so you know.

[D]

Oh, no. He's upset.

[C]

He is upset. He will not talk to me. Well, we'll leave here and have, like, good episode.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. I'll say. Great. You guys reading any good books lately?

[C]

Yes. What's going on?

[A]

That's a genuine question that I want to ask. I haven't. I've not talked about the books that I've read this year at all.

[D]

Yeah, we really haven't. I haven't heard.

[C]

You do, so. You do the same thing. I listen to an audiobook that's a completely different genre.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And I read usually Romantasy, but I listen to Koenigse. Completely different genre book.

[A]

Interesting.

[C]

So I just finished the Line Women of Tehran. So good. Whoa. And I'm now on a new book that's called you'd deserve to know. And Dateline interviewed the writer because apparently this is a true story that she was involved in. And she wrote the book based off the story, but she fictionalized it. Why are you laughing?

[A]

Just cause we're having a genuine conversation after all the silly shit that we've done.

[C]

What did you slip in?

[A]

I did not slip anything in.

[D]

He's planning on it.

[C]

That's my. That's. That's what I'm listening to. I'm listening to. You Deserve to Know.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

It just started.

[D]

I need a new book. And by new book, I mean I read one book for and tried to Write?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

It was called My Year of Rest and Relaxation.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

An atrocious book. I couldn't put it down. I could not put it down. It was so well written. I was like, I need to keep eating.

[A]

It's funny, right? Is it funny?

[D]

It's quirky. I mean, it's not really funny. It's just like, you can't stop reading it. And then afterward, I was like, well, this was a miserable experience. I don't know. It was just like. I was like, I loved reading that book, and it was a miserable experience. And now it sits on top of my air conditioner because it has a light on it that shines all in the middle of the night. So a book needs to be on top of it so it doesn't shine so I can go to bed and it's covered in dust. I tried reading the book. I tried reading after that, and this is how long ago this was. Was. It just came out with Ryan Gosling.

[A]

Oh, oh, Project Hail Mary. I love that book.

[D]

I open the book and there's a diagram of the ship. And I went, okay. Then you go to the next little, like, picture. Then you go to the next. Well, then you go to the next page. And it's like, woke up from my coma. Well, that just happened. It's like, gotta do math. Okay. This is crazy. I bet you're wondering how I got here. And I was like, I. I can't.

[A]

He's a teacher.

[D]

Like, he's legitimately. He's legitimately Chungus book.

[C]

I'm dying.

[A]

I think the cringing aspect of that character makes sense because he's like, a teacher.

[D]

He's like, seeing it on camera and him being like, I'm gonna do a little dance as I leave. I'm like, okay, so this is where this all works and, like, equates. But when I'm reading it and people are like, this is the best sci fi book I've ever seen.

[A]

I mean, it is.

[D]

It's like, going, going. I can't.

[A]

Because I've read a lot of sci fi and sci fi usually is so serious.

[D]

Yes.

[A]

Like, especially hard sci fi. So reading a hard sci fi that's kind of like quirky and silly.

[D]

I can see how that was.

[A]

Like, what's crazy is the science when they get into it. So I to my understanding is like, very based in, like, hard science.

[D]

Yes, yes.

[A]

And especially, like, spoiler alert. But, like, when he starts talking to Rocky in the book, they really detail out how they figure out how to Communicate. And it's so fun.

[C]

I've never seen it.

[D]

I'm sure I'm listening.

[A]

Whatever.

[C]

How dare you?

[D]

All right, I'm sure I'm listen.

[C]

Although I love this review, I know

[D]

I'm wrong about this book.

[A]

No, it's okay.

[D]

Let me put that out there. I know I'm incorrect about my feelings.

[A]

No, you are. It's subjective.

[D]

I just have. I have so many walls and barriers to get into a book. Of course it's a problem for me. It's gotta be gripping, it's gotta be well written. It can't chungus me out.

[C]

Books are subjected to fame. Sick.

[D]

No.

[C]

Lena Dunham's book.

[D]

I really wanna read a book right now.

[A]

I'm good on how it wants to read. Can I pitch one? That is.

Points Cap Apply the 1 I'm reading, it's just. It's like an easy book to read. Right? So if you're getting back it, like, I mean, like.

[D]

So when you're like. So there's this thing called the Alphabet.

[A]

No, no, what I mean is, you

[C]

know when you have the Bible read

[A]

to be motivated to. Yeah, I've been finally reading the Bible lately. But, you know, if. If you haven't been reading for a long time and you need a book that's like, you're going to be motivated to read is what I mean. That's. That's what I mean. I'm reading this book called Dungeon Crawler Car.

[C]

I was just going to say that you should read that book and it.

[D]

What is it called?

[A]

Dungeon Crawler Car. That's why I slipped it in.

[C]

What?

[A]

I'm finally trying to read the Bible. You teed it up for me. That was awesome. You teed that.

[D]

You teed up a. Slip it in.

[A]

You said, yeah, the Bible. I said, yeah, I'm finally trying to read the Bible. I was like, thank you. Thank you for that.

[D]

Amanda, was this what you were trying to get to all along?

[A]

Yeah, I started talking about books so I could get to the Bible.

[C]

I helped you with the power of God.

[D]

Thank you.

[A]

Yes. The power of God.

[C]

That is because you never talk about the Bible. And I bring up the Bible maybe once a year because I have to. To pay him.

[D]

To pay him.

[A]

My firstborn son.

[C]

Ha. That's crazy.

[A]

But, no, it's a very fun, silly book.

[C]

I heard it's Crawler Carl.

[A]

It is Hunger Games meets. Meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[D]

Okay. How Chungus is it? From one to Chungus?

[A]

It's not. It's not as Chungus as Project.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

I don't know. I think. I think it's definitely, like, comedic.

[A]

And, like, sometimes reading comedy books are tough because, like, the way that comedy translates on a page is so different than if you can, like, perform it.

[C]

Maybe he should.

[A]

I. There's parts that make me laugh. There's also parts that I'm like, all right, like, cool, but. But, like, I'm entertained by the story a lot. It's. It's one of those books that you read and you're like, wow, people are allowed to write whatever they want.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And it's just as wacky as it gets.

[D]

Okay. I do love, like, a. A mystery, a psychological situation, too. So if anyone's got any of that.

[A]

Oh, I could probably find a. For you.

[C]

Yeah, I definitely have some.

[A]

I could probably.

[C]

Alice Feeney does a lot of really good mystery books, but. Okay. There's a lot of mystery books out there that are like, suburbia white woman mystery book. Or like, you know, the other type of mystery book.

[D]

Right. Do you have Slippin it?

[A]

I have one.

[C]

You guys know what I'm talking about?

[A]

I have one.

[C]

It's either suburbia rich white woman. Right.

[D]

It's the house.

[C]

Or the others mysteries.

[A]

Yeah. Because there was, like. There was the God of the woods that came out last year that was really popular, which is like a. A girl goes missing at a summer camp, and it's like a big, like, who?

[C]

Harley Coban. Does really good mystery books.

[D]

Harvey Coban.

[A]

That's a. You're out of Slip it in. But that's not real.

[C]

He's a Jersey.

[D]

Harley Cobin.

[C]

Harley Cobin. Harvey Coban.

[A]

Harley Cobin.

[C]

You know what, Tommy? You're done. What about yesteryear?

[D]

Don't know.

[C]

Shut up. Oh, yeah.

[A]

Everybody's talking about yesterday.

[C]

It's like, trad wife. Trad wife. Time machine. That's all you need to know.

[D]

Okay. I could.

[C]

I could.

[D]

I could probably.

[C]

But you like mystery, like, psychological.

[D]

I'm iffy on. On suburbia.

[C]

Me too.

[D]

So, like, also, I'm open to things that are just good because I can just watch things, you know.

[A]

Oh, actually, the book that I read this year that I think you would love because it's all short stories and it just follows a character. Each one is rejection. It's this incredible book.

[D]

It's not that book Rory was talking about.

[A]

Yeah, it's very good. Every chapter is like a different type of person that you know. And it's so well done. And it's like, it is cringy to read. Cause the characters are so fleshed out. That's a very genuinely funny book.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I loved rejection.

[C]

So you could have that.

[D]

I could have that. Or I do want, like a gripping. Yeah, like, basically it's like I want to get back into reading books. And I need a book that I can't put down. And luckily, my year of rest and relaxation was a book I could not put down. Unfortunately, it was a miserable book that ended up. There was a final page that was like. And also. And I'm like, come on.

[A]

Well, the good. When this. When this airs, when this episode's out. I bet you if you look at the comments of this video.

[D]

Oh, yes, exactly.

[A]

There will be plenty. Our fan base reads.

[C]

I watch. I read one a bit ago that was called in the woods by Harlan Copen. I thought that was a really good mystery.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah, I don't read a ton mysteries,

[C]

probably that I'm lacking on. The mystery thrillers are like my absolute. Me, my absolute favorite. There was. Okay, My husband's wife. I just listened to that. Sounds so cute.

[A]

And she's lovely and.

[C]

But I loved. I loved. I thought that book was really, really good. Also Alice Feeney.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

But again, it's like this suburbia white woman is really tough. I'm struggling with it and a lot of people are writing it. But let me tell you, those stories are messed up thrillery.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

So it might be good.

[D]

All right, let me.

[C]

Let me think of it more because I love thriller books.

[D]

I'll look into these and yeah, let me know in the comments if you have, like a cool mystery thriller, psychological. Like the animes that I like are all these, you know, horror, anime. I could also do horror.

[A]

I love horror.

[C]

You want to do a horror book?

[A]

I love horror.

[D]

I'd love to read a lot of horror books.

[C]

She's all just like furry.

[A]

I love horror books. I've read a lot. Whoa.

[D]

What?

[A]

Yeah, Yeah, I love horror books. I was going to pitch if you wanted to read strange pictures or strange. There's a really cool Japanese author who is doing this very new type of writing, like, novel, where it's like, a lot of imagery with writing and it's really, really entertaining because it's like, basically strange buildings. I love the, like, start of it. I didn't know unless I love where it went. But it was like, about. He's writing about how a friend of his was looking at a new apartment, and he sends him the. The blueprint of the layout of the apartment. He's like, isn't there something weird about this? And you then turn a page and there's just this blueprint of this apartment. A diagram and a diagram. But. But he's like. He's like. He's like, did you know? And like, it's kind of like, interactive because he's like, tell me, do you notice anything strange about this? And you're looking at it, it's like, I don't notice anything. But then it's like, no. Do you notice, like, this doorway doesn't lead to, like, the right thing?

[D]

Okay. I'm kind of.

[A]

And you start to build out of, like, what's going on. And that's how he does all of his books is like, so strange pictures. I like strange pictures more because it's. Here's an image. He's like, do you notice anything strange about this image? And then, like, keeps going.

[D]

And, like, does it build to anything?

[A]

Yes. Strange pictures. I liked where the story went more, but strange buildings, I think is the more famous one, but they both go crazy.

[D]

Okay, I could lend them.

[A]

I could lend them to you.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

Oh, wait, I did. I dropped. No, I still have them at home. I could lend them to you.

[C]

Oh, my God. He's going to lend you a book.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Wow.

[A]

I'm gonna lend you a book.

[C]

When you lend someone a book, do you expect it back, like, promptly, or are you like. I'm letting it. Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay. What are your book rules? How. How much can I.

[C]

Very good.

[D]

Crinkle it.

[A]

I don't really genuinely.

[C]

Dog ear. Can you dog gear or not?

[A]

I don't think I would care if you dog ear. I don't necessarily like to break the backs of them.

[D]

I don't like to do that even when I'm not. Even when they're not.

[A]

Here's the thing. I want to be better about writing. Writing notes in books. I want to be better about writing things out. Because sometimes I read a book and then I don't remember much. And when I'm looking back, I'm like. And so I think it's good, like, more not necessarily to look back and read, but like, as to like really ingest it.

[C]

Really.

[A]

I think that's. I. Yeah, I. I strive to do that more. The problem is once I like get halfway through a book and I'm like, oh, I should do that. I'm like, I'm already halfway.

[C]

I'm already halfway.

[A]

I need to commit to that.

[C]

See, I like to. I like to break the book because I want it flipped.

[A]

You want it messed up that it's like one.

[C]

I want my book kind of fucked

[A]

up like a pizza.

[C]

I don't mind it dog eared. Yeah.

[D]

Boom.

[A]

I don't care what people do with their books. I think there's a charm to really lived in messed up books.

[C]

I like it and I like giving books. I like letting people borrow books and I usually don't need them back.

[A]

I dropped off almost all the books I read last year. I dropped off in a box yesterday or a few days ago. And they're all gone. Everybody. Luckily, so many people here read that I can always just shocking.

[C]

And now you'll be one of them.

[A]

And now you will join them.

[C]

I will say reading has saved me in a lot of ways. I really started aggressively reading when I got pregnant and it is what. It's such an incredible thing. I think as a kid you're like forced to do summer reading of books that you want to do. I really hated it because it wasn't enjoyable.

[A]

Yeah, no. I'm a disappointment.

[D]

Force you to do it.

[C]

They force you to do it. And it's. Some books are really good, but like where the Red Fern Grows, that will remain in me. And it's the saddest book I've ever read to this day.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Can you help me out here?

[A]

Well, this would be great.

[D]

Thank you.

[A]

And I mean, I.

[C]

Do you want to talk?

[D]

Yes.

[A]

And I'll teach Cole how to read.

[C]

Oh, my God, I would love that.

[D]

That's a slip in.

[A]

That's a slip it in.

[D]

It's not a slip it in.

[C]

Okay, but what's coming is a slip it in because he only has five minutes.

[A]

You can't do that.

[C]

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I would. I'm very, very excited about Cole reading. I cannot wait. I want to do like Lord of the Rings series. That's too scary.

[A]

Lord of the Rings is probably a little advanced.

[C]

Yeah, yeah. No, for sure.

[A]

Just. Just like it's boring.

[C]

No, for sure.

[A]

Not. Not like it's genuinely probably boring.

[C]

Of course.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

I won't do it.

[A]

Yeah, you're fine. There's Tons of great books for him to read. Though eventually I might get a little list from you. Oh, absolutely, I would. Cause my nieces and nephew I've bought a lot of books for.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

A lot of books. A lot of mangas. Mangas are great too, because they're a little bit easier.

[C]

Oh, I should do that then.

[D]

I have books I can give.

[C]

Really?

[D]

Yeah, I have some books.

[C]

What kind of books? Like baby books or like a little bit older? Cause we got a lot of baby

[D]

books for the age that he's growing into.

[C]

Okay, perfect. That would be great.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

One year old books.

[C]

Half our books are in Russian.

[D]

Guys. Sometimes a book has.

[A]

He's reading Leo Tolstoy, Dostoevsky.

[C]

Not yet.

[D]

Is he reading?

[C]

No, he's reading like a book with

[A]

a cat has like Crime and Punishment for Little Babies.

[C]

Pride and Prejudice.

[A]

That's not Russian.

[D]

That's not Russian.

[A]

That's Jane Austen.

[C]

I know.

[A]

You can't. I love my 18th century literature, so you don't slide that past me.

[C]

Okay? That's a slip it in.

[A]

It's not a slip it in.

[C]

See, now I'm just on alert.

[A]

Yeah. You guys okay, we're. Everything I say. Hey, everything I say, I really do want to hear.

[C]

I do want to hear in the comments. Like your guys favorite thriller book right now.

[D]

Yes.

[C]

Your favorite Romantasy and your favorite, like. Whoa, what book?

[D]

That's what I'm interested in. All of them. But the Romantasy part, that's fine.

[C]

You don't need Romantasy.

[A]

Yeah, you don't need that.

[C]

You could have it.

[D]

I could have it.

[C]

I will say I'm still waiting to read this book, but two of my friends said it's the saddest book they've ever read. But it's so good. A little life.

[A]

Yeah, I've heard it's really, really sad.

[C]

That's what everyone keeps saying. But isn't that weird that I kind of want to read it?

[A]

Yeah, it's probably really worth it.

[C]

Second sob.

[D]

Sometimes you need a little vehicle to sob on the crowd.

[A]

Sometimes you need some cry. Yeah, it's tough when there's a book that there are. People are like, this book is amazing. It is dependent, depressing as hell. And you look at it 600 pages and you're just like for a month. Yeah. Anyways, can I teach Cole how to do a Boston accent?

[C]

You know what? Sure.

[D]

Yeah, that sounds great.

[C]

Shane, can you give me an example of your best Boston accent that you would teach Cole?

[A]

Man, Cole, this Diablo 2 is wicked hot.

[C]

Whoa. Where are you from?

[A]

[C]

There you go.

[A]

Yeah, Now I'm here. Yeah, now I'm here.

[D]

Yeah.
