Shane
Welcome back to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.
Amanda
And I'm Amanda and we have our special guest here, Spencer Agin you.
Shane
That's right, Spencer is back. Spencer, you haven't been here since we lied Amanda into believing five nights at Freddy's is a true story.
Spencer
Since the bite of 23.
Amanda
No, the bite of 23.
Shane
That's good, man.
Amanda
Since you straight up lied to me and then we had to play five nights at Freddy's.
Spencer
You were forced.
Amanda
I was forced and I had so much fun. Shane gave me the controllers and didn't tell me how to play and I had so much fun.
Spencer
No, that was. It's one of my favorite videos we've done in such a long time.
Shane
Oh, dude, it was so good.
Amanda
I watched the whole thing and I was dying laughing. Yeah, I can feel the tension. It's a really scary. But I can feel when I get the controller that I'm just like you guys both.
Spencer
Yeah. I mean, to me it's almost like. And I hope we can do way more of it because in a way it's really fun to see you especially. It's like showing someone one of your favorite movies. Not that it's one of my favorite games, but it's so great seeing. It's like taking someone to Disney for the first time. It's like, oh no, you gotta see this ride. You gotta see this ride. You gotta. And seeing their reaction that's it's almost better than doing it yourself.
Shane
Yeah, no, and it did really well. And we said, if we get 50,000 likes, we'll play five nights at Freddy's 2. We surpassed that by a lot. And people loved it because I think it's a game that so many people have played at this point that watching someone play it for the first time is very rare nowadays. So it actually was kind of perfect. And your comments were so great. Like, people were pointing out you had certain, like, quotes where you're like, is chica a baby or a woman? And people were like, exactly.
Amanda
Very different. If she's a baby, it's very different.
Shane
There was a comment that was like, they nailed the, like, Five Nights at Freddy's checklist of, like, getting one of the names wrong, getting one of the genders wrong, like, doing something wrong with the power. Overusing the power, underusing the power. We did everything perfectly right. It was insane.
Amanda
My favorite part is when you give me the controller to the end. You're like, yay, Amanda's playing five Nights at Freddy's. Yay. And then I'm like, yeah, I'm killing it.
Shane
And then Amanda is actively playing five Nights at Freddy's.
Amanda
What's his name? Wiley the Coyote. Foxy.
Spencer
Here's the thing. I was not gonna let that video end until you guys got the Foxy jump scare because that's the most iconic. The, like, everyone, like, not everyone remembers, but it's like, you know, the shot of Foxy, like running down the hallway, it's so iconic because the rest of the game, like, and there's such a big chance that you don't even see that. Like, you never see them move. Like, it's always like kind of an implied movement.
Amanda
And so for them, just like do.
Spencer
Like a full on sprint down the hallway is so fucking. It's funny.
Shane
Insane. And then we also apparently got like a one in a thousand chance Easter egg when we first played when Freddy's face appears.
Spencer
Like the glitches thing.
Shane
Glitches. Apparently. That is like one in a thousand.
Amanda
Okay, wait, did we figure out what the little, like, white thing was towards the door? It looks like a little skeleton.
Shane
That's just you going crazy.
Spencer
Yeah, that didn't happen. That didn't happen, man.
Amanda
Okay, let's wait until we play Five Nights at Freddy's version 2. Is there a name to it?
Shane
It's Five Nights at Freddy's 2.
Amanda
Okay. By Scott Cawthon.
Shane
Yes. Hey, you're basically a FNAF fan now.
Amanda
Matpat. And I are.
Spencer
Did you see? Matpat commented on it. No, Matpat commented on the video.
Shane
He said, please, you have a chance at normal, healthy lives. Don't go down this path.
Amanda
Oh, I'm too beyond. Like, once I was like, okay, but who are we? What are we about? And then you're like, that's our Matpat. And I was like, oh, because if.
Shane
You play all the games, I don't think you're going to know all that lore. It's. It's something you kind of have to.
Amanda
Actually, I now need. I think I need to go and watch Matpat's YouTube about the lore about who we are.
Shane
You could.
Spencer
There's all good advice against that.
Amanda
Why?
Spencer
Initially, like, because, like, I think, okay.
Shane
Let'S play all the games first.
Spencer
Yeah, Like, I want you guys to play them all first and, like, kind of come up with your own, like, explanation. Explanation.
Amanda
Ooh, I love that.
Spencer
Because, like, that would be really cool.
Shane
I know it all. I know too much. But I want to hear your.
Amanda
What's her name again? Mike.
Shane
Mike Schmidt. Right. It's Mike Schmidt.
Amanda
I kind of feel like Mike Schmidt did something not so great. And he still lives with his mom and he got this job on a whim or something like that. And he's just trying to find meaning in his life, and he got this job and he's like, ah, I guess I. I guess I'll do this job. And then it's just his nightmare. But it is his goal to be like, mom, I did something that you're proud of. He has to survive.
Spencer
It's an interesting theory.
Shane
That's what you think, the protagonist?
Amanda
Yeah. Either that or he's just, like, a slobbery nasty.
Shane
Maybe a bit of both.
Amanda
I mean, his desk is disgusting, but also, maybe he's just stressed or maybe it was left from the other guy who keeps calling.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
I had so much. You know me, I love the backstory of everything. But I was really interested in Chica.
Shane
Wait.
Spencer
Cause there's in the. I think it starts in five nights at Freddy's, too. But there's a lot of, like, flashbacks. And that's where you kind of first, like, start piecing together, like, the.
Amanda
Wait, there's flashbacks? Okay, I'm not gonna research anything because.
Shane
I wanna be surprised how many in the official games. There's two, there's three. Is that. And there's four and five.
Spencer
And then there's, like, security breach one and two.
Shane
Oh, my gosh.
Spencer
There's sister. Sister. Location Might Be like a numbered one. But yeah, there's. There's a lot it makes me think.
Amanda
That I read really messed up true crime stories. To think that that was real, that this guy killed kids and put them in animatronics. Is that.
Shane
It's not. I will say, unfortunately, I don't think it's that far fetched. Like, I don't think it's. I've heard true crime stories that are worse than that, sadly.
Amanda
Yeah, but you guys lied to me.
Shane
But it is still. Yeah, it's more insane. What was funny about it was that the five Nights at Freddy's movie was out. And then like this game is just so. It's just so in the zeitgeist. But. And we're gonna get into this in a second. It's on specific parts of the Internet that you're just not on. Like it's certain communities on Twitter and Reddit and YouTube that know all about this and it's talking about non stop and you're just not, you're not into those places so you're not gonna know about it. But you had such. You had a great time playing it. You actually are a fan of playing the game.
Amanda
I had so much fun playing it. And I shared the video to my sister and she was like, dude, this video is so great. I want to play this game.
Spencer
Is that how she talks?
Amanda
Kinda.
Spencer
That's pretty cool.
Amanda
She does kind of talk like that. She always wears like a forward cap.
Shane
That's awesome.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Whoa.
Amanda
You look just like my sister Spencer.
Spencer
Thank you. Thank you.
Shane
Are you Amanda's sister?
Spencer
Yeah.
Amanda
Are you my mother?
Spencer
Yeah.
Amanda
But I loved playing it. I loved playing it because it was all my favorite things. It was like horror, weird things. And then like playing it with you was so fun because I kept ruining your life. I was like, explain to me what is happening. You were like, I don't know. And like Alex and Spencer were there and it was just. I loved it.
Spencer
I like watching Shane play these games because he does not have to play up getting scared at all. Like he's truly just that scared of these.
Shane
I, I get, I get so tense because I hate jump scares. I hate jump scares. Especially in a video game where you are in control, right? A movie you're just watching and you're like, okay, like I'm watching this movie, a video game. You're like, okay, if I make the wrong decision, then it's gonna jump out at me. And you're just sitting there like, oh, and the headphones.
Amanda
Brutal.
Shane
Cause there's so much to do with sound in that game. And I was like, yeah, you and.
Amanda
Me play very differently. Like you're like. And I'm kind of like that too. But I was watching back when I got the controls. I was like, you locked in. I was so locked in. That's why I feel like if I go down the video game route, you're never going to see me.
Spencer
No. And that's what. That's what I'm trying to do.
Amanda
No. I'm going to be trying to ruin your life now.
Shane
I'm a gamer. Your husband's going to come home. You're going to be playing Resident Evil 8.
Amanda
No.
Shane
Get out.
Amanda
I can't. He plays Dota and then watches donors phone. I was like, no, no.
Shane
That's an intense game. No, he's a gamer. He loves Dodo, capital G. That's some intense shit, man.
Amanda
Not me.
Shane
That's beyond me. That's on another level. But you aren't in those spheres because. And you've explained to us and I've made fun of you a bunch in recent episodes. What you love is people.com.
Amanda
Correct.
Shane
You check it every day.
Amanda
Every day.
Shane
We got here this morning at 9am and you said you'd already read everything.
Amanda
I've already read. Guess what? It updates.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
And there's top stories that change.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
So I have to check it at the end of the day.
Shane
Spencer, do you keep up with celebrity gossip at all? I feel like I just hear about it. I don't look for it.
Amanda
I feel like you don't.
Shane
I don't look for it, but I hear about it just. Cause it ends up on the Internet. Like if it ends up on Twitter or Reddit, I'm gonna see it at some point.
Amanda
I feel like that's cool. Celebrity news. Whereas like people.com is the celebrity news that like 50 and above love hearing about. And me. Do you know what I'm saying?
Shane
And also me.
Amanda
Spencer.
Spencer
There was a moment I saw both of my parents over Christmas break and my dad knew that. Yeah. Flex. No. And my dad knew that Jewel was seeing. Not Dennis Quaid, the other guy.
Amanda
Not Dennis.
Spencer
Yellowstone.
Amanda
Yellowstone, yeah. Kevin Costner.
Spencer
Kevin Costner.
Amanda
Jewel and Kevin. That's old man.
Spencer
And my mom was like, I don't. And my mom was like, really? Like that's. And I just thought it was really funny that my dad knew and that my mom didn't know.
Shane
I thought Kevin Costner was married.
Spencer
Apparently not until like Shane, get your shit together.
Amanda
They went through a tumultuous divorce over weeks. She wanted the house, she wanted money consistently. He was so upset.
Spencer
What a bitch.
Amanda
He left.
Shane
That was in the article.
Amanda
He left Yellowstone. In parenthesis it has that.
Shane
What a bitch.
Amanda
He left Yellowstone.
Shane
He left Yellowstone.
Amanda
He's done with Yellowstone.
Spencer
Oh, bro, he went to Sequoia.
Amanda
You're. You're dumb.
Spencer
He started a new show, Yosemite.
Amanda
Literally everyone said like, oh, why is Kevin Costner leaving?
Spencer
He's on the actual waterworld ride now.
Shane
That's working. It's working.
Amanda
You're so dumb.
Shane
He dies the first day of working. I had. No, no, I just. So that's the type of stuff I don't know.
Amanda
So you just don't know.
Shane
I know, like slight things.
Spencer
Wait, I can keep riffing on this. He's rebooting the Postman.
Shane
Oh, good.
Amanda
Wait, what?
Spencer
Wasn't that. Not him.
Shane
No. He's rebooting Tin cup in real life.
Amanda
Can I tell you? Can I tell you that? Tin Cup. So we used to go to like drive in movie theaters. That's like a big thing on the east coast. You probably know that, right?
Spencer
I know. What?
Amanda
I've seen Grease, ma'am. What?
Shane
He's from Florida.
Amanda
So anyways, we went to a drive in movie theater. I was too young. My dad had this like big white beat up van and he. We had to like not watch the movie. Him and my mom wanted to go see Tin Cup. The most fucked up thing I've ever heard. Him. My mom wanted to go see. Well, we were on vacation in the Cape. Him and my mom wanted to go see Tin Cup. And they were like, it's two.
Spencer
They make you look the other way.
Amanda
Are you girls have to like play cards in the back of the van?
Shane
You girls, you can't know what golf is exactly. Like go to the back.
Amanda
So we play cards or whatever. Play like spit and the spit. Yeah. The moment I get up to be like, dad, I'm tired is when Kevin Gosner has a gun in his ass.
Spencer
I thought that movie was about golf.
Shane
Yeah. What the hell?
Amanda
It gets really dark for once scene. And that's the only scene that I've seen.
Shane
I. Okay. That makes me think of something though, because I was at my parents house for Christmas and I was like watching. I was watching Blue Eyed Samurai.
Amanda
Best show ever.
Shane
That show is so awesome. But I knew from the first episode, I'm like, oh, there's nudity in this.
Amanda
There's.
Shane
There's nudity in sex and stuff.
Amanda
There's a lot.
Shane
And I'm watching it And I'm just like. My parents are. They are. It's. I don't know what it is. They're going to show up right when people are naked.
Spencer
Is it animated?
Shane
It's animated, but it's.
Spencer
Dude, nice.
Amanda
Have you not seen it?
Spencer
No, it's actually.
Shane
It might be my favorite show of last year.
Amanda
It is my favorite show of last year.
Shane
Unbelievable.
Amanda
They're already renewed for a season two.
Spencer
Is it an anime?
Amanda
Yeah, it's anime, dude. I like anime.
Spencer
In her anime era.
Amanda
I love anime.
Spencer
I did not know this.
Amanda
Oh, yeah.
Shane
Really good. I didn't love the animation at first, but towards the end I was like, they had to animate it this way for how they shot it.
Amanda
That's my favorite type of animation.
Shane
I love it because it's this, like, pseudo 3D. It's like an interesting. But no. My. My parents are so good at walking in right at the worst parts.
Amanda
Oh, God.
Shane
And they're like, God dang it. Like, what are you watching? What is this? Okay. It's just like, I. It's not this all the time.
Spencer
That was.
Amanda
I really want to know which part, but it's.
Shane
There are several sex scenes.
Amanda
Yeah, it's very. And I remember that you were like, oh, I finished with Samurai. And I remember recommending it to you. And then I remember thinking, it is extremely sexual show. Very sexual.
Shane
Very sexual.
Amanda
But it's so good. The lead is from PEN 15. PEN 15.
Shane
Mr. And Mrs. Smith.
Spencer
Oh, Maya.
Amanda
And a Disney star. Did not know that she was married to Macaulay Culkin.
Spencer
That's Brenda Song.
Shane
Brenda Song is also Brenda Song is in Blue Eyed Samurai. She's not the lead, though.
Amanda
No, I know she's not the lead. She's the princess. Yeah, I. Shane, I know.
Shane
Okay?
Amanda
I know.
Spencer
Did y'all see Asteroid City?
Shane
I tried.
Spencer
Well, there's a scene where I was watching it with both of my parents, and there's a scene where. Where Scarlett Johansson gets completely naked. I'm like, when does this stop being weird? Like, with my parents? But there's a really funny. Because she's like, oh, like, I'm about to do a nude scene. Like, in the context of the movie. She's like, I'm about to do a nude scene. And what's his fucking name? He's in every Wes Anderson movie. Jason.
Amanda
Jason Schwartzman.
Spencer
Jason Schwartzman has the funniest reaction to someone saying that they're going to get naked. And I was like, yeah, that was. That was. That was good.
Shane
I know. It'll never be I don't think. Not uncomfortable, though.
Amanda
Well, actually, I. I have watched a lot of movies where, like, it's wild and my dad's hurt. He's like, whoa, wow.
Spencer
Yeah. It was like, do I.
Shane
Does that help? Does that make it.
Amanda
It helps so much.
Shane
Yeah. To acknowledge it. When they're silent, you're sitting there just.
Amanda
Like, it's a nightmare. With my dad. We can watch it with my mom. She goes, oh, I remember when my dad told me to watch True Blood. He was like, you gotta watch True Blood on HBO back in the day. And I was like, okay, it's two vampires having sex, and one of them breaks the neck and turns it back to look at them while they're having sex. And my mom walks in and she goes, what is this? And I said, it's dad's favorite show. She's like, this is awful.
Shane
Yeah, they're vampires.
Spencer
Wait, so the head fix?
Amanda
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Head fix says itself.
Spencer
That's crazy.
Amanda
Have you never seen True Blood?
Shane
No, I watched like one episode and there was already crazy sex. Yeah, that was back in HBO's just full on sex era.
Amanda
Yeah, it really was.
Shane
Anyways, okay, this episode is about people dying. It's not about sex. Amanda, when did you start checking people.com every day, you sick fuck? When did you start getting into celebrity gossip? Cause we've seen your diary from when you were a kid, and it had a lot of celebrity gossip on the front of it.
Amanda
Here's the thing. I think it's less about the gossip, but every time I'm obsessed with movies since I was little, but every time I watched a movie, I was so interested in the celebrities and their life. So that's why when I watch movies, I'm like, oh, like, someone's like, oh, yeah, that's Scarlett Johansson. I'm like, no, it's not. That's blah, blah, blah. Like, I'm so. So I'll like, go and research, like, oh, I don't know that guy yet. And I'll research and I'll know who he dated, what other movies he did. Maybe he did this movie. Oh, maybe that director. And I just go on. That's my, like, search. I don't do Reddit Social Security number. I just do, like, who they're dating, what other things they've done. And then I'll watch that movie and then I'll like that actor. So I think I got really into actors and, like, their lives. And then the only thing is sometimes the hot goss of it all is, like, too Much like, I don't watch reality shows. I don't watch Real Housewives. I don't watch any of that shit.
Shane
You don't watch Love Island?
Amanda
Okay, I watch Love Island.
Shane
Do you watch Bachelor?
Amanda
No, I've never.
Shane
You didn't watch Golden Bachelor?
Amanda
No, but I definitely have a story from Golden Bachelor. Here's the thing. I researched Golden Bachelor, but I didn't watch it.
Shane
I think that's crazier than watching.
Amanda
I'm so weird.
Shane
I think that's.
Spencer
I think that's crazy.
Shane
But here's the thing.
Amanda
It's just like Dateline with Keith Morrison. I listened to it as a joke to start because the way he is is so ridiculous.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And then it kind of like the, like, oh, God, this is so silly. Turned into like, okay, oh, oh, God.
Shane
This is the thing. I can't shit on what you're saying because when I was young, my mom was obsessed with like Access Hollywood Extra, all that shit, baby on all the time. And I will say, and it's the same with like a reality TV show or like Dateline. My mom would watch that stuff too, is you can scoff at it. If you watch five minutes of any of them, you're then kind of like you're invested. Well, I gotta keep watching.
Amanda
You're invested.
Shane
Yeah, it's true.
Amanda
They hook you and then they follow their story. Although I'm over the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce, like, I don't care.
Shane
You brought that up on this podcast.
Spencer
I think everyone's over.
Amanda
I don't care about their timeline. I. The amount of photos they have her sitting in a box watching his game in red. I'm like, good for you. I don't care anymore.
Shane
So I watch football all the time. And they always show her a bunch during these games. It's so funny. She seems genuinely into it. I think she's genuinely a fan. I think that genuinely they're doing great. I think it's why it's kind of boring. Cuz just like. Yeah, they're just in a relationship.
Amanda
Literally. It's like every good show when the people. When the two lovers actually end up getting together and get married, you're like, all right, that's don't need to end. You know, we all love. We love, like, the conflict. Like, will they, won't they? And I think like hot gossip and people dot com. They do it so well. Like, they're like, titles are so how.
Spencer
Long have they been doing it for?
Shane
Oh, People.com has been around years.
Spencer
Yeah, I remember seeing it like, you know, as a kid.
Shane
Yeah. People in US Weekly.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Like, the grocery store people was.
Amanda
They were huge. And they were also huge on, like, the royals.
Shane
Like, people.com was like, I don't understand the royal stuff at all.
Amanda
I'm over it. I'm over it. Cause I don't watch the crown or anything, but People. But I heard the crown is amazing.
Shane
The crown is good. I watch the crown.
Amanda
I just get to a point where I get oversaturated with that.
Shane
I just don't really. I'm not interested. I'm just like. They're just people who. I don't know.
Spencer
People.
Amanda
People.
Shane
They're just a tourist attraction.
Amanda
Yeah, but they were, like, huge. So it was like, people. Star Magazine.
Shane
Don't.
Amanda
Don't read Star Magazine. It's all fake.
Shane
That's fake. That's like.
Amanda
That was like, aliens landed and Angelina Jolie, like, a head let them in her home.
Shane
Or. Now I'm interested.
Spencer
That was what fascinated me in the grocery store. Or, like, as a kid. Because you'd always see, like, you know, you'd have, like, People magazine, like, Life magazine, and then you would have something where it'd be like, I have two weeks to live. Like, oh, I'm laughing, but yes. No, I mean, but it'd be like. It'd be like, like, you know, where, like, clearly they were just, like, feeling sick that day. They walked outside, paparazzi, took a picture.
Amanda
And they were like this.
Spencer
And they're like. Like, I'm dying. Like, I am actively dying. And then you had, like, the. The soap opera magazines, like.
Amanda
Yeah, soap. Or Reader's Digest. Remember Reader's Digest?
Shane
What is the deal with Reader's Digest? What is the deal with the soap one, too?
Amanda
Reader's Digest was about, like, TV channels. It was, like, when TV was a thing. Yeah, they were like.
Shane
I thought it was TV Guide.
Spencer
I think it was both.
Shane
I think that was both.
Spencer
Well, I don't know about Reader's Guide.
Shane
Were the soap books, though, for, like, literally, they would summarize the soap operas.
Spencer
Would they do, like, fan theories?
Amanda
Here's the thing. I never picked up a soap opera.
Shane
Was it Tumblr before? Tumblr?
Amanda
Guys, I did not read the soap. Max.
Shane
I don't know anyone who watches a soap opera that isn't 70 years old.
Amanda
Yeah, I. I don't. I don't watch, like, Days of our Lives ever.
Shane
Like, comment down below. If. If you watch a soap opera, like, an American soap opera.
Amanda
Yes.
Shane
Because I'm sure. I think they're Big in other countries. But yes, here in America I feel like they're past their.
Spencer
You like your Turkish soaps?
Amanda
I was just going to say that. I will say I'm watching a new Turkish show right now on Netflix. It's a limited series. It's called Creature and it's based on the book Frankenstein.
Shane
Oh, that's.
Amanda
And it's really, really good. But it also has again like most Turkish TV shows which I'm like, oh God, do I love this. It has a soap element to it. Like, like over the top acting. Like whoa. Like the world. Like slow mo scenes. Like violin comes in at random times and I'm like, oh, I don't know why this is.
Spencer
That's close enough.
Shane
No, I love that shit.
Amanda
But like Turkish shows are very soapy. So I'm like, okay, I can see. Since I love Turkish shows, I'm like, I can see why people like soap operas. But Days of Our Lives, well, they're.
Spencer
I think it's. I think it's a spectrum because I mean, look at like Grey's Anatomy. Is that not a soap?
Amanda
That's definitely.
Shane
It's right. Actually it's not technically.
Amanda
Not technically a soap.
Shane
Cause a soap is a show that comes out every day, every day.
Amanda
And they film constantly.
Shane
There's like technicalities. But it is soapy. It's very soapy.
Amanda
I definitely have. I've auditioned for a soap opera.
Shane
I've auditioned for some soap operas.
Amanda
And they want you to like hold. That's the thing about when you're done with it, you have to hold.
Shane
Like that's crazy. Working on soap operas. I think it's the hardest acting job.
Amanda
You only get one shot because you.
Shane
Get one take and it's like you have to memorize like 90 pages a day or something like that. There's a reason why we make fun of soap opera actors for not being good. It's cuz you don't get a second take.
Amanda
They don't get time with their doctor ton of shit. They're just a doctor.
Shane
It's so hard. No, basically I love soap operas and I'm obsessed with them.
Amanda
So yeah, I didn't read the soap mags and I didn't read people mags really that often. Maybe in the airport when you're like bored, you read through them. But I don't know how People.com is now subscribed like through my email. I don't know when I made that leap.
Shane
So you've been looking at it every day for years.
Spencer
For your whole life.
Shane
No, since you were a baby.
Amanda
I think since.
Shane
I think since you were a little baby.
Amanda
Shut up. I honestly don't think that long. Like, I think, like, two years. Okay. Cause I was a baby.
Shane
So at Smosh.
Spencer
Yeah.
Shane
Yeah, At Smosh, you began this.
Spencer
You sent them your email.
Amanda
Because I've been at Smosh for four.
Shane
I know, but. But while you're at school. Really?
Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer
That's crazy. That sucks. I'm just kidding. I've been here. I've been here for way too long.
Shane
Sucks.
Amanda
Yeah. So now that I have it.
Shane
But before we begin, what's the celebrity story over these past two years that was your favorite? What's the. Is there one story storyline that you were most obsessed with? Cause, like, back in the day, which arc. No, I remember back in the day, the first celebrity story where I remember just not being able to not hear about it. And I was a little kid was the original JLo Ben Affleck romance back in, like, the 2000s. And it just, like, you couldn't go a day without hearing about it for, like, years. Lasted for years. And everyone talked about it, and I was like, I remember as a little kid. I'm like, I don't care about this. Why is this talked about all the time?
Amanda
I. I will say that, actually, because I can't quite think of, like, one, because there was a lot. But the Bennifer getting back together, it is pretty cool. And their wedding was a big part of the Benifer.
Shane
Part two is different than Bennifer.
Amanda
And my favorite things about people.com is they're not super, super mean, but they're mean enough to have you go, oh, and the amount of pictures and, like, weird videos that they have of Ben Affleck, like, they pull up to, like, a red carpet or whatever. Ben Affleck just opens the door, rushes out, and J. Lo's, like, trying to take pictures. It's very clear that Ben Affleck's like, I don't want to be in front of cameras. Like, he's said this. And it's JLo's. It's her world. Right? Like, she's built her world in front of cameras. She's comfortable with it. But people.com harped on that, like, uh, oh, like, Ben is not comfy in front of cameras. And that's where J. Lo lives. And it's just these videos of Ben, like, pushing through the crowd.
Spencer
I like the one.
Shane
Let's go, James.
Spencer
Where it looks like they're having an argument.
Amanda
Yes.
Spencer
And it's like he's making the meanest faces. He's pointing and stuff like that. But then you watch the video, and it's just clear. He's just talking. He's like, no, that's just literally how Boston was.
Amanda
Well, there is. There was a people dot Com. One of them at an awards ceremony where I think they actually are having an argument, because it's them talking. And he's like, yeah, I don't know. Whatever. Whatever he's saying. And then J. Lo looks like, glances the cameras at her, and then she immediately smiles and, like, pushes his hand down. And maybe it's nothing, or maybe she.
Shane
Just knows, like, they're gonna take photos and make this look like a fight.
Amanda
And then it did.
Shane
Yeah, of course that's what they do.
Amanda
But people, they're not as mean as.
Shane
Like, oh, some of the others are so awful.
Spencer
I remember TMZ is, like, predatory.
Shane
People have.
Amanda
TMZ is horrendous.
Shane
People have brought it back. But I always remember, even as a kid seeing the magazines right at the front, it was like some celebrity in a swimsuit. And they're literally. They took like, an unflattering photo, and then they would Photoshop it to make them look worse, and they'd be like, ugh.
Amanda
Like, what is this?
Shane
And what's crazy is people have been showing those photos.
Amanda
Terrible.
Shane
And they're like, wait, they're actually hot. Like. Like, I remember. I remember when, like, Jennifer Love Hewitt just got shit on by these magazines for a few years.
Amanda
That happened recently to her on People dot com. Dude. Dude. No, but people, like, you look back.
Shane
At those photos where they were shitting on her, and you're like, wait, she was hot as hell.
Amanda
Here's the thing, though, people. This is why I like people, is because they're not. They weren't shitting on her recently. They're very. They're not nice, but they're the nicest, I think. And their whole thing was they're the.
Shane
Nicest bully you're ever gonna meet in your life.
Amanda
Your whole thing was Jennifer Love Hewitt. They always say, slaps back or snaps back.
Shane
I love that shit.
Spencer
Strikes back.
Amanda
He snapped back at fans because she took a photo of herself and she used a filter, and fans were like, oh, my God, what is she hiding underneath that filter? Which is awful. Also, celebrities stop responding to these fans. Like, just stop. Like, whatever. And I mean, that might be hard, but she snapped back at her fans and was like, aging in Hollywood is really hard. Cause, you know, she was a fucking hottie. She was A hottie. And so people, they were defending her. I don't even know why I'm defending people. Stop.
Shane
Okay, do we want to. Yeah, like what are some headlines?
Amanda
Okay, so this is the top headline. Like I said. I didn't watch the Golden Bachelor. Did you, Spencer?
Shane
No, I watched a few episodes.
Amanda
Okay, Bachelor.
Shane
It was very funny.
Spencer
So for context, this is the one where it's one old guy and a bunch of old ladies.
Shane
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, well they're, they're all, they were all older.
Amanda
No, he was older.
Shane
He's 70 something. That's crazy. I thought Golden Bachelor. I was like, oh, are they going to be like in like. Because this is Hollywood. I was like, are they going to be in their 40s and 50s? No, they're all in their 70s and 60s. Some are like late 50s. But I was like, damn, Bravo. Like, okay, you can't get much older.
Spencer
Than not on Bravo.
Shane
Or else it starts to get.
Amanda
Are you sure it's not on Bravo? It might be on Bravo.
Shane
It's on abc.
Amanda
Well, okay, so this is the Golden Bachelor. So spoiler alert. He has chosen his bride, his mate, and they got married. And her name is Theresa Nest.
Shane
Uh huh.
Spencer
Okay.
Amanda
Teresa Nest, theresa nist. And people.com is they've already shared all of. They shared her previous wedding dress or whatever. But here's this headline. Here's the hot goss. Teresa Nist has bridal wardrobe malfunction mid Golden Bachelor wedding ceremony. But Jerry, Jerry can't look away.
Spencer
Yeah, bro, I'm trying to see those.
Amanda
Jerry.
Spencer
That's what Jerry said.
Shane
The photo is him like a looney tutor.
Amanda
See, here's the thing. People.com, the way they put it. They're not like, oh my God, they got fat. They're like, aw, can't look away.
Spencer
Wait, let me see this picture.
Amanda
No, there's no picture of the malfunction. It's just them getting married.
Spencer
What's the malfunction?
Shane
What's the malfunction?
Amanda
Well, let me get into it, guys.
Spencer
See, they hooked me already.
Shane
They hooked me. Now I gotta know what the hell malfunction was.
Amanda
Theresa Nist chose a dazzling dress for her wedding to Jerry Turner. Jerry spelled with a G. Heads up. Okay, that makes it a little better on Thursday night. But the night wasn't without one little mishap. Before the couple could seal their nuptials with a kiss, one strap on Nist's bad Glee Mishka gown broke. Nothing could rain on the happy couple's parade though. And the rest of the ceremony went.
Spencer
Off without a hitch, and he didn't look away.
Amanda
In fact, Turner couldn't take his eyes off his bride. Well, I would assume nothing bad happened. It was a cheap dress, and it snapped.
Spencer
See, I would have thrown my iPad at the wall if that was the reveal.
Amanda
The golden bachelor, 72, and his bride, 70, exchange vows live on ABC following their engagement on the finale of last year's show. Let's see if he said anything. Cause I love their quotes.
Shane
I like it. He couldn't take his eyes off her. It's like, yeah, you're at the podium and you're facing each other. What are you gonna do? She stands up there, and he's like.
Spencer
Ugh, bro, you got nervous.
Amanda
See, you've gotta remember, Teresa didn't get her first time around. She didn't have much time to plan. And really, I didn't either. Jerry Turner said we didn't have a whole lot of time, and we were pretty broke, both of us. So this is kind of big. We want to make it so we don't miss any of those moments.
Shane
Is he broke? I don't think he's broke at all.
Amanda
I think he's very, very rich.
Shane
I think he's extremely rich.
Amanda
So, yeah, that.
Shane
That's a good one. That's a good start. I know. I know this stuff, though, because I watched Golden Bachelor, a little bit of it. So I. I know. I know this.
Spencer
Kiana's told me about it a little bit.
Shane
Kiana's locked in.
Spencer
She.
Shane
Kiana's locked into every part of the amount she.
Spencer
Like, I'm truly in awe of the amount that a lot of people just in this office alone consume, like, any of those shows. Like, to me, I couldn't. Like, keeping up with one of those shows is almost like a. I'm hesitant to say a job, but, like, you know, like, Keanu watches, like, Big Brother. And to me, I'm like, that's such a commitment that, like.
Amanda
I agree.
Shane
The reason a lot of our content is so good is. Cause a lot of our crew behind the scenes are so versed on the Internet. I can think of a few. But Kiana, absolutely. There's not much that Kiana doesn't know.
Amanda
Yeah, she knows everything.
Shane
She's really kind of scary.
Amanda
She knows everything.
Shane
Kiana truly is a character from the Matrix. Like, we need to go visit the knower, the oracle. It's Kiana, and she's like, hey, bestie.
Amanda
So, yeah, she's like, oh, yeah, already saw that.
Shane
Already saw that. I've Got it. Don't worry.
Amanda
But does she know that Billie Eilish brings the crew socks and loafers trend to the red carpet?
Shane
That's pretty sick.
Amanda
Plus a Playboy bunny bag.
Shane
What?
Amanda
Billie, Billy, literally she's just wearing white socks and big shoes. That's it.
Spencer
Let me see the shoes.
Shane
Those are cute.
Spencer
Yeah, I've been looking at it against.
Shane
Billie Eilish back into the baggy clothing.
Amanda
Billie Eilish.
Spencer
I don't think she ever left.
Shane
Did she never leave?
Amanda
She continues to command the red carpet bringing the crew socks and loafers tre Palm Springs on Thursday. The 22 year old singer.
Spencer
What was in Palm Springs?
Amanda
I don't know how crazy the International Film Festival awards if she was accompanied by her brother and fellow musician Phineas O'Connell. The Ocean Eyes. Okay, that was a long ago song singer. That's why I love people.com, cause they feel a little like 60 year olds working.
Shane
She's had many songs since Ocean Eyes. I feel even I know that I.
Amanda
Feel like a bunch of 6 year olds who are like hot goss. So you know the Ocean Ice song that we can't stop playing? Well, let me tell you about Billie Eilish. That's why I kinda like it.
Shane
You guys know Maroon 5? They did this love.
Amanda
Sunday morning.
Shane
You know Maroon 5 from Sunday morning?
Amanda
The ocean Eyes singer wore a black, red and gold headscarf tied to the back that complemented her two toned black and red hair and shades with yellow lenses.
Spencer
Whoa.
Shane
So you're.
Spencer
How far away are we from AI writing all of this?
Amanda
Oh God, I don't know. She then reflected on the resonation. What was I made for? Which was the big song and Barbie has had with audiences, especially in how it has brought women together in this way that I feel like I haven't felt part of like that and it made me feel really good. Eilish said. And I also felt like it was bringing people together. It felt like we were all experiencing the life experience. You know. I do love Billie Eilish.
Shane
I like Billie Eilish too. I always love these answers though. On red carpets there is that like they ask these questions and I'm like. My thought is always like what? What answer are you expecting? It's what it actually reminds me of is in sports.
Spencer
Yeah.
Shane
Every time when like they ask the coach or players after like a loss they're like so what happened? And I'm just like what do you think they're going to say? Yeah, they're like yeah, we lost. We did Bad. We lost the game. I'm just like, what? But all these, like, how do you feel about this movie? It's like, I feel good about it.
Amanda
And then people.com is like, she feels good about the movie. I kind of love it.
Shane
I actually have a lot of respect because at Defy, we were right next to, like, the clevvertv people. They do a lot of celebrity stuff. And I actually was. I really admire the work. So I'm like, I couldn't do it. Cause you have to be. They have to be locked in all the time. They have to be following stuff. But I'm also like, I'm just not into it. And clearly there's a fascination.
Amanda
It's also like. It's like when you were. When I worked for local news, you had to be on the local news all the time. And then you had to come up with a catchy way that 99% of people can read and go, ooh, what's that?
Spencer
I mean, is that so different from, like, what we do?
Amanda
Not really.
Shane
We play fnaf. Yeah.
Amanda
No, it's literally like Amanda and Shane.
Spencer
Play FNAF for the first time. The title was we play FNAF for the first time.
Shane
Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty much the same thing.
Amanda
Yeah. Just like how Kate Middleton is spending her 42nd birthday weekend. Tea parties, country life and family.
Spencer
They did not try on that one.
Shane
Are they?
Amanda
No, they're kind of giving up on the royals a little bit. They're not as hot because Harry's book is already out.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And Meghan Markle and Harry, they felt pushed out by the royal.
Shane
Who do you like more, Meghan Markle or Kate Middleton?
Amanda
Oh, God.
Spencer
And there is a correct answer.
Shane
There is a correct answer. Amanda, don't answer.
Amanda
I feel like Kate is under some spell where she's like, everything is fine. Like, there was, like, a people.com that made me laugh so hard.
Spencer
There was a People dot com.
Amanda
There was an article on People that made me. My gals at People. It was. Kate Middleton was standing next to some, like, great person or something like that, and she wanted to get close to her.
Spencer
Yeah, her husband.
Amanda
No, no, she wanted to get close to her, but she didn't want to, like, scoot over. So she, like, scooted her feet in, like a weird, like, dancing.
Spencer
That sounds awesome.
Amanda
Like a weird, like, tap dance thing. Just to get close during the picture. And people were all over it.
Shane
It's so insane.
Amanda
That's why it's so funny.
Shane
I also. Look, I'm a. I' to some degree, because I've watched a lot of the Crown and so you saw the foot thing. The. The life they have to le live is truly a nightmare.
Amanda
Yeah, I. It's. It's.
Spencer
I would not last.
Shane
I would not last. Oh, me as a royal not doing so good.
Amanda
You wouldn't.
Shane
I would be there. They'd catch me playing video games one day, bro.
Spencer
They catch me, bro.
Amanda
You're a king. Come on, bro.
Shane
You're a prince. You can't play video games. Do you think Harry games. Harry has to be gaming now because he lives in California now.
Amanda
Who? Harry Stiles.
Shane
Prince Harry.
Amanda
I was like, Harry's.
Shane
We're talking about the royals.
Amanda
People have already moved on, buddy.
Shane
Happy? Diana, what happened there?
Amanda
Very. Yeah, they're in LA because they don't feel. They don't feel welcome. They don't feel welcome in England.
Shane
I. You got. I think a lot about what Prince Harry is probably doing out here in California now.
Spencer
He's jacking off.
Shane
He's jacking off. He's smoking weed. Spencer. He's playing Fortnite. You think he's gotten a victory for Royale? A victory royal?
Amanda
What are you saying? What are you saying?
Spencer
Do you think he unlocked Peter Griffin?
Shane
Do you think he watches Family Guy?
Amanda
Okay, you're gonna love this one.
Shane
Give us another.
Amanda
Adam Sandler plays impromptu pickup basketball game with University of Arizona.
Spencer
He's fucking always doing that shit.
Amanda
I know, I know.
Shane
What I love about Adam Sandler is that outside of movies, he wears like the same outfit.
Spencer
He's wearing the baggiest shirt. Him and Kevin Smith.
Shane
This is awesome.
Amanda
This is why people makes me laugh. The future Saturday night. The future Saturday Night Live star. He's not a future Saturday Night Live star.
Spencer
We don't know that. See, they're predicting.
Shane
Now they're telling the future group.
Amanda
As an avid basketball fan, playing for his Jewish Community Center's youth team before playing high school basketball for Manchester Central High School in New Hampshire. Basketball started for me when I was a young man. Sandler said.
Spencer
Yeah, he's always saying that.
Shane
Well, you know, I really like basket.
Amanda
Shut him.
Shane
Oh, are you liking the basketball?
Amanda
That's pretty good.
Spencer
That is my favorite was what's his faces? Who's the fucking guy? I dated all the. Pete Davidson. His impression of Adam Sandler was just going, shit him.
Amanda
Okay, here's another one. Peloton instructor invites Christopher Nolan to take her class. Insult free.
Spencer
I did see that.
Amanda
After she complains about his movie. You can critique my class. We'll have a good Time, I promise you, it'll be insult free.
Spencer
Did you see the clip?
Shane
I promise it'll be an atomic blast.
Spencer
Did you see the clip from the. Of the peloton class?
Shane
It's actually really funny.
Spencer
So funny.
Shane
But we know more than you, Amanda.
Amanda
What we are.
Shane
We are locked in.
Spencer
We see the actual clips on Twitter.
Shane
No, it's so great. She's doing the peloton class. She's on the bike, and she's just like, I saw that movie. I don't know what the fuck was happening.
Spencer
I didn't know they were like that on Peloton.
Amanda
I didn't know they were crazy on Peloton. Cody Rigsby. Honestly, at first I was like, I don't know. And then I got on there and I was like, oh. He'd be like, they read off people's like, names, like, whatever.
Spencer
They're like, twitch streaming.
Amanda
And they'll be like, you gotta change that name. That is awful, honey.
Shane
That is awful. They are essentially Twitch streamers.
Amanda
They are so. Some of them are really hilarious.
Spencer
Like, she was her shitting on Tenet. I was like, girl, okay.
Amanda
Oh, so it was Tenet that she shit on?
Spencer
Oh, yeah.
Amanda
So here's what I want to say. Tenant sucks. This is what she said. So here's what I want to say. I may not have understood a minute of what the hell was going on in Tenet. That shit went right over my head. But I have seen Oppenheimer twice, and that's six hours of my life that I don't ever want to give back. She continued. So, Mr. Nolan, I'm inviting you to come take a ride with me in my Peloton studio. You can critique my class. We'll have a great time. You'll sit in the front row, and I promise you it'll be insult free. Let me know. Take me up on it.
Shane
Christopher Nolan in a peloton class. Sounds so funny. No.
Spencer
Yeah.
Amanda
Wait. He responded.
Spencer
Update. We have an update.
Shane
Huh? What'd he say?
Amanda
Nolan mentioned hearing Sherman's criticism during the New York Film Critics Circle Awards gala on Wednesday.
Spencer
Okay, I think this is what kicked it off.
Amanda
I was on my peloton. I'm dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, did anyone see this? That's a couple hours of my life I'll never get back. Nolan said while accepting the best director award. So, no, that's it. That's all he said.
Shane
So wait, Christopher Nolan was on his Peloton?
Amanda
Oh, when. When Film critic Rex. Yeah, he. He does the peloton. When film critic Rex.
Spencer
Did you not hear that context?
Shane
I. I heard. Yeah, just now. I did.
Spencer
Hey, man, did you not hear what she just said? Now wait.
Shane
There's step into the world of power, loyalty, and luck.
Amanda
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.
Shane
With family. Cannolis and spins mean everything.
Amanda
Now you want to get mixed up in the family. Family business.
Shane
Introducing the godfather@champacasino.com test your luck in the shadowy world of the Godfather slots.
Amanda
Someday I will call upon you to do a service for me.
Shane
Play the Godfather now@Champacasino.com Welcome to the family. No purchase necessary. VGW Group void. We're prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply.
Amanda
More. When film critic Rex Reed takes a shit on your film, he doesn't ask you to work out. Joke. Nolan. Okay. In today's world, where opinions are everywhere, there's a sort of idea that film criticism is being democratized.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
But I for one, think the critical appreciation of film shouldn't be an instinct, but it should be a profession.
Shane
Huh?
Spencer
Whatever that means.
Amanda
Okay.
Shane
Okay, nerd.
Amanda
So he did read it, and he is going to get back on his.
Shane
Peloton and never take your class making movies.
Spencer
So I think he said that first, and then she saw that he had seen her criticism and that was her response. Yeah, so he said that first and then she said that.
Shane
Yeah, I think she. I think she came out on top of this.
Spencer
Yeah, I think she was right.
Amanda
I think you guys are gonna get hooked on people. What? Yes.
Shane
I'm not gonna watch Attended again.
Spencer
No, dude, that movie was bad.
Amanda
Also, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, she's everywhere.
Spencer
Yeah.
Amanda
She is out of prison.
Shane
That is currently the story. I admittedly, I told you I didn't know anything about it, but I have been seeing her all over the place, and it's just stories that are just like, she was spotted at this concert, or here's what she's doing. And I'm like, who is this person?
Amanda
People are freaking out.
Shane
But now that I know the story, I'm almost, like, a little more sad that I keep seeing. I'm like, leave her alone. I know. Oh, my God.
Amanda
Well, she's kind of putting herself out there a little bit.
Spencer
She. She was on the View.
Amanda
She was on the View. She's pictured with her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson.
Shane
I guess because she's being seen in a good light, people are kind of.
Spencer
Oh, well, I mean, because, I mean, it was. She had to go through. She had to go through so much shit. So I think, like, in a way, it's almost cathartic for people to see, like, oh, she's literally getting to do everything that she was denied for, like, her entire life, and she's getting these opportunities. It's like, hey, like, yeah, you are going to get to go see all these games. You are going to. So, like, in a way, I see that framing as like, something positive.
Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer
But I also do see where it's like, okay, like, let's also give her space.
Amanda
I mean, she. She has a show. I mean, the act on Hulu was. Is about her.
Shane
Right.
Amanda
All of this was happening while she was in prison. And so when she got out, she got. I don't.
Shane
How long was she in prison?
Spencer
Like, nine years.
Amanda
Nine years.
Shane
Whoa.
Amanda
Yeah, well, her and her boyfriend murdered her mother, but her mother was also.
Shane
Former boyfriend, current boyfriend, current husband. D is on fire. Yeah, I saw that one.
Amanda
So Gypsy says, don't listen to the haters and that the couple doesn't owe anyone anything. So she's protecting herself. But before adding, besides, they jealous because you are rocking my world every night. Yeah, I said it. The D is fire.
Spencer
She was so real for that.
Shane
Wow. Holy shit, man.
Amanda
So she's free. She's living her life. And then she says, I was never one of those children that wanted to be famous. I didn't want to be a singer. I didn't want to be an actress. I wanted to be something that made a difference. And she did. She murdered her mom.
Spencer
Yeah. Big difference. No, but did you see the.
Amanda
Abused her her whole life?
Spencer
Did you see the clip from the View?
Amanda
No.
Spencer
Holy fuck.
Amanda
Look it. I have a people that come friendly.
Shane
Spencer's just like, what's the clip?
Spencer
Basically, one of the hosts. I don't. I don't know the. The different hosts on the View. But she's like, oh, like, you know, I can't even. I can't even.
Amanda
Okay. I can't.
Spencer
Like, can we pull the. Jamie, can we pull up the clip?
Amanda
But what's. What's the recap of it?
Spencer
Basically, the lady was like, oh, you didn't even do anything wrong. And one of the others, he was like, what about the murder? And she was like, oh, yeah, God.
Amanda
That's the View, though.
Shane
Well, you said Good Morning America.
Spencer
Well, maybe I meant the View.
Amanda
That's Good Morning America.
Shane
Honestly, those morning shows are the ones that ask the craziest questions.
Amanda
Yeah. Because not. Because they know that they have to get in there. Because I feel like nighttime news shows, people Watch. Right?
Shane
They're just already sitting down.
Spencer
I found the clip. Ladies and gentlemen, we have the clip.
Amanda
Oh, my God.
Spencer
My words. That you are not alone in this, you know, situation. There are other ways out. I did it. I did it the wrong way. So, you know, don't say that. I did. I did something wrong, and I. I paid my dues for it. Oh, you mean that part? Yes, the part of it. You know, that part of it. Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. You know, so I did something. She said it.
Shane
Oh, my God.
Spencer
I don't even know what other part she would have been referring to.
Amanda
Murder is wrong.
Shane
You didn't. No.
Amanda
Now you didn't do anything.
Spencer
But, oh, the murder.
Shane
Oh.
Amanda
Oh. What? Yeah. Wow.
Shane
Well.
Amanda
Yeah. So Gypsy's having a time on people. Kelly Clarkson is having a time on people.
Shane
What's going on with Kelly Clarkson?
Spencer
Talking about her husband, right?
Amanda
She's having explosive information about her husband, saying that her husband said that she was never pretty enough to be on the Voice.
Spencer
Is this her ex husband?
Amanda
This is her ex husband who tried to steal everything. Her husband wasn't sexy enough to appear on the Voice. And she is taking her power back. She lost weight, which I'm like, you don't need to lose weight to take your power back. But that's what she is saying. She's like, I got healthy is what she's saying. But, yeah, she's coming out about her husband saying, okay.
Spencer
Was she on the Voice, though?
Amanda
She.
Shane
I thought she was.
Spencer
I don't want.
Amanda
She's the winner of American Idol and she has her own show.
Spencer
Did she win American Idol?
Shane
Yeah, she was the first winner.
Amanda
She was the first winner. I wasn't sure if it was a moment like this.
Spencer
I wasn't sure if it was her or Justin.
Shane
Spencer, you okay?
Amanda
You dumb idiot. Justin didn't have a chance.
Shane
Kelly Clarkson was the original winner.
Amanda
Justin and Kelly did a movie together.
Spencer
I know they did.
Shane
From Justin to Kelly.
Spencer
I wasn't sure because there were some people, like, came in second place. I just remember, like, if you won American Idol, like, you were famous. But even if you didn't win American idol, you were famous.
Amanda
Ruben stuttered, I'm sorry. For 2004 decay. He. That's all he did. And she was a coach on. So, okay, so she was on the Voice. So I guess she was sexy enough to be on the Voice, buddy. But yeah, she was on the Voice. And she's coming out with a lot of stuff about her ex husband who she must pay. So her ex husband Must pay her over 2.6 million for unlawfully procured.
Spencer
Where the hell is he getting that from?
Amanda
Business deals. I have no idea. But basically, when they were getting divorced and it wasn't announced, he was trying to do business deals, saying, oh, I'm her husband. Yes, I'm Kelly Clarkson's husband. But they were divorced, so she sued him for $2.6 million.
Shane
Imagine having to pay Kelly Clarkson millions of dollars. Yeah, she's got millions of dollars.
Amanda
Not good.
Shane
But that's. That's what you get for being.
Spencer
Yeah, that's what you get, dude.
Amanda
Kelly Clarkson is big. And also, White Lotus is big. It announces season three cast Park.
Shane
What? Actually, I'm actually very curious.
Amanda
Oh, wow. Now you're ready.
Shane
I actually need to know about this.
Amanda
It's including stars from Harry Potter and Mission Impossible. Oh, baby.
Spencer
Who's in Mission Impossible now? I'm listening.
Shane
Henry Cavill and Daniel Radcliffe.
Amanda
The stars. On Friday, HBO announced a brand new cast for the highly anticipated third installment of the anthology series. I love this show. The Star Studded. They love those two words together.
Shane
Star studded is used every article.
Amanda
Star Studded cast will include Leslie Bibb.
Spencer
Okay.

Amanda
Oh, I forget his name in School of Rock.
Spencer
It's a really good one.
Amanda
Okay.
Spencer
Fuck. It's bugging me.
Shane
Amanda. Is there any other last juicy story?
Amanda
Okay. Any other last juicy. I mean, this is. The thing about people, is that one person will usually take over. And it's. Right now it's Gypsy Rose, so. And Emma Stone.
Shane
And by the time this episode airs, it's probably changed.
Amanda
Well, Emma, you know, she did poor things, but she's giving an update on Cruella sequel. Hopefully sooner rather than later, which means it's never gonna happen. Everyone knows that.
Shane
Well, I guess that's it.
Amanda
I think that those are the top ones. I mean, there's stuff. But I feel like there's some stuff that we don't even need to.
Shane
Well, I think you should give updates on this stuff on every Podcast, Instagram and stuff. And you could bring it back here for sure whenever you want. I mean, you're allowed to.
Spencer
Do you guys want to know. Do you guys want to know the name from School Rock?
Shane
What's the name?
Amanda
What's the name?
Spencer
Did you guys not know?
Shane
No.
Amanda
No.
Spencer
Ned Schneebly.
Amanda
No. Ned. Ned. Do you remember that? Yes. Because it's Jack Black's name.
Spencer
He gives the name Ned Schneebly to be the teacher.
Amanda
Yeah, to be the teacher.
Shane
God.
Amanda
Have you seen the movie recently? It's great.
Shane
So good.

Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer
And that's where I will honestly get a lot of my, like, gaming news and updates.
Amanda
And are they kind of saying, like, what's coming out next? Or, like, what's the what's coming out next?
Spencer
Like, things that are, like, updated. Like, oh, this, like, feature was announced. Like, this person was announced for this game. Like, this game has been canceled. This, like, ooh, that's been delayed.
Amanda
That's fun.
Spencer
Yeah, that's you.
Shane
And pretty badass. What I love is in charge of our pit channel, Emily. She is so locked in such a game, like, news, like, so locked in that she'll be talking about things where I'm like, I don't know where you heard about this, but she's so. She's like the celebrity gossip, but with video game news. I showed up here one day at early in the morning, and I walk in and she, she, like, is walking into. And she goes, did you hear? And I'm thinking, like, this is on a Monday. I'm thinking it's something like smosh, right? Yeah, of course. Like, oh, shit. Because this was like after the. The live show and stuff. So I was like, what, did something happen? Did whatever. She goes, E3 is canceled. And I was like, I was like, oh, for sure.
Amanda
Let's cancel.
Shane
And I know E3, it actually, for gaming news. It's actually insane. Like, it actually was a big deal. So I understand. And I'm into gaming, but I'm not into like, certain realms of it.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
So, like, I don't think she understood when she was telling me that. I'm like, oh, yeah, I know about it.
Amanda
You're like, oh.
Shane
I'm like, oh, damn, that's cool. Crazy.
Spencer
You know like Comic Con.
Amanda
Yes.
Spencer
You know, like San Diego Comic Con.
Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer
It's like if that was canceled, kind of.
Shane
Yeah, it's a big deal.
Amanda
Oh, that would suck.
Shane
It is actually a huge deal. And she's very much in the industry of gaming. She's.
Spencer
Yeah, she comes from the gaming.
Shane
So it's like, it's a big deal. It's like if VidCon was canceled, it's like, exactly. That was no longer doing.
Spencer
That was a better example.
Shane
It'd be like, damn.
Amanda
It's like if Dateline was done, actually.
Shane
Yeah, that would. It would be the same news, probably for you.
Amanda
I would be mortified. I wouldn't even come into work. You wouldn't see my face for weeks.
Shane
You'd be bedridden for months.
Amanda
That's where I'm gonna kill you.
Shane
I check a couple websites every day.
Amanda
Oh, but I'm just kidding.
Spencer
What's.
Shane
I check. I. I just. So a few years ago, I started being like, I want to figure out my style better. I want to just get. I want to like, yes, your style has. Be more of a gentleman.
Amanda
Style has been on point.
Shane
So one of the websites, I. I still check. I don't. I. I just kind of check it because, like, they're just. It's whatever. Esquire. I mentioned this.
Amanda
Oh, yes.
Shane
We're saying this is no different than people dot com. And I'm like, it is not the same.
Amanda
No different than people dot com. Okay.
Shane
How is it no different?
Amanda
It's more focused on fashion and like watches.
Shane
There are watches? Sometimes there are watches. I think it's more product based.
Amanda
What do you think, Spencer?
Spencer
Is it the same? I don't know. I used to read My dad's Esquire magazines and Flex. Yeah.
Amanda
Does any mention of parents?
Spencer
Okay.
Shane
Flex.
Spencer
Yeah. And, I mean, it was kind of all over the place.
Shane
It is all over the place.
Amanda
Okay, so what's your favorite thing about it? Like, what are you.
Spencer
I, like, I see Jeremy Allen White on there.
Shane
So they often, like, interview someone. And, like, Jeremy Allen White is starting the year strong. Like, because he's got his Calvin Klein ad and stuff.
Amanda
No, I'm actually wearing a big watch in this picture.
Shane
He's not wearing a watch. He's wearing. Basically, he's wearing his Calvin's. Oh, I got to say, Jeremy Allen White. He's bringing in this year. This year's for the Short Kings. He's.
Amanda
He's killing it. He's killing it.
Spencer
Did you.
Shane
But they'll be like, 20 best polo shirts for men.
Spencer
Oh, stuff like that.
Shane
It's like buying guides.
Amanda
Is there anything for women out there?
Shane
18 Hoka deals to kickstart your New Year's running resolution.
Amanda
Okay. I have Hokas.
Shane
There's a lot of stuff that's not for me. Right? The 75 best golf gifts of 2023. Like, they're just. It's a lot of stuff because I'm like, I need help. You know, guy stuff.
Amanda
So, you know, on people.com, they say, best gifts this year. Oprah's gift list this year, 10 things on Amazon that are trending. So it's pretty much the same thing. Boo.
Shane
Then I also check. I check Polygon for, like. That's for, like, more gaming and pop culture in my sphere that I care about. So this is, like, gaming news. Polygon, Polygon. So it's like gaming, TV shows, movies.
Amanda
You know it too.
Spencer
I know it.
Shane
He knows it.
Amanda
Oh, is it TV shows too, or.
Shane
It's a lot of stuff.
Amanda
Is it TV shows? Only about dorky.
Shane
So, like, Arcane season two is adding a big bad wolf and seemingly confirming a tragic fan.
Amanda
I know Arcane.
Shane
Did you watch it?
Amanda
Mm. Mm. I watched the first episode, and then I got distracted.
Shane
League of Legends 2024 plans revealed from Arcane to a baby dragon. Whoa. The 50 most anticipated new games of 2024.
Amanda
Okay. Well, that's fun.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Dude, you know what this kind of reminds me of? You know what else I get on my email? IMDb. So it'll be, like, shows that have been canceled. Best new movies that are coming out.
Spencer
Dude, I have a friend that, like, checks IMDb. Like, it's a news site, and I'm that. No, but that's Crazy. No, but there is, like, there is.
Amanda
A news site about it.
Spencer
And I'm just like, that's. That's just a funny place to go for news.
Shane
But I like their metal gear solid 3 and Silent Hill 2 remakes coming in 2024.
Amanda
I've heard of Silent Hill.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Can we play that? Isn't that scary?
Spencer
Yeah, I've never played.
Amanda
It's a movie.
Spencer
Oh, yeah, it's. It's by the guy who did. The guy who did. What's the name? Rules of Attraction. You ever seen that movie?
Amanda
Of course.
Spencer
That movie rocks.
Amanda
Rules of Attraction is kind of wild, isn't it?
Spencer
It's a crazy movie.
Amanda
Katie Holmes in that. No, it's all the big, like.
Spencer
It's like. It's like James Vanderbie.
Amanda
Yes, yes.
Spencer
But Jennifer. Not Jennifer. Who was in. I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Oh, Genesis. Jessica Biel.
Amanda
Jessica Biel.
Spencer
She's in that for like a couple. A little bit. Shannon.
Amanda
Shannon Doherty.
Spencer
No, they're really. The really pretty one who's in A Knight's Tale.
Amanda
She's so hot. Oh, my God.
Spencer
She was in the Holiday, too.
Amanda
She was in the Holiday, which was.
Spencer
She was mean in that.
Amanda
She was mean. She was a little mean in Knight's Tale.
Shane
This happened in the last episode that you were here. But I love how it always ends up with you guys being like, who is in that? Who is that?
Spencer
No, is that actor who's in.
Shane
You guys sit here. Cuz you did that with the guy who was.
Amanda
We did.
Shane
You did it last night.
Amanda
Spencer and I are like an old.
Spencer
It's like. It's like if you. It's like being. If I can't talk about who this person, like, what movie this person was in. It's like I'm on one of those fucking medieval stretchers and they're just cranking that thing.
Shane
Drawn in quarters.
Spencer
Yeah.
Amanda
I will say Spencer and I connect so much on older movies. Cause there's not a lot of people that have seen, like, movies like that. If I said that people were like a what? And then I'm like, oh, well, I'll just go down this route on my own. But I feel like you've seen a lot of movies that I've seen.
Spencer
Yeah.
Amanda
So that makes us really cool people.
Spencer
All those Kevin Costner films. No, I'll be real with y'all. I didn't really know what Tin cup was.
Amanda
Well, I only knew that one scene.
Shane
I only know of it because Rene.
Amanda
Russo is in it.
Shane
Referenced it. You just know Them all. I do check Rotten Tomatoes.
Amanda
Oh, Rotten Tomatoes.
Shane
I think it's just, I think I started, I started checking it like that's forever ago. And so I just still kind of like.
Amanda
Do you agree with Rotten?
Shane
I don't agree with a lot of. I just kind of check it more so to see what's out. Because it's just like, oh, here's, here's the movies that are out, right?
Amanda
Gotta switch to IMDb, honey. Because then it tells you all the shows that are canceled.
Shane
I don't want to know that.
Spencer
They both have really ugly. Like, what if they had cute interfaces?
Shane
That'd be their interface.
Amanda
IMDb is. Yeah, it's. Yeah, Rotten Tomatoes feels very like a kids Rotten Tomatoes.
Spencer
It's just like kind of hard to navigate. Like there's just like.
Shane
It's gotten worse too.
Spencer
Yeah. Because now they do like TV shows.
Shane
And well, they, they start off, they start at first with TV and shows that are movies and shows that are streaming.
Spencer
And that's just.
Shane
And then you go down to what are like recent releases and I'm like, that's stupid. Do the releases first.
Amanda
Do you want to know what you can do? I just go to YouTube and type trailers. 2023.
Spencer
That's insane.
Shane
That's.
Spencer
That's crazy.
Amanda
But you know what? It messes me up because there's a lot of fan made trailers. I remember when Courtney last year was like, guys, Anastasia is coming out. It is happening. It's a live action Anastasia. And she showed me the trailer and I was like, court, is this a fan made? And she was like, nope. And then she texted me, I think two months ago, and she was like, oh my God, it's a fan made. It's a fan made. And that actually hurt me because I was like, oh, no. Like, we were both so excited about it because we love Anastasia.
Shane
I've had it happen. No, I've had that happen so many times where on April Fool's Day they'll make a fake trailer for things. And my thought is always, I'm like, oh, yeah, cool. You psyched us with this project that would do really well that you guys are for some reason not gonna do like. And then I'm reminded of just like, oh, yeah, that's right. Production companies don't know how to make good shit.
Amanda
A lot of times it's like Snow White. I watched the trailer and it's fan made. It's just Gal Gadot from Wonder Woman and Rachel Ziegler. Ziegler from west side Story or Shazam Too. Hunger Games.
Shane
Yeah.
Spencer
Oh, yeah.
Amanda
She was in Hunger Games.
Shane
Yeah. Yeah.
Amanda
Birds of ballads of snakes and songs.
Shane
Birds of balance of snakes and whatever. Brian.
Amanda
Brian, Brian.
Shane
The last. The last thing that I check that I'm not going to bore you with is sports stuff.
Amanda
Honestly, there's a lot of people who love sports stuff. It just doesn't excite me, and that's okay.
Shane
Look, man, the. The MVP race this year. Who knows, man?
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Rock Purdy was going to potentially take it, but I think Lamar might end up sweeping in.
Amanda
You're just right.
Shane
See, Marcus is in the room, and he.
Amanda
So Lamar is Marcus.
Shane
I know. Cares because he's a 49ers fan. And by the time this episode airs, who knows what's going to be happening right now?
Spencer
The super bowl will be right around the corner.
Shane
I know.
Spencer
No, it will be. It will ironically be.
Amanda
The Super bowl is February 11th.
Shane
The Super bowl is February 11th.
Spencer
And the 49ers are in a good position this year.
Shane
They're in a good position, but they're not locked in for the number one seed yet as of recording this Seed. Yeah.
Amanda
Okay.
Shane
You got to get the number one seed because then you get home field advantage throughout the playoffs. It's actually so crucial.
Amanda
So who's performing at the Super Bowl?
Shane
Who's performing at the Super Bowl?
Amanda
If you don't know, I don't know who you.
Shane
Wait, actually, wait. I do know this. Who was it?
Spencer
Sounds like you fucking don't know this.
Amanda
Sounds like you don't know. Should I ask people?
Shane
No, I forgot.
Amanda
Is it.
Shane
Is it Usher? It's Usher.
Spencer
That's crazy.
Amanda
What?
Shane
Usher.
Spencer
Ursha, baby, it's Usher.
Shane
Oh, also, really quick going back to pop culture stuff. I remember I said, I'm going to start listening to albums more. Like, I'm like. I'll be like, I'll listen to an album every week.
Amanda
Yes.
Shane
I said that as one of my.
Amanda
Oh, yeah, I've been doing it.
Shane
I've been doing it. I. My. My first one that I listened to, I was like. Because I just went on to Spotify.
Spencer
And I was like, you typed in music.
Shane
I was just like, I'll do music.
Amanda
Music for Men.
Shane
First album.
Spencer
Esquire.com Esquire.com Music.
Shane
What's music? What music should I listen to?
Spencer
Guys, I'm looking to get into music this year.
Shane
The first album I listened to was that Olivia Rodrigo album.
Amanda
It's great.
Shane
It's actually really great.
Amanda
She is a very talented singer that.
Shane
Could have been released in 2005 and it would have just fit.
Amanda
I know. Vampire.
Shane
It was, it was really dope. That first song. All America is All American Bitch, Whatever. Is that, Is that, That's what the name of the song I love. Can I say that? Can I say that? Can I say that?
Spencer
She is a powerful.
Shane
That song is straight up a 2005.
Amanda
It is. That's, that's her vibe. Honestly. Vampire is my favorite one.
Shane
The songs are really dope. Then I also listened to that Mitsky album, the. The Earth or the. Everything is.
Spencer
Can we get a, can we get a wellness check on this guy?
Shane
What?
Amanda
What the land is.
Spencer
He's going through his early 20s white girl phase.
Shane
The land is inhospitable. And so are we. That's. I'm picking kind of random.
Amanda
I actually haven't heard them.
Shane
These are like big albums from, like this past year. So they were just kind of there and I was like, okay, well, listen.
Amanda
To these and you listen to.
Shane
I'm getting a lot of wrecks. I'm getting a lot of wrecks from people. I did. I listened to that Mitsky album while I was working out and it is not crazy. Not a workout album.
Spencer
That's crazy.
Shane
I was like doing Bench Press with like, the saddest fucking song playing.
Amanda
You know what, though, Shane? I love you because you're so committed. You're like, I'm gonna listen to this album.
Shane
Cause I only listen to music when I'm working out. I don't really listen to it much otherwise.
Amanda
You don't listen to it when you cook? You cook all the time?
Shane
No, I usually have a TV show or something on when I'm cooking.
Amanda
You know what? You gotta listen. I don't know.
Spencer
You know what?
Amanda
You know what I've been listening to recently is Bonnie Raitt Radio, not Bonnie Raitt Radio. Bonnie Tyler. Bonnie. Oh, my God, what's her name?
Shane
You're losing your mind.
Spencer
Bonnie Tyler. I think they're both, I think, I think those are both.
Amanda
Bonnie Tyler radio. So it's like Journey. It's all these, like old school things. And I'm like, oh, my God. I'm like an old. I'm like a dad. But it's great.
Shane
Yeah, I'll do that when I'm 60.
Amanda
Okay, wait, what's your newest wreck of albums so I can listen to it?
Shane
Oh, I've gotten so many recs from people. I, I, I, I need to go through.
Amanda
What's the one you're gonna go to next?
Shane
I have one that I. Cause like, I also did like, oh, I Have a couple. I have one that maybe you would like. Spencer. I have. Okay. Computer by Radiohead that I've never listened to.
Amanda
What? That's one of my favorite albums.
Shane
I've listened to some songs from.
Amanda
He's probably like that because Computer's in the title.
Spencer
No, you're right. You're right.
Amanda
Game on. And that's the buzz destroyed him.
Shane
That's the buzz destroyed him. Dude.
Amanda
Spencer knows I love it.
Shane
I don't know. I, I, I'm saying fans have been like, commenting a lot of Rex and I, I haven't like, written them down. I need to just go through and look at all these comments again.
Spencer
And if I gave you an album, would you listen to it?
Shane
Yeah, I need.
Amanda
Tell me what album I'm trying to listen to.
Spencer
I don't know, man.
Shane
Is it gonna be Weezer? I've listened to some Weezer albums.
Spencer
That's crazy.
Shane
Back in the day, I had no.
Spencer
That'S just, that's so like, just like when we were doing like, the top three albums, that was, I was so. It's just.
Shane
Yeah, it's.
Spencer
Or not top three albums, doing top three artists. Like, it's, it's just so funny the ways that people, like everybody listens to music differently, and that is, like, so fascinating to me. Like, you just like, kind of jump. You like jumping into Mitsky is like, really funny to me.
Shane
I just am picking.
Spencer
Yeah, that's, that's like crazy.
Shane
I'm just like, all right, that one.
Amanda
I'm kind of picky. I can't just listen to a whole album unless I'm into it.
Spencer
Yeah, same.
Shane
See, I'm committed. I'm like. Cuz, cuz I don't listen to albums, so it's not a thing I do. But so any album, I'm like, it's gonna be.
Amanda
Albums are so good from start.
Spencer
But you don't, you don't really even listen to, like, musical artists for the most part.
Shane
Like, I find I'll just listen to, like, I'll get served a song about I like that song and I'll listen to that. I'm not like, into like, oh, this artist and their, their, their sound or their lyrics or something. I'm just not, I'm not like a music person. I love music, but I'm not like, you're not nerdy. I'm not understanding about it, like, the way I'm into movies or TV shows.
Amanda
Do you go see live?
Shane
I have, I've seen, I've seen like, Florence and the Machine live. The first concert I ever went to was Hilary Duff, which was insane. This was back forever ago.
Spencer
That's crazy.
Shane
I've seen a Rolling Stones concert. Whoa, whoa.
Amanda
Okay.
Shane
I've seen a couple concerts. Yeah, I've been to. I actually got to one of the sickest ones was. It was like a. It's one of those, like, recorded things, so we got to go for free and be, like, the audience for this, like, TV spot. Recording for. Oh, they sing Black Parade. Oh, yeah.
Amanda
My Chemical Romance.
Shane
My Chemical Romance. Yeah. And that was rad. That was rad because we were, like, right there.
Amanda
That's incredible.
Shane
That was fun. No, I like music. I just. I'm not a nerd.
Amanda
I believe that, you guys.
Spencer
I like music. I'm just not fucking weird about it.
Shane
I'm just not. Like, there's not a. I'm not. I don't listen to albums. I don't, like, sit and listen to music.
Amanda
That is okay.
Shane
I'm also just not good at deciphering lyrics, like, really genuinely bad. I'll listen to songs and I don't hear the words.
Spencer
Do you use Apple Music or Spotify?
Shane
I need to switch. I've heard Apple music is better.
Spencer
I'm locked in on Apple music. It's carried my music library since I was literally middle school. So I've got, like, 20 years of music on that.

Spencer
I'm addicted to the shindo.
Amanda
I can't. I. Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're fine.
Shane
But I listen to individual songs. I've never listened to be, like, this artist. I listen to their music.
Amanda
Once you listen to their whole album, I feel like you understand them. Do you wanna know what my first concert was? Yeah.
Shane

Amanda
1996 with my mother. Michael Bolton.
Shane
You've told me this before.

Shane
Yes.
Spencer
It was. It was. They did this thing over in Pasadena, and it was like. They, like, tweeted about it, and they're like, hey, we have, like, 200 spots for this. And as the Lonely island was doing there, they were doing a test for, like, their big live show, which was gonna be like, the next month or something. And it was, like, kind of their first time, like, really playing live. And so it's this really small venue in Pasadena, Lonely Island. Like, it was just, like. It was so loud. It was the smallest room. And then they brought out Michael Bolton at the end, and he couldn't remember any of the lyrics.
Shane
No, that makes it so much better.
Spencer
And it was great because they were doing, like, one of my favorite songs, which is whatever the Pirates of the Caribbean song is, like Jack Sparrow. This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow. And I was like, he couldn't remember any of his fucking shit. But they were. They all sounded so good. They were killing it. It was amazing. It was one of the best. Like, you were right there. And, like, they're one of my favorite bands.
Amanda
So fun. I would have loved to see that. Because when he joined up with him, I was like, hell, yes.
Spencer
It's so funny.
Amanda
He's so good that. That I said I loved you but I lied. That music video. He's wearing jeans and he's walking on water.
Spencer
Jesus.
Shane
Oh, man. 90s music videos. Insane. I always think about, like, Seal, Kiss From a Rose and stuff where it, like, intertwines with the Batman.
Amanda
That was for the Batman. I remember being obsessed.
Shane
Good. Good shit. Okay, well, I'm gonna continue listening to albums, and I'll listen.
Spencer
I'm gonna continue diving into music.
Shane
I'm into music.
Amanda
I'll give you some recs. Yeah.
Shane
Celine Dion.
Amanda
Oh, Michael Bolton, obviously. Celine Dion. Cher. Bonnie Tyler. Hello, Journey. Honestly, I will say that sounds so Boston to me, but Journey is fantastic.
Shane
Can I. Can I say something controversial?
Amanda
What?
Shane
I do not like Don't Stop Believin'neither.
Amanda
Do I.
Spencer
You don't like the Family Guy episode where they all sing it?
Shane
I just. I think I've heard it too much.
Amanda
In My life, everyone.
Shane
Nobody obsessed. I was under the impression that everybody was obsessed with that song. Cause I swear to God, I can't go to a karaoke bar without it fucking.
Amanda
Well, that's just because people are afraid and they only choose the known songs. But faithfully.
Spencer
Faithfully's a banger.
Amanda
That's my high school song, dude.
Spencer
Love and touching. Squeezin.
Amanda
That one's great.
Spencer
That one gets me hyped as hell.
Amanda
The lights. Lights.
Spencer
Wheel in the sky.
Shane
Oh, wait, I know that. I think I know that one. Lights in the city.
Amanda
Yes.
Spencer
Oh, isn't that from. No, I'm thinking of another song.
Amanda
Wow.
Shane
All right.
Amanda
We could talk forever.
Shane
But we have a little end segment we wanted to do. Oh, yeah, smart mouth. Where Amanda and I try to say facts that the other person doesn't know. And if the other person knows it, they lose. Spencer, if you. If you can.
Amanda
Spencer, if you think.
Shane
Neither of us know.
Amanda
Mine are going to be all celebrity facts.
Shane
You only need one. But okay. I struggled because I forgot that we were doing this. And then I was like, shit. But I had something that occurred to me this morning or that I saw this morning, and it actually blew my mind. Even though it's something that we all should know. I can begin here. How many weeks are in a year? I know I. I, like, if I did the math, I would know it, but it actually shocked me so much that I was like, ah.
Amanda
Who? No. What?
Spencer
Yeah.
Amanda
52.
Spencer
That's. Is that not the answer?
Shane
Yeah, you got 52.
Spencer
When I saw was your fact.
Shane
But no, okay, I didn't have. I didn't. I said I forgot.
Spencer
Did you fucking know? Dude, how many days are in a week? This is the answer. May surprise you.
Shane
Obviously it's obvious.
Amanda
Yeah, but that's easy.
Shane
But when I thought about it and I was just like, 52 weeks feels way like. I swear last year had 300. I swear there were 300.
Spencer
I swear to God.
Amanda
That's because there was.
Shane
I swear there was 300 weeks.
Amanda
There was.
Shane
I saw that and I was like, there's no way there's 52 weeks. And I actually had to calculate it on my phone. And I was like, there actually is. That's impossible. And I'm still struggling with it.
Spencer
That's impossible.
Amanda
Music.
Spencer
So, guys, I was. I was checking out this thing called music and I found out there are 52 weeks in a year.
Amanda
Music. 52. Who am I? Jackie Chan movie. Who am I?
Spencer
I love that movie.
Amanda
I was obsessed with.
Spencer
Dude, I had that shit on vhs. Me too.
Amanda
Oh, my God, I've seen so many.
Spencer
When he sings the theme song at the end, I forget he sings the theme song at the end.
Amanda
Let's watch a Jackie Chan.
Spencer
I would love to watch. Who Am I?
Amanda
Oh, I probably. Who am I?
Spencer
Yeah, it's.
Amanda
Hello.
Spencer
The snake venom out of that movie.
Amanda

Spencer
You're thinking of Operation Condor.
Amanda
Yeah. Wasn't that Jackie Chan?
Spencer
Yeah. Yeah.
Amanda
Okay.

Oh, I thought you were talking about it. Yeah. When they get the Nazi gold.
Amanda
Nazi gold.

Spencer
Dude, when he. Wait. When he rolls down the hill in that ball thing. When he rolls down the hill, that ball thing. You know those, like. You know those things we did in summer games where you guys get in the ball? They send him down like, a mountain in one of those.
Shane
Yep.
Spencer
Did you ever watch a Jackie Chan's First Strike with the.

The.
Spencer
With the. The skis? Yep.
Amanda
He does all of his own stunts.
Shane
What other Jackie Chan.
Spencer
Rush Hour.
Amanda
Rush Hour.
Spencer
Dude, with the end when he runs over the guy's house in a hovercraft and it ends on a freeze frame.
Amanda
That's so good. Okay, so that's. That's.
Shane
All right.
Amanda
That's Jackie Chan.
Shane
Let's see if I can. If I can nail some of this celebrity gossip stuff.
Amanda
Which female actor turned down Saturday Night Live? I don't know why I'm creating this into a question, but I'm just.
Spencer
I saw Sarah Ronan turn down the role in Sarah.
Amanda
She. Ronan?
Spencer
No, the Marvel.
Amanda
You know why? Because she doesn't want to get stuck in a franchise. She wants to keep doing these.
Shane
Who turned down Saturday Night Live?
Amanda
Female. Big. Female actor.
Shane
Huge. She's.
Spencer
Older.
Shane
Older.
Spencer
Huge.
Shane
I'm gonna go with. What's her name? From Home Alone. And.
Spencer
No, I was gonna say Judi Dench.
Amanda
Honestly, this person is not who you'd expect to get on Saturday Night Live. You'd be like.
Shane
But they got offered. So they went through the whole audition process of Saturday Night Live.
Amanda
They turned down.
Spencer
Oh, I thought they turned down a guest spot.
Shane
No, they were gonna.
Spencer
Oh, they were gonna be on it.
Amanda
They turned down being a cast member. I think this was, like, back in the day. Like, think less of, like, the auditioning now.
Spencer
Chevy Shanes.
Amanda
Well, not. Not 70s, 80s, maybe 80s. Yeah, they turned it down because they were like. I heard women aren't respected on this show.
Spencer
Valid.
Amanda
They were dumb. They said they were dumb. Young. Dumb and young.
Shane
I don't know.
Amanda
She's on A huge sitcom.
Spencer
Roseanne Barr.
Amanda
No.
Shane
Currently.
Amanda
No. Was one of the biggest syndicated sitcoms.
Spencer
Sitcoms. Oh, Elaine.
Shane
Ellen DeGeneres.
Amanda
No.
Shane
I don't know.
Amanda
Jennifer Aniston.
Spencer
Whoa.
Shane
What?
Amanda
Yeah.
Spencer
Did I know that?
Amanda
Pretty cool, huh? Pretty cool stuff.
Shane
She actually would have crushed on Saturday.
Amanda
Night live, so I think she would too.
Shane
She's so funny. I. In an alternate universe, if Jennifer Aniston became famous now, I think she would have gotten to do way wackier comedy stuff.
Spencer
I'm trying to think, like, any wacky movie I've seen her in, though.
Shane
She's always. But she always had.
Amanda
That's what I mean.
Shane
But she always had to play. She had to play.
Spencer
She had to play Jim Carrey's wife.
Amanda
She. She was in horrible bosses.
Shane
She got to that. But that's, like, when those types of roles, I feel like, were offered a little bit more. I think if she became famous now, she would have been able to do more of the, like, insane stuff, and we would have been like, wow.
Amanda
Do you want to hear two quick ones?
Shane
Sure.
Amanda
Nicole Kidman has a phobia of butterflies.
Spencer
She's just like Olivia.
Amanda
Olivia and Ke$ha with a ghost.
Spencer
That's crazy.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
And Ashton Kutcher's real first name is Christopher, and that's all I've got for you on smart mouth.
Shane
Well, I didn't know any of.
Amanda
Can you imagine Chris Kutcher? Yikes.
Shane
Chris Kutcher. Get out of here.
Spencer
52 weeks, man.
Amanda
Well, Spencer, let's go play Five Nights at Freddy's.
Spencer
And we will be playing Five Nights at Freddy's 2 very soon.
Shane
Yeah, I think you can expect it in the next week or so on the smosh games channel. Go watch it, support it. And then we'll end up having to play five nights at Freddy's three.
Amanda
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Spencer
Okay, start putting together your lore theories.
Amanda
No. Yeah, but I won't. Look, anything we should.
Spencer
We should do at the end, we should do, like. Okay, now you explain the lore to us. And, dude, I, like, honestly stretch. Goal. We get matpat on, and we have her explain the goal to mat. Or like.
Shane
Oh, you explain the lore to Matpat and he.
Spencer
And he. And he just has to sit there and listen.
Shane
Yeah, he cannot say anything. Yep. This is the plan.
Spencer
I think we can do it. I think we can get matpat.
Shane
We can do this.
Amanda
All right, let's get Matpat and Scott Cawthorn, maybe.
Spencer
Not him.
Amanda
Okay.
Shane
Yeah, not him. Just Matt.
