Taking on the Disney Princess Quiz

The episode kicks off with Shane and Amanda delving into the ever-popular Disney princess quizzes, a nostalgic nod to their younger years.

• Shayne (00:42): "We're going to do that through a multitude of personality quizzes that we found some legit ones and mostly stupid ones."

• Amanda (00:55): "Yep. But ones that I really want to know, like, what Disney princess am I?"

As they navigate through questions about favorite Disney movies, fears, and ideal soulmates, the hosts not only reminisce about their childhood favorites but also playfully critique the results.

• Shayne (06:05): "But they were never, like, Meyer Briggs."

• Amanda (07:04): "What do you think I'm gonna say? Shit. You know what I'm gonna say? Bar."

Their choices—Amanda identifying as Tiana from The Princess and the Frog and Shane as Belle from Beauty and the Beast—spark a light-hearted debate about the accuracy and relatability of these quizzes.

• Amanda (14:31): "Tiana. You are confident and have set clear goals that you intend on reaching, no matter what the obstacle."

• Shayne (14:43): "I am Belle. That's who I want to be."

• Amanda (06:21): "I think it's hard to answer for yourself because I wish some of them had timers, because I think sometimes we answer what we want ourselves to answer."

• Shayne (31:27): "Seeing other people cry can easily make you feel like you want to cry too."

Their discussions reveal a blend of skepticism and fascination, acknowledging both the fun and the limitations of such assessments.

• Amanda (38:35): "You naturally are like, oh, God, here we go."

• Shayne (38:44): "I wish I could freeze time so that I could like... read a bunch of books and like watch a bunch of movies."
