And I'm Amanda. And we have a very, very, very special guest with us today, Olivia Suay.
Olivia Suay

Yeah, the show is called cops.
Amanda
My dream, but I'll go.
Olivia Suay
You just wrapped the last season. Did you.
Shane
How long. How many episodes did you do?
Olivia Suay
I was in 20 out of 80 episodes.
Shane
That's crazy. So you really were repeating quite a bit.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, we're shooting about like 10 episodes a day.
Shane
That's exhausting.
Amanda
That's amazing.
Olivia Suay
Not when you love it. It's not exhausting when work is your passion.
Shane
What. What was. What was lunch like on those days?
Olivia Suay
Just like local 7 11, boiled eggs.
Amanda
Just roast beef sandwiches.
Olivia Suay
A lot of boiled eggs.
Shane
Wow.
Olivia Suay
And a lot of rock star energy.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
Oh, that makes sense.
Shane
For those listening, Olivia's makeup today is. Is on point. I just want to say it's.
Amanda
It's in its pre stages.
Olivia Suay
No, it's at its final stage.
Amanda
Oh, it's at its final stage. All right, great. I think Cops has changed you.
Olivia Suay
I'm famous now, so.
Shane
Well, it's an honor to have you here.
Amanda
It's an honor.
Shane
Acclaimed performer Olivia Sway.
Olivia Suay
I'm doing after this. I'll be doing press at Crackle.
Shane
Okay.
Olivia Suay
And then I'm gonna do Fallon tonight.
Shane
Wow, that's.
Amanda
I don't know what any of those are. And that sounds awesome.
Shane
You're gonna fly to New York for Fallon.
Amanda
Oh, Fallon. Jimmy Fallon.
Olivia Suay
Yeah.
Amanda
I love that. It's just last name.
Shane
Gonna go there and do YouTube challenges.
Olivia Suay
Right. And then immediately I'm flying to Kensington Palace. You could probably get in, miss, I don't know, Harambe.
Shane
Yeah, let's talk about that.
Amanda
Yeah, let's talk about it.
Shane
That happened about a month ago.
Amanda
That happened about a month ago.
Shane
Pretty incredible. That was the. The. The Internet was taken by storm by you not knowing.
Amanda
Harambe, I genuinely didn't know. And friends from home was so. Your reaction was so genuine. Like that is you, like kind of laughing in a way of like, what? Uhuh. And then like getting immediately into action of like a plan. Do you know how much research I did after that episode of what happened? Of why it happened? Of where the kid is?
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Where's the kid? Well, don't know.
Shane
Well, first of all, Because I wasn't expecting that conversation to come up when we talked about it. Yeah, I hadn't watched the video in like eight years. So when I was talking about it, I was just like, oh, yeah, the gorilla was looking at him. I did for that. Harambe did drag the kid around.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
So there was some justification there. But still, don't even get me started. It was insane to me. It was just insane that you just didn't know about it.
Amanda
I had no idea. And I asked my friend from home and she didn't know either and she was horrified. But my sister knew.
Shane
Of course. Your sister is a gamer. If you're online at all, you know about Harambe.
Amanda
How did you, how did you miss Harambe?
Shane
I also forgot, Olivia, you were mentioning this morning how you found out about Harambe.
Olivia Suay
It was a confusing time for me.
Shane
Okay, okay.
Amanda
Pre cops. Different.
Olivia Suay
I don't remember who I was.
Shane
Yeah, this is 2016.
Olivia Suay
Pre fame 2016.
Shane
This was 2016.
Olivia Suay
I've always liked.
Shane
You said that you found out about him.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, I was hearing people talk about Harambe. I didn't really know what was happening and people kept making jokes. And then I started actually understanding the scope of the story when, during the election, when people were writing Harambe on the.
Shane
He got the fourth most votes that year.
Amanda
I guess I didn't vote that year because, because I guess I missed that.
Olivia Suay
No, no, he's not on the ballot.
Shane
He wasn't on the ballot. He was a write in.
Olivia Suay
Wait, it's a. Harambe is a male?
Shane
Yeah. Oh, he was a silverback gorilla.
Amanda
Yeah, he, he was a silverback gorilla.
Olivia Suay
And a silverback gorilla also could be female.
Shane
I don't, I don't think, I'm not a biologist, but I don't think so.
Olivia Suay
Stop.
Amanda
I, I, we're just YouTubers.
Olivia Suay
Oh my God. I thought, I thought the whole thing was sad that I thought people were like, oh, like Harambe just thought that kid was her child. No, am I talking about a different.
Shane
There was a different one back in the day, back in the 90s.
Amanda
Don't even get me going.
Shane
Back in the 90s, there was another kid who fell into a gorilla pit and a female gorilla came up and like prot. And took care of him and kept the other gorillas away.
Olivia Suay
Yes.
Shane
And then they were able to get the kid out. Yeah, see that, that also happened. Kids need to stop jumping into the gorilla pit.
Amanda
How did they even get in there? I, that, that's where my thought was, is like, how did that kid even get into the gorilla.
Shane
I feel justified, okay. People might hate me for this. I feel justified in calling these kids stupid because I remember in the 90s when that kid fell into the gorilla pit. I was like 7 years old. And I remember me at 7 being like, that kid's dumb. I'm 7 years old and I would never jump in a gorilla pit. I feel like you learn pretty early on in life that gorillas can kill you.
Amanda
Why would you ever want to go? What would cause you to go into.
Shane
But I also. I also know because I was also this type of thinker, and I still am. When you're standing there, a lot of those enclosures at the zoo are not blocking you from getting in. Yeah, you could hop in if you wanted, but it's. There's a gigantic, dangerous animal in there. So I would have the intrusive thought of, like, I could hop in there, but I'm obviously not going to do it.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
But twice now in the past 30 years, kids have jumped in the gorilla pit.
Amanda
Well, I got.
Olivia Suay
Stop.
Amanda
I've been getting a lot of messages that keep saying, dicks out for Harambe.
Shane
Yes. That was a big move.
Olivia Suay
Yeah. What is that?
Amanda
To really just.
Shane
It was just a meme. I think it started on Vine. Just like, dicks out for Harambe.
Amanda
Tits out for Harambe.
Olivia Suay
I would love to see some people get into, like, an aquarium.
Shane
Oh, that's also. Did that happened recently? Like a couple months ago. What? That happened at a bass pro shop? A guy jumped.
Amanda
That's not an aquarium.
Shane
It was a big, big, gigantic tank that. No, bass pro shops are gigantic. And he jumped in, like, the big fountain tank, naked. And then he leapt out of it and fell like it was like 15ft. He fell and. Oh, my God, got fucked up. And the cops show up and arrested him.
Olivia Suay
I've never been to a bass.
Amanda
Is this a trick?
Shane
I'm not lying to you.
Olivia Suay
This.
Amanda
Why did he want to go in naked?
Shane
I don't know. Either he was really drunk or he's had a mental breakdown.
Amanda
I'm a merman.
Shane
Guy jumped in fully naked into the tank at a bass pro shop. That happened this year.
Amanda
Did anyone. Did he.
Olivia Suay
We were there.
Shane
He jumped there. He jumped out, fell out very awkwardly, landed on his ass, probably broke some bones. And the cops showed up and just aggressively, aggressively arrest.
Amanda
The cops showed up.
Shane
Yep. It was probably going to be on Cops.
Olivia Suay
Well, I was the streaker.
Amanda
You were the naked man who fell clumsily on his ass after jumping into the fountain.
Shane
Oh, the fall was brutal. He. He Got out of the tank in the worst possible way.
Amanda
No. Do you want to know? A dream of mine is. So the aquarium in Boston. You can actually scuba dive in it.
Shane
That's cool.
Amanda
You can, like, be. And I've wanted to do it forever and have yet to do it.
Shane
Okay, well, let's make it happen.
Olivia Suay
Pretty cool, Buckles.
Amanda
Yeah.
Olivia Suay
Okay.
Shane
You know that you could also scuba dive in the ocean.
Amanda
Yeah. And I can do that.
Olivia Suay
You can?
Amanda
Honestly, not in the aquarium. Can you imagine being underwater, seeing people and fish? I don't mean to be funny.
Shane
I genuinely just love that phrase. Like, can you imagine scuba diving and seeing people, like, and fish. And fish.
Amanda
I think I'm that dumb kid find going to the gorilla pit. Oh, boy.
Shane
Oh, my God. Anyways, but yeah, I think that's maybe where you got confused. Cause did you remember the one in the 90s? The gorilla in the 90s?
Amanda
No. Zero percent.
Shane
Oh, man. I love these gorilla stories when they happen. They're my people dot com.
Amanda
Where do I find these gorilla stories?
Shane
Oh, why is people.com not covering the guerilla stories?
Amanda
Because they're people.com. want a little bit of glamour?
Shane
You don't know people.com?
Olivia Suay
People magazine?
Shane
Yeah.
Olivia Suay
Why are you getting your news from People?
Shane
Valid question.
Amanda
Olivia, we cannot go down this road.
Shane
Amanda is on People.
Amanda
I've been validated. Yes.
Olivia Suay
You're kidding.
Amanda
I would love to be on it as a correspondent, but I'm not. I am just a.
Shane
She gave up being a news reporter years later.
Olivia Suay
Wait, isn't that, like, a tabloid magazine?
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Correct. Yeah, but they're the top.
Olivia Suay
But you get your news from it?
Amanda
Yes, correct.
Olivia Suay
Why?
Amanda
Well, because they're incredible. They figured out that two whales were having sex and they were both men, and that was really cool. That was a really cool story.
Shane
So they are covering some animal stories?
Amanda
Oh, yeah. They love animals. But as long as it has, like, a positive, they're not people. That's true.
Shane
I never thought of it.
Amanda
I never thought of it like that. Wow, good thing you're on Cops because you just investigated so much truth.
Olivia Suay
I know.
Amanda
You just blew up my world. Wow, you really are on Cops, guys.
Shane
Whales are not people. I can't make fun of you too much, Amanda.
Amanda
Yes, you can.
Shane
No, because we're about to talk about today, what I do, where I get a lot of my news. Unfortunately.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
The theme of this episode that we haven't addressed yet is all about Reddit. Uh, we're talking about.
Olivia Suay
Yikes. What?
Shane
What was that?
Olivia Suay
Sorry.
Shane
Okay, so we know she had a moment. We know that. Amanda, you are not on. Not very online, but I do know.
Amanda
That the Harambe clip went on Reddit.
Shane
Oh, of course.
Amanda
And it was like, top on Reddit.
Shane
So before we get into talking about, I'm gonna talk about some of my favorite subreddits. Some weird subreddits, some of the weirdest subreddits there are. There is a subreddit called rfunny. Just funny stuff.
Olivia Suay
I've seen that.
Shane
And the clip of you not knowing Harambe got on there, and it's at like 60,000 upvotes, which is extreme for Reddit.
Amanda
Great.
Shane
My fame is you're famous on Reddit. Actually, I can't think of another time when Smosh made it onto the front page of Reddit besides Ian and Anthony's announcement.
Amanda
Wow.
Shane
Like, clips. Like funny clips of ours never make it onto Reddit.
Amanda
And I love the title. That's amazing. I love the title that said YouTuber finds out about major life event. Or like, major event.
Shane
Yeah, no, Yeah.
Amanda
A lot of people are sending me messages from home and they're basically saying, how did you not know about Harambe?
Shane
It is embarrassing.
Olivia Suay
Well, I have a question.
Shane
Yeah. What's up, Olivia?
Olivia Suay
Like, why does Reddit look like that?
Shane
What do you mean?
Olivia Suay
It is very confusing.
Shane
It is confusing at first. I agree. It's confusing at first. And then you start to.
Olivia Suay
Because I'm getting that confused with this other thing called Cora.
Shane
Cora. I don't think I know Cora.
Olivia Suay
Cora is like when you ask, like, should my feet look like this? And then there's like a bunch of people going like, yes.
Shane
Oh. Anyways, Reddit has those too.
Olivia Suay
How do you navigate Reddit?
Amanda
Like, ask Jeeves.com I love Jeeves.
Shane
The way I can describe Reddit in a way, I think Reddit is just a collection of a bunch of communities. It's just forums where you go to these different forums and you can post, make posts, and comment on other people's posts. There is a community for everything. So anything you're into true crime Webslist. Absolutely. There are probably a million true crime subreddits.
Amanda
Well, they, they.
Shane
And also probably subreddits. They get so specific. I guarantee you there's a Gypsy rose subreddit. Oh, 100%.
Amanda
Of course there is.
Shane
There's one for every crime that's ever been committed. There's one for every Golden State Killer.
Amanda
Two of the websleuths helped her out during the Golden State Killer. They were finding her.
Shane
Yeah. And I. I'M sure there was aspects of Reddit that are involved. There's, there's small things like if you're into making bread, there's bread it. Where it's a subreddit. Subreddit where people post the bread that they're making or ask questions about bread. Very specific things. There's fashion advice for men and women.
Olivia Suay
And you're just chatting with people.
Shane
Just post. They post questions.
Olivia Suay
Can you talk? Can you have a conversation?
Shane
Yeah. So if you post a question, then people can comment and then you can respond, then the whole conversation threads.
Olivia Suay
But everyone sees it though.
Shane
Yeah.
Olivia Suay
Can you have private messages?
Shane
I think there are private messages on Reddit. I don't private message anyone because I'm just a lurker. I don't, I've never lurks. I've never, I've never posted on Reddit. Me just read a bunch on Reddit.
Olivia Suay
Me neither.
Shane
But I think you can private message and then, but people have these public conversations. But an aspect of Reddit that people like is that it's anonymous, like it's, it's nobody.
Amanda
Don't know who are.
Shane
One of my favorite stories about Reddit back in 2016 also, did you.
Amanda
Big year.
Olivia Suay
Big Year.
Shane
Did you know the meme of Ken Bone?
Olivia Suay
Yes, Ken Bone. Red sweater guy.
Shane
Red sweater guy. Okay. So yeah, it's okay. This one's not as big as Harambe.
Amanda
No, I didn't know SNL did a parody, but. Oh, okay.
Shane
So there was one of the debates between Hillary and Donald Trump. There was a guy who asked a question. His name was Ken Bone. He was just this kind of like, he almost looked like a Pixar character. Just this kind of like sweet guy.
Amanda
Sounding familiar.
Shane
A red sweater, bald guy. And he asked a very, like, people were just like, oh, what a, what a great question for both candidates. This guy truly is an undecided voter and he's just a very open minded guy and people just kind of fell in love with him because he just had this like bone wholesome charm to him. Right. So he eventually posts. There's a subreddit called Ask me anything where people can go on there and be like, ask me anything. We should do one sometime. Yeah. He went and did an ama and he had a Reddit account that he used for this and he was like, hi, I'm Ken Bone, Ask me anything. So people are asking questions. It's very sweet. But then because he did this post, people were able to know, oh, this is Ken Bone's Reddit account. And they went back and looked at all of his previous posts, and then the whole facade of this wholesome, sweet guy comes down because he had commented on pregnant porn subreddits a lot.
Amanda
Oh, people love pregnant women.
Shane
And there was one quote. There was one quote specifically that I very much recall where there is a scene where two women are in a pool. And he commented, wow, two beautiful submarines. Now, that's not the way really. That's not what really tarnished him.
Amanda
Fun.
Shane
That's not what really tarnished him. He also had other comments on more serious shit that people were like, oh, so his whole wholesome thing. I don't want to get into that here, because I want to. But, like, it was just like his. His whole thing was, like, revealed.
Amanda
Is pregnant porn a real thing?
Shane
Yes.
Amanda
Do you watch it?
Shane
No, but I know of it because I truly knew of it because of Ken Bone.
Olivia Suay
Wait, are they actually pregnant?
Shane
Yes, I think so. Yeah.
Amanda
Whoa, look, the submarine quote is kind of like.
Shane
Yeah, kind of funny.
Amanda
It's kind of fun.
Shane
It's kind of funny. That's not. I would say that's not what got him, like, canceled. He had some other comments. He had other posts and stuff. Same thing kind of happened with Simuliu from Shang Chi, that actor. He also had his Reddit account kind of revealed, and he had some, like, kind of like, edgy bro comments from, like, 10 years ago.
Amanda
Dude, Reddit. See, this is the thing with people. I can just be a literal lurker and, like, that's it. Whereas, like, Reddit. If you started to post, Shane, then you would have a trail.
Shane
Right?
Olivia Suay
You can post on people. Right.
Shane
But then you never reveal your Reddit account.
Olivia Suay
No, you can do, like, reviews on the bottom of the article.
Amanda
I can.
Olivia Suay
No, maybe you can't.
Amanda
I don't think I can because I have a lot of reviews, like, pent up, ready to go.
Shane
It sounds very similar to Reddit, but it doesn't.
Amanda
We don't. Pregnancy porn.
Shane
Reddit has everything. Like I said, there is. There is everything on Reddit. Everything.
Olivia Suay
It's scary.
Shane
And that includes. That includes porn.
Olivia Suay
There's porn on Reddit.
Shane
Yes, there is.
Amanda
Here's the thing I was listening to. I think I told you this. The people who created Reddit back in the day. Yeah, they. They started in college and it kind of. You know, how Reddit became the wild, wild West. They are actively trying to organize it. And I saw on our Harambe post that they made an announcement like, no hate speech or whatever. Like, they are actively trying to rein.
Shane
In the wild and it's a very. It's also a very controversial thing right now because they are trying to make it profitable for them. But what's great about Reddit is that it's like this free place for people. They. A big thing was that they banned third party apps.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
And. And that's big because there's a lot of people, you know, with disabilities where it makes it easier for them to access Reddit that they're getting rid of. Like, there's a lot of. A lot of stuff going on.
Amanda
How could they make money off of Reddit?
Shane
That's a good question. I don't know, but they're trying to figure out ways. But it also makes Reddit not as appealing in the process of doing it. And as we've seen with other apps over the years, it's often what kills them. That's what happened with vine back in the day was like they were trying to find ways to make it profitable and ended up collapsing.
Amanda
Just keep it free. But I will say it has gotten wild on Reddit. Yeah.
Shane
Oh, Reddit has.
Olivia Suay
It's always been wild.
Shane
Reddit has some absolutely toxic communities on it. I'll bring up. I'll bring up some Passport Bros. What's Passport Bros? Oh, that's. That's on Reddit stories. Yeah, you'll see it there. But I'll bring up some others in a little bit. So before I begin, let's hop into Reddit.
Amanda
Ew, this is so gross. This is. Fedoras are not your. No.
Shane
For those listening, I'm wearing a fedora and I think frankly, I look pretty good.
Amanda
No, no, no. It's a gray, light gray fedora. Like an IKEA couch with a satin black, like, extra. Like it just looks. No, no. You look like you're in the theater company from back in the day.
Olivia Suay
Oh, no.
Amanda
And you're like, I got the lead again. Oh, God, I hate it so much.
Shane
It's giving a little Sinatra.
Amanda
It's not giving Sinatra at all.
Olivia Suay
It's Sinatra.
Shane
It's giving a little Neo.
Olivia Suay
O.
Amanda
Okay, fine, fine. You can take Neo. That's fine. You can have Neo. Wait, keep. Put it back on. Yes, There we go.
Olivia Suay
There we go. There's Neo.
Amanda
There's Neo.
Shane
Let's talk about Reddit. Okay. What if I. What if I started having to wear this for every Reddit stories?
Amanda
How.
Shane
How fast would views plummet, do you think?
Amanda
I think that they would go up.
Shane
Skyrocket.
Olivia Suay
Yeah.
Shane
Let's do it. I'll do it.
Amanda
You're who memed. At cowboy outfit.
Shane
I just don't know if. If the producers would let me do it. I feel like Kiana would also be.
Amanda
Like, I'll write Kiana a letter. It's fine.
Shane
We'll write Kiana a handwritten letter. Okay, so there's a bunch of subreddits here. I just threw a bunch on here. I'm gonna go through a bunch. Let's start with something very tame.
Amanda
Okay.
Shane
A very normal subreddit. I like this subreddit a lot. And it's just Life Pro tips. People post like pro tips that they're like, hey, this helped me in my life a ton.
Olivia Suay
That's so nice that people are out there doing that.
Shane
Yeah, there's a lot of also super wholesome Reddits.
Olivia Suay
That's so sweet.
Amanda
So when you. So it's gonna be. When it's a subreddit, it's like, that's a specific community. Different. Okay, got it.
Shane
So if you clicked on that community, you would go there and you would only see posts that are related to that. And if you curate your own Reddit account, you can have a homepage that's only the stuff you want to see.
Amanda
Oh.
Shane
So Reddit can be very different for everyone. Got it. Now, Life Pro tips. Here's. Here's a couple examples. Here's a post. Life Pro tip. Professional house cleaning is cheaper than you think and can relieve stress in your relationship. Depending on your lifestyle, twice a month may be enough to keep your living space clean enough. This can offload chore burden as well as the resentment burden in many relationships. Cleaning session can run between 80 to $150, depending on the size of space. Completely worth it in the long term.
Amanda
I 100% agree with that. I was just saying that it would be so nice to just have someone come in and help like once in a while.
Shane
That's a great. That's a Life Pro tip, right?
Olivia Suay
That's great.
Shane
If you want that or not. Another one. Life Pro Tip. Never lend money if you wouldn't be comfortable considering it a gift. There's always a very real chance you won't get it back, and you need to be okay with losing that sum.
Amanda
That is true.
Shane
That is true. And there's just. That's. Every day people are just posting Life Pro tips for each other and then they talk about it underneath. But those were two that I found, like, from this past week.
Amanda
I love that.
Olivia Suay
That's great.
Shane
And then there's always offshoots of every subreddit. So you have Life Pro Tips. Now you have unethical life pro tips. And I found a good one from this week. Unethical life pro tip. If you have to fart on an airplane, wait until they're serving the in flight meals and everyone is opening them up. People around you will just think the food smells a bit farty and they won't suspect you.
Amanda
What year is this? We don't get meals anymore.
Shane
In flight Meals if it's a long trip, international if it's like a five hour trip. You typically get an inflight meal.
Olivia Suay
That is, That's.
Shane
It's super smart, though. It's unethical. I mean, it's. It's not unethical. What are you gonna do?
Amanda
The moment the food opens, you just let one rip.
Shane
Okay. I feel like I can say this because I'm wearing a fedora. What are you gonna do on a plane? Hold your farts for five hours, go.
Amanda
To the bathroom, shut the door, go.
Shane
To the bathroom to fart.
Amanda
Fart and flush it. Yeah.
Olivia Suay
Wait, you guys. This is a pro tip, though. You guys know when you're flushing the toilet in the bathroom, you should close the lid. No.
Shane
Oh, I close the lid when I flush.
Olivia Suay
What?
Shane
No, one of our. One of our.
Amanda
Why?
Shane
Cause it.
Olivia Suay
It sprays back at you. Especially in that.
Amanda
I've never experienced spray.
Olivia Suay
It's. You can't see it.
Amanda
I can't see the spray.
Shane
I've heard this. I don't. Yeah, I've heard that. It's like, it's good to close it before you close.
Olivia Suay
It's def. Like.
Shane
Yeah, well, one of toilets here doesn't have a lid, actually. I don't think.
Olivia Suay
But we're not on an airplane.
Amanda
We're not on the airplane. Yeah, he's never closed the lid because.
Shane
It'S turbulent and stuff.
Olivia Suay
Look at him. That and like the way it just like sucks it up. There's a lot of things that could.
Shane
Come out the toilets in, in. In Airplanes always scare me a little bit. Cause you press. You press it and it doesn't flush immediately. And then suddenly just like.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, yeah. And it just sucks.
Amanda
I always think when I have AirPods in that they're gonna fall in. Wait, I have to close the lid of airplane toilets?
Olivia Suay
Yes, you should.
Amanda
I've never once done that.
Olivia Suay
Oh, that's okay. You're okay.
Amanda
It means I'm covered in shit.
Shane
I mean, just covered in shit.
Olivia Suay
It's disgusting.
Amanda
Think about it.
Olivia Suay
Well, that space is so tiny. It's just like particles floating around in there.
Amanda
Shane, do you cover do you. Do you close the lid? I don't trust you.
Shane
I also. I also, for some reason, I hate to use the bathroom on a plane. Me too. I try to. What? Well, I also like to sit next to the window. And I hate, like, inconveniencing other people. So if I sit next to the window and I don't want to make people get up.
Amanda
You're crazy, man.
Olivia Suay
Do you love taking them on airplane?
Amanda
I love using the bathroom. I have to go to the bathroom like, every hour.
Shane
I love the bathroom.
Amanda
I'm an aisle only. Are you kidding me? I have such long legs. When I sit for a long time, they ache.
Olivia Suay
Yeah.
Amanda
So I get up and I'm like, this is an adventure. And then I go to the bathroom and I come back and I have to sit in the aisle. Cause I get really claustrophobic. I don't like the window.
Shane
Oh, yeah, yeah. I know that.
Amanda
But also, like, the window makes me feel very stressed out. Oh, I love the window.
Olivia Suay
I love the window because I like to lay my head in, like, the crevice.
Shane
I love to look at shit.
Amanda
So what if you have to really, really pee? You're not gonna inconvenience me.
Shane
I will if I have to really pee. Yeah. I'll get up and do it.
Olivia Suay
I prefer to pee in a cup, usually.
Amanda
That's awesome.
Olivia Suay
Yeah. Cause I hate entering a public bathroom.
Amanda
That's so exciting.
Shane
I really do hate public bathrooms.
Olivia Suay
Because if I go into one, I have to go home and take a full shower and wash my hair.
Amanda
But you don't touch your butt to the seat.
Olivia Suay
You just.
Amanda
No. You grip on for dear life and do a squat.
Olivia Suay
Yes, 100%.
Shane
I have to. I have to make contact. If I. If.
Olivia Suay
It's what? You have to. You have to sit.
Shane
If I. If. Unless I'm just going to use a urinal. Yeah, I have to.
Olivia Suay
You don't need to sit. You don't need to. I'm telling you, Shane, you can squat.
Shane
I can't.
Olivia Suay
Yes, you can.
Shane
I don't have the flexibility.
Olivia Suay
No, no, it's not about that. You can. You can squat.
Amanda
You can squat.
Olivia Suay
You can hold on to the walls.
Shane
I think I can.
Amanda
Gotta work on your flexibility. Also, one eye is in the dark right now.
Shane
I know. I'm mysterious.
Amanda
Okay. Yeah.
Olivia Suay
It's really giving double indemnity.
Shane
Nice.
Amanda
Nice.
Olivia Suay
In a bad way.
Shane
There's also Shitty Life Pro Tips.
Amanda
Oh, I love that title.
Shane
This kind of connects to what we're talking about.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Shitty Pro tip. Wash your hands many times. In a row so you won't have to later.
Amanda
No, absolutely not.
Olivia Suay
Definitely don't do that.
Amanda
Literally doesn't make any sense.
Shane
Then it. Then it succeeded. It's a shitty life. Pro tip. Okay, another one in the. I think this is actually a good pro tip, but it's just shitty. In the event of a tornado or other such natural disaster, place wieners and. Or cheese slices in your pockets so the search dogs will find you first.
Amanda
Wait, that's actually amazing. But who has wieners and cheese sticks on the reg?
Shane
Have. Have wieners. Cheese sticks. Like, you know, if a major earthquake were to happen, quickly grab some wieners and put them in your pockets so that you're stuck under rubble. The search dogs are gonna find you because they want some.
Amanda
I love that pro tip. It's kind of dark, but I love it.
Olivia Suay
Okay, but where am I gonna get that.
Amanda
Store?
Olivia Suay
No, no, no, no. But, like, if it's happening right now.
Amanda
I can't always have a bath.
Shane
Well, yeah, you just need to. You need to probably have the wieners, like, on you at all times.
Olivia Suay
Wait, this is like.
Shane
Just have a. Have a hot dog in your pocket always.
Amanda
Yeah.
Olivia Suay
I'm glad.
Shane
Which is always good, because then if you get stranded somewhere, you have a little snack.
Olivia Suay
Yes. And hot dogs are so, like, cylindrical and slim.
Shane
Exactly. Yeah.
Amanda
But you could probably still see it through your pants. So.
Olivia Suay
You know what?
Shane
Why don't we just impress people?
Amanda
No, not for me. Not for me.
Shane
This guy does that.
Amanda
He just comes in with six wieners.
Olivia Suay
We're all like, ladies, I think I'm gonna just always keep a little Slim Jim in my pocket.
Shane
Smart.
Olivia Suay
I think it is smart. I think from this day on, right now, I'm telling you, I'm actually gonna go.
Shane
We're gonna hold you to that in the next. In a video. At some point, Olivia, I'm gonna just ask you if you have a Slim Jim in your pocket.
Olivia Suay
No, I.
Shane
If you don't, I'm gonna be disappointed.
Olivia Suay
Guys, I have a pair of jeans, right? There's two.
Amanda
That's good.
Shane
That's crazy.
Olivia Suay
I know. This part is crazier. There are two packets of Taco Bell hot sauce in my left pocket. It's been in there for seven months.
Amanda
That makes me sick.
Shane
Why? What?
Amanda
If you sit on it, it explodes.
Shane
Front pocket.
Olivia Suay
No, that's the exciting part. That is the exciting part, because it hasn't yet, and it will one day, but it hasn't, so that's exciting.
Shane
You want it to happen.
Olivia Suay
No, I don't want it to happen, but I just know that it could happen very soon because it's very wrinkly and it is very warm. It is in there. There's two.
Amanda
Please don't use them.
Shane
You're never gonna use them.
Olivia Suay
No, I think. I just love that it's in there. And I think in 20 years, I can look back and I can still. I'm like, wow, this is my two hot sauce packets from 2023.
Amanda
This is Olivia's adrenaline rush, I think.
Olivia Suay
So it's exciting.
Amanda
You know, it sounds exciting, but I feel like I would think about it all the time.
Shane
I would be always worried. Yeah, maybe. You like that? You like that? Is that why you don't sit on any seats?
Olivia Suay
Oh, you know what's interesting? Okay, so the thing is, those jeans are in my closet right now being pressed with a bunch of other pants. So it could be completely fucked.
Amanda
So that means you haven't washed your jeans in seven months.
Olivia Suay
I have a lot of jeans.
Shane
Okay.
Olivia Suay
I don't really need to wear that pair.
Amanda
Do you just love knowing that it's in there with hot sauce in it?
Olivia Suay
Yeah.
Amanda
Wow. I learned something new every day.
Shane
You know, we all.
Olivia Suay
It's like, things like that. Like, I'll keep spoons and packets of other sauces in my bag. I have a lot of stuff in my purse.
Amanda
That'S so interesting. I'm like the opposite. When I know it's in there, I'm like, I gotta. I gotta clean it out.
Olivia Suay
Oh, no, no. I also have little candies in my purse that's over a year old and it's melting, actually.
Shane
I do believe this. Yeah.
Olivia Suay
Yeah. It's fun.
Shane
Hey, look, if it brings you joy, I can't hate it.
Olivia Suay
It's not necessarily joy. It's just.
Amanda
I think it's just something that she needs to do, like an old lady.
Olivia Suay
So Slim Jim, starting from today, I'm gonna Slim Jim.
Shane
Got it. This is great. You know what? There's weird things that bring us joy in life, and I think that brings us to some of our next subreddits. There's a subreddit called Bread Stapled to Trees.
Amanda
I don't like this on where people.
Shane
Staple bread to trees.
Amanda
Why?
Shane
They take photos of it and then they share it with each other.
Amanda
Why do we keep herding trees?
Shane
It's kind of like this.
Olivia Suay
And bread.
Shane
Take a look. That's the type of stuff we're looking at here.
Olivia Suay
That's a good slice of bread.
Shane
Yeah. Just people sticking bread to trees, having a good time.
Olivia Suay
Oh, so birds can eat it.
Shane
Sure. I don't think that's their intention, but I actually, I don't know the full depth of this community. So maybe people can comment down below. You know, if they are part of this community, what the purpose is.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, why?
Shane
But they just staple bread to trees and they have fun with it. Another one that's similar and I really love this one. This is a community called long furbies.
Olivia Suay
What is it? What's the first word?
Shane
Long furbies. And people make long furbies and they're actually kind of incredible that people love to modify their furbies.
Amanda
Wait, how did they.
Shane
Look at that. Look at that. Wow.
Olivia Suay
That's beautiful.
Shane
They are artistry.
Amanda
Wait, I actually love that I was obsessed with furbies.
Shane
Long furbies is really incredible. That picture is gorgeous.
Olivia Suay
I know.
Shane
I love that. I know. No, she's the hands. I think she's serving.
Olivia Suay
She is serving and she know would be great.
Amanda
Is going to an art show where there's all long furbies everywhere.
Olivia Suay
Maybe they have that. I'm sure they have.
Shane
Yeah. For those listening, basically they take a furby head and they make it so that the furby is more of a snake or like a sandworm from Dune. That's really what these look like. The second furby we showed has arms like full on arms on a seat, sitting down, big ears. Some might say they're terrifying, but I.
Amanda
Think I love people.
Shane
People are so really fun.
Amanda
Fascinating and interesting.
Shane
No. And so many subreddits are very fun.
Olivia Suay
Not all people.
Amanda
True. You're on cops. You've seen a lot of bad people.
Olivia Suay
Mm.
Shane
Here's another good subreddit rpocket sand. Now this is a community of people who talk about the benefits of keeping a little bit of sand in your pocket at all times.
Olivia Suay
Sometimes I have that.
Shane
Yeah. So they have it there first for possibly self defense. So you have pocket sand for. If an attacker comes up to you, you got pocket sand, you throw it in their eyes. And that's what everyone on the subreddit talks about. They talk about keeping pocket sand on.
Amanda
A lot of sand.
Shane
Well, so here's a post from it had to actually use my pocket sand on someone. It was 8pm I was walking through a small forest in the middle of town. Since it was a shortcut from the track, I was practicing act practicing at a large man in a dark jacket and black beanie came up to me and asked for directions. Without hesitating, I told him where he needed to be. He then opens his jacket and shows me his pocket knife. You know the drill. He said with a slight creepy smile. As I'm reaching for my wallet, I realized I just came back from long jumping and there was a load of sand in my pockets from the pit we jump into. Also, I always reload there. Yeah, just a second. As I pretend to take out my wallet, I scoop up the leftover long jump sand. I withdraw it, pushing into his face, and yell, bam. Pocket sand, motherfucker. He shouts. Ah, my eyes. What the fuck, man? Then I took off, sprinting into the bushes.
Olivia Suay
Out.
Shane
Thank you, pocket sand. You saved my life.
Olivia Suay
Okay, come on.
Amanda
Is this real?
Olivia Suay
Is this real?
Shane
A man, a person posted this.
Amanda
If a man in a huge jacket and a beanie had a knife and was like, you know the drill. I wouldn't be like, haha. I reloaded and got my pocket sand. Like, I don't think my brain would go there. I'd go, you, here's my wallet. I don't know.
Olivia Suay
I would go, you know the drill. Stop, drop and roll.
Shane
I actually, Olivia, I think if you said that, I think you would confuse them enough that you might get away.
Amanda
They would walk away.
Shane
I think they would be like, you know what? Not today.
Olivia Suay
No, that's the thing. When things like that happen, you gotta like, out creep them, you know, like, you wanna see what's in my jacket? Haha. Nothing, bitch.
Amanda
I knew, I knew.
Olivia Suay
I'm naked in here.
Amanda
Olivia is the biggest creep at smosh. In the best way.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amanda
Wow. I need to get some pocket sand. I need to get pocket sand unarmed.
Shane
I know.
Olivia Suay
Well, what about pepper spray?
Shane
It's just the more efficient version of.
Amanda
Pocket personal pepper spray is, like, it's hard to carry around. You can't like, have it linked to your belt walking around town or like.
Olivia Suay
A water bottle and just. And. And like toss it at them like.
Amanda
You know the drill. You just slowly undo it and they.
Olivia Suay
You just give them the ALS Ice bucket challenge.
Shane
Oh, fuck. Just carry around a bucket of ice with you at all times.
Amanda
I like the pocket sand.
Shane
So there's also a subreddit called Mirrors for Sale, which is a subreddit I think you'll love, Amanda. So this subreddit is. It's not a place where you sell mirrors. This is where people post photos that they find mostly on Facebook, Marketplace. Whenever people are selling a mirror, they take a photo of the mirror and be like, I'm selling this mirror. And they forget that they are in the photo. Okay, so you have shit like this.
Amanda
Okay, I would love this. Does she have a cigarette in her mouth.
Shane
She's just sitting there with a cigarette. She does not realize she's in that photo. You also get.
Amanda
Wait, this is so.
Shane
You also get stuff like this.
Amanda
A part of. Can't handle that picture.
Shane
So I can't handle that picture.
Amanda
Do they not know how funny that is?
Shane
That first one, the ladies. A lady just does not realize she's being seen in the mirror of this, like, vanity. And she is. She is just. She's over, cigarette in her mouth, curled up in a blanket, just like, all right, let's sell this piece of shit. The other one's great because it's clearly the wife taking the photo, and the guy is holding the mirror, and he's. It makes him look like.
Amanda
That's his body.
Shane
That's his body. It's so funny.
Amanda
They need an Instagram account or TikTok account of these, because they have.
Shane
No, those are the two that I found that are really solid, but it's a lot of that.
Amanda
And what is it called again?
Shane
It's called Mirrors for Sale. There's a lot of very specific. Like, if you find things in real life, you post it here. Another one. I'll scroll down. So there's some other ones that are similar. One is called TV Too High, where if people in their house or if you're out somewhere and there's a TV that's just put up way too high, they. They put it there. So, for instance, a guy is like, this is my friend's house.
Olivia Suay
Oh, my God, that's so.
Shane
And this TV is above the fireplace, nearly touching the ceiling.
Olivia Suay
Wait, but guys, go to that photo. Everything is too high in that house.
Shane
Oh, you're so right. You're so right. Everything. The shelves are really high.
Olivia Suay
Where are you gonna get that?
Shane
I know. Everything is really high in this house.
Olivia Suay
Look at this fake window.
Shane
I know. No, it's. It's disturbing. If you're listening, just imagine that everything is really high. There's another one that's clearly like, a DMV or something, and this TV is attached to the ceiling, and it's like a tiny tv. I'm like, who is that for?
Amanda
Do you guys remember airplanes? Like, when you were a kid? And the TVs would come down, like, really, really tiny, high up and so far away, and you only had one movie that you could watch.
Shane
Yeah. They'd be like, we're playing Last Holiday.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
Again. Oh, now we get to. I would argue this is one of my top three favorite subreddits of all Time. This one's called awful taste but great execution. This subreddit is gold. This is basically when you find things in life that poor taste, really weird. But man, did they execute. For instance, snail shoes. Look at these snail like, like wait, boots. They are. I don't know how to describe this. If you're listening, they are some high heeled. They're flesh colored, but like, they're stunning.
Amanda
Wait, they are stunning. You could be a snail for Halloween.
Olivia Suay
But that's really cool.
Shane
Perfectly executed. You also have this Furby tattoo.
Amanda
Is it farting hearts?
Shane
No, no, but that's like a, that's like a, you know, back, lower back tattoo.
Amanda
Lower back.
Olivia Suay
And also that Furby has a lower back tattoo.
Shane
I know, it's great stuff. So it's stuff like that and I love it.
Olivia Suay
What is it, what is it called?
Shane
Awful taste but great execution.
Amanda
Okay, you're kind of turning me on to subreddit.
Shane
Yeah, me too.
Olivia Suay
I'm really into this.
Amanda
Like, I always thought, I feel like, I always hear about like the weird stories that are kind of nasty.
Shane
Okay, about to get into that. There's another one that's similar to this and it's called. You'll like this. Cause you worked food industry. We want plates. And this is whenever people are at restaurants and they don't serve the food on a plate. You know how a lot of times they serve food in weird types of things and people get really tired of that. Here's a catering place where the salads are just out on a table.
Olivia Suay
Oh, no, you're kidding.
Shane
No, just salads just out. And they must think it's like artistic.
Amanda
They think it's artistic and it looks.
Shane
This one I think is all right, but cotton candy served on the top of a statue head.
Amanda
How many statue heads do they need to bring out to each table?
Shane
But I've, I've been to restaurants where they do that, where it's like it's served on like a flat rock or something like that.
Amanda
Except I, I. Except for like a sushi boat. Then I'm like, I'll take a boat.
Shane
Yeah, but it's got to be. Still, there's got to be some convenience for me.
Amanda
I've never ordered a sushi boat.
Shane
I just, I never have either. But I like the idea of them.
Amanda
Me too.
Olivia Suay
Okay.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
Just because to me, those things are sitting on a shelf gathering dust and then you're like, let's throw the food on this sculpture.
Shane
I know, I know there's a. There's nothing to show, but there's a subreddit called Our Amish and there's no posts.
Olivia Suay
Is it smash spelled wrong?
Shane
That's really good.
Amanda
Brilliant. Because they don't use technology.
Shane
It's just Our Amish.
Amanda
That's amazing.
Shane
Here's another. This is actually the last. There's some more normal ones. There's our shower thoughts. People just post shower thoughts. Like, just. Just interesting things to think about. For instance, sweatpants were made for physical activity, but wearing them in public makes you seem lazy.
Amanda
That is a fact. It depends on the sweatpants. The loose one is lazy. The tight one is.
Shane
I think the vibe has changed.
Amanda
But you can't work out in sweatpants. That's the thing.
Shane
That used to be what people did.
Olivia Suay
I love sweatpants.
Shane
I think that was before.
Amanda
I don't. What? I do not like sweatpants.
Olivia Suay
I almost wore sweatpants today, but then I was like, I don't want to.
Amanda
You could have. We can't see the bottom of you. I know.
Olivia Suay
But then it's just more of like a mental thing. Like, am I really gonna be that comfortable?
Amanda
Yeah.
Olivia Suay
Should I be that comfortable?
Amanda
I don't feel good in sweatpants.
Shane
I hate sweat.
Amanda
I feel what I hate in my house. I'd rather wear a long dress. Why?
Shane
I.
Amanda
What? I hate sweatpants.
Shane
I'm weird. I'm. I am. I think I'm weird. I don't love super soft fabric.
Olivia Suay
Oh, my. What?
Amanda
You are weird.
Olivia Suay
You don't like comfort.
Shane
I like comfort, but I don't know. I don't love super, like. For instance. For instance. For instance, like, this sweatshirt that I wear all the time. It's terry cloth.
Olivia Suay
Oh, it's.
Shane
I don't like. I don't like fleece. I love, like, terry cloth. I love, like.
Amanda
So you don't like warm comfort and love.
Olivia Suay
Also, I know this about Shane. He doesn't use a blanket.
Shane
Yeah, I've gotten. I've had to change that a little bit over the years.
Amanda
I'm sorry.
Shane
I love. I overheat, I think so. I like to often just lay on top of my duvet.
Amanda
So you just sleep flat out in, like, a towel.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
Here's the thing. I want to be wrapped in linen or cotton 24 7.
Olivia Suay
I hate linen. I hate linen.
Amanda
Linen is my favorite thing for linen ever.
Shane
The in between. It's the in between. It's not too soft.
Amanda
I would wear it every.
Olivia Suay
I only wear linen in the summer.
Amanda
No, I literally want to pretend like I'm on a beach 24 7.
Shane
Oh, see, that's okay.
Amanda
You and me get it.
Olivia Suay
But, guys, it's not soft.
Shane
No, no, but it's great.
Amanda
It's breathable and it's loose and it always looks good.
Olivia Suay
So wear, like, silk.
Amanda
Silk looks great, but it shows off everything.
Olivia Suay
I cannot believe that you guys don't wear sweatpants. That's crazy.
Shane
I own sweatpants that I just never wear.
Amanda
I own.
Olivia Suay
Would you rather wear jeans over sweatpants?
Amanda
No. No, no.
Shane
Yeah.
Olivia Suay
What about airports?
Shane
I wear. I wear jeans on airplanes. Yep.
Amanda
No, I do not wear jeans on airplanes. I wear linen or I wear spandex. Like. Like workout yoga pants. I'd rather wear those.
Shane
I wear. I wear jeans on planes all the time.
Amanda
Okay, well, that's crazy.
Shane
Well, this brings me into the next subreddit. There's a subreddit called the 10th Dentist. The 10th Dentist is a subreddit where people post unpopular opinions that they firmly believe in. You know, it's like 9 out of 10 dentists recommend this. So what's the deal with the 10th dentist?
Amanda
Wow. People are genius with titles.
Shane
So this is for really extreme unpopular opinions. I could probably post that. I'm like, I like wearing jeans on airplanes. And maybe. Here we go. Here's some. I never spit out my toothpaste, and I think doing so is gross. I know the complete opposite is true. Swallowing toothpaste isn't good for you, but I've just never been able to do it. For some reason, even being in the room with someone who spits it out makes me gag and dry. Heaven. I genuinely find it so disgusting and repulsive. I think I would throw up if I did it myself. Not sure why. Anyway, I've been swallowing toothpaste for my whole life, and I haven't had any problems. That.
Amanda
That actually makes me want to gag. That's disgusting.
Shane
Someone's been swallowing a lot of toothpaste.
Amanda
Spit and nastiness. And you're swallowing it like. Like all the nastiness you brush out of your teeth.
Olivia Suay
I'm swallowing it.
Amanda
That's so gross.
Olivia Suay
That's disgusting.
Amanda
Yeah, well, that's the worst part.
Shane
Here's another one. This one funny for us, since I'm getting into this, but someone posted Music is boring and not remotely entertaining. Just what the title says. I can never just listen to music. It's always so bland. And I just can't get any enjoyment or genuine emotion out of auditory artistry. Don't get me wrong, I've tried to listen to music. I've listened to so many different genres, and they're all so bland and I can't remember any of it. It all just turns into big mush. I always hear people critiquing music in media, video games, movies, etc. When for me it's always. It always fades into the background and never really offers much atmosphere on its own. I was actually genuinely surprised to see how some of these responses were. Honestly, I didn't think my opinions was that unpopular. And I'm pretty surprised to know how much music affects some people.
Amanda
That is a very unpopular.
Olivia Suay
Yeah.
Amanda
To me that means that that person I feel like, hasn't connected to like a deep part of themselves because music is. It's like composers like music in film, background noise. Like.
Shane
You know what makes me wonder though is remember we talked about this Hank Green, about how some people think in images. Some people think and don't think in images.
Amanda
That's true.
Shane
I just wonder if like some people, the way they. Their imagination works, just music just doesn't do.
Amanda
Yeah, maybe it's just not music.
Shane
I don't know.
Amanda
That's a. That's a tough one for me to get on board with, but okay.
Shane
This last one's insane. This last one's the craziest one.
Olivia Suay
Oh my God.
Shane
Dish soap tastes good and not fully rinsing your dishes makes the dish better. The taste of dish soap is good. I love it. I wouldn't like drink it, but I rarely rinse my dishes fully. I always let them dry while still covered in a lot of bubbles. When I make food later, it mixes with the soap and makes a small bit of suds that tastes like whatever food I'm eating. I also enjoy the suds in soup and drinks. It's never to the point where I have to have a head of foam like beer or whatever. Just some bubbles and visible suds. I have a few cups slash plates, forks I don't use often because I keep them fully rinsed for guests who don't share my love of soap.
Amanda
This guy single.
Shane
There's an edit. Honestly, after reading all the health concerns, I'm still going to eat it. It's one of the few things in life that I still enjoy, so I might as well go out with a bang. At number two, some people asked. So to answer, I like Orange dawn soap edit number three. I'd like to add proof a video of me eating something with suds, but I feel like that borders too close on urging others to try it, which I don't necessarily want to do considering it's unhealthy. Also, there's literally a show about people eating things they shouldn't. What's so hard to believe? We don't. We exist outside of TLC Edit number four. I appreciate the awards, guys, but don't spend money on me just cuz I eat soap.
Amanda
Holy God. This is a whole. So one of the last things in the world that he enjoys.
Shane
Yeah, I guess I used to eat.
Olivia Suay
Soap when I was a kid.
Shane
When you were a kid.
Amanda
Okay, tell, tell.
Shane
What kind of soap would you eat?
Amanda
Like when you were in trouble?
Olivia Suay
No, you know those, like round the socks, the soft whatever. What is it called? They're like this. And then you pump with the pump.
Shane
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Soft soap.
Olivia Suay
Yeah. Like when we were washing our hands after recess to go to lunch, you'd go, I remember, like it was like, you know, this other kid also did it. We just like lick our hands like this.
Shane
Wow. So it's peer pressure.
Olivia Suay
Sort of. I did a lot of weird things in kindergarten.
Shane
You still do a lot of weird. I believe that you still keep hot sauce in one of your jean pockets and you refuse to take it out. So I don't know, you're still kind of there.
Olivia Suay
But yes, I'm worried because there's a lot of harmful chemicals in soap.
Amanda
Yeah. We need these soaps to clean the ducks who had the oil spill.
Shane
Yeah, we need to save it for that.
Amanda
I don't think I ever really ate soap.
Olivia Suay
But you must. When you're. When you're shampooing your hair, you don't go like, no, me neither.
Amanda
I thought you didn't shampoo.
Shane
Yeah, me neither.
Olivia Suay
I wash my hair.
Amanda
Oh, yeah, you wash your hair every day, but you don't use soap on your body.
Olivia Suay
I do. Okay.
Amanda
I do, but wow, sometimes I hit a nerve.
Olivia Suay
I mean, not everyone washes their legs.
Amanda
I must.
Olivia Suay
Oh, you do.
Amanda
It's a whole journey.
Olivia Suay
You're different.
Shane
Oh, God.
Olivia Suay
Do you wash. You wash your. You don't.
Shane
I wash my legs every day. Yeah.
Amanda
And I wash the bottom of my feet.
Shane
Yeah. I put soap and I.
Olivia Suay
You put soap?
Amanda
I wash the bottom of my feet.
Shane
I don't. I'm sometimes bad about washing the bottom of my feet, but I wash the top of my feet when I do.
Amanda
Muay Thai, where you have. We're just without shoes or socks, on pads.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, see, that's sweaty.
Shane
That makes sense.
Olivia Suay
But I wash my feet every. If I'm. I'm a very clean person. Okay, I believe you.
Shane
You are a very. You're like.
Amanda
You're very clean.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, very clean. I just don't know about. Like, if you're shaving your legs, you're sort of exfoliating your legs.
Shane
I don't shave my legs, so I don't know. I can't.
Olivia Suay
And so you. So if I were you, I'd definitely have to get in there and scrub my legs.
Shane
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Olivia Suay
But for me, I'm shaving them and I dry brush.
Shane
But see, I also wear jeans, which are thick brush, and it protects me from the outside world.
Amanda
No, your jeans aren't protecting you, honey.
Olivia Suay
Your jeans are protecting you.
Amanda
Oh.
Shane
Okay, next subreddit. There's a subreddit called Rroast me. And people post photos of themselves with. And you have to have a conference. You have to have a piece of paper in front of you that says like, r Roast me. That you have to write so that people know it's really you. And you post a selfie of yourself and you post it on this subreddit and then people roast you.
Amanda
People love pain.
Olivia Suay
I hate that.
Shane
It's always insane. It's. It's mind blowing.
Olivia Suay
It's so sad.
Amanda
It feels like torture porn.
Shane
I hate that people are into it.
Olivia Suay
I was thinking about all the things people could say about me.
Amanda
Nothing. Because you're beautiful.
Olivia Suay
Thank you.
Shane
I'm not gonna. I. I found some posts. I'm not gonna show them here because I. I don't want to like, spread it. But look, I look at it sometimes and the roasts are insane.
Olivia Suay
Like, what? I have to look at them.
Shane
All right.
Olivia Suay
I have to.
Shane
I'll show you one and I'll just show you the top roast.
Amanda
Cause it's on Reddit. So she's beautiful.
Shane
That's the thing also. But these, these are redditors who find anything. So this, this, this woman, this 20 year old woman posted a photo of herself. She looks like Christina Rico saying, roast me. And the top comment says, I was always told I was going to end up like this if I held in a sneeze. Oh, my God.
Amanda
What is wrong with these people who just want to be roasted? I feel like they're in pain. Oh, my God.
Shane
I know, I know. There's a lot of. There is a lot.
Olivia Suay
Yeah. What else we got?
Amanda
Yeah, keep going. What else?
Shane
Find another one.
Amanda
We can't make sense of this. We just have to read the comments.
Shane
Here's another one that I have. So here's this guy, this guy posted on. On Reddit. He said, 26 year old finance, bro. Unro.
Amanda
26.
Shane
Unroastable. Try me. And someone said, did you Someone said, do you puff out your neck to intimidate predators? Now, this is rough. I. Look, I'm not condoning this. I'm not saying anything. I'm saying this is.
Amanda
We know this is your favorite Reddit.
Shane
No, it is not my favorite Reddit. I don't look at Roast Me that often. It ends up on the front page a lot, and I will check it out.
Amanda
These people actively put themselves out there to say roast.
Shane
What's tough about it is, you know, we do roasts a lot at Smosh, but because we know each other, we're able to roast, like, our personalities and, like, our lifestyles and, like, we know.
Amanda
What not to touch.
Shane
But I don't. I never love to do jokes about, like, physical appearance. No, the problem is, on Reddit, when you're posting a selfie of yourself, they don't know anything about you, so it's purely about how you look, which is so rough.
Amanda
Well, these people are putting out just a photo of them. They're not putting out what they do or anything. They. They're literally asking to be roasted.
Shane
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah, they. They actually are.
Amanda
It's.
Shane
I mean, it's fascinating.
Amanda
They probably.
Shane
I could never do it, get pleasure from it. It got floated around at one point years ago of like, oh, should we have one of us post on Reddit? And I actively, like, aggressively, was like, no, absolutely not. We should never post on that subreddit because it's just devastating. I feel devastated just watching other people go through it. I'm like, oh, my God. Of course there's a ton of comments, but I don't want to linger on that. There is another. I did want to bring up one Reddit, and this is a very toxic one. There is a subreddit called True Rate Me and True Rate Me, Rate Me. And there's a lot of subreddits where people post where it's like, am I this, like. Like, whatever? Like, rate my appearance, Rate me, You know, and it's really sad. So I'm like, don't ask the anonymous Internet.
Amanda
I think people have this need to, like, I don't know, feel pain.
Olivia Suay
I'm, like, getting anxiety.
Shane
Well, I also think people want affirmation or they want affirmation about their negative feelings, too. That's true. Rape Me, though, is toxic because, for one, it's very clearly a bunch of dudes, right? So it's a. It's a biased dude, but true. Rape Me. They're arguing that they are judging attractiveness based on objective, like, Factual things. And it's very clearly not. They're like, it's based on symmetry and all this science.
Amanda
It's just a picture. It's just a picture.
Shane
And people post a photo of themselves. And a lot of times the ones that always get high up and high upvoted are very attractive women post on there and you just have a bunch of dudes being like, you're a five and it's like they're getting out their ankle. I think they're getting a power trip from it.
Amanda
Oh, God.
Shane
And anytime dudes post like, and say like, oh, you're a 9 or a 10, they get their posts removed and the mods go, it's. You're no like rating too high.
Amanda
Like what to remove their post.
Shane
The mods.
Amanda
Who are the mods?
Shane
Moderators of the subreddit who are also just some dudes. Wait, no, it's. I. Look, if people want to come for me in the comments, I think it's extremely toxic, so.
Olivia Suay
Toxic.
Amanda
Question. The moderators of the subreddit. They're the moderators. All the subreddit.
Shane
No, no, Every subreddit gets moderators. And it's people who just volunteer. There's no. You don't get paid. It's just a volunteer thing that you're going to moderate that subreddit. So they are people who are also part of that community.
Amanda
Imagine being with a moderator. Oh my God, I had a tough.
Shane
Day that I had to take down Reddit. Reddit mods have a very specific stereotype to really, it's pretty much this.
Amanda
The fedora.
Shane
Yeah. But anyways, moving on from, from some of those, let's get into some weird ones. This is where people are just being weird. For instance, there's a. There's a subreddit called rgggg. Just three, four letter GS. And on that subreddit, everyone can only post the letter G. So it's just a bunch of posts with just GS. You can do uppercase or lowercase. Just GS. And it's surprisingly active. People are posting on there.
Amanda
Why go outside.
Shane
GS go outside. But they're having fun posting GS.
Amanda
Feel the sun on your back.
Shane
They're posting GS.
Amanda
You know, swim in. Swim in a body of water.
Shane
They're posting G's. Okay, there. Here's another subreddit. Once again, I am not condoning this. I'm just saying this is a subreddit that exists. Yes, there is a subreddit called Alzheimer's Group.
Amanda
Okay. Jesus Christ.
Shane
And on this subreddit.
Amanda
Jesus.
Shane
They only post the same Garfield comic over and over and over again. What? They post one Garfield comic? It's just. It's just a random Garfield comic. And so people post it and they go, I found this awesome Garfield comic. And then they. People just do that over and over and over again.
Amanda
This is so sad. Oh, Shane is struggling right now.
Shane
Just saying it's a subreddit that exists. There's a lot like it.
Amanda
This is so sad.
Shane
I know.
Olivia Suay
Sad.
Shane
I know.
Amanda
So do you think people with Alzheimer's are going on this subreddit?
Shane
No, no, no, no, no. It's just. It's unfortunately just a joke. Oh no. I think it may have started as a legitimate place to discuss Alzheimer's. And then here's the thing. Must have morphed into this.
Amanda
I think. I think joking about really serious things is okay because I think people need to figure out how to frickin handle it.
Shane
They're not.
Amanda
That is crazy.
Shane
The thing is, this is just one inside joke that just lingers for years. And I think that is funny. And there's a lot of subreddits like it. Right. Similar to our Amish. Right. That everyone agreed, like we're never going to post on our.
Amanda
That's funny, right?
Shane
Also funny. So there's a lot of stuff like that. There's just a lot of weird subreddits. There's another one. Dude, it's just insane. Here's another. Here's one. Before we started this podcast, Olivia, we were talking about ice.
Olivia Suay
Yes.
Shane
There's a subreddit called Hydro Homies. And on this subreddit, it's just a community of dudes, people in general, who love water and they just post photos of like they're. They're just dudes. Water bottles. I don't think it's just dudes.
Amanda
I love water.
Shane
I think it's anyone who likes water and they're just obsessed with water and so they're just like hydro homies. And they've loved to post like their containers of water. Like if you have a big jug of water, take a photo of it posted on Hydro Homies. It'll probably do really well. I love that people just love water. But there was a post I found and it was, which ice is best? Homies? And it's, you know, you got regular cubes, the spears, the rectangular spears, the pebbles, or large.
Amanda
I know you love this.
Shane
I'm a large cube, man.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, I'm a large.
Amanda
Wait, can I see again?
Olivia Suay
No, I like that.
Amanda
So here's you like small.
Shane
Like you'd like regular sized ice cubes.
Olivia Suay
What are we drinking? Water.
Shane
That's thing for water.
Amanda
Oh, for water. I was gonna say I love water for water.
Shane
I think it's. It's small cubes.
Amanda
Beer.
Olivia Suay
Small cubes.
Amanda
Spears, spear or cubes.
Olivia Suay
For water.
Shane
Yeah, I love water, dude.
Olivia Suay
I drink water.
Shane
I drink.
Amanda
So you don't drink water?
Shane
Drink water.
Olivia Suay
I drink.
Shane
Like you are not a hydro homie.
Olivia Suay
No, I drink water. I drink lemon water in the, in the morning and that's sort of. And that's it.
Shane
You don't drink water for the rest of the day.
Amanda
I drink like 10 to 12 cups of water a day.
Shane
I am chugging water.
Amanda
Me too. I love water. It's my favorite thing.
Olivia Suay
I don't drink a lot of water. Honey, I'm trying, I'm trying to do better.
Amanda
You need.
Olivia Suay
I know, I know. I need.
Amanda
If you get. If you get something that.
Olivia Suay
I'm gonna lose that.
Amanda
Okay, let's figure out a way to get you some water.
Olivia Suay
I'm kind of thirsty right now. I haven't had any water.
Amanda
Are you flying some water?
Olivia Suay
No, I don't need it right now. I'll probably wait like three hours.
Amanda
Three hours.
Olivia Suay
Probably wait until tonight.
Shane
Okay.
Amanda
My thirst takes over, which is why I have the aisle seat at airplanes because I pee a lot.
Olivia Suay
See, that's also. I don't really want to pee a lot.
Amanda
So you want to be a camel.
Shane
Wow. All right. There was a bunch of other Reddit's I wanted to get to, but running out of time here. I didn't even get to NoFap.
Amanda
Okay, get to it right now.
Shane
I. I'm wondering if I should save it for another episode. No. Okay, let's talk about it. Let's talk about nofap. Cuz it's.
Amanda
We definitely have to do another subreddit episode.
Shane
We?
Amanda
Absolutely.
Shane
There's a million more that I meant to get to and I didn't. Okay. So I feel it's important to talk about nofap because the Chosen, the character I play, the Chosen, it's a big part of his lore. Right. It was a joke I made the first time I appeared as the Chosen where I said I'm a member of nofap, and it just kind of kept going. But nofap is a very real subreddit and it has over a million members and it's been big for a long time. And it's not like a joke. These are people who truly, truly believe like, this is a life changing thing for them and I'm not gonna sit here and judge it. I like, this is what people are doing. Whatever. Now it's a lot of guy. It's. It's all guys. A lot of really young men who believe that no longer masturbating will change their life and make them like borderline, like it'll like give them powers or borderline, like not, not. It's not getting to a fantasy realm, but here. But just like, I will be smarter. I'll be, I'll be, have more energy. I'll be more confident. People will like me more. I will. A lot of them, almost all of them are like single guys who are having trouble in the dating scene and they believe that by no longer masturbating that will be their solution to eventually finding a girlfriend.
Amanda
Wait a second, I thought you had to masturbate. What A doctor.
Shane
Apparently, apparently you don't have to.
Amanda
What? I have heard men had to masturbate.
Shane
I. I've heard studies that apparently it is good for your prostate.
Olivia Suay
Yeah, right.
Shane
Yeah, but look, so they believes if.
Amanda
They don't masturbate they're gonna gather all the nutrients and power inside of them and then when they find their lady, they're going to just.
Shane
That is what's funny is that I guess they believe sex is not gonna do the same thing.
Olivia Suay
I feel like they're gonna be all like, weird.
Amanda
They're gonna be like, sick. They're gonna find their lady and go, yeah.
Olivia Suay
And like.
Shane
But look here. I found a post here. 3 years of NOFAP. From a pathetic loser to a successful young man. Shut up, 27 year old male. Here. I discovered NoFap three years ago while browsing sexy pics on Reddit. Ironically, I know. And because of Curiosity, I opened NoFap, read a few stories and told myself, what have I got to lose? My life is already a shit show. And I started on that day. I was a lazy, pathetic loser with no job, no master degree, no girlfriend ever. Kiss less virgin. I was. I was masturbating three to four times a day and had lots of mental issues like anxiety, panic attacks and depression. After just one week of NoFAP, I felt a difference. I started walking outside and daily, daily taking care seemed easier. After about six months, found a well paid job, which I never believed I will ever get, but happened. This gave me a lot of confidence, energy, and I felt for the first time in my life, appreciated. After a few more months, I decided to start a master's degree Because I had so much energy and confidence that I could do it. And it wasn't easy, but I had to push. I had to push my limits. And it goes on.
Amanda
Like, sense. He just. If the amount of time it took for him to masturbate, he just stopped doing that and spent time ongoing living his life.
Shane
He gets on to, like, after about 500 days, decided it's time to take my driving license and get a car. And I succeeded. I wasn't anymore that afraid. I wasn't afraid of anything. And I didn't. I didn't fear everything like I used to. I gave up taking anxiety pills because I felt strong enough to fight on my own. Finished my master's this summer with maximum grades. And all because of NoFAP and motivation, which it gave to me.
Amanda
Wow. Good for him.
Shane
Now I think it's great. I have a theory on it, which is just that, like, this is. That was very extreme. Right. He's saying, like, he's doing it three to four times a day. He probably. It's just like, he probably, by getting some sense of control over his life.
Amanda
Yes.
Shane
Started to gain confidence and change. Yes.
Amanda
It's like when you stop drinking or go sober.
Olivia Suay
Exactly.
Shane
Yeah. It gives you, like, oh, I am focused. I am.
Olivia Suay
Yes.
Shane
But look, so that's why I'm not sitting here, like, shaming it.
Amanda
What does FAP stand for?
Shane
Yeah, masturbating. I don't know, like, what? That's just what they call it. I think it's so. I think it's a meme term. So, like, in a comic, if someone's. If someone's jacking off the sound things that they would write is like, fap. Fap. Fap. Fat.
Amanda
I love setting Shane up to explain something.
Shane
Yeah, it really sucks. Whoa.
Amanda
I love going, so what does FAP mean? Shane?
Shane
But it's. It's a really, like. It's a intense community. Like, they are. They firmly believe it.
Amanda
Hey, if they're freaking going out there and living their life to the fullest, I am in full support.
Shane
No, I really can't.
Amanda
But I don't think that mass stopping masturbating is good for you.
Olivia Suay
I'm worried that a million people are reading this and are like, if I stop doing this, I will get.
Shane
No, you can't.
Olivia Suay
Like, I'll get my master's degree. I'm like, no, that's not it.
Amanda
Well, yeah, get your master's degree, but also. Okay, so if a million people stopped masturbating, what would happen to the world?
Olivia Suay
No, I don't know. There just be, like, these people walking around.
Amanda
Like, people walking around.
Olivia Suay
I don't know. But then I also don't want to offend anyone because I know there are a lot of people in there. Like, if you're doing that, good for you.
Shane
Look, it's people's body. People are allowed to do or not do whatever they want with. I. Look, I'm not saying I think it's bad or good or anything. I think it's funny. That's ultimately what it comes down to is that I'm just like, I love that there's a community of a million dudes who are like, guys, we got to stop jacking off. We're going to. We're going to get stronger if we stop jacking off. That's, to me, is funny. And there are other. There's a million subreddits, right? Because there's another. There's other subreddits that are more, like, about stopping porn, like, about no longer looking at that. But then this takes it to the extreme of, like, don't ever. Don't ever jack off. And I'm like, I think it's funny. And that's why I said it as the Chosen. So I'm like, it's such a. Like, to me, it's. It's such a chosen thing of, like, no, I must focus.
Amanda
Yeah.
Shane
I will get stronger if I stop.
Amanda
Wow. Now I know that joke. You said it so much as the Chosen, I've been like, I don't know what that is. And now I know. Yeah, it's about masturbation.
Shane
Right. Lastly, the last subreddit I'll talk about is our Smosh. Oh, there. There is a subreddit. We have a subreddit.
Amanda
I think I knew this.
Shane
Got 50,000. 50,000 subscribers on it.
Amanda
God.
Shane
And look, they. They post a lot of stuff on there. There was a lot of appreciation posts when I was looking through for you, Amanda. People. People really like you.
Amanda
Whoa.
Shane
They love us playing Five Nights at Freddy's. Oh, they. There's, like, posts being like, guys, we need to go and like, all the. The five Nights at Freddy's videos to make sure we get more sweet. I know.
Amanda
That makes me so happy.
Shane
I found comparing us to. To. They were. They were. They were assigning dog breeds to all of us. They're like, what? Dog breeds are people.
Amanda
I need to hear this.
Shane
So Spencer Shih Tzu right there. Olivia Saluki. Cute.
Olivia Suay
That is kind of like me. My dog kind of looks like that.
Amanda
That is so you look at your hair. It's so cute.
Shane
Amanda. Belgian Turv. Terverin.
Amanda
Okay. Lassie.
Shane
Ian. Hecox. A Jag terrier. Very. That's fitting.
Amanda
Yeah, very fitting.
Shane
Trevor. Great Dane. I kind of see it. No, I think he's. I think I see more.
Amanda
I think he's a stand up poodle.
Shane
Interesting.
Amanda
Trevor's a stand up poodle, in my opinion.
Shane
Noah, A whippet.
Olivia Suay
Yeah. Yes.
Shane
Tommy. A Borzoi.
Olivia Suay
Yep.
Amanda
Yes. Oh, my God.
Olivia Suay
These are very, very active.
Amanda
These are really good.
Shane
Chance, a Pharaoh Hound. Wow.
Amanda
100.
Shane
Yep. There it is. Arasha. An Afghan hound. That, that, that looks. That's. That's very fitting.
Amanda
Credible. Yeah.
Shane
Angela's. A bunch here. A bunch of little dogs. Yeah, you know, I see it. Yeah, a little bit.
Amanda
Yeah. No, I mean, she also has a Chihuahua, so I get it.
Shane
And then me, golden retriever.
Olivia Suay
Yeah.
Amanda
Oh, okay. How do you feel about that?
Shane
I feel good about that.
Amanda
Okay, good.
Shane
I don't mind it. There was another one where I think they, they. There was another post where they made me a bull terrier, which I was like. Like the target dog. I didn't see that.
Amanda
Absolutely.
Olivia Suay
You're like one of those little white furry dogs with the little gray, pink, little furry eyes. A little wet little mouth.
Amanda
Yeah, little wet little mouth. That's because you did that.
Shane
I did that character. But our subreddit is very. I like our subreddit. I look at it everywhere.
Amanda
It could be the target dog, but I feel like the target dog is like, hello, that's not you.
Shane
Yeah, yeah, No, I know the personality. I don't think you're a little golden retro. Cause the target dog is also the dog from Toy Story that, like chases him down.
Amanda
That's a nightmare.
Olivia Suay
Oh, yeah.
Amanda
Wow. I have so many subreddits to check out. I need to see the mirror one.
Shane
Oh, yeah. Mirrors for Sale is great.
Amanda
That one's my favorite, I think.
Shane
But yeah, our subreddit's cool. You know, I'd say it's pretty much pretty positive. It's very nice.
Olivia Suay
Great.
Shane
Love. Nice people just have conversations.
Amanda
Yeah. It takes so much more effort to be mean. So much more energy.
Olivia Suay
You feel better when you're nice.
Amanda
You do.
Shane
Yeah.
Amanda
You really do.
Shane
And Reddit's a place that's got all of it. Like, it surely just got all of it.
Amanda
You with that fedora.
Olivia Suay
Thanks for sharing all these Reddit things there.
Shane
I shared it with you so you don't have to look at it yourself.
Amanda
What we're going to do. I look at it.
Olivia Suay
I have to look at it.
Shane
Good luck.
Amanda
Wait, we're going to find some weird ones and come back and show you.
