Transcript

[Shane]

Hello. Welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane. We got a very special episode for you today. I am joined by Spencer and Selena.

[Spencer]

Hi.

[Shane]

A bit of a improvised episode today.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

We realized everyone's out. Everyone's out of the office for different reasons. We were gonna do an episode with Damien. That's not. That didn't work out for scheduling reasons, so we'll save that for another time. Yeah, but we figured, hey, you guys just hop in. We like you guys.

[Spencer]

We're the only ones left in the office. That's what.

[Shane]

We don't know who's filming this.

[Selena]

Yeah, we're both Filipino.

[Shane]

It's great to have Selena here and no one else.

[Spencer]

No, honestly, though, I appreciate.

[Selena]

I'm just not. I'm gone in the next chat.

[Spencer]

No, but I appreciated that you knew that. Columnsti. I don't know. No, nevermind. That might be a spoiler. Oh, for the O Games.

[Selena]

For the O Games.

[Spencer]

No, I did see no calamuncy juice for when Shane guesses fridges.

[Selena]

Oh, yes. Yes.

[Spencer]

Yeah. He knew that that was Filipino wine. So you could be Filipino for today.

[Selena]

Filipino for the day. No, I love.

[Shane]

Go on.

[Selena]

I was gonna say just like learning. I mean, the funny thing as a kid was like, my. My uncle married a Chinese woman. And, you know, as a kid, I was like, well, that means I'm Chinese now.

[Spencer]

Oh.

[Selena]

And so I was fully just like, you know, that means I am Chinese. And I would tell people my mom had to pull me aside and be like, spencer, bad news. You're not Chinese. And, yeah, that's my. That's my origin story.

[Shane]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Selena]

That explains. I think it explains a lot. Yeah.

[Shane]

How many months or years did you go around saying that?

[Selena]

I don't think it was that. I think they kind of nipped it in the bud.

[Spencer]

That's good.

[Selena]

Pretty quickly.

[Shane]

That's good. How old were you? 15.

[Selena]

15? Yeah. No, I was probably. I was probably under 10. You know, I just thought it was. I thought it was like kind of that. It's like, well, you know, if I have a Chinese extended family, then like, surely I'm Chinese.

[Shane]

Yeah, I think I understand that. Cause I have a. There's a side of my family that is very Italian, extremely Italian side of my family. But I am not Italian at all. But as a little kid, I was like, well, there's some. There's got to be some Italian. Like, I gotta be part Italian. Cause I have a bunch of Italian relatives. It's like, you don't understand the whole.

[Selena]

Sometimes you feel the Italian spirit, like, take over you.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Well, have you guys done 23andMe or anything like that?

[Selena]

Actually haven't.

[Spencer]

Oh, okay.

[Selena]

What if you find out that Spencer actually 75% Chinese?

[Shane]

Um, so actually, I have never done it, but my parents both have. And I know that my percentage can be different because it's like. Like, siblings can have different percentages.

[Selena]

Really?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

I'm pretty sure I haven't looked into a bunch.

[Shane]

Like, if you are. Like, there's a joke. I saw someone on TikTok was saying, like, oh, they're Italian and German, and, like, the sister got all the, like, Italian genes, and the brother got all the German jeans. Like, so it's just like, she's technically more Italian than him. That's just. I think. Now, I'm not an expert, but that's from my understanding. Now, my parents did 23andMe, and they are, like, 99.9%, whatever Western European, like, as white as it gets. But my mom did point out, she's like, there is a, like, very small percentage of. I think it might be, like, East Asian. Like, my mom was like, there is a very. She's like, I don't know where this, like, 0.1% or 1. What. It's like, some very small.

[Selena]

So I did see a tweet recently. It was like, I don't think 23andMe is real. What they do is, you know, you pay the money and they send it off to a guy and he Googles you, and then he. And then he guesses, and then he guesses, and then occasionally he'll throw in a 1% of, like, some random contract just to give you something to talk about. Yeah, I wish.

[Spencer]

Well, So I did 23andMe, and it told me everything that I already knew. So it wasn't anything new.

[Selena]

It was like, are you 100% Filipino?

[Spencer]

I. It's close. Well, it's like, Filipino. There's, like, a little Spanish in there, a little Chinese in there. There's part, like, from the, like, the Indian continent when it was. I'm assuming when it was before, it had been part of Asia. But, like, that's like, you know.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

From, like.

[Selena]

So was India considered some continent at one point?

[Spencer]

Subcontinent. Yeah. Indian subcontinent.

[Selena]

Did not know that. I'm listening to a book right now that was. It's. It's a British book. And. And he talks and he talks about. He's like, oh, and then I met an Asian man. And then later, it's kind of revealed that the guy Is like Indian. And I'm like, oh, I guess that's like, you know, I think. And maybe in. At least in America, when that's not. Maybe not commonly thought of. It's not the first country you think of. I guess when you're like, oh, like, this person is like, from Asia.

[Shane]

Is it. Is it South Asian? Is that.

[Spencer]

Yeah, South Asian.

[Shane]

Yeah, that's the term.

[Selena]

Still Asian, but, you know, still counts.

[Spencer]

It still counts. You still count.

[Selena]

Yeah. Thank you. No, I would be curious about a 23andMe. I think it's. I mean, the problem is all the, you know, it's like, oh, it's like you're a little Scottish. You're a little British. It's like, okay, that's boring as hell.

[Shane]

Well, doesn't it also give you, like, your, like, oh, you might have this issue or something and you have bone.

[Selena]

Cancer and you're weak. Yeah. It's like, not only are you Scottish, you have no bones.

[Spencer]

I did the. I did that, the ancestry and health thing. And it tells you like, oh, you're more prone to this kind of disease. But also there's like, silly things like, oh, you think cilantro tastes like soap. Or like, you're.

[Selena]

Did they clock you?

[Shane]

Do you.

[Spencer]

No.

[Selena]

Here. I know, I love that shit.

[Spencer]

Well, they, like, they said that I like salty foods over sweet, but I.

[Selena]

Don'T think that I'd be like, shut the fuck up.

[Shane]

I think that's impossible to nail because I feel like genetics are too. I don't know them that well, but I feel like it's too complicated to see.

[Selena]

Actually do know genetics that well, but.

[Shane]

Also I feel like that takes away the nurture out of it entirely of just saying, like, yeah, you were born this way and this is what you like. It's like, man, an event can change how you view everything.

[Selena]

Yeah. I ate a really salty stick one time.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

And, you know, everything changed.

[Shane]

That was it. Something I want to talk about right off the bat here. This happened a few weeks ago. I was going to wait till we had Amanda here, but we got to talk about this.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Because this is huge news. I've already talked about it with Amanda. She's well aware. But start of this year, we had a bunch of predictions for. For what was going to happen this year. I predict we predicted a bunch of things. Most of them have not come true. You know, I predicted that I would shake Markiplier's hand. I still haven't. There's still time.

[Selena]

I really think we can lock that one in Like, I. I'm gonna.

[Shane]

There's been some moments where I thought it was gonna happen. And then I was like, oh, he's not here.

[Spencer]

If we can get Markiplier, I know.

[Selena]

Your ass would be fucking geeking out. Realistically. Me too.

[Spencer]

Really?

[Selena]

I don't think I properly met him.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Selena]

So, yeah, okay, let's make it happen.

[Shane]

Realistically, if we're being honest, I think an opportunity we could have is when Iron Lung is, like, coming.

[Selena]

That was what I was thinking.

[Shane]

And then we, like, hey, come on, promote the movie. So we'll see. But that might not be till next year or something.

[Selena]

Cause I'm also a big fan of that game developer who made Iron Lung so wonderful. I don't know if we could be like, hey, we're fans of that game developer. We're fans of you.

[Shane]

I don't know. Just gotta shake his hand. That's all. That's gotta.

[Selena]

I wanna shake your hand.

[Shane]

But anyways, so we have a bunch of predictions. One of them that I threw out there, very much as a joke, most of them were a joke. One of them was that Smosh would end up on Good Morning America. Now, I kept that very broad. I was like, smosh. Any one of the cast members, anyone ending up on Good Morning America would count. And I was like, this isn't gonna happen. How are we gonna end up on Good Morning America, guys? Ladies and gentlemen, Smoshmouth was on Good Morning America.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Specifically Smosh Mouth.

[Shane]

Smosh Mouth ended up on Good Morning America. And I'm going to tell you how it happened. It's all thanks to one of our viewers. His name is Daniel Sharkey. He posted a Reddit post a few weeks ago telling us how he got Smoshmouth on Good Morning America. And it was a very simple process. Daniel Sharkey lives in Florida. And he was out. Yeah, he's a Florida man.

[Selena]

Florida mentioned.

[Shane]

And this is a very Florida man story. He was doing yard work out front in his. In the front yard of his house, and he got struck by lightning. Got struck by lightning pretty good. There's footage really got him. It really got him. There's footage of him unconscious on the ground with people trying to help him. So he goes to the hospital, naturally, for several days, and then Good Morning America reaches out to him to do an interview from his hospital bed. Yeah.

[Spencer]

Cause he survived.

[Shane]

He survived. We should be clear here. One of our dead viewers, he willed.

[Selena]

His body to Smosh mouth, roll them out.

[Shane]

So they reach out to him. They're like, can we do an interview. And he's like, sure. And they tell him, no logos, no brands, no nothing in your shot. And he's like, okay, got it. But he has like a, you know, he's got a hospital gown on. He's got a heart monitor, like, patch right here. He writes smosh mouth right there on the heart monitor patch. And so when they're interviewing him, you can. You have to really kind of zoom in and pay attention. You can see Smoshmouth right there on his chest for several moments. So thanks to him, which I'm also like, you nearly died.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

You got struck by lightning. You're getting interviewed by Good Morning America and you thought to shout us out.

[Selena]

Your first real one. It's crazy that, like, you know, lightning strikes. I guess. I mean, does Good Morning America just interview whoever gets hit by lightning?

[Spencer]

No, I think they were just looking for a good story.

[Shane]

Yeah, I mean, he got. I mean, it's a great. How often. How often does it happen?

[Selena]

I don't know. I'm asking you, bro.

[Shane]

I'm curious about the numbers.

[Spencer]

Tell us. Struck by lightning.

[Shane]

Can anyone in the room google how many people in the US get struck by lightning every year?

[Selena]

2 to 300.

[Spencer]

Per what?

[Shane]

Per year?

[Spencer]

Holy.

[Shane]

I mean, you think about it. So. So no, it's a. That's a over. That's a. Over one in a million chance.

[Spencer]

Yeah. 200 to 300 people per year in America.

[Shane]

Yeah. So your. Your chances are extremely slim to get struck by lightning. And also in Los Angeles.

[Selena]

You're Los Angeles, almost.

[Shane]

No, there's no Florida.

[Selena]

I mean, it's just. It's so.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah. Well, when you're in Florida, you're going to die. Right? You know, I was in Florida for the first two years of my life, and I died.

[Selena]

I forget about that.

[Shane]

Daniel Sharkey died probably for a brief.

[Spencer]

For a second.

[Shane]

For a second. Or at least, you know, the elements. The elements are coming for you. You know, you got water, you got lightning, you got alligator.

[Selena]

So I wonder if more people in Florida are killed by alligators or sharks.

[Shane]

I don't know if alligators, they. Maybe, maybe I'm crazy for saying this. I don't think. Do alligators kill a lot of people? I thought crocodiles.

[Selena]

Yeah, crocodiles are the more dangerous. But alligators will attack. Like, I know people, like, if they're walking dogs or if they're like, older, like, they will encounter alligators. But it's super the. For like the amount of alligators to humans, like the. And humans are in water and the Accident rate is so small with sharks, but sharks. We had a string of shark attacks. I want to say like three bites in one day, kind of.

[Shane]

I heard about that. I heard about that.

[Selena]

Like losing an arm and a leg and stuff.

[Shane]

It's. It's freak attacks like that. But sharks are kind of. They. Yeah, sharks are never like. I don't know. I think tasters, sharks operate like robots where. To the point where I've heard, watching Shark Week, a guy was like, I think what a lot of shark attacks might be is just sharks truly just running into someone and their mouth is open.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And so they, they bite like you.

[Selena]

Just kind of five minutes at Freddy's.

[Shane]

Really bad luck to. To get attacked by a shark.

[Selena]

No, it really. And I mean, it was my biggest fear as a kid. Absolutely. My biggest fear was over everything else. Over everything else.

[Spencer]

Wow.

[Selena]

Everything else.

[Shane]

You know what? Actually, I recalled this recently. Do you know what? One of my, like, as far as natural the world goes fears was Twisters. See, I saw the movie Twister because this was in the 90s. There was a movie Twister, and I was scared to death of Twisters. And we lived in Arizona.

[Selena]

There was the world's driest twister.

[Shane]

No, there was no Twister happening in Phoenix, Arizona. But I was just certain. And I was like, I'm gonna die from a twister.

[Selena]

We were the other night at dinner, me and it was this again, a gen con. We were, we were talking about kind of like the theme park moments that scarred us. Like, you know, like. Or like things in theme parks that like, you know, my sister rode the Jaws ride and it scarred her for life.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

And for me, the thing I remember being really affected by was they had the Twister ride at Universal. It was like an experience.

[Spencer]

I remember that. That I remember.

[Selena]

But before you go into a room and they just showed you the first scene of Twister.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

And. And that first scene of Twister where her. Where her dad dies really affected me.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah. It's a messed up scene.

[Selena]

And I. I kind of couldn't believe it. I was like, you know, like in Disney movies, like, you know, it's like the implied death of the parent. But this was like, you know, her dad is like sucked away in front of her and that really, really scared me.

[Shane]

Yeah, no, it's. It's really crazy. Yeah. It's also crazy. I think I've talked about this on camera before about. I didn't know. And I'm pretty sure this is true, that tornadoes really only happen in the United States.

[Spencer]

It's like semi.

[Shane]

They can happen elsewhere, but they, like.

[Spencer]

The amount that it happens is a lot here.

[Selena]

You know, not to be like, too Joe Rogany, but it's like. I think I heard that too.

[Shane]

Yeah. Yeah, I think I heard about that once. So that's fact. Now they're terrifying.

[Spencer]

It's not the only place, but it's like the.

[Selena]

I think we have the most frequent.

[Spencer]

Exactly.

[Shane]

Like, it's. Tornado Alley has the perfect conditions. I'm Googling, I think, of their. Of their power and their magnitude.

[Spencer]

No, I. When Twisters came out in the 90s, I was still living in the Philippines.

[Selena]

I thought you meant, like, when the idea of a twister. When a tornado came from the camera.

[Shane]

Yeah, when the first twister of 1997 appeared.

[Spencer]

No, I've only ever seen it on, like, TV or, like, film or, like. Like wizard of Oz, like, had a. Had a tornado or whatever. And I was like, what? Like, I had no concept of what that even meant or, like, how that felt. So, like. Yeah, it's still. It's still a concept. I don't. I've never seen one.

[Selena]

So here's the. Here's the thing. Tornadoes occur most frequently in North America, particularly in central and southeastern regions. The United States and Canada have by far the most tornadoes of any countries in the world, but they also occur in South Africa, some of Europe, some of Australia, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Eastern India, Japan, and the Philippines. Wow. And where was I? South America. Like, Uruguay and Argentina.

[Shane]

Okay. So they happen all over the place. But I wonder how powerful they are in other places.

[Selena]

Like, well, how are they measured? Again, it's not categories. It's.

[Shane]

There is.

[Selena]

It's like. Yeah, I think F scale, I think, is right. So it's like an F1. Oh, I get F2, I think, is the scale. But I think it goes, like. I think it starts at, like, a higher number, and then, like, the closer gets, like, an. Like an F1 is, like, the big one.

[Shane]

They're terrifying. They're really scary. I saw one once.

[Selena]

Whoa.

[Shane]

I was in Colorado. I was at the Denver airport, and I was leaving the Denver airport in a shuttle, scared. Cause it's all at the airport, and I. And it. It starts to, like. I wasn't in the plane. I was in a car. Probably better to be in planes bigger. But it started to form, and I saw it form, and it was like a kind of a skinny one, but it was, like, crazy to see it skinny legend come down from the clouds. I was like, yeah, skinny Legend right there. No, but it was. It was wild looking. It was really big. But it, it then disappeared after like a few minutes.

[Spencer]

Okay, that's.

[Selena]

I would see. I would see water spouts, which are like tornadoes, like on the ocean growing up. But I never saw a proper one. I still do want it. Maybe by the time this comes out, I'll have seen Twisters. But I. I like. The more I think about it, the more I'm like, they're so cool, frankly.

[Spencer]

Like, they could be hunter.

[Selena]

No, absolutely not. No. They're scary as fuck.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah. No, I want to get away.

[Selena]

Like, I remember, like, hearing. Because I've never, like, I've never heard one either, but I know, like, what they would teach you in Florida is like, well, you know, it sounds like a train's coming, and I'm like, that's scary as fuck.

[Shane]

Yeah, they're terrible. But the big gigantic ones are nightmare fuel.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. But I was so scared of them as a kid, and then I don't know when I got over it. I think when I realized when someone was like, they're not gonna happen here. They literally don't happen here, man. They literally can't. You're gonna die from anything else. Yeah, sharks.

[Spencer]

Not Daniel Sharkey.

[Shane]

Not Daniel Sharkey.

[Selena]

He didn't survive.

[Spencer]

No, he survives anything.

[Shane]

He survived being struck by lightning and he shouted us out on Good Morning America. So thank you. You made that prediction come true. So cool. And frankly, kind of funny. He's definitely watching this right now is what's crazy.

[Selena]

We're laughing at you. Laughing at you. I've often thought of, like, what would be, like, the coolest injuries to sustain Getting struck by lightning. Definitely one. And then getting shot and then getting attacked by a bear.

[Shane]

What?

[Spencer]

Why?

[Shane]

What?

[Selena]

I'm thinking those are the coolest to have, like, endured.

[Shane]

Oh, and you're like, no, I don't.

[Selena]

Want to get fucking shot. It probably hurts so much.

[Shane]

No, all those sound horrible, but I.

[Selena]

Just mean, like, imagine having been shot.

[Shane]

Well, well, with lightning strikes, what happens to some people is they have those crystallized veins.

[Selena]

Is that what that is? Like the scarring?

[Shane]

Yeah. Have you seen that? Where their veins.

[Spencer]

It's like a permanent tattoo.

[Shane]

I'm curious. I'm curious if that happened to him, but it can be crazy looking. Another thing going on right now that we mainly wanted to talk about just because it's a little bit topical, because we recorded this a week ago.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

As of it airing is, we can't. We learn. We can't say the Name.

[Selena]

And I truly don't believe it. But. But pop off.

[Shane]

We were told we cannot say the name. That we will be demonetized. That will be copyright struck for saying the name. The O Games.

[Selena]

Yeah, the Five Ringed.

[Shane]

Yeah, the Five Ringed Games. The Games that happen every four years.

[Selena]

Do we not do, like a Bepperty thing? We call it, like, the Bulympics.

[Spencer]

I don't know. I don't know how close we can get to saying it, but Joe Limpics, The Joe Olympics.

[Shane]

Anyways, they've been going on. I've been watching them. Yeah, I'm a big fan.

[Spencer]

That's all I've been doing.

[Selena]

See, I'm so uneducated. Where do you even watch them?

[Shane]

Oh, you just watch them anywhere. I have the YouTube TV app.

[Spencer]

Oh. So I watch because it's an. It's typically an NBC thing.

[Selena]

Okay.

[Shane]

You can also watch it online. There's often just websites where you can just watch it for free.

[Selena]

Oh, games dot com.

[Shane]

YouTube, ogames dot com. Yeah, but. And then you could just. You just get served clips. A lot. A lot, a lot of times on Tik Tok, I just get served. Which is fine. There's been a lot of legends this year. You know, you have pommel horse guy. You have all the people in the shooting company. Harris Pome.

[Selena]

Is that anything?

[Shane]

Damn.

[Spencer]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

Everyone in the shooting competition.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Absolute legend.

[Selena]

Penis guy.

[Shane]

Penis guy. No, that's the funniest thing ever.

[Spencer]

Pole vault guy.

[Shane]

For those who don't know. I feel like you all probably do. There was a guy who was doing pole vault and he pretty much cleared the bar except for his massive dong. Got like, kind of hit it.

[Selena]

Would you not think to.

[Spencer]

Not kind of grabbed on fully.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Would you not think to like, tape or like, I don't know, like, if it's. If my.

[Spencer]

That's what I'm saying is if my.

[Selena]

Penis is that big, like, it's like. It's gonna be like a hindrance and I'm gonna, like, tape it down.

[Spencer]

Yeah, you gotta tuck it in.

[Shane]

Like, I'm gonna say, like, the wind resistance alone.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Well, it's like. I mean, they're clearly. I mean, I wonder if they are wearing underwear.

[Shane]

It didn't look like it.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

We should ask.

[Shane]

I haven't heard the audio of the commentators. Apparently it's very funny. I haven't heard how they're trying to like.

[Selena]

To not acknowledge.

[Shane]

They'd be like, oh, he hit the bar with. Yes, it appears with his. With his body.

[Selena]

His untucked johnson.

[Shane]

His untucked Johnson.

[Selena]

That's one of my favorite clips. It's two announcers and they're talking and they're on the baseball. Sorry, I'm doing another thing where I tell a really bad story, but it's at a baseball game and there are two announcers in the thing and the camera's going around. It's like the kiss cam or something like that. And it's this couple kisses and then the guy grabs the girl's boob. Oh, what? And then they cut away and they just have nothing to say and they just like, they're like, like, it's like, clearly it's like a joke grab. Like, I don't know if, like, you've ever, like, you know, this is going to sound really bad. I don't feel like you've been with your partner for a long time and yeah, sometimes you just like, you kind of jokingly like, grab like, their boo.

[Spencer]

Just like a little, like.

[Selena]

Yeah, like, it's like, it's like a very, like, juvenile, like, honking, like, you know, like. And like. And that's the, that's the reaction of the, like, you know, they clearly can't, like, acknowledge it. They can't be like, blah, blah, blah, like, and so, like, every time they try and talk again, there's, like, cracking up. And that's like, people trying not to laugh is.

[Shane]

Oh, it's always the best.

[Selena]

We should make a show about that.

[Shane]

I think.

[Spencer]

So the kiss cam thing, I think it happened at the O games and I could be mistaken. It could be somewhere else. But I think someone's parents were like, you know, they, they like, switch to the camera that shows, like, their relatives and their parents, and someone's parents just full on, like, start French kissing. Because, like, you French and you see tongue and then the commentators are just like, oh, very passionate about their son's win.

[Selena]

Well did.

[Shane]

When in Paris.

[Selena]

Yeah. Oh, city I love at any sporting event. I'm glued to the Jumbotron. I love seeing people see themselves on. On the Jumbotron. It brings me joy in, like, a very secure way, like, going like the King's game. Like, so seeing like kids, like, when you see, like kids realize they're on the, you know, it's like that is a. It's a. Not formative maybe, but, you know, it certainly. It feels huge to them.

[Shane]

No, and the group dynamics and psychology that can happen where, like, have you seen the one where the kids, like, I think he's holding an ice cream cone and he, like, lifts it up, and everyone starts cheering, and he kind of, like, realizes, like, the power he has. He, like, lowers it, and he, like, raises it back up, and everyone, like, screams again.

[Selena]

That was literally me on the smosh mouth live. When I. Whenever I'd say boob people cheering, I was like, this is. This is. This is what real power feels like. Yeah, that was exhilarating.

[Shane]

There's an old video that is so good where I believe it's a football game in, like, Europe. And this guy's asleep. He's, like, far in the front and, like, the lower stands, and he's sitting there. Or maybe it's a baseball game, I forget, but he's sitting there.

[Selena]

A European baseball game?

[Shane]

No, it's. It's. It's either European football or it's, like, American baseball. I forget what kind, but it's a game where it's, like, those types of stands, you know, and kind of like a game where you can kind of casually watch at times. I think it was baseball, but this guy's asleep, and his head's. His head's forward, and I forget which. Which way, but he's sitting there, he's asleep, and he's kind of leaning, and everyone's like, oh. And finally his head falls back naturally, and everyone cheers so loud. He wakes up and he starts cheering, too, because he doesn't know what's going on.

[Selena]

There is a, you know, transparent. I'm not a big sports person, and, you know, I think that, like, there is a toxic element to that group, like, you know, that, like, you know, like, not to be, like. Like the rioting and stuff, like, after sports games.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

But there is something that will happen, like, inside sports games where it's like, everyone kind of gets on the same page for something positive like that, where it's like, we're all in on this joke. And it's like, that is a really powerful thing, I think.

[Shane]

No, it's very. It's very intoxicating, the, like, the. The camaraderie that you can feel sometimes. Because, like, at Bronco games and every sports team. Every sports. It's.

[Selena]

Unplug it.

[Shane]

I don't want to hear it, man. Every sports team has their, like, traditions and their, like, things. For the Broncos, it's. Whenever the opposing team throws a pass and it goes incomplete, the entire stadium knows after a second that everyone goes incomplete. Like, and they all yell it. And it's just, like, a thing that we do, which has got to be what's got to suck. If you're the quarterback of the other team and you just. Every time you miss a throw, you just hear the entire stadium yell that at you. But that's what we do.

[Selena]

Yeah. For the amount of money, I think I could take it.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure.

[Selena]

You pay me. You pay me an NFL player salary. I will do anything, man.

[Shane]

I can't disagree.

[Spencer]

Right. So we're not going to test it here.

[Shane]

No, no. But I've been keeping up with the O Games, and we've been doing pretty good. We've got.

[Selena]

Winning.

[Shane]

Well, America has the most medals, but we're losing. We're losing in gold. But to a. As of. As of right now, I think China is dominating in golds, but they've got really good athletes.

[Spencer]

Yeah, we're this. So a lot will have happened in a week. So we're recording this last week. So by the time that you see this, it could very well.

[Selena]

The Philippines have taken it all.

[Spencer]

Listen, the Philippines are doing really well. We have two gold medals, right?

[Selena]

Yeah. I was going to say, what was the sport? Was it.

[Spencer]

Was it his name? First of all, his name is Carlos Yulo. He's.

[Selena]

I've seen a lot of love for him.

[Spencer]

Yeah. He's a male gymnast. He's the first person, first man from the Philippines to have won gold.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Selena]

Oh. Games. And he's won two of any.

[Shane]

Any.

[Selena]

Wow.

[Spencer]

We only have three medals as a country, and they're all gold.

[Selena]

Wow.

[Shane]

That's crazy.

[Spencer]

The first medal was.

[Selena]

It's all they offer y'all silver. And you're like, we don't want it.

[Spencer]

No, we're not taking it.

[Shane]

We got to keep this thing going.

[Spencer]

We won our first gold last O Games in Tokyo for women's weightlifting.

[Selena]

Wow.

[Shane]

And then I think I remember that. Yeah, I remember that. I've seen that clip because you came.

[Selena]

In lifting weights and you're like, yeah.

[Spencer]

I was like, I'm gonna do it. No, but Carlos Yellow won in both floor and vault for men's gymnastics.

[Shane]

Cool.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Damn.

[Shane]

That's so.

[Selena]

So he has two. He's got two.

[Spencer]

Yeah, he has two. Two gold medals.

[Shane]

Right.

[Selena]

And is he done for the.

[Spencer]

I actually don't know. I haven't.

[Selena]

I did looked at the schedule. I saw the tweet from Simone Biles and she was like, hey, you guys gotta stop asking us what's next after interviews. I was like, that is the realest shit.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Cuz, like, it's like, no, this is it. Like, this is what we've been working for. Like this is like, literally.

[Shane]

I'm sorry, man. It's the.

[Selena]

Oh, Games.

[Shane]

What do you want me to say?

[Spencer]

I don't know. The O Games, guys.

[Selena]

Oh, sorry.

[Spencer]

Oh, Games.

[Selena]

But then. Then the other. The other tweets that are like, you know, me feeling 30, like, with my whole life, like, ahead of me or whatever. And the announcer will be like, and here comes, like, Johnny Smith, like, 22 years old. Like, you know, he's the oldest person in the game. His life is over.

[Shane]

Like, no, there's no. But I don't know how often you see people in their 30s in O games. Not often.

[Selena]

And O Games.

[Shane]

Yeah. Crap.

[Spencer]

If you guys were to compete.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

What sport would you compete in?

[Selena]

French.

[Shane]

Okay. You have kissing. What'd you say? Okay. Okay. For real. In. In. In summer and in winter, options and life and death. You have. You get paid a million dollars if you can just qualify. And you get, like, say you get to go back to being 10. 10 years old. Oh, you get to actually train up there a lot. Obviously, now I'm too old, but you get to go back and be like, okay, if I spend all my time training, which one do I think my body could get into?

[Selena]

Yeah, I mean, the. The shooting. I mean, the shootings. Having the moment right now. And that feels. Well, I was thinking. I was like, how hard can it be? And then, you know, you see the size of the target.

[Shane]

The size of the target.

[Selena]

It's like. It's like this big.

[Shane]

It's super tiny, and it's 25 meters away. It's. It's actually insane.

[Selena]

The Americans at home. How far is that?

[Spencer]

75Ft? Ish.

[Shane]

Which is insane.

[Spencer]

Maybe. I don't know.

[Selena]

I remember in. In middle of high school, me and my friend, our unit of measurement for money was like, video games. So be like a hundred bucks. Like, bro, you could buy two. Two videos by two, 360 games with that.

[Shane]

That's cool. Yeah, that's a good way to do it.

[Selena]

And I mean, we still kind of joke about it sometimes. Like, it's like, oh, how much was dinner? It's like, oh, it was about, like, three Xbox games.

[Shane]

Nice thought.

[Selena]

Y'all be fucking with that.

[Shane]

No, that's. That's really sick, man. Okay, genuinely, now, I don't. I don't talk about this. When I was. When I was a little kid, I loved gymnastics. I really love gymnastics.

[Spencer]

I could see you being gymnast.

[Shane]

I was really into it. I. I think. I don't know.

[Selena]

I mean, you would be a different person. Like, right now. I Mean, like. Well, I mean, like, I think right now you're more of like a weights guy, I would imagine.

[Shane]

Yeah. No, I loved you're lifting when I was young. Like, I had upper body strength naturally, so I loved like swinging on bars and stuff.

[Selena]

That was like. That was absolutely my favorite as a kid too. My sisters. My sisters got to do gymnastics classes and I was always jealous.

[Shane]

Yeah. I don't know what's weird. I think with gymnastics I'd be. I'd still be fine stature wise, but I'm on the taller end.

[Selena]

Whoa.

[Shane]

Because they're. They're like, they're very. They're very. The shorter you are, the more like a horse job, the more upper body strength that you can hold up your body weight. So it makes sense. But I think I'd be fine at 5, 7. But I think it would be technically, like, they don't get that tall.

[Spencer]

Would you do pommel horse? What would you do? There's like, pommel horse.

[Shane]

See, I not. I do suck at all these things. I can't do any of these things. But I'm thinking if I could go back to being a kid and I could train up for it, what do I think I would be capable of?

[Spencer]

There's like parallel bars.

[Shane]

I think that. I think the, like the rings. The rings. I feel like I could like, have fun doing those. But this is extreme, though. That's a. That's a tough event to get into those.

[Selena]

I think this is also the O Games.

[Shane]

I'm not gonna do any of them.

[Selena]

That'd be most of what I think I would have been interested in as a kid because, you know, watching like a lot of Jackie Chan and stuff like that, like, that was kind of felt the most like, in that, like, wheelhouse of like. Oh, you're. You're kind of jumping around. You're like. You're doing, you know, you're doing flips and shit.

[Shane]

So.

[Selena]

Yeah, that's. That's. That was my desire. So.

[Spencer]

Also gymnastics.

[Selena]

Probably also gymnastics. But I mean, you know, seeing how cool they look while shooting, like.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Selena]

The other thing we didn't talk about is that that woman who had all like the hello Kitty stickers and stuff.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

On her.

[Spencer]

I didn't see this.

[Selena]

She had like all like the San Rio characters and stuff like that. No, I think, like, on her rifle, I think she had a raw. But it was what I meant. I meant to send to Aaron Kushner because that's what we had them do for the gun we used in Sniper Chest was Like, hey, let's make it look like a little less like intense on camera.

[Shane]

We wanted to make it look silly.

[Selena]

And so Aaron was like, oh, like, yeah, let me, let me like kind of like put stickers on it and stuff like that. And that's, that's exactly what is on the right.

[Spencer]

That's smart.

[Shane]

Really great.

[Selena]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Shane]

I mean I think the one that gets the most jokes is shuffleboard or what's. What is it?

[Selena]

Curling.

[Shane]

Curling, Curling in the winter where they're just kind of scraping the floor and stuff. But I watch it and I'm like, while it's not athletically as crazy as some of the others, it looks so complicated. Yeah, I'm, I'm sure I would suck forever.

[Spencer]

But that's something that you can do in your old age though. Like you don't need to be like in tip top physical shape.

[Shane]

That's true.

[Selena]

Do you know what, like the oldest.

[Shane]

I wonder what the old game. I mean some of those, some of those shooters are middle aged.

[Spencer]

Yeah. Isn't he like use. What's his name? Yusuf, like 53 of guy. Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. So it makes sense.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

So I wonder if he's like the oldest Olympian. Like. Yeah, like I wonder who the old, like who would make the list of oldest Olympians?

[Spencer]

I think currently, right now, from what I've read and I don't know. But the guy in dressage, which is like the horse dancing.

[Shane]

Oh, the equestrian.

[Spencer]

Yeah, exactly.

[Selena]

I think I have an aunt who does dressage and things like that who's a billionaire. No, she lives in Colorado.

[Spencer]

Honestly.

[Shane]

Oh yeah.

[Spencer]

I think he's like 59.

[Shane]

Have you seen the debates about how the horses should get the medals?

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

That I think all the people are technically a coach.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

So the horses should get the medals.

[Spencer]

No, I fully agree with this.

[Selena]

What are they going to do with it, bro?

[Shane]

I don't know.

[Spencer]

But they're the ones who are doing work. Yeah. What would you do with a metal.

[Selena]

Eat it.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Selena]

Melt it down. I would.

[Shane]

That's what they do. And when they're posing, they're. They're all biting medals. They're taking the first bite.

[Selena]

No, I honestly don't know. That's. That's isn't always funny thing where it's like, you know, what do you do with like your like the actors and stuff? Like what do you do they would do with their oscars and stuff like that? It's always a funny thing that I go to my house.

[Shane]

I've, I've heard that with A lot of former athletes from the O Games that once they compete, whether they win or lose or something, it afterwards is really tough because they train their entire lives for this event, for, like, this singular thing. Now, a lot of them, there's a lot of competitions, but this is the peak. And as it's the O Games and also as an athlete. Yeah, for a lot of them, they're done by the time they're 30.

[Selena]

You gotta put them down.

[Shane]

It's also what's crazy. I see the same thing with the NFL where for certain positions like running back and stuff, like, by the time you're 27, it's like, yeah, you're. You're kind of done.

[Selena]

I mean, at least, like. I mean, well, I don't know if it's for across every position in the NFL, but, like, at least they're getting paid like a shitload.

[Shane]

I don't know if a lot of them are. I think for the big, big ones that we know about, for. For a lot of them, I don't think they make a lot of money.

[Spencer]

Depends on the country, too.

[Selena]

Yeah. Well, I'm talking American NFL.

[Shane]

But. Well, with NFL.

[Spencer]

Oh, NFL.

[Shane]

Sorry, with NFL. But even then, it depends on how big you are. Like, they're all making a lot of money, but they're not all millionaires. And also, you make a lot of money, and then once you're in, like, if you get injured or something, then you're just out and you're done. And it's like, okay, what do you do?

[Selena]

It was funny watching, like, challengers. Sorry. I'm in a mission to bring up challengers as often as I can.

[Shane]

But, yeah, dude, do it.

[Selena]

You know how they're like. They're. They're like. I think they're 30. And, you know, like, the.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Like, I mean, the famous line is a day says, but yeah, it's like, yeah, you're done.

[Shane]

That's your toast. Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's. It's frigging weird. It was so trippy to me watching football because I watched it when I was. I started watching it when I was around, like, 20, right. So I'm watching this and I'm like, okay, most of the players are older than me. And then it takes, like, four years.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Where I'm watching it, I'm like, oh, now all the players are my age or a little bit younger. And then after a couple of years, I was like, I'm now older than all the players in the NFL. It's so trippy. And then you have, like, Tom Brady.

[Selena]

Yeah. I was going to say.

[Shane]

Who was 43, which was such an insane thing.

[Selena]

Tim Tebow was kind of older when he played, right?

[Shane]

No, he was super young.

[Selena]

I thought I could connect on one thing in my life. Nope.

[Shane]

Nope. He retired young.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Do you guys know that the next O Games are going to be here?

[Shane]

I know. What's it going to be?

[Selena]

Kiana will not let me forget that I have not talked about Kiana this whole time.

[Spencer]

I know.

[Selena]

I don't want to dox her too much, but we were going to throw.

[Shane]

Her on this episode, too. But she's out of. She. She's out of town as well.

[Selena]

Look, we can cut this. She's like, I have been crying, like, three times a day watching the oh Games. Yeah. And I was like, you're crazy. And then I've been seeing a lot of people. It's like. No, that's like, kind of the common experience.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Cause it's like the one. It's like, finally we can all get together and watch the best of the best, like, basically perform, like, what they've been working towards.

[Selena]

And especially when you can approach in, like, a healthy way to be like, you know, I mean, nationalism. Such a slippery slope. But like, you know, being proud of your country.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Like, it is in a positive way where it's like, oh, like, you know, we. They represent our country in a positive way.

[Shane]

But you watch and you also, like, it's not just for your own country. It's like you're watching other countries, especially, like, when a small country wins, you.

[Selena]

Know, and then like. Like, lifting each other up, like, you know, I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it. But I mean, like, can I send me the one tweet or maybe I sent it to her, but it was. It was after the Beyonce thing, and it was like the, like, my hate of America leaving my body as soon as, like, Beyonce goes up there is like, let's go, athlete.

[Shane]

I saw a TikTok where a girl was crying, talking about. She's just like, I'm crying because no matter what, someone wins. It's just like, yeah, it's kind of true. Like, someone's going to achieve their dreams, get to see it happen. And it's like, there's no debate on it. It's not like. Like, with the Oscars and stuff. It's like, okay, it's all. It's all objective.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

It's just like, oh, this is an opinion or not. Not a subjective. Sorry. I Used the wrong one.

[Selena]

No, no, but I mean like there.

[Shane]

Are, it's just opinion based. Whereas with this it's like, no, you ran the fastest. Yeah, you just won. And there's. And you won.

[Selena]

I did see a little discourse on I don't know which run it was and you know, I, oh, the men's 100. But just like, you know how the difference between like gold and like not placing was like it was less than a.

[Shane]

It's less than a. It's like a millisecond.

[Selena]

But like the fact that that is, that's been another fascinating thing. I remember reading this article when I was younger. It's like, will we ever hit a. I don't know if it was a sub four or a sub three minute mile. And they were kind of going through the evolution of running, you know, and how it's such a measurable sport where it's like, you know, humans are like literally getting faster or like, you know, the top, the top runners are getting.

[Shane]

The training regimens are getting more fine tuned the diets, the like the amount of money that gets pumped into these athletes is.

[Selena]

And it's just like, at what point, you know, do we peak, like, can we never pass that? And that's, that's a fascinating topic.

[Shane]

The reality is, is that some athletes come along who are just like kind of, it's just a genetic bodies or. So people were describing Michael Phelps and It's, he produces 50% of the lactic acid that most people produce. So his muscles just actually don't get tired.

[Selena]

I did see people because the, the other thing about that was I was seeing people kind of, you know, and again want to disclose that, you know, I'm not well versed on most of this but you know, so a lot of this is like, oh, I saw this on Twitter. But you know, I remember that was kind of the discussion around Lance Armstrong was when people were like, well you know, his heart's bigger and, and you know, in his body produces less lactic acid. So it's like, you know, the genetic lottery. And then it was revealed that you know, he was, he was taking like steroids. You know, people were like, you know, is that kind of the case, the Michael Phelps? Like, I'm not saying he, he did that, but it's like, you know, some of them will kind of, you know, disguise these like genetic like outliers as like, oh, you know, they were, they were taking you know, supplements. You know, it's like what does qualify for supplements versus you know, you know, what's allowed? Like, Keanu was telling me about those shoes. The, the. That like every world record sprinting record was broken in and they kind of had to outlaw those because, like the way your foot would land in them, it would kind of like propel you forward almost. It was like a shoe that was like cheating.

[Shane]

It is kind of a weird thing because that's, that's the same that we saw with those shooters where they have the, like the glasses and stuff and it's like, should you be allowed to have special glasses that let you like. Yeah, I don't know. It's. It's. Where is the line? That's, that is a tough thing. It makes me think of that old Tosh joke where he's like, he's like.

[Selena]

No one's talking about Daniel Tosh in 30 years, bro.

[Shane]

Yeah, man. Giving my age. But that old stand up joke about how like, he's just like, baseball should. Steroids should be legal. I want to see it. Just, let me just see it like full blown, like the baseball hitting the moon.

[Selena]

Did you ever play that, that game? Series. It was an NFL blitz, but it was like the baseball kind of equivalent. And yeah, that was just like the vibe of it. Like it was like the players would like be on fire. It's shooting.

[Shane]

Yeah, it's, it's definitely a problem. I mean, it's, I've said it before, but it's crazy how much like steroids are kind of making a comeback right now and like, not. I'm not happy about it. I think it's bad, but I'm, I end up on weightlifting TikTok a lot and a lot of young dudes are really pumping a lot of steroids.

[Selena]

It's just, I mean, it's like, you know, again, like it's, it's a slippery slope, but it's kind of like a miracle drug. Like if for like sickness and stuff like that. And it's crazy that it works.

[Shane]

Well, that's a different kind.

[Selena]

Yeah, but I mean, it's like, it's all the same concept where it's just like, you know, it kind of like augments every. And it's such a scary.

[Shane]

Yeah, I think for someone with body dysmorphia, it's just such a dangerous thing.

[Selena]

Oh, no, it's.

[Shane]

Because it is, it is insane. It is bad for you.

[Selena]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

Like, it is, it is.

[Spencer]

Just to make it clear.

[Shane]

But like, I think a lot of people that doesn't get talked about a lot because the, it's, it just Isn't. But I. There was this one bodybuilder, like, breaking down, like, what it does to your body. And it's like, it's scary. Like, especially. Especially if you're having it just. Just doing it yourself in a locker room somewhere. It's like you can overdo it and get really messed up really fast. But. But as someone who has gone through body dysmorphia to varying degrees and likes working out, I then see people who do it, and I'm just like, oh, yeah, and you're just gonna be twice the size within months. It's actually insane. Whereas for me, any gains I've had has taken, like, 10 years. It takes forever, but that's. But you're healthier and you feel better in the long run.

[Selena]

It's like the discourse with the Marvel bodies and stuff like that. It's like a lot of them are, you know, they're turning their body around in, like, under a year.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah. That's insane.

[Selena]

And, you know, they're like, it's, you know, it's all natural. It's just like, you know, Marvel puts you on this diet. You know, people are like, well, that's, like, almost physically impossible without, like.

[Shane]

Yeah, I don't believe it's natural. And if it is, it's like, it's. The amount of money and resources that are getting thrown at them is not also not natural. Like, it's damaging no matter what. It's shocking to see when people show imagery from, like, even 15 years ago.

[Selena]

Yeah, it's like, oh, my God, like.

[Shane]

When I saw Hugh Jackman in the.

[Selena]

First picture of him.

[Shane]

Oh, my God, is that what he looked like? Because as a kid, I remember.

[Selena]

It's like, like. And I remember, like, not like.

[Shane]

But he's not.

[Selena]

What's. He's not like, he's.

[Shane]

He's.

[Selena]

Yeah, but I remember that's, like, you know, like, two of my favorite movies. Like. Like Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones movies and, like, army of Darkness. You know, watching behind the scenes stuff. Like Harrison Ford, he's, like, exercising constantly, like, for. In Indiana Jones, like, behind the scenes. And Bruce Campbell's like, yeah, I got, like, the best shape of my life for. For Army Darkness. And then you see them in the movies compared to, like, Marvel movies now. And it's like, unfortunately, like, to the modern eye, these are just, like, kind of normal bodies. Like, and it's like, yeah, it's like. And it's. I cannot. You cannot discount how much effort it takes to even look like.

[Shane]

And it's it sucks because it's also. We're getting to a point where it's ridiculous, even when it's not. Like with the superheroes, I'm like, okay, they want to try to make them look like they look in the comics, which is not normal at all. No, it's like Alex Ross or it's ridiculous. But they're even doing it. Like, what was so cool about Indiana Jones is like, yeah, he's a. He's a archeology professor from the 1930s. Yeah, that is. He. That's impressive that he would look like Harrison Ford. Like, that's already unrealistic. But it's like, okay, that is a normal body type of the 1930s. Whereas, like, I watched and I liked this movie, but I watched that Department of Gentlemanly Warfare.

[Selena]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

Henry Cavill and what's his name from the Reacher guy. But there are These World War II, you know, soldiers and spies, and they're all, like, just way too big. I'm like, you don't look like dudes in the 40s. And then they show the images of the real soldiers because it's all based on a true story. And they're. And they're. They're like, yeah, that's a real guy from the 40s. Why you cast a guy who's twice his weight? Yeah.

[Selena]

No, and that's like the other. That was kind of. And it's. It's kind of ruined other things for me because I will watch things. Like, you know, I've watched a little of the boys, and it's. You know, I've kind of gotten used to it. But you look at their bodies and the boys, and I'm sure they're exercising their asses off, but they're still not on that Marvel diet. Like, you look at Homelander, I think.

[Shane]

That'S the joke they've done with Homelander, because that actor won't work out. He's like, I'm not going to. And so they're like, well, Homelander, maybe he's skinny. Like, yeah. The reveal is that it's actually a padded suit.

[Selena]

It's just like. It's interesting, like, the. The budget in the. You know, whatever resources they give the Marvel actors to make them look like. I remember, like, the big one was like, Kumail or Chris Pratt. Honestly, that was like, come on.

[Shane]

Johnny, though, was a crazy change to.

[Selena]

But, like, the, you know, seeing their bodies change and then you see the boys, and it's like, you know, like, even, like, the deep. Like, he kind of just looks like like, you know, he's like, obviously, like, in better shape than 99% of people, but it's like, you look at him compared to, like, a Thor or something.

[Shane]

Like that, it shows you how unbelievably ridiculous the standards have gotten. It's made me sad because I feel like we're reverting back to the early 2000s lately.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

In fashion, but also, unfortunately, like, with, with, like, body standards.

[Selena]

It's funny, like, the, the, the intersection of, like, body positivity and, like, the most unrealistic bodies you've ever seen throughout history, you know, in the form of these, like, supplemented, you know, augmented. Yeah, sad.

[Spencer]

So the, the moral of the story is that it takes years.

[Shane]

Bodies, stories is that they're not real.

[Spencer]

They're not.

[Shane]

They're not real at all.

[Selena]

Except for the reacher guy. I think he's real. I believe him. Well, he also. He went to my high school. That's my. He's.

[Shane]

Well, with the case with all of them, there is, like, a natural. Like, they do have to. You do have to work hard. But I also think there's some added.

[Selena]

And I mean, what we love to talk about. We've talked about it so many times. We might even talk about it on the podcast. Actually, we already did the Arnold Schwarzenegger, the documentary Pumping Iron. Oh, yeah, sorry. I know he literally already talked about this on the podcast. But it's just like, you know, you look at him and you look at all the other guys, like, oh, he's just, like, genetically like, you know, no matter what he did, he was always going to look like, like a. I can say it in this context, an Olympian.

[Shane]

Oh, like a, like, like a God. Greek Olympian. Yeah. Yeah, that's, that's fair. That's true.

[Selena]

Yeah. So eat that.

[Shane]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Selena]

Outsmarted the system. Hmm.

[Spencer]

Well, okay. When. Oh, games come here.

[Selena]

The what?

[Shane]

The what?

[Spencer]

I'm sorry, The O Games.

[Selena]

Aren't they doing something when they come here?

[Shane]

When they come here? We, I, I. Are we gonna have to, like, move away for a little bit?

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Well, isn't it gonna be.

[Selena]

What's so spread out? Like, something's, like, gonna be spread out. There's some, like. I mean, I'm making this up. Like, she's like, oh, yeah. Some of them are like, Barstow. I don't know. Some are, like, really far.

[Shane]

Well, they, well, like the surfing competition.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

In Tahiti.

[Shane]

Is in Tahiti, which is 10, 000 miles away.

[Selena]

Yeah, that's.

[Shane]

But we can have surf. They will have surfing. The Surfing stuff will be here.

[Selena]

Really?

[Shane]

Where? What are you talking. What are you talking?

[Selena]

Live here, though. I know. I know people do it. I'm just saying it's not like where I'd want to.

[Shane]

They may not have it in Los Angeles. They might have it up the coast or down. That's might be where it's like.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Upstate. Yeah, but even like Big Sur or something.

[Selena]

Yeah, I guess. I guess maybe Big Sur.

[Shane]

But there's definitely good.

[Selena]

Even like the big. Like. Like El Segundo or like Long Beach. Like, you know, you look at those.

[Shane]

Waves, it's like there are good surfing spots. It also depends on the time of year.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Which I guess they're not going to pull the Fisher guys off the pier and they're still going to be yelling at this.

[Shane]

They might. Then maybe. Then maybe they will. They could potentially put that in Hawaii.

[Selena]

I was going to say take their.

[Shane]

Take because I don't know in August how good the waves are.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Southern California.

[Spencer]

That makes sense. But you guys know that they're adding gridiron.

[Shane]

Yeah. Flag football.

[Spencer]

Yeah. And. Yeah. Flag football.

[Selena]

The dorky shit. What is that?

[Spencer]

Flag football.

[Selena]

Yeah. Dorks. Can I take a stand on that?

[Shane]

Yeah. Are they. Are they adding Magic? The Gathering?

[Selena]

What do they call Quidditch now?

[Spencer]

Quidditch.

[Selena]

No, no, they. They named it something else now to separate themselves from the black mold.

[Shane]

From. From Moldamort.

[Selena]

From Moldamort. Has anyone said that?

[Shane]

Yes, you'll have been saying that. That's really. That shit's gotten. I don't even want to talk about that shit.

[Selena]

I know, man.

[Shane]

Hit a new low. Which is amazing.

[Selena]

Yeah. She's been sharing her thoughts on the O Games so much is sure. Her. Her throwing her out a window.

[Shane]

Okay. Man.

[Selena]

Someone should share the velocity of. Of being propelled out a window with J.K. rowling. Huh? I'll work on it. The O Games is in. Oh, no. I'm being thrown out a window.

[Spencer]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

That's the game.

[Selena]

That's the O Games. I like, see her participate in.

[Shane]

Oh, my God. Okay, what were we talking about a second ago?

[Selena]

Where we're all over.

[Spencer]

Yeah, we're in LA and like, games being added.

[Shane]

Yes. It's gonna be crazy. I mean, it's gonna be kind of a once in a lifetime thing.

[Spencer]

It is. Are you guys gonna try to watch?

[Selena]

No, it'd be cool to watch.

[Spencer]

Why?

[Selena]

It's gonna be hot.

[Spencer]

Okay.

[Selena]

It's gonna be hot outside.

[Shane]

It's true. That's gonna be.

[Spencer]

There are indoor sports.

[Selena]

Those are the nerdy ones. No, I'm just kidding. I don't know. I mean, like, what. What is.

[Shane]

The games are for nerds.

[Selena]

Yeah. Let's see if I'm around in four years.

[Spencer]

Oh, my God.

[Selena]

A lot can happen.

[Shane]

Smosh is gone in four years.

[Selena]

Dude. Let's make our four year predictions.

[Shane]

Oh, no, that's scary.

[Selena]

That is scary.

[Spencer]

That's too far.

[Shane]

Did you ever have parents that were like, what's your five year prediction plan?

[Spencer]

Dude, I hate when people ask me that. I'm like, I can.

[Selena]

I'm like, I'm literally trying to get through the day.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

I barely go.

[Shane]

That's.

[Selena]

That's. I think what's like, stopping.

[Shane]

I think after these past four years, I think it's fair to be like, I can never predict the next four.

[Selena]

No, literally.

[Shane]

Yeah, because, like, literally, like, these last five years, it's like, yeah, we're all lucky to just kind of get by.

[Selena]

Yeah. No, I would never have thought I'd be where I was five years ago.

[Shane]

You had to make a guess. Five years ago, would you have guessed?

[Selena]

I have no idea. Oh, but certainly not this. Certainly not here on Smosh Cast talking.

[Shane]

About the O Games, I definitely. Yeah, I mean, I've talked about this before. I think five years ago, I would have probably thought, there's no way Smosh would be around in five years.

[Selena]

I definitely never thought.

[Shane]

Better than ever.

[Selena]

Yeah. No, I would. Absolutely. And I mean, not to be. Not like, because of this, but, like, you know, I never thought I would be on camera. You know, it wasn't. It wasn't really my. My goal until, like, you know, the more I was editing, the more I was like, I think I could do this.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

I think I would be. Like, the only part I would be jealous of was like, the video games and be like, you know, like, oh, they get to expect. Then it was like Smash Games. It's like all they're doing is, like, playing video games. I'm like. Like, I don't even want to be on camera. I just want to, like, play video games. But then, you know, kind of like, especially with the. The cast we have now, it's like, like, it's just so fun to be hanging out with, like, you know, interacting on camera. Like, it's just really cool. It's really cool.

[Spencer]

We should all take an O Games trip together in four years.

[Shane]

I'd be super down for that.

[Selena]

Oh, games reunion. Yeah, I'd be. What? Yeah, I mean, I need to look up, like, where and like, because, I mean, Is that already.

[Shane]

Is that.

[Selena]

It's already a lot of. I didn't decided.

[Spencer]

Has it? I mean, I'm sure it has, but I don't know anything.

[Shane]

It's crazy how many years in advance they started probably prepping.

[Spencer]

They've. They've decided all the way through at least choosing which cities through like 2032 or something.

[Selena]

Like all of the optimistic, bro.

[Shane]

Yeah, that stuff planned.

[Selena]

No, I mean, I remember, like, because didn't they have to cancel the Tokyo ones? And I make that up.

[Spencer]

They postponed it.

[Selena]

Yeah, they postponed it. But are they gonna do them again?

[Spencer]

They did it.

[Selena]

Oh, they did it. That's crazy, bro. I was asleep. I don't remember where I was in 2021.

[Shane]

You know what's insane to me with people who don't watch any sports whatsoever is that present. What said present is, is, you know, there's like seasons to sports. So it kind of adds something to certain parts of the year. Whereas if you don't watch sports, it's just like the year just kind of goes well.

[Spencer]

So I don't really.

[Selena]

I actually. So this is.

[Shane]

I.

[Selena]

Look at the leaves on the trees. Because they will change. No.

[Spencer]

So I actually don't watch that much sports. I, I. But for whatever reason, I love.

[Selena]

Oh games.

[Spencer]

And so it's like.

[Selena]

I think it is the, like the great.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah. No, I. The. The O games and the World Cup. The World Cup. I also get obsessed with liquid football.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yes. Pour it down my fucking throat. My golly, I love liquid football.

[Spencer]

Do we have to make up a name for that, too?

[Shane]

No football.

[Spencer]

No. World Cup.

[Selena]

World Cup. World. See the ICU piece.

[Shane]

Cup of the World.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Cup of the World. No, but it will be interesting to see, like, kind of infrastructural. Infrastructural. Is that infrastructure changes we make to la, like, for senior. Like, like Tokyo, they really made a bunch of changes for.

[Shane]

It's super expensive and it's. It's a debate on whether there's like, actual return on that. If it's like, is this worth it?

[Spencer]

Yeah. Well, it's too late now. We're going to find out.

[Shane]

We're going to. We're doing it. Yeah, we agreed.

[Selena]

I. I would like to know, like, it's like, what are they having? Like, Hollywood. That's crazy.

[Spencer]

Just on the Walk of Fame, you.

[Shane]

See, there is the marathon aspect. Like, there is there. There are those marathon runs which will be on streets throughout. So that stuff happens. Like, because they just did that stuff and they were going through I wonder.

[Selena]

If they'll do stuff like. Yeah.

[Shane]

Which by the. Okay. Actually, the competition, I would do, because I did see this is There is the speed walking.

[Spencer]

I did say.

[Shane]

That is so funny. And here's the thing. Watching it, I know it's probably really hard. Like, actually the process of keeping both feet. And they're all cheating. You watch the slow mo footage. You watch the slow mo footage. And the whole point is that one foot has to always be on the ground. They are. The people in the lead are jogging.

[Selena]

It's.

[Shane]

It's this. It's that. I. I saw the footage, and I'm just like, you're cheating. You're jogging.

[Selena]

Alexine is way too.

[Shane]

They're not here seeing what I saw. They're cheating. It shouldn't.

[Spencer]

They're not calling it out.

[Shane]

I don't know. Because they probably would realize it's. It's not. None of it can work.

[Selena]

Because of woke.

[Spencer]

Because of.

[Shane]

Woke. Because of walk.

[Selena]

Because of walk. Did you guys ever read the Long Walk?

[Shane]

No.

[Selena]

So it's like this Stephen King dystopian book, and it's like, the plot is like, every year, it's like this dystopian future, and it's like, every year, all these 100 boys collect and they start walking. And then every. If you drop below 4, he made up some dumbass number. And I remember my friend and I in high school were, like, obsessed with this book. So we tried it on a treadmill, and we're like, this is way too fast. But I think it's like, if you drop below four miles an hour, like, three times, you get shot.

[Spencer]

Damn.

[Selena]

So it's a hundred boys, and the book just follows these hundred boys as they walk. And it's like, you know, there's no stopping for the bathroom. There's no stopping to sleep. It's like a grueling. And, you know, the person who wins is like, a word of whatever they want. And so I thought about that a lot as a kid.

[Shane]

That's crazy that Mr. Beast read that and was like.

[Selena]

He's like, I think I can make this. I think I can work.

[Shane]

This is my job now.

[Selena]

Yeah, that's. I mean, you know, for anyone who's read it at home, it's like, it's such a. It's such a high school boy, I think. I think Stephen King, like, came up with it in high school and, like, wrote a lot of it in high school.

[Shane]

Oh, really?

[Selena]

And so when me and my friend read it in high school, like, this is this is the coolest book we've ever read.

[Shane]

I had a buddy who was really into that.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Have you read almost all the Stephen King books?

[Selena]

Probably. I've read over half, which may not sound like a lot.

[Shane]

No, that's.

[Selena]

It's a lot of books. 80 books, probably at least. Like 30, I would say, of his books.

[Shane]

That's impressive. What's your favorite?

[Selena]

Long Walk was up there for a while. I love it. You know, it's like, that's a cliche pick, but it's, you know, it's a really special book. And then I. I liked. You know, it was in my top three books. But his. His one about the guy who goes back in time to try and save JFK from getting shot.

[Shane]

What is it, 1111.

[Selena]

22? 63, I think I heard that was good. It's one of the stupidest concepts for a book ever. And the way it kind of comes about in the book is so funny because, like, he has this, like, there's this restaurant. So the guy's a high school teacher, as most Stephen King protagonists are. Wanted to be. They're either high school teachers or authors or sometimes both. And, you know, he always goes to this kind of diner. And he goes to the. He goes to the diner like, every week at least. He's like, oh, they have, like, these burgers that are so cheap and they're so good. He's like, man, how can this guy afford to have these, like, really cheap, delicious burgers? And after a while, the guy kind of pulls him aside. He's like, hey, you know, you want to know how? He's like, well, I have this portal in my basement, and it takes you back to the year 1962. And so I go back in time, I buy the meat, and I come back with it. And he's like, that's crazy.

[Shane]

I believe you.

[Selena]

And then. And he's like. He's like, yeah, like, sure, whatever, man. Like, as long as you keep feeding me this delicious beef. And so. So what happens is one time he comes to the restaurant, and the guy, like, he comes out of, like, the back, and he looks, like, really, like, old and haggard. And he's like, what happened? He's like, well, you won't believe what I just did. I went. So every time he goes back in time, he goes back to the same day and the same time in 19. He's like, I stuck around. I stuck around in 1962 for over a year, and I tried to prevent the assassination of jfk. And he's like, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. And he's like, well, I want you to do it now. And he's like, all right. He's like, I don't have a lot going on. He's like, well, you come back, like, kind of immediately. So he goes back in time and he spends, like. He spends, like, over a year in the 60s trying to, like, put together his plan. He's like, how am I going to stop the assassination of jfk? But, you know, while he's back there, he, like, falls in love. He, like, you know, kind of gets invested in the. In the time periods. Like, you know, what am I actually doing back here? And it's like a fascinating. It becomes like, a beautiful love story.

[Shane]

Instead, he kills Elvis.

[Selena]

Yeah. No, he. No, like, he. I would have been doing dumb shit back then, but, like, the whole, like, kind of rub is like, the more you push at the past, the more it, like, pushes back.

[Shane]

Interesting.

[Selena]

So, like, you know, he will try and change things, but things will kind of, like, try and, like, prevent him from, like, doing that. And it's a. It's one of the best books I've ever read, and it's stupid as shit. But, like, you know, Stephen King is. I mean, I think he's a genius because he can make the dumbest shit ever work in a awesome way.

[Shane]

That's cool.

[Selena]

Never. Yeah. Thanks for letting me on smoshcast and let me yap about Stephen King.

[Shane]

Selina, are you reading any books?

[Spencer]

I am not reading anymore. That's awesome.

[Selena]

That's awesome.

[Shane]

Hey, that's badass.

[Spencer]

I'm not a read. I used to be a reader. I used to read a lot when I was a kid. And, like, I would go to the library, rear a lot, and then life just happened.

[Selena]

And then you gotta. You gotta. You gotta force it, frankly.

[Spencer]

Yeah, no, I'm actually. No, I forgot. I'm reading the Bridgerton books.

[Shane]

Oh.

[Selena]

Oh, nice. Yeah.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

How many of those are there?

[Spencer]

Eight.

[Shane]

Oh. Oh, I forgot. Actually, I'm reading a bunch of books right now.

[Spencer]

Well, no, it's because. It's because I'm listening to it, so.

[Shane]

I'm like, the books aren't as good as the show.

[Spencer]

Not. They're really not. It's really not.

[Selena]

They're like.

[Spencer]

They're like gas station romance novel books.

[Selena]

As soon as I clock that, like, am I. The older I get, the more. If I'm not fucking with the book, I'm like, okay, next book.

[Spencer]

Yeah, well, because I want to compare it to how the show is going to go.

[Shane]

That's.

[Spencer]

That's why I should probably enjoy it. Yeah, to some degree. Exactly.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

But we're about to wrap up.

[Shane]

Yes.

[Spencer]

I have a. I really want to give a shout out. Also, we forgot to talk about her. Ilona Mar.

[Shane]

Oh, yes.

[Spencer]

And the women's rugby team.

[Shane]

Dude, Courtney's been obsessed.

[Spencer]

Yes.

[Shane]

Who's Ian?

[Spencer]

Yeah, Ian's got a crot.

[Selena]

See his. And she's really tall, right? Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. Well, she's.

[Spencer]

She's a rugby player.

[Shane]

Rugby player.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Run through a wall.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Oh, this was. The video hasn't gone up.

[Shane]

She's so funny, though.

[Selena]

Honestly, it might not even been in a video, but I didn't realize women's rugby was an Olympic sport. And everyone's like, how did you not know? I was like, I didn't know.

[Shane]

She. For the US Team to get bronze is impressive.

[Selena]

And she's American. I. I know nothing.

[Shane]

It's the US team, so. Yeah, but of course, New Zealand, I think one goal.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Right. Like, you're just not gonna beat them at rugby.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Shane]

But for us to get bronze, insane. Because it's not a sport that, like, us is known for. So our women's team really went and crushed.

[Selena]

I've only seen pictures of her and I was like, that's awesome.

[Shane]

I saw her so much on TikTok. I actually didn't know what sport she played because she's just kind of a celebrity on TikTok and she's just really funny and I knew she was an athlete, but yeah, we. We tried to get her on the podcast.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Selena]

When?

[Spencer]

Before the O.

[Shane]

Games.

[Spencer]

Before.

[Selena]

I know Kiana was behind this.

[Spencer]

Before the.

[Selena]

Okay.

[Shane]

She was busy, I believe.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Training for the.

[Selena]

Oh, Games.

[Shane]

But it could still happen if we could. Yeah, we'll make it happen. We'll get her on and we'll bring Ian on.

[Selena]

We can. We can recreate. We can recreate the Tyler 1 pick.

[Shane]

We won't let her know that Ian has a huge crush on.

[Selena]

He's already fucking added her, bro. That was what I texted. Because he's like crushed with ke$, over now. This chick is the one. But he added ke$.

[Shane]

Well, yeah, cuz he's probably. Probably trying to make Kesha jealous.

[Selena]

Okay.

[Shane]

Kesha is gonna see him be like, wait, he doesn't like me anymore.

[Selena]

No, it's okay. I'm sorry. Last thing. Is Kesha kind of tall? Because I saw.

[Spencer]

I think so.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Selena]

Because I saw this picture of her with Chapel.

[Shane]

They're both Taller. They're both taller than Ian. I love that.

[Selena]

Seems like.

[Shane]

It seems Ian has a type.

[Spencer]

Yeah, he has a type. So I get.

[Selena]

Yeah, I get into that.

[Spencer]

Yeah. So alone.

[Shane]

He wants to be rugby lifted.

[Selena]

He wants to be seen that the.

[Shane]

Rugby lift is so funny.

[Selena]

They fucking. They.

[Shane]

They. Wedgie.

[Selena]

Wedgie. You, bro.

[Shane]

Into the air.

[Selena]

Now I remember, like, all the. Because it's like all the guys, like, kind of fall on each other and they're like. They have to, like, grab each other's ass and, like, their pants are coming down. Like, what kind of sport is this, man?

[Shane]

I don't know. I don't know the rules.

[Selena]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

Yeah. I think you guys should do it right now.

[Shane]

It's been a great episode.

[Selena]

Thank each other, bro. What do you kind of podcast is this?

[Shane]

Thank you, Selena. Thank you, Spencer.

[Selena]

Thank you.

[Shane]

Thank you for this impromptu episode. This was a chill time.

[Spencer]

Thanks for coming on.

[Selena]

Thank you. No, I love talking about the O games.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. Hey, three glasses.

[Selena]

Three glasses.

[Shane]

Three glasses.

[Spencer]

Huge. How does it feel?

[Shane]

It feels fine. It's, you know, definitely for. I can read things farther away.

[Selena]

You kind of got high up on you.

[Spencer]

I know. I'm gonna. I wasn't gonna point out.

[Shane]

I was trying to tilt him down because of glare. Sometimes with cameras, I'm so used to hearing people tell, like, you and Noah and other people, like, hey, can you tilt the.

[Selena]

Oh, during? I think that's mostly for thumbnails.

[Shane]

Oh, really?

[Selena]

That's my impression.

[Shane]

Otherwise, I was doing that for no reason, but I was also doing it kind of just. Just for fun. I just kind of. No, I'm still not used to it entirely.

[Selena]

No, the. The. I remember I tricked someone. I remember one time, but I was like, hey, you know, the way you can tell of glasses are good or not is if you can do the thing where you. Where you press down on the back thing and they go like. And they're like, no way. And I was like, no, I just made that up. No, I can't. I can't. And that was before I had. I. Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. I think. I think one of them is a minus 1.5.

[Spencer]

Oh, baby. Prescriptions.

[Shane]

Yeah. It's mild nearsightedness. So what I really needed it for.

[Selena]

You're just trying to look dilfier, bro.

[Shane]

What I needed it for, and I'm gonna use it today because I just couldn't forget them, is the teleprompter. I couldn't. I was having trouble with teleprompter on Reddit stories. And here, whenever we do ad reads. I was like, I'm struggling a little bit.

[Selena]

Yeah. No, they. The mine. Mine changed. I don't want to say changed my life. That's dramatic. They changed a lot for the better.

[Shane]

Anyways, thank you both for being here and thank you for watching. We'll see you later. We got some very different episodes coming for the next couple weeks because Amanda's out of town. So we got this episode, but next week it will be Amanda, Angela, and Chance. And then the following week will be you, Alex and I hanging out, talking about video games and board games and stuff.
