[Ryan Higa]

That's right. So we have a bunch of our co workers here, a bunch of our friends, they're gonna come in one at a time, tell us their problems, and Amanda and I are gonna try to solve it for them.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, we're really good at that.

[Ryan Higa]

In the meantime, it's great to be hosting the show with you again.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. What happened?

[Ryan Higa]

Three years.

[Amanda Barnes]

It feels like we've been apart for so long.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. The reality was I was on vacation for a bit, and then you were perfectly on vacation for a bit. So we did some guest episodes. It was fun.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. We had some great guests.

[Ryan Higa]

Spencer, Alex and I talked about magic. The Gathering for an hour.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan Higa]

Pretty much.

[Amanda Barnes]

God, I wish I was there.

[Ryan Higa]

I know you had such a blast.

[Amanda Barnes]

Dang it. How could I miss that? Sounds awesome.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Whereas Angela and I talked about vacations.

[Ryan Higa]

Solid.

[Amanda Barnes]

And our families and true crime all in the same episode.

[Ryan Higa]

As expected.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

People loved it.

[Amanda Barnes]

I know. We're sick. We're sick beings. Oh, yeah. People loved it. It was really funny. People were texting me, being like, I relate to this so hard.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Because everyone knows what it's like to go on vacation with your family and then go on vacation as an adult. It's very different.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, it's not. Can it be categorized as vacation?

[Amanda Barnes]

No.

[Ryan Higa]

I feel like visiting family isn't vacation. I love my family, but, like, visiting family is not vacation.

[Amanda Barnes]

Wait, I actually have to ask you a question.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Do you work out on vacation?

[Ryan Higa]

Yes.

[Amanda Barnes]

I knew it.

[Ryan Higa]

Of course I do. Well, it depends on the vacation. Depends on the vacation. But see, I work out on vacation because it helps me relax. Like, I wake up in the morning, I like to work out. And then I just. I don't know, it gets that endorphin rush.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

And then the rest of the day.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm like, okay, so you use the hotel gym.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

I like it. Well, it's nice.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's decided. That's you.

[Ryan Higa]

It's decided.

[Amanda Barnes]

Angela and I had a whole beef about people working out on vacation. And we both agreed it's hard to watch, really, but it's great, you know? Sure.

[Ryan Higa]

I just. For me, it's that if I don't work out, I just. I feel.

[Amanda Barnes]

You feel tense.

[Ryan Higa]

I feel like. Yeah, I need to get. Like I have energy that I have to get out.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

And it just makes me feel comfortable.

[Amanda Barnes]

Better. I kind of agree with that. Like a walk or something. Or like a totally swim.

[Ryan Higa]

Anything. If I'm doing. If I'm like hiking in a day, I don't need to work out.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, no, that's a workout.

[Ryan Higa]

If I'm doing stuff. But, you know, if it. If it's a vacation where I'm literally just lounging, I enjoy it because, I don't know, I just. It just makes me feel good.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. I get it.

[Ryan Higa]

It's like part of the vacation for me. And hotel gyms are usually empty, so it's kind of nice that I get to do my own thing. There's. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Except for that one other person that's working out there.

[Ryan Higa]

There's always one. One person.

[Amanda Barnes]

And you have your headphones on and, you know, and they either forgot their headphones or they have them.

[Ryan Higa]

But then for them, you're that one person.

[Amanda Barnes]

Exactly.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

You guys need each other.

[Ryan Higa]

I know.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, then I'm happy that you work out.

[Ryan Higa]

Thanks.

[Amanda Barnes]

On vacations.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're welcome. You're not on our shit list anymore.

[Ryan Higa]

We were talking shit about you for the past few weeks. We were like, do we think we'll stop now?

[Amanda Barnes]

Do we think Shane does this? And we're like, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

I mean, what?

[Amanda Barnes]

And you read a lot.

[Ryan Higa]

I do. I've been reading a shit ton, man. Wow. Been reading so much.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're incredible.

[Ryan Higa]

Hey, thanks. Wow.

[Amanda Barnes]

Truly.

[Ryan Higa]

Well, do we want to hop into some of these problems?

[Amanda Barnes]

Look at us. We are equipped to solve people's problems. We just solved our own thing.

[Ryan Higa]

I work out on vacation. I read. So I'm ready to solve any problem. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

And I hang out.

[Ryan Higa]

All right, let's bring in our first client.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. First client.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. Ian Hecox.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, nice.

[Amanda Barnes]

Hey. Hey.

[Ryan Higa]

Hello, Ian.

[Amanda Barnes]

Hello, client.

[Ryan Higa]

Hey. So this is a real problem. Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay. Woo. Coming right in.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay. So I have this friend and we decided to have a race. A race? A race. Running just Just kind of.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, thank you for clarifying.

[Ryan Higa]

And I kind of, like. I kind of destroyed him. And I feel like ever since he's there, there's been this, like, lingering animosity towards me. Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

I feel like I really humbled him because this is somebody that, like, really prides themselves on being very, like, physically capable. And I think for a long. They. They. They prided themselves on, like, never getting, like, injured.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, no. Did they get injured?

[Ryan Higa]

Well, I mean, like, lately they've been. They've been getting, like. They've been getting injured a lot more often. I think they're. They're starting to, like. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Old.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, they're. Yeah, they're starting to face, like, how old they're getting.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's really tough.

[Ryan Higa]

And I feel like. Yeah. Every. Every time I, like, you know, go by them, I sense this feeling like, you know, that they're just like, this, like, wounded dog, you know, because they know, like, I destroyed them, you know? Do you know, Shane, you, like, really.

[Amanda Barnes]

You really passed them in the race. Like, how many minutes were you ahead of them?

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, I mean, like, I think we stopped counting, honestly.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, that's awful.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, it was. It was really bad.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's really embarrassing.

[Ryan Higa]

What do you think? What do you think I should do? I mean, I don't think you have to do anything. That's just.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's this person. Shane.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Are you talking about me? What? I mean, I didn't want to. I mean, I don't want to say who it is.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay, well, okay, we won't say who it is.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

All we know is they're getting old. They're humbled and they're upset with you.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

And they're getting injured because they're getting super old.

[Ryan Higa]

And they've never. And we've never talked about it since then, but I could just, like, sense it in them that they're like. That they. They've just been humbled so bad because I beat them so thoroughly.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, yeah. You're really nailing in the coffin right now.

[Ryan Higa]

And I just don't know how to move forward in our friendship, because I could just sense they've never been the same since.

[Amanda Barnes]

Here's my thought. And I don't know who this person is who's very old. Here's my thought. I would message them and go, hey, rematch.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

And then you'll be able to figure out where they're at, because you cannot go on living like this, Ian.

[Ryan Higa]

I agree. They can't go on living. I'm fine.

[Amanda Barnes]

You don't seem fine.

[Ryan Higa]

Well, I'm. I'm worried for them.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, you're worried for them?

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Do you have any advice, Shane? Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. You know, maybe go up to him, give them 500 bucks.

[Amanda Barnes]

Whoa.

[Ryan Higa]

Like, hey, dude, sorry about this. You know, you're getting old. But here's $500.

[Amanda Barnes]

There's the.

[Ryan Higa]

Spend it how you want.

[Amanda Barnes]

No, I don't ever.

[Ryan Higa]

This person is.

[Amanda Barnes]

I don't agree with that. That not everyone's a winner couple. Not everyone's a winner. No.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay. Okay, I'm. I'm guessing this is about me. I'm guessing if we're talking about the FBI fitness test that we did a couple years ago. Whoa. Oh, yeah. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yes.

[Amanda Barnes]

FBI fitness test. Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, yeah, we did. The FBI.

[Amanda Barnes]

You guys needed that for smosh.

[Ryan Higa]

A bunch of things. Yeah. But it came to the running portion, and I did about as bad as I expected I would do. And, Ian, you're a runner. You are. Quite literally. That's your side. Sounds like you're making excuses, Shane.

[Amanda Barnes]

Woo.

[Ryan Higa]

Excuses. No, I'm saying that I knew you were gonna destroy me at that. And you did.

[Amanda Barnes]

So here's the thing. I think that you should text. So you should text Shane, clearly. Cause Shane's the old person who didn't win. You should text him and say, rematch, question mark.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

And whoever wins buys you dinner. And then it's almost like, yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

How about that? Okay. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

So Ian will buy you dinner.

[Ryan Higa]

Man, you're really good at running this. Let's do that. What do you think? No. Boo.

[Amanda Barnes]

No. Whoever wins buys dinner.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, whoever wins. Whoever wins buys a walk. Cause I want free dinner.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, but that's you not being mature.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, but that's you being a baby.

[Amanda Barnes]

God, like, I was invited to your house. Like, walked in on this scenario.

[Ryan Higa]

No, it's like, we. We do the race, and it's like, okay, whoever. Whoever loses has to buy dinner. And, like, as we get close to the finish line, like, I'm far behind. I'm so, like, it's actually whoever wins has to buy dinner. Actually, it's that.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

House rules.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, you say it last minute. That. That's my opinion. I think you guys should have a rematch, and whoever wins buys dinner. And you guys hug it out, and then it's.

[Ryan Higa]

It just becomes we walk for several days at a snail's pace.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, great. That's fine.

[Ryan Higa]

It's like two bodies were found next to the Silver Lake reservoir. They were. They were walking for weeks on end. Just awful. Well, thank you so much.

[Amanda Barnes]

I hope that you work out.

[Ryan Higa]

I've gotten a lot of clarity and. Suck it, Shane. I feel like.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, my.

[Ryan Higa]

I feel like we weren't solving your problem. I feel like you were addressing my problem.

[Amanda Barnes]

Wow.

[Ryan Higa]

We're starting here.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you, Ian Hecox, for that. Thank you to our first client.

[Ryan Higa]

Wow. Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Are you okay?

[Ryan Higa]

No.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay. God, you're really getting a lot of heat right now.

[Ryan Higa]

That hurts more than my shin splints.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm so sorry. Not everyone can run.

[Ryan Higa]

I. Mike. Yeah. I'm bad at running.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm not good at running either. And I should be running. I'm tall.

[Ryan Higa]

I do the Stair Stepper.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Good at that. I can do that for like an hour.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's awesome.

[Ryan Higa]

But running I suck at.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's okay.

[Ryan Higa]

My shins hurt.

[Amanda Barnes]

My knees hurt.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

So Ian. He's fine.

[Ryan Higa]

He's just. You know what? He can run away.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, he can run away. He did.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. He said what he needed to say in front of an audience and he left.

[Ryan Higa]

Wow. I didn't realize he felt that way after that.

[Amanda Barnes]

Sounds like he's been holding onto it for years.

[Ryan Higa]

Marcus also schooled me at that. They both lapped me. We were at a park, they crushed me and I was like, yeah, I'm.

[Amanda Barnes]

So glad you're just, you know, accepting it. It's awesome.

[Ryan Higa]

I. It's okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Good.

[Ryan Higa]

We do the Good Will Hunting thing. It's like.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's not your fault.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's not your fault.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, I. I know, Shane.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's not your fault. Okay, well, we are well established people with good hearts. Who's our next client?

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Who's the next person who could come in and diss me? Oh.

[Amanda Barnes]

It'S Erica and her pup, Winnie.

[Ryan Higa]

Hi. We say hi.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, little one. The first dog you've had on a podcast.

[Ryan Higa]

Yes. Wow.

[Amanda Barnes]

And you're so special.

[Ryan Higa]

And we have so many dogs here.

[Amanda Barnes]

So many dogs. We'll just do a dog episode. Yeah, you should do. Let them all host their own show.

[Ryan Higa]

That'd be real. No, we. We should set them all up here and then have poker chips and. And playing cards.

[Amanda Barnes]

Do it. Take that picture.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Give them all a cigarette.

[Amanda Barnes]

Let's do it. Well, hi, everyone. Hi, Erica. We're here today for Winnie, not for me.

[Ryan Higa]

Winnie has a bully. A bully?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, it's my roommate's three legged cat. Oh, God. Cats are not safe. They have a brother sister relationship and I'm an only child. So I figured you guys might be able to give her Some advice on.

[Ryan Higa]

How she can stand up to him.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay, so is it day and night that she's bullied?

[Ryan Higa]

Is she always bullying?

[Amanda Barnes]

So basically when it starts is like, they're extroverts. They love people paying attention to them. So when we have guests come over there.

[Ryan Higa]

Yes.

[Amanda Barnes]

They're both Aries, if that's helpful. Oh, very helpful. Shane loves that.

[Ryan Higa]

Animal astrology.

[Amanda Barnes]

Shane loves fire signs. They're fire signs.

[Ryan Higa]

I can tell. Your dog is a Pisces. I can tell.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, that would be good. I can tell.

[Ryan Higa]

Look at her.

[Amanda Barnes]

Is this not Aries energy?

[Ryan Higa]

Right.

[Amanda Barnes]

She's Aries energy for sure. She's like, I'm taking over this. But it's when people come over and they're both competing to be the center of attention and charm will, like, kind of like slap her into submission with his, like, little nub and then his other little leg. It's very funny to watch.

[Ryan Higa]

Kind of badass.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's kind of embarrassing for Winnie.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, I love, I love when, like how with dogs, so many of them size like a creature so much smaller than them, they will be so scared of.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Just based on confidence.

[Amanda Barnes]

He'll stand in a hallway and she won't go down the hallway because she doesn't want to go past him.

[Ryan Higa]

So funny.

[Amanda Barnes]

This is. This is pretty real. So you have a little battle going on in your household.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

And the thing is, they do snuggle with each other when it's quiet and it's like one person, but then they're embarrassed when other people around and they have to show them. Okay, so when people come over, what if there's like a equal parts attention vibes, like, what if they greet Winnie outside maybe, and then Winnie gets her moment and then they come in.

[Ryan Higa]

You could get some red rope and give, like, make like a VIP section and like one of them there, like, for one party. It's like, okay, hey, like, you talk to the cat. You're like, hey, you booked the VIP section. So, like, the cat's like, I know the cat's going to feel great being in the VIP section. Like, this is my area. And then like, when he's hanging out, maybe closer to the bar, like chilling most people.

[Amanda Barnes]

You have a club in your house.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, it's like a club set up in my. Yeah. So, like, I feel like if you do that, maybe the cat will be like, okay. Actually, I'm pretty cool, so I don't need to bully Winnie. Yeah, I've got the VIP section.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, the cat needs to feel cool. And Winnie needs to get her moment with people. Yeah. So I guess, yeah, rope off half your house and do a VIP section for the cat.

[Ryan Higa]

What do you think about that, Winnie?

[Amanda Barnes]

Are you cool with Charmed being vip? You know what, the thing is, Winnie will just have to deal with it. In siblings relationship, you're put into your role at a young age and you kind of just have to accept it. It's not until you get older and get some therapy that you realize, I don't need this role anymore. So maybe we get Winnie a little therapist. Oh, do you need to go to therapy? She's like, no, I need treats.

[Ryan Higa]

You could also just sit them before, like a party. You could just sit them both down. Just be like, hey, guys, I need a level with you. You know, just man to cat to dog here. You guys need to keep your cool. Do not embarrass me. If you embarrass me, we're done.

[Amanda Barnes]

Pull the disappointment card. Yeah, well, I'm gonna be dis. Erica is not a fan.

[Ryan Higa]

No. See, animals understand all of human language. They do, they do. They pretend they don't.

[Amanda Barnes]

She does.

[Ryan Higa]

So that they don't have to.

[Amanda Barnes]

Winnie knows English and she knows a little Spanish.

[Ryan Higa]

They're trying not to pay taxes, but they understand everything. And so you can just level with them.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's what. Yeah, I agree. And I would say as a sibling, you kind of gotta give special attention to each of them. Otherwise you just don't want someone feeling like the black sheep.

[Ryan Higa]

Exactly. You could also, before you could let a bird into the house. So the cat is preoccupied. Whoa.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's messed up. That's actually smart. It's like, you know, but the bird is not safe.

[Ryan Higa]

No, no. This is like the lady who swallowed the fly thing. You're going to have to keep adding things. Yeah, but these are options.

[Amanda Barnes]

These are all options.

[Ryan Higa]

They are really helpful ideas.

[Amanda Barnes]

Do you have red rope? Nope. I can go get some red rope.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Pick a VIP section.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, yeah. Make the cat feel good.

[Ryan Higa]

Cats love a VIP section.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, they love a VIP section. And let Winnie know that she'll be okay and she'll always have your love and you're not.

[Ryan Higa]

That's what we've gotten from.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, no. Oh, no, wait a second. Hold on. Huh?

[Ryan Higa]

Cats are fully evil.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

I love videos where a dog is like trying to sneak past a cat and the cat's just sitting there and then right as the dog is perfectly right next to him, the cat's just like, mm, yeah, got you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, that's charm.

[Ryan Higa]

It's devastating.

[Amanda Barnes]

You just have to deal with what the cat is evil.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Just kidding. Probably cool. No, they are a really good boy.

[Ryan Higa]

Cats are.

[Amanda Barnes]

Charm's a good boy.

[Ryan Higa]

Two cats. They are so sweet. I have to acknowledge sometimes I'm like, you are demons. Like, you are nature's demons. If I let you out of the house, you will kill so many birds, it affects the environment. I have to acknowledge that.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, he contained. There you go. And sibling nature. You just have to, you know, accept that this is where they're at right now. They might have to work it out on their own, too. Yeah, just gonna let them duke it out.

[Ryan Higa]

Exactly.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. We give you a lot of advice there, and I hope you take a piece of it.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm gonna go get some red rope right now. Okay, great. Thanks, Erica. Bye, Winnie. Sorry about everything that's happening to you. Just a siblings.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm imagining a pirate cat.

[Amanda Barnes]

It still happens when you're an adult. I know when people come over and the siblings act up.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, dude, they act up for me.

[Amanda Barnes]

My little sister's always like, we're gonna play Clue and everyone's gonna play. And I'm like, that's her thing. That's her acting up.

[Ryan Higa]

All right, our next client, Noah. Hello, Noah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Hi, Noah. Hello.

[Ryan Higa]

Hello.

[Amanda Barnes]

Hi to both of you. Hi, Shane. Hello, client. Hi.

[Ryan Higa]

Glad to be a client.

[Amanda Barnes]

I have a serious problem that I would like some help with. It's something I've struggled with, I think, my whole life. Even more so now that I'm an.

[Ryan Higa]

Adult and have to provide for myself.

[Amanda Barnes]

I don't know how to cook and eat three meals a day, and I don't know if anyone can do that task.

[Ryan Higa]

It's so hard.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's so hard. I've known this about you, man.

[Ryan Higa]

I relate to this heavily.

[Amanda Barnes]

We've talked about this. I need advice. So you want advice on how to cook three delicious meals for yourself and actually eat them?

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Enough sustenance for a day. Like, I feel like I go to the grocery store and I don't know what to get. I'm like, okay, I could get avocados to make guacamole. Maybe I'll put that on a sandwich. Okay, Is that one meal? Do I do that every day? And then what do I add?

[Ryan Higa]

Now? Do I go and get strawberry?

[Amanda Barnes]

I feel like in three days, those are moldy. Do I go and get frozen rice? It's like, okay, is that food? Do I just eat rice and beans? Well, it's a complete protein. It is I can think frozen rice. Yeah. Maybe not. I don't know.

[Ryan Higa]

I mean, I can. Some things that I have that. Because I struggle with this and like, it does feel. I'm like. It's part of being an adult. Just that I have to go to the grocery store all the time.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yes.

[Ryan Higa]

And everything is so expensive.

[Amanda Barnes]

But you meal prep.

[Ryan Higa]

I do try to meal prep and I mean, I try to eat a lot of food. What does that look like when you so a lot of it. What I've gotten that's helped a lot is an air fryer huge. And also a rice cooker huge is.

[Amanda Barnes]

In the size of the air fryer, because I have one and it is so big and it holds.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, wow. See, I have a small air fryer, but oh my God.

[Amanda Barnes]

My fryer is incredible. Big egg. I don't know when it's from.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh my God.

[Amanda Barnes]

That sounds like an outdoor barbecue.

[Ryan Higa]

I think you found an alien ship. I might.

[Amanda Barnes]

Honey. I'm telling you, it fits like six chicken nuggets. And it's so big. Six. It's so fucking big. Six chicken nuggets. Okay, well. Huh. Okay. So you air fry.

[Ryan Higa]

Air fryer is incredible. But I also, I make a lot of just like ground turkey. Like, that's just a very easy thing. I use like soy sauce and honey and like ginger and garlic. I just throw that all into it. And I like make that on a skillet. But a rice cooker is also incredible. I mean. And that makes cooking rice so easy. Yeah, it's just like. So you'll just make like.

[Amanda Barnes]

So for how many days do you prep off of your ground turkey?

[Ryan Higa]

Well, I'd say probably like three days. Okay, so because. Because more than that. And it's sitting in the fridge too long.

[Amanda Barnes]

So 9 servings of ground turkey in the wok?

[Ryan Higa]

No, no, not necessarily. I'd say it's like. That's for like dinner or lunch or something. I think for breakfast I'm often doing like oatmeal and hard boiled eggs. Oh, and I have hard boiled egg.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's a good. I do have a lot of protein.

[Ryan Higa]

I have a lot of machines. So I have a little machine that makes hard boiled eggs. And that's also.

[Amanda Barnes]

He's got a lot of machines.

[Ryan Higa]

I got a lot of machines.

[Amanda Barnes]

Everything that he does, he has a pot.

[Ryan Higa]

What do you mean a hard boiled egg? I have a great. I have a great little. These. It's like 15 bucks on Amazon. It's a little thing that eggs. And you just put seven eggs inside this Little thing and then a little bit of water, and you press a button and then it goes off when it's all done. And you have seven hard boiled eggs, and that lasts me a couple days.

[Amanda Barnes]

I think we've lost Noah. That's incredible. But that. Okay, can I say I feel like what would really help you is to do one of those, like, boxes that get sent to your house that have these pretty.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, the factor things or hellofresh.

[Amanda Barnes]

Hello, fresh.

[Ryan Higa]

Hello, fresh.

[Amanda Barnes]

Hey, look, if you ask us to sponsor an episode soon. Hellofresh factor. And you want to send a code for me. Look, I just think. I think what you need is protein on the ready. Like, you just. What really helps me is we make, like, a bunch of chicken, and then we do soup out of it, and then we freeze the soup, and then we cut up the chicken in different things. We'll make, like, chicken salad or chicken breast, and then you just make a bunch of sides.

[Ryan Higa]

So you, like, freeze a broth? Yeah. Does the broth have, like, vegetables and stuff in it?

[Amanda Barnes]

No.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay. Yeah, we still add all that after.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Ooh.

[Amanda Barnes]

So I always have, like, protein in the fridge somehow. How do you cook your chicken that you're just prepping?

[Ryan Higa]

Prepping.

[Amanda Barnes]

I bake it.

[Ryan Higa]

You bake it?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, Yeah, I bake it like a. I put the. I put the. I put the fried. I don't know. I put the carcass in the carcass. A whole chicken. Oh, boy. We're gonna have to start from, like. Do you get. What I mean is, like, when you.

[Ryan Higa]

Go, is it like a box of breasts?

[Amanda Barnes]

A box of breasts or like, a container? That sounds awesome.

[Ryan Higa]

You know what? You should. Honestly, you should. There's. There's tons of cookbooks. I. I think what's really helpful is there's tons of cookbooks for any type of thing. There's cookbooks for meal prepping, so you can get a ton of recipes. So you can be trying that every week. But what I like to do is during the week, I eat very boring. I'm eating as quick and simple as possible. But then on weekends is when I'm like, okay, now I'll, like, cook something nice. Cook something from a recipe book, and I'll like something that takes a little bit longer.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's true. Incredible. Yeah. You could, like Shane said, get a cookbook and make, like, a big dish that'll last you three days, and then you eat off of that and then, like, change up your breakfast.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay. I'm trying to imagine what dish is good for three days. But what I'm gathering here. Stew. There you go. Hard boiled eggs and soup. That's what I'm learning. And honestly, that sounds pretty good.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Make sure to get some fiber, too.

[Amanda Barnes]

Get some fiber or take fiber pills.

[Ryan Higa]

As long as you're eating protein and fiber and then, like, some carbs, I'll be alive. Your vitamins and stuff. You'll be alive.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay, good. Are you gonna do this? I'm going to try hard boiled eggs and soup. That sounds like my solution. Don't put them.

[Ryan Higa]

You're going to have more than that.

[Amanda Barnes]

No, no, no. I like the doctor that when I walk out and then have bread. Bread as well. Look at that.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm a new man.

[Amanda Barnes]

Bread, eggs, and soup. Bread, eggs, soup.

[Ryan Higa]

You come in next week, just super buff, like seven feet tall. You're like, I found out I wasn't eating enough food.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's not going well. Thank you so much for the advice.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, yeah, no problem.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're so welcome. And also, just grab some protein bars for yourself.

[Ryan Higa]

You know what?

[Amanda Barnes]

I will check out the kitch. Okay, honey?

[Ryan Higa]

All right.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you, guys. Thanks, Noah.

[Ryan Higa]

Honestly, I. I feel it because it's a weekly frustration for me of, like, food is just really hard.

[Amanda Barnes]

Food is very.

[Ryan Higa]

It's so expensive. It's so hard to, like, navigate. And yeah, getting fresh food, it goes bad so quick.

[Amanda Barnes]

It goes bad so fast.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, no, I understand when people, like, shame people for not having healthy diets.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm like, it's fucking so hard and it's expensive. Yeah, healthy diets are really expensive.

[Ryan Higa]

It's ridiculous.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Anyways, we're killing it.

[Ryan Higa]

Next client.

[Amanda Barnes]

Next client. Ollie, Ollie, Ollie.

[Ryan Higa]

Good.

[Amanda Barnes]

How are you?

[Ryan Higa]

Good.

[Amanda Barnes]

I just have a little problem. Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

So I'm. If you don't know about me, I.

[Amanda Barnes]

Really like K Pop and my old are my favorite group. They're all in the military, and I don't know how to cope with that.

[Ryan Higa]

Well, one of them is back tech. Are you talking about bts?

[Amanda Barnes]

Wait a second, wait a second.

[Ryan Higa]

Bts? They have to.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. In Korea, all men have to be in the military. Okay, got it.

[Ryan Higa]

How do you think that is?

[Amanda Barnes]

BTS in the military?

[Ryan Higa]

Imagine the military, it's like, all right, here's your bunk mate. And it's the most famous person in your country.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. Are they. Are they. Do you think that they're, like, in bunks? Or are they, like, doing military on the computer? You understand what I'm trying to say?

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Like, where do you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Can you do. Can you work from home, technically.

[Ryan Higa]

Cause one of the members is technically back. Back already. But, like, it's not the same without.

[Amanda Barnes]

All seven of them. Yeah, well, yeah, he's the only one singing.

[Ryan Higa]

Are they gonna reform? Yeah, they're planning to come back in 2025 once all of them are back. It was. I remember when this happened, this was insane because BTS was the. Is still, like, the biggest band in the world, and it's like, oh, they have to go do military now. You're like, what? They're just gone?

[Amanda Barnes]

How long are they gone for?

[Ryan Higa]

Two years, right?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, it's like a year. Whoa.

[Ryan Higa]

The one that just came back, he's been. He went first, and then the next one comes back in October, and that's J. Hope, and. Yeah. Then the rest come back in June of next year. I thought one of them had a single recently.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, they, like, pre.

[Ryan Higa]

Did a whole bunch of stuff, so they're, like, still releasing.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay. So they're like. It's crazy. They're feeding their fans right now, but you. You don't know how to cope because it feels so long.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. And it's like, they're not physically here, so it's like. Because they usually, like, would go live and stuff on, like, their. Yeah, there's. There's a couple thoughts here. One is you could try to make your way to Korea and enlist in the world.

[Amanda Barnes]

I was gonna say that. No, I wasn't gonna say that.

[Ryan Higa]

You could literally be BTS army with them.

[Amanda Barnes]

I was gonna say you could just say.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm just saying that's an option. Infiltration, number one.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm saying you could go to Korea and feel close to them. Not join the military. Go to Korea and just feel them there.

[Ryan Higa]

Another is. I mean, do you like other K pop groups besides them? I'm really into Ateez.

[Amanda Barnes]

They're like, one of my second.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay, well, they're your second.

[Amanda Barnes]

Can they maybe, you know, bump up to first right now?

[Ryan Higa]

It's just not the same. It's not the same. It's not the same.

[Amanda Barnes]

You might have to, like, just fake it till you make it. Just tell yourself, this is awesome. I love this group right now. They're my one true. I did just see them live, too.

[Ryan Higa]

And they were really good.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, well, there you go.

[Ryan Higa]

You saw them live. Oh, the Ateez.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. Not bts.

[Ryan Higa]

Got it. Yeah. You could do, like, what I've been doing where I'm learning music. So you could just try to listen to a bunch of the other K pop groups, because there's like 5 million. Right. Basically, I feel like there's a new one every week, and they're just like, have you heard. Have you listened to. I don't know, it's. Have you listened to Jean shorts? What do you feel like if you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Listen to other K Pop groups, do you think that you're, like, you know, going against bts? Do you think they would find out?

[Ryan Higa]

True. They do make jokes about that sometimes. Like, while you're cheated on us.

[Amanda Barnes]

Whoa, bro. You're gone for, like, a year. It's an intense.

[Ryan Higa]

Like, it's. It's intense.

[Amanda Barnes]

So you're a little bit like, you feel guilty.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, let me tell you, Ollie, you have to live your life, and you can listen to other K Pop groups.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you.

[Amanda Barnes]

We're saying that right here live on television.

[Ryan Higa]

Have you listened to every single BTS song?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, I think so.

[Ryan Higa]

No, everything I've been. Sometimes when. When there's, like, kind of like a halt on new content, like, I take that. I take advantage of it. I'm like, sweet, time to catch up. Exactly. Cause that's. That's like, when. Oh, there's, like, you know, like. I don't know. There's like, oh, there's no new shows right now. There's no new video games for Bench.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

I have my catalog that I can get, so I sometimes take advantage of that. But I also feel like you're in the end stretch here. They're gonna be coming back soon. Yeah. I'm, like. The only thing I'm like, I'm not caught up with, they have this show called, like, Run BTS on their.

[Amanda Barnes]

On YouTube.

[Ryan Higa]

And it's like they do variety shows. It's kind of like.

[Amanda Barnes]

There you go.

[Ryan Higa]

Kind of like a challenge bit. It's kind of.

[Amanda Barnes]

Kind of. Wow.

[Ryan Higa]

And you haven't watched all of this? No, there's like, 150 of them, Ollie.

[Amanda Barnes]

150 episodes, Ollie. I'm almost.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm almost. Ollie, you have work to do, Ollie.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, you literally, you actually. BTS wants you to do this work. Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

You have to do this work on my lunch. I'm just gonna watch everything.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, great. Yeah. Don't take any breaks. Just watch.

[Ryan Higa]

But I will also say the anticipation for things is often better than the thing itself.

[Amanda Barnes]

I agree.

[Ryan Higa]

Think back on. It's. That anticipation is so nice.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's like Christmas.

[Ryan Higa]

You kind of enjoy this feeling for now.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're so excited when Christmas comes.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, Exactly.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yep. So just sit in this moment and then watch their challenge pit video.

[Ryan Higa]

Exactly.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you.

[Ryan Higa]

So much.

[Amanda Barnes]

I feel.

[Ryan Higa]

I feel better.

[Amanda Barnes]

Good. Thank you for validating me. You're so welcome. BTS is not mad at you. I promise.

[Ryan Higa]

It's gonna be crazy when they're back, because it has been strange that they've been. They've been gone for so long.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Bts Huge.

[Amanda Barnes]

You've been listening to them a lot.

[Ryan Higa]

I don't listen to a ton of BTs, but, yeah, I like a lot of this. Yeah, K Pop is awesome.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, it is. They seem so cool. I did not know that they were on a military. Like, it's just something they have to do.

[Ryan Higa]

It's insane.

[Amanda Barnes]

I thought in some countries, if you didn't. If you, like, went to college or you had a job, you didn't go.

[Ryan Higa]

I think in South Korea, you literally have to.

[Amanda Barnes]

Got it heard.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Wow.

[Ryan Higa]

Anyways.

[Amanda Barnes]

Anyways.

[Ryan Higa]

All right.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay. Next up, Monica. Does anyone call you Mon Monty? My parents are like, mon. Mon.

[Ryan Higa]

Could be.

[Amanda Barnes]

I love it.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay. Anyway.

[Amanda Barnes]

Hi, Mon. Hi.

[Ryan Higa]

First off, I want to say you. You designed the brutal T shirt. I did, and I was very happy with that. That design is so cool, and that's all thanks to you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you so much.

[Ryan Higa]

That was my.

[Amanda Barnes]

My first merch piece. Whoa. It was huge art.

[Ryan Higa]

Our merch right now is better than I think it's ever been. It's killing it. It's so good. Yeah. I'm wearing. I'm rocking the essential right now.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's amazing. I went on vacation, and everyone in my family wanted to wear chronically offline every month.

[Ryan Higa]

Nice.

[Amanda Barnes]

My dad was like, send me a link to that chronically offline. I was like, okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. I loved those pictures.

[Amanda Barnes]

The whole fam. Replicated. Yes. The whole fam. I didn't even have to. I didn't have to do anything. They would just wear it. And I was like, hell, yeah. Incredible. They loved it.

[Ryan Higa]

Yep. So what brings you in today? Okay, well, I'm really stressed, so no pressure.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're getting married, but I'm getting married.

[Ryan Higa]

Whoa.

[Amanda Barnes]

I am two months out from my wedding day, just about two days in a week, and I'm stressed. So the gist. The gist is, of course, we are.

[Ryan Higa]

Keeping things small, but the closer we.

[Amanda Barnes]

Get to the day, the more details, pressures, expectations, things people need from me continue to pop up. And lately, I have felt so much more overwhelmed than excited, which is not how I want to feel. It's such a bummer. Not how I want to feel going into things. So as two people who have been through it and come out the other Side, I would love advice on how to just like, I know stress is inherent in the process, but I would love advice on how to put it to the side a little bit more and make room for like excitement and fun through the planning process and therefore set myself up for success for like.

[Ryan Higa]

The most stress free day possible. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Let me tell you. I will say the first two months before you get married, it's where all the last minute details need to come and a lot of things will pop up from people. It is. And this might not be the best advice, but it is okay to feel overwhelmed right now. This is the time when you're gonna feel the most overwhelmed.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

I promise you think about five days before you get married, you are gonna feel okay. You are gonna feel a lot of emotions. You will have a stress free day. This is the time when you're gonna feel the most overwhelmed. I promise you. But it will. This is the work that you have to do to have a stress free day.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

And that sounds so insane. Cause it's your wedding and even if it's small, but I also will say all the little things that keep popping up. Do you have a little website where you have a Q and A on it? Oh, faq. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. You know what you can do? You can just send them a link to that.

[Ryan Higa]

I love.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, like literally you can send them a link to that or have your partner kind of take over. I know. And that kind of has been the thing is like being like, okay, I can't continue to field. No the questions if I have to approve one more outfit. Oh, sorry. Family, I love you.

[Ryan Higa]

Family, friends, I love you.

[Amanda Barnes]

I appreciate that you want my opinion. I have such decision fatigue. I can't look at your outfit. You should say that with love and then link them to the faq. Yes, that might. Yeah, that might kind of.

[Ryan Higa]

And the first question on is, are you annoying me? It's like, yes, yes, you are right.

[Amanda Barnes]

Have you.

[Ryan Higa]

Leave me alone.

[Amanda Barnes]

Texted a link. Here's the reasons why. Yes, exactly, Shane.

[Ryan Higa]

I mean, you know, for so many of these very reasons is why we kind of forewent like the big ceremony thing. But even then it's still a lot. And you know, we still had celebrations afterwards that were just kind of parties. But even still with family and stuff, there's just expectations. You know, your family cares about you and it's such a big thing for certain. Especially like our parents, generations, like they just. It's like, like wedding. Oh my God.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's their thing.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. I think I do agree with Amanda that the leading up to it is gonna be stressful no matter what. Like, it's kinda. You kind of have to accept that. I think what's most important is for you and your partner on the day to be like, all right, if everything goes wrong today, that's fine. Like, it's about our reaction to it. This is just about having fun. And honestly, if you take it in stride and you kind of celebrate when things go don't go according to plan, it then makes it a more fun story you like. As the best I have as an example is, like, on the day, you know, Ryan Seacrest here. When you have a busy schedule, it's important to maximize your downtime. One of the best ways to do that is by going to chumbac casino.com. chumba Casino has all your favorite social casino games like spin slots, bingo, and solitaire that you can play for free for a chance to redeem some serious prizes. So hop on to chumbacasino.com now and live the Chumba life. Sponsored by Chumba Casino. No purchase necessary. VGW Group void. We're prohibited by law. 21 plus terms and conditions apply. Courtney had made, like. She'd brought flowers and made, like, a little corsage for me. And we get to the courthouse. She's like, I totally forgot it. I totally forgot we don't have flowers. And then one of her friends, one of our friends there, sees some fake flowers on a desk, and he just grabs it. He takes one of them off, puts it on my pocket. And then we had these, like, fake flowers. And it kind of became, like, one of the most charming aspects of it because you're just like, oh, we don't care. Like, we're fine. And then I think another huge thing to remind yourself is, as you're being stressed, it's like, okay, am I stressed about all these extraneous factors, or am I stressed? Like, but my partner and I are good, and we're. I'm not stressed about that. And I think that was occurring to me a lot where I'm like, I'm stressed about this party. I'm stressed about how things. And I'm like, oh, but I'm not stressing about being married. Not stressed about this. I'm like, oh, then we're good.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's about you guys. And also, I will say, for me, I had, like, a little tribe who was a part of the wedding. Whether it wasn't. It was like, my close people. I would rely on them to vent this Out, I would be like, I need to vent. And also, two days before, I told my whole family, if anything goes wrong in the day, I don't wanna know. Don't tell me. Yeah, don't tell me. Yeah. But everything's gonna be okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

You are gonna have the best day. I know it feels bad to feel like you're stressed and you don't wanna be. These two months will be a little crazy. Yeah. Just put your heart into the things that really make you excited and just put your time on that. And then when you're done, shut it down. Yep. Go to sleep. Yes. Go to sleep. Shut that shit down. And if you wake up at 2am and order bubbles for the ceremony, do it. That's okay.

[Ryan Higa]

That's the best advice.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you, guys. Yes. You're welcome to talk about it. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you. I didn't do that.

[Ryan Higa]

2:00Am you're like, oh.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

It was the best decision ever. All the pictures has bubbles.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Our next client, a returning client.

[Amanda Barnes]

Returning client. Oh, look at us. We're doing well.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Oh, they. They like.

[Amanda Barnes]

They like us there. Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

All right. Andre.

[Amanda Barnes]

Andre. Cool shirt yet again.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you. Badass. You guys did so well last time I came back.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm so glad. I was like, did we help at all?

[Ryan Higa]

How. How are you? I'm doing good. So basically my problem is I've been, like, historically introverted my whole life.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

It seemed like both of you saying yeah to that is. No, I'm saying I said yeah. Cause I relate. Cause I'm like, yeah, well, yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Cause yeah, okay. Dungeons and Dragons happens inside.

[Ryan Higa]

No. So, like, most weekends I would, like, play video games, watch movies, bake.

[Amanda Barnes]

Now he's baking.

[Ryan Higa]

Whoa.

[Amanda Barnes]

I gave him a sourdough culture.

[Ryan Higa]

Nice. And then, like, when it would. I'm trying to, like, get out of that introverted phase. Like, I'm trying to, like, go out and do more stuff. But, like, because I was so introverted, I don't know, like, what to do out there. So I need your guys, like, recommendation from, like, Chronically Offline Queen and shane top from iCarly. I need you guys to, like, what, like, in LA. What are some, like, really good recommendations?

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, first of all, I just heard about a chess club. I don't know if you like chess.

[Ryan Higa]

I've. I played chess with. With my family back in the day, but I haven't played in a long time.

[Amanda Barnes]

There's a chess club in K town. I just heard about that also. I don't know if that's something that excites you. The first thing that came to my.

[Ryan Higa]

Mind, I'll play chess with random people in K town. I sure. Like, that's the most like extroverted thing you could do is just show up.

[Amanda Barnes]

Very extroverted.

[Ryan Higa]

Hello.

[Amanda Barnes]

Also, what about like just kind of testing it out. Maybe like a Saturday morning farmers market. Ooh. Like, oh, but okay, I guess chess club was a no and farmer's market.

[Ryan Higa]

Is a. Yeah, I just, I love a farmer. No, that's.

[Amanda Barnes]

I know, me too.

[Ryan Higa]

That's the most like middle aged you could do is like go to like a farmer. Like, and I'm a veteran. Yeah. So like, but like, like where, like what Farmer's market? Like, oh, there's, there's tons of good.

[Amanda Barnes]

There's tons.

[Ryan Higa]

There's tons. There's great.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

But also I feel like you're talking about. I, I, you're introverted. But you know, you host a D and D session here at Smosh, which is a very, very extra. I think D and D is a very extroverted thing. I feel like people get together and they play magic the gathering. Like, I don't feel like you have to go outside of your interests to be extroverted. It's just like doing it with people. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

I want to meet new people.

[Ryan Higa]

I want to meet new people. I want meet new people and do new things.

[Amanda Barnes]

Ah, got it. Okay, okay, okay.

[Ryan Higa]

I do think meeting new people is really hard.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, I think meeting new people. But I feel like there are things to do. Like I feel like in, especially in la, there's like open mics, there's like comedy shows, there's music shows. There's so many frickin things to do.

[Ryan Higa]

Give me, how about like places to eat? Give me like one good place, like really good place that you recommend to people in LA. Oh, like restaurants?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, just like 2 Madre just opened up and it feels like a very fun environment. Okay, see this is what I'm looking for.

[Ryan Higa]

Like literal names, restaurants. Like I want to like google these names and go there. That's something I feel like when you live in California, you can take advantage of. There's so much good food. I mean just so much, so much. And you can just invite people to go to dinner. Yeah, that's just an easy thing to do. It's not hard to get people to want to do that. Right? Yes.

[Amanda Barnes]

I also feel like arts district downtown, there's a lot of like places that you can walk to. There's an arts district there's so much to do. Like, you go there on a Saturday and you just plant, like, right by the sausage place, and you just walk around and.

[Ryan Higa]

Sausage place.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, yeah. What is the.

[Ryan Higa]

That's, like, one of my favorite foods is sausage.

[Amanda Barnes]

I think I'm gonna actually have to write you a list.

[Ryan Higa]

No, actually, Amanda and probably Ian can give you a list of just incredible restaurants.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, I'll write you a list. Because there's an amazing sausage place with amazing German beers. And when you start there, you can just walk around.

[Ryan Higa]

Holy. If you like. Listen, if you like sausage and Germans, let me throw. One thing I really like is Red Lion Tavern. Oh, I love Red Line. Yeah. The sausage there is incredible.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's amazing.

[Ryan Higa]

Beer is great.

[Amanda Barnes]

The beer is great. That's also.

[Ryan Higa]

The beer is really good spot. Yeah, that's, like, one of the good spots I found. And I'm like, I need more of those, because I went there and I'm like, oh, that spot rocks.

[Amanda Barnes]

Got it. I'm going to write some things down because especially if you're going to, like, maybe the soccer game is on. Like, I don't know if you care about soccer or anything like that, but, like, you could just go and have chats with people. Also, there's places that do trivia night. Like, hardcore trivia night. I don't know if you care about that.

[Ryan Higa]

I think getting a trivia team together at Smosh would be a really cool thing. We just won for Amanda Barnes birthday.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

We went to a bar nearby and we played and we won. I'm not too surprised. I've thought about that a lot. I'm like, this office could assemble an indestructive team. Oh, yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

But you would go. We would go, and you would sit so far away from us, meeting new friends, and we would just be.

[Ryan Higa]

What trivia do you know? Let me get information from you. You sit in the corner with a hood and a pipe like Aragorn, and someone's gonna approach. That's how you meet people. It's canon, dude.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm gonna write you a list. Yes, please. Done and done.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you. Thank you, guys.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you for coming back.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, I'll come back one more time.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, my. If they allow me. God. Thank you, Andre.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you, guys. Andre, there's so much good food.

[Amanda Barnes]

So good. I still love that.

[Ryan Higa]

I still need to. I need to get. I need to eat Ethiopian food. That's.

[Amanda Barnes]

We should go to little Ethiopia.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

There's like an Ethiopia. There's a whole street I love.

[Ryan Higa]

What if you were Just like, we should go to Ethiopia.

[Amanda Barnes]

We should go to Ethiopia. I have a friend there. Just kidding.

[Ryan Higa]

All right, our next client. Another returning client. Oh, actually, no. Sorry.

[Amanda Barnes]

No, no, no. There was. There was. There was stuff about him in the last one.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

He's just coming in.

[Ryan Higa]

Just walking on in. Peter.

[Amanda Barnes]

Guys, this is Peter. I can't even give you a job description because I feel like he does everything. Anytime we need him in a video, he's there.

[Ryan Higa]

Y.

[Amanda Barnes]

He's incredible. He works for Social, and he's back. Well, he's not back. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm here to talk about how I got my ass handed to me by the local Harley Davidson bikers club the other month. I don't know how much you guys paid them, but I was unloading groceries, and they smacked my tubs of novelty yogurt all over the pavement. Splattered all over the place. And all for the sake of getting me to stop bullying Josh Fleury here at work. This isn't an advice column. Kind of. This is a column.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, we're Sex in the City.

[Ryan Higa]

We're Carrie Bradshaw's. I think we have different ideas of advice because advice is like helping that person, you know, figure out fight their own battles. Yeah. Yeah, you kind of fought the battle for it. Did I. Did we say that we were gonna.

[Amanda Barnes]

Get the Harley Davidson?

[Ryan Higa]

You did. Yep. We did say we would go to local Harley Davidson and get them. Yeah, we're gonna go to the local Harley Davidson and enlist the help of a biker gang. The evidence is there.

[Amanda Barnes]

Y.

[Ryan Higa]

And so my problem today is I want to help Josh figure out how to fend for himself. Because you neglected to help him do that.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. It was our first time. We were taken aback.

[Ryan Higa]

You're so right. You know what, Peter? You're right. I'm sorry. You know, we thought of a quick fix.

[Amanda Barnes]

It was a quick fix, which was.

[Ryan Higa]

To go to the Harley Davidson and splatter my novelty yogurts all over the pavement.

[Amanda Barnes]

Those sound really expensive.

[Ryan Higa]

Are they the ones grape and watermelon flavor of yogurt? Yep. That's psychotic rape flavored yogurt.

[Amanda Barnes]

Nobody to a grocery run.

[Ryan Higa]

What? Where do you get this yogurt? At Kroger out in San Bernardino. Kroger does not have novelty yogurt.

[Amanda Barnes]

Where are you from and where do you live? What's happening here?

[Ryan Higa]

What's your Social Security number? Let's go back to Josh because I'm worried about him. Yeah. Next time he comes up to me and asks, who can I send TikTok pictures to for social. And I respond your mom. What's he supposed to do? He doesn't have the tools to help himself. Next time he's. So you.

[Amanda Barnes]

You want to keep bullying him, but you want him to have the tools to stand up to you?

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, I'd like a fair fight. I want people to. You know, I want people to have their best interests at the forefront of their mind. I want them to fight for themselves, to stand up and. Okay, are you kind of saying. Have you been bullying Josh, like, in the hopes that it'll improve his. Like you want.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're trying to make him confident?

[Ryan Higa]

Are you trying to make him tougher? That's all I want for people is to just, you know, you care about. Yeah. Improve their quality of life.

[Amanda Barnes]

Sweet.

[Ryan Higa]

I guess next time he's in the lunch line and I come up and say, look at Josh. Floozy, building up to be a growing boy, stacking his plate full. What's he supposed to do? How's he supposed to respond to that if you didn't give him any kind of comebacks? You're right.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're so right. I guess we. We went on the route of violence. I'm so sorry.

[Ryan Higa]

Yep. Violence begets violence. And I thought both of you probably knew better than that, but you're right. Here I am, a month out from being. Being smacked around like a little schoolboy.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, seems like you deserve that.

[Ryan Higa]

I did take some paid time off after that.

[Amanda Barnes]

Whoa, you took some PTO for that?

[Ryan Higa]

Yep. Not even 60.

[Amanda Barnes]

It seems like you're doing just fine.

[Ryan Higa]

You know, Josh isn't, though. You're right. That's what I'm here for. It's Josh who's actually hurting in this situation. Right. A thought that comes to my mind, something that could toughen him up is we could go to the local Harley Davidson and send the biker gangs to Josh. They could start beating him up, and then. That's a. That's a tough opponent. He's gonna have to get tougher. Whoa. So if he can handle Harley Davidson Cruise, then he could handle Peter Shane.

[Amanda Barnes]

I think you've been overshadowed by Pete's way of living.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

You're gonna get some grape yogurt as well. I would say that Josh needs to stand up to you verbally.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay. I like that.

[Amanda Barnes]

You know what I'm saying?

[Ryan Higa]

When he asked me, like, who took my mugs? Because he's been missing mugs. Right. And you're just stealing, so I'm not doing that. Let's not put that someone else is doing. Someone else is doing it. It's kind of coincidental. It's a beautiful coincidence as I like to call it. But next time he comes up and asks and I say your mom again. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

And he should say your dad.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, your dad. Something like that one up me. Right. In a meaningful sense. Okay. Okay. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. So you want us to tell him this?

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, I'm sure he's gonna come on to the next. I'm sure. Around solving whatever you do here. I'm not sure. You don't even know what you're doing here.

[Amanda Barnes]

No, no.

[Ryan Higa]

I think I know.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. We're out of our.

[Ryan Higa]

Started off by being told I was old and weak, so not a great. Hey, I relate to Josh right now.

[Amanda Barnes]

I didn't know that that was about you. I was just.

[Ryan Higa]

Josh could also carry his ax with him. His. His guitar. That's true. And he could shred, you know, if. If you dissed him and then he shredded back at you. Yeah. What are you gonna say it over my head? Yeah. All over the place.

[Amanda Barnes]

Not violence. With violence.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. But sometimes it's called for when you have a yo mama joke book. Oh, and then he could read through that and he could throw some of those.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, that would be awesome.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Yeah, that'll work.

[Amanda Barnes]

I do want to apologize for the motorcycles.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry about the Harley Davidson.

[Amanda Barnes]

Go back and get your yogurt.

[Ryan Higa]

It was just uncalled for, but. Yeah, I mean, it was splattered all over the pavement, so I did have to go back to the Kroger. It's a two hour drive. Drive and. But I reload. Two hour drive to a Kroger. Yes.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, I feel like we should dig into that next time that you're driving two hours to get yogurt.

[Ryan Higa]

Just glad Josh has the right people on his side now. Finally.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, we got him, buddy. You don't need to worry about.

[Ryan Higa]

That's one's for you, Josh.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thanks. Thanks so much, Pete. I learned a lot.

[Ryan Higa]

You know, the benefit of this whole situation is it did unite all the biker gangs of California for the first time ever. So.

[Amanda Barnes]

It was sick.

[Ryan Higa]

They were united in smashing his yogurt on the ground.

[Amanda Barnes]

And they all watch bike riders in film in the movie.

[Ryan Higa]

That's how Sons of Anarchy ends with them in a parking lot screening.

[Amanda Barnes]

I know, I saw that.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

It was such a crazy ending.

[Ryan Higa]

I know. It's unexpected.

[Amanda Barnes]

Came out years ago. Probably before Peter was born.

[Ryan Higa]

Anyways, we'll figure that out.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay, awesome. We're Killing it. Our next client, Ms. Amanda Barnes.

[Ryan Higa]

Amanda. Two Amandas.

[Amanda Barnes]

Two Amanda's.

[Ryan Higa]

Too. Too nice.

[Amanda Barnes]

Too nice. How's this? How's sound? All right. Great. So good. All right, thanks, guys. Thank you for having me here.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Hi.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's nice to be here. So I have a problem.

[Ryan Higa]

It's not as dramatic as your last guest.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm sorry.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, that was pretty insane.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's. Take some time for me to shake that one. Well, hopefully this one's easier, but I am struggling, so I do need some help. Got it. I am very organized at work.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm very scheduled.

[Amanda Barnes]

I have to be. I'm kind of a mess at home.

[Ryan Higa]

I am not as organized at home.

[Amanda Barnes]

I see that.

[Ryan Higa]

Feel like my schedule's all over the.

[Amanda Barnes]

Place, and so I'm hoping you can help me apply some of the skills that I have at work to my home life to be a little less chaotic at work. Do you have a big calendar that you can see that you can write on and erase? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm making one in the hallway. It's like a corkboard. I live and die by my Google.

[Ryan Higa]

Calendar in both places. But the things like meal prep or.

[Amanda Barnes]

Whatever, it's like, oh, my God, the spinach is gonna go bad. And that's. And then I end up meal prepping.

[Ryan Higa]

At, like, 11:00pm yeah. Do you think you're just. In life, you prioritize work over your personal life?

[Amanda Barnes]

It's like. She's like, we're not touching that.

[Ryan Higa]

All right, thanks for having me. We're not touching.

[Amanda Barnes]

She's like, and I will get in my car and drive away. Yes, Shane, I do.

[Ryan Higa]

I do think that I relate.

[Amanda Barnes]

If you asked almost anybody else that.

[Ryan Higa]

Knows me in my personal life, they'd.

[Amanda Barnes]

Probably agree with you. That's. Why Is that you a. You probably have less time at home.

[Ryan Higa]

That's true.

[Amanda Barnes]

Because you're here a lot more. You have more time to organize. And here is structured at home. It's not structured right. So you don't have the actual, like, oh, this is my lunchtime. This is my dinner time. This is when I'm gonna organize. What if on Sunday, you structured a couple hours and you kind of went over your week with yourself and kind of chose a couple days that you were gonna meal prep, or I don't know what the mess is in your place or, like, if it's clothes or physical mess as well, or is it just mess?

[Ryan Higa]

It's just.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's just every. It's just mess all over the place. What if you took. What if you took two. What if you took, like, an hour or two before the week started so that you could actually be like, oh, my home is just as important as my office.

[Ryan Higa]

Do you have, like, a. Do you have, like, a space, like a desk or something, like an office space in your home?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yes. Is it filled with stuff?

[Ryan Higa]

Sometimes.

[Amanda Barnes]

Do you put stuff on it? Sometimes. Every about once a month, I go through, and I, like, clean everything up and blank because it gets too messy and I can't think, you know? I guess for me, it's like, if I don't.

[Ryan Higa]

If I'm not organized here, I'll get fired.

[Amanda Barnes]

But no one's gonna fire me at home. Home, yes, they will.

[Ryan Higa]

That's harder.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yourself will fire you. All right, I think. I think. I think she needs, like, author, like, authority at her home. I think you need your own authority for yourself.

[Ryan Higa]

Set, like, boundaries for yourself.

[Amanda Barnes]

With myself.

[Ryan Higa]

Set my own boundaries.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

All right.

[Amanda Barnes]

Put myself on a discipline disciplinary plan.

[Ryan Higa]

You could just probably set a reminder thing, like, okay, maybe if it's just on Sunday, it's like, all right, at, you know, whatever time on Sunday for this hour, I'm gonna, like. I sit down and I get everything organized for the week. I figure out what my time looks like every day, figure out how much time I'm gonna have outside of work on those days, what do I need to get done. And then you kind of like, structure that out.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

And then, you know what's kind of refreshing about that is once you figure out all the stuff you need to get done, then you get to see really, what your free time is.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

And then you get free time.

[Amanda Barnes]

Amanda, I think you're like me, where.

[Ryan Higa]

You don't end up with free time because you're disorganized. Because I'm. I'm horrendously disorganized here and at home.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

And what happens is then I'm always thinking about what I need to get done, and then I never relax.

[Amanda Barnes]

I get paralysis.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. And I have two nights, so bad hobbies.

[Amanda Barnes]

So if there's ever a free second, I'm like, now's my chance to go do this thing, that thing. That's perfect. You need to Google Calendar, schedule free time. Time.

[Ryan Higa]

I think that's the solution.

[Amanda Barnes]

You need to put in your Google Calendar from 7 to 9 is free time. Yeah, I think you're exactly right.

[Ryan Higa]

If you're. If you're like me, too, with analysis paralysis, you need to do the whole, like, eat the frog thing, which is just like, whatever's, like, your biggest thing you got to get done that day. Try to get frog warning. Like, first thing, like, you wake up, you're like, I'm taking care of this thing.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Like, for me, it's like, oh, I have, like, a tax thing I got to take care of. I gotta write this thing. Like, I wake up and I'm like, you just get it done. Because then once you're done with that, you have that refreshing thing, you feel accomplished, and it kind of motivates you for the rest of the day.

[Amanda Barnes]

I agree. But schedule it. Put. If you live in Daiba or Google Calendar, schedule it just. Right. Eat frog. Yes, eat the frog. And don't put anything on your desk. Okay. That's good advice. When I put things on my desk, I go, well, I can't do the thing I needed to do because look at this mail.

[Ryan Higa]

Protect that space. Make that space for a thing, and only do that thing there.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Because when you start to mix it up, then your brain kind of.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yes. You won't regret the work days that you miss. You'll regret the days that you didn't do the thing you wanted to do. I quit. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. That's great. Thank you both very much. We appreciate it. You got, like, 25 minutes left on your clock. Thank you. Thanks, Amanda.

[Ryan Higa]

Look.

[Amanda Barnes]

Already on it. She's already on it. That's legit, though.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, dude, I'm so disorganized.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's. See, I wouldn't think that about you.

[Ryan Higa]

Mentally, I'm so. I'm super forgetful and super disorganized. Whoa. Who causes all my problems in my life?

[Amanda Barnes]

You're ruining my perception of you.

[Ryan Higa]

Anyways, next client. Vita.

[Amanda Barnes]

Vita.

[Ryan Higa]

Hello, Vita.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you for having me. Hi, Vida. Excellent T shirt.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, thank you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Purple Rain forever.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you.

[Amanda Barnes]

What's going on?

[Ryan Higa]

Well, I need your advice. Okay, so I edit a lot of the Reddits. Yeah. Yes. And a common thing is shitty guys who don't realize that they're being shitty.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. And I'm on a bit of a gender journey.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm presenting masculine.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm taking. Taking testosterone. And so I'm wondering, what's the secret.

[Ryan Higa]

To not be a shitty guy?

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, Vita, you're not a shitty guy. Yeah, I think it's, like, there for a while.

[Ryan Higa]

I think a lot of it's societal. I don't think it's like, oh, this is in the testosterone in the body. Like a demon that's yes. Well, probably. Maybe some. I mean, yeah, I think it's very societal. I think we benefit. I think a lot of it comes from men who are only around men and they only listen to men and, you know, they're only watching podcasts or things with men telling them how to be a man, treat women, and treat other people. So I should stop doing that?

[Amanda Barnes]

No. Are you watching? Are you listening to a lot of that?

[Ryan Higa]

I don't know. Gotta stop listening to Joe Rogan. Dang it. But I feel like. I don't know, I thought. I think about this a lot because, you know, that stuff does come up on my feed sometimes, and I'm just like, man, so many men are just surrounded by this. And especially nowadays, there's so many grifters pushing that movement. I just don't think that's ever gonna happen to you because of who you're surrounded by.

[Amanda Barnes]

Also because of who you innately are. I understand that you're taking testosterone and it feels like that's going. Cause I do think that that changes things, obviously. But I think. I feel like it's just like a moment where you check in with yourself and remind yourself, like, ah. I feel like we all have responses, instincts that we react to, that we respond to. Like someone driving by being like, nice boobs. Like, it happens. Yeah, okay.

[Ryan Higa]

I know, and I hate it.

[Amanda Barnes]

It fucking happens. But maybe take that extra moment to go, those are nice boobs. But I'm not gonna yell at the window and say that.

[Ryan Higa]

I'll say it quietly to myself. It turns out the person here with toxic masculinity is a man.

[Amanda Barnes]

What can I say? I'm from Boston. Listen, people are beautiful, but you don't like. Yelling at them on the street is terrible. That's when I think about very toxic men. I think about that. So I just think as human beings, we have these instincts. I don't know. It's like coming from a deeper place. I think just check in with yourself.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

And also hang out with. Hang out with good people.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay. I think by the sheer nature of asking the question, you are already not.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, great.

[Ryan Higa]

I think so many men are taught, like, you can never be unsure. You can never be. You can never ask for help. You have to be certain all the time. So they get led so astray and they refuse to doubt, ask the question or be like, oh, should I, you know, look internally? Exactly. No. No self reflection. No self reflection allowed.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

In so many of those spaces. It's. Yeah, it's sad. But I would Be shocked if you ever became anything like that. I think for a lot of these dudes, it is, it takes, it's like decades of creating, like, how are you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Feeling right now as you're going through this transition? Oh, I feel great. Oh, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, good. It's just, it's, I think, really being.

[Ryan Higa]

In the slog with Reddit stories.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

I don't think this is Reddit stories. This isn't testosterone. This is the Reddit falling through your veins.

[Amanda Barnes]

I think the more you edit a lot of Reddit stories and I can feel how that's like, whoa. Remember, that's just a separate thing. Yeah, you're not, that's not you.

[Ryan Higa]

Reddit is. We're reading the most insane stories. This is not normal. How do you walk out of a full day of Reddit normal? I think I'm very, I think very good at compartmentalizing. And also, also, like, it's, you know, I'm like, this is a real thing that happens to real people, even if the story is fake. I'm like, I know these things happen to people, but I'm like, this is also, you know, I'm reading a story and I, a part of me does try to treat it as like a hypothetical because then it's, then it's not as intense on you.

[Amanda Barnes]

You also verbally process it where I feel like if you internalize that, it just gets deeper and deeper. Whereas like Shane, when he's reading these stories, he's verbally processing it with people on the couch. And also Shane is very self reflective. He's always asking himself the question, which I feel like is separates. Because when you don't ask yourself the question, you're kind of like, yeah, that's true. That's me. I'm that person.

[Ryan Higa]

I should speak out loud when I'm editing. Yeah, well, I mean, think about. But I also take the moment after all these Reddit stories and I go, man, I'm so grateful for who I have in my life because some people really are in shitty situations. But what's also great is these people are presenting their stories and getting out of those situations. So I think there's often optimism in.

[Amanda Barnes]

A lot of stories. I feel optimistic. I'm so glad. Vita, thank you. Thank you for coming on.

[Ryan Higa]

Of course.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you. Anytime. Doing well with our clients.

[Ryan Higa]

That was, that was, that felt like the best one out of all of them.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, it felt like we actually were.

[Ryan Higa]

Like, I felt like that one felt good.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, the Pete one, I feel like we gave Excellent advice.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, yeah, that one was solid.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm still stunned that there's grape yogurt.

[Ryan Higa]

I know. Out of everything that happened, that's what I don't believe.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

All right, our next client, Marcus. Marcus is here.

[Amanda Barnes]

[Ryan Higa]

Round two of Marcus returning client. Yes. How's snoring? Oh, thank you. Lisa says G. You're familiar the collab I just rented?

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

How's the snoring going? Cuz that was what you were here.

[Amanda Barnes]

And the fart.

[Ryan Higa]

And the single fart. Yeah. Really quick. Shane, you destroyed the FBI fitness competition, so I don't know why you got. No, but my cardio is actually bad.

[Amanda Barnes]

That was really sweet, but you were great.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Thank you. You are very physically fit. Thank you.

[Ryan Higa]

And just because you're not the fastest runner in the world, I don't know.

[Amanda Barnes]

Doesn't mean anything.

[Ryan Higa]

Doesn't mean anything.

[Amanda Barnes]

Come on.

[Ryan Higa]

Doesn't mean anything. No. I watched it back and I was like, my gait is crazy. Like, what am I doing? But yes, thank you both for asking and thank you both for the advice. I'm happy to report that the snoring has stopped.

[Amanda Barnes]

Wow.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I figured out it was due to seasonal allergies. Yes. So we got a little, like, filtered air fan for the window for the bedroom.

[Amanda Barnes]

Nice.

[Ryan Higa]

Cleared the whole thing up. Dude. They've been. They've been gnarly, happy.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Allergies.

[Amanda Barnes]

I had an inhaler.

[Ryan Higa]

I feel like they're killing people.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's terrible.

[Ryan Higa]

It's been really bad, but yeah. All right, well, that's great. In our bedroom now.

[Amanda Barnes]

And it feels so glad. No more sn your farts.

[Ryan Higa]

I was ready to get a pregnancy pillow. I almost went and got one.

[Amanda Barnes]

You should. Yeah. Did really good for you.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. So what?

[Amanda Barnes]

A pregnancy pillow. It looks like a snake, and you basically, like, wrap your whole body around it and put the pillow in between your knees so it helps your lower back.

[Ryan Higa]

That was the advice last time from.

[Amanda Barnes]

Do you want a pregnancy pillow?

[Ryan Higa]

Sure.

[Amanda Barnes]

God, that's awesome. It's all ghetto. All right. He just has this huge pregnancy pillow. Talking to him, he's like, okay, so.

[Ryan Higa]

What brings you back here? So I do have another problem that I was hoping to get your help with.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

This is a true story, true fact here about myself. My toe hair keeps scaring me. I Can explain. I can explain myself. So this happened to me one morning recently. I was hanging out, enjoying my morning.

[Amanda Barnes]

I get it.

[Ryan Higa]

And I put my feet up on the couch to recline and relax, and I saw a spider on my toe. So I. I panicked. And I was like, oh, my God. And I jumped up and I was smacking my toe, and I was flailing around.

[Amanda Barnes]

Cause that was like.

[Ryan Higa]

That's, like my worst fear. And I was like, okay, where is a spider? I'm gonna smash the spider. And then I realized the spider was just my toe hair.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, my God.

[Ryan Higa]

It's gotten a little scraggly, a little long.

[Amanda Barnes]

Are you Italian?

[Ryan Higa]

I am Italian.

[Amanda Barnes]

Got it.

[Ryan Higa]

I am. Yes. I'm a quarter Italian. Quarter Italian. So I'm not understood.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm Portuguese. I get it.

[Ryan Higa]

See, I'm a hair.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Not ashamed of that.

[Amanda Barnes]

But your hair's getting wild.

[Ryan Higa]

It's getting crazy on your toe.

[Amanda Barnes]

You thought it was a spider?

[Ryan Higa]

Specifically my toes.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay, well, that's.

[Ryan Higa]

Other toes.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, yeah. Other toes are fine. They barely grow hair. The big toe. Whoa.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Damn, that's legit. Because I have been scared by something that I thought was a spider, but it was never my toe hair. It was always just like.

[Ryan Higa]

I don't know, something other thing. This makes me think about several times growing up in Arizona. It happened on two occasions where I looked down and there was a scorpion on my foot. That happened twice.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay, well, that's F'd up.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. One time I was in the shower and I looked down, there was a little baby scorpion on my toe in the shower, and I, like, flicked it off. And then the other time was, my mom and I were driving from Arizona to la. Like to move out here, and we were in la. We've driven six hours, and I'm taking some soda up to my apartment, and I'm wearing flip flops. And I get up to my apartment, and as soon as I'm up there, I look down and there is a full scorpion on my foot. And I flicked that off and I was like, oh, it rode along with us.

[Amanda Barnes]

Are you in the mummy?

[Ryan Higa]

Anyways, this is awful.

[Amanda Barnes]

Anyways, have you thought about. Yeah, go ahead.

[Ryan Higa]

You could shave your.

[Amanda Barnes]

I was gonna say shave it.

[Ryan Higa]

You could do that.

[Amanda Barnes]

You could do a little wax, which. Ouch.

[Ryan Higa]

Ow. That would hurt. You could also get a real spider and just set it on your toe and look at what it would actually look like.

[Amanda Barnes]

Absolutely.

[Ryan Higa]

And then kind of use that as a frame of reference of like, maybe it wouldn't be the same Scared of spiders.

[Amanda Barnes]

Right. And he's gonna have nightmares.

[Ryan Higa]

But psychologically, like, I could just be like, okay, not a spider. I. I know the difference now.

[Amanda Barnes]

True.

[Ryan Higa]

Exactly.

[Amanda Barnes]

Or just shave.

[Ryan Higa]

You know, could just shave it off.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, you could just shave it off.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Have you ever shaved your toe hair?

[Ryan Higa]

I've trimmed it before. Okay. But it comes back just to scrag. Well, honey, it sure will keep coming back.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's like, if you wax it, it might not come back. Is scraggly. Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Wax. I haven't waxed yet. Wax. I might have those. Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay. Yeah, get a little home one.

[Ryan Higa]

Yikes. Well, do a home home toe.

[Amanda Barnes]

Italian wax. Just on your front toe. You put the wax on. You put the little thing on. You wait two seconds, then you.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay, all right. That sounds good to me. Okay, I'm gonna do it. That's.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's what I would do. Because you can't be scaring yourself when you're relaxing.

[Ryan Higa]

No, no, no. Or just wear socks all the time.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's a bummer. That is a bummer.

[Ryan Higa]

Socks, Maybe like, little toe socks.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, little socks for your toes. Yeah. Okay, great.

[Ryan Higa]

Well, I'm gonna go home and wax, and I'm gonna report back. Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

We're sending people to their death right now.

[Ryan Higa]

Thank you both. Thank you. Man at the end. Marcus, good luck. Thank you. That is so funny. I can't relate.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, I know.

[Ryan Higa]

Cause I've got my blond hairs all over my body.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. I have dark Portuguese hair. I pull it up, it's like, oh, my God. I pulled up. You're just like, whoa. Put your sleeve down. You need to put that sleeve down.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, man. Our next client, Matt Duran Duran. Back again.

[Amanda Barnes]

Last one. This is our last client. He's back again.

[Ryan Higa]

Yes.

[Amanda Barnes]

I remember when he sat on your lap.

[Ryan Higa]

Yes.

[Amanda Barnes]

Huge moment for me.

[Ryan Higa]

I know.

[Amanda Barnes]

That was. That was a real moment.

[Ryan Higa]

Huge moment for us. I. I think so.

[Amanda Barnes]

Huge moment for. I've known everybody, and it's like, you know, about time.

[Ryan Higa]

I know. I know. Anyway, update, update, update. What?

[Amanda Barnes]

I don't know. I don't know if there can be an update with your last thing, but. Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Dad's still dead. Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay. Yeah. You know, I don't know what I was expecting.

[Amanda Barnes]

I knew he was gonna say that.

[Ryan Higa]

There is a part of me that's like, hey, who knows in this world, Dad's still dead? Okay, but update, update, update. He is missing.

[Amanda Barnes]

No.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. So after the episode, you know, it.

[Amanda Barnes]

Was really missing him.

[Ryan Higa]

And I went to go check up on the.

[Amanda Barnes]

The cemetery website. The database and you could search your loved ones and it gives you all the information. I have the picture. I'm not lying. Stop. But in the station section, it said replot removed.

[Ryan Higa]

What?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, so I was wondering if maybe.

[Ryan Higa]

You guys had something to do with it.

[Amanda Barnes]

I don't even know your dad's first name. No, no, no, no, no. I don't know who your dad is.

[Ryan Higa]

You know my last name.

[Amanda Barnes]

I don't know what plot you guys are in. He's in. Wait.

[Ryan Higa]

Sorry. Hold on.

[Amanda Barnes]

Wait a second.

[Ryan Higa]

Plot missing. Let removed. Plot removed.

[Amanda Barnes]

Why?

[Ryan Higa]

They conj. They can just do that. I don't know much about. You're acting kind of shocked. I am shocked. I don't know much about cemeteries or.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm shocked because you said update and this really is an update.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay. Continue.

[Ryan Higa]

Still dead. So have you probably. Did you call. Did you call them or something?

[Amanda Barnes]

No, I didn't call.

[Ryan Higa]

I don't like calling people. I relate. I relate. But I would be calling them, be like, hey, it says his plot was removed. What the fuck?

[Amanda Barnes]

You haven't checked in? No, just the website.

[Ryan Higa]

So I can't really check in with.

[Amanda Barnes]

You know, him, you know. Cause he's dead. Yeah, no, I get that. Wait, so where did the plot get moved to?

[Ryan Higa]

I don't know. They just said removed. Removed.

[Amanda Barnes]

Durant, you have to check in. This feels like a check ins thing. I thought it was you guys.

[Ryan Higa]

Guys. Cuz last time you said on the next full moon you were going to bring him back.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, no. Did I say that you. You did say that. Play it back. Yeah, maybe at the full moon we can call him in. I need to stop pulling that witchy.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome. No, just dad.

[Amanda Barnes]

That would be daddy.

[Ryan Higa]

The darkest, darkest joke we've ever met.

[Amanda Barnes]

That would be so.

[Ryan Higa]

This is insane. This is like. Actually, this is a problem. This is a real. This is a actual real problem that you've come to us with. I mean, I was feeling hopeful, but now I'm.

[Amanda Barnes]

Wait, wait. Hopeful because. Because I thought it was you guys. Oh, okay. So it wasn't us.

[Ryan Higa]

Oh, no. It was not us. I think the cemetery is a piece of shit. And they removed the plot and didn't contact anyone.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. I think you should get there as soon as possible.

[Ryan Higa]

What they did. I didn't know they did this. I guess maybe. I figure I sometimes look at cemeteries. I do have this thought where I drive past cemeteries and I go, damn. Like, you'd think, like, they. They'd be full. And like, dude, like, how do they. Like, so many people die. Like, more people die every year. I'm like, how do they. Where do they put. They're just making room.

[Amanda Barnes]

I had this thought, too. I'm like, where are they going to put all. Everybody?

[Ryan Higa]

But then I'm like, okay, if they remember, if they remove them, I'm like, maybe they remove ones that are, like, 200 years old or something.

[Amanda Barnes]

Is your dad.

[Ryan Higa]

He's not 200 years old.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay, well, then it's not cool.

[Ryan Higa]

I would assume not. That feels way not cool.

[Amanda Barnes]

Did he do, like. Did he not pay rent? I don't know. I don't know.

[Ryan Higa]

He didn't pay his ghost tax.

[Amanda Barnes]

So what? So where is he? We don't know.

[Ryan Higa]

I was hoping you guys could figure that out for me. Maybe.

[Amanda Barnes]

I feel you're the advice podcast. I know this is a way out of our grass.

[Ryan Higa]

Maybe someone in the comments will know.

[Amanda Barnes]

Bring them back. Well, I apologize for.

[Ryan Higa]

We're not warlocks.

[Amanda Barnes]

You could have said that. Well, hear me out.

[Ryan Higa]

That's our bad.

[Amanda Barnes]

I think. I think. I think. I know you don't like calling, but I think you should call. Huh? Pick up the phone. It's hard. I'd rather text. I know, me too. But I don't. I don't think funeral homes have a text thing. Cemeteries. I think you should figure out where he is, because it wasn't us. And I said I would bring him back in your memories.

[Ryan Higa]

Well, maybe we could do that now. Maybe the plot was removed on the website. Maybe it was a website error. Or maybe, you know, website error.

[Amanda Barnes]

No.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

I think you have to call. And I'm gonna do my best. Best to bring him to a place that will be peaceful.

[Ryan Higa]

Well, okay. What?

[Amanda Barnes]

I don't know. I'm grasping at straws right now. I'm freaking out. I don't know.

[Ryan Higa]

This is the. I was not expecting this at all. Same. Okay, you know what do you want. Do you want us to call? We could call them and say, hey, it says this plot was removed. What?

[Amanda Barnes]

I'll give you the number to the cemetery.

[Ryan Higa]

Right. We'll do.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. You'll call and I'll stand behind you. What are you afraid of? No, it's fine. It's fine.

[Ryan Higa]

We'll call. We'll call them.

[Amanda Barnes]

Okay.

[Ryan Higa]

Thanks, dad. You got it, son.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Duran. I'm sorry I messed everything up for you. So you just promised. I promised I'd bring him back. And now you promised you'd call and find him.

[Ryan Higa]

I said I'd Call him.

[Amanda Barnes]

Make that.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm not. At least call the. The. The funeral home or whatever and be like, hey, it says this plot was removed. What's the deal? That's all.

[Amanda Barnes]

All right.

[Ryan Higa]

And they'd be like, yeah, it was. And I'll be like, where is it? Give it to me. And they'd be like, no. And I'd be like, I have a specific set of skills. I will find you.

[Amanda Barnes]

Which are.

[Ryan Higa]

Well, I'm Liam Neeson.

[Amanda Barnes]

Oh, okay. Taken five.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. Taken five.

[Amanda Barnes]

He was taken.

[Ryan Higa]

Where's my dad?

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

That's insane. No, that actually, like, pisses me off that they just did that.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah.

[Ryan Higa]

Also without.

[Amanda Barnes]

Without any notice.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. I feel like you have to let the family go.

[Amanda Barnes]

That's insane. And plotted where?

[Ryan Higa]

That's. I have so many questions.

[Amanda Barnes]

I'm gonna be up all night.

[Ryan Higa]

So many questions.

[Amanda Barnes]

I can't believe I promised I'd bring him back. I need to stop.

[Ryan Higa]

I promise to call a funeral home. You promised to bring someone's father back to his bed.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah. I need to stop doing stuff like that.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah.

[Amanda Barnes]

I get too invested, and I think I have these other powers.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, well, I'm just imagining you. Like, I'm imagining you at a funeral and you're consoling a friend who's, like, lost a loved one. You're like, I'm gonna bring it back. I'm gonna bring them back. I'm gonna bring it back.

[Amanda Barnes]

And they go, you don't need to do that.

[Ryan Higa]

You're not helping me. It's like when I go to a.

[Amanda Barnes]

Party and meet a friend. I'm like, you should come over for dinner anytime.

[Ryan Higa]

I'm like, it's a completely different thing.

[Amanda Barnes]

Well, it's kind of in the same boat.

[Ryan Higa]

At least one of them is possible. The other one breaks the rules of the universe.

[Amanda Barnes]

I need to stop doing this.

[Ryan Higa]

Okay.

[Amanda Barnes]

Wow, guys. That was us solving, you know, Cassie, some problems. And we realized these people are incredible. And we did our best, and I think we did a pretty good job.

[Ryan Higa]

I think so, too. I think. I think we handled that as best as we could. Some of these problems are a little too advanced for us.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, a little too advanced, but we did the best.

[Ryan Higa]

And Ian, he didn't, you know, came here and dissed me. I don't think he was asking for help at all.

[Amanda Barnes]

Yeah, I'm so sorry about that. I feel like we started off in such a wild place.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah. But it's all right.

[Amanda Barnes]

It's all right. I hope you guys race.

[Ryan Higa]

Anyways, in the comments, down below. You can give your advice to all of our friends and let us know.

[Amanda Barnes]

If you want us to do this again.

[Ryan Higa]

Yeah, we're always happy to.

[Amanda Barnes]

We're always happy to have clients.

[Ryan Higa]

All right.

[Amanda Barnes]

All right.

[Ryan Higa]

Goodbye.

[Amanda Barnes]

Goodbye.
