Wonderful friend.

I like you a little bit more.

[Shane]

It's crazy to be doing this podcast normally again. I feel like you haven't been here. I haven't been here. We've been doing a lot of experimenting.

[Amanda]

Pod together in a long time. But you've been here every day, even when we're not shooting.

[Tommy]

Yeah. I sit and look at the table and go, I wish they were back together one day.

[Amanda]

They will.

[Shane]

We open the door to the studio and we just see you in here in the dark by yourself. It's like.

[Tommy]

It's like I'm waiting for a shoe release or something. People outside of the store, I'm just sitting there like one day.

[Amanda]

Why do they wait? People like shoes so long.

[Tommy]

They like shoes.

[Amanda]

And there's so many security guards. So many security guards.

[Tommy]

Shoes are expensive. For fun.

[Amanda]

Come on.

[Shane]

I like shoes, but not enough.

[Tommy]

I like that shoes exist.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah.

[Tommy]

I prefer to have something underneath my feet.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And I love that people love stuff to that degree.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I don't know if I love that, but I can appreciate it.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Tommy]

That's such a non committal answer.

[Amanda]

I can appreciate it.

[Shane]

Kind of people who are into things. Cause that's the same with comic book shops in la. Yeah. Sometimes you'll see people outside waiting for the shop to open for all sorts of things. I'm assuming also maybe magic cards. Brennan, like, would that be like there's releases like that?

[Amanda]

Brennan's like, nah.

[Shane]

Brennan's like, I don't give a shit, man.

[Amanda]

Yeah. He's like, stop talking to me. I'm not here.

[Shane]

It's all online.

[Amanda]

It's all online.

[Shane]

But Brennan Will be waiting outside of the camera store when a new camera comes out.

[Tommy]

A new, old camera.

[Amanda]

A brand new old, old camera from 1976.

[Shane]

The new 1940. 40 camera, actually. That'd be sick.

[Amanda]

That's actually cool. I really appreciate that.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Sneakers. Thank you. The sneakers.

[Tommy]

I'm like, I'll do it for a Wii.

[Shane]

A Wii. Yeah, I remember a Nintendo Wii.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I know what a Wii is.

[Tommy]

Remember the Wii?

[Shane]

Remember the Wii? Did you wait outside for the Wii?

[Tommy]

No. But that happened, didn't it?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Riveting podcasting at 9am well, that probably.

[Shane]

Happened, though, for sure. Actually, what we're doing on this podcast today is we're playing Never have I.

[Amanda]

Ever, which is really fun.

[Shane]

This was a pitch from Selena. Selena was like, I want you guys to play Never have I ever. And we said, yeah.

[Amanda]

And we said, yeah. Because the last time I played Never have I Ever, I think, was in college.

[Tommy]

Wow.

[Amanda]

And it was very fun. Thank you.

[Shane]

I guess we never. We haven't really done this on Smosh.

[Amanda]

Never have we ever done this on.

[Shane]

No, we've done a lot of. Like, we used to back in the day on Smosh Pit, we'd do, like, spin the bottle type of challenge. What?

[Amanda]

Why wasn't I cast?

[Tommy]

Cause you were.

[Shane]

We cut, like, three minutes of footage there, but it was really.

[Tommy]

It was really good.

[Amanda]

Oh, it was all flagged. All flagged. So never have I ever.

[Shane]

Oh, yeah.

[Amanda]

So you guys used to play spin the bottle on Pit.

[Shane]

We did it, like, a couple times, and we do kind of challenges that you look back and it's like, that was a little cringey. We did that.

[Amanda]

Did you kiss?

[Shane]

I can't remember. I think. I think. I think that was an option. I think. I think it was an option. When it came up, we were like, we're not gonna do that. I think.

[Amanda]

So there's no kissing.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I would have switched off immediately from that channel. Bye.

[Tommy]

Never mind.

[Shane]

Yeah, never mind.

[Amanda]

Anyways.

[Shane]

But no, I don't think we ever did. Never have I ever. Because it's very podcasty. Like, it's just more conversational. Yeah. I surprised. We never even did it on show with no Name, which was like, kind of our podcast back in the day.

[Tommy]

Free form.

[Shane]

Yeah. But I definitely played a lot of Never have I Ever with friends back in the day. It was just a popular thing, hanging out. I think I won a lot because.

[Tommy]

You know, that means that you don't live a life.

[Shane]

I was lame. I was. As a teenager, I was really lame. Like, and I. You know, it's just like, anything involving. Like, anything. Anything involving anything sexual, I just, like, yeah. Oh, for sure. Oh, God damn.

[Amanda]

And people are like, I'm gonna put down two fingers for that one.

[Shane]

Oh, I've really done that. Whoa. I did that so hard that it's my whole hand down. No. It was always embarrassing as fuck. I hated it.

[Tommy]

Leo, you've lived a full life.

[Amanda]

I have.

[Shane]

I feel like.

[Tommy]

And you're finished.

[Amanda]

I have it now. I'm finished.

[Tommy]

You're all done.

[Amanda]

Go to my gravesite just fine.

[Tommy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amanda]

I'm happy it can end now.

[Tommy]

There you go.

[Amanda]

Thank you.

[Tommy]

Mm.

[Shane]

Okay, well, we have a bunch here that Selena helped make for us. I think we've all been thinking of them for the past day.

[Amanda]

Tommy, you've been thinking of them.

[Tommy]

I've been trying. It's like I've both lived a very full experience, and then there's, like, some fundamental things that, like, most people have done that I'm like, well, we didn't do that.

[Shane]

It doesn't have to be crazy. It can be, like, mundane things.

[Amanda]

I also. I came up with some that are specific to you two sitting at the table.

[Shane]

Let's begin with some of these. Okay.

[Amanda]

First, let's go over the base rules. How many fingers are we holding up? Five.

[Shane]

I think it's just five.

[Tommy]

Eleven.

[Amanda]

Eleven? You have eleven?

[Shane]

Never have I ever had eleven fingers.

[Amanda]

Well, I kept it in this place just for this game. Aww.

[Shane]

It's like Voldemort. On the back of the thumb is another finger.

[Amanda]

Ew.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Tommy]

Yummy.

[Shane]

Five. Five fingers we hold up, and then whoever is remaining, whoever has, like, a finger up last gets a point. Selena will be keeping tabs.

[Amanda]

Got it.

[Shane]

So each. Each hand is, like, a whole round kind of thing.

[Amanda]

And we win.

[Shane]

We'll play a bunch.

[Amanda]

A hot dog.

[Shane]

You're cool.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Tommy]

You're cool if you haven't done things. Yeah, that was my problem with this game.

[Shane]

No, the game.

[Tommy]

It's like, you won.

[Shane]

And they're like, no, the game is 100%.

[Amanda]

You won't. You haven't done.

[Tommy]

You shouldn't do something.

[Shane]

I love how there's so many games that exist just because as a teenager, we're afraid to just be like, hey, you want to make out? Like, Right? That's all it is.

[Amanda]

Of course. It's way more fun that way.

[Shane]

That's 100%.

[Tommy]

I know, but it's got to do a little dance.

[Shane]

Exactly. Okay.

[Tommy]

All right. Hands are.

[Shane]

Hands are up. All right, we're all going to lose on this one. Maybe I'm not. Maybe.

[Amanda]

Maybe we put our finger down. If we have done it.

[Shane]

If you have done it. All right. Never have I ever googled myself.

[Amanda]

Oh, oh, absolutely.

[Tommy]

Of course. I gotta know what's going on.

[Amanda]

Absolutely. I gotta know what's going on in my relationship because the Internet clearly knows how my marriage is going.

[Shane]

I gotta know my famous birthday.

[Amanda]

What's Your famous birthday?

[Shane]

September 14th. It's my famous birthday.

[Amanda]

They got it right.

[Tommy]

I got a text message from a friend who's also a YouTuber person and was like, sorry, your famous birthday, you're being beat by like a three year old. It was like pictures of the famous birthday and there's like this tiny little like, Rebecca. And I'm like, who's that?

[Shane]

Anyway, I'm never gonna be the most famous person born on my birthday, cuz Amy Winehouse was born on September 14th and that's. That's legendary status. So it's like, yeah, but I'm okay. That's. That's awesome.

[Amanda]

Sorry.

[Tommy]

Rebecca was born on my birthday. I don't know if you've heard of Rebecca.

[Amanda]

And we love Rebecca.

[Shane]

Oh my God, Rebecca.

[Amanda]

Rebecca's incredible. She's amazing.

[Shane]

Huge fan of Rebecca.

[Amanda]

Actually, we tried to get her for this episode and she was like, I'm too busy. And we were like, I.

[Shane]

She's busy campaigning, I'm too busy.

[Tommy]

And she's smashing a rattle on the ground. Yes. I've googled myself.

[Amanda]

Unfortunately, this position's really hard to hold your thumb in.

[Tommy]

Yeah, no, my index finger is like, ow. Can I do this?

[Amanda]

Yeah, we can do this.

[Tommy]

This feels good.

[Amanda]

This feels like a teenager when they're out with their mom and they're just like, they're like, okay. They're like, life literally sucks, but they have claws around their hand. You guys get it, right?

[Tommy]

I have a family member who is that girl?

[Amanda]

Really? It's just like, hey, Tommy, happy Thanksgiving.

[Tommy]

I'm like, hey, how you doing? And they're like, I'm gonna say there because I think that's the trajectory. And they're like, hold up.

[Shane]

No, I know, I know.

[Tommy]

I can spot one from a mile away. They're gonna be fucking awesome. They're an incredible illustrator. They're so fucking cool. But they're like, they're like, let's go out to eat. And they're like, hey, how are you doing? And they're like, it's fine. I'm like, hey, you doing good? How's school? Like, okay. Never mind.

[Amanda]

Never mind.

[Tommy]

Never mind. Yes, exactly.

[Shane]

And they're always. But I always feel bad for them because I've had them in my family in the past. They've aged out of that era, but I get it because they're surrounded by, like, people who are all 20 years older than them.

[Tommy]

Exactly.

[Shane]

Who are the most outgoing, loud people. And I'm like, you just don't want.

[Amanda]

To be like, you want a glass of wine and play some cards.

[Shane]

I just don't understand what his problem is.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And he's sitting right there just like, curse on your family.

[Shane]

Yeah. You're into. What's that cartoon called? Clarence.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

I don't know what he's into, but he likes that stuff.

[Amanda]

Why do they do that?

[Shane]

Like, just leave him alone.

[Amanda]

Yeah. He likes to stand against a wall, doesn't talk to anyone. Isn't that right, Michael?

[Tommy]

Michael's like, yeah, yeah, shut up, dad. Well, okay. Thumbs down. I got a thumb down.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

I had one that I thought of. Never have I ever had an imaginary friend.

[Amanda]

Oh, absolutely.

[Shane]

You had an imaginary friend.

[Amanda]

100%.

[Shane]

What was her name, boy?

[Tommy]

Bob. Bob. Bob.

[Amanda]

His name was Bob.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

He's a very tall. No last name.

[Tommy]

Wow.

[Amanda]

Just Bob didn't speak. But we, like, telekinetically spoke to each other.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

He's a big, tall, very thin, very long, long bear.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

But he's not, like, thick. He's, like, long and lanky, and he's goofy.

[Shane]

A long, skinny bear.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

That's terrifying. That's the most horrifying shit I've ever heard before.

[Amanda]

To my brain.

[Shane]

What did he sound like?

[Tommy]

Was he made of smoke and moved through walls and stuff?

[Amanda]

He didn't talk? No, he didn't talk. But he kept being like, I'm not even making this up.

[Tommy]

How old were you when this was? When Bob was around 17?

[Amanda]

Yeah. 34. I don't remember. A long time ago. I think I forgot about him. And then I had a therapy session or something, and then it came up, and I was like, major deja vu. And I was like, oh, my God, there's my imaginary friend that I had when I was a kid.

[Shane]

Bob the bear. Who's skinny and tall.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And he was just. He's very, very sarcastic, but, like, he didn't talk, but I knew what he.

[Shane]

Was saying, and he was a good.

[Amanda]

Guy, very sweet, very funny, and would always be like, chill out. That was always. His vibe was like, chill out. He wasn't like, are you okay? He was never like that.

[Tommy]

He was like, I Like that.

[Amanda]

You're fine. Chill out. That was his vibes.

[Shane]

We like Bob the Bear.

[Amanda]

Yeah. It was never like a princess or anything. It was a tall, skinny bear who wore no clothes, but it didn't matter.

[Shane]

Well, he was a bear.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

I feel like I had one, but I can't really remember. I used to, like, put my hands up like this and pretend it was a rabbit. Does that count?

[Shane]

No, that's not imaginary. That's your real hair.

[Tommy]

Cause that's my real hair.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Shane]

Cause like, I had like teddy bears and stuff that, like. But I'd play pretend where I'm like talking to him. But I knew it wasn't real. I'm talking like a fully.

[Tommy]

I knew it wasn't real. Look at you.

[Amanda]

I'm like.

[Shane]

But I knew it was stupid.

[Amanda]

It's real.

[Shane]

I knew it was stupid. For stupid kid.

[Amanda]

He lives in the mountains.

[Shane]

And I was a smart kid.

[Amanda]

Okay. Didn't you wish that you had wings or something when you were a kid? I did. Let's go back to that.

[Shane]

No, I was dumb too.

[Amanda]

Wouldn't you, like, think that you could be in a cocoon and that you could turn into a butterfly?

[Shane]

I did an experiment. I had a hypothesis.

[Amanda]

Correct.

[Shane]

A hypothesis is different.

[Amanda]

I discovered this on dirty. We discovered this on dirty laundry at dropout. And I was like.

[Shane]

It was very funny.

[Amanda]

Mind blown.

[Shane]

But no, I never had a full on imaginary friend like that I would talk to and like, made up.

[Amanda]

Oh, I was Bob the Bears. Interestingly, I talked to a lot of things that weren't there. My mom was like, great. She doesn't need toys or anything. She's busy. Let me go get her. She has a meeting. Did you have an imaginary friend or no.

[Tommy]

No.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy]

I was a very smart and cool kid.

[Amanda]

Okay, well, you guys can fuck off.

[Shane]

No, I had a job.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Jesus.

[Tommy]

I've got one that'll knock a finger off of both of you immediately. Whoa. Are you ready?

[Amanda]

Well, please, because I cannot handle doing this anymore.

[Tommy]

I'm about to relieve your. I'm about to relieve your hand.

[Amanda]

Thank you.

[Tommy]

Never have I ever been married.

[Amanda]

Ha ha. Oh, you're dumb. Ha ha.

[Tommy]

I'm alone.

[Amanda]

How do I put down three?

[Tommy]

Ha ha. No one loves me like that.

[Amanda]

Stop.

[Tommy]

No, I'm kidding.

[Shane]

Stop.

[Tommy]

Stop it.

[Amanda]

Stop it.

[Tommy]

Hey, honey, who I love so much. My guest is really sad and alone.

[Amanda]

It was really good. Just Tommy really brought it down hard.

[Shane]

Yeah, it's true.

[Amanda]

We are married. Wow.

[Shane]

That's pretty cool.

[Amanda]

We're both married.

[Tommy]

I was like, okay, how can I get their fingers down? And I was like hurt my back the other yesterday. So I was just like sitting, laying down with my heating pad, going married. So that's what I feel.

[Amanda]

Damn it, I'm gonna lose this round.

[Shane]

One of those days again where I completely forgot my wedding ring. I straight up. It's just in a catch all near my.

[Tommy]

Yeah, your little.

[Shane]

Like, I was running late. Okay. So I'm like.

[Amanda]

It's so funny because I haven't said anything, but you are spiraling and unraveling right now.

[Shane]

I know. I just, I just am I. No, I'm thinking about. Cause the fans are always like, where's his wedding ring? And I'm like, it's just simple. It's at home.

[Amanda]

You don't sleep with your wedding ring on.

[Shane]

No, neither do I. I don't love rings. Like, I was never a ring person. I like, I do like the look of the wedding ring.

[Tommy]

Shouldn't have gotten married then.

[Amanda]

Yeah, shouldn't have gotten married then. Kelly.

[Shane]

That was the big fuck up. No, I've been meaning to kind of put it on a necklace.

[Amanda]

You should.

[Shane]

No, like Frodo.

[Amanda]

Like Frodo. I, I. When I forget my ring, I feel it. I feel like naked and alone. Just kidding.

[Shane]

Yeah, I'm. I'm getting there. It's starting to be weird if I don't have it, but it's okay.

[Amanda]

I actually didn't notice.

[Shane]

I don't think people really now.

[Amanda]

I'm not.

[Shane]

Some of our fans notice.

[Amanda]

Fans notice.

[Tommy]

And fans at home. If he's not wearing it, there's a problem.

[Amanda]

And take that into account. It's not like in movies where you're just like. Like, if I'm in a fight with Guardian, I'm not like, this is coming off. Take it back. No, I'm like, okay, let's talk about this.

[Tommy]

Figure this out.

[Amanda]

We have to. Okay. What do I have down? Oh, cool. This is fun.

[Shane]

Do you have one, two left?

[Amanda]

I have one. Yeah, this is kind of whatever. I'm gonna do it first. I don't care.

[Tommy]

Still have four fingers left. Try and get me.

[Amanda]

Okay. Never have I ever fake laughed at one of these people at the table.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Whoa. Thinking about it. Awesome.

[Tommy]

Never have laughed.

[Amanda]

I never have fake laughed at either of you.

[Tommy]

Fake laughed.

[Amanda]

I can't say for the rest of smosh, but I'm talking about this table.

[Shane]

Specifically this table.

[Amanda]

It's okay. Just be honest.

[Tommy]

You can be honest.

[Amanda]

We've had to do try not to laugh.

[Shane]

That's What I'm thinking. I'm thinking I have to put a finger down because I feel like at some point in the hundreds of jokes we've done, I've done it because I'm like, it's. It'll be funnier in the moment if I laugh.

[Tommy]

I think. I think I have to put a finger down too.

[Amanda]

For laugh. Yeah, of course.

[Shane]

Yeah. I try not to.

[Tommy]

I also try not to.

[Shane]

I try not to. I really try not to laugh. Yeah. But there are moments where I'm like, this is really funny, but I could. I could not laugh. But I'm gonna laugh because it deserves it.

[Amanda]

This is why. This is why I brought it up, because I feel like specifically for you two, I don't know if I've fake laughed because I feel like you would both know it and see it in my eyes, and it would be.

[Tommy]

I don't know what it would.

[Amanda]

It would be harder. I don't know what it would look like.

[Tommy]

Can you try?

[Amanda]

It's like when you're watching a comedy show and you want to give them energy but you don't have enough. So it's like.

[Tommy]

Yeah, I would hate that if you would drive a.

[Amanda]

Rather you laugh. I know. So I wouldn't. So I just don't, I guess.

[Shane]

Is it fake laugh or is it that I'm making a laugh? Like, oh, I'm laughing a little bit, but I'm gonna make it more right.

[Amanda]

I think it's an actual laugh that's.

[Tommy]

Like you're pushing behind it.

[Shane]

I don't know if I've done that.

[Amanda]

See, you can push on a laugh that starts from funny.

[Tommy]

I don't think I laugh at something that isn't funny.

[Amanda]

Well, it's out of, like.

[Tommy]

No, I know what you're prompting. I'm still gonna put a finger down.

[Shane]

I'm put a finger down.

[Amanda]

Just because I put a finger down.

[Shane]

I wouldn't be able to remember.

[Amanda]

I love that.

[Shane]

I feel like maybe this will get you.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

I think this is maybe. Never have I ever spilled spaghetti on myself.

[Amanda]

Oh, 100%.

[Shane]

I've never spilled spaghetti on myself.

[Amanda]

What?

[Shane]

Not spaghetti.

[Amanda]

Are you wearing, like, a full napkin bib?

[Tommy]

No, he wouldn't have to because he hasn't spilled spaghetti on me.

[Shane]

I've spilled spaghetti on myself.

[Tommy]

He's wearing an all white outfit, actually.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Tommy]

Slurping it up.

[Shane]

I'm wearing spaghetti all the time.

[Tommy]

When did you. What made you think of spilling spaghetti?

[Amanda]

I agree.

[Shane]

Because you were in the service industry. So, like, I figured just as a.

[Tommy]

And you went to spaghetti.

[Shane]

I wanted to be specific. I wanted to see if I could get you specific.

[Tommy]

No, I love the prompt. I'm just trying to figure out spilling.

[Shane]

Food would get me. I've spilled food on my phone.

[Amanda]

I spilled food. I have not spilled spaghetti while I was working. Spaghetti's my favorite food. Spaghetti, meatballs. So I would spill it on myself all the time. But working. I never worked, like, at an Italian restaurant. I don't think I ever worked at a place that served pasta.

[Tommy]

Oh, wow.

[Shane]

Okay. My uncle has a story back, like, forever ago. He was a waiter and he was bringing a plate of, like, a couple things, but, like, spaghetti was. Was part of it. And he brings it to a table, and he's walking up to the table and he kind of loses balance and he has a choice of either the food going into the table or instead he. He just slams it into a wall. Just.

[Tommy]

Just full on. It's like, oh, my God.

[Shane]

Right into a wall. And apparently the stain was there for decades.

[Amanda]

That's awesome, Shane. This happen in person? You know how many times I've seen servers fucking break and do that? I have seen a server. Full martinis. Full martinis. Is walking and they've slammed it to the ground because it's about. Because it's about to go somewhere that they just go. It's instinct. They go. I don't want it to fall on the guest. Cause it sucks. They slammed it to the ground. And one time a server who was very clumsy to the ground and tripped on someone. Tripped on someone's jacket, fell and had a cut. Like I was gonna.

[Shane]

Everywhere, like a Final destination.

[Amanda]

Blood everywhere. And he was very clumsy and I loved him so much, but he came out and he was like, motherfucker.

[Shane]

At least he was okay.

[Amanda]

He was fine.

[Shane]

Was he all right?

[Amanda]

No, not really. I mean, he was fine, but he.

[Tommy]

Had a cut, I think.

[Amanda]

I don't think he went to the hospital, but he was covered in blood. And it was like, dude, you made it so much worse. You made it so much worse.

[Shane]

Oh, my God.

[Tommy]

He's a professional wrestler.

[Amanda]

Those guests are just sitting there being like, I've seen so much fucked up.

[Shane]

Shit in restaurants, but I've never seen a server, like, drop a tray. I've never.

[Tommy]

I don't think I have either.

[Shane]

It's actually kind of fascinating because there's so many times where I'm like, holy shit, don't drop that. But they don't. It's kind of.

[Tommy]

It's always cocktails too, where I'm like, how are you doing that?

[Amanda]

It is the funniest thing I've ever seen. When a server drops something. I mean, I've been there.

[Shane]

I'd be a horrendous waiter. I would be so bad.

[Amanda]

Yes, I think you would. Sorry. So sorry.

[Shane]

Thanks.

[Amanda]

You just. You're just, like. You're just like a big guy. Like, I feel like you need to be, like, moving through.

[Tommy]

Gotta squeeze through.

[Shane]

I bump shit so much.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

The amount of doorways that I hit with my shoulder is crazy.

[Amanda]

Yeah. So you'd be fucked from the.

[Shane]

Oh, no, I. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Amanda]

Sorry about that.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Tommy]

Okay, I'm gonna put a finger down. Cause I've probably spilled spaghetti on myself.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Nah, nah. Come on. Yeah, yeah.

[Tommy]

I'm a sloppy eater.

[Shane]

I just don't. I have no recollection of spilling spaghetti, specifically spaghetti, but I really don't think I eat spaghetti that much.

[Tommy]

Just the craziest prompt.

[Amanda]

It's the craziest prom.

[Shane]

Hey, but I got you.

[Amanda]

It's the crazy.

[Shane]

But I got you.

[Amanda]

I literally have one finger up.

[Shane]

Yeah, I think we expected that. I have two. It's close. It's a close game.

[Amanda]

Oh, that's how you guys are gonna do two fingers like this? Spaghetti number one.

[Shane]

All right, I'll switch it to that.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

All right. You guys got one?

[Amanda]

I definitely have some.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

But go ahead, Tommy.

[Tommy]

I've got another. Like, what are the. Cause, again, I went into this. Like, I'm gonna get them. Never have I ever been to Europe.

[Amanda]

Oh, I'm out.

[Shane]

I've been to Europe. All right, so Amanda's out. It's down to Tommy and I. But you can still throw ones out for. See if you can get me. I have one.

[Amanda]

That.

[Shane]

That I never have. I ever. And this is, like, romantically. This is like. Like, as a thing.

[Amanda]

This is a marriage question, I guess.

[Shane]

Never have I ever slid into someone's DMs.

[Amanda]

I'm not in this. I'm, like, thinking. I'm like, well.

[Shane]

Well, you could put a finger down.

[Tommy]

Okay. If someone slid into my DMs first.

[Shane]

No, I don't think that counts. No, you have to.

[Amanda]

You have to slide it.

[Shane]

You have to initiate it.

[Tommy]

Then I will keep my finger.

[Shane]

Holy shit. Wow. I never have. And I was like, I have not yet.

[Amanda]

I'm going to be honest. I don't think I have at all.

[Shane]

I don't do it a lot, though. That's, like, the thing now.

[Amanda]

I don't. I don't. Like. Nothing has Ever wanted me to do that. I don't know. Even if I thought they were cute, like, I don't.

[Shane]

I never.

[Tommy]

It feels weird. It feels weird to me also because we're on. We are online, and then it feels like we're using our tool to be like, hey, like, this is me, you know, Take a screenshot.

[Amanda]

Yeah. It feels aggressive in a way that I don't like. Like, I'd rather hopefully meet them in person through mutual friends and just wait for that.

[Shane]

Yeah, it's. It's also something like, I'm not the type. I'll see. You know, you'd see someone online, you'd be like. Or like on social media, like, oh, they're cute, but like, I don't know you.

[Tommy]

Right.

[Shane]

And it's just kind of weird. Like, I'm not someone who wants to initiate anything unless I kind of know more.

[Amanda]

Unless, like, we've talked at in person once.

[Shane]

Then it's not.

[Amanda]

That's not really.

[Tommy]

It's.

[Shane]

Yeah, it's. Then you're continuing a conversation.

[Amanda]

Exactly.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

That to me is fine. If you've met in person. And then I, like, appreciate it.

[Shane]

I know plenty of people who like, are just throwing messages out there to people they don't know.

[Tommy]

Oh, yeah, I. After this. And this is for members. No, we don't have that yet. I was question mark flirted with via a dm. Slide in and then slide in. And I went, oh, is this a flirt? And then I responded back with like a ha ha. Imagine if you were flirting with me. And they were like, I'm not. And I was like, oh, haha. Well, good thing I said that.

[Amanda]

Anyway, they just said, I'm not.

[Tommy]

No, no, they. It was, it was. The way in which they responded was very much like. I was like, wouldn't it be crazy if, like, you weren't flirting with me and you just, like, wanted some information? And then it was like, I do want this information.

[Shane]

I was like, oh, that sucks.

[Tommy]

But I'll show you the screenshot later. It's very much like, it's like, like, where are you going? And it's like, oh, I'm going. Like, I'm going to this bar. And it's like, okay, cool. Because I was interested in going to that bar. Like, I needed to know where that bar was, so thank you. And I was like, oh, great, Good exchange.

[Amanda]

Wait, that's actually very confusing.

[Tommy]

I'll let you watch. I literally Chance was out there yesterday and I was like, chance, I need you to look at this, like, conversation and then he was like, oh, he's flirting. And then went, oh, maybe he's not flirting. It's like, was it a bit? Anyway, that's crazy. Moving on. It's.

[Amanda]

I see. I would have been like, what. What is that bar that you're going to? I've always wanted to go there. But still, that would seem like flirting, I guess. You'll.

[Tommy]

Yeah, I'll show you. It's. Yeah. Anyway, I just don't want to be too specific in case that person watches.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Members.

[Tommy]

Which is a possibility anyway.

[Shane]

Billy. Okay.

[Tommy]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[Shane]

All right. I. It's. You can throw out one if you want.

[Tommy]

I feel like I need to pull up my list.

[Shane]

I have one. I'm gonna try it. Cause it's just down to you and I. So I'm trying to throw specific ones at you. Never have I ever seen an alligator on a golf course.

[Tommy]

Fuck you.

[Amanda]

From Florida.

[Tommy]

Golf course? You mean all of the terrain in Florida and an alligator, the only thing more populous than old people in Florida.

[Shane]

I love them. Like, Florida. I know exactly what you've seen.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Shane]

So I take the first round, then?

[Tommy]

Yes, you do.

[Shane]

I took the first round.

[Amanda]

Oh, okay.

[Shane]

So you won and knocked him out with an alligator on a golf course.

[Tommy]

Wow.

[Shane]

All right.

[Amanda]

That was specific.

[Tommy]

Congratulations.

[Shane]

I haven't lived life.

[Amanda]

Spaghetti and alligator.

[Tommy]

You're crushing an alligator on a golf course is not living life.

[Shane]

Never seen an alligator. Never spilled spaghetti on myself.

[Amanda]

Wow. Wow. You're crushing it.

[Tommy]

Winning it.

[Shane]

All right, next round, locked and loaded. All right.

[Amanda]

Okay, I have one.

[Tommy]

Go.

[Amanda]

Never have I ever said, oh, yeah, I liked that show that you recommended that you love so much. Even if I watched it and didn't like it, I never said I liked it. If I watch something that you recommend, I'm gonna say how I feel.

[Shane]

But I've never lied. I will ever. Okay. No, I've never lied about that spaghetti. I've never told a lie in my entire life.

[Amanda]

I don't know how I can't handle that.

[Shane]

I.

[Amanda]

You need to lie a lot more, buddy.

[Shane]

Hey, dude, you could get a lot further.

[Amanda]

You need to lie.

[Shane]

You're gonna do a lot better. Not. Not about that. TV shows. If I don't like a show, I might soften the blow. I might not be like, I hate it, but I'll be like, yeah, I couldn't get into it even.

[Amanda]

Like, back in the day, like, when Netflix was, like, starting to be cool, and everyone's like, oh, my God, have you seen that show? And you're like, yeah, no, I don't think I have, Tommy.

[Tommy]

I feel like I probably have.

[Amanda]

Okay. Although I've done one.

[Tommy]

Usually I will be recommended a show. One of my besties is always recommending a show. And then I watch it, and I'm like, this is possibly the most boring thing I've ever seen in my life. But I tell him that to his face. I'm like. Cause then I get to be like. And this is why the show didn't work for me. Like, this kind of choice.

[Amanda]

I love that.

[Tommy]

But I'm sure, like, at one point I've. Cause I'm a hater. I love being a hater. I'm a hater. I'm a big old hater. Shout out to my haters. My fellow haters. And when it's like, we all love this show, then I'm like, okay. And then I watch it, and I'm like, whatever. But then if someone's, like, gunned to my head, like, and how'd you feel about the show? And I'm like, it's great. So I'm a coward. Hater. Shout out to my cowards.

[Shane]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amanda]

Shout out to my coward haters. Love you.

[Tommy]

My ex was right. I am a coward.

[Amanda]

Stop it.

[Tommy]

I'm kidding. Okay.

[Shane]

Holy shit.

[Tommy]

I definitely have.

[Amanda]

Okay, so at least I got one.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I find it very hard, though, because I will say, like, when people recommend the same thing to me. Like, my sister is dying for me to see this movie. Palm Springs. It's an older.

[Shane]

Oh, it's awesome. That's older.

[Amanda]

Well, it's like five years older.

[Shane]

It's like. I feel like it's like, yeah, Palm Springs.

[Amanda]

That's the Andy Samberg.

[Tommy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amanda]

So he's.

[Shane]

So I guess it did come out. Yeah.

[Amanda]

She's all. She's like, it's my favorite movie. And for some reason, the more she says it's her favorite and I need to watch it, the more I don't want to watch it.

[Tommy]

It's because the pressure. The pressure. Now you have the societal pressure of someone you love saying, this is the most important thing to me. And you're like, okay. That means I need to be at a specific mindset where I lock myself in and tune into this movie and give it all of my attention. And then it's like, okay, how did I feel about that? If it's not the best, then I have to talk. You know what I mean? The more pressure builds up, the less you want to even get involved.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

I Totally get that.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

I will say I love that movie. It's very fun.

[Tommy]

It's the best movie ever. You should watch it. It's my favorite movie. I've watched it. Yeah.

[Shane]

If you don't watch it, actually knowing that you didn't watch it kind of blows my mind.

[Amanda]

No, I definitely won't watch it.

[Shane]

I don't know how to continue this conversation.

[Amanda]

Fine. Okay.

[Shane]

Well, that's.

[Tommy]

I won't look at you in the eye anymore.

[Amanda]

[Shane]

VGW Group void where prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply. And I. At first, when I thought of this question, I thought, oh, I won't put a finger down. I realized I do have to put a finger down. Never have I ever seen someone's band or just seen someone's musical performance and it was really bad, or I just didn't really like it and you told them it was really great.

[Tommy]

Shut up.

[Amanda]

Of course. Of course.

[Tommy]

I hate.

[Shane]

It's like a quintessential. I don't even think that's an LA thing. I think that's everywhere. It's just a thing everybody has.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

It's like, come see my show. And you're like, okay, yeah, and I will.

[Shane]

And it's always in the worst place. It's always like. It's always just perfectly far enough away. And there's no parking.

[Amanda]

There's no parking. There's no food. There's no drinks.

[Shane]

No.

[Amanda]

And the tickets, like, $5.

[Tommy]

Too much.

[Amanda]

Too much.

[Tommy]

It's like $28.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

I'm like, 28.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And then right when you get there, the person taking your ticket can't find it and you're already annoyed and you're like, I wish I was not here.

[Shane]

And your friend is always performing, like, last far in the back.

[Amanda]

They're performing at like 1am they're like, there's four openers. Wait for me. And you're like, eh, yeah.

[Tommy]

Also, as we know, I mean, this wasn't Yeah, I know. I gotta put my hand. As we know as comedians, I know this isn't a band, but our pull string on the back of our bodies is. Great set. I love that set. Great show. I don't know about you.

[Amanda]

I don't know about you guys, but I. If I have shows, I, like, pick and choose. I don't invite people to every single show. I pick and choose. I'm like, this one matters. And then I'll straight up be like, don't come to this one.

[Tommy]

Absolutely.

[Shane]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah.

[Amanda]

You don't want to burn people out.

[Tommy]

No.

[Shane]

Right, right.

[Amanda]

But then when you do get a text and it's like, come to my show.

[Tommy]

You're like, okay, I'll do that.

[Shane]

It's a lot of pressure. Talk about the ultimate pressure. Yeah. And I've also gone and seen people's musical performances. They've been great.

[Amanda]

Yeah, that's awesome. And then you're, like, psyched.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And luckily with. With comedy sets, whenever I've gone, they've been awesome. I've been very fortunate, though.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Because that would be even harder.

[Amanda]

Well, I've definitely seen a lot of bad improv in my life. People's like, that's the nature teams, where they're like, come on. And you're like, yeah, Yeah. I died in that moment. I was brought to another planet.

[Shane]

Rough.

[Tommy]

Welcome back.

[Amanda]

Welcome back.

[Tommy]

I've got one. Never have I ever puked at an amusement park or, Or a fair or anything crazy like that.

[Shane]

I never have. I don't get motion sickness.

[Amanda]

No. Wow. I get motion sickness. But I, I, I don't, I don't go on those rides.

[Tommy]

That's my thing. I don't do those rides.

[Shane]

You. Can you not do roller coasters?

[Amanda]

I love roller coasters. I can't do, like, spinny, spinny, spinny. Like Scrambling Tasmania.

[Tommy]

They've all got names.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Like the many ones where you're stuck to the wall. Zero percent. I can't do that. I can do, like, the. My favorite ride is the. What is that? The tilt. A whirl.

[Tommy]

What's this where you spin the cup?

[Amanda]

Nope. You're sitting in the thing and you're like, okay.

[Tommy]

I have more details about it.

[Amanda]

Okay. Okay. It's like a star and you're going this way and the other person's like, right there with you and you stop right next to each other and then you move again and you're like, don't worry about it.

[Tommy]

Do you know this one scrambler?

[Amanda]

I think it's Called the scrambler.

[Shane]

It's a scrambler. Yeah. Yeah.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy]

Sure. Yeah.

[Amanda]

I love that one.

[Tommy]

That's fun.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

So it's just specific motion sickness.

[Tommy]

Yeah. I got on this pocket of YouTube when it was like fair rides or whatever. Like breaking down and like tragic moments.

[Amanda]

No.

[Tommy]

And like rides history just. Cause you know, sometimes you get on that. Like, that's my true crime. People love true crime. I love a roller coaster.

[Amanda]

Awful.

[Tommy]

So like, that just further integrated my. Or solidified my not going on rides like that. Like, I'll do roller coasters for sure. But like, not fair. You won't see me at a fair.

[Amanda]

No, fair is crazy because it's like, oh, we're here for one week and you're like, you set up a ride in one week? One week.

[Tommy]

And you're. Yeah. Are the bolts.

[Amanda]

And you're doing it and you're like, yay. And the bolts are like chaosy bus.

[Shane]

I one time at Six Flags got stuck on Tatsu for 15 minutes just looking down at my death for 15 minutes.

[Tommy]

Can't do that.

[Shane]

Just. Just face down. It's the one where you're hanging and just the ground beneath for 15 minutes.

[Amanda]

I think I would have a panic attack and pass out.

[Tommy]

I would. Yeah.

[Shane]

I luckily was the type. This. I was a teenager. I was like, whatever, man.

[Amanda]

Like, that's wild. You have a sense of calm.

[Shane]

I lit a cigarette.

[Tommy]

You're like, don't understand.

[Shane]

I just dropped lit cigarettes down on the ground beneath me.

[Tommy]

There's a forest fire beneath you now.

[Amanda]

Your uncle's like, God, Shane is just such a beast of shit. He's like, stop.

[Shane]

Did you guys know that the sixth flag in Six Flags is the Confederate flag? Sorry to bring.

[Amanda]

Should I put down a finger?

[Tommy]

Is this real?

[Amanda]

Never have I ever Google it.

[Shane]

Google it. I learned this recently and that blew my mind. The six flags of Texas. The sixth.

[Amanda]

So is that why the mascot's like that old, like, white looking guy?

[Tommy]

That's the guy. That's why.

[Shane]

That's Robert E. Lee.

[Amanda]

Now he's on another finger.

[Tommy]

That's the remains of Robert E. Lee.

[Shane]

Okay. Selina just looks over like this.

[Tommy]

Yeah, it's true.

[Shane]

I never knew. I guess we can't go anymore. In their advertisements, in their logos, it's like those colorful triangular flags.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Yeah. It's just all. That's France. It's a bunch of flags.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Why is France in there? France was like, we'll give you 100 bucks.

[Tommy]

Places that have flag in place.

[Shane]

It's places that have governed Texas in the past.

[Tommy]

Oh, that makes sense.

[Shane]

So France, Spain, Mexico. I don't think they're owning that much anymore. They're doing the colorful triangular flag. I'm not going to defend six flags. I feel like I've nearly loved. I've nearly died there a couple of times.

[Amanda]

Sounds like you love being stuck on tatsu.

[Shane]

Okay, never have I ever.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

Never have I ever won over $1,000 in Vegas.

[Amanda]

No.

[Tommy]

Easy. I've never been to Vegas.

[Amanda]

I've been to Vegas, but I wasn't betting. I wasn't like, I don't know. I don't like.

[Shane]

I'm not a gambler.

[Amanda]

I don't like blackjack.

[Tommy]

Blackjack.

[Amanda]

Craps. Craps.

[Shane]

Yeah, craps.

[Amanda]

Okay. Slot machine.

[Shane]

What about the slot machine?

[Amanda]

It sounds fun. I just. I'd rather, like. I don't know. I just. It doesn't. It doesn't excite me if you go in with.

[Tommy]

This happened to me one time, and it was awesome.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy]

And I feel like. And I tried it again, and it didn't really work, but I went into. What's the morongo do? We know the Morongo.

[Shane]

Morongo casino.

[Amanda]

Morongo casino.

[Tommy]

The one that desert and resort. Yeah, that's, like, on the way to desert spots. Went in there with $20, and I was like, I have $20. I'm gonna gamble with my $20. And once this $20 gone, I'm leaving this place because, like, I don't have money to spend like that. And so I put in a 20. Get the little card. Good thing. Then now I'm up to 40. Now I'm up to 60. Now that 60 gets back down to 20. And then I'm like, okay, whoa, whoa. And I keep going and going. And I spent, like, an hour and a half just, like, making money, losing money, making money, losing money. And then I hit 20 again, and I was like, it's time to go. And I left with my $20.

[Amanda]

Wait, that's actually really fun.

[Tommy]

Yes. Don't gamble at home. People get addicted to it. But when you do the $20, you do get addicted.

[Amanda]

I would do the $20.

[Tommy]

It's really fun because then you're just like, this has no meaning to me. And I'm just going to leave when.

[Amanda]

I. Yeah, I don't want to, like, go in with hundreds of dollars.

[Shane]

That scares me. My mindset has always been, you take money that you're like, I'm going to spend this money.

[Tommy]

I'm not getting gambling.

[Shane]

You like to gamble I don't really like to gamble. I have really bad gambling luck.

[Amanda]

Oh. Yeah.

[Shane]

I. My first trip when I turned 21, my family's like, we're going to Vegas. And like, that's like kind of a thing that we do.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

But I immediately, like, I brought a couple hundred dollars. I was like, I'm gonna spend this this week. I lost it all immediately. Like, I didn't win any money. In all of my initial best, I lost. I lost $100 immediately. Like, did not even get, like a little bit back. You know how it's like it dwindles. It was just gone. Cause I lost. I did. I did blackjack immediately. And I lost every hand.

[Amanda]

You're like, hit me. And he was like, you're done.

[Shane]

My brothers were even like, oh, shit. And I was like, yeah, this is probably just not for me.

[Tommy]

Happy birthday.

[Shane]

I gotta be honest. This is probably not my thing. No. And truthfully, in Vegas, the odds are against you completely.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And people might go to Vegas and be up, but if you look at all your Vegas trips, you're always going to be down.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Like you're giving Vegas money.

[Amanda]

I think I just worry that there's like all these mob bosses watching you on the camera and they're like, look at that sleight of hand. And then you owe them your life. Have I watched too many movies?

[Tommy]

You've watched too many movies. Yeah.

[Shane]

Probably watched too many movies.

[Tommy]

Okay. But not the movies we want you to watch. If only you'd watch the movies that we cared about. What wanted you to watch?

[Amanda]

Like, Ocean's Eleven.

[Tommy]

Like Palm Springs.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. We're gonna watch.

[Shane]

Comment down below for Amanda to watch Palm Springs.

[Amanda]

Guys, I'm never gonna watch it now that I have all this pressure.

[Tommy]

This podcast gets 14 likes. We are going to force Amanda to watch Palm Springs and we're gonna do on the pod. Wow. Watch a long pod. Never been to Vegas. I want to Vegas.

[Amanda]

You actually would have a blast. Great.

[Shane]

People watching Vegas can be really fun.

[Amanda]

Circus ole.

[Shane]

The people watching in Vegas is crazy. It's crazy because you'll be walking down the Strip and you'll see people dressed in the most immaculate clothing next to someone who's wearing like a singular T shirt that covers their whole body and then flip flops that are correct.

[Tommy]

That's awesome.

[Shane]

Barely on their feet.

[Tommy]

I've also heard if you've hit a third day of Vegas, you've done it too long. Yes, yes. It's like a two day thing. And then you got to get out.

[Shane]

The third day, you hate Vegas more than anything on this planet.

[Tommy]

That's awesome.

[Amanda]

I went when I was 22, and it was the third day.

[Tommy]

It was, like, too old to go.

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

Oh, God, no.

[Amanda]

Grown. Grown, though, man.

[Tommy]

Vegas is okay. I'd say it's actually grown. I'm still a young.

[Amanda]

Grown men were younger than you. Honey.

[Tommy]

I threw my back out two days ago. You beat kind of my old soul.

[Shane]

I actually feel like when I've. Every time I've gone to Vegas, it's mostly like seniors.

[Amanda]

That's what I was thinking.

[Shane]

I think it's mostly. I feel like that's usually my experience.

[Tommy]

Oof.

[Amanda]

Oof.

[Shane]

I don't think young. I don't think younger. I don't think millennials and Gen Z are as into Vegas as boomers were. No, I think we're kind of like, not. Gambling's not fun. Cause nobody has money, right?

[Amanda]

Correct.

[Shane]

And things are scary, so it's like, I'm not gonna do that. Boomers had stupid money.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

I've got one, but I feel like it's only gonna get you maybe. Or maybe no one.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Tommy]

Never have I ever gotten a spray tan.

[Shane]

You gotten a spray tan?

[Amanda]

Of course I have.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Of course I have. I'm from the East Coast. Our proms are basically crawling into fall, and I needed to be tan.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

People expected me to be tan.

[Tommy]

I really want to get a spray tan.

[Amanda]

I know you do.

[Tommy]

As a bit. There was a moment where I was, like, gonna show up to a shoot week. Just orange. Like, deep, deep orange. I was so excited for it. And then, like, striat got moved around.

[Amanda]

Honey, I don't know if you'll be orange. You might be, like, brown.

[Tommy]

Well, that's what I don't. I don't want to push any limits. Okay. I don't want to. I don't want anyone to assume something wrong. But I do want to have a spray tan just for the hell of it.

[Shane]

Oh, my God.

[Amanda]

And I think. And I think you should do it closer to December so it's even more like, whoa.

[Shane]

We know for sure that it was a spray tan.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

The spray tan is the most. I mean, I haven't done it since I was 18.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

But I used to do the beds.

[Shane]

Terrible.

[Amanda]

And then it was, like, a thing that you do for prom. Right? You have to do it. It's like a thing. But the spray tan is insane because you can get it on everything you own when you come home.

[Tommy]

Oh, no.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah.

[Tommy]

How long do I have to not touch anything.

[Amanda]

Well, they've probably like. They probably like enhanced it. It's probably more advanced now than when I was 18.

[Tommy]

They put hot glue all over you now really seal it in.

[Amanda]

They probably do. They probably like exfoliate you and then I don't know. But you don't wanna shower after. Cause then you get spots, right? And you don't wanna get spots.

[Tommy]

But how do I sleep standing?

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Shane]

I remember for days, I remember talking to a person who did spray tanning and she was talking about.

[Amanda]

That was her job.

[Shane]

That was her job. She worked at a spray tan place and she was talking about when dudes would come in, how it'd be like, all right, now move your junk to the side. Spray tan. That's.

[Amanda]

They wanted it all brown.

[Shane]

Everywhere, everywhere.

[Amanda]

Those were all the men I went to high school with.

[Tommy]

I'd probably do that.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And I think you should. So you can chunk to the side.

[Tommy]

Chunk to the right. Crisscross.

[Amanda]

Ow, ow ow ow ow ow.

[Tommy]

Crisscross.

[Amanda]

Ow ow ow ow. Honestly, I can't wait to see you. Cause I need to wear the little.

[Tommy]

I'm gonna have the little baby little.

[Amanda]

Goggles that don't have lines here. Just here.

[Tommy]

I'm gonna have the white eyes. It's gonna be great.

[Shane]

You're gonna come in, you'll be like, welcome to family beauty.

[Amanda]

Now you. I can't wait.

[Shane]

Oh my God.

[Tommy]

So keep a, keep a, keep an eye out.

[Amanda]

So I guess I'm the only one who did the spray tan vibes. I. I mean, I wish I never did it. I look back at prom photos and I'm like, wow. Oh, wowzers.

[Tommy]

Well.

[Amanda]

But all my dresses were like hot pink, lime green, bright orange.

[Tommy]

So you needed a, you needed a boost.

[Shane]

You're like, bobby, we're late for prom.

[Amanda]

My hair was like slick. The Barbie slicked and then curls and like kind of up. It was called a have do.

[Tommy]

Whoa.

[Shane]

Did you ever do bump its the fuck? Do you remember those? Do you remember?

[Amanda]

Yes. I never did them, but I know that it was a possibility for me to do.

[Shane]

Was. It was definitely.

[Amanda]

I mean I did grow up on Jersey Shore. I watched all Jersey. Sure. But you could have it. You buy it. And it was like a plastic thing. Yeah.

[Tommy]

It's like a little ramp in your head.

[Amanda]

You go home, you go to my home, people still rock a bump it big time.

[Shane]

That's awesome.

[Amanda]

They're dressed up for the grocery store. Like hardcore.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Correct.

[Shane]

It's crazy.

[Amanda]

Yeah. Woo. Pretty cool.

[Shane]

Never have I ever invested in crypto. Okay. Didn't think. What?

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

What? Yeah, Amanda, our offline queen.

[Tommy]

That is the craziest.

[Amanda]

I'm not kidding.

[Tommy]

That is the craziest turn of events I have.

[Amanda]

I have.

[Shane]

Oh, did you make money?

[Amanda]

Yeah. Whoa.

[Shane]

Nice.

[Amanda]

Not like, whoa, holy shit. But I did double what I put in there.

[Shane]

Okay, that's cool.

[Tommy]

That's insane. Like, to be honest, that's crazy to me.

[Shane]

This is the most insane.

[Amanda]

It's like, when people figured out I love Lord of the Rings, they were like, what? And I was like, yeah, wow.

[Shane]

Lord of the Rings. You know what?

[Tommy]

That rides are crypto.

[Shane]

Palm Springs, I am actually going to kill you. Okay. That's crazy.

[Amanda]

I have invested in crypto, and I. I wanted to. I wasn't sure about it, and my friend gave me a whole download and then kind of helped me do it, and I was like, wow, cool.

[Shane]

I should point out that that's. That it is gambling. So you were. You won. Wow, good job.

[Amanda]

I won.

[Shane]

Similar to gambling. Also, I think advice overall, don't. You're. Because you more likely to lose money.

[Amanda]

More likely.

[Shane]

You got very lucky.

[Amanda]

I got very lucky. I did, like, a safe, safe gamble on it where it, like, stops you. It doesn't. It doesn't allow you to, like, put too much on anything. It just like.

[Shane]

And you're not also putting, like. People are putting their life savings into crypto.

[Amanda]

I would never. I'd rather take out the cash and hide it somewhere.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

In your mattress.

[Amanda]

Yeah, in my mattress.

[Shane]

That's so funny.

[Tommy]

Out of all of us at the table.

[Shane]

That is so crazy.

[Amanda]

Me thinks it was an awesome idea that I did it.

[Tommy]

Me. Thanks.

[Shane]

Well, you got money, so it worked out.

[Amanda]

Me. Thanks. I did a good job.

[Shane]

Do you guys have any.

[Tommy]

I'm going through my brain right now thinking about stuff I have not.

[Amanda]

Oh, never have I ever paid for online dating.

[Shane]

No, I never have.

[Tommy]

Yes, I have.

[Amanda]

And that's okay.

[Tommy]

It's okay.

[Amanda]

Most of the world, you can pay.

[Tommy]

To see who has liked you on these apps. Are you kidding me? Let me spend $20 so I don't have to go through the, you know, hoopla of, like.

[Shane]

Of course it's designed that way. Of course.

[Amanda]

Are they all paying or they're all.

[Tommy]

Free, but then you can pay to either. Like Tinder, for example, is like, you're done swiping for the day. Unless you pay us $10, then you can keep swiping.

[Shane]

No, it's really shitty. Oh, I think they're kind of all Kind of crumbling a little bit right now. I think they're struggling.

[Tommy]

I know a lot of. Well, I'm actually not the person to speak on this. The gay people I'm surrounded by are moving past dating apps. They're, like, bored of it.

[Shane]

I think everyone kind of is.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

I. Yeah, I have a theory. I mean, it makes sense that they want to keep the demand up. They don't want them to really work in the long run.

[Tommy]

They don't want you to.

[Shane]

They want people to be single. I think dating apps have probably made dating so much harder than. I mean, I think everyone knows they have made because people come, but I don't think they're designed. I don't think dating apps were really designed for you to find a thing like.

[Tommy]

No, it's for fucking.

[Shane]

It's. And I think even that started to suck. Like, I think they're bad in that, too. Yeah.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

I heard someone explain it recently, and I was like, wow. Just. This is more the dating sphere, but specifically in dating apps, that for men, dating is a desert, and for women, it's a swamp. And I was like, wow, that's.

[Tommy]

That's crazy, because that was, like, so cool.

[Shane]

It's bad for everyone, but it's bad.

[Amanda]

In a bad way for women.

[Shane]

Well, yeah.

[Tommy]

No, Yeah.

[Shane]

I don't think swamp was meant to be a good thing.

[Amanda]

Well.

[Shane]

Oh, like a nice swamp.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah. I guess swamp is bad.

[Shane]

We just learned that Amanda is Shrek and thinks swamps are awesome.

[Amanda]

My swamp.

[Shane]

But, yeah, it's just bad. Like, the experience is not good and organized. They're not trying to optimize it for you to match with someone. They're probably trying to keep that match away so that you stay and pay for it.

[Amanda]

Was it ever good?

[Shane]

I think initially they were really years ago.

[Tommy]

Yeah. Tommy, the longest relationship I had, I met on Tinder.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

People do meet their partners on dating apps. It's still possible. I just think the infrastructure is not designed for it.

[Amanda]

Well.

[Shane]

And it's all trying to get money out of you. That's their goal. Their goal is not to match you with someone. Their goal is to get money out of you. So.

[Amanda]

All right, well, one down for Tommy. What does everyone have? Because I have two.

[Tommy]

I've got three left. I'm pretty sure I kind of lost count, but I'm pretty sure it's three.

[Shane]

Four.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Pretty sure I got four because I've not invested in crypto.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

I should have.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

I guess I should have.

[Amanda]

I guess you should have.

[Shane]

Never have. I Ever texted an ex. But it's like texting an ex being like, hey, I'm sorry. Hey, what's, what's going on?

[Tommy]

Come back.

[Shane]

Not, not like, hey, you know, like, not for like a necessity.

[Amanda]

Like, never have I ever texted an ex in like a flirting I want you back vibes.

[Shane]

Yes. Or in any sort of way, like, yeah, more that tone.

[Tommy]

Is texting an ex having a conversation of like, hey, we should like, meet up and like, have a conversation?

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

If it's not platonic. I don't think it's platonic. I think in a non platonic way.

[Amanda]

You mean like as a, like a booty call or just like.

[Shane]

Sure, booty call counts. Just not platonic. Not just like, hey, my friend, I don't know, like, hey, I'm recommending you for a job. Or I don't know, like ex, like.

[Amanda]

A real ex or like a, like a two month hangout ex.

[Shane]

I'd say a real ex.

[Amanda]

I think I was too prideful. I don't think I did.

[Tommy]

I think.

[Amanda]

I think I've wanted to, but I'm very stubborn and prideful, so I don't think I did.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

I think most of my breakups were either, like, I was like super done or they were super done or they were trans. Hi, Lena. And we're still friends. And. Yeah. So I don't think. I don't think so.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Tommy]

It was very, like, no more contact.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I think I've wanted to, though.

[Tommy]

Oh, sure.

[Amanda]

I've wanted to. I've definitely tried to be like, oh, okay, where can I. Again, it always goes back to in person for me.

[Shane]

Totally.

[Amanda]

So it's like, if I know that they're gonna be at a party and I'm interested in that.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I'll be like, oh, okay, I wanna go. But no, that's different. I too, too, too stubborn.

[Shane]

Okay. Okay.

[Tommy]

Ooh, I've got one.

[Shane]

All right.

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Tommy]

Never have I ever gotten a concussion.

[Shane]

I don't think I've gotten a concussion.

[Tommy]

I don't think so, Amanda.

[Shane]

That I'm aware of.

[Tommy]

That I'm aware of.

[Shane]

I guess that's always the case.

[Tommy]

I've probably had one that I'm not aware of.

[Shane]

That's where we've all. You know what we're all.

[Amanda]

I think I might have.

[Shane]

Did you get diagnosed with a concussion at any point?

[Amanda]

No, but I felt really sick. A bus hit me and my sister.

[Shane]

I'm sorry.

[Amanda]

What the fuck?

[Shane]

I'm sorry, Amanda.

[Amanda]

Sorry.

[Tommy]

Were they trying to get your crypto?

[Amanda]

Sorry. Yeah. They're like, you invested in crypto.

[Shane]

Bus Boom.

[Tommy]

Okay, we need to talk about that.

[Shane]

You got hit by a bus. I did. And you've never mentioned this.

[Amanda]

Correct. I was inside of a car.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

It was me and my older sister. We share a birthday, right? We were young. We were on our way to a dinner that we were having in Boston with my mom and sisters and my grandparents. We were going to this, like, Portuguese restaurant or tapas. Spanish tapas. I can't remember. But I was young. I was, like, not super young. I think I was, like, 16 or something. And we were both in her little shitbox car. Like, little. And we were in Boston, and we had parked for a second, and I was on the phone with my mom, who was in a car like, five cars down.

[Tommy]

And Ms. Frizzle was drunk as fuck.

[Amanda]

Ms. Frizzle was like, la, la, la, la, la. Can I put my bus in you? And my sister was turning, and the bus was coming, and it hit her and slammed us against many, many, many cars. And I lost. I blacked out. And I was on the phone with my mom. Unfortunately, she heard the whole thing.

[Tommy]

Yeah, that would be terrifying.

[Amanda]

Which is why I never talk about it. Cause I blacked it out. But, like, she heard the whole thing. And it was just, boom. Hit us all through these parked cars in Boston. Luckily, the bus stopped. And we were okay. We were okay. And my sister. The car was, like, crunched, but no one got, like, cut or anything. But we. I think my sister was fine, but I definitely hit my head. Cause I was on the phone, like, down by my feet or something.

[Tommy]

You kind of did an initial bomb.

[Amanda]

Exactly. And the phone was still on.

[Tommy]

Wow.

[Amanda]

And I think the worst part was the embarrassment of my mom having a fucking breakdown. Do you know. Do you know when someone's, like, worried that you almost died and you almost.

[Tommy]

Feel like then it's back on? You're embarrassed to be like, calm down.

[Amanda]

You're almost like. Do you know that feeling? I don't know when it's like, my mom pulled up, and she was like, my babies. Like that. Like, she was in hysterics. And I felt deeply uncomfortable. I was like, I'm fine, Mom.

[Shane]

Mom, you're being cringe right now.

[Amanda]

No, I felt so bad for her. And my poor little sister was in the car, and she was like, I'm never gonna be the same.

[Tommy]

Oh, God.

[Amanda]

She was in the car with my mother. So she experienced my mom being like, they're dead.

[Tommy]

They're dead.

[Shane]

Oh, my God. Well, it probably sounded crazy on the phone.

[Amanda]

We got hit by a fucking bus.

[Shane]

Like, the sound was probably worse than even crunchy, squeaky.

[Amanda]

So I felt really sick, but my mom was like, well, we have reservations. We have to go. Now that you're alive, it's for your birthday. We can't let your grandparents down.

[Shane]

Did you not go to the hospital or anything?

[Amanda]

No, I went to dinner.

[Shane]

Just went to dinner.

[Amanda]

My grandparents.

[Shane]

Crazy craziest part.

[Amanda]

My grandparents were waiting. We can't let them down. They'll be so. They'll be devastated if you guys don't show up to your birthday dinner. So me and my elder sis. This is, like, the story of my life. Me and my other sister walked in and I. I remember throwing up in the bathroom, and my mom was like.

[Shane]

You had a concussion. You had a concussion.

[Amanda]

But I had to be like, they're like, happy birthday.

[Shane]

And I was like a concussed. Having to be concussed and sit through happy birthdays.

[Tommy]

That's unbelievable.

[Amanda]

Story of my life, where it's like, you almost died, but we can't let your grandparents down.

[Tommy]

That's crazy.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Anyways, wow.

[Amanda]

So I think I did have a concussion.

[Tommy]

That's.

[Shane]

Yeah, I think 100%.

[Amanda]

I think her car was totaled.

[Tommy]

Pretty sure that crunched. It's probably wild. Yeah.

[Amanda]

And the bus didn't give a fucking shit. They were like, you pulled out at the wrong time, lady. Like, they're. They're just boss.

[Shane]

It was like a public. Public. Yeah.

[Amanda]

I mean, she definitely did the wrong thing.

[Tommy]

Well, yeah.

[Amanda]

It's like, you know when you pull out and you put your blinker on and the bus is coming, so you're gonna wait? No, my sister's like, gotta go anyways, so I guess I have one left.

[Tommy]

I feel like you put a finger down for that.

[Amanda]

Should I put all my fingers down for that? Should I take two?

[Shane]

That's a two for no. I'm just kidding. Okay. You have one left. Wow.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

Holy crap.

[Amanda]

Sorry.

[Tommy]

I love that story. Thank you.

[Amanda]

You're welcome.

[Shane]

Selena wrote this one down, and I feel like we just gotta. We just gotta say it. Never have I ever gotten the ick from someone at this table.

[Tommy]

The ick.

[Shane]

I don't think I've gotten the ick from anyone at this table.

[Tommy]

I don't think I've gotten the ick.

[Shane]

I don't think I get the ick.

[Amanda]

I definitely get the ick.

[Tommy]

Oh, I get.

[Amanda]

Oh, I get the ick.

[Tommy]

I feel like I haven't gotten the ick.

[Amanda]

Well, come on.

[Tommy]

Not anyone at this table.

[Amanda]

I don't think I've gotten the ick from anyone at this table.

[Tommy]

No.

[Amanda]

At all. But I've definitely gotten the ick. Come on. You've gotten the ick.

[Shane]

I guess I probably have. I don't think of it in those terms.

[Amanda]

It's like when someone says something and.

[Shane]

You'Re like, yeah, okay.

[Tommy]

Loosely. Yeah, I was on, like, a date or whatever, and someone was like, what a cute doggo over there. And I went.

[Shane]

Sorry, I got hit by a bus earlier.

[Tommy]

I looked up. I clearly. My face changed. He went, oh, no. Should I not have said that? Because I think I went, like. And he was like, oh, I'm so sorry. I will never say that again. And I'm like, no, no, no, it's fine.

[Shane]

But also, no, don't.

[Amanda]

He said.

[Shane]

He said, what a cute dog. And he goes, oh, should I not have said that, Ermergur?

[Amanda]

I'm a dumb, dumb idiot.

[Shane]

I'm just small bean.

[Amanda]

Oh, God. Maybe I have gotten the ick from you, Shane. I'm not sure. I think. I think maybe I have. No, I. No, not the real ick. Just when you're doing shit like that.

[Tommy]

He's cringed you out.

[Amanda]

He's 100% cringed me out. Yeah, but not like. Not a true ick, where you're like, oh, God. And you don't want to tell them. Yeah, I've had friends who've given me the ick, and I've definitely looked at them like, oh, God.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

They're like, what? I'm like, never mind.

[Tommy]

Yeah, I just let it go.

[Amanda]

I let it go. But sometimes you got to tell them.

[Tommy]

I know.

[Amanda]

You're like, you can't.

[Tommy]

That's so hard.

[Shane]

You're a gross idiot right now.

[Amanda]

And I think it has to do with, like, dogs and, like, people walking by, like, cute, cute dog or whatever. They say something. You're just like, oh, my God, I've.

[Shane]

Gotten the ick for myself. I think, oh, I think I've got. I've got the ick.

[Tommy]

How so?

[Amanda]

How so?

[Shane]

I think I. I don't know. Just in moments, I think about dogs. Like, I. It is so subconscious that when I see a dog, I go so high register. And I don't know why still. Oh, no, I want to talk to a dog. Like, just a. Just be like, what's up, man? But every time I'm like. I'm like, oh, how's it going?

[Amanda]

I swear, with a dog, it doesn't give me the ick.

[Tommy]

There is A Some science pod. Whoa. Some science podcast that I listen to. There is a instinctual thing that we talk like that to small animals. That would be.

[Shane]

Is it like a baby thing or.

[Tommy]

It is a baby thing. Even other animals talk to their own children with a different tone than they would talk to other things. And it's so that the babies know that they're being addressed. It's so like, if we didn't use that voice toward the dogs, the dogs might not know that we're addressing them. I could be wrong. But I have a microphone. I have a microphone in front of my mouth. So that means everything I say is true.

[Amanda]

Correct. That actually makes sense, though. And also, you can't stop yourself. I could never go to a dog and be like, what's up, little brother?

[Tommy]

How are you? Hello, buddy.

[Shane]

Hey, dog. It's hard. It's really hard not to.

[Amanda]

It's really hard. So it's okay.

[Shane]

Sometimes I catch myself with my cats. I'll just like. If I'm just hanging out, I'll turn and I'll just be like, what are you doing, dude? What's going on?

[Amanda]

That's cause you live with them. Difference.

[Shane]

What are you up to? And they're just looking at you like, what?

[Tommy]

Never have I ever owned a dog.

[Amanda]

Oh, I'm out.

[Shane]

Got me.

[Amanda]

I'm out. Ha ha.

[Shane]

Never owned a dog.

[Amanda]

Do you want to own a dog someday?

[Tommy]

Now I do. I never used to, but now I wanted to.

[Amanda]

I feel like you'd be so good as a dog owner.

[Shane]

What kind of dog would you want?

[Tommy]

I don't know. I recently had a lot of interactions with a pit. And they're the sweetest little.

[Amanda]

They're so cute.

[Tommy]

There's a whole little person in there. But growing up, I had hermit crabs.

[Shane]

I had a hermit crab.

[Tommy]

I had fish, I had prairie dogs.

[Shane]

You had prairie dogs?

[Tommy]

Like prairie dogs? Like the ones that are in a desert?

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

Wow. Did you prairie dogs.

[Shane]

Did you have them outside or you had them inside?

[Tommy]

I had them inside. They're pet. They can be pets. It was amazing.

[Shane]

How many.

[Amanda]

Where do they burrow?

[Tommy]

They're like this big. Well, you give them like a bunch of. What we did is we like cut up little, like blankets so that they had like material to burrow in, but, like, that would be clean. My dad built a cage that like the bottom half like, collects all the poopies.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tommy]

But he built a two story. We had one. Her name was Girly. She was awesome. And I was like in fifth grade or Whatever. And we just adopted them from people who got them as pets and then was like, we actually don't know how to take care of these because they're very social. They live in big groups. They need other creatures. Kind of like humans in a way.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

They're like. If humans were hamsters, like, that's like, the idea. They're very into. They have their own language.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Tommy]

They can, like, squeak to each other about like, oh, a tall human being who's wearing red is approaching this quickly. Like, that's how detailed they can get.

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Tommy]

Yeah. You come home and they're like, yay. And you're like, oh, my God. Hi, baby. And then you, like, let them out and they crawl up and they nestle into your little neck. And then you can sit and watch TV and they'll, like, flop over into your army and just, like, scratch your little belly. And they're like, wait, stop. Yeah. They're the best.

[Amanda]

I did not know this.

[Tommy]

They have little personalities. They're just. They're called the Chicken Nuggets of the Prairie because they are, like, perfect prey and they die really easy. So it's like you have to really take care of them. But they're really precious.

[Shane]

That's why they live underground. And they have, like, their warning signs.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

Chicken Nuggets of the Prairie.

[Amanda]

They're all over la, too. Like the big fields. Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

Wow.

[Amanda]

When I would take my dog to a park, there was all these little holes and they would just stick pretty much their whole body out. And then they would know that she was there. And they were, like, off the back.

[Shane]

Yep.

[Amanda]

And they go back in. They were everywhere.

[Tommy]

Yeah. They're illegal to have as pets in la. Otherwise I'd probably have one.

[Amanda]

Why?

[Tommy]

Because a long, long, long time ago, they. One of them got monkeypox somehow. And then that spread to a person, and it was just the one. And then there were, like, never again. Is that a pet?

[Shane]

It's kind of the same with, like. We don't have ferrets in California either. There's a lot of pets that are illegal in California.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Tommy]

Well, Dan, anyway, never. Never owned a dog, but I've had those cute little creatures. But I want a dog.

[Amanda]

You would be such a good dog owner. I really. I really think so. Would you want.

[Tommy]

Am I gonna be the single gay with a dog?

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Tommy]

Really?

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Tommy]

Am I gonna be that guy?

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Is that a guy?

[Tommy]

Oh, my God, yes. Walk outside and point in a direction. There's a. There's a gay with A dog who's like, well, relationships didn't work out, so I'm gonna have a dog.

[Amanda]

Yep.

[Tommy]

Okay.

[Amanda]

Yep. And they're usually like, they're a little bit older, and they have everything particular in their house. And they have their little dog.

[Tommy]

So fun to date, it sounds like.

[Amanda]

And their dog just, like, is their world.

[Tommy]

Yes. Which it would be my world. That's. That's another reason I'm scared to do it, because I'm like, no, it would just be my world.

[Amanda]

It would. You would dedicate your life to it.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

So maybe hold off.

[Tommy]

Maybe hold off. We'll see.

[Shane]
