Because then we get to talk about it. Yes. Yeah. But these are some that we're not going to talk about today. But I just want to see if you're aware of them.

[Amanda]

I just want you to know, also, I'm a visual person, so sometimes you'll say something and I might not know.

[Austin James]

But may not know. Okay, that's fine.

[Shane]

All right.

[Austin James]

That's fine. Are you aware of Dramageddon?

[Amanda]

No, sir.

[Austin James]

Ok. Are you aware of Gamergate?

[Amanda]

I've heard about it.

[Austin James]

You've heard probably in this office.

[Amanda]

Why do I feel like I'm on the stand?

[Austin James]

Right. You've probably heard of Gamergate. Because I have a lot of games.

[Amanda]

Yeah. And Ian has been talking about it a lot.

[Austin James]

It was a big deal and we're in the gaming sphere, so people are aware of it. Do you know about Leroy Jenkins?

[Amanda]

This sounds really familiar. Yeah, it actually genuinely does.

Leroy Jenkins sounds familiar.

[Amanda]

Okay, it does sound familiar.

That was a crime.

[Amanda]

No, sir.

[Austin James]

I'll cover that some other time. That one blew my mind.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Austin James]

I'm sad we aren't getting into all of these. These are all great ones. We could. We could. Well, if we have time at the end, maybe we'll cover one of them. You have to have known about Kony 2012.

[Amanda]

No. You don't know.

Okay, dude. Okay.

[Amanda]

But wait, wait.

[Tommy]

I remember being in my 8th grade geography class and watching a Kony 2012 video.

Wait a second. Maybe. Maybe if you show me the video.

[Austin James]

Okay, it's totally fine. No, it's. It's totally fine. Okay. Okay. This one. Amanda, you will be such a fan. I can't wait. I don't think we could show the whole video. We would do this on our TikTok or something where we'd show you this. Have you watched or are you aware of Rebecca Black's Friday?

[Amanda]

Of course.

[Austin James]

Okay, good.

[Amanda]

Okay, thank you. Friday, of course.

[Austin James]

There we go.

[Amanda]

100%. Didn't her dad pay for that music video or something?

[Austin James]

Probably.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I know about that.

[Austin James]

My friend showed me that video before. It Blew up. Because we had a lot of friends who were, like, kind of in that sphere of music, because I was. Yeah, we were. We had a lot of friends who were trying to get in the music industry, and that was a production company that a lot of people kind of were in. And. But. So she showed me that video when it had, like, 20,000 views. Oh, my God. And she was like, bro, watch this. And I was like, oh, my God, this is crazy. And then it became the biggest thing.

[Amanda]

You thought it was crazy good or crazy bad? Of course.

[Austin James]

There's no defending it.

[Amanda]

It's so bad.

[Austin James]

I think Rebecca Black leveraged it so well. She owned it. And she has, like, a remix of it that's like, a hit right now. Yeah.

You're going to be obsessed with this. I can't wait to show you. All right, those were some that I listed. Now we're gonna get into some that I'm gonna tell you about. And even if you are aware of them, I think it'll be fun to talk about them. Can I go through my list really quick and see? Cause then, I don't know, there might be some overlap. So mine are, like, very kind of a little bit more like YouTube. I feel like I have a lot of YouTube websites on here, but. Okay. Salad fingers.

[Amanda]

I know. Salad fingers.

[Austin James]

Okay. Okay.

[Amanda]

I actually watched a lot of YouTube in college.

[Austin James]

Okay.

[Tommy]

All right.

[Amanda]

I hated salad fingers and also couldn't stop watching it. I was never the creepy little hands.

[Austin James]

I do a pretty good salad finger. The failing of rust against my salad.

[Amanda]

Fingers is almost orgasmic. Wow. That's actually really good.

[Austin James]

Like, it's 10 years ago when everyone was doing salad fingers impressions.

[Austin James]

What about Tide pods? People eating Tide pods.

[Amanda]

I have heard about Tide pods.

[Austin James]

Okay. What about the Benadryl challenge? I haven't heard about the Benadryl challenge. That's a recent one. Kids are just eating a bunch of Benadryl. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Harambe. Harambe. Harambe was a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. I believe it was the Cincinnati Zoo. And a boy somehow snuck in and fell into the gorilla pit.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Austin James]

And the kid's in the gorilla pit. Harambe comes up. He's curious. He's looking at the kid. He's just kind of looking at him. Whatever. And they then shot Harambe. It's sad. They shot Harambe and they killed him.

[Amanda]

Why are we laughing?

[Austin James]

I'm laughing because this is an insane story that I've processed years ago. I remember the news, like the video and everything. I was sad. I was like, damn, why would they shoot him?

[Amanda]

He didn't want to do anything. He was probably talking to him.

[Austin James]

You're now dealing with the trauma that everyone else dealt with years ago.

[Amanda]

Why would they kill Harambe?

[Austin James]

Well, because I think they were worried that. They were worried about him hurting the kid.

[Amanda]

The Kid fucking went in his home. Harambe deserved to live.

[Austin James]

No, I. I know. He did deserve to live.

[Amanda]

Is there a protest that I could go.

[Kiana]

English is not his first language.

[Austin James]

I see blue eyes. I don't think he speaks any English.

[Tommy]

Awesome.

[Austin James]

I'll be completely honest, but that's kind of the beauty is that in his music you're like, oh, the lyrics don't even matter. But he has one that is his best and it's the Christmas Song. It's chestnuts roasting over an open fire.

[Kiana]

Yeah.

[Austin James]

Now, I have listened to it so much that my impression of him is the only time I think I can actually sing. And it starts like this. It starts off with the beautiful music.

[Amanda]

Here we go.

[Austin James]

And you should pull it. You can just look up. Look up Church Nuts on Tick Tock. And you'll find it. And he'll just be like, cheers. Not rotting on an open fire. It's like that. And it's gorgeous. And he's gorgeous.

[Amanda]

Nipping at you. No, I love him.

Incredible. Yes, he does do lives.

[Kiana]

And he does lives. And he'll duet with other people to do karaoke. And there are other people are always so bad. They're always so bad.

[Austin James]

And he's like, no. His two best performances are Church Nuts and as well as Careless Whisper. He crushes Michael.

[Amanda]

Careless Whisper?

[Austin James]

Yeah. He crushes it. No. Anook is top three TikToker.

[Amanda]

I will be following Anook.

[Austin James]

Oh. Absolute legend.

[Amanda]

Where is he from?

[Austin James]

No idea.

[Amanda]

Awesome.

[Austin James]

And you know what? I'd rather keep him bathed in mystery.

[Amanda]

Whoa. You'd rather keep him bathed.

[Austin James]

Bathed in mystery.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Austin James]

Yeah, that's.

[Amanda]

You thought I was crazy about Santa going down a mountain with a Coca Cola. You've got a nook bathed.

[Austin James]

That's right.

[Amanda]

With Church nuts.

[Austin James]

That's right.

[Amanda]

Holy.

[Amanda]

Christmas is just. Brings out all these weird.

[Austin James]

Hold on. I want to see if I can. If I look up Church Nuts, will I just get the original? No. Whoa.

[Kiana]

This is why you're an idiot for not having chestnuts on your immediate playlist this year.

[Austin James]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Let me see him.

[Austin James]

Tell me I didn't nail that earlier. Morse.

[Amanda]

I love him.

[Austin James]

Tell me I didn't nail that. Why?

[Amanda]

Is he stunning?

[Austin James]

He is. There's an argument to be made that he might be an angel.

[Amanda]

Kissed by an angel. My God.

[Austin James]

I just love. He has such a fan base on TikTok that at one point in, like, March, I did an impression of him, and it got like 2 million views, and people were like, oh, my God. Church Nuts. I was like, everybody knows. Like, everybody knows the glory of a nook.

[Amanda]

I can't.

[Austin James]

I hope I'm pronouncing that right, but. Well, I love him.

[Amanda]

Never know.

[Austin James]

I love him.

[Amanda]

I'm going to follow him.

[Kiana]

[Amanda]

Hey, it's Emma Chamberlain. I designed these new glasses for Warby Parker.

[Kiana]

They're just that good.

[Amanda]

Go see them [e-mail] and you know what? Have a good day too.

[Kiana]

Okay?

[Amanda]

All right, bye.

[Austin James]

Before we hop in, I should just give you some context about what's about to happen. You see, Spencer and I know a lot about video games, but Amanda knows nothing. So because of that, we decided to prank her and convince her that the plot of the video game Five Nights at Freddy's is a true story. So enjoy.

[Amanda]

I don't think it's good to be so restrictive, but for me, my obsession lies in, like, movies. I love movies. My favorite thing is to, like, find a good movie. I also love to rewatch my favorite classic movies. I love international series. Like, I have an addiction to that.

[Austin James]

I think we all have a love for movies here. I think we're the three. I think I'd say of the cast, us three are the most movie people. Like, I feel like that's fair. I mean, everyone loves movies, but I think us three are like, we watch all sorts and a ton.

[Amanda]

A ton of movies. Those are my addictions.

[Austin James]

Are you gonna see Five Nights at Freddy's?

[Amanda]

Freddy Krueger?

[Austin James]

No. No. It's this weird story that is based on a true story.

[Shane]

Yeah, it's. I know y'all did like, the horror thing, but it's like, it's. It's truly like one of the most fucked up stories. Like, or like one of the, like.

[Amanda]

So it's a true story.

[Tommy]

So.

[Shane]

Yeah, the movie is, like, based on this true story. Like, so what happened was there was this guy who. It was.

[Austin James]

It's.

[Shane]

It's basically Chuck E. Cheese. I like, it was. And what happened was there were these kids that pulled a prank on this other kid and they. Yeah, and they. They put his. Like, the kid, like, hated. It was like a birthday party and the kid hated animatronics. And so they were like, I saw.

[Amanda]

The trailer for it.

[Shane]

Yeah. But this, like. I don't think they'll do this in the movie. Cause it's like. Yeah, it's dark.

[Austin James]

I thought it was one of the kids of. The owner of it put the other kid in the suit. Or like, so he.

[Shane]

So they were pranking the kid and they put his head in the suit. But there were like these, like. It's called like a.

[Austin James]

It's called like a spring lock or something.

[Shane]

Yeah, like a spring trap or something.

[Austin James]

It was these Cause it was this like kind of experimental type of suits. The guy who created it, like really, I don't know, but, but it ended up, it ended up, I think killed the kid.

[Shane]

So basically the jaw like snapped on the kid's head.

[Amanda]

Did he die?

[Shane]

He, he died. Not immediately. They like, I think he died later.

[Austin James]

But then the owner, the real story is that this is the owner like lost his mind. And then the owner, I, and I don't know if, I don't know if it was proven, but the owner ended up killing like more kids.

[Shane]

The owner killed kids and would like.

[Amanda]

Whoa, how did I miss out on this true crime story?

[Shane]

There's this guy, his name is Matthew Patrick and he like has this YouTube channel and he kind of like goes.

[Austin James]

Into it because he goes into, he's a true crime youtuber and so he goes in on all of these types of things and he does a full in depth thing about Freddy Fazbear is the main like mascot thing. And I think the owner would, it was a really messed up thing. He would wear these costumes. That's how he like lured the kids and he owned the place. And it's very, yeah. And I wonder, I've always wondered if it was very covered up because places like Chuck E. Cheese and Disney still exist. Didn't want that type of connotation. So that's how it kind of got pushed. This is all in the 80s. I mean, I think it, the Internet's also, the Internet's also built a ton of lore. And so, you know, for a lot of this it's all just a theory. But it really got nuts. And I think there were more. The where the Internet got nuts was that they were saying like that the animatronics were at a certain point doing it on their own.

[Amanda]

Yeah, like, but, well, yeah, the Internet, you have to be really careful with Internet and crime stories because they go off. And it's funny because I was going to come back at you guys with.

[Austin James]

All my murder shows and we knew.

[Shane]

It and you guys never knew it.

[Austin James]

This one before me, you had never heard of Freddy Faz.

[Amanda]

I hadn't. But what I was saying is like, you know, like the, the murder show about the Hotel Cecil, the Cecile Hotel. It, it turns out that like all of that was just like web sleuths, like their opinions. So I, I, I sometimes I stay away from commenters, but there are some people who are pretty on point, like on TikTok and YouTube that you're just like, holy Matt, he's matpat.

[Austin James]

Yeah, that's his name.

[Shane]

Yeah. So, well, after the bite of. It's. It's called, like, the bite of 83. Like, if you look up, like, the bite of 83. But then, like, the thing was like the. So this is kind of where the movie comes in. Because the thing was like, the owner killed these, like, these kids and put them in the animatronic suits, like, so that, like, he put their body.

[Austin James]

Would hide the bodies in there. Like.

[Shane]

But, like, obviously, like, possession's not real. Like, blah, blah, blah. That's not real. But then the movie. The movie's like, oh, like. But, like, what if, like, those two were possessed? Like, blah, blah, blah.

[Amanda]

See, you talk about, like, getting, like, addicted to games. That's what I get addicted to.

[Shane]

Like, these stories.

[Amanda]

Angela and I, we always trade stories, but I will go for hours digging in to. Oh, I go rabbit hole so deep. I also go rabbit hole. Like, if I'm watching a movie and I see someone that I like, an actor, I'll go in a rabbit hole in their life.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

So I get nerdy when I watch movies. I'm like, oh, yeah, that guy was with this person and he did this other movie and that director, blah, blah. And my sister's like, can you just. That's what I get nerdy about. I get nerdy about.

[Austin James]

So what we're talking about is something you would technically nerd out about.

[Amanda]

Oh, you know. You know, later I'm going to Google shocked.

[Austin James]

You haven't heard about the bite of 83. Yeah, well, I thought it was the bite of 82.

[Shane]

No, there's the bite of 80.

[Austin James]

It's by the way, three. Yeah, no, it's well known. It's super well known. Yeah, you would love Matpat stuff.

[Amanda]

Matpat, great name.

[Austin James]

Yeah. True crime.

[Amanda]

Yeah, True crime is my geek.

[Austin James]

How you've missed out on arguably the best true crime channel on YouTube.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Austin James]

Yeah. Looks like we're the experts.

[Amanda]

I don't think so. I don't think so. I wrote down.

[Amanda]

Okay, guys, I get it. All right. Fucking. I get it.

[Austin James]

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Hey. Hey. This was Pat.

[Austin James]

And what was that? William Afton was the name of the guy.

[Shane]

Was the.

[Austin James]

Yeah, William Afton.

[Amanda]

I can't believe I missed out on that. Sometimes I'll go on Netflix and be like, what is this about? Night Stalker? Like sometimes I'll miss out on huge ones. But like the small random like the murder in, you know, Cork, Ireland or something. I'm like, oh, I know everything about that.

[Austin James]

This all happened in Utah.

[Amanda]

Utah. Oh, Utah, man, why. Why do so many murders happen in the like Utah, Illinois.

[Shane]

Like nothing else going on out there. Yeah, it's all the damn repression.

[Amanda]

They tried to true east coast too.

[Austin James]

Utah tried to have one. Utah tried to make their own Chuck E. Cheese. And this is how it went.

[Amanda]

Oh God.

[Tommy]

There's a guy that I miss. He was on TikTok and he disappeared off of TikTok. I think I found him on Instagram recently.

[Amanda]

You showed me him, right?

[Tommy]

Yeah, yeah. This is Tommy Recommendation hour on TikTok. He was getting fit with Lee Howard.

[Austin James]

Okay.

[Tommy]

And he's this 58 year old sun baked white guy who wears like a bandana instead of hair. Cause he's like balding and he's like really slim and he wears these like really tight leggings and it's like all about his like freaky bulge and like his like plump old man ass. And so he. It's. Okay. So basically it starts and he's like, oh, let me see if I can get his voice. Cause it's really scary. Yeah, you got it. He's like trying to speak gentle, but there's all of this anger in the background and it's so fascinating. Cause he'll be like, hold on, let me sing. He's like, hey, welcome to the party.

[Amanda]

How are you today?

[Tommy]

I feel like sunshine. And then it'll cut to him like fast forward dancing and it'll be like. And then it'll flip around and then he'll like take the phone and show his crotch and show his ass and then he'll be on a bicycle and then it's just like, it's like manic anger in an old man.

[Austin James]

It's not a joke. No, he's being for real. Yes, yes. That's incredible.

[Tommy]

He's. I really like. There was a minute there where I was like, I need to take two months off of Smosh, get a documentary crew, find this man and interview him.

[Amanda]

But he deleted his.

[Tommy]

He deleted his TikTok.

[Austin James]

What?

[Amanda]

Deleted his TikTok.

[Austin James]

Is he anywhere else?

[Tommy]

He's on Instagram in the mountains. He also makes music and it's not bad.

[Austin James]

Whoa.

[Tommy]

I don't know.

[Amanda]

Whoa. Really?

[Tommy]

Yes. He like, plays. I mean, it's all.

[Amanda]

Oh, boy.

[Austin James]

[Tommy]

He did the wrong drugs at Woodstock.

[Amanda]

Is what he did.

[Austin James]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

He's really angry, but he wants everyone to experience nature.

[Tommy]

Why isn't everyone dancing?

[Amanda]

Yes. Yes. It's like, ah.

[Tommy]

Calm down.

[Austin James]

Your. For you page is the most incredible for you page I've ever seen.

[Tommy]

Thank you.

[Austin James]

Tommy will send me TikTok sometimes or just show me. And you find tick tocks. It'll have like four likes.

[Tommy]

That's right.

[Austin James]

And it is somehow so funny. Yeah. You had just. It's just an old person doing a filter.

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Austin James]

And you showed us one a second ago. It was like this old lady and it's just like going through these filters and it just says, you will never find love. I know. And then she's just there, just like.

[Amanda]

I know. And Tommy introduces me to so many amazing things. You introduced me to. What was it called? Palm Beach.

[Tommy]

Class of Palm beach, it's this woman that goes around Palm beach county, which is where I'm from. So Palm beach county, there's the rich part and then there's the retirement, not rich part. And that's where I grew up, which is why I was like, I gotta get out of here. So much death. So Class of Palm beach is basically this woman who you never see. She's always. You hear her voice, she's recording. She like finds these old people that are like, dressed up all the way, like Gucci, all the brand names. And they always have like the weirdest, like, plastic surgery face, or they're like decrepit. Or they have like their husband who's like, no, no, don't film me.

[Amanda]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He plays golf all day. And they just get dressed.

[Tommy]

Yes, they get dressed all day and they walk around and they go home.

[Amanda]

And they walk around and they go home and it's very that Florida colors. Like bright pink.

[Tommy]

Yes.

[Amanda]

Like kind of a. Like a bright blue or like a neon green. And they're done up and this woman interviews them. She goes, what are you wearing?

[Tommy]

Well, I'm wearing Gucci top.

[Amanda]

And then I've got these pants and.

[Tommy]

These from River Mouse.

[Austin James]

Yep.

[Tommy]

And my shoes.

[Austin James]

You don't want to know how old those are. Yeah.

[Tommy]

Then it's like, you should come to my house. It's always like, whoa.

[Amanda]

And they're done ups so intensely to be like, yeah, well, this is. This is a Prada. And they're. And they're just the plastic. Nothing is moving in their body. And they're on the street and they're kind of like, ready to. Ready to go somewhere, but they're stuck there. And they're literally done up like they're going to a party.

[Tommy]

Yep. It's the best.

[Amanda]

One of the greatest TikToks.

[Tommy]

It's just like a great, like, visual character study, you know, you're like, wow, look at these rich old ladies.

[Austin James]

Your TikTok feed is almost entirely old people. Is there anyone under 50 on your page?

[Tommy]

Yes, I have plenty of medium age people. Since doing more TikTok stuff for Smosh, my for you page is shifting to more regular things, which is a tragedy. But it's worth it to know what actually is because it's like when I made us do that one inside meme about the. The Chinese trading company or whatever, and that, like, flopped. I'm like, right. Because I'm doing something that's based on my for you page.

[Austin James]

I got served a couple of those.

[Tommy]

Yeah, okay.

[Austin James]

Yeah, I got that. That had high views. So I don't. It's love is. There's so much. Right. There's so much of it. And I don't know what people. Who we are on their feed, what they're. What.

[Kiana]

They're getting Internet things. I don't know that Amanda knows, but she should.

[Amanda]

Okay, thank you, Kiana.

[Austin James]

See if I know them.

[Kiana]

It's the one thick B meme trend.

[Amanda]

Absolutely not.

[Austin James]

I don't think I know this.

[Amanda]

Yes. Yes. Fuck you.

[Kiana]

I need to try and open TikTok for this.

[Austin James]

And it one thick.

[Amanda]

Okay. Alexina knows it on safari because that's. Oh, my God. I feel so much better that you don't know it. Not that I, like, want you to fail.

[Kiana]

Probably.

[Austin James]

Like, you could share this doc.

[Kiana]

It's just mostly the audio, right? Like, so it's literally this.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God. I think I actually know what this fucking is. I think it's giving people big asses.

[Kiana]

So there was this trend on.

[Amanda]

Am I wrong?

[Kiana]

There we go.

[Amanda]

I think I know what this is.

[Kiana]

So there used to be these, like, apps where you could type in words and then it would just turn it into a song. And so this just became a trend online.

[Austin James]

I. I haven't heard this, but that. That slaps one thick, man.

[Amanda]

Mr. Crab always had that thick ass.

[Kiana]

Here's another one.

[Austin James]

Yeah, yeah. Mr. Crab's got. He's got the crab cakes.

[Amanda]

Nice Here's a Wario. I eat crab cakes, so you better get out of here, man.

[Kiana]

There's a Wario one.

[Austin James]

[Austin James]

Well, Wario's got it. Hello, Wario.

[Amanda]

[Austin James]

Wario's got that shit.

[Kiana]

Where's the audio? It's.

[Amanda]

I love a nice dumpy.

[Austin James]

Wario's got that buca di Beppo, you know?

[Amanda]

Oh, baby. Oh, my God. Wait, this is so funny.

[Kiana]

It was an app that you could just type those.

[Austin James]

That's fucking. Now.

[Amanda]

Kiana knows that we know, and now she's gonna watch this back and know that you didn't know.

[Austin James]

I know. I didn't know that one.

[Kiana]

The baby girlification of adult men. She said, I brought this up in a meeting and I lost Amanda.

[Austin James]

Yeah, the baby girl ification.

[Kiana]

So it's like when men do baby girl things and I have.

[Amanda]

Wait, this sounds familiar.

[Kiana]

I can show you. Yeah, because she said she brought it up in a meeting with you and she lost you.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah. It's very easy to know when you. I'm. I'm. I've. I've left the building.

[Kiana]

I'm gonna find this. There's. There's a Jo Santagato Baby girl edit where it's just moments of him being a baby girl.

[Austin James]

If it's the pope and he comes up to you and he says, kiss me.

[Kiana]

This literally is in my liked already. Do you mind?

[Austin James]

These are the. These are the.

[Kiana]

I showed Shane basement yard, obsessed with those little boys.

[Austin James]

This is the basement yard we. That we need to get on our podcast at some point, because I think you'd love talking to them.

[Kiana]

Okay, ready?

[Amanda]

They're hilarious.

[Austin James]

If it's the pope and he comes up to you and he says, kiss me, you're gonna ask me. No, he's not.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Austin James]

No, you can't demand me to kiss you.

[Tommy]

I'm not gonna.

[Amanda]

Can you kiss me?

[Austin James]

I'd be like, I can.

[Amanda]

Will you kiss me?

[Austin James]

I don't know. You're being a flirty little bitch. I plan on throwing the appropriate amount of ass just to get a pina colada.

[Amanda]

Oh, I get it. It's like baby girl for 25 seconds. I got it.

[Kiana]

It's like straight adult men who are getting a little baby girl.

[Amanda]

Baby girl. This episode is brought to you by Amazon. The holidays are here, and you know what that means. It's time to get your friends and family the gifts they deserve. Take the stress out of shopping. With Amazon's great deals and low prices on a huge range of items from toys to Tech and much more. Whoever you're gifting for, Amazon has great prices on everything you need. This holiday season, shop Amazon for all your gifting needs. Wait, that happens all the time?

[Austin James]

I think it happens. I think it's just men being comfortable with their sexuality.

[Kiana]

Exactly.

[Austin James]

I thought this was gonna also. I feel like in tandem. It's the conversation about the new type of guy that's existed for the past couple years of the mullet mustache tucked in shirt bag. Like, just like that kind of vibe. And I think girls are saying they don't know how they feel about it.

[Kiana]

Oh, we know.

[Austin James]

Really into it. Some are like. Some are like, be wary. I've heard. I've heard mixed things.

[Amanda]

Be wary of a mullet.

[Austin James]

Be wary of, like this whole vibe where it's kind of like this guy. It's. I think it's like ultra, like, progressive guy. Right. And it's like, should I believe it?

[Amanda]

The only reason why I'm wary is because that weird guy in Love is Blind was on it and had a mullet and was a.

[Austin James]

Exactly.

[Kiana]

That's a different type of guy. To be clear, he's too beefy.

[Austin James]

This is a little bit more like musician.

[Amanda]

No.

[Kiana]

There's a tick tock sound that's viral right now where it's like, I just love when a woman has a little gay boyfriend.

[Austin James]

Yeah.

[Kiana]

Because he has his little vintage jeans, his tote bag, and his mustache he's probably wearing. And he says bottoms. And people think that it's. It's her gay friend. And he's like, no, I make. I make love to this woman. Like, like, and it is a new guy. But that is a different type of guy. I think the baby girl of vacation. Like, there are Baby girl compilations of Shane, of Shane being Baby girl.

[Amanda]

Baby girl. Often, often.

[Kiana]

Baby girl. I say, yeah.

[Amanda]

Am I baby boy sometimes?

[Kiana]

What is Baby boy?

[Amanda]

Baby boys are just made up because.

[Austin James]

No, you're. You're. You're Big Scary man.

[Amanda]

Yeah. I don't think it's Baby Boy. I think it's Big scary man. Get off my property. Big scary man. I am that gun owner. Get off my property.

[Austin James]

Oh, that's so Big scary man of you.

[Amanda]

It's Tommy Lee Jones of me. Hello.

[Austin James]

How Tom Selleck of you.

[Amanda]

I'm U.S. marshal. Get off my fucking property. Baby man. Baby man. Best compliment ever.

[Kiana]

Amazing.

[Amanda]

I just don't care.

[Austin James]

Have you seen the Tim Allen doom mode?

[Amanda]

No.

[Austin James]

Where they replaced. So this is.

[Amanda]

This is Tim Allen in the Santa Claus or Tim Allen and Home Improvement.

[Austin James]

Home Improvement So it's Home Improvement. I like how I know that. It's Home Improvement. And have you seen this? I've seen this. Okay. This is classic.

[Tommy]

So.

[Austin James]

So somebody modded Doom, and they just replaced all the assets with Tim Allen. And you see, they're all coming at you. They're all doing the thing, and it's good stuff, right? Yeah.

[Amanda]

Wait, that's so funny. I loved Home Improvement.

[Austin James]

Well, then you're gonna love what was.

[Amanda]

The man behind the Fence. I hate that. Okay. I kind of hate that. Damn. I missed out on such a funny, funny world.

[Austin James]

They tweet. The whole Internet loves milkshake duck. A lovely duck that drinks milkshakes. Five seconds later, we regret to inform you the duck is racist.

[Amanda]

Racist satisfaction.

[Austin James]

The. That is the whole joke. And the idea is that whenever someone becomes a viral sensation, they are basically canceled. They immediately get canceled because we discover all of their past. One of the most recent ones is. Well, actually, what's crazy. We'll go back even further. That was tweeted in June of 2016. Then October of 2016, Ken Bone, who I've talked about several times now, I.

[Amanda]

Know about Ken Bone.

[Austin James]

He became instantly famous as this, like, sweet, endearing, like, impartial guy who's undecided on the election. And then he did a Reddit ama, and then people discovered his Reddit history, and it was crazy. He had a lot of questionable stuff. But some other instances of this. There was Zoom cat lawyer in 2021. In 2021, when people were doing Zoom meetings and stuff, there was these lawyers that were. That were talking. It was probably over, like, a case or something. And he had a filter of a kitten over his camera. And he's freaking out. In the Zoom call, he's like, guys, I'm not a cat. I'm not a cat. He's freaking out. He doesn't know how to get the filter off. You know how you can have filters?

[Amanda]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Austin James]

Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings. You might want to.

[Tommy]

Can you hear me, Judge?

[Austin James]

I can hear you.

[Tommy]

I think it's a filter. It is, and I don't know how to remove it.

[Austin James]

I've got my assistant here. She's trying to.

[Tommy]

But I'm prepared to go forward with it. I'm here live.

[Austin James]

I'm not a cat. I can see that. It became huge. Everyone was like, this is so funny. And then within 24 hours, people learned. It came out that he had used federal agents to torment a former lover. With drug raids and bogus charges back in 2014.

[Shane]

Oh, my God.

[Austin James]

So that's diabolical. That's crazy.

[Amanda]

What?

[Austin James]

Yes. So he became.

[Amanda]

So the universe purposely put the kitten on him.

[Austin James]

I think that kitten thing was there to expose him. Not only is it just like, oh, he tweeted some crazy stuff. It's like, oh, you full on were psycho.

[Amanda]

Do you think a hacker did that?

[Austin James]

No, no, no, no. I think it was all an accident. But it shows, like, becoming super famous. You better not have dirt anyways.

[Amanda]

Hi, Shane. How are you?

[Austin James]

Good. How's it going?

[Amanda]

Hope all is well.

[Austin James]

Yeah, things are going good.

[Kiana]

Sometimes when we like to sit and show each other funny tiktoks and I have to go, I like a lot of Sabrina's Carpenters tiktoks that I'm like, don't look at her. I keep scrolling, scroll past.

[Austin James]

And I'm like, I don't care, but I do.

[Amanda]

Wow, that's. That sounds like good stuff. When my husband shows me it is the dumbest videos I've ever seen. He showed me just yesterday. He was crying tears, and he showed me this video, and I was like, okay. It was a kid telling his dad. He's like, I don't know where my balls are. My balls are gone. My balls are missing, dad. And the dad's like, your balls are right there. He's like, no, they literally are gone. They sucked in my body. And he's like, seven or eight. And the dad's like. The dad's like, from Jersey. He's like, go back to the. Go back to the bathroom. Look in the mirror. Your balls are there. And he's like, no, dad, they're gone. And I'm sitting there on my Instagram, like. And Garde's tears streaming, and I go, does that happen often? He goes, yeah, sometimes your balls are just gone. And I was like, awesome. That was a great time. Awesome. So those are the shit that he sends me. Great.

[Kiana]

We have one video that I feel like is never viral enough. The Replenish video.

[Austin James]

Oh, yeah. Replenish is a. That's a. That's a legendary.

[Kiana]

Yeah, that's one of those where it's kind of like, my balls are going. It's like, no, they're there. It's just, like, very, like, family dynamics.

[Austin James]

It's this family, and they're having an argument. The parents come upstairs, and they're holding an empty Dr. Pepper soda can box.

[Kiana]

Yeah.

[Austin James]

And they're just like, what the fuck, Mikey? You didn't replenish, like, when you take Dr. Peppers from the, from the fridge, you need to replenish them. And they're having this huge argument and it's so fucking funny.

[Kiana]

It's like a cousin is staying over.

[Austin James]

For the holidays, not having it. And the dad eventually calls up, like his brother, like the uncle, and he's like, he's like, hey, so when you, when you take a soda out, when.

[Emma Chamberlain]

We were kids, when we were kids.

[Austin James]

You took a soda out of the fridge, what would you do? And then you hear the uncle on the other line go, well, you, you replenish. And then the uncle goes, goes, well, I think this is a microcosm of bigger issues. And then the cousin just like, that's it, I'm out of here.

[Tommy]

He just leaves.

[Austin James]

It's so funny.

[Amanda]

How old is the cousin?

[Austin James]

This is twenties.

[Amanda]

Oh God.

[Kiana]

It's literally like the dad's like, when.

[Amanda]

We were with a kid, when we.

[Kiana]

Would go to the basement, get a.

[Amanda]

Soda from the fridge, what would we do?

[Kiana]

He's like, you replenish.

[Amanda]

What the fuck, Danny?

[Kiana]

Doesn't fucking replenish.

[Austin James]

It's so good. It's a classic. My feed, there's two that are incredible. There's a guy that is real, a real guy, and his name is EL Campion. And I don't know if I don't think this has got to be only on my feed. So this is on the most insane parts of like weightlifting TikTok. And he's this guy, he's very. Not like, he's not out of shape, but he's just like, not Buffalo necessarily. He's a guy, He's a guy. He's a normal looking guy, but he, he goes to the gym, he goes to different gyms. He wears full on like work boots, but with like this like skin tight, like workout clothing. The rest of it. He's always got three, like belts on, like those weightlifting belts. He's always got like, he puts on three of them and he's, he's. He does it because he says it's motivational and he's like doing it for God, whatever. But he always goes up to any machine or any lift and he puts on the most weight you possibly can. So he'll go up to like one of those machine like chest presses where you put the plates on. He fills it up entirely with all the plates and then he'll like put bands around it and put more plates on it and he'll be like doing this for God. And he sits down and then like, doesn't Actually do the lift. He'll just be like. He'll just like, dad, dad. And then he'll be like. He'll be like. And like a squat with all of them. Which, mind you, he died.

[Tommy]

Oh, yeah, he's kind of crunching.

[Austin James]

No, the jokes, the comments are always like, I see it's spine day again. Or like, oh, my God. And then he'll go up and he'll have like all these weights on the squat, and then he'll just like, sort of lift it. Like, just like.

[Tommy]

Is he at least on those. The ones that, like the. That has like a safety rail.

[Austin James]

It's free. It's a open rack. No, no, no, no, no. He could possibly die. What is wrong?

[Amanda]

What is wrong with this man?

[Austin James]

Well, he's doing it for God. No, it's so.

[Amanda]

Oh, it's for God.

[Austin James]

The term that I'm sure the term is called ego lifting, when you're just like lifting weights that you can't actually do. But there's another guy that I've seen a couple times. I don't know this guy's name, but he's like this old dude. He's always got a bandana and like old school, like, CD player in. And for some reason it's always like leg raise. And he'll be about to get on this machine, but he'll just get himself fucking amped. Like, so amped. He starts yelling. He'll. And he'll just be like, he's like hitting himself. He's like, ah. And then he'll get on the leg raise and he'll just like be doing it, but like so fast and crazy. And he's yelling while he's doing it. It's awesome. He'll be like.

[Amanda]

They watched Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary once. No, like, yeah, sounds good. Oh, my God, what the hell?

[Austin James]

It is awesome. No, the weightlifting TikTok. It's weird. I've got. I'm finally getting away from weightlifting TikTok. It got really bad for a while and I was like, why is this all of my feed? And now that stuff happened and I'm.

[Amanda]

Like, all right, mine, I'm full. I kind of like that. I feel like my feed is all like, are you feeling tired? Are you feeling sick? You have high cortisol levels, babe. Like, here's the powder to get you down. It's all like, are you a middle aged woman with that belly? We're gonna get cortisol. And I'm like, damn it. It's like, hey, guys. Like, honestly, ladies, we've got to bring our nerves down, our nervous system down. Put your head in ice water and we've got to do this awesome drink. Say awesome drink in my comments and I'll give you my awesome drink. And one time I was like, okay, awesome drink.

[Austin James]

No. Yeah, well, that's what your feet is.

[Amanda]

Just water, ginger, lemon. I'm like, bitch, please. That's like heavily. My feed is like wellness, babe. Don't worry about it. Yeah, of course I'm watching the whole thing.

[Tommy]

Yeah, that's why it's on your feet.

[Amanda]

Well, I also probably have high cortisol levels, so I need. Here's the thing. They all tell me that I have high cortisol levels. I have still not figured out how to bring down my cortisol levels.

[Emma Chamberlain]

This is not a real thing. But people truly believe that Louis and Harry.

[Amanda]

What's crazy is they're on the same side next to Shane.

[Austin James]

That's not a coincidence.

[Emma Chamberlain]

That's not a coincidence. None of it is.

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Emma Chamberlain]

People truly believe that they are in a secret relationship because management will not let them publicly be out. Mind you, they are no longer with the same management that they were with in One Direction. People to this day still believe that they are hiding it. And they have honest, honestly, some of it is really good, believable research. But a lot of it is like, okay, that's a stretch. So we're going to get into it, okay?

[Amanda]

They think because they have the same management, management wouldn't let them out. Meaning like coming out or going out together?

[Austin James]

Both. They need to be straight dudes to keep the girl. Fan base.

[Amanda]

Fan base going. But they don't have the same management anymore.

[Emma Chamberlain]

No, they were under the same management when they were in One Direction. And it started on X Factor because in the video diaries, they were young teenage boys. They were very close. They were goofing around as teenage boys do, and people were convinced that they were dating because of it. And I think at first it became kind of like lighthearted shipping and like they leaned into it a little bit, but it just, it got really deep.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Emma Chamberlain]

And into a dark, scary place. There was in the beginning, they even started a movement, I think. What was it called? It was time to come out Larry. Because the Larry's believed that if they did this, management would see that the fan base wasn't homophobic and then they would let them come out.

[Amanda]

Can you give me the definition of Larry?

[Emma Chamberlain]

Larry is a conspiracy that Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles are in a private relationship because management won't let Them and they're shipping Mary Stylinson.

[Amanda]

That's all it is.

[Austin James]

This is now a very well. Have you not heard of, like, people say Amangela?

[Amanda]

Oh, a million times.

[Austin James]

Yeah, yeah. Or like, you know, Shamian and E. Anthony.

[Amanda]

There's a court. Mangela. So I guess we're having a threesome.

[Austin James]

Yeah. No. It's fascinating that it's kind of a common thing now because as soon as I began, I knew about E. Anthony, that Smosh fans, there's a sect of them that still hold that they are in love.

[Amanda]

But is it always shipping their names together? Does that always mean.

[Kiana]

My dad works in B2B marketing.

[Amanda]

He came by my school for career.

[Kiana]

Day and said he was a big roas man. Then he told everyone how much he loved calculating his return on ad spend. My friends still laugh at me to this day.

[Austin James]

Not everyone gets B2B, but with LinkedIn, you'll be able to reach people who do. Get $100 credit on your next ad campaign. Go to LinkedIn.com campaign to claim your credit. That's LinkedIn.com campaign. Terms and conditions apply.

[Amanda]

LinkedIn the place to be. To be sexual.

[Austin James]

No, I don't think so.

[Amanda]

I don't think so.

[Austin James]

I think it's changed.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Harry and Niall had a really big bromance and they were nary. People loved them. You can ship them in a platonic friendship way, but Larry, people took it very seriously.

[Austin James]

I think it's a mixture of everything, but it's always been interesting to me. And I wasn't really aware of it until I was on smosh of like, oh, certain fans want this to happen.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah.

[Austin James]

And I'm like, that's fascinating.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So, okay, we'll get into the beginning.

[Amanda]

What else do you have?

[Austin James]

A knife.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Okay, so this.

[Amanda]

A knife cut your hands and we will put our blood together.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So it is known that Harry and Louis met at the urinals at X Factor. And we know this because Harry tweeted, I'm glad I was stood next to you at the urinals. If I had to get someone's pee splash on me, I'd much rather have your pee than his.

[Austin James]

That's the most 2010 tweet.

[Emma Chamberlain]

This is very true. And this is about Louis. And so this is where, like, the romance rumors begin. Because Harry has a tattoo of high and Louis has a tattoo of oops. And in Larry's minds, that was the first conversation that they had when they were at the urinals and they tattooed it to commemorate Their first meeting.

[Amanda]

Pee all over you. Let's get that tattooed. What? You ever seen a Tommy Lee Jones movie?

[Austin James]

Yes.

[Amanda]

All right, let's move on.

[Austin James]

I've watched the Fugitive.

[Amanda]

There's more than that.

[Austin James]

I've watched Men in Black.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So many references. I do not know.

[Austin James]

You don't know Men in Black?

[Amanda]

I know that one. You don't know the Fugitive. All right, we'll move on. It's too sad.

[Kiana]

Okay.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So Larry deepens, partly because Louis and Harry kind of lean into it a little bit.

[Austin James]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I mean.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Cause they're friends. They have banter, you know, Like, Harry admits in an interview that, like, his first crush was Louis. They would flirt on Twitter, like, a lot. Like, for example. I think that's fine.

[Austin James]

I think this is.

[Amanda]

I think that's fine. I don't know if I printed it.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Out, but there's this one iconic tweet where, like, Louie's, like, Harry Styles is always in my heart. And this is the second most liked tweet ever.

[Amanda]

In the world.

[Emma Chamberlain]

In the world. Next to Ellen's Oscar selfie.

[Austin James]

Oh, and that's such a good one.

[Amanda]

That's such a good one.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So they were, like, a little bit aware. They were, like, leaning in a little bit.

[Austin James]

How were you feeling about Larry at this time?

[Emma Chamberlain]

I was never a Larry. I thought it was a little, like, odd.

[Amanda]

Well, you didn't want it to happen because you wanted to marry Harry, right?

[Emma Chamberlain]

I wanted to marry Harry.

[Austin James]

So it'd be heartbreaking, Right.

[Emma Chamberlain]

I think also a big part of the Larry's was, like, pressuring people to come out, which I don't agree with. I think that's kind of the weird side of it.

[Austin James]

Yeah.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Like, if it was true, I think you should let people come out on their own accord.

[Austin James]

Of course.

[Amanda]

Definitely explore theirselves.

[Emma Chamberlain]

But it just got a little, like, crazy.

[Austin James]

Like, they.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So, like, they moved in with each other, Harry and Louis. Oh. And so then people. People think they have a song called 18 that I'm pretty sure was written by, like, Ed Sheeran. Not even them. But they're convinced that the song is about them because the lyrics are, what? I've loved you since we were 18, and Louis was 18 when they moved in with each other and Harry was 16. But Larry's pointed out that you move in with people typically when you're 18. So what they probably meant with the lyrics was that, like, Harry felt like he was 18, and so they wrote the song about that moment.

[Austin James]

Okay.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So there's, like, stuff like that.

[Amanda]

I feel like you and me are having our daughter home for a vacation. And we're like, so, what's been going on? Wait a second. They probably had to move in together because I feel like if they're that young in a band, they all have to room with each other.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Friends.

[Amanda]

And they were BFFs.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Best friends.

[Austin James]

Yeah, they sound like their best buds.

[Emma Chamberlain]

No, they were deeply in love, and that's why they moved in. They asked the guys in an interview. They're like, hey, like, what's going on with these, like, gay little bears? And they're like.

[Amanda]

The guy's like, hello, Harry. What's going on with these gay little bears? Channel 7.

[Austin James]

And Harry's like, yeah, so the music we're making is coming along great.

[Amanda]

He's like, but the gay little bears?

[Emma Chamberlain]

Well, everyone freaks out because all of the boys look to Louie. And so they're like, Louis starts them, and then Harry goes, oh, we don't know. That's just something our crew does. But the fans are like, the crew doesn't have time to change these bears and put them up every show. It's clearly Louis and Harry because they have open schedules. They're not busy at all. And that's the lore behind the gay little bondage bears.

[Austin James]

As busy as any sort of set or production can get. You end up with so much time.

[Emma Chamberlain]

As a crew member. I have plenty of time to.

[Austin James]

It's like days of. You can't breathe, and it's like days of just. Well, you have nothing to do with it.

[Amanda]

Yeah, exactly.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Right? Yeah. So that's that lore.

[Austin James]

Damn.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Austin James]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I had no idea.

[Austin James]

That's hilarious.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Yeah. So that was a big. Honestly, though, like, at a certain point, I even believed the bears because it was like, who is doing this? And the Larry the Crew choosing to. To agree that Larry was a thing. I don't know. It's weird.

[Austin James]

You know what I just. You know what I just realized? I said hilarious. Hi, Larry. Us.

[Emma Chamberlain]

It's everywhere. It's all connected.

[Austin James]

It's all confirmed.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Well, have you guys heard about 28?

[Austin James]

28? The number 28?

[Emma Chamberlain]

Yeah. Have you heard about 28?

[Amanda]

No, this.

[Emma Chamberlain]

So this is, in my opinion, probably what confirms it. Okay, so Louis soccer number is 28. And he has a tattoo of 28.

[Austin James]

Okay.

[Amanda]

And on September and Harry turned 28.

[Emma Chamberlain]

He did at some point on September 28th of 2013, Ed Sheeran tweets, my best friend is getting married today. Mega awesome. Wicked cool. Ed Sheeran, famously friends with Harry Styles. So fans speculate this must be About Larry. The next day, Harry tweets, we don't need no piece of paper from city hall. Weird timing. No. His mom then tweets, good decision, Louis. Harry's mom tweets, good decision, Louis. So people think, yeah, that's how it works, actually. What else would they be talking about? They were married on September 28th.

[Amanda]

You're so right.

[Emma Chamberlain]

And then it gets deeper.

[Amanda]

He was like, babe, I wanna get married with your soccer number.

[Emma Chamberlain]

No, it gets deeper because Harry, he has a solo career, right? He performs tracks two and eight on SNL. And what is that? That's 28.

[Austin James]

That's 28. No.

[Amanda]

Oh.

[Emma Chamberlain]

And then July 21, Harry has his first movie premiere, and Louis releases his second song. What? 7/21.

[Austin James]

20.

[Amanda]

28.

[Emma Chamberlain]

And then August 28th, Harry announces a world tour that's going to start September 19th. What's 9 +19?

[Amanda]

28. 28.

[Austin James]

Holy shit.

[Amanda]

Holy crap.

[Austin James]

This is, like. This is gonna. This is real. Yeah. You know, as someone who got married secretly, from our fan base, I can say, like, Courtney and I had these types of plans.

[Emma Chamberlain]

Right. What was your number?

[Austin James]

Our number was 69.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Austin James]

12.

[Emma Chamberlain]

And that's hidden in all content.

[Amanda]

Do you know what 1 plus 2 is?

[Kiana]

3.

[Austin James]

And times 4?

[Amanda]

12. I literally didn't even know that. That's insane.

[Austin James]

And I feel we cannot end this stream without being honest with you. I think another one. Um. There's another game called Five Nights at Freddy's.

[Shane]

Jesus.

[Austin James]

Where you're a security guard at a pizzeria in Utah, and there are animatronics that are alive with ghosts.

[Amanda]

That should be a game.

[Shane]

It is a game.

[Austin James]

That is. It is a game. So we should play it the entire. We were unfortunately lying. It's made up. No.

[Shane]

There was no bite of 80.

[Austin James]

There's no bite of 83. I can't. I can't end this podcast just leaving that.

[Shane]

Matpat has this show called Game Theory where he, like, kind of like. He, like, kind of, like. Cause Fire Nights at Freddy's is, like, a very simple game where you're, like, kind of looking at security things and the animatronics coming, like. But, like, he's, like, kind of. He's pieced together the story from all these different things.

[Austin James]

Five Nights at Freddy's is a video game series. So everything we told you is.

[Amanda]

You guys feel so bad. You guys made me feel so bad about murder, okay? To be fair, that is my thing.

[Shane]

Do you know how hard it was to say all that with a straight face?

[Austin James]

I almost lost it.

[Amanda]

Did you guys plan this ahead?

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Austin James]

Yeah, we did. We talked about this. We were going to convince you because we knew that we could convince you.

[Shane]

That we knew that you were probably, like, the one. I mean, a lot of, like, the bite of 83 is such, like, a.

[Amanda]

Meme, because wasn't it bite of 82? No. 83.

[Shane]

Yeah. There's also bite of 87.

[Amanda]

Oh, wow.

[Austin James]

That was crazy.

[Amanda]

That was. I didn't know anything.

[Austin James]

But now you do.

[Amanda]

Thank God.

[Austin James]

Well, we hope you enjoyed this. Thank you for watching this. And next week, we will be back.

[Amanda]

To our regular scheduled programming.

[Austin James]

Yeah, that's right.

[Amanda]

No more whoopsies.

[Austin James]

No more whoopsies for me.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Austin James]

Okay.

[Amanda]

All right.

[Austin James]

Bye.

[Amanda]

Goodbye. Now.
