Probably. You've probably heard of Gamergate.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

[Shane]

Okay, it's totally fine. No, it's. It's totally fine. It. 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. Okay, Good Friday. Of course.

[Shane]

There we go.

[Amanda]

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

Probably.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I know about that.

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. 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? It's bad.

[Shane]

There's no defending it.

[Amanda]

It's so.

[Shane]

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.

[Amanda]

Jesus.

[Shane]

Yeah, she's crushing it. Okay. Have you ever heard of Bronies?

You're gonna be obsessed with this. I can't wait to show you. All right, those were some that I listed. Now we're going to get into some that I'm going to tell you about. And even if you are aware of them, I think it'll be fun to talk about. Can I go through my list really quick and see? Because 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, like, a lot of YouTube web stories on here, but. Okay. Salad fingers.

[Amanda]

I know salad fingers.

[Shane]

Okay. Okay.

[Amanda]

I actually watched a lot of YouTube in college.

[Shane]

Okay. All right.

[Amanda]

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

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

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

[Shane]

Like, it's 10 years ago when everyone was doing salad fingers impressions. Loss. I don't think I know what this is. You guys don't know Loss.

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

Loss. Loss.

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

Oh, man. I don't know if I can explain loss. Okay. We don't have to get into loss. Happy tree friends. Yeah.

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

No. Okay. Charlie, the Unicorn?

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

No horse. Wow. You don't know Charlie the unicorn.

[Amanda]

I don't think I do. Like I said, visual. If I saw it, maybe.

[Shane]

Okay, There's. There were, like, challenges that went around that were, like, very, like, dangerous. Like people were dying from them. So there's like, the cinnamon challenge.

[Amanda]

I know about the cinnamon challenge.

[Shane]

What about Tide pods? People eating Tide pods.

[Amanda]

I have heard about Tide pods. Okay.

[Shane]

What about the Benadryl challenge? I haven't heard about the.

[Amanda]

No Benadryl challenge.

[Shane]

That's a recent one. Kids are just eating a bunch of Benadryl. Okay. Okay. Yeah. What sucks is we made a shirt for a team that wasn't a real team called the Snow rombays. And we really wanted. We really wanted Snow Rhombes to be a team.

[Amanda]

Wait, I don't get. I don't get it.

[Shane]

Do you know about Harambe?

[Amanda]

Are you okay?

[Shane]

Jesus Christ.

[Amanda]

No, I don't get it.

[Shane]

Okay. Have you ever heard of Harambe?

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

You've never heard of Harambe?

[Amanda]

No.

[Shane]

Okay. Amanda, I'm not. I'm not going to do the thing that I've done before. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm telling you the truth. Harambe was a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo. I can't believe I'm telling. I can't believe you've ever heard of Harambe.

[Amanda]

He was a gorilla that was at the Massachusetts.

[Shane]

He was at the Cincinnati Zoo. It's okay. It's okay. No, he was a gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo.

[Amanda]

Are you lying?

[Shane]

I'm not lying to you. I'm telling you a true story.

[Amanda]

Lie a lot.

[Shane]

I'm not. I'm telling you a true story.

[Amanda]

Okay. Okay. Okay. All right.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

And the kids 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. They then shot Harambe. It's. It's sad. They shot Harambe and they killed him.

[Amanda]

Why are we laughing?

[Shane]

I'm la. 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. Like, why would they shoot him?

[Amanda]

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

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Why would they kill Harambe?

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Is there a protest that I could go.

[Shane]

Amanda, Harambe deserves to live.

[Kiana]

Amanda 2024.

[Amanda]

Is there a group I could join?

[Shane]

I am so sorry that we're throwing you back into 2017 right now or 2016 or whatever.

[Amanda]

My heart is broken for Harambe.

[Shane]

Dude, the amount of memes about Harambe, like Harambe in heaven, like people, you'll still. I want you to pay attention.

[Amanda]

How old is that kid now?

[Shane]

I. I will find him. He's going to say, you're going to avenge Harambe.

[Amanda]

Yeah, I am. I am.

[Shane]

No, people were very sad about Harambe. He's. He's still. People know about Harambe.

[Amanda]

This is going to take me days to process.

[Shane]

I know. No, we've had years. I've had. Amanda.

[Amanda]

This.

[Shane]

This happened eight years ago.

[Amanda]

Well, I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my work week. So thank you. So, thank you.

[Shane]

I'm so sorry to bring the bad news about Harambe.

[Amanda]

This is awful. I can't believe I was in a fun place and now I'm not. Do. Do the Christmas related one.

[Shane]

Okay. You got Santa. See, this is the thing. It's November. People talk about Mariah Carey getting unfrozen around this time.

[Amanda]

Oh, she's. No, no, I think she's on her way out.

[Shane]

Well, her mu. But.

[Amanda]

But for sure, for sure. Totally cool.

[Shane]

There is someone more important to me around Christmas time now. And Courtney, you know, Courtney, you know, his name is a nook and he is. He is the embodiment of Christmas for me now.

[Spencer]

Yep.

[Shane]

Yep. This guy is incredible. He's a tick tocker. He sings. He sings all sorts of songs.

[Angela]

He's a beautiful man.

[Shane]

He's gorgeous. He has a million filters on. I have a photo of him I obviously can't play.

[Angela]

He's got contacts on. He's got.

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Shane]

This is. This is him. This is him. This is what he looks like in his. And in his videos. He looks like this too. He's always got that smile. He's always got a little bit of a smile, a little bit of a smirk.

[Angela]

English is not his first language.

[Shane]

I see blue eyes. I don't think he speaks any English. 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. It's the Christmas song. It's chestnuts roasting over an open fire.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

And you should pull it. You can just look up. Look up Chirstnuts on TikTok. And you'll find it. And he'll just be like, church. Not rotting on an open fire. It's like that. And it's gorgeous. And he's gorgeous. Nipping at your nose.

[Amanda]

I love him.

[Shane]

Jack Frost nipping at your nose.

[Tommy]

It's.

[Shane]

It's. It's incredible.

[Amanda]

Dude, I want this. Does he ever do lives?

[Shane]

Incredible. Oh, yes. He does do lives.

[Angela]

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.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Careless Whisper.

[Shane]

Yeah, he crushes it. No, Anuk is top three TikToker.

[Amanda]

I will be following Anouk.

[Shane]

Oh. Absolute legend.

[Amanda]

Where is he from?

[Shane]

No idea.

[Amanda]

Awesome.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Whoa. You'd rather keep him bathed.

[Shane]

Bathed in mystery.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

That's right.

[Amanda]

With Churchnuts.

[Shane]

That's right.

[Amanda]

Right. Holy.

[Shane]

He's the best. I knew it.

[Amanda]

Christmas is just. Brings out all these weird.

[Shane]

Hold on. I want to see if I can. If I look up Ch Nuts, will I just get the original chestnut? Should be on Everyone. No. Whoa.

[Angela]

This is why you're an idiot for not having chestnuts rosing out of fire on your media playlist this year.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Amanda]

Let me see him.

[Shane]

Tell me I didn't nail that earlier.

[Amanda]

I love him.

[Shane]

Tell me I didn't nail that.

[Angela]

He's amazing.

[Amanda]

He's stunning.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Kissed by an angel. My God.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

I hope I'm pronouncing that right, but. Well, I Love.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

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. Yeah, I feel like that's fair. I mean, everyone. 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.

[Shane]

Are you gonna see Five Nights at Freddy's?

[Amanda]

Freddy Krueger?

[Shane]

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

[Kiana]

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.

[Kiana]

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

[Shane]

It's.

[Kiana]

It's basically Chuck E. Cheese. I like it. 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.

[Kiana]

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

[Shane]

I thought it was one of the kids of the owner of it put the other kid in the suit or like.

[Kiana]

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

[Shane]

Spring lock or something.

[Kiana]

Yeah, like a spring trap or something.

[Shane]

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

[Kiana]

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

[Amanda]

Did he die?

[Kiana]

He died. Not immediately. They like took the time and then he died.

[Shane]

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

[Kiana]

The owner killed kids and would like, whoa.

[Amanda]

How did I miss out on this true crime story?

[Kiana]

There's this guy, his name's Matthew Patrick and He has this YouTube channel. And he kind of goes into it.

[Shane]

Cause he goes into. He's a true crime youtuber and so he goes in on all of these types of things. And he does full in depth thing about, about.

[Amanda]

Whoa.

[Shane]

Freddy Fazbear is the, the, the, 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.

[Kiana]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And I wonder, I, 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's, it really got nuts. And I think there were more where the Internet got nuts was that they were saying like that The Animatronics were at a certain point doing it on their own. Yeah, like. But.

[Amanda]

Well, yeah, the Internet. You have to be really careful with the Internet and crime stories because they go off. And it's funny because I was gonna come back at you guys with all.

[Shane]

My murder shows, and we knew it.

[Amanda]

And you guys knew it.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

I hadn't, but what I was saying is, like, you know, like the, the murder show about the Hotel Cecile. The Cecile Hotel. It. It turns out that, like, all of that was just like, web sleuths, like, their opinions.

[Kiana]

So I, I, some.

[Amanda]

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, Matpat's pretty good.

[Shane]

He's.

[Amanda]

[Shane]

Yeah, that's his name.

[Kiana]

But, yeah.

[Shane]

So.

[Kiana]

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. The thing was like, the, The. So this is kind of where the movie comes in. Cause 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.

[Shane]

He would hide the bodies in there.

[Kiana]

Like, but, like, obviously, like, possession's not real. Like, blah, blah, blah. That's not real. But then the movie's like, oh, like. But, like, what if, like, those.

[Amanda]

It took it another step possessed.

[Shane]

Like, blah, blah, blah.

[Amanda]

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

[Kiana]

Like, these stories.

[Amanda]

Angela and I, we. We always trade stories. But I will go for hours digging into. 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 on a rabbit hole in their life. Yeah, 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.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Oh, you know. You know, later I'm gonna fucking Google shocked.

[Shane]

You haven't heard about it.

[Amanda]

The bite 83.

[Kiana]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Well, I thought it was the bite of 82.

[Kiana]

No, there's the bite of 83.

[Shane]

[Shane]

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

[Kiana]

Was the.

[Shane]

The. Yeah, William Afton.

[Amanda]

I can't believe I missed out on that. Sometimes I' and be like, what is this about? Night stalker. Hmm. 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.

[Shane]

This all happened in Utah.

[Amanda]

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

[Kiana]

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

[Shane]

They tried to.

[Spencer]

It's true.

[Amanda]

East coast too.

[Shane]

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, okay. 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, let me see if I can get his voice. Cause it's really scary.

[Amanda]

Yeah, you got it.

[Tommy]

He's got. 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 see. 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, like, 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'll. It's just like. It's like manic anger in an old man.

[Shane]

It's not a joke. No. He's being for real.

[Spencer]

Yes.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

What?

[Amanda]

Deleted his TikTok.

[Shane]

Is he anywhere else?

[Tommy]

He's on Instagram. He also makes music, and it's not bad.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Tommy]

I don't know.

[Shane]

Whoa.

[Spencer]

Really?

[Tommy]

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

[Amanda]

Oh, boy.

[Shane]

That's incredible.

[Amanda]

He, like, went to. He feels like he went to Woodstock and he's like. And he's got, like.

[Tommy]

He did the wrong drugs at Woodstock.

[Amanda]

Is what he did.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

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

[Tommy]

Why isn't everyone dancing?

[Amanda]

Yes.

[Shane]

Yes.

[Tommy]

It's like, calm down.

[Shane]

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

[Tommy]

Thank you.

[Shane]

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

[Tommy]

That's right.

[Shane]

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

[Tommy]

Yeah.

[Shane]

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.

[Amanda]

I know.

[Shane]

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?

[Tommy]

Palm 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, like, 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 all day and they walk around, and they go home.

[Amanda]

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

[Tommy]

Yes.

[Amanda]

Like kind of 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.

[Tommy]

These from a remote.

[Amanda]

Yep.

[Tommy]

And my shoes.

[Shane]

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

[Tommy]

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

[Amanda]

And they're done up so intensely. I'd be like, yeah, well, this is. This is a Prada. And they're. And they're just the plastic.

[Tommy]

Her eyes are like.

[Amanda]

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 fucking party.

[Tommy]

Yep. They're 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.

[Shane]

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

[Tommy]

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

[Shane]

I got served a couple of those.

[Tommy]

Yeah, okay.

[Shane]

Yeah, I got that. That had high views. So I don't know. It's. Problem is there's so much.

[Tommy]

Right.

[Shane]

There's so much of it, and I don't know what people, who we are on their feed, what they're.

[Angela]

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

[Amanda]

Okay, thank you, Kiana.

[Shane]

[Angela]

It's just mostly the audio.

[Spencer]

Like, so.

[Angela]

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.

[Angela]

So there was this trend online.

[Amanda]

Am I wrong?

[Angela]

There we go.

[Amanda]

I think I know what this is.

[Angela]

So there used to be these 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.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Mr. Crab always had that thick ass.

[Angela]

Here's another one.

[Shane]

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

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

[Angela]

It was an app that you could just type those.

[Shane]

That's fucking.

[Amanda]

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

[Shane]

I know. I didn't know that one.

[Angela]

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

[Shane]

Yeah, the baby girlification.

[Angela]

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

[Amanda]

Wait, this sounds familiar.

[Angela]

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

[Angela]

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

[Shane]

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

[Angela]

This literally is in my like, to already. Do you mind?

[Shane]

These are the. These are the.

[Angela]

I showed Shane basement yard. Obsessed with those little boys.

[Shane]

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.

[Angela]

Okay, ready?

[Amanda]

They're hilarious.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

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

[Tommy]

I'm not gonna kiss. Can you kiss me?

[Shane]

I'd be like, I can.

[Amanda]

Will you kiss me?

[Shane]

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 seconds. I got it.

[Shane]

I think it happens. Men being comfortable with their sexuality.

[Amanda]

Exactly.

[Angela]

Exactly.

[Shane]

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

[Angela]

Oh, we know.

[Shane]

I'm 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.

[Shane]

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.

[Angela]

Well, that's a different type of guy.

[Shane]

He's too beefy.

[Angela]

To be clear.

[Amanda]

He's too beefy.

[Shane]

This is a little bit more like musician.

[Amanda]

No, not my musician.

[Angela]

No. There's a TikTok sound that's viral right now where it's like, I just love when a woman has a little gay boyfriend.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Angela]

He has his little vintage jeans, his tote bag, and his mustache.

[Shane]

He's probably wearing. He might wear cloud bottoms.

[Angela]

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, and it is a new guy. But that is a different type of guy. I think the baby girlification, like, there are baby girl compilations of Shane. Of Shane being baby girl.

[Amanda]

Baby girl. Often.

[Angela]

Often baby girl. Dare I say.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Am I baby boy sometimes?

[Angela]

What is baby boy? Let's explore that.

[Amanda]

Just made up because I'm grounded.

[Shane]

No, you're big scary man. Sometimes.

[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 a gun owner. Get off my property.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

It's Tommy Lee Jones of me.

[Tommy]

Hello.

[Shane]

Oh, how Tom Selleck of you.

[Amanda]

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

[Angela]

Amazing.

[Amanda]

I don't care.

[Shane]

Have you seen the Tim Allen doom model?

[Amanda]

No.

[Tommy]

Where they replaced.

[Shane]

So this is.

[Amanda]

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

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

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]

That's so funny. I loved Home Improvement.

[Shane]

Well, then you're gonna love what was.

[Amanda]

The man behind the fence. I hate that. Okay. I kind of hate that.

[Shane]

Damn.

[Amanda]

I missed out on such a Funny, Funny world.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

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 some. All of them past a. The most. 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.

[Amanda]

I know about Ken Bone.

[Shane]

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.

[Shane]

Mr. Ponton, I believe you have a filter turned on in the video settings. You might want to. Can you hear me, Judge? I can hear you. I think it's a filter. It is, and I don't know how to remove it. I've got my assistant here. She's trying to. But I'm prepared to go forward with it. That's. I'm here live. It's not. I'm not a cat. I can. 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.

[Kiana]

Oh, my God.

[Shane]

So that's diabolical. That's great.

[Amanda]

What?

[Shane]

Yes. So he became.

[Amanda]

So the universe purposely put the kitten on him.

[Shane]

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 a psycho.

[Amanda]

You think a hacker, like, did that on the show?

[Shane]

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?

[Shane]

Good. How's it going?

[Amanda]

Hope all is well.

[Shane]

Yeah, things are going good.

[Angela]

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

[Shane]

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.

[Angela]

Awesome.

[Amanda]

So those are the shit that he sends me. Great.

[Angela]

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

[Shane]

The.

[Angela]

The Replenish video.

[Shane]

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

[Angela]

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.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And they're just like. 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.

[Angela]

It's like a cousin is staying over.

[Shane]

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

[Spencer]

Kids.

[Shane]

When you're kids, you took a soda out of the fridge, what would you do? And 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. He just leaves. It's so funny.

[Amanda]

How old is the cousin?

[Shane]

This is in the 20s.

[Amanda]

Oh, God.

[Angela]

It's literally like the dad's like, when we Were the kid. When we would go to the basement, get a soda from the fridge, what would we do? You replenish. What the daddy doesn't fucking replenish.

[Shane]

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 buff 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, 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.

[Tommy]

He can't do it.

[Shane]

He'll just like, dad, dad. Gah. Like, and then he'll be like, he'll like. And like, no, like a squat with all of them. Which mind you.

[Tommy]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Shane]

No, the jokes, the comments are always like, I see it's spine day again. 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 free.

[Shane]

It's, it's, it's a good open rack. No, no, no, no, no. He could possibly die.

[Amanda]

What is at any moment with this man.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Oh, it's for God term.

[Shane]

The term that I'm sure the term is called ego lifting. When you're just like lifting weight that you can't actually do. But there's Another guy that I've seen a couple of 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 it's. 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 say, and he'll just be like, he's like hitting himself. He's like, ah. And then he'll get on the leg race 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. God, what the hell?

[Shane]

Awesome. No, the weightlifting TikTok is weird. I've got. I'm finally getting away from weightlifting. Tik tok. 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 fat belly? We're gonna get cortisol. 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. No way.

[Shane]

Yeah, well, that's what your feet is.

[Amanda]

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

[Tommy]

That's why it's on your feed.

[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.

[Spencer]

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.

[Shane]

That's not a coincidence.

[Spencer]

That's not a coincidence. None of it is. Whoa, 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. Honestly, some of it is really good, believable research, but a lot of it is like, okay, that's a stretch. So we're gonna 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, both.

[Shane]

That 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.

[Spencer]

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 light hearted shipping and like they leaned into it a little bit, but it just, it got really deep.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Spencer]

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 Larrys 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?

[Spencer]

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 Larry Stylinson.

[Amanda]

That's all it is.

[Shane]

This is now a very. Well. Have you not heard of like people say am Angela?

[Amanda]

Oh, a million times. Yeah.

[Shane]

Or like, you know, Shamian. Yeah.

[Spencer]

The Anthony.

[Amanda]

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

[Shane]

Yeah. No. It's fascinating that it's like a kind of 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're in love.

[Amanda]

But is it always shipping their names together?

[Ryan]

Does that always mean it is Ryan Seacrest here? There was a recent social media trend which consisted of flying on a plane with no music, no movies, no entertainment. But a better trend would be going to chumbacasino.com. it's like having a mini social casino in your pocket. Chumba casino has over 100 online casino style games, all absolutely free.

[Shane]

No, I don't think so.

[Amanda]

I don't think so.

[Shane]

I think it's changed.

[Spencer]

Harry and, like, Niall had, like, a really big bromance, and they were nary. Like, people, like, loved them. Like, you can ship them, like, in a platonic friendship way. But Larry, people took it very seriously.

[Shane]

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.

[Spencer]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

Oh, yeah.

[Shane]

And I'm like, that's fascinating to me.

[Spencer]

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

[Amanda]

What else do you have?

[Shane]

A knife.

[Spencer]

Okay, so this.

[Amanda]

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

[Spencer]

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.

[Shane]

That's the most 2010 tweet.

[Spencer]

This is 2010. 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 mind, 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?

[Shane]

Yes.

[Amanda]

All right, let's move on.

[Shane]

I've watched the Fugitive.

[Amanda]

There's more than that.

[Shane]

I've watched Men in Black.

[Amanda]

Okay.

[Spencer]

So many references. I do not know.

[Shane]

You don't know men in public.

[Spencer]

I know that one.

[Amanda]

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

[Spencer]

Okay, so Larry Deepens. Partly because Louis and Harry kind of lean into it a little bit.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amanda]

I mean, because they're friends.

[Spencer]

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.

[Amanda]

I think that's.

[Spencer]

Let me find it.

[Shane]

I think this is.

[Amanda]

I think that's fine.

[Spencer]

I already printed it out. But there's this one iconic tweet where, like, Louis, like Harry Styles is always in my heart. And this is the second most liked tweet ever.

[Amanda]

In the world.

[Spencer]

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

[Shane]

Oh, that's such a good one.

[Amanda]

That's such a good one.

[Spencer]

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

[Shane]

How were you feeling about Larry at this time?

[Spencer]

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

[Amanda]

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

[Spencer]

I wanted to marry Harry.

[Shane]

So it'd be heartbreaking, Right.

[Spencer]

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.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Spencer]

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

[Shane]

Of course.

[Spencer]

Definitely explore their course. But it just got a little, like, crazy.

[Shane]

Like, they.

[Spencer]

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, 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.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Spencer]

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 and they're.

[Spencer]

Friends and they were bfs. Best friends.

[Shane]

Yeah, they sound like their best buds.

[Spencer]

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.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

The gay little bears, well, everyone freaks.

[Spencer]

Out because all of the boys look to Louis. And so they're like, Louis starts them, and then Harry goes, oh, we don't know that. 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.

[Shane]

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

[Spencer]

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

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

Yeah, exactly.

[Spencer]

Right? Yeah. So that's that lore.

[Shane]

Damn.

[Amanda]

Wow.

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

I had no idea.

[Shane]

That's hilarious.

[Spencer]

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, like, the Larry, like, the crew choosing to. To agree that Larry was a thing. I don't know. It's weird.

[Shane]

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

[Spencer]

It's everywhere. It's all connected. Well, have you guys heard about 28?

[Shane]

28. The number 28?

[Spencer]

Yeah. Have you heard about 28?

[Amanda]

No, this.

[Spencer]

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

[Shane]

Okay.

[Amanda]

And on September, and Harry turned 28.

[Spencer]

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, Louie. 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.

[Spencer]

And then it gets deeper.

[Amanda]

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

[Spencer]

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.

[Shane]

That's 28. No.

[Amanda]

Oh, my God.

[Spencer]

And then July 21st, Harry has his first movie premiere, and Louis releases his second song. What? Seven plus 21. 20.

[Amanda]

28.

[Spencer]

And then August 28th, Harry announces a world tour that's gonna start September 19th. What's nine plus 19?

[Amanda]

28. 28.

[Shane]

Holy shit.

[Amanda]

Holy crap.

[Shane]

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.

[Spencer]

Right. What was your number?

[Shane]

Our number was 69. Yeah. 12.

[Spencer]

And that's hidden in all content.

[Amanda]

Do you know what one plus two is?

[Angela]

Three.

[Shane]

Three.

[Amanda]

And address that. Yeah.

[Shane]

And times four.

[Amanda]

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

[Shane]

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

[Kiana]

Jesus.

[Shane]

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.

[Kiana]

It is a game.

[Shane]

That is. It is a game. So we should play it the entire. We were unfortunately lying. It's made up.

[Kiana]

No, there was no bite of 83.

[Shane]

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

[Kiana]

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

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

You guys feel so bad. You guys made me feel so bad about murder. That is my thing.

[Kiana]

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

[Shane]

I almost lost it.

[Amanda]

Did you guys plan this ahead?

[Shane]

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

[Kiana]

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.

[Kiana]

Yeah. There's also bite of 87.

[Amanda]

Oh, wow.

[Shane]

That was crazy.

[Amanda]

That was. I didn't know anything.

[Shane]

But now you do.

[Amanda]

Thank God.

[Shane]

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

[Amanda]

To our regular scheduled programming.

[Shane]

Yeah, that's right.

[Amanda]

No whoopsies.

[Shane]

No more whoopsies for me.

[Amanda]

Yeah.

[Shane]

Okay. All right, bye.

[Amanda]

Goodbye. Now.
